i gave up searching for a working pdf reader, i just convert them to .txt files and open them with alreader...

but if someody finds a real pdf reader I'll kiss his shoes
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] d3l1:
comicreader mobi has real fullscreen support but it doesn't support pdf yet. you have to convert them to cbz or cbr files (make images from each pdf page, add them to a zip and rename to cbz or to a rar and rename to cbr).

You can disable the toolbar in full screen mode via registry. It looks really good once disabled. I am on the train now, so cannot remember the keys but will reply again with the keys unless somebody else posts before me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fistikal:
i will begin my search again tonight to find one.

i tried the allreader way before posting, and the tap bottom of the screen to turn pages is very nice. I will play with font size etc and see ho wi feel about that.

however it would be so easy to read pdf's from emails etc without converting if i could get the full screen reader.

don't get me wrong, its very usable as is, but such a waste of screen real estate while reading the pdf
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fistikal:
that would be amazing.

looking forward to seeing the registry hack

People always knock wm, but you gotta love the tweaking you can do.

Double Tap to exit fullscreen.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fistikal:
hmmm

itsa bit tedious to click the volume button that often as it only scrolls 3 lines per click.

anyways to make it scroll a whole page, or better yet, enable kinetic scrolling in pdf or enable that feature in allread that allows you to change pages by tapping the bottom right part of the screen?

thanks for all the help

Trash the LE Reader and search for the Adobe Reader for PocketPc 2.0 recompiled version for ARM processors. I hope this is legal, because Adobe seems to hide this version somehow. It has:

-Reflow

-Full Screen

-Tap to Scroll

I use this now for several years and it is still the best.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rzasharp:
Is it this: click here ?

I don't get the part with "ARM processors"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kutchulu:
Yes this is the right version. I installed this one (german version) and it didn't work on my HD2. After a longer search I found a version recompiled for ARM processors and that version worked fine. I recommend you try this one first and I will look if I find a link to the other version.^^

EDIT: OOOOPS sorry, I was wrong with the recompiled version. It was TCPMP recomp for ARM. Acrobat reader 2.0 should work fine.

WHAT ABOUT Foxit pdf reader for winmobiles ; ) just google it!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] navid_k:
yep, I always use the Foxit pdf reader and I strongly recommend it.

P.S. You can go to Fullscreen just by pressing Enter on keyboard.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fistikal:
i found foxit to be un-finger friendly

unless i was using an older version.....

is it not so?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fistikal:
how about a way to scroll quicker in pdf's as well, or possibly kinetic scrolling

adobe reader 2.5 lacks both of these
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] navid_k:
Yes, unfortunately foxit reader is NOT finger friendly at all.

and if I'm not mistaken, there isn't any newer version with a finger friendly UI.

but still, on my experience it's the best pdf reader available.

actually foxit reader is really fast in scrolling. try it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] KukurikU:
to get it in high resolution don't forget to copy to the application's directory, the attached file.

the results are amazing!! hires, scroll by tap, full screen and so on.

because the menu is too small use long press on any part of the screen to get the settings. thanks to all the contributors of this thread!:D

[HD2 General] czar.nik:
hello all

Firstly, not a hd2 hater, quite the opposite in fact. I love the beast.

However, I'm having a bit of a problem with it.....

Whenever I leave it in my pocket or overnight for a while, and go to unlock it,

It gets stuck on the unlock screen for like 30 secs!

Something similar also happens sometimes when I'm using the phone, e.g. to play a game or read something with MS reader, it will slow everything down to the point that my game is crawling or it takes like 10 odd seconds to change my ebook's page, and this will last for 30s-1min.

I'm running the 1.61 ROM and other than that don't really have any problems!

Has anyone experienced a similar problem? anyone found a workaround?

Would appreciate any help!
[HD2 General] czar.nik:
anyone else had this problem?
[HD2 General] Desmac:
Phone won't unlock

I have a similar problem My HD2 unlock slider won't slide far enough left or right to unlock. The slider stays stuck in a position 90% of the way across. I can slide it to the other side by the same amount, but the phone won't unlock. the only way i can get it to work is to hit the end/power button (the only button which works), and then take the battery out.

