How to sync

Please can someone help

I want to sync my phone with my PC (outlook etc.)

I have HTC sync installed but when I connect my phone it's not recognized.

Does any body know a solution????

I have latest Defrost ROM 3.6

Thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
I guess you'll need a Sense based ROM as AOSP ROMs don't work with HTC sync... Correct me if i'm wrong though.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Yeah; only way I could fix it was to full-wipe. It may be possible to selectively clear the data in Settings->Applications->All by doing "clear data" on the relevant section but I'm unsure which it would be, anyone know?

It might be "Settings Storage" or maybe "Settings" but I've really no idea; I wouldn't try clearing either of those without a nandroid backup first :)
[Desire Android Development] popy2006:
And how did you fix this?

Deleting of the paired device doesnt solved it.

thx

I am using Gsyncit http://daveswebsite.com/software/gsync/index.shtml to sync my Outlook (Contacts, Calendar) with Google.

Your Phone will sync with Google automatic too.

This works for my perfectly.

Unsure if you meant to send this as-is, but my reply to the first time you sent it is just above your post :)

[Desire Android Development] mark2305978:
But I don't want to sync with google, just with Outlook.

Is there a program that works with this ROM to sync Outlook contacts and Calendar???

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
I don't mean to be a wise-ass and wish I could help, but if you don't want to use/sync google, why buy a google phone? If you want perfect sync with outlook, you could better use a windows mobile phone...

Anyway, I don't think you'll find such a program, so Gsyncit might be worth a try!
[Desire Android Development] mark2305978:
Just because I don't want to put all my business contacts on my private Gmail account I would like to avoid that.

And until now with other ROMs I didn't have any problems (but I like this one) with HTC sync which can sync only with outlook.

Thanks for your help.
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
No worries, I understand what you mean. Hope you find something...

Im on 3.6 and my batteryconsumtion is Horrible! 77% from the screen. Down at 29% battery after 2 hours.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Is your optical joystick still working? OJ-death is the only thing I've seen do that so far.
[Desire Android Development] popy2006:
Forgot to press F5 :-)

I will give that a try and come back to this thread.

thx

pOpY
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
Ditto, battery life on all the latest versions has been fine for me, except when the optical joystick gives out and battery starts burning at perhaps 10% per hour (maybe android is polling the OJ constantly for a response?)

It's a real shame, the rom is great apart from this. A reboot fixes it but sometimes I don't notice for a few hours, which can mean that the battery doesn't last til I get home.

I've seen the OJ-less mod on the Defrost setup but I find it too useful to do without.
[Desire Android Development] b4bass:
I wanted to test the battery life last night... and i was pretty disappointed!

With 3.6 and OJ disabled in the setup, i lost 25% of the battery between 4am to 1pm...

I use Setcpu@245Mhz@Powersave when the screen is off and i turned the sync off (data + 3G were on)
[Desire Android Development] cloud79:
I can confirm that there is a severe battery drain in 3.6. Screen is on top in consumption.
[Desire Android Development] akirainblack:
Hello again Richard,

This ROM keeps getting better and better thanks for all your hard work. I was just wondering if it would be at all possible to please have a custom kernel with the required modifications for PS3Freedom to work. Before anyone even suggests I'm after this for piracy I want to make it clear I have bought every single game I play on my 360, PS3 and PC I in no way condone any form of piracy.

However with a nephew and niece wanting to play games with me on the PS3 I would like the ability to keep my discs out of their reach so that they don't get scratched or damaged in any way. I am also interested in the possibility of homebrew as I'd love to be able to buy films that they haven't released in this country, eg Igor on Blu-ray.
[Desire Android Development] mrsimes:
Weird as I'm getting the best battery life of all on 3.6. Just 1% per hour when idle and connected to wifi with everything autosyncing.

Never better.

[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Please, double-check your active apps. The graph below was recorded last night with WiFi on, 3G on, data sync active (Google, Facebook, meteo, Twitter), live wallpaper active, screen off, no powersave app installed (no JuiceDefender, no SetCPU) -- check my signature for a list of installed apps (ignore the two aforementioned, I removed them). As you can see, from 2am to 6am the discharge rate was about 1%/hr.

I suggest you to install and use SystemPanel from Market in order to find out which app is draining your power. :)
[Desire Android Development] stueyboy:
I', also seeing a pretty good battery life on 3.6 Probably 3% an hour which for me is good as I have push activesync all the time, wifi on all the time and google synching on as well. I've also used the phone a fair bit today.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
That's 2.7% an hour, which is pretty much what I get, depending on signal strength; that is with wifi and bluetooth and sync on though. I take it you didn't use it at all between those times?

The only time I managed to get any better than that was with the HAVS kernels, which gave me <1% an hour.

Although apparently I'm wrong about that, and they're no better than the SVS ones. Obviously the real-world measurements of all the users in this thread aren't important...

</mini-rant>

I'm actually tempted to give up 720p, which is the only thing I really gain in the more recent ROMs, to go back to 2.4d. It's not like the 720p is really that watchable anyway.

Edit: I tell a lie, I get working auto-brightness too. Lucky me.
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
Is anyone noticing the OJ dies often more on 3.6 (possibly 3.5 too) than previous versions? It used to happen every couple of days, now it's every couple of hours for me.
[Desire Android Development] puffy1980:
I have to admit this would be cool. Triied the verison for open desire, but all that seemed to do was kill my wifi. Would be great on the mod menu in defrost setup if someone can get it working
[Desire Android Development] dawson258:
i noticed that on a clean install of 3.4 the oj fault was no existant however after an flash zip. update of 3.6 it occurs roughly every hour
[Desire Android Development] akirainblack:
There is a disable flash to restore the WiFi and USB http://pastebin.com/Khy5bfLV

what about this theme? it would be great to include it in DeFrost.

I am not skilled enough to develop a theme out of the graphics but maybe, if the community here agrees, some willing developer can be supported in implementing this.

By the way, battery life in 3.6 seems to be slightly better than before. I don't know why but in the early-mid 2.x battery life was great. It got worse over time with new releases.

A small kick for this great rom from Richard!

Plus a sneaky request for a port of the psfreedom kernel module :)

(I'd hate to switch roms just for this feature/function.)
[Desire Android Development] twicejr:
Richard, any chance of HAVS in the future? Would be great with the display savings combined.

Just flash it from defrost setup. If you dont like it you can always flash one of the kernel updates (modules included) :-)

Hi guys

I was afraid about my battery leak and I noticed I'm losing about 5% per hour.. Is that normal?

I installed SystemPanel and this is what my CPU usage history looks like:

System Processes 4.4%

system 3.1%

android.process.acore 0.6%

It doesn't seem that off..

I'm also using JuiceDefender and SetCPU..

This was with 3g turned on every 15 minutes to check for emails and wifi off..

What could be causing this drain?

Thank you
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
hi how do i set proxy settings? it works in browser but not in apps

Reflashing now
[Desire Android Development] emms007:
Using SystemPanel you can click on System Processes and see the detail of the failing process. Is it suspend?

I would bet your Optical Joystick is dead and the device is getting crazy. I randomly check for dead OJ and restart if this happens.

OJ death, possible fix?

New OJ Fixed kernel UP (Kali-)

New kernel up (flash with DeFroST Setup):

SVS 1113Mhz Kali-OJ fixed

You can't use any of the other modules with this kernel (WiFi N-mode module or WiFi No Full Sleep) but that is a small price for a fixed OJ (i hope). Please test and let Kali- know if it's ok (donate button in defrost setup is Kali-'s of course).
[Desire Android Development] drvdijk:
Cheers, will flash shortly and test :)

Could you however explain the various modules enabled/disabled by this (and/or provide links to more information)? WiFi N-mode module I get, doesn't work, but what does the 'WiFi No Full Sleep' module do (and thus now does not)?

Nothing too obvious there?? I work nights and it was charged all Day so I know it had 100% charge.

