[Desire General] bradavon:
I've not missed any point thank you. I asked for advice why the home screen was crashing and I was given it. I read that informative document over at Android HQ and now have a better idea of how Android memory management works.

It still means I want to be in control of the apps running on "my" phone. Some apps consume way too much memory (although as that document describes, that "usually" isn't a problem) and some connect with my phone's data connection way too often. It also annoys me Apps I never ever use still insist in running all the time, like the Stock Control App and Footprints (does anyone use that?). The latter seems to do more than it appears (usually if I kill it, it takes the home screen with it). I don't kill those two any more but it still annoys me they run.

It looks like Android is much, much better than Windows Mobile at App memory management but that too claimed to kill apps when memory was low. Except it never did.

Since "not killing" system services/apps my Desire's Home Screen hasn't crashed once. I see no harm in killing Third Party Apps, as Krpano says it can sometimes be necessary.

It's always really annoyed me Windows Mobile has no ethos of a simple "exit" button, so few apps have it. On Android I've yet to come across any app with an exit buton. Some apps say they have one but it merely hides the app to the background. We should be given the choice of exiting an app, when we're finished with it. Windows, Linux (correct me if I'm wrong) and MAC OS all have such a feature as default.
[Desire General] cgrec92:
OR you can just let Android do all this for you...
[Desire General] apprentice:
That was a bit harsh my friend!
[Desire General] foner78:
While I respect the point that it is YOUR phone and of course you can choose how you use it, we are simply offering you advice. Please don't take offence at this, but some of the things you say in your last post show us that you still do not understand Android processes.

I would just like to explain that very often when you see an app "running" in the background using a Task Manager, it is not actually running at all... by which I mean it is not consuming any CPU time. These apps are simply left resident in the memory so that they are quick to resume if/when you come to use them again. When memory is short and another task tries to grab some Android makes a decision about which of those applications you are least likely to use again soon and kills it. Literally kills it, erasing all traces from memory. This is of course totally transparent to the user.

On older Android phones the "cleanups" often resulted in pauses in the user experience and this is why I used a Task Manager on my G1. However the Desire has so much more memory and CPU time combined with the updated Android code that this all happens without you seeing it. I would suggest to you that the only reason you are aware of these apps in the background is because you have gone looking in a Task Manager which is giving you misleading information.

I don't recommend removing the Task Manager, it is useful when an App does "go bad", but I strongly recommend disabling all automated task killing. By running that you are using actual CPU time and battery resources, which has a greater impact on overall system performance than the resident background applications. You may disagree based on your PC or WinMo experience, but it simple is the case with Android which manages tasks and memory very differently to those.

The final point is... having 30MB of free memory on the device is no different to having 40MB free. As long as a process has space to load and run it the "free" space is irrelevant on these devices. When a process doesn't have space Android makes space by killing the background apps in the most efficient way possible.

I hope you'll consider my advice carefully and at least try it, you will have a better Android experience if you do, but of course if you choose to do things your way then I still hope you have a good experience with your Desire :)

I've got my Desire hooked up to my headunit.

It works great apart from tracknames which I can live without and switching albums/artists .

Anyone know of a workaround or setting so you can switch which artist/album you are currently listening too? I'd imagine it would be the Up/Down arrows on my headunit but this doesn't change anything.

Switching tracks works fine btw.

Hi,

Is it possible to use the kimera_kernel_overclock710.zip on my rooted stock 2.73.405.66?

I have successfully used the overclock on the intended kimera 1.8 Rom but don't like the hassle of restoring all my apps and settings.

I have no problems with my current rooted stock Rom but would love to use the overclock to achive the linpack score of 3.2

I have also tried the lightspeed kernel but my phone stops on hero boot logo?

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:
We run Exchange 2003 here. Push sync is apparently not working on our T-Mobile HTC Desires. The device makes no attempt to sync unless and until you visit the Mail app. We're due to be upgrading to Exchange 2010 this year but until then I'm wondering if anyone else has similar experiences or ideas for a workaround (other than changing to a 5 minute poll frequency).

Actually this seems to be just one of many things (e.g. buggy IMAP implementation) that's broken with the stock Mail app. Haven't tried a reboot yet but even if that fixes this for our phones, it's hardly a "fix"...
[Desire General] carrige:
Go to Settings > Accounts & Sync and make sure 'Auto-sync' is checked. I was stumped for the better part of a week before I figured out why my Gmail/exchange push wasn't working - this was the reason.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Have you tried Touchdown to see if that works ok? Whilst it is a paid app, it is better suited to a corporate environment than the standard HTC offering.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:
@carrige: 'fraid not. Syncing is all set up correctly.

@foxmeister: Yes, TouchDown is on my radar. So far however, none of my users require Task syncing, which as far as I can see is the only particular feature advantage that TouchDown has over the HTC app (assuming the app works). Plus, TouchDown is uglier. :D

I appear to have found the solution though. It's obscure, so bear with me.

Ever since we started using DirectPush, our Exchange server has been logging errors along the following lines:

Push email and Outlook Web Access always worked fine, so I just filed this under "annoyances". Well, it transpires that the problem is down to a misconfiguration within IIS. From EventID.net:

Now, this doesn't make sense, since we enforce HTTPS on a custom port. Nevertheless, making this change has simultaneously stopped the annoyance logging, and resolved the push email problem on the HTC mail app.

Result!
[Desire General] Southbarn:
Exchange Active Sync on HTC Desire stopped pushing

Hi Rob - got a similar problem that only started on Tuesday this week 11th and haven't been able to figure it out. Guess it must be EAS on 2003 on my home server as I haven't lost any other functionality on the phone (eg internet access data connection, SMS etc)

However I don't have the error 400 code on my server admin and trying the fix you suggested didn't work as there were no header to delete.

Any clues? Seems to be a widespread problem...? Thanks.
[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:
If you force a sync and look in your application/security logs, can you see the connection being made by the phone?
[Desire General] Southbarn:
Fixed it

Rob - thanks for advice. I seem to have fixed the problem by deleting the acount and re-instating it. Not very scientific and doen't help understand whay it broke in the first place, but at least it work now.. Lets see how long it lasts.

BTW called Orange and whilst they were very helpful, they weren't aware of a generic problem.

Also, have now changed the APN setting which were mostly blanks so could have been these (or lack of them( that might have caused the problem.:confused:
[Desire General] Robberbobbles:
Interesting that you resorted to removing the account, I had to do the same when my HTC Desire stopped being able to send emails. Receiving was fine, but impossible to send. Deleted account and re-installed, problem resolved.

Only issue now, which is what I was searching for when I came across this thread, is that occassionally I get emails that simply will never arrive on the handset. At home I mix between WIFI and GSM connection, and push appears to work perfectly. Today I discovered that 3 or 4 internal corporate emails of 20 or more received during my manual sync off-peak period, just will not come down to the phone. They are on the server, on my laptop, but not on the phone. Touchdown, running in paralll to Android mail client, has them perfectly.

Any ideas anyone?
[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:
For me unfortunately the conclusion is absolutely inescapable. In a corporate environment, the niggles with the stock HTC mail app are unacceptable.

But the good news is that Touchdown is only $20, which really isn't that much to pay if you take into account the overall cost of whatever package your users are on. After a short trial of Touchdown, I'm going to start deploying it to my user base shortly.

Shame on HTC for releasing the phone to market with so many bugs. But I suppose that's what we get for being early adopters...

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] andrew-evoken:
the problem is that I cannot calibrate my touchscrren.....the screen is not broken,but although I can't pass the calibration.....the screen respond incorrectly to taps....i press the start button at top but it opens the contacts which are located at the bottom....that is why I'm asking for calibrationData from other BA users
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
i just aligned my screen, so the values should be fairly accurate. the exact value of the key <CalibrationData> is:

503,511_152,244_160,775_862,774_861,255_

replace all _ with spaces, i just used them to make it more obvious, especially that there is one at the very end of the line.

:):):):):)Thank you very much,it seems that something has changed......now the tap on the screen reacts in another way that i'm used to.......my problem is still remains.....

Can anyone help me with my screen?

It's not broken....it's clean there is no dust or something on digitizer....nothing helps....it just suddenly stopped working and that is it:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] creso:
here's what you need i think..i used it before with my broken digitizer and it work..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=218992

just download the file ,msp_remotealignment.zip then run it to your pc..and open it in your program files on your pc.( C / program files / code factory /remote screen alignment ,then follows the instruction from there...

hope it'll work for you...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] creso:
oh the instruction..i forgot hehehe

1. Download the latest activesync and connect your mda to your computer and verify your device is connected(not as guest)

2. Perform a soft/hard reset on your MDA then tap your screen to start the screen alignment wizard

3. Download the remote screen alignment tool attached and install it on your machine.

4. Download the wiza200.txt file attached and rename it to WIZA200.dat then put it in the C:\Program Files\Code Factory\Remote Screen Alignment directory on your computer

5. Ensure your MDA is connected to your pc(A green activesync Icon usually indicates a connection :P)

6. Open the remote screen alignment tool on your pc meanwhile your phone be displaying the alignment screen wizard.

7. Click SKIP in the screen alignment tool.

Assuming everything went fine a message box displaying "The operation has been completed successfully. Your device will be restarted." should pop up on your computer and your device should restart. Afterwards your phone will run the files it always does when you do a soft/hard reset then you touch screen should be properly calibrated and work fine.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] andrew-evoken:
I've done everything as you said....it just bypassed the calibration screen after hard reset...It can be made much easier by copying WELCOME.NOT to a storage card and hard reset the device....

My problem still remains:confused::confused:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] creso:
replace your digitizer its the only way my friend..or try to resolder the digitizer terminal..but do it gently..ayt..

oh whats the history of your B.A. before you have problem with your touchscreen?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] andrew-evoken:
I don't think I can resolder it by myself because I don't have the necessary tools....perhaps I will have to go to a service center and repair it or buy a new digitizer from ebay (((((

The history?Everything worked fine until one morning when I realised that there is a problem with touchscreen....Before going to sleep I adjusted my alarm clock and went to sleep...in the mornig when I woke up the touchscreen didn't work properly anymore:(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
+1 on the digitizer replacement. If you already did the calibration by hand, that means that the digitizer is messed up. Alternatively, you could try to play with values since it might only be an off-set (I reach this conclusion after seeing that you have tried Chef's values and the behavior changed). The only problem with this is the fact that it is trial and error :(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] TONIMASS:
Great work bros longlife & more greant works

It worked perfectly
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] muckelmaus:
Sounds like some dust or sand between cover and the digitizer or somehow twisted cover. Try to dismantle and reassemble. In case, one of the screws is loose use super-glew to fix it. Clean or replace the double sided tape that fixes the screen.

Now I have the full list in Moxier contacts and only a limited subset in the Phone contacts. Is it possible to have all contacts in both places.

Hi. Just got my unbranded desire on 3 UK contract. I saw data roaming in settings. I take it that this allows me to use mobile internet when I'm out of 3's signal. Is there any extra charge for using this? I have 'unlimited' internet on my contract. Thanks

3 roams onto Orange 2G when their 3G network is unavailable. There's no charge for this for either voice or data, as it is just part of an agreement 3 have with Orange as 3 do not have a 2G network.

If you go abroad though, using data whilst roaming will cost you an awful lot of money unless your network has special packages in place (e.g. Vodafone and T-Mobile).

that would definitely for sure probably be da ribbon cable connecting both parts of your precious.

other options would be connector on your mobo (motherboard) which would be more painful, but still fixable in service. or a chip, but that is definitely not very probable.

start here:

$25

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Flex-Cable-R...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item439f46e5b3

it would be quite expensive for just a ribbon, but as you can see there is more on it. and the price is fair.

Hi all,

I'm quite sure I had this setting in Villain 5.4, but since I got 5.5, this setting is missing in settings->applications. Is there a way to put it back easily, or maybe my customizing the app2sd script ? Or at least, can I execute the script again sometimes to do it ?

Also, just another question : I know someone who has a 16gb sd card class 2 on a desire (great phone btw) and I said that since he moved his apps to sd, he don't feel any difference, even with class 2. Does it worth buying a class 4 or 6 when these are twice or even more the price ???
