[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] indianinworld:
Which version of HTC Touch Pro 2 is better ???

ATT Tilt 2

or

Tmobile's HTC Touch pro 2

For me, ATT Tilt 2 looks attractive in features...

What do you guys say ??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Who is your carrier? Or are you picking carriers too?

The ATT versions is the only one that will get you 3G on their network. But it also has a row of near useless symbols and punctuations on the top row of keys, instead of numbers that every other version of the TP2 has. You have to use the Fn key to type any numbers on the ATT version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
I would guess it would depend on what carrier you want. However as noted before if you want to use 3G in North America then you are left with the Tilt2. I dont mind the punctuation symbols as I only use numbers once in a while. My Kaiser had the embedded numbers and I did not find it awkward at all.

For me there was no choice. I want to use 3g in Canada so it was Tilt2. Just be thankful you can get one in the States from a carrier. Rogers here is still selling the Tytn for $200 with 3 year contract. I got rid of that phone 2 years ago when it was 2 years old.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
It all depends on tastes but have a look here and see what members prefer most:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550431&highlight=rhodium

I presonally prefer the unbranded version :) (dont care really about 3G)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] indianinworld:
ATT Version has 3 3G bands while T'mobiles version has only two - out of which one is unique only to T Mobile.

Also

Built IN FM in ATT's version (Tilt 2).

But T Mobiles version by default have no FM Radio. But we can install and use it. I saw in my frineds mobile.

Though, it played, He had difficulties in scanning and playing the FM.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konkinator:
Hey I first followed the one click root guide for Rogers before realizing that my new G1 may have defenses against that method. I am unable to get past the Rogers boot screen. I have tried to use a nandroid backup I found on these forums of an original Rogers unrooted g1. I have tried flashing images from givemeroot and rogers_root_unzipme.

While right now, I don't have access to the recovery menu, I believe that I can get it by flashing one of the recovery.img again.

At fastboot, I have:

DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA21000)

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26i

Hoping someone can tell me what my next step should be, I want to get Cyanogen up and running as I was very happy with it before my last G1 was stolen! Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
I'm not all that familiar with the Roger's phone, but just in case you haven't been using Cyanogen's Wiki check out the guide specifically for the Roger's Dream

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konkinator:
Yeah, I've been there, but as I didn't start out with that guide, I'm not sure what to do. In that guide they specifically tell you not to flash the boot and recovery images, which I have done.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xavier6303:
I dont know the Rogers G1 but I thought the Rogers had a different radio? Initial glance, your radio version looks like the T-Mobile/ADP radio. Not sure about this though
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
That's a good point

Looking above your radio is the same version as mine

Can you get into fastboot?

If so flash a new recovery and see where it get's you
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konkinator:
Yeah I can get into fastboot, I flashed the recovery.img from rogersrootunzip me first, nothing. Then from givemeroot and I have the recovery menu! CyanogenMod v1.4 +JF
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
Alright, so you know what to do from here then, right?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konkinator:
Ok, so I followed the directions for rogers on cyanogen's wiki. I have just installed HTC system.img and now Cyanogen's zip. Should I do the kernel patch? I'm thinking no as that would be running a EBI1 kernel with the radio.img for an EBI0. I don't even know which one my phone is!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konkinator:
Its booting! I'm looking at the Home Screen NOW! THANKS ALOT! You just saved me a lot of money I don't have!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BAttitude7689:
I have the 0.7 rom load with both patchs and the blue theme, I want to try out apps 2 SD i just didnt know the best route in doing so, for it to work correctly with your rom. If i use the format function in the recovery menue would it automatically save my apps on the SD and work properly or would i have to reinstall them?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
(I personally don't like apps2sd but if you really have that many apps...)

Yea. Backup your sd card (it will get wiped). Boot in to recovery and create swap+ext2+fat32 and then convert ext2 to ext3 (all are options in the recovery menu). It will move everything for you.

World Card Mobile (comes pre-installed on Tilt II)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] eknutson:
I'm toying with the idea of putting together a cab with my owner info, local area code, alerts and notifications settings, etc. Has anyone else done this? And if so, which keys did you grab? What are your thoughts? How well did it work? I'm using CERegistryEditor and WinCE Cab Manager - any better tools for the job?

I know this can be done with Sashimi, in fact that's what gave me the idea to do some provisioning... I just thought a cab in the UC folder would be quick and painless.

~Eric
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I made provXMLs/cabs of my email accounts, power saving settings, and auto light sensor settings, which get installed by XDA User Customization on the first boot. The easiest way to do this is to use the XML maker in sashami (makisu), then save the .xml file onto your SD card. For any settings found in Schapps' Advanced Configuration Tool, you can export them as .XML files which are usable with UC. Then, in your SDConfig.txt file, use the XML: command (as opposed to CAB:) and specify its file path as you would with any .cab file. For any settings found in Schapps' Advanced Configuration Tool, you can export them as .XML files which are usable with UC. Then, UC will import the registry entries from the provXML on the first boot.

Or if you really want .cab files, I believe you can import provXMLs as registry settings with WinCE Cab Manager since your provxml is identical to _setup.xml (which contains registry settings) found in the root of any modern .cab. Then, you can create the .cab file, and it'll install all your registry settings. If that fails, you can still use the official Microsoft .cab SDK and cab up the XML, as detailed here. It may seem like a lot of work, but it'll be completely worth it once you've automated everything.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] leihen:
I am wondering if someone else here is familiar with programming the radio on the leo. I spent some time in finding out about how to use the HtcFm.dll and FmRadioSdk.dll, but I am stuck now.

Especially the use of FmRadioSdk.dll seems to acknowledge all my requests (by calling my callback function and responding as expected). Unfortunately, I hear - nothing :eek:.

Is there something I might have forgotten ? Is there something special I need to do in order to hear something ?

flywhc has done great work on a couple of devices, and is researching this too, but he doesnt have a device. Maybe you both could solve the riddle? Here's his thread
[Touch HD General] accountabc:
Hello,

I've got a problem with my Blackstone. I just flashed the latest topix Rom trough SD card and all went well (rom update:succes), and then i did a HR. But ever since then the screen won't turn on. I tried to softreset, hardreset, removing the battery for a few minutes and turn on, and entering bootloader. The screen stayed black. When i plug in the usb charge cable the orange led does go on, and when i press the power button the phone vibrates for half a second and plays the bootsound (as usual). I can even get an activesync connection with my pc.

Suggestions anyone?

Edit: Just flashed a new Rom (the latest energyrom); screen still stays black. I am still able to get an activesync connection + orange/green led

EDIT2: people in this thread seem to be having thesame problem I have with my blackstone. It seems to be a hardware defect... Now let's hope it will be repaired under warranty
[Touch HD General] accountabc:
Ok, I'm replying instead of editing because I've got a new problem now

I want to return my phone to claim warranty. I did manage to flash a stock rom + radio, but the problem is i use hspl and i am unable to flash a stock spl to the device. When I run the Hardsplwrapper-Blackstone.exe (doesnt matter wether its the unsigned olinex or the 1.56 olinex version) I get a 260: connection error when i use Windows XP, and a 202: connection error when using Windows 7.

The wiki says to run SSPL manually from a file explorer in your phone... But without a working screen that is a bit hard. I als don't have any screen viewing app installed on my device...

EDIT: also tried installing mymobiler to be able to view the screen but I am unable to connect...

Anyone?
[Touch HD General] accountabc:
I managed to flash stock spl by putting the device in bootloader manually while I had it connected to usb. Then I waited til the bootloader connected to my pc (I could tell because the "new hardware found"screen popped up). then I ran the hspl.exe and copied the stock .nbh spl file. After that I was able to finish the wizard
[Touch HD General] accountabc:
ok, another question (sorry mods for replying to my own thread _again_ :P)

I flashed a stock rom + radio and stock SPL (version 1.14). Is this enough to be able to claim warranty, or will HTC find out that i've been using HSPL and custom firmwares? I wouldn't like to have to pay for repairs because they find out about that.

I've been waiting for this! Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
great app, great story

it works just great. this is so cool to see how a good idea is investigated and evolved by the community, then a smart programmer whoops it into an application which is then available worldwide, and in this case even for free (thanks for that!)! :D

read the full story.

lazy people ;) go here for barcode scanner code.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Quazar0:
Hello, this is a great idea!

Is it possible if you could auto-disable the app when the light sensor is already reading no light (so it doesn't go into lock mode straight away once about to ring someone at night) and also, why does the screen stay on? That surely will drain battery life. Can't you make it so that the screen turns off when its dark and back on when not?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] jclei:
great app. very much needed
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mabalito:
This is a really great app, thanks for making it!

The reason the screen stays on is that the light sensor stops reporting light values when the screen is turned off. Maybe this could be worked-around by modifying the Linux kernel but that would surely complicate things..

Anyway, maybe propose this app for inclusion into the next version of MCR? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
note: you need to uninstall the version from this forum if you want to install the market version. looks like someone got himself a brandnew set of keys for the market release ;)

oh man! lol i'm sorry.. i didn't notice the "please post bugs/comments" part in the original post. haha!

my bad :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mlgz:
sorry but i don't understand very well the purpose of this apps

by now (without this apps), when i'm using my hero (calling or receiving a call) the screen turns off and i need to use the left phone button if i need the keyboard.

So what does the apps do exactly ?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kien:
Its locks the screen when you bring the phone against your ear and unlocks it (goes back to normal phone screen) when you move it away.

Only problem I have is that it always locks it in a semi light room, is there a way to change the sensitivty? otherwise its a great app :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] bunt83:
I agree with the above, It's a great app, however it seems to get enabled in a room with little light, which is a bit annoying. A calibration option would be good?

