> 1. take the battery out locate the pin provided in this pic attached. its the second pin from the top if you are

> 1. cover this pin with a thin peice of tape that you will leave temporarily. till the battery fully dies.
> 1. turn your universal on after placing the battery in it again
> 1. change the power settings in a way that leaves the universal on for all the time unless you manually turn it off..
> so all the power savings are off.
> 1. let your battery drain all the way until it just turns the universal off.
> 1. take the battery out and remove the insulation from that pin
> 1. turn your universal on again and let it charge overnight or till the light turns green.

title: Flashing HTC devices from Linux

To flash HTC devices under Linux, there is the [HTCFlasher](http://code.google.com/p/htc-flasher/) tool.
You might be missing the `/dev/ttyUSB0` device in recent Ubuntu installations. To fix this, use `lsusb` and look for
the device ID of a *Microsoft Corp. Generic PPC Flash device* (if in bootloader mode). Now do a
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x045e product=0x00ce
or add the following line to your `/etc/modules`:
usbserial vendor=0x045e product=0x00ce
The ID here is that of my HTC Universal.

title: VGA mode for older WM programs
layout: default

Most older programs, like [The Dog Ate It](http://www.birdsoft.biz/dogateit2.htm) are using the old 240x320 format with
double pixel size. So for TDAI, this had the effect, that the ClearTyped text was badly readable because of the big
pixels.
The problem is that these old programs don't bring the `HI_RES_AWARE` flag which causes this double pixel mode, i.e.
the program thinks the screen has only 240x320 pixels but Windows Mobile paints every pixel as 2x2 pixels on the screen
- including ClearType fonts.
So I found [pocketnow.com](http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=reviews&id=702) which suggests to download
the [MuiTest application](http://www.tweaks2k2.com/portal/filemgmt/singlefile.php?lid=16) and unpack it into any folder.
There you'll find a file `MuiTest.exe.0409.mui`. This file only contains the statement that the application should be
run in VGA mode - and this is transferable to any other application. So for TDAI, the executable is named
`TheDogAteIt.exe` so you have to rename the MUI file to `TheDogAteIt.exe.0409.mui` and put it in the same directory on
the device. Now, TDAI should run in VGA.
This trick also makes [Vectorsoft Draw](http://www.vectorsoft.gr/site/draw/index.htm) more usable (although the toolbar
with the forms disappears) and the [VBB fahrinfo](http://www.vbbonline.de/index.php?cat=436&sCat=12) shows more results
on a page.
<p><div class="notewarning" markdown="1">
The MUI file is not signed and thus Windows Mobile might bring a red warning when trying to start such a program. You
can disable this behavior using the [Device Security Manager](http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7E92628C-D587-47E0-908B-09FEE6EA517A&displaylang=en)
from the PowerToys.

title: Ringtones on SD-card in Windows Mobile

To let *Windows Mobile* find ringtones on the SD card, they have to be in a special folder. For *Windows Mobile 6.5*
this is `\Storage Card\My Documents\Ringtones` - or `\Speicherkarte\My Documents\Ruftöne` on a German system.
