Any thoughts on this? Can someone else try it out? It instantly fc's as I hit a certain point scrolling down the settings, but if I stay above that point, nothing... odd. Would like to be able to control resolution etc.

Anyone using a different keyboard? I tried smart keyboard pro and it doesn't seem to work. What keyboards do you guys recommend?
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
I absolutely love Swiftkey. Once you get used to it you can type seriously fast...
[Desire Android Development] :
Thanks a lot! Tried many roms but this one is my favorite! Installed without problems, put HTC IME mod on it and the new Black Bar. Looks great and runs like a charm! Keep up the good work!

Does anybody else have the problem not being able to update the Facebook app from market? It always tells me "installation failed" :(

How can I solve this?
[Desire Android Development] Cooperman_UK:
I had the same problem.

Your SD card is mounted read only :mad:

Mount the SD card in your PC and scan it for errors.

It should work ok after that.

For some reason most roms since the 2.2 update are causing SD card corruption, see this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=747302

Anyone having issues with Bettercut not working, something about openhome?
[Desire Android Development] Powder79:
I really love this rom, the only thing is that I'm also suffering heavily battery dropping.

Anybody else have this problem?

edit: I just noticed the OJ has died which is probably the reason
[Desire Android Development] Milamber:
I badly need a keyboard!
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
Unplugged at 100% at 12:21am and at 7:21am, i'd lost 4% with zero usage.

checked, and it had 'cell standby' and 'phone idle' both at 50%. would this mean that the phone isn't sleeping ?. I checked the OJ and it was working fine.
[Desire Android Development] daymo:
This rom is excellent, i havent had a chance to update to 3.1 yet though,does anyone else have a problem with the video camera? It just crashes and reboots the phone, keep up the good work!

Regarding contact merging of Facebook and Google contacts in phone: you can do that by editing the contact, pressing the menu button then join.

I have a question on the stock camera app

Is it capable of widescreen photos?

Is the 720p recording the one where it says custom on the recording options?

TIA
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Has anyone tested OpenDesire's Bluetooth support with a HID gamepad? Is it possible to map buttons right off the bat in programs like SNESoid?
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
4% over 7 hours with no usage is good, that's about what it should be...
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
I do agree, but then a week or two ago, i had about 10 hours of zero usage and I had zero battery loss as well.
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
As mentioned many times in this thread, you need to update to the newest radio.

No mate, that's a known issue with AOSP builds.. the icon image is in the ROM it's just not being called.

Didn't know about the join option cheers.

720p is enabled by default when you choose the 'high' setting.

8gb sd card corrupted, had to format to solve the problem, but it accurred today again???
[Desire Android Development] subvertbeats:
Any ideas anyone?
[Desire Android Development] Marreboy:
That sounds absolutely incredible. No matter which rom I have used, stock or custom, around 1 % / hour in idle has been normal battery consumption.

I have not heard anyone with 0% loss over 10 hours in idle.. What rom were you using then?
[Desire Android Development] phunkycow:
" All you have to do is long press each icon thats messing up and replace it with the "Blank" option (no shortcut, no icon). After you do this THEN you can apply whatever you would like and it should stick. Thanks to the op for this (cant remember who it was). "

Quoted from here.

Only problem is I can't find that "blank" option myself :p

Edit: Yeah, he basically means "change the shortcut to Blank". Just to make it more clear.
[Desire Android Development] markrs:
Not sure if anyone else found this but using 3.10 with automatic light sensor on with the adjustments mentioned in this thread, plus having the battery meter in the status bar I lost 25% of the battery overnight with everything except cell turned off (I normally lose 4% using OD). I am sure this is a settings thing, rather than a rom thing but was wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:
With blank i mean the red xxxxxxxxx

Got it?
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Did you check if your optical joypad is working? 25 - 30% battery loss over about 7 hours is normal when the OJ dies on this ROM. Has happened to me a few times now...
[Desire Android Development] phunkycow:
Yeah got it, thought the problem was with the icons so I was looking for a default "blank" one lol. Didn't even think about checking the shortcuts first :P

Thanks for the workaround anyway, works like a charm!
[Desire Android Development] Milamber:
I sure did, as soon as I read your post! I was after a keyboard like the iPhone my fingers are to big for the closely knit keys on Swiftkey

Thanks for that, but when I press menu I don't see a join button??
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
@Adam- CMparts/ODparts/DFparts has the ability to change text colours. Is this information saved to a file somewhere? So that we could edit it to make the rom start with a black bar and white text etc.

