YES! 14 dollar refund?!?!?! Thats fine by me
[Nexus One General] stakka:
Hmm.. I wonder why I haven't received this email. I just checked my google checkout receipt and it looks like I paid full tax amount on subsidized price too lol. I wondered why tax was so much but I was too excited to think more of it haha.
[Nexus One General] DDM123:
I get my Google phones for free, so nope! *sticks out tongue*
[Nexus One General] swgbex:
Nope, even buying subsidized from a retail store (in california) they still charge you sales tax on the full price of the phone.. So no refund..
[Nexus One General] stakka:
Aww dammit. That's not cool. I was juiced about a reimbursement too. Guess I can kiss that goodbye :(
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
They should refund me the price difference between the touchscreen they used and a legitimate touch screen.
[HD2 General] joshua1982:
Hello,

I am now an owner of HTC HD2 device, and so far I kinda like it. Except that I had a message saying "can not initialize camera. fail to set up camera device" when opening the camera application and the camera did not work. I then flashed one of the latest official roms and had the same message appear. Flashed it once again and so far it works ok, but I am not sure if problem is fixed because the issue appears occasionally.

Please, could anyone explain if the hardware (camera) is showing symptomes of an imminent failure, or some software issue.

I will be extremely grateful, because it really bothers me a lot.
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
ive read on the forums this could be due to opera 10 if you have it running it will take up a lot of memory and the camera wont have enough to initiate. Try closing opera if that is indeed the issue make sure to close the program not minimize it. Also you could soft reset might be a random bug.
[HD2 General] joshua1982:
Thanks for the prompt reply, I will do this test. Indeed as I remember I had Opera 10 installed, and I got once or twice a message saying that I do not have enough memory to start an application which is just ridiculous.
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
yeah its a strange bug if you ask me i just use the opera 9.7 there is no problem at all with that plus you get the pinch to zoom feature which is a nice touch.
[HD2 General] joshua1982:
What I dont like about Opera 9.7 is the very jurky/slow scrolling of web pages, Opera 10 scrolls almost like my old IPhone 3GS.
[HD2 General] 11calcal:
I had the same prob it took me 3 hard resets and it eventually sorted itself out I thought I'd deleted a file of some sort even added a thread on htcped but no help just try hard res. All I can off
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
i see have you tried opera mini 5? this may be worth a shot.
[HD2 General] r3k0:
Had this problem today and a few times last week, so not a lot but very anouying.

Soft reset fixes it each time but i dont think i should have to do this just to take a piccy.....

not got Opera 10 so not that for me....

a fix would be nice.......
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
you could always try a custom rom or update the old one
[HD2 General] r3k0:
Allready on a custom rom atm, will see if it persists when i next flash.
[HD2 General] -Vulture-:
I had this error in the past sometimes. But now, with the new radio 2.10.50.08_2 and a new Rom (DsE Black Edition v7) with new camera drivers i dont have this error anymore.
[HD2 General] r3k0:
Im on the same radio.

is there a way to check my camera drivers ?
[HD2 General] -Vulture-:
Hm i can only check the camera software version, but dont know how to check the driver. Which Rom are you using? Mostly theres a note in the thread...

[General Questions and Answers] zeroqi:
I would love a similar application for few reasons:

. No other headset to charge, pretty cool i must admit

. you can use a normal 3.5mm jack, 4-pin mic you usually get with some mobile phones to have working ps3 BT headset

. . you could use normal headphones for listening to video/audio on pc or PS3 without a cord going to the computer/ps3 [but no mic on ps3 during lan play]

. for those wanting a bluetooth throat microphone made from scratch, you don't need to hack a a2dp bluetooth handsfree kit, just to make a 3.5" 4-ping plug + adapter [or your phone plug]

You can actually achieve more or less similar with an a2dp bluetooth small handsfree kit... I actually wrote a piece on what i want to achieve here [throat microphone, talking about bone conduction a bit]:

http://www.dealextreme.com/forums/Forums.dx/Forum.-206~threadid.209744

In the end, you need an hacked rom to overcome the bluetooth stack limitation of some handsets if any, and a program that act as handset server profile.

BlueputDroid would be the best contender for this jobs, as it allready pose as bluetooth server profile... [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=940511&page=21]

[HD2 General] Crazypostalgirl:
Hello I am looking for a free or low cost app that will let me look at comic books on my phone. most of my digital comics are in .cbr format.

I found what looks like a nice program on the market place but they want $15 for it.

thanks for any help and please be nice this is my first post!

-CrazyPostalGirl
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Welcome, crazy! :D

There's only one (still) free reader that I know of that will read .cbr format comix, you'll find it at the link below.

If that doesn't suit your fancy, there is a way to get around using a dedicated reader with .cbr files, but it takes a little bit more effort (not too much though). Let us know if this solution doesn't cut it:

http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Others/Comic-Reader-71662.shtml
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Yeah. One of the mods here built one, but it's not free.. ComicReader Mobi is the name (google it). I bought it for $9.99, well worth it too, with the awesome way you can click on the text and get it to zoom right in.

Currently reading the Dark Tower series (still on Gunslinger: Born).
[HD2 General] Crazypostalgirl:
thanks for the help guys! I am great full for the link, since that is at least giving me a trial version. I was tempted to pay for the app through the market place but with no reviews I wasnt gonna go near it ;-)

I just got my hd2 on saturday and I'm slowly trying to trick it out! lol

anyone want to suggest anything else for a total noob who is taking baby steps with her new toy?

I just got omarket and I keep reading about cookies home tab and bsb tweeks (I'm sorry if I remember the names wrong!)

I am hoping to soon be adventurous enough to play with some new themes.

thanks for the help and being a nice group of people (well so far ;-)

-CrazyPostalGirl
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
I think if you can find an earlier version of ComicReader Mobi when it was still called Comic Reader Mobile, you can find a free version. It still worked great in its earlier forms.... that's what i've been using to reread my Sandman series. I think it was free from version 1.6 and before, but I'll have to check. But if you're gonna use it a lot, it would probably be better to get the newer paid versions, as you will get updates and support, and it's good to support developers for good apps.

Hope you have fun with your new HD2. You can find pretty much anything you need to know on this site. Remember to look in the original Leo subforums too, because you can use the same programs and tweaks on the US T_Mo HD2. Also check the Windows Mobile Development and Hacking subforums... you will find a lot of apps there that you won't find in the specific phone model subforums.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I tried an older version of ComicReader Mobi (for some reason it's mobi instead of mobile) and got a warning message "This application has expired. Please download an upgraded version."

That's really the only reason I ended up buying. I know there are others out there, but I haven't found any that are so intelligent about only magnifying the speech balloons instead of attempting to magnify the entire image.
[HD2 General] agalvan:
Does anyone have a good site online where I can purchase comic books in digital format? I noticed someone mentioned the Dark Tower Series as well as the Sandman series. I'd love to be able to get those for my HD2.
[HD2 General] Crazypostalgirl:
wish I could help you. I dont always pay for my comics ( not sure if I can used the "T" word here) lol
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
The version I've been using is good about only magnifying the speech balloons. I have ComicReaderMobile 1.6. I think it was the last update before it went paid.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Yeah, torrents are definitely frowned upon on this site...;) But I have to admit it's the only source I have found for my digital comics. But I actually own physical copies of the majority of my cbr/cbz comic collection, anyways.... I was a huge comic book collector during my teens.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
A *.cbz file is, in reality, a renamed folder that has been compressed via ZIP or packaged with RAR.

You can actually unzip the file using Window's built-in zip option, if you use Windows. Over here on KDE, I can use Ark to decompress or compress the file.

Inside the folder you will find a series of images, most likely in JPEG format, though I have seen some with PNG image files.

These are generally images that have been imported via a scanner, much like the one that is built into the usual all-in-one scanner, copier, printer that retails for less than $100 at your local retail store.

Now for the legal bit:

You are not allowed to scan your comics, put the resultant images in a folder and then compress that folder with WinZip, rename the extension to *.cbz and then place that new file on your phone's microSD card.

The reason you are not allowed to do so is because the people that published the comic to begin with are the only people that are allowed to make such decisions about how the copyrighted material in the comic is distributed. This means that if they want the comics scanned, zipped and sent out via the Usenet's alt.binaries.comics or isohunt.com's torrent tracker, they will do so themselves. You just aren't allowed to.

According to the laws of the USA, you may be allowed to make personal copies of your materials, including digital copies, for personal use but you can not distribute those copies in any way.

Hopefully that clears that up.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
I think you're kinda pushin it there posting the usenet and isohunts address.... I know it's not links, but it still might be too much if a moderator sees it. They should at least have to search for the sites if they want to learn how to illegally download.... you're making it way to easy.

[Hero CDMA General] rrr571:
This is an official request. I am practically begging. Can someone make Google Voice work with BT, such that I can TRUE voice dial without having to touch my phone. This has been possible for many years now on other platforms. I had it when I carried a Blackberry, I had it with a Razor, I had it with my MotoQ with Winmo, pretty much evry device I have owned except my Andoid powered Hero.

I know that someone can make it reality. It is a shame that an advanced platform like Android does not have this capability.

BTW, I am not interested in touching the phone to dial a number and I dont want to buy a Blue Ant or Jawbone and store a limited number of contacts for voice dialing.

Thanks

I will try it today and post back the results.
[Hero CDMA General] wjason:
As far as I know, Vlingo requires touching your phone to activate it. that said, it is great for sending text messages without having to type anything (you can even tell it who to send the message or email to). Voice recognition has been very accurate in my experiences as well.

+1 on something that allows you to activate voice dialing by only using the headset (hell, even the InstinKt could do that:D)
[Hero CDMA General] dennistpm:
The Android OS currently does not support voicedialing by BT. The Jawbone ICON website has an app for voicedialing but they state that it won't work on Android. They have two links posted with more info on why it isn't supported:

Please forgive me if there is a topic on this matter, but I didn't find it.

In order to save baterry juice, I'm looking for an app which switch on automatically the GPS (and all its options) when I open Googlemaps (or another map/GPS app) and then switch off the GPS when Google maps goes off (for me Google maps shut down automatically with TaskPanel killer list when my mobile go sleep).

Do you know such an app?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Brut.all:
Such app is named: Android OS.

I don't understand, why do you want to do everything on your own, if Android already does these things for you and does them much, much better, than you could? Why do you people install all these task killers and other apps, which will probably degrade your battery life and cause some issues?
[Android Apps and Games] trystan4861:
For switch on/off gps on enter googlemaps, and others you can use Locale and one or two plug-ins for do that.
[Android Apps and Games] Clarkster:
The GPS only takes power when it is in use. What you are asking for isn't needed. Turning off the GPS will just stop programs from being able to use it.

So leave GPS turned on, and it will only use power when a program asks for it. It will only ACTUALLY be on when you load google maps.
[Android Apps and Games] erezak:
I believe there's a power widget that can help you. It comes with the Nexus, at least, but can probably be found here or on the market.
[Android Apps and Games] StefanSarzio:
That's true only if Google Maps is your only program interested in your current location.

In all other cases it perfectly makes sense to disable GPS as long as you don't want it to be used.

Tasker (http://tasker.dinglisch.net/) is another program that's perfect for this kind of task. IMHO far better than Locale.
[Android Apps and Games] oavon:
Thanks a lot for all your answers, I understand better know how android works.

So I will let the GPS option ON, with no worry for the battery.

I will set taskpanel to Kill maps (and my citybike app) when the mobile goes sleep.

And will try tasker, sounds nice.
[Android Apps and Games] Brut.all:
Same for task killing. As I said before, Android does these things for you, you don't have to worry about them. You could have some game running in a background and this will have no impact on your battery or UI smoothness. But killing all tasks will probably cut down your battery life.

One exception is when some app is bugged and it eats CPU power without any reason. But I don't think it is common.
[Android Apps and Games] gthing:
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but some of the information here is not very accurate. At least not for everyone.

It appears to be true that there is not much battery disadvantage when you leave the GPS on (I'm currently working up a big semi-scientific review of this). I also use Latitude, though. Latitude itself also will not use too much battery power. When the two are combined, however, they can kill your battery. I'm talking 50% power drain over 2 hours as opposed to 4% over 2 hours.

I would like to leave Latitude on and have GPS when I need it. Therefore I am going to use tasker to shut off the GPS except for the apps that need it. The network location that Android provides in the meantime is good enough for Latitude.

Until Latitude does a better job of managing the GPS connection I don't see another alternative.
[Android Apps and Games] Brut.all:
There is *no* such disadvantage, cause GPS is turned off anyway.

Hmm.. Latitude doesn't use GPS for me :-/

EDIT:

And you don't have to do tests: if there is GPS icon in notification bar, then your battery is drained for sure. If there isn't, then everything is ok. It's very simple.
[Android Apps and Games] Duniti:
You can use the "Auto-Enable GPS for Maps" application, which switches both WiFi and GPS on when you launch Maps, Navigation, Local or Latitude, and restores them to their old state (e.g. switched off) when you quit these apps.

[HD2 General] MrMagicMushroom:
Hey guys, I've flashed about 4 ROMs in the lifetime of having my HD2. Latest one has been the Chucky ROM which is great, but the problem is most severe here.

I can't get a screenshot because pocket-controller pro is so useless, added by the fact my USB connection is so fragile blowing the cable disconnects it. The problem first appeared when I flashed the Artemis ROM, lock screen appointments wouldn't display correctly most of the time, and when they did they would not disappear for awhile. When there are no appointments the lockscreen bar at the bottom raises to provide room for an appointment, a little eyesore I could deal with.

NOW, I have to swipe TWICE, once for the default lock bar and then again for Chuckys bar. This is extremely frustrating and when flashing Chuckys the first time, the cable came lose and it messed up, I ran an older ROM Stock I believe for my HD2 in bootloader and then tried again. I have tried Hard Resets and I did hard reset after every flash. Would the radio have anything to do with it? I flashed Leo_Radio_2.09.50.29_2 before flashing the Chucky ROM, should I have done that after?

What do you guys recommend? Flashing is so frustrating with my USB drives being so useless. Cheers.
