HTC Legend :: Compass And AR Applications

Apr 25, 2010

Just got my legend this friday and very happy about it until now.

I have some trouble with apps using the compass though:

When the Legend lies flat on a table there is no problem in finding North and South. When I turn the phone the compass needle stays. (Using the Compass app from the Market). But when I pick up the phone and hold it vertical (this is required for most Augmented Reality applications) it only points at South. And it's very annoying.

This happens with Google Street View Compass mode, Layar, Google Sky Map and the Compass application. I haven't tried other programs.

So is there something wrong or does something need calibration?

What I have tried till now:
- Waved the phone in an 8 shape for a while.
- Calibrated the G-Sensors.
- Tried in different locations making sure nothing magnetic is near by.
- Tried tipping the back of the phone.

HTC Legend :: Digital Compass

Jul 22, 2010

It's listed in all the specs I've seen on multiple sites, including on the official home page for the Legend: HTC - Products - HTC Legend - Specification

But for the life of me, I can't find it on my phone. It's definitely not listed under Programs. Does anyone have a clue? Where could it have gone if it's a default, built-in feature? Pardon my ignorance but this is the first smartphone that I've used and I was keen on using this feature to impress friends...

HTC Legend :: Applications Not Accessing Internet On 3G / EDGE

Jun 10, 2010

I just bought a Legend and am loving it for the most part. But I have one big problem - apps are not accessing the internet when not on WiFi. I have Vodafone, and the EDGE connection (we don't have 3G in India yet) works in the Internet browser, but none of the apps (twitter, facebook, nytimes, kayak) work on EDGE. Is there something I need to change in permissions or settings? All these apps have full internet access in their permissions, so I don't get why they are not working.

HTC Legend :: Hidden / Protected Applications In Market Place

May 1, 2010

I know that google market blocks protected apps from non-authorized devices like the legend and I've done lots of searching in this forum and other sites but could someone please reiterate: any timeframe for this to be sorted? Or what's the best workaround? Is there a site we can download apks for (example) layer and install that way? Or is it easier/quicker to mod the phone so it works in marketplace?

HTC Legend :: Cracked Legend Screen

Aug 3, 2010

Cracked the screen! It only fell from my lap onto the centre console of the car, I have made it noticeable in the photo but you can hardly see it when the backlight is on. I will fix it soon, but I'll need a detailed guide on how to do it, I have seen some forums on how to do it but it doesn't seem that easy. I'll need a digitizer from fleebay & some tools, unless someone on the forums can do it?

HTC Legend :: Legend Camera Quality

May 16, 2010

I am pleased with the Legend, but at times things come up that confuse me somewhat. Recently a friend and I were taking photos and I thought it would be interesting to compare camera quality of her BB Curve 8900 with my HTC Legend. Below are the photos.

HTC Legend (5 MP, 2592 x 1944 pixels, autofocus, LED flash):
(Larger original photo: http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7929/htclegend.jpg)
BB Curve 8900 (3.15 MP, 2048x1536 pixels, autofocus, LED flash):
(Larger original photo: http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/5946/bbcurve8900.jpg)

Is it just me or is something wrong here? (Forgive me naivety!) Also, could it be that I need to fine tune some settings or something? I hope somehow I can improve these shots.. the Legend's assumed superior camera was one of its main attractive characteristics for me!

HTC Legend : Can HTC Legend Shoot HD Video?

Nov 2, 2010

Does the stock "Camcorder" app shoot HD, or do I need another app. Is it even possible with the camera in the HTC Legend. Since it's 5MP, same as iPhone 4, which can also shoot HD, so I'm hoping yes?

HTC Legend : Need Legend + Bluetooth Headset

Mar 25, 2010

I have a Sony-Ericsson Bluetooth headset which I used for several years with my previous phone. I wanted to pair it with my new Legend, but for some reason when I press Scan for devices in the Bluetooth setup, my PC shows up, my neighbor's Nokia shows up, but the headset never appears. I thought that Bluetooth devices were pretty universal; shouldn't my Legend see this headset and pair with it without problem?

HTC Legend :: Way To Tell A Legend Is Switched Off / Not

Jun 2, 2010

On every phone i have had for many years now, pushing any of the buttons whilst the phone's screen is off activates the screen briefly (usually just showing the clock or prompting for the screen unlock). This is both useful for ensuring the phone is switched on but is just as useful for ensuring the phone is switched off (night, meetings, flights, cinema etc).

The only way of activating the screen to check the Legend's on/off status appears to be to push the power button. However, if the phone is off, this simply switches the phone on! This strikes me as being a completely daft design decision.

So, is there any way of checking that a Legend is off without switching it on and then off again?

(Yes, i know there are silent, flight safe, meeting and other modes...)

Samsung Galaxy S :: Best Compass App

Sep 24, 2010

my wife wants a compass app on her phone (I think this is so she knows which way to walk to the most expensive shops, and becuase her friends with iPhones have them ).... as it appears that there is not one on the SGS, can anyone reccommend the best one to download? I presume that they are all as accurate as each other, but are there any that have any nice additional features?

HTC Droid Eris :: Compass And Map

Mar 6, 2010

I noticed that when I am lookinh at google map (satellite or normal), when I turn the phone the map will not stay to point to the same direction. It turns with the phone. Is this the way it should be?

I also downloaded the Compass application. and it behaves kind of wierd: holding the phone horizonally, I turn around. The compass should keep pointing to the north regardless how I turn. Mine is all over the place. If I point the phone to NE, it does show the N direction but when I try to turn the phone to point to the North it goes all over the place.

This is regardless GPS on or off. I am still at 1.5...
