[HD2 General] DMAND:
Thanks for the vid yrreP, so they basically added a default crappy wallpaper :p

Im still undecided as to whether to wait for them to hurry up and release it or go for a SIM free one and stick on Simplicity
[HD2 General] naim khan:
Hi DMAND, I was thinking exactly what you are thinking.

I am with Orange and thought I'll go over to O2 when my contract ends in March. However, I have looked at their tariffs and there doesn't seem to be any data allowance. I have therefore just ordered sim free from Expansys. My current data allowance is 500GB but I was looking at Vodafone Sim only contract -- £20/month with unlimited data.

Having never been with Vodafone, can anyone tell me what their service and coverage is like?
[HD2 General] nicelad_uk:
Think about it this way, like the Touch HD, you will get more or less your money back with this when selling on ebay. I bought my Touch HD for £330 about 6 months ago and sold it 2 months ago for £320, not bad I thought.

This will be the same, so although its a lot to shell out, think of the resell value, I can't see it going down that much, unless you damage it.
[HD2 General] chris10230:
Awesome well a wallpaper is easy to change

But also if you dont mind me asking tell me that the lag you see if from mymoblier?? or whatever you used to make the vid not the actual phone itself?

If not uh oh!
[HD2 General] benko286:
Anybody knows where can i get that startmenu wallpaper?
[HD2 General] yrreP:
It's the application I used to make the video that is laggy.. the device itself is beautifully quick and smooth.

I flashed the Voda, T-Mo, o2 and stock ROM's and they are all ace!
[HD2 General] xmoo:
I am not using one, have the phone 3 days now. No scratches, I put it in the puch that it came with!

Already had that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJgSLuUAmeg

V7.910

Igo worked directly, using same config as I had on the Touch HD.

No sample video here, but I know zooming etc works in some cases.

This has been asked already, and yes you can disable it!
[HD2 General] xmoo:
Testes Handfree in car.

Can confirm that it did work good.

Teste Handsfree with bluetooth headset.

Did work good aswell.

Tried GPS with TomTom7.

Fix was very fast.

12 Satelites, and my car's gps had just 8.

There is LAG people. The pointer doesn't slide trough the map, but goes part by part.
[HD2 General] Zepiii:
What about the APN in middle darkness condition & high darkness condition?

Is it still **** as for the HD1 ?

Thank you !
[HD2 General] xmoo:
Explain more plz.
[HD2 General] indup:
hello i just wanted to ask regarding sound through the phone speaker. how bad is it exactly? i tend to listen to audio lectures (spoken word not music) and was wondering would it be ok for this. i had the touch hd and it was ok in this regard but obviously nowhere near asgood as a nokia/se/samsung.

how does the hd2 sound, does it sound very tinny with distortion at high volumes??
[HD2 General] hrcro:
Is that because of TomTom (software) or the problem is with the device (hardware)? Does same thing happens with Igo8?
[HD2 General] xmoo:
The voice quality is good, music is good aswell. But most of my songs are high eq'd.

So whe having high eq + high volume on the hd2, makes to music sound ****!!!
[HD2 General] xmoo:
Dunno why. Nope havn't tested Igo.

Gonna test it tomorrow or tuesday.

I'm go for a sleep now. got a exam 2morrow.

After that helpdesk will be open.

Good night all

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] elite-fusion:
Hello, is there an Official 6.5 rom from HTC without any added software or anything?

and if not, then what is the best and fastest 6.5 cooked rom out there?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tramline:
Thats exactly what I was looking for as well.

Just 6.5 with no extra apps, fast as you like and all the HTC skinnage!

Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Schooleydoo:
WM6.5 will not be released by HTC for the HD.

Therefore any 6.5 ROM for the HD must be cooked, however minimalist.

Try this... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=578338&highlight=vanilla
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you had done a bit of research beforehand you would have realised that HTC aren't releasing wm6.5 officially for the HD, so you won't be getting it.

However search these forums and you'll find lite roms as other people have requested this!! I see one link has been provided above.

