Hey.

I just got my new (used 6 months) Diamond, after my Trinity has crashed. But what i observed is that the battery life is extremely low. Is there any possibility to make it last longer. I have seen somwhere on a forum that the combination of SPL, Rom, and Radio might help, but i lost somewhere this thread, cannot find it anymore....

So please can you help me to solve that issue? The Trinity could go much longer when i was using GPS. I was thinking that Diamond should be better.

Plese help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aleph01:
could you please help?

i ve seen response to threads like this:

thanx for help anyway.

Holy #@$*'ing @$*t ! Sorry your highness for making you wait all of one day to respond to a question that has been discussed ad nauseam throughout the entire internet.

Google is a good friend. Try typing in "Diamond battery life" into Google search and you'd be absolutely amazed as to what happens when you subsequently click on the search button! Let me show you: http://www.google.com/search?q=diam...-ca&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1

In a nut shell;

1. Diamond battery is very small @ 900mAh. Buy a bigger battery if you want

2. Don't leave bluetooth, wifi, and 3G on when you don't need it. All of them draw a lot of power

3. Turn off auto backlight adjustement and set it to a brightness that is comfortable for you to read.

[G1 Android Development] irrenhaus:
Hi folks,

since it annoyed me that the desktop folders stay open, even if I start an application from it, I decided to fix that on my own.

So I have taken the Launcher source from cyanogen's newest mod version (3.9) which contains the Modified Launcher from rogro82 (thanks a lot you two!) and modified it a little bit more.

The menu entry "Extended" -> "Home Screen" now contains a checkbox with which you can turn the folder closing on or off.

If it's on, just start an application from a folder and the folders closes when the app starts.

If it's off, everything shows just the normal behaviour....

Have fun with it

*.tar.gz file with the *.apk and the source code can be found here:

http://no.h0pe.eu/irrenhaus/Launcher.tar.gz

[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I already added a patch that closes the main app drawer when you start an app, so this probably makes sense too.
[G1 Android Development] rogro82:
Can you add this to the github so that we all use the same base... else we will have different sources everywhere.

Im going to rebase my source to the one from the github also.

Nice feature though...
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I was gonna say, just fork from me on Github.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I just patched this in and pushed it to Github. If you pull it, you need to add the extra DB column.. I'm going to get this switched over to use SharedPreferences because I think it makes more sense.
[G1 Android Development] Zappletoo:
Well, that's really nice !

That fact annoyed me so much that I actually stopped using folders.. But now I'll really reconsider.

Thank you !
[G1 Android Development] irrenhaus:
Thank you ^^

One note @cyanogen

The file MenuAddFolder.java is useless, it's just from another try I had and i forgot to delete it :rolleyes: so you can savely delete it from the source :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] seco10:
I like to vary the appearance of my mobile and so I changed nearly all of the icons, some text and so on. Now I'm wondering if anybody knows what icon-files are used on the screen "call history". I talk about the red-marked signs on the attached picture. This is the call-history-screen that appears by pressing the homescreen, not the extra call-history-tab. These are not the pngs in the windows-folder, like "CallLogInBtnDn_Port.png" and so on. Got anyone an idea??

Thanks in advance

PS: In the headline I mean "graphic"-files...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Lycox:
Search for all cl_*.gif in windows folder :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] seco10:
Be sure, I did it. I think you know Mossis ROM - there I could found no files like the redmarked on my attached screenshot. Searched in other ROMs and in many themes - but these ones are not to find. I thought they would be hidden in some mode9-files, but no answer at the time...

Thanks for the moment, let's looking further :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] voyd:
hi

