I tried deleting it through the phone I can't. So can someone please help me how..?
[HD2 General] rlacsamana1989:
You need to give us more detail.

What IM app? Are you using stock or custom roms? & is this a stock app already on the phone or an app you downloaded.
[HD2 General] abby112:
its a stock app that came with the phone.
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
Stock apps cannot be removed. They are cooked into the stock ROM.

Only solution is to install a custom ROM that doesn't have the IM app.
[HD2 General] abby112:
and how would i do that?

I removed the HtcLockScreen (before removing it didn't work) and have made other mods so it may not work straight away but if this is a feature you like as I do then you might be happy to know it does work.
[EVO 4G General] rscrobinmx99:
Where do you disable HTC Lock Screen.
[EVO 4G General] bender1077:
You need to remove completely, but it is a system app so you cannot simply uninstall.

You can remove this by:

If you installed the Android SDK you should be able to use ADB to remove system apps.

ADB:

adb remount

adb shell

cd /system/app/

rm HtcLockScreen.apk

adb reboot

Terminal Emulator is a free app on the market that also works great. Here is the code to enter when in TE:

TERMINAL EMULATOR:

su

cd /system/app/

mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /system

rm HtcLockScreen.apk

reboot

DONE AND DONE!

Came from a TP2 and I could charge via USB at around 900 mA using fast charge driver.

Since I am a complete Android n00b, and an EVO n00b I have two questions.

1. Are there any apps out there that can show you how fast the battery is charging and discharging? I had one called Battery Monitor in WM, and I want an Android version of that.

2. It appears that USB charging is quite slow. Can anyone confirm the speed at which this phone charges via a USB port?

3. Is there a way to make this faster?

TIA!! :D

A 1. I don't believe there is one (someone correct me if wrong), but there are apps to monitor your battery percentage.

A 2. Not sure, shouldn't be too long, how long is it taking yours?

A 3. I don't believe so.

Thanks...Not sure how long it takes as I havent had the phone too long. I know while plugged into my computer last night it wouldn't charge very well.
[EVO 4G General] Rennat:
Computers have much lower power than a wall socket. If you want to charge the EVO fast use the wall plug. Anyone who uses a Mac and the wired keyboard should know what I am talking about.

A USB port provides 500ma of power, you can get micro USB cable that will Y off and plug into two USB ports, providing 1000ma of power.
[EVO 4G General] supdawg:
Every computer I owned charged my TP2 at around 800-900 mA as long as the fast charge driver was on the phone.

So I know for a fact that it's possible. It's limited by the phone, not the USB port. Appreciate the reply, but did you read Negrito's link?

And Negrito, I did search... This forum.... No hits. I see the link you provided was in the Hero forum. I didn't realize that the fast charge USB issue was affecting other Android phones as this is my first.
[EVO 4G General] Negrito:
My bad broseph, totally forgot im still subscribed to Hero threads. I just switched to the Evo Launch day.

Its not really an issue per se as that's how all phones normally operate. On WinMo we just got spoiled my No2Chems hack. Anyone know if No2Chem made the jump to Android?

I have seen a lot of familiar names on the Evo forum, like OMJ, and Caulkin!!! I cant wait until someone comes up with an untethered root option and how to bypass the NAND cause I know the ROMs are just going to be simply amazing.

Was digging around in the custom menus, can't remember which one, but one of the ones that you type ##numbers# and enter your MSL and there was a check box for USB charging. Mine was unchecked for some reason. I left it alone but wonder if that makes a difference?
[EVO 4G General] SeanFL:
I've tested a few charging scenarios and can tell you that using a wall charger that outputs 1000 ma will help speed up the charge.

These from Monoprice work very well:

http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=103&cp_id=10311&cs_id=1031106&p_id=6767&seq=1&format=2

want the same thing for the car?

try this one.

Here's the link to a micro usb cable at monoprice for $1.20.

There's a nice Rosewill 4 port charger, that will output 2000 ma IF you have only one device plugged in. With two devices plugged in, it falls back to 1000 ma (still really good). I have this in the kitchen for the kids to jack their various usb things in for charging.

The thing to remember is that the phone will pull as much as it can (most recent phones can pull between 750 and 1000 ma.) What will cause it to charge slower is not usually a software setting, it's having a port that will only put out 500 ma or less...which is what many computers output.

[EVO 4G General] kwajr:
there is an option in settings /devolopment for usb charging doesnt ssy what it does though
[EVO 4G General] Impulses:
I don't think mine has taken more than 4-5 hours to fully charge and signal strength isn't the greatest at my house so that probably has an impact on it as well... I've no idea if that's normal for a smartphone or if it's considered slow, I don't think my Sony Ericsson feature phone was any faster but the battery indicator on that thing was wildly inaccurate anyway.

My EVO seems to charge just as fast w/the included HTC adapter as with a generic Philips one I had, as well as one of those retractable cables. I was afraid that cable wouldn't be very well shielded and it wouldn't charge right but it seems fine, I'll only be using it when I travel anyway.

[EVO 4G General] supdawg:
I could charge my Touch Pro 2 in about an hour or two using a standard usb plug on any computer I owned.

Might I add the Touch Pro 2 and the EVO share the same identical battery. The EVO obviously draws more current..... I found while using my EVO while plugged into a computer, it barely charges at all. My guess is its discharging while charging at a very similar rate.
[EVO 4G General] holob:
Contrary to what most of you are saying, the ma rating of the charger really makes no difference as the phone (and prior htc phones) will pull <500ma if they detect they are plugged into a computer or non-official charger and 1a if they detect an htc charger (which can even damage 500ma chargers). The way this is detected is through grounding of one of the microusb pins in the official charger (and indeed many generic chargers but not all will be detected this way). Absent this grounding (I forget which pin), it will charge at a slower speed. I know of cheap 500ma chargers which have been caused to smoke by attaching a cable with that grounding fooling the phone into thinking it is an oem charger. Many chargers labeled 1a will charge at the 500ma rate as well.

Also, modern computers are fully capable of outputting 1a of power through the usb port. While the spec indeed is 500ma, with a proper cable (or the fastcharge driver for windows mobile), you can force a 1a power draw without any issues. Cheap usb hubs or cheap usb power ports may run into issues.

I'd love to see a solution for android but I don't think one exists.
[EVO 4G General] sw99:
Actually the HTC battery Widget will show you if you are on AC (1A) or USB (500ma) charge. You can get this widget from the market (not sure why it is not included in the phone in the first place).

I think that the grounding pin is likely the trick and I will be searching the web to see if I can locate it. I have an older battery pack from APC that can output 1.6A but the only way to get the EVO to charge as if it was on "AC" is to use the HTC plug, and then quickly, before the charge light goes out switch to my alternate source. This seems to trick the EVO into thinking that it is still plugged in to the official charger.

This is of course trickier with my car charger, which has been very frustrating - using the phone for navigation and plugged in via usb usually has the battery draining rather than charging!

I wish there was an easy way to fix this, my old phones always attempted to pull as much current as they needed.
[EVO 4G General] TurboX2:
My friend uses a 2A charger for his HTC touch pro 2, and it uses the same battery as the EVO if u guys didnt know.

i havent tried it on my evo, but being its from htc too (and uses the same battery)... id expect it to work with that much current.

I currently use a 900mA one in my car, and i do notice that if i use something less than that i tend to get feedback from the audio jack that connects to my cassette player
[EVO 4G General] sw99:
Found a discussion on this on the android forums relating to the HTC Desire:

<Too new of a user, system won't let me post the link>

I opened a car charger and shorted pins 2 and 3, and the phone did show charging over AC (2 and 3 are the data pins, 1 & 2 are power). My multimeter was acting up, so I am not sure whether the EVO is actually pulling more current - it does appear to be charging faster.

