[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dashrink:
I am wondering if there exists an application which can easily change volume and screen backlight by a simple tap?

Well this is what im after: at night I always set my backlight to 10% and the volume very low. During daytime i set the volume at 80% and the backlight to 40%. My wish is to be able to switch between these setups fast, instead of having to access the settings etc. I guess it is some sort of profiling application, but the backlight option is a must.

Would also be nice if it had an automatic time setting.

Please share your knowledge if you know the answer to this.

Thank you.

Quick Set Backlight & sound for HTC HD2

I built one myself for my HD2. Its called Quick Set.

No guarantee it works on other HTC's.

On the HD2, pressing the leftmost button for 4 secs brings up a screen where you can select 0-25-50-75-100% sound levels and 10%-automatic-100% backlight levels.

If you want to keep a possible Long-Send.lnk already present in \Windows, please save it before and restore it after executing Quick_Set.CAB

In that case Quick Set must be launched via the start menu.

See attachments.

Have fun

Quick Set Backlight and Volume for HTC HD2 Version 1.1

Quick Set for HTC HD2 Version 1.1

Copy Quick_Set.CAB on the storage card and execute it.

It needs Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 Redistributable, possibly you must download an install it before.

After installation, pressing the leftmost button for 4 secs brings up a screen where you can select between 2 sound- and 3 backlight levels by touching c.q. the appropriate speaker and hd2 pictures.

This can be done easily, e.g. while driving and using the HD2 as navigator.

After selection, the application closes and the original screen is restored.

The first sound level is 0 (muted) and selected by touching the muted speaker picture left.

The second is determined by the setting of the top slider and selected by touching the right speaker picture

The first backlight level is dim and determined by the setting of the dark bottom slider.

It is selected by touching the dark HD2 picture left.

The second level is auto and determined by HD2's light sensor; selected by the middle HD2 picture.

The third level is bright and determined by the setting of the white middle slider;

selected by the white HD2 picture right.

While driving it is not recommended to operate the sliders.

If you want to keep a possible Long-Send.lnk already present in \Windows, please save it before and restore it after installation.

In that case Quick Set must be launched via the start menu.

Have fun

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dashrink:
wow. thanx mate.

Will try & review it! :eek:

edit:

Just tried it and the brightness setting works flawlesly. The sound works too, but it doesnt update the sound icon in the taskbar tho :-(

If you are still developing on this, you could add 2 more buttons to it. Night & Day mode. These2 modes could be configurable...

Example: Night mode, brightness level 0 sound level 0.

Day mode, brightness level 100 sound level 100.

Cheers. Great application mate! Keep up the good work!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] OpaPiloot:
Thanks for the compliment.

Quick Set was developed for a number of reasons.

I was dissatisfied with the implementation of some HD2 settings.

In particular, backlight and volume; the latter also because I used VolDpad to remap the volume buttons to Up/Down so that I had less trouble using MS Reader.

Setting backlight and volume when using Tomtom navigator while driving

compromises safety.

As a hobby, I wanted to gain experience with Smart Device program development tools.

I never thougt about the speaker icon.

It only shows "muted" if both the ringer- and system volume settings are set to zero via the regular controls.

Hence, if it shows "not muted", you are not sure what this exactly means.

If you want to be sure, you have to access the controls.

My conclusion is, that quick access to the controls is preferred, and that is what Quick Set is about.

Night & Day mode does not seem practical, because in general the actual requirements for sound and brightness depend on the environment and these are often not correlating with the time of day.

E.g. in my case the ringer volume is never muted, while the system volume is mostly muted if I don't use Tomtom Navigator; brightness is set to minimum if I'm in bed, otherwise it's set to Auto or maximum if I am outdors or showing pictures.

Also then quick access to the controls is preferred.

Adding more controls is not consistent with my design goals.

I omitted the sliders in my first design.

I only added them because a friend of mine with somewhat detoriated eyesight had trouble with the minimum brightness while Auto was too bright for him; moreover it enabled me to gain more experience.

For the latter reason I may do something about the speaker icon.

Have fun,

Bert

I am a noob when it comes to this,

I know that some roms offer customization with different user experience

add or remove some fetures or stuff from the standard rom.

or maybe even "optimize" some apps.

is that to it with custom roms?

also is there a guide for comparative page between roms offered by people here?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] _X_:
Well, depends for what are you using your phone/device.

If you are searching for performance optimized ROM and you find that stock HTC original ROM is slow than take a look at this thread and first post with comparative xls-table results as attachment.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=582700

In many cases custom ROMs have custom optimizations and customizations. Are they better than stock? In most cases they are but at the same time they introduce some problems and have bugs ... but that is the price to be paid for being on the cutting edge of technology anyway.

In most cases custom ROMs are better and it comes to personal taste for certain features. If you are satisfied with your device as it is, you don't have to change anything. On the other hand, you can also read few threads and you will very quickly realize what are the differences between certain ROM creators and their ROMs.

I personally always search for a ROM that is close as it can be to stock ROM but with newest stable build (not necessary build with highest number), most of useful tweaks incorporated and nice and functional theme.

Hope this helps.

you say it's for only for vga screens when the youtube video clearly shows it running on the hd2.... so ya, you really made that first post count lol

Why don't you follow the instructions on getting it on an HTC Blackstone? The Rhodium is pretty much like a Blackstone with a keyboard...

The guy in that video in your link also says he has the Neo Driverpack3 on his phone for the performance.

False! That, sir, is an HD (blackstone). However, you are correct in that it is working on a WVGA screen.

I was able to get this program running on my Tilt 2 using AthineOS 23518 and by putting the HTCAPI.DLL in the windows folder with Total Commander. It seems to have tearing issues. I assume the drivers mentioned in the instructions would correct this.

*EDIT*

I can confirm that the Neo v3 drivers have no effect on performance of this program on the Tilt 2. It holds an average of 25FPS, but has tearing issues.

I wouldn't go showing this off if you plan to impress anyone...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bigoload:
Thanks for the app.

After installing the Neo DriverPack 3 and moving the the HTCApi .dll file into the installed program file, it works just fine, with minor tears which I think isn't much noticable, but all-in-all it actually works on my TP2.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
First, sorry if this is in the wrong forum... I just know that this was dicussed a while back.

So my sister is tired of her Blackberry being a piece of junk, and she saw my Hero, and was like "omg. that phone is so much better than my BB". So, since Sprint changed their contract, I can cancel a line for free right now. Is it possible to take advantage of it, and cancel her line, and then sign her up again so she can get a Hero at a subsidized rate? Because my dad was just at the Sprint store, and he said he asked them and they just said she would still have to pay the unsubsidized price. Would it work if I cancelled the line over the phone, and then signed her line up again through Sprint.com? I just want to know if anyone has done this or knows how I would go about doing this...

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badutahboy:
Yes, that "should" be fairly easy to accomplish.

I intend to get them to just release my current upgrade status so that if something awesome comes out this spring, I'm immediately upgrade eligible.

However, like anything else customer service related, it depends who you get on the other end of the line, and how well you deal with them.

The best tact I can think of is to be totally courteous and respectful, and moderately honest. Tell them you realize that $.50 is no big deal, but since you can legally back out, and since the Nexus one just got released, you're weighing your options. Tell them you'd rather stay with sprint, but it'd be hard to resist the draw of an even better android device on a similarly priced carrier.

If you handle it right, it shouldn't be too tough to get them to upgrade your other phone to a hero at the upgrade price.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
Ahh wow thanks! That means I should not only get my sister a Hero, but also ask them to release my upgrade status too... actually, all of my family's upgrade status :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badutahboy:
Correct.

That might not be so easy to accomplish, however, since you don't have an immediate end game..

They'll interpret it as you wanting to be released from your contract but without terminating service. I believe some people have done exactly that successfully, but in general, they won't do that. You need to be very clear that you want to be made upgrade eligible, not necessarily released from your contract completely.. YOu also want them to give you that in writing, so that when a device does come out that you want, you won't have a big fight with them.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krymzon40:
I was thinking of trying to use this to get a hero also. I know carriers will try to give you incentives to stay, but does anyone think they could give a Hero as an incentive?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badutahboy:
I doubt you'd get one free, but this is a perfect opportunity to tell them essentially "look, I can legally break my contract and go get another phone subsidized with another carrier (like the nexus one). You can keep me as a customer if you'll give me a fully subsidized upgrade with a new 2 year contract"

I'd word it more diplomatically than that, but that's the message you're trying to relay.. Someone is going to get your business for the next two years, and it might as well be them.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtadeo:
should we call retentions directly? I recently got my htc hero with a 2 year upgrade.. my sister isn't eligible for an upgrade for another year.. Should I just call and ask if they can reset our eligibility? I'm really not trying to hijack this thread, but I figured I'd ask.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orangeandblue302:
the other way you can back out is if you are a new customer with an ASL on your account. If you dont enroll in autopay they will add 4.99 a month to your bill. That will allow you to cancel your contract but they wont let you go month to month.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archtech3d:
Allowed me to switch phones.

Hey everyone. Last week I was completely irritated with my Palm Pre. The UI is amazing and has tons of potential in the future, but the hardware issues and battery drain had finally pushed me to the breaking point. I called *2, pressed the option to cancel, and after explaining the situation in addition to the material change of contract, an account manager told me that I could go into the Sprint store and get them to swap my device for a different type of phone. She did not guarantee which phone it would be though. The store, after reading the notes on my account, instantly let me switch for a Hero when I asked.

On the phone:

When I mentioned the material change of contract that Sprint was implementing on the 10th they were instantly listening and ready to help. I expressed my concerns over the Pre and that I needed to get into a different phone - even if that means canceling with no ETF and going with another provider. I was already on my 3rd Pre replacement and I've been with Sprint for 10 years, so that might have helped my situation a bit. Maybe this made me a special case scenario, but the contract change situation I believe is what sealed the deal. If your current phone is giving you issues, calling Sprint is at least worth a try during this change of contract! Also, be nice on the phone. :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commandercup:
Can I still get out of my contract without an ETF even if the new charges don't apply to me?

I'm not exactly sure what the charges are...

Also, if you cancel your contract, does service end at the end of the month you cancel on?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lv2bll:
i have a question, if you back out of your contract and set your account up for cancellation, can you set ut a NEW account with the same phone(different #) and the go month to month on the new account
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travo1:
It would apply to all everyone has admin fees.

And no, its the plan and phone with a contract length, minimum you can do is a 1 yr with the business data essentials plan .
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 702DROID:
its my understanding that the only way to go month to month is if your contract is fulfilled for the whole time you signed up for if you cancel you account they will shut your phone off that day also there is no guarantee that they will allow you to start a new contract if you just canceled (at least under the same name)

PS: i aslo got my security fee and rebate back
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pileosnafu:
in theory you cannot go month to month becuase of this. Either you agree or you do not. Also being out of contract will not reset your upgrade possibilites. They are two different time tables.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commandercup:
if you cancel your contract don't you default to a month-to-month plan? IE. your existing plan continues to be billed, but you can exit at any time
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travo1:
Cancel- to postpone indefinitely, to annul something that was planned..

It would end all services..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commandercup:
I realize that the dictionary definition of cancel would suggest that my service would be over... however do you know for a fact that when you cancel a sprint contract service does not carry over month-to-month?

I've been looking at other forums like slick deals and that seems to be either the assumption or known to be a fact. I wouldn't see why Sprint would cut you off completely anyways until you ported your numbers since they still make money even if you're off contract.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badutahboy:
Not entirely true. I can disagree with the change in terms but still realize that Sprint is my best option currently. In reality, I'm surprised Sprint (or another carrier) has never ended up in a court battle to force them to adhere to the contract.

You "should" be allowed to void your contract but maintain service, particularly considering that in reality, you're entering into a unilateral contract, since Sprint isn't bound by the T&C's of their own contract.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lv2bll:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orangeandblue302:
Ok i think i can help you guys out a bit, as I took advantage of the new ASL fee, to opt out of my contract. They gave me an ultimatum either I agree to the fee and/or sign up for auto payment or I could opt out of my contract and go to another carrier. They said they would not allow the person to go month to month because they are in disagreement of the contract (which makes complete sense). As for waiting a bit and signing up for a new contract to go month to month, im pretty sure they would have a red flag on your ssn because you broke contract. just my .2
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krymzon40:
Very nice, I doubt I can get rid of my Touch Diamond that way.

However my vibrate motor is broken and they would replace it, I have the TEP, does anyone think because of this on top of the regulatory fee increase, I can somehow get my hands on a free or discounted Hero without extending my contract?
