I see. I actually do have long hair... that could be a factor. My hair could be moving across it or moving and it could be triggering the sensor. Maybe once we get root access we can see if there is a way to disable the sensor altogether for calls. I like the auto back light feature but so far in calls it is very annoying. Shouldn't be too hard i think.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Snuggl3s:
One thing I like to do is cover the top part where the sensor is first with my ear / side of my head then place the rest of the phone on the side if my face. So angling it basically, whole process takes about 2 secs. Hope this helps.

fRom Snugs G2 ^.^
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
I have the same problem too, its annoying. What I do is that I try to keep the sensor area (top left of the phone) as close as possible to my case, also as covered as possible. Kepp the bottom half of the face a little bit away from the face (cheek). - this way you wont set off any on screen buttons if light does get through the sensor.

Hey everyone!

I'm a huge fan of the Zune Home launcher, I love its look and interface. The one thing I really miss though is access to a few widgets. I don't use too many, but I'd really like to be able to use Power Control along with a couple others.

If you aren't familiar with Zune Home, its just one screen with a scrollable list of sections (email, internet, photos, apps) and a side column of your favorite apps. There's no room for widgets here (nor would I want them right there on the main screen) and its only the one screen, no left or right aux screens.

A workaround I thought of is somehow putting a shortcut or app in the quick launch that leads to a page of widgets. I tried searching around for "widget page app" and many versions of that idea, but as you might guess, it's really hard to search for.

Any ideas?

tl;dr Is there any app that simply brings up a blank page that you can fill with widgets?

Thanks!

hello fellow xda members, i just wanted to know how close are the chefs to get the camera working on the desire HD build, ive read that is not only on the HD2 but on every other device? can you guys just replace the cam drivers with the one that come with the HD build?

thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Camera won't work until desirehd source codes are released, which can possibly take months. Or it may be next week. It's up to HTC. There's nothing the chefs can do until then.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twigums:
Well guys we all know how amazing these phones are with our devs apps, tweaks, roms, kernels, etc. People who dont have an evo simply cant understand how amazing these things are! Now with that said a little more work and i think that we can start the way in the next step of technology. As im sure most of us know there is a way to have bluetooth input options (keyboard and mouse) and we have the nifty HDMI out plug built into our phone. HOWEVER we have yet to find a way to have the entire screen able to be shown on a tv. If we can get our screen in its entirety to be transferred to your favorite xx inch HDTV, bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and the hdmi cord do we not have a computer? (maybe a computer for 2000-2002 but a computer none the less)

Is there anyone behind this idea? Any devs that can or want to assist? Im shocked at the lack of development on this compared to all the other areas we have improved our phones!

you're really not gonna want an 800x480 desktop blown up to 40+ inches....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDoctor1971:
No, but it would seriously kick ass to be able to connect to the 800x600 7" touchscreen monitor in my truck and use it for a car pc (beside the win7 box I built for it). Google Navigation is way cooler than any windows app unless you need trip agenda's or other fancy stuff.

There's a guy who did a mymobiler type app but it requires the android sdk to be installed etc. Supposedly mymobiler is making an android version but again that would require windows to be preseting (along with the requisite computer). It would be cool to be able to connect directly to a monitor.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanglifemike:
I really want this too!! I would be more than willing to pay for this or donate to who ever can make this happen. I used this feature a lot on my TP2 and assumed my Evo would also be able to do it. The fact that I wanted to do this, and the Evo has an HDMI output was a HUGE selling point for me. I was very dissapointed to find out that it did not do this out of the box. I assumed that a developer would have this solved in no time though, so it wasnt as big of a deal. Now, here we are months later and still unable to do this it is a big let-down.

I dont want it for using my phone as a computer, I can connect my 17" laptop to my 52" Sony LED if I want to do that. I just want to be able to hook up my phone for watching movies and for gaming and showing other things to a group of people who can not all gather around the Evo's screen to see it. I know we can watch movies through the gallery, but I dont like being limited....and not being limited is what I love about Android. Also, watching movies through Gallery has always been a but buggy for me, not sure why.

Anyway, I know this is a long post. BUT, this is on the top of my list as for things that I want to do on my Evo next. I am happy with my current ROM, Kernal, current apps, games, etc.. I just want to be able to have full access on my tv of everything that is on my Evo's screen and I would be fully satisfied with my Evo right now. Please, some one make this happen!! I would be forever grateful!! :D

[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Does "2.1-update1" mean I have the recent OTA update?
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
ECLAIR.UVJI6 under "Build Number" means you have the latest version.

Vibrant came stock with 2.1-update1 and the latest update doesn't change that. Your build and baseband will both end in JI6
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Hm, I had a firmware update available last night and I ran it but it "bricked" my phone. I spent all day learning how to get back to stock. I finally fixed my phone, but when I went back to run the update again I get "No firmware."
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
The same way you got back to stock can get you to the latest update. It's really easy, just make sure you are using Odin 1.3

Are you rooted right now?
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
No, since I got back to stock I haven't done anything besides redoing some of the old settings I had. Last time I rooted I used RyanZAs OCLF, but I had kind of decided being rooted (or something) was the reason the update broke my phone.
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
Just odin from my thread. Its the same as the OTA. Undo all your lagfixes and all BS. before trying to do it.

its all explained. Dont see a need for 30 threads on the same thing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
Okay, so this is a really weird issue that I found out with my HTC Tilt2 while it was running Android, and I have a feeling it might have something to do with the WEP code (Even though I've tried it 20+ times...)

Anyways, whenever I try to connect to my home network on Android, it always goes through the same process of *Connecting...* *Sending...* *Connecting...* *Disconnected*, as if it just pings the router to check for a connection, then disables itself. Whenever I try it anywhere else however, I do not get this issue. I haven't found another location with another WEP key to try and see if its just that part of it that is unstable, but it's just a thesis. It's either that or my network, which, at this point, I wouldn't doubt if it was.

So... Anyone else getting or had this issue and solved it? Of connecting to a Wi-Fi network with a WEP key and getting *Connecting...* *Sending...* *Connecting...* *Disconnected*?

Edit: I did a bit more research and discovered that WEP is the only thing that doesn't work. Anybody got a reason other than it just doesn't work? Maybe something to do with the kernel or...?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
WEP is an extremely insecure (unsecure?) protocol. Even if XDAndroid did support it, why would you want to use it? WPA/WPA2 are much, MUCH more secure and harder to crack than WEP is - with simple packet injection software, any 13 year old script kiddie can pop open your wifi.

I guess it is better than no security whatsoever if you are concerned about AP pirates, but not much. Every device in the last 5 years I'd say should support WPA/WPA2. So don't worry about WEP not being supported, it's horrid!

I think it is a kernel issue, but I don't see that being a priority for the devs to fix.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
I looked into that a bit and just decided to upgrade my WEP to a WPA connection. Don't think my parents or brother we're too happy about me doing it, but from what you've said, it should be a lot better for both me and them.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Ha, well they only have to type in the new passcode once, assuming they save it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
Yep, and now I kind of understand why WPA is better than WEP. If you can figure out the paraphrase code behind it, then it's all easy to decode and translate and get someone's WEP code. Plus, it's a open encryption (which I think you already stated)

The more you know XD

@ QuentinX5

I have the exact same issue as you i just got android running on my TP2 and get the connect disconnect issue, i was just wondering if you could shed any light on how to switch my network from WEP to WPA, cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
It's on your router. You change the security setting on your wireless settings from WEP to WPA. Then any PC/device that connects to your router wirelessly will have to type in the code again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] benjimanute:
Could you elaborate more by "it's on your router" do you mean going to the actual model numbers router and connection to it? or can it be done through internet configuration on the computer
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You have a wireless router correct? There's a configuration page on that router where you secure it with a password - is this not familiar to you? Router's don't ship with wifi secured, you have to put the password on the router...

There's a configuration page you need to go to figure it out. You can put your make/model router in portforward.com to see the steps to get into your particular router.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] benjimanute:
Thank you for the help, i have now changed the password and switch from WEP :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanmmj:
Please post questions in the Q&A forum or as part of the thread in which you found the item that caused the problem. This keeps the development forum from getting crowded.

Thread moved.

As far as modifications to the themes or anything else related to the framework, they tend to be VERY framework specific and frameworks change on each ROM version.
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
I've put up a game for Android using OpenGL ES 2.0 on the market. It's called Cellulon: Attack of the Virii.

It's a platformer in which the player plays as a single-celled citizen of planet Cellulon. Cellulon is under attack from an evil race of viruses called the Virii. The basic point of each level is to try to make it to the far right of the level.

Anyway, I'm gearing up for release and would like to offer up a Beta Test version here with 3 of the finalized levels as a thanks to the xda community.

So far I've been testing on a Nexus One, Droid, and myTouch Slide, so if you have a different phone and experience something that seems really odd(like, say, crashing), please let me know.

Thank you and Enjoy!

PS. The controls: tilt to move left/right, scroll ball/dpad center -or- menu to jump. Swipe down on the screen to slam down(in order to kill an enemy beneath you). If you have spines, press on the screen in the direction you want to shoot to shoot one. Note that on phones with capacitive menu buttons, slamming/shooting cannot be done at the same time as holding it down.

Update: Now released on the Market for $1.99(for a limited time)! Also has a demo version that has the first three levels(2 of which are different from the version here). Thank you everyone who's tested this.

Get it now in the Android Market!

Oh, and here's some screenshots:
[Android Apps and Games] elracing21:
Ok so im not sure how you take criticism so i'll go easy.

First off. Props on making this game, im sure it takes alot and i can tell your taking your time with this.

I noticed its a little boring, you should add more verticallity like in one part of the level where you jump on a platform and on another one is another enemy. I dont like the controls. I wish you can just hit the menu again wile in the ait to perform the slam move. This would be easier.

I didnt get any other things to test out like the spike you mentioned.

You should add more monsters with more platforms and maybe coins or mini cells to collect around the level for a better score at the end of each level. Maybe add a grade score?

IDK this is just some suggestions.

Good luck
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Thanks for the feedback! I get what you're saying with a lot of this, and have thought of adding a score(more enemies and different upgrades are coming in future updates). The only real reason why I haven't so far, actually, is because I didn't want to deal with displaying text in opengl(I probably shouldn't be so lazy).

Also, valid concern about the slamming. I'll take this into consideration.

One note: It's only the first level that's that flat. It's intended to be an introduction and probably on release will have pop-ups when you encounter certain areas of it to give instructions on how to play.

If you continue on to level 2/3, you'll see there's a lot more acrobatics/enemies on platforms/etc.

At any rate, I'm fine with criticism, and I certainly appreciate your input(plus, I'll receive MUCH worse when I post the game to the Market).

Also, you didn't have any complaints about stability and the like, I guess I can check off another phone for compatibility. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] kevin2516:
can you make it work for the wildfire? :p
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Ah, sorry, no. This uses OpenGL ES 2.0, which isn't backwards compatible. In order to make it work, I'd essentially have to redo all of my drawing code and even then it would probably look terrible.
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
New version is up. Beta 2 now with performance enhancements and some great new features.
[Android Apps and Games] elracing21:
Sweet goin to test the new version out. Oh and yes its totally smooth on the g2.
[Android Apps and Games] elracing21:
Ok just tried version 2. Also went on to level 2. Pretty sneaky of you to hide the second gene on the left wile dropping lol.

Ok some more feedback... When slamming I noticed when you bounce off of an enemy you never bounce up straight. Idk. If this is intentional or not but just saying. I like how the spikes shoot out. I don't like how the levels just end and too need to back out to the main menu to go to level 2. Also at the end of every level you have a piece of blank background it doesn't look good.

The pop ups do help a lot so props for that.

Keep it up man.
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Thanks again. I hadn't noticed that level 1 doesn't give a pop-up for retrying/main menu when you win. That's a bug and will be fixed in the next version.

I know what you mean about the blank background. I'll try to get that fixed as well(I don't THINK that'll be too hard.)
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Another update. Beta 4. Doesn't really add much but makes it a bit better looking(I think) and gets much more stable and a bit higher framerates.
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Release Candidate 1 is up. I have the game pretty much how I want it for release unless any major issues come up.
[Android Apps and Games] elracing21:
Stopped working as I got the gene on lvl1... keeps crashing there.

You should add a nice home menu screen and a pause screen as well. Maybe add sfx or music. Also when jumping on an enemy I bounce weird like its not a straight bounce.

Did you enhance the gfx? Looks a lot better!

Like that you added the score. Will keep it interesting...

What kind of other genes are there? Only the spike and life ones? More would be cool not sure if there already is but cheers for improving so quick.

Posted on my T-mobile G(spot)2 xD
[Android Apps and Games] ljbaumer:
Yeah I would spice up the menus a bit and maybe add some sound effects or music or something to make it a bit more appealing to the users which will help out a lot when you release it to the market.

Maybe make 2 more levels or something so that users can get more playing time out of it or make skins for your character or something.

Also it works fine on my droid 2 but when I open up the keyboard it reverts back to the main menu. I think you should probably fix this issue before you release it.

I didn't notice a problem when bouncing off of enimies except when I get the first gene upgrade it automaticly force closes no matter what. Maybe if I skip by the upgrade it won't force close but that is also a problems that should be fixed but other than that it it great

Cool game though and good luck.
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Gah, xda-developers used to email me when I got new posts on threads... don't know why it doesn't any more. I have a new version at home that might fix some of your issues, I'll post a new RC from that tonight. I closed up a lot of memory leaks so, at least on my phone, it's pretty crash/slowdown resistant.

The latest version does have a splash screen featuring the name of the game and such, which is a bit nicer.

Also, I've added sound effects(no music, I can basically only use public domain sounds since, as much as I'm not an artist, I'm even less so a musician/sound engineer)

Bouncing off the enemies doesn't make you bounce straight up. Rather, it bounces you back in the direction you came from.

For the genes, there's only life an spikes for this release. More are planned for updates in the future, but not gonna be ready for initial release(more enemies as well).

For levels: There certainly will be more, I just don't put them all in these test versions(notice that at the end of each level in this it references level 1, 4, or 7 instead of 1, 2, or 3). I currently have 12 levels ready to go and will release with 15.

ANYWAY, sorry for all this text, but new(and hopefully final) version will go up tonight.

EDIT: Forgot, re:keyboard closing force close: I've seen this one as well, I'll work on fixing it before release.

[Android Apps and Games] murdercitydan:
Just finished try to play on my EVO. Controls are a bit odd, if you're going faster than a snail it lags and you cant really jump. Sometimes it will close out of the app after tryig to jump unsuccesfully several times. Not a normal force close though, it just goes straight back too my home screen.

Also, the second i grab the first gene i get a force close and it takes me to the main menu of the game.

Not sure if this matters to you or not, but im using the newest version on fresh.

Aside from my devices problems with the game, i do like the concept.

Alright, thanks guys I'll look into that. What phones do you have? I was a bit surprised to see the evo having that problem since it has the same chipset as my Nexus One(on which it works perfectly), but with enough data I should be able to figure it out.

Thanks especially for the logcat.

EDIT: Got it. Looks like I borked the pop-up you're supposed to get the first time you get a health upgrade. Shouldn't be too difficult to fix. Thanks again, guys!
