[Dash 3G, Snap General] raphaelc:
Hi all.

I have a brand new HTC Snap and just upgraded the ROM to version 6.5 (french version). When I modify a profile (normal for exemple) and set incoming calls to Ring + Vibrate, when I receive a call it only rings but doesn't vibrate. Note that when I set to Vibrate profile, it vibrates Ok. Does anybody else has this issue ?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] raphaelc:
found it

never mind, i found the problem. i think this is a WM 6.5 bug. if you go through the home screen to Profile and change the Normal profile to ring & vibrate it doesn't change. however, if you go through Start -> Settings -> Profile, and change from there, then it works. go figure.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] cinimod1000:
I think you will find that if you use the volume control it will rewrite all the profiles that you set paramates for. The new 6.5 volume control allows you to set a volume, or vibrate, or silent. When you select any of these, it rewrites all profiles to make it work.

I suspect HTC did this, to "enhance" the volume control. Unfortunately they totally messed up with regards the profles, and effectively made them unusuable.

I have now reverted back to 6.1 on my Dash 3G, as I rely on the "automatic" feature of profiles in meetings, everyday.

HTC, or anyone who can help - is there a way to have 6.5 with the 6.1 volume? It seems from what little I can find on the subject in forums, that not many people seem to care about the "profiles" anyway. It's a shame, as this is a big feature in WinMo - the settings you can have for each profile -compared to other OS's.........

Anyone?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] cinimod1000:
UPDATE:

Looks like the volume rocker actualy updates the registry each time at:

HKCU/ControlPanel/Sound Categories/Notifications OR Reminders.......

Ring vol and vib seem to work ok on Ookba's 2.6 beta rom, but the Reminders and Notifications are screwed up. HTC's fault, not Ookba's. Oh well, back to 6.1again for the moment.....

Any solution out there that anyone knows of? Pleeaassee?!!!!
[Dash 3G, Snap General] raphaelc:
not anoying

Ok, I see the volume rocker problem, but that's not really a problem for me since I don't use it a lot, I just use the 3 profiles Normal, Vibrate and Silent and set the volume permenantly in each profile settings. Thanks for the feedback.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] azieba:
Htc screwed up the profiles in WM 6.5 with their custom volume interface. I had the same problem, it always reverts to HTCs defaults. To fix it you need to perform a registry hack. Under HKLM\services\htcvolume change prefix=VOL to prefix=NOVOL and reboot your phone. This will bypass the HTC Volume overlay and use traditional WM volume interfaces. The only thing you lose is the quick links to silent and vibrate via the volume rocker panel.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] pedrovay2003:
Do you know if this fixes the problem where the System Volume does nothing? I upgraded to 6.5 (T-Mobile stock version) and the Ring Volume in the profiles affects both the Ring and the System -- In fact, if you completely mute the System Volume, you still get noise. Does this registry hack fix that, too? If it does, then man, you rock.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] azieba:
I believe so, I have a VZW Ozone and my system volume turned off in my profiles, yet when the phone rings, it rings correctly. I am not sure what system volume is for, so I don't know what to check against when I turned the System Volume up. The fix is easy, I would try it. Reverting is very easy, you just put the registry setting back to VOL. VOL is just a variable that is called when you use the rocker keys and the HTCVolume service is listening for. By changing it, you never initiate the HTCVolume Overlay.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] pedrovay2003:
Awesome, I'll try this.

If you want to test the system volume, go to a file and act as though you're deleting it. Hear that blip sound it gives you as a warning before you confirm the delete? The System Volume will affect that. On my phone, the System Volume can be completely muted, but if the Ring Volume is turned up, that blip will still be deafening. Kinda sucks when doing stuff like listening to music and then getting a call in the middle of it -- Especially when wearing headphones.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Calleh:
I had to try this out, unfortunately I can't edit the String in the registry. I'm using CeRegistryEditor, maybe someone could suggest another program that may change stuff like that?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] azieba:
If you want a registry editor on the Phone -- PHM Registry Editor is the one I used.

If you want to use a registry editor on your PC (with your phone hooked up via USB), you can use Mobile Registry Editor 1.1

Sorry, it won't let me post URLs
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Calleh:
No problem : ) Google is easy enough. Sweet, it worked with PHM! THanks ^^
[Dash 3G, Snap General] aperkins75080:
Worked for me

I used the registry hack and it worked great for me. Thanks so much. I was about to go back to WM6.1 or even WM5 because I use the profiles so much and it was driving me nuts! I have WM 6.5 on my first gen dash and it's like a new phone. I love it now!
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Bones Justice:
I am really liking my Dash 3G. The only problem I have had was sometimes on my reminders, the volume would be silent. I tracked it down to when I used the side volume buttons. After making the registry change (using Total Commander) suggested in this thread, I have not had anymore problems.

Thanks!

Hi,

Does that mean that the rocker becomes useless afteward ? Is there a way to recycle this button for something else ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] koolgtz:
Does any one know of or can make a cab that only uses the four direction keys of the full Qwerty key board to be displayed on the screen for only when needed. This would give control of up/down and left/right without sliding ot key board, the screen won't be blocked by the other keys and last you could play older games that require some some keys to control movement. If possible add center button between directional keys for action. Anyone interested please add comment, Thanks :D

note this is needed if only by me. please make me this cab.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Metallic-Force:
For ***'s sake is your post ROM related?

It has been done, I tried looking for it but i'm not sure where it is. But it wasn't just an edit from the current keyboard, but rather a whole different keyboard skin.

For future refrence, look at the different sections of the fourm to post this in the right section.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dwizzy130:
EZInput 2.1 has the collapsible directional keys.

[G1 Apps and Games] Pinesal:
I'm writing this because I see a lot of people using Home++ or GDE and I admit I have them installed too, even purchased GDE but I find myself always going back to Dxtop. But it seems hardly anyone uses it I think I know why.

Most of the options and cool things the app does are not obvious. I will attempt to explain it's unique features and why I think it's the best.

Ok the first thing you notice when you start it, is the two tab interface, one tab is your "regular" apps tab, the other is a tab of currently open and recently used apps. I find the most useful thing about the second tab is when you try out a newly installed app for the first time, you like it and you want to put the icon on the desktop somewhere. Instead of searching through all your apps to find it, it will be at the top of the recently used apps tap.

A complaint dxtop gets alot is the dual tab system. People just don't like seeing two tabs for some reason. Well you can hide the tabs by sliding them to the left or right, a bonus is this reveals dxtop's app dock. In the place where your tabs used to be, you now have space to put your favorite 5 apps or if you have any 1x1 widgets, they can go into the dock to. You can customize the dock's color and transparency. With the tabs gone you can access them by long pressing the menu key for apps tab and back key for open and recent tab.

The "regular" tab is more than meets the eye as well, when you open the apps tab and press menu, you get some extra sorting option for the tab. You can sort alphabetically, by size, by last installed or by category that you set yourself.

When you long press and icon in the tab and drop it without moving it, a context menu will pop up asking you if you want to change the category with other options to uninstall, locate on market and view app info. This context menu can also be used with icons on the desktop giving you the option to rename the shortcut, change the icon as well as the uninstall and info options.

Sadly, dxtop only has 4 screens. They are laid out in a unique diamond shape. It is laid out like this so that all screens are only one swipe away no matter which screen you are one. A swipe left always takes you to the left screen, a swipe up always takes you to the top screen etc.

Dxtop supports themes and can use themes designed other for dxtop, ahome or open home, giving you lots of options.

My favorite features are the category sorting in the app drawer and the app dock which is persistent on all screens.

I hope this will at least encourage people to try dxtop.

Oh and I don't work for them, I'm just a fan.
[G1 Apps and Games] clockworkchase:
Been using it since day 1. Love this thing. The unique diamond 4 screens is what i love the most. It's like a default feature I need in every phone from now on. One swipe to any screen is the feature that puts this home screen on another level.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
why I think dxtop now sucks arse...

I used to use dxtop exclusively and recommend ed it to everyone. But since access one have bought out master Baron it has added useless features slowing it down. The lock screen etc. I do not want my android phones to look like an iPhone .

I too have used it since day 1 but the last straw for me was when access one first didn't update the theme template to match the new features and then they pulled the template totally! Supposedly so that no third party themes could compete with their paid themes. As a maker of several free themes for dxtop I think this is so wrong. I now boycott dxtop and recommend gde to all. Gde is better than dxtop in many areas and will eventually have as mant features.

Gde is faster with less lag too.

Corporate greed. Fight the power and all that.
[G1 Apps and Games] Freedomcaller:
i used it religously untill last week when i discovered that games like i dracula runn full speed on my g1 if i disable it. maybe i shuold just turn off persistant mode, but for the time being im not using it, and enjoying games like i-dracula and raging thunder....
[G1 Apps and Games] 2leaponover1:
I hate all the home screen replacements. They are damn slow compared to the default. Everyone i've used sucks ass. I haven't tried GDE and i hear people talking about lag from that one too. A home replacement should have NO LAG whatsoever and if it does it's just another app, not a homescreen replacement.
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
I saw someone make a similar comment in the market and I was rude to them, so let me be nice to you.

