[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnequickiii:
I was wondering something, and couldn't find it through search.

If I run into performance issues with certain apps, can I move just those apps back to the system, or would I have to move all of the apps from the SD back to the system?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
The way a symlink works (apps2sd) you would have to move the whole application folder back.

If you are having performance issues, invest in a class 6 card. Which is supposedly faster than the internal storage.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnequickiii:
ok Thanks for the info. ^^
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tejasrichard:
Actually, that depends on what ROM you are running. With DarchDroid 2.6.2, I know for certain (cause I did it this morning) that you can choose where you want an app installed. You go into manage applications, click on the app you want to move, and scroll down a bit. You will come to a box that has info about how much memeory the app is taking up and were it is stored. There is also a button that says "move". Clicking takes the app from were it is (either internal storage, or sd storage) and moves it to the other. I don't know if any other roms have this option.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centran:
Is it possible to put an app into the main system app folder? Those apps aren't moved to the SD card.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Not sure if this answers your question exactly, but you can install apps into your /system/app folder by using adb.

Open a Windows command prompt, navigate to your android-sdk-windows/tools folder, then use the 'adb push' command:

adb push Filename.apk /system/app
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Keep in mind when you do this, you will have to also uninstall it the same way.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfinitefx45:
/system/app/ is internal storage

/data/app/ is external storage

you can do a ls in the directory to see where it actually is

the move command would be

mv /system/app/<name of apk> /system/sd/app/<name of apk>

or

mv /system/app/<name of apk> /data/app/<name of apk>

as the symlinks should put it to /system/sd/app
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbuchholz:
If I do that second move command, does that put it on my hard drive in the android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder? Or, does it put it on the sd card? Sorry, I'm a newb.

I want to copy my htclockscreen.apk file to the android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder on my C:\ drive so I can open it up and make changes to the png files that create the slide bar on the lock screen... see my post on creating a custom lock screen under Q & A. Newb restrictions won't let me post the link yet.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
the command you want is

adb pull /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk

that will copy it out of /system/app and put it in your tools folder.

linux is case-sensitive and i don't know the exact capitalization.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbuchholz:
Awesome! Thank you for that.

Perhaps you could take a look at my other post and tell me how to replace the .pdf images with new ones and then load it back onto the phone?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
haha...no sorry i don't know anything about signing apps. but i can pull and push stuff to and from my phone like nobody's business
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbuchholz:
lol - thanks anyway. Perhaps someone will see and be able to help me out. You at least got me started!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] macuser101:
I have a t-mobile branded mytouch 3g, with the 3.5mm jack on top, so i assume that means it is the v1.2, and therefore a 32A. I have mesed around with different radios and spls and roms, and seem to have the same audio problem with most of them. Music app and keyboard sounds only play out the headphone jack. (this is on 32A, 3.22 roms, i haven't tried a 32B yet.)

fastboot currently reads:

SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-3.22.23.18

Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03

When stock it knew it was a 32A, and didn't say unknown. I'm not sure if that changed when I upgraded to a non perfected engineerings spl, or when i flashed the 3.22 radio. I really would like to know where I stand and what my device actually classifies as so I can flash the right things. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] zelda26:
If you have a T-Mobile MT3G with the 3.5mm jack, you should have 1.2 software and 1.6 fw (Donut) OS.

There is a file you can use to get it back to stock before you messed around with everything. First off, are you sure that you have 32B?

Edit: Here is the link to help you un-root your device. http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/ or try this one http://www.4shared.com/file/-wzTZgdP/RUU_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_21053.html
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] macuser101:
Thanks, I will try unrooting and starting over. And, no, I'm pretty sure i have 32A, because it has 288mb RAM. So, what I have, can not have radio 3.22? Or did i just flash the wrong radio? I guess I will explore this once i get back to unrooted stock.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] zelda26:
if you go back to the stock ROM, it will put on the radio you should have. Mine is 2.232 or something. I would like to put a newer updated spl, I may do that soon.

Keep in mind however, you use these two methods, you will not be rooted any longer, and you will need to re-root your phone.

If you don't want to do that, you can try this: http://theunlockr.com/downloads/and...oms/t-mobile-mytouch-1-2-fender-mytouch-roms/
[HD2 General] Blairware:
I get inspired every once in a while to convert some full length movies, and put them on whatever phone I have at the time. I have had mixed success (mixed failures?) and would like to see what people are doing that

actually works!

I grabbed a couple of Blockbuster on Demand Movies (The two free ones that are offerred to HD2 Owners, plus a couple I paid for. They were formatted horribly, sounds was just acceptable, and like others, I was hoping for the kind of product that the Transformer conversions were. No such luck. Blockbuster, being A MOVIE RETAILER, does not deem information such as "Screen Format" or "Sound Encoding" to be important enough to share with us. The 4 films I have viewed were "Widescreen Format" but, since 800x640 is not 16:9, you end up with two

very noticable

black bands top & bottom of the screen.

Try showing off your HD2, only to have some wiseass 8 year old comment "How come it doesn't fill the screen?"

t seems like the wiseass 8 year old has a better sense of what's right than the wizards at Blockbuster (Using "Roxio Cinema Now" technology)

Okay, so much for delivering content to the "Hardest working Screen in the Business" Who then has a tried and true method for converting Ripped DVDs into our beautiful media device? I don't have the patience to try this and that ripper, this and that converter, get the demos, look at 5 minutes of video, or have a huge watermark all while NOT getting a nice conversion to begin with. What I dream of is a 2-3 step process, not a 8-10 step process, that I have to lord over the whole time. I would GLADLY pay for a properly done ripper/converter so I could simply

watch a movie on this device that was made to do just that.

DVD Fab platinum

this is the program that i use to put movies in my gadgets... I've put 10s movies in my htc hd2. try it, it has a very simple GUI, and the results is very nice too..

and just a little more detail, you can set up the resolutions output too so it will match the HD2 screen.

for the hd2, i converted my dvd to generic mp4.
[HD2 General] N1M1TZ:
Same here, using DVD Fab... It is FABulous to use.
[HD2 General] ericm115:
i just use handbreak. it works really well. im currently using a profile i made that is bassicaly the iphone/ipodtouch preset with the resolution set to 800x48 for hi def and whatever the size is on lower def videos. i also have custom anamorphic which is set at

xxx = width if source file or 800 whichever is greater

800

800

i also have keep aspect ratio off.

on a test of the start trek blu ray i was able to full my screen with the people looking normal and not cutting anything off anything.

i have it on average bit rate of 640 with 2 pas and turbo 1st pass. with audio at 128. the movies look really good to me. Just for comparison the transformers movies weren't all that great looking on my pc at all. they look grainy and for that they are not really utilizing all the bandwidth they are consuming.

with these setting i am very happy of the video quality on my HD2 and the audio is also very good. I also didnt like the blockbuster offering. at these settings it is about 350mb per hour and thats including audio.

To make it with my same exact setting all you need to do is select the iPhone/iPod touch presert, make the resolution say 800x480 or whatever the max is allowed, just dont pass 800 x 480. the anamorphic is set to custom with

800

800

800.

look at the screen shot.

Good luck
[HD2 General] Camusa:
Well as noted above, I had been using Handbrake, but my ripping mates have come up with a program that already had the HTC HD2 in mind.

A freeware coverter with an actual preset specific for the HTC HD2 and it works just fine my friends.

The proggy is called: Xmedia Recode 2.2.3.2

Choose HTC model.

Choose the HD2

Choose your video prefs.

[Desire Themes and Apps] mongo56:
I also prefer it over launcher pro.

The only thing bugging me is that desktop scrolling seems quite a bit more sluggish than on the launcher pro.

Not the scrolling speed itself, that's configurable.

It's just not as smooth as I was used to, especially when using a bigger widget. Launcher pro seemed happy with just about everything I threw at it.

Anybody else noticed this?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Tiger33:
ummwhat are you current settings
[Desire Themes and Apps] mongo56:
Desktop scrolling speed: 364, Overshot: 30

I have the exact same widgets and icons on both launcher pro and ADW and if I hold and drag the screens slowly the ADW is clearly choppy while the launcher pro is smooth as silk.

I searched the Leo forum and couldn't find any answers :(

I'm having a not so cool problem with my contacts and people folders..

Everybody has a double entry :confused: I had the same problem before and after installing a new ROM, so the installation might not be the problem afterall. I sync my Leo with Windows Mobile Device Center and with Microsoft My Phone. What can I do ? How can I return to just one entry for everybody ?

10x all in advance :)

PS : I think I'm doing something, cause with my Fujitsu Siemens N520 - Windows Mobile 5 ( I dont know for sure ) I clearly remember having once the same problem :(
[HD2 General] lquigley:
What view?

Are you viewing both sim & contacts? Need to set to view 1 or the other, not both. I view contact, it shows more info..
[HD2 General] spritable:
I had the same problem after installing new rom and syncing with my pc.

There are manual ways of fixing this, but I think the easiest way is to use Microsoft My Phone. It has an option to check for duplicate contacts and delete them.

But be careful not to be left with empty contact list on your phone. Like I did once... Hopefully I had synced my contacts on my office computer.
[HD2 General] jujoo:
Try this...Go to - Phone/All People/Menu/View/ select Contacts or SIM
[HD2 General] M3PH:
I use direct push from my exchange server and i had this when sycing to my pc using activesync for the first time. The problem is caused by the phone telling the pc that the contacts are more upto date that the pc's. To get around this change the activesync options to "pc overwirtes the device" (it's not exactly written like that but i guess your smart enough to figure it out) and delete all the duplicate contacts from the phone and pc. You won't get it again. If you are seeing the contacts from your sim card should notice the icon for them is differnet. If this is the case then follow the instructions given above to disable sim contact viewing.
[HD2 General] troed:
There is free software to cope with this prob on freewarepocketpc and also in SKTools or PocketMechanic.

