Technical or Software problem

Hey,
I have had a vox for over half a year now and I was using the new OS from HTC.
Recently I had to reflash my phone because it was having a number of issues. The enter key on the front keypad would not work. It would handomly turn the bluetooth on. The screen would not be bright while I was using it (the standy dim lighting).
The enter key on the slide out keyboard does work.
After the reflash everything worked great. Now I have used the phone for a week and this starts happening again. Sometimes restarting will get rid of these problems, but it still seems to be there.
I tried to update to Dr. Gonzo's 6.1 ROM, but I was unable to flash that one, I got an error saying the ROM is corrupt.
Do you think this may be a hardware problem?
Please let me know what you think,
Thanks,
GRoder

which ROM are you currently using?
Did you USPL the device before flashing WM6.1 ROM?
that is a necessary step.
Let us know after you flash doc's ROM.

And another one who didn't even care to read the readme or some threats...

hey hey, I did read both of the supplied read me files, however I'm sure sure that the updates UPL/SPL updates worked correctly. There is one step that I am unsure about.

yea I always use the search function in forums, why ask what 10 others have asked before.
I'm just curious if anyone has experienced a similar problem with their phone. I'm hoping this is not a hardware issue...

Nope, this is something for which people are opening a new threat every day, so I hope you can understand that I am a bit grumpy sometimes!

I will try it again tonight when I get home. I think it was the step where I had to run the *.bat file with all the promts...at the end the phone did not behave like it said in the read me so I think something may have gone wrong at that point.

Anyone got Paragon PenReader to work?

Hi guys!
I'm now a proud owner of the TD2 and I was searching for a fast and cool handwriting recognition SIP. So I found the two most popular: PenReader and CalliGrapher. But none of them seems to work on the new TD2. I can draw letters but nothing happens after that. It is if something wac blocking those apps. Could anyone help?

...Anyone??? Has someone tried that app already? (or something similar?)

I've been using MyScript (http://www.visionobjects.com/produc...pt-stylus/_137/myscript--stylus-pocketpc.html) because it is the only one I found that can decript my very bad handwriting. It works on Topaz.

What's wrong with the built in transcriber? Works fine on mine but I prefer the keyboard to be honest.

Could not have said that better myself, it looks better to and the long press on the smilies is nice too

It doesn't have a voice-input button on it, does it? If not, that's a deal breaker for me.

Does any 3rd party keyboard?
I have Smart Keyboard Pro and SwiftKey and they have no voice key.
Registered and got the email straight away!

I am the Senior QA Engineer at Swype. A voice-input button is a sorely missing feature for us too. We are looking at what it would take for us to integrate a feature like that, but we don't have any time frame for when that might happen yet. If you would like to see that feature developed more quickly, please give us feedback on the Swype Forums.

Go vote guys.

We get it, it is a feature you want... but please vote anyway so that we really know how important this is to you guys.

Thanks apparently i searched for the wrong thing haha.

i received the email and clicked the link from my phone but it doesn't recognize my device as an Android device. is this because i'm not using the Stock Nexus One ROM (e.g., i'm using a custom ROM)? thanks in advance for your answer.

Oh they made typing in landscape easier... Or more so better. I like it, and I never exactly hated it either.
Oh it seems they made typing without swyping easier altogether, I typed this entire post with swype. Good job! Loveee it..

So typing normally is better on Swype than on the original Android keyboard?

Hmmmm, send me a PM. I may not be able to get to it this weekend, but I'll see what we can figure out. I know why that might happen, but I'm a little surprised that you are experiencing that with a custom ROM.

We're working to improve that experience as well, but for obvious reasons, we tend to focus most of our efforts on Swypeability.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
I've been waiting forever for this!

I dont know if my opinion will matter, but im typing in landscape with very minimal mistakes, without even having to Swype! Im gonna go off a limb here and say this is definetly better the stock keyboard.
The bad thing is though, it doesn't have auto correction with just normally typing.. (big downer) but the accuracy is so good it can kinda be rarely needed. I believe that still should have been an inclusion.. Though.
Edit: yes it does looked in settings.. Lol

PM sent. thanks for responding.

