[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamersipaq:
Guys, re-read the first post carefully. I never said this would work. I found it on Cyan's website to help with battery issues for CM5, and thought it MIGHT help our phones not have to "bump-charge" which it did not. However, the actual process of "bump-charging" DOES charge us up to 100% properly, giving you more power. That said, if you're going through your batter in like 3 hours, this MIGHT help alleviate that.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNS201:
I don't get how people can track battery life or compare battery life with others.

Day to day use with phone use can vary user to user. Your location can vary user to user. Obviously the more you use your phone and the more your phone seeks a signal the more the battery will be used.

Agreed, i always find battery threads funny, but sometimes you do learn a new trick or two...sometimes
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talk2nate:
I'd agree with you there.. but this trick did honestly work for me. I live in perfect signal area so that may or may not have something to do with it. But It seriously has *almost* doubled my battery life for my usage.

OK, just charged to full, r2r, cleared battery cache in CMR, rbt, waited for full boot/sync cycle to finish and unplugged, now to kill the battery LOL will update with findings later.

*NOTE: only charged until indicator and all status settings said battery full/100%, did not bump charge. If this proves ineffective, will try again utilizing bump charge.

*LOL killing the battery is fun XD. My gf is cracking up every time I say, "Die phone, die!" LOL dropped from 33 to 27 percent while typing this edit

*Battery is dead, just got back from GF's, about to throw it on the charger. As the OP is unclear on the subject of whether or not (after the battery is drained and phone shuts off, when you then plug it into the charger again) to turn it on and let it charge or let it charge while off (HINT HINT, please clarify OP!!!), I'm going to let it charge while off. Will post again in the morning when I wake up to a green light, we'll see how fast the juice drains.

*fully charged, now bumping

*meh, after monitoring it all day, no real improvement seen, maybe a slightly longer batt life, but that could just be a placebo effect... eff it, 3500 mAh battery here I come! lol

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imakul8:
Trying this now on my G2. Only thing...I couldn't charge my phone until green with it off because of Clowkwork Recovery. My phone always goes into recovery mode when plugged into the charger...and Clockwork doesn't allow the screen to cut off completely. Anyway, I let it it charge for about 30 minutes and it never turned green. I don't know if it won't charge fully or maybe it needed more time, but I don't like having my screen on continuously for over 30 minutes. I think it's the data cable being used as a charger that causes it to go into recovery. I had a regular charging cable from my HD2 and I don't think it happened using it. I'm not sure. Does anyone know for sure? I really want to fully charge it being powered off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonriot:
This thread was dead,

But now it's not....

I was going to write you a poem

about how you should be shot.

your question is very confusing dude... You're saying that when your phone is TURNED OFF, and you plug it in to a wall wort or USB cable, that it boots into Recovery Mode?? You don't charge your phone while it's off unless you're bump charging it, which isn't really recommended anymore anyway. If you're only charging at night, I guess that's ok, but damn...

Charging it while it's off will get it to 100%... but I wouldn't ever expect a half hour of charging in ANY power state to get my phone to full charge unless I had just taken it off the charger 2 minutes before... Even while bump charging - AFTER YOU RESET YOUR BATTERY STATS - it takes longer than a half hour per bump charge, and if you notice, your phone already thinks it's at 100% when you turn it off and bump it one more time.

Bottom line, don't try to bump charge your phone to get a max charge out of it before you delete your battery stats... it doesn't matter, it will jack up your results, and you'll destroy your battery much faster in the process.

That being said, get yourself an extended battery... after 15 hours, I'm sitting at 75% charge on my Droid Incredible with a HTC 2150mAh battery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imakul8:
Well, glad you decided to help instead.:D Well, I just wiped the stats with a full charge while powered on. I'm discharging it now. So I should be ok. But thanks, I won't worry about doing the bump charge if it will make things go hay wire. May consider extended battery.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenHolliday:
Reviving an old thread here.... :D

I charged till full, turned off for around 20 to 30 till green light and when in and took that batt file out.

It took right at 30 minutes for the batter to drop to 98% and after 4:20 minutes, it just dropped to 80%. May not sound like great results but I've done two complete backups, deleted backups, fixed permissions (Titanium), several restarts, surfed the net, talked on phone (just a bit), and have done like 20 Lookout scans.

Normally, within 2 or 3 hours I'd have to put the phone on the charger because it would be around 50%. Running stock 2.2 Rooted. Have BT, WiFi, GPS, and screen 100%.

Don't understand it all, just know that it's worked a treat for me.

