|

|

|
||||||
|
> 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..
|

|

|
||||||
|
> 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.
|
||||||
|
> 1. this fixed my universals' battery and now mine turns off at 5%

|
||||||
|
> p.s. while the universal is running and the pin is insulated you will notice that the battery indicator that shows

|
||||||
|

|

|

|
>
|
||||||
|
> by the way you will also notice that the universal wont be able to get charged while that pin is insulated. so again
|

|
||||||
|

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

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.
