[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Shasarak:
Not all Snapdragon variants are actually intended to be used in phones. Most of the more powerful ones will only ever end up in netbooks and devices like that.

The decision to exclude Samsung processors surprised me a bit. Samsung's "Hummingbird" CPU is easily the equal of the current generation Snapdragon, and Samsung has been a major supporter of Windows Mobile in the past. I guess MS wanted to limit itself to writing drivers for just one platform - allowing Samsung or OMAP processors would mean also allowing other GPUs, other GPS and Bluetooth hardware, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
It's always sounded to me like they just picked one to launch with and will support others going forward. Writing drivers and testing other platforms at this point doesn't really give a good bang for the buck.

We should know on the 10th (the first GDC windows phone sessions). I would think the graphics capability would be something they would share there. But then again, they've shown an astounding ability to just say "wait for MIX" so far so they very well could keep that up.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sschrupp:
I imagine that they want WP7 to be as smooth and hitch-free as possible to start out with. That means not allowing for any unknown variables such as different hardware, drivers, software.

It's the same for Iphone or any of the console game machines. It's one piece of hardware that is always the same making it easier to plan things for and develop things for. Which ends up meaning a higher perception of quality from the consumers due to lack of glitches and crashes.

Hence Apple's commercials saying how often PCs crash and stuff. They crash because PCs have way more variables as far as hardware and drivers than Macs have making many more incompatibilities.

Microsoft will probably allow other hardware once WP7 has a good name going in the consumers eyes.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Wishmaster89:
You're right. QSD8672 is targeted at smartbooks but msm8xxx is designed to power both smarphones and smartbooks. Besides OMAP4 and tegra2 are powerful but still we can expect smartphones based on those platforms next year.

I think so too. More hardware platforms mean more work to do. So I think that support for other hardware platforms will come after they'll finish V1 of WP7 - this way they will just have to port complete full OS from snapdragon to other platform.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chiks19018:
my bad. I thought snapdragon is a processor.

I used G-Profile for few weeks without problems.

Recently I discovered that auto-profile-switch doesn't work anymore.

I've set that only numbers from the list can call me in selected profile, but everyone could...so I discovered that profile swithcing is the problem.

Anyone know what could be the problem?
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
Have you paid for G-profile or still using the trial version?
[HD2 General] Bence:
I've bought it.

I had a few problems with it switching profile until I installed the beta version which is available from there website forum. check it out, it might help.

TV Out AV Cable For HTC Touch HD2

100% Brand New

Description:-

An accessories that you need to view your phone files on a TV

Some phone models also support transfer of pictures, video clips and powerpoint presentations to the TV.

Compatibility list : HTC TOUCH HD2

The design of actual item may look slightly different from the picture, depending on each batch of stock

----------------------------

EDIT: For people stumbling across this thread, the joke is this will not now, not ever work with the HD2! Don't waste your time or money hoping otherwise :(
[HD2 Accessories] TrYde:
Where is the hardware on the HD2 ? :confused:

It looks like any TV-out cable, I have the same type on my Omnia Pro.

The question is : Can the HD2 use the video out ? I don't recall seeing it in hardware specification.

Edit: Anyway I've just bought one, it was cheap enough for a TV-out and if it doesn't get used with HD2, I can still use it with Omnia Pro ;)
[HD2 Accessories] dkb218:
I don't get the joke.:confused:
[HD2 Accessories] zarathustrax:
I seriously doubt it will work. If, by some miracle it does work, let us know.
[HD2 Accessories] TrYde:
To be honest I doubt it will do anything, but I needed a TV-out cable anyway ;)
[HD2 Accessories] zarathustrax:
You might want to give this thread a read before you try the cable. There's some registry changes & cabs that you might want to play around with to see if you can actually get tv out on the hd2. Probably wont work, but might as well try if you're getting the cable.

impossible!!! where is the cable plugged in? :confused:
[HD2 Accessories] TrYde:
This is a standard 3.5mm jack with stereo + video. You can plug it like you would plug the headset in ;)
[HD2 Accessories] GamerMYJ:
My old N900 could do this, right out of box, with a tv out (3.5 mm jack) Whyy cant the HD2?
[HD2 Accessories] alleyezondisromo:
Your OLD ??? N900 , if its that old ill be happy to take it off your hands lol
[HD2 Accessories] TrYde:
Because the N900 has a specific software (and hardware) unlike the HD2.
[HD2 Accessories] danjohnson19855:
my nokia n96 had a cable that plugged into the audio slot and then the 3 coloured cable that go into tv, if i can find it ill test it and let u know
[HD2 Accessories] elyl:
Why would you trust some eejit on eBay selling a cable saying it's compatible with your phone, over the countless threads on xda explaining why TV Out is not possible on the HD2.

Here's a hint, the part of the Snapdragon chipset that deals with TV out is not connected to anything. Unless you plan on soldering the connector into your 3.5mm jack yourself, it's never going to work.
[HD2 Accessories] TrYde:
Because I have another phone that can use this cable :D
[HD2 Accessories] hoss_n2:
hd2 doesnot have tv out hardware
[HD2 Accessories] GamerMYJ:
Hes saying he has a OTHER phone for it.

Sorry, already sold the N900!

Did you get, try the cable yet? I've read about this with the EVO but nothing specific with the HD2.
[HD2 Accessories] quasi_mojo:
Ive got a cable that plugs into the HD2 via the usb...

it allows you to turn your HD2 into a hot-plate for cooking eggs and such.

you want one? i sell it to you for £4.99 +P&P
[HD2 Accessories] rickyzone:
I always did want a gadget that could do everything, like schoolwork and make breakfast. This would definitely get me closer :)
[HD2 Accessories] sancmat:
Why does everyone have to be so negative. Will it work? according to reports probably not, but if someone is going to do the rest of us a favor and test it out say thank you and see if it works.

Ditto. Also if they read the whole thread they would not make stupid comments. The guy has a use for the cable even if it doesn't work....READ the thread!

Rant over.....carry on.

GRRR I wish I'd never started this thread. TV-out cables will NOT work with the Leo! There's no way to do it, and no-one's going to find a solution which doesn't require a hardware hack to work!

[HD2 Accessories] killjoy1:
Has any of you guys had a touchpro2? I had a tv out cable for that. It pluged right into the mini usb port. I used v-net browser and was able to play all my shared tv shows from my network it was great. and also browsed the web. Now on the touchpro2 there was software for the tv out function in the settings on the phone. But with my hd2 there are no settings. So im thinking it was a after thought. Maybe.
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
So many bitter people.

It's not completely beyond reason that one would hope the HD2 would have some TV-out ability, since such a function is available on much less functional phones and devices (like my old Nokia 5800).

Maybe we'll see it on the HD3 :)
[HD2 Accessories] tNEGA:
Well I beg to differ.

I plug my Leo into my DLNA enabled tv and can browse and play images and video, no problem.
[HD2 Accessories] OrionCarl:
what it was ment to say is I cant lol, how do you do it?I go to the video folder and it dont open???

cheers
[HD2 Accessories] tNEGA:
Well your tv must be DLNA enabled, would prolly help if you had the latest video drivers, my Samsung plays back : Video – MPEG1 (.mpg, .mpeg) MPEG2 (.mpg, .mpeg, .trp, .ts, .tp) DIVX (.mpg, .mpeg, .avi) MPEG4 AVC (.mpg, .mpeg)

[HD2 Accessories] TheATHEiST:
Yes but that is not "TV-Out", TV-Out is simply sending the display from phone to another source, ie TV, like a scart plug from a DVD/VHS/DVR etc. What you are referring to is simply browsing/using files stored on phone/sd.

Plus your talking botty water. It all depends on the model and the firmware TV has if it will play back the video or not. Mine plays all pictures and videos perfectly from mobile devices.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] xmarkom:
Can i use scratch remover for plastic as Displex for polishing touch pro external screen?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] stim141:
I think the Displex site specifically says don't use their products for touchscreens.

I just checked on Google and some people have tried using it with good results (NO EXAMPLES FOR FUZE) on resistive touchscreens. Because it removes material it may change the touch properties at the spot being polished or may mess it up completely.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] xmarkom:
thx but i think touch pro's screen is different than other touchscreens.

i think it is similar to htc touch and it has two separate screen parts (screen and touch panel).

i don't know... yet...

i've send email to displex manufacturer (now in Germany) and asked them about this, in detail .but only response i got is : "we do not have application for that". I don't know what they meant...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] stim141:
Display isn't different say between a FUZE/TouchPro Kaiser or TYTN. All resitive - pressure triggers event. Tilt2 still uses same technology. Capacitive is whats in the TOUCH HD2 or Apple Iphone. Uses a piece of glass to detect current not pressure which I think still has some coating on the glass.

The resistive uses pressure points in the digitizer. Displex or any polish removes a slight amount of material from the plastic so the resistive capabilities may be different in certain sections versus others. Calibration won't help because the thickness won't be uniform in theory.

If the screen is pretty bad you could try it although I've seen sites where someone has used it and messed up his touchscreen. There is also something called iDrops which polishes the Apple's screen/case. Someone on the Kaiser board attempted to use it and it worked without messing up the screen. I think Displex may just be too harsh.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] dudes45:
Displex sucks...

Displex does not work, It didnt damage my screen but it didnt remove the scratches either, didnt even change them i used a whole tube on my screen still all the scratches were there (I didnt scratch it I bought it used =D). Also tried it on my brothers Nokia which is not a touch screen he has loads of those really light scuff scratches and it still didnt work? So yeah its a wate of money.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] sokomind:
displex is a piece of ****.

It does not make less visible scrathes even on CD roms, plastic glasses watches and any type of mobile phone's housing lens.

It works a bit only on plastic housing because it can losly remove polish and paint.

Do not use it on housing more and more so no losses of clour you live. But try it any type of plastic or plastic covered screens.

Do not try it on glass so do not try it on capacitive screen because dottes and scrathes become more visible (rainbow effect).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilot_51:
I am looking for an app that automatically switches off the cellular radio when wifi is connected and switches it back on when wifi loses connection. I'm not talking about the APN data connection which already does that, I'm talking about the regular cell phone connection.

According to my lack of results searching through the forums, Market, and Google, such an app does not exist yet. Currently the best app I've found to do anything remotely like this is the Airplane Mode Wi-Fi app, which is a manual switch and a slightly cumbersome one at that, not nearly good enough for how often I go in and out of wifi.

The reason I ask for this is because I use Google Voice with SIP and a prepaid plan. I want to use SIP as much as possible to save my prepaid minutes for when I really need them. When wifi and cell are both connected with Sipdroid running and I receive a call, they both ring at the same time. To be sure I don't accidentally use prepaid, I usually reject the call and call back over SIP, which is slightly annoying for both me and the caller.

Might someone be willing to create this app? Or better yet, does it already exist and I just wasn't doing the right searches?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zer0day:
You can turn the phone radio off with code but you need to use non-public apis and probably extra permissions. For anyone interested, have a look at RadioInfo.java (Phone Info when selecting an activity with AnyCut).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velazcod:
I'll add the option to the Airplane Mode Wi-fi Tool.

It was simple, I'm testing it right now, then I'll update it in the market as soon as it works properly.

UPDATE: Done, go download "Airplane Mode Wi-Fi Tool" (free) from the market if you'd like to stay updated from there, otherwise install it from the attachment here.

It only enables airplane mode if it successfully connects to a Wi-fi network, if it disconnects, connection gets dropped, or wi-fi gets disabled from the settings or widget, the phone goes back to regular radio mode.

Make sure to check the Preferences and enable/disable it according to your preferences. It's disabled as default.

Enjoy! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilot_51:
Perfect! Airplane Mode Wi-Fi Tool has become one of my top favorite apps with this feature. Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
cant' find it on the market

sorry: I needed to search for the translated name
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velazcod:
It is, Market link -- Airplane Mode Wi-fi Tool

Also, you might be interested in this one, Market link - AutoAP
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
I found the application on the market, however it doesn't behave as expected. I have to manually switch to airplane mode, and then enable wifi.

What I would like is a single switch to enable wifi AND disable the cellular radio.

And then a single switch to switch back to cell radio with wifi off.

I will try autoAP, thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
How hard is it on the battery if I always leave wi-fi on even when not used?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
autoap seems just fine, I just have to disable wifi to automatically enable cell radio

thanks

However I think, from a marketing point of view, you should consider a better name. Auto AP sounds like Automatic Access Point to me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsolve:
Yeah, works fine on tablets without internal 3G. This provides a battery saver.

[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
I was playing with the multi-touch test software from the market last night and noticed that we have the same problem as the N1. Can anyone else try this and confirm this please? Could it be all HTC screens or software that doesn't agree with HTC. I think HTC screens are not designed to handle Multi-touch very well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DarthMowzy:
What is the problem that you noticed?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sickbox:
I for one am getting THE SAME exact problem I had before although less frequently. It seems that only the 3rd quarter of the screen "responds" but doesn't help much since it is super jittery and I can't actually press anything. The weirdest part is that it follows my finger when it is up to about 1/2" from the screen.

I end up having to just lock the phone and wait a minute or so. Also it ends up going away with much less persistence (it would last for 10-15 min or so sometimes).

An idea of what I'm talking about below:

+---------------+
| NOT |
| WORK |
|---------------|
| NOT |
| WORK |
|---------------|
| "RESPONDS" |

[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Did you try the multi-touch test program? I know you know when its non responsive but give it a try and let me know if you get the same results as that were written about in a few articles. Thx
[Droid Eris Android Development] sickbox:
Which multi-touch test were you using? So I can try it out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
go to the market-> search multi touch test and select the Multitouch Visible Test.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sickbox:
I tried out...

Multi-touch Visible Test: Works fine.

MultiTouch Visualizer: Works fine.

These apps didn't destroy responsiveness which usually happens instantly after opening a broken one.

Do you have a link to the N1 problem so I can see what may need to be done to recreate it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
with the phone in landscape: put both thumbs down in the center on each side then move them in the opposite direction ie. left up right down. go up and down a few times without lifting you thumbs and you will see the red dot and the blue dot get confused.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tereg:
I can confirm the behavior with Multitouch Visible Test.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sickbox:
ahh riight as if you were moving the box using the intersection of lines and not the dots themselves?

That does happen. However, it does not stop manipulation of the box though I wish you could put a simple picture in that box to see how it could effect it.

You can uninstall by going to Manage Applications, then hitting menu, and filter. Select All under filter to see pre-installed apps.

I'm not sure if this will help you though... maybe 4.0 isn't available outside of the U.S. and the UK.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] paalkr:
Hi!

I have an issue with the word selector list when using the Full QWERTY layout in XT9 mode. If I use the phone keypad or the Compact QWERTY layout words with special characters like æ, ø or å are suggested automatically.

For example hitting the "mno" key and then the "jkl" key on the Phone Keypad will suggest the word "øl" (among others), which by the way means beer in Norwegian. With the Compact QWERTY keyboard the special Norwegian characters are included included in the layout (on the buttons "opå" and "møæ"). Using thous keys works also perfectly well.

But on the Full QWERTY keyboard words with special characters are not suggested, unless I tap and hold for example the "o" key and manually slide to the letter "ø".

So to type "øl" I need to tap and hold "o", slide to "ø" and then tap the "l" button. Is there anyway I can get the Full QWERTY keyboard to behave like the two others, and suggest words with the special characters "ø" when only hitting the "o" key?

Regards,

Pretty much as the title says, my Touch HD has a '2' in the green circle as though I have two unread messages. This is not the case, I have deleted ALL messages from my phone, there is nothing.

It started with a '1' when a message failed to send when I was roaming... I dealt with it, but now it thinks there's a second unread message. It's pretty annoying because I only know if I have a new text now if it says '3' in the green circle.

Help please. :(
[Touch HD General] MasDroid:
Hi,

What ROM version are you using?

Please try and change the following Registry key value:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\sms\Unread \Count and made sure its set to 0

If that does not work, try this:

1. go to 'Messaging' tab (sms texts) in Touchflo.

2. tap softkey (left) labeled 'All messages'

3. This should bring up 'Messaging' program.

4. tap softkey (right) labeled 'Menu'

5. tap option 'Go To >'

6. tap option 'Outlook E-mail'

7. Delete unread email here.

8. Close Messages and check that your email counter has adjusted.

Hopefully this works for most problems.

This isn't the case, I have zero unread messages. I have even deleted ALL messages from my phone, all SMS and Email. It still shows as 2 unread messages, on manilla and in the windows messaging program.
