Use Your HTC HD2 to Detect Metals

Did you ever though that you can use metal detector on your HTC phones . HTC can give you a work around – tetsted on htc hd2 .  A small program, which is still in beta, works in short, like a metal detector by using the phone’s compass, which is controlled by the magnetic field in the North Pole in any way that I do not understand but it works apparently.

Metal detector software for mobile is not yet finished .The program is still in beta stage and has some bugs, but that fix permanent. 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. 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. 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

Metal detector software 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.
