[HD2 General] saulo866:
dear all

First thanks for your suggestions...

yes pinch and zoom works, in most screen displays, and therefore I can now scroll down and select the items I choose. So I am very relieved...thanks again for this syggestion (I skipped reading the manual)

However this does NOT work for the top bar, so some application won't be compatible.

For the second remark: I am slim person and my hands are very slim too, including my thumbs, so it is not a question of "size"

Thanks a lot

Saulo

I have also tried this but i seem to be able to select exactly what setting i want very easily.

A warning for people, when i first got the device i messed about with the screen settings and tried the screen alignment, this totally messed up the screen allignement and no matter what i tried i could not get it back to normal, i had to hard reset in the end for the screen to be perfect again. DO NOT try the screen alignment.
[HD2 General] Jim Coleman:
So how does using the pad of the finger work with the following apps, if any of you use them;

Pocket Informant 9.10

Cash Organizer 2008

GCzII (Geocaching)

Coreplayer

KeePass

Also interesting in how on earth you could use Excel at minimum zoom and actually still be able to select a particular cell....I even have difficulty doing that with a stylus on my TD2! Also try selecting a whole row by clicking on the left-hand row number.

I'm interested in the HD2 but I expect using the above apps will be monumentally difficult and it'll be quite a while before the developers make them capactive-screen-friendly with big chunky icons and text.

Convince me I'm wrong!
[HD2 General] Mad_Martin:
do not use that aps, but tried that excel test without any problems. then i passed the HD2 to my mom (never used a touch screen, has long nails...) and asked her to select quicly some cells i told her and then some rows. again, after figuring aout it wont work with nail, she managet to do that on first try...

pretty much, the screen is fantastic
[HD2 General] Jim Coleman:
If what you're saying is true, then the pad of the finger is more accurate than the tip of a stylus, which doesn't seem possible......if only because the finger is so big, you can't actually even see which cells you're selecting, let along position your finger accurately onto a specific cell, not at minimum zoom....unless on the HD2 minimum zoom is a lot bigger.

On my TD2, at minimum zoom, I can see cells A1 to I44 of a new sheet. That's 400 cells. My fingertip is probably 1/20th the size of the screen, so when I touch the screen I'm covering about 20 cells with my fingertip. How on Earth either I or the phone would be able to determine which cell I wanted out of those 20 is beyond me...

Did you / your mum highlight specific cells? For instance, did you say to her "Highlight cells E10 to H15"? Or did you just say "Highlight some cells"? There's a big difference.

I use spreadsheets on my phone all the time so I need to know I can control the thing properly. I'll try to find a highstreet store with an HD2 tomorrow and have a go for myself. But thanks for having a go!
[HD2 General] Mad_Martin:
i told her to highlit specific cels...

but, to ansver your question, yes, the zoom is different.

lowest possible is 50%, which is from A1:F30
[Touch GSM General] thouchee:
Hi,

I know others have this problem. My phone starts, gets through loading almost all the way, but before I can do anything, it shuts down and starts all over again. It just keeps starting, loading, shutting down, over and over again.

The only way to stop it is to remove the battery. The hard reset instructions in my manual do not work. Hold the red and green keys and press soft reset. Can I somehow interrupt the load up or get into some kind of menu or flash the phone? I cannot sync with the phone since it doesn't stay on long enough before restarting again.

Thanks
[Touch GSM General] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Try to enter the bootloader screen (tri-color screen). If you can do that without it looping on you, you can flash from there.

Follow these instructions to enter your bootloader screen.
[Touch GSM General] maccleod:
hi there another way too boot your htc elf connet it with usb start it and when start screen windows appear or start screen of your provider hold green red and on/ off up the phone keep holding the buttons till you get 'this will erase all your personal data' message, then press 'action' (big front button) to hard reset.

how can i run a program that says it requires intel xscale processor on my tp2. any tricks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Does it not run? I use tons of Xscale applications on my TP2 and Kaiser. It's essentially an ARM processor, with the same architecture as the Qualcomm MSM7xxx series.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tom12345:
it is a video surveillance progrma that connects me to my dvr. it runs fine but when the video is about to appear it promts with this message "intel xscal processor required. check minimum requirements". something having to do with the video scaling mabye?????
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kourampies:
probably uses some processor specific video rendering, much like the hardware accelerated qualcomm mode. if the company still makes it, contact them, maybe they are willing to help you since the wm market is flooded with qualcomm devices.

can someone hook it up with the gsm htc clock apk
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
come again?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
I get the impression he has a Motorola Droid, and wants the clock app from the Hero. However, since it's a widget, I'm not certain its as easy as just loading an APK, plus I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't be condoning running HTC apps on Motorola devices (and vice versa) as we may end up with another Cyanogen/Google like take down notice.

Regards,

Dave

EDIT: After posting this, I notice that the OP has a Sprint Hero. Surely the clock is exactly the same???
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 702DROID:
yes i do have the sprint hero but the gsm hero clock is dif then the cdma flip clock (gsm has the flip animation cdma doesnt) want to fig out how i can get the flip animation on my cdma hero
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
afaik the flip animation is in an older version of the clock. the last modaco roms didn' have it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 702DROID:
would like to see if it can be put on the cdma hero either way
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
this is from mcr2.9, rename to .apk.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 702DROID:
THANKS does that one have the animation?????
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 702DROID:
please excuse my noob questions do i extract then remane the folder or rename the .zip to .apk im still learning all this
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
like i said modacos latest rom don't have the animation. you rename the file from HtcClockWidget.zip to HtcClockWidget.apk , the forum does not allow upload of .apk files.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 702DROID:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] SummonerOfDeath:
htc clock widget only works with sense framework. no sense, no clock widget, thats how simple it is. and no, you cant install it on cyanogen, as this has no Sense.

If u want the widget with animation, download SalsaSense RC2 over from dev forums. you can play around with that, but i cant guarantee that it will work for you. furthermore, there is in this

Hi is there any other roms out for the hero other than MoDaCo? thanks:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Just have patience. The phone has only been rooted for a week. It took much longer for any rom other than JF to come out for the Dream. Then Haykuro, Drizzy, Cyanogen and all the rest started making their roms. It's been a year since the Dream came out. We just have to wait for ours. And, like me, I am sure there are many users out there silently learning all they can about porting over roms and eventually making new custom roms so just be patient. We will get ours too.

Using autosign in Win7 and get an error about Java not being an internal or external command. How can one resolve this?

From the sounds of it either you dont have java installed or its path not set on your pc.

Looks like everything is setup properly. I even tried reinstalling Java. Still getting the same error. Im stumped.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sitimber:
ok i was getting lots of errors

go to system properties (windows key+pause break shortcut)

then advanced then choose enviroment variables

then classpath click and edit

make sure the path goes directly to the testsign.jar mine is ;.;C:\Users\SI\Desktop\AutoSign\testsign.jar

the select path and edit same again this one goes to your autosign folder

mine is ;.;C:\Users\SI\Desktop\AutoSign

also download Auto-Sign v0.65(do a search)unrar

put your .zip rom in folder named as update.zip

select autosign.exe select update.zip from drop down and click autosign

hope this helps
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ejohnson0547:
Make sure "java.exe" is in your PATH evironment variable.

Open a command prompt and type "java.exe"

If it says 'java.exe' is not recognized ....

Then you have not set your PATH environment correctly.

I found a easier alternative to using autosign.bat for signing files.

You still need the file "testsign.jar" but you don't have to modify your CLASSPATH environment variable.

Just make sure the testsign.bat and testsign.jar are together in a directory that is also in your path.

Just copy the following code to a batch file named "testsign.bat":

@echo off

if "%1"=="" goto usage
if not exist "%1" goto notfound

ECHO.
ECHO **************
ECHO Signing File!
ECHO **************
ECHO.
java -classpath "%~dp0testsign.jar" testsign %1
ECHO.
ECHO File signed successfully if no Errors above.
ECHO.
goto end

:notfound
echo.
echo Error, File not found "%1"
echo.
goto end

:usage
echo.
echo Error in script usage. The correct usage is:
echo	%0 [FileToSign.zip]
echo.
echo You may also simply drag and drop a file onto this batch file in Windows Explorer.
echo.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] izanagi:
wow dude,

instructions worked great on Win7

i was able to download the missing usb_drivers by running SDK Setup in C:\android-sdk-windows, and selecting the usb driver from the available packages. I was unable to download the index for the SDK Setup program until I enabled "force http://" in the settings menu.

had to copy over asroot again after i ran SDK Setup (that program deleted it from the directory)

your instructions worked like a charm. total time spent rooting this thing after finding your post: 18 minutes.

