[Shift General] LordDeath:
Hello,

I have a HTC Shift with a German keyboard and from time to time some keys stop working.

Now became even worse and it does not recognize these keys:

T, Z and the Right Arrow key

They are also not working in Snapvue, so it is not a software issue.

What can I do to repair these keys? :(

edit: I just looked behind the Shift keyboard and there seems no possibility to look and maybe clean behind the keys. So I need a new keyboard.

Any idea, where I can order a replacement keyboard for the shift?
[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
I've had similar problems on other laptops, which have been solved by removing the keyboard and cleaning the connector, and the slot it goes into.

The dirty contacts prevent groups of keys from working.
[Shift General] LordDeath:
Hi,

I remove the keyboard and cleaned to connector but with no effect. The 3 keys still don't work. :(

The bad is in the internet I can't find any replacement keyboards for the shift to order. And even if I find one it should be a foreign key layout.

Should I try to contact HTC? Maybe they sell single parts?

Afaik giving the Shift away to repair it would 1. cost much more and 2. it would be away for weeks or months. But I use this device every day and replacing the keyboard should take only 3 minutes. :(
[Shift General] lucid:
YOUR HTC Shift cannot be older than 2 years and therefore must have

factory insurance on it (if you are in the European Union)

So just send it in for repair, ask your reseller for the guarantee regulations.
[Shift General] LordDeath:
And this is the problem:

I know that sending it for repair would take at least one month until I get it back. But for this time I have no replacement.

And in the end they could tell me that the repair caused additional costs which I have to pay. And in that case a new keyboard bought by myself would be less expensive.

can i just install a new TomTom on my OEM 6.1 ROM with maps and POI's? i feel my maps and features are out of date.

i'm actually looking for something with free traffic notifications so if there's any suggestion of a GPS with this feature (free would be very ideal), please suggest.

thanks!!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bbezja1:
i use TomTom only. install and upgrade is easy once you understand wht youre doing. traffic notif. is something different at Tomtom (afaik) because you have to login to some servers or something which requires you to have a legit copy. may be worth it though - depends on where you live
[General Questions and Answers] Action_Heinz:
After month of problems, unable to connect my X1 to my Pioneer headunit, I finally decided to sell it.

The question is now, which phone will be my next one?

I'm between the HTC Hero, the Nokia N97 and the Samsung Omnia HD. Important for my decision is a WinMo free device. The time I had my XDA Orbit and after that the X1 I learned to hate Windows Mobile.

Things used to like on my X1:

- QWERTY Keyboard

- the Multimedia/Internet capability

What I didn't like:

- the bluetooth incompatibility to my SatNav

- the working speed

- the limited internet experience (Browsing was not as good as I expected. Opera was slow and "sticky")

The advantage of the N97 is clearly the QWERTY keyboard. But the touchscreen is worse than the ones from Samsung and HTC I think, because it's resistive not capacitive. The Omnia HD has a brilliant AMOLED capacitive display, great for watching movies or doing any other multimedia stuff. The Hero has also a good capacitive touchsceen, an open OS with lots of tools to download and a intuitive user interface.

What I want:

- an easy to use UI which can be personalized

- a smooth and fast operation (I hate continous pressing on the screen until an App opens)

- bluetooth comatibility to my Pioneer Avic X3II (should be no problem, beacause only WinMo devices don't work properly)

- downloadable apps would be nice but not necessary

- a good internet browser and a good alround internet browsing speed as less limited as possible (in comparison to "real" surfing on a PC)

- flash compatibility would be cool

- last but not least: a speedy way to type messages. A full QWERTY keyboard would be the best solution, but typing messages on a very good touchscreen is also fine. On my iPod Touch I am pretty quick ;)

If you have any ideas/recommends/suggestions please post them.

And if you know a device that fits better to my needs feel free to name them (except iPhone because it's way too expensive here in germany) :D

Greetings

Updated: Sept 8 2009 Now over 50 clocks some in 2 sizes. Have fun with the new clocks and the new Candy.

--Linuxrebel--

I'm one of those who loves Eye Candy, but hates windows. So despite some excellent work done by xidominicanoix I couldn't use the work. So with xidominicanoix's permission to use the collection I've written a shell script that can run on your SD card and installs the new clocks in quick order.

NOTE: This is for rooted phones only. I've tested it pretty heavily on my G1 but your mileage is not guaranteed. If you are not comfortable in a Linux/Unix shell you might be best off with the tool here.

I claim only that it worked on my phone, (and that it looks cool to me :D)

Directions for use (Copy of the directions are also in the README file):

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is a quick and easy way to change the clocks on your phone without the hassle of using windows adb, etc.

Unfortunately for those who aren't rooted, this will not work. Root is required to be able to use

this script and change the clock. There are lots of tutorials on how to root phones, so go forth and google to find your answers.

Usage:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

1. Connect your phone to your main computer and copy the file clocks.tgz to your sdcard

2. Disconnect the phone, as the rest will not need your computer to complete.

3. Open a term window (I like connectbot your preference may vary)

4. su

5. cd /sdcard

6. tar -vzxf clocks.tgz (this will open the tar gzip file)

7. cd Clocks

8. sh setclock.sh backup (This will backup your existing clock)

9. sh setclock.sh [name of the clock you want to use]

You can remove the clocks.tgz file anytime you want once it is opened it's no longer used. If you run backup a second time it restores the originally backed up clock.

NOTES:

Images of the various clocks are in the the directory called Images. The Image viewer on the G1 picks them up (may need to force it to re-read) and I'd imagine that the other phones work the same, so you can see what it is you are going to get that way. The Directory name will match the name of the picture to make life better. To add a clock to this script all you need to do is make a directory under Clocks, with the AlarmClock.apk file in it, and then run the script to have it 'installed' the same as all the others.

Again thanks to xidominicanoix for gathering together permission to use all of these clocks, and giving me the idea to do it this way. (Since I couldn't use his bloody windows tools :D)

--Linuxrebel--

You can download the tarball at the following link:

http://www.4shared.com/file/131059734/7781f9a1/clocks.html

md5sum 7c1253ba43d6b21194b56c489b9fb7e6 clocks.tgz

Seems I forgot about the Windows side of the world. All I have at home are *nix systems (Linux, Mac and BSD), so if you are not on a *nix or Cygwin enabled system a zip file

Are you having hard time with xidominicanoix's version or mine? If mine let me know what the problem is. If xidominicanoix's I'm going to be as in the dark as anyone could be.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Adam17:
Yeah I am having problems with his, just can't seem to get it working for me.

Edit: So we have to go back into term everytime we want to change it? Or am I missing the easier way to do it?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] linuxrebel:
Good bad or ugly, yes you do need to go back to term. UNLESS a miracle happens and I instantly figure out how to to Android style programming :D I'm an admin not a programmer. :cool:
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Adam17:
Np, I can deal with term a helluva a lot easier than I can with adb.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] kirandeep:
works great..takes a few seconds after initial set up to bang into terminal the commands to change the clock. I have had issues with ADB where I seem to lose adb connection for unknown reasons and phone doesnt connect so this method for me is alot easier.

thanks!

hello .... it's not working for me..

when i get to step:

8. sh setclock.sh backup (This will backup your existing clock)

my g1 says cp: cannot stat '//system/app/AlarmClock.apk': No such file or directory

hmmmmmmmmmmm

what to do

i HAve Cm 4.0.2

and the oreo red n blk theme
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] linuxrebel:
Looking into it.

EDIT: I did the only thing I can imagine is that a theme you are using has moved the AlarmClock.apk package and I've no idea where.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] linuxrebel:
I'm stumped

The normal location of the clock is /system/app (or //system/app, same place extra /)

Is it perhaps possible that the theme you are using moves the AlarmClock.apk? If you can give me a link to the theme (I'm more than a little tired at the moment and having really lousy luck with search.) I'll see if I can figure out what the author of that did, or if it is even the problem.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] linuxrebel:
ugghhh.

Ok. Pneumonia bytes. Especially what they jokingly call "Walking" Pneumonia. But I'm more or less back in action now.

Someone noted they didn't have numbers. I'm guessing you are on the on screen keyboard. Go to the lower right hand corner you'll get the rest of your keyboard.

For someone who reports that the clock doesn't change. Did you run this as root? If not the current version of the script will go through the motions and produce no change. (I'll stick in a check for this in the next version.)

Oh well off to make adjustments.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] linuxrebel:
More clocks are a coming.

I've got to add more in. As for finding them..... I just search this forum. Haven't seen a tutorial yet. But there should be one.

Great Work!!

But i´ve got a problem with adding a new alarmclock.apk

In the ReadMe there is written:

To add a clock to this script all you need to do is make a directory under Clocks, with the AlarmClock.apk file in it, and then run the script to have it 'installed' the same as all the others.

But this doesn´t work for me. I´ve opened the clocks.tgz file with 7-zip (i´ve also tried winrar, but it makes no difference). And then i´ve followed the ReadMe. But when I want to install the file, i´ve allways get an error message, and the new added clock don´t get installed.

Any ideas?

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] linuxrebel:
The tgz is a tar gz file.... hmmm in my haste didn't think windows. Let me re-package in a zip and post a link to the zip on my home. OR you can copy the clocks.tgz to your phone and from a term window do this

tar -vzxf clocks.tgz

That will open it up. I honestly don't know what will happen if you open the tgz (AKA tar.gz) with 7z or winrar, and it definetly won't work if you are trying to run this ON your windows system. Move the tgz to your SD and open it up using the phone not your computer. Then run the script on your phone.

Remove the clock then re-add

Sometimes it will auto switch the widget, sometimes it just shows the last clock used, occasionally it will give an "unable to load widget" error. Long press the clock, trash can it and then long press the screen and add widget "analog clock"

Can't get it to work!

Awesome work linuxrebel, unfortunately I cant get it to work.

I have windows 7, i put the clocks.tgz on the root of the sd card.

Then opened connectbot, then pressed local, then entered your exact commands but nothing happens. The clock stays as it is.

I see that you told someone above to run the commands as root, how do I do that? or does the su command in your post does it?

I've done the su command but nothing happens!

I have HoFo ROM v2.10 on 32A magic.

...I've seen in a TARIL's Rom I've used (not any more), a superb "finger-friendly" feature:

There was a TOUCH BUTTON on the right top of the PROGRAMS scrolling bar (and also in CONTACTS too), which you could touch on it and "grab" it, puss it down and you could that way to scroll REALLY FAST to the bottom of the bar! Also, while you was doing that, there was an alphabetic show-up of the programs (with large "A,B,C,D,..." etc. appearing)!

[APP][WM6.5] Magnifier Configurator (24th Aug) - beta

Hello,

since I'm about to develop WM application, I wanted to get into WM restrictions for C#.

So there the app is - it lets you setup Magnifier (setting timeouts, enabling "features", ..) plus adding/deleting apps in which will be Magnifier disabled.

It was built for QVGA on WM6.5 build 23034 CSY, but it should run on all resolutions.

It needs .NET compact framework!

Screenshots:

Just copy it to your device (anywhere) and run the .exe.

It is early beta version, it will probably fail to set some parameters properly (converting from bool to dword is the biggest problem), so when you find something, tell me. Thanks.

Also, some settings (I've done it from registry, I hope I got all options named correctly) might not work as expected, but that must fix MS in WM itself (like Ellipse option).

Current version: Magnifier_beta2.zip

Old versions

Magnifier_beta.zip - missing SIP and menu icons
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OndraSter:
Known options:

Enabled - enables/disables whole magnifier

Bilinear -

Elipse - currently buggy when enabled, not sure what it is supposed to do

Show crosshair - shows (or does not) crosshair when opened

Use High Fidelity - when you open magnifier and then try to move it to somewhere else, it still shows the original position, you must wait till it closes to show different place

Resize For High Fidelity -

Crosshair Length - Length of Crosshair

Crosshair Thickness - Thickness of Crosshair

Doubletap Distance - Max distance between taps to open magnifier

Doubletap Time - Maximum time it will wait for "doubletap" to open magnifier

Deactivate Delay - time before it starts disappearing

Fade Duration - Time how long it will take to disappear completely

Height -

Max Window Size -

Width -

The free ones are still waiting to investigate.

If you think that one of these is incorrect, post me that and I'll fix it.
