U CAN Animate Large weather radars and Sat's - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Everyone At XDA has given me so much I feel like I need to Give a little back.
I learned this when I had my treo 650, If you hate the tiny radars and satelite pictures you get on your phone, or don't want to load the whole weather page from your local news site, here is my fix for that.
1) on your computer find the local radar or Satelite that you want on your phone. (if you want animated view, animate 1st.)
2)Move cursor over map and right click mouse. Select properties.
3)High lite the Address (URL) right click mouse copy and paste in an E-mail and send it to your phone.
4) once on your phone you can open the e-mail and just select the URL address and your browser will load it. Save it to favorite's and you got it.
You only have to do this one time is seems that updates and changes are automaticaly saved to the same URL address.
5)the following web sites I know work where I am. P=Pic/A=Animate
Wungerground.com (P&A)
Accuweather.com (P&A)
bigblue marble.com (P&A)
Intellicast.com (P)
(intellicast and big blue marble sat's photos are huge(date size) but pretty and detailed)
Noaa Radars USA (Use Standard Version link below NOAA Emblem) (P&A)
National Hurricane Center Sat's (P)only
Localwireless.com USA (P&A)
I used them during the 2005 hurricane season and was well informed
Try your locals and nationals good luck' Jami J
Java loads and Flash will not work on my phones (TREO 650) Or (TILT)
dose anyone know how to make them work?

Nice tip, thanks. I check Weather Underground every day on my PC but hadn't thought to try it yet on my Tilt.

LatLong Mobile Mapping Software

Any good lat long mapping programs for Kaiser/Tilt? I've downloaded google mobile maps and street names are not discernible. Likewise with mapquest. Any other mobile latlong mapping software out there?
I know you have been waiting for a reply to this question but I think no one is really sure what you are asking for.
Are you wanting A GPS mapping application (because there are just a few threads on here about them that you should use your keyboard to look at) or do you mean something else?
I have a program that sends lat/long coordinates for my phone in the event its stolen, lost, or just for fun. Once I have the lat'lonmg coordinates I need to view them through a mapping program such as google maps or mapquest. Live search doesn't offer lat/long option. These programs work well at the desktop (lots of graphic resolution) but not so on our little tilts. I'm looking for a mobile mapping program that takes lat long coordinate info and displays within reason on our little QVGA. I've used Internet Explorer and Opera Mini 4 and I am unable to zoom in enough to read street names associated with a lat/long coordinate.
The problem can be seen by putting any coordinates (ex: 33.5900, -111.850) in the following link with a tilt:
www.maps.google.com/maps
if your phone gets stolen, you want to be able to type in the lat/long of your phone, into your phone?
interesting!
I must apologise but you have lost me!
Are you wanting to view where you are on your phone?
Are you wanting to view where your phone is on a PC?
edit...
Hang on, ARE you wanting to send data between TWO phones and see where each other is???

Wifi Printing from Kaiser - can it be done?

Ok ive got this awesome new phone, just love it!
Ive got a hp 1800NW wifi printer, id like to be able to wifi print from anywhere in the house from my lovely new kaiser.
What tools do i need to get this job done?
Has anyone done this?
Many thanks
Surely this should have been one of the first things dealt with natively by win mobile 6?
Not sure if it works with WM6 (only mentions WM5), but this sounds like about the only product that will print via WiFi from a PPC....
Bachmann Software's PrintBoy V7
There's a 15-day trial available, so you don't have to shell out £50 for the full product until you've had a chance to test it!
By the look of things, it prints Word and PDF documents and not much more, so it might be less than useful
HTH,
Mark.
(Yeah, I've seen the TV advert too...looks pretty cool being able to print wirelessly, but it doesn't quite look as though its a reality just yet....)
I'd like to play with wifi printing as well, haven't even tried to search about this yet, hopefully there is an easy method!
WiFi printing has to be done with an app like Printboy (and there are a few around) but I have noticed that in WM6 there is now another option within the mail package.
If you click and hold on any message in the 'Inbox' window, the drop down menu shows 'Print via Bluetooth' and it works well with my HP 450BT printer.
Shame MS did not add this option for any other document though!!
EDIT.. Forgot that I had a registered copy of Printboy for my Universal. Dug it out, dusted it off and installed it on the 'Kaiser'.
Works fine, all you have to do is input the IP address and port 9100 and away it goes. Sometimes it does not format Word document pages too well and it is non-colour but its better than nothing!!
ok is there any free non demo prog available to do this?
thanks
I shelled out for PrintBoy and configured it to print to my networked OfficeJet via WiFi. It prints But there are 2 problems
1 - I can't print ANY SMS or POP3 emails. I can select them but the print button does nothing.
2 - to print word docs from Word Mobile, you must be sure and change the default template from ".docx" to the older ".doc" format of PrintBoy errors out.
I've got an email to tech support for help or refund. Fingers crossed.
I did find a different printing app, PIEprint by Fieldsoftware.com This adds a tap'n'hold print key option while surfing in PIE. This then prints the web page in Color VERY WELL (again over wiFi to my network OfficeJet). Cost $24.95 Great application!
I'm looking for any suggestions for a good email printer over WiFi, if PrintBoy won't work out.
I use JetCet and I am OK with it.
Thanks, I'll check out JetCet.
Here's PrintBoy's reply and my response;

