After reading a lot of threads i am quite confused with the "phone" issue as it is not clearly described anywhere.
Ok, i've understood that phone functionality is possible but...
Can we make calls?
Does it work well?
What issues do we have with making calls?
Is it fully working?

Yes, yes, none, yes.
Only problem is that you cannot use any headset.

Can we make calls in a phone-ish way (device to ear) or do we need to use speakerphone?
Forgive me if my questions sound stupid but i dont have a shift yet.
There is no internal speaker
WHen using the HTC Shift to make calls, you must always enable speakerphone (some roms do it automatically)
So there's no way of having a private conversation with your Shift,
unless you really are alone in the room, train, planet.
There were some people trying to get the earphone working, but since
GSM calling was released, nothing happened above the surface.
The headphone + mic is important as it completes GSM calling feature.
phoneless almost

Too bad would really to use it as a primary phone.
Where are we on headset connectivity?
Do we have any clue on how to implement it?

I was working on it, but then some kind of bounty bounced for doing this, so I gave up to leave the team of bounty hunters work for this.
Seriously, I might have some time for this in september.
Is that really a reason you stopped ? If so , I will put out a bounty to stop all other bounties... So I'll pay everyone off to let you do your magic

No, I just started a huge project for work that I'll finish in two weeks.
I can do it all!!!
Hey i could make calls, using a headset, and even using a bluetooth headset!!!
My Shift takes no more then 400mb ram and can even play back 720HD movies.
Music sounds great on it and the battery! well what can I say, the battery lasts for 9 hours on a single charge!!!!!
I am also using the SD card on the WM side and running Tomtom7!!!!
oh wait
then i woke up with a wet patch on my PJ's damn it was only a wet dream!!!!!!

Any news on this thaihugo? I'd slip a fiver into your paypal account if you got this working!
EDIT: Ok so bounty at the moment is:
vinokirk: £5
Josap: £5

Total £10
Come on Thaihugo, imagine that £10 burning a hole in your paypal account!
word, same here
Josap, maybe you can change the title of this thread to:
'Headset phone function, do we have it or not? !!!Bounty now £10!!!'
or something!?
last time there was a bounty, I decided NOT to work on the subject
I would hate seeng someone grab it before me...
Seriously, I have no more time for this anymore, But if somebody makes a breakthrough, I can help.
Well in my case could donate you for the work you put in and promise i woulnt give it to someone else

Could you at least tell us how far you got?
Do you still have your Shift?
So let me get this right. At the moment we can:
a)Use the loudspeaker of the Shift to hear people, and
b)Use the mic to speak to people.
Basically its like a regular phone on loudspeaker, am I right? Can you plug in headphones and hear the person your speaking to and talk to them with the mic
And the ultimate goal would be to either:
a)get a wired 3.5mm earpiece+mic working,or
b)get a bluetooth headset+mic working
Now some questions:
1)Thaihugo when you said 'i might have some time for this in september', were you going to look at wired or Bluetooth headset conectivity? Where were you going to start looking?
2)Is the 3.5mm socket a plain 3.5mm socket that will just outputs sound or is it the special type that also allows the input of audio?
3)Is the 3.5mm socket useable for audio output on the WM side? i.e. if you listen to an mp3 thru WMP on the WM side, can you hook up some headphones and the sound will come out.
If you could have a look at my questions and answer them to the best of your knowlege that would be great! I havent got my Shift yet but I am serious about trying to improve it. The main thing for me is SD card access. I woud like to know as much info about that as possible, to find out where people have got with it.
The connector supports a mic/headset as it is also included. However it is only usable on Vista side for apps ie Skype.
SD access is unlikely but in the unlikely event that it would be possible we would most likeley get WiFi too since as it is a SDIO card.
As I said in another post, I still have the shift but no time for this. And also, I'm not part of the people who received more than 3000$ for this job. And no, I don't want any bounty, I'm just fed up to take the interim for a shift project that never delivered a think, and just complained when I released anything before their supposed "nearly ready" roms.
If you start a group of your own, and make signficant breaktrough, I will happily jump in it and help. But searching alone, for Saiweb or me, has it's limit. Cmonex is not a rom developer, she is more on the SPL radio side, pof seems to be off the shift forum. This product is aging. Try and think if you really want to involve in it's customisation.
I've posted some other post recently where I state that Shift team has delivered beyond expectation. Reading this, I'd say : Due to many efforts from many people , the Shift got functionality beyond expectations. Dunno who's who anymore.
The Shift deserves SD access and BT. Like BattleStar Galactica deserved a remake.

Yes I am sure i want to start developing for the Shift! Imagine if I and other said the same thing you did about old cars, take my dads 1949 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, if we had said that about them then there woud be none left!
Could you perhaps PM me how far you got. Were you looking at the bootloader, hardware etc. Seriously any help would be appreciated

I tried Resco Recorder, simply put, does not work.
I tried Vito Audio Notes, its also not working.
Any news on this? I am desperately in need of this to record argue converstation with gf because she likes to turn things around.
No possibility of recording calls on HTC devices simply because of legal issues they wanted to restrict it by making the drivers route the calls not through the OS and that's the main reason for not able to have an auto-answering machine software also.
I love Symbian for this reason alone.

Get a new g/f dude but if you really think a recorder will solve the problem,it may be time to get a new you...lol. just kidding dude and good luck
I loved being able to record convos on my Treo 755p. I would be going back to it but I like GPS on the mogul too much.
Sounds like you need a saner girlfriend and not spy software

Don’t worry as soon as we understand any female SHE WILL MORPH AGAIN !!
4th and 20 from your own 5........PUNT!!!
I don't think it is a legal issue as someone posted. Many states allow you to record calls as long as at least 1 member of the party is aware, some states require more than 1.
I know my last PPCPE the wizard allowed me to record calls. Recording calls is not only for spying. I used mine alot when someone was giving me a phone number and I didn't want to go through the whole crap of opening the notepad, selecting free text etc.
It just seems the Mogul overall has been a dissapointment with me. I was HTC's biggest fan when the produced the first XDA for T-Mo with a 3.5" screen
RANT...
Talking about 3.5" screens what happened to them. I've literally stopped using all office mobile apps ever since they shrunk the screen down to 2.4 Excel Mobile is a pain. Pwoerpoint is manageable and Word...Well word mobil is only realistic with a device with a keyboard. I loved using transcriber but there is so little room to write on the 2.4" screen.
Are there any rumours of any 3.5" PPCPE in the works?

The only reason yu think the 3.5" were big is because you've become accustomed to the 2.4".
After the death of the handheld PC in the late '90's and bisth of the PPC. People couldn't belive that PPC's could be as small with their 4" screens. Then the 3.5" came and we were like wow, they shrunk it even more.
I personally think the reason HTC ditched the 3.5" was because PPC's had been regarded as business computers and in order to gain or expand their market niche they brought them down to the siz of cell phones.
Apple has brought the 'BIG' screen back with the iPhone. Since they seem to set fashion trends I'm hopefull.

GrandCentral
One way is to use GrandCentral. You press 4 during the call. May not work well for an angry gf though because it announces that it is being recorded. You'll also have a new phone number. I have my grandcentral line forwarded to my mogul. Lots of features. I know this probably won't work for you but it is the only think I know of for recording that works well.
http://www.grandcentral.com
Thanks for all the "trying" to help guys. I really need this because gf keep changing her mind and story. I need something to show her that.."this is what you said 5 mins ago".....I am going nuts with this. And you know that girls also like to turn story around and make it as if it is your fault. Well need to record those too to study the psychology behind it.
I really like my mogul (had it about 2 weeks now) but the fact of the matter is I can barely read the screen! I put it on largest text size, and that works for some things, but not for many others. Everyone is not 21 years old! Time for designers to realize that.

Well, you may need glasses, my friend... And no, I am not 21 either
Please be kind to me as this is my first post on XDA although I have been reading and utilizing these forums for quite some time. If this question has already been addressed, please let me know. I have already searched the forum and was unable to find anything on the subject but perhaps I wasn't as diligent as I could have been.
I left my G1 on the roof of my car and it fell off and was run over by a car. I already ordered a new one which will arrive in two days (I do nightly nandroid backups so all is well in that department). I would, however, like to donate the crushed G1 to one of the developers on this site so that they can salvage it for parts. Believe it or not, I was actually able to boot to the recovery screen and do a wipe (Alt-W). Obviously I could not see this as the screen is crushed but it rebooted after I hit Back+Home so I am pretty certain that there are some valuable working parts for someone who knows what they are doing.
I have taken advantage of the ROMs on this forum for awhile (Kavana's WinMo 6.1) as well as How-To posts (Apps2SD, Rooting G1, Nandroid, MAM, etc.) and countless other posts to keep my phone in perfect working order, and would like to give at least a little back to the hard working developers here. I would like a moderator to assist me in getting the phone into the hands of the right developer. I am sure it has some value to someone. I am pretty certain that the motherboard is in working condition as well as the keyboard and various other parts (it still vibrates on boot). I don't know much about hardware as I am largely a developer and a user. I don't want to take it apart only to find out that I have ruined what was once a good part. Ebay was an option but I figure that I will actually get more value out of donating it since XDA is literally my lifeline and smartphones would just plain suck without this site.
Please reference the attached photos. Sorry they are not so great. They were taken on my Dash because I was too lazy to take out my good camera.
Post replies here and we can go from there.
Thanks,
Aaron

Amazon sells them as well for about $7 + $3 for shipping.. OEM, safe..never had issues..
I am keeping the battery which still works. Now I have three! The battery door is crushed too. My goal is for the phone to better not just one person in need of parts but the community in general. If a developer can use this to help out the rest of us it will have been worth it. Like I have stated, I am not sure what use it will be but I am sure that someone out there can utilize it for the benefit of the rest of us.

A battery from HTC directly (after they first tried to deny my warranty status) is 37, shipping included.
As for a crushed device, I should try to find one in that condition since emulator will not run on my laptop. More or less the process goes make a program or update, open my sd card, load it, try it, improve it on the computer, delete the sd card copy, move the new one... very agravating.
Not to mention if you plug the device into the computer right, you can load your device AS the emulator (but I don't really want to do that to my "daily driver")
I would like to suggest a moment of silence to honor your G1.

The ones you are talking about are on either side of the phone when you take the cover off. There are corresponding spots on the cover. Mine are a silver color.

The HTC carkit mount comes with a special battery door cover, that the mount snaps into, and also connects through...so it's just a guess (I don't have the carkit myself), but I'd think those are the pins that the car mount uses to pass data, or current for charging

Yes, i would say the same thing. I would guess they are for the car kit because the base of the car kit has power running through it

Lets now leave the Emotional part and get to the Fun Tech Part.
I did find out by talking to T-Mobile Rep Tier 2, it "Is" a Test port, has communication I/O, and can be used for Kar Kit with BlueTooth/bottom micro USB port.
The "Test port" is what I am interested because if you can talk using USB architecture then you can do other things with it? example; Robotics, card readers, Web Cams and many more?, I have been reading the Registry for any clues, or Info on this? That is why I brought up this topic?
The "Test port" is used at factory for reliability testing in a burn-in chamber that they use for getting faulty units out of the mix?
This is what I have so far? if anyone else can add pertinent info it will be greatly appreciated.

That is not an apology, it's an excuse.
You did manage to make my ignore list though. Congratulations!
Yeah, those spots are where the back cover used with the car kit connect to the car kit. I never heard of them being used for anything else, but it might be possible. I think power and audio can be sent through those. It also tells the HD2 to go into the navipanel when carkit is connected to it. When looking through the registry, look around the navipanel stuff. It would be cool if we could find some more uses for that port.
More info
I was told that the center tab is data negative and the left tab is data positive and they use case for ground, now I need to figure out how the USB interface works with this? I have been searching the T-Mobile USA HTC HD2 threads for info, but have not found anything? will try the other HD2 original thread to see if anything there can help?
Maybe there is a ROM list of commands supported somewhere to help in the communication interface,
I rigged a 3 wire interface for monitoring only I don't want to put any signals in yet until I understand how it is working?and I am using a program called Boxcar to send signals out of which I can see changes but have yet to determine exact output? This is going to take some time?
Boxcar is a WM2003 program but seems to work with WM 6.5 and is good to use because of the wide variety of interfaces it can use withe the USB transceiver module, Temperature probes, pressure transducers and DAC's Digital to Analog Converters, I also have a serial module but I don't want to go that way? USB is the preferred faster interface.
But ultimately my goal is to make my own Kar Kit interface with a greater amount of control of what it does?
I had already built an Interface that works well with the Ford Sync interface on my car (I use to work for a company that built TED Air condition seats for Ford so I am familiar with the system), but that is using my Laptop and I would like to do the same using only the HD2? Baby steps.
I don't know if anyone here has the knowledge about the HD2 to help me? as it's a new device and info is minimal? I may have to wait until that info level is reached?

Good Grief,
You need one of those things in your post saying "Do not try this at home" I can see it now all these folks sautering wires to the backside of their phones.... And then saying "my phone just smoke checked, what do I do"
Can anyone here please for the love of god tell me how to get my damned computer running Window's Xp 03 to detect this HD2. I picked it up for my friend and it was already running Android but all the guys info, pic's and email is still locked into the phone and no clear data doesn't work. I need to access the file that holds all of this and delete it. You can call or skype me and I'll be happy to pay someone to walk me through this. Its worth it to me not to waste anymore time or stress and get him outta my hair.
Jason
Hey there, judging by your area code you are in SC...but where in SC? I'm in Florence...if you are local, I could possibly help you out in person.
I'm in Myrtle Beach, I actually go the hd2 to connect to my macbook and I can make out the files on the sd card I simply don't know which folder contains the personal info stuff, I don't wan to delete the android stuff. Although there is one file called android.

Have you uninstalled your antivirus and, then, connected the phone for autodetect? Everytime I flash... the same problem...

I haven't but I will, right now I have the access I need oddly enough via macbook first try I just need to remember what folder I delete that removes the gmail adress and all the info. I'm copying them all over to my desktop and I guess I'll just delete them one by one.
I will gladly pay someone 50 dollars to fix this garbage for me I'm sick of this phone and ready to wipe my butt with it. Mainly because i tried deleting a file and upon restart now it won't detect there is an sd card which there is. I don't get how easy this is for you guys.

If you wouldn't delete a file on your computer unless you were REALLY sure you knew what you were doing... DON"T DO IT ON YOUR PHONE! untill you're sure. Just a rule I live by...
P.S. For goodness sake don't mess with the registry!

Why don't you just start from scratch... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843221
Honestly I don't have time to start from scratch and i don't understand any of this mess. I work 2 jobs and hacking or modding is not my forte. You want me to rebuild a motor and I can do it blind folded but this is your world and not mine and I'm experienced enough to know that.
You bought a phone that is modded and you call it a piece of crap. Do a hard reset and use the stock ROM if you don't want to mod it.
If you bought a computer that had the wrong OS would you call it a piece crap too? Don't blame the phone blame the mod that the person you bought it from.
NO mensa candidate with an obvious lack of reading comprehension. I'm upset with the situation of not being able to delete the guys info off the phone. Obviously I wanted it modded if I bought it modded and I've stated I wanted it modded. I'm not blaming anyone except you for adding your useless input into this thread.
Master of the Obvious
This is a problem I see often with people who want to do Technology savvy stuff without the disciplines and background in Technology whatever it is?
(At the very least make the Effort to know the Basics)
That is why Apple products exist for? I always hear Mac people insult Windows products! and its always for the same reason? "Severe Ignorance of Technology!"
That is why Grandmothers can use Macs!
"Distinctions without Differences is Master of the Obvious"
The only real advice I can give you is...
Stop Whining and "Man-Up" to the task at hand! Relax and use your brain for which it was intended for? "Reasoning" you are very fortunate to have found XDA, but "most" of the people here are for the advancement and self-Teaching of Technology! You are not going to find more Intelligent Tech Savvy people than on XDA!
Now for the Master of the Obvious things?
make sure that you have described the problem with enough detail for someone to help you! and hopefully you previously have taken the time and effort to do a "Search" on your problem! but if you are like many I see here and want everyone to hold your hand for something you are too slothy to do yourself? Then hope that someone here is Altruistic enough to help you? Remember you have spent more energy whining about the problem than....
Back up everything using either MS MyPhone or SPB Backup?
and then you can reinstall the HD2 with what you want on it?
Good Luck
Sent using my HD2
Wow hd2shadow, thank you so much for your useless input as well as the anonymous insults. Its really easy to make fun of someone or put them down when they're not in front of you. I'd probably do the same thing if I were you so no worries. I don't know you anymore than you know my but you seem like a real *****.
I am not a Mac fan boy nor am I putting anything down. I'm using a Mac because I'm in the middle of a move and do not have access to my Windows operated desktop. I build half a million dollar race cars for a living. I highly doubt I'm severely ignorant of technology as you put it.
Compute that while you rail your Steve Jobs blow up doll with a hacked HD2 balls deep in your ass, best of luck.
$100 to anyone that will walk me through this, last two ******s excluded.
So are you talking about on android? If you can get it to sync to your mac just access the file on the SD card "android" then remove data.img give your phone a nice little reboot and you can set android back up per your settings with no previous data.

Ok, so let me try to understand then. You bought a phone that was modded with a ROM that wasn't made for you're phone, you don't have the time or desire how to get it to work and you don't want to hard reset the phone and start from scratch?
Yeah I must have been talking out my a**
odds are I fixed it.

Actually it easier when they are in front of me! Its how I prefer it. And if you have not figured out why people here cant help you is because you don't give enough information to deduce what the problem is and how to fix it? I purposely put all that you posted because just maybe you might learn what the problem is here?

You get more Flies with Honey than Vinegar! If you change your attitude you might? not have to pay? But if you READ what you posted below you might understand why they might not jump at that savory opportunity?
Lets Try Again but this time Leave out the unnecessary, and focus on details of the problem. I get tired of guys like you here! that why I unloaded on you!

Ok I am bored now....
Thank You to CyanPrinter for helping me getting this issue resolved. Also thank you z33dev33l your simple idea would have solved the issue as well. I unfortunately stopped reading before you posted it due to the two **** sticks that needed to turn the thread into an "Internet Pissing Contest". I appreciate the help from either of you. Thank god there are tech savy people our there that aren't complete douche bags every chance they get to people that are not.
Fyi. hd2shadow I find it hilarious that you had to run your **** sucker like you did yet you had not clue with your infinite experience how to fix the issue. Yet the people that took know issue with me did in less than one sentence. Maybe your just a pretender who's obviously got a self worth complex. Either way keep lurking and being confrontational to people for no reason on the internet. We all know what would happen if you ran your mouth like this face to face with someone. Which is exactly why you do it here.
The phone is quite big - I have to ask you this question!
I talk with the device itself. It's actually quite comfortable in the hand and easy to hold with the shoulder. And nobody's said anything or cared. I'll never understand how some people can be so vain as to worry about what what strangers might think when seeing you using a phone that's larger than the norm. For one, who gives a flying fukk about what others think, and for two, it's not like others are going to think anything bad. If I saw someone walking down the street talking on a phone that was 2 feet tall, I wouldn't think "Oh that person sucks, I don't want to associate with them.", I'd think "Hey, that's pretty neat! You don't see that every day." And anyways, the Note's not thaaat big.
I put other since there were no option to choose multiple selections. I would use my Jawbone Era bluetooth headset if I had it with me & I would use the device when I didn't have my headset with me.
I don't know yet. Getting my note tomorrow. have 24h to figure it out
I use my Jabra Bluetooth headset all the time.. however, I occasionally used the phone itself and its great

I have yet to notice anyone noticing that I'm using a big phone, and I frequently call in public areas. I admit, though, I stopped paying attention after the first week. Nobody seems to care.
- Frank
It is quite the opposite for me as everyone notices whenever I answer my phone but I don't care as I love this device.
