Hi,

I have just started using Andriod 3 days ago and LOVE it. It’s like I have a new phone.

Have 2 4GB SD's, one with 1.5 and one with 1.6 until I decide which to stick with.

My question...

What Rez are ppl running in 1.6?

mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 lcd.density=120

or

mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160

and why?

I know that QVGA is the native and something’s look sharper like the time font at the top right.

But.... I installed the HTC_IME.apk and the letters on the keyboard are nasty.... also there is the fact that there is less real-estate on the screen at the lower rez.

So.... what other issues / reasons should I be considering here?

Are there fixes for the issues I have mentioned?

-N-
[Touch CDMA General] plemen:
240 x 320 for me its crisp and sharp. I can't go back to 320 x 480 - the whole screen looks blurry and awful imo.
[Touch CDMA General] OldGaf:
Yes... I am torn between a better looking screen and a bigger screen.

Also, I have fairly large fingers so really like the HTC keyboard... but can look at it in QVGA....
[Touch CDMA General] polyrhythmic:
To me, 320 x 480 looks cleaner, the fonts look sharper and more fits on screen... but it is not as fast, and the 2:3 aspect ratio is weird. I love how speedy 240 x 320 is and the 3:4 aspect ratio rocks, but I can't stand the market issues. I wish there was a happy medium, like on Ion.
[Touch CDMA General] Giggles 312:
yeah i agree i got some nasty big fingers too .. but check out betterkeyboard for android, got tons of themes on the marketplace and i personally love the boston bruins, so im using that theme, and the keyboard is basicly like the hero keyboard but not. if you know what im saying? lol
[Touch CDMA General] Link9228:
I voted for changing between both, depending on what you want. Usability wise,

mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160 is probably better. More apps are compatible with this res. and there's more 'real estate' on the screen of the device to work with.

But when you want to show off to your friends, definitely 240x320 w/ 120. It looks crisp and the apps that do work properly are nice and sharp.

If you want looks, go for the smaller res. and density, otherwise go for the larger res and density.

Ok, im going to start not from the beginning beginning, but from where problems started.

Friday night, went out, I was writing an sms when somebody pushed me and i dropped my wiz, i picked it up, to find that the battery was gone, nowhere to be found, i did find the cover tho. i tried to look for the batt, but i was in the middle of the club so it wasn't that easy.. I knew that a friend of mine had a spare one so i didn't worry that much.

Sunday I got the replacement, tried it, no luck, it ran out i thought, but when i tried to charge it, nothing happened. Buying a new one is not that easy when you are in Argentina, and they are expensive, so i decided to jump sart it.

good news

: it worked, i could turn on the phone, so the battery is fine.

bad news

: it still doesn't want to charge!

I previously had problems with the usb, and i had to have it soldered again, pretty strong, but I thought that might be the problem again, so i disassembled my wiz.

new problem

: the power button broke, the tiny, tiny black piece fell off, AND I LOST IT! DOH!

Anyways, the usb is still soldered pretty strong, i don't think its gonna go loose again, so thats not the freaking problem!

So now, instead of the initial no-charge problem, i have a disassembled wizard, that won't charge the goddamn battery, AND a broken power button (tried to glue it, but fell off again and thats when i lost the piece).

Regarding the button, i've studied my options, what would you recommend and how would you do it?

option 1:

turn on the phone with the soft reset hole, and remap the screen on/off function to another button.

option 2:

replace the power button internal piece with the one from the voice command button (i never use it). i've taken a look and they seem to be the same, but i don't know if taking it off and soldering it back would work..

anyways, that leaves me again with my initial problem, and i do have an hypothesis. I THINK (because I THINK i remember this happening to me before), that the battery won't start charging until windows has started, and the jump star power the battery has is not enough to get it started (tried to tape it and leave it for a while to see if it charged a bit more, but didn't work, the phone turns on but goes out when loading, and since i've my wiz pretty loaded it takes its time to load).

So to try this out i would need a way to charge the battery manually, and i don't have access to another wiz to have it charged (my friend had a spare batt because his wiz is broken).

