[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] leejiahui:
Hi everyone!

I would like to ask if you guys know where i could get a cab file to restore my dialer and keyboard skin to the OEM stock dialer and keyboard look.

Basically I am using a custom rom with built in custom dialer and keyboard skin. However I very much prefer the original stock dialer and keyboard look.

Any help will be much appreciated.

I'm looking for the same thing.

Can anybody out there help? :)
[HD2 General] secano:
Ok, yesterday I put my battery to the test. I decided to use my phone non-stop until the battery drained. During the entire test I had running the following tasks on Task Manager:

Opera---with tap vibration enabled

Messages

Active Sync

Word Mobile

Hotmail

I had:

Push E-Mail (hotmail) "As items arrive" (receiving emails approx every 5-10 mins).

Backlight Automatically adjusted on, with both battery and external power set at 40%.

LeoCpuSpeed app running at 998 MHz.

Constant changing signal strength from 1-4 bars and H to 3G to E and back to H(Inside the lobby of a building).

Weather, Twitter, Facebook and everything else to be updated automatically, each one being set to update asap.

BsB Tweaks settings in the pics below.

Apps Installed: see pic below.

Also had some texting, about 30 messages from 9:30pm to 11:00pm with notification set to vibrate and ring. No phone calls

So, if you think your battery was bad...this is how mine did:)

Pretty much my battery did not last even 4 hours. Keep in mind I was browsing Facebook and XDA forums on Opera non-stop. Also noticed when the charge was at 8%, it started draining 1% per minute:eek:

My conclusion...I will have to get a spare battery cause a single battery can't handle my every day usage:D Have tried different Radios, but they all seem the same to me strength and signal wise. I haven't tried any other Custom ROM than KUMARS.

In case I forgot something I'll add it later on.

I also had very bad battery life, i have flashed a few different roms since ive got the phone about a week ago, and id have to say

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=667601 this rom has outstanding battery life. i would definatly give it a shot.\
[HD2 General] lavagirl:
Pal, how would you compare this rom with Kumar's in terms of Battery life?

My stock rom had slightly more battery life compared to Kumars.
[HD2 General] wazzukirk:
I had terrible battery life with the Cell Evo ROM.

I have had terrible battery life ever since I had my phone. However, I am currently using ChuckyROM with 10.50.19_2 radio and it's actually getting me through the day now.
[HD2 General] rlee008:
wow u had all that crap going on & it lasted about 4 hours and ur complaining? seriously???

how long did u expect it to last? large screen, 1 ghz processor and a constant connection online... i bet ur HD2 outlasts ur laptop :)

thats like saying, i filled up my gas tank before i left home, drove like a maniac, floored the gas pedal after every red light & stop sign but i expect my car to not run out of gas.

real world tests are more acurate... without all that on u should get a full day of "normal" usage...
[HD2 General] rysky007:
Stupid question, and this is something that we all as cell phone owner for the past decade should know.. did you train the battery? i get 24 hours out of mine, with contstant push email on 4 diff accounts, texting all day a few pix, a few sites visited
[HD2 General] secano:
Sure did, the max I can get on normal usage is around 10 hours though.
[HD2 General] Moschdog:
Battery Training

I do not believe the HD2's battery requires training. Older styles of batteries had something called a "memory effect", where a battery not fully depleted, then fully recharged, created a shortened cycle time.

Newer battery components, IE Lithium Ion, or Lithium Polymer do not have this characteristic. Accordingly, there is absolutely no need to "train" the battery.

Now the only requirement with the newer battery types, is to maintain a charge between 50-70% during long term storage (ie what your phone was charged to when first received).

[HD2 General] dumbquestion:
got my tmous hd2 launch-day... battery sucked so bad I cried (on the inside too). Returned it for another (hard as hell as I had to call corporate and have them call a store and make them hold one when some came in) after 2 weeks and all battery problems gone. 2 days easy with 1 charge. and I am a bit of a media whore: videos, podcasts, web, push, etc.
[HD2 General] aarons6:
mine sure did, the first day i got it, it went dead about 6 hours after i charged it..

2 weeks later and it was down to about 60% after a whole days use and it would die during the night if i didnt put it on the charger.

now its been about a month and now it will go a whole day and a whole night and still be in the 40%s in the morning.
[HD2 General] marduk79:
I don't see the need to have all that stuff running continously but it seems that the battery lasted as much as it should. I close out all programs propperly when done but I have the screen at the brightest and still the battery lasts me 30 hrs on average. I don't think I could kill the battery in less than 4 even if I tried real hard.
[HD2 General] Metallic-Force:
currently using the rom bellow... not getting 10 hours on my phone... my life relies on e-mail. So few calls rarely any texts. But 4 e-mail accounts with each having a send/receive every 5 mins... with downloading the full e-mail. I don't know what to do...

[HD2 General] NYCHD2:
my battery is horrible too, i cant last more than 10 hours without bareley using it. i took it off charge 7:30 a.m. took it to school, around 10 i texted a little bit used the camera to take about 10 shots (no flash), and i played bubble breaker for about 15 minutes. brightness was on 20...keep in mind after i close everything i fully close it through task manager.

around 11 my battery was at 65 percent. and i only USED the phone for about 25-30 minutes of light usage. i honestly dont understand how a battery can be this bad with a phone. the battery is HORRIBLE!!!!!

i got 3 different batterys exchanged so far, none of them work goood. i conditioned it as well... fully charged then fully drained then fully charged again

please help =( i dont even use my HD2 anymore because i HATE the battery, i strictly use my BOLD 9700 until i find a solution to the battery problem
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
NYC, the biggest issue with the HD2 battery is its low capacity (1230mAh), which is lower than most smartphones in general. Add the huge screen (a big battery draw all by itself) and the other power-hungry functions of a super-capable phone, and it can become very difficult to maintain a charge.

Now, in your case, I'd suspect that you have something that's updating data in the background, at least once if not repeatedly. Twitter, mail, weather, etc are all possible culprits. Even if they only update once in the morning (for example), they flip on your 3G connection which then remains on until you switch it off manually. Bluetooth and wifi also drain the battery quickly, even if they're just "on" and not being actively used by you.
[HD2 General] ncohafmuta:
Sit! Goooood battery. You're such a well trained battery, yes you are, yes you are! If you keep my phone running all day I'll give you a nice 1 amp charge, yes I will, yes I will!

couldn't help it.

[HD2 General] zimzoom:
I get from 7:45am to 2:00am pretty regularly out of my phone--push emails, IMs all day, about 200 messages sent/received, 120 min of calls, and probably 2 hours of browsing. I have wifi connected from 6pm-2am.
[HD2 General] secano:
That is really hard to believe...specially the wifi from 6pm to 2am
[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
My phone drops to 11% after 24 hours of doing nothing with it besides fiddling for about 10 minutes. The signal bar is 3 ~ 4 bars at all times on a 2G band. I'm not certain why it's this crappy even though I pretty much leave it on standby. Any ideas?
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
to be realistic the screen its huge and a fast processor their no way your battery can last the whole day under heavy usage especially the stock battery. I have a 1600 mAh battery I bought and it gives me maybe an extra hour or 30 min. more of usage compared to the stock one. I dont know why companies and people keep wanting to cramp all this things into a cellphone and most dont care about the battery. They should have install a solar panel some where in the phone so it can recharge while its not been used.
[Touch HD General] paulmcg92:
I have a problem that when the screen of my phone is off I do not receive many of my text messages. When I turn the screen on texts that have been sent a while ago come through. This is a problem I have found recently on various ROMs including Energy and millski rom which I am using now.

A link to the ROM I am currently using can be found here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=648831

Does anyone have any ideas of what the problem could be and how I could fix it - Thanks :mad:
[Touch HD General] krs360:
I had the exact same problem with Xannytech Grid Evo ROM. I could not for the life of me figure out what the problem was. I posted a few times and didn't get any answers. Also couldn't find anyone else with the same problem.

I am now on the latest Energy ROM, problem seems to be fixed.
[Touch HD General] willcor:

***UPDATE***

Figured it out, but still would like to know why it happened. From the Sense Mail screen I was able to got to accounts and see the Yahoo to edit it, which after filling in the boxes for the server names, it showed back up in Winmo. Both the incoming and outgoing mail servers were deleted. But the server names that I typed in didn't actually work. I used some info I found on the web for that, maybe they were wrong? So then I deleted and readded it letting it pull the settings for yahoo that it found. Now it's fine.

Also noticed after the original soft reset that it lost my wifi password, just thought of that. My exchange email has never been affected by whatever this is. What would delete the server settings for my yahoo account and delete the stored password for my wifi connection?

This is a weird issue that I haven't seen discussed on here. It's happened to me twice now. The last time it happened I ended up doing a hard reset.

I have two email accounts on my phone. My Outlook Exchange account and my Yahoo Mail account.

My Yahoo Mail disappears in Winmo on the Messaging\ Email accounts screen. Doesn't even show it listed. BUT it shows up in the preview panes in Sense Mail, but only shows old emails. I can't send receive on the account at all from that Sense Mail screen or anything. I can just flip through what was already there before whatever happened, happened.

If I try to add a new account via Email accounts screen, it tells me that account is already on the phone. So it knows the account is on my phone, just won't let me access it.

Wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I don't mind hard resetting again, but I would love to know why it is happening.
[HD2 General] Ryan Cordero:
Ive had the same issue happen to me twice so far also. Looks liek the new mail app maybe the culprit as I have had this happen on the diamond before with the new build.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
This happened to me again today and here is exactly what it happening, yet I don't understand why.

First thing I noticed today was that I had no data connection. So I checked wireless control panel and sure enough it was disabled... So I tried to enable it. No love. gave me an error and took me to the network setup screen.

Then I looked and my Yahoo account was missing again from the windows email screen, yet still showing up in sense.

Back to the data situation: I had to edit the Tmobile connection settings and click ok through all of the screens. Once I did that, my Data connection was back.

Back to yahoo: I had to edit it through sense and it had lost both incoming and outgoing mail servers and my password. Tried to manually enter Yahoo's mail servers and it still doesn't work. Once I delete it and add it back, (letting it find the server info on it's own), it will work fine again... But for how long? :)

It's driving me a little batty...
[HD2 General] angelitom15:
Same issue has happened to me. Happens when I run out of battery or let the phone drain. Also when I reset phone while an app is running. Let me know if you guys find a fix for this.
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
it happens on stock and on custom roms. havent seen a fix yet
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Happened to me again today. It's not specific to the shipping ROM because I have the new 2.13 ROM on my phone and this is the first time it has happened since I upgraded to the new ROM...

Gotta be something simple.
[HD2 General] bizmark03:
Even I've had the same problem twice..and in addition to losing the email accounts, all my apps which required login like facebook, fring, etc stopped remembering usernames and passwords. Even if I selected save password, it kept asking me everytime is started the app.

The first time it happened i did not notice why, but the second time it happed immediately after a soft reset done using BSB Tweaks after making some changes in it.

I have removed BSB Tweaks for the time being, so will wait and see if it happens again.

this happened both the times after upgrading to the 2.13 official ROM.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
I don't have BSB Tweaks installed and it has happened to me multiple times. I usually lose most of my saved passwords as well in the other programs...

Lost E-Mail in 2.13 T-Mobile ROM

After upgrading to the new T-Mobile 2.13 ROM, I've had two instances where the email server settings have been lost. Same as described by others. Old emails show in Sense, but when I hit the soft button for my Inbox, I'm taken to the email setup screen.

If I cancel out and go to the setup screen through Sense, I find that everything is present except the inbound and outbound servers. Once I restore these everything is back to normal until the next time it happens.
[HD2 General] paolodoctolero:
It also happen to me. I believe this is because of the 2.13 update by T-MO.

Htanks for the guide, i will try :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gm112:
ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/squashfs

The link for some reason wasn't working, so I decided to repost it seeing as how the http:// extension breaks it? Hm. Well, that's just linking to the directory tree incase if you're a 64-Bit Linux user like me :P.

Also, I think the instructions should be altered a bit as it doesn't seem to tell how to use squashfs tools. (I personally don't use genext2fs, but I know XDAndroid is compatible)

Here's the syntax:

mksquashfs <directory containing your Android root> <squash file destination> <other parameters>

Live example of such a usage would be:

mksquashfs ./ /home/John/desktop/system.sqsh

To extract an existing squashfs:

unsquashfs <squashfile> <extraction destination>

Note: Even squashfs-tools 4.0 seems to work just fine with extracting older versions.

There's a HOWTO document which goes more in-depth than my general overview of creating a basic system.sqsh. I only listed the key things that you would need to know.

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/SquashFS-HOWTO/mksqoverview.html

Essentially, it's almost no different than building any other Android ROM. Stinebd actually has a kitchen made for the XDAndroid package.

http://southcape.org/category/android/ <-- His blog

http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Main_Page <-- Official Wiki

There are other parameters which are optional, just type "man mksquashfs" to pull up the help man docs. Oh, and you should probably put it in bold that the version of squash-tools matters so people see that better. There's a reason for why the newer ones break compatibility with the older versions.

My Sprint Touch Diamond no longer connects with a PC via USB. It charges via USB without problem, but it doesn't connect for Activsync or file transfer.

2 questions:

1. I don't currently have the Sprint device insurance, but if I added it at $7/month, then filed the warranty issue, think it would get replaced?

2. I can still access my 4GB internal storage via Bluetooth. I have flashed my ROMs many times via USB, and was able to use the bootloader to reflash it back to the stock ROM that I had saved on my internal storage, in hopes that would fix my USB connectivity issues (it didn't). Do I dare flash my ROM again with a new one that I just copied over via Bluetooth?

Thanks in advance!

[Touch Diamond CDMA] talontsi07:
I am not with Sprint so cant answer that...

As long as you are confident that the file transfered over fine then it should be ok. Maybe try transferring the file over via WiFi, I would feel more comfortable doing that. I don't see any reason why either of these ways wouldn't work, how ever I don't like taking any risk wile flashing the last thing I need is a $200 paper weight.

Sounds to me that your problems are originating from the PC end not the Device. The reason being is that the devices charges via usb. Yes the device could still charge if the usb on the device is no good but its a lot easier to make sure there is nothing wrong on the PC side then diagnosing the usb connector on the device,
[Touch Diamond CDMA] tcooper185:
Follow-up for others who may have the same issue:

I can't get the Sprint insurance. Have to add it within 30 days (I think) of buying the device, and I bought it over a year ago on eBay.

I'm sure it's not a PC issues, as I'm not up to 8 different PCs (XP, Vista, and 7) and none of them recognize it, but they all charge it. Weird...

Just bought another one on eBay, so I may play with flashing it via a Bluetooth-transferred ROM. Then again, I'm sure someone could use the unscratched glass or other components of it on eBay...maybe.

Hi

My ROM has some tweaks and extras that needs a soft reset after initialization wth 1st boot. How can I make a automatic reboot just the 1st time the phone boots up?

Problem With add2config Packages?

Hey, I had this problem before where all my packages that I cook in with the add2config method (so they can be removed by the user) aren't installing / aren't being set as default...

These are the following packages that I have the problem with:

BG4All Tabs (add2config) - Doesn't appear in the rom at all

A 6.5.5 Theme (add2config) - Isn't default but is in the list of themes

A 6.5.5 Taskbar (add2config) - Doesn't appear in the rom at all

All this was solved when I changed the runcc rgu file: e110406e-9af4-4cdc-932d-255ac9636f4d like everyone says to "ResetDevice"=dword:00000001

But since rebuilding my kitchen im having the same problem, Ive changed the reset device to 00000001 but still none of the add2config packages are working :( has anyone got any solutions? :D

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
I'm not sure anyone will be able to answer that without being totally lucky if you don't post your packages or build-log or at least the add2config text files. Anway, maybe you already do this, but if you don't, then start doing this: after cooking, look in the dump and make sure everything is there. Also, look at config.txt to make sure all the add2config's were compiled properly. This will save you the flash-disappointment.

Ok theres my buildlog, my run cc rgu file and one of my add2config files :) Thanks.
