Kaiser and static navigation (GPSMode 2) - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development

For those why have no idea what I'm talking about, please ignore this. For those who have used their GPS a lot in WinMo and have used the registry hack to turn off "static navigation", please read on...
I think I may have found a workaround for this in Android but you need to be HaRET booting. I wan't to know if I was right (or wrong) and if you need to use the GPS first in WinMo for it to work. I also want to know if the workaround (if it works for you) survives if the phone is put to sleep for a period (like over the night).
Here's the (might be) workaround: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6383024&postcount=274

alarm bug??

Hello, i have the a problem in the wakeup alarm, when it turns on, it repeats himself like i had programed 4 or 5 alarms at the same time, and they begin all together. Anyone has this problem?
Note:its not the function repeat that is on

I experienced this problem with another PDA. This may happen after restoring a backup, if you already set an alarm.
This also happens if for some reason user notifications are not set correctly. This can be caused by conflicting software.
You can try to use some kind of program to manage user notifications to remove them. Pocket Mechanic, if memory assist me, will allow you to take a look at user notifications but I don't think it can also delete them.
I pinpointed the problem (or, at least, the problem I think is). Now, to someone else suggesting you a program to perform the task.
If no-one find a solution within the next month, contact me.
Ok... looks like I've been unlucky. After writing my answer to this topic, I experienced the same problem on my Artemis.
I don't know if there is a program to solve this problem, so I decided to write one.
It will allow you to add, edit and remove "user notifications".
"User notifications" are the "things" that allow Windows Mobile devices to run program when a specified event occurr or at a specified time.
The clock notifications have clock.exe in the command-line (Application).
Should you need, you'll find it at this URL:
http://www.swupdate.net/unedit/unedit.htm
I readied this program in something like 8/10 hours, so it may be full of bugs. I decline every responsibility for its use and/or misuse... but write me here if you find a bug. I'll try to correct it.

[App][BETA] Bluetooth profiler

Hello Everyone and welcome to the first program I provide to the community!
As we all know, a constant bluetooth connection drains your battery quickly.
Now what I've done here is a program, that toggles BT-Radio unter certain conditions
You can (at the moment) choose:
Enable BT when a call comes in
Enable BT when you place a call
Enable BT whe the phone is charging
If a condition is no longer valid, BT will be switched off, i.e. if you end
your call, BT Radio will be disabled again.
Requirements:-NET CF 3.5
Usage: Choose your options and select 'run and hide' from the menu.
This has got a hard coded smart minimize, as the program needs to run in background.
Settings are saved as you make them, there's no save button.
Please bear in mind, this is BETA.
It works for me so far and I hope for willing testers, so any suggestions for further
functionality or bug reports are welcome!
I've posted it under Blackstone because that's the device it's been developed and tested with.
Anyone who wants to install on a different device is fine with me, and as soon as it's stable I'll
post it on general level.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Thomas
P.S.: Pleeeeze don't call it 'App'
Important:
This programm will only work with devices that implement the MS-Bluetooth stack (such as the blackstone).
Widcomm driven devices (HD2 or HD Mini) will not work!
As soon as I find a decent way, to control the Widcomm stack from C#, I'll provide a version for this.
Changelog / Bugs
20/03/2010
BT switched off after a few sec on incomming call - FIXED
26/03/2010
BT stopped, when charging was completed - FIXED
Code for Charging detection was completely rewritten
BT stopped after a few seconds on outgoing call - FIXED
BT switches on late on outgoing call. Improved (not sure if I can get that any faster ).
Basic functions should be fine now.
Added function to permanently disable BT below a choosable Battery level (this is totally untested...).
The GUI has changed slightly (I'll sort out a propper GUI later).
XML settings file has been moved to application directory
background thread speeded up considerably (prog. still shows up with 0,0% CPU when running in B/G.
Found a tester with a touch diamond
31/03/2010
Build in debug option added
how to use it:
In the applications directory open the file BtProfilerSettings.xml with a suitable editor.
Somewhere in the settings node add the following line: <WriteLog>X</WriteLog>
Restart the program.
In your device's root directory you'll find a trace file per day, named '3132010BTProfiler_Debug.txt' (thats the one for today)
Please note, that entries are not necessarily in the exact order, as there are 2 separate threads, one dealing with System events and one polling data every second. Thats why entries may even occur twice.
01/04/2010
Code for BT Radio control rewritten, now uses direct P/I invoke instead of MS Shared Sources dll. Seems to be a lot quicker in enabling BT
08/04/2010
New version uploaded.
New functions:
Option to enable BT in discoverable mode
Enable BT for 60 seconds
Enable BT permanently
GUI changed to black (as this is BLACKstone...not Greystone )
I refrained from creating a fancy new GUI in order to keep the footprint in Memory small.
It is still beta, but apart from the HD2 issue we're getting somewhere.
enjoy!
Wishlist / ToDo
Option to enable BT for 60 seconds manually (for file transfer or other purposes) - DONE
Option to enable BT when the Dialer shows up to reduce response time on outgoing calls (not sure if this is still required..).
Scheduler to enable / disable BT.
Separate GUI from Worker Thread to get rid of the smart minimize and enable Autostart option (WIP).
It looks very useful to me, as I use HD with BT handset.
I will test it and let you know how it works for me.
Thanks!
EDIT: Quick Report:
At first call-in, it turns ON BT and handset correctly, but if I let the phone ring, it closes the BT after a few seconds. After that, in second call it does nothing.
At a call out, it does nothing (BT remains closed).
Thanks for testing and your patience!
The first issue was a bug (switching BT off after a few secs), fixed in the cab. Please uninstall and reinstall.
Second issue looks like the program was closed.
Whenever you bring it up, please make sure you use the 'run and hide' button from the menu, to send it to background properly.
Cheers,
Thomas
Tested new cab:
Incoming call works all the time, but it has two little problems:
1st. Since first ring until BT handset is ON, there is a delay of about 10-14
secs
2nd. After BT handset is ON, the ringing is passed only to the handset and
the device speaker is silent
At outgoing call, BT Profiler still not working (it is running in the background)
A step forward at least
The time it takes until a call is being transfered to the headset is something I can't influence and I think, that depends on the combination Phone/handsfree.
All I do (at the moment) is switching BT-radio on/off.
Second issue must be some setting I think. With my Jabra handsfree as well as my car kit the phone still rings. The software does not touch any settings.
Outgoing call works with me, but I admit, the delay until BT is switched on is a bit to long, which results from the event being fired a late.
For this one, I'll try to catch a different (earlier) event, which I already identified but this will be not before next week.
Agian, thanks a lot for your effort. I'll keep on developing this thing until it works as desired.
Please be patiend with me, I'm working in dev for some 20 Years now, but I'm just developing my skills in doing smart device software.
Cheers,
Thomas
I'll test this tool on my HD2. By accident I found your thread, hope I'll make more accidents like this! I will focus solely on turning bluetooth automatically on on USB connect (since thats the only time I use it).
edit: It doesn't seem to turn on bluetooth when I connect my USB cable and phone begins to charge.
Did you check, if the program ran in background?
Switching on BT when charging was my main focus bevor I started developing the program.
However, there will be a new version withing tihs week, fixing some bugs with the eventhandlers, so you may give it another try then

Np. Take your time.
New version is up
Please make sure to read the notes in post #2.
Sorry it took a while, but I had to rewrite the charging portion of the program. the managed libraries are not very good in power line detection, so I had to dig into API.
I tested it again. On incoming call it doesnt turn on bluetooth. On charging it doesnt turn on bluetooth. Maybe the way the Leo works is completely different from HD? Or could it be problem i hooked it up to my pc usb, instead of just a charger?
Umm....the current version is running on my HD as well as on a workmates Diamond since Friday and it behaves well, although the time gap before BT is switched on on outgoing as well as incomming calls is still to long (I'm looking for a solution).
This version should recognize USB PC as well as chargers of different kinds (actually tested with Motorola USB charger in my car and different USB Chargers) as long as they provide power, regardless of the battery state.
My HD is not on Stock ROM, but on an Energy ROM, so its 6.5, same as yours.
At the moment I'm working on a version, that can provide debug information in a tracefile, that's probably what we need to sort out why it's not working on your phone.
Hopefully that version will be up tomorrow.
For the time being:
Have you checked (Task manager) that the program still runs in background?
(silly question you got .NET CF 3.5 installed?
Thanks 4 your patience!
Well, its not really about patience. I mean, it's your tool, take whatever time you need. Since I'm using EnergyROM, I've got .NET installed aswell. Having a debug option is a good idea, maybe there's something I did with my phone (I've tried multiple bluetooth solutions to turn on bluetooth on charger-connect before, KixAss Bluepower for example) that causes your tool not to work.
For the time being debug should point us to the right direction. I will be flashing my Lep with new energy when GTX theme from ElCondor is released, NRG cooks it in his rom with Cookie, and I dont see any bug reports anymore (so I think that won't happen in 2 weeks..)
well, if I provide software, it should better work
Debug Version is up, HowTo in post #2.
Code:
13:46:58 App. startup, using settings:
13:46:58 OnChargingX
13:46:58 OnIncommingX
13:46:58 OnOutgoingX
13:46:58 OnBattLow Perc0
13:47:03 Charging finished
13:47:34 BT switched on
13:48:39 BT switched on
13:49:11 BT switched on
13:49:43 BT switched on
13:49:48 Charging finished
13:49:49 Charging finished
13:50:01 Device cradled
13:50:15 BT switched on
13:50:45 BT switched on
But, Bluetooth is not turned on. I also tried to actually look for my phone using a collegue's phone, but it just doesnt pop up on his display untill i manually turn BT on on my phone.
that looks like the HD2 simply is not responding to the BTon request, which I find a bit strange.
I reckon, Bluepower did not work for you either?
However, I've emailed the developer of Bluepower to check if he's willing to share his sourcecode with me.
Bottom line seems to be that I have to look for a different implementation to control BT Radio in Order to make it work on the HD2.
Bluepower didnt work for me neither, that's why was so happy initially to find your topic I've emailed the developer of bluepower over a month ago, no response so far.
Happy youre active!
I reckon he uses the same API as I do. Got no reply so far either.
Shame I don't have an HD2 but I'll see if I can find something in the API doc.
If BT Radio can be controlled by software, I should be able to find it.
Somewhere in the hardware interface layer I guess, as my ROM is based on Leo as well.

[Q] TouchLockPro setup guide for dummies?

Although I'm a fairly experienced WinMo user I was initially completely dumbfounded by TouchLockPro's setup UI. For some reason, after reflashing to Jackos ROM (after using DeepShining for a day - brand new TP2) values i know should be in some boxes on the Nav Sensor tab are blank and I have no idea what to put in them. The manual - what exists of it - is indecipherable to me in places and the Quick Setup guide on the web site is anything but.
I tried choosing the phone profile from the small dropdown box (to 6: 'HTC Rhodium (Touch Pro 2)') but even after resetting all the TLP settings to Defaults and trying again, I still can't get some things like the zoombar unlock features to work. (just can't get it to accept input to perform lock/unlock actions). The proximity sensor constantly reports -1 or 0 even though it's marked as enabled in the registry and obviously works because the screen blanks when I'm making a call (and turns on again as soon as I take it away from my head).
I really want to love this program and feel that it solves the problem I'm currently having (...no good device lock!) but I can't figure out how to configure it correctly to actually do what I expect of it. Anybody else who's run the gauntlet with the TLP setup interface care to give me some pointers or point me at a good setup tutorial?
Cheers
Chris

[Q] Complete Froyo Bundle - FRX06 - HELP!

I believe this should just be an additional post to the following thread:
HTC Rhodium: Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 -> Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 -> Android Development **Complete Froyo Bundle!!** FRX06 - "Stable" - Minor Fixes
but for whatever reason i cant post there. i have been a member of this forum for a long time but havent posted because ussually i can find everything i need by seraching. anyway to my question...
I have an old tp2 that im trying to turn into a wifi phone for a friend. i have followed the instructions presisely as insturcted in the first post of the above thread. the android os is fast it loads and everything works except wifi. i need the wifi to work so i can add the applications to make it into a wifi phone. any and all help would be appreiciated. the phione is a RHOD400. i have verified the correct startup and gone step by step several times to get it running. the wifi does work under windows mobo 6.5. if i goto settings-wireless & networks-Wi-Fi Settings i am able to enable he wireless but it just blinks scanning every couple seconds and doesnt find any networks. i have tried manually adding the networks and i have completely removed all security from the network to make sure that isnt causing the issue. i have tried it on multiple routers and it never sees nor can it connect with manual configuration. i am running out of ideas. PLEASE HELP! thanks in advance
i have the following problems with froyo android os.
1. the command line in startup text file acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=614400 ore set acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=614400 wont work. it wil say problem in command line 1.
2 the buttons led wil keep on lighting all the time not funny if you want to sleep.
sorry for my bad english im dutch.
there is your prob.
Things broken in this build:
BT - fails completely - fix is in the works.
WEP on wifi doesn't work. I heard an app called 'wifi-ace' (on the Market) fixes WEP!
3.5mm for RHOD400/500
There's a lot of other things that will break at random, I know I list it as stable - but it's not really. Hence the reason it's in quotations.
at the moment gingerbread camera wil only work in dark places if too mutch light get in it wil crash. the other sad part is that is got a lots of SoD. wil try it with g3 off. heard that wil fix it. wil also go back at froyo build. if some one find froyo build nice plz also try gingerbread. realy nice looking.
keep up the good work

1. this setting goes in "set cmdline" line, not on a line by itself.
2. the button lights stay in whatever condition they were in when Android started. Don't touch the buttons, let them turn off in Windows, before starting Android.
In my patched kernel the button lights work correctly.

[Q] Magnetometer issue - updated

Hi guys,
just came back from me business trip and realized that.. I have posted something totally useless.
So I came back, with the same request, but properly explained.
All the threads I read are about Galaxy or other phones....
I have and issue with my Desire HD. There is a strange problem with the magnetometer. I took me a while to find out that is connected to it, because.. sometimes by screen just remains blocked. There is no response from it to touch. After some seconds (between 1 and 20), it works. But, the compass is not working (if I check with some sensor application it says that magnetometer is not present.
Sometimes, the best workaround is to disable screen rotation (that is also somehow strange to me, as I don't really see the connection).
After a factory reset (install new ROM, etc), everything is OK until I use the GPS the first time.
So, the questions now:
1. As the sensor works (sometimes for days), I expect to be a 'software' problem. How do I manually reset the magnetometer? I have read that for Galaxy (for example), you can do that by getting in some hidden factory menu...
2. Is it posible to disable the sensor totally? I would not like to do that, as I would like to have the screen rotation, but it can be handy to be able to enable/disable it.
P.S. MAybe an admin can delete this thread (I have created the new one just because the old one.. is way back...hope this does not come against any rule)
