Flashlight option...

DId anyone ever get the flashlight VJCandle thing operational on the ATOM??

I stopped working on it for a while. I needed a screenshot of the diagnostics program running on the atom to try to disassemble it. If you can send me one, it would help.
I know the atom boys on PDAPhoneHome started working on it. Not sure if they finished.
V

if you tell me how to get the screen shot i will happily send it to u..
Cheers

Use the program Magic SS to grab a screenshot. It's free, on google.
V

sorry actually meant how to run the diagnostics to get the screen shot

Diagnostic program should be in your windows folder. I think it's called SelfDiag.exe.
V

ok i ran selfdiag and it gives a list of items to check, i ran the camera flash and it simply asks is the camera light on Yes/no and once answered it gives it a pass..., am i missing something?

That's the one. It sounds lika a PITA, but a screenshot of the app asking the question re the flash would be useful for me to reverse engineer the selfdiag and find out what mechanism is used in the atom. I had a quick poke around, but it's full of text strings, and I can't run the app because I don't have an atom.

Hiya
ok screenshot attached let me know if you need anything else.

Hi Vijay!
Any updates on getting VJCandela to work with the Atom?
I'm really anxious to get this working - so if theres anything you need, let me know and i'll try my best to get it done.

Sorry Kunz, I haven't had time to do any further work on it, I got bogged down with some real life stuff (having a baby, moving house), and have only been getting back into coding slowly when time allows.
I didn't continue with the atom work because I thought someone must have finished the job by now!
What I need: an atom
But otherwise, I can't promise when, but I'll try to get back onto the case as soon as I get some time

bugger :\
lgood luck with everything vijay, hopefully someone else can jump on this and move us atom users forward =)

Can I Disable Auto-Rotate and Auto-Play of SD Cards?

Afternoon all,
Does anyone know if the auto screen resize/rotate function can be disabled on the Universal? It sends my GameBoy emulator wonky every time
Also whenever the SD card slot is used, the SD Card autoplays. This is quite a pain with TomTom on the card as it takes a good 40-50 seconds to fully load and exit TomTom. Can this autoplay be disabled?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Graham

you can disable the autoplay by renaming or removing the "2577" folder on the SD card.

Thanks for the info. Works a treat, even by just renaming.
Does anyone know if disableing the screen auto-rotate is possible?

Yeah, anyone with the screen rotate solution?

What's the screen rotate problem? I think I have a solution to it... but just fill me in first.
V

I'm guessing that they don't want the screen to rotate when they move it from laptop mode to PDA mode and vice-versa. Can be a problem with GAPI games and emulators when you need to move the screen out of PDA mode to get at the keyboard. In reality what they probably need is an app to lock the screen in PDA mode since this is what most games are expecting.

Yeah, I made one of those apps once, to prevent screen rotation.
It has some side effects, eg screen doesn't switch off when you close the lid, unless you expressly press power button (since the system doesn't know the lid is being moved around anymore). So I didn't release it.
Could you live with that handicap? Hopefully the app could be toggled, so it wouldn't be an issue.
V

I wouldn't mind giving it a go, I've been bitten by the screen autorotate a few times myself and needed to soft reset to get control back again.

Hi Vijay555,
Which is the name os that application? I have been looking for it in your site but I was not able to find it :-(
Thanks.

Vijay
Hi Vijay,
I'd love to try this app out. Sounds like exactly what I need.
I'd be very grateful if you could provide a link to it for me.
Thanks
Graham

As I said, I've never released it because I didn't think anyone needed it, it was just some research I was doing on another issue.
However, give me a few days to see if I can pack it into an app.
V

Thank You
Thanks very much.
Really appreciate it

Wooooow!!
I am eager to test it.
Thanks a lot!

hurray!! is it ready yet? my god I'm crying a very tiny tear because I'm hoping you'll release it and fix my problem...
I have no problem whatsoever pressing power button to turn off screen as I do it automatically to save power...

Yubastard: fortunately I re-wrote it, now it has no side effects, just disables the autorotation.
It's now called VJUzumaki, but it's unreleased. The code was written for someone else, and they have to decide what to do with it. PM me this weekend tho and I'll see if I can send you a beta.

Phone Button Problem.

Hello everybody, I am facing a strange problem. Some of my phone buttons have stopped working as they used to work before. The complete buttons on the front panel at times they work and at times they don't. The below mentioned buttons only are not working:
1. The Internet Explorer button.(Above on the right)
2. The Message button.(Above on the left)
3. The Call buttons. (The call picking and disconnecting button, below left and right) And the 4 keys along it.
And one more strange problem is the phone goes to the internet explorer by its own, at times when i open the phone it is on the internet explorer, though before going to the sleeping mode after getting locked it is on the normal screen but when i switch it on and put the password, i find it on the internet explorer screen. Pls help to resolve these problems, I'll highly appreciate you all.

The buttons would be controlled in the settings section.
But I have to agree about the IE coming up. I think its related to getting the phone out of the case on your belt and it presses itself - as it were. I've tried setting that button to nothing to see if that makes any difference.

Thnks for the msg. Can you advise where in the settings section the changes have to be done.
Regarding IE, i believe it is not due to removing and inserting in the cover. Even when it is removed from the cover, and at times if i press the key which is right below the contact(to open contact details), It opens IE and with the call button which is the green one also.
Pls help me, I never knew atleast with this device after spending a huge amount still i will come across such problem. I am really frustrated with the device.
Anybody pls help!!!!!
Regards Pankaj

which model do u have? i am having the same problem with my Softbank X01HT / Dopod 838Pro. Also change the buttons setting does not work

This may be quite wrong but I'm just wondering if you guys have programmes running in the background. You may know that just tapping on the X top right does not close programmes down fully. You need something like Magicbutton or HTC X Button installed to quickly and fully close running programmes. If you don't have such an application installed then some of these hard keys may be responding to the background programmes. It would not surprise me in this case that Internet Explorer pops up because it's never been fully closed.
Just a thought.
And if you knew all this already I apologise, but it might be useful to someone who didn't know.

Not saying this is the cause of your problem but could be.
Magic Button shows running programmes and lets you fully close them:
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=7438
It will ask for you to register and give e-mail address but you do not need to, you can still download without doing all that.
There are other programmes like HTC X Button but this one works fine.
Mike

i have the same problem! maybe something funny is going on with JASJAMs... anyway, i tried pressing the IE button after resetting the device (soft reset) and it STILL says it cant find the location. it must be SOMEWHERE in the registry!
can anyone please help??

Can we assume that IE works ok when you start it from the Start Menu, and that it is only when you try to start it from the hardware key it does not work?
Mike

yes thats exactly right. runs perfectly! i'm wondering if maybe the entry in the registry has gone missing...?

Given the programme is working fine, this I think will be a simple matter of remapping the key to the shortcut/programme. Unfortunately it's late here, hopefully someone else can give you the detail. If not I'll check this thread tomorrow.
Mike

Go to Start>settings>Buttons>
Select button 2 and choose Internet Explorer from the drop down list below.
(If IE is already chosen then I would choose something else for button 2 (anything) tick to say ok. Try the button it should open whatever programme you selected. Now go back to the buttons menu and choose Internet Explorer for button 2 again.)
Hopefully this will work if not report back.

hi guys i have same problem my panels buttons are not woking just center buttons are wokring, its not work 2 week , then suddenly one day it work but next day again offf.... does any 1 have same problem?

Combined LG Prada/Voyager Today Plugin

I found a really software that I want to share with everyone. Thanks to sundar_amn for this great find.
If you guys have seen the LG Prada or the LG Voyager phone, you will noticed that this plugin looks really nice with nice user interface. It might need a lil TWEAk to activate a few programs when pressing the buttons.
So far buttons that does not respond:
In Phone Menu: NewMMS
In Media Menu: Java Manager
In Utility: Voice Recorder brings up Task, instead of Voice Recorder
In Settings Menu: Backlight, USB Stick, Bluetooth, and Power does not respond.
If anyone can tweak this, it would be a great plugin. I'm trying to see through registry and other ways but could not find it.
Also, Software that is packaged into the plugin are PocketCM, GSFinder+, and GSAlarmClock.
FYI: Don't know who the real Author of this app though, but thanks

I installed it great theme but i need to know if someone can make a configuration file for this. i want to mainly add new icons/programs n change program paths. thanks in advance

Thats really one of the best plugins for the today screen that i know.
As long as there is no tool to configure it, i cant use it anyway...
Could someone please build that?
I love the fact thats its fingerfriendly!
thanx

02 plus
I also found an awesome plugin on this site. its called 02 plus, I love it, you can add several pages of icons and all the pages are easily accessabe by named tabs. the ONLY problem i have with it is my dialer pops up randomly.Especially after downloading,installing or changing programs. its such a handy tool im willing to live with the glitch but if anyone knows how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it!!! if anyone is interested in it here is the .cab for it. thanks in advance for any help given.

Hey, I am new to this whole changing stuff on your phone and tweaking it and all that. Now i see you guys have posted files. Do I only need to put the file on my phone and it will work or how do I do it?

ya iv had my htc touch for about 6 months now and I was definatly a newbie when I got it. they are very addictive. there's way to much to try to explain in one place. if you have any specific ?s feel free to PM me and ill help any way I can.

So what is the latest version of this software out? because i see a few out right now and want the latest version.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it, and sorry if its a noob question.

I have no idea what your talking about. But im going to try to install the WM 6.1 all over again with my vista computer (been reading the forums) and see if the problem persists.
Thanks
