also, you can try the software "xmedia recode", this software allows to convert any video file to a format that the hd2 can play without any additional software.

Hello everyone,

I've got myself a new databundle which allows me to be connected to the internet constantly and I want to set up my email.

Now if i connect my topaz it sync's my outlook mail automaticly, but when disconnected it doesn't get my mail, when 3G and connection on.

I want the following:

When i'm not using the PC, I want my HTC to get the incoming mail for me but once connected to the pc again, these mails should have to by synced so they appear in my PC outlook at the end.

I don't know how it works in example, if I get a mail with alot of images or attachements, does the HTC download them? Or does it leave those messages on the server? I cannot lose them.

Or do I have to setup my HTC to leave a copy on the server so my outlook downloads the new messages again for a second time? (In that way only the mails that arrive on the go appear in my HTC and I can delete them without worries) - but is that even possible?

I'm really bad at understanding this.
[Networking] chrizz.o:
Hi,

have my Touch Pro2 set up like follows:

- imap connection to get all emails on the run. Means originals will be kept in your inbox.

- Sync connection to outlook with individual settings for what has to be synced. (can be set easily in the windows sync manager)

My Outlook is set up with a pop3 connection and finally collects the messages from the ISP-inbox to my local disc.

In that way I am always up to date but means a periodical syncing...
[Networking] Exca:
That seems what i need!

How can I setup the imap connection? I don't need all my mail on the HTC, i only want to store on my PC, just the new one's i like to read on the road when i'm gone, automatically being downloaded on my PC too when i'm on it again.

However, if I do sync my email with outlook, will the imap email and the synced outlook email be together in one folder or be seperated? Will there be doubles?

Thanks!
[Networking] Exca:
It seems that my ISP doesn't support IMAP. How can i set an option 'leave a copy of message on server' with my HTC and POP account?
[Networking] chrizz.o:
well actually when I'm on the go, I recieve all my mails via the imap connection. Imap means, that you download the email every time, when you want to read it on you HTC as long as the mail is not collected by your outlook. When you collect your emails via otlook to your local PC-disc, the mails will not be any more available via the imap connection on your phone after manual or automatic "updating".

In my HTC I have three folders set up. 1 folder is my PC outlook, the other two my email-accounts (IMAP). After having collected all my mails by outlook, I have to proceed a sync between PC and HTC and all my local stored Emails are on my HTC. Set up what and how e.g. will be done via the Mobile sync software from Microsoft.

Btw.: check your mail provider again (FAQ or else). Cannot imagine, that any mail-provider does not offer any IMAP function. Just had it years before with my dadys mail accounts. there was e.g no POP3 solution available but IMAP4...

Hi,

i have to purchase a windows mobile pda that is compatable with uka mft software to work with Sky as a installation engineer. does anyone know what phones this software is support on????
[Windows Mobile Software Development] -=s-b-h=-:
SPV M600, XDA ORbit anything along lines of that MDA compact II and III and a few others... getting the software installed is a pain in the ass tho !
[Desire General] MrVarioII:
Hey, wasn't sure where exactly this belonged so mods please forgive :-)

ok so.....After having tried the whole proceedure two or three times to get a2sd working (root etc has always worked. It's just a2sd that's the problem)

Here's what I did in detail for debugging of the process:

1. Goldcard in

2. Head to recovery using recovery-linux.sh method.

3. Wipe/Factory Reset

4. Wipe cache

5. Wipe dalvik-cache.

6. Redo Wipe/Factory Reset for good measure.

7. Install from zip - 'rootedupdate.zip'

8. reboot to recovery again via recovery linux keeping goldcard in (accidently missed the hold down of the key so got to the first boot screen and pulled the battery...and entered recovery again).

9. Wipe cache

10. wipe dalvik-cache - overkill much? ;-)

11. Flash from zip -' r1-a2sd-desire-dalvik-upgrade-signed.zip'

12. Power off. Change to 4GB card. Start again entering recovery menu.

13. Wipe SD:ext partition (don't think it'll do anything as I'm about to overwrite the partition table anyway but hey extra steps that might help?)

