Stop worrying Ash :)

As already said it's probably static electricity from your jumper/coat/shirt jumping from the metal parts of the earphone to your ear. (unless you got one of those ear/nose trimmer things that has left you with spiky little hairs in your ears :D)

Technically there is almost totally zero chance of there being a high voltage fault in your HD2 and you already proved that it isn't the phone as you get the same shock from the 'phones in your iPod.

Carry on using the phone and headphones but stop buying nylon jumpers and shirts at Primark, get some nice cotton ones instead ;)

[HD2 Accessories] operative1:
i get a electric shock if i use the headphones in my laptop :P dunno why
[HD2 Accessories] RalphS:
Nothing to do with mobiles, but I get static electricity shocks from my metal cased 'in-ear' phones on the treadmills in the gym.

The treadmill "belt" being a good insulator; Similar in principal to a Van de Graff generator.

Keeps me on my toes....
[HD2 Accessories] btyeh:
You need to ground yourself.
[HD2 Accessories] pa49:
And avoid dry atmosphere.
[HD2 Accessories] faisman:
is your phone connected to ur pc/laptop via usb? i sometimes get a shock when i touch my phone whilst its connected.
[HD2 Accessories] Kalavere:
You know I have been having the same thing with my iPod just lately, using a pair of Sennheiser CX 300 II headphones. And it's only ever in my right ear, very strange. O.o
[HD2 Accessories] MonnieRock:
Hello Everyone,

That's not a shock.This is a shock :eek:
[HD2 Accessories] williamsean:
Shock therapy?

I have this problem with my HD2 too!

When i use my phone on battery the shock is very small, just a little bit annoying, sometimes i don't even notest it. But when i connect my phone to a computer using the USB connector, the shock is really intense sometimes. Just 5 minutes ago i got a shock that even made me a little bit dizzy. Changing earplugs doesn't solve the situation.

I'm not using my earphones anymore when my computer is connected to the phone, witch is not acceptable! Too bad the phone is such a good phone, so going back to the shop is not a option. I hope HTC will have a fix for this, but i think that it will stay with me hoping for a solution.
[HD2 Accessories] ~~Tito~~:
Jesus! :eek: What was going on there! Scared the **** out of me, was he dead?
[HD2 Accessories] kilrah:
HAHAHA

The phone has nothing to do in that, only dry air and static electricity, you'd have the same with another phone or mp3 player :p

When you connect the device to USB, you connect it directly to ground through the PC, and just give an even better path for the static electricity you're holding to escape :)

These days where it's so cold outside here and thus the air inside is so dry, every time I walk through my flat I get loaded and will get a serious shock whenever I come too close to something that's grounded. The other day I managed to make my desktop PC crash and reset on its own by going to fetch my headphones and plugging them in without thinking to discharge myself by touching the case first...
[HD2 Accessories] MonnieRock:
My assumption is, that guy was on a suicide mission. The minute he touched those high voltage lines, he was crispy inside and out. Not the mention he dehydrated so quickly from the voltage,he caught on fire like a piece of petrified wood.
[HD2 Accessories] CaCtuZ123:
I have a bigger problem :(

Today at work I got an electric shock thru earphones and the touchscreen sensors died within....screen works but no response.

Wonder if warranty will cover repairs/replacement?

Still nice to get some oldschool lobotomy-shock treatments, wakes me up at work :D
[HD2 Accessories] MonnieRock:
Were you on battery power or plugged into AC power?

Thank you,

Monnie
[HD2 Accessories] CaCtuZ123:
Battery power, on my way to work :(

No music at work and no HD 2....devastated.

And now I read a thread about plastic replacement screens for HD 2 :(
[HD2 Accessories] spaanplaat:
Thanks for the waring... will stick with bluetooth

Electric shock? Phew... I never tried the earphone pieces and from the looks of it I don't want to either... So if I read this right the shock can disable touch function from the screen? Perhaps it is better if you all try out a bluetooth headset instead?
[HD2 Accessories] CaCtuZ123:
It doesn't matter now that the screen is damaged.

