[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jamesyb0i:
With the new Astro file manager program it included a task manager that shows chinese touch input as an idle program consuming 15mb of memory.

I use taskkiller but this program starts again when using normal text input

I'm curious is there a method to remove or disable chinese support for people who never use it and reclaim some free memory?

I've created a thread here in hopes that someone with the right know how can help out. the orginal thread can be found here....http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=345071

It as become a huge annoyace to continuesly click "download images" for my mail. I've been searching for a long time find a reg key some where that'll change this, but no look. in the ogirnal thread, there is mention that the samsung i8000 has the setting disabled by default. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4631247&postcount=29

can anyone lend a hand with this one?

This question was asked way back in June 07!

It does give an explanation in the thread as to why you might not want to automatically download messages... basically you could suddenly find you are swamped with even more junk mails..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramontrotman:
i am not even sure how to make sense of what was said in that thread. I dont see how allowing automatic download for html images in an email will increase spam to the mail account. at this point in the game, winmo is the only platform that doesnt allow html rendering by default. if this were true, then woulding everyone else who doesnt use a windows mobile device be flooded with spam?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3it3r:
Umm... pretty sure that my GMAIL account handles the SPAM ok.

I'm still going to look into this a bit more, but I have been super busy today.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] johnk1973:
As i understand what is said, spam senders send messages to accounts generated at random hoping some of them get to a proper account. The pictures that are in the email are encoded with email address it is sent to eg. pic1_johnsmith@hotmail.jpg so that if you download that image the server knows that is a valid email address and is noted.. and spread for everyone else to send you a message...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tocdco:
Yes... that's exactly correct....except it goes to a server not an email address... basically the concept is that it notifies the sender that the email is legit, and adds them to the list of good email addresses to sell
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramontrotman:
like l3it3r said, my spam filter does a great job. can't tell you the last time i've seen spam come through my inbox. thats a none issue over here.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] shappy0869:
me either. It is a very rare occasion when I get spam in either my corporate or personal email.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] newone757:
if thats a problem we could atleast try to have an option to "trust this sender" or something to automatically download html pics from trusted sources
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nicky:
have added this thread to my subscriptions and will watch with interest :)

This is something that I have found annoying for a long time now that I can't just download the images in my emails by default. I really expected it to be an easy fix and that I would find an answer straight away along the lines of "...change this one line of the registry to '0' ... " so I was really surprised to see it was a much more complicated issue.

Anyway thanks in advance to anyone with the tech knowhow who is looking into this for us all :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bnm7bnm:
maybe its possible to make some script or something that presses automaticly "download pictures" when email opened... i have no idea how or if its possible but maybe someone can...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] FileFixer:
For Outlook on desktop computer this is possible on registry hack. On mobile outlook this registry key is not persist...?!

Maybe is possible on other location?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] knivesout:
I'm looking for a solution to this as well. I would like the option to trust certain senders, at least. I can't believe Microsoft didn't trust us enough to give us an option for this. I would also like to have scrolling permanently enabled.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] earthtodigi:
If you add the sender to your contacts, it will automatically download the images. This is the only way I have ever known to make this work, it would be great if someone figured it out, but until then this is the only work around I know.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] devalian:
i would like to have this function as well.. is great that my email mostly need image downloaded together.. when i got slow connection, i would like it to download all n internet picture together while it is idle. then once i got time i can faster read it all without further waiting for downloading.

thumbs up for this feature. at least have an option so that user can tweak themselves. no nid to argue about anything but juz let user make the choice accordingly.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] KryptosXLayer2:
DEFINITELY need to have this automatically download internet pictures AND turn on scrolling..... what's the point of having such a great screen and touch capabilities when the stupid email can't figure out how to show you pictures and let you scroll right?

HUGE oversight on Microsoft's part there - email should look as nice and classy as Opera does on my TP2!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] XinoXino:
UP !!! :eek:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nimche:
I am still looking over this. Its really annoying and kills me. What a waste?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ThymeCypher:
Okay, here's where a long blog of details comes in.

Everyone is on the right track here as to why pictures are disabled, but not entirely. Trusting internet pictures and auto-showing them has multiple issues. One, they can contain multi-platform viruses, as most companies use the latest (which may not be the latest by the time you get the software) versions of libPNG, libGIF, libTIFF, etc. When a buffer overflow works in one, it usually works in all.

Second is the issue with images containing get variables. Truly, no picture shown on an e-mail should contain get variables, and these are how tracers are made. Say, "image.png?your@email.com" is the href for the image, or maybe even just a simple ID number. This is actually a PHP script that sends custom headers (mime-type: image/jpeg) followed by the hexidecimal data of the image. What returns (what you see) isn't what always happens. They can in fact, as previously stated, access that value after the ? mark, and apply it to a "good e-mail" database. Why not just design an e-mail client to not support that? Security works both ways: A website may setup information in a photo to prevent textual leaking. For example, "image.php?your@email.com" might return "Your user ID is [Image]." This just goes back to needing a "trusted" area.

Third, Pocket Outlook has no control over how that is displayed. In fact, checking the registry reveales a series of connectors, editors, etc. When you compose a new MMS, you may notice that the interface is different on every phone, but is always ran inside messaging.exe. The same goes for SMS, E-mail, etc. Samsung may have got complaints, and decided to, using Platform Builder, compile a build of the connector without this security.

Long story short, the only ways to fix this is are:

Find a new mail connector for your mail service

Using Platform Builder, make your own connector

Using Platform Builder, edit the Microsoft connector

Switch to a non-windows mobile phone

Switch to a windows mobile phone that has a connector configured this way

Use Pocket IE and webmail

If not for the expenses of daily life and difficulty of creating a custom connector, I'd gladly do it myself. If I had enough donations, I'd consiter it :)

[Windows Mobile Software Development] qtruq:
Same thing that happened to me. Like it just changed overnight or something. Only thing i can think of is that windows mobile downloaded some minor update that we don't know about lol. I do remember it asking me a while ago if i wanted to receive updates to windows mobile, and i clicked yes.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] viewsonic210:
Hello,

I have been looking for this ages from now. I cant believe that no one has addressed this issue till now...even the ROM-cookers, who could imho make/patch the responsible exe-file (maybe poutlook.exe) to not act like this, maybe with Platform Builder (?). What about extracting the poutlook.exe from this samsung-device which apparently doesnt have that restriction?

Okay..I wanted to share what I have found so far. The (imho) suspicious registryentries that might have to do something with that:

1.)

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\ProtocolDefaults

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3

this might be helpful cause its complicated (not mobile related)

support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B182569&x=9&y=10

2.)

HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings

here is a value called "ShowUrlConfSecurityDialog" which controls the behaviour when you are clicking a URL in an email. Maybe we have to put a new unknownnamed value here??

3.)

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

here is a value called "Display Inline Images" (wohoo...promising :)...but unfortunately it works only in PIE...Doh!...thought that the control in the emailwindow is a webbrowser-control (?)...it must have a similar option for the mailapp.

4.)

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies

not all options (!) are explained here:

w w w .xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/smartphone-policies.html

I hope someone finds this information useful or digs deeper to the problem to finally find a solution.

Regards

[Windows Mobile Software Development] seier:
I read the same ridiculous notion years ago. Sure having a picture validate an e-mail is an easier way to count/record specific valid e-mails, but if I write to 123123128937129037901231290@yahoo.com and that e-mail doesn't exist, yahoo will tell the e-mail that wrote to it that the address is invalid. Therefore any time you don't get an invalid e-mail response, you can assume you found a working e-mail address. So I guess my point is we can go ahead and load pictures, because the bad guys will know we have a valid e-mail either way. Yes, not loading pictures is more secure, but Windows Mobile is way secure in the first place so it's really just a big pointless hassle (compared to any major desktop OS). I also think they do it for performance reasons, but cell data can be pretty quick.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] viewsonic210:
Hi...I think that "bad guys" aka spammers not only want to know that the e-mailadress is valid but that it is...active...e.g. if a spammer founds an emailadress at which the user actually opens and reads the spammail, then this emailadress is of more value than other "only-valid"-emailadresses.

So there is an argument to not automatically load the inline pictures of an HTML-Email from unknown origin...okay..but..please Microsoft let us decide on our own if we want that (security)feature or not. And till then..please hackers,geeks and windows-mobile-nerds and lovers...find a way to do that! There must be a way! (look at Flexmail btw)

[Windows Mobile Software Development] ironhead65:
This just started happening to me (or at least I just started noticing it). Now, if I get an e-mail with an image, I click the show images "link" that the Poutlook provides. My phone looks like it is downloading something, then flashes my screen for a second as it reloads the e-mail, however provides the SAME thing as prior to clicking the "get images" link.

Is there any information about why this happened? I don't mind clicking the link, as for me, sometimes I don't care, and just want to read the text. But I at least WANT the option.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] viewsonic210:
This is weird...I had this issue some days after you posted this on my HD2 running WM6.5.5. After a softreset it disappeard magically...perhaps its a bug (?). Remembers me of an issue I had some times ago when I played with the settings in the registry to load this damn pictures automatically...in that case that link didnt showed up in the email at all (!!)...and I didnt find out what registrysetting that was...had to hardreset...

Wondering that this really ancient thread wont die. Anyone in pursuit of a solution of the picture-loading-problem?? ...I personally doubt that, in times of Windows Phone 7 and co...BTW does this behaviour also take place on WP7???

[Windows Mobile Software Development] ezee_gee:
BUMP!!! any developments? ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] viewsonic210:
@ezee_gee:

I believe that there will never ever any new developments to this issue. Just because technology is moving on to new grounds, which I am personally no friend of (I'm referring to WP7).

