SAMSUNG SGH-i780 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hello guys,
two questions:
1) do you know any application that work with GPS and can notify me when i'm at certain coordinates.
2) maybe this question is already answered...why in the forum homepage (forum.xda-developers.com) there isn't a section for the SAMSUNG SGH-i780 smartphone?
Sorry for my english
Thank you...

1) I don't know but you made me curious about how you would use that ! please explain
2) I guess coz it's not a HTC phone.... I would really like xda-dev to expand to "ppc-developers"... melting-pot is good !

iGo8 dude

Hello lastnikita,
1) the applicationa i mean is an application that should be able to set a position specifying the coordinates (nmea standard), then when i will be in that place/position an alarm should be activated. Something similar...
2) i didn't know that this forum was for htc only...sob!!!
P.S.:
i read about many ROMs available here, but i'd like to wait some official update to windows 6.1 before to upgrade my current ROM. My i780 is too young to be cracked !!!

How please ? Do you mean with POIs ? I'm not sure if that would suit his needs.

I need to be warned when i'm in certain place in order to some actions, like send sms automatically, or get an alarm remind me to do something...
Location based application...
Is this what you like to know?
PulceRM

phonealarm maybe, or gpstoday

well I was just wondering about the USE you will make of it, not how it works
I've been thinking about this but I can't see any real concrete stuff I could do with that ! Anyway, it would involve your GPS is on all the time, could be pretty battery-hungry..

Refresh appointment on home tab
Hi,
I have the problem that sometimes no appointment is shown on the home tab although there are appointment for this day in calender .
Sometimes the home-tab shows appointment from past (the day before) .
If I edit an appointment in the calender, the appointment on the home tab refresh and everything is correct .
Im using original HTC-Rom 1.93 GER with some own graphics-manila-files created with Manila editor.
Any idea?

Try TodayAgenda V1.1.0 - at http://pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1475.
It is a great today plugin which shows appointments, tasks - Very customizeable and I have mine showing appointments up to a week in advance. It work's very well on my HTC Touch Elf WM 6.0. I added the RL Calendar to the same page so that I have a calender above it and appointments showing beneath. All as one page in ultimateLaunch.
I see a lot of smarties here trying to be all ^%$%.
What he is asking for, as well as I need, is to be able to see more upcoming appointments while the TF3D is ON .... got it. Please read before you guys get all smart.
The apps you suggested do not work work, well they do, but do not show up with TF3D ON.
Perhaps there is some registry tweak that can allow to see like today+next 7 days appointments.

Hey buddy. There is no need to get rude. Everyone here is just trying to be helpful, geez. What is your problem.
By the way, the original question was not asking specifically for something that would work while TF3D is on specifically and since I do not have a Diamond, I would have no way of knowing what would work for you or not. I was only pointing to a possible sollution as I am sure everyone else was. Notice in my post I actually metioned working on HTC TOUCH ELF WM 6.0.
Anyway, Good Luck finding what you need.

Anybody knows the answer? Maybe only HTC staff knows. Second Today works but it is just a workaround by adding a today screen so as to avoid the TF3D screen. Like the 2USU thing (a workaround for locking the screen with incoming calls), it's not a clean solution. I don't know what other fellow diamondiers feel, but I want a clear cut solution direct from TF3D, not to switch to another screen/program/interface to get around (and I want to see everything from the TF3D screen even when it's locked and backlight is off and I don't need to unlock the screen and then press another button to see it). But yes, this has been a F-Q but still no A (as in FAQ) yet. It seems to be a real simple issue that most of us will come across and intuitively think it's easy to solve (by a registry tweak or so) but yet no solution comes up yet. It's a bit frustrating....

You seen the movie Tropic Thunder? You know Tom Cruises' part in that, when he talks to the Flaming Dragon guys for the first time through the phone? Well, that's what I'd love to do to you now.
Yes, maybe there is a tweek (sic) that can do that with "TF3D ON" (did you know that the word 'on' is officially written uncapitalised?), and yes, Second Today is a workaround (which by the way, works with TF3D "ON"); however, since topics requesting this functionality for TF3D started back in 1931 you would think that if such a tweek (sic) existed, somebody smarter than you would've found it by now. And seeing this forum now has 869015 members, that makes 869014 members smarter than you - and none of them has ever found this elusive 'tweek' since 1931.
So, yeah, maybe there is. Go find it!

