Hi, after installing MarkVan's true VGA package in this link
http://www.jaml.com/MvRTrueVGA/, I have identified the following issues that I'm still unable to solved. I thought that a special thread to address specifically problems after this installation might be helpful.
I'll start by first listing what I've identified as problems:
1) setting>system>backlight screen could not be used. This problem is serious, as somehow by default, the backlight is switched off after just a few seconds in true VGA mode. Even if I try, using QVGA mode to change it such that backlight will not be switched off, as soon as I toggle back to the true VGA mode, it is switched off after 10 seconds again.
2)setting>system>clear storage screen is garbed. It is difficult to make up what the input instruction are in performing hard reset. Not critical but would be nice if the screen could be fixed.
3)setting>system>power screen is garbed due to wrong sized icon. This is minor problem.
4) Setting>system>TV out screen title has the wrong font. Minor problem
5) Setting>system>VueFLO screen title has wrong sized font. Minor problem
6)setting>connection>comm manager screen is garbed. Not being able to control the connection could be quite a problem. In this application, the Settins>Wireless LAN screen is also garbed. I can solve this problem by installing Commmgrpro to give exactly the same functionality, however. Therefore, I would say this is not really an issue. But would be nice if someone already know how to solve this.
7)setting>connection>wireless Lan heading and the screen is garbed. The screen could not be used. The font sizes within all tabs are of wrong sizes. Again, CommmgrPro solves this problem by replacing this.
8)setting>personal>phone (pin2 and "more" tab) are garbed
9) Phone. Although I've applied VJbigpohne, I'm somehow unable to get exactly the same effect as what vj has in his screen shot. His screen shot showed that the numbers are nicely sitting in the centre of the phone buttons and the phone stretches all the way to the bottom of the screen. Mine looks different and ugly. The numbers are sitting to the extreme right edge of the buttons and there is a blank space at the bottom of the screen. I would like to fix this to look good
10) Spb GPRS monitor plugin has wrong sized font. As a result, I cannot see the download speed of my connection. The main application itself, which shows in chart form the usage has no problem. I have been looking for another product that works fully under VGA mode to replace the Spb GPRS monitor, but none of them gives me the download speed (They only shows the total MB downloaded, but not the Kbps info)
11)Pocket music. In landscape mode the option and playlist buttons are missing. In portrait mode there is no such problem. edit: this is not the vga problem,as it also behaves the same way I'm qvga mode.
12) Software Input Panel, or the soft keyboards, are soooo small, that they are unuseable. The standard big keyboard was nice as I can use my finger to type it without covering up the screen. If it is not possible to use the original soft keyboard, then I would like to use the HiKeyboard, because this keyboard has the ability to also do the job the the Spb full keyboard, as well as provide a calculator keypad. I like Hikeyboard the best, among all the ones I've evaluated. However, with MvrTrueVGA, I'd be forced to use only the resco keyboard. I prefer not to pay for resco keyboard, and to pay for Spb full keyboard, when I can just pay for Hikeyboard. I also much prefer HiKeyboard over Spb Full keyboard because it has the option to reveal what you have typed without exiting the full keyboard. Coming to the worst I'd get the Resco Keyboard although it is not as good as the Hikeyboard, so I supposed this is not the most seriuos matter.
13) Quick GPS program does not display correctly, and at the bottom of the screen display does not reach all the way to the edge of the screen. It looks ugly. Also, you can't see vital date and validity information on this screen.
14) Pocket Mechanics - The icons are too big and the characters are too small. It look real ugly as compared to the QVGA appearance.
15) My VOIP client SJPhone does not stretch all the way to the bottom. In landscape mode, the bottom part of the applications are cut off, while it leaves a big hole on the right. EDIT: qvga display landscape mode is also faulty I'm the same way.
16) In QVGA mode, my H and G indicator for data download has disappeared under true VGA mode. In place of the H (which means HSDPA connection is available), it shows the "connection is active" indicator instead.
In place of "HSDPA is in use" indicator, it shows just the signal strength without indicating whether I'm on a UMTS or HSDPA connection.
There might be more problems with other applications which I have not listed, and if you know of any, please add them in as a repository for all of us to look at.
It is possible that some of you have got solutions to the above problems.
If so, let's post the solution here, quoting the problem number if you can.
Thanks guys and gals
I'm not sure (and I'm happy if I'm wrong) but I think the best answer is:
"Yeah, but what'cha gonna do..."
WM5 is not intended to be used in full 640x480 mode, roumors will have it that WM6 is. So let's keep our hopes up.
But you obviously have more problems than me. Most screens are good and readable for me, except the phone (before applying VJBigPhone), Clear Storage, QuickGPS and the G/E/U/H icons + signal level. Of all these, the GEUH and signal level indicator is the only thing I "need" fixed (I can live with the rest).

Hi Moskus,
Thanks for the reply.
May I get more specific about what you're having?
a) You mean your soft input panel (on screen keyboard) is not too tiny? Are you using Resco keyboard to overcome the problem? Are you able to use the standard with no problem?
b) Your backlight adjustment screen is okay? Using the standard or replacement which consumes additional memory?
c) What about yout comm manger screen? Are you still using the standard or using a replacement which takes up more memory?
d) Your phone does not leave a hole at the bottom after VJbigpohne is applied? The characters on the keys are centered or also to the edge? I saw VJ555's screen shot and its as beautiful as the standard. Mine is aweful looking, although it works. Are you having the perfect looking screen just like VJ555's or are you putting up with the less than perfect looking screen?
e) Do you use SPbGPRS monitor? When you click the task bar icon, does the pop up screen display correctly? Or are you not using this?
f) Your quick GPS is displaying okay?
g) What is your ROM version?
h) What it your os language?
Thank you for sharing these information.

I think we have different "standards" for what the problems are.
a. I'm using the Resco keyboard, since the original is not showing up (as described in many other threads here and at the Qtek 9000 forum)
b. The backlight adjustment screen is OK.
c. The Comm Manager is "squished" but usable. I would prefer it if the icons were bigger, but I can use without any serious problems.
d. The phone does leave a gap at the bottom with the last displayed picture, and it would be nice if it didn't. But I can use the phone without problems.
e. I haven't tried SPG GPRS Monitor on this device. However, I do not have problems with the "home icon" that Magic Button is displaying in "Task Bar mode" and I can press/click on the other status indicators.
f. The QuickGPS application is also "squished" together as the Comm Manager is. But I can read when I last updated and I can find the "Update now" button without problems. I am able to use the program, but it could look nicer.
g. My ROM version is 1.25.409.2 (03/21/07).
h. My language is (not supprisingly) norwegian.
So TrueVGA is not perfect, and it probably never will be (until WM6 I hope). But I think the advantages (insert pun here) outweights the disadvantages. Using my Advantage without TrueVGA is not an option for me anymore.
I agree with you that it is not an option for many people. I guess I need to lower my expectation a little. It was just that after seeing the beautiful screen, the initial euphoria was somewhat dampened by the ugly screens for some places and for some program.
I'm using VGA mode most of the time, and use the largest font in the setting>system>screen>font selection due to the strain on my eye if I use other fonts.
One of the key problems that I had using trueVGA initially was that because I could not control the backlight setting, everytime I toggle to VGA mode, it revert to turning backlight off in 10 seconds. There is absolute no way to change it to stay on for longer time. So it was very frustration to look at an extremely dimmed screen which is totally unreadable outdoor. This problem seems to have gone away after two recent hard resets. With that problem gone, I guess I can live with the other imperfection
I had a simular problem with the backlight control --- I have installed "Todaywarrior" and I can control the backlight from the today screen now while in VGA mode.

Hi leblancrs,
Thanks for this info. What can today warrior do? Does it let you specify the elapsed time before backlight is off?
what else can it do?
You have the website link?
Spb pocket plus can adjust backlight, but not the time elapsed setting, I think.

Hi Leblancrs,
Downloaded that and tried it. Unfortunatley, this actually is not doing what I was talking about. While it provides a slider to control the backlight (which I can already do in many different ways without problem in VGA mode), it does not appear to have a facility to specify how many minutes must elapse before backlight is automatically switched off (battery and main would have a different setting of course). Or am I missing out something?
Well ive ordered one of these devices on the basis that Windows Mobile 6 offers VGA. Im pretty confident that is official not just hopeful but Microsoft have been known to dissapoint before.
If thats the case then I guess this device will be up on ebay pretty quick. Im not going through all the stuffing around for VGA like what you're all experiencing and like what I went through for Universal VGA. Despite the fact that converting to VGA seems to be a much easier process now.
Hhhmm
I have installed MW6 on my device and no native vga support I am afraid.
Oh well.

I used truevga for a while, although I didn't experience quite the same amount of problems as Eaglesteve I did have distorted comms and dialpad screens and was unable to change the brightness. There were a few other niggles but these were the prevalent one.
After getting over the novelty of tiny icons and lots of space on the today screen I eventually removed the program. Now IE and Opera support high resolution it seems like even less reason to use it.
There seems to be no REAL advantage to its use other than to view lots of icons at once.
Taking all the problems into account I can live with chunky icons - they're hardly offensive to the eyes. and I suppose didn't pay good money for a 5" screen to squint and have to get my pen out evey time I want to type something or navigate through menus.
Much as Microsoft DO neglect certain applications and functionlity with windows mobile I think that they have made a conscious decision not to use VGA and this decision would have been made for a reason, though we may never know it.
I'll install MVRTruevga again and give it another try now and see if my opinion alters......

There are also a number of apps that look pretty strange with MvRTrueVGA. But I'll put up with some cosmetic defects for functionality. I just love being able to see a couple days of appointments, device status, weather info... plus an ilauncher strip, all on my today screen!

I had the same excitement myself initially, though I found it difficult to press these icons with my fat fingers and inevitably decided that it was easier to just navigate to the program folder and leave essential apps for the today screen. I hope a new VGA solution is developed soon which makes the icons a bit bigger and throws up less garbled screens and program glitches.
In the interim does anyone have link for how to alter the sidebar/ softkey size so they look like thse in MVRtruevga? my internet is very slow on my phone today so searching is proving very frustrating.

It is certainly easier to edit word and excel documents in VGA mode - I'm surprised MS didn't create a highres option for their office apps like the one in PIE.
You can change the default font size via the system>screen menu instead of switching to VGA for a slight improvement.
I've got a question: when my TyTN was in for repair, I used a Nokia E61. It had a cool feature:
whenever you don't use the device for 30 seconds, the backlight would "fade out" to the minimum (not 0, but 1 on a scale of 10). Now that I have my TyTN back; I sort of "miss" that in my TyTN. Is ot possible to create something that would do this?
Ooh. That is a pretty cool feature.
I second the request.
Suprised I haven't seen that yet.
that means an process should always regulate the backlight and but it back to maximum as soon as an input happens. sound a bit like wasted cpu load
edit: i want it! ^_^

mmm on my PC I have this option switched on. Tried it with Resco Explorer on the TyTN, and who could have guessed: I have the files.
Now the next issue: where do I put them? Tried the /windows directory, but I thought it better not to replace the existing backlight.exe without "proper guidance". Anyone has experience?
<edit> Heck, tried it anyway. I can't open the backlight settings now... (thank god I made a copy of the original backlight.exe).
Any advice?

If it disabled your backlight setting that's a good sign, there must be another file referenced in the mui which needs to be included. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Stynos I sure hope you did do a backup of your old backlight files. If you haven't, you can probably get them back with recovery software or from someone with a TyTN. I should of added a warning, just thought it went without mentioning.
removing these "new" files and soft reset should restore system ones.....ehhh..
btw, it is not working on wizard, too...
There's another files in the directory called "backlight.dll" maybe include that one too.

What option tabs do you have under Settings/System/Backlight ?
I've got |Brightness|Battery power|External power|
In Settings/System/Power I have |Battery|Advanced|
If you've got these same settings, one of them might be conflicting with the other.
For example I've got Settings/System/Power|Advanced| "On battery power" set to "Turn off device if not used for 5 minutes"
Then in Settings/System/Backlight|Battery power| set to "Turn off backlight if device is not used for 30 sec
The last setting just lowers the backlight

Your last setting is "Turn off backlight", I thought it would add an option to dim the screen to a lower backlight setting. Because I have the turn off backlight feature

The setting says that, but it doesn't actually turn it off. It just lowers it to 1 on a scale of 10 (I can still see my today screen). Tapping the screen or pressing a button lights it back up.
Apologies if this has been asked before, I did search first!
Is there any way to make a shortcut to point to the brightness tab (the slider) for the backlight? The backlight app seems to be accessible by MyCPL.cpl and Backlight.exe, but using the usual syntax to get to a specific tab, ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,0,2, doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Give a try to cplmain.cpl,6 instead - see my related article at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=640&more=1 . Haven't tested this on my Universal but, given that almost all WM5 devices I've tested use this, I think it'll work on the Univ too.
Actually, mycpl.cpl,0,2 was only used on some old, ppc2k2 only models like the iPAQ 3660
Nope, not working. cplmain.cpl,5 gives me the 'about' app and cplmain.cpl,7 gives me 'screen orientation' (cplmain.cpl,7,2 gives me 'text size', etc.) but cplmain.cpl,6 (cplmain.cpl,6,0 etc.) does nothing.
'Backlight' is accessible using MyCPL.cpl and Backlight.exe as I mentioned, but unless the syntax is different for these than file.ext,app,tab, neither allow you to make a shortcut to a specific tab
Interesting, will also give it try
Hi!
I am looking for such a method, too. On my device works cplmain.cpl,6. But that only leads me to the backlight options. I cant figure out how to go to "Brightness" cause hats waht I am looking for.
In the end I want to dimm my brightnes with a hardware button.
Anyone an idea? Or an programm that does that? (PocketPlus dont work for me)

If I remember correctly, there should be a button on your universal that changes the backlight setting. If you press the button on the side with the lightbulb on it (next to the slider) the brightness of your lcd changes. Tap multiple times untill you get the disired effect

hi, just few basics please...
how do you know when the battery is fully charged ??
probably really dumb but i didn't really figured it ou exept going in the battery section of WM
thanks
The LEDs will stop flashing (if you had them enabled whilst charging)
ok thanks, and one last crappy question,
do you think that to have the ''self controlin brightness'' of the screen enabled is slowin down the system speed ?
what are (if they exist) the best cache values in xperia tweaker ?
thanks
"do you think that to have the ''self controlin brightness'' of the screen enabled is slowin down the system speed ?"
doubt it
i dont even believe it require actions from the os at all it could be don in hardware
and if it does use the system it's not rocket science equations it have to calc

The obvious way is checking Start-->Settings-->System-->Power. (but you probably know that already, and anyway, it's a mission )
I use homeplusplus (or home++), which has a today screen plugin which gives you lots of indicators (including battery percentage (100% is fully charged)).
Search for the cab (if not in the sticky in this forum) on the Kaiser forum or Rapheal forum, and the best part is it's free.
When you install it, it has two icons on the Today screen (bottom) by default. Click and hold to get the options, and in there include extra rows as well as task bar icons. 10 points to the developer of that software.
A potentially better way of seeing battery percentage is to install SPB mobile Shell, which also has a today screen row (with useful icons and menus alongside the battery status on the main screen). But you got to pay for that.. spbsoftwarehouse.com.
The light sensor polls by default every 200 milliseconds (if I'm not mistaken), as already said - the system load for the polling is negligible.
BUT if you are worried, then there is an option in Start-->Settings-->Power-->Lighting-->Auto Adjust Backlight which you can tick off.
Doubt you will notice any performance gain by doing that.
Good luck!
Cheers
Anybody knows why the battery power slider has disappear?

By any chance you installed spb tv?
HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\Brightness Change to 3
I had the same problem like this, because of the stupid SPB TV program. It sets the value to 0, which is out of range(1-10).
Just reset the registry value as 1-10 then the slider will come back.
alsalahi, even if you haven't used spb tv I would still start by checking that reg value, I've read about it getting changed by other things as well, and changing it to a value >= 1 always seems to clear it up just fine.
