Is there some application to keep the screen on for certain applications? It's annoying having to turn my screen on all the time when I'm using Windows Live Messenger. Or at least, is there a way to switch the screen from turning on or off easily (like a hotkey or something, going through all the menus is annoying). Thanks!

Is there a way to backport sense from the leaked 2.1 or port from 1.5? I really want to try the aosp 1.6 but I love most of sense.
[Hero CDMA General] 98classic:
u can just wait, or learn and do it yourself. seems like the devs dont even wanna bother with sense, too much on the plate just trying to get things running right now. or get toast's 2.1 with sense in it
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Please search, this has already been asked
[Hero CDMA General] beyondinferno:
Sorry, did the search but must have over looked it.....
[Hero CDMA General] adelaney:
No worries, I asked the same question yesterday. I was told it would be a hefty undertaking, would involve moving a ton of stuff. So that's what I am doing.
[Hero CDMA General] soad112589:
This is my first time posting here but I've been just reading comments for a while now. Correct me if I wrong but I do believe that the HTC Tattoo has 1.6 with SenseUI. Since we now have the kernel for our phones we could just port the ROM over?
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
It's possible to port over the Tattoo's copy of SenseUI. It would still be a lot of work, but you can try.
[Hero CDMA General] soad112589:
I don't really know enough about android or linux to do that. All I know is java and very little C++. I was just wondering if that was a feasible option if someone knew what they were doing.

Can we change the S-ON by updating higher version of RUU ROM/SPL?

I saw in Cursor update threade that one guy had change S-ON to S-OFF by updating RUU.

So it will be the hope for who are looking for change the perfect SPL.

Accuracy

Well, I have been very weary of this map. The map now says it covers 3G where I live (Outskirts of Tucson) I don't remember seeing 3G at my house last night. 3G coverage in Tucson seems spotty at best for me and I definitely haven't seen the 7.2 Mbps 3G. But I'll wait and see I guess. Anyone else see 7.2 Mbps in Tucson?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arucard98:
Lol wow can they make a more hard to use confusing map?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rossle12:
Yay for T-Mobile and their confusing map.

But looks like they have plenty of coverage, atleast the service doesn't cut off for hours like A*T..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KalynSS999:
Yep. Just checked. No 3G at my house. Driving into town, 3G does pop up about 2 miles closer and the signal is stronger.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] chaoscreater:
Does anyone know what file contains the wait/load cursor animation? Some say it's a .dll file while others say it's this file called gwes.exe.040C.mui.....

reason i asked is coz in the older EnergyROM builds, or more specifically the build 21921 released on July 14th 2009, that rom has this purple wait load animation cursor and i like it a lot, but then it got changed to what we have now, a circle with blue dots, and i think it looks ugly.

I've been wanting to change the cursor for a long time but was often busy etc etc, now that it's the holiday i'm finally gonna try and get this done, hopefully.

In case some of u asked, I already PMed Cmxlygo and he told me to get this .dll file from the windows folder, but i don't see it in there. He wouldn't help me at all and won't even share the picture file. I PMed NRG and he hasn't replied in days.

I also tried CMxlygo's pimp packages, all of them in fact, none of them contained it.

And in case if you guys suggest me to use Marshall's cursor packages or w/e (forgot the name), i already tried it but don't like those.

I can't believe NRG didn't put that cursor file in the "Extras" folder on his page, you have .cab files for dialers etc but not that, it's so hard to find and i don't even think anyone has it.....

so ya i plan to try and get it somehow off the older build and put it in my current EnergyROM, but i'm gonna need some help to know what file contains it.....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stylez:
shellres.192.dll holds the bitmaps of the wait cursor.

Attached ROM Extractor that will get the file.

[TUT] Editing Resources .dll etc

All software needed on thread.

You will also want to install SDKCERTS soft reset phone before you replace the resource "again attached"

hey guys, i just received my 8gb transcend class 6 sdhc card and when i plugged it in, the phone wont recognize it, it can read my micro sd 1gb Sandisk but not my new SDHC one.

ive seen many people using this transcend card on their raphs and had no problems, can anyone help me out? its driving me nuts cuz i cant find a solution whenever i search
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] littlerob904:
I had the same exact problem. Bought an 8gb transcend for my phone and it refused to recognize it. Tried a few different rom's as well. I searched and searched and didn't get any solid answers, but did find a few forums where other users had the same exact problem. I chalked it up to the combination of a cheap card and a cheap reader, and for whatever reason they don't work. If you happen to find a solution, please share it. As I currently have a 8gb sitting around doing nothing, since I have no other microsdhc devices to try it in!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] XERO_Racer:
UPDATE: ok soo i put the SDHC card into my friends Tmobile Wing and it read it just fine, i got mine to work but i have to soft reset or take out the card, even if that helped it was a temporary fix and the problem would come back!

