My n1 has it too. Ive tried it now in room with room light and it gives this violett spot when i tak a picture with automatic colorbalance, if i put room light as colorbalance there is no spot...
[Nexus One General] navahoo:
google already knows about that issue and a fix will be released!

"I have great news! The issue has been fixed and should be included in the next update to Android. I say "should" because things can change at the last minute. Keep an eye on your notification bar for a system update."

[Click Android Development] Coburn64:
I was flicking through all the threads in this category and found something that caught my eye regarding SIM Unlocking. Here's a quote from this thread:

Hold it. What's the fastboot option 'simlock' do? Does it control the state if the Tattoo is locked to a SIM, or is it just a feature that can't be used (locked out/disabled)?

If anyone can boot into that menu and see what it does, please let me know. Any thoughts would be helpful too.

I'm sure this isn't illegal as why would HTC have that feature in that menu if it was? :|

[HD2 General] MrMagicMushroom:
You know, your reasons for being attracted to the HD2 is why I bought it. Weighing pros in against WM 6.5, I would hope for 6.6/7 to come along and iron out what I saw a trend was WM 6.5 being the most common negative point with the HD2 in reviews/users. Hell most of them would have been content with Android instead of WM.

For typing, I haven't used a touchscreen device (bar my Zune HD, but no text entry/calling heavy input on that sadly!) since the LG Viewty came out, along side the first Iphone whenever that was. I'm getting used to it but I feel much more competent using the widescreen keyboard by tilting. Did you try it? Predictive text sounds like it would be your thing from the screen you posted, the tutorial is really handy at the start. I can't compare it to using an Iphone but my friends at school say they prefer the HD2 because of the screensize and they make few/no mistakes.

Camera wise, I've made two registry adjustments in connection with Jpeg compression and the MPEG compression, so they are more crisp and detailed. I've seen the pink dot a lot and I can understand why the HTC guy you mentioned doesn't want to admit that's a problem, I haven't noticed it on my device but I've took quite dark pics. You can't really blame the dude, he's just making a living after all! :p I can't comment on web browsing, as I've done very little but I'm okay to use pinch to zoom, I can imagine you'd be frustrated without double tapping fitting the screen correctly. Atleast HTC are keeping to Patents unlike Apple/Nokia eh? :P

For task manager, the quickest method I find is pressing Windows button and it opens the programs list, with the task manager being at the bottom left side of the screen I find that quicker than going into settings, I guess you could make it a quicklink if you wanted?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
It's begining to feel like i'm the only person that has none of the problems that people are posting about, with the exception of the over sensitive screen. (easily tweaked, no problem now)

Lots of people say 'on an iphone such and such works in every app' - yes, because apple forces every developer into a strict code of practice. Winmo may not be perfect, but there is no orwellian overseer watching everything and discarding anything it doesn't like the look of (plus taking 30% of any sales a developer makes, just for the privelage of being allowed to sell through their insanely tightly controlled 'marketplace', , , marketplace? one shop isn't a marketplace, its a shop, one shop, just one.)

IN answer to eaglesteve's negatives.

1 - Keyboard. You are correct, the default one isn't much cop. BUT, there are a number of excellent alternatives, my favourite being swype, which works fantastically well with just a little practice.

2 - CAmera. SOrry, I just don't have a pink spot, and i've tried to see it, really i have. Lots of different lighting conditions, plain white paper, different distances, and it just isn't there on mine.

3 - Excel. Again, the swype keyboard has a very handy keypad style screen with arrows, cut,copy,past, home, end, and a lovely 'select text' button which when toggled on lets the arrows select not just excel cells, but files in lists, words in documents, etc.

4 - Precision text selection. (Swype's text selection ignored for the moment) The magnifying selection box can be enabled with a simple registry tweak of changing a 0 to a 1.

5 - SCroll bar not being the same in all aps. OK, this one you are correct, BUT, thats because it is an open marketplace, not controlled by one egomaniac forcing the developers to all play by his rules or not at all.

6 - Task switching. It takes a minute or so to set up, but place a shortcut to taskmanager in the start menu, then that alows you to add it as a shortcut on the home screen. Result = press home key to get to home screen, then open taskman from there, two presses admittedly, but still no more than 3 seconds work.

7 - Jailbreaking. Goes back to the orwellian aspect of the iphone, you shouldn't NEED to jailbreak something you have paid good money for, you should be free to do as you please with it, and not have the manufactirer try and thwart you at every software update.

Not that I want to sound like i'm glorifying the HD2, it's all about preference, i just wanted to point out that your 'cons' aren't actually the big deal they may appear at first glance.
[HD2 General] Lynehammike:
Keyboard: I use TouchPal, but the basic keyboard is fine - particularly if you have the predictive text working (it would have given you perfect results). {Note it does support mutli touch on the keyboard.}

Camera: no problems with mine (no pink spot). There was a patch to fix the problem on the HTC website (for those unlucky enough to have the problem)

Brower: Double-Tapping will reflow the text - I had no problems with the Sydney Morning Herald site.

Excel: You can select multiple cells via the Menu -> Edit -> Make selection.

Task switcher: There are quite a few switchers such as Xtask for WM6.5 (and WM6.5.5). The shop assistant is clearly a idiot as they are simple programs and no "Jailbraking" (custom ROM?) is required.

Re "poor imitation of iphone gestures" - text select has been around in the WM world since it began. Yes, it is dated. No it is not an imitation of the iphone.
[HD2 General] eaglesteve:
Lynehammike,

Actually, the predictive text failed to correct the mistake. It appears that the error correction algorithm is not good enough. The only way to type correctly with the HD2's stock keyboard is to type very slowly and look carefully at where you touch the screen.

Are the vast majority of Leo owners having the pink camera problem or only a handful of unluckly ones? I remember vaguely that Nexus' camera also have exactly the same problem, so is this caused by faulty hardware then? I can imagine how costly it would be for HTC to mass recall the phones and replace the hardware. I wonder if they could use the software to manipulate the color in order to eliminate the pink hue?

No, double tapping does not reflow the text correctly. I tried both IE and Opera and know for a fact that they do not reflow correctly.

I'd go back and try the multicell selection the way you describe. Thanks for the tips.

The shop keeper did show me a task switcher, but task switching simply involves too many steps. With my iPhone, I simply double press the home key to immediately see the list of runnig task, and switch to any one, or kill anyone there. This works regardless of whether the taskbar is visible or not. And it would not kill off a process to cause the device to freeze.

There is really nothing to jailbreaking. It is as simple as running a cab file in winmo device, and nowhere near the complexity of Hard SPL and cooked ROM flashing.

Application programmers who detest the tight control of Apple, and do not wish to seek Apple's approval for the program they write can always take the Cydia route, which is itself a hugh application market. Really there is no real issue that needs worrying about. Upgrading from one Apple firmware to another is a piece of cake, and both App Store and Cydia's applications could be reinstalled automatically without any loss of settings or data after re-jailbreaking.

I really like the screen and CPU of Leo. I wish it can run Android OS. Nexus' hardware somehow does not appeal to me enough. Not as much as Leo's anyway.
[HD2 General] eaglesteve:
I just read from this post that

"they(HTC) just covered the (pink hue) problem with some smart image correction settings. Same cannot be said for motion capture where the said algorighm would most likely slow down the capture and result in dropped frames at the highest settings and that's probabbly the reason why the defect is still visible on video captures ie the patch doesn't fix video capture"

I didn't occur to me to test the video also, but looks like the pink hue problem also applies to videos.

My 2 Cents

Hi steve, good to see u after u1000

I can just say that for a fast input and errorfree and most accurate, i use swype.I dont think so iphone can ever compete with that.I can type @ 100 wpm with swype and same goes for android.

well there are many task managers, available to let u switch among the tasks.

iPhone has safari so WM has lot of options with opera 10, which i guess iphone cannot have in near future.

Ability to visit sites like rapidshare.com and download big 100 mb files and save them to 16 gig storage card, i gues no OS can even think of it as of now.

Pich and zoom can work almost everywhere and it is more than perfect in excel, helping browsing, selecting rows, copy paste them, editing formulas(I am a sales head, so have to check lot of sales reports hence i prefer big screen)

Battery life is better thaniphone 3gs and it doesnt get hot loke iphone 3gs.Compass is also awesome, can be used in google maps(I guess in iphone to use compass in maps, a patch is needed and can be done only by jail break)

and of course upgrade to WM7, will make it more than perfect :d

I suggest, have a relook at it, and am sure u will get it :)
[HD2 General] kivine:
Do u have XT9 on in the first place , judging on the screenshot? I tried doing a test and mine work perfectly well. even if i intentionally key in the wrong keywords provided in your screenshot, they autocorrect-ed for mine.
[HD2 General] Lynehammike:
I agree with Kivine - in the photo you have definately dissabled the predictive text.

for reflow: double tapping works (with a small caveat). If you tap next to a photo - it does appear to reflow only the margins of the text next to the photos. If you double tap below the photo area it will reflow correctly.

Cheers,

Michael
[HD2 General] eaglesteve:
Lynehammike and Kivine,

You mean the XT9 must turn green on the keyboard for it to work correctly? If so, I'd go back to give it another try. Thanks for the tips.
[HD2 General] eaglesteve:
Hey hdubli,

How are you mate. Good to see you here again!

