On google maps my pointer is 90 degrees off.
How can I calibrate? I used the calibration tool in Smart Compass Pro app but this doesn't seem to have done the job.
Thanks,
Joe
See if this will work:

can you have the screen automaticaly rotate according to the way you hold the phone in your hand (landscape or portrait ) on an HTC TOUCH ?
does the touch have the necesary hardware for this and is there a third party app out there for it ?
thanks
ps: funny how I have this feature on my Canon SD750 digital camera but I do not have it on my pocket pc...
not it require hardware support
software is really kinda like a recipi for what actions should be given when input
comes and the hardware is the input
that's what I thought...too bad.
thank you for your fast reply Rudegar
Possible temp solution
Install Spb Pocket Plus 4 or something that will give you a rotate screen app. Then install fTouchFlo (with config program) and change the up - down gesture to run the screen rotate app. (Any app you can equip to the buttons in settings can be found and set in FTouchflo Config)
Just a thought.
Hope this helps..PS the free version of fTouchFlo can be found on the forum.. Then you can rotate the screen with a quick up - down gesture.

thanks for the tip diigibio but it still not what I'm looking for.
what you are suggesting is very similar to placing and small icon on your today sreen for screen rotation.
i wanted the "automatic" rotation that the iPhone and my Canon SD750 have.
I guess it's the "cool" factor
thanks again though.
I'm affraid you'll have to buy an Iphone then!! LOL As I asume they have some kind of tilt sensor (something like the old mercury switch/just more updated)
Ahh, well pal. Good Luck..

Maybe create something that detects movement from the mike input? or sudden alteration of signal reception?

interesting....any developers around ?
How about that camera motion-detecting project (there's a thread on it somewhere)? That looks interesting.

You know I was just thinking about that myself as MS seems to be working on camera motion detection for use with WM7 (Or so rumoured) . PLESTIUC have you got motionapps mVisualVoicemail. It's pretty good, I'm set with 3UK.
Good Luck

I'm using CallWave (free) but Sprint charges me 20 cents per fowarded call. I'll have to cancel the service even though it's pretty cool...emails you the voicemail attachment and also sends you a text transcription of the voicemail (not very accurate but good enough)
Well mate, I think it's only a matter of time. And by that I don't mean WM7, I mean something released on this forum.
In the mean time, enjoy every other iPhone feature here (if you like that stuff). It's amazing!

nice thinking but from what i think, your screen would automatically start to rotate as you're walking around under trees or through buildings and different rooms.
will this iphoneish screen rotation thingy work for the t mobile wing? if so where could I get it and do I go about installing it...thank u
in 2006 i bought on eBay in honk kong a phonewho have this hardware detection !
so apple dont image it !
rofl guys even nokia 5500 sport and some kinda older model of samsung had accelerometers, it's quite old technology, but now i even heard people calling an ordinary accelerometer a "Gravity sesnsor" stupid iphone madness
Hi!I'm using x1i ROM R2A.
I don't know why i try to download some sensor application from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430541.I installed on device memory but i can't use it,Eg: i installed the game "8 ball magic",then i try to shake a lot of time but no thing happen .I search on google and i see X1 have senior chip,So why i can't use any sensor application?
And another thing is i don't know what is "Managed Programs" in Setting/system of x1.I see it alway show "no managed program have been installed".Can someone tell me about this menaged programs and where can i download it?
Thank u so much
the x1 does not have an accelerometer. Perhaps the sensor that u read about, is the ambient light sensor
Here's the topic on managed applications:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1886475
Guess how I found it? ) GOOGLE !!! Our f%$^*&d up search engine doesn't do anything.
As for the sensor, otakuspeedvibe is right, we don't have an accelerometer unfortunately.
Thank u about your information !

can u tell me which version of TomTom works ok?
Thx
the one I use is version 7, smart phone edition
I got TomTom installed but i wait for ever to get a satellite lock.
And I never do.How long do i have to wait to get a lock?
What settings are we supposed to set in order for it to work. My HD locks in 2 seconds when sitting next to my Snap.
Also is there a quick GPS app in the Snap?I couldnt find it.
Thx

I just hope i never get your problem with mine. Im getting one in a couple of days. One of the reasons why im upgrading from my dash is so i don't have to use my bluetooth gps.
Wish me luck!
EDIT:
Well I got my phone and I've got the problem. I wait forever and i never get a lock!! What should I do?
EDIT:
Yay it works now . It was pretty obvious to fix it in the end (If it is called fixing) There is a program called quickgps in the startmenu. Press download and it downloads details about the satellite so its easier for the gps to get a lock. I have only walked around testing it and it seems to be working good so far
Can someone tell me if there is a way to check whether or not the sensors are working?
Thanks

Just about any sensor info app can. I can't think of any off top of my head but there are plenty
You can use the test menu try *#7353# or *#0*# in the phone dialer, that should give you a hardware test menu. Works on the G950F
Thanks for the help, found an app.
my pocket mode doesn't work. when i put my finger over the sensor, the pocket mode would not be activated. Also when i do calls. The display won't switch to black.. Anyone knows more info about that?
Thanks Paper
