Hey sicknick (:

I didn't thought about what your saying...

if i dont disable the calls while i listen to music, all other things is off ?

Only calls are on,with the loudest volume,earphones, not via the speaker?

How much do you think?

I dont know if i could get a great musicplayer with a cellular...maybe iphone would be good, i don't know
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
With a Touch HD I get 10% drain per hour playing music.

With a TD2 I get the same. I can go 9-10hrs playing music. That is with everything off except the phone (3G) but not being used. No bluetooth, gps or wi-fi.

Be warned however, that some people get very poor results from their battery life. There are many threads you can find about this.
[Touch HD General] efi2222:
Hey

Do you have also diamond? because i don't like the diamond2...

You can disable gps? it's affect the battery while igo isn't running?

Sound intresting if you have 2G and not 3G. i guess i will check it myself...

What do you mean that some people get very poor results from their battery life? why? it's the same device and battery...

(:
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
GPS only comes on when an application is open that uses GPS otherwise it will be off. While some people have good battery life from various functions of the phone others report bad battery life. It does not seem to be consistent even though the device is the same and the battery same. No idea why.
[Touch HD General] efi2222:
strange...

And what about the diamond?

I will check myself on the HD;altough i guess its music player doesn't come close to COWON I7/COWON D2 ... ):
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
What I'm struggling to comprehend is why does this matter, if your going to get, for example purposes, 10 hours of playtime on the HD, why would you need more. Do you plan to sit and listen to music 10 hours straight? Surely not, even on holiday if you listen to music by the pool or in the evenings your talking no more than 10 hours required. Just bring a charger. No?

You stated that the nokia 5800 got 30+ hours. Who's going to listen to music for that amount of hours?
[G1 General] Pinesal:
People saying the internal memory is faster and that swapper can lessen the life of your SD card. Is it possible to create the swap file on the internal memory?

I'd be willing to try it out if someone can tell me what path to use.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
See, nice thing about wearing out your sdcard is that when its worn out, you simply pop it out and replace it with a new one. If you wear out the internal memory, then you take the whole phone and chuck it in the trash can. I personally would rather to wear out the sdcard than the internal memory.

What would be real nice is an sdcard with a chunk of RAM on it that can be mapped as a swap. Its kind of surprising that nobody makes such a device yet, I'm sure that a 16G flash + 512M RAM would be a real hot seller. It would revolutionize mobile devices.
[G1 General] jady:
Ummmm correct me if I am wrong but the swap file is to extend the memory of the phone. If you are using part of the phones memory as a swap file it is kind of redundant.
[G1 General] BolecDST:
Actually the life of normal sdcard is quite long (1000000 read/write cycles? more?) and internal flash memory even longer, so why are you scarying him that it'll destroy his phone?
[G1 General] lbcoder:
The 1 million cycle number that you suggested is really not that long, especially when you're talking about swap/memory usage.

Its not that high though... more like 10 thousand for a cheap chip, 100 thousand for a good one.

Using internal memory for swap WILL destroy it... QUICKLY. This isn't a matter of trying to scare someone, its a matter of fact -- this is simply something that you REALLY do NOT want to be doing.

@jady: You should hit wikipedia and do some reading about the differences between RAM and EEPROM, and also look up the purpose of SWAP.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] blake.hardy:
I downloaded some ringtones a while back. The majority of them were mp3d files. They worked for my phone ringtone, my new text notifications, or pretty much everything I needed them too and I could listen to them in the Windows Media Player on my Kaiser.

Just today, my phone crashed or something. Basically, it just stopped working. The screen went Red, Blue, Green, across the top half, and the bottom was white and sometimes it would say "Serial." I took it in and they gave me a new one because I was still under warrantee.

None of those ringtones work now. They won't work in Windows Media Player and when I put them in the "Ring" folder, they show up in the list, but don't play when selected in the "Sounds and Notifications" menu.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? I can't even open the ringtones up on the computer and try to convert and I can't find a mp3d converter anywhere.

