who cares as long as it works and the power boost is well worth it
[HD2 Accessories] jbl200:
Since size and looks it's not a problem......

then why not carry a car battery.

A 66Ah varta will keep the hd2 running for about 5 monts without recharge and I think it will not be more expensive than the extended one from htc. :D
[HD2 Accessories] drgrabez:
Great idea man!!

All I need is some cables,already have car battery! :D
[HD2 Accessories] PROTOCHIP:
Dear drgrabez,

and a mule to carry both the phone and the battery... :)

Kind Regards...
[HD2 Accessories] lemonspeakers:
OMG. SoooO doing that. can;t believe i never thought of that.
[HD2 Accessories] BladeKnight:
you better bring a good backpack with that...hehehehehe:D
[HD2 Accessories] BladeKnight:
how many hours would be charging of this battery? 4 hrs?
[HD2 Accessories] Insinr8:
Bugger that! LOL

I like the kick stand, but for battery I just bought a power monkey explorer (as I'm out and about a bit)

[HD2 Accessories] aLlamaWithARifle:
To be honest it doesn't look that bad, looks no where near as good as the original pictures of it but still not bad and who cares it's the back of the phone and your hand will cover it from holding it.

I might get one, fed up of my battery dying on me
[HD2 Accessories] lquigley:
big battery

I'm with you, I'd rather have hd2 useable than someone saying how nice it looks, "but dead" lol,,, I want 1, soon, & htc stylus.
[HD2 Accessories] woaloo:
The extended Battery

I found this one:

Seems to look a bit ugly, a bit expensive, but you've got the power...
[HD2 Accessories] hanoi_toulouse:
thats big enought for my HD2's use daily, tell me where to buy, is this shipping included?

:mad:
[HD2 Accessories] alexnvidia:
does it charge the HD2 well? i noticed that it doesnt come with a micro-USB connector. care to write a quick review on this product with HD2? cheers
[HD2 Accessories] GamerMYJ:
Might pick one up, had a mophie juice pack air for my iphone, very usefull!
[HD2 Accessories] btyeh:
HTC knows its ugly too so thats why it says its being released on April 1st, as a Fool's joke.

fake edit: This post is a joke too.
[HD2 Accessories] Willy318is:
Could not resist that you Silly, OMG! I cracked my chair when laughing about what you said, this is the BEST EVER COMMENT I HEARD IN YEARS.

[HD2 Accessories] Wevenhuis:
I also have one. I also have the Power gorilla. Very nice mobile option. Especially with the help of some velcroe.
[HD2 Accessories] Wevenhuis:
Denpendig on how you use the HD2, the powertraveler can charge up the HD2 about 1.5-2 times. With the Powergorilla (2000 MaH). 5-10 chargecycles can be achieved, again depending on how you use the HD2 and when you decide to charge your mobile. Both devices have built in overcharging protectors. So when the phone is fully charged, the charger will shut off. Both devices come with microusb adapter plugs.
[HD2 Accessories] richo27:
Interesting how a 2000mah battery can charge a 1230mah battery 5-10 times. Must have a flux capacitor in it.
[HD2 Accessories] erebusting:
Why not get 2-3 regular sized batteries then, if you are worried about the bulkiness of the extended battery....
[HD2 Accessories] kilrah:
No, it simply is 2000mAh at a much higher voltage.

2000mAh @ 15V give an equivalent ~10000mAh once brought down to 3.7V by a DC/DC converter.
[HD2 Accessories] ilordvader:
Wonder if anyone tried this 1350 mAh Slim Extended Battery For HTC HD2
[HD2 Accessories] lusjash:
LOL!! Laughed a lot imagening... Nice tips! thanks for the mood.

anyone tried this one? it's almost twice juice as the regular one...:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dagoob:
I recently upgraded to a Touch Pro 2 from a Mogul, massive improvement (other than the lack of hardware keys). So I was a little worried when first using the camera, but the interface quickly grew on me. After installing everything I had on the Mogul, and a few other things that weren't previously supported, I went to snap a quick picture. But for some reason I now have to press and HOLD the shutter button for about 2 or 3 seconds while it auto-focuses then finally takes the picture. For the last week or two (since I've had the phone) I just tapped the button and it focused and took the picture, and was a lot quicker.

I've gone through all of the new cabs I've installed and looked for changes to the camera's registry settings, but found nothing (other than the enabling of the extra modes).