So, if you have a solution to this, ANY different solution, or even an IDEA, please give me a hint!

For what i've read, this are common problems, so there must be something out there.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nandobang:
Man, that's a bad thing :(

I'll try to help you as much as I can.

You are right about Wiz only start charging when it's on. After my N78 was stolen and I went back to the Wizard, the battery was without any charge for months... I plugged it and no red LED... Turned it on and, bingo, red LED and charging!

The voice command and the on/off buttons are the same, so (in theory) it would work 100% IF you were able to change their places (at least for me, it is impossible to do manually, never found any good equip here =\ )

With a lot of patience (and a small soldering iron) I would try to take the voice comm button off and place it where the on/off was.

For the battery, maybe someone here can point if there is a "battery charger" standalone device, or such a thing...

Good luck man :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jinxie:
hey thanks for the quick reply!

i'm not thinking of doing it myself, i'm not not that precise nor is my solder, but i know a guy, same dude that fixed my usb. I like that idea more than the other, but i guess that remapping the screen on/off and using the soft reset button would be much safer.. i haven't made up my mind about that yet.

Weir thing about MY wiz, at least thats what i think happened to me last time my battery was completely discharged, is that not only the device must be ON for it to charge, but it needs to have WINDOWS already loaded, i know for most devices it's not like that, but i think thats how mine works, or at least thats the only explanation i could find!

btw, i love your case modding concept, and since i might have my wiz sitting for a while, i might go ahead and try something too! nothing as extreme as yours of course.. i'd love to see more updates on your project along with some guide to see what ideas i can take ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jinxie:
slight detail while thinking my options.. if i was to remap the screen on/off function to another button, would i need to have the device in sync? or connected via cable? because when i had the usb soldered, don't know how nor why (all the pins seem to be ok) but the device won't be recognized by any computer, usb only works for charging (or used to work, at least, still haven't figured why it won't charge now).

If its only an app that i can load to the phone, once i have it working (that if i ever will), i can load the app thru minisd, BT or IrDa so that would't be a problem.. i haven's investigated that issue yet.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nandobang:
Hey jinxie, how's your Wizard?

If you're still stuck with the battery (I hope not), check this out...

I think this will solve your battery problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4963547&postcount=5

That's probably to work, just be carefull with the battery's temperature. If it starts to heat, stop the process and wait it to get normal, then start again.

Good luck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jinxie:
i tried keeping the wires attached to the contacts for a while, didn't think it'd work better doing it just for a little and then repeating the process, i'll try that!

yeap, i'm still stuck and i think i will be for a while, i have to solve the battery issue first (would be useless to do anything else if i'm not certain i will get it to work), then i have to decide what i am going to do with the power button, and then i might paint it, i'm thinking matte black, or maybe take some ideas from your project if you have made any progress at the time!

thanks for the tip, i'll try it today and i let you know how it went ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jinxie:
development: phone DOES NOT turn on with the soft reset button as i thought, i was sure it did, but after jumping the bat once again, tried the wiring method (not repeating the jump start but wiring it directly to de device pins), and tried to turn it on with soft reset and dind't work, while it does turn on with the power button, wich is broken, so in order to turn it on i cannot have the phone assambled, wich means that in order to try to make it work, i will need to hold the battery attached with my hands, and it is a pain in the.. you know where.

update: i wired the charger i was using to jump start the battery to the pins in the wizard, then held the battery in place with my hand, with a small screwdriver i pushed the broken power button. wizard turned on, IT FINALLY LOADED WINDOWS, but don't rush, i then (with my MOUTH) connected the USB wall charger to the port in the phone, and removed the wiring, i was expecting the goddamn light to turn on and the screen to tell me that my phone was finally charging. I WAS WRONG. then i had to let go because my hand was killing me and it went off

and the damn thing refuses to charge! what could it be????????

2nd update: I AM MACGYVER !

i figured the wiring had given the bat enough power to load windows on its own, so tried once more holding everything together with my hand but without wiring the pins this time, and at last the amber light turned on!!! im so proud of myself lol

SO NOW: device works ok, charges ok, battery has enaugh power to load windows, WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THE BROKEN POWER BUTTON? i know you can't remap the power function since its hardware, but the screen on/off function might be remapped. soft reset button DOES not turn on the phone, is there any other way of turning it on? or my only option is to take off the voice command button and soldering it where the power button should be?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jinxie:
well, found the little button part that was missing, glued it (yes, GLUED it), and it kinda worked, i had painted the casing already, so i assembled everything back again. i used a folded piece of paper to hold the button still so it won't fall again and i think it was too big cause now its kind of hard to press but i can live with that, what i cannot live with is NO SIGNAL.. i mean, CMON!! are you kiddin me? now that the button works, battery works, phone assembled, and now this?? when i dissassembled the phone i forgot to take out the sim card, so the metal parts that hold it opened a bit, but i pressed them back, the sim in no way loose, so i guess i might have screwed the attenna :S

i've just checked, i can see the sim contacts so... [CENSORED] !!!

also now the screen looks weird.. like if it had less colours, like when you format your pc and haven's installed the graphic drivers yet, 3d effects look funny..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nandobang:
Hey man, have you painted ALL the Wizard parts, on both sides?

'Cause there is one that has a piece of copper board inside. It makes contact with the antenna. Without that contact, you'll never have signal :(

The piece I'm talking about is the one that has the camera protection, saying "1.3 MP camera". Look at its back and see if there's no paint on a green and golden plate. Remove the paint if it got there (the golden part is the important one, since it makes contact with the antenna).

Good luck man!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jinxie:
hahah lol, no of course i didn't paint both sides! but anyways im gonna take it apart again, clean it, and try again..

done. it had some paintng yes, but they were very tiny spray drops, so i don't think that is, anyway i cleaned it. On the other hand, i found that the antenna is loose on the left side :S what can i do about it?
[G1 General] Mr17:
I was wondering how to monitor network traffic (like wireshark) and output the data into a csv file on the SD card. Has anyone seen anything like this? I don't want to start developing something thats already around.

I found this video showing it being done on a beagle board: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFH55WbhCXs

I also came across this guy who posed a similar question of google groups: http://groups.google.com/group/android-internals/browse_thread/thread/160159e24510fb4f

I have a Jawbone which was paired to my HD2. When I make a phone call it works, but when I receive a call it doesn't work. Has anyone experienced this problem? Has anyone solved it?

Also, when I place the set face down it doesn't automatically switch to speaker. Is there a setting?
[HD2 General] adolfotregosa:
1 - Answer the call on the handsfree and not on the phone.

2 - It has to be on perfect horizontal position to work (if not calibrate the g-sensor)
[HD2 General] erosennin:
1- I always answer the call through the hands free but the call goes on the phone. Maybe a reset would do it.

2- Thanks didn't know that. It actually works

I just upgraded to the energy photon rom and cant get AT&T navigator to work ,i have the cab but when i install and try to run it says "the file ATT nav Cannot be opened or one of its componants cannot be found "

Any idea's

I just did the official 6.5 upgrade on my phone. I can set up my gmail and other email accounts fine, but when i try to add my @msn.com account, it skips the POP3 and SMTP setup and just opens Opera and brings me to mobile.live.com.

I had it working on the old 6.1 fine. anybody else has this problem?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] lyazide:
I always get this with all phone and ROM I used. I use the following workaround :

1. Configure your account with yourname@msx.com (same for hotmail)

2. Perform normal setup (pop is pop3.live.com and smtp is smtp.live.com)

3. After configuration edit your account and change yourname@msx.com by yourname@msn.com

4. Don't forget in the smtp page to go in advance server setup and enable SSL for incoming and outgoing email and select the correct network connection.

[HD2 General] kasperknop:
Having used the HD2 for 4 days now I thought I would like to share my everyday problems with you.

MAJOR PROBLEMS:

- MAJOR lag when opening a treaded conversation with more than just a couple of messages. Sometimes you will have to wait more than 30 seconds before you can begin typing if you have a long message history with that person.

