[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iconoclasm:
I have installed Terracrosser on my TD2 and its working very fine.

You have touch input and keyboard also works when coordinates are put in.

you open menus when holding long on coordinate area (left) and other menue on the measure area (right)

you scroll when slide over screen (this works better with stylus)

but everything is working without a problem.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] libove:
Thank you Iconoclasm. I see these two long-hold points do raise menus. (I note that, if I accidentally hide the keyboard, there is no way to get it back until I kill the Terracrosser app and re-start it).

I cannot figure out how to zoom in? Except for the view X2, but that's not really zooming in. How do you zoom in?

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iconoclasm:
That hide keyboard thing happend to me too. Just be carefull about it.

You can zoom in by tapping shortly on the measure.

Zoom out is somehow (sometimes its not working properly) above or on the coordinates. (Also short tap)

Youre welcome.

Hm, ok, I can get it to zoom _out_ from the default 500km view up to 2000km ... but I can only get it to zoom back in to 500km... ?!

tnx...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iconoclasm:
Have you made a map that is more than 500km?

How to make maps for Terracrosser?

Oh. Ha! Um, where are the instructions for this thing??

I didn't even realize that I had to make maps! Now I do see that there is a maps\ folder under the Terracrosser program files directory.

How do I make maps for Terracrosser?

Is there a source of maps available online?

Sorry for being such an ignorant idiot here...

Thanks!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iconoclasm:
In the file you've downloaded should have been a file named mapper.exe

start it on your PC and you can create maps using goolge earth or yahoo maps.

Making maps is pretty easy. program is really self explaining.

When program is finished you have a *.map file in the directory, copy that into your map folder on the TD2 and that was it.

I reccomend to save a poi with the coodinates of the middle of the map (they are showen in mapper.exe program.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] libove:
How to get Terracrosser to open a different .map file?

Okay, I've made a few sample .map files.

I've copied them to the Terracrosser install directory map\ subfolder.

How do I get Terracrosser to actually use one of those maps instead of the default one?

(Isn't there written instructions for Terracrosser somewhere??)

Thanks!

You can also try GPSVP, which is my long time favorite for offline google maps. GPSVP is available on google code (http://code.google.com/p/gpsvp/). Apart from Google Maps, it also supports Google Maps Satellite, MS Live Maps, OpenStreetMaps, and Garmin maps. It's free too, and is actively maintained.

It has a Windows Mobile version, as well as a Windows XP version. Very handy. Try it!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriszzz:
It's been a long time since I last used it, but if i remember correctly, there is no configuration required to make it use your maps. Terracrosser should automatically combine all maps into 1. You should just zoom out, scroll your map around until you see the region that is covered by your new map, and zoom in. The only problem is that, if your custom map is small, it is very hard to actually zoom into it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LarryLauLive:
After spending 2 days on it (and no manual found), I think I have pretty much figured it out.

Version: Terracrosser 2.2.1

OS: Stock WM6.5

Platform: HTC Touch HD2

Requirements: MS .Net CF v3.5

Installation:

Install .Net CF 3.5 first

Download Zip file. Copy the CAB file to mobile device and install from there. That's it.

Confirm the program is running properly: The icon should show a red "TR", and it should start with a world map.

Controls:

Scroll: swipe in that direction. (Yup: swipe up to scroll up - takes a while to get used to it)

Tap: switches between the photo mode & map mode.

Zoom in: tap lower right portion of screen. There should be a map scale there.

Zoom out: tap lower left portion of screen. The GPS coordinates should be there.

Menus: Tap & hold lower left for POI menu, Tap and hold lower right for another menu. Tap "<<" to exit menu

Getting maps

Copy the Mapper.exe from the zip to your desktop

Run it from the desktop; define a new folder to store your maps. Give it a new name.

You will need to create and download different maps for different zoom levels. If you try to download the maps for, say, New York from the overview of Manhattan Island down to level 16 to see the street names, you cannot zoom in from the world map zoom level 5 because the manhattan map will be a tiny dot, invisible at that zoom level. That's why many people wonder how to "turn on" the downloaded maps. Terracrosser will allow you to zoom in deper than level 5 when the blue dot at the centre of the screen is over a map area you downloaded. So you may want to create a map for USA, then create another map for Eastern USA, etc at progressively deeper zoom levels. When copied over, (and the "Display Map Borders" is checked), you will see a rectangle around the map for the next zoom level.

When done, copy all the *.map to the [mobile device]\Program Files\Terracrosser\Maps\

There is no need to copy the folder containing the actual downloaded pictures - the *.map file is the compressd version already.

Adding POIs took a while - clicking the top "OK" button at the coordinates screen does nothing. You need to press "Enter" key to proceed. I thought the program hanged.

Any extra info for sharing will be great!

Terracrosser was my first "favorite" GPS app, but since it's been discontinued, I found NaviComputer and have been very pleased with it. check it out. It just received an update (6/30/10 - 0.94)

http://www.navicomputer.com

[ed1]

One really nice feature it has is the ability to download maps directly to the device. Map sources are stored in XML so additional sources (like Live/Bing) can be added if you know the url. There are a few floating around out there.

Plus... development is also tracked on xda-dev, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581474

I'd just like to set the controls straight as the controls noted here is not entirely accurate.

Basically the display is divided into quadrants where you can control the application.

Scrolling:

Horizontal: Swipe accross the lower half of the screen.

Scroll to the right: Swipe from lower-left to lower right

Scroll to the left: Swipe from lower-right to lower-left

Vertical: Swipe vertically acrross the right half of the screen

Scroll upwards: Swipe from lower-right to top-right

Scroll downwards: Swipe from top-right to lower right.

Note: Swiping across the top half or the left half of the screen won't do anything.

To stop scrolling: Tap on screen while scrolling.

Zooming in: Tap on lower-right quadrant

Zooming Out: Tap on lower-left quadrant

Switch map views from map to satellite: tap on top-right quadrant

Toggle between rotating and static map (north is up): tap on top-left quadrant

Switch from scrolling to GPS mode: long-press top-right quadrant

POI and goto coordinate menu: long-press lower-left quadrant

Display settings menu: long-press lower-right quadrant.

Note: Nothing happens when you long-press top-left quadrant.

Hi,

Is there an application that allows your phone to always stay in 2G mode, and only switch to 3G/3.5G mode if the following conditions are met:

an application needs a data connection (even if you have to make a list of applications that are allowed to use 3G/3.5G this is acceptable)

3G/3.5G is available

I've come across apps like GProfile, CommManagerPro and Bandswitch, but I'm not sure that they can do this.

Please help :)

many thanks,

Hi all,

quick question please: when i tap on the globe in my internet tab, i get web&walk opera launching (i have a t-mobile UK HD2). is there any way to change that so that i get skyfire instead? i've set skyfire to be my default browser but didnt work.

thanks
[HD2 General] m0j0j0j0123:
Go into Skyfire, then settings, then set as default browser, similar to desktop PC's really, then the globe will launch that.
[HD2 General] sgiannis:
thanks, but have already done that and it doesnt work.. I still get the web'n'walk opera launching (after soft-resetting)..
[HD2 General] m0j0j0j0123:
Have you tried setting Opera as not your default browser?

Settings>Advanced>Set Opera as default browser
[HD2 General] sgiannis:
yeah, it's unchecked as soon as you set Skyfire as your default browser.. i wonder whether this has got anything to do with that stupid web&walk software that comes with T-mobile phones...
[HD2 General] m0j0j0j0123:
Hmmm, maybe other Tmobile users can confirm, the globe in the web page works to whatever broswer I set with my o2 branded hd2.
[HD2 General] sgiannis:
that makes sense.. with my t-mobile phone, everytime i want to use the browser, i get this popup 'do you want to go online?' and then the web&walk logo comes on, followed by opera no matter which browser you've set as default..

has anyone found a solution with this?

You're good..! it did work :) thanks a lot..

if anyone's got similar problems, just follow the link above, change your registry setting and you no longer get the web'n'walk browser launching, but rather whichever browser you've set as default..

right..! should go and do some work now...

ok I have a HTC Hero locked to Orange (UK) and wondering what the must have apps and widgets are, what I can do to improve it etc. If you guys could share your vast knowledge that would be great.

Also please bear in mind I am fairly techy least people tell me but sometimes looking at others threads here I get lost quite easily.

Cheers

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Woah,... Where on earth to begin?......

1st question to ask yourself,... Are you happy to keep it Orange branded?.... Or do you want to install a custom ROM?.... Bear in mind, some ROMS have little tweaks added for better performance and stability, some are experimental, and have bugs that that need a little ironing out, but you could swap and change as many times as you want to test and find one best for you.

BUT BE WARNED,... Changing your ROM will in theory invalidate your warranty,... but you can always flash back to an Orange ROM should you need to send it for repair.

So its up to you?... This is the guide I followed to install a custom ROM,... Check it out,.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=645253

Second,... I'd update the radio to the latest one,... The radio is something to do with how well network, wifi, gps etc work,... I updated mine and saw a big difference in network reception.

,..... Now we can start talking about apps,... All I can do here is give my recommendations,....

Apps

TuneWiki - Can show lyrics for music on your phone or even whilst streaming LastFM.

Spareparts - Extra 'settings' options not available as standard. i.e... Transition animations, Font size, Haptic feedback. Also shows Battery & App statistics.

Shazam - No explanation needed.

Opera Mini - " ".

Movies (by Flixter) - Local movie show times + cinema and DVD reviews (?).

Co-Pilot Live - Satnav.

Astro - File manager.

ACV aka Droid Comic Viewer - Self explanatory.

Audio Manager - To set volume levels for Alarm, Media Player, Alerts, Ringer, System and Calls,.. All in one easy place,... Can then add as a widget to one of your homescreens.

Games

WaveBlazer - Was addicted to this on my 5800, couldn't resist getting it again.

Armagedon Squadron - As above

MotoXMania - I think this is from iPhone, get the moto x'er from one side of course to the other by tilting phone to control biker's weight distribution.

SpeedForge 3d - 3d racing game with mines and rockets set in future, quite difficult (for me) but still fun.

Tetris - Classic!!

Solitaire - Always fun.

PapaStack - Puzzle game, have to stack up all given blocks and make them stand for 10seconds before moving on to the next level.

ThrottleCopter - Based on old flash game "copter". Click button to control throttle on helicopter to get it though the course. The most addictive game so far.

Replica Island - Fun platform game.

EDIT,... Found another even more addictive game now,...

Sketch Online - Online Pictionary,... I cant stop playing it, Minimum an hour every day!

Hope some of that helps pal.

Peace.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Not a radio like FM radio,... I think radio refers to anything that sends or transmits,. i.e The WiFi, GPS, actual network connection. So updating the 'radio' will make those better, and sometimes may increase battery life as well.

[HD2 General] ronron_s:
Memory usage

I do also have problems with "out of memory" errors.

I have tried to do an analyze of my HD2 with MemMaid to figure out where all the memory is used up in my device.

First of all, I have moved all cashes to the memory card and cleaned up the cashes in the phone memory, as been described well in other threads.

I have about 35 applications installed and most of them on the memory card.

This is what I have found out:

Device memory:

337Mb available , 151Mb used , 185MB free (45% used)

Device storage:

180Mb available , 164Mb used , 16Mb free (91% used)

Storage card:

16Gb available , 8Gb used , 8Gb free (50% used)

Looking at directories to see where most files are stored, windows is by far the biggest folder in my device.

The windows directory is 442Mb (!)

where 10470 files makes a total of 420Mb and other folders like programs are 22Mb.

- This is where I suspect I do have a problem, is it really normal that windows folder do have so many files? For example, there are 3017 _manila files, there are also over 3000 bmp,gif,png files.

- I have a thought that I might have inherrited a lot of files from my old TyTnII when I started up the new HD2 and synchronized it via "Microsoft My Phone".

How does it look for other HD2 users with the memory usage?

Regards
[HD2 General] negawolf:
Did you save your picture on device memory? How many song did u put on device memory (ringtone for example)?

I already often have a "out of memory" while trying to turn on my camera.

Launch it, it will clean your ram (different profiles are available) and then the camera will start up.

[HD2 General] mknewman:
I'm pretty sure this message is caused by one of three things:

1. Windows Mobile (even 6.5) still has a 32 process limit

2. Some older programs possibly including the camera software may not be aware of more than 32 or 64gb of memory, so even though there is tons left it can't use it.

3. There is also a cache of memory used by drivers.
