[UTIL]HTC Debug Tools

[matou25]

I found some tools in a part of french rom download in this forum.
You can test diamond nav pad, gsensor, position sensor, light sensor etc
I search in the forum but nobody talk about it.
do you know this tools.


exemple:with testHTCSensorDemoAP.exe
you can view position of the diamond, ambient value , brightness level.

[NisseDILLIGAF]

Thanx ... was fun playing around with :)

Try the 'NavDbgTool.exe' ..... I didn't know that the entire bottom plate was touch!
And that there was Up, Down, Left, Right hardware buttons!

Cool!
Thanx for sharing!

and it is not only touch sensitiv. it is capacitive (so it senses only your fingers, not the stylus, and you don't need to press, only touch like iphone), and it senses multitouch (you can use 2 fingers... like iphone)

FmsApp is the FM Radio tool, it shows also RDS. I have only one question. if there is a RDS capable FM tuner, why isn't TMC?

[oscahie]

I'm enjoying the Nav Debug Tool as well :D

Thanks for finding this, great tools :)

If it does all that, maybe there is a possibility of assigning other functions to the touch-pad. Like what many are doing with the accelerometer....

Thanks matou25 for this interesting tools.

I propose to build a list and a description of their actions/uses for each one :

A911Switch.exe ---> ???
Battery.exe ---> Battery infos
BTRouter.exe ---> Turn your device into BT Dongle ( need to be confirmed )
BTTest.exe ---> Test your BT module
ByteCounter ---> Data counter ( but for which interface ??? )
DCompassApp.exe ---> ???
DebugTool.exe ---> General debugging tool
DevHealth.exe ---> ??? ( It does not start on my device )
FmsApp.exe ---> Radio Tool
GPSRouter.exe ---> Turn your device into GPS USB Receiver ( need to be confirmed )
HTCGPSTool.exe ---> Test your internal GPS/ Satelites informations
ipsecvpnpm.exe ---> ??? ( about VPN )
memoRX.exe ---> ???
NavDbgTool.exe ---> Touchpad tool
NetworkTestPPC.exe ---> Network tool with very usefull Ping option

You can help me to complete ths list if your know more than me :p

Regards.

[NisseDILLIGAF]

I have put this Tool and the list on the wiki!

Pleas edit/add your findings there...

[Dorian8821]

Thank you man, good idea! it's perfect! ;)

[the-equinoxe]

updated the wiki entry a bit..

[Ximoon]

The sensor tool is quite impressive, so much possibilities are open with that ! The fact that the bottom pannel is a multitouch sensor is just wonderful.
For the compass, I'd say those are generic debug tools for all HTC devices... So there might be a compass on the diamond, but I really think it's for another hardware... The Dream perhaps ?

[Da9L]

Hmm could these tools maybe be used to calibrate the gsensor somehow ?

[NisseDILLIGAF]

Has anyone else tested 'testHTCSensorAp' ??

My 'Ambient Value' is almost always 0, I have to but it up towards a lamp for it to react...
Anyone else got the same?

I hope my diamond isn't broken :(

[matou25]

A911Switch.exe ---> switch usb port to serial (i think)

[pol280]

Hi,

I've done some investigation into DevHealth.exe. However it seems that the application isn't running (after the startup I get only "device-thinking" (rolling 4-colour circle) animation), I went to the Task Manager and even after pushing "x" mark during the startup the app uses about 86-87% of the CPU. After some time (3-5min?) it just went off by itself and dissapeared from the Task Manager list?? It left no additional files - maybe it just does some benchmark of the system??

[matou25]

for me ambient value is between 0 for dark to 768 for full sun light

OK, I've found it. Got report named "mem_1.txt" in Internal Storage.

[pol280]

This one is WLAN Manager. It works on my device. I post the screen shot.

[PJ6363]

Excellent find, thanks :)

[NisseDILLIGAF]

Haha... I just discovered that if you have 'testHTCSensorAp' running in the background and tilt your phone 45 degrees it will tilt the screen...
Even TouchFlo3D... :D

Totally useless but funny :rolleyes:

[pol280]

After application startup I get "V" icon next to the 3G, EDGE, battery icons. After that I get a reminder: "Mobile VPN is not enabled." Hide/Enable?
So I guess it's responsible for Virtual Private Networks:) I post Screen Shots:)

[Dorian8821]

OK it run on my device too, but does it turn on/off wlan on your ? Because it does not on mine.

About ipsecvpnpm.exe for sure it's about vpn but we have to find what about exactly.

As you man my 'Ambient Value' is almost always 0 but I'am sure that mine is working fine when I go outside then inside then outside again the backlight is changing fine;)

Then thanks for your test about wlan. I will change it in the wiki page. :)

Ahh.. ok .. Thanx :)
Yeah my backlight is working fine ... I just thought it would be more sensitive...
when I have it inside and the light is on it shows about 0-4, but i guess it's just fine then :)

Already done;) thanks.
@pol280 thanks for your screens shots.

@Dorian8821 Ambient value on my device can exceed 700. (under an halogen spotlight)
Brightness level value doesn't appeer to change on my device, it's always 2

But it seems that you can modify your sensors data with it also:
G-posture angle and G-Senstivity.
At least we now have some form of calibrating.

Sensor: Kionix KXSD9

[maikone]

How does it work? I Started it, but without succes.

Ok mine is working fine today ( from 0 to + 700 ), maybe my ambient light was too low yesterday!
My Brightness level change to, from 2 ( if Ambient Value is near 0 ) to 9.

@maikone : Unzip tools into your Internal Storage then, move to the folder on your phone ( resco explorer or file explorer ) then tap on the application and it will start.

[oscahie]

I had to remove the System and Hidden attributes from the files (using the old 'attrib' command) after extract them to a local folder or else they were not being displayed in the Diamond's File Explorer.

Just enable 'Show All Files' in File Explorer and you would have been able to see them all.

[KukurikU]

maybe somebody can make an install file for this so all the files will go in a separate directory ("System Test" or "Test HTC")??
never mind...:)

In the confidential HTC repair guide it was written that they use a tool which stresses the battery for a few minutes and after that the battery was not allowed to decrease under a certain value to be a healthy one. Maybe that´s it?

[raising_angel]

I can't believe we had a multitouch device in our hands and we didn't know... Any way of developping apps to use the multitouch function of the pad?

:D Verry useful thanks .......

Can't see all the files on my diamond AND on my laptop. I extracted it, but only showing 3 files. When I extract a single file, it prompts me to overwrite, still I don't see anything. I got the touchpad tool from sblop's site (thnx) and it really has a multi touch thingy.

Question: my up and down arrow on the touchpad are not responding to touch, only as a hardware button. Is this the same woth you? When making a circle around the centre button, I end up with a rectangle..

Mark "show all files" in fileexplorer.

That's right .. Up, Down, Left, Right are hardware buttons...
And the centre button ends up like a rectangle for me also :)

Wasn't multi-touch one of the planned features for Windows Mobile 7? (Please correct me if im wrong).

I wonder if the touch pro has enough rom/ram and a decent enough CPU for WM7...

[Prince_Hamlet]

By the "Touch Pro", I'm assuming you mean the Raphael? There are a few differences but not many. Asside from the sliding keyboard;

Chip: same QCM 7501A
RAM: same 288MB
Flash size: 512MB (over Diamond's 256MB)
The Raphael also has an external Micro SD slot that the Diamond doesn't.

Very sweet device.

This is a thread i'll be happy to keep an eye on.

Haven't had the time yet to play with these new toys yet.

Really hope that what was LEFT in the LEAKED roms will get developers cracking these function.

[rokr]

Fabulous set of tools!!! Thx a million!!! :)

[dragon_soft]

can someone explain how it is multitouch?
i just think there are three different touchpanels on bottom of the phone. you cant make two lines on the same side. (try making two lines on the left side, it only shows one touch, same wit the right side.)

[Noaminq]

Could you please let me know which folder & how to istall NavDbgTool.exe? :confused:

Thanx a lot! :)

You can find navdbgtool.exe as a cab at www.maritime-billeder.dk/htc-diamond.html (http://www.maritime-billeder.dk/htc-diamond.html).

[poedgirl]

From playing around with NavDbgTool.exe, it seems that there are 3 different touch areas. The one in the middle doesn't really have much area to touch on, it only senses touch around the circle bit. If you move your finger away, it snaps to one of the other touch pads. In order to have a functioning multi-touch system, you would only be able to use the 2 outer pads and not the scrolling circle.

[metalbrother]

AWESOME :cool:

I can't understand if it is multi touch or not...if you place 2 fingers in the same panels it draws a point to point line. It depends on how this software interpret the inputs.
At least it's for sure capacitive and not resistive since it doesn't work with the stylus and it is very responsive with fingers

[marco.catelli]

...and capacitive isn't necessary multi touch. Maybe they didn't need multi touch on it since is a small area and it's not handy to multitouch with fingers

[komatoast]

hello, just been playing with the multi-touch stuff. the diamond has some great features which are not used.

unfortunatly i am not a developer, but i was wondering if there would be any way of making a little app to make a part of the touch pads into a scroller, similar to the function of a scroller ball for selecting items in lists instead of using the fiddly direction buttons on the diamond.

cheers, hope this can be done

[Ximoon]

Guess what ? The Dream has an integrated compass ;)

[Skeleton]

Battery ...

So, the HTC has a digital thermometer inside also. Cool!

It should be accurate for ambient readings for the first few minutes of turning on the PPC; thereafter it would begin to warm up and influence the thermometer.

[diamax]

Almost any Li-Ion Battery has that digital thermometer.
Guess why? Because they are extremely sensitive to temperature, so they even have to check them selfs.

[ariellarraburu]

my ligth sensor says 18, and if I make a shadow with my hand over the sensor I can make to change the value between 0 to 18.

ROM: ROMeOS 1.12.

[big3etr]

Not to thread jack, but with the Sprint TP, if you set the camera to touch only, you only have to lightly move your finger over the center f the nav wheel. It's very sensitive. No pressing at all

[ill3nium]

Cant wait to start toying around with these.

[keinenplandavon]

The daylight sensor senses between the values 0 to 768, right? So it should be able to prog something like a simple luxmeter. Just a few points to adjust with a regular luxmeter (e.g. 7 to 300 lux, 40 to 2000 lux and 600 to 35000 lux and inter/extrapolate via software)? Just an idea, just don't know what I would do with it.

(a pal has one multimeter with dBa, Lux and hygro and played around with it, sure no use for myself other than a pastime) :cool:

can someone help me :S
i downloaded the file, extract with Winrar. but i only see 3 files :S. NETLOG, RILPROXY and ipsecvpnpm.
the rest isnt extracted to any folder with winrar :S
please help!

[Smedo]

The files are hidden and some are "protected operating system files". You need to go to control panel, folder options, view and uncheck both things I said ;)

i extracted it on my phone worked perfect there!

Thats correct, i don't know why everyone is going on about this multi touch business. there are 3 different touch responsive panels one on the left, one on the right and one for the nav wheel in the middle. This would be somewhat like have 2 screens and saying it is multi-touch. While having this is cool, one panel alone cannot track more then one thing at a time

[th0maz]

I can only see 3 of those program, the other are like hidden? weird? And i have show hiddel items enabled. But when i put it in again, it askes me to replace it, so i know its there, but i cant see it?

Agreed, that was the first thing I tried and just came on here to post it (I never actually log in here.. I just kick around alot, heh. You guys have much more skill than I could so my input is a bit useless. but the thing is that while yes, it is only 3 touch sensitive areas, it does use capacitive touch. You really don't have to touch much at all and it will register, plus a stylus wont do anything to it... and they actually do use the capacitive touch down there, just in a very subtle way. Regardless, how often would you be touching twice on one side? having the 3 separate touch panels is fine in this sense, no need to invest extra in the multitouch for this application.

But more on them using it.. Its not apparent (I didnt read every post in this thread and somebody may have said already, but I'm bored at work). If you use a stylus and touch it, as expected, you get no response. Use a stylus to push down a physical button (so you feel it click), you get no response, not on the touch area OR the physical key area. The capacitive screen is used as a safety measure almost. If it doesn't detect that you are pushing the key with your finger it wont register the physical "push button" push. aka so you dont accidentally start hitting buttons if you keep the phone in your pocket.

is it possible, to use the sensorDemoAP to enable landscape mode for email?
just want to write in landscape mode...or is it possible and i don't know how to ?

thx.

[Max_Terrible]

is it possible, to use the sensorDemoAP to enable landscape mode for email?

You get a "specialized" application that can do that, no need to run a diagnostic tool in the background at all times.
It's called changeScreen and can be found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466858).

This is because the files are set to be hidden in the archive (for some reason), so they don't appear when you extract it. On your computer, open a command prompt window, change to the directory you put the files in (via "cd"), and then run the following command:
attrib -r -s -h *.*
And they should appear :)
