I love my HD2 it is absolutly the best phone i have ever owned I have customized it to my every need thanks to xda-developers...

so go buy one, the iphone will bore you in a month
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
It depends on the high and angle you drop it at, but the general consensus seems to be don't drop your phone. There was a thread where they dropped it from a couch and it broke. I've seen a thread where it broke from some guy getting out of a car (phone was in his lap) and it fell on concrete and broke. A lot of people have cracked their phone and have lambasted to HTC for having such a weak screen.

GPS: Bing has free turn-by-turn directions also.
[HD2 General] stoolzo:
Hi, not sure it would be a good idea signing up to a long contract at this point when there will be new phones coming a long soon, however the HD2 is probably going to be the last and greatest winmo6 handset available. If winmo6 is your thing then you have to get this Phone.
[HD2 General] Fif23:
Well guys thanks to this forum I finally purchased my T-Mobile HD2.

Just pulled it out of the box, and i'm puzzled.

If anyone could direct me to reading materials on Sim Freeing it, adding different language keyboards, etc, i would appreciate it.

(or is everything on the sticky ? )

thanks !
[HD2 General] malias4:
enjoy it then, my advice is keep it stock for a while and then start modifiying it.. search the forum and u find everythin :p

welcome :)
[HD2 General] Fif23:
Well I'll try.

It's just that I don't want to store stuff on it (contacts, data) when I know a new ROM would delete everything so I want to get this over with now :)

How do I SIM Unlock it btw ?
[HD2 General] stoolzo:
getting Hard SPL on and then flashing a cooked ROM should unlock the device for any SIM I believe.

Just a question... What Tuto did you use for it ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Swiftwork:
Tuto=tutorial?

In that case not anyone really. Searched on Google, checked phelox (correct?) guide, used already learnt After effects and PhotoShop skills. Imagination is also the key to success.

Thanks for feedback.

But i thought that bootscreen on 2.1 was different to make than on 1.5 because i wanna try to make one...

However i haven't try yours for the moment maybe after

Do you know if Feeyo will take it as standard bootscreen for upcoming roms?

Creating update.zip right now. Feeyo has shown great interest when I sent him a pm about it, but he has not said anything about making it standard. But I do hope so.

Custom themes will be made to match boot as soon as official release.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Feeyo:
Ofc. it will be the main bootscreen for the next rom :)

Its an awesome animation! And love that you have put a loading bar init.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TesseractE:
Would manual focus be possible to accomplish? I've had a few situations where I wanted to frame a photo with the subject off-center, but focusing on that subject and blurring the background is a tough trick.

I saw a suggestion in the Diamond forum for a method where you'd touch the screen to select the focal point, but I'd be happy with a simple mod to the capacitive 'zoom wheel' that would change the virtual focal length.

Any thoughts?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] patrick_spd4u:
First, focus on the object (it must be on the center of the screen), then, touch (don't press) the Shutter button (action button) until the focus locked, don't release it, then, move your Raphael to your desired position (subject off-center), and finally press the Shutter button, the camera will not trying to auto-focus anymore.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TesseractE:
Ah, clever trick! I didn't realise that it would hold the focus until you removed your finger from the button.

Thanks much... I'll give this a try. ^^d

Edit: Worked fantastically. I'll upload the pics when I get the chance.

I'm considering a N1 but from what I heard from reviews, it doesn't support multi-touch out of the box (stock)

What are the necessary things to do to enable multi-touch?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Supports pinch to zoom and other similar gestures, not multi-touch. Yes, it is out of the box.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
it DOES support multi touch out of the box. just search. pinch to zoom, web browser, pictures, etc all works just perfect. it just cant do 3 points or more.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctbear:
Alright...so two-finger gestures are available out of the box

How above pinch and pan in Google maps? Or just pinch to zoom is supported?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Flawlessly is a stretch, but yes it works for basic tasks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentMobius:
Yeah, the implementation in google maps is sub-par. it always scales from the center of the screen not the median pinch point. This is much more obvious in Froyo due to the nice fade between map zoom levels (finally!) The browser implementation is good though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
can you explain this more? i'm not sure i understand.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
The action of pinch to zoom creates a "center point". Move close to the center point and it zooms out, move further away and it zooms in.

Up until recently the coding for pinch to zoom always put the center point in the center of the screen, regardless of where your started the pinch action.

This creates a little bit of a mental disjoin. The latest coded for mutli touch in android addresses it and puts the center point in between the two input points.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryce2010:
Agreed. Sometimes it does work flawlessly, other times not so much...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anstosa:
In Froyo the center-point is between your fingers and not in the middle of the screen and it feels much more natural. In addition the "Pinch-to-pan" API has been added to the 2.2 SDK which allows the iPad-like maps natigation that I think the OP is referring to. I would be surprised if that wasn't in maps for the official Froyo drop.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
You won't tell the difference.

People just like to complain a lot. I'm playing several games from Gameloft which have joystick/buttons on the same axis on the screen, and it works 100%.

Pinch to zoom is not on the same axes (usually), so it's irrelevant.

Don't even worry about it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Ah okay, missed the panning part.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentMobius:
Not quite right. The currently available froyo build does scale the current map image based on the center of your pinch point _but_ as soon as you release it "re-applies" the zoom you just requested as if you was performed at the center of the screen. Though this may be a side effect of having no pan-while-pinch in maps.

Though I agree that it may be corrected for the official Froyo release
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorin.bute:
Pinch to zoom and pan is implemented in the gallery in froyo. But that's the only place. Its not great, no where near as on the iPhone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctbear:
Agree. And that's the one and only one reason I'm also considering iPhone4 :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leeevans:
Hi guys - sorry to hijack this thread slightly

I've just got a HTC Desire which I'm really happy with but the inability to zoom in properly in google maps is really doing my head in

I'd made a post to the official google help forum for maps but haven't got a response.

From your posts can does this mean this is an underlying deficiency within Android, rather than the Maps app?

The current behaviour is that during the action of zoom, the screen does correctly pan to the centre point of my pinch action (which would suggest to me it is capable of following where I want to be) However, as soon as you take your fingers off the map re-draws based on the original centre point. It makes maps practically unusable as you constantly have to re-centre the screen, and unless you're absolutely spot on anything but a gradual zoom throws you completely off where you thought you were. In fact it would be better if it didn't follow your finger point at all and simply zoomed in to the centre like the buttons do - at least you'd be able to follow it.

Obviously there's nothing I can do about it but I just wanted to clarify if this is something that might get fixed in another maps build or an underlying deficiency in the Android hardware or APIs. (I've got another 8 days in which I can take the phone back)

Seems that you're all taking about 2.2 builds having this behaviour but as a stock HTC Desire user I'm on 2.1 and have the same experience so it doesn't seem like any improvement from the new android

Thanks

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
im on stock froyo frf91 and youre right on point about pinch in google maps, its unbearable. Especially compared to the stupid f*****g iphone. Its a google os yet its maps app works horrible compared to google maps on the iphone. If you pinch less than half way, it just bounces back out to where you started, hysterically cheap. And everytime i pinch further it just keeps zooming to a different point, then of course it has to load a new image. If you notice, it never stays at the zoom level its on when you remove your fingers, it changes a lot. Its really bad ive complained before but i thought i was the only one.

I guess with just a couple people noticing how bad it is we shouldnt be holding our breath for improvement. But yeah its pretty surprising after using the iphone, you'd certainly think google would be more interested in making google maps a really smooth, solid, reliable application since its one of the most popular if not the most popular application. My iphone-owning friend used it the other day during a trip and completely gave up and we used his old ass iphone 3g it was drastically more smooth and enjoyable than my superphone
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximReapage:
Back on original topic - N1 has dual-touch, not true multi-touch. This is pretty much irrelevant except for a few key points:

1) Palm rejection is not as good (you have to be a bit careful how you hold the device or it will use your palm as an input)

2) You can't use more than two fingers

3) "Axis snapping" - coordinates are reported separately as 2 X's and 2 Y's. Since there is ALWAYS a delay between the first and second finger press - even if it's only a few milliseconds - the phone can simply "pair" the coordinates on touch. However, if you cross the X or Y axis of the other input, you have a 50% chance of the phone mixing them up.

I've never run into problems 2 or 3, personally, and I DO game quite a bit on my phone. 1 is a simple adjustment issue, and the way you need to hold it comes naturally after a couple of weeks of use.

Take a look at this link

The GPU has been overclocked to 200 MHZ result from stock 25 fps to 36.5...

The desire(+-27FPS neocore) has the AMD Z430 GPU wich is also on the acer Liquid running at much higher 34,6 FPS @ the same resolution 800x480 but UC cpu768 MHZ although it still preforms much higher on neocore !

I'm sure that some of you developers with the knowledge are prepared figuring this out to get the desire GPU preforming better !..

I don't have much experience with kernel developing, I'm just a stupid java dev. lol

But I'd like to see this added to the 2.6.32.9 kernels, and since we would be able to

change the clock frequency somewhere in /sys/module/clock/, something like a "SetGPU" would be a nice project to do. :)

[Desire Android Development] coolbho3000:
I've looked into this. The GPU's clock is currently based on ebi1 and it's locked with no divider, from what I understand. But it is probably possible to change that.

I'm looking into the Liquid kernel source to see what's different, but I have not looked into this issue in depth at all. I doubt they're running it at a higher clock speed.

edit: meh... the download on Acer's site is corrupted.

edit: we could find some way to modify the grp_clk, that's what they are doing.
[Desire Android Development] godfatherd:
Dear coolbho3000,

Thanks for looking at this topic!!

personally I have really much confidence in you!!
[Desire Android Development] fstluxe:
Guys,

See it like this: If we are able to overclock that means that we we also Could UNDERCLOCK!! in conditions that a fast gpu not needed! this also means It can save some battery! and when you need the performance you can simply Overclock it so we just need some smart one that knows how to manipulate the

grp_clk in the kernel..,and then making an app for editing the sys/module/clock_7x00/parameters/gpu for simply editing Freq!! :)

correct me if I'm wrong..
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
That's the plan. I'm just wondering how far coolbho3000 has gotten in terms of changing the grp_clk variable in the kernel. Then again I'm wondering how we're gonna be able to change the frequency (/sys/module/clock/? Hexadecimal values? Etc.)

And then again, I'm wondering if coolbho3000 wants to write the app himself instead of me.

@coolbho, if you have made some progress, feel free to contact me.

i think lag is caused by sense bad programing. like sense contacts. try to scroll down and the last couple of contacts will lag. same thing with the sense launcher(last couple of programs will stuter)
[Desire Android Development] zlivan:
So true, and the worst app is Messaging. Scrolling through a message thread is painfully choppy. Wherever you can see those rounded text boxes it gets like that. Bad programming at its finest.
[Desire Android Development] M4cr0s:
The messaging apps lag is kind of interesting. The 3rd party messaging apps such as Handcent and ChompSMS improves scrolling with many messages by adding a button "see older/see more" messages. The stock HTC app don't, it loads everything. I dunno if that's necessarily down to bad coding as the amount of messages clearly play a role. Regardless, with 12k + messages like I have, the HTC messaging app is kind of useless ;) Contacts though, is smooth and not laggy at all. I only have some 300 contacts though.

Mac
[Desire Android Development] zlivan:
It has to be. I have maybe 300 messages and my guess is that it lags just the same. It doesn't matter if a conversation thread has only two or three messages, it scrolls just as bad as the ones with much more.

It has to do something with those custom rounded lists/boxes. Same goes for Peep. When you get to the point in the list where date changes and you see those rounded edges - it gets slightly choppy. There must be some unnecessary redrawing or whatever going on.

Or, try putting a dozen of contacts into Favorites and scroll that ;) That's a short list and it scrolls like crap. Bad coding for sure :)

Edit: And what really bothers me is that someone put such lousy implentation straight to production instead of finding a better solution...
[Desire Android Development] Daelyn:
Basically we're screwed :/