But I hope that someone, someday merciful reminds the small and even getting smaller users of goold old windows mobile/WinCE 5/6.x and provides us with a solution. (yeah I know I'm ranting ;-)

Am I right with: "Windows Mobile is dying...slowly...silently...hard..and not with a vengeance"?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] ezee_gee:

anyways thank you for the reply my friend :D

[Wing, P4350 General] 93starletgt:
Hello, I want to get rid of the original rom and install WM6.5 I have been searching for hours but since there is that much information, now I got confused:confused:

I have a folder on the desktop with several programs that just don't open with Vista. Some of them work but I get errors.

My cellphone is SIM unlocked, got the code from T-mobile itself. As far as I understand, in order to install another rom I need to CID unlock the device.

I understand that I need to "hardspl" the device in order to accept another rom. I have followed a guide to hardspl a device but the links to download the software are corrupted.

I am running windows Vista with Windows Mobile device center installed and synched with the phone , I know most of these programs only work with XP.

Can anyone PLEASE tell me the direct link where I can download the correrct software for my wing to unlock the CID? and also, if it is possible to do it under Vista?

:) thanks for your help

Hello all,

I have a Vodafone Compact IV and want to flash WM6.5.

I was followed your description exactly, but after beginning to flash the Windows is crashing with blue screen and the phone is standing in white screen. I can soft reset it and everything is like before.

On the phone there is actually a WM6.1 from Vodafone Germany. My IPL and SPL is IPL 4.14.0001, SPL 4.14.0000.

Any tips for me ???

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Areinu:
I want to buy used TyTN 2, but the seller says that it has a problem: when connected to PC windows shows "detected unknown device" bubble, but that's it. Won't ActiveSync or anything.

There's pretty good contact with the seller so I could ask him to do some simple steps to find out whenever problem lies in hardware or just software, as I presume software problems would be fully fixable. Well, if it's most probably hardware problem then I won't even bother him, so if you think hopes are low, just say so :) If chances are it's software actually then I would be thankful for ideas what how to make sure.

Hi,

This app will check the weather and put a corresponding weather picture as your background.

I know, it's been done before. But not on the MotoQ smarthpone. This should work on portrait phones as well as ppc.

in the ini file you will need to edit your zip code under the weather, as well as the path to the images. I tried to make the path default to under weathpaper

What to expect?

Well as I mentioned above, it's going to check the weather and select the image that matches the weather and time of day.

Then it's going to open the image and assign it to the background. Here is the stickler. It uses the picture editor to install the background.

This may not work on certain phones. If you have some other camera or situation I would be glad to help fit it to yer phone.

If anybody was interested we could change the opacity at this time as well.

The WeatherPaper script which does most of the grunt work I left mostly intact. I just set it to grab the zip code and path from the ini.

Once you run it it will check every 30 minutes unless you change it in the ini.

Landscape 320x240 backgrounds are included. I will post a link to the source when i fill it in.

It's slightly more hearty. It tries to hide when it can.

There is a delay when you run it. This is so it can be run as a startup shortcut. It's all cause of targetting the softmenu's sub menu. If there are other processes this script may not succeed.

I may add more clean-up code if there are any residuals.

Now it won't change the image if the current image is still good. Also won't bother checking if phone is locked. We could have a retry delay if locked or no internet. If you have some other lock.exe they can be added.

It can be run once or set to autorun on phone bootup.

This also includes a weathPaperStartup script. this on u can shortcut to your startup folder. The setup app will do this automatically.

Enclosed are the landscape backgrounds. I will find the portrait version. Also the original links to the artist.

This version is set up for Landscape. You can use the config tool I provided to use a different directory. Also use you can set a diffferent default image for when the weather cant be reached.

- weathPaperSet.mscr - Settings script. This will also create the startup shortcut.

- weathPaper.mscr - Run this to change the background. It will check the weather and change the background if it can connect. It will exit quietly if the internet cant be reached or the background remains unchanged.

Whats next? WeatherTones. MoonPaper at night? Links, portrait version. auto install qvga landscape or portrait?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] howdykeith:
Here is the alternate build that uses the refresh command.

It does not work for me. Maybe it works for u?

This build requires Mortscript version 4.2.

The non refresh command version can be used with 4.2 and above.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] howdykeith:
I notice the refresh is not occuring at all? That will get fixed in the next version.

I should find the portrait version and originating link and maybe link straight to there for the backgrounds.

I think i also will add the function to set the default background to the time of day when there is no internet connection. Right now it goes to a default "no internet" background that u set.

I want to implement weathTones, sounds when the weather changes. I found it has been done before but the script is very old and dusty and may require quite a bit of shoe horning to get working with the new weather url. If need be I will need to add or switch to a different weather url?

Already made the next version so default image can be weather night and day image...

Seems Facade can switch background screens correctly. WPC got that working real goodly.

UPDATE:

just dumping the newest version of the script.

This script is way down the priority list on my projects atm.

Is there a way to increase the volume when you listen to music using mediaplayer or sound manager? I read about editing a file called audipara3.csv, but i don't know how to do it, and couldn't find any edited files. There are some on the site but they're for HTC Diamond, and i don't think it'll work on the Snap.
