[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k25anova51:
I've been on this forum for awhile, but have never posted. OP, I'm so dumbfounded by your attempts at arguing points. Sure, some people want front facing cameras. Sure, T-Mobile would make a whole lot more money if they could raise the price of the phone and sell more units.

But you're ignoring all the other points that 1) there has been a teardown of the phone that reveals no FFC and 2) all the new features in the nexus one were based on software upgrades, not hardware.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_____l:
I've read every post in this thread and almost needed to kick the dog!

1st, being the Vibrant is NOT a G2, does not mean it's irrelevant. My first thought was the Nokia N900 (now at least a year old) and how it's front facing camera is there, but NOT software enabled! I ALMOST bought the N900, just because Skype was built in with the OS! However, the N900's front VGA camera was NOT software implemented at the time. Hardware was there for sure! And Skype is loving their "video chat" thing. However, it boils down to one thing. Technology is OBSOLETE every 90 days! The front facing camera in ANY device is just a lens! ...not an entire separate camera. The "camera hardware" is nothing more than a "chip-set".

Now, for the reason T-Mobile/HTC is keeping it a secret? Simple! If they let the word out, they would need several container ships to send all those "My Touch video chat ready" units back to where they came from!

At the end of the day, I do believe, without disassembling my G2, that there is indeed a "pin sized" VGA camera lens just under the "proximity/light sensor".

And here is how I came to that conclusion.... If you have ever shined a flashlight into the front element of a 35mm SLR camera lens at an angle, you will notice, that when you move the flashlight, you will see a bright spot of refracted light rotate 180 degrees from the source. I use this method when cleaning camera lenses...and under a magnifying glass, I see this on my G2.

As far as cost of the front camera "hardware"?... I'd guess 20-30 CENTS! Leaving the front camera out? A 10-15 million $ loss.

U all have pHuN!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~~Tito~~:
. . . . . There is no front camera on the G2. . .look at the disassembly pictures. . . . . .:rolleyes:

PLUS

There is no way in HELL that the G2 would go this long with out someone noticing an ACTUAL FFC. . . .

PLUS PLUS! There are two sensors, the proximity sensor, and the light sensor. No camera, and the proximity sensor uses a lens, that does not mean it is a "Pin-Hole" VGA, there wouldn't be enough room for a "camera under the proximity sensor".

Sheesh, cell phones don't have conspiracy's or anything like that behind them, and they aren't magical either. . .
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisChavez:
I COMPLETELY agree with Tito. Although it would be cool if they were somehow hiding the fact they had a ffc, its just not there.

People see weird things with proximity sensors and ambient light sensors. They always mistake them for front facing cameras.

I would actually be willing to bet (with real money) that there is NO front facing camera on the G2. LOL :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~~Tito~~:
LOL, I would bet too! LOADs of money!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Lol why would HTC waste money on putting a FFC but yet not use it?

There's no FFC on the G2. Period.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jboy15:
hey, ive been wondering about that too..lols and yea it does look like a front face camera!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Holy thread resurrection Batman !

Just try putting your thumb over those two "holes" at top left and see what happens. You'll soon see that one is the light sensor (i.e. affects whether the keyboard backlight is on/off) and the other is the proximity sensor (i.e. when you're on a call affects whether the screen is on/off).

There is no FFC.

I receive the email from my client and I tried to reply his email with my SGS with quoted text included.

He can receive my email but not the text that I typed which mean he is receiving the same email without any reply.

I tried not to include the quoted text when I reply and receiver can see my text but this is not point to reply the email when quoted test is not included.

I don't have this problem in 2.1(eclair) but I always encounter this problem after I updated to 2.2(Froyo).

Not sure if anyone encounter this problem also.

Transparent Top Curtain

Is there a cab that makes the top curtain transparent?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
here are the manila files, put them in your windows folder. back up the originals first.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbwatson:
I was able to get the bottom curtain transparent by using Sharkie405's Transparent CHT Softkey cab. I tried the manila file from the Transparent curtains zip file but it had no effect. See attached screen shot. I am trying to get the top black bar transparent. Thanks for the assistance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
that's the taskbar not the curtain, its not possible to make it transparent however cht 2.0 has the option to skin it to match your wallpaper....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ForgetfulGuru:
Only if your running windows 6.5 not 6.5.x so I have been lead to belive.

btw. what is the best method to clear the start menu text. I've try a couple that just crash my phone. (very anoying)

Cheers, Billy
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
im pretty sure you can skin the taskbar on 6.5.x....

I haven't heard anybody complaining about that yet, and. it would cause some serious complaints lol...

the start menu text in the top left??

its contained in a .dll file which requires a lot of messing around to edit and a different approach depending on your rom.

not a very user friendly tweak im afraid......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ForgetfulGuru:
Hi thanks for the info on the "Start Text". Guess I'll just keep looking and crashing till I get it.

As for the other Your probably right about skining it in general I was meaning more from using CHT (From Frequently asked questions section)

Q: Why can't I skin my taskbar and softkeybar?

A: This feature is only available on WM6.5

Not trying to show of or anything, Just that bit stuck in memory.

Not

Forgetful

all the time, just when the wife or the boss is asking difficult questions. ;) ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
I cant remember which .dll it is but this link..... might come in handy if you decide to go down the route of messing around with the taskbar.......

I dont know what they mean by that Q in the CHT thread, I think that includes 6.5.x because Ive seen screenshots in the today screen thread from ppl on 6.5.x with skinned taskbars :confused: very confusing...... lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmccabe78:
to skin the taskbar (aka make it look transparent) is doable.

but it depends on your theme (the one you have checked off in your systems part of your phone.)

you will find the image at:

hkcu\ software\ microsoft\today\taskbar\taskbarthemeimage

it is 36px high.

simply cut off the top 36px of your desired bg pic and change the registry.

haven't found an easier way.

hope this makes sens.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_rx7_:
Using LeeDroid v2.1a A2SD+ on my Desire.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't remove the preinstalled apps from /system/app or /data/app from the ROM's zip file, flash the ROM and then install the apps from the market afterwards?

I'm only talking about the apps that can be found in the market such as superuser, cifs manager, gmail, maps, voice search, etc.

Will this cause any issues?

Is there a reason why these apps are packaged with the ROM besides convenience?

Thanks!

Just wondering why my incredible can't see my network when I run wireless tether.

My laptop has no problem. So what is different?

Sent from Chad's Dinc
[Fascinate General] inJustus:
I'm guessing because android isn't ad-hoc supported although I thought there was a work around on this site.
[Fascinate General] Mean Sixteen:
Thanks.

I will have a look around.

Sent from Chad's Dinc
[Fascinate General] Mean Sixteen:
Did a search and can't find it.

Anyone have any ideas about a workaround?

Sent from Chad's Dinc
[Fascinate General] chronster:
I use a program called barnacle legacy, and it sets up an ad-hoc network. I had to use this instead of the apk posted around here because that one created a computer-to-computer network, which my work laptop won't connect to (domain enrolling and all that.)

I'd say give that app a shot and get back to us.
[Fascinate General] dr154:
wireless tether is ad-hov connections not interface; there's a big difference in the two.

computers can connect to both while cell phone's can only connect to interface connections.
[Fascinate General] inJustus:
How did you get that to work? I always got an error but it would be connected but no movement.
[Fascinate General] mejdam:
Infrastructure mode is supported on droid incredible. dont know how they did it but i owned one so i know its possible.
[Fascinate General] Mean Sixteen:
Thanks for the replies.

Here is what I want to do...

I deactivated my incredible to get this fascinate.

I run wireless tether on the fascinate and would like to use the hotspot created to use the incredible.

For instance I could put the inc in it's windshield mount and get data to run navigation through the wireless network created from the fascinate.

I would love some help or at least to know if it can or cannot be done.

Great forum.

Fascinate oc1.2 for now
[Fascinate General] chronster:
I just downloaded it from the market and ran it. Maybe it doesn't work on droid 2.

Theres another version apparently. The Legacy version was like a good version that worked for a lot of people, and I guess his newest version was something that didn't work for some, but worked for others.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmathews:
Hi,

I have been using my HD2 (upgraded from a Touch Cruise - which btw is for sale) for about a month. I did a couple of updates from the HTC site, and noticed that my camera wont start - just noticed that today - since I dont use that much.

It gives me an error "Unable to switch to preview mode. failed to set up the camera device"

Would really appreciate any help on this..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopkinskong:
Try restart your device, if error still occour, hard reset or repair.

[Galaxy Tab General] vitalij:
It would be nice if you describe display quality - viewing angles, panel type (is it IPS) how it performs in sunlight. Is minimum brightness good for reading in dark conditions? Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] checkbox111:
Viewing angles are a subjective issue, personally when i pick up my mobile device and look into it, it's always straight in front of me, so that's all i want, but if you have a viewing angle of over 45 degrees like the Tab, all you get is people on the bus, train or plane looking sideways to see what you're looking at :mad: :mad:

I'm based in England at the moment, they don't have that much sunlight :rolleyes: and even less direct sunlight :mad:

First impressions, it feels to plasticky, not like it's price suggests that it should, not as bad as an X10, but almost.
[Galaxy Tab General] Phen0m:
How is the call quality/ease of use.. Does the tab "feel" swift?
[Galaxy Tab General] Halulz:
Hello guys,

Thanks for the initial question. I will cover this question in the video review.

I need more points of focus for the review.

MOARRRR
[Galaxy Tab General] sebbo90:
Like if you have had chance to use the ipad, maybe like how does it compare value wise? As I think how much it costs £599 is putting me off, but if it is worth it compared to other tablets then I would consider it more
[Galaxy Tab General] checkbox111:
Wouldn't know about call quality as it's only owned by an engineer that comes into our office, he doesn't have any problems as far as i've heard, but as with other threads here just don't expect it to fit into you jacket or trouser pocket, one it's to big and another it's to heavy to be comfortable.

You may have visited the dell streak forum, or heard of how fragile the dell streak lcd screen is? because of it's large size the body flexes but LCD's by their very nature cannot flex and they snap. Well just look at the size of the LCD on the Tab, and the body of the Tab is made of plastic and (not titanium as per streak) to save weight, this by it's very design will make it more suceptible to breakage, (the body will flex under pressure the LCD will not) = ££££££

Well the ipad and the Tab are two completely different entities, one is a bookreader trying to be a netbook pc, the others a smartphone with obesity problems. They shouldn't be compared IMO.
[Galaxy Tab General] Halulz:
Thank you. Do you have any questions that you would like answered about the device?
[Galaxy Tab General] checkbox111:
Similar to all owners i would think! why did samsung insist on utilising such a large bezel around the screen? therebye turning a 7' screen device into one more akin to a 10' without any benefits of a 10'?, and adding nothing to the looks of the device at the same time.
[Galaxy Tab General] sebbo90:
Lol yeah I get the point, what I was more curious was in relation to the size, like is 7" too small to get a full web experience? Is it too big to carry round yet too small to use around the home? etc
[Galaxy Tab General] checkbox111:
No, because the 5" dell streak isn't to small for that!

As in other posts! you will not carry this around on your pocket, unless you want to break it! You might try a large overcoat with a very wide collar, if the pockets big enough and you want to look like the FBI everywhere you go.

[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
Thanks for trolling another thread entirely off the rails.

To the OP:

A few things that I'd like to see discussed. Firstly how does it feel to type on it ? I've seen in a few first-impression pieces that it feels good (like a galaxy S in landscape) but it'd be great to get the feelings of a regular user. Also, some shots of the keyboard in action would be nice.

Secondly, can you toss some 720p video on there and show us how it looks. It never looks the same in video as in person, but it'd give us an idea of how the screen does as far as contrast and colour vibrancy is concerned.

Finally, how does the device feel to you ? Does it feel to you like you could carry it in a pocket all day ? Does it meet your expectations for speed/ease of use ?

GL with the video, hope to see it soon!
[Galaxy Tab General] frav:
It is maybe off topic, but ... here goes :

- What release of Android is running ? Same as the one on Galaxy S device ?

- Does this android release supports multiple Exchange sync accounts (like HTC Desire & Desire Z do) ?

- Does it have 2 SIM card slots ? (saw that somewhere, don't remember ... where). If so, is it one for voice plan, second one for data plan ?

- Does it come with a USB host port (or the hw to take care of it) ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] koven:
Does it play 1080p files (mkv & flash) or does i only output 1080p..?
[Galaxy Tab General] ballah:
I got my hands on this last week to try out for a good half hour, and i loved it. The size was great, and great to watch movies on.

Looking forward to it. Release in Norway is 21. okt :))
[Galaxy Tab General] johnnewhouse:
could it be confirmed if the Tab is going to require Kies in the same way as the Galaxy phones, e.g. for firmware updates

i assume that there will be no difference between this and their phones, but as Kies is software that i truly dislike, i am living in hope that it does not.
[Galaxy Tab General] AnttiV:
Yes, it is confirmed by Samsung already. In their official site, it says in the "PC connectivity" section "KIES". Sorry. I know, I hate that application with a passion myself...
[Galaxy Tab General] AnttiV:
If you have time, it would probably interest many people if you'd manage to try some popular apps from the market and see how they act with the increased resolution. We all probably have out own top10 lists for software, but I think browsing appbrain for most popular and trying a few of them would give people some idea how far that compatibility is.

(I, personally, would love to see how WidgetLocker, Beautiful Widgets and Launcher Pro work on that, but unfortunately at least the first two ain't free.

But more generally, how do widgets work on that screen? What I've gathered from the pictures is that the Tab has a FIVE column display (instead of the traditional 4) on the homescreen. How do widgets work with that? does a 4x4 widget scale to full size, or does it live a "column" free. Also, how many rows does the screen have?

EDIT: oookay, I don't know why these two posts became separate, this was supposed to be an edit to that earlier...
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
Actually thats a good idea.

I even forget that widget locket etc are even apps these days! But yes that'd be good to see if they scale up or still work properly on the big screen.

I imagine beutiful widget and switchpro you could make them bigger with launcherpro+ if they won't scale up by themselves, same with any other widgets, but it'd be good if they did it for free! However I think the 'grid' on the Tab is bigger anyway, so 4x2 widget would cover more space, but then it appears to have more rows too, so they might still appear small :p

Anyways, if you have any paid for apps on your main smartphone, you should be able to put the same market account on the Tab and download them again, so that's one way around paying twice just to demo them.
[Galaxy Tab General] FetFnask:
A few things I'd like to see:

- Spotify in action if possible.

- Proper comics and hos they scale to the screen and if it's easy or hard to read them (The Walking Dead for example.)

- A bit more on reading eBooks in different lights.

- In-depth look at the calendar and how flexible it is.

- If possible, how the accessories (like the keyboard) work.

- How it handles different resolutions of video.

Thank you for accepting suggestions!

Hi there,

yesterday i have to use Windows Mobile and i rebootet my Android so that i could start Windows Mobile. In Windows some installed Apps would not start and gave me a error message like "file not found or broken". I tryed to fix it by formating SD Card, delete and copy Android with its whole Folders and Files. But nothing helped. Only a Hard Reset of Windows Mobile bzw. my HD2 could fix it.

This happend about 4-5 times and allways the same. And it was not the first reboot of Android. Maybe about 10-15 Times the Reboot and restart i could not find any problems. but sometimes this mysterious thing happens to me.

did someone get the same problem and know how to fix?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spiritsky:
Because you deleted your winmo apps that stored in SD card. Or you used a new card for android. So I hope u have a backup.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] >Prometheus<:
****, i think my english is not good enought to explain my problem exact.

i try to explain the way i use my phone with winmob and android so that someone could understand what i mean ;)

i have froyostone 3.1 from darkstones website. on my sdcard are some folders like programme, musik ... and in the root of the sdcard i put the whole android folder. inside this folder i start clrcrd to fix the audio prob and then haret to start android. sometimes i have to use winmob because i have bought navigon a few month ago and i dont like google navi. to get it work i shutdown android and restart my hd2 to boot up winmob. there i could use navigon or some games and other features. and sometimes the gfx of winmob looks a bit ... dont know how to explain ... normaly a hd2 has a resolution of 480x800 and if my winmob starts to break it looks like its resolution goes down to maybe 400x667 or something like this. the gfx is not realy bad and i have to take a exact look to see the differences. and then if i start any app witch is stored on my sd card it could not be startet.

the exact error message (sorry only german because i have german language)

i think android uses some hardware drivers inside winmob and sometimes at the moment of shutdown it causes some strange errors or something.
