[G1 General] jereader:
I have had my G1 for several months (since sep. 09 I believe) and it has been a great phone. A couple of months ago, I dropped it and it landed face down underneath the 3900mAh battery I had installed, putting a nice big spider web crack in the glass. It still worked fine, just a little harder to read some parts of the screen.

No other phones came to Tmo with a spec list to my liking in the interim, so I kept the G1 despite the cracked glass. So fast forward to today... I was unloading some rocks from my jeep cherokee for my new pond. I finished the unloading, and went inside, and quickly realized I didn't have my phone. Thinking I may have left it at the friends' house who I got the rocks from, I jumped in the jeep to go check. When I got out of the jeep to close the gate, what do I see, but my phone in the original Tmo sleeve, with a nice fresh tire track across it.

So, I grab the phone, and pull it out. It was still on, and working fine. The battery cover was cracked on both sides, and the screen had more cracks, but it still works perfectly! Even the touchscreen is fine.

Fortunately, I have an MT3GS on order that should be here monday, but I think I'll be keeping my G1 for a long time, to show off the fact that HTC knows how to build a phone!
[G1 General] topdnbass:
I wish I was as lucky as you.

I dropped it about twice and the second time the screen went white and it no longer works lol.

I was on the phone, so it was a bit under a 6foot drop.

Still, very disappointed.. I've been phone less for too long.

Can't wait for the incredibles to re-appear.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Ta hell with "incredibles". What we need is for the HTC VISION to materialize.
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
You just don't know how many times I've dropped my myTouch drunk. Trust me, it's in the teens at least from what I can at least remember. I'm lucky to have to snap on case which usually snaps off, but I'm sure it breaks most the fall. Nothing but a few scratches. I agree, these are some strong phones.
[G1 General] boodies:
i dropped mine from second floor balcony to the garden, no nothing. Everything works as if nothing happened. No scratch or crack. Then I threw it by accident and the whole thing came apart lol

Without data connection is this google map a piece of crap?

wth does the gps function do?.... i tried the "DIRECTIONS" with only GPS active and its not working

anyone confirm without the INTERNET this map is a junk?

and what does the GPS exactly used for when we cannot use "DIRECTIONS mode"?
[Omnia II General] hkwildboy:
The program itself is not, the people who doesnt know how it works and scream like a mad dog is.......

Google map doesn't store map data on your phone, thus, occupies very little space on your WM. That's the way it's designed to operate. By comparison, Google Navigator keeps all viewed mapdata until one deletes it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Coach:
Has anyone ever installed the F1 app that monitors the Formula 1 grand prix's and got it to work on a TP (xda sERRA)

I keep getting an error saying...

"E: 2java.lang OutOfMemoryError"

and I touch the screen and get a black screen then nothing

It works great on my Artemis but just not on my TP

I've tried... reboots, task29, fresh roms, stock rom, closing all apps and having a minimum rom no sw other than java and the F1 app.

Anyone got this working or know a fix?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Android so far as far as I can determine does NOT support using a Bluetooth GPS for the location data but I'm hoping maybe Froyo does..

The GPS built into phones is fine for car nav and some low-resolution stuff, but to have any accuracy or hold a decent lock under heavy foliage or urban jungles a bluetooth GPS with a dedicated chipset is necessary.

I geocache a lot, and my Holux 236 has never failed me, it always has lead me right to where a geocache is, yet my Nexus One tonight the heading and distance stuck, stuttered, seemed to be 20+ feet off at times, and almost IMMEDIATELY went stupid after going under foliage.

I've seen a few programs that'll use Bluetooth GPS themselves, but they are one-off programs which use the GPS directly, not replace the internal GPS data with the Bluetooth GPS data which is what I really need.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Anyone with Froyo and a bluetooth GPS?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diaxio:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
The answer was no... Still an open issue, probably will remain an open issue. :(

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9057

Looks like there's maybe two possibilities, one open-ended "I have solved this" with no real info, and another "Bluetooth GPS Mouse" app in market that is said to work. I'm going to try. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
So far this seems to work! I've got an email out to the author, I'll post some more on it soon.

Pretty slick the way he's done it, I have a question out to how automatic the GPS connection/redirection is upon reconnection of the device (ie: do you need to reconnect it manually or is it automaic) and if it's not automatic right now, I'll stress that it needs to be.

It did immediately get coordinates when I connected it to my Holux 236, where the internal would take 10-15+ seconds and the coordinates would wander around for a while. This got coordinates and they stuck... I watched carefully and I saw the latitude go .605 to .606 then back to .605 a few times.. I didn't make sure they were accurate yet, I'll do that later, but by eyeball they were.

It doesn't seem to report sats fixed nor sat signal levels.. I'm concerned this might make some apps think there is no fix and wait forever for it. GeOrg and GPS Test seemed to not care, they reported the right location and it seemed to work.

