Or maybe it would be a better description : locator after theft.

Now I hear you all thinking.. utfs.. I know and I did..

So here is a description of why I want this program and how it should work.

Why

Recently my motorbike has been stolen. At the place where I live I don't have the possibility to stall it indoors,

so it has to stand near the wall of my apartment building.

Of course the cops don't bother and the bike is of to be never seen again.

Now for my next bike I don't want the same to happen again.

So I thought of installing my old Touch Diamond into the new bike, attached to a car power converter directly onto the main battery of the bike

(and if there is space a backup battery). Of course the Diamond would be fitted with a prepaid sim with enough credit.

How

would I like to use the program. (With this info I think it's more understandable then when I tell you what functions I'd like it to have.)

When I get home on my bike I would park and lock it. After this I would send the build in Diamond a message like : "Arm" So the alarm kicks in.

From this moment of the device will :

- Watch its GSensor for movement

- Start to determine its GPS position (if not already done)

- And tart to determine it's location based on cell tower information (for in case the device does not get any GPS signals)

When nothing happens this day or night I will disarm the alarm with a "disarm" message when I want to leave with the bike the next day.

As soon as the device is armed and moved (GSensor) for more then, lets say, 20 seconds (to minimize false alarms).

The device should SMS me that there is movement and start to send me it's location.

Every minute for the first 10 minutes or something and after that only when I send it a message like "location"

Also off course the device should make no noise. Unless maybe a short (not too loud) beep when armed and double beep when disarmed.

And maybe when receiving a message "Alarm" the device would make a lot of noise so I can find it when I'm near to the last known location.

While we're at it the device might also watch for sim card changes and sms me if a new sim is inserted.

And (optional) maybe the program could be cooked into a clean and stable rom so even a hard reset would not mind it at all.

I hope I covered all the basic elements I'm looking for.

If someone know's a program like this or could write it for me this would be awesome. If it is working good and stable I would like to pay some money for it too.

As you've probably seen on my writing :D If the program is in Dutch it would be awesome. If it is in English however it would still be awesome.

Finally it would be nice if some options could be set through sms (optional) (since the device will be bad accessible) and that I would be able to set some tags myself.

If you have any questions or any additions.. Please feel free to mention them.

With kind regards,

Richard Zondervan

I don't know if this will cover all your needs, as it's based around the phone getting stolen or lost, not something that the phone is attached to, but it may suit...

If not, how about something made specifically for the task?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ®ichard:
Thanks for your input. Although the first option does't seem to cover all the needs, and the second seems not to work in the Netherlands.

Anyone (Dutch) care to make a Hyves application like on the iPhone or on this site? http://www.hyves.nl/mobiel/java

This would be an awesome app that has not yet been developed for HD2. Anyone with the skills and of course who speaks Dutch up for the task? I think you'll get a Lot of credit on here for this one!! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jamieeeee:
yeah that would be really nice! there is a Java app that works but it sucks ass.

you can get it by going to the site and it says you have an unsupported phone. click on something like select a different phone if you dont have the HD2, and select there the HTC Touch HD.

but it's slow like hell and i would be far more happy with some sort of hyves tab (like the facebook tab like this)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Rushedby:
I agree! A Hyves tab would be really amazing! I'm even considering a donation for the one who will make us a Hyves tab!

25 maart, hadden ze dit nog geplaatst

We hebben helaas geen toegang tot de API gekregen van Hyves

Opgeven doen we niet, contact wordt vervolgt...

Maar ik denk dat het einde verhaal is.. hoe zit het met de X10 hyves intergratie dan? kan dat niet deels gebruikt worden?

Goed nieuws, we krijgen toch toegang tot de hyves API ! Nu nog de tijd vinden om de app af te maken :-s | hmm, dan maar niet op vakantie..

Van mij kunnen ze een donatie verwachten als het klaar is

alvast bedankt!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ThaSySman:
Zal wel erg leuk zijn inderdaad. Ben heel erg benieuwd want ik mis het stiekem toch wel een beetje hoor....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Finezt:
ik hoop dat als ze een hyves app maken dat je dan contacten kan toevoegen en alle updates kan ontvangen bij je contactpersonen als jullie snappen wat ik bedoel

Mischien dat een van jullie op XDA dan nog een eventuele TAB kunnen maken ookal is de app mischien pas in de verre toekomst

ik wou dat de Hyves app in de plaats van de Facebook intergratie kon gaan

en blijkbaar heeft de developer van Mobilelayers ook een HTC LEO

dus ik hoop ook dat hij op een bepaalde hoogte aan zichzelf denkt en probeert zo veel mogelijk functies die je van facebook heb te overnemen met hyves

dat zijn ook de meeste suggesties dat word genoemd op de Forum van mobilelayers

( ook de mijne als je er goed tussen kijkt )

Echt Top hoop het snel te zien!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] wouternet:
wat ik ook heel graag zou willen zien is dat je alle profielfoto's kan ophalen en aan je telefooncontacten kan koppelen, zoals ik nu al kan met Facebook en SPB Mobile Shell(kan je FB aan je adresboek koppelen! superrhandig, alleen heb ik veel meer mensen op me hyves pagina die in me telefoonboek staan)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reaper:
Ik wist niet dat mobilelayers er mee bezig was, maar ik heb een hyves applicatie gemaakt. Het leek me een leuk projectje namelijk. Als je hem wilt uitproberen kan dat hier: http://www.undefine.nl

@Finezt: Sranan mang, fawaka!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jamieeeee:
ziet er ook zeker erg leuk uit!

ik hoop ook op iets met facebook achtige intergratie, maar ben bang dat dat er haast zeker niet zal komen.. simpelweg omdat het teveel werk is..

edit: na je applicatie even bekeken te hebben moet ik zeggen dat het erg goed werkt. zou alleen handig zijn als de plaatjes van de personen meteen geladen werden. nu moet ik er eerst op klikken (krabbel bijvoorbeeld), op cancel drukken en dan komt de profielfoto erbij te staan.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bramgg:
Dit is zeker een goede vervanging van de browser! Weinig bugs, maar de tekst is wel in het engels ipv nederlands.. Voor de rest ziet het er mooi uit.

Great app! :D

Hi M8,

Wow, what a great app. Finally someone has come with a great solution to use Hyves on a WM device :)...thanks alot.

I am using version 2.0 now. Do you appreciate to get some questions about userfunctions that are not build in right now, but could be usefull to have?

Like to help if you want!!

Heb een Hyves app gevonden. Werkt prima op de HTC HD2. Jammergenoeg niet alle functies beschikbaar, maar beter iets dan niet. Ik kan niet linken naar externe sites, dus ik zal zeggen kijk ff op de NL site van UNDEFINE. In het kolommetje onder main menu zie je een link naar de WinMo Hyves APP. Is trouwens een nederlandstalige app.

[Networking] erpelkapper:
Hello,

I have a HTC Touch Diamond 2 for a while now, but I still have problems connecting encrypted to Wi-fi networks. My Wi-fi network is encrypted by simple WEP-encryption. My phone is able to connect to the network (seems), but I can't get any data over that network.

I have tried other Wi-fi equipment and that all works fine. Connecting the phone to a Wi-fi network with another access point (encrypted) is also failing.

For now I can just connect to unecrypted networks.

I'm running WM6.5 (5.2.2.21887), Radio version 4.49.25.91.

The phone is not branded (never been).

Does anyone know a solution to this?
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
Hi everyone.

When I get an email containing Polish characters on my HD2 it will show gibberish in the form of strange symbols where the characters were supposed to be.

Is it possible to fix this? I suspect it's either a coding issue or the font on the thing is wrong. BTW, when I open the email (by tapping on the message), then the characters are OK; it's only on the preview screen where it's wrong.
[HD2 General] WolfCodex:
The question still stands.

I'm experiencing same problems with letters written in Russian.

There are no problems with encoding until I open the letter (before that the letter preview is readable in Manila), but after I open it for the first time - it's no longer readable. It's still written with Russian characters (cyrillic), but letter size is reversed (capital ones become small and small ones turn capital) and they are all mixed up.

I'm using kwbr ROM v3.14 (2010.08.08), but I've been having this issue with all other ROM versions that I've tried as well.

Anyone has any idea what is the case and how to solve it?

Thank you in advance.
[HD2 General] WolfCodex:
BUMP

Anyone?
[HD2 General] p107r0:
could it be an issue of Win/ISO character encoding?

I have no way to check it now, but mails sent from Outlook (therefore using Windows standard for diacritical characters) look ok on my Leo
[HD2 General] WolfCodex:
p107r0, yeah, it appears you are right - it does make a difference using what program/to what e-mail account the message was sent.

Now there's only one thing I still don't understand - why do "problematic letters" show normally in Manila until i first open them?
[HD2 General] p107r0:
my guess only - maybe manilla tab uses fixed 1250 encoding, while mail client can detect and display the used one (just like on PC)

Any idea how to fix this?

is it possible to get the COD Zombies game on the iphone onto a hd2 ? or do they do it for windows mobile at all ?

No, and no. There's plenty of other games, if that's your thing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Jammie_1989:
I asked this question and got flammed lol people just dont understand only response I got was buy an iphone. But why buy and iphone when I could just buy in on my Xbox for 1/10 of the price lol hopefully somebody will figure out how to port iphone games it can't be impossibly :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
It's not "impossibly" ;), no, but it would run really badly. To emulate something you need a LOT more processing power (imagine 10x the power of the iPhone may just about do it). You can't run things from 1 OS on another as they come from completely different architectures, both software and hardware.

The reason you'd get flamed for wanting iPhone stuff on a WM phone is because it basically shows how little you know about the subject matter (not meaning to be rude - just being straight with you).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Firething:
hehe,,, well... ... if u want iphone games get an iphone,,, seriously.... in my oppinion iphone is a piece of crap, and yes this is only MY oppinion, other people are entitled to their own.... been way too much hustle about iphone games and porting and bla bla bla... ...

just let the iphone/leo idea die already... .. takes up too much time and space..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bowserb:
Just installed the updated Bing app. New features include GPS directions including spoken navigation. No charge. No money to AT&T, no app to buy. And it works. Here's the caution.

If you use the Windows Media Player for music or other media, the next time you ask the program to update the library, it will find all 60+ spoken phrases added by Bing for navigation, to your music library.

Hopefully this is a bug that will be fixed in the next version, but for now my music library is full of registry-looking items that play things like "exit", "road name changes to", "merge into traffic", "immediately", and so on. Not much entertainment value here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Yes, that happens a lot, where WMP or the Sense music player index non-music audio files. The best solution I've seen is to find the folder those odd files are in, and use Total Commander or something similar to mark the folders as hidden...they can still be accessed by the app that uses them, but the files shouldn't be indexed by the music player anymore.
[HD2 General] twist1298:
:confused: Last night my wifi started acting funny, I thought a soft reset would do the trick but no luck, So then I reset my router & motem still no change I even checked to make sure the phone had my router's IP and it does.

If any one else has had these issues and can help it would be greatly appreciated
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
There's a good chance you can get a hand with that, but it will help to know exactly what "started acting funny" means. Does it keep dropping the connection? Does it never connect anymore in the first place?
[HD2 General] DECIM8:
What is "acting funny"? Specific and clear information is needed to help with problems like this.

EDIT: sirphunkee beat me to the punch.
[HD2 General] twist1298:
Sorry about that

I misspoke Due to frustration... My wifi stopped working it would show i was connected to my router but i couldn't get online, those things i did in my previous statement were things i did and went over to attempt 2 fix the issue.

Any help would be appreciated thanks...:)
[HD2 General] toreone:
The same thing happened to me...It was when I installed the HTC Wifi Sharing Cab. It worked great when I need to connect my laptop to my phone for tethering. Since then I was not able to get me wifi to connect to any wifi connection at all. I uninstalled the HTC Wifi sharing and presto. I was able to connect again! :cool: I am not sure if this is your situation but this happened to me and that is what fixed my problem.
[Hero CDMA General] Dan330:
hi all,

I wanted to confirm a few things...

I am rooted and running DC 2.08 with a2sd

in settings > about phone > system updates

what can I update?? There are 4 choices to update. I dont want to create issues on my phone.

Can I update these?

1. Firmware update .. yes or no?

2. Update Profile... i think i can update this.

3. Update PRL... I know i can update this

4. HTC software update... i am guessing NO on this.

Next, i am still on the stock Radio for Hero/cdma/sprint/usa/texas

baseband version: 1.04.01.09.21

PRI version: 1.70_003

Kernel version: 2.6.29-d30020a8

Should I update my radio??? i have been very very hesitant to do this because of past issues with CDMA/Radio. Currently i really dont have any issues. Just low signals. I want to see if it can improve my signal and data connections and battery life.

thanks
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
You can update all 4. HTC will tell you there's no updates available. I'm assuming that's an app that will be useful at a future date. Updating profile/prl is no big deal. Update firmware will upgrade your ROM if firmware exists. I'd avoid that one. I used it on my wife's hero for the 1.56 update, but the 2.1 updates will be OTW, not OTA anyhow.
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
Updating a radio has risks, but I've done it. There are several out there, and flipz is the man when it comes to that. Here is a how-to and he also has links to about four different radios, including the original in case you want to go back:

[HD2 General] dicksonjoe:
So, I have the original leo version of hd2 and the sms lag has been bothering me since the first day i got my phone in march. I text about 1200 text a month and you have no idea how annoying the sms lag is. So I'm just wondering if there is any sms lag in the T mobile version? Lag such as when you are typing your sms, it takes forever for the history to load and then you would have to tap it again to input your text.

Please let me know, if there isn't any lag at all I will flash my hd2 and put in the T mobile version of manila.

THANKS
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yeah, it exists for a lot of owners of the T-mo version as well. I think the cause in your case (as in many others) is the number of texts you have on the phone. Here's a post I put up about that same thing just last night:

[HD2 General] otter5:
If you go into menu, options and make the messages standard, not threaded this might help. It worked for me. Also, I custom flashed a rom on my device because the stock was running terribly for me
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
:D yes, definitely try this too dicksonjoe, it worked for others besides him as well, and may clear it up before going through clearing your sms. Try what he said first, then what I said if that didn't work ;)

I'm interested to hear if it helps you first to turn off the threading, easier solutions are better solutions!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] corwin42:
Hello,

since WM6.5.3 the standard Controls like Buttons, Comboboxes, TabControls, Checkboxes etc. have a new Style with gradient Backgrounds and sometimes rounded edges.

If you develop programs with the .NET CF you will get the boring old style. Is there any way to enable the new style for .NET applications?

The only thing I found was this "hack" for the TabControl:

mobileworld.appamundi.com/blogs/peterfoot/archive/2009/09/17/windows-mobile-6-5-tab-control.aspx

(sorry, seems that I'm not allowed to post outside links)

I searched a lot for this but even the documentation from Microsoft gives no hint how to do this.

There is also a new control in many system control panels which replaces the TabControl (the navigation thing at top of the form for example in sounds and notification settings). Is there any chance to use this control in my own programs?

It is really annoying that Microsoft has developed a new themeable style for their controls and nobody can use it :(

Thanks a lot

Markus
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ren13B:
You can but it requires overriding the controls paint events and imo is not worth the hassle. If you want fancy looking controls then you would be better off with 3rd party controls. There's several options out there and some are free. Read about some at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=616838

If you want to work with the native controls and spruce them up a bit check out http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/uiframework for some guidance.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] corwin42:
thanks for your answer but I don't want to create custom controls or use some 3rd party controls. I want to use the standard controls but with the WM6.5.x style.

Microsoft is really stupid. They were on a good way with 6.5.x. The user interface of the standard apps is mostly consistent and finger friendly. But they forget 3rd party developers now completely. I want to be able to create apps with the system look and feel but it seems that it is not possible. So my own applications have always an inconsistent look when I use standard controls. I always get the old style but when I open a messagebox then I get buttons in the new style.

Microsoft, this is really crap!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ren13B:
You'll have to wait for Windows Phone 7 if you want perfect consistency. Microsoft isn't going to update the controls for 6.5.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kosherpig:
Hey there!

Today I did some research into controls, and I found out how to enable 6.5.3 style for buttons and checkboxes. You have to:

edit2: for dialogs - open .rc file in a text editor, and find your dialog, then after a line beggining with STYLE add a line with following contents:

EXSTYLE 0x1800000

Compile it and run. You should get 6.5.3 look and feel on existing controls without changing them!

Or if you want to create controls in runtime (works good for buttons, checkboxes/radio buttons look ugly):

1) call SHInitExtraControls()

2) when creating a button/checkbox use class TTBUTTON and make sure its style is combined with 0x8000

3) Use 'em like normal buttons.

Now it's time for listboxes & others...

edit2: To mimic 6.5.3 listbox behavior you have to set item height to 64 (or 32 for (W)QVGA), for example in this way:

SendDlgItemMessage(hwndDlg, IDC_COMBO1, CB_SETITEMHEIGHT, -1, 64);
SendDlgItemMessage(hwndDlg, IDC_COMBO1, CB_SETITEMHEIGHT, 0, 64);

To expand list views, use a empty image list with a proper image height (64 or 32), for example:

HIMAGELIST il;
il = ImageList_Create(1, 64, ILC_COLOR, 0, 1);
SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST1, LVM_SETIMAGELIST, LVSIL_SMALL, (LPARAM) il);

edit: Oops, forgot you want it in .NET. Quick investigation lead me to a sad fact: .NET controls have the wrong window class. But if .NET dialogs are stored in resources there is hope. So I would be grateful if someone post here a compiled .NET application which would show a dialog with a button linked to some simple action. I might try to modify it for 6.5.3 style.
