[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Alcatrazx:
Video recording for me (and for anyone else in here) is fine ... The problem is camera shots ...

As far as the volume cab is concerned its a registry setting which sets the maxima and minima of the phone ... as you said its a good fix .. but it does not really improve the audio quality ... the input gain is too high and needs to be attended to ... I dont think that this could be aquired through a reg fix .. especially the multitouch issue.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Alcatrazx:
no harm in trying but I am sure that it will get us nowhere ... Not because of our attitude but more because of their attitude....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Alcatrazx:
The emulator is not x86 .... The emulator has the complete OS in it its the "abstraction layer" that is x86 or x64. You should have read elsewhere that

this had been hacked and also made as a standalone exe file by some clever people around here.

RE what M$ said ... on the HD2 ... Please allow me to correct you ... this is what M$ had stated on the HD2....

http://apcmag.com/microsoft-no-windows-phone-7-upgrade-for-windows-mobile-6x-devices.htm
​

In a nutshell they tried to imply that the HD2 does not have a dedicated camera button... EVERYONE in here knows that the keys can be remapped any way we want ... and YES the HD2 has 5 buttons MORE than the REQUIRED 3 ... Now please tell me where in earth`s history ... did something get "ruled out" to be ineligible for an upgrade because it has 5 buttons and not 3?

So this all boils down to something which is a "capricious decision" on behalf of Microsoft to leave out a phone from an upgrade.... A capricious decision taken on a table infront of a cup of coffee. A decision which left millions of HD2 owners out! The HD2 sold even more than the Nexus One and was sold out on the first day on sale in the US.... we're talking a very big phone indeed!....

http://wmpoweruser.com/did-the-htc-hd2-outsell-the-nexus-one/
​

So what has been said about all this? Hush ....nothing .. And that is why as one of you had quoted .... "you leave us/ I leave you in peace sort of attitude"... they are at fault on this matter and they know it....The upgrade was legimately ours ... and we were phased out ... If anything we would boost the user base substantially if an official WP7 upgrade is released from HTC/M$ .... just think about how many people would by apps of the marketplace. M$ also needs a lot of users on the new OS ... and its simply unwise to keep the HD2 portion out. It is simply showing how silly they are to take decisions ... It's an "EPIC FAIL" type of decision ... similar to when the disastrous Vista was released.

Let's not bring up this subject again. We are alone on this and we can only rely on the community's abilities to find a solution.

...Which brings us back (again) to the point that MAGLDR is not just a chainloader

Correct that Yuki and others can change whats in the OS (thanks all again) ... but we haven't got enough details on WP7 simply because its closed source ... And no tinkering about (up till now) has been done on the WP7 drivers (in the OS) other than changing a soft radio in part00.bin

Regards

Al
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Alcatrazx:
Hopefully we will... .Still respect the devs for the great job they did. We would not be running the OS if its not for them. There are still some issues true...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Alcatrazx:
I don't think so but will verify.

Thanks

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] maneken25:
Agree with Alcatrazx.

Lets not forget which customers we were at beginning. When we bought Hd2 we were primary customer of Microsoft(and still of htc). Smartphones are here to give customer access to app market which will then generate continous flow of profit for longer period of time(economicly speaking) .

When Google stepped into smartphone bussines they knew how to promote, how to speed development of Android Os and how to attract allready users and devs of existing devices(mostly winmo) with their open philosophy.

While they attracted ppl which used windows mobile they same time "hijacked" customers of Microsoft Os and his app market.

If Microsoft had better bussines strategy they would worked to get us back to their apps and to boost market profit.

This things piss me off but ill stop talking about Microsoft cause main purpose of topic is to see how community could improve usage of wp7 on hd2.

i would still say .. sign the petition.. as in my above quote ... we need 5000 to 10000 people more and if we can get them there is a chance of making a difference..

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] mapleleafs89:
Its free marketshare for them. Maybe if people upgraded from WM 6.5 to WP7 their next phone after the HD2 wouldn't been an iPhone or Android but another more recent WP7 device.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Hagenlund:
This is simply too silly. The WP7 requirements ask for a back, home and search button. The HD2 has no search button, so of course it won't be supported as a WP7 handset.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zcdg:
HD2 was made with Windows Mobile and no one company never did officialy change of OS on already made long time ago and out of production devices. For HTC and MS HD2 is dead device. Doesn't matter how many buttons it has.

