Hello, I'd like to ask you if the proximity sensor works during a call.

It happens that when I put the phone next to my ear, sometimes the call ends because I touch the end call area with my face.

Is there a way to see if the proximity sensor is disabled?
[Flipout and Charm General] sahack:
I'm not sure but mine works perfectly so far..
[Flipout and Charm General] yelo3:
Yea, the problem was that I used the viva-voice (I don't know the english translation).
[Flipout and Charm General] javman85:
maybe you touch the screen and end call? when you close far phone to the head wait one second and then backlight is off... but dont touch the screen yuor ear or cheek before the scren isn't off.
[Desire General] hacedms:
Hi there, I got really strange problem with my HTC DESIRE

My device has been ROOTed,

its S-off,

HBOOT 0.93.0001,

works on HTC SENSE 2.2

I tried to install few custom roms but every time I put new rom it stops on rom animation and starts looping round and round. Phone works only with original system given from virgin which is HTC SENSE 2.2 or on RUU's HTC SENSE. In both cases I cant change it to any other custom ROM because it causes looping.

I've tried OTA HTC SENSE update but even then I still got the same problem didn't wont to go any farther than that looping animation.

Has anybody had the same problem? Big thanks in advance guys, I'm waiting for your ideas.
[Desire General] Meaple:
You done factory reset and wiped all the cache?

After 36 minutes (always the same time) of streaming video from the internet either via media server (Playon app) or direct from a web page, the audio and video will lose sync. This occurs in both TnT Lite 2.3 and Vegan 5.1. I have search the forum for days without finding a solution.

Do I have something set wrong on my G Tablet or is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Ut0p1a:
I read some where that Windows Phone 7 does not have the capability to capture screen, nor will that be Incorporated in the future.

I was playing with Alphajax and the game has a screen capture and allow me to save to my saved folder (see photo)

Another option would be WP7 Screenshot Tool

I used to have iPhone4, and love to be able to capture the weather screen and brag about how cold/hot it was. Why can't we have that on Windows Phone 7?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] blacksoul0:
That feature isn't in WP7, because it's not important enough to the public. It's a stupid reason, but all you can do right know is complain on the official Windows Phone blog about it. If enough people do it, they'll probably change their minds (like with the camera settings).

Hi. Currently my phone has no SD card and I want to access its internal storage from my PC. However when I connect it, I get the dialog with the connection type, but it only shows the options - Charge only, HTC Sync and USB tethering. I have also turned usb debugging on (and also tried turning it off). What is the problem? Is there a way I can access my phone's internal storage without rooting?

No. All methods (Atleast the ones I know so far) requires root.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tlerner:
There was an article recently on XDA portal about HTC losing its touch (http://www.xda-developers.com/feature/has-htc-taken-a-back-seat-on-the-innovation-car/#comments); after reviewing the latest products from HTC I must agree that there is some credence to this article.

Save for the Flyer tablet there is nothing new under the HTC sky; same old phones have just got a minor makeover especially the Desire series. I understand that the phone was particularly popular and a big seller, but must they beat this concept to death? Can there be something new on the horizon?

It has been over a year since the release of HD2 and its 1Ghz processor.

Nothing exciting since then. Meanwhile, the company has jumped on the Android platform with a gusto (and so have many others) but still producing subpar cameras, same issues since the old HD, same tech specifications, same old bugs, etc. Not to mention the battery! Even the tablet is entering the race a bit late. Not to mention

3gp

video recording and resistive (?!)touch screen

I think there may be a good reason why MS has moved to Nokia instead, their announced partnership does promise something new.

I am a big HTC fan and have been a loyal costumer and would love to see something exciting coming from them but there is nothing yet.

What are your thoughts about this?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Beany69:
I too am a little dissappointed by their upcoming phones. The Desire HD2 is the only one to join the ranks of the dual core processors. Who knows, maybe they're working with Qualcomm and we'll see some devices by the end of the year running their new 2.5GHz single core, dual core and quad core processors.

Heres hoping anyway
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tictac0566:
I´m not really buying tech specs, I buy a device, a package. Yes, I´m not interested in average products, either.

HTC, among all other fishes in the smartphone pond, has become one of the smallest. They compete with multi-billion dollar companies which are far more powerful, some of them even developers and owners of core and key technology.

HTC has always been a company putting parts made by others together - in other words, they depend strongly on others. They indeed had some momentum with their approach to the total package. Thanks to their solution, the complicated and not-so-easy to handle WinMo became useful, some other good ideas (even if inspired by others) gave them a big group of fans. And finally, they "dared" to start sell and market products under their own brand. This step, by the way, was done not so much time ago.

I do hope they complete and/or correct the lacks and deficits they never got rid of in the past, and that they dare to take new approaches maybe, too.

The small size of the company has been an advantage in the past, now that the rules of the game have changed dramatically (especially in the past 4 years), it might have become a disadvantage. After all, if things go wrong, maybe they´ll go back to their roots: Producing OEM and ODM mass products for others.

The future will show.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Jake.VR:
What do you expect from HTC? - Snapdragon processor - one of the top-end processors used in mobile devices, 576 of RAM - enough for mobile applications, designed to suit every taste, you can choose from several operating systems (WinMo, WP7, android) / * and to be able to change it on your phone.

The quantity of HTC users is comparable to iPhone users (they are more or less equal in my region).

And I'm almost sure, that less than in a year, HTC will present us a new monster. And I'm glad, that I have HD2, Android breathed a new life into it.

As for me, being one of the top devices for more than 1 Year means something

(from 11/2009)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Jake.VR:
Iphone 4g, in my opinion is the best,

- but HTC is not bad, it's cheaper (You can buy a good HTC device twice and even more cheaper);

- Different design and ROM solutions;

- Great community :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tlerner:
I think this may just be wishful thinking on your part. HTC says it is ''touch-sensitive screen'' - they would say it was capacitative if it were so. Gosh, does that mean applying those annoying screen protectors and the resulting air bubbles - on a 7'' screen?! If you take a closer look as to why would one need to use the stylus one could not find a good reason for it. Scribbling doodles on a notepad? No, thanks!

Besides that there is a score of other issues which are going to prove troublesome for the Flyer (other phone models are not even worth mentioning):

- entering the Android tablet market late and with sub-features in comparison to competition + video recording is limited to 3gp (can't even remember what that looks like). Take a look at Galaxy Tab video quality http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/01/samsung-galaxy-tab-review/

- inferior screen quality and video playback

- at least the new Android version and not the old one (they say it may get upgraded but that is B.S., it should already be on it.)

- proposed high price

The only features which is better is a 1.5 Ghz processor.

When you enter a certain market late you try to have something different and better than your competition, such as, let's say 8'' or 9'' screen, better camera, nicer and larger screen resolution, etc.

Absolutely agree. They came up with a Snapdragon processor and the largest mobile screen over a year ago and that was it. If it weren't for the phone's ability to carry several different OS' I think most of us would have already moved on. Don't get me wrong, I love my HD2 for all the things I mentioned above but it is time to upgrade and save for another revamped HD2 clone (HD7) there is nothing out there on the HTC's market.

I started another thread after MS and Nokia announced their new partnership 'threat to HTC' because I felt that MS was ditching HTC and it seems that this feeling was right on the mark. Somebody said that HTC eschewed dual core for now because they have something better up their sleeve , that they are going to release something revolutionary later this year, blah blah blah, but I disagree. The mobile market is a fast and merciless one; if you don't move fast and be on the top or at least close enough you lose/bomb with the consumers. One does not show up at MWC just for the sake of showing up, you put your best on the line. I am afraid with its 'new' lineup HTC has lost it which makes me really sad because I loved their products.

You have to give HTC credit though, as they were able to sell the same phone with a different name. Lets hope they dont run out of names before chips.

Unless they go round again and just put a dual core in the shell and call it desire HD x 2 then we could have x3 and so on.

heres hoping HTC get some imagination:confused:
[Nook Color General] midnightmaraude:
have a problem here.

My nookcolor all of a sudden just started a reboot process. does the boot screens and animations but never loads up. I last had the latest nooter before 3.0 and 1.01 on it. Just a few min ago I plugged the nook in and it said installing software. That completed but it still just loops on me. I try doing the 8 resets but it keeps going through the boot screen.

Any ideas?

TIA

I mess with the nook doing power off and on and eventually the screen flashes yellow quickly and goes to installing... A new software update is being installed this will take a few minutes.

It completes but then just keeps the boot animation loop on me.

Please help!

out of desperation I tried doing the auto nooter 3 on it.

I dont know if 1.1 is on it. But I assume because it said installing update earlier.

Anyawy it finished and I get hte new splash boot up scrteen. (the robot being traced in green with android below and then a bright light shining but that just plays over and over.

Guys I'm lost please help.

[Nook Color General] joefadone:
A data erase before you do the 8 restarts should break the boot loop. Since you can't get to the Unregister and Erase screen in settings, use this alternate procedure.

Shut down the Nook Color completely.

Start up again by

holding in

the On button and the Nook home button (the "n" button) simultaneously. You must continuously hold in the On button and the Nook home button until the "Touch to the Future of Reading" screen has been visible for a count of 5 seconds, then release both buttons. In a few seconds the screen will flash yellow and you will be presented with the options to erase or cancel. Choose erase by hitting the home button again. You will then be asked to confirm by hitting the home button one more time.

The Nook Color will then erase its data.

After the erase, do your 8 restarts and you should be back to the factory settings and out of your reboot loop. Restart and register, Re-Root and you should be OK
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bone2006:
To start off all my computers at home are Linux. I'm not sure what the issue is, but I just recently started to use ext4 on my sd card for the first time. I'm using yoshi ginger RC5 and this was the first time I created an EXT4 partition on the SD card for my MT3G 1.2 android phone. Out of the 8GB I created 512mb of EXT4, 96 for the swap and the rest fat32.

Everything was working fine for days, then all of a sudden my installed apps had the generic icon as if nothing was installed. So I would go into the market and I would try to reinstall one of the apps and I would get a warning about insufficient space, but I checked and my ext4 partition is only using 13%, so I would reboot the phone and then I could install the app. Next time I try to use the phone again the app or apps were missing.

I'm not sure what the issue is? I did a NAND restore, but I guess this only restores the phone and nothing that's on the SD card.

So after I do a restore I'm still getting the icon as if the app is missing.

So the reason I bring up that I'm using Linux is that it automounts the ext4 partition on my computer, which I'm not sure if it's changing it's permissions or what could be the issue? I know my linux distro adds some hidden folders (the lost ones)

The ext4 partitions reads:

uid -> root

gid -> disk

access -> 660

I just noticed the permissions of app folder inside my ext4 partition has my username and group of the computer I'm on, which I never created anything on the computer, the phone created everything.

app folder

uid -> computer user (sudo user)

gid -> computer group

access -> 771

Since it appears that my computer has changed the permissions of the folder inside the ext4 partition, should I do a chmod and chown recessively on the entire mounted directly?

One thing is that I my system doesn't root enabled, so I'm not sure if that's why things were changed maybe? Root is disabled on my system and I only use sudo, so wondering if that's a reason this might have happened?

Loving the phone and the community here, but I'm starting to get frustrated with this thing. Before DL09, I could never get a lock. After updating to it (manually, before it was an ota), my gps worked for the first time ever. However after switching to DL30 and subsequently EB01, I can no longer achieve a lock. I thought this fix was already taken care of? How come the newer radios aren't working on my phone?

I'm currently using the EB01 radio on Superclean 2.4
[Fascinate General] Kaze105:
You turned on all of the GPS settings (Google, verizon, standalone) and cannot get a lock?

Im getting a lock on EB01 way faster than DL09.
[Fascinate General] Crashspeeder:
I'm on super clean 2.2 and I have no issues with GPS. Have you considered that your phone's GPS may be faulty? I'd exchange it.
[Fascinate General] dangerismymiddlename.com:
I leave the GPS on all the time. In most buildings it keeps the lock. I really hope that leaving it on makes it easier to live with.
[Fascinate General] soba49:
In my foray into EB01, GPS was flawless... for a day. After that I couldn't get a lock to save my life, rebooting clearing stats etc.

The difference was four friends came in from out of town with GSM android phones. We all were having issues. It is like they were kryptonite.

Of course it is ridiculous to think that one GPS would mess up another since they are passive devices. I would advise taking this as weak entertainment or with a grain of salt. DL09 is back yup normal, usually 10 seconds sometimes two minutes for a lock.

In my opinion, getting stable froyo on these units won't be so easy, and I hope we get a few timely releases until they get it right. If EB01 does go OTA, I am screaming bloody murder the moment my clock goes out of synch.

Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.

[Fascinate General] slingblade:
After 48 hours or so of uptime my GPS is definitely not as quick to fix as it was under DL09. I'm sitting in my favorite armchair looking at a fix with three satellites whereas I used to get a fix with 7 or 8 and an accuracy of 8 feet. After a reboot my fix time drops to about 15 seconds and I get a lock on 8 satellites.
[Fascinate General] justinjbaron:
these have been my experiences with Super Clean 2.x (voodoo and nonvoodoo):

- sometimes turning the GPS off from notification window and back on again will do the trick

- sometimes when the above doesn't work, turning it off and then back on again from within settings (where you need to click "agree") will be more effective. In this case I've even noticed a difference between doing this by going directly into settings vs. letting Google Nav tell me that GPS is disabled, and agreeing to let it take me to the location settings.

- bizarrely, sometimes opening "GPS Test" app (market, free) identifies satellites more immediately than Google Navigation. Then after GPS Test can see them, I go back into Google Nav and it will see the satellites right away.

- if all else fails rebooting the phone has always done it (and then doing the same dance described above)

Don't get me wrong I wish it were more stable/reliable but the above seems to do the trick. When it locks at all - it locks right away. I have just forced myself to make sure that the GPS is working before leaving the driveway, or else I run the risk of being frustrated when I need to make a snap decision to go somewhere that requires navigational aid. For me it's almost as if the Android OS isn't properly wrapping its arms around the GPS hardware than an issue of the apps locking a fix.

Last night I almost missed a flight and even went as far as to say "I really need to start bringing my old GPS around with me again". I really hope to avoid this.