I've also tried changing the Key Delay settings in Advanced Config. Normally I find solutions to any problems I encounter by searching the xda forums, but this time all I'm coming up with is TP2 camera reviews, and stuff about the TP Shoot Options (which are related to the TP's hw button, I'm guessing?).

It's not a huge problem, I mean everything still works as it should. It's just kind of annoying having to hold the button and wait. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Also, pressing the Enter key on the hardware keyboard still has the desired effect. It's just something with the on screen shutter button.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Xeion:
I too have encountered this problem and can't figure out what is causing it. Also, I have noticed that for my video recording, it is stuck on the lowest resolution of S (128x96) in mpeg4 mode. When I first got the phone, I recall setting it to best resolution, forgot which one that was, but I can't even tap on the resolution to change it from small, just makes error clicks. Does anyone know what's wrong or how to fix this? (Short of a hard reset of course)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] huggs:
I am guessing you guys are using stock roms? I would highly suggest flashing a custom rom, they are in my experience 100x better than stock roms. If you dont want to go that route, you can search the forums for the Advanced Configurations tool, download it and install. It has options for your camera settings, among many other very useful settings. I believe the camera has a delay by default, which can be disabled in the Advanced config menu. I have also found that disabling the shutter sound and setting the flicker adjustment to 50 hz seems to give better/faster camera performance. Also check in TP2/Tilt2 Genereal Discussion / Cabs, Tips, and Tweaks thread, you can enable more camera modes and video modes by doing some pretty easy registry tweaks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dagoob:
Yeah I've had custom roms on all of my previous phones, but I've had no problems with the stock one so far (contrary to the previous ones, which is why I flashed). As per my original post, the settings in Advanced Config do not relate to the problem I (and apparently others) am experiencing. I would say this is the problem that would make me flash a custom rom, but the problem didn't start until a few weeks after using the phone. I totally agree with you on the flicker and sound settings though.

The problem isn't really a "delay", its a matter of 'Press' vs 'Press & Hold'. It really isn't a problem though. In fact, it actually keeps me from accidentally taking pictures. One thing I did do though is set my Back key to Enter (which still works right). So now I have a hardware shutter button.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
Try BsB Tweaks and turn on hidden camera modes. Should open up the number of video options.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Toleraen, do you know if BsB tweaks work on a sense 2.1 rom?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
I'm pretty sure I've seen it in Energy's Sense 2.1 ROMs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Sweet, thank you my friend :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] radioman38:
i also have the problem of the video resolution only S (128x96), i install bsb tweks (2 times), turn on all the video related settings (4 or 5 times on and off), soft reset (4 or 5 times) and nothing, please help, this is frustrating
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
radioman, what ROM are you using? Once you have the options switched on in BsB tweaks, the additional resolutions should become selectable in the options menu in the vid camera (under the "advanced" button).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] radioman38:
sirphunkee im using the factory original att rom, i turn on the bsb tweaks video options, go to the video camara, click advance and the resolution tap is not working, can not select nothing, its gray out, make a sound everytime i touch it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Understood, thank you. Are you able to click/select the "Capture Format" options in that same list in "Advanced" vid settings....or is it greyed out/locked as well?

EDIT: I just saw your post in the other thread, I'll throw BsB back on my phone in a few and then list the exact steps/options I used.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Ok radioman, here's what I did...

In BsB tweaks, I switched on all the following options:

-Hidden Camera Modes (probably only affects the still camera, but it's one of the ones I turned on when the extra video options appeared, so you might want to try it anyway)

-Video Formats

-Camera Superfine

-Video BitRate

Once I switched those all on, I just went into the video camera settings, clicked the "advanced" button, and then I could click on and change both the "capture format" and "resolution" selections. I believe that the 640x480 resolution is only available in the MPEG4, Motion JPEG, and 3GPP2 formats.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
I tried this with BsB was only able to get 640x480 in 3GPP2 on my tilt 2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] radioman38:
ok,sirphunkee thanks for your time, but the first time i instaled bsb tweaks i did everything like you said but nothing, i can change and choose all the capture formats, H.264, H.263, 3GPP3, MPEG4 and Motion JPEG, but i can't change the resolution in any format, the only option is S (128 x 96), i am kind of desperate!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] radioman38:
can anyone help here?? the videos are so small!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] johnsongrantr:
slightly edited double posting from CDMA development (tangent from a conversation in there)

If you've used webOS you'll know what I'm asking for here. If you haven't used webOS there are plenty of videos on youtube to look at to get the general idea of how it multitasks which is where it excells.

Open a web browser, press menu>bookmarks and look, finger scrollable preview windows of webpages, now in your head replace that with preview windows of currently running processes... add the ability to swipe + drag a process down to bring to foreground or up to kill that particular process. Very fluid, very easy, very natural.

Very intuitive idea and well executed in webOS. I would love to see a general port of this function added to android in form of an app or possibly a homescreen replacement, most ideal would be replace the worthless "add to homescreen button" on the senceUI dock, as longpress on the homescreen is another way to do exactly the same thing. Shade out your homescreen and put these previews over the top of your homescreen, drag in a direction as mentioned above, or hit the "add to homescreen button" agian to return to your homescreen.

I will make a bounty of $50 USD (a fair amount IMO) to anyone who makes it exactly as I describe... guaranteed to be a killer app and in no way infringing on webOS patents, as it's only replicating a function provided inside webOS similar to their "synergy" that android has copied almost bit for bit in idea.

also after all designing and beta testing is complete ... you put it out on the market you will be getting even more money, pm me if interested and details on the bounty I am offering. (I don't ever check this side of the forum so be sure to PM)

will be paying with paypal, so please have an account before responding.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
I think there is already an app out there very similar to what you described

Can't remember what it's called though.

all its missing is the "previews" i think
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] johnsongrantr:
taskOS, I'm aware of it... the previews and the drag to foreground is what I'm wanting, and a little better way of starting it
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
I would imagine (though admit, I don't *know* definitively) that application previews wouldn't be possible without support from the application itself.

The reason I say this is because Android applications are essentially "sandboxed", and all inter-application communication is via "intents". Therefore, I believe that it is probable that in order to display a preview running apps, those apps would need to be coded with an "intent" to supply that preview.

As I said before though, I don't know with 100% certainty, but I'm sure if I'm wrong someone will chime in!

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] johnsongrantr:
i see sort of what you're saying. Bookmarks in the web browser save thumbnails of the webpages bookmarked to your sd card, but like you said it's not inter-app.

Each app would probally have to supply that thumbnail, or try and make an additoinal app that creates thumbnails when an app is in a foreground for x amount of seconds would proablly be needed, and reading the taskOS thread it sounds like it's probally not supported by the sdk. Something to look into... my offer still remains if a solution is found for this and is implemented, he's the closest example and it sounds like it's his goal as well so he will probally get the pot if he implements this and a few other things.

also find a way to twist that into senceUI as mentioned as a "root only" update.zip version to remove the explicit need for a hardware button

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
my idea would be to take a screenshot of the device every time you push the home button, then use this screenshot for the task. remember how the iphone does the animations when closing tasks? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
From what I can tell from the video, that's more like a preview of live widgets rather than running apps which is going to be possible since widgets are by definition live on home screens.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
That would probably work - the issue though (for me anyway) is that the screenshot wouldn't show the current status of the app, but the status just prior to shifting anyway.

If I'm running say Spotify, I'd want my live preview to show what I'm currently playing, not what I was playing when I put the app into the background. If it couldn't do that, I'm no better off with the screenshot than I am with a simple Spotify icon,

Regards,

Dave
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ninja1972:
hello, i really admire you guys here at xda , and your site has been a massive help in making my devices less ordinary :D . i have a question about the htc pure , im curious also if anyone else has had the same problem . whenever i use my htc pure as a wifi hotspot using a utility i got from this site "toms utility " it gets real hot , and starts refreshing the connection over and over , or stops data transmission all together until it cools down. any input or help on this matter would be greatly appreciated , thank you very much in advance .
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Its pretty normal but you can try a different radio, see if that helps.

I would suggest installing a battery utility that measures the heat like Batti, often when mine gets hot I will pull off the battery cover and shoot it with a little freon (duster) to cool it down.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
You're probably just seeing a worst case situation. Using 3G data heavily (downloading a large file, for example) makes the phone hot, even in the good reception area I live in. This is probably worse if you're in a weak signal area as the radio has to transmit at full power. Using wi-fi heavily also makes it hot, so I imagine both together is just too much.

