HTC HD2, nothing else!
How it works
The built-in compass uses the earth's magnetic field to calculate the deviation from magnetic north. As with every compass, if you put a piece of metal nearby, it gets deviated. Thats what i use here to detect metal.
Testing
Place your device flat on a surface. After starting the app, the gauge should show zero. If it doesnt, take your device and write a couple of "eights" in the air (this is to get rid of magnetism which might get stuck in the sensors).
Then use a pair of scissor or something the like and move it slowly to the right side of your device. At a distance of approx. 5 cm. the gauge should start to move. Take your device and move it with its right side near metals, and see if the gauge shows values.

Tested and working fine,also when i turn my device to the right the nail is gooing up but when the device is flat its working fine,thanks.

works ok but if you turn device up side down it dosn't work:/

Good job, lol, nice little plaything

Cool device man! Keep on the good job...
are there already results? Can we say that this app is accurate?
I can use it very good but I need to rely on it that it shows the right values...

Um, how can this work? I thought it was a digital compass that was in the phone, not a genuine magnetic compass... Not doubting your hard work here. I just didn't think it was a genuine physical compass in either the HD2 or the iPhone.
Sorry, a bit confused.

It is a real sensor, a magneto-inductive sensor that can pick up the earths magnetic field and work out its direction of flow, and hence north. Although we think of them as 'digital compasses', they are more accurately 'electronic compasses' with no moving parts.

Hello Madam
Thank you for this magnificent application
I think it should be added to the benefits of this application is to make sure that the compass does not have a magnetic effect before use to ensure the accuracy of the compass

f-ing cool...keep up the good work. If you need some stuff designed so that it looks pretty send me a PM.

Amazing ...
Absolutely amazing !!
I am new to the HTC devices and I was being just a regular user (also curious)...
After that I'll start program for this devices too !
Fantastic job ! Congrats !

works great, but items need to be about 1-2 cm for me for the needle to move

Hi,
great app, please make decibel meter also.

There's a real, physical magnetic compass in the device. Its an AK8976A from Asahi Kasei company. Here is a link to the manufactorer.

Right, unfortunately this cant be done with a button click. Take your device and write some "eights" in the air (like waving a friend )

[Q] How to calibration the accelerometer..?

My TF101 the sensor not balance , how to fix the problem..?

I've got the same issue and there s no way to calibrate the sensor !!!
I tried to hard reset the device : no joy
I tried calibrating with gps status, it only works in gps status, in all other applications, sensor is faulty !!!!

Same here! Don't know if this is since the 3.1 update (updated after 1 hour ownership of the TF )

I am experiencing the same issue...It's super sensitive.
Issue was there before update as well...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

It also feels a little too sensitive indeed, but the biggest problem is the calibration:

I had mine changed today, it's far better but still choppy and inaccurate.
I would say on 3 degrees discrepancy, instead of 10 degrees on the previous one
Look at the first one :
In every case our g sensors are responding well, it's just a matter of calibration, I hope ASUS will releanse soon a calibration tool. Or maybe someone else.....
Is there a place where we can post some suggestions to ASUS ?

The calibration is done the same way for every android device, wave it in a figure 8 on the x axis, this will calibrate both the compas and the accelerometer.

I have contacted Asus, and the issue, including a link to this topic, is being forwarded to the Asus HQ. Currently there is no calibration tool available. I hope Asus can fix the issue soon.
As stated, calibration using the app GPS status don't have any effect on the tf (maybe not honeycomb compatible for altering sensor values?).

I too think mine is off by about 3 degrees.
Interested parties can grab the MyBeer live wallpaper here.

thankfully that's one weird thing mine doesn't do...3.1 here also.

I had this same problem with my phone. The solution was to spin it rapidly several times on all three axes. Worked like a charm.
Unfortunately, this is a lot easier with a phone than a 10" tablet ...

I wrote ASUS about it and they answered there was a calibration option in the Display parameters menu.
Thts where it s supposed to be i agree, but it s not there.
They don t even know their product.
They don t even check before answering, we re not blind.....if we say it s not ther, that's because it's not there.
I found the solution : i returned mine back to the store and had one well calibrated now. not perfectly but that's far better.
I suggest you all do the same and maybe then, they will check and notice the option is not here !!!

Once rooted with Prime or another rom, is it possible to calibrate the accelerometer with the "sensorcalibutil_yamaha" command, as mine seems to have a slight problem as well ?

I tried on my root TF and it doesn't work.
the calibration file accessible is "sensors-config" but I failed to run it in order to calibrate the tablet

Mine is fine. But for some games and apps it's off.

@ThaiM : the animated wallpaper with the ice is also perfectly horizontal for you ?

I'm using the Lochness Monster one. Yes, docked on my desktop, it's perfectly level. Only in some games and apps do I notice that it may be off. But I think that's because of the angle of the device I have it on while I start that program.
Maybe try that?
Make sure you're level, and reboot. Let me know! Maybe it calibrates on startup?

Good idea, but I rebooted in a perfect horizontal position and the problem is still there.

I sent my tf to Asus RMA, due to left speaker problem and accelerometer. The status was 'waiting' for some time and asked what it was waiting for. Asus told me that it was currently waiting for a new speaker AND accelerometer. Unlikely, but maybe this is also a HW issue
DHL is now under its way, hope to see a perfectly working tf with calibrated accelerometer tonight

...
I have the same problem, and there is about 10 degrees rotation in accelerator, I hope that the developer solve it as soon as it is possible, it takes too much time if we wait for Asus supports!

if you like the app

please can have you return
What do you think about the app ?

I am a Level 2 Thermographer and would like to know more about your application. Like, how you can base any kind of heat level, even given the ambient temperature, from a high definition color image? Or what is it that you are attempting to emulate or give a representation of?

My app consist to help you for make a thermal photo for do this you need do this steps :
-Take a picture of your home, house wall ...
-define the number of measurement taking (the precision of the picture depends on this parameter )
-measurement the temperature each zone of you picture with a infra- red thermometer
-indicate his values ​​in the app
The resulta is not a professional picture but this gives an approximation
To carry out the measurement must be used an infrared thermometer
I don't emulate but i give an approximation representation .
But I'm working on a new algorithm for have a best color attributin

I had to read the OP a couple of times before it sank in...
The app is just a regular camera application that allows you to split a picture into segments. Each segment can be assigned a temperature value, which needs to be measured by hand. After measurements are entered, the app will assign a different color to each segment based on the temperature reading. Once they are all in, the app will sort-of look like a thermal picture (nowhere near it from the screenshots I have seen). I have used thermal cameras in the past and that is why this thread caught my eye, but from a practical standpoint (and likely why you are asking), it is not what you think it is and yes, it pretty much will not do what you need it to do.
IR imge sensors... now that would be an interesting feature to have

new video for explain how use the app :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss0Gfqg85Tc

Thanks for the explanation, I have a good understanding of how thermal imagery works and was disillusioned by the OP and the purpose and function of the app.

Can I have your opinion from the App

[Q/NEED HELP] GPS inaccuracy

Hello everyone. As you can see I have a GPS inaccuracy problem. My phone fixes to 7-8 satellites really fast (approx. 10 sec.), but when I use Run Keeper/similar sports tracker or Google Maps my trail is like zig-zag, app shows that I'm moving at crazy speed and so on. I tried AGPS Patch 3.1 by crypted, GPS fix by xenova, flashing some Radios (31_M and 18_M), ROMs and kernels (currently ARHD and Sultan kernel, tried ViperS, CM10.1), but nothing helps... I add some pictures which show my trail when I went across street (Vilniaus g.). Please help. Thanks

Nobody knows what problem this is?

If the problem remains also after wiping all, I think it could be an hardware issue.
Have you always had this problem?
When you use GPS while driving your car, the path has the same issue?

Totally wiped and installed CM10.1, but the problem remains. I bought it used. I don't know how much time it was used, but the digitizer had stock glue and the VOID is not damaged. No rust. So I think the previous user didn't have problems with phone. Never used navigation in car because I live in small country, which doesn't require any navigation to drive across Can RUU affect this? I really need normal lock...

If you try using only google maps? Test it making sure that it is the only app using GPS (kill background open apps).

i have the exact same problem! I've had the phone for a while, so maybe it's something that is worn. I'm thinking about the connections between the antennas and the phone for example. I hope we can find a solution! It's independent of which rom I use and which apps I use.

Have you seen this tip? "New Sensation Install - Gps Problems (Fixed)" @ cyanogenmod forum.
I can't find the option in cm10.1. So maybe they removed it or changed it to something else.
I'm thinking about flashing cm9 just to try it..
(I'm to new to post links)

Google Maps behaves exactly the same. Arrow, which shows my position, jumping all arround my street pretty much the same as in RunKeeper.

I don't think that this is something software specific. I think that the problem is hiding somewhere deeper but not in software, because all roms and different radios behave the same way. I think this is something hardware related.

Mmm, then I think it's an hardware problem... try to contact HTC support!

Hello again every one. I don't want to create a new thread so I'm writting here. Maybe someone knows what problem this is? HTC support, as always, suggesting me to do things like resetting phone, pulling out the battery, fully charge and so on... I thinking about selling this wonderful phone because of such a big problem... I can't use GPS everywhere...

Gps inaccuracy problem is also facing to me too.

I solved it by flashing the latest firmware and use clocksync before each time i run. Works reasonable, but the clock drifts quite fast. It wasnt enough to only use clocksync or only flash firmware.

Touchscreen becomes non-functional when I keep my palm on screen. This is not letting me write on my tablet.

Hi!
I am facing a problem with my android tablet. I want to write some notes on tablet with a capacitive stylus (I don't have an active stylus nor do I want to buy one).
Now I can't have strict palm rejection, but I found that some apps have software based palm rejection.
So, I tested those apps, but the palm rejection worked only when I kept my palm very lightly on the screen.
Then, I did some "touch testing", and found out that the tablet doesn't register any touches when I keep my palm rested on the screen.
I am very sure that this is the cause for the software to not work.
Some people uses foam or something like that but I don't like it.
Now, I know that this feature is very useful for mobile devices (and also sometimes on tablets), but this feature is not letting me write or draw on my tablet.
Please tell me if there is some feature in settings which is turned on, or is it not possible to fix this
Also, I don't want to do any "rooting" stuff, I already have bricked my previous phone.
Any reply is highly appreciated .

What I want to say is that, when I keep my palm lightly on the screen, everything works
But if I keep palm rested on the screen, then the tablet itself doesn't register touch inputs.

Sorry i forgot about it.
I guess it's a hardware limitation of this model... I asked it on stack exchange and they said that the touch driver might not be able to handle a large touch input like that. The question appeared to me because i watched some old videos and found that the ipads take that large touch input and treat them as a few random points.
For now if I ever want to doodle something i just put a cloth under my palm ... ( I actually just attached some straps on a thick enough piece of cloth to keep it with my hand ). The ones found on the internet that says "palm rejection gloves" were more or less just some thin "sweat reducing gloves", they don't work.
