[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Shasarak:
Out of curiosity I went back and had another go at this. Connecting to iPlayer over GPRS, EDGE or 3G, I now get a message on the website saying that iPlayer doesn't work over my network, and that I need to connect using WiFi. A note elsewhere on the website says that iPlayer is available over 3G for people on the 3 or Vodafone networks, but not on others. :mad: (I'm on O2). Connecting (briefly!!!) over my office's wifi network does work - the video can be played and opens in the Streaming Media Player. (I did try this once over a public wifi connection in my local Pret-a-manger, and it didn't work correctly).

However, even over wifi, the quality when streaming like this is even worse than I get from a myplayer .mov download - the resolution is a risible 320x176! :eek: So none of this really address my original question, which is how one can get better resolution out of iPlayer.

EDIT: Just to clarify, if I use myplayer to get streamed output from iPlayer, using Streaming Media Player to play it, this also gives me 320x176 video (but at least it manages to bypass the restriction on the O2 network, so it works over 3G). It also (sometimes) gives the option to download the programme in question, in the form of a 480x270 .mov file. Playing this nicely probably requires CorePlayer - TCPMP drops about 20% of frames.

Of course one could move the .mov file off the phone, re-encode to .mp4, and move it back on, and play it with HTCAlbum, but if you're going to go to that much effort it would be nice to be able to start with a higher-resolution video... which is where we came in.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Shasarak:
Did a little more experimenting yesterday. Didn't really get anywhere, but in case anyone else has a bit more imagination than I have....

Some programmes on iPlayer now have two additional links. There's the standard "download" link (which downloads the programme for iPlayer Desktop on the PC). There are also (sometimes) two others which let you download the programme in WMV format - one suitable for desktop PCs, the other for "mobile devices".

Downloading to iPlayer Desktop produces a file with a .mp4 suffix, but no other application besides iPlayer Desktop (either on my PC or on my phone) seems to be able to make head or tail of it.

The "mobile device" .wmv file can be played correctly on the TP2 using Pocket Windows Media Player, but the resolution is the standard mobile 360x180 again, which makes it unwatchable. The intended-for-desktop .wmv file is much higher res - something like 680x544 (I forget the exact numbers, but it's roughly that). When played back on a desktop PC, Windows Media Player realises that it's in anamorphic format and scales it to 967x544 or thereabouts. It looks quite good.

Putting this file onto my TP2, however, doesnt work so well. Pocket Windows Media Player does play it, but playback is quite jerky (not surprisingly, as the bit rate is very high) and, even more annoyingly, it fails to recognise that it's anamorphic and plays it at "native" aspect ratio, which is useless. There doesn't seem to be any way to get it to stretch it.

I tried feeding the desktop WMV file through the Encoder application to convert it to 800x480 .mp4, but the end result is a video where sound and picture are both gibberish - the .wmv is obviously encrypted in a way that the encoder doesn't recognise.

Anyone have any other suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] serfer222:
I just found out, there is hidden "3G switch" support in HTC CommManager.

So there is no need to upgrade ROM with beta packages from Mega if you just want this feature.

To activate the 3G feature you need:

0. Kill CommManager process. (fdcsoft task manager is your friend).

1. add these regkeys

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\UMTS]

"OpMode"=dword:00000001

"PrefRAT"=dword:00000001

@=dword:00000000

"PrefDomain"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\UMTS\BandSelection]

"Band"=dword:00000000

2. you need to replace some item in CommManager GUI with 3G item:

For example if I want to replace "Bluetooth" I will change this key (before its value was "Bluetooth")

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\2]

@="3G"

3. copy these images to your windows folder

Function_3G.png

Function_3G_Disable.png

Thats it.

You can choose 3G or GSM with one click now =)

tested with HTC CommManager_2_7_5_0,

Iolite version,

from RUU_Iolite_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.11.707.1_Radio_Sign_12.4 1.30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship,

released 3/3/2009

3g connection

the problem is that in Kaiser WM6.1 latest radio(expected to be the best) or any other radios, when in 3g mode u cant make a call. It just starting to search operation.

Any solution for this will be highly appriciated by many ppl in the form

tnx in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hudytheone:
there is an even easier way built in the new roms, my 3g coverage is crap at best

go to start/settings/personal/phone at the bottom of the screen go to (gsm/umts services) then in the box tap band then get settings and change from auto to gsm and all sorted this is an easier way if you dont need to be swapping and changing from one to the other.:D:D:D:D

Hi,

I thought I read somewhere HTC would release this upgrade for the tp2 today? Does anyone know if this is the case, and where to get it? I could not find anything on HTC's site re WM6.5.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quarintus:
Noone knows a thing. Everyone expects the release to be tomorrow. But since some providers are already releasing it today, who knows?

There isn't any hard evidence to say when it's going to come out.

I asked htc tech support the 6.5 question. They responded in minutes. That's a response speed I certainly did not expect! Very good, though I'm sure they are fed up answering the same question...

They've advised they are currently dealing with the license packges from microsoft (whatever that means), but no release date was mentioned. Doesn't sound far away though.

Hi,

I have downloaded on HTC Support site an update for my TP2 from Orange.

The file is named RUU_Rhodium_Orange_FR-B2B_1.19.73.5_Radio_Rhodium_3.45.25.14_Signed_Ship.exe dating October 1st 2009....

Can anyone tell me if it's WM 6.5 ? Or just an update of my 1.19.73.3 (51489) WM6.1 ?

Thanks

EDIT : Stupid question after reading at Microsoft that the WM 6.5 availability date is not yet known....

Sorry
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nukleuzN:

This is a message on HTC's website:

If you have a phone from Orange or another provider though HTC won't be providing the update (not too sure I have much faith in Orange to provide an update).

http://www.htc.com/europe/press.aspx?id=112024&lang=1033

Availability

The HTC Touch2, Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 are available through selected operators across Europe now and will be rolling out to other regions in the coming months.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] B3RL1N:
Did anyone else wake up this morning to a 6.5 update?

No really, I woke this morning and slapped my TP2 to shut off my alarm to be alarmed myself, I had a Windows Update telling me to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5. I pretty much crapped myself at that point, it started off and gave my the orange installation screen, than after a minute or two it gave me an installation failed message.

After that I frantically tried running Windows Update but the connection timed out continuously. Just wondering if I am the only to receive this?

If this happens tomorrow I promise pictures, but was this an isolated incident? Or did everyone else get this via Microsoft?

As much as I want 6.5, I'm in no rush, the internet is on fire with "6.5 sucks" stories. I personally just want TouchFlo3D 2.5, that twitter integration is calling my name.

/firstpost
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mirage22:
HTC sure plays spoil sport - with expectations.

(i know they never told they will release the update on 6th, but when a date was announced by microsoft the two companies should have worked together to release the updates for every phone in their list. This is so not good for their PR).

I really dont see how microsoft expects to win the mobile phone war. By the time they come out with WinMO 7, they will again be miles behind, if all they could manage was a shoddy job at winmo 6.5 which apparently has nothing great to talk about - except IE - and who uses it anyway!)

I stuck to winmo all these years, as 5 years ago it was a good business phone and it also supported bberry.

This year i finally split and bought a bberry as there was no update for TP2 coming for months. - again, its a function of marketing - keep customers happy. I know there has never been a promise by htc on integrating bberry software on winmo, yet, after a point, people start expecting.

Somehow these giants just dont get it when it comes to customer service and marketing. Microsoft has definitely lost a customer the day i split and bought a second phone which is a pure bberry. The next upgrade, i will skip winmo entirely and look at the offerings from android and webos...

live long and prosper microsoft - if u can!....

Hi,

I bought a HTC Touch Pro today from ebay, all working fine and everything. So I go to flash to the latest energyrom, using this guide:

http://lievenvw.wordpress.com/2008/...c-diamond-or-htc-touch-pro-with-a-custom-rom/

It starts, then has an error saying it was unable to flash and i should check my devidce etc. I look at my phone and it has a whit background and it just says 'Loading ...'. I had to take out the battery to get it back on again.

Everything is fine, my phone works, but I don't think I can flash anymore.

I then read this guide:

http://lievenvw.wordpress.com/2008/...c-diamond-or-htc-touch-pro-with-a-custom-rom/

When i got to this step:

Enter bootloader mode on your phone:

While the device is booting up or with the device turned on, press and hold the volume down button along with the power button, then press the reset button with the stylus tip, then release the volume down and power buttons when bootloader tricolour screen appears.

Everything was fine the tricolour appeared and the text, then suddenly it went back to 'Loading ...'

I really want to flash my phone, and i'm worried I won't be able to know. Ive tried hard reset, but it didn't do anything. Is there anything else I can do?

I've left the loading screen for 20 minutes, i don't think it's doing anything...

If anyone could help me that would be amazing.

Cheers

EDIT:

I just tried flashing with the default firmware, as guided here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=410150

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] benayed:
I had this issue

I had this issue with a Fuze that I had about a week ago.

It comes with a newer version of bootloader.

All you have to do is remove the Sim card and SD Card before you flash. That made the black fading go away and flashing succeeded.

Start by installing Hard SPL first. Once that is in they you can start flashing the rom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:

Hi everybody,

I´m getting started with programming for my Touch DiamondII.

My first project is a simple countdown/stopwatch with some functions, every simple smartphone contains...

But the input by finger is a little bit complicaded. So i tried to use a ContextMenu, which pops up and I can scroll through the 24 or 60 values.

Additional I got two buttons to raise or decrease the values. Evan the input by keyboard should be possible.

You gotta go a long way round, to overwrite the Textbox and the Menu as well.

There are several problems with absence of events like "Textbox_Click" and similar things. I don´t want to reinvent the wheel...

Is there a more simple way to find a nice, fast way to Input predefined Values?

Thanks a lot!!!
