very interesting indeed. I would be convinced if someone could confirm this also. i guess the real issue im trying to figure out is if the screen is using the electric conductivity of the finger for input and not pressure sensitivity. i believe some people are labeling this phone as a capacitive phone merely based on the fact that it has multi-touch capabilities, even though htc is making its own claims. as stated resistive screens can do this as well and so they shouldnt be labeled as capacitive. i guess we wont know until SOMEONE just tries it out!!!
[General Topics] Zhuk86:
Look i'll admit I don't really understand the technologies behind these phones, but if I do understand what you are saying, doesn't that mean if HTC are making a phone which does all the multi touch stuff an iphone/capacitive screen can and has somehow used resistive touch tech with it (meaning we can use styluses as well as fingers) mean that this is a really good thing? :)

seems to me if this were true would there be anything negative about it?
[General Topics] lude219:
didnt someone (possibly bel3rfonte) verified that the HD2 has a glass-like screen? If it did, wouldnt that eliminate the notion of pressure/resistive screen?

I totally get your point, that HTC is labeling this resistive multi-touch technology as "capacitive," but on the other hand, we won't know until we (the consumers) get the final hardware in our hands. HTC have had capacitive screens on their android phones so it's not like they havent played around with it.

I'd say let's give HTC the benefit of the doubt for now and reserve judgment until we can get a clear answer on what kind of screen they're actually using.
[General Topics] itoYo:
all things said, i think resistive multi-touch has its own advantages. if it is that is!
[General Topics] why_999:
Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

However, all I see is that there is a new generation of resistive screens on to the market to multi-touch capabilities... As stated in the first post the technology is similar but very different all the same.

But would you all not agree the acid-test would be... will the Leo work with a stylus? As all new resistive multitouch screens allow this (this is from the links in the first post) and as we all know that capacitive will not.

Cheers
[General Topics] Dark Fire:
I've just been looking through the official specs of HTC's android devices, and they don't actually say in the specs that the devices have capacitive screens. The HD2's capacitive screen is mentioned in its specs. Weird...
[General Topics] tazbo28:
I agree that the only real test is to try out a stylus. I think that all the tester devices that the media have gotten to review all might have had a resistive display for prototype purposes, however every single one of them just seemed to be so excited by the multi-touch capabilities and the huge screen that they really just forget to just try out a stylus.

also, i never said that having a resistive screen was a negative thing. the real downside howver is the fact that resistive screens arent very durable and are easy to scratch and tear the layer of plastic just like my 8125. if they find a way to incorporate a glass top layer then i think they have a winner. And as i said before i am going to buy the leo regardless of what screen it has, i am nearly tiring of this iphone and would like to come home to WINMO soon!! i havent even been this excited since winmo 6 was announced!
[General Topics] Noam23:
With capacitive you don't need to press, it is enough to just touch. People who used the HD2 said it was able to register a click by just touching, without applying any pressure what-so-ever. How can resistive do this ?

To tell the truth I don't care if it's resistive. The only capacitive features I wanted were multi-touch and no-pressure clicks, if the HD2 can do both while staying resistive, I'm satisfied.

Btw, I do remember someone saying the capacitive technology can't currently reach 800x480, hence the iPhone was left behind with low-res. The fact that the HD2 has 800x480 res might indeed prove it's not capacitive.
[General Topics] kb0n:
Don't forget, HTC is not some sort of small company that can afford to do such mistakes. Claiming a screen as capacitive when it actually isn't would have consequences and get them into a lot of trouble. They are not that stupid to "lie" about those facts. You can be pretty sure that a huge company like HTC makes sure that officially announced specs are true.
[General Topics] Thom4s:
resolution or screen size doesn't matter

there are touchscreen desktop screens (used by artists for example) that are capacitive, resistive or both at the same time
[General Topics] wonsanim:
Yes totally agree to mush corporate damage can recived and to mush $ can loss.:eek:
[General Topics] manuelcalavera:
I also think its capacitive , as kabakara said , HTC cannot afford such mistakes .

anyways , multitouch-resistive screen is more expensive tech than a capacitive one . we have multitouch input and also accuracy , so it would be nice !!
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Well, capacitive touchscreens are far easier to operate than resistive ones... that is, I don't think it'd be nice to have another resistive screen.
[General Topics] br3nt:
could this just be because of the patented stylus pens?

whatever may be the cause, this was very interesting

maybe its a long shot, but could it not be just reflections...

anyways, im getting the device but hope someone disassembles it and finds out once and for all whats inside this monster :P

[General Topics] gsvnet:
The Palm Pre is not a multi-touch resistive screen, it's actually capacitive.
[General Topics] haplohaplo:
I've had the HTC HD2 for about a week now, and no, it doesn't not seem to register the stylus. I've only tried the one from my hp touchsmart tx2, and I tried an eraser from the back end of a pencil for the pressure and dragging and neither work. Seems like finger touch only. Oddly, if I put a piece of paper towel between my finger and the screen it does work. maybe the paper towel just isn't thick enough to prevent the heat of my finger from registering.

