thank you very much... it works... i love the ffboy 6.1 and change the radio to malaysian official rom which is very good including gps coverage no dropouts at all

thanks again
[HD2 General] AyanamiZer00:
I'm having trouble with the proximity sensor on my HD2. It works if the phone is pressed up directly on my ear, but if I move it away just the slightest, the screen comes back. Is there somewhere I can access the proximity sensor settings, and give myself a bit more room? Like, say, anything inside an inch shuts off the screen?

ROM info is in the sig, and I'm using the HTC phone dialer, if that makes any difference.

Aw balls, I hate it when there's a thread for this, and my impatience with searching failed to find it.

Thanks!
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Doesn't sound like that app does anything for the sensitivity, unless i missed it. it just makes the screen stay off after the sensor is activated.

However the point of the proximity sensor is to shut off the screen so your ear isn't pressing buttons. If you've got the phone far enough away from your ear to reactivate the screen, then there's no longer a need to turn off the screen to prevent ear dialing.

If you're worried about power savings, the screen should shutoff in a minute or so, depending on your screen timeout options
[HD2 General] Nibbley15:
correct, I haven't found a way to change the sensitivity for it, just turn it on or off. I believe the way the sensor works like a motion sensor in a store, either you are there or not... Hardware driven on sensitivity, not software.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
I actually posted about the sensor in another post. The sensor is just an IR LED and a photo diode. The photo diode looks for the reflected IR when the phone is near something like your ear.

The IR LED only turns on during a phone call. Try this get a digital camera with a live preview and aim it at the 2 dots where the proximity sensor is, you'll see the IR LED light up when you initiate a call

The same photo diode is used to alter the screen brightness depending on the ambient light that hits it

So what is the best "WW3 Ready" case for the HD2 ?

I know for the Iphone we have Otterbox etc, what are the top 3 for the HTC HD2 ?

It needs to protect it from a fall on concrete and look cool.

Thanks !
[HD2 Accessories] osrix:
try this!

In my opinion the best compromise between cool look and good protection is Otterbox.

Commuter Case

Defender Case
[HD2 Accessories] Dunc001:
This morning I have just received my Defender case from Otterbox (a little hacked off with them because I only ordered my Commuter from them three weeks ago because they told me there were no plans to release a Defender - hey ho!) and man is it rugged! Check it out on their website. It is basically a high impact plastic two part inner with built in screen and lens protection (no need for stickons, although I have left my adhesive protector on and the capacitative screen still works perfectly through two layers of protection), plus a full wrapround silicone outer. But forget the crappy feel of cheap skins, this is seriously high quality and wonderfully tactile. And boy does it protect! I decided to throw my HD2 across the office this morning just to test the new case and it just bounced! It comes with a belt clip which the whole phone clips into, so if you don't want to use it you don't have a bulky clip permanently attached to your case. The hardware buttons work perfectly (the outer skin has button pushes moulded in) - they feel more positive than the ones on my commuter case too. There is an easy access flap over the usb and headphone ports so no dust ingress. It does add a lot of bulk to the phone but it looks and feels great. I'm going to hang on to my commuter for when I need my phone to slide neatly into my pocket, but I suspect it will be wearing the Defender most of the time now. It is not cheap but well worth the price to protect a £400+ phone. If you are into active pursuits (or just accident prone) buy this case!

[HD2 Accessories] ribcage:
Man, that is some rugged case. Thanks for the review. I can't believe you threw your phone to test it! :eek:
[HD2 Accessories] dijay_94:
My only query with these 'rugged' cases is that I see it more likely for my phone to be dropped in water or get splashed on out in the rain of here Merry Old England or the downpours of India then get run over by a 3 ton forklift (yeah, this is the sort of testing they do!)

So my question would be are the otterboxes water-resistant (not waterproof i.e. can it withstant around 1 minute immersion in water?
[HD2 Accessories] osrix:

[HD2 Accessories] Fif23:
For some reason I cannot find the Defender Otterbox anywhere with WW shipping ! It's not even showing up on the otterbox site.

Any ideas ?

btw- The " US " Version means T-Mobile's ?

BTW2- Is T-Mobile's version the only one with 570mb of RAM ?
[HD2 Accessories] Dunc001:
Takes about 15 seconds to remove the case and 45-50 seconds to put it on as the outer silicone skin needs to be fitted around various tabs and into channels to ensure the case is splashproof.

It's on the Otterbox site and the shipping options come up at checkout - $7.95 standard global or $16.45 priority with taxes and duty (mine took 3 days with latter). Look here for the case - http://www.otterbox.com/htc-cases/h...al/htc-hd2-defender-series-case-international
[HD2 Accessories] Dunc001:
Priority shipping to UK including taxes and duties was $16 and it arrived in under three days. Standard global is $7.95 I think.
[HD2 Accessories] badai:
too bad. out of stock already.

nice one thanks!...looks like i waited too long tho :(
[HD2 Accessories] Fif23:
What is the difference between the cummuter and the defender ? Is the commuter much less protective ?

Also, does the "International Otterbox HD2 Defender" fit the T-Mobile HD2 ?
[HD2 Accessories] lquigley:
Defender

commuter is just like rubber skin,, defender has the inner case to protect hd2.. No, the international is only for Telstra & t8585, not us tmobile
[HD2 Accessories] Fif23:
Thanks !

So what is the second best protection case available for the T-Mobile after the Defender ? (Seeing that Otterbox dont make Defenders for T-Mob)
[HD2 Accessories] Paten:
Wrong. Is it so hard to go to the website and actually read what the features are?

I already have a Harmony One with the IR to BT receiver but I think it would be pretty awesome to control the menu/Blu-Rays with my N1.

It can't be that hard to develop. If you had a BT keyboard you can connect it to the PS3 and you can mimmick the controls with certain keyboard buttons. (I think, haven't personally tried it but the functionality should be there for EVERY buttion. So far I've just tried the arrows.)

If I knew a crap about developing I'd do it myself.

Right, I have been on froyo for about a week and have been missing certain cyan features so decided to flash back. Flashed the old radio through fastboot and then flashed the new test5.

Thought I might try flashing froyo again?

Any suggestions.?

[Droid Eris Android Development] orcsbane13:
hey guys and gals. I'm a huge fan of all the devs work here and have tried most roms.

I was wondering if it would be possible to get a rooted 1.5 with oc and a functioning YouTube player? I like 2.1 but enjoyed 1.5 more. my only complaints from it was YouTube didn't work and was a tad slow.

I know there are a couple of rooted 1.5 roms from a few months ago but none with these modifications.

Thanx guys and keep up the great work on these roms. :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sheen160:
2.1 is basically 1.5 but faster and with more things. Why would you want a 1.5 rom? Just out of curiosity.
[Droid Eris Android Development] orcsbane13:
I find 2.1 to be rather buggy. I find 1.5 to be more stable. like I said if I could get oc and a working youtube player 1.5 would be perfect imo.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
Not sure if you're already rooted, but a quality rooted 2.1 ROM has less bugs than even 1.5 had.
[Droid Eris Android Development] t2noob:
Replace the youtube apk from 2.1 and f flash the oc patch zanfur made and that will get you 1.5 with your desired tweaks.

I think that's all you would need.

[Droid Eris Android Development] orcsbane13:
tried both. did adb push of YouTube player wouldn't show up so I wiped dalvik thinking that would install it but that just caused endless fc loops.

Also tried flashing the oc kernel, touch screen quit working after reboot. thank the lord for nand backups lol.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sheen160:
I bet youtube apk won't work from 2.1 on 1.5 because it's written for 2.1. The same may be for zanfurs kernel. You could try jcase's plain jane which is just plain old 2.1 with a few fixes and OC. I know you said 2.1 is buggy but I haven't noticed anything bad or buggy about it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] orcsbane13:
Yeah, I've used plain jane just plagues me with the same annoying bugs because as you said it is 2.1. What I'm looking for is like plain Jane but as 1.5 instead of 2.1.

I know there's not a lot of demand for cupcake roms so it's no biggie if no one wants to tackle the project. just figured wouldn't hurt to ask. :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sheen160:
What are the 2.1 bugs if I may ask?

If I knew how to make a 1.5 ROM I would.. I'll eventually figure it out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] orcsbane13:
dialer lag even with oc going, just not as bad. keyboard lag, sometimes hangs on keys. UI is faster in 1.5 from my experience ad far as adding widgets. and so on lol.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sheen160:
You shouldn't have the dialer lag or lag for adding widgets. I updated to 2.1 leak and I still didn't have any dialer lag, only in 1.5. But oh well.

Maybe someone will be able to quickly cook one up. I'll try my hand at it later this week.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jonathanphx1:
There is a rooted 1.5 ROM out there I have run it on my phone a few times however as far as I know there is no OC kernal for it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] orcsbane13:
yeah, I'm running the 1.5 rooted edition. that's why I was seeing if someone could come up with a way to add in oc kernel and a functional YouTube player.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Interesting thread... not sure if you only want the HTC sense UI but it may be worth your while to try my xtrROM as was worried about similar items... I had to have nav though which made 2.1 the option for me.

Not sure when i'll get time but I am intrigued by your thoughts and will have to research a cupcake build.

i had keyboard lag, and keys hanging on 1.5 and through on to 2.1 hence I dont use the sense keyboard anymore swype or vanilla only. I like the htc more then the vanilla, but the hang ups were really a deal breaker. never had a problem with widgets. HTC dialer lagged in sense in 1,5 and 2.1 for me, granted it improved dramatically in 2.1 i dont notice it half as much anymore.

Se for it was all a lot worse in 2.1. I'm on 1.5 now and as soon as I hit the quick dial button for my wife my blue tooth is turning on and ringing. closest I've gotten to that on 2.1 is with the cyanogen based roms, which I keep a nand of for days when I feel vanilla ;-)

As someone who owns a HD2 and a Evo, I have no idea why you would want to use WinMo, 6.5 is as glitchy as 5.0 was as CE was years ago when the MDA and pre-MDA devices were the new and upcoming thing.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja_unmatched:
You probably right but the HD2 is totally out since it is for T-mobile. I have Sprint. I had my GF get the EVO and it is a really nice phone but you cannot do everything you could do in WinMo.

I've gotten really good at the internet searching thing and hasnt been anything I could not find. From what I can see I love the phone the EVO.

What people forget is that phones are just small PCs. And Microsoft never changes. Explanation: Microsoft has long come out with OSs that were resource hogs=too much for the systems of the times. It is this reason I see why there is always more issues (in a lot of cases as well as user error) on the Windows platform. It is no different in Windows Mobile. I find my phone behaves like every PC I have worked on and the fixes have been the same. i.e. virus removal maybe, free up used resources, add more space, remove certain 3rd party apps (this is to a large extent a problem for WinMo. If software code was written bad it can cause issues in the OS.) , or total refresh.

WinMo is only bad cause we like to put alot of stuff on our phones. Also no 1 created like 1 good solution for certain problems. 4 instances media playback. You had to find several solutions in order to be able to play all the Video formats....by the way this has not changed with Android. Also as of now if you like having movies on phone will need even more space if you using Android due the being limited to playing mp4/h264 vids. Mp4 is still good but Xvid still has better compression/quallity ratio.

Since using my GF's EVO and having to install numerous apps to do stuff she got used to in WinMo I notice a performance difference so really the game has not changed. Android is what...Linux right.

I know linux too and it does have lower overhead to run but linux still after being around for awhile still has work to do. Ever has to deal with Kernel changes? Can be a real pain in anus when you get your Linux nice with cube running and everything and that new better kernel comes out and 80% if not 100% of the time you have to start over.

Linux is more ideal for smaller devices because of its smaller footprint but as devices are now getting better.......I've seen linux being used in vending machines (ever unplug 1 and plug back in and see it boot up on the screen?)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jye75:
Having had both WinMo and Android, I cannot tell you how many times I had to reboot my WinMo devices (not from having too many apps either), versus my Android devices due to system freezes.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllanonMage:
I wonder if the sampling rate is appropriate here: android devices have much more power and RAM than the older WinMo devices. My Uni is awesome, but slow. My Supersonic (EVO) is awesome and fast, but is it the OS, or 5 years of hardware advancements and the gobs of RAM?
