hehehe yes that's very bad, i've noticed it just after release. it's always a trouble for me to find icons because it's something i tend to forget and i find myself searching for them at the last moment.

Oh well, if you can help me with a good icon i would appreciate that.

thanks

thanks for the translation. for the street names in russian, i will investigate if this option is available through the services i'm using.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cunione:
What kind of icon are you looking for ?

Timer ? Chronograph ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ste09:
yes, something related to time. maybe a running clock :P
[Windows Mobile Software Development] PlackSlayer:
You could do something along the lines of a black and white mad hatter reference seeing as one of his quotes involves "I'm late" :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cunione:
Size of the icon ?

Format ? .PNG ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ste09:
The format should be .ico but basically every format will be ok (i will convert it) :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] billyJ:
fixed

thanks Jack. but you have forgotten to translate About, Back and Help

here is a correction for your file
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ste09:
the road to 1.5

Ok, i'm finishing the last adjustments for version 1.5

These will be the new features:

Added Options panel

User can select between degfault message or define a custom one ( with placeholders to insert street name, city, time of arrival)

User can select to get recipients contact from call history or SMS or both (depending on his habits in phone usage)

Option to add a link pointing to Google Maps at the end of the message

Moved most of the network calls to a webserver to optimize data exchange

Added landmarks to location results (sometimes street names returned are not so known as famous places like for example stadium or monuments)

Localized in 12 different languages (thanks to translators :) )

Fix to some minor bugs

I've tried to include your requests and suggestions but if you want something else to be added before i will release the new version, you can post it here and i will do my best to include it.

One last thing, since i've added some new text strings to the User Interface, i ask everyone that's been so kind to make the translations, if you can translate the new labels :o . I will post the new complete english file and i will contact you via private message.

Thanks

Stefano

I have a suggestion that maybe you might not like it!

Could you put the version number in the first post?

It gets a little confusing to me at least :( understand which version is in the first post.

Sorry if I'm being inconvenient.

And of course ... thank you for all your work.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ste09:
:) i've updated the filename on the first post so now there will be no ambiguities

thanks for the suggestion

Greaat app made a short vidoe for it .

[youtube]k8KcG6dMvFk[/youtube]

I tried in on a vga device ( HTC Diamond )

When the help is enabled , the whole text is not shown .
[Windows Mobile Software Development] morpheus1982:
This is a cool concept in terms of making use of the technology, however I am not sure that it is faster than simply sending a text to start with, as you are presented with the messaging app anyway? Maybe, clicking a few options is faster than writing out the full text. I dont know.

Also, is there an issue of not being able to use GPS? ..Because when I asked the app to find my location, the closest location found was about 2 miles away from my office.

It will be interesting to see this application develop.

Thanks for your input into keeping WM6.5 alive! :)

EDIT: I have just noticed your post about version 1.5, so I will perhaps reserve the above until I see that version. ETA?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ste09:
Thanks theOne for your video review :) i'm looking into the help not showing the other lines. on my device and on emulator it is ok, i think it's an issue related to SenseSDK.

Thanks for your comments :)

When i first developed this application, i was trying to create an application that was GPS indipendent because not every phone has a GPS antenna, because sometimes it needs time to fix and because i didn't need all that precision. I was looking for a way to estimate a user position just to inform someone else of his whereabouts. CellID localizzation is not very accurate but i found out to be good for this purpose. It still needs some refinement, you're right.

About the message, it is right that's faster to write it by hand, but i wanted to create an application that minimized the interaction with the phone and the cognitive load: write an entire SMS and think about where we are is heavyer than pushing 3 buttons while your're driving. By the way, I don't have test result to support one solution instead of the other, i will try to conduct them if i'll find some time :)

Last but not least, the next release is scheduled for the end of this week, i'm finishing right now.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] claus1953:
Here is the spanish translation for the new strings
[Windows Mobile Software Development] the0ne:
Not a problem mate , thanks for the app :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] PlackSlayer:
Updated Japanese translation (again poor but it should be sufficient to work).

ここに更新日本語訳です。

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cunione:
The same in the WVGA... :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bigeneral:
thanks, i'm going to try this!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] morpheus1982:
Thanks for your response. I think you have just hit the nail on the head! For use while driving...something I wasnt thinking about as I am not driving at the moment.

This is indeed a genius idea, and look forward to the next release!

polish translation update
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cunione:
2 test icons...

Any ideas ?

Colors ? Icon ? Text ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] billyJ:
maybe one of those
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cunione:
Much better !

Note : it looks like the MSN messenger icon. :-/
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ste09:
thanks to Cunione and billyJ for the icons !!

now it's up to you people of XDA to vote for the one you like the most :)

speaking about the application, i have a bad news: for now i'm forced to suppress the option to fetch contacts from sent/received SMS because it's an heavy and complicate operation. Maybe i will include it in a later version. sorry :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cunione:
My icons are pretty ugly. It's just a test.

I'd like to know what kind of icons are you waiting for ?

