[HTC 7 Pro] billerbong:
I think would have to agree with some others on sticking with the TP2. I would love to have the processor power but the TP2 works so well that it is hard to leave the phone. Also I can customize the TP2 the way I like things. I think the HTC Pro 7 is nice but not worth the jump just yet.

HTC Arrive is almost here

HTC Arrive up for $50 pre-order at Wirefly, requires new Sprint account and two-year contract
[HTC 7 Pro] sh4d0w86:
i hadnt even thought of posting that. good thinking.

i saw this... the htc prime.

a windows phone 7 device without tilt capability. therefore slimmer design.

3.7in WVGA display, 512MB RAM, 5MP Camera w/ Flash, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

looks like a better successor to the rhodium then the 7 pro, aka arrive.

no word on network specifications. though.

source link. http://www.mobileunderground.info/showthread.php?t=45444

sh4d0w86.

...edit.

seems engadget discovered a bit more specifications for the htc prime.

supposed to be sporting a lackluster 800MHz Qualcomm processor.

which is odd. i thought a requirement of wp7 was a processor speed >= 1GHz.

nonetheless. seems the prime is supposed to be a lame lil brother to the 7 pro.

[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
Pre Ordered mine after getting some hands on time finally. Love the device look and feel. My TP2 has been a wonderful device but no matter what rom I cook or download for it, it never feels finished/polished and will never be as fast as a newer Sap powered device (even an old one). For what I use my phone for these days (And also considering I have 2 other powerful WM devices. A HD2 and a old Dell Axim X50v to play with) the WP7 Arrive would fit my bill well. The hinge felt sturdy and though it had the protective plastic on the back of the screen that causes the slider to feel rough/wobbly/overall bad, once slid out the screen slid into place, it we solid. The overall design is a slight improvement over the TP2 save a few choice changes of the Keyboard which will take a little getting used to. (Having to hold Shift for a second to lock caps on instead of just double pressing).

If you want to see my full sort of wright up, look here.
[HTC 7 Pro] cajunflavoredbob:
I love the tilting screen function. I just got my HD2 in, and I'm ready to go back to the Rhodium as I miss having that keyboard.
[HTC 7 Pro] sh4d0w86:
i never tilt the screen. i dont find it to be useful.

that is exactly why i havent gone for the hd2. doesnt have a keyboard.

...now. if the keyboard could somehow be added. i might be interested.

but no keyboard. no phone.

seems i will be waiting for the amazing devs to get winmo 6.5 onto the 7 pro.

sh4d0w86.
[HTC 7 Pro] cajunflavoredbob:
I sure hope WM6.5 on the 7 Pro happens. I just got a HD2 to use for fun this week. I'm sticking with my Rhodium for my daily use device because I can't live without the keyboard. This device has arguably THE BEST hardware keyboard ever designed. I can't go from that to nothing. :)
[HTC 7 Pro] ZeroAX:
The Evo Shift has the same processor which is a newer Qualcomm processor. It outperforms the Evo 4G in speed tests. WP7 requires 1 GHz ARM v7 "Cortex/Scorpion" or better processor.
[HTC 7 Pro] sh4d0w86:
source link. thanks to engadget.

HTC Arrive is available...

...on Sprint.com for $200. after rebate. with a new two-year contract.

...on Amazon. and Wirefly. for $50. for new subscribers. and a new two-year contract.

...on Amazon. and Wirefly. for $150. with a new two-year contract.

sh4d0w86.
[HTC 7 Pro] cyclical:
Only for brand new subscribers does it run for $50 on Amazon and Wirefly. If you already have an account they run $150 with 2 year contract on Amazon and Wirefly.

But if you are on a special/low/grandfathered plan good luck getting it for $150 from Wirefly/Amazon without them forcing your account to be upgraded to a higher plan.
[HTC 7 Pro] sh4d0w86:
that is why i had said new 2-year contract.

i will update it so it is more clear.

and also. add Wirefly to the list.

thanks for the information.

I wish this darn device would hurry up and make it here on a GSM carrier. I'm tempted to get the Euro model as it is...

i am in the same boat. i was just looking today at prices for it. which is how i discovered the information about verizon's possible htc pro. i am already using a rhod400 on at&t. so. the lack of 3g with the 7 pro would go unnoticed. the killer is that high price tag for the 7 pro. : /

[HTC 7 Pro] sh4d0w86:

good thinking.

i will be looking for a new device soon. my rhod400 is being me issues.

so, i agree. the gsm carriers do need to pick this phone up. and soon.

though. it doesnt appear tmobile will be getting the 7 pro, aka arrive.

well, at least, according to that leaked road map. here.

sh4d0w86.
[HTC 7 Pro] cajunflavoredbob:
I might end up getting the Euro model if development continues on the platform. I still can't deal with WP7 too much. I only last about two full days with it on my Leo before I need to get it off of there. I must say that I really do love the People Hub, though. I still use my Rhodium as my daily driver. You just can't beat that keyboard.

updated the original post.

i ended up getting the HD7 off of eBay.

couldn't afford the cost of the GSM 7 Pro.

[HTC 7 Pro] cajunflavoredbob:
Still no US GSM carriers.....
[HTC 7 Pro] sh4d0w86:
well, i didn't see/hear of any announcements and Cellular South's website doesn't show a 7 Pro available.

it appears the rumor was false. updated original post to reflect this.

Verizon and Cellular South still have to wait, sadly.

and yes, unfortunately, still no word on AT&T or T-Mobile getting a variant of the HTC 7 Pro.

sh4d0w86.
[HTC 7 Pro] sh4d0w86:
again, still no GSM variant of the HTC 7 Pro, yet.

but just announced here, US Cellular is getting the 7 Pro.

it is already for sale here.

I'm still following development on it. If I see someone get Android working on it, or (please, God) Windows Mobile, I'm getting the Euro one in a heartbeat.
[Epic 4G General] Elixis:
I just did this and now when I use my gps, it tracks exactly where I am, and not a block away from where i'm supposed to be. Before I played around with these settings, the GPS was off a bit. Try this out and post back.

Here's exactly what I did:

Stand outside while doing this.

Dialer - *#1472365#

Click Command.

TTFF Test.

Start GPS.

Let it receive a fix.

Exit.

Try it out. I don't know the exact technical details behind this, I am just stating that my GPS is magically working after this.

-Elixis
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
What you did by invoking that utility with the dialer code was to force the clearing of the GPS cache data. This one of several methods that will do so.

The "fix" is temporary. After the GPS cache becomes stale again after a period of hours or days, the problems can be expected to recur.

We need a permanent fix from Samsung and Sprint that will maintain the cache properly.
[Epic 4G General] Elixis:
thank you for the details! what a shame...maybe soon then, since the problem has been pinpointed..

[HTC Aria General] M1m3R:
I haven't seen anyone change the search button...

This... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=714670&page=2 ... thread has some info on reassigning the optical button. Might be a good place to start. Guessing that edits "qwerty.kl" might allow you to reassign the search too.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Aria General] Elishallen:
Thanks but i think that only works for physical keys. Please correct me if im wrong.
[HTC Aria General] netw3rkd:
I found an app in the market, name I can't quite remember, search along lines of "button assign" I think. Had it on 2.1 to try n hack up a way to lock phone. So search the market, its there.
[HTC Aria General] Elishallen:
That's a start. I'll give ten e-points to whoever finds me this app. Lol
[HTC Aria General] stone_ship:
It's called Button Shortcut. The icon is a grey camera. It can't replace the search button but you can assign apps to open on long press.
[HTC Aria General] Elishallen:
Here's your points as promised. Im still searching for an answer

Yeah, that's the app I had found. Better than nothing. :)

This... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695936 ...thread has even more info on edits to qwerty.kl (yeah, different name on the Hero).
[HTC Aria General] Elishallen:
Yeah so after an awesome two hours of learning adb stuff and searching for guides on the keys for the aria (that were never found) has thrown me at another brick wall. because the keys that perform the search function have been remapped to the camera function but still no change after reboot and all. Someone wanting optical sleep wake had said he or she had to change the key number also which confused me. why would you need another key number? how does that work the phone should only know one key to relate to the functions not a psuedo key or a hidden key. All i have changed in the qwerty.kl is keys 127 and 217 (which are the same digits just moved around maybe something maybe nothing...) from SEARCH to CAMERA. this is ridiculous.
[HTC Aria General] truffles:
I've found that "in-app wifi toggle" by oliver on the msrket allows wifi toggling by holding down the search button. I find that its useful enough to keep.

One feature i miss from win mo is the customization of hw buttons.
[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
Tasker has an option that can reassign the function of long pressing the search button. You can make it launch an app, direct dial a contact, change wallpaper, turn on WiFi. You can even make it do a series of events, including all of those I mentioned.
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
I use the "Quick Settings" app from the market. It utilizes the long press search button. It allows you toggle wifi, data, brightness, volume, bluetooth, etc, in app. Its handy if you wanna switch something on or off without exiting what you're currently doing.
[HTC Aria General] dexmix:

finds my contacts quick, or jumps to a google web search.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] benchbench:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ducter:
try adb by itself, see if you get any devices listed vs droid explorer.

Go to program files/ droid explorer/ sdk/

hold shift, right click on the tools folder and select open command prompt window

type adb devices

if you see your phone listed then its an issue with droid explorer, if you do see your phone you can do whatever you were trying to do with droid explorer with adb directly...my preferred way anyways.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RagnaKaos:
Hi,

This is a repost from the CyanogenMod forums, as I haven't gotten any replies there. I hope XDA will be more helpful, as I really don't know where else to turn.

I've created an app called "I'm Busy" that is having some trouble with CM6 (on both a Desire and a Nexus One). It seemed to work fine on CM5 and it's never had any problems with my Desire running HTC stock FroYo (2.10).

The purpose of the app is to automatically put the phone on vibrate when there is an appointment in Google Calendar, and takes it off vibrate when it ends. It's quite simple really, but somehow there are some problems with CM6 that have been reported by some of my users.

The problem seems to be that my alarms, which are RTC_WAKEUP alarms, don't get triggered, so my program cannot put the phone on vibrate. If the application is opened manually, it will run a check to see if everything is running correctly and that puts the phone on vibrate, but having to run the program manually sort of ruins the point.

The app is open source and can be found at http://code.google.com/p/imbusy

I hope some of you have some ideas, because I haven't been able to see what the problem could be.

Thanks a lot,

- Marcus

Does anyone have any information about how to adjust screen sensitivity under Android, specifricaly Froyo on Nexus One?

I'm trying to research this topic but there seems to be very little information about this. I can't find any tool, script or custom rom that would allow screen sensitivity to be adjusted.

I found a thread talking about doing it for Liqid's touch using script but that's about it. I took a look on the script and I can't move forward with it as the path's script uses do not exists in my Nexus One. If anyone has any experience with this please share. The goal is to make the screen more sensitive then it is as a default.

Thanks.

Thread reference above:

android.modaco.com/content-page/309503/increase-touch-screen-sensitivity-only-tested-on-liquide-1-100-05-based-roms/page/40/

Script:

#!/system/bin/sh

sensitivity=25

noise=25

echo "set sensitivity to $sensitivity"

echo $sensitivity > /sys/devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-005c/sensitivity

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dferreira:
Sorry for bringing back something from the dead, but I've been researching about this. Nexus One screen sensitivity is low, compared to other touch screens I've experimented with. I know Nexus One is using a Synaptics board. Digging in the source code of Android, I found that the settings on the device itself are located here:

/system/usr/idc/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.idc

The contents of the file as per 2.3.7 are these (they are the same since Gingerbread):

Also, in the kernel, the synaptics driver can be configured to be more sensitive. It is located here on the kernel source:

drivers/input/touchscreen/synaptics_i2c_rmi.c

Maybe we can tweak only the .icl file, or we'll have to dig deep into the kernel to improve the responsiveness of this touch screen!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dferreira:
Increased the sensitivity by changing the value:

touch.pressure.scale = 0.01 to touch.pressure.scale = 0.001

in /system/usr/idc/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.idc

So i have a look at my camera lense and there is some sort of orange plastic on the inside, is this normal? do any of you guys have this orange cellophane over the lense?

And could anyone tell me, what is it for and can I remove it, if i do will it mess up the picture?

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulang_lata:
Try checking your white balance in the camera settings. Set it to Auto. Sunny setting is usually orange tinted while Incandescent setting is blue.

The orange tint you see on your lens is not a plastic layer. The lens is probably coated to prevent lens flare or other excessive lighting. If you look closely at the lens of point and shoot cameras, you'll also notice this tint (even in high-end cameras). I noticed that cheap or low end camera phones do not have this.

Hope this helps.

[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
Please stop spreading misinformation about how the protection "works."

The phone does not restore anything. The changes are simply never written in the first place - the Sandisk chip lies to the OS that writes have been committed, and the OS cache continues to present the cached copy until it is flushed or rebooted.

In other words, T-Mobile has lied, thrown HTC under the bus, and is going against the whole concept of Open Source and Android. T-Mobile and HTC see Android as a cash cow - they could care less about Linux, Open Source and following the GPL.

My G2 will be on its way back to T-Mobile tomorrow over this. It's my phone, if I cannot do with it as I please, I don't want it.

This is really starting to aggravate me.

One being that we don't have Froyo yet and I can't install a bunch of apps all of sudden cause they're 2.2 only.

Two and most important is that devs are making 2.2 apps only and not making them backwards compatible. Has Froyo changed from 2.1 that drastically that the apps can't handle both OS's?
