Without SD card and withou USB Sync, the battery lasts:

Stand by: 67 hours

Device Usage: 4 hours

Calls: 2 minutes
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jj_ewing:
hi to everyone,

i want to generalize what i have read in a few places in this forum about battery drain. Not only fot TOPAZ but with other HTCs as well.

the main battery drainers are:

1.USB with active sync without charging

2.SD card acces (mostly write)

3.WIFI combined with online video playbeck.

4. installing and unistalling any kind of software, especially larger ones.

not exactly in the same order. if you combine some of the above mentioned points together the battery will drains as fast as lightning.

because my device is new and i play whit it a lot the batteri does not last more than a day. but if i put my device aside and using it mostly as phone it drains battery almost 25-30% max per day. using as phone i mean 20-30 min talk,5-6 SMS and 3-4 alarms.

i use official 6.1 1.39.479.2(49068)WWE ROM nad 3.43.25.19 RADIO. with 8G microSD Class4
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] lmemperador:
hi all,

happy 2010

i use nuedynamicclock and works well. what problems do you have with this software?

i use tess pride 3 with andida 1700 mah battery and clock set to 384 at boot, nothing more (idle and more states ... NO)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pa49:
These are very good observations.

There are others less significant, however, two that I would add to your list as important, are choice of flashed cooked ROM as well as radio choice.

Some seem to drain current for no apparent reason, while some are pretty frugal. All to do with ROM build and how they are cooked and optimised.

If you find a 'good un' then the other factors seem to be of a lesser magnitude than before.

I still think a sticky is required on this subject.
[G1 General] OrganizedFellow:
It's rooted with CM 4.2.8

Includes an 8G microSDHC class-6 card

And recently switched to using RA-dream-v1.5.2 for recovery.

No case/holster.

Does have a screen protector.

It has the tiniest 1/8 inch long hairline scratch on the screen itself. It does not distort any viewing. Otherwise, has no other scratches on it.

What do you think I can sell it for?

I'm planning on getting the Nexus One when released.

My wife doesn't want my G1 - so I may sell it. Am just curious.
[G1 General] oshizzle1991:
they usually go for between 100 and 220(max, usually 200) but i would check craigslist and ebay if i were you...
[G1 General] OrganizedFellow:
I was hoping for $100, as it's a year old.

Im glad to hear $200 is possible.

Thanks oshizzle!
[G1 General] phuKKah:
160 is cheap for a decent one. If it had a cracked screen I could see 100 being a possibility, but 150 at least if that's the only scratch.
[G1 General] H@OBouget:
It's insane what the freaking G1 will sell for on ebay.

If you choose to sell it do yourself a favor first, get it unlocked.

Unlocked phones seem to add $75 to the going rate.

If its clean, rooted with a current mod, and unlocked....$140-$175

I fail to understand why a phone that, I can get for $129.99 with tmobile, will sell for $129 on ebay ... broken.

I watched an auction for one that had OBVIOUSLY been run over by a car.

The guy even said, all the plastic parts are cracked or broken. The screen is broken, it does not work, the thing is falling apart. It's junk!

The freaking thing sold for $92.

Personally I think the Chinese are buying them all up and refabing them into operational units or selling them for parts. I mean I can buy every part I need to make a G1 except the mother board and the daughter board off of ebay. (and pay about $129)

Thought about going and extending my contract so I could get a new G1 and then selling my old one one ebay. I figure I'd break even at least.
[G1 General] RodrigoKim:
wow, G1's are being sold for more money than I bought it for. When I purchased my G1 at release w/ a tmobile contract, i paid 125 dollars for my g1, i nabbed it a day early from release :D. but still, are you telling me that g1's are going for that much out there?
[G1 General] OrganizedFellow:
That's what I'm sayin' ... WOWZA!!!

If that's the going rate, I may just buy some functional GeeWons and root them and unlock them and flash them with the latest CM and throw on a $0.99 screen protector and get DOUBLE-DOUBLE!!!

:)
[G1 General] DigitalN.:
I feel I did a terrible thing when I bought my G1 judging by this thread. I paid almost 700 CAD and ended up signing onto a 2 year contract after the fact because I needed data as well....

There should be an icon for getting pounded in the bum.
[G1 General] H@OBouget:
Remember everyone,

These are the "current" prices.

3 months ago G1's were going for about $50 broken, and $120 used.

After the phone first released, they were like $450 for an unlocked phone and even more if it was one of the first rooted phones.

To many people are buying the G1 because it is the new Super toy. My friend with an Iphone, another friend with a Nokia 900 and I are constantly playing the, 'Oh yeh my phone does..." game.

The more people who buy them, the more the market floods and the faster prices can drop.

