It definitely depends on the car charger and your settings.

My first car charger supplied 500mA (I had it lying around from some other piece of equipment I had bought). I did an experiment with the screen at 100%, navigating, and streaming Pandora. I lost something like 15% of the charge in 45 minutes or so.

I now have a 1000mA charger (just a couple of bucks at monoprice.com). What that same configuration, the battery goes down very, very slowly. If I don't run the screen at 100%, or if I turn off the screen during long stretches between turns on the highway, the Nexus One gains charge instead of losing it.

[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
go plug your nexus into the car charger and go to settings, about, and see if it shows usb or ac and you will figure out the problem. it prob will say usb which means its only pulling 500 ma rather than the full 1000 ma that it should be. my car charger pulls the full amount and it can actually charge the device during navigation.
[General Questions and Answers] ypsmav:
Dear all,

I'm facing a problem with all ROMs including the new versions of Manila 2.5.2012 and newer, which is driving me crazy.

Roms work ok, but after sync with my work's exchange account (exchange 2007 sever), Manila suddenly start to freeze continuously. Specially when accessing HTC People which is checking the emails received from each contact.

I spent long hours trying to find out what could be the problem, flashed several different ROMs, task29, hard rested, and made several test with different configurations and always the same problem. I can't have my corporate exchange email and run Manila 2.5.2012.

Edit:

After investigation, it seems that this problem affect other people (including HD2 users) and no only with exchange.

Problem is related to the package Contact Utility engine.

I tried cooking with the newer packages, but I got the problem, so I'm stuck with Manila 2.5.1921

The problem appears when you have a complex email folder structure on your email account (many folders and subfolders), large quantity of contacts with several emails and details on each contact or when you have or restore large quantity of SMSs.

When you click on a contact, Manila.exe and filesys.exe use 100% of the CPU, blocking the device.

Question:

Does someone knows how manila handles the filesys.exe?

There is a utility that might helped and it's called "stay unlocked".

Oh and I should mention I dont notice anything like that on my ROM and I have exchange 2010 as well.
[General Questions and Answers] ypsmav:
thanks for your replies.

I gave a try to the "Stay Unlocked" utility, works nice, but only prevent the lock to be installed, other policies seems to be applied.

It created the log (attached), with all the policies downloaded to the phone, but not detailed enough to understand which one has been applied and which is the registry key that could be creating the problem.

I'm running out of ideas... :(

HI

I'm just having the same issue

I have post on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=675661

I have found that if I just sync contacts manila is fast. But If I sync contacts and Emails, every time I got to contact detail is very slow, caling a diferent number of the contact can take 10 secs.. If I select the email tab of the contact is slow also.

All these slowdowns are fixed if I don't sync the emails..

Did you find a solution?

Thanks!

Note: like you with mabila 2.5.19 everything is fast but with manila is > 2.5.2012 then There are slowdowns..
[General Questions and Answers] ypsmav:
Hi,

No, I haven't found a solution yet.

I've seen that you are on a HD2, which is much faster than my blackstone. If you are having problems with 1 Ghz, I'm dead....

I've been looking if posible to extract the HTC people from Manila 2.5.1920 and install over the 2.5.2012, but I didn't time to try, and It also doesn't seem to be easy as Manila is quite complex. Maybe NRGZ28 could help (Please!)

Have you tried to ask your IT dept to remove the IT policies and try again after a hard reset? My IT people sucks and not helping...

BTW, I had to flash an old 2.5.1920 Rom....

[General Questions and Answers] iosub:
hi .

yes this is a manila problem but I'm not sure if is a exchange policy problem .

I have an exchange 2010 server, I have check the policies all are set as default , no modifycations. no password lock etc.. I have check the report email on the sync process and there are no errors .

also there are other users with lotus so.. I don't think is a policy problem. this is just a software problem and is related to my post. people tab makes a lookup to emails and this change has been introduced on manila 2.5.20 . on manila 2.5.19 there is a lookup but only when you select the email tab of the contact .

I have install a manila kitchen to see if I can find some think..

I will post more info on my post

[General Questions and Answers] ypsmav:
I've seen your post and notice that there are more people having the same problem.

What it's really strange it's that not all the people using exchange is facing the problem. This is what it's making me think that it's related to the config of the server.

Let's see if the newer manila version works better.
[General Questions and Answers] iosub:
Hi

I control my servers so If you know want to test I can test.

BTW... I have move all the email fields of the contact to the Notes field and now "All people" is fast!

Anyone bought it?

http://cgi.ebay.com/2400mAh-Extende..._Accessories&hash=item5ad84bc6c0#ht_500wt_750

I'm curious about how it will fit and if its secure.
[HD2 Accessories] anor80:
I have this battery, and i found the fitting it not that good. I had to trim down some edges from the plastic cover to fit properly. Also the battery lifetime doesn't impress me much, so it's my backup battery now and the original will be my primal.
[HD2 Accessories] cliq:
so is it a no buy? does it last???

man... I really wanted a long lasting battery

at last a 1 day without charge

the only cons is the battery life.

=================

"lifetime doesn't impress me much"

it's really that bad? What do you think its the REAL capacity?

it's printed 2400mh...

You think it last 30% more than a original battery?

I was expecting to last 50% more at least...
[HD2 Accessories] anor80:
I really doubt it is even 30%, i haven´t tested it thoroughly but i found that i was at the same percentage at the end of the day with the fat battery as with the orignal one. So i just have this fat battery with me in case of an ermergency or so. My original battery now last 3 days for me so i can deal with that, i don´t use it that often.

I would not buy it for a second time, even tho it is really cheap.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ZaxXx:
Hi all,

HTC has released a new version of Sense (2.5, the one with shortcuts on homescreen) for Touch Pro 2 and Touch Diamond 2. My friend has TP2 with the new sense and it was very smooth and fast (it was so fast that it really surprised me alot!), not like the Sense 2.5 ROMs released here which are laggy, slow and for me not ready for everyday use. I wonder if it's possible to have this version of Sense on THD as it has the same hardware as TP2... I also hope someone will make it with WM 6.1 as I don't like 6.5(.x), it would be really awesome :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Smobbo:
Most of the Manila 2.5s that are used here are from the Topaz Roms...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ZaxXx:
So why are they so slow? The one I saw on the friend's TP2 was even smoother and faster than old manila 2.1 on my THD and I've tried many 2.1 and 2.5 ROMs so far...

EDIT: I've look randomly in some threads with 2.5 ROMs and all of them said "Sense 2.5 Leo" which means it's from HD2...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] accountabc:
it isn't just the manilla version. The TP2 has native WM 6.5 drivers, while our blackstone only has (modified) WM 6.1 drivers. That's the main reason for the Backstone being slower.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ZaxXx:
And it can't be fixed? Did anyone try just using TP2 drivers on THD? It has the same hardware so it may work and be fast...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] accountabc:
I'm not sure, but I think if it was easy to do, someone would have done that a long time ago ;). I beleave the drivers need to be ported first. The problem is the HD doesn't have the exact same hardware as the Diamond 2 and the TP2; the amount of ROM and RAM are the same, as is the CPU clockspeed, but the chipsets are slightly different. Our blackstone has a Qualcomm 7201A chipset while the D2 and TP2 have the Qualcomm 7200a chipset (topic about this here).

You could try asking your question in the graphics driver development topic over at the rom development board if you want more information about this.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] millski:
I know this isn't quite what you guys were talking about but the TP2 (Rhodium) does have significantly different hardware to the HD: it has a hardware keyboard. I only point this out as it's indicative of the differences between the 2 devices. If the same software were released with specififc drivers to fit the 2 different sets of hardware they'd perform pretty similarly, but the HD has been left behind in support for WM 6.5. As a result Rhodium based roms (like my own rom) have to use 'hacks' or mods to get simple things like the volume keys to work correctly with the latest Sense manila builds. Ironically the HD2 has very similar hardware to the HD but is considerably more powerful; Leo based roms are designed to fit within a power range beyond anything the HD was ever designed to achieve, so they can suffer from slowdown.

It's a matter of personal taste with roms. The HD reached the pinnacle of it's support from HTC with manila (TF3D) 1.3 and WM 6.1 so that should be the ideal for perfromance. Manila 2.0 and 2.1 seem to work fast and well though, thanks to the good people of XDA and the other sites. Similarly WM 6.5 functions just fine on the HD. 6.5.x lacks drivers for certain functions (volume control). As for manila (Sense 2.5) the HD was never supported, though it seems to run fine but a little slow in places (HTC messaging probably bening the low point). My roms use Rhodium 2.5 manila because I find it to be faster. I have performed no benchmarking, just user experience, to come to this conclusion. It makes sense though when you accept that removing a few tabs will inevitably speed things up (documents, ereader and footprints are Leo exclusive for now) and that the Rhodium and Topaz 2.5 manila builds are (theoretically) optimized for non-snapdragon processors.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ZaxXx:
Well, I think I won't care about this stuff any more. HD is "outdated" and can't have Sense running really smooth and fast. I'll stick with classic today plugins (SPB Pocket Plus have tabs and switching between them is much faster than any manila/sense) replacing the functionality of manila :) thanks anyway for answers

Htc messaging client

For the problem regarding the message disappearing then reappearing if you tap on the input area i have no clue why is that so and wondering is there a fix for that, or probably custom roms do not have that problem.

However, if you want to prevent the problem of "previous message is highlighted for no reason.." i suggest each time you reply to a message in HTC Sense, use the right softkey and choose reply, the previous message is probably highlighted because you tap on the actual message and start replying from there, as you chose to enter the messaging client to view that message and the HTC MESSAGING CLIENT takes time to load all the messages from that contact, it will highlight that particular/latest message after loading all the previous messages associated with the contact hence the highlight interrupting your reply.

P.S sorry for my lengthy answer :o
[HD2 General] airwater9:
That doesn't solve the problem as that option is not available in the message string view.
[HD2 General] Bakedbread:
Yeah, i experience this problem too

i'm using 1.66 WWE ROM and im pretty sure its just on 1.66

Everyone using this ROM experiences it if you're in Conversation mode and select the text to reply..

Basically if you have a lot of messages with 1 person, the HD2 is loading the messages WHILE you're typing, and once its done loading, it will highlight the previous message and thats where your cursor disappears..

i'm still looking for a solution to this too

i'm curious if this appears on cooked ROMs like Duttys..

cause if it doesnt, i would probably think of upgrading haha

Me neither - I cannot say why sometimes it does it and other times it does not when operating the phone in the same fashion.

You guys need to log this with customer services so that they can get onto it for the forthcoming firmware update. This phone is not that new anymore and there will probably only be the odd software update coming in future.
