Hi

I think it is the accelerometer, my laptop which has one to detect if it is falling also makes the same noise.

Regards

Phil
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] adamrob69:
what is the accelerometer? is it normal then or something to worry about. if you tap the top of the phone with your finger you can hear something like a faint ratle or something along them lines.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] rumpleforeskin:
I think i know the sound you mean, and if we thinking of the same sound its the focuus in the camera. you hear the same sound after you take a photo and the focus releases
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PhilipL:
Hi

Could be indeed. The lens is suspended on a wire spring so an electro magnet can move it in and out to focus. So it would move about if the camera is shaken.

An accelerometer of the type in our phones I think is the same sort of thing, a magnet or coil of wires suspended on a wire spring so it can move about.

The noise is normal.

Regards

Phil

Hello,

I have the same noise... i think that is the camera lens or the stylus... not a big problem...
[G1 Apps and Games] Twister360:
Hey guys, does anyone of you know an app for Android that has some sort of Driving Theory tests. Im going on a vacation next week and I want to get my theory exam when I get back. So, I was wondering if there is an application that helps you test your knowledge. With Tests, or questions.

I don't think there is one, but I was just wondering.

Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] Chahk:
Maybe in Netherlands driving is a theory. In America it's something that distracts you while you're talking on the cell phone. :p

Seriously, I haven't seen any test prep apps.
[G1 Apps and Games] imbonez9:
Forget distracting I'm sorry but smoking is more IMO. Its just 75% don't know how to do it here.

- Oh so is eating, shaving, putting on make-up, but none of those are against the law. I have always talked, texted, emailed while driving at different speeds, some faster then others and not one accident.
[G1 Apps and Games] Chahk:
I was trying to keep it topical. This is an Android forum, after all ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] Twister360:
Thanks for the replies so far :)

Anyone else?:P
[G1 Apps and Games] tcindie:
It's highly unlikely that there is anything. Since rules and regulations vary from place to place, anything that might exist would be very location specific.

Don't you have some sort of a study guide?
[G1 Apps and Games] Twister360:
Yeah, I do. Thanks :)

nope dosnt work, set entry to decimal and put 999999 closed and did not do anything inside or outside Opera... what im talking about is a global fix.. not for certain apps as what it appears you linked me to.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DirtAddsHP:
bump for fix
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] AthenaLod:
AFAIK by default the accelerometer is only working in the HTC Album and Opera Mobile. How is this causing you any issues? Could it be possible that you have some g-sensor program start the support when the device starts?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DirtAddsHP:
hmm thats strange, its happening in every program and causing some to crash.. maybe its the ROM i have.. ill try upgrading this weekend.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mysterd:
This is usually not a "ROM problem" specifically.

But your installed rom may include some software that uses the g-sensor to make your screen rotate. Changescreen, gyrator or g-sen are some examples of such software.

This is what you have to tweak so that all apps do not rotate automatically.

But you definitely can't "turn off the g-sensor".... just add crashing apps to the rotating software black list.

There's anyway to make touchflo3d looks like spb mobile shell?

thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] iceman4357:
LOL....what would be the point? Why not just get Mobile shell?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Dadiio:
another application?

if tf3d can do it

will be better
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] whatthefudgsicle:
u can always disable tf3d and run spb mobile shell...i switched to a clean rom and tried spb and after a while i figured that i didnt want either because 6.5 is good enough by itself
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mwcostello:
You may want to ask this question in the general area or search for MS3 within the general forums. There's a lot of folks that have done some really neat stuff with MS3. I saw and was using for a while a titanium look.
[General Topics] mallen:
I've a Touch Diamond 2 which was in for repair, and, to cut a long story short HTC have repaired it, and shipped it to a random residential address 100 miles away from me. Despite numerous calls to their helpdesk they don't seem to be doing much, although they did ring me again today to see if I'd received the device yet. Erm, no, because it was shipped to a completely different address, and received and signed for by someone else last week.

Has anyone had a similar experience? I'm getting a bit fed up with being told to wait another 3-5 days. Does anyone have any contacts or useful numbers for talking to the UK repair centre, rather than having to deal with the European Support Desk each time? The European desk are very polite, but I get the impression they have to ask questions and wait for responses from the UK each time. I've pretty much given up on seeing the original device again - I'm hoping they'll have to issue a replacement.

Thanks.
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
what country are you in and how old is the device?

edit: sorry im an idiot - UK.

HTC Europe Co., Ltd.

Hatfield Road, Slough

Tel: +44 (0) 1753218960

Fax: +44 (0) 1753218961/62

You need to write to them and tell them they have 14 days to ensure your/replacement device is returned to your address. State that they have acknowledged they have the device and that they say that they have already posted but you tell them you have not recieved it. Its not your responsibility to ensure you get it and its not your responsibility to track/trace it. Tell them they have 14 days to ensure this is fixed and you are in possesion of a TD2 or you will start legal action (this letter is whats known as an LBA - Letter before action).

I doubt we will need to go the next step, once an LBA is issued most people pull there fingers out of there *****.

MAKE SURE YOU SEND IT RECORDED DELIVERY AND KEEP THE RECIEPT. TRACE IT AFTER 2 or 3 DAYS and KEEP THIS RECORD.

oh, and try checking a manufacturers website in future, address of the UK office is on it :-)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SexualChocolate:
Is it possible to:

1. Place direct dial contact shortcuts on the homescreen that have a picture or an icon? I lost myfavs with the cyan rom (and its worth it) but adding contact shortcuts just get me the rolodex icon for each contact and Id like to have a picture icon for each.

2. Put a notifications shortcut on the homescreen? I hate having to hit the menu button and then hit the notifications shortcut. Id like to have it right on my screen.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Better Cut will do it for you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
why would you want a notification short cut? all you do is drag the top of the phone down and the notification window comes down. no need to press menu or anything like that
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SexualChocolate:
While I didnt know this (thanks!) what I was referring too was the ability to look at my home screen and see a notification for missed call, or new email, etc. That way if i see I missed a call I can touch that icon instead of going through the notifications menu.

Hello. I used to have a htc hd but it was stolen. i was considering getting the tp2 but its not out here in the us yet so I got the n97. Its a cool phone but I wanted to know how does it compare with the tp2. I also wanted to know how the camera and video quality compare to the nokia because the nokia has great quality in those areas.

Also, I wanted to see if anyone knew how the internet speed compared with other browsers. The browser on the hd was great and plenty fast... At least until I compared it to a ipod touch and it smoked the speed of opera on wifi. Basically, I wanted to know if this is just a htc hd with a keyboard or is the internet and ui any faster. Thanks for any input!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] radiowc:
Hmm, sound like a McD fan come to Burger King asking how Burger King taste like (or vise versa), :D

Please feel free to check out other post on "Asked Owners TP2 questions" You may find why people pick TP2 :> compare to other like phone like iphone, etc.

Good luck with your finding :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] krowboi:
I live in the UK and have just picked up the TP2 following having the N97 for a few days. I would say that the TP2 beats the N97 in pretty much every area, except in the camera department. The only other thing that I miss from the N97 is 3.5 headset jack and its 32gb of memory.

I also really struggled with the N97 keyboard.. it was just not up to the job and compared to the TP2, well the TP2 keyboard is just 'wow'.

I've been away from WM for a year, and was, at first hesitant at going back there, now I'm glad I made the change. This site is just awesome, and I've been tapping away playing with the different settings and customizing the phone to my own requirements... having come from the iPhone, to the G1 and then the N97, the TP2 is just the best for having a poke around and making changes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ztealth:
I sold my n97 after two days with it.

And I have to agree with krowboi that TP2 beats n97 in every aspect expect camera.

The n97 is not well polished enough software wise, and the hardware is totally awful.

The one I had, had a camera lens cover flaw as the cover will scratch up the lens when you open and close it too much. The n97 keyboard is a joke, the buttons are too small and the d-pad takes up too much space. And there is no dedicated number rows like on the TP2.

Tp2 is way smoother in terms as software, as it doesn't even seem like it is WinMO anymore. I had more lag and trouble using the n97, the widgets in the home screen is a complete gimmick. Besides not having the 3.5mm jack ,and a dedicated camera shutter, TP2 is one of the best phones i have used ever.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thetruth1983:
Thanks

Thanks for the input guys. Im leaning towards the tp2 but I still commend nokia for trying to put everything but the kitchen sink in their phones. HTC makes it so hard to choose between their devices. If you want a mediocre camera with no 3.5 port, get the tp2. If you want a better camera with a 3.5 port but no video out or keyboard, get the HD. I just wish they would release a tp2 with decent camera quality, 3.5 jack, and decent video recording. All the nokia phones have had vga 30 fps recording for over 2 years and even the ipihone has caught up. I know its not good to buy a phone based on the camer capabilities but it just pisses me off when they advertise a 5mp or 3.2mp camera that has no flash and crappy quality.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ztealth:
the Tp2 produces pretty decent pictures in good lighting conditions...the video playback is also better than that of the n97.

there are many codecs for tp2 which can play a lot of videos that the n97 dont.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jim_0068:
The camera is the best part of the N97 but the camera lens cover is scratching the lens of the camera. Head over to www.thenokiablog.com and look at what it is doing to his pictures.

[Touch HD General] shinobih2o:
Hey guys.

One of these days I got an SMS from my carrier saying my data plan had been activated (I didn't ask for it) and that my cell would be self configured to use the data connection.

The problem is that since then, my phone seems to be connected full time.

The back plate is hot as hell, the battery doesn't last 6 hours, and every cheap pc speaker set (that suffers interference from cell phone waves) indicates it's connected the whole time.

The first time it happenned, I managed to turn it off with "HD Tweak".

Now I flashed Dutty's "R7 Thriller" and the problem is back, though now I use HD Tweak to disable the connection, set "always on" to false, set "auto disconnect" to 10 seconds and nothing seems to fix this. The only way to make my battery last for more then half a day is to put it in airplane mode.

I even tryied to set the 'priority' order of connections to "My Work Network", and I even deleted the data connection (There's "Vivo Zap", the Edge/3G one, and "Vivo MMS" - this MMS hasn't been deleted by me).

Anybody had any problem like this? How to fix this?!

Thanks in advance!
[Touch HD General] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
try this app http://rapidshare.com/files/88130685/MoDaCo_NoData.CAB.html

it disables data connection completely -- install then go to settings, connections and start no data and disable your decided connection! :)
[Touch HD General] shinobih2o:
Thanks a lot, I'll give it a try! ; )

Just outta curiosity: is this normal, this full time connection? I disabled it every way I found, and yet it didn't stop!

F*** Windows Mobile... ¬¬
[Touch HD General] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
Of course it aint normal, but I maybe wrong, cuz i have a completely different operator and completely different data connection(which is turned off for me by the operator)--- full time connection maybe active because something is wrong with your rom or something - try a hard reset if the nodata app doesnt help
[Touch HD General] shinobih2o:
NoData didn't run in my ROM (Onkolog's WM6.5 Full). : (

But I installed "Advanced Config Tool" and disabled "GPRS Auto Attach".

Description: "Automatically search GPRS/3G connection on start of radio, or only when a data connection must be estabilished".

It seems cooler now; as soon as I get to my work I'll test it with the desktop speakers (they make some pretty weird noises when there is a cell phone radio frequency emitter near them, like a cell phone trying to connect to the 3G or GSM network).

I'll post it back when I get back!
[Touch HD General] marex86:
I disabled my data connection like this

Settings>Connections>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks...

And in those two drop down menus select "My Work Network"

Worked for me....
[Touch HD General] shinobih2o:
I tried that too, but that didn't work.

Indeed, the only way to make the battery last more then 6 hours is to use "Advanced Config" and disable that 3G lookup thing.

Weird, uh? Anybody had a similar problem...?
[HTC Vox] viper-:
Hi All,

I am assuming that the Vox is the Xda Atmos under O2's branding (it looks identical minus the much better original styling).

We use these for the majority of our company phones. I am really getting sick of them though and wondered if anyone else who uses one frequently encounters any of the following problems:

- Dropped calls (mid conversation)

- Calls not being received, despite having signal

- Complete loss of GSM signal, despite another phone on the same network having a very good signal

- Random crashing

- Incredibly poor battery life despite the battery being brand new, power settings to max out the battery life and all but GSM connections turned off.

I am getting the above issues on most, if not all, of my Xda Atmos. They are all from O2, and mainly on the O2 network. But as the phones themselves are unlocked, I have also tried them on a variety of other networks with the same results.

I am thinking that it's an issue with the O2 ROM. WinMo smartphone edition cant be that bad can it?

Any input is appreciated, along with your own experiences of the phone.

Thanks.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
First things first, i did all this upgrading to hero crap so i can fix the problems i was having in JF's 1.51 Camera not working, apps not downloading properly, and just random constant crashing.

Now that i finally got hero to work after buying a brand new SD card, i'm stuck with one of the same problems.

Many apps including robodefense, my backup pro, and a few others and seems like just about every other app i try to download screws up.

This is EXACTLY what happens.

I click download

App starts to download

The file size it shows is 45-55% of the actual full size.

--Example: Robodefense is normally 3.5MB, the phone only downloads 1.75MB

The phone downloads the reduced file size and says it's complete

Also it's not like it shows downloaded 1.75 of 3.35 and ends. It actually shows the full file size of the app as 1.75 where as the description shows the full file size at 3.35

Obviously because the app didn't download properly it won't load.

NOTHING has fixed this.

-15 factory wips

-10 card formats and repartitioning

-JF's 1.5 rom has this problem

-Jacheros 2.7.3 rom has it as well (what i'm currently using)

i've also reinstalled each rom 10 times. and nothing. every single time the same apps won't download properly

Now i'm pretty sure now that it's because of Apps2sd but that dosn't make any sense since when i first did apps2sd EVERYTHING worked that i installed, it wasn't until jf 1.51 and a few weeks after that all this **** started happening.

I figured going to a new rom would fix it and that it was something that JF's 1.51 was doing. But now on a brand new rom it's doing the same thing.

I really hope theres someway to fix this, or someone can point me to a stock US T-Mobile rom so i can test to see if it is apps2sd.

or if someone just knows what this is because i'm really pissed off about this and i'm about ready to just leave android all together.
