and is it normal for this amount to decrease over time?

I've noticed when switching from rom to rom, that different roms have a different amount of free RAM and some more than others have that amount decrease more rapidly.

I'm back to my stock rom w/o Sprint apps, gk.031 kernel and setCPU and mine will be ~85 on boot but go as low as ~60, but if I go into manage applications or sometimes in SpareParts, it will shoot back up to ~85. When I tried Fresh and Pancake these numbers were significantly lower and seemed to drop of much faster than my current configuration. Is this normal behavior?

Also is this something I should worry about or am I just driving myself insane watching SysTray Monitor?
[Hero CDMA General] phiqtion:
i am using Gumbo ROM 1.5c FULL w/ Gumbo Kernel Tweaker Edition, at boot up i have about 70mb if i can remember correctly, used the phone heavily, mms, ebuddy running, and listening music from htc widget and i have 55mb free. phone is running smooth as butter and i haven't noticed ANY slowdowns at ANY given time. i can say this rom gave life back to cupcake, i'll be jumping to Gumbo 2.1 when issues are resolved.

stop looking at those stats or switch to my config. setcpu is a mayor player here also. good luck.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
Meaning? and I really am starting to think i/m just making my self insane haveing systray running
[Hero CDMA General] justinisyoung:
you really shouldn't worry too much about ram usage or task killing. android, since its linux underneath, runs the same whether it has 100 mb of free ram of 30 mb of free ram.

but as for a 'normal' amount of ram, it differs. gbhil's kernels have the low memory killer(android's default task killer, search in forum) set pretty aggressively, so you'll get likely above 80 or even 90 consistently unless you lower the settings yourself.

on roms that don't have the internal task killer configured, you'll likely see significantly lower numbers.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
Even with gbhils kernel's, I am seeing widely varying #'s. for instance Fresh ran at 60 tops with the gk 0.31, yet it dropped off rather quickly to as low as 38mb. Pancake hit 45 and I nadroid'ed back to my stock configuation with the gk0.31, Gumbo 1.5c seems to be staying at least in the 60's. But that is no where near the 80~90 you speak off....am I missing something?? No task killlers running just SetCpu and the kernels

hi guys

i got my service with t-mobile last week, and ordered the $9.99 unlimited

internet, first thing when i open

opera redirects me to m.web2go.com and says "Subscription Required" and the rest of the internet apps wont work.

the guy told me that this service only works with very basic phones like a

motorola razr v3..

but i got the service anyways, thinking that i may find trick that i can

cheat the system, well so far i havent found anything..

what i'm thinking is that i might have to change the firmware/hardware info

so the system would think i'm a basic phone not a smart phone and it would work.

i'm using the Energy "Leo" 21892 ROM, not unlocked sim phone.

--

i've heard that people with iphones cheat the system very easy

i know i'm not the only one with tp2 with tmobile trying to use their

$9.99 service.. hope we make clear a solution that would help

other users too.

i would apreciate any kind of help and might buy you a BEER hehe
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rossle12:
Go into connection settings and edit the connection for T-Mobile Data.

And then change it to internet2.voicestream.com

I use it all the time. 3G.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] atomiq:
wow, fast reply, how do i proceed to do that using

this ROM: Energy "Leo" 21892 ?

step by step, i just installed it :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rossle12:
Alright.

Click on your settings folder.

and click connections

After that, click connections

And then it'll say T-Mobile Data.

Add

Set up

Manage.

Click on Manage, and then click on edit for T-Mobile Data and put in

internet2.voicestream.com

Let me know if I missed a step
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] atomiq:
wow it did work!!

now i have the following questions:

by doing this am i getting bandwith that a 3g for smartphone ( $29.99 ) gets?

is there any cheaper way to get a talk plan, i picked the 500 minutes/Month

and i dont think i'll ever be able to use all of them..

can i get the $9.99 with prepaid phone?

--

i used the app called wi-fi router, routes my data internet to my laptop via wi-fi that's amazing.. compared to the rip-off montly service to get your own mobile broadband card that goes up to 50 dollars a month with verizon/sprint/att
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bigoload:
Since you have unlimited internet, just go ahead and get rid of talk plan and download Skype. You can have unlimted talk (US & Canada) for only $2.95 a month to landline and mobile phones. But if you also want a number of your chosing then you'll have to pay an extra $3 a month along with it. However, they do not have caller ID for unknown numbers (cost extra), unless they are already added to your contact list. Mobile Skype feature still needs to be worked on, but if your not interested then I hope you can find another way to get cheaper talk plan on tmobile itself.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] piranetus:
I got two free TP2s from T-mobile with activation two months ago using the WMDeals special. Currently, I've got a 1500 minute plan with unlimited messaging, and two smartphone internet plans. Total is about $180 a month.

Can I call them and change the smartphone plans to $9.99 internet plans or how does that work?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
I got a discount on my TP2, and part of that discount is that I use a certain data plan. They won't let you cancel that if your phone was discounted.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lysolflow:
also, instead of using skype...

can i use google voice?

also... i have the even more plus plan...

$30 for 500 min... $10 web2go plan...

how do i go about dropping the $30 portion and converting to google voice/skype? they will drop it if i call them and ask?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Wonderstruck80:
This 9.99 service is called "internet for phones" yes? Does anyone know if this 9.99 monthly charge includes tethering?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] starmena:
Google voice is just a call forwarding service that reroutes your calls to any numbers you want. It does not work like skype.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sh4d0w86:
would this be possible for at&t as well?

using the $15 unlimited data plan instead of the $30 unlimited data plan...

thanks.

sh4d0w86.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hocapoca:
Anybody know the answer to this question?

I tried tethering with wmwifirouter with this $10 plan on my TP2 but it didn't work. Not sure if there is a way around it or you just need $30 data plan.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] eugenile:
You didn't get the best deal then..

I got that deal too and got 3 TP2s WITHOUT DATA OR TEXT plan. You really just need to know how to talk to the reps.

I did it again for someone else WITHOUT DATA, but had to get text.

Your chance realistically of lowering your data plan is SLIM, because they will ese you have a smart phone.

You have to pull some tricks to do that.. if you wish to know more, simply reply to this thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] eugenile:
Im using a Tilt 2, use to have $15 data ATT plan, now using the $10 ATT plan. If you want to know more simply reply to this thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
No longer working?

I tried this "internet2" thing a couple of months ago and it worked. I have since read some comments on the Net that it was no longer working. I just tried it again (even though I have the normal data plan and don't need it). I cannot connect to the internet with these settings.

I wonder if T-Mobile figured it out and cut out support? Maybe they can read forums...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lysolflow:
does this apply to tmobile hd2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] markanthony123:
I am using the 5.99 plan on my tp2. I just use epc.tmobile.com instead of the internet2. Still works. I was thinking of going to Sprint for the Evo but I was reading of the speeds possible with HSPA+ and I think I am just going to wait it out to get a phone possible of those speeds. I might get an HD2 from someone off of Craigslist just to hold me over.
[Nexus One Accessories] mushroom1:
I just got an after market radio that supports bluetooth audio streaming & voice call. (Eclipse CD5030) After several tries, I seem to have it figured out so I wanna share my finding.

1 - Audio quality is ok. Acceptable, but not great. Bass output is fine, but treble is almost gone & distorted.

2 - When trying to transfer contact list from phone to the radio, bluetooth connection dropped instantly.

3 - Voice call quality appears to be normal. (i.e. similar to when you use handset / headset) According to callers, they can hear me just fine. Caller audio is fine on my end. I mounted the microphone near the visor, to the middle of the windshield.

4 - This radio can configure caller's audio output to only driver's side or both. But output is for front speakers only.

5 - This radio doesn't pipe phone's ringtone through. So you only get basic ringtone that comes with the radio.

6 - On my first try with navigation + music player, audio skip/drop out very often. On second+ tries with phone plugged in, no problem. -- I remember reading somewhere that max CPU frequency is automatically lowered when battery is low. This seems to make sense.

7 - I don't have a car dock for N1 yet. (waiting for Google official N1 car dock). Only voice prompt was adequate.

7 - You can skip forward/backward from the radio. But there's no pause button. The only way to pause is to switch to other audio source.

8 - If you prefer better audio quality, you can plug the phone into radio's USB port and enable USB storage mode. It will play music off the phone's memory card. -- Or just plug the 3.5mm cable to the phone, but you lose ability to control what is played.

9 - When using BT audio streaming, it doesn't display song's name. Just your phone's BT name.

That's hit. Hope it's useful for people looking to use/get BT car radio with N1.
[Nexus One Accessories] zjchaser:
After having the phone for a while today was the first day I did this with mine as well, also an Eclipse head unit.

My findings were pretty much the exact same. I did get a kick out of playing pandora out of the car stereo though while running navigation and it all working just perfectly.

Audio could be improved but it really is pretty cool.
[Nexus One Accessories] trinode:
for those not yet purchased.

Kenwood BT8044U

Audio quality excellent, does have pause, phonebook works, and works with car steering controls (with adapter) :D
[Nexus One Accessories] infinityhombre:
Took awhile but the N1 works with MS Sync in my girlfriends fusion and in my Escape with an after market JVC with the bluetooth addon.
[Nexus One Accessories] bball:
This sounds very promising.

Have you had a chance to try it with any of the GPS navigations apps? I would reallly like to know if you can play music and navigate at the same time with the GPS instructions coming through via BT as well ...
[Nexus One Accessories] TailsNeon556:
this thread is making me want to dump my 2004 ish alpine head unit for something newer with BT... argggh
[Nexus One Accessories] trinode:
Works just fine, I play music and navigate with andnav2 only issue is that both music and andnav are classed under "media volume" so I can't make the navigation louder in relation to the music.

- Anthony
[Nexus One Accessories] krohnjw:
This - I use co-pilot and Google's Navigation as well as stream music and it works quite well. I do wish there was a different volume toggle between music/nav but other than that it works quite well.
[Nexus One Accessories] bball:
Thanks guys, sounds good.
[Nexus One Accessories] zjchaser:
my navigation volume is seperate of the media volume.
[Nexus One Accessories] rashid11:
For those looking for a simpler solution, see my post on Kensington Liquidaux BT car adapter. U$25 delivered, very stylish design, works great. BUT, you'd need either an aux input or go with a tape adapter or an external FM transmitter.
[Touch2 General] amintofu:
how do i change message ringtone to mp3? someone help me plssssssss! :(
[Touch2 General] david2e:
hey

just put the .mp3 in the documents folder on your phone

;)
[Touch2 General] gazzacbr:
you should have a My Documents\My Ringtones (preferred) or there is a Windows\Rings, either one will do.

then go to settings, sounds, notifications tab, from Event: drop down select Phone: Incoming call.
[Touch2 General] donSjon:
the Q is for atext message not an incoming call..

So this won't help.

As far as i now, you cannot use an mp3 for this.

change it into a WAV frmat and it will work.

it might be possible you need to put it in a special location (such as the windows folder or the my documents folder)
[Touch2 General] Weznezz:
Yeah it's possible,

either do as gazzacbr said, but choose "Messaging: New text message" you can change almost all the phones sounds here...

I preffer this easier way (for me)

Slide to settings > Press Sounds > Scroll to bottom for "Notification Sounds" > Press the notification you want to change and select it off the list

If the mp3 isnt listed then use the FileManager, find your mp3 and hold down on it, when the menu appears scroll down to "Set as Ringtone" which actually just puts it in on the list of selectable tones. Then simply repeat the steps above. :)

- I should probably note, I downloaded an update off HTC's website that had something to do with MP3 ringtones but I could initially do this beforehand anyway.
[Touch2 General] rvrosa:
I can't find it... can you please put it here?
[Touch2 General] Gothik:
He said he wants a mp3 to be used as a new text message tone. this is something even i wanted to ask, but well it cant be done. tried everything. the patch is for something else. tried putting it into my ring tones folder, tried putting the mp3 (a 26sec file) into windows ring folder but na nothing, restarted still nothing. the only thing i think will work is to try converting it into .wav format.

@rvrosa its there in touch2 support.
[Touch2 General] Weznezz:
it can be done. i currently use a MP3 file as my SMS alert, and a different MP3 as my email alert.

If my previous technique doesnt work, copy the desired MP3 to the root of your microSD card. It will automatically list it in the selectable ringtones ;)
[Touch2 General] kwbdc:
under mobile device go into the folder that says application data then the folder that says sounds, put the mp3 in there and you should be able to select it for your sms.

Hey guys when I signed up for Google Voice it said sprint may charge me whenever someone leaves a voicemail is this true?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rockcrawler:
I have been using it form voice mail for 2 month sand have noticed noticed any new charges.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
I'm using it and I just got my bill it's the same.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] entropism:
You're trying to use Google Voice to handle your voicemails? If so, in December, Sprint started allowing unlimited CONDITIONAL call forwarding, so you're fine. UNconditional call forwarding still has a charge, but if you set it up the way Google shows you, you're fine.

For the record, conditional call forwards are if someone dials your cell and you don't pick up (aka, the condition) it forwards the call to your google voice mailbox.

UNCONDITIONAL calling is if someone dials your cell phone, it immediately rings your home phone instead. See the difference?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tristanvdv:
Hi All,

I'm trying to understand the boot process of my phone, HTC Hero, before i start rooting it and putting on different ROMS etc.

From reading, as best as I can tell, the Hero has its onboard persistent storage in 3 parts: boot, system and recovery.

Is this correct? are there any more?

Is this partitioning of the storage just implemented as 3 partitions in the onboard flash? or are they in physically different flash chips? Is it possible to write to all 3 partitions? or is, say, the boot partition read only?

[HOWTO] Remove the Hero's security and CID locks talks about removing 'security and CID locks'

As i understand it, a CID lock is a check the phone does to ensure the image in flash is approved by the carrier, is this correct? Which partition(s) does it check?

What is the additional 'security' that the phone has?

Thanks in Advance

I have an HTC AT&T Pure running duttys R10 rom.

everythings great but in camera mode I have no macro mode (little flower) for shooting up close pictures. I've searched all over this forum and the web and have found no mention of a macro mode for this phone's camera. Except review mentions of "with macro mode for up close shots" etc.

With a 5 megapixel camera I would figure that such a mode would be possible but I cannot find it or a way to make it appear.

any ideas? am I just asking too much of my Topaz?:confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] geraldf80:
So just like everywhere else? Nobody has any idea?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] MartyH32:
My personal view is that the auto focus does a very good job of focusing at around 6-8 cm from the subject. Thus not needing the macro (flower icon). My Samsung WB1000 focuses only very slightly nearer than 6cm and thats in macro mode but dues to wide lens on the unit it coin still seems further away.

Attached are photos, infact I would say that the Diamond 2 gets closer to the coin but does not hold as much detail.

I have not tried this with my DSLR but it would depend on which lens I used.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
It should open the control panel within the software, giving you the flower icon for close ups.

Recheck the key and see if it stayed = 1.