Just thought you all might want to know.

htc touch pro2 vs htc hd2 ?!

hi all. with all the hypes surrounding htc hd2... n my htc touch pro2 fast losing its crown of being the best winmo device in the market... shuld i upgrade to the hd2? n watz wif the glass screen? wuldn't it crack easily? it's glass! appreciate everyone's take on this. the only selling point tat is tempting me away frm my pro2 is abt the speed... 1ghz vs my miserable 528mhz... sad. everyone's talking abt its blazing speed. is it tat obvious?! then again there's tat camera issue... the infamous pinkish spot, which htc support claims it's related to the 1ghz dragon fella... software related... n restricted to only a selected few?! so it's like going2 the lottery n c who gets the infected piece is it?! bottom line is... my pro2 seems like a honda civic... n the hd2 is purportedly a nissan skyline, but wif so many question marks hanging over its head, shuld i still go for the upgrade? thnx!

[General Topics] Sibron:
not sure if you picked it up from another thread, but the HD2 id definitely not resistive, the screen is glass. I know this because i tried 4 different things for stylus, and non worked. Today i dropped my phone and the screen cracked, like glass cracks.

hope this answers your question.
[General Topics] kingsleyv:
Projected capacitance

Projected Capacitive Touch (PCT) technology is a capacitive technology which permits more accurate and flexible operation, by etching the conductive layer. An X-Y grid is formed either by etching a single layer to form a grid pattern of electrodes, or by etching two separate, perpendicular layers of conductive material with parallel lines or tracks to form the grid (comparable to the pixel grid found in many LCD displays).

The use of an X-Y grid permits a higher resolution than resistive technology. The greater resolution of PCT allows operation without direct contact, such that the conducting layers can be coated with further protective insulating layers, and operate even under screen protectors, or behind weather and vandal-proof glass. Due to the top layer of a PCT being glass, PCT is a more robust solution versus resistive touch technology. Depending on the implementation, an active or passive stylus can be used instead of or in addition to a finger. This is common with point of sale devices that require signature capture. Gloved fingers may or may not be sensed, depending on the implementation and gain settings. Conductive smudges and the like on the panel surface can interfere with the performance. Such conductive smudges come mostly from sticky or sweaty finger tips, especially in high humidity environments. Collected dust, which adheres to the screen due to the moisture from fingertips can also be a problem. There are two types of PCT: Self Capacitance and Mutual Capacitance.

Mutual Capacitance

In mutual capacitive sensors, there is a capacitor at every intersection of each row and each column. A 12-by-16 array, for example, would have 192 independent capacitors. A voltage is applied to the rows or columns. Bringing a finger or conductive stylus close to the surface of the sensor changes the local electrostatic field which reduces the mutual capacitance. The capacitance change at every individual point on the grid can be measured to accurately determine the touch location by measuring the voltage in the other axis. Mutual capacitance allows multi-touch operation where multiple fingers, palms or stylus can be accurately tracked at the same time.

Self Capacitance

Self capacitance sensors can have the same X-Y grid as mutual capacitance sensors, but the columns and rows operate independently. With self capacitance, the capacitive load of a finger is measured on each column or row electrode by a current meter. This method produces a stronger signal than mutual capacitance, but it is unable to resolve accurately more than one finger, which results in "ghosting", or misplaced location sensing.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jkcarp94:
I am interested in using the Blackberry Bluetooth Gateway (with my TP2) to stream A2DP music and my navigation app voice instructions to my RV stereo using the 3.5mm aux output on the Blackberry Bluetooth Gateway.

I don't actually own the Blackberry Gateway yet, so if there is a better product, let me know.

Question is, can I use the Gateway bluetooth for the A2DP streams and still send/receive calls on my Jawbone Prime headset at the same time.

I know that the A2DP audio will not continue when I am on a call. That is fine. But can I maintain connections to 2 bluetooth devices simultaneously, one for A2DP and one for phone calls?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] karandras24:

[Touch CDMA General] canyoufindben:
For the most part the devs have set that issue aside. There's no bootloader for linux on the vogue. Another route that was taken was to have a minimal Windows Mobile Rom with Haret and the the Android Image on the phones internal flash. The problem with that is Android would start corrupting the Windows portion of the Flash memory on the phone. It was then decided that it would be more useful to get more of the features on Android running better, like GPS tracking and Velocity, MMS, Full Bluetooth before revisiting the flashable ROM issue.

[G1 Android Development] TousPhone:
Hey everyone,

I've been trying to connect my wiimote in debian. Im new to linux, im kinda putting all the pieces together as i go. wminput and all its corresponding packages seemed to install just fine with 'apt-get install wminput'.

But when I run wminput I get the error "unable to open uinput"

so googled, and managed to find uinput.ko and some general instructions on installing it.

I loaded it into /lib/modules/2.6.29.6-cm41/ and ran 'insmod uinput.ko' and i get the error 'Invalid module format' which im assuming is because it was compiled for an x86 system. modprobe displays a similar error.

I also dont understand the "cm41" in the path /lib/modules/2.6.29.6-cm41/, is that short for CyanogenMod, am I placing this module in my android Filesystem?

Are there any linux guru's around that could compile uinput.c for the g1 debian build? Or simply tell me that im way off track and there are bigger problems involved with getting this to work.

Also, if wminput did function. Does anyone know if it would send button presses to android while running in the background?

uinput.c

http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/browser/trunk/wminput/uinput.c?format=txt

wminput

http://packages.debian.org/lenny/wminput

wmgui which i believe uses the same library as wminput has been made to work through ssh

http://www.lukedupin.com/projects/show?project=g1_wii -

There is also WMD for connecting to wiimotes but it requires uinput as well (i think).
