yup, mine will occasionally do it too. It almost sounds like there is slack in there and whenever it starts up it slaps against something. Mine doesn't seem to be getting worse so I'm not to worried about it but I definitely notice it when it does happen.
[EVO 4G General] jstone5243:
Sounds about right to me it don't happen all the time so I just assumed it worked similar to a ps3 controller? Prob not but I have noticed but not been bothered by this
[EVO 4G General] Jeremiah239:
I the same problem when I'm typing or when I hit one of the botom buttons (home, back, ect...). I noticed it about 3-4 weeks after I got my EVO but everything works fine other then the noise and I hope it stays that way. HW0003
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
This has been happening to mine since the start. HW0003 right now, but it was also happening on my HW0002 phone that I returned.

I heard it the most with the camera app and recovery menu.

My motor is getting weaker. I barely feel it anymore, too. But oh well, I could barely feel it in the first place on either of them and the sound doesn't bug me like it did on my iphone.
[EVO 4G General] craig198:
yeah mine made that clicking noise. turned out its the focusing mechanism on my 8mp camera. all of you who had this clicking do you have blurry photos?
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Good photos, but I do hear it ask the time I the htc camera app.
[EVO 4G General] bron019:
Yeap it bothers the crap out of me but it seems to be going away
[EVO 4G General] craig198:
yeah mine sometimes gets stuck in what I call blurry mode. almost like the focus mechanism cant move full range. weird as I rebooted and now its fine.

oh does anyone know of an app that can initialize the camera like when the phone boots up? as that seems to remedy my blurry photos and I dont feel like restarting everytime it happens.
[EVO 4G General] oskinosmee:
I believe this issue can be the motor going as my vibe works sometimes and doesnt at others.
[EVO 4G General] chjade84:
Yup, mine sounds like it has rattled itself loose after a couple months. I've gotten used to it though as it doesn't appear to be getting worse.
[EVO 4G General] Phederico:
I did notice this....but I did a little investigating while it was occurring and I realized it was the plastic back cover. To confirm I pulled the cover off, and typed as usual...noise gone.. Put the cover back on...left it a little loose and noise is back...I pushed down where all the locks are and then tried again, noise gone. I'd like to see if anyone else can confirm that this elminates the clicking noise when the feedback vibe comes on.
[EVO 4G General] martonikaj:
I'm having the EXACT same issue and was about to make a new post and found this older thread. Mine's been doing it for over a month and I started to think that this isn't the same as my first Evo was (this is a refurb after a replacement of my first). It is quite loud in quiet rooms and is very annoying to hear when I type.

I'm going to try to do the battery door thing, and if that doesn't work I'll be taking it in for repair.

Do you think this is something that can be physically repaired without replacing the whole phone?
[EVO 4G General] OneEyedWilly:
My Evo does this too. If I shake it side to side it kind of goes away but it always comes back. I've thought about getting it repaired since it seems the vibration is getting weaker. Only does it when the vibration is light. Any fixes?
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
Yeah I had the same issue drove me f-ing crazy but my vibrate stopped working "T5" if you know what I mean.
[EVO 4G General] OneEyedWilly:
Any tutorials on how to get to the motor? I'm assuming it has maybe become slightly dislodged from It's setting is why it makes that click every now and then.
[EVO 4G General] martonikaj:
Removed the battery cover and nothing. Still doesnt do anything different. Gonna go into the sprint store this next week and see what they say.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mkisner:
OK... I was flashing the Energy cookie rom and everything seemed to be going smoothly... The computer said "congratulations your phone has been blah blah blah" and the phone restarted displaying the "TOUCHpro2" logo... then it stayed there for hours.

I've done soft reset, hard reset... still nothing.

I ready somewhere else to flash the phone via the sdcard, I'm trying to do that now but can't figure out how.

I downloaded the rom and copied the RHODIMG.nbh to the sd card, then I did a soft reset on phone and held vol down key, this takes me to the red, green, blue screen and it says "serial" at the bottom in the white part.

other instructions say to follow the on screen instructions.. but there are none...

ANY SUGGESTIONS?!?!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
What carrier do you use ? What model number is your phone, e.g. RHOD100, RHOD300, RHOD500 ?

It sounds like you have flashed a CDMA ROM to a GSM phone, or vice versa.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mkisner:
I'm using uscellular its a cdma phone, and I'm sure that I've downloaded a cdma rom...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mkisner:
I have an HTC TP2, not sure what the model number is. Along with the "Loading..." displayed between the two red/green/blue screens it also says "No Image File!" not sure if that has anything else to do with it. Now that I look at the rom that I downloaded, I may have downloaded it from the gsm thread by mistake.. and then flashed it, so did I like perm screw my phone or what..? i've even gone back and tried to flash via SD card with a previous rom that was on the phone before flashing this one and still nothing happening..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] M_T_M:
I guess you did Hard SPL your phone and task29 before flashing?:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mkisner:
idk what task29 is.. but yes my phone was unlocked, I've flashed more than one rom onto it, this would make my third.. if it had worked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] M_T_M:
you said that you can see the tricolor screen, right? If so download task29 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649191 and run it like a ROM...this will wipe your phone clean...completly clean :eek:

After that...go thru your normal flash process and it should work ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mkisner:
Miracle!! I actually fixed it myself..=) while in the tricolor screen that shows "serial" on the bottom I connected usb cord and it changed to usb (didn't notice this before)...

While I was looking up Task29 I found something that said I can just flash normally from there, even though my "Windows Mobile Device Center" said that it wasn't connected it apparently was because it flashed like normal, and everything seems to be running ok now. So thats for the help...

BTW THIS ROM ROCKS...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] M_T_M:
Good! :D ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Glad you got it sorted. Sounds like you did flash a GSM ROM onto your CDMA phone. But as you found out, the solution for that is to put the phone into the bootloader, then just flash the correct (i.e. CDMA ROM). As you found, your phone will detect the computer when you plug the USB cable in, when in the bootloader.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Apostlemk:
How can i flash in windows vista or windows 7? no matter whose rom i try it won't bring up the flash utility. i"ve mainly flashed from SD card but don't have the 8gb anymore and the 16 I have it doesn't seem to want to flash from that one for some reason. anyone have any suggestions?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadDbOxEr:
I am a complete noob, and probably shouldn't have even tried rooting, but I did...I followed the directions to the T, but when I try and run the Evo-recovery after the phone reboots, I get a missing adbwinapi.dll... I have tried to reintall Evorecovery but nothing. I'm on Windows 7 if that matters. I am not sure if my phone is rooted now, or just back to factory settings... Thanks in advance!

I caved, rooted and flashed rodriguezstyle froyo rom and overclocked to 1.1gig . i like it but im looking for some other things that would be compatible with the rom. if you guys could steer me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

1. Desire Notification bar

2. trackball wake device

3, 720p video recording
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhantomRampage:
Rotating home screens + launcher like froyo = ADW Launcher/Launcher Pro

Black Status bar = requires root

Media player = nemo

Trackball wake = requires root

With all that said, you should just root your phone. HTC honors rooted phones if its the hardware thats faulty.

It's pretty hard to mess up your phone software wise, which is the only thing that voids your warranty (software screw up).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatg:
awesome!!! thank you. i like this phone more and more, really like the launcher, any idea how i can use the trackball to activate the unlock screen instead of having to press the power button?

found nemo here, its really great, better looking than the ipod app on the iphone and does photos as well.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
FlyScreen also has wake on trackball, although I honestly wish I could disable it, I think my case probably wakes the phone and it doesn't go off until the set delay time, which I have set to 2 minutes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.L.C.:
ScreenModeWidget does it too, I set it to 'awake stay' and it wakes the phone with the trackball and bypasses the lock screen

No Lock from the marketplace, can be used as an app or widget, no root required.

Disables the lockscreen and lets you use the trackball to turn on Nexus One.

As for your launcher, it's ADW.LAUNCHER that looks like 2.2

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
Hey there, thanks for reading.

I decided that I want to learn how to program apps and possibly games for WP7.

Because my holidays are almost starting, now's the time for me to do so.

I already have Visual Studio for Windows Phone up and running, and I encountered the getting started pages on the official silverlight website.

However, it kinda feels like being thrown into the deep and having to do everything in one big leap, instead of being able to start with basics and then move on in smaller steps.

Does any of you have advice for me on what would be good ways to get started? Any advice is appreciated.

I do have vast experience with PHP, but I believe that the syntax is completely different from SL.

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Ren13B:
My advice would be to learn the basics of c# first. Any previous online tutorials for c# apply to windows phone 7. There are some minor differences but the basics are the same.

Check out http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsphone7series/threads which is the official forums for Windows Phone 7 and there's a lot of good info there.

The code samples at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431744(VS.92).aspx are also worth playing around with.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Windcape:
Ideally you want to know C# for a starters. There's plenty of tutorials on MSDN or the web, but I can also recommend buying the book: Pro C# 2010 and the .NET Platform from Apress.

It's learns you the language, and also goes over XAML related technologies, and even though it's mostly WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) the core principles apply for Silverlight as well.

After you learned C#, it's time to learn Sivlerlight in dept, and by this I mean XAML, and the limitations in the .NET subset used for Silverlight.

For tools you wish to get Visual Studio 2010 Express, and Expression Blend 4. You can get the Release Candidate free for now, to try out development.

Make a note of that your computer need to support hardware-visualization to run the emulator without a incredible amount of lag!

If you're used to programming you might quickly learn Visual Studio, but Expression Blend requires a good amount of time to get used to. I'll recommend setting off a weekend where you use 2x8 hours to learn it.

You'll be using both Visual Studio and Expression Blend at the same time, C# for application-logic (ie. C# code) and Blend for design.

Designing in Blend is really simple, see for example expressionblend.png.

One of the articles I want to recommend you to read once you got into this entire XAML thing, is this article explaining how to do paging, as it's one of the core concepts, but also provides a good exercise in using Expression Blend.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] mystikal87:
Also, to get a handle of the basics, Microsoft has put together a site to encourage people to get involved with WP7 and Silverlight. The website is: http://www.microsoft.com/design/toolbox/

Its a real beginners course to all the programming one will be involved in on the WP7 platform. This won't get you very far in programming, but will teach you the absolute basics. From there you can always get assistance from the great members of XDA (me excluded) :D
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Windcape:
Pretty cool site. Now we just need them to release a free-WP7 version of Expression Blend.

The current process to get started is way to messy, but I guess they already know that :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
Allright, thanks for these replies :)

My holidays are (unofficialy) starting in three days, so I'll have plenty of time available.

Luckily my rig runs the emulator buttersmooth (I ran the unlocked WP7 rom with it, to try the OS in it's current state) so that won't be an issue.

These links should get me going in the right direction (H)

My first post on xda-developers... +_+!

Yes, as you were told C sharp learning is important so try hard to learn it then go on learning VS 2010 express and expression blend 4. I am new to WP7 dev too and like you ... am dreaming of building a good application indeed - Games are so tough and complex to build and needs teamwork I think-. I just strated leaning C# and have found a lot of good websites trough google search (Windcape compiled most of them in a useful thread you may bookmark)

However, there are a lot of ressources and books about C# and WP7 programming there in torrents world. you can search them by yourself.

Here is a small cd from lynda.com I just uploaded to demonoid.me.

Lynda Windows Phone 7 App Development

I can post links but you can search demonoid website for it.

Also, for a good intorduction to WP7DT just search google for this series : Windows Phone 7 Jump Start

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] icon_e:
Do think about the Trial Version - my version was to short - so people were complaining about it...
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] prgwhiting:
I haven't read through the replies yet so apologies if I'm repeating anything, but I've been a .Net Developer for around five years now so I feel like this is something that I can actually comment on.

I didn't train in anything to do with computers I just fell into this programming lark, I actually trained as an Actor believe it or not. Through needing to design a database in order to record my Acting Accounts I eventually got into V.B.A. and after ending up with a part time job using V.B.A. was finally forced to learn .Net through requirement changes at work.

I only mention this, so as you know that I wasn't born to this sort of thing and had to struggle to get my head round it.

I started with vb.net as that was almost the same as using v.b.a. but last year decided to teach myself C#. I've not used PHP so can't comment on any similarities or otherwise but I do know this.

C# was a huge shock to my system, absolutely huge. I almost gave up after a week of trying to translate my existing code, but managed to persevere and I'd say that after about two months of forcing myself to do C# only, I felt comfortable with it. A year later and I'm completely fluent and happy with C#.

It's a bugger to look at, I don't find it elegant at all, but once you get your head round the syntax then it all starts to make sense.

Get a good C# book, I'm not sure of any good ones, I've not used any, and go with the lessons in there, but don't let that stop you trying to develop your own experimental stuff in the meantime.

Syntax basics

Curly Brackets {} tend to indicate a routine block

E.g. A Function/Method/Void called Test would look like this

public void Test()

{

... Your code goes here

}

This is also the case with an If statement

E.g.

if(A==B)

{

... Your code goes here

}

Scoping/Dimming/Creating an object requires the Object type first followed by it's name

E.g. TextBox _textbox

The object being created is a TextBox and it's name is _textbox

A semi colon ; indicates the end of a block of code. If you have a particularly long line of code then you can use multiple lines but will

only need to insert the ; at the end of that particularly block of code

E.g. A=1; (This is the standard way of doing this)

A=

1; (This is not the way that I would actually do this but is just an example of what is permissable.)

I always found it useful to find C# code on the web and try to read and understand it.

The most important thing is though, don't give up. Visual Studio is widely considered one of the best coding tools in the industry and C# itself, once you get past the first impressions is a really easy language to pick up.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
Thanks for the detailed explanation - the use of accolades ('{}'), multiple lines and the semicolon and the syntaxt for statements looks pretty similar to PHP.

That might just be enough motivation for me to finally get started.

yes, even though I asked about advice over halve a year ago, I never got quite to it... Maybe these similarities plus the fact that I have a Microsoft Dreamspark developer account plus the fact that in March I might have a device will be of help. If that's not enough motivation, I don't know what will be :#
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] DaveShaw:
Go for it! :cool:

You can always ask questions here or on somewhere like StackOverflow.com if you get stuck.

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] gera229:
Interesting, I hope you will get something.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] _calum_:
Just adding my two cents here...

I thoroughly recommend that anyone getting into WP7 programming takes a very good look at the MVVM pattern (see here - it's WPF based but the difference is really only in the objects available, most silverlight code can be directly ported to WPF and vice versa). Using this pattern not only enables you to easily swp the UI for your app, it also makes debugging a whole lot easier due to the lack of UI code in the classes that actually do the work (the view models).

Another thing to try and get your head around is asynchronous programming with services, but that is not really something you want to start out with :p Sorry, forgot we were dealing with silverlight for a minute ;) this is something you're going to have to learn right from the start, along with using background threads for processing data.

For anyone that needs any specific advice feel free to PM me. I'm new to the WP7 thing, but looking at the classes available which aren't available in silverlight it shouldn't be too hard to get into. And the design patterns will be the same.
