Hi,

One thing that annoys me on the HD2 is the volume screen.

Is it possible to have the volume icrease/decrease only as on overlay?

With Coreplayer increasing/decreasing the volume (from landscape mode) pause the video. I'd like to be able to increasedecrease the volume without ausing anytg and going thrugh that HTC volume screen thingy.

Doable?

Thanks

same problem here, i hate pausimg the video play to ajust the volume. on the diamnd was simple up down for volume of coreplayer but the hd2, no dpad :( not even a trackball like on android phones
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arturobandini:
You can use the shortcuts function in coreplayer.

In CorePlayer go to Tools / Shortcuts.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] awillys:
Someone just posted a solution. I tried and it works almost perfect. Almost because the volume bar does not rotate to landscape view. But that's alright ^^

Does anyone know if it is possible to Change the Icon used for Internet Bookmarks on the Sensse UI? I much prefer touch.facebook.com for accessing Facebook (If you haven't tried it - it's far better than WM application) but the Internet Page Screen scrape used as the Icon is really Naff. I've looked through forum but not found anything on this subject? Ideas anyone? I'd liek to use a custom Icon, maybe one of the many great icons published on these forums.

I just downloaded a map from Sugarbush Ski mountain in Vermont so I'd have it handy when skiing there. Unfortunately, when I zoom in the image is so blurry that I can't really read the text. The same map looks fine on my desktop computer.

Unfortunately I can't post a link to the map because the XDA developer's site won't allow me to (you can't post links until you've made 5 other posts to the forum). Just google 'Sugarbush' and you will be able to find the static trail map image. Someone else who's been around here longer could post the link in a follow up message.

I've tried viewing it in multiple programs (standard browser, Dolphin browser, gallery view), and all show the same problem.

Can other Nexus one owners confirm that they have the same issue?

Any suggestions?
[Nexus One General] vas41:
I think android might downsize/downconvert images automatically so you will not be getting the original resolution of the image.

UPDATE:I can confirm that the image is definitely lower resolution than the one that appears on desktop. Here is the link:

I just mounted my Nexus via USB and checked the file that I'd downloaded to it. The actual file stored on the Nexus One is full resolution and displays fine on the PC. It's just on the Nexus that it fails to display well.

This seems more like a bug then a feature.

I just made a simple 2000x1000 graphic with two strings of text, one aliased and the other antialiased with a crosshatched background.

/img22/9896/2000x10005pxcheckerboar.jpg

You can clearly see how blurry both lines of text and the crosshatches are when you zoom in on the android browser or in the gallery. It looks like there is either a huge amount of compression being applied to the image, or that the image is being resized for viewing and the blur effect is due to a loss of detail that you don't get back when you zoom in.

I don't know if imageshack has a bandwidth limit, but here is the same image on imgur.com. You can see the extra effects of blurring, though you also see a lot of jpeg artifacting from the high compression imgur apparently automatically applies.

hello

im looking to buy a new phone in about a month and im deciding between the nexus one and the iphone. i currently have a HTC Touch Diamond and i have suffered quite a bit with this phone and im doubting the quality of the products that htc makes. i have read all the reviews and the specs and im still finding it hard to choose so i want to find out from u guys here if it is actually the perfect phone or it comes with glitches, and the occasional freezing.
[Nexus One General] rockyxda:
If you do want a phone with 3G glitches, faulty software and occasional freezes / reboots then be sure to buy the iPhone. Ask my wife about her wonderful iPhone :)

Seriously though, just about every modern phone has some flaws and requires a restart every now and again ... its progress :D

iPhone simple and capable with loads of apps and support, sort of a "Tomy - My First Phone"

Android edgy and capable with loads of apps but not as many as iphone (most companies will release to the iPhone first due to the huge base of customers who will buy).

If you are happy having a simple interface with no options of customisation and are happy never being able to do anything your own way or take shortcuts then the iPhone is for you.

If you are happy to do a bit of tinkering and customise your phone then the Android is for you.
[Nexus One General] saffad:
Both are amazing phones and look good and are easy to use. Specs wise Nexus one wins hands down.

If you love google and use Gmail, contacts, etc. And if you dont like iTunes and stuff then Nexus One is definetly the way to go.

But if you like all the crazy apps thats out on the iphone seems quite good for that, however Nexus One has got some really good apps aswell! A lot of people say iPhone is still easier to use. But I would say nexus one is just as easy and highly customizable which is cool.

All comes down to personal preference...

iPhone is obviously more stable seeing as OS 4 is going to come out whereas Android is 2.1, iPhone has less bugs and stuff im guessing..But Nexus one should be no trouble as your everyday phone and internet device!
[Nexus One General] hassan:
I always fund iPhone really boring, with out jailbreak there isn't much in it.

Lots of apps and what else? I never had able to figur it out :confused:. If you coming from windos mobile i think you should get Nexus. You would love it.

I've been using WM since 1997 (PPC).

I've got my Nexus One yeasterday its my first Android device, i like it.
[Nexus One General] dragonoflight:
as far i saw iphone is mostly problem free and i want a phone with causes a little problems a possible but i have been with xda for more than 1 year and have gotten into the habit of customising so a phone with a little change in interface would be nice. the quality of the apps u get in the iphone is extremely good, u always get a nice colour full, smooth and simple interface. i personaly dont know about android apps but my experience of windows mobile apps is that they are ****. they come with 1980 style buttons and some times they don't even fit on ur screen cos thy were build with the developers looking at a different phone and the apps are expensive. so you see i don't want to go through that again.
[Nexus One General] bugsy:
I'm not sure there is anything such as the perfect phone since everyone has some different interpretation of what that is. I just received my Nexus One yesterday and I'm switching from the iphone, although I have extensive experience with winmo, palm and symbian. A few observations:

Build Quality: this is the best built phone I've seen in a long time. It has the exceptionally solid feel of the iphone, but still gives you the removable battery feature and expandable storage. In addition, it just feels great in the hand, nicely rounded with great build materials. Just overall top notch build and feel.

Software: I spent yesterday evening looking at the applications on my iphone and trying to find comparable ones on Android. I was successful for about 90% of what I use. The applications may look a little different, but the functionality is essentially the same and I haven't had any issues so far. There are a couple that I couldn't yet replace like the kindle app, cnn and the NY times, but I expect they'll be there eventually. A few others like ewallet have equivalent products on android such as splashid.

Useability: The iphone is dead simply which is both a strength and a weakness. I've always found it to be a little too easy and the lack of customization was frustrating as well as the lack of multitasking. I've always found the multitasking issue rather humorous since so much of the tech industry used to point this out as a weakness in the palm os and now the iphone has the same weakness years later and it's not an issue for the writers...go figure. The N1 is not quite as simple as the iphone and you'll probably spend a little more time getting used to it and setup the way you want, but you'll end up with a phone that meets your personal needs as opposed to someone else's view of your needs.

Overall I'm finding it to be a top notch phone that I expect will only get better as the OS continues to evolve. Google seems to be on a pretty regular update cycle and it continues to evolve. As the os attracts more users the applications will continue to grow as well.

One final word. I wouldn't equate the winmo htc experience with what you'll have with an android htc device. Winmo definitely contributes to issues with some of the htc phones. This device is in a whole different league.
[Nexus One General] dragonoflight:
here is few questions if you guys could answer it would be really helpful

does it freeze or have problems when running multiple apps?

do the apps have nice interface and are thy smooth?

does it lag alot?

and i herd mutitouch is coming to the google phone does anyone know when?
[Nexus One General] joners:
does it freeze or have problems when running multiple apps? - Nope for me its been pretty smooth, no stuttering at all, Apps open very quickly.

do the apps have nice interface and are thy smooth? - yes most do, there are one or two that do not scale well to the larger screen, these will be fixed with updates, just waiting on the devs to resolve.

does it lag alot? - no lag for me what so ever.

and i herd mutitouch is coming to the google phone does anyone know when?

- no one knows, its been demo'd on the European version of the Nexus One. However you can have multitouch browsing using either a custom ROM (soon to be released) or the Dolphin Browser (free download from the market place).
[Nexus One General] bradyonly:
I know exactly what you're going through with your WinMo and HTC. I had multiple problems with the two just barely working at all. Android is so different but so much easier to find things in. I've played with iPhones and yeah they're fun for a bit but I have a friend with one that has had it for a couple months and is already starting to get bored with it. He says he's jealous of my Android and how much more I can do with it. It always looks different each time he looks at it.
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
I can tell youre trying to compare the Nexus One to your diamond because Ive used that phone and know what youre talking about with the lag and freezing and theres simply no comparison between the N1 and diamond, if you do get it you will be simply amazed.
[Nexus One General] tripplejg:
I own a nexus, g1, iPhone 2g, and a touch pro 2. I can easily say in terms of speed, battery life, and overall enjoyment, the nexus is easily king. The keyboard is on par with the iPhone as far as usibility, which I could never say about the g1's onscreen. You can still sync your iTunes library with the correct software, it's the best mobile web browsing experiance I've had to date.

Simply put, nexus one ftw!
[Nexus One General] dragonoflight:
i think il wait to see how the muti touch on the nexus one turns out. thanks for all ur help!!!
[Nexus One General] bfspider:
bigger screen, higher resolution, brighter, prettier, easier to unlock and root... none of this cat and mouse crap with apple and the dev team...

I'm sure there are other things to compare..

oh yeah!!! the N! has bluetooth stereo stream and the iphone doesnt...

but, apple is gonna announce a new iphone this feb... so... up to you if you want to wait or not.
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
The N1 has a 1 Ghz proc, vs iPhone's 600 Mhz,

an 800x480 screen vs iphone's 480x320 (There are as many pixels shoved in the short side of the N1's screen as there are on the entire tall side of the iphone's screen, it's been widely cited as the best looking screen right now, with bright whites and colors and blacks like velvet. It can play full 720p HD video in this resolution.),

512 mb RAM vs. the iPhone's 256 mb, though of course you probably don't need it on the iPhone as you can't even run more than one app at a time (clearly, the iPhone is not a computer)

However, the nexus one doesn't have as many apps. The apps it does have are incredible, though, and you can emulate SNES, download torrents, Remote-desktop to your PC from anywhere with 3G/wifi, run a wireless tether without much trouble. Generally, the kind of stuff Apple would never let you get away with. While Apple has some cooler games, their utilities simply don't stack up.
[Nexus One General] stealthchicken75:
I know EAXCTLY what you're talking about in terms of HTC and WinMo. I just upgraded from the HTC Touch to the Nexus One. There simply is no comparison, Android is an entirely different animal than WinMo.

As for iPhone vs the N1, the N1 beats it by far in terms of raw specs. In terms of OS vs OS the difference is that with the iPhone you're forced to play in Apple's little sandbox. Highly regulated app store, no "real" customization to speak of. This has the benefit of being an extremely stable and polished OS but if you're used to making things "your own" like I am, it's just not fun.

This is the first Android phone I've had, been using it for almost a week now and I will never look back. I LOVE it. Some of the apps aren't quite as good as they are on the iPhone in no small part due to the nature of Android itself. Developers have to worry about supporting multiple phone specifications and networks. It's

very

comparable to the Mac vs PC argument. PCs require a bit more maintenance and attention while giving you TONS of options while Macs give you stability and TONS of polish with a bit more limited options.

*Edit*

You mentioned multi-touch, the phone fully supports it at the hardware level. The only "problem" is that it's not supported natively in Google's own apps (everyone assumes this has to do with some legal concern of Google's). Developers can use the API in their apps to fully take advantage of this support and many already do. I use the Dolphin Browser over the one that comes pre-loaded and the multi-touch in it is FANTASTIC. Best part is that unlike the iPhone it auto re-scales things for you to keep them readable.
[Nexus One General] hassan:
I hoping to get multi touch as soon as N1 Euro out via custom roms. :D
[Nexus One General] SystmDcln:
Nexus could be superior all around if our apps would mature a bit more. Yes we're growing in apps, but they lack polish. You can look at many of our apps and go "Yeah thats clearly made by an engineer". They work great, but one reason the IPhone sells is because it is pure sexy in just about all forms.
[Nexus One General] ~~Tito~~:
The iPhone and the Nexus One are two different beasts, multi touch is something you dont use that often as you think when you are on the iPhone. When I had the iPhone(1st gen) multi touch was on, the kb, the browser, the photo viewer, and later on gimmicky apps that just came out.
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
I think of the iPhone more like a PS3 whereas android phones are more like a computer
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
iphone or android?

its how tech savy you are, ad how much you want to learn ot use something.

the iphone is simple. you hit a button, it responds instantely and it does exactly what it said it was going to do.

andriod is more advanced. alot more ways to customize it but it comes with a learning curve. this curve isnt as bad as the winmo one but it does exsist.

so it comes down to power vs simplicity. id go for power
[Nexus One General] bobdude5:
my gf had the diamond it was awful..get the nexus one..i had the iphone 3g and it was a great phone but the homescreen was just awful!!! no organization at all!

and as for multitouch..it is supported as of android 2.0..there are already lots of apps that utilize multitouch on the android market..and for pinch zoom use the dolphin browser..it looks and feels like firefox.

[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
Is there anything out there to mimic the Blackberry feature of locking the device and switching off the screen when the phone is put in the pouch?
[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
Anyone? It would seem like a feature which should be standard given the way the proximity sensor is used in-calls...
[HD2 General] ghost-5:
as far as I know the blackberry use's magnets for the lock / sleep. I can see problems if you use the proximity/light sensor, as if you are using in a car at night for example it would conitnuely lock

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HishamN:
Hi,

I have HTC Magic ROM support Arabic greatly, I extracted it and i found many libs and files some it begin with ParfieldIME (.apk, .odex and .so)

I'm wondering if it applicable to grab these files and port it to HTC Hero to support my native language or not?

I'm using MCR 3.1 with HTC UI but I would use KaguDroid-1.0beta-signed if port will not work with MCR 3.1 and it will work with KaguDroid-1.0beta-signed.

I tried to push some ParfieldIME files to MCR 3.1 but Mu Hero hanging at HTC logo, I did the same with KaguDroid and Hero start with no problems but nothing changed no support for my native language.

I'll appreciate any help and I'm happy to donate anyone helping me to solve this problem.

Best regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
I tried that .. didn't work :\

i'm thinking of enabling UTF-8 as the main encoding of the system when compiling.. because basically the problem with Arabic and Android is only encoding !!

I'll try this once I have free time << unfortunately not near :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HishamN:
I think UTF-8 enabled because changing the font resolve part of problem, Arabic letters appear correctly except it's not connected!

But Magic ROM display connected letters!

I think the problem in reshape letter because some Dev recompiled libwebcore.so to solve this problem and I need to know which lib is responsible to reshape all TXT in system.

Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
Hmm, you have a point regarding the libraries..

BTW, etisalat magic ROM is "donut" Android 1.6, right ??

Is it make different?

If I press and hold on the "mydocument.docx" in file manager the pop up menu doesn't have the print option in it. So I can't print it...

I'm not being rude, I just can't figure it out! :o

not tried this

but have you tried renaming the docx to just .doc?? might give it a go later

Hi,

Mavis you're on to something.

Re naming it doesn't work but setting Word to use .doc as "default template" (in Options) does the job :)

Only problem being is any document I bring in from the PC is gonig to be .docx :(

Hello,

sound is gone on my S200. Yesterday it all worked just fine, I was listening to some music on the headphones, and this morning I tried to call my gf, and noticed that I have no sound on the device.

The phone rings when somebody is calling me, so I assume its not the speaker, at least not the one on the back.

I can't hear a thing when I call somebody and microphone doesn't seem to be working either. I haven't dropped the phone recently.

Music is only playing via the headphones, same for calls.

Any ideas? I took the back cover off and took a look at the speaker, it seems to be fine, and as I mentioned it rings when somebody calls me.

Could this be a ROM issue? Using WM 6.5
