Hi there,
I'm quite new to this site and also just recently got hold of the HTC S710. This is really a kick ass little phone. Like a kid who got a new toy i started installing application, one of them Mxit (www.mxit.co.za/wap).
The 1st thing i realized was that i could not use the backspace key, (the 1 with the blue arrow on it) to erase mistyped text, I had to go to the Menu, Scroll up until I got "back" and the letter got erased, i had to do this for every single letter.
Then I installed Dr. Gonzo's Windows Mobile 6.1 v1.1 Rom. It just got worse, the Mxit application got shrinked somehow and didn't display full screen. but i had my backspace button working But still, its quite annoying not being able to have it in full screen like on my Nokia N80 which i had.
Then I installed Dr. Gonzo's New_Guava ROM v.1.0 OS: 5.2.1623.18129.0.4.5, and it runs like a dream, right about until I installed Mxit again and the application got shown in full screen but it cut off my last 3 contacts including the functionality of an inline editor (shows a bar at the bottom on the live chat screen to enter text) but I can not see this bar because its somehow getting hidden behind my Start Menu.
I read a few posts, and came to the conclusion that its got something to do with my JAVA. Right, i download at least 10 different versions, each and everyone doing exactly what i mentioned above.
If anyone can please help me get this sorted out I would be forever grateful. Sorry for the long post, but I had to describe whats going on.
I'm awaiting replies from anyone who can help me
Thanx...
I understand what you are saying.
This is a problem with the Jbed version for Vox.
I was hoping that some other Java version(other than esmertec) might resolve this. But I have no time to try that now.
Have to finish my exams first.
If you can find the IBM J9 or old Tao Intent versions, do try that.

Hi there,
Does your inline edit work, can you see the bar where your suppose to type your text in and is your Mxit fullscreen is it being cut of at the bottom. Oh and do you use the blue arrow key, does it delete text, cos mine just closes the application completely!!
What JAVA version are you running...!?
Thanx, i'm busy testing some other versions right now, so far not so good. Will keep you posted as well.
Okay.....so has anyone got to test Mxit on the Vox...?! I just received my phone back after being sent away for repairs, took about a month!!!!
But now it s back
Anyway, this morning I flashed the VoxRomNEO_v0.8 onto my phone and WOW this is truely an amazing Rom!!!
Okay, back to this thread, I installed Mxit again, hoping that by now I can have it running fullscreen and hopefully be able to see my last 3 or 4 contacts at the bottom but no luck. It is still the same, I'm tired of reading thru Midlet Bibles and all that jazz.......is there anyone out there who could possibly test this and give me some feedback.....please...!!!
Hey everyone,
Okay so this morning I flashed the WM 6.1 (96 dpi) version for the Vox, and guess what, Mxit works, I can see my contacts at the bottom and my inline edit works like a charm. The only problem I got is when I pushed the Blue Back Arrow button (which i normally use to backspace with) it closes the application.
So now my question, did it work because the ROM runs in 96 dpi, or is it the Java version on the phone which is Jeodek Build ID: 20070425.1.1....?
I'm could not get the version downloaded anywhere, but i did find some with heap size fixes......crossing my fingers that it works!!!
Will keep you guys posted....
Hello again,
Okay, so I got my Mxit to work, fullscreen, being able to see all my contacts including the damn inline edit bar at the bottom....
Now I have 1 problem, can anyone tell me how to change the key mapping of the "Blue Arrow Key" on the front display of the VOX.
What happens is, i use it as a way to backspace and delete text. But everytime i press it, it ask me if i want to close the Java application....
Can anyone tell me how to fix this please....?!
ei guys im looking for a simple program called reboot...when i click it, it shows two options whether u want to shutdown or restart.... it got deleted when i hard reset my tornado...any idea where i could find it or could u guys be kind enough to post it tnx.
I never used such program, but I advise you to try CeleTask, if you alredy dont have it. It also has these two options you want.
try this my friend
[App][31-07-09] Small,fast,reliable Soft Reset/Suspend and Shutdown w & w/o TD2 icons
[Click here fo my all in one application SoftReset/Shutdown/Standby/Dim Light/Screen Off check]
TD2 SoftReset is a small (17 KB) program I wrote in native C++ to be able to soft reset the HTC Touch Diamond2 without having to fiddle with the backcover or wait ages for the device to turn off when using the power on/off button.
A soft reset is usually advised when the device starts to get slower or if significant changes were made like editing the registry, sometimes even after installing new software.
So this little tool comes in handy for that.
Of course there are already other "soft reset" tools out there, but I wasn't sure which method they use to accomplish the task (there are quite a few different ways). As some of them might even cause loss of data I wanted to be on the safe side and wrote my own. Plus it now has this nice little icon (hope you like it too) representing the TD2
HOWEVER: use at your own risk - I am putting it into public domain and thus will not take any responsibility.
TD2 SoftReset will work on all windows mobile devices starting from 2003SE.
To uninstall pick "HTC TD2 SoftReset" from the software removal. I've added 2 flavours of the program TD2SoftReset.CAB and TD2SoftReset_Suspend.CAB. Clicking "No" in the latter version will put the device to sleep aka standby mode. You don't need both CABs, just decide if you want the additional suspend function.
TD2 ShutDown
This program utilizes the HTC internal Shutdown method. It completely shuts down the device. Same way as if you'd hold the power on/off button for longer.
As there were more and more people (with other HTC devices) asking for versions with neutral icons, I have attached those too.
TD2SoftReset.CAB - Simple Soft Reset Program with TD2 icon (TD2 icon w 2 blue arrows)
SoftReset.CAB - Same as TD2SoftReset.CAB with neutral icon (2 blue arrows)
TD2SoftReset_Suspend.CAB - Same as TD2SoftReset.CAB, but clicking "No" will suspend device
SoftReset_Suspend.CAB - Same as TD2SoftReset_Suspend.CAB with neutral icon.
TD2ShutDown.CAB - Adds a program to safely shut down your device with TD2 icon.
ShutDown.CAB - Same as TD2ShutDown.CAB with neutral icon

Many thanks TinTin! Got it installed, and it works fine, and it's also nice to replace my programs shortcut from a 'HD Soft Reset' now to a 'TD2 SoftReset' icon. Thanks again.
Thank you! Glad you like it - at least 1 out of 100 *lol
Good work; appreciate you sharing this utility. Many thanks.
Good job, TinTin!!!
Is it possible to make another .cab without "Softreset?", that i don't need to confirm? I am testing a lot of things ant that would save me a lot of "Clicks"
I would appreciate it a lot. Danke im Voraus!
Hi TinTin, Thanks man! This, and your other great utility are now listed in the Rollup thread ;-) many thanks!

Check TD2SoftReset_No_Warning.CAB which is attached - this version will not ask for confirmation before a softreset is executed, clicking the program icon will immediately soft reset your device I encourage everyone to rather download and install the version in the first posting in case of accidental misclicks.

Thanks jeutie
Rollup thread? Where is that?
TinTin, if you're not using KernelIO, what are you using?
Are you causing a purge of file buffers etc first?
There's also the Windows API method, or the HTC specific methods...
I can't remember what VJEschaton uses, but I specifically DON'T make special efforts to close file handles etc IIRC, as frankly, with a flash based filesystem, it shouldn't be able to cause a great deal of damage.
But either way, I'd be interested to know what technique you're using.
PM if that's better.

Hi vijay, ltnh
No secret - I'm using ExitWindowsEx , recommended as per msdn. It stops all running processes and flushes the buffers, which KernelIO doesn't. It's not a personal experience that there may occur data loss in using KernelIO, but I've read about it being a possible issue on several different sites.
Ah, that's the one. Yeah, I think I use that on some devices...
Wow, it's been a long time since I wrote that one, I feel my APIs slipping away Gotta start reading them again.

Thanks, I had been wondering why there were no sticky threads at all in the other 2 Topaz sections, I don't look too much in the ROM section.
What a great thread! Thanks for that and also thank you very much for finding my contribution worth mentioning.
Cheers,
Tin
Thanks for your work!
Thanks also : little and fast, does the job perfectly.

Thanks for this softReset shortcut....
i prefer the version that ask for confirmation....
I fully agree - the other one is just useful for those that install a lot of things/play around a lot with stuff, then it gets annoying to have that extrac click

Or turn off the PIN code from the Windows Mobile's settings

I know... I tried to install another Linux previously on my Tornado... And when i start the Haret application for Android it shows me the bootloader with 2 choices!
if you want more info on the android progress read the post in the excaliber forum.
wa! pro!
GSM works full? or only texting?
With PIN disabled, i've also received a sms message
I tried to send a sms (some random chars 'cause the not full supported key layout) and the destination phone has received it
---Please cancel
oh wow! calling doesnt work? and is there any way to inject the keypad drivers atleast?
Can we use WM interchangeably with Android?

Ok, I know I saw this somewhere and now I have spend far too many hours trying to find it again. I had to do a hard reset on my phone and have no idea where that cab file went that forced the reply all soft key to just reply. I am really hoping that someone can help me find this because it is really annoying how many times I have hit reply all on accident since the hard reset. Please help me out! Thanks in Advance!!

don't be so hard on the boy; that tip is for the Leo, not for the Topaz, not everybody knows if the registry tweaks are compatible between devices.

LOL don't worry. I tested it before I posted it and it works on the Diamond2
Sorry it sounded like such a stupid question. Like I said, I searched for a while looking at it and I tried several different ways to type it into google. I was unsuccessful and was figuring that having a whole community of eyes would help me to find it since I was having a problem. I didn't realize that there would be sarcasm on the side. Not everyone can build a ROM from scratch or know where to find every hack and tweak for these phones. This is my first phone that I can really go crazy with and I have had it for less than 2 months so excuse me for having a newbie question.
