[Touch HD General] noofny:
Well I decided to give it a go and upgraded last night to the latest 1.17.25.09 so will post back here with results. It certainly is a very easy and quick process once you understand the USPL process and have already stuffed around with custom ROMs.

I bought a standard unlocked stock T8282 from some Aussie online store (which means it would have come straight from Hong Kong), paid little extra for extended warranty (recommended). Dunno what you mean by 'legit' lol...I'm strongly against the big telcos and the scams they pull making people pay more for a device that has limited functionality and usually locked down and defecated with their corporate logos and ****e. When you want a device, you buy the device. A telco is a service provider of a network service, not a hardware supplier or software house or device tweaker. If you cant afford the device, put it on a credit card and pay a bank off instead of a telco and just get a pre-paid account. In AUS the telcos try and charge unaware peeps $70 and more just to unkock a phone they have locked themselves. Those 'plans' end up costing people over $2000 after 2 years...stoopid. End rant...
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
Ok i noticed when the phone is locked, any press of any key on the front activates the screen light, now when the phone is in my pocket will thid be happening all the time, or will the proximity sensor stop the light from activating?
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
It will activate anytime a button is pressed.
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
Yeah thats what i said already, but you didnt answer the question about the proximity sensor?
[HD2 General] ardsar:
I think he did....

The light will activate when a button is pressed even when in your pocket.
[HD2 General] Lars C:
As far as i know, the proximity sensor only works when being on the phone and not when device is using other apps or is locked....
[HD2 General] alfakilocharlie:
The proximity sensor will only turn off the screen/backlight when you are in a call. It will not turn off the screen/backlight if any buttons are pressed while keylocked in your pocket.
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
thats just lame!
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
No it's actually not that lame. Proximity sensor that's always on will be draining your battery.
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
No so much as pressing the bloody backlight every 2 mins, will need a fix for that, crap.
[HD2 General] NetDwarf:
I think its a nice idea. Im very sure the proximity sensor doesnt drain that much power so you can use it to manage the backlight when in pocket.
[HD2 General] d3l1:
on the one hand it would be nice to use that sensor to keep the backlight off while in pocket, but I can't really say I had that problem. When I put my HD2 in the pouch it only turned on the backlight when I pressed the buttons. I can't say it happened while it was in my pocket, every time I took it out of my pocket the backlight was off.
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
Just cus it was off when you took it out, dont mean you were not activating it on occasions, you cant see it can you?
[HD2 General] sharpey:
with your attitude i`ll be suprised if people keep answering you.
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
I don't know what you're doing pressing things in your pocket for every 2 minutes, but I suspect that if you get caught doing it in public you'll risk getting arrested.

If it's such a world-shaking problem, write a program to do it yourself, it should be pretty simple. Chop chop.
[HD2 General] mrturq:
ha!ha!

ha!ha!
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
Unhelpful but amusing...
[HD2 General] madindehead:
I am surprised that you are pressing the buttons all the time in your pocket. If the phone is locked (ie press the hang up key once) the screen goes off, and if I touch the screen it doesn't come back on. I have to press a button. Those need a little press to them, so surely not something your leg is doing when the phone is in your pocket. Unless you wear skin tight jeans or something...
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
3D witch hunt started, forget it....
[HD2 General] leek:
Yeah, I don't know what their problem is with this question.

It is very easy for the buttons to be pressed while the phone is in your pocket, especially when it is held tightly in the leather case -- any depression along the case will press buttons that are already tightly packed inside the case. This can happen without your hands coming close to your pocket -- it can happen just from the phone shifting in your pocket while you sit up or down, or from your pocket bumping up against a wall or piece of furniture.

There also seems to be a problem with the backlight not turning off automatically until the PIN is entered. So if you accidentally press any button, such as by sitting down and shifting the phone in your pocket, the phone's backlight will stay on forever until you either press the power button or enter the PIN.

Until this issue is fixed, the HD2 is basically useless as a phone for me -- battery life is 4-5 hours max.
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
Just dicks i guess, obviously their opinion is a better one.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
The proximity sensor solution won't solve the battery drain problem - enabling it in standby won't be enough, you'll need an application polling it all the time, and beside using CPU cycles for that purpose you'll need to prevent device from sleeping, using unattended mode instead.

So the solution has to be related to disabling wakeup on any button, which seems to be not that easy - HTC seem to have made a very quirky implementation of hardware key driver, most probably we have to "thank" the combined End/Power key for that.
[HD2 General] isangelous:
Im a bit confused by your answer there. Why do you need to poll all the time? Surely you just detect the device wakeup, check proximity couple of times and turn off the display if in pocket. If proximity is not detected then the program can go back idle waiting for the next wakeup (or closed if the program is launched on wakeup).

