[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
Wear leveling is built into the card, ext 3 has journeling which does not corrupt easily from a power loss( pulling battery)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Ah, I remember hearing about the journaling as well...

I was under the impression the partition needed to support wear-leveling as well...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bzerk1:
dunno exactly how to help you, but i can share with you a similar experience and how i fixed it. and it might just be the answer.

I use a Mac. i used my 8gb class 6 card and formated it for mac. after i used it i reformated it back into fat32, but while partitioning, it screwed up my partitions, there was extra space tooken on the sd card. eventually my sd card was screwed, there was a point where it did not mount aswell.

how did i fix? i reformated and made sure to erase the Zero's, theres an option that says that. dunno what it means. and it erased all the backup info and everything on the card into fat32, and it was fine to mount and partition all over again.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
I think wear leveling has to do with the card itself. The way I explain file systems like ext and fat is that the sdcard/hard drive is like a bookcase and the different filesystems are the way that the shelves are organize in the bookcase

Does anybody know whether the accelerometer inside HTC Magic obtains acceleration readings from calculating the data generated by the digital compass built in the phone? Or the accelerometer and the compass actually generate the data independently?

Thank you very much in adance!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] CatalystNZ:
When using Google sky map or street view I notice that the compass bearing is out by at least 10 degrees

Can't find any way to sort it out... anyone got any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kchau:
hold it upright, dont hold it paralell to the ground.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] CatalystNZ:
Who would have thought to try that! You must be a genius!

Seriously though, it doesn't make a difference which horizontal plane I hold the phone on, the compass bearing is out either way.

If I use street view in compass mode with the phone pointing towards my house from the street... it will display the view on the phone of 10 degrees or so to the east.

With Sky Map, the stars are approximately 10 degrees out also.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kchau:
most digital compasses have a compensation for where you are in the world, because magnetic north is not the same as geometric north, you are bound to be off by a few degrees.

thats probably why its off, since the android compass app doesnt have a compensation for that.

my compass varies by 15 degrees when placed flat.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Mansn:
I just wanted to ask whether anyone else had run into the same problem or now. I have installed HTC Generic 2.73.405.5 with radio 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 on my unbranded Hero and it has been great. Really fast and it seems less buggy.

However I had one major issue. When I turned on my phone this morning all my contacts were gone! So I went into data synchronisation and made sure the box was ticked.

I ticked and unticked it, however things aren't quite syncing up properly at the moment. The contacts are back, but when I make edits on my phone they are not carrying through to google's servers ... Any advice? Anyone else having this problem?

EDIT: I have tried syncing my contacts again. After the little arrows stop spinning the last updated time still stays the same. It's stuck on 07:22 at the moment and it's 07:39 here ...

EDIT2: This problem exists on the wifi and mobile data connection.

Could it be that this is a problem on Google's end?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Mansn:
Woah! And we're back!

It seems to have fixed itself!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] barryallott:
Not for me. Still have this issue, does anyone else?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Mansn:
God damn! My Hero deleted all its contacts again. It takes ages to sync changes and if you do too many at once it just doesn't do it, crashes and deletes all your contacts.

NOT awesome!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] barryallott:
I have posted a support ticket with HTC, I'll see what they say.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
I already experienced an "issue" with a delay from google contacts.

But I deleted everything, then synched and after a while (about 15 minutes) all contacts where shining in my Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] theodore80:
I have similar issue.

I can get my contacts from Google but cannot make new ones on the server side. I will check it thoroughly later on and report you back.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] themadczech:
Google add to contact

The whole option to add to Google contacts is missing on mine. Google contacts are still present and seemingly updating.

So not exactly the same behaviour, but might be worth checking your phone.

[G1 General] markdjj:
Hello there,

I would really like some advice - my battery is draining like water. I'm quite convinced it is the regulation of the unit; I bought a 2400mAh battery replacement and it lasted ages on first go, but then my G1 started draining stupidly fast after I'd recharged it. This also happens on the stock battery too (buy even quicker!). I'm convinced it is the regulation because a) I've never had battery problems previously and b) the battery meter starts at about 26% when I plug it it in (after the phone shuts off from it being dead and I then plug in the charger).

I actually have a bricked G1 that still charges batteries, so I thought I'd do an overnight charge on the battery that way, to 'remind' the other G1 what a 100% battery is like, but that didn't seem to work either.

Can someone help? Is this a known problem? I would really appreciate any advice.

Mark
[G1 General] The Reverend Gridlock:
Things that cause ridiculous battery drain;

Backlight, keep it at no more than 30%

Wifi - turn off search for open networks,

Gps - wow does this drain
[G1 General] uansari1:
GPS doesn't really drain battery unless it's actively being used...at least not on my phone.

You can also try disabling 3G if you're not in a 3G area. It will keep trying to find a 3G signal, which really drains battery.

For the record, I have a stock battery that I get ~13-16 hours on from a single charge... my backlight is at 40%, GPS is always on, and I use wifi whenever I want to surf the web and am near an open network.

OP...if your battery is lasting you only a couple of hours, then I'd try to reflash your ROM. Might help...
[G1 General] The Reverend Gridlock:
Wow 13 to 16, I am lucky if I get 6 with 30% backlight, and wi-fi and gps off, I have always gotten that on ever rom even stock with no widgets, you are one of the very few with good battery life cause I have seen many complaints about short battery ranges
[G1 General] uansari1:
Yeah, that's on a normal, moderate usage day. If I use it heavily, with a lot of wifi and web browsing, then I'll get around 10.

Maybe your battery needs to be replaced... could just be old and not holding a charge properly.
[G1 General] The Reverend Gridlock:
It's 2 months old, has done it from day one, I also have another battery that does it too that I kept from a previously brick g1, so one 3 phones, all the same battery life but then I use it quite heavily, always browsing on the web since my computer burned out
[G1 General] rivryan:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=555048

try that? 3rd gen battery could help..
[G1 General] markdjj:
Thanks for the suggestions, but it's not a wifi/3g/brightness etc problem - I've had a G1 for six months, I know exactly how much power should be consumed. It's also not the battery; I have two stock batteries and a brand new 2400mAh battery, which for the first few charges lasted about 2 - 2.5 days and was brilliant (as it should be), but now doesn't last all that long.

I may have made the situation slightly better however - I did a Nandroid backup, wiped to factory (well, Cyanogen 4.0.4 anyway) and booted into that. I then restored the backup and when I plugged back in to the charger, the meter was at 85%, and seemed to take a normal amount of time to charge (and not jump to 100%). It remains to be seen if the problem is solved, I've yet to have the battery drain (this is a good sign though) an plug in the charger to see if it will jump from 0 to 25 or not.

I'll re-post when I know.
[G1 General] Fingerlickin:
run the battery down until the phone shuts off without plugging it in.

charge the battery while the phone is off over night

do this 3-5 times and see if you get any improvement.

also remember some of the cheap 2400 batts from ebay and such claim 2400 but that is from 3.5V to 3.0V. The G1 considers 3.2V to be dead so you only get from 3.5V to 3.2V which sucks.
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
I'm with gridlock on this one. My batteries suck. It always needs a mid day charge. And to the poster that said to reflash a rom, that is bad advice. There is known issues with getting poor performance out of these batteries. I have 2 and both do the same. Got the second one from complaining to t-mo about how bad it sucks.
[G1 General] markdjj:
Reflashing seems to have worked...the 2400mAh battery seems a lot better now, it lasted nearly two days (it runs at 3.7v, according to my battery diagnostic), I've only just recharged it last night. When I plug it in, it charges normally and linearly now, instead of jumping straight to 25%.

So my advice, if anyone is having similar problems to me, would be to try a reflash.

Thanks for your help everyone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] somethingdope:
somebody should sticky this, its useful for newcomers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dazultra2000:
Not necessarily true. EDGE can actually technically be classed as 3G (though it almost always sits in the higher end of the 2.5G tier). 2.5G would more correctly refer to GPRS rather than EDGE, with EDGE being more of an enhancement to GPRS.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] alabij:
When it comes to PDA/WinMo phones "CDMA = No SIM card is false". There are actually a couple of CDMA phones with SIM cards including the Touchpro2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nemeth:
HSPA is a catch all name for HSDPA and HSUPA, 3.5G techs.

The 3G implementation is UMTS.

If you are talking about worldwide use, EDGE is pretty much not used in the UK... O2 have it on a couple of base stations but its extremely rare, so here you just get:

1G - Analogue phones, Vodafone and O2 had analogue networks but they are now shut down.

2G - GSM with CSD (Circuit Switched Data - make a phone call for data) and HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data - basically make multiple phone calls and bond them, was only availible on Orange). O2 and Voda use both 900MHz and 1800MHz. Orange and Tmobile have no 900MHz license and use just 1800MHz. 3 Do not operate a 2G network and these days use Orange for coverage where they don't have their own network, they used to use O2...

2.5G - GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) This is the lowest speed you'll get on any network now, up to about 115kbps, on all four 2G networks, indicated by a G on the screen near the signal metre.

2.75G - EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) initially capable of 236kbps, only O2 ever did anything with it, and they did very little with it, for all intents and purposes it is unused in the UK.

3G - UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service). This is what is known as 3G in the UK. It uses WCDMA - yes, it is CDMA based, not TDMA as 2G GSM is. Capable of 384kbps, this is needed for video calls (which all UK networks support). Indicated by a 3 onscreen, all UK towns and cities are covered by this or better these days by all networks (advantage of a small country with dense population). All 5 big operators have 3G licenses. At the moment 3G means 2100MHz, Ofcom want to have some of Voda and O2's 900MHz allocation back and allow 3G on it. High frequencies mean short range, making the current band good for getting alot of transmitters (and hence capacity) in cities, but crap for covering rural areas with 3G, you need too many transmitters for cost effectiveness. If Ofcom reallocate some of the 900MHz band and allow 3G on it, it could massively improve 3G reception in rural areas.

3.5G - HSPA (HSDPA and HSUPA). Up to 14.4mbps down (Voda in trial at this speed) other networks 7.2mbps and 3.6mbps. Indicated by a H on screen. Will see this in most major towns and cities.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dementio:
Say you have an European TP2, which, as we know, does not support AT&T's 3G. Will it support US HSDPA?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] skyler17:
Nope, its all or nothing. Even though it supports the downlink band, since it is missing the uplink band it will not support US 3G.

It will give you EDGE however.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ikkimiki:
I have your same problem and found out a workaround, however you will be only able to view korean text but not write.

You must copy "malgun.ttf" font from Vista to the "windows" folder on the phone.

Then you must add the following reg string:

[HKLM/Software/Microsoft/FontLink/SystemLink]

Tahoma = \windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic

I have found a software called DIOPEN which gives you full korean support, but has bugs and is not stable. It will mess up your SIP!

Hey folks,

First time poster, long time lurker and semi-experienced Android dev.

I've searched long and hard.... and I can't seem to find anyone talking about this topic.

What I am trying to do: Plug my Dream device into a monitor via the USB port and have my androids screen appear on the monitor. (in a supported platform resolution)

I'd like to accomplish this without the need of a supporting system and an emulator.

So, any thoughts? USB to VGA. How do I do it? Has anyone tried it? What would be the first step or where should I focus on?

The end result is I'd love to build a proof of concept desktop system built off my android device.
