[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
that depends on the charging source.

if you use a laptop you will only be getting 200-300mA of current, a normal PC USB port will give you around 500mA, the wall charger will give you 1A (1000mA)

Now its not as simple as that as the device uses some of that power for working as we cant charge whilst off, so knock 100mA off it if the screen is on, on standby it'll be minimal so forget that.

1A charger should get you charged in ~1.5 hours

PC will double it to ~2.5 hours, some PCs do have 1000mA ports so say ~1.5-2.5 hours)

laptop could be ~4-6 hours (some laptops do have 500mA ports so say ~2.5-6 hours)

note you can get 2A quick chargers (~35min-45min, but i would be very careful with those an can ultimately lead to a shorter life span of the battery
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] stealth21:
Thanks for quick reply, i tried computer it took so long..

Although I'm using wall charger nowadays it takes more then 3-4 hours. Theres something wrong, When i had winmo6.5 the device was fully charged in 2.5 hours...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
yeah that doesnt sound right, the battery its self is only 1230mA, the wall charger is 1000mA on standby within WP it should draw any more than 10mA but lets say 100mA on the extreme side, that gives you a net gain of 900mA every hour which is like 1 hour 20min.

I assume its the 1A charger that came with the device? check the adaptor and see what the current output is listed as

according to your figure of 3 hour charge time ( again, assuming from flat) that means its dumping around 400mA in to the battery an hour. That means one of two things

Firstly that your device is using an incredible 600mAh, that would be toasty and is unlikely!

Secondly, the charger isnt putting out 1000mA, more likely 500mA or 300mA

I suppose there is a third option, something gone wrong in the device its self, i cant think why it would tho, try running it near flat, restart it, make a note of the battery level then restarting again (you restart twice because WP on the HD2 has battery reporting issues) hold down the VOL down button on reboot which will take you in to the bootloader.

plug in the charger and leave for half hour, go back to windows and look at battery (remember to set the clock properly again!)

if the charger is 500mA it will have only charged to just less than 1/3

if its 1A it will be just less than 2/3 maybe half

the point of doing it in the bootloader is that you rule out WP and its dodgy drivers and will help to narrow down the problem
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zcdg:
Check charge current in Battery tool apps. Battery current - positive figures are charging current.negative discharge.

To get high charging current(more than 200 ma) from power suply(wall or car) usb data lines must be shorted(fast charging mode). On ploperly made power supplies usb data shorted and phone can suck high current(700-800ma normaly not more).

Even if on charger written 1000ma it doesn't mean phone wil take all. what is written on charger - it is max allowed.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
Indeed, although from my own tests it draws around 900mA, there is a large number of variables including power fluctuations on a dirty line regulated supplies, state of the battery, etc, its safe to play with estimates I think in this case without overcomplicating things, but the fact remains, on a wall charger that comes with the HD2 it should fully charge in around 1.5 hours unless it is not the same charger or something is wrong with it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zcdg:
yes, with correct wall or car charger it charges in about 1.5 hours from almost empty to full.

Hi there... I am running The orange cwr that I grabbed from this forum. I am getting very frustrated because none of my backups will work. I get md5 check sums errors. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thank. You!

Just restored one last night from 2 days ago, so it doesn't appear to be systemic.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] grehdaemon:
any details on what you are running as far as your rom, kernel, ect. I haven't had any problems while running stock, any rom, or the various kernels.. I'm not sure if this will help, but I personally would redownload (i think that's a word) Rom Manager, reflash the lastest version of CWM then reflash the version that is modified for the TF. I had issues before I flashed solarnz's version, that was due to nubness and not isolation the media though (kinda irrelevant).

Hope that helps some

Never had a problems with nandroid backup or restore
[Eee Pad Transformer General] branshaw09:
PERFECT! That did the trick. I thought I updated my CWR when I rooted, but I guess I didnt have this one. Thanks so much!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aerox912:
I'm also not having problems with bad nandroid backup's.

Only thing is, i think it skips the kernel for whatever reason.

Could one of you guys check next time if nandroid also reverts the kernel, because i flashed ubuntu yesterday, before i had clemsyn rom + kernel combo. which i made a nandroid of. i flashed prime 1.5 with roach's kernel, then after that, i installed ubuntu. when i got back to android and restored my nandroid i found out that there was the roach's kernel while it should be clemsyn's OC kernel.

Can anyone confirm this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PePPeRmix:
Have some problem too, can't update from SD in Clockwork

After flash with nvflash, that's problem removed...
[EVO 4G General] iWearNoHat:
So, I've heard all over the place that they are essentially the same thing.

Can I get any details past that? Nobody ever provides any support with statements like those.

I've used both, and for the most part, I can't tell a difference from the surface, so I wanted to see if anybody can give me a better explanation on their differences.

Edit:

-Title change to include which kernel to use.
[EVO 4G General] SoraX64:
As far as I know, Deck's ROM is basically CM but more stripped down and stock, for the most part. There aren't very many differences that you'd really notice, both are great. Both are AOSP, and so on. They are, as you said, essentially the same, with a few little changes here and there that you won't really notice much.

Kernel will depend entirely on your phone. No two phones are alike when it comes to kernels and ROMs. I'm using CM7.1 and Tiamat 3.3.7 SBC and getting 20+ hours of battery life with a stock battery.

From what I've gathered SZ is usually better for performance, and Tiamat is better for battery life. I wouldn't take that as a fact though.
[EVO 4G General] sobis1dm:
Yea, the performance/battery life differences are impossible to measure. I for one get better performance (stability) on Tiamat, while SV bogged my phone down but gave better battery. Results will vary, big time.
[EVO 4G General] cnstarz:
i too would like to know the differences. i dont know why he doesn't just say what the differences are in the first post of his thread.
[EVO 4G General] xchompondizx:
I second that.
[EVO 4G General] sobis1dm:
He does, or did at least. Deck is essentially CM7 only the stock launcher is there instead of ADW, a lot of CM's extra software is absent, and the code which is unnecessary for Evo is cleaned up.
[EVO 4G General] cnstarz:
why is there code that is unnecessary for the evo in the evo versions to begin with? isn't that why we have evo devs on the CM team?
[EVO 4G General] bee976:
Since cm7 is so widespread throughout different devices it is developed as a whole and then tweaked to work on each specific device. This means that there are parts that are essentially for other devices on the rom, they don't harm anything but they do take up memory. the main difference that I notice between the two is internal memory space...decks has more than cm7.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
They are all very smiliar. I've tried all 4 combinations and settled on Deck/SZ for 2 reasons:

1. Deck is tailored to Evo, CM7 is many more phones

2. Lower power usage on SZ at same voltages
[EVO 4G General] jimisdad:
I may be wrong but I think decks is also for different phones and tablets. I love decks over cm though. My phone is always super stable.
[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
deck's i think was originally made for evo but as of this page i am pretty sure it is made for more phones as well

anywho never ran cm. had some friends who had it on there phones and its pretty sweet but i really love decks because it just is awesome. i have always used tiamat and never had a dead battery at the end of the day (after some conditioning as well)

I completely recommend deck's rom and kernels all work well so its just up to you if one works it works :)
[EVO 4G General] iWearNoHat:
I decided to try Deck/SZ first. I guess I'll report in later on
[EVO 4G General] interloper:
All of the kernels and Roma mentioned have websites with change logs that will allow you to see what work has gone into the product. I like AOSP Roms and have settled on SALVAGEMOD with the stock kernel which is Tiamat 3.3.8 I believe. If you like Sense try Synergy. Lotsa friendly people on that thread, good devs and loads of links to mods. I am of the opinion that it is best to just try everything then form an opinion. Have fun and good luck!

Agree. This cover is very nice, grippy and seems like good protection without a lot of added thickness or weight. Only possible complaint is the cover material seems to attract dust - but not nearly as much as a silicone skin.

Is it working for you? It was working fine for me until I reverted back to my stock rom from CM7. Now when ever I take a screen shot the phone just freezes and I gotta pull the battery in order for it to start working. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
I got some moisture in my A500 while putting a screen cover on it and the unit was misbehaving. I have that cleared up now (hopefully), but noticed something about the microphone. It was partially covered by a tag from one of the wiring looms! I don't know if moving this tag out of the way will improve the microphone, but it sure as heck aint going to hurt it! Since the microphone points away from you as you hold the tablet, I'm not sure it's ever going to pick up your voice properly.

Pics are attached

Rob

update: I put my a500 back together, but forgot I had the sd card still in there. The end result was that I cracked the sd card which renders it useless. I'll have to buy another one now. The microphone recording volume is still quite low, no improvement there. I think it's a design oversight and any tablet should probably have front and rear facing microphones. Only use the one facing away for video recording, othewise use the one facing the user.
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelh99:
Did you try turning the mic over? Maybe they made two mistakes. Putting the mic in wrong and then covering it with the tag
[Acer Iconia A500] e_orea:
The A500 has a 2 microphones array, for noise canceling effect.

The microphone you put the tag label away from is the noise canceling one, the main microphone is just at the left of that one and its facing front. As you put away that tag you may have an improvement on the noise canceling effect, if you try to turn over the mic it will not harm the device but I'm pretty sure it will not help noise canceling.

Holding the A500 landscape and dock port down, the gap of the front facing mic is between the screen glass and the upper frame, is just right in the middle, it is hard to see but can be seen from certain angles and light conditions.

Also you provided the proof that I'm not writing nonsenses, in the first picture attached, there are those two alike connectors, both have plugged microphones, and they have the same tag flap with the same codes and digits imprinted. If you look closely you can see the edge of the front facing mic, it's at the left of the back facing mic and it's almost covered by the circuit board where both microphones connectors are.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I as well had taken my tablet apart due tons issue with video cable loose.and noticed exactly where the mice are at. Thinking about going tobeadeo shak or order from black box better mic to out in.I have done this on laptop before
[Acer Iconia A500] e_orea:
I did a few recordings to test the noise canceling array, and be able to notice the noise canceling effect when recording video with front facing camera, when recording with back facing camera, I notice no noise canceling, the recording level is a little low, but was ok, I'm not sure if this feature is binded to which camera the user is using during record, also I have no professional equipment or applications to make sure that the noise canceling effect/feature was working or not.

I agree that this kind of double microphone array should be a lot more user friendly, letting a user decide to use both microphones, or using only one and which one, or turn on or off noise canceling, or any other feature as the recording level, will not harm anyone. And having the device defaults to record using front facing camera with front mic and noise canceling, and when using back facing camera with back mic, without noise canceling, will work as most users wanted it to work.
[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
The microphone on my third A500 is working great so far. I returned the second one today because the microphone audio was very low. It's still running 3.01 stock because the 3.01 OTA update isn't available yet for my unit.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drdeathly:
I'm running the latest Stock Gingerbread ROM, is there a way to add CIFS support? I get the impression from what I've read that I may have to go back to Froyo if I want CIFS support because the only kernels I see that support CIFS are Froyo kernels. Am I getting that right or is there a way to add it to my kernel?

Thanks,

DrD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] github:
Yes, you will have to wait until HTC releases their Gingerbread kernel source before any custom kernels can be made.

Go bug them on facebook, twitter, e-mail, etc. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp0d:
I'm not trying to rush any projects, just a bump of this thread because it appears the kernel has been open sourced (finally!). That and the fact I do not know anything about cooking kernels so I am at the whim of the devs.. haha

Can't wait to try mounting my home NAS to my phone! :)
[Droid X General] Galaxy80:
I really do hate this phone. No matter what I do I have nothing nut problems. I've tried stock and that sucks. Freezing and restarting all the damn time. I tried rooting. Same bullsh*t but it takes me 4+ hours to get my phone running . I spent from 9pm last night until 3am and then 1-4 this afternoon to get my phone running. I couldn't get Liberty to run right. 3g wouldn't work. Went back to prerooted gb and got my internet working again. Went to take a video and my phone freezes. Had to do a battery pull and lost the video which I can't get back. I don't care what anyone says but F*CK android! I've never had so many headaches and frustration in my life! I seriously want to throw this POS on the ground and go back to a regular dinosaur phone. If I do get another smartphone it will be an iphone. My gf has a iphone 3g and she doesn't have HALF of the problems I have. I seriously want to walk onto the Verizon store and smash this phone across the face of the person that sold it to me. $200 for something that I ha e nothing but issues with plus over $100 to use it. I'd be better off flushing that money down the damn toilet!

Lol I found this rant amusing. Any way obviously you have a defective phone. Get it replaced. Quit complaining. Ha ha.

[Droid X General] Galaxy80:
If you guys only went through what I've been going through, it wouldn't be so funny. I've seriously had enough of dealing with problems all the time. I can't just get a new phone because I've had this phone since November. Unless I do an insurance claim. You've all had freezes and restarts before, but you just put up with it like I did until I finally had enough..
[Droid X General] socalracer:
lmao. 500k activations per day android and xda dont need u. i have iphone4 and dx. i hate the iphone. some people the iphone suits them better. usually they cant figure out android
[Droid X General] pl0ppy:
Woah, woah! Calm down dude. I have a HTC Wildfire with a development ROM on it which isn't even finished! And I use it daily without any problems. Try more Custom ROMs, sometimes the manufacturer rushes the ROM to hit deadlines, but developers (usually) don't.

But if you REALLY hate your Droid X, get an iPhone or a cheap old phone.
[Droid X General] openbox9:
First, have you tried a factory reset? Second, if you've only had the phone since Nov and it's truly defective, take it to VZW and swap it out. Your warranty is a year ;)
[Droid X General] allcity187:
My brother had the same issue with his droid x, he just called Verizon I they sent him a replacement phone, he was still under warranty. They actually sent him 3 phones cuz every time they sent him one it was defective. The last phone he got is so far working well. I told my brother when he gets a new phone maybe he should get a htc or samsung.
[Droid X General] Galaxy80:
I've done more factory resets than I can count. I've been having problems with Liberty it's not funny. I'm trying to wait until CM7 is a little more stable. Right now, I'm running prerooted GB because I couldn't get 3g internet working on Liberty v.08 or v.09. The 3g would be there, but it wouldn't connect. When I flashed the prerooted GB .zip, my 3g started working immediately. Then, I tried to email and Twitter jrummy16 to try to get help with the issue, and he hasn't responded. I understand he's a busy man, but you should really deal with issues with your own apps and roms. I wasn't disrespectful or angry in these messages. In fact, I begged him for help. In Liberty toolbox, when you go to update and it tells you after you download the rom that it's going to restart in recovery and flash it, my phone just restarts normally. I did this 10 times with no luck. I had to use bootstrap to do it, and the damn 3g didn't work. I just want a phone that works. It will work for about a month after I flash something and then the problems start. My gf has an iphone 3gs and she hasn't had hardly any problems at all with her phone. The only problems she's had are with some apps not working. Before I got this phone, I went through 4 wildfires because those kept crashing multiple times a day, and 2 Motorola Milestone XT720s for the same reason..
[Droid X General] johntsuei:
Hater...

I was just wondering if you still breast feed. That may just explain your temper tantrum. If it took you 4+ hours just to root your DX then stop messing with your phone. Only operate your phone based on what the manual says. Enjoy! :D
[Droid X General] Galaxy80:
I ran my phone stock until the GB OTA. When I had all kinds of problems, I finally rooted and ran Liberty 2.0.1 Froyo. It didn't take me that long to just root it. It took me hours to get it runnig right because of issues with Liberty. It's not my fault Liberty Toolbox has a bug in it and won't restart into recovery. The first time I tried to upgrade from 2.0.1 to GB, my phone locked up at the M logo. I pulled the battery, restarted into recovery, cleared the memory and cache 5 times each, and it still didn't work, so I had to SBF back to froyo, root, then download the prerooted GB file from another source because the one I had was corrupted, flash that, then when I had to manually flash Liberty v.08 THEN v.09, my 3g wouldn't work. I spent about an hour on the phone with customer service just to make sure there wasn't a 3g issue in my area, then I flashed back to GB prerooted, data wipe/clear cache 5 times each time, and I'm still having issues.. There comes a point where after going through all of that bull****, you finally have had enough. When I ran my phone completely stock, I had freezing/reboot issues. When I root, I have issues. No matter what I do, I have issues. You can all clown and I really don't care. Until you go through what I've been through, you won't understand...

When walking into a phone store, someone should hand you a tablet with a solid test to test your phone/smartphone knowledge, user accessibility and the ability to know how to perform simple self diagnostics/troubleshoot on your device.

Based on your score, you'll get the device that meets your tested IQ, or in most cases and certainly the OPs case, a swift kick in the ass out of the store with a 20% coupon to the nearest Walmart for a self service prepaid Tracphone.