Hi,

I installed some sip clients and i have same problem with all of them:

I can hear my interlocutor but they cant hear me...

The only one working but with so poor quality is Fring.

Someone have audio problems with voip?

I tried with 2 diferents providers

and 2 diferents firmware. Problem not solved.

Normal phone calls (GSM) are working normally.

Thanks for your feedback

Problem solved using Sipdroid.

Its the only sip client which fixed my audio problem.

hey guys,

i'm testing the new goatrip gtx rom at the moment and i would say it's kind of great :) i'm loving this style and those icons.

unfortunately, i have a problem with the start menu.

i've installed the cab, which changes the shortcut rows from 3 to 4, and now the font color is white... you can imagine, that white color on white background is difficult to read ;)

so how to change the color of the start menu?

any suggestions?

thank you.

Hi

My experience with HTC (tornado, wizard, blackstone) are that they dont update the software. You have to rely on hacked roms for new updates.

This could be a microsoft-problem and since I now have my eyes on android I wonder if HTC will keep updating the desire...

Still no word on the froyo-update...

This alone could be an argument for buying nexus instead even if its uglied both in hardware and gui.

What do you think about this?
[Desire General] boas:
I had a Touch Pro, and since MS is the developer I would blame them not HTC for updating MS software. HTC did actually update the Touch Pro a while ago, and a second update of Winmo, should be released in due time. But I would still blame MS for their crappy 6.5 Winmo OS.

According to HTC, will Froyo come some where after Today and 12 weeks ahead. I guess that it will come rather sooner than later. And if somebody cant wait for offical OTA updates, root the device and update to Froyo.
[Desire General] Jim_Fear:
Apparently the 23rd of June thing leaked by one of the support staff was tosh (supported by the fact that the date has been and gone and no Froyo yet!). One of HTC's spokes-people said at Google I/O that...

“We are working hard with our partners to update the HTC Sense experience on Froyo and distribute it to our customers as fast as possible. We expect to release updates for several of our 2010 models including Desire, Legend and Wildfire beginning in Q3″

Being as this is some super speedy new kernel I think its wise that they test their Sense UI to bits before issuing the update :)

That aside...GIVE ME 2.2 NOW!!!
[Desire General] foxmeister:
What do you mean no word? They've confirmed that it is coming, but not given a precise timescale.

Past Froyo, I wouldn't expect further updates, but I suppose there is a slim chance we'll get Gingerbread. However, since Google will be moving to yearly OS updates after that, I can't see HTC providing anything beyond that - the economics of it just don't make any sense.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] robnil:
Can you update with hacked roms and get everying working with the hardware (and just loose the gui) or is it like i remembered with the wizard, problems with drivers to the camera etc.. ?

If not i guess I could transform the desire-hardware into a fully updated gingerbread-nexus in future.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Given that the OS is open source, barring specific hardware requirements, there's no reason why later versions of AOSP Android couldn't be ported to the Desire. Unlike WinMo phones, we always have the option of compiling up Android to suit the hardware.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] patasenko:
Ok, how many threads are going to be like this???

Yes you can flash to froyo now and loose sense ui, give a look at development section and/or use search or even google search. HTC didnt officially stated anywhere yet that Froyo is coming to Desire @blabla... However there was a leak about Froyo, which was miscommunication and actually 23rd of June was the date when Google announced the release of code of Froyo to everyone. So from that date HTC is able to work on Froyo.

And look with help of search i was able to find this http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/htc-expect-desire-legend-and-wildfire-to-get-froyo-beginning/ and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=713588

Not entirely true, the TD2 did get a Sense 2.5 after the promised WM 6.5 update. After that the TD2 was pretty much dead for HTC. :)

yeah they do, its hard to get support for older devices lol
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
Im hoping that as long as google continue to update the nexus, HTC will update Desire, Anyway what I read gingerbread is trying to clean up the UI's so there will be no need for manufacturers UI's, This will make updating in the futher alot easier I guess and possible updates will be pushed for longer even thought it will change to yearly, Alot of people are stuck with the same phone for around 2 years
[TG01 General] ZedEx48K:
When running GPS apps the phone is fine (eg Google maps, Tomtom) but once Igo has been used all other apps fail to find the GPS untill a restart (as though it locks down the GPS to itself), this is with official and custom roms, also the likes of GPS gate. The same install of GMaps and Igo however work fine on my womans HD2 :/ anyone else witnessed this or have a cure for it?
[TG01 General] zar1967:
Same problem here!

It took me half a day to get to the bottom of this. I installed iGO8 on my recently purchased TG01 and it would not find the GPS.

Obviously, lots of people are having the very same problem.

Solutions include using GPSGate, gpsplex or GPSModDriver. Those all seem to work with some people - or not.

I finally managed to get a GPS-signal WITHOUT any of these solutions!

By simply adding this to the SYS.TXT:

[gps]

source="virtserial"

When I tried it at first, iGO8 would crash back to the today screen! OK, second try, same result. AFTER I did a soft reset (for a different reason) and restarted iGO8 it suddenly worked (for the first time)! Hmm.

Once I started iGO8 a second time it would crash again. IF I deleted the [gps]-command it would start properly again - without any GPS-reception of course. Exiting, than putting the lines back in would also crash iGO8!

BUT if if unhooked the GPS-reception in the iGO8-settings, exited iGO8, inserted the [gps]-command in SYS.TXT and then started iGO8, it would work again!

After a while I figured out that a simple soft reset is also sufficient. Still a hassle, but not the end of the world.

Let's see if someone finds a more elegant solution!
[TG01 General] Pere:
After a year using GPSgate without problems. A hundred times better than soft reset! :)
[TG01 General] zar1967:
I paid for my smartphone, I paid for iGO8 and now I shall pay for this?

Better a few soft resets per day than pay! ;)
[TG01 General] ZedEx48K:
Thanks for the replies, but with both,

[gps]

source="virtserial"

and GPS gate I still have other GPS software fail to find the GPS device after using Igo (though mine doesn't crash out on multiple runs) Tomtom, Gmaps etc all live happily next to each other, though GPS Gate is needed for Tomtom, and as said the same software taken straight from my phone and placed on the partners HD2 doesn't suffer the same problem. I also am running atm FFBoys custom rom and that allows me to change the default port the GPS device is found on so no more com9 issues are suffered either, and the rteset is a pain especially infront of dodgy iPhone users :P
[TG01 General] Jonous:
Try this and most if not all gps soft should work without gates and stuff. Never liked that proggie anyway. Neither did i like the idea of secondary prog running behind. Phone does not need any help, it can manage on its own :p
[TG01 General] zar1967:
Thanks for the effort, but GpsModDriver does not work for me! Although it will allow iGO8 to detect a GPS-receiver at the proper port, there is no reception!

Besides, there is already a version 3.10 around. Checkout at handheld (dot) softpedia (dot) com.

No one really knows why iGO8 and some others have these problems! Is it WM, the device or the software?

Regards!
[TG01 General] Jonous:
Hmm this shouldn't be. No reception at all? This sounds like the disconnection problems i used to have, eg finding satellites and receiving data and after a minute or so suddenly red icon and no data downloaded. Or another scenario finding satellites normally during the first run and after exiting igo and then loading it again it wouldn't receive data. I had problems of gps disconnections with stock rom and also with radio 5005.1600 and i had to reset my phone to get signal again. Realy annoying and led me to assume that i had a defective phone. That was not the case. First of all that problem appeared while in gsm mode but when i turned to 3g signal was steady and never lost it. Now after having tried several different radios i have found one that suits me with great call sound quality, another problem with the stock rom, and also gps signal wthout disconnections in both gsm and 3g mode.

Have you tried switching to another radio and do your tests? I don't know the radio your current rom uses but if it's the 1600 it has gps disconnection problems. Also try a cr***ed version of igo to see if this happens. I also have the program in an original sd card but i cannot be limited to the small capacity of the 2gb card and unfortunately i cannot copy the original card to a bigger capacity card either because it's protected. So i chose to use a *** version, though i don't consider myself a pirate :p
[TG01 General] zar1967:
Hi!

As I said: if I install GPSModDriver instead of using the [gps]-command in the SYS.TXT I can set the COM-port and iGO8 will detect a GPS-receiver there. But that's all. It will blink green and pick up no satellites. And trust me, I waited 30 minutes just to make sure! Once I switched back and put [gps] back into SYS.TXT it worked at once!

I haven't done too much testing yet, since I'm still using my old navigation system. But over the weekend I will try and see if the current configuration works properly over a longer period of time.

If I restart iGO8 without a soft reset in between it will always crash back to the today screen after loading to the cockpit screen. Worse, if I try that several times it may enter a "death cycle" where iGO8 restarts over and over again until I press and hold the on/off-button for the TG01 to shut down.

Interestingly in the short time span where iGO8 is completely loaded you CAN see the yellow spots on the GPS-detection (cockpit screen) which means that it picks up satellites! But the next second it will freeze, crash and then overwrite the graphics onscreen with the today screen. An error log would maybe help here.

My TG01 is a used one but from a reliable trader. So, I don't think that it is the smartphone itself but a problem involving either the software or the driver/driver support.

Not yet! I switched back to an official ROM released by Toshiba after I concluded that maybe there was a problem, but the errors/solutions remain exactly the same.

Since I'm not the biggest fan of their pre-installed software package, I switched back again to "pure" WM 6.5 provided by Nokser.

I'm using: Radio Version: v.5005.1700.05

Since I own two legally purchased licenses of iGO8 (1x PDA, 1x PNA) I'm always doing a bit of "beta testing".

Same results! The 8.32.x version I tried actually behaved even worse than the 8.34.x version I've been using for some time now!

To the heroic "pirate hunters" out there we're already "pirates" because we talk on this forum and dare to do stuff with (and to) our hardware (and software) that we're not allowed AND supposed to.

Hell, even attempting to flash another ROM onto this device will cancel any warranty!

Regards!
[TG01 General] zar1967:
Testing complete!

Today, I took the TG01 with iGO8 out for some testing!

Setup:

- Ultra ProEdition WM ® CE OS 5.2 23569 - Build 23569[20/06/2010][GERMAN] (by Nokser)

- Radio Version: v.5005.1700.05

- iGO8 8.3.4.142975 (May 11 2010)

- no gpsmodriver or other similar software/driver installed

- SYS.TXT with [gps]-command added

And here are the results:

- Within city limits the GPS-reception worked perfectly! Fast, strong and responsive. I tested it for about 30-45 minutes. No glitches, no hang-ups. TMC-support was provided by an external bluetooth device.

- Once entering the motorway and speeding up the GPS-signal was lost within 20 minutes - at a speed of about 120-150 km/h. It did not re-establish and after awhile iGO8 even lost the GPS-receiver itself - red light blinking! When I restarted iGO8 (without a soft reset) it would find the GPS-receiver and satellites again for about 20-30 seconds, than crash back to the today screen.

- After a soft reset and at high speed (150km/h) on the motorway iGO8 would find the satellites again than lose them after about 30-60 seconds. Same behaviour as above.

- Returning within the city limits and after a soft reset, everything worked just fine again until the very end of the trip (another 30 minutes).

_______________

Additional testing during the trip:

I also have an external GPS-mouse (bluetooth) which I connected it to the TG01, removed the [gps]-command from SYS.TXT and started iGO8. No problems here!

Same during any part of the trip - perfect GPS-reception, no glitches or hang-ups.

______________________

Conclusion:

Either the device itself has a problem with continuous GPS-reception (e.g. the radio and/or its driver) - which should be tested with other softwares to provide some more conclusive data. Or iGO8 and the support for TG01's GPS-receiver is the culprit to blame!

Regards!
[TG01 General] ZedEx48K:
While all help is appreciated, the main issue that I have is not the running of Igo, it is after using and exiting it that no other program can use the GPS! A soft reset cures that, but still it seems to be Igo holding onto the port some how and denying everything else access to it, be it Tomtom, Google maps, GPSGate etc on official and cooked roms.
[TG01 General] zar1967:
We have a common goal! If someone finds out what's causing iGO8's behaviour there may be a fix around that helps both of us.

Regards!
[TG01 General] Pere:
I've been 11 months using IGO +GPSGate without no hangs at all.

By the way (perhaps out threat but interest me) could you explain how do you provide TMC-suport?

Thank you!
[TG01 General] zar1967:
I'm already wondering what kind of driver GPSGate provides in this case that makes running GPS-dependent software so obviously less problematic than the standard WM-setup!

I actually have two options for TMC-support! First of all an external GPS-mouse (bluetooth) that comes with a TMC-receiver integrated. It's the Royaltek RTG-2000. I got it new for 25 Euros quid from eBay. Reception is very good (in both cases)! There are only two disadvantages: 1. It uses a plugin antenna (wire aerial) for TMC-reception you have to setup every time you use it first. 2. The proprietary (and rather hard to change) accu it comes with is only 650mA which means it doesn't last very long without recharging!

The other is option is also bluetooth-based and directly connected to my car radio. It's called Navilock TMC Y-Adapter. This one's a bit more elegant, since it's directly wired to the car radio's antenna and power supply and thus disappears completely and doesn't need any extra setup. It's also much more expensive at 55-65 Euros. But the TMC-reception is excellent and it works like a charm. Well, ok, iGO8 3.2x versions will not be able to detect it, and I have to use version 3.4x instead!

Regards!
