Why go to safe mode

You do not need to go to safe mode to enter the APN settings. When you are asked to enter Gmail username and password, just press menu. At the bottom, you'll have an option to add APN settings. Make sure you save the settings before going back to the main page.

Hello all! I'm curious to know whether it is at all possible to convert Android applications to Windows Mobile 6.5 OS? Android has quite a selection of pretty nice apps, and it seems like there isn't that much out there for Win Mo 6.5.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
You would need a major overhaul of the program to make it suitable for Windows Mobile. Case in point, Android (at least when I last checked) uses java as a programming language for its programs. Windows Mobile uses C, C++, and C# (.net) for programming languages. There is not easy way to turn a java program into a C++ program. If you are not a programmer or are one and don't know your programming languages very well, I would say you can't "convert" an android program to a Windows Mobile program.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
android is both java and c++

but wm c++ is .net or microMFC or pure win32

so even if one had the source code for the android program in c++

all calls to the os and or libs would have to be changed

to match wm

in many cases it would be faster to rewrite the whole program from scratch which of cause would also be a time consuming thing
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zzzp:
what about converting WM app to android? well I guess the answer would be the same (I do not know anything about programming)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] criticalmass24:
should have just bought a android phone and then you got everything you could ever want and most of its free.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dorianking:
Soem apps can be converted but others can't. Just google it and see if it can; best way to be honest.

Hi guys,

I have read some of the topics on this forum and also gone through the step to step guide. Basically I have a o2 XDA ignito which is working pretty well. However, I would like this to look like the HTC diamond i.e. the black interface. What is the best way to go about this please ?

many thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] droy68:
You cant flash any stock ROM other than O2 because your Diamond is Ignito from O2, tried it myself and got the same as you. There is plenty of Cooked ROMS in here that are way better than any stock ROM for you to try !!!:)

Hi

I just bought a used Diamond 2 and wanted to update it to 6.5.

But when i try it stops for at 9% and then looses connection with the PC but recovers and continues to 18% then it stops and the RUU wants to recover the installation, that resulted in the same error.

Luckely I tried the offical 6.1 installation, and that installd OK so my phone is OK.

But why can´t I install 6.5?

I checked with the guy i bought it from, and he said it has been flashed before with a dutty or tom´s rom.

Can this be why it wont load?

I check the bootloader screen (thanks to Drag-On guide) and i says SPL-1.33. OliNex MicroP-Topaz (LED) v10

Do I need 1.83 to install offical 6.5?

I am using swedish rom since I am swedish.

Can anyone help me?

/ Bidde
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] chris5s:
Try hard spl 1.83, then try re-flashing your 6.5

If it still won't flash, try a different rom. Download a cooked rom, Tess 4.0 for instance, and see if you can flash it. If you can, there is probably an error with the original rom. Tess is close to stock anyway, but faster and better :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bidde:
He he!

It worked! Thanks alot!

So now when I have done that, I will try to install a rom.:)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] datastore:
yeah try hard spl 1.83 1st and then u'll be able to flash wm 6.5.

Hi,

I have just updated to a windows 6.5 htc diamond2(htc pure) phone and previously i was using htc mda III with windows 5. My rom is default offical rom by at&T.

I am facing 2 problems regarding automatic sending/receiving of emails using new outlook on window 6.5(htc diamond2):

1) I cannot enter send/receive time interval into an input box as there is no option for this and i have to select the time interval only from dropdown list, which include send/receive Every 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hr , 1 day and so on.. But i want to use outlook with automatic send/receive every 2 minutes and this option is not there is dropdown list of new outlook. Previously in windows 5 , there was a input box in outlook settings where we can ourself enter a numeric value for setting the time interval in minutes after which phone automatically send /receve mail. So any idea how to add send/receive every 2 minutes option in dropdown list of outlook in windows 6.5?

2) Previously when my phone display goes off(maybe phone goes in sleep/standby mode) after few secs of non usage the automatic send/receive part of outlook was still working in background and i use to get email message even when phone was in pocket , but in windows 6.5 i have to tap and wake the phone up manually and then automatic send/receive will work if the phone is awake.So automatic send/receive will not get emails when phone is in sleep/standby mode. This seems to be a big problem it was not there in windows 5. Any idea how to resolve this part?

It seems to me that window 5 was better in regards to above to 2 points. can we install windows 5 on htc diamond 2 ?

Any help in rectifying the above problem will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Push Internet delivers when the e-mail hits the server, why set it to 2 minutes? What is the purpose?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Mehedict:
Push Internet has nothing to do with this. All it does is refreshing the content of your HTC Sense bookmarks.

Back to the topic: I wonder what was your battery life with every 2 minutes of checking the emails, 5 minutes are more than enough IMHO. If not satisfied, try switching to some push mail solution, bad news is that the only officially supported stuff is MS Exchange (which is not free). Other alternatives don't seem to be stable and, you can't rely on them.

I use WM 6.5 myself on my Topaz and the problem you mentioned about not getting the emails while in sleep mode doesn't seem to be present. My emails arrive all the time, in a 30 minute interval (just like I set it). This seems to be a reg tweak made by ATnT or something. I suggest you to reset your device to factory settings and if it doesn't help, simply switch to another ROM. I use the Dutty's Holy Grail and I'm very satisfied. Contains the latest Sense from HD2 and runs pretty fast and reliably.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Yes, you're right, what I meant was Push Mail, through gmail as exchange server.

I do not set my device up to check at intervals, it gets pushed to my device when the e-mail hits the google server.

Hello,

I'm looking into purchasing the Hero at the end of December. I'm also used to carrying my phone on a belt strap thing (you know, the black "leather" pouches with velcro or magnet covers).

So my first question is, are there any belt straps for the Hero. If there aren't, how do you carry it. I can't imagine that it would fit nicely in a pocket with the chin and all.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
IMHO, it fits very nicely in a trouser pocket, it you slide it in the chin at the top and the screen facing against your leg. I find that the slight curve that the chin gives the device makes it very comfortable because it "flows" with the contours of my upper leg better.

Dave

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] q426669:
So I noticed last night while trying to take a picture in the dark (yeah I know it doesn't work lol) that my screen has close to 75 dead pixels in it. Is this typical of TP2's? None of the three G1's I've gone though had a single dead pixel. In fact, I have not seen a screen with this kind of deadness since the original PSP... Well I'm within my 14 days, so this one is going back to T-Mobile.

I think I may just wait for T-Mo to toss out the HD2, or what ever device they launch that will have the ability to utilize WinMo 7 upon release.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jjday7:
75, tha's a bit much. I have 5 on my tp2 and 2 on my hero. I am probably gonna get the tp2 replaced. They really don't bother me though. I really don't want to get stuck with a refurb
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] q426669:
I wish that I had checked my first TP2 for them, but I had to send that one back as the automatic speakerphone didn't work. (Nor did anything that used the rotation sensor, like Need For Speed: Undergroud, obviously sensor version!)

The dead pixels bother me when playing darker games, or looking at darker pics. Also, I just installed a dark theme, and now it looks like there is water dripping down it (in a bad way) lol.

If my next replacement has any more issues, I'm just going to send it back and get out my half broken G1 again. It shouldn't be this hard to do a quality check before shipping.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Taurmindo:
HTC doesn't recognize dead pixels as something wrong with the unit, except if there's 3 (or more) dead pixels on an area not larger than 1cm^3 (one cubic centimeter). 75 totally is obviously quite alot. ;P

personally i have one dead pixel on my Swedish unbranded TP2, and just one dead pixel isn't really bothering at all, even if it, of course, would've been nicer without it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
What does "taking a picture" and "dead pixels" have to do with each other unless you're talking about the camera itself having dead pixels?

If you want to check the screen for dead pixels find something that displays solid black, white, red, green, blue... There are several "flashlight" programs that do this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djinfamousflo:
camera lenses cant possibly, not even in a million years, ever have pixels. thats just absurd.

taking a picture in the dark.

in other words, it was an all black screen when he/she:

1- took the photo in the dark

2- saw the dark photo.

that is when he/she noticed the dead pixels.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
One dead pixel reporting here

Not a big deal...:rolleyes:

I read somewhere about an app to correct this dead pixels:confused:

Anyone know more about this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
I think we all know what djinfamousflo really means. The exact technical terms were probably not used correctly but the point is, you really can't come to the conclusion that you have dead pixels based on taking a photo in the dark and then looking at that photo. If that were the case, I would have several dead pixels myself. My photo taken in the dark actually has a couple of pale spots.

If you really want to test, you need to fill your screen with black, blue, green, and red. See if each pixel can display each color. Try it with the pics I've attached.

I don't think you can fix a dead pixel (ie, if your screen is suppose to display white, and the pixel is black, then it's pretty much really dead).

But you may be able to wake up a stuck pixel if you have an app that rapidly continuously flashes red, green and blue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] q426669:
I noticed them when I took a picture in a no light environment, and proceeded to test with my flashlight app. I'm within T-Mobile's 14 days, so I can get this one replaced, I just wanted to make sure this wasn't a wide spread issue.

Thanks for posts guys :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
How easy is it to spot a single dead pixel? Does it glare out at you and taunt you everyday, or is it something you rarely notice?

I assume "dead" means it doesn't display anything and "stuck" means it only displays 1 color always.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Thanks I´ll try that and report back

What is the app that rapidly continuously flashes red, green and blue?:o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
It's pretty easy to spot if you splash the screen with red, green, blue, and white. Your "dead" and "stuck" definitions are spot on...

Try this. But I couldn't get it to run full screen, so if your stuck pixel is on the top or bottom bars, then it won't work. You can however, slide out your keyboard and force the app to run landscape to cover more ground. But you're out of luck if your stuck pixel is in the corners.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
Okay.... So I obviously did not say a lens.

Second, taking pictures in the dark and checking for "dead pixels" is complete and utter nonsense. Flat out nonsense. Again, the ONLY thing that could POSSIBLY find is hot pixels in the camera sensor.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] q426669:
Yes, yes you can. In a low to zero light environment they show up just fine. Camera's don't have pixels. And the camera sensors are digital. They don't work like a screen. Thus when you power on your camera and go into a bathroom you will indeed see DEAD/STUCK pixels. (Assuming your device has any) AND I USED A FLASHLIGHT APP AFTER TO VERIFY. There is a significant difference between a dead pixel, and super low light pixilation that occurs from the CMOS sensor (That's what the camera uses to take a picture.) attempting to raise the light level.

Please if you don't have anything constructive to add, don't add anything at all.

I sent TP2 back for replacement today, and will try out number three. If the third one has issues, well I'll be going back to my G1 personally.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] q426669:
Oh yes - And I never TOOK a picture to find them, I simply noticed this while trying to take a night shot of some pumpkins, thus making the entire screen black. Now if I then took a picture and looked at it, it would show nothing, as the CMOS doesn't have dead pixels. I just NOTICED the dead ones while the screen was all black IN the camera APP.

Maybe that makes it clearer?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
I bolded your statement that you really should stick to, although perhaps you should replace "constructive" with "useful".

If you have dead pixels by viewing with a app that shows solid colors, you have stuck pixels. Using the camera in a dark room is not the way to find them.

And digital cameras don't have pixels?? The Tilt 2 has a 3.2MP camera. You can interpolate from there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quid246:
To revive a somewhat stagnant thread... if I take pictures on my TP2, there is one all-white pixel that shows up in every picture. Funny thing is it shows only when viewing previously taken pictures, it does not show up in the viewfinder before clicking the shutter.

And no, it's not a dead screen pixel... as I can zoom in on it and move it around.

So looks like a dead CMOS pixel.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
View it on your computer; does it still show? Same place every time, again on the PC.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
if its on a picture and not permanently on the screen, its not a dead pixel, its noise on the photo. web cams are notorious for little stray off color pixels. i dont think a camera phone is a proper replacement for a real camera. dead pixel and stuck pixel are the same thing. normally flashing black and white on the screen really fast will fix them but thats more for computer monitors. dunno how that would refer to a phone because ive only seen an iphone that had dead pixels, never on any other. if it really bugs you, it is a warranty issue and you can get your phone replaced.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] imaan988:
Okay, so I tried to upgrade my HTC Magic (Vodafone UK) from Cyanogen's 1.4 ROM to the 4.2.5 version (using instructions in his wiki). To do this I had to run the update from the HTC website and then run the cyanogen mod 4.2.5. I did this and my phone would turn on but then just go to a black screen after the Vodafone logo and android logo. So to try and fix it I went back into recovery mode and just ran the update.zip from the HTC website.

Now, my phone turns on, goes past the Vodafone load screen and on to the 'Android' screen, but when it should load the actual phone software, the screen just goes black.

If I try to load into recovery mode (hold home while turning on) I just get a picture of a phone and an exclamation mark. (which I think means its now un-rooted, but I may be wrong)

Is there any way I can fix this?

Thanks for your help
