I understand the rationale behind not killing tasks, but i checked out the bbc news app earlier, and it runs a service (i could see it via a task manager). I couldn't then kill the service by using the bbc app. Should I be not killing services, and if so, aren't I going to end up potentially running several services unneccessarily?
[Desire General] moshbeard:
I don't think there's any harm in killing services if you really want to, but the OS is supposed to do a good job of killing services if another application is in need of the resources being taken up by something you haven't actually used for a while.

Some seem desperate to kill every task possible to save an extra few minutes of battery life though.
[Desire General] poldie:
I'm happy with the OS doing that sort of thing, but I want control over services which use battery and consume data.
[Desire General] hager420:
task managers actually end up costing you more battery, having that constantly killing tasks causes them to restart using the CPU which drains the battery. much better to just back out of an app and leave in "idle"

[Desire General] poldie:
Doesn't really address my question specifically about services, and the data/battery they consume. If I load the BBC news widget/app and it fires off a service to keep the news up to date, then I quit, but I can still see the service running (not sleeping or whatever) then it's using my battery and potentially still get data and I want it to stop. Have you used the BBC news app? Can you see the service running after you've quit the front end? How would you stop it? How about malicious apps?
[Desire General] oursoul:
Since reading that task killers are 'bad' I've got rid of all mine, but I dedided to keep jkAppSwitch on my long press of the search button. Mainly I use it for switching between apps easily but it can be used to manually kill things so that's cool, I rarely kill apps now since what I read here but in special needs circumstances I have that power.

Two birds with one stone and all that.
[Desire General] poldie:
Since my post, I've been playing with Fring, and I've stopped now and logged out. I look at the running services and I can see:

Process: com.fring

CallService

Started by application: touch to stop

Well, I don't want to have to fiddle with settings and kill stuff. I've logged out, then quit (pressed back - there's no 'quit' other than 'log out'). This isn't the only app that does this. I understand entirely the deal with Android managing apps, but it seems that this "service killer":

menu/settings/applications/running services

is required if you want to save cpu time, battery and possibly bandwidth. Should I have to do this? Or is this app badly behaved?
[Desire General] superleeds86:
I dont know if its just my desire but the media experience is terrible.

Using YourMuze.fm to stream music, every stream stops at 5 minutes, tried using the flash via the browser on the bbc iplayer website to listen to radio - not enough bandwidth, I'm on 7MB wifi!! So tried the beebplayer app, it doesnt work for radio (does say its sketchy for radio) but the picture quality is pants. So that begs the question to reviewers what flash sites were they using as my experience is shocking! The IMDB app for iphone allows watching of trailers at full screen and in great quality. The IMDB website accessed via the desire browser gives a flash video at 75% screen size and poorer quality than the iphone!

The screen is 800 x 480 yet any video I have at MP4 640 x 480 at .h264 say works perfect but anything over that, i.e 720 x 480 at h.264 wont work without me re-encoding.

Also any internet streaming site that supports the iphone is not supported by the browser so any form of online video wont work, why not if android is competing with the iphone do the basics!

For media this thing sucks, as a phone and for maps it works amazing, why have they messed the media component up so badly?!
[Desire General] moshbeard:
I'm fairly disapointed, I remember a friend had a G1 at launch and I used to taunt him with the fact I could play almost anything through CorePlayer on my Touch HD, I assumed when I bought a Desire though that Android would have progressed enough that I would have similar functionality.

It's not absoultely awful but I wish things were a bit better, I don't mind re-encoding videos and stuff but it would be nicer if I didn't have to.

Hello, I have ported the Leaked MyTouch Slide leaked firmware, here's what doesn't work:

Data

Camera

Camcorder

WiFi :(

Bluetooth

(i Don't know about mms, since i dont have an mms plan)

Issues:

Calls connect but signal shows at zero

SDCard doesn't show up (no photos or music etc)

I don't know what else since ive barely ported it a couple min ago

When you call someone they can't hear you but you can hear them

There might be others i don't know of

i will not fix any issues, if any developers know how to fix this, and can fix further issues i haven't mentioned, then please go ahead and use this rom for those fixes. Also im not a developer at all, so i don't have any experience on this so please don't get mad at me if i messed your phone up.

You can change this setting by doing the following:

Go to Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi Settings. Click the Menu button again and select the Advanced option. Select Wi-Fi sleep policy and then set the relevant option.

[HD2 General] PeterGuru:
I thought I'd write this thread simply to see if it can work for others.

I have read throughout this site that it's good to allow your battery to become completely drained, and then recharge via the power adaptor. Some people even suggest to do it 2-3 times.

Yesterday, for the second time since I bought the phone several weeks ago, I decided to allow the battery to become completely drained. I then charged it using ONLY the power adaptor.

Results?

Before, when in standby mode, no radio, wifi off, screen off, I would lose about 1% battery power per hour through the night while sleeping.

This morning I was shocked. My battery was fully recharged just before midnight, and when I woke up at about 9am this morning, I had lost only 2%. Yes, it said 98% charge left.

WOOHOO!

Anyway, I guess it really does help to allow the battery to drain and fully recharge a few times in the beginning.

Peter
[HD2 General] joshzzz2001:
I seem to read somewhere that Lithium-ion batteries don't have to be drained to be charged properly. Moreover, it's just okay even if you keep on charging it with the green light on, i.e. reached fully-charged level. Well, I myself just got the HD2 and am pretty satisfied with its battery performance although I haven't really monitored it closely. I just charge it whenever I can.
[HD2 General] lude219:
I recycle my battery about once a month and it really helps.
[HD2 General] PeterGuru:
You are right that it's perfectly acceptable to continually charge the HD2. You can't hurt the battery. I'm just saying that I tried this suggestion (from many other threads) and it seemed to improve my battery situation. It may not work for everyone, but at least it's something.

Peter
[HD2 General] PeterGuru:
I may try it once a month, too.

Peter
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Peter,

This is the way to treat batteries if you want to get the best performance out of them. There are numerous posts on this issue on here but it does not matter how many times it is mentioned, people still don't read.

What you get is a load of comments about how poor the battery life is without them going through the conditioning process that will get the best out of their battery, irrespective of what type of battery it is.

It is always advised that you go through several cycles of full charge and full discharge, preferably when the battery is new, to get best results, and to do this on a regular basis throughout the life of the battery.

Undertake a good deed for the day; spread the word!

WB
[HD2 General] PeterGuru:
You're right. I've read so many different opinions on this matter, including a lot of research on the Internet. There really does not seem to be any consensus on the matter.

One thing's for sure, I will continue to cycle through full charge and full discharge on a regular basis, perhaps once a month. In the meantime, I'll just top it off every day.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] pa49:
There is a more fundamental point to all this.

Its not the charging and discharging that makes the difference.

Its the working of the battery under load that allows the barry to achieve maximum capacity.

And constantly discharging/draining the battery will have a negative effect over time, shortening life span and usability.

Just charge and use as much as you can.
[HD2 General] eenbox:
Strange that all previous phones I had I charged the same way - drain then charge for 12hrs first three times, and then drain / charge as I go - and battery always lasted satisfactorily to me ... I know it is a li-ion battery but for me it works every time and I am sticking to it until they invent better longer lasting batteries :)
[HD2 General] Metta24:
What happens when you Recycle them tho Do you not have to buy another one as I see there not cheap.
[HD2 General] skylinepigeon:
I think he/she means re-cycle as in a charge/discharge cycle
[HD2 General] reijkelhof:
I recently bought a HD2 and was reading very differing advice concerning teaching maximum battery capacity.

-do not let the battery go fully dry, it might harm it (source: wikipedia)

-cycle the battery, drain and fully charge a few times.

-charge as often and much as you can, the battery has no no memory, top it off as you like.

So,,,

I take it now, that the battery likes being used hard, especially when new.

Drain to 7% or so, recharge, drain till 7% or so, a few times.

So do not try to find energy saving mods in the beginning, but work it hard.

I noticed I get a huge battery drain increase when I set the screen backlight to 100 instead of 40. and what a nice display it is :)

So I figure thats nice way to get to know the HD2, to use it hard and bright, until the battery is 'conditioned' and I know what programs I love the extra brightness in.

I have not been able to drain the battery in a day of expected use yet, always had 23% left or so, which is almost a 4th..

Oh and sorry for off topic, but are any of you guys interested in the ebook reading capabilities on the device at all?

I use a free ebook reader called 'freda' on 'night mode' with black background and red letters, and due to the screen size it is so easy to use the HD2 as an ebook.

I snug into bed and read like 50 pages of an ebook and maybe drift off and the device will auto goto sleep too, if I go first.

It's great.

3G should use more power generally as you tend to be much further away from the base station than with WiFi . obviously, than it also depends on the quality of the connection a bad connection will use much more power than a good one for both WiFi and 3G .

There are quite a few keyboard apps out there (Fingerkeyboard, swype, PCM Keyboard, EzInput, etc)

As far as linking the device via USB to a CD player.... I don't think so. You could try to hook up the device via an auxiliary connector from the car stereo to the device (3.5 mm jack to 2.5 mm jack). Hope this helps.

[HD2 General] macgrewal:
Hello All,

I have flashed my T-Mobile UK branded HD2 with an official HTC ROM using the GoldCard method and then to several Cooked ROMs using HSPL.

Does this mean my phone is now unbranded and I can flash other HTC Official ROMs without using the GoldCard method? i.e. how someone would flash an unbranded HD2 bought say from somewhere like mobilephonesdirect.

I'm aware my phone is still locked to the T-Mobile network which I'm fine with. My question is purely to do with removing T-Mobile's customizations.

I'm really asking because I want to be able to flash a valid HTC ROM to my device if the following happens:

I install HSPL

I flash my device to a cooked ROM

Something goes wrong :eek:

I can't get active sync to work/device won't boot into windows

I need to go back to official ROM for warranty

Cheers,

mac
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
If you use hspl no need for goldcard at all. you can flash anything from usb with hspl, official or cooked.

You dont need the phone to be booted to flash over usb. Boot to bootloader, connect usb, run the flash.
[HD2 General] macgrewal:
Thanks Sam,

I was under the impression you had to be connected via active sync to FLASH using HSPL (at least that's what the instructions say when using the tool).

But I still would like to be able restore my to a warranty friendly state.

Is my phone unbranded once I've flashed with the GoldCard or must I use the it every time I want to flash without HSPL?

Thanks,

mac
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Yea thats a common mistake caused by the way the guides, and various other answers in threads are written.

When you connect the phone in bootloader mode, so long as the word serial changes to usb you should be good to go.

Of course. You have two ways

1 (for both methods)- download the tmo original official rom, official roms thread, 1st post, 1st link, 1.43 folder.

then either

2 - extract the nbh file, copy it to sd card (no need for goldcard, stock 2gb card will be fine) rename leoimg.nbh then start phone in bootloader to flash.

OR

3 - STEP 1 - run the t mo stock you downloaded and flash over usb, which restores the rom to stock, and then STEP 2 - run HSPL2 again and choose the stock spl. (HSPL has 8 spl's listed when you run it, 4 stock and 4 hspl,) Choose 1.43.0000 and thats it, back to stock.

That doesnt really make sense. As soon as you flash any method, the phone is then unbranded. removing the tmo rom is unbranding.

What YOU mean is ''is the phone rom unlocked?' and the answer is no, it will always be rom locked to tmo, (different to sim lock) so if you want to flash without hspl then you will need the goldcard.
[HD2 General] macgrewal:
Cheers Sam,

That answers my question. HSPL it is.

Is there a way of removing the ROM Lock?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
only hspl. nothing permanent. (well, hspl IS permanent till you remove it, but you know what I mean)
[HD2 General] randommann:
Am i reading this correctly? You are saying that HSPL removes network sim lock?
[HD2 General] randommann:
I need to know whether i will be able to unlock my T Mobile UK HD2 on 1.42 SPL, after a HSPL flash and i have put another ROM on my phone.

Is there any way that flashing can remove the sim lock or prevent me from being able to unlock my phone?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no you miss read the post. rom lock is not sim lock.they're unconnected.
[HD2 General] randommann:
Can anyone answer this, so i can get on with it?
[HD2 General] randommann:
Okay thanks,

sorry i missed your post.

Do i have to buy and unlock code or is there a way i can unlock for free?

thanks again
