Cheers Dave.

I wasn't actually aware of Steel but I've just installed it and had the same result.

Bit of a pain, I'm (mostly) enamoured with the new dog 'n' bone but it's got a couple of problems or things that don't work as they should.

Thanks all the same.
[Touch Cruise General] SuperJMN:
Hello!

I'm experiencing some problems with the jog wheel. The up direction is too soft when touched, and it feels like its underlaying mechanism is misplaced. Every other directions make the clicking sound when pressed, but sometimes they're hard and unresponsive.

What can I do? is it difficult to open the case and fix it? Would it be worth to open it? what screwdriver should I use to reach this part?

Thanks a lot!
[Touch Cruise General] sifu:
Same thing is happening to me but with the right key, anyone have any input please???!
[Touch Cruise General] chris10230:
You know what this happened to me recently as well. It's not completely broken....(have to press very hard) yet but its annoying as it was the most used dpad key, that could be the reason why its broken, o well one of those things i guess.

i wonder if there is a way to add more ringtones for SMS? because i can only use my mp3's or other sound effects for calls.

thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] djdant:
Buy or Download Ringo Pro or Lite, I use it for my SMS tones so i know if its worth goin to my phone or not haha.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] CodeMonkey:
Add a 'notifications' folder to your memory card.

Copy the tones you want to the folder.

They should then be visible in email, calendar, sms tone settings.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] boomshine:
@CodeMonkey

at first i put 'Notifications' but didn't worked out, LOL i thought my magic wont have any problems recognizing 'Notifications' and 'notifications'

it needed to be all small letters to work AND ALSO the 'notifications' folder must be inside the 'Music' folder of your card.

Thanks alot CodeMonkey you ARE my HERO =p

btw i can't forward messages sent to me to my other friends,

also there is no inbox, outbox,sent messages etc.

SMS in magic is like a chat...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aniriand:
Thanks heaps, was just trying to figure out how to do this!! Didn;t need to put notifications in music though, just straight on the sdcard and it worked a charm.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BigRD:
Open your message and do a long press, this will bring up the menu to forward your messages. This applies to the stock Message app and chompSMS.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] boomshine:

my bad dude, yes you it also works even if the folder is not inside the 'Music' folder

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] CodeMonkey:
Note that you can do the same for alarm tones with a folder called alarms (on the root of the card) and ringtones (with a folder called ringtones).

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fatmonk:
I've searched for this one but can't find any mention of it...

I'm finally switching back to an o2 Serra / Touch Pro after they finally admitted to having some in stock again! (Not through sales channels though, and it took a five page letter complaining about their Customer Service!).

Anyway, over the last 3 months I've had to make do with an SE xPeria X1.

The one thing about the X1 (other than the WVGA screen) that I preferred with the X1 was that you could hit the power button to turn the screen off and ActiveSync (and therefore MyMobiler) would stay connected. Nice!

Is there any way to make the Touch Pro do the same?

Cheers,

FM
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
Find a program that only shuts the screen off like HandyMenu.

The power button puts the phone in standby.

I use Pocket controller to view the phone on my PC and use Haandy Menu to turn off the screen.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fatmonk:
Is there much difference in power consumption between standby and just screen off?

What I'm thinking is, is it a good idea to change the function of the power button (I know there are tools to do that) to only switch off the screen in normal use as well or am I going to just make the short battery life more of an issue?

Cheers,

FM
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Beeble:
I might have missed the point here, but why would you only want to turn the screen off in normal use?

I can understand not wanting the screen on (in line of sight) if its in a cradle syncing all day, but unless you're wanting to have programs running & working all day (gps mapping something i guess) i cant see any advantage.

Finally, i'm not sure if you can unmap the power button, you can almost certainly re-map it, but that may not remove the original function (i cant test today, mine's off for repair).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sipple31:
I've often wondered the same thing. My phone sits on ActiveSync all day at work with the screen un-necessarily on. There has to be a fix other than a paid application...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fatmonk:
Essentially I'd like to replicate the power button function of the SE X1 on the Touch Pro.

The X1 seems to only power off the screen rather than going into standby - ie all apps keep running, bluetooth and wifi stay connected etc.

This means that when the phone is connected using MyMobiler or similar the screen can be off as I am displaying the screen contents on my PC screen.

Rather than having a seperate function to switch the screen off (I'm going to try EdgeWat PocketPC Utils for that), it would be nice if the power button could be mapped to just switch the screen off.

My concern is that if I swap the functionality of the power button (their do seem to be a few apps that allow you to re-assign the power button funtion) I won't just be using it this way when the phone is connected to a PC, I will ALWAYS be just switching the screen off. So, when I am out and about would doing this cause a big increase in battery drain?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fatmonk:
And I would guess this functionality must be possible in software as it seem the Pandora client does it when you are running it:

Like u can find a lot of cab files for EXCELLENT TASK BARS WITH COLOURED-ICON for Xperia... Can any one make a cab file which makes ICONS IN CONNECTIVITY BUTTONS IN SE PANELS COLOURED...NOT THE DEFAULT GREYISH BLACK (Coloured WiFi, Bluetooth, Phone, Volume Control Icons) & preferably bright neon type colours.

I think other Xperiancers would love it 2.

its easy dude, just copy the contents to your desktop, change some of the extensions to zip (cant remember which but i did it already) even the clock and weather icons are skinnable ;)

edit the icons with an image editor, replace the files in the compressed folder and rename it

just remember to rename the zip folder back to the original extension, maybe later tonight i will leave exact instructions if u still dont understand

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ImmortalShadow:
Hi Guys,

i am completely new to this, so i could use a little help here...

I already looked up my chip (its a samsung) to help out for the HSPL, and i informed myself about the possibilities...

But i still got one big question...

Is there a way to flash a normal HTC ROM on my T-Mobile branded TP2 without using HSPL? Should i use Goldcard, and if yes, can anyone link me a good tutorial or how - to for it?

Because its anoying that you can't install skype oder any messengers and so on...

I would also upload my German T-Mobile ROM, if anyone would tell me how to backup it...

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] animelover:
A ROM-Dump isn't really practicable because of missing HardSPL! :(

To get a GoldCard send cmonex a PM with the question for helping you! Got mine yesterday and the Stock HTC ROM isn't as good as my o2 Stock ROM! :D

BTW:

It's necessary to spend some money to cmonex for getting this little mod! But with her way of GoldCard, you can flash any Stock ROM straight from your PC to your TP2! And you will help developing HardSPL! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ImmortalShadow:
I hope its at least better than my stock T-Mobile, cause it really sucks and i don't get updates at all, so i still got buggy GPS and the + bug, which is really annoying...

But so far thx a lot for your help :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] animelover:
I think it will be good for you to flash the o2 ROM as it has a huger amount of free memory and seems to be more stable than the HTC ROM, then flash Radio 3.46, which can be found here on XDA! For sure, after getting the GoldCard from cmonex/Olipro (;)),

just want to check - if i run Blackstone Unlock ( http://blackstone.htc-unlocks.com/ ) it tells me it's going to wipe all the date from my PDA...

is there a way to run this and Not wipe the handset, or am i going to have to re-install all my themes, apps, bookmarks, shortcuts, and settings from scratch again?? :eek:

thanks for any help
[Touch HD General] c_lee:
No, you should be fine - it replaces the ROM loader but doesn't wipe any of your applications, contacts, email settings, documents, etc.

The warning is sensible though, as with any flashing op there's always a risk you could end up with a temporarily dead phone if you do something daft like turning it off halfway through.

If you're on the stock Orange ROM and are trying to unlock it for a SIM from another network, it'll work fine - others on here have used it and confirm that.

Before any procedure, no matter how trivial, as a precaution I always perform a backup first.

