yeah, ive had these same exact issues. its so annoying. its just not worth charging via PC usb any more
[Desire General] jannen:
The GTalk issue is out there again, not sure if its the culprit? I have unchecked the 'automatically sign in' and logged out, but it keeps turning on and logging me in by itself. Im sure its one of the reasons for the battery drain. Anyone else with this?

This morning it dropped from 100% to 88% in less than two hours without really doing anything with the phone... :(
[Desire General] gyro11:
this whole 'stopping charging till 90% once its reached 100%' issue is rediculous. I cant believe that HTC have added this to the update (cos it didnt happen before) for a phone where users rarely get a days usage out of the phone battery anyway! Now you even stand the chance of starting the day with 10% less charge than you should....rediculous!

if its something they want to include then thats fine, but at least give us the option of turning it off
[Desire General] topcaser:
This is from a german forum:

Let the phone empty the battery until it switch off for its own. Switch on again and do a new boot until the phone is switch off again. When switched off charge the battery completely with the original charger.

... and the 90% issue is gone
[Desire General] jannen:
I have a second battery I never used before. Im going to put it to charge tonight - and let it do few complete full/drained cycles. Hope works ok.

Wonder if everyone else has the persistent GTalk on? I dont want it!! Arghhhhh....
[Desire General] zahari:
I have the same issue with mine Desire after updating last week,just get the green light for a full charge and after a few minutes I check my battery widget and lol 10 % are gone.Any chances for fixing that issue?I would appreciate if anyone give a helpful advice.thanx in advance.cheers
[Desire General] gyro11:
look up at post #8 and give that a try. Thats what im gonna do and im sure people will report back on here after theyve tried it to see if it works
[Desire General] gyro11:
this didnt work with me...still have the 90% issue

The same here...
[Desire General] nelimbg:
do we have new info about this issue ?
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Is this such a huge issue then? I mean, sure you want it to show the correct %. But does it affect the total duration in any way?

The 10% can eventually level out when being used. I wonder if the device is at e.g. 30% it should actually be 40% in this case, or the 30% is actually quite accurate.

The % is an estimate to give a better representation how much there is left rather than just following the voltage drop. But in the end it will most probably be the voltage that makes the device decide whether or not the battery is empty.
[Desire General] nelimbg:
Don't be silly, ofcourse this is a huge issue, did u ever seen such a issue on any other device, even devices of 5$ dont have this strange behavior.

Phone from such class to have such a problem, this is annoying.

And rather iPhone4 signal strenth issue i think here problem is software and it will be fixed
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Comon, a 'huge issue'?! It's merely some % figure that's not shown correctly.

Oh well, I guess it's a compliment for the Desire then.. if 10% off is a huge issue, the rest can't be so bad! :D

Devices of $5 are really bad in showing correct percentages really. One part of the % goes fast, other slow and then suddenly fast again (you know, 1 out of 3 blocks left but flat battery in no-time, while the second block lasted hours and hours). Just because a device says it's 100% loaded, it doesn't mean it's actually correct.

That's why I wondered: Does it actually affect battery performance. If it does, then (and only then) you can call it a 'huge issue'. Otherwise I would just call it a minor annoyance. But obviously stuff like this might be personal eh! :D

But I'm quite convinced as well this is a software problem and can be fixed. I just don't think it will be very high on the HTC priority list :p
[Desire General] nelimbg:
Ok, i agree its minor annoyance, but anyway it's annoying at least to me, you are right, this percentage may be fake, but for me it will be better if they show me real battery load :)

cheers ;)

ps. i saw in your signature u r 1.15.405.4 - do u have this behavior on it ? :)
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Well, the Desire is gone to be replaced now. But I didn't have this problem with my old Desire. Then that one got replaced (because HTC scratched it), and the new one did have this problem.

But now the Desire is off again because of weird touchscreen problem, so lets see how the new one holds up :D
[General Questions and Answers] TT1986:
Hi,

I need a bit of help making up my mind. The HTC Legend fits my budget quite nicely, and I like it. I've played with both the Legend and the Desire, and while I do think the Desire is better, I'm quite happy with the Legend at the price I'm getting it at.

My only question is this - assuming HTC never releases Froyo for the Legend (and this seems to be likely), would it be possible and advisable to root it and put Froyo on it? If yes, my decision becomes so much easier.

I'm asking this because it'll be disappointing buying a fairly new phone and seeing it not supported at all in the future.

Thanks all.
[General Questions and Answers] ben_duder:
It's definitely possible to root the Legend and Froyo can technically be ported to any Android device with the right know-how, so really it's a matter of time before someone does.

I think there will be an official Froyo update for the Legend - it's not that old and the Hero is still going to get Eclair despite its age (although it is a more popular phone).

This article seems to indicate that an update is coming soon although it's weirdly worded and it makes it sound like it's an Eclair update coming to the Desire and the Legend - which is what's already on there. Hopefully it's not just a minor patch.

If HTC go ahead an release an official update you can expect Sense, updated drivers and thereby better use of the hardware than custom ROMs.
[General Questions and Answers] TT1986:
Thank you for that. I'm in Australia and there's a good chance that we might get the Nexus One end of June. I've decided to wait for that and compare the plans between the N1 and Legend before committing. If the N1 is much more expensive, I'll get the Legend immediately.

On a separate note I can't wait until Google makes updating phones a bit more straightforward, or forces HTC to pull their socks up when it comes to passing on the updates to consumers.

Thanks again.

I remember some users were looking for a minimal generic Android Build?

If any of you need something like this I have a compiled 2.1 eclair base/minimal generic laying here on my disk.

I am synchronizing the Desire's "PC calendar" with MS Outlook through HTC Sync.

However i see, that the custom ROMs based on Froyo (Android 2.2) don't include HTC Sync, as they are ported from Nexus One.

Is there any alternative solution for syncing the Android calendar directly with MS Outlook ?

For security reasons (my company doesn't like to post internal, including confidental , data on Google and making it in fact a public information) i can't use these methods:

- sync Outlook calendar with Google calendar directly through internet

- use Google calendar instead of Outlook calendar

- sync Desire calendar directly with Exchange server

Does anybody else have this issue ?

I don't understand why Google hasn't already addressed this issue. May be they don't wont to see the Android in corporate environment ?
[Desire General] Yanluk:
In your situation I don't think so.
[Desire General] Joefried:
I had a problem syncing with Outlook but discovered by using Google calendar you can skip the outlook sync and have your calendar whenever you are when you log on,

[Desire General] nsm:
How about this:

http://www.markspace.com/products/android/missing-sync-android.html
[Desire General] clovek1:
As i wrote, i need to synchronize with the Outlook calendar in my work.

I can't really force may company (including all the 50.000 employees worldwide) to use Google calendar instead of Outlook calendar (MS Exchange).

There is no way to sync the Google calendar with my Outlook calendar, for security reasons (confidential data is sent in the Outlook invitations). The whole Google calendar is blocked in my company and i can't even connect the server (for security reasons).
[Desire General] clovek1:
This looks veeery interesting.

It looks even better than i have expected.
[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:
The stock mail app has native Exchange support - or you can use Touchdown which is more feature rich. Google doesn't need to be involved - it's a secure (SSL) connection between your phone and your company's Exchange server.
[Desire General] clovek1:
As I mentioned before, the company Exchange policy doesn't allow direct syncing. For some reason only the access over https://owa.company.com/... is working.

Direct access from Android to OWA Exchange server doesn't work (some ambiguous error appears, probably the Exchange server prohibits this kind of connections at all).
[Desire General] alwayslearning:
exchange 2010

I am using exchange 2010, my email syncs, my contacts syncs, but my calendar will not sync, only i get is an error message saying it did not sync. Anyone have this issue :confused:

I have a Telstra on AT&T in USA
[Desire General] clovek1:
how do you sync ? directly with exchange, with Outlook, through Gmail ?
[Desire General] alwayslearning:
with exchange 2010.

I just flashed Froyo today and it works with 2010, all three, mail, contacts and calendar. But not tasks :(

I am happy to have the calendar back.
[Desire General] clovek1:
I have tried Exchange for Android 2.0/ 2.1 from NitroDesk, Inc. and after much struggle it was able to detect correct settings for my corporate Exchange.

Apperently i can sync all the folders now (i am not completely sure, as i have played with this soft only for few hours), read email, sync calendar, private folders, notes etc.

It's only a 30 day trial, i hope the official Froyo 2.2 from HTC will come before the trial period expires and then i could use the updated Mail application with extended Exchange capabilities delivered by default in Android.
[Desire General] oldyuk:
Hallo,

I am also a newcomer to Desire HTC Sync/outlook 2003. I have downloaded the latest htc version and installed. Everything working fine (basic calender and contacts) except:

1. The contacts are synced on the prename instead of the lastname, although in outlook on last name.

2. I have in the contacts submenus. How do I sync those?

Could somebody help me?
[Desire General] Flaggie:
Regarding your first point I think when you are in your contact list and you press menu then settings you can change that (don't have my phone at the moment so can't check it on mine)
[Desire General] oldyuk:
I have looked everywhere. I am not able to find in the menu the possibility to rearrange the sorting on lastname. This is perhaps somewhere in the general setup.

Can someone help me?

By the way, I purchased The missing sync. But this is to be discussed in a completely separate thread.
[Desire General] alwayslearning:
I use outlook 2010, (it's great) and I am not having this issue, the only place I can change this setting is not in my phone but in outlook 2010, go to file>Options>Contacts>names and filing>default "File As" make sure is says last,first

hope this helps
[Desire General] oldyuk:
I am using Outlook 2003. The file is set as you have described. All my contacts are arranged in Outlook on the last name.

Perhaps there is really no way to get this arranged in Desire/HTC Sync. I could not find anything in the manual concerning this item.

Many thanks for your effort.
[Desire General] Flaggie:
Just got my phone back today, but unfortunatly I'm not able to find the setting anymore. (you can change the display form of names frome first name last name to last name, first name but you can only do that when you edit the contacts name, which is way to much work for all your contacts)
[Desire General] yessir1:
bad experience with missing sync:

forum.androidcentral.com/android-applications/16775-missing-sync-android-evo.html
[Desire General] simontemlar:
Ditto!

Do NOT go for missing sync. Its very unprofessionally run and full of bus.

Ive had the product for about 6 months and they havent been able to fix my issues. Originally I had problems on Xperia X8 in that my contacts were being removed form the PC when synchronising.

Logged the issue with MarkSpace (which by the way appears to be a two man outfit). I would get a reply every so often to say a new version has been released and I should try it. When askign if the new version was actually a fix for my issue i was told no and that I should 'jut try it'. Good job I backed up my outlook data file first as it deleted my contacts again.

Eventually decided to change my phone and now have a different issue; missing sync is preventing google synchronisation. Also the contacts on my phone which were written to the phone from PC do not synchronise if I edit them. Not only that but if I edit a google contact on the phone that too does not synchronise with google.

These people dont seem to care that there are real users in the field with real data. Once again Im told to 'try the new version' - same result. Problem not fixed

Missing sync would have been better of 'Missing' :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4d14n7:
Everyone is releasing ROMs based on Cyanogen's eclair builds and claiming fast fast fast. Am I the only one who is experiencing MAJOR speed issues on any eclair ROM? I have tried a few of them so far and the results are the same. Pretty fast initially, but after a couple days everything comes to a screeching halt. I've tried rebooting, clearing cache, clearing swap, and nothing seems to help. I'll pop my phone open and open messaging and it will take sometimes up to 10 seconds to open. Very misleading for devs to post a ROM calling it crazy fast when it is obviously not.

Maybe I've been spoiled by the speed of some of the donut ROMs I guess... Guess I'll be on donut til I get a new device?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4d14n7:
apps2sd enabled, I run about 40MB free on average. Even if SetCPU is maxed out. It runs decent for the first few days and then goes to crap. Last time I tried SpeedTeam's ROM it bootlooped on first flash over and over, even after wiping, repairing, etc. I'll try it again I suppose.

Probably just spoiled by donuts, but I'll keep trying.

If i finally manage to root and install custom rom, is there a custom rom that supports bluetooth.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Nino9:
yes the new 2.1 roms will support them. if you want sense UI try VillainRom 10 or MoDaCo's 2.1 rom...or you can try the Vanilla Rom if you want a rom without Sense UI.

1.5 did not support file transfer 1.6 onwards did. so as there is a 2.1 you can use that and use bluetooth
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fulanito108:
Hi Devs,

I'm trying to get my android to transparently forward certain domains/IPs to a proxy server automatically.

For this I am trying to use IPTABLES, however the compiled version I can find on the device is not compiled with glibc, but with a reduced version. When trying to use any commands that refers to a specific protocol (TCP) then I get a similar error to:

FIX ME! implement getnetbyaddr() bionic/libc/bionic/stubs.c:366

I been searching a lot for a binary of iptables, that doesn't have this problem but haven't been successful. However applications like wireless tether, droidwall, TOR client seem to work with the reduced iptables, looks like they are issuing simpler commands, I want to run something like:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -s ! 192.168.10.16 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.10.16:8080

I am on a 2.1 ROM btw. Any suggestions on how to achieve selective transparent proxy forwarding o a full version of iptables for android?

Many thanks,

Edited:

BTW, I've just found out that the current iptables version works, it just prints the errors...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
You tried VillainROM 10.2 with ninpo or kendon's kernel? I think they added iptables. Dunno any more than that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fulanito108:
Thanks Pulser, I'm on VillainROM 5.5, I will update to 10 when I can, but is not the problem that I can't find iptables, the problem all the versions I find are not complete, they are compiled with bionic C library.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Talk to ninpo about this, he can maybe help
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kernelzilla:
The bionic library that iptables (and your android setup) was built against is missing getnetbyaddr, it hasn't been implemented yet, neither has getprotobyname, so iptables is very limited right now. I ran into this issue when enabling TOS for my build. It's in bionic/libc/include/netdb.h but needs a stub entry.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fulanito108:
I guess that you can still compile iptables against glibc and link it statically. I am trying to find out if any one might have done this, or knows a workarround :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spiicytuna:
Was there ever an update on this? I am working with someone on trying to get a "full" version of iptables going so we can try and implement qos....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fulanito108:
sorry haven't found it yet, and need it... if you get your hands around it please reply to this post :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
It's not the iptables full version you need, it's the underlying libc that is missing that particular resolver function, as kernelzilla already pointed out above.

Statically linking glibc would probably be an overkill - uclibc or dietlibc would probably be better choice. No idea if any of them implements these particular resolver functions, though.

EDIT: Shiny, after quick check of source code of both, they both *do* implement getnetbyaddr().
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fulanito108:
Thanks Ticho, when I have some time I'll try to setup the dev enviroment to play compiling it...

Hi guys, I would like some info if how your battery fares while using the browser. I took mine off charge, then straight away used the browser for between 5-10 minutes over WiFi. When I checked my battery after this, it was on 90%. Surely losing 10% from just 5 mins browsing isn't right?
