Yesterday at work I put a Desire on charge, at 5.30pm took it off, today at 5.30 the battery still showed as full.

I charged an X10 today, after 8 hours it was at 97%

Both of these were simply taken out of the box, charged, put an Orange sim in and left. Nothing set up, nothign changed, just out of the box. Going to see how long they take to discharge like that.

I did a hard reset on mine today, when I put it back on, I set up the syncs etc, then installed juice plotter and defender and left it, it was on 31% for nearly 2 hours, til around 3.30, then dropped to 30%, then I used it a bit and it dropped to 28%, then after that even though I wasn't using it, the battery dropped pretty quickly till I had to charge it again at 5.
[XPERIA X10 General] Belazor:
2h12min has dropped the battery by 5% with no usage other than eBuddy running in the background and occasional turning the screen on to check the battery meter.

Battery meter hasn't been calibrated yet, so I'm assuming it'll get better.

Overall it's a vast improvement from before, so I'd have to say that the culprit is Push mail.

jksukino,

Mine Ive been trying out is called advanced task killer...I hit it a few times throughout out the day. Im not obsessed with it, OCD-like...

I have tried a few different ones, all seem to work the same. I have auto-dimming, and backlight timeout 1 min, and thats pretty much it. When I first got it, I charged it fully, I didnt do anything till it was fully charged. I let it run low several times before fully charging again. I never let the battery go completely dead. I dont know if this will help but I did come across this from another forum. Im not necessarily reccomending this b/c my battery life is fine. But for those of you who havent seen this and having issues, maybe give this a try...( im sorry if this has alrdy been posted)

[XPERIA X10 General] Jksukino:
mm only use advanced task killer and not task panel because even if you don't run them at the start they automatically start up them shelves.

so only option on that would be rooting to delete them (what i'm hoping for)

or auto kill but not very fond of that myself.
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
First of all, hopefully people will forgive me for not putting this with the other person's issues with the phone book as mine are slilghtly different.

Basically, I'm not understanding what is going on in my phonebook. Previously I was thinking that my Desire was syncing with All Contacts. But that's not what it's doing. Well, at least not only what it's doing. These are some of the issues that I'm having and I can't explain.

When I tap People - Menu - View, is shows "Google (781)" with "show auto GMail contacts" unchecked. However I have 339 entries in my GMail account for My Contacts and 653 All Contacts. I don't understand the difference.

When I have an unknown number contact me, and I add them to a known contact, "Jo Bloggs" say, when typing in "j - o - ..." I can have up to 3 entried pop up of Jo Bloggs. But then when I go to my People's list, I only see one entry. And in my All Contacts list, I only have one entry.

When I go to add an unknown contact to a known contact, in the list that pops up of (I'm assuming) all my contacts, there are contacts there that I do not see in my People list. I have unchecked "show auto GMail contact" so what is happening?

Can anyone PLEASE explain some of this. I'm trying to clear up my phone book and remove these duplicates and dead weight that I can't always see. It's obviously not simply a problem of syncing All Contacts when you don't want to.

Has anyone noticed any strange behaviour in their People's list??? :confused:
[Desire General] stevie_a:
I also find the phone book confusing along with the texting

I don't know if it is just me not use to smart phones

my last phone was the Sony Ericsson C 902
[Desire General] mhewitson:
Did you sync with face book too? As that will added any contacts from their that have phone numbers.
[Desire General] stevie_a:
I do not use anything like facebook

so no i did not :)
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Nope. Haven't synced any social networking site at all.

I like to try and get one set sorted at a time. I have another account synced up for the calendar (not contacts). However they share exactly the same contacts so that wouldn't account for the mess of some contacts having no links, some having up to 3 that aren't duplicates. Not that I can find where these contacts came from anyway!
[Desire General] irkan:
Why dont you copy the numbers you have from your old phone to the SIM card, .. and then import those contacts from SIM card to the Desire (if thats possible). try this before syncing with Gmail and see how it works
[Desire General] skanj:
sorry to hijack thread but when you have an incoming call and you have a photo attached is it quite blurry or clear?
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
My sim card, and I think the sim cards of many other people, does not support multiple entries under one name. Nor does it support the amount of contacts I have in my GMail. Actually, I don't even think it supports the amount of information that can be held in phone storage/online accounts (stuff like addresses, birthdays etc)
[Desire General] irkan:
yeah i know, it has very limited functionality, .. but if you got a correct name and phone number in your phone book, than you can sync the rest from Gmail if am not mistaken, this might help in having multiple accounts and such
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
now this is odd. I'm finding that every test contact I put in the phone, is not getting updated online. More than that, when it syncs, it deletes the contact.

I just tried:

1a Testgeneralgoogle

1a Test

and a third one I can't remember.

They just seemed to replace the former, then get deleted altogether.

But when I added "1a Testonline" to my online account, it appears on my phone.

Am I really the only person who is having this behaviour on their phone??? Is it simply a setting I'm missing?

Can someone try to add a test contact on their phone and see if their GMail contacts are updated properly, please.

(P.S. I should mention that I updated the number of a contact from my Desire, which showed up online. Then I updated their birthday at a separate time which didn't show up online and was reset to the incorrect date I had online.)
[Desire General] Ghisy:
I'm getting my phone next week and I have a couple of questions about the phonebook too:

1/ I listed all my current contacts in GMail. So when I enter my GMail address on the phone, will it add them right away?

2/ If I enter my Facebook details and want to browse Facebook pics through the photos app, is it also gonna import my FB contacts? (I don't want it to)

Thanks!
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
@Ghisy. 1. Yes. 2. Haven't tried it.

I'm getting somewhere with finding out about the syncing issues I'm having. At least a little step. I've just found out that if I create a contact on the phone, and put in a birthdate, it won't appear in my online contacts when the phone syncs and it will get deleted when the phone does update. If there is no birthday, it syncs fine.

Kinda.

I'm finding that businesses are 50:50 when it comes to syncing. Some businesses are even not in my onine account anywhere and yet they're on my phone. And I have no idea where they came from but they are businesses that I have stored their details in the past.

This is almost seeming like a GMail issue as the phone can't make up contacts that I coincidently have used before.

Again, people are welcome to try at least to change a birthday or sync a new contact with a birthday and share what happens. I'd like to go to HTC saying the sync is not working fully, and it's happening to more than just me. If it's true of course.
[Desire General] who_me:
I also seem to have some trouble wrapping my head around the phonebook (it shouldn't be that difficult should it?) After having read around on the forums I went to my google account and spent a while typing in my contacts which have synced fine as far as I can see.

I've set it under People to show only gmail contacts (and not sim)...but when I hit the "Phone" on the homepage it still shows my sim contacts...any way in changing this to show only gmail contacts? I'm a bit OCD-ish when it comes to this stuff. I like everything nice and neat :rolleyes:
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
From what I've seen on my own, when you go into People - Menu - View, you can select which set of contacts to view. On mine at least, this config works for when tapping Phone and I don't see the other contacts.

Another aparent issue, I've just realised that I don't think there is a way to copy a phone contact to the synced (in my case Google) account. And on top of that, contacts that are sent via vcard, are sent to the phone. You don't seem to get an option.

But as always, I'm still trying to learn so I'm up for someone telling me I'm wrong.
[Desire General] cez10:
anyone got an idea how to get rid of all the facebook contact/numbers that come up using phone function ? cuz i dont have in my contacts most of the people i have on facebook so its slightly annoying having to scroll through all of them
[Desire General] who_me:
Yeah I've changed my "People" view to show only google contacts. Just weird that when I go to "Phone" all my sim contacts still show as well as the google ones. I want to keep my contacts on my sim...just want to hide them from view. Hmm more investigating required...
[Desire General] moteprime:
When you ad a new contact, you have to select "contact type" -> "Google" instead of "Phone", if you want the contact to be synchronized with you google contacts.
[Desire General] who_me:
Argh! This is really annoying me now though -

I've updated my google account with all my contacts from my sim.

The on the phone have gone to People --> Menu --> View --> Google contacts

And that lets me just see my Google contacts in people view (great)

BUT when I hit "Phone" it shows both sim AND google contacts - is there an extra setting that I'm unaware of in the "Phone" section of the phone?

All my previous phones had an option to show only sim or only phone contacts but just can't find it on the Desire...I want to try and avoid deleting the contacts off my sim as I'd like to have a back up.

The only way I can see myself out of this is by exporting onto the memory card and then manually deleting all my sim contacts...which seems a bit of a long way round it. Does anyone else have any other suggestions? Or indeed does anyone else have this same problem?

If it helps, I bought this from CPW PAYG and using my o2 simplicity sim in it.

Thanks!
[Desire General] Fon22:
Do yourself a favour,

Log into google on your pc, and go to contacts, and put ALL your contacts in there.

Then delete them off the phones sim.

It may sound long winded, but once you get the hang off everything being in the cloud, the phone works very well.

All my contacts now have pictures, birthdays, email address's etc on google.com.

And they all automatically appear in my phone, my calender syncs, all my contacts birthdays appear on my phones calender etc,

Fon22
[Desire General] who_me:
Yep I should just do that - just wanted to see if there were any other options before . I'm guessing that it works both ways - when i add contacts on my phone it'll sync with my google account and add them on there as well right?
[Desire General] n-j-f:
I normally sync my contacts with Outlook. If I do what you suggest, can I sync Outlook with the Google contacts on the phone, rather than the Phone contacts?

Unfortunately, there is no automatic syncing available for Outlook contacts with Google contacts like there is for the calendar.

EDIT: Just tried but no go. I set People to only Google but syncing to Outlook with HTC Sense synced the Phone contacts. Why must they make this so complicated?

EDIT 2: What does Show auto Gmail contacts mean? What's an auto contact?
[Desire General] n-j-f:
OK this is getting silly now. First, I set People to view both Phone contacts and Google contacts. I then linked the contacts together.

Now if I change a phone number in either Google contacts or Outlook, it ADDS it as a new number so both the old and new numbers so up and, of course, it won't update the number in the other application as it still keeps Phone and Google separate. If I change a number on the phone, it asks me whether I want to change toe Phone or Google number. It will not do both unless I do them both seperately.

The same applies to adding a new contact - it's one or the other!

This is madness!
[Desire General] who_me:
I agree - the android phone management is frustrating and takes some getting used to...I've now manually deleted all my sim contacts, and just hold all contact info in google account (as opposed to adding to phone memory).

But I've noticed that the phone is still registering someone as they were recognised on the sim (e.g. Last name, NAME/1 - thats how SE phones save sim contacts) even though I've deleted it from sim and have corrected it on google...any ideas on how to rectify this?

Don't worry, I turned the phone off and back on again and it's rectified itself :)
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
This doesn't work when you get sent a vCard. If you do get sent a vCard (unless this only happens to me) whether it's by sms or mms, if you click on it, it will say "the contact has been imported successfully." There is no option for where to save it. It goes straight to your phone book. (When you get sent a vCal, you do get options btw.)

Does anyone know if it's possible to copy a contact stored on the phone, to the contacts synced with your Google account? There's no mention of it in the manual.
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
FYI for people, I've seen some other people on forums asking this, this is HTC's answer to syncing All Contact and My Contacts from you Gmail account. Take home message: It's impossible to just sync My Contacts.

--------------------------

The way that google contacts work is that it will sync all of them and then create the

groups which are included in the actual contact and then create those on your device. ie.

it will sync "All Contacts" and the read from those contacts which groups they belong to

and add these if they are no part of the standard list and add the contacts to them.

To avoid contacts not part of the My Contacts group or any other group to show up you can

untick the option for showing Gmail auto contacts that you will find in the view setting

if you press menu in the Contacts screen.

Thank you once again for your continued patronage.

Best regards,
[Desire General] Raain:
Sorry to dig up a older thread, but,

Is there anyway to stop the phone getting contacts from your Google account? i just want it to Sync my Calender and emails etc, but not the contacts from google, since when i select the people app i get multiples of the same info from my phone and Google contacts.

I checked the Sync/Account setting, but there is no way to selcet to Only Auto Sync with Cal etc its all or nothing apparently?
[Desire General] :
you must be looking at a totally different screen to the rest of us.

In that screen, untick the box next to contacts....

it really should be that simple.

Hey fellow Geeks...ty for the continuous help I have gotten here through the years. Its been indispensible. Soo...I have a TMO TP2 and im currently using a Deep Shining rom...but it doesnt have Telenav which i need. So, can anyone suggest a good custom rom which has Telenav intact, or explain to me how to extract it from the stock TMO rom , save it to my sdcard, then reinstall onto the custom rom of my choosing. Ive searched all over and did find several individuals who stated that they successfully used a sprint Telenav cab on their TMO TP2 but i tried it and it didnt work for me...i downloaded it to my card and when i try to install it just says unsuccessful. Please, any help or direction you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the fabulous work.

[Touch2 General] jaqual:
Actually, it is not a plug-in by HTC, but rather the default Windows Home screen from WinMo Pro 6.5. It is similar to the home screen "Sliding Panels" from WinMo Standard 6.1, which uses xml files to define the elements to be displayed.
[Touch2 General] Frank C:
You are correct Titanium is WM......:o

Does WM 6.1 have sliding panels?

AFAIK Sliding panels were introduced in WM 6.5 :p

Hello all,

Made some research and found out in bad surprise that lots of the ROMs offered here are developed by some guys coming from conflict regions or cultures that preach and encourage "holy wars" against civilized, peaceful countries. This makes me somehow doubt the software/malware contained in these distributions, given the latest "digital guerillas"... I don't want my phone call information, emails, SMSs or phone call recordings being transparently forwarded to some intelligence agency.

Can somebody please reccomend a clean origin distribution so our phones are safe ? Please do not ask me to point the suspicious sources, I do not want to accuse anyone, I just want a clean, trustworthy source.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wilcovh:
sorry vasilica2008 the mods do not allow us to give an advice about what is a good rom. simply because a good rom differs for everyone.

some like them close to stock, some like them most stable, others like max speed or naked.

it is a personal thing a rom.

if you had used the search in this forum you would have seen that all the threads asking similar questions are locked.

just look at the first few posts on a rom thread. the cook will explain what he has done to the rom.

if you like it read further. and try a few. you will find your rom for sure.

Finally read the guide about flashing. things can go wrong and most of them are easily prevented or solved.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wilcovh:
i see that in the mean time i was typing you changed the post to this :eek:. I this case can you thrust anybody's rom????

i think the chefs are integer persons. if you are this afraid just stick to stock roms and look no further for any improvements and any software. as you dont know the source of any of them.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
I don't know why you have such suspicion, having flashed a zillion of roms and cooked a couple myself, I had never come across any of the dubious sources you have described, and even there is indeed one, the power of the community would have such source clamped down fairly quickly.

If you still do not trust the cooks here, then I suggest you should just stop flash and stick with your stock rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tomj777:
Surely, even if true and some developers come from regions in conflict, is it fair to damn them because of that (Embargoed countries withstanding). There are very few countries in the world that are ethically clean - I am from and live in the UK and there is a lot that has been done in the name of England in the past 150 years that I would be mortified if I, as a person, was judged for.

Malware? I guess that's possible with all cooked ROMS, regardless of country source. Best advice - if nervous, look carefully at conversation threads in this forum (and beware the usual false positive (search the HSPL / HSPL2 thread).

Let's not turn this thread into a political discussion
