[General Questions and Answers] Mister B:
Got a Touch Pro

well I went for the Touch Pro due to the fact I like the size, design & the spec should meet my needs.

I could of gone for the Touch Pro 2 but after handling one I was not willing to pay the price tag for the cheap feel of the device plus it is quite big.

The Touch Pro is a very capable device & can be had for sensible money making it a great buy.

Currently have mine running TAEL WM6.5.5 standard ROM & hours of tweaking.

I am happy with the device, slider could of been a little better !

Likes:

Great sound quality for mp3 playback (using 3.5 adaptor & SE w880 headphones)

Nice Screen

Tactile keyboard

Plenty of apps & support to resolve most users issues

build quality is good

nice sized device, not too big not too small

good amount of memory and RAM

Dislikes:

D-Pad fiddly to use

battery could do with more Mah

Keyboard Slider is not the smoothest or strongest feeling

A couple more hardware buttons would of been useful

This device is simply a good buy & can be had new for around £150

Got mine from Vodafone & was supplied unlocked.

Thanks for helping me with my quandary :-D
[General Questions and Answers] stylez:
Glad you like :)

Cost the same as i paid and @ that the device is a steal.
[General Questions and Answers] ElCondor:
Good choice; Indeed the D-pad sucks, especially in games like Call of duty 2 (which can be hardware-accelerated on the raphael).

You can always buy a bigger battery, though your raphael will get thicker if you do that.

I have a pair of NU Force NE-8's and they worked awesomely on my Blackstone, but I cant seem to get them to work on my Leo. I also tried the iPhone headset and I couldn't get any response from the phone when I hit the button on the headset. I have installed the cab to reroute the remote to the manila music player, and still nothing..

Any ideas?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Lyian:
Just curious..What is everyone's programming language of choice when developing apps for WinMo?

Ive been working (lightly) on a VB program, which is ok, but i feel it isnt as efficient as others might be, and i know efficiency and size is a big issue on mobile devices (obviously)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stephj:
Depends:

A simple program or one that can be done just using the stuff in the standard system DLLs then I will go for the pain of coding it in WIN32 C++. The resulting application runs like the wind, and can be distributed as a single executable file, no CAB, no installation projects, etc etc.

If I need any web or fancy data functionality, then it is .NET, because it is not worth the hassle of getting all this to work from levels lower down.

Having had lots of previous coding experience in C/C++ then C# is the natural choice, but as far as .NET is concerned, the actual language you code in is irrelevant. It compiles down to IL anyway and the CPU 'JIT' compiles this into its own code before it runs. Hence the performance hit when the program starts and runs.

In .NET, in essence, all you are doing anyway, is creating .NET objects, setting their properties and calling their methods, in order to get them to do what your application requires. A simplistic view, I know, but that's is all there is to it!

The language that you use to do this doesn't really matter, it is just personal preference.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Lyian:
I guess i assumed one language had more efficantcy than another. Like im working with VB atm, and i know it simplifies alot of things to make it easier to use, not sure if it includes all that extra code in the final build or not tho.

I would like to get more pratice with C++ and i have yet to use C# so dono whats different about that.

I would like to eventually start making programs that utilize the .net code and get my programs talking though data on the phone, but im not that advanced yet.

currently im still trying to wrap my head about making a program with a local database. The program im working on currently doesn't store any data, but i would like to to. I would also like (if i get ambitious) to have that program possibly talk to a PC (parent) program and sync with it. But that i think is a ways off.

Also, do the Mobile SDK's look different? The program im working on i started in the 5 SDK, but (obviously) doesnt have Finger friendly IU tools. I haven't looked at the 6/6.5 SDK yet (as id have to start over again i think). Does it have more finger friendly options?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
In .NET CF, the finger-friendlinnes and kinetic scrolling and this all isn't available for all controls. Most of them (the classic ones) are, but if you try using scrolling for whole form, it won't work, only scrollbar will. (Probably with some playing with physicsengine and marshalling you might be able to get it working here, too).

In C++, there are numerous examples of this gestures etc directly in SDK, also many other stuff is there.

See, the main difference here is that .NET is fully equipped with stuff to get everything done fast, easy way.

In C++, you must first make this way yourself :).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Lyian:
i am using the .net 3.5 framework tho.. Unless you mean C++ vs C#. I thought .net was an expansion on a current language, and not a language on it self (meaning i cant choose to program in .net, its an option to VB, C++ or C#)

I did toy with it, and it appears as tho your right, the forums are the same. IE drop down/combo boxes are not finger friendly. Guess id have to turn it to a button and another form with large radio button options.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
C# vs C++ main difference is that C++ is compiled to native code right on first time, which makes it very fast. C# is compiled to MSIL, which is NOT native code yet. When you run c# app, the code is being Just-In-Time (JIT) compiled to native code, which makes it "longer" to load and "slower" to run (usually that makes about 20% of speeddown on classic PCs with very optimalized C++ same code - it probably already is lower, this is a bit older result of testing).

C# has those nice features that it can't get out of its memory etc, the JIT is almost unhackable, so you can't write viruses in it etc.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stephj:
As far as the SDKs are concerned, there are slight differences from one version to the next but they can be quite difficult to spot.

They can become issues, when code written to run on one platform is run on one several generations away. I have a program that was written in C++ WM2003. Works under all versions of WM until 6.5.3, when the About Dialog box fails to close if the (X) button is pressed. Turns out another value has to be added to the dialogbox flags field to get it to behave properly.

This has been a feature of SDK's from WM 5.0 onwards, but the WM2003 SDK is unaware of it. You have to add it manually to the shell code created by the SDK,

Progress I suppose. The full article is here:

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Lyian:
I noticed something else odd. When i run the app on my pone, the resolution is off. Now everything looks ok, i just mean that when i run it on my phone, theirs alot of "white dead space" at the bottom. I can only guess this is due to the SDK's catered to phones with smaller screen resolutions (ie Touch Pro) with buttons.. Is their a way for me to switch the resolution to ultilize the full Touch Pro 2 screen size (480x320 i think)?

[HD2 General] donalgodon:
Sorry...As a former Symbian user (and Mac user) I am not so familiar with Windows Mobile file management.

How can I organize my apps into the folders I have in my "Start" menu?

Whenever I install something, it just dumps it there. I assume there must be a way to do it, but I cannot figure it out.

Thanks. :o

(Hoping it is not a registry tweak...why is nothing simple on Windows?)
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
try going through file manager and creating a new fodlers and move apps to that?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
as above answer, but don't try moving anything pre installed because they will re appear when you soft reset.(I'm thinking particularly of the htc apps. there is a tweak to prevent it, but it can be surprising the first time you see it happen)
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
Sorry, but can I just move the apps to the pre-existing folders, say....

"Games"

or

"Internet," etc?

I want to just move them. How do I do that using the file manager?

I see a "Send..." option, but I am not sure what part of the file to send. IS that how I would 'move' something to a folder?

:o
[HD2 General] Archer:
It's a bit of a pain with file manager as you can (usually) only do 1 file at a time. Long-hold a shortcut and select cut. Then go to the folder you want it in and do menu, edit, paste.

If you use something like Resco Explorer or Total Commander then you can do multiple files at a time.
[HD2 General] antaed:
from what i understand you just want to reorganize your start menu to look cleaner.

in the start menu you have shortcuts and folders. to access them you need to start file explorer and go to: my device > windows > start menu > programs. then just cut & paste

if you want, you can also make new folders - just tap on menu in file explorer.

some of the shortcuts/folders will reappear after reset. to prevent this you need to do a trick you can find under the "tips, tricks and reg tweaks" thread.
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
Thanks to all...got it...so far!
[HD2 General] Archer:
Open file manager and navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs then follow the instructions above to cut and paste the shortcuts.

I assume you'll want to create folders to put some shortcuts in, and you do that by going to menu and then new folder.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kajiri:
Is there really much of a difference?

I'm in Canada and have been contemplating getting the TP2 from Telus for a while now, but reading up I noticed are versions that do not have CDMA/GSM bundled together?

Is one better than the other? I tried searching around but either my keywords suck or I'm blind becaue i couldnt find another thread like this. sorry if its a repeat (i'm almost sure it is..)

Which carrier branded version would you suggest I try to get (and why?).

Thanks again :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
if you are getting a carrier branded, just go with your carrier. all cdma versions of the tp2 have a gsm radio for international usage. if you buy a gsm version of the tp2 (ones without cdma) you can not use it on a cdma network such as telus.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I'd say the biggest difference between them, to the end user, is the absence of the 3.5mm headphone jack on the GSM exclusive versions. As The Jack of Clubs said, just get the version your carrier offers, since it's guaranteed to support all the carrier's features, like 3G bands and such.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BULLITT3200:
I have just recently downloaded Titanium Backup in order to save my apps because I want to try new ROMs that say to do full wipes including EXT wipes. I was just curious what the proper way to use the program to restore apps was. Also, if Titanium Backup saves to your sd card and you do an EXT wipe, won't that delete all of your saved data? How does it restore? I hope this question isnt on the forum somewhere, I tried searching and couldnt quite find the answer i was looking for.

Thanks for the help. You guys on here have been lifesavers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowch31:
Hi,

Okay so first Titanium backup will back up your system settings and your applications and does a fine job at it too! When you wipe your Ext2/3/4 partition all your doing is cleaning off any data held in it. This does not effect your fat 32 partition which is where all your stuff is (pictures, albums, films, ringtones etc) I haven't deleted my fat32 partition ever as this never needs touching really. Apps2sd runs from your Ext partiton so wiping will kill all your apps but this is where Titanium comes in and as it saves to the fat32 partition you have no worries wiping. Also suggest backing up on a PC, I do once a week and saved me a few headaches ;)

Open Titanium and hit menu, then batch. This will bring up a list of options to 'Run' backup or restore. I would strongly suggest also to donate $3.99 for the paid version with the hyper shell.

Anything else you need help with?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BULLITT3200:

I'm having problems with Titanium Backup. I made backup of a lot of apps before flashing some new stuff to my Galaxy S, but now when I try to restore them it just gets stuck. At first there's that little window saying restoring, but that disappears and it seems like everything is fine. However, when I try to restore next app it just says that a process is already running and it stays that way until I kill it via Autokiller. The app gets installed so that's fine, but the problem is that I would really like to just run a batch-operation and not have to kill the Titanium-process for every app i have back-up of...

Another restore question

I installed Titanium backup on my Galaxy S Captivate yesterday, did a batch backup of "all user apps + System Data" in the list it showed the bloatware ATT apps which I wanted to uninstall but with the option of reinstalling them if I ever needed to bring the phone back to ATT.

I did a test uninstall of one of the market apps and then did a restore and it worked fine. Then I tried to un installed one of the ATT apps, which worked but when I tried to restore it by clicking on the crossed out app at the bottom of the list, there is no option to restore it, just delete.

Did I do something wrong with the backup or am I not restoring it properly? my test worked fine so I thought I had it figured out but obviously I am doing something wrong.

any help would be appreciated.

This happened to me as well. Go into the "more" option thru Titanium and select the Market Doctor. This should link your apps back up with the Market. Also, sometimes simply installing an app thru the Market and/or a reboot will get my installed apps to show up properly.

Hope that worked, but just in case, there's another way. Once in Titanium, click backup/restore, and then scroll to your desired app. Long press the app and then click the option to "attach to market (forced)."

Market Doctor - Amazon Market

I installed a new ROM and restored my apps with TiBu. I was having some syncing problems in the Android Market so I ran Market Doctor. The problem is that I did not know to de-select the Amazon sourced apps so 47 of them got linked to the Android Market. I have since manually de-linked (long press) each of those apps solving most of the problem but they still show up in the Market list but under the 'Not Installed' section at the bottom. Is there a way to permanently break the link? I am concerned about having to deal with it in the future. Maybe re-run Market Doctor following the proper de-select process?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
I have never purchased any apps from Amazon, so I was unaware of this problem... so it sounds like now that you've unlinked those Amazon apps the Market is displaying them as if you had previously purchased them... hmm that blows.

What if you restored a nandroid from before you ran the Market Doctor? I know it might be a bit of a hassle, but at least you'd know not to link Amazon apps next time... or reflash your ROM and restore with a Titanium backup from before the Market Doctor run...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orb_526:
I don't have a nandroid backup. I think I will try to keep it as is for a week and see how it goes. It seems to be better after a day, a few reboots, and some updated apps from the market being installed. The "Not Installed" list has disappeared from the Market app. I have found in the past that it takes a few days for the Market to sync up properly. I heard that this issue is more common on Samsung phones and I have a Captivate. I read in another thread that Market Doctor does not really play well with the Galaxy S.

One last note... I have found that the AppBrain App Market app to be very helpful in these times. It seems to do a better job of finding updates even when the Market app does not. I recommend it for anyone in this situation.
