so you turn on the phone for the very first time and use it on whatever battery power thats left. then use it to the point which it shuts down itself. now turn the phone back on again, and plug in the charger, keep using the phone but with the charger still plugged in. when the battery meter indicates "FULL". unplug the charger. and repeat these procedures 3 times.

Does this sound about right?
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
Yep but u repeat 2 times since u already started with the 1st one :D and then your battery will be maximized for some reason i still don't understand clearly
[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
Li-ion batteries have a few quirks. They need a few full charge cycles to get the full range of the battery. Then for the best lifespan you should top off the battery every day. Every 30 or so top-offs (once per month) you should drain the battery completely then recharge. Depending on the quality you should get 3 years or 200-500 cycles. The batteries continue to slowly improve.
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
I don't see what the big deal is about the camera not having a flash. I have the HD2 right now and almost never use the flash and if I do half the time I retake the picture without the flash and it comes out better.
[Vibrant General] Tyrant171:
Agreed. I don't think I've ever taken a photo with a cell phone flash that I was happy with.
[Vibrant General] moonrock:
I immediately thought the same thing (re: training the battery) when I saw this review. lol. You'd think that cnet would know these things, wouldn't they?!

Also clearly they didn't try to use the night mode vs a camera with a flash before whining that it has no flash.
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
Yea I hope more reviews come in the next 13 hours or atleast I go in my car to drive to T-Mobile tomorrow morning

[Vibrant General] siberslug:
It's a big deal for people like me that are out and about in the evening or even in rooms with not very many windows, in those cases it makes the camera almost useless because all you get is a blurry mess or a black screen
[Vibrant General] BigWorldJust:
When you turn on Night Mode, the camera quality is actually really good in dark situations.

[Nexus One General] rickytenzer:
Hey guys,

I recently sent in my N1 for repair because it was randomly rebooting. It's definitely a hardware issue as it occurred on many versions of Froyo, 2.1 and CM. I was under the impression that it was a written rule that rooted = not in warranty. I was already set on the fact that I would likely be paying $200 for a new motherboard.

Spoke to an HTC rep today to see what the status of my repair was and as it turns out she dealt with escalation, aka she was one of the "higher ups".

She informed me that rooted = not in warranty is NOT true. They have 4 checks for their warranty:

1) Physical damage

2) Water damage

3) Tampering with the warranty sealed parts of the phone

4) Testing the phone's integrity with a software "test"

In short, even if your phone is rooted, if it passes test #4, and the problem remains, it is deemed a hardware issue and your phone will be repaired free of charge. :D

I may be wrong, but this is what the rep told me today. If anyone has any confirmation negating this information, feel free to share.

All I know is that I'm extremely happy about the prospect of saving the $230 or so it would've cost me!
[Nexus One General] cmcm:
Does this also include unlocked bootloaders?
[Nexus One General] rickytenzer:
I don't want to set myself up here, but I'm 99.9999999999% sure that you can only root by unlocking the bootloader (aside from the tricks that have recently become available for us).

So, yes, I was referring to unlocked bootloaders as well. In HTC's sense (no pun intended) I'm sure that by root they imply unlocked bootloader.
[Nexus One General] bullyfrog:
Not sure about item 4

4) Testing the phone's integrity with a software "test"

I sent mine in and they wanted to hit me with a new motherboard. They were insisting that I had a third party ROM installed and when I asked for evidence, they sent me a picture of my unlocked boot loader.

Prior to sending it in, i had re-flashed back both my recovery and ROM to stock. Was even able to receive the OTA update.

If they did such a software "test", they should have shown that evidence to me instead of a photo of my unlocked boot loader.
[Nexus One General] rickytenzer:
Sorry to hear that. Like I said, this is all from the rep's mouth. I have no idea if she's being truthful, but that's exactly what she said.
[Nexus One General] bullyfrog:
Yep i hear you. Anyway you were very fortunate they repaired it FOC for you :)
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
Well we're talking about different countries' HTC service centers here. Could be different sets of SOPs.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
I have about 20GB of music in my iTune. Now just realised that my Samsung Galaxy S internal storage is too small for that. Therefore I think it must be stored on external storage card.

I've just downloaded a program called doubletwist. I have a few questions:

1) How do I turn on mass storage mode on SGS so that doubletwist can see it?

2) How do I tell doubletwist that I want the music to go to storage card instead of internal storage?

3) Has anyone of you experience problem when music is on storage card, such as skipping of part of songs?

4) Is it a better idea to scale down my music collection so that it fits into internal memory?

TIA.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mstrandbo:
Just wondering, can't you just copy the music files into a folder you call, let's say, music on your SD card, and start up the samsung music player? It'll recognize the files and let you play them.