HD 2 is made of metal, don't think it matters if I have a wire or not.

But I'll give it a try when I get it back from the repairs.

Funny thou, I had to go back to my Blackstone and no electric shocks, made of plastic :D

Any tip of some good BT headset/earphones?
[HD2 Accessories] ClementNg23:
So are you guys using the earpiece foam cover provided in the box?

and does that matter if you don't??

p.s. never got a shock before with earpiece while listening to music... this thread still seems strange to me... :p
[HD2 Accessories] cozzykim:
Sorry, but you are wrong, these shocks are from static electricity jumping across the small gap between the headphone metal parts and your ears, to do that you have to have a wired connection between the phone and earpiece.

I said it before, kilrah said it before, here it is again:

IT IS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PHONE, except that the metal battery cover gives a good connection for the static electricity to be transferred to the phone ground.

CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES/SHOES/CARPETS.

Or, if you believe in aliens as well, make a pointy hat out of aluminium foil to discharge the current from your head by point emission (but don't wear it outside in a storm or you might get more than a little shock) :D :D :D :D
[HD2 Accessories] MonnieRock:
CaCtuZ123,

I suggest the one in my signature, Sony Ericsson MW600

Thank you,

Monnie
[HD2 Accessories] AshleyNG2:
Thanks everyone for the replies and laughs :p only had six shocks today from my earphones, not a bad day at all !!

It's quite funny now, I've gotten used to the feeling so when it happens it doesn't bother me as much so I just carry on.

But if this is going to be the death of me I am personally going to hold you all responsible!! :mad:

Cheers.

HTC desire z. Headphone shocks

Ummm... I just got this phone and I've had countless phones in the past as well as many, many headphones. I've never, ever before gotten shocked by my headphones. Yet, I too am having this issue with this phone and these headphones. It's very unpleasant. It's a bunch of tiny, prickly little shocks. It's not happening every single time I wear the headphones but almost. I end up removing them after about 5 minutes. It's not painful but very unpleasant. I wish more people would post about it and maybe HTC can explain this phenomenon.
[HD2 Accessories] patanello:
i've had the same excact issue using the earphones to listen some mp3's while using endomodo tracker..basically if i'm listenin' some mp3's alone, zero problems..if i'm doin' other stuff while listenin music...BZZZZZZZ! not good.
[HD2 Accessories] Seelier:
Follow up...

Today I plugged the HTC earphones into my laptop. Zero shocks. Very comfortable. Good sound even. So.... I think it's the phone. The zaps are not good. I might write the company.
[HD2 Accessories] MD5Hash:
HTC Desire, too

I've had the HTC Desire for four months, but only started wearing the 'phones last month on my way to work. It's January in Wisconsin, so very dry air and these things always give me little unpleasant prickles throughout my ears. It's not painful but always make me jolt a little bit because it's unexpected and random.

I owned an iPod Touch for two years and it never occurred with their headphones, or a sony in-ear set that I also used (but recently lost, which is why I'm using the stock HTC Desire ones).

I feel that HTC should provide us with better-designed headphones that don't have any conducting pieces in contact with the skin.
[HD2 Accessories] seriag:
You should report this issue to your phone Carrier and they're usually very happy to replace anything broken

Can the g-sensor be utilized as a compass thru an application ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] boarderknb23:
No, the g-sensor is not a magnetic detector, common sense. One detects gravitational fields, the other detects magnetic fields, the two are not interchangeable..... thread should be closed/deleted
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Agent Blair:
You can use the GPS as a compass kind of: http://www.visualgps.net/BeeLineGPS/

Not as good as a real compass but better than nothing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] StevePritchard:
Yeah something like that will require movement in order to determine the bearing, which is about as good as the hardware can do. The other option is to use Google Maps - the map is always oriented North-South, so if you can spot a couple of landmarks around you, then orientate the phone to those, then the phone itself will point North.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] HooloovooUK:
The geocaching application GCz shows you where the sun should be at the current time on it's GPS display. So assuming it's not so overcast you can't see exactly where the sun is, it's very easy to orientate yourself and get a north reference.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Coach:
WTF

Why would that be then?
[Nexus One General] lpasq:
So apparently Google is coming out with a N1.5 with 3G Band I (2100Mhz), II (1900Mz) and V (850Mhz), versus the N1 Bands I (2100Mhz), IV (1700Mhz) and VIII (900Mhz).

