The HTC HD2 has a quiet ring on pickup feature. Is there anyway to do this with the captivate? Or can any android based phone do this?
Thanks!

I think Tasker might be able to do this.

HTC Aria has this feature too. When you move the phone, the ringer volume is lowered and if you flip the phone over, the ringer stopped. Not a must have feature but it's a nice to have.

Yes. It's part of the Sense UI feature. I honestly believe HTC has made Android much much better. Motorola did pretty much nothing to Android. And Samsung made Android worse.

i dont think its worse, its just different from htc which has a pretty good stronghold on what we think android should be.

That's true. Before I got my first Android phone, I though the big flip clock weather widget was Android thing.
Well I got tasker. I cant figure out how I would set it up to do this. Anyone have any ideas?

HTC evo can run (out of the box) stock android w/ nexus launcher and all.
http://htcdev.net/topic/11584-sprint-evo-4g-working-without-sense-ui/
I don't know if this has been posted before, since I'm in a rush to prom I havent been able to check. anyways, htc has done another thing right. yay! haha
1. There is already a topic about this.
2. There is NO WAY to run the phone without Sense UI without installing a custom ROM. Sense UI is highly integrated into the OS. The video that you see is the EVO running launcher2.apk instead of Rosie.apk (the Sense home app). This is nothing new or exciting, so I wish people would stop making damn topics about it.
Hey man, you gotta understand i didnt search and couldnt search. Also, i know you cant completely replace sense ui on a stock rom but some people like the launcher2.apk better. So sorry for double posting bud

I always used to hate sense, but then after looking very close at this phone, I have to admit i love it now! Just getting more and more psyched for this phone every time i see it. I think if everyone took their time to look in to sense ui, they would end up liking it a lot like myself.

For many this is true. For others, I suspect there are multiple motivations for wanting a pure android. I suspect most fall into one or more of 3 categories.
They may want pure as the driven snow Open Source Android
They might want as few of what they don't need as possible for increased resources
They simply don't like the HTC and it's prettiness
To each his own. As long as you're on Android, we are on the same side. Viva La Evo! Viva Android! Death to Apple!
I like Android Sense. Makes the transition from WM6.5 Sense a lot smother for me
I dont think anyone would deny that fact that Sense looks amazing. I just want to shut it off to save my battery. From what i hear, sense is quite the juice hog.

You won't save much battery if you turn Sense off. Unless you just have pages full of self updating widgets or something.
love the 2.1 UI.im GOING for that instead of the SENSE
Yeah... I'm looking forward to a stock froyo EVO as soon as possible... best of luck to those with the skill to make it happen
Or at least sense with the stock 2.2 launcher. I actually like the default contacts and messaging apps for sense. Not to mention the clock is way better too, and camera has tap to focus. One thing AOSP has for me though is the look, the white and orange are very appeasing for some reason.
im jus hopeing HTC keeps their promise of updating the SUPERSONIC in july to FROYO 2.2(love the UI).gonna love the phone even more.

I don't think they promised anything at any date, other than that most handsets made after 2010 will get 2.2... no specific dates were set..maybe i am wrong and please link me if i am..

hhmm, goofy quote, I'll say that.
HTC Sense is "attractive", but not for everyone.
The first time I played with Sense was on a Hero ROM on my G1. Then again with the Desire ROM on my Nexus.
Even with the Nexus speed increase, it was definitely NOT sexy.
I really like the Plain Jane look of Android™ raw.

it would indeed seem that way. just pulled the cm sources to see if adding a new device wasn't too hard a task and it seems there already has been some work done towards porting it to the saga (aka desire s). finally some good news
Hope the port for Saga comes soon. Really look forward to getting rid of Sense.

NexuS has pretty same hardware. Even better cam..
I sold NexuS because I missed some of the sense things:
the stock dialer has NO t9 search - most dialer from market are crap or slow or somehow frickled on the stock dialer. Even old nokia do have a quick search option...
Stock contacts are ugly.
GAL (global adress list for exchange server) is NOT implemented in android 2.x - only in 3.0; but it's implemented since sense1 (hero)
CM had some issues - espacially with the notification bar/speed settings - on 2.3 - the new sense 3.0 lockscreen and notification bar are very good - so no need for CM at the moment - for _me_
So I deleted most of sense.apk from /system on my DesireS (all widgets, all "htc", like route66, amazon, stockexchange..) and do use adw-launcher instead of rosie (don't delete it cause is needed for lockscreen settings!) - but do have integrated company exchange and a good biult in dialer, cool contacts (with flickr and fb content) and nice lockscreen..

Sense is THE BEST ANDROID UI, EVAR. Don't know why people wanna "DE-SENSE" their phones. I'm gonna flash CM7 to see what the fuss is about , but sense 3.0 first Hopefully, the new official version of CM7 will come for DS too. I'd rather let the ports pass on...........
to each their own. i'm still waiting to see someone make a WebOS like UI for android ^^

I get the sarcasm, but well, imo WebOS is a really good os. It's too new and has veeeeerrry less apps. In abou 1-2 years maybe, it'll become as good as android is today.

had there been better WebOS devices on the market, i would probably have bought one of those instead. i've been told that app development is a lot easier than on any other platform. and as soon as i get some time, i might just look into writing apps for android.

There's plenty of HTC phones out there that are running custom ROMs and customised user interfaces that don't rely on Sense. It may be the "out of the box experience" as far as most HTC phones are concerned, but isn't that what all THIS (ie these forums) is about - customisations, and thinking "out of the box"? (no pun intended, haha).
If we all concentrated on Sense and variations on that theme then this community would be a much poorer one.
Peace
sense ftw!
Well, i love sense, but i am porting the cm7 just so people have the choose, and also to make the development on this device more alive
But personally, Sense is the thing!
I'm very curious on how to make my phone look completely like its not an android phone. I see all these screen shots and they look nothing like the roms I see.
I think most of them say it miui bit there lock screen are all so crazy looking and just overall the way they setup the phone looks awsome.
Can anyone give me tips or point me In a direction where I can read more about it thanks.

when i am not working on my personal builds i run the following setup:
(i am so going to get some major flack for this, but i dont care, its functional and i like it. )
MIUI + Launcher7 + MIUI WP7 Lockscreen
i like the simplicity of WP7, ease of use, but i heart android in every other way.....
My favorite lockscreen is the CM7 Lockscreen Gestures with "Disable unlock slider" selected. All it displays is the simple time and battery stats, the rest of the space is blank for gestures, I have one that mutes the phone, one that turns on the flashlight, and on that unlocks it. It's fast and easy to unlock and no one could ever figure out how to do it.
Yeah android is the way to go all the way. Preferably HTC. Thanks ya.
IPhone to the inspire. Rock solid.

Viewing the specs, it's very similar to DS.
But, its battery is non-detachable.
Is this an indirect way to recognise that removing battery may be dangerous?

Well spotted, I'd say without a doubt, the battery is also a little larger at 1600Mhz!

My wife got one of these yesterday. Not a bad phone other than the colour, nothing special specs wise but she doesn't need anything amazing.
Comes with a really nice dock -- I wish more manufacturers would do that.

Not being able to change the battery is pretty rubbish imo, limits your options, they should just make/design phones where you can pull the battery without frying the sodding emmc!!
I know this is a long shot but here it goes...
I used to have the HTC One, and I LOVED that phone. I switched to the Moto X, and loved that. Now I have the Nexus and love that. Now I want the HTC M8 because I think I will love that. Anyway, you get my point...
But one thing about the HTC One that i liked a lot, was the Zoe feature. Not so much making the slideshow for you already, but the fact that it took the 3 second picture/video for you so that you could make a clip with it. I know Google's Auto Awesome does this already, but just a basic slideshow. Is there any way to port that feature for the camera? Or if not, an app similar to that?
Thank you

Yeah I looked into it and figured if we couldn't even get the sense launcher, there was no hope,
but is there a camera app that would do something like this? I could edit it myself, or use Google Photos to edit it (although navigating that app is a PITA) but just a camera app that, you, or someone else that knows that could work?

I don't mind Sense at all, I had a few issues with 5.0 with the small things like a black BG on the dock, etc. But I really want to take small, quick movies when i press the shutter button, so that I can make quick, small edited movies that don't look like the boring old slideshows they have now. I want it to be an "animated slideshow"