I did not put it through any real life tests, just sat in my car in the parking lot at work and checked out my location.

I'm concerned if other important info like altitude, bearing, and speed are reported. I'll update when I get a response to the email of course.

One more thing I forgot to ask but I'll see in practice is if using this I can still use the electronic compass. Not that it's great, but it is convenient. Honestly though I'll still be happy without it.

There is a free trial that disconnects every 10m, or a 2 euro paid version. Very reasonable.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Author responded, he sounds right on top of the current limitations and is working on them. I suspect once he has worked on this a tad more, it'll work great. Give the trial version a try and see how it works!

I found that nearly all of my geocaching programs "just work", no fuss. I found that Google Earth gets an accurate fix but can't seem to find "My Location". Both seem to be because he's working on getting the satelite fix data into the program, if possible. Right now it reports 0.

Built-in compass still works fine!

He'll be working on automatic reconnection after he tweaks a few more things and sees what kind of efficiencies he can make and bugs he can drive out.

I was successfully using GPS Mouse with stock Eclair 2.1 & my GlobalSat Bluetooth GPS with my running program.

I have since flashed to Froyo JPO rom & now when I try & use the program I feel a vibration in the phone, the screen soon goes black & then does a mini re-boot & back to my home screen again??

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
I'm using Bluetooth GPS Provider now, it works FLAWLESSLY, start and forget it while I'm using the GPS. Even if the GPS disconnects, phone is in standby extended periods, etc, always immediately reconnects and works.

As for your specific problem, dunno, but give it a try.

If you have a ROM-specific issue, you need to talk to the ROM cook.

I am trying to create a htc hd2 like contact list and the only thing stopping me is the finger friendly scroll like in the hd2.

I was trying to use the .net cf Gestures API but it doesn't seems to help and i am getting flickers when scrolling.

If there is any solution you can suggest it will be great.

Thanks, Emil B.

Try this API: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=648906

It is really simple to use and great for those sort of lists. If you specifically need a item-layout like in the contacts (right image/right text) i think it is possible but i would not know exactly how. Eboelzner, the author, has promised an example for one of the next versions though.

i was jus wondering ...

i use don salari's W6.5 wit sense 2.1 ... on my diamond ...

i was jus randomly trying to speed up stuff on my fone ... esp d messaging hangs ... after i get d cost notifications n den wen i gotta get back to d inbox from a particular thread ...

However ... i had an idea .... i set d clock speed to 528 mhz ... n i did notice improvement ...

i believe ... d processor speed is managed by d OS .. n it is reduced wen d device is not in use ... so wont d device perform well ... if d clock speed was maintained @ 528??

well d battery definitely goes down faster :( ...

my doubt however ... is will heavier ROMs run smooth if i set d clock speed to 528mhz ... @ all times

i wud love comments ...

P.S ... n d guys hu cook .... yu guys are awesum :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vapaus00:
You could.

If I'm not wrong this can be pretty easly be done but there are lots of disadvantages. First of all battery life already sucks, it would be even worse, than the phone might not take it and just break and since you overclocked it there's not more warranty.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] saurabh88:
when i have had my elfin i was usually overclock it always to 260mhz from 201.without any issue.i havent faced any problem not even battery drain..

so as per my cal.u can overclock upto 30%of ur original speed.means ~650mhz dude without any issue..

but start with 560..that would be suffice..

Before the photo is taken everything looks excessively grainy, but it seems that the dual LED's fix that right up. Unfortunately, video looks really bad at night.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmomoman:
It has nothing to do with the Dual LED's. Daytime shots in good light do not trigger the LED's so making statements like that only causes confusion. The grainy aspect is for quicker response times on the screen as you don't need high resolution screen quality to shoot high quality pictures. You just have to make sure it's in focus and what you want to shoot.

Videos looks really bad at night because you are using a PHONE CAMERA and LENS. Turn on the LED's with the Torch APP and light the way for a little better night video shooting.

Heck of a lot better than IPHONE right? No flash = no night time shots.

I don't know if bad or good but, something is definitely about to happen.. I probably missed something somewhere in there.. But, there are alot of things going on.. and I am wondering what is going to happen besides the obvious announcement of of the new iphone..

I am wondering if a new android device is coming out, or perhaps at&T is getting a subsidized (that feels nasty to say) nexus one.. or if perhaps something else is coming out..Either way it feels like something big is about to happen..

Apple is going to give att a bigger cut of sales of iDont phones. Att is rasing price on data plans for real smart phones to foce people to see the "cheaper monthly" rate of the iDont phone.

Alright, you asked so I'll spill it. Here's exactly what's going to happen:

AT&T will continue to give their customers the middle finger while taking them for everything left in their wallets.

They will unveil a new service that is already commonplace to every other provider, and everyone will praise them for boldly doing what no entity has done before.

Apple, on the other hand, will continue to give their customers the middle finger while taking them for everything left in their wallets. They will charge more for less while telling their customers they're getting a great deal, and they're revolutionizing the industry. They will unveil a new feature that is already commonplace to every other device, and everyone will praise them for boldly doing what no entity has done before.

[HD2 General] TheProfiteer:
Hello everyone, this is my fist post here on XDA. I just purchased a HD2 T-Mobile US 1024 version. Main reason I got it is because I have been lurking here in the XDA forums, and thought that these custom Roms, might very well make my HD2 a usable phone, because as it stands right now, with HTC Sense 2.5 UI its completely unbearable.

I am completely lost when navigating these forums though, I would really love some help.

I have been reading about some good things here, like Coreplayer and MaxSense, but I really have no idea how to get started.

I read some of the sticky threads, but all i can gather is that before getting started i head to install something called HardSPL, but after that I am at a loss.

some of my system info is

OS Version

5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)

Manilla Version

2.5.20121412.1

ROM version

2.10.531.1

Radio Version

2.08.50.08_2

some one please help a noob out.

I just went into my Bootloader, and my SPL version is 2.0.08 I believe.

[HD Mini General] wimdows:
hi!

I was just wondering. Has anyone tried to use a pen on the HD mini. I know the HD mini comes without a pen, but I don't know for sure whether the screen only responds to the fingers (warmth) or whether it also responds to pointy things (pressure).

Using ones fingers to control a smartphone is alright, but I do like using a pen for the fidgety stuff or scribbling notes. I also use the pen that goes with my wacom tablet on my phone when I am working both at the same time.

So I am curious about this.

Can anyone tell me more about this?
[HD Mini General] hitman_05:
Pen

HTC HD Mini has a capacitive display so you cannot use pen because it doesn't respond on a pressure caused by pen. Fingers only.
[HD Mini General] moscard:
Hi,

It exists some capacitive pens, but be careful.

I purchased some cheaper pen on ebay for almost nothing; nevertheless they do not work well.

What I tried to do is to find a precise pen for playing to games where precision is needed like ScumVM.

But these cheaper pens react less well than the finger and are less precise. In brief the fingers are better!

Nevertheless I found a special HTC pen “ST C400”, they say that is a must. I ordered one but it cost about $40 with shipping, for only one pen! I hope for this price it will work!
[HD Mini General] traveller:
Capacitive pens for the mini

The HTC STC400 from htc or on Ebay(about £16 in the UK) will work fine on it and seemingly also on most of the htc range.I use one on 3 different htc phones including the Mini.

The cheaper ones are very poor and feel just like an ordinary pencil rubber !! and drag so better to avoid them

Clive
[HD Mini General] nivi78:
You can also search for the capacitive pens from a taiwanese company called "DAGI". They are more affordable than the HTC STC400 and are really precise. From what I can tell, they use almost the same design as the HTC STC400.
[HD Mini General] wimdows:
Having to buy a expensive special pen that doesn't fit in the actual phone itself, doesn't strike me as progress, to be honest.

So how about scribbling and doodling with your fingertip instead of a pen?

Does that work?

I find it hard going on the pressure sensitive screen on my Touch. I have to use my nail for it to work, and I can't see what I am writing.
[HD Mini General] nivi78:
@ Windows: you´ll probably need some time to get used to the capacitive screen. As a previous HTC diamond user I also used my nails to type and to navigate through my phone. Nails don´t work on capacitive screens. You´ll have to put the flesh of your fingers on the screen. The problem for scribbling is that the line you draw is usually thinner than your finger. So you cannot really see what you are drawing. Since recent programms are usually fingerfriendly I didn´t encounter that many problems so far. Only programms that use a lot of drop down menus can be really tricky. I only use the pen for one programm. But even we that in mind, I personally wouldn´t go back to a resistance touch screen.
[HD Mini General] moscard:
same as nivi,

I am not sure if it is really a resistive or capacitive debate, but new phones are really more reactive.

I broke my mini and I had to return to Diamond (resistive) but very slow in regard to mini, and I have lot of dificulties to readapt myself to the stylus and Diamond usage.

Would recommend you to read the various threads with the roms offered than you get an idea. Keep in mind that what works for somebody else, might not work for you eg. your phone. And vica versa.

Also adding various performance tweaks (advanced configuratin tools, SK Tools, Diamond tweak) give (big) improvements.

So my g/f just got her slide today, and as we were playing with it throughout the day, we noticed that after a while, the phone would no longer recognize that it had a SD card installed... we'd have to pop the back off, pop out the SD card, then put it back again for the phone to recognize it again.