Realistic or "cartoon" like BillyJ's one ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cyclu:
Very cool icon, look HTC the best for me.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] billyJ:
wow, i did not know that, i always remove messenger from my rom and i dont use it on my pc, ha ha
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cunione:
You never see (saw?) that ?

:)

Nice work BTW.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bernabap:
Hi guys,

I used the Diniks template (with permission) and made two alternative icons to accompany his icons that I have on my ROM.

Here follows them:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ibn MuSa:
Hahahaha...

What an awesome idea. I haven't tried it cz it has been a while since I've logged in. But I'm giving a try on my HTC HD2 and will let you know if things go wrong.

Otherwise, I think this is a superb awesome simple idea. Keep it up!

error - unable to establish actual location

htc topaz

update....

i must live in the boonies..it did finally work.. love it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] noellenchris:
New version is great!, I can send the google maps link too. easy to select contacts either in history or pick. :) A few glitches when accidentally selecting "OK" instead of back in options. Selecting OK, sort of closes the app..? Had to kill it.. then restart. Maybe it's just me.

Thanks again, I absolutely love it!

the italian translation for the new strings?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] ste09:
The application is already translated in italian :)

thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bernabap:
Ste09,

the new version 1.5 does not work on my Kaiser when over 3G (HSDPA), only works over 2G (EDGE). When I try to locate over 3g I get an error: "Unable to access the GSM radio."

Another thing I noticed was that version 1.0 works much better than 1.5. All my attempts to locate me with version 1.0 was perfect, the first street to show me was exactly the street I was. The new version 1.5 seems to me that attempts to connect to an antenna further away from where I am. And the location service in version 1.5 does not even come close to where I am!

I admit I have not yet tested the 1.5.1 version, but if the logarithm of localization is the same as in version 1.5 I think it I will have the same problem.

The truth is that version 1.0 works perfectly for me! But I liked the new options that you added. Would be possible to you add these options in version 1.0? Please?

Thank you man!

How to change the program's language ?

When I install it, he's in english...

Can you install, in the options, a way to change easily the language of your program ? :)

Thank you.

BTW : nice icon !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ste09:
you're right, in 1.5.1 the algorithm is the same as in 1.5 , so it won't change your results. maybe i can add an option to allow a user to select the old method or the new one.

The problem with 3G is something related to the Radio Interface Layer of the devices. Unfortunalty, Microsoft only defines the public interface but the actual implementation of such a component is up to the producers. As a result, not all mobile phones exposes the required data about CellID and sometimes even in my tests I was unable to get 3G Cell Tower data.

Change the program language is big problem at runtime. As a matter of fact, the only way to do so in .NET CF is by using a workaround that is not documented and is not guaranteed to work in future. However, I will try this way and if it's ok i will include it in the next release. Meanwhile, you can change the locale on your mobile phone and restart it, after that the application language should be modified accordingly.

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] morpheus1982:
Ste09,

This is genius! Well done! Definately one of the quality WM apps to keep.

I have no idea what more could be added to this, but do you have plans to add more features, or simple address any bugs that come up?

Everyone needs to continue implementing using the Sense SDK to ensure a uniform look-and-feel for WM6.1 and 6.5 devices.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ste09:
Thanks for your compliments :)

In some days there will be a new release with some minor changes (option to select between two localization algorithms and option to change language indipendently from OS locale).

For the future, i'm not sure about new features. maybe i will try to insert something to post status on facebook or twitter. i just don't want to create a big application with thousand of features, i want to keep it as slim and simple as possible ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] morpheus1982:
OK cool. Now to find a reason to use it :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] scanie:
Updated swedish translation!

Sorry for the delay, I've had plenty of stuff to take care of at work!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ste09:
Thanks for the translatio scanie.

Tomorrow (or some time later) i will post the last release which basically includes the possibility to change language (indipendently from OS locale) and an option to select the old localization method (v 1.0) and the current one. I've also changed the interaction with the contact list and location menus but it's not a big difference from current version.

I just need to do some final touches and it will be ready (i'm struggling to find a way to automatically restart the application after a language change :confused:)

Will this work on a WM6, QVGA device?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ste09:
Sure it will !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Celso Marques:
Hi Stefano,

Please find attached the updated brazilian portuguese translation.

Best:D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sean D.:
So far I'm diggin' this. Only thing I don't like though is that it seems to drop my connection for a little bit while it's trying to "find me".

Otherwise, this is pretty nice.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] serfer222:
HI there =)

I have an idea how to make you program even more finger friendly.

Now I need to tap two times to select contact or street

1st time - tap on contact.

2nd - tap on "Back" to apply selection.

I use SenseSDK in my XDA_UC_NET program, and I suggest you to do the following:

When user taps on item - apply selection. Just one tap. And no need to search "Back" at the bottom of the screen.

Add OnClick handler to your items

itm.OnClick += new SensePanelMoreItem.ClickEventHandler(OnClickStreet);

and implement it simply to call the same code that you call when user taps on back.

