[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cko2:
does anyone know a possibility to have the home button on the td2 closing an active application. its kinda hard to press the upper right X with the fingers and would be nice to have it on that button... ohwell it should close the app and go to the homescreen actually :-) any chance to get that working?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdic:
Settings / All Settings / Personal / Buttons and there you can change function of your button (initial value is "Today")
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cko2:
actually i only have 1 button to configure there.. and im not even sure which one is that... its called button 1... ??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paokaras45:
this is the answer button long pressed.

i use that for soft reset program
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omar302:
In most applications the back key acts the same as pressing the 'X' on the top right corner.

Only in Opera, as far as I know & maybe YouTube, that thee back key will act as 'Back'.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cko2:
sadly this is not true.. even if i configure the answer button to ok/close it does not work properly. for example.. i open calendar and use the back button or press answer button a long time it will not close it - its still visilbe in the tasklist in upper right corner of the screen.

or is there maybe an app which will shutdown all open tasks when phone goes to standby mode?
[General Topics] Sebacestmoi:
In the Outlook app when you write an sms or an email you have an option called "My Text" where it's possible to save some sentences to write them when you want.

I have made a lot of sentences and I want to backup them all.

Where are they? In registry? In a file?

Thanks for the answer!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] itm:
I've just switched network providers and haven't set up the data connection yet, but I've noticed that the phone has been repeatedly trying to access GPRS all day - about 15-20 times between 10am and 4:30pm.

I use SPB Mobile Shell 3, and have the weather app set to update manually. I also have Outlook set to send/receive manually, so I can't work out which application is trying to access the net. Does anyone know how I can find out, before I clock up a huge data bill?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Maniacfest:
What about the auto web page loading thingy? Have you set that up???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] itm:
No - I've never enabled it.

I've just installed SPB Wireless Monitor and the two processes that seem to be doing it are system.exe and services.exe. These both sound like naive WM processes, so don't really give me a clue what's going on.

I read in another post that Google Maps/Latitude may connect to the internet regularly, so I disabled that feature but there's still something connecting on a regular basis.

???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dazultra2000:
The only other thing I am aware it could be is the Manila Facebook updater that's built into the contacts part of TF3D2. Check that out:

People->All People->3rd Tab(person with a clock)->Menu->Data connection setting
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] itm:
I have TF3D2 disabled as I use SPB Mobile Shell. Hence I'm not even able to access the TF3D menu. Is there any way of checking this without removing SPB Mobile Shell?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] itm:
Does anyone know of a program which will selectively allow internet access to specified applications only?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BimperSticker:
You could try this one: NO DATA app
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] itm:
Thanks - I already run NoData, but I'd like something which explicitly allows net access to some apps but not to others. That way I won't have to remember to switch GPRS on every time I want to browse, and off when I'm finished.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] itm:
I finally worked out which app was accessing the net - it was the Funambol client. The newer version is set to "Push" updates by default, rather than sync manually. Now I can finally leave my 3G access enabled without fear of clocking up unexpected charges....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jahr:
Hello, what is Funambol? I have the same problem (connecting to GPRS network frequently), but I didnt find such application. Thank you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] itm:
It's a SyncML client - allows synchronisation of my calendar, contacts etc with my Google calendar/Gmail contacts
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jahr:
Thanks for the quick reply. Do you or anybody else have any idea which application is still connection to the net? I'm using neither Opera nor TF.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] foxman01:
So, it's this. Htc magic is a very pleasant and nice mobile, except for construction quality. It is plastic and the buttons are small. The biggest disappointment must still be the lack of sending / receiving files via bluetooth.

I had the phone for 5 days before I decide to send it back to the operator. The only positive in the system is still android. htc device has failed completely. It provides a cheap impression when you use it.

I thought first that the screen would be of glass, the screen is a little difficult to use. It does not slide as much as you want.

As I said, I honestly thought that it would be of much better construction quality.

Wait for another phone, maybe samsung i7500. Android system is a very lovely os.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chefgon:
Funny, my first impression was that the Magic was the most solid feeling phone hardware I've ever used. It feels like a solid step up in all respects compared to the iPhone or other HTC devices I've owned.

