1) Can you switch the today screen to the standard windows mobile today screen?
2) How does the virtual keyboard compare the the iphone's virtual keyboard.
3) Do windows mobile 6.1 applications work with this phone.
4) May I have a screenshot of the tasks application? I want to see how the INPUT FIELDS look like.

Mobile Shell 2.0 brought me to the idea:
It would be great to see preview of all running aplications by sliding from the top bar to the center of the screen (similar to Mobile Shell 2.0).
And then, by sliding left or right you could select the application you want to maximize or by sliding to the top right you could exit this selected application.
Sorry for my poor english, I hope everyone understands what I mean.
Is it possible to programm such a taskmanager? I have no programming skills.
What will be the advantage to tapping on the cross and then see what programs are running?
Hey folks,
I am still playing around with my new baby and am loving it ;-)
I have been using SPB Mobile Shell for months on my Polaris and like it very much, though TF3D looks nice for sure, but I am simply not used to it yet.
Anyway, which are the best and easy to use tools for customizing (change tab order etc.) on your HDs? I already got myself Weather Database Editor for adding my city to the accu weather database and it worked just fine.
A thing that I am missing right now, is a kinda finger friendly "Settings" tab like there is one in Mobile shell, that makes accessing every setting quiet easy with your fingers.
Any suggestions?

Sadly, Spb Mobile Shell does not work properly on the HD. Dropdown menus do not function, so it cannot be set up to your personal liking. Spb say that they will look into it at some time in the future.
The basic functions of the shell will work, and you can switch to it by installing SecondToday.

'tis true the drop-down menus don't drop down ... but if you're prepared to fiddle you can get the drop-down to scroll to your preferred setting. Click in the drop-down menu to highlight the first choice and then use the up-arrow and down-arrow cursor keys on the soft keyboard to scroll through the options that would normally drop down. When your preferred option appears, tap Enter on the keyboard. I've used this to set up Spb Mobile Shell 2 on the Touch HD. Still, it's worth learning TF3D.
Am I crazy in thinking TouchFlo looks much better than SPB MS ?
because I do !!!
Hey all,
I have just started working on porting a framework im making to Windows Mobile,
And im having some trouble with window sizes.
When i use CreateWindow with a width and height, for this example 200x200. When i compile it in debug, i get a window that is as you would expect, 200x200.
But when i compile the app in release, i get a window 400x400 and all the graphics in the window is pixelated (ie one pixel is now 4 pixels (2x2)). Im using GDI to draw the graphics.
But it makes it 400x400 wether i use GDI or just make a window, so my use of GDI is not the problem.
Is there some option i should know about that sets scaling?
Also, in debug, it leaves the start menu & status bar at the top, and the soft buttons at the bottom. While in release, it moves the start bar & status bar to the bottom with the SIP button between them, and no soft buttons.
Why?
Is it because i dont have a menu in my .rc file? but then why does it not do it in debug, while in release it changes the layout?
Thanks for helping out a noob dev

What language are you programming in?
What are you testing on? A real device or emulator?
What screen resolution are you testing on?
Programming in C++
Using Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK in Visual Studio 2008 PRO
On real device (WM6.1 HTC Touch Diamond) & emulator (WM6 PRO VGA emulator) gets the same results.
Resolution is 480x640.
Just for reference i worked it out.
It was lagging and was making everything double its size. (ie a 100x100 window was 200x200 pixels)
I forgot to set the target machine type in the release configuration.
The giveaway line was
Code:
1>LINK : warning LNK4068: /MACHINE not specified; defaulting to X86
But because i had whole program optimisation on, the line appeared near the top in the middle of some 'Build Started' lines, and i missed it.
So i just had to set the SubSystem (Configuration of the project > Linker > System) to "WindowsCE (/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWSCE)"
Hi!
I'm looking for a application that would add program shortcuts to the WM 6.1 home screen. Just 6-10 shortcuts, no tabs needed. Something like HTC Home (not available for my Acer M900) or SPB Pocket Plus (annoying tabs, too many unneeded features).
I tested a few programs like this, but they made too many changes to the start menu.
And it would be cool, it that or another application would allow to quickly change phone profiles (normal/vibrate/silent) either by a programmable button or better by shortcuts on the home screen. in this regard SPB Pocket Plus does not work on my M900.
Please recommend, thanks.
Hi there, both win 8 and device specific questions.
Win 8:
*How do i turn off the feature that makes windows maximize when they are dropped close to the top of the screen?
*How do i get my language settings straight? I'm swedish but I prefer system language english. Naturally i want swedish keyboard for the special characters, so i have set it to system english and keyb swedish. Whenever I type my spelling gets corrected to english.
*I cant find settings in email app. I want all mails to show, not only last 30 days.
*How do i sync my google contacts mail adresses to win 8 mail app?
Device specific:
*After having closed the lid a couple of times the multi gestures won't work. Like two finger scroll, pinch and swipe. Anyone know a solution?
Device is ASUS ultrabook s400c
Thx a lot

2) you can turn off auto correction and change keyboards on the fly, but first you need to set them up in control panel >region and language settings.
3)press ctrl + C on keyboard when in main app, go accounts, select account, you will then find settings from when to download items.
The system dictionary will be set to the system language normally. I am not sure you can change that.
For mail. Hold the windows key + C to open the charms bar (or move mouse to top right corner) while in the mail app. Click settings, you can add and remove accounts there and change the syncing options. Do the same in the people app to sync contacts.
For the first point, if you mean the maximizing behavior on the desktop, that's called Aero Snap (and it's not new; it was in Win7 since beta). I actually find it really useful, to the point that it drives me nots trying to use an OS without it now; try dragging a window to the side of the screen and you get it to fill one half of the screen, which is extremely handy. With that said, if you really want to, a brief search online should yield instructions for turning it off.