all icon for call history are in phcanOverbmp.dll

can we get the source code for the HTC widgets and make them work for the normal android UI without rosie??
[G1 General] otto888:
No. I'm pretty sure that the source code for anything is not included in the final product.
[G1 General] Diceman4:
No the HTC framework (which they are dependant on) is closed source.
[G1 General] cyanogen:
HTC hasn't released source code for anything so far, so I highly doubt we will see source for Hero. They are perfectly within their rights to do this too, except for the stuff they've done to the Linux kernel (cough Rogers Dream cough).
[G1 General] johnnie93:
is their a way to make the source code available for the users? as in i buy the phone then do something to give you guys the source codes?
[G1 General] cyanogen:
You won't have the source code, only the compiled binaries on the device. Of course we'd appreciate a dump of those too :)
[G1 General] ivanmmj:
No. It's like asking for McDonalds for their secret sauce recipe. They won't do that because then they'd loose business.
[G1 General] anddep:
secret sauce is thousand island on the big mac :D
[G1 General] korndub:
no, thats not really how source code works. once compiled, its compiled, and no longer source.
[G1 General] johnnie93:
oh ok then im going to buy the hero if their is no way to get the wedgets running on the G1 with out slowness of rosie on the G1 thanks.
[G1 General] ivanmmj:
hehe, Almost. Rumors DO say that it's a version of Thousand Islands, though.
[G1 General] Breakthecycle2:
My Hero G1 is NOT slow.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxLZOhUA3R0
[G1 General] chuckhriczko:
Just figured I'd chime in. A review of the Hero (mobilecrunch I think) said that even the widgets on the real Hero hardware ran slow. I have a feeling it's just poor optimization on HTC's part but I could be wrong.
[G1 General] AdrianK:
What swap size and swappiness are you running in that video?

Also, fast food sucks! >:-0
[G1 General] Breakthecycle2:

I've got the HTC Hero from Orange and noticed that the ROM version is higher than the one posted in this forum (Build 1.76.61.3). If somebody could explain how to pull the ROM from the phone I'd be happy to post it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dpgc213:
can u adb into it? if so you just need to type the following in command prompt if your using windows:

adb pull /system

:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MortICi:
Sweet god you can be a hero if you can use adb and type the following command:

adb pull /proc/config.gz .

and attach the file here!

You can load the 1.3.1 recovery (i think) and nandroid backup the system!

*************THIS IS A GUESS ON HOW TO DO IT!*****************

I bet someone will help you get this dumped!

but you can probably dump the following like so:

adb pull /system ./system (make the folder in your adb directory)

adb pull /data ./data (make the folder in your adb directory)

adb pull /etc ./etc (make the folder in your adb directory)

cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/recovery.img

cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/boot.img

adb pull /sdcard/recovery.img . < there is a . after it and it needs to be there! >

adb pull /sdcard/boot.img . < there is a . after it and it needs to be there! >

This would be my guess on how to do it, but i could be wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] herman3101:
I'm downloading the SDK now, will post back if I managed to get anything from the phone.

PS: If I post all those things will any of my personal settings/data be included?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] herman3101:
I've tried all those commands, the only one that worked is the adb pull /system ./system , it didn't work for etc and data, reckoned there weren't any files to copy. the cat... ones just didn't do anything. I'm guessing this is because I'm not rooted on the phone. Any suggestions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maxisma:
System is enough :-) Now please upload it to megaupload/rapidshare :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] herman3101:

Hi there,

I have TT7 installed and working fine.

I would like to use it in my pocket with headphones when riding my motorbike however for this to work reliably, I need to disable the touch screen.

So my question is, is it possible to blank/lock/disable the screen and keep TT running so I can hear the directions via my headphones?

Regards,

Richard
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fraser:
Pocket Shield might be able to do this. You'll probably have to live with the backlight being on but it'll protect it from accidental presses. The problem is that TomTom is far too aggressive at keeping itself on top so this might not even do it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] h0wz3r:
I have exactly the same question so any solutions would be greatly appreciated!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vdKarel:
Can't you just swith of the screen using the power button?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dicko99:
Nope. That disables TT7 as does a long press on the Call hang-up button.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] -adrian-:
how about s2u2 ..

Don,t know why this problem comes.

After the restart of the phone it will work for sometime, than again the problem comes.

Not even the sms tones work.

is it only ring and sms notifications or all audio ?

I purchase this phone i month before and am facing this problem first ime on 2 days back.

[Touch HD General] tnyynt:
Make sure that both the ringer and system tabs in volume have a value other than silent or vibrate.

Make sure to have actual sounds binded to event, go to Start, Settings, Personal, Sounds & Notifications, Enable sounds for both events and programs, then go to the notifications tab and check assigned sounds.

Please report back!
[Touch HD General] Georgeous2008:
Moreover, if you can perform the official upgrade to the latest stock ROM through HTC's website. It's definately worth it ...

But after that somene calls me or Message, the Phone doesn,t ring. And the Sound notification shows that sound are enabled both System and Ring.

than I have to restart the Phone Again than it will work again for 1 or 2 hours, and problem contiues again

1.57.831.1

1.56.405.1

If you need help flashing them read the guide in my signature. I would also highly suggest at least flashing the official updates, if not a good custom ROM.

Will you please provied me some link of themes for this ROM ver

Tried so many themes there non of them Working for Me. :(
[Touch HD General] Digital Outcast:
I would suggest posing that question in that particular forum then. Another thing- depending on what you are trying to "theme" you would need to install SDKCERTS.cab. Have you ever done this?

No i didn,t try the SDKCERTS.cab

But i install some themes with .cab ext and some with .theme

So for the last 2 days before work, I would charge my phone completly to 100%. I work at 4am and it would be 99%....ok forward ahead 2-3 hours, ill check my phone and its at 20%. I've already check tsk manger both days but I only leave panda firewall running and alarming!

Is this defective battery? Or something else? Any ideas.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
Do you have an extra battery to test with or just the one? If you have two batteries, it would be easier to diagnose whether the first battery is defective based on how fast the second battery drains. It might be worth borrowing a friends or buying one on amazon. You can get the OEM battery for relatively cheap nowadays (<$20)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Also depending on how long you have had your phone for you can call T-Mobile up and complain. I did this and got a free 2nd battery. Just tell them you have already gone through troubleshooting steps by turning off gps, bluetooth, wifi, 3g, and lowered the screen brightness. Even if you are over your allowed time I'm sure if you talk right you still might get a free battery, my friend did to.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
Yeah, I did this too, but that was a while ago (November or December) when it seems that T-Mobile was handing out batteries like candy to pacify all the people that were upset with battery life. I didn't know if people were still succeeding in getting a battery for free, but that is definitely worth a try first.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
lol. Yea they was just handing them out. My friend got one just the other month so its seems they are still trying to satisfy the customer.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsnipuhx:
Alright I'm probably just gonna go into tmobile cause it would be easier probably. And I've had my phone on for 10 minutes now for break, went from 17% down to less then 5% so.... this is irritating me....DAMN TMOBILE! Even if it isn't there fault I still want to blame them!

I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not, but when I was running Cyanogens roms above 3.6.5 I would get horrible battery readings. I'd reboot and it would says something different.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoBlade:
I believe its a known bug in Cupcake builds about battery readings. Cyanogen did post up a link to Android's official bug tracker but I can't remember the link by memory.

Also try calibrating your battery too and use a program like Watts to track your battery usage over time.

Also using the Open Overclocker widget is amazing, you can set the Screen Off CPU frequency, forcing the CPU to scale down when idle. I'm not 100% sure if Cyanogen's ROM does this on default or not though but I know it does do CPU scaling.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turboyo:
Posting here since its battery related .. ever since the upgrade to crc1 my battery charges extremely slow .. like it wont go to 100 percent in 8hrs .. but when I restart it at like 80% it will show 100, but if i leave it there long enough im sure it will keep climing slowly in percentage. Anyone else having problems like this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettyboy85712:
Yes, it's a known bug.

Fully charge your battery then do the following.

su

rm /data/system/batterystats.bin

The battery reading will be more accurate.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsnipuhx:
Alot were right, nothing can be done in store. They pretty much shooed me away and said to call 611. Did. Told me to call HTC. Can't cause there closed lol. Anyways im going to try what Prettyboy said, but I'm turn the phone off I think to charge it fully. No extra battery though =/ They said I would have to provide a CC to get them to send an extra battery and then send the old one back.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotad:
thanks for this. but what does it exactly do??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoBlade:
It deletes the old battery stats file and Android creates a new one, which would be more accurately calibrated. Think of it like a battery stats reset.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsnipuhx:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitchlin71:
Hi, no there is no flash support in Opera. In the new beta 9.7 Opera there is a flash lite support. But unfortune most websites such as cnn.com etc use flash10 or worse Silverlight, so have to wait a few more years till you can watch these :S

However, there is a youtube application in stock witch works good. Also there is a mobile browser named SkyFire that plays flash. I dont like it but it shows flash, so..
