Hi
Having trouble trying to install software onto my Touch HD. Started off trying to install Isilo, so just thought it was just that it was not compatible, but tried more programmes and all the same. Anyone else had this problem?
Regards
Bigmaz
Maybe you should take a look at this :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software
Yup, seen that list, tried various ones and no luck. Isilo is actually in that list, thats how i seen it was compatible with the HD
Just switched my phone off and then on again and all the programs started installing, very weird...... I have had a Windows Mobile for years but never seen this. Ah well, its fixed now

Sounded like your standard Windows fix. i.e. turn your phone off & then on again! Solves so many problems....lol
hello everyone,
i've see a Version 11 of the Windows LIVE programm at my marketplace, but if i install it only version 10.7 will be installed.
On Microsofts Page i can only download version 10.7.
Has somebody a version higher than 10.7 on his device?
Seeing the same thing with facebook.
Which forgot to change the version number in the actual app (though it looks no different).
BHut I installed 11 windows live, and it still says 10.7, but it is 11, because it looks completely different.
before they "released" the 11 version a version named 10,9 was at the marketplace
i don't understand microsofts logic
Be careful installing 'latest versions' thinking they are better. The latest desktop version of MSN is *horrid*.
You mean version 2009?
Whats "horrid" about it? The layout, the backgrounds, the ability to actually change more of it without plugins like messengerplus?
The 10.7 version has annoying bug. If I disconnected from my network without signing out, it impossible to sign in again. I got a message that i'm already signed in... Does any one know how to fix this ?

It's on the marketplace. Just do a search on the word live.

I wish that I could solve it with SR, but I think that the server still see me as connected and there is nothing I can do from the PDA.

Not all users see the same content on the marketplace, it depends on your region.

Managed to get a copy of the 10.7.0600 WM Live
Hehe, managed to extract the latest Windows Live client 10.7.0600 (dated 30/12/09, NOT for smartphones) off Marketplace.

It's not actually the same version as the one on the device. It appears to be another faux-pas on the part of Microsoft (they recently updated the facebook app, but not the version number!)
I installed it earlier and it's a much nicer version. Just hope I don't come across the bugs mentioned earlier!
i have reinstalled it, on the german hd2 it is the the same version... (got the x1, too, und there it was update... the fonts are now bigger an so on...
Installed FroyoStone_Sense to my HD2. I've found that every time I switch back to WM by doing a soft reset a particular folder is damaged, forcing me to restore it. Should I be installing the Android folder to a clean, empty SD card? I was under the impression that I could just add the folder to my existing WM SD card.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know about other people but I install the droid folder onto a freshly formatted sd card to make sure. Many of the files on the droid folder will only be read by the WM OS system unless you hook into a PC.

That's what I've been doing, and I've used probably about 10 builds and have never had the problem you describe.
What folder is it?
I do have one question though, why do you 'soft reset'? Is the build your using always freezing up or is it to access some of the non-droid applications associated with WM?

Soft reset to go back to WM. Haven't gone beyond the most basic experimentation with the Android build. Need to get some work done occasionally.

It's the MarsWare folder in the Programs folder. I still use that app outside of HTC Sense. The folder has been corrupted each time I've rest to WM.
-Bob-
Hmmm, is the file that keeps getting corrupt a file that you need access to with the Android system or the WM system?
If you have two memory card then I would keep the WM files separate or try a new build, I have never had the problem myself, if you want my build then let me know.
Sounds strange. I assume Android doesn't use that folder for anything, so it shouldn't affect it.
How much space do you have left on your card?

Do you hook your "Droid" up to the PC? I've been switching back to WM before connecting to my PC. Didn't want to mess up ActiveSync capabilities with WM.

If you hook up droid to the pc then it won't mess up your activesync but thats not what i'm saying.
The folder which keeps getting corrupted, is it stored on the SD Card in its own folder or is it being stored under the ANDROID folder in the SD Card?
The only other way around this apart from carrying two sd cards around with you is to get the DUAL-BOOT loader onto your phone so even if you reset you should have full access to all file and folders.

I don't know then mate. When you say you can restore the folder, does that mean you have a backup of it somewhere? If so, just rename the knackered one and restore the original again and maybe the knackered one will bear the brunt of the problem.
Not a fix, I know, but maybe a workround for now.

The files are only needed in WM. It's a weather program. Looks like I should buy another 16gb card for the Android.
I'm just starting with the Android thing, so ALL suggestions are appreciated. Where can I find your version?
Another question (since I have your attention ); the music player seems to interface perfectly with my WM installed music folder. I use a WM software package, Pocket Tunes, to sync playlists. Those playlists show up in the Android setup, which was amazing to me because they don't in the WM version. That left me with the impression that the Android system reads the WM format fine. Your thoughts?
Thanks again.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I was doing a restore, but then deleting the damaged folder. I'll try leaving it on.
I think I should just buy another 16gb card and use it exclusively for the Android stuff.

I believe that the pls format is universal, but I don't know for sure that Android will read it correctly. I guess the obvious answer would be to try it and find out.
I've never been a big playlist fan, so I can't talk from experience.

The Android build seems to dominate over WM for a couple of things, the music thingy is new to me but for apps like facebook etc android seems to dominate and there is not much you can do about it. I think the dual-boot loader is your best option as each OS will have a separate part of the SD card to work from, this is a theory but im not too sure otherwise, anyone else got any ideas about a bootloader?
hey,
I had the same issue with weather panel running off "second home screen" app, using DDT theme, whenever I ran android then went back to weather panel the theme wouldn't display correctly, it appears to corrupt the themes folder.
however installing WP on the device memory sorted it, tho I don't use windows anymore so can't say if it was a permanent solution.
last thing if you think you will switch to android and want something with similar features (+extras), take a look at palmary weather it's a paid app (less than a shot of brandy)
can only buy from there sight tho.

Maybe you could even get some apps which will do what you need on the android system so you wont have to change back to WM again...that could be a possibility.

I suspect a couple weeks with Android and I'll make it permanent. Right now I'm traveling, so I'm a bit less willing to drop my crutch (WM) right now.
I am also VERY impressed with all the help on this forum. It'll make the transition much less painful.
Thanks.

Hi Folks,
No sliding input in Windows8 is really crappy and boring!
No smart prediction for typing in Windows8 is stupid!
Take this! Next generation input For Windows!

TouchPal official website: www.touchpal.com
Follow us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/touchpal

When will it be available?
That looks really slick.
Will this just be available on both windows 8 and windows RT?
I'm interested. I used to have Touchpal in the WinMo 6 days. It was a great keyboard back then. Truly revolutionary.
Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express
I see it is avail for download has anyone tried it yet?? http://www.touchpal.com

I saw it mentioned somewhere else that even though English is not a set up option it is still the default language after set up.
Yep, you are correct it will default to English... but on my Asus 400 didn't work at all. Changed all the preferences and could not get swipe or word prediction to work.
Guess it's still in it's infancy.
windows RT
i wish someone told me it was only windows RT...would have saved me a lot of time!
i hope someone gets this going for windows 8 PRO!

Where did you see only RT, even Engadget mentions the Pro.
:crying:
where?
well i installed it and i can definitely say it didn;t work on the pro!
---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------
and when you get ready to install it has corupted letters..... it's not meant for PRO...trust me. if it was on the PRO it would be in the store and all over youtube!
If it was for RT, you wouldn't even be able to start the installer on the Pro (or any other x64 PC). I very much doubt the current version can run on RT, in fact. It may (or may not) be buggy on x86 / x64 (not "PRO"; that's nothing but a portion of the term used to identify a specific model of x64 PC), but it's certainly not "only windows RT" as you claimed. Oh, and a Store version wouldn't really work at all; you couldn't run it with the desktop or any other Metro app.
I'm guessing it's just a mistake you made (wrong language selected or something). The mistake might be caused by a bug in the software, but given that you apparently don't understand the difference between RT and Win8 on x86/x64 (not "PRO") at all, I'm pretty sure you don't understand the nature of the problem either.
It's a horribly buggy app, I suggest against anyone using it. It crashed Explorer right after installing, and it causes any app that you type 'C++ word word' into to crash while it's running. Not only that, but it forcefully sets itself as the current keyboard every 30 or 45 seconds, even if you manually select the stock keyboard. This behavior is behavior I would expect from a virus more than a seemingly professional piece of software.
The installer also doesn't seem to have an English installer, I had to rely on 3 semesters of high school Spanish to get through it. It also defaults to what appears to be Chinese.
But, as far as it goes on RT, it's a WPF app with a native C++ helper dll, it won't run on RT, now or ever.
Does not run
I admin installed v. 1.3 on Windows 8.1. When I install I only checked "English" and it has an error message "C:\Program Files\CooTek\TouchPal\keyboard\TPKeyBoard.exe A referral was returned from the server." I clicked OK and continue. After it was installed I try locate those execute files and run as admin. All I get is the "A referral was returned from the server error" Not sure whats going on... maybe a connection problem?

I'm about to bring back my htc shift too... anybody in 2020 with any luck installing windows 10?
I ran with Windows 10 until recently, but had to give up on it as it was too bogged down by background updates and telemetry. If you can turn everything off it should be usuable, but I reverted back to WIndows and decided to use my Shift as a permanently offline retro machine.

Don't worry, the touchscreen will eventually work in Windows 7&10 eventually, you just have to keep faffing. Once it works, it keeps working forevermore.
I can't remember the specifics, but I would recommend to keep doing the following in no particular i.e. random order:
install "VistaECDrvV"
install Intel VGA Driver
Install "TouchScreen"
run resolution changer exe (or change the resolution from the shift control centre)
If you keep trying the above and have no joy, you may have more luck with the Sherry graphics driver, which seems to be more sophisticated (it allows Flight Simulator X to run!)
At some point it might start blue screening, but just keep doing the above in various different order and eventually all will be well. If necessary boot into safe mode to undo whatever caused the bluescreening and try a different order.
The fact that the touchscreen is working in SnapVue shows that there is no hardware issue.
It will eventually work, but how much time you want to spend trying is up to you.
Which OS are you running by the way? I'm running Windows 7. Windows doesn't work with the wifi driver without further faffing, covered elsewhere in this forum, but I can point you directly to it if need be.
Good luck and have fun, and if the fun stops, stop!
