Recently installed Opera Mobile 10b2 on my HTC Touch 2 (Mega) WM6.5

Unfortunately can't watch videos or play flash games. It does link me to the adobe site, but theres nothing there.

Installed Flash Player v7 from the adobe site, but it still doesnt work.

Apart from using Skyfire (which is messy) is there any other solution, or does anyone know if Adobe are going to bring out a new version of flash player for wm6.5 soon.

[HD2 General] masi0:
i tried to search the forum with no results btw:)

have two cases while receiving/calling with hd2

1. via bluetooth headset - even when the phone is in the pocket some apps starts randomly, even call is disconnected - isn't proximity should cause phone scrren to be blank all time?

2. via the phone - sometimes while talking screen is still dark and pressing eg. home key puts display on. sometimes moving phone away from ear turns screen on.

do you have some or its something with my phone?
[HD2 General] kochavy:
I have the same problem, the proximity sensor does not work, I think it works only outside when you have strong light, try it and let me know.

make a call the screen will go off now move it from your face loking up at the sun outside you will see that the screen will turn on.

it works only when I makes a call. when I am getting a call it atays on.

kochav
[HD2 General] Spike15:
Well you would be wrong then.

It's a proximity sensor, not a light sensor. I just made a call in my darkened room and the proximity sensor functioned flawlessly.
[HD2 General] kochavy:
thake the screen protector out or cut it and the proximity sensor will work perfect.

kochavy
[HD2 General] Spike15:
Wow who would've thought that covering up a sensor designed to sense when objects are close to it would impede its functionality.

Your revelation hepled me fix the microphone on my phone. It wasn't working, and then I realized I had my hand over it!
[HD2 General] srmz:
Yes I have had issues even with the original HTC screen protector which has two small holes directly over the sensors. I finally had to remove it.

Cutting the protector I have not been very successful so far. This creates sharp edges and the protector tends to peel off from that point. For the time being I am relying on the fact that the screen on the HD2 is scratch resistant enough that with normal care it would not get scratched. With over 2 months of use without a protector my screen is still scratchless.
[HD2 General] Archer:
IF it is anything to do with the screen protector, then there are plenty out there that don't have this effect.

I've got a protector on my HD2 and have had it there since just after I got it, so just over 2 months now. The screen protector has worked perfectly, even, kochavy, in the dark, because it detects proximity not light.

I suggest removing any screen protectors and seeing if you still have the problem. If you do, send the phone back as faulty. If you don't, get a better screen protector.
[HD2 General] kochavy:
do you have the original HTC screen protector with the two holes? there are some protector that does not cover the top of the phone and leave the two sensors out from protection.
[HD2 General] Archer:
No I don't. The one that came with it never please me much, so I bought some better ones.

The protectors I have don't have any holes for the sensors at the top, but like I said, it just works perfectly. There's a lot more to this issue that just the screen protector, as some people have reported that it works perfectly when they ring certain number, but not when they ring others. From what I've read on other threads, this is commonplace for people who are having this problem, so it's obviously not an issue with their screen protectors. It sounds like a software issue to me, but since it can't be identified as such, they should just return their phones as faulty and hope the replacement doesn't have the same issue.

It would be interesting to know if the people with the described issue have upgraded the ROM to 1.66, as this seems to have fixed a whole slew of issues.
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
Sensor works by reflecting infrared light. There is small IR lamp with IR detector nearby. You can check that by looking at the sensor through some digital camera or camcorder, whose are usually sensitive to this light. Don't forget the phone must be in call, otherwise the sensor is turned off.

I think the sensor itself is OK. But there seems to be some relationship with guess what .. G-sensor ! Once I found the screen just won't go off during call, and it was when I was lying during the call, and I was holding the phone upside down portrait style.

But as I turned the phone to normal position (normal portrait) and back, it started to work with no problem.

I only had problem with proximity sensor once since then .. but rotating the phone up and down helped again.

I think this needs more investigation .. if you encounter the problem try this.

The upgrade price just dropped $100. I've never done an upgrade before, and was wondering, when you upgrade, do you have to give back the old phone? Also, do you stay on the same contract, or does the contract go back to being 2 years (my current contract has 1 year remaining)?

[Nexus One General] Wysie:
Hi all,

This is not so much of a ranting thread (although I am really frustrated), but just a gentle reminder to please check your screen for dust, as well as any other known issues BEFORE rooting. Thankfully, I did that, and my phone had dust under the screen UPON arrival. I got it at 2pm, and returned it to HTC by 5pm.

The other problem is, do remember Google takes no responsibility with hardware related issues. As much as I hate it, find HTC. I had a horrible experience with them, and I just want to share it with the rest of you. Also, I'm from Singapore, just in case.

I got my phone at 2PM from DHL, and was really happy about it (who wouldn't)? I opened it, booted it, and it was really fast. Then I checked the screen. There was not one speck, but at least 5 specks of dust under the screen. I immediately called HTC Singapore's hotline, and it was outsourced to another country (I'm guessing China, cause when they called me back it was +86). I can speak Mandarin, but only barely, and it was really difficult trying to tell them my problem in English. They really tried to help, but the communication barrier proved to be very frustrating. In the end, I was told to go down to HTC Care (at Keppel Bay Tower) to return the phone.

At this point in time, I didn't really want to make a huge fuss or anything. **** happens, I can accept that. All I want now is my phone replaced, as quickly as possible. I reached HTC Care around 4.15PM, but was only served at 5PM. Even worse, the staff at HTC Care Singapore had NO idea what to do with the Nexus One. They told me it was dealt differently from other HTC phones. As a consumer, I seriously do not care. I just want my phone fixed/replaced/whatever. I then waited for 20 minutes while they tried to log into the Nexus One system of theirs or something.

As though that was not bad enough, they had no idea what to collect from me. Some of them said I should return only the phone, while others said the entire box set. In the end, I returned the entire box set. They did not even bother to check the contents inside. Also, the courier service used this time is M3 express instead of DHL, and I was not given any tracking number despite them telling me the order has already been placed.

Also, there were other discrepancies. The phone staff told me to expect it within 3 working days, while HTC Care staff said to expect it within 3 to 5 working days. To be fair to the HTC Care staff, I doubt they were even briefed on what to do with Nexus Ones.

Below is the email I've sent to HTC, although at this point in time I doubt the response will be good:

To end it, please remember to check before rooting! :)
[Nexus One General] mgear356:
bro sad to hear this from you.

I also got my nexus one today and i notice the screen's bottom left and right corners are making loose noise when pressed with some pressure..

so i used some pressure on the problemic areas for 20secs and so far, no more loose noise..

Hopefully it will prevent my unit from dust..
[Nexus One General] lightforce:
I have been consistantly checking mine as well. This sucks
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
From what I understand, this is still a problem with a small minority of phones.

People who do not have this problem (as you might have noticed) are not going to be very vocal about not having it.

For the record, I have an N1 and have had zero problems whatsoever, screen or otherwise.
[Nexus One General] ScaredyCat:
Mine doesn't have it either. If you can't see it, then why is it bothering you? Mine doesn't have jam (jelly if you're in the USA) in it either but I'm not going to keep checking for jam.

SC
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
its bothering me because I REALLY want to root but REALLY will go out of my mind if I see this problem after rooting (because my warranty will then be long in the void :)). So I want to track this problem down now and some how be 100% sure that my phone is safe.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Wow, this dust problem is become quite large. Small quantities doesn't sound like a good enough example of the problem. I don't have my Nexus One yet, but I do hope - that when I get it soon - the newer models (if they are starting to correct the issue) doesn't have this problem.
[Nexus One General] ScaredyCat:
Well, you either wait for the warranty to expire or you root it before.

If you're really that worried power it off and check it with a magnifying glass. TBH Right now there are 1001 reasons not to root it and only a couple of reasons to root it. Unless there's something you really need/want root for you may as well wait.

SC
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
I know, I am waiting for now, probably until Cyanogen Mod comes out for N1. However I do not want to wait a year :(
[Nexus One General] DKM119:
exactly i think one of the main reason i root my G1 was to apps2sd....and then some themes...but with this much RAM on the N1 i do not see a reason to root...
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
Theres more to root than apps2sd. For example, Internet tethering is a feature I really want and only possible through root.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Since we're talking about rooting here, I just wanna root to upgrade to un-released Android firmwares, themes, changing things inside the phone that aren't possible stocked. There are lots of reasons to root in my eyes, and I really don't care about the negatives.
[Nexus One General] maxawesome:
Same here. Zero problems with mine.

Also I don't plan to root until the S-ON/S-OFF issue is either resolved or root without unlock is discovered.
[Nexus One General] DKM119:
yeah i undertand you point but is not for everybody...like myself i do have wi-fi at home and at work...so i never used the internet tethering....so for me when i rooted my G1 is was only for the apps2sd and themes....
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
There are always alternative. Although not as elegant of a solution, PDAnet allows you to connect your phone to your computer so it can use your data connection. Works pretty well.
[Nexus One General] j.books:
as someone who had to unroot and use the warranty on my rooted G1 like 11 months after I got it, I definitely will not root my N1 when I get it unless there is a way to revert to the full factory settings. I'm not a dev but I have faith they will figure it out though.
[Nexus One General] Wysie:
I woke up to find this thread now has 3 pages of useless conversation :|.

Anyway, if you take a torch and shine it it'll be obvious if there's dust on it.

I need root cause of Market Enabler and internet tethering. :) Will update this thread when I get a response from HTC.
[Nexus One General] tjhart85:
That's a truly depressing story!

The warranty situation is the main reason I use to keep myself from buying this phone. Since I had a hardware issue with my G1 that needed to be replaced (stopped accepting USB input, so it wouldn't charge or transfer data), this is kind of a deal-breaker for me.

Not repairing hardware defects because of a software issue is complete bull****.

My contract comes due in November, hopefully by then, HTC will have changed their policy. If not, the phone I buy definitely won't be unsubsidized! I've had good luck just contacting tmobile and saying the phone broke. Since it doesn't work, I'll have to cancel my contract and pay the ETF.....in the past they've given me a good price on a replacement. This probably wouldn't work if I wasn't on contract with them.
[Nexus One General] timmymarsh:

Also, HTC has replied to my email with a generic email -_-.

To which I replied:
[Nexus One General] DaveANH:
Good advice! I'm going to order mine in about a week but I will definitely check before rooting. Actually I will probably just wait a few weeks before rooting to make sure the phone is 100%.
[Nexus One General] j_r0dd:
Well, I just got off the phone with HTC about the dust issue. They just emailed me a shipping label and I am to package everything that was included in the original packaging and send it back to them. Upon arrival they said they will inspect the phone and then mail my replacement which will be a brand new phone. This is quite irritating but at least I know i will be recieving a new phone and not a refurbed or repaired one. I will post an update in a few days and let you know the outcome because my phone is rooted.
[Nexus One General] laughter95:
Warranty Replacement Timeframe

Hello,

Just wanted to clarify with everyone about how long you have to swap your defective phone (includes dust). If you read the TOS, it says you have 12 months from the original date of purchase.

Not 14 days. The 14 days is the time you have from the date of receiving the item that you can return the product. As long as it's unopened, you won't be charged a restocking fee.

But if you have dust now, better to do it now as you are likely to get a BNIB replacement since the phone's release has been so recent. 7 months from now I would expect to get a refurbished product. I'd take either as it really won't make a difference, but BNIB means I get an extra battery cover and battery to keep, among the other accessories.
[Nexus One General] John Cipolletti:
New devices many times have production problems no matter where the item is made! In China, where many things are made, from the start, 10% of an item produced will have problem. The brave (and rich?) will risk this. As a programmer (30+ years) and user of expensive gadgets, I spend a lot of time researching these new things (including going to forums). Here are a few comments that can help a purchaser. Wait and see what others say about their purchase. Then try to buy the item from a reputable company that has a return policy and manufacturer warranty. Oh, and purchase it on a credit card that can help you get your money back if things go wrong and you don't get satisfaction.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Here's my experience with replacing the phone.

My phone's Wifi is completely broken and has been since it arrived, as posted about here (video included): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=618764

Anyway, the customer service rep told me that it would be a $45 restocking fee if I wanted to get a refund, or nothing for a replacement.

And since my phone was not working when it arrived, it is considered "DOA" (defective on arrival).

- Within 24 hours, FedEx will email me a prepaid shipping label.

- Print out the label, affix it to a box, and place the phone, including all parts and accessories in it. (Don't keep anything.)

- Drop off at any FedEx location

- 2 business days to arrive at repair facility (Houston)

- As soon as they receive phone, they will ship another phone back

- 2 business days to receive new phone

- Overall: 4 business days to get replacement phone

Here's the email I received before the end of the phone call (fast email!):

Hopefully I should receive the email with the printable shipping label today, and my new phone by Friday.

Question: the rep told me to package everything, yet the email says send ONLY the phone w/o battery and battery cover. Which is it??
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I responded to your questions in your original post.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Just got my Fedex shipping label from HTC. I'll probably send the phone out first thing Tuesday.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Good to hear. Anxiously awaiting mine.
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
If I get a replacement, do they ship me the new phone and I ship them the old one back? I really don't want to be without a phone for a week, and my phone is collecting dust under the screen at a significant rate.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Depends on if you say if it was DOA or not. Check this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=619521
[Nexus One General] bouyark:
I am going to miss the N1 (for now)

Same here. It is going to be very hard going back to MyTouch for a few days. I think it will be well worth the wait getting a new N1 without any dust. With the knowledge in hand, we can seal the leak with some pressure or hair dryer.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I just got my shipping label too.

It looks like they're just mass mailing them all today.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Well according to HTC, that manufacturing defect only affected a small batch of handsets. The replacements won't have that problem, according to the numerous reps I've talked to.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
The rep I spoke to basically BS'd when I asked him about it. "Are all phones shipping out from now going to be dust free?" "Uhh... Yes, HTC is taking the necessary steps to fix this." :rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Fair enough... but I tend to believe them only because not every phone has this issue and it would be very costly for HTC to not make sure this problem is solved going forward.

The other thing that I was told is that when you DOA your phone, the 14 day return period starts again. Maybe if you call again, verify that is the case for DOA's.
[Nexus One General] bouyark:
No point waiting for Tuesday

Looks like FedEx is open tomorrow MLK day. http://fedex.com/us/services/holidayschedule.html

I am dropping mine off, track it and call HTC the day it is received in Huston for them to send me a replacement device next day shipment. By the way, I was told by HTC in the first email and verbally, to return the phone only. No battery, cover, accessories. Can you guys confirm this?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
My email said to return the phone only as well. I believe this email is the same for everyone.

However, the person who I spoke to said to return *everything*. Interesting...
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Same here... everything because it's DOA..
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
bouyark, is your phone considered "DOA"?
[Nexus One General] bouyark:
Yes it is DOA. I am returning only the phone tomorrow. The generic email and subsequent phone conversation with HTC reps (including a supervisor) confirm I should return the phone only. I have names, dates and time of every single rep I spoke with since January 13. If I run into any problems after the return, they will have a legal and public relation fight on their hands.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Ok I just called back a third time. Another person told me send just the phone back (no battery, battery cover, or accessories).

I asked him under what circumstances would someone send the *entire* box back. He said only if there is something wrong with the battery, etc.

So basically, it seems like we really should be sending just the phone part back, unless there's an issue with something more than the phone itself.

- Well, to think about it logically, if I send back the entire box, and I wasn't supposed to, I'll get back a new phone without a battery or accessories, which would suck.

- If I send back just the phone, and I was supposed to send everything, then I'll send the accessories later.

Seems easier to err on the side of sending less stuff...

Is my thinking justified, or am I wrong here?

[Edit]: Also, I'm going to print a copy of the email which clearly says "send the phone only", so I cannot be at fault. ;)
[Nexus One General] :
If I were you guys, I would send EVERYTHING back. No need to give them any reason for rejected the return, or not honoring anything.

If they needed the rest of th stuff it's just gonna delay your exchange longer. If they don't need the worst that will happen is you get your old stuff back.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
OR they send you back a phone without a battery and no accessories, and make you pay for new accessories, battery, battery cover...

- Delaying a few days is better than having to pay for new stuff isn't it?

- Also, why would they want the accessories, when the email clearly says they don't?
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Send in the phone only, stipped down, so no back, battery, memory card, nothing else! Just the stripped down phone! If you send them them extra crap you are not supposed to, odds are you will not get it back, and they will not do anything about it becausse you didn't follow the directions!

Trust me, I help people send in phones all the time for warranty, et al, and every manufacturer says the same thing, just send the stripped down phone! They do this because it costs them less, and is less hassle, to just send back a new phone stipped down, and not have to worry about the box, et al.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Well, I just dropped off my box with the phone only into the Post Office fedex box 45 seconds ago. Let's see what happens!

Thank you for your post! It makes me feel confident that I made the right decision.
