XDA II ROCKS :)

Hello, i am new to this forum as well as my XDA II is...
I just coiuld not resist, so i got it yesterday. 1st on Bristol (thats what they say)
It's locked to o2 network (for now...)
It's fast! I played a 240x180 wmv video- full frames! The menus are also very fast.
The camera in full screen is amazing! It has zoom up to 4x.
Excelent sound both for phone and mp3-video
It comes with a usb 1.0 cradle, an adaptor for charging the unit without the cradle, a leather case, hands-free, and a cd with the manuals and Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7
ROM VERSION: 1.03.00 USA
ROM DATE: 09/24/03
RADIO VERSIONl 1.05.12
PROTOCOL VERSION 1337.12
My questions:
is it possible to syncronize through bluetooth? I get it conected but i can't syncronize.
Is it possible to surf the internet by conecting through bluetooth with my computer?
What is the bigest amount of memory the sd slot can take?
Is there a place where i can setup the gprs for o2 (i think i messed it up! This is my first pda as well)
Can i write txt messages in other than english? I am Greek and texting in Greek is quite important for me. It recognizes greek because i test it with a greek txt i sent it to..
Congrats this site has great work in it...

if you mean for video then it's cool if you mean that it have 4 times digital zoom then it's useless as soon as you get the image to a pic program you have infinity digital zoom

think you need a greek rom for it for both writing reconizing and spellcheck

I would like to ask about the Leather Case. Is it the one for XDA II or the old one ?
Thanks a lot in advance,,,

it is a new version which contain a hole for the camera.i love my xda II as well

Bluetoothnews.com has an excellent tutorial on synchronizing your Pocket PC using Bluetooth.
http://www.bluetoothnews.com/features/ActiveSync.htm

Read the Addendum!
Did you read the bit in the addendum that says how to use activesync over bluetooth?
Start >Settings> System> Bluetooth Settings?

Thank you for your answers!
Unfortunately my pc bluetooth is from the Microsoft Bluetooth desktop, which does not have any programs for setting up the com. But i haven't give up on that one yet.
Rudegar: "think you need a greek rom for it for both writing reconizing and spellcheck"
But the Pocketpc 2003 should have greek support right? How do i change language for pocketpc? Like lets say i want to create a word document in greek...

not sure with greek but with arabic and asian signs you need to get a special ROM as in not the rom you got in the system now
== flash a new version of the os supporting greek to the xda
though i could be wrong

XDA rocks...
I have just got the new XDA II.
Works Just fine with SD512mb card.. (Glad the slot is in the top now - less chance for it to fall out)
Runs PocketTV smoother (better frame rate) and the new screen is much brighter and clearer.
The new case does not have the old metalic clips (that used to cause paint flakes) instead it has a flap over with a clip. It also folds out from the bottom not the top and instead of sliding it in to the side with velcro it slots in the top. Note is has a hole in the back to alow taking photos while in the case and little slots for extra memory cards and credit card - but dont put credit card in it cos they will get wiped!
Nice new sw installed thats not on the standard Windows 2003
Photo Contacts - (cannt see ring tone options)
Clearvue Pdf (PDF Viewer)
Clearvue PPT (Powerpoint viewer)
Camera + Video
MMS Composer
Wireless modem (Like recent XDA Rom update)
Album
O2 Active User interface (may need to find how to disable this one !)
Ultra profiler (Quick change , Silent, meeting, bluetooth etc)

OCR and camera dictionary

Dear friends,
I've been researching the area of using OCR (optical character recognition) in the field of Pocket PCs and Smartpones as basis for providing a camera dictionary.
I've stumbled over applications as
*) MediaSeek "Language Translations Via Camera Phone" application announcement, but wasn't able to verify if it is already in use
*) ABBYY Mobile OCR SDK 2.0
Just wanted to ring in and ask if you know any pocket pc applications using OCR ing?
Thanks for your help
kr Andrew

I tried using Worldcard Mobile (a commercial app) for business card OCR, but the camera on my Titan just doesn't get clear-enough resolution for macro photos... it wasn't able to recognize any of the text except the company names which are usually larger than the rest of the text.

Thanks skatsev,
This WorldCard Mobile is a very nice program - thanks for the hint - I've just tried it out and it works very well. I'm looking exactly for apps like these and am really amazed that there arn't more around....
kr Andrew

I rememebr there was one software for the SE P990 (Symbian operated) - find more here
http://3gvision.com/prod-scan.htm
I hope they will do similar to PPC

is there any other software than WorldCard Mobile?

Garmin XT 2GB Sim Card Lock Problem

Hi Folks,
I bought Garmin XT for my touch HD (Dutty 1.7) and will receive it within the next couple of days.
I heared and read in this forum that it is designed to be used with the included 2 GB card !!! I have 8 GB card that carry all my songs and data and can't exchange it for a 2 GB card !!! I didn't know this fact before buying the software and now its too late to cancel the purchase !
Is there any way to copy the software from the 2 GB included memory card to my current 8 GB card.
Please help as its not practical at all to carry 2 Memory cards all the time and keep switching them !!!
Thanx

I am using garmin tx V5 the latest with Maps loaded on my 8GB card without any problem i wonder why you are thinking that it wont work. I dont know if it worked because the garmin i have is cracked not purchased but i think it will work with your 8GB card. Dont worry about it.

Thank you very much for your reply, I read in this forum and others that you cant copy the software to your memory card and you have to use the 2 GB supplied card that comes with the package !!! I got some tricky steps on how to copy the software to my 8GB card using a key Generator as the software comes locked to the included 2 GB memory card ID !!(There is ID for each memory card). I will try it once I receive the software.
I would like to ask you if the Panoromio viw is working on your HD as I heared that it gives some error.
Thanx

I dont know know what you mean by Panoromio viw i think panoramia view ? Anyway I dont use it that much but for my Lebanon map, it rocks, it is really very clear and precise.
If you need any help PM me as it is not allowed to help cracking/working with warez.

Thank you very much, I am still waiting for the Garmin package to arrive, offcourse will mail you if I need any help.
Thank you very much

I am having the same issue witx garmin xt, you can't copy the software to a bigger card. Can somebody pm me some help please??

Panoramio works however right now if the phone is showing garmin in portrait view it will give you an error when you click on Panoramio its a bug in garmin.
I installed HDtweak and in the settings on phone choose button and change the option to portrait, then all you have to do is long press the call button to change to landscape and Panoranio will work
I got the Garmin XT on cd so good luck with copying to another card

HTC Bonus CD Apps: Worldcard Mobile,GPRS Monitor & Backup

Hi,
got these apps on my bonus HTC diamond cd might come in handy for somebody.
1.PenPower Worldcard Mobile
2.Spb GPRS Monitor
3. Sprite Backup
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=74c3c2903c2234528c9e7c56ba37815fb67c8a1363a6f18e

Thanks a lot I can really use the first one, hope it will work

thanks man, i lost my disc an age ago and have had trouble finding world card anywhere.

7 months i have my diamond and never have put the disk in the tray. ;-)

many many thanks... i've seen world card in action on HTC HD (Blackstone) ... great tool...

Awesome...you rock.

World card is unfortunately not working on my Diamond. Did it work for anyone else?

Hi,
I don`t have World Card mobile on the CD (Vodafone pack), but got it from somewhere else and works perfect on my Diamond.

We will need the product S/N which is on the CD to be able to activate this.

Do anyone have the serial number?

Hi, do anyone have the serial number for this apps? Please? Please?

multi touch is already supported in many apps (even in Igo)

look @ 5:00
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YWhijK1O0U&feature=player_embedded
video in arabic.
maybe enabling multi touch is a trivial matter. i seriously doubt that HTC modified all these apps in such short notice. so far i have seen the following apps demonstrate multi touch:
IE
opera mobile
google maps
Igo,
TF3D,
all office aplications
media player
anybody has any idea about that

These is my review
IE : Does not support the multi touch
opera mobile : working with multi touch
google maps : I don't know
Igo : working with multi touch
TF3D : I don't know
office : I playing with Excel and support the multi touch
media player : support multi touch
thanks

cool (would be even cooler if you still have it), was that video shot in Gitex or Riyadh?
for multitouch on IE look at this video http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/ie-mobile-supports-multitouch-on-htc-hd2-windows-mobile-65 its probably just a newer software revision than the one in gitex. that was a very nice video btw
oh and i found this interesting answer
l3v5y says:
PMI'm willing to bet that the multitouch is provided by an HTC service that's integrated with the touch screen driver, and is nothing to do with MS. My Diamonds zoom wheel zooms in in IE, that was an HTC "Innovation".

I have to say, I don't speak any Arabic other than please/thankyou/hello/goodbye but this video review has been one of the best I have seen in terms of a tour around the device. Well done.

Is there a Windows Phone (Mobile) version of IGo? I can only find an iPhone version.
Does anyone know if HD2 comes with IGo or any other navigation software out of the box?

You must be kidding - I've been using iGo before the iPhone even appeared, and the iPhone version is a rather dumbed down one. I don't know where you can (legally) download it though.

I assume whenever the zoom-bar of Diamond 2 works, multituch zoom works too (this means it works in messages too)

Thanks for the link.
How do you deal with the need to keep the software on the original SD card? I install most of my software on an 8GB card. Switching between the two seems impractical. And from reading the info at the site, it doesn't look like you can transfer their card data to a larger card. Or is there a way to do that which NavNGo would rather not make generally public?
Thanks.

Does this multi touch pinch zoom functionality work while reading Mircosoft Exhange Email?
Any Idea?

You can't run a legal copy from anywhere except their card, you can't just copy the data over to another one.

Just noticed that an 8GB card is available, so I'm assuming there's more than 6GB of free space. I could work with that.
I tried to find a functioning demo showing the maps AND offering examples of the voice directions. No luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
