Landscape screen on XDA2 -> DotPocket?

Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying DotPocket (seehttp://www.dotpocket.com/ ). I was wondering if someone has any experience with this util?
I read somewhere that it hard resets the XDA2 and because I have installed a lot of programs I kind of worried to try the trialversion.
Thanks,
JeDa

not sure if you read it but some people here seem to have exp with the program

I was using Nyditot's virtual display utility. I stopped after I finished a particular project but it worked OK for me . Actually does more than ladscape as you can alter resolution as well.
Ed

don't use dotpocket; it caused my unit to hang and no amount of soft resets did the trick. i had to do a hard reset to get rid of it. :x
on nyditot; so-so but causes some hangs requiring soft resets. seems to be more stable but still a little funky trying to get the right resolution to work with the right programs (like the phone app).
cheers

my phone pad wont load or work?

Hi I have noticed today
My text phone pad doesn't work? anyone know why this is? I had got used to it and now i cant get it loading!
What do i do?

This problem that you are experiencing with PhonePad is the same one we were experiencing with the Magician. The problem is that the SIP and the Today plugins share the some same resources. With a lot of Today Plugins (or an insulting one), you will not be able to change your SIP other than to Keyboard.
You can try disabling the Today Plugins one by one, trying to load the Phone Pad in between. That way you can find which is the insulting plug-in. Mine is the Resco Explorer plug-in. You can re-enable the insulting plugin once you load PhonePad and they will then work.#
Sometimes a soft reset and changing the SIP immediately after also solves the problem.

Dont know what the problem was but, its sorted.
without changing anything I just opened programs and tried to run the pad in there now it works well.
now just to try tomtom5 so far no one reported any problems a good thing!

OK it has gone again and it is not the today items and I have not installed anything yet,
any ideas what it could be or how i can track it?

Whats the phone pad anyway...

the pad is the like phone pad which comes up so you can enter text.
I have just reset the phone to factory standards and the pad works unit it starts to install stuff then it just stops.
I have removed all the stuff it will let me and still it wont work. I have to get this working...
Has no one else got this problem?
rom: 1.0.9.25wwe

OK this is odd I have removed all programs on the PPC and started nothing and it doesn't work, removed the sim and it does! OH! I need the sim.
oh and the JAMin runs much faster without the sim?? OK so as I do this I am performing a hard reset without the sim, the phone is clever its telling me there is no sim! "I know this!"
I am sure it is something to with a CAB file that installs when you first boot or after a hard reset. or it may be my sim? after all its working without my sim.
Ok hard reset done, without the sim it is working fine now time to put the sim in.............................................
OK its either the sim or the stupid text that tells me what area I am in. how do i turn the area notification off?

ok a way around it should you ever have this problem.
put the phone into flight mode and soft restart, with it still in flight mode load you sms or what ever and open the key pad, then turn off flight mode and you will see your key pad.
PS it will screw up after a soft reset so you will need to do the above again but a solution for the short term.

Must be your sim card...
My Jamin doesn't have this problem (Cingular)

Just traded Dopod 700 (Blue Angel) for the sleek and tiny Dopod 818 Pro. Keep hearing about this phonepad SIP, but don't seem to have one on my phone. I have the Traditional Chinese ROM, which is ok, but would love a phonepad... Any ideas what's up with it not being on the device?
Thanks,
Travis

Heya,
used to have this problem too until i read a solution from a thread here.
goto "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SIP" in registry
under "DefaulfIM"
Change this value to "{51A2CB38-154E-4C92-A625-A83871C99EC2}"
Thereafter everytime you soft reset, phonepad will load up automatically and it will function every time you need it to... hope this helps

1 reason found for Trion hangs/freezes at Windows boot screen

Hi,
seems I have nailed down one situation, when trion refused to boot through. Whenever I have WLAN active and the system hangs (happened last time today when trying to start up avantgo) its very likely the xda won't boot correctly after soft reset.
Usually I solved it by going to bootloader and softreset again. Today this didn't help, also booting with and without SIM/battery in all combinations didn't help.
So I connected the phone in bootloader mode and sent some commands via mtty.
Don't know why, but this helped the phone to boot again. Weird.
Now - is there a way to switch off WLAN via mtty in case it happens again?
Dirk
P.S.: never give up when the xda hangs, I refuse to use a hard reset (unfortunately it required xx reboot trials and 1 hour of my time...)

Hi,
still there are occasions, where my TyTN hangs at Windows Mobile screen while booting. I couldn't find any system behind it...
I had several suspicions:
- HTweakC while Power Saver Tweak was enabled,
- pBar, when being set to automatically load,
In both cases, removing this options seemed to help, but shortly after that the hangs came up again.
Did anybody else also experience frequently hangs while booting and could isolate some reasons for that?
P.S.:
I know some of the hangs are related with today plugins. The only I have currently is Birthdays 1.2.10. I just removed this as well, but the XDA seems to hang after the reboot again.

How likely are hangs at bootup time hardware related?
Is it a common problem with AKU2.3 and could an upgrade to 3.3 help?
I just don't want to mess around and waste a lot of time - would you suggest to send it in for repair?
(My operator claims, that I should do a hard reset. After that everything is fine. But why should I use an XDA without adding any more program and risking that behaviour?)

I have only ever had one hang on boot up. I have AKU 2.3. Used to get lots of freezing at other times, but it appears I have cured all that and it has settled down very nicely. I also have several today plugins spread over multiple desktops using WAD.
I just wonder (and I am no expert here) whether you may have a little corruption in boot up files. Have you actually tried a hard reset yet?
Having learned several lessons I took mine back to scratch with a hard reset and used SPB backup at each stage as I reloaded software. This way I am able to return to a nicely working setup (within 5 minutes) if I load something duff along the way.

Yep, did a hard reset and installed some programs. I will try to adopt your way of adding programs. Even if it takes a lot of extra time. Now I need at least 5-6 soft resets, until one works.
However - did anyone ever notice, that sometimes between the operator splash screen and windows mobile splash screen, there is a scrambled splash screen with vertical lines in windows mobile splash screen colors?

Do I understand you correctly - even after hard reset you still need several soft reset attempts to get it going?

Hi,
no... if its "O2 virgin" ROM its working.
okay, seems to answer my question regarding HW problem. It seems not to be one.
This is the SW I then installed (maybe in different order):
- Avantgo
- Flashplayer 7
- tcpmp
- SPB Gprs monitor (came with the hardware)
- Clearvue PDF viewer (came with the hardware)
- Birthdays plugin
- HTweakC
- SK Tools
- pBar
I removed battery and communication manager Icon from frontscreen with HTweakC and tried the battery saving tweak. More I can't remember.
I will pay attention now with setting it up again. Did some of the above ring a bell?

Nothing obvious but I wonder about pbar given it appears to monitor a lot of actions and will load at start up.
I'd also do the following with backups before and after. It's a pain doing some of this from scratch if things go pear shaped.

Typhoon WM6 and tomtom

I just wanted to open this topic up. I've been having problems running tomtom:
It seems that the buttons (including the joystick) stop responding. The only workaround i've found for it tapping the power button (or home button and clicking on tomtopm icon again). This makes jumps back to tomtom but activated the buttons for a few seconds...then nothing until the process is repeated the process.
I am followed the instructions in the "WM6 ROM for Typhoon(Rom Ready For Download)" thread heading. I am using sp3i smartphone.
thanks for any input.

Interesting notice and I'm not sure what to make of it.
I installed Pocket Controller-Pro 6 (for my sp3i). While running Pocket Controller-Pro on the PC it shows you what you should be seeing on the device itself (like a copy of lcd screen but its your computer). When I launch tomtom all the correct screens, prompts show up in Pocket Controller-Pro view on my pc. I can naviagate through different menus etc...
But on the phone itself the display is not changing at all (it is at wm6 home screen and stays there) I wonder if this is wm6 phone lcd resolution question...apparently tomtom is running perfectly (but for whatever reason it is not showing on the screen of the phone)

Just dug my c500 out for a change from my Vario Flashed to WM6 and mine is doing the same

possible fix
I just flashed wm6 from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323668
and tomtom seems to work okay...but have not had a chance to run it too much.

i have WM6 and tomtom5 moblie on mine and its is work great with no problems

THE PROBLEM of WM6 and TomTom 5.20 on Feeler (ANDOT image I have try) is:
THE DISPLAY DON'T TURN OFF: SO TT5 WORK GOOD, but BATTERY DESCARGE VERY FAST!!!
So you can use only for a short travel!!

URGENT HELP phone gets stuck in "enter pincode" screen

Hi guys,
I had a problem with my HTC Home plugin... I reinstalled another version (hermes 2.1) which didn't work perfectly (no profile icons). I then installed another version (Kaiser) which worked fine. I noticed that I had the other one still in my installed SW list and I removed it.
Apparently something went wrong here because now my phone gets stuck in "enter pincode" screen... the touchscreen responds (ligths up) and the stanby mode works as well but I can't enter my pincode (not even with the keypad). I can't connect to it anymore with my cable.
Anybody any ideas on how I can access my phone again??
Thx!

Assuming you took a backup before you started playing, I would suggest a hard reset.
You did use one of the free tools available here for backing up, didn't you?
One learns these things the hard way (I speak from experience).
Can you still use active synv?
Smiffy.

Off course I didn't
Well I didn't think I could crash my phone by un/reinstalling a today screen... My only mistake was that I didn't disable it before I started "playing"
Indeed lesson learned, in the meantime I've performed a hard reset and I'm reinstalling all my sw/tweaks
This topic can be removed
Thx
