I find it perfectly easy to turn the phone off one handed. I haven't had cause to use the reset button yet so who cares where it is. Not to mention that you don't want it in too convenient a location lest it is pressed by accident! The movement of the device while on a flat surface is minimal. Admittedly the fact that the volume buttons don't lock is annoying but something I am sure can be solved with software. The lack of a camera button is a minor irritant although accidentally pushing the button and activating the camera on my Trinity was also slightly irritating.

I would suggest that your list of "Major Flaws" hardly adds up to a minor irritant and if you are so frustrated by such small things then I doubt you are ever content. Nothing is perfect, to expect such is foolish and will only ever end in disappointment...
[Touch HD General] abeery:
You can reset the device by taking the back cover off but you can also reset by holding down the power button for a few seconds
[Touch HD General] mcano:
They did not complain because they don't know they could have better. Yes I can turn it on with either hand also, but it is very inconvenient. If you think this button is well placed, then you must have both hands left. :p

If you are doing experiments you just have to

Yeah right, if it is not design flaw why should I ever use any third party sw to disable it? If you have to find a way how to deal with it it mean it's flawed, period. Volume button on Elf was just fine no need to bother how to disable it.

It has flawed hw, no software will help you, as I said light sensor is not sensitive enough to see difference between normal lighting condition in my room and pitch black, so everything in between is the same. So you cannot set different backlight for normal room and dark night.

Just place your phone on table and try to hit [X] button. that's it.
[Touch HD General] mcano:
power button won't help you in certain situations.
[Touch HD General] tingsagwaan:
You dont need third party software, a small dll edit sorts it out and some people want to be able to adjust the volume while the device is locked so they can easily change music volume.

The light sensor is suprisingly sensitive. Do as instructed, install G-Light and all your backlight woes will melt away :rolleyes:
[Touch HD General] mcano:
Light sensor is not sensitive enough, I installed GLight, thats how I found out.
[Touch HD General] gogol:
The thing that I dont like with HD is .... current TouchFlo 3D.

HD has 3.8" screen, great 800x480 resolution ... but that TF3D Today screen is just waste of space because it can only display 2 appointments.

To make it worse, I cannot install Today plugin there.

Oh yeah, I can disable and use other Today application like the old HTC Home, SecondToday or SpB Mobile Shell ...

You right, but that's not the point ... HTC should have done it right to incorporate the new hardware ... the big screen with its software, user interface, and such.

Another one, why the contact photo tab could not have "tiled" (arrange to grid) photo arrangement? I hate scrolling just to find the correct contact photo. The contact photo in Manilla is better.

Another one, why the image viewer could not operate in full screen? Yes, I know, the sliding flow animation is nice for showing off .... but to have option for full screen is much better.

So, thanks to current economic crisis, I decided to wait for the next iteration.
[Touch HD General] buggybug0:
as much as we dont like the tf3d, we have to realize, htc gave this to us for free. other companies, charge for such a program, spb mobile shell, etc.

secondly, even you agreeed this is a beautiful phone, so htc did a great job. software wise, ms mobile is bad. even worse, ms didn't open their platform, so htc can't implement this "touch " shell deeper into the OS. given their fortay is in the hardware, and this giiant obstacle, i say they did an admirable job.

as for the appointmments, using advanced config tool, i can seethe appointments of the next two days. give it a try.
[Touch HD General] vangrieg:
What do you mean by that? Go to Album, see the thumbnails, tap on a picture and voila - you have it in full screen.
[Touch HD General] rovex:
I really think most of the issues listed here are minor and the strength of the complaining is somewhat over the top.

The power button is fine, no issues with it at all.

The reset should be under the back cover, best place for it. Its not like the cover is hard to remove. Most phones dont have them at all.

The light sensor isnt great, but frankly ive not seen a good one yet. The one on my N95 8GB doesn't seem to do anything at all.
[Touch HD General] mallman:
I agree with 2 points only. The contour of the camera which doesnt really bother me but a flush camer woudl have been slick. Lastly the reset button. If i have to ake off the back cover I may as well remove the battery. LOL, nonetheless, i love the device. Sure it has shortcommings but hey... so do I :)
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
Lol I had a good laugh reading the initial post and then buggybug0's reply

Sometimes, I just have to conclude, that some people are born to ***** about things. No matter how good something is, they will find a way to make it look like crap.

Two hands to operate the power button?! I am not even going to apply nuances here. I suppose you eat with only a fork or a knife because you need both hands to operate either?? Eat some meat. It contains aminoethanesulfonic acid. Good for your motorics.

Slight wobbling (I say slight because it barely moves when I press it, but I can image people being less accurate or less used to touch screens press it harder just to increase finger surface to avoid misclicks) is something I can't even begin to be bothered about... come on, it barely even moves, unless you hammer OK button. I suppose that, and the power button are major design flaws and that Apple and HTC produce horrible phones? Surely they have a lot of room for improvement, but f*cking pieces of sh*t?? Get real.

See previous posts here. Want help? Ask. That, and download Advanced Config and AEButtonPlus, that'll get most of your complaining sorted including your reset button issue in 99% of the cases. And before you complain about how a phone should work perfectly out of the box, you can discuss about it all you want but in the end it is and remains just an academic issue. Who cares who provided the solution, the party you paid or the community, be glad there is a fix out there for almost any problem, and they're mostly free and dead simple.
[Touch HD General] Da_Kem:
LOL, I have the perfect solution for this.. Do not buy it, buy something else.. Do not know what because everything has major flaws..

Better if you know it so well, design and build one yourself. As soon as it is ready and finished for sure tons off people will ***** and and say that it is ridiculous and is useless.. It is impossible to design and build something which is perfect..
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
As for the reset button yeah I agree it's a flaw, but not one that I can't manage. In most cases where you use the reset button your device was not completely frozen, but rather so irresponsive that the dialog triggered by holding the power button no longer would show or respond, no more screen update.

Yet the device can still respond to instant power down, which is also what the reset triggers.

AEbuttonplus really helped there, I just assigned this 'hard' shutdown to holding down another button, and it usually responds where the power button does not, since the instant shutdown does not require user interaction yes/no on the screen.

Since I install EVERYTHING and do a lot with emulators, my devices freezes a lot, but most of the time, especially with emulators, the screen was just taken over and i couldnt close the app anymore, no control, so I needed instant reset, worked perfectly with aebutton.
[Touch HD General] Boinng:
Bear in mind with the iPhone, you can take it out of standby with the big friendly home button on the front, and it goes back into standby automatically (as the HD does I'm sure), so most of the time you only need the button on the top for actually turning the phone on from cold, or turning it off entirely - two functions which you generally wouldn't want to be too easy.

As I never ordinarily turn my iphone off, I rarely if ever use that top button.
[Touch HD General] Moandal:
Oh my God! Aaaaargh! The phone WOBBLES on a table! MAJOR design flaw!

Seriously if you consider that a major annoyance (which from your post you clearly do), your life must be filled with constant annoyance, frustration and disappointment. You really need to get a grip and put things into perspective.
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
I am puzzled. We complain that Windows mobile crashes often, and this should not happen. But then we complain that the reset button in a windows mobile is not nicely accessible for every day reset. I had to use the reset button once in 3 weeks of test and trials on the HD - i don't care if it is hidden.

In addition, i can conveniently switch on and off the button with a single hand. Actually, i prefer the button to be there since otherwise my car holder will push the on/off button while holding it - a problem which i had on the trinity (side button) and was quite annoying.

The rest is subjective and i will not argue - but I have the impression it is consequence of unjustified hypes and dreams. The touch HD costs essentially like the touch, and in my opinion it is the greatest PDA i have ever had (just to give you a different subjective experience).
[Touch HD General] tingsagwaan:
Not being funny but I have installed G-Light as well and when I open up the options screen I found that the current light sensor level is highly sensitive to light fluctuations (having tested it with the dimmer switch :p) and the figure matches the light level closely so I'm not sure why you've had such difficulty :confused:

Personally I love my Blackstone so very much, its like a small child and I feel equivalent measures of warmth and affection for it. Everyday it brings new joys in to my life as I caress its extra large screen, marvel at its nippy GPS or wow a friend with the super sensitive G sensor *sigh* :o

Quite frankly I'm in gadget heaven and intend to remain here for the foreseeable future. :D
[Touch HD General] mcano:
I'm happy your Light sensor works great, mine doesn't as I said. Where is it located exactly, maybe I have some dust or something on it.
[Touch HD General] mcano:
Or maybe I just watch Top Gear too much. It's TV show where guys take very expansive and good cars and then *****ing about wobbling and everything, every single screw with conclusion it's a **** car.

I didn't really mean it's ****ing piece of ****. It's in fact, the best phone I have seen and have had so far and I have been waiting and looking forward to it since they announced it. I have been using Elf before and what I expected from HD was I will get the same, but with larger screen, more memory, better processor, gps, G-Sensor, L-sensor, autofocus, nice design and other cool stuff, Which I got indeed. But in addition they screwed up some things. It's not like well nothing is perfect, because it was perfect already. Or I'm *****ing because it's new or different and I have get use to it. I gave you objective reasons why power, volume, reset, camera buttons are worst then on Elf, you may say it's not a big deal, you may be right and even with this issues it's still worth it. But you may not deny that this issues exists, because they do and if you can't see it, it's maybe because you just never had something better.

Have a nice day.
[Touch HD General] tingsagwaan:
Im not sure where the light sensor is, its something I would like to know also... anyone?

You know if I had to complain about anything it would be the camera. It takes a stupendously long time to focus, its actually embarrassing when you ask a mate to pose and they have to sit there for 5 to 10 seconds while your phone whirs, beeps and clicks at them! The worst thing is that once it has focused the bloody pictures don't even look it!

I'm not that bothered by it as I don't generally use my phone to take pictures but I was excited to hear the TouchHD had a 5 megapixel camera and very disappointed by its execution but then HTC have never excelled at cameras have they.
[Touch HD General] multan:
The light sensor is on the earpiece of the phone itself. On the right hand side of the earpiece, which is a tiny square there.

If you do look inside the manual, you can see it on page 25.

I believe HTC will do something with an updated firmware, provided that HTC is hearing what we mentioned here...
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
Not sure if HTC is reading THIS, but my experience with HTC so far is that they really move at good pace to fix issues.
[Touch HD General] TTDegs:
The registery hacks in the Tweaks thread allow you to select the Sports setting for the camera, which seems to reduce the delay.

Still takes a second to take the pic, so it's not point and shoot, but it is a lot better :)

The resulting pics still aren't fantastic, but not bad by camera phone standards :)
[Touch HD General] esackbauer:
You can display more, you just have to flip the clock up.

It is possible. Read about SecondToday here on this forum.

Come on, everybody knows that this is basically the same phone as the diamond just with larger screen. I can't believe that all those *****ers are not aware of this??
[Touch HD General] defcon2000:
mmmh, light sensor works great for me... can't rebuild your problem. reset button was a worst thing too... but there is a easy way. hold the power button 2 s and the system resets.

the camera is bad... no problem for me, but the cam is definitly bad! ;)

volume keys and one hand power on ist no problem... and i have small hands. a defintion of taste? i like the volume keys, cause a change to the next page with mobipocketsbooks and I like mobipocket ebooks with that fantastic screen. :)
[Touch HD General] Bobby.pike:
Slightly off topic- But whats the touch flow 3 like? How much better than 2 is it. Would it be worth getting for this?
[Touch HD General] Виток:
Stop Complaining

Yea, uhm, how old are you? 10? Then I understand your hands are small, now one other question, have you ever used the iPhone? If so, did you have problems there too? If not, no one else is complaining.

Since WHEN do you need to reset a phone? Are getting like spyware and viruses or something on it and that you need to reset it ASAP or otherwise it's the end of the world?? It's placed under there beautifully, pulling out battery to reset phone will damage phone in more ways. Button is there so it won't be pressed accidentaly or seen, like a little red dot.

What the hell is "auto portrait"?

There are a few things I know of: Self Portrait and Auto Focus.

Self Portrait, use the damn front camera.

Auto Focus, what is the problem?

Frankly I don't have a problem with the volume buttons on the side, actually makes everything easier for me.

Works just fine for me, you must have done something to it or got dust in or something because it is never too dark or bright for me.

Keyword "Cellphone" and "Camera Protector"

One, who uses a cellphone (Remember it's a keyword) on a table?????? That is the first time I have ever heard of this.

Two, I know you don't want to scratch up the camera, that is the reason it is being "protected."

Three, if the phones "wobbling" is irritating you so much, I suggest you do what the cell phone is made to do, PICK IT UP OFF THE TABLE, HOLD IT IN YOUR RIGHT OR LEFT HAND, DIAL A NUMBER, AND SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE. There is no reason why the phone should be on the table and still being used.

Name 1, just ONE phone that doesn't have hardware, let alone software, issues. Name just ONE PHONE, and I will get off your back.

Touch Elf, what, it's "small" enough for you?

Piece of ****, of buddy, if this phone is a piece of **** to YOU, ever other phone EVER MADE is a piece of **** to someone else, everyone has different tastes, doesn't mean if it doesn't fit your "small" lifestyle it's a piece of ****.

Case closed.

Now tell me I'm wrong.

And give me the name of your "perfect" little phone. I bet I'll tear up some **** on it.
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
Виток, you just totally nailed it.

The biggest problem I have with this phone is the constant *****ing and whining about it.

Problems exist, and I understand that there is not much customization yet for the HD because of lack of ROMs (which is soon to change and you know it so don't post nonsense arguments like "where do you get your information from?" do the friggin math), which is the reason that there is still mostly only *****ers and moaners on this board, but despite that I am really getting tired of it.

mcano, I am not aiming all of this at you, because that would be overdoing it as well, it's more aimed at the collective of end-of-the-world complaining on the HD forum... Especially endless complaints and daily new threads about the same problems like a) things that you COULD HAVE EASILY DEDUCED PRIOR TO BUYING THE PHONE, even long before it was out (like interface, hard and soft) and b) things that are very likely to get sorted with updates.
[About XDA developers] CheapDad:
I'm going to apologize in advance if this has been covered elsewhere and I do not intend to stir the pot. Some time ago, when surfing XDA for info, I found references to sponsorship or funding by Huawei. (Admittedly, I don't seem to see that anymore.) Given that there are at least some concerns about Huawei's relationship with the Chinese government, could someone clarify for me if there is such a sponsorship or involvement by Huawei?
[About XDA developers] ze7zez:
I don't know why you are surprised by legal sponsorship. After all, you can find links through google, such as this one:

www.xda-developers.com

where it directly says:

I used this app on xda a while back for my Pixel 5 and it worked ok despite it falling out of memory every so often. It's been updated quite a bit since. Thinking about installing it again myself.

https://xdaforums.com/t/app-1-4-tap...-device-gesture-from-android-12-port.4140573/

Anyhow, it's not double tapping the screen. It's double tapping the back of your phone to turn it off, so it may not be what you're looking for.

I'm hesitant to install apps on the Playstore that will give you an icon to turn off the screen as I'm a little wary about giving special access to an app like that no matter what the reviews are.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
If you get the Super Status Bar app, it has a feature that allows you to interact with the status bar that includes tap/double tap/tap and hold/swipe left/swipe right to turn off the screen.

• Select Metadata > Change FS > Select ext2

• Wipe > Format data > Yes

• Clean Install ROM Again > Format data > Yes > Reboot

Thanks,
