igo 8

right igo use only 2 - 4 gigs sd.

it seems he use a cracked version....:mad:

I ran TT7 and Navigon when I was over in the US a couple of months ago. Both did a good job (although I have lag on every GPS program it would seem :( )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rob_p:
I see there's an option there for traffic, does this download using your data connection, or is it another one that needs an external TMC receiver?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rob_p:
I think if you email them you can get a 7 day trial. I've just emailed so will let you know!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rob_p:
Yeah, email them at either support or sales @ navmii.com and ask for a trial key for the TP2.

Steady on! I used Igo on an 8gb card and it was not cracked. I bought it on their crappy 2gb card and a simple lift and shift does the rest. All working fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] RogerStenning:
Hmm... they need to fix their webby, then, if it's giving conflicting prices - kinda pronto, imho, before someone dings them with the Sale Of Goods act over here and they wind up loosing money!

OK, thanks :)

Cool :) Nice to see confirmation so quick :) I'll bear in mind the info for when I'm done with the Navigon testing :)

A "simple lift and shift" means exactly what, copy and paste, side-by-side Explorer windows transfer, specialist software involved?:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Flying Low:
Hi all, if you want Co-Pilot at the 26 qid price, I think you have to go to ALK via the HTC site, it is a special price for the TP2. Thats how I got mine. Having said that, it's rubbish! The routing is very poor and you can't shut the voice up without turning the volume off globally. Navigon seems much better and you can shut her up when you ae fed up with being told where to go, but, imho, its not as good as TT, and as others have said, start up and shut down takes an age. I have TT6 on my TyTn II but it is in the ROM so I can't transfer it, and anyway it probably will not work with the screen resolution of the TP2. Like many others, I'm pretty hacked off with the policies of the TT crew and I don't want to be stuck with a 2 gig card. I'm not spending any more cash on products I can't try before I buy. Maybe I'll just use my old TyTn II for sat nav!

Rant over!

I'm using Garmin atm..seems pretty good but it doesn't speak the street names which can become important. You have to read the display to see where it's telling you to go.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] quarintus:
Ok, I installed Copilot and comparing to tomtom it was not so good. Much sloppier, and the dutch voice is just terrible.

But now the worst part, I can't get it uninstalled.

I did a couple of hard resets now, (I did delete all files on the storagecard that has something to do with copilot) and after every hard reset it's still there!

So I'm guessing, maybe the installation has overwritten the ROM HTC provided? I'm now going to try and update my device with a "new" rom hoping it will overwite the old.

Really nasty thing to install it like that, it's just rude. No more copilot for me
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Ramsfan_Jim:
This is EXACTLY what I'm doing. I used TT6 for 2 years with no problems - using traffic & speed camera updates every day, but got increasingly frustrated that the maps were out of date and that TT would not sell me new ones.

I tried various trials and options from other manufacturers, but couldn't find one which would give me up-to-date maps, usable on my 16gb card, with Traffic & speed camera alerts.

Eventually when TT7 was officially released I bought it and installed - only to find a miriad of problems (regular crashes & hang-ups, voice commands cutting off etc.). I actually invested in a Touch Pro 2 largely because the Kaiser no longer seemed stable after installing TT7.

Of course I then find TT7 won't install on the TP2 (yet) although my supplier has confirmed they will send me a compatible version as soon as its released (as I bought both TT7 & the TP2 from the same supplier).

In the meantime I am using TT7 on the original purchased card (not the 16gb card on TT advice) on the old Kaiser purely as a sat nav. I still get regular crashes, although it is slightly more stable when charged from the cigar lighter (it hangs, then recovers rather than crashing the device altogether). TomTom has stopped responding to my support logs.

I can't wait for a stable sat nav solution for the TP2 if anyone has any advice....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Ramsfan_Jim:
Having looked around, ALK Co-Pilot Live 8 looks good - and got good reviews.

I therefore phoned ALK to check prices etc....

They said Co-Pilot Live 8 is NOT compatible with the Touch Pro 2 (due to ROM issues apparently), and they don't know when it will be. Traffic alerts are also not available at present.

Stuck with TomTom for a bit longer then....:(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rob_p:
Navmii seems very good - got a trial at the moment. The only problem I have is lag, but that's the same on all software with my phone, so it's going in tomorrow for repair.

Give Navmii a go - the other bonus is they have a forum where you can interact with the developers, so any big problems you come across, they will try to help out, and should get quick attention in terms of a fix in the next release...

Have to say, lag apart, I've not had any problems with TT7 crashing etc... on my TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Ramsfan_Jim:
I've had a look at the website - how do you get traffic updates with Navmii?

I expect TT7 to work fine on my TP2 - as soon as they release a compatible version. Currently when I load the cab or the SD card it came on, it won't install. Do I take it you have a 'different' copy? ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] samstables:
Yep. I also tried Navigon - 30-day trial was great as I'm not on the road every day so it actually gave me enough time to really use it. But frankly after using TomTom since v5, I really didn't get on with it because of the not very finger friendly interface, I couldn't find where to put in exact house numbers and got so annoyed at just how long you have to sit around before you can go anywhere!! I even had a few people coming to ask me if I was OK, as I was sat in the car going nowhere for so long....

Anyway, I'm going to purchase TomTom7 from Handtec on the 2gb card and see if it works ok for me. At the least I know it will work for sure on hubby's Touch HD, if I fail :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Ramsfan_Jim:
It's not compatible with TP2 yet - won't install. (I already bought it from Handtec).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rob_p:
I've got a copy of the exe that doesn't check the phone type and so will run ok.

As for Navmii, they don't currently have traffic updates, but will do in their next version which they say will be out this year.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] xdadJeroen:
- Does all this software use the internet from your mobile?? because google maps does i think..

- Is there pre-installed gps-software on my tp 2 that i can use abroad without having to pay for the internet..

Spankyou
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Orphee:
I'm not sure to understand, do you all say tha Tomtom does not work with TP2 ?

Because mine work very well ! Absolutly no issue with it.

French Touch Pro 2 with Tomtom 7.915.9196 with integrated antenna.

Do I miss something ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] RogerStenning:
OK, there are a few packages out there that load their maps from the internet, and googlemaps is one of those. TomTom, CoPilot, Navigon, and so on, use maps copied to the devices' own storage, so do not need to download fresh mapping every time you use the packages: This preserves your available mobile bandwidth allotment.

There is not, I regret to say, pre-installed GPS software on your TP2 that includes stored mapping - you get Google maps pre-installed, as did the rest of us, but you have to download fresh maps every time you use it.

Hope that clears up any confusion over there :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] samstables:
I think the point is that you can't actually BUY a current version of TomTom that works on the TP2...

As others have said, you can buy Tomtom 7 on micro SD (from TomTom and other outlets) but the TP2 is not yet supported and so it doesn't work. There is something that stops it even beginning to install as it identifies the device as incompatible up front.

Clearly other versions are available that have come from other devices. EG I have v7.45 from an old HTC Diamond but those maps are "locked" to that device and so I can't use them on the TP2. I also have a genuine copy of Tomtom6 as well but Tomtom, in their desperation to protect their software, don't let you change devices more than once every 6 months so it's also locked to a different device for another few weeks...

So, if you have it working, think yourself lucky. Some of us are still trying to find a way that doesn't involve cracks and warez :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] xdadJeroen:

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] mellojoe:
When I take a picture with my Samsung JACK (WinMo 6.1), it saves it to the memory card. Which is great. However, it saves it to "My Pictures".

The sliding panel for Photos only displays pictures from the "Pictures" folder on the memory card.

Has anyone figured out how to either

#1) Set the camera to automatically save to the "Pictures" folder instead of "My Pictures" on the memory card.

OR

#2) Set the sliding panel to read pictures from the "My Pictures" folder.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Table83:
I have a request: The standard WM 6.5 Lock is beautiful except for the fact that it requires a password. I just want to lock the device, not to password it! How do I do it? Can someone at least point me in the right direction? I can't be the only Joe here who has wanted this fix. Has it been fixed already?

I'm using NFSFAN's 6.5 21728 V13 GENERIC CARRIER ROM. (and love it I may add)

So I want this:

And not this:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
Just remove password -> Start -> Settings -> Lock -> Uncheck ''Promt if phone unused for''
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Table83:
I know I'm no expert but that is exactly the dilemma. I do as you note, and uncheck, "Prompt if phone is unused for" there is no lock at all.

When the power button is hit accidently in my pocket there is no screen lock which I don't like. When I try to enable the lock without a password I get the message:

Password Error - Please anter another password. The password must be at least 4 characters and not contain a simple sequence (e.g. 111 or 1234)"

Think of the Iphone. Hit power button, Slide to unlock, takes you to the home screen. Thats what I want with the standard windows lock system. Am I making sense?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frymaster.127:
the error on the phone is not entirely clear - it says drivers are on the SD card. According to HTC support, they are embedded in the HTCSync app, which I thought was just for Outlook syncing. Put it back into USB card mode, run the htcsync setup from the SD card, and try again

it worked for me in vista (i'd already installed the htcsync app on that machine so I don't know if the drivers were already part of vista or if the app installed them)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ilmehtar:
On my UK T-mobile HTC Hero I can confirm that the 'Tethering' option is there in Wireless>Settings, buried at the bottom as 'Mobile Network sharing'

It appears to work when you have the HTC Sync software installed on Windows, as described...

Now here's the £1million question.. anyone have any idea how to get a Tether enabled Hero to talk to Linux? :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frymaster.127:
the windows drivers from htcsync are in the SDK

perhaps there are some linux ones in there also?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbrickwedde:
Just tested with gentoo, works with the normal rndis driver compiled in!

Thats perfect !

So I think it should work "out of the box" with the most Linux Distributions.

Just plugv in, and do an dhcp request on usb0 or usb1
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ilmehtar:
yeah... <blush> I just tried this on my openSUSE 11.1 laptop and it worked strait away as USB0, no drivers, no installation, no problem....

I really should have tried it before posting!

And yet another bit of hardware that works more easily with Linux than Windows! ;-)

Interestingly, the Tethering isn't limited to the 'Mobile Networking' (aka 3G/HSDPA) connection.

If you have Wifi configured on your Hero, that is the connection the Tether will use, pretty nice if you want to Wifi-enable any device and save on your data limits.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frymaster.127:
yeah... when I was testing I got rather confused briefly as to why my computer still had its usual internet IP even though I'd disabled its network card :D (because it was connecting to the router via the phone's wireless)

slightly puzzingly, disabling mobile data disables the tethering option (even if it's going to end up using the wireless anyway). i'm sure there'll be someone with that specific use-case. But it's not me, so I'm happy :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesking420:
Hi everyone,

New to the forum... My Hero's on it's way so I've been reading about rooting, etc, on this great forum I found :). Never had an HTC before so not sure I really know what rooting is, but I'll soon give it a go and bust the phone or end up being able to do bluetooth file transfer! :)

Now to my question! I have my email all through my own domain, but run by/hosted by Google using google apps.

So I use a Googlemail webmail interface to collect my emails, but access it through mail.mydomain.com and get emails to me@mydomain.com . My calendar works similarly.

Will this work with all the built in functionality of the Hero that ties in to Gmail accounts? Do I need to do a hack to do this, or will it work out of the box?

Thanks,

James

I use apps for domains too. Works perfectly except for buying software from the Market - had to open another account for that annoyingly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesking420:
Well, I've just recieved my Hero, and under my Google account, I entered my Google apps details, eg,

james@mydomain.com and my relevant password. No luck :( It didn't recognise it. Off to do a bit of googling on the subject now, but any help on how to get it to sync with a Google Apps for Domains account greatly appreciated...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I can definitely guarantee you that it works. I use my domain with Google Apps for Domains, and the only thing that didn't work was paid apps on the market - even then, it knew that this was because I had an apps account and it asked me for a "normal" gmail account and would allow me to buy apps.

I suggest a full reset may be in order.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesking420:
Cheers :)

I just tried a hard reset and this time it worked when I entered the details as I booted up :)

Not sure if it's relevant but this is the "brown" HTV Hero from www.mobiles.co.uk

Loving the phone so far, really pleased it works with domains as that would have been a deal breaker!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meatmaker:
Did I understand right, that the Hero asked for a normal gMail-Account in addition to the gApps-Account, if you want to buy software from the marketplace?

Or do I have to completely change to a normal gMail-Account if I want to buy something?

I'd like to keep my gApps-Account and have no problem to open an additinal gMail-Acc just for Marketplace.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Yes, this is correct. You still sign into the market using your gApps-Account, but you can't link a credit card to that account in the Market. In this case, all it does is asks you to authenticate yourself with a regular gMail account when checking out - all your apps are still linked in the Market to your regular gApps account.

Hello everyone,

I'm skinning my keyboard and so for it looks good IMO, but I want to change the fonts.

Here is the photoshop PSD I made:

This is what is how it looks on the phone:

I want the upper light grey row(with 1, 2, 3 @, etc) to be entirely removed or invisible and the black text should move up some pixels and preferrably be in bold instead of regular.

The thing I want most is the upper grey row with alternative symbols removed, then I can edit my images to place them under the black qwerty.

I know how to edit the XML's but I have no idea where the data is stored and after which byte sequence.

I hope someone can enlighten me on this (ohsaka?).

Hi,

Thinking of buying a hero...

Is it possible to play full size movie AVIs (700Mb, etc) without lag, without having to resize them to a smaller resolution?

I find that resizing them is such a hassle. Currently using a touch dual, and when that was initially released I couldnt play it unless resized. Felt pretty ripped off. Only when upgrade to wm6.5 came out, I could play em. My old HTC Magician handled them much better.

Anyway... just wanted to ask if anyone has tried it... before I buy another dud phone.

Thanks!

Surely I can't be the only person who cares about watching movies on my phone while travelling?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhedgehog:

not tried anything on the hero yet, as i only got mine yesterday, and wasn't goping to buy any apps for the one i borrowed from work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volker1:
AVI is a container and not a codec.

Like all mobile devices (correct me if I'm wrong), there is no h264 b-frame support. Transcoding is your friend. How hard is it to transcode all movies in a directory; Thats just one command line away, geez.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soggybiscuit:
yeah its just one more thing needed to do.

each to their own i guess... but I'm the sort of person who likes to take as little steps / effort as possible to do something. ie searching for a contact and calling them... i'd like to know that I can call them with a few keypresses and done... rather than having to search through a whole list of names and finding the contact.

Also, I prefer to be able to keep files in the format I got them so I can transfer them to another machine if I need to, rather than have a resized file that is only of use to the phone.

Not too sure about the terminology (h264 b frame support) you used, but I had no trouble playing full sized rips on my HTC Magician from 5 years ago. But had trouble with the HTC Nike initially until one year later when I upgraded it to WM6.1.

Anyway, if anyone has had the chance to try it out... let me know thanks =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barryallott:
I have resized and played on the hero with no issues. I have seen that in a review that it could skip if not resized. I would resize to the heros resolution

It might work better if the aspect ratio is the same, but by the time you do that you could be resizing.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snafle:
Second for handbrake. As far as I can tell from my testing, it doesn't like DivX files. It does like MP4 files, with meridian especially. A two hour file took about 20 minutes to transcode straight to the Hero, on my not-particularly amazing tri-core 3ghz phenom. Quality was excellent.

I'd say queue up a list in Handbrake and leave it running overnight.

I used to use fullsize avi's on my diamond but as yet I've not found a decent player on android so I've made the switch to converting to avi's at a fairly large picture size (I forget the exact ratio) & it plays fine in the native video player.
