Hello,

Two quick notes: The Palm Pre battery cover coil has its terminals on the correct side and very close to the charging terminals in the chassis of the HD2, given the amount of room in the chassis. Unfortunately, it looks like the EVO has a larger battery cover, and from the pictures I doubt that the coil assembly would fit length-wise under the HD2 cover. I'm not sure if there are electronics in the "tail" of the assembly, but if that could be removed I think it would be easy enough to find terminal block that would fit in the indent of the HD2. If you look at the Palm assembly you can see the bulge for the coil, the four bulges for the stabilizing magnets (?) and the terminal, I can't see what would be in the tail besides maybe a diode.

Unfortunately, though, the cover of the HD2 is made of metal, which I think would cut down further the efficiency of the inductive coupling of the coils, maybe critically so. If they're using 1A 5V supplies for the base, it might push the supplied charging amperage low enough that it wouldn't be useful. So I think that until someone fabricates a plastic cover, adapting the Palm Touchstone might be difficult.

I do have to disagree that the use of the principles of induction is anything but mature; these inductive charging systems are basically loosely coupled one-to-one transformers, if I'm not mistaken. Engineers made excellent use of inductive coupling a long time ago, if nothing else those tube amps that some folks like so much sure did.

Regards

Any idea what the order is for the contacts below the battery?

I have my palm pixi cover and touchstone. I plan to remove the cover and attach everything to a hard plastic back cover. I just need to connect it to the right terminals.
[HD2 Accessories] inabeyance:
Unfortunately I have yet to find the pin-outs for these contacts. Please share them if you find the information.

You might get some information from this hack created by Derek Hughes. It looks like he has had a similar idea to yourself. Unfortunately he does not use the hidden contacts under the battery cover, instead he just re-routed the micro usb port, kinda messy and a bit impractical.

This hack was carried by many of the phone and tech blogs. But the links below are from Hackaday.

does this work on the european version too?
[HD2 Accessories] peter73:
I believe it will work, but I could not find a store which ships to europe.

Powermat itself only ships to US, amazon.com tells me shipping to europe is not possible.

Suggestions?
[HD2 Accessories] HectiQ:
damn, that sucks big time! :(
[HD2 Accessories] richteralan:
this thing is useless.

don't dream like you can charge your phone wirelessly.

powermat needs your phone to have PHYSICAL contact so that means you have to leave your phone on that mat and without any plastic case.
[HD2 Accessories] mcwarre:
Errmmmm.........

You don't need to connect your phone to a charger just leave it on the mat so it is wireless. If you actually think that you can charge it over wireless then you are quite mad.
[HD2 Accessories] mcwarre:
Seen it available at this link http://www.powermat.com/us/pick-a-bundled-solution/htc.html
[HD2 Accessories] richteralan:
that was my point. I NEVER said you have to PLUG it in.

I said PHYSICAL contact and leaving it on the mat is exactly PHYSICAL contact.

And no, thinking of charging wirelessly is not mad, and that's one of their "selling point": charging without wires. Of course there are research being done about this.

OK?

edit: by "this" I mean charging WITHOUT physical contact.
[HD2 Accessories] peter73:
OK, you define wireless as "without physical contact", we define wireless "no need to plug a cable into a device".

So we have a different unterstanding.

The only problem is: how do we get this thing to europe? powermat in europe does not offer the hd2-shell, only an micro-sd-to-powermat-adapter.

I think this is useless, there is no difference if I connect the adapter or an real microusb-cable.
[HD2 Accessories] g.sembhi:
anybody tried the powermat thing yet? im thinking of ordering one.
[HD2 Accessories] richteralan:
If you just don't have to plug in, but has to leave the device on the mat, then what's the point? Might as well plug in.

I agree with your last paragraph.

I suggest you learn to read English, my friend ;-)

That means without wires to the phone. Well you can.............

I said

That means charging it over wireless i.e. over the air.

Jeez...............................

Not really - what if you have multiple devices and only want to take one charging device? What about when they build it into stuff?

Hi all!

i am using my HTC Universal to play emulators, from PSX to MAME.. but i notice that Uni's Keyboard driver don't let me press 2 keys at once.. (needed when playing an action games that need JUMP+FORWARD) or even 3 keys at once (RUN+JUMP+FORWARD)

This is because Uni's keyboard driver i assume.. maybe HTC made it to reduce miss type when we're typing texts/ emails.

But then i tried a ROM (punisher) in MAME emulator (called FinalBURN) it CAN press 2 keys at once, but in other games i still can't press 2 keys at once.

On a different story, ALL games i played on PSX emulator (FPSECE) can't register 2 keys at once (this is because of the driver i assume). BUT when i tried my friend's XPERIA X1, using the sampe program build, i CAN register 2 keys at once.

So.. i'm sharing my thoughts with all the master in the XDA :

1. Why did the punisher games CAN register 2 keys at once, when the keyboard driver (i think) don't support it?

2. If the keyboard driver in Xperia X1 can register 2 keys at once, can we swap the necessary files in Xperia X1's keyboard driver to our Universals to achieve 2 keys pressing?

3. If we can swap it, what are the files (DLL or other files?)?

Thx in advance

Since the previous thread was (thankfully) locked, here's a new thread!

Previous thread at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=620926

The T9193 version of the HD2 is from Telstra and includes the 850/2100 UMTS bands. This means these phones will work if you are in an 850 area of AT&T or your carrier uses the 850 band for 3G.

This phone will not work in 3G on T-Mobile in the US, because T-Mo uses the 1700/2100 bands for 3G.

There's lots of good info in the previous thread, it just requires some digging.
[HD2 General] tsamuels:
Howdy wise men and women,

Is there any way to prevent the phone from connecting to my service providers data.

I have turned off auto update on weather and email. However, when I wake up in the morning, I look at my phone and the data has been connected for the entire night. I dont know what its connecting to. Maybe facebook updates via the 'people' tab? I do have that synced up....? I cant seem to find any settings there to prevent it from updating automatically....

I have the data disconnect quicklink installed, but that can only be used once I notice it has automatically logged on.

Is there a way I can prevent to phone from logging on unless I actually click through to a function?

Many thanks

Tom

I am in confusion in buying mobile phone between HTC HD2 and iPhone.

I have googled a lot and got many sites on its comparison. But unable to conclude which one to buy, since one site all it's praise for HTC and other for iPhone. As users will be the best person to suggest which one will be better to use in performance, user-friendliness and configuration wise.
[General Topics] slaming:
com'on dude this isn't an issue of device more an issue of what operating system com'on iphone os in my opinion is second best mobile operating system after android i think personnaly it goes for me anyway 1. android 2. iphone joint 3rd winmo and blackberry and i can say all this because i have owned a device that runs every one of these operating system, but thats just for me if you want really customisable android and winmo are good if you want amazing communication get a blackberry, and if you want stupid amounts of apps get android or iphone.
[General Topics] Shasarak:
On this site it's all praise for HTC, so I doubt this will help you much either. :(

My recommendation: people who are sure they want an HD2 should buy an HD2. People who are not sure which they want should get an iPhone.

Or alternatively, put it this way: if you simply want a phone that works, get an iPhone. If you're the sort of person who enjoys spending several weeks researching tweaks, fixes, enhancements and customisations, and you are willing to accept the fact that the phone won't work terribly well while you're doing that, get an HD2.

[General Topics] sonus:
HD2 clearly has the SIGNIFICANTLY better hardware.

Nonetheless, honestly, its either you settle for already out of date with any WM6.5 phone or play the waiting game... Windows Phone Series 7 was just announced, but its not going to be available until the holidays... that's 10 months from now. So if you get an HD2, unless there are WM7 ROM leaks (which are unlikely given the hush environment thus far and the fact that the ZuneHD can't be yet be cracked), your stuck with WM6.5. Otherwise, iPhone 3GS, Palm Pre, Nexus One, Xperia X10 are all good choices as of those will definitely get all OS updates likely for the next few years.

[General Topics] lynxxx:
my brother has the same question these days:

I recommend the HD2 for him. (or the Touch Pro 2 with QWERTY-Keyboard and a newer and better cooked ROM)

Why?

Because, his main usage is looking movies in the train, surfing the web, sometimes navigation and maybe sometimes a game.

-Usability is now thanks HTC Sense GUI never more a "problem". (almost equal for both mobiles, besides a poweruser)

-The sceen is very very huge, so he can type SMS, Texts, etc. very well with his big fingers, I'll install Touchpal or/and Tengo Thumb and/or Swype as additional keyboards. (one point for the HD2)

- The movies looks on this huge screen better than on Iphone (Point for the HD2)

- Same for the Navigation Software.

- Surfing the Web is with Opera almost the same, than with Iphones Safari. (and I'll install additional Skyfire, etc.) but on this high Resolution on the HD2 is the whole website without horizontal scrolling more common

- The HD2 is cheaper as the Iphone.

