[General Questions and Answers] heov:
I was wondering what the simplest/best start menu bar replacement for wm6.5 is... i can't seem to search for the right thing.

I want to replace the entire start menu bar... w/ teh start button, the time, the sound, and notifactions (like wisbar or gigabar used to do back in teh day)

the reason why i want to replace it is because I don't like how my notifications are displayed. Currently, if I have one notification, it shows teh correct icon (missed call or email). But if I have 2 notifications, it shows the generic "notification" icon.

I'd prefer to see separate icons... i.e. a missed call icon, followed by an email icon to indicate these are my 2 notifications.

Moreover, on my phone (ipaq glisten), if I receive an email, the notification will show up on the start menu, but if hte email gets cleared on the server, the ipaq will also clear it (and it won't show up on my today screen), however, the icon remains until i go to the mail app (even though there are no longer any new mails). This is annoying.

Any suggestions? I don't need anything fancy... it's really just the nofications that are bothering me.
[General Questions and Answers] heov:
i guess my question can be simplifed to:

if i have more than one notification, how can i get them to display separate icons for each type of notifcation (instead of a generic "balloon"/notification icon)?

If anyone has used Windows Mobile Standard (non touch screen), you know what i mean. If i get an email and a missed call, i see 2 different icons on the startmenu/status bar.

my second question is:

if i receive an email, my phone will show the email icon on the start menu bar. this is great. however, if i don't touch my phone (so the icon is still there indicating unread email), and i check the mail on my computer, so it's marked as read, it will also be marked as red on my phon. this is also great. HOWEVER, it will still show the mail status icon in the start menu bar, even though there are no new messages anymore. To clear it, i have to go to the mail app...
[General Questions and Answers] heov:
bumpity bump... seems like this subforum is dead!

the email thing is still a really annoying issue... after clearing emails on my desktop, and i take a look at my phone, i think i still have new emails.. but i don't... it's just the icon isn't going away until i go to my inbox.
[General Questions and Answers] heov:
lol already on the third page... i hope i get banned for bumping again.

really, no one knows of a) a fix for my described problem or b) a program which shows all the notifications?

I've an HTC HD2 from orange france... I want put on it a newest rom (I have 1.43 branded orange) and I can't download from HTC sites any official roms cause my s/n is not compatible!

After reading your post about HSPL... I've tried to downgrade to 1.42 but... I can't donwload it from HTC site and without this I can't put other newest roms on my phone... I'm so lost! :D

how I can fix my problem?

Thank you,

Bryan
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
If you have rom 1.43 then you already have spl 1.42.0000.

Instal HSPL and then flash anything you like. No need to downgrade first.

Phone off

hold vol down

tap power

KEEP PRESSING VOL DOWN

wait for three coloured screen,

read spl from there
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] band27:
samsamuel is right. Just go into your bootloader screen by soft resetting your device while holding vol down until u see the tri-colour screen.

It should read the following:

PB81100 HX-BC

SLP1.42.000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

If so, then go ahead and conect to your pc to begin the HARD SPL process.

To do this, first soft reset your device again and then connect to begin. Make sure you have downloaded the <<HARD SPL FIRST>>
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bryan2x:
done. after HArd SPL, when I copy LEOIMG.nbh into my sdcard... the bootloader, ask me if I want to update my image... I press power button to confirm... and then I've read the message "not allowed 00028002"

when I restart my bootloader I can read this message "Upgrade ROM code error/ Please try again"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
don't use sd card.flash from usb, problem solved.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Are you sure hspl was successful? The Not allowed 0028002 error is due to the nbh file being having the wrong CID (Carrier ID) for your device, so this shows that you are trying to flash a rom from a wrong Carrier. HSPL should bypass this check, so that seems to point to your hspl not having been successfully installed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alipi2007:
than y don't u try again? download your ROM again. also try using USB.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bryan2x:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chowlala:
I know this question has been asked like a bajabber 2395293 millions times.

But my point is, is losing official OTA updates from Google worth the rooting?

EG: When Flash 10.xx arrives and the Nexus lands some major updates, what are the chances that rooted users get screwed over?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grainysand:
Considering that OTA updates get incorporated into custom ROMs anyway (and usually before they're officially out), it's not like you will be missing out on anything.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberingram:
This is best asked in Q&A. It all comes down to personal preference. We can't tell you what you should do.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babijoee:

and we dont lose any good things that come from those updates. Our beloved chefs will cook them right in along with their own nice extras.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackHawk6:

Heh. Oops. My bad. Sorry for posting in the wrong section. 2am and I've been boggling it over and over bout rooting vs official ota updates. And also about security issues. Not sure if rooting makes the N1 more vulnerable or not...

Best choice I ever made was rooting. It has made my phone 100 times for fun!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupojoe:
i don't see the point of rooting at this point

the only benefit i see is storing apps to SD
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJackson9995:
I'm sure you've done all your research, considering this is your first post and you joined this month....

Rooting opens you up to Undervolting to save battery, Tethering, Apps unavailable to non-rooted devices, some really great themes, and more... To say that A2SD is the only benefit is rather insulting to our faithful Devs...

Heck... My main reason to root was to leave behind the look of the stock N1. It's a great device and all, but the UI certainly looks better w/ a lil' NexTheme 1.9 action.

Oh yeah... And Rooting lets you show off your phone via SS's. That's always quite enjoyable imo.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
What exactly will you see as a "point".. honestly trackball colors, and Desire ROMs are enough to convince me to root. Along with unlocking the extra RAM.. and then other benefits that are included with root access. Such as themes, overclocking, and what not, there already seems to be enough reasons to become a superuser.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negroplasty:
Just root it already, unless it's above you tech level; then don't. My nexus is a beast running Cyanogen's latest mod, you may be skeptical about claims that the phone can perform snappier, but it's all true and after experiencing the light I will and can never go back to a stock rom. Not to mention the added functionality, trackball colors and frequent new updates and modifications. You know what to do ;) .
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TailsNeon556:
Do it....... Dooooooo ittttttttt!!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJackson9995:
Good call! Forgot all about the Trackball... Can't use Desire due to fail Bluetooth in the car... But I'm happy enough on Stock Launcher w/ CM5041. Extra RAM as well..

People who don't root, seriously don't know what they're missing. And it'll only get better.

And heck... What's the negative? Oh no?!!? Warranty issues. I'll take the extra fun n games for that risk.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chowlala:
Hehe. I already rooted like 10 mins after asking this question. But everyone who rooted is right.

There's so much more monsterifficness beneath the stock. Almost as if Google already knew how extreme it would be and deliberately tempted us to root by setting it below maximum potential.

Can't wait to see what the Nexus can continue to do with awesome the awesome modders here!! =)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongalong:
I'm waiting for the next OTA update before I start playing around with root and ROMS. Customization looks fun but I want to see what performance increases Google can bring after updating to the new kernel for full RAM (hopefully they do this next update anyway). Probably won't be any different than what's out now, but the only thing that I'd really want is HTC music and Modaco's mod is still in the alpha stages.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
Rooting is definately a good move, but it is not for everyone, i would suggest against people egging others on to root. Rather, direct them to the available information on the benefits and dangers of rooting, and let them decide.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grainysand:
Uh... most custom ROMs now run on .32 or .33 kernels. As in, more RAM. Loooots of RAM. (I have about 191 MB free on a fresh boot, etc.) Paul's Desire ROM is only still in alpha because bluetooth doesn't quite work, but otherwise it's very functional and pretty well-optimized.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongalong:
I know that current custom ROMs already have a big performance boost (RAM) from the current stock. I believe that ROMs also have .apks that are optimized and probably a bit zippier than unmodified ones. I only meant that if the next OTA with the new kernel gives enough of a performance boost, then custom ROMs won't be for me (until much later in the game anyway).

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to develop a panic button feature to add to my C# app that will help alzheimers patients

I'd like users to be able to simply click a button to enable the panic state, but to hold it down for 3 seconds to deactivate it

I've got the simple click working, but how do you get it to work out how long it is being held for?

Thanks everyone!

James
[Windows Mobile Software Development] heliosdev:
You'll need a MouseDown and MouseUp event to act on the user input. The Button class doesn't have these. Use for example a PictureBox.

Using a Timer (can be added to the form in designer mode) set it's Interval property to 3000ms and add a tick event. The timer will be enabled on MouseDown and disabled on MouseUp and if the Timer's Tick event is raisded you know that the user has pressed it for 3 seconds.

P.S.:If that works you can make your own control with MouseDown/MouseUp events and do your drawing by overriding Paint().

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chiks19018:
[begin rant]

I am so tired of specs right now because the more you know the more you sink in to the mud-hole. Give me something that I can "touch", "see" & "feel" as better.

Eg.

My current 2 of 3 phones:

1. iphone 3g has 412Mhz processor.

2. Pure has 528Mhz processor

3. iphone 3g has 2 Megapixel camera

4. Pure has 5 Megapixel camera

But does it run faster or take better pictures? NO

For picture quality comparison of the 3g vs pure, See here

Note: my 3rd phone is the iphone 3GS.

So F*k the specs.

[end of rant]
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gogol:
Hei, easy tiger :)

Why do you rant about Pure vs iPhone here? Take it somewhere else ...j/k.

You are right, at the end, it is not the hardware spec, but "user experience".

That is (user experience) what Microsoft currently is trying to bring with their new product, WP7S.

You know, it is a "new" product. It does not even exist yet (purchaseable).

Still a lot of questions unanswered (which you will have some more clues after MIX10).

So, take it easy :)

Btw, about "that actually works" ... that's really depend on the user, the person who use the device.

Some users want to have full access to the device, OS, hardware, hack this, hack that, fully-super-duper-multitasking, bunch of sensors.

Some users just want to use the phone as it is ... enough with web browser, play youtube, facebook, twitter and email.

Some users just want to use the phone ... you know, for calling someone else :)

Like my wife, she is using Touch Dual. Why? Because she hates touch phone! Yupe, she hates iPhone, and all "latest" Windows Mobile devices.

She likes to use the phone for ... calling me and her friends, playing Solitaire (that's all) and occasionally using the TomTom 6 for navigation.

My other friend bought HTC Touch Diamond 2 and she does not have any clue. She "asked" why I have to re-charge the battery every afternoon?

I looked into her phone and I saw bunch of apps running in the background: Contact, Fring, ActiveSync, SMS ...

I told her, you must close those! She again asked "Why? Cant they close them self automatically?"

I said "Sometimes, no" ... and I could not continue. I told her husband to put custom ROM ... bla bla (of course they cant do it!).

For my wife, the HTC Touch Dual "does works", big time.

For my friend, the HTC Touch Diamond 2 "does not work" (They are now thinking to switch to iPhone).

Although HTC Touch Dual is way less spec wise!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] seed_al:
Since I had a Touch HD and done lots of comparison shots to the iPhone 3G, I am sure the Pure's camera is actually quite a bit better.

The Pure is certainly not faster, though, and definitely less fluid. The MHz count of the Pure's processor is misleading, as it is really quite slow. Plus, Windows Mobile doesn't have nice animations and fluid physics - it has ugly screen redrawing (though it's actually not slower than iPhone OS, but a lot less fluid).

Anyway,

specs do matter. The problem is, you never get to know all the specs. The MHz and Mpixel numbers simply aren't ebough to say whether a processor is fast or a camera chip is good.

There are lots of other factors involved. But they won't tell you the "performace per clock" numbers or the "light sensitivity" and size of the camera sensor.

So, it's not that specs don't matter, it's just that you don't get to know the numbers that actually do matter. What can you do? Well, I know it's hard, but you actually have to inform yourself as much as you can, so that reading spec sheets will give you the knowledge you need before buying a device.

And you have to try for yourself. And I know it's hard, often you don't get the possibility to try a handset without buying it, and reviews usually don't give enough information, especially if you care about "small features" that usually don't get talked about in reviews.

So, keep cool ;)

Specs can be misleading, but only because regular people don't look behind the raw numbers and have no clue about what really counts. But that doesn't mean phone makers should take away the spec sheets... some users do know what really counts, and spec sheets help them a lot to make their desicion.

Actually, they're helpful more often than not, e.g. I know Snapdragon, Cortex and ARMv7 mean "faaaast". Regular people may not know that, but it won't hurt them to read "Snapdragon" on the spec sheet either. Because in the end, they'll always have to try the phones for themselves (or at least try to get enough info from reviews).

How do you think companies can give you something to "touch", "see" & "feel"? Free try&buy devices? Not going to happen. Spec sheets give at least some hints, since there's no better alternative. And if you do your homework, they will be quite helpful ;)

Calm down... nothing to rant about here :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chiks19018:
Thanks for the warm note my friend.....

I am a spec guy myself, but I feel as if I was cheated/scammed this time, partly because I am not a mobile device person, and definitely was not aware of this crazy MSM and ARM differences. Now I know....ha ha

Now as far as the camera goes, I know quite a bit as I am in it for a few years now, enough to say that megapixels are just the tip of the iceberg. Higher megapixel within the same sensor family is better, but then there are chips that provide better pictures at the same or less megapixels. i.e. CMOS vs. CCD . On top of that, there is the lens and the processing engine to add on to it.

The camera software in the Pure is not very good. I will tell you that. It takes quite some time for it to find the right white balance under room lighted conditions. The iphone is pretty good/better at that.
