Btw, don't give into the "zoom" frenzy with cameraphones. With Samsung and a few others being the notable exceptions (I'm drooling over the yet-to-be-announced Samsung Halo), the phones use merely digital zoom, which, if you talk to anybody who knows their stuff, is nothing but coding junk. You get the same effect (maybe even better) using video-editing software.

For the focus, the Dream's camera is a two-stage camera button, and that function is disabled on HTC's camera software. Personally, I use that button a lot and get better pictures with it (I can hold the focus until the shot I want is ready), but I guess it's a matter of personal taste.

I'd like to see better video encoding done for the Android's camera. Winmo phones have registry tweaks to allow for better video recording. I wonder why it hasn't been tried for the Dream (mostly because it requires modifying the source, I believe)...

---edit---

Oh, dang, no optical zoom on the Halo, bummer. It's got a projector and 16 GB internal storage though. If it's like the Galaxy, then 1 GB is for apps. That phone will make me glad I had so many problems with my N1 order and ended up not getting one.

HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???

thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] donalgodon:
You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mughal90:
I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Audio Oblivion:
Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!

The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.

Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.

The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.

Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.

Hmm I get an error saying "Cannot Open English File" when Swype starts up anyone else having this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version :). Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues :), will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.

So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!

:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Peew971:
I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.

I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] astrodemoniac:
Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] donalgodon:
I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] weenween:
leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.

Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.

what htc skin? for swype? link please!

i am going through the motions with the newer version of swype now.

found that my data connections werent working correctly after install... reset them with correct settings... working fine now.

my exchange sychronisation asked for a password when it was already stored... working fine now after putting password back in.

i have two pop3 email accounts setup.... these dissappeared from windows but were available in sense still.... deleted them and recreated so all working fine now.

not sure what else to check for at the moment but it looks so far like all the issues created by the t-mobile version of swype can be resolved.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Here's the skin: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=604949

But it does not work with this new version of Swype. The only other thing you might need to setup is your owner information, as this was also removed by the Swype installation.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Audio Oblivion:
Thanks.

Just checked my owner info and its all still there.

Found something else though... its a bit of a bug with Skyfire... no biggie but skyfire normally shows you as logged in when you start it. After new swype install skyfire still shows you all of your feeds and bookmarks as it would normally but it doesnt show you as logged in. It displays the login/register link... even though its still functioning as normal. Weird and im sure a re-install of skyfire would solve it but its not affecting functionality so ill leave it alone.

[HD2 General] tcc13:
Ok, this is really driving me nuts.

I've made a few pictures for my contacts and resized them on the long side to 272 or 280 pixels and they show up nicely. But others that I have done the same are cut off at the bottom/top.:confused:

What is the actual size that pictures should be sized too? And yes I've even used the full size in the htc picture viewer and when it resizes it it's still chopped.

What does everyone else do/use?

TIA
[HD2 General] tcc13:
Anyone?? :(
[HD2 General] alex fung:
Don't crop or resize them yourself in advance. Do it when you add the photo to the contact and never mind about pixel counts.

I have had no real issues with my N1 since I got it. I have been using CM's roms. The other day I noticed that when I was making and receiving calls the wrong organization was showing up.

Thanks in advance,

[Nexus One General] eXelero:
same here.

the organization is shown up wrong in the in-call page.

in my case, the contacts were synced via Gmail. I've checked there and the information is set correctly. even on the phone, if I go to edit the contact details, the organization is shown correctly. only when in the in-call page, the information is wrong...

tried to re-sync several times with Gmail after changing some information, only to test, but it won't correct the situation...

I am glad that I am not the only one. I even turned of sync and deleted all the contacts on my gmail and on phone. Then restored a back up to my gmail account and let the phone sync up but it didn't fix it. The only way I have corrected it on some contacts is to delete them and reenter them. Its okay when the only have one number but when they have multiple numbers and emails it will be a hassle.

Wrong Organization

I am also getting wrong organization for the calls coming in. It is quite disconcerting, because I need this data to be right. However, I fulfill this need by using the name and number to figure it out myself, and by asking the caller who they're calling from. This should be fixed soon.

I have model Nexus One, firmware 2.1-update1, baseband 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2, kernel 2.6.33.1-cyanogenmod shade@toxygene #1, mod version CyanogenMod-5.0.5.3-N1, build #EPE54B.

P.S., with all my "should"s, of course I am very grateful for any and all work that's gone into this for otherwise uncompensated work. I'm leaning toward learning this programming myself, so if anybody insists and points me to the right primers, I could fix it myself.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramdroid77:
HTCVolumeControl.dll is a service DLL. So when calling the opening function you'll only get a handle to the service. The functions you posted here is the interface that every service DLL consists of.

When developing my Taskbar launcher I'm blocking the WM_LBUTTONDOWN/UP events from taskbar to launch my own stuff instead. And one guy complaint that HTC Volume control wasn't working anymore. After a little investigation I figured out that HTC Volume control is sending those messages with X=367 and Y=26 to make it launch the volume control window.

So to open HTC Volume control you simply have to call FindWindow to retrieve a handle to the status bar and then send both WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_LBUTTONUP with those coordinates in the LPARAM (Y in the hiword, X in the loword, or look at Remote spy to catch the "combined" value). I don't know how to use this in C# (probably the usual PInvoke: FindWindow and SendMessage?) but if you can't figure it out I'm sure someone else can help on.

To verify just open Remote Spy, select HHTaskbar and then hit the Volume up/down buttons on your phone and you should see the LBUTTON events.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] JVH3:
Thank you very much for this. When I get home from work,. I'll have some things try and learn.

I have not used Remote Spy before and have only grabbed handles to Windows in desktop programming. That was about 10 years ago.

This makes greate sense, since it can be launched from the status bar.

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] JVH3:
OK, I have coded this and am able to get the window handle and send it messages, but since the speaker that is normally visable on the same row as the clock does not launch the volume control, it doesn't quite work.

Non programatically, I must click the clock and then click the windows logo that appears. I have attached pictures.

When I send the message, the other row appears so then I can click the Windows logo. But I have not figured out what that window is. If it is HTTaskBar, then it is not responding.

Remote Spy is great. Just wish there were a way to stop and start the reading of messages and a way to capture it to a data file.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramdroid77:
well, as I have experienced it the WM_LBUTTON* command is not used to programmatically click on the task bar and hit the icon. I think HTC Volume Control is hooked into the task bar and if receiving a special coordinate (the one I told you) it means: show it. It was reproducible on the HTC Touch Diamond, and it was also working on another device, I think Touch HD, which got a different screen resolution. So it doesn't check if you hit the coordinates of the volume icon, it only checks for the fixed coordinates. That's why it only works with this special coordinate.

The new WM 6.5 slidebar that pops up when hitting the taskbar is a different window, it's not HHTaskbar. Forget this one.

You should check again: open Remote Spy and listen to the messages of HHTaskbar. Then hit the volume up/down controls - I mean the hardware buttons of your device - and NOT hitting the taskbar. Now you should see the WM_LBUTTON* events (among many others, but those are unimportant). You need to send exactly the same and it should work.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramdroid77:
Oh if you can't get it done at all! Another way you might want to try is using kbd_event() and simulate the hardware buttons (volume up/down) but I haven't tried it and I don't know which keycodes you need. Probably it's even the better solution but I just randomly figured out the WM_LBUTTON* method when working on Taskbar launcher and thought it's easy enough. 3 lines of codes, that is. Yes..... yes.... I know the kbd_event might even be a 1 liner. So I'm sorry for any irritation but I hope one of those methods finally works for you!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramdroid77:
oh! Now this looks quite lengthy. And it's only working on your current screen resolution.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] JVH3:
I have it working and just posted the code to do it.

Problem is that the hardware buttons launch the ugly windows mobile volume control.

I was writing this, so that I could launch the HTC Volume Control from the volume button key presses.

I still have to add more to handle the volume button presses but that will have to wait until tomorrow to start.

Thanks again for your help.

Using Remote Spy was the key.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] JVH3:
The purpose is so that I can have the volume buttons launch the HTC Volume Control.

Currently it launches the ugly Windows Mobile Volume Control for all Raphael / Touch Pro / Fuze Roms that use the later 6.5.x builds such as 23529.

It does work when it's in landscape 2, so I am thinking the first 2 messages might not even be needed.

It's already working properly with Rhodium, Topez, and Leo without needing to do anything like this.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] JVH3:
App that launches HTC Volume Control

This is really just a proof of concept app.

I wrote this for the Fuze and that is currently the only device that I know it works on.

But, the good news is that we can now launch the HTC Volume Control from code.

There are now multiple ways we can make the volume buttons launch the HTC Volume Control with this.

small exe that launches it so any existing keymapper program can launch the volume control.

exe that handles the vol up and vol down key strokes and launches it.
