where to put a software development request? - General Questions and Answers

i have this anoyance that could be alleviated by a bit of software for my winmo 6.1 htc touch diamond phone. i even think more ppl share the anoyance. i cant find a solution already made. which forum should i use to ask for it?
what i need is a onscreen keyboard replacement/add-on that can enter preconfigured string with a single tap on the screen, like my e-mailaddress or other frequently used txts
thanks for your kind directions

Opera Mini Text input problem!

Hello guys, I am new to this forum. I have searched for an answer to my problem already, but couldn`t find any. I have downloaded opera mini for XDA Orbit 2 (same as Touch Cruise). I used the HTC Touch download for it, as a HTC Cruise option was not available...I like it alot, its a fast browser, but how can I put text into the address bar without a hardware keypad? I guess its a simple answer to a stupid question, but I have no access to my software keypad once opera is started. Only option is: "Add symbol" and that is very unconveniant...
Thanks in advance, pTx
I was having this problem in my rokr E6 before and i fix it doing the folowing step.
go to setting and (uncheck the direct address input) and it will be ok
*yawn*
I've answered this question too in my MIDlet Bible... please DO USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION EITHER HERE OR IN THE BLOG!!!
In a nutshell: assign bringing up the SIP to a HW button and you're set...
Thank You! Your nutshell helped.
Actually I did use the search function, but as You probably know yourself, sometimes the search term is not 100% fitting->thus no success. I tried several with no answer at hand. Sometimes not so easy for non-native speakers...This may explain my question. If no one would ask questions or no one would answer them the forum would be pretty empty, wouldn`t it? If You think this question has been posted tons of times, You may delete the thread anyway.
Greetings from Magdeburg, Germany, pTx

Input > auto suggest = useless?

With my TyTN = Hermes and WM6.0 the autosuggestion of words seems much better than the Raphaels (at least in the hardware keybord stance).
Can someone explain why that is or if I have haven´t understood the utility or something else right?
With TyTN it basically suggests 4 alternatives in a diagonal way, it can be one word or SEVERAL words in a row, depending on what I´we written before. And you choose from them with the upp and down arrow keys. Simple and quick.
With Raphael it suggests several ONLY singular words horisontally, and if it´s not in the dictionary it automatically chooses another word than the one you´we just written (!?). Slow and awkward.
Also - who is behind this solution? Windows Mobile 6.1 or is it HTC Raphaels unique solution?
Thanks in advance
/Danne
Anybody have an opinion or information on this matter?
At least the system is a part of WM6.1 or if it´s Raphaels unique solution? Because I´m thinking about buying a Kaiser with WM6.1 instead and wonder if it has the same solution.
Sorry, no additional info, but I'm in the same boat so to speak.
I find it completely useless, specially since I don't always use English in my SMS messages, and I found that it becomes a nightmare if it doesn't find a match and then forces my word to something it thinks it should be.
What I cannot understand is that under Settings-Personal-Input-Word Completion - I have DISABLED it, but it still friking tries to complete my words, even in keyboard mode???
Do you know of another place to disable this dastardly excuse of a feature?
HAH!
Found it! If you want to disable it completely, the do the following:
1) make sure you disable it under settings - all settings - personal - Word Completion.
2) When you open a new message, bring up the virtual keyboard and look for the button that reads "ABC T9" - it has a toggle on the button, make sure it is on "ABC" and NOT T9 -voila!
Now I can SMS again!
I´m glad I was not the only one being irritated about this. But at least it´s possible to turn it off, so thanks for posting the solution Piie
I actually returned my TP because of this and severeal other reasons but I´m thinking about buying it again or some other WM6.1 phone. So do you know if your solution to turn if of works with Word Mobile documents as well?
And still, if somebody knows if it´s part of Raphael or WM6.1, please let me know.
Agreed 100% on the uselessness of word completion feature on the TP. On mine, the T9 feature actually slows the sms application so much as to make it completely unusable. This is probably my biggest complaint with this device.
Yip, following the steps as posted also removes the predictive text completely for Word ( and all other apps I have used so far)...
Thanks piie
I believe its part of the TP keyboard (SIP) not WM6.1 , when i had my kaiser with wm6.1 this "IRRITATING" issue was not there, but when i installed the diamond keyboard on my kaiser, this thing came out...... now its part of the TP because of its keyboard.......... so its HTC
I was getting annoyed with the behavior described in posts 1 and 2, disableds the whole thing too (I had an Excalibur before and it seemed to work far better on this particular aspect).
However, I decided to give the TP's T9 another shot and started changing it's configurations and finally got rid of the annoiance related: when on a text field, bring up the T9 options by pressing "Fn" + "Space", select "T9" settings and on the screen that appears uncheck the "Spell Correction" and "Auto-substitution" boxes.
Now I'm using the word prediction (T9) again just like I used in my old device, tipying much faster! (specially because I commonly write in portuguese and my keyboard is the UK one...).
Hope this helps you guys.
Cheers.
Sweet!
So you can still have predictive text, but remove the actual "irritant" of it overriding your word if it doesn't match it's dictionery - seems like that is the answer to your problem Danne?
For me - I really don't care for ANY kind of prediction - most often than not, even in English, the suggestions are maybe 30% usefull if that...
Great!
Yes, this is solution and now I know it´s part of Raphael/Diamond and not WM6.1!
Still, the Hermes WM6-solution with prediction of several words based on what you previously have written seems better. But I am happy with this!
I guess that´s the last words for me in this discussion.
Thanks guys!
just wondering how to disable word completion without installing htc ezinput, because at input settings by disabling it, doesn't work at all.
here's everything you need to know on how to get back to the old style autocorrect and change your dictionaries: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1527
That however breaks your hardware keyboard
sym key will stop working and you can't get pound and euro sign using FN key....

HTC Touch Pro
anyone have new programs for the HTC Touch Pro with windows 6.1 operating system... I am tired of those Fruity phones having neat programs and I don't...

Hello!
I have got the Xda Diamond (~HTC Diamond from o2 Germany) with Windows mobile 6.1
I´m studying at the Technological University of Berlin. To log on the local area network (eduroam) of the university, I need a VPN client. But there is no version working with WM6.1, I tried about three different clients (it always says, that ... is no win32-application)
For example that one (as recommended by the network administration of the TU Berlin):
http://www.tubit.tu-berlin.de/filea.../Windows_Mobile/SecureW2_EAP_Suite_112_CE.zip
Does anybody which client I should take?
Thank You for answering and greetings from Germany
Network storage application
I would like to have an application that could convert my micro-sd card into a network storage, being able to access this folder through my home lan. It would be similar to WM5torage but for WiFi (not usb).
Please note that I'm NOT asking for a way to access a network folder in my PDA (the usual reply I get). I already know how to do this with total commander. What I want is a way to create a shared folder inside Windos Mobile, that I can access from my computer through my home network.
TIA.
Visual Voicemail
I think that Visual Voicemail is a place where Windows Mobile is lacking compared to the iPhone.
It would function by receiving emails with mp3/wav attachments from online voicemail services such as Youmail. It would cypher the information from the email and provide information for that voicemail.
There is a discussion on the topic right now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260
A developer has started toying with it but NEEDS help!
Thanks everyone!
Hi
Im using Imate Jam (Magician).
I want a software which turns my ppc into an answering machine i-e it can automatically reply/block sms and accept/reject/hang/answer calls based on predetermined rules. The software should also have the capablity of scheduling text messages and then sending them out smoothly.
Ill be extremely grateful if you help me out and provide such software.
If such software already exists please pardon me and tell me where to get it.

MOD EDIT 2: User is looking for something that supports wm 2003
i think my request would be somewhat easy to accomplish, but as im not so technically inclined (and somewhat too lazy to really try), ill ask here....
....what im looking for is a way to have area code matching on my Kaiser, or on Windows Mobile phones in general.....what i mean is like, when i receive or place a call, once the number is dialed, it shows the state corresponding to the area code i've dialed.....i know my old Samsung A920 did this, along with some other Samsung and Sanyo phones, and i think it would be great for WinMo....
Yet another think XDA's lack is a Myspace app. Maybe we can get something rolling like this facebook app that is being created???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455263
Please back me up if you would like to see an app like this.
A "visual voicemail" app for diamond and other ppc phones that can record phone calls
as some of you may already know the diamond can record both sides of a conversation during a phone call using the notes application.
I read in another forum where someone was asking about visual voicemail and since sprint charges for forwarding calls there is no good option.
I was thinking maybe if there was a developer willing to give it a go to develop a "visual voicemail" application that would answer the phone after a user defined amount of rings,
Record the message while muting the phone's mic of course that way you don't get background noise from your own phone and then save it in mp3 or wav.
Then have it give you the phone number the time, date and the option to listen to the message either with a built-in player or with windows media.
To give you a visual of what i'm talking about if you've seen the visual voicemail app on the samsung instinct something like that but everything is done on the phone side.
Hopefully someone will agree that this would be a useful program and give it a shot.

Jeyo Mobile Companion alternative and HTC Phone pad Upgrade
Well my request wouldnt be new anymore but i still want to pursue it if ever a developer would make it,
a jeyo mobiler software like, that can manage your text messages from the pc, send, recieve and read text messages from the pc and lastly a decent back up process that could backup even if ur message is over 160 characters (1 message line) jeyo has a screw up on the back up process coz, it shortens a text message fixed to 160, so if your text message is 165, if jeyo is to back it up it will only store a 160 char message back up. you lost the data. I need to back up morethan 5000 messages and most of which are over 160 character.
another request would be a newer version for HTC phone pad input..
this input application ROCKS! its like using a cellphone keypad over your pocket pc. so texting wouldnt be so much of a problem if your walking or something. the modification i would like to ask is character deletion from 2 character to one and higher WM version compatibility, as I tried it before, phone pad had issues with WM6.1.
alarm sound on vibrate/silent?
in some ROM's there is an option under "more" in clock & alarms that allows you to enable the alarm sounding when on silent or vibrate. does anyone know of a CAB that you can install that will add this feature without downloading the whole ROM'?
VGA Backgrounds
Looking for a VGA background using orange & blue and/or the Florida Gators, University of Florida, UF, Gators... you get the idea. If not familiar with what shades of orange & blue... see examples of the latter.
I use TF3D, so I'm not looking for full out themes- no TSK files please.
Is there an application to delete a file && is there an application to run commands like dos batch??? my target is to make an installing cab that on the next startup start an application and then delete the file started or the link to the started application

Shortcut to Lock Screen

I was wondering ( and I have done a search first ) if there was a way to initiate the windows lock screen where you have to input a pin. I wanted to be able to add a shortcut to the menu to lock the phone so that the pin has to be entered rather than waiting for it to time out. I am guessing its going to be one of those simple requests that is actually quite hard to do.
Specifically I am using an HTC TyTn II with WM6.1
Many thanks
Check this thread
I guess the easiet way would be to write a few lines of code similar to what this user has done. Ofcourse...writing code is a different ball game altogether. If your device was running on WM6....I think this would be exactly what you'd be looking for.
Hope this helps.
Wow, actually this seems to work under WM6.1
Thank you so much for pointing this out to me...
Actually, I am looking for something like that too. I need a simple StartMenu shortcut for my Omnia II (i8000) to just lock my screen on demand (with WinMo default lockscreen).
Anybody knows, what the system file is, that executes device lock?

larger qwerty keyboard

is there a landscape qwerty input type available that has larger keys?
Resco's Keyboard is Full Screen when in portrait mode. All keyboard vary in functionality. I personally like EzInput because of its simplicity. Other keyboards seem to throw too many options and stuff in there to please everyone.
Simplicity is the reason why the iPhones SIP keyboard is considered awesome (plus the compacitive screen)
I'm very new to the world of Windows Mobile, (i used to work with android/iPhone OS)
It's probably a stupid question, but how do i install EzInput?
Thanks in advance!
read 2nd answer
My diamond2 is 6.1, so it doesn't have EzInput.
Do you have a link/tutorial to flash it to 6.5?
Stupid questions don't exist mate Everyone has to start from the beginning. A good beginning is the search option and the wiki, that's how i learned a lot.
Now to get back to your question, look here for a lot of info on ezinput as well as other keyboards:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534678&highlight=ezinput
Thanks for the help.
I searched already on this forum / on the internet, but I didn't find any clear posts.
I'll try those links
I think I installed EzInput now, but I don't see any change of the keyboard...
Do I have to change a setting or something else?
(Do you have a link where I can see/read how to flash 6.5 on my diamond?)
I guess yours came default with that.
Well ofcourse i've got a link for you but first...
A quick guide:
Select your phone here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Read everything you can find about flashing cooked rom's, radio's and hardspl
The choice of your radio is very personal, it's different for each country but very important 'cause it basically give you good signal
The choice of the cooked rom is very personal. Some put speed over graphics whilst others like it the other way around
It's very important and the first step of flashing to start with HardSPL'ing your device. If you don't start with that you won't be able to do anything with 6.5
After that you can choose your rom and read all the info that the cook (a rom builder) has provided for the users, there are quite some differences and things to know and learn about roms in these posts. To install a rom you need CustomRUU (installer) and some even support flashing from your microsd card.
The last part is to always hard-reset your device after you've completed 1 of the 3 basic steps. Be aware that you'll loose all the data on your phone, it's basically to turn i to the first point after you've installed the rom. So don't start installing things right away...first try a few roms 'cause you might like another one better.
Last but not least, the radio, well my friend you'll just have to read about it 'cause it depends on your region etc. That one can be flashed after you've done the first 2 steps and it basically goes the same way as flashing a rom. But first things first...start your search for hardspl!
I've taken all these steps for example from the topaz. Some devices might have other routines,...i focus on my device only, 'cause otherwise it's just too much info.. and all the info that's on this forum might be confusing at first (let's face it, there's a lot of info.) But nevertheless, my experience is that people are willing to help others here. There's a solution for everything here, if you know how and where to look.
Start reading and have fun...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open up your standard keyboard (in SMS for example), click on the small arrow next to the middle keyboard icon and go to "Other input options".
EzInput should be listed there, select it and youÆre good to go!
If you wish to set EzInput as default keyboard, even after restart of your device, use SIP change application. Remember to set the time-delay to 40-50 seconds!
