I saw this a while ago and you're obviously right the HD2 experience here is much better. But for now I'm not really comparing based on what I see as "frills" until I'm sure that the "key functionality" is equivalent. For me key functionality means the core apps I will use all the time: browsing, note taking, music, rss, ebook, password wallets, navigation, mail, calls, sms, diary, todo list, crm, video (mainly bbc iplayer), occasionally spreadsheet use. If the core functionality is better on one phone I will use it even if the frills and aesthetics aren't quite there yet.

On that basis I guess I really ought to check out Android as well. I've written off WebOs, Blackberry and Maemo as there are only so many hours in the day for doing comparisons :-).
[HD2 General] dcoales:
Hi Buino,

I'm interested in the problems you had with email syncing on the iPhone. I use exchange to synchronize mail, contacts, appointments and tasks with my HD and your are right it works brilliantly and was very easy to set up. Is this level of exchange sync available on the iPhone ? I don't mind if it is hard to set up as long as it works once it is.
[HD2 General] TrYde:
If you know how to take pictures (like with an actual camera), the HD2 camera is great. My brother printed a couple pictures using a photo service and they are great, no blur, no noise, no weird colors. His previous phone was an iphone and he didn't even bother with camera.

Add the usb mode that beats itunes hands down, you can show and transfer those pictures anywhere (pc, mac, linux, tv, media centers, whatever reads usb). Iphone simply can't compete with that.

Isn't making phone calls a key functionality of a mobile phone?!

Sometime last week, in the train, I sat next to someone who and an iPhone and a Blackberry. He got a call on his iPhone but didn't want to take it. He could do nothing but wait until it stopped ringing. Can you imagine how embarrassing that is?

Likewise, on the iPhone, when you're in an application and want to make a phone call, you have to completely close that application to get back to the home screen, then hunt for the phone or contacts icon. With the HD2, no matter what you're doing, you can always press the call send button and you have both the phone and your contacts in front of you immediately. That's so much more convenient. I had iPhones for quite some time, I can tell you that this REALLY matters.
[HD2 General] TrYde:
I have never though of that major iphone failure :eek:
[HD2 General] freyberry:
The iPhone has many major failures that usually nobody talks about.
[HD2 General] :
Because apps and the apple logo make up for so much for Iphone owners! :p

I was using my HD2 as a wifi router today, my friends were in shock. Some wiser ones realised they could download an app to do it for their Iphones, but considering I have unlimited internet (lol 500mb) it was built into the phone (not o2's firmware right enough) and I can still multitask, one up for my Leo! :)
[HD2 General] Spike15:
I agree with that.

That said, I'd like to expand on that a bit -- the whole thing of "apps".

I don't really understand why iPhone users buy phones that have:

A. A browser

B. A mobile internet connection

And then want apps that basically duplicate functionality you could've gotten through your web browser. It's like the "Facebook app". Are they kidding? They have a web browser that they could go to the real Facebook in, but instead they'll use a Facebook app.

It really hit me when I was watching the iPad (a device even more pathetic than the iPhone) keynote speech. Early on in the speech, Jobs went to the NY Times webpage to highlight the excellence of the web browsing experience of the iPad, and then, later in the speech, they had the NY Times team come on stage and demo a NY Times iPad app.

[HD2 General] 3kgt:
Haha lol You gotta hack every little funktion on an Iphone to get anywhere!

Its not about Funktions in the iphone world!

Its a Fashion thing now a days! Its like a Jens modell, every one gotta have an iphone..

Most of the people who have bought an iphone wich i asked in my work gave me the answer that becuse its a "cool mobile", My friend have one, I like playing games, Awsome games, All my firends in school have one ..Etc !

of 30 people one knows how to Use The Phone ;)

and Dont think that Iphone dont Stuck and have buggs! Once you install hacked apps you will get buggs 100% sure, i have a friend who is an iphone geek! have hade iphone since the begining and have more than 70 Apps installed! And even he gives me an honest answer that Iphone dose crashes, but he is used to it...

Every phone have its good and bads, but I never like anything that Every One Have.. Even my cars are a bit special :P
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Probably because you have to accept a non disclosure to get support.
[HD2 General] aceo07:
I like how you think. I don't like how some new phones are starting to not have the 'phone' call/hangup buttons. It makes it seem like phone calls are a secondary feature. I might only use the phone for an hour a day and other features more often, but phone calls are something that are more important and should be easiest to access and use.

