[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
Download Windows Developer Power Tools from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...d6-1dcc-47aa-ab28-6a2b006edfe9&displaylang=en

It's the WindowsMobilePowerTools.msi at the bottom of the page. It will add Activesync Remote Display to your Start Menu. Connect your device with ActiveSync and run the tool. The device's screen appears in the window. With it active, use Alt-PrintScreen to copy it to the clipboard.

P.S. This stuff was originally designed for WM2003 / CE 4.2. To get it to work on WM 5.0 onwards, you have to do some hacking around. Read the README.TXT file that gets installed into the

C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys\ActiveSync_Remote_Display

directory. The problem is caused by the fact that CPU's have moved on and the software has been left to wither on the vine. Your WM 5/6/6.5 device will, more than likely, have an ARM based CPU in it, but the software will not recognise it, as such. Read the README.TXT file first, but even then, there is an error in it. The program you run on the PC is "ASRDisp - m" not "cerhost2.exe -m" as mentioned in the file. You will also have to connect the PPC program using the name of your PC.(From My Computer -> Properties) It's a lot of messing about, but it does work, as can be seen by the attached.

The other method I sometimes use is to run an emulator image. PrintScrn or ALT-PrintScrn cannot be used to trap the current window as the emulator filters them as part of its own input stream and ignores them. Windows never gets to see it. You have to move the focus off the emulator then use PrintScrn to trap the whole display image, then use Paint to cut out the emulator area that you really want, and then paste it where you really need it. More messing about.........

I seem to be getting pretty significant delay on my incoming SMS, with some messages taking up to 7-8 minutes to come in. I have an iPhone on ATT in one hand, and the Evo in the other, and I've been fast firing SMS to the Evo. I'll get maybe 1 in 3 texts right away, and the rest hang for minutes at a time. When I do get them, the time stamps look correct, and they thread correctly, but it's very concerning to not be getting them right away, or at least in the correct order. Any suggestions? I'm new to Sprint, never had this issue on ATT, or with my Nexus One.

Your title is really funny seriously you say finally Rooted it was only released yesterday so all it took was a little over 24hrs and that to you equals finally rooted.

So, I just switched to an HD2 from an AT&T Tilt 2. Every time I type something, I get 'suggestions' on completeing my words. I don't want them, at all. I've disabled word suggestion in the Input menu, and I've used Advanced Config to change the number of words suggested to 0. Neither setting actually works.

Thoughts, ideas?
[HD2 General] moonchaser:
On the keyboard there may be a button just above the left shift key that says xt9/abc if you press it to highlight abc instead of xt9 it shouldn't offer any more suggestions. At least it was that way on mine anyway.

That was waaaaaaay to freaking simple.

Thank you so much. And thanks from my roommate and girlfriend as well, since I'm not whining about this.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jeffrimerman:
I use advanced task killer and minutes later I see MP3 Store, and Messages running. Before I saw a few others. Are they set to start running in memory for some reason? Not sure if they eat up much juice, but I wonder if I can make a list of certain ones and disable their start up somehow. Is there a task killter that blocks startups?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mccurt29:
same here we need something to block these apps
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thecodemonk:
Messages is required to recieve MMS (Even if you use handcent or chomp or something else as your main client). We tried removing that once in the hero forums and it caused ALL sorts of problems and force closes)

The mp3 store is usually ok to remove though. :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jeffrimerman:
Thanks codemonk,

Do you know that setting in advance task killer is that says "auto kill level"? It is set to disable now, but what does it do? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thecodemonk:
I'm not sure...I avoid task killers as a rule (I installed one earlier to test something for an earlier thread and uninstalled afterwards once I got my info).

http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/ - This should provide some good info on it. :)

The better solution, especially for apps that you don't intend on using, is uninstalling the app (there's a whole thread talking about which ones are safe to remove). :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jeffrimerman:
yeah, that is a great idea. I imagine if I wanted it back I could just install it again. Thanks Codemonk.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nagrom Nniuq:
Why do you need those apps not running? Android will kill them if it needs more memory.