- I can support him, for example with a newer, faster, better ROM from the xda-devs, or support him to install another GUI, for example Schaps touchexperience, SPB Mobileshell, rlToday, Battery++, IFonez, etc. etc. etc. etc.

- He is not so interested in tons of apps. I give him years ago a HTC Magician / MDA Compact, with 100 Games (incl. Gameboy Color/Adv. Games for an emulator, and 200 programs/apps... ) but he realy used only 1% of them.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] hertell:
Hi all!

I assume that the SE update-app is the same for all languages, and phone models. What came into my mind is that the app at some point decides what language-version the phone is provided with. Now if i could somehow trick the update-app to think the phone has a different language installed, then it would simply download and install an other language instead...

has anyone thought anything about this approach?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Aerox912:
there is no use in doing this because every original rom in every language you can download right here at xda
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] hertell:
Well, i have no use of this, because i can't find a tool to re-flash the phone with these roms.. So the easiest thing would be to just tweak the Update application, and let this app do the job..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] pansen222:
the easiest way would be

download original rom in your desired language (links can be found here at xda)

put it on youre sd card an install it.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Aerox912:
Dude...

Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=431218

follow steps. Unless you have windows 7, then you need to install some alternate drivers or run a virtual XP and from there install it.

Then go here: http://www.rapidgsm.com/sony-ericsson/xperia-x1-software-download-free/

Pick what ever rom you want, or any rom from the forum, place it on your sd card and rename it tho kovsimg.nbh.

Backup all stuff you don't want to lose!!!

shut down phone, press the left and right silver buttons, simultaneously with the power button, keep them all pressed until you feel the phone vibrating, then release the power button, follow onscreen instructions.

Done

Hey OzJD,

Thanks for the lines, actually I did prepare two bash script that does something similar for me, everytime I want to compile the stuff. One builds from the source, the other one just compiles whatever is in the local repo (good for creating personal custom roms). As soon as I get home, I'll post them here ;)

I would suggest using "make -j8" in the end, that compiles with 2GB of RAM in under 20minutes :D if you don't have 2GB of RAM in your computer, use "make -j4".
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] OzJD:
Wow, I didn't think it was that much of an increase, seems to take forever using just make.

I've got 4GB ram btw.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
make -j4 makes my laptop REALLY hot, and causes a lot of swap to be used (I have a dual core 2.2Ghz CPU and 1Gb of ram). I always have to reboot after doing a build as everything gets very slow :)

Some guy called Steve Ryner posted this on my blog, which I found useful:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] OzJD:
To be honest, I thought it was a throttle, Limiting to a maxinum of n threads.

I guess you learn something new every day.

Edit:

It seems to be limited by CPU, not RAM.

I'm using 1.7GB of 4GB RAM, and 2.1MB of 10.6 GB swap

Although both CPU cores are sitting near 100%

This is using -j4 on my laptop (2.1GHz AMD Athlon64 X2)

Edit2: My CPU is set to 50% frequency, So the cores were both running at 1.05GHz

Buzz on a Place Page

Voice shortcuts

Buzz icon shortcuts

Where are they?

Buzz.google.com is fine, I just got the Maps layer from cyanogenmod 5 stable, I don't know what that Place Page is, voice shortcut is fine since I installed cyanogenmod 5 stable, and I don't know how to get the icon shortcuts.

[HD2 General] tamalsen:
First and foremost, apologies if these questions have been asked and solved before, i have been going through the forums, and the wiki and have some idea, but yet to solve these issues. i have only had the phone for a mere 8 days now.

The landscaping view in the htc albums only happen if you turn the phone on the left side, not on the right? i know its a minor niggle, but still.

would updating the rom and radio void the warranty? or could i go back to the factory settings with the hard reset without any problems? what are the chances of bricking the phone completely. as you can imagine, i am a noob and obviously concerned about this.

finally, i am having trouble using the mobile phone tracking software. because of manila, the tracking sms is clearly visible and is not working the way it should? are there any tracking software designed for the hd2? or, would the softwares work if i shifted from the sense ui to the windows theme?

again, sorry if i am asking very obvious questions and many thanks in advance for whatever advise you guys can offer.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hi.

landscape only automatically happens on the left however there are toggle programs that can toggle to the right(look for a user called johncmolyneaux, if I remember correctly he has a link to a toggle program in his signature)

updating the rom and radio with official updates will not void the warranty, however using hspl would. a hard reset would only return thee phone to the rom you had installed, not the original factory rom. BUT hspl can be removed and the warranty restored.

tracking software - go look into "remote tracker". free and fantastic. much better than any of the commercial options. loads of different options and commands.
