I've Got Shift! Now, Some ?'s Please - Shift General

Greetings,
Just received Shift X9500 today....so far, very nice!!!
As my last device was the lil' Fujitsu U810 which was very nice, but just a bit too small (keyboard & display) and before that an OQO E2, which was very nice, but really small, the Shift feels just right size-wize....
However, have a few questions, have taken a lot through this forum, but didn't see my questions covered, unless I missed it....
1) Chirping Sounds
After I turned on Shift and went through various startup screens, I heard periodically a sort of chirping set of sounds periodically for a few seconds at a time, then it went away for awhile, but then it would do this again periodically.
However, Shift did some sort of automatic install; Intel Graphic Driver7.14.10.1364, HTC Control Center and maybe some other items, but didn't watch display the whole time...
At some point Shift rebooted and since then chirping sounds have not reappeared....
So, just wondering if anyone knows what this sound was for? and if it comes back what should I do?
2) Software Solution Package
There's a small piece of paper that's titled "Downloading and Installing the Software Solution Package to the HTC Shift".
It says that this package has the latest drivers and apps in it...could this be what was being installed automatically when Shift first booted up to desktop??
If not, should I install this?
If so, where do I get it on the HTC e-Club site?
I registered and then checked on what's available for Shift. However, I could only find 2 files for downloading; a Vista Sidebar Hotfix and one other file (forget which one..), but that's all I see as available there for the Shift...
3) Windows Updates
Should I do a Windows Update now or do I need to install the package in question 2 above first or ???
Thanks in advance for any and all input!

Just thought I'd update this post a bit...
The only issue that really I'm wondering about still since my original post, is question number 1.
I still occasionally get some sort of series of sounds; maybe 'chirping sounds' was not the right description...more like a set of repeated sounds, somewhat like a muted phone ringing or something like that??
I don't have a SIM card installed in my Shift.
Could this be some sort of alarm notification??
Came on yesterday, when I thought Shift was shutdown....don't know how to shut it off when it happens, but finally went away after happening a few times...
Any ideas as to what to check to stop this???
Thanks!

Hi archimark,
is you chirping sound sound like some noise,or a regard system sound? If the sound comes from WM side, you should check the alarm setting, and maybe your appointments.
You can update using windows update,except for the touch drivers update, which are a kind of downgrade.

THANKS, thaihugo!

Thanks for your help, thaihugo!
Good question about that sound...hard for me to describe it in words, but is somewhere between a soft telephone or alarm sound, series of repeating, modulating tones, is best I can describe it.
Will check on WM side, but I haven't really used WM side at all.....

the sounds are likely from the WM side ... i usually get those sounds for notifications, new email allerts, etc... shift gives quite a few notifications etc if it feels ur connection is not configured properly etc.. hence these sounds.. do one thing:
Liberate ur shift and then from WM side mute all sounds .. then soft reset and see if u find any such sounds...

Thanks for the suggestion, studdocs, will give that a try and report back...would be great to get this solved!

Sounds a lot like the low-battery notification to me... that's when mine makes a kind of 'chirping' sound... if not that, it could be that sound used for something else...

Aha!....I'd wondered if that might be a possibility....
One thing I just remembered that I didn't mention before, is that when I hear the sounds, I also see the indicator lights pulsating below the display area located on the frame surrounding the display....
Does yours do that too???
Thanks!

that would definitly be a reminder on the WM side...

Is there way to add a sound to the opening of the keyboard?

Well the topic says it all.
I want to add a sound to the opening and/or closing of the keyboard.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Any hacks for this? I suppose that the opening of the keyboard calls some kind of an event (since sliding it open changes the screen orientation) So can this same event call be used to assign a sound as well?
I also want to kno this and was going to ask right before I came 2 see this link...so please answer!
There are some really talented people here. I would have thought someone would have done this by now. But I assume, from lack of info, that this hasn't been considered before?
Would someone, who has the skill set to do this, consider looking into it and seeing if it is possible?
Thanks a million!!
Have a good one
Try this thread.....
Cheers!
That thread refers to the Herald, or Tmobile Wing. I found this thread and thats all I've been able to find for the Wizard or Tmobile MDA.
There may be a registry key that needs to be modified/added after installing the HTC Sliding Sounds application to make it 'active' for the Wizard.
Any ideas?
Im trying to figure it out too.. I dunno how to get it to initiate...
Need someone with the Herald (T-Mobile Wing) to help
Under HKEY\LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SlidingSound there are 2 keys 'ActiveSlidingSound' and 'SlidingSoundEffect', these are for setting which sound of the 3 available to use, I'm assuming.
Anyone out there know someone with a Herald or T-Mobile Wing that is willing to share what they have in this folder in their registry?? Maybe there's and EnableSound key or something to that effect that us Wizard users can add and we'll have a happy day!

I just checked mine and under SlidingSound, there are 3 folders... 0, 1, and 2. Each folder has 3 keys... Default, in, and out. "Default" is the name for the sounds (ex: Wind Chimes, Piano, and Xylophone), "in" is the location of the file used for when the keyboard slides in (ex: Slider0_in.wav), and the same applies to "out" for when the keyboard slides out (ex: Slider0_out.wav).
Also inside the SlidingSound folder are 2 more keys... ActiveSlidingSound and SlidingSoundEffect. ActiveSlidingSound refers to which sliding sound you want to use... so in this case it would be one of the 3 folders mentioned above (0,1, or 2). SlidingSoundEffect refers to whether or not you want the sliding sound on. (0 = off, 1 = on).
Hope this helps!
I installed the software that was made by JUVS....it does not work on my MDA.
Any other ideas? I had tried searching before I made this thread initially, and i had not seen the 2 that are discussed here. I apologize for having made a 3rd one.
Back on topic, I certainly hope this can be made to work. Any other ideas?
Thanks for all the info so far.
Later
this is a really cool idea, i would also like to know how to do it...

Thanks so much! This does help!
Unfortunately, I have the same keys on my MDA after installing the application for the SlidingSounds and it doesn't make sounds when I open the keyboard physically. I'm suspecting that the MDA is missing something, possibly a hardware switch (don't think so, though, cause it has to detect when the keyboard opens for landscape mode).
My guess is that this will not work on the MDA
Umfortunately I'm not a programmer, but I was thinking that the easiest way to get somethig like this to work would be to link the sound to play with the screen rotation instead of trying to get it to work when the keyboard is slid out which obviously isn't working anyway. It would play the sound if you rotated your screen manually, but I can't see why that would be a big deal. Maybe someone with a little programming knowledge could get this to work though.
I wanna keep this thread alive. SlidingSounds is something i wanna see work for wizards. It'll be cool if someone could craft a workaround or a new prog altogether.
Opening the keyboard is an event, shouldn't be hard to craft something to have it make a sound.
Any updates on this? I downloaded the app and it hasn't done anything, especially when messing with the registry. Thanks.
I've been working on tis as well but it seems that there is no way to adjust the registry to get it to work. I believe a app is gonna have to get the wizard to have this feature.
This would be so cool.. Alot of people have 'flip' style phones, and when they open them, they have some funny sounds. Would be great to have on the Wizard!
Anybody figured this out yet? I'm really sure it can be done.
im all about hacks for the wizard, but...
im assuming that you saw a wing and are trying to duplicate it...
WHY would you want it to do this?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!
same question for the menu pop sound?
those are the most annoying things i've seen on phone... well except for the default startup and shutdown sounds on all retail phones... when you turn off your phone, isnt because you're somewhere that you should be sure it wont be ringing/vibrating?
but on the other hand i still can't understand why people like to have the keys beep on their regular cell phones when they are txting...
sorry for the rant... i just don't get it

Maybe because we love the bells and whistles a gadget can make, it's all about your custom love that you want to have, not just everyone's universal preference. Some of us love to customize our phones to suit our personality, not just YOURS. Maybe these sounds grab attention of chicks, maybe this wallpaper makes us look cool in the sight of geeks. It's all personal prereference.
That's why I want keyboard Sliding Sounds to work. It's just one more thing that will grab the attention of people to see that, yes, I don't need a new phone every six months or so. I can make a new one using an old one by utilizing hacks.

Problems with phone

Ok, I've been looking through the threads looking for a solution for the following problems, but can't find any.
1) For no reason at all I am unable to get a ringer for incoming calls. All I can get is vibrate and silent mode. If I choose ringer it just goes to silent or vibrate depending on what it was last set at.
2) My sms notifier displays that I have a new message, which I don't and it will not disappear even when I receive a new message and delete it. Everytime I receive a new message the counter goes up, but will not remove once sms deleted. Currently stands at 24.
3) I know posts have been made about 'Screen fades to white' and the solution by alkizmo is to take apart your phone. Would this cause points 1 & 2?
I have upgraded to new ROM's but problems reappear after a short time.
Any help appreciated. Basically I think the phone is screwed
cheers
the ringer and messages issues sound like software issue.
what software have you installed?
Have a lot of SPB software including SPB Plus, today, weather etc as prefer the userface to HTC Home and today screen.

3 Diamond Apps

After spending the summer learning c# and .netcf I got my hands on a Diamond and had to make some small apps.
They're very beta and pre-release versions, but please try 'em out and give me some feedback
VibraNotify
Senses when the phone lays idle and when it is on the move, if it has been stationary for some time and it gets picked up it vibrates if there's been any unattended activity (sms, appointments, missed calls).
Should probably add some gui components for sensitivity tweaking.
CallBlocker
Rejects all callers enlisted in the supplied text-file. Currently the text-file contains "all" telemarketing numbers in norway (from telefonterror.no).
Speedometer
Really simple GPS-utility showing the current speed in different units.
Nice work!
Downloading them now.. and gonna try 'em right away...
I was thingking about another thing that the VibraNotify could do (or as a different program)
Like a theft alarm.. If the phone has been idle for some time.. and it gets piked up.. you have to enter a code.. if you dont, a high alarm sound will start
(I'm not gonna take the cred for this, someone else spoke of it in this forum some time ago)
Thanks. I'm going to try it!
Nice! I`ll have a look. Would be nice if you could set some settings, like idle time on the Vibra thingy!
Nice ... thank you.

How long is some time?
Surur
ok.. I tested VibraNotify...
I'm gonna use it for sure
But I noticed that if i get a sms and move it, it vibrates...
but if I don't check the sms... and move it again later, it doesn't vibrate
I think it should vibrate until I have checked the sms?
It's little bit annoying to see these programs working in task manager... is it possible to hide them? I mean they will be working in background... Especially vibranotify...
plus is it possible to add numbers to list for callblocker? I could not do that... well it saves as .txt file when i try to modify and save the list...
Theft alarm could definitively work, how about a mp3 shouting "Put the mobile down with two fingers only!"? Hehe
Regarding the idle time, I think I used 10 seconds, if you don't hide the windows you can se it changing states. The number outputted is the square of the sum of the changes in the accelerometer values.
I will add some gui components and registry settings for this when I got time, would be more dynamic that hardcoded constants.
I'm not sure if I understood what you meant NisseDILLIGAF, doesn't it vibrate if you got unread sms'es when you pick the phone up from i.e. the table?
emre_aachen:
Just add the numbers to the textfile, seperate by a newline, save and reload the application. It caches the numbers, maybe a wrong design decision? Comments?

No... What I mean is if I get a sms and I accidentally move the phone, It vibrates...
I haven't checked the sms (I don't know that I have a message)
When I pick the phone up ... there is no vibration... It only vibrates once..
It would be great if It would vibrate every time I move it untill I have read the sms...
Like the flashing center button... It continues to flash until I have cheked the sms or a missed call or whatever...
again.. Thanx for a great app .. It's gonna be a standard app for my phone
Ah, then I follow you. This could certainly be done! Maybe an option in the gui to enable/disable...
I certainly need to reinstall VS to continue developing
I'm keeping this topic in view, sounds like a nice app. But as read from the comments, it still needs a little bit of work (setting etc).
Nice work!

As you seams to know what you are doing I'll give you my two cents for a simple apps:
You know that when the Diamond is in standby with black screen you can't see if you have signal or not.
It's possible to have the DPAD flash when the phone in standby mode have no signal ?
Maybe it can stop flashing when the signal came back.
Let mi say after 15 sec. with no signal it start blink with 5 sec delaied flash and after a customizable time the blink
become more quick to allert that you are not reachable for a long period...
It will be wery usefull to know that without touching it.
Let me know and thank you for your great work!

I'm afraid this is not possible, when the diamond is in standby (black screen) it's pretty much like if your computer is in standby mode, all running programs are paused. Checked into this when doing the vibranotifyer, since running it in standby was my original plan.
I certainly hope I'm wrong, maybe someone can correct me?
Hey,
just thought I'd write a quick note to thank you for your programs. Small and simple, its a dream.
Keep them small and simple.
What I'm really looking for is an application to replace my Garmin305 EDGE, and I hope that you continue to develop your GPS stuff to include some of the training and tracking features that the Garmin had.
I found this program:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340667
Its called TrackMe, but its clearly not developed for the Diamond, as running it clips my battery time down to 1.5 hours.
What would be nice is to run each feature as an individual streamlined application, like your speedometer.
Anyways, thanks again.
And keep up the good work.

Too bad, but maybe I was not clear in my request.
I mean that the phone is only with the screeo switched off, but it is still active.
For example when it is in this state the phone can ring on a call or on sms...
If I understand well you mean that an apps like S2U2 can't do anything if the screen is offf while you press the power button ?
Thank you for further explanations, I'm really curious on that...

AFAIK the calling, sms'ing etc is handled on a lower layer than what is allowed for the programs, suppose the hardware raises events or something when this happens which wakes up the OS.
Can't seem to see that S2U2 does anything while the mobile is in standby mode?
I just noticed something... maybe I'm wrong..!?
But It feels like the battery is draining faster with the VibraNotify!?
Anyone else that noticed something like this?
Gonna test some more... I'll know more tomorrow...

General leo gripes !

right had this phone a few weeks now got most of the little niggles sorted with this forums help just a few others that bug me ....
1: there is a separate system and ringer volume ...but if you set one it changes the other!! they are not independent. this is a major bug for me because if i have my phone on vibrate while im at work, if i then want to listen to music at work i plug in my headphones and have to turn up the volume to listen to the music. but if i then take out my headphones the phone is now on loud. and if i forget and leave it on i get told off at work ! lol
2: the age old text reply problem. 200+ messages (and no i dont want to delete them) means a big wait to reply to a message ....stupid !
3: the lock screen slider is very odd, sometimes it will unlock with one slide and other times it will take a few goes...and if your showing off your new phone to someone it just looks crap because you cant even unlock it ! can the area of touch sensitivity around the lock button be increased in size to make it easier to unlock ???
anyway cheers Dom
1. The volumes can be set seperatley if you choose to, by default they are linked. To set them seperately you simply go to settings sounds and display, and set single volume to off!
2. You can use Microsoft MyPhone to archive your text messages, ie not deleted but not on your phone. I did this with 2000 messages that I dont really need to be stored on the phone.
3. No lock issues here, to increase the area would sort of defeat the whole point of the lock button
2: the age old text reply problem. 200+ messages (and no i dont want to delete them) means a big wait to reply to a message ....stupid !

Just disable HTC Messaging and the problem is gone.
I wonder why people are still complaining about this, the fix is as easy as it gets. Really nothing worth talking about.
1: wow how did i not see that ?!?! i've looked in the menu about a million times ! haha cheers
2: yeah i have used that too but some messages i like to have with me so i can read them back......sentimental old sod i am...
3: i guess if no one else is having trouble it must just be me ! lol
You can disable the lock screen, if you want, with the following Registry setting:
[HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd] "DeviceLockWhenSuspend"=dword:0
right tried that and you still cant have the ringer on vibrate and the system on loud .... if you click vibrate on either it sets the other !!!!!!!!!
if you click vibrate on either it sets the other !!!!!!!!!

This is normal for Windows Mobile and has nothing to do with HTC.
I don't know if there's a workaround.
well i dont care if its htc or win mobile .... its annoying ! lol
If you use something more powerful like G-Profile you can set up profiles with, for example, your txt/calls set to vibrate only. (Dont change the ringer volume to vibrate, instead change the incoming call notification to vibrate only. You can of course do this in Settings, but its easier with profiles)
It seems G-Profile is no longer free, but I am sure there are free alternatives if you search around.

Not that I want to be rude, but other phones cannot even set different volumes for system/ringer. E.g. on the iPhone, you only get ONE volume and you can't do anything about it.
Actually, it's already a huge advantage of Windows Mobile that is has that feature.
And it's a huge advantage that there are programs like G-Profile that give you even more options.

3 most worst problems of our Mini

3 most worst problems of our Mini​
1)Problem with Lock Screen. In missed calls wrong number is appearing.
2)Problem with in-call volume. After phone restarting, we have to push the side button during a call in order to increase the volume, because the initial level is approximately 40%.
3)HTC has released an update which supposes fix the problem with in-call volume. Are you sure that this update fix the problem which is written above (2) ? In case of “Yes”, could we install only the second “update file” (cab) in order to get rid of in-call volume ?
I bring to your attention to all issues above. Please for your cooperation in order to find a solution finally !! Furthermore, if someone has found a solution, I personally beg to publish the solution. Summing up, please try to keep this post ACTIVE !!! We have to pay lots of money for this wonderful mobile. However, it’s a really pity that these problems discomfort us !!! I am sure that together we can find a solution FINALLY !!!
I totally agree with you.
The first problem has occurred more than once on my mini.
The fact is that he always show the previous missed call.
So when your father calls you and you miss it.
And then the next day your sister calls and you miss that call again,
the lock screen will say that you missed a call from your father.
Strange that this has not been fixed yet, since this will just be a minor error.
My best guess is that they search the first missed call (missedcall(1))
where the function is maybe starting to count from 0.

Exactly my friend ! Ragarding second problem about in-call volume ? Do you have the same problem ?
Yes, but...
While the problems listed are serious, to me the very worst problem is the volume. Laid flat, the device is inaudible. Also I find the volume control was placed on the wrong side of the device. I think it should been on the right side but then I am a righty. Also I have big hand and end up changing the volume unintentionally. Because of the extreme sensitivity of the screen and placement of the talk/send soft key, my thumb pad (?) has placed numerous calls. This is correctable but one wonders if anybody at HTC played with the phone before the design was finalized.

It's really strange !!! Some people have problem with volume level and some others not !!!
Your comments guys... Give all a try in order to fix this problem FINALLY
More serious problems:
1. Phone tends to freeze every few weeks. Only solution is to do hard reset, losing all data from your latest sync.
2. While having a numeric keypad is a great plus for a touch screen device, this great feature of HD mini is buggy. At times, it doesn't know if it's operating under T9 or under abc mode. The worst problem is that it tends to save every erroneous typing into the custom dictionary, with no option to ask for confirmation. While the custom words you really need requires a confirmation press on the word. Often, the custom words you want added to the dictionary are added erroneously, mispelled and cannot be modified or deleted. This is one very messy virtual keyboard.
3. Some regular and important options are restricted. Like the option to hide headers and scroll bars in mobile excel is greyed (unavailable). For no particular reason, other than to cripple the app.
4. Weather tab is buggy and a tremendous resource hog. Disable it and avoid it at all cost. It gobbles up close to 10Mb of ram, and makes the Sense unstable.
5. HTC Messaging is extremely slow. Cannot effective handle more than a few hundred messages.
6. Editing contacts is a mess. Copy and paste is disabled in many of the fields. Editing contacts will often freeze up the phone for a long time. Sometimes reaching several minutes. (Don't reset the phone no matter how long it takes, it will come around. It's just extremely slow and inefficient.)

I once emailed them about "wrong missed-phone appearing on the Lock Screen", you know what was their reply? (actually, you can guess)
pls HARD-RESET! .
Wow, so simple?
Hard-reset won't be the solution, bc, I have had hard-reset more than once, the problem still can not be solved.
Hopefully, HTC will soon issue some kind of patch for this.
Best regards

It won't work. HTC tech guys are so lazy and do not know how to solve problems. They always go for quick fix that won't work at all. Only to pretend they know what to tell you.
Some of the quick answers they usually go for are:
1. Go to service center for replacement (even if it's just a small software bug)
2. Hard reset (without even understanding why)
3. Soft reset
All these quick answers cannot solve any problems.
2)Problem with in-call volume. After phone restarting, we have to push the side button during a call in order to increase the volume, because the initial level is approximately 40%.
The problem above is the MOST SERIOUS for me !!!! We've paid lots of money and phone doesn't do the standard functions !! Let's BOMB with emails HTC Support
the problem which bothers me is that the footprints points to google maps or to copilot software,but i want it to point to my favorite gps software which is iGO....i asked htc support how to make footprints to open iGO NOT copilot $h|t and...here is what they answered

Yes. That's what i've been promoting. Drown HTC Support with surge of email complaints. This is the only way to force them to get off their lazy ass and do some real work.

Unfortunately, they almost never read your complaints. All they do is to issue standard pre-composed responses. Which will not contain any answers to your questions. This is their method. Of all the complaints i've written to them, none were ever answered.
SMS tab doesn't show flipping pages. Just simple text in a black background. The only effects you get is the twisting of the text when being swiped away. I think only big brother HD2 gets the flipping page effect for SMS.

Good luck on that. In our country, the HTC "hotline" is permanently connected to a fax machine. The only response you ever get is fax tone. Nobody answers the call.

3 most worst problems of our Mini​
1)Problem with Lock Screen. In missed calls wrong number is appearing.
2)Problem with in-call volume. After phone restarting, we have to push the side button during a call in order to increase the volume, because the initial level is approximately 40%.
3)HTC has released an update which supposes fix the problem with in-call volume. Are you sure that this update fix the problem which is written above (2) ? In case of “Yes”, could we install only the second “update file” (cab) in order to get rid of in-call volume ?
I bring to your attention to all issues above. Please for your cooperation in order to find a solution finally !! Furthermore, if someone has found a solution, I personally beg to publish the solution. Summing up, please try to keep this post ACTIVE !!! We have to pay lots of money for this wonderful mobile. However, it’s a really pity that these problems discomfort us !!! I am sure that together we can find a solution FINALLY !!!