Oh this is so awesome! Downloaded and installed without a glitch. Will start to try out typing on this.

i'm on CM latest stable, had 0 problems getting email, downloading, installing

Hmmm...
Have registered, got the email, got to the link...tried downloading but it's stuck with no data being transferred.
Anyone else experiencing this?
edit:
it downloads now...no idea why it didn't earlier...this version is much better than the ones released in the forum earlier... my default keyboard now

[Q] XDApp Lite

Who here has the XDApp lite working?
I have it cooked into my ROM and it will never work, ever. It tries to connect, gives it three attempts and quits. I'm envious to all Android OS owners who have it up and running on their devices.
Does anyone have it working on their windows mobile phones and if so have a .cab file? Or even a fix? Any help or advice is appreciated

Two things:
1.) Yes I am using the default skin. Do you know where to find other ones?
2.) When I find said skins how can I change it? Because I don't know where to find my data for that app, because as I said, it's cooked into the ROM.

no not on your phone im talking about on your computer scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen & on the left hand side should be a drop down menu click on it and it should say Quick Style Chooser with 2 skins to chose from 1 being the default skin & the other being the beta skin make sure you are using the default skin then on your phone try to login again to see if it works this worked for me

Nothing, I tried twice. I don't know what could possibly be the problem. I'm going to try to change the layout on my cellphone to see if that might fix it.

How exactly are you connecting to your Xdapp lite? Wifi or 3g?

im using wifi

Okay so that would make sense as to why that works for you. I'm going to try changing it on my phone, and if still nothing do you think disconnecting my data and using wifi would work?

im not to sure give it a try & see if it works that way for you

Okay, so no dice. I can't get on there still. Do you think you could talk to Sergio about looking into this? I mean if it doesn't inconvience you guys. I would like to get on without relying on wifi anyways.

I Tested It On Data Connection & It Still Worked Fine For Me
So I Did Some Digging Around To Try & Find The Info I Was Telling You About & Guess What I Found It And I Was Telling You The Wrong Procedure I'm So Sorry About That I Was Right About Changing The Skin But Was Wrong About Where To Change It At
Check The Post Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7183733&postcount=367
Here Are The Steps I Did And It Worked For Me The First Time I Tried It
Remember All This Is To Be Done On Your Computer Not Your Phone
1.Click On User CP
2.Click On Edit Options
3.Scroll All The Way Down To The Bottom Of The Page & You Will See Forum Skin Choose Xda-Dev Custom Template As The Skin Then Save Your Changes
4.Logout Then Log Back In
5.Now On Your Phone Try To Log In To XDApp Lite All Should Be Good Now If Not Then IDK Because This Worked For Me

Suhweet! I finally got it working! DD You guys at the Core Cell team should direct people that use your ROM to either this thread or give them some sort of directions in the Fixes part of your thread. Just a recommendation of course Thanks alot for the help I do appreciate it!

Thanks alot! haha I appreciate it.
Maybe someone else can pick up on this project and make it more user friendly haha I have no programming skills seeing as I'm 17 and the only C++ I know was a 10 year old curriculum I took in high school last year So I can't...but it'd be nice to see someone else take this up and make it better than it already is

Moved as not software release.

[Q] Archos 9

Hi! I just bought me an Archos 9 pctablet, I love it, but unbelievable, it can be even better! If it just got android.. So i wonder if it ANY chance to get android on this device? I would do anything for it!
Best regards Galaxxxy

I seem to recall a project to port android onto windows. Something similar to Puppy Linux where you put it all on a live cd, but you can also put it on a flash drive. Search for Android-x86 on google- they just released 2.2. Hope this helped!

thank you! But the touchscreen dont work.. does and do u know how to get android market via bluetooth to this thing?

Unfortunately, I do not have a solution to either of those questions. I do not actually own an archos 9. I myself, would check out the archosfans forums for a solution as well as here. Sorry I couldn't be of more service.
