[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedebi:
The page you reference clearly says that there will be no more phones with anything other than WP7. The other devices are specialized for a certain purpose, or are tablets / pads, etc. Not phones.

I love WM despite it's flaws, but I don't expect more applications. The people from which I have purchased WM software are only updating android.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tswp:
Thanks for quoting the info.

Many people are visiting here everyday. Windows Mobile is not dead. The cooked ROM is updated more frequent than the official stock ROM. It is still alive :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DukeNukem:
As an application developer I loved Windows Mobile as it was a very capable platform (I have apps that I wrote for it that I couldn't have written for other mobile device) and the development tools (Visual Studio, SQL Server CE, etc) rock, so I'm not really happy or understand why WM is dying, but it seems it is. The question is what to replace it with. XDA Developers seems to jumped over to Android, and likely I try developing something for Android, but no doubt it will take some time before I find something I like better then Windows Mobile (I'm still writing apps for WM as its the platform I like to use myself and the ROMs here rock, for example I'm using the Energy HD2 ROM and can't find a reason to leave it, what does Android give me that Energy doesn't have?)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colint3:
Android

Android is the way to go. It has a brighter future that windows 7. It is becoming a very nice os. Windows 7 is a dead duck cant do anything with it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DuQ3r:
What do you find in this ugly Android? Except the faster reaction comparing to WM.

It's even a problem to find a good dialer for Android.

Rest Windows Mobile rocks. Very flexible and customizable. Lot of dealers for your choice. Lot of other software.

I don't understand why people jump to some other system.

I better use WM7 then Android.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwind:
Android is better because the development is continuing (unlike Winmo).

You will know why is Android better if you use Android as native (in Android handset not in HD2)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcbofkc:
Based on my experience with the LG G2X (I have two of them) android is a battery sucking nightmare that can't even download emails on a regular basis. Not to mention all the privacy concerns and ridiculous amounts of ads. It is useless as a business phone. It seems to be a toy OS for kids.

My HD2 with Elegancia by Steve runs flawlessly. If I want android toys and games a SD version works fine.

My wife wants to keep her G2X, but mine is going back because it is a piece of crap.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwind:
I understand about battery sucking in Android ;) But it also happens with Iphone and BB

So, it doesnt mean Android is bad...

I think the development of Battery technology is far left behind from the development of the device and os..

The disadvantage is as you said about privacy and ads, I do agree with you

About WInmo, dont get me wrong, I still keep my HD2 and it runs smooth with Platinum Series (see my sig). Only that, you dont have market to play with. Windows Market is not interesting to me;) So, I rarely play with my HD2, instead I use it more with SD Android ...

Cheers...

Hi, when I tried to flash a rom using ROM Manager, it said that I don't have ClockWork mod, which I do. Also when I try to flash the ClockWork Mod it says

"An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands".

Any ideas why that happened? Thanks.
[Click General] andynroid:
Have u rooted it?
[Click General] wormix500:
i guess andynroid is right... sounds, as if the root wasn't done... just check this possibility

my description in this thread also gives you a brief overview about the steps to flash your rom
[Click General] :
I'm having a similar issue:

Any apps state that i don't have root access, but the adb shell starts in # and i'm able to navigate in /system and so on.

RomManager is apparently not able to install the recovery, allthough the 1-click thingy did finish successfully.

the root checker app complains about /system/xbin/su which i can't seem to find in the adb shell

any suggestions?

I use an ext4 extension all the time,

but the 3 latest builds I installed, each from different devs, which all support ext4, don't work with my card. before it worked so I don't get it.

Is there something I might overlook?

also, can I create a data.img? because I think that is build specific? I can't really find the answer I googled for a few days now but I'm not getting any solution atm.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Maybe you could try flashing DarkTremor's A2SD, and then in Android Terminal Emulator entering the command su, then a2sd reinstall, but doing so will format your ext4, wiping all your apps on the ext. Just a last resort idea, I'd try everything else first, and if you do this, don't use one of DarkTremor's newer beta A2SD scripts.

Use the Rootexplorer program in the rom, say yes to superuser privileges. navigate to system/build.prop, long press and select open in text editor, navigate to line ro.sf.lcd_density=XXX, change XXX to say 220, maximum of 240, press menu and click save and close. Reboot phone and you are good to go

[XPERIA X10 General] d3coy.japan:
I have a widget on one of my home screens that I cannot see, but it is taking up space. There is nothing (*nothing*) displayed. When I add a widget it automatically places it on the top of the home screen. I am unable to tap-hold on the invisible widget and drag it to the trash. Once I fill up the space on the top portion of the screen I receive "No room on this home screen" as an error when trying to add any additional widgets. I have tried clearing cache, wiping & formatting via xRecovery. I have also cleared the Davlik cache (not thinking that would do anything, but what the hell).

Google produces no results...with information.

I have scoured the /etc & /system/etc folders searching for some kind of .conf file and even searched my sdcard for any kind of data. I have zapped all files/folders named "cache".

The widget was Latitude's widget, but I have even uninstalled all updates to "Maps" and cleared the data for that program.

Any suggestions/assistance would be greatly appreciated (short of "reload your phone").

Is it possible to replace the LG lockscreen permanantly without using any app like widgetlocker or GOTO?

please guide me along.

Thanks.

Not on the stock rom. You have to use a custom rom that includes the stock lock screen. For this you would need to root and install a custom recovery. See the dev sections but you asked the question in the correct place! :)

Hi Everybody :)

I flashed on my DHD the Revolution HD ROM (v.3.2) and I find it much better than the stock one, but I can't understand why they decided to remove some of the stock skins. In particular I've always used the "Metal" one, so I was wondering if there is a way to install/flash it.

Thank you :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doctor.Who:
Try RCMix ROM this one is faster and has the Metal Skin.

Revolution HD doesn't get it all out of you DHD. You'll be supriced how fast your DHD can be with RCmix or Coredroid.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgptheoriginal:
Thank you for your reply!

I'm sure that coredroid and rcmix are fantastic ROM's, btw I prefer the Revolution HD because it looks exactly like the stock HTC ruu. Maybe i'll flash them once, but at the moment I'd rather keeping one that is similar to the original one... but a bit faster :D

[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
I know its advertised as unlimited data but a lot of them have that fictional cap etc. Reason im asking is my T-Bolt is upwards of 10gb used this month with 8 days left in the cycle haha. I havent even tethered really. I used 1gb a month on my AT&T iPhone, and 10 times more on this. Just dont want them throttling me or something.

Thanks :)
[Thunderbolt General] jbeitel:
They might throttle you but as long as you made the cut then your grandfathered in on the unlimited
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
My guess is id have to go much higher than 10gb for them to throttle. Plus im probably not really that high compared to a lot of people. Most people are really beating up LTE because its the newest thing. Its sickeningly fast!!
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
As far as I recall, in the contract's TOS they stipulate 5GB or more per month is considered evidence that you are using the phone to do things that are in violation of the TOS (such as hosting a website on your phone, running a public FTP server, etc.).

So while the connection it officially unlimited, there are activities that are considered violations of the service agreement, and 5GB per month is the sniff test.

I'd wager that in practice you have to go well beyond this before anything happens, especially if packet inspection shows you're reaching such high amounts through acceptable usage (e.g. non-stop pandora). I'd also wager that if anything were to happen, rather than cancel your agreement they would just speed cap you for a certain time.
[Thunderbolt General] PJnc284:
That's been gone for a couple years. The only thing they have in there now is that the top 5% may be throttled.
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
Verizon throttle's the top 5% data users. Someone on here said they used 100GB in a week though (not too sure about that) so you're probably under that top 5%.
[Thunderbolt General] spaghetti_monster:
In the fine print unlimited data is 5gb with a 10$ overage per gb. Or that's what it used to be. This isn't including WiFi data that's free ;) .
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
highly doubt that. It would be illegal for them to call it unlimited.
[Thunderbolt General] churro7:
How can you use 10gb without tethering?

Sent from Snarf high on SRF 1.02 till freezes are fixed
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
You got it. I just read the contract terms. From the very bottom of the agreement:
[Thunderbolt General] poontab:
Isn't that top 5% from all users users (even dumb-phones)? If so the bar is set extremely low.
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
It says top data users, which at face value sounds to exclude dumb phone and include those with tether plans.
[Thunderbolt General] Tidbits:
Softcaps if you want to call it that is fine with me as long as I don't pay a pay per use or bundle charge. There IS a difference between unlimited DATA and unlimited BANDWIDTH.
[Thunderbolt General] Chopes:
Easy, watch a baseball game or two on your phone and see how much data you just used. You would be surprised how easy it is to eat up data ;) I usually go through a few GB to watch a full basketball game stream or something similar (which is the whole point of LTE because we now have proper speed to do such things just as we would on a desktop computer).
[Thunderbolt General] mcmillanje:
You are confusing smartphone data with mobile broadband. Two separate things. Mbb

Plans are for dedicated hotspots, aircards, and tablets.
[Thunderbolt General] mcmillanje:
I don't mind throttling as long as it's not too slow. 2-3mbps wouldn't bother me.
[Thunderbolt General] Cg006:
i am a almost at 7gb. cycle ends 4/21

I done some light tethering. Mostly stuff on the phone. Pandora, speed tests, browsing, facebook, etc. 4g data is insane.

The pricing structure definitely needs to be changed for 4g data. 2-5gb would be insane.
[Thunderbolt General] sdorn77:
I think the T-bolt is using more data than other phones for some reason. I used to barely hit 500mb on my Incredible in a month, and I am at almost 3GB this month on my T-bolt. It is connected to WiFi at home and at work, so I am only on LTE when I am commuting or otherwise away from home which isn't that often. I would say at most 1gb of that has been downloading ROMs, but otherwise I can't explain it. I haven't tethered at all other than once or twice to make sure it worked.

I actually have a LTE USB modem as well that I connect to a Cradlepoint router in my office which is what my T-bolt is connected to all day long at work along with my iPad. It hardly shows any data use, though. I am only up to about 1.2GB for this month, and that is mostly because I watched a couple of shows on Hulu on my iPad.
[Thunderbolt General] wrb123:
I've used 7GB so far, 21 days into my billing cycle. I have watched maybe 10 two-minute youtube videos, used xda app, wordfeud, downloaded some driver files for my laptop, facebook... no streaming hulu or netflix or anything. it does seem excessive, because i used to use 5GB max per month on sprint. then again their wimax and 3g are both awful and practically unusable. maybe my several dozen speedtests have contributed to the usage... hrmm
[Thunderbolt General] tekonus:
I've had my TB for about 10 days now. Looked on MyVerizon to check my usage: 55mb

I'm on wifi all day at work and at home. Not the anyone cares... just wanted to throw that out there seeing that everyone that has posted seems to be using well over 5gb lol.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Hello,

I just flashed Cronos 1.2 last night, and after overclocking to 1GHz(62vsel), I noticed that my battery felm warm.

This morning the temperature had jumped up to 38C, but is presently at 34C. I used to run around 28C on CM7 and am wondering if these temps are normal? Should I downgrade my O/C to 900MHz?

Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tomcheng76:
38C is definitely fine.

When i surf the web using 3G network, it is always 37C+

you can set a tempature profile using setCPU to lower the clock speed if temp. is high

You can edit /system/etc/init.d/10overclock using ROOT Explorer to change the speed to max 900Mhz. Also try to lower the vsel in the 10overclock file, it saves a lot of battery life
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Right now, my overclock is set at 1GHz, with a 62 vsel. I have a stable overclock file from FroyoMod 2.6.0, that would save me a lot of battery life and it was clocked at 900MHz, just curious as to what are normal temperatures are, I'm used to sub-30C on normal browsing :P
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] drax89:
I generally try to keep my battery from going any higher than 32 when browsing the 'net, but I did notice that on higher vsels it got hotter. I wouldn't call it dangerous, but remember that the more you're draining the battery, the faster it'll die. I don't mean lose its charge, I mean it just won't hold a charge any more. Lithium Ion batteries are rated for 500 charges, so if you need to charge the phone once a day, you'll be out of a battery in a year and a half.

If it reaches 40+ I would start to worry, though. The difference from 900 MHz at 52 vsel and 1 GHz at 62 vsel doesn't warrant using, in my opinion.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
It looks like the spike to 38C was a random spike, because right now it is anywhere from 32-34C, so I think it might have just been one spike that made the phone get really hot!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] c0l3:
I also think that the milestone is getting really hot. I think thats kind of annoying