Hi all, i'm sorry to write for this question, but i got a Tytn II just from 2 weeks, and i don't know which software i have on it, which version of Touch flo or Manila (if 2d or 3d), there is away to know the version of the software ?

Is There a way to update it if it is old ?

I know i have

Rom 3.29.408.0 ITA

Rom Date 05/07/08

Radio v1.65.16.25

Protocol v. 25.83.40.02H

My tytn ii is WM 6.1 PRO ITA CE 5.2.19212 Build 19212.1.0.3

I looked in Installed software but i can find only the software i installed, nothing about Touch Flo or Manila.

I suppose i have Manila, because i have the clock and several icons where i can find contacts, programs, weather, but i don't have the internet icon.

I found Manila version 1.20.19131530.00 at this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=398173

but i don't know if it is good for the tytn 2, then i suppose it is in english but if i want it in italian there is something to change or install ?

If i install it, it will overwrite the installed Manila, right ?

If i uninstall it (because don't work or i don't like) the old one will be recovered automatically ?

I read about Manila 2D and 3D, which is the difference and where i found the 3D version ?

thanks for any hint and for the answers to my questions

if you have some link to explain my needs i will appreciate them

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] afn691:
Did you try to drag your finger to the right (and see how the icons are travelling to the left at the same time) ? There you'll find, usually at the last position, the settings tab.

Excuse me for this question, but:

For other questions, did you do an extensive search here to know how Manila works or how a Windows Mobile device works ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] mav_top:
hi all, and sorry but i discovered that i have HTC Home only infact in Today Elements, i have Date, HTC Home, Messages, and HtcHomePlug, so i suppose no Manila is installed on my device.

Infact i can't move to left or right, so the Home, Contact, Weather, Program and Phone Icons are of HTC Home and not of Manila.

Now if i want to install Manila then i can remove it if it doesn't like ?

is there an italian localization of Manila for Kaiser ?

is the herg repository for the english version only, right ?

thanks and sorry for the newbie questions

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apolas:
Hey guys,

some time ago I've tried to free some space from my internal memory, so I've chosen several files to remove in my \windows directory, like ringtones, 007 trailer and some .cabs of default installed programs. Overall size was about 90MB, what is pretty nice while I had like 100MB free space on internal. I know these files can't be just deleted, so I've prepared fake files with the same name, but zero size and I did these steps:

1. backup of chosen files

2. rewrite old files with new files of zero size using Total Commander

!! BUT !! when I did so, free space of internal memory was always the same (even after restart)

3. so, when I saw it had no effect, I restored original files from backup back to the \windows folder and I was shoked when I saw 10MB of free memory :confused:

4. as a last step, I've changed these files again with those zero sized and I had the free space back

Now I have the same amount of free space as I had at the beginning, but with zero sized fake files instead of original files.

I want to ask:

a) why my method did not work??

b) how can I really free up some space?? (by removing those useless files)

c) where is the "ROM image" located?? I mean .. if I'll change those original files with fake files and I'll do hard reset, what will happen? Will be those original files restored from some hidden ROM image or are they necessary to keep (for any reason) in \windows folder?

Thank you for any ideas.

FYI I am using stock R3A ROM.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apolas:
C'mon ... I am sure somebody knows the answers. I've already read several threads about deleting files in windows folder, but all of them were about overwriting files with new, fake files. There were nothing about free memory. And also I can't find the answer on my third, probably most important question

Any help is appreciated.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
on wm there is a flash area

devided into 2 places 1 is storage

1 is rom

rom is read only after one flash the firmware

you can overshadow files in the rom flash with empty files

but they don't mean they are not still there

but it's don't matter because files on rom don't take up storage space at all

they take up rom space it's 2 seperate "partitions" if that makes something you can understand better

only way to truely remove files from the rom flash is to cook a rom without them

and even if you do that that will not give you more storage space as it's 2 seperate spaces

so basicly you're barking up the wrong tree for more storage