I hope the US HD2 comes out soon! I'm just lurking in this forum hoping for an early release for the US. :p
[HD2 General] Spike15:
I hope you're not waiting on a release on any carrier other than T-Mobile, because that's the only U.S. carrier that's going to get the HD2 (in all likelihood).

If you're with anyone else (AT&T) you're going to want to grab the T9193 from Australia...
[HD2 General] chongbh:
There is one thing I want to laugh at iphone users that they have to install apps to listen to the radio online using data charges but HD2 users can just plug in our earpiece supplied to us and we can listen to any radio station on the move without incurring data charges. :p
[HD2 General] elite-fusion:
hey guys, just a quick question, for the HD2, is there a model that would work with 3g and one that wont, becuase i know that was the case with the regular HD with models 8285 and 8585 i think, or something like that, so before i buy one, i just want to know that the phone will work with 3g becuase i want to buy an HD2 this weekend
[HD2 General] 20mihalko:
until you are not in US, every HD2 will work on 3g... in US, none of HD2`s will work on 3g...
[HD2 General] elite-fusion:
well i am in the US, so there is no way to get 3g :(

This tool is mainly for Dev's

It reinstalls all apks on /data/app /data/app-private

I noticed when playing around too much with apps - It would get the error saying sigs in package don't match packages.xml (android.something.blah)

I would just throw this in a build in case

I made it to save my life when I deleted my packages.xml accidentally

Hey nice tool.

Found this thread after googling up packages.xml... I noticed that it was missing while testing stuff lol
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
It's weird how a lot of tools used nowadays originate from the G1 forums... you see the apktool thread bump up often for example even though things like that were made years ago.
[G1 Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Well reinventing the wheel is hard to do lol

All you can do is tweak it/mod it/add to it/customize it...

But its still the same at its core :)

I just may add this to SuperCharger (have it generate an "App Repair" script)

btw didn't cyanogenmod originate on the G1?
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
Sure did, most of the well known devs came from here, and most others use this thread as a referance to their own work

what else can i do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kurniawan77:
YESSS it's HERE!!!!

All credits to exidler!!!! Thanx man!!

I saw this question somewhere else, but i just could'nt find it. So i thought let's start the idea again...

The idea is to have the proximity sens enabled in the wm6.5 lockscreen! Why? To disable the screen and hard buttons! That way if your HD2 is in your pocket, the screen won't go on if u press hard buttons on accident... see.

This would also be a nice feature if you get an incoming call, it happens to me very often, when i have my HD2 in my jeans and want to pick up a call, i often press the end call when pulling out the HD2 out of the pocket.... very frustrating!!!

Is there someone out there who is able to create an app/ tweak like this???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lord Spectre:
Thread you mentioned was open by me, but no solution for now. Btw proximity sensor isn't a bad idea, I can code in VB .net, but I don't know how use the sensor with the code! I hope there will be a more skilled programmer here! ;)

The solution for now was called S2U2 :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kurniawan77:
yeah... any skilled programmer/ developer over here???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NSider:
Yep, that's a great idea. Shame I can't do it myself :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] d3l1:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Noam23:
pocketshield will soon support proximity sensor for hd2. got confirmation from them a week ago.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kurniawan77:
yeah... but u got to pay for pocket shield......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] SIAM6128:
or map hardware buttons to perform other duties than sending and receiving calls....just a thought....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kurniawan77:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xmoo:
htc just needs to add button lock in there rom.

So you can only poweron poweroff the screen using the power button.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lord Spectre:
I agree, but only when nothing cover the proximity sensor, otherwise the phone will switch on and off in your pocket a lot of time!!

BTW, tha't incredible!!! Why HTC doesn't implement this basic function in their roms?? Really, I don't know! :mad:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iosub:
hi to all,

I have check, pocketshield (latest beta) S2U2, smartlock and some more other

all of then have the same problem, they can not lock the answer key, so in case you have and incall and the phone is on your pocket you can accidentally pick up the call.

pocketshild developer has tall me that it's waiting for HTC to release a hotfix.

iosub

BTW, if anyone finds a solution please post it here
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kurniawan77:
Good to hear...

But why are they waiting??? is it possible that HTC knows about this prob?? Would be nice if HTC developed this theirselves... prox sensor to switch off the LCD and hard buttons in incall AND in Lockscreen!!!

Or come on XDA Developers!!! One of u guys or galls have the power!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vangrieg:
I certainly don't like the idea of using a full-blown locker like Pocket Shield or S2U2 for this purpose, so hopefully somebody will come up with a way to trap those darned buttons that can be used outside of those programs. Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out why standard hooks fail...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iosub:
hi

for me the real question is, why the htc dialer does have a slider but it does not lock the answer and end call keys when reciving a call ?

if htc developers didn't think about it why are they going to fix it ? I don't think we will get a hotfix ...

anyway if anyone find a solution .. please post

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vangrieg:
I don't think HTC is going to "fix" it, it's not a bug, it's a design [in]decision. It's been the case with all their phones since the times when dinosaurs ruled the Earth.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iosub:
I agree with you, but then... what is the solution??? Because each time I have an incomming call and I have the phone in my pocket I have to praid not to push the answer key!!...

To bad "feature"...

is someone from HTC lissening this forums???

Iosu
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DrBasem:

This seems really interesting as i just watched the youtube video

Ive only had my HD2 for 2 days, and i havent really gotten any calls when my phone was in my pocket

Also, i keep the HD2 in the leather pouch it came with, and just realized if i get a phone call i'll MOST LIKELY press a button while trying to take it out the super tight pouch...

This little app seems like it'll solve these problems, but i want to know if anyone has 1st hand knowledge of it working with the HD2?

Post #100

"Yes, in a way, there's a workaround. Go to \Windows\Start menu, find phone.lnk, copy it to \Windows and rename there to Long_Send.lnk."

I have used this app (without this change) on my Touch Pro 2 back when I had Win 6.1 and it worked great, however

I did have to end up disabling it because it would not let me answer a call using the talk/end button on my bluetooth headset.

I would still like to see a working Proximity Sensor app though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vua777:
yeah the "Long_Send.lnk" work, why?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Noam23:
I have a combination that 100% locks all hardware keys on incoming call, but it cost money.

The solution is to use Iconsoft Phonex 2.2 together with Pocketshield 3.2.5.

None of them alone will do the job.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] markosf:
I just use the Light sensor and the G-sensor, all other sensors I have disabled.

I can also unlock it by pressing volume down and then up and when I plug it for charging.

So when it's in my pocket (where it is dark) and it turns on (from sms/ring/mortscript or accidental button pressing) it stays locked and suspends after a few seconds.

TouchLockPro is a must have for the HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
Good to hear that the GSensor is also working for the HD2. I did not know if it was working, because I saw some other code for accessing the GSensor which is totally different than TouchLockPro now uses. So you confirm the light sensor and GSensor is working.

What about the Answr and Reject key? Are they locked too? Because I understood that some people had problems (with other locking solutions) blocking those :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vangrieg:
The code you linked to is for the compass, not g-sensor.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
Strangely enough the fields are similar as the GSENSOR:

struct compass_data

{

short x;

short y;

short z;

short angle;

short d;

short dummy[10]; //just to make sure nothing get overwritten

};

While the GSensor structure is:

typedef struct _SENSORDATA

{

SHORT TiltX; // From -1000 to 1000 (about), 0 is flat

SHORT TiltY; // From -1000 to 1000 (about), 0 is flat

SHORT TiltZ; // From -1000 to 1000 (about), 0 = Straight up, -1000 = Flat, 1000 = Upside down

WORD Unknown1; // Always zero

DWORD AngleY; // From 0 to 359

DWORD AngleX; // From 0 to 359

DWORD HTCOrientation; // LANDSCAPE=0, REVERSE_LANDSCAPE=1, PORTRAIT=2, UPSIDE_DOWN=3, FACE_DOWN=4, FACE_UP=5

} SENSORDATA, *PSENSORDATA;

So how to interpret the compass data?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vangrieg:
I have no clue, frankly. But you don't need it for locking purposes anyway. Or for anything but navigation or "augmented reality" stuff.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] markosf:
TouchLockPro blocks answer and reject key.

Tested answer and reject key with three callers. Once the answer key worked when it shouldn't. All other 5 tests the keys were locked as they are supposed to.

That failed time could be a fluke.

BTW Some days ago, having forgot that touchlockpro was locking everything, I was pressing keys like a maniac to take a call and when I finally remembered and unlocked with the volume down/up combination all the keys I had pressed in lock mode were played back! :-) like they were stored in some buffer or something. This only happened once.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kurniawan77:

Check the first post! It's possible to have proximity lock!!!!!!!!

i use incall lock and proximity lock

so the hard buttons are locked in incomming lock and the lock is activated by proximity!

dunno if thats the answer but that combinations works.

This is actually the original Diamond forum, not Diamond 2 so you may want to post there instead (Topaz). Isn't there an option in the settings to hard reset the device like there is for Diamond?