14. Partition SD Card Swap: 0MB Ext2-size: 0MB Fat32=remainder.....To wipe the old table.

15. Partition SD card Swap: 0MB Ext2-size: 768MB Fat32-size = remainder.

16. Convert ext2 ---> ext3

Note - Rather than copy all of my files now, which is what I did previously I'll put an extra reboot into the proceedure

17. Reboot with newly created memory card -skip my way through the setup stuff. Install titanium backup from market place. Size before (from settings):140Mb free Size after: 137mb .......Application administrator page within settings is showing Titanium backup as only 540kb + 328kb market cache and 52kb data for market....not sure where the rest has come from).

[Desire General] PaulW21781:
You installed the WRONG A2SD file. As its a fresh install, you need r1-a2sd-desire-dalvik-fresh-signed.zip
[Desire General] MrVarioII:
Thank you soooooooooo much Paul!

I've been waiting to see this screen for so long:

All's working great, though I observe that the market is working quite slowly. Images caching extremely slowly and things saying they'll download then not even appearing on the notification cue for a minute or two.....

Seems market doesn't like being on the SD card? any way we could arrange an exception for it? or is there some other work arround?

Anyway really really minor problem. I'm utterly ecstatic!
[Desire General] _Dejan_:
Which Class SD card do you have? I have 8GB Class6 adn all work ok same as before root+A2SD

I have next partitions:

swap 64MB

ext3 1024MB (Im create ext2 and then upgrade it by ext2->ext3 option)

FAT32: alll space which left
[Desire General] PaulW21781:
The market runs slow at times for me too, it was doing it long before rooting aswell, so I'm leaving that down to a problem with Google themselves.

Think the longest I've waited (pre-root) was nearly 5 minutes for something to begin to download, but other times its pretty instant. Same happens with A2SD, times vary from a few minutes to instant, I guess it just depends on how loaded googles servers are which run the Market system.
[Desire General] The Professor:
The Market also has to rebuild itself after a flash and find all your apps, etc. Just leave it be, it'll be plenty fast again.
[Nexus One General] rome425:
Has anyone tried this on Nexus One?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=670999

"GSM auto (PRL)" works on AT&T Nexus, I don't know if it improves the battery life over "WCDMA preferred"

***EDIT***

Looks like this process works by improving battery life when phone is idle. Here are the instructions from the first original post.

Results for HTC Hero:
[Nexus One General] miketlo:
I'll give it a try :)
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
i read the first page, what exactly does "PRL" stand for? and isnt this just using GSM-only? how is it able to use gsm but then switch to HSDPA (3g) for data? i didnt think that was possible.
[Nexus One General] masse1369:
I have been doing that for a long time and I'm pretty sure it helps...

Just set it to WCDMA only and you are all set...
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
well I think this really might help. I changed it to gsm auto (PRL) and my phone still uses 3g and my battery only dropped 2% in an hour and 10 min. went from 86 to 84% which it used to drop like 6% in That same time period.

I have to do more testing though to really know for sure.
[Nexus One General] apolloms:
mine was on WCDMA preferred....will i lose anything by switching to GSM AUTO (PRL)?
[Nexus One General] veldargk:
Giving this a whirl. When I'm at home and at work I'm on wifi which, combined, is like 90% of the time the phone is running so not sure how much it will affect me, but lets see :)

Jim
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
you won't lose anything from my testing so far. full 3g still works and my data speeds are over 1.5 Mbps.

my theory is that this stops our phone from constantly searching for a roaming partner/network. if true ATT has no roaming agreements so who cares.
[Nexus One General] apolloms:
it seemed to not allow me to download anything from the app market

edit: it just takes a long time now
[Nexus One General] miketlo:
I had that problem too but i wasnt sure if it was just where i was
[Nexus One General] GarJones27:
Just set to GSM AUTO (PRL) and reboot.

I downloaded two apps from the market and both downloaded faster than usual. Also the browser seems to load faster.

I'll report back with battery data.
[Nexus One General] GlenH:
It may be that this saves battery by using the PRL acquisition and system tables for allowed frequency + system lists, thus stopping the phone from searching all the time.

I've not had it on this setting very long so I can't really tell yet, but it looks encouraging so far...
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
i still am testing, but i have definitely noticed a MAJOR improvement so far. for example this morning my phoen has been off the charger for 4 hours, and i'm still above 90%. on normal days, my phone would have dropped much more than this.

and the battery voltage seems to be staying constant too. for example my batter was at 4040 mV, and i checked an hour later, and it was still at 4040 mV. this NEVER happened before, it would always drop some amount.

is it possible that this entire time our phones have been actively searching and updating the roaming list, but with this setting now its just locked on the home network and not searching anymore?
[Nexus One General] Drakknar:
I can confirm that. My phone seems to use much less power while in standby mode and it just dropped from 99% to 89% in 7 hrs, with auto synching of Gmail, Facebook and other stuff, while in the last days I could experience drops of 10% in about 1.5/2 hrs. I'll keep testing this mode and will post back if I'll have something interesting to share :)

Thanks for sharing the trick mate! :)
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
exactly my usage pattern, and my battery used to drop the same amount as you.

i used to kill 10% in an hour EASILY, sometimes more if i used the phone hear and there. but now with this setting, i'm now at 7.5 hours, and way more than half battery left still. on normal days my battery would be dead in 6 hours sometimes. huge improvement.
[Nexus One General] Macmee:
I am not with a GSM carrier. Would I click CDMA?
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
i think the other thread said for CDMA users, you pick CDMA Auto (PRL). you should probably read the linked thread to be sure.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
I didn't think there was a CDMA version of the Nexus out, just the two GSM versions.
[Nexus One General] Macmee:
well the CDMA option didn't do anything and gave me no service sadly.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Well, that's because you aren't on a CDMA carrier then. I checked and the Nexus One only comes in GSM. If this is a Nexus One you have, then you are have a GSM version, and are on a GSM carrier.

Um, surprise! ;)
[Nexus One General] apolloms:
i am in this boat as well, i'm amazed with the improvement.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Yeah, just tried it for the past few hours. It really improves the idle power usage. 3G speeds seem the same to me, and normal usage seems the same. But idle barely uses any power.
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
Testing this out... I'll report back in a few hours... Thank you for this :)
[Nexus One General] fallingd0wn:
I'm noticing a definite improvement in battery life as well. Out of curiosity, I checked my friend's Moto Droid. It came from VZ set for CDMA AUTO (PRL).
[Nexus One General] Macmee:
Bell Mobility is not a GSM carrier I don't think. I'm pretty sure they're WCDMA
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
so today at the end me the work day, in battery settings, I made it 12.5 hours with medium to heavy usage, without a single recharge. this is double what I would normally get, and that wasn't even being mindful of anything. unplugged at 6:30 am and went a full work day. amazing! I'm so excited right now over something so dumb, but this is how the phone SHOULD have performed from day 1.

it seems not everyone sees this improvement. my theory is some networks must be configured differently than others such that this setting either has an effect or not. because some people claim to have always gotten 12-24 hours on the nexus, while others barely made it 7 hours. I bet that the first group of those people were on networks which were setup to give good battery life, and the second group, like me, got horrible battery.
[Nexus One General] GlenH:
After testing for a day or so, I can confirm that this definitely improves battery life in standby for me (on Orange, UK).

With GSM Auto (PRL) I get a drain of around 0.8% an hour at my home location, which is similar to GSM (2G) only.

For comparison, WCDMA prefered gives me about twice that drain (~1.5% and hour).
[Nexus One General] krohnjw:
Bell does operate a GSM network in canada now according to this: http://www.canadiancontent.net/mobile/bell_mobility/

If you have voice service on your N1 then you are definitely on GSM towers.

WCDMA is a GSM technology, not a CDMA technology despite its name :) http://www.gsmworld.com/technology/3gsm/index.htm
[Nexus One General] nazrin313:
What if I chose WCDMA only? Should do the same thing right?
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Ah, I see the confusion. Yeah, like the other poster said, WCDMA is actually a GSM-type technology. Bell just doesn't have the 2G GSM, but they have 3G GSM (WCDMA). But that's too many acronyms for my poor brain.
[Nexus One General] kaiser_tytnii:
testing it now... used to go down by 4% every hour, will report back
[Nexus One General] tonnic:
it's been just over 24 minutes and I have 89% ... anyone else this bad?
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
no i dont think it will be the same. i think you will get the same poor battery life with that setting. but of course you can use that one, and the phone will work fine.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
no way. i took my phone off the charger 1 hour and 40 minutes ago, and my battery is at 98%. before this setting i would already be at 89% though after an hour.
[Nexus One General] D200P13:
what is recommended for T-Mobile USA?

at home on 3g-hspda

plan to travel so want the best network. is gsm auto prl recommended for this or should i use gsm/cdma auto prl?
[Nexus One General] lilcleo001:
im on T-mobile usa. I tried GSM AUTO (PRL) (not knowing what I am suppose to use) and i can really notice it is a lot FASTER. I changed it at about 2:25pm pacific. I'm at 34% battery. I'll post a reply to see if the battery improves.
[Nexus One General] hah2110:
I'm confused and maybe I missed this... Does this have an effect on the ability for the phone to swap between edge and 3g?
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
not at all. the phone still uses 3G all the time, and switches to EDGE only when you lose 3g just like it normally would. at least that's how its been for me with this setting.

so far today i've been unplugged for exactly 8 hours and i have 58% battery left. that's a lot better than i used to get. i can probably make it 20 hours at this rate, when used to die at around 7-8 hours.
[Nexus One General] bachviet:
No it doesn't but I think it will pick up EDGE instead of 3G in area with weak 3G signal (GSM preferred instead of WCDMA.
[Nexus One General] hah2110:
Hmm... i could see how that would benefit battery life to avoid the swapping - but that could be annoying.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
I don't know cause I enter edge areas everyday and the phone hasn't acted any different than it normally did when set to wcdma preferred. I don't see any downsides so far.

I just played with the incredible at Verizon and all their android phones were set to cdma auto (prl). 2 droids, am eris, and 2 incredibles.
[Nexus One General] Sindroid:
So far so good. It picks up 3G allright when im in covered area.

12 hours since i hooked of the phone. 20 min. Music and 20-25 min. of surfing web. On standby otherwise. No calls have been made during this time.

Battery after i came home :72%
[Nexus One General] tonnic:
woh....I think this is by life saver! I am just over 10 minutes and I'm at 96%.....

sweet find whomever figured that out!
[Nexus One General] Vandam500:
Just went ahead and did it. Will come back this evening to post my results!.
[Nexus One General] mutantblack:
just did this. Let's see how it performs. If the battery life is good enough, then I can finally auto sync my facebook and twitters.

Thanks OP and whoever found this.
[Nexus One General] wondercoolguy:
I just did this and I'll report back because I've been getting terrible battery life. I thought it was the rom I was on so I switch to Cy to see if was any better.

Infact I got a question for anyone that might know something. I would play with my N1 while on the charger and I would decrease battery life while I was on the charger is there somthing I'm doing wrong.

I use setcpu, power manager, and process manager to maintain my phone
[Nexus One General] Gedi77:
will this setting affect the phones ability to roam on other carriers?
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
just wanted to give an update. I unplugged my phone last night. it was idle all night, time unplugged is 12 hours, and I am at 89% battery.

I don't have anything to compare, is this normal or better than normal?
[Nexus One General] lostsoul3471:
omg... the fix on a stock phone increased it to finally getting a better battery life than an iphone! I can go all day on a charge in my area. (gets down to 20%)

Now i just went to a CM rom to see if it gets any better. However I noted that you have to apply the fix again if you do. Otherwise you may not see an improvement.
[Nexus One General] hah2110:
That is PHENOMENAL. Are you on a AVS Kernel?
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
-------------------------------------

Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App

No, this is just on a stock ROM. I have not yet rooted cause I'm lazy.

I figured this was decent, but the bad part is I actually slept 12 hours straight last night. So that is ALL idle time if that makes a difference. At that rate the phone could last 120 hours on stand by, which is 5 days straight. Seems right according to the specs.
[Nexus One General] mutantblack:
I tried this and I see a bit of improvement but not dramatically.thx op

Mutantblack
[Nexus One General] lorin.bute:
Just applied the settings, will report back with results.
[Nexus One General] jamesyb0i:
my n1 was on 'GSM only' already. is this because I selected 'only use 2G networks (saves battery)' in the mobile wireless settings? - will report back
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
This is not the same thing. Gsm only will obviously give you much better battery life, probably double that of 3g.
[Nexus One General] lynx_deb:
in my country, with this settings (GSM Auto PRL) I don't see any difference..

if the 3G signal is weak the phone still try to keetp weak signal instead of strenght 2G signal with a bad battery life :(

I only use 3G on open area when I really need, cause this phone seems to stupid to understand which signal to keep based on signal strenght..
[Nexus One General] jamesyb0i:
a 7 hour sleep and I only lost 4% battery! (changed from GSM only to GSM auto) however also changed from cyanogen to enoms official rom and I'm not sure how this rom drains battery but usually i'd be down 30% after one night.
[Nexus One General] joel.bourquard:
The settings are not preserved after a reboot, are they?
[Nexus One General] arjay88:
nah i notice the setting doesnt fully stay in tact mines goes back to WDCMA prefered if you take out the sim, or turn airplane mode on and off etc.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Yes the setting stays for me when I reboot.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Pretty good huh? I lost 11% in 12 hours.
[Nexus One General] lorin.bute:
Ok, reporting back.

Unplugged the phone at 8:00 AM - 100%.

End of work day (5:00 PM) - 45% with minimum use.

Conclusion: it doesn't work for me.

I used to get home with at least 60% on the original settings (including 1 hour of music playback and some browsing here and there).
[Nexus One General] ClanLee:
I have to say, setting to GSM auto (PRL) seemed to have given my phone great battery life. Of course, I'll have to monitor for more than just one day... but this is what I received.

Voice Calls - 33 minutes

Display - 43 minutes

Cell Standby - 10h 4 minutes

Phone Idle - 9h 21 minutes

Android System - 8 minutes

WiFi - 6h 34 minutes

9h 30 minutes since taking off the charger this morning, I am at 64% battery. Not too shabby.
[Nexus One General] bouyark:
Thanks for this tip

I am enjoying excellent battery life as well. Below are some screenshots of my battery performance.
[Nexus One General] D200P13:
err. i use my phone too much because my display is always the highest. maybe thats why my batter drains. oled is a love/hate technology i guess. love th hd hate the power.
[Nexus One General] sheek360:
Testing. Will report soon with findings. Thanks to who ever discovered this!
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
It seems that after setting to GSM auto the phone uses the same battery as always when you're using it, browsing the web and stuff; I was using it for some time yesterday and I could almost watch the battery go down, 1% at a time.

Yet, when the phone is idle the battery consumption seems to freeze :eek: normally I struggle to keep the thing working until 21:30 when I get home, yet yesterday I plugged it in at 23:30 and it still had some juice, even though I had been playing with it a lot and even taken it out to run (e.g. used the music player and GPS for almost one hour).

This thread is really amazing and should be stickied.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
testing it...I found it weird I would loose about 12% in 5 hours on stand by...lets see if this fixes it...:rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] sheek360:
wow, usually i burn 40% battery by the time I wake up. This morning I wasted only 20%. its definitely a keeper. I noticed that the signal isnt hunting for 3g as much as before, I find that interesting. Atleast my signal didnt get worse, didnt get better either. Yup, definitely a keeper!

Posted this on Android community, this procedure should be stickied
