Anyone know how to turn off the HTC Calendar? I cannot stand it. I can't set the snoozer for 5, 10 or 15 minutes like the Outlook Calendar. Also, I can't add my own categories.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Instal bsb tweaks and turn on the

'Windows notifications - enable dismiss x time in notification'

tweak, and you will now have the snooze times back.

what is the right size for backgrounds for Android on the Kaiser? Going to create some new ones, I hope.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
640x480 seems to be the standard size, at least thats the size I use for my wallpapers :)

In Use : 43.11 In use : 56.12

Free : 96.18 Free : 51.56

I would like to stay so

Storage: 139.29 Program: 107.68

In Use : 43.11 In use : 56.12

Free : 26.18 Free : 121.56

70Mb as I can go to program,

Thanks
[Touch GSM General] !Aman!:
storage memory can't be 'shifted' to program memory (which the RAM). u can try some ROMs and see which one gives u the max available free RAM
[Touch GSM General] chota_shivaji:
- Such an option is not available with WM 5.x or WM 6.x.

- It is available in WinCE OS's control panel (whose kernel WM use).

So not an option for WM.

[Hero CDMA General] sfox:
Anyone had this yet? Basically after flashing EVERY version of Damages 2.1 roms and Flipz 2.0d, I seem to have this odd issue where I loose all sound input and output. I noticed first when I was using Flipz, but a wipe and flash of DC 2.05 did the same thing. Weirdest part is, that it's fine for a while after a reboot, then suddenly happens and won't work until another reboot. My only thought is for some sort of software conflict or something, but right now my Hero is basically unusable as a phone since noone can hear me and I can't hear them.

Thoughts? Lil Help?

S
[Hero CDMA General] DroidDhakan:
I have the exact same issue. Very strange and rare. So the occasional reboot fixes it but annoying at times.
[Hero CDMA General] wiszmaster:
I have come across the same today on the 2.05 revision. It started this afternoon, since I have had to reboot 5 times. The latest was only about an hour or so apart. When I make calls, I do not hear any sound, no ring tone, not the other person. Also adjusting the ring volume with the volume keys does not make any sounds. Even on my bluetooth headset I do not get any sound. No rings on incoming calls, no speaker phone ... absolutely nothing. This has become a huge issue an I'm going back to my 1.5 image at this point.
[Hero CDMA General] sfox:
Actually, reading through threads about both ROMS, I'd say there are quite a few people starting to encounter this problem...has anyone with this issue gone back to 1.5 to see if it goes away then?

S
[Hero CDMA General] DanWalker:
just a note, the people on the other end when making a call can't hear anything either but the call does go through. i had to use the g/f BB to call and my buddy thought it was his phone. I'm so mad because I thought this was a done deal but looks like I gotta go back to 1.5 :(
[Hero CDMA General] askwhy:
+1 same issue on Fresh 2.0d

When it happened it affected incoming and outgoing calls, earpiece, speakerphone, microphone -- the works. Person on other end could not hear anything either. Fixed with reboot.
[Hero CDMA General] Glod:
me and my coworker both have this issue with our heroes, he couldn't stand it and went back to fresh 1.1 and it went away

I still get the issue once a day, full reboot solves the issue.

I cant seem to pinpoint when it happens, it just happens.

it started with the first fresh 2.0 and then continued with every 2.1 i have tried

i couldn't find a post in this forum relating to a fix for this, unless someone can prove me me wrong and i hope someone does
[Hero CDMA General] chaos67731:
+1 same issue on Fresh 2.0d and DCv1

Same as others, a reboot will fix it but by that point you just missed a call.

Or if the sound goes out you might miss a few calls from not being able to hear the phone ring.
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
yes it is a very large issue. im about to run some tests and i will find out what causes it. hopefully i will have a solution tonight for everyone but its going to be hard.

also the issue effects all sound on the phone and pegs the cpu pretty bad. you cant adjust sound lvls or hear anything from either speaker at all.

im afraid the problem will lie in the boot.img with a driver for sound. because dc2.0r2 did have this issue and also has an incomplete boot.img we may have to deal with no trackball. anyways ill report back asap
[Hero CDMA General] DanWalker:
Thanks. You're speaking greek to me as far as the boot.img and all that but if you have an idea of what's going on I'm all ears on fixing it. If there is any sort of info we can provide just let us know.
[Hero CDMA General] chaos67731:
Im here to help as well, If you need any testers I am willing to do what ever is needed! Anything to fix this problem!

Here is the morph file that I created to change the boring stock charging battery icon.

This updates the battery to a glowing green when being charged.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] loefflerm:
how too install this? put it on the sdcard and do it in recovery mode as an update?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xombe:
No, you need to install metamorph.

After installed, place .zip file in your AndroidThemes folder on your phone.

Use metamorph to install.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] loefflerm:
got it thanks works great:D:D now i need a black status bar to get rid of the white one im not running a custom rom bone stock but rooted:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xombe:
Good. There should be a black status bar out there but if you cannot find one, let me know and I will make.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] loefflerm:
ok i found a black status bar but the clock and text are also black and cant see the clock or any text that show up can you make something in for the text to show up in glowing color like red ,blue or green?:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xombe:
Hmm... changing the color of text is unfortunately a little bit out of my scope right now... although I would love to learn how to do this.

Maybe someone can come along and help with this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
havent done it but i belive you need to replace an xml file to change text color.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Yes, you have to make changes to some files. Its not so easy. User know- fear has made a great tutorial for this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JaydenR:
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xombe:
He made a tutorial on editing the XML file? Can you provide the link?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] archillion:
didnt work for me? when i rebooted my phone it also deleted my wallpaper
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Hope I didn't overlook this...

Skyfire has started the alpha stage for Android devices! Sadly, I didn't have a chance to read the email from them until after the Alpha sign up had gotten closed.

Hopefully someone on here got into the alpha group and will be able to pass along the experience!
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
If it's anything like their WinMo version I'll pass. It was glitchy and made every web page look absolutely hideous.

Want to see what it does? Take a screen shot of a web page, then save it was a jpg with the compression turned up to max. This is what Skyfire's web pages look like when you're browsing:

If you're wanting a faster browser, use Opera Mini. It's in Beta, works pretty well, and doesn't butcher web pages.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Fixed... :D
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
I was trying to be sly about it...

And GldRush98:

I didn't experience that at all with Skyfire on any of my WM devices, and I have loaded it on a good 50+ customer's WM devices, from Snaps to TouchPro2's. It is the only browser that gives a truly full 100% internet experience on a mobile device. Opera does do some things better, like text wrap, but Skyfire, IMHO, is better overall.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Skyfire will be an instant 100% guaranteed way to watch Hulu on Android. I see no problems with that!

Your browser of choice for everything else, and Skyfire for flash content. Sounds good to me.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
So does anyone have the.. ahem ahem.. apk for it..

Sounds pretty awesome from these descriptions..
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Bwahahaha!!! :D
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
I am thinking they only did the alpha sign up for it, and haven't actually sent it to anyone yet, firstly.

Second, if it is like Skyfire on WM, even if we get the .apk we might not be able to use it since it might make you setup a Skyfire account and sign in... early versions of the WM made you sign in before you could surf, the newer version do not.

As well, being alpha I and that it is server side processing, they will likely be pretty hardcore in preventing a leaked alpha .apk from causing them issues (I am guessing either forcing a sign in to use it, or by # each one so that when you start surfing, the servers says "hey, there are 3 thousand #5's, lets turn off service to any Anroid Skyfire browser with serial #5)
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Skyfire ties all of their pre-release versions to phone IMEI's. Even if you get the APK, it will do you no good.
[Nexus One General] psylink:
ya i was pretty bummed to see i missed it as well

did testing on the winmo version, it was decent, just that winmo sucks

cant wait to use it on android, hopefully they open another round of applicants in the near future and its not closed out within 10hrs
[General Questions and Answers] dan138zig:
From http://www.wmskins.com/blog/how-to-increase-battery-life-of-windows-mobiles:

1. A Lithium Ion battery should never be charged to 100% or fully Discharged. The famous 80-20 rule is applicable here as well, though in a different way. Charging to 80% increases battery life.

2. Don’t wait for full discharge, charge it frequently. Keeping the battery near to 80% always, gives better life. This is also what many vendors claim as “memory effect”.

I followed that advice and then after a few weeks, when once I charged it to 100%, it dropped quickly to 80%! and has been like that since. now I don't give a damn to that rule and charge my phone to 100% instead.
[General Questions and Answers] dan138zig:
is that so? why? so i guess now my battery's capacity has lessened. damn the article.

have drained my battery to 1% and charged it to 100%. let's see how it goes from here..
[General Questions and Answers] ntavelis_pas:
good subject for discusion. WM user or not the battery life and the tricks of LION only a few knows.

1.i have two batteries for my HTC. he original battery and one with 2800mAh. Does my phone cofused if i change tha batteries aternately?

2. if ai want to work with my phone for hours is it better to connect it with the charger?

3. Wich kind of charging is better? with USB cable from pc or wall charger.
[General Questions and Answers] DevaVictrix:
I have the option in my BIOS for my laptop which says an 80% charge will prolong the lifespan of the battery.

Batteries must undergo a fair bit of research (for environmental impact reasons if nothing else!) and to have such a bold statement to me indicates that its an obvious fact to battery researchers.

Given ive lay in bed this morning messing about on facebook and setting up rss feeds on my phone and emptied a full battery I dont think Id ever stop charging at 80%. Ill just buy another battery!
[General Questions and Answers] Qazz~:
i really doubt cold weather improves battery life, numerous times my family and I brought electronic products to cold countries and the Battery life always drops at a much quicker rate
[General Questions and Answers] felixdd:
You are taking what i said out of context.

What I'm saying is that IF your battery had a memory effect as the original article claimed, then charging the battery to only 80 will create a memory at 80, which would be worse for your battery. I'm merely trying to point out an inconsistency in there article.

However, I went on to say that li ON batteries do not have a memory effect. So more relevant to the real world is the fact that our batteries will not experience memory as claimed by the article.
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
Two main things kill lithium batteries, heat and time as they promote deposits forming in the electrolyte, which reduces the capacity of the battery.

So, buying a "spare" battery at the time you buy a phone with a plan on using it when the original battery starts to fail is a bad idea as the spare battery would be slowly deterorating on the shelf.

Deep charges rather than top up charges are bad as they produce more heat inside the battery, although doing it if your battery doesn't seem to be holding it's chage is a good idea as it should recalibrate the phone's battery level software.
[General Questions and Answers] denco7:
To paraphrase the old saying, " blogs and opinions are like a##holes, everyone has one "

I have followed the links in this thread and so far I have just read unsubstantiated opinion.

I have used " cordless " electronics for most of my life and have used all kinds of batteries extensively as well as talked to company reps and battery " experts ".

Nickel Cadmium batteries had memories. The batteries had to be conditioned and fully charged and discharged. The new Lithium Ion batteries were advantageous , not only because they held a bigger charge and lasted longer, but also because they have NO memory. The latest example being, I regularly charged my Tilt battery to all levels of charge. Mostly 100% everyday and ran it down to 5% most times before charging it again. I used it a lot and charged it a lot. and it lasted 2 yrs.

The only difference I have really noticed in batteries has nothing to do with the way you charge it. It has to do with " getting what you pay for " I have had quality batteries really show their quality and $ 12 batteries give me up to and only my $12 worth.
[General Questions and Answers] jeh2337:
Charging Lithium Ion Batteries to 80%

I have a Nissan Leaf. It is clear that the engineers have spent a LOT of time thinking about how to maximize the life of the battery in the car. One of the options the car come with is to ALWAYS charge the batteries to 80%. In fact, they've gone as far as to add a button on the dashboard to override that setting in cases where a 100% charge is needed. According to the documentation that comes with the car, this is the single most important step to prolonging battery life. Next is frequent charges. Next is monitoring battery temperature which is constantly shown in a BIG display on the dashboard. In general, a good way to think about a lithium ion battery is that over its life you're trying to maximize the amount of power stored and then subsequently removed from the device. From the research I've done, if the "charging/discharging life" of the battery were cycles that swung from 100% to 0% you might get X kwHrs of power "moved" through the battery, yet if you were to limit charges to 80% and constantly charge it after each use, you could expect at least 2X! So it's a big deal. I live in Bellevue, Washington which has a very mild climate and have put 26,000 miles on this car in the last 2 years, making mostly small 3-to-20 mile trips, and I routinely charge the car when I pull into the garage, and would estimate that the battery has been charged well over 1000 times. To date, there is no detectable loss in battery capacity; the first indication of which would appear on the car's instrumentation when just over 4% of the charging capacity of the car has been lost.

I'm having trouble with my data connection as it keeps turning off. One minute, I'll be sitting there with H/3G and the next I look up and my connection is gone. I'll have to go into the Comm Manager and turn it back on. Also, when I reboot the phone, I always have to turn the data connection back on. I don't

think

I have any 3rd party apps that would be causing this.

Anyone have a clue what might be causing this? Oh, I'm running Elegancia if that matters.

I just installed the Kumar ROM and am having the same problem....

1 - Phone will show an "H" for the data but no connection

2 - Can't turn off wi-fi

Hosed..

edit - after a few hard boots it appears I am connecting to the internet for now!
[HD2 General] srgntdvs:
my phone is stock and does this also. very annoying.
[HD2 General] Blonde_sometimes:
Bumping. i have the same problem. is this has something to do with "power save on" option in B&B tweakes or "disconnect after 30seconds inactivity"?

any thoughts?
[HD2 General] agentaaron:
I was having this issue with the stock TmoUS rom so I decided to finally face the fact that I would have to HSPL and go with another rom (Kumar)

...and its still happening

I notice that it only happens at home when I am connected to my wifi network...my phone will show either an H or an E one moment...then I look again and only have the (Y) antenna signal. It will not restore itself for nothing when this happens, I have to open the Comm manager and toggle the data back on.

When im not at home and have the wifi toggled off and running on pure tmobile data service, I have no issues with losing it...
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Mine was doing that but after a few hard resets, it no longer does...
[HD2 General] jkiller122:
I'm on the bus right now and something similar just happened ,while browsing this site a screen just popped up saying data connection error,check settings and if the problem persists reboot your phone. when i went into comm manager data connection was off andwhen i try to turn it on it gives me the same message so i reboot and so far its working good
[HD2 General] jkiller122:
this problem is now happening all the time for me,anytime im on the internet,marketplace,wallpaper app etc... the data connection drops and i have to go into the comm manager and turn it on. does anybody have suggestions on how to fix this,im on the stock rom and dont feel like changing it yet.
[HD2 General] mrsteel74:
If you're in the United States there is a known problem with the HD2 and the T-Mobile network. I called T-Mobile last week complaining about my bizzare data connections problem and the chic said it is a known issue. She then knocked the cost of my data plan off my bill and apologized for the inconvenience, sadly she couldnt tell me when the issue was going to be corrected. I've switched back to my G1 and haven't had a network issue since.

This may be a super n00b question, but I previously ran a MoDaCo ROM, and was able to use the A2SD instructions from code.google.com to get my apps to store to the SD.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
1. Remount the drive by typing this command: adb remount

2. Enter the phone shell: adb shell

3. Type ls -l /data to get a directory listing of /data

4. Look for an entry named app. If the following is to the right of the entry, a2sd is running: "-> /system/sd/app"

5. If not, type the following commands:

cp /data/app/* /system/sd/app

cp /data/app-private/* /system/sd/app-private

rm -r /data/app

rm -r /data/app-private

ln -s /data/app /system/sd/app

ln -s /data/app-private /system/sd/app

That should, hopefully, fix your issue.
