ROOT your phone and:

- get SetCPU app to throttle your CPU when screen is off or battery is low,

- downgrade radio if you will have a never version,

- use UnderVolted (UV) kernels (coming soon), that will decrease CPU power consumption and in many cases can add about 10% speed,

- use y5 battery saver app

OR

- set up locale + plugins to turn off some things (I turn off sync and wireless networks during night, when at home)
[Desire General] oursoul:
My battery is fine with 3g on, in fact I read somewhere that gprs can sometimes consume more battery since its 100 times slower at data connection than 3g/HSDPA etc..

I just turn off wifi & synch when I leave my home and do manual refresh's if I need to, at home it is always connected by USB to my computer, but I will get a dock for it at some point.
[Desire General] Whiterin:
3g mostly sucks battery when it has a hard time staying connected. It's the constant scanning and reconnecting that kills the battery. I would say root it as soon as you get it. I haven't rooted mine and its fine. Apparently there are still some issues with rooting the Desire too. It would be nice to have an overclock/underclock utility though.

[General Questions and Answers] jsteel85:
Hi,

I bought an HP iPAQ 214 a few days ago and I'm concerned with the battery. I gave it a full charge (it reported 100%) and when I unplugged it, it dropped to 92% almost immediately. After draining the battery (which took about half a day with casual use) I gave it another full charge. This time it did not do the initial big drop, but it still seemed to drain faster than I felt it should.

For example, if I have a remote desktop session open for 2 1/2 minutes and browse the web for 2 1/2 minutes (example of 5 minutes use) I will loose between 3 and 5%. This battery is 2200mAh; I have an old model which has a 1100mAh and this battery seems better!

I can't find in any specifications of this model the estimated battery life. I believe I will get 3 or 4 hours at best, does that seem right? Maybe I'm just used to my netbook lasting twice, if not, three times as long as that and my phone lasts about a week with casual use. I feel I will need to charge the iPAQ once, if not two times a day; is that normal?

Are there any things I can try or does this battery seem bad?

Thanks for any advice

I would seriously talk to your doctor about that. It doesn't sound good.

Hi All,

I have tried almost all the Sense 2.5 ROMs for my TP2. I sync the TP2 with exchange activesync. All of them inevitably are very slow when I do any of the following:

1. Go to people open a contact, press back - takes 5-7 seconds to get back

2. Go to people, press all people, press back - takes 3-5 seconds to get back

3. Go to people, make a call, press home button from dialer canvass - takes 5-7 seconds to get back.

While I have about 2000 contacts, this has never given me a problem with Sense 2.1

I read somewhere about going to outlook and removing the HTC favourite categories and notes from contacts and then syncing again...did that...but didnt really help.

I would love to shift to Sense 2.5...but this is a real deal breaker. Any suggestions?

Hi,

You can try to disable the tab and use:

Resco Contact Manager (my favorite) - LINK

or

Photo Contacts Pro - LINK

These programs stay open all the time (will take some of your RAM) and that's why they load faster.

Try them, but NOT at the same time.

I've also "to much" contacts in my TP2 :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksporry:
Hi

I have an Orange (UK) HTC Hero. Works fine actually. However, i spotted a ROm upgrade dated 2010-02-04 on the HTC website (ROM Version:2.73.61.66 for Orange). Currently I am running version 2.73.61.5.

Do I get any benefit from upgrading to the new ROM version, and if yes, what would the benefit be?

Also, I understood from HTCs website that an upgrade wipes out everything on my phone, including Orange's setup. Does this mean that the phone also becomes sim free?

If I do perform the upgrade, how can I restore Orange's settings? SHould I write them down before I perform the upgrade, or could I go to the Orange shop and ask them to set it up for me?

Any advice would be appreciated

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksporry:
Actually, by now Orange UK is the only provioder worldwide that has not rolled out 2.1 for the Hero. So I say screw them, and I went for villainROM 12. Best thing I ever did, except I probably need to update the radio firmware, as now it seems to have degraded reception.

I now got all the goodies one would want on my hero. Now to unlock it! (but I know where to get a code for that, so no worries).

First and foremost I have minimal background in software developement.

I'm very visually oriented and hands on as well.. I do best with being shown what to do and then giving it a hand and seeing what it is that I can tinker around to change.

My education was minimal and far back and the career choices I made took me into a undergrond world where I had to develop and become like particular people who plague and hold our country back.

My communication skills have suffered drastically and certain definition in my normal vocabulary are not what most peoples are so there is simply a level of misconceptions, confusing understanding, and wrong impressions that would be on both ends if any one dares to help me.. (lol)

I'm looking into writing applications.. I have a Hero.. the SDK.. Eclipse classic.. AVD set up (But just realized how easily any thing i do goes straight to my phone while plugged in)

I watched a couple of youtube demos to get things set up..

I'm looking into some more and have just come across some samples and am doing a little bit..

Does anyone know of any video examples or written tutorials that will better show me how to modify some of these samples sources to get varying out puts..

The videos I keep coming across seem extraordinarly long and I'm looking to get straight to some points of seeing things that shows me like modify this and see this result.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys.

I'm moving to Tehran, Iran next week and have been looking for decent Navigation Software with good map coverage to help me get around when I get there... :confused:

I'm currently a TomTom 7 user with Map sets for both Europe and the Middle East but they do not currently do Maps that cover Iran?

I've found Navitel 3.2.6 (LINK) that has Iranian Maps but haven't committed to buy yet.

Does anyone have any alternate suggestions of which software I should buy or any experience of using Navitel 3.2.6 ???

Thoughts, Comments, Help and Suggestions very much appreciated.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
I thought that since some time ago there were maps for Iran for Garmin.

As this is commercial, I don´t know anything about pricing. Maybe you can

get the maps easier once you are in the country?

Even though the development of Garmin XT for PPC was frozen, it is still available, and it runs nicely on HD2.

wellcome to Iran every time you want ,but be careful of bAsIj's!

Well, as always XDA developers is what you use when noone else helps you, my freaking BA is acting strange:

1. The phone doesnt turn on when the battery is in. Tried charging the battery 100% and switching it on but it just doesnt turn on.

2. Now when I place the BA in the cradle, the phone turns on but it just keeps on restarting.

Somebody please help me out.

The phone worked fine until when I tried to tape the body and the battery with cello tape, that is when it went dead, and now I have the two problems mentioned above.

Help me guys,

Thanks a ton all.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] creso:
try a new battery.

and check the battery lock..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
You might have messed up the pins connecting the battery to the device. Also, the little lock for the battery could be damaged as well. Finally, your backup battery could have died also. Hopefully this will give you some guidance towards the root of the problem. Chef has a disassembly guide in his tutorial.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jack_brown12001:
well thanks guys for those responses. My updates are:

1. Since the battery was over 3 years old, I have ordered a new battery (yeah i know i should've checked with another battery first but damn noone else i know uses this phone). So till my new battery arrives I just got to wait.

2. Regarding ezthunder's replies... well I checked the battery connectors on the phone, they seem to look alright to me (physically), how do i test them to check if they're alright, pls help.

Also, regarding the backup battery, damn i would now need to search the net to find a new one.

The battery locking clip seems to be fine and is locks the battery in place, if this is damaged, I'd be freaking damned to try and get this one fixed.

So guys, any DIY suggestions to get these things fixed would be welcome as I dont wanna brick my BA, freaking just put in a new LCD digitizer.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
Let us know what happens when the new battery arrives and we'll go from there. :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jack_brown12001:
well my battery arrived yesterday, i put it in and tried to switch it on but alas nothing. Charged the battery full and put it in but no start up.

Just the same old problem, phone keeps restarting when in the cradle but nothing when out.

Help me guys............
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jack_brown12001:
Well still no response from the forum, however, I have a few updates and hope this could make it easier for someone to figure out the problem:

A strange thing happened yesterday -

1. when I disconnected the flex cable of the buttons and the keypad on the front panel from the main board and put the entire thing on the charging cradle. IT WORKED. I mean it didnt do the restarting problem, it worked perfect. However when I took it out of the cradle, it wont power on. While it was on on the cradle, i checked the internal battery and it showed 100% charge, which means that the internal battery is good.

2. Now back when I connected the flex cable to the connector on the board and power it on - nothing happens and when put in the cradle - the same restarting issue right after the statup screen.

So based on the above - what are your conclusions, is there a problem with the flex cable connector but then in that case it should start when taken out of the cradle.

And yes, its a new battery that I just got. So guess its not a problem with the battery...

Help me guys. I really want to get back my BA... it was such a pleasure to see it working in the cradle with mentioned in point 1 above.

PS. I left it on the charge for the whole night yesterday but no change when taken out of the cradle - just desperate to try anything to get it to work.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
Judging from this, it seems that there is a problem with the motherboard itself. I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like to me. You can probably get a new BA from Market Place. I have seen a few members selling them lately.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jack_brown12001:

[HD2 General] Psyrecx:
So I bought my HD2 2 weeks after they came out. Shortly after I tried buying an unlock code for my phone because t-mobiles service in my area is kind of come and go. Unfortunatly I have one of the 35777 Phones so after 4 attempts with 4 different sites failing at getting a code, I tried emailing tmobile to see if they would give me a code as they already told me they dont have service in my area. They told me to fax them a copy of my invoice proving I paid full price for the thing, so I did. About a week later they got back to me and said that due to the fact that I bought it from a site that was not one of their approved retailers I couldnt get an unlock code. So about a week and a half ago I went to a tmobile store and got the darn thing setup anyways. I get some service in this area, just not much. Now about 3 days ago, I get an email from t-mobile that looks like this:

T-Mobile Sim Unlock Request

Sim Unlock Reference: *******

IMEI: 35777*********

Unlock Code: ********

Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. Below you will see the Instructions for unlocking your HTC device.

1. Insert the foreign SIM card

2. Power on the device and the display should read "Please input unlock code"

3. Enter the unlock code and the device should display "Phone is unlocked."

4. Allow the phone to scan the network (or manually click on the antenna icon to do this)

It is very important that the instructions and SIM unlock code are entered correctly as listed. If you receive an error message while performing the instructions do not make any further attempts to unlock the handset. Please be aware that if an excessive amount of incorrect attempts are made, the phone will be permanently locked. You will need to verify the IMEI by pressing *#06# and contact Customer Care for support.

Thank You,

Sim Unlock Department

T-Mobile USA, Inc.

I kind of find this a bit odd. They tell me I cant get the number, then about a month later they randomly mail it to me anyway.
[HD2 General] roblh82:
sounds kind of odd... have you always had tmobile or did you just sign up to purchase the hd2?
[HD2 General] Psyrecx:
Neither, I had at&t before, Wanted to buy it and unlock it to use with at&t but in the process realized at&t's service is a bit of a ripoff. Atleast it is with standard plans. Wanted to try and use my hd2 with a gophone card but it doesnt seem to want to work.

I have an htc Touch HD

used almost all of the wm6.5.x roms and on all of them the same problem.

with autolock function enabled using HD Tweak when the back light is deeming due to small time of touching the screen when tapping again the light want return to default (bright so i can use it).

i must turn off the screen (using the power button) to revert and start using the phone again.

Any one has a solution for this?!

Don't use that autolock, it causes the problems that you just stated. Use csdevctrl instead:

Its a little tricky to figure out, but the autolock on it works perfectly. I can't remember what you have to press to initiate the autolock, but it isn't called autolock, something like lock display after suspend
