[G1 Accessories] Geniusdog254:
So my Rogers Dream has bit the big one. Well not entirely, but close enough, BT won't work, it won't read sd cards, basic features work but I can't live without SD or BT. I know the daughterboard contains the microsd slot instead of the mainboard.

I have an ADP1 that I currently don't use much, I would like to switch out the daughterboard between them to get my SD working again. I know it wouldn't fix BT, but then I also need 3G more than BT so this is my best bet solution (put the ADP board in the Rogers phone). My question though is whether anything else in on the daughterboard, buttons I know, but no biggie, same with USB plug. What about radios?

However I do have one other possible solution that would be an easier switch, but I'm not sure if it would work or not. The UMTS board & connector is just under the main back plate, with only one screw & one cable. Very easy to switch (if your careful). Could I just switch the UMTS board into my ADP & get 3G on the AT&T freqs? Yes I know software won't do it, I'm not a moron, I'm talking a hardware swap. If you don't know what it means don't say anything on this one ;)

Don't flame me, I know what I'm doing (somewhat). I have poured over the factory service manual & know how to do everything I'm asking, I just need to know the practicality of it.

Ok, I have the task killer app, but not sure how to determine what apps are ok to have running in the background and not suck up juice...

Seems odd to me that all the apps, even some that have an 'exit' menu item still linger after closing.

I searched about this forum (and wiki), but did not see similar questions.

It's probably so obvious that it doesn't register...

Thx!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hol17:
Don't kill things like Alarm Clock, Messages, Touch Input, etc. Background apps only suck juice and use data if the app's themselves connect to the internet or use background data, if you aren't using background data, then disable it (there are third-party apps to toggle it mobile data and GPS on and off through widgets).

Personally, I used a task-killer and thought it would extend my batter but your battery life doesn't go down any faster killing tasks. My phone runs faster and smoother with it uninstalled and my battery was mostly draining because I had mobile networking on. Turn that off when you aren't using it (including GPS) and your battery life will increase two-fold. Not as much to do with background apps as you think.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pwkpete:
Ok, thanks!

I have to Rogers too, but in my readings, everyone has said use the task killer, so I thought that was standard operating procedure. Then surprised a stock system didn't have anything like that installed.

I had left wifi and gps enabled on my Pure (Topaz) and battery life wasn't that bad. Would turn off when not in use. Does this one just stay on all the time?

-P
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hol17:
It will stay on all the time unless you turn it off via Settings or a third-party widget installed through the marketplace. As said in a few topics, Android is a Linux based OS meaning it's meant to handle the loads of apps running at the same time, it's how Linux handles RAM that makes Android fast. Running background apps do not mean they are literally running in the background, like in windows when you open 18 different windows and minimize a few, the programs are still running full capacity. Linux saves the applications settings and puts the application on 'idle' or a 'sleep' mode that allows the application to run in the background without it affecting battery life much. (I believe that's how it works.)

Don't worry about the task managers and just get some third-party toggle widgets installed from the market place.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pwkpete:
I should have been more clear in my original question, sorry.

I'm quite familiar with *IX, been using / running / admin since 86.

I was mostly concerned with misbehaving apps (apps in background that continue to chew cycles), or devices that do not go idle when not in use. Generally unusual stuff that will drain the battery, not necessarily the obvious.

My experience with Android prior to this phone with with Android 2.0 as a work in progress on the HTC Topaz (which I am selling), and I constantly used task killer. I'm using it as a bad reference, I know it was in early stages of devel, but it was hard to tell what was draining the battery (and it got very warm).

I just unlocked my Sapphire last night and so far am very happy with it.

One thing that I wondered: is the expectation that if it gets slow, or if memory/swap starts to run low/out, you should reboot it? I guess that is why there is no task killer initially installed?

Hi All,

What is the secret to synching, or even seeing the Nexus One in a Windows Vista PC? I've connected the phone but the OS is not seeing anything.

Any ideas?

On the status bar, it'll say "USB connected. Click to mount" or something like that.

Click it and it'll mount as a drive. Don't forget to eject or "safely remove usb device" before taking it off.

The wireless tether will allow other devices to connect

1)Connect Via PC

2)Use PC to setup Ad-hoc

3)Connect via PSP

[Imagio General] razzix:
Through a series of weird events I have ended up with a gsm unlocked imagio and no VZW service any longer. No sweat I still have an auxilary line with att. I have gone through all the data settings. Destroyed the connection guardian and unblocked the server edit for arcsoft. Everything works great. Data, SMS, Sending MMS. The only issue I am running into is recieving MMS. I get the messages most of the time but they all say "Message not found". No picture, no text other than the error. MMS settings in arcsoft have been checked over and over. All the searching on the web has yielded no results. Any pro willing to help with the settings/registry tweaks required to get this up and running?
[Imagio General] qquag:
I am having this same problem I have tried about everything I could think of to get it working.
[Imagio General] Montea:
x3 on this issue. Regular text message I get no problem but MMS with pic or anything else I get "Message not Found" I can send without any issues
[Imagio General] bbailey167:
MMS on ATT

Same here. Very frustrating.:(
[Imagio General] hkeyman:
I am right here with you guys...same issue and all the same registry file changes made. But still yeilding the same results "Message Not Found". The one conclusion that I can assertain is that it is not opening up into the message program. The file data recieves on mine it is almost like it cant find the appropriate program to open or the file extension when recieved on the phone and points to a Verizon Specific app???
[Imagio General] hkeyman:
Ok since posting my last message on not being able to receive pics via mms, I have done some work on the phone and ROM-Graded to the Sense Rom and everything seems to be working fine with pic message retrieval using HTC messaging...If I go back to the Arcsoft threaded messaging mode it will not still retrieve the pics even after the ROM-Grade. So a work around if your up for it updating the ROM has helped and it also got rid of ALL the Verizon bloatware and crap too...Bonus! I have been running this way for several weeks now and it seems to really be the solution.

[Off-topic] :
I think, social would be they had to pick a side or they could've been effected by other coutries trying to take them over. Economical was because they probably had to send over supplies to allies. Political was if they could've been taken over? We're doing WW1 in S.S. too lmaoo so yeah.

Solution: Just do a hardreset everything will be fine. :D

[Nexus One General] anthro:
What method do recommend in playing movies and other videos on the Nexus One from what files to play, how to transfer them to the phone, and how to play them on the phone.

I browse my movie files on Astro file manager or the stock Gallery app. NemoPlayer browses music nicely too. However, a dedicated movie player would be nice.

I also noticed that it doesn't play all of my videos. It's probably because of the resolution.
[Nexus One General] Prod1702:
I use the paid for version of Act1. The program from what i see only plays video. The program tells you what time it is ie. real time. it also tells you how much battery power you have left as well. When you open the program it tells you what files on the phone/SD card that can be played. What i do is make sure the video file i have is already in HD most of the time 720p or 1080p. I use WinX Video Converter to convert the file to MP4. I set the res to 800x480. The video file plays with no skipping and no problems. The picture also looks really nice as well. If i had to answer your problem about it not playing the file i would say that is before the file is not support by the N1. I believe just MP4 and H.264 are the only supported files. It plays the same thing a Iphone can play and a Itouch pretty much.
[Nexus One General] stickerbob:
Is there anyway to play files other than mp4. Such as wmv?
[Nexus One General] josito_zgz:
Someone knows how you can watch a full screen video in the stock video player without the black bands?

Other phones (HTC Hero for example) have a button on the player to resize the video.

The default player won't do it. Act1 has a full screen option and it's a great app, as the previous poster detailed.

As soon as I flashed to Fresh 1.1 and GK031, I am always above 70%....

Does this even matter?
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
It really depends on how much you use your phone, and how often you reboot.

I run about 25% uptime, but I use my phone a lot. Remember if your phone is plugged into your pc it isn't sleeping.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:

Also, if you are worried about it, some apps keep the phone from sleeping. Just check each one before you install it will warn you and ask permission before you install.

My suggestion would be to look into HTC or Verizon (or perhaps your carrier) for a Japanese ROM.

Needless to say once the Imagio ROM cooking gets going you're bound to find more information.

[Imagio General] DirtyCharmed:
I've already checked with HTC and after not understanding my question several times, I think they finally got it and they don't have anything. So I was hoping someone knew where a crack or something was. Not being able to read Japanese isn't going to help me on a global phone I bought to take to Japan. :D

Thanks though. If anyone else has info or suggestions, I'd appreciate them.

I like the Pegasus . . .

rom Touchflo 2.1 basic. I tried a few roms including Mightyrom 6 and Energy Rom, but seem to be sticking with Pegasus. It is has more recent versions of WM and Touchflo than Mighty Rom and and at least a more recent WM then Energy. It is stable and everything works. There is also a Pegasus titanium rom with an enhanced version of titanium that is also worth checking out. I checked it out, but Titanium, even nicely tweaked, is not as good as Touchflo, in my opinion at least.

Hello All,

I have a T-Mobile Rhodium Touch Pro 2 using the Energy Rom WM 6.5 with the CPU being Qualcomm 7200a what Im being told is the reason my internet is not working properly is the phone itself is not on the 3G band in the country Im trying to use it that T-Mobile uses the 3g band of 17000/2100 and the country Im in stated they use the 3G band of 850/1900 I have no problem accessing their network for voice or Edge but not 3G. I asked them if there is a way for the phone to be put in that mode and they stated that is not their area but if you can get the phone to operate for 3G under 850/1900 then you will have full 3G internet here.

Can anyone help?

Hey there fellow Hero peeps,

I've recently released my first Android app, called Decide 4 Me - LITE. It is an app primarily created to help me make decisions when I'm not able to, which seems like ALL of the time. :rolleyes:

The lite version has three modes included for free - Heads/Tails, A/B/C/D, and a newly included Keno Mode, which will randomly pick up to ten numbers for you to play Keno with, whether online or for the real dough.

Try it out, and help give me some suggestions on how to make the final version even better!

Also, if you like it, give a long time XDA'er some good ratings and comments too :o