That's it =)

You can try it in my program - just run it and tap on "Select another folder..." button. It allows you to choose any directory on your device. I think this way is more convenient.

thanx.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ste09:
You're right serfer222 and i've already included that in the next version. I originally used radiobuttons to be sure the used doesn't select a contact or a street by mistake while scrolling but actually that's very very uncommon, so i decided to remove that kind of interaction (it was also misleading because of the system "OK" button causing the application to be closed instead of confirming a selection).

I hope to be able to release the new version before this tuesday, otherwise i will have to posticipate it to the next week.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dtrieb:
Thanx for this program. I like it!

I think its a good idea with Twitter please go on with it!

The german translation is not complete. I do that if you send me the hole strings.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] serfer222:
Then...

It would be nice to release new version next month - to confirm program's name =)

Hi,

I've just try your app 1.51 (french on HD2) and I can't choose language.

When I click on find me, I've always the message, can't find GSM radio.

Is there something I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks for your help.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
I have seen in the about that the version number is wrong for 1.5.1.

In the about i can read top-right 1.5.0. Possible you can fix it for the

next version. Not important but on version check i have doubbel checked

this issue.

[XPERIA X10 General] WaiShingLee:
I was hoping somebody can help me out. I am trying to debrand my Hong Kong X10i. I was following the instructions online that needed me to download the Hong Kong Generic X10i Firmware (R1FA014). The link is megaupload.com/?d=AAS0XUTZ. Problem is, megaupload is blocked in Hong Kong (ironic on so many levels, I know) so I can't download the file. I have been Googling all evening but I can't find any alternative links. Any ideas? I suppose there are some options:

a) Suggest an alternative link that isn't megaupload.

b) Suggest a way to spoof my IP to bypass megaupload.

c) Someone download the file and send it to me (big ask, I know).

Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Chinese, is what the Chinese would call, 'putonghua', or what you hongkongers would call, 'guoyu', or 'kwokju' in cantonese jyutping.
[XPERIA X10 General] WaiShingLee:
OK. Thanks for that.
[XPERIA X10 General] jnd16d:
but in guangzhou or other cities cantonese is more often use than offical chinese .
[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
Oh.. I've met some of those Chinese before... Seriously had a hard time understanding their Cantonese... Actually thought the Chinese would all speak Mandarin, since it's the official language.

Just like in Singapore, though there are different dialect groups, we communicate in either English or Mandarin. I seldom or never speak Cantonese with other Cantonese friends. We normally use our dialect languages when communicating with families and relatives.

Hmm... If only there are alot of Cantonese in Singapore... I'm not saying that I dislike Hokkien, but I just hope I can enjoy HK movies in theaters listening to the original Cantonese rather than yhe Mandarin dubs... You can't imagine how whiny Ah Sa's dubbed voice can get...

And if they play HOCC or Justin Lo's songs over the radio, that'd be great.

mSpot live wallpaper shows your album covers floating on your screen.

Very nice looking but it will only show the album art from your downloaded music from mSpot.

At this moment it's only possible for AT&T, US Cellular, and Alltel users.

But you can just put your favourite album covers in the mSpot/covers map on your SD card. (first install mSpot from the market offcourse) Also albumthumbs work.

I hope someone will find this usefull as it a nice live wallpaper for music lovers.:)

[Touch CDMA Android Development] stealthbear:
I have a CDMA HTC vogue, and I unplugged it while it was charging, and now it is stuck in a state where it thinks it is plugged in to the charger all of the time, even when unplugged! Also if I plug it back in to the charger, it no longer lets me charge my battery, it does not detect the plug at all, but will still show the charging state even though it's not charging. I have tried multiple Android ROMS, including Incubus's Froyo RLS9, as well as reverting back to WM 6.1 on NFFAN's last 6.1 ROM, same problem. I have multiple batteries and they all work fine, I can charge them from an external charger. Please Help! If this cannot be resolved, is there any way to disable my phone from charging so it doesn't kill my battery when it is in there, I have an external charger I can use to charge the battery, thanks.

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if it's possible to some how change the text on the home screens?

For example, instead of the text with the ugly black round border thing around it, would it be possible to say have the text with a drop shadow instead?

Also a way to change the font too
[Android Themes] ghostdweller:
curious

did you find anything? I just thought of the same, wat if ...

That gray text background thing annoys me as wel.

How about extreme (oposite) contrast like with the (optional) windows mouse pointer so that if, for instance the background is black the text will be white and vice versa.

please let me know if you've found something. I'd hate to just open a thread for nothing

there might be some reg edits or tweaks, ill look around and let u know!

Hey guys I'm sorry to bother you all and I am sure you can see I am a newb to xda. I had a Samsung Moment before my Evo and had problems so had to return it and I was rooted and was able to unroot it to take back to Sprint. I just wanted to verify that if I use the new root method that if anything were to go wrong with my phone that I could unroot it at some point if necessary. If someone could point me in the wrong direction I would appreciate it.
