HTC-HD2-Camera-Pocket2Picture

Pocket to Picture is a handy feature on WP7 devices. You can click on the camera button to take photos even if you’ve locked your phone. There’s no need to unlock the device, enter the passcode, or launching the camera app. If the device is in your pocket / purse the feature is disabled. Check this WP7 Camera features Video to learn more. Now thanks to the effort of MilaCzeque from xda-dev, HD2 users can enjoy this feature :)

This little application starts phone’s camera when user press home button when the phone is locked. ( Only works with original non-customized lockscreen ). It is aware of proximity sensor status, so it won’t start camera in your pocket. Your HD2 has to be locked for this app to work. If the HTC HD2 display is switched off and your device is locked you have to click the Home button twice.

LeoCpuSpeed v3 – control cpu speed & overclock your HD2

. Saijo — Mon, 17 May 2010 09:58:25 +0000

LeoCPUSpeed

LeoCpuSpeed v3 is an app that lets you control cpu speed & overclock your HTC HD2

Features
– Updates CPU speed every half second (calculated from the processor registered directly! not from some driver)
– Can stress the CPU to show you that it goes up to 998mhz when it is at 768mhz
– Disable autoscaling so that you can control the speed yourself
– Select the speed you want by moving the slider or pressing 768/998 presets
– Automatically disable autoscaling and set speed at boot (via menu)
– Overclocking

Notes on auto-apply speed at startup
1) Disable autoscaling
2) Select the cpu speed you want
3) Menu > Apply speed at boot

Notes on overclocking
1) Obviously overclocking is completely at your own risk, as you could harm your device. Luckily, in most cases, your device will just lock up and you’ll need to restart your device (remove battery, re-insert and turn on again).
2) The green buttons were the overclock settings that have been succesful 9 out of 10 times. The orange speeds have been succesful like 5 out of 10 times. The red speeds have never worked for me yet.
3) The higher the speed, the more unstable. This is mainly because I don’t have a way to increase voltage of the core.
4) Overclocking only works on AC power! When on battery power, the overclock will work but will be undone within 500 milliseconds by the OS. Something within the OS, or a driver, or the radio rom, enforces the proper CPU speed every 500ms.

Zooomer – multitouch for all apps on HTC HD2

. Saijo — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 11:07:48 +0000

Zooomer enables “pinch to zoom” in the programs you want. The software scans all .exe on the device. Just select the app you want to bee zoom enabled and perform a softreset – here you go: the exe is enabled for pinch to zoom! Currently only user installed (and some few built in) applications can be “zooom-enabled”.

Thanks for the tip Alex

More Microsoft Employees confirms No WP7 for current WM handsets

. Saijo — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 08:02:33 +0000

Windows Phone 7

According to pocket-lint.com via WMPU Oded Ran, head of consumer marketing, Windows Phone UK made the following statement

“We’ve received many questions about the upgradability of HTC HD2 and we currently do not have plans to update the HTC HD2 to Windows Phone 7 Series”, Ran told us, hoping to draw a line in the sand over the will they or won’t they question, before going on to say.

“For Windows Phone 7 Series we are enforcing a strict set of hardware requirements to ensure a consistently great experience for end-users and developers…we cannot confirm that Windows Mobile 6.5 phones that satisfy those requirements will be upgradeable”.

So It looks like no Windows Mobile 6.5 device will be upgradable to Windows Phone 7. So is it a good thing ? will such strict hardware specification reduce the fragmentation issue and provide a better opportunity for developers and a better experience for consumers ?

No Windows Phone 7 upgrade for HTC HD2 – Official Info ?

. Saijo — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:18:53 +0000

windows_phone_7_series_htc_hd2

The guys from APC via WMPU got the chance to speak with Natasha Kwan, General Manager for Microsoft’s Mobile Communications Business in the Asia-Pacific region and despite the HD2 meeting many of the criteria laid down in Microsoft’s ‘Chassis 1’ spec – including a 1GHz Qualcomm processor, high-res capacitive touch display, 5 megapixel camera and 3.5mm headphone jack – the phone will be ruled out for the simple reason that it has five buttons instead of the three mandated for all Windows Phone 7 devices.

You got to be kidding me.. I can understand if there were a hardware limitation , I do get it 5 buttons instead of three is a hardware change but can that seriously be considered as a huge difference ?

UPDATE : There is also the possibility of a graphics chip that is missing in the HD2, which sounds like a fair reason to deny the upgrade.

Well I don’t know about the rest of you but I will NOT be upgrading to any WM6.5 devices .. What about you ?
