[Droid Eris Accessories] Lemcott:
I might save that upgrade...

[Droid Eris Accessories] Palmbxr:
What is that phone? It looks amazing and looks like hd2

The rumored Motorola Shadow. Has a better gpu than the Incredible(so I read), which means better video support, and I think even better flash 10.1 support, on a 4.1in screen. The cpu is the like a faster/newer version of what you see on the current Droid, and GPU is suppose to be now 80% or so faster than the Droid from video I saw of the processors running on Android 2.1 on a reference device. The screen is suppose to be LCD so its not as vibrant as the Incredible, but it is better to use in direct sunlight.
[Droid Eris Accessories] .mak:
That's what I'm getting for my NE2, provided it is superior to the Incredible. If it's not, I'll be switching to Sprint for the EVO and the better reception where I live.

I'll still be trying to squeeze a free replacement out of Verizon, which reminds me I better call them before they close :)

[Droid Eris Accessories] Lemcott:
wellllllll... maybe.

Motorola also owns the trademark for "Droid Ultra" (along other things) and moto has 2 model numbers in verizon's systems. one just letters/numbers and another for "DRU-###" ( where "#" means numbers, I didnt get a chance to write them down when I saw it).

I belive this manual is for the droid ultra, or droid 2 or whatever you want to call it, but not the shadow.

all concept images of the shadow so far have been white, with a loop on the bottom (presumably for a wrist strap, most likely an external antennae), where as concepts for the ultra have looked like the phone in this manual.

granted, I'd take even my own words with a grain of salt. even reliable tipsters have been wrong before, but to me, this isnt a shadow, it's the ultra. unless, as rumors have it, the shadow is the new "nexus 2" where the ultra will take on the N2's old moniker.

Android developers,

There is an app for windows mobile that allows users to add any custom city that has a code on www.accuweather.com see link below: -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=546141

I’m assuming that the database used for android is the same SQL Database, any chance a similar app can be developed for Android?

I’m sure it can be done manually using a SQL database editor, but for that the android device would have to be rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] o4kareg:
better try Weather Widgets

There used yr.no database (huge one), as I tested this app, there were no mistakes in forecasts.

Accuweather Cities

I too would love that someone develop this. My city is not listed in the stock HTC weather widget. However it does exist in the accuweather database. When I was using my Jade (WM) I could add my city using several apps. I've been searching all around in the android forum but so far to no avail. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] euqilobaid:
Quiet a grave-dig, but searching the forum i didn't find another thread that would answer this question. Did anyone find a solution for HTC weather - how to add city to the database?

Please help, i am very interested for this solution, and just can't believe that Windows users have such functionality and Android doesn't.
[Android Apps and Games] Ed Zachary:
An answer and a question:

Answer - The DB is in SQLite format and is stored (on my DINC, at least) in the data\data\htc.provider.weather\files folder as WP_0409WWE.db.

Get a SQLite editor (I got the free SQLiteExpert Personal edition) and edit the locationlist table. You can look at other entries to get the gist of the data entries you need. Just be careful that you get the timezone info and the Accuweather codes (in the "code" colum) correct.

Caveat - You will need a rooted phone and Root Explorer in order to copy the db to your PC and put it back on the phone.

Now for the question - Has anybody else had the clock/weather widget on the home screen get "lost"? The "current" location is usually right on the money. Just noticed a little bit ago that it is now showing Simpson Bay. By the temp and weather, obviously Simpson Bay, St Maarten (don't I wish!)

Everything else, Google, Google Maps, etc, shows my correct location (Charlotte, NC). But the weather widget insists that I am on St Maarten. Wishful thinking I guess...

Same here HTC Desire, a smaller town about 15 miles away, it's really random when it 'lies' but it is quite annoying, also it may be a conspiracy but it seems to mostly do it when I'm trying to show off the awesomeness of the phone to BB and iPhone friends.:o
[XPERIA X2 General] Biges:
Hi!

Can anyone tell me if X2 finally supports USB Mass storage mode with MR2? If not, I'm really going to be upset.

Thanks
[XPERIA X2 General] rsx19:
didnt it always? though it was REALLY SLOW
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
not in the same way that the X1 had. ive not noticed any new mass storage feature. still looks like you have to connect to activesync first.
[XPERIA X2 General] Biges:
Thanks. That su*ks a big way. Actually I think this doesn't conform to the definition of "USB Mass Storage".
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
no it doesnt. but its the only way to access the memory card. to be honest its not too bad. i plug in my X2. then i go into "my computer" and its listed in there and i can browse to the memory card same as the X1. the downside is when you transfer stuff to your pc its slower because it uses activesync. no idea why they couldnt let us access the card directly. probably a way to force us to use their software.
[XPERIA X2 General] ultrashot:
Have you tried to use WM5Storage v1.9 (or some other versions)? I heard that it works on X2
[XPERIA X2 General] Low_Down:
I used what on MR1, and it works good. But i have not have time to test on MR2 . Maby to night :rolleyes:

[Desire General] masi0:
Hi - I am new in Android as Desire is my first such OS in use, however it is far more interesting as WM and not as boring as iPhone OS;)

Anyway - I know that there are some ways to get rooted ROM from xda or modaco, but is there a way to root my own?

aren't there two steps to root the phone? 1st to apply modified bootloader to allow recovery via pc (using gold card) and 2nd to apply rooted rom via SD card?

going further - what if I will apply stock rom, meaning i will unroot my device, then apply new bootloader performing the 1st part of the rooting process, then - somehow (this is the question how) - will apply stock rom in zip file and finally apply super user on top of it?

this are just my thoughts, i am not a developer and maybe i am wrong ?

Cheers

Vikuiti™ DQC-160

Hi, i tried the Vikuiti™ DQC-160 and was not very impressed. Easy to fix, very stable and also clear, but no normal use of the hd mini with the protector on the display. I tested it some days and send it back to seller.

So don´t buy the Vikuiti™ DQC-160 !!!

[HD Mini Accessories] panzercool:
Mini Users in India could check scratchgard.in website. (Unable to post html links here :mad: )

i recently purchased one from them and its pretty good. You could also try ebay.in and you will find a couple of sellers selling screen protectors for HD mini.

look on ebay!!! i bought a few for a couple of quid and they work great
[Desire General] patp:
As title. Searched but can't find a sensible solution for this. Pattern lock gives a bit of security against casual intrusion, but it's a pain having to undo the HTC lock first. Any way of disabling the HTC lock?
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
doesn't 'No Lock' from the market do this?
[Desire General] O and O:
How about stopping the green line from showing up? Too many people are figuring out my code :(.
[Desire General] The Professor:
Settings -> security -> uncheck "use visible pattern".
[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:
No Lock disables both locks, alas.
[Desire General] MadMic:
+1 for this - hate the drag down to unlock then the lock screen :( :rolleyes:
[Desire General] O and O:
THAT IS SO HOT!!!! Thank you!
[Desire General] patp:
Tilt the screen in daylight - smudgy fingerprints give you away!

Still no answer to my original question.
[Desire General] Shawuk:
Yea I thought this too. So I got rid of pattern lock and just use slide until I can get rid of slide.
[Desire General] Giland:
You could try out "Lockpicker" it can disable the HTC Password Screen and let you keep the pattern lock.

I'm guessing that you have the HTC Password screen due to Exchange Security Policy ?
[Desire General] Pelly1982:
No I think they mean just unlocking the phone normally. Nothing to do with Exchange.

I am also keen to figure this one out. Also 'No Lock' lets you wake the screen and unlock by presssing any physical button on the phone. I would like to be able to press any button to wake the screen and then use pattern unlock. Simple really, but seems so hard to get working?!?
[Desire General] Mark One:
Is there any way of getting the password lock to apply after a set time rather than every time I want to wake the phone? I don't want to have to unlock if I've put it down for a few minutes but would appreciate some password security if has been unused for a user definable period of time.
[Desire General] sbdags:
Use Locale. I set mine to only have the lock screen when not at home. ;)
[Desire General] omniwolf:
i believe the reason that the "HTC Lock" is enforced is because you could easily lock yourself out of the phone if your phone turns on in your pocket.

imagine: you have no HTC lock, and your phone turns on in your pocket. walking around, the screen gets pressed either because you have your hand in your pocket, or other reasons, and the phone then registers 20 incorrect attempts at unlocking the phone. BOOM! you're locked out. the htc lock thing largely prevents this from happening.

i know it's annoying, but there is a reason it's there i think. and remember, if it wasn't the HTC lock, it'd be the android lock. it's not just htc that's doing this.
[Desire General] masi0:
I have the Exchange setup and I was forced to setup a password to unlock the phone (plus Lockpick to remove it) - unfortunately I cannot change password or unlock to a pattern - simply I can't see it in the security menu...
[Desire General] KYOrange:
I have figure out the solution.

After setting up you lock pattern. Go to Security -> Lock phone after and set it to

Immediately

This will actually lock your phone which require unlock pattern to unlock it.

Im not usually one for starting a new thread to ask a question but i think other people may be interested also.

I have purchased the extended battery and have found that the phone no longer fits into the pouch, well it does but i had to use my teeth to get it back out!!!!

Anyway has anyone got one that it fits in or have seen one available? Im in the UK. Please advise myself and others. Thanks.

Check out this case:

If you can get it in the UK/Europe it might work. Check out cases advertised for the EVO 4G. It is a thicker version of the HD2 that comes with a bigger battery as original equipment.

[Desire Accessories] lambrospower:
Hey guys i found today these batteries and watched the review of them by droiddog

http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/05/nexus-one-extended-battery-reviewgiveaway/

and i am very interested in buying one of these. i am currently getting 1-2 days of medium use and i day of full use with my desire and i am excited with more life. Actually the 1600mha seems nice addition without any bulk added (if it adds 5-10 hours) but the 3200mha is VERY usefull for trips or journeys without charger.

Did any of you tried these batteries ???? i heard that seido are not good but since droiddog recommended them i am into this A LOT.

Here are links to their pages:

Mugen Power 3200mah

Mugen Power 1600mah
[Desire Accessories] Pyr0x64:
i doubt anyone has tried the 3200mah in the desire as the battery cover will not fit
[Desire Accessories] foxmeister:
I had a Mugen extended battery for my Hero. IIRC it was 200mAh higher capacity than the original battery, so I expected around 10% to 15% better life from it. In practice though, it actually seemed marginally worse than the original HTC battery and certainly no better.

I've since found this site, and it very much mirrors my experience with Mugen batteries.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Accessories] Phil750123:
Hmm, is there no other batteries to use to extend?
[Desire Accessories] lambrospower:
if you saw the video they provide a cover that fits with the battery. and i thought that since the reviewer actually tells it DOES make difference i found it an opportunity.,
[Desire Accessories] Pyr0x64:
my bad, i looked at the droiddog link and and not the mugen ones...

i saw "nexus one" and assumed you had linked to the same battery, sorry
[Desire Accessories] Phil750123:
Does seem like a good idea to me, review was nice, and i agree with the guy, having that back on would make it feel better in your hand.

But theyl never do a case like the back for the desire will they?

As the n1 bottom bit on the back isnt removable so it makes it easier, where is desire they would have to do a whole new back plate.
[Desire Accessories] EroThraX:
Uhh the battery Mugen are selling comes with a new back plate for the Desire.

[Desire Accessories] geekdude:
These batteries are not scam. I don't know where you get this guys?

I use the one for Desire, they've been reviewed in many places already and this guy from batteryboss is ridiculous in his testing cuz he got those batteries from ebay and thinks it's really Mugen Power. Mugen comes from Hongkong and has only one good reseller. Many batteries like other accessories are scam, so you just need to know where to order them.
[Desire Accessories] danielvago:
I don't know about the 1600 one, but I've owned the Mugen 3200 for over a month now, and it has literally doubled my battery life.

You quickly get used to the extra bulge and weight, and it becomes a non-issue.

I ordered this one:

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/catalog/product/view/id/605/
[Desire Accessories] tekhop:
using mugen 3200 since 2 months, almost doubled battery life...

usually unplug phone around 8, i arrive at midnight with around 60% using facebook, bluetooth, music, market, gps, some calls and sms, google reader and browser... data connection always on, wi-fi sometimes...

the only regret is not having a rubber protection case, just the plastic one they give you with battery and backcover...
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
Just buy a rubber case and cut it to fit the bigger back.

Btw the mugen is good but the back cover is abit fragile. Open and close it too much and the tabs WILL break. Mines currently stuck on with a bit of blutak
[Droid Incredible General] jGroves:
Is anybody else's phone getting really hot? If I have my shell case on the back them I dont notice it, but if I'm using the phone without the case then I cM tell its getting really hot on both sides.

Is this a standard issue? I had heard of the N1 getting hot.

I had the same issue when using Live wallpapers. I disabled almost every feature of the phone to maximize battery life including live wallpaper. the phone runs fine now its cold to the touch.
[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
Sometimes the phone will get hot when using GPS or when you are downloading something for awhile or using an App thats a little more intense then normal. If yours is getting hot and staying hot with normal phone use when its just idling, I would take it back.
[Droid Incredible General] Grikshanks:
The most likely cause of this would be if you regularly are in low signal areas, the radio needs more power to boost signal to reach the tower, thus uses battery more quickly, and also generates much more heat than it would in high signal areas. Since the phone cant be overclocked yet, that is really the only reason I can think of that you would have a drastically higher temperature than normal. Coming from an OCd wifi tether droid, I havent found an occasion where the incredible feels anything other than pleasantly cool to the touch, but I guess other peoples experiences may vary. If its the amount of heat you might get from holding it in your hands for a while, I wouldnt worry about it too much. If its hot enough for long periods of time that youre really concerned about, might have a bad radio on your phone, good luck getting an exchange atm >.>
[Droid Incredible General] jGroves:
Thanks for all the input.

Im not in an area with low signal. I'm in Little Rock, AR - our arena across the river downtown named "Verizon Arena" for crying loud. Lol. ... It gets hot when I talk on it though, and its not just body heat from my hand. Both the back & front heat up, and sometimes when its charging it gets hot. It doesn't take long, and as a matter of fact its getting warmer as I type this from my phone.

It may be something up with the radio, as was suggested. Yesterday I was trying to call out & when the person on the other line answered they couldn't hear me but could hear them. I called a couple of different people a couple of different times just to test it out & it was messed up every time. I powered the phone off, cut it back on, and it works fine now. Could these be related issues or what? When that was happening I also heard this very high pitched noise coming out of where my ear goes. It has gone away as well, but I'm trying to provide as much detail as possible in case others can help or suggest issues. I really don't want to have to take the phone back - especially since they're fresh out of stock.
[Droid Incredible General] Mik0r:
Interesting you mentioned the high pitched noise while on phone calls...

I had the exact same problem, whenever I tried to make or recieve calls was getting a high pitched noise from the speaker, i could hear the other party, but they could not hear me. turning phone off and back on fixed the issue. Ive also noticed the #1 app in my battery usage is Cell Standby at 43%. So my radio is using almost half my battery. I live and work around Washington D.C. area so coverage and signal loss should not be an issue. But "Time without a signal is 26%" I'm thinking theres an issue with the radio on the Incredible also... wish there were more confirmed reports.
[Droid Incredible General] TheHarbinger:
NewB question here, but I've seen several mentions of how much battery power an app is taking up. How do you find that out...?
[Droid Incredible General] Mik0r:
Im using a widget called battery left, I click that to bring up the usage since last unplugged. The longer way is under settings -> about -> battery -> battery use.
[Droid Incredible General] jGroves:
I just downloaded & installed the LauncherPro app. I'm running it now & this is the point where my phone is getting really hot. I don't know if the launchers the reason why or not. A) Could running another launcher like LauncherPro be the reason? B) Should I uninstall & just use Sense UI?

[Droid Incredible General] Grikshanks:
Could be, try finding out if your cpu is running near max a lot, seePU is a good app to get cpu load at a glance. If its constantly near max load with the launcher running its likely the cause.
[Droid Incredible General] Wynnded:
I don't know how to find CPU temp., but to find battery temp., go to Phone and type in *#*#4636#*#*

Go to Battery information and it's listed in *C.

Maybe that will help....somehow.
