[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lude219:
x2.

My girlfriend has an iphone4, and a coworker of mine has the evo4g, and I really can't see myself using either of those phones on a daily basis. I like the minimalistic of cooking my own ROM, I like the idea of using whatever software I want, when I want, without having to fork over $2-3 dollars for it. Conversely, I want to be able to manage everything manually on my phone. I want to have the ability to establish where the cache is going to be, I want to be able to tweak and "mod" the behavior of the program im running. I don't want the OS to dictate that.

Basically it comes down to functionality and flexibility, and with Cookies Home Tab, no two HD2s are alike...which makes the phone that much more unique.

On the other hand, you could argue that the apps are what make the phone, but honestly, I dont need to further clutter my phone with countless sports score apps, food apps, or any of that junk. Everything basic amenities that a smart phone need are already available on the HD2/windows mobile.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
i jumped from sprint to t-mobile after the evo was already out. I'm not interested in android at this time and I'm pretty sure with nrgz28's cht ROM, it's every bit as smooth as the iphone4 and evo.

What's sad about sprint for me was the data speeds on sprint (3g). I was getting only 500-700kbps. I'm getting 2000-3000 kbps on t-mobile on hspa with hspa+ rolling out this month (according to my local t-mobile). So my speeds right now are similar or close to sprint 4g, then will blow right past them very soon.

Honestly, I don't get the jump to android, especially an htc device. Sense is very similar on both and you hardly dig into winmo anymore anyways.

I think that if you have 4g in your area, go for the evo if you are looking for something different, but if not, and your t-mobile coverage is good, you might as well wait at least till this fall and see what is coming out (like all the galaxy s and galaxy s pros). Not to mention there is some sweet spec'd wp7 coming down the pipe (1.5 ghz snap dragon anyone???).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabuk1:
customizabilty FTW! thats why i stick with winmo too. i can make my phone completely my own.

im sick of the whole "app store" argument too. iphone & android have oh so many apps... most of which are stupid games & frivolous bull****. winmo has as many apps as they do, theyre just not all organized in the app store yet. most of them are actually useful too. MS only recently made an app store cause googling for the app they want is too much work for most people & they were losing out to the competition.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeeeee:
why would you go from hd2 to evo when hd2 can run android too?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodybuilder27:
i'll stick to a Windoes mobile phone no matter what....dunno why, s'pose it's like a PC....no way would i change to apple (IMHO) s**T like that.

prob change my phone in 3 months, maybe even a year, but whatever it will be, it'll definitely be a windows operating system.

[EVO 4G General] DrawnToScale:
I have an Evo with stock OS. When I first didn't see any way of storing browser bookmarks into folders, I assumed I just needed to dig deeper. But now I've convinced myself that there is no way to create folders & store browser bookmarks into folders that are integrated into the browser. That really surprises me. I was able to do that in 2005 with WinMo.

Is there another version of the web browser that supports storing bookmarks in folders? If not - can someone recommend a decent browser that does?
[EVO 4G General] regulator207:
if you're looking for a folder in sense, then just create one. then create shortcuts to your bookmarks you want. then drag and drop them into your folder.

btw this should be in the Q&A section. not here.
[XPERIA X10 General] mauricius:
hi

here is really too many posts about wifi connection problems, but i cant find solution for mine.

soo here it is, i cant use connection trought wifi at home at my x10 mini, i can join to router (WRT54GL, security is WPA2), phone looks fine, and connected (it types: connected), but browser and market doesnt work, gmail app works, and download new emails, its littlebit weird ...
[XPERIA X10 General] mauricius:
really nobody havent any idea?
[XPERIA X10 General] naz78:
I know battery issues have been discussed over and over in this forum, but I have a question that I couldn't find the answer to in this forum.

I have an unlocked rogers x10 that's updated to R2BA020 that I'm using on Fido network, the phone is always roaming because I'm on Fido.

I'm thinking this is why my battery life sucks. I tried everything, task killers, juice defender, dim screen, full discharge.

Does the phone use more juice if it's roaming?
[XPERIA X10 General] Keegan_P:
Yes, but it doesn't make a very large difference. If you're worried about constantly roaming, take a look at android, which let's you turn off Amsterdam on 3G.
[XPERIA X10 General] j4mm3r:
Have you tried spare parts or something similar to check your battery usage? It lets you see what component is using the most battery. Even the Battery Usage option under Settings->About Phone should tell you where your juice is draining.
[XPERIA X10 General] Keegan_P:
If he doesn't want to download spare parts, he could just dial *#*#4636#*#* (did I get that right?) in his dialer to get to the same menus.
[XPERIA X10 General] vatis24:
Greetings,

Yeah will be more wise to check whats actually draining your battery so we will facts in front of us and try to find a solution.

As for roaming i think yes draining more battery, please gove us usage of the phone , activity and how much your battery can hold up.

Also please onform us what home you use.

I recomend home++.

[XPERIA X10 General] glitchexe:
I'm still having battery life issues as well on my Rogers x10a.

I was at 100% as of 12:00pm and it's now at 87% 5:00pm.

According to the battery info I've used:

Voice Calls - 30% (10m 35s)

Cell Standby - 28%

Phone Idle - 22%

Display - 11%

Android System - 4%

ADW.Launcher - 3%

3G on, WIFI off, BT off

No idea what is draining my battery so much
[XPERIA X10 General] tjex:
I'm on Fido as well, though I don't see a roaming icon anywhere.

Are you sure you're roaming?
[XPERIA X10 General] hondaguy:
2.6%/hr with actual use (not sleeping overnight) is not bad at all. a 4inch screen, 3g connected all the time smartphone will not get great battery life if you actually use it. many people talk about how they get a couple of days or more on a single charge but there is no possible way for this to happen unless you are barely touching your phone. the best i can hope for is a full days use as i use my phone all day and evening.

sometimes an app sits in the background and uses lots of juice, so if you want to make sure that is not happening you might want to do a hard reset and not install any apps for a day and see how battery life it. you can add back apps slowly so that you will be able to tell if one is causing your phone to use too much juice.

the other things you can try is not to use widgets that auto update all the time or try locking your phone to 2g for the day, turning screen brightness down to the lowest level when possible. stuff like that will help. since i updated to the r2 generic rom my battery life has been good enough. i could always use more, but i use my phone too much to expect more.
[XPERIA X10 General] glitchexe:
Thanks I use my phone a lot as well but hearing all these awesome battery life stories had me expecting more. Guess I'll live with what I have.
[XPERIA X10 General] hondaguy:
It drives me nuts too but the reality is that we all use our phones differently so while some people are happy getting two days of use by barely using their phone I just can't do that. I rely on my phone for too many different things, so if I can get through one day I am fine. It was a shock for me initially as I was using a blackberry 9700 and it had a very small screen and long battery life
[XPERIA X10 General] naz78:
I took my phone off charge 6 hours ago and I have 79% left as I type.

I did a 5 minute phone call, 10 minutes browsing, 2 minute YouTube video and I turned on WiFi for 30 minutes and Bluetooth for 45 minutes.

I checked the settings and it says:

Display 48%

Standby 18

Phone Idle 13%

Voice call 13%
[XPERIA X10 General] Đ!!!:
I've been switching options on and off for the last few weeks that I have x10 and the conclusion is => turn of APN when you don't use it and the battery last for 3 days. Only problem I can think of is mail push but you can always check mail every 30min. :D There is this "APN on/off" widget that makes switching APN on and off pretty easy so there shouldn't be too much problems.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
Doesnt make a difference here.. wifi and 3g cane my battery!!
[XPERIA X10 General] naz78:
Update:

I removed JuiceDefender, and I installed advanced task killer, and APN on/off widget and the battery life is much better now. I turn data off when I'm not using the phone and I kill tasks about 3-4 times a day. The screen is dimmed to 15%.

As per Android system info:

Up time: 1 days, 3 hours, 1 minutes, 59 seconds

Up time (without sleep): 0 days, 4 hours, 23 minutes, 8 seconds

17 % battery life left

I checked the settings and it says:

Display 40% (time on 2h 33m 58s)

Standby 29%

Phone Idle 22%

Wifi 4%

Android System 3%

Broswer 2%

Quick question for advanced users, I noticed that Android sys info says up time without sleep is just over 4 huors while the phone settings says 2h 33m, any idea which one is more accurate? I'm assuming up time without sleep = time screen is on.
[XPERIA X10 General] J48BLE:
Switch off GPS. I read about it and how it improved batteries. Bloody true. Its great advice.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Time without sleep = time screen is on

IF nothing isn't keeping the phone awake

.

The phone setting says 2h 33m because it counts the time that the phone was asleep AND the screen was off.

The real percentage is the one Android sys info gives you.

It is rather normal for the phone to have slightly more awake time that screen on time, as some applications work even when the screen is off (push Gmail, the clock, some widget etc...).

As long as your wake time is not 100%, you're just fine. ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] naz78:
Thanks for the info. Good to know that Android sys info is accurate, almost 5 hours of up time is amazing.
[Desire General] divvet:
I been flashing a few roms today, then all of a sudden when i plug the phone into usb my laptop is asking to install Qualcomm CDMA drivers...

Now i did a look at the USB bricked threads, and i FM Radio doesnt work (but i cant say it worked before as i never used it) and usb obviously doesnt work.

IF it is a brick, how do i fix? the threads i read before were some what confusing.

Oh im also running the 2.2 Sense ROM. Slightly edited by me which could have crapped things up.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Desire General] celticone:
I recently USB bricked my Desire, took me days to get it sorted despite following the guides to the letter. Can you access your SD card?

I ended up solving my problem by using a Vista laptop, which recognised my phone and allowed me to run the 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' command in SDK. Don't know why I couldn't get it fixed by using the various other OS.

Just want to check, has this problem made me loose my root? because the guides say to root the phone....

EDIT

i do have root, just installed ES file manager and i can go into the system folder etc... well im guessin that means im rooted?

im a moron, you can delete this thread if you want mods.
[Android Apps and Games] Beards:
Thanks to Chris Thorman of Software Advice for providing a list of 60 of the top Medical applications we see on Android.

Please note the software is firmly steered towards the professional market rather than the general consumer.

Having said that the material would be extremely useful for anyone you know in the medical profession.

Software Advice must be complemented on the hard work we see here in this list, determining which are the best applications as there are well over 1000 titles they had to sort through.

Read here for Chris Thorman's list

Also, here's another title by GoMLV ~ Cancer Surveillance

It is explained at post 8 below.
[Android Apps and Games] sck_2000in:
Thanks Beards for directing us to the website

and kudos to Software Advice

My favorites among them are

Medical calculators

Lexicomp complete which i believe includes Stedmans dictionary (atleast on the iphone it used too)

Epocrates

Skyscape

There's a Medscape app on the iphone which I believe is not available on the android , its a really good free app.
[Android Apps and Games] Beards:
What were your thoughts on the titles outlined for Pediatrics as I know that is your field of expertise.

I was very pleased to hear of this complete list put together ~ brought to my attention from out of a lecture I was conducting recently.

Looking forward to seeing titles develop as Android makes pace in the professional world where admittedly the iPhone has that very useful arsenal of applications... and a few not-so-good such as 'AcneApp' where a colleague of mine has written quite a damning paper on the subject and said application.

Whether Windows Phone 7 (which will be geared more towards professionals rather than the mainstream) can maintain a high profile will have to be seen.

If anyone finds any further material worth reading/investigating please chip in.

Beards
[Android Apps and Games] sck_2000in:
Beards , i could not try the Pediatrics app because most of them are paid apps and I can't download them in my country , but looking at the contents it looks really helpful with drug facts, drug dosages and redbook.
[Android Apps and Games] Beards:
My heart goes to you in having to cope with these restrictions.

I'm a great believer in that if a tool is available for the welfare of mankind it SHOULD be available to all, no matter what.

I suppose there is no way your local medical centre/practice or medical governing body could sort this out for you and any other medical staff?
[Android Apps and Games] bidurmarasini:
nice...

all good medical apps are hard to find ..
[Android Apps and Games] sundar2012:
Thanks op. And @ the guy above - **** you warez pricks. Get a job and pay for this stuff instead of stealing. Its one thing to want a demo for more than 15 mins - another to steal. What's worse though is that you can't even find warez on ur own. Pathetic.

Cancer Surveillance

if you are interested you can also check our new cancer related app: please allow me to desribe it to you. its free ofc.

check it in google play as cancer surveillance

This free app lets you monitor your own (or other peoples') cancer progress by allowing you to arrange and scedule the related appointments, tests and their

results.Place the appointment for any reason like cancer biopsy,mri,ct scan, blood cancer markers test, xray, ultrasound, mammo, meeting with doctor, results receive

etc. Choose your cancer type and record all the information relative with your progress and the therapy like chemotherapy, radiation, drug receive dates, symptoms,

surgery dates etc. This app can be used for any kind of cancer e.g.Bladder Cancer,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Melanoma,Colon and Rectal Cancer,Non-Hodgkin

Lymphoma,Endometrial Cancer,Pancreatic Cancer,Kidney (Renal Cell) Cancer,Prostate Cancer,Leukemia,Thyroid Cancer, testicular cancer etc. Arrange your

appointments and mark your next one so you dont forget. Then see all the past test results (.e.g cancer markers) and monitor your progress. The perfect app for your

cancer surveillance or treatment program.

Includes a predefined wide list of cancer types, tests and events types (e.g. mri, cancer markers, ct scan etc) and markers (e.g. LDH, bHCG, CA etc) available for a

faster and easier entry but of course you can add more. You can also monitor more than one patient's cancer progress. Its like keeping a cancer related medical file on

your device.

Finally you can set a login security password for data privacy if someone else uses your device.

thks
[Android Apps and Games] Beards:
I'll add this to the opening post gomlv.

What do you mean by we'll be able to flash it soon ?

Do you mean permanently flash it ?

Meaning that this works like fake flash at the moment ?
