Hello, please find attached MS Tag Reader beta, which works OK with HD2, and does not suffer from the following issues:
- green box during camera initialization
- rotated camera preview
thanks mate...it working nicely
omg this is impossible. someone actually fixed microsoft tag? after a year of using it for multiple devices.... lets see if this actually works
This guy is a genius. Microsoft tag, that doesnt show camera correctly on any windows mobile device, for the first time works...

Where did you get it from, did you edit/fix it yourself.?
Actually, I had sent them an ordinary bug report, but thanks to the favorable star constellation I received almost instant reply with kind request of beta testing. So, after their development storm and my checks of a few more versions, I was satisfied with the one posted in the first post, and reported it back as working OK with the HD2.
The whole thing took about two hours only, but I was as surprised as you are now with its result
Well I downloaded it a few days ago from gettag.mobi and it works fine? The image is mirrored but no green box or anything.
That's quite possible. After testing, MS has asked me for proper user agent strings for HD2 phone - so I assume that this version has already became official and can now be downloaded from their site. At the time I first posted it here you couldn't get it anywhere else, as it was a fresh build.
EDIT - I read your response wrong. So you're saying that with official version, the image is still rotated? Then please try the version in the first post. Also, camera green box (initialization error) may or may not occur to you - I think it may also depend on ROM version or installation of the HTC camera hotfix.

hi thanks for your post...u r a fantastic guy.... i think he shld use ur cab for the installation rather than from mobi site....
No problem.
I'm glad I could help.
thanks for sharing
thanks czbird.
I have been searching for this for some time, posted of forums and emailed tech support of both parties, but neither MS nor HTC have offered a solution.
Obviously my constellations are less favourable than yours.
Lets hope they admit to a solution soon. So far as I can see they do not have a versioning system nor any build news on their download site.
Tag Reader problem
Hi,
When I open the new version of Tag Reader my soft key choices are [left-history] + [right- menu], yet the reader requires you to click 'enter' to complete the read/scan. I can't find an enter option.
What am I doing wrong guys?
Got email from Microsoft Tag Team a couple of days ago to say that they now have a new file to download.
I created this tag which when i just tested, identified my phone and offered to download the cab file.
Tag works fine for me. Jumps to the link as soon as the tag is within the photo boundaries. Automatic, no need to press anything.

You may have a wrong version, for a phone with a keypad. On my HD2 I have never had to click anything to read a tag. As soon as it gets into the right area in the picture, the tag link is launched.
Many thanks! The official dl wasn't working for me, but the link in the OP worked like a charm.
i downloaded the latest version from MarketPlace (v3), it doesn't work. It can't initialize the HD2 camera.
disappointed.
I got the new version from gettag.mobi, and guess what? It still has screen rotation issue. What gives?
So, you're claiming you sent a bug report to Microsoft, and then they immediatly called their entire mstag development team and created a new beta within 2 hours? Very believable. And I seriously doubt microsoft would just send beta's to random people. Well not completely random, but still.

Try a soft reset. My camera often won't initialise if i have had too many programs open.
I've just got the latest tag and it works, but has that stupid screen rotation problem, so I will have to revert to v2.
EDIT: If you go to gettag.mobi and find the file by manufacturer HTC and then the HD2. It downloads a file called TagReaderR90.0409.cab which is the one you need.
However, that then comes up with message The camera on your phone could not be accessed - 80070037.
A soft reset clears it and the Tag reader now works properly on my HD2.
Unbranded HD2 running latest ROM update from HTC, with CoOkies home tab 1.7.1, and Advanced Home Tab 2.2.3
is there an updated version, v1 available for HD2, the released out of beta version still does the inverted video problem.
update: ok just read hx4700 comment, will try out his instructions.
update 2: for the first time from Microsoft and not an xda developer, MSTag for the HD2 works perfectly. thanks hx4700

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....?!
Hi all,
From yesterday MusicID is no longer working.
I got the following result after it analyses music
Track: Ugrade Now!
Artist: Get Shazam
I got an upgrade link that leads me nowhere (this is not possible to go any futher).
Anyone knows why?
I visited www.shazam.com put there are no WM version available. But there are RIM, iPhone, Symbian, Android,... versions...
Any MusicID alternative? (I know that Samsung developped a similar application, available with the new i8000 Omnia 2)
Thx in advance for your help.
Still working for me
I hadn't used it in awhile, so I fired it up after reading your post.
It could be the version you have installed. Someone said that at least one of the versions was tied to a particular persons account, so that account could at some point stop working, but that's just a theory.
I'm using 1.3.16_QVGA by Lepsyfou.
try www.musicid2.com

Just follow this link: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/08...app-ported-for-all-windows-mobile-phones.html
This app is even better than Shazam as you can sing or hum a song in order to find the author name and the title of the track.
It works just perfect on my Touch HD!!!
Great find!
The UI fits the HD much better too. The reg edit to make it work from the phones data connection as well as wifi is a bit annoying, but worth the small hassle
Thanks for the update Dino.

HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???
thanks in advance.
You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.
I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........
Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!
The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.
Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?

You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.
The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.
Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.
I cannot find the new version anywhere!
If anyone has a link or would like to email it to me that would be very much appreciated!!

I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version . Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues , will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.
So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!
I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.
I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.

Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine
I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.
have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

If you overwrite the ModelID with the file provided, you are effectively telling your phone that you are now....a...tmobile hd2.
The swype keyboard has protection in it...only a tmobile hd2 will work with it.
hence why you need the modelid
now here is the kicker...
Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...
when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.
in short, bad things happen.
And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...
which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...
any questions?

@leepriestenator, if I don't use any provider software, I can install swype without any problem right ?
leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.
Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.
Anybody got it working? I have the T-mobile USA HD2, and I tried installing the program in main memory and memory card(different times of course). When I start up the program, it gets to the main screen of the program and then crashes right out. Saying something about sending info to MS for the crash.

I second this. happens on my HD2 on all roms so far.

It's a small program, and free, can you email it to me? [email protected] (exactly like that with the spam in it).

I tried it and it didn't not work for me until I updated it to the newest version. I use the program to download programs from Freewarepocketpc from time to time and they have a link to the newest version
I finally got mobiletag to work. Does it autofocus and lock in focus? ALl mine seems to do is go from focused to unfocused. BUT someone it'll read the barcode.
I'm using the elegancia rom and i-nigma works perfectly fine for me.
mobiletag is OK. just that it takes like 5-10 tries before I can get it to read a barcode.
I need to get one of the others (barcode scanners)to work.

Ive sent the email
Version 3.03.01 works fine on my HD2. In the About page it states that it is for the HD2
Thanks. Yup. The version that works is that one. Just dont have it do the update. As that fails once installed.
The camera works the same way mobiletag. Its out of focus, then goes in/out of focus and then somehow reads the barcode. I would figure it would autofocus to get the clearest photo, but I guess it reads the photo "live" and reads the barcode in teh split second it's in focus.
So far I think Mobiletag is the most interesting as it pulls multiple online locations to show prices. Doesn't seem to take any local stores (I'm in hawaii), so I dunno if the gps location works.
Drawback is it takes forever to get a tag read.
The i-nigma looks "cleaner" for the photo screen, still takes a few tries to get a barcode read(not as much as the Mobiletag) but then it asks you what you want to do. look it up on Amazon or something else, then it loads your browser to that page. So it seems more basic.
thing is, as it says on the website, you can go to i-nigma.mobi with your device to get the correct version automatically. worked fine for me every time.
It work well with me

I confirm a silly bug: if you go to i-nigma.mobi you get a cab that installs a flawed version, which closes right after starting it... if instead you download it from thre "mirror download" at freewarepocketpc.net then you get a version that works on the HD2.

Good tip, I now have i-nigma running.
Problem now is it won't read a barcode on my HD2. If I manually enter a barcode it searched Google.com or Amazon.com, so how do you get it to search other countries, such as co.uk ?
Mine is working too ..... I downloaded at pocketfreeware ...... btw is there anywhere to decode the BlackBerry QR code ?????

ok, so no one knows, how bout this....does anyone know how i can take the jetcet print 5 off my old touch pro and then install it onto my tp2?
Hi Tregrad,
You could try CAB'ing one of the version found in the TouchPRO/Fuze OEM Repository.
I do suggest contacting Weksttek before going through the effort however so as to confirm that JETCET Print is compatible with the new Bluetooth implementation found on the TouchPRO2/Tilt2 and WinMO 6.5.x.
Cheers,

Here you go. Jetset Print 5 all in a nice little cab. I installed it on my TP2 (which it did install to the main memory) to check it out but I have no way to test it. Give it a spin and see if it works out for you. Hope this helps.

awesome PRB thanks a lot i really appreciate it!! I believe there is a 5.1 version out there but this will do just fine, again...... THANKS!
I looked all over the place for it but it costs money and it comes with teh phone so i didnt think i should have to buy it when i have phones that already have it on it.
wow having a real hard time setting it up. will try again later
As pointed out my earlier reply, certain versions of JETCET Print are not compatible with the new Bluetooth implementation (stack) that is present in WinMO 6.5.x and WinMO 6.1.21000+. The best approach to use would be to download the trial version and test it before hand - since it's the latest version.
Here's a link on the subject from about a year ago:

Yea i thought he would follow your advise because you posted as i was typing my reply & uploading the cab i found. I was unaware of the different versions for the new bluetooth implemintation. I did not create the cab I just found it. I was also unable to test the cab as i do not have bluetooth capability on my printer. You advice was probably the best course of action.
I browsed through their Online Support knowledgebase and discovered that there is a 5.4.1198 version floating around. I also noticed these KB articles which confirm my suspicion that earlier version will likely be problematic on new versions of devices:
4516: What Bluetooth stacks does JETCET PRINT support?
7813: What printers does JETCET PRINT v5.2.1059 support?
7839: The HTC HD2 and HTC Touch 2 with JETCET PRINT 5.4.1187 in ROM are unable to locate the PlanOn printer via Bluetooth. What is the problem?
