[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] scootie:
Hi!

Is it an XDA Mini?Because that's a Magician,not a Charmer.

I read it,you don't want to install XP,but I think you have to find someone with a PC that runs XP and try to flash your device from bootloader mode.

BR

Scootie
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] ChrBeck:
Scootie is right it is a Magician.

Look in the forum for that device.

(I know that the last post is a littlebit old but I say it again to translate it into German too)

Scootie hat recht beim XDA Mini handelt es sich um den HTC Magician.

Suche bitte is seinem Forum nach ROMs.

Does any one know how to unlock A Htc Dream G1. Cell phone. So I may use a new phone company?,I know I can use the unlocker.com to get this done. But its llike 30 bucks to have it done! I was wondering if anyone new how to do it. .or do I have to pay and have it done,,
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XBrav:
Purchase one through eBay. They do require your IMEI and Carrier, but it works, cost me $5 Canadian. Since I cannot recommend any sellers due to the forum rules, just read each seller's feedbacks!

I run my G1 on Fido now, so I can verify it works. Once you have the unlock code, drop the new SIM card into your phone and boot it. It will say Emergency Calls Only. Go into the Wireless Settings, scan for the new wireless network and select it. A prompt will come up asking for the unlock code.

You have two options

Pay a third party service to have the subsidy lock e-mailed to you (usually takes about 24 hours)

Call T-Mobile and request it from them (providing you have a current account that meets the prerequisites)

[General Questions and Answers] darkpain:
Hello guys.

I am an owner of Imate Jam or Qtek S100 and after a lot of problems after 4 years that i have bought this phone i want to buy a new one.At first when Htc Hd2 came out i was in love!!!:p and then the Desire came out recently.After many reviews and comparisons i am in the middle now.I know that maybe they have almost the same features but are different due Android and Windows mobile system.I didn't have problem with Windows mobile(only some resets after some days) but is usual with my phones features and programs i had installed.I love messing around in registry or tweaking.I am confused because i don't want to buy a phone and after one year can find an application to install like windows 2003se and after i learn that windows 7 are coming soon and i will cannot upgrade my phone.I want a mobile to last this time.On the other side i am angry that i cant install applications in SD card(even in s100 i have 4GB installed and is almost full).Also i love the iphone like applications that only android supports some of them.(I know about some clones for wm but is not the same-like i lighter).The other dilemma is the screen and colors.Amoled with 16M with TFT with 256K,the amoled looks brilliant and is new but some they say that is a little pinky in white areas.I was having symbian before windows mobile and now i get used the windows mobile for four years,i will get used to android?or i will regret it?or wait for windows mobile 7?

Any help from you that you own or see from close that phones it will be appreciate.Thank you very much.

[General Questions and Answers] darkpain:
Thanks guys for your reply's but i will be glad if you tell me reasons why to choose the specific phone
[General Questions and Answers] donald-c:
I'm on the exact same problem lol, I have a Diamond now (it's almost completely broken now...) but I was a flash addict! That, and the fact that the HD2 might (I use that loosely) get an unofficial upgrade to WP7, and probably will get an Android port later.

Yet, I want the Desire because so many people say they think it's the best phone ever (I remember seeing that on a review in the Desire forum), also the Android version of Sense is absolutely stunning.

Again, the HD2 has an amazingly large screen, but the Desire has a better screen...

Ahh I'm stumped...
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Ok, even i am in this prediciment as i want to upgrade from my HD.

I look at things like this :

Do you like android or WM? - For me its WM so i dont need to look at android.

WP7 is indeed going to be a major departure from wm6/6.5 and it is unlikely that the HD2 wont get an official upgrade....................but....

....it was also unlikely that my old Prophet would get a winmo 6 upgrade and it didnt. It did however get cooked winmo6 roms from our chefs here.

So, if you want top hardware and like lightening fast devices and is willing to flash everynow and then when wm7 gets cracked then i would go for the HD2 any day.

Of course, if you want to try something different, think about the iphone with os40........Ok its not an HTC but there are big changes happening in the summer so im gonna wait until then.
[General Questions and Answers] darkpain:
You have a point my friend.I like WM but i havent tried android and they look very attractive and i think is the future.I have flash many roms from here(THANKS XDA FOR THE INCREDIBLE JOB) but i dont want to buy 600 euro phone and loose the warranty and greek language support;/ (maybe 1 or 2 years later:P).I think you have right about the changes will happen in the summer and i know i should wait,except i will get crazy and i will buy the first i will see in front of me:P
[HD2 General] omershahab:
I'm new to flashing custom ROMS but I was wondering if there is a 2.10+ ROM taken from the US HD2 that has all the branding and bloat software removed?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
You'll have to find a custom ROM based on 2.x - there isn't a stock one as that'd have what you want removed on it

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1984c:
guys, I found out that the G-sensor daemon "akmd" alwasy takes up to 3% cpu on my N1 with CM-5.0.5/6.

I compared with stock ERE-27 rom, in which "akmd" in that takes less than 1%.

While during standby, it take no CPU usage.

