It was on my to-do list for a while to figure out, but alas, lack of time. I know there are some private apps out there that use it, but I've also seen people asking for how it works here. I haven't been following XDA for the past two weeks or so, but I thought some of you may find this blog interesting:

The zip file (sensortest.zip) seems to contain most of the declarations needed to play with the sensor.
Hope this helps some hackers here who were still wondering, or if it's been posted before, my apologies for the spam
Haven't had the time to play with it myself yet

Im just making my first program, and throwing myself in teh deep end, with no experience whatsoever. But its great fun [when not frustrating]
Im using c# and VS2005 professional edition, and ive basically created my user interface, with 3 numericupdown boxes, i want to out put those values into a text file for another file to read.
All methods from the internet havent worked, and give random errors, possibly because of my lack of experience, and i have no idea where to put them, but i think ive been doing it right. And i have searched here aswell, but it seems that its more where people post programs rather then beign about development.
If you can help, but need more information please pm me, its just that id rather not share the whole infomation with everyone [not that i dont trust you]
Thanks to you all
Rory
File management is in System.IO. In there, you have the File class.
There are a bunch of HowTo's there. One of them explains how to write to a file.
What errors are you seeing?
thanks so much..
Finally solved my problem, and my msdn library doesnt have that in it.. hmm
Might be back soon with more problems
lol
Thanks

I apologise for starting what is, in many ways, an 'I'm a noob, help me!' thread but I have put some effort into researching each of these topics but I'm still left with questions, so I thought I'd just lay everything out there and see if anyone can help me.
Firstly, sometimes when I start to write a text message, the first character disappears. It shows on-screen for maybe half a second, then it's as if I've hit backspace and it gets deleted.
It's really odd, it only happens from time-to-time and so far I've not been able to discern any sort of pattern to this behaviour - it doesn't seem to be specific to certain contacts, nor does it seem to matter whether it's a new text or a reply that I'm writing. It's just completely random.
I've searched on this forum, checked HTC's hotfixes and kept an eye out on other fora I frequent that have anything to do with the Touch HD but so far I haven't seen anything about this.
Secondly, I've been trying to find a calender application that will allow me to enter 'rules'.
Basically, the hours I work depend on the day of the week but I work different days week-to-week. So what I was hoping for was to be able to program in a 'rule' that defines what constitutes 'work', depending on which day of the week it is and have it so that an alarm or multiple alarms go off a set period before the time I start work each day (to wake me up). Anyway, by having this pre-set rule, I was hoping that when a new rota becomes available at work, I would just be able to mark which days I was working and the calendar would automatically work out the hours etc.
I'm not sure if this is something most calendar apps are capable of or if it's a feature that just doesn't exist but so far my attempts to search for this have been fruitless, though maybe that's down to my choice of keywords or something...
In third place, what is, in all probability a fairly common question about syncing text/SMS messages to your PC. I have looked into this, I swear but there seems to be a lot of contradictory information out there, not to mention when I search the site, I seem to end up reading a lot of threads that are 2, 3 or even 5 years old.
This might sound a little sad but this plave is one of few fora where I can have a question and when I look or ask for an answer, I feel completely lost. So I suppose what I'm hoping for is for someone to come along, take me by the metaphorical hand and show me the solution suitable for half-blind, retarded chimpanzees, as I might just about be able to follow that...
Last up, I was wondering if anyone was aware of any Shoogle-like programs for the HD.
I've come across 'VibraNotify' by way of this thread, which I will be testing out soon but in case it doesn't quite do what I want, if there's anything similar out there that anyone's aware of, I'd appreciate the heads-up.
I really am sorry to waste people's time with questions like these.
I wish I could find all the necessary answers myself but, as I say, for some of them I can't seem to find any information and for others, I've found far too much.
I will be extremely grateful towards anyone who takes pity on me and is able to help out in any way, no matter how small.
Thanks.
Addressing your second question.
I am a long time user of Pocket Informant currently in version 8 and available for purchase or download a time limited trial at http://www.pocketinformant.com/
You can set up different "work" times for each day of the week.
Regards.
Ed
for the first point of your question, I also had some problems too with keyboard input so that maybe sometimes I wanted to type m and it actually pressed a (not exactly a common typo!)
I noticed that after a screen calibration problems were solved
start/settings/system/screen/Align screen button
hope it helps
alternatively, I can confirm that with Davideuck's v-5 and dutty's xtreme v1.9 ROMs I have never had typing problems

don't feel too bad, these are pretty advanced topics that i have not seen covered here
Regarding point 3;
as far as i know you can't sync SMS, tho you can back it up with PIM Backup
there is also MyPhone currently Beta
Apologies for starting this, and I'm sure that after several days of reading through thousands of pages of forum I might find the info.
However, I need the basic very important stuff ASAP so I can get on with life whilst trawling the forum.
My HD2 arrived yesterday morning, and I'm already discovering patches and stuff;
What do I NEED to do asap so that my phone will work nicely while I get used to it? - and then I can hack it to death at my leisure
One thing I haven't found yet, is how to turn on receipts for SMS - I know where the setting was on my old phone but can't find it here.
My last phone was TyTN II (the older one that doesn't tilt, no gps) - I am really really missing my keyboard, but I'll get use to it.
Easy question to answer. Essential reading first off is to find and read the "Hints & Tips" thread on here. Once done also read the "Don't start a new thread" one to give you some good info.
Also you will need to use this tool a lot...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all when searching the forums.
This should get you started. Remember virtually everything you may think of has almost certainly been mentioned on here so PLEASE search first.
Finally, please don't take this the wrong way, but please read the manual that is on the SD card. You would be amazed how many questions come up on here where the answers are to be found in the manual.
Good luck.

I am looking for something to automate my email settings after flashing. Sashimi seemed to be the software that would do the trick. Seems like it dropped off the face of the earth. Author is banned here and the winmob experts website that he moved to is gone altogether.
Anyone know if this software is still available or is there something that will do the same thing that is current.
Thanks
Paul
Am also wondering. Have the experts on xda transitioned to something other than Sashimi?
It's your lucky day, a guy just near there have posted a modified version :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9303770#post9303770
Disclaimer : I haven't tested this one, so i can't tell if it's crap or not...
Sashimi still standard??
Is Sashimi still the defacto standard being used ? I know SPBclone is the pro cloning/imaging sw, but i figured developers would constantly be tweaking a similar solution.
FYI some Tutorial Vids that might be of interest to anyone in my point in this learning curve. I found them of interest @ least These will have links to the rest available on Youtube
oops - seems as a new user i cant share the links w/u but search for 'winmoexperts' on youtube and u will see
thnx again all - site has been very educational
very nice, thank you buddy
Hello,
i noticed that a lot of apps out there for reading news - are extracting new from various sitesand put them in their app.
Is there an easy way to do this, in order to select which sites i would like the app to bring me the titles of articles, and then when i click on it to read the article?
I am not into programming at all, so i dont know how all this works, thus it may be a silly and easy question for some, but unfortunatley i couldnt find elsewhere an answer!
Thank you
