Looking forward to it and no problem :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Well, just finnished correcting some bugs on the fly. They were kinda obvious ones. Mem leak is corrected, although you might notice some slow downs. Mem management is still due to be optimized but you shouldnt experience Out of Memory exceptions anymore.

Aditionally you can now exit and reenter the game. At least as far as i can tell. If you get a Direct3D exception you will prolly have to reboot the device to run again. But this should not appear.

Oh, and you can now say where you'd you like to play the game. This is still a bit buggy but i will improve it soon. This is in the settings part. Also you can now especify the level of zoom in the map ;).

Some bugs regarding the positioning of the player in the map are expected (especially when using the "Customized location" option... ) but they will be looked at ^^.

I'm now uploading the new version, and will update the first post.

Kudos everybody!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
There, updated the first post. Also took the liberty of correcting the links. The game should be more stable now, although i expect quite a few bugs when using custom game location setting and moving around the map. Also, please give some feedback regarding the GPS positioning precision on different zoom levels.

Next iteration i will try to improve the tower placement procedure, and a few other things.

Finishing thesis

Sorry for being this absent for so long guys. Anyways, i'm now in the process of finishing up my thesis. Hopefully even during this week, I will be able to produce a new version of the game with added features. Stay tuned!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
Looking forward :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Well, sorry for the lack of news, but the new version is up. It should be a little bit more stable (hopefully). I am considering ditching the Direct3D API and going for Opengl ES. Well, anyways, here are the changes:

- You can now play the game without using the GPS module (you just need to un check the "General moves" option, and fill in the address bar with a valid google maps address)

- Now allows for drag and drop towers. You tap what tower you want to add and then tap and drag around to place it accuratly.

For the future version (hopefully comming in a few days) i was considering:

- Abitily to use neither the GPS nor Data connections! Playing an already downloaded map (for starters this will only allow you to play your latest game. In the future i'm thinking about giving players the ability of playing any played game again).

- Reworked in game graphics. Lets face it, the graphism isn't bad. It just plainly sucks. Will aim for a more coherent design...

- DirectX made menus. Yeah, the .net menus get the job done but they do fell very '90ish. A background image and some custom drawn controls would look nice, don't ya think ^^.

Well, the latest is available in the first post. As always, provide feedback fellas ^^. Kudos from me!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Well guys, seems like i'm on a streak. A newer version is out. It is similar to the previous one with a few visual tweaks:

- All images were kind "Cartoonified" now. Looks cool, i'm thinking of doing something like that to the google map image. Whaddya think?

- Also, as sugested, the buttons now contain a previews of the tower's price as well as a miniature preview of them.

The next major version will have all the menus reworked hopefully. After that, (which will take me a lot of time definetly, since i have to create the textures and alter the game itself) i will consider going to OpenGL ES. It should only require me to change the renderer part of my engine (since OpenGL doesnt use sprites, but planes with textures) as well as the picking procedures for integrating the tapping on the screen with the game logic ( Direct3D does this smoothly, OpenGL requires me to use a projection for doing so -_-'. An orthographic one should do the trick ). Will keep u guys updated, and keep those suggestions commin ^^.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
thank you i have been tryin to find a game like this . the g1 has a similar game but with zombies chasing u round the streets i think.

tryin it now . and well done .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
It does? Would you know the name of that game? It would be important for my research. And maybe i could copycat some of its features ^^.

Glad you like the concept. The game is still buggy and there is also a lot of work ahead. Suggestions are more than welcome. Oh, and if you want, u can mess around the Textures folders and change some stuff. Make them bigger, smaller or change them altogether. Game mechanics should adapt accordingly ^^.

Kudos, and expecting anxiously your feedback!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
I'll find out my mate has it. sounds pretty much the same sort of concept.

only problem is a can't extract the cab from the zip . any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Oh sorry, forgot to mention. Haven't complete the cab project -_-'. Just unzip and place the contents wherever you'd like. It works in any folder anywhere. Sorry about that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
can't unzip it. saying it might be curupt

edit .. tryed to unzip via pocket rar and is sayin no file to unzip .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Weird. No problems on my end. Just downloaded from http://feupload.fe.up.pt/get/bBLS4QIrwzz0gRW and unziped it correctly. Used 7-zip. Care to try again mate?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
all sorted now just unzipped it on pc .

but i cant past the main menu screen . just keeps freezing my phone
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Are you playing the game at home? If you are the game is trying to find a valid GPS position, and it is unable to find one. Either go outside or near a window. Or, if you'd rather, uncheck the "General Moves" option at the settings and insert in the text area a valid Google Maps Address (I dunno, "Porto, Portugal" is the one i usually use xD, but you can use any really). Hope this helps mate
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
sorted, let u know how it goes . :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
I'll be waiting for your feedback mate ^^.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
zombie run is the game on the g1.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Hm, just did a YouTube search for it. It does certainly seem quite similar. The panning of the map would be a nice feat to add to my game. What do you think? What would you suggest i should include in the game? More towers? Upgrade possibilities? I'm a bit clueless at the moment...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Well, i finally lost it, went insane and am now trying to port the engine from 2D to 3D. Not an easy task, since the code is managed the only option is to use Direct3D mobile -_-'. The performance isn't astonishing so far, and there are still some stuffs missing:

- Ray tracing the touch screen events (so as to determine what was the object the player tapped on)

- Loading *.x files (shouldnt be too hard, there are samples of this around the interwebs)

- Collision detection (this is most definetly going to hurt. Maybe i can still do them 2D style, but who knows)

And that's about it. I will continue the development, and will keep you guys updated.

Kudos
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Okay, i am now capable of drawing some primitives. Aditionally i mapped camera controls to the accelerometer. Why yes, it is quite awesome.

However the rest of the stuff is due to take a while. Perhaps in the next couple of days i'll have something worth showing. Kudos!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Just added the app to your marketplace mate. Hope it helps us both ^^
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Hm, guess i didnt finnish uploading. For two reasons:

- It doesnt recognize my JPEG image as being of the correct file format (big Image, 480*800)

- It doesn't recognize my .Zip file.

What am I doing wrong mate?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Guys, the port to 3D is going quite well. In fact, i even hope to have something playable very soon enough (i'd say about this weekend). Just going to finish the .OBJ file parser (for loading 3D models made in 3Dmax ^^). After that just going to do boundingbox collisions. After that i'll release a teaser video ;)

Kudos to all, and thanks for being patient ^^
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] EndoSurf:
This concept sounds awesome.

Love tower defence games. Will give it a go once the 3d version is ready for a try :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Hope you like it ^^.

Good news guys, just completed the OBJ file importer. What does this mean? Basically i can import 3D models created in 3Ds max (for example). It also means that you guys can also replace my models by any model that you would like ^^. (yes, as simple as that)...

I think that tomorrow or the day after i'll have a nice vid for you guys ;).

Oh, the bad thing about OBJ file format is that it doesnt allow for animations of the 3D models. Only basic transformations will be applied, such as translations, scaling and rotations of the 3D objects. It should suffice for now. Maybe i'll create an exporter for another file format in the future. Meanwhile, will now get to work on the other stuff
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Sneak Peak :D

Here is a little sneak peak of the current WIP. Only tanks and world map has been done (collisions and picking are what remains).

Still a bit to go, but as can be seen, materials, textures and lighting is quite rite ^^
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
Thats sick, that zombies run application is the exact same concept as a gameidea me and a couple of other dudes pitched to a gamepitching contest.... we just called our game "leg it" but i was actually thinking about calling it "zombie run" :O weird coincidence, here i though we had something new...

Anyways its nice to see the progress you are doing and i am looking forward to try out the next version :) and if you feel like it, it would be awesome to make the above idea for winmo :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Well, it keeps getting harder and harder to inovate. Truth is i never even had heard about zombie run prior to it being mentioned here in this thread. The idea is cool though, and after i get a good stable version of geo wars 3D i might use my framework to create a winmo version of zombie run ^^.

I'm still in the process of creating some of the unit's models (just finishing up a b2 stealth bomber model for the game). This will probably take a while. After finishing the models, i'll just have to create collisions (still haven't decided between sphere or box boundings) and picking (to place towers in the map). But it won't take long till I release a beta version of the game ^^.

Hope to hear your feedbacks by then. Kudos!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Ok, just got bombers up and running (and their logic) as well as tanks. I will now add soldiers, boats and the towers. Hopefully, that should be enough for an early beta release. Hope you like the bomber model:

Yes, a nice b-2 stealth bomber ^^.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Good news guys, got everything nearly done. Expect a release soon. Again, this is only a proof of concept, sou expect a low frame rate, and somewhat unpolished graphics. Even so, i promise an unique experience to each and everyone of you ^^
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Well, early beta for the 3D version is out. Get it, and feedback please. Oh, be aware that there are still some issues. Will be improving this version instead of the 2D one (unless someone asks for a bug fix for the 2D specifically).

Hope to hear from u guys.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Good news! Made some drastic improvs on the 3D version's framerate. Game is much more fluid. Will attempt to correct some more issues, and i'll have a new version in this week ^^

Hey everyone. Question. Now that Froyo 2.2 is coming out (ejem...) and the release notes talk about push services and also push intent. Does that mean we're going to get some push services? I'm currently waiting for my HTC Desire, but I've had other HTC devices with Android, and keeping (for example) Google Talk on would DRAIN my battery like mad.

This would also make twitter and FB a lot more pleasant. Push could be used throughout the OS and it would be wonderful, but is this going to be a reality now with Android OS 2.2???

Anyone have a link or tip on how I can get this installed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsun21:
I was messing around with the settings and I went into settings, wireless & network settings, mobile networks, network operators, and I registered with a network (Bell) and now I can't get any service. The "Use only 2G networks" checkbox is always checked and when I dial *#*#4636#*#*, it shows I'm using GSM preferred networking.

What can I do?

My carrier is Bell Canada btw.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Back in the testing app, change GSM Preferred to WCDMA Preferred or GSM Auto (PRL)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsun21:
Tried that, it changes itself back and i still can't connect.

Should note that when I try to register on Bell, it just says "your sim card does not allow you to register on this network"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrawnPoBoy:
As you may or may not know, Bell does not have a 2G network. So if "Use only 2G networks" is checked, you wont get any service. Are you saying that you cannot uncheck this? I think it's usually best to let the phone select which network to use automatically instead of telling it to specifically use Bell.

If none of this is working, then it might just be an issue with Bells network that will resolve itself eventually.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsun21:
Yeah, I'm aware Bell has no 2G network, but when I go to uncheck the box, it'll recheck itself in a few seconds.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrawnPoBoy:
Strange... all I can guess is that Bell is having network issues. If you can call them from a different phone they might be able to confirm that. You couldn't have broken your phone by playing around with those settings.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsun21:
Yeah you were right, there was something wrong with bell's network. It's all good now.

I'm hoping some bright spark will know if it's possible to protect my 32gb memory card on a desire as i have a lot of sensitive information on it for my business and wouldn't want anyone able to look at it should i lose the phone?

i have obviously got all the phone codes and stuff on it but worried that anyone could remove the micro sd card and view my personal info.

Any help would be appreciated as i have gone through the forums and can't find anything other than people begging to find ways to remove protection.

PLease help.

Many thanks.........
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mesajoejoe:
So far I like this phone alot. However my biggest complaint is this:

When you go to messages and click on someone to go send a text and you start typing on the hard keyboard only to look at screen and nothing is there. Why does it not automatically select the box so that you just start typing and go. I do not want to physically tap that box every time I want to start texting. My G1 does it, why doesnt this?

Am I the only one?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
Mine automatically goes to the text box after selecting one contact. If I click the To box to add another recipient, it stays in the To box once a contact is selected. This is exactly how my G1 did it. Check the Input Method you're using... I'm finding many strange things based on which keyboard I have selected, regardless whether I am using the hardware keyboard or not. I currently am on Touch Input, and it is working the way you want it to right now.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mesajoejoe:
When im creating a new message to a new contact then yes after selecting a contact it switches to the compose box. I am referring to conversations I already have currently. When Im in messages I have like 4 threads/conversations... with phone horizontal and slide open ready to type with hardware keyboard... I click on my gf's name/thread. When its done loading it i have to manually tap the compose box every time. If my phone goes into sleep mode with that window still there then of course when i power on the phone it will still be selected on the compose box. I tried this with different keyboards and different settings. I checked it with every conversation/thread. I pushed back clicked a new person/conversation and low and behold same thing. It never automatically selects it so i can just click somenes name/conversation and start typing with hardware keyboard

Another thing I find is that if i start typing something phone goes into sleep power back on and phone changes from portrait to landscape it erases my msg that i was currently engaged in. And I dont mean drafts either

Appreciate the help btw : )
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
Oh I see... yes, mine also doesn't auto focus to the message box... Interesting. I can't recall how my G1 handled that, but I am sure it was the same as your. Not sure what to tell ya there then. The only other suggestion, and this depends on how you get to your messages, but if I open Messages, I can long press on the message and choose Reply, and then the message box is auto-focused...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mesajoejoe:
I just tested it out on my G1 and it autofocuses on the texting box every time. sigh...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Code3VW:
I use the google voice app for messaging, but one thing I noticed last night is that holding the VOLUME DOWN button will only turn the ringer "down" to vibrate. On my G1, it would go all the way to silent.

In order to get it to silent you have to hold the lock/power button on the top, select Silent Mode, and then press the volume button once to get the "silent icon" to show up in the top bar.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mesajoejoe:
found another bug:

When in wireless setting, wi-fi settings, menu, advanced setting, ipaddress. when trying to set ip address all the numbers are screwed up 1 becomes 7 2 becomes 9.......? only way to get it correct is to use FN key. Even using FN key twice causes them to be messed up
[myTouch 3G Slide General] gerelee:
mine goes to silent mode if you don't go all the way to vibrate with the volume rocker.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] turboyo:
LOL this ... Silent mode is above vibrate :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Code3VW:
Sure enough, you guys are right! Strange, so now it is Vibrate -> Silent -> Volume levels, my G1 was Silent -> Vibrate -> Volume levels
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
I'm sure this was intentional, and I for one like the change. My phone is either ringer volume to the max, or vibrate. I have no use for no ringer and no vibrate mode. So it's convenient for me to simply hold the Vol- key all the way and it goes right to Vibrate, no more having to go + once to get vibrate now :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] whttabeach:
I agree. I can't tell you how many times I accidentally put my G1 on silent and not realized it. It's still possible though, but I think it less likely since vibrate is the lowest option.

I'd actually prefer if silent wasn't even on the volume rocker. I've hardly ever used it and if I ever need it, I have no problem holding the power button and selecting silent on-screen.

Ok heres my story...I called T-Mobile 2 weeks ago, spoke to a rep in Android Tech Support, named Jessica...She said that it was coming to the MyTouch 2.1 most definately, but didnt have any idea as to when......Today I called T-Mobile again (just to hype myself up) and I spoke to a guy named Andre.....He at first said, "There are NO plans to release such an update, where did you hear about this?' I told him The T-Mobile.com forum...and several other sites...He went on to say, "Well that's just here say and thats the public talking, not T-mobile or Android."....Then said, "Wait I'm going to put you on hold and ask another representative who is taking classes for the MyTouch.".....So I wait.....5 minutes later he comes back and says, "Yeah sir there are NO future plans to release such an update."..So I asked, "How do you guys expect us to keep up to date with all your phones, when you release on every other month?"....He said, "Well that's technology sir."....I laughed and hung up.....

I would like other XDA members to call and ask the same ? and see how many different answers we can get....Maybe ONE DAY well get to see our MyTouches updated..

And come to think about it, We never recieved a SINGLE SYSTEM UPDATE EVER for the MyTouch...
