[HD2 General] efjay:
Is there any way to change the default search engine on the Internet tab from google to bing? Thanks.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
yes there is

browse your registry to

HKCU/software/HTC/manila (thats HK current user, not local machine)

and if there isn't already an enry for 'internet.searchurl' then create one, as a string value, and in there goes your preffered search engine.

You must also include a '&q=%s' onto the address, otherwise it will not pass your query from the search tab.

Mine looks like this

http://google.co.uk/search?hl=en-GB&output=html&q=%s

which forces google.co.uk, with html output (instead of mobile).
[HD2 General] efjay:
Thanks for the info, now have to work out bing's url as it seems to differ from the one you posted.
[HD2 General] jakem:
Thanks SamSamuel, that's a great tip.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
this should work

http://www.bing.com/search?q=%s
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
just for info, to find how to build your search string, i just went to bing, did a search on 'test' and got this....

h ttp://www.bing.com/search?q=test&go=&form=QBLH&filt=all

the h ttp://www.bing.com/search is the search url

the q=test is the query, replace test (or whatever you used) with %s which inserts the string from your search box

and i just ignored the &go=&form=QBLH&filt=all

The only difference between with and without the '&go=&form=QBLH&filt=all' is that there are no sponsored links down the right side.
[HD2 General] simeezee:
How about US google with html output? What should the search string be?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
heh, keeps bouncing me back to .co.uk so can't tell, but one would assume...

http://google.com/search?hl=en-US&output=html&q=%s (can probably leave out the hl=en-US&

try

http://google.com/search?output=html&q=%s
[HD2 General] jipstones:
that great. i got rid of default search and am now on google.

i also want to get rid of the ugly default logo under the search box. i tried changing the size of the image to 0 height and 0 width but that seems to crash the whole tab. what can I do?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
there is deffinately more than one threads about this. Use the search. ( i dont know how to do it)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
There are 2 types of people on these forums..

The first type have a natural affinity to technology. They carefully read everything and educate themselves. They never ask questions, they just quietly experiment, expand their knowledge and get everything done.

The second type have no real idea what they're doing or why. They rush into things without understanding what they are, need their hand holding at every stage, and get on everyone's nerves in the process.

Which will you be?

What the hell is step 4? You haven't even told us what guide you're following. :rolleyes:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1wayjonny:
It would be great it I could set my phone on my VPN, which is possible now. But have that path accessed by the default music player as well as the storage card.

I know the pictures inside the MP3 would need to be sync or blocked but a 3G connection can handle 320kbps streaming no problem which is close the highest bitrate for mp3's with out breaking compatibility.

This would rock

Please

1Way
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
look at the orb client.. that is what it does.. you can have a home server with orb and share your music and videos, photos etc. over the net even through a vpn with orb client..

i havent tried any clients on my n1 however..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1wayjonny:
woudl still want this feature made but in the meantime thats for the idea.

Never tried Orb

=)

*** EDIT ***

Orb isn't for me and it has tons of complaints and not looking to use 3rd party software on pc but thanks for the information.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
i use orb for some things but yeah from what ive read the android client sucks

look at subsonic, its very quick and easy to set up, but you said no pc software....hmm, good luck and post something if you find it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluegizmo83:
I'm looking at doing exactly this when I get my replacement Nexus One. Mine is getting swapped for a warranty replacement right now.

I'm 99% positive this will work too. It will go something like this:

1. Establish a VPN connection to my NAS box that houses my music collection

2. Mount the smb share using CIFS (requires a rooted device with modded kernel containing the cifs module, such as Enomther The Official), info on doing this can be found here: android.doshaska.net/cifs

3. Load up my favorite music app and steam all my tunes over 3G!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluegizmo83:
UPDATE: This works, sort of...

Alright, so I have my NAS box (Netgear Stora) mounted to my Nexus One file system using cifs. I'm running Enomther's TheOfficial froyo rom, which comes with the cifs module. Here are the commands I used to get it mounted:

prerequisites:

1. WIFI Connection to same lan that the NAS box is connected to (presumably this will work over VPN also, need to test) EDIT: Confirmed this works over VPN also.

2. Rom with CIFS module compiled for the kernel (I used Enomther's TheOfficial Nexus1 Froyo)

commands I used to mount:

can be done from terminal emulator app or ADB Shell.

obviously change the IP address, mount locations, username, and password to your needs.

1. insmod /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.16-TheOfficial/cifs.ko

2. chmod 0777 /data

3. mkdir /data/mounted

4. busybox mount -t cifs //192.168.1.141/MyLibrary /data/mounted -o username=user,password=pass

5. cd /

6. cd data

7. cd mounted

8. chmod 0777 *

After this, you will be about to browse the mounted files and folders under the /data/mounted location either from the terminal emulator, ADB Shell, or a file explorer app on the android phone.

HOWEVER, here is my current issue. Hopefully someone can help me out here.

I can browse my files and see MP3's from the terminal or file explorer apps, I can even click on an MP3 and load it up into my music apps and play it, I use Meridian Media Player. However, if I go into Meridian and browse folders from that app, can I go into my mounted shares and music folders, and I can see all files in there EXCEPT mp3's. They just don't show up through any media app I've tried. However, like I said, I can see them just fine from a file explorer app such as EStrongs or from the terminal. Anyone have any idea why?

bump, need help
[Desire General] patp:
Since there now seem to be a few different firmware versions floating around, shall we see if any of them give better battery life.

Of course we don't have an objective measure of battery life, but we cna get an impression.

My experience:

TMobile UK f/w 1.15.110.10

Battery poor - It needs topping up through the day or I won't make it to teatime, worse than my Touch HD which was 18m old. Similar usage, ie push email, Twitter sync, intermittent browsing, an hour a day ebook reading.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
T-mobile UK same firmware

Battery fine, much better than my old G1, need to charge every other day (as opposed to everyday/overnight each day).

Uses (per day):

Push Email

Light Web browsing

About an hour of gaming

About 40 SMS sent

Twitter/Facebook constantly

About 2 hours of music usage - Spotify

Music using BT Earphones, Bluetooth on around 2.5 hours.
[Desire General] indyjonesUK:
That's a big difference in battery life between you two, I wonder if there is a bad batch of batteries?
[Desire General] Karolis:
I think it has nothing to do with batteries or software. It's all about how the phone is used, what the signal strength is, etc.

Mine lasts two days on moderate use, but I charge it every night anyway.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
I also have the matrix style live wallpaper running http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/fishnoodle.digitalrain/.

It may be worth noting that I no longer charge overnight, only charging when it's low and until it's fully charged (I used to charge my G1 overnight or basically when I was on the desk, it became overcharged, battery swelled up, would only last about 2 hours but sometimes it would last about 10 minutes).

I also have no problems with signal and am pretty much constantly on HSDPA.
[Desire General] cez10:
how long full charge takes ? at what battery % you start to charge ur phone?

did you charge till full since you first unbox your phone?
[Desire General] jpopgt:
I have my brightness set to half way and have watched a few movie clips lasting maybe 20 mins and have just done a bit of brief messing about and i find the battery drains to about half way after this.

I have not let it drain out yet but it does not look like it would last a day if i had to listen to music surf and do a bit of gaming.
[Desire General] choccy31:
My firmware is same but battery is brilliant for me, try using a power manager and maybe look at widgets draining battery. I'm not using any widgets and have net off when not in use.
[Desire General] patp:
I wonder if it's about signal strength. By far the biggest drain on a smartphone is 3G, and my signal is quite variable.
[Desire General] choccy31:
I've just came back from Austria where I was using the net a lot over there for various things and I can tell you now, the signals over there are top notch!

The speeds remain consistent and the signals never go down by more than by one bar.

The T-Mobile network works perfectly even in the Underground!

This I feel had contributed to my battery lasting so long the last 3 days!

I've already noticed more of a drain since being back at home today!
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Maybe about 2/3 hours? Maybe more, I don't exactly time it.

I put it on charge when it starts blinking so less than 14%

Yes I charged it full when I got the phone but that was only for an hour.
[Desire General] shure2:
I think if you continually charge from when you have 30-90% the battery will perform worse than if you charge it from dead / near dead. I have been charging my tp2 over night when the battery is extremely low and can now squeeze 3-4 days use out of it.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
I charge it when its below 15%
[Desire General] cez10:
great thanks for the info

:)
[Desire General] LuftWalk:
It doesn't really matter with Li-ion batteries. It is recommended to do a full discharge every 30 charge cycles or so for the gauge to recalibrate, but the battery itself has no "memory" effect.

There's no difference if you charge it from 70% or 15%
[Desire General] Bandare:
That must cost a fair bit on the data doesn't it?

I've found with my T-Mobile Desire that the battery is really struggling and I can't get it to last a day as yet. I spent 3 hours with a friend that has an unbranded one and I saw my T-Mobile rom'd battery life deplete faster than his doing the same things. I think the T-Mobile ROM needs an update asap!
[Desire General] choccy31:
Since my last post, my battery the last few days has been bad.

I've also noticed now that it will only charge up to 98% and will only go to 100% if i remove cable and put back in. Then only to drop back to 98% straight away after I have removed it and then drop rapidly.

On T-Mobile using the older firware. Have asked T-Mob if the Firmware is the issue.
[Desire General] stephenwilley:
My honest guess is that all you guys will see an improvement in battery life over the next few days. Li-on batteries do need a few cycles before they'll give best performance and obviously no-one here has had their phone for more than a week or two.

I'm sure as the phone is rooted/custom roms appear/htc release the kernel/blah blah improvements will be made, but if I were you I'd definitely sit out any changes made purely on the basis of battery life until you've had the phone a couple of weeks. If it's still crappy after that, then it's obviously worth looking deeper.
[Desire General] eLv./.G1:
I'm on tmob contact phone with my firmware version @ *.11 think some ppl have *.10 so not sure if the ota update will come to me but I've found that if I turn everything to manual update and turn 3g off when not using it I can get 3 days out of it with about 1 and a half hours each day of general use. Before that it wasn't lasting a full day! What firmware is every1 on??
[Desire General] choccy31:
Mine is .10 - the Battery at first was really good, I used it abroad in first few days and was great, 3G was used everynow and then, but wasn't a drain like it is over here in UK.

Now i'm getting last few days were on charge it sticks at 98% and drops pretty quickly.

T-Mob have asked me to factory reset it today and monitor to see if any apps are causing the issue rather than the firmware.
[HD2 General] jan-willem3:
Is it possible to set flash lite files in background you can make cool effects. Even my two years old SE k850i can do that. If it is possible you can make background wich are nicer and better then anmited background we have now.
[HD2 General] joefosho315:
I've successfully got gmail actively synced onto my phone now which is great news. The next step is, figuring out if there's a "search" function for my inbox, much like there is on the gmail website itself. You know, where you can search any term in the engine and it'll pull up all relevant emails. Does such a thing exist on the HD2, if I've got gmail being pushed to it? Also, I've noticed that I'm able to "set flags" on certain emails, which I was hoping to be equivalent to "starring" emails in gmail, but it seems that if I set a flag on my phone, it won't show up as a star on my gmail account. Is there any way to actually achieve this? Thanks for the help guys!
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Hi, although you haven't said what ROM you use, On the stock european ROM thee is a Search Phone utility. you can search your email by selecting Messaging (or potentially Outlook Mobile depending on how you have set up your email) as the type and putting the information you are looking for in the "Search for" section. The search string you look for is saved for future searches.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] joefosho315:
Thanks for getting back to me. I'm using the stock rom on my TMOUS device. I have it set up so that I may view my gmails through outlook mobile through activesync. I can't seem to find this "messaging" feature you're talking about though?
[HD2 General] joefosho315:
Does anybody have any ideas on the "starring" of gmails that I mentioned in my first post?
[HD2 General] Westie69:
just wondering if any one with this phone wouldnt mind holding the phone to there ear whilst the camrea focuses as mine clicks very quietly and just wondering if they all do it or if mines faulty!

Cheers Guys
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
The camera is a small piece of hardware held in a small magnet driven cage. It moves slightly back and forth when focusing.
[HD2 General] Westie69:
but is it suposed to click quietly?
[HD2 General] pettekneuz:
I wondered why my camera made that sound too :p
[HD2 General] jakem:
Mine's always clicked and I've never had any problems with it - I just figure it's meant to be that way.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Well mine makes no sound at all when i focus, and when i shake the phone (how this issue first came to light) i can barely hear it. Other people however have reported a much louder rattle.

If yours is noticably loud, and/or sounds like gears clicking, perhaps you have a badly mounted camera, and should get it replaced.
[HD2 General] Westie69:
ok glad to see other people have herd the noise i guess it just how it is
[HD2 General] ooFunk:
My Camera makes no clicks when focusing, but ive just deafened myself when holding close to my ear and taking a picture!! that shutter sound is LOUD that close up!!:p

But if i shake my phone it does rattle.. its just the volume rocker, but also the bottom buttons are a little loose...
[HD2 General] Westie69:
Went into the 02 shop and checked with 2 of there HD2 and they do click very quitely like mine
[HD2 General] -=IRoN=-:
+1 ...

a common issue perhaps ....
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Or how it is meant to function?

A mechanical/moving parts-based focus system will always make noises.
[HD2 General] espaleena:
I also can hear the "clicking", more like a distorted sound when focusing to near objects.
[HD2 General] ahmadssb:
me too I can hear the clicking !!!!
[HD2 General] espaleena:
I wonder its normal or not, cause I don't realize when taking photo outdoors.

Till I tried in my room which is very quiet & can hear it clearly.

Hope its not a broken mechanism or might just be the focusing of gears.

So far I've never dropped my HD2 nor hard shocking force to it.
[HD2 General] aegidios2:
Hi,

mine make a slight clic when focusing, but I clearly remember that my old sony W810i make that noise too, for me it seems normal for an autofocus device...
[HD2 General] .hide:
mine had a soft click too. but could'nt be heard when u taking a photo, just by holding near your ear it can be heard.
[HD2 General] mrlo:
Every piece of machinery that I have with auto focus makes that kind of sounds - Video cameras, photo cameras, my old Asus P535, so it is PERFECTLY normal.
[HD2 General] livanov:
Sorry for bumping the thread.

I guess then it is normal to have similar (but more quiet) clicking when camera is switched off and you put the phone one the table for example :)

If you are not very gentle of course :D
[HD2 General] dusan22:
Mine clicks too. Very silent noise. Can hear it not only when using WM, but also in Android, so i presume it's a hardware thing.

Sent from my HD2
[HD2 General] d0ug:
The camera lens on the HD2 is likely like alot of smaller camera lenses and CD/DVD drive lenses. Think of a speaker with the voice coil that moves up and down, then replace the speaker cone with a lens. An electromagnet makes it move up and down to focus. The clicking you're hearing is likely the mechanical system hitting either the min or max stop point.

I hear it on mine too, never really bothered me since i understand how they work. Its also why you might hear a slight rattle when the camera is off. The optical system is mounted on very light springs, its going to rattle around when it doesnt have current flowing though the electromagnet to hold the lens stable.

If you have a broken CD/DVD drive tear it apart and check out how the lens is mounted in the optical pickup for a better understanding of the mechanics

It might very possibly be a metamorph in that case. Did you try that?

Try this. It's a metamorph. Thus, flash it via metamorph. lol.

Yea its a morph...tested it on my g1 before i uploaded it so i dont kno what you're doing wrong

Haha alright alright I get it I'm a dumbass, no need to rub it in lol

haha. I was just kidddin' wit you. Did it work btw?

Yeah man worked like a charm, anything besides the "E" is beautiful. Thanks a lot

Cool beans! But here..try this. I noticed that you were using fasttest, so i made a new one for you that matches that. The one that I gave you earlier was taken from the stock android one. This one should look/work better. Try it out. And again, let me know how it works for ya. And again, it's a metamorph, thus it should...oohh never mind. I won't do it again. lol :p

Haha.

It works perfectly man, on FastTest and now on my current CSDI Remix.

I just put a new rom on my MT3G and it has the swipe down to unlock feature. I want to know if there is anyway to get rid of that feature as i use a screen password anyways. It's very annoying to have to swipe down or press menu twice just to get to the password.

I did some searching but couldn't find anything directly related to this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sanman1185:
idk if this would even help, but i was runnin the hero roms that had that feature, and i didnt like it either, all i did was press menu to wake phone up, and when it shows the screen to unlock (slide down) i would just press menu again and it unlocks it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KAwAtA:
lol..

I'm assuming you're using a hero rom, I dunno if this works but doesn't hurt to try! go to system/app/ and find htc-lockscreen.apk or whatever it is and delete the file. do a nandroid incase something goes wrong

and oh goodness, I just realized this thraed was created 10 days ago lol hope it stil helps though.
