[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorin.bute:
I got my Nexus one in March. Since then i think i made 3 Google Maps updates and all of them through side loading. Why? Because Google Maps never appeared on the market since day 1 i got the device.

I factory reseted about 10 times and i installed froyo on it and it still doesn't show Google Maps in the market. Yesterday, when Google updated Google Maps, i thought i should insert my Dutch sim card and see if there's any change.

Guess what? It was the first damn app in the top apps tab!!! I updated, inserted my original sim and everything works. Of course the app doesn't show anymore with the original sim.

Apparently, Google only releases Maps to the ones that have access to paid apps.

Can somebody explain why?

I'm so pissed off because of this and i'm thinking of leaving the platform because i'm tired of dealing with discrimination (not having access to paid apps makes me switch even more).

As an android enthusiast i want the newest software so you can understand my frustration of not having access to it right away.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorin.bute:
So i guess everybody here has access to paid apps?

:|

I must change countries...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peadarog:
I had the same problem as you until I installed "market access" to allow me to get paid apps. You have to root, though...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorin.bute:
That's true. I'll probably root when froyo gets official. I haven't done this before so its gonna be a bit challenging.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] koinnflak:
hey guys.

lately my Hero seems to be draining battery like crazy at night when the phone is on stand-by. i have the villainrom 10.3 ROM installed, and during the night the only app that was running was "clock". no wifi or mobile network turned on, no GPS etc, and were talking 45-50% battery drain for 8 hours with the phone in stand-by.

why is this happening?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] G@rf13lt:
I had the same problem yesterday. In 5 hours my battery drained 80%, so I closed all the apps that was running, but still no change. I then restarted my phone, and after that, it looks normal, but will update if it does it again.

Hope someone has an answer...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
Firstly, have you recently flashed a rom and when doing so hard your phone on charge?

If so you will need to run a procedure to reset your battery.

Either

Discharge down to around 5%, go into recovery wipe batt stats, then charge to full with it powered off

or

Charge to full with power on, then power off and charge until green light again. Then wipe batt stats and boot and continue normally.

If you have not flashed a rom recently then this is unlikely to be the issue and something else will be draining your power, e.g. an infinite sync?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] G@rf13lt:
Thanks, will try that
[Hero, G2 Touch General] koinnflak:
thanks lenny, yeah i recently flashed to villainrom but i do believe the problem started a few days prior to it, will try to reset the battery.

how can i check the infinite sync problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
either by reading a logcat or checking to see if the sync icon is always on and never seems to go away.

Best practice is to untick everything you don't need to sync in the sync menu.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] koinnflak:
Allrightyroo, I don't see the sync icon and I think all the syncs I do are manually. Did the battery wipe now, I'll see if it helps.

Btw, is there any difference in charging thru USB or wall socket? I might be biased but I feel I get better battery performance when charging with wall socket..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
It will charge quicker from a wall socket but it won't be any better.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] koinnflak:
Well, I've tried everything but it still drains up to 50% battery during the night, avg. 8 hrs or something. Have turned off background data and sync, wiped battery stats, recharged the way Lennyuk explained etc etc.

what the hell is wrong? My Hero is unusable if I have to charge it as often as this.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] shadow_fi:
Reflash / change ROM.

And about USB or wall socket. There is big difference. USB gives only 500mA, when the wall socket gives is 1000mA. Feel any difference? Do not charge you battery by USB too often.

P.S.

Check with task killer whats on when you go to sleep. Try to kill tuchflo before standby.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Wezternator:
Charging through a wall socket makes no difference other than it will take long to charge via USB
[Hero, G2 Touch General] shadow_fi:
Well, IMHO there is difference, because of we have double ammount of ampers, with the same voltage. Charging with USB is slower, and may charge battery not to 100% (even if phone is saying it is 100%). Ofcourse it will not damage your battery if you use USB.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] koinnflak:
i had this problem prior to flashing to VillainROM 10.3, i used Modaco 3.2 up until then. checked my taskkiller and nothing was using battery other than "clock".
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Seelbreaker:
Do you have the calender widget on your home-screen? That widget is draining the battery like hell. Had also the same problem after i've added the calender widget to my homescreen.... after removing it, everything was normal.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] koinnflak:
yes i do actually, will remove it and see if there's a difference.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sebxd:
Try removing auto-sync or the calendar sync because if i remember well there is an issue with that with a few roms..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] koinnflak:
Removed the widget and had 54% battery for atleast two hours now, seems to be the root of the problem.

Can someone explain the uptime and awake time? When I checked my Hero this morning after 9hrs of sleep it said

Up time: 20h 48 min

Wake: 2h 39min

and this is without touching the phone for 9 hrs.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Davith:
I'm interested as well. Where do you remove calendar sync? I could only find the Google calendar sync, and unticking it didn't change anything. Calendar still appears in Spare Parts on Partial wake usage.

Up time is the time the phone's been on.

