[G1 General] legend0fthefall:
Thx!! That is working, at least partially. It let me set it up using the email app, but still has login issues, lots of username/password incorrect issues. BUT... it is working well enough to say that the solution you posted is at least one solution.

I've also set a bookmark using the browser for mobile yahoo mail that works too, just doesn't notify of new emails.

Thx!!
[G1 General] just2good4u3434:
I come from using many other mp3 players in the past, and I got a G1 to be my "be all" piece of hardware. One area that I feel the phone is lacking is in the music department.

I was wondering if a developer could create some sort of app that allows for track switching from the lock screen.

Or better yet, when I had my Blackberry I was able to hold the volume up button and that would switch to the next track while holding down on the volume rocker would go to the previous track. Just clicking the volume rocker would still adjust volume. Is there any way to implement this into the G1?
[G1 General] jashsu:
There's probably some way to do all you describe above, but Android 1.5 supports AVRCP. If your BT headphones have playback controls they will work fine with G1 whenever music is playing, regardless of whether the screen is locked.
[G1 General] SolemnWishing:
I believe Hero has some controls while in the lockscreen, forgive me if I'm mistaken. I just came off of it, reliability was too big of a trade off.

The titile says it all.

I have a replacement phone on the way due to a lot of issues with dropped calls.

I wanted to check with the crew here. What do I need to do prior return. Do I need to simply re-install the stock 6.1 rom and re-install? do i need to re-lock the phone?

Thanks for the help in advance

Focused
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Snakehn:
reinstall and re-lock sounds about right
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoz350:
Yes. Re-lock and re-install stock ROM.

1. Flash the .40 unlocker

2. Let the phone reboot

3. Run stock RUU.exe (bootloader will say .36)

4. Let the phone reboot

5. Let customizations run

6. Pack up your phone for return.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] focusedonsound:
Thanks for the replies!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] turael:
Why is this?

it doesn't seem to use too much CPU or memory (using coreplayer). as soon as i pause the music, diamond is lag free. as soon as i resume, its a lag fest.

is there a tweak for this somewhere? I did spend some time searching and browsing for an answer, but i dont have all day :o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Zero|Cool:
it's absolutely normal that your diamond lags out, mine does that too. However core player is a heavy program just to listen to music, try using HTC Audio Player wich is lighter
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] theillustratedlife:
HTC has announced that Hero will include multitouch support. Since much of their Sense UI is hacked onto Android, this makes me wonder:

Are they exposing an actual multitouch API for Android developers, or are they overloading an unused property (e.g. MotionEvent.size) like Luke Hatch's homebrew multitouch does?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bobdude5:
idk

but whatever htc did ..it looks awsome..the ui on hero when its full speed is soo stunning and the mutlitouch is so smooth
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bluekieran:
Is "full speed" acheivable on a Magic?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] John_Black:
Do you guys think its possible to port the rom over to magic? and get the upgraded UI?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bobdude5:
there is a port

from nk02 but its a little buggy and alot of the features are missing but htc said theyre gonna make the updates available to htc devices running android..so if you plan on getting that samsung youre sol if you want rosie..that is until the brilliant minds here port it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lbcoder:
Since they are exactly the same thing save for the shape of the case, yes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Draxter:
Some magics (vodafone branded ones) have less RAM than the hero.

HTC's CEO stated that they're going to slap the sense UI on an existing HTC, which will probably be the sapphire :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bobdude5:
actually if you flash the nk02 hero rom

it has multitouch
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k4r1m:
HTC has announced that the sense UI WON'T be avaliable to t-mobile and vodafone users since the whole google issue they have, they didnt say anything about the "other" htc branded phones like rogers but m assuming updates will be avaliable to those.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avimak:
Once the Hero is out, we'll have it on our device.. no needs to wait for "official" HTC releases for the Google's branded phones, this is XDA-developers!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BinaryFabric:
I cant help but feel that I have been somewhat cheated by Vodafone for the less ram issue, they pulled a fast one on us. If this is what stands between me and the new Sense UI, then i can tell you that we have not only been robbed by Vodafone but by HTC as well. With the money I spent on this phone, the new Ui is the least they can do.

Thats what i like to hear. I cant wait until this day comes to try it out.

Anybody found a way to save the People list in TF3D so I do not need to re-add everytime I hard reset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] agamahendra:
in my case, i just use backup program to solve it.. just custom backup only the contacts and contact pictures (which i save in My Documents/) before you hard reset.. just restore it when you finish hard resetting..

serves me well til now.. hope it'd help..

best regards..
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] arcanehacker:
Anybody found a way to save the People list in TF3D so I do not need to re-add everytime I hard reset.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Forever022:
excellent question. I've wonder for quite some time for that same answer. Perhaps if you do a backup with Sprite back up might do. Since I left the tilt (kaiser) for the fuze (rafael) haven't ever used sprite back up. I know every back up used to take somewhat like 30-40 Mb... now the question is to locate a cab for it and test it if it backs up those contacts.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] arcanehacker:
I don't use backup apps.. I would need a scheduled full backup everyday to have the latest restore, coz I wouldn't know when a app would hang my WM.

Besdes, backups are not effective against firmware upgrades. In fact, its not advisable.

I use Sashimi for applications and settings restore. I would like to know if there is a file to backup for that portion. I know I can't find it in registry.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] jmckeejr:
PIM.vol holds your contact info as well as TF3D faves. Copy it to storage card and copy back after flash. This DOES NOT contain messages. So you would still need to backup messages with pim backup(or similar app) unless you can somehow copy cemail.vol. I havent been able to do it on Fuze, but there is a script arpound here that will help copy it(since it is in use by system from boot).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] tyguy:
+1 on the PIM vol comment.

Furthermore give SPB Backup a shot (it's NOT free). I use SPB Backup since my Tilt/Kaiser times and even under the latest TF3D2 after a restore all contacts under the people tab including the assigned images were flawless restored.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] AdamiX:
And it is possible to restore backup on phone where you cange your ROM?

I think that you have got old ROM so you make a backup and then you change ROM in phone and restore backup.

Is any problem with this?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] JPHCCFC:
would overwriting the pim.vol create duplicates following a rom upgrade and then syncing with contacts on an exchange server?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] tyguy:
DON'T do it even the most sophisticated backup / restore software WILL overwrite settings tweaks and worst case features of the new ROM, especially the little tweaks and tricks the chefs put into them.

Use PIM backup and start reading about UC or Sashimi and what other tricks can be performed to recover quickly after a ROM flash.

@JPHCCFC

.

Can happen and may not happen. If you have everything synced with Outlook make a PIM backup just for security reasongs (in case the new ROM may not sync). Flash, install all your apps and tweaks sync with outlook (in that particular order). This WILL take care of contacts, not more not less. OTHER email programs you may use (google, hotmail) will NOT come back with this method.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cybermobile:
Hello,

Can anyone let me know if the HTC Magic from Rogers in Canada is able to be rooted.

Tks,

Matt
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
OMG ive been trying for ages pls help......
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
There are about 4 or 5 threads on this already.

Currently, the Hero of the Android World Haykuro is hard at work trying to root the Rogers Magic, which is close enough to the Dream so that it should be a similar method. There seems to be a stumbling block with the boot.img and radio (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=523873). You can follow his progress on Twitter at http://twitter.com/haykuro

So, in short, not yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cybermobile:
Update

thanks for the update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mack:
i thought he got the dream and not the magic?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
From what I've heard they are similar enough that once one is figured out, the same method can be modified to work with the other.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
ps how does the daldroid rom work whilst not the hero....???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Theros:
The Rogers phones have different radio hardware among other things, and don't work with other kernels just yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k4r1m:
daldroid rom works on the rogers magic and it gives you adb shell root.... NO MORE GAY ROGERS ICONS.

sorry about that got exicted anyway just flashed mine n stuff, everything seems to be fine :D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nemoid:
Description

: This is a very simple application. It annoys me to all hell that if you have birthdays assigned to your contacts, Windows Mobile will not automatically add them to the calendar. Every phone I've had previous to my WM phone does this. Yeah, you can sync to Outlook, but I refuse to set Outlook up for something that should be done natively.

What's even more frustrating is that the WM5 SDK has a simple code sample (which is where I started this from) to accomplish this task yet it's still not included.

Anyways... this is my first WM application and I think it does it's job pretty well for now.

Notes

:

It currently does not duplicate entries. It will only create entries for birthday's that aren't currently in the calendar. However, if you have a birthday alert set up, but it's not in the form of the contact's "FirstName LastName's Birthday" -- it will duplicate it.