Does it matter? I mean, would that kill our battery?:confused:

Actually I first found that out when I was using CM-5.0.5. One day I put my fully charged N1 beside my pillow and after 7-hr sleep, only 86% power left..:(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophetjinn:
Maybe it has something to do with the 360 degree launcher2.

I personally don't use that feature. I'm gonna take a look at my usage.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gimpeh:
I just noticed this as well while tinkering.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infin8cyn:
I realize I'm bumping an older thread now but I still feel this might be relevant.

Running top at any point will still show "/system/bin/akmd" which is the system daemon for the compass.

In my case, it almost always resides underneath "system_server". I've tweeted it at Cyanogen once but got no response to my question.

So, after doing some digging, I pulled down the SDK and fired up the "Dalvik Debug Monitor" here's what I saw (See attached: android-troubleshooting2.jpg)

Edit: i42.tinypic.com/m953rq.jpg

Not that it needed reiterating but the AK8973 is the 3-axis compass chip and something calling it or (the driver itself) is throwing an error almost precisely every 10 seconds. Now, I belive this has only been happening since the upgrade to CM5.0.6-N1 (Although I am now on CM5.0.7-Test1) either way whatever bug there is, still remains.

Edit: i40.tinypic.com/21liauh.jpg

Googling for that error: "Compass driver encountered fatal error2" pulls up a single page in the CyanogenMod Forums and two error logs on PasteBin.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rori~:
Bump!!-Bumb!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infin8cyn:
Thanks for the bump! Being a lurker has it's definite disadvantages.

In my testing, the use of 360º rotation nor the setting of "Launcher Rotation" changed whether akmd was consuming resources.

Full size image link: i40.tinypic.com/dxh0yu.jpg

Just as GaryD had posted here:

forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/3129-ak8973-compass-driver-encountered-fatal-error2

after a reboot the errors disappear for a while. I don't know the pattern to which they reappear (e.g. due to a buffer overflow or some other reason.)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubbahump:
confirmed...

I think this issue is with newer kernels. I saw it on various versions of CM before switching to enom's TheOfficial rom. Doesn't exist on unmodified versions of enom's rom, but I just loaded several of the newer 2.6.33.x kernels and all show akmd using 1% cpu while the phone is sleeping.

Additionally, power drain while sleeping with these kernels is between 5 and 7 milliamps, while with the stock rom (and enom's stock kernel) it is between 3 and 5 milliamps.

If anyone wonders how I am getting these numbers, I am using OSMonitor (from the market). I sort the processes, reversed, by CPU%. To get the power drain, I look at the dmesg log and filter for the "batt" tag.

I may post this as a new topic for the kernel devs to review if it gets no attention here...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infin8cyn:
Since I haven't run any other roms I was hesitant to drag anyone else's ROMs into the discussion. I've seen it with InsectrRaven and the Pershoot but they're obviously all pulling from CM's commits on Github. I realize they're not large amounts of cycles but any usage that can be minimized is something. Right? Maybe I'm just a minimalist at heart.

Much appreciated on the bump and the bump towards the devs.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namuna:
Another confirm here.

I'm on CM5.0.7-test2 with pershoot 2.6.33.4 kernel. Mine was steady at 6% CPU though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zuah:
Confirmed..

E/AK8973 ( 101): Compass driver encountered fatal error2 is thrown in every 10 seconds.

CM-5.0.7.1-N1

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
this TOTALLY makes sense to me. used the stock ROM for last 3 months and had great battery life. after using cyanogen 5.0.7 the last 4 days, battery life is much worse than the stock ROM for me. also different is in cyanogen this "akmd" always shows up in my battery usage, but this never appears in the stock ROM. i'd make a solid bet that this is a cause of the poor battery life on current cyanogenmod, especially if this thing is hitting every 10 seconds with some fatal error. wonder if it can be easily fixed?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amigaben:
I have an EVO, unrooted, no OTA update, fully stock but used the 'top' app to notice the compass /system/bin/akmd consistently using resources.

Disabling auto orientation has fixed it, and done miraculous things for my battery life (battery graphs can have flat lines!), but I want my auto-rotate back. Is this a case of the accelerometer writing out a bad settings file, or it's a bug or what?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I'm still seeing this issue in the latest cyan r c 2 nightly. I'm confused why the compass would be used for the screen orientation. As far as I know, we are talking about 2 different sensors. The phone has a compass sensor, which is akmd, and also has an accelerometer sensor, which is used for auto screen rotation. The compass I thought is only used in things like maps street view and Google sky map.

Regardless, is there any solution to get akmd to stop running all the time? What process is calling this to even run all the time exactly?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvfk:
I have the exact same problem (though akmd often takes up 80% here) on Hero with CM6 nightly build Aug 19th. I hope I can simply delete the file somehow.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trasig:
was same for me.. i had disabled auto-rotating in "settings->display" and in cyganamod settings.. AND in launcher pro.. (i always lay down on the side and the phone flips and i dont like it).. i did this 2 days ago.. and phone been laggy as **** since then. akmd have had 70-99% cpu all the time.. so i turned it all back on again. and now akmd takes 1% wake and 0% sleeping.. so wierdo.. shud be the other way around!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
Its seems that many NEW peoples come here in the FORUM.. the Touch HD is a device more than 2 years old so i can tell you that Everything you can do with your device is Already writen here in the Forum.. also here have a wiki and you can read and read and read and understand how the things work.

