[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
The Windows Mobile 7 shown in the advertisement was a mockup, nothing more. All reports I've seen say that Microsoft will limit Windows Mobile 7 to the high end, multitouch devices, and 6.5 will be for the low end devices which do not fit the minimum specs for WM7. However, from what I hear, Maldives (6.5.1) will eventually become Windows Mobile 7 sometime in 2010, and the way I see it, if we can run 6.5.1 on our devices, we should hopefully be able to run it unofficially.

And has been said before, all multitouch on the HTC Leo is because of HTC, as the technology is not native to 6.5.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] shassouneh:
Capacitive Screen

The Touch Pro 2 has a resistive screen (basically two metal plates that touch to establish electrical current / contact). This allows for greater precision through the stylus but requires a stronger push.

I have heard that WM7 will ONLY run on capacitive screens (like the iPhone's) which is basically an electromagnetic field. Which is why the slightest touch activates something on the iPhone.

That being said, sorry folks. It looks like no WM7 for TP2

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MadBeef:
Nice explanation of res / cap screens, but have some faith dude, there are a lot of unknowns so far :)

Also is it just me who prefers resistive screens? And multitouch is grossly over hyped and not a great deal of practical use when dealing with small screens IMO. But then I only spent a few mins with my mate's iPhone. Just an overpriced toy if you ask me, not keen on Apple either. Pretentious control freaks ... :p

Besides, using a stylus is altogether more civilised :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] andrew-in-woking:
Windows 7, for example

Hi all

Ex-squise me if I'm wrong but doesn't Windows 7 install in two modes, standard and touch/multitouch screen? If so, isn't that an example we might apply to WM 7?

Cheers

My hopes are that they use a multi-touch resistive OLED screen with 1gh tegra or snapdragon.

By the time Win7 comes out, hopefully there will be a tp3:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I may be wrong, but I don't think resistive screens can support multi-touch because of how they work. What I'd really like to see is a screen with 24-bit color. I'm sick of paying top dollar for old 8-bit screen technology. Incase you wonder what I mean, ever notice how crappy a high quality 32-bit alpha blended image with gradients look on our screens?

Color Depth

The touch panel is not actually part of the screen in the TP2 btw. The LCD sits behind it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
A little off topic, but the TP2's screen actually supports many more colors than the 16 bit default that WM uses. Windows Mobile can even support over 16 bit color; there were registry tweaks that could enable 24 bit color on older devices, but alas, it doesn't work on the TP2 (I unsuccessfully tried). It is also much more processor intensive to use 24 bit color over the default 16 bit, as explained in this (old) MSDN article. I think the real problem is HTC using the Qualcrap MSM series processors, as they provide horrendous graphics and performance compared to competing devices.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mda71:
You can buy touchscreen (resistive & capasitive) overlays for any monitor. Or you can buy a screen that that has the touch mechanism integrated with the monitor. We have used these technologies at work for advertising kiosk and other displays. 3M makes several sizes. You can see some information here:

http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/TouchSystems/TouchScreen/

For a multi-touch resistive screen see info here. It should be available for the mobile market within a year. You can get multi-touch technology with the precision that a resistive touch screen can offer.

I had a lot of problems with Finger Keyboard on the Leo/Sense Roms and HTC's messaging app. If I used the shortcuts such as a smiley, on some of them, the cursor would jump backwards after the smiley was shown.... It bothered me so much I went ahead and disabled HTC's app and used the standard windows one (and by doing so lost all integration with the contacts tab)

Can someone here who has this app please test the shortcuts for me on their Leo? I get mine in a week.... I can live with the HTC messaging but I simply can't do without the shortcuts like the ".com", "..." and smileys! I hope it works!

Thanks!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] robisme:
I have exactly the same problem. Actually, it does that issue each time I hint something else than A...Z : space, dot, coma, @ etc. each time, I have to wait 1 second before typing the rest, if I don't, the cursor jump back and I continue typing in the middle of the word if I didn't care. It's really a mess.

I have a Touch HD "1", with Geranium 6.5 rom. I thought Opera Mobile 10 was guilty, but I've juste realized the same issue while entering a new appt in Pocket Informant.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] tomho529:
Hey guys, i recently got a HTC Hero from Telus then unlocked for usage on the fido network(In canada) as well.

I notice i don't see a lot of apps on my market, paid and free.

I guess it is because the Hero is on Android 1.5.

Also Telus/Fido supports tethering but the HTC Hero from Telus disabled this.

I was wondering other than additional to tethering, what do i gain by rooting the phone?

This might be a newbie question, but i looked at the MoDaCo features, and that is basically what i get right?

I am thinking of waiting for the official 2.0.

Thanks,
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dvice19:
There are no paid apps in Canada yet. I have no idea when we will be getting paid apps. I tried writing HTC and asking, but they never responded.

If you are successful in rooting your Hero, then you can get the app: Market Enabler and use it to get paid apps.

What kind of tethering do you mean? Connected or wireless? I think you can use azilink for wired tether without being rooted, but wireless tether you have to have root.

The only necessity for me to root would be to get paid apps. However, the rooting method for the Hero is a painful one and I have not been successful in downgrading. The stock rom that Telus Hero comes with is not rootable yet. You must downgrade to an older rom and root that.

I am a bit sketchy about ditching the stock rom for a custom rom as well. I've seen so many custom roms that I don't like or a bit buggy. Also, once you ditch the stock, it seems that we cannot easily get it back. However, I would like to get paid apps as there are a few that I use frequently.

Hopefully Canada gets paid apps soon...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tomho529:
Thanks, i'm going to try Azilink!

I might wait til it gets rooted, unless i can get 2.0 early, i don't see the need of putting my new phone in danger for paid apps for my personal use as of now.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dvice19:
If you don't care about paid apps, or wireless tether, I see no reason to root. The TELUS Rom is actually quite good. Have fun with azilink, I've never actually used it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Raspster:
Other than putting the market enabler on, can you still push APK's over to install with a USB and ADB..? Or even email yourself the APK and install that way?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dvice19:
should be able to as long as you allow installs from unknown sources in the settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
I prefer to copy my apk's to the SD card and then on the phone, use a file manager like Linda File Manager to browse to the apk file, click it and install it that way.

you didnt backup the manila-file? what version of manila do you have? ask for the file from some one so you dont need a hardreset.. i have the full backup made with maxTTF so i can revert any manila-file that gets corrupted or what ever when trying something new that gets ****ed up..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pistou:
No, no, i've managed to revert to the properly working flip clock, it's just that the manila files provided in both the cab fix and the zip fix (they have the same filename but the unix command cmp shows the files to be different one from the other) do not fix the problem but instead corrupt the display. I provided my specific Manila version in case there is some significant difference.

Shortly: I flashed a new rom (not so new... Mameli 2.0 with WM6.1) and the upgrade process stuck on 99%, computer saying "All Done"

No so... trying to reboot the Wizard gets up the bootloader screen... no problem, will you say BUT... I was in a hurry so I leave the USB cable connected and go away for a few hours (I suppose the USB cable may keep powered the device but now I guess no... )

So, when I came back, the Wizard was turned off.

First try was soft resetting the device with no success: screen remains black.

Then I try to connect the power supply and nothing happened...

Then I pull off the battery and keep it off for a few seconds... I was googling with the device in this state when the bootloader screen pops up for not more then 15 seconds then blank again...

No way to enter bootloader mode or to hard reset the device...

I suppose the battery goes almost flat... and I've not a cradle... is there any way to charge the battery? or a way to build up a cradle-substitute?

May be the issue due to battery flat?

Thanks, Pino
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] n2rjt:
Try plugging in to the original charger, not a USB cable, with the power off.

After about a minute you should see the orange LED turn on.

At least that has worked for me when my battery has been dead.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ppelleg2003:
Nothing... It was already done... I suppose the charging doesn't happen if the OS didn't load... even if I read about some stating that if the charger supplies 1.0A the charge happens...

Now I'm trying to charge the battery with "alternatives" methods...

Thank you for your interest
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ppelleg2003:
and so?!?!?

So much lurking... noone writing?

Ideas welcome.... :-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Nandaly:
I've done something similar to this too, i.e., where battery gets so low that phone cannot start charging cycle.

Here is what I have done. Take note on the battery of the positive and negative terminals (clearly marked on battery). Use a regular 9V battery and some wire (or 9V connector) and connect the 9V to the phone battery (+ to + and - to -). Allow the phone battery to recharge some from the 9V. I suggest connecting for about 1 minute or so and then disconnecting again for 1 minute or so, and repeat this cycle a dozen times or (or more) using this 50% duty cycle charging. (not sure about charging current, nor heating of battery and don't want to overheat or damage the phone battery).

After giving the phone battery some (re)charging, then try plugging phone in to see if charging cycle comes on. (try first without trying to turn on the phone. If no response then try turning phone on while plugged in to USB). Generally makes no difference whether using USB plugged into computer, original charger or after market, ... phone does not, nor cannot discriminate between different 5V 'USB' sources.

If this doesn't work then the next step is to carefully touch the 9 V to the battery while in the phone and connected to USB (and to play this safe use charger, and not computer USB ... don't want to risk damage to computer). I would only try this if you feel extremely comfortable with electronics and voltages (albeit this is very low voltage) and as a last resort. KEEP IN MIND YOU WILL BE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, and I don't want to be blamed for anything that may go wrong with the phone or otherwise by you trying this. This has worked for me on several occassions, but I am an engineer who has experimented with electronic ciruits off and on for 16 + years and so feel comfortable doing stuff like this. (again remember + to + and - to -, battery to battery).

Good Luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ppelleg2003:
First of all... Thanks for replying...

The problem isn't due to battery too much empty (it's a frequent issue, with mobile phones too...)

I suppose the Wizard needs be correctly initialized to start charging the battery and mine was in bootloader mode.

Sometimes I am able to power up the system for a little while and the bootloader screen appears but the battery doesn't charges so I cannot disconnect the power supply... this is why I suppose I'd get better times if I got a cradle.

Now I'm trying to arrange a flying connection between the battery and my kaiser's desktop charger to give the battery a bit of charge and verify my ipotesys (uh-oh... it's correctly spelled? sorry for my bad english....)

OK, wish me luck :D

stay tuned...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ppelleg2003:
OK, no more bricked :-)

The issue, as I supposed, was due to a flat battery!!!

I tried unsuccessfully to charge it back using the external charger for my Kaiser, probably the unsuccess was due to difficult to obtain a stable contact between charger pins and battery leads...

After that I remembered I had another battery. It wasn't used for a bit of months (I use the wizard just as backup, when the Kaiser is out of order) but luckily I stored it full charged so the battery was able to make my wizard power up (strange thing, I needed to keep the power button pressed as the device powers down as soon as I release the button!!!)

I tried to update the rom again but it failed at 99% so now I reverted to an old rom but the device is still alive...

Maybe I'll try again the update but not before having fully charged both batteries :-)

See You and thanks to everyone tried to help...

Alright, I am using Droid Explorer, it connects fine to my phone I could use all the other stuff (screen cast, desktop sms, and screen shot thats mainly what I use) but I'm trying to change the font of the actual phone, I downloaded a font off of dafont and renamed it DroidSans (they both are .ttf, both the android font and the font I downloaded) so I figured I could delete the font out of /HT849GZ22284/system/fonts/ (DroidSans.ttf) and then copy over the downloaded font renamed DroidSans.ttf and it would be over.
