Greetings All,
this is my first windows mobile device ever (although i'm a .Net Developer)
i noticed one strange thing in my X1, whenever i shake the mobile i hear a sound like there is something inside the device (upper side) moving freely!
does anyone else have the same thing? or should i return the device for replacement?
Also mine!
And also other three device that I check.
So I think it's normal.
Herard that as well...but it was reportet only if you hold your X1 vlosely to your ear...
What you hear might be the vibrator.
All the X1's have it, I was also worried when I received mine and made a thread. Haven't found/spoke to one person who hasn't got it yet. One person rang them up and asked if it was supposed to be like that and was told it is, but still no idea why.
As previously said it could be the vibrator.
Well, ok then! but i wonder where it's comming from.
i will check it out when i open the device. but i don't want to void my warranty so soon
I think it's the optical joystick. Hold the phone upside down and listen.
The vibrator is placed in the opposite corner.
Hi.
I confirm, on mine, the sound comes from the optical joystick.
mine has it too, but it's not the optical joystick.
maybe an accelerometer?
no accelerometer. everyone has it i think. no need to worry.
nope, not the optical joystick.
im not worried about it any more.
I guess no one should be. the good thing is that time will reveal the truth about this.
if I came to know anything about this I will immediately post it here.
looooooooool
your "scary" sounds is from volume keys and camera button Take in hand blocking them and you can't ear anything (at least, on my device )
no camera or volume keys. It is from inside.
Anyway, it sounds like an orientation sensor, not necessarily an accelerometer, but who knows?
HTC did it, so it might be there waiting to be activated from drivers )))
Maybe SE has an Xmas surprise for us )))
I find it slightly irritating, as when I have the phone in a car holder it vibrates and makes an annoying rattling sound. I daren't open the phone up to find it, so I guess I'll just have to be irritated...

yeah, that's what I think it is.
all gadgets I have that do a similar sound, have a g-sensor inside...
let's hope the update comes soon, as we are with a really "beta" firmware currently :_>
No boy.
It's a simple noise. If you press the upper and bottom part (display and keyb) you can hear no sound.

i tried everything, but the sound didn't go away, until i saw your post!
yes, it's not there anymore!!!! but when you stop pressing, it comes back!
Yes, mine is exactly the same Got to be from the slider mechanism. Anyone got some pictures of it?
No need to worry....the first day i when i recived my x1 i also shaked it the whole day. But then I read in a german forum that this is the gearwheel of the slider...everyone in that forum also said that he had that ticking noise.
BUT
I have another problem with the slider.When I use the touchscreen (especially in the right upper corner) the screen drawback a bit and its like pushing a button because when i release the pressure it makes a little tick. i think this has to do with the mounting of the slider.

was at the service centre .. for other issues too.. they told me the rattle function is just the loose keys.. i got owned ! lol
Hello,
I have a Telus branded P4000. Since I had It,one LED in the bottom left of the screen that was always full on - so there was a brighter part always on my screen no biggie.
Today I took apart my phone to see why the DPad stopped working. After I put it back together (done it many times before), I noticed my dpad still not working, but my screen was uniform again?!?!?! no one bright LED. Nice. Take what you will from that.
After that my SD card stopped working. Is that a loose connection I can check? which connection would it be? (plan on checking it over again tomorrow).
Also is there a fix for the dpad not working? all the other hardware buttons work, just not the dpad.
I am guessing since you checked the connections that the dpad is just broken and will need to be replaced. Also you have one lcd with a backlight the bright spot is a manufacturing defect not one bright LED. Most of the time the bright spot will come back and get bigger.
yep I think you are right on the nose.
is there anywhere I can get a dpad?
will one from a titan, mogul or 6800 fit into my P4000? I'm guessing so just want to make sure.
and if you have hook ups let me know
Any pad other than a xv6800 pad will work.
thanks go one on order now
So still no d-pad.
Got a brand new one. Still no d-pad, every other button around it works no problem. But the d-pad does nothing. I can feel it push, but nothing happens.
Is this a software issue? I don't want to wast money on this if it's not going to fix it
Hi all,
Has anyone seen the top side of the HTC HD2? I tried to see in the official website and also in youtube videos but think there are no notification lights like the HTC Touch HD. I find it very useful in the Touch HD, saving it from taking it out of the pocket and pouch.
-
Other than that, it's a nice device plus micro usb now read on BBC that they are going universal in mid 2010: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8323018.stm "The charger has a micro-USB port at the connecting end, using similar technology to digital cameras".
Mayb like the kaiser next to the earphone...
Like xmoo said, it is on the left of the earphone. I have seen two videos on YouTube where you can see a green LED which blinks.
edit:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCgBe2quYMk @ 0:25 take care of the upper left
edit2:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBlAjD4ZKr8 - here it seems to glow red permanently
i'd guess the permanent red glowing would be due to the phone being on charge
Very nice, didn't notice that in the videos! =) Thanks!
As I don't possess a HTC HD...what are the notifications usually for (red, green, blinking,..)?

The EU forced the manufactures to agree on one universal connector by (I think) 2010 or sth. . I think that was about 1-2 years ago. So if microUSB is the universal one, than probably every device will have that in the near future.
Just saying that, because it seems like everyone is kinda (positively) surprised that all the new devices have microUSB now =)

Blinking green for missed event (SMS, mail, reminder)
Solid green when fully charged and connected to external power source
Blinking red for critical battery
Solid red for charging
Off for anything else (i.e. it doesn't indicate signal reception status in any way)

was true on the HD as the light was on top, but since the HD2 has the light on the front, you still have to take it out of the pouch to see the notification.

Some people are surprised plus it's been a while. But I think this is great, don't need to carry the charger if it's universal when travelling also for those who read the news will know it will be very good for the environment.

You are right, unfortunately we will still need to take it out of the pouch now. There is nothing on the top, I would of thought a lot of people found that useful in the Touch HD although the led was very small but still useful
This thread can be closed.
it wouldnt have helped if it was in the top, since the 3.5 output is at the bottom hence most people will have the top downwards

I do like the idea of having the output at the bottom which is what I wanted in first place (makes it harder for dust to get in when in pouch) but having the lights at the top should of remained because when you are listening to music you would have your headphones in and if there was a sms or call you would hear it in your ear piece.

he means you'd hear the notification sound for the txt/call through the headphones
yes, but how would that help if the light was on the top? ... I mean from the point of view that you're listening to music... but if not, then I understand... had to wake up a bit

It's a voluntary thing, which is why it's surprising - HTC loves ExtUSB.
Who cares about a dedicated notification light ?, the HD2 has illuminated buttons which could be programed to show notifications. Much more efficient.
That's nt red it's orange.
Orange on HTC means charging.
Red is low battery.
Hope just like the kaiser notification, we'll be able to edit the led colours as how we want them.
Just wondering, how fast does the proximity sensor react? Does it turn on also when u move it away from ur ear?
In my HD, its pretty slow, and if i remember correctly i even had to install an aditional cab to make it turn back on.. I remember using an iphone and the second i took it away from my ear, before i had a chance to have the device in eye sight, the screen was on already..
how is this with the leo?
Your HD doesnt have a proximity sensor, it uses a light sensor? I think.
The HD2 one is PERFECT! put the to you ear, screens off instantly, take it away and the screen comes back on.
I would echo the fact that the sensor is perfect on the HD2. In fact, I think it's even a little better than 'instant'. For example, if I switch ears quickly, the screen doesn't turn on (exactly what I want), but if I take the phone away from my ear, by the time I've focused my eyes on the screen, it's on and ready for input. Works like a charm!
I'm not sure I'd say it's perfect. For instance, mine doesn't seem to work in the dark (i.e. in a dark room, outside at night, etc.) which is exactly the time I'd like it to work the most.
good to know that!
on the HD i have to wait a good 1-2 seconds for it to turn on, and its annoying what ur ready to go and input something, but u actually are waiting for the screen to turn on..
closer to the Leo..
My (old!) HD is slow too and I gave up trying to use the screen blanking because it also turned off and stopped me from entering key presses to access menu items in the call systems - even when away from my face.
My HD2 is faultless . Works exactly as designed as far as I can see and I have had many phones. If you are considering the HD2 then I would have no hesitation in recommending it.

im not evaluating, it was just out of curiosity, the only thing stopping me from getting the HD2 since day 1 is my current economical status .. im a phone lover also but its still good to know what its improved since the HD.
Hi all, I absolutely love the HD2. However, I find one really annoying problem about the "auto LCD shut off between dialing and after a call is connected, and this has been really driving me crazy! I'm not sure why no one has mentioned about this, is it because it is my problem of mis-using it or no one has bothered to voice it up?? I apologized if this has been posted but I couldn't find one solution so far.
It is about the auto LCD shut off sensor feature while making a call. My English is not that good, my mother tongue is Chinese, I will try my best to describe the problem written in English. I've tried so many cooked roms, all have the same old frustrating issue. After when I've dialed a number, as most ppl do, I will put the phone near my ear while waiting for the call to get connected. However, in the process while making the call while the phone is near my ear, the LCD will shut off by itself, and when a call is connected, the annoying issue will occur! When a call is connected, the LCD will turn back on by itself even though the phone is still in tack with the ear, as a result, part of our face will make contact on the screen and very often pressing one of the on-screen buttons! Also, it is not only this problem will happen after a call is connected, during a process of calling or during a conversation, if there is a notification prompted out, for example, a sms have been received, or a email has been received or low battery notification, the LCD will always turn back on and make the face accidentally press on one of the on-screen button, this is really annoying, is there a solution to let the sensor shut off the LCD for good until the phone has really get away from the ear and the face???
It's not a problem
It's an advantage
HTC did that to prevent you from touching anything with your ear and you cheek and maybe without this you could end the call accidentally or lunching apps so and so .....
Some people have found that this happens when their screen protector is too close or covering the sensor. Cutting away a small ammount of the screen protector to make sure it doesn't interfere with the sensor seems to be the answer.
Not sure you have read his question correctly - it turns off when he puts it to his head, which he wants, but then it turns back on again when the call connects.
I have the same problem, (incidentally had the same problem with a Diamond and Omnia II with Tachi phone canvas). Only solution was to breifly move it away from your head and back again, which I just got used to.
No idea how to solve it though. Sorry.
[APP] Proximity Sensor for Screen Off v0.2
Maybe you should look for this little app, it could work for you.
I can't post links, so make a search inside xda, there's a topic with that title.....
