Does somebody know yet if this device needs pin4 and pin5 connected (ground) for fast-charging on micro-usb?

On my kaiser I needed to connect these two to be able to charge in my car with my standard USB-charger.

To keep this charger as a universal charger (hope its 2 Amperes won't fry my HD2), I need to buy new cables or a mini-usb to micro-usb adapter and might need to modify them.

I noticed that the battery on my kaiser was getting fairly hot on this 2amps. Is there a protecting circuit, or is this in a safe range for those batteries?
[HD2 Accessories] 20mihalko:
amperes of you charger are max current, wchich you cat have from the charger... it is all about, how much leo will take :) it is about voltage...

and sorry, no idea about this connectivity... if you will tell me, how to check this, i will check it for you... :)
[HD2 Accessories] Donald24:
So, if I understood correctly, the device determines how much Amps to be drawn?

If you take the wall-charger and you look onto the micro-usb plug:

_____________
\ , , , , , /
\_________/
PIN: 5 4 3 2 1

For a Kaiser device to fastcharge , pin 5 and 4 must be connected together.

On normal USB-cables (micro and mini) for data, pin4 has no function, it isn't even wired in the cable.

Do you have a volt-meter to check this?

Thanks!

USB A male to micro USB A male cable versus USB B cable?

Hello guys,

I bought my HD2 yesterday ! I am very happy with it.

I would like to buy 2 more cables on ebay (1 for the office, 1 for home).

Should I buy the

- USB A male to micro USB A male cable

OR

- USB A male to micro USB B male cable

I am a bit confused here.

I see 2 types of cables on ebay, not sure which one to buy!

Any ideas?

Thanks
[HD2 Accessories] Donald24:
If my assumptions are correct, and the cables work like on the Kaiser device, it's:

- USB A male to micro USB A male cable (for fast-charging, works with generic-usb car charger - NO data connection)

edit: WRONG, because micro-A-plug is not compatible with micro-B-socket.

- USB A male to micro USB B male cable (for data-connection and slow USB-charging)

Still needs confirmation by an HD2-user, but I don't think HTC changed something going from mini to micro-plug. (I think they dropped EXT-usb design for having an extra 3,5mm headset-jack instead. - but that shouldn't confuse you)
[HD2 Accessories] turt:
Well, not exactly:

Type A is to be plugged into host-device (the one supplying power to the other device, usually the charger or your computer), whereas type B is to be plugged into the target device (in this case, the HD2).

This typology exists to prevent you from linking two power suppliers at both ends of the cable...

So what you need is a "USB Type A to Micro USB Type B" cable :)
[HD2 Accessories] Donald24:
That's the original USB-specs, you are referring to.

Mini/micro-A-plugs are using pin4-to-ground by these USB-spec, for electronically differenciating these.

What I wanted to pinpoint, is that HTC decided to mark pin4-to-ground for detection of their charging equipment.

And since micro-A plugs fit into micro-B sockets, you should be able to use a "USB A male to micro USB A male cable" for your charging needs (without modifying your micro-B cable, which can be quite tricky because of its size)

edit: I was wrong with that, it's the other way round, sry. Does the HD2 have a AB-socket then? I believe it's a regular B-socket.

Then if I stand correctly, you will still need a special modified micro-B-cable for charging.

To make it even more difficult, HTC-design does not charge the Kaiser with a regular mini-b-cable on a car-charger, because there was no data-signal on it.

My intention of this thread was asking, if this behavior has changed when going from mini to micro-usb design, and is still an unanswered question.
[HD2 Accessories] dfulgo:
...same for me. may I have a clear and "safe" answer for dummie?

- USB A male to micro USB A male cable

OR

- USB A male to micro USB B male cable

Thanks a lot.
[HD2 Accessories] Donald24:
only USB-B-male fit into the device, boy!

Well, I've seen unboxing videos now, and the wall-charger ... is a normal-USB-plug-in device like a car-charger. Seems that my intention of this thread is obsolete.
[HD2 General] jamuk2004:
The Toshiba TG01 has built-in cpu scaling which is nice to ensure maximum speed (Maybe why it beats HD2 in benchmarks?)

Does HD2 have this (I doubt it as its never been mentioned) and if not, could it be ported from TG01?

Thanks!
[HD2 General] jamuk2004:
Bump? Is nobody interest in this?
[HD2 General] elyl:
CPU scaling doesn't ensure "maximum speed"... if there was no CPU scaling the processor would ALWAYS be running at maximum speed. Scaling slows the processor down to save power when it's not being used as heavily.

This kind of support is likely to be at hardware/OS level, so I'm sure it's going to be on the Leo.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Does neuROM not to something like that? Slows down the processor when the display is off etc.
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
These sort of things tend to be specific to certain OS/CPU combinations. What worked on the old Qualcomm chips probably won't work on the Snapdragon. Maybe it will, but if not it would have to be modified to work with the platform.
[Touch HD General] kasperknop:
I have already got a 16GB SDHC class 6...

Hope I am wrong... XD

But this will not work in the HD2? That's just crazy. Can it really be true that it only supports crappy old and slow MicroSD at the very max size of 8gb and no real internal phone memory??? Even the hero has sdhc :S

EDIT: Source: http://www.htc.com/europe/product/hd2/specification.html
[Touch HD General] aimache:
The specification says '(SD 2.0 compatible)'.

SD 2.0 allows up to 32 Gb per card.

HC only means the card is bigger than 4GB.

Can't see any issue here ...
[Touch HD General] kasperknop:
So my microSDHC is compatible? =)
[Touch HD General] aimache:
The slot is a microSD one. Your card is a microSD one.

The SD 2.0 standard allows 32 GB. Your card is 16GB.

(Forget about the HC part, purely marketing and useless)

Short answer: yes, your 16GB microSD card is compatible with the HD2.
[Touch HD General] kasperknop:
Ok thanks alot =)

Allows me to schedule the download of internet web pages - so I would

specifiy a URL and a time and at that time it would download the entire page and save

it to be read whilst im on the tube.

Now yes I know there HTC's Push but you cant specify a time and it doesnt always work - buggy.

Anything out there - could someone build it for me even!?

Cheers

[HD2 General] xmoo:
If you read the manual you can see what's inside the box.

It also includes MicroSD card + Pounch

Does anyone know how big the SD card is going to be, and what color the pouch will be?

I'm getting mine 10:00 GMT +1 2morrow
[HD2 General] turt:
My personal bet: a 2Gb MicroSD card and a black pouch.

I've already bought a 16Gb MicroSD card anyway, so whatever is included will be just given away :o
[HD2 General] Toss3:
It's probably just a 2Gb card and a regular black pouch.
[HD2 General] xmoo:
Why 2? As HD1 came with 8gb.....
[HD2 General] Toss3:
I think they're just trying to cut back costs as much as they can. 8Gb cards don't cost that much anyways so it shouldn't be a big issue.

I know for certain that my HD2 won't come with a MicroSD card at all.
[HD2 General] xmoo:
Weird, I got this info from the English + Dutch + German manual.....
[HD2 General] KrewCial:
But he's from finland (judging from the location and little flag icon). Though it's still all speculation in my eyes, some retailers state you do get a pouch and SD card, while others state you don't. We'll just have to wait and see.
[HD2 General] hnparedes:
I order mine and it should come on the 13th!!! :(

xmoo, yours in Dutch, right?
[HD2 General] sgsdebruijn:
1 hour ago the status changed to "on stock" so with a little bit if luck i got mine tommorrow.

Hope the postman is early because we stop here at 12, so maybe waiting a bit longer to have mine.

My HD1 did not came with a SD card and nor my TP2, they were unbranded.
[HD2 General] 6Fg8:
Where did you get the manuals? Already got the WWE version but would be interested in german too.
[HD2 General] xmoo:
So it comes with a 2GB SD Card, to bad :(

On a German website. Don't have the link anymore, I found it while I was on my skool computer.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] irus:
someone posted a cab to get 4 in a row but not sure where just search
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] speedygraphixink:
thanks for responding. i was looking for the original flip style favorites cab. i have searched for both but dead ends for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] speedygraphixink:
Still searching

I still haven't found the original cab for the flip style favorites. I know everyone is likes the new style of contacts. I just would like to flip past my contacts just like I flip through my music.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] killa-mckilla:
from what im told... cause i want the flip style aslo... is that 2.1 has the flip favs and 2.5 has them in a row.

bottom line. its a trade off, but cant have both

[Android Software Development] MikLSP:
​

Hi all, I'm an Admin from a large Sony Ericsson based forum and blog (www.se-nse.net) and we're currently expanding our horizons to cover Android a lot more.

I'm also an xda-developers user but clearly I don't post quite as much over here. I hope that this topic is acceptable though.

We're looking to get some Android developers about the place for both software development and technical knowledge on the forum if interested. se-nse is currently a great resource for modding of SE handsets and we hope to create a similar community for Android within the same site.

So if you know your Android stuff and are interested in joining our project please get in touch.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Mik
[Android Software Development] shaneaus:
I'm holding my breath for some Android devs to work on both sites as well...

B/C I am holding my breath for the xperia! The SE US website lists the X10a for North America with ATT 3g bands. So, I'm hoping the X10 will be the first ATT Android device.

In which case I will definitely be getting one AND I WILL NEED MY ROOT!

I'll still keep my G1 for dev purposes! So, I won't be abandoning XDA!
[Android Software Development] aksd:
Hey Mik,

I used to frequent the se-nse forum during the w800 days, I'd be most glad to assist you with your project if time permits, however do you need a modder, a native developer, a kernel hacker or a Java developer?

Regards,

Akshay
[Android Software Development] MikLSP:
Well community wise we'll hopefully end up with all of those but specifically we're looking for a developer to build an Android app for se-nse.

I'm thinking something along the lines of a news reader for the blog and the ability to login, read PM's and change profile details from the phone. Setting a new avatar using the phones camera would be particularly nice I think.

Mik
[Android Software Development] aksd:
Excellent, is it a group effort? Count me in, although if its just me working on it I dont know how much time I can dedicate to it until the 4th of December, I'm a bit busy till then, giving a talk at droidcon London.
[Android Software Development] MikLSP:
Definitely a group effort as long as there are enough people wanting to be involved.

I'll happily lend ideas and do the testing but I know nothing about programming what so ever :P
[Android Software Development] MikLSP:
Still looking for more developers to join the community and help out with our app development. Anyone who's interested please let me know or just head over to the forum topic linked in the first post :)

Mik
[Android Software Development] Meltus:
ahh se-ense.net. I remember that from when i used to mod my k750i.

Good times. :)

anyway, i'll probably start using both sites, as i'm planning on getting the X10 when it's released.

Maybe it'll need an audio hack, who knows :D
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] WAR_GA:
Don't slam me because I admit I'm a NOOB. I love my TP2 . . . best phone I've ever owned. Am I missing out by not waiting for an android phone?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] alnova1:
I have had these 3 phones..Iphone, G1 and HTC Touch Pro 2. The Iphone is the best phone i have owned but the AT&T service killed it! Just Bad service all the way around....Same as the G1 with T-Mobile....seemed like a good phone but NO SERVICE! I wanted to hate the TP2 because of the windows mobile part of it but I have to say I like it very much. I also like the fact im back on Verizon. I am like you and thinking I might miss out on something by not getting the new Android phone but I would stick with the TP2 for awhile.its a good phone.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ThreeTima:
Won't lie to you and tell you I know much about android. What I do know, however, is that there is a site (link below) that compares "PalmPre vs. iPhone vs. WinMo vs. Android vs. BlackBerry"

In it the writer in the article had very little love for the Android system (at this time), but eluded to the fact that it could be the next big thing, someday. Take a look for yourself and decide.

http://www.mobilitysite.com/2009/01/palmpre-vs-iphone-vs-winmo-vs-android-vs-blackberry-fight/
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] warxhead:
That article is 9 months old, I haven't even heard of the android at that time( I really wasn't into phones that much then anyways, but still ). And he was basing all his tests on the G1, I hope someone writes an updated article of that( I like his style ), and compares it to the droid that is out for verizon. I personally have 24 days until I can get a phone, it's between the TP2, and the droid, but I hear they are in the works of porting android 2 to the TP2 so... (:
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ThreeTima:
I agree, I have sent them an e-mail requesting the same article, but updated with new software/firmware/hardware.

I would recommend that you, and anyone else who wants it, do the same.

http://www.mobilitysite.com/boards/sendmessage.php

Once there, click on Request review, do their little non-bot verification thing and then be sure to include the following:

1. The Original Article Link - http://www.mobilitysite.com/2009/01/palmpre-vs-iphone-vs-winmo-vs-android-vs-blackberry-fight/

2. That you request the same article, but updated with the new software versions, Firmware, and hardware.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] captobie:
I've used both. After I got past the initial excitement of the newness of it, I didn't find anything that gave one phone a significant advantage over the other. At first, it seemed really cool, but it was more of a new car effect. Once I settled in the coolness faded and it was just another OS. If choosing between an Android phone and a Windows phone, I would let the hardware be your guide, not the OS. Just my $0.02.

Edit... actually, I should mention one area Android does shine, not surprisingly, it's integration with Google. If you are a heavy Google apps user then Android wins. Otherwise, my comments above apply.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ThreeTima:
Again, I don't know much about android... However, I've just gotten used to WinMo and it's seemless integration with Windows Operating systems through it's various Mobile versions of Windows Apps (Word, Excell, Outlook, etc) (FYI, I rarely, if ever, Use Active Sync, which is a piece of $#!+). I've also gotten really used to the wide range of free apps and endless stream of mods for WinMo Phones.

I believe that it really depends on 1) what you are use to, 2) what you are looking for, and 3) what, if anything, you are comfortable compromising on. Bottom line, I cannot make up someone's mind, only offer my opinion and experience and encourage someone to make up their own mind.

I would be interested to see how this works. The only thing I really use from the Google apps is the Google Maps. I do have the GPS software, and Bing. However, I've found that usually (not always) when I cannot find something with one GPS/Map software, one of the other two will find it. But to say I use that heavily is not totally true. I also use the other apps very little, if any. So Overall, though I would like to see how it works, I don't believe that Android is for me.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dezoris:
After spending all weekend with the Droid. There are a few things it does better.

Integrated search, and voice control. Secondly it is much quicker to switch tasks. Amazon MP3 store is really great to have integrated as well

Aside from that even playing with OpenHome skins, I think the most recent version of HTC Sense 2.5 for the TP2 is a much better interface.

Android claims it is such an open platform but they dont have sites like PPC or XDA to support their phones yet.

Windows Mobiles biggest problem is its windows mobile. Its not the trend, and there is so much negative press about it that people overlook it.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] deviantirish:
I love my windows mobile device. I have the TP2. I have seen where people have flashed the TP to Andriod and it seems to work well. Im thinking of doing it to my old TP. The Driod is very cool. My store just got a shippment in. But it hasnt impressed me enought to switch. Flash my old TP maybe. Since it just sits in its box.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] joe50000:
Tried it out, but didn't like it. Android isn't really an operating system it's more like a "skin" for a really poor operating system.

System preferences and commands aren't congregated in one place.

Apps can't be saved to an external memory card. You can't back them up, either.

Preferences and customization is limited, compared to what you can do with Windows Mobile.

As far as being an "idiot proof" OS it still has a pretty high learning curve, and compared to the iPhone, which has an elegant UI, one that I respect tremendously despite my dislike of AT&T and Apple products in general, it doesn't measure up.

Last of all, call quality sucks compared to my TP2. I've been on a train and people can still hear me clear as day.

Win Mob 6.5

Windows mobile is not at all horrible.I’ve had the best experience using winmo 6.5 on HTC HD2.The QWERTY keypad makes it soo easy to send messages, its even helpful for browsing.it Even has the in-built apps such as facebook widget,MSN widget etc.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] wildcard:
Android has an excellent feature, where if you click on a phone number in a webpage, it will dial that number for you. TP2 can't do that. This gives Android a HUGE usability advantage over TP2 (and other WM phones).
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] isleepinabucket:
actually... TP2 DOES do that...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] krusty46:
I use both and they are both good phones. I would not give up my TP2 to use a Droid full time, but it does have its advantages.

The Droids screen is nice, but so is the TP2. The keyboard on the TP2 blows the Droids away.

The voice search on the DROID is awesome, much better and accurate than TellME, which I do have working on my TP2.

Droid is more responsive and the Android marketplace is great, but I have XDA for my TP2 :-)

Droid ships with a 16GB memory card, which is nice.

I like and use both the tilting screen and TV out on the TP2. Droid does neither. Just my 2 cents
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ThreeTima:
Um, seriously, man... this has been a feature of WinMo Phones for quite a while. In fact, most apps that can display a phone number (GPS, Google, Windows Live, any browser that I've used, etc) do allow you to click on them and call them. Most of them require that you confirm it, making sure you pressed the right one, but, other than that the functionality is there.

The only thing that I like Google/Google Maps over the rest of them is that when you dial a number from it's search list, it will transfer the name of that listing (e.g. "Tom's Tire") to the call history and associate it with that number. This does make it a lot easier to go back and find a number that I wouldn't have normally saved. Other than that, they are all pretty even.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] wildcard:
Ummm, seriously, out-of-the-box TP2 (I know I just took mine out of the box) the TP2 *doesn't* do this. Is there a special setting for this or does Verizon (where I got my TP2) disable this feature? I don't think you have your facts straight... WM might be able to do this, but TP2 *does not*
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Imaginos:
Most definitely does do it. Use Bing, web, or email with phone #s displayed. I can click to dial them.
