[HTC Excalibur] Pierrot Lunaire:
I've been searching for a phone for my brother and while searching around the net I bumped into the SAR levels information of the Excalibur.

It's definitely high, and I was wondering if that worry any of you and if it should worry me. I pretty much noticed a lot of HTC mobiles SARs are high. Maybe I should get a Bluetooth headset.

My second question concerns buying a new phone. I really like the Excalibur and considering maybe just buying another one but the HTC Juno/Shadow sort of interests me. It's almost the same like the Excalibur but looks cooler and has a 2MP camera. But its SAR is even higher than the Excalibur! What do you think? Should I get another Excalibur or the Shadow?
[HTC Excalibur] HnAw:
what is SAR
[HTC Excalibur] Pierrot Lunaire:
SAR = "Specific absorption rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the body when exposed to a radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic field."
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Something alot of us wouldn't put into the equation when buying a phone, can understand why but @ same time i always worry about crossing the road "not just because of them big buses but the Carbon monoxide intake" :D;)
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
In my country you have other issues to worry about LoL...the more your car or bus throws smoke to the air...the coolest :D

Just for your reference here are more HTC phone SAR levels http://sarvalue.blogspot.com/search/label/HTC. So you can search 3 or 4 phones that can really be "better" than my beloved dash (as a device...and also as far as SAR level I assume). ;)
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Yeah i could have used a better comical joke :D but think if i really wrote about the problems that inflict our health in every day living then i'd need a good page or so ;)

I keep deleting my interative icon that seems to always reappear on the start menu ..

But everytime I softreset or turn my phone back on in the morning .. .it appears back on the start menu ..

I just go into windows/startmenu/programs .. then delete it. . .

How do I stop it reappearing ????

I dont need it. . . :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
Do you mean the icons of "people", "peep", "messaging" etc? (stock icons)?

Grtz,

Degake

edit: if so, try this from the "Hints & tips" thread:

Hide Reappearing HTC Icons from Start Menu

If you delete the HTC shortcuts to Peep, People, Messaging etc and reset, they always come back. To hide these shortcuts for good (not the apps just the shortcuts) use the tweak below.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\IsShortcutEn able

Change to 0 and soft reset. You may need to change their shortcut's properties to hidden by accessing them in Windows/Start Menu/Programs folde.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
That icon is invincible, It cannot be destroyed....... I've tried all the tweaks and fixes I could find but it keeps on coming back.........:mad:

I've given up now, it just sits there at the bottom of my start menu like a barefoot squirrel in a tire factory.

Theres probably a way to get rid of it but I havent found it yet........

Let me know if you do...........
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Tokolosh:
try disabling "STK Service" in BSB Tweaks and then deleting the link :rolleyes: easy fix if it's what i think you mean :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
If its that simple I'm gonna cry........

Works.......... :D

[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
Thanks everyone, if this doesnt clear up over the next couple days I think I have a fix.

###########

I have gotten several reports of the app handcent missing from the eris market.

Right now it shows up on my droid, but not on any eris nor apparently the incredible.

Can you guys search for it on your phone (its named handcent sms) and report the following back

Rooted or not?

If not OTA or leak(what version)

If rooted

what rom, and did you use the eris market fix app on it.

Thanks!

jcase
[Droid Eris Android Development] dianeofarcadia:
There are 2 reports on their forum site of missing app from the market - don't say what phones they are and there has not been any further update from anyone on the board there...(edit - htc hero)

Mine - jamezelle's rom and son's EE is missing as well. Only thing showing up are the font packages. We have never had to do the market fixes for any of our phones.
[Droid Eris Android Development] failsaf3:
It shows up for me (App and font packs).

Rooted, PureEris 2.0 (PureHero port). Running Eris Market Fix Donate ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ruh17:
It's there.

Rooted

WW 3.1..... Yes I know

Haven't done any market fix unless it's built into the rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TopazAaron:
NON Rooted Eris = Missing Handcent (You cant see it)

Ic3 Rom Eris = Not missing. (You can see it)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Whitepaint:
Rooted and running WW 3.1 ... (CHILL cyanogen Eris doesnt work for me.)

