For a hearing impaired person like myself, a speech to "text without network" has become a real search. I have been trying to find out how large a system one would need to install the kind of programs like iMac Dictate, or naturally Speaking 11 on a device like an iPad or equivalent device.

At home, I have a CapTel800i, which displays text for speech, but needs to be connected to the Internet and phone line. I need something to carry around with me to be able to communicate away from networks, WiFi, etc.

It should be possible to have a dedicated device with Dictate installed to do the conversion locally!?!?

Please help me, my boot show error:
[Click General] TheSSJ:
Do you have custom recovery? if yes, boot in recovery and access the phone via adb shell and check disk space with df. you will see the percentage of how much disk space is in use. if it is system, try to delete the boot sounds and some ringtones. if its data, delete the contents of /data/local/tmp (i suppose there are many apks there which aren't in use at all).

Hope this helps

[Desire General] Ozindar:
I'm experiencing the problem that after I download mp3's or photos by ftp or lan, that these are not registered in the music player or photos application. Also moving around my photo's doesn't update the photo albums.

I'm looking for a way to trigger the rescan of the SD card, similar to the process that happens after turning the phone on where you can see the photo app refreshing the images.

1) Is there a way to manually trigger this scan? A function somewhere, a widget or even a pointer to an android java call will do?

2) Is there a way to soft remount the SD card as in without pulling off the backcover as a workaround. I know you can unmount it in the phone storage settings, but can't see a way to remount it.
[Desire General] daern:
Also interested, but for the "Music" app. Copied in a load of MP3s last night, but they don't appear.
[Desire General] arewold:
Get SDrescan from the Market :)
[Desire General] daern:
Here's an odd one. If you receive a text message that is MT, the "sender" can be text rather than a number. Obviously, you can't reply to it (hence "mobile terminate"), but they're used quite often by companies (like ourselves) for notifications.

Weirdly, when I get such a message, the Desire's SMS app matches the sender to a seemingly random user on my phone (in my case, it's my wife's contact), so that all of the messages appear to have come from her. It's very odd.

Has anyone else experienced this?

[Desire General] dolon:
please read previous threads! its a bug and reported to HTC
[Desire General] gumbald:
It's your Facebook friends with stupid entries in their mobile number fields. As above, there's a thread about it somewhere...
[Desire General] daern:
This isn't a Facebook issue...I've never used it ;)
[Desire General] daern:
Ah, but it does seem to be something to do with contact linking...

Guess the fix is on HTC's side then.

[Desire General] TheOriginalKi:
The same thing happened to me and I was able to fix it:

I managed to sort it out. I took off facebook contact syncing, removed my facebook accounts from facebook and friendstream, rebooted, readded the facebook accounts leaving contact syncing off and this solved it. I'd rather not have my facebook contacts showing in my phonebook any way...

Just out of curiosity, did you guys hard reset your phone, and use the built in backup tool?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhourj:
I'm using a chinese mod rom from Hiapk.com before on my G1. (can be accessed from here, please use google translate or any translation software to get the chinese into english or your own language).

I've using it for months and later I want to try some of the nice roms found on xda. I've tried several. and flashed them under RA-recovery-1.62. Every time I reboot, the first screen is still the old one from the chinese rom. Althought it seems didn't affect the rom to work well, but still seems wired. I just want to know why a flash can't change that screen? I suppose each rom has it's own boot screen and the splash (animation) screen afterwards. Or in some roms there is no first screen?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kusotare:
no roms that i've ever seen contain a boot screen. only the animation that comes up second. if you want to change the boot screen, theres a nice tutorial in the themes/wallpapers forum on how to do it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhourj:
I see. thanks.

but it's still strange. when I first bought the phone, the boot screen it's different. It became like the corrent one only after I flashed the hiapk rom. Then it never changed.

now I feel maybe that rom changed it? or maybe it's the old recovery I've used changed it for me?

[HD2 General] Reignzone:
So, lately...

I've been a little curious as to whether or NOT other members of the community are anything like myself; in a sense that sometimes you may install an application, primarily a system utility when you ALREADY have one, if not several on your device.

I sometimes find myself almost looking for reasons to remove some of the utilities, but then I have some kind of "innermonologue" experience, thus convincing myself that I should keep them, because they may eventually become useful.

Here's a list of utilities I currently have installed:

SK Tools

Memory Maid

Resco File Explorer

Total Commander

Pocket Mechanic

Pocket Defragment Kit

Now, my question is... would you, YES YOU... consider this to be "overkill" or relatively reasonable, considering each application serves a purpose?
[HD2 General] kj5me:
Overkill

I find it similar to having a set of sockets in my tool box with 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" ratchet handles and 3 different sizes of pliers. :)
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
HAHA I was thinking and about to say the exact same thing!

Yes, especially with the nature of WM (good and bad), I'd much rather have more tools and therefore accessiblity options...just like on my desktop pc.

Unless any utilities have 100% overlapping functionality, I'll install whatever ones have or likely will come in handy at some point. For me, I think it's just a combination of always being proud of when I have the right tool handy for any circumstance, and annoyed as hell when I don't.

I think it's a direct corollary to the same instinct that causes me to keep my "manpurse" backpack stocked with everything from bandaids to duct tape to sharpie marker to umbrella to charging cables to spare (backup) wired headphones to.... you get the idea :D

EDIT: most of the utility apps we use are relatively small as well, and especially on the HD2 there's plenty of room for as many as you want really
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
Well, I certainly feel "less neurotic."

I suppose only Texas guys have the questions and the answers. :cool:

Anyway, yeah... I just didn't know if others out there, even with our 1GB ROM, felt as if they were overdoing it when it came to system utilities on their device.
[HD2 General] speoples20:
I dont think its overkill. Im a little ocd when it comes to things like task killing and such. I run clean ram like 4 or 5 times a day even when my phone is running fine. As long as they all serve a purpose.
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
Yeah, I hear that...

I use Memory Maid and my RAM Defragment utilities pretty often.

Most folks don't realize that Memory Maid includes TONS and TONS of system features, very much like Resco does... and I suppose SK Tools fits in that category as well.

I clear my temporary cache files and all the junk every 4-5 hours. And I run the RAM Defragment process typically once or twice per soft reset.

I suppose as long as I know that I have the BEST possible system utilities on my device, then I'm never worried about keeping my phone neat n' tidy.
[HD2 General] me:
Since it seems that some of you are running SK Tools on the HD2, I would like to ask if there is a hack to get it to work on the device?

I installed SK Tools to my new HD2 today. Latest stock T-Mo ROM of HD2, and latest version of SK Tools. SK tools has both QVGA and VGA versions available for download. The HD2 is neither of those, but close to VGA, so I used that one.

It installed fine. However, when I tried to run it, only error messages, I could not get the app to run, finally uninstalled it.

How did you get SK Tools to run on the HD2?
[HD2 General] ryan562:
lol i had the same list of apps as the OP but realized the paid version of SKtools was all I really needed.

Sent from Samsung Vibrant using XDA App
[HD2 General] me:
I agree with the last poster, that SK Tools is probably the best of these apps.

As i wrote though, I cannot get it to work on the HD2. It installed fine, but does not run.

Any hints on getting it to work? Does it need to be installed into main memory on the HD2, not the storage card?
[HD2 General] donkeypunch85:
Why dont you just try it. Cant hurt. Only takes 10 seconds...
[HD2 General] me:
Of course I could "just try it". That really needs no saying.

However, since I had a problem when I tried running it before, I am asking if others have had such a problem with it, and how they resolved it?

That is what these forums are for!
[HD2 General] ryan562:
i'm not sure why you can't get it to run. mines is installed on my sd card. i'm using a class 6 8gb. what version are you trying to run?

i'm using the paid version 4.5.1.4 win mobile version for wvga phones. there's a new version out but i haven't updated to it nor tried it out yet.
[HD2 General] me:
My SK Tools is also paid for, and I think version 4.5.1.4. as well, which I think is the newest version, or at least was as of a couple days ago.

I did not see a specific WVGA version on the SK Tools site. I saw a QVGA version, and a VGA version, which I think is also for WVGA. Of course, I downloaded and installed the latter.
[HD2 General] echardcore:
who needs 2 or more file explorers? who needs more then one wifi utility? pick the one that does as much as possible and is reliable and finger friendly. i even stopped using RAM cleaner.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Even chuck norris uses 2 fists ;)
[HD2 General] atlaswing:
I didn't see anyone mention my 2 other heavy hitters:

1. fdcsoft task manager v3.1

2. schaps advanced config v3.3

I use fdcsoft task manager's RegEdit component all the time, not as fast as TotalCommander, but it's way faster than sktools. Besides, a full registry export with RegEdit takes only 4megs, so I do it all the time before any program install, compared to sktools 80megs just for the registry(not counting the 300meg full backup), which is near impossible to search when i need to retrace my steps. The fdcsoft's ".reg" export is just like that from totalcommander, and could be read with any text editor.

A big problem I have is that schaps advanced config, which i find useful sometimes, can conflict and overlap sktools and bsbtweaks, which i rarely use. None of these 3 have a "Before" snapshot, so barely opening and closing one of them can save some of their preconfigured settings, and I won't know what changed until i come across a tweak which i'm sure i changed, but was reset by one of them, and I'll have to set it again. Anyone bothered by this?

btw, i don't have resco.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Ian_4614:
Anyone help ????

I have set my Hero Email app so that when I get and email, it informs me, and I can open, and read it, This is when I set the pop and smtp settings. But I also get another notification icon, which only lets me read the email, not reply to it, so I get two notifications.....

I only want the one from the email app, pop account, how do I cancel the other notification ????

Thanks all

Ian
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
That's a notification from the Gmail app.

It seems to me that either you're picking up your Gmail via POP in the Email app, or you use something other than Gmail for your email, but have set up a Gmail account which is also picking up your email via POP.

In either case, if you want to switch of notifications from Gmail, go into the Gmail app and then "Menu"->"Settings" and untick "Email Notifications" which will switch of the Gmail notification.

Regards,

Dave

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] bull8042:
Hey Ian, I don't mean to hijack your thread, but my question is applicable here.