Del doubles on phone (check bef proceed), clear contacts complelety on PC and Myphone and then resync. Worked well for me.

Holy crap, I knew Tmobile was starting to roll out HSPA+ in this area, Long Island, New York, but I didn't actually think it would be already available

This is what I got today sharing the phone's data through the Wi-Fi Router application to my laptop!
[HD2 General] heygrl:
And your phone isn't even HSPA+ compatible, just 7.2. ;)

I get about the same here. The HSPA+ stuff is supposed to be a bit faster.
[HD2 General] Camusa:
Will our phone be HPSA compatible?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
They are "HSPA 7.2" compatible (which has already been available for a few months). They are not HSPA+ compatible (which is what's just now being rolled out in NY and other markets gradually).

However, as many users in NY are seeing, the HSPA+ turnup adds backend capability that ends up helping out the current HSPA 7.2 users reach the full potential of their connections too.

[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
You won't see the "H" icon if you just have the stock icons on your taskbar up top...you'll need to install a custom set of taskbar icons before it will appear for you.
[HD2 General] danxtian:
and how do we know if we're getting the HSPA if we're just using the stock rom? is there other way besides installing the custom taskbar?

[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
word. yes that's a good question...

I'm gonna see if the euro HD2 displays the stock "H" icon...if so then it should be easy to track down where it gets called up and recreate that in the US model.
[HD2 General] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Most people DON'T see anything CLOSE to 5.79Mb/s down.

The "H" icon in custom ROMs comes up erroneously. (Search, that's in plenty of old discussions in the ROM forum. I see the H daily although it's not here in Chattanooga, TN.) You can't count on the "H" in custom ROMs and you wont' see an "H" in the stock ROM. Speed testing is the only method of really knowing.

The only reliable test is tethering to a laptop or using it as a WiFi router to a laptop and doing a speed test from the laptop. Then you'll know how much your HD2 is pulling in your area, but trying to test on the HD2 its self won't give reliable numbers.

We can only get 7.2 from what I've read, but people in areas with HSPA+ are getting way closer to that 7.2 than people in any other areas. I'm seeing about 1.6Mb/s down. I'm excited about HSPA+ rollout, it gets us in good competition with Sprint 4G speeds. And reports are that the EVO is only showing the low end of those Sprint 4G speeds. So with HSPA+ we may very well be doing better than the EVO on Sprint 4G!
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Thanks for the info Darnell, I didn't know the custom icon sets were displaying it incorrectly. What's funny is that some sets even show me a "3G+" icon on rare occasion.

I have to agree that a hard-wired test using a laptop is the best way to show how much you can shove down your phone's pipe. I find though that testing from the phone may give a more accurate indication of what your real-world effective speed will be in on-board apps.

I do feel confident too that once more of us are enjoying what these network upgrades can provide on our HD2's, we'll actually enjoy getting asked "Hey, is that an EVO??"

"No. This is faster" :D
[HD2 General] criticalchild:
just for the record 7.2 is not all we can get.

as sir has been advising me on the other thread similar to this one.

i have gotten 8.5mbps using hd2 in nyc,ny so either the hd2 is capable of hspa+ or theres isnt cap or block at 7.2

i must say great news ither way. im coming from sprint w touch pro, to a hd2 and do not regret leaving even with Evo coming one bit. T mobile has suprised me with there upgrade over previous years.

Actually the phones displaying H on a custom rom is 100% right, the network is all HSPA regardless of speed right now.

9000Kbps is impossible with a device only capable of maybe 7400Kbps, max. You need to use a different method because mobilespeedtest.com is not accurate. Use speedtest.net

Can't wait for further improvements.
[HD2 General] heygrl:
Maybe the HD2 has 10Mbps HSPA? That would explain the speed. The specs say otherwise but..

300Kb/s is good.. real good. Especailly when you consider that this network is being utilized by everyone with a 3G phone/smartphone. Sprint "4G" shows off really fast speed but when people actually start to get on the network it's far less impressive.. 3Mbps before the HTC Evo puts it's HD streaming load on the network.

Outskirts West County it can be found and I was getting about 2400 at best yesterday but the average is about 1800 to 2100 and thats through an iPhone test program. Have to test it attached to my laptop with a proper speed test because the non java/non flash iphone test will only give about 7700 when I connected wifi (1 foot from the router) and the connection has been tested at 18-20K.

Be a T-Mobile customer?! That's really the only way besides waiting for T-Mobile to let you know what they're doing. The coverage map might also show "dark" purple HSPA+ network speed before T-Mobile announces it. 3G coverage improvements are coming later this year after some of these upgrades.
