Hi all,

Considering introducing some kind of GPS Localization module to my project, I decided to create small test application just to see how does the Microsoft API work.

I referenced the code provided with Compact Framework to wrapp the original library and used it in my application. It was pleased to see, that everyting works just from scratch, but after a while I came across quite worrying behaviour.

Everything went good, before the signal was lost. What you expect then is the LocationChangedEvent to stop firing or position not validating at least.

Not this time. I got new position reports every second, including changing precision, satellites in view, GPS time, altitude.. everything.

Even using GetPosition() with TimeSpan set for 1 minute each new position was accepted. You could catch this data even after hour sitting in a tunnel, far from any sattelites signal, still getting new reports.

Is it typical behaviour for this devices? How could you recognize if the signal has been really lost or not then?

My Device is HTC HD2, Windows Mobile 6.5 inside. Behaviour does not depends on COM port selection or any other configuration.

P.S. Hmm, what is more I have noticed that the situation is similar using applications like OpenStreetMaps, etc.

Any idea?

Best Regards

Mikolaj

I spent the last hour searching for an answer before posting.

I'm using the NRG Titanium ROM with the native Arcsoft messaging (Windows) instead of the newer (and less user friendly) HTC messaging client but I had this problem in the stock ROM as well.

When a new sms message comes, I get the popup window. When I choose reply, the message window pops up briefly at full screen, then the on-screen keyboard pops up just like I want it to because I have "keyboardautodeploy" set to come up.

But then immediately it disappears and the message window comes back to full screen. Now I need to press on the keyboard icon for it to come up and then I have to touch in the text box to get the cursor back in focus.

I really don't understand why it does this. It does not do this on the email side and as far as I can tell the two are somehow integrated. Is there a registry setting in the SMS side that is telling it to open the messages in full screen which is conflicting with the autodeploy of the keyboard? It does not do this when i return to messages that I have already replied to, just new messages when they come in.

And no. I will not go to the HTC messaging client. It is a nightmare to use compared to the older arcsoft messaging client.

HTC Rhodium AT&T

NRG Titanium

no answers on this one?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] undefined:
i believe that the keyboard goes away because the Window focus suddenly goes to the top iframe of the messaging client, the keyboard will only auto deploy when the window focus is on an input area. Fix? no clue, sounds like a System issue, you dont want the htc messaging client, but thats what I use, and i have had no issues with it(just sayin)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obones:
Hello,

I'm the happy owner of an HTC Desire and I have installed a fair amount of applications, either via APKs on the SD card or via the market.

I have also configured many options and activated the "save to SD card" option.

I see that there is an OTA update available and while I'm not sure I actually need it, I'm wondering what impact this will have on my configuration of the phone.

Does it erase everything, and then I have to reinstall everything?

Or does it backup everything and reinstalls after the update is applied?

Thanks for your answers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanTehManUK:
Use TitaniumBackup to save everything then try the update, what ROM are you on and does that ROMs DEV have the option for OTA updates??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obones:
I'm on the original ROM that came with the phone, still unrooted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanTehManUK:
The OTA updates will work fine, usually youll wake up one morning and boom its updated (personal experiance with G1)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
If you have the htc sense backup to sd most of the data will be backed up to SD, ui screen settings / widgets and layours will not. the OTA will download via your data connection (and is can cost in data fees). If you do not backup to SD you can loose data, backup to sd does not backup all data and you cannot use TitaniumBackup if you have not rooted. i updated from 1.19 to 1.21 because of the random contact bug and sms issue but if you dont need to update you dont need to.

Changes reported in the 1.21 update:

- Updates bootloader to 0.80

- New radio image

- New youtube app with HQ option (1.6.20E).

- Fixed htc's weather widget (integrated into clock&weather widget) not knowing where you are (1.15.xxx just said the name of the country in some countries).

- SMS issue (from non-numerical senders) is resolved.

- fixed random contact showing when receiving operator SMS.

- fixes the voicemail bug for the French carrier SFR (short voicemail number used to call 911/emergency).

- Messages app now shows a count on the number of messages in the SMS inbox.

- calendar/contacts bug - unable to store contact's birthday - has been fixed.

- Long click on the menu button when in home screen now doesnt pop up the keyboard, like it uselessly did before.

- SMS reader does not show the little smiley androids any more - just the mere types.

- Exchange Company Address Book is now properly working. Was unable to use before the update.

- They have disabled the snooze function on the Optical trackpad for calendar events. This means that it is now possible to have the phone in your pocket without accidentally snoozing the alarms.

[EVO 4G General] sfox8:
I searched high and low on xda and on google for a solution to this and couldn't find anything.

Has anyone else noticed that anycut and bettercut no longer work with the newest EVO update? I've been trying to create shortcuts and it will say Shortcut Created even though nothing was really created. Either that or it won't say anything at all.

Is there any other solution to creating your own icons on your phone? This was one of my favorite features and it pains me that it's gone because I'm developing my own phone icon set and I kind of NEED to have that ability to test how they look on the phone...

Are there any other apps that can do this with the new EVO update? Any alternate solutions?
[EVO 4G General] geminye:
I didn't notice this until you mentioned it. Is there any way around this? I really want to use some custom icons.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] JRaab:
Heeeelp me!!

With my Touch Diamond 2 i can not make calls using leading +

every time i call with leading + i can not reach teh number.

I allways have to call 00

(for example +49 911..... is not possible

i have to call 0049 911...)

This is very terrible if i would like to answer a missed call.

Becaus every incomming call is identified by +43 ......

Please help me

:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] werdna72:
You should be able to simply tap the missed call details and connect without any problem.

As for dialling, I don't know which dialler you are using but on mine tapping and holding the zero key produces a + - and I've just verified that this works by making a call using it!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
i know cyanogen mod have a version of this, but is there ever a possibility of us being able to update over the air instead of always having to be at a computer when a new release is available, or because of the way our kernel is built is it not possible?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mnjm9b:
that really shouldn't be too hard.

I would say an app could be developed to connect to where an androidupdate.tar is hosted. then it would check to see if it is a newer version. ask if you want to update now? and then download to phone.

another way (instead of using the androidupdate which would always require a reboot into the installer to apply the update) would be to grant su to the app and have it download and replace whatever files needed replacing.(which may or may not need a reboot)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717324

i almost wonder if this could help with updating too, so even if we had to restart our phones we wouldnt have to do the install like normal
[Touch CDMA Android Development] piperthedj:
in reference to the need to reboot- could there be a setting perhaps for

auto update? or

auto reboot after install?

or even notify, install, auto reboot?

just trying to think of ways to make it happen.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
i think

notify -> install/update -> auto reboot

this would be best so that way you can choose to update when its convenient

because there are times where we need our phones and this would be the easiest way, and we could also have it notify if it would need data cleared or it can be saved

When I started flashing Tom 2.1 I wiped

I wiped all thing

Now when iwant flash other Tom it give me this massage

Can't open sdcard/update. Zip (bad)

I don't know what happiend I changed the sdcard but still the same

Thanks for helping
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
It's telling you the ROM you're trying to flash is damaged, so it's the zip that's the problem, hence changing the SDcard did not solve the problem.

Download the ROM again, verify the md5/sha1 first if you want.
[General Questions and Answers] geekykid:
is there a way i can set the browser as the default app required when opening certain types of files such as shockwave (swf)? i have some shockwave files that id like to view .on my evo without requiring me to go out to the internet and download the file manually everytime.

right now i have the files on my sdcard. when i try to open them, i get prompted to choose what type of file it is and then what to use to open the file.

i can view these files with my browser over the internet using flash lite.

i suppose i could run an http server on the phone itself, but there arent any good choices on the market. too bad i cant install apache.

thanks.

We are already on summer holidays.

Lots of people are currently away... And I would be too, but I have still one more exam left (20th July).

Also, tomorrow I'm planing on benchmarking 15 Android 2.1 ROMs for our Heros.

It will be a CPU benchmarking, similar to the work being made by Arkymedes here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=700755

I didn't start already, because Aurora Softworks will only release the advanced version of Quadrant tomorrow. The standard version (already available) has only the option of performing a full benchmark (includind 2D and 3D graphics, and that's the "job" of Arkymedes, not mine).

So yeah, I've been searching for some CPU benchmarking applications but the "best" I've found are Linpack, BenchmarkPI and Quadrant. If you, or anyone who reads this knows a better one, leave me a PM, please.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] dawynkoop:
I found out something interesting that I figured I'd share with the rest of the users here. The battery that is shipped with the HTC Ozone from Verizon is a 1500mah HTC branded battery. The HTC ozone can be purchased for FREE online with the new phone discount, plus free shipping. If you have a line with an upgrade discount available and want to sacrifice it for a free spare battery for your Incredible (also works for Eris) this is a good way to do it.

I've only had my Incredible for a day so I'm not sure exactly how much more battery life you'll get with the 1500, but even if it's not much more you can keep it around as a backup when the other dies.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] hamburglar13:
Why would you want to pay at a minimum 240 dollars over 2 years just to get a battery and waste an upgrade on a terrible phone.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dawynkoop:
That's why you'd be "sacrificing" an upgrade. If you have a line due for an upgrade but you don't want to upgrade, you can use it to get the phone for free, giving you an additional battery. You don't actually have to use the phone, and you could probably even sell it on ebay without the battery for a few bucks.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] blastek:
this is by far the worst idea I have ever, ever heard. You want to waste an upgrade to get a 1500mah battery that you can buy 2 for $5 on ebay? Ya know, instead of buying a $600 phone for $200 and reselling it? What the HELL?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] krelvinaz:
and you are then recommitted for another 2 years in the process....

doesn't make sense.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] frenchy180:
It's just so much simpler to call Verizon and complain about your battery life to get a second battery sent your way...

does that work?

yo this is a great idea. forget using my other NE2 to get the moto x or the next best thing when im sick of my inc. i'll get the old ass htc ozone so i can have an extra $5 battery incase i need the much more powerful 1500mah battery. it's a whole 200mah more!!! i can't believe i didnt think of this before!

fart.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mikeacela:
Wow this forum can be mean. I think if your willing to sacrifice your upgrade good for you and enjoy your battery. But if you don't agree with his opinion, you don't have to be an @$$.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] aol8mydog:
That's XDA for ya.

Anyways, I think if someone wants to forfeit an upgrade for a battery, then so be it. What if a person who works for HTC gets a free or heavily discounted phone from their employer and chooses to use a Verizon upgrade for the same purpose the OP explained? Would the arrogant jerks attack them? Who cares about 2yr contracts? I've been a Verizon customer since I got my first phone. Not sure why people are so scared of contracts.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] budwiser0240:

hi, xda`lers :)

i have a question... a week ago i sortet all my contacs in my contact book by putting the first name in the first name box and the last name in the last name box, so that the built in facebook stuff recognizeses the names and links them to there facebook picture and so on, like it should be

my question is now.. now that i put the last name also in it , the contacts are sortet by there last name first meaning, that some random guy called brad pitt , instead of being in the categorie of "B" now is unter the category of "P"

sure i could link the fb accounts manually, but i flash a lot, and to do this every time would be a timekiller

so?, someone knows, how to sort all the contacts by their first name?, would be awesome

thx for the help Jur1nator

Well, are these contacts synced with outlook? If so, you can change the sort settings in outlook and I believe they may be seen differently on ur phone.

Good morning all.

Been searching the forum trying to find out some more information as to what the tBattery program is trying to tell us. What all the different fields are and what their impact is.

Also, I just installed the Energy ROM 23569 and it loaded in tBattery v0.6. One of the threads I did find about battery drain says tBattery .6 does not work for HD2's, is that still the case? If so, I wonder why the energy crew are loading it in if it is not compatible.

Any insight would be great. Looks like a great tool, but not 100% sure I am understanding everything it is telling me. About all I know for certain looking at it now is that I am at 100% charge and my temp is 30.6 C. About everything else is greek to me, so to speak. LOL

Sorry if there is a detailed thread out there for this already, I've been searching, just can't find it.

Ty!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkelley:
are you speaking from the pov of the hero being needing to be discovered by another device?

that isn't the sort of thing one needs to do more than one time per device though. once you've done it, the other device should remember the hero's info. just enable bt next time on both devices and voila, it should connect. right?

and there is the power control widget to enable/disable bt (along with other alternatives on the market and the sense toggle widgets if you're on a sense rom).

If you want your bt to be set to "discoverable" constantly then your battery will disappear really fast and it's a security risk as well (hence this feature doesn't exist in any bt device I've used including android). that's why apps like "bump" enable it only when, well, bumped, and in a way that both devices can talk briefly without user configuration necessary (but still user approval and instructions are needed before any file/secure info transfers can occur).

there's a difference between these three modes:

bt off (saves most power, bt is battery hungry...),

bt on (icon in display; can connect to devices that it has previously been paired with such as your bt handsfree or your computer for file transfers just be enabling the other device's bt - this puts it in sort of a receive mode where it will ack the other device to show itself but doesn't use a TON of battery, however it's still better for battery to turn off bt when not in use)

bt on and discoverable (which is, by bt design, only going to run for a short period such as 2 minutes because it opens up your device to others seeing it and trying to add it and also is transmitting over bt constantly so uses the most signal... 2 minutes seems pretty long to me actually, I've seen shorter in other devices).
