[HD2 General] Mister B:
Black arrow to small square hole should have a small clear stepped plastic lens that fits in the hole, if you been methodical you may find it in your work area if not you ideally need get one !

Also looks like you may of removed/damaged the black mesh for earpiece near this missing lens :-/

As for gold tape no idea if will cause any issues as never removed like you have, it is a shielding tape similar to what runs up edges of digi,l cd & centre chassis before disassembled & we get away without that !

Just use lots of care or things won't be much fun once rebuilt.

Most issue with sensors is idiots who block them with bad home made tape or shoddy assembly.

You will need a tape kit for digi & centre chassis (links in HD2 wiki)

Tape alone is not enough as none are as good as the factory tape. Ideally you need a small tube of black silicone adhesive such as PU40. You can use this sparingly down sides of new digi to lcd after first fixing it into position using tape, do make sure digitizer is positioned correctly on LCD as about 0.5mm out will cause button issues, do a dry run on buttons & lcd, digi function before building it up with adhesive. Use a few very small spots of silicone adhesive down sides of LCD (Make gaps in tape as needed) to centre chassis & near corners as without it the assembly will lift & not hold flush, with silicone adhesive (used sparingly & with thought) an OEM finish build is achievable & it remains that way without lifting in a corner or 2 ...

Care & care & more care is needed if first time on an HD2 as without it you will be lucky to have a usable device, good luck ...
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
The power and volume buttons on the rezound are a hindrance at best, poorly designed and implemented.

I mean come on, flush buttons for critical functions... what was they thinking?!

Sure flush buttons can work, but they must be on the facing side of the device and be clearly visible is some way. Like the power button on many devices. (my laptop for example) They at least need to be able to be found easily tactically.

But the buttons on the rezound are thin, leaving little room for tactile differentiation and they are also placed on the side of the device where you can not see them without actively turning the phone and looking. So yeah, they are small pain and annoyance in an otherwise fine phone.

But was this always so? Was the buttons like this from the beginning and all through in house use testing and never discovered... or was it a last minute design change that wasn't thought through?

Lets look at some evidence shall we. Stock photos of the rezound in official HTC accessories.

Lets see...

Exhibit 1: HTC Silicone Skin view A

Exhibit 2: HTC Silicone Skin view B

Exhibit 3: HTC TPU Case view A

Exhibit 4: HTC TPU Case view B

Exhibit 5: HTC Extended Battery and Battery Door

This is only a few examples, there are others.

As you can see, these Rezounds all have buttons that protrude from the device slightly, just enough to allow tactile location of these critical controls.

It may just all be a trick of the angles and lighting when the pictures were taken, but they seem to protrude too far for that.

I believe these devices are early build units destined for in house testing and use of the final design. For some strange reason though, they changed the buttons to a flush mount for the actual production run.

Sad seeing as how great the phone is otherwise.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I have no issues with the power button and volume rocker. Once you get used to it they perform just fine imo.
[HTC Rezound] reggie cheeks:
Hmm. I plan on getting the extended battery and I am wondering how the cover will effect the flush buttons but in the meantime I'm a fan of the design. I'm already use to them and find myself trying to turn on my incredible on the right.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
I have had mine for a few days, I am getting better, but I would still appreciate a better tactile feel for the button placement.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:

[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
well i totally agree that the volume button suck LOL....i use a TPU case and it really sucks to adjust the volume witht eh case on. Now witht he Otterbox Commuter i can press the buttons even easier witht he case on compared to being off...All i can say really is, Is this your first HTC DEVICE (not being mean either)?????....in the recent years ive noticed HTC's buttons have gotten more and more flush with the Housing. Like the EVO 4G, the volume buttons were great, but the POwer button was a pain in the ass. The EVO 3D buttons were horrifying. The were slightly raised this time but hard as hell to press. But I try not to worry about the buttosn so much. Its gets people thinking a little too much and then they start to think about returning it HEHE. Id say if they start to get real frustrating for you, maybe u can get a replacement and see if another one differs from the one u have now?....thats what I did with my EVO 3D and the second one was a world of difference...
[HTC Rezound] Devildog8791:
I'm like you. I have the Otterbox Commuter case and this is a non-issue for me.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
There is no difference.
[HTC Rezound] androidaddict23:
The button on my first rezound protruded,and had good response with tpu case. My second rezound buttons are flushed , but really is not a problem so I enjoy the phone.
[HTC Rezound] yoitsbry:
Some rezounds have buttons that pop out a bit and some rezounds have buttons that are flush with the bezel. Not an actual difference in the devices, it is a difference in the plastic pieces(volume rocker/power button). If you open up the device you will see what I am referring to.
[HTC Rezound] phillybizzle:
Being a incredible 2 user for ovet a year...I stoll can't get used to volume buttons on the opposite side
[HTC Rezound] DrSadistic:
I hate the flush buttons... Otterbox fixed that issue for me tho ;)
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
My buttons look just like the pics. I can see the protrusion and feel it if I run my finger along the edge.

The volume rocker is in the same position as my old phone so it works great for me.

I would have preferred the power button on the side of the phone as I think it would be easier to push it one handed. Like right below the volume rocker so I could press it easily with my middle finger when holding the phone in my left hand. As it is, sometimes I unintentionally adjust the volume at the same time as hitting the power button due to holding the phone with my other fingers in that area. I'm sure I will get used to it and my hand position will adjust and it will become second nature for me to avoid doing that.
[HTC Rezound] didiwags:
At first the buttons were annoying, but I have gotten used to them!! :)
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
I take it you're in the graduate program "Human Factors& Ergonomics".
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
This is my first smartphone, the buttons work great.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
I wish they offered phones in different varieties for different sized people. for instance, I'm tall and have big hands so these 'small' phones like the Rezound are a bit if a pain to use. i'd like a much bigger phone that fits in my hand better and is easier to use the touchscreen(I keep accidentally hitting the wrong buttons/links on the screen).
[HTC Rezound] fernando sor:
The power and volume buttons i agree are difficult.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
This is far from my first HTC device... and not my first android. I have been around since the G1 days and followed the development since early 2007. All have been HTC phones.

The buttons are just a bit of a pain and a little more thought would have been nice. I love the phone otherwise though.

I did a slight mod to my TPU case that helps a lot with using the volume buttons.

I am a fan of good well thought out design. I am not a fan of design for designs sake. The rezound borders that line in a few places but overall I like it.

This was mostly just an observation I noticed and thought I would share.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
The only thing that annoys me I'd that I'd like for the headphone jack to be on the opposite side. When I put my phone in landscape I turn it to the left so the buttons are by my right hand. When I have headphones plugged in, I have to rotate it the other way so the plug doesn't get in the way. It's just a minor annoyance.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
i'd like the headphone jack to be in the middle & possibly have the usb jack right next to it(or on the bottom in the middle). makes it easier for landscape regardless of which side it's on.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i TOTALLY agree with headphones being on the opp side, like the inc!! i turn it the same way; trying to type iwth the headphones in is impossible and annoying lol so i just turn it over the other way now.
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
When I first received the phone the buttons were odd and took some time to get use to. After a week or so, I have no issues with them at all. I actually think I prefer them to be low profile. Also I use a case. it has cutouts for the volume and the power. I press the bottom area of the cut out or top to use the volume rocker. easy as pie.

Well i am messing around with my X8. I made some thing that holds my X8 and i Put down my X8 on it and it gone Landscape mode then i was testing with 2 fingers and i saw 2 touches ( 2 fingers) then i was moving them around like crazy then i saw a Blue , Red And a GREEN one just poped out of nothing and 3rd touch was thare it just flashed a green touch! So i think meybe its not at all clearpad 2000. Or maybe its just a Multitouch visible test app bug? Or is it andrej's module?
[XPERIA X8 General] sumith.vj866:

[Android Themes] KLoNe1:
Hey guys,

I'm just finishing up work on my theme but there is just one part which I cannot get the way I like it. Unfortuantely it is involved with a widget which I cannot change just by messing with a jpg in Photoshop or changing rows/columns in LauncherPro etc.

My problem is with Fancy Widgets. I'm trying to make a row of 'forecast' icons with a small 'day' label above them. Now, Fancy Widgets (I'm using the paid version) comes with 2 types of 4x1 (horizontal) widgets which do exactly this, shown here:

Ignore the temperature; fancy widgets can hide this element.

Now, if you look closely, the top widget has slightly bigger icons, which I want, but the day text is below the icons and quite a bit far away; where as the bottom widget has the text perfectly in place, but the icons are smaller, which I don't want :(

So, what am I to do? Let's get down and dirty with some XML editing :D

Now, I've extracted the apk with APKManager and found (what I think are) the 2x XML's in questions:

widget_14_forecast.xml

widget_14_forecast_alt.xml

Now; looks to me that the top xml I quoted is the top widget in the pic.

What I tried to do, was change the android:layout_height="52.0dip" in the 2nd one to a 60.0dip to try and make the icons bigger.

From then I recompiled & resigned the apk with APKManger, reinstalled the new Fancy Widgets and gave it a go.... Huge fail; Now the 4x1 widget will just show "Widget Failed To Load"... or equivilant.

Anyone be able to point me in the right direction? :confused:

Many thanks dudes :)
[Android Themes] KLoNe1:
Mumpty bump PLZ! :)
[Android Themes] heXacode:
I think what happened was when the day text was on top of the weather icon, it crunched the icons to a smaller size due to widget size.

Instead of using 60, why not try 53.0dip and see what happens? You may have set too great of a number for it to show properly in the widget.

Not entirely sure but I'd go with 53.0dip, since original was 52.0dip, instead of 60.0dip.

Usually when I theme, and I have a problem with something, I'll look at an original XML and see what they did to make it look the way it should.
[Android Themes] KLoNe1:
Thanks TheSwaggeR. I gave up pretty quickly - I may have tried a lower number & it still didn't work.

After lots of searching (Root Explorer has a terrible search!), I found that the weather icons were stored on the SDCard - I manually changed the size of the .png files and it worked a treat :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
I recently tried the radio xxkk6 but don't think it's much good for me. My phone always connects to 2g when turned on and takes a while to then find 3g. I have a full 3g signal in my area and have tried changing various settings. This was never the case with xxkk1 so i would like to go back to using that.

I have the xxkk1 image on my laptop ready and waiting. Is it just a case of re entering fastboot and using the

$ fastboot-windows flash radio <image name here>

or do i have to do something else like delete the radio partition first?

Thanks.

Rik.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UD`:
flash it the same way
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
Ok i'll give it a go. Is there any way to find out what radio version is installed(obviously to verify it has reverted back)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stea1thmode:
go into settings/about phone and check baseband version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
All sorted now. I tried this earlier and my phone was still struggling to get a 3g signal so I'm now left wondering if it was a coincidence. I've just rebooted and it got 3g straight away.

I'm new to all this fastboot and rooting etc and only just started last night.

Thanks.

Hello everyone, I managed to get the Creatouch app we had when we were still on Donut. Nothing big, I am on stock ROM so I have the PlayNow™ app installed and just found Creatouch there.

The app works on pretty much every ROM.

Note: There were two Creatouch-es on PlayNow, Creatouch and Creatouch Mini. The apk that I'm providing is Creatouch Mini because the other one looked too big and distorted on the X8's screen. That one is probably meant for X10 and other bigger screens.

[HTC Desire S] MrUvedoble:
Yesterday, my brother was updating Android OTA on his HTC Desire S. During the installation, he got impatient and wanted to abort the update. Because he couldn't find a cancel button, he decided to remove the battery. This indeed aborted the update but left him with a phone without a properly installed OS.

The phone doesn't boot up anymore. In fact, it doesn't respond at all. Not even if I try a hard reset (volume down + power button).

Is there something left to try?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Oops :eek: Not the wisest course of action by your bro there.

Am I correct in assuming that you mean from a powered-off state, holding the Vol- key and pressing the power button doesn't do anything?

If you connect the phone to the mains charger, do you get the charging light appear on the phone still?

I guess the biggest question here would be - was this an unmodified phone (i.e. not been 'S-Offed', rooted etc? If so then you may find the best course of action is to return it for official repair - if he's not had it very long then take it back to the shop he bought it from, otherwise go through the Mobile Phone Network's helpline for it to be repaired. Just tell them that it was doing an OTA and failed - don't mention getting impatient though.
[HTC Desire S] MrUvedoble:
Yes

No, it doesn't respond to the charger or the USB cable.

Here's the catch, he got the phone second-hand from a friend abroad who had it lying around. Therefore, going back to the shop isn't really an option.

I guess he permanently bricked his phone then?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I would suspect that, if it's not even responding to a mains charger, that it is toast - but maybe somebody can correct me on this?

Hello everyone.

I am in search of an app that can HIDE / BLOCK CALLER ID IN OUTGOING CALLS. This one is preferably for Indian users.

Hope to get answers soon
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dpeeps74:
Hmmm, an app wouldn't do this, although I guess it could if it placed the call for you. Really you would need a feature code for this. Common one is *67 followed by the number you're dialing. Your best bet is a google search like "sprint feature code" but using your carrier. You could also try using the word "star" in place of feature. Some carriers will not have all features of their phone system enabled.

Edit: I guess an app could possibly do it, you could also search "anonymous call" in the market to see.
