[Thunderbolt General] BigMcGuire:
I have always disliked auto-brightness. At night when I'm reading a book in bed, it is just way too bright at the lowest auto-bright setting. Though it was nice to automatically brighten up when I'm outside. Now days, I just stick an Android power control on the home screen and manage it myself. 0% for when I'm in bed reading books, 30% for normal every day use, 100% for when I'm outside. It seems to help the battery quite a bit too.

Its best to adjust it manually anyways... Just add a widget on your home screen lolz

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scholbert:
Check this out:

AFAIK, ClockworkMod Recovery is not available for Milestone.

Alternatively delete it manually.

Search for batterystat in milestone forum there's a lot to read.....

Good luck,

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jonseager:
Hi,

If you are root on your device you can use the terminal emulator to remove the batterystats.bin file yourself...

su [enter]

rm data/system/batterystats.bin [enter]

Beware, for the first few charge cycles your battery life may actually be worse, but it will improve. Ensure that you reboot straight after too.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] linuques:
Thanks for the tip.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] pcphobic:
Sometimes 100% charged is not really 100% but actually it is only 60% charged. This mismatch happens when flashing new rom. Have you done the battery calibration either using zeppelinrox's method

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11803458&postcount=10

or my method below:

Step 1:

Boot up your phone normally and charge your phone as how you would normally do until it says "charged".

Step 2:

Once your phone charging status says "charged", unplug the wall socket cable from the phone. Shut the phone off.

Step 3:

While the phone is still off, plug back in the wall charger cable. Switch on the power of the wall charger.

Step 4:

You should then see the M logo for a while and then it shows the 100% green battery icon in the middle of the screen.

Step 5:

Open the battery cover and pull out the battery and wait for awhile until you see the "?" icon in the middle of the LCD screen.

Step 6:

Put the battery back in.

Step 7:

If your battery is OK (properly calibrated) then it would show 100%. If it is not properly calibrated, then it would show 60% and it will continue to charge your battery until 100%.

Step 8:

Once your battery has reached 100% (while phone is still off), leave it there to charge for another 15 minutes or until the battery is no longer hot. When the battery is cool to the touch, it means the charger has stopped charging the battery.

Step 9:

Unplug the charging cable and do the "3 finger boot" (x button + camera button + power button) to boot into recovery and flash the new ROM.

Doing so will calibrate the new ROM to the current state of the battery as 100% charged.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] THUDUK:
OK, we have different specs of Android devices also running different versions of Android which is understandable to have some fragmentation when some devices cant cope with some of the heavier games.

We being HD2 owners are lucky enough to be able to run most of the heavier 3D type games on the market.

But things are starting to change now with dedicated Tegra and more recently Xperia Play games appearing, so we have at the same time three main fragments of Android, is this a good thing or bad...what do you think ?

Hi everyone,

Can someone kindly give me a hand rooting my Desire HD. I have installed Visionary R14 but everytime I click TempRoot is says "Rooting Device" and about 30 seconds later the screen goes black then Sense reloads but device still remains unrooted.

Am I doing something wrong or is there any other way to root the phone?

Many thanks,

Dan.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphuyal:
What is the version of the software in your DHD? You need to downgrade if it comes with version other than 1.3.xx
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr9722:
The software version number is 1.84.61.2. How do I go about downgrading? Where can I obtain the software from?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
yo, dr9722.

i just recently rooted my phone too.

1st - downgrade to 1.32 (since visionary doesnt work on your current firmware)

2nd - then root.

this video makes it really clear

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkbmKLCkDWg

and watch part 2 and 3, although i think part 3 is for installing custom ROM, but you can be rooted with your stock ROM, like me :).

Once u do that you lose root and recovery, so what u need to do is temp root and radio s-on.

Can anyone add lockscreen controls to this apk? Would be sweet. Works great otherwise.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Nephilim:
I second this request, The new music 3.0 is amazing on my INC, very fast, no lag and the sound is louder. The dealbreaker was the lack of lockscreen capabilities.

If the guys at cyanogenmod can add album art to their lockscreen music app I'm sure somebody can cook up an apk with lockscreen functionality for this one :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] TheWizKid95:
Lockscreen controls work fine on CM7 RC4! xD
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] TokedUp:
would pay someone to get basic lock screen controls on this. Is it possible to use the lock screen from the stock player and add it to the new one?

Also when receiving a call the music completely stops and doesn't resume after the call is ended. You have to go back into the app to start the music again. The stock player stops the music, receives the call and once the call is ended the music starts again.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] n99hockey:
You guys do anything special to make this work? Keeps FCing whenever I launch it.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] TheWizKid95:

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] n99hockey:
How did you unistall the stock original player? I tried through Titanium but said couldnt mount system.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] phaze one:

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] RussianMenace:
Is there any way to filter out ringtones/notification sounds either by file size or folder exclusion? Ringtones getting shuffled in with the music kinda sucks.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Nephilim:
Don't have that issue on CM7 RC2, what I always do is make a folder called "ringtones" on my sd card and then put all notifications/ringtones in it. All the system provided ringtones/notifications won't show up by default, it's only the ones you add.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] phaze one:
I changed the extensions to .ogg and it doesnt recognize them. Thats the ringtones I created that were previously .mp3.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] k_flan:
Did you try a .nomedia file in the folder that contains said ring tones?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] RussianMenace:
I'll give it a shot, thanks.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crusher88:
Hi,

I'm currently on radio version Radio_12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M_Test running CoreDroid Desire HD V4.6.

As I'm using my phone for Geocaching, I'm not very happy with the GPS accuracy.

My /system/etc/gps.conf is set to NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org.

I've tried the usual reset and download A-GPS using GPS Status, and I get a fix pretty quick.

When I go Geocaching my friend with an iPhone4 (!) has a much more accurate GPS. I miss my target with 10 m.

So my question is, are there any differences in the GPS accuracy in the different Radio versions?

BR,

C
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohaz55:
I think the only way to answer this question is to suggest that you try different radios and see what works best for you.

The success or failure of the radio depends on so many factors.... where you live, carrier, rom, signal strengths, etc, etc..... and also on what you are looking for from the radio ie battery life, phone signal, gps signal, etc.

There is no definitive answer!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lepsch1977:
Some days ago I struggled with some GPS troubles too.

It took me quite a while to figure this out but it is well reproducible on my DHD (everything performed outside, for sure):

GPS from the radio 12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2 from WWE 1.72 or the 12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M_Test radio behave like this: When you start GPS status for the first time after boot the DHD starts to fix one satellite after another and then keep them ALL fixed. When you now quit GPS Status and restart it the DHD starts to fix satellites again but then lose some of them just to fix them again a second later or so, then loses some of them again and so on. Sometimes you then have just 3 or 4 satellites fixed. The only way for me to get rid of this strange behavior is to make a cold restart then GPS status is fine again for the first start, but after restarting GPS Status same again.

When I use the radio from the 1.32 WWE this does not appear after restarting GPS Status, it always fixes as much satellites as possible and KEEP them CONSTANTLY fixed (here in Austria regularly around 9). When I use my DHD for car nav I don’t care too much about it but I guess this might play a rule when you use it for geocaching (and need more accuracy, which is provided by more fixed satellites, if I am not wrong) … hope that helps a little bit.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjonnyrock:
This is the Desire HD's only flaw, the GPS. Well for me anyway.

You can get it working to a point. And i think all the guys cooking ROMs have got this right now.

For example i am running CM7 RC4 and i can now always get a lock but it bounces a lot. What i mean is, take google maps for example, the GPS locks, and almost never loses the lock now, but the circle that fixes your position on the map is constantly on you then way off you all the time. :o So it knows that you are 'somewhere there'. which for a GPS in an urban area 'somewhere there', anything from 10m - 500m, is not good enough.

In reality it is not very good at all and is very disappoint as the big screen makes using maps a big plus :(

I have given up on trying to get this to work now. My Desire contract is up for renewal soon so i will get another phone and at this point an HTC phone may not be my next phone. HTC has mostly great build quality but they don't seem to care if the phone features work or not. Which is sad because if they addresses this issure, and its been the same for a good while now, they would be the the best phone for sure.

Personally i think that they could do better with the camera and GPS, the hardware.

Oh and i have also tried many different radios.

[HTC Desire S] Funky_:
hi,

i finally got my Desire S today. Overall its a very nice phone but on amazon feedbacks is the Wlan issue known. I tested myself and i have it too.

The issue is that Wlan connectivity goes down to 0 if you turn your phone into landscape mode and hold it with two hands. Wlan antenna is hided behind the upper plastic cover so you block the signal with your left hand.

i think its a con for that phone when youre using landscape mode and Wlan often.

We disliked

Let's start with the Wi-Fi attenuation issue. It's just a bit too easy to trigger accidentally. We first noticed it because we were logging into a web server, typing our password in landscape mode, and suddenly we couldn't connect anymore.

It's a bit like the iPhone 4's issue in that if you've got a really strong signal, it'll reduce it, but probably not all the way if you're just holding the phone casually, or have it placed gently on your leg.

However, if you have a medium or weak Wi-Fi signal, you'll be down to nothing in the space of a few seconds.

Beyond that problem, there's no other major flaw with the Desire S. It's just lots of little scuffs spoiling the polish.

[HTC Desire S] njd:
Can anyone confirm whether the Wi-Fi reception is made better or worse with the Desire S inside a case?
[HTC Desire S] dirwdirw:
yes, the wifi signal issue is really annoying.
[HTC Desire S] gtg465x:
Just so you guys know, I think this is a software issue because my Desire HD running a Desire S ROM has this same issue where it didn't before.
[HTC Desire S] njd:
Well, I now have a Desire S, with a Case Mate "Barely There" case, and the Wi-Fi attenuation seems less of a problem.

I can make the Wi-Fi signal reduce a little, but I have to really grab the camera-end of the phone with the palm behind it. Just holding and typing normally in landscape doesn't affect the signal enough to cause a probem.

I'm away from a wireless router at the moment, so I can't do a direct A/B comparison.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
thats great! at least we know it isnt a hardware pfoblem... but it doesnt make toi much sense though!
[HTC Desire S] gtg465x:
HTC programmed the WiFi to disconnect when the signal drops below -88 dB. I guess they thought a connection weaker than that threshold would drain the battery quicker than they would like, but they were clearly a little aggressive. Anyways, I lowered the disconnect threshold to -108 dB and my phone is holding on to my WiFi connection really well now.

Fixing the issue (experienced devs only):

Add the line "rssi_offset=-20" to /system/etc/calibration. It fixes wifi stability, but it throws off the signal indicator display, so now we need to fix that.

After setting that line in /system/etc/calibration, you need to decompile and edit some smali in framework.jar. There are seven RSSI values in /framework/classout/android/net/wifi/WifiManager.smali that need to be edited. Two defines in the beginning of the file (MIN_RSSI and MAX_RSSI) and five more in the calculateSignalLevel function. They need to be adjusted by the same amount you set in the calibration file.

can you elaborate please? can you explain the improvement in wifi reception......how much does it increase in landscape mode? also do you think this problem can be removed by htc by releasing a software fix?
[HTC Desire S] gtg465x:
I thought I just did elaborate. It doesn't improve reception, it just tells the phone to hold on to weaker connections instead of dropping them too quickly. If I fixed the problem on the Desire HD, I'm sure HTC can manage a fix lol.
