[HD2 General] BSmart:
Battery drain..

Actually my battery won't last a day!

During week i'm receiving a lot of mail (100+) on 4 accounts (exchanges server, hotmail and 2 accounts using imap) so I figured is was the mail..

but this weekend still noticed the battery drained very fast, and yes, my bluetooth is constantly enabled. I hate disableing it as I need it to automatically connect to my carkit.. but i'm gonna give it a shot.
[HD2 General] Crusoe86:
Well... I am not alone with this problem.

But is that a problem with a driver or a hardware problem?

Maybe it could be fixed?!
[HD2 General] claude4:
Is there a way to NOT drain the battery and have a BT headset enabled all day?

I too am curious to know if having a BT headset always on, as the case for me with my HTC X-7501 as I need to answer calls while driving about.

My X-7501 will never last all day because (I am sure other factors pare at play) the BT is always on. Turn it off and the battery drain is lessened noticeably.

My concern is it will be the same with the HD2 (my future phone.

If anyone can shed some light on how to deal with this when one needs BT on most all the time, it would be greatly appreciated.

I cannot imagine trying to enable BT whenever a call comes in and doing so in time to answer the call.

Anyone have anything to suggest?

Thanks,

Claude H.
[HD2 General] qazokm123:
Yes. My HD2 with 1.66 rom, activating Bluetooth, to connect to BTheadset when needed, will deplete 30% within 7hrs....overnite with no other activity... *sad

Hi, is it possible for anyone of you with this problem to export registry? I would like to setup my phone to be discoverable even when phone is in standby. Apparently this is the situation with your phone and having a registry would definately help me.. thanks :)

Does anybody know of any software thats like a filebrowser for music that can read the tags. I took all of the music out of my iPod and it has given them stupid file names so I dont know which file is which song.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
If you are running a Sense 2.5 ROM you can update your tags through Manila but I suggest you use WiFi.

Not sure about 2.1.
[Nexus One General] Guitarfreak26:
Hey,

Used doubletwist to sync it with itunes, but i have a few songs that are under unknown artist. Is there anyway to edit the info on the n1?

In itunes there labelled correctly, dunno why its doing it :(
[Nexus One General] Ferndogg:
There might be an app for it but I've never seen one.
[Nexus One General] Guitarfreak26:
its quite annoying lol, i dunno why it says unknown artist
[Nexus One General] Ferndogg:
It really is. When I go to albums it show more then 1 for the same album. Pretty annoying but I'm use to it.
[Nexus One General] Guitarfreak26:
Theres gotta be a way

maybe its the id3 tags whatever they are
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Usually best to tag your music collection on the desktop.
[Nexus One General] Guitarfreak26:
I just do it in itunes but it aint worked.. well it mainly has.. apart from 4 songs
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jason02:
I have a pair of bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth receiver in my car.

Once i pair either one to my Touch Pro 2, i noticed that raising/lowering the volume on my HD2 does not affect the audio what so ever(unless i put it on mute).

The music sounds very loud and distorted, and i cant control the volume either way...Anyone else run into this issue? How can i solve it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
That's normal. You need to adjust the volume at the receiving end.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RavenY2K3:
I have the exact same problem. Not sure why as when I pair up to my speakers, the phone tells me it cannot control the volume, yet it worked fine on my "Touch Pro" (the 1st one) and my Kaiser. Not looked for a solution, because its not much of an issue for me really.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jason02:
But the problem is that, the audio being streamed from the HD2 is so loud and distorted, that i have to turn it down(but i cant).

So even if i turn it down on the receiving end, the distortion is still there.

With my old samsung omnia, i was able to turn the music up or down from the phone...I dont understand why this isnt possible with the Touch Pro 2.

The music coming from my phone is unlistenable. The distortion ruins the audio. Which really sucks, because i spent $300 on a car reciever with bluetooth!

There has to be a solution! Come on XDA!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Avatar28:
Try turning it down on the phone first? Or get a player that uses it's own volume control instead of the system volume (I believe Mort Player and Nitrogen will do this).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gunggu:
Same problem here!!!

No volume control at all on TP2, and volume of music cant be changed through the system volume control either
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] worwig:
I have a bluetooth connection to my motorcycle intercom system. I had the same problem, sort of.

I installed Conduits Pocket Player, and use the equalizer to bring down the level of the Bluetooth. That worked well enough for what I needed to do.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ugoff:
I read somewhere else on the forum here that this issue is attributed to the Widcomm Buetooth stack on our phones. Whenever I connect my headset to my phone or my laptop, I receive a warning that the volume must be adjusted on the output device, and cannot be adjusted on the phone/computer. It may be related to the poor support for AVRCP.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jason02:
ok, so it seems that this wincomm bluetooth stack or whatever SUCKS. You're right....I guess the only work around i guess is a player that doesnt use the system volume, like coreplayer.

Coreplayer is great for movies, but for playing mp3's i would prefer Slide 2 Play.

Havent tried nitrogen yet though.

Does a mp3 player exist that is similar to slide 2 play, but doesnt use the system volume of the phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vonh68:
I too am not able to use many of the bluetooth audio accessories such as my jabra headphones, desktop speakers and my indash audio system. None of which work as they did with my Kaiser. This was supposed to be an upgrade to my Tilt and it doesnt even support the OLD protocals that were common 2 years ago?? Im seriously considering switching to blackberry. Anyone intrested in a nearly new Tilt 2. Goodbye htc (high tech crap)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ultraprimeomega:
THis is a problem with the bluetooth stack, just email HTC so they can get a patch for this. or microsoft because they are the ones that control what stack it gets.

this Goes for the HD2 and others too

I know that the site says overnight? can anyone confirm that if i order it today (sunday) that it will arrive before the weekend?:eek:
[Nexus One General] Ace42:
Mines is in the box right now i guess it still counts since i didnt put it in my hands yet.

[Nexus One General] andythefan:
If I ordered it yesterday (Saturday) the 16th, when would I get it from? I'm guessing since they don't ship weekends and Monday would they ship on Tuesday, and I would get it Wednesday?

Also, what if I'm not home when the package gets here?
[Nexus One General] secretasianmanjv:
They ship on Monday. MLK day is not a FedEx holiday. Mine should arrive tomorrow, hopefully early.
[Nexus One General] andythefan:
When did you order it?
[Nexus One General] secretasianmanjv:
Thursday evening, you can check the status of your order in the email they send you.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Ordered Tuesday night.

First attempted delivery = Thursday 2:07pm.

So 48 hours.
[Nexus One General] scrappyabs2:
If I order mine tonight will I receive the phone by Tuesday? I live in Chicago.
[Nexus One General] dabido:
I can confirm that, If you buy it on Sunday, you'll get it by tuesday...

I ordered my phone on a Sunday night. Fedex got to my door by 1pm on tuesday.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Also about 48 hours for mine to arrive.
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
Free overnight shipping - ordered on the 5th, received on the 7th THE MINUTE the fed-ex place opened, hah.
[Nexus One General] hormelspam:
It took me about 18 hours from the time I ordered it to the time I had it in hand. I called my local FedEx office and had them hold the package rather than letting the delivery driver drive it around until 2:59pm (their commit time.)

Actually FedEx is delivering tomorrow on MLK day.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] WarlockW:
Was able to change the Left and Right softkey In HTC Sence

But after updating to the new t-mobile rom It refuses to change.

\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila change value of each key (LSK for Left Soft Key, RSK for Right Soft Key)

HomeLSKArguments - Argugement of application you'll be calling

HomeLSKPath - Path to program with in "" i.e. "\Program

HomeLSKText - text of the button.

HomeRSKArguments

HomeRSKPath

HomeRSKText

What I am trying to do is change the right soft key to the windows contacts

Not the HTC contacts its defaults to

The TEXT Changes JUST FINE !

But Still runs the HTC ALL contacts

Now if I close Manila and use the windows home screen it works just fine. Restart Touch Flow .. and it uses HTC Weird.

HELP ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
Try using Advanced Config (can't remember if it was in the stock ROM, and I doubt it) to change the softkeys. Once you get in Advanced Config, press Menu > More Settings > Key Mapping.

That's where I change my softkeys because I also experienced problems changing them via reg tweaks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] WarlockW:
yeap tried it .. nope still locked .. old t-mobile rom let me change it as well aswell as the wwe htc ver ..

this new "leaked" T-mobile Rom Dont seem to wana let me :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
What exactly are you entering to try to launch the WM Contacts?

Have you tried windows\poutlook.exe for HomeRSKPath with contacts for HomeRSKArguments?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] WarlockW:
yea .. tryed that and just the contacts.lnk

HomeRSKArguments - none

HomeRSKPath \windows\contacts.lnk

HomeRSKText - Contacts

I copyed the contacts.lnk to the windows dir .. was easier to type this lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Do mean that you tried what I suggested?

Or do you mean that using "contacts.lnk" should be equivalent to what I suggested, that is, entering "poutlook.exe" and "contact" separately?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] WarlockW:
sorry .. yes I have tried what you suggested .. also tried the contacts lnk

also tried advance config and Softkey manager ..

Maybee some hidden key .. in the reg .. or a program running that will not let it change ?

[Nexus One General] SANTilt:
Hey guys, I just wanted to show the difference without the flash on, and with the flash on at night, from a distance. I read in some online reviews that the flash wasn't powerful, and admittedly, the flash doesn't make the second shot a "good" shot, but I think it goes a long way to show how far it can project, and thus its potential.

I personally didn't expect it to reach that far, and even brighten the picture up as much as it did.

Without flash:

Went to dinner last night at D'arcy Mcgee's Redbreast Whiskey, Baked Brie, Also had some fish n chips and followed up with a volcano cake
[Nexus One General] BoostedSR20:
Taken this morning, kinda cloudy.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
How many year was the Redbreast? I am a bit of a whiskey aficionado. If you haven't tried the 18y/o Redbreast give it a go, has a very unique citrus like flavor, and is great for sipping with a meal.
[Nexus One General] halfsight:
It was a 12 y/o whiskey. was very good, a bit spicy. Served with dark chocolate and ginger candy.
[Nexus One General] Amdathlonuk:
Man... you really need to repaint your nails :D
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
The 12y/o is a bit spicey, is better IMO (and as your pic seems to show) on the rocks. Actually, 12y/o's across the boards seem to like being served on the rocks. If you are much of a whiskey fan, check out Jamesno Gold Reserve, $60 a bottle, one of the tastiest affordable whiskey's I have ever had, and has a really complex flavor so drinking it never seems to get old.
[Nexus One General] zjchaser:
not a great photo because of the lighting but its the first one I took with the phone. Was at the race track all weekend. it was 5mp and when looking at it fullsize on my computer I'm quite impressed with the camera on this thing. resized it to 800x600

Hi,

Can you please post this photo in its original quality?

Thanks
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
I see the dread pink splotch has hued all of these photos, although some of them look MUCH BETTER than the photos my phone takes.

Any ETA on a pink blur fix? Every picture I take of people indoors results in red faces even when there are none in reality.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Are you using the stock camera app or did you download one from the market? Check out Camera Zoom Fx (FxCamera is free version) or Snap Pro (can't recall free version).
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
I tried those and they do the same thing. Here is a picture of a flat white wall to illustrate. It was taken while it is dark outdoors with a couple of flourescent lights on inside. It does the same with incandescent.

It almost made me send the phone back for refund. Apparently they all do it.

Thread at this forum: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...-one-camera-issue-cloudy-red-blur-middle.html

Don't know if there is a thread here.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Have you tried adjusting the white balance with them? If you look back a page, the guy that took the pictures of his meal (Guinness in the pics) has a white plate that looks perfect!

Try manually picking different white balances until one in the preview is clean and clear, then see if it still shows up.
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
This was taken with the flash off. If you turn the flash on, often you get decent looking shots, I'm guessing because the LED is very blue and it cancels out the pink blotch. Anything outside the range of the LED flash will be affected by the big pink blotch.

Oh, and white balance settings don't really matter. Auto and incandescent look about the same.

[Nexus One General] Fresh50:
Snap Photo Pro is not working yet for the N1.
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
I changed the white balance to incandescent and took two more shots. One with flash off and one with flash on. Without the flash, the pink blotch returns. Do you guys not get the pink blotch in your low light indoor pictures?

My old 2MP phone definitely did not do this, although the white balance was just as bad on that phone.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
I used the paid version of FX when I did my testing since that I what I paid for on my G1, kinda odd Snap Photo Pro isn't up and running for Nexus yet.

Anyways, this was a bit of an issue, IIRC, with the Droid as well. I think it has to do with a timing issue, I would guess, in the stock 2.X framework not shutting the preview LED off in time. I would assume the fix would involve delaying the picture by a few milseconds.

I would be willing to bet that HTC/Google have an update for the Nexus One, with many fixes, sometime in the next couple weeks. Partially to wait for all the bugs to come out, and partially since it takes time to come up with the fixes.
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
There is no preview LED when the flash is off.

HTC had this same problem on the HD2. They fixed it with a software update. Hopefully they come up with a fix that works on android.
[Nexus One General] halfsight:
Since I am not taking pictures of white walls I don't really get that issue. Sounds like you should go buy an actual camera with a large shutter.
[Nexus One General] theomajigga:
and it never will... I talked to the Dev personally and he said no go until Android API's are the same, he siad to code for the nexus would mean to go through and recode it all...

His words not mine.

[HD2 General] aceo07:
I've wanted the HD2 since it was announced last year. It was to be my replacement for my iPAQ hx4700 (4" VGA pda). It was primarily my pdf reader + media player during my commute, while I had Razr as phone. Unfortunately it started having screen issues and not always detecting release of click (drag), so it's harder to use now. The HD2 would be the replacement for the iPAQ and my phone, which is now a HTC Dream.

Now that it'll really be showing up at T-Mobile US, I have some questions. Hopefully you guys can sort them out.

1. How well does it work as a phone? Sound quality, reception, microphone, bluetooth..etc

2. PDF reader - I currently use mobilexpdf and it works great. The options are perfect for what I need. Great zooming and image quality. Ability to set DPI so I can get exact zoom. Very important so I can zoom enough to 'crop' out the empty side space. (I tried the pdf reader on iPhone and while pinch-zoom was cool, it wasn't exact enough for me.) Also bookmarks. Did everything I needed and was bloat free AND it was free. Does mobilexpdf work on HD2?

3. Media player - I use TCPMP. It supported all my videos and even had subtitles. Also free. I did a search and it seems like it works but it needed some tweaks. Anybody use it?

4. Can I use the HD2 without a data plan? It is possible to shut off ALL data? I don't really need a data plan, though it has been cool to use google maps and web browse. I think there is 'NoData'. How well does that work? Can all (included) apps just use a wifi connection instead?

5. How does the googlemaps app compare to the Android version? I know it doesn't have the nav feature, but I don't really need that now.

6. Possible to unlock screen with button presses instead of swipe? It doesn't seem like it's possible to unlock with 1 hand.

I essentially want to use this phone as a phone that can handle my stored media/ebook files. I'd want to pay for it in full and not get a 2yr contract. I have an unlimited data plan now, but don't need it if I can entertain myself with ebooks or videos offline.

The HD2 has the screen, speed and OS to let me do what I need to. Android didn't really have any pdf readers that worked as well as I would have liked. Maybe it was the screen size/resolution. Some apps even sent the pdf file to server to be converted.. :p It also only supported a few codecs so video viewing wasn't fun. The google killer apps were nice, I only really needed googlemaps.

Thanks for your insight.
