My grandmother doesn't understand english and I really like to add the Magyar language to her cell phone.
The way I see it I should install some software or do firmware update... the only problem that even if there is information in the nokia hungarian site - I would not be able to understand it.
Thanks
Asaf
Your first and official option is to go into a Nokia Care point, assuming there is one nearby, and just ask them is it possible to do so. If there isn't one close to you, maybe just make a phone call to the nearest one you can find.
Assuming that doesn't work out, it's possible on some Nokia phones to change the product code, so that you can update a different firmware variant. you need a special software called NSS to change the code, and the usual Nokia firmware update applications from Nokia.com for your phone. An example for how to do this for the 5800 is here: http://www.techhail.com/mobiles/procedure-to-change-product-code-on-nokia-mobiles-like-n97-and-5800/2830
Changing the product code probably voids your warranty. Also I don't know if your particular device supports firmware update, or if there is a Hungarian variant for it.

I want to make a little painting program. So i am going over if it's even possible. As with all good painting programs it needs to have pressure sensitivity. And i don't think i have ever come across anyway to get pressure sensitivity of mouse/tablet. Is there a workaround.
The thing i have come closest to is touch event that is supposed to have pressure property.
This question has been asked before but that was like in 2009. I am hoping that there would be something available this time.
Chrome apps are also an option.
As far as I know only Firefox support this through a proprietary property on the event object:
var pressure = event.mozPressure;
which keeps a value between 0.0 and 1.0.
Wacom has a plugin that can be installed to give browsers an API to read these sort of values from but I guess it only works with their own tablets.
Hello from the future world of 2022!
There is a PointerEvent API that appears to be supported by major browsers, and pressure can be read out from the PointerEvent.pressure property.
tldraw is an example of a project using this API.
Notes on operating system support for this:
macOS
I can confirm pressure-sensitivity with tldraw's drawing tool works for me on macOS, with either Chrome or Firefox, and a cheap Wacom tablet. Safari did not.
Linux
Chrome on Linux works out of the box; I used the Flatpak version. Your mileage may vary with the .deb or Snap package.
For Firefox, you may need to do this or this to get pressure-sensitivity working. There seems to be a regression with Xinput 2 support being tracked by bug #1207700, so maybe this will be fixed some day.
Windows
I don't imagine you'll have any problems on Windows, but I'm unable to test.
If you were interested in creating a web-based paint program in 2022, you might have a look at Pressure.js, which claims to support both pressure input and "3D Touch" present on some Apple devices in a single library. I have no first-hand experience with this library, though, so I can't back up those claims.
It's true this comes 9 years too late for your project. Sorry about that. But this question ranks high in search results for "pressure sensitivity javascript api," so perhaps it can still be useful to someone.
Most of touchpads on laptops don't handle multitouch, hence are not able to send swipe gestures to the OS.
Would it be possible to send some gestures to Windows from an external device, like a Teensy, or a recent Arduino, that can already emulate a keyboard and a mouse. I could send buttons 4 and 5 (mouse wheel up and down), but I would like to send a real swipe gesture (for example with a flex sensor...).
One of the ways that you could work with arduino and similar is to use the Microsoft .NET Microframework, which is an open source code, available for no cost from: Micro Framework
There are other frameworks available for the Artuino that you might want to use. So if you have a great idea on how to utilize the sensor hardware, then the output must meet certain specifications.
To be able to connect to your hardware that reads gestures, you will need to understand how drivers are created, so take a look at this: Info on drivers.
To find that type of information you would need to take a look at above link, this is for sensors, which would appear to be not quite what you are looking for, you are looking to use "gestures" but first you have to be able to make the connection to your device, this guide MIGHT help. I have reviewed it for other reasons.
There is a bunch of stuff to dig through, but first of all, imo, is to understand how to get your software to communicate with Windows 8. Let me know if you have any other questions. I am not the best person, you might want to refer to the community at the Micro Framework link shown above.
Good luck.
That's perfectly possible. What your effectively suggesting is that you want to create your own input peripheral like a trackpad and use that to send inputs. As long as windows recognizes this device as an input source it will work.
I purchased two Wacom stu-300 signature tabs. I had the ooption of buying the significant SDK/software, but I wanted to interact witht he pads myself. From research I see that I basically need access to wintab32.dll. I cant't find it anywhere? Can someone point me in the right direction?
I am looking to just capture a basic signature. No fancy graphics. Just cap signature. I have tried a few sample apps, but most of them complain about wintab being missing. Wacom seems to explicitly declare that the stu-300 is to be used as part of a compelte solution, and they don;t provide any driver or software for it. The signature pad is installed tho, and shows in devices. Does this tab work / fall into the caterogy of a "tablet" pc functionality?
I would really appreciate some help, maybe a sample app? I would prefer vb.net.
Thanks
It was last maintained by Wacom. The DLL is hidden inside their driver installs. I found it as part of the PenTablet driver version 5.2.5-5a, available at http://www.wacom.com/en/customercare/Drivers.aspx?model=Bamboo&os=
Rather than installing the entire driver, you can extract wintab32.dll from the self-extracting installer.
The stu-300 does not have wintab, Wacom has a set of SDK for the stu tablets, you can request it from https://ssl.wacom.eu/signature.wacom.eu/index.php?page_id=18

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a Sony Ericsson mobile phone and I would like to add a missing feature myself. In fact I cannot actually disable Internet connection in an easy way when roaming, which cost me a lot of money last time I moved away ... So I would like to develop a little application that would just replace the actual Internet configuration with a fake configuration to avoid auto-connections.
So what I would like to know is how can I access programmatically to my phone settings? I know that Sony Ericsson provides a SDK to run Java applications on its customised JVM. So what I am actually looking for is to know if they extended the J2ME functionality to fit their devices requirements.
This is not well documented so I am asking this question with the hope that someone here already had experience with development targeted for Sony Ericsson devices.
Thanks.
NB: This is a Sony Ericsson Elm which is based on the Sony Ericsson OS with SE Java Platform 8.5.
Edit: I accepted QuickRecipesOnSymbianOS answer as it gave me a clue on the only feature that could have helped me, but which is unfornatunately missing. The Sony Ericsson Java Platform is the only API I could use to develop real programs on my phone. But the JP-8.5 does not implement the JSR-307 package which could help me in managing APN. Thanks everyone for your help.
Well, I hope you got the great Vivaz phone, not the Satio.
In order to learn about Symbian OS C++, first go to the Foundation website.
Relevant plug: the latest introduction to Symbian OS C++ in book form is Quick Recipes on Symbian OS
For now, you won't find a better way than Symbian OS C++ to manipulate your handset access points.
JavaME simply doesn't have the correct APIs for this, at least not until JSR-307 is implemented.
I believe Qt isn't integrated quite tightly enough just yet either but that should change soon enough. Keep an eye on it.
Extending the Symbian Python runtime to do what you want would require some Symbian OS C++ anyway.
Yes you will need to use Symbian C++ to modify the CommDB, which holds the list of connections. It is quite painful to work with it directly, but there are some utility classes that can help you out. Take a look at CApSelect, CApDataHandler and CApAccessPointItem, all in the developer library.
And yes, these will work on all modern Symbian handsets, independent of brand.
Note: My answer below assumed it was about a symbian device. Since it was actually a J2me device none of the below applies
The easiest way to achieve what you want to do is probably to just remove all the "destinations" when you want to prevent auto connections. Otherwise the device will test each destination in turn until it finds one that works.
You can also set up your destinations so that they are not allowed to be used automatically. This setting must be done individually for each destination.
You can also group your destinations and set one of the groups to the default. If you set the default to an empty group you should not get any automatic connections.
Note that I have not tested any of these methods myself. When I roam I turn off automatic updates in the apps that use them. Some apps can even detect when you are roaming and avoid auto connects.
There are S60 apps available that improves the connection management of vanilla S60, but I do not know if any of them can help you with your problem.
If you are dead set on doing the programming yourself you have to use the C++ SDK for Symbian S60 available from Forum Nokia. Java ME does not allow you to manipulate the destinations of the device.
The Elm device should have (I haven't verified this) the access point API originally designed by Nokia. Not sure whether you can use it for the purpose you want though. The J2me developer guidelines available from developer.sonyericsson.com should have all the information you need.
I would like to be able to programmatically emulate a shutter button press on my Casio Exilim EX-F1 digital camera.
It comes with a USB tethered remote control that can emulate a shutter press, so I would think there is a way to emulate that from a PC.
I've looked and can't find any libraries or anything for controlling this camera.
Anybody have any ideas? How about a way to "sniff" the USB being sent from the remote (I can't imagine that's easy).
Ok although it might be out-of-the-box thinking the easiest solution I can think of, without having the patent documentation + technical specs in-front of me (that is the normal route people use to do this sort of thing) you could always use Lego Mindstorm robotics.
Edit: Anyways besides the Lego, which would be my course of action, I mentioned, the hard-core way is to use the Spec sheets, you can normally get them off the website, but then your basically into driver programming. If you find that prospect attractive in anyway this link will give you some ideas for doing it on Windows.
In case anyone finds this question, Casio finally released an official way to do this with the free EX-F1 Controller software (with special firmware included):
http://support.casio.com/download.php?rgn=5&cid=001&pid=573
It has its limitations but it makes more possible for sure.
There's a non-official API to control the Casio EX-F1. It's a reverse enginyering free (as in freedom) product.
