[Desire General] Wheezy_be:
After some negotiating with my girlfriend I decided I’d buy an Android phone, an HTC Desire from PDAShop.be, where I’ve bought my previous HTC Touch 3G.

As always, the delivery of the phone was quick and soon I unpacked the phone and started playing around with it. I improrted contacts from SIM to phone and linked them to Facebook and Twitter contacts. Piece of pie. I also installed some apps and games from the Android Market (no paid apps here in Belgium, yet) and fiddled around with them, as I also did with various settings in the HTC Sense UI.

After a few hours playing with the phone, I went outside with the phone in my back pocket of my jeans, and I heard the HTC startup again. I thought that somehow I managed to press the power button by accident. Nope, the phone restarted several times on different occasions.

When I went to sleep, the phone was on and the battery was almost charged to 60%. The next morning, 8 hours later, the device was turned off and when I charged it via USB on the PC, the battery was fully drained… 0%!

I then called HTC support, and the kind person on the other end of the line listened to my story and told me I needed a hard-reset of the device. From the mail he sent me:

I tried that, but the phone just wouldn’t complete the hard-reset. So I called PDAShop and they told me that I could bring the phone in. I removed my SIM from Mobile Vikings and put it in my other phone and drove to them.

To my amazement the guy at the shop managed to hard-reset (without a SIM) the device, and stress-tested it with some rapid movements, changing styles in the UI, setting up a Live-wallpaper. The device didn’t freeze… So I drove back to home.

I put my SIM back in, and voila… the device started to hang on me again. I even tried the hard-reset with the SIM with no luck whatsoever. I contacted PDAShop again and the same person helped me further. He said I can send the phone back to them and they will replace it with a new one…

I really hope this isn’t becoming some part of long tragedy waiting to happen. I really want to enjoy this Android phone, as I am fed up with the current status of Windows Mobile on my brilliant HTC Touch 3G.
[Desire General] Cooki3s:
Hey

Sorry to heard your story, you must be very unlucky :/ . If it's of any comfort, my desire has a mobile vikings sim in it aswell and functions excellent, so it's probably a faulty model.
[Desire General] sruon:
Sorry for you, it's probably a faulty device or a faulty ROM, either way, my phone and the ones of multiple other person works fine so keep hope!
[Desire General] JonasDroid:
I would advise you to recontact Coolbleu (aka pdashop) and tell them that you went there they did reset it and tested it but that it didn't fix the problem. I would be surprised if they wouldn't offer to give u a new one. (I bought several phones at coolbleu and I've always been happy with after sale support) BTW I'm also using Mobile Vikings (but on HTC Legend) and I don't have any problems with it at all.
[Desire General] Wheezy_be:
@JonasDroid & @Cooki3s:

Good to know that, because the person at coolblue received some disturbing calls from people with MobileVikings SIM cards. How old are your SIM cards?

@All Thanks for the support, I really hope my next Desire will be somthing that I can actually enjoy :)

Will keep you posted.

Cheers!
[Desire General] Wheezy_be:
I tried a hard reset again, but without a SIM and SD card inserted. This seemed to work.

I then did go through all the settings in the wizard and rebooted. Then I shut it down, inserted to SD again and I went into Settings > SD and Storage, unmounted the card, formatted it, and rebooted the phone. I stress-tested it for a while, and then I shut it down, inserted my SIM and it still works.

Could it be that some corrupt data on the card caused the instant reboots and faulty hard-resets?

I'm going to charge my phone and test it throughout the day to see if it still hangs/reboots on its own. Fingers crossed!

EDIT:

I spoke too soon... a few minutes later and the device was shut down when I tried to bring the screen back up. Now it reboots until it hangs itself... I don't hear the startup-sound either when it come to "Quitely Brilliant" :(

The phone will be sent back to pdashop!

Edit2:

I narrowed the problem down to a device-specific issue... It shuts down/freezes/reboots randomly even when no SIM and no SD card are in the device... I really hope the next device I'll receive doesn't have these issues :(
[Desire General] langers1:
Have you got any apps installed on it? If so what? I had issues with some apps that changed the APN when the internet wasnt being used.
[Desire General] dexteral:
its a faulty device
[Desire General] Wheezy_be:
No external apps installed since first hard reset :eek:

That's what I thought also :(
[Desire General] Cooki3s:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] www1:
I don't like Froyo sound for lock and unlock phone so I can take it from my iPhone, convert and insert in my N1.

It's work very well.

To install run this from the directory you unzip the file to:

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/media/audio/ui/Lock.ogg
adb shell rm /system/media/audio/ui/Unlock.ogg
adb push lock.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/Lock.ogg
adb push unlock.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/Unlock.ogg
adb shell reboot
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BBCasper:
Thanks! Definitely sounds a lot better.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] prophetjinn:
I got used to my wife's ipod touch sounds so this is actually kinda nice lol. Much louder than vanilla. Thanks for your work. =)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Vandam500:
Say if I want to go back to stock after installing this, will it be possible without the need to Nandroid?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chobie:
Any one knows how to enable the unlock sound in eclair?

I love the sound from lockbot pro. But I ended up using the stock lock/unlock.

No sound from stock though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sergioalvarezmac:
Thank you for the archive. It sounds much better now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] prophetjinn:
I think its only for froyo :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wesbalmer:
You wouldn't need to nandroid so long as you pull the original files first rather than rm'ng them
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] scotolsen:
so i just did this (successfully) except that i now notice that my phone won't make sounds for certain things. it'll do notifications (calls, texts, IM) but won't do the lock/unlock, dock/undock or keyboard presses. anyone can help me out?

i have all the volumes turned up and checkboxes ticked but still nothing. running froyo.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wesbalmer:
Can you fully explain how you are creating this event. I haven't noticed it and would like to try and recreate
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] scotolsen:
i highly doubt this caused it, just that this was the catalyst for me noticing it (i don't remember the keyboard having made sounds for awhile now). just wondering if you guys know what might cause it not to make non-notification sounds and how i can restore them, even if it means having to wipe and reflash.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] www1:
Sure.

You have to extract original froyo lock e unlock .ogg file and repush in your device.

No wipe needeed.

If I have time (now I am from N1) take it from original froyo rom and attrach to my post.

:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sistum Id:
In case you didn't pull

I went ahead and pulled them
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
Thank you! :) this sounds just amazing on my nexus!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] johnnie93:
Can i flash this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BBCasper:
Where can I find different sounds in .ogg to use for Lock/Unlock? I just pushed the MGS2 sounds and they're cool for now, but after locking and unlocking for a day...I'm sure I'll be tired of that.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] www1:
I think you have to make it.

It's easy.

After do that you can push in your devices.

:)

I don't understand
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sindroid:
No you can't. Just adb push them.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BBCasper:
Yep. Figured it out. Just downloaded Audacity, opened the file I wanted, exported as ogg, bam. Super easy.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RevJesseJ:
Thanks for the instructions www1. Very helpful. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Vandam500:
Thank you! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] eboy44:
is there anyway i can just apply this as a .zip? i keep trying to push them but it doesnt seem to work for me, the files get transferred but i still have the stock sounds on my nexus
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
You must have typed the wrong code the first time around, make sure the case remains same. I just unzipped the files on my adb/tools folder and then copy-pasted the instruction instead of retyping it. It works very well for me on froyo.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] emeraldnumber1:
i get this error

rm: Can't remove '/system/media/audio/ui/Lock.ogg : Directory not empty

and the same error with unlock.ogg

I can't push them on either :l
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Airosa:
I had the same problem only to find out a hardware problem with the power button. Got it fixed and it's back to normal.

Go figure
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mloc33:
I got the lock sound working, but I cant get the unlock sound working.

I`ve tried a different sound for unlock and still nothing, any ideas?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gawwee:
Hi,

I recently (yesterday) updated to the new official ROM (WWE:2.53.405.5) from the HTC website. Today I have found a serious drain on my battery. From full over night charge it dropped to 42% after about 1.5 hours of no use, an hour or so later and the battery was flat.

There doesn't seem to be any tasks running in the background, but even if there were a battery life of around 3 hours isnt right.

Has anyone else found this with the new update? Any ideas?

Thanks

Gary
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArtieQ:
Mine drains like never before also, did you hard reset your device after the flash? I did at least.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gawwee:
Yeah, tried a hard reset. I don't understand what could be causing it. Are you getting the same ridiculous short battery life that I am?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArtieQ:
Not really, but sometimes if I charge my battery to 100% then put the charger out it can go down to 10% within an hour, that happend to me a week ago. But yes, my battery drains very fast, when listening to music, browsing or whatever, 10% in less than 20 minutes..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boulderados:
I am experiencing something simular.

In the same configuration and the stock ROM, I got a little over 2 days on a single charge with normal use. Now I am luckly to make it through the day and need to charge my phone every night.

I have improved somewhat by limiting active sync to look for e-mail every 10 minutes instead of "as mail arrives" which tells me that the drain has something to do with the 3G networking.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Assuming the ROM flashed a different radio version, flash back to a different version and see if that improves your battery life.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konio25:
I try that and this procedure dont change nothing, from some reason new stock rom drain battery so much, i turn off all radio on my one, no radio at all an battery keep going down, about 10% for 1h-1.5h :eek:, so i have to back to previous rom 6.5 stock with manila 2.1 the best one for me, average 3 days on battery :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enroc91:
There are some battery improvement tricks available and as there are a lot of requests for these, maybe it would be nice if someone could compile a list and sticky post?

(I heard something about the battery polling frequency for example)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boulderados:
I contacted HTC support and they stated that they were receiving more reports regarding battery drainage after the latest ROM update and that they are in the process of investigating what the root cause is.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdic:
Same here after flashing of newest radio rom. Now I´m back on 4.47.25.01 and battery life is much better.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] battax:
Greetings

The rom you flashed was 2.53.410.3 with the radio 4.49.25.91?

I have that same rom and radio too and my battery drain is simply bad bad bad.

Every reset takes 7 or 10% sometimes of battery too.

This rom with the radio you flashed 4.47.25.01 works better? no more battery drain? That radio version is quite old, from 6.1 rom?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgonc:
Battery drain is driving me mad

Greetings

Similar problem on my Topaz.... It has been driving me mad for two months now.

The severe battery drain started after flashing the HTC newest ROM (WWE). The battery started draing fom 100% to 0% (without even warning before switcing off) in less tha 5 hours.

So far I tried the following (by order) all with 3G disabled (GSM only) and all data connections off:

1. New battery bought from HTC -> problem persisted

2. Flashed previous ROM version (WWE 6.5) -> same problem

3. Flashed old 6.1 ROM -> same problem

4. Battery calibration and similar "voodoos" -> problem continues

5. Contacted HTC -> they proposed to do all that I previously did and upon my answer said that I would have to send the mobile to repair (under warranty)

6. Sent mobile to service -> motherboard was replaced (new IMEI) and the poblem continues (mobile returned with Portuguse ROM 6.5)

7. Flashed again the wwE ROM 6.5, calibrated battery, applied all the proposed tweaks after reading hundreds of posts in forums -> same problem

8. Maintained ROM and previus radio version 4.49.25.17 ->still continues

The mobile is always consuming 160 mA (wheb screen is on( jumping sometimes to 330 mA

I am running out of ideas. I am considering trying the ANDROID version for TOPAZ and see if at leat the battery lasts more than 5 hours (to disregard hardware fault)

I still did not try any cooked ROMs

I noticed that in spite of all the tweaks the ActiveSync is not disabled as it keeps writing in the logging file. I wonder if there are other processes running and consuming the battery

Any help (that does not touch the obvious as you can see I already tried plenty) will be appreciated
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReWind402:
Regarding Android on Topaz you will get around 6-8hours of moderate usage but we have some problems with the battery meter right now so android will not show you the exact percent of battery. We still need to optimize battery drivers and so on...

Well fast battery drain is usually a common problems among smartphone device running WinMo, Android,... The touchscreen and its backlight are consuming a lot of battery and of course the hardware in it. Regarding WinMo devices fast battery drains occurs when changing driver bases and radio roms. When you change your driver base be sure to calibrate the battery and wait for few days until drivers & battery "settles down". Anyway the other cause may be that your battery is dead. Thats all i know. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgonc:
Thanks for the information regarding XANDROID.

The phone worked fine for 7 months on WM 6.1 first and WM 6.5 later, with several ROM upgrades in the between (followed by hard resets) .

The battery used to last 1-1.5 days depending on usage and carrier coverage.

The problem developed recently... And my first step was buying a new battery (which is the one I am using now).

I am now in the process of charging, discharging a bit (20-30%) charging again, to try the "driver settling" theory (I must confess that it is hard to chew but since it cannot get worst....)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReWind402:
Yeah, carrier coverage also affects battery life + sense 2.5 is really battery hungry so maybe thats the point. My battery also lasts ~1-1.5 days.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmattp:
I flashed the ROM to my wife's phone and it was running fine up until today. Now it switches screens on its own (only to the left). I was thinking it could have been an app she downloaded but she said she hasn't downloaded any new ones in two days. It's only Sense UI that does it. She force stopped it, cleared defaults and is using Home. Now it's not happening.

Any ideas? She has it with her at work so we can't really mess with it right now but I'm wondering if anyone else is having issues.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazzpatriot:
i had that problem and it sux lol drove me nutts for the longest time ,,i asked a few people and it seems to be a bug in some of the roms ,i called htc b4 i asked anyone and they said also there is a bug with the track ball , ive since got a new one and no problems yet ,, this is only if it happens while plugged in

Its a problem with the usb port and the magnents in the trackball. It will start by scrolling to the left only when plugged in but after more time it will constantly do it even if its not plugged in. My wife and I had the same problems and they sent us 2 new phones the next day.

Visit a Verizon Tech store or call them up.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmattp:
Ok... I wasn't sure if it was hardware or software. She said it's been fine all day, but she hasn't charged it. Looks like I'll be downgrading back to stock and exchanging it if I can.

*I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. It's running Ivans 1.0. I just called Verizon though, when she's here with the phone we're going to go over some trouble shooting and hopefully they'll send over a new one.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tburns:
Yea, I took both of our phones in along with the usb cord and showed them what was going on, no questions asked they replaced our phones with the v3 leak. Now I have root and loving it also.

Good luck you shouldnt have any problems getting new ones.

I want to say that I love the animation. I want to add that you could reduce the size of it a lot, probably 50% by looping the cursor more then once and only using the "on/off" images.

then put the "second state" in a separate folder so it delays, then the actual loop that continues until the device finishes booting.

heres what I mean, I got it down to 220K. From what I can tell by running them both in Boot Animation Preview, they look the same as far as i can tell.

Great work. This is my new boot animation.

what do you guys think? is this guy full of it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpfef:
My guess is he doesn't know what he's talking about, or he misspoke. Unless there's about a gig worth of google maps data stored somewhere on the device, it absolutely needs a data connection to get the map data on the fly.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WebghostDK:
Wow this sounds great!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
you need a data connection, either through wifi or 3g (or really slow through edge) to get the map, or the route if you are using navigation. the gps does not need data to put you on the map.

if using navigation, the map data is cached, and the gps tracks you through the path. i can load the path at home, on my connection, or in decent 3g, and then my navigation is maintained through dead zones, because of the cache. my buddy lives in total wasteland, and i drove out there a few weeks ago, with no loss of navigation at all. i had no phone signal for half of the trip

Nah, stock images folder. It had worked after last hard reset, just noticed the problem the other day. Must be something I installed though it is pretty close to stock. I'm resisting doing a hard reset just for this problem, but I may give in if there are no solutions. Thanks for thought.
