[Nexus One Android Development] Eddiemc:
I seldom use the search function on my n1 (quick press search button), compared to my shortcut (long press search button).

I'd love to have the function on the button flipped, so that only when I long press search I get to search, but simply quick pressing it brings me to quickdesk (my shortcut)

There has got to be others interested in this, but I can't find any solution on how to solve it..

Can somebody help me out?

Regards

I THINK someone looked at this before, and without having an app running actively ALL the time to remap the default single press keys, its impossible.
[Nexus One Android Development] Daneshm90:
Or i assume, editing the framework from source ? Like how wysie did it with long-press home-button. If u dont know what im referring to try cm6.
[Nexus One Android Development] Eddiemc:
The home button long press change in cm6 is really nice.

Wondering how deep in the OS/framework these changes are..

Basically the OS should register the 4 "hardware" buttons the same way, so if one can be changed, all should be able to be changed..

Also since I just wanna swap functions, there is no need for a gui/front end to control the changes or map certain programs to it.

(I wouldn't complain if cm6 got a full search button control for both short and long press though)

Sounds like something that could be baked into a cm rom if enough people was interested in it..

[Nexus One Android Development] Wysie:
It should be possible, but I took a brief look at the source and couldn't find it -_-. Will look harder next week. (Weekend's here :P)

Glad to see you all liking the home button binding change :).
[Nexus One Android Development] Flippy125:
I was actually thinking about this after seeing the MT Slide ad... All the genius button is is the search button binded to a skinned voice dialer (if it's even skinned, haven't looked into it)
[Nexus One Android Development] Eddiemc:
Massive props to you if you can pull this off!

Looking forward to some good news next week;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisizzle492:
well first of all this phone was released in europe and it had the issues of freezing and text slow down. then released in the us with THE SAME PROBLEMS.

and where is the support? customer care doesnt have anything to say but search forums while they are on the phone with u!

i am tired of not being able to use my phone in important situations and restarting it everyday!

doesnt this sound familiar?? xbox 360 red ring of death!!!!!

what happened to them. they got sued by the customers!!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Munto:

No phone is completely satisfying, just try SPB Mobile shell with some custom skins, it's nicer then WinMo layout and is easier adjustable :D widgets etc.

Regarding restarting, I don't know what your problems are, I don't have any atm
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madindehead:
Miri and dutty ROMs are stock like. PM me for a link ^^
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
I was very happy with my stock rom for months.... however after flashing I cannot deny the advantages of a custom rom.....

as for htc releasing a phone that "doesn't work" twice..... that's crazy talk, find me a product that's released completely bug free.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
Ok just as a for instance .....

Since this almost sounds like a "Hate on the HD2" thread, lets put that in perspective, the HD2 is the first of it's breed, never been a phone like it hardware wise ...

BUT Iphone OS4 was released, and I am going to post a sample, not all but enough of the BUGS in it, now these are just software bugs, and just a sample, of Confirmed BUGS ...

Installation
Installation issues on Windows machines (PCWorld)
Networking
Issues joining WPA2 protected networks (PCWorld)
Messages
Screen scrolls back and forth without user input during SMS/MMS sending
Keyboard covers portion of message body sometimes covering text while typing (especially after attaching an image)
Occasional failure to display navigation header, requires reboot to restore
Mail
Keyboard sometimes covers text while typing
In Gmail accounts, mail is archived and not deleted. No way to change to deletion instead
Sync
- backup fails in iTunes, saying iPhone has refused the request
Appearance
- Setting custom wallpapers can occasionally fail
iTunes
- Occassional failure to detect cellular network to launch store
Camera
-Considerable lag at launch

NOW this is the 4th version of this OS , on the pretty much the same hardware, and it still has bugs, where WinMo has to deal with thousands of diff hardware designs.

So , S??t happens. WinMo is not perfect, HTC is not perfect, Apple is not Perfect, Google is not perfect ...

BUT at least with WinMo you have Choices that you can try and decide what works best for you ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
ha ha! I asked for one that's bug FREE not infested.... :P
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisizzle492:
honestly the bugs that are in the iphone arent as bad as these.

cmon sms freezes my phone constantly and im a heavy texter. i know people are gonna hate me for this but iphone got the job done. i never had to restart everyday or every week.

name any other phone that had a release twice then which of them didnt try to fix the problems????

IPHONE HAS SOFTWARE UPDATES CONSTANTLY WHERE IS OURS.??.. 1-2 A YEAR REALLY?????

htc gave up
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
Not gonna defend HTC because on stuff like this they suck , but they do make more than one model of phone, on more than one hardware platform , running more than one OS, **** happens ..

The only thing I can tell you , if you do not want to use the fixes in this community, such as patches and custom ROMs, and you are not happy with the HD2, go get you a bug free phone, Iphone, or whatever and be happy...

There are lots of people that would be happy to buy your HD2 from you I am sure ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC_ROMEO:
Who buys a phone running Windows Mobile anyways.. You want to blame someone, blame T-mobile for picking such a ****ty device to be on their line up.. I was a very loyal T-mobile customer until I realized that they weren't trying to be innovative at all with their phones any more.. bringing us the HD2 with Windows.. mytouch slide with a 600mhz processor.. garminphone with 1.6 Android.. seriously..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
The why the hell are you posting in a section for a primarily Windows mobile phone???, the hardware in this device smokes just about anything out there, so unless you are just trying to start a flame war, you are posting in the wrong section ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
sms has never caused my phone to freeze and I certainly do not have to restart my phone everyday....

iphones may well get regular updates but that's just as much for apples benefit as it is for the benefit of the user.

theyve only just realized that their algorithm used to display signal strength isn't worth ****..... how many years has the iphone been out....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Ok guys Let it go long enough. No one is perfect and that includes HTC and MS.

I need help. on my HD2 i save pictures and they are not in my album. i have no idea where it saves to. please help,
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
if the camera is set to save files in your storage card, then you will find them in "\Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA".

you can set that folder as your "favorite" album, and while you're at it, you can move all your existing pictures and videos into the above mentioned folder so that you don't have to go about "finding" stuff again.
[HD2 General] babypea80:
okay, so i do i save an album as a favorite?

Also, i did a bit of research on this and it looks like other people are having the same problem. I found a forum that was posted a few months with a person who actually figured out how to save them . Here is the link to that forum.--

It was very helpful to me. I hope its just as helpful to others.

Hi

Would it be possible to make that? Recording with the possibility to pause and then resume instead of "stop"... :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coreyhelton:
I'm not sure I see the benefit? With record and stop you can make clips that can easily be sewn together with basic video software.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
but thats an extra step which would simplified immensely by the ability to pause
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonnib4:
I don't see the benefit...

Record/Stop Record/Stop

or

Record/Pause Resume/Stop

is the same...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graveghoul:
I get what you're saying and agree. It would be like a real camcorder. And you wouldn't have to edit later cause it would all be part of 1 clip rather than several separate ones. If you can find a way for my N1 to do this (which im perfectly sure it's capable of)it would enhance the N1 experience that much more!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogiedogie:
+1 for need, recording tennis etc so helpful to be able to pause between fail rallys instead of making 30 vids.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gilg@mesh:
I don't know how you CAN'T see the benefits... it's a GOLD feature to be able to pause and then resume... when you STOP you need to record a new clip...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User X:
Is this feature available in any android camera apps? Please let me know if it is. Sorry for bumping the old thread, been looking for such an app for a while. It is quite a failure from google not to incorporate this in android standard app - even a 10-year old nokia can do it!

I want to use my EVO 4G as the GPS receiver to my netbook.

I have a windows 7 netbook with bluetooth.

If I can have my netbook communicate with the netbook via bluetooth for GPS signal will be the best solution. If it has to be done via USB, I can live with that as well.

thanks.

Please let me know

Am I the only one who wants to extend the GPS capabilities on the phone to be used with a netbook?
[EVO 4G General] lostinroot:):

I wonder if there is any way to out put the gps coordinates from the phone using logcat while using a gps monitor from the market , just a thought.

If we could have a monitoring program on the laptop selectively import the coordinates from the phone and send them to Microsoft street program on the pc. That would be pimp.

Im going to see what I can do when I get home from work here.

Thats the precise reason for wanting to "tether" my Evo as a GPS receiver.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] effluent:
Was running along nicely on DC 3.2.3 last night. Decided oh gotta try the kernel to up the fps! It was freezing up within a couple minutes and causing a lot of fc's. No prob flash the regular DC kernel everything is fine. Decided it would be good to do Whitslack's start over method, probably should at some point, and then maybe give that custom kernel another shot and might work better. So waited until this morning to do it, looked quick and easy. Except when PCIMG ran on step 5 for recovery, got a 'pu fail'. Dl'd ROM Manager and tried to flash Clockwork..no go it said there was an error. Did get some suggestions in a few threads but nothing works. Tried the method to get recovery going via fastboot and terminal and not working. On fastboot I'm not seeing anything regarding devices(don't have the quoted instructions in front of me lost the thread). So basically I'm stuck and have no recovery so can't do anything. No fun having a phone like it's just out of the box. Also seems along the way I lost su privileges. Pretty new at all this so not sure what to do from here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharkUW:
This is a common problem. Redo step 2 of Toast's method to get yourself a working recovery again. Then delete the recovery image from the PC36IMG.zip using winrar or another app that allows zip storage w/o compression. For winrar just open up the PC36IMG..zip and delete "recovery-RA...". Then flash that new PC36IMG.zip as well as the SU app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] effluent:
Think someone else said since I'm updated to the new RUU via the new PCIMG I can no longer do toast's method?.. Just want to clarify before I go off doing something.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jykinturah:
Try this if you have access to fastboot.

Get the recovery.img from Toast's Part 2 Root Method. Put it in your Android SDK tools folder.

Go into fastboot (it is in the bootloader. Make sure you rename/remove PC36IMG.zip). Connect your phone to your computer by USB.

In Windows command prompt, navigate to your Android SDK tools folder. Check to make sure your phone is connected by typing:

fastboot devices

Then type in:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I think some people have some odd corrupted byte or something in their recovery partition. Amon_RA mentions it. No clue why though.

I was at the HTC launch event for the Aria this week in Chicago, and one of HTC's representatives discussed the future release of clear battery doors for the Aria in order to show off the phone's yellow interior. These would be produced by HTC.

I would love the same for the EVO. Has anyone seen one?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sirchuk:
There aren't any as of yet. It's been suggested, but nobody makes one. You can buy any kind of battery door at the moment.

I suggest getting a clear case and removing the battery cover and putting on the case instead.

There's another thread here about the battery cover and someone said a site is working on making their own but no ETA.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jasongthang:
It's funny how they try to "bling" up phones. When I was reading all the reviews for the evo before it was released, they were talking about the "ferrari red" battery and compartment. Now a clear case to show off the battery and compartment. I'd buy one. But I have a case on my phone so it wouldnt do much good.

good idea though, definitely.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wrxlvr:
I looked into having some made. 10k for a mold. :o Price per piece wasn't bad, but that initial investment is a killer.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sirchuk:
Huh, I wonder what the wife will think when I bring it up.

I just picked up a clear case off ebay for $6 shipped, I'll remove the battery cover and take a picture of it when it gets here next week.

i bought the Azmer clear hardcase:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003M2Y4D2/ref=oss_product

Took off the back cover from my phone and joined the front and back together for the hard case.

Voila, clear back cover.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kpoz:
Not a bad idea, but I'm assuming that most of us in this thread don't want to add any extra bulk to the phone, hence the idea of a clear battery door.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sirchuk:
Yeah, not the same. Having a case adds additional bulk. I'm doing the same thing, but only until I can get an actual clear battery cover.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
Not sure what extra bulk you're talking about, but okay. The thing is 3millimeters thick. I'm not too worried about adding 3millimeters.

But, whatever you think. I'm getting a hard case and not having a back cover. Phone protected and it looks kind of cool.

This looks really cool. Glad someone has put in the time to do something like this. Great.

What are you thinking as far a color options? I would like one that is Carolina Blue (Huge Tar Heel fan). I have an Amzer Argyle case and I think it would look sick with a Carolina Blue battery door behind it. Would you color match it to something? Or if I gave you the Pantone number (Pantone 278) could you use that for the color match?

Thanks and again, fantastic job.
[EVO 4G Accessories] joey3002:
Just got the latest door off the machine.. cleaned it up.. It was a very rough exterior prototype.. Anyway, All of the clips fit perfect and lock the phone down. 1 VERY minor tweak and i will be re-running tonight. The bottom of the phone, the lump by the charging port, did not line up correctly, it was shifted to the left instead of in the middle. That is being fixed right now and I will be printing 3 prototypes in the original clear material you first saw.. Once they are done, its to the molders!!
