Nothing runs in the background, of course it idles better than other smart phones. Apple have super secret battery technology/battery saving drivers.
[EVO 4G General] baiatul:
Sprint battery saving sheet

I picked up a 3 page photocopied document at a Sprint center. 3 pages of applications you should disable in order to save battery. Turn off WiFi, turn off GPS, turn off Amazon MP3 market, which cannot be done because it comes back after 5 minutes.

They are almost telling you to turn off the phone, so you can see how many hours the battery will last!!!!!

Turn it off, and the battery will last many, many hours!!!!
[EVO 4G General] dmoses1969:
I have also had several other Android phones. HTC Hero original, HTC Desire and MOTO Droid..

They all had issues with making it all day without using some kind of software or hack or having to shut off features to get them to last all day.

Put the iPhone OS in EVO and look out, they couldn't build enough of them.
[EVO 4G General] dsjr2006:
Yea because the iPad has tons of issues.......? Oh wait, it doesn't. Just like the original iPhone had tons of issues too huh? I like Android, but I'm fed up with HTC hardware, the other manufacturers can't get on the train fast enough.
[EVO 4G General] roybotnik:
Damn right. I have an iPad and have yet to have a single problem with it. People trying to justify the EVOs problems just give HTC an excuse to keep making low quality stuff. I paid $200 for this and signed a contract for 2 years just to get it. I shouldn't have to worry about battery covers not fitting, framerates being limited, HTC sense being terrible buggy software, screens coming apart, etc.
[EVO 4G General] jenzo:
EVO battery life is FAR superior to my 3GS. i dont have to charge until the 2nd day after full charge. that is of course after i removed all the sprint and amazon crap. this phone is hands down superior to the iphone 3GS. ATT takes the iphone from a great device to a iPod touch that sometimes works as a phone. haven't dropped a single call! also 4G just "started" working for me in LA which is awesome. unfortunately I noticed a huge hit on battery with 4G... i disable it when not using it or i go down so fast i can see the battery losing juice right before my eyes.

i have an iPad 3g and there are certainly issues. my email address got stolen. i know its att's fault but apple chose them so i hold them partially responsible too. wifi is buggy at best for enterprise networks which is bumming people out on our campus. the lack of support for flash is flat out ridiculous for a device that claims to provide a full web experience. couple that with att downsampling just about everything they can over 3g and you start to get fed up.

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows where to get all the Free apps for WM 6.5....I know of the windows marketplace but it really isn't very good. Maybe there is a third party app store for WM out there or something?

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Diamond CDMA] justinx989:
I too have been thinking about getting some apps. The ones in ther verizon store cost a ton. I am thinking about trying to find something to chat on facebook and update my status, perhaps even twitter without having to go onto the net. I can already use yahoo messenger and MSN messenger without net service. So i bet there are some out there for us.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] talontsi07:
Just use google and you will find lots of sites, i use http://www.1800pocketpc.com/ the most tho.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trill12:
Just finished rooting my g1. I was installing the new radio and the phone WAS KNOCKED OFF THE DESK. Battery flew out. Now I get nothing on the screen, power button does nothing. Ive tried every bootup option but the phone does nothing.

Is it bricked?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Sorry, it's a brick. Time for N1.

Edit: I did not read it right. You say that phone does not respond to any button presses? Try leaving it on the charger for few hours (for the hell of it) If it does not do anything after that... you've got a brick. And don't get your hopes up anyways... there's 95% chance that it can't be revived.

Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trill12:
Yeah, its nonresponsive. No keys work or anything.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
This is another change I ended up with by accident, when working on the text-less icons for the app drawer. This is based off of Fresh 2.1.2, but should work with any Sprint based 2.1 ROM.

I originally discarded it, but thought it might be cool to, in addition to changing the color of the app drawer & add shortcuts background from solid black to some other color (gray in this mod), to also make the background semi-transparent, so that your wallpaper shows through, and this is the end product.

I will be eventually.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] radxcoresteven:
This looks pretty cool, will be trying it tomorrow.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Heaterz16:
I like it because it is different - what Roms will it run on?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
This should work on most Sprint-based ROMs.

It is really starting to grow on me. Here's an example using a photo type wallpaper background where you get a better sense for the "transparent factor".

It is something, I think, that looks better in real-life, as opposed to screen captures. I'll probably post a MetaMorph tomorrow.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] raphifix:
I know this is off-topic, but how did you get the inverted notification bar? I've searched everywhere for a flashable update/MM for it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
It's right under your nose. Check the link in my sig, lol.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
First post has been updated with MetaMorph control files for applying this change.

It has really grown on me and I am liking it very much. It is not too dissimilar to the semi-transparent notification menu we've grown accustomed to. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.

As mentioned above, I think it looks really nice when you have a photo style wallpaper.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Tibedabeeto:
Added this Mod!!! I have been looking for a transparent app background for a while. You also went the extra distance and did the same thing to the shortcuts background. Just wanted to say thank you for this and it worked for fresh 2.0d. The only thing that I had to do is re-add all the widgets on my screen after the update. Thanks man keep the updates coming! :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Glad you like it. I've grown quite fond of this after having it on my phone for a few days.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] DiMa1720:
Great MOD...THanks!!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
Hope u don't mind but I added this to my rom but changed the color to blue instead of gray
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Of course I don't mind. I put it out for other to use / incorporate as they wish.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrinehart93:
Mmm... reminds me of my Palm Pre. I like it :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Dj21o:
does this mod change anything else besides the app drawer? it seems like whenever i use a metamorph mod it changes a lot more lol.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
The whole point of a properly done MM is to only change the specific files necessary to apply the mod.

A flashable zip will change more than you desire, a MM should not.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gmramirez1973:
Thank you it looks good. Any way it can be made fully transparent or it has to be semi-tranparent. Thanks. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] hero32:
hey man can you help me out on making my app drawer tansparent this one here comes up white for some reason thanks in advance for all the great work

Now that the NAND is unlocked, we can do the normal things we're used to with write access.. However that doesn't change that I and many other XDA users are complete dumbasses..

MY QUESTION is, are morphs designed for 'metamorph' by stericson, for the Nexus1 compatible with sense and EVO? TIA

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustinLoe:
the ANSWER IS NO.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Plasmamuffins:
I've only seen one other post for this battery fix, and its not all that popular and also the ppcgeeks download no longer works, so I will be incuding the file in this post.

Basically, someone came up with a battery fix for xdandroid, and it no longer stops at 70%, it goes all the way to 100% and is much more accurate. The only thing is, it kills wifi, but I don't use it so it doesn't bother me.

All you have to do is delete the zImage file you currently have, and copy and paste this file, and run android and your set :)

(Uhm, for some reason uploads are currently not working, so I will attempt to re-uploade the zImage tomorrow. I only posted this so I don't have to rewrite it -.-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] JackalMan:
I tried the fix. The battery meter is indeed more accurate, but the system is not so stable as before.

With 06/01 version, I have never met dead status or restart. However, with this battery fix. I have 3 times in 5days.

take your own risk to try. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Plasmamuffins:
Hmm...I haven't had that problem, my phones been running android for a week straight without problems xD

[General Questions and Answers] Terrarist:
For a while now my Portable Internet Explorer mobile or QuickGPS won't connect. I thought only the QuickGPS was the problem but then someone on the forum indicated that I check out iexplore.exe and lo and behold it also wasn't connecting. Not with wifi, gprs or even activesync. I'm loath to try a hard reset but I really want them to work (especially the quickgps).

Am using an original Polaris windows 6.1 rom.

Radio 1.58.26.20
[General Questions and Answers] Terrarist:
The actual error says, "The address is not valid. Check the address and try again."

This occurs whether I'm connected with Activesync, wifi or EDGE/3G/GPRS. As a result, my QuickGPS won't connect either. HELP!
[General Questions and Answers] Terrarist:
Fiddling around in AdvancedConfig has brought my Internet Explorer back into working status but am not getting the same luck with QuickGPS updates.

Am still getting "Connection failed. Please try again." So am trying to find a good guide on what to do to fix it but the forum isn't very forthcoming.

(BTW am replying over and over so that my efforts can be a guiding light for others, and hopefully I'll get a reply that will help me finish this.)
[General Questions and Answers] Badwolve1:
Did you sync it to a PC with proxies? the phone will automatticly use them, if you did, try disabling them

How I go about that? Cuz I sync it to my PC alot but am not sure if I sue proxies.
[General Questions and Answers] Badwolve1:
"Start, Control Panel, Internet Options, Lan Settings" if the boxes are filled in, you use Proxies

Nope. And let me reiterate, I've got Portable Internet Explorer working again but QuickGPS still isn't.

THIS IS PART 2 OF A 2 PART GUIDE TO ROOTING THE EVO AND UNLOCKING NAND PROTECTION. YOU MUST FOLLOW THE STEPS IN THE PART 1 OF ROOTING TO BE ABLE TO PROCEED WITH THIS GUIDE. IF YOU HAVENT ROOTED USING MY METHOD, THEN FOLLOW THE LINK BELOW AND DO SO.

[TUTORIAL] How To Root The HTC EVO ~ Part-1 \0/

THANX:

- keishou (for the rooted build. without it none of this would be possible)

- Behnaam (my good friend and awesome dev. he tip me off on how to downgrade to older main versions)

- maejrep (for compiling us a recovery from Amon's source)

- Flipz (for being awesome :P)

- Stericson (for hosting the files for me)

- Amon RA (for his awesome recovery source on github that we used)

INTRODUCTION:

This process will allow you to unlock Nand protection on all partitions at all times via Engineering SPL. Without going into details and driving more confusion, lets get started. :D

FILES NEEDED:

- PC36IMG.zip ~> mirror-1

PC36IMG.zip md5sum~ fe8aba99893c766b8c4fd0a2734e4738

- View attachment 342668

- View attachment 342667

- recovery.img ~> mirror-1

STEP 1~NANDROID BACKUP:

- go into the recovery provided in the PART 1 root method and do a nandroid backup before u begin this. we will use this nandroid at the end of this tutorial to get u back where u were.

STEP 2~FLASHING MTD PARTITION TO ENABLE DOWNGRADE:

- down;oad all files posted above

- unzip the flash_image.zip and the mtd-eng.zip

- put the flash_image and mtd-eng.img on the root of your sdcard

- go into shell on ur pc and do:

adb shell
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

- this should only take a second or two

- now put the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard

- power off the phone

STEP 3~FLASHING ENG BUILD:

- hold volume down + power to boot into hboot

- it should now find and verify the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard. itll show a blue status bar on the top right of the screen.

- after a minute or so it will ask u if u wanna flash SAY YES

- affter it flashes the PC36IMG.zip it will ask if you wanna reboot. SAY YES

- once booted into Android put the recovery.img linked above on the root of you sdcard

- on your PC open a shell again and do:

adb shell
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery

- you should now be in recovery mode

- do a wipe of data and dalvik cache

- navigate to nandroid restore and restore the previous rom setup

- come here to the forum, get and flash the latest radio

- enjoy... you can now reboot into recovery, write to system and other partitions while in Android. Also you now have a Engineering SPL so you can fastboot and much more.

SCROLL DOWN TO SECOND POST FOR FAQ ;)

Common Mistakes / Questions

Problem:

How to fix:

Here's a mirror, thanks to lewi3069.

----------------------------------------------------

Error:

adb shell
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
cat: can't open ' /sdcard/flash_image' : No such file or directory

How to fix:

Your sdcard isn't mounted properly. You can use ADB to push the files:

adb push /path/to/flash_image /sdcard/flash_image
adb push /path/to/mtd-eng.img /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

or try to mount the card: (*note, this command only works from recovery. If you are inside the android OS you have to use adb remount. This is also how you test system r/w access, which is what this whole process gives you :)

adb shell mount /sdcard

mtd: erase failure at 0x00060000 (I/O error)
mtd: erase failure at 0x00060000 (I/O error)

(note: probably a lot longer than that)

How to fix:

You are using the wrong PC36IMG.zip file. Its not the same one from part one. Download the file listed in Toast's post, above.

----------------------------------------------------

Error:

Something about "Main version is older" ...not sure of exact syntax

How to fix:

You need to redo the mtd-eng.img step. Check and make sure you didn't get the sdcard mounting error.

----------------------------------------------------

Question:

Answer:

Sure. Alternatively, you can just throw them into a folder named whatever you want (example folder name: "files for rooting") and leave them there in case you need the later! Totally up to you, but yes they are safe to remove.

----------------------------------------------------

Question:

Answer:

Yep. The advantage of restoring your nandroid is I believe you get your radio back. Maybe not. It takes like 3 seconds to restore your radio anyway. I just flashed my ROM back over clean and used Titanium Backup which I strongly recommend to restore all my apps.

are there any college in us that are free?
[Off-topic] PoisonWolf:
I don't know about free, but often times, there is financial aid, and scholarships.

Nothing is free in this world. Everything is paid for one way or the other.
[Off-topic] galaxys:
Never heard of one unless it & you have a scholarship sponsor.

Yup.......
[Off-topic] djteotancolis:
is there anything like cheaper than 4000...i cant get financial aid..i'm on a f1 visa
[Off-topic] PoisonWolf:
Then look for scholarships or grants. You'd be surprised to find how many weird grants there are out there.

4000 for a semester? Or for the whole year? Is this undergraduate or graduate?

It depends on a lot of things. I'm not certain if community colleges deal with I-20s and stuff. It's usually the bigger and more expensive colleges that'll deal with SEVIS, I-20, etc.
[Off-topic] djteotancolis:
thanx ya i went to the colleges today m getting two thousand sponsership...need to come up with two more thousan now
[Off-topic] fjnty5:
Community College is usually a fraction of the cost of a normal University

example: the college i go to charges $312 a credit hour and i usually take 12-18 depending on what i need for semester

and the community college near me charges around $82 a credit hour so it cuts the cost by almost 3/4.

Look into community colleges as a way to get more budget friendly education or take out student loans, get government grants..etc...

best of luck mate

Ya that's where I have applied no..can't apply for a grant as not a citizen well I m savin up now tho
