GPS can "fake" a compass by comparing the relative position of two data points -- if you move five feet to the east, the GPS can assume you're facing east.

But that won't be enough for an app like this, since a GPS cannot work as a compass accurately if you're standing still and rotating. It would only work if you're willing to walk around in a ~10' circle to change the direction. Probably not an easy sell. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venom037:
Guys,

Can someone explain to me how the TD2 claims 50% more batter life then the TD???? The TD is 900 mah and the TD2 is 1100 mah... how is this 50% more or am I missing something?

I was thinking that maybe the TD2 uses a diff kind of battery but its the same Lith ion is it not?

Then I was thinking that maybe its the hardware but the TD2 has better specs then the TD so shouldnt it use more juice?

Then the TD2 screen size is bigger so shouldnt that also use more battery power?

So it excapes me how the TD2 has 50% more battery life??? I ask because I am considering to get the TD2 so I'm doing my due dilligance. My other choices are the HTC Touch HD and the Nokia N97.

thanks guys

new battery for diamond 2

I use since one week this battery (1350mA)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/DIAMOND2-LONG-LIFE-BA-S360-COMPATIBLE/dp/B002AANPYG

and it works fine, round about 30% more power! same size as original one and not expensive.

between TD2 and Touch HD, I think I'm going to go for the TD2. Now the decision is between Nokia N97 and TD2....

humm.....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjauquet:
Well, I was asking myself the same question.

After looking at the size of booth ...well, if TD2 is 1100mah ... then TD1 is 600Mah ..

I think that the 900mah of the battery of the td1 was not true.

Look at this pic, the TD2 battery is almost the double of the size of the TD1...

(remember that the TD2 is bigger than the TD1)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venom037:
tho the size is bigger its still not double i think.... hence it must be something to do with the ROM of the TD2 that is more energy efficient is all i can come up with... I doubt its the touch flow 3D as more was added to it and from that perspective, I would assume it uses more battery.. oh well....

Does anyone actually use the TD2 now who also had the TD as I think those people would know best.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suge_liang:
thats true..

Rom does matter.

2 things that affect the battery life a lot

ROM version and Radio Version.

but according to my experience using newest HTC mobiles, i fells no worry.

upgrading to new official ROM and got so much improvements

I've tryed to upgrade using VMWare (running a XP SP3 virtual machine), but when the phone goes to Bootloader mode, the VMWare loose the USB connection... When i switch to Windows Vista, there isn't any device that correspond to my Mobile Phone... Since Vista cannot "see" the phone anymore, the VMware doesn`t "see" it too...

P.s for you with the camera issue, try installing a new radio firmware after the hardSPL upgrade.

Good luck to you, hopee i t works
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Khrushy:
If you've got one of the newer ROM's on your phone, you'll need the 1.65.XXX radio or higher I think, they include newer drivers that some of the new ROMs require.

Try flashing a few new radios onto your phone, one should fix it for you.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] samcham:
The other day, Messaging on my Tilt started acting weird, so I did a hard reset. That solved the problem with Messaging, but then I decided to play around with one of the WM6.5 ROMs. Flashed that, didn't like it, so I re-flashed the official AT&T WM6.1 ROM.

I was getting 1 to 1 1/2 days battery life before all this. Yesterday I left home at 6:30, and it was dead by 2:00. I've installed Kaisertweak and am pretty sure I made all my usual selections. I haven't installed any software that wasn't there before. The Today screen includes plugins for SBSH Phoneweaver and SBSH Pocket Weather, and I'm running Lordsmiff's Battery Level. But they were all there before.

BTW, the battery itself is only 3 months old, and is not likely to be the culprit.

Obviously, I've missed something, but I can't figure out what it might be.

Any thoughts???

[G1 Android Development] dumfuq:
If anybody is interested I split the busybox man page up into lots of different text files and wrote a small script to call less on them when the 'man' command is invoked (because I missed having man pages in the terminal)

[UPDATE] Added install script because updating ROMS removes files and I don't want to types this crap everytime I update my ROM.

Using Install script:

Extract man_pages.zip and place folder on sdcard

$ sh /sdcard/man_pages/man_install (as root of course)

Using ADB to install:

Extract man_pages.zip onto Desktop

$ adb remount

$ adb push Desktop/man_pages/man.txt to /system/bin

$ adb push Desktop/man_pages/man /system/usr/share/man

$ adb shell

# mv /system/bin/man.txt /system/bin/man

# chmod 755 /system/bin/man

# exit

Using your phone to install:

Put Extracted man_pages.zip folder in /sdcard

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

$ cp /sdcard/man_pages/man.txt /system/bin/man

$ chmod 755 /system/bin/man

$ cp -r /sdcard/man_pages/man /system/usr/share/

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

Usage:

$ man [program]

If no program name is given, all possible options are listed (highly

recommended that you pipe it through more).

$ man | more # enter for next line, space for next page.

When viewing a man page use the following to navigate:

back one page: 'b'

back half page : 'u'

backward one line: 'return', 'e' or 'j'

forward one page: 'space' or 'f'

forward half page:: 'd'

forward one line: 'k' or 'y'

quit: 'q'

Updated files [6-22-09]

-renamed ckear.man to clear.man (just in case anybody forgot how to

invoke 'clear')

-updated man script to show possible pages when invoked with no

argument.

-combined files to one zip file which includes an installer script)

Known Issues:

-Formatting is corrupted when using through adb shell on Windows machine (affects the entire instance of cmd.exe).

This is awesome! Thanks so much!

A few helpful tips:

adb remount

--From within a man page, hit spacebar to scroll forward, b to scroll back, and q to quit.

Thanks ohnoezmafone for the tips. Didn't even think of noobs wanting man pages, but I guess they need them more than anybody.

[G1 Android Development] dumfuq:
You did nothing wrong, just tried it myself. Its a bug. Works fine using adb from linux(gentoo) or from command prompt on phone itself. But apparently "less" screws up cmd.exe when using adb from windows(xp). I'd say leave it as "more" if your gonna use it through adb shell on a windows box.

Honestly when I did this I never even thought about using it through adb shell. I would switch it to "more" myself but "less" is traditional and besides "more" is less and "less" is more.

[Touch Cruise General] bveldkamp:
Hi all,

I just started with Android. I downloaded the latest polaris bundle from androidonhtc.com, copied everything to my htc touch cruise, and started haret. What do you know, everything worked out-of-the-box! (Well, I didn't have a keyboard, but it's a start). However, after rebooting to windows mobile, and starting haret again, it hangs when the "Loading Linux" progressbar is at 100%. The only way to get out of there is to remove the battery, the power button does nothing anymore.

I already removed the installed files, and copied the originals again, but that didn't help, so I assume that something has changed.

Any help is appreciated.
