I don't know what I've been doing different lately but ever since I flashed Fresh 0.2 and set my preferred network to CDMA and turn ON my wifi when I have that in range (especially if I have low 3g signal)...or sometimes I program my PRL to prefer verizon towers--all of this has resulted in my battery never dipping below 50% by time I leave work. That is with moderate usage which includes 5-20 txts, 5-15 minutes of voice calls, 10-30 min of web surfing on 3g (I am at work after all), full screen brightness. I work a 10 hour day in building that nearly blocks all 3g signals so I get 1-2 bars tops. I have used it to play mp3's for an entire day (with volume low, it's hooked to a stereo), or through headphones on max for a few hours here and there. never went below 50%.

My battery life has actually been fantastic lately. (I also have an Autokiller running...though I doubt that thing actually does anything useful, the jury is still out on that.)

Now, is it a slick an interface as an ipod? No. Itunes can be hacked to work with it, but it just isn't the same. Though, I ****ing hate itunes with a passion. What's wrong with drag-n-drop? I find the sense music player to be acceptable, though a bit lame. There are plenty of other media players in the market though.

The battery life is not even close to that of an ipod, but it will certainly make it through a day, especially if you put it in airplane mode. I've never tried but I bet I'd barely get down to 75% of a full day of mp3 playing with no radios on....maybe more.

Personally I think carrying around a phone like this AND an ipod to be simply ridiculous and mostly redundant. It does not replace all functionality of an ipod without a little effort. Drag-n-drop music instead of syncing is a pain to some, but far easier to me. you'll have to re-encode video to a mpeg4 or h.263 if you want video...and video will likely hurt the battery a bit with that gigantic screen....and the interface is a bit clunkier than an ipod....but, I'd feel like a tool carrying both around with me.

...but I wouldn't have a need for a dedicated media player, your needs may be different.
[EVO 4G General] Waleezy:
Wow, thanks for giving me some great detailed feedback on that. And thanks to the rest of the people who responded. I wasn't expecting that much of a response.

But yea I loved my 64GB iPod touch. I sold it to get the new Evo, but then I will sell my Nexus One on ebay. And I was either going to use those funds to re-buy my iPod touch or just buy a 32GB SD card and use the music player on my phone. I'm still on the fence about that.

I love the interface of the iPod Touch, if there is any app out there in the Android Market that can match the iPod Touch's interface, someone please let me know. (I use TuneWiki on my N1, if theres a better one, let me know please). I do like the simplicity of dragging and dropping my mp3s onto the SD card w/o syncing & having it show the artwork. Less hassle than syncing to itunes.

The only thing that I do not like is that the volume on the phone (with headphones plugged in) is not as loud as the iPod Touch's volume. If there were a volume hack, thats would be a DEFINATE PLUS. Also, like I said, I use TuneWiki and there aren't any EQs that I could set it to, maybe there might be a program that is better that allows you to set the EQs to your liking?

Overall, I was concerned with battery life. I hope they make a good extended battery that does not make you purchase a big ass backdoor. I wish there was an SD card bigger than 32GB, but unfortunately there isnt (If there is, point me in that direction). Once I get my phone, I am planning on rooting it and using Bugless Pete's ROM. Hopefully I get some good battery life on it though...
[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
Well, I came from using an LG Lotus as a mp3 player and that had pitiful volume level...this is on par with my samsung moment, which compared to my Lotus is WAY louder. It's loud enough to overload my car stereo, home stereo and work stereo, so I keep it 2/3rd turned down so it doesn't sound like crap.

...it gets far louder in my headphones than I could ever need it, and I've been playing in a punk band for almost 15 years now, my hearing is shot. If it isn't loud enough for you I would recommend some better headphones...or a hearing aid, lol.

and so far as interface is concerned that's up in the air, it's only as good as the app you use and thankfully the android community is growing by the day, so there are tons of media player apps and will likely be tons more, growing in complexity and/or polish with each day.

32gb of music is still a mammoth amount of music, and when 64gb micro-sd cards come out I'm sure we can support it, if not out of the box then a simple update will likely change that.

I'm sure the EQ thing will be addressed shortly...and if batterly life is that much of a concern you can turn the screen brightness all the way down, disable background data and syncing, put it in airplane mode if you have no concern for communcations (this will likely make it last for days, however it's unpractical for most).

Though I think most of the credit for my recent battery life boost goes to the Fresh rom. In the thread I found it in people complained of worse battery life, but I think that might have been the battery memory just leveling out or something like that...I ignored it as the battery life is always less than thrilling, so I just kept it charging when I had time to do so...and now I only charge it right before bed (around midnight) and it goes from when I wake up (4:15am ish) till bedtime again (midnight ish) and has yet to dip into the yellow...regardless of how much I use it with the screen brightness maxed out (though I keep GPS off unless I need, well, GPS...wifi is on if I have availability...or forget to turn it off...hasn't been an issue).

YMMV, as always, but, I'd say you'd probably be pretty happy after adjusting to the "mere" 32gb of storage, different interface and need to buy some decent (or maybe less power hungry) headphones.

Just have a charger wherever you go in case of emergency. Now you've only got one device in your pocket.
[EVO 4G General] Waleezy:
Thank you for your input.

When I had my 64GB iPod Touch. It was only half way full, like about 31GB, but many of the albums I put on there, I did not like. I just put them on there because I use my iPod in my car alot, so my friends can choose what they would like to listen to, even if I didn't like it. That might change now lol.

I've been searching around and found an app called bTunes. It looks almost exactly like an iPod Touch's interface. I'm quite impressed, but they still need to polish it out a little more to get it to look as good as the Touch.

As far as the volume goes, im a huge music lover. I am a rapper/producer, love listening to my music loud and listening on my N1, the volume is up to par like on the iPod Touch. Like I said, if they release a voume hack for the EVO, I might be sold!

And also, I never had a car charger for my phone, so I guess that would be something that I should look into once I receive my Evo. Thanks again!
[EVO 4G General] r3daction:
I strictly used my ipod to play music so the interface, games and apps were secondary. Carrying both around for me seemed silly but I understand the battery life concerns for others. I work at a desk and power is always near by. Doubletwist is a free app that syncs your itunes with your android. It also converts video to work on your android. It takes some time but it does do the job. My mogul had a special port that was used for headphones and was a pain to use a dongle to connect headphones. I see that they have done away with that and made it alot easier.

You CAN drag and drop your music to the phone. As Itunes will convert your aac music to mp3. Battery life is what it is. Prepare for it or carry two devices. I have a zune 30gb and an ipod touch 8gb. There were some conveniences you won't have like buying things from the Store, ultimately you would still want to sync with your home machine. I only buy when I'm at home though.

Hi, sometimes i'll find the phone with the "no service" message and i've to turn off-on it. After this it starts to work fine again.

Maybe is a radio rom problem (4.49.25.91)?

It is likely a Radio ROM issue.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguyenxh:
Hi,

I have tried to root my G1 phone. After loading HardSPL, my phone hangs up at the start up screen: G1 text at top and T-Mobile at bottom.

I have tried both combinations: Camera + Power button, Home + Power button. But it does no go to bootloader mode.

I am very worried that my phone could be broken?

I still have warranty with T-Mobile. Will they provide warranty in this case?

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
This definately sounds like a brick. If you still have the warranty tell them that your phone decided to download the DMD64 update while you were low on battery and that now you have a pretty looking brick.

If you have any knowledge of what a JTAG is then look into its thread in development but I'm afraid that it's probably too advanced for most users.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguyenxh:
I have hoped there could be a solution. I will go to T-Mobile then.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a Vodafone UK TP2 with € and £ symbols on E and R keys. I am using a Valkyrie rom. But the € and £ don't work. Haven't worked for ages but I was wondering does anyone have a solution?

Is there a cab or reg setting that I can use. I say on the TOMUS keyb thread about taking a folder from an original rom.