Never ran a market fix, may be built into rom.. (hope not as i dont think he credited Jcase.. Sigh..) But it shows up in the market for me. Everything does.
[Droid Eris Android Development] irod87:
Its there,

Rooted

White Widow 3.1

Didnt do the fix.
[Droid Eris Android Development] abn75:
the sms app and all the font packages, as well as some keyboard show up for me.

rooted running cyanogeneris
[Droid Eris Android Development] g00gl3:
Eris rooted running Evil Eris 3.0 w/ no market fix --> No Handcent SMS

I will update after running your market fix...

**I ran your market fix, but it still doesn't show up.

Luckily I used Titanium to backup before moving to EE3.0, because I only use Handcent.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Bimmer323:
Ditto here: except, I'm not running Eris Market Fix unless it's built into the rom. :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chevelle1768:
Same here.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Running Sense-Able and Handcent SMS shows up. I have it installed, in fact, and have been notified at least twice of updates available for it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CK420:
Handcent SMS is not showing up for me as well. I just installed EE 3.0, coming from CE. Like someone else said, the Handcent Fonts and Keyboards are only showing up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] br125:
seems as if its just the aosp roms showing it and not those with sense..

Incredible - stock rom = no handcent app, but showing the font packs and keyboard
[Droid Eris Android Development] homer169:
Only showing the keyboard and font packs on Senseable 3.1, however it does show up under downloads as installed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ihtfp69:
Ditto +1 for me
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sheen160:
Shows up for me, app and font packs. Running Aloysius v12 w/LWP without the market fix. Good luck jcase!
[Droid Eris Android Development] xmcjester:
Running ivans 1.0 Ota and handcent doesn't show and not using the market fix

Will check my other roms since I'm bored at work

They are offering Version: 3.0.4 on their site until the Market issue can be resolved.

Handcent Version 3.0.4
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
This is lame, well looks like google has the market foobar'd for some.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lostbytes:
VERSION

I'm Running Plain Jane with the Market fix and No Hancent on the market.

I only have it on my phone due to a backup of the apk.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gohamstergo:
seems to not just be Handcent... just tried to update "Where" and that no longer shows either. Ivans 1.0
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tarpit_Carnivore:
On various roms I've heard certain apps not show up in the market and had to manually install the apk. It's definitely not limited to handcent at all but I wonder if non-root & leak people are having the same problems.
[Droid Eris Android Development] boostlover:
It's not just the ROMs, I'm running stock 2.1OTA right now, no handcent and no launcherpro. Someone at Google dropped the ball for sure.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
Possible fix, someone please try.

1) Grab my market fix app off the market and use it

2) reboot your phone

3) as soon as it boots, dial *#*#2432546#*#*

4) check market for handcent.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sunder74:
something odd...

I had an older version backed up on my sd (via appmonster) I have since switched to chomp...so out of curiosity last night i loaded it up and this AM I had a notification for an update. I deleted and tried to duplicate it and still have not recieved the update. Handcent is showing in market now for me using CE just checked it @ 615 est.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tarpit_Carnivore:
doing this now
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tarpit_Carnivore:

jcase: The issue with Handcent not appearing in the Market is NOT related to people's phones. According to Handcent, the error is caused by Google. Are you working around Google's mistake ?

I have been finding lots of Market items not there....the latest is DriveSafe.ly app....no handcent, just the keyboard and fonts. I am on EE2.01

Hey guys,

Can someone check that is rooted, please do a market search for "com2us" and tell me if homerun battle 3d.pops up
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Does not show up. Their other game Caligo Chaser Free shows up though

that sucks, I really loved that game
[EVO 4G General] illogic6:
Does it show up prior to root?
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Why wouldn't it show up? Is this rooted image signed with test keys?
[EVO 4G General] illogic6:
Good question.
[General Topics] Lokioki:
X10, N900 or HD2.

