hi,
is there some software i can get to have a lock screen that needs my fingerprint to unlock it?
not unless you have a fingerprint reader for your phone which one do you have.
yeah a touch screen (resistive touchscreen)cant read fingerprints
it's not technically possible nor with the capacitive touchscreen
of iphones
but the sedna does have a reader, but we dont know what phone he has
anyone know a fake fingerprint sw for ppc?
I had on palmOS... awesome
got a sony experia x1. did not think it was possible but remember a ipaq had a fingerprint reader touchscreen abot 5 years ago. was wondering if it could be done through sofware on a standard touch screen
no ipaq had a fingerprint reader but it was not the screen

it's the thin line under the directional pad
you slide your finger across it
many laptop have the same system
it's not as good as the full finger print reader like this
got the ms one for my main and one of the sliding one on some laptops
the full reader is easier to get at first try
the slider ones mostly take a few slides to get it

Hello! I have a Toshiba Portege G900 with a fingerprint scanner but it has only fingerprint launcher as built-in application and I was also wondering if there is any downloadable software for locking data using the scanner. Please say if you know any.

Have any of you seen the Finger Mouse on the Samsung Epix? That thing is the shiz. You know how our Touch Pro's have that touch-sensitive center button right... does anyone think they can either rip and port the Epix driver over to the Pro or can a smart person write up an app that does the same? That would be Awsome!!!
Finger mouse as in.....

haha i lold
AFAIK mouse pointer in Pocket PC was first bought out by HTC in their P3300 Pocket PC a.k.a HTC Artemis. The mouse is controlled by a trackball which was initially bought out on Blackberry. Now Samsung Epix seems to have a mouse pointer on screen which can be controlled by a small touchpad something similar to the ones you have on laptops.
yes.
but raphael have a touch panel around the center button.
so, that place can be useful, to make a "mouse"
The whole area downthere is actually touchsensitive
Yeah, I know, it can mean at least 2 things but I mean that the whole area under the screen i touchsensitive and not only around the button.
haha. this is the third "idea" of this.
in my post i already looked into it, but because i am new to programming on Windows mobile and also in accessing the touchpad, i was not able to call it right.
The next problem was that the SDK provided by someone, the message of a touch is only called when the window is open and in front and the demo of this sdk shows that it is also only called when you touch and release your finger of the touchpad.
Maybe this are only restrictions of the SDK programming but it seems to be not possible for my little SDK, WM, NET programming skill.
I still hope someone will make this tool or will help by / fix this SDK.
some other idea already mentioned is to use the touchpad as alternative left/right/top/bottom keypad because it is not really handy on the Touch Diamond/Touch Pro.
Hello, is this phone multitoouch?
Does it have another name as the previous one is Raphael?
thanks!
no as far as I know no htc device support multi-touch
as far as I know wm don't really support it as it require capacitive touch
rather then resistive touch which all wm devices use could be wrong though

i think youre right thats why M$ keeps saying that i would be a great feature of WM7...
ifim not mistaken apple has a patent on multitouch but i hear the touch pro now has multitouch which can only be exploited with the developer's test kit.

if apple has a patent on multitouch sounds like cheating....
M$ has one multi-touch patent, which includes gestures, so they can legally implement it in Windows 7 and Windows Mobile 7. The Touch Pro2's code name is the Rhodium.
And when you say the Raphael has multi-touch, I believe it's kind of a false multi touch. When you touch 2 points on a resistive touch screen, the phone registers the touch at the exact distance between the two points you're touching.
So what some people have started to do is include "invisible buttons" in their emulators, etc., so when you touch the up on the virtual DPAD and the "X" button, the point registers in between them, where there is an invisible button between those two points, whose action is to perform Up on the DPAD and press the "X" Button. I know it sounds confusing, but maybe this image will help.

HTC HD2 is a multitiuch cell phone fellows...
tested...
HAHAHA... Dude you just succesfully answered a post that was over a year old... Congrats =)
Hi all,
I've been using the HTC Tornado Noble for 4 years already, and I'm still loving it, particularly because what the device could do for me
http://karhoe.net/my-windows-mobile-smartphone-my-everything.html
I have been tempted with the availabilities of many new touch screen device on the market but one of the thing that is holding me back is because I am not used to the touch screen input.
I have played with many touch screen input devices, be it capacitive or resistive and I find that I could not text as fast as I could with my T9 keypad.
No touch screen (even with vibration feedback) could provide the tactile feeling that a real keypad can provide. Furthermore, the dictionary function and predictive text input of a WinMo device is just very responsive.
It's been a while since HTC release a smartphone, last I recalled was the HTC S740, is it really the case that smartphones would be obsolete soon?
Maybe the iPhone craze has caused HTC to dedicate its resources towards making touch screen devices.

Another good smartphones are Excalibur and later Maple
The Best Google Android Phone Yet
The HTC Hero is a gorgeous smartphone that takes the best of the two previous Google Android phones -- the T-Mobile G1 and the myTouch 3G -- and builds on them. It's certainly not perfect, but the HTC Hero is, so far, my favorite Android phone, without a doubt. And it's earned a spot on my list of the best smartphones available today.
But nevertheless, it's still a touch screen input device!
Smartphone=non touch screen - PPC=touch screen
Not Excalibur or Maple, both are non touch smartphones
I actually think that HTC are going in the right direction with phones such as the Touch Pro2, which use a touchscreen for navigation and a qwerty keyboard for speedy typing - even faster than the alphanumeric layout used by normal phones.
The problem is there is still a niche for people who wants a real simple phone with PDA function, that's smartphone!
I would exceptionally prefer a candybar, no sliding mechanism, those ribbon are just thin and fragile
On that line of no touch smartphones, one of the best available is this:
Not sure if people have noticed this and I couldnt find anything on search related to this but,
the area below the display on the one x(mine's att) is full touch enabled and gesture capable(?)
I noticed this when I was swiping through the home screens and my thumb went below the display but it maintained full response to the touch. Then while swiping i went completely below the display and was swiping with my finger well below the display, basically having no direct contact to the screen and swiping back and fourth above where the capacitive buttons are. It also does this in other apps like maps, browser, etc, where ever touch gestures are made.
Im guessing maybe there are developer api's to this area of the screen, so it can be used as an additional way to interact with the phone, ala bb playbook.
Don't think there are any APIs out there. I think I saw this somewhere else on the thread and they were saying that you'd need a custom kernel to use it?? But yeah they have it there because it's cheaper to share the digitiser for the capacitive buttons. I know there was a ROM for ICS that let you swipe the bottom to unlock.....
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yeah, some of us knew this. Cm9 used it to put an invisible menu button to the right of the recent app button. I didn't much care for the option, but it still was cool.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Doesn't work for me

Yep, I know this as well.
There is something called "Sweep2Wake" which when you swipe across the capacitive buttons, it wakes/puts the device to sleep. Pretty nifty if we can get that implemented via kernel.
Yea MIUI v4 did the menu key next to the recent apps key thing. I realized this 4 hours after flashing the ROM lmao
Hi all,
I was looking for a replacement Spen for my Note 8 but couldn't find any good (mostly the offset was unacceptable). Then I found a video where some guy (I can't find the video right now. If you know it please post a link and I will add it here) had a great idea of putting Note's 3 Spen inside old ordinary Uniball pen. With that in mind I bought Note's 3 Spen and found few old pens laying around in my office.
Three hours of work and this is what I got:

What I used:
1 x Old BIC pen
1 x PCB push button
1 x Note 3 Spen
some isolation tape
some paper
some plastic part that I used as a distance inside the pen (Spen was shorter than BIC pen)
Things to keep in mind:
Be careful for your stylus! Mine got stuck twice and getting it out was pretty tricky.
Use your tools wisely. You don't want to brake the Spen or cut/puncture your own hand!
I was successful doing this homemade "spen holder" but I am not responsible for any damage or problems that may arise when you try to do something similar. Always use your brain and be sure you have enough knowledge before you start to work.
I thought one might use this idea if you need accurate and nice stylus in "full" size.
PS
One can of course close the pen and then it looks just like ordinary one. The blue tape is just for my information that this one is actually Spen as I am using identical pen for normal paper writing and drawing
Impressive work, love DIY projects
Nice project and very good idea, i will defiantly try something similar because i got used to write a lot on my note 8.0 and spen is not that comfortable for longer usage.
why cant i think of this... good idea my friend... going to get one... hahaha... kind of tired writing with the current spen... going to use the old note 1 spen to try modding the pen...
what's the PCB button for? to activate the s-pen button?
