[Droid Eris General] Turnyface:
I was wondering what people thought were the best headphones for the HTC Eris. I was wanting headphones that had a microphone so I could talk 'hands free', such as the iPod headphones. The only thing is they don't offer the sound quality I'd like when I'm not using my phone. Also looking at the Klipsch S4. Does anyone know if the mic is compatible with the Eris?
[HD2 General] RodRahmani:
Hey there guys - how difficult of a task would it be to build a physical keyboard for the HD2, built into a case, connected through USB for the HD2?

I'm looking to the LG Versa for inspiration but have no real experience getting physical keyboards coded to work with OSs..

Was imagining how cool it would be to have the keyboard from the G1 built into a flip case for the HD2...

Is this an extremely lofty goal? Anyone out there with experience in such a matter?

I've looked at BT keyboards, but they are all way too big to be comfortably and logically integrated into a case for the HD2...

Appreciative,

Rod R.
[HD2 General] jgriff63:
All due respect, why not just buy a phone with a keyboard?
[HD2 General] RodRahmani:
Do you know of any phones with the HD2's specs and screen size that have a physical keyboard that will work with TmoUS?

I came from a G1 and loved it... I love the HD2, but missing the keyboard.

If there is a phone you can recommend with the HD2's specs, screen size, looks, etc, with a physical keyboard, preferably with Android, then I'm all over it... I don't believe it exists.

Cheers-

Rod R.

MyTouch Slide is coming out in June, 3.5 inch screen and 600mhz cpu. Thats the closest to what your asking.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
The only way you can connect a keyboard to the hd2 would be through bluetooth. The HD2 does not have a working usb host feature right now. I've seen small bluetooth keypads that are about the same size as the HD2 that you might be able to use... but it has really small keys like on a blackberry. it's more of a thumbboard.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
The last I heard (this was back in 2008), Windows Mobile doesn't offer a USB host or SDK.

Since you pointed out that this phone doesn't have one "right now" am I to assume that some WinMo phones do have it or that it is possible to have one for the HD2 in the future?

OP: I have a Dell GM952 that I use on my HD2 when I am home and texting/tweeting a lot. Haven't seen a massive battery drain like I was expecting either.

I know you are asking about HD2-sized bluetooth keyboards, and this is a full-size QWERTY, but I thought you might be interested in hearing that I don't have any problems with it.
[HD2 General] RodRahmani:
Good info!!

The Mytouch slide is nowhere near the coolness factor of the HD2, but thanks for the heads up..

I'll look into the Dell GM952!!
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
There have been many WinMo devices with USB host functionality... Athena was one of them. There were many others. The HD2 actually has the hardware to support USB host but doesn't provide power to devices connected to it. It just doesn't have the software or drivers.

Cotulla (the one who developed hspl for hd2) was working on a driver that allows usb host functionality, but you would need to provide external power to anything you attached. Theres a thread in the original Leo forum. But cotulla never released the driver as he was still working bugs out, and now it's been over a month since cotulla has signed into xda, so I don't know what happened to him. I hope everything is ok with him.

Also, I hear the USB host drivers are going to be functional in the linux port... so when android is made for the hd2, it should have usb host.(but again, external power is needed)

[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
There you go.... that second link for the mini bluetooth keyboard would be perfect to make a keyboard flip case like the OP was thinking about. Perfect size.
[HD2 General] jgriff63:
Gotcha. I, too came from the G1, and was worried about the lack of physical keyboard, but find I have adapted well to this.
[HD2 General] jubeh:
This actually is a great idea, although it'd be kind of akward since, on a decently made, agenda-style pouch, both the keyboard and the device would sit in landscape mode, so, when trying to use the device, you'd be forced to take it out and force it to portrait mode (sure, some apps do sensor-rotate, but for the ones that don't you're screwed).

Still nice to be able to carry around a keyboard for fast typing in a nice, stylized, elegant looking pouch.

HTC's IME, which was surprisingly good on Android, is kind of frustrating to use on this device for some reason.
[HD2 General] Hobb:

Hello!

How in the world can you designate the media player to only find and list ACTUAL songs? I can't seem to point it to only my music folder... it wants to update the library with ALL audio on the phone and memory card... I keep getting system and GPS navigation sounds "turn left", "in a quarter mile" randomly playing in between songs... so annoying..

Any help is appreciated!

sad 2 say its a defect n the well thot out planz.... i use wmp n find my folder n press play... voila :) :cool:
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
We got this one licked :D

There's a way around this, and it's fairly simple...

First, it's happening because the "program files" folder on the SD card was never marked as "hidden" from the factory, like the one on the phone is...so any sound files that get placed there from program installs are getting indexed by the music tab.

Just use Total Commander (if you don't have it already, it's darn well time you got it), and navigate to the SD card contents, tap+press the program files folder, then select "properties" from the menu. You'll see the check box for "hidden", check that, then click ok, and soft-reset. When sense comes back up, go to your music tab, wait for it to re-index, and you should no longer see all those unwanted audio files ;)

[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
The easiest way to get rid of storage card encryption is to just remove mencfilt.dll from the msxipkernel.

Just get sk tracker to find the rest of the reg keys. It will take you 5 min.
[Windows Mobile] Diagrafeas:
I have deleted encfilt.dll (mencfilt.dll doesn't exist). The problem is that the option is always on and can't be deselected. I don't think that encrypts anything thow. I have a copy of my registry before and after but i could understand which keys where these. I was using CeRegEditor.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
If you're doing it with ceregeditor and windiff, just make one change at a time and compare, otherwise there's too much crap to wade through. SK Tracker is much easier, just pony up for it. I could do this for you in 5 min, but I'm not, lol.

I think you need to remove the encrypting .cpl, but I couldn't tell you how to do it. If you can re-flash your rom and still use the sd card, there's no encryption, regardless of what the control panel says.

[Legend General] logoo:
hi everybody i love my legend but i'm really disappointed with this issue: even at the minimum, the volume is too loud too listen it with hearphones...

Is there an app to fix it?

Trying another rom could fix it?

Thk you :p
[Legend General] always_a_rhythm:
Got same issue

Hey, I agree with what you've said above. I have the same issue. Please note that I have no direct solution for you, but the work around is this:

Use a different set of headphones

. I have three sets I use.

1) pair of ear buds that came with the legend - these are fine when I turn the volume down low

2) Phillips SHS3201 - these are basic ""over the ear" hook style ear buds. volume is fine if I turn it down between first second "notches".

3) Monster Audio Turbine ear buds - foam sealing passive noise canceling. These are too loud even at the lowest setting. I think they have powerful drivers that simply boost the sound and foam fittings that drive the sound into my ear canal. Though they sound great, I can't really use them because they are too loud on the phone.

Are you using a high quality or "foam sealing" headphone?

That being said, I'm interested if anyone else knows how to adjust this!

Thanks.
[Legend General] logoo:
Thk you for your reply :) I've not found a real solution but you're right i think i'm gonna buy earphones with external volume adjustement because even with the original legend ones, it's too loud :(

There is another way to fix it but i don't like it.. You can change de volume of your mp3's by using mp3 gain (freeware). The volume is better but if you want to connect the legend to a loudspeaker, you realise that the sound has unfortunately a very limited volume...
[Legend General] haha123:
I am interested in this as well. I have tried the Music Player with EQ platinum (by changing left and right channel to output lower volume) but it kills the CPU. If you view photos while listening to music, you might not hear any music anymore.
[Legend General] Kanzie:
Same here. It gets very annoying when the phone rings while I'm listening to things on my earphone - it hurts my ear everytime. (I have ringer set to max volume, which seems to make the ring tone play at max volume through earphone as well. I can barely stand min volume as it is.)

I've already rooted my phone - I guess changing the audiopara files should do the trick. Can anyone tell me how to understand those files?
[Legend General] soad0:
I am using j-jays intra earphones and the Legend really disappoint me about the sound quality (volume setting).

So I tried to set EQ as down as possible... what there is no EQ on Android's music player? f****! :eek::eek::mad:

Finally I have found and used Astro Player beta on the market, wich is not very good-looking but has a complet EQ.

And an other problem about Legend sound quality appears: the sound in noisy at low volume!!!:confused:

Ok let's hope a flash will correct the problem. For the moment I am using my Sansa clip+ to hear the music in my bed and my legend with RockPlayer to watch movies in my bed:p
[Legend General] 9krausec:
Volume issue Android

I've been having an issue with the volume being too loud when streaming music via pandora or last.fm

To check to make sure we are all having the same problem, follow these steps and report back.

1. Play media (music) w/ headphones

2. Turn off silent mode

3. Go to Settings/Volume

4. Edit the volume of the ringer (it will play a test sound)

5. Accept changes...

Now, did the volume go down on the media so it's nice and quite? If so, how long does it last? I know this works for me for the rest of my current song, but as soon as another one starts it's back up to crazy loud volume (even when the media volume is set to smallest amount).

I have also downloaded a 3rd party volume control app, but the same thing happens. Please give this a shot and let us know what happened!

when you see the word "lot" in the title, it means theres a bundle of the same items included. i used to buy phone parts in lot back in my hardware modding days. so if you read the whole posting, 100 packages of 3 pack screen protectors for £105 is a good deal. thats

about

£.40 a screen. as far as "iphone not included", that message is a general pic so the seller dosent have to custom tailor every posting for a different phone. laziness on their behalf but you get the point. just my 2 cents on not finding it stupid nor should the poster be shot.:cool:

[HD2 General] RippieUK:
Sorry really to be a pain here, but if someone does not mind, can they explain to me ROM, Radio and HSPL? I think i know that ROM is the software running on your phone. but it that version number increased everytime someone make a custom ROM out from an official one?

Radio as far as i know is for wifi, radio, etc. is this correct ? And final we have HSPL, now what do need that for, and for what use it is?

I am ofcourse asking these questions because i started to look at all the nice ROM's out there and not sure if i should stick to what im doing and keep going for the higher numbers. Would be very happy if someone could quickly explain them all properly and then maybe guide me to other links where i can read more...

Thank you in advance...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
SPL - Secondary Program Loader - Think of it as the BIOS of your phone. It starts the operating system loading, and when you flash it verifies cid and region locks.

HSPL - Hard Secondary Program Loader - This is the creation of Bepe and Cotulla and Co. and is a hacked version of the official SPL that bypasses the checks when you flash a rom. It requires SPL 1.42.0000 on your phone to use.

This is the only version that works for telstra phones.

HSPL2 - is an upgrade to HSPL that allows witching between most of the available SPL's, and also their HSPL equivalents. (So if you want to install cooked roms, you might choose 2.08.HSPL, whilst if you want to go back to official, you would choose 1.42.0000 in the HSPL2 dropdown)

HSPL1024 - Is HSPL specific to the tmous hd2.

hardware ROM - The Read Only Memory of the phone. Think of it as the hard disk in your device. This is your storage memory.

'the' rom - When we talk about flashing roms, we mean the file that installs the whole operating system on your phone. This file is 'flashed' to the rom storage space, where it installs itself. After it finishes configuring itself, whatever is left is your available storage memory. (usually around 180 meg on a standard hd2)

Official ROMS have version numbers such as 1.66 , 1.72. 2.10.

Version numbers of cooked roms are meaningless. They only apply to that chefs roms. He/She applies versions as they see fit, however you can get a fair bit of info from the ro mthread title.

Example, they will usually tell you the base of the rom, i.e what stock rom was used as a base, 1.66, or 2.10 for example, and also the windows build version, (the 5 digit 21xxx number, i dont know whats what with those, but the higher ones are winmo 6.5.x) and more as you get used to reading them.

radio hardware - The different models have different actual hardware that connects to the mobile network. That is why you cant get 3g on at&t with a T Mo USA hd2. No matter what software radio you flash, the hardware is wrong.

radio rom - The radio software sits between windows mobile and the hardware. It controls the hardware based on what you want to do. There are all kinds of reports of better/worse battery life, connection strength, sound quality results when flashing digfferent radios.

flashing a radio does NOT require a hard reset, so wont affect your install.

Some roms (example the 576 meg enabled roms) require specific radios, read the rom posts for info.

The big danger with radio flashing is only applicable to tmous users, , if they flash a radio with ..51.. in the version number, their phone dies.