It probably depends what you're doing. If it's only light surfing, it'll only get warm when actually transferring data (both 3G and wi-fi). If it's streaming or downloading, that's possibly what's killing it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ninja1972:
thank you very much for the input , guess ill try that and see if it works :)
[HD2 General] spark001uk:
Searched forums and cant seem to find this one- when i use the volume up/down buttons on the side of the handset whilst in windows media player, it works the volume, but i just get a black bar down left hand side of screen. Any ideas? I did have a problem with a missing volume icon on Brians taskbar once i upgraded rom to 1.66, but someone posted a cab to fix that. Possible connection to that maybe?
[HD2 General] dkwolf:
i would say so. I installed the taskbar also and after that i lost the volume bar in Media Player. Havn't looked into it yet - since my HD2 now is a nice brick :(

But if u find a solution. Plz do post it, so i can find it when i get my phone back from RMA.

Also running ROM 1.66

Hi people. looking for a good aluminum case for my N1. I have been looking at the PDAir one but wanted to know if there are others.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Accessories] Bill Idol:
n1 case

Seidio online has a nice case for the n1, plus they have a nice 2800mAh battery if you want extra power and hate charging it all the time. And it's not as thick as the g1 battery.

http://www.seidioonline.com/Default.asp?Redirected=Y
[Nexus One Accessories] manfly9884:
Thanks. The PDAir case seems to add some bulk to the overall phone and I do not want that.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] henihazbay:
it's not working for nexus one.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Can you provide me with details of what ROM your using, I assume you have a rooted N1!

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] henihazbay:
I have CM 5.0.2 stable.

I installed the app, gave the SU permissions and played with rates and nothing changed in the way the trackball blinked.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bobtentpeg:
Working fine here on CM-5.0.2. A reboot might help ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sstang2006:
it works !!!! thanks

could you set it to flash faster ( 2 per second )?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
That's not actually possible, the fastest is 2seconds.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Can you pm some logcat data

adb logcat AndroidRuntime:* TrackballFlashRate:* *:S

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r8zer:
can this be used along side ur trackball colornotify, so i can speed up light on other notifications
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Yes, there is an option in TCN to not change flash rate, therefore allowing TFR to control.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r8zer:
thankyou, love this app by the ways the best here so far,
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
Seems the version dates are a little off. Maybe (30-Jan-2010)?​
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
@lilHermit:

Didn't you work on trackballcolournotify anymore?

Greetings!

[General Questions and Answers] lord_melchett:
I just wanted to check what the actual difference is between UK Spec, Euro Spec and America spec phones. The only thing i can think of is the frequencies, which is made pretty redundant with quad band. That is especially true in relation to UK to USA, but what about UK v Europe? They do they use the same or slightly different frequencies?

NB i've looked on wiki and there is too much UTMS etc talk for me to understand.

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
Frequency and the kind of services that you may get from your provider. For example, mos devices that come to the US are crippled one way or another depending on the carrier that they are going for. The Raphael (Touch Pro) is supposed to have a front camera for video calling. I cannot think of a single phone in the whole US market with this feature...

Having said that, this is US vs rest of the world (pretty much). Now, UK vs Europe... there shouldn't be too many fundamental differences (IMHO). Hope this helps...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mat157:

[Hero CDMA General] Troopermoonchild:
I was messing with my phone and some how its running the standard UI and not Sense UI which I want to run. I have searched and looked everywhere to put it back to the Sense UI. Can someone point me in the right direction to fix it.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
you have to go into app management go to home and clear defaults then hit home and it should give you the option of home or htc sence choose htc sence
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
Go to menu>settings>applications>manage applications, Look for an app called "Home", selected and scroll down, you should see a button that says clear defaults, press it. Then just press your home key and it will pop open a box for you to select home or htc sense, select the check box and then select HTC sense.
[Hero CDMA General] Troopermoonchild:
Perfect thanks. The clear defaults was greyed out. But I pushed the clear data button and then hit the home button and it asked me to use Sense.

Thanks a bunch.
[HD2 General] Shadowdh:
Any way to get the messages "line" on the non sense home screen to go to sms

Hi all, I decided to not use the sense home page thing and now my phone is much more like the x1 main screen which is ok as I have a few plugins (some still to install) on there and it makes for easy nav... but the message line only links me to the outlook emails rather than all the messaging services... any way I can get it to show text messaging when I "click" on it... cheers
[HD2 General] Shadowdh:
Ok I found out that when you disable sense its called titanium... so is there any way to get the message section on the home screen to go straight to sms messaging instead of emails... actually come to think of it where is the text message option in the list of accounts in the email setting, are they not linked now as they were in the X1...?