Wake time is the time when you have been using the phone (screen on). When you turn the screen off, wake time should stop until you turn the screen on again. If wake time still goes up even when the screen's off, then there must be some application preventing your phone from sleeping.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] koinnflak:
Yeah, and that is kinda strange since "clock" was the only open application during that period. What does it say on your Heroes when you press the sleep button and then wake it up and check battery stats? 10 sec?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Seelbreaker:
I was going so far because of this problem, that i asked htc about a new battery, after i told them that the calender was the source of this problem i asked if they will update it, but i didn't got a clear response... in the end in the response was nothing standing... well maybe they got it with the 2.1 update :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] G@rf13lt:
I've also removed the calender widget yesterday, and now my battery only dropped about 20% up to this morning. Thanx for the tip. Seems like that was the root of all evil... :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] flitz:
Is there a good alternative for the calendar ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] koinnflak:
well, went from 100% to 50% during my 9 hour sleep, and phone has been "awake" for 4 hours according to the stats. goddamnit, this is getting on my nerves.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Davith:
Is your phone rooted? If so, install Spare Parts then check battery history. Go on partial wake usage and check what app is draining the battery.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] koinnflak:
will try, thx for tip!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] koinnflak:
Spare Parts reports back to me that Android System was using my battery when in "sleep" last night. I now have an up time of 198 hours and awake time of 43 hours.. WTF?!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zolmajstor:
try turning off background sync data, go to settings>accounts and sync>uncheck background data.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tonyg_253:
I had the same problem with this rom, i had to reflash to fix the problem. Im not sure wether it was the fact that i had my MMS setting not set correctly and it was continually trying to download an MMS, even after i deleted it. Or the aNetShare app. The app worked great, but didnt seem to want to let go of the gsm data connection once closed. At one stage there, i picked up the phone after 3 hours of standby and it was HOT.

anyway, since reinstalling and having my MMS settings working, and not using aNetShare, its fine.

Regards Tony
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ogg1e:
I too was having the calendar app drain my battery. Spare parts showed that it was well above the 'system' usage.

Removing the calendar widget didn't fix it. Turns out that if you have notifications that you didn't dismiss (meeting invite from exchange for example) then it wouldn't go into sleep mode.

To fix it, all I had to do was get rid of all the notifications. If I open the calendar, there would be a green number on the bottom of the screen and clicking on that and getting rid of the notifications fixed it. Clearing the notifications from the pull down on the home screen isn't enough. You need to actually do something with the notifications.
[HD Mini General] minimee:
I bought my HD2 Mini 4 days back.I am really satisfied with it but only one problem persists.I am staying in Dubai and I use a prepaid card.I use the wifi at home to connect to the internet and I dont want the phone to use the Data Connection of my Phone service to connect to the internet.I have already lost lot of money inspite of disabling the data connection in the settings.

Is there any other way that I can disable the settings for the phone not to use the Data Connection or GPRS and give only priority to the WIFI connection to connect to the Internet?

It will be very helpful if someone helps me with this dilemma .

I'm trying to install swype. I got the installer onto the phone via adb, but thanks to AT&T blocking sideloading I cant get any further, running the installer gives me the same message when you try to sideload.

[HTC Aria General] ShinerDraft:
Here's a newbish question from a (soon to be former) Win Mobile user...

I need to sync appointments, tasks and contacts with my computer at work.

Can someone give me a rundown of the different ways to sync with Outlook?

I don't mind spending a little bit of money on an app. I want something that syncs reliably, and something that has a data structure similar to Outlook's (i.e. I'd like to not lose categories, appointment recurrances, privacy options, etc..).

I don't care about having my work email sent or copied to my phone or anything like that.
[HTC Aria General] ryusen:
I am in the same boat as you. i have heard that HTC Sync is supposed to do that, but i don't have an Aria so i can't tell you how well it works. You could give it a try first since it's free. Another one i've heard of is Companion Link
[HTC Aria General] tomlogan1:
HTC Sync & Outlook

The Aria does support Activesync, so you can utilize connections to an Exchange server. Also, HTC Sync does allow for contacts, calendar, etc. to be synced with Outlook as well. Just got mine yesterday and synced 965 contacts with HTC Sync and had no problems.
[HTC Aria General] ShinerDraft:
So if you have ActiveSync installed on your PC, you just plug the Aria in and ActiveSync works like it does on a WinMo phone?

That seems pretty darn easy.
[HTC Aria General] hashbrown:
Ive just switched to the Aria after being under the Apple curtain. I like the text input options, especially using Swype. But how do you scroll over words in url's like the iphone can? On the iphone if you hold your finger over the word, w/o releasing and scroll left or right it will move the cursor too. This function is vital to word correction.

thanks
[HTC Aria General] ryusen:
I THINK active sync is for direct sync with your exchange server OTA. If you want to sync over USB, you need to use HTC Sync. I was wondering how well it worked. It's nice to hear it worked well.
[HTC Aria General] tycon:
You will need HTC Sync. Activsync is for windows mobile phones and Outlook. HTC Sync will sync calendar and contacts.

[HTC Aria General] tycon:
The link feature is to link a contact from your contact list to a Friend on Face book or Twitter.
[HTC Aria General] ShinerDraft:
Yep, I was able to get calendar & contacts all done last night with no problem. I also used tasks quite a bit in Outlook/WinMo, but that doesn't sync over. No biggie. I'll just have to find another task management app.
[HTC Aria General] froggyarts:
From another previous iPhone user, the best thing to do is to press your finger (not hold, just press) as close to the word you want to correct as best as you can. If you're a little off - use the optical trackpad to move the cursor over to the right spot. If you use Swype too, if your cursor is touching the word you can press the Swype button on the buttom left of the virtual keyboard and it will select the whole word and provide other words to correct it with.
[HTC Aria General] jbizz:
what does ADW Launcher do, and is it a must have?

what are your thoughts on Advanced Task Killer, or Task Killers in general? i have heard mixed feelings about task killers.

still trying to sort out everything there is about Android!
[HTC Aria General] hashbrown:
This is what Ive been looking for. Much easier editing now. It seemed like the display Aria at At&t had an extra app installed that did this. It highlighted everything making the words purple and had lightning symbols around the sentences highlighted. Im going back to store to see what they had installed to make it look like that.
[HTC Aria General] glitterbug:
You don't need task killers. You may need to remove bad programs or services and you may need to be more selective about the widgets you want to use. Most apps will "sleep" when in the background and will be released from memory when another program needs it.
[HTC Aria General] trewang:
How do you get rid of the email popup alerts? They keep waking me up from my sleeping as I think they are something important! I unclicked "alerts" under mail settings and notification settings.
[HTC Aria General] hashbrown:
I have apps that start up by them selves that aren't widgets nor on my home screens. Mainly at&t bloat ware and maps. I think at&t navigator is connected to maps. That one one starts everytime I use maps. I just use A.T.K. And kill them manually. Also check "running services" in settings. Some of those don't need to run all the time. Un check google location services, that may trigger apps to start too
[HTC Aria General] hashbrown:
I was wrong to suggest an app killer. After reading an article about how Android allocates memory from inactive services and programs I see that app killers are a waste of needed space and a waste of time.

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html

Its an old windows mobile way of thinking to kill apps running in the background.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
The clocks are interesting but:

- 3D movements like in some clocks are not really possible in manila,

- there are too many power and CPU-load consuming wheels and complications for the animations (also the HD2 has limits ;))

- and last but not least the photos are not so suiteable for modding.

So sorry.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
I can't flash any of the Froyo roms available. Tried Defrost and also the modaco one by Paul. They all stick on the white HTC screen. Worst part is i have used Defrost before! So can't understand why.

I can flash MCR 3.1 (sense) and i also flashed Amsghks cyanogen mod port. Both work fine.

Not sure if it's because of my sd having an ext partition but it does the same if i remove the sd card. Also I'm sure the Modaco one supports ext as i downloaded the one with additions and a2sd!

Just been trying and failing to use the new rooting method that doesn't unlock the bootloader, when I noticed that when in FASTBOOT & HBOOT, the first line of text reads:

NEXUSONE PVT SHIP S-OFF

Now, I am certain I had checked this before and it was S-ON, but I can't remember if this was before I had sent it back to HTC for a repair, or maybe it is due to installing the pre-release 2.2 update.zips?

Either way, is this of any use to anyone?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
its S-ON for me and im on stock frf72

are you sure you dont have a holiday nexus (phones given to employees and special prelease testing)

If it was a holiday phone it would say ENG S-OFF, not SHIP S-OFF

Either way, mine was bought from Google in late Jan, standard battery cover and the SPL 100% used to be S-ON.

Is this really of no use to anyone? I thought it might be handy for the relocking bootloader quest?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Ah didn't know that it couldn't be dumped, just assumed it could be after reading that some folks had got their hands on the ENG SPL. Guess this is a non-starter then. Bugger.

Also I can't be sure that it is down to HTC, but it's all I can think of that would have changed it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonicjuice:
My N1 is running stock build ERD56C with bootloader locked - HBOOT says ENG S-OFF.

My battery cover has the AndroidBug waving the flag with the link to the holiday phone game on it and my bootanimation is the one that's included in the latest CyanogenMod 6 release (you may have frequented those threads about that, I pulled the anim out of my phone and posted it on Modaco - not sure if it was my bootanim the cyanogen guys used tho?! link: http://android.modaco.com/content/google-nexus-one-nexusone-modaco-com/311351/build-version-erd56c/).

Anyway, I've been told by a few folks that I've got a holiday phone but I guess if I'm ENG S-OFF then it must be an engineering one? Certainly it didn't seem like my bootanimation had been widely seen before...

Question is, may my phone be any use in the quest to relock the bootloader?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
it MAY be possible. I remember that we got a hold of the Engineering SPL for the G1 when one of the Devs got their g1 back with the eng spl still on it
