you shouldn't even recieve an OTA update notification if you follow directions, so you don't have to worry about that, and many apps on the market are actually FOR root users and only root users so you will not lose market obviously. the greatest thing about getting root is that you can basically make your phone do anything you want(so long as you are comfortable with linux commands and aren't afraid to temporarily "brick" you phone) but even if you kust want autorotate you will need to root the phone and you will need to grab a JF update. there is an app that someone has written, almost completely idiot proof rooting, and i am trying to help it to be COMPLETELY idiot proof, if you want to try it out search app that roots your phone and it should pop up
[G1 Android Development] mrmikemcguire:
Ok, so I have decided to go ahead and play with this and see what there is to offer.

I have successfully downgraded to the rc29 firmware and verified it in my phone. Now I have also done these instructions to get root;

Rooting your RC29 or lower phone:

On RC29 phones and lower, anything you type into your keyboard is also being run in a hidden console with root permissions. More information regarding that at the bottom of this post. But, to get root access, do the following:

Instructions:

Download recovery.img and copy it to your SD card (see the previous instructions on how to copy from your computer to your Phone's SD card).

Download the Hard SPL and copy the zip file to the SD card.

All files must be on the root of your SD card.

Restart your phone. Wait for your phone to start up fully and show the home screen.

After your phone starts up, hit the enter key twice, type "telnetd" and press enter. (Yes, it will start up a contact search, don't worry. Just type it.)

Download an Android "Telnet" application from the Market and connect to localhost.

If you connect successfully, you will have a root prompt "#".

Type the following into Telnet (these commands will give you root access easier in the future):

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd sdcard

flash_image recovery recovery.img

cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img

Now of course i dont know if it was successfull cause it doesnt tell you. Now here is my problem. I am trying to upgrade the rc33 now but with NO LUCK! Now the instructions say to download the file, rename to update.zip and go into recover mode and run update. However it keeps giving me the error "Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad). I have downloaded two copies and this happens with both and the radio version.

What am i doing wrong? I have tried to rename the file on both the phone and the computer, with the extension .zip and without it but with no luck. I have the file directly on the root of the sd card. Do I need any other files on the sd card? or just the zip file?

I have read and read, but I have not found a clear explanations.
[G1 Android Development] mannyb:
I'm not on a G1 (I'm on a Google dev phone that came rooted out of the box), and thus haven't gone through that process myself, but I seem to remember reading something about having to go through RC30/JFv1.3x and THEN to RC33/JFv1.4x. Not RC29 -> RC33/JFv1.4x directly.

I could very well be wrong though.
[G1 Android Development] mrmikemcguire:
Ok, well I did get it to install.. still working on it...

Definitely wierd. I'll update when i finish!

I successfully went from rc29 to rc33 v 1.41 but realized that the newest is 1.42 so thats loading now.

Its odd, it seems that my problem was when i was in recovery mode, I would alt L to bring up the menu and alt s to update from sdcard. It didnt work for nearly 10 times.. then all the sudden instead up alt L to bring up the menu, i just did alt S and it booted. I didnt realize that linux was that sensitive! Other than that, i'm about to play with the new firmware.

So there is no way to get an onscreen keyboard like chompsms? I kinda found that hard to believe.
[G1 Android Development] tubaking182:
while it is SUGGESTED that you go from 29 to 30 to 33(what ever happened to 31 and 32?) it is not necessary, i am gonna assume you are on windows and you may be naming it update.zip.zip because extensions are hidden. try it after just naming it update, and also make sure that you unmount the phone correctly after you put the file on there, a lot of times it is still writing data when you yank it out, and that will cause the (bad) error. hope this helps. if you get a file not found error after naming it update then just put the .zip extension back on the file and make sure you unmount properly
[G1 Android Development] mrcrb:
This, and maybe you've downloaded the 'build environment' package.

At my first attempt I got the 'bad' message, too. I didn't know which one to pick up so my first try has been 'ADP1 build environment'. Later with 'ADP1' (not the build environment one) no problem. Now I'm going with the UK because I wanted the UI in german and because some market apps didn't download with ADP.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] rarahim:
Hi, recently for no particular reason, my Tytn 1 built-in camera stopped working when taking videos and saving onto the storage card. When i click rec, then stop, a black still picture is displayed (normally it would show the first frame of the captured video). Capturing video to internal memory card works fine. Taking still pictures and saving onto storage card also works fine.

Repeating the rec and stop-rec actions shows incrementing filename as though the videos are actually saved but checking in the \storage\my documents\my videos\ folder shows empty folder. All my previously captured videos were also gone.

Please help... has anyone faced this similar problem and how to fix it? Thanks. :confused:
[Touch HD General] stimm:
I've searched about this subjects in the screenshot but i have not found a satisfactory solution for any of the issues, so as here in xda-developers there is the best of the best in pocket pc issues i beg for your help findind the solution.

many thanks to all the community for every moddification that made me happy with my phone.
[Touch HD General] McDonutz:
Go to menu > options and tick the show contact names only and it neatens that all up.

I know it isn't what you asked exactly, but it may be a comprimise for the time being.
[Touch HD General] arghness:
I can't tell you what the fixes are, I'm afraid, but I don't get the line number shown and I do get full numbers across the width of the screen with the standard Orange ROM in the UK, so it must be possible (have you tried flashing a different ROM?)

I don't generally filter by category, so I'm not sure if it's possible to set a default for that.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] dead2hill:
I didnt see this anywhere.. it probably is somewhere... so sue me if im reposting.....but...

if you are stuck on the android screen and dont want to take out battery and put sd in a card reader and all the fun enjoyable stuff that comes with altering the phone then...

open the slider.... press and hold power and call button... it should(98%) of the time bring up the power down menu and voice call menu at the same time.. just press home and youll be at your status bar.. nothing else though.. no menu or settings.. but you can connect usb and add files without the trouble of opening everything...so on and so fourth.. hope this helps someone....

again i apologize if this is a repeat... hopefully it will help someone....

thanx for lookin......!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] m4ntis:
good share ill be the first to say i didnt know that
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] dead2hill:
lol, im glad it will help someone...lol

i got tired of taking battery out and using the card reader so i started pressing buttons....lmao... vuala! it's saved me some time..... now if i could get help in my other thread i would be ecstatic!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] haykuro:
Another method would be booting into recovery mode (Power off, press and hold Home+Red until you see text scrolling and etc)

Then connect via USB, open an adb shell, mount your sdcard, and push/pull whatever you want.

[rawr@server ~]$ adb shell
# mount /sdcard
# exit
[rawr@server ~]$ adb push /home/rawr/Desktop/blahh.file /sdcard/blahh.file
37 KB/s (6865 bytes in 0.178s)
[rawr@server ~]$ adb shell reboot

This is great to know, I borrowed a microsd card reader from a friend and wasted about four hours not knowing this trick. Awesome, thanks.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] 71CH:
Thanks man. Bookmarking this for future use.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] haykuro:
haha same happened here, it's the sole purpose i even bothered checking if the ADB service was active in recovery mode. you're very welcome :)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] dead2hill:
I used that too but it sometimes is just easier, but yea thanx for adding that here. I know its gonna help someone
[G1 Android Development] Joeriginal:
1. I Reflashed to Dreamimg.nbh which is RC29 If I wait will I get the new update pushed to my phone, if not where can I get it.

2. By wiping and flashing the .nbh does that take care of everything, making all stock, T-Mobile wont see anything they are not supposed to, are they?

Thanks I just wanna make sure I do the exchange right, and they dont nail me on anything.
[G1 Android Development] AroundTheWorld:
1. Basically wait for the OTA update to come from there. If not, there are some websites that have the download link to the regular update (Phandroid had it up for a while, it might still be there if you look)

2. Nope, after you update using the standard RC33 update, they shouldn't be able to see anything other than a regular G1.
[G1 Android Development] BobbyHill:
Yeah just install the rc29 thing and you should be good to go. (The last one I sent back I did that and didn't even bother waiting for the ota)

I've also sent back one or two with JF builds still on them, and I've never gotten any hassles about it.
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
You can find OTA updates at http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=OTA_Updates
[G1 Android Development] mmafighter077:
It you changed the boot screen will the DREAIMG.nbh file (and applying it of course) make the boot screen stock again too?
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
No. the NBH only affects splash1, but not splash2. You can find the original splash screens in my post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=473248
[Touch HD General] andrewmpalmer2003:
Hi,

I have had this handset for around a month..

I have downloaded about 6 extra apps onto the handset..inc google maps, Microsoft Live applications, live player, and others.

However as the applications comes with plentry of extra memeory through the internal and extrnal surely it is meant for this.

However I have a problem with the battery life. The phone last for around 4 / 5 hours, and then dies !!!

I have ordered a replacement battery from orange, and maybe this will solve the problem.

I have not got the blue toothe on, and made sure the apps in use are shut down and not left open.

Can I have any comments from anyone that may have experienced this problem.

Thanks

Andrew
[Touch HD General] Wiggz:
What apps did you download onto your device? I seem to recall reading something about AEBPlus and mapping the wireless function which drains the battery...perhaps others know of more instances with other apps that might help?
[Touch HD General] andrewmpalmer2003:
apps downloaded are

Google maps

Google mail via JAVA

Live search ie maps, directions, web, and weather

messenger

windows live

I downloaded other smaller apps, however i have now deleted them, or have tried ( but i'll have to post re this, this is another issue )

[Touch HD General] Rudegar:
is it connected to wifi or 3g constantly ?

if so that would suck the batt out

my x1 works for 2 days without charging

because i dont have a constant connection

of those 2 sorts running and only have bluetooth on

when i'm using it
[Touch HD General] moullas:
1st thing: Check the activesync settings, if activesync is constantly on then you'll need the fake server fix, so that it won't automatically try to find a connection. Also, MoDaCo NoData is useful in this scenario as you can stop any data connection that you want.

2nd thing: Also check for anything else that may be running in the background. Special things to take notice are programs that may need to run all the time. Like a 3rd party alarm etc...

3rd thing: The charger may be screwed up. I had this with mine, and ended up using my Herald's old one. Try charging your mobile using USB (connected on a pc) and see what happens. If you miraculously get more battery life then it means your charger got borged.

Had similar issues, with the phone barely lasting half a day, and now i finish the day with 50% charge. (Activesync was very responsible for 25% of the battery).

Hope i've helped.
[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
I would suggest a hard reset, don't install ANYTHING and see how long it lasts. You probably just need to see it for 5 or 6 hours. After an overnight charge, I'll not be around 97% after 5 or 6 hours. If it's still draining without anything else installed then it is either your charger or your battery.
[Touch HD General] andrewmpalmer2003:
Hi all,

Thanks you very much for your replies.

I deleted one of the programs, and stil no sign of extra bettery life.

Then i went with the hard reset, ( bit of pain to re apply my email accounts ) this seems to be having an effect, as this obviosly got rid of all my extra programs.

Once i find out the battery life, I will re apply the programs i had on it, to see which ones zapps the battery power.

I hope it is not google maps, i had a lot of favourites saves on it. !!! blast

Thanks

[Touch HD General] pinx:
Which ROM are you using?

I get 2 days with ease on Dutty's 2.3 X ROM .
[Touch HD General] andrewmpalmer2003:
Hi Pinx,

Well i'm very PC lit, no so with the HDC HD,

This is what i've read from the settings about -

CE OS 5.2.20764 (BUILD 20764.1.4.3)

Processsor MSM7201A-528Mhz

Memory 195.83 MB

Expansion slot - 8GB HDSC Card. ( come with orange )

Is the one better what you suggested. ???

is the processor my RAM listed above ?

I must seem so niave !
[Touch HD General] nikki-m:
Testing with a batter logger, my HD typically draws around 275 - 300ma when switched on, but this can go up to 450ma if using extras like wi-fi, gps etc.

When in standby, it is drawing typically 35-50ma (but I can't measure this too accurately (because, er, the device is in standby!).

Charging through the usb cable to my laptop puts in 100ma, and through a mains charger a liitle more at around 150ma.

The battery is 1350ma - do the maths!! When constantly in use (eg when loading and testing the device), the battery is likely to last 2 - 4 hours. When in standby, it can easily last over 36 hours.

On a point of interest, I previously had loaded Davideuck's rom 6.5 v3, along with the 1.12 radio. I found the battery drained really quickly. When I changed to Davideuck rom V6 and 1.10 radio, the battey life improved greatly. Now, was this down to either the radio or the rom, or was it simply down to the fact that I spent a couple of days playing with the HD to test everything out??
[Touch HD General] ampi:
Battery life and GPS - strange behaviour

I too have noted extremely fast and seamingly randomized rapid battery drainage.

However, I have found something strange. If I use a any type of program that uses the GPS, the phones battery is draining fast aterwards. And I have made sure that any program/process using the GPS is shut down.

If I after having used the GPS soft reset the phone, battery is not affected almost anything in standby. Without the soft reset, the phone gets warm and battery is discharged very quickly.

Anyone else noticed this behaviour?

It is almost as if the GPS receiver is still running (?) even though all programs are shut down. No processes running in the background remaining from Google Maps, Tomtom, Efficasoft GPS or IGO 8 etc which I have tested with.

BR/

Ampi
[Touch HD General] srmz:
Yes I agree with the above post. After using google maps even though I closed it down fully and it does not appear in the active task list but the phone still gets hot and battery drains very very rapidly. If I do a soft reset then the battery returns back to normal and the phone is no longer heating up.
[Touch HD General] Dominion:
I get about 2.5 days with HSDPA on full time for push email and blue tooth on full time. Only a few calls a day.

If I put wi-fi on, then I have to charge by that evening. Wi-fi off and phone just lasts. Waaaay better than the TyTN 2 was. Happiness!
[Touch HD General] mike.waters:
Hi Andrew,

Touch HD has the longest battery life of any similar 'phone. See for example

http://www.pcauthority.com.au/News/137036,mobile-phone-battery-life-htc-vs-iphone-vs-the-rest.aspx.

Either your GPS is staying on after closing Google Maps (soft reset by holding down power button for 3 secs will solve this), or your battery is dud.

Hope this early experience doesn't put you off. After 4 smart phones, this is one of my favourites. You might try deleting Google Maps and replacing with TomTom 7.4. It's a much better program IMHO, and doesn't need to suck data off the net when travelling, but the maps are quite pricey...

Good luck.
[Touch HD General] Yaraslau:
Batti may be the problem?

For me Batti (Battery meter program) was the problem.

With this program installed I could hardly get 20% by the end of the working day with light usage.

But now after uninstalling Batti (and installing FInixNOver Battery Icons) I almost never get below 50% even with moderate to heavy usage!

So, my assumption is that Batti drains HD's battery by constantly polling it even when the device is off. At the same time FIxinNOver product only replaces standard icons without interfering into system's polling procedure.

I should also mention that my previous installing/uninstalling/hard-resetting "experiments" did not give any battery life improvement results.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
If you notice fast battery drain after using software which uses GPS etc, try using No Data

Handy software which allows you to easily toggle off either Internet, WAP or MMS. When you need to use GPS you can easily switch it on again

This happened to me in a few weeks ago. The touch screen either would not response, or that the alignment needed to be adjusted a few times a day.

The touch screen is working like brand new now. :)
