So I was just looking at the Adobe video of the HD2 to see if there is any evidence that they were really using win mobile 6.5 (or if they were using a pre-build win 7).

And I noticed, the Adobe guy seems to be using a version of Internet Explorer with real pinch to zoom enabled!

Have I missed a recent development, because none of the copies of internet explorer which I have were multitouch enabled?

Video available here: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/flash-platform-in-action/htc-hd2-and-nexus-one/

hmm interesting, bumping this space to read other comments
[HD2 General] XDA mark:
First pocketnow, now this guy? What's up with people?

This video has been online for AT LEAST A MONTH. I have posted the link to that video over 5 times on this forum.

Anyway...

This video was made a few days before MWC. From what I see, flash seems to be working quite well on the HTC HD2. I still can not believe they stopped 'developing' flash for the HD2, just because 7 Series was announced... BS!

Anyway, maybe we will get that Internet Explorer with pinch-to-zoom some day. I won't use it though, because I will be gone to Android by then. But full flash won't reach the HD2... at least that's what Adobe said.
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
Both this and pocketnow treat multitouch and pinch to zoom and not flash. As per how old this is, you know how they say: old news is always someone's fresh news.
[HD2 General] pkchips:
I really don't think this is a widely known fact :S.

Its only been noted on pocketnow after this post.

I definitely didn't notice it the first time I saw the video. I just assumed he must be using opera.
[HD2 General] mmbika:
I have lost pinch-to-zoom in IE since I upgraded my Telstra HD2 to TMOUS ROM. I got that very annoying zoom bar which I have so far unsucessfully tried to get rid off!
[Nexus One General] tropmonky:
It's a SIMPLE question, do you think that the Windows 7 phones will have a halfass multitouch screen like our N1?
[Nexus One General] JJackson9995:
I have a feeling this is Windows' last chance in the cell phone market... Due to that, I'm sure they'll be pulling out all the stops. Especially with the success of Windows 7 for PC's.

Not that I'll be buying into the OS, but I wouldn't be surprised to see quite an amazing piece of technology either.
[Nexus One General] arkavat:
First of all.... windows 7 is an OS and N1 is a hardware... oranges and apple...

Touch screen issue is a pure hardware issue... so if HTC or someone else chooses clearpad 2000 over clearpad 3000 for screen...then yes! Win 7 (or any other OS ) will have the issue. Win Phone 7 (or android) has nothing to do with it.

EDIT: Actually... Win 7 has listed 4 point multi-touch as min specs.. so i guess..Win Phone 7 won't have this issue as clearpad 2000 doesn't fit into these specs.
[Nexus One General] tropmonky:
Hence the reason I said "Windows 7 Phones"...

Thanks for making my point further though. I really think HCT AND Google dropped the ball on this one. The main I want a new phone is because I HATE typing on this fricken thing... Basically the N1 keyboard is what I was fearing the iPhone keyboard was like when I first bought my iPhone 3G... But it was quite nice.. I can drunk type on the iPhone really easy! LOL... I can't even type fast sober on the N1 without it F'ing everything up...

Swype helps a bit though.. LOL.

Did you see the new videos out on the Win7Phones today.... Hmmmm yummy silverlight.. LOL (I still like the Android openness!).
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
You should try other keyboards, such as the HTC_IME, Swiftkey, or Better Keyboard (which has multi-touch depending on your definition, and a iphone skin). The HTC_IME, and Swiftkey does everything for you. It is not needed that you even type barely correctly at all, as it will correct you while even trying to learn your writing style (swiftkey). I can type as quickly as I did with my G1 in landscape mode.

Judging from your most recent comments though, it seems more so that you simply prefer Windows Seven more - or, you prefer phones that have better multi-touch screens altogether (duh lol), which isn't going to be HTC made Android phones for a while judging from recent discussion. I recommend you switch to Windows phones, for the time being. It may better suit what you are looking for at this time.

Losing one Android member won't hurt too bad.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Two point multi-touch is all you'd need for typing... I'm sure our touchscreens are capable of the same level of accuracy, but the software isn't as developed as the iPhone's. I like that keyboard as well...
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
a capacitive touch screen is a capacitive touch screen... the big question is will the software to read each input be well developed?

i think that all capacitive touch screens are capable of multi touch... it is just a matter of writing the software and developing the algorithms to sort out the movement of the two various inputs and keeping them separate and unique (unlike the problem the N1 currently has)

my bigger quarrel with the phone is the calibration issues when you rotate the phone landscape and then back to portrait, the senses are all off...
[Nexus One General] tropmonky:
I really don't wanta go to a Microsoft product even though my entire business runs on it, my company is a Microsoft partner and I hold a few Microsoft certs.. If anything I'd prob get a new iPhone later this year so I can download a bunch of the awesome apps I already purchased when I had my iPhone 3G for 2yrs... BUT I would really rather NOT. I really like the Android OS, the way it handles memory and background apps etc...

I hate to bust your bubble, but you just need info I think. You need a look at the info provided in this link.

http://androidandme.com/2010/03/news/a-closer-look-at-htcs-touch-sensors/

It's ALL because of the hardware they picked = poor, poor choice... I would have gladly paid an extra $20 or Whatever (I doubt it's that much more at the time) to have TRUE multitouch.

The problem I have when typing fast ALL the time stems from this issue pointed out in this video:

http://androidandme.com/2010/03/news/is-multitouch-broken-on-the-nexus-one/

You see how the dots are on the opposite sides where the fingers are? that's why I get F'ed up typing when typing fast... because the supposed "Multi-touch" is F'ing up, LOL.

One thing I demand out of my device is the ability to input easily. I use it for work and I get a bunch of emails every day I need to respond to when I'm on the road and with this crappy issue I loathe having to type out more than one sentence so I typically wait till I get to a computer. Hardly a "superphone" and hardly a good thing when it would be best for me to get back to my clients right away.

One big reason the iPhone was "OKAY" without a physical keyboard is because of the ease of typing on it... Every other hardware manufacturer out there needs to get their head out of their ass and realize this so that phones can get out of the single finger "poke, poke" era... Apple (as much as I hate to admit it) figured this out with their VERY FIRST device. As much as I don't like Apple for a lot of their practices I somewhat cheer them on because they are one of the ONLY USA companies to push out award winning products in a landscape dominated by Asian companies...

I'll still take my windows over OSX any day though, LOL. (in a VMware environment, LOL).
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Dude... it's obvious you've written off the N1 as a failure. Frankly, you're sounding just like coolVariable (search for his posts if you don't know what I'm talking about). Yeah, it would probably have cost them $10-15 more for the Cleartouch 3000, but there's nothing that can be done about it now. If you don't like the phone, sell it. If you like it, find another keyboard that works better (there are several). Either way, there's no point saying the same thing over and over... you've used the term "halfass touchscreen" in at least one other thread today. Stop *****ing and crying about it and chill out already!
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
What is the point of this useless thread?

How in the hell would anyone here know what Microsoft is putting in their devices that won't be released for another 6 months?

Looking over your posts, this seems like nothing more than a nerd-rage vent post.

Can a mod please lock this useless pile of crap thread?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infon1:
Am trying to unlock my n1 so I can get to install cyanogen rom but am stuck after installing Android sdk and Usb drivers, am following some steps but am stuck trying to locate the USB driver, this is part of what was stated in the direction (You can check if your Android USB drivers are installed by going to “Printers & Devices” on Windows 7.* (and I think you can check Device Manager for other versions of Windows). I check the device manager on my pc and still didn't locate it,anybody have an idea like where I can find the USB drivers.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
this has been discussed 100 times and is also in the "informative links" sticky.

Please do a search. The driver comes with the SDK.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] leave:
I have flashed a new 1.5rom (3.05.401.3), the browser and other apps using internet is ok, and I have signed in and synced with my google account already.

But when I open the market, it shows the Android Market Terms of Service is downloading, and the "accept" button is dark gray, cannot be clicked.

That's the problem, could anyone give me a solution ? Thanks!
[HD2 General] n4v1n:
Idk how this can be implemented but I would love to make it so that when i flick through my many emails on sense, they get marked as read.
[HD2 General] elburna:
Sorry mate but thats just not possible yet. One improvement has been done on the newest ROMs (2.10): When u open up the menu in Sense-EmailTab you can know directly delete them without opening your inbox. But marking as read is still not possible. Would have appreciated this as well but no chance....
[HD2 General] tonycosta:
I also was looking for this. Best I found was an addition to mark all as read which took some of the pain out of loads of spam mail
[HD2 General] elburna:
You mean in the Inbox or directly via the Sense-UI :eek: ?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] illidan1:
Hi--

I have the VZW touch pro 2. I am having two issues:

1) switching back and forth between 2 calls is super fail. The "flash" button seems to join calls? And/or disconnect them? It's not at all clear what's going on.

2) I can't figure out how to initiate a conference call

I understand from a quick Google search that VZW removed the HTC conference calling software. Is there a fix? I am running the stock ROM (downloaded the WinMo 6.5 and TouchFlo3D update)

Thanks for any help!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] burtonsnow8:
MightyROM adds this feature back into the software. I just use the send key to switch back and forth between calls, it seems to work flawlessly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] domuhhnic:
sad cause this will get locked soon.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] oshizzle1991:
why? all we need is someone who can confirm this is true on xda and it will be stickied EVERYWHERE
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kemimarie:
LOCKED?

Why will this get locked??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kemimarie:
Yuppie

Exactly .. but i dont know anyone with a bricked phone so i cant ask them if it works.. if it gets locked (whatever that means) i'll repost it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] digitaljeff:
id be interested to see if this works... although its assuming you have a dream/g1 .. did you post this in the g1 section?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kemimarie:
POST?

Yes, I have a HTC MAJIC/MYTOUCH .. nope i have not posted it there but i will now :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] fallos:
i tried to update radio and now :

So you can’t access bootloader or recovery and the only thing that works is the blue led trick when pressing trackball + power button??

Try all of this methods , but no result..

phone just shows htc magic when i turn it on usually, and nothing!

what can i do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kemimarie:
...

Im still looking of ways to unbrick phones :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kemimarie:
Possible hint!

Has anyone tried using adb .. Reflashing the recovery img??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kemimarie:
...another hint..

run fastboot boot recovery-image.img or whatever you named your recovery image. It'll display "waiting for device..." message just keep pluging it in, unplugging, popping the battery and eventually your device will respond and boot into recovery.

Someone bricked and i did it... twice trying to flash the eng 2010 SPL. It worked the third time and my device is up and running again with an engineering SPL.

if your device is stuck on the first splash but displays in red "Fastboot USB" message in the upper left corner of the screen, DO NOT power it down. run the above mentioned command and reflash.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ch3w:
deleted... double post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kemimarie:
Found another hint

try that on your g1/mytouch!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ch3w:
this method worked on my second bricked magic, still trying it on the first one but... no luck yet. i had the same problem with both of them tho :o
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
fastboot boot recovery?

boot.img and recovery.img are two totally different things.

The recovery (amon_ra is preferred)

The boot.img is where the kernel, ramdisk, etc resides.

you must've meant fastboot flash boot boot.img

or

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

but not both.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kemimarie:
YAAYY!! Im glad to hear you say you had some success! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kemimarie:
I just copied and pasted from a website.. THEY did that and it worked for them lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Muscleboy:
bricked Mytouch3g

Bricked mytouch3g -- brandnew phone. Just tried to flash cyanogen test3 and everything went fine but then I rebooted and all I have is vodafone boot screen, nothing else works but the blue led which will not load any img. adp doesn't work it never detects a phone no matter what you do. It was the first flash too. Crazy how HTC didn't make a built in hard reset like you have on windows mobile phones. You wonder if they want people to crash there phones so they have to replace them ect etc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
"fastboot boot blahblah.img" is used to boot temporarily from a recovery image located on your computer that hasn't been flashed to the phone. Not to bring up an old subject or anything.

Hard Reset?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
I had a couple problems so i unrooted then rerooted then i kept trying to flash recovery 1.6.2 but it kept comming up with file not found on the sdcard so i put the file in the tools folder and used android commander. It came up with 2 # then the screen went blank and it sat there so after a few minutes i did a battery pull and now i cant boot into recovery. It just sits at the boot screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ieatstarz1:
how long has it sat there? sometimes you have to give it a few minutes after going thru all that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
By the way if i dont try to boot into recovery it loads fine how can i reload the reocvery?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
Probably 5 minutes and no go
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ieatstarz1:
How were you loading it in the first place? Have you checked to see if its on your card? When pushing the image, are you using the exact image name, i.e, v1.6.2-(color).img.? Also, are you holding the end-home keys at the same time long enough to see it come up?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
when i first was trying i opened the terminal i had on the phone and typed flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-1.6.2.img and it kept comming up with bad filename(wwhich i had renamed the file to that so i dont know why) then i put it in the tools folder and tried the same from commander and it got me to here ;\
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ieatstarz1:
What method are you using? Try amon ras or the method used to push it to your card thru root.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
havent heard of amon ras.....i just pushed it to the sdcard again and tried the same command and end up with the same thing iam trying to unroot again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
nope came up with bootloader error for the unroot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
tried using kitchen to reroot but it comes up with errors
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ieatstarz1:
Okay, these are Amon RAs methods just depending on what your using:

Install

There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most (I probably forgot a few).

via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys)

Code:

Copy recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img to the root of your sdcard

Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)

Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...

adb shell

$su (not required if you have root already)

#mount -a

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.imgvia fastboot + adb -> In case you don't have a custom recovery, so when you get signature fail errors

Code:

adb shell reboot bootloader

fastboot boot recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img

adb shell mount /sdcard

adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img

adb shell reboot

Or thru adb try this:

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

adb shell

adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v<name>/sdcard

adb shell reboot

adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img /sdcard

Pushing is equivalent of copy the file to the root of your sdcard. By the time you finished reading this it should be done. You'll know its done because the ouput will say something like transferred X bytes in X secs.

adb shell reboot

This will cause the phone to restart automatically. Wait till it is fully booted to continue.

adb shell

su

cd /sdcard/

flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img

FLASHING TO THE RECOVERY TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS-- BE PATIENT. ENTER THE NEXT COMMAND ONLY AFTER THE COMMAND PROMPT RETURNS TO THE # (ROOT SYMBOL).

reboot recovery

This was complements of theresthatguy's method. Hope this helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoLoDaR1:
to tell you the truth 1.6.2 is basically the same as 1.5.2 the only diff is the power off option and the carebear color so if you have 1.5.2 you should just keep it since you are having trouble installing it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
I had 1.2.3 or whatever it was thats why i was gonna just shoot to 1.6.2 i had done it before but i dont know what happened this time. I tried the way thru adb and it has been sitting so far 10 minutes and it is still sitting at the boot screen
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
The first one wont work i cant get into recovery.....the second one i get "fastboot is not recognized as a internal command"and the third is the one i have been trying....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoLoDaR1:
im not sure man i had trouble flashing it also try renameing it to something simple like 1.6.2.img and go to better terminal emulator type in su enter than type in the comands to flash it

flash_image /sdcard/1.6.2.img enter

do not enter mount-a before this this was the problem i was having after you hit enter just type in reboot recovery and you should have 1.6.2 also maKE sure this file is the only file on your sd card that helps good luck man let me know what happens
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
yeah i renamed it to recovery-1.6.2.img and i just downloaded better terminal but how do you get the keyboard up?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoLoDaR1:
just tap the screen
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoLoDaR1:
do you have g talk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
sent pm to you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TechniShawn:
This is what worked for me.

The 1.6.2 version did exactly to me like it is doing to you. I couldn't boot in to the recovery screen.

Sooo. I pushed the 1.5.2 image to the sdcard and then I

adb shell

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img

I was then able to boot into the 1.5.2 recovery

I then pushed the 1.6.2 image again and then it worked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
that didnt work either....iam taking it that its bricked i guess i will have to call sprint
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phishstics:
did the same thing. rooted, tried to 'unroot' and couldn't get past the boot screen. theres a temporary boot method if you search around the forum, but once you turn the phone off, you will need to do it again. i ended up swapping mine out at sprint, and am waiting for the official rom update before trying any sort of rooting again. hopefully you've got the insurance, or are within the 30 day return period, like i was.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
Yeah i have insurance and i think iam within the 30 days
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Capostrophy:
Are you using the 1.56RUU to unroot? You shouldn't be getting a bootloader error thru the RUU.

Also, did you download the rooting fix for the pre-kitchen before you re-rooted? It should be a download on the same page as the kitchen. Just swap out the old .exe with the new one.

I would give you direct links, but I'm new here so I can't post links....just go to the ROMs wiki page and get the 1.56RUU and the fresh pre-kitchen(+root fix).

might also be a good idea to re-download the newer recovery and REPLACE it(by re-naming exactly as the old one) the recovery-v1.5.2... file that is in the "root" folder within the kitchen. If you do this before you re-root you shoud get the new recovery.

Hope this helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
I got the bootloader error on the 1.29 version and i just tried the 1.55ruu again and then it went threw pretty far and then came up "file error 110" and i just clicked exit and the screen went blank.....now it wont power on or anything....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
delete this message admins double post
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Capostrophy:
what kind of "problems" did you have before you ran the first RUU? If the phone was already 1.56 you aren't suppossed to run the 1.29.

Had you flashed the 2.xxxradio?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
i took tthe phone in to sprint they are giving me a replacement.....i had flash 1.6.2 and then the radio update from flipz. After those i had flashed fresh 2.0b2 and then Darchlegend....Then i flashed Damageless and when i flash Damageless things were all "squished" and lagging so then i wiped and reinstalled Damageless rom again. After that it was the same so i used ruu1.56 to unroot then used kitchen to root again which took me back to 1.29. Then i was trying to flash 1.6..2 when i ran into the problems with recovery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Capostrophy:
Good luck with the new one.

This is why the new radio update scares the crap outta me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWicked1:
Yeah i was nervous when i did it and it was sucessful just the damn recovery screwed me later lol
[G1 Apps and Games] SilentTweak:
Is there any app out there that will backup your files via Bluetooth or WiFi when you're in range to your PC? Like it cross checks to make sure the files on your Phone are the same on your PC. Sync and update new files.
