If that happens to you after you just started (soft-reset) your device, then what likely happened is that an internal process (I suspect its actually launched via \Windows\StartUp) reset your keyboard to the default iPhone fake.

If this is the case, try to use SIP Change (must be installed to the device) to automatically set your keyboard back to "fingerkeyboard2" after each restart.

As far as *permanently" disabling the stock keyboard alternative goes (and the ability to switch is what that nasty triangle is all about), I know that there is a Registry Entry where you can specify what Input Methods (-> "keyboards") are available.

Removing the built-in keyboard from there would only leave the "fingerkeyboard" available.

But I wouldn't want to mess with that, just in case you do need to have a fallback for emergencies.

I would wait for someone to pack that Registry Hack into a CAB file, so you could easily re-activate the built in stock keyboard when needed.
[HD2 General] pharao:
PS: Add-On to the above. I found that using an application like "rotate.exe" to shortly switch the HD2 to landscape mode for typing (w/o having to do the hand gyration trick first), helps improve typing accuracy a lot with the fingerkeyboard.

The landscape mode of fkbd is so superior that its almost like using a hardware keyboard.

Last not least don't use the tip of your finger for typing.

Type with the center point of your finger's ridge area.

I know it sounds counter intuitive, because that way you end up covering the whole darn letter you're trying to hit, but at this way you`ll improve typing accuracy a lot.

Remember that a capacitive keyboard does not work via pressure sensing, but through electrical discharge and the skinned ridge part your finger's top section is a lot more conductive than your finger nails or any part close to them.

I have actually gone back to using the HTC keyboard after using Swype for a few months. I am now using Full Qwerty mode with XT9 turned off. I dont need to be told how to spell. So now by using my right index finger, I can type as fast as my lady does on her iPhone. I think that all this spelling correction distracts the eyes from actually focussing on what you are spelling and slows you down in the process.
[HD2 General] Gunzta:
I totally agree, +1 from me.. However I do still wonder why all HD2's don't show this issue if its at driver level. :confused:

I wonder if they are using 2 different manufacturing sources for the capacitive screens, and they are showing ever so slight differences in tollerance from 1 source to the other. So drivers behave fine on 1 type but freak out on the other. :confused:

Is the problem there on all devices, its just that some users are not spotting it ?? or are some HD2's fine ??
[HD2 General] kucsi:
Hi,

it is really only me, who has problem with finger keyboard 2 in landscape mode? I can't use the letters which are next to "space" on the right and left side. I can't push them. No reaction. Can someone help me please?

Many thanks

This thread is not about fingerkeyboard. It's about the HD2 keyboard. Ask in the fingerboard thread if you have specific questions about it.

When i scroll through TouchFlo 3D everything works except when i land on the mail tab, at which point, Touchflo crashes and then immediately restarts. So i can use every tab except for the mail one. Apparently this has something to do with restoring the registry while the PIM.VOL is still active.

Is there a way to solve this problem without a hard reset?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] GuitaristSV:
you can see if there are some applications that can crash the manila tab; else, do an hard reset ;)

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jadesse:
I'll assume that you are running TT7. There are several different versions out there & two different ways they are installed. 1.There a cab's that install directly to you device. 2. There is also just a folder with the files that you copy to your device. Option number 2 you do have to run the program from the file explorer. You could also create a shortcut of the .exe & copy it to your start menu.

I am not sure what ROM you are using but I don't have the task manager in the upper right corner. If you are using a 6.5 Rom & using the default today screen then there is a small application app you can run. It will add an applications panel.

I can send you the TT7 cab if needed & the app file.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] socrate007:
It's simply that Tomtom is minimised. You would see the icon on the main screen if you didn't have Touchflo or Titanium enabled.

I do not see it either in the task manager. It has always been like that for me, no matter if i was on 6.1 or 6.5. Must be a small bug in Tomtom. No real consequence, really!

To end the Tomtom program completely, you must end the program trough Tomtom (3rd page in the main menu).
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jadesse:
I always see TomTom in the task manager. It seems that some of the newer 6.5 builds don't have the pull down task manager in the upper right corner on the screen. When I open the task manager from the start menu TomTom is listed.

You are right though without Touchflo, Manilla, or Titanium there would be an icon on the today screen on the lower right corner.
[Touch CDMA General] Singhman:
i am using nsffan's 6.5 rom. When I run TOMTOM, everythings fine, but when I hit the 'end' button to go back to the today screen, there is no sign of the program running anywhere (by this i mean that when i press the top right corner, it shows other programs that are currently running, but Navigator is not there). I then tried going to to Task manager, and it doesn't show it there either. But if I go into file explorer, and click on the link to launch TomTom, it just instantly opens, and was running the whole time! what the heck...

Just to add...TomTom doesn't show up as a progra anywhere (if I bring up list of programs to add to quick menu, EVERYTHING is there, but not TOMTOM. How can I make it an actual program? The only way to open it is to go into the 'navigator' folder in Program files, and then click on the tomtom launcher icon. any ideas????thank you!!!
[Touch CDMA General] ali3nfr3ak:
go into the tomtom menu on third option page is a option to exit
[Touch CDMA General] Singhman:
I know about how to exit tomtom, but my concern is that if i minimize tomtom to take a call or something, and then I don't go back to tomtom, I will have no idea that its still running in the background until I open it next time. It could be runnign for days, and I won't know. Any ideas?
[Touch CDMA General] ali3nfr3ak:
i guess you would have to remember to go back to tomtom to close it down. or close it down altogether instead of minimizing it, windows default task manager shows wether it is running or not

I'd personally wouldn't flash a Sense 2.5 ROM. I find them too slow.

My personal favorite is Gen.Y's D2 ROM (currently at R5.2). Its regarded over here as one of the most stable roms and I haven't had one crash since I run it (R5 for 3 weeks now)

If you want Sense (aka Manilla 2.5), he also has a Sense ROM: Gen.Y's D2X ROM (Currently at R2)

Try them I'd say.

Also try to flash a new radio, for me 1.17 worked fine (and better than my stock 1.00.07), but 1.13 was a disaster for me (couldn't get data connection). Just try them would be my advise.

For years I have wanted a portable device to hook up to my car coax digital input. Now that I am on the verge of purchasing an android device I am wondering if it can become my goto media source.

What options software or hardware are there to stream music from Android to an external receiver? Creative solution suggestions welcome

- Is there an app that allows streaming from android to the PS3 via wifi?

- Is there hardware that allows digital output from an Android device? This has never been made practical with iPods, is it possible with any Android devices?

- Is there some other solution (blutooth/aiport/etc) to allow this?

If there were an app/peripheral for this, that would be grand indeed.

Restored the post and changed the title:

The moderator who deleted your thread did so as the content seemed more like an advertisment than a description of a problem. I recommend that you cleanup the post such that reads like a problem/question and less like an advertisement for that company.

For example; remove the cost & recommendation to purchase, word the thread along the lines of:

"I'm using BLAHBLAH from BLAHBLAH and have noticed the following problem(s) ..."

"I tried the following things to solve the problem but ..."

"Would appreciate it if someone else could try ..."

"A trial version of BLAHBLAH can be downloaded from URL ..."

Actually, the forum should give the guy a break. He attempted to use some English in his post. Unfortunately, machine translation from Chinese to English does not work out so well sometimes. For example, the translated "brush" actually means in English flash.

I am for one glad that he tried to communicate. There are many very talented Chinese with great skills with HTC phones. It would be a sad loss if XDA-Developers lost some of these talented guys just because of language problems.

I guess we should also all remember that HTC Corp. is a Taiwanese company that has gone global, but still headquartered in Taoyuan, Taiwan, where Taiwanese and Chinese are the languages most commonly used.

HI!

I have a big problem with event handling in VS 2008. I'm writing a GPS program which determine the coordinates, attitude, speed etc. This is a part of a compass program. I'm using the Microsoft's GPS Intermediate Driver. I also use thread to the GPS reading from serial port to not interferre with the UI and the compass because the serial port reading is very slow and stops the compass' spinning for a second at every reading. I was ran through tons of forums and examples about the threads and event handling, but whenever I start the program and the event rises I get this error message:

NotSupportedException

Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleArr(PAL_ERROR ar)

System.Windows.Forms.Control.get_Text()

System.Windows.Forms.Control.set_Text(String value)

O2Compass_VB.Form1._Lambda$__1(Object a0, LocationChangeEventArgs a1)

Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Samples.Location.GPS.WaitForGpsEvents()

The code is the next:

Imports Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Samples.Location
Imports System.Threading
Dim LatRef, LonRef As String
Dim WithEvents GPS As New Gps

'Start GPS readings
GPS.Open()

'Start thread
Dim GPSThread = New Thread(AddressOf GPSDataWriteOut)
GPSThread.Start()

Private Sub GPSDataWriteOut() Handles GPS.LocationChanged
If GPS.GetPosition.Latitude < 0 Then LatRef = "S" Else LatRef = "N"
If GPS.GetPosition.Longitude < 0 Then LonRef = "W" Else LonRef = "E"
If GPS.GetPosition.LatitudeValid Then LatTXT.Text = "Lattitude: " + GPS.GetPosition.Latitude.ToString("#0.0000000") + " " + LatRef
If GPS.GetPosition.LongitudeValid Then LongTXT.Text = "Longitude: " + GPS.GetPosition.Longitude.ToString("#0.0000000") + " " + LonRef
If GPS.GetPosition.SeaLevelAltitudeValid Then AltTXT.Text = "Altitude: " + GPS.GetPosition.SeaLevelAltitude.ToString + " m"
If GPS.GetPosition.SpeedValid Then SpeedTXT.Text = "Speed: " + GPS.GetPosition.Speed.ToString
If (GPS.GetPosition.SatelliteCountValid) And (GPS.GetPosition.SatellitesInViewCountValid) Then SatsTXT.Text = "Sattelites: " + GPS.GetPosition.SatelliteCount.ToString + " / " + GPS.GetPosition.SatellitesInViewCount.ToString
End Sub

And all of this works on the device emulator, but on the phone it's crash. When I'm put the writeouts in a timer it works but then I can't use thread.

Anyone can help me to fix this error? I though the code was right, but always came the same error. What am I doing wrong?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Rapid81:
I managed to solve the problem. :)

The event handling is a different thread, no need to create one to it. And because it's a new working thread, it can't update the label's text of the main thread. So I just pass through the received datas to a variable in the main thread and write it out with a timer if the datas received. :)

A friend and I are looking to buy HD2s when they're released in the CDMA version, but a big concern of ours in the quality of the onscreen keyboard.

I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 at the moment, and he has a Samsung Omnia, and one of his main points-of-jealousy is my hardware keyboard.

I'm hoping the screen size will make an onscreen keyboard more bearable, but...

So, could anyone post comments about the keyboard, and/or post screenshots of the onscreen keyboard in both vertical and horizontal configurations.

I'm really hoping the onscreen keyboard is the same as the HTC HD2s...only larger...
[HD2 General] dgtel2:
Nothing will replace hard keyboard. TP2 is the best so far. Go youtube to review the HD2 virtual keyboard.

If you are fimiliar with TP2 keyboard, you will highly hate the HD2 keyboard. Even Swype or TouchPal Pro are not that perfect yet...
[HD2 General] Archer:
The keyboard is hit or miss, but if you did a poll on here, you'd get people mostly saying it's a hit!

I personally love it, but it did take me a while to get used to it. Also, going through the screen alignment process helps, as it gets the screen aligned to how you use it (as long as you do it in a natural manner, with your thumbs, and not using your finger as a stylus. Who uses their phone like that?? ;))

If you read the forums, you'll see there's some people that don't like the keyboard, but there's also a lot that originally didn't but have got over it. It needs a little practice, but I can type very fast on it now that I'm used to it.

Anyway, here's a couple of screenshots. Hope this has helped :)

[HD2 General] rexboy:
Not sure if this helps but just open a SMS, at the bottom you will see the symbol for your input. Tap it once and a small arrow appears to the right, now tap the symbol again but slightly to the right (ie/ tapping the arrow) and you will see QWERTY with an arrow allowing you to choose phone keypad or qwerty.

both arent bad and the predictive input is clever but i personally prefer Touchpal, i find it more responsive and fast (it keeps up with fast keystroke entry).
