anyone know of any winmob business card scanner software that actually works?

Business Card Scanner

World Card Mobile.

Works amazingly well! But you need autofocus AFAIK.

Yeah, what he said. It does work, but really depends on the quality of the card being read.

The software could do with a bit of dedvelopment though.

Hi,

I am thinking of getting a Hero but the only thing stopping me is the OS. I really, really, really, prefer WM, is there any WM6.1 builds compatible for the Hero.

If not looks like i'll be getting the Toshiba TG01 for this years upgrade!

Hi all

on the htc dream web site it says that the dream has a Digital compass and motion sensor ..

where do we find these on the phone??

I cant see them
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] himu007:
Hiya

You can't see them. But you can use them. Download "Compass" from market and then you can use/see the compass.

Research on how they work by urself.

;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr wyngaard:
i cant dont have market:(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rinja:
then look up for a APK file of Compass and ADB install it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
You can also find some .apks on the net.

To see the motion sensor in action, you can download "Bubble"

Its a level

You can also turn on auto-rotation in settings to use the accelerometer (motion sensor)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr wyngaard:
thank you for all the help guys

i think the problem is that i have android 1.1 thats why there is nothing under settings for auto-rotation.

how do you install files after downloading them off the net
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
set up adb if you havent already (guide is posted as stickies and you can search for them as well)

then just

adb install C:\appname.apk

where C:\appname.apk is the full path to the application

You can also upgrade to cupcake w/ the available updates online
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr wyngaard:
can you do the upgrade with out rooting your phone
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Update to 'Cupcake' 1.5? Of Course! You should have received the over-the-air (OTA) update by now :-S

But anyway, what do you mean you don't have the market?
[General Topics] Jerseyman:
I have just about come to the end of my tether in trying to work with HTC support in order to get my HTC X7501 repaired.

After 9 call to the "Support Centre", 3 e. mail support tickets raised (One of them involving 9 message pairs) trying to clarify charges related to the repairs, I have just received the device back unrepaired because "after 21 days we have received no communication from you".

They have consistantly ignored my requests for the name and contact details of the person responsible for customer relations in the UK.

Can anyone suggest who I should be contacting?

There is no way, ever again, that I am going near an HTC device despite the fact that I have been using them for 5 years.

how old is the device? You may be covered under consumer rights.

Also, you should google the MD of the company and email them directly... honestly! I've now done this successfully with Sky and Expansys and had contact from both....

Thanks for the quick reply Monty, I'm in Jersey so I'm a bit short of the Consumer Rights here.

So, I can't find any test information on the read/write speeds of the Hero, only the G1 - or are we saying they are the same?

Also, there seems to be a lot of variation between the speeds of cards of the same class - so I'm actually more confused now than I was before about which one to buy.

Thoughts are a 'fast' 8Gb for now, then a 16/32Gb Class 6 when they are available and less expensive, or a class 2 16Gb now - maybe from Sandisk as these seem to perform well.

Right guys, my quest for a case is still on.

I have decided to go for a leathery feel half shell type case.

The only problem is that all the half shell ones I look at dont protect the framing around the screen too well, especially the bottom.

Does anyone here know of a nice slim case that basically covers the phone as comprehensivley as a silicone cover does but is obviously leather(ette).

Guys I really appreciate your help.
[Touch HD Accessories] Digital Outcast:
I have never really found one that provides as much protection as a rubber/silicon one. I've tried this one out and it was ok but it didn't cover as much as I wanted.

Let us know if you find anything!
[Touch HD Accessories] salv90:
yes that case seems to give plenty of protection but it is too bulky. I may be resigned to getting a silicone one .

does anyone know of any that aren't too sticky and slim that can easily go in and out of pockets.

Hey. Ebay items, especially at $5 tend to be risky however the video does kinda entice you. Did you order a black one? If you click on the choose colors, they are $1 more.

Hi there,

N00b Alert!

Im new to cooking and have a few queries:

Im cooking using the TPC kitchen with the 23004 SYS + XIP

1. how do you customize the size of the startmenu icons, they seem large and the lines on the folders are not straight, they are blocky. and another Q? for this is how do you change the icon??

2. how do I turn off that really annoying sliding sound, ive tried a couple of the registry modification packages that Alex supplies and also ive copied the settings from a 6.5 with the sliding sound turned off, but neither has worked.

Also I have a couple of start menu folders to remove, but I believe I can sort that with a .provxml file, is that the best way?

question #1 is probably the most important for me, as i dont like the "De-antialiased" effect the icons have!

I've been few a few tutorials on cooking but none seems to please my customisation requirements.

I've also searched like mad on the forums to the answer to the above ones and I cant find it.

Thanks in advance,

Dan
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ai6908:
You should have asked this in the kitchen thread..but here it goes...

search for start menu layout...like 4row hexagon and stuff like that...u will see different cab files to choose from. Its a cpr file that has the layout of start menu.

You can remove folders by editing initflashfiles. Although your folder link can be in ext folder as well in app.dat files. Search in both areas.

Sliding sound should be in OEM folder, look under either OEMAPPS, or OEMDRIVES. Edit the rgu file in there to disable it.

Hi. I have a Voda branded TP2.

I have installed the 1% battery indicator and have realised that the battery is dropping at an alarming rate. In two hours without any data activity, just two calls of 5 mins each and the battery has already reached 74%. The number drops in front of my eyes. Quite scary actually.

Anybody else faced a similar porblem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Curehead:
2 things I can advice you (as a TP2 beginner)

-First times: charge up to 12 hours non-stop even when light is green (has nothing to do with phone but with the chemical proces inyour battery) this will prolong lifetime

-This TP2 WWE ROM has a lot (and I mean A LOT!) of background running stuff compared to other WM 6.1 - ROMS. So you thing it is not using any current but it is!

Maybe you could install advance task manager and check out all running programs and processes ...

hope this helps ...

Had a strange one last night. Went to be, put the phone on charge (was about 16% iirc), and the orange light came on to say it was charging. Then, this morning at about 3am, I hear the phone making bleeps. Check it out, and it's at 5%, with orange light flashing. Take out charger, put it back in, and it starts charging. I went out afterwards, came back about 4.30, and it says it was about 80% complete. Go sleep, wake up about 7.30am, and it's fully charged (green light). Then, I unplug charger, turn on, and it says 96%, and I notice it dropping the amount of charge in front of me (like OP's notice), until it got to about 91%.

Now, about 5 hours later, it reckons the charge is 74%. So dunno why it went down so quickly, and why it didn't actually charge... But will keep my eye on it and see how it goes...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Curehead:
data connection

Another way 2 keep your eye on it: check data connection (start>settings>connections>comm manager) a lot of stuff open this connection which uses power. if it turns on without you knowing .... (especially auto-update plugins (weather?)), sometimes AS also ...

To be honest, I had to hard reset my device couple of times and haven't had time to 'fully' recharge it after the resets.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Curehead:
Hi HaveryR and others,

yep your source isn't to bad. Beginning with full charges (6 to 12 hrs instead of 3 like the manual says) isn't about the old charge-memory story (because Lithium-Ion battery don't work this way, only the nickel-cadmium and nimH do) but about fully charging cells.

I mean the best way to look upon this is like a pile of bricks on top of each other (all different cells if you wish). So the first time it is important to give all the bricks enough time to charge - so even when it says 100% it does not mean that it has (you're indicator is a feedback of a reading by your cpu). So not all the bricks (let's say) have the same quality (yesyes even in this day and age of hight teck).

So you can also take this parallel to discharging: if you discharge fully, you risk that one of these bricks get busted and so will NEVER recover.

So i agree on this with your source a LiOn batter is bettery served with frequent partial charging and must NEVER be drained completely

Greetz,