Changelog

:

Version 0.X:

[+] Anniversary Support

[+] Ability to change BusyStatus to "Free," "Busy," or "Tentative"

[+] Debug system

Version 0.2:

[+] Added ability to customize reminder time for birthday alerts.

[#] Fixed birthday start date (it now starts the event on the contact's birthday and shows their age on the event subject)

[#] Fixed bug where events couldn't be edited because of incorrect end time

[#] Fixed other minor bugs

Version 0.1:

[+] Initial Release

Todo

:

Make it pretty?

Silent Mode

Ability to Delete/Overwrite existing calendar entries.

If you guys find any bugs/problems, or simply have any comments, criticism, or suggestions, please let me know. The goal of this program is simply to do what it does. However if I can improve it in any way I definitely will.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eViL D::
Bravo, I was wondering the same thing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mindfrost82:
I haven't tested it yet, but I like the idea.

If I add a contact later on and run your app, will it duplicate the entries, or does it check to see if the birthdays are already added and just add the new ones?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramrod:
Hi.

this is a cool program, i was wait a long time for it.

its check the entries, no duplicates.

really god work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thebranded:
quick question, how soon before the the reminder activates? can you set it to 1day, 1 week, etc?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AcidAssassin:
I wonder how was the result too. Will is duplicate the item(s) or will just update the new one? Because we always key in contact's birthday subsequently. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] novahob:
good little program though I have the following points:

- it would best if the status of the entry be set as free.

- the all day appointment is entered wrong in the dates i.e. 25/06/09-24/06/09. which means you can't edit it, if required

- could the first time the program is run work out the age of the person as if the appointment was entered on the day they were born?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigix1:
Very well. And very good idea.

I wait for version with anniversary.

Did you think to make a multilanguage version? It should be easy (few strings and menu).

If yes, i'm here for ita translation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sriramkrishnan06:
excellent...I always wanted such an app...syncing with outlook is crap

kudos...just few points:

1. Provision for anniversaries

2. Does it overwrite previous entries?

3. GUI can be improved and Iam sure you are working on it...

else, its a fantastic effort

good luck
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deedee:
Last one sounds like a good idea especially as S2U2 shows the "age" of the anniversary on the lock screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wlofea:
Excellent idea. ThanQ
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ati75:
Excellent! I was waiting for something like this. Just last week i forgot a birthday. Shouldn't happen from now on. You're a life saver :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] millski:
Great little app, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] warri:
I just used the App, then Soft reset, not all of the birthdays were added to the calendar. And their birthdays were synced off Facebook. (using a Fuze with winmo 6.5)

If run the app again, it says none of the dates were added, you might already have them added.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nemoid:
I believe it is currently set at 2 Hours. I will add this to my To-Do list, to make the reminder time customizable. I'll also have to make the option to overwrite the current values because right now it will just skip over any existing entry.

Added to To-Do list.

Nice spot! Will fix this in the next release.

Do you mean make it so that the recurring event STARTS on the contact's birthday? I am going to fix that in the next release.

Multi-language is a possibility, however I want to get the program pretty finalized before I attempt eyecandy/translation type stuff.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nemoid:
*** NOTE (6/25/09): I have taken down the program for the time being. I've found a bug that might cause some problems for users with large contact lists (with contact's birthday's). By not starting the the recurring event on the user's birthday, each subsequent yearly event shows them as being 1, 2, 3, etc instead of their current age + 1, 2, 3, etc. I don't currently have a way to replace the events without deleting them all before hand, so I don't want to cause problems for anyone. I should hopefully have this fixed tonight ***
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Highkey:
Nice Idea, but with bad results for me. Now i have hundreds of calender tasks on my PDA. And every single birthday is wrong on date and age (all are aged 0 years) After sync with Outlook i can't find the wrong data. How can i get the wrong data of my pda?

best regards

Stefan
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nemoid:
Version 0.2 uploaded. Check first post for change log including new features and bug fixes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gruvngyrl:
This program sounds so great. Can't wait to install it and give it a try, since I, like others, have been wondering why I had the option to add birthdays, but it didn't sync with my calendar.

Good job, and I'm looking forward to the future incarnations!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] richabi:
I have been posting on the forums forever for an app like this. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're a savior!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paalkr:
Hi, thanks great app!

This adds the birthdays to the calendar en a much better way than Desktop Outlook does, especially the added age indicator and the the notifications are more sensible. The Desktop Outlook ones go off by midnight, duhh!

But, is there a way to remove all the notifications created by Desktop Outlook 2007, and prevent it from creating new ones?

Regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RucaNebas:
Works on SPB shell 3 ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I think it only adds them when you add a new contact, so you should be able to just delete them. Or, just don't use desktop outlook! :D (I'm sure there is a way, and I'll dig around for it)

This is such a neat, and simple way of achieving something I've wanted for some time! Thanks! :)

The only possible issue I have with it, is I HAVE TOO MANY CONTACTS! And it takes a little bit of time to do...

EDIT: Found a real issue this time... The window doesn't handle loosing focus very well... If I pop another application open, and leave B2C in the background, and then return to B2C it doesn't redraw (apart from the button). I'm guessing that could be fixed by handling WM_ACTIVATE differently
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] diogoperas:
Thank you very much!!!!!

Best application ever. :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] holmanm:
Would it be possible to add a parameter (such as -silent) so that it could be run without any gui or notification? This would allow it to be added to the StartUp folder and automatically add any birthdays added since the last reboot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kensong:
Thanks a lot for this. I have a couple of feature request that may make this even better.

1. The ability to "Remove All" from calendar entries. Can be useful.

2. The abilty to overwrite entries with new settings (eg changed Alarm setting)

BTW, the alarm time eg 30 mins is based on what time?

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nemoid:
I'll have to look into that. I haven't seen a problem with the losing focus problem. What device are you running this on?

I think I can work that in eventually.

I've been tinkering with a way to do this. I have a few ideas but have to come up with a solid plan to implement both of your ideas.

The 30 min (I'm assuming you mean reminder time) is based off nothing. You can change it to whatever you want.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neoceltic:
Great app. Thanx a lot!

Waiting for the multilang update. :)

Just an issue: in notification subject I can not see the age. :confused:

Only Name's Birthday is displayed.

EDIT: Sorry! no issue for the age, it's correctly displayed in windows mobile default calendar.:)

(It's not displayed in TF3D2 Manila calendar and notification :()
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mac_es:
Hi,

could it write the birthdays to a registry key, or to a file?

I miss in new titanium interface the option of showing the next birthdays. It could be done easily whith mortsciprt if I have the information in a text file or in registry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neoceltic:
Maybe you refers to what time does the 30 min alarm time start from?

The events are setted as all day event so it starts from 00.00 of the birthday's date. By default (30 min reminder) are 23.30 of the day before.

But as the author said you can easily change as your desire.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Homer-S:
Hello, I love this tiny tool!!!!

Would it be possible to make a language ini? I would make German translation.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rxyamaha:
Yeah.. Excellent tiny tool, Have been waiting for such a tool. Sick of entering the details on both calendar and on Contacts.. This made life simpler.. Thanks for such a tool.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kensong:
Yup, that was precisely what I meant. Thanks for clearing that up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kensong:
The latest version of SKTools actually allow you to create calendar entries for both Birthdays and Anniversaries from Contacts. It's found under Reccuring Appointments. I found I can use it to delete entries created by B2C while this feature is being worked on.

B2C Error

I keep getting an error that says:

The query string is incorrectly formatted. Parameter name: (Birthday)<> Jan 1,1601 00:00:00

anyone else gets this?

It happens when I hit "Add Birthdays". Is it because I'm running it on wm 6.5?

Thanks for your help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] focosi:
nemoid, thanks for your great app !

Could you please give us an option to choose if alarm the birthday event or not ? Sometimes it is not pleasant to be awake at midnight for a far relative's birthday ! :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nemoid:
Yeah, I was pretty annoyed about TF3D2 not showing the age either :mad: Nothing I can do about that though.

That is interesting. I am going to check out SKTools and see how it works. Thanks for the heads up.

That's what the "Reminder" feature is for. All Day events start a midnight, so base the reminder off that.

Hmm, I'm running 6.5 so that shouldn't be an issue. More than likely it's an issue with your contacts. How many of your contacts have birthdays? Are they all formatted correctly?

See above. I am planning on adding an option to not have a reminder for the birthday's, as well.

I've been pretty busy so I'm hoping to get working on this again. Hopefully I should get another version with more features out soon.
