[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gerhardvr:
Loved G-Profile but killed my battery

I used to use G-Profile for a looong time on my HD2 and loved it. It's user interface is great. It also worked without a hitch and I had a number of profiles, some quite complex.

Then I became fed up with the battery life of my phone. I typically had to charge it every day after about 8 hours moderate use. I traced the issue to G-Profile that prevents the phone from going into standby mode.

I've switched to PhoneWeaver. It's interface is a lot like G-Profile only lacking one feature that I really miss. When manually selecting a profile in G-Profile you can select how long you want that profile to be active before it should switch back automatically to the auto profile. PhoneWeaver can't do this with the result that sometime I forget to change back to the auto profile.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] woaloo:
Same problem here,

I had to leave G-Profile due to battery consumption.

I went to Phone Alarm. Great app. A very important thing for me , was the name of the profile instead of the operator name. And GProfile and Phone Alarm are the two only one that can do that...

Hi there,

I had the idea this morning that I could set up scenes for differing amounts of battery use.

So I could have a work scene (mobile net on), a home scene (wifi), an out scene (gps on), and a bed scene (all off, low brightness, no updates, silent mode).

However, I don't think scenes save these sorts of settings.

Do they?

Any way of doing this, apps or watev?

Regards,

niklz
[Desire General] killyouridols:
Locale will do this based on location. Thats all I can think of off the top of my head.

Its in the Market to download.
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
no, scenes does not save that information.

the scene consists of the Homescreens, widgets and wallpapers. that is it.

+1 for locale though, well worth the price.
[Desire General] niklz:
I knew about locale, which encourages me to believe another app may exist that allows you to do it manually.

I think it would be really useful for me at least, specially as it doesn't require GPS being on consistently.

Anyone else know about, or would want this app?
[Desire General] mrdo:
i would really like a profiles app that could change a scene as i'm having to do both seperately at the moment ...
[Desire General] niklz:
There are a few in the market place, most for ~$3.

Anyone tried any? To find them search for settings.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Black.Heart:
Hey guys, as you may heard, an SDK is released for developers to add to their applications which allows user to do multi-touch things on a device which is equipped with a resistive touch screen, just like our Topazes. Well, it makes us able to do pinch and zoom, rotate to exit and such things. WHAT WE NEED is great application developers to add this SDK to applications just like Manila. Your co-work will be pleased. Here's the link to the thread:

[SDK] Dual-Touch SDK for Resistive Screens V1.0 Beta + Rotation Alpha + Demo App

Regards. :cool:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Black.Heart:
NO ONE??!

Oh, you mean no one is interested??! I got disappointed! It would be a great work to enable multi touch in manila 2.5 for resistive screens... :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ServError:
you cant pinch and zoom a resistive screen, it just thinks you're single touching in between your fingers, try it. This isn't about waiting for a dev kit, it's just beyond the capacity (lol capacitive) of a resistive screen.

edit - I know what SDK you're talking about, and I don't see it being accurate, sorry.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Wiggums:
Likewise, I cannot imagine it being possible. It is simply physically incapable of that and may use algorithm instead which may give inaccurate reading.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Black.Heart:
Then watch this:

Watch SDK Demo Application Video

It's simple: It simulates multi touch. When you point with finger #1 and then after point finger #2, device holds the first point and drags a line from that point to where finger #2 is. And then after releasing finger #2 it returns to finger #1's point. You can see it through notes or manila slider. That's how this SDK came out. It simulates this lining thing and makes device think you are doing multi touch. That's how you can Pinch and Zoom or Rotate to Exit like capacitive screen. But I agree. Since device can't recognize tow different points at the same time (like you said it's technically impossible for a resistive screen) we can't hope for a complete multi touch functioning. But at least we can do those two things I mentioned above. :cool:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] msyang20:
i find multi-touch useless...its just a 'fancier' way to do things but really its easier the conventional way on ur/my phone. ei: the zoom bar on my htc pure.

i saw the lock video demo but its just faster and easier to lock ur phone the way everyone usually does it rather than having to put both of ur fingers onto the screen and rotating it. i guess this would really depend on wat kind of program the mutli-touch craze would really be of a benefit to. as for the programs thats been developed with multi-touch so far, i dont see much of a use for it. but thanks for making it possible for others to develop more programs with multi-touch.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomanlam:
i tried that long time ago and i found that it still "WORKS" if i slide my finger from 1 corner to the opposite corner. Like the above, i dun think it's practical to use this so called MULTITOUCH kit on a NOT-MULTITOUCH-SUPPORTING resistive screen.:D

if ppl are so fond of multitouch, they should buy a hd2 instead of trying to implement such a not-too-possible feature on the td2;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Black.Heart:
That is true... But at least we can satisfy our selves that we are multi touching!! :) It's better than nothing! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bsw11:
Tell HTC to give ATT an HD2 and then you might have a point.

Question - why can't this software be put into the OS so that it just works with all apps doing it like keyboardcontrol is doing - intercept the mouse taps and then based on the application translate the multi-touches into exactly what that application needs - even repeated keystrokes etc - manila could be programmed by page or just one set for the whole app - whatever can work. That would be the killer way to get this into play asap.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Black.Heart:
That's why I asked developers to co-operate with me. This would be a big job if it's done, we can hope for WP7S... Check out the video our friend sent on post #10. :eek:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mrhayami:
Not sure why they are so negative about it, it has been done and proven even as a beta, and from the sdk that was released it seems very likely. I'm not a super cool programmer but I was working on a Mass Effect Codex and I'll try working the multitouch into it if possible, no guarantees tho :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ServError:
It's all great and well to claim that there is no jitter etc on a "standard" resistive touchscreen, but that's a tech demo, it proves nothing for us having these kinds of results, EVEN if that is their goal.

also, watch the video you posted, the guy says it CANNOT be adapted to current touchscreens, it's an additional specification that they implement by working with major screen makers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Black.Heart:
Thank you for your co-working. I'm a programmer too (C++ language) and I can help. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] lordsinasina:
although multitouch is a great feature , but guys , we have a cool zoombar , that using it is a lot easier than using the screen.:D

Hey

I wonder if there is any good bluetooth manager around. I would be nice to have direct shortcuts to activate certian bluetooth connections. For example a button to use my mobile as Modem for my laptop. I always have to go through the whole process. Enable bluetooth, choose the device, choose the service and then choose the connection I want to use.

I wonder if there is an app around to simplify this process. I do it x times every day...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] teemo:
Not an answer, but an alternative.

If your laptop has wifi, just use a WiFi-Router.

Anyone got any experience with these?

I was looking at one of the 'no install' ones that clips to your sun visor and plays mp3s via your car stereo through radio sort of like the iTrips do.

[HD2 General] Hyweljh:
Hi everyone,

My phone has been flashed with 2 different roms in the last 48 hours; the reason for this is the lock screen keeps locking me out!

I try something new each time this happens because I spend hours or even days modifying it to my taste!

Can someone please explain why it keeps locking me out :mad: and also how to prevent it! and before someone says "Don’t have a passcode" then that is simply not an option!

Also if someone knows a way around this so I can simply change the passcode without having to hard reset then please tells me! this would have been the second time in 48 hours Iv lost data and this has happened about 6 times since I have had the phone from November

Cheers,
[HD2 General] Baker0:
Does it say incorrect pin? or just hangs?
[HD2 General] Hyweljh:
incorrect pin! and its the right pin!

and then if I soft reset and try and enter it then it says incorrect pin but if I then type something else in it hangs!
[HD2 General] Baker0:
Ive had the same problem with the stock rom. I use Artemis HD2 v9.0 in the rom section. Hes bringing out V10 tomorrow might be worth putting that on. Ive not had that problem since.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
seen that reported a lot in conjunction with swype 3.9 on non tmous phones
[HD2 General] Hyweljh:
Havn't got swype and never had it, I read its a bug with 6.5 and 6.5.3 fixes it but I dont like 6.5.3 so im in a catch 22 situation.

Im assuming you guys didnt find away around it or hear from anyone who had then?
[HD2 General] karlpj:
I don't know if this is related but my phone keeps frezzing in the lock screen. It happens twice each day and I need to remove the battery to get my phone working again. I have tried several roms and several radios and it happens before to place any extra program (done hard reset etc)

It was not happening with the stock rom. I guess that perhaps it is a problem of the HSPL2? I don't see anything else that has a common link.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
well, I used to have a pin lock on my ipaq, now with this hd2 I've become fearless, and have no phone/sim pin enabled at all.

Anyway, as far as I know the PIN lock on the hd2 has been reported way too often to be defective, as in it "forgets" the code, so after N unlocks, you'll have a device that will never recognize your -correct- pin, requiring a hard reset.
[HD2 General] Hyweljh:
so could it be something in the registry?

I know its a long shot but registry normally has control for things like expiry and load counts
[HD2 General] Hyweljh:
I think I have gathered more information about this problem and I have created a separate thread describing what the problem may be, please go here to understand what im on about.

More info: Phone is going into a read only like state!
[HD2 General] Stray Biker:
I have had this too a few times. I had to remove the battery to have it fixed, because the phone didn't switch off.
[HD2 General] qazax:
Just in case anyone is reading this that could help, i am trying to get a cab that will revert the HD2 back to the stock windows mobile unlock screen for the pin input. the HTC one seems to have a few issues, and i prefer the stock windows one.

If WM lock bringing much trouble, try http://pocketshield.net which is easier to manage and has even more usefull features.

I had this problem and it may be for a completely different reason. I was uninstalling apps i don't use and I uninstalled Google talk.

[XPERIA X10 General] tiggerbcn:
After the last news that they say that in May probably there should promise to be Android 2.2 (Froyo): what do you think that it will do SonyEricsson? Will it update 2.1 (eclair) or to 2.2 (Froyo)?

I think that if it updates Eclair(2.1) it will be an error because Froyo has many progress

Rgds
[XPERIA X10 General] giddorah:
SE will not update to a system that is not available during the updateprocess... :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Astral07:
who says it's unavailable? to you and me, maybe :)
[XPERIA X10 General] giddorah:
Yes well.. It's still undergoing production and isn't done. :P
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
I bet that the update will be to 2.1: they have started the work on 1.6 and they have released the phone with 1.6 even if 2.1 was already available for months. SE will probably never update to 2.2.
[XPERIA X10 General] Astral07:
i don't know...i wouldn't be so sure of it

even tho Froyo is "undergoing production" that doesn't mean that they can't be working together with google or whoever's developing it and test it on the way it's being done

if that weren't possible than that would mean that first we'd have to wait for Froyo to come out and then NO phone in general would have it for months until the phones are adjusted, that to me doesn't make sense

it's like saying windows 8 is awailable but none of you can install it on your system until we've adjusted it

if you get my point...
[XPERIA X10 General] tiggerbcn:
That already, it is logical, but SE has said that it will update 2.1 in September, that's why he was asking about it because it is supposed that in September Froyo 2.2 will have already gone out
[XPERIA X10 General] ShadowFlare:
X10 will be a constantly the 'last version' phone. We're stuck with 1.6 when 2.1 is out in the wild, and we will be stuck with 2.1 when all other phones have 2.2.
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
SE's comments regarding upgrades were all part of the below article: can you please tell me where in there Harold de Kort (Communications Manager at Sony Ericsson) states that the X10 will be upgraded specifically to Android 2.1, or where he mentions "September" as a release date?

Major update for Xperia X10 after Summer

In the final paragraph the writer even states specifically that SE hasn't stated which version of the Android SE will be going to with the X10:

The info you are referencing comes from a post on Engadget from late last week which was unsubstantiated rumor from a "trusted" but un-named source who was wrong on in regards to his claim that 2.1 would bring multi-touch to the X10. I wouldn't put any stock in the rest of his claims.
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
This is not necessarily a bad thing. This means that we will always have a stable and well known platform. If SE would apply the policy to always updated the phone to the second last version, it would be great. But my fear is that, as usual with SE, we will not get too many updates, maybe only one major update and then a minor bug fixing update. Then the phone will be "abandonware"... like the Xperia X1.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
perhaps not so much a problem with the X10 - being Android based it will be easier for them to upgrade the base OS.. unless they have a complete change of direction with their own overlay... (which wouldn't surprise me!)
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
Come on, it was not so difficult to upgrade the X1 from Windows Mobile 6.1 to 6.5, and all the buyers would have been happy. This way, SE has just collected a lot of unhappy or angry customers. Moreover, this has been always the habit of SE: abandon the development of their phone after the release and leave the customers with bugs and issues. I really hope they've changed they strategy.
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
To my understanding, most WinMo 6.1 devices weren't upgraded to WinMo 6.5. My iPAQ 910c certainly wasn't.
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
I'm not confident that the x10 itself will receive an update at all. This is my 3rd Android device and my first SE device.

As a result of all the nonsense surrounding MT and colour support I've lost faith in SE already.

I think there xperia line will have upgraded OS's, but I don't know about the X10.

I've never had this much trouble with HTC devices (but I guess that has been down to this forum).
[XPERIA X10 General] cvchetan:
well htc too have been mischievous in releasing updates fr their fones.. hd was never upgraded to 6.5... there r no promises tht hd2 will get win 7.. atleast se has promised a 2.X update..

btw this is my first se device nd i am quite impresses... i used lots of htc devices and was hpy wid dem..
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
You are right. However, it is not a good way to keep customers. And SE has already a constantly decrease in market share, and I think that the only way to reverse that trend is to build the reputation of a very high customer satisfaction. For smarphones, this means frequent and effective software updates.
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
Fair enough.

I just think that if they can take so long, to release their flagship handset in first place, and taking their supposed track record into account. Should we really expect 2.1 at least anytime soon?

After taking all those extra months to get the device ready for consumers, they release a device with a substandard input method, slow camera speed and poor in call volume.

Their famed customizations also have issues. Timescape is slow and on occasion I have to press keys several times for the system to register my input (mediascape).

We should be worrying about stability and and performance updates on 1.6 before we consider 2x.

This phone has so much potential but it still seems like a prototype to me.
[XPERIA X10 General] afhstingray:
yea it desperately needs an update. having said that, even though its running 1.6, it DOES have the latest kernel dosent it?

i'm hoping the fact that it comes with a 2 year warranty instead of the 1 year all other phones come with is an indication that we'll get reasonable updates past a year.

also- SE was the first to acknowledge the existance of 2.2, remember? when some guy mentioned the x10 will get 2.x
[XPERIA X10 General] sidneylopsides:
A Sony Ericsson rep confirmed to me that it will be a 2.x update in Sept.

She also said that their reasoning behind 1.6 was to ensure network compatibility so it could be sold across all networks, but I'm not sure if that makes much sense.
[XPERIA X10 General] imugur:
I am pretty sure that the gyus here at XDA will do something for us if SE will not give the right version in time. I had 6.5 on X1 for more than 9 months without any SE involement :p
