Timeriffic is better IMO.
[Desire General] kmetek:
so sweet dreams or timeriffic for alarm and battery savings? :P
[Desire General] Afro Az:
For the ultimate battery savings, turn your phone off.... If you have it on airplane mode it is nothing but a glorified mp3/alarm clock. Turn it off and the alarm will still activate in the morning (or whenever you set it to go off).
[Desire General] kuztardd:
Really?? Are you sure?

I was under the impression that when this phone is off, your alarm will NOT re-awaken the phone.
[Desire General] str355:
with the phone off, my alarm doesnt wake the phone up - the alarm just doesnt got off ;)

What a pointless post. How about you go find something to do?

who ever did blackle and if it's popular is probs making quite a bit of money from that. everytime someone searches they will get some money :)

[Desire General] Afro Az:
Alright, it doesn't reawaken the phone with an alarm on. That sucks.
[Desire General] dieselboy:
Surely thats a fault right? Back in my school days with the nokia 6110 and even before that, a completely off phone would awaken with an alarm.

It's how I got up for school!

I have tried MP4 playback and in about 2mins 40s you loose 1% of the battery.
[Desire General] str355:
yep, it also earns the owner of that site money from google adsense everytime you click on a search link ;)
[Desire General] vlasac:
Now same thing from different perspective.

Since nobody keeps brightness all time at 100% we are closer to 5% savings per hour. But when you turn on GSM, WiFi, BT, GPS and CPU it is far less. Try same experiment with everything on.

My Battery usage shows display is using 4% of all consumption, so savings at 100% brightness would be less than 2% of overall capacity, and only if I look exclusively at wallpaper when phone is turned on, which I don't.

I would say savings are marginal, and I have black wallpaper from day one. ;)
[Desire General] streetdaddy:
I don't really get the point of blackie considering there is a perfectly good hardware search button...
[Desire General] frank_j:
For sure using a black background instead of white saves tons of power on AMOLED screens. I Google using bGoog.com on my AMOLED phone to save precious battery juice. Blackle is not mobile friendly and does not work correctly on my phone as it has white search results.

slcd?

Too bad i have SLCD.
[Desire General] Matthew1988:
Hi, every one !

Problem with your brightness/wallpaper battery consuming test is that it is way to short in order to arrive a such conclusion.

If you do the test a couple of time you will notice that you get pretty different result every time.

To get a correct value you must first calibrate battery

1.) Charge up battery to 100%

2.) Boot in to recovery mode and wipe battery stats and partition SD-card

3.) Reboot system

4.) Drain battery to 0%

5.) Charge again to 100%

6.) Drain battery to something betwen 10-20%

7.) Charge to 100%

8.) Start the battery test from 100% down to 0%

9.) You start with white or black wallpaper

10.) Switch between this two wallpaper colors

11.) Do the test at least three times on each color

12.) Multiply black results then divide on three

13.) Multiply white results then divide on three

14.) Compare

If you will do it easier for you you can get a "calibrate battery" app from the market that do almost as good job
[Desire General] Skrilow:
Yes,I agree with that but I prefer having a wonderful wallpaper,instead of a dark wallpaper,even if it consumes more battery !
[Desire General] jmcclue:
Whats partitioning ur sdcard got to do with it? Go read TheGanyMedes guide about batteries, tis very good.

And ur guide would take bout 3 days lol with all the charging n testing.

Just got an email back from HTC, i asked about the above, and if the phones supported the feature....

Answer - All HTC devices with Wi-fi support UMA/GAN, it's normally added by the network themselves.

My Question to the development bods...

There are currently one of two device with UMA/GAN built in, how easy would it be to isolate and port this software into other devices, as its probably generic to the o/s itself....

how can i find the coordinates for moving things on Manila?

I know that my device is QVGA 240x320 and i would make a grid for have more simply all tyhe work of customisation plus i wanna try to make manila 2D in Landscape.

Lo all,

Posted this question over on another site but thought I would run it past you guys, too:

So Im taking a trip to Europe (Germany and Italy, predominantly) and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with swapping out sim chips on rooted magics? Running cursor's latest rom and would really like to grab a pre-paid sim (apparently they are fairly common over there) and throw it in my phone and use it in place of the ridiculous roaming charges Rogers would try to ding me with. Is it literally as simple as swapping sims? What about 'unlock codes' (dont quite get what is meant by this term)?

Anyone have any insights/experience?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] suffeks:
Yes just swap sims assuming its unlocked. root and cursor is no prob I am writing this now from rooted rogers cursor magic in Europe

Sent from my HTC Magic using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] digitaljeff:
you would need to get an "unlock code" when you insert a non-rogers sim into the phone it will ask you for the "unlock code" enter it and boom your good to go. only needed to be entered once and then your phone is unlocked for good..you can get the code online for a small fee, or try your luck in the unlock code free give away in this forum..

have fun in europe..

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaziSoCaL:
As everyone can probably tell the live wallpapers aren't quite as optimized as they should be or as much as id like.. now that we have almost full 3D working on 2.1 roms shouldn't someone take a look at the original Nexus One LiveWallpapers.apk and LiveWallpapersPicker.apk and see if we can get them actually working the way they should (Galaxy)? its just a thought, maybe before we had 3D on g1 whatever the Dev. did to the .apk messed it up now that we have 3D,, just an idea, i figure it wouldn't hurt to try for whoever know how to go about doing that..

thx in advanced to whoever can get back to me on that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protomanez:
Cannon had great rom speeds for the nexus wallpaper(the donate one from the market) but has mem leaks. OE has laggy wallpapers. SuperEclair has them but are broken. Just wait? Something like this drains battery anyways, why do you want it? It slows down your cpu and pretty much everything is a downside. Just get a new phone is the correct answer for "true" non-laggy stable lwps.

"Optimizing" Nexus Live Wallpaper

Try that. I haven't used eclair in a while, but it made a huge difference in Kings 1.6.1.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaziSoCaL:
its not the speed per say and its not just the Nexus Wallpaper im concerned with its the whole LiveWallpapers.apk, im saying it may need to be looked over, and the rom wouldn't make that much of a difference,, although im using KK AOSP 1.9.. and i realize it does that to my phone but yeah i still want it, and i would get a new one if i could.

and iv been pushing the "Optimizing" Nexus Live Wallpaper v0.3 on every rom iv used since it was released, but again that version of LiveWallpapers.apk was created/edited before we had 3D and performance. so MAYBE something was changed on the original LiveWallpapers.apk from the Nexus One dump that is messing up the LWP's now..

the one that is really buggin me is the Galaxy Wallpaper, its has never worked since the G1 could run LWP even after we got 3D it changed but still doesn't work properly,, that's why I'm thinkin it has something to do with the actual LiveWallpapers.apk specifically the "classes" possibly the ".xml" or ".rs".. again its just my thoughts i have no real idea what i am talking about.

thx again.

hello:

Anything new about this? Native cab never worked for me, either because of the dial plan, lack of stun, sound too low, etc.

Right now, my best option is Fring, this is the only app that I tried that actually wakes up the phone from sleep, but lack of dtmf is a big turn down.

All others I tried, (agephone, sjphone, portsip, pocket talk) dont wake up the phone.

Now that development for WM6 is slowing down, I guess I better start thinking about Android.

Im running a generic HTC ROM on my T9193 model; go to the Settings tab (in Sense), then Personalize, then Vibration
[HD2 General] the_cool:
Using Resco Registry go to

Hkey Local Machine > Software > HTC > ezsip

Add a new DWORD Value string and call it "VibrationEnabled" (without the quotes) and give it a value of 0.

Soft reset and BAM!

But this is with Resco Registry, with another reg edit program, i am not sure what kind of string you are adding, hopefully it is still called DWORD.
[HD2 General] joshzzz2001:

[HD2 General] raven_raven:
This is really useful, especially because it turns off only keyboard vibration. Thank you very much!
[HD2 General] Mr_windycityxxx:
If anyone is still having issues with this problem there is an easier way without messing around with the registry. From any screen hit the Windows button to the right of the home button on the phone itself, not the touchscreen. Then find the "settings" icon and tap that. Next you will see a "personalize" tab and tap it, at the very bottom of those options you will see a "vibration" tab, tap that and you will be taken to a screen that allows you to change the settings for the keyboard, simply uncheck the box, tap done and your all set
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
I'm using the NRG ROM, and those instructions don't make any sense to me. Also, be aware that the stock TMOUS ROM (as I recall, I didn't use it long), does not give access to the standard "Settings" icon except via the Sense tab.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You are correct, on a stock ROM if I remember right you have to go to Settings>Menu>All Settings>Personal>Imput I think it has been a little while since I used any Windows Mobile ROMs now.
[HD2 General] Hotsnook:
Registry hack worked for me.

Would be interesting to determine impact on battery life.
[HD2 General] brucegil:
TMOUS-Sense Vibration Settings

This is an old thread but there was a recent reply. For the T-Mobile HD2 with a stock ROM amd/or the Sense overlay, go to the Settings tab, select Personalize, select Vibration and then uncheck the box. However, this did not turn off vibration for the Swype keyboard.

If you have another ROM, then these settings may not be available via this method. BSB Tweaks has settings to turn off/on vibration for HTC apps and calculator vibration. Of course, the registry editing will work. I have found the Resco registry editor to be easy and useful.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fx17:
I just installed the latest version of the fresh Rom. The page for the rom says it will automagically use apps2sd If The card is formatted properly. I use the recovery rom (1.52) to format the card, with a 32mb swap and 512mb ext. But, iapps2sd doesn't seem to be working. I have rbooted, and I have also used the recovery Rom to " move apps and dalv to SD", but the apps are still taking up the phones internal memory.

Is there something I'm missing to activate apps2sd, or move the apps over?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceger:
Everytime you install or run things, internall memeory is still used for data and other items that are not the APK file. What is the memory amount you show as free? A2SD only moves APK's to the SD. Additionally you can move the dalvik-cache there as well, but internal memory still gets used by app data, widget data, etc.. You might have a bunch of widgets storing lots of data.

Ceger
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguy83:
Sorry to bring up an old thread...

I gotta say that I think there is something wrong with the version of Apps2SD on the Fresh ROM - or something isn't configured correctly.

I get the same issue (as do many others from the digging I have done) - and I KNOW that the programs I have installed aren't using up THAT much memory.

When I switch to any other ROM using A2SD - with all the same programs installed and no changes in the partitioning - I magically have 140 MB free of internal memory.

Any thoughts?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sousafrui:
probably you won't need to by any app. in reference to office N1 allready brings somekind of office. at least mine did. only if you need highly especiallized apps... in that scenario probably will need to buy some apps. afirewall, doc to go (in case your nexus one do not come with office)...

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ralexand:
I came from a Windows phone and immediately bought Documents to Go for $20 since I was simply used to the ability to edit docs.

In the end, I've probably used it twice to open files, and maybe once to edit. I actually uninstalled it a while ago and haven't noticed it's gone. In fact, I rarely open any document that would even need the "QuickOffice" (default office viewing app, no editing).

I would suggest (at least for my purposes, and what I've noticed) is that it's probably more imperative to have a PDF viewer app. I'm not sure if QuickOffice does this because I have a specific app to view PDFs. I paid abotu $4 for the PDF app; there are probably free ones out there by now.

What other apps do you have on your list to buy? Maybe some guys on here can help you find comparable free versions.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] craigacgomez:
depends on ur need... if u need to edit docs on the phone... it's good, else if u only want to view docs, the N1 has a built-in QuickOffice reader
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DMaverick50:
This is accurate and ill elaborate. The n1 only comes with a document viewer. To edit documents you will need documents to go and the paid add on for editing docs, pdfs, and I think spreadsheets. The only other app I know of to edit documents is gdocs but to use that you'd have to have the document already in your gdocs account.

However I believe Google recently purchased a mobile documents company and I expect a native office application to be included in a future update, it just has to be because docs to go is the only way to edit those file types and I'm grateful for that app but it is not ideal.
