I guess, but I'd still like to increase the degree of zooming when pinching. That's why I asked how to increase it and not if there were other ways to zoom in. But thanks anyway. :o
[HD2 General] hussan882:
There is a reg tweak to allow you to click on links in non-zoom, that may help? Its in the sticky at the top of the page.
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
That would be this:
[HD2 General] KrewCial:
Thanks both of you. I did know about that particular tweak, though I probably should have been more clear regarding my problem. Zooming in on a link was merely an example. When zooming in, I generally like pinch zooming better than double tapping; it is more precise and you yourself can choose the degree of zooming. However, I'd like to able to get the zooming just right with only one pinch instead of multiple.

I'd like it to be more like, forgive me for this, the iphone, but only regarding safari mind you! :p

This is something that I'd REALLY like to change too!

[HD2 General] Xaddict:
Like an iphone???

So you would like to have no choice in how your browser behaves?

Or you would like the choice to change it to similar to Safari?

Luckily in WM you have countless possibilities.
[HD2 General] maati:
We don't want a ****ty iPhone.

All we want is faster zooming.

Yes, there IS countless possibilities, thanks to WM. But HOW do we increase the zoom rate when pinch zooming?
[HD2 General] chalid:
yep, that would be a nice tweak ... :)
[HD2 General] kersh:

[HD2 General] adell_:
I guess there should be some configuration. Have you tried set Zoom config in opera:config?
[HD2 General] maati:
I can't find anything.

I can set the zoom rate for HTC Album and other stuff, but not for Opera.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mt2020:
My screen goes crazy. During a call up to my ear it flips to horizontal, changes out of key pad view and not always to mute/speakerphone... keys view, sometimes to contact info, and can be a nightmare to get back to "end call." I've found times when the caller hung up but the TP2 put them on hold and kept my time going.

Any programs and or reg hacks to:

1) stop the horizontal flip when placed to an ear, and

2) keep it in keypad mode or general call mode?

Real pain when dialing into a system that requires keypad responses. Everytime I put it back to my ear I have to go through a crazy sequence to get back to the key pad.

This is my only complaint wth this phone, it's not easy to use as a phone!

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] homers1:
I have the same problem when dialing into VM, or into any call queue. I looked through the registry a bit. Didn't see anything obviously labeled.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kiint:
yeah me too. Only thing I could find was using Gyrators' exception list to not rotate the phone, but it wasnt 100% reliable. I would *LOVE* to find a way to stay in keypad mode too.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sweena1:
Hi All - I guess I'm just jumping on the bandwagon but I have the same issue and find it annoying. I loaded the 'incall screen tweak' but that didn't work. Any help more seasoned members than I could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] AstarteSV:
I had the same issue too, whenever I put my phone up to my ear (left handed) it would go into landscape. The fix is simple but you have to edit a registry setting. I'm going by memory here, so please forgive the vague info

1) make sure to backup your reg info

2) using your favorite reg edit program, goto

HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Whitelist

3) now this is the part I kind of forgot, you need to find a string with the DATA value that includes "phone" or "dailer"

4) delete that string

5)soft reset and give it a try, the phone shouldn't go into landscape whenever you turn it during a call.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mt2020:
OK, I went where you said, but no dialer, and only phone entry is:

Phone/Lock/Compose/Picture

String= Dialog

And deleting this stopped "lefty" in call flipping? Doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't seem to only control dialer or phone.

Please confirm or anyone out there please help. I don't want to delete something don't understand.

Can I simple change Dialog to something like "Zero" or "0"?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] AstarteSV:
That's it! forgot what the process name was, but yeah, deleting that stopped the phone from trying to change to landscape during a phone call. Deleting that will tell the G-Sensor not to change the orientation of the phone's screen during a phone call, however it also tells it not to change the orientation during a picture (which wasn't a big deal for me cuz I can change it when I view them in windows). You can always look up the process in google or even the forum search tool if you're still scared.:p
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mt2020:
If anyone else is interested I tried a "partial" delete of the suggestion above. I created a new string leaving out the Phone.

Lock/Compose/Picture

String= Dialog

deleted old string with phone/....

So far no more "lefty" crazy problems, and pictures seem to appear in landscape.

Here's hoping all is OK!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] AstarteSV:
Awesome, good job!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] datguy85:
I installed Gyrator 2. Just create a new event with the phone as the application. Nothing for orientation, nothing on stylus, and rotate screen for actions. Then promote the event to the top. Highlight your new phone event and select orientation, it will have a check mark and a number one next to the event. It hasn't failed on me yet and I use the key pad all day long with my job!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] AstarteSV:
I just upgraded to the Verizon official WinMo 6.5 and the registry hack doesn't seem to work anymore, and I'm having issues getting Gyrator to work, has anyone resolved this issue for WinMo 6.5?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sweena1:
I haven't had any of the issues with the 6.5 upgrade that were mentioned with 6.1. Haven't needed to add S2U2 since the screen lock is built in and the phone is much more responsive when placed to the ear and then moved away to access the keypad. It's not perfect but vastly improved over 6.1...

I guess my point is try it the way it is with 6.5 and see if you thinks its better. leave gyrator and reg hacks aside for a few.
[Touch Pro CDMA] fusion600:
I have been unsuccessful in loading the Beta OPERA 10. Has anyone tried and been successful?
[Touch Pro CDMA] rothgar:
I was able to load it. I had to redownload the file and then copy the file to the phone using USB. I tried downloading straight to the phone and it would die about 3/4 of the way through but still say it was finished so the file was corrupt. I then tried copying the file over to the phone using bluetooth and bluetooth would die about 1/2 the way through thus corrupting the file.

After 3 downloads and transferring with USB it worked fine for me.
[Touch Pro CDMA] fusion600:

[G1 General] Paragnosta:
Hello folks,

in the new Android 2.0 there's a limit on Bluetooth: you can't enable DISCOVERABLE mode without passing through an Android dialogbox and only for a limited period of time (max 300 seconds): SHAME!!! This means that for DUN connections (or similar) the user should press YES every 300 secs (on Droid probably there's a bug, only 120 secs are allowed).

The problem could be found on the GIT at line 758: the application requires the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission to run the setScanMode method, unfortunately

not available at user level

.

Hope this could be fixed for homebrew roms.

Cheers
[G1 General] AdrianK:
I thought it had always been that way :P Isn't the limit there as a security measure? Oh well, thanks for pointing out a solution, should be interesting to see if this is adopted in to new ROMs.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
That is an EXCELLENT feature. Prevents the user from accidentally leaving it on, and thus vulnerable.

INCORRECT. The host only needs to be discoverable when the connection is established. The connection, once established, can remain open for an unlimited amount of time.
[G1 General] Paragnosta:
Sorry, but this is not so excellent as you can think. It's OK when user enable the discoverable mode from the Android settings, fine and good. But if you want to create a background service always listening for incoming connections, simply you can't!!!

You must use a system dialogbox each time you wanna be discoverable and it's not so cool :(

One example? If you want, you can't receive proximity marketing messages, unless you KNOW when and where enable the discoverable mode. And if you want a public DUN service always discoverable by anyone? You can't!!!

IMHO, this is a great limit for developers, that's why the Bluetooth is dying...

Cheers
[G1 General] Diceman4:
I have yet to meet anyone who WANTs to receive proximity marketing messages.

That's like WANTING spam in your inbox...

Or WANTING junk mail...

Or LOVING commercials...
[G1 General] lbcoder:
It is a PHONE, not a server. If you are using the phone, then it is in YOUR HAND, which means you can click the button. And the use-case for a phone is that you use the PHONE to connect to OTHER DEVICES -- not the other way around!

So? If the thing is always discoverable, what's to stop someone from hacking in? This is a necessary feature, and it doesn't interfere with appropriate use.

Again, the devices need to be paired ANYWAYS. You can't just bluetooth crap for fun and have everything receive it. BAD IDEA, DANGEROUS.

And marketing messages? As in ADVERTISEMENTS? Seems like a good thing to BLOCK AT ALL COSTS.

Huh?

Again, it is a ***PHONE***. Not a server! You *DO NOT WANT THAT*.

No it isn't. It just prevents developers from doing things that they shouldn't be doing or have no legitimate reason to be doing.
[G1 General] stormlabs:
Well, anyway you look at it, its a limitation put in place to protect people that don't know what they're doing at the expense of those who do.

Example:

I wanted to use KBlueLock (Locks the screen when bluetooth device disapears and [optionally] unlocks when it appears). I can't because the device won't stay discoverable. As soon as the timeout runs out, the screen is locked.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Your phone doesn't need to be discoverable for your headset to remain visible to it, so either your description is wrong, or the problem that you perceive is unrelated to your guess about the cause.
[G1 General] stormlabs:
I'm not talking about a headset. KBlueLock is part of KDE's bluetooth framework in Linux. It locks the screen when a certain BT device is no longer present.

You're assuming a pairing is required when it isn't. The mere presence (or not) of that device in a scan is enough.
[G1 General] missnexusone:
I second that. My bluetooth in my car and laptop would not automatically pair unless I have discoverable mode active. Its a hassle to always have to go to your bluetooth settings to activate that field EVERYTIME, otherwise it would not pair. They should have an option to have it turned on all the time. The user should have the freedom to choose! and not restrict them due to security issues.. i had blackberry's, and nokias, and had no problem with people trying to "hack" into my phone or whatever since my bluetooth was on all the time (and is automatically discoverable)
[G1 General] AndroidTeam5:
So in order for the phone to be on discoverable mode for a longer time, this would require editing the code for bluetooth right? Would this mean that the application will be rooted to the android platform? I am working on creating an app that allows bluetooth to be on discoverable mode all the time so perhaps with what the Bluetooth Adapter available to me right now in API 2.0, will prevent me from achieving this goal... Does anyone have code suggestions that can help me pass this obstacle? Below is what I have to make bluetooth discoverable for 300 seconds max. The Bluetooth Adapter prevents me from going beyond that time and also does not let me proceed to make bluetooth discoverable without user permission.

Intent discoverableIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE);

discoverableIntent.putExtra(BluetoothAdapter.EXTRA_DISCOVERABLE_DURATION, 300);

startActivity(discoverableIntent);

Thank you for your help in advance.

Sincerely,

AndroidTeam5
[G1 General] no6969el:
opinions opinions.. one man telling another man what they want and others telling others what they do and do not need.

The BOTTOM LINE is we should always have the option.. for example you MAY THINK (your opinion) that proximity marketing is like spam but freaking OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE WANTS IT he JUST SAID IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING... so damn everyone needs to take their opinions and leave..

You only post in this thread if you think it is useful.. not if you dont..

anyway proximity marketing would be good for example you are walking around a new area and you are really interested in what there is to eat around you.. and what deals they may have.. well you are walking down the street and BLING it tells you what the specials are..

Its funny cause everyone hates on spam and advertisments because we are always getting shown them when we are doing something else.. so its annoying.. but proximity marketing means that you turn that **** on when you are walking around interested in what the hell is available to you...

Hai già provato a riassemblarlo? funziona?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Mmmm...

You can flash a cooked ROM with the newer TACHI dialer installed. This has 'Slide to Answer' feature so that would cure your problem. Or, if you're not into flashing, try this. It's the best screen locker on the planet (just my opinion), but best of all, it's free ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] fostata:
thx i will try the locker
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mandragore:

TouchLockPro is also free and has a lot of sensor based features to add functionality to your Diamond.

And when I first started using my Diamond I paid for PocketShield.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brummiesteven:
I've never really got this, maybe someone can shed some light on it.

Why doesn't "stock" android come with the option of using the root "account"? I understand it could be a security risk for those not knowing what they're doing but a simple "UAC" style thing which asks the user if they have requested the operation and then asks them for their google password before running a task as root would be fine.

What does google/manufacturers/networks gain from not giving access to the root account?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CiDhed:
They gain the time it takes to troubleshoot all the phones that people jacked up. Root isn't for everyone and it can be used to brick the phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
If you integrated it, the same thing will happen as does with UAC

dumba**s will keep clicking allow without knowing the damage root can cause. I cannot tell you how many computers at my workplace have voluntarily been damaged by people allowing malicious programs to run at elevated privileges.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CiDhed:
Exactly. People are idiots. I have a few computers in my work's network that require admin privileges(some software programmers need to be shot) and even with firewalls and filters they still manage to find the one site that hasn't been blocked yet and downloads av2009 or some ****.

Look what happened to the jailbroken iphones.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
I think that the main thing about this "users are idiots" argument is that in this regard, blocking root doesn't help. In fact, arguably, it makes it WORSE since users have to go to hacker extremes to get root to do simple needs-root things.

Better idea would be to have a password secured root account per each device, and GIVE the root password to the user if they agree to forfeit any and all software warranties and technical support on the device.

Quite frankly, the reason why the providers keep root to themselves is simply to prevent the user from doing things that they don't want done, like tethering.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cingall:

Did you order online? if so which site?
[HD2 General] jonboyuk:
No, I just called o2 and ordered it over the phone!
[HD2 General] a18041967:
Let the fun begin, I just called o2 and yes its available but they want me to sign upto a £45 per month contract to get the phone free.... I told them where to stick it.....

Lets see what others get offered....

Called again using a none o2 number and number and was told it's not available online or over the phone, when I quoted the above price he said that it was incorrect and the £29.83 price is for a 24 month contract. Maybe worth checking the contract period.....

So in summary if you call 202 from a o2 handset they are available, but if you call 08442 020202 they are not available. Instore & business customers can also buy them....
[HD2 General] jonboyuk:
Well, I think I got it cheaper because I am an existing customer. I called upgrades and they said £45 per month contract to get the phone free. I called up retentions and said I was leaving and they said £30 per month for a free phone :)