Subject: RE: PrintBoy PPC v7, Email Printing....NOT
Hello Ed,
1. The registration screen does not retain your code. Once you get the successfully registered message , you are registered.
2. Currently PrintBoy does not support .docx files but we do hope to add this support in the future. We do not have an expected time frame for that release.
3. We have had a couple reported bugs in email printing that have been confirmed mostly for email transferred via Activesync. We will be resolving them in the next release. As a workaround, you would need to download mail and choose to "reply" and then save it as a draft then printing.

Hi Julie,
Thanks for the reply. First, it does look like I can “Forward” my emails and SMS messages, then save as draft, then open PrintBoy and print them. I’d like to add that NONE of my email or SMS is done thru Active Sync. So while this works, it’s not a very simple solution, especially for $50. Do you know approx when the next release is due out? It looks like the program hasn’t been updated in about a year or more?
Ed

asfoor, you rock! Thanks for the JetCet lead, it works Sooooo much better and it's only $19.95 go figure. Now I'm set for printing via WiFi

TomTom POI - USA Traffic Cameras

I searched through all of the free traffic cam data bases and found a few FREEWARE TXT files with 2455 different Traffic Camera POI's. I edited the files as a .CSV in Excel and then used TomTom's Official unsupported TXT -> OV2 software to convert them to OV2 (TomTom's format). Then copied the files to the directory containing my maps of the USA, then went into TomTom and enabled SPEEDCAM as a POI. Then I went into the Preferences and edited the POI for SPEEDCAM to warn me when ever I get within 300yards of one.... NICE!
Attached is the Traffic Cam POI's, TomTom's own conversion software, and a few more POI's I found as freeware.
Ron
The USA has speed cams?
yup, usa does have them.
Very nice man. Much thanks.
nice
thank you

In my area, they have Red Light Cameras... They are a BIOTCHS! You cannot fight it in court, numerous pictures, and a high quality video of the entire act. The police come in with computer video presentations and show everything... and they will do 10+ people in a row... very lucrative for the city.
Ron
wow. I didn't know these were out there! Are they in cities or on the Interstates or both????
Just installed and ran TomTom on my latest trip. What a nice surprise to find that the red light cameras in Germantown (near Memphis) are included! I'd guess the same could be said for other red light cams as well.
Thanks!!!
cool find and work. Gonna try it out.
I know of some that aren't showing up. Let me know what to send you to get them added.
Traffic Light Cameras in L.A. - Yup!
Installed and intentionally drove by a red light camera in Los Angeles (Melrose & La Cienega for those who care). It absolutely showed up!
I believe, based on when the alert actually went off, that I will reset to advise more in advance than that suggested in the first post.

You can add them to your TomTom under Change Preferences > Manage POIs > Add POI. If you want to post the Red Light coordinates I could add them to the database.
Post coordinates to new POIs like this:
Red Light Camera 21.37861, -158.14242
Thanks,
Ron

Yeah... that bugged me for a while. I even found a cool BMP for the icon, but TomTom wont use it. So, the red warning square is good enough for now. The BMP icon is included with the USA Speedcam TomTom.zip file. So, if someone gets it to show up properly in TomTom, Let us know.

Resize it to 22 X 22 instead of the 32 X 32 you have it at. I did it but as a crop I couldn't get it sized down maybe you have a better program than I do.
tag for later
Here is an update with 5 new cameras in the DFW area that I know of. I think there might be a few more, I'll keep my eyes peeled! When I added them I just left them named as the intersection where they are located.

Diamond Weather Custom City

How do you set a city that isnt in the default list?
afaik you can only use the cities covered by accuweather.com, and i think they are all included as default.
Can anyone please tell me if you can also see a wether forecast on the weather tab or does it only show you the current weather?
I don't have the device yet, but all the screenshots I've seen of the weather page show a soft button (bottom left of screen) option called 5 Day. I'm assuming that's the forecast view.

It is the forecast view indeed. Gives you the Hi and Low temps forecasted over the next five days with the right weather icon.
Thanks... now only waiting for the pro to be released... I am so tempted to get a Diamond. But then again, I want a higher battery capacity, the flash with the camera, more RAM, microSDHC slot... ehm and keyboard
Accuweather covers every city in the world, the database for the HTC only has major cities, in this case the ones in all the states. I live in Hickory, NC. Is there any way to get this by editing the database or some sort of update?
That depends entirely on where the weather data is coming from. If it's straight from Accuweather, it may be possible to do a registry edit or something similar to get the weather for other cities. However, if the data is retrieved from HTC, it probably won't be possible as they'd only bother processing the data for the cities available on their devices.
I'm guessing/hoping that it'll work alot like the Touch so you'll be able to show your local area through amendments in the registry as noted above and in the following link:
http://blog.commsconsulting.co.uk/2007/07/26/local-weather-on-the-htc-touch/
Ah, well, I'd say that the Touch Diamond would be very similar to the Touch, so a similar registry edit should work.
Jersey is listed on AccuWeather but I can't find it on the diamond
http://www.accuweather.com/world-in...er&locCode=EUR|JE|JE---|SAINT HELIER&metric=1
Having a look for the reg key now, if anyone has found it already let me know!
- HKCU\software\htc\manilla
I Tried changing the registry to my city, but for some reason it goes to 6 cities all in asia?
Same thing happens when I change mine.
I thought it was because I was having to guess some of the Jersey code as it displays as EUR|JE|JE---|Jersey on the accuweather side but it looks like there is more to it.
My city is spelled wrong at the device.
Acuweather has it ok.
How do I fix that?
K
EUR|JE|Jersey would likely be Jersey in the Channel islands in Europe.
Wouldn't it be a bit more like USA|NJ|Trenton or something similar for a city in New Jersey????
Yes it would be for Jersey in the Channel Islands - that's where I am though
Be nice to get it working at some point, look's like there is something else that will be changing as well as just the string value as regardless of the value used it resets to 6 cities afterwards
Bad news
Hello guys,
I've managed to add a custom city to manila, but the bad news is, that manial will crash when it tries to download the weatherinformations.
here what I've done so far:
1. xxx_manila-file are SQLite-Database-Files... so get the SQLite Databaseprovider for Visual Studio from Sourceforge
2. Copy the file 2330fc3c_manila from windows-fir to your local system
3. Remove wrtieprotection
4. Open Visual Studio and add a new SQLite-Connection to that file
5. Open the Table "cities"
6. Add the City you whant to add (add one to the maximum id)
7. Close the connection
8. Copy the file to your device's windows-fir and override the existing file (user resco file-explorer)
9. Add the new location to the weather-tab
I will write a little program to edit the db-file soon... so you don't need a visual studio
I'd like very much to have mi city weather. I found the registry key too but if I modify the value with the code of my city it doesn't work, any news? I could try your solution importing the database file etc. but...will manila download the weather informations or still crash. I don't want to only add my city in the list, I want the weather of my city working.
Thank you for now
Hello,
I've tested now some other citycodes... no one worked... manily allways crash. I've no idea whats the problem... the "new city" is entered to the database as any "original". and the accuwaether-site for a city which work and a city which will crash manila are identicaly... sorry guys, but I think we have to live with the original cities.
I'm trying using your solution...I inserted the new row in the database and it's ok, but I can't overwrite the existing file in windows folder. I'm using resco explorer 2008 as you suggested. Any idea?
Thank you very much

few problems, user fixable or need to wait for update?

Love Windows Phone 7, don't really love the hardware quality of the HD7. There are a few software issue that I am hoping are user fixable and not something I have to wait for an update to address.
1. Search button behavior in Internet Explorer - it irritates me immensely that when you hit the search button on the HD7, it brings up the Google desktop website. Similarly if you enter text in the address bar it searches Google, not Bing. If I wanted to use Google, I'd have kept my Android device. Is there a way to change this yet, and set the T-Mobile USA HD7 to default to the Bing app and not the Google website? Its especially annoying because the results bring you to mobile formatted pages.
2. This is more of a complaint than a fixable issue until copy and paste comes, but I have noticed that the text type recognition doesn't work all the time. In some places if I click an address it goes to Bing Maps but other times it does nothing, it looks like it highlights the word I touch. I haven't been able to find any pattern in which sites work and which don't, but its frustrating.
3. Sometimes when I get a text message the notification sound plays all choppy. It does seem to happen only where service is bad. Is there a fix for this?
4. Office and Skydrive. Maybe I am just retarded but I feel like there should be a way to access my Office files online, specifically through SkyDrive since I can save to it from Office on the computer. Do I have to have a Sharepoint server to do this? Can I really not access my SkyDrive files?
If I remember more I will post.
Also, is there an ETA for Flash?
I have been playing with the skydrive and I added a few files to it to try and see if I could open them on the HD7. The thing is I can open them but have yet to figure out how to open them with Word on the HD7 so that I can edit them and save them back to the skydrive(copy & paste would be nice...meh...soon I hope). But I opened IE and logged into my Windows Live account and I can open anything I have saved on the skydrive, PDFs, word files, excel sheets, ppt presentation, pictures, etc. Now the only issue is editing those files, I haven't tried sending files Word, Excel, etc. to the skydrive and trying to open them on my PC. Will update later with results of further tinkering.
My issues with HD7
Like many people I love this phone but coming from Windows Mobile 6.5 and donw (isn't that weird to say), this phone is really lacking.
1) The Zune software is crap for lack of a better word. No Smart DJ; No Artist photos; no random track play etc. These are not deal breakers but if you came from the Zune HD like me then you'll feel let down.
2) Font Size. It might just be me, but not being able to set a minimal font size is ridiculous. I use the word ridiculous because even my first pocket Pc phone edition in 2001 allowed font resize.
3) No ability to sync my desktop mobile favs. Yes! I know of the work around but wasn't the point of the new OS to avoid all that crap.
4) I want to be able to sync with my local address book. This whole facebook and windows live thing . . . .Look at it this way, if your contacts are based through FB then if one of those contacts cancels their FB acct then you automatically loose all that data. Of course this is not a MS thing.
4) With my HD2 and HTC Sense, I was used to seeing ALL my FB contact photos. Again not an MS thing but . . . .
5) This is really more of a gripe than anything but the battery icon doesn't tell much.How come I can't see exactly how much juice I have left.
6) Unified Inbox, flash, cut and paste. These are all things MS was kind enough to make us aware off so they get a pass on those.
Where is the File Explorer?

1. Apparently carriers can change the search engine within Internet Explorer, and we can't do anything about it. Once someone gets access to editing the registry, maybe we will be able to change that. BUT I do have some help for you: Search something in Google, and then scroll down to the bottom, find the "Settings" link. Then you can change it to NOT format sites for mobile phones. That should make the experience better!
2. Addresses have to be in a certain format: #### N Street Rd, Zip Code. Like this address, 6362 N Calle Campeche, 85750. If it doesn't have the zip code after the street, it sadly doesn't recognize it. Hopefully they fix that, it's a great feature otherwise.
3. Idk, never had that happen.
4. You can access your Skydrive files and download them to your phone by going to the SkyDrive website (they have a mobile version), but you can't upload any documents from your phone or upload the changes you make in a doc you download. It has been rumored that SkyDrive integration will be implemented at some point.

1. Yeah, I miss SmartDJ too. I never looked at an artist's pictures however. Their picture does load as a background image, but I know that's not what you're referring to. By random track playing, you mean Shuffle? In the now playing screen, tap on the album art, and then click the shuffle icon.
2. Font size depends on the user of course. I'm good with it as it is, but they should have made an option to change it. Maybe a future update.
3. Eh yeah. I don't use favorites honestly
4. You mean how the HTC Album app in WinMo could access all of your friends online Facebook photo albums, right from their contact card? Yeah I loveeeed that in HTC Sense. I was really disappointed when my WP7 didn't have something like that.
4.2. Umm, if a friend cancels their Facebook account, you don't loose anything that you stored yourself. Just add a contact's info into your Windows Live contacts, it will never disappear.
5. Maybe someone will write a battery percentage app. Idk.
6. I personally can't wait for copy/paste!
7. Microsoft made it decetly clear months ago that there wouldn't be a file explorer.
Thanks for the tips, and I'm really hoping someone figures out how to change the search option. It's annoying when my bosses WP7 (HTC Surround) pulls up the bing app in IE, and mine goes to the Google site. You can remove all carrier and manufacture apps (1 step forward) but can't choose your default internet search while your carrier can (2 steps back.)
Hardware wise, the issues I have are these:
After a couple days, the back and battery color have some discoloration. I don't have particularly dirty or clammy hands, so I don't know why this is. It weirdly also doesn't look like where my fingers actually are, so maybe it's heat related. I've seen similar issues on the Touch Pro and the G2. I think it has something to do with the soft touch material.
There is also a gap between the two pieces of the battery cover. This I have seen on literally every unit I've touched. Mine, my boyfriends, the demo unit at T-Mobile, and the ones at Best Buy.
Likewise, if you press search a little hard, you see like a ripple in the bottom right hand corner. This also was on every device I played with, so it's a general thing.
These things, for me at least, aren't deal breakers, but they are annoying, especially compared to the absolutely astounding build quality of the HD2.
...
anyway.
All of this stuff aside, I must say, my actual general usage experience with the device (again, more WP7 than the HD7 specifically) has been honestly, wonderful.
I've found that in my experience,true to Microsoft's goal, everything just works, and works quickly. Coming from Android (recently, after the HD2 I just couldn't deal with WM6.5) and having had every phone in between (iPhone, Palm Pre, a crap ton of Android phones, even a Symbian phone) I must say that I have had the fewest problems, and most fluid experience of all, on WP7. General usage stuff like calls, texts, e-mail, web browsing, social networking etc. are all just super fast and efficient (with maybe the only exception being Facebook's annoying load time, but its not horribly necessary with the "what's new" section in People. Also, despite some issues (like it taking me a week to realize you can click on the song list under now playing) the media and gaming is hands down the best I've had on a phone.
Ugh, is the T-Mobile HD7 locked into Google?
I thought the whole idea of the Search button was to get quick access to the Bing Search Application. Is this so or is it only the search in IE?
Hoping they'll add a way to change that ASAP.

The T-Mobile US variant of the HD7 works like this, in all places other than a) Internet Explorer or b) app that override the search button (like contacts) when you press the search key it bring up Bing. When in IE, it goes to google.com. When in an app with an override, it searches within that app.

About your part B... that's how the search button is supposed to work, Windows Phone was designed like that. The T-Mobile USA HD7 is only different than other phones in part A.
as a few more days have passed, I also noticed that sometimes the Marketplace will lock up. The phone doesn't, I can still go back to the start screen, use all other apps etc, but when I go into Marketplace again it says loading and then goes back into to start unless I restart the device. Not a big deal, not too common, but still a bug. I think its related to the small freezes while browsing apps when it's loading the icons.
To clarify, you can upload and save your changes to SkyDrive. Simply tap down at the application settings and select synchronize. That will sync any changes with SkyDrive.

Edit: it just works with OneNote.
But I think if you download excel doc from SkyDrive and make changes it will sync with SkyDrive?

Yep, that's a problem with just about everyone that has an HTC phone. I'm not sure if it affects Samsung and LG too, but I wouldn't be surprised if it does too.