It seems to be spanish and the idea is to use SecondToday from http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_wm_tools_im_cs.htm.
How about making an app that changes the today screen when you rotate the device?
So when it's in portrait you have TF3d and when it's in landscape you can have Calendar+ or whatever other plugins you want?

Simple GPS

Hello all,
I have searched the forums and drawn a blank (have found some other useful things though). I am looking for a program that just displays GPS co-ordinates, speed and altitude in a very simple interface. I have tried WMminiGPS and really like it, but the altitude doesn't work. Can anyone recommend a similar program?
Thanks in advance.

Location Based Profile Manager For Windows Mobile

There's a nice software for windows mobile devices called GSM Locator and you can find it at
http://www.handango.com/catalog/ProductDetails.jsp?storeId=2218&productId=246582
It uses GSM Cell Information and assigning various actions to be performed automatically when you enter or leave a specific place: set alarm, switch current theme, change ring tone , change volume , change ringer mode,change phone status ,change phone status ,change bluetooth status , send SMS ,Run Exe or e-mail message
It's a really nice software i'm using it on my HTC Tytan II Device and it working nice, you can try it for free for 13 days.
Enjoy It
It is something I have been thinking about for a while... Does it allow to change the profiles manually from the today plugin? Or to switch the WiFi or Bluetooth on/off?
Changing Profile Manually
GOOOOOD IDEA ,, but it dosn't switch profile manually it uses the cell information to switch profile automatically ,,
But they will take it into considration in next release ,, I sent your idea to them and they replyed this feature will included in next relase next FEB,, if you have another suggestions you can mail them at [email protected]
Guys,
for that matter, better use PhoneAlarm - it can't be beat http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html

Guys ,, GSM Locator is the better Location Based Profiler till now ,so don't miss the change to try it ,,
Another vote for Phone Alarm here - it really is not that complicated, and is very skinnable etc.

any way we can't compare GSM Locator with phoneAlarm because they are diffrent ,,
phone alarm aims to make phone usage more simpler and it gives users some profiling capabilities
but GSM Locator is a "Location Based Profiler" it aim to customize you phone settings based on your location throw a list of activites like
Change Device Volume
Change Phone Volume
Change Ringtone
Change Ringer Mode
Change Bluetooth state
Send SMS to a Pocket Outlook contact
Change Theme
Set Alarm
Start an executable file (.exe)
Change Phone State (ON ,OFF Flight Mode)
Also it can integrate with any other software using "start an executable activity". this feature gives you the ability to do any thing you want.
Much more GSM Locator support schedules that you can use to customize you setting on time bases without changing the profile.
You can use schedules to activate flight mode at night and turn it off at the morning or changing windows mobile theme once at the morning , at the evening ,at the night ,, etc,,
And you can get all those features with just 34.99 $ , WOW so great
GSM Locator is really different and powerfull
http://www.handango.com/catalog/ProductDetails.jsp?storeId=2218&deviceId=1149&platformId=30&productId=246582
Hey, PhoneAlarm does all this too, and much much more!
Besides location based profiler, it also incorporates Calendar and time-based profilers etc etc. GSM Locator is just one of the locator options, others also being wi-fi, cell broadcast, SIM-low resolution, and GPS. And PA's profiles are fully packed with an enormous number of features.
Dear nallvaico
We are not here for fighting we just sharing our experiences with the two software products ,, I used the both and I selected GSM Locator and also I see phoneAlarm not easy to use than GSM Locator .
this is my opinion as i'm free and this is ur opinion so, no problem at all ,, i see GSM Locator good for me.
and I advice people who searching for such software products to try GSM Locator
http://www.handango.com/catalog/ProductDetails.jsp?storeId=2218&deviceId=1149&platformId=30&productId=246582
And at the end of the day people can try the both products and decide which one is better for them comparing to the features the get and the cost they pay ,, take it easy dear

I will confess that I was wondering that? The recommendations were a bit too keen.....Best advice is to try them all as with most things.
IF (and I say IF) the OP does have links with that software, then it would be better to be upfront about it.

LOOOOOOOOOOOL(s) , i'm not working for any anyone else. I bought a software ,, and I see it's a good software product that's all ,,
Then, you seem a little too eager, I was thinking of trying the app but you seem too pushy with the "this is the greatest app ever attitude." That is why people are suspecting you. In XDA we are already see people plugging paid apps as a bit dubious, specially when they get as defensive as you have when someone mentions an alternative. I am positive I am not the only one who thinks that way.
In the spirit of XDA-Devs I am going to test the freeware app on my Hermes first, will report later.
In my experience PhoneAlarm, although being very very good software, makes my device sluggish and unresponsive. And I am not alone in this view. I have been using it for about a year, then switched to a simpler SPB something, then Phone Weaver... The phone feels much quicker without PA (same for Trinity and Omnia).
So I do understand that PA is not for everyone and GSM Locator may do the job better.
Are you guys reps of PA by any chance??
No - just a fan.
As I said, best thing is try them all - in the end I had no such issues with PA and still use it.

Easy & Effective lock ?

Hey guyz,
I've been searching on this forum and others on the net and i can't find a useful, stupid simple lock.
Anything simple like lock when sleeping and unlock when waking without any extra options like S2U2 will do.
How come it isn't already in X1... shame.
Any idea ?
Thanks...
USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION !
There are multiple threads regarding this on XDA.....
My fav is :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386451
im trying to write my own locker. but it is very hard to learn c++ : )
personally i used slideaction and s2u2 combination.. but if you dont like s2u2 just use slideaction, set the x1 to lock and off when it slider is closed, then unlock it when it is open. s2u2 also can unlock when u change orientation, so i just let s2u2 handles that while slideaction handles the only the switch off screen part..

Well finally tried them all and uninstalled them.
Some are not compatible with alarms clocks and I was worried it crashes my alarm and make me go late to work and others were turning off my phone too soon (S2U2 shuts down my screen after 3 secs... wtf ?).

phone calls registers

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to print or send to an excel file the list of calls made or received?
Another thing, is there a way to control the time of ONLY calls that you've made? If I go to the calls counting (in Portuguese "Contadores de Chamadas") I have the registry of ALL calls made and received. I can't control the time that I've spent where I've started the call (that can be very useful if you have minutes to spend), I only know the time spent on the phone.
Thanks in advance
I am also looking for a way

It's strange... I've download it and installed it, but the program doesn’t appear anywhere!
I’ve searched on all programs but nothing…
And I’m sure it’s installed because it appears on the “uninstall programs” as HudsonMobile PhoneDashboard.
Any suggestions?
Did you the following ?
As far as I remember, it was necessary to make a softreset on this program after installation.
Otherwise it's depending on your user interface, what you need to do.
For sure you can find the program either in the directory "programs" or a localized name e.g.
in german "Programme"
and a link in the following directory "windows/autostart".
If its not there, you need to make a link to there.

cimber

Cause to view it you need to disable TouchFLO and turn on Phone Dashboard.(settings/today/Items)
Phone Dashboard is a plugin "naked" today screen.
Unless you use an alternative overlay interface f.ex.SPB MShell-then simply tap the "show today".

First I install the Phone.Dashboard.Minute.Tracker, then when I need to use it I have to change from TouchFlo to Phone Dashboard?
But if I use the TouchFlo the program is working and registering all, right? To see it I only need to turn TouchFlo off, right? Or I can no longer use TouchFlo?
Don't exist another program to control the time used in calls that don't need all this? I think is something so simple compared to other things that WM can do...

About this festinger I'll give it a look to see.

Ok, I've downloades festinger (v.3.1.2) and tried it.
Good but not so good...
The registration is month by month. If I charge my phone on day 10 or 15, or more than once each month I can't get the info I need.
It should let me choose the period to show.
Historia became Free!
Hi, I'm happy to announce that all versions of Historia are now freeware. feel free to download and install it.
