HTC gives us this super elegant solution, and you boneheads still try to find a different less effective way.

It doesn't feel as much like hacking if you're doing it the way they want you to. Totally defeats the point.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
I've been experimenting with several new ROMs and have found in every case that when I install SetCPU (either choosing automatic/HTC Hero profiles) it causes dramatic slowdown on my device to the point where I just can't bear to use it. On some screens it takes 5-10 seconds to load and when I am typing a message it is often an entire WORD behind my pace and constantly trying to catch up - for the record I am no champion speed texter!

With SetCPU uninstalled my device goes back to normal.

I purchased SetCPU last year and have always enjoyed it, but it seems with the new 2.1 ROMs, it causes more bad than good. I was in the sprint store the other day looking at the EVO and I happened to use one of their stock Hero's and the difference in speed between that and mine was STAGGERING.

So is it SetCPU by itself or both it and 2.1 ROMs?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostileenviroment:
Are you using it on an oc'd rom? id not reccomend using a oc tool, manually throttle ot to where you want

this doesnt belong in dev
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notasimpleway:
From what I understand is that you don't even have to use an OC tools such as OC Widget and SetCPU with Toast's kernel. I may have read this wrong so I'd ask someone else. It is built with the On Demand throttling, I believe. Therefore, if you use a 710Mhz one it will scale from it's lowest freq to it's highest when needed. But again I am not sure. Ask someone else. :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benduchi:
Yeah Ive been using the 710 dam ker and I was fine for a week then all of a sudden lock ups and crashes when answering the phone etc I wiped and started over and its good I do want to clock it a bit though so any good recomendations would be great

If i turn on my Touch HD, i see only "smart mobility" and colors ... and freeze! What can i do? A do hard rest - no change :(
[Touch HD General] kareeem:
Did your flash anything to it recently?

Also, take the battery out for some time and then put it back in, see if that gives it life.
[Touch HD General] occcko:
no change :(
[Touch HD General] Don.:
I had this a while back and ended up having to flash my phone.

In my case I think I accidentally selected system files and deleted them while I was clearing out a couple pdfs and other files.
[Desire Accessories] gw0udm:
Hi

I've heard that there is an official car dock coming which will switch the phone into car dock mode. Does anyone have any idea how this might be done? Someone on one of the other forums tried shorting some pins in the usb connector but without success.

Could it be through magnets like some other phones? Does anyone have any ideas about how the phone is signalled which mode it should be in?

I'm using an app to change modes at the moment, but it would be lovely if I could do it all in hardware.

James
[Desire Accessories] tkwan196:
can you tell me what app you use to change modes please? i've been trying to find it for ages now
[Desire Accessories] Exculpo:
I'm still not sure about how the modes are recognized yet, although I know it's done within the USB somehow, there are no magnetic switches in the Desire.

And for the apps, there are a few to choose from.

Nexus - CarHome.apk

EVO- NavPanel.apk

DeskClock.apk (there are a few different ones) for "HomeDock"

And there is an app to launch the 2 different apps manually; DockSimulator.apk.

You should be able to find all of the above in this forum, DockSimulator can be found in the market.
[Desire Accessories] gw0udm:
It's really frustating...

I've had a play around again with the data lines, but no matter what I do with them all I seem to be able to do is trigger PC mode. Some people have said that by wiggling the micro usb they can sometimes trigger the car mode. COuld it be something to do with the 5th pin on the micro usb connector?

I guess we may just have to wait until the official dock launches, and then try to reverse engineer it. I don't really like the look of it, as I don't want a suction mount and I'm very happy with the fixed Brodit cradle.

Using the dock simulator is a good second best, especially in conjunction with the free 'Car Dock' app available from the market. It seems to switch the phone into a mode where it never locks and the backlight is permanently on. It also switches on speakerphone mode by default, although I use a bluetooth kit instead.

Any further thoughts on where to look?

James
[Desire Accessories] stingerpl:
If You use a bluetooth kit I'm sure You can figure out the way to launch car dock mode once paired to Your bluetooth car device. I know for sure, that You can simulate car dock when the phone is charging using Locale.
[Desire Accessories] gw0udm:
As an update, I've found a great app on the market called 'Bluedock' which does exactly this. It triggers car dock mode when connected to a bluetooth headset (you can specify exactly which of the paired devices, so you it only triggers when in the car), and optionally when connected to power. Mine is set up so when it's in the charging cradle, and connected to the handsfree kit, it switches into car dock mode.

Well worth $1! The author also has written a free car dock replacement app also on the market which I'd also really recommend.
[Desire Accessories] JTHM:
Now listed on Clove.co.uk

I haven't checked whether anyone's commented on it already but the official car dock is now listed on Clove

It does state that the NaviPanel is automatically activated when the phone is docked ...for my money it's dead expensive though.
[Desire Accessories] smegger040588:
Still listed as pre order on clove, i am guessing it will come out after the next desire update which will have the navigation software built in.

Wouldn't mind a price drop when it is officially released!

pure speculation tho!:D
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Just a thought I had today, but since the $10 fee did seem to come out of no where, but sometime after they said the 4G would be free at CITA, and since they haven't expressly said it was for the 4G data...

Perhaps, they knew the first batch of phones were going to have the screen problem, as well as other problems, but they found out after they had several thousand/hundred thousand made, thus knowing they were going to have to replace a hell of a lot of phones within a month or two and with this so-called "Prem Data Fee" they could regain some of the money for replacing all the early adopters phones.

I don't have the screen problem...yet, but I'm going to be exchanging mine because the speaker is half blown or something in the earpiece.

Any takers on the idea?
[EVO 4G General] themyst:
Doubt it, but it's definitely an excuse to pad their pockets a bit more, since Sprint has the lowest margins across all post-paid providers.
[EVO 4G General] eck0728:
I was thinking more along the lines of the stupid amount of data we are going to be using on these phones with 4g. on 3g alone i've used 350mb in 3 1/2 days (i love it) Honestly this 3g is really fast, faster than verizon and t-mobile thus far (speed test prove it). I get better signal is area that my verizon phone does, but that might because its a storm 2 (:()
[EVO 4G General] kjones2k1:
Interesting theory, but I think it's a bit far fetched. I truly think the $10 is for unrestricted data usage, which I am thoroughly enjoying.
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
I for one hope they plan to use the extra money to strengthen and expand the 4G coverage.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
It is a little bit far-fetched, but you never know. Last minuet stuff always happens and companies might make drastic measures to compensate themselves.

It was just a thought, especially since they've never actually said the fee was for the data, it's for the phone experience, which directly links it to the phone, if you go by what they say the fee is for.
[EVO 4G General] strung:
why is everybody obsessed with this fee

the reason the fee exists is because the market will bear it.

whether that makes you happy or sad is on you
[EVO 4G General] ap3604:
Strung you are boosting the IQ of the forum with answers like these :)

Lord knows we need all the help we can get since I'm on here bringing us down ;)
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
Probably the same ideology as to why AT&T ditched the unlimited data plan right before or when the iPhone 4 was announced.

Sprint needs customers and since the EVO is going to be one major source of income and/or data usage...they probably decided to implement a fee for unlimited 3G/4G data usage while keeping the unlimited plan available. When you think of Sprint, you immediately think "SIMPLY UNLIMITED EVERYTHING!"

What I say or think really doesn't matter...the $10 fee is mandatory so there is no use in trying to fight it or be sneaky about trying to get out of paying it.
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
I am glad I have this fee and no soft cap. I have used 1GB+ in the last 6 days. I get to laugh at ATTs new customers about their 2GB cap hahahaha.
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
But why? According to AT&T, a majority of its customers wouldn't even come close to the 2GB cap and do not need unlimited data :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
I was always under the assumption for the charge that you can hook the evo up to any computer via usb and use it for internet access.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Well, just an update...

The Sprint store said that my speaker was wacko for sure, and when I checked the other two phones we have tonight, both of their screens are raising up. What find strange is, mine got 10x the usage over the last week than the other two did and mine doesn't have the screen problem...yet.

Anyhow, I guess Sprint will be sending us 3 new phones.
[EVO 4G General] skantman69:
i am rooted using wifi tether and i dont feel the least bit bad for it.. they are going to screw me for an extra 10 bucs a month im going to get my monies worth..... take that sprint.
[EVO 4G General] bigough13:
I plan on returning my Evo tomorrow. I don't care how much data you use, they shouldn't offer a unlimited data plan if they don't like you using unlimited data. I have filed a complaint through the FCC and encourage everyone here to do so as well. This is deceptive advertising, and an unlawful fee. The name of the fee is "premium data plan" but other than the 6 people that live in a 4g network, it is a "right to own the Evo fee". You DON'T have to pay it, you SHOULDN'T be paying it. I am never passionate about anything ever, but this one really puts me over the edge. http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm.
[EVO 4G General] jigglywiggly:
Thank goodness I don't pay it... well not really. 10$ off from the IO conference.
[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
Why did you buy a 4g phone if you don't live in a 4g area?
[EVO 4G General] bigough13:
I got the phone for the hardware, and android. I want to go to T-Mobile for the HD2, but it lacks the 8mp camera, no WiFi tether, and WinMo, yuck. I understand the fee in 4g areas, but they can't justify the fee for any other area. Call/email them, they sound like idiots trying to explain why we're being charged $10. "Rich data experience" (3g network?), "1ghz processor", "YouTube hd", "android operating system" are all the reasons I have gotten. I can provide email proof. The fee is a scam, not premium data.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arozer:
**Disclaimer so that this doesn't get deleted. I looked at all the posts and tried to search, couldn't find any answers and I made this thread HERE because I doubt anyone in "General" would know what I'm talking about. This is more of a development question.**

----------

Ok, I am actually having two problems.

1) Normally when I plug my phone in the computer and choose "disk drive" mode, a screen pops up on my PC titled "Removable Disk (J)" That's actually not the right one because right behind that screen I get another pop-up titled "Removable Disk (K)" and that's actually the one with the folders and everything that I'm supposed to use (the root of the sd card folder.) So I hit cancel on (J) and am on my way using (K).

Well over the weekend, on Friday, I rooted my phone using toast's way and then I went camping without doing ANYTHING else.

Then I come back last night, everything is working fine and I installed ROM Manager on there because I wanted to flash Pete's "BuglessBeast". Since my internet connection in my basement is super slow I decided to just leave it at that and work on it at work today. Well here I am.

Problem: Phone was not connecting to computer. It kept giving me errors and then asked me to Format my card. After about half hour of trying to get it to connect I said "fine.. I'll just format it and factory reset my phone and root all over again and do all this. Well now.. phone is only connecting to (J) drive. (K) never appears.

2) Also, after rooting and finding out that ROM Manager won't work for me I have to manually download the file, I tried to go into recovery mode and every time I selected "sd card: apply update.zip", I keep getting the same error saying "FILE NOT FOUND ON SD CARD".

Any help please?

Am I doing something wrong?

Is there a way to start over, all over again?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecodemonk:
With the problem running (where you can see both disks), right click on "My Computer" and select "manage", then go to "Disk Management" and see if your SD card is partitioned or something. That's very unusual and should only present itself if your SD card is partitioned and it's seeing both partitions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
development is not for posting questions, q and a is for posting questions (hence the name)

you probably built an ext container before (partitioned the card, using one of the recoveries). if you partition the card, they will come up as two disks when you plug the usb in. when you 'repaired' it, it formatted the whole thing into one block. by formatting, you've erased anything you had on it. you'll have to put the files you want back on the card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeykrim:
ive seen quite a few windows users on here name their file update.zip but have hidden file extensions turned on so in reality the name is update.zip.zip which will not work.

if thats not the issue, something sounds very wrong with your microsd card.

not sure why you had two partitions, J and K, but seems to hint at app2sd or had two partitions setup on the microsd card ...

my friend had one go bad on him yesterday, i had never seen it before but perhaps there is something defective.

otherwise, a reformat of the card, should bring it back to new.

Has any one figured out a way to hide apps from the app drawer? I know it's probably going to take more than we have at this point, but was just curious. Maybe a future version of Advanced Launcher.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofyo1:
search ebay?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turboyo:
The touch pro 2 battery kinda serves as one. Its 1500 mAh. I'm getting good battery life as it is stock but I just got a tp2 one on ebay for $10, its OEM and it was local. They might even be cheaper if you get it from Hong Kong or something. Its a bit thicker but fits. Going to strip off the taping on it and see if any plastic can be snipped away to make it fit perfect.

And I havnt looked to far into it but sedio also makes a 1750 mAh for the TP2 that fits under the TP2's stock battery cover. Dont know if its any bigger though physically.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donepate:
I will second the touchpro2 battery. I get about 15% morwe life out of it. If you take sandpaper and round out the top-side edges its fine. Just dont go to deep or you'll trash the battery.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turboyo:
yea I think I killed mine by taking the tape off hehe it did fit better though. It has some metal sheet right under the tape thats like tin and all bent up now.. under that metal is the actuall battery with the tin removed it fit good but I donno if I would want to leave it like that
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambenjamin:
My TP2 battery and 16 gig just came in the mail (along with my desire:) )

Do i just get regular ole sandpaper from the store and then be careful not to go too deep? (twss) I got two so I am not too worried about failing.

As soon as my files copy to the SD I will be giving it a try, maybe ill post it to youtube.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiN39Z:
I took my aunts touch pro 2 battery to test it and it does indeed work but the cover doesnt close enuff on it. I had some ideas... Maybe shave the battery cover from the inside down and bit but it might be too thin since shaving the battery might ruin it. Anyone can show a write up on how to shave the battery down so the battery cover closes properly cause I want to buy the extended slim battery for the td2 since its the same size as the regular.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
I have yet to try this but...

... in searching google, I came across this site : http://bit.ly/af1zvb. They're just offering the stock battery, but you see at the bottom, under "Compatible Models" they list the Eris and Incredible. I almost want to go into a verizon store with my battery and see if they'll let me compare the sizes. Unless anyone knows someone with one of those. Of course it could just be nothing. But, if it is the same size, we could get something like this: http://bit.ly/aAyYeC. They say it works with EVO as well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denrenten:
O hell yes I need to try this
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
Google strikes again... (in a good way)

I wrote down the part number of the battery, which is: 35H00127-04M, and a google search later it looks like it's the same battery as the Eris, Legend, Wildfire and probably a slew of others. I think I'll order that 1750mah on amazon when I get the money.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archie53:
Sedio has an extended life battery for the Incredible that is 1750Mah says it fits in existing space but it is pricy at $49.95, so if it the standard Incredible fits I'm thinking so should this.

I'm new so can't post a link so just search for Seidio.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cswroe:

Is that the Sprint CDMA Hero or the GSM Hero. Both according to HTC are different.

EDIT: Or they're the the same only different mAh.. But hmm if the Sprint Hero fit with no problems, unlike the TP2 one I'm sold.

Edit 2: Well it seems Sprint wants the Same HTC battery for all their HTC Phones so the Evo, Hero (CDMA) and the TP2 all use the Same RHOD160 Battery. I'm just worried about the fit since others mentioned the Back not being able to close.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jriv:
Well I used the sprint hero battery the other day and it fit perfectly same size and everything
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohgami_Ichiro:
Is it the RHOD160 (35H00123-00M) Model like the TP2? It's OEM right?

The back fits just fine? That was what were mentioning before that they needed to trim it up a tad so the back would fit.
