does it pop up like the new htc mogul?
How does the Mogulpop up?
like the p4350, the keyboard automatically slides out, and chimes, just like the htc mogul?
More or less -- the slideout is spring assisted so once you get it past a certain point it will pop all the way out. The chime is user-configurable so you can shut it off if it gets too annoying.

Hi @ all !
There´s a thing very annoying in the new Kaiser... You cannot use any belt-pocket with magnetic closers !
After setting the phone to standby via one short press on power button, I found it back turned on again, everytime I took it out of the belt-pocket.
First I thought, that this must be the keyboard slide mechanism, cause the phone also comes back, when you slide out the keyboard, but I kept an eye on it, not the move the slider while putting it into the pocket and back out again. Then I thought, that it was the light sensor, but some tests made me sure, that it must be something else.
Finally I found out, that it turns back on again, cause I´m still using the belt-pocket of my old TyTN I with the 2 magnets as closing mechanism... If you try and hold a magnet over the keyboard in the area of S,D,E,X,F or even on the back side in the same area and move it around just a little bit, the phone turns on... Crazy, but true !
Now I know, why they gave that awful new belt-pocket with the tape-closer to the Kaiser...
Hope that helps

It is partly related to keyboard... it has a magnetic sensor that it is activated when keyboard is released, so the magnet from your holster tricks the sensor into believing keyboard is out, so it activates screen.
I guess thats why they have the velcro closer on the one that is shipped with the phone. This is somthing to consider when buying a nice Piel Frama one.
Absolutely it's the keyboard magnet operated switch that does it. But, I know you can run a magnet (let's say the case magnet ) over the d-pad area (seems to do it on mine) and the Kaiser will turn on. - However, I have been using the TyTn case also and I have not noticed it turning on just by sliding the Kaiser in and out. In fact I have just sat here and put it in and out every which way (for the last ten minutes) and it has not come on.
Maybe your magnets are stronger than mine or your keyboard switch more sensitive? I am also not keen on that "tape" closing on the new case.

