I agree...

I agree. I have come to peace with using my phones without because I think there is a bigger risk of me getting angry and busting my phone when i try to apply the protector than there is scrathing the screen without ;)
[Desire Accessories] redrazr7791:
So does the Incredible have the same size screen as the Desire? Could someone buy screen protectors for the Incredible and cut them to fit the Desire :confused:
[Desire Accessories] Norro21:
Well that's the trick. The protectors are easy to damage so that you buy new ones and each time think 'phew that saved me' when in fact almost all the time there would have been no damage to the screen anyway.
[Desire Accessories] Balos:
I don't think the scratch would be visible even without the protector. The protector is some soft material which can get a deep cut like scratch just because its soft. I bet it wouldn't be visible on the screen if you had none either as long as the phone is in your pocket covered by jeans or whatever you have on your ass and the desk inst really made out from pure metal with sharp edges. You would sooner break it then scratch in normal case scenario.
[Desire Accessories] al89nut:
Incidentally I am amazed by all you guys who carry your phone - without case? - unprotected in a trouser pocket.
[Desire Accessories] EroThraX:
It's just a phone.

Ultra Clear from brando is awesome but pricey. Easy to put on and very smooth results. Wud recommend it to any1. Just need a nice case now... lol

I recommend the Martin Fields, easy to apply and no loss in clarity.
[Desire Accessories] alanjp168:
FYI the Touch HD has a hard plastic screen, so it is extremely easy to get scratched, i have had my HD running without screen protector for a month and it got at least 10 scratches on the screen. But the capactive screen devices usually have glass surface on the screen so they dont get scratches easily, iv seen a friends 3yrs old iphone2g without any scratches and surprisingly he never used any screen protectors on it at all.

I am amazed by people buying a good looking phone and then putting an ugly silicon case/sticker/pouch over it. It's like buying a brand new BMW and putting some styrofoam over it so it wont get scratched :D
[Desire Accessories] subharmonic:
To be fair - you've got a point about the cases - fwiw though, the Desire, without a case, is a little bit svelte to me. I reckon I might drop it - it might have a rubbery back and sides, but they aren't mega grippy. My first silicone case, was ok did the job - made it easier to hold. My second case, a Mugen number, is a slightly shiner material, which attracts hand grease unfortunately very well, but also is a bit grippier than the silicone, or the phone by itself.

So, there's a few ways you can look at it.

A case, also makes the phone a bit more desireable when you come to sell it.

A pristine second hand desire will def fetch more cash than a beat up one.
[Desire Accessories] qubz:
I had a 'cut it yourself screen cover' and was unable to get the exact shape of the screen. I also found it detracted from the beautiful screen.

After getting a replacement unit (with a not so pink AMOLED screen), I decided to go naked and got a sweet iphone mossimo case from an optus store for about $20 that has a magnetically fixed seal which is elastic, and when pulled moves the phone out a bit from the case so I can pull it easily.

The purple case colour matches the brown/purple phone perfectly and the white font matches my white headphones too :p
[Desire Accessories] stu83:
I just had fun with these. Also got the 5 pack for £2 off Ebay. The first two attempts failed miserably, with dust under the protector causing bubbles. Tried applying the third one in a more open room and finally it looks like its on without dust or bubbles.
[Desire Accessories] dunetails:
I got a pack of the official screen protectors from Play.com for £5. They fit perfectly but I think I've gone off screen protectors. I had to wait a month for them to come out so went a while without one. It was fine, I suspect that all the current high end phones have scratch resistant glass. I might not put another protector on when this one peels off.

Martin Fields protectors all the way to go :) Easy to apply and had never problems with them.
[Desire Accessories] amf:
Using the same one for my Desire...
[Desire Accessories] paulruk:
Just got the Martin Fields protector too, gotta say after wasting my money on 3 different cheap protectors off ebay this was by far the best (and most expensive). But its really easy to fit, no bubbles and its thicker than the cheaper screens. Worth the money.

If anyone can find no2chem... (The developer of the "updated" battery drivers for the TP2) He was going to release a source for his battery drivers, but never did... And basically disappeared from the PPC world...

If I could get the source for the battery drivers and get the exact calculations that are used in them... I could easily port them into the code and get it working as it should.

But as it is right now, I'm stuck with attempting to learn ARM ASM and doing a disassemble of the dll file... which has proven to be much harder than I anticipated going into it...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] IM0001:
From what I got from no2chem before he disapeared, he is up to his neck in schooling working on I believe his Phd. So he is out with a good reason. Hopefully he does pop back up sometime soon here.

Just spotted on WMPOWERUSER, that an alpha of ZetaKey webkit-based browser has been released for Windows mobile, and it works on HD2. Page loads are fast. I dont see flash support. No double tap or pinch zooming. I have no idea what "iPhone Mode" does.

Download latest at http://www.zetakey.com/download.html, which asks for email address for feedback to download, or use the attached CAB.

Note: very early alpha. No rotation to landscape. Forcing rotation causes display problems.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bry8Star:
its FREE

they just released a new version beta 2010_11_05.

running fantastic in my WM 6.5 , AT&T Tilt 8925 Kaiser 100.

thanks

didn't work on my hd2,maybe being oz has something to do with it
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 5318008:
Rotation works pretty good. No built-in flash that I can tell, no tabs, still not a ton of features but there don't seem to be any other WM Webkit browsers currently being developed, plus this takes about half the installed space compared with Iris and Dorothy. Nice browser, glad people are still thinking of us WM users.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 5318008:
Bumping the Zetakey threads to let people know there's a new version at Zetakey.com as of 14-Feb-2011. Webkit browser for WM that's still under development that installs into less space than Iris or Dorothy.

I know if you all are like me, even though we have the new 2.1, want to be rooted. I hope someone figures out how to root the new update soon. I miss some of the apps for root I was using. If anyone hears anything about successfully rooting, Please Post.
[Hero CDMA General] Dave2582:
According to Flipz, the md5 on the official 2.1 matched his 2.1 leak, so if you had the fresh 2.1.1 rom installed, that was the official update.

Should've waited, or at least read some of the posts. Some of the devs on here are not going to try to patch it since the leak came out days ago.

Hopefully someone will patch it with root, and you can flash it eventually.

For now, you'll have to deal without root.
[Hero CDMA General] Powers16:
Not to be offensive or anything but anyone who flashes a Ruu and loses root when the same ruu was available 2 weeks prior with root is very very..$HOME = /dev/null

i hope they root 2.1 as well because you know i want to have a root 2.1.. oh wait i already do.

No guarantees though...
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
From the keynotes, it sounds like it'll be announced on day 2. Doesn't mean it'll be made available though.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
No, we'll hear about it. No one knows when it will be released though. If I was to take a wild guess though, they would release it to the developers there so they can start with the new features. And that means we'll have the pre-release here very quickly.

Lol! Same with my girlfriend. She makes fun of me and her brother (incredible user) for having smartphones and constantly talking about it. And she doesn't want me to get her a new phone, but like I listened last time. Lol. She's with Verizon, so I can snag her up a Droid Eris (now with 2.1) or LG ally. We showed her the incredible and she wasn't too fond of it..... but the Eris might be Just enough for her.

Hopefully she's another android user soon!

Froyo tomorrow at the key notes. Doubting about a release though.....

Is there an easier way to toggle from one keyboard to the other?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Long press any input box, choose input method.

Don't think there is a way to make it any easier than that.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daemondemise:
it would be cool if there's a way to have the HTC keyboard on landscape mode and auto switch to swype on portrait mode.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ikon8:
It would be nice if it were easier, a button on the keyboard that toggles between ime's would be nice, iphone & ipod touch do it this way. I cycle often between htc_ime and simeji japanese input and it's a bit of a pain.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Due to android security reasons, I don't believe there is a way to accomplish either of these honestly.

Changing input method requires user interaction with the system in order to prevent, say, a malicious app from creating it's own input method that logs everything you type and changing to it without you knowing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ikon8:
Ah, yea that makes sense.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AidanBell:
There is just one disadvantage I have found of not using HTC's TouchFlo UI: when holding the phone to my ear there is no protection from my (large!) ear's pressing the touchscreen and causing havoc opening programs, etc. Does anyone know of a reg tweak or a third-party app that addresses this, utilising the G-sensor and light sensor and protecting the screen during calls?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
BY default I thought in all roms the proximity sensor would turn the screen off when its pressed against our heads so buttons wouldnt get pushed?

If that doesnt work you can always just push the power button... which I sort of do by default for some reason anyway. But... yeah there is a way so the screen turns off when its close to your face. Someone else will chime in with it I'm sure.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
I'm using the Titanium version without TouchFlo or Sense, and my screen turns off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
This is absolutely a feature of all versions of the TP2, and works regardless of whether TF is used of not. Have you tried a hard reset? Also, does flipping the phone onto its face during a call activate the speaker phone? This involves the proximity sensor (along with G-Sensor), so it might give you a clue if your proximity sensor is somehow disabled, etc.

I dug around the registry for a second, and found the following values under:

HKLM\Software\HTC\Proximity

Name: ProximityDetectStatus

Value: 0

Base: Decimel

Name: ProximitySensorOn

Value: 0

Base: Decimel

Name: PSensorDebounceTime

Value: 300

Base: Decimel

Name: UnexpectedWakeup

Value: 0

Base: Decimel

Some of the values seem counterintuitive (I would think the "ProximitySensorOn" would be 1, not 0). But in any case, it might help to check your registry settings.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AidanBell:
Many thanks for your response.

To answer your questions: I've recently upgraded to WM6.1, but didn't like that and so flashed 6.1 back again, and in fact re-flashed that again the other day, so the machine has been through quite a series of hard resets of late, however to the best of my knowledge I have never had a working during-calls-screen-protect other than the brief period during which I was trying out TouchFlo when I first had the phone.

Yes, flipping the phone to activate the speaker works flawlessly, I use it often.

In my registry under HKLM\Software\HTC\Proximity; "ProximityDetectStatus" "ProximitySensorOn" and "UnexpectedWakeup" are indeed all set at "0". However I do not have an "UnexpectedWakeup" setting. Could this be the problem? If so, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a novice with reg tweeking, so would you mind talking me through setting that value?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
If you are using Total Commander, go to the appropriate location on the registry, and the first entry is "Add value". Select that, then pick "DWORD", type the name of the value (UnexpectedWakeup). Hit OK, then enter 0 for the value and select OK again.

If you are using another editor besides Total Commander, the process should be the same. I use TC, so I only know that exact process.

Are you flashing to an "official" 6.1 ROM, or a cooked ROM?

Did you run Task29 before flashing the new ROM? This will wipe/format the memory completely, and will sometimes clear up random problems. Its recommended to do this before flashing a cooked ROM, but I don't know if using an "official" ROM is a problem with Task29 or not.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649191
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AidanBell:
I'ver never heard of Task29!

However, firstly they were both "official" ROMs, from Vodafone, but secondly it seems the reg tweak has done the trick; the screen now Blanks when in call, as it should do. So all is well.

Many thanks indeed for that. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
No problem. Happy to help.

But it was the "UnexpectedWakeup" entry that fixed it? That name/description doesn't really seem to fit. In fact, I can't even imagine what that description even refers to, lol!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
I don't know if there are any potential issues with using Task29 and official ROMs, I've only used it with cooked ROMs. Although, it seems like it would work and serve the exact same purpose. Task29 just guarantees that no fragments of the remaining ROM will interfere with the new ROM. It seems to help prevent random issues with cooked ROMs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AidanBell:
They say honesty is the best policy, so let me share with you what I have embarresingly discovered was actually the reason for my problem - especially remembering what this forum is for and that it might perhaps help anyone else with a similar issue:

I was told that a good way of testing the proximity sensor is to press your thumb against the loudspeaker during a call while looking at the screen. This did not work ... until I removed the plastic protection case! I have always had my phone protected by a two-piece plastic\silicon casing, and I've only now discovered that when this is on the phone the proximity sensor fails, but when removed it works perfectly! Thinking back that makes sense because when I first got the phone and was using TouchFlo the phone had no protective casing.

As it happens I've just bought an expensive cradle for the phone for my new car, which requires that I remove the plastic casing in order for it to fit, therefore the timing is good as it means I can now use the phone with a fully-working proximity sensor.

However, having dropped the phone only once in the year that I've owned it, don't you just know that the moment I start using it without the protective casing .... !
[Desire General] Phil750123:
I assume others are having this problem but not seen much posted about it

other then some people using other message alerts.

But basically, i get a text, i click on the message thing, reply to the text, but in the top corner the message sign is still there, and the led still flashes.

Its a little bug but rather anoying.

Any fixes?

Im not using any message alert things, just the normal pre loaded one.
[Desire General] martuk:
I've had it a few times, normally when I'm in the sms app anyway and get sent another. Only way to clear it I've found is to send myself a message then read & delete it
[Desire General] Aitese:
I find a faster way is to quickly delete the messages icon and put back on your desktop.

[Hero CDMA General] noiroi:
I'm a bit confused as to what to expect from the update released today. I was under the impression that live wall papers, and friend stream would be in this release.

How can we tell what is missing from this release that would normally be part of a "standard" Android 2.1 release?
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:

[Hero CDMA General] posguy99:
FriendStream wouldn't be in a "standard" 2.1 release, it's an HTC product.
[Hero CDMA General] noiroi:
Thanks for the reply. So, everything that is supposed to be in a "standard" 2.1 release is in there? What about live wallpapers, and gallery? Is that too someone else?
[Hero CDMA General] tstack77:
You're a little confused with all that's been hacked to work on our 2.1 leaks. Live wallpapers (LWP) were made for the nexus and ported over (after a TON of work since our hardware is not made for them). Friendstream is from the newer rosies/HTC models and was never promised to work on sprint, iirc it doesn't play nice with our framework.

Sorry to say that if you don't see it in the official release, it's not meant for the hero. Good news is that if you didn't run the RUU and lose root, you will get these features in almost every rom.
[Hero CDMA General] noiroi:
