[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] justguyh:
hello.

i have the htc hd2.

i've installed bsb tweaks and CHTeditor.

today i've activated s2u2.

i like it. it's iphonelike and comfotarble, but...

when i get a call, the wm6.5 slide to answer and small picture are still active, and i can see the answer key of the s2u2, underneath.

i have 2 questions:

1. am i missing something? how do i cancel the wm6.5 look and keep only s2u2

2. do i need the bsb and CHT or is s2u2 has all of their options?

i have to say that at some point when i played a bit with CHT suddenly i couldn't get the old slider lockscreen and had to install another one...

shoul i uninstall CHT? i realy like s2u2...

thanks very much

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aznneedlovetoo:
Okay I understand that the official 2.2 will not be coming to the G1 due to the outdated hardware. But I also understand that a lot of the ROM dev's are trying to transport it to here.

My question is, When the dev's do release the 2.2 can we expect the same speed upgrade as the official 2.2 does? Froyo = 450% faster on g1?

Doubt it right?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kemekill Products:
It's possible they could get the speeds that high but your phone would eventually take a massive wear and tear from overclocking and constant swap usage.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohwut:
Froyo won't be quite 450% faster, but it's definitely going to have some measurable level of speed improvement with 2.2 and a JIT enabled Over-clock Kernel.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
That 450% number is misleading.

It is NOT 450% faster. SOME OPERATIONS are 450% faster.

The key word being SOME.

As for 2.2 being faster... the reason it is going to be faster is because of JIT, not because of overclocking/etc.

In other words, to do the same function, it needs to do ***LESS WORK***, and because it can do the SAME amount of work in the SAME TIME as 2.1, having to do LESS work will therefore take LESS TIME.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Are you MAD?

Who said anything about overclocking and swap.

Speedup due to JIT!

JIT means that there is LESS WORK TO DO = LESS TIME to do it.

Swap usage? A well implemented JIT can actually use LESS MEMORY = still no swap needed. Who the heck wants to swap? It just slows you down!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kemekill Products:
rofl, have you seen the attempts to getting JIT working right in the pass 3 months. it's been constant failure. every rom that has JIT runs faster without it enabled. It's a nice dream.. (haha get it dream like the phones name... FUNNY)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
I'm pretty sure you need to stop answering questions until you read up on a few things. The speed improvement in Froyo is because JIT is officially supported in the build by the Android team at Google.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AthlonBoy:
Some people already have Froyo "running" on the G1, but it's not useable as a phone. You can expect someone to perfect and port it just like people have done with Eclair.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kemekill Products:
I'm pretty sure I watched the I/0 conference and know all about it. But my point still stands every dev on xda who has attempted to get JIT working with the g1 has failed. All it's done is bog down the system. So you kind sir need to stop talking when you think you've felt intelligent.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
You've missed the point. People were trying to wedge JIT into builds where it didn't belong, thus the problems. Froyo is built around JIT natively, so it just works.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmhecker:
Android 2.2 ("Froyo"), will be running on the G1 as soon as the Source Code drops.

With it being built around JIT natively, it will have noticeable speed improvements. I tested the SDK/N1 dump on my G1, and it was amazingly fast. One can only imagine how fast it is going to run once the source drops and it is actually built for the G1.

Right now, the Froyo release that is out for the G1 is working. It just has no external audio (IE: music, ringtones, notification sounds, etc). No BT, camera, wifi, etc; you know, the usual things that are broken whenever a new release comes out. Give it time, CR and enatefox will get a build done as soon as possible.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] alex538:
i have an problem with my device: when i do an soft reset, he automatically connects to the wireless provider(KPN). I can telephone for a few minutes and then the connection is lost but the xda sais he has still connection.

when i want to phone somebody, there comes no noise out the speaker(there is no dialing), also people who wants to phone me will get an woman-computer-voice that sais "the phone is not on the network now, please try again later".

When i set the xda to connect manually to KPN, there are no problem what so ever. But when i do an soft reset, he wont make contact, i need to set it back to auto, then do again an soft reset, and then set it back to manual and connect to KPN.

i think that an radio update maybe will work, btw i have tried all windows from romkitchen but all have the same problem. i have windows 2003 se now installed.

[Desire General] ermacwins:
Ok now that we have root on our phones and some form of recovery for the desire (on pc?)

Do we have a option to make a nandroid backup like other HTC devices? Im only asking because im borrowing my bros phone and want to try Nexus Roms and others but he wants to keep sense!

So what are my options?

also how can i make my google account primary over my bros?

Thanks
[Desire General] ermacwins:
ok all these issues solved i have defrost flashed at the moment

is there a nexus 2.1 rom port abailable? the froyo ports are buggy
[Desire General] rolfd:
The dev forum is full of 2.1 roms. Some with sense, some without.
[Desire General] ermacwins:
i dont see a good workin one there
[Desire General] rolfd:
Every one of these work. You are never going to get the perfect rom to suit your needs unless you make one yourself. The instructions to make your own are on the dev forum too.

Take a decent bit of time and read the threads on the dev forums and decide what you want then flash it. If it's not for you, try another.

[EVO 4G Android Development] adeyo:
i read somewhere that the nexus 1 had a feature built in (hardware fuse?) that when the phone was unlocked? or rooted?? there was no way of relocking it with the stock rom?

does anyone know if this is the case with the evo? or will we be able to relock and reflash the sprint htc stock rom if necessary for insurance purposes, etc?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] maejrep:
Due to a technicality, and assuming Sprint/HTC don't change anything prior to the June 4 launch, you will be able to unroot back to stock, as if nothing happened.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hazzahex:
Hi,

I am having issues with the windows folder in my HTC HD2

I want to customize one of the PNG files, and i have done so on my PC but when i want to copy it to the windows folder and replace the existing file i get a message saying Access Denied, :confused:

I think this is because the PNG may be in use (Volume Control) so how can i change the file without getting this message. I have looked over the other threads and people have said to use Total Commander but i still have the same problem :(

If only i could access the files on the device memory before they become in use?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated :)

Thanks

P.S. i have attached the Volume Control PNG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
Take TotalCommander (for PPC) or RESCO-Explorer for such things.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
Or just make a .cab of it and install :D

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
Hey everyone, I'm a soon to be owner. I'm coming from a long life with Blackberry, and even though I love their push solutions and stellar battery life, I need a change. Iphone doesn't work for me,because it's too closed. I had a device with android 1.5, and I loved it, but it was lacking a lot. Android 2.1 and 2.2 looks great. The HTC Desire is an awesome device (spec wise) and I will go pick myself up one next week or this weekend.

But I did have a question.

How's typing on it? I'm a very fast typer. Can the processor keep up? I've had devices that have lagged on typing. I'm fairly accurate and such, but will the device slow down while writing a long email or anything like that? My old android device had this issue. How's the on screen keyboard?

Thanks guys . :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasand:
The on screen keypad is fast, no lagging at all and really accurate.

I can say 100% that even a fast typer will not be able to cause any lag. the only niggle is that the full stop is pretty close to the space bar

so.sometimes.i.type.like.this. but hey thats me not hitting the space bar.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
Lol! Thanks :) I can't wait to get my desire :). I hope it rocks! I'm looking to go away from Blackberry! Regardless, does double space introduce a full stop? on my BB it does, and on the iphone as well it does. I think HTC should implement that. It's a great fast way to put a period!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpk:
Yep, double space does enter a period. BTW I'm sure you'll be really pleased with your Desire, it's a really awesome bit of tech.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scann69:
Anybody jump ship from Touch Pro2 to Desire? How are you holding up? I know the specs are good but i'm only worried i cannot get used to the on screen typing....been a qwerty person since Palm Treo180 :p

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yupsmith:
Hello,

I found so manny information about flashing a new ROM for my iPaq. My problem is that I can not force my HX2110 to boot in pre-bl mode:( none of the different key-combinations are working. No difference if I press any keys togehter with the reset (stylus), just the same result when I do a reset only with the stylus. My ROM currently is 1.10.02 WM2003 SE

thank you!

yup
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
If the procedure below does not work it's quite possible that there's something wrong with your iPAQ.
[Desire General] Tiger33:
I've heard some people say they get 3 days out of their desires and others saying they get just over a day.

This thread it would be great to collect a list of people with desires and their average battery life as well as a list of apps they have installed and widgets on display and maybe the rom they are using.

Just trying to work out

I'm going to collect data and put something up tomorrow - but I noticed last night that my battery went down really quickly when my Alarm went off (using Gentle Alarm) I also confirmed this using JuicePlotter which showed the battery sharply decrease just at the same time in which my alarm was set to go off.

I also noticed that having wifi turned on didnt seem to effect battery life that much...
[Desire General] choccy31:
Yeah my battery lasts really well leaving WI-FI on too. Not sure why others have an issue with it.

My battery will last a day tops turning on from 7.30 and off again around 12am ish

During day I will use Seemic (on manual update) and use FB on net every now and then.

May occasionally go to the Market for Updates.

I only use mobile Network when I need to so I turn off and on when required.

I will play Word Up and Solitaire for 30 -40 mins a day roughly.

Battery % will vary between 65 - 45 by 6.30 pm

Today it is down to 75% at 2.10pm - although I've not played any games today so far.
[Desire General] awestenb:
I bought an X10 and returned it because the battery wouldn't last even a day despite having all kinds of task-killing crap installed.

Then I bought a Desire and had the same problem - 6, maybe 7 hours of battery.

I found a post on some obscure blog that helped me track down the culprit: there are apps that don't let the device go to sleep completely. I had two of them. And Android (at least the HTCs) have a built-in function to see exactly what those processes are:

From the dialer: *#*#INFO#*#*, choose Battery History from the menu and then Partial Wake Usage. Nothing should have more than a tiny fraction of a bar. But on mine, Grooveshark was using 99%. I uninstalled it, tried again a few hours later and saw that Mikandi was using 99%. I uninstalled that, and now I'm getting more than 24 hours of heavy use.

Some apps just don't behave.
[Desire General] choccy31:
Why would Dialer App have such a high network usage?

It shows up as using a lot of network!
[Desire General] dieselboy:
Wouldn't the dialer use the network to call people when you dial?

Thanks for the "cheat code" on the hidden menu. Very interesting.

I can sometimes squeeze 2 days out of my battery. I'll only get a day and a half on this charge though because of lots of txting and facebook use.

I found this menu option in Settings > "accounts & sync" > Background Data. I turned this off and seem to get a little more battery.

Changing the brightness down a bit helps, and i'll set the screen timeout to lower as its at 1 minute now. Plus If I use friend stream instead of the facebook widget then it updates when I want to and doesnt keep active.

Least amount of battery time i've had is a day. I never turn my phone off.
[Desire General] popkid:
I never get a full day out of mine, maybe 8-10 hours max... I have no idea how some people claim 3 days, I'm not exactly a power user!

Stock ROM (not a provider one, just generic) on T-Mobile UK network

Wi-Fi and GPS off

Widgets: Standard Flip Clock, SMS, FriendStream, Stocks (2hr update), Agenda, News (2hr Update)

Market Programmes: K9 Mail (1Hr e-mail updating), ES File Explorer, Shazam, Voice Search, Pkt Ebay, Tricorder, UK TV Guide, GBCoid

In Standby (screen off), not using web, not calling, not texting, not using apps, I lose around 10% per hour, faster if anything at all is on.

Oddly, despite the very poor (for me anyway) standby life, in call life seems really good, I made a call last night for an hour, where phone was in the orange phase when I started and still hadn't gone red at the end...

[Desire General] Tiger33:
I wanted to try turning background data off but sadly the market does not work when you have this turned off (a warning pops up when you try)
[Desire General] choccy31:
True re the dialer. Was thinking network as on net use.
[Desire General] Tiger33:
anyone got background data or mobile data turned off?

if so whats your battery life like?

also anyone tried with 3G on and compared to GSM ONLY?
[Desire General] Necroman_AI:
Well the only app that have a bigger bar is Android System... Is this normal?
[Desire General] JagSem:
Settings ; About phone ; Battery ; Battery use and it will tell you when it was last unplugged and what has been using it.

4h 27m

Cell standby - 45%

Phone idle - 45%

Wifi -7%

Android system - 5%

Display - 2%

Obviously you can see from that I've hardly used it. A few texts, checking email periodically. Display brightness is on full, weather update is set to manual. Only have a few apps installed. Main one being data counter widget.

2000kb wifi

780kb cell.

Oh, and SystemPanel, tells me I have 93%.
[Desire General] REwulf:
Switch off 3g when you don't need it,this can nearly double your standby/idle time ,use a 2g-3g toggle if its a pain.

Juice defender with its plotter can give you very useful info on when your phone is using its battery the most.

On idle with 2g 1% per hour is normal, with 3g 2-4 %.

As soon as that screen goes on start thinking 15-20% per hour!

Most smart phones are the same,my x1 ,touch pro all got caned when I first got them,but a bit of experience and a few tweaks later they were doing 3-4 days.

Also flatten it and fully charge it when switched off helps too.
[Desire General] danielletch:
My battery life is pitiful too, im a pretty light user now ive had time to play with the phone for a while but battery will always need to be put on charge by around 10pm when only unplugged around 7am the same day.

I bought up the partial wake usage list and UID followed by a number is using twice the power of Android System.

Does anyone know what the UID is?
[Desire General] PeteT:
My battery life was rubbish until i updated the radio version to 32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2. I am also using MCR3.1

Before my battery life would be fully discharged within 7 hours. Now i have 1day+ Not too sure as i now have a brodit car mount that charges my phone during my commute.
[Desire General] zkyevolved:
To update, do you need to root your device? I don't want to root mine, but I want to get the best battery life possible.

[Desire General] copex:
im getting somewhere between 38 - 48 hrs on a charge, no task manger installed with wifi and gps enabled.
[Desire General] @MARK:
Stating the obvious, but if you don't use your phone, your battery will last a long time!

Personally I need to use my phone (otherwise why would I have bought it) so have push email running with full Exchange sync 8 till 8, FB & Twitter syncing once an hour, spend a couple of hours a day making calls, connect to WiFi using my iPass account whenever a hotspot is available and spend a lot of time dealing with emails etc.

I put my "less than a day" battery life down to the fact that my screen is on and doing stuff for much of that time.

Of course if I just leave the phone on the desk at the side of me and don't touch it all day, even with push mail and all that sync, if the screen is not turned on much, I get 2 days.

It's the screen that eats the battery. The more it is on, the shorter the time between charges.