It is simply outdated and nobody will care of it officialy, but unofficialy without specific information, tools and people nothing can be done...

Just use it as it is, or sell it.....

So much time and posts were spend for so obvious things.....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dazza9075:
There is need of a fact and reality check here, as I said way back you only have a few options and most of those are so unlikely you'd have a better chance of landing a staring roll in a major holywood AAA film. =)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Ruzzichella:
Zcdg... you should sell the hd2 (if u got) and buy a beatifull iphone... no problem and all work as it should... thanks to people that is opposite of you the hd2 rock... help thinking about bugfix or go away pls...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zcdg:
Thanks for your funny reply.

I had before two HD2 - one already sold(luckely before digitizer problem start to show up) and bought beatifull HTC Sensation instead. Second one i will use to play with it for fun after i will get and replace digitizer on it because it became not working(HD2 digitizer design problem you may know - hardware buttons push to digitizer cable and brake it over time - most in 2-3 years with hard usage).

I never had and will never have Iphone because i like open systems.

But anyway what ever you say and think - HD2 is beatifull, but old phone. Market of smartphone alwayls on the move.

It is truth.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Ruzzichella:
No man... is not true... stupid market of smartphone move... the intellinget market know that a two/three years old device can beat the new one... due to (all) os limitation... and many other factor...

HD2 is (NOW) a perfect devices... the new device... is a waste of resources... imho...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zcdg:
Yes HD2 is powerfull enough to handle all existing tasks, but problem is that it is wearing out (each particular phone). You know how i was upset when my HD2 digitizer stoped to work... How many digitizers are sold on ebay for HD2... But before i did replace once by myself - it is realy difficult job.

And older phone(model) become - less people wants to support it and make hacks. That is why i think unlikely drivers will be fixed.

Sorry for that , but lets use it as it is anyway if you like:)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dr_osama:
People, please be positive :). I wish someone will port Windows 8 soon to HD2, instead ;-). I hardly used hard buttons in WinMo, but now I'm worried because I use BACK button frequently in WP7 :S
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zcdg:
You are right. Try to press buttons as soft as you can especialy back and power(right side of the HD2) - they are located right on top of digitizer's flat cable. At least this two buttons must be used gently. Good luck!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Alienaiden:
The HD2 was a development platform for Microsoft as they created WP7, ergo, the correct and official drivers for the HD2 exist, but are being held back by either Microsoft or HTC.

The best solution would be for HTC to simply give us the drivers, thought I see that as unlikely due to them receiving no actual gain from it.

It'd be fantastic if someone could manage to convince HTC to release the drivers, and would save all this time second guessing to create the drivers ourselves.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dazza9075:
Im Curious as to how you know this, yes it was a development platform, and yes drivers were made..... We are using them! :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Alcatrazx:
Too silly? So what are the second, third and fourth buttons doing for you?

The fourth button is a back button (same as WP7)

The home button is the second button (same as WP7)

The internet (which you call search button) is the third button (same as WP7)

The dedicated camera button is the only issue that M$ spotted which to me does not hold... why? Because M$ themselves know that people use the touchscreen to pull photos and not hardware buttons. It's just a matter of usability and NOT a technical issue.

why wont we do a donation fund with this thread? we put on the first page information with the user name and how much will donate, and will refresh the title of the thread with the total every time we have a new donation.

Devs already made an increadible work for our HD2´s, for free, now its time for us to give them something back, they really deserve it.

Count with me with $30.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Hagenlund:
It's definitely silly to think that MS would support a device where the search button has an icon that's completely different from the official search icon. Simply unthinkable. MS DOES support the use of a dedicated camera button, but it would have to be the proper camera icon as well.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] sudeep6258:
Yeah Well don't worry we will put stickies over our existing keys.. that might be the lamest excuse I have heard EVER. Gotta come up with something better.. If you weren't being sarcastic.. look at your post again and think how much MS has fooled you into believing that it was hard for them to give you a highly polished OS due to the aforementioned "problems" haha
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Hagenlund:
No-one has EVER said that this was due to technical or other "problems". If you seriously think that MS would ever support a device that obviously does not meet the WP7 chassis requirements, then you need to get your head examined.

ive tried getting the optimus 2x music player cooked into a rom as i believe its one of the best android music players but having no such luck.i give up trying now so im gonna post the apks for someone else to have a go,be great to see it on SGS2

if you dont know what the music player looks like for the optimus 2x.here it is

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmullaney:
Hey Guys

I've just switched to the SGS:2 from my trusty old HTC Desire. I noticed that when I'm using inline headphones (with the Google Music App) everytime I skip track (or pause/resume) the display wakes up.

Is there any way to disable this? It seems silly - kinda defeats the point of using the inline remote - and I'm sure waking up that massive SAMOLD-Plus screen is not helping my battery life :-)

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wess666:
Hi,

First I want to thank all the Dev's for the great work and dedication :)

Here is what I did:

* There was no update on Rogers network for my phone and I didn't really follow the scene for a while.

* I went and downloaded this file: X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200.zip from arkedk's great post [Download] All X10 Firmwares

* I used the latest flash tool to get from 2.1 generic to the FW posted above.

* After making sure all works ok I used the tutorial that DooMLoRD kindly created

[How-To] Rooting & Installing Recovery on X10 Official SE GB [Picture & Video Guide]

Now the phone is rooted, all works great except the camera that FC's and gives a ''Camera not available'' error. Sometimes it works ok then the screen gets some kind of noise and I just press the home button to quit camera. Never rebooted on me though.

Is there anything I can do to get the phone more stable and reduce battery usage + fix the camera?

As I said everything else works (market, contacts, calendar, wallpapers, etc...)

Thank you again for all the hard work.

[About XDA developers] thebadfrog:
I would like the thank the moderators at XDA for finally making a post reporting system that works. I love being notified that my concern is being looked into and then getting a pm about the final outcome. This is making the actual development threads cleaner and more to the point. I know some are not happy with the new policies but they are the reason I have come back to XDA.

Since the threads I'm in are mostly moderated by jerdog and mikey1022 they are the ones responding and have done so promptly (within the hour mostly). And when a post of mine crosses the line I have been given a logical reason why. (I was in the wrong and deserved to be spanked)

Hopefully as the new system is enforced the threads will contain less clutter and no off-topic discussion and this will help the new people understand the rules better.

Thanks for your time in moderating what is a wonderful resource for us part time phone/tablet modders. :)

From Acer

"Dear fans, many of you asked for the release of the Honeycomb 3.2 update for Acer ICONIA TAB A500/A501. We’ve just received confirmation today that the update will start from mid of September to the end of the month depending on the product models and countries. We wanted to provide a stable and problem-free OS to our customers. Stay tuned. We will keep you posted"

Just a few more weeks...
[Acer Iconia A500] GTablet:
+1 on this info!!! Thanks for the update !!!
[Acer Iconia A500] kekinash:
Your sources are wrong, this is the latest about 3.2 from Acer Malaysia already posted somewhere here in the forum:

Acer Iconia Tab A500 Honeycomb 3.2 Update

by Acer Malaysia on Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 2:30am

We know a number of you in Malaysia are waiting for the A500 Honeycomb 3.2 OTA which we said will be out on 10 Sep 2011. We would like to inform you in advance that we have received communications that the patch will not be out on this date. We know you are disappointed and angry, and we truly apologize. We are equally disappointed and hope to resolve this issue as soon as possible. We do not want to promise another date as this matter is beyond our control. However, our target is to resolve this as quickly as we can. We hope for your kind understanding. Thank you.

[Acer Iconia A500] Lorthirk:
The message reported here comes before the one from Acer Malaysia. That one, in which they say the update won't come on September, 10th and they won't provide a new date, is the latest news.

[Acer Iconia A500] Ramius71:
Hey guys.. Mid september is not necessarily the 10th. So you could both be right. If we are going to be nitpicking...15th is mid September, and it says from MID september and going onward to October at least.

And for the record...I am just as impatient as you are. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
This BS and sux ass... Even if they just delay by 5 days its sucks that they keep f-ing delayng. If u give a date then you gotto commit to it!
[Acer Iconia A500] lechuckthepirate:
But... is it really THAT important to upgrade to 3.2 ? For what I've read, 3.2 has only small changes like the zoom feature and SD support from the PC ...

I think I can wait for that... in fact, I could even bypass this upgrade and take 4.0 when they publish it towards the end of this year...

Sometimes people gets the "update fever" for nothing .. XDDD
[Acer Iconia A500] Vendetta2311:
Do you think 4.0 would fit in our iconia's spec? If it is..would be so impatient to it :D
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Uh well considering that all the so called features that DOES NOT work in 3.1 and they are suppose to have fixed in 3.2 including general speed, yes I find it very hard to wait, I couldn't give a damn about the stupid zoom feature.

The reason for the long delay is obviously because they trying to fix as many current bugs as possible. Zoom nonsense is just an extra.
[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
We've got dual core, 1GB RAM, 720p screen... I'm pretty sure we'll fit into ICS requirements... so you'd better start a thread "4.0 When???" And begin ranting of how late is Acer with the ICS update ;) The official 3.2 update will come when it's ready - it's a fact of life and we can't do anything to make it come sooner. If anyone is so impatient, they should flash a cooked ROM and stop complaining about the sky being too blue and the water too wet :-P.
[Acer Iconia A500] Lorthirk:
Considering that A501 is stuck at 3.0.1 and will not have 3.1... 3.2 means 3.1 for A501 as well. So yes, is really THAT important for A501 users.
[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
These things are totally different from Microsoft, which is hands free, for Android, many of us would like the manufacturer to take responsibility of get us up to date, how so difficult that will be? Why Motorola, or Asus can do it but Acer can't? I know there're even worse companies on this front, like Dell, but since you can't totally rely on the software company to update automatically, then you'll have to do your job.

I still like PC much more, nobody's panic for the coming security updates:p
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
I would also rather skip 3.2 and have them working on getting 4.0 for our tablets.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
They can't do that until Google releases the code, which isn't for a couple of months still. Might as well work on 3.2 in the interim.
[Acer Iconia A500] Mystikalrush:
You realize they made a whole different facebook account for another country, its not called Acer "MALAYSIA" for nothing, they have nothing to do with the rest of the world, even in there first announcement of 3.2 they said they have no information reguarding other countries and directed people to ask there cooresponding areas for there release date.

Source is correct as i said before.

[Acer Iconia A500] neyenlives:
you guys should spend less time arguing over things and move on to 3.2 on your own with the help of the developers here. To be honest, stock 3.2 is nothing to argue over. If you really want to improve your tablet get the Acer Recovery Installer app and flash one of the much leaner cleaner faster improved 3.2 roms with a custom fast kernel and move on with real life. :p
[Acer Iconia A500] msimindlessmsi2:
Is there actually a rom where everything works? I own an evo and it seems that every rom has something that is broken like camera, 4g, etc.

Stock 3.1 works great on my tab.some of the custom roms are faster,some offer more software. But stock is the most stable for me.

So you still rooted it? what phone do you have, if you have an android phone, do you still need to do the ad-hoc fix, I mean, does android phone able to create a normal wifi?

BTW, it's Sept. 15 now, is the MID of September, and does anyone here see the upgrade yet? In USA?

Taboonay and lightspeed everything works. But they are both based off of stock roms. But taboonay ROM has support for Samsung apps that would only normally work on the galaxy

Oh come on, we will probably be the last to get the update. It is going to be mid month to the end of the month. Don't hold your breath or you will surely die.

Seems like the malaysians have already got it. However no one seems to have the download link though.
[Acer Iconia A500] frankws:
Someone in Australia reported a few days ago that he got the update.

From what I understand Acer is only updating by countries or regions and may take till the end of the month to complete. I suppose that's as long as they don't find other problems.

But how did they know where are we, I mean Acer? I do think they know which country we are in, and /or which country we bought our tab from, but other than that, why do they care I'm in Texas or California or New York...? Even it will be hard for them to use physical location to distribute the update other than just use their serial number to filter out. My thought.
