Hello all,
bought Snap recently and enjoying it a lot, however there are some questions I was unable to find answers for. Could you guys please advise:
Why there's no ClearType (font antialiasing) turned on by default as on my HTC Vox (s710) - how can I turn it on?
REALLY annoying - unread emails and SMS are not displayed in bold! Is there a way to turn this on via registry/smth?
Major for me - I need Russian and Spanish input languages - how can I install them? I've installed some of found .cabs but they are likely for different phones as they mess up special buttons layout;
When I receive SMS, my screen does not lighten unlike on my Vox, is there a way to change it?
I was unable to get my GPS to work. Is there a way to test it not using Google maps to understand 100% if it's just faulty GPS module?
I can't get ActiveSync USB to PC mode to work under Windows 7 - it works only after I change it to DataTransfer mode. Is it a common issue?
I would be really grateful if the group can help with at least some of the questions. Thanks in advance!
OK, I found the Clear Type registry hack but the rest of the issues still remain. Can you advise on the rest of the list, please?
Thank you.
sorry wrong post
Anybody? I can't believe there are no experts using the phone.
Hi,
First of all, I am no expert, but I can indicate you that :
- My unread messages are displayed in bold, so you got to have an option to set.
- In the profile settings, you can set the type of alarm you want for each type of message ; screen light could be one of them
- you have plenty of programs that use a GPS ; look up any WinMo GPS app on this forum, it doesn't have to be designed for the Snap (any QVGA version will do). Try this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522915&page=3
I guess you could you a free app, for instance Bing Maps, to test you GPS receiver.
Sync under 7 : if it does work at the en of the day, what's your problem ?
I use tomtom for GPS, works great.
Hi there, i've found a few programs that are free for GPS. I tinker with them, when I question if mine is working and one is jst a must have program. They are; QuickGPS, WMMiniGPS, HTC GPS Tool, GPS Test, and GPS Nut. Like I said they're all free programs and QuickGPS, is probably on you ROM.
Good Luck

I know this question of satnav on the XDA has caused much gnashing of teeth, but I am trying to get TomTom5 working on a XDAII, WM 2003, using a TomTom wired receiver.
Everything works - and works perfectly, I might add - as it should EXCEPT I cannot change the basic defaults - e.g. home address. If I do, next time it reverts to the address previously used.
Equally, it will accept favourites, but not save them. Next time I fire it up any new entries are gone.
Can anyone suggest a way of changing these defaults?
Doubt this is a usefull reply ....
but it sounds like, where ever TomTom is writting to, to hold the Home and Favourite info ... is not staying put.
Is everything as it should be ? no missing files from folders ?
I thought that too, but as far as I can see everything seems OK as far as files are concerned. I am reluctant to use the restore factory settings button in case I do more damage. I can live with the default problem and enjoy the pleasure of a John Cleese sound alike!
But it would be nice to solve this problem.
Hi Frazer
you have to change the following file in your storage card\ Great-Britain-Map folder
Great-Britain-Map.cfg
to Great-Britain-Map.cfg.old
then start your tomtom and change you rhome address then you will able to store your home address
hope this help

Gugi, you're a genius. I owe you several pints if you are ever in deepest Yorkshire.
Your idea worked perfectly.
Very many thanks
Hello, I've read a few posts that mention a GPS control panel, one in particular gave a registry change to enable it, so I popped into the registry to turn it on, but it was already on.
My question is where is the GPS control panel? I've got TomTom on the way, so would be good if it worked!
I'm running the latest Imate ROM on my Wizard.
Cheers.
start-settings-connections tab.
Sorry, I should have said, 'why isn't it there', not 'where is it', but don't worry, I did a search and found the answer - the first registry tweak I read didn't tell me to delete the 'redirect' DWord. Deleted it and it's appeared.
Can anyone explain why it's not there by default and if it causes any problems by being hidden like this with installing GPS Devices and Navigation software?
Is there anything else hidden that I might want to turn on?
Cheers.
I own a Magician not a Wizard. I also have TT with original TT BT GPS receiver and it worked straight out of the box - no registry tweaks.

because it probably has no use with BT GPS systems. Its there because WM5 natively supports GPS systems that are built into the device, like the HTC Galaxy
Similar to GPS Gate
It's functionality (from what I've read) is supposed to be like "GPS Gate". The idea being you have one GPS receiver connected to your PPC, but you're able to "share" the GPS data with more than one application. I was only able to get it work properly with ONE piece of software (Mapopolis). You do not need it to run TomTom. I'm not sure why it doesn't work with other applications though. If I were you, I would not mess with it.
Hi folks,
Is it possible to have wifi and bluetooth enabled with a tap from the homescreen instead of having to use stupid comm manager for the wizard? I searched around everywhere in this discussion board, but search came up empty. Forgive me if this question has already been asked.
Many thanks.....
Best way I know to do this is use PhenAlarm (google it), takes up a little today screen real estate but its a great little app.
thanks...
i already have that software (phonealarm) and i managed to find just one skin that suits me (i.e. has bluetooth, wifi, missed calls, voicemail, however its missing the headset icon). anyhow, thank you for the suggestion, i was hoping that was a hack to it. For eg, treo 700w does have a bluetooth toggle icon on the homescreen by default.
see my thread over at hofo.

thank youuuu

hey,
thanks buddy. excatly what i was looking for. now, i just need another switch for wifi, any luck on finding that?
bittermon,
I tried your program and the bluetooth toggle works perfectly. Unfortunately the wifi toggle does not. When i try using the pre-made shortcut, it says "no compatible wifi found." When i make my own icon it doesn't do anything at all.
btw i have the cingular 8102 with the latest official rom. I also have wireless g mode activated. Any ideas?

