Also, can't seem to find a way to kill Sense...wanted to check out vanilla Android 2.1 but if I remove the defaults from HTC Sense and kill the app it just restarts...
[Desire General] er_yeah:
Hey guys could you tell me which ebay user you bought the protectors from? I have ordered some too and my desire is coming on monday...

I bought from protectionfilms24, if they're too small I'll have to complain!

Thanks :)
[Desire General] thedalmeny:
Thats the one bud - rip off.. I cba chasing a refund for the sake of £2.50, as it'll mean sending them back.
[Desire General] Ghisy:
Yup, they're the same ones I got as well, same Ebay seller.

Bummer, now I wonder where to find good ones. Maybe the official ones on play.com?

[Desire General] er_yeah:
shucks. what a rip off!! I think I'll go to play.com to order the official ones then. On another note, is everyone who's unlocking pretty much stuck on doing it through t-mobile then?
[Desire General] Ghisy:
I emailed the seller, they said they're gonna check if they didn't send me the wrong size. They replied only a couple of hours after I emailed them so I guess they're pretty trustworthy, at least on this.

Just fyi, the protectors I have are 52*31 mm in size.

Anyone know of a way to set the loud speaker to permanently on ?

I have tested auto speaker on from this forum but it dosen't work
[Nexus One General] arimus:
I got the Nexus 1 and the dock, it came with cable for Audio, I also have a cable for audio and video (from the N97) does the Nexus and dock support video to a TV or stereo ? or is it just audio from the dock ? how about the nexus itself will if I hookup the cable for video and audio will it do it or just does audio ?

thanks
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Have you ever seen audio AND video out of a 3.5mm plug? Nope...
[Nexus One General] arimus:
Never mind
[Nexus One General] arimus:
What ? !!! Are you serious or joking ? as I posted above I have a cable that came with the Nokia N97 it is a 3.5 mm plug, and YES it does audio AND video at the same time, its a feature on the Nokia's called TV out, this has been offered on the Nokia's for a while now, some models even include the cable for it (like mine did), I have watched many videos from my N97 AND N79, hooked up to a TV and get audio AND video from the 3.5mm plug, I just wanted to know if anyone knows if the Nexus Dock do video or is it just for audio, I have not tried it because I am afraid I might screw up something on the N1.
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
Most of Nokia phones use the 3.5 mm jack for TV out... I've used 5800 and it does use the 3.5 mm jack for video out....
[Nexus One General] scuzzy19:
Research is critical, video out from a 3.5mm plug has been around for years
[Nexus One General] scuzzy19:
I'm about 100% positive that its audio only, if you look at the specs for the dock it has no support for video out

check out the info here

http://www.google.com/support/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=167603
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Fair argument... I should have researched. I've never actually seen video and audio out of a headphone jack... but fortunately, my lack of research in this case doesn't change the fact that the desktop dock doesn't do video. I am intrigued though...and now I'm going to Google it, lol...

The real question is, why hasn't anyone besides Nokia done this?

Absolutely

NO

reason whatsoever for any phone to come out nowadays without TV-out.
[Nexus One General] cymru:
Apple have done it aswell...

I know for a fact the iPod video had this. The Classic and iPhone may well do aswell
[HD2 General] richjones19772000:
hi just wondered if this was possible in anyway??
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
There are a couple other threads asking this same question... a simple search could have answered your question.

No, there are no N64 emulators for the HD2 currently. There is a great playstation emulator, though.
[HD2 General] richjones19772000:
ok thanks whats the playstation emulator called please??
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
fpsece... it works great with the hd2. can play most psx games at full speed.
[HD2 General] brett_day:
how would one get the psx emulator and how would you install it?
[HD2 General] toxtrepla:
google the emulator's name... go to the emulator homepage... read the MANY faqs in their forums... watch their YouTube videos.. etc..

Search a little better next time though..
[HD2 General] murgers:
Hi Everyone,

I really hope this hasn't been asked before, I have, of course, tried searching but it's a complicated issue to search for. I posted a similar question in the Q&A thread before I did some more investigating but received no response.

I love my HD2 when it's on top form but it only seems to run like this for a maximum of 24h. After this the memory usage goes up from about 48% to 58% with nothing running and everything responds terrible slowly. The most noticeable/irritating issue is when trying to type a text message. Each key takes about a second to respond and it is so slow that if I type at normal speed it misses all the spaces I type and I end up with just one long garbled word. It is not just this that slows however, it's the entire phone. Navigating tabs in sence, flicking through texts, using and closing applications, scrolling up and down anything, the weather animation, Duttys task manager all become unusable. As soon as I soft reset it's fine again.

Incidentally the phone behaved exactly the same before I upgraded to the 1.66 Vodafone ROM (from 1.43). I always hoped the ROM upgrade would fix the problem but it did not.

Since posting the original question (where I was suspecting an app or manilla tweak to be the cause) I decided to hard reset and not install anything to see if the issue persisted. It did.

So, has anyone else had this problem. Should I be thinking about sending it back to HTC. I only hard reset this morning and since then have setup email, synced with myphone, setup wireless and setup facebook, twitter and youtube in sence and listened to some music already on my SD card. nothing else. and now it's ridiculously slow again.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

Murg
[HD2 General] Archer:
It does sound faulty I'm afraid. If a hard reset doesn't fix it then it's probably the device. You could try a custom ROM, but it probably wouldn't fix anything, and then you'd have to flash it back to its original state before sending it away for replacement.

My guess would be to send it back as faulty. Just make sure that it's running slow when you turn it off before sending it back, or they'll most likely turn it on, see no immediate problem and just put the latest ROM on and call it "fixed".
[HD2 General] kpower 1978:
i have the same exept mine was fine on vf 1.43 rom. have hard reset and reflshed but no beter so i asume its the vf rom? keep thinking of flashing custom rom but never done it before
[HD2 General] murgers:
Thanks for the replies so far. i have posted this on the Vodafone eforum and sent it to HTC support so we'll see what they have to say.

Are there any Vodafone stock ROM users on here who defiantly don't have this problem?

I don't want to HSPL my device on account of my warranty. (yes i know you can uninstall it but what what if my buttons break, or my screen becomes unusable for example) cant afford to buy a replacement so I just ain't doing it yet. (as much as I'd like to)

If it is the ROM there is no point sending it back to Vodafone.. does anyone know if I can send a Vodafone device back to HTC themselves?

Many Thanks

Murg
[HD2 General] sleegrony:
Hi murgers

Im on Vodafone in UK. Have you a cleanRAM -HTC Addicts- app on your HD2? there are others available! :rolleyes:

In brackets below taken from info sheet on download of file.

(Release memory for Windows Mobile devices.

 Amazing utility which helps you to clean up the wasted RAM memory without having to restart the device and eventually saves a lot of time.)

If you have not tried using a clean RAM app, try search on this forum and try on your phone. It really helps free up anything up to 30 - 40 MB ram at a time

Hope this helps

s
[HD2 General] murgers:
I have received a response from HTC as follows:

Sounds like HTC are blaming the Vodafone ROM.

How does returning to HTC work? will i have to pay anything? Do they collect the phone? how long will it take? How can I prove the issue exists, do I send the phone 'on' and whist experiencing the fault?

As said before it's unlikely that sending it back to Vodafone will yield any results.
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
if you phone htc then they will send someone to yours to pick up the phone in a few days. the whole process takes about a couple weeks and then they ship it back to you

when i sent my phone off for repair i went into a tmobile (my operator) shop and they sent it off for me, and then got a text back when the phone was back, i went back to the shop to pick it up

the whole process took 13 days

this did not solve my problem so i went back to a tmobile shop and am getting a full exhange (swapping for a new phone) on wednesday

hope this helps

its all very simple
[HD2 General] Hamburg:
Theres a very simple fix... clear your text messages.

This was my issue too which was addressed in another post. When my phone synced with MyPhone, it downloaded thousands of messages and caused major problems. the reason I didn't have issues on my tilt has something to do with sense integration. another option is to disable the sense text messenger app and use the default winmo app.

This is why it works fine for the first 24 hours. When MyPhone syncs overnight and retrieves your texts you get the slowdown.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] rathga:
I get this also. Have a t-mobile phone but since flashed it to xannytech, but I still get this.

I had suspected it might be something to do with MyPhone. There a good backup solution I can use that's not this ? Might re-flash and never use it again.

Does the OP use myphone too ?? Might be the common theme...
[HD2 General] Archer:
It's not MyPhone that causes the problem. That simply restores things that you've deleted. If you archive your text message using the MyPhone web interface then they'll be deleted off your phone next time you sync, but they'll still be available online.
[HD2 General] rathga:
That doesn't make any sense. I haven't deleted any text messages. The phone works perfectly quickly, but after a day or so it suddenly starts going really slow. i.e. it takes 30s after pressing 'talk' for the phone to start ringing, typing in messages is slow, the weather goes all stuttery. No programs appear to be running. Restarting the phone fixes it again, but this is pretty annoying.

I had thought it might be myphone or some other service doing something funny in the background. Any way to debug this?
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
as someone has allready said, i have Cleanram app scheduled to run twice a day and very rarely have an issue. Its all in the background so you dont even notice it running
[HD2 General] Archer:
Ah okay - I thought you were referring to the ongoing discussion and previous talk of how myphone was affecting the OP.

Why don't you just set myphone to sync manually. That way it never does anything in the background. I seriously doubt it's myphone that is causing the problems you have described.

I'd suggest uninstalling apps 1-by-1 to see if the problem suddenly disappears, as it's something that you have installed that's causing the problem. Obviously, if you find the problem still occurs after removing something, you can then reinstall it and move onto the next app.
[HD2 General] rathga:
Will give cleanram a go, though I don't think memory is the problem (always seems to be plenty free when it slows down) - but worth a try!

Not sure it is something installed either, as I don't really have much installed other than myphone, marketplace, google maps and like one game. .... other than of course what came with Xannytech's ROM, but had same issue before and after I put this on anyhow

cheers
[HD2 General] rathga:
Just happened again and tried cleanram, but did not help. It's like something is really hogging the CPU and everything responds slowly, but nothing is running in task manager.

Does anyone know if there is there anyway to show what services are running? Or any other way to debug?

thanks
[HD2 General] Hamburg:
@rathga

how many text messages are stored on your device?

I have a suspicion that perhaps you didn't grasp what I was saying regarding Myphone.
[HD2 General] kopite100:
Hi Rathga - My HD2 does exactly the same thing, with absolutely exactly the same symptoms :( I've never used myphone though.

I'm on stock O2 (1.43?) and have only really installed TomTom, Hotfixes and Ranster Device Reset (to cope with this issue!)

Often after I keep using it I get prompted to send a debug message to MS with an error in filesys.exe - I'll update this with full details when it happens next

I'm installing this cleanram to see if it helps somehow
[HD2 General] andyk159:
Try looking at this thread in the HD2 General forum (sorry can't post links)

'CPU usage is 100% when running Opera'

This was causing me some problems. Clearing the Opera cache certainly seemed to work.

Andy.
[HD2 General] murgers:
Hi,

Don't know if anyone is interested any more or still having this problem but I realised I didn't post a resolution to the problem when I figured out that was causing it.

The Problem was caused by...... Dah Dah Dah.....TEXT MESSAGES.

I had about 1000 text messages shared between the inbox and outbox and apparently this was way too much for the phone to cope with. This really annoyed me as I never had to delete them on my TyNn II (or any other phone I've ever owned for that matter), Iphone and Android users never have to delete them what what is with that!!!.

Sure enough after using MyPhone to 'Archive' the texts the phone sprang back to it speedy old self. Put them back on and Bam... slows to a stop over the course of an hour or so. I don't understand why this happens but I am 100% confident that this was the source of all the problems.

I Still have to archive my texts as I notice it starting to slow down when I reach about 500ish. Very Annoying.

Murg
[HD2 General] troed:
Try as follows:

Get a junk cleaner and clean all temps

Get SKTools do a Autoclean and switch on all shadow-background services.

This might help to get Your HD2 running smooth as mine for weeks .............
[Desire General] trice1921:
Like a lot of people on this board i got my T-mobile Desire delivered this morning. I started downloading all my apps from the market place, and noticed some are missing. It's not just paid apps, but free ones as well. Has anyone else noticed this?

I can't find:

Record It (paid)

Battle for Mars (paid)

Tapatalk (paid or free)

and others. Can anyone else see these in the market?
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
I'm also noticing this but i thought it was just paid apps. Can't find abduction or what the doodle. There's also no top paid option when going through the categories
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
I'm not at home, typing this from the desire. Might be a good idea to try and install another version of market.apk
[Desire General] deovferreira:
It just might be that these applications aren't compatible with Android 2.1 targets.
[Desire General] Karolis:
I don't think it's a compatibility issue. Why would they disable paid apps tab then? There's something fishy going on.

I can't find half of my apps, even the one I've paid for while on G1!
[Desire General] EroThraX:
Those 3 apps you listed are missing from my market place but I still have the 'Top Paid' tab, I don't know why you are missing that but the applications are probably due to compatibility.
[Desire General] trice1921:
I've had this problem before on my hero with some custom roms, never found a way to fix it.

And if i remember correctly when the hero was first launched some people on orange or t-mobile where having problems with missing market apps.
[Desire General] aidanbree:
National Rail for UK train enquiries is missing from the market too :(
[Desire General] Karolis:
I have removed content lock from my t-mobile account and now I get all tabs in the market. But I still can't see certain apps.
[Desire General] Belynda:
Something strange or I am having yet another senior moment.

I went in to Manage my applications and in there is Ringtone Trimmer, I thought I would make me some ringtones, looked for it in programmes and it is not there. I then thought it must be in Marketplace but alas no!! How can I have an application in Manage my applications and yet not have the application????
[Desire General] EroThraX:
Go to the music app, play a song and then try to set it as a ringtone, it will give you the trimming options.
[Desire General] mhewitson:
Klaxon is version 427 from the market on my G1, but a much older 310 for the desire....

Im finding this on a few different apps and am not sure why...
[Desire General] Baldyman1966:
I think we have run into this problem before. If I remember rightly (please feel free to correct me if not) it has to do with Google not recognising the phone correctly when you access the store. I believe this is a server sided fix that Google have to do.

Like I said, correct me if I am wrong.
[Desire General] Arthur Hucksake:
I contacted T Mobile about the issue and they said google approved the rom so the issue must be with the apps / developers.

Great load of help that is. ffs!
[Desire General] badgerz:
I noticed the same, can however install it from here: nationalrail . ktbm . com
[Desire General] mhewitson:
For non-paid apps its not such a difficulty getting them from elsewhere, and installing via Astro or ADB, but for PAID apps(like klaxon) to be left with an old version - or unable to install at all - its a real pain.
[Desire General] codeXcalibur:
Seems to be a known issue, look at the android marketplace support forum of Google, they are talking about it.

google.com/support/forum/p/Android%20Market/
[Desire General] mhewitson:
looks like it will just take time for Google to register the 'fingerprint' of the Desire ROM before we get full access then.....

What a nonsense way to run the Market!
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
To be fair guys, the Desire isn't even supposed to be released yet.

Wait until it is officially released and if there are still market problems, then you can complain.
[Desire General] mhewitson:
Define 'Officially' - Its available via a reputable company (TMO) and as such should be supported 100%

HTC/TMO and GOOGLE should have had this sorted before it was sent out to customers.

Hi everyone,

I have been searching all day! No results.

What i am looking for is for my wifi connection to switch off automatically after xxx time if idle. sometimes i update stuff and forget my wifi on which drains my battery. i know that normally it switches off when device goes to sleep, but i set it to stay on in standby. useful when on msn.

Can somebody please point me to a solution for this.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jan-willem3:
Yeah buy G-Profile its just 5 euro. And u can put on wifi or of by cell towers time, day, calender evement, or if an program starts running or if your computer is connected on activesynce, external power source, under a call.

You can do the same for the volume, blutooth, etc..

Great program
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rajmek:
Connective Tools CT Scheduler

See here http://www.connectivetools.com/ctscheduler.html

Switch Wi-Fi Mode. This new action allows switching Wi-Fi mode on and off. As well as Bluetooth and FlightMode, this action could be used at night, for example, for extending the battery life.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Try this - it may help.

Go to the settings tab, menu, all settings, connections, wi-fi and click "wireless networks". Go to menu, advanced and then you can set "Turn off wi-fi if not connected in:". It's set to never by default, but if you set it to a time then wifi will automatically turn off if it's not connected, after that period of time.

Hope this helps :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] djet:
It only applies when there are no available hotspots.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Yeah - I just reread the OP and see that he's talking about idle time. I use this so I can switch wifi on when I get home and forget about it. It turns off when I leave the house, which is ideal for me.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] adeeb:
i appreciate all the suggestions. these are not what i am looking for.

let me try to explain this again. i switched on WiFi, useful it for mail, browsing etc.

left my phone aside and forgot to turn WiFi off. since the connection is not used for xxx of time , then WiFi should switch off automatically.

do you think this is possible?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mamumami:
same here, i want the same options, my older touch phones had it, but not this one, and i dont fell like installing another program just to schedule the wifi, when thats the only option i need.so now what i do is, Just try to remember to turn my wifi off, at night, and when not using. so your only safe option, other than installing external software is remember it. and it helps improve memory, so you'll remeber to take your pills when you get old;)
