Metal detector is a very cool feature for any Android phone owner, and our very own HD2 can also do this. The HD2 application for this is a very cool, sexy, and functional app that gives the phone the ability to find your money that you lost in your house seats. <\/p>\n

It comes in a simple cab file and you here is what you get\u2026 for free I might add:<\/p>\n

Current status of this app
This is far from finished, but as we both are quite busy at the moment, we’d like to share the current beta of this app. <\/p>\n

All gauges are fully functional. Clicking sound and vibration working too. You may turn them on\/off using the corresponding buttons on the left.
To exit the app, use the lower right button. <\/p>\n

The camera button has a new meaning as of v0.2.0.0:
It enables a test mode, where sensor readings are simulated. Use the sliders to advance the main\/aux gauges <\/p>\n

todo’s we’re aware of:
– artwork needs final polishing
– sliders do slide but have no effect whatsoever, temporarily used for debugging
– screenshot (camera) button switches debugging mode (this will change in a final release)
– detection algorithm still crappy
– sound and vibration status not saved on exit <\/p>\n

Testing
Place your device flat on a surface. After starting the app, the gauge should show zero. If it doesn’t, 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. <\/p>\n