(you might want to add a line there in the "mount and copy over the zip file step" to backup the nandroid folder from your SDCard to your comp just as a backup of your stock phone image)

anyway.. cheers!

Heh, thanks for the misspell heads up. I did my rooting from Win7 pc; it automatically installed correct drivers for me. To check go to the Control Panel>View devices and printers. You see one device named "Android Phone". Otherwise as far as Ive heard installing HTC Sync installs proper drivers.

When I go to apply the rom I get an white screen with skateboarding androids on the bottom and the prompt to erase data yes/no. I press the home key and the Hero reboots without asking to "Apply sdcard:choose zip". This is done from the boot menu. Does the rom load automatically? Did I do something wrong? I got root with no problem. A tip; to make it easier and to avoid spelling mistakes copy and paste the rooting commands from the instructions. Made it go faster too. Thanks in advance.

turn off your phone

take out sd card

turn on phone

uninstall app

turn off phone

put in sd card

turn on phone

reinstall app

Hello,

due to unforeseen circumstances I have to return my G1 to T-Mobile tomorrow so I unrooted from Hero MghtyMax. I flashed a unrooted 1.0 UK DREAIMG.nbh and waited for a OTA update from T-Mobile Germany.

When I got up this morning my G1 asked me to update and I let it do it's thing, however the firmware I have now seems very strange:

Firmware version: 1.6

Baseband version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I

Kernel version: v2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 android-build@apa26 #19

Build number: DRC83

the only languages I have available are English and Spanish...

Is there any way to get German back in there? I fear I will get problems if the guys boot the phone up and possible try to set it to German but simply can't.

I've had the imagio for about 2 weeks not. and can't get the GPS to work. I've tried every reg edit I can't find. Tried useing GPSID.dll rather then GPSID_HTC.dll. I tried installing the GPSModDrivers. Ran QuickGPS. Done Hard resets and half a dozen flashes. Nothing. The only program that works in Verizon's VZ Nav. TomTom, Google maps, Bing never get any sat lock. I'd say it was my phone but my dad's and the floor model at our Verizon store all have the same problems. The guy at Verizon said it was an issue with a lot of them and HTC was working on an updated rom for it. But that could be crap. Any ideas?

Just wondering...

Start/Settings/System/External GPS on Access tab, did you marked

"Manage GPS atomatically (recommended)

If you don't do this, have you tried setting the Com Port Manually? I have a felling that if VZ works that is just a configuration issue.

As a last resource, you could use a terminal program like Token2Shell Mobile (free 30 Trial) to read the Com port "Usually Com4" and 4800 Baud and check the NMEA string coming in, here is a example from mine.

[Imagio General] Sweeny Russ:
Sorry for the double post working from device.
[Imagio General] Sweeny Russ:
Keep in mind that some of the things you may have installed to correct the issue may have negatively affect registry settings, sync your contacts and do a hard reset on the device. And do not set up VZ nav when you bring it up.

Then do this:

Install Google maps

Make Sure your Location Setting is "on" in the phone settings. If it is on then toggle it to "911" hit okay on upper right corner then go back into it and toggle it back on and hit okay.

Soft Reset and let boat up completely

Open Google Maps And make sure USE GPS is not checked.

Click "X" in top corner to let it run in the background

Run Quick GPS and select "Download"

Open Google Maps again and select "USE GPS" make sure you have a clear view of the sky and it should take less than one minute to lock

Sometimes a soft reset is required to get a gps lock.

Actually, It is a known issue with the particular gpsone chipset. It's an issue with location caching with agps, but this phone comes stock with agps disabled. However, I have not heard that many complaints on this forum, of course not everybody uses gps. If you soft reset before you try and use you shouldn't have issues. Trust me this is my third HTC touch series phone with this issue (diamond, touch pro, imagio). With my imagio it suddenly stopped having this issue, wierd. I used to use a program called HTC gps tool on my touch pro that would clear the cache for you without having to soft reset each time you might want to do some searching, not sure if it works with wvga screens.
