Ive tried both facebook and Gmap, it says "update available" and when i upgrade them, its like new install, it takes me 3/4megas of memory space ...its a lot for an upgrade !
[Desire General] stephenwilley:
Both GMail and Facebook are installed to the system folder, which is read-only, so when you install the upgrade, it has to leave the old one in /system and install yours in (I believe) /data.

The OS only shows the new one, but the old one is still there. Only applies to upgrades for apps that came with the ROM.

On Network usage page (when u type in that code) , sky news app is the highest with the bar pretty much blue form 1 side to another, 2nd is media which is 3/4 blue and mail 1/2,

now iv uninstalled the sky app? as i dont use it, but wasnt it using alot of battery ? just a heads up to those who have it installed
[Desire General] GrenW:
I noticed exactly the same - was using a lot of battery and a lot of network traffic. Can only assume it synced/downloaded quite a lot.

Never really tried tweaking it to see if it could get any better as it used far, far more than the similar BBC widget and I only really needed one.
[Desire General] choccy31:
Yes I've made various comments on this forum and elsewhere Sky News Widget kills battery.

Use the app in small amounts is ok, but not the widget as it kills the battery.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lynt:
Hi all,

Sorry to bug y'all; I'm an utter noob when it comes to rooting and such - I was pretty content with my Hero's Sense UI version of Android, but the UI lag is starting to really get to me.

Rather than go nuts waiting for HTC to release their 2.1 Sense version of Android for it, I was wondering how difficult it'd be to install a vanilla version of Android (I mean non-Sense) 2.1?

Would the phone need to be rooted? Would it be like a "hacked" ROM, or is there a way to put an official 2.1 version of Android on there?

I'd be very keen to pursue this if it was possible.

Any thoughts? Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
Firstly have you tried VillainRom 5.2? It does not lag and has sense (and 5.3 which will be even better should be out tomorrow).

Secondly there are loads of what we call "vanilla" roms out there for the hero which do not have sense. The only thing is none of them will have every feature working 100% as it simply is not designed to be run on the hero.

Check out the dev section and look for all roms with the title "vanilla" or "non sense"
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hkr:
Vanilla is nonsense :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
yes but people call their roms different things.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phaelox:
Blasphemy, vanilla is delicious. :D

(sorry for this nonsense post)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] twit_xp:
Stock 1.5 actually seems faster than most of the Vanilla 2.1 roms I've tried.

Personally I'm on Villian 5.2 which is wonderful except for the massive keyboard lag :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
see I use swype (I am in the beta) anyway so get no lag at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ITMASTER:

[HD2 General] NickC42:
My HD2 is running at around 20% CPU usage when idle according to BATTClock. This is even after a hard reset with just Batclock installed, no radios on, and HTC Sense shutdown (just on old Windows today screen). Is this normal? No wonder the battery life is so short.

My Touch Pro generally shows 1-2% CPU usage when idle even with phone and push email on.

Task manager doesn't show any processes or application using that amount of CPU. Is it just Battclock that is wrong or is something else going on? I have turned off all location services.

Nick
[HD2 General] Qazz~:
Interesting fact. Needs more research though...
[HD2 General] NickC42:
I've tried everything I can think of, including switching off automatic backlight sensing, location settings, etc. and Battclock still shows around 20% with nothing running. Any ideas for a more sophisticated tool to monitor the CPU? Does anyone else with Battclock installed notice this?
[HD2 General] dorigny:
And if battclokck use 20% of cpu ?
[HD2 General] ZuinigeRijder:
BattClock itself does use almost no CPU. But HD2 has the ability to lower the CPU speed. I use a Microsoft API to get the idle percentage. Apparently this Microsoft API does not correct for the CPU frequence change?

You can check with a Task Manager, which process consume how much CPU, like FdcSoft TaskMgr. Then you can also check if BattClock is wrong.

I am planning to add another method for measuring the CPU spent, so for now you can better first check if BattClock is right or not. I have a Touch Diamond and there the CPU percentage is reported the same as the Task Manager.
[HD2 General] kivine:
WEll, mine is 56% atm and i have no idea why.

the only reason i can think of is g-alarm and messenger live
[HD2 General] kilrah:
On a device that changes the CPU clock to meet demands, CPU percentage means nothing if you don't have a way to know at the same time what the current clock is.

And yes, Battclock itself might not use a lot of CPU, but it seems its way to draw itself on top of the menu bar is not very efficient. A bit flaky, the redraws are not clean, and I wouldn't be surprised if the system calls it uses do use a lot of CPU.
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Mmmm....I wonder what you're basing your comments on. Are you saying that ZuinigeRijder is lying?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
The Qualcomm CPU, the one the HD2 has, reduces it's clock speed when it is not needed to run at full capacity to save battery life.

i.e. If the CPU is running at 1Ghz, and a program is using 1%, it will drop the clock speed (due to lack of activity). Say it then drops to 100Mhz, it will then be running at 10% of the CPU clock speed.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
A simple way to check wether battclock influences the readings somehow (which I don't really believe) would be to turn it off and check, as zuinigerijder said, with fdcsoft advanced taskmanager.

BTW I also get ~20% usage when idle, in some manila interfaces I get to lowest values of 7%, but then back to ~15% and then again ~20%

No way to know the current clock of the cpu?
[HD2 General] NickC42:
I think you've hit the nail on the head. When I start a new program the CPU% drops briefly to 1-2% before climbing again. I guess this is the device ramping the processor back up before launching the program, hence dropping idle usage from 10-20% of say 100Mhzto 1-2% of 1000MHz.

Cheers

So, my speaker phone went out on my myTouch g3 and I have a replacement on the way. If I do a nandroid backup on my phone, can I restore it to the new phone? I customized/rooted my phone and it would be nice to not have to spend a lot of time redoing everything and downloading the apps.

If the above doesnt work, would Titanium Backup backup all my apps on my current phone and restore to the new?

Nasty thing happened to my Asus P565. Device not able to boot and throws msg "Error ! Failed to load OS !

What I tried...

1. Hard reset...Not working..gives same error message

2. Re-flash with GM5_28232.abi by rishi2504 (Current firmware)...Not working

3. Re-flash with official firmware ...Not working

For try 2 and 3 it gets stuck at

"Write Xloader...

Read EBoot...

Please Reboot device."

During boot, Progress at the bottom shows "Read EBoot..." and "0/1269760".

Is there any chance to save this device..? If yes, please advice.

I think your ASUS is bricked since the EBoot flashing process is failed.. Try to redownload different and correct Eboot and flash the Eboot part again... The Eboot is the BIOS of your PDA. If it corrupted, then you can imagine a computer with corrupted BIOS.

Dont know if this has been mentioned before here, but just realised that T-Mobile UK explicitely allows tethering ! See here http: //support.t-mobile.co.uk/discussions/index?page=forums&topic=80103803ac7b7fd01276dd2137000728a

[Desire General] rhedgehog:
Depends on your contract.

This is from the fair usage pages on the t-mobile website:

Pay monthly plans which include internet on your phone on an Android phone You'll need internet coverage, check it at t-mobile.co.uk/streetcheck. Remember that you can only use your internet on your phone Booster in the UK and you can't use your phone as a modem or use web'n'walk Plus for peer to peer file sharing, or making internet phone calls. *Internet on your phone comes with a fair use policy of 3GB a month. We'll monitor how much you send and receive each calendar month so that we can protect our network for all our internet on your customers. If you use more than your fair use policy amount, we won't charge you any more, but we may restrict how you can use your plan, depending on how often you go over your amount and by how much. As your phone is always connected to the internet, if you remove your internet on your phone Plus Booster from your account you'll automatically be charged up to £1 every day. That £1 a day rate has its own fair use policy and other legal stuff, which you can see here: t-mobile.co.uk/services/uk/fairuse/#fup5.

Edit, forgot the source:

[Desire General] rhedgehog:
just read that thread.....that t-mobile guy says that tarriffs including wnw plus do include tethering, but t-mobile do not give those tarriffs out any more....the current tarrifs just include 3GB of data, and not tethering.
[Desire General] JaykaySLO:
I spoke to a store salesman and a very competent techy. both said that tethering is included in the contract`s 3gb limit on android.
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
hmmm, i'd still like to wait and see, cos the new contract i just signed up for quite clearly says no on the T&Cs on the website.

course, my old web and walk plus one has no such issue:D

Mind you, t-mobile are very easy going, so there's no saying that they'll actually enforce it even if it's not included....
[Desire General] choccy31:
I used to use it with my old SE C902 never a problem. T-Mob forum guys also confirmed a while back that it is allowed.
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
yeah but that forum post was on the OLD contracts, not the new ones they bought in recently.

Like i said, i have an old contract that has WnW+ on it and yes, tethering is allowed on that one.

the new contracts that they are selling the desire on, definitely say that no tethering is allowed on the compulsory £5 a month android phone internet thingy. And much as i have been a customer of t-mobile since 2004, i don't trust their forum or support staff, cos i used to work with some of them.....
[Desire General] EroThraX:
Uh.. I was a new customer to T-Mobile and I have 'web'n'walk Plus' listed as my inclusive internet.
[Desire General] Jon_010:
There's no way they would know if you had tethered or not. As far as the network can see, its just your mobile phone sending data. Considering that there's not a lot that this phone can't do on the web, I think they would find it pretty hard to know you were tethering based on the web pages you visited. Granted p2p may be a different kettle of fish all together, so I'd be weary about using p2p.

Just my opinion...

[Desire General] kempas:
Sorry to dig this up, thought I'd add it here though rather than start a new thread.

I assume the way they could know was by checking your browser agent string? Would changing that browser agent string on the connected PC to the same and the local phone browser then be enough to 'hide' the tethered connection?

Either way, what happens when Froyo comes out and adds the wifi hotspot functionality...?

[Desire Themes and Apps] sh500:
I was wondering if there was a 'narrower/less wider' version of the standard HTC flip clock with the weather integrated, something which is 4 x 1 perhaps?

Or even something with 4 x 1 dimensions that still has a nice looking clock (to one side?) and the weather to the other?

Thanks.

EDIT: Tried to achieve the looks with separate 2 x 1 widget for clock and weather but the look doesn't integrate too well (!)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Jabbypants:
I don't know anyway to get around what you want but i use one called Beautiful Widgets from the Market place, same sort of thing weather and clock but you can have the smaller home version running and takes up very little space and you can download new skins from the market, very good if the main htc app doesn't have your weather location on as it doesn't for me, a few pics from the net to give you an idea.

If you look on the video i made of my Desire you will see the smaller version of it running and you get lots of other different widgets as part of the package.
