[Nexus One Accessories] dannstarr:
I originally had an 8gb class 4 card and when transferring files between my Nexus and PC I noted speeds of up to around 3mb per second.

I recently invested in a 16gb class 6, but now when I transfer files I am very lucky to even reach 1mb per second. This card is incredibly slow, is this right? I thought class 6 were supposed to be at around 6mb's per second?
[Nexus One Accessories] craigacgomez:
strange that the speed is less that the class 4 sd, but u cud confirm the card transfer speed using a card reader

but in any case, you shud note that the phone limits the transfer speeds so u mite never get the full transfer speed of a class 6 card...
[Nexus One Accessories] dannstarr:
Oh, I did not know that the phone would limit the speeds, still, it does seem strange that the speed is less than my class 4.

I shall do what you suggested and try and get hold of an adapter to use my card reader
[Nexus One Accessories] JAW$:
Where did you buy this card from. If it was off ebay, then it could be a fake & that would explain the 1mb transfer speed.
[Nexus One Accessories] dysa:
I recently bought a Kingmax 16GB Class6 microSD card. While I was initially transferring my files from my Sandisk 8GB Class2 microSD card, I noticed that the transfer rate was kind of slow, so I decided to do some benchmarking.

Software: CrystalDiskMark 3.0

3 different microSD cards using same USB card reader

Card #1 - Sandisk 8GB C2

Card #2 - Kingston 8GB C4

Card #3 - Kingmax 16GB C6 (new one that I just bought)

Here are the results (Seq Read; Seq Write; Random Read; Random Write):

Card #1: 17.08MB/s; 5.13MB/s; 17.09MB/s; 1.05MB/s :)

Card #2: 17.23MB/s; 9.53MB/s; 17.23MB/s; 1.92MB/s :D

Card #3: 16.05MB/s; 5.22MB/s; 16.73MB/s; 1.02MB/s :confused:

Summary: My new Class6 card was about the same speed as my Class2 card.

I approached the vendor and they tested a few other Kingmax card that they had in stock... all cards were reportedly about the same speed as the one they sent me. They swear that it's not fake. Maybe its a bad batch of cards but somthing is weird/wrong. Anyways... I'm sending my card back for a refund. I am going to stick to my Kingston Class4 card now.
[Nexus One Accessories] scote:
1MB/sec can be indicative of USB 1 speeds, is OP sure that its connecting @ USB 2?

The class is supposed to be the minimum write speed, and I assume that to be sequential.

>Kingston

isn't that ring the bell? I mean they are pretty expensive....

I think if you go beyond certain level of quility, the pay off of such c/p ratio will get narrowed and you can't tell difference......

either go dirt cheap or go super HD expensive, middle is kind of "uh they are more expensive than dirt cheap but not even close to those expensive things....."

like my AMD vs INTEL war, cheapest AMD almost always beat middle/low Intel by cost + performance, or just go get best INTEL and enjoy the hell out of it.

happy new year
[Desire General] danr55:
Hi guys, I just collected a Desire from T-mobile with software build 1.01.110.4 CL131766 test-keys

I have a watermark message on the screen saying HTC Confidential then some codes which is impossible to remove.

I've tried a manual check for updates, and it says there is nothing, I've phoned t-mobile and they suggest taking it back for a new one (would be OK if anywhere had one in stock)

Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks in advance...
[Desire General] danr55:
I should probably also add that the phone suggests in a few areas it thinks it's an HTC Bravo (at least that is what the default blue-tooth name for the phone is etc)

:eek:
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
It's just a prerelease rom, you can either take it back or wait for an OTA update.
[Desire General] danr55:
Looks like I'll end up picking up a new phone when they are in stock next week.

Phone is currently set to back up automatically to the SD card, what does this actually backup, and how can I easily restore all my settings etc to the new phone?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Alucard9768:
Does anyone know how I can get all my facebook contacts to sync? A couple roms ago.. Damageless.... I had all my phone facebook contacts. but not the ones I just have on facebook.

Also.. Under accounts & sync.. It wont let me select Facebook... Only facebook for htc sense... Any help is greatly welcomed
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ajaholic:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Alucard9768:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Alucard9768:
I can see im not the one intrested in this.... I'm going to head out for a bit.. I going to figure out how and where to fix this... Other than that This Rom is the ****ing ****.

(had problems with tmob so I pretty much forced them to give me unlimited mins..)

I just wish i went for a 1 year contract now :(
[HD2 General] ShaGGy_UK:
Firstly avoid Mobiles.co.uk they are a terrible company to deal with for any issues, they don`t abide to UK DSR's either.

I got mine from them £49 for phone & £25 (600 mins, unlimited txt's) a month back in December, I tried to cancel after realising how much the phone relies on Data connection and although I had not gone out of my wireless range with the phone it had connected to the net several time incurring a charge, I decided to cancel the contract (within 7 days) but they would not issue a return number blaming Vodafone stating that because i have inserted the sim into the phone it is non returnable after telling them this was against the law they would not budge so I contacted consumer direct who confirm it was illegal to refuse the return.

Later I contacted Vodafone to explain what Mobile.co.uk had said about blaming them for breaking UK DSR's and they said that is wrong and Vodafone would be happy to accept a cancellation on any new contract and that she was reporting this to their contract department who deal with third party resellers (when the name mobiles.co.uk was mention by the vodaphone agent a co worker overheard it and said 'their ars**s :) )

She then said as I was being treated badly by them and they were trying to pass the blame on to Vodafone that Vodafone would try and help, she then said what she will do is add Unlimited data to my contract at no extra cost so that way I would not end up being charged if the phone connected to the net by itself :)

so in the end I have

600 Mins

unlimited Txt's

Unlimited Data

for £25 a month :)
[HD2 General] targett:
Or buy the phone on ebay for £300 (equivelent to £12.50/month on 2 year) and get a sim only...

[HD2 General] Chastiser:

what a great phone!

[HD2 General] cozzykim:
One possible caution, if you buy an "as new unwanted upgrade" and the seller decides, sometime along the line, to stop paying the contract the phone will get blocked on all networks.
[HD2 General] Swampie:
£240 for handset @ £10pm 24 months. 100 mins per month, unlimited texts and unlimited data via T-Mobile direct. That's what I went for.
[HD2 General] bennyhillslovechild:
I went with Vodafone - just before they went to Business only. Free phone, £35 a month for 2 yrs, 900 anytime network minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited (fair use) data, unlimited calls to landlines. Didn't think it was too bad - I haggled a bit and they increased my 1 month free phone insurance to 6 months.
[HD2 General] DrATty:
There are some great offers here. I'm tempted by Virgin, already being a customer. I do worry about what I'll actually get though. Are these phones hobbled like the T-Mobile version? Are the latest official ROMs available? Are they network locked? Reading other threads suggests there might be compromises to be made. I've used an unlocked HD2 with no customizations and was impressed.
[HD2 General] HTC_Junglist:
Ouch :(

Not alot different to mine but 24 months is a killer.

+ 1

(Handset free, not restricted to Orange, unbranded phone)

A friend has just had same thing happen & handset cost him £375!!!!

Uber ouch!!!!!
[HD2 General] Dexter_Morgan:
I can only find the panther 45 on 18/12 with 1200 mins and that is £45 per month at dialaphone. £50 auto cashback.

I have my PAC code from o2 now and was going to go through topcashback £50 with mobiles.co.uk on £45 per month and get the 8/12 half price.
[HD2 General] Deadgonz:
I got mine from Virgin. £80 for the handset and £25x18 with 500 mins and unlimited data and texts. Unlocked and unbranded handset.

Think the handset price may have increased slightly now.
[HD2 General] thom74:
I got mine from T-mobile.

1000 anytime any network minutes, unlimited internet and sms for £40 a month on 18 month contract.

[HD2 General] LordLugard:
Unlimited internet, but capped at 1GB fair use or 500MB.... how the heck should unlimited even be in the same sentence? :confused: These carriers should be ashamed of themselves.
[HD2 General] Dexter_Morgan:
Do you have a link to that deal if it's still around? :D
[HD2 General] HTC_Junglist:
looks like its gone back up to 45 & changed slightly, page 3 of these deals

Keep your eye out though cos I've seen that offer about 3 times now, they keep putting it back up then on offer then back up for some reason.

Actually, try calling them and quoting the ref. in my pic.

If they say they can't do it, say you'll go somewhere else, I'm sure they'll change it back to get your custom.
[HD2 Accessories] Chrisuk80:
tbattery 0.60 i think it is always reads 12296

it read that with my OEM 1230 battery

it read that with my ECell 1350 battery

and now its reading that with my new 1600mAh Andida battery.

i just read someone else say the same

"Bought 1600mAh Andida battery.

tBattery shows the full mAh as 12296. what is that."

I would like to know of another app like tbattery to read the size/capacity of my battery if possible!!

not just how full it is in %

also so far with the 3 i have tested it seems that my OEM lasts the longest since I had charged it 7/8 times and it seemed to get better after a good few charges

the other 2 are new so not charged them a lot yet

but my ECell 1350mAh is on its way back, been talking to a lady from the company and since when i use that battery and my phone is charging via the wall or USB my phone overheats and the light flashes so she said to send it back, i also asked about why it reads as a 1230mAh with tbattery and she assured my that is as as 1350mAh capacity but now i have read that others say all their batteries read as a 1230mAh with tbattery!!

could of been just bad luck but it was also £2 more expensive than the 1600mAh i bought!!

also not sure if i should let them become empty as i have read someone say and then i have also read to charge when possible as the batteries prefer this so if its on 70% i should not wait, i should charge it!!!!

thanks in advance!!
[HD2 Accessories] kilrah:
Use battclock to display current, put the phone in a state where it always draws the same current continuously (i.e in flight mode, turn off auto dim and auto standby, full backlight), read current and time how long the phone holds from a full charge until it shuts off. That's the best you can do.

Capacity = displayed current * time in hours.
[HD2 Accessories] wingtytn:
check out my signature for hd and hd2 for batt apps and for anything else u may like to know or find
[HD2 Accessories] Chrisuk80:
Hi Kilrah

To see how much of my battery is being used per hour I use batlog

what I am looking for is an app to show the capacity of my battery

since I have a 1230 OEM

an 1350 Ecell

and a 1600 andida

but with tbattery they all read as 1230mAh

so i need or should i say want an app just to see if these batteries are what I was told!!

just looked at batclock and that tells me how much of my battery is being used per hour but not the total capacity of my battery!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] touchtaz:
Hey, I think this should be fairly easy, but I've never done a mobile app going to download and try but I'm sure you guys can whip something out.

I have looked at the options I could find and didn't like them, they were more complex that what I wanted.

I want a simple Budget/Expense monitor that is finger friendly, ability to put in your budget/ expense amount, enter expense (maybe even option for refunds), a few quick options for category (gas,lodging, etc, maybe a couple user defined), Date entry (maybe a quick button for yesterday and today).

Here's how I envisioned it working:

two icons in Programs, 1 for setting the budget amount (and clearing the previous amount/entries), the other for launching the app. when you launch the app you get a fairly large display of the amount remaining, with a button to add an expense, tap add expense button, you go to screen that allows finger friendly enter of amount, tap next go to quick category buttons, tap next go to date, enter date, tap Done and it returns to the screen showing amount remaining. I don't need it to export or sync to anything, I have the receipts and cc statements, etc. and can file that when I get home, I just want a quick glance at how much of my expense budget is left.

I would have added this to the thread, but it would get lost in the endless amount of posts that come per minute. Disabling SD Card Notifications does not disable them, enabling and disabling again does not disable it either. Even with the volume completely off when you plug in the phone to charge it notifies you via ringtone. Very annoying :)
[Hero CDMA Accessories] robchaos:
If this is how you're doing it, maybe you should keep the first post update with verified bugs and there fixes (if there is one) as they are reported. This way damaged' thread will be less cluttered and people won't have to wade through hundreds of pages of posts to find something.

And my broswer hangs on the last leg, even though the page is fully loaded, I have to press stop.

You sure its not working. Its light sensitive so that may be the case.

Its light sensitive? Hm...didnt know that. Could very well be my issue, is there a way to turn it off? I liked in 1.5 how it came on by just moving it. Let me know my phone was responding and just....brought a sense of comfort I can never explain. I guess maybe being jealous over it whilst having the g1.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] wsucoug09:
Another issue I am having is at the lock screen. Before this update if my phone was locked, you press the power key and then either swipe your screen down, or press menu to unlock. Now whenever I press menu, it unlocks but automatically pulls up the menu on the home screen. Not a huge issue and definitely not complaining, just wanted to let you know.

I know i annoy you all with my trackball b!tching, cause its no big deal to anyone else, but to me, I could live with all the original bugs if the trackball was constant.

Yes. This is the only major bug I've had. It's so frustrating and has been on every damaged release so far. I've done multiple wipes and clean installs and also tried the uid mismatch fix and the bug has persisted. Maybe that's why Sprint hasn't released this update yet. Something seems to be conflicting with the dialer app.