Also, what is the extra strain on the batter when it's being used i.e. I'm sure it's fine for short phone calls, but when on longer ones does it drain the battery more than when just making a call?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
first, the screen should only get locked in a dark room (lol ;) ) when a call is active. if it is triggered by itself then you are running the app in test mode. you do NOT need to start the app manually, it is started when a call is placed or received.

if you want to deactivate it (i.e. for longer calls) just press back during the call. if the screen is not locked at that moment just cover the light sensor with your finger. pressing back disables the app, and after a few seconds the screen will time out as usual and will then be switched off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] bunt83:
Thanks for the advice....

However the app definitely gets activated when using it in semi-light filled spaces. It's not dark just not too light, a slight tweek to only activate it when it's pitch black would be nice!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
The problem is with the hardware not the app, sadly HTC put a rubbish sensor in (but at least they put one in at all!)

This means that the sensor reads 0 even in a semi-bright room. You can try things like pointing the sensor (top left, looks like an LED) towards the light source and making sure you shadow isn't covering the sensor.

Not ideal I know but there isn't anything I can do about it!

I am looking to add g-sensor support and perhaps a few other tweaks but that will be version 2.0, got some bugs to iron out first, and a degree to finish lol!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] noel_leon:
Is there a way to set the brightness of the screen to 0 when the app is active, and set the brightness back to the original setting when inactive?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
On the gsm hero yes, because the app works regardless of the autobacklight settings, however on the CDMA version it only works with autobacklight enabled, something I'm trying to get around.

So it might not happen for a while sorry
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] silfer:
This is such an useful and awesome app! Its not perfect, but its still a great use of the light sensor!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
well said. i'm getting occasional force closes, i have yet to watch for a pattern. is there anything i can do which helps debugging? like can i have some terminal command running in the background logging stuff?

just tell me what to do, i have no clue about programming/debugging, but i am a linux admin, so you won't have to walk me through every single step.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
Thanks, this is exactly what I need, some of the reviews are giving low ratings saying loads of force closes but not emailing me! I can't fix things unless I know about them

The ideal thing is to try and find what steps always produce the error. Any guesses at all? Is it just random or always before - during - after a call etc?

As much information as you can give really!

If you want you can email me instead of posting, but I don't mind, email is dev@tomreay.co.uk

Thanks

Tom Reay

ps ANYONE getting force closes, PLEASE email, pm or message here!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
iirc it happens at the begin of a call, usually when my phone is "busy" as in: i am playing a game, a call comes in, i answer it, put it to my ear but don't hear anything so i take it away from my ear to look on the display, then see proximity sensor is active (and lagging with the unlocking of the display). i then press back (probably the same moment as the app has registered that i took the phone away from my ear) in order to check the call state, and then it force closes.

but i will keep an eye on it and let you know if i can reproduce the error. would be great if it could be more responsive with the unlocking, but i think it is the sensor output that produces the lag?

edit: it has never happened that a call was droped or something, also the phone was stable during and after the call. it is just the FC of the app, so no showstopper at the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] jayce996:

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
v1.1 now out
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] my_space:
i don't know whether it is just me, but when i bring the phone away from my ear during a call, the notification bar is always pulled down

any way to sort this out?

edit:: i have just realized that due to this the screen doesn't turn off, the screen locks + notification bar comes down as i brush my ear to answer call at the same time resulting in the screen remaining on with notification bar down... i think by delaying the lock slightly may stop this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
Weird I have never had this problem, it does take a second while the screen locks to stop the notification bar coming down but there is nothing I can do about this sorry

Once the screen has locked it is not possible to pull down the notification bar

Thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] M3 SMGII:
the app doesn't work for me.

If I want to test it, nothing happens. In calls also nothing.:confused:

Am I doing something wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
What have you tried? If your on a CDMA hero you need to have auto backlight enabled or this won't work. The sensor is either top left (GSM) or right (CDMA) so try covering that and see if it helps

Thanks

Tom Reay
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] M3 SMGII:
I've a Hero GSM.

Autobacklight is on on my phone. But doesn't work for me.

If I disable auto backlght, it also doesn't work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
I had to uninstall this as it force closed during a call, cancelling it in the process.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
:confused: I have never heard anyone having this problem! Did it happen more than once (could you reproduce it?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
Hi, again, your the first I've found this with! For the GSM heros autobacklight shouldn't make a difference! I presume you have the enabled checkbox checked? (sorry for the obvious questions). Also which ROM are you running?

If you could email me (dev@tomreay.co.uk) then hopefully I can sort this for you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tiagobt:
Version 1.1 fixed most of the force closes to me. However, I still have a problem. When I click on the "Test" button, I'm redirected to the home screen. Then, I try to cover the left most LED above the screen. The black screen appears for a fraction of a second, and then it disappears (even though I'm still covering the LED). I don't even have time to press the back button as instructed. The behavior seems to be the same during a real call.

Does anyone know what's happening? Could some other application be interfering with Proximity Sensor? I have a GSM Hero running MoDaCo 2.9. Auto backlight is enabled.

I have to say that the idea of the application is very nice. I wish it worked properly on my device.

Thanks,

Tiago
