Ah, then I need to get a new charger.

When I search for "usb car 1Ah" I get no results.

I like the USB charger because it allows me to use the splitter.

That way I can plug in the audio into my car and keep it charged. (Except it's not charging. :()

What's my best route to go?
[G1 General] phatmanxxl:
use this one:
[G1 General] t1n0m3n:
I am not sure what a different splitter will do for you. However I searched and found all kinds of 1000mA car chargers.

http://www.meritline.com/square-usb-car-charger-black-938---p-28879.aspx?source=fghdac

Here is one that is cig adapter to USB...

http://www.bedoxinc.com/12vdcauplto5.html

My search was: usb car charger 1000ma

Edit:

That was a Google product search.
[G1 General] phatmanxxl:
The cig to usb are always the best, they seem to last a lot longer too (more durable). I always seem to break the regular ones after a few months using them.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Note to people;

A != Ah

Ah = Amp HOUR

A = Amp

1 amp for 1 hour = 1 Ah.

An amp is the INSTANTANEOUS current.

An amp hour is the TOTAL CHARGE TRANSFERRED over a period of time.
[G1 General] livejamie:
What about a 2000mA USB charger?

Is there an amount that will be too much and break the phone?
[G1 General] t1n0m3n:
No. The phone will only pull as many amps as it needs.

However, if you do get too crazy with amperage, I suppose it would be possible to blow a fuse in your car if you *do* ever charge/power something that can max the amperage out. It would depend on what else is drawing current on the fuse that your cig lighter is on and what the size of the fuse is. You could use a multimeter to measure the amperage draw while everything on the cig. lighter fuse is running to see how much more amps you could use before causing the fuse to blow. Check your car manual for the info on what is running on the same circuit as the cig. lighter.
[G1 General] phatmanxxl:
I wouldn't try to push too much power into the phone than what the phone is rated, you could risk damaging the phone and/or the battery. IMO its not worth the risk.
[G1 General] t1n0m3n:
The cigarette adapter does not "push" the charge into the phone. The phone draws the current that it needs and the rest is unused. Check out "Ohm's Law."

V=IR

5v = 1000mA x 5ohms

The resistance is fixed, and the voltage is regulated. Therefore the current cannot go over 1000mA.

However, if you were to get a 6v/2000mA charger, the phone would attempt to draw 1200mA and possibly fry itself.

6v = 1200mA x 5ohms

With that said, the 5v/1000mA charger is like a double safety. Taking away the max mA draw safety won't cause issues, unless something goes wrong in the voltage regulation process.

For maximum protection 5v/1000mA is the recommended charger.

Hey Gang,

I too am a proud owner of a GSM Treo Pro, and have been waiting for god knows how long for a HardSPL to be made, and cooked roms to follow ...

Thank you NightRaven, Mattbee, but most of all, the amazing CMonex! :D

I wanna flash my Treo Pro, but don't know whcih version to us.

Quick question, which cooked ROM do you think is better at this current moment? Which has less bugs / more features? Please hit the polls!!

Also, if all goes to crappers, is there a stock WM6.1 ROM that I can fall back to? I noticed Nightraven has one uploaded, but I've never heard of an official stock rom being released .. apart from CDMA!

Thanks everyone :)
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] ron_hai:
NightRaven's ROM is the best~

Mattbee's with more bugs~
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] jsp_m:

[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] Art4:
To be honest, this is my greatest concern as well.

Dear ROM cookers - having a version with the 96dpi patch and one without would be greatly appreciated (!).

Hello! I'm new here and have gained interest in my htc vogue from Bell. I haven't unlocked it as I might not need it. I was wondering if I could use remote desktop to connect to my home desktop. I know that the vogue does not have wifi, so I was wondering if there was any way around it. Thanks for reading, I hope to see some posts!

Thanks.

[Touch CDMA General] Link9228:
if you connect via ActiveSync, you will automatically share the connection from your computer with your device.

As far as I know (IIRC), there is a remote desktop app with some builds of windows mobile 6.5. Not sure how well it works.
[Touch CDMA General] Tom Linux:
Thanks for replying, I was actually thinking of accessing my files and controlling the computer when I'm not near it to access it, such as if I was a room from my computer, I could use my phone to raise the volume on some music, or shut it down via remote desktop. Any more suggestions though?

Thanks

Remote Desktop

There are two versions floating around on XDA of the remote desktop client. I installed the one rated to work on WM6.1 and luckily it worked on WM6.5.
[Touch CDMA General] weezyfeezy:
Yes, the WM6.1 version should work for simple remote desktop.

Has anyone had any experience using remote desktop on the vogue along side a vpn client? Trying to use my vogue with computers at work has been impossible so far...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MovinMan:
I have a VZW TP2 with a stock rom. I can play music all day with any program as long as I have the screen on (CorePlayer, Windows Media and Slide 2 Play). When I attempt to play music with the screen off using Touch Diamond screen off program (psShutXP), the music continues for awhile then shuts off when switching to the next song. I tried a hard reset. Problem persists. This is weird becuase I could play music all day long with the screen off about a week and half ago. I dont know what happen.

All music is stored on an 8gb lexar class 4 card. Had the same problem with my old 8gb sandisk card before it died around the same time the problem surfaced.

I am not running touchflo

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] antdawg702:
While I love how windows mobile 6.5 offers better "kinetic scrolling" which is more iphone_like, I was wondering if I'm just going crazy or do the graphics seem to get wavy when scrolling through long lists or applications? Like in the file manager or internet explorer mobile. If I'm not crazy, is there anything that I can install,uninstall or modify that will reduce or get rid of this effect? And what could be causing this is is a graphics software issue? A Microsoft issue? Or hardware?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
The reason this "wave" effect happens (aka screen tearing) is because the chipset in this device isn't great to begin with, and the drivers for it aren't the greatest either. However, in my opinion, Chainfire's Gfxboost seems to help a little.

Hi,

I recently flashed my Diamond with Aztor's Re-Evolution ROM, it comes with TF3D 2.1, on the SMS tab while reading in threaded mode there is a curtain at the bottom that allows you to slide from SMS to Email to Updates and Events (etc). Is there anyway to remove that bar altogether ? its a bit useless for me and takes up alot of screen real estate.

Thanks for any replies!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfgamaral:
Hi,

I just bought an HTC Hero off eBay today (still waiting for it) and it comes from T-Mobile but it's unlocked. However, I'm looking at debranding the phone and I want to install the original HTC ROM's instead of T-Mobile's.

I've been reading these forums and there are original HTC ROM's, original HTC but rooted ROM's, custom ROM's and etc... I'm not interested in the custom ones at the moment, I just want to get the original stuff for now, but without the T-Mobile branding. Also, this way, I can always be updated with the latest changes from HTC.

As far as I understand this, I'll have to root it at least once to install a new ROM right? And after that, maybe I should install the generic but rooted HTC ROM so that in the future I have the phone rooted already and everything's easier, correct? Is this the recommend approach or should I install the latest original and untouched HTC ROM?

For now I don't see many benefits from rooting the phone, and I think I just want to make things easier by using the original HTC ROM so that in the future I can use HTC own utilities (RUU I believe) to update the phone. In other others, I'm waiting eagerly for HTC update with Android 2.0 and I just want be able to install it directly from HTC when it comes out. I'll deal with rooting and custom firmwares later if I really see the need.

So, what's the best procedure to install the latest generic HTC ROM?

Hi !

I'm looking for a (free) twitter app for my HTC Hero that does the following: when there are for example 3 tweets with each a link in it, I'd like to open them all in different windows. The apps I've currently used (Peep and Twidroid) don't do this... when I tap on a link, a browser windows opens... then, when I go back into the twitter app and tap another link, the current window of my browser (which is loading the first link) will now begin loading the second link I've tapped... So I "lose" the first website... So I'm looking for a twitter app that opens those different links in different windows, so I can view them at the same time...

Or is there maybe a (hidden) setting somewhere ? Didn't find it yet though...

Thanks in advance !

[G1 General] Macmee:
Well since I'm stuck getting this from a Canadian carrier I get screwed over when it comes to transfer. I'm eyeing the 500mb plan, but I'm not sure what I should get. I would use the device for internet most days, sometimes for MSN, and I would be wanting background data with gmail sync on.

So I'm curious as to what you folks use, if you wouldn't mind, I would love to hear what you use your phone for, and how much data you consume monthy.

Cheers, Dave
[G1 General] tazz9690:
last month i used 1.2 GB of data.

I average between 750MB to 2 gigs of data a month.

I go on youtube. Browse the web. Have a lot of apps that use the web. Shazam. ProjectINF and cestos use a lot of data. FML. Maps with navigation. Twidroid. On a rare occasion I tether my phone but have not done so for months.
[G1 General] Anartic:
I have unlimited data, but I probably use only under 200MB a month. If T-Mo would extend 3G out to my home I would use data more, but now I'm stuck using wifi most of the time :/
[G1 General] tubaking182:
usage

i use about 9GB a month, but i tether a lot(i don't have internet access without it) and i play games like cestos. i have performed a test where gmail uses about 1GB in a month to check my mail, but then again i get about 10 emails a day and i respond to most of them. you could always turn off autosync and that would cut back on your usage.
[G1 General] tazz9690:
T-Mobile's cap is 10 Gigs a month, right?
[G1 General] tubaking182:
yeah, one time they seant me a text message telling me i was over the cap and the claimed to drop my bandwdth, but since i was already on EDGE i didn't noctice a difference.
[G1 General] tazz9690:
you're on edge? That's a bummer. Where do you live?
[G1 General] tubaking182:
i'm in st. louis MO, i have 3G now but it only arrived two to three months ago so i didn't have it when i went over.
[G1 General] sonikamd:
Actually iirc there's no cap on edge, just 3g. Tho I've got the same text msg, i think it's just computer sent after you hit 10gigs. I'm in the same boat as tubaking182. Edge (and gprs :'( @ times) tethering is all I have out here in the boon docks and my bandwidth is all over the place so who knows.

hmm Seems I'm only up to 70mb or so tonight.. slow night lol

edit: the same boat tubaking182 used to be. atm I'm in middle of moontaana.. think they're expected to get 3g in 2054 or so..:/
[G1 General] evilkorn:
What would be the best program to use to mesure the usage? Something that would split edge/3g from wifi, by program/process would be cool so I could see sync useage alone.
[G1 General] sonikamd:
I've always liked NetCounter. Tho it doesn't measure individual apps usage. NetMeter claims to but I have yet to put it to a real world test.
[G1 General] evilkorn:
Thanks, I'll get both and see. NetCounter said 25mb today after I installed it, I don't know how it came up with that though off the bat, and 8mb on wifi (downloading those two programs + some email).

So the min I would use a month if that data was correct is 300mb/mo no tethering though, just normal use (gmail, twitdroid, FB).
[G1 General] jashsu:
Maybe 20GB/month? My carrier has no limit or throttling on 3G usage.

Running tally for Nov...
[G1 General] Macmee:
ah, I'm with Bell and have a 500mb maximum, so I guess no background data for me:(
[G1 General] smccaldin:
From the UK

To give the UK perspective: G1 on T-Mobile

Using NetCounter,

Cell:

~50MB /Month

Wifi:

~1GB /Month

But that's just emails + website browsing on Cell

Most of the Wifi use is Podcasts

3G isn't particularly fast where I am (about 250 Kbps) - takes about 5 minutes to download a 40MB update.zip file. So tend to us Wifi for that sort of thing.
[G1 General] Macmee:
That's not fast? I get around 60kbps!

Do you use background data?
[G1 General] tazz9690:
i get about 800kbps to 1.2mbps on average. But I just took a screen shot of my phone as soon as I got home and I got this :O

This is one of my best ones on 3G that I have had.

I feel bad that some of your data speeds are so slow.
[G1 General] FaJu:
I've had that Rogers 500mb plan for four months and so far I haven't done more than about 300mb. It's mostly just browsing websites and having autosync on. I use Shazam here and there and maybe a handful of youtube videos a month.
[G1 General] Macmee:
Yeah, well I hate you now:p

surly someone can tell me how ugly background data's going to be when I get my bill?
[G1 General] AverageCanadian:
I really wouldn't be too concerned if I were you. I have 16 days left on my billing cycle with Rogers and I've only used 150mb's. That included tethering to 3 laptops for 3 hours. As long as you're not streaming music or downloading torrents on your phone you'll be fine. Especially if you have wifi at home and other places. There are many apps that you can download that will automatically turn on your wifi when your phone is in a known wifi area(setup by you).

I don't do a lot of im'ing, mostly just texting, but I spent a decent amount of time on the interenet on my phone, and everything is set for push/sync.
[G1 General] impreziv:
i have an iPhone 3G, and I have the 6gb plan with Rogers ($30). and I only use about 500mb per month, sometimes less. and I use youtube, facebook, email, and browsing so much that I completely deplete my battery each day before getting home.

unless you're tethering, most people dont need more than 500mb-1gb
[G1 General] androidftw:

[G1 General] brendanmurphy:
Same. I have the g1 and i have the 500mb plan but they had an offer for Double your data for 5$ and i took it to be on the safe side. To my surprise i have never passed 150mb. I average 90mb a month. That is surfing engadget, joystiq, playstation blog and using Swift twitter. I have background data enabled. How do some of you use GIGS thats crazy.
[G1 General] naria01:
I use around 3 to 4 gigs a month... I download a whole lot, and also use pdanet for my laptop :]
[G1 General] jashsu:
Tethering. Although if I didn't tether, my podcasts would still add up to about about 75MB daily.

IIRC a while ago some rooted builds were repeatedly downloading a 30MB update and being unable to verify the file, would keep redownloading the file. Some folks with low bandwidth limits invisibly and unknowingly hit their bandwidth limits due to this. The problem was fixed, but one should constantly keep their system software updated if not on a large capacity dataplan.
