The Noob Flashing Tut is as good as it gets;). There is however also a video version if you really can't make head or tail of it and if that's the case I'd question as to whether you should be flashing in the first place. The HD2 is an expensive device to be doing things with that you are familiar with. It is a relatively simple process however and often sounds a lot harder than it really is. Just follow the steps and they really are Foolproof. If you got a Bad ID version error that means that the hspl version you tried is not the right one for your device.

This thread is in the wrong space and if you want help, ask your questions in the Flashing guide thread.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logger:
Is there a way set a discrete ringtone to unknown callers.

Apparently there are three different types of unknown calls:

1. Calls from number-withheld callers.

2. Calls from a public telephone.

3. Calls from the environment where you are unable to notify the number.

It is not possible to treat the three separately.

No problems here... All I want is for my phone to use a specific ringtone for these calls, that is different to the default one I assign to contacts or calls from non withheld numbers.

I do not want to block or divert or silence them, which is what the current unknown number Applications do.

I do not want a different ringtone for callers not in contacts.

I get a lot of legitimate calls from a single "unknown caller" who is i fact my employer who uses number-withheld. So I want my phone to ring differently when they call .

The Nexus call log does not let you add Unknown to contacts, which I have read in another forum as a suggested solution.

Any ideas?

Anybody smart enough to get the youtube app (version 2.6 standard installed by HTC) to be shown in Landscape Mode, I mean the Main Menu (not while playing a video because that is already in landscape mode)?

:confused::confused::confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
I just forced it into landscape using PLToggle (see in my sig ;)), but the application won't work like that. It just isn't coded to work in landscape I'm afraid.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] djchubbs:
use BSB tweaks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Still won't work. The app won't go landscape.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
Check: HKLM/Software/HTC/YouTube/EnableRotate

Set that entry to 1.

I had to do that to mine to make it work, hope thats the same for you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Yes - that makes the app capable of rotation, but you still need to use something to rotate the app, so BsBTweaks is the simplest solution.

Nice find - thanks :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
Yeh, i believe all that BsB tweaks does is add items to the g-sensor white list, but yes BsB Tweaks is the best way to do it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Nice guy's! Thanks! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Audio Oblivion:
that is indeed a nice reg entry find...

unfortunately though... it didnt work for me =(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
Have you added the program to BsB tweaks rotation list?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Audio Oblivion:
certainly did! plus... i was the one who wrote this before bsb tweaks was even out: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=589570&highlight=rotating+registry

so i sort of know what im doing when it comes to rotation =)

im thinking this may be rom dependent? cant think of any other reason it didnt work if it does for you?!?! any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
ahhh, fair enough :P

Only thing I can think of is the registry entry in your whitelist?

in mine its set as, YouTube with string of HTCYOUTUBE

Maybe, maybe not.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Are you talking about different versions of YouTube? Remember that there's the nice looking but limited HTC version that came with the phone, and then the ugly but with better functionality version that Google released a while back.

Edit:

Actually, scratch that because I can get both versions to rotate, so it's obviously nothing to do with that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Audio Oblivion:
its all there... first thing i checked after adding it in with bsb.

maybe theres another class that needs to be added?

what is really weird here is after enabling rotate with your little reg tweak it should have worked straight away as i use gyrator 2 nowadays to rotate EVERY screen on the device regardless.

It doesnt even matter if i cant get it going... its not the end of the world... but now im simply curious as to why it works for others and not me?

maybe the rom has to be manila landscape enabled!?!?! that the only thing i can think of as i use a stock rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Audio Oblivion:
ah... i was replying before you edited.

Your edit has dashed my hopes for glory in this conquest.

oh well... such is life!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] paultje_007:
Thanks!

Got it to work and it works great.

Used all your registry tweaks:

Check: HKLM/Software/HTC/YouTube/EnableRotate

Set that entry to 1.

Check: HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\Gsensor\ModuleName

Add a new STRING Value:

Name: YouTube

Value: \Windows\Youtube.exe

Check: HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\Gsensor\Whitelist

Add a new STRING Value:

I am happy with it.

I have it rotating great....but anyone find that when youre watching a video you cant touch the screen...it wont respond?

And you need to flip back to portrait when the video is playing to be able to touch the screen?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] paultje_007:
Yes, that's true. Eitherway, it's a choice to have YT in landscape mode, and because the playing of the video was already set in landscape mode, it flips another 90 degrees. Therefore you cant select stop,pauze,back buttons etc.

So it's not that it doesn't respond, it does, but it cannot comply having a landscape view set to landscape mode.

The YT app just simple doesn;t understand.

Therefore you have to flip the phone back upright, for the buttons to re-appear.

Like I said, it's a choice wanting the YT menus be visible in landscape mode... this is what ya get if you need to hack, rather than having a newer version...

We just have to wait until YT themselves come up with a better version which include the option of having a landscape mode or not.

Bye now.

(THIS IS A URGENT CALL TO THE YOUTUBE DEVELOPERS @ YOUTUBE !!!!!!) :)

Hi All,

Just thought I'd share my experience with NeTimes.com

I bought a load of stuff from them for my HD2 on the recommendations of people on here. I've been a silent frequenter of the website for a while (since I got my phone).

I bought some accessories from them at the beginning of Feb- I was very impressed and bought more mid Feb for the second batch never to arrive. They blamed it on the mail and told me to be patient.... I kept e-mailing them and eventually gave up on my products arriving and asked for my money back.

They now ignore my e-mails and have removed my account from their website.

(I hope you can tell by my English that I'm not a rival Chinese company!!)

I thought it my responsibility to warn you or give the flip side.

Also, get some advice on what I can do now? Thanks,
[HD2 Accessories] -BA-:
I nearly purchased from them but when they took the car holder I wanted off the site, I decided not to get the rest of the stuff I wanted.

Generally I tend to only use Hong Kong based companies via eBay where they rely on feedback to get their business. From an open website there is less incentive to comeback from your point of view to have your voice heard. Sorry you got your fingers burnt and thanks for the warning.
[HD2 Accessories] redman8x8:
That's very strange....

That's weird, i have also purchased stuff from Netimes, and it arrived by Fedex on schedule. i personaly had a very good allround expereince with them.....what was the delivery company?!..haven't you received a package tracking ID?

P.S.

If your'e from Europe, be aware that because of the Volcanic Ash Cloud coming from Iceland, Air traffic and transport was realy messed up..so, some deliveries could take a while to reach their destination.

Did they realy delete your account??!! :confused:

[HD2 Accessories] netimes.com:
Hello msu_nav

We are on XDA-Developers now and just checked out your feedback. May I apologize for all the inconvenience caused.

While I don't have your order number in hand, the general issue is with post office, where transit time is not guaranteed and really dependent on multiple factors, such as the previous bad weather condition across Europe.

I understand it's been a long while since your purchase, but we still welcome your feedback by emailing to service@netimes.com and see what we can do for you.

[Desire General] NutsyUK:
Now i love my desire... Its fantastic but it isnt without some issues...

One ive noticed that could be a problem esp when your working with reality overlay apps...

The compass doesn’t seem to work that well...

Its slow to respond to movement and even when it does move its horridly inaccurate. north seems to have a room for error of 60-90 degrees.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is it the same for most digital compasses? or do i have a faulty module?
[Desire General] brrrbaybay:
Hi Nutsy,

I've also noticed these issues with the compass in the Desire. I've worked with magnetic compass chips before and I think it's all to blame on the way these compasses work:

To sense the earth's magnetic field they use a two- or three axis magnetometer. Although it's a very accurate way to sense the earth's weak magnetic field, it's also very sensitive to any other magnetic field. That means that the presence of ferromagnetic materials (like iron) or electrical currents in the vicinity might really screw up your compass reading.

So electrical wires, iron piping, laundry machines (almost anything that you would find indoors that runs on electricity or contains iron), will interfere with your compass.

a good alternative would be to use a gyroscopic compass like they do on submarines, but I don't think these fairly expensive devices aren't used in mobile equipment yet. So the only thing to do is to stay away from anything that might interfere.

The slow response to movement might be caused by internal filtering. These analog sensors produce quite an amount of measurement noise. In order to cancel this, they probably use some sort of filtering algorithm like this one:

step 1 -> Take a new sensor reading.

step 2 -> Add it to a buffer that contains the last 25 readings.

step 3 -> Calculate the mean value of all measurements in this buffer. This will be the compass heading that is sent to Android OS or your application.

step 4 -> Repeat this cycle every 25 milliseconds.

Hope this answers your questions. Of course if you compass readings never make any sense under any circumstances, the thing might just be broken...

Friendly regards,

Joost

Ps.

There's an App in the market called "Metal detector" that actually uses the interference "problem" with the compass to detect ferromagnetic metals.
[Desire General] NutsyUK:
Wow :D Thanks for the really detailed reply...

Im glad its not just me then... Didnt really want to RMA it over a dodgy compass unit.

And thanks for letting me know about that app... sounds usful... I guess it could be used to detect wireing in plaster as well?
[Desire General] brrrbaybay:
You're welcome.

In theory you could use it to detect metal or wires in a plaster wall. I've just tried it, and it works quite well. On the other hand, I really don't want to risk electrocution by trusting a telephone to find electrical wires... ;)
[Desire General] jimmymagix:
My compass is shocking. Actually points closer to South whenever I open Compass or a programme which uses the compass like G-sky. I have to calibrate it every single time.

Thing that annoys me, is if I calibrate, then exit the programme and immediately re-open the programme, it doesn't remember the calibration, it reverts to pointing in a ridiculous direction.

I want to hit it with my fist.

Addtitionally, think it's broken?
[Desire General] Smauglys:
Yesterday I found out the same thing... Sometimes I cant even get it working after calibration. I was beginning to think that this happened because I dropped it once pretty hard. What should we do next? Can this be solved by replacement with warranty or something?
[Desire General] poldie:
Make sure your phone isn't in a case which uses magnets to keep it closed, as they affect the compass. If you're affected, take your phone out of the case and try again. Also, try out in the open, away from structures which may contain a lot of ferrous metal.
[Desire General] DoubleTel:
In my case the problem is due to powered-on wi-fi module. Turning off wifi, compass works fine. Could Anyone elserepeat my experience?
[Desire General] Smauglys:
Yes I know that. Tried out doors, and wheres no metal... When I had the G1, the compass worked normally.

Just tried what you said. It did not help for me. I turned it of completely.
[Desire General] Smauglys:
Just went outside to test it again. And I think I found how to get it working. If i launch the compass application, and try to turn the phone in the flat position (on its back), then the arrow moves in random directions. But if i lift the phone that it is facing straight to my face, and then turn left and right a few times, like a steering wheel, the compass "calibrates" as I can see. And then when I lay it down again flat, it starts to work normally. Can anyone try this, if you understood my instructions?
[Desire General] andybut85:
A more accurate way of calibrating the compass is by rotating the phone twice around each axis, ideally you should do this away from anything metallic or any interfering magnetic fields preferably outside.
[Desire General] Borgini:
Er......

Where is the compass?

I dont seem to have a compass! In my list of apps there just isnt one called compass...
[Desire General] th3:
The Analogue Compass app is very buggy for me so I use the Compass app -> http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-apksoftware-compass-qAC.aspx

When taking readings, I;

Always have to recalibrate on startup as far too many objects cause large interferences within the sensor making it go astray, even the charging cable causes it to go berzerk. The known working routine is to calibrate by fast twisting and turning the phone [I do it after running the built-in figure 8 calibration routine]

Keep it mid-upper body height with no metals nearby (jewellery/belt/metallic objects minimum >5ft away), holding still and level across the x-axis

Point the upper-end of the phone in the direction I want the bearing of (this depends on the type you use though, I use the digital type)

I spin the phone around and then retake 2 more readings for a total of 3 readings - averaging them out for a final mean reading

I only have 2 directions calibrated through professional consultation when this room extension was built a few years back and know the rough directions all sides this property faces, but in particular, I'm 100% sure of the exact degree reading one wall faces. This app using the built-in compass sensor reads that bearing spot on everytime after calibration (fluctuation is 1-2 degree max).
[Desire General] Smauglys:
Some friends in a Lithuanian Android forum, suggested to do this, like it is shown in the video. Works perfectly every time. And I thought that something was wrong, because I never had to do anything like this on my G1.

[XPERIA X10 General] MusicMogul83:
Hello Everyone,

I have the following problem with my Xperia 10. Whenever I am in location where the 3G signal is not strong enough my phone changes to GPRS network (Normal). When I'm in location where 3G signal is strong my phone would take a while to change to the UMTS (3G) network. When it does, the phone does not automatically connects to the internet. When I start my browser it says that I don't have a internet connection.

I contacted Sony Ericsson helpdesk and they said it is well known bug in the android phones and the only way to connect back to the internet is by shutting off all wireless connections and putting back on. I find this to be "neat" work around but I find it annoying that I have to do this all the time. I'm not convinced that this is bug because I have some friends who have the HTC hero and desire and they have never heard about this before.

Can somebody tell me if this is actually a bug in the Android phones or is it just the X10?