I am using the Gmail notification widget from the Market. When I get an email, the widget reflects the number of unread items. So, I no longer have a need for the notification in the taskbar. Problem is, there seems to be no way to disable the taskbar notification without disabling the sound and vibrate as well! (where is my "banging head against the wall" smilie?)

Anyone know how to resolve this. Handcent is the same way. Disable the taskbar notification and you lose your sound notification as well.

Hi all,

I have some sort of problem with the GPS. Last Saturday it suddenly wouldn't get a fix at all. I tried taking the battery out and rebooting and still no joy. Then suddenly on Monday it started working again. I was on a flight on Wednesday and it worked on the flight too. About 2 hours later, I was on a train and again, no joy but put it down to maybe some strange coating on the glass. However, I tried again yesterday while out in my car and not a dickybird.

It sounds like a loose connection in the phone or something like this. Does anyone have any photos of where the GPS unit is or how to dis-assemble it to check the firmness of the connection ? Or is there any program that I can load on my TP2 to check what the GPS is actually doing ?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] palah:
Having the same sort of issue with GPS on WM6.5... HTC are (well should be) working on but they have so far sent a gps test cab in the last month... which was useless... like you it will work great one minute then 'acquiring satellites' for ages... unless you have dropped and damaged radio would put the tools away for the moment as looks like software related (how WM6.5 manages GPS lock) that is the problem
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] championc:
I've never had a problem before and i've used it both at home and abroad. I'd use it a couple of times every week.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ultramag69:
People have said upgrading the radio helped or used the GPS hotfix from HTC... Did this myself recently and must admit it seemed to fix the problem...

I'm running Energy ROM 23557 Sense 2.5 Maxmanilla.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] palah:
Thought the GPS hotfix on HTC site was for 6.1... so it works on 6.5 as well?...was going to flash the lastest europe 6.5 (with sense 2.5) it has a later radio but have read messaging is slow for some people, as waiting for HTC to fix on Telstra 6.5 is painful
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
When you say you can't get a lock, is this in just one particular app, or have you tried multiple GPS-enabled apps? You may need to determine if the device actually isn't seeing any sats, or if your app just isn't playing nice with the com port anymore.

THIS LINK is for Chartcross' GPS Test (free), it can at least tell you if your hardware is getting a lock independent of any nav apps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] championc:
Excellent - exactly what I was looking for. I'll test the Chartcross software on the way home tonight.

C
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] championc:
OK, I've got a Yellow circle and it says "GPS Starting up" so obviously doesn't even start to pull down data

Any ideas on what I can do ? Could there be a loose connection somewhere inside the phone ?

C
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Did you see it scan through the com ports when it started up? The next thing I would check is the settings (settings-all settings-system-external GPS) and see what it says on the "programs" and "access" tabs

The GPS hardware is a chip that's soldered to the motherboard, so I doubt that's come "loose"...the only other hardware connection that comes into play is the one to whatever antenna the GPS utilizes, but I honestly don't know if uses the same one as the phone/data, or if the chip itself is just a fully integrated receiver
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] championc:
It scanned through the ports and identified it as COM4 and set the speed to 9600. I assume the circle should go green even if the antenna was weak but would be going through the motions of acquiring data.

C
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
If it was seeing any sats, there would be bars in the screen, like the screenshot on their site...so yes it def looks like the phone isn't locking at all. Just to be sure, is your QuickGPS data up to date?

I'd say the next step to try before trying to crack your case open would be to follow ultramag's suggestion and flash to a different radio...some users report drastic improvements in GPS performance after taking that step
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Demonic240:
How long did you wait? I've noticed that it can take up to 10-15 minutes before it'll lock all of them in and turn green. Are the bars moving at all?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] championc:
Was running over 30 mins and stayed yellow. Bars never budged. I've had the same radio for the past 6 months at least so can't see why it would suddenly become a problem now.

Looks like my only option might be to open it up and check the connections. Everyone drops their phones now and again and I'm no different so there's every possibility of something having come loose.

Has anyone got a photo of the inside so I know what I'm looking for ? Where is the GPS ?

C
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ms0529:
com 4 is correct as is 9600 baud. Likely the issue is with the radio you are using. T Mobile radios seem quite touchy. Try a new radio and see what you get. Start gps test first, get the gps running and locked before opening any program that needs gps to work and you likely will have better performance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] palah:
mine was working fine and like you was doubting my hardware... seems strange as my issues started with a software update ...some telcos (Telstra in AU) software conflicts with GPS... I installed a HTC rom from Europe yesterday and GPS is now working great... even now locks while car is in garage.. the HTC Desire just released in AU is also having GPS issues on Telstra 6.5 rom ... so have you tried a rom update? as sounds like may be your issue as well...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] championc:
I'm running Deepshining Rom X6. I had the previous v12RC running since it was released with no problems. I had radio 4.49.25.17 running all the time but just decided to up this to 4.49.25.77 but still no change. It still says "GPS Starting Up". I must have some sort of loose connection since it wouldn't work last Saturday or Sunday but then worked fine on Monday and Wednesday. However, it hasn't worked again since last Wednesday.
