The phone only shows the number of characters left, when you are near the limit of the number of characters the message has , it shows the count of the last 10 characters to make a total of 145.

If you pass the 145 ch it will always show the the character counter in the up right corner of the typing box.(but if you type in landscape mode, it doesn't show the count)

Can someone explain how to get the manila files off the verizon touch pro 2? I cant see the windows folder from my computer when the phone is connected. Is their another way to see the windows folder containing the manila files so I can back them up and modify them? Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ohyeahar:
I use Resco Explorer to locate all files containing the word "manila" in the filename under the Windows directory. Then I copy and paste them over to my SD card. Then just connect to PC to extract them from SD card.

I was wondering what memory card would you guys recommend? I was looking in amazon and I found good deals on 16gb but they were only class 2.. if that even matters?! all help is appreciated!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Taurmindo:
i got one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-microSDHC-TS16GUSDHC6E-Frustration-Free-Packaging/dp/B0026L7DGA

and have had no problems whatsoever. wasn't very pricey if i recall correctly either.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
I got a 16GB Class 6 from Newegg.com.

It was an Adata...it's been fine for me. I don't know how much the speed matters, but I figured why not get the fastest if it's only $15 difference (at the time, anyway).

The spec for SDHC supports up to 32GB. So if TP2 supports SDHC, then it should be able to work with 32GB microSD card.
[HTC Excalibur] crz6662:
been searching posts for hours, have'nt yet seen this subject/problem covered. with the dark backgrounds on most of these roms, it makes it very hard if not impossible to view info on the screen outside in sunlight. i've used homescreen rebuilder to make my own w/white background and it's very good in the sun but it switches to a different homescreen. i know you can tweak some colors but any other options out there ?

S620 using ROM 3VO.2.90.092509. really love this one, very nice.
[HTC Excalibur] ramfan43:
what is homescreen rebuilder?

Hi

I too have wondered about the display on my S620 while in sunlight. I was wondering if there was anything that could be done to make it easier to read the screen while outside. You mentioned homescreen rebuilder. What is that and how do I get it? I have been looking for something to make it easier to read the display while in direct sunlight. Thanks!:)
[HTC Excalibur] crz6662:
hey ramfan43, all the posts i've read here can't find anyone with the same gripe. google "madbeetle", click on 1st result_ madbeetle.com. it's called Homescreen Builder. actually found it on a freeware site. it's a bit limited but you have to check for yourself. i designed just a couple w/white backgrounds and really improved viewing outdoors. just switch back and forth. i literally can't see the screen to make a call. hopefully a better solution out there. can't be just me.
[HTC Excalibur] rilbel:
I am having the same issue. I can't see the screen in sunlight and I need to go in shadow to do anything.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Big Hands :D

Cover over like visor ;)
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Wow! LMAO Stylez... :p

Anyways, why is this such an issue. Wasn't it 'resolved' earlier on by mentioning to make the background brighter? Besides that, there is not much to do...the screen was not designed for the sunlight, it was designed to illuminate/create an image as much as possible, and it does that...any reflection, sunlight, or fading issues in the screen are just hardware (as far as this thread is concerned).

I say that the only permanent solution that is both cheap and easy is Stylez haha, if it bothers you that much, cover it with your hand...

OR

Just don't use it when you are outside! Being outside is when you should be one with nature, not separated both socially and physically from the real world by the means of an electronic device....

Those are my 2 (or more) cents.
[HTC Excalibur] crz6662:
Guess I threw one you guys can't solve. i've done the "cover the screen with your hand thing" it does'nt help much. thought the idea of a cell phone was so you "could" use it outside. i learn fast and when i figure out how to make my own ROM or tweak someone elses, i'll do it myself. i don't know enough yet but seems to me all that needs to be done is design with lighter backgrounds or the ability to switch the homescreen colors. anyone tell how to tweak the color on 3VO EXCA 6.5 ? very, very nice ROM.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
All of what you want to do with regards colours is simps, change wallpaper in settings, if using 6.5 make taskbar same colour also mentioned in a thread, if using standard taskbar then basehue changes colour.

With regards cooking own ROM goodluck :)

I use the opposite dark homescreens and can still use phone in sunlight via the diy hand :D

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lowrez01:
I'm creating this thread in hopes no one who owns a MyTouch, in America, on T-Mobile with a perfected SPL doesn't have to go through the brain numbing process I've just adventured through over the past week.

Special thanks to Amon_RA and Radix999 who have compiled an impressive set of information on this topic. I would have been totally lost without their contributions to this forum.

Setup:

You'll need a brand-spanking-new MyTouch 3G, 1.6 updated, un-modded, perfected SPL [Mine was: HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)]. To find out if your SPL is perfected power your phone off: press the vol button down > hit the power button > compare the info listed in fastboot (white screen with three skateboarding Androids) to Amon_RA's list of SPL's. If you have done anything to your phone before attempting this process go consult someone who knows wtf they are doing. I don't, but I rather tell people how this went down for me.

How I Rooted my MT3G:

1. Get your phone back to 1.5 cupcake by whatever means necessary. I used these directions: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/

2. Follow these steps to root your device: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/. When you are done with this process you should have Amon_RA's recovery and boot loader all setup. This will allow you to format your SD card to whatever file system you want, flash roms, do nandroid backups, the works.

3. Go to Amon_RA's thread about SPL's: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529019

and download a Engineering SPL for your phone. (Engineering SPL 1.33.2004 by Crios worked for me)

4. Edit the SPL file name to "update.zip"

5. Load the SPL to the root of your SD card.

6. Load up RA's boot loader. (Power + Home)

7. Wipe / Clear from the boot loader menu.

8. Apply update.zip from the boot loader menu.

9. Wait for the phone to reboot, all kinds of whacky **** will happen, don't mess with the device, etc. Eventually you should reboot into recovery mode. Whatever you do - figure out how to get to recovery mode.

10. Wipe / Clear from the boot loader menu.

11. Format the SD VIA boot loader.

12. Load a new / favorite ROM onto the SD. (I use Blueberry Hero)

13. Install the Rom VIA boot loader.

14. Crack open a beer.

No gold card, fastbook, no crazy 40 step process. There may be some security issues or something involved with this process. Whatever the case, whatever the politics are between XDA/unlockr - this WORKED for me from a

STOCK

1.6 device.

With a little bit of reading you should either have turned your phone into a 400$ brick or a happy little Hero pumping Android phone.

Cheers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] byt3b0mb:
donut

if you have donut 1.6, the one click root doesnt work. You may have had the .006 SPL but in Android 1.6 the exploit that one click used is corrected.

From 1.6 - unlockr explains in detail how to get back to 1.5 in the link listed above.

Interface is a little wonky with his custom buttons... but it's faster than Max's Hero rom for me.

The key for me is no following anyones directions. I just load the ROM onto my properly formatted SD (done via boot loader) > Install the .zip file via boot loader. Done.

Note: Just remember to download the right version of the rom. (A or B)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ashyou:
what do you mean by "Wipe / Clear from the boot loader menu"?

is it select the "wipe data/factory reset? or "wipe sd:..."?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rydr1:
What he means is data wipe from the options in the boot loader before you update in that section.

I used these procedures and I am now running Hero Rom. thanks man.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cashmony:
so what's the point of doing this? My HBOOT is 1.33.0006 same as lowrez but i've been able to run roms with no problem. sorry for the noob ques.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wolfcrowell:
Confirmed the update.zip method.

This worked on my Mytouch which was previously rooted but running a perfected spl not allowing fastboot operations. SPL was changed to 004 and Dwang's ROM is working fine with Amon_Ra's 1.2.3 recovery.

Good work dude.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
thanks for the how too... worked great for me... running Engineering SPL 1.33.2009... :D thanks again!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BlackElvis79:
I've run Eugene373's 2.0, MLIGN's 3.1.1, and am now running OTPA 3.0, and I have yet to tinker with the SPL. Only problems I've had is with MLIGN's Hero, the screen would get all blurry, which is why I switched to OTPA.

What I'd like to know, is in your opinion, what are the advantages of switching SPL's? Is it just to enable fastboot? After each instillation, the least internal mem. i was left with was 288mb so it's not a space issue, like the G1, correct?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mwheeler2:

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] EmualDave:
can you please explain more about installing the rom via boot loader? which option to use and what should the file name be?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nicknowsky:
dude if your device is rooted, you can flash any ROM with .0006. There is no need to do this. The 1-Click root worked fine way way back when I did. There hasnt been a ROM that I haven't been able to flash.

I guess this can be useful for people who are still buying the old myTouch 3G (which is dumb, with all the new devices out there now)

[Touch HD General] spikeyl:
Hi all

Slightly different to Gadgetwing's problem earlier today, i am finding i am getting data connection seemingly randomly turning itself on. I have assumed its a MMS being sent through but nothing seems to arrive. Im pretty sure its not the weather or gps updates (i dont have these automatically updating). It doesnt happen often, but it did happen when i was abroad* and i wasnt sure whether actual data was being transferred that i will be paying for! Soft resets seem to solve the problem at the time, but im wondering whether its doing it when i am not noticing.

Im aware i can turn off MMS/internet connections manually with HDtweak, but any idea why it might be doing this?

Ive had my Touch HD around 6 months - its a stock ROM i dont have much installed (tomtom, Ms reader). I tend to only use the internet using wifi. I havent installed anything recently - the only change has been to ask Orange to turn roaming on. Last time it happened i was texting at the time.

TIA

* although not as bad as i travelled from the UK to Italy with my XDA IIs and it managed to dial out back home whilst in my pocket and leave a long message on my answer phone at an extornate cost!

Just want start a little thread to collect a list of good programs that use mobile phone camera for input and OCR(Optical character recognition) for output of a text document...

Especially searching for hand written text recognition tool!!!

Here is initial list:

ScanR

This is an app wich can make a black and white copy of uploaded documents. it´s also possible to send the results as fax.

Another nice feature is to scan vcards.

OCR now!

this is an online service to convert a picture into a document (pdf, doc, txt).

It also handels formated text with pictures! (this is not WinMo software)

There is also this SDK(Abbyy software is known as best OCR tool in the world): http://www.abbyy.com/sdk/?param=56223

But I haven't managed to find any software which uses it yet though

I didn't test these OCR programs, but I wonder how would these work with devices that have poor close-range focus?

Also most of what HTC produced the last few years were devices with autofocus, not really good at "seeing" close little letters.
[General Topics] VelikiMeshtar:
SE X1 have -document mode with autofocus (set to macro) on camera... and photos are really good, and suitable for OCR recognition process!!!

TopSoft, Ltd a leader in providing low cost Mobile OCR technology would like to announce the forthcoming availability of the TopOCR SDK for Mobile Devices. The TopOCR Mobile SDK targeted for Windows Mobile contains a complete Visual Studio 2005 project ready to build out of the box with full source code to the application. An Alpha version of the executable is available here (3.4 MB), as well as instructions for using the binary, and a sample test image.

SDK Target Platform

Windows Mobile 6.0

GCC CLI Embedded

Scheduled Release Date

January 2010-March 2010

The Beta R3 release is incomplete from a functionality standpoint, but can provide an evaluation of TopOCR SDK performance (accuracy and speed). The SDK supports camera images of up to 5 MP in size. Please note the following limitations:

* Only English supported

* No Deskew or Perspective Correction

The final release will replace the limitations with the following:

* Eleven languages supported

* Deskew and Perspective Correction using inline fixed point arithemetic

* Minor bug fixes and optimizations

Compare the speed, accuracy, and features of the TopOCR SDK, then compare the price and you'll see that it is the best and most cost effective solution for your OCR development needs.

People have complain on topocr. It somehow doesnt runproperly and there is problem with uninstalling it from WM

Too bad that nothing else jet emerged... Cause this combination could be jack pot for all business users.
