I have not tested the following in a very detailed way but I think it worth while trying it:

Even so I have used the power saving tweak from BsB Tweak I found in sk Tools in tuneup that all Power Saving features are switched off.

So I switched On all Power saving features in sk Tools and I have the feeling that the battery usage is less now.

For example:

From midnight full 100% charge till 8am in the morning I had 89% left which is a little bit more than 1% loss per hour and this is not bad.

But with the new Radio 2.06 I have the feeling that battery power is getting more drained during a talk or during interent connection.

On the other side the reception is quite good and I have also the feeling that data connection is better - receiving data faster after a connection is established.

Again: This are all "soft" fatcs I have not done a sientific evaluation

I have a San Disk 16GByte Class 6 storage card.

Best regards,

dingolino

Hi, are you sure that your micro sd is a sandisk class 6? cuz I've never found Sandisk has released a class 6 16GB microcard..thats why I had to buy the A-data one.

The only software I have installed in the storge card is a GPS software IGO8.

This battery issue is driving me crazy, I begin to miss my HTC HD(original 1.43 ROM) which drops only 2%(My hd2 loses about 40% power) every night, even I always have kept my data connection on.

Hello everybody!

A couple of days before i've bought HD2 (russian, 1.48 FW is flashed by default). Before buying i've tested it for mentioned here bugs with display - none has been found.

Device is really fast, much faster then my Samsung i900. The only one problem is present - bad co-work with bluetooth handsfree Jabra BT530. This has been tested with i900, K750i, iPhone - everything was OK. HD2 has really big problem with it - on any sound event small part in start is missing, it seems BT is connecting with handsfree and this time is skipped.

Using navigation soft is unreal in this case: we can hear just "....eft", "....meters" and so on. But if pause between sound events is smaller than ~5 sec no skipping occurs. Tried to play with WIDCOMM registry tree - no effect, modifying values without right manual is like a "russian roulete".

So, do we have any fix for this bug?

P.S. Sorry for my english.
[HD2 General] mad_zerling:
I've just received answer from HTC. They say (translated):

HTC HD2 hasnt been tested to work with JABRA BT530, so we cant say that phone isn't functioning wrong. Use original HTC hansfree.

This is support for top device with price more than 1000$!!!

It seems this is a good place to say this, at Home only wired for ATT, TMO says we can't help you unless you have High-speed set up already. ATT wants me to get the 9700 at half off (rebate) TMO says $199 (no rebate).

OK the heck w/that, Feb. the HD2 (TMO), now the NEXUS One (TMO), which it doesn't seem to matter since my PC doesn't seem to work anymore (ATT).

'Yes this is a rock & a hard place'. In no way am I able to give everybody money (no raise for 2 years), so regardless I've been following the Leo for jeesh how long now it's seeming that I might as well just give up on all this simply because "you don't get what you want you only get what you need". And if I can't get my PC & my phone what's the sense of getting anything at all.

May the Sun shine on you.

dear all,

i have a network connection probşem with my htc hd2 leo.

details:

*i live in romania but orginally i from turkey

*i have turkish simcard- TURKCELL

*i have romanian simcard-COSMOTE

*when i am in romania my both two sim cards are working perfectly sure TURKCELL is romaning :)

*but when i came to turkey and insert my TURKCELL simcard my phone didnt connect to network and i have tried other turkish gsm brands' simcards but results were same.

*when i insert my COSMOTE simcard into my leo it was working perfectly in Turkey as roaming.

*phone recognize simcard all contacts and everthing on simcard but does not connect to network.

question;

what may cause this and what should i do?

i am using WWE and 1.48 rom.

thanks in advance !
[HD2 General] Archer:
I was under the impression that you needed to register a phone in Turkey, in order to use Turkish networks. That would explain why you can use it as if roaming, on a non-Turkish SIM, but not on a turkish SIM.

Have a look at this...

Is there any free online task (to-do) list that can sync with the tasks in pocket outlook?

I have a few criteria:

1) It can't be through Outlook - I don't have it and don't want to pay for it

2) I don't want to use MyPhone - It would be fine if most of the fields weren't missing with the online interface

3) It has to be free :) Otherwise I'd just use RTM or Toodledo/Nuevasync

4) It has to sync with pocket outlook - I don't want to use a 3rd party task app

Please? Anybody? There are so many ways to sync either calendar or contacts but none for tasks! I've been looking for so long!

I used to use mail2web but they became not-free...

Have you tried funambol? I've lost track with the current status, but it's the open source tool for synchronising calendars and address books of various flavours, as well as providing push email - over the air to all supported phones. I've never used it for tasks, but it may also sync them (there is certainly an option to sync tasks in the funambol client on my phone). You would need to look into it for yourself.
[General Topics] charge1313:
Their system is weird. It lets you sync for free for 60 days and from then on you can get more time if you 'help funambol' (post about it, help bugfix it etc...)

Thanks for reminding me about funambol in any case - Will look into it.

Any other ideas? Anyone? I can't possibly be the only person in this position!
[General Topics] deedee:
Here's one that seems to be permanently free and not only gives you OTA live synch of Tasks it does Calendar and push mail as well. Oh, it can also be used with an existing OTA Exchange account.

Lotus Greenhouse Traveler, you will need to register and then download their Traveler client, but after that its a case of let it get on with it.
[General Topics] charge1313:
Interesting. I never thought of free hosted lotuslive solutions - though I was actively looking for free exchange ones. Will look into this... thanks :)

Just a joke to start the day.

I am not certain your exact needs, but I want to put two things in front of you, in case you are not familiar with:

(1) OGGsync -- which i don't think is exactly what you want but take a look. It enables you to sync from Windows desktop Outlook to Gmail to windows mobile. It may sound like a weird system, but it has eliminated all that active sync crap. Still, it may not do what you want. And it's a small purchase of $30, i think annually... But it cuts through all the myriad of problems of Active sync cables etc.

SEE SIMPLE OVERVIEW HERE: http://oggsync.com/

SEE REVIEW from WMexperts here: http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/ogg_sync_for_windows_mobile.html

(2) ZOHO: This is just around the corner, but I think it's going to be one of the best solutions; I;m not sure of parts of it are there now or not.

Everyone knows of the "Google Cloud" suite of web apps: Gmail, Calendar, Documents, Spreadsheets, and so on. But surprisingly few people know about ZOHO -- a web-based business suite of apps competitor who many reviewers over the past few years have said is superior to Google, product after product. And Zoho has so many more apps it's hard to believe how "unknown" they are, like great project management software, one of the best wiki software designs EVER, made for non-techie people... etc. If I recall, I think individual usage of all of Zoho's web apps is free.

HERE, from the ZOHO Business Suit forums, is the status of their sync system for Windows Mobile: http://forums.zoho.com/topic/mobile-sync

And a brief review, but tons of them if you want to explore further.

Lol... I love WM. But its so annoying to see so many companies and web services making great iphone and android apps while completely ignoring windows mobile. :(

Thanks!

I've all ready looked at goosync. If I had to pay I'd much rather go for toodledo + nuevasync or RTM. They're both around $25 a month.

I'm fairly familiar with zoho, actually. I've had an account almost since they opened shop and they actually sponsored a competition at my old college (I did my undergrad in india, which is where I am from).

They haven't implemented their sync system yet.. so I am still holding out... but I will probably shift when they get it all working.

For now I am looking at the lotuslive solution posted above - It looks promising.

I only wish myphone had a better interface - more ajax and a greater emphasis on content management rather than just backup (integration with windows live wouldn't hurt either...)

Thanks anyways.

I'm sure someone will find all this very useful...
[General Topics] charge1313:
^^ Lol. I can't help but laugh. I empathise with you so much!

You know what? Personally, I don't like the whole finger-friendly thing. I want speed and capability and information density. I don't care how easy it is to get from A to Z - I want to get there fast and effectively even if the learning curve is steep. Which is why I thought that the pinacle of windows mobile was the Axim X51 - It was fast and powerful and had features that outclass many of today's handsets.

6.5 was a let down - it actually killed functionality while giving me nothing. Titanium is the best example of this - Its nice to look at but it the end, it has less info per screen than the old home, takes longer to work with and is MUCH less configurable.

My current windows phone is a samsung jack. Its windows mobile standard. And IMO its the best mobile OS out there now. Except for one single thing - the lack of damn apps.

You'd think there would be thousands of apps considering the number of blackjacks out there but nooooo...

Windows mobile is the (Or should have been) the no-nonsense OS. It should be crazy configurable if you want it to be but just extremly usable if you're not into all that - a system that syncs with anything, works with every service and is in general the best PDA man has yet conceived. Sadly it isn't there any more..

lol.. its ok. I've gone on my own WM rants all too often. I know exactly where you are coming from.

Google sync doesn't support tasks. Otherwise I'd use it. I use soocial for my contacts, gcal (through nuevasync) for my calendar and now I guess lotus for my tasks - remarkably inelegant but I guess I have little choice.

