[General Questions and Answers] mhs135:
I upgraded my gigabyte gsmart i128 to wm6.5 today. The OS works fine on ma fone till now.

My questions are:

1)In the file explorer, how to select multiple files? When I tap on afile and move the stylus up, the page scrolls down(in older versions of wm, we could select multiple files by this). Actually this scrolling feature is nice and usefull but there is no options for selecting multiple files. Can anyone teach me how to select multiple files in WM6.5?

2)I installed S2U2 in ma fone and set it to lock the fone when the backlight turns off(after 30 sec). Ok..that works fine. But when I start to play a song in WMP, it continues to play upto 30 secoonds and stops when the backlight turns off. When I again unlock the screen and click on the song, it resumes playing. Please can anyone advice me regarding this?

3)When S2U2 is not there, after 30 seconds, the fone's backlight turns only dim(doesn't turn off) and I set the settings such that to lock the fone when entering standby mode. But my fone doesn't enter this standby mode and continues this dimlight until we press a key or tap the screen. I think this consumes a lot of battery. Anyone please advice me..

These are my questions and I hope anyone 'll answer me soon..

I very often become irritated over accidentally touching the Volume buttons when not using the phone, for example when writing a text message in landscape mode, as touching the Volume buttons means changing the ringer status to for example vibrating or soundless.

Is is possible to disable the Volume buttons when not the using phone for calls?

I now that this means that I need to use the settings in order to change ringer volume etc.

Thank you in advance.

hello, i was wondering if there is a way to have your calls and texts go over wifi. the problem is that i dont get a signal in my windowless classrooms however there is open wifi. so basicly i figured there would be a simple switch in settings>connections>new>select modem to make my sprint service go over wifi instead of "cellular" (like t-mobile hot spot). the result being seamless voip that would send and recieve to my normal phone number. im aware of the sip config cab and thats a start for doing what i want to do, but like i said i would like it to be more "seamless". i dont know if this is possible or not but a simple no is not going to satisfy me so please explain why it wouldnt work.

I have a sprint diamond btw, idk how old my sig is...

I've been planning, and information-designing, for the past year a business venture which I will describe very vaguely at this point as:

A portal site & directory for all touchscreen platforms, devices, apps and carriers, targeted primarily at mainstream consumers ... and secondarily at app developer individuals and companies seeking clients for custom development. This directory cuts across the Apple iPhone platform, Android OS, WindowsMobile, Blackberry, Palm OS, (and whatever Nokia ends up with). And manufacturers including HTC, Motorola, SonyEricsson, Nokia, Samsung.

I'm a UX/ Usability Designer who's participated here for 4 years, first as a clueless new consumer with a T-Mobile MDA, to solid participant, with both broad and deep underdstandings of the touchscreen marketplace. My HTC Hero arrives tomorrow and I embark on my own personal exploration of and investment in the Android OS.

I'm now interviewing business/operational candidates who are experienced in leading and driving startup operations, and who absolutely love the full spectrum of this mobile industry.

If you are such a person, or have recommendations about such a person, please PM me. I live and work in San Francisco, CA, USA. Thank you
[G1 Accessories] alec.baldwin:
hmm.. your post does not quite make sense.. so you say a class 2 card in a G1 performs equally fast as a class 6. And that class rating has nothing to do with card speed....

A bit hard to believe....
[G1 Accessories] daveid:
Sigh... read this.

See how it says the Class Rating is the minimum read/write speed? Crazy that you would say it has nothing to do with speed. One thing though, manufacturers rarely advertise the MAX speed of the cards, which is why some Class 4 cards are equal or greater than some Class 6, also attributed to manufacturers claims of speed not being substantiated.

Insert foot in mouth, walk away.
[G1 Accessories] t1n0m3n:
Wow, so much misinformation there.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital

SD Cards and SDHC Cards have Speed Class Ratings defined by the SD Association. The SD Speed Class Ratings specify the following minimum write speeds based on "the best fragmented state where no memory unit is occupied"

Edit: Damn, daveid beat me to it.
[G1 Accessories] ofsinreno:
The minimum write speed that defines the class rating is not the minimum speed the card is guaranteed to read/write, but the minimum speed a device that can be used. If your device only writes at 4mb/sec you must use a class 4 or lower.

http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/d...ce between speed and class rating/r_id/101834
[G1 Accessories] daveid:
If you read the page you quoted, you would understand how you are wrong.
[G1 Accessories] t1n0m3n:
I would read that again if I were you.

It is saying that if you have a camcorder that requires a class 4 card and you put in a class 2, it may not function correctly.

Lower speed card in a camera that requires a higher speed = bad

Higher speed card in a camera that requires a lower speed = good
[G1 Accessories] ofsinreno:
I know the wording is a bit confusing on this issue. I had to call the tech support line at Sandisk when we first got the 16G class 4 cards myself to find out what the difference was. As a manager it is my responsibility to know what our customers need before issues arise. The explanation I am providing is the explanation I was given by both the tech support associate and the engineer I was later able to speak with. When I called Delkin to ask the same question I was told the same thing. If my information is incorrect I am sorry but it came directly from the horse's mouth.

