Yes you can, go to settings/today and disable TF3D, then go to pictures & videos (or album, I'm not sure which one) and find the wallpaper you want, tap and hold it till you get a list, chose "use this wallpaper as background" or something like that, set the transperency to 0% and you're ready to go.

And btw, go to settings and re-enable TF3D of course :P
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] player911:
In the later versions of WM, you can actually drag and drop the start menu icons around without the need of a 3rd party app.

Most WM6.5.1 roms will support this but WM6.5 does not.

Is there a way to do this free?The device is T-mobile Wing!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] tinman4124:
if u r with t-mobile plan then call them and ask for a free code
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] theevilsite:
I am not using their plan.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] tinman4124:
if you brought it from some1 with t-mobile plan contact them and ask if they can do it for you or get one of your friends to do it if they have t-mobile plan.

other wise if you brought it directly from their company(t-mobile) you can call them and ask them about it. if they ask you did you brought it full price just tell them yes

I am using the HTC music player in TF3D 2.5. It seems like the shuffle feature is not very good. I will have a play list with a few hundred songs in it. When I tell the player to shuffle, I tend to get multiple songs from the same artist/album played together. When it does shuffle in other songs, they tend to be from a similar position in the playlist. It seems like they couldn't effectively randomize throughout the entire list.

Has anyone else notice this? I know people have other 3rd party players they prefer. If I go that route, can the music tab in TF3D be updated to use those players instead?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] otokirvalidze:
i noticed that too...

thats why i'm not using it anymore.

i got "pocket music" cost me $30.00 but it was worthed

works perfect on tp2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Highland3r:
Computer random is random and you can get patterns where you'll see two songs next to each other on an album or playlist played right after each other.

Doesn't mean its "not random enough" it just means your perception of random may not be random enough :P

So i guess what you're asking for is something which doesn't play songs randomly, it applies some logic to the tracks to ensure you don't get two by the same artist next to each other or songs aren't all from the same album.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] hempel:
I would say that having 4-5 songs out of 6 from the same album is not random when there are several hundred songs to pick from.

To the perosn who switched to a different player, are you set the music tab in TF3D to use the new playerr? How does one go about doing that?

Thanks

I've been playing with music player from touchflo and s2p and the suffle option is different. The s2p works great but the music player from htc doesnt. I have all different artists and about 200 songs. I play music for about 30 minutes, i stop for a while and play music for another 30 minutes. The same songs play again in a different order, but the same songs!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ArtieQ:
I've been experience that my battery life has improved ALOT when I charge it while it's on, also when I watch a movie or two and then charge it at the same time, when it reaches 100% I easly get more days out of it.

What's your experience?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] player911:
This makes sense because the Wall charger has plenty of power to quickly charge the unit, while a USB connection is standard at 5 volts.

So the slower the charge, the longer it takes, the better it hold the charge longer.

In your situtation, you are watching movies while charging... which eats most of the power as it comes in, and supplies the battery with a slower charge; thus increasing the battery life until it drains again.

I do this with my Motorola cheap-o phone. If I power it via USB it'll last like 7 days... but if I charge it via a Wall Charger it'll be dead in 2.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bmazloum:
Never really gave that any thought. You think the slower cycles going in, then the harder it is to go out? I'll keep mine playing movies while I'm sleeping then to get a better charge if that's true!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] onomico:
I thought that was very bad for the Batery, actually my laptop's batery is already dead (it drains full batery in less than 3 minutes) and I was using your method during all its live, around 1.5 years.

I noticed that if you use the Diamond during charge it warms up very much, compared to when not using it.

I must say that I noticed that some of the cicles where longer than others with similar or less use, I will test in the nexts days and post back.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pa49:
ALL

Devices like phones charge at a nominal 5v. It's the current that is different.

Wen you charge while the the phone is some way in use it works the battery to max efficiency and this results in a more efficient charge pattern.

Charge your phone whenever you can, never turn it off when charging and top up as often as possible. That will maximise battery life and max the potential capacity.

Don't discharge too low either.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Steadyeddie:
Hi all

I recently upgraded to WM6.5 (stock rom, TD2 on Orange UK) and have found that my battery life has reduced dramatically from 2-3 days use to less than 1 day.

I'm not using bluetooth or wi-fi and have tried to remove anything else that may be draining the battery.

The one big difference I have noticed between 6.1 and 6.5 is that I am getting a much stronger signal, 4 bars H compared to 1-2 bars H or 3G before. Could this be a cause of the battery drain?

Also, my memory usage is around the 70-80% mark whereas before it used to be between 40-60%. I have checked task manager and nothing seems to be running in the background.

I would appreciate any advice as this is really spoiling my experience with this fantastic device.

Thanks

Jeff
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
The wm6.5 you upgraded to is an official rom through Orange? If so, it's probably crammed with unneccessary apps (bloatware) which might explain the memory usage. The Radio ROM was probably upgraded at the same time,which explains why you appear to get a stronger signal (the newest radio roms show more bars, though the actual signal stays the same).

Maybe you would be better with one of the "lean" cooked 6.5 roms? (you need to hardspl first with olinex 1.83)

The higher signal reading wouldn't cause the battery drain, it's more likely something is "waking" the phone from suspend periodically.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bmazloum:
Battery life lasts 2-3 days? And 40-60% memory usage on 6.1?!

Wow, I wish my D2 was like that. Mine almost lasts one entire day, and memory usage is always near 70%. I haven't done 6.5 as arabic isn't out for it yet and I need it to read the damn messages companies send.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Scoooby555:
Hi. I think I might have the same problem with battery after upgrading to official 6.5 WWE. With official 6.1 my battery lasted 2-3 days. Now around 1 day. Also my memory usage went from 50-60% to 70-80%. Then I instaled HTCPedia Topaz settings tool and with some tweaks memory usage droped again to 40-50%. But battery problem still remains. Hmmm I also installed FInixNOverBatteryIcon and then gtrab Batt enhancer. Maybe any of this two apps cause problems with the battery?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] hg23:
I have the ATT Pure and recently DISABLED the auto rotation for TouchFlo 3d. It is disabled by default but I decided that was one of the first things I wanted to change after getting the phone.

So far today, my phone's battery has lasted much longer. We'll see what happens by the end of the day but so far so good.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ArtieQ:
That's really strange, mine is never over 50% except when I have WMP running or watching movies via CorePlayer or inbuilt videoplayer.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Steadyeddie:
I used the upgrade from the HTC site, so no Orange bloatware.

Memory currently running at 85% even though nothing seems to be running, battery not even making it through the day with just light use, i.e. a bit of surfing, couple of calls and a few texts.

I'm going to try it with the Sense off tomorrow.

Can't beleive the difference between 6.1 and 6.5, its like 2 different phones, and it seems quite a few people are having similar issues.

Is it easy to go back to 6.1?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] munrobasher:
Afraid I'm getting the opposite - much better battery life.

As an aside, previously I was using Garmin XP satnav and haven't got around to re-installing it yet so thought I'd give CoPilot a whirl. Downloaded the maps and tried it on a 30 min journey tonight. Worked pretty well but the battery drain was much less. 100% down to 90% after 30 mins. Before with Garmin XP, it would pretty much drain the battery in an hour.

Not sure this is an core improvement to GPS battery life in 6.5 or because CoPilot has a lower battery drain.

Cheers, Rob.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] goonerjae:
im having the exact same problem and im also interested in going back to 6.1 (the good old days when i didnt have to mess around with my phone for hours per day just to get it to function as expected eh!) 6.5 is so frustrating and can i ask what the point is of the honeycomb?

had my d2 since CW stocked it in april, and was fine until 6.5.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Scoooby555:
Hmmm...An hour ago my topaz was full charged. I made two calls while phone was pluged in. Before I unpluged it I checked battery information. Everything was ok. Time of last full charge half an hour before, standby time, call duration and device usage. Then I unpluged the phone and the time of last full charge changed to the second I unpluged the phone and all other values went to 0. Ok. That seemed ok because of talking some minutes before. I was happy and I tought now it would be OK. But 5 min ago I checked the status again...and guess what...last full charge is "Not applicable" and all other values are set to 0. :( sad sad sad
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Seraph321:
I'm getting major battery drain after I upgrade to the official wwe 6.5 rom as well. It's unpredictable though. Several times in the past couple weeks i've barely made it halfway through the day, then other times it's fine. I can't see any difference in what's running. This never used to happen with 6.1.

Profiling Tools

Hi,

I upgraded to Dutty's 6.5 ROM - it seemed like the charge lasted for a full day but for the last couple of days battery performance has been pathetic. I checked the task manager - nothing seems to be out of place - memory usage is around 50%. I have two emails accounts set to pull items as they arrive and weather/facebook data is also pulled at regular intervals. Despite these the charge used to last for more than a day...

I am wondering if there are any tools which can show me the CPU/Memory usage by various tasks over a period of time... The phone is always warm for the last couple of days and the home screen animations are stuttering...

Any Suggestions????

