Do you switch your phone off at night? The alarm doesn't go off of the phone is turned off. If so, use aeroplane mode at night instead and your alarm should work and you won't be disturbed by calls and texts in the night.

Let us know if this works for you. :-)

I'm not certain what you are trying to say here, but if you've been using a task killer and you have not told it to ignore the clock application, you've been killing your own alarms.

Add clock app to ignore list

I had the same problem until I added the Clock app to the list of ignored apps in Task Killer. Now, the alarm goes off every morning. And before you ask me why I use TaskKiller, I only use it to kill some games which don't seem to exit no matter what I do.

If you want to set up a remote desktop from your HD2 to your laptop through WiFi, using NO ROUTER and NO INTERNET connection, you easily can. What will you use it for and why? It is up to you.. but it can come in handy considering this can be done anywhere as long as you have your laptop and your HD2 with you. This is how:

-Download 'Connectify' here and install it on your laptop

-connectify1.png: 1) The name of the WiFi-connetion that you will connect to from your phone2) Password (not needed, but if you choose none, anyone with a WiFi device can connect to your WiFi 3) Select your Wireless Network Connection4) Start the WiFi router (after this, connect to the WiFi network on your HD2!)

-connectify2.png: 5) and 6) Open your 'Network and Sharing Center' by clicking the link the image shows

-connectify3.png: Follow 7)

-connectify4.png: Follow 8)

-connectify5.png: 9) Write down this number

-RemoteDesktop1.jpg: You have connected to your new Wireless network on the HD2

-RemoteDesktop2.jpg: Open 'Remote Desktop' on your HD2 in [START] -> [Tools] -> [Remote Desktop], in the first field, fill in the 'IP'-address that you found in step 9) in 'connectify5.png'. In the second and third field, fill in the username and password for your laptop (the user-account you use to login to windows)

-RemoteDesktop3.jpg: Settings for your remote desktop.. choose as you please

--> Press 'Connect' and you're good to go!

REMEMBER THAT THIS WILL ONLY WORK WHEN YOU'RE IN THE WiFi RANGE OF YOUR COMPUTER!

Thanks to Leftkats for the solution:

[HD2 General] Demon_man:
Ok so first I'm presuming you have a wireless network, dont no if it can be done without one (correct me if im wrong folks) so im on xp so might be different on 7 but nearly the same i guess

so have your pc and you're phone both running from the wifi

then on your pc go to my computer, right click and open properties, you wanna be on system properties by now and look for Remote, you wanna allow remote assistance and allows users to connect remotely,

then fire up RD on your HD2, where it says computer thats where the ip of the oc goes, you can look it up by clicking the network icon in the desktop of the pc, should be something like 192.168.x.x type that in you're phone (computer section in remote desktop)

the username is the same username as your pc is called or youre account

then click connect have a go if you need more help just reply mate

EDIT I will take some screen shots for you
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
I don't have a wireless network. I have a laptop with WiFi set to 'ON', and my HD2's WiFi set to 'ON'.. not router or anything like that.

I'm also using a Mobile Internet for my internet, so that connection comes up in my network and sharing centre as connected, and the IP is not standard like 192.168.0.x..

You'd think it would be possible to just connect the bastards like good old bluetooth.. well, wish at least.

I have allowed remote desktop in the settings of my laptop.

I believe the main issue here is setting up a WiFi network that I can connect to from my phone /:
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
ok so let me gey this right,

you wanna connect via Remote desktop to the laptop and you have no router?

Why?

Remote desktop allows you to view your computet on youre phone,

bit confused bout what you wanna do now
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
I want to lie in bed browsing my laptop from my phone.. The size of the phone is so much more attractive to me /:

Why is a router such a biggie? And if it is, can remote desktop be used via something more simple assay.. bluetooth? /:
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
as faw as im aware Remote desktop can only be done through the net i could be wrong,

did you say you are using your phones internet on the laptop to browse or a usb dongle thingy lol
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
USB-dongle with seperate SIM dedicated for data use d:

So I've got internet from the comuter (lol, writing here hehe), but I don't want to use GPRS from my phone just to access my laptop /:
[HD2 General] vicky55:
forgot password lock

forgot password lock micro max mobile model W900 pls help !!
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
Ok gothcya, then all you should have to do is have your laptop connected to the net, open Remote desktop on your phone and where it says computer type in your ip address from your laptop, type your username which should match the same as the laptop, and you may need a password on you're win 7 account might not though,

You're ip address can be found here http://www.whatsmyip.org/ on this site it will tell you you're IP address that's what goes in the computer bit in remote desktop mobile on your phone,

I dont think you will be able to do it over wifi as you're not got the laptop on a wireless network, so it will use your gprs data

EDIT = just found this detailed blog, might help you out but still dont think can be done over wifi the way you want it mate

[HD2 General] Luggruff:
Ok, thanks mate, I'll try and see!

Tried the instructions on that blog, it didn't help though ):
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
Im struggling to figure out what you are stuck on now lol, I told you where the stuff is and what you need to do what are you struggling with ?
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
It worked (using GPRS).. too bad I can't do it with WiFi though (direct WiFi to my laptop). Strange though.. if I can share internet with my HD2 by making it a router, it should be possible with the laptop:

Mobile Broadband from laptop -> Laptop as WiFi router -> WiFi on HD2 now with internet -> HD2 on WiFi shared by laptop -> Remote desktop of laptop ):
[HD2 General] leftkats:
so basically you want to be connected on your laptop, which will be set as a router, with your phones wifi connection... interesting... Something like an ad-hoc connection???

I will try that and let you know if it works...
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
Cool! ^^

(also if you can make the laptop a WiFi router that allows the HD2 to connect to it's WiFi and use remote desktop.. with no internet connection at all, that would be awesome!)
[HD2 General] leftkats:
ok found something... There http://connectify.me/ I don't know if its a demo but it didn't ask for any serials so I assume its freeware.. Download and install, and follow the easy to set up wizard... Worked for me...

Cheers
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
Thanks! :D That worked like a charm ^^
[HD2 General] M3PH:
I haven't read through all of the post but there is a better way than gprs. If your laptop's wifi adaptor supports ad-hoc mode (tbh it should. i don't know of an adapter that doesn't) it will be possible to set the laptop up as the network wifi server and then connect the phone to it via wifi. Then, all you'll need to do is right click "computer" on the laptop then click "advanced system settings" and then "remote". Finally click "allow connection from any computer running remote desktop". Next, in the start search box look for "command prompt" and when it appears click it (you may need to run it in administrator mode). Run ip config and look for the ip address assigned to "Wireless LAN adapter wireless network connection".

This is where we move to the phone. Connect the phone to the ad-hoc network you made on the laptop and run remote desktop on the phone. Give the ip you just obtained from ipconfig and give it your username and password, hit connect and jobs done.

I'm not gonna tell you how to setup the ad-hoc network coz i think you need to do some research on google in order to learn the value of how good it is (plus i'm watching the post race from the Canadian F1 GP).
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
Okay d: There was a way easier answer, posting quote (easier):
[HD2 General] M3PH:
Nothing more than a front end for what is already in windows. It looks like it basically does what i was instructing you to do by hand. I won't have used it but i know what i'm doing and i have a wifi/wired domain network so my phone is actually joined to the server and the server treats it like a client. The same as it would the pc so i can use the internal dns to find any machine connected and not have to worry about the ip's (but i do know them all off of the top of my head)
[HD2 General] leftkats:
hehe... was watching F1 as well..!! I did try the ad-hoc option but I couldn't get it to use my existing Wifi connection for some reason... what they do now, is only connecting to computers with wifi connection together... I didn't spend so much time with this to be honnest, but the other option I mentioned before is a lot easier for everybody...
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
Check out the original post (edited) for an easy way, the solution was provided by leftkats in a previous post.
[HD2 General] M3PH:
i would like to point out that it can be done this way even if you have an internet connection and if you use ICS that connection could be shared via the wifi to the hd2. I think the topic should be changed to "creating ad-hoc wifi network for use with remote desktop" or similar. it's more technically accurate and not as misleading

And if i didn't know better i would say you were very politely trying to tell me your not interested. Considering you have now twice told me that you "have a solution" yet all i have said is that i wouldn't have used it becuase i'm a trained IT engineer and i know how to do it with out using any aditional software
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
Yes, it can be done with an internet connection.. I managed it earlier in the thread, thoughI started the thread looking for a way not using internet.

I know that connectify does what is already built in in windows, though, to me.. it's like pure latin setting it up, and for many others not familiar with setting up networks.

The reason I called the thread what I did, is because it exactly describes what the thread is all about. The only thing missing, is marked in red text, capitalized, in the native post.. and if you want the thread to describe how to achieve the same result with an internet connection and even more remote than the borders of the users home, I'll post a how-to in the native post of the thread if you write it down neatly, point by point and easy to understand for anyone that are totally clueless (like me). You will of course be credited.

I did not mean to tell you off in any way, sorry about that.. my focus was directed another way.
[HD2 General] M3PH:
You are misunderstanding what i am saying. So i'm going to say it very slowly and using as short words as i can. Here goes....

You can use remote desktop on a local (ie home) wifi or wired network, while it is connected to the internet at the same time. Your idea that remote desktop will use the internet as the only transport method when it is available is nothing but a fixation in your head. For example, right now i am typing this on my pc, via remote desktop from my phone over the wifi segment of my network and my pc is connected to my router so i can load the webpage. The Remote desktop traffic never leaves the building. If you fancy doing some reading google "how does IP routing work".

I suggested the topic change because in all fairness the current title is so inaccurate that it is misleading. Not becuase i think i can do the method better or i want to add to it.

All i'm trying to do is help you.
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
Thank you, I just realized what was important in this thread:

-You need no router..

Sorry, I just forgot that little detail, and I see why there was a misunderstanding. The thread will be updated with this little detail ;)
[HD2 General] M3PH:
i still think the title "Creating an ad-hoc wifi network on widnows 7 for use with remote desktop" would be far better becuase that is exactly what it is you are doing.

