[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSteveDoe:
Get a task killer app and set it to always kill maps, and set a schedule for pruning (like every 30 mins). It's not supposed to start by itself. If you haven't rooted/flashed a custom ROM on it, call HTC. If you have, unroot and go back to stock for a day and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, it's the ROM's fault. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurgandk:
its not rooted, so if I understand you correctly its a bug?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSteveDoe:
Either a software bug or an application issue. Have you reset to factory settings (full wipe)?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurgandk:
no not yet..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurgandk:
how much does a 'full wipe' .... 'wipe'?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuthton:
I'm sorry, but that is hilarious.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSteveDoe:
About as much as 2 packs of Kleenex.

Okay, serious answer. All data on the phone, but not SD card too (on the off chance that something goes wrong, just copy/paste everything on your SD card to your PC, so you can restore)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurgandk:
heh heh ;)

my point being.. I keep the 'backed up' settings and info on the sd? or is it completely blank?

also I need to apply firmware upgrades again?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSteveDoe:
Don't think it touches software version, but it might. I suggest you backup either with MyBackup (30 day free trial) or TitaniumBackup first.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 554321:
i have the same issue, everytime i check my task manager i see apps like maps launched even though i never use them, sucks more battery for no reason, i hope froyo sheds some light
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andycted:
Please check one of the many battery/task manager threads. Cached applications don't use anything if they aren't somehow active. Also you could have lots of applications open at startup which must initialize something or cache themselves.

I also have maps and many other launched at startup, and my battery life is more than good.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurgandk:
well its claimed that they dont use any ressources.... but the reality is that something like maps eat 10% of my battery in the course of a day even if i dont use it...

if i regularely kill off unused tasks I have plenty of battery for a whole day including wifi

but if I dont Im down to the wire..

apps like maps, gallery etc. alll runs on bootup, and maps at least restarts every ... minutes..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurgandk:
got a response from HTC:

Dear Mr Jacobsen, Thanks for contacting HTC Support. Regarding your question, the applications will run automatically in the background as you pointed out. And yes, they will affect the longevity of the battery. Phones operating on the android platform or the Windows Mobile platform will need to be recharged on a more regular basis than other mobile phones. “Heavy” users might need to recharge their phone as often as every 24 hours, and this applies to every brand (Nokia, Sony...)out there. That aside, I do share your frustrations regarding the energy applications waste. If you go on to the Marketplace (market) and search for the application task killer, you should find an application enabling you to close down applications you do not need on a regular basis. Yours Sincerely ****** HTC Support

To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number *******.

Sincerely,

***

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitese:
Task killers, full wipes, uninstallation...

...People could you calm down?

OP, could you check you don't have Latitude enabled in your Maps app? I found this too and it was because I set Maps to report my location. If it's not thats a good start. Now go to your settings and select Location. If you want turn off the use of wireless for location acquiring.

Ensure you're not using any widgets that need mapping data, or the Maps live wallpaper (that's a REAL juice hog)

You'll find a service running called FriendsAppWidget or such. Not sure what it does, but it's the only Map service I know that runs as long as the phone is on. You can kill it if you want, but I'm getting about 16 hrs use with it running all this time and no task killers.

[EDIT]

From some searching is seems quite a few 3rd party apps plug into this service. Foursquare, Buzz, Twitter etc... Also , run maps and turn off any location aware features you may have enabled in the Labs section.

Basically seek out any apps you use that are dependant on getting your location to work. Even your weather widget might be the culprit.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSteveDoe:
Menu > Add > Shortcuts > Settings > Battery Use. Charge it to full, use it til it's running out of battery, then open Battery Use and tell us if there are any apps that you didn't open once (like maps) that use, say, 10% of your battery.

Sounds to me like they're just background services (which consume 0 resources)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurgandk:
well maps for sure, it seems its the single most powersucking app...

when Im down to orange/red on the battery from full charge its rated at 7-10%
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSteveDoe:
Are you using Foursquare/Facebook/Twitter/geotagging photos & snapping a lot of them/etc? All of those use Maps, to a certain extent. If not, and you're on a stock ROM, call HTC and *****.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurgandk:
I do use geotagging and some facebook, but that ... in my opinion does not excuse maps not quitting after its done what it has to do...

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] djg269:
If you are using Cookies Home Tab with CHT Editor there is an option to restart Manila.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] p00ltergeist:
If you only want manila without co0kies home tab or similar "manila mods" I dont think there's any

app

itself thats enable to toggle manila on/off...

If I find one ill write back*
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Most of the time all you need to do is go to disable\enable Sense unless it locks up your phone, you can also kill it with QuickMenu taskmanager.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ekosbravo:
I'm not able to find the option that you are talking about.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] p00ltergeist:
There's no "option" where you can restart manila by yourself..

Im sure djg269 mean when you change something within the manila/CHT homescreen (something that affects the homescreen itself or som other major changes) the program automatically restarts manila.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] p00ltergeist:

[HD2 General] Pooper:
Does anyone know of an app that would help me find out what application/process is causing my 3G connection to turn on randomly...... a lot?

I've gone through all the options i can, to stop any program that runs updates (Twitter, Facebook, Stocks, ActiveSync, Internet time etc) but the connection STILL randomly connects >.<

Any help appreciated!
[HD2 General] htchd2sucks:
Thank you for asking that.

Finally someone else who find that's completely "censored".

I give you official answers from my phone provider:

It's normal. To avoid receiving a big bill, you should buy a pack data download, so if it randomly connects, you are safe. Other users reporting the same and its normal and the data pack is perfect solution- No comments

I give you answer from HTC support:

Go into settings/submenu/megasubmenu... whatever, and check "phone usage" n(which only tells the calls usage by the way, not the data)- no comments

I give you answer from forums users:

Yes either try this wonderful application: x,y,z to know the usage : (its paying ones).

Or completely mess the configuration to connect to internet via your HTC HD2 "quietly brilliant" device (very quietly)...

Ok you understand, you're more or less screwed and have to accept that complete scam.

And apparently we are 2 in the world now, to find that's an essential feature, missing (another one).

Ho and to actually diagnose which one is using gprs... Hm we can't even control to say "NO never activate DATA", because the button automatically turns on (quietly stupid).
[HD2 General] damnshah:
This cab allows you to disable all data connections...enjoy
[HD2 General] NeoGreendawg:
My phone was starting data connections all the time when I first flashed a cooked ROM and had it set up with the SFR Always On data connection... On my stock SFR ROM it was called Full Internet but it used exactly the same settings but I didn't have the problem so I just tried changing the name from Always One back to Full Internet and it worked strangely enough... I don't know if that can help but it might be worth a shot ;).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehBrY:
I'm confused with FRF72, why is it only 2MB?! That is very small. Is this meant to patch the earlier FRF50 which I have running right now?

Even if it is/or isn't a patch, has anyone tried to run the ROM ZIP WITHOUT WIPING so to save from having to restore Titanium backup? I can't be bothered with the whole process until the weekend is over, unless I can upgrade without wiping. Please let me knwo if any of you have attempted to do that and have you succeeded? Thanks.

When I upgraded 2.1 to 2.2 and was curious, I didn't wipe and the 2.2 successfully booted, and everything all the settings and apps were intact, but it was force closing every single time I tried to run any app, so after that, I wiped, and then it was fine.

I don't want to go through that whole process again though, this time being its 2.2 older beta to newer beta, so it might work without a wipe right?

You didn't understand the answer.

1) You posted it in the wrong section - in Development. This is not development, this is Q&A. So the thread was moved by mods.

2) You've been (not so gently) pointed to search before you go asking questions. Especially those that have been answered and written all about. Go to General section, read thread "FRF72" from page 15 or so and up.

[EVO 4G General] Vipermuscle83:
Hey guys,

I just wanted to let all the devs know that my Evo has been rejecting any and all kernals that have been produced til now. I have full root access and nand fully unlocked. I have followed all neccessary steps to unlock EVERYTHING but still can't overclock the phone AT ALL. I just wanted to see if anyone else has been experiencing this weird phenomenon and if devs have recognized this as more than just an unusual problem with a handful of Evos. I would like to get feedback from any devs out there as far as what you've noticed and if/when this bug will get stompped! :p
[EVO 4G General] justinisyoung:
well, at least say WHAT happens. boot loops? unresponsive? random reboots?
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
It freezes up on a force close screen once the bootanimation has finished. At least for me.
[EVO 4G General] rjmjr69:
Are you doing wipes?
[EVO 4G General] Vipermuscle83:
most of the time it will freeze once android has finally booted up. Then the phone tries to restart itself over and over again freezing at different points of the booting process. YES, I wipe, wipe, wipe. I'm not new to this stuff so I know it's nothing I'm doing wrong. Also, I have tried flashing the kernal only through recovery. I have tried immediately following flashing it's corresponding rom and I have tried flashing the kernal after the rom was installed already and rebooted successfully...same results.
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
Which kernel is being used and what its the hardware revision of you phone?
[EVO 4G General] Vipermuscle83:
Hardware version 0003 and I've tried the 1.114 kernal and the 1.2...which seem to be the only ones out there at the moment. Both don't work.
[EVO 4G General] Saturn2K:
HW 0003 doesn't work with custom kernels yet. Check the overclock kernel thread, it's posted there.

[HD2 General] tundra84:
So?

So what's the big deal if they use your imei in some fake phone? Are there any ramifications for the owner of the imei
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Other than the system will not let duplicate IMEI's work at the same time, so if someone clones your phone, you could end up with a non working phone ...

OR the worst case , it does let them on and they get your calls and vice versa ...

So legally I don't think it would hurt the original owner, but could end up hurting in other ways ....
[HD2 General] predater:
May be they need personal emails, not imei nubers.

For fishing, hacking and ...... etc.:mad:

I got my free unlock straight from T-mobile themselves.
[HD2 General] ovakloka:
hi. could you please tell us, how one can do the same, without having an actual t-mobile number (without signing in to their site)?

Will appreciate.
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
Doesn't T-mobile have a web chat on their support page, and I think you can just get an unlock code that way, provided you've been a customer for a year or something like that.
[HD2 General] nks2105:
I read they will actually request the unlock code from HTC. I did it 3 weeks ago and I got the unlock code in the next 24h so I believe it is reliable although not instant if you're a TMO customer. you might as well try to contact HTC if they have a customer service in your country.

My problem was then that my phone never asked for the unlock code so it happened to be useless. I don't know if it's because I have a custom rom on my phone or what but it never prompted me for the unlock code although I followed the steps they recommend (shut down, insert different sim, turn on...)
[HD2 General] Diamond_dawg:
if you brought it used, it could've been that the person before you already unlocked it
[HD2 General] nks2105:
I did buy it used but unfortunately the phone never picked up the local network as it was supposed to when I put the new sim card in it.

it just didn't work like if it was still locked (although I'm assuming at this point and I don't remember what the phone said exactly since it was weeks ago) maybe i'll try again with my wife's ATT sim when I get a chance but it's no big deal as the vacations are over now ;(
[HD2 General] Diamond_dawg:
Oh ok, cuz some sims that come from wallmart(dont remember the name) dont work in US phones even tho they are GSM
[HD2 General] InfX:
IMEI scam ? Are you guys kidding me ? The IMEI would have less value than a real email aderss, you know, at least one can send some spam to an email ! IMEI format is well known, generating a "valid" IMEI is about as complicated as generating a "valid" credit card number (actually, it's the same checksum algorithm). But, unlike credit cards, the IMEI numbers are NOT usually checked anywhere (except some stolen phones databases, but those are, more or less, just a "black list"), so whats the point of stealing a real one ?!
[HD2 General] Diamond_dawg:
what people do is, steal IMEI's then plant it on a stolen phone or Chinese Fake, now if you have two phones with the Same IMEI, chances are the cellular companies could think they are upto something, or in the UK if you report your Phone stolen, the one from where the IMEI is stolen could also be blocked
[HD2 General] bobdavisnpf:
When you turn on the phone with a Tmobile sim in it, it just starts working and does not prompt for unlock... or so the tmo guys told me. Sent me next door to buy an ATT sim. When you put the ATT sim in, it will prompt you to unlock.

ATT guys explained that, when ATT detects the phone, they auto-query and discover it's a smartphone and auto-setup data service at $30-or-whatever per month. You can then call ATT customer care to turn that off. AT folks can't suppress the query or setup, but if you get to the right people they can turn it off.

If the phone requires a phone-unlock password then you have to put in that password before you can get the keyboard to show and enter the unlock code. Took me a while to figure that one out.
[HD2 General] InfX:
While this is totally correct about the 2 identical IMEI on the same net, and, yes, both the real and the fake phone with the same IMEI are going to be out of service if blacklisted.

But this doesnt change the fact the Chinese fake can run using ANY IMEI. There is no need for a real one !
[HD2 General] Diamond_dawg:
yeah there were phones coming out with 100 chinese phones of the same IMEI or like 111111111 and stuff, so cellular companies blocked them as they found it suspicious and therefore the IMEI Cloning
[HD2 General] InfX:
You dont have to do it 11111..., you can use, lets say, an old nokia imei range, from the models that are now rarely ever used. The imei ranges, per company and model, are pretty well known. Again, there is no need to clone an existing, active, imei. There is no point in that. Period.
[HD2 General] Diamond_dawg:
umm maybe not for you , but when your in the business of making a million phones and your out of imei numbers, cloning is the best way and its not easy to find old phones
[HD2 General] InfX:
Well, this is the last time i rephrase and repeat it.

* Take a vendor TAC, those are well known, for example, 01124500 for Apple

* Add a random 6 digits serial number to it. For example, 523434.

* Add a valid checksum digit, in our example it is 7

* You've got yourself a perfectly valid IMEI, 011245005234347, that is seen by the network as iPhone.

And it's way easier and faster than hunting for real IMEI numbers.

Kapish ?
[HD2 General] OrsoNerOne:
How you have do that ???
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
If you have a T-Mobile HD2 and are a T-Mobile customer and you give T-Mobile adiquit reason for needing the code ie going out of country for busness or vaction or you want to keep using your HD2 but are changing providers then yes T-Mobile will give you a code for free. You have to contact T-Mobile and give them all the required information and they will send the code to you via e-mail in what ever time they state to you when you contact them.
[HD2 General] OrsoNerOne:
ehmm...

i'm italian

i've not a contract with T-mobile
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Did you buy your HD2 new or used? If you bought it used and the person you bought it from is a T-Mobile customer then you might be abale to get them to contact T-Mobile and get the code for you. Bit if this is not the case then you will have to go to eBay and find someone to purchase a code from there. Sorry man :(
[HD2 General] uzziah0:
I got mine from someone was the original owner on T Mobile.

I called T Mobile, told them I got this from someone on Craig'sList. They said the original owner (with a current account) needed to contact them with their account info, and the IMEI.

I asked him, and he called.

In about 1 day, they replied, and he forwarded the details.

I unlocked mine with that information.
[HD2 General] emilya:
I dont belive in free codes since they may be wrong. I always get my codes at Mobile-Unlocker for cheap. I've experienced many times getting wrong codes from free providers.

[HD2 General] YONITED:
i believe that there is no sim unlock key for free or application can do it , use ebay
[HD2 General] uzziah0:
There is, possibly.

If the original owner calls T Mobile, and has an active account, and can give them the IMEI number, they will email them instructions to unlock it. That is how I got mine unlocked.
