Not sure (probably so) if anyone has found or noticed, but the lockscreen is easily bypassed on some builds. My build is HTC TP2(TMO) Energy ROM OS version 5.2.23569(23569.5.5.0), Manilla version 2.5.20121225.0.CFC, ROM version 28.MAY.2010 WWE, Radio 4.49.25.91 . With the latest 1.8.0 CoOKie home tab, plus 1.8 CHT. Upon hitting the power button to turn on the phone and activate the lock screen, you can just "slide" the phone open to expose the keyboard, close it again and...tahdah! You now have access to the Menu button in which you can change lockscreen settings or any other setting for that matter. I am not sure which software is the culprit, just wanted to give a heads up. Kind of defeats the purpose of having the lockscreen at all. Thank you for your time, and great programming work!

I've found in my sdcard file "hosts", which redirects domains, and in this file are some malware cleaners, p0rn pages and others... Is that any android virus or unsuccessful step to hack my hosts? Thanks... :confused:
[Legend General] noobdeagle:
well i was looking for a hosts file to ad the adblock filters to, and i dont even have one on my sd card :\ so maybe you can delete it ?
[Legend General] ali ba:
The hosts file on your sdcard won't do anything.

To get redirection working you have to put your Legend in recovery mode, mount /system and copy hosts to /system/etc.

In normal mode you can't write to your phone' system partition making it perfectly safe when it comes to viruses trying to alter something there.

Well, I started a thread over in the Q & A Section and didn't get much response back. I'm hoping some Dev's interested in playing with the HDMI port on the EVO can shed some light onto why or why not my train of thought is off its tracks.

The premise is this:

Could one really use this as a desktop PC running Android or is the HDMI connector doomed to a life of powerpoint presentations in corporate board rooms and showing phone-captured pics & video of the kids after vacation on the shiny HDTV?

So one addition to what you had posted in your previous thread there is that the QSD8650 only supports 720p (1280x720) resolution. What would be the video card in a regular computer just isn't able to render more pixels than that.

[Desire General] donald2603:
Hi guys,

its time to renew my mobile contract and I would like to have the HTC Desire.

But before getting it, I would like to ask a question.

At home, at university and at my friends home I have internet connection via Wifi, so I figered out I don't need a data option in my contract.

Now the T-Mobile guy told me I absolutely need one, because the cell phone connects with it to download updates.

In a youtube video I saw someone switching to wifi only at the welcome wizard after first power-on.

So, now my question: I'm really most of the time connected with wifi, do I really need data option????

I don't use social networks, so friends steam has no updates, same with the weather!!

Thanks for answers
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Technically you don't need a data contract - you can switch off mobile internet and just rely on WiFi.

However, IMHO, if you're going to do that you're probably better off with a dumbphone and an iPod Touch, because you're really not using the phone as it was intended and you're going to get infinitely superior battery life.

Just an opinion - I appreciate that there are plenty of reasons why you might want the Desire regardless! :)

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] donald2603:
Ok, thanks...

And yes, there are plenty of reasons. :)

Whats with vacation? E.g. when I go for two weeks out of my Wifi area?

Will it go online then or wait until I'm in Wifi again?

Btw: In my area there is only Edge available, so even if I wanted I can not use it as it was intended to!

Dennis
[Desire General] foxmeister:
If you switch off mobile internet, it won't go online via the a cellular network.

If you want to be really, really, sure that it will never go online via cellular, you can delete the APN (i.e. you are worried you or someone else will turn on mobile internet accidentally).

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] donald2603:
OK, that is a good idea.

I made that with my very old phone i bought 2003. There you had the option to set more than one APN profile. So i made up an empty one and made it the default one.

So I could switch to the real on in case I really need it.

Maybe you can tell my how to do this in android if you have time?

But thanks so far for your help.

Dennis
[Desire General] ferus:
You can add the APN in the Phone settings. Not that different from WM :-)

But I only use the Internet connection switch on my desktop.

I can simply switch it off and the phone will never connect to internet via GSM.

Unless someone messes with your phone and turns it on again it is a 100% guarantee that it will never connect via GSM.

I don't bother with APN anymore.

Swype has worked since day one, the latest version is Here, Version 1.56. It doesn't have to be specific to the evo, just to our screen size, WVGA, same as the N1. This is the big swype thread for the N1, that has all the information you'll need.

Arrow keys - Swype from the swype key to the sym key and you get arrow keys and a bunch of other things

Punctuation - Swype from the period, question mark, etc to the space bar. It will add it and put a space

[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
Is there a way to make an application use a different volume than the rest of the device (and I'm not talking about the "ring" and "system" volumes).

Why? Allow me to give an example:

I generally keep the system sounds rather quiet. If I listen to music over the speaker I don't want it to distract me, as I'm usually using it to make working more pleasant.

But then I get into my car and I want the navigation app to speak to me; engine and traffic sounds tend to be rather loud (and my car isn't one of those super quiet ones either), so I'd really like the volume to be upped to the max... unfortunately I usually forget to set it up before firing up the engine.

So, it would be really grand if I could make this app use a completely different, "preset" volume or perhaps, in the very least, use the ringer volume (which I have a lot louder, BTW). Is there any way to do that?

Is there anyway to possibly reduce the blur the evo's sceen size causes some icons/widgets to have and give it a more sharper look?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajones7279:

You could just use a different launcher... You'll lose the Sense widgets but other elements of Sense (FB integration in contacts, etc) will remain. I've gotta say I'm not terribly fond of HTC's launcher so far, buncha wasted space on the bottom bar and the layout makes very little sense (why do I need a permanent button to add additional shortcuts to my screens?).

Widget apps like Beatiful Widgets and Pure Calendar can easily replace most of the HTC Widgets... I'll probably go thru all of HTC's Widgets tomorrow to see if there's any I'll miss before trying out a different launcher. My 2 cents...

Hi guys

I've written to HTC about the fact that the news widget doesn't update automatically and about the fact that the facebook profile pictures on your contacts doesn't also, but they've told me it must be something wrong with my phone as they've had no other complaints.

Looking on this website though suggests otherwise, so if you encounter this problem, pls leave your thoughts on here so that I can reply back with the link saying it's not an isolated incedent.

[Desire General] tuatha:
no, the news widget doesn't update. there have been a few threads about it already.

also, I emailed them about it myself and I'm sure I'm not the only one so it's strange that they would say they're not aware of it. I guess people aren't passing the message along...
[Desire General] ferus:
I don't use the HTC News widget but the Facebook pictures not updating is bugging me.

I'm going to write an email to HTC support right now (along with some other bugs and problems).
[Desire General] tuatha:
Before you do that, search this forum for the threads about the issue and provide links in your email, so they know it's widespread.

Maybe part of the problem is that we're all in different parts of the world and emailing our local HTC support.

If one branch isn't receiving a lot of complaints about it, they might not communicate it to the central support team.

Will do. Though I have to wait a few more minutes until my Desire is charged. I need to check my serial number before I send anything :-)

[EVO 4G Android Development] ddeflyer:
So the talk about the nexus one getting 720p video got me curious about exactly what sensors we have in our phones, most specifically the camera sensor.

After prodding around some a reading through the logs, I noticed a couple of things.

About the main camera:

It looks like we have an OmniVision OV8810 cmos sensor. This is a back side illuminated 1/3.2" sensor. The data sheet for it says that it has a pixel pitch of 1.4um and can output full frames at 10 fps, 1080p at 30 fps, 720p at 60 fps and QVGA at 120 fps. (I think I've read somewhere that the QSD8650 can only do hardware encode at 720p, but looking for that now I can only find information about decode). The marketing material that I found about this chip says that it handles exposure, light balance, light flicker, gain control and other things on chip. It also is supposed to be controlled over a two wire serial bus and that it outputs raw RGB information. I don't know if this means we can do anything more than 720p with it, but wouldn't it be cool...

About the front facing camera:

This is the OV9665 cmos 1.3 Megapixel chip. It is a front lit chip with similar contols like white balance, sharpness, hue, etc. again all on the chip. It can output 1280x1024 at 15 fps and 640x480 at 30 fps. The chip can output SXGA, VGA, CIF and anything less than CIF down to 40x30 pixels. This camera actually has a 2.0 um pixel pitch which is better than the main camera.

About the proximity/ambient light sensor:

This is a Capella CM3602 just liken in the nexus one. It can detect from 0 to over 1000 lux. I think the materials I found said that it has a proximity sensor range of 2 cm.

About the 3 axis accelerometer:

This is a BMA150. It is supposed to have a temperature sensor, four or three wire spi interface with an I2C interrupt pin. It is able to generate its own interrupts and has three sensitivity ratings (+/- 2, 4 and 8 G each with decreasing sensitivity) This chip seems to have a decent amount of programmability and the data sheet for it is available for free online which is pretty cool.

About the 3 axis megnetometer/orientation sensor:

This is a AK8973. It also has a built in temperature sensor. It has an 8 bit interface and also an I2C serial bus. The sensitivity of this is variable though I can't figure out exactly what the parameters are or the min/max. The datasheet for this is also available online for free.

If I figure out other things I will add them to this post.

Update 1: Added the front facing camera details
[EVO 4G Android Development] ffolkes:
nice list.

people should check out Sensor List in the marketplaces, it's free and really interesting, i just learned of it today.

it's a shame so many apple fanboys don't realize the evo (and possibly other htc phones) had a backlit camera long before apple used one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ddeflyer:
Yeah, I was happy when I saw that we also have a back lit cmos, though they do have a better pixel pitch; 1.75 um vs. 1.4 um. It is actually the same sized chip, we just have more cells. The effect of that is that we will have a little worse low light performance because of diffraction issues assuming the light sensitivity of each cell is the same.

I also played around with several sensor dump utilities, but they didn't really tell me all the details I wanted (for instance how far the proximity sensor could detect) Also, I would really like to have an environmental temperature sensor (the battery one wouldn't really work because the battery heats up as the phone is used) and we have several that we aren't reading.

The other thing is I have too many friends that are enamored with the new iphone, and I would love to show them up with a 1080p camera on this phone. It might become a project for me...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Negrito:
I wonder if it would be possible to shoot in RAW format the like a DSLR?? Oh but i guess photoshop wouldnt know how to decode it though. Bah... It was a nice thought.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ddeflyer:
I'm not really sure what they product specs mean by "raw RGB", it might only mean that it gives the resultant pixels as individual four bit triplets instead of streaming out jpeg or otherwise encoded format information. It might also mean something like a DSLR too, though I would more expect the prior...
