Thanks

but it did not fix landscape

I have a Imagio which is WVGA and Im sure there is a bug for landscape in wmp. If you click rotate button on MUSIC nothing happens If you click rotate on Videos it rotates but if you touch anything on screen it rotates back

My xv6700 rotated and would stay in landscape until I rotated with a click on screen

Hi

Just got this great phone, and its great. I really like android OS.

I've gotten exchange setup, but i can't find any setting for on/off peak sync. I want mail to be delivered at once in work hours, and manual after work.

Is this even possible?
[Legend General] salahag:
I'm running the a Legend Rom on my Hero, looked for that option but it doesn't seem to be available.

But, On one of the roms I tried before, I really can't remember, could be the Eris leaked rom, or most possibly one of the Vanilla roms (no HTC Sense) the option was there in Accounts and Sync settings. You could set working days and hours and have different sync frequencies between working and non-working hours.

It's a shame if HTC would disable this very improtant function.
[Legend General] Jarune:
the option isn't here, just got the legend since a few days and loving it.

You can tell it in what interval it's going to check mail. Another option i found usefull is to turn of autosync for all items/widgets/apps and get the widget from HTC autosync all on your main screen.
[Legend General] arxx:
Ok thanks... then I wasn't blind :) Since "all" smartphones have the option of setting on and off peak, I hoped the option were hidden somewhere :)
[Legend General] arxx:
Maby Roadsync will support this... But since Paid apps isn't available in my country, i can't buy it :(

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] icepally:
Well after going through "half" process of rooting and loading a ROM onto my phone, I've had enough of a headache, and through some searching I can't find a real clear answer on how to do one thing:

How can I go back to my factory resets of Android 1.6? Because now when I do a factory reset I get to firmware 1.5, and I just want to go back to how I bought my MyTouch 3g

Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere else I could not find it; if so and you could point me to that thread it would be appreciated, or by answer here.

Thank you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jonahs:
I'm using a perfected 32A Magic and (having my head up my ass) updated to the latest update for my phone, which included Sense UI. I asked HTC support if I could get the factory delivered ROM back, which did not include Sense UI. The short answer: This is not possible. The longer answer: If you are having a perfected Magic (if you have updated with the official HTC updates it is likely you have a perfected phone) with one of the latest updates, you are not going to be able to go back at this time. If you already have a rooted and non-perfected Magic, well, then it's just a matter of finding the right ROM for you, which shouldn't be hard. Check in the Android discussion for that.

Did you happen to create a backup using flashrec.apk? if so then you simply need to dump the file from your SD card to memory.

I would suggest that you look up theunlockr.com for detailed instruction WITH video. you wont regret it.

whats up everyone, just got my hd2 from t-mobile and i installed slingplayer mobile and it works great however when i go into full screen mode it changes the full screen to the right of the phone and i want to change it to the opposite side. is there a simple way to do this? maybe a registry edit. i have already searched and either i am using the wrong key words but i cant find anything.

thanks for the help.
[HD2 General] zolom:
try Slingplayer 2.x. it is much better.

use BSB or ChangeScreen to associate rotation to the player. i use changeScreen.

Hello,

Is there a parameter to pass ":MSCONTACTS" to go directly to an individual contact? I'm interested in adding start menu shortcuts for some of my favorite contacts. Thanks in advance...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramdroid77:
As far as I know there's no direct way to launch a contact. However I'm currently working on a new version of Taskbar launcher which allows to launch contacts directly. I also can easily add a command line parameter so you can launch your contacts through a link....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] miker2431:
When you use WM 6.5's "search" program, you can parse through and launch contacts individually, so I'm sure there's a way to do it. I just don't know how it does what it does....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramdroid77:
You can connect to POutlook, parse through contacts and call the Show() function and you see the original contact dialog. At least that's how I do it in my app and let me guess: search function is doing just the same. I don't think you can do this through a simple :MSCONTACTS command line parameter....

Create a direct link for a certain telephone nr/sms/mms/email/more..

In a way it's easy. :D Start reading a thread I created specific for it ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623195

In short, start a text editor (no unicode) like notepad and type ;

39#"\Windows\cprog.exe"-url tel:0123456789

where 0123456789 = any telephone number.