This is also the point where i give up because your just not seeing what i am trying to tell you and therefore i am wasting my time. Just do everyone else a favour and take my suggestion for the thread title, please. It will help other newbies when they are searching for help on similar problems
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
Ok, that's your opinion. To me, it's misleading calling it an 'ad-hoc wifi network' since the regular HD2-user would probably understand Remote Desktop as it is what the HD2 directly offers. The service is a Remote Desktop, and not an ad-hoc network.. an ad-hoc network does not need to have a copy of your desktop to be used, it is not it's main function. If I wanted to know how to browse my computer through WiFi and FTP, I would not have created a thread asking about Remote Desktop specifictly.

Newbies don't use terms like 'ad-hoc wifi network'.. if you know what a ad-hoc network on a computer is, you most likely know how to set it up.

Did you know that even windows have a function built in called 'Remote Desktop'? Maybe they made a ad-hoc function, forgot about it and invented the same concept only the next time it was time to name it, they called it 'remote desktop'? /:

Please drop it. Remote desktop != Ad-hoc network
[HD2 General] leftkats:
I did not manage to share my existing wifi connection with ad-hoc for some reason... how did you do it?
[HD2 General] M3PH:
How To Create An AD-HOC WiFi Network for use with Remote Desktop and ICS

Easy!!!!!

On windows 7 go to "Network and sharing" in control panel. Hit manage wireless networks on the left had side. Then hit add. A wizard will appear and give you two option the second is an AD-HOC network. Run throught the wizard and that's the pc done. At the end it will ask if you want to turn on Internet connection sharing so you can browse the web from the phone. I normally say yes.

On the phone, enable the wifi, then hit advanced and change network. Hit menu and then advanced. in the box "this device connects to..." hit all networks. hit ok and go back to the network listing. Find the network you just made enter the details and after a few seconds it should connect.

Hey presto Job done. No additional third party software required, You all look stupid and i'll have my £50 from each of you. Thanks very muchly!!!

The topic of this how to is "How To Create An AD-HOC WiFi Network for use with Remote Desktop and ICS"

Once again thank you and good night. My paypal details will be pm'ed to all those involved.
[HD2 General] leftkats:
hey... still doesn't work... as soon as the ad-hoc is set up, it disables my internet connection... i tried sharing my wireless internet connection but nothing... anyway it doesn't matter because I don't need for now... but thanks for your effort! :D
[HD2 General] M3PH:
If you home network is wifi based then as soon as you put the adapter into ad-hoc mode your internet connection will drop off. I thought the world had figured out wifi sucked for day to day use but apparently not. If you want to share you internet connection in ad-hoc mode you will need to run an ethernet cable to the router from the laptop.
[HD2 General] leftkats:
I had done this setup before on my computer, when it was connected with an ethernet cable and I remember it did work... I was just trying to do the same thing on my laptop and it didn't work... as you say, indeed wifi sucks some times and I only use it for convinience only... thanks though for everything.. :D
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
Router needed?
[HD2 General] leftkats:
No, if you have a local area connection... It won't work with a wireless connection on the main computer...
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
So, if you want to use wireless to distribute from the main computer (and you don't have a router.. like when travelling) and connect with wireless from the HD2, a router is needed, or something like connectify, correct? Good.

Hey there-

I've been searching around on the forums before I asked this and I havent seen anything like it. I might just be retarded. Anyways, anytime that I remove my SD card with the phone on, the phone immediately freezes. Sometimes I have to remove the battery after this, and sometimes itll just reboot. I've also noticed that whenever I plug my phone into the computer, it doesn't recognize that a USB cable is connected (no notification to mount, and no USB debugging) When I try to eject the SD card from the menu, the options to unmount the sd card and to format are both greyed out. I'm not running a2sd, or swap. When I try to boot the phone without my sd card in, it won't get passed the g1 logo? I'm running cm5, anybody have any ideas?? Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aerofluxx:
Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think the cache would go on the SD Card?

(With all saved settings, etc.)

So i think thats your "problem"...

Look what formating your card have, a good guide to find this out

can you find here:

CM Wiki Link

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazhip:
I noticed when I formatted the card I removed the swap partition, and everything acted the same as before. Then I formatted it again and removed my ext partition, and the phone would not boot again. Then I formatted yet again and put the ext partition back on, and it booted just fine. So I guess my phone won't boot or run without an ext partition? I've rooted a few phones from stock to CM5 and I haven't thrown an ext partition on there, so why does mine require it?

I've been using software called Network Statistics. It does exactly what your asking but with a few quirks. It doesn't differentiate WiFi from mobile data so I had to reset the counter when switching from one to the other. The only way I've found to reset the counter is to pull out the battery.

That said, it helped me pinpoint fairly quickly what background app was ripping through my data allowance (foursquare).

Just hope its just waiting few cycles to calibrate or something... :/

[Desire General] Phil750123:

[Desire General] zonkkk:
I have something else to share about battery charging after update. I usually charge my phone from my computer's usb port during the night.

However after the update USB charging is much slower than before. It would take about 4 hours to charge from empty, but since the updates it only charges with a rate of 13% every hour so it takes more than 7 hours to fully charge from empty.

Anybody else noticed this?