So now I need you guys and gals to help me solve this problem; which one to buy ? Last one I had was Kaiser, and it was god awful, but I loved it anyway and HTC made phones has got this site as a plus side and ehh... TOO HARD :eek:

just a good list of pros and cons would be good because I don't know any of them, since I have been out of this scene for a long time and haven't had time to follow any reviews. Has there been any problems with drivers or anything with any of those phones ? How is the build quality etc, can I upgrade X10 to A2.2 ?

Personal experiences are more than welcome, specially if you have tried all three phones.
[General Topics] Zd0s:
like a hard keyboard: N900 runs with Linux and nice interface

wanna play around with an easy interface: X10 running android combined with sony ericsson games and apps

like a big screen with big processor: out of the three i would go with this devices because of it's big screen making it good for watching movies and browsing xda :rolleyes: also it is very fast with it's 1Ghz processor!
[General Topics] orb3000:
I would go for Leo with no doubt as it´s HTC and very powerful device with nice big screen!

Have a look here to make a detailed comparision
[General Topics] Lokioki:
Can I upgrade Android like Winmo ? Just flash it and it's done ? I read somewhere that this isn't like in WinMo and I would hate to wait until SE releases new version to their devices : / And I also read that there is some hardware related multitouch issue with X10 ?
[General Topics] Zd0s:
sayin mine wasn't:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::D
[General Topics] kareeem:
I recently got to play with an HD2 from the list you've provided, it'd be best to go with it ;) WM FTW 8)
[General Topics] Zd0s:
it is good but flipping expensive even on Ebay!
[General Topics] ben_duder:
Android is a bit different in that you have to obtain 'root access' before flashing a custom ROM - think 'run as administrator' on a PC. You also get a recovery partition which you can flash and put enhanced features on, which can be nice.

Basically, once you get root and flash a HardSPL then you can flash a new ROM as easily as WM - easier in fact, as you normally do it by SD card.

Anyway, you won't be able to flash a HardSPL or a custom ROM until that root is available, which it currently isn't for the X10 (although it's only a matter of time, really).
[HD2 General] euikyu86:
hd2 has been the greatest for me so far i love it

but recently the camera has been giving me a problem

it says failed to initialize and stuff so i got rid of most of my games and unused apps to make sure its not the memory issue (including opera 10)

and tried soft reset as well but still wont work

has anyone had the same problem and treated it somehow?

cuz the last option i thought of is to hard reset, but im afraid i will lose my txt messages cuz i have lotta stuff that i occasionally look back to in there for various reasons

if i dont lose txts through hard reset or if there is anyway to back up the messages, then i dont mind hard resetting for this time

if anyone hard reseted their device before, did you lose the messages?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yes, a hard-reset will wipe the phone completely to the state it was when you first took it out of the box. You can backup contacts and text messages via several different methods, the easiest would probably be to just use the built-in MyPhone app, it saves all your stuff to a server in the cloud, where you can view it online, and restore it to your phone after the hard-reset. And, it's free.

As for the error you're getting with the camera, I honestly don't know if there's any fixes available other than a hard-reset, but other members may know of one.

About my contribution

Here I am as I promised ... what it goes on the fact is that I do not like a great deal of plays and even I forget that the HD2 has a folder with two or three but ... I was seeing the movie in the Youtube and also because I read here seem to me a very interesting project but for whom it interest him for plays ... what is not my case. Anyway I ask that they help you in this project and that you could present in your theory a final and deserving product of being in the podium of the best plays and ... with a stamp 'tuga' =Português

Regards and good luck :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Thanks for comming

Thanks for comming ^^.

I understand that not everybody is crazy about videogames. And i also understand that many people aren't into Location Based Gaming. Nevertheless i thank you for taking the time to read and see my project. I hope others will find it as interesting as you !

I am now finishing the writing of my thesis! In a month or so it should be done, although i wish to carry on with the development of this project.

Kudos, and once again, thanks for showing up ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MAMeingast:
First of all: I LOVE THIS CONCEPT! :D

Second: I will definitely test this game as soon as I get around to it and provide you with some feedback.

Third: Do you have any plans to implement a multiplayer version? It would be too cool if you could work together with others building defenses, supporting each other... :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Shum97:
Looks interesting, will test it when i finish work;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
I love the idea behind this game and I am currently transferring it to my phone to try it out :) I will edit this post when/if I got something constructive to say ;)

EDIT: apparently I preffered to make a whole new post?

my excuse must be that this post was not visible when I created the other...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
Here are my observations after a couple of games:

First of all as you kind of mentioned, if you press the exit button in the main menu, you will not be able to start the game itself until a softreset have been made.

Secondly the game crashes for me, and gives me an error after about half a minute of playtime.

Third, in the place where i live it is hard to place bunkers as they are too big (even though the form of the bunker would fit fine :) ).

I would recommend you to make the bunkers a bit smaller.

Recommendations:

Put a price on the buttons for the bunkers so that i know how much they cost.

When i have to place the towers let is be so that when i press a button and then press somewhere on the map, and i keep it pressed, i will be able to more precisely plant the tower, by moving my finger around the screen, and let go when i want to place the tower.

It would be much appreciated if you made it so that you could choose where to play directly from the game :) And maybe also how zoomed out it should be, as i myself would love to play in for example famous places :P
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Greetings ^^

Re First: Glad you love it ^^. Really. This concept is somewhat new and not many people like location based games. I would like to know what is your oppinion about location based games in general and why aren't they that much played/developed.

Re Sec : Take your time, i am open to all your doubts and suggestions ^^.

Re Third: You know, you aren't the first to make that suggestion? I'm really considering looking into it, although i thought it would be easier to create a multiplayer where you could opt to spend money buying defensive structures or buying offensive units to attack your foe. That way you could play against anybody anywhere. What do you think?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Hoping to hear from you mate ! Glad it caught your interest. Will probably post another video (showing the website and the load game feature). I need to film the game working as well, when the player is moving and the likes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Cheers!

Really enjoyed your analysis. Exactly the kind of feedback i expected!

First : Yes, i kinda am in the process of finding why the heck that is happening. Since i use a different thread to load location data while the game is loading that probably is the culprit. I will check that out as it is a real deal breaker.

Second: When the game crashes do you see any pattern of why it crashes? It used to have a mem leak but it should be corrected some iterations ago. I will try to further test and debug the app as well!

Third: Unfortunatly this is a known issue. Most location based games have a serious issue with some locations. The solution to this is, either we scale down the size of the towers, or we add the option to zoom the map (in the settings for an instance). The default zoom is 18 (used to be 17) because in some situation more than that proved to be excessive.

On with the suggestions

First: True, i didn't include the price on the button. Honestly i haven't done it yet cause the graphics aren't final. But it's true that i should consider something like that in the following versions.

Second: Tower placement is still an issue, yes it is. Your solution seems to be great! The tower will follow your finger while it moves and is only placed when you lift it. That does solve the tower placement issue.

Third: Well, this is supposedly where the load game feature comes in. It allows you to play any game you previously created. It also allows you to keep track of your scores of each of those created games. It is a finished feature and i'm only looking for a place to host the DB the webservice server and the website. Of course i only created the load game feature because it was kinda required. I agree that specifying the place where you'd like to play your game (via text box or so) is probably the way to go! I will definetly try to add that :D

Well, that about covers it! Glad you took time to play it and to come up with some neat ideas! Will definetly add them to the main post! I will try to add if not all, some ideas and correct some bugs you pointed out ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
I have chosen to actually read the errors I get and since I do not get much knowledge out of them I though that you might would ;) I have attached the errors I have had so far (3 different errors in total) and hope that this is usable to you :)

A little wordlist so you know what it says regarding the words:

"ved" = "by" or "at"

"undtagelseskode" = "exception code"

"undtagelsesadresse" = "exception adress"

"læser" = "reader"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ei05035:
Hm, seems that the mem leaks are back. Although i am pretty sure were i messed up. The thing is that i tested a mem leak free version of the game and then i changed some stuff that i thought wouldn't affect the game. Guess i was wrong xD. Will look into it. By sunday or monday i will have a new version, with some bugs corrected and hopefully some new features. I am still writting the thesis and its due to the end of this month, so time isn't really on my side for it. But this project will be continued after that ^^. Thanks for the heads up mate!
