[General Accessories] Snarksneeze:
Man, I hate starting new threads! I did a simple search and couldn't find this problem anywhere else, so here goes:

Earlier in 2009 I bought an extended 2400mAh battery for my Kaiser (8925). Everything is working just fine, except that I noticed that the phone doesn't seem to notice that the battery life is much better for this new battery.

What I mean is: after a few hours of usage, the battery level drops at a normal rate.

Once the phone tells me the battery is almost dead (and sometimes the phone will shut off if I ignore this), I can shut down the phone, remove the battery, wait a few seconds and then replace it and boot back up the phone.

At this point, the phone will usually tell me that the battery is at 33% to 36% charged. Notice that I did not charge the battery, I just removed it and put it back in.

When I first got the battery, I cycled it completely three times in the phone, removing it twice and replacing it to ensure that the battery was completely drained before charging it to 100%. (Yes, I know that is only recommended for metal-hydrates, but I feel better doing that anyway).

On the top-end, it usually takes about two hours to charge the phone from 30% to 99% via a standard USB2.0 connector.

However, the phone will report that the battery is not fully charged for nearly an hour after reaching 99%.

I know what you are probably thinking; Why is this guy complaining about his battery performing better than his phone reports?

Well, it IS kind of annoying. I would like the phone to properly report the remaining percentage for my own benefit. I really hate having to guess at how much time I have left before I need to drop it off at a computer or wall outlet while I find something else to play with for three or four hours.

So... Does anyone know how I can convince my phone that the battery is pretty awesome and to start reporting the actual battery life?

Has anyone got working Apn Settings for t-mobile g1 users without a data plan, but with an unlimited mms/sms plan?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
you don't have to change your apn settings for sms. However, mms is no longer available for G1's by changing the apn settings. T-Mobile caught wind and fixed that.

i installed BsB tweats on my HD2 with Rom version 1.48.832.1 (71294)CHT. however, when i press the icon it pops up with an error message where it says (missingmethodexception) could anyone please help?

Notes: my phone is in Chinese, could that be the reason?
[HD2 General] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
I'm not very familiar with the program (haven't used it), but it's possible that it won't work for a Chinese language ROM. But, it could simply be that you might need .net 3.5 installed.
[HD2 General] terrancewonga:
i am sorry mate...i am kind of retarded on this kind of things, can you tell me what exactly is .net 3.5? i have a feeling this is probably the reason.
[HD2 General] gdayhtc:
This is a must to your device prior to installing many programs andyou can get it here....

13. Install Compact Net Framework 3.5 to Make Old Apps Work Again

Some apps you may have used on another phone will not work on the Leo unless you install Compact Net Framework to your phone. Download the cab from the following link and install to Device only - not Storage Card and then reset. http://justpctech.com/PPC/NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab Also make sure your phone is using the 3.5 as default and not 2.0. Go here: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework. Change the DWORD data of entry 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0. Next Change the DWORD data of entry 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 and then reset. This disables 2.0 and enables 3.5. Also some apps need the file NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm. Here is the link to download the file: http://www.mediafire.com/?ommgm3gz13z Install the NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab to device after you installed NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab and reset.
[HD2 General] terrancewonga:
you know when it saids 'go here: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework' where exactly is it? is it the window folder in the device?
[HD2 General] terrancewonga:
and also, when it said change the DWORD data from 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0, does it mean change the whole thing to 1 or some numbers ie: 2.0.7045.01? i would be very appreciate it if you could educate me.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Follow these instructions, it will be easier for you:

Install Task Facade and, if necessary, map it to the PTT button with the Rhodium Key remapper (only needed if you're not on the stock ROM). It won't be exactly the same, but it's close.

Dear all,

I am pleased to share with you my CAB and XML provisioning files to automatically configure your device for the belgian mobile operator BASE.

I created three different CABs :

- Base GPRS + HTC MMS : should be used for devices which are using the HTC Messaging application for the MMS (ie. HD2, TP2 ROM V2,...)

- Base GPRS + ArcSoft MMS : should be used for devices which are using the "ArcSoft" plugin for the MMS (ie. TP2 TOM V1, Touch HD,...).

- Base GPRS : includes the connection settings only. You may have to configure your MMS server and gateway manually.

Enjoy !

Laurent

[Hero, G2 Touch General] huaicin:
hi,

i wanna ask why my hero always stay on EDGE? is there some app that will force it to stay on HSDPA / 3G? thx..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
It probably stays on Edge because that's the strongest available signal. However, you can force 3G/HSDPA.

You need to use AnyCut to create a shortcut to the activity "Phone Info". Once this is done,if you run this app and scroll down you should see "Set preferred network type" which is usually set to "WCDMA preferred" - if you set this to "WCDMA only", you force 3G.

Regards,

Dave

Mobile Network stay on EDGE

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Dave,

I know this is an old thread. I have a G2X running cm7 RC1 and was wondering the same thing about mobile network staying on EDGE. I actually did this and it worked, now I'm forcing it to stay on 3G. I wanna ask a dumb question...and idk if you would know but would I get charge a fee of something for doing this.. and also since I'm on T-mobile wouldn't it be GSM only instead of WCDMA..

Thanks..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] k0zmic:
You shouldn't do, so long as you have an internet allowance.

And WCDMA is kind of similar to GSM from it's Wiki page.

Im running Mighty Rom 12/6 build and i've been trying to stream video/audio. When i click on either the HTC Streaming media player loads up and it plays like 1min with buffering stops every 5 seconds almost and then it stops saying the server disconnected me from the stream or the bandwith is not enough.

is this a issue with Verizon stopping my streams? my settings within the Streaming Media Player? or something else?

I have a friend who has the touch pro 2 with US Cellular and we both tried a video and it played through within 3-5 seconds right away on his phone, but on my touch pro 2 it buffered for nearly a minute then played for 5 seconds buffered played for 5 more seconds and buffered til about a minute and then stopped playing sayiing either the server disconnected me or the bandwith is not enough, or saying Server or data time out; tap play to reconnect
[General Questions and Answers] HarryK:
I am somewhat behind the times with my hardware, but it works for me. I have an HP Hx2490b, flashed to some (possibly cooked) version of WM6.1 (I really don't recall the details). I run and love CryptoCard, an old but very convenient password tool. The developer, a chap named PMMAX, used to be very supportive but has fallen off the radar.

My problem is I've noticed an anomaly in how CryptoCard works. I know it USED to work right, but I have no idea how long it has been this way (the problem is that it should "lock" after a time-out or after a power off/on cycle. It doesn't. I have to manually kill the application (easy enough with WisBar, but not the right answer)).

I'm trying to figure out why it no longer works. I have NET CF 1.0 SP3 and 2.0 SP2 installed. The software states it requires .NET CF 1.0 SP2. While SP3 should work fine, I want to rule out any problems with changes between SP2 and SP3. I have scoured the 'net, and all links to CF 1.0 SP2 point to Microsoft, who only has SP3 available.

Does anyone still have a copy of the install for .NET CF 1.0 SP2 hanging around?

Thanks,

Harry

I just got my hands on a HD2 and I think it's great, but it will be even greater if someone could enlighten me on the following :)

1) How do I change/edit the quick links in the home/today page? (i looked everywhere from settings in the phone section to the settings in the windows mobile section but i can't find anything.)

2) How do i change my message tone to something not in-bulid in the phone? (meaning my trimmed mp3s)

thanks a million
[HD2 General] gdayhtc:
1) answer to nbr 1...it is right on the bottom of the home page where it says menu...

2) all you have to do is copy the mp3 song to the windows directory in your device
[HD2 General] rocker128:
1) I just realise i had asked a stupid qn. lol

2) the file is already in my windows directory. I press and hold it but there is only an option to set the file as ringtone but not notificiation (message) tone
[HD2 General] gdayhtc:
you need to go to settings and sound notifications...and set it from there, play around with it
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Go to:

Start/settings/Sound & Display/scroll down to Notification Sounds/New Message....and then if your tone is in the windows directory, it should be selectable from the list.

k, thx a lot:)
[HD2 General] rocker128:

Anyone else noticed this not working ?

I have New York, New York as my second choice city, picked from a list, which works.

However, when a GPS fix is attempted on Brooklyn, it states no weather data available ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] 76flip:
I have had the same problem with multiple htc phones in my area, and i have found that the location data its using comes from the antenna your phone is connecting with, so if that antenna is not properly updated with location information then you will not get a correct reading. When i am in Redmond Washington it picks up, but if i drive just out of town all of a sudden i am in East Seattle. I have never been able to get it to use the gps data for my location even though it is always on.

Hey everyone, I think this is my first post ever so I'll introduce myself real quick. Im Raj from NY and I just bought a Rhodium from ATT and absolutly love it.

Anyway, When I turn my phone upside down during a call, the speakerphone doesn't turn on. I checked the settings on the phone (Stock WM 6.5, only flashed hard spl, no ROM et) and it was checked to tun on when device is placed upside down during a call. Any idea why it does not work? I recalibrated the G-sensor also. Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ctbear:
does it work on a horizontal flat surface?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
Right, it has to be upside down and on a flat surface. I.e., GSensor has to see it's horizontal and the proximity sensor has to be activated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rajb1031:
Ahhhh thats the trick. I never had it on a flat surface
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Goanna:
Well, I wanted to be able to share my phones internet connection with my laptop via WiFi, so I downloaded the HTC Wifi Internet Sharing cab and installed that, but it didnt work. My laptop would not connect for some reason.

So, I tried to download the trial of wmwifirouter, it did its thing, restarted the device, then I set it up and turned it on, and tried to connect, and it did the same thing, which leads me to beleive this is a problem with my PC and it's wireless configuraiton and not the phone.

So, I go to reinstall wmwifirouter and then I get a warning about bttray.exe not being a valid win32 application. Soft reset, and the same warning pops up, followed by an SMS error message saying "The message could not be sent, Retry/Cancel?" and after hitting cancel ~25 times that finally went away.

Looking at my com manager, bluetooth has been totally disabled.

I read some into on ppcgeeks with the same bttray issue and it said to look for two DLL files in the windows folder, and either delete or rename them using Resco. Those files werent present, I had nothing to delete. I beleive those are TomTom files, I didn't try to install TomTom yet, it was wmwifirouter that caused this issue.

So, anyway, I had to do a hard reset and use Microsoft myphone service to restore my phone.

Just curious if anyone else has had this happen with wmwifirouter on the touch pro 2? Was there another way for me to fix this other then the hard reset (Just so I know for the future)?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] josean-8:
I use wmwifirouter and it work great! i get speeds of up to 2meg with a touch pro 2! i put the rar folder in the micro sd and instaled the program on the card and worked fine!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mtbmdk:
I had the same type of issues, WMWifiRouter would not work or uninstall, and initally HTC's Wifi sharing would not work. I had to hard reset, install Assasins Lament Certs, now the HTC Wifi sharing works well. AssisinsLament has both the certs and Wifi sharing together. Good Luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Brodie619:
I have used WifiRouter with my HTC Fuze and now my HTC Tilt 2 with no difficulty. Everything works flawlessly...I would try to contact WifiRouter regarding to you issue. They are pretty good of responding to your questions regarding to thier product.
[Nexus One General] staulkor:
After reading all the stories, lots of comments on blogs and forums, I have had enough of the BS about how $530 is over priced and way too much and blah blah blah. You guys want the latest and greatest but aren't willing to pay any more than $5 for it.

Every single phone worth money for years has had an unsubsidized price of at least $550 with a few exceptions of course (G1 is only $400, but it is a generation old hardware). An iPhone 3GS 32gb retails for $699 straight up. The HTC HD2 is $899 on Amazon. Good phones aren't cheap as I am sure a lot of you know. So in this respect, $530 is actually a pretty good deal; especially when you compare it to the HD2 which has the same processor and similar hardware. You are getting a next-gen phone with the best screen to ever be on a phone, double the ram of most high end phones, and double the resolution of most high end phones. You expected the best of the best to be cheap? Pfft...

Also, my current T-Mobile plan is superior to what is going to be offered. It will be cheaper and easier in the long run to just buy the phone straight up.

What I am seeing from people is they see $530 and freak the hell out because they have the $180 to compare it against. Sure, there is a big difference there, but you are locked in to a contract for 2 years. $80 * 24 months + $180 = $2100 over 2 years! AND you only have 500 minutes. If you bought the phone straight up and went with Even More Plus for $80/mo, you get unlimited everything. $80 * 24 months + $530 = $2450. Yes, this is more expensive, HOWEVER, how many times will you go over your 500 minutes in the next 2 years? If this is not a problem for you, by all means, go right ahead and get the contract deal since it suits you. But for me, and I suspect most people, 500 minutes is not enough. For the additional $350 over 2 years, or $14.58 and change every month, it is worth having those unlimited minutes.

Does anybody else agree with me on this? All of my phone junkies I talk to agree that $530 is reasonable. Sure, we all would love a less expensive phone, but lets get real here...

Oh, and if this "leak" turns out to be false, than what an awesome waste of time and all of this is moot! LOL
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Agree with you on this. My current plan is dirt cheep for unlimited data and no 2 year contract, so I'll shell out the $530 if that's all official after the 5th! :cool:
[Nexus One General] esincho:
people are trippin over $530 for a phone like this? I paid $550 for my unlocked fuze last year, $800 for unbranded touch pro 2 in April, unlocked motorola droid(milestone) is $800! Al least this phone has some kind of US 3G support, unlike most unbranded phones that come state side. I think I'm a get it day 1, and then get the Bravo when it come out later this year if Sense UI cant be import on the Nexus.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I agree with you guys wholeheartedly. To be honest though, I think it's most telling to compare plans in an apples to apples manner. I'm a dork with a background in finance, so yes, I created a spreadsheet to calculate all the costs incrementally to see where changes in costs were coming from in my comparison.

After running through the numbers and calculating total costs over a 24 month term, for the 500 minute EM and EM+ plans, with the respective phone costs, the total cost over 24 months if I bought the phone unlocked would be $1970. If I purchased it on contract for $180, the total I'd spend over 24 months would be $2100.

There's NO WAY that you'll spend more over the long term with the EM+ plan UNLESS you're eligible for a corporate discount on the EM plan (which I happily am). With my discount, the total for the EM plan comes to $1811, but that doesn't apply to everyone.

The problem here is that most people are spoiled by the subsidized prices of phones. What they're not realizing is that they're paying for that subsidy in the form of more expensive plans...and then some, as my illustration above clearly proves. If T-mobile allows us to finance unsubsidized phones for 20 months on EM+ plans, then this works out to be more manageable for consumers. Either way, though... people need to consider total cost of ownership (TCO)... not just monthly cost and initial cash outlay for the device.
[Nexus One General] staulkor:
Exactly! Thanks for doing that. People just don't look for future savings and would rather have instant gratification. They are excited by a cheap up front cost and monthly service fee be damned!
[Nexus One General] guitaristjeddah:
I totally agree with you. it is by far the best phone in terms of specifications and price compared to its competitors (iphone 3gs, HD2).

[Nexus One General] jubeh:
I was hoping for unlocked-only availability. It would keep certain... um... people... from buying the phone and then flooding the forums with questions, tacky themes, etc.
[Nexus One General] lordmaxx:
Dont really care about the price. It's actually not too bad, but if they only offer a 3g for Tmobile version here in the states then why bother selling it from google? Now...if they offer a few versions that can do 3g on several of the networks, or the final device gives us 3g on AT&T and Tmobile (and perhaps they do a verizon version too!)...that would be an awesome sale.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I imagine that Google will be releasing high-end phones for all carriers this year. I think they started with T-mobile for a variety of possible reasons. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that they felt that T-mo should get preference because they were the first carrier to carry the Android torch to market. I also wouldn't be surprised if Google had planned this all along and that T-mobile was promised to get the first "Google phone". Obviously this is all conjecture, but it makes sense from a business perspective.
[Nexus One General] andythefan:
But the problem with getting the first of anything is it will be ancient by the time other carriers receive their Android devices :(
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Not necessarily. Given the specs of this phone, I can't see it becoming obsolete as quickly as the G1 did. I could be wrong, but how soon would you think a phone would come out with over 1ghz processor and over 512 ram and rom?
[Nexus One General] andythefan:
Aren't there already two other snapdragon devices out? What about the rumors of another iphone being released later this year?

I think the g1 may have been just as big when it came out. Times change, so does technology. The N1 may seem like the hottest new device, but it's the Nexus ONE just as the Dream was the Gee ONE. Look at where we are now. With at least half a dozen android capable devices out in about a year and 50+ rumored by 2012.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Your points are well taken. No one's saying that this is THE ultimate phone of all time. It's simply the greatest Android phone to be released yet, and based on its specs, it seems to be a very significant advance forward in hardware as compared to other devices, aside from Droid.
[Nexus One General] andythefan:
Before the Droid all the Android devices were mostly similar (form factor, screen resolution/size, cpu, etc). This is just like the Droid. It was supposed to be the greatest Android device until the next phone showed up a few months later. How do we know a device with similar or better specs won't show up soon? HTC's leaked roadmap has a lot of impressive devices scheduled for this year.

The marketplace is only going to fragment even more :( Developers aren't happy coding for all these different devices.