TIA

Location Service

Hello I posted this in another thread:

... SPB mobile shell: Settings -> System -> Location Settings and there is Location service

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] kkashwin:
Wallpaper and Battery Drain

Found the reason why Battery Drain increased in my TD2 Running Dutty's Wm6.5 ROM suddenly. Hard to believe but its because I have the weather animation wallpaper turned on and I changed the background to a bright colorful one (something that came with the ROM - i believe its a stock wallpaper!!)

I am not sure how (probably because of more processing required to overlay the translucent clouds over the bright red wallpaper) but this increased battery drain tremendously. Battery did not last for 3/4th of a day.

I have now switched back to the dull black wallpaper and the drain is back to the original rate (last for 1.5 days with all the other features turned ON (no 3G))...

Others, please check this out - maybe this is a common problem

--Ashwin
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] chipfork:
I upgraded to the official HTC 6.5 ROM and have the same issues with the battery barely lasting a day. If only that was the least of the problems.

Configuration is similar to my 6.1 build, except on this I've disabled the HTC Sense front end as I thought this might be responsible for the slow performance and battery sapping, unfortunately no different :-(

Good day to you all,

I would like to know if there's any way at all that a T-Mobile G1 can access the Rogers 3G network. Radio update, etc?

I have posted this question in the Dream and Dream Q&A section with no responses. I'm sure this isn't specifically a development question, but you guys might know the answer.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] random_username_:
no it is a hardware not a software limitation sorry
[G1 Android Development] cursordroid:
Not what I wanted to hear, but it makes sense.

So on the Rogers network, I'll be stuck with the EDGE data?
[G1 Android Development] random_username_:
yep sorry you could always but a tmobile sim for 3g use if you need it badly
[G1 Android Development] cursordroid:
The radio in the phone dictates the frequency, not the SIM right?
[G1 Android Development] random_username_:
yes but the normal g1 can not utilise these frequencies unless it falls between a specific range which the rogers 3g network does not. However the t-mobile ones do
[G1 Android Development] oxygen2:
correct - its a frequency thing, which is dictated by the radio hardware, not the sim or a software setting.
[G1 Android Development] cursordroid:
So the T-Mobile G1 is able to use the Rogers 3G network, but only if it has a T-Mobile SIM?

Am I understanding this correctly?
[G1 Android Development] random_username_:
nope it is only able to use a t-mobile 3g network with a tmobile sim. I meant you should buy a t-mobile sim for use with the t-mobile network if you really needed it.
[G1 Android Development] cursordroid:
Damn... My imagination got my hopes up...

i got a tmobile g1 , and im on gogers network , i get up to 2g , as far as i knew rogers doesn't supply full 3g yet
[G1 Android Development] cursordroid:
Rogers definitely supports full 3G, it's 3.5G (HSDPA) as a matter of fact.

The G1 runs on a different frequency and can't access the Rogers 3G, only EDGE data network.

The point of this thread was to see if the G1 radio was capable of using the Rogers frequencies... Guess not...
[G1 Android Development] Dharkaron:
Doesnt rogers carry the dream? Why get a Tmobile G1 when the Rogers Dream is the same phone except it uses the correct frequencies for 3G?
[G1 Android Development] cursordroid:
I bought a 'bricked' G1 on eBay for $40. I fixed it in a matter of minutes. I figured it was a hell of a deal, but I didn't think about the fact that I would be missing 3G here in Canada.

I already own the HTC Magic 32A (Rogers), this G1 is just to play around with.
[G1 Android Development] reuthermonkey:
No idea why anyone brought up SIM cards or whatever. That's utterly irrelevant, and only served to confuse people. Thanks.

The radio in the TMO G1 only supports UMTS Band I (2100) and Band IV (AWS). The Rogers G1 supports Band II (1900).

My recommendation is to resell that fixed G1, and find yourself a Rogers Dream.
[G1 Android Development] happyface_0:
You can convert your HTC Dream to 3G in Canada by replacing the antenna. Here's a link to a (probably) T-Mobile antenna as an example. But if you can find one for Canadian frequencies... Good luck!

Are you quite sure that this works? I'm curious about doing this. Not because I have to, but just to say that I did. :)
[G1 Android Development] cursordroid:
I think I'm going to have to do this if I want 3G.

I did some reading online this afternoon and found out that even though the Qualcomm chip on the G1 supports the Rogers 3G frequencies, the amplifiers don't. They only support 1700/2100 for the T-Mobile network. The Rogers Dream supports the 850/1900 3G network, and has the amplifiers for it. In order to switch this G1 over to Rogers 3G I would have to replace the entire Radio, amplifiers and the antenna. Even then I'm not sure it would work.

Anyone want to buy a G1 in mint condition?