100 wpm?? Are you serious? Sorrry, no offence, you would have to put up a youtube demo for me to believe you.

As to browser, there are at least 10 on the iPhone that I've been using and comparing. You have far better browser on the iPhone, sorry, it's true. Apple does not have 130,000 fart applications you know ;). You can probably find at least 30 browsers around, whereas you get probably about 5 in winmo platform?

As to saving hugh files from sites such as rapidshare, I do it all the time on my iPhone.

Device getting hot happens to my Athena, Touch HD, and iPhone occassionally. Not really a problem specific to any platform I think.

Compass on googlemap has always been there in 3GS since day one without patch. Did somebody tell you that only jailbroken phone can do that?

Yes, the promise that it will be upgraded to WM7 is a reason why I take an interest in Leo. However, I'm not sure if this is a smart thing, as WM7 is always in the horizon like a mirage in the desert, with availability date that is being pushed back all the time, to be replaced by WM6.X. I now do harbour serious doubt about Microsoft's technical abiliity to deliver, and question what they're doing. Here they have WM7, then there is a zune phone, and a pink phone.... I sure hope they know what they 're trying to do... At the moment, the real competition is between google and apple in the mobile phone area, with MS reduced to a mere pawn swept to the side, IMO. Unless MS comes back with something really good and really soon, they might just completely disappear from the scene, I'm afraid. Apple certainly does not see MS as a rival anymore in the smartphone business. The only credible rival is Google. That's why Apple is now trying to team up with MS, and to use Bing instead of Google as the default search engine in iPhone. You know what they say? The enemy of my enermy is my friend. It's an intereting world.
[HD2 General] hdubli:
Hi there.

Well I will not argue and start a debate on WM Vs iphone :), but my experience of 3 years of iphone and 8 years of WM and 2 years of android tells me that WM is still a better of all three.More freedom.

I can only say that the users report more and more problems on iphone, and all the iphones magic is on jailbreak else there is nothing. :)

You can get a youtube video to watch on wmpoweruser.com for hd2 and it is really very fast, i abandoned all my hard keyboard phones. :)

I suggest look it again from all the angles, basically the freedom which u will get, right from custom roms to apps, and lot of things which u already know, and I hope you will come back to the flavour again :)

Hi,

since i never type anything in portrait and i liked how the landscape of manila 2.1 looked, i was always hoping for a full landscape-only rom with the sense gui. and by full i mean no portrait available... or at least only through third party tweaking programs:D

the autorotate for music and album in sense is just not made for our hardware. its so slow and laggy. and when it has finally finished rotating the scrolling is also no fun. i hope the chefs disable this in their future roms.

Does anyone know a rom like this or are there any cooks who would produce something like this??

thx

maxmanila is a whole theme... and i dont want it to rotate. it should be landscape by default.

anyway thanks for the hint. will try.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] FrEcP:
take a rom with a landscape capable manilla (if 2.5 just the latest are for all tabs) and deactivate the autorotate function.

could have found that by search function:

also have a look here for the gdi value...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=447290

as it cant be changen in "windows-settings -> system -> screen" anymore as i just noticed

and it should be fine...

but u will get the slow music and picture tab as manilla 2.5 is designes this way there is no other landscape for - otherwise take 2.1
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] accountabc:
actually with the new manilla 2.5.1922 the landscape tabs for music and pictures are different from the ones in previous 2.5 settings. They kinda look like the manilla 2.1 ones.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] LiamThompson:
Yeah, I just started a post looking for a cab or reg edit to disable the rotation on the music, documents and photos tabs on the new manila 2.5 1922 too, those reg keys are not the same as in the new manila.

Partition Fat32/Ext2 with App2SD

Open up Apps2SD

It will show you a screen telling you that your card is not partition and you will have a sliding bar to choose the amount of space you want for an EXT2 partition

I suggest a max of 600mb for EXT2 space (I use 500mb)

Press Ok

You will get a Force Close screen DONT PRESS FORCE CLOSE PRESS WAIT

You will get a reboot message, Press Reboot

You now have a EXT2 partition

If you get a error about run via console or something you should remove sd blow the slot then place the card back in. Your sd might be the prob though so see if anything changes.

Yes it does say run via console, blew the slot several times and same thing, even blew on the SD card and nothing :-(

Perhaps it is time to change out this SD for a newer one, could be its going out on me?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
You just need to find out your carriers MMS settings and enter them in the phone. MMS do not use one's internet plan, they use the MMS settings and data services, then you either get charged per MMS or if you have an MMS plan, based off that.
