Seems like in the woods (geocaching), the GPS really fails to track anything. If you move slower than 1mph, it really doesn't update your location, and you can be walking for a mile. Walk faster and it'll find your location lickety split.

I get a fix in about 15 seconds on the second floor of my house with my Raphael. It just hates tracking when you're walking slow. :/
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] r04d5t3r:
Interesting... Now I know why my raph gets a fix faster when in a moving car, rather than when I sit at home :p

And yes, running QuickGPS before Google Maps really helped me a lot...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] menomenic:
So that is why i can't get a fix in the woods i need to move fast really fast to get a fix.

So raphael gps is only useable in my car.

But what will happen if whe use the htc hd2 gps drivers on the raphael ?

If this makes the raphael gps better why not trying it out?

I would like to port it to the raphael but i don't have the know how to do it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
Those drivers won't work on your device. The hardware is different. I can't even use Topaz GPS drivers on my device without breaking GPS completely.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] menomenic:
Thank you captain for your answer.

So i now know it won't work because of the hardware now i can spend the time on something else.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] aswinm16:
in my opinion , the one and only one downside of whole manila 2.5 is its messaging app..i dont understand why its so buggy..i have seen htc messaging in manila 2.1 quite good and effective..no reason why htc has changed a stable messaging version to a buggy one...

hey guys any fix would be sooo welcome....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] d.cortez:
you do know that significant fixes/improvements will have to come from HTC and not the cooks. also, keep in mind that manila 2.5 has been designed to work with the HD2's faster processor and not the slower HD processor.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] crashDebug:
i'll venture further saying that the chefs DO NOT HAVE THE SOURCE CODE to manila or windows mobile for what it matters. they can do some tweaking some conf changes etc but cannot rewrite the software
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ANDYx1975:
Buy a Leo and everything will work fine. It was never designed for Blackstone. It's not slow...our devices are slow!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bnlf:
windows mobile is slow....the hardware is fast enough for a bunch of things. dont take me wrong here i like winmobo but the "genious" in microsoft dont care much about user experience...hope win7 fix some of our issues.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Spoofy:
I second this, Look at the newer releases and you will notice changes to the stability of the messaging app. Yes it still a bit slow, have you seen the iPhone load a decent conversation history? Slow messaging app when theres more than 100 sms, thats why they needed the 3GS. A little lag isn't too bad considering the Leo's specs.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gbjack:
HTC Messaging looks cool but is useless when you use programs that send SMS with it. It simply will not work. The program needs to be updated to HTC standard. But isn't HTC ought to folllow WM standard? By creating imncompatiblity of not using Standrd, HTC will create a floodgate of problems in the years to come.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] skulk3r:
honestly, if they could use Manilla 2.5 with the Manila 2.1 messaging, it would be fine

i love everything about 2.5..it's just the messaging. unfortunately...that's a big problem with no fix =[. for now, WinMo messaging is fine =]

love the new calendar, the new buttons, etc..much more friendly
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] abwyatt:
Yes, It has already broken many anti-theft software like Remote Tracker and Sprite Terminator which intercept incoming SMS.

They work fine on M2.1's HTC messaging, but not with M2.5.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eddyve:
I hope that this remark is very old, because you need to read the LEO forum. The problem is also on a new LEO device! Disabling HTC messaging gives you the old M$ outlook back, but it removes functionality in contacts, clicking on "send message" doesn't take you to SMS! I hope somebody can make a solution for this.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Terrorhuhn:
theres one thing I dont understand

When you click in manila at "All messages" in TF3D2.5, then we come in the new HTC styled SMS overview.

I don't understand why the kinetic scrolling of this SMS overview is such unfunktional:

When you slide fast with your finger, it scrolls fast, smooth and normal.

But when you slide slow, it scrolls very strange...

Its very smooth and all, but its very strange... so slow...

But not slow in case of too weak hardware. Like issue in kinetic scrolling software.

I think the only problem of TF3D 2.5 is, that we need a file out of a Leo dump that we don't have.

Because the effects alone are not such special that we need Leo hardware.

Which API does TF3D 2.5 use? OpenGL, .NET?

pim.vol file caching experiment for performance improvement

guys, correct me if I'm wrong here.

the SMS Messages are stored in pim.vol file (not exactly sure what's the corresponding MMS Messages file) located at the root directory. It is excluded from being cached by fsreplxfilt.dll (File Replication for Persistent Storage) StorageManager filter.

What if pim.vol is being cached, will it improve HTC Messaging performance?

This modification however, must be cooked into XIP (with modified boot.rgu / boot.hv) for full effect, even though the registry is here:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt]
"NumDirsToExclude"=dword:d
"DirsToExclude"=multi_sz: "\\mxip_initdb.vol",
"\\mxip_system.vol",
"\\mxip_notify.vol",
"\\mxip_lang.vol",
"\\cemail.vol",
[B]"\\pim.vol",[/B]
"\\Documents and Settings\\",
"\\Program Files\\",
"\\Windows\\",
"\\Application Data\\",
"\\ConnMgr\\",
"\\mxip_swmgmt.vol",
"\\Temp\\"

Have anyone / any chef willing to try to cook a ROM and Not Exclude pim.vol to be cached and see if that improves the performance? Although there might be side effect such as loss of data, but it may help to improve HTC Messaging performance?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] d.cortez:
doesn't matter if my comment is old/new. :) i still believe fixes/enhancements will still have to come from HTC. it's unfortunate that HD2 owners are suffering the same poor performance. it's my hope that performance will be improved by the time the HD2 makes it to the USA. (ok, so i'm dreaming, lol).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MaXyM:
B.S. Mobile outlook works really fast with the same set of SMS, on which HTC Messaging is just dying. So it is not about device power but about bad programming.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] skulk3r:
you'll notice that the WM outlook is only loading about 5-10 messages before you have to click "older" or "newer" instead of loading all the messages like how Sense 2.5 is trying to do. I believe that the windows way of doing it is better, but once again, that's something that HTC has to do.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eddyve:
I suggest that you read the Leo forum and you will see that these users are also complaining about the slow speed of HTC Messaging. It is not about the hardware, it is about the software!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] THEAnarch1st:
I agree with the above, if I keep my stored message below a 20-30 limit on the device for each contact I have absolutely no problem with the messaging speed, it's as quick as I need it to be.

All my messages are synced to MS MyPhone, so if I need anything i've previously deleted from the device, I can login and go to the archive section and find it or search for it if I don't remember when it was.

I don't see the need for people to store 100's of messages on there device now, when the MyPhone service works perfectly. (i get that people don't have a data connection etc, but if you've forked out for this phone then why not!).

The device does become unbearable if you have more than a few hundred messages, I restored 2000 messages to the device and it became sluggish, this is clearly visible by the scroll bar on the right (when you load a contacts conversation). If you watch the scroll bar, it will get smaller and smaller the more messages it loads, during the loading process with hundreds of messages it is virtually impossible to use the device as it stutters and jumps around until it finishes loading the messages, which it does everytime you load that contact, regardless of if you've been into them before or not. Therefore by keeping your active messages on your device to a minimum you have a speedy and lovely interface to use.

I'm currently using the Energy 28004 rom, but i've been using the above method since Miri first started with the Touch Friendly branch of WinMo and MS released MyPhone and it's worked perfectly.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MaXyM:
Yes. It is exactly what I meant.

More, I'm not talking about browsing single SMS thread. I usually communicate via SMS with about 20 people. HTC messaging dies when browsing this list - the list contains only a few people list and the last message for each of them. I really cannot understand what makes it too hard to show.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] THEAnarch1st:
Unfortunately thats not been my experience although everyone is different or we wouldn't be here :D. The first screen which lists your messages is fairly quick to load once i've loaded it once. I do add it to exclusive so it doesn't close though, so it only loads once at the start. If i kill the task and start it up again it does go slow, but other than that it does appear to be fine.

I currently have 10 threads each with about 100 messages in total and i've just tested and it takes about 2 seconds to populate from first load (messaging ended via task manager) and then it's less than a second each time i load it up after that.

Are you storing your contact pictures on a storage card? (shouldn't really affect the speed as i'd guess your SD card is pretty fast). But it could be contributing if you have contact pictures. For reference mine are on the storage card.

What rom are you using? i'd suggest giving the energy rom a try if you haven't and see what you think as it is definitely the quickest i've used.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] maesus:
Guys,

Try this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5024178&postcount=389

a Manila mod to "limit" the number of messages to display on a page, based on the older HTC Messaging Client as was in Manila 2.1. That's exactly what you all wish for? :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ToS_phoenix:
thx for this advice..missed the function for sms sync in exchange, but this looks ok to make backups of your sms, etc..

well..i'd like to now if HTC Messaging is this slow in the android version of SenseUi too? can't get my hands on a HTC hero or so, so if anyone knows this?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miniterror:
wonder why nobody repys this:-o

he might have a good point that ive you cache that file it speed ups a whole lot faster

not sure tho as i aint a cook so dont know ive it will make a good build
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ToS_phoenix:
seems like xanny tried it with his roms and it didn't work out..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Logicalstep:
I'm using the 6.5 maryone rom and it's the same issue with all the SENSUI i've tried.

This is not a hardware thing, if this phone can stream live videa and browse grphically complex website you think it should have trouble with loading a few message.....no

It has to be some programing problem, or an incompatibility between manilla and WM.

It'll get fixed, eventually!

I used the hero and from what I've seen it's FAST! much faster than any windows mobile I've ever used.

I wonder if it's because the core OS integration is designed for feature being changed, rather than WM which seem to just allow 'on-top' apps.

Logicalstep
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dharvey4651:
I beg to differ. I DO have a Leo and HTC Messaging still gets slow... After about 30 SMS in a single conversation it starts getting laggy.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] matic1982:
I agree, HD is not slow, software is slow. Scrolling text is at least hardware demanding. Compared to streaming videos and sliding pictures this should be a piece of cake.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehmetkoksal:
After I've upgraded my TD2 to Win 6.5 mobile with the official rom, I realised that everytime I wake up my phone from stand by or go back from dialer and some menu windows; the flip clock flips from 1 hour 1 minute past to the original time. e.g. if the time is 19:25; when I wake up from stand by I see 18:24 and then clock flips to 19:25 immediately.

Not a big issue but could not get used to.

Any solution to this would be great?

Thanks,
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OracleBlue:
I agree with you. It's annoying. I often just turn on the phone to check the time and it's not automatic. I have to wait until it quits flipping.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilal671:
Yeah i agree, its bloody annoying. Anyone know a way to stop it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstackar:
There's a tool for the touch HD, called manilla tweaker or something like that, that does that, but I can no longer find it. I agree completely: it's very annoying

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geofflyons:
I'm in the same boat.

Just plain OEM WinMob 6.5 from HTC. Nothing added at all.

I get that annoying clock flip. Its annoying. I thought it was the DAYLIGHT saving being applied and also simply the minutes being refreshed. Perhaps I just thought this to save myself from going mad..... but it's annoying :'(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurtleTech:
Upgrade your rom to duttys, I did this tonight. Much improved.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henfeb:
hmm i was thinking of flashing dutty's rom...but reading the many postings of bugs scared me away.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requiem202:
TESS 3.7 or later also fixed this
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotthubbard:
I suffered the same problem with the official ROM, and many more besides.

I have gone back to using the Topaz Essentials (TESS) version 3.7. It's very close to stock but with none of the issues. It's very fast and very good with the memory mangement so i would reccommend it anytime.

By the way, in a working ROM what is supposed to happen is the active weather screen gets re-activated, the official ROM has a bug that instead flips the clock.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munrobasher:
I'm hoping that Microsoft & HTC keep on the ball with all of these and release a series of fixes ASAP.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surgent:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sualc:
If you google "flip clock fix" within the forum you will get at least a couple of interesting threads talking about this totally useless "feature". Anyway note that many cooks have fixed this in their respective ROMs, included the one in my signature (available also in english)

Looking Awesome

http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/31/new-sony-ericsson-rachael-ui-video-hits-still-looks-nothing-lik/

Seriously... this is exactly something which Android needs... It looks beautiful and it will appeal to not only the "Mobile Geek" market but the average standard market too... it purely being a Sony Ericsson will help it alot aswell.

I wonder if HTC will have any involvement in the Xperia X3 as they did with the X1 meaning that XDADevs will have a forum for it?

EDIT: For anyone who doesn't know, the "leaked" specs on this device are:

256mb RAM

512MB Rom

1ghz Snapdragon Processor

4 inch touchscreen

Micro SD Port

8mp camera

0.3mp secondary camera (video calling)

I am simply trying to find the updated instructions.

Cyanogen links to Simple-help (http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/10/04/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-4-1-99-on-your-g1-android-phone/) which requires the use of the flashrec.apk file which has since been patched.

Other instructions provide steps to upgrade from a previous ROM or assume the phone is already rooted.

And lastly, there is this 2 year old link (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480) that uses telnet, which I thought was patched.

It would appear that the cynanogen cease and desist happened in Oct but I do not see any complete instructions (from a nonrooted perspective) since then.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

[Palm Treo Pro] wizardknight:
I hope that someone might be able to give me a suggestion. I am having a very odd problem with my GPS. I have the same issue with google maps, tomtom7, and garmin apps.

I can not get a gps lock, and garmin and tomtom show no gps device. If I do a soft reset the unit will get a lock on 7+ sat in under a min. Then about 1 min later I loose all connection and the apps are again no longer able to talk to the gps. I can reset the unit and the whole process will repeat.

It is almost like the gps is going into a power save mode.

I know that tomtom has to have the gps primed, but garmin and google maps have always worked well for me in the past.

I am using the standard com port 4/4800 with win set to handle gps connections.

I am hoping that someone might know a fix. My next step is to do a hard reset, but I don't really want to do that after getting my phone the way I like it.

Help please :)
