[General Questions and Answers] Shasarak:
Hi there. I have some questions about the capabilities of the Touch Pro 2 when it comes to display colour depth and video playback. I apologise for the painfully newbie-ish nature of these questions. :o

The TP2 is always listed as supporting "65k colours" only - it's a Windows Mobile 6.1 device, after all. However, I've read that it's upgradeable to WM 6.5. Does WM 6.5 permit colour depths beyond 16-bit?

I've also read that it is possible for an app like a video player to get around the 16-bit colour limitation in WM6.1 by using DirectDraw overlays. Is this correct?

And finally, if either of the above methods (overlays or WM 6.5) can potentially give access to colour depths beyond 16-bit, is the TP2 capable of supporting this, or are there limitations (in the hardware, the drivers, or the TFT panel) which prevent it? And, if it can do it, what's the maximum physical colour depth the device can achieve under those circumstances?

Edit: oh, and if the overlays thing does work, which video player apps support the use of overlays?
[General Questions and Answers] n5bail:
Bump, I'd also like to know this. I am assuming it is only capable of 65k though.

Hi all,

Ive been thinking about getting the Touch Pro 2 for quite a while now, but then rumors appeared that Telus and Verizon versions will have a 3.5mm port on it seperately.

Now before i buy the Touch Pro 2 here in Germany, i was wondering what you guys think. Will the Touch Pro 2 with 3.5mm port ever be sold in Europe?

I'd even be happy with importing it IF it is unbranded (Hardware wise, ROM wise i can use HardSPL, which will be out by then :) )

Looks like it will be for the U.S market only.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] guest7789:
I was curious about this myself, so I emailed HTC and this is what they said:

"There are no plans to do this that we are aware of.

It is possible, but nothing has been said about it.

best regards,

The "it is possible" bit gives me some hope, but not much.

I don't know if I should get a Diamond 2(Topaz).You know that WM7 is very soon which won't work on D2 becoz of the screen.Should I get a D2 now or wait for WM7 phones?Plz give me some suggestons on this:)

Welcome to forums

If you don´t want to wait till wm7 (Not before september 2010) you can go for Diamond 2, Touch Pro 2 or Toshiba TG01

Just my opinion

Good luck,

my honest opinion:

if you want something that works....get the iphone for the moment..you will look cool..and it just works...until windows mobile 7 comes with all its tegra and snapdragon goodness!

I see no reason why you should get a new HTC windows mobile phone right now,unless you have the cash to burn. Just wait for windows mobile 7. you will be much happier based on some things i have read.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wejergang:
Hi,

My USB connection on the TP2 stopped working. I have not flashed my TP2, it only 1½ month old. It seems to be charging fine though, but I cannot connect to my Laptop, or any other PC for that matter :(

So I'm sending it for repair on the warranty.

Meanwhile I discovered that the water detection label on the battery and on the side of the phone is not white, but more like a diagonal red grid. The phone has not been exposed to any water or humidity

I therefore want to hear how the labels are looking on your phones - if they are meant to be so like this grid or if they are completely white.

So now I'm worried if they won't repair my phone, as these labels normally only get red when exposed to liquid fluids.

Please post a picture of your labels.

Thanks,

Another useful tip from me... ( i hope )

Instead of going through the whole process of shutting down your hero and restarting try this method for a quick reboot.

Hold down all 3 buttons call, end and menu.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WDM:
Hardware Keyboard - $ 100 Reward

100 USD PRIZE MONEY

Dear All,

I love my X1. The only thing I am not happy with is the (lack of) tactile feedback on the Hardware Keyboard of the X1. As there is little to no 'feel' to when you press the hardware keys.

There is an application out there from Snailslug which produces a small vibration whenever the touchscreen keyboard is pressed... see the following link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=450256

Now I am looking for the same thing with the HW keyboard. If anyone out there is up to creating an application (with a very small footprint) that produces a small vibration (around 25ms) after each key on the hardware keyboard is pressed, I will give that person 100 USD as a big thank you. To make it fair, here are the rules:

- Deadline: 31st of August (not that someone comes two years later and wants a prize for an application I dont need anymore

- First application that does not slow down my X1 and provides the requested result will be rewarded

Thanks and all the best,

so expect an app from you then?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard.ian.brown:
Actually I'm not sure this is that easy to do at all.

I thought ok I'll take a look so created a new device application in visual studio, getting the device to vibrate is easy, this is well documented.

Trapping key events when you have a form / control with focus is also easy. The problem comes when you want to trap key events without having a form or focus.

I've read several posts online pointing to coredll.dll, but nothing definitive.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firefall!:
Lol you need a hook. Sure this exists on WinMo just like on desktop Win.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WDM:
Great comments guys. Looks like there are at least a few willing to put some thought and effort in this. any chance of one of you coming up with the application anytime soon?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard.ian.brown:
I know I need a hook, which hook, which dll, documented where, that being my point.

I'll have another look at this tonight.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firefall!:
You never stated so. There is not much to such a hook actually I would create the app myself if I had the means. That's about 5 lines of code, just make the device shake and pass the key on. The only trouble you will run into is that the keys seem to be hooked already, so you have to make sure you don't mess with that and prioritize your function.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WDM:
Thanks Firewall. Is there anyone out there that would be able to write a few lines of code. It appears to be simple enough, if you can programm (which I cannot) which is why i am asking the pros here ;-)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard.ian.brown:
I can program, I'm a full time developer (C#, VB winforms mainly) for a Software house and I can tell you it's not simple.

If it were simple the people saying it's simple would have already done it by now.

Anyway what I have currently is a working application that traps the keyboard event and vibrates the phone, however it's not a workable solution at this point as the event seems to take an age to fire on my X1 (10 -15 seconds). I'm looking into this.

I suspect this is something that ought to be written in C++ as oppose to C#.

WMD - PM me your email and you can take a look at this if you like to see evidence of it doing what I have claimed.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard.ian.brown:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimi75-xda:

Personally I think this works best set to vibrate on key down only and for 15 milliseconds.

At start up the default is 25 milliseconds as per your request, I can change this if you like.

I believe it's possible to have the application running without a visible element in the task manager also, which I'm willing to look into if you think it's necessary?

All feedback welcome.

Has anyone else tried this? I've been running this for several days now with no problems.

If there's interest then I'll look at making improvements to it, if there's no interest then I won't bother?

Improvements I'm considering are:

1. Make application run in background without showing in the Task Manager.

2. Bring closer in line with TouchResponse (which I think most people use). So add: a) suppress when device is on silent option, b) supress when in call option.

3. Create a CAB installer for the app.

Any way for an app like this to be modified to log keys?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard.ian.brown:
Yes, this app already receives the keystroke,it would be a logical extention on this. Why?

I should add this app doesn't care what that keystroke is, just that one has occurred. It vibrates the device and moves on. It does not record anything at all.

The source code is posted further up for the suspicious amongst us in any case.

I'm not sure if that's the point of your post or if you were actively interested in something that records keystrokes? Though I can't see much mileage in that given the normally private nature of a mobile device. (Other than for less than honest reasons that is.)

Maybe to find out who's using your phone when you don't notice and what they do with it... :cool:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard.ian.brown:
I take your point.

I'm not sure how to respond to be honest though. My gut response is surely it would be better to not leave you phone in places where others have access to it. (Prevention rather than cure).

However, assuming that not to be possible then the simple answer is yes it's possible (to create an app).

It seems inherently wrong / distrusting somehow though. :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firefall!:
You can't always ensure that no-one accesses it. Sometimes people would ask you if they can use it for some time and you will let them. Maybe they wanna check their mailbox and you want to know their password :D Anyway, if you do it, make sure you are buffering the input... A filewrite on every keydown would most likely have very bad influence on performance.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard.ian.brown:

I have a Vodafone-branded 32B Magic, and I also have a full backup of HTC-branded 32A Magic (a dump from Magic sold by Orange in Poland) created by nandroid 2.2.0, which I'd like to flash onto my device. Restoring a backup from 32A device onto 32B device most likely will not end up very well.

However, I'd like to ask if there's any other way of porting that backup into the usable ROM for 32B device? Maybe a partial restore of just few *.img files would be possible? Is it something fairly easily done, or higher expertise of our ROM-chefs is required in this case? Sorry in advance for perhaps a bit n00b questions on this. :)
