[XPERIA X1 Android Development] republicano:
the battery lasts longer with the light turned off,but still not sure on the correct length as it stalled and reseted, my phone hasnt been charged for 2 days it still has a third of its power left.

i havent recieved two orange dots on the screen, are they two parrallel to each other? next to the xperia sign on the phone?,when you lock the screen there are those dots for to unlock and mute sound.i havent recieved any hardware issue with linux i didnt think the software could harm it.

i didnt have any issues with the backlight turning off, i left those settings alone but i adjusted the settings about connectivity, gps and googles services to decrease battery consumption

i deleted the previous builds on my card and just copied the ones from 2nd of may and rebuilt the data.img.

cheers,sorry if any typos as im typing on the xperia

[HD2 General] gsvnet:
How is 3G reception compared to other T-Mobile phones? No issues like the nexus one has, right?

Also, what does everyone use for GPS navigation? I like the google maps navigation on android, is there something close to that or better for winmo on the hd2?
[HD2 General] dallastx:
Same issues as Nexus one..Had a Nexus and lost it now HD2..Its not the phone its T-Mobile. Unless you live in a city with great T-mobile service..Me i live in Dallas...100-500kbps is not good for 3g. And will go to edge but just not as much but what difference does it matter if you get slow speeds all the time
[HD2 General] gsvnet:
T-Mobile speeds are good in my area, as you can clearly see in my sig. I was just wondering whether the hd2 is reliable in holding the connection.
[HD2 General] heygrl:
The HD2 And N1 are made by the same company, where do you get your basis from? Try something other than HTC and Samsung.

Brain Truss..

I have a corporate winPC running Outlook 2007. Just had my local ADMIN right removed which killed my Active-Sync. Policy prohibts active-sync..

I can export both my calander and contacts to deliminted files, but I need a utility that I can run on my TP2 WM6.5 that will allow me to import the data.

Is there an "app" for this (LOL).

Seriously, does anyone know of a utility that will import delimited files into WM.

Many Thanks

According to THIS website, you can use PIM Backup (a popular app here at xda) to import csv files into your phone contacts. Instructions at that link.
[General Questions and Answers] Mollaka:
Hi Guys,

I have a strange question for you.

I have an Xperia X2 phone (not hacked or anything) and today, the phone froze, restarted and it seems like it lost the custom SonyEricsson software which was on it and reverted to the basic Windows Phone 6.5 software. However, for instance, Office Mobile is not working, and file explorer hangs sometimes, not to mention that I miss the user interface as some of the buttons won't work without the custom software.

So, I took a deep breath and tried to hard reset the device, however, it didn't go as I planned.

I've tried the following, all to no avail:

-Settings/System/Memory, I reckon it has a third tab to start the hard reset (Main, Storage card and ...Clear user settings?), however, now it only shows two tabs...

-followed the reset steps (inserted stylus, held the power button)

-installed a custom hard reset application from handango

-initiated a wipe from my Exchange mailbox

Whatever I do, it just simply boots back the corrupted version of the OS.

Do you have any idea how could I hard reset the phone to have the OS reinstalled with the custom extensions?

many thanks!

gyorgy
[Desire General] bradavon:
With my old Orange SPV C500 phone I could plug it into my laptop and the phone would use the laptop's Internet connection (once I've installed ActiveSync/WMDC). I've tried all the connection modes on my HTC Desire but they all look to be using the 3G connection instead. I've got HTC Sync 2.0.33 installed.

Is this possible? I'm not always going to be in areas where I can get 3G/HSDPA. Thanks
[Desire General] glumardok:
Best you search for the term "tethering" in this forum - you will find what you would like to know. :-)
[Desire General] bradavon:
Thanks for the quick reply. I don't mean using my Mobile as a Modem though (i.e - tethering). That works a treat.

I mean plugging my mobile into my laptop and "using my laptops broadband" connection on my HTC Desire. Basically the other way around (laptop to mobile, not mobile to laptop). This is possible with Windows Mobile.
[Desire General] Zappza:
I think you misunderstand. OP wants to use the PCs internet connection for the phone if I understand the OP correctly.

This may be possible using some ADB commands, but I am not sure.
[Desire General] bradavon:
Correct :).

What are ADB commands? I take it it's not officially supported? Like it is on Windows Mobile then. Thanks.
[Desire General] glumardok:
Sorry, got it now. You are right, WM (or better: ActiveSync from MS) had that functionality. HTC's Sync is far behind that - I'm close to throw it into the bin (if I only had something better). Therefore it is not possible to use your laptop as a modem for your phone. On the other hand: The Desire's WiFi-receiver is really excellent. Where you need access to a LAN try ES File Explorer together with either a WiFi or Bluetooth connection.
[Desire General] bradavon:
It pretty ropey. Thankfully I use Google to sync my stuff, so rarely need it.

Thanks. Nevermind. It was worth asking.

As the HTC Desire has it's own Wireless and 3G/HSDPA. I won't use it often but it can be handy, when you have no 3G/HSDPA/Wireless available but a PC with USB Port and working Broadband.

Thanks. I'll take a look.
[Desire General] dinoalbert:
I also missed this feature from my WinMo HTC TD2 :(

I hope one day this will be possible with our HTC Desire. Here in my office we dont have WiFi as we only use LAN with our laptops. And there are no WiFi signals nearby :)

I have to wait till I get home to be able to have WiFi and update weather and download and install stuffs in my Desire :(
[Desire General] AndroHero:
it is already possible, do a search for "reverse tethering" ;)
[Desire General] dinoalbert:
wow really??? Thank you very much for the info! Im sorry for the Android newbie question :)
[Desire General] AndroHero:
Here is some info on it, its about the nexus one but applys to the desire too :)

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1042-reverse-tethering/
[Desire General] dinoalbert:
Thanks for the link. Will do some readiings for this one. I see its not that easy and it doesnt work for everyone. I was hoping its just a one-button-click process only just like "tethering" :)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
The Desire HD has it
[Desire General] bradavon:
Thanks AndroHero and EddyOS.

Is it easy to use on the Desire HD? It's good to see HTC have added this to the latest version of Sense.

I only got GPRS in my last job, so I'd often turn on Wifi but this obviously isn't always going to be possible. If I'm by a PC I'd obviously use that for browsing mostly anyway but some things (like Market and some websites etc...) I'd not want to access from someone else's PC. I'd want to be using my phone.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
No idea, doesn't work on the HD port though
[Desire General] dickson123:
Maybe it's a stupid question, but why would you want to use the internet on a phone when you're sitting in front of a computer that's connected to the internet?
[Desire General] bradavon:
Mostly I wouldn't but things like Market Place, checking E-Mails/Facebook etc... (not always possible/you'd want to from the PC you're at) to name some examples.
[Desire General] mrdo:
personally i like to update everything on my phone via my work internet connection before i leave for the day. updating my daily news app takes over 40mb alone and i'd rather do that via my work internet connection than by using 3g.
[Desire General] bradavon:
What News App do you use? 40Mb is loads.
[Desire General] dinoalbert:
update weather, friendstream, and install apps that need internet connection..
[HD2 General] Mu5ic92:
i would really appreciate it if someone could post the information on which radios are compatible with my Tmobile hd2 phone. iv looked in the hd2 rom development forum at the radio thread but theres alote of info to take in all at once and to understand for someone just starting off. thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
if it has a .50. in the version, eg 2.08.50. then its fine for tmous . EDIT - except 2.04.50 and 2.05.50 they will also kill tmous, just like a ,,51,, radio.

if it has .51. in the version eg 2.09.51. the phone will die.it won't power on at all.

also stay away from any version lower than 2.07.50.
[HD2 General] Mu5ic92:
thank you so much. finally iv got everything cleared up
[HD2 General] JMM2009:
has any one tried the 2.10 radio for tmobile hd2

has any one tried the 2.10 radio for tmobile hd2, i was wondering about which radio is the best radio for battery life
[HD2 General] Yo man:
Compatible radios and roms

Hay guys since i am new user and dont know much about the flashing stuff, i wanted to know which roms and radios are compatible with my HD2? some details about phone are

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.HSPL XE

CotullaHSPL 0 (mutiple sign) 40

And i want to install android on my device. Kindly tell me the updates i need to do?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
since you have spl 1.42 then you must have a regular hd2, so you can flash any rom any radio. there are perhaps a half dozen android roms that say 'tmous only' but this is purely because of the size, nothing to do with compatibility.

since you want to flash android (and so magldr) you will need 2.08.hspl (get hspl4 for that) and also a radio version 2.10.50 or higher before you can flash magldfr or android.
[HD2 General] Robson:
i'm using 2.15 and it's given me the best battery consumption ever since. running android and no lags or freezes as well.
[HD2 General] Yo man:
What if i brick my mobile? what are the things i may not do to not to brick my mobile? and what if anything goes wrong while updating the HSPL and RADIO ? and do i have to update the rom? And i dont want to remove my Windows, i just want to run the android from the sd card.
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
I'm new to this forum, so sorry if this has been asked loads of times before.

The HTC Desire cannot play most video files out of the box. What's considered the best android video player, with the most codec support?

I've managed to get two Quicktime MOVs to work but without sound (the rest don't, one is a 720p Robin Hood trailer, that looks amazing). The following don't work at all:

* AVI - Some DivX, some unknown

* FLV - Off You Tube

* RM - RealPlayer

* M4V

* MPG - MPEG1

The following work fine:

* 3GP

* WMV

* MP4

I particularly need a player that can handle DivX/Xvid and Quicktime MOV.

The best I can find is yxFlash. This supports:

# Supports mpg, avi, mp4, flv, mkv and wmv/asf files

# Mpeg1/2/4, H264 BP, Divx/Xvid, FLV1 and WMV7/8/9

# Mp3, AAC, WMA, AC3 and PCM

# Network Streaming (http, ftp, mms ...)

# Armv7 Neon Accelaration and Up to 720p DivX Playback for Cortex-A8 Based Devices.

Not Quicktime though (maybe some will work that are MPEG4). The free version only lets you play videos for 2 minutes long. It costs $9.90 (pricey!).

I'd rather find a free or cheaper alternative before shelling out nearly 10 dollars.

Thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] hassan:
I think there is nothing right now apart from yxflash which does AVI etc.

Its crap though this is what i think. Big down side of android is a good video player. :mad:

There is coreplayer being develop for android but it could be an other few years before we see it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dougsdir:
how come? TCPMP has been out on WM for years and runs on harcware that is years old
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
I'm really surprised that's the case but looking too and I cannot find much either. It's crazy. The HTC Desire has a wonder resolution. I read HTC plan to include DivX support in a future Desire firmware though.

I've just downloaded the English Wuzhenhua Player 4.1 from this forum. Maybe that's better.

Years! :(. They're losing money. Windows Mobile is on the way out. Thanks.
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
I've found yxflash to be pretty good.

It won't play any of my FLV files (contrary to what the site says) but it plays everything else nice enough. Sadly there is a noticeable lag at times though :(. Oddly despite the Market Place listing claiming "only 2 minutes of playback", I've had a video playing for over 3 minutes now, without problem.

Wuzhenhua on the other hand needs a lot of work. Sure it plays the FLV files (just about!). That's about the only good thing I can say about it. It crashes more than it doesn't. Thanks to the guy who translated it into English though.

The best video player is the one HTC ship with the Desire but it only plays .3GP, .WMV and .MP4. I guess the best solution right now is to transcode to .MP4 until HTC get around to releasing their firmware so the Desire can play DivX.
[Desire Themes and Apps] defectivereject:
I find Act1 Video player to be the best so far.

Plays without hiccups 99% of the time
[Desire Themes and Apps] hassan:
Yes WM is a different platform, As i've heard from betaboy that Android NDK is still not very good for coreplayer and until google will come out with good NDK there wont be coreplayer for Android.

Also coreplayer team is bit slow too as they were talking about new version of coreplayers for at least two years now.

Only Samsung Galaxy S is going to cover lot of codec in MKV.

Its a big downside of Desire as it cant play DIVX, XVID etc natively.:(
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
I've just installed that thanks. That is a nice player. It only looks to support the formats that are native to the phone though. So in my case .3GP, .WMV, .MP4.

Meaning it's not much different to the native HTC one really. I do like it can resume from where you left off though. yxflash has a neat feature whereby for .3GP, .WMV, .MP4 it defaults to the HTC Player for these formats and uses it's own interface for other formats. I like that as it's better.

DivX at least is coming:

http://www.htcphones.net/htc-desire-support-for-divx-confirmed/

The native HTC Video Player was able to play a Robin Hood (2010) 720p Quicktime trailer of mine. It looked amazing and played fine, no sound though. It was more luck than anything else it played.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
rename them..

For your .m4v you can just change the extention to .mp4, and the desire movie player will play them back just fine.

It's not "out of the box" playback, but it doesn't take you long to rename them and the files doesn't change (like if you converted them to another format).

I did it with a couple of files when i threw a movie folder onto the sd card using astro. Not much hassle.

m4v's are just apple re-branded mp4's.

http://all-streaming-media.com/streaming-media-faq/faq-mp4-streaming.htm

[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
I noticed that after posting thanks. It turns out (using GSpot) they're MP4 files anyway. I'm pretty sure M4V and MP4 are the same thing anyway.

Thanks.
[Desire Themes and Apps] hassan:
@bradavon

Thanks for info about 720P playback but without sound which isn't big issue as there is a small work around to fix it.

I've used a latest version of SUPER change the video container to MP4 from MOV and change audio codec to AAC LC didn't touch the video at all by using a direct stream copy for video.

Here is a result Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time 720P trailer with sound

Look awesome :D

MediaFire
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
Thanks Hassan. Good tip. These are all just wrappers after all, with largely MPEG4 inside them. I'll do just that. It would be good to get some working 720p Quicktime trailers on my HTC Desire.

I'll have a look at Prince of Persia, thanks.
[Desire Themes and Apps] benjatt:
I have tried this with movies downloaded from itunes but although the file converted shows the movie reel icon when I try to play it says that the movie cannot be played. Were you simply renaming the .m4v to mp4 using astro?
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
Converted from what? To what? You'll need to rename it to .mp4 yes. Try this:

In ASTRO, choose "Open As --> Video"

Does it play now? I've found this. I have to "Open As" for it to work from Astro.

It works fine using YXFlash though and nicely still opens .mp4 files using the default HTC Video Player (i.e - if HTC Video Player cannot play the file, like DiVX it uses the YXFlash Player and if it can, it uses the HTC Video Player, all from YXFlash).
[Desire Themes and Apps] Archaik:
