Rock on! Yeah right noI'm jsut getting my feet wet in C++, but I'm sure that shortly down the road I'll be working on learning it more in-depth. It is def much faster at runtime than .NET.

Thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chabun:
Native code?? Why??

Hey guys

I recommand clearly .net developement! On desktops .net code is optimized on the target pc - c++ is compiled on that pc where you coded it. So .net is not any more slower than a native app - in some cases the target-optimation causes more powerful code as the native one.

Even on winmo the code is not slow (you don't feel the difference beetwin managed and unmanaged). Clearly, the .net gdi is slow and has not very much caps... But there are simply ways to access Open GL ES and programming is damm more easy than c++.

And last but not least: WinMo 7 apps are written with the XNA Game Studio or Silverlight - that means you'll code in managed c#!!

So get started with C#!!!

thanks for this link
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I entirely disagree.

By coding using the pre-made Managed Libraries in the .NET Framework, you are making an app that, when run each time, has to load up those "immense" DLL's and access them for practically every function it does. And if you want to go beyond the basic abilities of C#, you have to start importing DLLs to use. However, in C++, as I understand it, the code is being generated based on the Header files on the computer, and the libraries. I find that C++ apps can be larger in size because more of their functions are 'internally' coded.

Sure, a C# app can be just as fast as a C++ app if the developer has no idea how to write a C++ app (no optimization or memory management), but that is exactly the reason to start with C++, to get better! A skilled C++ developer can create programs that run distinctly faster than C# applications.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chabun:
Hey

Calm down. I also know c++ and i coded some apps in it.

Of course you have to import some dll's managed or unmanaged, but where's the difference to import any header file?? I still use some c++, no c - for real low capable hardware (a robot) where no other compiler is avaible...

But ispartacus75 has asked for some tuts and help to get started and we won't start a fight c++ vs. c#, will we?

But I'm still recommending c#...:D

If you want to make a nice GUI, use QT!

Say no to C#! Blah it is no good. Go with C++ all the way. You won't regret it.

Anyway, go to Qt.nokia.com and get into Qt. There is a lot to learn at first but it will pay off for any c++ developer. It is free and you can develop for winmo 5.x-6.5.x. Also using QtDesigner you can build the Gui without writing a single line of code. Let me know if you want an example I can whip this up in no time.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ispartacus75:
Hi all.

After a lot of searching around, and reading tutorials etc I decided to go with C++ to start off with.

Someone asked why I wanted to do this rather than just use a calculator or an Excel sheet. I wanted to do it simply to see if I could. I have a couple of little projects in mind and if I could sort this one out I might be able to have a go at the others.

So far I have downloaded Code::Blocks as the compiler, seems to do the job so far. I have also written the code for what I want:

At the moment this seems to be working. I press F9 and it will run the program exactly as expected.

I now have the .exe, but when I run it the window closes as soon as the calculations are complete. How can I sort this before continuing on with the project?

Next step is the GUI (I think, kinda gone head first into all of this), so want to get this problem sorted first.

Thanks for taking a look

What's the best app to use to code in C++

I'm also interested in windows mobile application development. I have some ideas that I'd like to develop as well as try to contribute back to this forum for all the applications I've used from here.

Researching, I too would definitely like to use C++ over C#. What would you recommend as an application to start development? I know Visual Basic is the Microsoft standard, but I'm not too fond of shelling out hundreds of dollars. I've looked at the possibility of QT for Windows CE/Mobile and Visual C++ Express. Is there a free application other than these that is recommended?

-Was using "Work Email" app on 2.1, worked perfect.

-Up to 2.2 and "Work Email" app is not 2.2 compatible.

-My exchange email (Best Buy) will not authenticate on stock N1 email client (Best Buy requires device to have Pin Lock) I guess stock email client cant enforce that.

-Tried Touchdown, didnt work, confirmed with Touchdown that its not supported.

-Tried K-9, didnt work. And is a poor program IMO.

-Best Buy exchange does work on HTC android devices such as EVO, Aria, Incredible, Here....it is able to enforce the Pin requirement and there is no problem.

I love my N1, im on AT&T. Am I out of options??

I thought 2.2 supported pin locking?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraigP17:
it does. but it doesnt even prompt to do so when setting up Best Buy email on it. Just wont authenticate and connect.

whereas with HTC phones it prompts for the simple pin requirement and all is good.
[HD2 General] camro:
Hi,

it cost me 6hrs to find out, where the problem was ...

can't send/receive MMS on Provider A1 (provider from Austria) via HTC HD2.

funny, thing, it seems to be working on sending, but never time the MMS goes to MMSC on provider side ...to get a detail log on MMSC server is almost impossible or i can't wait some years to get it ...anyhow ..

well the settings for A1 proxy are normally on Port 8001 (like iPhone, but doesn't work for HTC HD2 ...

change port 8001 (Proxy Port) to 9201 and it is working.

Rest of the settings can be as it is after auto-config.

[Desire General] jmonfu:
Hi all

A very noob question but I cannot find out how. How to format my sd card with ext partition? I tried the clockwork but did not work. I tried ROM Manager and its telling me that there is an error.

Can someone point me to something were it shows how to do this?

Thanks a lot for your help
[Desire General] JohnSteveDoe:
Get a SD card reader?
[Desire General] jmonfu:
i don't have one, is there another procedure through the phone?
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
No need for card reader. I did it using the one in rom manager, but as you are not able to use this, i would go with the pushed recovery from the older rooting methods from modaco. You just enter the black recovery screen with the !

Then your insert the cable, and run a batch file on your computer. This recovery should have the ability to partitionate.

just search for the r5 root or pm me for link (cant post links as i'm a new user)

You must use the file called "recovery-windows.bat" or the one for your system.
[Desire General] olaxe:
but if you have clockwork installed, the black screen with <!> will not appear becaus clockwork recovery is loaded automaticly.

if i push the recovery from the r5-root img (while beeing in clockwork recovery) it seems like there are both recoverys running at the same time.

how can i uninstall clockwork recovery or block it from beeing autostarted ?
[Desire General] JohnSteveDoe:
It doesn't. Normally it boots into normal recovery, and then you have to apply update.zip (which is Clockwork Recovery). THEN it boots into CMR.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
ye it is because you have flashed the unrevoked permanent recovery. I prefer the fakeflash as it is easy to change and work just as well.

In that case if there is another easy method to format the sd other than using your computer. I have seen som suggestions on using the amonra recovery.. You could try that.

And i only think you can remove the permanent recovery by flashing stock ruu for now, but then you will have to reroot, as it also unroot the device. :)
[Desire General] oursoul:
pain in the arse isn't it.. I came across this exact dilemma today

hopefully the unrevoked guys will sense this and make some changes on their next release?

Already claimed insurance tablet, but do not know if the gadget would do, yet it had to send equipment manual, it would be interesting to analyze the terms of the contract to see the value of the franchise, sometimes it pays off!
[Touch Cruise General] ZenithUK:
I've had the O2 Gold insurance for a number of years now. My old XDA Exec was discontinued when got a cracked screen. I was offered 1 of 4 alternatives from the XDA range, so I picked the XDA Orbit 2.

The terms usually state that you get a replacement or refurbished model if the handset is still currently sold, or an alternative if it is discontinued. My suggestion to you is to push for a current handset from O2's range, something like the HTC HD Mini if you want to stick with WinMo.

In another attempt of having a stable phone, with the AOSP dialer/contacts/messaging...

I know we have a few [stable, but sorta not stable] roms that are AOSP related,

I understand so much code can/cant be transfered from Sense into making an AOSP Rom, and I understand that. im an older C+ / VB programmer, and understand trying to make something out of decompiled code is a *****, so ...

instead of trying to make a rom that is all converted over,

why hasn't anyone, in the time of Hero/Sense, all the way till now,

hasent anyone just made an app that is coded/looks just like the regular

AOSP Dialer/contact/messaging stuff?

Not to completely replace our phones dialer and what not, but still id end up clicking this "made up" app before I would click my regular dialer icon..

I mean, there are plenty of apps that read our call logs, contacts list

stock dialer/contacts dont look too complicated, is it the layout that would be hard?

Are there any developers that read this? Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Like, list of APIs/whatever type of stuff that is called from in Android coding? Im no stranger to code, but i know nothing about android coding / java.

But again, can anyone send me the right direction? I understand get the Android SDK emulator and what not, but i dont feel like following slow moving tutorials for hello world widgets.

Ill be more than happy to do this day and night, to get desired results.

I dont think im asking too much, and I could make this a way longer explanation.

Thanks again to anyone / everyone thats willing to help, or that is interested.

[XPERIA X10 General] cvg_guy:
Hello guys, I am having a problem with my unbranded x10i bought in UK (I am currently using it here in the philippines with a local sim card) . After I did an OTA two days ago, it just keeps on restarting/booting! I have tried the "repair" option twice in the PC Companion software but still no luck.

What's strange though is that when I tried switching the phone on WITHOUT a sim card in, it booted up with no problem (and I checked the build number, it says R2BA020 which probably means the OTA update was a success). I put the sim card back in and the problem came back, it kept on restarting.

What seems to be wrong? Any suggestions on fixing it? I would really appreciate your help guys. Thanks!

Update: I successfully rooted my phone hoping that rooting would solve my issue, but unfortunately it still keeps on rebooting/restarting whenever i put ANY sim card in. :(

I have the same problem too and I have just updated my phone to R2BA024 and the firmware version is still 1.6. I have hard-reset so many times and reinstall some many times. The problem still there. I have contact Sony Ericsson customer service and bought my phone to fix. Got it back, problem hasnt been solved. I have waited for 3 weeks for a reply from them and end-up they said they do not have any new phone or spare-parts to fix my phone. Until then, I have contacted them almost 10 times and still no one has the right answer and just keep asking me to wait. They dun even have an exact date when the parts will arrive. I am very piss off now and I dunno what I should do next.
[XPERIA X10 General] addictivesundew:
Its the same problem here with me too. Bought the phone from a friend about 3 days ago. was going all good when it just started to keep booting itself. While the sim is inside, it'll restart just as it finishes booting. Without the sim, its fine. I have tried other sim cards too, and format/reset my phone many times but it just isnt working for me anymore. HELPPPP!!!

Is it 32K sim or 64K???
[XPERIA X10 General] Shonan_:
hi techguru, can u tel me wot the diff is between the 32k and 64k sim ? many thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] addictivesundew:
ISSUE SOLVED here.

BTW : my sim is 64k.

anyways, i found out that the problem was because of the faulty battery. what i guess is that the voltage couldnt get to the requirements of the phone, and everytime the sim radio (whatever its called) switched on, the phone just turned off.

I reinstalled/repaired my phone many times, GOT the exclamation mark of death one time also, but the phone just didnt turn on.

Later i noticed that the phone would just turn on itself when i attach the phone to the charger, otherwise it wouldnt turn ON. So what i did was just change the battery, and walla, the phone is ALIVE again.

Sim is working, phone is working.

BUT i see some signal losses from time to time, otherwise the phone is good enuff.

FOR me , the change of battery did the trick, I hope it works for u guyz aswell.

Cheers ...:)

hmmm. sounds interesting. I might try changing my battery. btw, i have tried using both 64 and 32K sim cards but the phone keeps restarting with any of the sim cards in. without both the sim cards, the phone works fine. how much does an x10 battery cost?
[XPERIA X10 General] addictivesundew:
here, i get the cheap chinese battery. it isnt expensive, but its working great. almost better than my previous battery.

cost me around 2.5$.

but.. i am still getting lots of SIGNAL DROPS. i dont know why it is happeneing. I tried swapping the battery with the original battery of another X10, but no change. Signal loss is not a battery issue then.

Any idea what it could be ??
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
Signal loss?

Maybe a weak signal, or radio related?:(
[XPERIA X10 General] addictivesundew:
or maybe its because i updates it to R026 is causing the signal loss issue ??
[XPERIA X10 General] tecmobility:
@techguru

I am also using airtel, but with a 64kb sim.

In my case it does not start.

It start if with no battery or with a 128kb sim of TIM.

I tried to recharge the firmware but nothing seemed to change.

I know that someone solved the problem swithcing off the phone in airplane mode, but this is not the case for me.

I also noticed that in some cases the led is green and is slowly blinking.

I am ready to change the battery if this helps, but I am not sure. Even if I put it under charge it does not switch on and the battery seems not to charge

As I bought the phone only since one day I wonder if they will change it.

Hi all,

just installed ROM Manager on my rooted Desire with stock rom,

wanted to backup current ROM.. it said I have to flash ClockworkMod Recovery first.

Clicking on the install, after selecting "HTC Desire" it says: "An error occurred while downloading your recovery." :|

Someone got any idea of why ?

And.. while at it.. doing a ROM backup will also save all the screens config (widgets etc.) ?

Thanks :)
