Hey All,

Just switch to a great 6.5 rom from Shep for my Raphael.

Im liking 6.5 but one thing im missing, i hope someone can help...

In 6.1 pocket Outlook calendar (default one) i could start a new appointment while typing. EG i tapped 12:00 and started typing; this would open the "new appointment" dialog. In 6.5 this feature is gone... ( at least i cant find it).

I really want to use this ability. Anyone know if and how to enable this in 6.5 ?

Tnx a lot !
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomasTrek:
Hi guys,

I made a little shell script that I run which backs up my settings on the phone. What I'd like to do is make the LED light up green if the process completes and red if it fails, for a few seconds and then clear it.

Is it possible to control the LED from the command line?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teario:
Yes you can control LEDs from the command line.

Try something like this:

colour can be one of these:

red

green

blue

jogball-backlight

button-backlight

lcd-backlight

I tried this on my Magic, not sure if it's the same for others.

Changing red/green/blue will affect the led. You can mix colours, so setting red and green to 255 will give you yellow (it's actually more orange - the colour it turns when it is charging).

Values can be 0-255 but anything that is not 0 will turn the led on. There don't seem to be any brightness levels as far as I have found.

jogball-backlight is obvious - the light behind the trackball.

button-backlight is the light behind the keypad. For your Dream you may have something else to control the keypad backlight but since the Magic doesn't have one, this option affects the 6 buttons on the front of the device.

lcd-backlight I have so far not been able to get to work. Changing the value has no effect.

The red/green/blue values also have a blink file which can be set:

This will make the led begin to blink. Note that you must set the brightness as well. Brightness of 0 and blink of 255 will not do anything. Only the led has this ability. I'm not sure how the trackball does the fade on and off when you get a text message.

You can mix blink of one colour with constant of another. For example, set:

green brightness to 255,

green blink to 0,

red brightness to 255,

red blink to 255

blue brightness to 0

blue blink to 0

What you will see is an led that is green, but blinks yellow/orange.

Blinks are always synchronised. You cannot use blink to flash green then red one after the other. Setting both brightness and blink to 255 on red and green will cause a yellow/orange flashing led.

However if you make a timer and set green brightness to 0 and red to 255, then after x seconds set red to 0 and green to 255 you can achieve the effect of blinking between two colours. The device itself has no method of doing this automatically though.

You can also change the values when the device is plugged in. If I plug mine in via USB, the led turns orange while it charges. If you check the value of green and red you will see they are now 255 and blue is 0. Set green and red to 0 and the led will be off even though the device is plugged in.

What I have noticed with this though is that when you unplug, the led goes back to orange and then turns off. This happens no matter what you set - if your device is plugged in and then you make the led blue, when you unplug the led will turn orange and then off (or green then off if it is fully charged).

System events can also override whatever values you set. If you set the led blue then plug it in, it will still change to green or orange (green for charged, orange for charging). I assume getting a text message will override and flash green as well.

That's everything I've found out about them. You may want to make a little script that you can pass parameters to, like "setLED r g b" or something. Would make it easier to set colour combinations.

Have fun with the LEDs.

I know that the Imagio is the first interesting Verizon Windows Mobile phone, but I rarely see it mention in the Topaz threads. From what I can see (I don't claim to be an expert) the Verizon Imagio has better hardware features than the AT&T Pure.

1. Bigger screen

2. 3.5 mm headphone jack

3. MediaFlo turner with kickstand antenna

4. It's "supposedly" a true world phone (CDMA\GSM) and comes with several plugs for the AC adapter

5. A little bigger body, but I find the body of the phone more appealing and ergonomic than the pure. I also like the speaker-grill-like edge on the front of the phone.

Why don't I sense much enthusiasm directed towards this variant of the Topaz from this community?... The reason might very well be that it's a brand new phone and none of the developers has gotten their hands on one of these.... Or Am I missing something obvious?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] syntrix:
I have the specs on a handwritten sheet at work.

Sure the pure is slightly smaller in side to side dimensions, but it's FATTER than the imagio.

imagio does weigh a little more though, but THREEPOINTSIXINCHESDISPLAY, yay!!!!

I think the obvious is hard spl... won't be out for a while, so not many people can cook up a new rom for cdma. I will say that coming from a diamond on ATT and going to a TP2 on verizon, my experience has been phenominal.

VZ has faster speeds, better (MUCH BETTER) coverage and faster downloads. I'm done with ATT after they said my work 12% was applied to my account, check it in a month. In the end, they finally said the 12% wasn't compatible with my plan... thanks for the notice 4 months later, sigh.

VZ gives 19%, and I can actually see it on my account, yay. I really don't know why people put up with ATT.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] loriolus:
I actually find D2/Pure aesthetically more pleasing than imagio.

PDAdb.net Imagio vs. Pure specs

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=1912&id2=1784

At this point the specs for both phones are incomplete, but I think the Imagio has a 1500 mAh battery while the Pure has a 1100 mAh battery.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] syntrix:
Good points, I even have the talk times in my notes, I'll update above.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] rolandroland:
Those specs contradict Verizon's for the Imagio so I would assume they just copied the Pure specs or they are just early/inaccurate specs.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] syntrix:
I would never trust pdadb, always verify with the manu/carrier, which is EXACTLY what I did for the data that I posted above.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tamanaco:
I agree... I didn't get the battery specs from the Imagio from PDAdb (is not even there) I got it by watching several unboxing videos of the Imagio.... same with the Pure.

i had the pure for about two days and now i have my imagio an it kills the pure!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] loriolus:
Kills the pure? I have no clue what you mean but they are very similarly speced devices. Pure to my eyes looks more sophisticated.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] rolandroland:
Probably the screens size. Hard to now to with the one almost a half inch larger.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] galfert:
I'm amazed that we even need to compare the Pure vs. the Imagio to make a decision to go with one or the other. Is there no carrier loyalty? Doesn't one carrier work better for any given person for one reason or another? For me it makes a huge difference. I'm not saying AT&T is the best...I agree that depending on where you live or what plans work better for your needs ..etc...all justify one carrier versus another. I just can't believe that someone would be indifferent to choose AT&T or Verizon just based on the phone.

I suppose some people will choose a phone no matter what carrier it is on and they will not think twice about switching carriers. I on the other hand have a carrier preference for several reasons and I won't consider a phone on a different carrier even if the specs are better. It is a game of leap frog and all the carriers compete with each other and they all have similar offerings. I'm still happy with my Fuze and have no interest in upgrading since I'm not due yet for an upgrade discount. I'll skip a generation and upgrade when better HTC phones come out with snapdragon CPUs. By the time I qualify for an upgrade I'll just go to a WM 7.0 device.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] syntrix:
Carrier makes a huge difference!

sprint = no service 10 mins outside of town

att = edge only 10 mins outside of town

verizon = 3g well outside of town

Plus locally I get better thoughput with verizon as well as call quality. Now your personal story is most likely different, but this is why I love VZ in my region!

I do like that the pure is a little smaller, I'll have to check it out!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pdagal:
I've got both the Pure and the Imagio and did reviews of both. Other than screen size and TV tuner, the specs are similar. But the Imagio wins hands down: the display size makes a big difference (UI is easier to use with a finger, video is more pleasurable and etc), it looks much better/cooler, doesn't become totally mucked with fingerprints in 5 minutes and I like the software customizations on the Imagio better.

But the carrier obviously makes a difference for many folks, and there's a price differential too.

Then there's the HD2 which I had a chance to play with yesterday at CTIA. Who knows if we'll ever see that in the US, but I'd say it would make a lot of folks forget about both the Pure and Imagio!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] syntrix:
So I called to cancel my other ATT line, and they made me a sweet deal on a Pure, credits for a few months, etc. Should be here tomorrow, yay! Yeah, I'm crazy like that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
I really think if anything the imagio should be compared against the TP2. They are the same minus Keyboard. The pure is nice but I can't stand the bezel of it and much prefer the look of the Unlocked TD2 than that of the Pure. But they are all nice.

I say go with the phone on whichever carrier has the best deal and coverage.

Oh and being CDMA and GSM does not make it a "True" World phone. World phones have been out forever For GSM peeps. CDMA is finally jumping onboard. It only has both CDMA and GSM because their sister companies overseas are running the GSM network. How much does it cost you to use this "feature"? Can you place a different carrier SIM in it overseas and haev it work. Or are u still limited to that carrier and their sister comp?

I much prefer GSM and unlocked seeing as I can put any SIM I choose in. Overseas I Freeze My T-mo account for (Up to 60 days is permitted) and I only pay $10 bucks for those 2 months. Then I buy a Prepaid SIM when I get to my destination and just keep topping that up for the cheap.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tamanaco:
Someone over at a Topaz CDMA thread just point us to the shipped ROM of the Imagio.... Could be the precursor of good things to come.

Pocketnow reports that there are two issues (Echo & Buttons) with the Imagio. Can these issues be fixed via registry tweaks/hacks or do they require ROM modifications?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tamanaco:
Here

is a review of the Imagio and Pure from Phonedog... Not really a review... more of an overview of both phones... it does not dig deep to compare different aspects of the phones.

About the sound quality issues with the Imagio reported by others this reviewer says: "Both devices have performed pretty well in my admittedly limited testing of both calling and data. Though I gotta say the call quality on Imagio has been pretty amazing. I've read a few other reviews complaining about spotty call quality on the device, so maybe I need to get out of the office and test it in more places around these parts (East Bay part of the San Francisco area), but Imagio seems to like my office just fine."

The one thing I'd like to know about these two phones is if they have the same/different TouchFLO 3D and WM 6.5 builds.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pdagal:
The WinMo builds are the same. The TF3D versions differ:

Imagio: TF3D 2.0.38937.1

Pure: 2.1.19183217.0

But TF3D on the Imagio has an added feature that allows TF3D to access your location for HTC location features. This allows for the weather to be superimposed on the clock in the homescreen and when you look at your calendar via the calendar tab and view today you'll get the forecast for your current location below the appointment list. Wonder why the newer version on the Pure doesn't get this? A shame.

Hello,

I´m currently working on a german WM 6.1 21054 with Manila build 1.20.19131530.00 but I need some help to get manila smooth.

Everything is slow in that rom while I´m sliding left or right it gets stocking .

I´ve tried 3D NeoS2007 Driver pack 3, Samsung D3D and that HTC-TI from tpc package but none of them got that stocking away.

If you like I could upload that test rom.
[General Questions and Answers] schueyisking:
So....i've had enough of my awful ipaq 614c with its small screen. It's virtually impossible to text properly on it using your fingers.

In the £300-£350 price point lies 2 phones that both look good - i have no idea which one is better.

THe acer has that 1ghz snapdragon processor, the samsung has an 800mhz. I know cpu isnt the last word when it comes to performance, so which one is likely to perform better with WIndows 6.5??

Which phone is better? Any other phones in that price point coming with windows 6.5 and a snapdragon or equivalent?
[General Questions and Answers] fbickley:
I was having the same debate as well. One of my favorite WM phones ever was a samsung, and I know they have high quality phones. I have also had HTC which I feel are very good, but now too pricey and leaving the US market out in the cold.

My current phone is an f900 from Acer. Build quality was Average, and it seemed to work quite well once I got a light rom to save memory space. I really can't complain about it, and if I hadn't messed up a button and had to send it in for repair, I might have kept using it into next year.

However to keep it short, I made my decision on the neotouch, unfortunely though, I haven't recieved it yet. But when I saw the difference in the benchmarks for the two phones, I knew that the snapdragon made it for me. The quality is reportedly higher than the f900, and the power is astounding. For the price, I just don't know that any other phone compares. I would've waited for an HTC HD2, but they are delaying the US release and it was going to cost nearly double. I seem to upgrade phones every year, so I figured what comes out after a year of the snapdragon, will blow away the HD2.

I'll let you know whether I have buyer's remorse or not when I get the phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony_m78:
Hi everybody, I searched everywhere the forum but I can't find a solution... in the past i successfully rooted my G1, and I installed many Cyanogen roms... until the last one! I did a stupid reboot after flashing the HTC one, so... I had to root it again; no problem, I told myself... but NOW, after some steps (probably some wrong ones...) my phone boots correctly with a RC39 original T-mobile rom, and I can't change it!

If I try to boot into recovery, NO RECOVERY, I see the fastboot (like holding CAMERA button); if I hold the CAMERA button, I enter the fastboot. "Serial0", is displayed... if I try, from the fastboot, to select the typical "DREAIMG.nbh" file, after a quick "checking..." I get a "not allowed" message!!!!!!! :confused:

should it or should cyanogen be faster? i liked cyanogen but it just seemed to lag more...my friends G1 does the same thing.

also, everytime ive flashed cyanogen's 4.0.4 rom, and i install the wifi tether for root users app, it works, but it will not show up as a secured network, even though on my G1 in the app settings i have it set to be encrypted.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kusotare:
cyanogen has said that he *might* push the update out tonight, but ultimately, hes the only one who knows. as for the swap, running it is completely up to you. I have two g1s that are running 4.1.99 and the swap makes little differenct as far as i can tell. also, ext3 is fine, ext4 (because of its relative instability) is more likely to eat your card faster.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ufvj217:
ive heard swap will eat the card faster as well.

i think ill just do fat32 and ext3.

can you explain to me what compcache is/does? i have the files and had it enabled on 4.0.4, but thats been wiped a few days ago so id have to reset it up if i want to use comcache with 4.1.99
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
compcache compress data that is going to be stored in ram and is cpu heavy

the result is more ram is available for use at the cost of cpu power and as a result battery life.

thats the simple way of stating it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ufvj217:
you think i should run it?

i see in your sig you have fat32, ext3, and swap, then it says you have 32mb for comcache, is that a separate partition, or does that use space from your 96mb swap?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
The compcache is stored on the RAM. The swap partition is on the SDcard and is used as a backing when the RAM fills up or the information cannot be compressed. The swap is generally for when I'm on a Hero ROM, where I use the swap only (since its a little bit faster for me on Hero)

I have a detailed explanation on the performance benefits on Compcache + Swap only, but I don't remember where it is.

Cyanogen uses Compcache by default, so if you don't have a userinit.sh, it will be on. Try it out, and then try it with the script. See what works better for you
