aaaah... now I see why this is happening.... (pTasks has ballooned in size and complexity so it is getting quite difficult to debug!) let's fix this bugger then!

-------------

EDIT: Ok, found it! should be fixed in .653
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Maroon:
Considering releasing the source? I guess many here can contribute to making sure it don't blow out of proposition... ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ecmaba64:
ok fixed it:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ecmaba64:
nah... unfortunately this is not going to happen :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ecmaba64:
ok.... I tried to accomodate most of the requests on this page :)

the only one left is categories, which as I said will be on the next version.... I also want to experiment with an updater, and an update notification at some point...

(pTasks has been sufficient for my needs for about two weeks now... at this point I am just playing with code :D)

BUG: No update of task in 0.653

It seems you have swapped the logic of the dialog asking to save the changes. :)

When I say Yes, it don't save changes. And if I say No, the changes are saved.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Tatsch:
Works fin. Updater is perfect, I can immediately check, if my translation fit in the buttons:

Some missing translations in 0.653

- Edit Item (Window title)

- Priorities: High, normal, low

- Save changes (Popup Window title and body text)

- Yes / No (there is no comma in translation sheet, is it right)

- Better change position of Yes/No. Usually "Yes" is on the left.

- Better use radio buttons for lamguage switching (my opinion) M)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ecmaba64:
and i thought something looked wrong there....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Maroon:
What does these functions do?

On the "Other" menu, what does these functions really do:

- Translation > Save collected data

- Translation > Scan forms

- Remove importance colours

I'm not sure if my translation is correct since I don't understand these functions...

And btw, the last update (0.654) fixed the save dialog. Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Maroon:
BUG or Feature Request

When I add an task using the quick entry, the task is automatically assigned a start and due date of today. The default should, in my opinion, be none.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ebsbow:
It does take some time to boot, al lot more of it then the MS standard one.

Five times to be more accurate. (WM6.[5.3] 400mhz device)

.

Manila style sound great, but it looks, at least for the moment, very simple.

Also still get the WM toasters to inform me

.

email integration would be nice too

.

Nice work nonetheless!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ecmaba64:
hmmm... yes... I was worried about something when I was doing it... let's see if I can fix it
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ecmaba64:
- email integration is a nice idea, perhaps I will add it later

- I cannot do much about the WM toasters.. you could try a Sense-based ROM?

- I am afraid I couldn't do much about that either... unless I redeveloped it from scratch without .NET, which I won't do unfortunately... It does run quite nicely in newer machines though! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ecmaba64:
Remove importance colours sets the colours for high and low importance to light grey.

Don't worry about the translation ones, I will disable them in the next version
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Maroon:
Suggestion:

Since this is a setting belonging to Appearance, I suggest have a On/Off switch under Colour (above Urgent items and Non-urgent items) that says "Show colours". If Off, then the Urgent and Non-urgent buttons is disabled.
[HD2 General] dandruff333:
While trying to adjust the volume on the HTC music player tab using the left hardware volume rocker the music temporarily cuts for about 2-3 seconds before the volume changes. There is no visual volume indicator on the screen either. Also the increments are pretty large.

I am running 1.48

Does anyone have this problem? Help please!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sabelbas:
Hi guys, no more stupid questions, i hope

I have recently managed to get a GBC emulator working and i was thinking how much easier life would be if i could create a small keyboard that i could use to press.

Any ideas on where i could read up regarding creating a keyboard, or whether someone has beaten my thought process to teh punch ?

regards
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nathanpc:
You can create one by just developing a simple application that will be a tranparent form, without menubars, titles and etc. then add a tranparent frame on the place that you want the keyboard and put buttons or ImageBoxes as the keys.

Also remember to make the application OnTop ;)

If you want I can suggest some tutorial to read about tranparency, hiding menubars and tiles..., but all in C# ;)

Enjoy and Good Development! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sabelbas:
sob sob sounds so intense :(

but yes tutorial me

im currently building an arcade machine though and im heading overseas and was hoping to have the little proggie downloaded from somewhere :P

but if you think its easy to make a little graphic representation of the keys of a gameboy and use that as my keyboard ... hit me up :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nathanpc:
First of all: Which language you use to develop for WM?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Bloodyf:
?

Is the code possible to right in c++?
[Android Apps and Games] bradycl_84043:
Was driving around yesterday afternoon, and found myself in a parking lot for the better part of an hour trying to navigate the redbox.com site to find and reserve the movie my spousal and progeny units were waiting for at home, and the site was just bloody difficult to use with the G1 browser.

I'm not a developer (don't even play one on TV), but I was just thinking if there is someone out there who is who might agree that it is useful, a redbox app that let you locate and reserve movies at local redboxes would be flat out awesome.

YMMV... :)

Brady
[Android Apps and Games] Brainze:
YES!

I fully agree with this one.

I blow-up my local Redbox at least 3 times a week and would love to see this happen.
[Android Apps and Games] del4:
+1

Really irritates me that there are so many handy iPhone apps out there that would run just as well on our WM phones, but aren't being developed for them. Come on people, show us WM users some love! :(
[Android Apps and Games] ivanmmj:
Agreed... but this is the Android application forum, not the WM forum.

They should just make a good java based app that is cross-platform.
[Android Apps and Games] Brainze:
Redboxer has been released by DroidSoftDev and is available on the market!!
[Android Apps and Games] Brainze:
This program works VERY well.

It does everything that Redbox.com allows you to do and it's FASTER! :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] m0bstar:
Warning,

Only Available for 2.0+ framework, so us G1 Users and MT3G Users can not use it unless you have a working flashed 2.0 rom.
[Android Apps and Games] Brainze:
Oops... yeah, i forgot to mention that. i'm running eclair.
[Android Apps and Games] Brainze:
MAN!! I decided to go back to a 1.6 based ROM...

CRAP! I forgot that this app doesn't work with them! BAH!
[Android Apps and Games] magicalan:
i always use redbox haha i know 2 codes that always work for 1 free rental but with different cards obviously cant use them more than once

[Imagio General] slumpey326:
anyone able to figure out the reg fix for this, stuck on 3hrs I believe. I would love to be able to change it to an automatic update every 30 mins.
[Shift General] cybericebyte:
I have recenly noticed that all updates and support for the HTC Shift is no longer available on The HTC web site I was looking for the update for the finger print scanner and lo-and-behold nothing this is a bummer has the shift alreafdy ran its technoloigy life-cycle? :(
[Shift General] saiweb:
No it still exists

At least on UK site of HTC. I know they dropped it from US Site. http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=60&act=sd&cat=all

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] crossik:
How unhide extended rom on TD2 or get t-mobile customization from ROM?

Previous method probably not working.

I not have folder TRUEFFS_DOC1 in registry.

Thanks

Peter
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] UfOuN:
TD2 not have ext rom
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] crossik:
ok, thanks.

Then, where can I find t-mobile customisation?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
You will find it with a google search and a little reading, no other way. :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JesperO:
Was just looking around and found the wvga port for Touchpro2 of the "Tilewave" from Xperia2.

Do you think it'll be able to get ported to VGA sometime in the near future?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
blackstone also got the panel options from x1 but it never went beyond that to other devices then wvga ones

got it working on my x1 but removed it again it don't run too well

and it's not that great imho

imho pointui is a better today screen panel then titlewave
[General Questions and Answers] alexinmtv:
Hi --

I've had a read through a few posts and couldn't see anything that directly addresses this so following the advise on the wiki and not t-mobiles to remove the battery I'm posting here.

Phone:

G1

Firmware 1.6

Kernel 2.6.29.6-cm42

Mod version Cyanogenmod-4.2.7.1

Build DRC83

Astro File Manager tells me:

SD Card Usage

Capacity: 968.2M

Used:379.44M

Free: 588.81M

Troubles:

1. The 'low storage' warning appears to be permanently on, it seemed to be tied to having just installed (now uninstalled) the dolphin browser but with the app now off my phone the warning is still there. Using less than 50% doesn't seem like it should trigger a Low Storage warning to me?

