Hello,

What i want is to develop an application for my Asus A696 PDA, for controlling my home cinema through IrDA. I have a few devices like Dreambox DM800, WDTV, Loewe A42 and also a Samsung HT TZ225.

I am new to the mobile development scene and obviously i am trying to find my way around. For a start, what should i use to develop my application? Java or Windows Mobile development IDE?

I wouldn't mind if you posted some good tutorials too :)

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabibyte:
Anybody anything?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajige:
Search the forums, there are plenty of answers already.

Look at the Wiki. There is a whole page with all sorts of information on programming.:)

I also have some information on my web page.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boulderados:
A box fell om my T-Mobile MDA Compact V leaving a nasty gouge over the entire height of the screen.

I have been told that the only real remedy is to replace the digitizer.

Unfortunately I have found that the digitizer for the MDA Compact V is not commercialy available where as the one for the Diamond 2 is.

Can anyone tell me if the two are interchangeable? Can I replace the digitizer on my MDA Compact V with one meant for a Diamond 2?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstackar:
They should be, the pure and mda compact v have the same housingg, so the digitizer will most likely work. Actually I'm nearly positive that it will work perfectly
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaleR:
No it wont fit, the bottom of the digitizer on the Compact V is curved, the Diamond II is flat.

I've got the same problem, the digitzer scratches way to easily. I'm looking at putting the Compact V in a Diamond II housing, I can find the housing and digitizer but cannot find the buttons anywhere.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstackar:
Whoops, my mistake. I was thinking of the pure, not the regular TD2. You're right, they will not fight. The top is also a little different. And can you not get it shipped from online?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boulderados:
Unfortunately I cannot get it online.

The prices T-Mobile charges for repairs are insane so I contacted a number of 3rd party repair shops. None of them are able to obtain parts for the MDA Compact V.

My own searches found a supplier in china who was rumoured to have them but will not reply to my inquiries.

So for now I will just live with the scratches.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intermec:

MDA compact V digitizer replacement

Hi,

Just got my digitizer today. bought it off eBay from --link removed because of aggressive spam tactics of seller-- China.

i placed my order on 12/4/10 and with the volcano smoke it still made it very fast!

so I'm well happy!

will start replacing it now and post how it goes....

ok i have a problem:

all the guides i found where for the diamond 2 and not

t-mobile compact v(topaz100 TS). and it looks like it has a lower cover over two of the screws and i can't get it open...LOL any help and i'll even post some pics...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the-equinoxe:
The two screws are accessible from front.

Beneath the buttons is a piece of plastic with the T-Mobile logo.

Pop this off and find the missing screws ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leshemnoam:
wow thank you so much! will try it now and let you know how it goes...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frankyg:

My MDA compact V screen does not work as it should do.

Can you send me the seller by email?

I have a similar problem my screen has just a small scratch on it and now it keep on focusing I guess on that spot. So I need another screen I am afraid, or is there someone who has another idea how to fix my phone?

Looking forward to hear from you!
[HD2 General] tshizzle:
im wondering if its just me..

most times, when the phone comes out of sleep, after i slide to unlock, it just hangs. i dont even get to see the clock, sometimes, it just shows a black screen, and sometimes, all i see is the lock screen..stuck.

i can push the start button, and it would work as normal, but i cant go home.. and everything else related to sense...music, settings, message, ..just crashes.

i always have to reboot phone to get it back to normal.

could there be something making it crash? ..and does it happen to anyone else?
[HD2 General] Begovaya:
yes it happens to me from time to time. sometime HD2 just lies on my desk and 'fall asleep'... cannot turn on the screen though all the buttons light up.

when this happens i have to call from my HD to turn HD2 on :mad: and when it's on, it's unstable, and i have to reboot it.
[HD2 General] naderalmaleh:
same problem

I have exactly the same problem. it just crashes for no reason. sometimes when WiFi is on. sometimes after I synchronize. sometimes if only plugged out of the charger.

it was in version 1.48 and kept happening even after I upgraded to 1.66

I hope this has a fix or something or atleast a way to restart sense because the Windows button works, phone works, except the volume, the turn off and the settings in the start menu..

help!

thank you in advance.
[HD2 General] mercernathan:
Same problem here. Freezes at the lock screen and the lights appear from the buttons. Occurring with worrying frequency now. Twice in the last three days. Any ideas?
[HD2 General] SOLRAC13:
Same thing here, it use to happen 2 time in 2 months since new, but ever since i upgrade to 166 is happening everyday :(

I am really really disappointed with HTC HD2 he came out with some many bugs that i am after 2 months of hade and love affair really considering divorcing ones for all.

Nice looking screen but no reliable atall enough is enough :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PUTALE:
hi, I am curious where to go to set the tilt 2 to automatically lock to the winmo 6.5's screen after like a few minitues of not use. I konw that if I press the end call button for a few sec, it locks it but is there a way to do it automatically after a few minutes?

thansk.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Devoncoon:
Try This

I can give you a suggestion, but I have the Verizon version, so it may be a little different. I also may depend on your ROM...

Goto Settings > System > Smart Lock. Checkmark Dim Lock box.

Goto Settings > System > Power. Select Backlight, set backlight dim time, and then your device will auto lock when your backlight dims.

I also use Gyrator to auto lock my phone when I turn it upside down. (I always insert in my pocket upside down (Reverse portrait), but I never use it upside down, and this prevents unwanted button/screen presses while in my pocket.)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PUTALE:
thnak you so much for the reply. It appears to me that the ATT version has slightly different setting for it. I do see the lock option but that would require a password, anyway to still let it enabled without any password? anyone with ATT can shine some lights.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
I believe the Lock Setting Devoncoon is referring to is fixed with SmartLock (app here on XDA). That might help to download that app, if you have not done so. Once you install it, set it up as Devoncoon instructed you, and you will not require a password lock.
[HD2 General] rorydaredkign:
Long time user of XDA, but not had one for a year now,, and not used one for 18 months, been with an iPhone 2G then 3G.

But september was upgrade time, and I wanted a satio. Then the rumours about the leo came, and I waited patiently for it. But as I was on an O2 staff contract, I had to upgrade in store, and no O2 stores have it in stock.

Anyways, yesterday I decided it was upgrade time, whether it be to an HD2 or a BB 9700, or an E72.

And popped into my local phones for you and they had 1. Snapped it up sharpish!

Anyways, had it a day now, and it has a few quirks I have noticed, and used my old knowledge to try and fix, but no luck so far

1) XT9 sometimes doesnt come on in SMS. Requires turning keyboard on and off to make it work. And befoore someone suggests it, the XT9/ABC key is on XT9.

2) Opera 9 (I have 10 too) searches google germany

3) Earlier today, pressing the lock/end call key turned the screen off. But then an SMS coming in, or pressing a button didnt bring up the lock screen, it just brought up the sense homepage. Much like on classic wm devices, pre lockscreen. but as the HD2 is easily unlocked by pressing any of the buttons, its pretty annoying. But then I fixed this by holding the end call button, clicking lock, then turning the screen off with a press of the end call, and when I pressed a button to turn it back on, it was on the lock screen.

4) Opera 10 has no multitouch. I assume nm can be done, but worth a note i suppose.

Good luck.

[HD2 General] rorydaredkign:
Looked at it, and got most of the tweaks using bsb tweaks. But the ones I mentioned, I saw no mention of in the thread.

And I just saw the questions and answers thread. Looked earlier, and sisnt post there because I didnt see any questions in the first post. This thread I remember for questions and answers in the old days before a q&a forum, put all the questions in post 1 and linked to their answers. But as I didnt see that, and I read the first post I thought it was more forum rules.

And I'm not and O2 employee, I was a mcdonalds employee haha. But O2 open=o2 employee with upgrades according too the call centre people. TBH it kinda confused them.

And to any mods, sorry for the misunderstanding of the q&a thread. Please feel free to move the first post and delete the rest of the thread if necessary.
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Ah I see, you got me there. :)

Can't give you any more on your specific questions although I do recall a thread or post somewhere about the XT9 issue.

Someone else will be along in a minute to help out.

[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
You are confusing two different "locks":

1.) the "locking" of device to load ROMs of a certain operator aka "CID" lock. This affects the SW update with new ROMs.

2.) the locking of the radio operation of the device to certain SIM cards, aka "SIM Lock".

The have nothing in common and remedy to one "problem" is not solving the other. So there is no Secondary Program Loader (SPL) that could solve a SIM lock problem. Look up SIM lock related threads.

*Unofficial

That's taken slightly out of context, but HTC Russia announced in a twitter post today that only the HD 2 will be getting a firmware upgrade to Windows Phone 7.

"For Diamond 2 firmware is not planned. Of the existing communicators on the market, only the HD2 firmware to get WM7."

Check it out here: http://gizmodo.com/5437188/htc-russia-claims-only-the-hd2-will-get-a-windows-7-upgrade

That's kind a of bummer, although I'm sure that some of our fantastic chefs here will cook up something that will allow WinMo 7 on the TP2.

I'm on Sprint and am still running 6.1 stock in the name of saving battery life. But I must say that it still ticks me off sometimes that my phone requires a RAM hogging visual overhaul in order to make it useable.

But I digress, I don't want to turn this into a bad mouthing thread. I LOVE my Rhodium, the hardware is fantastic and I have yet to find a phone that I can compare to mine. It's just that 6.1 is only "alright" and 6.5 feels like a let down. Then to hear that we won't be officially getting the savior of Windows Mobile, WinPhone 7, it just feels sad.

I mean, I'm sure our Qualcomm 7600 528MHz should be able to run next generation software. It's not as powerful or even comparable to the HD2, but it's far from being underpowered.

In other news, Windows Mobile will be getting Xbox live! Hooray! Microsoft is going to take something that they actually did right (Xbox live) and expand it onto other fields. This is really exciting, I can't wait to see what comes of this.

http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
I saw that on the Twitter of a techblog I read.

I thought I already saw somewhere that it was definite the TP2 would not get the *official* WM7 upgrade due to the hardware limitations. I thought the 1Ghz processor was a [true] necessity.

Just my thoughts (subject to change as things start leaking for WM7):

Really, the 528MHz processor is pretty underpowered. It's the same processor of the Raphael, and our Rhodiums are supposed to be a generation ahead (TP1 / TP2). Simply using the Leo ROMs available on XDA, people start complaining about lag and such - and that's still essentially WM6.5. Imagine the lag we would get with WM7. However, I would probably hop onto a WM7 beta ROM once they start cooking here on XDA.:p

Of course XDA will provide us with WM7. :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Welcome to forums

Thanks for your information.

Rhodium will have it one way or another!;):cool:

Completely agree:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] S.V.I:
if you remember, the htc wizard was not supposed to get a winmo 6 update, but I made a pretty durable rom for it. it ran one of the later OS's and after working the graphics down, it ran faster than a kaiser running the same build.

I am pretty sure that the TP2 will be able to handle win 7. the only thing that might be stopping it is the touch screen. dont they say that it has to have a capacitive screen for winmo 7 for multitouch?

personaly, i hate capacitive screens that do not allow stylus. I like drawing too much. I have a program called Pocket Artist (photoshop for winmo) and I use it all the time. however, It might not be as accurate with out a stilus.

the other thing is that the winmo 7 kernel is supposed to be the smallest ever. meaning that everything else is just bloatware. so if a lot of bloatware is removed... it will run winmo 7 as well as a wizard runs winmo 6.5 at least.

:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] B3RL1N:
This really troubles me personally. As under Moore's law technology is suppose to double every two years, with mobile phone technologies this seems to be happening every two months. :|

Going from the Qualcomm 7600 to a 1GHz is a massive leap! I'm sure by Q1/2 2010 we will be seeing processors in cell phones that are to rival the Atom 1.6GHz in my netbook. The remaining problem is that of battery life, although underclocking and new technologies and better batteries will solve that.

I guess my problem is that I shelled out ALOT of money for this phone and it's predecessor (Which was unveiled the DAY I received my TP2) doubled the power with a 5MP camera and upgraded interface. But again, I bought my phone for it's keyboard; which has yet to disappoint.

Thanks orb3000! I've been here, but have only silently watched. :)

Yah, I figured you guys would eventually make something. :P

Although sometimes I just feel as if my TP2 is bloated running all the fancy bells and whistles of Touchflo 3D. Even with just Windows Mobile 6.1, there's just so much unnecessary junk going on that it's "weighing down" the phone. I love the fact that my phone is a true "computing device" but sometimes it makes me feel as if I'm stuck using Windows 98.

Personally I wish Microsoft would release a "light" build of Windows Mobile 7. The best way to make new customers is to keep your old ones happy.

The Wizard is a little before my time. My previous phone to my TP2 was the LG Chocolate. Major upgrade for me. :P

But I get where you are coming from. I've been working with computer for all my life and know what it's like to work with systems that weren't originally designed to carry the software that they operate on.

Personally, I don't care about graphics. I just want a system that works well and gets the job done.

I also hear you on the stylus. I really don't have a problem yanking mine out and poking at the screen with it. Makes me feel sophisticated, lol.

"You use your finger to touch your screen, how dirty and primitive! Use a utensile for christ sake!"

That was a dramatisation, lol.

So thanks S.V.I, those are encouraging words. It'd be great to have a crapware free OS.

Maybe by then I'll be able to work on a ROM myself so I may optimise it to my liking. But until then I'll contribute what I can and continue doing my little tweaks here and there.

hi everyone ,can some one tell me how to make a custom notification tone ?i use the mp3 trimer to make my reg ringtone.but i can only use it in phone ring tones.it don't show up under notification/alarm tone, just ring tones!i have sounds on my sd card.but i don't know were to move them to or how to. so i can use them i figure file manger can move them or threw active sink on my computer.well thankyou for all your help !:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
after trimming your MP3 media, place it here

My Device > Application Data > Sounds

You can also place them on the Storage Card, but if the phone is in USB Drive mode, you'll lose the use of these files and the phone resets to default media and ringtones if and when the phone wants to use it and can't find it.

2 Pre-Purchase Questions:

Memory:

If I understand correctly, applications cannot be installed on the SD Card, the SD card is reserved for data files.

Additionally the on-board memory is limited.

Does this combination create challenges with memory shortage while running top-heavy applications?

Carrier Connection settings:

I would be getting a European or Austrailian, unlocked model to work on AT&T here in Alaska.

Does anyone know if the MMS and GPRS settings are available for this carrier?

PS: I did search the forum pages for 'unlocked' 'USA' 'United States' & 'AT&T' before posting these questions.

[HD2 General] lexx-luthor:
Yes you are right, the European version will only run on EDGE in the US.

Apparently the Australian HD2 Version will have the 850mhz radio which is required in the states for their 3G.

However, I brought a European version and use it in AUS with Vodafone which uses the 900mhz and 2100mhz for 3G in AUS.
[HD2 General] itoYo:
No No No, apps can be installed to memory card without any problem. i think you may have read that "apps from the

marketplace

cannot be installed to the memory card", this is correct; however, there are some work arounds which allow installation to external memory. (these exists on xda)

an overwhelming majority of apps exist outside of the WM marketplace so i dont think this will be an issue.

As for the onboard memory (if you mean ROM) i personally have no problems (I install all larger programs to the memory card) i have read about issues with some people running out of memory but i think this is due to poor app management!

if RAM is what you mean by 'on-board memory' then there is ample to run mutiple RAM hungry apps!there is approx 340MB RAM (debatable) from which the OS uses ~140MB (on my o2 ROM any way) leaving around 190MB for apps running on top of the OS ! somethin like totom uses 8-10 MB and opera can vary from 4MB to 15-20MB+. so you can see there is plenty

as for the carrier settings maybe someone esle can enlighten you! im pretty sure they can be found

took me too long long to wqrite this post, seems there are other replies to your questions already!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ultivegito2:
My phone is rooted and I have flashed Fresh, but my cell phone plan does not allow for "phone as modem," even though I have the unlimited data plan. I don't want to change my plan and pay more money, but I can't very well ask Sprint if my hacked phone can still use tethering. :P So, I was curious. If using Fresh 1.0, can my phone still be used as a modem, or must I add the option to my plan in order to use it in that manner?

Yes it can be used for phone as a modem. I am not responsible for any charges you may incur though. That being said I tether and have been for the last couple years.