lol i wish i would have read that some place, i thought it was the keyboard some switch but didnt think they would use a magnet, it was pissing me off a lot while i was driving, now i know i found on my own, but the magnet that i have is shielded a bit, but still just the right position and it will trigger the switch
I sure hope this was posted some place in a FAQ or wiki, if not it should be and if it was, then shame on me for not reading that part or noticing it
Magnetic sensor via magnet in holster.
Just found out this "feature" with a BB holster...
Has anyone found a way to exploit/use this feature to turn-on the device when removed from the holster?
That is something I always envied with my wifes Blackberry.
I've noticed this too
I have the same problem, but since mine is set not to wakeup when the keyboard slides open I can't see how the magnet could be the culprit.
I had the same problem with my Nokia and Kaiser.....Never thought it was because of the magnet sensor in the device....To tell the truth...I didnt know that it had one inside.....Thanks for the info....
Would it affect the sensor in anyways....if it doesnt, I can actually use this "feature" so my phone is awake each time I pull it out of the belt case......
Anyone experience their Tilt turning on by itself just when you turn it off (stand by-button on the side)?
I would turn the unit on standby and put it back into the case and it would turn on by itself and a 3 beeping sound would activate. I thought that the Tilt has some kind of motion sensor thing.
Is this an issue and how can it be solved?
If the screen slides out slightly the phone will come out of standby. The 3 tones could be the piano slide out sound.
good catch DaneMaximus
the keyboard uses a magnetic switch, by any chance......does you case have a magnet in it?
thats what i thought too but i would try moving it a slight and it doesnt go on.
Dont know about the magnetic...where is it on the case?
Ok, when i force the open keyboard it is playing the closing piano chime. But why is it doing this? I dont think its opening since the phone is new.
I know why this is happening. It turns out the the opening slide from the Tilt is a magnetic trigger and when I put it into my leather case, it has a magnetic closer lid where it is activating the trigger on the Tilt.
Just have to be careful when inserting the tilt into the case. At least theres nothing wrong with the tilt.
You could disable slide wake.
ahhh... good suggestion. How do you disable slide awake?-
Never mind found it in kaiserTweak.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I am currently using Touch Cruise. Would it be a serious upgrade to TD2? I am very much concerned about the lack of D-pad. Even with the D-pad the use of cruise is difficult. Is the screen improved?
From some reviews I read that the screen is so large and finger friendly that it negates the use of a D-Pad.
You should go for it. I upgraded from a Touch Cruise and the D2 is a far superior phone. It is far more responsive than the laggy Cruise and the screen is very high definition - almost excessively. You can read web pages even when zoomed out if your eyes are good enough.
I still reach for the dpad sometimes out of habit but I don't really miss it. Everything is do-able without, you just need to get used to it.
The D2 didn't feel much smaller than the cruise when I first upgraded but now when I look at my old cruise it looks fat and bloated and the screen pixels looks very blocky.
I do miss the rubbery feel though of the cruise since the D2 is very slippery.
If you use programmable buttons much you will be disappointed with the D2's single button compared to about 5 on the cruise. Although there are free solutions to this available.
Honestly, there's no comparison! The UI is instantaneous with everything you do. Press a number on the dial pad and it instantly registers. Press call end and the call is GONE! No waiting 2-3 seconds anymore. When you slide your finger in the photo album to swipe to the next picture the photo moves WITH your finger. With the TC you made the swipe and then waited for the next picture to appear.
These are just the benefits I can think of now.
I'm coming from a cruise too, and just loving my D2! The UI is indeed perfect. I was affraid of the accessability of some functions, when not having a D-pad, but it's just no problem in everyday use.
All daily windows menus have been replaced by larger ones, easily clickable with your finger. That includes the menus that are used in third-party programs. I was affraid about having to do a lot of actions to block the phone, when putting it in my pocket. But actually you just press and hold the end-button to block the device very quickly. There are big improvements like for instance the great TF3D, but also small ones. For instance, the D2 displays a small bluetooth icon in the taskbar, when BT is on. It even shows a different icon when the device is connected to a headset or carkit. On my cruise I always wondered about BT-status. The start menu is replaced by a bigger icon one. That one is adjustable, you can place 24 of your favorite apps there, 15 off them fit in the screen directly, for more you have to scroll. The other apps are accessable when you hit 'all'. Then the whole start menu appears, but again: larger. The TF3D home screen shows the next 3 appointments, whereas TF2D versions for the cruise always showed only 1. The TF3D calendar doesn't fit my needs though, so I'm still looking for a replacement.
On my cruise I was using a tiny program called taskswitch, which I assigned to a hardware button, to switch between applications. I use that when driving. I'll typically have at least two apps open (navigation software and Opera for live traffic information) and want to switch between them easily while keeping my attention on the road. The lack of buttons prevents that solution now, but there is a better one: AE button plus. I assigned the built-in task manager to the hardware back button and that works great! Then I assigned the function "OK/enter" to the same button, but when pressing and holding it. Now it all works fantastically.
On my cruise I have tried several ROM's. No one was perfect at all. Opera would crash often, the Youtube apps I tried would be slow and crash often. I was using the stylus all day. The Topaz isn't just better IMO, it's a whole new era.
Just one addition: a downside is the poorer radio reception. Radio reception for GSM and wifi is worse than the cruise. I'm hoping it will improve at some time with a radio ROM update. It's not bad, but it's not as good as the cruise.
My daughters tilt is being screwy. A couple keyboard buttons dont work, so ok, new keyboard.
The real screwy thing is, her keypad acts up and gets stuck scrolling either side to side or up and down when she closes her phones slider.
I tried blowing it out with some canned air but that did nothing. Is a new keypad also in order?
My guess is putting the phone in her pants pocket screwed it up, so we dont allow that anymore. Although, mine and my wifes are kept in belt clip cases which are a bit tight on the phone and we dont get any of the same problems.
Hello,
Topic may be a bit miselading - it's not abut the holder itself, looks fine and works well. It's about the software that freaks me out.
WM forces me to use the NaviPanel, which is quite okay, as long as you use your HD2 as a phone. Well, if I wanted just a phone, I would not buy a WM device, would I...
Of course, I have a choice: I can tell WM not to launch NaviPanel when in the holder, but then:
- home button does not work (it doesn't work anyway, whether NP is launched or not)
- home screen is not rotated, but other screens are - it doesn't matter whether you're holding the phone in portrait or landscape, they just are rotated. So, If you keep it in portrait on home screen, and a call comes in, it's rotated to landscape, so you have to tilt either your head or the holder. If you somehow manage to get back to home screen (remember, home button doesn't work), you have to rotate the holder again.
- While rotating, but not only, a clipboard menu pops up (copy, select all etc.) even on home screen and messes up the display, you have to tap to get rid of it.
- When a rotated landscape 'make a call' screen appears, you cannot go into contacts. You just cant. You have to get it out of the cradle so that a normal screen appears.
And so on and so forth... I'm using a stock 1.66 ROM. I will try it with some cooked ROMs, but that's just wrong.
My advice, if you're not after the looks, buy yourself a good ole passive or active brodit holder - it simply works and does not mess with the WM.
Please, can you post photos of the kit?
This is NOT a problem with the OS, rather how HTC have programmed the Navipanel software and their Sense home screen. Default WM can perform all the functions you mentioned, blame HTC for putting eye candy before functionality.
A little disappointed with the Navipanel myself. I was expecting to see nice driver friendly buttons to use simple things like the music player. Instead I have several buttons to turn on the sat nav and one to use the phone.
Only had a quick play with it so I maybe missing something, but hopefully HTC will update it or or some talented chappie or chapess here will work there magic.