Also to ask for best cooked rom is an opinionated query which is generally frowned upon in XDA as it created endless long threads with no solution because everyone has different opinions!!

[HD2 General] Noam23:
The following test will prove if the screen is capacitive or resistive:

Is it possible to touch the screen light enough so it won't register a click ?, if this is possible the screen is resistive (with capacitive this is impossible, since once your skin comes in contact with the screen, a click will be registered, it has nothing to do with pressure).
[HD2 General] xmoo:
Nope, on the lightes click the screen recognizes it.
[HD2 General] Noam23:
Cool, it's capacitive then ! :)
[HD2 General] 20mihalko:
i hated it first few hours... typing was impossible for me :D thanks god it has changed :)
[HD2 General] Noam23:
What exactly did you hate ?, the moment I got an iPhone to my hands, typing text was WAY easier than on my HD. When the screen registers 100% of the clicks (and not just 95%), it can only be for the good.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Nah, it takes me quite a lot of time to get used to the iPhone screen for typing. I make tons of errors at first.
[HD2 General] Noam23:
If you are using just your fingers in both cases, I can't imagine what will make the iphone more error prone than typing on a resistive screen... you don't make much sense sorry.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Mate, the specs have said for a while that the screen is capacitive.
[HD2 General] turt:
Ahem, what was not clear enough in the official specs where it's clearly written "Capacitive touch screen"? :o

Anyway, a much better test (to know if it was indeed capacitive) would have been to wear gloves and try using the phone with the gloves :D
[HD2 General] br3nt:
why not just take any item (maybe a stylus from former HTC devices) and try? :P
[HD2 General] Noam23:
People were raising claims that you can still see dots on the HD2 screen (when it's off), hence it's still resistive. Those same people claim that the HD2 is "Multitouch Resistive", and that HTC called it Capacitive because of the multitouch capability.
[HD2 General] turt:
Well, what can you do about ignorant people, except ignore the crap they say... :o
[HD2 General] lude219:
I'm no capacitive/resistive screen expert, but those are the dots people are talking about. Maybe it's a new kind of capacitive screen? In any case, if HTC themselves said that it's capacitive then it's capacitive :)
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Guys, am I missing something? HTC have said the screen is capacitive which should be enough.

Whether it's a new type of capacitive screen or not has to be irrelevant. What is of relevance is the way the screen behaves.

For me if the screen acts like a capacitive screen, is quick/responsive, and is a significant improvement on the screen I currently use then that's fine by me.

Like I said, am I missing something?

Cheers

WB
[HD2 General] Benjiro:
Are people still debating if the screen if capacitive or not.

Again. Its Capacitive. Its been tested by several people who have HD2's, including myself, and the screen only responds on human skin contact. Try other stuff, and no responds.

Besides, a Resistive touchscreen will have a feedback when you press on it. This screen feels like some sort off glass ( and does not go down ).

The responds to the touch is amazing when compared to a x50v ( resistive touchscreen ). You don't press on it, you swipe the screen.

Typing is very light, because you don't need to press down to register any "clicks". I'm actually typing way faster then on my old x50v, including stylus typing. With the x50v, you had times when you press to soft, that the action will not be registered. On the HD2, every press is perfectly registered.

I fear before, that the keyboard with no stylus might be bad, but the full keyboard is even easy to type ( you don't need to switch to the limited key layouts ), and so soft to do.

Its like stroking a women :D My GF was actually asking if i love her more then the HD2 ... hmmm, i did not answer ;)
[HD2 General] xmoo:
I tried to paint it real good.

This is the structure of the screen.

You have these side boxes with 4 of those dots in it.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
If we can get a conductive stylus, then we could use a stylus on it I think.

I will experiment when I get an HD2, and see what I can do at uni. Maybe something like a copper stylus, with a rounded edge, so as not to damage the screen?
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
Wow this is starting to get worse than the moon landing conspiracy nuts.

How many times does this have to be confirmed? Sheesh...
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Lol. I was merely speculating there about what could be done. As all you need is something conductive.

Found some silver conductive paint on Maplin. I'm going to give it a go :D
[HD2 General] shagratt:
I can confirm that too. The experience is very diferent, cause in resistive screens you can move your fingers too close too the screen without pulling them up, and then press over the right key... with capacitive this will make lots of mistakes
[HD2 General] mskip:
You can buy capacitive styluses from ebay for next to nothing. I bought a few to test and it works fine on my ipod touch. Not really much point in day to day use but good for writing notes or drawing.
[HD2 General] GaZ:
Does this mean it's heat sensitive rather than pressure? ie: no stylus??? :(
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Yeah, I know this. But most of those styluses don't look very accurate. They have to be conductive to work on a capacitive screen. That's why I was thinking of testing a normal stylus painted with silver conductive paint.

This might work, and give you a very accurate and precise capacitive stylus.
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
Now heat sensitive???............ It gets worse.......

MAYBE IT IS FISH SENSITIVE!! QUICK SOMEONE TEST IT WITH A FISH!!! HTC ARE LIARS WHEN THEY SAY IT'S CAPACITIVE!!!!

It might work. certainly the capacitive screen on my TV remote, so long as there is a conductive path between the screen and your finger.

E.g. holding screwdriver by the plastic bit against the screen - nothing. Press metal bit of screwdriver - touch registered without moving the screwdriver.

The biggest concerns I'd have with a metal-painted stylus is scratching the screen, and how quickly the metal paint would chip/rub off.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Well yeah. That would also be a concern. Let me show you what I was thinking of using:

This paint here

It's conductive silver paint, used to repair PCB tracks etc. It should help at least, as the stylus simply has to complete the connection between your finger and the screen.

As it can be used to make conductive tracks on a non-conductive surface, this should in theory, do the trick.

I might ask some of my lecturers at uni (I'm an electronic engineering student) if they can think of anything else that would work, and not damage the screen.
[HD2 General] mskip:
Yeah I REALLY wouldnt want to be rubbing a painted stylus on my new £500 phone LOL. Might as well just let my 2 year old son go at it with a paintbrush and a screwdriver :P

The capacitive styluses available have a conductive flat rubber tip about 5mm diameter which does give a more accurate selection than using your finger and works very well and no chance at all of scratching the screen.
[HD2 General] mskip:
I know that conductive paint well I have used it many times as I used to design circuit boards for the displays in fruit machines. Its a bit blobby and I dont think it would create a hard enough coating to withstand contstant movement on a glass screen. I paid £1.20 for 2 conductive styluses on ebay I think they would be a much safer bet and alot less hastle for you lol ;)
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Yeah. That is my other concern. I emailed one of my lecturers about the subject. He is going to think I am mental!

I did stress it couldn't damage the screen or anything. I am more doing this as a personal thing, I just want to know if it's possible, to use a small stylus that is conductive on the screen to operate it.

Will be interesting to see what he says ^^
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Yeah. I want to find a conductive stylus on eBay, that has quite a small tip. Would love to have one that is fairly exact.
[HD2 General] mskip:
They all seem to have flat round tips I guess the conductive rubber has to have a certain area touching the screen to make it conductive. I tried using just an edge and it doesnt accept it. You could try buying a few and use a surgical scalpel to trim the end down to make it more rounded and precise. Just keep trimming it down and testing it to see how small you can make the tip until it stops responding. They cost next to nothing so you can do plenty of testing.

I think I will try it later I have some surgical blades laying around :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] madindehead:
That's a good idea mate. Well suggested. Will have a look on eBay next week, and see what I can find ^^

Thanks for the idea
[HD2 General] suicidal.banana:
i must say, it does seem to feel pressure somehow, in resco explorer (2010) if i

very lightly

swipe my finger over some files it actually selects them, instead of scrolls.
[HD2 General] mskip:
Its definitely a capacitive screen..

I have resco explorer and it works great i ntouchscreen mode. Swipe on the left side to select multiple files or swipe on the right side to scroll. Took a few minutes to figure that out but now its perfect :)

The conclusive way to check between resistive and capacitive screens is to use a plastic stylus or something like a pen with the lid on, anything non conductive. If its a capacitive screen then it wont register anything if its resitive then it will but I can assure you the HD2 is a capacitive screen.
[HD2 General] kholk:
Definitively CAPACITIVE, and you don't need to test it.

The HTC HD2 screen is made of tempered glass and resistive screens are made of plastic because plastic is flexible.
[HD2 General] mskip:
I dont even know why people are still debating whether its resisitive or capacitive its like looking at an elephant and saying "are you sure its not a goat?" :rolleyes:

Its stated in the specs.. can a mod please close this thread it serves no purpose anymore :)
[HD2 General] aiwama:
I got confused at first when I saw this thread... What on earth are this guys talking about! For goodness sake! What else do you need to know before you are sure the HD2 has a capacitive screen? Hundreds of videos, reviews, your own mobile phones and you are still puzzled! C'mon guys, is this a joke!? Get a life :D

This phone was used a few years ago and I now wish to give it to my girlfriend. When the phones were in use, they began to reveal some problems. Not connecting to ANYTHING, not even a usb charger of any type (over 10 diffrent cables). I recently bought a cradle and charged the battery until it was full. I plug it into the Apache...nothing. I remove the battery and plug it into 3 different usb ports, hoping i would see a red light (an ac charger, a wall charger, and a standard mini usb cord). Nothing either, so I know it isnt the battery, but the Apache itself? :confused::mad::confused:

Hi all,

I have a Magic 32b and recently put the Modaco_custom_1_51 rom on, with the Amon Ra's recovery image (as recommended on unlockr)

It was working ok, not great, a bit slow and mms wouldnt work, so...

I decided to change the rom, unfortunately I was in a bit of a rush and I kind of forgot what I was doing...

I went straight to the Recovery mode and clicked 'part sd: fat32+ext2+swap'

Then I put the new rom on using usb storage mode, I clicked on applied update.zip and of course it wouldnt work (all without applying any recovery image when the phone was working and wiping first), I rebooted the phone and now after the vodafone image I just get a blank black screen...

I then woke up and realised what i'd done.

I have tried searching what to do when this happens but I couldnt find anything... I've never used abd or commands and dont really know how the commands work... I just flashed and applied the rom using the 'one click' method on unlockr.

I dont think its bricked... I can boot in Recovery and fastboot...

I would appreciate any help you can give, theres propably a simple way to do it (well simple for you guys) but I just cant work it out, if anyone can give me some instructions it would be really grateful.

Im new here so take it easy on me

I got no reply when I asked before so I'd really like someone to help

3. right click put saftly remove. once done that click on Storage off on ur Ra' Recovery

4. Then Click reboot, and press home button once ur screen goes black. u'll go back to ur recovery Images and u should have the things there, and if u dont then u know what that means ur SD card is fried. :)

This is what I done..

(Remember I cant get into the phone to do anything)

-Booted phone into recovery

-Wiped data

-Part sd card fat32+ext2+swap

-Took sd card out, put new rom on

-Put sd card back in

-Wiped again for safety

-Applied update.zip

-Rebooted phone and then...

Went past vodafone screen and stuck on Black screen again....

What am I doing wrong?

Is there some incompatibility when it comes to Bluetooth and calls?

I've had 3 different carkits in the meantime:

Nokia Bluetooth Carkit CK-1W

Volkswagen RNS 300 (Builtin Carkit)

Toyota TNS510 (Builtin Carkit)

Both the Nokia and Toyota carkit don't seem to work flawlessly with my Elfin. On the Nokia carkit the volume of both the other end and the recording of my voice are very low, resulting in almost being unable to have a conversation.

Surprisingly enough, the VW RNS 300 carkit did work correctly and I could have normal phonecalls.

Now with the Toyota TNS510 which came with my new car I got one week ago, I can hear the other end perfectly. However, the person whom I'm calling, doesn't hear

anything

Is there someone else who has this experience? Perhaps there is some advanced setting/tweak I need to set? Had a look at the tool Advanced Config and tried something once, but I simply have no idea.