Why are people obsessed with killing stuff? It's not like your phone runs better with 192mb of free memory vs 163mb...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] etiger13:
it actually does, as well as lets the battery last longer since it isnt using as much processing power
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] awesomeindeed:
Let the phone run for a good 12 hours. I was down to 42MB free basically idling and only using Handcent. Killed a few tasks and back up to 175 and everything is snappy again.

I don't like having to use a task killer, I didn't have to with my N1.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jeffrimerman:
maybe there will be an app like Scotty for windows 7. I check and a bunch of bloatware starts on it's own. It's all marketing bs. When there is a nice root stripped down, with all the nice stuff enabled I'll do that.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pyr0path:
download startup auditor from the market. great little app to select and unselect which apps you want to load when the phone powers up. only costs $0.99 usd ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jeffrimerman:
So if I leave it to no apps, will it load up with 0 apps running? Will it also prevent apps from randomly starting after phone is already on? Sounds like a nice app.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] PAPutzback:
Unless startup auditor disables the service there is a list of apps that will randomly start up at times. I went into the application settings and apps like MP3 store don't have an option to uninstall.

I have used task killer to kill all apps and within minutes some start again.

"thecodemonk" why do you not use a task killer. I have only had an Android phone about 24 hours now and got a lot to learn.

First thing being how to enable tethering.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] joey3002:
I have mine set to "safe" and it auto closes things when screen goes black.

Make sure you "IGNORE" certain apps... like the clock or else your alarm wont work... I almost over slept :)

I have the following set to ignore:

Messages

Handcent

clock

gmail

Mort Music player

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] carter53022@gmail.com:
Check out the application "Autokiller." This comes with preset values (optimum, moderate, aggressive, etc.) so that apps will be killed off once your free memory drops below a certain point. This app works great, but it does REQUIRE root to function and must be rebooted to finish applying the settings. Also lists all apps, processes, and services which can be killed off manually as well.

It is in market, search "autokiller". Requires root access, but I can confirm it is working fine.

Wanted to add that I am annoyed by programs that I never intend to use running in the background. From recovery I used Android Commander to quickly select and delete every .apk in /system/app that I never wanted to see again. ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 20tibby_gt06:
Helo guys saw this topic and was over at androidcentral and saw this article which talks about an app that would kill any app that autostarts.

won't let me post links as i'm a new user, but go to androidcentral and look for the article about the app autostarts or just google "autostarts"
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sand_man:
using task panel to kill the "junk" like amazon and mp3 store- also any program that doesnt attach itself to things like facebook or messages - i use skyfire so i have set that to autokill but leave the "internet" running..

i also use this to switch between apps running.. having to hit back back back or even going to home then program list then finding it is a long process.. for example ...

i get a handcent message - go into the threaded sms- type and im done - holding down the home screen doesnt pop all the programs up - therfor i set task panel up to stay on my status bar and hit it then go to the program i want.

how i do that please help me....:)

pleaseeeee =\\\
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] satani:
you should seek for a special Navigation-Devices forum. (just google.)

As PNA's only have the Kernel of WinCEX.XX, the System is dependent on the Software you use. (ie Navigon, iGo, Tomtom, NavGear, Destinator, etc) In most cases, you can upgrade a pre-installed Softare to a newer Version. (which mostly brings new features or support for more recent maps)

There may be some rare occasions where (due to hardware-restrictions) you can not upgrade your PNA and have to live with old maps as newer maps need the newer software.

i once had this problem at an old Compasseo running Destinator 6. it was not able to upgrade the software to version 7 as V7 used higher requirements like screen-res and ram.

There are some german forums, where you can get more information :

http://forum.pocketnavigation.de/index.html

or even a link to a forum that offers maps, upgrades and some hacks (where you sometimes can use another Navigation software on a certain device)

http://www.digital-eliteboard.com/forumdisplay.php?f=189

both links are german, but from that point you may find information, you need.
[Desire General] albert_htc:
as per subject

My Desire was bought from O2, so has it's firmware.

I'm moving abroad next month, will I still get an update to 2.2 ?

I won't be using O2.. will that stop me ?

Would I be better flashing it with a generic rom ?

Thanks :)
[Desire General] jauhari:
It's about choice...

Why you need flashing? if you Desire daily usage for Phone, SMS, Chat and Check Email and little bit Browse the net.. I think wait until official release for Desire much better than Rooted/Flashing your phone
[Desire General] albert_htc:
Thanks for the reply.

I'd prefer not to flash or root it if I can help it.

The question really is will a UK O2 Desire automatically upgrade to 2.2 if used in New Zealand, with Vodafone ?

Thanks :)
[Desire General] tuatha:
Probably not. My understanding is that receiving updates is dependent on your current version. I'm on Meteor in Ireland, for example, but I won't receive any specific Meteor updates, because I have the generic HTC firmware.

So if you're on a kiwi network, with the O2 software, you'll get neither the HTC update nor any update your new network rolls out.

So either debrand now and get the HTC update whenever it's released, or wait until it comes out and flash the 2.2 rom directly.
[Desire General] tuatha:
One other thing you could do is take it to Vodafone in New Zealand and ask them to flash their own software on it. Since you're a new customer, they'll most likely oblige.

But that's if they even stock the Desire, btw. If they don't you'll have to do it yourself.

One thing to keep in mind re:carrier specific firmwares is that it may take an awfully long time for upgrades to trickle down. You could be looking at an additional month or more between HTC releasing it and your carrier releasing it.

And even when they do, they might disable certain features (wi-fi tethering, for example, isn't too popular with mobile operators)
[Desire General] albert_htc:
Thanks

that is what I'd thought..

I suppose the only other thing would be if O2 released it for download, then I could manually install it !!

Are there still issues with wifi and the generic rom ?
[Desire General] tuatha:
Yeah, that's another way. Bookmark this link:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/

The only issues were with people who people who debranded their phone and flashed to the generic rom. But for anybody else, there's no issues whatsoever.
[Desire General] albert_htc:
Thanks :)

If I change the ROM is there any risk ? I'm not bothered about root, but would like to have the option of 2.2 when I'm not in the UK.

can you point me to a firmware flashing guide ?

Thanks again.
[Desire General] tuatha:
Well this is the latest (generic) rom update:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=684259

Very easy to install. Just download the .exe to your PC, and open it while your phone is plugged in. The installer will walk you through.

I don't know if it's that simple for branded phones though. You might have to debrand first... I honestly couldn't say. You might ask in that thread and list your FW number. Maybe somebody else will know.

You're sure it's a branded phone, yes? There's no .405 in the version number?
[Desire General] albert_htc:
My firmware is : 1.20.207.3 CL171460 release-keys

I'll ask in the other forum.

Thanks :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
As most of you know, we have had an issue with charging all nand flashed Android devices, put simply, unlike windows mobile, we cannot charge while the device is powered down.

This has caused quite a few problems for users who are unaware of this, there are many posts related to dead batteries, non-booting devices etc, and although there are steps we can take to avoid this, it is perhaps a more important issue than GPS or Camera.

This is in no way disrespect to those working on these aspects, I have nothing but admiration for the way you guys have improved upon the usability and functionality of our beloved gadgets.

However I feel that we also need to address this issue, it is, for many, a major stumbling block, which causes many to return to Windows mobile, with a sense of dissatisfaction for all that has been achieved.

Much as I'd love to work on this, my skills are not in this field, and have no idea where to start looking, although I suspect it's Kernel based, since it affects all builds.

So what I'm asking for is for those with more knowledge than me, to start throwing a few ideas around, see what we can come up with.

Thanks for reading this :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Millence:
zenity I don't think that is a big issue cause there is a workaround.

I already post this in Warm Donut thread and I learned from polyrhythmic

When your battery is dead, plug phone into the charger and when the LED turns orange power on the device. Then leave it alone to charge.

My battery drains out at least twice a week and powering on while LED is orange always worked for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] loserskater:
I know this isnt the thread for work arounds but I wanted to put my two cents in...

When phone is dead (power button does nothing):

1. Plug in for about 20 seconds

2. Unplug

3. Remove and replace battery

4. Turn on

5. Plug in again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Joe1981AL:
Well while we are throwing 2cents in the pot...

My experience was thinking I destroyed my phone cause even after being on charge for some time after full battery drain it wouldn't come on with power button... Finally poked soft-reset button and it booted right up, and since then I've learned on complete drain, plug in for a couple minutes then hit reset and it comes on...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xPreSiDenT:
Ive also noticed the soft reset thing, but for me the experience is mostly quite different. I havent experienced a long delay between dead battery and charging maybe but whenever my phone turns off at 0% battery, almost every time it turns on automatically when I plug in the charging cable, and I get the charging sound notification during the android splashscreen. I'm using myns warm donut on nand.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
The problem is that all these workarounds are not addressing the root of the problem, we cannot charge while switched off, and this is the issue I'd like to see a solution to.

I like the simplicity of the plug in and power on workaround though, didn't think of that, lol.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] rzk333:
when you flash nbh kernel on device, you overwritting standard bootloader, that knows about system state, when you plugging charger in - phone waits sometime and starts bootloader, that starts kernel without display powered up (you can see it on flashing LEDs) - to fix this problem, we need dump that bootloader code from winmo nbh and try to include it to our bootloader.

problem is - nobody knows how to do that :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Well that's an answer, lol, perhaps not the one I expected, but at least it gives somewhere to look :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
OK... that gives me and idea....

BRB...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
Nevermind...

I had pulled apart the winmo nbh before, so I thought I would give it a try...

I think the HardSPL most of us install to get android installed is the issue.

I flashed just the spl that came with the stock HTC rom for tilt,

it wrote OK but didn't overwrite the HardSPL and didn't fix the charging.

I know some people flash the android nbh without going to hardspl first.

my question would then be...

can anyone that has the original stock spl on the phone charge android with the phone off?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
I think we need HardSPL on our phones to flash the NBH anyway, however wouldn't that affect winmo charging also?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
I haven't gone back to winmo in so long...

Does the phone charge while off in winmo after installing hardspl???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Yes it does, got my spare kais on stock winmo for a work related development project just now, it charges fine when off, hardSPL 3.34.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
well that just shoots a hole in my theory then doesn't it...

the contents of the stock nbh are as follows...

00_GSM_0x301.nb (radio)

01_SPL_0x200.nb (Bootloader)

02_MainSplash_0x600.nb (Bootsplash)

03_OS_0x400.nb (windows mobile OS)

when flashing android nbh's we only change the OS

most of us have changed the radio as well as flashing HARDSPL

I have changed my Bootslpash as well but I am sure that isn't the problem.

like I said... I flashed just the stock spl back to the phone.

but it didn't change the HArdSPL.

however, if the phone still charges with the winmo OS and Hardspl

I am again at a loss.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
just reread this:

so that explains the spl flash not overwriting hardspl...

not sure we want to do that anyway.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
As far as I'm aware it's kernel related, but I really don't know enough about it to know exactly the relationship between the kernel and how it handles charging while off.

When switched off something must wake up the kernel in order to initiate the charging process, now why does it stop charging? That is the problem that has to be solved.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
here is a quote from the wiki...

maybe the SPL is looking for winmo...

do we need an android specific hardspl???

or like you said it may be kernel related.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] blindguyinanorgy:
Just looking for patterns everyone one in this thread is using the newest radio. Maybe try an older radio. My thought is that maybe the battery never went to 0 when you were using wimo and the newest radio (my case).

On a side note. It is really bad to let LiOn batteries go to 0. they are different than NiCad yet many keep the same habits. NiCad had to be drained for the memory problem that LiOn doenst have. I always turn my phone off at 10% if i cant get to a charger. Never need to charge with the phone off.