I do not understand why Google's flagship HTC handset doesn't support every frequency and they (whomever "they" may be) simply enable/disable in software?!

Anyway, I guess this means N1.5 will work on AT&T 3G.

Any insider tracking the Google release date for the AT&T capable Nexus?
[Nexus One General] uberingram:
Care to share an actual source?

i thought the bb9700 supports all? http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010...-blackberrys-3g-bands-are-no-longer-relevant/
[Nexus One General] lpasq:
no official source. just internet surfing and that's why i am asking here to hear if anyone has update info... like maybe a google or htc spy ;)
[Nexus One General] dahui9:
I was told by my AT&T representative for the SE region of RS that the phone is ready and is being tested to meet AT&T specs for speed on not only 3G but the upgraded HSPA networks. They however did not specify a date other than 2010 for the AT&T version. Soooo.... we shall see, normally they are right with the products coming to the market, like the Moto backflip which I knew personally was going to AT&T over a year ago. :D

-Charlie
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Did you know they would cripple the Backflip into a piece of **** a year ago too? :D
[Nexus One General] dahui9:
LOL this I didn't, being an avid android lover from day one my AT&T rep got to know me because of the question when we would get an android device.

But AT&T being the best service in my area I can't wait for this!

-Charlie
[Nexus One General] lpasq:
dahui9: thanks for sharing what you heard :)
[Nexus One General] Volker1:
There is no chipset/antenna design that supports all UMTS bands at the same time. The bgr was just wrong, there are two distinct bb9700: one for t-mobile and one for att.
[Nexus One General] ryan22158:
Yeah, that is a sad excuse of an Android phone. ATT is going the way of the big V. No open access to an open source project.

Just stupid if you ask me.
[Nexus One General] deprecate:
I wonder what they are going to do to the nexus..remove the unlockable bootloader perhaps? I also wonder if Verizon is going to do the same...

Being on ATT with a nexus one, I really do want to be excited by this news as I am tired of being on edge (thankfully I have wifi available most of the time), but I am concerned about the lengths ATT will go to after seeing what they pulled with the backflip.

I will just sit and wait and watch. Worst case scenario, my cell contract will run dry next year and if ATT buggers up the nexus I can always migrate to TMO with a new contract...best case scenario...I can sell my current nexus to offset the cost of a new one that will take advantage of ATT's 3g...hopefully by then all those dreaded iphones will have moved on reducing the dropped call rate and slow 3g found in my area (seattle).
[Nexus One General] Bicster_:
Two changes needed to support different 3G bands:

1. Antenna

2. Baseband firmware
[Nexus One General] lpasq:
oh. i get it know. thanks volker1 :)

deprecate: i feel your pain. i wore out my tilt waiting for tilt2...got tired of waiting after device released on other carriers first...and ordered a rogers magic in frustration. now i wonder if google saves us all by selling a google nexus unlocked running att 3g band(s). anyway, i'm an android convert and glad to be. though you lack 3g, you have an awesome device ;)
[Nexus One General] deprecate:
Oh I know it. The moment I got rid of my G1 in favour of an iphone when I swtiched from tmo -> att I knew I made a mistake...

I have zero regrets about having the nexus; here's hoping ATT doesn't get a bug up its arse and handicap an amazing device because they seem to run their company as though they have pants on their heads.

[deleted] ....dead thread...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kassemalaa:
Ok, so for those of us who hate the the Sense lockscreen and removed that abomination, i came up with a workaround for the alarm. This is my first time attempting to help the community, please be easy on me ;)

So here's the situation, i removed the Sense lockscreen so i could have the vanilla android lockscreen (more useful). Two problems arised:

1. The lockscreen is transparent, and honnestly i don't mind, but i know some of us don't like it

2. The 1st alarm (i.e. when the screen is locked) cannot be dismissed, since it is tied with the Sense lockscreen, so we would have to wait for the reminder with the screen unlocked, or set the alarm one minute ahead so we can dismiss it when it goes off again...

As you can see, that's not a very convenient solution, so i thought of an alternative and it worked :) it's pretty straight forward as it involves removing the htc clock app and reinstalling the DeskClock.apk.

Here's what i did:

1) went in root manager and removed HtcClockWidget.apk and ClockWidget.apk

2) installed DeskClock.apk (included below)

3) restarted the phone

There you have it, the stock android clock may not be as cool as the htc one, but it gets the job done and takes care of the "1st-alarm-in-the-morning-waking-up-the-whole-house-because-it-wont-shut-up" thing!

Hope it helps!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinof:
hey - thanks for that. Same thing happened to me (woke up the whole house!) so this is great.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
does the DeskClock take care of the transparent lockscreen as well?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Or just install a 3rd party alarm app from the market :)

I use "alarming"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noel_leon:
Does the aosp Deskclock app have a timer function yet? Because that's yet another issue for me xD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kassemalaa:
re:

Unfortunately no timer. The only thing i miss about the htc alarm is the way you could set the time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kassemalaa:
re:

It doesn't take care of the transparency, but i can live with that. I guess we have to wait until some talented dev figures out a way to fix this ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ratteken:
Hi,

I have a HTC magic (Belgian proximus edition).

When I try to setup exchange account to sync with gmail, I am always getting an "authentication failed" error.

I am typing:

my full gmail address: ...

server address: m.google.com

domain: (left blank)

username: my full gmail address

password: xxxx

and tick: This server requires an encrypted SSL connection.

Anyone has a clue for this please ?

Thanks for your help
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jcohenlv:
Do you have an exchange server you are trying to connect to?

If so then m.google.com is the wrong address. This address should be the address to your exchange server something like webmail.mydomain.com

like for my old exchange server it was mail.jasoncohenitservices.com when I had an exchange server.

m.google.com is not a valid address.

Is this a company email accout you are trying to set up?

if you are attempting to connect to a gmail address you use EMAIL program not the exchange sync email. google does not use exchange for their mail service.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] l0lcats:
I find that "Work Email," as it is called on my MyTouch 3G, is very unreliable and slow. It's spotty and quite frankly I would like something better. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jcohenlv:
Dont blame the app, blame your companies network. the phone has nothing to do with how fast your emails are delivered to you. i get mine before they even hit my inbox at work on my MyTouch3g using "work email"
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] l0lcats:
Gotta blame the phone/app. Co-worker has an iPod touch connected to the office's wifi and he gets the emails in before the client does. I, too, connected my phone to the office's wifi and had a weaker signal than his iPod did (even had no signal where his had five bars) AND the "Work Email" client was slow to sync and missed emails. I have it to get emails as they arrive too.

I also deleted a folder on the client then sync'd Work Email and the folder still shows up there with no way to delete it in sight. So, yeah, really going to have to go with the phone and software as the problem...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ratteken:
The idea behind it is to syncronize my HTC magic with GMAIL calendar.

Looking at the info I found on the web, I had to configure the "exchange" settings with that google address to sync via "push" (3G).

Seems to work with many users in this way, but I can't get it to work on my HTC.

There is as far as I know, no software that syncs FROM the calendar of HTC TO outlook or Gmail Calendar. As I am not in a company, setting up an exchange server is not an option for me (price is too high).

In fact I am just looking for a way to have my Outlook Calendar synced with my HTC calendar and vice versa. If this works via USB or wireless, this is fine for me. In addition it would be nice to make it work via 3G too.

As I don't have an exchange server, Gmail Calendar looked a good alternative to me ?

Any other suggestions otherwise ?

Thanks

Regards
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jcohenlv:
Gotta be something wrong with your phone. Me and all of my co-workers on android all receive our emails before our Winmo, Crackberry, and iCrap users. This is using EDGE as none of us have a 3G connection in the office.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ratteken:
Ok ...

Now back to the original question please ?

Following to the internet it seems to be possible to push the calendar of an android device to google mail.

What is the exact procedure please as I don't get it to work. And YES they are using "exchange setup" for this on the HTC !

Thanks for your help ...

Regards
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jcohenlv:
My suggestion just start using google calendar and use your phones browser over 3G. The HTC calendar sucks in my opinion.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jcohenlv:
i also found this online:

If you told the device to sync with google when you set it up you will have the synced events in a calendar called "yourname" (first part of your google account).

The ones that don't sync I think you have put in "My Calendar" which is only local on your phone

[Legend General] vegetaleb:
Tech radar did a very good full review of the Legend!!

Some questions have been answered for me:

-VGA camera video recording instead of CIF

-Very nice under direct sunlight opposed to the N1

Here's the Review: http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/htc-legend-675421/review?artc_pg=1
[Legend General] ohyeahar:
Excellent find! Thanks!

I can't wait to get my hands on it when it starts shipping in April!

A couple of concerns I have based on that review:

- can't edit office docs natively

- non-hotswappable microSD

- battery life concern

- buggy wifi and bluetooth connections: I hope this is just because the device was an early non-retail build.

Also the review had the following to say about text-reflow in the browser:

One slight downside - we've let iPhone users play with the HTC Legend (we know, sacrilege) and they've said the text resizing takes longer than on their phone - if this doesn't apply to you, we doubt you'll notice it.

To that I say, "What?!". I wasn't aware the iPhone Safari browser did text-reflow at all! My iPod Touch certainly doesn't! Those fanboys are just sour that something better is out there...
[Legend General] vegetaleb:
About battery life with

ALL

new cell phones since 2008 we need at least 6 weeks of battery cycles before saying if it's bad or not, Nobody can judge out of the box if the battery is good or not.

When I bought 2 months ago my SE Aino the battery had to be recharged overnight on first week and I am not a heavy user...now 2 months later the battery is lasting 3 days and half. This experience was the same with my ex-Satio and ex-5800, so I think we don't have to worry about Legend's battery!

The review also complain a little on screen resolution while we know that it's 320x480 on a 3.2'' surface while the iphone (which has a very good reputation for its screen rendering) is the same resolution on a larger surface 3.5'', so the Legend beat down the iphone all the way in this field. And yes HTC could have used the wide empty space under the screen for an additonal 0.2'' but they didn't :(

What the review doesn't say that's interesting is the ringtone volume :confused:

There are still some questions this Review doesn't answer:

- Will the Black version be released in April? (Better for scratches)

- What will be the capacity of the SD card?

[Legend General] ohyeahar:
Great finds! Thanks!

I'm not sure if it's good or bad that nobody else mentioned the bluetooth/wifi issues that Tech Radar's review had. Either it was a one-off thing or the other reviewers didn't test those features.

Btw, that CNET review ticked me off. The reviewer sounded like an Apple fanboy with phrases like this:

Android is still clunkier and geekier than the iPhone operating system but, if you can't live without features like Flash support, the Legend is a fantastic alternative to Apple's handset.

Then I looked up another article that she wrote and it all makes sense.
[Legend General] vegetaleb:
Yep Apple bought tons of ''tech journalists'' since the Ipod and Iphone.

The only thing that I didn't like is that the paint can scratch easily, and no word yet about a coming release of the black edition,ok the Legend is ''Alu inside'' but I personally preffer the brushed metal of Hero over the ''cheap'' paint
[Legend General] KK43:
I'm not so sure you guys are right about cnet's reviewer, if you've read a few more reviews and listened to the cnet podcast you'd know that she's a big fan of android.

It's not a bad thing that android is labeled geekier than the iphone, since the iphone is the dumb blond of the smartphone world, and that will always have more mass appeal