Also only you know what you have in your mind what mean for you to looks great?

I don`t wana be rude but from around a mounth or maybe more everyday i see some post like this.. If you read you will understand ALMOST EVERYTHING you need to know, the reason to write you is because nobody is born with knolage for example befor years when we start to use this device or any other we test, read and read and read... and spend alot hours in this forum and not only to understand everything so.. do not think that someone will write you here okay install this CAB and your device will look great... the things are alot more complicated...and the best way is everyone to find it by yoursel..

I don`t wana say that you cannot open posts here.. but for something that you really don`t have answers or some kind of problem... OK but i can not understand to ask something that...even if i wana answer you is not posible.....

Excusme me but if everyone who buy a Touch HD and come here and open posts like this... how will look like this forum?!

If you don`t wana read and find all the things by yourself.. then nobody can help you...

I hope also all the new USERS here to read this and ASK a serious Questions.

I've read through this forum for almost 2 months. I read almost every THREAD and also WIKI
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
The reason you write " I need help from you guys to make my HD looks great " Mean you DONT KNOW OR READ ANYTHING because if you read you will know there is not such as magic to install something and voala... About how to Flash a ROM i already write to one "new" user and will not write the same anymore you can read it and flash a new ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=657816&page=2

Here i wrote Guide step by step very simple im sure you don`t read this.. then dont say you read alot and almost everything.. if you use the search on this forum and wrote how to flash ROM will see alot of Post explaining very well.

Also if you read will know that depends from what kind of ROM u use do your device is unlocked and what manila version and thousend other stuffs you cannot write just like that... i cant install cabs.. What kind of cabs? where? what error giving you?

What Manila u are using.. or what kind of Windows?!?

They are thousend of questions...

And like i say.. im not here to explain to every new the whole world.. so READ if you read will know what to do...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ultimatepichu:
Hello philiphoh,

it's always good to see new people coming in and I guess I need not to talk about what tsalta has said. But here's some links that I think would be helpful for you.

To change your SPL/Radio/Custom ROM/etc, this is the best tutorial to read though: Digital Outcast's Dummy Guide

As for your .cab files that do not work, normally it's because of compatibility issue, or the place where you install the cab files (phone/storage card), or maybe the cert (sdkcerts.cab) issue, if you're on a stock rom.

to make your phone look great, normally I'll go through the thread Post Your HD Screens. A lot users showed cool stuffs of their Blackstone and if you like them, you can just ask them to share, and normally they will.

Hope you can find your way =) Well, it's all like what tsalta said, READ.

Hi

Does anyone know of a desire-compatible headphone remote control with a volume control?

I can't believe the one provided doesn't have one!
[Desire Accessories] alex101uk:
well since the headphones plug into a 3.5mm jack that takes no data, unlike the G1's proprietry extUSB, its actually impossible. Or impractical if you want. It would need t plug into the usb and the 3.5mm jack at the same time.

edit: define remote control. remote control as in changing songs or remote control as in just changing the volume with a slider?
[Desire Accessories] yeahdisk:
Both.

Imagine the OEM remote control (skip tracks, play / pause) with the addition of a volume slider.
[Desire Accessories] Wabiloo:
I personally disagree with alex101uk's comment. After all, the iPhone has a perfectly usable remote to do track skipping, volume control, play/pause and call control, all of that with a single 3.5mm jack, that as far as I can tell is exactly the same connector as the one on the original HTC remote.

So, I really don't understand:

1) Why the iPhone headsets cannot be used with HTC's phones. Surely it should have been possible to not invent yet another way of doing remote control

2) Why nobody wrote an application for Android that would make it possible to use Apple headsets (there are quite a few of those accessories available)

In the meantime, yeahdisk, you should try the Headset Volume Control app which allows the next/prev buttons on the original HTC remote to be used for volume control with a long click. It works well with the original music app and the HTC's own. I wish it did continuous volume control, but I guess it's better than nothing...
[Desire Accessories] WeeJockMacFeegle:
Could you point us in the direction of the volume control app please?
[Desire Accessories] Tiznom:
Here it is. on Cyrket. $3, claims to work with Sense. I've not tried it.

Description as follows:

A tool that let`s you control the music volume with the stock headset`s buttons. Long press PREV / NEXT to make louder / quieter. Usable with android/sense default Music application. Just install it & start changing volume, no additional actions needed.
[Desire Accessories] WeeJockMacFeegle:
Found it. I was looking on AppBrain, but it turned up on the regular Market.

Works perfectly with the Music player on my Desire with PAYS latest ROM. Also works perfectly with the Saffire Audiobook player so I'm a happy bunny.

Just hold the button in for as long as you like until the volume reaches the required level.

$3 well spent in my view.
[Desire Accessories] Jabbafat23:
