metal Detector for HTC HD2

idea & code: 6Fg8

artwork: youmeus

​

supported devices

HTC HD2, nothing else!

How it works

The built-in compass uses the earth's magnetic field to calculate the deviation from magnetic north. As with every compass, if you put a piece of metal nearby, it gets deviated. Thats what i use here to detect metal.

Testing

Place your device flat on a surface. After starting the app, the gauge should show zero. If it doesnt, take your device and write a couple of "eights" in the air (this is to get rid of magnetism which might get stuck in the sensors).

Then use a pair of scissor or something the like and move it slowly to the right side of your device. At a distance of approx. 5 cm. the gauge should start to move. Take your device and move it with its right side near metals, and see if the gauge shows values.

very nice,will test it ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
Hey DJ, always one of the first :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] djcedric:
i try to see it all you know,btw i really like to follow you and what your dooing again and of course very impressed as i know its coming from a girl ;)

Tested and working fine,also when i turn my device to the right the nail is gooing up but when the device is flat its working fine,thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bulla666:
works ok but if you turn device up side down it dosn't work:/
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] javielo1974:
And if you turn your deviceupside down you can´t see the screen...

Works awesome, but need a better interface...:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] samsamuel:
Yes it does....

Good job, lol, nice little plaything
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Russiwluv:
Cool device man! Keep on the good job...

are there already results? Can we say that this app is accurate?

I can use it very good but I need to rely on it that it shows the right values...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] madindehead:
Um, how can this work? I thought it was a digital compass that was in the phone, not a genuine magnetic compass... Not doubting your hard work here. I just didn't think it was a genuine physical compass in either the HD2 or the iPhone.

Sorry, a bit confused.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] samsamuel:
It is a real sensor, a magneto-inductive sensor that can pick up the earths magnetic field and work out its direction of flow, and hence north. Although we think of them as 'digital compasses', they are more accurately 'electronic compasses' with no moving parts.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] secoseco:
Hello Madam

Thank you for this magnificent application

I think it should be added to the benefits of this application is to make sure that the compass does not have a magnetic effect before use to ensure the accuracy of the compass
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] youmeus:
f-ing cool...keep up the good work. If you need some stuff designed so that it looks pretty send me a PM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] KiranMantripragada:
Amazing ...

Absolutely amazing !!

I am new to the HTC devices and I was being just a regular user (also curious)...

After that I'll start program for this devices too !

Fantastic job ! Congrats !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] foney:
works great, but items need to be about 1-2 cm for me for the needle to move :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] starbase64:
Hi,

great app, please make decibel meter also.

with friendly greet

starbase64
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Jealousy:
yeah, missing a WM dB meter for ages now :)

btw: fantastic app - just got some 'omfg' on my mom´s face
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
There's a real, physical magnetic compass in the device. Its an AK8976A from Asahi Kasei company. Here is a link to the manufactorer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
Right, unfortunately this cant be done with a button click. Take your device and write some "eights" in the air (like waving a friend :))

I'd really appreciate some good ideas to make it cool looking, so thanks for the offer. Only thing i'd like to keep is the gauge-style.

Thats what i expected, the detection algorithm is far from perfect.

Some guys already did that, look for "PocketRTA Ultra". Amazing piece of software. link
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antoniomistretta:
Amazing! Sis, very nice!

Thanks for your works! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Zivsal:
Bravo. It looks promising and i will be looking forward for the final version.:)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Araviel:
Hi all, before thanks for all the community do (and sorry for my bad english ^^)

I've an HTC Blue Angel with 6.5.2 rom clean with manila + the black skin mix theme and a lot of buttons not responding like Add location in the weather tab, add people case and internet tab with youtube, i can TAP and the button flashlight but nothing happens.

Ive installed all manila needs htc animation, middleware, scroll etc

A lot of others app works well but i dont understand why theses ones doesn't work.

I need to install complement files ?

Thanks in advance.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
You need to make sure that you install all the packages in the right order or else they will not work. Go to the M2D thread by whiteAlien (in the Dev and Hacking section) and read the first couple of posts on installation procedures and needed installation cabs. Good luck.
[Palm Treo 750] guilhermek:
Hi People, I`ve upgraded my Treo 750 (both Hard SPL, and 6.5 23017), and after I finished the process my Treo did not connect to 3G, only to GPRS, maybe that happened because I`m in Brasil using Claro as my Carrier, so I tried to downgrade back to 6.0, but it can`t connect to the PC (which i could do with 6.0), and it can`t access the SD card (FAT32):mad:, even the bootloader can`t find the 6.0 .NBH which is in there, so if anyone knows how to fix this, it`ll be great.

Thanks.

The bootloader is the 1.40, but i can`t change it since i cannot connect to the PC

I`m using Windows 7 if it`s any help.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DreamGuy:
Ok on our home wifi for added security I have disabled SSID broadcasting but have coded the connection parameters for our wifi in all our devices that use wifi. Every device we have can connect at will with SSID broadcasting disabled except for this new HTC Magic Rogers sent me a few days ago :confused:

When I go to the Magic's wireless settings page it says the following about our wifi...

"Not in range, remembered"

If I log in to my wireless AP and enable SSID broadcasting the Magic connects right away as you would expect but like I said I disable SSID broadcasting for security reasons and prefer to keep it that way.

Any ideas on a fix other than enabling SSID broadcasting?

.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] audioeng:
Hiding your SSID does not provide any additional security, any hacker can find out your SSID in a matter of seconds. Just use WPA2 with a strong key and you will be fine. Two good articles about hiding SSID

[Hero, G2 Touch General] butterdori:
I've reached 100 hours now..

But I bet I'm one of the lower ones.. since I received my hero only a few days ago

What is your current uptime?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cymru:
This is such a ridiculous thread to make...

But yeah, 74 hours is mine.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thomas.A:
Lol @ thread! :-D

Mine is now at 591hours, 39min, 34sec.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Currently 132:50:38, but I have had it above 300 hrs (12.5 days by my reckoning). By that point there's always some compelling thing needing flashed :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rdgut:
I can see that you've just got it.

Your awake time is high.

When I first got it I had problems with getting it under 60% :P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] midas2k3:
i am currently at 967 hrs uptime with 60 hrs awake time. :)

Phone is running very sweetly now since I got rid of the weather/clock widget off the front screen.

I am getting an average of between 4 to 5 days out of the battery too with moderately light use of web viewing and chatting..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ZED_pt:
and what battery is that?

u must be days without turning the phone on...

just making calls no wifi or gprs and all i get is 3 days top,most of the time 2 days and sometimes a day and a few hours more.

Boring days at work i use the entire battery in 16 hours or less surfing web,instant messenger,rss,etc...

guess i over use it :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] walkinhotdog:
Yea i usually get 2-2.5 days off of a charge with moderate use. Playing games drains it fast. I find that i need to restart my phone every couple days to keep it running smoothly. Minor annoyances start to appear after a while.
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] shad9w:
Hi I've got a problem with customisation on WM6.5. I have Samsung OmniaLite (B7300) and I can't run any theme on it, even the preloaded ones. I also can't change icons nor menus. Anyone knows what might be the problem? Is something wrong with my ROM or maybe my carrier blocked it?
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] (eDDy):
have you checked if the theme is for Windows Mobile 6.5 and for wqvga screen?

I just purchased the HTC HD2, fantastic phone! but I've notice that when I receive and email (Gmail) and have read it, it only manages to stick around for a moment before its gone and I have no mail to RE: to?

I've gone into inbox and tried view all-mail but can't seem to view either past or all emails? the only ones that seem to accumulate are unread ones.

Is there a way I can view all mail or past emails...
[HD2 General] Lake292:
check your imap/pop3 settings... i download mails with pop3 and automaticly archive them into all mail
[HD2 General] patton82:
Go into account settings and set Gmail account to download all messages, or last 30 days messages (by default 3 days)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bronskimac:
I am using my Wizard on an O2 iPhone contract. Calls and sms are working fine but I can't get connected to GPRS Internet. The settings I am using are:

AP: idata.o2.co.uk

user name: vertigo

password: password

Anyone know if I can connect with the Wizard and, if I can, the settings I need to use?

Sorry if this has already been answered, I did search before posting.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bog.moggy:
After much fiddling and inputting and grumbling on my part,O2 finally admitted that GPRS is not supported on this mobile either as contract or payasyougo. They wouldn't say why.
[HD2 General] pradeeplukka:
Is there any tweak or app to save all the contacts to the SD card from phone?
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Not that I know of.. but what would be the point?
[HD2 General] aimonlocker:
you can use SPB Backup > Custom Backup to backup all the PIMs into SD card as a self-extract file, but that will include all the tasks, appointment as well
[Nexus One General] Ooglez:
While I know that it would not be a good idea at all to flash my G1's system or boot images to my Nexus One, I'm wondering if it's possible to flash my G1's userdata image to my N1, which comes in tomorrow.

Thanks for the help
[Nexus One General] veive:
If you are talking about things like your contacts and calendar, that will sync automatically.

I would recommend against flashing it, if you don't have the same apps installed and since you (probably) won't be using the same OS build, there could be differences in the partition that could cause problems.
[Nexus One General] Ooglez:
Nah, I meant things like my wireless networks, texts, etc. I can deal with starting over, was just curious if anyone had done it before.

I can im on super d 1.8 with elegance theme on t-mobile.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Of course but you must be on 3G, because 2G/Edge will only allow one or the other. Im guessing your using speaker phone since you plan on using both, considering the phone goes to your ear unless you have a BT headset.

Oh i didnt know you could use the phone while using 3g. i just found out earlier today. Thanks.

[HD2 Accessories] Krisbo:
Check out eBay dude

I ordered one from DealExtreme but be warned that it might take a month before you get it in hands

SKU 13760

MSI BGP100 Bluetooth Gamepad (1*AAA Battery Included)

$25.10

Of course, you could buy the same thing from eBay - for $35

If you get the $12 EMS shipping when ordering from DX you should get it quicker too, it's the free shipping that takes a couple of weeks. I ordered mine yesterday BTW.
[HD2 Accessories] BenGman:
Max # of connected Gamepads?

Hello,

What is the max number gamepads that the HD2 can handle at one time?

Also, I have a BT keyboard that works great. Anyone used the gamepad and a BT keyboard together for multiplayer gaming?

I am planning to purchase a gamepad, and possibly more than one... would like to know soon.

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 Accessories] kilrah:
Just got shipping notice.
[HD2 Accessories] Audio Oblivion:
Does anyone know if there are other alternatives to the MSI one?
[HD2 Accessories] BenGman:
There is an app that allows you to use one WM phone to control another and even use it as a joystick:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=634675

My current plan is to use an HP hw6925 as a joystick/keyboard for the HD2 (too bad I didn't find this software before I purchased a BT keyboard).

When I test the possibility of using 2 WM phones as joysticks for the HD2 I'll decide on still getting 1/2 gamepads.
[HD2 Accessories] chrism_scotland:
Anyone got their pad yet?
[HD2 Accessories] eDaniel:
I'm still waiting for mine ...
[HD2 Accessories] Audio Oblivion:
Thanks... ive seen that app but yet to try it.

What im really after is a competitor to the MSI BGP100... i have one and think it could/should be so much better! Surely there is someone else out there who makes these products?
[HD2 Accessories] waz000000:
Ive got one of the MSI pads, Waste of money. 6 buttons with only 4 usuable!

Be very cautions with deal extreme.

I've ordered mine in the beginning of February because they said the item was in stock. "Item in stock" remained at the item's description until now and even after I tried to contact them since last week with no answer, the item's description changed today to "temporary stock shortage".

I'm going to try to buy it somewhere else because I won't wait so much time at dealextreme.

[Off-topic] cmstackar:
The other day firefox stopped loading webpages. No error or anything, just stopped. Windows still says im connected to the internet, but nothing really connects. Steam doesn't load(complains of lack of internet, same with IE and opera), yet windows refuses to believe im not connected, going to device manager and disabling my network card didn't fix it, and updating the driver magically worked, but still the same problem. Turned off antivirus, checked firewall, everything, still can't seem to fix it. Any ideas?
[Off-topic] pegun:
Have you tried a reinstall? Does IE or Opera work for you when connecting to the internet? Is there a definite connection to the internet or is the connection to a switch/router? First point of failure is at the wall, then hardware, then software.

Is it possible to detect which hardware version a certain HTC phone is? Like if it is a RHOD100, RHOD210, RHOD300? Or if it is a T7373 or T7377?

I don't mean going by what the ROM says, because you can flash a T7373 ROM on a T7377 and the T7377 will think it is a T7373 in some places.

Could someone with an unbranded HTC Touch Pro2 tell me which processor is listed in hardware information? My Tilt2 says 7201A, does the unbranded show something else?

can anyone help ? or is my g1 bricked ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] protomanez:
If none of the button combos work, your bricked.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mejorguille:
Have you tried camera and power? Menu and Power?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vwauditech:
Bricked!

Did you call HTC and find out if it is under warranty still? If its not you can always get a rough G1 that boots and swap out your motherboard. I hope you get it fixed. I know exactly how you feel because I bricked a Rogers Dream when I flashed the G1 radio. I have a G1 on eBay right now if your interested.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ajclai08:
Was this because his spl wasnt compatible with the radio he flashed???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] etibon:
I bricked an HTC Magic. When I got it I couldn't wait to upgrade the firmware. Followed all the instructions, upgraded spl, radio hboot etc. but it started giving strange errors and refused to recognize the sd card from recovery. Eventually it refused to boot. Bricked in less that 24 hrs!

It's so damn easy to brick these android phones! I wish they were as easy to flash as WM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nrmerritt:
Have tried flashing a proper RUU to see if it will even recognize the phone? It's worth a shot even though you can't access the recovery menu or fastboot. Since it turns on you may have some luck.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] m0bstar:
No G1 is under warranty any more from HTC, the manufacturer warranty expired I believe.

WOW that is like 17 different kinds of awesome!! Great find WarlockW!!

I'd been using mobiola web camera software to achieve the same effect, but this makes it even easier...and it's free!! :D:D

For everyone else here, here's how it works:

The website you sign up for there is the web component of the cab you install after registration. When you install and run it on your phone, the app is a simple video camera window with options down either side of the frame. When you click to start the camera, it streams live video from your phone to that website you just registered (you get your own page there). The site can either capture/store the video stream for later use, or you can give the public URL to whoever you want, and they can then watch the stream live right on your public page there. It's pretty badass!! AND it streams sound with the video!

Vid quality is not superb, but about what you'd expect to be able to stream live over a 3G-to-internet link.

Worth checking out at least, even if you don't have a particular need for it....yet :D

[Touch HD General] foilerist:
3 or 4 days ago my phone was acting strange, the power on button wouldn't turn the screen off, or it would turn it off then immediately turn back on. Battery would charge as usual then would drain extremely quickly (minutes to get from half power to battery so low to shut down the handset.

Today the phone won't take any charge and won't turn on at all even when plugged into the usb charger. When theses problems started the phone ceased being able to sync with any pc.

Anyone got any idea what's wrong with it?

I've started the returns system on Mobiles.co.uk, I've had the phone 7/8 months and the shop no longer stock this model. Just wondering what will be the next step.
[Touch HD General] stuntdouble:
Sounds like water damage. Check for water damage by looking at the label under the battery. Also check to make sure all contacts inside the phone with the battery are clean and clear.