Hi,
I have a Touch HD since a couple of weeks now but there are two problems that I can't seem to solve. Maybe there are some smart people that can help me with this. (I tried searching the forum first, but can;t find the answers)
1. I have TomTom7 and Igo8 installed and the first 2 weeks they worked like a charm. Now however I get a GPS fix for a couple of seconds, then after a couple of seconds it's completely gone again for it ony to return again after yet another couple of seconds. This repeats over and over making the apps useless for navigation. I tried a soft reset but it didn't work. Also I have this problem with both TT7 as Igo8 so I think it has something to do with the internal GPS receiver. Anyone any bright ideas??
2. I'm pleased with the performance of the Opera browser but lately I come across more and more sites that don't perform well. In most cases I can't log in or I can't use the search function. Some examples:
- hotmail.com --> SMS tab does retreive my mail but my GF can't log in at her hotmail account when she goes to hotmail.com directly
- NBA.com --> hugh NBA fan but is doesn't show well
- moviemeter.nl --> Dutch IMDB so to speak, can't use search function
- Partybets.com --> like sports betting but can't log in
- hyves.nl --> Dutch facebook, can't log in
Can you guys surf these pages correctly? What can I do to get a better performance out of sites that require login or have search functions or is it impossible to get these working on a WM device??
Thanks really much just for reading this cuz it's somewhat of a long question! Any help is appreciated!
Kind regards
Wow...over 60 reads but noone knows the answers. There goes my hope that these problems were easy to fix
i think i have the sort of same problem as you are on opera, did you install the adobeflash plugin? friend of mine , he installed the adobeflash plugin and the flash on the sit works , but mine doesnt donnt why , and i tried to post but no one answered:<

Use Advanced Config to turn AGPS off. I used to have it off and everything worked perfectly until I decided to see what it does. Then it would loose the GPS signal every 2 seconds and when it got a fix it would put me in the sea at 1km depth

Haha
I'll try turning A-GPS off and see what that does!! Hopefully this will work!
Does anyone have an answer for my problems with opera or is anyone that can check the above sites i mentioned and use search or login function to see how they'll look on your HD??
Yes, I had the same issue with the GPS a couple months back, and turning off AGPS should fix your problem. As for opera, no browser is perfect but I would reccomend trying skyfire (it will load anysite always and completely).

Try HD radio 1.13.25.24, tt7 works fine with AGPS using this radio (without starting any other GPS-using program). Cold fix < 5-10 sec
How about changing the settings of Opera.
Try to get to the settings when you opened a opera screen.
Turn OFF the "mobiele weergave" option ("Mobile view" in an english version of Opera).
Then you should enable "Javascript" underneath the advanced tab.
Try things like Hyves and Hotmail again.
Hope that works for ya.
Hello all,
I am a year-long htc blackstone user, flashing miri roms etc, a heavy user.
So I bought this week my wife the touch2 (mega). Now I have some issues with this one. For me these would not be that much of a problem - I am fluent with stopping data connections - but we are talking about not such a fluent user now...
I already installed the owner info patch.
Apparently we live that far in countryside, that the home page weather does not work. Google location services is configured, google maps finds our location - but weather not. No location at all, just tells that the weather data is not available.
Second thing... no hdtweak or kaisertweak for that yet? I'd like to configure the internet (gprs/3g) to deactivate automatically when not in use. This is not found in the settings anywhere. Using NoData or such is just not practical. The stopping data connection would be to save battery.
Third.. sense tabs. In the settings there is no possibility to change the order of the tabs :-O
So, the first thoughts...

touch2
I too, recieved the touch2 3 days ago. Need to sort out how to send sms in groups, like my old nokia n95 this could be done without any problems. The weather updates are costing me network charge, beware! Been searching the net for this sms software and most are not what i am looking for.. Anyone out there to help? Would reflashing the phone rom with a custom one work? As the phone is locked to t-mobile I would like to dismiss the logo start up's and the t-mobile web settings. Help anyone.. Please. Thanks You.
For the wather map to work, you must enable the location services that can be found in the settings.
needless to say, I have activated the location services.
it just must be the fact that we are living so far in the countryside.
I have on my blackstone a newer rom and manila - the weather shows perfectly our home location, a small village of 3500 inhabitants.
I wonder if that version on touch2 would work in a city.

hey guys i aint a touch 2 owner yet....
but to answer one of your questions anssibragge
there is a thread made up for touchFlo2d 2.0 themes and there is an app that has the ability to change tabs around/ disable tabs
this may work for your touch 2
its made by Twolf and i think its called ReFlush but i could be wrong
the thread is in the windows themes under dev/hacking
hope this helps.....
