Wow! Some of you get MUCH better battery life than I do. Standby drains it very little, but ANY use and it drops like a rock. For example, I started today at 68%. Checked news feeds, read a couple of emails, used the GPS for about 5 minutes, no calls. I'm currently at 6%. I thought I'd kill it and do a full recharge, but I've done that once already it it didn't seem to make a difference. I'm currently using radio ROM 4.49.25.91, but have also used 4.49.25.17 and 4.49.25.88 with no discernable difference in battery life.

Regarding battery conditioning, I've read other forums where they say that since the TP2 uses a Lithium Ion battery, not only do you not have to fully charge/fully discharge the battery to improve it's condition, it is actually counter-productive to do so. LI batteries don't have the memory effect and the full charge/discharge actually shortens its like (I'm reporting other's words here, not stating what I believe to be a fact - I don't know!!). However, I'm unhappy enough about the battery life that I'm willing to try anything to get some improvement.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
li-ion batteries do not have memory. Here is some good info:

http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm

Depending on actual usage I can get about 2 days on my phone, although by the second night it is usually at 20% or less and can possibly die on me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vudu:
I think some of us just have bad phones...i say phones and not the battery because I've tried different batteries also, albeit generic ones off ebay. But my primary battery is the HTC one and I've used it for about a month straight after trying every method to increase battery life. Nothing works. I mainly use data (opera mini) and my battery is dead by the evening. I've even tested it by turning to airplane mode at night...after about 7 hours on standby with it doing nothing, the battery has lost 20%. So any actual usage with the screen on means it drains even faster. Definitely something wrong with the phone itself and since I got it off of ebay (brand new), I dont think I can walk into an AT&T and ask for a warranty exchange. Luckily I'm by a charger most of the day and have resigned myself to keeping it plugged in whenever possible and carrying around and extra battery when I need to.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Demonic240:
I'm having similar issues with my Tilt2 as well. I fully charge my phone every night so that when I wake up it's at 100%. By the time I get into work it may be 90-95% charged. If I leave my phone alone by the time I get off it's at 80%. If I do anything on my phone then it'll be 50% by the end of the work day. A 30 minute call after that can kill my battery at that point. I went into the battery software on my phone and wanted to check the statistics. It's not showing that it's ever been fully charged. I've done a hard reset on the phone multiple times now. I have e-mail updating every 5 minutes. I use Opera mobile 10 beta maybe once or twice a day. Heavy texting. Maybe an app or two.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gregb882:
Many thanks for the link, it was very helpful!

I am familiar with li-ion's lack of memory effect, but I thought the exercise I described above was worth the effort.

I'd love to get your batter life. Yesterday I kept to Edge speeds only (no 3G at all), about 10 total minutes of internet usage, a couple of texts, about 10 emails (email poling set to 15 minutes on 1 account, 30 minutes on 3 others), five minutes of GPS usage and four phone calls lasting no more than 3 minutes on average. When I got home yesterday at 6:00PM, I was at 47% - one of the best rates I've had. But after being connected to WiFi for about 45 minutes last evening (not using it that whole time, just connected), I was down to around 30%. Today I turned 3G back on and as of the time of this post (about 3:00PM) I’m at 59% with lower usage than yesterday.

Maybe what I’m seeing is normal, but it’s pretty inconvenient to have to turn stuff off and on all the time to conserve batter life – kind of takes away from the mobile “work on the run” experience.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tinpanalley:
So suggestions then for how to charge this battery? Or can we basically do whatever we want?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] blowy666:
....it also depends on your signal strength, how bright you set your display, and many more things...!

One thing about charging: I charge my phone when the battery is almost empty and the phone turns off automatically...then I turn it on to empty the battery totally.

When the phone doesnt start any more, I put on the charger.

When the battery is fully charged and the green light is on, I unplugg the charger and plug it again.

The battery starts o charge again, sometimes for more than half an hour!

Since I do so, my battery is much better....you can try this, and post if it works for you...

Hi guys,

I have noticed lately that creating a package for email with OEMizer no longer works in my cooked roms. (Visual Kitchen, yes I converted the OEMs)

Can someone make a tool that will make provxml instead or post a guide so I can make one that works?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] claus1953:
I know there is such a tool integrated in Makisu, which is part of SASHIMI. I created my provxml there to set up my email account after flashing.

[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! i've needed this for sooooo long this is the best ever. thanks man you get mad props.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
i should really learn sh/bash... :)
[G1 Android Development] Cheesebaron:
I'm not sure what will happen if there is a folder inside the folder you are trying to push.

And i think it will crash if you are trying to push something with an absolute path.

Will look into this!
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
wouldn't that be up to adb?
[G1 Android Development] Cheesebaron:
yes, but for instance if you are trying to push the folder /home/user/test then the script will try to make the exact same folder name on the SDcard. But i have a sollution for that :)

For the folder in a folder thing I will probably have to make a recursive function.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
If you fix it or improve it that would be nice. I am using it now and like it.....thanks
[G1 Android Development] Cheesebaron:
I've been testing it some now and it seems to behave correctly.

made a file structure that looks like this:

test

test1 (file)

test2 (file)

a (folder)

hest(file)

test2_dir (folder)

prut

And it creates the folder test on the SDcard with the correct sub folders. So I guess it is ok. Could you guys please test this for me and give me feedback?
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Works great from the terminal for me but not from Nautilus. I get the dialog that the correct file was pushed, but the file is not on the sdcard. Very weird.
[G1 Android Development] Cheesebaron:
Was it a single file or a folder?
[G1 Android Development] Cheesebaron:
Silly me, I wasn't aware of adb being able to push entire folders...

Should work now!
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Just a single file. Adb is in the path, and it worked fine from the terminal.

I also had to change the crunch-bang to bash, doesn't work with sh.

Edit: I put the entire path to adb in the script and it is working. I can type adb from any directory and it works. I don't know why it doesn't in this script.

okay im going to be picking one up one in a week or two when i upgrade. the sprint guy showed me the phone in action and i love it. he did say he recommends using a stylus but the phone doesn't come with one and i see no slot to put it in. what do you guys think? does it need one?

id also like to know about battery life, overall speaker volume and overall speediness of the phone...thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erasmogjr:
I don't think most stylus will work I read somewhere that capacitive touchscreens only work with special stylus. Anyhow, don't worry about that because that's like using a stylus for the iPhone your not going to get anything out of it and people might look at you funny. The Sprint hero is very fast, one of the best phones I have owned and I have had my fair share of devices. Speaker volume is good especially for a smartphone I thought it was interesting when messing with one of the basic phones at Sprint the speakerphone was actually loud enough to be heard, something I have missed with smartphones. Overall if your with Sprint skip the palm pre hype and get a real phone, the hero. ;)

You misunderstand... this isn't a developer release, it's a release for developers of Android of Vogue. It's probably flashable to Tattoo, but not in the context of that Google code page. BE = British English? ZIP won't immediately be flashable but can probably be modified to be flashable.

Hello all - this looks like a great forum, so I've finally registered...

Has anyone had success flashing the original firmware on to an Orange branded phone? Looking at people's experience with Orange Heroes, it looks pretty intense.

I was hoping to be able to get the firmware off the phone and in some way edit it to allow standard firmwares to be flashed over it, then flash as normal. But it's worth remembering I don't know what I'm doing...
[Click Android Development] mbuhnici:
You should be able to install another ROM without a problem. I did the same 4 days ago on an Orange branded Tattoo.

Did you have to go through the process of creating a Gold Card??

I have one of these coming this week & was hoping to remove all the Orange rubbish & get back to stock, but I'm a bit put off by the process involved.

On my last phone, Touch Pro, I just entered the product code for a WWE on the HTC site & it flashed it for me. That was a Voda one though, it seems Orange have done a bit more to try & protect it?

[General Questions and Answers] flyinonice4:
I know that the Leo has a better processor. Unfortunately I am on verizon and I am in need of a new phone. The touch pro2 seems like an amazing phone but I am worried about how future proof it will be. From what I read up on, the touch pro2 is supposed to be short lived. So I must ask, does anyone think there will be a time in the next year when the touch pro2 wont be able to handle something from the leo or any other snapdragon/tegra device? I know it wont handle it as well, but what are the possibilities of it not handling the program at all? Of course, this is purely speculation, but I just want to see what your opinions are.

Get an HTC TOUCH HD2 mate !!

Here is a comparison of HTC TOUCH HD2 vs HTC TOUCH HD.

http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=8348
[General Questions and Answers] sonus:
He's on a US CDMA carrier. Chances are if the HD2 does make it to the US, it'll be 2-3 months before an unlocked US GSM version with American bands, and another 1-2 months before any carriers (CDMA or GSM) pick it up. So... if a phone needs to be purchased any time soon, the HD2 is out of the question.

As for your question, do I think the TP2 will be short lived? Maybe, I think the HD2 is what HTC hopes to be the last hurrah before WM7. If you look at the roadmap that was leaked a while ago for this year, the only device that has not been released yet is the Athena replacement. I don't know if the original Athena was released on VZ, but the Athena replacement is the last phone to be on HTC's leak from earlier this year.
[General Questions and Answers] sancmat:
Touch pro 2 does not meet the minimum requirements of Windows Phone 7 but that does not mean that it won't be a phone that lasts. People are still using Hermes phones today. The Qualcomm 7200 processesors in the HD, Diamond 2 and Touch pro 2 will still likly be comparable to other Windows Phone 6.5 devices.

If you dream about having a Windows Phone 7 device when it comes out then hold out the TP2 may not be able to support it. If 6.5 is good enough for you then it's a great phone.
[General Questions and Answers] flyinonice4:
Thanks for the replies guys. My phone just bit the dust so I am really looking into what I can use for awhile. I looked up the leaked windows mobile 7 requirments and am sad to see that the tp2 wont meet that. But, then again, nothing out now or coming out soon will meet that. Hopefully some of these smart rom makers will be able to get us wm7 when we dont meet those requirements.

So basically its either grab the tp2 or wait for the motorola droid. I am not sure how impressed I am with android though. From what we have seen from the droid, it looks good. But I have not been impressed by the past android devices. What do you all think, both on the chance winmo 7 will run on current devices and the choice between the tp2 and droid?
[General Questions and Answers] Chainfire:
Hmm well I think your choices are fairly limited if you want a new phone now. The TP2 is the same old slow **** we are used to from HTC for years. It will simply not compare to a phone with a modern chipset. Now, I don't have an HD2 yet (though it has been ordered) but I have played with TG01 which - though sometimes also laggy - completely blows the TP2 out of the water.

Not just the TG01 either. The Samsung Omnia II, Omnia Pro, and Armani 2 also completely blow the TP2 away. In fact, I have two TP2's and they have been gathering dust with virtually no use, in favor of the Samsung's, because the TP2 is just so godawfully slow.

The TP2 is in no way future-proof, it will not be able to keep up with your granny, and you will enjoy it a lot less than you might hope. It's a shameful display, scrap metal.

Then again, as I recall the better devices are not available in the US, so you're pretty much stuck with it... but believe me you're not getting your monies worth from it.

As for WM7, the rumor is the kernel testing device is an i780, which cannot keep up with even the TP2. So it's probably technically possible with some hacking to run WM7 on the thing. As for future apps not being able to run, it's quite possible for a handful of apps, though I would not call it likely until we hit WM7.
[General Questions and Answers] flyinonice4:
Yea I am definitely stuck in the US. Plus I want a hardware keyboard. So that takes out a lot of them. From a strictly verizon bound device, what would you recommend chainfire?

Also, thanks for the info on the i780. Thats something that brightened up my outlook on winmo7.

Side note: I played around with the tp2 and liked it and thought it was pretty fast. But this is coming from a guy who hasn't been able to touch a device with modern chipsets.
[General Questions and Answers] Chainfire:
I think with your requirements the TP2 is pretty much the only "choice" you have, though I am not intimate with what Verizon has on offer.

The question (for you - and only you can answer this) is, do you want to spend the ****load of money the TP2 will cost you on a device like the TP2 ? Perhaps you would be better off bridging the period until HD2+kb release with a dumbphone, or whatever. That's a personal thing, I don't know how the contract structure works with Verizon, how much it'll cost you, what you have to spend, how long you will be stuck with it, etc. And then, it is matter of how heavily those different parts of the equation weigh for you.

You just need to be aware of what you are buying - if you are, and are happy with it, great.

[General Questions and Answers] flyinonice4:
Hmmmm. I am going to have to look this over more. I hope an hd2+kb comes out soon, but I think that would be 6months or so (especially in the US) before we ever see that coming about. Ideally, I would want to go with a phone that you mentioned thats better than the tp2. Perhaps in a year we may see some of those hit verizon or others with 7 already installed on them. Speculation is killing me as I want to wait it out, but don't know how long I can last. I use my phone pretty heavily for business purposes. Given htc's track record, when would you predict an hd2+kb would be out?

EDIT: I posted the above before I saw denco's bit. Any word as to when it should be in stores? In the past I haven't been all that impressed with android, but maybe 2.0 will turn a new leaf for me.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Vener:
Hi, I admit that I have been taking stuff from the community such as the excellent modaco rom and the gold card method and other stuff without giving stuff back to the community. After 2 days of work, here is my contribution back.

As some of you may know, Modaco's rom and other methods have flawed HTC_CIMEs either not complete or glitchy. So here is a fix.

NOTE: DOESN'T WORK WITH THE CHINESE/EXTENDED ROM

Confirmed to work with modaco 2.6 and 2.7, should work with other roms as well.

1. Download and extract this package http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?gfwh1mhvtyk

2. Boot into recovery mode (home + power)

DO A NANDROID BACKUP just in case

3. Wipe (I don't think it works without it)

4. Install the CORE version of Modaco's rom (NOT the Chinese version)

5. Reboot Phone, then reboot into recovery mode

6. Install the update.zip that is in the package

7. Reboot Phone (Checkpoint : Check if there is chinese input installed and all chinese input options are available.)

Note: Steps 8 to 11 is to fix the input in the messaging app.

8. Navigate via Command Prompt to the extracted folder with the adb.exe

9. Type "adb remount"

10. Type "adb push system /system"

11. Type "adb shell reboot"

12. Enjoy

BTW : you will need to change your default input method

I know that everything can be put into an update.zip, if someone wish to, please do.