is there a solution or fix for this? i really need ur help guys
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dshiu:
hi, i kno this has been asked before. i've done searches but they all seem to go off topic and still havent found a solution yet. so bear with me :)

so the problem is, i have trouble staying connected on windows live messenger, every so often i get disconnected and it'll reconnect by itself, and when im chatting with someone a lot of messages cant get thru and i have to type again... which is getting very annoying

the thing is, i have only used the stock ROM on the x1 for abt a week, then i decided to flash it with the Touch-It rom... so this makes me wonder if the sony ericsson x1 has horrible reception, or is the the ROM thats causing the problem?

thanks!
[Nexus One General] manjish:
hi guys,i'm new to android and htc and xda too.previously i didnt had any android device so im not familiar with it.also i live in Nepal and they dont have htc in nepal....only nokias ,samsungs,SE and all..and yes ive read this forum for about 1 months now;)

now my brother in US is willing to send me a cell phone. :)

he is no tech guy so i think he will take a cell phone from tmobile subsidized and send it to me and buy any cheap cell phone in ebay for his use

also i love modding my device to use it to its full potential(i am familiar with rockbox :D for modding my mp3 players)

so guys here are my few questions on nexus one:

1>ill be getting it rooted the day it comes to my hand .but ive read somewhere that rooting might cause wifi problems..is it true??also majority of people have rooted their nexus here....so is there any problem??

2>the most important....i read that many of people had to deal bad costumer support for replacement...BUT why are they replacing their about-1-month-old phone??does it have common problems??

3>i think it is unlocked...but heard that we need a t mobile dataplan for activating the device for the first time.is this true?here in nepal no 3g..only gprs hehe.so will activate from nepal??is there anything else that might stop me from using this device here

as my brother will have to ship the phone to nepal and after that for me the warranty is void.:o because i have to pay around 150$ to send it back to US for repairs or replacements.so i need a solid phone with no major issues(i can live with the dust on the screen scenario and i may be able to open it and clean myself)BUT i cannot repair a non functional wifi here.

so the question is...

4>should i go with nexus one with 1ghz :eek: and lots of feature or buy a mytouch 3g fender LE(the only point considering it is it has 32a board and i play Drums hehe).help me guys.....

5>what is the price difference of mytouch3g le and nexus one in reality?....my brother quiet stupid :p so he may end up buying a 530$ phone for 1000$ with 2 yr contact(including 2 yr monthly charge too).i want to prevent it :D...with contract they are both about 180$ i guess.

could someone explain this to me??
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Rooting will not effect your WiFi. You can activate it without a tmo data plan as long as you buy the unlocked version for $530 from google. The dust issue is an easy fix if you catch it early, and not as wide spread as it seems, but worth checking out.

As for price difference, not much really when buying unlocked. Get the N1, you will be much happier!

[G1 General] Kisama:
So, I can't find an active thread that solves this issue, here goes.

I have a G1 running RC29 w/out fastboot. If I boot to recovery console, I can press Alt+L and get the command screen. I then get two errors:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E:Error in CACHE:recovery/log (No space left on device)

Alt+L and Call+Menu+End are the only button combinations that do anything. Alt+W and Alt+S do nothing, so I cannot load any update.zip files.

I can't adb shell, I have to telnet into the device.

If I type df, the results are:

/dev: 49564K total, 0K used, 49564K available (block size 4096)
/sqlite_stmt_journals: 4096K total, 0K used, 4096K available (block size 4096)
/data: 76544K total, 3836K used, 72708K available (block size 4096)
/cache: 69120K total, 69120K used, 0K available (block size 4066)
/sdcard: 1916856K total, 89424K used, 1827432K available (block size 4096)

Typing mount returns:

rootfs / rootfs ro 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=600 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /sqlite_stmt_journals tmpfs rw,size=4096k 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system yaffs2 ro 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock5 /data yaffs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock4 /cache yaffs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmash=0711,dmask=0700,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,utf8 0 0

So, clearly my /cache partition is full, which means I can't do much of anything. Attempting a Factory Data Reset from within the OS returns:

No reset was performed because the System Clear service is not available.

From within the telnet, if I ls from within /cache I have two directories, recovery and lost+found. I can delete and recreate /recovery. /lost+found, however refuses to delete, claiming "directory not empty" but when I cd to it and then ls, nothing appears.

At this point, I'm severely stuck and have been unable to find a solution with either Google or IRC. I'm told that I could fix it with

fastboot erase recovery

except I don't have fastboot and cannot load the SPL because the recovery console won't respond.

At this point, I'll try anything as the phone is pretty much useless. If you power it off, it reboots instead. I have to pull the battery to turn it off.
[G1 General] oshizzle1991:

[Hero CDMA General] iikingli:
Hello All,

as you can see from the title im a no0b ad Rooting the CDMA, while i have rooted and updated the ROM, i had a few questions the first rom that i have Found was the Fresh 1.1 Rom, I have since found the modaco ROM,

is there any major difference,

Also I cant seem to Update the Themes VIA "update.Zip" as it freezes so im assuming the themes i find are for different ROM builds.

Anyone that can toss me into the right Direction would greatly be thanked
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
you need to be really carefull where you are getting the themes from if you mess up and flash something for a GSM hero onto your phone it will brick it. I dont know where you are getting them from but I would make sure you stay in this sub forum untill you really have a grip on whats going on.

and if you are getting them from this forum then they may not be made for the rom that you are using.

do a search for metamorph its the easiest way to theme your phone if your new.
[Hero CDMA General] iikingli:
Hey Thanks I noticed in your Sig, that you use both Fresh and MaC for Daily builds which do you prefer and is there any reason why.. Thanks again
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
they are both great ROMs but my personal tase goes to the Fresh ROMs I think more than anything it comes down to 2 things

1: I like the rosie in Fresh compared to the stock one in MoDaCo

2: I like the fact that Flipz has removed a lot of the bloatware thats in the stock ROm where the MoDaCo ROM leaves everything in there along with adding some programs in. the only things I pushed back to Fresh where peep, IM, Sprint TV, and location service.

on top of that I have now added MoDaCo's custom kernel 1.1 and things seem much faster but who knows could be the placibo effect. and I have moded a lot of the fresh APKs. Changing the Dialer Changing the icons to the 2.1 icons added one of Noj's lockscreens and so on and so forth so I have really personalized Fresh Rom and its kinda hard to move away from that.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ssilver:
My Verizon TP2 w/WM6.5 has a new problem I did not have with 6.1. My email is set to check my ATT email every 15 mins. If I am using the internet (IE or Opera), my internet screen is replaced by the email inbox screen. How can I stop the email connection from overriding the browser?

I think this has also happened while I was shooting a video.
[HD2 General] Spike15:
I honestly want to know what you expect.

I woke up at 4AM this morning, and it's not 8PM, and my battery is on 61%. I've done e-mailing, made phone calls, received phone calls, texted, surfed the web a bit waiting for a buddy to meet me at the mall, and Shazamed a couple of songs that came on the radio in the car.

How long do you expect a battery that'll fit in the HD2's slim form to power its extremely demanding hardware?
[HD2 General] CHIP STAXMAN:
All expect is a functional and practical device.

I bought this as a work phone. It isn't always practical to be carrying around a phone charger.

"Before we start the meeting, do you mind if I plug my phone into your wall socket?"

Having to plan around charging points on a long work day on the move defeats the point of a mobile phone.
[HD2 General] snerkler:
I understand what you're saying about expecting too much, but perhaps phone companies should consider not making such poweful phones until there is a battery powerful enough to support them. It's all well and good having such great technology, but if you can't use it how you want/should what's the point? Just a thought.

Personally the poor battery life doesn't bother me too much, but then I'm not out and about all day.
[HD2 General] Mithrandir007:
With the latest radio and an efficient ROM, all that is unnecessary (even with the stock rom and latest radio I bet).

I usually charge it overnight, but forgot to do it last night.

I removed the charging cable yesterday at 8AM, made about 20-25 minutes worth of phone calls, 20 minutes surfing on internet + a few e-mails, around a dozen picture, 10 minutes GPS (iGO8) and messing around with the phone a bit from time to time.

It's now 10AM, so 26 hours later, and the battery is still at 75% (haven't put it on a charger at all, not even in the car while using the GPS).

I wouldn't really call that "having to plan around charging points".

I agree that during a busy work day, you could have more phone calls, but still, you should have plenty battery left (especially if you don't forget to charge it overnight like I did ;) )
[HD2 General] arugess:
Just wanted to share with CHIP how I get around a busy work schedule with the phone.

The key thing is the USB sync/charge cable, when at my desk I sometimes plug the phone into the notebook dock via USB for juice, and it doesn't hurt that it's also syncing with the laptop.

On the move, I've got a USB socket adapter thingamajig for my car's cigarette lighter socket, so if the phone is low, it gets plugged in.

Furthermore if I get the chance to plug the laptop in like in a long meeting, the phone also gets plugged into the laptop via USB for more charging goodness.

It will probably kill the battery quicker this way, but it sure beats not being to use the phone at all, and besides, we did buy a phone that can have it's battery replaced easily right?

in my neck of the woods, you can get a third party USB sync/charge cable for about USD$9...
[HD2 General] shu8i:
y well you are lucky ;) i go out of home, after 10 mins of listening to music it's already on 95%. I'm eagerly awaiting the new battery.
[HD2 General] Cass67:
What would you class as an efficient ROM ?

I find the battery life on this phone abysmal .. To the point i switch off all wireless services except the one im using at the time to enable me to have any time on the phone at all .. Surfing the web on wifi with the other wireless services on i can practically watch the battery life decrease every few mins ..

Something is amiss .. I upgraded the radio to the 2.07.51.05 version but ended up going back to 2.06.50.04 as i found it to be better ..

Whats your profile for enabling wireless services, do you have 3G enabled all the time, Wifi, Bluetooth ?

Cheers
[HD2 General] d4v0r:
How much battery do you lose over night? On my phone it drops about 12-15% in 8 hours (radio off, flight mode). To me, it seems too much...
[HD2 General] gabbs:
there is a problem with battery life,there are lots of problems with this phone..currently my opera browser stopped working,the sms is still not fixed..

the fact that you have no problem with your device does not mean it's the same for everyone..
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
It's definitely ROM and Radio dependant. The ROM I'm using at the moment is incredible. Comebined with the latest 2.07 radio and my battery lasts for ages.

I was only getting about 10 hours with very light use and push email on when I was on 1.48. Now I'm on a 1.66 based ROM and the battery last about 300% as long.

I'm currently on about 26 hours since last charge and still got 38% battery. That's with push email (peak times 7am til 11pm), lots of surfing, about 20 mins talking and some texts. Over night I lose about 1-2% max.

I'm telling you, with the latest software, this is a different phone. Also it seems like it sorts out the SMS bug too. Upgrading makes this phone everything I wanted it to be when I got it 3 months ago.
[HD2 General] Cass67:
Interesting ... I have been using the 1.66 series also and battery is poor.. i need to keep track of proper usage to really see whats going on given i use no push email either .. Im wondering if it could be due to the fact location is on and also the radio is looking for 3g when im in a gprs only location, could all be contributing factors .. gprs data always seems to be connected too ..

Life was simpler with the iPhone (less fun though) ;)
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
On the ROM I'm using in the Wireless settings there is an option called 3G - Change to GSM Mode. This drops the connection down to GSM if there isn't a good 3G signal. Also there is a setting in BsBTweaks called PowerSaving that I have turned on. This combined with the fact that the 2.07 Radio gives me about 1 bar better signal everywhere seems to have made this phone perfect for me. Maybe you should start experimenting with some battery saving tweaks like this?

I woulld definitely turn off all the auto download stuff like weather, stocks, time sync, twitter etc (except push mail). I mean how important is it that the weather is up to date 24 hrs a day when you probably only look at it once or twice a day. If you need it you can just press the update now button and within seconds you have it updated anyway.
[HD2 General] terrytpot:
Mine did behave reasonably well untill I started throwing apps and mods at it as fast as I could to get it to the point where I was happy with it. Lights out last night for me was at 01:30 with 94% charge,bluetooth off,gprs connected and trawling for e's avery 15mins..at 06:30 the battery was down to 41% with no programs showing active on task manager and thats after a tidy up last night with MemMaid as well:(. Guess who's going to be flashing his first new rom later this week ;)..
[HD2 General] Cass67:
Yes, i have all auto download stuff off, weather just annoys me with all that moving clouds etc .. Twitter i refresh when i enter the app.

I have Change to GSM enabled. i am presuming this setting will continue to search for a 3g signal though .. Figured this used more power as the radio would be working harder no ?

I have power saving status enabled ..

The 2.07 radio for me i found really made the battery drain, notcibly so.. I moved back to 2.06 as recommended by the Miri page as i was using his rom at that time .. Not bothered to move back to 2.07 yet .. i may do in a day or so once i get a baseline to compare against.

The other night when i was on 2.07 i surfed the web for half an hour and listned to the engadget podcast for an hour, probably half of that with the screen off and i lost around 30-40% battery .. I blamed the 2.07 as i had better battery before i moved to that i thought..

I need to analyze this rom over the next day or so, i got the device 5 days ago and every day since i got it i have flashed one or more roms / radios so ive not really had a stable config to benchmark, what i do know is that i have the above settings enabled in all roms .. Ill be trying not to flash for the next couple of days to see whats what ..

Cheers
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
Why do you need it scanning for emails every 15 mins while you're asleep. Why not change it to manaully download them in off peak hours (1am-6:30am) that way they'll still be waiting for you when you first wake up but not wasting battery checking while you're asleep.
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
On one of the other battery posts someone said that you need to give the battery a couple of discharge/charge cycles down to 1% with a new ROM/Radio in order for it to accurately be able to predict its charge loss. Don't know how much truth is in this but it might be better to stick with one for a couple of days at least before changing so you can get an accurate comparison.
[HD2 General] Cass67:
Ok, yeah ill give it a couple of days to see whats what before i really damn this beast and have to buy the fat extendo battery with kickstand :D
