Registry entry

Hi

This is a simple registry change:

HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/X/IconPath

Where X is the number if the icon you want to change. I must admit that I don't know what formats you can use (.png, .exe, .dll etc.) Perhaps other users can clarify.

Cheers

Here's my problem...

I have a windows mobile 6.1 smartphone (new Dash 3G) with tmobile voice and data service. I travel alot, so I like to use the internet sharing option on my smartphone to cruise the internet on my laptop (I turn on internet sharing on the smartphone, then plug the smartphone into the laptop via a usb cable.) It works rather well, especially if I am in a 3G area. However, I cannot log into warcraft when using internet sharing on my smartphone. Every time I try to log in, it says "Unable to connect, please try again later. If the problem persists, please contact customer support."

Any thoughts on how I can login into warcraft on my laptop while using the internet sharing option on my windows 6.1 smartphone?

I have no problem connecting using my Fuze w/ WM6.1 on AT&T and my Windows 7 laptop. Latency is a little high, but it's quite playable if going solo.

Maybe T-Mobile blocks the ports that WoW needs to authenticate.
[General Topics] greymarch:
Strangely enough, I can log into the official WoW messageboards via internet sharing on tmobile. I believe those forums use the same login server as the game.
[General Topics] NotATreoFan:
It may be the same server, but IE and Firefox use Port 80 for communication. The WoW Launcher does not.
[General Topics] greymarch:
I use Google Chrome.

The WoW launcher will take me to the login screen, so will running wow.exe. Regardless, if I use the WoW launcher or run WoW.exe, I cannot get past the login screen.
[General Topics] NotATreoFan:
Google Chrome applies as well. What I meant was that web browsers use Port 80 for HTTP traffic, but the actual WoW executable does not use Port 80. T-Mobile might be blocking the port WoW needs to communicate with the authentication server.

Exactly how many apps are there for windows mobile?

Until recently I assumed that WinMo>Symbian>Iphone.

Apparently that's wrong.

I was going to buy one with all the other sheep but decided to buy an ipod touch. Works great, but the first time I put it in my pocket and crouched down a bit later it nealy killed it!

Screen went a nice mix of colours and it totally stopped working. Quite a few plug ins to the computer and it came back to life.

There just to fragile and to big(iphone is thicker than the touch also), good girls phone or if you carry a handbag.

Glade I got the Jade not a problem so far.
[General Topics] 8525Smart:
Is that the AT&T contract you have to sign up for to get an iPhone? If that's the case, why not just buy the iPhone unlocked? It's expensive, but it cost about as much as any HTC phone I've seen.

As of right now, the iPhone has roughly 50K-60K of apps while the last article detailing how many apps Windows Mobile seems to have stopped at 20K. Futhermore, the iPhone famously beaten Windows Mobile in reaching 25K apps, and I find it highly unlikely that Windows Mobile caught up.

Even from an outside perspective, though, it seems to me that the iPhone has an impressive number of apps, including a plethora of ones that Windows Mobile never seems to get (or is even capable of getting).

Well, the iPod Touch would make sense, but I would rather not have to carry two devices around. It seems better to me to have an all-in-one device in this case and, if nothing else, it would allow me to utilize the numerous phone-related apps in the app store.
[General Topics] stu-k:
Have to agree, I hate carry around two devices. Hence no longer use Ipod touch on the go, just leave it at home in docking station, which its good for.

Use the Jade for music and a phone which fits on my pocket.

I find the istore apps mostly gimmicks anyways, which you pay for and never use.

A smaller tougher Iphone would be good :D
[General Topics] 8525Smart:
Oh my God, yes, YES!

I can't count the number of times I had to defend WinMo against people who obviously never used it. The number of ridiculously comments I seen was ludicrous and often times seem as if the people saying it were just parroting common criticisms as opposed to their actual experience.

One guy I saw even suggested that receiving text/emails and switching between apps was impossible.

On the other hand, I agree with the rest of your post too (as is the subject of my topic). I think you really hit the nail on the head: Windows Mobile's biggest strength, its availability on multiple phones, is also its biggest weakness.

As an owner of a Fuze, an HTC phone with an accelerometer, the lack of accelero-meter WinMo apps makes it very apparent.

I do agree with you that Microsoft needs to do something, at the very least, about the user experience, but I really don't see how it can be done. The iPhone is able to achieve this because it is a software available on one hardware designed by Apple themselves. In order for Microsoft to achieve the same quality of apps or user experience, they would have to design Windows Mobile to take advantage of a particular hardware specification.

As of currently, the best Microsoft can probably achieve is to design Windows Mobile with the best optimization they can while maintaining good compatibility and appearance with a wide number of hardware.

That may be true, but to be fair, the Windows Mobile landscape isn't exactly clear of 'gimmicky' apps either. Some of them even inspired by iPhone equivalents.

HDWobble, anyone? :)

The 3GS is faster not because of the clock speed, but because the A8 Cortex beats the pants out of the (very long in the tooth) ARM11 in the TP (and TP2, why HTC, why?!!!).

[General Topics] jim_0068:
This is going to see as an odd first post but i am a jailbroken and unlocked iphone user. I have been tinkering with the iphone the way you guys tinker with winmo for 2 years now. To the original poster, if you are such a tinkerer and want to tinker with something new a jailbroken iphone is for you.

Some of THE BEST apps for the iphone are not in the apple app store because apple would never allow it.

I myself am starting to look at the TP2 and winmo phones because i was REALLLLLLLLLLLLY looking forward to the Nokia N97 and that thing just let me down a ton. I have a HTC Hero coming to play with for a while but besides the widgets i don't see a whole lot different between the new TF3D 2 on the TP2 or the TD2 and the Hero.

There are tons of useful 3rd party jailbroken apps and hacks that you can do that make the iphone even THAT much more useable. For instance the 3rd party text messaging applications are w/o question better than the stock apple version however because how they are designed they would never be approved for the app store. Also, there is a hack app called "backgrounder" which allows me to run apps in the background and multi task.
[General Topics] poetryrocksalot:
Holy crap are you talking about the iPhone? Is the backgrounder for the iPhone? Can I have more information on how this works?

Here is a more important question... will the backgrounder app allow 3rd party alarm applications to finally work on the iPhone?

Will the backgrounder also allow automatic profile scheduling?
[General Topics] crazy talk:
yes. but Backgrounder is not compatible with the new 3.0 OS.

and on the 3G you do not exactly have lots of Ram to spare though. only ~34MB after a reset. and applications are not exactly light weight.

i believe profile scheduling is available through other means. but have not really looked into it. Performance really takes a nose dive when you start asking it to do extra stuff due to the lack of Ram.
[General Topics] poetryrocksalot:
Oh that's a shame... this app is useless then. I heard that Apple is considering the idea of having full support for background applications.

The problem is that:

1) Apple knows that not many people care about "background" applications.

2) Consumer common sense is distorted in that they don't understand the purpose of multi-task. They believe that multi-task is already on the iPhone because obviously, you can "exit the application into another application". This isn't the point, a true multitasking system requires A) background applications B) automation of background functions and C) the ability to switch tasks in the foreground of an application.

3) Apple knows that adding background applications will result in people complaining of slowness because 1) Alot of people still don't know what RAM is, not even my sister who is a 4+ year college student working on her masters and 2) Alot of people do not know how to manage a platform involving background applications and 3) average consumers would rather sacrifice functionality for ease-of-use.

I believe the emphasis of this multi-tasking is not a multi-tasking complaint. Idiots are prone to think that the iPhone already has multi-tasking; I've seem them argue about it. We need to add a mentality to people in which they learn that it isn't about multi-tasking, it's about background applications and how we need applications to function in the background.
[General Topics] Aisorik:
Well the 3GS has double the ram and faster processor, hopefully they (third-parties) can find a way to make actual multi-tasking more plausible.

new beast in town

the android os is really taking shape and will soon be king. with so many different devices coming aboard this thing will be huge. the g1 now is awesome with just a little tweaking and those who don't want to tweak there are 2 more ota coming in the next 5 months.
[General Topics] 8525Smart:
Hmm, very informative read, Thank you,

So the 3GS apparently has a superior CPU in more ways than one, which I'm not really surprised about. I did mentioned that I did not like HTC's choice of CPUs...which they're still using in their newest devices. Many other devices are already using the Cortex A8, so if it is the case that HTC is losing out due to the CPU, then that doesn't bode well for their future phones.

Yes, everything you said is true. A jailbroken iPhone is a very nice thing and probably does well for tinkerers. In fact, the 3GS that my friend let me used was jailbroken too.

However, truthfully, installing apps that lets me do new things wasn't what I was really referring to before. Instead, I was largely referring to the changing of ROMs/OS. I believe the iPhone has made some progress running Linux, but nothing else as far as I can see. WM Phone has so many different ROMs available and progress has been made on running Linux (including Android) too. This allows for much more customization, in my opinion as you get the benefit of software-based customization combined with ROM/OS-based.

Besides, it's pretty fun to be running Windows Mobile 6.5 while everyone else is still using Windows Mobile 6.1. :D
[General Topics] vijay555:
Guys, rumours are the Pink/Zune Phone will be a Win 7 derived device based on hardware designed by Microsoft.

If they pull that off, as they say, "I'd buy that for a dollar".

[General Topics] atoz350:
My opinion is that in order to be a solid competitor, Microsoft needs to limit the hardware choices for their platform. HTC does a great job at making devices for Windows Mobile. Microsoft needs to pair up with them to make their own phone. With the new Zune HD coming out featuring the nVidia Tegra chipset, it would make a wonderful platform to build the next generation WM phone from. The thing is, it should be the only phone featuring WM 7 Professsional. It will enable Microsoft to fine tune WM to use every bit of the phone's capabilities, leaving nothing to be desired. Much like they do with their PC OS's, there can be several versions of the main OS with steps in capabilities. Their Zune HD phone should be the candidate for WM7 Ultimate, which would feature smooth transitions and speed.

Edit: Just saw the post above mine. I need to read more!
[General Topics] 8525Smart:
Rumors are a bit too little to get excited, in my opinion. The possibility of a true iPhone competitor by Microsoft sounds amazing, but it's a bit underwhelming at this point.

We have no knowledge of the OS, no knowledge of the important specs (CPU, RAM, multimedia capabilities, etc) aside from Tegra, and the little specs that is publicly available kind of sucks. 3.3in screen with 480x272 res? Call me picky, but I would have hoped for 3.5-3.7in with at least 640x480.

Still, I have not followed the news of the Zune HD, and it does, indeed, look pretty amazing. The Os does at least. The Zune HD's OS appears to work amazingly well; It is incredibly fast and smooth.
[General Topics] poetryrocksalot:
I really think the only company that can actually create a truly direct competitor to Apple and iPhone is Microsoft...it's the name and not the product.....

Apple had a bad rep back then and now they are doing good.

It seems like Microsoft is tagged after Apple jumped the boat to success.

We'll just have to wait for Microsoft to adopt Apple's precedent.

With Microsoft directly creating their own phone and not just an OS, we might actually get a true iPhone killer. Though Microsoft may have to revamp the entire OS and create their own line of OS totally unrelated to Windows Mobile.

a program in this way will be realy nice.

something like a vnc-server tunneling by usb wich will show the homescreen on the PC-Monitor.

I've noticed some 6.5 ROMs have the titanium menu scrollable with the sensor wheel, while others do not.

Is this inherent to the SensorScroll application or something else? If it is SensorScroll then can someone inform me what .exe I need to add to the configuration to get this working?
