Hello,
I have trouble with the accelerometers, running the "stock" DFT ROM. Indeed, when I play games that I paid from the marketplace, such as Need for Speed, which use the accelerometer, I have to put the phone at an angle like 10° clockwise from the horizontal plane so the game thinks the phone is horizontal.
I downloaded the level application from Microsoft, which allows to calibrate the G-sensor, but the calibration doesn't seem to be retained, and when I go to Need for Speed again, the problem still exists. There is no in-game calibration setting.
Does anyone know if there is a registry setting or application that would allow to calibrate the accelerometer correctly and, more importantly, save it as a system-wide setting ?
Thanks in advance
Edit : I searched XDA, and Google, but I only found solutions pertaining to LG/Samsung phones that required entering a "factory mode", which I guess doesn't apply to HTC phones, since each manufacturer usually has their own firmware.
Interested in this also ???????????
I have this problem too, any solution? thanks
Hi,
if it's still an issue, there's an application in the marketplace by microsoft called "level"
it seems to do the trick

Easy to replicate.
Just launch OziExplorerCE on the Athena. Then open a map. It's shown perfectly in VGA resolution without the need of those programs to change to real VGa mode. BUT...
If you click and keep press the screen a pop-up menu comes up. Choose Full Screen in order to see the map in full screen mode. The map appears in the screen for a while and then the map area goes white. If you press the screen and drag it the map comes up again until you release the screen.
The bug is on releases 1.12.32 and 1.12.35 (1.12.3e3) and in the development release 1.11.6h which was the first one supporting VGA mode.
Can someone replicate the problem? Any idea on solving it?
Thank you in advance.

P.D.: Sorry about my poor english.
I tried to replicate the bug in a Fujitsu n520 which is VGA too and the OziExplorer works perfect there... so... looks like a problem only in the Athena/Ameto/HTC Advantage.
it tries this

Hi.
I know CompeGPS... but you know I got hundreds (hmm... even thousands) of maps and ortophotos (is this spanglish?) of my country calibrated (again spanglish? I mean with .map file generated) for OziExplorer... and I'm not too sure about converting all of them in batch-mode into a format recognized by CompeGPS.
Anyway thank you for answering.
mahjong
any news?
Is there any news on OziExplorer?
I have the exact same issue, in full screen my maps go blank.
I can zoom in or out and the map becomes temporarily visible
but when switching on the gps the screen blanks out again...
Thanks for any advice.

I'm still with the problem even running the Developer release of OziExplorerCE. I was told that that one should fix the problem... is not.
So... Fugawi or CompeLand looks a solution if full-screen is a must. Anyway I keep on using OziCE since I have hundreds of maps and sat-photos calibrated for Ozi.
converting
The new (HTC WM6) Rom upgrade did not help either...
Is there a quick way to convert all the ozi maps to one of the other programs (Compe, Fugawi)?
Sent an email to OziExplorer and HTC on the issue (weeks ago) and have not received any reply...
Compe people has info in their web page about batch converting Ozi maps but the problem is that I like OZI. I'm not aware about batch conversions on Fugawi.
compeGPS changed my life...
Well, as I did not get any replies nor found any solutions, I tried compeGPS Pocket Land and it is as if I am timewarped... I thought I could not live without Oziexplorer, but I can...
Far more versatile, 3D view (like TTN) with track up (maps turned so they show you where you are heading), changing moving map icons with a pic of my car, etc. etc., and support that does reply to your questions...
The PC version allows you to search for all sorts of maps available for yor area from within the program (and shows them there).
I too had thousands of maps in ozi format, but I found an easy (batch)conversion program by John Tserkezis: MakeImage (eventually combined with map2ppc for cleaning .map files) which does the trick!

