[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] lakeman:
I think you are probably right.

These phones are getting a bit old now so a drop or 2 could conceivably damage the drive.

There were a few people early on who had isssues and basically did as you do and use the sd card instead.

Have you flashed a non standard rom ?

If you were keen , this could be an option.

My microdrive went missing and corrupted the info once but I was able to reformat it.

Did you try using USB to PC( sorry if you already mentioned doing this)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] nor11wan:
Hi here lakeman,thanks for all your help,I do not have the technical sksill to flash the rom

as for now I can carry on using the unit for my simple needs ie reading e-book,view comic,

listening to audio-bk some family photos,and a simply game of "GO"all these can be

accommodated in my 4GB card

tks again

btw is this the reason and season for a new unit!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] lakeman:
You should try to learn how to flash as the orignal roms are quite old now.

some of the programs are quite improved and you might like to use stuff lke real vga to use the large screen area.

I bought a touch hd about 11 mths ago and I stll lke to use the athena for browsng and textng because of its size.

the new hd wth a 4.3 inch screen sounds lke the bomb but i need to wat for my wfe to need a new phone first.

Why dont you read my begnners guide to flashing in the WM6 section and have a go at unlocking?

ps sorry my "i" key keeps sticking:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] nor11wan:
Hi there lakeman,thanks for all your help,yes I will take up your suggestion and

learn how to flash a new rom,been on to wiki section and other chapters on this

my unit is using AP 4 platinum dd 11-09-07 (its quite dated)

tks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] lakeman:
Hi

having ap4 should mean that you can flash other roms.

Just check your spl to make sure it is spl 3.5 and then you can flash any spl 3.5 roms which is all of the recent ones

make sure it is the right spl before you flash as although you can recover the phone, it causes you some stress

Thanks to maranello's HDWall application at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3616825, I had managed to create two Manila Touchflo 3D Themes (version 2.1 Touchflo 3D) to share with you guys and gals.

The same background is in all the tabs. Hope you will like it. Here's the link:

I have also included the matching background for your Today (Titanium plugin) and Start Menu background.

Hope you will like it.

1. Disable Manila Touchflo 3D

2. Download the theme zip file you want

3. Copy the jpg files to your \Windows directory

4. Run the CleanReg_Manila_Background.mscr

5. Run the cab file (boats_M21.cap or sunsetM21OT.cab)

6. Soft Reset your device.

7. Enable Manila Touchflo 3D

Enjoy!

[Shift General] lucid:
This is not an advert, this is just to tell people who accidentally missed

the

READYBOOST - PREFETCH - SUPERFETCH feature in Vista/W7

I've been working with this feature since the release of Vista, it really helps, and it certainly does on the Shift.

Basicly, you reserve a part of your SD card (4GB) as an extra

"cachefile" (It's all done by the OS) and for all small random I/O

your Shift will now read from that part.

It get's faster over time.

Check out this blog :

http://blogs.msdn.com/tomarcher/archive/2006/06/02/615199.aspx

and

http://blogs.msdn.com/saveenr/archive/2009/05/02/monitoring-readyboost-on-windows-7.aspx

So get your FAST SD card, right click on it, use it "to speed up your system" and improve your speed.

From hibernation to fully working in 18 seconds !
[Shift General] zohaer21:
anyway to make this happen on XP ???
[Shift General] shawankit:
yes

yes possible inxp

go to virtual memory settings in xp....

on virtal memory / page file remove all hdd etc and set them to zero page file.

now select your sd card and select it as virtual memory or page file and nowxselect let windows manage page file/virtual memory on sd card.

apply and ok .

the key idea is to hvae all virtual memory on sd card and none on hdd...i have been doing this for many years.

more instruction on browsing to virtual memory settings/ page file on xp below

To manually change the size of virtual memory, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl in the Open box, and then press ENTER.

2. Click the Advanced tab, and then under Performance click Settings.

3. Click the Advanced tab, and then under Virtual memory click Change.

4. Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file that you want to change.

5. Under Paging file size for selected drive, click Custom size, type a new paging file size in megabytes (MB) in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set.

6. Click OK to close the dialog box and apply changes.

Note After you change the size of the paging file, you may be prompted to restart Windows. If you are prompted to restart, the changes will not take effect until Windows is restarted.
[Shift General] alvinjue:
will this work on other umpcs besides the shift? im thinking about doing this with all my umpcs. haha let me know. thanks!
[Shift General] shawankit:
yes

yes it will work on any windows pc or laptop, just follow the instructions for vista or xp as appropriate
[Shift General] LordDeath:
I tried ReadyBoost and Superfetch on my Shift and monitored the memory usage with the Process Explorer:

These two services need additional 100MiB of physical memory. So to have a SD cache with a speed of ~5-10 mb/s you give up 10% of you RAM. Bad exchange!

As long as the Shift's 1GiB memory is not fully used the device feels a bit smoother. But as soon as you reach the limits and it starts to swap your performance will drop even more than without these both services.

ReadyBoost and Superfetch are making the Shift faster - and also slower when you really need the performance.
[Shift General] shawankit:
dont use ready boost or super fetch services of vista, use the xp trick for virtual m

dont use ready boost or super fetch services of vista, use the xp trick for virtual memory as outlined on my earlier post for vista as well.

remember the key forspeedup is to decrease the read/write from hdd during mem paging process, hence if all paging memory is allocated to sd (which is faster to hdd) and noe allocated to hdd, the os will work faster...this goes for all os xp,vista,w2k,wserver2005...and same for linux or osxor unix..

You have got to admit he is right, when I didnt know which damn phone I wanted to buy (d2, hero, omnia pro, tp2 etc etc) I seriously considered the iPhone 3GS but having played around with it the only two things that stood out were the price of the thing and the app store and how easy it was to download apps (it was like the Xbox 360 marketplace!), the interface was pretty boring now (but back in 2007 when I first tried it I was like wow wow this is so cool!)

If Apple dont do something soon, they are going to lose out, in Europe I think HTC has began outselling Apple devices (with Nokia first) and now with Google Android devices I think they have some serious, if not overwhelming competition!

HTC all the way!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
Apple has a built-in audience of macophiles, and on top of that, for the last 2 years they've also owned the OMG! SHINY! audience. The Shinies can't be held on to (nothing can be the shiny new thing forever) and the macophiles can't be lost. It's an interesting mix to carry.

I'm not sure there's anything they really can do to stay

dominant

(multitasking, UI overhaul, etc might be nice, but probably not going to really breathe life into the iPhone like the iPhone breathed into smartphones at launch). But they aren't going anywhere. They'll (eventually) come off an unsustainable high, find a plateau and then be a fixture.

I've never been a fan, and I've never owned an Apple product, but I'm impressed they flew as high as they did for as long as they did.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
well you can fool people sometimes but you can't fool all the people all of the time! thats my quote of the day for apple. when iphone came out it without a doubt revolutionary. now the shine is quickly wearing off........... the whole platform, the way apple servers control everything and the way the have a hand in all that you do with your own bloody handset!

the latest blunder ........... Iphone 3GS 'they think you are the same'. thats the take off line on the advert ............ i say yes you are the same with a few extra apps which are widely available in the app store and for free on cydia/icy! yes folks it is a scam. there is no difference between the iphone 3G and 3GS. the camera is 3.2(not) - just been tweaked to take higher res photos and of course 16 and 32gb models only........... everything apple claim new about 3GS you can freely add to 3G model! they pulled out all the stops with creating the original iphone and alas it seems there is no room for going forward!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aegeuss:
Hi all,

Last evening I was playing with my device at home for its video recording capabilities when it suddenly started to rain outside. So I wanted to shoot some video for test purposes in vga format and to see how it did.

You can find this small clip on: http://rapidshare.com/files/251776461/VIDEO_002.mp4.html This is a 3.5 mb file with 36 sec. footage.

During recording something interesting happened; when I turned the camera from left to right, the device reduced the brightness of the footage to almost dark as if that part was so sunny; which resulted a crappy video. But when I turned the camera to left from right the brightness would come back again. I believe this is a sign of buggy driver.

For your information, Contrast is +4, Saturation is +4 and Sharpness is +3. Effect - none, metering mode - center area, flicker adjustment - auto, capture format - mpeg4.

Please note that I did not put my finger on any sensor on the device during recording.

Just see the video to understand what I mean :)) Any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PumpAction:
LOL!!! XDXDXDXDXD

SORRY!!! :D:D:D hahaha

It's called PHYSICS :D When you point your phone camera to the shiny clouds, it will adjust the colors lool

Imagine yourself looking into the sun. Won't you close your eyes to prevent that too much light enters your eyes ? ;)

It's the same with the camera, it's not a bug. It's just adjusting to the picture. If point the camera into a dark room, you'll see that everything gets brighter and if you point it at light, everything will get darker :)

btw, is it possible that you're from turkey?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aegeuss:
LOL!!! XDXDXDXDXD

SORRY!!! hahaha

It's called WRONG ANSWER. There's no sun in the sky and I point my camera to the houses which cover at least 80% of the view; it is 19.00 o'clock at evening, it's not shiny; but because of buggy software the device reduces all the brightness so you can not see or record anything at the end!

Btw, I am from Ankara, Turkey.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] R_phAn:
I do think mr PumpAction has a valid point (besides acting a bit like a 10 year old). I also think the camera tends to 'darken up' a bit too much whenever there is a high contrast scenario. In your case: the sky vs the ground. It may not be sunny, but the sky is bright white - thus the camera tries to compensate - and unfortunately overcompensates turning the city into a dark black.

You may want to try to alter the 'measuring mode'. I'm not exactly sure what the translation is in English (or Turkish for that matter) as I have a Dutch model of the tp2.

Anyway: get into the camera application, choose Video mode, then go into the Settings, hit the ícon 'advanced', then get to page 3/4 and select "measure/exposure mode". In my case it's the 3rd option on page 3. I can set it to "average" or "middle area". This may help. Then again, it may not.

Good luck =)

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ASK768:
It shouldnt be too hard, with the 2 devices having similar resolutions, but i cant help but think this is of limited use. How are you supposed to select something under the dpad?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] borce_razor:
Hmm, I had no idea :( Maybe it have bring to front/back options :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] konidair:
i think you can hide the pad just like any other virtual keyboard.

of course, you use the pad when you need d-pad functions(games etc) and not when you need to select something on the screen(in that case you don't need a d-pad, no?).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gil@spoontools.com:
They stole my idea!

Hey!

I was thinking about this idea few months ago while testing the Touch HD.

I love the HD but sometimes you just need to use a D-Pad, and with the HD you must open the keyboard for that.

Of course, opening the keyboard hides half of the screen so it is not the best idea.

I wanted to develop a virtual D-Pad, one that pops up as a result of some kind of a hardware button.

My only problem was to hack down those arrows commands. I know how to develop all the rest (sticky floating panel).

If someone could help with with how to programically control the arrows - I will be able to create the user interface for the virtual D-Pad.

(Or maybe someone will just port the Toshiba one and that's all... :))
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ypsmav:
The best option would be to try to extract the Dpad Toshiba software from the original TG01 Rom. This shall be easy for the Rom chefs.

I think this application would be really useful.

Update:

I've found that the virtual D-Pad application called Flexipad. great video on http://www.theunwired.net/?item=videoview-toshiba-tg01-windows-phone-software-hands-on

I Hope that someone can extract the application from the ROM of the TG01 as it would be awsome on the Blackstone.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Animaster:
D-Pad TG01

The D-Pad works different from the standard Input Methods.

You can move it all over the screen as you like and it´s Semi-transparent, so that you can even see what´s under it. And you can switch between D-Pad Mode and Touchpad inkl. Mouse-Pointer...

Pretty Nice actually...

(disadvantage: to little display of fonts. but its amazing in terms of style i.e. karaoke, it can show the words that is being dictated.)

smart lyrics and mini lyrics got each advantage but both arent upto level.

at least according to me.

smart lyrics you need to open new window and apart from that it will not focus on word which is being dictated.

mini lyrics as said before to little fonts.

i would like suggestion if i am wrong and i need to tweak setting somewhere.

i got i phone aswell though i love htc touch hd this is one of the application iphone got better.