I guess i'm asking where the default values are and where the new ones are saved.

Thanks.

(Cross posted in other threads too to try and find this answer.)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
There's an export-to-xml function that you could just use to save your values, and then import them when you reinstall. However, on trying to export I always just get an error :(
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Yeah I moved from an iPhone 3GS to the Desire and had the same problem. The thing with Swiftkey is that it learns what words you often use and which follow each each, so after a while you end up only entering a few letters here and there, and more just selecting the words that pop up above the keyboard...

Having issues with contacts sync on 3.1.0

A number of contact photos are not loaded from google.

If i delete data from contacts info and forze resync, the contacts data and photos are resync, but a photos are not correctly loaded (the not loaded photos not are the same in each iteration)

Howto solve?

Agree
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
Unfortunately I can't remember, but it was on the 1st of August. So 11 days ago - whichever version Adam had out around that time.

This is the post I made at the time with a breakdown of the battery use ..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7461019&postcount=5167

I actually believe the LED light could be the key personally - I remember when I had zero loss, the LED light was actually off - don't know how I did it either. Since it's been back on, the % loss has been about average.
[Desire Android Development] Milamber:
Sorry for all these questions!

I have contacts in my phone but they aren't in my Gmail as a contact on the website (www.gmail.com) yet they do have a gmail addy in my phone.

Is there a way of searching for all these ppl on my phone that have a Gmail address and adding them to my gmail account?
[Desire Android Development] ext23:
i have a strange problem (cross posted from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=751446 ):

any time i try to add a bookmark in browser it crashes and i get the following error:

I have cleared all caches and data and whatnot but the problem keeps coming back. I'm using OpenDesire 3.1.0.

this sucks cause otherwise the stock browser in android is really good!
[Desire Android Development] qualitycontrol:
ok, got it. btw, what's the difference bet the "High" and "Custom"?

also, is widescreen 16:9 photos not a feature of OD? and is the static-like border on the camera app stock? no offense but it looks awful :D

(just experienced my first crash, took a photo and immediately deleted it, it froze and did a reboot)

love this ROM, it's FAST! but i experienced a bit of slowdown while having the music player in the background and playing RoboDefence (addicting game :p) just wondering if this is normal.
[Desire Android Development] markrs:
That is probably what happened, though I didn't test at the time. In the end I turned off auto brightness and the battery meter and reset and the power consumption has levelled off but will now reintroduce them back and see if the power consumption remains steady and not precipitous.

Edit: Added automatic brightness back and no lose of power while it was idle, so it rules that out (almost certainly the optical joystick was to blame).
[Desire Android Development] markrs:
In your original post you said you plugged it into your computer, but I know this sounds obvious but did you leave it plugged in over night as that would be why you didn't lose any power, if you did unplug it then I have no idea, except would love to have that level of power consumption!
[Desire Android Development] mlilldroid:
No ringer sound when BT headset connected

Bug, supposed to be like this or is there a setting I can't find?

I have a SEM HBH-DS970 connected since this morning. When I receive calls the phone vibrates but does not sound the usual ring tone. Or any at all. There is how ever a ring tone in the earplugs.
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
This OJ problem, how can you check if it died? And if so, what to do to next? Hopefully someone is able to give me some advice, as I really love this ROM, but seem to be experiencing more than average battery drain. Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Move your finger over the OJ and see if it's working, ie you're able to highlight apps with it. If it's not then you have to restart...

I think Adam is working on a fix but it's hard to pinpoint the exact problem...
[Desire Android Development] markrs:
turn off or remove ad-blocking?

Is it possible to remove ad-blocking as other roms are stating that it is power consumer and would like to test with it turned off?
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
This is because your playing the game and listening to music from the same storage medium, try copying 2 files at same time to the SD and see just how slow it gets.

This is rubbish, the adblocking is just nullrouting the IP address of certain hosts, it has no system performance impact what so ever.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Just replace your hosts file with one that doesn't redirect ad-requests to localhost...
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:

[Desire Android Development] markrs:
Thanks Adam, as I know little of the internals of android I couldn't be sure if it made a difference but it has been removed from newest build of richard tripps, DeFroST for this reason.
[Desire Android Development] scaryzid:
Excellent work Adam!

12 hours since unplugged, only 8% percent battery drain. Incredible! :D

Everything seems fine, no bugs encountered.
[Desire Android Development] qualitycontrol:
why, that makes perfect sense. thanks! my slow ass class 2 microSD will be grateful. :p

btw, haven't really thanked you AdamG for your awesome work.. so THANK YOU!

at first i couldn't imagine a sense-less UI for the desire but now, i can't force myself to go back to all that bloat.

now, on the contacts note:

Google has just updated the Contact manager in gmail, and some improvements were for android users. I'm curious when it'll directly impact us sync-ers. ie, fetch the profile url of the contact to have it link to FB natively. AFAIK, currently they match certain fields (name, email, phone num) to get the profile...it's pretty good but there are still some that fall through the cracks. Direct assignment in the contact field would avoid such issues.
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
@AdamG

Could you please have a look in the bug where photos/videos taken with the camera cannot be recognised in the PC?

It is OK with CM and Defrost.

[Desire Android Development] subvertbeats:
I realized later that your apps might have been automatically restored by Google - think thats a Froyo thing.

Had that once as well, no usage at all the whole night (about 8 hours). At least that's what the battery % said. Doubt that really was the case. It returned to normal after wiping the battery stats I believe.
[Desire Android Development] fogbav:
Two short Questions :

1. Is there a HTC Sync function in this rom ? I can mount my SDcard - but i can see no sync function.

2. Is it possible to get a IP Adress over USB-Connection to the phone. I want to use Active sync and have to connect to my internal network in the office. WLAN not possible ...

thanks in advice ...
[Desire Android Development] troca:
Asked this before but with no reply. Is there anything that can be done about the slow Write speed to SD in this rom ? i get full speed on my class 6 sd card on the other roms i have tried. On this rom though i get about 1.5-2mb/sec kinda feels stupid to have spent the extra money to get a fast SD card when i get the same speed as a slow one.
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Do you guys know of an app that can pinpoint which app is using data? OpenDesire always seems to use much more data on my phone than any other ROM and I want to see what is using it...

3G Watchdog etc just tell you how much data is being transmitted, but not which app is doing the transmitting...
[Desire Android Development] Tenhi:

OJ problem

hello everyone.

Don't know if this help for an answer for the dead OJ and battery drain. I have OD 3.0.5 installed with a black theme and use Dialer one as dialer :-) but last night I was useing the phone (talking in it :-) ) and lifted it from my ear and then the screen activated again, after that the optical joystick didn't work and the battery was almost flat, rebooted the phone and charged it again, maybe the error is in when the phone comes back in a conversation?

/Otto
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
The whole point of custom light settings is that they're custom - I keep mine as dim as possible while still keeping the screen legible to save battery ;)

exchange email battery drain partial wakelock issue not solved

Battery drain with exchange account seems not solved yet.

I tried this. Complete wipe. Clean install of open desire 3.1.0. Add exchange account and wait till all mails, contacts and calendar are sync'ed. Then put the phone in airplane mode an wait an hour.

Afterwards you can open the battery history (spare parts) and will see the email app takes nearly 100% in the partial wake lock... the battery goes down 10% each hour as the phone tries to sync with exchange more than once a second....

It is a known froyo issue I hoped would be resolved with the Facebook fix.. :-(