I am uncomfortable with having all my stuff in the cloud -I firmly believe that cloud services can only complement local services.. something like the office live solution. Tasks and calendar are something else - mostly because my choices are so limited

Lol. Thanks. And absolutely zero hard feelings...
[General Topics] quicksite:
I learned a lot from you on this thread, though i didn't help you at all :)

I hear you re information per screen, information density

Okay, i admit that mny T-mobile wing running WM 6.1 with custom rom from Ivan here at XDA just kicked ass, and still does. Funny but it has better version of google maps than google maps on my hero android phone.. i surely don't get that.

For me, having that stylus tucked in, avail at moment's need, AND using finger nav is best of all worlds. in the car, with my t-mobile wing mounted, i could actually safely make a call... but without finger nav, i'd crash and kill self with just a stylus and tiny target. so we'll agree that it all boils down to: what are your purposes for the device... all of them. in all conditions...

only then are comparisons valid. if any phone meets all a user's needs, then it's the best phone period for that person.

thanks again,

so i guess you won't be getting the Nexus Two any time soon, huh?
[General Topics] charge1313:
My old gene had a D-Pad. And WM 6.1 was VERY D-Pad friendly. If I ever needed to use the phone one-handed I just used to use the D-Pad and the softkeys.

The modern WM phones lack this too (hence my statement of only WM standard rocking now)

,

Very true. In the end, I want my phone to help me get things done, not as an entertainment device or anything else. Hence my statement about WM standard rocking. Copilot live, for example, has a great interface - its actually faster than using a touchscreen and needs less involvement.

I'm a student in the US without and aid. Hence no. Not a chance in hell unless I get a ton of cash.

I suspect my next phone will be WM7 (my Jack's contract is only a few months old).. leaves plenty of time for WM 7 to release and for a decent app market to develop.

I hope.

Or else I'll go for whichever android device I can find (I need multitasking - this basically kills the Iphone)

I wish the mods could SPLIT this thread - to preserve the "future of WM"

The off-topic discussion here was prob of more use than the initial intent by charge1313. And even though there have been many many MANY threads on WM's survivability as a player platform, this discussion moved to hardware as well, and to the trend of more and more elimination of hardware buttons placed strategically around the device's to enable your fingers to control many things besides the screen.

just my opinion ... but I have many of them .. so i am sure the world is fine without a split thread :)
[General Topics] charge1313:
The same can be said of my gene. With a custom 6.1 rom (for here, of course) it was the fastest smartphone anyone I knew had. Despite having a lousey 200mghz processor and next to no ram. Of course, thats also because I ran it overclocked to 247 Mghz.

It had a ton of configurable keys - most of them configured to do a whole series of context based events via mortscript.

Neat. Did you use mortscript?

Exactly like my gene. Except there I had it mapped to a task manager.

Boy, did they know how to build phones back in the day.

I've used both - several of my favorite roms actually came with WKtask by default. But in the end I found that simply using the default 6.1 task manager was the lightest and the best.

Still, I've jumped back and forth between using WKtask, Quickmenu etc enough times to know how awesome they were.

And this, again, brings me back to why my jack rocks. I can open up a site or an app from the home screen and actually do something useful (like, say, check my tasks on agenda one) faster than an android device (htc dream) or an ipod touch/iphone.

I second that. HTC's design was brilliant. And so was Samsung's with the blackjacks and the jack. IMO the current crop of WM devices are a result of misguided logic. Microsoft and HTC have looked at the success of the iphone and created a hybrid system which lacks the strengths of either. Thats their failing - trying to do something they were never good while ignoring their awesome lead in actual productivity and flexibility.

Seriously, take a dell axim and see how well you can do stuff with it. I bet if microsoft had put their efforts into making WM 7 the natural progression of the WM series (exclude 6.5 please) it would be out by now and a device like the touch pro would completely kick the iphone in terms of general usage.

I won't argue against this. The original intent of this thread has largely been satisfied.

I've found an exchange class solution for my needs

If the mods think its sensible to split this thread then please do so..

Sprint HTC Hero (Non-Google Branded)

Fresh Rom 1.0 with De-Fresh and Nexus One Boot screen

Recovery 1.5.2

16GB SD Card

So this is what i know.

1) I already know that Fresh 1.0 has A2SD support built within it.

2) I know to go to Recovery and use the format SD (I used these settings)

Swap:516, Ext3:516, Fat32: Rest ammount

3) Did this once before and it seemed that all my apps were on SD card (when i took it out and reboot, all my apps were gone. When i put it back in then reboot they all back on phone)

What i need to know.

1) How do i choose which apps/games to transfer over to SD card.

2) Where are they on my SD card? (Could not see it when i checked the SD card)

3) When you do this are all of the apps off of the phone memory? or are the apps still able to stay on phone.

What i essentially want to do.

1) i just want to be able to easily use A2SD to backup and easily transfer my apps/games back and fourth if i need to.

Any usable help would be greatly appreciated ^^ thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcdroid:
If someone has better info please correct me if I'm wrong

1. When you install a ROM with apps2sd, as long as you have your SD card formated properly everything except for stock roms are transfered. If they were not, uninstall and install in the market and should go to SD card.

2. On fresh rom I noticed (atleast for me) that the app and app-private folders were in /system/sd/

3. All of your downloaded apps will be on your SD card. Stock apps (sprint apps and what came with the phone etc.) will still be on the phone's memory.

I use ES File Explorer and just copy the app and app-private folders when i want to backup all my downloaded apps. Pretty easy app to use and supports root.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] posguy99:
You don't. If it's in /data, it gets moved. This means that applications that come with the phone, which are in /system, do not get moved. The symlink solution means that you cannot easily choose applications to leave on the phone.

Correct. They are on the EXT partition you created, oddly enough just like the documentation says. You cannot see this partition. If you are so inclined, you can adb into the phone and see it mounted on /system/sd.

Applications shipped with the phone stay on the phone. Data directories created by downloaded applications stay on the phone. You will still see space on the phone being used.

A2SD has nothing to do with a backup solution and is not necessary for you to back anything up. Pick one of the umpteen backup applications available in the Market and go to town.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darwelf:
Hi guys,

In the last couple of weeks I noticed my data traffic increased hugely (it used to be around 10MB for a week or so) up to the limit where my phone provider (Vodafone) told me I had reached the limit for my contract (500MB in 7 days). I did some research and it seems that the responsible process is android.process.media, which downloads i don't know what i don't know where at crazy speeds, some megabits per seconds, then stops, and then does it again after some hours.

I really have no clue what this process is doing, and why, since I don't remember changing anything since the time when this problem was not occurring. Any clue? This is really annoying because for the moment I have had to switch off 3G connectivity completely.

BY THE WAY: I don't know if this could be related, but a couple of days ago I was driving in my car and turned to google maps to get my location. Latitude was active and it kept saying that I was in China (!?!?), then as soon as my GPS receiver fixed the signal my location changed to the correct one, and then again back to China etc. For a while I thought that my google account could have been hijacked, but:

1) is it really possible for android malicious apps to steal your google account password?

2) that did not happen again, it just stopped after 10 minutes or so

3) I changed my password just to be sure, but now I am really wondering what malicious apps can do in Android...

I am running the basic nk02 rooted version of the original 1.6 Donut from HTC.

Thanks for your help,

Andrea

[General Questions and Answers] p0peye:
Hi all,

I am learning how to back up my registry settings (using SASHIMI - thanks bengalih), and I have a few quick questions that I suppose can be posted in one of many post regarding SASHIMI, but I decided to ask a question here because it is not srictly connected to SASHIMI, and more people can find this info usefull.

The background problem:

I am trying to back up my favorite Contactx Order in favpeople Manila tab. I found th place in the registy where the data is stored:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\People\FavoriteOrder]

There, for one of the people the data stored is:

"0"=dword:8000003E

(in HEXadecimal , or 2147483710 in Decimal values).

I have checked if the same reg value is always added to the same person (last call person in registry - for example) , and the answer is positive.

The Questions:

- is it possible to find out what is the connection between persons and assigned numbers (other then to change the settings, and then look in the registry for assigned DATA value to specific registry key)?

- I took the favpeople as an example, but the different types of Reg Keys has for DATA values (Programs, different settings...) - What about them?

and even more important:

- will the same numbers be assigned to the same people after:

- Performing hard reset (I assume they will be)

- Changing the ROM (again - I assume they will be)

- on the other WM device (I know that there are small differences in registry settings among diff. devices, but once that person find out that different registry location - can he use the data backed up from previous device or must he start drilling trough registry settings from start)?

Thank you in advance for the answer,

Cheers,

Nenad

p.s. - some programs use reasonable words and terms for registry DATA value, and that puts the smile on my face as everything is transparent and clear. Others, unforunately, adds this "crypted" data and I get frustrated when I want to insulate data that should be stored as the back up... :mad:
