No I didn't. I was never prompted, and knew better than to seek it out.

I started a fresh thread with my findings. Thanks for the heads up!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kmagn13:
So will this work if i have the OTA update.... BB forced me....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Saturn2K:
Go to unrevoked now and get their evo apk. It will work with the OTA update. Their twitter says so.
[EVO 4G Android Development] deonjahy:
i would really like to know if this OTA update breaks the unrevoked root or not? can someone please confirm or deny or should i just do it myself and report the findings?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Akulamenuri:
I did the OTA update earlier in the day and I just use the unrevoked root method a few minutes ago and it worked just fine. I rebooted the phone and I still have root. Good stuff
[EVO 4G Android Development] sph33r:
Just got done with RUU + OTA and then using Unrevoked. Wow.. so simple. I know it's not quite the same as having a custom recovery and being able to flash roms on it, but that will come with time. I'm just happy the programs I need to work are working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] justinisyoung:
i'm pretty sure that after you use the unrevoked apk to get root, you can use flash_image to flash a custom recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyecon82:
Can you uninstall the apps from Android instead of Recovery like the old version? Thanks

Okey.

Seems to be a pretty good ROM so far

Linpack scores @ 710MHz with OC widget

4.769 MFLOPS

1.13 seconds

Neocore wont unpack for me :( EDIT: an uninstall, and new install of neocore solved the problem

Wlan, multilanguage, different widgets are working fine.

The speed is nowadays like the all the great 2.1 roms out there, very good.

Quick boot (and flash). Works fine on first boot

Have no tested more than that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marius.szabad:
same problem

No offense but, it has the same problem as all the other vanilla roms, no bluetooth audio during calls.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jayce996:
hello is it possible to have access to the download by any other way than 'Personal Network Storage' i'm in my office and all this stuff is blocked:mad:

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] qpop:
Hi sorry but to clarify - is this built from source by you or is it androbin rehashed? Also what third party apps bundled?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
Red? Well I guess it's different from Green. I've not tested, but can anyone else confirm?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bjarte:
I only have one issue with vanilla roms, and that is that when I choose my locale (Norwegian), the clock changes from saying 12:00 to 12.00. I would really like somebody to point me in the right direction to fix this?

Could this be an error in Android, or is it the ROM?

This one looks promising though! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reidefors82:
forgott to tell you that my camera works fine, no red, or green what i could se
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
finally, i have been waiting for an update. Is this based of robins or purely cyan?

THANKS
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] meLIanTQ:
Really bad rom ...

Same bug with androbin:

Su bug, no facebook sync (but it's easy ... just hack build.prop), gralloc bug not real cyanogenMOD port

EzHero real cyanogenmod port.

Openhero it's just a androbin rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hanser01:
Well the good news is that the next build will be straight of EzHero, and a bit me customized :D. But for now, it was a good start to get back in the game
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
well with that rls u took yourself out of the game
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hanser01:
Yes, It does I believe
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Yay

New Release is coming soon!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] qpop:
Don't listen to the "dev purists" nothing wrong with rehashing other ROMs if you add stuff to it, that's the whole point of open source and GPL!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mustafa_000000:
many thanks for your response.

I will try it soon.
[HD2 General] D_monie3:
I just upgraded to the new T-mobile software, and HD Wall wallpapers are not working anymore. I have installed the patch as well as Back ground on all tabs, then I cleared the cached and home wallpaper registry entries, and I still get nothing... Any ideas?
[HD2 General] Paten:
I've been using the T-Mobile upgrade for the last 2 weeks with no problems. I have downloaded a couple of different wallpapers from here, and have had no trouble using them.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
You don't need to run BG4A as well...it's an alternative to HDW really, not a compliment to it. If the HDW cab was constructed using the appropriate settings for your versions of WM and Sense, then all you need to do is run the HDW cab, and the HQ patch. Try uninstalling all of them you have installed, then just run the HDW cab of the background you want, then the patch.
[HD2 General] D_monie3:
Still not working... :(

I tried that, my task bar and bottom bar changes, but my actually background remains black... I even hard resetted my phone to make sure it wasnt something I previously did.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Then you might not be installing the right HQ patch, because that's what it corrects, the image only appearing on the top/bottom bars and not in the middle. I've attached the one I use that works just fine on my original tmo stock ROM...it should work on yours as well since the upgrade still has the 2012 sense build.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Darelica:
First post by me.

I have encountered while using my hd2 a high standby power consumption. After a soft reset the standby consumption was 2-5 mah, but after using the

following programs:

coreplayer

gprofile(remove this app it consumes a lot of battery during standby)

using the wifi and turning it off

BTTrayCE found at the startup folder. (this is needed to operate the bluetooth)

i think all of this and some other programs have memory leaks because if you close them or kill their processes the ram is not changed to the original point when you start the device which for me is 180mb+. It will consume 20mb of flash even after closing.

i have encountered a massive increase in power consumption. Now the battery usage is about 11-37 mah or even more up to 50 mah during standby. This problem sucks out the power of your phone. this reduces standby time to 90-27 hours from 250 hours that sucks.

My Temporary solution for this is to soft reset your phone after using this programs it will restore the power consumption to 2-5 mah.

Clear ram doesn't solve this problem, it doesn't restore the ram to the initial state and the power drain is still high.

my startup apps are:

Arkswitch

Galarm Reload

WifiNoStandby

I'm using Battlog or Battery.exe to monitor the power consumption and RescoExplorer to remove things at the startup folder.

i hope someone will find the solution for this because it is annoying to soft reset your phone every time you finished using it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] woaloo:
I also have this issue with my leo. G-Profile was the culprit.

I know, some users get some troubles with G-Alarm too. It's making a lot of bettery drain.

Why do you have coreplayer in the startup

Maybe your GSM/DATA location may give you some troubles too, phone is allways looking for cell towers.

2~5 mAh is quite normal. 50mAh is a bit too much.

There"s a lot of thread about HD2 battery drain.

You can use BattClock to see immediatly your battery state. very useful...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kalavere:
My advice to you, if you haven't already, is to Download a custom ROM to enable 576 Megs of RAM. And download a decent task manager like Arkswitch so you can manually kill processes. And thirdly, buy a spare battery! It's an absolute essential. I have a programme that monitors in coming and outgoing data & Resco Contacts working away in the background and it doesn't really make much difference to my battery life.

*Edit* Also get RAMCleaner if you don't already use it, it'll free up that leaked memory for you. Not that you really have much to worry about if you have 576Mb enabled.:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] FRANQ_23_PL:
Guys can you tell me what app you used to measure power consumption in mAh? In Nokia N82 i hat Energy profiler, but i don't saw anything similar for WinMo...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] elburna:
See two posts above yours...:rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] FRANQ_23_PL:
I use this app and i don't see any option to see mAh consumption, only shows how many % battery left :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] random_username_:
you have to go into the settings and add battery current
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chris_ah1:
I have this only at girlfriend's place. wipes my battery overnight. Must be Myphone trying to sync over gsm and the other data things.

It's patchy - swinging from H to E to G and sucking 60% in 9hours.....at home with full H it sips about 7% overnight (12hours idle), even with bluetooth on.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Darelica:
a

thanks for the tips! I have already used clearram also known as RAMcleaner. what Rom would you advice?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Darelica:
Battery drain

I don't have coreplayer in startup after you close it causes the battery in standby to drain higher than normal.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hebbe:
as i read in the development forum, the 576 mb is just a trick. you don't really get physically 576 mb ram. the chiefs there say with this hack you can get whatever amount of ram you like, e.g. 2.048mb. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kalavere:
I use NRG's EnergyROM, all the themes are excellent.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chris2busy:
The user is concerned about battery life..so certainly NRG rom would be one of his last choices..

Try Upgrading to a more recent radio rom first i would suggest..no data will be lost during this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kalavere:
NRG does many themes, you're telling me Titanium is a battery killer? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chris2busy:
As you said NRG rom series do many things..but battery optimization is in no case one of them...Got at leas 2x as much when moved to Artemis series
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Darelica:
2x less power consumption? may i know what is your average mah consumption on idle and on standby? thanks. i have been using battery.exe. i have found it here on xda.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Darelica:
my current radio is 2.06.51.07, i have updated my phone with the official rom from the main site of htc. i have heard 2.07 but i do not know where to download this update.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] maxld:
Turning 3G and Windows Hotmail push sync off was a winner for me. Now drainage is gone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HectiQ:
you can edit settings for myphone so it doesn't autosync :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aLlamaWithARifle:
The best thing for your battery life for me is update the radio to a newer version and then get bandswitch, I did this and now instead of having 0-20% (with auto backlight adjust) at the end of the day I have more like 50-70% (backlight set to max) depending on usage.

Although this doesn't solve the memory leak problems you stated or the battery consumption increasing hopefully it will give you better battery so you don't need to worry as much about battery consumption.
[HD2 General] wolfee:
Is this just me or is this SOP for the HD2..

I check my emails with my HD2, I keep the ones I want to, and delete the ones I dont. But the damn phone will not update the emails as read or deleted.

So on the next check cycle, the same emails pop back up as unread. The only way I have found to keep this from happening is to go to my actual email accounts and mark them there. So annoying.

Is there something I am doing wrong, or is my email on my phone screwed up, or is the just the nature of the HD2 email checker?

Is there a way to fix it?

[HD2 General] runuts:
Emails Won't Delete from Server

I too am having a problem getting emails to delete. I can delete them on the phone, but the next time it connects to the pop email server, the deleted messages reappear and I do have the setup marked to delete them from the server.

Email on my Kaiser worked perfectly with the same settings until I flashed a recent 6.5.x rom at which time it started having the same problems. I assumed this was a problem with the ROM, but the T-Mobile official ROM does the same thing.
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
just to be sure, is your email account set up as the "Outlook email" or a standard email account?

if it is a standard email account, make sure you are using IMAP and NOT POP3.
[HD2 General] BumAround:
Can't remember from the back of my head right now, but tinkering with the settings somewhere for each account, there's an option to "delete and put into the trash can" or "delete it completely off the server".
[HD2 General] runuts:
Solution for Delting E-Mails

The following worked for me. I found that changing the setup to delete immediately as opposed to the default setting of delete on connect/disconnect fixed the problem.

Click the "Windows" hardware button and select "E-Mail" / "Menu" (soft key) / "Options" / "Storage" (tab) and change "Empty deleted items" to immediately.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarsVaeda:
Hi,

how do i properly use (car) navigation?

I choose "car home" and then put in a destination.

I get the directions then and also can get a map overview where my route is displayed.

But how do i get a 3D Street view, 3D real street view or at least the map with my route pointing in the direction i have to go and follow the route?

Can't get that to work somehow...

Thanks for your help!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Are you in the US or the UK? If not, then no official Navigation for you I'm afraid (although you can install [brut]Maps and gain most of the functionality.

When you get the directions list, underneath 'Show on map' should be a 'Navigate' option. An easy test is to just fire up the voice search and state: "Navigate to the nearest McDonalds" and see what happens.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Tap on the top left of the screen, (the direction arrow of your next step).

Then press the little man on the right, it will switch to 3D Street View mode
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarsVaeda:
I'm in germany and i do not have any little man.

I guess there are not many cities with street map here if any!

But i can not setup maps to follow the route or rotate the map to the direction, making it very difficult to use it for driving assistance.

:(

Is there any way (app) to get a workaround?

I just need google maps in 3D or rotate the map to the direction.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Yes, install [brut]Maps (or install Nav Launcher from the market and let it do it for you) and that will allow navigation.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarsVaeda:
both not available for me :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarsVaeda:
just got information that it is available in germany too with this day, hurray!
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
I just got inspired by the Evo4G and the Incredible.

Does anyone (who've taken the HD2 apart) know how the speaker grill is housed on the HD2? How far down into the phone do I have to disassemble in order to spray paint the black speaker grille? Will it be an easy task or no?

Anyone willing to try?
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
Rebump. Inspiration?
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
Just realized that the evo4g's speaker grill are not white, they are chrome silver! Awesome!
[HD2 General] ephestione:
you don't really need to bump your thread twice in a matter of 2 days :p

Anyway if you're talking about the ear-speaker, then you can find disassemble videos for the HD2, one can be found at mikechannon's pae here http://www.mikechannon.net/page1.html

The other one, a seemingly official video that was even better, I once saw linked on yourube from a post in here, but I'll be damned if I can remember where it was! Damned my habit of NOT-bookmarking pages on the internet

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] roisagi:
+1 for this amazing idea...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ben_duder:
Why would you want to, anyway? 21XXX builds are still being updated (as far as I know) and the only real difference between those and the 23XXX is the taskbar... So why not just flash a 21XXX?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] firetiger:
I flashed a 21xxx rom and i preferred 28xxx rom. the difference is that 28xxx roms have details that makes it far superior compared to 21xxx. i wouldn't want to give up that rom for 1 app. also, roms for palm treo pro aren't updated that often... But the guys there are still doing their best. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] roisagi:
the reason is there are apps that donot work due to the bottom taskbar...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ytsejam_:
i agree with this. one reason i can't go upgrade to the newer builds as well is because of the "on screen keyboard" overlapping problem with the softkey bar. using 23xxx means that i need to get stuck with HTC Ezinput - which i hate so much.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ben_duder:
Oh, right... So you want the newer builds for the stability, etc. but don't want the bottom taskbar?

I haven't used a 21XXX in ages and wasn't aware there was so much missing :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kamerunka:
you may use fingerkeyb, it will not overlap, at least if you set the right value 68 instead of 52 in the skin settings

This is for those of you who are for what ever reason New or Clueless about the android ways, and have no clue what to do with your new mytouch slide.

Also you can go to market and search Adobe, download the pdf viewer and you can view the pdf right on your MT3g Slide.

I know this info is redundant and is common sense but theres always those few. And if you read the owners manual you wont ask how to work the phone. If its not in the owners manual then it needs to be revised.

THANK U! I have been looking all over the place for this, but I didn't think to look on the HTC website. Duh! :p
[myTouch 3G Slide General] shadowmike:
i actually took the url from the phones very own help files :)
[HD2 General] hackm0d:
I really wanted to go for an Android device, but since none of them is GSM and has a screen this big, I'm going for the HD2.

Just a few questions:

1. Is the glass screen prone to cracking? Even on gentle drops?

2. How oversensitive is the touchscreen? Can I type as fast as I do on my Nokia E90?

3. Does it have a tendency to corrupt 16GB microSD cards? I've seen some threads around it.

4. How stable is it for daily life usage?

5. Does it work with a bluetooth keyboard?

6. Can you hook up a PS3 bluetooth controller and play FPSce on it? :D

Edit, some more questions:

7. Does it have audio/video lag while playing reasonable quality videos? REALLY worried about this one...

8. How's the camera and video recording?

Thanks to whoever can answer these. :)
[HD2 General] ribcage:
1. There have been different reports. Some say they've broken theirs on gentle drops, others have had some big drops with no damage. I find the HD2 to be a good solid build. Best advice is get a good case and be careful.

2. There are tweaks if you find the screen to be oversensitive and a variety of good keyboard solutions and other suggestions right in these forums. I was using a hardware keyboard on my previous device so it took me a little time to adjust. Now, I'm quite happy with my typing speed even with the stock keyboard.

3. I formatted a 16mb card and inserted it into my HD2 on day one. I have absolutely no problems to report.

4. My HD2 is very stable. I rarely have to do a soft reset even with heavy use. Again, there are utilities like CleanRam that help keep you stable without soft resetting.

5. Yes, but check the accessories threads, I don't which ones work best.

6. I'll leave that one for someone else as I'm not much of a gamer.
[HD2 General] karaern:
hd2 is a very good hardware(big screen, cute looking etc) but has WM OS (worst on the planet). in my opinion go to android phone. HTC EVO4g or Desire dunno but i can say only that the WM sux badly.

and yes its stable if u dont do anything except carrying the phone in pocket and just talk a bit....otherwise will wake up in a nightmare !
