All About Gigabyte GSmart i120

Hi there!
Does anyone here uses the GSmart i120 from Gigabyte?
If so, I've got alot of questions about it.
I'm so used to using a phone with a numeric keypad, Like Nokia to compose SMS using one hand.
Now that I have this GSmart i120, I thought it works the same as a Nokia when typing SMS using the keypad..But I was wrong.
It has this input thing called "Smart Keypad" which is not so Smart as I find it really dumb and stupid.
It lets you type in the text or characters using the keypad alright, but it has this lag or wait time that is really slow that you have to wait maybe 1.5 seconds just to be able to type-in the next character. and if you press another key, then it will type-in the letter or character of that key.
I've found this CAB file for the Phone Pad from another PPC-Phone device (i forgot where it was extracted from) and it sort of works like a Nokia keypad when typing SMS. but it uses the touch-screen LCD. what I'd like to do is maybe modify that CAB file so that it will instead MAP the numeric keypad of my device.
So, my question is can anyone help me in finding a solution to this?
I Have here the code to MAP the hardware keypad, but i don't know how to do it and integrate it with the Phone Pad.
Paste the following code into a module, and call in in the form_load as follows:-
Dim messageWindow As Hwbuttons.hwMessageWindow
Me.messageWindow = New Hwbuttons.hwMessageWindow(Me)
RegisterHKeys.RegisterRecordKey(Me.messageWindow.H wnd)

Also, the phone has a TV-recording function, but it records only in 3GP instead of the more decent Mpeg format. Can anyone also help me out with this? I'd sure appreciate it! Thanks.
And also, I think the device doesn't support or doesn't have the AVRCP Bluetooth profile, is there a Hack or a CAB file that I can download so I can have AVRCP support on the GSmart i120?

hello !!
i also use i120 ! can you find a solution for it???

Help hiding window in VB.NET

I'm trying to hide the incoming call window, but it's not working.
I declare the functions
Public Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "Coredll" (ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal iVisible As Integer) As Boolean
Public Declare Function FindWindow Lib "Coredll" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As IntPtr
Then call
ShowWindow(FindWindow("", "Phone - Incoming"), 0)
But the window is still there. And yes the window title is correct. I've been trying to debug for over an hour. I don't get any errors it just doesn't work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Auto Link back to a form

Hi guys,
Anyone know how to do this:
I open Form2 when a button is clicked on Form1. To return back to Form1 I have a button to do so on Form2. However, is it possible to return back to Form1 automatically after Form2 has displayed for a set amount of time - lets say 2 seconds? This way I could do away with the button on Form2 - which is my goal.
Thanks much, magohn

Drop a timer from the tool box on to Form2 and set its interval to 2000 (2 sec). Then insert the following code into the Form.Activated() and Timer.Tick() events
private void Form2_Activated(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.timer1.Enabled = true;
}
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.timer1.Enabled = false;
this.Close();
}

Thank you SO much...

Thanks again stephj - I modified your code a little as I needed Form2 to be "re-useable" and repro the same action over and over. Thanks!
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Timer1.Enabled = False
Me.Hide()
Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub
Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub

I did think afterwards that my example was a bit resource hungry as the Form.Close() method actually destroys the form rather than 'deactivate' it. I threw it together as a quick test, just to prove the point.
Glad it all works.

Hook Volume Keys in .NET

Hi,
I try to install a Keyboard Hook to get volume key presses in .NET 3.5.
But it fails. Does someone know how to do it?
This is my VB .NET code:
Code:
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Delegate Function HookCallback(ByVal nCode As Integer, ByVal wParam As IntPtr, ByVal lParam As intptr) As Integer
Public Class Form1
<MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.FunctionPtr)> _
Private callbackKeyboard As HookCallback
Private Shared hHookKeyboard As Integer = 0
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
If hHookKeyboard.Equals(0) Then
callbackKeyboard = New HookCallback(AddressOf KeyboardHookProc)
hHookKeyboard = WinApi.SetWindowsHookEx(WinApi.WH_KEYBOARD_LL, callbackKeyboard, WinApi.GetModuleHandle(Nothing), 0)
If hHookKeyboard.Equals(0) Then
MessageBox.Show("Keyboard Hook Failed:" & vbCrLf & hHookKeyboard.ToString() & vbCrLf & Marshal.GetLastWin32Error(), "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)
End If
End If
End Sub
End Class

glad to claim not vb knowlege at all but I can advice you to search
for c# solutions as everything which can be don in c# can be don as
far as I know in vb.net even if the syntes is horrid
thing is most people who you want to get advice from would never
use vb but if you read their stuff you can with a bit of skill convert it
from c# to vb.net even if it makes baby jesus cry

Well, this Code is inspired by C# code from here.
I know that most .NET developers use C# and not VB so I searched for C# code too. I've already used keyboard hooks in desktop apps but this does not work for .NET CF.

Very strange, I tried the same code in C# and it worked!
So I'll write my app in C#

Whatever language you have written the code in should not make any difference. Take the C# generated .EXE file or .DLL that works, and load it into RED GATE's .NET Reflector.
http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/
A freeware download, just agree to the disclaimer etc.
Load your program in it and navigate down until the code appears in the main window. It will show you the C# code that was used to create it. It won't know the variable names but it will replace them with int1,int2,string1,float1 etc.
Here's the clever bit, use the drop down box to switch the language to VB, and it will display the VB code to do the same job. You should be able to spot the difference in the code compared to your own VB original.