This one HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD Does anyone have this for Vodafone UK TP2's?

Hi guys n gals

Was hoping someone here with an Orange Desire could give me the correct settings to get a Hotmail account set up in the HTC Mail app?

The following settings worked perfectly on my Vodafone Desire, but don't work on my friend's Orange Desire.

I've found a couple of places on the net that suggest changing outgoing port to 587 or 2525, but having spent a lot of time checking and double-checking I'm a bit hacked off trying random configs, and hope someone who actually has it working can give me their settings, please?

Thanks!

Incoming:

Protocol - pop

put email address in and user name put email address in again

put in password

pop server - pop3.live.com

security type - SSL port 995

Outgoing:

tick log in required

put email address in as username

put in password

smtp server - smtp.live.com

security type - TLS

server port - 25
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
I got a Orange desire but Im running Froyo ROM with those settings (587 TLS for outgoing) and it works fine. They also worked on Pays Bravesoul 2.1 ROM.
[Desire General] setspeed:
OK, Nekromantik we'll give that a try, thanks :-)

Anyone else confirm these are their settings too on Orange Desires?
[Desire General] setspeed:
My friend has tried Nekromantik's settings, but no joy :-(

Anyone else on a standard Orange ROM got Hotmail working?
[Desire General] setspeed:
Incidentally, I've tried setting his Hotmail account up on my phone using TLS and 587 on the outgoing port, and get the same result as him - it doesn't throw back any errors when completing, but when you try and look at his emails there is just one in there (which is not the case with his email box).

And the email in there is timed/dated from the moment you finished setting up the account on the phone, and says it's from Windows Live Hotmail Team, and the content of it is just "This is an old news letter and has expired".

Think this might indicate some sort of problem with Hotmail rather than his phone?

The only other difference between his and my Hotmail accounts is mine is a brand new Hotmail.com account (that I only created to test and help him set his up), and his is an older Hotmail.co.uk account that he's had for a number of years...
[Desire General] jedininja666:
Hey guys, I've installed the voice search 2.1 apk and it's working fine, but today I decided to see if I could voice dial, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get it working. Everything I say simply ends up a google search. If I long press the Search button while on the Home screen to bring up Voice Search, then say, for example, "Call Dad Mobile", all it does is do a Google Web Search for those exact words...I can't get it to actually dial!!

What am I doing wrong??? I also tried, "Open Calendar", and surprise surprise, it did a web search for those words. Nothing is working!!!
[Desire General] Fon22:
When you hold down the magnifying glass and say call someone, and it provides you with a google search, rather than actually calling someone.....

The problem is you have the wrong voice keyboard installed.

You were probably and early adopter of the device and installed the first one you found in a thread on here.

I had the same problem, and deleted the keyboard, installed a later one, and now it works.

Fon22
[Desire General] al89nut:
And where is the later one?
[Desire General] jedininja666:
Do you mean Voice Search app or Voice Keyboard? I'm using Jonas' v27 HTC IME mod as my keyboard (created from the online skin generator).

If you mean Voice Search, I'm using Voice Search 2.1 apk, that I got from another website. Should I replace this with the one on the market place?
[Desire General] JohnSteveDoe:
I'm running Jonas' v27 too, and I think the 2.1 voice APK (didn't install it separately, came with the MCR FroYo ROM). Works a charm for me (though only for some names, such as Adam Green, as most of my contacts have Eastern European names :P).
[Desire General] jedininja666:
Just tried replacing Voice Search with the one on the market place, and it's still doing exactly the same! I can use it for entering text, but NO voice commands work, it always defaults to doing a web search! What am I doing wrong? I'm running stock rooted 1.21 firmware, no modifications (apart for Jonas' keyboard).
[Desire General] jedininja666:
Hmm....I think I may have just figured something out...can someone on here run a test for me? I need someone to check in People and see if their contacts are set to "Google" or "Phone". I have all but one of mine set to "Phone", but it seems that the one I have designated by accident as a Google contact is the only one that voice dialing works with...is this because, for example, Google actually searches your online contacts only, rather than the contacts saved exclusively on your phone?

Also, it still doesn't recognise the "Open" command...can someone also test that out for me?
[Desire General] JohnSteveDoe:
I wish I could help you.. seems all my contacts are Google contacts. I even made a new one, and he's still a Google contact :/

And I never heard of Open X commands working. Open Mail, Calendar, Messaging all point me to a google search, so it understood what I said.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randy Malkoski:
Hello, (and I apologize if I didn't search enough, or if I posted in the wrong place),

Am currently running Froyo on my N1 and really liking it. Flash is really nice to see! Though not essential, it is neat to see the "whole" internet on a mobile platform for the first time (coming from BB, WM & an iPhone 3gs). As well, it is nice to just watch videos and stream podcasts in the browser sometimes.

In any case, I've never been able to access the web through the browser on Froyo (though facebook, email, market, etc work fine). Wifi works fine, but I can't connect with the browser through 3G/HSPA.

In the process of upgrading to Froyo, I flashed a different recovery image, thus have no access to nandroid (I was running CM 5.07? before with Amon's RA recovery image).

I tried to re-flash the RA recovery image, reasoning that I could do a nandroid backup of my Froyo setup (I do like it) and switch back and forth to my CM setup. I was able to flash the RA recovery no problem, but couldn't boot to it (pressing trackball and power, then scrolling to recovery only got me to the caution sign and robot graphic).

Am I doing anything wrong? Is there another recovery image that will allow me to make a nandroid backup and access the ones I have? :o

Thanks so much in advance,

Randy
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randy Malkoski:
Hmmm... now market apps won't re-download...

I managed to get the RA recovery back on, and am back on CM (yay!) :)

Only thing is, now none of my Market Apps will update, and I can't seem to download any new ones.

I remember seeing some posts about market issues when downgrading from Froyo, guess I'll search. :p

If anyone has any insight in the meantime though... :rolleyes:

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the kernel or radio that would have been updated when going to Froyo. Don't know much about those things, guess I'll do some research.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Did you downgrade the radio?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randy Malkoski:
I didn't downgrade the radio, ended up re-installing CM and setting everything up from scratch (which wasn't a bad thing, was getting a little untidy :) ).

Market is working fine now.

Though one problem I still have (and have had with every ROM I've used other than stock - Modaco's Sense, several versions of CM and the Froyo leaked ROM (though not the most recent one) is wfif vs 3g/HSDPA. On all of the ROM's save Froyo, I have been unable to connect with the browser on wifi (though syncing, facebook, feedr, etc. all worked fine). On Froyo it was the opposite; I could only connect via the browser on wifi, but everything else worked fine on 3g/HSDPA.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the Kernel or radio, two things I know little about. I realize that this thread is not the best place to ask about these, and that I should do some research first :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
This fix from the HD2 TMOUS_1024 section appears to allow Telstra users to finally use HSPL2.

Thanks to bgcfb - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6855002&postcount=1 and to samsamuel for pointing this out ;).

Although this fix is for the TMOUS device, it has been confirmed to work on a Telstra device by tvailment and using HSPL2 he was able to load 1.66.hspl - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6872412&postcount=1866

Step1: Create a text file named ModelIDCheckBypass.txt and save it to C:\

Step2: Edit the text file to contain the following entry - PB81110

Step3: Save file and set as Read Only

Step4: Run HSPL2

This has now been confirmed to work by a few more users (see below)

PS! I'm only referencing this fix here as I know many Telstra users want to be able to use HSPL2 and have not been able to. I take no responsibility for anything that may go wrong with your device as a result of bypassing the modelid check within HSPL2 - so use at your own risk.

Dear ClydeB1,

I know you have been great on the Board. I did try what've been said on creating ModelIDCheckBypass.txt and so on.

When I run HSPL2_RUN, it still give me Err 0000004, Bad Model ID, etc.

Any advice?
