Version 0.8.1 exe only - zip removed

Hi all,

for those who are having problems with the 0.8 version, please overwrite the existing exe with the one in this zip. Please let me know the result.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
also added this request on the first page
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
didn't help - exactly the same error message. Tested on HD2 with Miri's v2.0 rom
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
the error message also contains MAPIMessage.get_Status() ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
Yep. Noticed logs do get generated - there's just one message - "Invalid Type Request"...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
problem is that i am not having this error on my device, but i do have some ideas about what could be wrong. I am still working on it
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jaskiratsingh:
Thanks for the confirmation. Waiting for a fix for the same
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
i am hoping to have a solution in the next day or two.

Since i currently am not having this issue on my own device i would very much like to hear if anyone is able to startup the application without problems.

Version 0.8.1 exe only - second attempt at fix

Hi all,

second attempt of providing a fix for those who are having problems with the 0.8 version. I have updated the first post with a new exe only zip.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mad_a_22:
hi...

i have not try this one yet but i have a question. is the sms's are in threaded form or a chat style. like when you reply, the messages send to you can be seen on top.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
it is displayed at follows:

reply from contact at 11:10

send a mesage to contact at 10:30

reply from contact at 10:00

send a message to a contact at 09:00

so in this example the 11:10 item will be displayed first and the 09:00 item last
[Windows Mobile Software Development] WinterMage:
BTW, are you planning to release the source code?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wapvirus:
Thanks for your hard work it is now working for me ,just found a bug if you go in to drafts folder the application crashes (Null Reference Exception) probably nothing as the app is still in early stages ,Gesture switching is a little weird as it doesn't always work first time :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
thank you for testing this. the next version will have the fix included.

i will look into the mentioned issues
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cyanide911:
Nice app. Can someone work on it's looks?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jaskiratsingh:
Tried your latest exe but the application neither opens nor throws an error message. I can see the wait cursor and nothing happens
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
how many messages do you have in the inbox?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
oh yeah, noticed with latest beta 0.8 exe that S2S exits properly now and doesn't seem to leave a hung process around.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
thanks for mentioning this, i forgot that i had already included the code change in the exe!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jaskiratsingh:
I have threaded messaging and i think over 1300 messages
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
the current version will probably not startup very fast because of this but i would think that it should complete loading after some time.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
update on new version

Hi all,

just an update that i am hoping to release a new version soon (version 0.8.5)

this version will have

bugfix: Startup error

bugfix: using Menu - Exit does not fully terminate the program

Some UI changes

Some small bugfixes

Option to delete all messages in a conversation

i am currently still working on a possible solution for the performance issues. But this will probably not make it into the next version but is scheduled for version 0.9

on another note, if users would like to use their own images in the application, all images in the UI folder can be replaced with your own. The program resizes the images if needed, but for best results please use the same dimensions at the original images.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
Version has been released, please see first post.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mebarg:
i tried 0.8.5

the order of de mesages is wrong

i am using a spanish rom

thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
conversation mode should group the messages by contact name /number and ordered by date, with the oldest message last and the latest message first in the list. How exactly are the messages sorted on your device?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wapvirus:
Thanks for your hard work releasing a new version, still same error when opening drafts (Null Reference Exception)

Great work thanks again :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
0.8.5 works great for me - loads fairly fast, all the functions seem to work (inbox, outbox), quits fine. Not sure about the Drafts null exception though, because I didn't have any draft messages.

Just noticed one bug so far:

* Messages from a sender not in my Contacts appear at the bottom of the initial conversation screen instead of chronological order? All the other messages appear to be sorted chronologically.

Suggestions:

* Option to sort chronologically ascending or decending?

* Swiping left/right for the new message / folder pages seems still be a bit unsensitive - have to swipe several times to get there. How about having a Slider instead?

* Sliders need to be slightly "taller" in WVGA... just a bit too small imo.

* Theme support (if it's not setup already :))

Thanks! This is shaping up nicely :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
hey mb286, just found a bug in the send sms function. instead of sending a sms it just dropped the message in the outbox. the message produced was also not able to be deleted either. in fact, slide 2 send actually crashed when I attempted to do so.

the message had a "0 0" in the from field.

guessing it's an issue with htc messaging that comes with sense 2.5. don't recall having this problem back on ver 0.5 / one of the really early ones though..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
i have actually also encountered this problem yesterday. I am looking into this.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] X1iser:
I have find some bugs

When push "Back" button in "Unknow contact" form, I go back to inbox view.

To slide in WVGA, we must drag the edge of the screen from right to left.

One suggestion, the possibility to hide SIM contacts with the reg key integration of Windows Mobile

French language with ASCII code for accent

Thanks for all your works ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mebarg:
the main windows sorts by contact mane in inverse order (z to a)

then in the thread window they are sorted correctly

but the text is to short (uses half the width or the window) and the arrow is in the middle of the window

i hope you can comprend my bad english

bye

Some small bugfixes
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wapvirus:
App crashes when i try to enter Drafts folder, Messages seem to have no order my newest message was at the bottom of my list in inbox (should be top)

i am running 6.1 and manila sense 2.5 :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
Confirmed - I have the same problems - tested on HD2 with 6.5.x build 23549, manila 2.5.2012
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
thank you for your comments. i will look into this. Could you also test it with <debug>1</debug> in the settings.xml and tell me the message in the log ? The settings.xml and the log file are present in the same location as the application
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
Hmm, I set debug to 1 but no log got generated (at least not in the dir where settings.xml was).

The .net error refers to a NullPointerException at Slide2Send.FormFolderList.FillFolderList at Slide2Send.FormFolderList.Startup() at Slide2Send.Slide2SendForm.OnLoad etc...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
Suggestion: have you thought about using the Sense look'n'feel .net UI controls from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=648906 ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
this is already enough information for me to work with. thanks!

i have yet to decide what direction i want to go with the skinning. (make it myself for me to learn or use existing options). decent skinning is planned but I first want to iron out any problems in the program logic.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ethermind:
Excellent app!! Waiting for release candidate!

what's about background picture skinning? )

what's about landscape resolution? )

scrolling up down is too slow

sliding left right is too slow

bug: rectangular contact image becomes a square, please fix it

[Windows Mobile Software Development] keung18:
too slow.... I wait 5 seconds for start up the software. And wait 2 second to enter conversation mode.....

I use htc touch.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
the slow startup time is something i am still working on. having said that, startup time is currently also greatly dependent on the cpu speed of the device.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ethermind:
It is slow as hell!

And still squared rectangular photos of contacts. My girls looks like aliens : )
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zinconnu:
Yes, it's slow, but it's an excellent app. Wait for an update, thanks again for your work! :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Haywood85:
is there any way this is even possible on the touch pro 2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andypa1:
Hi guys, any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Last week I plugged my touch pro 2 in to charge. The phone was on and working fine, but the charging light would not come on.

So HTC collected my phone for repair...

Today I phoned to get the latest information and they want £160 to replace the motherboard or £11 to have the phone returned to be unrepaired. Apparently I have been running an illegal firmware and this has voided my warranty. I updated by firmware many times before settling on the one I was happy with, but it seems the one I settled with wasn't the official one. The guy quoted me SPL - 0.85.0-x.......... and said that it was a bit weird but that was why I had to pay.

So I told him that the firmware had been running fine for many months and I wanted to know the exact registry tweak that had broken the motherboard. Anyway I said I didnt accept that the firmware had anything to do with the hardware failure and would be refusing to pay.. I also gave them the sob story that I have had a new HTC phone every year for the past 7 years and have recommended many customers to them.

Where do I stand with this? I have threatened to go to the small claims court, but really just want my phone fixed for free as soon as possible.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated..

Andy
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tweiss3:
Honestly you asked for this. You are going to have to pay for the repair. You sent in a phone with a cracked ROM and expect them to fix anything? No way in hell will they do it for free.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andypa1:
when you say a cracked rom do you just mean a rom that is available on this forum?

I accept that it isn't an official rom. but it is unrelated to the issue of a phone not charging.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
Unfortunately this is the norm... They can't prove your cooked ROM caused it, you can't prove it didn't. What they can prove is that you are not running the ROM they gave you and I'm sure somewhere in the T&C there's legalese about that voiding the warranty.

COULD someone write a program which interferes with charging? I'd bet so, people around here write some amazing stuff. This is not to make any accusations that someone has written any malicious code, simply that it COULD likely be done, therefore I seriously doubt you have much recourse. You could get lucky, but I suspect you're just hosed.. Sucks.

And in reality, you could send the phone in for ANY failure and they discover such things and void the warranty.

I guess you could buy extra/larger batteries and charge them in a charger and swap them as they die. Not the best solution, but at least you don't have to shell out lots of money.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andypa1:
well i've just sent a very professional email to customer services.

tweiss 3, you have a very negative outlook. HTC market their phones on being individual, and indeed this is why so many of us buy them over Iphones. However I took the individuality to the limit by installing a custom firmware. I am extremely confident that a ROM from this forum and a respected chef at that, would not include a registry hack that has any effect upon the charging system of the phone. And have asked them for the evidence that this is the cause of the hardware malfunction.

:-) Positive thinking goes along way as well I feel.

Season's greetings to all of you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Chainfire:
Take them to court. The whole thing rediculous. Depending on your country this might actually be illegal.

I lawyered up when they tried to pull this on me, and guess who got his phone back fixed for free?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tweiss3:
Its not that i'm negative, but there are 2 things everyone should know about warranty electronic work.

1) Always go back to stock. Will this cause you to loose all your data and settings, yes, but that leads me into step 2.

2) It is never a guarantee to come back with the settings or OS the way you sent it out. In fact, most companies have a policy of the first step being just reflash/reinstall the OS to stock default out of the box settings to see if that fixes the problems. So knowing this, spend the few extra minutes to reflash back to stock.

That being said, you could possibly win in a court to get it warrantied, but you are only going to screw yourself out of a lot of money and time. HTC knows this and will let you waste it if you really feel the need to. Their warranties are written very well, with a lot of fine print. Also most of them say "Limited" meaning almost they have all the discretion the care to use.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] deeken:
I agree with tweiss3. You can't send HTC a phone with a modified ROM and expect them to fix it. I'm sure these SOB's will do anything possible to get out of fixing your phone. Once they saw that you had a different SPL that was the red flag they needed to void the warranty. I hope you can convince them to fix your phone. Maybe if you were very persistent and demanded to speak to several managers, told them how you and your friends all own HTC product, inform them you will no longer buy their products and possibly take them to court, etc.

With all this in mind I'm even more hesitant to flash my phone to a modified ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MiniDevil:
I kind of expect it, to be honest. As soon as they see anything not stock, they can void the warranty. Just like with a car with the manufacturer's warranty. You modify it and something breaks, and they will attempt to void the entire warranty regardless of if it caused the problem or not. When I send my car in for warranty work, I take all of the mods off and put it back to the stock parts (the air intake, etc).

It's a crappy deal, I know. But it's something you should plan for if you ever need warranty work done.

Either way, I hope everything works out for you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] princeasi:
Its just a rule of thumb when it comes to warranty repair with electronics, always restore stock first!!! As soon as HTC discovered that your phone software was modified, it's no longer an issue to them of what caused the problem with your phone, it is now an issue of this phone is no longer under warranty because of the physical proof of the software tamperment! honestly it would be by the grace of god if they were to reinstate the warranty!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andypa1:
Unfortunatly due to the phone not powering on, or connecting via usb it would have been impossible to restore the firmware.

Thanks for the advice and well wishers.

Worse come to the worse is it worth repairing the phone for that price or is their anyone else who could replace the mainboard for cheaper than £160?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] freak4dell:
Dude, I totally know what you're going through. I hacked the ECU on my car, and now Mazda won't honor the warranty on my engine. It's total bull...I mean, I should be able to customize it how I want with no repercussions for myself. Why should I have to take the financial hit just because I put on a different software that controls the entire thing that may or may not have screwed it up?

If you couldn't tell, I was being sarcastic. You changed the core controlling software and didn't bother to change it back to the stock one. They have no responsibility to repair it for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
I honestly wish you luck. Other readers seeking warranty repair should save themselves the risk and the effort and think positively about returning the phone to stock prior to sending it in.

Eh? Obviously if you can't flash it back, you're stuck. Other posters might not have been as hard on you if they had known the phone couldn't be flashed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
Now you know what needs doing I bet you can find someone to do it for less. Worth a look.

Also worth asking for it back and re-flashing and returning to see how their records work.

Do they really have a database of products they don't want to work with or do they just look at the serial, look at the device and decide ? Only one way to find out ! For £11 it might be worth the gamble.

(Plz ignore the previous any post made here earlier, I think it was the equivalent of a pocket call )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] freak4dell:
What?

I don't think he ever said they fixed it without asking him. They gave him two options:

1) Fix it

2) Return it without repairing it

Unless I missed a post somewhere, he never chose to fix it. In fact, I don't even think he chose to take it back yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andypa1:
Just an update... They decided not to replace it for free, and still ask for £160.

You guys are quite right I should have restored it to factory before sending it back. It was sent to HTC running the official upgraded rom so I thought it would be fine, however I had forgotten that it would still be unlocked for unofficial roms and they would check this.

Even if I had remembered it wouldn't have been possible because the phone usb connection was not working..

dik23 thank you for your suggestion! Is there anyway of restoring the spl and all of the phone to stock settings without a usb connection? e.g. micro sd? or wifi?

I think i'm going to ask for the phone back for £11.. However the £11 fee is for an assesment, so there is a chance they will pick up. However I believe having the phone in perfect working condition would give me a stronger standing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] madman1520:
did you ever try a different USB cable? that would be my first thought after it broke....

also, do you have phone insurance? if so, is there any chance in the future it could be "stolen" under the insurance policy, and at worst you would get a working refurb?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andypa1:
I don't have phone insurance but it might be worth while getting it soon incase of any future loss ;-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
Even setting morality aside (which you shouldn't), reporting a phone as having been stolen shortly after having a warranty claim rejected is maybe not the smartest move.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xcesivemastub8ah:
i cant believe people from the US are telling you youre in the wrong. idunno about other countries, including the one you're at, but here in the US warranties are made to protect the CONSUMER not the big company. "minidevil"s comparison about a car manufacturer having the right to void your warranty is so wrong its unbelievable. so called "shrinkwrap warranties" arent even legal here in the US. i had a yamaha R1 which i used as a track bike. regardless of what the warranty said or what the dealership try to claim the minute i lawyered up they fixed my bike. simply because they knew what they hoped i didnt. that warranty laws are here to protect me not them. i didnt have to prove that the racing mods didnt fry my clutch hub. THEY had to prove it did. and like it has been said, you cant prove one way or another. here in the US i couldve asked for costs of repairing my bike and court costs for suing them. they knew this and just fixed my bike. again, idunno the laws in your country. its VERY likely youll win in a court, though. but wether or not your court system allows you to also recoup loss monies for court costs from HTC, i dont know.. it may just be cheaper to pay for the repairs.
