Trial and error. :cool:

I've done a bit of benchmarking with different combinations of settings, and that seems to me to be the best combination. Using YUY2 overlays does disable a few features. If you've made corrections to brightness, contrast, and colour balance then (I think) YUY2 will bypass that - certainly the options become disabled (as does the Dither option, actually, although dithering shouldn't be necessary if you're using overlays, AIUI, because overlays circumvent the 16-bit colour limitation). You also can't use DirectDraw overlays and have subtitles, I don't think. (I've not tried it, but I've read that).

I prefer "fit best". If you fill the screen then a substantial amount of the picture ends up outside the edges of the screen, and what's left of the picture is zoomed so much it becomes incredibly soft - but some people prefer that to having black bars. (Some people are peculiar. :rolleyes: )

Bought a 16gb card and it only has 14.8 on it, after a google search i see that they are all llike that.

Trade descriptions act?
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
It's the way its formatted, every hard drive you buy comes like that...they always state the unformatted capacity
[HD2 General] kilrah:
For marketing 16GB = 16'000'000'000 bytes, which is usually written in small somewhere on the package, while for your system 16GB would be 16x1024x1024x1024 = 17179869184 bytes.

It's the same for every storage device, be it memory cards, hard drives, DVDs,...
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
I'm, sorry for being thick and a noob :o

can you get the full 16 out of it by re-format or is that just the final size
[HD2 General] Archer:
You're being neither thick or a noob mate.

As described by kilrah, when selling stuff they call 1GB 1,000,000,000 bytes, whereas any computer type device calls 1GB 1073741824 bytes. It's because 1KB is actually 1024 bytes, 1MB is 1024KB and 1GB is 1024MB, but in the "normal" world 1KB is 1000 bytes, 1MB is 1000KB and 1GB is 1000MB.

This always bugged me until I thought about the fact that it's actually a missuse of KB, MB & GB on the part of computers, not sellers. There's 1000 metres in a KM. There should be 1000 bytes in a KB.

In short, you can't get any extra out of it because it is the size they advertised.

Hi there,

I have a spare touch that I want to use Tomtom on. I don't have a data plan on it but I know that it has GPS built in but normally with a data plan it uses agps data to find a lock.

Is there a way I can use this unit without data on it?

I want to have it as a dedicated GPS unit for my vehicle. I tried to find sats but I couldn't get a lock.

I also tried some cab that disables Agps, but still didn't get a lock.

Help!

:confused:
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
who's your carrier?
[Touch CDMA General] manifest3r:
I think for TomTom you need a GPS primer. I recommend QuickGPS, Astrolauncher, and GPSRadar. I've personally tried Astrolauncher and GPSRadar with iGo8, and both work nicely. Usually when I'm driving I get a lot within 5 minutes, if not then 10 :)
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
You could try to use a Generic carrier rom. This way, the rom will not try to connect to the internet every time you start the GPS program.

Nevermind, I figured it out and changed some icons around...

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
I'll try and write something up when I get a chance. Im getting busy here at work...ugggh.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Ok, what I did was pulled two files from my phone... com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk. Make sure you download 7-Zip and make a backup of both files just in case. What I suggest is doing a nandroid backup prior to changing around any files. This way it CYA in case something happens. Again, be VERY CAREFUL!! I am NOT responsible for anyone screwing up their phone. DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!! LOL

1. Make sure Android SDK is installed. I have mine installed at c:\android-sdk-windows

2. I extracted both files to the android-sdk-windows\tools folder...like this. Open your command prompt and cd to where SDK is installed...

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb remount

remount succeeded

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb pull /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

(This should automatically pull the file into your tools folder.)

3.Next I pulled the framwork-res.apk file...

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

(This should automatically pull the file into your tools folder.)

4. Next I opened com.htc.resources.apk with 7-Zip.

- Navigate to the res folder. Then navigate to the drawable-480x320 folder. Lets say you want to change the signal icon, well that icon happens to be cdma_sys_signal_0 - 6.png. You'll see them in the folder. What I did was grabbed some icons from other ROMS and I extracted them and copied them to the .apk. After I copied the icons over I then pushed the file back to my phone like this...

5.	c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk After a few seconds you'll see that its pushed over.

In the framework-res.apk file the folder you want to look in is \res\drawable\ it has the battery indicators as well as the charging of the battery etc etc...The files in the .apk start with stat_ You pretty much do the same thing like you did with the other .apk. Make sure you push it back to your phone. After you push both files back make sure you reboot by doing the following command...

6. c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell reboot

Its really easy to do...I had no issues...Have fun. Let me know if you need any assistance.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dontdo_that:
Someone else brought this to my attention, and I feel that this post belongs here and not in ROM development because I have noticed it with several WM 6.5 ROMs.

My AT&T Fuze freezes A LOT, when I text message. It happens explicitly while I'm trying to browse my inbox and am receiving a text message at the same time. I'd say about 40% of the time I receive an incoming SMS, my phone locks up for a good 30 seconds or more. Does anyone else experience this issue? The ROM I am currently running is an EnergyROM build that is a little bit older, but has the titanium configuration only (I guess that means no Manila, or TouchFlo3D?...not sure about the names, but its optimized for stability and minimal resource consumption) but it still freezes up beyond belief. Let me know if this sounds familiar, or if there's a fix for it!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adamdon89:
Do you have lots of SMS in your inbox? Mine was doing this when I had 3000ish. Just backed them up and deleted them; now it's running fast as anything.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DerRocka:
Yes i got this kind of issue too and have more than 3000 sms in my box. i recently updated my phone to WM6.5. before there was no problem.

so perhaps i should delete a couple of sms. i wrote a similar reply in another thread (in a rom development thread, which i can't link to)

greetz
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dontdo_that:
I only have about 350, nowhere near 3000 text messages :( It's prety un-useable at this point with the phone locking up so much. I guess all I can do is try to clear all my text messages and try new ROMs until it goes away. I did a forum search in ROM Development and found a similar post about freezing while browsing all SMS messages in the romeos thread and that described what I'm experiencing, although that other person was the only one who experienced the same issue as me.

Thanks for the heads up guys. :D

Can anyone please help me ? how can I fix it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] spaic:
it may be a radio rom issue.

if you have installed a custom rom you should ask this question in the rom's thread, with more detailed information (rom version, radio rom version, SPL version).

if you haven't put in a cooked rom you should also give this info (maybe even your location?) so that someone could test the setup you are running.

[Android Apps and Games] DafuDafer:
You may have heard that blizzard released their mobile authenticator for android via the android market.

Now the thing i was wondering is where serial is stored.

In the java emulator it was stored in a xxxx.db file, and in iphone in an xml file,

correct me if i'm wrong though.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Serial>US-1234-5678-9123</Serial>
<Token>AQIDBAUGBwgJCgsMDQ4PEBESExQ=</Token>
<TimeDifference>-631</TimeDifference>
</Authenticator>

or this is perhaps an xml file to compile it for iphone/touch,

anyway, there is (or has to be) a way to change the serial , i've been looking in every xml or db file on my G2 but no succes yet, perhaps anyone else have found something?
[Android Apps and Games] jokeyrhyme:
I've encountered some difficulties with using the Blizzard Mobile Authenticator on my rooted handset. Seems it treats mine differently to a non-rooted handset and can be unusable. I've reported the problems on the official WoW forums here.

Regarding changing the serial code, why is this ever necessary? You can view it through the applications controls should you ever need to look it up. And you can always replace the authenticator on your account.
[Android Apps and Games] aufche:
high class problem... i dont know it :)
[Android Apps and Games] jokeyrhyme:
Haha, I answered my own question yesterday. Forgot to unlink my phone from my account before wiping it for a ROM update, and had to call Blizzard for help. It's lucky I had my original serial code written down. I can now see the value in being able to cause a fresh authenticator to behave like an older one. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Niscandia:
This is something that has been talked about on another thread over at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=557862

But from what I have been able to get, the data is stored in the file:

/data/data/com.blizzard.bma/shared_prefs/com.blizzard.bma.AUTH_STORE.xml

Now, how the token file is encoded... I can't say. Haven't gotten to that part yet.
[Android Apps and Games] bisby:
dont mean to bring up a super old thread, but i couldnt find any answers (the post linked here shows how to read the serial from file, but not how to make it persistant or change it to something else) (sorry if its preferred to make a new thread to ask the question, seems like every forum prefers a different method, and this one seemed to be pretty spot on for what i was wondering)

I wanna try out different roms but keep the serial persistant. I could on my iphone by backing up the authenticator in itunes.

but even backing up app+data in titanium back up leaves me with a different serial.

Is there any way to get a backup with a persistant serial in it? I really dont want to leave my account unsecured, I dont want to have to carry around an extra keychain but im not going to deattach and reattach the authenticator every time i want to flash a rom.

[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Slept through it this morning, discovered it only goes off twice and the tones aren't continuous unless i'm missing something obvious?

If it can't be changed then i will need to select a tone that is continuous, will i need to copy some tones files to the alarm directory? if so how?
[HD2 General] omneity:
I don't think it was ever intended as an alarm clock, the alarm funtion is a basic tool to provide a simple reminder for things that you wouldn't normally use the calendar or task functions for e.g. parking reminders.

Buy a simple battery alarm clock, it'll do the job far better.
[HD2 General] wigwam12:
no offence intended at all omneity but that answer is a little slippery.

Phones throughout the ages have had an "alarm" function [heck even the HD2 one has a "snooze" option!] which have done exactly what it said on the tin.

These are multifunction devices - otherwise why not just have the phone doing what a phone is supposed to do and leave off email/game/etc options?

maybe I am just ratty about it because I had the same issue this morning?! I only discovered yesterday that the HD2 alarm won't function if the phone is off :o

JonBaker76 I didn't even know it only rang twice. Yesterday it only rang once and there was such a long pause between it and the 2nd ring I thought that short single burst was it. Today I waited and found it did ring again so assumed it would keep repeating until snoozed or dismissed :(

If you do find a fix for it I would be interested to learn also - although to be fair I have the ring volumes loud and would usually be up by the 2nd round if not the first:)
[HD2 General] Mindreaver:
I slept through it several times, now using G-Alarm :P
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
The fix is to chuck a 'continuous' tone into the windows root folder and select it. I'll be recording the sound of a numatic drill and putting that in :p

It might have to be a wav, will check tonight.

And i agree with your comments
[HD2 General] omneity:
The HD2 will also play video files, but I doubt if anyone would consider it a substitution for a cinema.

Not "slippery" just being pragmatic.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
fight, fight :D

To be fair, an alarm is a very basic function and i actualy do use it in place of going to the cinema, i watch tons of films on it on my travels to work :cool:
[HD2 General] wigwam12:
Apologies if you took offence to the word slippery; couldn't find a suitable way to express the impression of "why is this apple red?" "if you want a non-red fruit have an orange" type episode :p

I also feel I am being pragamatic in trying to find a way to make the "alarm" function work as one would naturally assume it aught [and how it does on countless other "lesser" phones] rather than having to resort to another piece of hardware fot this basic fuction.

And as it happens I fully intend from my phone to be a portable cinema for my my kids on long journeys - avi on the sd card and tcpmp looks a great option :D

I've been using WM's alarm since my first WM device (TYTN, TYTNII) and now on my HD2... Had it for a couple of months and it never failed...

Until this morning...

Phone had more than 50% battery, the alarm was on an well configured (indeed I never change the config)... I even always set 2 alarms (example: 1 at 7:00 the other at 7:15)... THEY BOTH FAILED...

After waking I set one of the alarms to trigged 20 mins after the actual time and it worked as always...

I'm kinda confused really... don't know what to think about this... :confused::confused::confused:

Soft reset, hope it doesn't happen again is the best i can do mate :o
[HD2 General] wigwam12:
Thanks.

I set it up last night. I initially tried the 0.81RC version but after installing it kept giving me an error on initialising so uninstalled it and used the 0.72 version linked in the Apps forum here and it works a treat. Thomas the Tank Engine in all its glory :)

(actually I say that but the play/pause/forward button are blacked-out - I actually randomly jabbed at the black area to discover there were buttons underneath :D )

Going back to the Alarm I have read one thread too many about crashes where ultimately G-Alarm was found to be the culprit to be happy using that.

Also had a strange issue where alarm was set to 10.15am; as I was awake I pressed on the alarmat ~10.05 and reset it to 10.10am so I could see how it worked but it only went off at 10.15.

Went into the alarms and notification window and it had it there as 10.10 still :confused:

[HD2 General] mknewman:
Multiple alarms

I've been running Windows Mobile since it was Windows CE 2.0 and it's always had a problem with alarms getting doubled after resets. There is a company called Scarybearsoftware that has a fix called CheckNotifications that goes in and cleans out duplicates from the database. http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/product_detail.php?productname=checknotify

They also have a version down at the bottom of that page that you can put in the startup.

It works great for me, but I'm on WM2003SE and YMMV.
[HD2 General] m0j0j0j0123:
Bugs the hell out of me that it wont go off when switched off, I keep having to put the phone in airplane mode overnight, so i can use it as my alarm (as i have doe with all my previous phones) and not get woken by any random txts or calls!

Of course it is an alarm clock... they just didn't bother their arse to code it properly, more important fish to fry n' all that
[HD2 General] pedroxxx:
hope

soft-reset will do the trick, but as it was in my case, it will occur again and worst thing is ... you never know when :-)

So here are the choices:

1. you can use other, better reliable devices, if you have any :-)

2. I saw somewhere at this forum, when vibrating is also selected, there should be no problem

3. every evening soft-reset :-)

4. advice from HTC support is to use default WM setting for the alarms instead of HTC application

(Start-settings-menu-all-Clock and alarm-alarm-click on the bell icon and select the alarm sound-tap OK to save the modifications)

5. other alarm application and hope again that problem is not somewhere in WM itself

In my case, I am using older V1.48(because V1.66 is still not released for our region) and after trick No2. it is still working more than 2 weeks :-)
[HD2 General] omneity:
If they'd coded it to sound continuously until switched off it would lead to greater battery drain. As others have said, there are other third-party applications if you require a more persistent alarm. It's not a big deal for most users.
[HD2 General] jsw44:
