ON topic, mate a lot of keyboard apps for android include a d-pad option which will let you accurately simulate a cursor/trackball.

No LED notifications is a bummer. Strange how people with iphones are not annoyed by that! Something like sms popup can be set to periodically vibrate to remind you etc. No real solution there Im afraid!

There was some dev work on getting the backlight touch buttons to blink but work seems to have hit a dead end.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldbeverage:
Ozy: thanks for the helpful reply!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozy944:

There is a dpad on the Samsung and swype keyboards. Hole the 123 key on S. And drag between the two bottom left keys in swype.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dereth:
This second link is exactly what ive been looking,

I think the LEDs at the bottom would make perfect notification lights,

Is there any more news on this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozy944:
Heh, its the ideal solution, except theres not really a solution at the moment. Drivers have now been made public (or so Im led to believe). so Im hoping to see it come along side Cyanogen Mod.

Theres an online petiotion that can be signed regarding some dev work for this. At the moment, theres like 350+ signatories....now if everyone chipped in $5 ......
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
for the D-pad just slide from the "S" sybmbol in the lowwer left of the keyboard to the "sym" key directly next to it (using swype, not the samsung keyboard). a directional pad pops up and it has backspace, backspace by full word, delete, cut, copy, paste, select all, page up, page down, home and end, and a "tab" key, though i don't know if it works like tab of if it is just a large space for starting paragraphs.

samsungs keyboard also has something similar if you hold the key to the numbers/symbols for three seconds.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManiacalShen:
Wow. Thanks! Dolphin HD, LiveJournal, and text entry don't get along so well for some reason; it never puts the cursor where I tap when I want to go back and edit text. So I'm extremely happy to hear there are arrows on the Swype keyboard! The trackpad and GPS were the only two things I was still missing from my Aria, and you just remedied the former. :D

Though now I feel silly for not figuring it out myself!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
Too be honest I only knew about it from a review I read but they didn't explain how to do it, after a few days of messing with it I found it in the swype tutorials
[HD2 General] joshoon:
Hi there :)

I have a question.

I have some festival movies on my HTC HD2, converted by Aimersoft DVD to MP4.

I tried to make it a 480x800 resolution, but it fails, it shows in verticalmode, and not in landscape mode.

So I tried a few of the other standard resolutions, those look good, but it shows a black line at the borders, so it doesn't use its fully 4,3 inch :(!

Does someone have a better alternative to convert a DVD to my HD2?

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 General] Elcs:
You say you've tried 480x800 resolution but have you tried 800x480 resolution? This might be the quickest and easiest solution for you.

If all else fails, use the program developed for the HTC HD1 called MP4HD (search the forums for it). Quick, simple, easy and effective.
[HD2 General] joshoon:
Yep, when I did 800x480, it fails.

I am going to look for the MP4HD, thanks!
[HD2 General] joshoon:
Hmm I cannot find the MP4HD, do you have a link?

[HD2 General] joshoon:
Thank you! will give it a try tomorrow, it's time to sleep for now (in my timezone then)

I hope it supports 480x800
[HD2 General] ccezar2004:
i let it do a conversion last night.. it did it... the thing is that hd2 profile crops the video to an almost 1.680 crop ration instead of 1.667... so it leaves some small black bars... i do not know if it is because of the original... but it shouldn't considering that it actualy crops the video...

a 4 GB dvd made it in almost 700 MB... the video quality isn't the best... but is good....

LE: ooh.... and it doesn't know mkv,,, at lest the audio in it...
[HD2 General] joshoon:
So, the issue with the black bars is not solved with it?
[HD2 General] ccezar2004:
I'm not sure yet.... now i'm converting another one... this time an mkv... with dts audio... and the cropped res says is 800x480... it's gonna take some time.... it was a 7 GB mkv... it's half done... when finished i'll post back...
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Try xmedia recode, its even able to convert blurays.

It has a HD2 setting option too, so no need to fiddle!
[HD2 General] joshoon:
I tried some DVD files, but it's gonna maka a different mp4 file for every VIDEO_TS.

Can't I just make 1 mp4 file for all VIDEO_TS files?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
You'll find one of them is the film, the rest are menus/special features.
[HD2 General] joshoon:
No, they are all 22/25 min, when you play one, it plays the full movie, but when you try to convert it, it only converts the 22/25 min.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Can younot select multiple files to convert at once?
[HD2 General] joshoon:
Yes, but it still makes 1 mp4 for every VIDEO_TS

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dik23:
I have read a fair bit about the power consumption of wifi against 3G. It seems that wifi uses less power on average because it's not constantly looking for a network, and the distance to transmit data is less.

However it seems that this backfires when using wifi heavily as the faster data speeds cause greater power drain.

I currently get well above 10Mb/s when using the SpeedTest.net app on the wifi and seriously doubt if I'll notice the difference day to day if I restrict it to ~2Mb/s if and there's a possibility of the battery lasting longer this would be a good idea.

What I was wondering is if I shape the traffic on my router at home to limit the bandwidth available to my phone will this cause the power usage to be less ? I think it will but I'd like some input
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
The WiFi chip on the Desire only has been measured to have two power states when enabled and Link Speed seems to have no difference to it's power requirement. The two states are LOW and HIGH, and their power draw is fairly fixed regardless of the data speed or transmission size (fluctuates very little). That's very unlike 3G.

Enabled, idle, Low state: http://bit.ly/aMzGjh

34 mW

Enabled, load, High state (6.8 Mbps): http://bit.ly/bknguK

405 mW (Link Speed 54 Mbps)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bd1308:
Let me identify my current setup:

* Unrevoked3/Unrevoked-Forever ROOT/S-OFF

* CyanogenMod 8/27 Nightly (Also had RC2)

* 2.6.32.15 Kernel

* Froyo (latest) Radio image

What I'm trying to do is startup the tether application (Wireless Tether for Root Users).

It starts up, i allowed permission to run the startup for the tether app. And tried to connect a computer to the network. It sucessfully connects, but does not get an IP address.

In the wifi-tether's log, I see one entry that says:

error: SIOCSIFFLAGS (Cannot assign requested address)

Again the su privelages work fine. I'm currently running pre8, but ive tried maybe six different versions of the application.

It seems that the DHCP server isnt running, which is odd since wifi-tether doesnt complain. I'll be able to pull logs later but i have one question: Is this a kernel-related issue, should I go back to CM6-RC1 (2.1) to solve this problem, or should I set the phone on fire?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bd1308:

the native app doesnt have bt tethering. however the wifi tether app does. people have reported using it with out problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bd1308:
So the native tethering app works perfectly. Of course bluetooth tether would be better in my case, but this is definately better than nothing.

As most of us will have noticed, removing the battery cover is kind of scary and I was wondering if there were any experts on the subject that could enlighten us on whether or not the cover pins will break off in the long run.

For all we know it could be designed to be pretty solid even though it feels frail.
[Desire General] andycted:
Had the phone for about 3 months along with 2 batteries. This led me to change battery at least once every two day which would equate to 45 openings. But I've changed rom and pulled the battery so many times that I'm sure I've opened the phone at least 100 times, probably 150, or even 200.

I've also never be too careful with the phone and its cover.

At this moment the cover seems to hold very well. The only apparent defect is that, while on, if you push quite hard the right part of the cover, in the middle part, it creaks a bit. I'm actually surprised it hasn't broke already, but I'm ready to shell 20€ to replace it if in some months it will make horrible sounds, given the ridicuolous frequency at which I pull it.

Hey, so I recently downloaded ADW.Launcher (I have the plus version of LP but it has gotten slow or sluggish) and I like it alot. Im still learning the application but had a few questions for people who use it

1. If I put my finger on the drawer button, I see an arrow that point up, if I drag up, the dock goes away..so where does it go, how do I had another dock like I think you can?

2. Is it possible to add my own icons to the dock? Like Right now I have the dock setup for 5 icons including the app drawer, but if I put a short cut on my homescreen like for gmail, and its a color icon, when I drag it to the dock, it goes there but turns gray, well it basically keeps the shape of the icon but unless u know what that icon is, just by looking at the shape there would be no way of knowing (kinda hard to explain)

Any help would be greatly appreciataed
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
2. There is a setting in ADW that turns icons in the dock grey vs. keeping them in their original color. I forget the setting, but it is in the ADW settings somewhere. ONce you see the name it's fairly obvious. I believe it's under the dock settings.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zheranon:
When you pull up the app drawer and it "disappears" thats basically another deck you can add shortcuts to. What I do is I add shortcuts to the phone's desktop and then drag them down to the very bottom until you see it kind of lights up white-ish. It should then dock that application down there.

remove world clock or desk clock and maintain alarm?

alright, after a few more seconds of research, i believe it should stay.

next question, i dont use the desk clock but sometimes i use my phone to set an alarm.

can i remove the world clock and maintain the desk clock and alarm? or can i remove the world clock and still have the desk clock and alarm functionality?

im just removing things... thank you thank you

edit: also gtalkservice. safe to remove? im figuring not.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Only way to know is to try, right? :D Nandroid first, of course. I think all the clocks are inter-related somehow on a Sense ROM, so my guess is that removing any one of the clock or alarm apk's will kinda break them all. But I've never actually tried it myself to know for 100% sure.

EDIT: I think you CAN safely remove the HTC clock widget, but why would you want to? I assume most people use the clock in its widget form on a home screen.

Many times when you try to remove Google things from your phone (ones that were already included with a ROM like gtalk), your access/login to the Market can break. Not always, but it does happen enough that most people typically don't mess with the included Google stuff.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
