i use gps a lot as i work as a field technician but i don't have gps turned on all the time while im driving as the screen shuts off by itself in a minute or so. maybe gps is still working even with the screen shut off? and it's a nand install so trying with winmo is not possible. i had much better battery life with winmo for sure. if i turn off the syncing will i still be able to use gps?

Which NBH are you using? The newest ones are way better than the older ones. If your using a current one check out tatnai's FAQ... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5599516&postcount=33
[Touch CDMA Android Development] djpj1981:
not the latest but not too old either. less than 2 weeks... not even. what's nbh anyways? what does it do? and thanks will check out that thread
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
It's the kernel. you know the file you rename RUU_signed and you flash.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] duckdown:
I am definitely having this problem as well, and the charge does not last very long it seems either. Was much, MUCH better in the Windows Mobile builds I was using previously.

I am on Bell using the basic HTC Touch
[Touch CDMA Android Development] syst2:
Same problem here. Brand new battery on bell.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
Yeah, although battery life is positively improved and pretty decent now, there is definitely still something funky going on with charging. I still don't rely on / believe when the phone says it is fully charged. It happens too quickly to be possibly true.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] antistar0:
I have the exact same issue and it is absolutely a problem with charging within Android. I have two identical batteries. One was fully charged in winmo before I flashed - I took it out and swapped for the other one. Flashed it with that battery in and charged it overnight. It only lasted about a half-day. Came home and swapped out for my other fully-charged (in winmo) battery, and it lasted for more than a day. Same settings, same use. After it discharged, I recharged overnight from Android and it behaved the same as the first - discharging in about a half-day.

What gives?

I'm curious what builds people are using? I'm totally new to this but I'm using warm donut with voguimg-240x320-06-04-10.nbh. It seems that nbh isn't posted on the sourceforge site yet - maybe I should switch back to an older one?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tiagoclc:
Maybe kernel problem.

I'm experiencing the same problem as everyone.

Lately my battery suddenly drops from 100% to 4%.

When I put to charge, it reaches 100% very fast. Should reach only 5%

I think it can be a problem in the kernel.

Now, i'm trying to solve it. If I find something I'll share with you

I can not determine which kernel brought the problem...

23/04 - 16:16 (GMT-3 - Rio de Janeiro) - Trying an old kernel

23/04 - 17:00 - Nothing. But came to the conclusion that the problem is with the battery.

Battery really "thinks" its 100% charged, since it accepts flash a nbh without the need of the phone is charging. And this only happens when the battery is at least 50% charged...

(sorry about my english. I'm brazilian and still learning english)

so i have a sprint store down the street, i went about 2 hours ago and i was chatting with this guy who seemed to know about rooting and etc. he was a rep; so i asked him " i know you heard something about the update, and the rep told me we are getting our update on MONDAY. Whats funny to me is all these reps are full of crap, they all tell you different things, but this guy seemed pretty confident that were getting our update on monday, lol i guess we will have to see right guys? just thought i would share...

How likely would Sprint/HTC be to try and "fix" the asroot method of obtaining root? I know people who are too scared to do it, but I was wondering if after the update, they'd be out of luck until a new way was found.
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
That came with the Sprint leaked ROMs. If you have 1.5 it will not be on there. It's on the 2.1 Could not be getting our phones ready for an OTA as those that are stilled unrooted running stock would then be screwed out of an update. I think it is so we can get updates HTC may make to Sense UI and apps that they build.
[Hero CDMA General] venumx:
very likely since it is on the newer linux kernel which patches the way we rooted the hero.
[Hero CDMA General] spatel9114:
Yeah, I chatted with a Sprint person/robot thing and was told it's coming "very soon", and this was last month, so who knows when it's coming, all I know is it'd better be PERFECT when it's out seeing as how they're taking forever to release it.

Hey guys, I wanna know if i can play youtube videos in the youtube app after i click on a video on the browser..Like the Ipod.

Basically when i click on the youtube video/link in the Internet browser (Opera) how can i make the video play in youtube app automatically without viewing it on the web browser itself...

Sorry for my bad english

Thanks.
[HD2 General] xzero101:
bump....any help ?
[HD2 General] Raspster:
2 ways... 1.... make IE your default browser and it will load the mobile version of the youtube site. When you click the video, it will open the youtube app to play or option 2.... Click the link, into opera you go... Change tjhe youtube link that is loaded by adding an "m" in front of youtube. So it should read... www.m.youtube.com.(remainder of the provided link) then it will properly load the mobile youtube link. Click the video and the youtube app will launch.
[HD2 General] xzero101:
Cool it worked...Thanks alot for ur help
[HD2 General] mystik610:
Use Skyfire. Full flash support. Youtube videos will play directly on the browser

Ya, like dial-up circa 1995 slow.
[HD2 General] endGameXIII:
i tried going to failtube with ie, it works a lot better than skyfire as far as quality is concerned. in opera, you can do the same by turning on "plug-ins" under the options --> advanced (or something to that end). it works sometimes, other times it doesn't. beats me why.

[Desire General] superleeds86:
Can someone help me with videos. The screen of the HTC desire is 480 x 800 so why will files that are only upto 640 x 480 work? Any files that are bigger than this in resolution only play sound.

The type of file is MP4, i.e. android supported video files. I have 2 seasons of family guy that I had on my iPhone at 640 x 480 and all work fine. I also have video files at 480 x 352 and all work fine BUT when I put on some files over 640, i.e 800 x 480 only the sound plays. I have even tried 'random sizing' i.e 680 and 642 and they wont show video just play sound. The device is limited to 640 it appears, why?

I know these files at 640 will play at fullscreen but thats not the point. Any video I have upto 800 should play fine otherwise I have to convert these down to 640 to play on an 800 screen which surely means I'm not getting the best out what whats available?
[Desire General] :
what I found is that when i used h.264 video codec i also only got sound, but when i changed to mpeg-4 codec videoes at 800x480 played just fine. I used Handbrake to encode.
[Desire General] carrige:
Sorry to be hijacking the thread, but my question may be somewhat related if you could help me out :)

I don't actually have the phone yet, but is there a program that would play back (smoothly) normal DIVX/XVID encoded (*.avi) files on the phone? That is, without the need to bother with handbrake or anything on the PC beforehand.
[Desire General] FloatingFatMan:
It's not related at all, and there are plenty of other threads discussing DIVX playback; please try using the search feature.
[Desire General] mr.vandalay:
i don't have the phone yet but from what i've red...

the native player doesn't play avi vids but you can try yxflash player

from HTC: "HTC Desire to receive DivX playback support in future update"

you can also use doubletwist program for your pc... it will sinc mp3s and videos (it automatically converts videos while copying to your device)

hope this helps :)

[HD2 General] Stormtraxx:
Hi,

I searched the internet, but I don't find any working solution. I changed the registry, installed ezinput (after this the htc was frozen),...

I want to keep the language (Dutch) but not the keyboard layout (qwerty). It should be AZERTY. How can I do that on this device? Is their a rom/app that can perform this for me?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] Stormtraxx:
Anyone? Is there a dutch rom with azerty on it?
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
if i remember fingerkeyboard does

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=487677

just choose your language as dutch and it changes the keyboard layout

let us know how it goes.

from experience it's a very good keyboard, even has abilities to cut, copy, paste, undo, etc.

IF IT DOESN'T have DUTCH

from another post -> simply select the arrow near the keyboard and select french, but remember xt9 will also be in french so disable it!
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Yep, that's the problem, the goal is to keep XT9... unfortunately no solution exists so far, I'm in the same case, for some reason HTC thinks that French = AZERTY keyboard... mine is QWERTZ, thanks...
[HD2 General] Stormtraxx:
Hi,

I did it as follow:

*I installed this rom: Leopat 1.4 Nld with Cookies Hometab

*I Changed the keyboard to french

*I Changed this in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\LdbFiles]

"010c"="NLlsUN_xt9.ldb"

And now I have a dutch HTC with AZERTY :-). I took couples of hours to find those simple steps. Belgian people will be happy :-P
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Hmm, I tried that before, and it didn't work... but now it seems to? Weird.

Anyway XT9 still has a long way to go before it gets really useable, most of the time it doesn't even get it right if you type one wrong letter (neighbouring one) in a 6 letter word, and gives no suggestion...
[HD2 General] Stormtraxx:
Dammz... I flashed my HTC and did what I said above but xt9 stays french...

I searched hours for a solution without any luck.

Is it that hard to make xt9 dutch when using the french keyboard (azerty)?
[Hero CDMA General] jlem26:
I noticed earlier that m:zombie and m:vampire are not in the market. Any other programs that any of you have noticed are missing?
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
it's because the ruu is signed with test keys, not the release keys, so not everything is showing up.
[Hero CDMA General] jlem26:
That's what I figured but these are the only two apps I have seen missing so far. I was just wondering if anyone else came across more.
[Hero CDMA General] spatel9114:
Most of my purchased apps are gone, and they include Basketball, Toss It, Flight Control, and a few others..quite disappointed as I did the RUU install via the .exe file and so far, haven't found a way to undo it and go back to DamageControl 2.1...
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Not to laugh about this, but maybe if that RUU had been kept hidden in the bowles of someones computer that wouldn't have happened. This is what drama does....:rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] troyboytn:
lol very,very true!
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
RUU has test-key. thats means no protected apps. You should have flashed one of the many roms based on this RUU(damage,fresh or darchlegend even though its based on the Legend RUU). There already set to go.
[Hero CDMA General] spatel9114:
Anyway I can do that now?
[Hero CDMA General] jlem26:
Lol, not to sound like a jerk but we knew this. I started the thread because I was wondering if anyone else knew which programs were affected. The whole idea behind loading the RUU was to test it out. It would be great if everyone didn't come in here and tell us how we should have loaded a custom ROM. Most of us probably came from a custom ROM to this, like myself.
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
Sorry, that was just your first post to the forum, and it had no implications that you knew how to do anything whatsoever. I was just going on what I read from your post. I was guessing you just joined and saw the RUU and flashed it. I am sorry.
[Hero CDMA General] jlem26:
Don't be sorry, I wasn't really aiming that at anyone in particular, I was just hoping to head off the thread turning into a point and laugh at the RUU users.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
Manually push flash_image to /system/bin >> You have to give flash_image permissions with adb

adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image

>> Root and reflash recovery (use this guide, except substitute 1.6.2 instead of 1.5.2 recovery (or use whatever recovery you want)>> Then reboot into recovery and nandroid back to your original build. You can even nandroid back to Fresh 2.0d and you will retain your new PRI.

If you have never made a backup, then download whatever ROM you want to try and use flash from .zip in recovery to flash the new ROM.

I included flash_image if you need it to push. This is not a .zip file, but I had to add .zip to attach it here. Rename it without the .zip or push it by typing

adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image
[Hero CDMA General] jlem26:
Well I modified the build.prop last night and now all the apps are showing up in the market.
[Hero CDMA General] MILH0U5E:
Wow, is this easily done? I'm missing root manager, but otherwise am liking the leak (minus sprint crap).

Also.notice quick boot isn't working, but I'm sure its fixable, I just haven't looked or may not have the experience to get it going.
[Hero CDMA General] jlem26:
Yeah it is pretty easy, just need to get your build.prop, then in wordpad, if using windows use wordpad not notepad, just have to make a few changes. After that you clear the market cache. When I did this last night, none of the protected apps showed up, however this morning they all did. So for reason it may take a bit to work right but it did work. Just checked and root manager is showing in my market too.

I'll just post one I found online. If you adb push this to /system/ it should work.
[Hero CDMA General] agentofboom:
@Kcarpenter, maybe dont post inflammatory stuff like this and instead be helpful and we wont have drama?

@Jlem

Good to see you got it going. You should share your build.prop (or link to instructions) so others that may have made the early (and quite risky) install of the RUU could get it going. That would be a nice thing to do :)

Personally I think you're crazy for trying that RUU!!! hahaha ! I'm glad someone did, and I hope it all works out for you.

edit:And you did! good work

So for someone who has never done anything with a rooted phone, how exactly would I push this file to mine? Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA General] sage020:
1. download and install android sdk

2. place build.prop in the android sdk tools folder, plug in phone and make sure usb debugging is turned on.

3. click start menu and type cmd

4. cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\ *use your full directory name

5. adb remount

6. adb devices *should display serial number

7. adb push build.prop /system/

8. adb reboot

your phone should restart, clear your market cache and you're done. I also did this, been 5 hours so far no luck with showing protected apps yet.

edit: new apps now showing in my market.
[Hero CDMA General] Tbone1771:
Thanks I will give it a try tonight. How do you clear the Market Cache by the way?
[Hero CDMA General] sage020:
on step 3 above, i forgot click start menu then click run then type cmd, this is to open command prompt on the pc.

also an 7 its /system/

to clear the market cache on your phone you wanna hit menu / settings / applications / manage applications / wait for phone to process list / market / clear cache

Hope all works out for ya.
[Hero CDMA General] Tbone1771:
So far so good, it obviously takes a bit of time for the Market to sync up in some way but thank you for the help.
[Hero CDMA General] sage020:
No Problem. Let me know if this works for you, it did for me. Took awhile, i kept playing with the market and clearing the cache afterwards then after i dl a game it seemed to kick in.

Another thing you can do is download root explorer and remove some of the sprint bloatware, just be careful with what you remove, you can search a list of safe apps you can remove. I removed the nfl, nascar, footprints, and stocks. All you have to do with that is open root explorer app, switch from ro to rw go into /system/ then /apps/ and long press the ones you want removed and select delete.
[Hero CDMA General] jonathaflores:
thats what i did!! lolz , steal waiting on the market!! it has been 2hours!! but iam waiting

Thank you very much sage020 for this detailed step by step guide to restoring the Market. Worked like a charm. Your efforts to help out noobs like me is greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Edit: An interesting after effect of using the build.prop in the provide link. When the market came back online with the protected apps I received what I assume is an automated email to my gmail account. It was from the "Android Team" and telling me all the cool features on my purchase of my new "Nexus One" phone. Anyone else experience this?
