How is the use of pocket Excel with touch only LEO?

With regular touch screen I use the old "Keyboard" and a stylus and it works ok. With new touch-only keyboard I found EXTREMELY difficult to use pocket Excel.

How is it with the new Leo?

can anyone point out what im doing wrong?

You could just download the "user.conf Creator" application from the Market. All you need to do in the program is check your options and enter numeric values for swappiness and whatnot.

I ahve a major problem.

Today my battery went down, so I had to charge it.

I left it to charge when I returned the led was red, which means battery is low right? So I noticed it wasnt charging. I retried and was red again.

So I took the battery out and try to to start the phone with the charger attached. But it woudnt start.

The led was green and bliking yellow.

It wont even charge from the pc...................

What do I have to do? What could be wrong?

Thanx in advance
[Sable] john09:
It's possible to turn charging off in the power settings... not sure what to suggest :(
[Sable] Emrulez:
Itsw working again. Battery seemed dead. I left it charging for one day.
[Sable] GuestX00823:
it shouldn't do that, even if you charge it for that long. HP automatically stops charging when full.

Probably the mini usb port is broken. You should have it checked.

As the Zune and the HD2 have similar capacitive screens surely we could expect games like this on the HD2 soon?

http://www.wmexperts.com/quick-review-new-zune-hd-3d-games
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kersh:
No. you will not see games like that on HD2 soon or later.

simply not.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dee-Key:
why? You gotta give a more voluminous answer than that..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kersh:
Zune is not windows mobile, is an specific device like a videoconsole and HD2 is like a PC.

Also, Zune have the tegra processor that is far more powerfull than the snapdragon in graphics, more support and lower resolution.

And, the vast majority of the win mobile phones are not too much powerful, so nobody is gonna make games for a 5% of the market of Windows mobile. Instead of that, they will make games for Iphone, zune or similar.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] alexleon:

its just that microsoft wm sucks without sense and htc and it is difficult to play on a resistive no-multitouch screen..and above all, wm device (eccept the new ones) are very poor as chipset and driver..

Hi there,

I am undertaking a project at the moment that involves Windows Mobile emulators. I have installed the emulator images that Microsoft provide and it works flawlessly. The company I work for make a software for Windows Mobile devices and we need a way to put an emulator on our website to showcase the software and let it be manipulated by potential users.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of incorporating an emulator on a website for free as the prices i've been quoted are in the hundreds or thousands and that is way too much!

Any help would be much appreciated.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holmes901:
I was trying to load up my gf's G1 and I had a cyans newest rom and pretty much all was working good. Now my friend decided to try the boot screen flasher to load a custom boot image and well it was not working so he said that it was the SPL and I told him that not to worry about it...But he did it anyway and now when the phone loads it stays on the G1 screen. I tried to load into recovery (home+power) to see if I could nandroid but no dice. Any Ideas...I would like this to work by time she gets home as I am creating a playboy theme for her phone.

P.S. I decided to let my friend know not to touch my phones by a nice punch in the arm

P.P.S. I know I should search for this but I am time crunching thanks to my friend and need to get this working again for her ASAP
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
I would give him a little more than a punch.... if he flashed the SPL

and you cant get to the SPL (Cam+Power) or recovery (Home+Power)

then your phone is bricked....

just so you know... the boot screen flasher has two options..one for the standard/engineering/hardspl and another for the haykuro SPL
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holmes901:
Yeah When I do camera power I still get the G1 screen
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Sorry but this is a brick. Not fixable.

Try not to actually kill your friend, but he definitely deserves a serious beating.

There is one thing that's worked on a few magics/sapphires, but I don't think anyone's had it work on a g1.. you might as well give it a try since it's literally your only shot: You need to have fastboot drivers already installed and working on your pc and a copy of the engineering or hardspl.. plug your phone in by usb but don't switch it on and execute this command:

fastboot flash hboot hboot.img

You should get the message "Waiting for device...", now hold [camera] power the phone on and hope. If it doesnt work, try pulling and reinserting the battery a few times. The idea is to get fastboot to recognise the phone before it trips up and start the flash, but as I said I don't know if this has ever worked on a g1. It has been reported that this is more likely to work with linux than windows as it reacts to usb devices much more quickly.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
fastboot only works in the spl though. the radio never calls the spl if the radios outdated.

also, why would you want to send haykuros spl back on the phone, when thats what caused it to brick in the first place.

can you link me to where the magic people got it to work? because i doubt their brick is the same as this
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ESKIMOn00b:
to the first part of your statement: thats our best guess but noone REALLY knows, so if you dont want off the wall, maybe fix your phone solutions, then go else where

and i do agree that using HARDSPL versus haykuro would prolly be better idea, but its worth a shot nonetheless, depends all on where the fastboot code exisits and where exactly the phones hang, if you have some specific details that the rest of us are missing then do SHARE

and from what ive heard you'll need to be running linux for the reasons above (windows being slow as balls to do anything, and "security" {hostility} protocols applied to the usb bus)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
That's what I thought til I saw this thread too, but the magics were spl bricks or I wouldn't have even posted it :p You're right tho, I meant to recommend hardspl, not haykuro's.. slip of the fingers. I've edited the post.

I'll try to find the magic thread again.. I can't quite remember where it was though..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
what do you mean by no one already knows? We do know. i dont think youve been following xda very closely.

read the the threads that relate to the spl because all that info is already shared. Heres the summary

IPL>SPL>Android

when the link from IPL>SPL is broken.... there is nothing

Fastboot is on the SPL.

Its not "the rest of us" that don't know this....its just you

@Golden

Im surprised that hasnt been looked at yet. However..the spl bricks are probably very different from the ones on the G1

reason being is that Magic users are using Magic radios and Magic SPLs

These G1 bricks are from using G1 Radio and ported Magic SPL's

Technically, any magic radio should be compatible any magic spl

their bricks would easier to fix as the proper software is probably still on there while g1 may or may not recognize the software such as the magic spl

My hd2 is losing almost 10 % per hour. If i use wifi to update weather etc in sence it may lose 5% in under 5 minutes~!!

I am sure that is coming from a bad app i am using, causing battery drain!!

Please help, any ideas which it may be??

I have installed both free apps and apps i had bought for my hd as well.

Resco explorer

Fingerkeyboard 2.1

gfreek F_Brians tskbar v5.a (many say that taskbar cause also bat troubles..)\

Pim backup

Resco contact manager

Lockscreen fix v4 by heartofwolf

16 shortcuts for sense

Resco audio recorder

sms report eraser jgui

core player

mosko mobi fim

marketplace

skyfire

wvd

midomi

million dollar pocker

PPC visuals Dusk showcase1.0.1b (because hd2 dont have task manager where i want it to be!)

Thats all!! All installed into main memory..(and of course most of them not active as task never! - only apps that running like taskbar, task manager, resco etc..)

ANY IDEAS WHAT TO TRY?? :(:confused:
[HD2 General] hnparedes:
What I would do in your situation it would be to do a hard-reset and check if the situation keeps the same. If not, I would start to install apps one by one and check which one is doing that.
[HD2 General] kostasalfa:
If i cant find any other solution, yes ill do that. But i want to go the other way round, and simply by unistalling find the problem.

The truth is though that the first 24 hours that i had my hd as stock (no apps, not even my contacts) and only the sence configured the battery was still draining fast..And with little usage i lost 40% in about 5 hours..Still far away from the battery tests from our friend xmoo here in xda..

Other users experience???? Please post here so we can check!
[HD2 General] tboy2000:

[HD2 General] mallman:
i don't have the answer but can confirm great battery life. I plugged mine in immediately when i got it and left it plugged i over night. To my surprise, i am getting the best battery live of any htc product ive owned (and that's a lot lol) with pretty substantial use. Now the difference between you and me may be 3g. I live in the states and don't get 3g, also i set mine to gsm only. Maybe try gsm only for a few hours?
[HD2 General] Biffy:
I've also turned off auto brightness and have it on the lowest setting most of the time, as it's enough for me and helps get the most out of the battery.
[HD2 General] KB24@CL:
the correct way to get the battery in best possible shape

before first use...charge over night

..then use untill battery is completely empty...

...then load over night again (that means about 10 hours)

you do that 10 times in a raw and your battery will be in the best possible shape. From there, you don't have to do the extremes every time but at the beginning it takes about 10 full charging circles for the battery to use its full potential.
[HD2 General] kersh:
thats complete bull**** on litium ion batteries.

Li-ion doesn't need to do the full charging cicles and deplete the 100% of the battery will damage the battery.
[HD2 General] darken_rahl:
My experience with the HD2 battery is great: I get two to three days with one chargecycle. I have set the networktype on GSM and not on Auto.. I think this helps.
[HD2 General] wilbur:
this is the only way I can ever get my handsets to go more than one day! Fine for emails / calendar sync, not so handy for browsing/maps though!
[HD2 General] hnparedes:
What I do with my mobiles is:

When I open it, I use it till the battery is completly over;

Charge the mobile during 10/12 h;

Then use the mobile normally and charge it whenever I want;

After 1 month, I let the battery get completly drained and then do another full charge.

Altough is LI-ON battery and it has no memory, it's necessary to do a "full" recharge from time to time to "calibrate". Don't know if it's really like that, but it's what I've been doing and it works great for me.
[HD2 General] kostasalfa:
I HAVE 3G ENABLED ALL THE TIME,AND WHEN I GOT THE PHONE I BEGAN USING IT ASAP WITG THE CHARGER ON, TILL 100 percent! Writing from thd phone noe as it... charges!51 percent with almost no usage the last 7 hours! Maybe i ll try the full drain thing! Just to check!

ps. also the typing expirience sucks for me.does the aling screen option works in this kind of screen!?
[HD2 General] hnparedes:
How's the reception in your area? I had a phone that during night, with only GSM network, drained 30% in my home. But in other areas, 1/2% only.
[HD2 General] 47789:
1) let it charge overnight (8hr+), phone off, straight from socket not through pc usb

2) fully drain the battery then fully recharge. repeat for 2-3 times

3) try flight mode (if there is one), let it idle for 1 hour or more. any drain?

4) go through settings and switch off periodic updates (activesync, weather, email). any drain?

5) remove questionable program(s) and see if it helps

6) worst case scenario, hard reset and check if battery usage is back to normal. then install one program at a time
[HD2 General] alexleon:
that's the best way to destroy battery. it is a li-ion: first time it's importante to have fast charge.

wot i do is:

-fast charge and never let the battery die.

in this way, alla my phone have an eccellent battery as the first day.
[HD2 General] the original mobilitygeek:
There must be something corrupted with your device.

I had min in use from Friday noon to Sunday late afternoon (forgot my charger at home):

about 1 hour of phone usage, push mail activated, weather sync (syncs all hours), took 5 pictures (2 footprint and 3 normal in hires) and alarm at Saturday and Sunday morning

battery dropped from 100% to 21% in this timeframe with the above usage. I think this is not too bad :)
[HD2 General] KB24@CL:
probably you aren't very knowledgable regarding batteries...I am.

altho Lithium-Ion batteries have no memory, they still need to be charged correctly at the beginning to free up the potential.

but whatever...do whatever makes you sleep at night
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
Can you tell us exactly what is the best charging routine for our phone please. When new and when its been used for a while. Thanks.
[HD2 General] tregba:
Sorry but hnparedes is right. I've come across countless devices that need to be recalibrated every so often as even though the item in question dies because of 'depleted battery', I can still pick up a remaining capacity using a voltmeter and some other fancy equipment.

As a result I do pretty much what he/she does when it comes to li-ion batts:-

1. Receive device and let discharge naturally till it can go on no more.

2. Leave to fully charge overnight.

3. Use normally as I like charging when I want.

4. Recalibrate maybe a month or two later or when I can't access a charger.

5. Never charge battery excessively longer than needed or expose to high temps as that is the quickest way to wear down total capicity of battery.
[HD2 General] Xdenwarrior:
um, this is completely NORMAL for a device with a 4.3 inch LCD + 1GHz drainer with only 1200mAh battery :cool: What do u expect? a week of battery life???

oh, and I got this from somewhere else:

Preparing new lithium-ion for use

Unlike nickel and lead-based batteries, a new lithium-ion pack does not need cycling through charging and discharging. Priming will make little difference because the maximum capacity of lithium-ion is available right from the beginning. Neither does a full discharge improve the capacity of a faded pack. However, a full discharge/charge will reset the digital circuit of a 'smart' battery to improve the state-of-charge estimation.
[HD2 General] kersh:
yes? you are?

A lithium-ion battery provides 300-500 discharge/charge cycles. The battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery. There is no concern of memory when applying unscheduled charges.

* Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.) Short battery life in a laptop is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns.

I fly radio controlled helicopters, and the golden rule with lipos is... never run them down completely.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Yup... but with helis the main reason is that they tend to fall from the sky rather quickly when you're out of juice, always better to take some safety margin and land before the pack starts getting weak... ;)

I mostly fly planes, where it's a lot less of a problem. Of course it's no good to overdischarge, but they can take a lot of abuse before a drop in performance can actually be noticed.

And we discharge our batteries at 10C, not 0.5 max like on a phone. And a normal discharge is 3V/cell, while the HD2 forces shutdown at 3.6V. LOTS of margin.