And you dont need to hold the device in unattended mode (after all, if the device suspends while we are checking that is fine - its what we wanted anyway - you just need to have the app aware of it so it doesnt turn the backlight off as soon as the device comes out of suspend)

I cant help with this project myself. However, I do think this is an attainable goal. The only hard bit is the proximity - I looked into it when this thread opened and struggled to find any details on how to use that sensor, only details on how to use the light sensor for the same purpose.

Edit: I should add that, if the proximity sensor is hard to use (although im sure someone will figure it out) you could perhaps use an alternate like the light sensor detects dark, and the accelerometer says the device is upside down... I dont think the light sensor on its own is no good as they arnt sensitive enough.
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
I have no real interest in helping jrvenge with this ???

Then don`t post here, i was just defending myself from trolls like you, i cant understand people like you that enter a thread and start talking about things that have nothing to do with the topic. I have no interest in your opinion of me, an i certainly have no interest in you.

My last comment was to that weirdo sharpie, who pointed out that i said, "how do you know the phone is not on if its in your pocket and cant see it"

He highlighted that comment as something strange, cant understand why as it seems like a perfectly good question to me, then followed the barrage of crap that came afterwords. Hence my comment diks.

This thread may as well be closed as its obviously a FIREY subject this button thing.

Sweet baby jesus what next.
[HD2 General] parasexas:
i agree with that. i even posted a thread for fix to disable all hardware key exept power button. like i and all others had on older devices like tyntII or diamond or touch pro. this only one solution. unfurtunatly theres not much help from me doing that as i'm biker/skydiver-not programer! :) :)
[HD2 General] pckshd:
Well you can replace the WM lock by any other more advanced screen lock. PocketShield for example has an option to auto power off after X seconds if turned on accidentally and not unlocked within that time no matter if screen continues being touched, to face this situations precisely. The latest RC has been tested on HD2 and running very smooth (http://forums.jdbp.mobi/phorum/read.php?3,5874,page=1)
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
Hmm not what im looking for, but thanks.
[HD2 General] Kamakazikev24:
good point, it just sits in my pocket glowing and wasting its battery life! I wish it had a lock button on the top instead. a fix for this, maybe just limiting the backlight coming on with only the unlock button being pressed and ignoring all others?
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
Yeah i went to get a takeaway tonight, and every time i pulled the phone out of my pocket, the damn light is on.
[HD2 General] leek:
I know the feeling :mad:

Has anyone tried S2U2 and does it help at all? (I honestly don't know.)

BTW, I know they're maddening, but try hard not to feed the trolls by reacting to them. Just ignore them.

(Now trying an Omnia II, for what it's stinking worth. Eventually might go back to a Touch HD.)
[HD2 General] teckhwee:
I've tried s2u2. it works great but theres a bug which is a big draw back for me. if you are playing music via the touchflow/sense player, when phone is locked and you recieve a call, after the call ends, music does continue and the phone goes back to lock position, but after the music ends, it will NOT go to the next track and will pause at the next track. Have no idea why is that.

And when ever you are playing music, sometimes when u lock the phone, there will be a slight pause 1 second after phone is locked. dunno why.

Will try pocket shield.
[HD2 General] Xeon:
Sensor to turn off the screen even when not making calls is a bad idea because you will not be able to access the start menu ( try making a call and pressing start the screen will turn off before you manage to )

The idea of the hangup/power button is really a step back.. the screen is always on inside the pouch. And when using the ear/microphone during phone calls If I need to turn off the screen I can't, it will hang up !! I need to wait for the device to suspend the screen.. absolutely crap..
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
Hi, i have added some custom sounds to the phone so i can add them to whatever i want, where do i put them, so they will appear in the selection list, but not in the music player?

i am going to get a x2 but i dnt know whether the r1a rom in seus or not..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jasonkwh:
changed question....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ultrashot:
1) I think yes, but little later.

2) SE usually uploads first firmwares to SEUS, for example,

U1 (Satio) has two firmwares now

U1 R1BB041/R1B017 - it was first commercially available as I remember

U1 R1BC001/R1B017

same for W580 (one of my old phones):

W580 R6BC002 - the first for this phone. Stable.

W580 R8BA024

W580 R8BE001

it is current state.

X1 now has:

X1 PocketPC R1AA020 //funny thing that they uploaded R1 recently,

X1 PocketPC R1AA021 //they are customized for SFR (don't know what is it :D) and TELSTRA

X1 PocketPC R2AA008 //GENERIC_PT

X1 PocketPC R3AA007 //There are so many R3 because they have GENERIC and also customized roms for operators

X1 PocketPC R3AA009

X1 PocketPC R3AA010

X1 PocketPC R3AA011

X1 PocketPC R3AA012

X1 PocketPC R3AA013

X1 PocketPC R3AA014

X1 PocketPC R3BA015

So after some time they delete bad or unstable ROMs like R1 for X1. I am 99% sure that all R1 were there.

I hope they will upload R1 for X2 soon.

I think I mentioned this before.

Outside in the sunlight, the Jade is almost unuseable. Can't see any text on the screen. Can hardly see the clock hands. My wife laughs at me - she has an old $50 Nokia with mono LCD display.

I tried auto setting and manual maximum - no difference. The colour LCD screens aren't simply up to it.

I think the factory theme or whatever it is called contributes to it.

Can anybody please suggest a visually pleasing, yet practical interface with high contrast icons etc to be used outdoors?? Something similar to the iPhone, perhaps??

[Touch 3G General] Chris1507:
I don´t think everywhere can help you to solve this problem, except you take a look at the Powermanagement in your Device, turn the backlight to full brightness, that´s all u can do.

Or you must buy a Device with a Transreflektive Display, this Display are reduce the power that need the Display and looks like better if the Sun shine on it.

for example I have seen at a german side this test of devices with a Transreflektiv Display, an the Dev. are followed :

Asus MyPal A730W , Dell Axim X3i , Dell Axim X30 , Fujitsu-Siemens Pocket LOOX 610 , Hewlett-Packard iPAQ H5550 und Toshiba Pocket PC e800 WiFi.

But to the ASUS Devices, I thinke they all are have a Transreflektive Display, I had a ASUS P525 and they have this Display and works perfekt (u can look clearly all) as the Sun shine on it.

I hope this helps

It was 36 degrees today and nothing but sunshine here in Australia as I checked my email and I watched the cricket outdoors ... No problem with the reading display with the brightness set to "Auto" and the default WinMo 6.5 theme!

I did, however, have a problem reading my display previously when I used the supplied HTC protector, but I replaced it with one from eBay about a fortnight ago and it's been perfect and crystal clear ever since! :D

Could it be your screen protector?
[Touch 3G General] jfranek:
Chris - it looks like the transreflective displays are the way to go, but that means buying a new smart phone. No chance of that for few years for me.

spooky - I am buying a non-reflective screenprotector and hope that will help a little.

[Touch HD General] maschenkeveld:
Hi All,

Since a few weeks my Blackstone stopped recognizing my Micro SD card. I can access the card on my computer using a USB-SD adapter. I've allready tried the following:

- Try another SD Card (formatted FAT32 default allocation size)

- Flash HardSPL again

- Different ROMS (Miri, EnergyRom, Sh3lby, and serveral others)

- Thickening the card using several layers of tape

I can remember that a few releases ago, the Miri rom did not recognize the card while the EnergyRom did. Currently no rom recognizes the card.

Does anyone recognize this problem, is it a software problem or is it back to the GSM Shop again...

Thanks in advance.

Maarten

Help :(

seemed to have killed the battery on my HP614c ->

battery was at lowest point ( ie last bar) but had check my email for something urgent so i hooked the HP614c up to my laptop and used internet sharing,

the power from the usb was keeping the fone alive - phone tried to switch off about 5 times but usb power was keeping it from doing so, eventually the phone auto powered off but by that time the battery was left with no charge in it what so ever !!

If i start in sd loader the charging light comes on (ie it seems to be charging the battery then), but when phone is off or if phone is switched on in normal mode, the battery does not charge at all - i think I have killed the battery totally. If i switch the phone on the charging light would come on but there is not enough power in the battery to be on for more than one second .

Is there any other mode like bootloader that will enable me to only charge the battery up ?

or does it look like I have to buy another one :(

[Sable] bungle2k3:
ok , strange one ...

got another hp 614c handset, but both batteries charge on the new fone

(so it wasnt the battery)

basically on the old phone what happened is that when the battery was at its lowest , i connected it to internet sharing via usb port

( it kept trying to turn off but stayed on - which i though was due to usb power keeping it alive ) - that was the last time the phone was able to ''charge''... it was charging perfectly before that.

so i 2nd presumed i had damaged the usb part of the old phone

however when i connect it to usb the phone connects via active sync perfectly and as a storage device ! it is fully operational apart from charging of the battery ?

surely if the usb port was damaged it would not connect via active sync etc ?

I am confused ..

anyone shed any light on this?

Solution (for me anyway) for battery problems

Hi!

I had this problem some time ago.

If you use 220v charger connected to the phone, the red light will probably be on.

Try to take out the battery. Connect the phone to your charger (without battery in it) and wait for the light to go green. Then put back your battery and wait.

If this doesn't work, you can use an external charger.

I had this problem 3 times. This fixed it every time for me.
