[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Isadora:
This is great. Did it a few times and finger accuracy is now much improved! Thank you :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aBE-One:
Very nice! Thanks!

I can see this coming very handy when checking that the display is properly calibrated (apart from the ever-so-fun fooling around, of course :)).

I managed to get about 7000 once, but in most runs I get about 9000 (with my index finger & HD2).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] isangelous:
This is really useful, thanks!

I managed to get mine down to about 3000 after calibration. But that was just with my finger. When I then tried to type with my thumbs it was way off.

I have settled for calibrating the top points with my fingers and the bottom points with my thumbs. This gives around 6000 on your program but a better all round accuracy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mkent_barbados:
Heh, I can't get better than 18,000 on my HD2 (fingers only!) but I never seem to have any trouble clicking links or typing. How the hell you guys get it so low?

*EDIT* ok, did an alignment and just got 1,434!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Isadora:
My best "finger score" so far on the HD2 is just below 1500 :D I seem to be around the 3000 mark most of the time. I hold the phone in my left hand and use my right middle finger (at a weird angle because of my very long nails) never been able to use thumbs on any phone anyway due to the talons getting in the way lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] owziee:
I got 1323... using stylus though :) Gonna try finger aswell...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mr_Ray:
Glad to see it seems to be going down well.

The interesting thing I found was that although I'm pretty precise with my finger (actually not that much less precise than on my old Touch Pro with a stylus), when using my thumb on the move, I was clicking way way to the bottom left of where I *thought* I was clicking (as in, barely even on the X most the time).

Usability on the go, especially with the keyboard, shot right up after seeing that and teaching myself to use my thumb properly. :) Hopefully others find similar benefits.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] AF241:
Using both thumbs I managed to get about 9000. Before the screen calibration it was 29000 :eek:. Here's a icon if anyone wants to use.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mortent:
I got 1346 with my index finger on the hd2 after calibration :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Koki.v3:
Lol, 227 TouchMarks on my Diamond2, using stylus :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Nice tool thanks for sharing. Before calibration (with stylus), I was at almost 32000 touchmarks, and now I'm at ~1600 touchmarks. And my biggest intentional score, if anyone's interested, is 8,950,088 touchmarks :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mr_Ray:
Great icon thanks, added to the application. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] herczyn:
would it be possible for the application itself to calibrate the device based on the touches?

and i have one more idea - could the application calculate this:

i would call it "touchmarks if calibrated" or something like that. it would calculate the touchmarks placeing the X in the average of the pressed points.

ideally it would do both:

calibrate and show you the number of touchmarks before and after calibration.

other than that, thanks for the great app !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vlasac:
Hi Ray, and thank you for this nice piece of software.

I just installed it on Kaiser, and it works OK on QVGA, but fonts are too small to read. If you can do something about that it would be nice. Also if I may suggest, it would be useful to divide analysis screen in 12 or more squares and show graphic results for each part of screen, since we err differently in different regions.

A bit OT. I get a lot of 'dragging' when i try just to click, but WM thinks I am sliding my finger. Is it possible to change sensitivity on dragging? There are some settings for touch screen sensitivity in Advanced Config, but I don't know what they do.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mr_Ray:
Not really on the calibration point, especially since the app isn't really about the screen, it's about you. I wrote it when I got my Leo to see what messages I was sending to the screen.

I found out I was actually touching the screen below where I thought I was when using my thumb. I was fine with my index finger, clicking pretty much where I intended to. There's no way to instruct the screen that "if I'm using my thumb, interpret the cursor as being a bit up and to the right of where I'm pressing", especially since it can't possibly know what finger I'm pressing the screen with!

The lesson learned there is for the person, not the device. My index finger remains a godly input device, but my thumb has improved enormously. The phone saw nothing other than that sometimes I was good, sometimes I was bad.

As for the "if you had your screen calibrated to the average point" idea, I like the idea. There are certainly pros and cons, and I'll think about it at a later date.

Glad you found it useful.

[HD2 Accessories] conyeje2:
I think it would be great if HTC, or a 3rd party hardware manufacturer would create a small and consolidated infrared adapter for the HD2. Or at the least, a bluetooth to infrared transmitter that would serve as a station. I'm looking at having something for the HD2 that competes with RedEye for the Iphone, found here (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/redeye-turns-your-iphone-and-ipod-touch-into-bona-fide-universal/).

I'm also aware that there are a lot of existing windows mobile softwares, like seen here (http://pocketpccentral.net/software/remote1.htm), that enable the use of an IR port to act as a universal remote, just like RedEye does, but it is limited to phones having a built in IR port. Which is why I was greatly saddened to find out that the HD2 doesn't have an infrared port, which killed my idea of the HD2 not only being a media powerhouse within its own enclosure, but also within my home.

That being said, i'm going to spend the next couple of months doing everything I can in my power (emailing as many HTC and party companies as possible), asking that they create an IR adapter for the HD2 that would connect to the micro usb port. If possible, the ir could be attached by a resistant bendable cable, allowing you to bend the infrared under the HD2 in the direction of your entertainment center. If anyone doesn't see this as being feasible, please correct me, before I make a fool of myself with HTC and it's partners. Everyone's thoughts on this topic will be highly appreciated by me!
[HD2 Accessories] SeanX:
There was a pocketpc app called Total Remote that had a ir transmitter that plugged into the 3.5mm headphone jack.

It was at http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/totalremote but I don't know if you can get them any more. doesn't look like it.

[HD2 Accessories] zarathustrax:
I read on the Redeye Mini website that the company will write software to support other mobile devices if the demand was there. The redeye mini attaches the the headphone jack, so if we could get them or some other developer to write software for it to run on wm6.5, we could use the redeye mini on our hd2s. It looks like it might be the same setup that griffin used for total remote. I would also be very interested in this.... I'm gonna send redeye an email expressing my interest. You should do the same.
[HD2 Accessories] conyeje2:
Great Info Everyone!

I had feared that this thread had died a long time ago. Thanks for your inputs, despite how old the thread was! Good searching SeanX! Manicmoguladdict, your "rambling" has helped me, and I'm sure a handful of others, put DIY IR controllers into future mobile device possible, and you've renewed my hope. I must have missed that Engadget article, or must not have been looking at that site yet, for me to have missed the article you reference. I'm definitely going to check out the Mogul forum for the ir remote control development that you mentioned. And I'll also check online for DIY IR as you specified. Zarathustrax, good research on your part as well. I'm sending RedEye an email this very moment. Again, awesome job everyone, and I look forward to us reclaiming Infrared Control for all of our Windows Mobile Devices, whether it be through outside manufacturers, or our own DIY community!
[HD2 Accessories] conyeje2:
My emails

This is the email that I sent to RedEye, and I sent a modified one(neglecting android concerns) to Microsoft and HTC as well. I'm hoping that, if it isn't already in motion, a partnership is formed between all these companies!

"I'm emailing you in regards of the support of redeye being manufactured for Windows Mobile Devices. There are a vast number of Windows Mobile Devices, as I'm sure your company is aware of. If concerns are that there isn't enough demand for it in this Mobile OS, then my only rebuttal is that it could be explained by the lack of IR hardware in many recent Windows Mobile Devices. I don't know whether it was in the push for thinner, longer lasting phones that cause manufactures to remove this piece of hardware, which was present in many past mobile devices. But, if there is one thing that I can acknowledge, it is the fact that many of the users of these devices has not forgotten about IR hardware and technology. Many of us have been introduced to it, and really want it back, and want to see it return to WM, either built into the devices, or eternally through dongles produced by reputable companies as yourself. What I'm trying to say is that, if you were to introduce IR dongles for WM devices, it would not only be accepted by many, but it would flourish, just as much as it has with apple devices. If standard is a concern, for producing the software that is compatible with these mobile devices, then I guess Windows Phone 7 Series is a bright and stable place to start introducing dongles for. Also, I'm pretty sure the Android community would go crazy if a dongle with proper software was released for them. And, if it is possible for the android community to receive a dongle, then the windows mobile 6.5 community would probably be just as excited to receive one as well. I know many HD2 owners would would love to be able to control their media devices by IR, just as much as the Iphone users are enjoying it. But, to be fair, I'd be happy if it were released just for Android, and for Windows Phone 7 Series. And if it were released for Windows Phone 7 Series, then I think it would be easy to make it compatible with the Zune, which would add even more demand for such a product. In the end, I'm asking you, Thinkflood, to release a product that is 100% lacking in the Android and Windows Mobile Community. I'm sending Microsoft an email as well, just in case they're not aware of this either.

[HD2 Accessories] 6Fg8:
Interestingly, Mr. Griffin described his idea here. Easy enough to give it a shot, only concern is about shortcircuit protection on my Leo. I seriously damaged the FM receiver of my Blackstone doing similar things.
[HD2 Accessories] ozkaya:
this idea is super cool. schematics of that patent look really easy, can be done in 5 minutes. What is more important is to get the software algorithm right. I wonder if total remote would work with this DIY IR adaptor.
[HD2 Accessories] tms02:
I like the bluetooth idea better.

Check this out for the Blackberry.

[HD2 Accessories] Manicmobileaddict:
fits in your pocket?

I'd hate to carry that thing around and connect to everything I'd like to control. We're looking for a pocket solution of existing components technology. Total remote uses a data base of most audio/video equipment and you can control most just by changing your setting. So you can change the channel at your favorite pub.
[HD2 Accessories] niulj:
I love this idea. I subscribed this thread.
[HD2 Accessories] halx:
Very interested too.

Just some thoughts. Theoretically the HD2 flash can emit some percentage of its light energy in IR range. The photo diode, required for recording of the IR signals to learn commands from a remote, seems to be in place too (the camera is too slow for that, but the proximity sensor may have enough bandwidth). The question is: is there any information on the possible bandwidth for the flash diodes and for the prox. sensor? And is it possible to control them that fast ?

So far my solution for the total control is BT <-> RS-232 adaptor <-> everything else
[HD2 Accessories] arcades:
Anyone heard of a working IR (infra-red) Dongle/Adapter for HTC HD2 (Leo) ??

It is very useful thing. I want to control TV via IR.
[HD2 Accessories] smeddy:
+1 this whole thread. So how difficult can it be to find a cheap bluetooth to IR relay (e.g. a little box somewhere in your toom which accepts Bluetooth and suirts out IR)? I know it's a niche tool but someone somewhere out there must be doing it?
[HD2 Accessories] tomthemd:
Redeye

I am interested in this idea as well!

I finally want to be able to open my car with my phone again !

(See my "Open Your Car With Your Windows Mobile Phone" Thread.

So, yes. I definately would buy that redeye thing if it were manufactured 4 WM.
[HD2 Accessories] ristiisa:
i ordered a bunch of ir diodes and will start testing if it could actually work.
[HD2 Accessories] Palmchen:
I'm interesting too - hope you could solve this issue
[HD2 Accessories] zarathustrax:
There are several ir transmitters that plug into the headphone jack out there.... we just need to get a developer to write some remote control software that will output the correct audio signals to the ir transmitter and that has all the different ir codes for the devices we want to control.
[HD2 Accessories] smeddy:
Bump :) I'd love it if this was to happen. Any one have any new thoughts on this?

[HD2 Accessories] Manicmobileaddict:
Well I went and got an Evo on day one instead of an HD2 so now I'm hoping an Android version of Totalremote might happen (in my dreams) so I can try out my converter on it. Has anyone tried making their own converter (since it's no longer made) from some earbuds and downloading Totalremote (free)?

Hi i ve tried total remote on my acer s200,a device pretty similar to hd2 apart from the ram (256mb).The old one seems to run on wm 6.5 but crash when i try to opne the menu.If i remain in the default remote (a sony one) the application seems to work.If you give me support in the software part,i can try hardware because i m a tecnichan
[HD2 Accessories] xborfi:
no solution yet?
[HD2 Accessories] Axel85:
no,no solution,but seems like something is in development...sadly can t remember the site.You can try with infrared remote android on google
[HD2 Accessories] xborfi:
can we attach the infrared devices to micro usb port of HD2?
[HD2 Accessories] SpiritRC:
No, we can't. The microUSB port on HD2 is a device port, not a host port. It can't control anything. It can only serve as a slave to other hosts (e.g. a PC).

HD2 doesn't feature a USB host.

ThinkFlood is an App that lets Android work with the RedEye transmitters. Should do the trick.

RedEye Mini

Has anyone seen any source code to connect the RedEye mini to an android phone, or any other phone.

Has anyone had any success at transmitting an IR signal using the HD2s audio output.
[HD2 Accessories] scariola:
This might lead you somewhere, if your on windows mobile that is.

http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/use-your-hd2-usb-port-as-a-host/
[HD2 Accessories] mgdev:
@scariola

Yes I did see this, it does have possibilities but there are two main problems.

The first is that any device attached to the USB port in host mode need its own power, like a battery, not as simple as something like the RedEye mini.

The second is that you have to reset the HD2 every time you want to change from host to client mode.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] KW TP:
When I slide my keyboard out my TP 2 freezes up. I have uninstalled everything that isn't stock on my TP 2, and it still feezes when I pull out the keyboard. I had this problem once on my TP 1 and it turned out to be the PIM went bad and I had to re-enter my entire contacts list. I am hoping to find a better solution this time. I am thinking it might be either Adobe FlashLite, which I can't seem to get to uninstall, or right before it quite working I used PPC PIM Backup V2.1 and Caxixi which is a Samsung game and had an SDK file withit. As far as I know everything has been uninstalled. I am accepting any ideas. Thanks in advance.

**Edit**

So I did a hard reset and it seems to have fixed whatever I had messed up. Now the only problem is I'm worried about using the backed up PIM and having the problem re-occur

but mostly i got the same problem, they had a short battery life...

So, what rom, in your opinion, have the longest battery life? Or are there any tipps how to improve the battery life.

Best Rom for battery life

I 100% agree, best Rom for battery life :cool: (xperia UnOff):D

and I also agree with

Test as many radio as you want and see which one improve your battery life.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jabe:
that is the best ROM regarding battery life by far. It is true it is "out of date", but don't confuse that with buggines. The ROM was very stable, if there were bugs (cannot remember) they were fixes in the appropriate thread. It was fast enough as well. I really advice this ROM to anyone who's major priority is battery life and not "the latest even if in alpha stage" ROM
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redram38:
I have a couple of questions I am hoping to get help with. First if I have a custom ROM on my phone like MoDaCo and I wipe back to factory will it also add back the apps I removed like Nascar, footprints, ect. I am asking because after I wiped it through the recovery screen it did not add these back. The second question is when trying to do a Nandroid restore from when I first rooted the phone after I updated it, I get an error telling me it has to be done from the shell. Can I do this and if so how? Thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redram38:
can anyone help with this?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Are you using RA-1.2.3??

My Nandroid backups have never asked me to restore through terminal.

Your back up maybe corrupt?? If so, I am not sure if people have had success loading a Nandroid from another phone, but you are welcome to one of my factory backups if it works. Can someone confirm a Nandroid from another phone will restore? I will Send if it does.

Also, the factory reset in RA1.2.3 should put back all apps. It is a "Factory reset" though I have never done one without immediately loading a rom. Who knows how its actually supposed to work.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redram38:
I am using RA-1.2.3. I guess it is possible the backup got corrupt when I moved it to my PC and then back to the phone. What is strange is none of the backups I had saved would take. I was able to do a backup and then right after that restore it so I know it works. I did about three factory resets and it would not add back the system apps I removed, but I think before the Sprint update when I first rooted the phone it did add back all the apps when I reset the phone. I could be wrong or it may be they came back when I put MoDaCo 1.1 on the phone since his ROM has everything with it. Thanks for responding.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
last MoDaCo Rom I loaded (1.2c) all the stock apps came back, but I also loaded the Optimzation.zip so i wasn't sure who put them back.

Good to know it was the MoDaCo. It seems that even loading Rom's most things are fairly persistent and don't get wiped or over writen which is nice.

WinMoBo phones usually wipe everything out when you do this stuff.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmanley69:
doing a "factory reset" will not replace stock programs you deleted, it will just delete all your settings and apps you installed.

It's a misnomer in fact.... but when HTC made the option, they assumed that you hadn't rooted your phone. That's why all they really delete is the stuff in /data. Nothing in /system is added or modified.

If you really want to do a true factory reset, get the RUU from HTC and run it to reset your phone to exactly what it was when you got it.

As far as Nandroid not working, I've never had that problem either, but if your backup is corrupt then RUU will be your only option.