Is there a codec I can download, or a converter, or anything?

Thanks ahead of time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] spvjack:
One solution maybe to download a program on your pc that can play mp3d files (maybe winamp can?) then restart your pc once you've found one that plays em. Once restarted the file type should be in your file types list. Then in Activesync navigate to Edit file conversion settings and select mp3d files to be converted to mp3 files when you sync them to your phone. Im not 100% sure if this would work as the activesync file converter is probably very basic, Good luck though!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Philio25:
There is a thread somewhere, might be on Voda eForum.

Device is unlocked, apparently Voda never lock their handsets.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] svyatko:
Very true, Voda TP2 is unlocked.

I was using my O2 sim while waiting for the number transfer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cotc2001:
thats what im doing at the moment - only thing no web or email at the mo as the phone has the vodaphone internet settings on it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] snuwho:
hi there I got mine from mobiles direct on a vodafone and is has no branding on it not even sim lock but I dont know about vodafone themselfs though. sorry
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
voda tp2 is unlocked as confirmed by ma mate stunno! phone is however voda branded to the hilt so its up to you if ya not bothered with their branding! due to demand for tp2 they had no time to simlock the device prior to release. they however simlock most of their handsets!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Philio25:
I've had several Voda handsets, none of them have ever been locked :)

TP2, Samsung's, Sony Ericsson's, Nokia's, none of them locked.

There is a post somewhere on their eForum somewhere that says they have a policy of not locking their handsets, couldn't find it but did find this:

'Except for the BlackBerry Storm, we will supply a Network Unlock Code (NUC) for you if you've bought a phone from us on either pay monthly or pay as you go. A NUC allows you to use non-Vodafone SIM cards with your Vodafone phone.'

So even if it was locked they would provide you with the code :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
mate ring them again............NUC(network unlock codes) cost £20 so you get what you paid for! not all voda phones come unlocked as i am sure they will confirm. i have had many many phones from voda and all locked...........n95 8gig being a popular one, f490, s700 to name a few! i know what i am talking about mate as i own a phone shop!

why do you think mobile shops make so much money from unlocking................... some handsets do come unlocked but only a few and will defo be on contract and not pay and go!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Philio25:
I've never asked them, just read the info from their forum :)

I like the fact they 'accidental' left out the part about it costing £20 though! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Deiota:
hi!

did anyone tried TBattery application with TP2?

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tissle:
G1 Questions

Hey, I'm somewhat new to the G1 Scene. I got my G1 couple of days ago. I already rooted, and installed CyanogenMod 3.4.6 on it w/ app2sd.

.....I went from a BlackBerry Curve to the G1, and would like some of the features of the BB on the G1. So, hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction.

1) I'm using my old HTC Juno (T-Mobile Shadow) headset with this phone. It works fine, but when I'm playing Music, the volume is somewhat low. Is there a way to make it

louder?

2) Is there a way to auto-mount the SD when you hook it up to a Computer or my Car stereo? I hate draggint the little icon and clicking on Mount everytime I hook up my phone to

my car stereo or my computer.

3) I used my Curve to listen to music in my car all the time. I do the samething with my G1. Now, usually, when I arrive at my destination. I turn of my Car and

just pull out the USB cord from the g1. Is this safe? Would this damage my G1? I did this with my Blackberry for months without any problems but the G1 is a completly different phone.

4) Is there any GOOD turn by turn direction application yet?

So far, I tried: 1 Click Direction (Fail), AndNav2(Doesn't support my State...Georgia), and I really do not want to pay $10 bucks for telenav.

Is google maps my only choice? I mean, I'm fine with google maps, but it couldn't hurt if I had something fancier :)

5) Would putting a screen protector negativily effect the touch-screen aspect of the phone?

6) I'm looking for a Good To-Do List program. I downloaded a program called Astrido, but I don't know if it comes with a widget to display some the list on the homescreen.

Here are the "Requirments":

--1) Must have a desktop version or an online version. So I can quickly write my tasks down on the computer, and then it syncs with the phone.

--2) A Widget to display on the homescreen would be nice. (Not Required..)

So, is there anything better than Astrido?

Other Question..

Now, I have a 8GB Transcend MicroSD card on it (Class 6)

The SD Card is split into two partions. Fat32 (7gigs) ext3(1gig)

Now, I keep hearing abotu this app called Swapper and how it supposdly boost performance.

Has anyone used it?

Would the advantages outweigh the negative aspects (potentional corruption of SD card)?
[G1 General] Sumanitu:
I know everyone always simply suggests wiping whenever any issues arise. That annoys me though as, when possible, I'd like to treat my G1 more like a computer then a smartphone. You wouldn't suggest reformatting Windows XP or Vista as the first troubleshooting step, would you?

Wiping aside, is there any way to clean up things within the /data partition? I have a bunch of lost+found entries for example, and rm -r 'ing them just causes the G1 to boot loop.

Got a dump of the official T-Mobile (US) MyTouch system folder. Not a whole lot of interesting stuff here, the build.prop is different, but otherwise the ROM looks nearly the same as the G1's official 1.5 firmware. The build id is CRB57.

A first attempt at booting a modified recovery thru fastboot failed with the "remote: not allowed" message.

Download here: http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/mytouchdump.zip

Thanks to markdt098 for grabbing it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mi|enko:
Hey Cy,

This is the one from the test versions. The TMo proprietary stuff that's supposed to set the MyTouch above the G1 isn't on the phones that have been released thus far. So, we'll most likely need to keep our eyes out for a dump that includes those items.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] johnowa636:
A first attempt at booting a modified recovery thru fastboot failed with the "remote: not allowed" message.

So no go on rooting? I have the phone for a couple of days and really wanted to root. If anyone figures it out Please. PM me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sangeet.003:
so did u try both these recovery images?

[Recovery] RAv1.0 : Modded ION recovery!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cyanogen:
Yes. They couldn't be booted via "fastboot boot".

I don't actually have the device, though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sangeet.003:
So u can alternately get the boot image & other images through "/dev/mtd/mtd*" using "adb pull /dev/mtd/mtd* *.img"

what problem does "fastboot boot" gives?

does it hangs @ the first screen after restart? or the "fastboot boot" itself isn't supported..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nixxofugi:
thread?

We've already got a thread going on fastboot remote not allow. Should they be merged
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sangeet.003:
this thread is for getting hands on myTouch 3G system, m telling way 2 get oher stuffs out of the phone like boot & other partitions, not only fastboot thing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] johnowa636:
I have the devise for a couple of days. You cannot ADB without rooting first. I read about pushing mod recovery through fastboot, I won't do that unless I can revert to original state. Does any one know if you can $fastboot pull system/recovery.img
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] markdt098:
What stuff exactly are you talking about? The Sherpa app is the only thing I can think of that the release myTouch will have that mine does not.

Edit: And exchange support...do you think that will require an OTA update for the myTouch's given out to employees?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sangeet.003:
try this:

1. Boot the device full till the home screen

2. use cmd & go to "adb shell"

3. then type in "cat /proc/mtd"

u ll see some thing like this:

cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "misc"
mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd2: 00280000 00020000 "boot"
mtd3: 05a00000 00020000 "system"
mtd4: 01e00000 00020000 "cache"
mtd5: 059c0000 00020000 "userdata"

4. then use, use mtd<dev number> according to <name>.img

"adb pull /dev/mtd/mtd1 recovery.img"
"adb pull /dev/mtd/mtd2 boot.img"
"adb pull /dev/mtd/mtd3 system.img"
"adb pull /dev/mtd/mtd5 userdata.img"

by doing so u ll backup recovery & then try flashing recovery...

Need donations to get our hands on Magic coz we both have an g1... thats hard to spend on too... m 16... 4 me its tooooo hard.. lol

n may be there will be ION/HERO/Ophone ports to magic too... m Currently Downloading Ophone SDK to Get system out of it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mi|enko:
Probably. Sherpa's supposedly what the MyTouch will have that other android devices won't (at least not at first). Then there's exchange and finally the customization options (for making the device your own). I'm actually curious about that last one the most. Wonder if they worked with a dev to bring theme support or what.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sangeet.003:
Not tested but i think we just need the myTouch boot img to get it running with root on other devices...

let me try it with other boot img's...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ashshlay:
I noticed on my mytouch that some market apps aren't available when searching like quickoffice and documentation to go. paid apps are available but just not those apps in particular.

When I get my device into fastboot mode my spl .006 is that what everyone else has who has been trying these methods.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] motivecc:
i wonder how they plan on "activating" these applications and options... hopefully an update will come before the device is released, because they are currently and obviously not on the mytouch devices out there right now
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sangeet.003:
What? U mean that isn't released yet?.. don't mind, I don't know that as I m from India, & so hope these bees an update...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] motivecc:
nope, no sherpa or customization options on the mytouch that i have

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sangeet.003:
Yeah m waiting for 1 too coz development on DREAM is near to be over to what can be done with that less ROM & RAM...

We too need to upgrade to Further Devices...

But problem is $$

so if u can hit the Donate links...

& lol Saw those two threads asking for Donations to get a new HERO phone, & in return only a Dump.... he he he...

they know they cant do any thing more than dumping....

N back to toppic,

1 more thing, found in the dump is that it dosen't have the "debugtool.apk" so if someone can, try installing it & then try backing up the recovery & boot image via "adb pull" from "/dev/mtd/mtd*"

Update: Trying To Run the Rom on G1... ll post if boot is really necesary... Be tuned...

Update2: First try un-successful, Gota go out ll be back to work in 4 hours....

you are correct. that and visual voicemail as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mi|enko:
True that. On the flip side though, they could make it a pay app that's free for myTouch customers (via app pack).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] setzer715:
visual voicemail is more than just an app, it requires an account upgrade also.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Anchelspain:
Hello everyone, I don't know if this is the right place for asking this, but I'm in quite a big problem.

I've had my HTC Diamond since December and I've flashed it to several different roms many times since then. Never had any problem at all.

But during the past two weeks my phone just started acting crazy. It would all of a sudden crash and even if I took out the battery and placed it in again, it wouldn't boot up. I'd have to wait until I got back home to flash the ROM again, so I could keep using the phone.

BUT the problem is that ever since then the ROM keeps hard-resetting itself every few hours. Sometimes it might last for a day or two without doing anything weird. But all of a sudden it might just crash, and when rebooting the phone would act as if it was the first time running the phone (you know, with the screen calibration, time settings and all... and then having to import all of my contacts and calendar again, not to mention any application).

This hard-reset also happens randomly when I turn the phone off and on again. Sometimes it loads up normally, sometimes it goes to factory settings again.

Now, I wouldn't be so worried if this wasn't happening WITH EVERY SINGLE ROM that I'm trying. Both Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 roms. Even those that I've used in the past without any problem. They all hard-reset themselves at some point or crash and get unable to boot until I flash another ROM again.

I've also tried fully hard-resetting the phone myself -both the phone memory and the internal memory- and even flashing different Hard-SPLs and Radios.

It still goes on the same though.

Anyone has any suggestions?

Or is my phone dead forever now?

Thanks in advance for the help!

This happens sometimes after you've installed numerous ROM's.

You'll need to use an app called 'Mtty' to sort out the problem, then flash ROM again and it should work fine.

Look on google/do some research before using to make sure you understand what it is mtty.exe is, and how to use it.

thank you for your quick answer cymru, but i resolved flashing a stock rom and then reflashing the cooked one ad suggested by kosherpig.