Does anybody have any thoughts? I'm about to do a hard reset, but would prefer not to.

[HD2 General] Spacechimp:
Hmm, mine did the same thing yesterday after using SportyPal on a 4hr MTB ride. It performed great while out and about, but when I got home the unlock screen had frozen. I tried different things to get it going but ended up doing a reboot. Thankfully SportyPal retained my ride data and everything was cool. But I guess there are deeper issues causing more people to experience this?
[HD2 General] bugsykoosh:
In any event get rid of the lockscreen. it causes significant lockups and lags on the HD2. Take a look here and read the comments for an additional reg value: http://windowsmobile.mobilitydigest.com/disable-lockscreen-hd2-stops-freezing-its-magic/

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] optiknerv:
Ye you cant just change files for the bootl splash screen. The current HSPL doesnt support flashing of just boot screens. As is said, flash a stock rom and it will replace it with the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" boot splash then you can flash a ROM of your choice.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DD9200:
HSPL

I have an O2 Leo, I needed the upgrade because my SMS had stop working, I highly recommend using HSPL then putting the official 1.66 ROM upgrade on. It's a lot faster and will give you the default HTC boot image. If you do decide to upgrade make sure you back up everything first, using Microsoft MyPhone is a good way to do this.

Ok so now I have a problem where my windows start menu is 3 wide where it was 5, not really a problem, just a quirk as I like the 5.

I installed the fixoperaflash and this happened, so I uninstalled, and it remained.

How do I get the menu back to 5 wide, I have searched for days, so please forgive me if the answer is staring me in the face, it's been a bad week.

This is a stock rom Tilt2.

Hi, I'm new to these forums and this is my first post. Been gleaning loads of top info for my Leo for the last 2 months and i have to say this place is fantastic.

Today I've noticed a problem witht he screen of my HD2. It may have been ther form day one but i have about 20 dead pixels in the top right corner of my screen. These never show up unless your in fullscreen with a light background. I've never once dropped ir mishandled it so I'm thinking its been there since day one.

I've linked to two hig res pics of the problem. Should i return this as faulty or have it repaired by the insurance? The thought of someone opening my HD" doesn't sound appealing...

Anyone else had dead pixes or screen issues?
[HD2 General] freyberry:
That's definitely too many dead pixels there. Return it, if possible.
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
And the fact they are in the same area creating a large black spot indicates it's more a fault with the panel than the normal and unavoidable chance of getting a few dead/lit pixels.

Yes it's safe, why would he reccomened it if it wasn't. Flash it like any other rom update. Don't pull the battery and make sure it has a good charge and it will be fine. You can check the about phone box in settings to see what radio you have. If you don't know, you most likely have the old radio.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] PegNosePete:
Hey all,

I've been searching for techniques people use to make transparent controls. The problem with windows mobile is that windows always have the CLIPCHILDREN window style set. So you can't grab the contents of the parent window (in WM_ERASEBKGND for example) because it isn't there.

One technique would be to have the parent pass the handle of the background DC it uses to the child control but that involves having a memory DC around all the time. And if the child control is covering any sibling controls you'd be out of luck as well.

Another solution I've read about is to temporarily hide the child window so the parent window is forced to redraw the parts that would normally be obscured by the control. I personally do not like this approach. (the drawbacks are also discussed on some MS forum, i'm not allowed to post outside links yet, google for "Rounded Buttons : Does any one see any problems with this method" and you will find it)

So, there are ways to achieve what I'm looking for but they are far from optimal. Just wondering what everybody else is doing to achieve this.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
The responses in that thread are pretty much spot on (funny to find I know over half the posters in that thread by reputation).

If you want to do this well, you really need to draw your own stuff, making a complete custom UI.

There is no proper way to do this in Windows Mobile (without runtime kernel patching, that is :P).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] PegNosePete:
What do you mean by "drawing your own stuff"? I am drawing everything myself now in all control i made using AlpheBlend() where needed. But that still doesn't resolve the background issue. Or are you referring to just drawing everything in a single WM_PAINT handler and only having one screen DC?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thaddyusmaximus:
I'm using WMP11 to sync music to my phone. When it's in disk drive mode the mp3's transfer but the playlists won't. When I'm in active sync mode the playlist gets copied as well. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

Also I noticed sometimes the tf3d music player takes forever playing a mp3. Once it plays is fine for awhile then will do it again the next day.

I transfered about 8gbs of music. Could it be my miniSD Card or is this happening to other people?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] zelendel:
It is normal with that much music for it to take awhile when it updates. I have about that much on mine and it takes awhile when it is searching, Far as I know the playlists only move over when in AS mode but could be mistaken
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thaddyusmaximus:
Is there any registry tweaks I can do to speed this up. Once i do a soft reboot or change anything on my sd card its seems it scans for music again. It takes up to 15 minutes before the music starts playing again.

[Touch CDMA General] jimt007:
When I got the Sprint HTC Touch in 2007 it had a service, selected via the Touch Cube, called On Demand.

Sometime later it automatically updated to Pocket Express. Then a few months ago, another update making Pocket Express a bit nicer.

I just had to hard reset the phone and lost Pocket Express. The phone was back to On Demand. No problem, it has happened before and I would just initialized On demand and then install the upgrade cab file.

No more. Both telephone technical support and the local Sprint repair center said the link was gone! No one ever told me about this change. I don't have Sprint TV or Sprint Music so I don't know if they are broken as well.

So now the Touch Cube which has Sprint Music, Sprint TV and On Demand/Pocket Express is there but while it attempts to install On Demand it just goes into an install loop and keeps asking for your zip code and installs and asks for your zip code and installs and............

So my question is: Has anyone recently had to hard reset there HTC Touch and got On Demand/Outlook Express to work like it used to via the Touch Cube?
[Touch CDMA General] jscurek:
Wow, that's a blast from the past- I can't even remember the last time I saw the HTC cube on my sprint touch.

If you want pocket express, just go here: http://pocketexpress.com/

IMO, the reason it never took off and was probably dropped by sprint is because there are just so many nicer and better apps to accomplish everything I ever did with PE.

Granted, I haven't even looked at that service in over 2 years, so it might be better now.

If you just had to hard reset your phone, you should TOTALLY try installing a custom ROM- you'll be amazed at how new your phone will seem, apps running better, enhanced functionality, etc.

[Nexus One General] mgorman:
I was wondering, if I constantly am killing running process and they are always reloading (voice input, settings, gmail, market, etc), will this drain my battery faster? I'm at 76% with light use from a full charge and the phones been unplugged for around 4 1/2 hours.
[Nexus One General] AndroidZ28:
That seems normal. mine usually dies within 6 hours, with all settings off. i think i need a new one. under battery settings it says display used 67 % of my battery life and for display time on it says 28 minutes
[Nexus One General] mgorman:
I've got my display using 73% followed by live wallpaper with 6%.
[Nexus One General] Wobblebonk:
I mean Display% being higher just means you were actively using your phone more... or you set your timeout too high.

I don't think the actual restarting of the apps uses more battery vs them just running in the background all the time. Unless for some reason they restart almost instantly and you are constantly mashing the kill all apps button then maybe?

As far as your phone dying in 6 hours, that does not sound right at all. Mine definitely goes quite a bit longer than 6 hours consistently. It is currently at 38% battery after 17 hours 24m, with display having used 46% with 55m24s on. Part of that was while it was full brightness when I was outside. I have been at work though so its largely been sitting on my desk. Even when I first got it and was playing with it a ton it went well over 6 hours on a charge.
[Nexus One General] TonyHoyle:
Some people do seem to have problems with battery life and I can only assume there's a bunch of bad batteries out there, or they are really hammering it..

I used about 25% in 6 hours today from normal usage* and that's even after driving around for half an hour streaming last.fm over bluetooth via 3G.. Sync switched on, wifi off, twitdroid running in the background. The only special thing I have is the setcpu idle tweak.
