Thanks guys for the replies...

Already had Cleanram installed and tried this theory, but did not work for me, and also tried the unticking sense in today screen, no joy either.....

Think i have just fixed the problem though, the only way i could get sense to load, was to

Untick HTC Sense (in Today menu)

reload cookies hometab (cookies hometab has been running flawlessly by the way since i installed it ages ago),

Then soft reset...

Seems to be stable at the mo...:D

Thanks for the info though guys...Keep up the good work

Once i update with the RUU file from HTC website it change my SPL to 1.76.0007 and just show a RUU screen.

Hi guys,

I have a few questions about titanium backup which I've also seen asked but not answered in a few rom threads.

1: If we do a backup user and system apps, what happens when we restore to a new or different rom. For example if the keyboard or another systemapp has been updated in the rom

2: How is titanium backup at handling internal/external programs? If I install a new rom which has google maps for example, whereas I had it installed externally before, what happens?

Thanks guys :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] templebar:
From what I understand, /system/app is not writable on Desire - so you can't restore any system apps, you can however restore all apps in /data/app
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambrospower:
you can restore them....data wise at least!!! my settings and data were restored when i flashed the MCR3.1 but if you flash a completely new rom i advise not to restore the system apps

Hi, im currently up for renewal on my vodafone contract, but with them not being able to offer a decent tarrif or give me an actual date for when they think they will be getting stock (been told approx 2weeks but nothing confirmed) ive been forced to shop around, ive been offered 500mins 3000texts and internet (500mb, is that enough for the desire?) and a free phone tomorrow so to speak from orange. I know from past experience with orange that back in the day they would fill there phones of junk, i was wondering if the Desire was full of the old orange stuff? or is it unbranded so to speak?

Cheers, Joe

Oh, i can however get a nexus one with vodafone on a contract that i could live with, is it worth jsut going for a nexus over the desire? is there any major differences between the two other than the sense ui? which is the main reason i prefer the desire over the nexus tbh.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
I think it all depends where you get the phone from. Orange, Phones4U and most Orange stockists will sell you their crapware filled, branded, crippled Desire that really is an awful experience in comparison to stock Desire. Thankfully this branding is pretty easily removed.

The Carphone Warehouse will sell you an unlocked, branding free Desire on contract from Orange etc. and they may give you quite a good deal.

As for the Nexus, it has pros and cons. It has Froyo, gets updates seemingly quicker than other Android phones, and has a uni-body design (honestly, it's not that much different). The Desire IMHO is better due to HTC Sense, more RAM and physical buttons which are more responsive than the touch buttons on the Nexus One.

It's your choice but I'd go with the Desire -- preferably NOT on Orange (they even give you a measly 500mb data plan [I've had the phone three months and gone over twice due to Spotify and podcast streaming] unless you pay another tenner and their customer service sucks) or via The Carphone Warehouse. Look around for the best deals
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_real_dj:
Cheap Desire offer!

Ive just bought one via mobiles.co.uk, it comes from them and it is a stock desire rather than an orange.

They have an offer on half price line rental for 12 months on one of them cash back thingys. Only had the phone a couple of days but pretty happy with it!! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickalicious:
The Orange phone is filled with rubbish you can't rid of.

I've just unbranded mine.

As above. Mobiles.co.uk i found were offering the best deals.

The Orange Network i've found to be very good, and the customer service again has been excellent

I came from O2 with an iffy data network and rubbish customer service
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
Orange have been terrible to me. They even got my name wrong on a bloody direct debit when my name is on the account!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickalicious:
I guess they can't get it right all of the time, I can testify to that on O2's behalf, they were crap for me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lennshow66:
Yea whatever you do

dont

go on 02, had a 30 day rolling contract with them.. took me 3months to get that canceled.

Im on orange now 500mb of internet is fine for me, i just do general internet browsing facebook etc. Ive worked out 500mb will get you 16mb a day. Mines from phones4u had no problem with them, just make sure you cancel all the insurance addons they give you (unless you want them) ;)

Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenithUK:
Sorry to sound like I'm fighting the tide but I've always found O2 to be decent, both for customer service and network. I've always managed to negotiate a deal with retentions that is comparable to the best competitor tariff. I'm kind of limited because O2 are the only network that get a signal inside my house. Voda, Orange and T-Mob are all low signal but that's because I'm in a semi-rural location.

In fact my local mast must have been upgraded recently because I started getting a strong H signal inside the house a few days ago when I ALWAYS had plain G before.

As for data plans, ALL the main networks in the UK are going to tiered data plans. There's no such thing as unlimited data any more, it's 500MB for starters and then increasing cost for more MBs (750,1000 etc).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
I spoke to O2 about the data and they told me it was only going tiered on the iPhone. I didn't think it was true but it was kinda interesting to hear.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenithUK:
If that's true then fair enough, but it would be sensible to keep an eye open in case O2 do change the data plans across the board. I took out a new contract on 22-June with "unlimited data". My understanding is that O2 are looking to review "unlimited" sometime in October. It doesn't afect me as such anyway because I tend to run at 200-300MB per month.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bouncer5:
Im on the same tariff and I got the phone from carphone warehouse for 2 reasons, Orange weren't selling it at the time, and it was unbranded.

The tarrif works fine for me (Managed to go over the 3000 texts :o, I know not to do to much with the phone on 3G, So it only gets used for emails using the net and stuff, I don't watch videos on it or stream or anything for to keep myself covered :)

Install at 3G Usage monitor for good measure
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
I am on the same tariff too. Mine is locked and a pain, just wondering whether to root it or not. Is it actually worth it? I am only wanting to do it because I want to change how many apps boot up to save battery life since all the apps take up 60%+ of battery power?

Anyway, 500mb is fine for internet usage, so far. I have 3g.Watchdog app so it tells me when I go over 75% and warns me when I get close to my quota. Just don't stream and use it for MSN and browsing when your out. When I am in I use the WiFi
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
I'm on a similar tariff, only with 300 minutes but with a free phone at £25/mth on an 18-month contract I'm not complaining :-p

I just use the 'Your Orange' app from the market to keep track of it all. Seems to work a treat.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bouncer5:
It does, but it doesn't give you a up-to date usage all the time, Im sure it states in the app minutes and data may be up-to 48 hours old
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeh93:
well due to the first few posts i decided to go against orange, just got off the phone from vodafone they hae stock but im on the end of the waiting list though it wont be soon before the phone is in the post, got the phone for free on £35 a month over 18months with 600mins unlimited texts + unlimited internet :) cant really complain!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topbanana4:
i'm on orange and upgraded through them. i got

1100 mins

unlimited landline

unlimited internet

600 texts

£25 a month for 18 Months
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoniemouse:
I got my desire on orange, i have debranded mine & got it unlocked.

orange have been good to me never had any probs with customer service.

By the sounds of it some of you still run the stock Orange app, any chance someone could back the stock Rom up an send me a copy, would be mucho appreciated.

Hi guys,

I like HTC Peep just fine, but one thing that annoys me is that there seems to be no way to remove the old tweets. So I'll end up having thousands of tweets in the tab. Any workaround that you know? Thanks.
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
disable htc sense

locate twiteng in temp folder, delete

re-enable htc sense

it will then get you to log in again, and will download yours tweets (however many set to download in the settings)
[HD2 General] dan138zig:
what a hassle. wtf was htc thinking, really? not providing the most basic feature like that.
[HD2 General] webpatrick:
Thanks, I was looking for that...
[HD2 General] Marct77:
I don't use Peep any more for that very reason,try MoTweets or Pocket Twit.
[HD2 General] guibirow:
you Don't need to delete entire "TwitEng" folder...

Try...

1-Disable Sense

Start > Settings > (Menu)All Settings > Today > (Tab)Itens

Scroll down, uncheck htc sense

Click OK (Top Right)

2 - Open "File Explorer"

Navigate To -> "My Device > Temp > TwitEng > Db"

You'll see a filename as same your twitter account

Delete it. (If HTC sense are open you can't delete file)

3 - Go to Settings and enable HTC Sense again

4 - Try "Update Now" on Peep to download new tweets

Ps.: If you delete cache folder, you need to put login again on peep.

Bye

[About XDA developers] idroid84:
Can I ask that users have access to 'delete their own thread' menu. I think this is a good idea because as I can see the threads get messed up really bad. I have created threads that no longer have any information in it that I think is appropriate and I require them to be deleted but it would be good if users could delete their own threads only.
[About XDA developers] NeoS:
I can relate to your case, since I too have had these thoughts. But using the "report" button to report your thread and let a mod decide would a better idea IMHO. There could be still info in there that could be useful to other users, and deleting it would lose that info.

UNLESS the data is completely absolete, I'd just lock the thread.
[About XDA developers] Demon_man:
more people should think about changing the title name of the thread, to having [SOLVED] in the title so it can be locked, because it can still be found in the search and gone through you just cant add more to it.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Prior to getting the Galaxy S, after I read what Samsung were saying in the manual of not to overcharge, I investigated the reasons and wrote in various topics on the battery and the differences between Li-Ion & Li-Pol battery types.

At that point with all the evidence found it made sense to believe that what Samsung were saying in not to overcharge was accurate.

Basically, at that time it was believed the phone used a Li-Pol, Li-Pol batteries are different in that they are 'wet cell' as opposed to Li-Ion which are 'dry cell' charged.

Li-Pol can be manufactured much thinner but can not be manufactured in different shapes.

This is to allow the wet cells whilst under charge which become hot to move around the battery freely. If a Li-Pol was manufactured in different shapes like Li-Ion it would create a 'hot-spot' in an area where the wet cell could not move fluidly around the remainder of the battery.

However, it has now come to light that this is not the case and that the batteries provided with the phone are indeed Li-Ion.

Anyway, moving on to the present.......

After now getting the phone and doing a bit of testing I have found the overcharging issue NOT to be an issue.

When you commence a charge on the phone the icon changes to a charge state.

However, once the battery has reached maximum charge capacity the battery icon automatically changes to a 'Non-Charge' state and then the phone simply runs off it's own battery. This is despite the phone is still connected to the charger.... It's just that the charger although still attached is no longer charging the battery.

As soon as the battery falls below a certain figure (I've had different figures ranging from 98% right down to 91% which is probably due to whatever the phone is doing at that particular time to wake the phone up from realizing "hey, you are still attached to a charger, now wake up and start charging again").

So to all of us who have been worried about overcharging, my personal advise is to NOT worry and charge as and when you feel the need.

Hope this helps.

Beards
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hassan:
Thanks for clear up, I was always been scared while charging that it may blow up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darksnarfer:
Nice find!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Morbo66:
When you say "it has come to light", what do you mean? Is it just your deduction from your battery tests, or did you see this info from Samsung?

From what I understood, the LI-Pol overcharging is an issue in theory, but in real life applications its not a problem as long as you use the charger that is designed with LiPol in mind, it will auto shutoff charging once it senses the battery is full.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] monzablue16v:
I have just charged mine from bone empty to full. A notification came up stating that the battery was full and to disconnect the charger. Although the battery monitor app says it is not charging and the normal battery meter has gone solid.

I agree that it seems to stop the charging circuit. Although I thought we were getting LiPo not li ion for these as well it's definitely li ion though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Take the battery out and turn it over. Now read the battery type and you will see it says Li-Ion.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hkfriends:
if such, it will reduce the re-charge cycle....

i suggest, power off the phone and then keep charge overnight will be safe....

otherwise, if it is on and charges only full then disconnect it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Modern battery's don't have cycles where you loose power by continuously topping up the battery.

The practice I use is I charge whenever I get the chance, then after around 30 charges I run it right down and do a full charge.

As to powering off the phone to charge, this is not always convenient.

I need my phone on all the time in case I get an emergency call-out and I'm sure there are others who need their phones on overnight to use as a morning alarm.

Finally, I'm not sure if the practice you mention in powering off the phone and charging overnight would have the same effect in being able to re-charge when the battery level drops.

I think doing it in your method the charger would continuously hit the battery regardless as to whether or not it is fully charged ~ which in effect is what Samsung are saying in not to overcharge.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
To me it seems like the phone will NOT use the battery as long as it is plugged in. On my phone the battery meter never drops under 100 % when connected.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
AFAIK, the reason to fully deplete the battery is to properly calibrate the % remaining in your battery. Running your battery down to empty causes more stress to the phone than running it down 50%. I happened to get a free battery with my device, but I would've bought a spare if I didn't get a free one, so I can easily go 3-5 days depending on usage, during this time I have my house and work to do charges. However, let's say I were to be expecting to have less frequent charges, such as taking a vacation, prior to that I would be fully depleting the battery to 0% to calibrate because then the battery level is more important to me. The trade off of long-term life vs short term accuracy is a very easy decision for me to make due to my situation.

In older batteries you had to "use the cells or lose them" situation where it was better, to at least occasionally, completely run down the device rather than doing partial cycles. These days, charging @ 50% 2 times is equivalent to 1 cycle of 100% with less long-term "stress" to the battery.

Same for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tenkom:
The reason it tells you to unplug the charger when done charging has nothing to do with battery. It is to save power. Battery chargers still draw some power just because they are plugged in. And in these green times it is ofcourse very popular to have warnings everywhere so you can claim to a green company. And every lithium ion and polymer battery contains electronics designed to protect them from abuse. Including over charging. So that will never be a problem on any phone unless you have a defective battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Joans:
Is there a way to disable the message telling you to unplug the charger? I charge my phone overnight and use it as a clock, but when I wake up in the morning and try to see the time there's this huge popup in the middle of the screen telling me my battery has charged.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I think I read that the newest, or maybe just a random middle since something has superseded it, firmware fixed this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gutsyheron:
interesting topic thx Beards for sharing your insights.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reycharlesconrad:
Overcharging - read the manual

Guys, if you will read the manual that came with your SGS, it says there that "DO NOT OVERCHARGE YOUR BATTERY FOR MORE THAN TWO WEEKS". It obviously means that the battery can be overcharged for more than a day as long as it is not more than 2 weeks ( I doubt if someone will be able to do that). So that confirms also that we can recharge anytime and not necessarily have it done to zero before charging. Hope this helps also :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i've pretty much quit worrying about the overcharge after the first month of usage

i was following the auto pop up message, just because i wanted to conserve battery

but having 3 spare battery made me though it's futile

and it was extreme annoying to wakeup in the middle of the night, just to unplug it

it was awesome the day i found that patch on the forum to disable the annoying pop up alert that your battery is full.

now i can sleep the whole night without the alert coming online, and rest at ease knowing if the phone actually alerts me, it'll be a phone call or something important, not some annoying "unplug me plz!" message
[HD2 General] alecs:
Has anyone noticed how the Opera browser provided with the HD2 doesn'r reflow text correctly when you zoom in or out on text?

For example go to the bbc.com website and find an article on the main page. Then zoom in. It reflows fine. However if you then go into the actual story from the front page reflow to keep all the cahcracters on the screen rather than you neededing to scoll left to right stops working. Then when you go back to the main page the reflow is still not working?

I have tried this on multiple sites and get the same result ! I also tried another HD2 and the same thing happens.

The iphone and Safari does this without fault. Am I missing something that I need to set or is my experience different to everyone else?

I don't want to use skyfire because it comes with different limitations. Is the later version of Opera (v.10) any better in this respect?

I also notice that there isn't a Opera Mobile 10 for the HD2 !? Anyone know where I can get this?
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Here is Opera 10 for the HD2. I don't have a problem with reflow on my device, but then again there are something like 10+ versions of Opera 9.7 floating about.

Have a look here for all the different Opera 9.7 versions, see which works best for you.

*Edit* I use version 35964, it seems to work fine for me.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Its dependant on which build your using......

the one on the t mobile stock rom was perfect.....

I just tried a cleanex rom and opera was not as slick as I was used to....

Im off to try an energy rom and see what thats like.......
[HD2 General] alecs:
Thanks for the information. I have a standard HTC rom and the phone is from the UK.

ROM version 1.66.405.2

Radio version 2.06.51.07

Opera Mobile version 9.7 Build 35627

I'll try downloading the latest version of Opera 10. Thanks.

Just one last thing. I updated my version of Opera so it could play flash with the Flash. Will this install put in an additional version of opera or overwrite the current one?

Does this version natively support Flash?
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
It will overwrite the version you have installed. I should think it plays flash, I am not certain as I don't use flash on my HD2 (I assume you mean 9.7), Opera 10 supports it natively for sure.
[HD2 General] alecs:
Thanks for the answers, I have just loaded version 10. Forgive the noob questions....

OMG, It doesn't have pinch to zoom !!!!!!!!!!! Reflow doesn't work because it is set to a double tap zoom and the text seems to left justify too much so the text is cut in half and you have to scroll over to the left! And the Zoom is way to high. I know you can set it to certain zoom levels but its one zoom in and one zoom out. Thats not very good in my book.

Also the settings available seem far less than there were with 9.7.

Also is there any way to change the default search engine from google?

Lastly, is there any way to set vibrate to happen when you click on a link.

I also went to youtube and it doesn't seem to play flash

Not sure I think version 10 is an improvement at the moment. Is there a thread somwhere that talks about opera 10 on xda?