2. No SMS's coming in.. I've sat with a friend, watched them text me and someone else on a group text and I've received nothing. I read on a few forum posts that storage issues can impact the SMS service but given the free storage on the phone...

Any advice, ideas or more information needed to help me get this little fella working again would be great

Alex
[General Questions and Answers] bradpitcher:
Some exact problems here. I would to respectfully bump this.
[General Questions and Answers] Nemo_3_2:
I have the same problem, same phone but version 4.2.13

Have tried uninstalling Dolphin Browser and some other apps to try to free up some space

after freeing up about 8MB and a reboot my phone started syncronising and getting notifications again, not had any text messages yet.

Have just received some text messages so problem seems to be either Dolphin Browser or a lack of memory.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f8al:
even the home screen, i leave it there and it opens the quicksearch and just starts adding "..............................'s" it does it in messages as well, but while im typing itll also switch to the alternate keyboard so my texts end up looking like "hi i a| b{$%#@" ive tried doing a factory data reset and reinstalled the 1.6 dev phone image and cm 4.7.2.1

im thinking its a hardware issue, anyone have any ideas?

also, whats the easiest way to revert it back to stock software so i can send it back to tmobile if they send me a new phone?

TIA,

f8al
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Probably a stuck "." button on your keyboard. Probably just needs to be taken apart and cleaned. You might have luck just by pushing it a bunch of times and shooting it with compressed air.

If you must send it back, just write the stock system image to it. If it's tmobile branded, then you'll be looking for the "RC29 NBH" file.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
The space bar also is common for sticking... it pressed twice = a period.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f8al:
thanks guys, im not sure if im ready to take the phone apart as im still in warranty, but i got tmobile to send me a new one, im unrooting the old one and sending it back.

thanks again guys, if i have this issue again, ill make sure i keep ur suggestions in mind
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
You don't need to take it apart to blast it with compressed air... :rolleyes:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AverageCanadian:
or just try running your thumb against the bottom row of your keyboard, hopefully unsticking whichever key is causing the issue.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Well, someone is going to be getting a great "refurb."
[HD2 General] onisuk:
right had this phone a few weeks now got most of the little niggles sorted with this forums help just a few others that bug me ....

1: there is a separate system and ringer volume ...but if you set one it changes the other!! they are not independent. this is a major bug for me because if i have my phone on vibrate while im at work, if i then want to listen to music at work i plug in my headphones and have to turn up the volume to listen to the music. but if i then take out my headphones the phone is now on loud. and if i forget and leave it on i get told off at work ! lol

2: the age old text reply problem. 200+ messages (and no i dont want to delete them) means a big wait to reply to a message ....stupid !

3: the lock screen slider is very odd, sometimes it will unlock with one slide and other times it will take a few goes...and if your showing off your new phone to someone it just looks crap because you cant even unlock it ! can the area of touch sensitivity around the lock button be increased in size to make it easier to unlock ??? :confused:

anyway cheers Dom
[HD2 General] DMAND:
1. The volumes can be set seperatley if you choose to, by default they are linked. To set them seperately you simply go to settings sounds and display, and set single volume to off!

2. You can use Microsoft MyPhone to archive your text messages, ie not deleted but not on your phone. I did this with 2000 messages that I dont really need to be stored on the phone.

3. No lock issues here, to increase the area would sort of defeat the whole point of the lock button :p
[HD2 General] maati:
Just disable HTC Messaging and the problem is gone.

I wonder why people are still complaining about this, the fix is as easy as it gets. Really nothing worth talking about.
[HD2 General] onisuk:
1: wow how did i not see that ?!?! i've looked in the menu about a million times ! haha cheers

2: yeah i have used that too but some messages i like to have with me so i can read them back......sentimental old sod i am...

3: i guess if no one else is having trouble it must just be me ! lol
[HD2 General] RichardC:
You can disable the lock screen, if you want, with the following Registry setting:

[HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd] "DeviceLockWhenSuspend"=dword:0
[HD2 General] onisuk:
right tried that and you still cant have the ringer on vibrate and the system on loud .... if you click vibrate on either it sets the other !!!!!!!!!:(
[HD2 General] maati:
This is normal for Windows Mobile and has nothing to do with HTC.

I don't know if there's a workaround.
[HD2 General] onisuk:
well i dont care if its htc or win mobile .... its annoying ! lol
[HD2 General] isangelous:
If you use something more powerful like G-Profile you can set up profiles with, for example, your txt/calls set to vibrate only. (Dont change the ringer volume to vibrate, instead change the incoming call notification to vibrate only. You can of course do this in Settings, but its easier with profiles)

It seems G-Profile is no longer free, but I am sure there are free alternatives if you search around.
[HD2 General] maati:
Not that I want to be rude, but other phones cannot even set different volumes for system/ringer. E.g. on the iPhone, you only get ONE volume and you can't do anything about it.

Actually, it's already a huge advantage of Windows Mobile that is has that feature.

And it's a huge advantage that there are programs like G-Profile that give you even more options.
[HD2 General] onisuk:
yeah i know but this is the first non-nokia phone i've had in about 5 years so its all a learning curve for me ! on the nokias you had profiles too so i guess i'll try this g-profile thingy ! thanks again ....
[HD2 General] yosagojimbo:
not sure if I'm correct here but I thought the messaging fix stopped mms working,

if wrong.sorry but I need to use both sms and mms
[HD2 General] pckshd:
This is a major issue with the HTC HD2 Tachi dialer v4.2621.1920.3221 (standard factory dialer)

During an incoming call, Tachi dialer will enable the ANSWER hardware key (which is actually not that “hard” to press).

Possible consequences:

1. Auto answer a call while phone in pocket or bag and never notice it (especially if phone in mute or if ambient noise high)

2. While taking out of pocket or leather case, if ANSWER key pressed and then END pressed, call will drop.

In other words:

[EDIT: SOLVED]

Solution alternatives for this issue:

Use Pocketshield and set Settings > Phone > On Incoming call > "Lock hardware keys"

- or -

Use In Call Lock along with tweak in post #39
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
It's been this way with all their previous phones. Of course they won't fix it because it's not a bug.
[HD2 General] pckshd:
Yes, the difference is that in all previous phones you can use a key locking solution... but not here so far.

Considering the fact that hard keys are now not too hard, it could be a functional issue (not bug exactly)
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
While I wholeheartedly agree that this is utterly annoying (and it breaks my own application, InCall Lock), I'm 199% confident they won't "fix" anything. Because they just won't, and also because if they do it they will get even more support calls with complaints that the answer button doesn't answer the call.
[HD2 General] profahmad:
Try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=556801. I haven't used it on my HD2 yet but it worked perfectly on my Touch Pro. It completely disables the hardware buttons during a call so only the screen can answer/reject.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
That's a program I wrote and I know it doesn't work on HD2. :)
[HD2 General] profahmad:
Dammit, I was going to start using it.
[HD2 General] Xeon:
This is a very annoying thing with the HD2, nobody came up with a solution yet?
[HD2 General] czbird:
Are you planning on releasing an HD2-compatible update? :)
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Whenever I figure out what the hell is wrong with those buttons, and if it's fixable, I will, because it annoys the hell out of me, too. No good news yet though - I don't know what to do at the moment. It should work, it works on all WM5+ devices except the Leo.

We also need proximity sensor tweaks, because the way it works now is just horrible. When you end a call using a headset the screen stays on. When you have an incoming call while using your headset it stays on during the whole call and remains on after that, completely unlocked.
[HD2 General] Free Man:
This is definitely by design on HTC's part and as others have mentioned has been this way on all prior HTC phones, at least of the 4 that I have owned. Personally have have not had an "accidental" answering once from the hardware key, it still takes an effort and timing to push this exactly while the phone is ringing. I doubt this will be "fixed", your best bet would be to find someone here that is as concerned as you are about it, or possible a future app that might address this need.
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
Perhaps if HTC decide not to 'fix' this problem as they see it as "by-design" then instead they can just fix the fact the button ignores 3rd party lockers? Best of both worlds then.. :)

Anyways I've dropped them an email to suggest such, one little voice I know but if enough people do similar than lots of little voices can sound quite loud..
[HD2 General] pckshd:
Exactly. That is what HTC has to change. To just have the phone application to behave as all previous models do, so 3rd party applications can coexist...
[HD2 General] Lennart88:
Would very much like to see a solution for this problem indeed.

Goodluck to the ones with the skills capable of doing so.
[HD2 General] appelflap:
That's hilarious. It works perfectly on my 1.48 Dutch ROM. Thanks for this great utility (pity though, you yourself can't use it :p )
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Hmm, maybe 1.48 changes something in the way keys are handled. :) Nice to know. Does it lock both Send and End buttons properly?
[HD2 General] appelflap:
Yes, like you have designed to do. But I will look at the configuration of my device. I have another app installed that traps my buttons. I will report back if I can break your app. :) Otherwise, assume that I'm perfectly happy with it.

(Btw. as far as I can recollect, the app also worked on my pre-installed 1.43 Dutch Rom.)
[HD2 General] appelflap:
Fixed (more or less)

OK, here is your fix. Create a long_send.lnk and place it in the windows folder. After that your app. does more or less what it is intended to do.

The weirdest thing is that when the send button is pressed when the phone is called (and your utility activated) the "long send" command is triggered.

(Edit for users that can't recompile your program:) to let it behave as it is supposed to, copy the phone.lnk in the startup/programs folder to the windows directory and rename it long_send.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Hmm that's even more strange - I have an action assigned to long send press via a shortcut and the program still doesn't work. I had an idea about writing a separate tiny program assigned to short press that would replace default action but haven't gotten to it yet. Is anybody willing to test whether short_send.lnk works (I.e. breaks the send button functionality)?
[HD2 General] pckshd:
If you are using the WM dialer or maybe Phonex or Inesoft phone then there is no issue. Issue is with Tachi dialer only..

I have also flashed 1.48 and its all the same.
[HD2 General] Lord.Nibbler:
* Adding short_send.lnk and/or long_send.lnk doesn't work for me neither (send button still answers the call :( ) (French 1.43 ROM)

@appelflap : what is the "other app" that traps keys you have installed ?

* How is it possible to go back to the WM dialer ? Will a regedit / cab install be enough or flashing ROM is required ?

Thanks,

Nibbler
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Dammit, just what did they do to buttons on this device? And why the hell did they do it???
[HD2 General] Lord.Nibbler:
HTC ... Quietly Annoying ? :p

I also tried S2U2 and it doesn't work either :(

The question is why does it work on appelflap device ?

Maybe the hardware button doesn't work on his phone :D

If some other user reading this thread have a NLD ROM can you please test if you have the issue or not ?

Thanks ! :)
[HD2 General] pckshd:
Tachi dialer has that key event hardcoded. When you press that key the first and the only one catching it will be Tachi.

The weird is that END button just works the traditional way (even having a new/dual functionallity which is end and power off)

Really I find no reason why they did it this way. Unless it is not an HTCs but Tachi's fault (which can be a partner developing it). In that case, bad for HTC for not deep testing!
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
How do you know that?

I don't quite grasp how an application can hardcode a system event within itself. A driver must for some reason not report proper key events in case you use this dialer. But it still has to know about this event, and the dialer is not the driver - otherwise third-party and WM standard dialers wouldn't work.
[HD2 General] pckshd:
Most likely it is inside phcanhtc.dll

I just replaced it by a Diamond phcanhtc.dll and solved the problem (but display is VGA)

Also when you set HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled=0 the problem is gone (because you are telling the system to no use phcanhtc.dll and use WM core phone)
