Just do a backup with titanium backup it should keep you from losing your data.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coffeedesk:
Ok.. will try that.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coffeedesk:
I have downloaded the Titanium Backup App. However my phone isn't 'rooted' and I run the very serious risk of bricking it if I do something wrong. thats a very real risk of a LOT of my hard earned money doing down the tube. Any words of wisdom on rooting...

Found this: pocketnow.com/android/how-to-root-your-htc-desire-hd

Is it safe to follow this how to?

this is such unexplored territory for me and much of this is WAYY over my head. I'm willing to try it, but I really cant afford another phone, so please humor me and give me your informed opinion.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coffeedesk:
Thanks for your help. Did a hard reset and a couple of hours later, the outgoing call function works!! WOOO HOOO for that part of it. However, my phone was not rooted and I lost all my apps..:(

Thanks anyway!
[Android Apps and Games] Rural:
Sorry if this has already been answered, but forum search isn't working for me here.

Is there yet any way for non Tegra 2 phones to play the Tegra 2 games? I heard rumours about something called "drive fool" and read somewhere else that someone was playing it on his HTC Desire HD, one he "put Tegra 2 in the phone".

Bullshite?
[Android Apps and Games] philburkhardt:
Drive Fool?

I would also like to give Drive Fool a shot, but I can't find it anywhere. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would much appreciate it.
[Android Apps and Games] Rural:
I actually doubt Drive Fool even exists, since I've spent the last hour on Google, trying to find at least a clue where to get it, but not even that.

Anyway, if Drive Fool proves real and trustworthy, that'll be the reason to root.
[Android Apps and Games] philburkhardt:
Yeah, me too, I found a mention of it in some forum. But, there was no indication where to get it.

If it exists, it will pop up here eventually. Probably sooner than later. This kind of stuff doesn't get past XDA.
[Android Apps and Games] DaKlown:
Well i'm not sure about the games that use physx and other tegra specific stuff but there are some Tegra games that work fine on other phones. I am currently playing pinball hd on my evo. Not much but its a start ;)
[Vibrant Accessories] baldwithglasses:
Any Vibrant owners use their phones on their bikes? Did you use the bike's electrics to charge your phone?
[Vibrant Accessories] SaintJimmy76:
I've been going through the process of mounting my Vibrant to my bike. At first I tried a small map pouch attached to the gas tank. I didn't care for it because my phone would be cooking under the Houston sun.

Now I'm using one of the multi-purpose car dashboard mounts you can find at Autozone. I took off the cheap adhesive pad and glued the mount to my tachometer using water/heat resistant superglue.

Now that my phone is up under the tinted windscreen the Sun never cooks my phone and it makes changing songs, 4square check-ins, and texting so much easier.

[Galaxy S II General] r_a_c:
Ok I was trying to search abouth this but haven't found abouth it here.

When my battery is under 10%, you can't select display brightness anymore in the display option menu. I don't use energiesaving. Is this normal that samsung manages the brigntness itself than? It's annoying because I want to use my 10% battery on full brightness if I want too!!

I can adjust it with the widget, however when I open my browser it sets back to samsung dimming it... so not possible than.

Also you can not use camera at lower battery of 20 or 15%, not sure wich one, just noticed it today; I think 15%. Why the f*ck is that? Again: Why can't I choose what to do with my last 15%?

As far as I was searching I didn't find an option to turn this off. Anybody else maybe?

Thanks for answering these two questions!!

Oh and a little question: The battery usage graph, when is it reset and does it start counting again? Only when you put the plug in untill it is 100%?
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
this has been the default behavior even with SGS1. You can't snap pictures, listen to music, view videos, raise brightness when your battery is low.

I think there is no way to alter this behavior.

To your other question - the batt stats in that little app will reset when you charge to full 100% and it gives you that message "batt is charged, disconnect the charger".
[Galaxy S II General] r_a_c:
Ok thank you!

I find this pretty annoying. Verry friendly of samsung to think abouth my battery not spending on media things, and i could make important calls if I need to:p! But I am old enough to spend my battery on what I find important, pff:D.

Oh well, maybe rooting in the future(or wouldn't that effect it?)... Don't know much aboutch that yet, first android. But will look into it:p.
[Galaxy S II General] sgstwo:
Most likely you would need to patch the code to fix this. Someone will do it eventually. It hasn't bothered me enough for me to want to patch it. But I agree, it's stupid. If I want to take pictures when the battery is at 15% or lower, I should be able to do that. If I want to watch a movie when the battery is less than 10%, I should be able to do that.
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Interesting. What if Samsung didn't implement this features and when your last 10-15% of your battery is dying fast with all your setting and you couldn't make any important calls or email or message will you be complaining to Samsung for not implementing any battery saving features?

With 10-15% of my battery left I will save as much battery as I can to save for any important things before I reach home.

People's need is hard to pleased. One wanted this another one doesn't want that. Never ending story. Haha.

Wait for custom rom to remove this features. =D
[Galaxy S II General] Rolfiboy:
Thinks its a security feature too protect your battery and your fone.

Lithium batteries are very sensitive when they are almost drained. Normaly your fone will shutdown when the batteri voltage reach about 2,5V, if the voltage go lower on a lithium batteri, it will not accept a new charge and can explode if force charged.

Another thing is that lithium batteries have higher impedance the lower the voltage is on the batteri and its not after af liniear scale. Lets say the voltage on the battery is about 3V when the fone is reporting 10% left. The problem is that the impedance is very high at that voltage, so if you drain to much power, the voltage on the battery will drop under the safe voltage limit immediately, render your battery useless, and possibility to harm your fone and you if force charged.
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
no nobody would be complaining because not a single other android phone does this behavior, and people seem just fine not yelling about anything. :D

i agree this behavior should have an on/off setting. someone will fix it wiht custom ROM let's hope.
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
Yeah and not to be able to use camera when battery is lower than 20% is ridicilous! There is still 20% juice left. Camoon Samsung!!

I could somehow understand if it starts when under 10% left but I still prefer that I can personally decide whether or not save battery when running out.

For Desire I always had extra battery with me. I could use it 100% until the battery died and just change to next one.

Now basically the already bad battery life has been taken 20% away cause you cant do **** after that.
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Haha, true true. Hope this can be fixed in custom rom. :D

Oh, my mate just complaint to me about this a moment ago. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAMIE1000UK:
Sorry for the caps, my question is whats the average battery use of your gingerbread galaxy tab. Yesterday i charged my tab over night and ran it all day long. My battery status screen stated i actually ran it on battery power 11hrs 10mins!

But before that when i first flashed the gingerbread rom i got max 6-7hrs worth.

What battery use are you guys getting from the new rom?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan@msx:
So far 2 days 7 hours and 35 minutes and still have 44% left.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonCraddock:
I flashed mine at the weekend on a full charge and its still reporting 64% that's with around 1.5hrs light use and 3G running 24/7.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan@msx:
Same here. Sunday afternoon it got jq1 plus cf root, overcome 2.0.0 beta2 then touchwiz4, wifi been on since as hve all data conections through 3g. Kids have been playin games for 2-3 hours aswell as 2-3 hours browsing, media player and i watched a 2 hour film sunday night
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SonicTab:
Gingerbread is incredible, battery life and browser are so much better.

The browser in the tab now is better than any Honeycomb tablet I tried too.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pibach:
Seamingly my tab has a problem, as I get around 5 hours of continous usage, not more. this does not serve for a full day, unfortunately. It is more or less same as on froyo. I am using Overcome v2.0. Launcher Pro, imo.im messenger, push mail. That's it. No other widgets or actualisatons. Unhappy :(
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkmattar:
Try resetting battery stats on full charge cycle if there's nothing listed as being a battery hog in the monitor?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aygriffith:
I've been using mine all day on Wifi and am still at 64 percent used. Its almost as good as my 10.1 GT-P7510 Galaxy Tab which has a 7000mah LiPoly battery.

[HD2 General] proeliator2001:
My touch screen died on my HD2, it was one of the older versions bought in Jan last year. I sent it off to HTC in April and they've had it over a month now. They say the parts are in Taiwan but have no idea when they'll ship. I simply can't beleive such a big company can happily take my phone off me for over a month and still not be able to tell me when they'll repair it. And to top it off, they sent my proof of purchase, which had my name/address etc on it, to a totally different customer; the numpty repair shop had clearly shoved my paperwork in to some elses repaired HTC phone.

Anyone else have the same issues with them at the moment? Anyone managed to get a replacement handset out of them yet???

:mad:

[HD2 General] proeliator2001:
Funnily enough they sent me an email today to say the phone should be with me on the 25th and the delay was due to moving the repair centre. That's the first time they mentioned that, up till today, it was always "we're waiting on parts, not sure what's happening". If only people could be honest. At least they've offered a free accesory up to 50 quid as a way of saying sorry so that's not too bad. Still, this whole debacle makes me think my next phone won't be a Sensation but a Galaxy S2. I hope Samsung do better repairs!
[HD2 General] pride429:
Got the same call today - repaired phone will be back with me next week & I chose the Bluetooth Headset for £50 as a freebie from HTC (as an apology for the delay in returning the phone to me).

The experience has not made me want to jump from the HTC brand (been with them since the old days of the SPV) - therefore I will still be grabbing a Sensation when my contract expires in the next few months.
[HD2 General] dpgc213:

My HD2 finally arrived back today with a nice new working touch screen (just as HTC said it would).

Although the HTC website says that it is awaiting pick-up by the courier service :D

Now I have to find another screen protector & try my best to apply it minus dust bubbles & turned up corners.
[HD2 General] dpgc213:
Well, well.... Got my phone back today after 6 weeks and 5 days unrepaired, exactly with the same fault as when I sent it and with my battery missing to top it off.
[HD2 General] dpgc213:
HTC have now told me that I will be receiving a brand new Desire S for compensation, its supposed to arrive today or tomorrow.

Anyone else been offered a brand new phone for compensation?
[HD2 General] lukesan:
Lets say that my experience in the Benelux area is not much better.

The first time my HD2 got into repair, 1.5 months ago. 3 appointments to pick it up and not showing up with the most lame excuses.

Device was fixed after that in 1 week time which is good to me but the delivery back was another thing .... again.

The guy on the phone also asked me why I was angry after 3 missed appointments. Well if I do that in my current role I will not make it untill the end of the week.

Now after a month my phone has a MB problem and I already feared the support thing when it started happening. Needless to say I was right again!

Called in on Monday morning and was asked when it should be picked up. Two choices Tuesday 9am-1pm or 1pm-6pm, so I choose 9am-1pm.

They picked it up at 4:20pm. Not so funny when you think that I have to arrange my working day (and customers) for it.

To top it off. This morning I get an email that the device they received is not a desire hd as mentioned in the case but a hd2. sighhh

And I won't go into detail on what happened to my Touch Pro a year ago which went into service a couple of times and wasn't fixed at all.
[HD2 General] lukesan:
... and we have a winner ... again.

Got a message last Friday that my HD2 was ready.

Now this morning I asked Dynafix (the company that 'fixes' it in the Benelux)where it was and what was done to fix the issue.

'installed the latest rom' I was speechless.

I already told the HTC guy what was done before it was picked up and ofcourse installing the latest rom is one of them.

About 20 minutes later by coincidence I get customer care on the line asking me if I was satisfied with the repaired phone. (That I still don't have btw)

I mention what I just heard from the repaircenter and that the device will not work like it should.

It will have to come in 1 more time and then they can do a swap if it gets approved.

The device has not been working like it should since March the 27th.

I asked if it could get swapped for another model and I got a straight 'no'.

HTC is seriously getting on my nerves. Spending over 2000 Euros on phones over the past 3 years and not doing something in return for customers is not a good thing.

I was tempted to ask for a Sensation and pay a part of it myself but now I am more than tempted to get the Samsung S2.

Edit: The thing arrived 15 minutes ago ..... pop in battery and 5 minutes later ... stuck

Already recorded it to have some proof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7rswNyy2DI

Edit 2: Contacted HTC again to ask them if they can exchange it.

This really .... me of. They concider the last repair not a repair but a software upgrade so they will not exchange it.

Strange since I sent it in for a repair and already mentioned that I did a rom upgrade etc.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilesAeon:
Hello All,

So I am running CM 7.0.3 and have the netflix app running through a friend whom gave me a special APK. When I load the application all of the pictures appear on the screen and I can load video and playback is great (even without the hardware acceleration, though the tablet gets a touch warm). The problem is the information such as names, length and short description do not appear. The application itself actually only appears in portait mode with the soft keys at the top.

I was hoping to find out if this is a restriction set by the CM system and if its modifiable. My Engadget, Joystick and a few other news apps act the same way and it would be fantastic to get it into landscape mode. I am also hoping that getting this into landscape may fix the issue with the netflix text display issues. Otherwise thankfully I can usually tell what I am watching from the picture, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

Anyhow, If anyone knows if there's a way to change this please let me know and I would love to try it out.

Thanks!

Ok, so I have had this problem since I bought this Nook back in March and added it to my same Gmail account as my OG Droid. My overall list of installed apps on the D1 started shrinking as I installed on Nook.

So my question is, has anyone else run into this problem, or found a way to fix it?
