[myTouch 3G, Magic General] psycotic11:
Hi guys, I replaced the digitizer on my Magic with a digitizer from Repairs Universe. They assured me (and still do) that the G2 digitizer is compatible with my Magic, yet after installation there is no touch response, nothing works. I tried plugging the cracked digitizer back in and it still works, so the problem isn't with my phone.

Is this digitizer actually compatible? Should I ask for a refund and find a Magic specific one? Do I need to do something else to make it compatible?

Thanks for any answers..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KAwAtA:
I thought G2 = Magic...

Maybe something is wrong with it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] psycotic11:
G2 is the HTC Hero apparently.

They are still assuring me that the unit is working (as they test them prior to shipment) and that it is 100% compatible (even though it looks like a different part).

Waiting on an e-mail back as to how to proceed :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] felixjai:
I just came across this thread and I had similar issue with my Rogers Magic. I broke my LCD and digitizer last year and replaced with some third party parts from ebay myself. After that, I noticed that certain ROMs the touchscreen would not work (Cyanogen's, Hero's..etc). The only ROM that touchscreen would work is the ION ROM from Amon_Ra http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=538645. You may want to try his ROM to see if you experience the same problem. I suspect that the replacement digitizer had a different chipset? Please do let me know how you resolved your issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hparra:
Aha! This is important to know. I also have a custom screen/digitizer and have the same exact problem.

I confirm that Amon RA ROM works.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Tipika:
hi, i have a cracked lcd/digitizer

if i replace it i will have the same problem?

also, how to stick the digitizer to the lcd? There is a sticky side?

i have a g1 where my operator replaced the mobo in warranty. Now, the accelerometer works only on android 1.1 (my operator is so crappy that they did not provide any updates). Maybe they were so cheap to replace it with a different but $0.10 cheaper one.

If i go to cyanogen/froyo/eclair/donut/cupcake it won't work - i have to replace system/bin/akmd from android 1.1

Maybe it is the same?

Which program manages the digitizer? Take it from ION and flash on froyo :cool:

ive rooted my phone on my pc no problem and my gfs also. now im trying to root someone elses manually and whe i type in cd AndroidSDK\tools\ it says cannot find path why??? i deleted the androidsdk file and put it back still nothing.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
is it at the root of your c drive not in say your downloads folder?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joecrack305:
figured it out =X

hi i had the same problem and i had forgotten i had changed the folder name i had put a space so i had to put it like this Android SDK\tools\

hope it helps
[HD2 General] bregel:
Trying to understand the differences between the Asian HD2 SKUs. HTC support says that since HTC doesn't/can't sell in mainland China that their phones only support CHT (Chinese traditional character set). I am trying to find which region's model support CHS (Chinese simplified character set).

I was hoping to find a factory ROM/SKU with CHS support so I know what region to order my phones from. Eventually I will be dealing with 20+ phones so I'm trying to avoid having to flash/support a custom ROM image.

I know that there are custom ROMS (Lost in Asia being an example) that claim CHS support. Does anyone know what original OS they sourced support for CHS EZInput (IME/SIP)?

I'll follow up with the information I am able to collect. I know that some people have tried to make a .cab of CHS EZInput, but have not heard about it working.

thanks

-drew
[HD2 General] ruffruff:
Get the Singapore or Hongkong WWE version. It supports CHS by default and have chinese pinyin/hand writing IME include in the default input.

I am using the stock 1.66.707.1 which comes with my singapore set so its confirmed.

And for your info, HTC does not sell directly in China as HTC-branded but as DOPOD. Dopod is part of HTC. There are CHS ROM for the Dopod HD2 which is usable for the HTC HD2. But normally, chefs usually avoid them as their SKUs and embedded software versions are usually lower than the WWE version. Chinese Chefs usually will extract the 0804 from the DOPOD CHS ROM and mixed with the latest WWE rom to produce the custom CHS roms.
[HD2 General] gregwee:
HD2s from Singapore come with CHS support. The official 1.66 SEA WWE ROM comes with CHS support as standard. On the other hand, Hong Kong phones have CHT support, but until today, HTC still hasn't released an official 1.66 WWE ROM for Hong Kong. Hong Kong phones can also read CHS, but writing/typing is CHT only.

BTW, don't believe what HTC is saying about not being able to sell their phones in China, since there are lots and lots of HTC phones for sale in Shenzhen, including the HD2.

A good/stable Cooked ROM with CHS support is Merlion LEO. I have the V1.90 installed on my phone, and so far, it has been absolutely stable and flawless.
[HD2 General] bregel:
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this info. It is like pulling teeth to get info out of HTC support.

I think we are going to go with the Singapore HD2 SKU as we definitely need CHS input/display.

Just a few confirmations about the Singapore HD2:

What language is the operating system in? Should I expect any hassles choosing CHS vs CHT for input? Are there any other hardware or application differences from a WWE phone?

The Dopod would definitely be an option, but there is some concern that our research software may not run correctly on a native Chinese OS.

Ok now to hunt down more specifics about the Singapore HD2, any good links besides HTC's site?

Thank you both very much. Have a great day.
[HD2 General] bregel:
One clarification. I need the CHS input to be from the native HTC EzInput keyboard, not a 3rd party app like CE Star.
[HD2 General] Shadowdh:
I use touch pal to do this and it works like a charm...

HTC is not sold in China officially, but you can find plenty of shuihuo ones around...
[HD2 General] ruffruff:
The 1.66.707.1 firmware has the CHS input from the native HTC keyboard.
[HD2 General] bregel:
Did previous versions not use the native HTC keyboard for CHS input? Did they use A4 or something?

Interesting stuff, thanks for the reply. Wish I had my HD2 in front of me to flash and verify to my manager.
[HD2 General] hanzocloud:
since the singapore rom is actually the "South East Asia" rom,

i wonder if it has keyboards for all the other south east asian countries such as thailand, vietnam, korea, japan etc..

Its good that its got chinese. but asia does not = just chinese.. so im wondering if all the othre asian language inputs are supported or not ? =) Thanks

Will the HTC phones have this UI anytime soon ?

ELSE Mobile phone user interface

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kel16harris:
this is what i thought wm7 was going to look like:D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mazzarin:
That 'home' menu looks pretty cool, the rest of the phone, eh. What's up with those side buttons?

However, their actual 'phone' functionality niceities are interesting - e.g. call handling while in another app, or during a meeting, etc. I'd actually pay for that as an app for our phones!

Also, their multitasking handling was cool.

BTW: Probably the wrong forum ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ilordvader:
Where should it be then ?

what category ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MonteCristoffOn:
Hi ilordvader,

You should go on the official site for more info: http://www.firstelse.com/

Also, it has nothing to do with Windows Phone 7 series (This UI is based on Limo).

To my mind, this thread should be moved in General forums.

Cheers.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pilgrim011:
This is actually much better than stupid iPhone-like WP7. And it even multitasks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] godefroi:
Multitasking is not special. Every phone EXCEPT the iPhone multitasks. Windows Mobile has been doing it for a decade.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pilgrim011:
Of course. :) I was trying to be sarcastic, because WP7 (just like iPhone) will not have true multitasking.:mad:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gorelshv:
BTW,

The company which is responsible for this phone is an Israeli company called Else (foremly Emblaze). Another israeli designed cellphone is the Modu (or Modo, i'm not sure) which is intended for developing markets.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chiks19018:
I hate tiny buttons

I love WP7 for it's big buttons.

I have said time and again, when you are mobile, you are HANDICAPPED. You cannot be looking for tiny buttons while you are walking down the street and typing an email or browsing.

So you need a phone with a large(er) size i.e HD2, and big buttons.

HD2's biggest flaw is it's array of tiny buttons on the bottom.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ilordvader:
arent we glad hitler did not finsh the job lol
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kholk:
This thing has to be moved onto another forum.

Anyway, you can see that it is Linux-based, so maybe we can have it when we'll get a working Linux kernel for the HD2!

...Or on other devices (that are already running Linux just fine) like Diamond, Blackstone, Raphael etc.!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GuestK0081:
very nice ui, surprised that noone tried to replicate it for WM.

a question though.. what if you're left-handed?:D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Keland44:
that's hiliarous i was thinkin the same thing cuz i am left handed

it would have been interesting if you talked about the hardware that's running the phone it would be interesting if we could boot that up on our devices the phone intergation is very slick i really liked the way it handled the phone call

i would like to see how it's developed in the future and if they release a version of hardware with a slide out keyboard if so i think i'd be interested in makin the switch if the development got big enough as thing here on xda have gotten

i just checked out the site really impressed with the functionality of the UI man if windows mobile 7 had been these i'd been very impressed but oh well well see what happens at MWC
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chiks19018:
Big deal....they won't get your business.

i guess 90% of people are right handed. Why worry about the 10% LOL :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gorelshv:
Yes, we are!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GuestK0081:
they should worry about the 10%, because they are not a very well known company and they could use all the customers they can get, i saw the ui about 1 month ago, and after that i read about it again yesterday in this thread. they would be better off selling the ui idea to a bigger OEM or MS or Apple or Google, because only then this ui will become popular.

what happens at MWC? MWC is over..:p
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Roadrunner100:
Upon initial device setup, you can choose either Left or Right handed operation. This can also be changed on-the-fly.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GuestK0081:
oh, cool, but i was mainly talking about the hw buttons..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chiks19018:
umm...you have 2 hands..or no?

use the other one.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] :
yeah i do, but i wouldnt want to use both my hands on my mobile just for navigating the menus, that would be impractical, i prefer using both hands just for typing.

nevertheless, im right handed, so no impact on me, i think its a great ui and if this concept gets a port to wm, i will definetely use it:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rsacipher:
I was using the 3mp hack in burst and sports mode but when I upgraded to 6.5 the camera freezes. When I switch it back to 1mp it works fine. I thought it was a hardware issue but I just got a replacement handset and I'm still having the same problem. I'm using the stock TMO 6.5 ROM.

I searched all over the forums and still haven't found an answer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Using a higher resolution, especially in burst/sports modes, creates a significantly higher load on both the memory and the processor. I would suspect (but don't have any other evidence) that the higher resource consumption 6.5 is known for combined with how much you're adding by using the camera that way is just more than the phone can handle in that scenario.

Try using all the methods available here to reduce memory use as much as possible before using the camera that way. I'd test it out for you on my phone but I'm still running 6.1 just to avoid issues like that :cool:

BGR seems to think so. I'm SO getting one if it's true.
[Desire General] ionsof:
YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I never liked the htc sense but is gaining on me so much. Just waiting for the first one on AT&T's 3g. The nexus one I will put htc sense on for sure and the Desire I will root it so I can CHANGE from sense to stock android. Anybody's strategy for the first htc android phone on AT&T?
[Desire General] jkinnison90:
i want the desire. i like the sense UI and would rather have it on the device instead of using ROMs.

part of me wants the nexus, so updates are always out.. but there's always xda XD.
[Desire General] hiddengopher:
oh no! what if I buy an att desire for t-mobile, will I get 3g?
[Desire General] Ace42:
Oh please Heavenly Lord don't give such a beast to such a undeserving network! Let them stick with the iphone.

And to the above you will get 2G only!!!
[Desire General] bunu:
Down with AT&T!!!!:p

This phone should come to T-Mobile since they need an exclusive phone (the nexus one doesn't count because of that lame arse plan you have to get) that is really good.

Stick with your iPhone AT&T. You need the fanboys going over to you and let the "real" carriers get the Android phones.
[Desire General] DKM119:
I thought Tmobile was getting this phone??
[Desire General] ionsof:
I don't see why everone is dogging AT&T? ya i'm not in love with the carrier or iphone. In fact i'm one the biggest iphone haters alive, but AT&T is the only service where I get 3g and it is FAST. T-MOBILE gets edge at best on the nations 3rd largest carrier. I know AT&T doesn't get good service in some big cities but the best option for me and my area within a 250 mile rdaius. You should be excited att id getting an droid phone, but of course att will some how screw with android with some yahoo android apps or something.
[Desire General] vwauditech:
Desire!

This is most likely my next device. I am so glad to see that AT&T saw fit to get a real HTC with great specs. I have been anxiously awaiting which HTC device was coming my way. There is no way I was going to settle for the Backflip! They may also be getting the Sony Ericcson X10 which is also a nice device, but in my opinion nothing compared to the Desire. The confirmed Dell mini 3 is not even a consideration, but the mini 5 would definately have my attention. Cant wait to hear a release date, I know what I'm getting myself for my Bday in May if the release date works out.
[Desire General] corneliusm:
Your carrier fanboyism aside, I don't want an iphone. I can't switch to T-mobile. Know why? Because there's no T-mobile 3G where I live.

Millions of americans are in the same predicament, and choices are usually limited 1 or 2 carriers. For east Orlando, that means VZW or AT&T. Hence, despite T-mobile's awesome prices and great phones (I wanted an N1, HD2 and an N900, guess whose network they only work with?), there's an important reason why they're still #4- they keep avoiding us. So piss off...

That said, I want an N1 or Desire... hurry up AT&T!!!
[Desire General] bigo1087:
SO True.............The First Highend 3G HTC Phone ATT Carriers..IM all Over......N1, Desire ...Lets go........Time to move on from the G1....

Wish HTC would make a vairent with a keyboard tho.
[Desire General] aSquard:
I'm looking at either the Desire or the upcoming X10... Anyone know anything about a release date? I'm suffering from new phone fever over here and have been due for an upgrade for a while...
[Desire General] t-readyroc:
I don't think it'd make a whole lot of sense for TMo to get both the Nexus One (which they're rumored to get - subsidized on-contract, not the unlocked version) and the Desire; they're basically the same hardware...
[Desire General] hiddengopher:
I want this on tmobile so bad. i love tmobile
[Desire General] dunderbao:
Will the desire with its current specification run on at&t 3G network? I noticed the 850 band is only labeled GSM, while the 900/2100 is labeled HSDPA.

In this column, he mentions it will only run on 2G in the states.

[Desire General] venelar:
No. Need to wait for a US version otherwise the best you'll get is edge.
[Desire General] deekjx:
Lol, I have AT&T and I'll stay with them only if I can't get this phone with Verizon.

Problem is, AT&T drops lots of my calls, somewhere in the neighborhood of 5% around town and as high as 20% where I live. They seem fine other wise. When i'm traveling to other areas, life is good with them. Their devices work internationally and I can talk and surf at the same time. When I'm near my home which isn't a rural area at all, drop drop drop.
[Desire General] Jaa-Yoo:
Or find some way to get an unlocked one from Telstra Austrailia, they'll be rolling out the Desire next month. They run an 850Mhz 3G network and as with their 850Mhz Touch HD, their 850Mhz Desire should work on AT&T as well. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] t1000:
Recently flashed my tilt 2 rodium to energy rom. Everything works great except the bluetooth, for some reason the range sucks on it. If i move more then 6 feet from the phone and the headset, quality starts to get choppy. Never had the problem with the other phone. Any idea, or fix maybe??:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] t1000:
any help would be great
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
I'm not personally familiar with that ROM, but some of them may include a different radio than you had in your stock rom, and that can definitely affect BT performance. If you have a new radio in there now and are seeing issues like this, you can try out different radios to see if one gives you better results. Info and instructions HERE.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dicksonjoe:
I downloaded many apps onto my phone and when i set some of em as quicklinks it shows an error. The first time i click on the links it works, but after the second time it gives me an error. Im still with 1.48 rom and 2.5 manilla. Is it because my roms are out of date thats why it is giving me errors?? or perhaps is there an app that could resolve this problem?? THANKS
[Hero CDMA General] scriz:
I can't transfer files onto my hero anymore..after flashing gumbo 1.5c i've lost this ability. it may be completely unrelated..but I've tried just about everything..restarting the phone, restarting the computer, uninstalling from device manager, changed usb slots..

nothing seems to work, anyone have any suggestions?
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
Ok so no matter what custom lock screen i seem to use, it works for about 10 mins then my normal lockscreen starts to apply over the custom one even tho just 10 mins before it was disabled. Anyone know how to fix this?

EDIT:

Is this an issue with some apps with the .32 kernal?

Cuz I know that the LED Hack for the N1 isnt working on the .32 kernal.
[Nexus One General] jerrycycle:
I have the same issue with the lockscreens and I am till on 2.6.29.6 kernal. I have gone back to using keyguard disabler so I can use trackball to wake the phone. My holster didn't allow the other key to be activated be accident. Use bolter buddy to toggle ringer.
[Nexus One General] jerrycycle:
Checkout mylock (beta) on the market.
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
Are you using taskiller or a similar manager? If so some of them kill all apps on screen lock, which would kill your lock screen, or they kill on time or on autostart, just make sure theyre excluded from anything like that. Im on the .32 kernal and Nexus Torch is working for me so Im not sure about the LED issue.
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
Not the camera LED. Its called LED Hack for the n1. It stops the soft keys from staying lit when you have the phone docked.

Reverted back to CM 5.0.3.1 stock.

Lets see if the lock screens work.
[Android Software Development] talondesigns:
My team has been vigorously working on a CAD application for android. I will post some screenshots of the tool if anyone is interested, so please let me know.

It's currently being tested and developed using a Motorola Droid running 2.0.1. Although we can run the emulator and test different screens using it, we find great difficulty in knowing if the "feel" is nice on a smaller screen.

Anyway - current features that are working:

Objects: Line, Circle, Ellipse, Rectangle, 3 Point Arcs, Text Areas

Drawing Modes: Orthographic (including 45s), Grid On Off, Snap Mode On Off (Endpoints, Centerpoints, Midpoints, Quadrants)

Other Things: Undo, Redo, Erase, Modify (reshape & move), Pan, Layering System, Linetypes, Colors & Text Sizes.

In The Works: Zoom (Option for Pinch), Configurable Toolbar (Add/Remove Tools), Export to DXF & Linetypes.

We are looking for a few people that would be willing to get in on a "PRIVATE Beta" to assist us with the continued development. We have our day jobs, so this is a project that when we have time to work on, we do. However, we do spent quite a bit of time working on it :).

Anyway - We want to be picky about the testers, simply because we need to have a nice round group of people. Not plumpy, just round. We need a couple guys that are good with input, finding problems, etc. And we also need a few that dont know anything about CAD and can help us to see if the average joe can figure it out.

We also need a couple good mathmeticians or programmers. Or even one would do. We are having some trouble computing certain boundaries (ellipses to be more precise) that we need to understand so that we can build in other commands like Trim or Extend. (Plus our select option on ellipses is a bit hokey, but knowing how to find an ellipse will solve that for us)

For now, the only assistance I can give you is through the board here, and help you get started. The tutorial will come soon, once we get the basics figured out as to how we want to make it really work.

Anyway - To make a long story even longer - let me know if you might be interested. I would be more than happy to post some screenshots if you like of its current state. So let me know if you are interested.

Thank you very much for sticking through the long a$$ read, or even for skipping through to the "thanks" is enough for me.

That being said - LMK! :) Thanks!
[Android Software Development] Lancealot:
A capacitive touch screen doesn't seem a good candidate for controlling a smooth CAD experience. However on second thought, when coupling together this technology with a trackball, the possibilities really open up. Harness these well and I know you'll be onto something here.

Post some screens to show everyone the progress of your development and I'll let you know if I'd be interested in testing.

Cheers
[Android Software Development] zul8er:
Well if your looking for anyone with CAD knowledge, I have a degree in engineering with CAD, and Pro Engineer. I don't have much time to devote to beta testing, but I do have time every now and then. I run a ION with 1.6. Good luck on your software!