Just gone up to 3.7, hope battery evens out, however even with the new OJ Kernel my OJ is not working ATM.
[Desire Android Development] santhrax:
I am on 3.6 (just wiped and installed it in the morning). Battery in OpenDesire 4.0.4 drains a lot (appr. 6 hours until battery is empty). Is it possible to disable the OJ via SVS 1113Mhz Kali-OJ fixed? Don't use the OJ.

Also possible to get the HTC Sense Icons statusbar back? I mean the black and white one NOT the coloured one - looks ugly :)

Thx
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Just set it at 998. No problem.
[Desire Android Development] hungrysquid:
Well, for most of the roms I downloaded, flash without wipe just results in stucking at booting animation.

Unless you mean DeFrost setup is different than booting into ClockWorkMod recovery and flash it?
[Desire Android Development] Icedragon520:
Thats just wierd.

I have also set my SetCPU to underclock and still the same :( Help?
[Desire Android Development] herghost:
Just thought I would share my experience with battery level.

From around 1.2-1.9 my battery level was rubbish! I would be lucky to get 8 hours of moderate use. Now things are much better! I currrently lose around 3% every 2 hours when on idle and around 3-4% and listening to music/browsing etc.

Basically what I did was individually uninstall every app on my phone that I could, cleared the market app cache and then selected backup with google, left my phone overnight on charge with wifi connected and let the phone sync. This basically wipes the market history so nothing auto downloads

Next morning, using rom manager, I cleared my cache, wiped all data, wiped davlik and wiped battery stats.

I did a fresh install of the rom and took out certain elements of the zip I dont use (personally I take out gmail, email, mms, torch and the googlecar apks')

Now my app install list is basically as follows:

Launcher Pro

Setcpu

JuiceDefender Pro

I use the 998mhz roms and in setcpu set these at around 728mhz, still seems as snappy as 998 to me and this has proved to be my ideal speed with no slowdown using launcher pro with 5 screens. I then set two profiles, on charge set 998mhz and screen off set 245 mhz.

I leave juicedefender in default settings in advanced mode, and let it control my apn and wifi but not my 3g.

My full list of aps installed after this:

Album Art Grabber

Chrome to phone

Dropbox

Ebay

Estrongs File Manager

Facebook

Fancy Widget

Handcent

LogmeIn

Music Mod

MyBookmarks

On/Off Widget pack

Paypal

Touchdown

Transdroid

Uninstaller

Widgets I use:

Fancy Widget

On/Off Widget Pack (x4)

Transdroid

Music Mod

Launcher Pro Calender

Launcher Pro Bookmarks

This is the perfect combination for me!

and thank you Richard, for a great rom!

[HOW TO] Calibrate Desire Battery

Hi,

if any one have problems with their phone battery and I suggest everyone to follow how to extend your phone battery life.

Click on the Link below: And follow the instructions.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755903

When I read the instructions and it was amazing on HTC Desire and the battery was in 100%, and since last 14 hours came down to 96% ;), this means only 4% percentage battery have lost power in my phone ;). I think a battery to extend on phone will last longer 2 to 4 days, it depends on how you using such as wifi, music and internet, and etc. :)

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I've been trying this. You're only supposed to need to do.it once but even if I wipe battery stats, it seems to need doing every charge for me
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
as a rule of thumb if you keep a power supply in your phone when you flash a new rom, and or first boot of a new rom then it screws your battery up.

If you do not do this then you should only have to rarely recalibrate.

User apps overwrite

Hi,

I apologize if this has been covered before but I really couldn’t find anything related… I’m enjoying the ROM and everything works fine for me except this Launcher Pro issue I’m having.

Trackpad scrolling between homescreens in Launcher Pro doesn’t work, though the OJ is working, as I can move the selection highlight between different homescreen icons in LP. In fact, it looks as though the focus is on icons when it should be on homescreens as a whole.

Can anyone confirm or suggest a fix? Thanks!

Could this also be the case with a nandroid restore?
