Japanese Input

[aquasesh]

Hey all....

I recently change the language of my X01ht from Japanese to English.
Unfortunately i dont seem to be able to type Japanese anymore.
I can see it and read it, but not type it myself.

also, i seem to have problems with my Radio. after the device enters standby,
and i turn it back on, i cannot reactivate the phone. i have to soft reset before i can turn the phone on, using the comm manager.

this is not my first upgrade of a HTC phone, but certainly the most exciting ;)

i hope someone knows what i did wrong.

Also, is it still possible to bake my own roms for the HERMES???

Sorry I can't help with the japanese input... but for the other questions:

i seem to have problems with my Radio. after the device enters standby, and i turn it back on, i cannot reactivate the phone. i have to soft reset before i can turn the phone on, using the comm manager.
This is very weird, which radio version are you running?
As you said you changed your phone from Japanese to English I assume you already have bootloader 1.04, then you can try to flash an extracted radio rom (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms) to see if it fixes the problems.

his is not my first upgrade of a HTC phone

Unfortunately not yet, the hermes upgrades use NBH format (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_NBH) instead of the NBF you have probably seen in older HTC devices.

The available shipped ROM upgrades contain all the rom parts in one single NBH file (IPL, SPL, MainSplash, SubSplash, GSM, ExtROM, and OS), this file is signed with an HTC private key, and checked against a certificate stored on the phone before it is actually flashed, so if you cook your own ROM in a NBH file you get an "invalid cert" error from the bootloader when trying to flash it.

Some of us have started researching how to hot-patch the SPL in RAM to allow flashing self-signed code, but it is still too early to have results.

if you are not a japanese speaker, read this. it is easier, but not typical.

if you are a japanese speaker, read this. it is a typical way to implement japanese functionality with a non-japanese wm5.0 device using atok.

thanks for your replies.

Im running Radio Stack version 1.07.03.10. I just realized that i cannot send emails via my Gmail account under Flexmail2007. If i connect to a WLAN everything seems fine. But using 3G, i cannot send anything. Internet and receiving works fine though.

Also, once i use my hermes for a while (surfing internet via 3G), the back of it gets quiet warm.
I guess around 38-40 degrees celcius.


@qtotter

thanks alot, mate. That really helps.


i seem to have a few problems with this device. i didnt have a HTC for a while, mainly because i moved to Japan and my phones didnt work there.
Now i seem to be a bit behind.

This is a configuration problem, check the 3G and proxy settings with your provider, this has nothing to do with the radio stack, you won't fix it by upgrading it.

i can send email via gmail with pocket outlook, and so does a friend of mine... i guess it's your setting in the email client as pof says.

also, my x01ht gets warm, too, when it's connected to the internet via 3gpp.

Thanks guys...im gonna do a hard reset tomorrow and built it all up again.
right now its all kinda messy.
I have over 5000 programs and games for PPC and i wanted to see what still runs, so i have alot of dead folders and probably some unnecessary registry entries.
I also might change from Flexmail back to PO or something else.

over 5000 programs... if you use one program a day, it would take more than 13 years to try them all.

Thats certainly true...thats why i usually use only the ones that are interesting to me. but thats still alot...but since alot of the are a few years old now, i am reluctant to try them. i already had some problems with some software under WM5.

I installed the Japanese input...this language bar thing. But its really annoying. It opens 1 more bar every time i start a program/game.
it is also making itself very present. even if im in camera mode, when its in the
background, i can still move it. During games i have to move with the stylus, i will always pickup that little bar....very annoying...

i am not sure what the little bar you mentioned is. i guess you tried the method for non-japanese speakers?

i have never tried any input methods other than atok 4 ppc. if you do not mind spending a couple of thousand yen for japanese input, i would recommend you buy it. but it does not officially wm5, and you need a little tweaking...

I was talking about BagojsInput. it puts a language bar similar to the windows
language bar on the today screen. but its very present. i had to uninstall it, since i had problems using certain applications

if you have installed a japanese font and tweaked registry to read japanese, you can try ComPOBox (Otsu).

the documents attached are all in japanese, but you might be able to find some english documents about this software on the internet.

fyi... here's the latest info on using this ComPOBox(Otsu) on x01ht. it's in japanese though...

Thanks very much for all the info.

I also found another guide, but it seems a little bit older. but as far as i can see, it still applies. It came with all resources to follow through.

If you wanna check it out, i attached it.

hope you will not try that since i don't think it will work with wm5.0...

[aquasesh]

well....i did try it... but had to hard reset after installing atok and decuma

there is already an answer in the link you referred to....

How to avoid the unwanted appearance of the IME floater
1. Download, unzip and copy GWinter's KbdSwitch to Program Files. http://www.geocities.com/grieg_winte...are/index.html
2. Run KbdSwitch and set to Japanese IME.
3. Soft-reboot.
4. As soon the Pocket PC starts up again, the IME should be in Japanese. Sometimes, it is not and so you may need to reset KbdSwitch to Japanese IME and restart a few times.
5. Run any application that may use the Japanese IME, i.e. dictionary and wordprocessor.
6. Switch back to English IME (COMP IME).
NB: The floater should only appear only in applications that you started with Japanese IME on. Also, remember that the "X" in the upper right corner of the windows is actually a "minimize" function.

if you get rid of the software totally, why don't you uninstall it???

Hello,

Please, I tried this but couldn't make it work properly ... maybe I couldn't understand ... can you explain it better?

Anyway, Is there any way (even paying) to make the Japanese input work in a proper way, just like when you have the device in Japanese (always without the floating bar)??

[trialdei]

Not sure if you guys realize but a while back our friend Asukal ripped the actual Microsoft Japanese input panel off a Japanese WM5 ROM and created an install package from it. It's known as MS JP IME v3.1 and doesn't have the annoying floating box.