Make sure you press the ENTER key after your phone nr. and before saving the file!

Give it a name. Rename the file from YourContactName.txt to YourContactName.LNK (capitals are not nessecary, it's just for clarity).Another example;

Direct SMS :eek: (I called it SMS2.lnk);

51#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""

@Senax

With your approach you can directly call a hard coded number or send message, right!? With the method I'm using however you can directly open the contact page for a particular person, see the contact picture and choose whether you want to make a call, write message or email etc.

I mean this one:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frmariam:
go2contact is what you want. It's a really cool, tiny, super fast cmd app.

I added a dynamic contact shortcuts page to my HS++ theme (I can manage them on-the-fly in the Today screen) by means of Mortscripts that use go2contact and ContactRetriever (this last conponent is C# which makes this process slower... but it seems like Cyclone is learning C++ so there may be a faster version :)).

Sadly I couldn't agree more... I had been waiting for the mytical complete revamping of the Windows Mobile OS, and when the first real info came out in Spain, I was stoked by what they were presenting (although I couldn't understand the oddly offset homescreen squares)... This week has been nothing but disappointment after disappointment :( It seems they took all the bad plays out of the iphone playbook (which apple has mostly since corrected) and decided to repeat them. I was hoping for an windows 'iphone' that righted all the wrongs of Apple:

-Controlled Interfaces (both in Syncronizing information with PC and in application installs)

-Real Copy and Paste

-File System

-Use as a USB flash Drive when connected to computer

-Removeable media

Windows Mobile, was ugly and slow, but useful once you knew it. I just feel now that this will be pretty, but no better than a 1G iphone
[Windows Phone 7 General] THE GRIZZ:
i dont disagree with any of your points
[Windows Phone 7 General] ZaxXx:
Yes, I also agree. Microsoft has just threw out everything, that was keeping Windows Mobile different, usable and customizable. I use copy&paste, multitasking and today plugins every day and I can't live without it. I won't use Windows Phone 7, I'd better wait if somebody makes a mobile phone running full desktop Windows (I think it will be someday, now we have HD2 with 1GHz CPU and we are also able to boot Ubuntu on HTC devices).
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
Microsoft is mitigating all of the flaws of Windows Mobile. You anti-WP7 guys seem to be forgeting that the WM platform was quickly becoming a marketplace failure. Whether you like iPhone or not, there are plenty of things Apple did right (which is why they're kicking a** right now). If you want to call modern smartphone users dumb, then you have to realize that the entire general public is "dumb" and "dumb" people is where the money is. Tech geeks are just not a large enough market to build a platform around. I bet in a few years, Android will become the NEW Windows Mobile (and I mean that in a bad way ;) )

I for one, love the way MS is now focused on user-experience and integration (hubs) as opposed to a bunch of unrelated apps. I was wishing for that long before I knew what a iPhone or WP7 was.

Apple's idea of tying together all of it's products is a winning strategy. MS is the only company that can top Apple at this particular strategy: Zune, XBox, Office, Exchange, FaceBook (MS owns a huge share) and etc.. They have already opened up the platform for development even though the phone isn't even released yet.

MS seems to be really focused on people that actually use their phones to enhance their lives, as opposed to people using their lives to enhance their phones. Good job MS! ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] DarkDvr:
Whether MS is taking the most profitable approach or not, is a different topic. I do agree that majority of users are "dumb" and freak out at anything that takes more than 5 clicks to do. However, I HIGHLY doubt they can catch on to Apple and give simple users a better experience than iPhone already gives. If we consider the release timeframe, and high possibility of iPhone 2, MS has picked a wrong battle and will fail miserably while we all laugh our asses off at the fugly interface that WM7 has.

However, I'm speaking from my own perspective, and what *I* want and need in a phone. Fortunately for me, WM, even having worst interface ever (thankfully fixed by HTC), still catered to all my tweaking/developing needs. I'd even say to the needs of the majority of people at xda - this is a developer forum after all, not an Apple fan-club.

And from that I can assume that the approach that MS is taking will make "advanced" users like me and people here at xda to feel like MS has failed them and abandoned them, turning to "dumb users". And that never feels good.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
I actually love the new WP7 interface...giant words, big active tiles and all. I had Sense in my TP2 for about a month and finally decided that while it was pretty looking, it was not efficient at all. To much pressing and swiping to get to where I needed to go. Back to Titanium for me.

I think in due time, there will be a hacking community around WP7 just like this one...maybe even THIS one :p

Advanced users can fend for themselves. Isn't this how XDA grew? I'm sure it'll happen again with WP7.

iPhone 2 ? Naw, I think Apple has shot it's load and is just going to work on building and maintaining the market it has. I don't expect anything revolutionary out of Apple for a while (at least as far as smartphones go). I don't think they'll do what MS did and ditch the old iPhone for a new iPhone platform. MS was sort of forced to ditch WM if they wanted to compete.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DarkDvr:
Well, in BEST case scenario (for MS), that's what will happen. However, for me, that's wishful thinking.

Will there be WM7 hacks? Yeah, of course. Question is, how easy/available/useful they will be. WM6 platform, even with all its deficiencies, is a nice and easy platform to tweak/expand. So far, WM7 looks to be complete opposite of that (just look at their idea of branding and marketplace), and few hacks that will be released won't make up for anything. Especially when 90% of all developers will switch to a more friendly platform (perhaps even Android).
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
I, personally would want to develop for a platform where I can turn a profit. Is Android at that stage yet (I'm asking, I don't know). If Android is so open and customizable the way WM was/is, then inevitably it's going to suffer the same fate as WM.

It seems that MS is making WP7 very developer friendly. What's wrong with developing for WP7 ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] DarkDvr:
Android isn't going anywhere. It may not be as explosive as iPhone, but it's here to stay, if google does it right. And google pretty much always does everything right.

Problem with programming for WM7, and I'm going on a limited info that's curretly available, is that MS is putting down a "draconic" ((c) engadget) restrictions on anything that comes onto WM7 devices. Everything has to be within standards and everything has to go through the marketplace. In fact, reviewers are saying that methods that MS is implementing on WM7 infrastructure are much more strict that even Apple's. That spells "BAD NEWS" for me in big, bold letters.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
This is the only way to ensure that the "dumb" consumers get a great experience. The average consumer doesn't want to tweak and figure out things. They want to quickly download intuitive apps that just work. Perhaps MS will be able to minimize "garbage apps" (though there are bound to be some). Look at the success of the App store. I think part of it's success is that their app store wasn't so fragmented like the WM market is. One place to download and purchase all apps for the platform (straight to the phone at that!) is a lot easier than endlessly Googling to find what you need on some random site. Again, this is catering to the "dumb" people and not the geeks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DarkDvr:
Yep, I won't argue that simplicity of use is paramount. However, I do see a trend of separation between regular users and developers.

And, although I do agree that developers seeking profit will develop on the most used platform, there is a also a huge factor of developers not wanting to use a device that limits their desire for customization.

I guess the question is which of those factors will overpower another. And will we have to buy 2 devices - one for "work", one for the "soul" :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
I think the industry is headed towards the user-friendly way of doing things. Hackers will fend for themselves (as always). Smartphones are only going to get more popular to the point where they are as common as the regular cell phone. A typical WM device could never support that kind of market. Only devices like WP7, iPhone, Pre and etc. will be appealing to this huge market of non-geeks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DarkDvr:
And that's excellent. However, that doesn't mean that the device should be "locked" and limited to modification. The idea behind the android is probably the most appealing to me - it's a very user-friendly interface that is completely open to any modification, including the end-user modification like moving stuff around, throwing widgets on the screen, etc.

In my mind, my perfect WM7 would be:

1. Build on a new platform, now the WinCE crap that gave us WM6.

2. Be very open to modification and adjustment, hopefully even moreso than WM6.

3. Not be locked in any way, allowing advanced users to tinker with devices.

4. For end users, come with an excellent user interface straight from the box. Openness to tinkering and ease of use are NOT mutually exclusive, they go hand-in-hand very well.

5. Platform absolutely must support all options available - meaning things like SDcard support, copy/paste, DEFINITELY multitasking (WTF, back to stone ages??), etc. Even though first phones might not have it all, there should be an existing support for it, so that companies/developers can take advantage of them.

I guess my ranting is due to the fact that Microsoft saw "gold" in Apple's ideas and went overboard with that. Along the way they completely ignored to include the potential into the device. Think of the military - you create, say, a tank - even if it's super-awesome today, if there is no room for potential improvements - it's a pile of useless metal in several years.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
Well, we don't know what's truly under the hood of WP7 yet. We know it has multitasking, it is just highly restricted. Copy and paste can be implemented within the app (MS'es alternative to C&P seem pretty slick though). I don't see WP7 as a blatant copy of Apple, MS just acknowledged some winning points of the iPhone platform and followed suit and improved upon it (that's smart business actually). I think MS concept of the OS is far more advanced than what iPhone delivers. I think the Pre and WP7 are the first of the "new style" of OS'es. Android sort of reminds me of WM.

Again, I think all of the customization and openness hinders the platform because you end up with so many incompatibilities and inconsistencies in the user experience. Even HTC Sense "broke" alot of the things I was used to in the standard WM interface (MS Voice Command and PhonEx just didn't work properly or consistently, for example). God only knows what would "break" if I installed some other WM shell.

I love the premise in WP7 that apps are supposed to work together. I don't know how this is going to play out in the real world, but if this is facilitated at the OS level, I don't see why it shouldn't be a great feature.

Some of the so-called Apple limitations are actually advantages for them (single form factor, only one App store highly regulated, lo-res graphics for speed, locked-in iPod/iTunes audience, no multitasking to possibly damage the user-experience).

If an experience on a platform is going to be consistent and pleasurable, it has to be highly controlled. You can't have a free-for-all and expect everything to just work together nicely. WM and Android are perfect examples of free-for-all, let's see how they do in the current market.

[Windows Phone 7 General] DarkDvr:
Well, everyone is entitled to an opinion. I don't share yours though:

I don't see anything that's "new style" about it. Cut words, ugly squares, "pushable" buttons look identical to the labels, which creates confusion.. etc etc.

So it's better not to have any at all? It's like saying "oh, we should have just 3 models of cars on the market, so that everything's consistent and buyers won't be confused". Openness and customization only help any platform greatly, it doesn't create incompatibilities and inconsistencies. Bad programmers do.

You're missing a word.. "I love the premise in WP7, that MICROSOFT'S apps are supposed to work together." We all know how bad their software can be, and now u won't even have a chance to fix it. Sit around for years, hoping that new version will fix the bugs and not introduce a mirriad of others.

Dude you're so anti-choice. I have a very different view. Choice is what creates competition and improvement. It's what drives the progress. Single form-factors, locked software, penalties for tinkering (jailbreak) - it all hinders the progress, it cannot possibly be better.

Openness of current WM platform is about the only plus it has, not its drawback. I think that's pretty much established.

Besides, as I've said before, you don't have to pick between a smooth experience and openness for customization. WM7 could have an excellent setup right from the box, if you like what they've made, even maybe the one they have now. Nobody says that at the same time it cannot have support for developer's imagination. Nobody besides MS's analytics who decided that copying Apple will bring them a big buck. Honestly, no, it won't.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DarkDvr:
>.< That's not the point.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
All consumer cars have the exact same interface. Steering, acceleration and brakes...;)

I haven't had experience with BAD MS software. It's always worked for me. Now the third-party stuff...that's a different story. If things like social networking and cloud computing are implemented on the OS level (instead in the app), it will be easier for third party apps to work in conjunction. Bing on the OS level will be a lot better than a Bing app. Same for Voice Command (if MS uses it).

This philosophy is failing WM and Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DarkDvr:
Then you've never used Windows ME or anything before Windows 98.

Let's just agree to disagree =)
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
Well, let me say that MS software is no worse than anyone else's. I didn't mean to say it was flawless...but whose software is? Let's face it, 90% of the world uses MS software, it can't be THAT bad or magic Apple would have beaten MS a long time ago.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DarkDvr:
That I can agree with. That's why Im so pissed that MS is not making its new phone OS as I want it. :D:mad:
