I remember seeing this app somewhere, but now that I have a need for it, I can't find it! Can anybody help me out?

It allowed you to have two profiles, one for you and one for anyone else who happened to use your phone. If someone messes up the lockscreen code, it would allow them to use the phone, just not have access to certain apps, files, etc.

You guys know what app I'm talking about?
[XPERIA X10 General] gupta.anurag08:
Hi guys..the above prob does not happen when during the call i use the slide dialpad..at that time screen gets locked!!

Is any settings that i have to change?
[XPERIA X10 General] RumpleStealthSkin:
It keeps your face from inadvertently pressing the cancel/end call button. To unlock screen during call, double tap screen.
[XPERIA X10 General] gupta.anurag08:
But when i dont use the slide dialpad the proximity sensor doesnt work..thats the problem..
[XPERIA X10 General] gupta.anurag08:
Any experts here..please help/suggest..currently i always use the slide dialpad to avoid touching my cheeks with the end call button screen..
[XPERIA X10 General] gupta.anurag08:
Anyone plz help on this..its a big problem

2/3 times my cheeks press the end call button :'(
[XPERIA X10 General] RumpleStealthSkin:
Check the Android Dev section of this forum you might find some answers there... or...

Try flashing your phone again.

I'm not an expert so that's all I can tell you. Maybe others have better solutions.
[XPERIA X10 General] gupta.anurag08:
I read other threads too..some guy is doing some kind of a experimnt..

Can u confirm if u r facing the same issue or not?
[XPERIA X10 General] johndub71:
Got a task killer? If so, remove it and see what it does. Had something similar happen.
[XPERIA X10 General] JamesBarnes:
First step is to see if your proximity sensor works at all...

Go to the lock screen and press:

Menu Back Menu Back Back Menu Back Menu Menu Back

Find the proximity sensor test and press your finger against the phone just above the screen.

I'm having trouble cooking a dialer into the rom I'm using. The kitchen I'm using is Yozgatg's kitchen. I've tried using the supplied Diamond dialer, and also PhoneCanvas_Slider_3_50_33348_0. After flashing the dialer look's like it does in the attached screen. Any help would be appreciated :)
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
You're either "_skip" ing the package somehow, or maybe the video call package isnt selected when you're cooking ? You need that if that dialer supports video calling.

I used the following link to roll my Sprint HTC Hero back to .5. I pulled the RUU from the link ending with 694572. I couldn't post the link do to restrictions. It's gotten to about 74% and hasn't moved in quite some time. Have I bricked my phone or is their still a way I can recover?

I've left the phone alone and still connected via USB but it hasn't moved any further then 74% in about 45 minutes now. Anyone got any guidance on this? Has anyone seen this?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
You could try re-running the RUU from your PC with the phone stuck like that (if you're able to). Sometimes that has fixed people's problems like this.

"Error[120]: LOW BATTERY POWER

OK.. I tried again with a fully charged phone and No Good! Now I'm getting a totally different error. Has anyone come across this type of error?

unless you don't talk much, then do some research on the apps that require permissions to use voice calls.

[HD2 General] Ryan79:
I would suggest reading the guide in this section

(5th thread from the top, named [TUT] Flashing your First GSM USA 1024LEO ONLY!! (For Noobs) - I would post the link but being a noob to the forums myself, I can't post links yet :p)

It talks all about what you need to do inorder to be able to flash a ROM on your phone.

As for Android.... there is no Android ROM for the HD2 per-say... it's actually a very basic WM ROM with the loader built in, points to the Android files that you should have on your MicroSD... and then boots into Android. If you plan on ONLY running Android on the phone... I would suggest one like Energy from NRG.... his standard TMOUS ROMs have the Android loader cooked in, and he has an "Android ROM" if you want to go that route.

Been running his 8/25 - 23569 build, been working great... real clean and FAST, and has the Android loader built in, so I get my Android fix when I want it ;)
[HD2 General] oshizzle1991:
you can load an android rom on a stock winmo rom, it just wont work as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Howdy!

A week ago I switched to this lovely device. I almost can't remember how I ever survived without it.. ;) In any case, I'm very satisfied, as it's a huge upgrade from my previous SE X1.

Now, I've been heavily involved in the X1 modding community, so I know my way around WM. For the HD2 some things appear to be different, so I'd like some help!

FYI I'm using NRGZ's Energyroms; currently using the 18-08 build (winmo 6.5 with cookie hometab sense UI). Probably upgrading to 25-08 soon.

First of all, I'm trying to set one of the hardkeys to rotate the screen for me. For the X1 there was a specific app, doesn't work on the HD2. Thus, I tried the well-known AEB Plus. Alas, whenever I map a key with it, the app automatically maps every hardkey to that function (it got really funky when I tried to change my volume, my screen kept rotating like crazy).

So, which app/workaround best to use for the HD2?

Second, I'm noticing quite some battery drainage. I've flashed a different radio to ensure that Android would run properly as well (and it does, yaay!); but I'm not sure which ROM works best when it comes to battery life. I've been poking around the Radio ROM thread, but haven't yet found a conclusive answer. Did anyone do some testing? Any reliable results?

Finally, I'm noticing that movie files often still play a bit choppy. Now I know it's very much possible to run them completely smooth with the snapdragon's power. I've tried Projection's HD video encoder, but that came out even worse (or at least played worse, with both WM player and TCPMP). Which format works best for the HD2? Can you guys advise me a freeware converter?

I'm sorry for the long post, but thanks ever so much for taking the time to read this far. Cheers!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilwilwel:
Hi there,

For the first question i have no clue havent tried that before

for Andriod i know tthat your ROM has to be 2.08.x or higher i used 2.10.50.26 wich worked pretty well. There are some new Android builds with less power drainage but still the consumption is a lil high

for the last part i havent found that out yet
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whynot66:
Ok, in the energy rom press and hold the call key to rotate screen, as for battery drainage in android it a work in progress I use shubCRAFT latest build battery is quite good about 55 mins per hour in standby l. I use the 2.11 radio and energy cookie rom.

Don't know if it makes and difference but I put Wm in aeroplane mode and disable sencse before I boot android.

Get on the shubCRAFT forum and install his build its rapid and is almost perfect

Thanks for the answer, both of you.

I guess I'll try and upgrade to a later android build, see how it works. Could you give me a link to a good android build? The one you experience to be most solid?

As for the radio, I'll upgrade to the newest and give it a go, I guess the best way to find out is to simply try it.

The energy ROM thing doesn't work for me, I'll upgrade it to the latest. Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whynot66:
Just type shubcraft straight into Google I find thus the most stable, will get an update soon aswell I think :-)
[Vibrant General] raduque:
So I noticed that the Vibrant has a /data_tmo mounted to /dev/block/mmcblk0p3. It's 255mb with only 72mb used, and it's where the Sims3 lives. Seems like an awful waste of space to me.

Any way to get this space back?
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
Not really. You could bind mount something to that, but it's probably not worth the effort. mmcblk0 is the internal 16GB flash, so you do waste some space there, but it's so small compared to the total.... TMobile probably did that to have some extra space for future use.

At some point, hopefully we can do custom partitions like we did on the G1. Then you can allocate things however you like. Right now, the bootloader gets mad if you mess up the partitions. :D

What Camera App is Better than the Stock One? :cool:

[Hero CDMA General] omair2005:
camera360 is my personal fav
[Hero CDMA General] Nannuq:
I have tried both vignette and camera 360 both are great apps i like the interface of camera 360 more myself and went with that one. It takes amazing pictures. The difference from the stock camera in CM6 and camera360 is night and day even though the hardware is the same.

The stock camera always produced blurry photos which is why i started looking for something better and i found it. I use my phone as my job-site camera, my internet access, and of course my phone. once i switched to camera360 my project manager jokingly said he could see the ants crawling up the building from 100 ft away.

Test them both out though your preferences may be different. you can always return the one you don't like.

BTW loving CM6 for hero. It makes my hero functional. I use to waste so much time waiting on stock sprint and Sense UI to finish lagging.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twilk73:
I am running CM6 RC2 and if you use sprint VVM you get a text whenever you get a voicemail. So I was told to try out the Youmail app, its pretty much the same except its got 10x the ammout of customaization. Anyway I deleted the sprint apk and I never had the updater apk install since you dont need it I guess.

Anyway I now have the youmail app installed. I set up the setting correctly I think. I set it up to forward the calls to the youmail app and I tried test calling my phone to make sure the voice mail is properly set up. I test called my phone and instead of going to voice mail it goes to the youmail receiver and asks me to enter my phone number and pasword so I can hear my voice messages. Its not prompting the caller to leave a message instead its acting as though I am calling it to hear my voicemails.

What am I doing wrong?

[Streak 5 General] AuirR:

I think you may use IP video call.

Is this a limitation of the Android OS ?

[Streak 5 General] foxfire235:
I don't think there are any apps that can use it. Fring maybe?
[Streak 5 General] mrmrmrmr:
But itshouldn't be enabled with any 3rd party application.

It shouldbe supported by the internal dialer so that the incoming 3g video calls can be received.

Idon'tunderstand why it's not supported.

Maybe in Froyo ? (2.2)
[Streak 5 General] cue_32:
Fring support video calls... as long as the other phone has Fring installed. However, if you've seen\tried Facetime on the iPhone4, you're gonna hate it.

Froyo will bring native video calling application for the Dell Streak. Something to definitely look forward to.
[Streak 5 General] mrmrmrmr:
really ?

does froyo have video calls support ?

and Dell will use it as it is ?
[Streak 5 General] cue_32:
Froyo is not necessarily the one that will bring you Video Calling, it's Dell that has to make the app included with the Froyo update.

Froyo's features are mainly speed and performance related (Introduction of JIT compiler, better memory management, etc..), and some extras including Google to Chrome. (a really nice feature I must say), and voice and gesture control.

Again, its all up to Dell...

so can i use the 2.2 files, re name it update.zip and flash it ? would that work?

thanks
[Motorola Droid Android Development] strikeir13:
No. this won't work. These are .sbf files so they have to be flashed via rsdlite. They CANNOT be flashed with clockwork and will probably screw up your phone more if you do. Boot your phone into bootloader, connect to your pc, and use rsdlite to use these files.

Before you do that, though, try a battery pull. Do that a few times and it might get you into clockwork.

okay. so i flashed my droid with the 2.01, not knowing which version it was on before it got bricked.

when i flashed the SBF to the droid with RSDLITE, the bootloader shows the SW UPDATE in progress, but it still boots to NOTHING...and when i try to go to the bootloader, all that is shown is the blank backlit screen..same when starting the droid.

i'm confused as to what exactly is missing here...the stock SBF is flashed, yet it still won't boot??