I posted "A discussion"- at least we have that! I love xda :)
[G1 Accessories] rage2wrath:
What you are saying doesn't make any sense. By your logic a class 2 card would actually be better than a class 6. If that was true, why are they cheaper.
[G1 Accessories] daveid:
The problem with your argument is that based on your logic the following scenario would result in poor performance.

Let's just say I have a digicam that can only sustain a max write speed of 6mb/s. I purchase a class 10 card for it (because it is on sale, and has a bigger number).

Based on your explanation, that would result in worse performance than getting a class 6 card, or that it would not work at all.

However, class ratings have nothing to do with the Standard that SD is built on (and MicroSD), this standard requires devices to be compatible (the newer SDHC classification is an extension on the original SD standard that allows for higher capacity, this requires two devices that are SDHC compatible). ANY SD or MicroSD card should be compatible with ANY device that supports SD or MicroSD (respectively, and of course minding the HC requirements if needed).

In fact, the Class 10 card WILL work in a device that can only sustain 6mb/s speeds. Not only will it work, it will work just as well as the Class 6 would. But, it will provide better transfer speeds when utilized in a card reader or other device. Thus, making it the better choice.
[G1 Accessories] t1n0m3n:
So very generally (this doesn't apply to all cards, but probably a majority of them.) A Class 4, 100x card (if such a card existed) would probably sustained write to the card at 5MB/s and sustained read from the card at about 14MB/s. While a Class 6, 66x card would probably sustained write to the card at around 7MB/s and sustained read from the card at around 9MB/s. I can make this generalization because most of the time (not always though) reading from a microSDHC card is faster than writing.

But here is the kicker, a class 6 SDHC card is the maximum class at this time. Some class 6 cards could actually be "Class 10" if it existed. My class 6 SanDisk 8G would be one of these cards. I have benchmarked it at a sustained ~14MB/s write and ~20MB/s read. So that is why people are waiting for SanDisk Class 6 cards. Because generally, SanDisk class 6 cards are a lot higher spec than they need to be in order to satisfy the current class ratings.

However like daveid said, the speed ratings are rarely put on SDHC cards. Only class ratings.

So, I said all of that to say this. If I needed a card for my camera (which the write speed is important,) I would pick the class 6 card in the example. If I needed a card for my music player for my truck (in which read times are the most important) I would get the class 4 in the example above.

However, in the real world, since the X rating is rarely specified, I would play it safe and get the class 6 rated card in both examples.
[G1 Accessories] prince.siraj:
I've got the same Sandisk card :D they're freakin BEAST!!! speed ratings over class ratings seriously. oh wait they have money to make
[G1 Accessories] ofsinreno:
OK, I don't mind admitting that my foot often finds its way to my mouth. I logged onto a training site we use at work and found this:

"Read/Write speed is the maximum sequential speed that data can be written to the memory card ("write speed") and transferred to a host device ("read speed")."

and this

"Speed class is not a measure of the top sustained speed of an SD/SDHC memory card. The current SD/SDHC memory card speed classes are generally rated as class 2, class 4, or class 6. "

and this

"Usually standard definition camcorders require only a Speed Class 2 rating

Generally standard definition camcorders will not benefit by using higher class 4 or above memory card products

and this

"Maximum read / write speed (MB/sec), not class speed, is the critical number for you and your customers who want to take photos"

Taking the information given to me by the company representatives and applying this Sandisk Training information I came up with the information I posted earlier. And I thought that people were being misled into spending more $$ than necessary.

Thanks for the discussion, now I understand :)

[G1 Accessories] Jeliz187:
I'm sorry I'm so late to this conversation, but is there anything wrong with getting a class 10 mSDHC card that is going to be partitioned? I wouldn't think so... but I wouldn't want to spend the money and realize that the ext partitions do not work with a class 10 card. Has anyone tried this? Results? Noticeable performance shift?
[G1 Accessories] Klyentel:
lol^^ i was about to ask the same exact thing....cus I got my eye on the new Kingston 10 class 16gb card right now...but haven't heard too much talk about it, so I figured I'd wait until more people purchase and give feedback before I spend that $100.

also, has anyone ever used a "Centon" sdcard? Unfamiliar name to me, I usually buy Sandisk or Transcend.....but I took a risk and purchased a 16gb Class 6 Centon sdcard yesterday in TigerDirect. Cost me $74! Have not opened it yet, and I still have the receipt....any suggestions?
[G1 Accessories] t1n0m3n:
Personally I would wait until "Class 10" becomes an official SD Association speed class. You never know, they may spec other classes like "Class 12" or "Class 14" at that time as well. However, for the G1, you will probably not get any performance increase over a Class 6. A fast Class 6 pretty much maxes out the G1's capabilities as of right now.

So unless you are getting the new card to put into an adapter and push large file directly to the card (bypassing the G1) I would hold off getting the expensive "Class 10" card until more info is given. (I.E. an official SD Card Specification Ver.3.0 is released.)
[G1 Accessories] zhourj:
hi, I have a question related with the SD card. I also have a Class 6 8G card, but I can't use adaptor to read it on my card reader. The card reader is a bit old. It's a kind of 6-in-1 reader and I usually read my CF card from DSLR camera on it and till now it's working fine. However, ever since I purchased this microSD card, I can't read it on the card reader. everytime I put it into the adapter and inserted it in the card reader, it will cause the card reader malfunction. nothing can be read and the LED on the reader just die.

Is it because the reader can't support it or the adapter can't? I can only use the phone to read the card now.
[G1 Accessories] Jeliz187:
Do you have it partitioned with an ext file system? If so then windows has a hard time recognizing this. Its better to just mount your mSDHC from your phone instead of trying to mount it through a card reader.
[G1 Accessories] zhourj:
yes, I did have ext file system on it , but also fat 32. I got another newer reader and it can read the fat 32 partition. I think the other one just being too old and can't read the sdhc card . it's too large for it.
[G1 Accessories] SolemnWishing:
I am probably going to get flamed for this, but I believe the OP may have a legitimate argument. I have used a class 2 card, class 4 as well as a class 6 on my laptop as well as other devices and computer in my houses. I have NEVER sustained a minimum of 4MB a second with a class 4, none the less 6MB with a class 6, it always dangles between 1-3MB, sometimes it will spike to 6MB, but it definitely is NOT sustained.

You guys mentioned that these numbers are in "worse case" scenarios, when I transfer files and such, I don't perform any CPU intensive tasks, and it will rarely ever sustain the rated specification, except for the class 2 which is pretty sustained in that area.

Either way though, I am going to run a test later with my memory cards, because everyone has told me and I have believed for a while that the class indication shows the minimum write speed, but I have yet to see that actually be true.

EDIT:

I did my own research and have come to the conclusion that the OP is right as well as the other posters here, there is a bit of a misunderstanding. The class rating does in fact guarantee minimum data transfer speed. However, it means that it is CAPABLE of sustaining that minimum data transfer speed, not necessarily it will for many reasons, most often the host device. A Class 4 memory card is guaranteed to reach 4MB/s if the host device allows it to, some host devices for reasons like, lack of resources such as CPU power or RAM and so forth will make transfer slower.

Think of it like this, we have two men that need to move goods between two vans. One van is empty, the other is full of goods that need to be moved to the other van. The owner of the van full of goods is 20 years old, works out every day and can bench 200 (I think you get my point), and the other man with the empty van is older, weaker and perhaps texting with one hand. Assuming they need to hand off the goods to each other, the strong man may be able to deliver 30 boxes to the other man in a minute, but the man who is perhaps texting can only hold and receive 8 boxes a minute, which puts the cap at a sustained 8 boxes a minute.

The point is, no matter how great or bad the situation the card is in, it can only deliver or transfer as much as the host device is able to put out or receive.
[G1 Accessories] EpicFail236:
Does anyone know what the maximum read/write speeds actually are for these devices? is there an app that can check? once we have that (on a class 6 just for reference) we can probably say with some certainty if a class 6 will make a difference versus a lower class.
[G1 Accessories] :

There, for the guy above me.

Edit: Don't know about you, but my TopRam keeps up to par. About 6.3 - 6.6 when I benchmark it.
[G1 Accessories] t1n0m3n:
Your edit is a great real world example. Just because the card can sustain 6MB/s doesn't mean that what ever you are using to write to the card can sustain 6MB/s.

Again, great example. Thanks for posting.

You don't have an ext partition. There's no "fixing" that needs to be made. If you have an ext partition, it won't say that. It's not bad, though. Mine says the same thing.

[G1 Accessories] SolemnWishing:
I recommend mounting it while running a Linux distribution, use Ubuntu and access the files and just move them onto your desktop. Or, download an application called Backup for Root on the market, it will backup everything to your SD card, so go ahead and do that and move it onto your computer, then onto your new SD card. You will need to reinstall Backup for Root, go ahead and do that, then restore the backup on your SD card.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] the original mobilitygeek:
A good friend of mine - Bernd M. Walter - just released ZOOOMER for the HTC HD2.

What does this app do?

Zooomer enables "pinch to zoom" in the programs you want. The software scans all .exe on the device. Just select the app you want to bee zoom enabled and perform a softreset - here you go: the exe is enabled for pinch to zoom! Currently only user installed (and some few built in) applications can be "zooom-enabled".

Screenshots and the download (CAB) can be found here (website is german but the app itself is english): http://www.mobilitynews.net/?p=8295 Please do not add ANY MIRRORS! This app may only be distributed via mobilitynews.net! THANKS!

If you find this software useful feel free to click the "donate" button within the software - thanks in advance! The author is not responsible for any damages on your device! The worst thing that could happen is that you have to do a hardreset :)

Goal: the developer of this tool needs an own HD2 for further development - we guess that more "zoooming" is possible on the HD2

I tried it on TomTom 7 and it worked, but not quite.

It only enabled the pseudo-zoom, where you zoom in on the screen and a thumbnail appears in the bottom right corner to pan around.

TomTom has its own zoom functionality; it would be better if that could be controlled by 'pinching'.