Or is there any special reason for you to use DoubleTwist?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
I might be wrong, I want the iTune rating, playlist, and artwork to be synced as well. Will your method work?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishFan319:
There are things like the H icon, trackball alert, and 720P that I'd like to see as something I can push to a stock 2.2. Will this be possible, or will I need to eventually flash CM6?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Trackball alert is already in Froyo. The rest I would have to say never. If people freakout here about a H instead of 3g, lay-people will go insane. As for 720p, Google said never.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishFan319:
How can I edit color by program in Froyo?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I believe you can change these things yourself if you are rooted. Example you can replace the 3g icon with the H icon in one of the theme zip files, flash it, and now you have the H for 3g.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I believe that the "H" icon goes a little bit deeper, because it already is in stock ROMs, but doesn't show. It should be enabled in framework, which it isn't.

Incorrect Time Zones in World Time

I have recently discovered several incorrect time zones in the World Time feature of the device. All of them are near the GMT +5 time zone in Asia. The following cities are one hour off – some an hour ahead, some an hour behind.

Tashkent, Uzbekistan

Dushanbe, Tajikistan

Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

Chardzhou, Turkmenistan

Islamabad & Karachi, Pakistan

There are probably many others, but these are the ones I checked in a search to get the correct time displayed on my device while in Tashkent. This is very annoying and difficult to work around as I’ve found that the time on the today screen does not automatically adjust in most of the countries I travel to outside of the U.S. even if the network is 3G. I usually have to select the city as the default manually from the world time menu. This is not a big deal, but when I selected Tashkent, I discovered that the time was wrong. No problem I thought, I’ll just select another city of similar longitude. I can’t find any cities in the database with a correct GMT+5 local time. I can change the time of any selected city, but this changes the displayed time of ALL cities.

I have installed KB975353 which I believe to be the most recent Windows Mobile daylight savings time update from Microsoft.

Any help?

Thanks,

Dave

FIX

It's an issue with the HTC World Clock... not with the android system timezones.

You will need to extract these files from your phone, which you can do only if you are rooted, with ES File Explorer (or another root explorer):

- /data/data/com.htc.provider.weather/files/WP_0409WWE.db

- /etc/WPDB.zip (then extract another WP_0409WWE.db file inside)

You will then have to open and edit them using SQ Lite Database Browser:

Just make sure that the timezone indicated for Bishkek is Asia/Yekaterinburg and the timezone indicated for Dushanbe and Tashkent is Asia/Karachi.

For some reason HTC mixed them up...

Once you edited and saved the files, zipping the second one back in, you'll need to push them both back to your phone, to the same folders.

Make a backup of original files, you never know...

Now the world clock and clock / weather widget should have the right time!! :)

One issue remains, if you leave it up to the network to determine local time settings, so uncheck that box. Still looking for a solution on this one...

It is not an issue with system time zones (/system/usr/share/zoneinfo/) but you can double check if the latest files are there. Others have posted on this.

Cheers!

So, my dad used to use the Trinity as his everyday work phone, until he saw my Nexus One. Now that he's got the N1, all the accessories he had are incompatible, and need to be sold!

FOR SALE:

One HTC P3600 PRO (Trinity) in black.

The phone is certainly in a used state. It's not broken or anything; everything functional on the phone still works, but the case shows obvious wear from going in/out of the car dock constantly. Bundled with the phone are the user manual, the "Getting Started" disk (CD is unopened), and all assorted documentation (if you want it.), the European-style wall charger (with U.S. adapter), and the original MiniUSB-StandardUSB cable. Spare battery for an extra $10 or something.

Paserro charger/dock.

This device will charge your phone (only if it's the Trinity), connect it to the computer, and charge a spare battery, all at the same time. It's a nice dock that holds the phone upright and securely.

MiniUSB Car Charger

Belt Case from HTC

This case was designed for the Trinity and is made by HTC themselves, so you know you're getting only the best. It's used, but there's nothing wrong with it.

ProclipUSA Car Dock

This car dock is absolutely the best available, hands down. You can find it on the manufactures website here. This is, besides the phone, easily the coolest thing in the lot. Their docks are a two part system (This is ONLY the device specific part. You need a vehicle specific part from their website!!!) that allows you to mount your device to your car seamlessly. This is Proclips highest grade car dock, with an integrated charger that can be wired behind the panels of your car so there are no exposed wires. It is practically invisible when you get it set up properly.

I'd like to sell this pretty much as one lot. If you want an individual item, we'll work something out. Please, don't post bids here. PM me with your offers, or email me for super-fast reply.

Thanks for reading! :)
[P3600 Accessories] Zak Jones!:
Soooo, yeah.

BUMP.

'cause this is still for sale.

i wanna remap my x-panel button to the start menu (right now its to the task manager)

how do i do this?

either that or how can i change the default left softkey button, i have it set to the start menu but the left softkey on the screen still shows something else. is it possible to change the default from "phone" to startmenu since we already have a phone-on button
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williyung:
Depend on the rom you're using.

To re-map the X-Panel button to Start menu:

[HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager]

ApplicationName = \Startmenue\skey.exe

That's I assume the skey.exe is already cooked in the rom
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonDizzurp:
well im using 826x rom right now, i found out how to change the value for the softkey atleast.. and ill keep the taskmanager linked to the x-panel button since its pretty handy..

"HomeLSKPath"=

i changed the text to "Start" but i need to get the path now, ill try "skey.exe"

im using the latest test version, really like it.. it has some lockups now and then, usually when in landscape or when recieving a call..thought id let you know since its still in testing

I live in a 4g area (chicago), yet there are spots where either there is no 4g, or the signal is just bad. When I walk through these areas, my evo does not switch to 3g, instead it gets nothing. Anyone have a similar problem and/or know a fix for this? Another example is when I go to some suburbs that definitely do have 3g, but do not have 4g, I don't get data at all. I am running stock evo right now.
[Droid Incredible General] luvit:
i have an incredible. i spent days on end to figure out which root effort paid off.

once rooted, i found the filesystem was read only.

i have my eye on some nice roms you all have created, but they all seem to have their own little quirks.

for now, i would be estatic to get a stock ROM with read/write FS so i can screw it up all by myself.

does a stock ROM for incredible with r/w FS exist?

is it possible?
[Droid Incredible General] binny1007:
It's only possible through recovery as of right now.
[Droid Incredible General] luvit:
i understand an incredible;s stock OS is limited to recovery, but i was hoping to hear you guys have superpowers to edit a ROM in other ways i am unfamiliar with. :p

lol thanks.
[Droid Incredible General] taypotts:
We don't have NAND root access yet. Root Explorer is what you can use for R/W access, but when you go to mount the system again it will reboot... meaning we need NAND root. haha
[Droid Incredible General] luvit:
ah thanks. i didn't know what nand meant until now. i have much to learn with no time. i;ll hang in there until cm6 seems flawless. d:

ultimately, i'm aiming for vpnc to work on my incredible.

it's the only vpn app that i can use with my employer.
[Droid Incredible General] rpearl:
Here's a clarification I posted in another thread like this:

You have superuser access on your phone, that means you have root.

An additional level of protection that HTC has added to their phones is a NAND-flash chip which is locked by a memory protection unit. This is below the OS level, and thus below superuser. You can still have full root access to your phone, and not have access to this chip. The reflash tool unlocks NAND and reflashes the recovery partition.

The only way to unlock this at the hardware level is an exploit, or by changing hboot such that it does not initiate the NAND protection. We are still hesitant to flash hboot. If you mess up reflashing recovery, you have an unlimited number of chances to get it right. If you mess up reflashing hboot, you have a permanent brick.

Thus, since the recovery partition is protected by this hardware-level memory protection unit, ROM manager cannot reflash the recovery partition. You people seem to say that this is "not fully rooted" so "it is not sticking". Whatever. Yes, it won't "stick". No, this doesn't actually matter. You get *precisely* the same effect by updating in ROM manager. If there is a critical update that requires flashing, we will make sure that our users obtain this update.

Note that you don't need this for vpn as far as I know--you just need a kernel that supports it. I could be wrong on this.
[Droid Incredible General] stylez:
Moved as not Development.
[Droid Incredible General] luvit:
thanks, rpearl. i want to rephrase this so that you can verify i understand correctly:

even if i flash with CM6, i may still not have permanent r/w permissions due to NAND will still reflash the CM6 recovery partition.
[Droid Incredible General] PyRo_DuDe:
Correct. While you still have "full root" access, and you have ClockworkModRecovery available, you're able to flash new roms. There is not currently a way to unlock NAND protection which would allow you to delete system files. Which is really alright, because the safest way to not brick your phone is to do all your testing on your computer via emulator.

If you want to dig in and start deleting apps, please do it in the kitchen, cooking up your own rom. And don't share it until you know it won't ruin phones. :P

[Desire Themes and Apps] fatpandas:
I'm fairly new to the android circle so please forgive me if I'm missing something obvious.

My phone did not come with the Japanese locale and i want to install it. I have seen many language packs on the market but nothing for Japanese. Not even sure if it's the same thing. I am quite sure a Japanese Locale is available as it is in the 2.1 SDK. How would i go about getting it on my phone?

Thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] waynecw:
What you need exactly? If you need the keyboard input, search for OpenWnn plus, it provides you the ability to input Japanese text. If you need the locale language, I think it is the ROM providing that (I also not very sure).
[Desire Themes and Apps] zafy:
need japanese ui?

so, please install morelocale2 on the market
[Desire Themes and Apps] win_1be:
I recommand you Simeji if you need a Japanese imput software, it's quite easy to use, and provides different keyboad layers...

if you need japanese UI, i can't help you but i'm pretty sure you can find some japanese rom on the web.
[Desire Themes and Apps] flyer3:
For the ui I would recommend MoreLocale2 from the market like zafy said. My parents use it for Chinese and it's great. I have also taken the time to look through the Japanese locale just to make sure it's all good as some users on the market are saying that theres some English bits left over. I can confirm that it works great on Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM 1.0c. The sense ui is also translated.

Hope that helps :)
