nice to see an educated person when it comes to batteries finally... it seems that no one believes me when i tell them that it is unnecessary.....
[HD2 General] airwater9:
Too many opinions going on here and not enough tangible facts.

After my tests (attached) I can confirm that BT is to my surprise, a battery drainer - equivalent of the consumption of the screen alone at 40% brightness! Also, I can confirm that a connected, but inactive data connection is not consuming power however a connected, but inactive wifi connection does sip some juice.

Please have a look at my excel file attached to help you decide which options are best for you. On my test phone I was running some of the usual powersaving features in BsB tweaks etc but not WMlonglife.

Guys, if your using VZNavigator and your like me, you have spent some time looking for a reliable replacement for the 9.99/mo charge of VZNavigator.

Well after looking a bunch I found a viable solution that is only a 1.66/mo.

Urban Horizon. This is a full featured GPS app as well as 3D virtualization program revealing buildings and topology. I dropped VZNavigator today.

Also if your looking to avoid speedtraps and cop stops and red light pictures please give the free app trapster a full review. So far it has been very reliable and popular in my area. (New Jersey / New York) Its real time data tracking and maps / traffic in one app, very useful.

Does the GPS app work good? i have heard that some Navigation programs are not that great. Is it a real Nav or does it use the browser? How do you think it performs?????? I thought you had to get one that was actually in a memory card to be a real GPS? I could be wrong and thats why I'm asking you about performance.....because I'm looking for a good one at this time...

thanks

I use Google Maps layered with Nav4All...Google has great map and turn by turn directions while driving, but not voice. Thats where Nav4All comes in. Just punch the directions in Nav4all, then open Google Maps repeat the directions and be on your way to your destination with visual and audio navigation!

I do not take credit for coming up with this, but thanks to wherever I saw it!

GPS App

I am using CoPilot Live 8 and it is working very well. It has turn-by-turn, voice guidance, POIs, etc., etc., etc. Best of all there is NO monthly fee. I bought it on sale for $19.99 during the Black Friday sale, and it is on sale for $24.99 right now. No . . . I don't work for them - it just works really well for me! Give it a look.

Take a look at http://www.alk.com/copilot/
[Imagio Themes and Apps] biotron2000:
Does Copilot work in the US? Couldn't find the info on their website.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] BRosenow:
It does work in the US.

The version I bought has maps (to download) for all of North America. I downloaded them to my PC with the destop software (I think they call it Copilot Central 2.0) you can also download, and then copied that to my Imagio. Just remember to connect to your Imagio as a Disk Drive rather than ActiveSync when you copy the maps. This writes them directly to your storage card. I forgot to do this the first time and it attempted, unsuccessfully as you can imagine, to write the gigabyte+ file to the storage memory. :-(
[Imagio Themes and Apps] biotron2000:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot. I like VZNavigator, but I like $10 a month more ;-)

Yea, and for me - a one-time fee of $24.99 is all the better!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sere83:
Hi there,

I am looking to purchase a sim free hero and I am hoping to use it on A sim only 02 tariff (in the UK). Chances are that it will be an Orange or T-mobile model as these are most coomon.

Just wondered does anyone know if I will face any problems running it on an O2 sim only tariff?

Is the new rom update avilable for both orange and t-mobile now? Is it easily upgradeable without rooting etc.

Would it be better to update the rom first then unlock it? Also will unlocking be a problem? And will inputing 02 web settings be an issue?

Any help much appreciated
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gugi_sat:
HI There

I brought T-Mobile G2/Hero from ebay

and i m using o2 Uk sim only tariff,

unlocked from unlock-now.com, code came in 15 min after payments pretty straight forward

using internet and email using o2 setting no problems at all

also updated to newest version from T-mobile 2.73.110.26

the only thing is i can not root now as i wanted to go for HTC's original ROM instead of T-Mobile but that's my choice you don't have to do that if u don't want it

need any other info more than happy to help

thanx

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] VeNuMuS:
does anyone know of a cooked rom with the internal memory fix. i have a touch diamond 3g. Thanks:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dieselboy:
Care to elaborate?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] VeNuMuS:
well the phone itself works fine but i tried to put music on it via WMDC and it deleted or corrupted the internal memory which the phone cannot find it says internal storage not installed. any roms with a fix for this problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dieselboy:
Have you tried connecting the phone to a windows PC to see if you can see the internal storage that way?

You don't give us much to go on, to try and help you. The more info about your phone and what you did / have done would be good.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] VeNuMuS:
Ok this is everything.i have a HTC Touch Diamond 3G. I added music via WMDC and it did. i then went onto my phone and saw that none of the files were there. i then went to Settings-Memory and saw that it said that no storage card was installed. i tried about 40 times to try and get it to connect via Disk Drive and it never showed up. so then i did a soft reset and hard reset and still nothing. i then went online and saw that this guy had cooked the Internal memory hotfix priovided by HTC into a rom but when i tried to download the hotfix it it said that it is not compatible with my device. i then came here and noticed that you can cook hotfixes to the roms and im looking for one. thats about it. Any ideas on how i can get the memory back?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dieselboy:
It could just be me, but I dont fully understand Sorry!

Did you know that when you connect your phone to your PC, that you have the option to have "faster file transfer" ? When you select this option, it disables the phone from accessing the internal storage. Try disconnecting your phone from your pc then try again!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] VeNuMuS:
i know it wont display it on the device but it should display it on the PC and it doesn't.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NZtechfreak:
Hi,

Had the device less than a day and loving it.

I'm finding Pocket Scrobbler can't detect track information from the HTC Music Player. I've messaged the softwares developer, but in the meantime I was wondering whether anyone had managed to get it working, or if people have a good alternative?

Regarding Fring, I tried the installation via SMS, it gave me a generic WinMo installation. It appears to install fine, but then when you select the Fring icon to open the program nothing happens. Installed a couple of times, restarted phone, but no joy with either of those simple fixes. Again, suggestions or alternatives?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] skr_xd:
As far as I know, current fring versions doesn't work with wm6.5.

I have been using nimbuzz and it seems to work fine..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] taiseer999:
I am a Fring fan as well and I have written in Fring forums about the nature of the problem during my HD time (running Leo ROMs) the problem occurs only when the HTC Message is running.

So a temp fix is disabling HTC Sense from Today and enjoy Fring..

I hope the guys at Fring find a work around solution for this.

And which system are you on? I've heard that Vista and 7 aren't that good for flashing...

If nothing helps you, search for topics about "Wizard Love ROM". Maybe that can help you.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xaueious:
You guys need to use the search function and read.

This issue has been posted multiple times before. Flashing the 32A only ROM on a 32B makes you unable to get out or RUU update mode. You wont be able to put anything on the phone, as the image extraction process will error out. You are now the owner of a brick.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gymmy:
perhaps you should have a look and see that i have kinda fixed the problem, and this wouldnt have happened if someone on here hadnt said that the rom was for 32b when in fact it was for 32a.

Please see my other posts for the fix for this..

I still can't understand why you people use and like Manila? It's old UI already ~ 2 years old.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmj-Rv-U-tw

just look at this video, look what you can do with SPB + 6.1 mobile + Xperia. It's 10 times for usefull than any Manila. It's faster, no bugs! No sleep death and etc! I was using Manila for 4 month, and after 2.5 LEO i understood that this idea of interface is dead ( HTC understood it too, that's why the created Sense UI on Android )
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] biernes_atrece:
i still prefer plain 6.5 (titanium) without manila for it's functionality.

i use manila just to show other people that my x1 can still go further with regards

to customization and eye candy (an overused phrase by the way :D )

same goes for spb.

what i dont like is too much scrolling and too much flips before you get to touch the app you're actually looking for.

but to each his own

btw, how old is spb? :rolleyes:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] deepthroat:
just for eye-candy only i guess ...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Oobly:
Seems like trolling to me... ;)

I use manila since I can see all the info I want at a glance and it's easy to get to the data and apps I want with a single slide or tap or hardware keypress (two for less used apps, three for least used, which is good organisation since it matches how we function in real life). There are shortcuts on Leo today screen and the interface is very intuitive. You don't have to "learn" where things are or spend hours setting it up... Enough reasons?

I guess if I wasn't flashing my device so often I may use something that takes time to set up, but is very customisable like SPB, but... I flash a LOT.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] lulonen:
In my opinion titanium is terrible, SPB shell looks very nice but ater 2 weeks i back to manilla.

Why?

In my opinion newset manilla aka HTC sense not only looks better but also is much more intuitive. HTC also prepared many soft within which SPB simply doesnt'have at all forcing to instal elternative ones.

As i have Diamond also it gives more reasons to use. Main is that only manilla audio manager works without problems with orginal HTC headphones.

I know that SPB shell is fast, manilla slow but despite of it manilla is more complex, easier to configure, more popular with much better XDA support.

Of course not everyone like it, so U can always change it for another ;-)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] LordK:
I don't understand the hype about Manila / Sense, also.

Well i looks nice, but thats all, imho it ist not very usefull for quick accessing Contacts, SMS or System Information.

besides, you can have sense with titanium as well (http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-...o-com/294091/wm6-5-skin-wqvga-titanium-sense/)!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vladimired:
thanks and sorry that i made a video and didn't asked you, and sorry that i don't have a good camera. Sense on titanium can't compare anyhow with sense on SPB IMHO.

flashing blue light and no bootup

sometimes the screen shows ROM but crashes. (no backlight)

and with my other battery i just get a glowing red light.

i overclocked it in the past, any chance the the OC killed it? highest was 570 something but only for a short period.

i've noticed something though. i charge it with my qtek 1010's charger 5v 1A however on the blueangel its 5v 2A. but i worked fine for about 6 months.

any thoughts? is it gone for good?

Have you tried another battery (aside from the two that you have)? You can try to get a new one from eBay for like $10.

One more question, can you go into bootloader? If so, does the phone behave in the same way as you are describing or does it stay in the "serial" screen?
