I'll shut down all apps in the task manager and then a little later I'll open it again and there will be a bunch of apps that just started themselves and ran in the background (apps that I didn't open myself). Dildroid would open itself every few minutes so I uninstalled it. "HTC Checkin Service" opens itself all the time too. I think there are a couple more that do it but I can't remember off the top of my head. Why is this happening and is there any way to stop it?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
It is part of the design of Android.

When you install an app, it registers itself with the system and one of the options it has is to automatically start. There are several apps in the market (one is called AutoStarts IIRC) which can override this behaviour.

Note that Android is quite adept at managing resources, and will start kill unnecessary processes/tasks when it needs to. Some people (myself included!), believe that it is better to allow Android to manage itself, rather than using a task killer, but others absolutely swear by the efficacy of task killers.

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rogershroed1991:
Is there any benefit to allowing apps to auto start? I don't understand why they would need to, or why they would even want to start by themselves?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
It's just called AutoStarts.

"IIRC" is short for "If I Recall Correctly" :)

Hello to you all,

First time to post on this forum here,

A time ago I installed an app which enabled time notification instead of the battery indicator. Now I want the battery indicator back! After some searching and trying.... no result.

After installing the nice App of tsowentaskbar6v3.4 I realy want my battery indicator back.

Anyone a Idea?

Greets,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
Why don't you just uninstall the app you used to get the time on the taskbar?

grtz,

Degake
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] siddo:
I tried to find the APP, but cound not find it :p

(actualy I forgot which APP it was)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Roy KW:
You should do an hard reset :)

Or try figuring something out! :mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
Tell me which programs you have installed (which ones you see in the "remove programs" page)

Grtz,

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] siddo:
See attached two pictures,

The last three apps (no screenprint) are

Touch X reset and wifi

tsowen taskbar

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
None of these programs have something to do with showing the clock in your task bar.

Maybe you should take a look at Settings (Windows, not Sense!!).

So: Settings > More > Date&Time and uncheck "display clock on all screens" or something like that..

grtz,

Degake
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] siddo:
Yes found it, getting lost in all the different menu is so easy.

Thanks for the help

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
No problem ;) I'm glad I could help :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] [★]:
so what was the program called, I'd quite like it :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
I think it was just the option "show clock on all pages", found in the windows settings in "Date&time"...

grtz,

Degake
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] [★]:
OMG I've been wanted to do that forever, I thought

it was something only available in 6.5.x

[Nexus One General] britoso:
I overslept today because my alarm was automatically switched off after 10 minutes. (maybe the volume was too low)

There was a notification that said that it was automatically turned off after 10 minutes.

Is there way to make it

1) ring longer and

2) use an increasing volume or high volume.

or do I have to use a separate alarm app ?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Go to the advanced settings in Alarms and you can set the volume for alarms.

Hi,

Does anybody know about a working bluetooth TMC-receiver for Leo? I need only TMC but I'm not really sure what I should buy. Maybe anybody of you has a working one - please tell me which one.

Big THX in advance! :D
[HD2 Accessories] HQ_seppel:
HI, it´s possible to use the inside radio to recive tmc signal. But only with the cableheadset.
[HD2 Accessories] de Wolfe:
Is it already possible also with HD2? Last time I tried (3 days ago) hyperGPS was not suitable for HD2.
[HD2 Accessories] Summerboy1986:
No, it is not yet possible to do so... I am waiting for this too...

GNS TrafficBox Plus FM9BT-C or its identical clone Navilock NL-324BTR (comes a little cheaper). Tested with HD2 + Navigon 7.3.6 and 7.4.0 PDA.

[HD2 Accessories] mermigas:
I've tried Hypergps with my HD2 with no success

The starnge think is that Igo8 discovered TMC when Hypergps was set to port com 7 and GNS protocol. Unfortunately there was no way for me to set the correct FM frequency for RDS
[HD2 Accessories] GSX600FMAN:
TMC working with external BT GPS/TMC receivers

I got my new HTC HD2 a week ago. Igo8 runs exceptionally fast. I wanted to still use TMC data as well as I have paid for it (naviextras) and am used to it on my Pocket PC's (ipaq 3970, 5450, 5550 and 4700). I tried the HyperGPS route with the headset lead (you definitely need to plug a lead in to act as FM aerial). The only way I get TMC information working is to use either the GNS BT GPS/TMC receiver (GNS5843) or the Royaltek (RTG1001). I can either use internal GPS of HD2 (port 4 baud rate 57600) and get TMC from the BT GPS on port 2 at baud rate 57600. Port 2 seems to be the only option you get when you add (pair) the BT GPS devices and pick an external GPS port. I intend to generally use the internal GPS, but when in the car and going some distance or in bad weather if necessary will switch on the GNS 5843 go to igo8 setting/TMC pick GNS (protocol) port 2 and baud rate of 57600 (even though the manual says 38400). I get the message TMC Hardware detected and off It goes searching for RDS signals of the FM transmissions and extracts the TMC codes to integrate with your map and route. I have my GPS/TMC device semi permanently in the car (using velcro pads) by the windscreen or sun roof to get a better view of the sky for the satellites and the aerial suckered to the top of the windscreen so as not to have the FM signal blocked by the metal of the car's metal frame. Be aware that if you have a car with the 'athermic' windscreens that this will weaken all radio signals to your device (satellite, mobile & FM/RDS).

I better mention that I am in Northamptonshire in England in UK. You need to be in area that is covered by TMC carrying radio stations (non BBC), example are Classic FM and leicester sound, Heart FM, etc. etc..

Dear Mr de Wolfe

I use the "GNS TrafficBox FM9BT-C - Bluetooth TMC / TMCPro Empfänger mit KFZ zu USB Adapter" wich is a bloetooth tmc-module built in a car-charger.

It works pretty good, signal is ok with the short antenna and is very good with the cable-antenna. The charger is strong enough for the HD2 (wich is mentioned as problem in the comments of the website)

I got it from here: "http://www.pdamax.de/?art_nr=gn-003"

Greetings from Bavaria

[HD2 Accessories] wilcovh:
I can confirm the gns 5843 working. but i do have, after activating bluetooth, to connect the com2 manually. only activating bluetooth does not do the trick. the gns unit is paired but com2 does not connect. so igo does not find the tmc signal.

after manually connecting com 2 it works like a charm.

little annoyance and would like to find solution for it. if anyone knows.
[HD2 Accessories] GSX600FMAN:
example of sys.txt tmc setting for HTC HD2

I think you can get around this by adding some text to the sys.txt file under title of TMC and you state com port. Port 2 in our case.

[tmc]

port="" - comma separated port name and port number pairs for ex. "COM,1,COM,2,COM,3"

source="" - if it is not specified then the program tries to autodetect or the possible strings are

gns

royaltek

amaryllo

samsung

opentmc1

opentmc2

ngalik

eten

harman

gps_source= - 0 if the GPS and TMC receivers communicate on different ports, 1 if they share one port (for ex. GNS 5843 or Royaltek RTG1001)

But then it will always look for the BT GPS unit. Personally I prefer to switch the TMC section on only if I think I need to when in the car on a longer journey. So I use HD2's internal GPS (port 4) and external TMC (port 2 from GNS5843) Like I went to London on Friday (100miles away). Only in the centre of Canary wharf did the signal become confused. This would be because of the tall, close, glass and steel buildings making multipath GPS signals and only a small and narrow view of the sky immediately above. That is the situation when you put your BT GPS receiver at the sunroof glass looking straight up at sky instead of forward at the buildings blocking the signals from orbit.

Were you using your GNS GPS/TMC device for both signals or just the TMC? The above should cure your problem if you only use the GPS/TMC BT device on port 2.
[HD2 Accessories] wilcovh:
I am using the internal GPS and bluetooth only for TMC. never had a prolem with lack of sattelite signal of the internal GPS in my car, so have no reason to use it other way.
[HD2 Accessories] GSX600FMAN:
I agree that the internal GPS receiver in the HD2 is very very powerful (sensitive). I get all 12 windows full of GPS signal even in the middle of my house and accuracy listed as 'high'. But I was just giving an insight to the worse case scenario I had the other day was in the middle of Canary Wharf because of the tall buildings . it would be the only place in the UK with the worst conditions for satellite reception.

The ideal and cheapest solution, for everyone, will be the solution for HyperGPS to work on HD2 with the 3.5mm aerial/headset lead plugged in. I even get a good FM signal through the 3.5mm to 3.5mm lead to connect HD2 to the audio input to the car system. If someone gets or sees the HyperGPS working on the HD2 for igo8 do please let us know. Thanks! in advance.

P.S. by the way ....where is this web site based? I just put this on at 1856 yet it displays at 0656. This site would therefore be ½ way around the world...... Ah! I just noticed there is the pm after it.
[HD2 Accessories] steveianson:
Just got my Navilock NL-324BTR. Paid just over £50 from Amazon.de. All is working well. The only niggle I have is that when iGO8 opens, it asks me to confirm the port that I want to use. If I do not select the port then hit "select" in time, the option screen disappears and it does not start.

Anyone any solutions?
[HD2 Accessories] GSX600FMAN:
To get that screen back you either just tap the BT button to get to that screen again or minimize Igo8 and tap start then Bluetooth then select your device. (I have moved the BT icon to the top (tap and hold) of the HD2 screen.
[HD2 Accessories] mihaid:
tomtom

Does anyone know whether there are any workarounds to use any of these tmc receivers with tomtom on the hd2. If not, can someone who used both tomtom and recent Igo give a short pros and cons of the two? I used Igo about 3-4 years ago and I did not like it plus I became used to tomtom.
[HD2 Accessories] tomi:
what is reception quality of gns trafficbox tmc receiver?

Hi,

i am topaz (HTC touch diamond 2) owner and can use hypergps, however i find fm reception of topaz builtin tuner quite poor for tmc needs. In my citroen c5 (worst car for all sort of signals due to its athermic windscreen), tmc reception is poor. I have experimented with various antennas connected to extusb connector, however no real success.

I tried to get magnetic mount fm antena for car roof, but there isnt any available?!

Out of desperation i am now conisdering GNS traffic box (to many $$$...). As i understand there are two versions: lighter plug and external antenna version (both BT). I would buy one of these, and lighter plug seems practical, however i am afraid, that it would have poor recepetion due to athermic windscreen.

tomi
[HD2 Accessories] esociarius:
Hi tomi,

I have the GNS for the lighter-plug. The reception in my car (Ford Mondeo) is excellent with the long antenna and not bad with the short antenna - but in your case: I would buy the internal module, which is connected to the antenna of the car-radio, though you cannot take it out of your car.

Best regards

esociarius
[HD2 Accessories] esociarius:
Hi mihaid,

I have Tomtom on my second device, but I think there is no possibility to connect a tmc-module to tomtom - they want to sell their own tmc over internet-connection. This was one of the reasons, why I went back to Navigon, which works great on the hd2 (though the Navigon-support is poor).

Best regards

esociarius
[HD2 Accessories] GSX600FMAN:
For those with athermic front windscreens, place your BT GPS or TMC devices on the rear parcel shelf or attach to a sun/moon roof if you have one. An alternative position if you are a bit DIY is to place under the plastic in the aquarium between the bonnet and windscreen (usually has the windscreen wiper parts there too, needs power and insulation/ water proofing provided) tuck aerial along windscreen rubber).

I have a few movies [some from old phone in mp4 format, some avis for the kids to enjoy once I install a player] that I installed onto SD card into folders called "videos" and "movies"

How do I either make then visible via the homescreen or if not that then easily accessible without having to go via file browser?

Here is a pretty large collection of wallpapers (over 100 now, all presized and everything) for the Touch Pro 2. Word of warning though some are for more mature audiences. i plan on eventually, when i get the time seperating them into different folders, but for now this will have to do. Also feel free to rate the albums and the images (if thats possible) that way i figure out what type of pics people would like more of. Eventually i would like this to be one of the largest databases of wallpapers for the TP2 on XDA, so if u have any suggestions feel free to post em. These should also work on the Touch HD and anything else the is 480x800.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DavidMc0:
I think it's a great idea - reading on a small screen isn't too bad if it's displayed properly.

Only issue at the moment is the inability to add books to read! There is a tutorial that says how to do it, and after reading it briefly, I can't be bothered - I'll wait until it's properly supported.

Could end up good though!

Installed Android 2.0.1 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=627997) on my TP2 on sunday then basically sold my TP2 and bought a motorola Milestone 2 days later.

(see here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5590611#post5590611)

The transition hasn't been without its "Gotchas" so I will detail them here in case anyone is considering doing the same:

The BAD

- First of the Motorola Milestone and the Motorola Droid are not the same

- Droid is US based and gets software updates well in advance of the European based Milestone

- Motorola have signed the firmware of the EMEA Milestone so you can't load custom roms onto it (however motorola's position on this may change...)

- The milestone ships with android 2.0 which may not be available in your EMEA territory

(As of yesterday the update to 2.0.1 is available for the UK and it brings tons of improvements)

- Android 2.0 on the milestone is sluggish, has camera issues, and won't sync to exchange servers easily and if motorola haven't released the update for your territory you will have to endure this till an update comes

- The milestone's keyboard while not too bad could never hold a candle to the touchpro 2 but it is passable

- None of the andriod movie players allow you to increase playback speed (useful for watching training material)

- None of the movie players for android support xvid or divx

- Rooting a milestone or a droid voids the warranty (however rooting allows for additional functionallity.)

The Good

- The screen 854x480

- Multitouch

- Android Market (This is so intuitive - very well designed - literally find and install an app in seconds) and they seem to have an app for everything - litterally LOL!

- 5 Level Home screen (Currently running the nexus one launcher)

- The camera it's just awesome after the 2.0.1 update

- 25fps video recording at 720x480 (Seriously)

- Dual LED Flash (Very Very Bright - in fact the brightest I've seen)

- The can potentially be safely overclocked to 1.1ghz (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Motorola-DROID-Gets-Overclocked-to-1-1GHz-133177.shtml) Crazy!!!!!

- The Android GUI - very intelligently designed, intuitive and functional

- The ability to run Nexus 1 Apps flawlessly (you really need to see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs9VPjdMKqY - I now have this installed as well)

- The RDP Client seriously making the screen emulate a touch pad is just Genius!!! - (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq56-8fQg6o)

- It plays back videos (MP4, 3GP in common resolutions up to 800px wide flawlessly

- Powerful 3D Hardware (the scope for potential here is incredible imho based on the 3D image app I now use to manage my images)

Now for a controversial opinion...

Based on what I've seen of this phone so far I think that it is as fast the the 1GHZ HD2 easily.

I also think that when it's overclocked even to 800mhz it's probably faster (Please note I haven't conclusively tested this yet - this is just an opinion based on observed performance)

So there you have it.