- Opera does not support flash.

- Volume-control is very buggy and in persistent. Sometimes they control the volume other times they skip through songs.

PROBLEMS:

- Auto-capitalise doesn't work while texting

- Youtube videos cannot be opened from the youtube homepage and the application is very limited = no way to watch subscribed vidoes, channels, playlists, etc...

- The dictionary sometimes randomly turns off (not that it changes from XT9 to ABC - it just doesn't work)

- The danish dictionary is crap (common words like så(then) and på(on) are not recognized) and the eT9MyWords does not help at all (and some places the phone does not understand æøå leaving me with wierd symbols)

- Crappy syncing with gmail and google services (HTC calender can't sync with Google Calender and you are not always told when a new reply has arrived on your email)

- The msn messenger application often refuses to log me in unless I turn the phone on and off.

- I cannot change language (unofficially you can but it will leave some parts of your phone not working)

- The screen accually have a visible 2 visible grids plus dots, if you hold it in the right angle with ENOUGH LIGHT(kinda looks like your screen is scracted in a pattern) (I have spots everywhere in my appartment and on my work so this is more than a minor problem for me)

MINOR PROBLEMS:

- Camera creates images with a slight pink center-spot (try taking a picture of a white wall or paper)

- Sometimes the contacts loose their image.

- No notification light for email and sms

- No universal landscape support

- No hardkey for multitasking(switching/closing apps)

- Sometimes a small icon bug on the logscreen cutting the top of the "new messages icon"

- Doesn't seem like you can refresh the facebook contact image

- The lock screen will not take you to the new message if you slide the message icon - you will be taken to the last checked message

- There are ZERO games worth playing at the moment

Help me add more...
[HD2 General] br3nt:
email htc and let them know you're upset.. maybe they'll work faster on a new ROM :P

how is the messinging app working out for you, feel/see any sluggishness?
[HD2 General] kasperknop:
I have heard people having lag on contacts with alot of messages, but haven't been able to verify that myself since I got a new sim and stuff... Other than that I think the messaging app itself is good =)
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
When an application needs GPS it will start using the relevant COM port. The system will then enable GPS. When you stop using the port, GPS will be disabled. So it's automatic. If, for some reason, you need to turn it on without using (maybe you hate batteries and want them all to die, I don't know), this can be done programmatically, although I haven't seen an application that would do just that, without reading GPS data for some reason.
[HD2 General] ganon4:
"- The screen accually have a visible 2 visible grids plus dots, if you hold it in the right angle with ENOUGH LIGHT(kinda looks like your screen is scracted in a pattern)"

Not on all HTC HD2 models :( I don't know why some ppl have this.

Try using a spot light/architect lamp and look at the screen from different angles. I am quite sure evey single HD2 got the grid.

[HD2 General] kanesw:
Sure it wont delete them from my msn/windows live messenger?
[HD2 General] tomksoft:
Yes You can! After changing language code in registry, you need to copy some files to Windows directory. I am sure you will find more info in the main tweaks thread.

I know this phone has some problems, but I am sure they will be fixed by HTC or might XDA community.
[HD2 General] KingsGambit:
How are HD2 owners finding the battery life so far? What is your general usage (eg. calls, bluetooth, etc?)? What is the on-screen keyboard like for daily use with SMS/Email? I can't decide whether to get the HD2 or Omnia 2 and think this could be a helping factor. My previous HTC (Kaiser) had shocking battery life :-(
[HD2 General] siamchen:
mate, you will be shock again when use HD2. The battery life is far behind iPhone 3GS. It needs to be recharged every day if you want to play some games, listen music and use WIFI. Also, recommended use the OEM charger (5V 1A) other than computer USB port (which is 500mA) to charge it.

Compare to HTC TYTN II hard keyboard, the on screen is similar to iPhone which will easily make your arm sore.
[HD2 General] fadytabar:
Just go to "Windows live" software settings and change it to not synchronize contacts.

It will then automatically remove them from the phone contacts.

Hope this can help.