Hi all,
I received yesterday my new i8000.
There are 2 features that are seriously missing and I was wondering if anyone knows if they can be restored by a tweak or even an application:
1. the mouse: I hate using the pointing device they give out with the phone, but in some cases, fingers are too big. The mouse they had on the i900 was perfect.
2. Screen rotation/landscape mode: This option also disappeared, comparing to the first Omnia.
I would be happy to hear people's comments.
Thanks.
eh? Screen rotations gone? Are you saying that if you turn the device sideways it won't re-orientate all the screen. This would be a real pain in the a*&e for things like Opera!
Hi dstu69, screen rotation is there but not for all apps. Mine works with Opera. May be try calibrating your device in Settings.

Thank frak for that!
too many problems
Actually, some automatic rotation is indeed available in some applications, but, for example, I have a GPS application that loads based on the current orientation and it looks bad in portrait mode and there's nothing I can do to fix it.
Also, I'm discovering more problems:
1. When I download emails (IMAP, but I didn't test it in POP3), if i click on them to view them, they are not shown.
2. The excellent mouse we have in the original Omnia disappeared.
3. The flashlight (volume-down long-press) also seems to have disappeared.
This phone is somewhat disappointing. One would think that they'll keep the good stuff and improve the phone. Instead, they took away the things that made the first version so great
Omnia II Missing Features
I just sold my Omnia i900 assuming that the I8000 would build upon its predecessor's strengths? What a shame for Samsung! Here are my findings so far:
Aside of all the issues already mentioned I learned the following:
- Screen reorientation works on some apps but also on e-mail/messaging, provided you select the Samsung keyboard Irgh!!!! Silly as it may sound, that is the case!
- Mouse is history as the CUBE does not have the sensor built in!
- Signatures do NOT work except when creating new mail! Yes, the flag for inserting signatures for replies and forwards was selected!
- There is no way to advance from one e-mail to the next other than going UP to the in box and selecting the next one manually! That IS stupid SAMSUNG. like the previous Omnia, one should be able to flip through e-mail with a gesture as if we were flipping a sheet of paper!
- Fianally a managed to synchronize the sent items folder in outlook! However, you have to unselect the TouchWiz interface, go to the email application and select the options menu. Otherwise it is inaccessible!
- I hope WM6.5 rendition of Samsung takes care of that? Does Anybody know when WM6.5 will be made available?
Cheers

I agree that there are some issues with the Omnia II i8000 but many of the ones you listed work fine...
1. Screen Orientation-Yes it's automatic for Opera and SMS/MMS typing but no others. However, there is a fix where you can assign a button to rotate ANY screen at ANY time. Check it out on here...http://www.modaco.com/category/410/i8000-omnia-ii-http-i8000-modaco-com/
2. I agree about the Mouse and the CUBE not using the sensor.
3. I had NO PROBLEMS with signatures straight out the box.
4. If you start reading your emails from the top of the list, after you DELETE one, it does move to the next one. I agree you have to go back UP in order to read the next one if you don't DELETE the one you were reading.
5. I had NO PROBLEMS syncing SENT mail from Outlook straight out the box.
6. There are several WM6.5 ROMS over on MoDaCo. I've tried a few and each have their own PROS and CONS. Last I heard was Samsung won't have a release until early 2010. By that time, I would have moved on to the HD2 U.S. edition (assuming it's available).
Got my i8000 with original Wimo 6.5 (21856.5.0.65) a few days and i´m happy with it (previous device was nike with manila 2d).
1. there is a tool called OrientationDetection from mcbee to define the apps to autorotate.
2. don´t nedd a mouse or a stylus. fingerfriendly touchwiz let you make all settings with your finger.
4. Perhaps it´s 6.5, but i can flip through sms/email with sliding the finger from right to left.
I would totally agree with positive comments of I8000.
This is my first non-HTC phone in last 5 years (S200-Trinity-TP-T.Cruise) and I must say WOOWWW!!!
Build quality unseen by HTC, hardware (just put SKTools benchmark you'll see some 50% better performance over HD), lightweight.
I must say - I don't like Samsung software - but prefer naked WinMo. But when was re-cooking the problem? At least for this forum members?
So in one word, Samsung made terrific WinMo phone.
Must say that every HTC I owned forced me to certain compromise:
1. Qtek S200 (speaker would die)
2. Trinity (excellent, but paint peels quickly - come on!)
3. TPro (sold it in 3 days, keyboard wobbled, and was not substantially faster than Trinity - which could be overclocked if needed as well as S200)
4. Touch Cruise (thought I could be easy for a while - but speaker is nightmare, lousiest screen of all HTCs I owned (kinda yellowish) - later I found out that HTC changes vendors for certain parts so check your build date before buying). Not to mention Qualcomm drivers issue. Trinity was faster even when playing Scumm games!
I simply cannot understand this phone to have lower price in the shops compared to HD. Faster CPU (with scalable speed), AMOLED, 720x480 video at 30fps, 16GB integrated storage, lighter 20% and roughly 50% faster in all benchmarks. SKTools build I used put it as a fastest PPC device (didn't have HD2), and not just in processor - check out Direct Draw test - second fastest after Dell Axim x51.
Dunno for sure - but that might mean that beside CPU raw-power someone also put some effort in writting proper drivers.(ahemmm!)
I can only say - we my friends have been heavily ripped off during past years for owning WinMo devices. Thank heaven for competitors!
i have my one of my buttons maps to rotate the screen (above camera buttom) and it works quite well most samsung apps that have rotate work without the button but if i want to force it i can using a button so i get the best of both worlds
from modaco
To be able to manually rotate the screen in any application: go to registry hk_local machine – system – gdi – rotation; in key HideOrientationUi change 1 to 0. Then open Settings – Personal – Buttons and assign to any button the command “Rotate Screen” (you can see this option after you change the registry and only in winmo setting page) (working well for me, I prefer to be able to choose when I want to view something in landscape mode than relaying on how I rotate my phone…)

Auto rotation can be achieved by using Orientation Detection. You can selectively choose which programs to autorotate.

There is also a onboard-autorotation. It can be configured in registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\AutoRotation
It is recomended to select allways the next upcoming number in the string
The whole number of strings must be set in the dword "Count"

I've made a release here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5523515
Cannot install any type of Japanese language packs
If anyone decides to install CE-STAR or any other language enabled softwares, pls dont do it, ur contacts, emails and SMS stuff will disappear!! I tried around 5 different softwares already and really messes up the phone!!!!
I use my HTC Touch for GPS in the car, as well as being my media player, and also (obviously) as a phone.
This usage finds me frequently rotating the screen to the right, and turning on BT when I get in the car. Then when I get out, I have to undo those changes. It's a number of clicks to do this each time, and becoming something of a hassle.
I'm thinking of writing an application to automate the process. I wanted to get some feedback before I start.
1. Is anyone else interested in a project like this? (Note that this is just the beginning, additional functionality could be added, feel free to brainstorm!)
2. Is anyone who is interested in this project willing to beta-test this software?
Thanks for your input!

I have a TILT with the 85 degree hardware mod
use it in the car all the time. trouble is that I drive different cars, and do not have a mount. so I usuall have to have it sideways all the time, because of the charger, and rarely able to flip the keboard.
I have an HV switch in Quick menu, but it usually turns the screen the wrong way. also manila keeps making the screen go back to portrait.
I would like to have a quick hardware button to switch, but again, manila gets in the way. do you think you can eliminte that problem?
in other words, yes I am interested if that issue can be solved.
hi, i´m interested too man, but i have a touc cruise, so also i can be a betatester,
and i´m a programmer too. so.---
Totally want this!
You might want to check out G-Profile first, it will do this and more. Profiles can be set based on time, cell id, running programs, or even equipment, such as being connected to power and headset at the same time. You could have G-Profile launch the app you want, set the volume, ringers, screen orientation and brightness, and turn on/off BT and WiFi when connected, then automatically switch it all back when you disconnect. Best part of all though, when profiles are activated, instead of linking to a single app to be executed, you can have it run a mortscript, upon which the possilities are pretty much limitless. You could get in your car, plug in your phone and have the script ask you if you want to listen to music, or navigate, or both. I use this setup with a script that asks me if I want C-apiSRO or Coreplayer when I get in my car when I connect my BT headset.
Oh I kinda forgot the important part, here is the link.
http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gprofile/about
Its from the same dev that made G-alarm, which should give you an idea of how nice this app is. Oh and best part is that its free.
I'd love to see a simple application that will do this. I would personally like to see an icon that will rotate the screen 180 and 270 with a simple tap. Bluetooth part would be nice as well (personally wouldn't use it much because i have my bluetooth connected to my headphones or car bt).
+1 on G-Profile. It'll allow you to create profiles that control radios, orientation, and launch programs. Of course, you could also just make use Gyration or some other similar rotation program to allow you screen to rotate via the G-sensor.
Hi Guys - I've got a Mortscript script somewhere that does this, although in my case, it was to flip the display on my Athena 180 degree's, as it was suspended upside down on the car holder I've got. I ran it from the HTC Manila 2d programmes tab.
I'll try and dig it out, but really, it wasn't complexlicated - worth a look certainly.
(Hey Diablo, I played with Ageye's implementation, and found it to be similar to what I'm working on, with more options. This is a fun project though, so I'm going to stick with it if there's interest.)
This is simply a proof of concept to prove it works functionally.
Please note that there is no installer (.cab) package right now, nor any icon, and no application settings. When you launch the application, it will determine your screen's current orientation and flip it, and it will also determine your BT's current setting and flip it. That's all this will do in it's current state.
What I need from you:
What model phone do you have?
Did the functionality work as I described? Any problems?
How would you change/improve this application?
I am considering adding a first-run type setup to determine how you want to run the flip--IE just turn on BT (as a shortcut), etc. Ideas?
Note: As it stands right now, V15 of NFSFAN's ROM using M2D will not "flip" orientation. Titanium is fine, but M2D doesn't like the "flip" and the screen will revert to standard orientation, even though the application runs as normal and will enable/disable BT.
Simply unzip this package and place it on your phone's memory--local, SD card, it doesn't matter. Make sure you include the .exe and the .dll. Then you can run the application by clicking it. Note that you can click and hold on the app. to send a shortcut to "Programs", to make it convenient to launch.

Thanks!
Idk if you have found a solution for this yet but all this could be done quite easilly with mortsript. Then all you would have to do is run this when u get in and then run when u get out and it would do everything for you.
I don't know how much you are aware here about our Samsung application autoclosing bug/feature/whatever. This appears to be connected to taskmon.dll service since when I disable it, it stops. Thing is that this dll is also appears to be controlling another dll service motionagent.dll that controls things like slider response in the system.
So my question is: is there a way to either "emulate" taskmon or get info from/to motionagent based solely on data from these 2 files?
are you talking about Omnia II? I can never run more than 3-4 apps at the same time and always the "oldest" one is being closed. Veeeeeeeery annoying!
Both Omnia II and B7610 have the same problem, but for you it's easier and since you don't have slider you shouldn't have problem i have. Try this and let me know how it works for you.
great! It seems to be working!
What is this slider thing you are talking about?
Well slider is hardware keyboard that b7610 has.
maybe it's working to hook into the DLL and disable calls to function "SuspendThread"?

I am looking for a tweak and or prog that prevents the screen to go off for a specific app (a flight navigation prog that does not keep the screen alive automatically when on battery, unfortunately no support from programmer).
I tried LUMOS V. 10 RC2(have it also on my Touch HD): does not suffice and conflicts with apps that DO have the screen off prevention when active (Opera, Skyfire, Copilot etc., etc.)
GLight does not work
BrightLight: can´t be found anymore
looked up "codeproject.com/KB/mobile/WiMoPower1", nice site, understand how to trick but I´m no programmer.

i know that you can do this with s2u2.
