[HD2 General] TheChozen:
What I seriously think is that there is a chance, that we will get a WM 6.5.3 update.

Yes, it's been 3 weeks since the last ROM, and so? The ROM before that was released in the beginning of December, so about 7 weeks.

...and when is MIX'10? In about a month....so why does this sound so wrong? Especially if the US models get the 6.5.3 ROM, then it wouldn't be so hard to make a version for the unbranded HD2

But yes, we don't know what might og might not happen :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
if they want to update hd2 to 6.5.3 they would have updated it in the 1.66 roms i think the next update will not be 6.5.3
[HD2 General] d3l1:
they really should make an update because there are still so many unsolved issues that really annoy us users (sms lag, ...). Maybe they are already working on it and it will be released when there is a stable version of the newest windows build.
[HD2 General] umaccaud:
What about win6.5.3 combine with the new version of sense ?
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Arent we due WM6.6 soon?
[HD2 General] Euroman28:
We will properly get a 2.00 Rom with Windows Mobile 6.5.3 and some updates included. Maybe a new Youtube Client? Which would allow you to access your youtube account like you can Iphone?

But in my opinion getting an official WM7 HD2 upgrade is a likely as me being invited home by some random woman on this or any friday(Which is very unlikely!)

/Fred
[HD2 General] ejc:
If we believe HTC on twitter:

'for Diamond 2 firmware is not planned. Of the existing communicators on the market, only the HD2 firmware to get WM7'

think you better keep your friday nights free towards the end of the year when the OS is eventually released!!!
[HD2 General] lorezz:
i think that 6.5.3 update can be a concrete possibility....i don't want to believe that Htc could leave us without this update....

I keep circling around this in my head. and i keep thinking, "wait, I know there has to be a setting somewhere i'm just missing". so now i'm finally gonna ask. is the long press completely gone from the stock keyboard (except for stupid accent characters) so that I can get a ! or a ? or a , without having to switch into ?123 mode?

does any good ROM'er/THEME'er out there know how to add it back in?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rmrector:
Long press '.' next to space to get other punctuation
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DaveKid:
yea...i'm talking more about when I could long press and get a "2" or long press and get a "0". basically when long press was integrated straight into the individual keys.

maybe it was just a SenseUI thing....I was using the Sprint Hero at the time.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djpingpong:
You need to get the HTC_IME keyboard which is essentially the same one from the Hero.

Hi,

I was reading about how it is possible to get android OS on your windows device. I dont really know much about mobile devices, and im having a hard time figuring out how it all works and I was wondering if anyone knows a good starting place to start and learn a little about ROMS/mobile devices,... before I try and put a second OS on my device.

Any help/tips would be greatly appriciated!

[Nexus One General] teeskay:
Greetings all, I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that their battery doesn't charge to full when using the wall charger or USB? I have LiPo chargers from RC cars and I have used one to discharge and fully charge the battery to 1400mah and found that the phone seems to have much better battery life than when charged with wall charger / USB.

When charged with the external ("direct") battery charger, I can get to 4211mv whereas normally with the wall/usb it only goes to 4173mv max. From what I know of LiPo/LiIon batteries, they need to get to their max charge voltage (~4200mv) or so and stay there for some time to get full charge.

I have noticed that my phone has terrible battery life when compared to my Touch HD which used to get 20hrs+ of full use on 3G/HSDPA, same usage pattern with push e-mail and I can't even get 12hrs with the Nexus One before the battery runs right down. And I thought the Touch HD had bad battery life!

Any help / feedback would be most appreciated. Thanks! :)
[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
It's interesting I see this as today has been a very odd battery day. I woke up and unplugged it at exactly 5am. For 7 minutes I checked e-mails and twitter and it had dropped 3%!!! By 8am I was down to 82% (ride in to work, listening to music for 25 mins, thats about all) I was thinking this was getting silly. It's now 5pm here and I'm still at 61%?!?! So, over the first 3 hours it went 6%ph, since then it's done 2.3%... that's the best I've ever got from it.

Could this be related? It's not really fully charged, even though it shows 100%, drops very quickly and then when it returns to where it perhaps should be (around 80%) it acts as normal?

What is a LiPo charger and how can I use one to charge my Nexus battery? :)
[Nexus One General] teeskay:
http://blog.quantifly.com/?p=2

iMAX B6 is what I have been using. I have another heavier duty one but this one is good enough for the battery. I have a generic battery charger thing which I got from China which holds the battery while the other unit charges it. Right now as I write this, my phone has been on for 1hr 25minutes after being charged with the charger, I have used the browser for 10minutes, on 3G, downloading things etc. and it is still on 4211mv and 100% charge.

Curious if this is an issue with the onboard battery microchip, or the radio/firmware. Does anyone know where to source an original replacement battery (non-generic replacement)?
[Nexus One General] xSiraris:
The batteries in these smart phones makes no sense. The other day, I charged the phone overnight using USB, and the next day, I was at 97% after 3.5 hrs. Then, another day, with basically the same usage, I'm down to 85% after 3.5 hrs. No rhyme or reason. I wish someone could explain it.

I also wish someone could make a battery that lasts for 48 hours on normal use
[Nexus One General] pzumk:
"Drops very quicky"

same here but ive had this 'problems' since stock firmware. its not CM related.

I also noticed that its dropping from 100 to 80ish very fast when starting many apps in the morning for example. Like stopping airplane mode, starting some apps and opening browser. stays at 80ish for some hours then
[Nexus One General] xSiraris:
Yep. That was the same thing with my Pre. It would never stay at 100% for more than a few minutes, and then it would plummet into the 80's, and then it would be okay.
[Nexus One General] teeskay:
Battery Antics

I purposely left the phone not to charge last night from about 1AM - and I woke up (around 9:30AM) with it at 99% charge still. Used it for a bit and it dropped to 89% and now it's 1:06PM and it dropped to 75% with calls, web browsing and some other stuff. Previous days to this it would be at 75% after just 2-3 hours!

I also noticed that the phone didn't download any e-mails overnight (since there's no "scheduling" for peak/offpeak like in WM I assumed this shouldn't happen?) which may account for the minimal discharge.

All in all very strange, seems like I am not the only one with these problems - maybe I'll try get another battery and see what happens!
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
The thing about the battery in a smart phone is that it has a micro chip in it, and the phone reads info from it to give us the battery meter(this is true of any phone, actually)... your LiPo charger reads charge in a similar manner, only it doesn't talk with the batteries chip, instead it does it's own thing(I will spare the details)

With this in mind, what you want to do to get the most out of your battery is get the chip in the battery, and in turn the "circuit" it completes with the phone properly calibrated. To do this, you want to run the phone's battery down until it turns itself off. Do a battery pull and let it sit for a little bit (at least 30 seconds, I usually wait several minutes)... then, put the battery back in, and turn the phone on. One of two things will happen, it will either power off before fully booting, or if it does not you will want to use the phone until it powers off again.

At this point, pull the battery again and let it sit out of the phone for a bit again. Then put it back in, and without trying to power the phone on, put it on the charger and leave it on the charger until it is fully charged "green light comes on" plus a couple hours.(best to leave it on the charger overnight) At this point, take it off the charger, and then turn the phone.

This will properly set the low point and the high point for the battery stats. Do not do this a lot, it is bad for a LiIon battery to be "deep cycled", which this comes really close to doing. Ultimately, the phone is not going to charge the battery as high as a LiPo charger will, nor will it discharge it as low, because unlike an RC car's batteries that are used for rapid discharge, these batteries are designed and used in a slow long term discharge.
[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
Thanks, I'll try that myself :)

Do you run any risk of damaging the battery when charging with a LiPo?
[Nexus One General] nuc70st:
How to Make Your Cell Phone Battery Last Longer when you need it the most

Tips: How to Make Your Cell Phone Battery Last Longer when you need it the most:

1. Always try to drain your battery or wait till its 15% or below then charge your phone. Its very important to turn the phone off before you plug it to charge. This help maximizing your battery charge.

2. Stop searching for a signal. When you are in an area with poor or no signal, your phone will constantly look for a better connection, and will use up all your power doing so.

3. Switch off the vibrate function on your phone, and use just the ring tone instead.

4. Turn off your phone's back light.

5. Avoid using unnecessary features. If you know it will be a while before your phone’s next charge, don’t use the camera or connect to the Internet. Flash photography can drain your battery especially quickly.

6. Keep calls short. This is obvious, but how many times have you heard someone on their mobile phone say, "I think my battery’s dying," and then continue their conversation for several minutes? Sometimes, the dying battery is just an excuse to get off the phone (and a good one, at that), but if you really need to conserve the battery, limit your talk time.

7. Turn off Bluetooth. It will drain your battery very quickly.

8. Same goes for WIFI, GPS, and infrared capabilities, if your phone has these features built in. Keep them off; save more power.

9. Use GSM - Using your phone in 3G / Dual Mode will drain the battery quicker than if you just use GSM mode - have a look at your phones spec and you'll see it will quote two different battery life times - normally 50% more for pure GSM use.

Very Important:

Anyone purchase a new phone. Its best DO NOT USE the phone with the little remaining power the battery has. It is best that you put the battery in the phone and turn off the phone and change for minimum of 5-6 hours.

The 1st charge for the battery is very important for lithium ion battery. Leaving the phone off will give the full maximize charge the battery can take. Normal when phone shows charge complete by integrator light or on the screen means its 95% complete. To complete the 100% charge you need additional 1-2 hours after the full charge integrator show. Having the phone off also help keep the charge. A phone that is on and charging will never get that 100% charge because there is alway a little battery being drained just because the phone is one even if its plugged in to a charger.

If you see your battery is not giving the same performance what it use to. You can try this method at least 3-4 times for 1 week and follow up every other month. Meaning turn the phone off and charge it every night. It is best if you can drain the battery to 15% or less before charging the phone.
[Nexus One General] pzumk:
10. Keep the phone off, it'll not drain the battery at all!
[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
So one person says don't let it drop down low very often, the next person says let it drop to 15% all the time...

Personally I've heard not to let it drop low more often these days. The old 'let it decharge regularly' was talked about a lot 4 or 5 years ago... no?
[Nexus One General] jahmann82:
I think you didn't understand a LI-ION battery!!!

1. completely false

2. I've a mobilephone also I wan't to use it!!!

3. Maybe... Have you tested it with a ampere meter?

4. A black display is always a good idea!

5. Why not buying a Nokia 3210 ?

6. Better: Don't use it for call.

7. Correct! (If you don't use a headset)

8. See Pt. 5

9. See Pt. 5

A few facts:

- a new lithium-ion pack does not need cycling through charging and discharging

- Limit the time at which the battery stays at 4.20/cell. Prolonged high voltage promotes corrosion, especially at elevated temperatures.

- 3.92V/cell is the best upper voltage threshold for cobalt-based lithium-ion

- The 1st charge is no different to the 5th or the 50th charge. Stickers instructing to charge the battery for 8 hours or more for the first time may be a leftover from the nickel battery days.

Whole article on: batteryuniversity.com/partone-12.htm (by Cadex Electronic Inc.)
[Nexus One General] Makaijin:
I second this as well. The tips given by nuc70st is only applicable in the old days with nickel based batteries (Ni-cd and Ni-MH), which for the past 5 years mobile phones have in general stopped using and have shifted to lithium varieties. Nickel Cadium and a smaller extent Nickel Metal Hydride suffer from "memory effect" so it was important to deep cycle the batteries to maintain its capacity.

Lithium batteries in contrast should be treated in the opposite. You should keep it charged up whenever possible, and fast discharging (draining its charge as fast as possible) actually does more harm than good. Most mobile phones don't discharge it fast enough for it to be problem, but plugging a lithium battery in a purpose made discharger is still a no-no.
[Nexus One General] PMacca_1987:
I dont know if anybody else can try this with their N1 but I have recently noticed that when my battery does its initial.. drop to 95% before you can wonder what happened, I can charge it with the phone on and the green light stays on, implying that the phone is fully charged.

Then I turn the phone off and charge it, and the red light quickly comes on and allows another hour? of charging before the green light will re-appear.

I think i'll be trying leaving my phone on and on charge overnight and then turning it off while I get ready in the morning and don't necessarily need it.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
The green light comes on before the battery is fully charged :)
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I'm right and the other guy is dead wrong. Deep cycling was better for nickel metal hydride batteries, because it helped delay the memory effect.

No such issue for Li-ion batteries, plus charging makes Li-ion batteries HOT, which isn't particularly good for the battery. So numerous charges leads to less exposure to prolonged heating.
[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
Oh dear. Have you read this thread?

No, they are not good tips...
[Nexus One General] mark.m.moran:
I noticed that just last night! Are you supposed to keep charging it until its 100% or stop it from charging when the green light turns on?

[Nexus One General] pzumk:
We are supposed to charge until we get the green light, that's what the manual said when you flashed it for the first time. But that's just not 100 percent. I always load it 100 percent now
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
You might have changed the clock speed. Greater speed = lower batter performance
[Nexus One General] deekjx:
Its possible that the apps in the background could have something to do with it. The more apps you have going, the more power it'll eat. If you don't keep your tasks trimmed to a minimum, the system will leave several of them running in the background at one time. Some apps won't eat much power in the background at all, others eat more.

I try to make sure that no app that is subsidized via advertisement is left running. I believe they continue to up date their adverts in the background.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Which ever you're happy with really.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
When the phone's on and charging, the light turns green at 90%, so you know it's got most of its charge.

When the phone's off and charging, the light turns green only at 100% (which is how you'd be charging when you first got the phone and followed the manual's directions).