I think you don't know to CLEAR THE STANDARD ANDROID HOME DESKTOP OF ALL IT'S APPLICATIONS AND WIDGETS WHEN REPLACING IT WITH A NEW HOME REPLACEMENT.

If you don't your phone will be running the standard desktop AND! the one you're trying out so of course it runs slow.

However when I did try the demo for Dxtop it force closed like a mug and ran slow and I gave it every inch it could possibly need to work, just didn't want to.

I liked the fact it could force your screen in landscape, that's a feature I definitely miss from my Tmo Wing.

But as soon as you open an app it goes back to portrait which makes me wish there was a root feature that could enable forced portrait when applications have the code to work in portrait.
[G1 Apps and Games] 2leaponover1:
Never considered doing that. I'll give them another try following that advice. Thanks for being nice about it. So which one do you reccommend?
[G1 Apps and Games] shmigao:
home++ doesn't lag for me and it has some really great new features (incl. a flip clock widget that actually flips!)

but i agree, a "real" home replacement would be better than any app that emulates a second home
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
Welcome. I like Sweeter Home, but it's not up to date, or anything and I don't use it anymore, especially since the next update is like 5 months over due.

Currently running Home ++

I was on a 1.5 and heard how some apps will only be in the market for 1.6 and I caught Home++ on the first day it was released tried it liked it. And it was my reason to go to a 1.6 build.

I'd suggest Home++ even though I think I read you might not of liked it, I personally don't like GDE though.

Lol I've tried all the Hr's
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
My favorite dxTop feature is the LiveFolders that use the custom categories you create. No more tediously adding new apps to folders on the desktop.
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
curious, you say if u remove the tabs you will have extra space to put up to 5 apps in the dock. does this mean it can run a 4x4 widget plus that extra space for apps, effectively making it 4x4 + 4x1 ? so i can run a full screen widget plus an extra line of apps
[G1 Apps and Games] 2leaponover1:
Answer is yes. I have a 4x4 picture frame widget as my top screen with the 5 apps dock underneath it. works great. I'm gonna try home ++ next. Following iceberg's advice the homescreens are running very smoothly. Glad he said something. Can't find much info on home++? What makes it so inviting?
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
Lol there honestly isn't anything that special about it, I can see the way you like Dxtop and I think you'll think Home++ is the same as GDE which is understandable.

It's just a looping home screen with a Mac doc type thing at the bottom.

Obviously that's my home screen, have the notification bar hid which doesn't add any additional space to the screen

And the dock at the bottom can be configured but not so much personalaized, also if I were to move it over you'd see some status bar info like time battery connection etc.
[G1 Apps and Games] rivera618:
I dont think this is technically correct. When i put a widget or shortcut of dxtop, it also puts it on the home app and vice versa. I cant clear either one completely so there is always some doubling of shortcuts and widgets. Only the top and bottom screens of dxtop can be cleared as they dont line up or "sync" with the home app screens.
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
I haven't given Dxtop much attention but whenever I used a HR to try it out and i look at my task killer it shows the other widgets running that I don't have set up on the new HR.

sorry by my inglish , i have being trying for 6 months to make A folder shortcut but nothing works, i have being reading all the esteps on all the threads over and over , but nothing works.i am tired to try to make i simple shortcut, tired to try to change the estar icon, tired to try to change waiting star icon , i just cant do it, nothing seems to work to me, maybe iam so stupid, KEEP THE GOOD JOB ,
[General Questions and Answers] copenhagen:
open file explorer. locate the folder you want to make a shortcut to. press and hold on it until the dialoge box pops up. choose copy. next navigate to the place where you want the shortcut to show up to... like \windows\start menu\programs\ press and hold inside this folder and choose create shortcut. Done and done.

you can change the wait icon with wisbar advance 3 from lakeridge software.... and most likely with other applications.

other thoughts:

download and try gsfinder. its a file explorer but better then the original windows mobile one. There is also a file explorer enhancement you can install that expands the capabilities of the original file explorer. you can find all of these with google.

you can try the shortcut manager application.... which will even allow you to create/modify and change the icon of a .lnk file. (you can only change .exe icons by modifying the .exe file directly) you can however create a .lnk file to anything.... and change the icon on that.

you can even... nudge nudge... create the shortcut in a text exitor and save it as whatever.lnk

ie:

\program files\facebook\facebook.exe

save as facebook.lnk voila... there is your shortcut... which you can save anywhere... like to

\windows\start menu\programs\facebook.lnk

and then it would show in your startmenu under \Startmenu\Programs\Facebook

does any of this help? its pretty basic stuff..... dont give up yet... ;)

Hi All,

I am thinking of selling my Touch Pro2, what is an official unlock and has everything with it…. No scratches, dents etc…. and I’ve only used it for 4 mouths. Upgraded to WM6.5

I bought it for £415.00 and I was wondering how much it could be worth now?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Have a look on marketplace to have an idea of prices and to post your sell there.

I have seen from 295usd to 500usd that will depend if you have the orgininal europe model which has better resale price than other models

And don´t forget to vote!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Andehh:
Prob worth around £300
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MytouchUser:
I bought a phone from craigslist and it appears to be bricked.

Under the suggestion of a friend, I am trying to find out how to fix the phone by reading xda-developer forum but I'm a bit lost..

The phone boots and get stuck at the HERO screen and won't go any further.

I am able to back+end to get to the screen that says

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.261

MAY 27 2009, 19:06.41

I checked the sd card that was in the phone and it looks like the seller had played around with rooting/installing rom. The file KiNgxKxROM_v2.3_signed.zip is in the root of the sd card.

I tried following the tutorial that show how to access the phone using adb but it doesn't list the phone under list of devices attached.

When I connect the phone via usb, my window7 doesnt recognize the device under the device manager. I tried installing the HTC sync and it still doesnt see it.

I'm at a loss what to do from here, I think I need to download a file to the sd card and use update.zip to install a new rom but not sure which one I'm suppose to use and I don't want to do anything else to the phone that might give it permanent damage to the point of no return.

If someone can guide me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it as I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the info here.

Thanks in Advance.

Power it on with Home + Power tell me what screen comes up. If it is a custom recovery you can just flash CyanogenMod.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] oshizzle1991:
what recovery image is it? power on using HOME AND POWER AT THE SAME TIME. if you see an option to "wipe ext filesystem" DO IT. once its wiped, reboot the phone, that should work. the guy probably didnt wipe the ext filesystems, and hero roms will bootloop if the ext filesystem is not wiped
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MytouchUser:
First of all, thanks for helping me through this..

Home+Power goes to Android system recovery

-Reboot system now

-USB-MS toggle

-Back/Restore

-Flash zip from sdcard

-Wipe

-Partition sdcard

-Other

I have removed the sd card from the phone, the sd card shows there is a KiNgxKxRom_v2.3_signed.zip, should I wipe, then flash zip from sdcard?

can I safely assume that the phone has been unlocked and rooted?

Thanks for your help
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MytouchUser:
Here's what I have found..

-USB-MS toggle: clicking on this enables the mount of the usb and I am able to see the SD card in my win7 but adb shell still doesnt see it under the list of devices attached

-Backup/Restore: clickign on this gives me these options

-Nand backup

-Nand + ext backup

-Nand restore

-BART backup

-Bart restore

-Flash zip from sdcart: clicking on this ask me if i want to flash the KiNgxKxRom_v2.3_signed.zip

- Wipe: gives me these options

-Wipe data/factory reset

-Wipe Dalvik-cache

-Wipe SD:ext partition

-Wipe battery stats

-Wipe rotate settings

-Partition sdcart: clicking on this gives me

-partition SD

-Repair SD:ext

-SD: ext2 to ext3

-SD: ext3 to ext4

I'm not sure if these are the original settings or if they are of a new rom.. so I'm listing everything here.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] prophetjinn:
That looks like Amon Ra's recovery image. Your phone is fine. =) I'm not sure what phone you said you have but i'm guessing it's a G1. Just as they said, choose this option:

-Wipe SD:ext partition

Then do:

-Repair SD:ext

Then reboot and see if it boots into the hero rom. If it doesn't, try installing another rom like Dwang's or Cyan's Rom. Are you familiar with flashing roms?

Edit: The phone is Rooted. It's got Amon Ra's recovery image. =)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MytouchUser:
It's a mytouch and my GF got it for me as a surprise because she heard me mention I wanted to upgrade my G1 to the mytouch.

I'm new to the whole flashing scene and this will be my first.

by the way, I'm on ATT and if its been rooted I should be able to bypss the Hero screen but with or without the sim in the phone, I was stuck at that screen so I thought my GF got a bricked phone. I even tried it with a friend's T-Mobile sim with data and same issue persists.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MytouchUser:
