pfff hard reset is serious stuff......

Yep, would reset the router......sometimes there are so many wireless connection points that particular device is listed on 2nd page......but since it will have strongest signal should be listed on top spot.....

If not works install wifi monster.....to see if another piece of software "sees" the router....if not it is a case of HTC service....

Thank you. Resetting the router did the job. Now it works.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sc4Freak:
In light of recent discoveries about the HD2's hidden 128MB RAM, I've written a small application which uses the native Win32 API to allocate as much memory as it can (up to 2GB), and verifies it.

Notes:

This application is designed to test the limits of your device's memory. In particular, to test if the HD2's additional 128MB is actually usable or not.

This application will attempt to allocate as much memory as it can, OS limits notwithstanding. The application allocates memory in the OS's shared memory space, which means that it isn't privy to the usual 32MB address space limit.

Because the application isn't limited to 32MB memory usage, you don't need to run multiple instances to consume your memory. Just one instance will do.

This application does not use .NET, and instead uses the direct low-level kernel memory management functions (VirtualAlloc and VirtualFree) to reserve, commit, and free virtual pages. This means that the application has much more precise control over memory, and can consume memory until only a couple of megabytes remain.

This application verifies the memory it allocates, by writing a byte pattern to the memory, and reading it out again. This is necessary because the Windows CE kernel does not commit pages to physical memory unless the memory page is read/written from at least once. This also guarantees that the memory is, in fact, usable and valid.

The attached zip file includes an executable file and source code (C++, requires Windows Mobile 6 SDK).

hi! i've tryed it in my rom without the hidden ram enabled and the result is:

and after the programs close my free ram is 145, i guess last 10mb are not usable for some reaso? (WM6.6 memory management?)

[Windows Mobile Software Development] chriskoups:
i try out but i don't see any change in ram memory... stil 179mB..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sc4Freak:
Keep in mind that the application frees up all the memory it chews once it's done. So after the application exits, your amount of free RAM will not be changed. The application should report how much memory it managed to allocate once it's done, and if you open up the memory screen in settings (or whatever) you should see the amount of free memory drop as the program runs.

Weird problem I just encountered. Whether I'm trying to use the task killer that is build in to Astro, or if I'm using TaskControl, I'm getting FC's. Astro will let me to to the task killer, but when I choose to kill something, it closes. TaskManager won't even open fully, it just FC's.

The *only* change that I've made to the phone since the last time I used either was I did a Nandroid backup. This wouldn't have effected being able to kill a process, I wouldn't think.

[General Topics] Rinkadink:
I know it won't be the BEST quality, but I'd like to be able to record some acoustic guitar playing to my Imagio (Windows Mobile). I can obviously record now using the built in microphone, but the quality is terrible. I think that if I use an external microphone, the quality should be better.

For instance, Blue Mikey is good quality microphone for Iphones - bluemic.com

I've looked around, but I can't find a microphone that says it's compatible. I found this on Amazon, would it work?: Sony-ECM-DS70P

Anyone know of a (simple) solution? The alternative is to get a separate dedicated digital recorder.

[General Topics] darfri:
If you worry about quality I suggest you to still get a dedicated recorder (zoom/tascam/etc) and compare its recordings with the iPhone "quality" gear... You'll be amazed.
[General Topics] Rinkadink:
Why is that Darfri? I would think that, theoretically at least, a Windows Mobile (or iPhone) phone should be able to record as well as a Zoom. Digital storage plus microphone interface plus software to convert sound to a file.

This is a software that might do the trick, although most people seem to use it to record phone calls and lectures: Resco Audio Recorder

I agree that the Zoom/Tascam solution is the easiest and probably the higher quality solution. I just think it would be a more elegant solution to be able to do everything on one (Windows Mobile) device.

DAB
[General Topics] Rinkadink:
I spoke to someone at HTC. Their bottom line answer was that using the Imagio to try to do a quality recording won't work well. I broke down and got a Zoom H2.
[General Topics] darfri:
Good choice. I've played with that and it is great. Especially using external expensive :P mics.

My point about the elegance vs quality is the hardware side of the AD conversion. Some kind of solution would be an external high end AD converter but then again very few devices work as hosts from miniusb (except the microSD slot)

A bit further down in the device specific forums we've been waiting for the creation of the HardSPL for the HTC mega (aka touch2) so we can try custom roms and stuff but as much as we wait no one has pulled through.

On behalf of all Touch2 users here on XDA I request that someone please put in the time to create the HardSPL, I'm sure beers will be bought and donations will be made to the person who delivers, so please anyone out there to help us?

I am with you on that request - many many people have the phone already. And many other phones here have HSPL, mega is e great device, new but no one has made HSPL for it, and its been 3 months now. So please, anyone...

Hi

I'm wanting to buy an HTC HD2 this week but a seller told me that most of the HD2 are all locked. Not only SIM locked but that people can't install the programs they want (such as tom tom) and that they are forced to use the programs that the operator provides (in my case, i'm talking about french operators, such as orange or SFR).

Is that true that the HD2 by default is locked and that you can't install all you want on it ?

Can the phone be easilly unlocked from that ?

The shop told me that SFR is selling now an "origin" version all unlocked (even sim unlocked) and that it's a bit more expensive but worths it.

Do you have an opinion on that ? Did he tell me bull**** ?

Thanks a lot,

Regards

Elise
[Touch2 General] mirost1:
Look, here is Touch2 forum, not HD2 but i will say two words for you - yes, most of the phones a SIM locked and ROM (software) locked. If you buy from operator its 100 sure. You can put programs on the phone, the software is locked not to change phone software.

But in HD2 forum there is a procedure called HSPL, which can unlock your soft nd you can do whatever you want with the phone.
[Touch2 General] wonderliza:
ooups sorry, i may have used the wrong place. Thanks for your answer anyway, that's just what i wanted to know.
[Touch2 General] donSjon:
well, actually...no, it is not locked by default.

it depends on where you live and where you but it.

in Belgium all HD2 are unlocked by default.

but indeed: wrong forum
[Touch2 General] mirost1:
In most cases they are locked by operators, i asked HTC about that and they said that after they give an HTC phone to mobile operator, this operator gets the rights on the phone :mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] it.tinz:
OK - Lets try again!

I have been trying quite a few ROM's on my HD2 and they have all sort of rolled into one mash-up of memories in my head - for the most I can't say I have noticed much difference in speed or responsiveness in the ROM's, and despite a few problems I have only come across one ROM that gave me any real issues.

But none of the ROMs have given me exactly what I am after (and that's an ever moving target anyway!) so I am thinking about having a go at cooking a ROM of my own. But before I go down that path I wanted some paternal guidance on the matter - and a clarification over the benefits of getting a stock ROM, adding all the software and tweaks I use then cooking it, against just installing the stock ROM to my HD2 then installing the apps on top and applying the tweaks afterwards. Are there any benefits such as speed or memory usage? or is it simply that if I need to hard-reset the device at any point I don't have to go through all that reinstalling again?

So your thoughts on the pros and cons of cooking vs installing would be greatly appreciated by a brain-addled HD2 user.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] _X_:
Been cooking for Trinity but not for HD2 ... still ...

Cooking gives you chance to make a ROM that is perfect for You. Some things cannot be removed like MS Live or Office via usual un-install procedure. Also you can cook ROM with favorite theme and applications.

Tweaking is completely different story. There are a lot of tweaks and most of them work but when you start implement a lot of tweaks things will get complicated. Suddenly Bluetooth will stop pairing, compass wont work as it should and so on. Then you will start hunting newer versions of applications that could solve some of the problems but will create some others ... you see the pattern?

At some point you will be satisfied with your ROM and even publish it here ... but then there will be new OS build available ... and there you go again.

Basically, depends on what kind of user you are. If you need HD2 to work and run applications without too much problems then you should stick to original or cooked ROMs. On the other hand, if you have a lot of spare time and will to learn something new, you should go for cooking.

Hope this helps
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] it.tinz:
Humm - pretty much as I thought really, as I need a device that works then looks like I would be better off sticking with some of the ROMs existing chefs have created.

What would help in this matter would be a sticky with a table on it showing various comparisons with ROMs - I know this info can be found on each ROMs page but a single post with it all compiled together and then linking to the various ROM pages would be great. I guess comparisons could list the chef, ROM build no, Core build no, Manila version, WM version, size, Driver version, additional apps, removed apps and so on.... - just needs someone to keep the data up-to-date. Any takers?

Hi All.

I recently installed a little program QuickMenu v2.8 just to try it out. (it displays a drop down menu of items, not to dissimilar to the windows desktop start menu)

However i didn't personally like it, so i uninstalled it in the normal way you would uninstall ANY other program you want to remove.

However every time i reboot my HD2 now, i get the following error message:

'The file 'QuickMenu' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file'

Clearly the unstall has either left crap behind, OR has deleted something that it shouldn't have? - & 'reinstalling' it is not what i want to do.

After clicking the 'ok' ..the error goes away, and the phone seems to work fine & the start menu opens in the way it did before installing the prog (large scrolling icons). The phone seems to have no other problems.

However, seeing this error message is beginning to annoy me.

How can i fix the problem to remove the garbage left behind or repair the damage the uninstall caused.

Will i need some registry editor?

Look forward to your wise words for a fix.

Many thanks
