It will void you warranty with Vodafone, but not with HTC.

Edited to add:

Actually just checked on the Voda site:

"Any updates done outside of the scope of Vodafone UK's officially approved software, or updates done with versions that are not approved by Vodafone (i.e. those not listed on our online updates page or by sending off directly through Vodafone for repair) will invalidate your Vodafone warranty (official releases direct from the manufacturer do not invalidate your warranty).

As such Vodafone will take no responsibility for the fault and warranty cover will not be provided. Vodafone are very careful when approving software versions to make sure they provide the most compatibility with our devices and most importantly our network.

If you're unsure which updates are approved by Vodafone, we recommend that you check with us prior to completing the update. If you choose to de-brand any Vodafone device, this again will automatically void your warranty cover"
[HD2 General] regtee2:
When I enter my S/N I get the message

"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."

I have an O2 HTC HD2 with 1.42.206.4 (70315) WWE.

Any ideas?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Updates on the HTC site are for unbranded HTC stock phones only.
[HD2 General] Starfury:
The devices are unbranded stock HTC devices. The ROM's on the devices from Vodafone (at least) have no customisation at all.

However HTC has assigned blocks of SN's to various operators and as such those SN's are automatically blocked from updating direct from HTC due to the normal operator/manufacture ROM upgrade agreements that allow the operator to control what updates its customers are allowed.

On a software level the upgrade thats on the HTC website will be identical to the one that the operator authorises but we are just having to wait for red tape.
[HD2 General] Kridek:
It's because your phone "mother tong" is not the same as the one from the new ROM. use a Gold Card (see on the stickies on this forum)
[HD2 General] mox123:
will i need a goldcard to get this on my o2 hd2 leo??
[HD2 General] Guitarfreak26:
Will installing a new rom erase all my reg tweaks?
[HD2 General] nadderf:
Yes it will
[HD2 General] Guitarfreak26:
Ah well wont take long to them again lol..

You know on the share thread it as a TUR rom which i guess is turkish.. will it still function like my english rom when i change the language or w.e?
[HD2 General] charliebarter:
Since vodafone are apparently not selling this device anymore will they release the firmware update?
[HD2 General] charliebarter:
Still not sure what this means exactly

As it is an "official releases direct from the manufacturer" can I download it and put it on even without voiding my warranty?

I can't actually do this because by S/N is a vodafone S/N which are blacklisted by HTC at the moment.
[HD2 General] jakem:
You'd be debranding your phone if you applied this update. According to the last sentence in Isadora's quote that will void your warranty.

Customers such as yourself are in a difficult situation though because Vodafone aren't likely to provide much support for this phone now that they've stopped selling it. Having said that, in my experience most phone companies are pretty hopeless when it comes to releasing firmware updates regardless of whether the phone is "important" to them or not. I'd give up on waiting for official updates if I were you and just debrand.
[HD2 General] charliebarter:
Thanks, do i still get any HTC warranty?
[HD2 General] Isadora:
I have to say that the wording on Voda's site is a bit confusing (what a surprise...:rolleyes: ) as they seem to imply that manufactuers updates are ok "official releases direct from the manufacturer do not invalidate your warranty" but not debranding "If you choose to de-brand any Vodafone device, this again will automatically void your warranty cover" so do they mean only cooked roms will void the warranty? In any case as you've rightly pointly out, their support of the HD2 is probably going to be minimal now and I, for one, will happily flash away :)
[HD2 General] Isadora:
Yes as long as you have an official HTC ROM on the phone. However even if you've got a cooked one from here (when they're available!) and say you need to get HTC to repair your phone, just re-flash an official one on before sending it to them and you should be ok ;)
[HD2 General] mhmobile:
I know flashing the ROM will erase every modification I've made to my device over the past few weeks but was wondering if I backed up my device with SPB will I be able to restore to the newer ROM version?
[HD2 General] young blade:
if you restore using backup... you might undo some of the fixes...
[HD2 General] charliebarter:
Just a quick question as I'm essentially a noob with flashing ROMs

When I tried to install 1.48 I go the invalid vendor ID error, do I just need to unlock the phone using instructions I should be able to find on this website?
[HD2 General] alan1467:
I've spoken to Vodafone Uk and they say if I change my phone in any way via a ROM upgrade they will not support or cover my phone with any form of warranty etc, they also said that they had no idea if they would be fixing the problem via their web site. Since then I have spoken to custmer sefvices and they are swapping my phone to a Blackberry Storm 2 and did not even argue that I was over the 28 days so that says something!!!!!!
[HD2 General] charliebarter:
Never mind, I found I need to use the gold card method by searching xda.
[HD2 General] de_la_soul:
flashing rom

so hello at all,

i´m a newbie in flashing roms....

so can anybody tell me what will happen if i´m flashing my branded phone with an original rom?

thnx for information
[HD2 General] teffers:
+1 - got an o2 branded HD2 and would like to know theimplications too.
[HD2 General] waynepyrah:
Flashed my O2 version at weekend...

Ran the HARDSPL first then rebooted then installled the new rom using a serial I found on here to download it...

When the phone first starts up you need to hardreset it (hold down vol down whilst turning on) and then the setup runs, it hides in the background though so you need to go into the today menu and untick sense (temporarily) to see it

Then run through setup - basically tick O2 then tick yes or skip through screens

reboot and then tick sense back in today screen

Seems faster and sms works fine

Not sure where you stand warranty wise... suppose you could revert back if needed :-)
[HD2 General] teffers:
Thanks Wayne - I really appreciate the walkthrough and the confirmation it went ok for you.

Looks like I'll give it a try after a bit more reading.

Cheers :cool:

Hello! Xda-viewers,

I had a question about Coreplayer,

maybe usefull for other music players as well.

When I want to listen to music and put my HD2 in my pocket,

I can't put off the screen because the music will stop.

I enabled the screen off in 5minutes, so when I put my phone,

in my pocket with screen on, after 5 minutes it puts off the screen,

and by this also the music.

Is there any app or mod to let the music play even with screen off.

For example, the Media player standard on the HD2, keeps on playing,

even with the screen turned off.

With my HTC P3600 I also used Coreplayer and could use the blank screen

futur in Coreplayer to put off the screen with sound still on. But this function,

doesn't work that well with the HD2.

thanks and greetings,

SOLUTION: Post 7-8

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] koleno:
Hi,

the same problem with nitrogen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] carlosmozas:
same here, with coreplayer :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Prime_Directive:
Well...

My investigations...

So I found this with Coreplayer: If I press the power button to turn off the screen it will do as you said Coreplayer just stops, I think this is power saving mode.

However I have the screen off delay on default (I never changed the setting) which is about 1min and found that if I left the device to turn the screen off itself Coreplayer would just carry on. So rather than pressing the power button I leave it to turn itself off which means my music keeps playing.

Now from your first post I see that your having the issue when it turns itself off as well so could this be something to do with changing the delay, maybe trying the default 1min for power off and 30secs for backlight dim might help. Maybe someone else with the default settings could confirm this. Or maybe I'm just one lucky man ;)

Cheers,

Prime
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] samtheman11:
when coreplayer is on and playing music etc just press the windows key and then tap on 'lock'. you can leave the phone like this or press power button for blank screen. coreplayer or any other media player will continue to play.

hope this helps
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] timodc:
will try

I'll try these solutions, if one works I'll post back,

if not, maybe there is somebody that can rip something from

the windows media player app, this one works just fine with

the screen turned of in any way

thanks!

Timo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Gandalf67:
Try this. I hope this will resolve Your problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] timodc:
Solutions

I tried the folowing:

-Normal way, press On/Off button to lock and put off screen while Coreplayer is playing

Music stops playing

-Settings: Light 10sec time-out, device 1min time-out. While Coreplayer is playing, I let the device time-out by itself. It also locks itself.

Music keeps on playing, works!!

-With Coreplayer on, goto start-menu, press LOCK (down-left in the screen). After this, the device time-out, it also locks itself.

Music keeps on playing, works!!

-Used the CAB 'BlackMe'. Installed, when runned it turns off the screen, also auto locks.

Music keeps on playing, works!!

So many solutions, THANKS!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] s.kralemann:
Hi!

I am not sure why you are spending so much effort. Just use the "blank screen" feature of the coreplayer! ;)

In version 1.2.5 (build 4506) you will find it under "Menu -> Options -> Blank Screen". This switches off the screen and disables the keys.

Bye,

Basti
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] timodc:
Coreplayer Blank screen

As I said in the top of the conversation,

I used the 'Blank screen' option from Coreplayer,

menu -> option -> Blank screen,

when I had my P3600 it worked fine, with my HD2

when I active this the screen go's blank, good,

but after a second the screen goes back on, in lock mode, not good

Timo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cret:
I got the same problem too.

Does this cab file mean that you can now use the power button and it carries on playing, or does it mean you have to muck about with things still before turning the power 'off'?

I'll probably try it anyway and thanks for providing it but this is a real pain for me after having Coreplayer working just right on the Touch HD.

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] timodc:
CAB solution

The CAB will not change the fact that the sound goes off with the power on/off button. So yes, you have to start up coreplayer, put on you're music and then run the program installed by the CAB.

Timo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cret:
Thanks for clarifying. :)

Hmmm, I appreciate the trouble someone's gone to to provide this cab and am grateful for the effort but if I'm not mistaken, I'd guess it's less messing about just to let the screen time out by itself?

Sorry if that sounds ungrateful or critical - it's not meant to!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] timodc:
I slighty disagree, when I want to put on some music fast, I startup coreplayer, start the music, press homescreen button and press the black_screen in my quick menu. So it's a personal thing, wait.... or quick black screen :D. Also when you want you're time-out on say 10min or longer, the black_screen app is also a handy tool to quickly put off the screen with music on.:)

And it didn't sound critical, it's a forum, so no hard feelings ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cret:
No worries mate. It was a guess really or assumption since I've not actually tried the cab.

Good points and well made. :)

anyone know recommendations about swap sizes? like what size is good for what kind of use? I can go from there

Edit: I meant swappiness
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grooby97:
personally I find higher swappiness is better.

currently running CM 4.2.8.1 w/ 132MB swap partition + 10MB CC mem_limit and swappiness of 100. Runs great.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdbjoe:
On Linux env I remember (coudl be wrong) swap should be 1/4 your ram, dunno if being more it's worse. So 64k should be enough.

Personally I've found 96k swap and swappines 40 the right balance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phuKKah:
Weird, because on Windows it's supposed to be 1.5-2 times your RAM o.0
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
could you please explain what linux-swap is and these terms swippiness and swap
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
Chances are that if you don't know about it, then you don't need it

However, it is just a partition on your sdcard that the phone uses for memory. This is mostly used on hero roms where the phone doesn't have enough memory to have all of its functions on at once. Swappiness is the percent that the system uses that partition as memory (i.e. If swappiness is at 80 then it will use the partition 80% of the time and phone memory 20% of the time

hey all,

i am thinking of purchasing a samsung jack i637 smartphone running 6.1 standard. i am wondering if it would be possible to configure the device such that it will automatically update weather, rss feeds, podcasts from standby @ a scheduled time every morning from a wifi connection? and after the update is done wifi will disconnect and device will return back to standby.

i currently don't have a data plan but my wifi at home is always on. does anyone have a similar setup?

i've tried researching a bit.. and i have seen wm programs that can turn on wifi on a schedule. i've also seen some weather and rss programs have a setting for auto-update.. however i am unsure if it works for cellular radio independent wifi connection. i've also seen something with mortscripts, however that sounds quite complicated.

any comments would be greatly appreciated. perhaps is this possible on the nokia symbian devices?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] whitealien:
hi,

I would like to know how often you recharge your Hero?

With moderate to low usage I'm recharging every day and I'm thinking that autonomie on my Hero is really very bad. Before I used Polaris and I had to recharge every 2 or 3 days.

I'm thinking that maybe my phone have manufacture default. On official web page they say that autonomy on standby is 440 hours, its like 15 days, mine keeps barely 1 day, wtf!!!

Even during night when I don't use it all and put on plane mode battery loses 20%.

whitealien
[Hero, G2 Touch General] myke66:
i recharge everyday with mild usage. gaming - usually keep it plugged in.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chaos42:
with moderate usage i recharge my GSM Hero every 2-3 days. by moderate i mean, like 1h Wifi, 2h mp3, 0.5h phone usage, 1.5h online activity over 3G.

Thats about it. And even if i multiply the usage above by two, it will last two days.

During flightmode inthe night, it loses about 5-10%.

so it seems something is sucking really bad on your battery!

Cheers,

Chaos42
[Hero, G2 Touch General] woolef:
I would say I charge mine every 2-3 days. I'm a relatively low user but wifi is on all of the time and I use it for browsing a bit in the evenings when I don't have my PC turned on. GPS, mobile web and bluetooth is off for the most part.

My wife has the same phone and her battery life is a little shorter than mine but she has the mobile web on and uses hers a bit more then me so I would guess around 1.5-2 days.

My battery is rated at 1350mAh which I think is standard.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sku11y:
I have to charge it every day.

Unplug it from charger at 0700 and by 2200 it has less than 10% battery.

But I have WiFi on for over twelve hours a day, mobile web on and quite a few things updating online!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mobile.dev:
Background apps may be draining your battery

Hi whitealian,

Check the application list to see which applications are running in the background. One of them may be draining your power.

You can check the task list using Estrongs File Explorer (start the app, then menu->Task Manager). There are plenty of other task managers, of course...

In my case, I think it was ShopSavvy :confused: that was running in the BG. Once I removed it the battery performance was much better. See this post.

You can also use one of the apps that turn on/off wifi based on location. A quick market search finds "Y5 - Battery Saver". Haven't tried it myself yet!

Good luck!