Bluetooth file transfer is available on the market if you have a rooted phone (and paid apps in your country, I guess), though personally I've never heard of anybody actually using that feature on any phone.

The lack of bluetooth file transfer is a limitation of Android, by the way, not the Magic, so don't expect it to be included in the i7500 (or any other android device) either. That might change when Android 2.0 releases, but I don't expect that to happen any time soon.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] foxman01:
I have a htc diamond that I use, the hardware of the diamond is much better than the magic ( I mean the construction quality ), it is more solid.

I know that bluetooth is a limitation of the android system.

Android is so much better than any other system, like the iphone. Iphone has a much better construction quality than the magic.

It is like too much plastic in the magic.

Many other manufacturers like samsung are able to give us an impression of high quality, although they are constructed of plastic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Tsanger:
I'd have to agree with foxman on the construction of the Magic. The first day I had my Magic the phone started squeaking on the side of the plactic. You may say that I'm a bit anal but it was the first day. I went to my carrier and exchanged luckily. I don't have that problem now but I can see it happening later in the future, after all it is only plastic. It is not like the 1st gen iPhone where it is made up metal. I think the squeaking of the phone may just be inevitable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] foxman01:
It would be interesting to hear how others perceive the quality of the device, read somewhere on the forum about a guy who had a crack in the battery cover..... it perhaps is a construction fault from htc.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=522701&highlight=cover
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BelugaHval:
Weird. I i think its very very solid constructed. Mine doesnt squeek or anything. I've owned an HTC Touch Diamond too but have sold it after 7 months of use. I thought the Diamond was of poorer build quality than the Magic. The magnet that kept the stylus in place fell off after 2 weeks.

And because you read about a guy that had a crack in his phone doesnt mean its craply built. If you search for it i guess you will find someone with a crack in their phone of any brand if you really want to.

I would rather have a phone made of plastic that ways less than a phone that weighs more and have metalparts in its chassis.

I totally disagree with you on that topic. But i agree with the bluetooth thing. I was shocked when i found out that Android doesnt support Bluetooth send/receive. Its 2009!!! My phones have been able to do this for 10 years (almost)!!

I've used it heavily on all my previous phones. And all people i know use it very often. To send a contact for example, or if your girlfriend wants you to have something over the air etc. etc. etc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chefgon:
I assume you guys complaining about bluetooth file transfer are in Europe? Here in the US (where android was designed, of course) there is virtually no demand for that feature at all. I'm a pretty advanced user and I honestly didn't even know that bluetooth had a file transfer profile. It must be a regional thing. Hopefully Google will fill in those gaps for you guys some time soon.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] oxeneers:
I completely agree with the chef. Having owned an iPhone (first generation), iPhone 3G, T-Mobile G1 (black / white) and now the Google Ion (HTC Magic/Sapphire) - it honestly feels better and more solid in my hand than any phone I own. After getting used to the size difference from the G1, I absolutely adore this phone. It is definitely a well built phone.

The Bluetooth file issue is seriously not a big deal. Most people just use USB.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yelo3:
It's not possible to use USB to exchange files between 2 devices: only if you have a computer (or special printers)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DezentSwe:
I've had a lot of phones with bluetooth transfer and I've used it for max 2-3 times, you don't need bluetooth...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] foxman01:
I live in Sweden, here we use the bluetooth daily. Do I have a picture or song that I want to share with me I do it most easily via bluetooth.

I have never believed that a device like this miss this feature. Then I guess that Palm Pre also lacks this feature.

A friend the other day wanted to send a picture via bluetooth, he had an old nokia (which is no longer available for purchase) and I with a 700 dollars phone can not receive it, embarrassing.:o
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Draxter:
My Magic squeeks as well when you push on the left side of the screen :( My former phones had worse build quality... Sony Ericsson W300, W580 and W910...

I use bluetooth a lot as well. It seems the americans aren't that interested in bluetooth but in Europe we use it a lot for sending ringtones, wallpapers, contacts, music, etc. Luckily there is blueX now for sending and recieving over bluetooth.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Der Wichtel:
my magic used to squeak as well when you press on the right side but now after more than one month it's not sqeaking anymore
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] st0kes:
Just thought I'd chip in with my 2 cents.

I would have to disagree about the build quality of the Magic. Mine is a very solid phone and built to a high standard. HTC normally make decent hardware and have done their usual good job on the Magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cgeboers:
Some impressions

I have my HTC Magic for 5 days now and I am getting very fond of it. I have worked with PDAs since WM 3 or 4 (and whatever came before it) and I feel very good with the Android OS.

I had no problems with BT so far, but I use BT only to connect to my handsfree installation in my car.

I agree nothing is perfect, but then WM is already at version 6.x, Android is only 1.5. In my professional live users would not even consider to install such a "young" product :p

What amazed me the most is the ease of programming for the Android and the Magic. The SDK is very well documented and it is easy to find examples and even good books. No need for an expensive IDE either, Eclipse can be used for free, and of course Java is better then C# (Just kidding, please don't start any mailwars on this)

I did some fair programming in the past for WM (see the "Diamond" forum for diamondBeer, etc), but it was always harder then what I did for the Android.

So today after a few hours work, I was already able to bring my first app to the Android Market, called "aMilk" which is the nice version of diamond beer.

I had no quality problems and the interface feels very good. The performance of the Magic is also very good. To make the diamondBeer act as fast as aMilk, I needed to use OpenGL and that was not as easy as it sounded.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] deekjx:
Do you remember the name of that app on the market?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bobdude5:
I hate that its all plastic

scratches very easy and the paint will peel if you drop it and it gets dinged up..the iphone was very solid when i dropped it nothing happened
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Lazzzara:
I admit the lack of bluetooth transfer annoyed me at first, but since we it has a hot-swappable sd card I get by just fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] casper.bang:
Decent build

Funny, I think the Magic has a very decent build. Screen is glass, frame is aluminium with face and back plate in thick plastic. I have definitely seen and felt much cheaper builds.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] foxman01:
Are you sure that the screen is made of glass? I think that it is made of plastic ....

Hope someone with a secure source can confirm this:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] CUGWMUI:
Actually, the bluetooth file transfer is pretty nifty. Here in India, we use to transfer contacts, photos etc pretty often.

And in my current Touch Pro, I send Word/Excel files to my phone very often using bluetooth.. USB is cumbersome, comparatively speaking.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] technocat:
I love it, now got my head around it and absolutely love this phone :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Caid444:
Someone said something about blueX, does that allow you to use bluetooth to send stuff? I find that having bluetooth available for use when you need it is a good thing. Having and not needing, beats needing and not having. Or at least, that's been my experience.

I'm looking forward to getting into the whole android community here on xda. I've been using winmo devices until I obliterated my touch HD yesterday.

Caid.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mad_M:
My brother got a Samsung M8800 Pixon mobile running on TouchWizz (as I understood running on top of WM 6.1).

The problem is that it can not start .exe files, error message I got is "file not supported".

I have really searched across the forums but could not find anything on that topic, so maybe anyone here can help ?

btw. trying to install iGo, don't want to run.exe file which I can run without problem on my HTC Tytn (WM6.1) ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] -gb-:
the .exe just says it is executable - but not on which platform.

if the .exe was compiled for an desktop pc or notebook with intel/amd cpu it only runs on the x86 plattform.

your mobile phone has the ARM plattform - so the program must be compiled for the arm plattform.

you will get an .exe too, but it will only run on arm and not on yur pc.

all software on your phone was compiled for it's plattform and will not run on you pc. so running an .exe file from your pc on your phone and the other way round will not work.

if yo got the source code from the progam, you can compile it (with an croll compiler an your pc) for you phones plattform.

-gb-
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mad_M:
Hi,

tnx fo the response !

This same .exe file is running on my HTC TyTn, which is ARM processor.

I am not sure for Samsung, they say it has Qualcomm MSM6281 processor, which I believe is ARM also.

Aren't Samsung processors anyway ARM based also ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] -gb-:
ok yes it sould be arm ... hm strange.

is there any kind of security layer on your device which prevents you to run unsigned .exes?

i don't have any of these devices but i would try to run other .exe filesfrom one device on the other. just try some copy them to the samsung and run them. if the don't run we still don't know why^^ but if they do - it is perhaps only this one .exe which doesn't run.

-gb-
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fitz:
The Samsung Pixon is not a windows mobile phone, so it can't run .exe files, can't install .cab files and can't navigate with iGO. Otherwise the phone would be a lot more popular then it is today....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mad_M:
Oh ...

that what I was afraid off ...

Are you sure ?

Is it a Symbian then ? Or ?

(I couldn't find that information...)

tnx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mr. Nick:
it does not run a "OS" ....

well it does, but it is one made by samsung......

you have no chance of installing winmo apps.

only java
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mad_M:
which application should I install then (except java), something coded specially for Samsung OS ?

or Symbian apps would work also ?

Do you know what is the base for this OS (is it Symbian, or some linuxoid version...)

any links on some good forums for that kind of aplications ?

tnx !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pongothemagnificent:
It has a propietary OS made by samsung the only applications you can install on it and i dont think you will(cause of security) are java based apps, if its a non branded model then your good to go, but if its a carriers model then its most likely that is application lock't , meaning you can only install official apps, and also if its application lock't most java app's wont have permission to access web content, cause you wont be able to give them permission via settings on the java emulator that the phone has, anyways my advice sell the phone and buy a windows mobile device.

My screen on my Fuze has suddenly stopped working and I would love to be able to connect to activesync with just my hard buttons if possible?

At the moment, it defaults to USB connection and that does not allow me to sync data onto my computer...my question is this:

Is it possible to connect to ActiveSync using a combination of buttons without the use of the screen? Please I need this as it is very important, thank you in advance!

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Skippy38:
I had to exchange my old Fuze due to a sound issue that was covered under warranty, and the the new one they sent is soooooo freaking hot that it almost burns me. Its at the speaker,photo lens, you know where the radio antenna is.

I add HardSPL flashed the latest Radio for the Raph, and I use the latest [ROM][WWE][06/16]<=Premier Series 3.1=> 21812|TF3D|Win7|RELEASED| by xECK29x.

I had no issue with this ROM on my old phone (btw I love the ROM).

DO I possibly have a RLLPHONE issue with the radio??? I am not the most hack pro guy out there. But I can't even get the phone to charge all the way. After a full 24 hour charge I can watch the battery drain right in front of me and it get HOT. I have no WIFI no BT nothing on. Any help form you super brains???

If this is in the wrong channel please forgive the mistake.

I did use the search but receive no real specific help on it. Thank you again!!!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] r04d5t3r:
I think you should exchange the Fuze again as it still under warranty cover...:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] MadMic:
Hey dude, you tried to soft-reset this thing? If that fails try a hard-reset, means you'll have to re-load all your data.. but my raph sometimes goes into battery eat mode and a s/r or h/r sorts it out - I'm h/r all the time as I flasha a lot of differnet ROMS ;-)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Skippy38:
Yeah tried hard reset two different ROMs was gonna try a new radio but ATT is sending me a new phone so screw it. I need to charge this and add the orig spl to it. Forgot to do it to the last one I sent in. But hey the ROM was all Cingular/Att OEM. Hopefully they wont slam me for it. I have an out if they do. As I had to exchange for this phone once before and a lady behind the ATT counter just went in back of the store and came out with a phone said here you go and I was off.

Hopefully it wont occur again. Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Black C5:
Right Rilphone?

Make sure you match your radio with the proper Rilphone.dll. There is a sticky on the ROM forum that can help... David.

If you want the N97 you are going to buy the N97 no mater what phone you have now.. eg the touch HD .

The touch HD ( fro me ) is a fab phone, and does everything that I want it to do .

I have all the fixes etc on my Orange ROM . and it works fab .

I have done the nokia thing.. had a N95 , N73 etc.. and they were not " for me " the touch has it's downfalls.. but so does every phone.....