A large handful of these people you have met...we often see them with posts like "HELP! I just bricked my phone!" ;)

Prices will go down when the Nexus One gets released because it will become the new HOT item.

Then we can all buy super cheap replacement parts for our G1's that are also running the Nexus software thanks to people like Cyanogen, Dwang, and all the other great Devs who have been working on these phones.

As far as paying to much...can't help you there. Research is always your best friend.
[G1 General] Darrien13:
$125 that seems good
[G1 General] pjcforpres:
G1's in the US in perfect condition are about $200-$250 on ebay... I got mine a couple months ago for $190, and felt lucky at that price. Perfect condition, only 2 hours of talk time, guy got the phone to test for a magazine, used it for 2 weeks, then sold it. I did plenty of research and spend a month waiting for one in the right condition at the right price to come my way.

Anyone that thinks they only paid "$125" for it are ignoring the fact that was the 2yr contract price, the actual price of the phone new is more like $400.

If all it has is that one little scratch, it will go for up to $200 if unlocked and in an auction. If you do a buy it now posting, $150-$175 will sell quickly and is more than fair.
[G1 General] MasterCATZ:
I push them to $400 AUD ,,, if someone wants their rooted phone they can pay the price

I will buy them for $300 unlocked if I have someone wanting a phone rooted

they are $460 New

If someone Brings me their phone I will root for Free ...
[G1 General] OrganizedFellow:
Thanks for your valuable input on this.

If I should post it on ebay (most likely there than Craigslist), do you recommend I mention the technical details?

ie: it is rooted, has installed Cyanogen ROM 4.2.9.1 + RA-dream-v1.5.2 recovery

I know for sure I will definately take some high resolution pics of it to clearly show its fine condition.
[G1 General] tytech:
Yes, realize what you pay for.

When you say that you are paying someone on ebay or craigslist the same price what you can get one from Tmob for, you are not. You pay that price at Tmob because you are signing a contract. On ebay and craigslist you are just getting the phone. That's why you get these phones for so cheap from any cell carrier. Because you are signing a contract. If you buy the phone without the contract, you will pay $300 plus for the phone.

Some people buy online for different reasons. To root the phone or use on another network.

And lately, people are not going to want to pay that much for a phone they are going to experiment on anyway. You can get a good used mytouch for about $150. When I had my G1, I bought it a year ago from someone for $175. But, if yours is in decent condition, you should still get a good price for it though.

Is it possible to get xperia panels?

If yes; omg; how?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] cmstackar:
I have the X2 panels running on mine with touchflo, although some of them don't work.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=585722

There are the X2 panels + panel manager

There was a thing a while back with the original panels running on the blackstone, so it should work with the TD2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ohyeahar:
A couple of things to note:

1. This cab package includes only 36 manila files. 12 of them are for the small images on the slider. 12 of them are for the large image that appears when you tap and hold on a tab. 12 of them are for the small images that appear on the active tab.

2. The large images that appear when you tap and hold on a tab may look a little fuzzy because they were upscaled. But honestly, it's not that bad.

3. They were upscaled because of the calendar tab. The new calendar tab has the date. So it was impossible to fit the large numbers on the original smaller image. Also because of the date, I modded the calendar icon a bit. I removed the crease that was originally on the lower right corner.

4. This was tested on my unlocked European TP2 with HTC's official WinMo 6.5 ROM.

[HD2 General] ofuroinu:
Nice to meet all the bro & sisters here.

Sorry if this question been repeated, I searched but not find anything related to this.

I am TYTN II user switched to HD2 just 2 days ago.

I have noticed one button with end call button + switch off/standby.

Whenever I am on the call wanted to turn off the screen the phone went off after pressed the standby button, sometimes the screen automatically turn off but when the phone is shaking the screen turn back on in my pocket.

Tried locking the screen but no outcome.

Hope someone can help me out with solutions.

thanks & merry christmas to everyone.

Ken
[HD2 General] zenkinz:
Hd2 has a proximity sensor which will automatically turn off / dim the screen when you are in a call.
[HD2 General] ofuroinu:
Thank you for your reply.

Yes, but during walk the screen will keep turn off and on that will consume the battery life.
[HD2 General] Stephen Selby:
Also to the point, if the screen goes off during a call, how do I get it back on again (i.e. pressing the normal screen-on key ends the call:confused:)

Stephen
[HD2 General] Archer:
It only does this when you are in a call. At other times, when you lock the phone, the screen stays off till you press the end-call button again.

You put the phone to your ear, and the screen goes off instantly.

You move it away from your ear and the screen comes back on instantly.

If it's not working like that then there's an issue somewhere, as that's what it's supposed to do, and it works perfectly for me and many others.

Do you guys with the problem have screen protectors on? I do, but mine doesn't interfere with the proximity sensor. I know that some can though, as reported by other users in this forum.
[HD2 General] ofuroinu:
Sorry bros

My meaning is if using hand free kit & the phone kept in pant pocket, while moving on the road the phone sensor makes the screen goes on & off repeatly

didn't any one notice this point? Until I take out and hold it then stop blinking.

Hope it is clear now.

The sensor is just for phone when it is near the ear & away from the ear or on the table upside down.
[HD2 General] ofuroinu:
Please help me thank you
[HD2 General] DesmoSkier:
I use a hands free set a lot, and just put the phone in the sleeve while in a conversation.

The proximity sensor then keeps the screen turned off.
[HD2 General] Lord.Nibbler:
Hi ofuroinu, there are lots of solutions :

You can install S2U2.

In power settings it has an option "Blank Screen on Talk" which automatically shuts off the screen when the call begins.

Or you can also install AEButtonPlus and associate the long press of send button (or another one ... yet it is not working for all the buttons) with the Switch on / switch off Screen command (number 32 in the list) to do it manually at will with a long key press.

I suppose you can also have a look at mortscript to find a script that toggle the screen, then associate the script to a shortcut that you can put in the home tab shortcuts.

Cheers,

Nibbler.
[HD2 General] Jim Coleman:
Silly question, but if the phone is in your pocket, how on Earth do you know that the screen is turning on and off?
[HD2 General] ofuroinu:
THANK YOU TO ALL THE GOOD FRIENDS WHO HAVE REPLIED ME.

Maybe it is silly question to Jim Coleman, I am sorry.

I CAN SEE THE SOFT SCREEN LIGHT THRU MY PANT, BECOX IS QUITE THIN MATERIAL, AND OF COURSE ON THIS EARTH BROTHER.

ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU TO EVERYONE & MERRY CHRISTMAS & FRUITFUL NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thaddyusmaximus:
I had this phone for one week and the USB to Computer died. The computer no longer detects the USB device. The phone no longer displays USB mass storage or sync. Only Charging and headphones work. It's not the computer or cable because I have another touch pro 2 and it works fine. I've tried hard reset and pulled the battery for at least and hour and still no go. It worked the first 6 days since I've had it. I think the Tmobile 3rd party Car/Home Charger is the one that fried it. I let it charge overnight and noticed a message on the phone saying not enough power or something like that. For those who have the same charger, please do not use it to charge your phone at home. Use it for only emergencies in your car.

The bad news is I flashed the HardSPL. It still has the stock rom and radio.

Now my question is, should I take it to a Tmobile retail store and ask for an exchange? I originally purchased this through the phone with a Tmobile rep and had them ship the phone to me. I'm a Tmobile USA customer by the way. Or should I deal with 611 customer care. Or deal with HTC directly?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] isscccom:
Solution here:

Get another USB cable. It used to happen if the cable quality not good.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thaddyusmaximus:
I don't think it's the usb cable because the same cable works on the other tpro2. I've also tried the original cable from the other tpro2. Unless the OEM HTC cables are poor in quality.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thaddyusmaximus:
Is there a way to flash the stock hardspl using the minisd card?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ronh:
Have you looked at All Settings - Connection - USB to PC?

Disable the "Enable faster data synchronisation", most of the time this gives problems.

And at the bottom you can Enable "Ask me first..."

Sometimes this is disabled, and then it won't ask what to do.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] leeneo:
it was happened to me the same happening , at last i change a cable then it was fine

why not try to change a cable and another PC ?

sometimes phone , cable and pc maybe not fit for a magical reason....

good luck
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thaddyusmaximus:
Ok, I've tried three different cables and three different computers and still won't recognize the usb device. I looked at the original HTC Charger vs the Tmobile dual mode car/home charger and there is a difference in output. The HTC has 1 amp and the Tmobile charger says .6amps for car and .5amps for home. Both are 5volts.

So I took the phone to a Tmobile Retail Store and was denied exchange. They told me they cannot accept an exchange because they have to go through the way I bought the phone, which was a phone order with a Tmobile Customer Service Rep.

Gonna try calling 611 later tonight.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thaddyusmaximus:
Just got off the phone. They're shipping me a new one. No troubleshooting needed since it was within 14 days of purchasing.:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tobosoft:
Hello,

I have a little problem with the TouchFlo contacts list.

If I have opened a contact from the list and then go back to the list the list always goes to top.

Is there a way (Reg key or so) to have the scroll state before opening the contact ?

Often a contact is opened during scrolling, because the sensitivity to difference between scrolling and clicking is not so good on my TD2. If this I only can go back and must begin scroll from top again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
There is no fix for this.

You can try to adjust your pressure settings but you really just need to find that sweetspot between contacts that don't open them.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
Ok i figure ill throw this out there maybe some has a fix..

I was on 4.2.8 and everything was 200% when 4.2.8.1 was released i used CM Updater(latest) to update and i come to find that the gmail icon was gone fully gone wiped out.. i flip up the tray and it was gone from there too...so i did a wipe the flash 1.6adp then flashed cyanmod 4.2.8.1 and same issue the gmail icon was gone..

so i did a full wipe of everything from a-z(sarcasm) but did wipe every thing that could be wipe then re flash 1.6 then cyanmod over agian still the same issue.. so i unrooted and gmail app was back so then i rooted and update using recovery 1.4 cyan and gmail was there but i get acor forclose and blah blah...

so i wiped and did it again and still same issue so i used amon ra 1.5.2 recovery image wiped a-z again then flash 1.6 and cyan 4.2.8.1 and gmail was gone once again so i left it as is

and did partations sd

from there acore for close stop and was able to use market agian

then i downloaded astro manager and went thru the 1.6adp ota and i found gmail and installed! success it worked(odd) i install gmail app from astro file manager today

backdraw of this is thatgs this is install on my sd with partation so when i go to applications i have the option to uninstall gmail(shouldnt be a option)

so my question is.. anyone have a good idea whats happening or a fix to reflash with gmail there with out installing it to sd card..

or a way to push the gmail app to the phone from the sdcard..?

i kno that was long to read.. but just wanted to get all the steps i did so question or response will come say wipe and reflash when that proccess was done about 12 times(started at 8am and didnt finish{gave up} around 10)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
Found out it is my sd card its partation.. and each time i update it misses up the update.. i used a clean new sdcard (1g) and wiped 2x and then flash the 1.6adp then the new cMod and i got my gmail icon back(original) so this can be closed now.. thanks

I posted a question in FLipzs' 2.1 thread about how to remove the HTC lockscreen and Katmandu4responded with:

I did this and have the normal 2.1 lockscreen visible now but the problem I am having is that its is clear, i can see my homescreen underneath likke the "clear as a bell" lockscreen. anyone have any ie to get the blue back on?
[Hero CDMA General] 27s:
If you set a lockscreen wallpaper, it will place what ever you pick behind.
[Hero CDMA General] Orangeandblue302:

[Hero CDMA General] VoXHTC:
Same here. Without the "albums" being accessible I don't think we can change the lockscreen wallpaper.
[Hero CDMA General] Orangeandblue302:
VoX is yours clear as well?
[Hero CDMA General] 27s:
I forget where it is at, but there is a googlebits.zip or something like that floating around, with an albums in it, that works. On my 2.1 I can adjust wallapapers/locksceen. On an interesting note...I guess with the "rotate" lockscreen..it stays clear..I just found that out..whoops. I guess when I am done with the other 2.1 projects I am working on, I will take a look at porting the "rotate" part from ASOP. Then again, maybe someone with a bit more code experience will know how to unclear the background.
[Hero CDMA General] Orangeandblue302:
yea if we can unclear the background that would work because the lockscreen is functional, so i guess no reason to port.
[Hero CDMA General] kraminc:
Has anyone been able to add a back ground to the clear 2.1 lockscreen?

[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
when you try to select a lockscreen wallpaper by clicking Albums, do you get a com.htc.launcher FC?

thats what I got after messing around with it a little. anyone have googlebits with working albums?
[Hero CDMA General] Vrekk:
I'm in the same boat as you are, it I get a fc when I press Albums, but it still doesn't change when if you hit the Wallpaper gallery button, so idk if it the albums thing would work.

Unlike you I kinda like the clear wallpaper, I just don't like the clock on the lockscreen, it covers my HTC clock :(
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
Yeah that's my problem
[Hero CDMA General] kraminc:
Same boat here. Maybe we can remove the info on the lockscreen?
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
any progress here for anyone else...? I've been trying a lot, but nothing seems to work so far.

Has anyone been able to remove the htc bar for incoming calls also?

[neoTouch S200 General] :
Guys operating systems are not programs or simple cabs that you plug and play, yes the acer s200 and the liquid share almost the exact same hardware exept for the screens, but theres a BIG DIFRENCE the acer s200 has a win ce kernel and the liquid has a linux kernel, you can not swap kernels, the only way the acer s200 could run android is if someone compiles a linux kernel for it and then assemble drivers for android, its not as simply as you make it sound.

Sincerly

as for GPS, Camera we got a chance here as SnapDragon has Intergrated support

So a dump of Liquid OR the Source of Liquid (when It will be released) Will Help A LOT!

After all Android is FREE!
[neoTouch S200 General] :
Unless acer releases there Android kernel source we wont get any far, were gonna have to assemble drivers and stuff.