If you try this make sure of 2 things:

1. You charger is capable of 1A.

2. If you choose to short the pins on a USB cable make sure this cable never gets plugged in to your PC.

Hi All,

Got my x10 a few weeks ago... Love it...! far better than my laggy WoeMo Diamond I've been battling with for the past year or so...

Anyway, I've given Google Sync a go, and while it's ok, it's really only good for calendar... Correction: it's only good for calendar full stop.

Sony Ericsson Sync looks like it might do the trick, but I don't have the program on my x10 - it looks like it was removed by my operator or something (I understand VHA have removed it worldwide, but dunno why - theory is that they want you to use some stupid web portal of theirs, which I understand is equally sucky)

So, to cut a long story short, can anyone send me the *.apk file for it - I've trawled the web, but can't find it anywhere...

Before anyone starts ranting about piracy, and this is not the forum for it, I'm only asking for something that should be on my phone in the first place... There are plenty of other forums I can go to for pirate software, but XDA is the only one for good honest support... :)

Thanks

Sorry mate. I think you'll need someone a little more phone savvy than myself to help you with that one. I had a good look through phone files and so on but I can't seem to figure out what it is that you need that I could extract and send.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] k1sr:
Yeah, it's a little odd, as it seems that the file it's telling me it can't find is the same as the one you gave me...

Although with a bit of a search, there seems to be the following services which might also be needed:

se.tactel.PNPWizard and

se.tactel.android.sync (without the .service on the end)

If you've got any idea how to pull those off your phone, that would be awesome...!

If not, you've been a big help anyway - thanks! :D

Probably pretty late addition to this... but similar to the original post I could use a SE Sync apk... not because the Google one isn't good (because it is) but because SE backed up my things before I started using Google, and now need to retrieve a number from the sync.

You can kind of do it online, but I found a problem where if you used non-standard fields, then online you can't see them.... like I can't see a name of someone I'm looking for, but I know the contact worked on the phone. It's frustratin and not the end of the world, would just be nice to have the option to install the SE software on the SE phone.

have had my nexus since feb now and never looked back till i seen the iphone 4

i hate apple 2 but with all there polished apps and 720p rec and well just the smoothness im wondering if i should take the switch

i live in aust and pretty much no1 knows about the nexus or any even android its weird and there not really in Australian apps for train times or football scores that are any good.. and i have seen apples and there awesome

so after seeing the iphone 4 what you guys think
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isaw:
I'll never buy an iPhone or an Apple product, simply because I dislike how they run things and "assume" for the majority of their user base.

I will readily admit the iPhone4 looks good and will have a stunning display and has loads of apps. However I see the iPhone as a common user phone - not that there's anything wrong with that.

I prefer Android because it gives me the flexibility to customise and manipulate almost everything on it, how I want and in the way I want. Apple does not.

And you can't really compare teh hardware between the two - the iPhone4 is a good piece of kit, no doubt. But keep in mind the NexusOne came out long before it. New hardware and kit comes out every month or so - within a few months there will be phones that greatly surpass the iPhone4's hardware.

It comes down to what YOU want from a phone. I'm happy with Android and will stick with it, having used Symbian and Winmo 6.5 previously. I've used an iPhone - and I don't like the "Apple Experience".

Just my opinion..

Go for the phone that you feel gives the most of your money. We are consumers and I have learned the hard way that no company really cares about you or your support. Companies like MS, Google and Apple are there to make money. Don't feel obliged to stay with a phone or OS because of moral reasons. If one product gives you better value go for it.

For me, N1 was better value than WinMo and I made the switch. A lot of my work is based on google apps (domain one.. no android) so I get more done with android. But if tomorrow, iPhone does it better, Ii will shift.

You will save a lot or be more happy by throwing away any brand loyalty/hatred.
