Will be taking a flight over the Summer for Holiday/Vacation - Yippee....

Anyway I was wondering how long could I expect the Desire to last when playing Videos, what factors affect video and Battery use (Codec, Bitrate, AMOLED backlight) and also how long have you guys played video before a fully charged battery gave up?
[Desire General] Macca2805:
Obviously you will be in the plane and your phone will be in airplane mode so your radios won't be sipping power all the time... this will add to the power life dramatically anyway.

As for bit rate you have only a few options. It comes down to the compromise of video quality and pixel H/W. You may be able to convert your videos to a lower resolution and save some more juice. I would, if wanting to save battery, also leave the backlight on half brightness as to not compromise the watch-ability.
[Desire General] sheka:
How long has anyone watched videos on their desire - 4hrs, 5hrs, more ?
[Desire General] cgrec92:
sounds about right, 4-6 hours i'd say if fully charged with airplane mode on

without airplane mode i'd say about 2-3 hours max
[Desire General] th3:
Additionally, it'll depend on the rest of the gazillion phone settings you've chosen too. So there is no fixed number we can give.

Lower brightness, H.264 vids, ACC 44KHz aud, and lower bitrate overall = lower power draw

Lower than fullscreen res (like VGA) also has lower power draw.

128Kbps aud and ~700-1000Kbps vid is the lowest I use.

I'm holding to film the takeoff when I go on holiday :)
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Actually, I've had 4 to 5 hours out of my Desire with the radios on, and still had some battery to spare. The video was encoded to iPod Touch standards.

Nothing changed apart from installing a registry editor (Mobireg) and doing the following...

The following registry tweak will enable almost instantaneous web page loading in the web browser. It apparently enables wireless N mode but seems to work with cellular data too. Go to:

[Streak 5 General] wondercoolguy:
I always like to throw this out there because I have a g1, mytouch, and nexus one what is everyones battery life like. I'm a heavy data hog text, gtalk, and internet. its how I keep my sanity at work.
[Streak 5 General] be_vigilant:
Im getting roughly 2 days out of a full battery. I am amazed by that as thats quite a lot of usage too. My HTC HD2 with less usage would last 24 hours if I was lucky.
[Streak 5 General] flumps:
yea, battery life is pretty good. 2days is about right. ive watched youtube vids/podcasts via feedr, web browsing/text/talk, couple of tv shows via rockplayer and from full charge get about 2days give or take an hr
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
yep same here just over 2 days for me comming from a TP2 and getting aboult 12 hrs from it, i am not used to this not charging every day :)
[Streak 5 General] wondercoolguy:
Thanks for the responses I can't wait to get my hands on this phone!!! (if its on tmo usa lol). The fact that I can go two days without charging is amazing to me maybe it's an HTC issue. G1, Mytouch, N1, and some one mentioned HD2 all having battery issues all are made by HTC....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bemymonkey:
Hi everyone!

I'm thinking about getting a Desire, but I'm a little worried by the fact that /system/ isn't writable with current root methods.

I know Adfree needs a workaround to work with the Desire, but are there other root apps that also have problems?

Are all Custom ROMs for the desire also limited in this way?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bemymonkey:
Bumpy. Nobody feeling the pain of only partial root?

Has anyone noticed problems with other root-apps? I take it things like Wifi-Tether for Root Users and MyBackup Pro/Titanium Backup work fine?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
you can only write to \system wile in recovery on the desire, most apps dont need write access to \system tho, mods to the framework ect can still all be done in recovery, backup software only need to write to the data partition too so they wont be affected lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bemymonkey:
Okay, sounds pretty reassuring :)

Guess I don't have to worry about Apps not working then. :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
ive got maybe 50 apps on my fone that need root and they all work :) if an app wants to make changes to sytem files they usually reboot into recovery anyway as its dangerous to change system files if there being used :)
[TG01 General] kingmaer:
Hi guys

I have a problem with my tg01. The problem is that when I ring someone the person on the other side can hear me but I cant hear them. So I was woundering if anyone else has the same problem and if there is a fix to it. Also if there is no fix then how do I get it repaired as the phone is more then 6 months old and orange wont fix it.

Waiting for your replys

Thank

Do you have SRS wow installed? is so soft reset after each install of the 3 cabs. Can you hear people if they ring you? Have you tried turning up the volume when you make calls, I think i had a handset that had no sound when set on vibrate/silent. When the volume was increased the sound came back.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gupta.keshav94:
Is it possible to change the name of the apps? Like I am having Merriam Webster Unabridged and Medical too.. But the two apps are shown as "Medical" n "Unabridged" which has moved the apps in the app drawer to different positions.. I want to add "Merriam Webster" in front of their names.. Is it possible?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
You should create a folder and put those apps in there. They'll be right next to each other. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houmles:
If you have apk of that app, you can unpack it using apktool (search on google) .. change it's name in xml file, pack it back, sign and install it to phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gupta.keshav94:
Yeah I know this but I dont want to create folders..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gupta.keshav94:
Ok.. Thnx.. I'll try..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
With FolderOrganizer you can customize the name. You go into the program, and rename the app you want. Then instead of adding the app directly to the desktop, you press and hold, and add a shortcut, a FolderOrganizer shortcut, then choose the app you just renamed.

You can also customize the icon this way.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gupta.keshav94:
Can you plz tell which xml file are you talking about.. There is one androidmanifest.xml file.. But I cant find where to change the name.. Is it the correct file you were talking about?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Really, give FolderOrganizer a try. It is a very simple way to do it. You are trying to use a sledgehammer when a screwdriver would do. :)

I think FolderOrganizer will be perfect for what you need.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
Hi,

Is there any way to get a logcat report of the phone without using ADB?

I'm on my work machine at the moment and it's doesn't play well with ADB but I need to get the report so I can submit it with a bug report (in VR12, when using an app or in a menu, pressing the Back or Home keys crash Sense and it has to reload - no process managers being used though).

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
I was once told about an app on Market called something like log grabber, log catcher, log fetch or something along those lines. Have a look to see what you can find. Ill try to have a look later if i can for you. Let me know what you find.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheReverend210:
Just had a quick go then, you can just type logcat into a terminal emulator. Not sure about outputting it though, you will have to see if anyone with more Linux experience than me knows.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
Thanks for that, I couldn't find any of those you mentioned but have found Log Collector and aLogcot so I'll give those a try now and see which one is best ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
alogcat works perfectly.

I've attached my log but will also post in the appropriate thread.

[HD2 Accessories] thesweeney:
I ordered a class 6 16gb card to replace the slow-ass class 2 8GB card I had in my HD2.

First of all I couldnt find the format sd tool in my energy rom (1st July) so I had to format the card using vista while the HD2 was connected in disk drive mode. THAT TOOK OVER 1 HOUR.

(Is there a cab file to install the "Format SD Card" tool for the newer energyroms?)

Anyways after formatting (Fat 32, 16KB cluster), I started to copy my 1.4GB sd backup file to the card using the same method as above (disk drive mode)....

My maximum write speed was 2.7MB/sec. Average 2MB/sec.

Class 2 speeds????

After restoring the backup, which took forever, I ran spb benchmark on the card and was gutted to get slightly lower results than the old class 2 I was replacing.

Can the HD2 make use of anything faster than a class 2 card?

Has anyone here tested a class 6 or even 4 card and found good write speeds (~6MB/sec, or ~4MB/sec)?

Does it sound like I have bought a lemon (class 2 labelled as class 6)?

I have spoken to the seller and he is adamant that they ARE genuine class 6. Reckons he tested some of the batch in TrueHD cameras which will not accept <Class6. Seems genuine and some of his feedback states that the cards are Genuine class 6. Which leads me to think that the bottleneck could be the HD2... Does that sound likely?

I'm waiting for a microsd USB reader to arrive so I can test the card outside of the HD2, but Until I can do that... can anyone tell me if a class 6 is wasted in a HD2?

The strange thing is that when browsing photos/wallpapers etc, the thumbnails ARE loading maybe 3x quicker than my old class 2. So I'm pretty confused about this one.

Can anyone shed any light here? Feel free to post benchmark results/screenshots etc.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Accessories] thesweeney:
can anyone PLEASE answer this ^^^?

Is there any point having a class 6 card in the HD2 instead of a class 2 or 4 card? :confused:
[HD2 Accessories] Demon_man:
there is a thread in the accessories section have a gander in there, I no this is Q&A's but lots of talk about mem cards in the accessories section mate
[HD2 Accessories] thesweeney:
Cheers mate, I'll take a look.
[HD2 Accessories] zelendel:
I will move this thread there. I also recently bought a Class 6 card and and have seen a huge improvement in media reading and over all performence.
[HD2 Accessories] kilrah:
I get 4-5MB/s both for reads writes with my 16GB class 6 card in disk drive mode.
[HD2 Accessories] thesweeney:
Thanks zelendel and kilrah.

That is exactly the kind of data I'm looking to compare.

Whith my 'class 6' Im getting just under 3MB/S WRITE and under 6MB/S READ when using the HD2 in disk drive mode.

If I use the card in a USB 2.0 reader I can get around 5.5MB/S Write and ~11-13MB/S read.

Based on this alone would you say my card is a class 6 or not. I'm beginning to think it may be a class 4 re-labelled.

Picture browsing etc is faster with my class 6 but all benchmarks indicate it is identical speed to my genuine Kingston Class 2.

What do you guys reckon, Should I send this card back for a refund???
[HD2 Accessories] ez2remember:
Well if you're getting 5.5 and over 11MB per second with a card reader then we can safely assume it's class 6. The bottleneck is something to do with the phone, rom, cable or simply the phone doesn't like this particular card etc...

EDIT: Test your class 2 card with the memory card reader and see if you get similar results.
[HD2 Accessories] thesweeney:
Thank you for helping me clear things up.

Comparing the 'class 6' and the 'class 2' transfer speeds is where I really get confused here.

Transferring a ~700MB .Avi to and from SD using a reader:

Kingston Class 2 8GB:

Read 12.5MB/s

Write 5.4MB/s

Unbranded Class 6 16GB:

Read 12.5MB/s

Write 6MB/s

So, from this, would you say its safe to assume:

1. The class 2 card is a good one, performing at almost class 6 speeds.

2. The class 6 card is 'Genuine' and shouldnt be returned.

3. There is a bottleneck when using the HD2 as a card reader/disk drive. I should be getting more than 2.5mb/s write speeds in this mode.

4? Does 12.5MB/sec sound close to USB 1.1 speeds? could my reader or even USB port (Vista laptop) be another bottleneck?

Once again thank you for helping me make sense of all this.

At least I now know that the 16gb card doesnt really need to be returned.

Can you give me your oppinions on the above?
[HD2 Accessories] ez2remember:
Well class 2 means you should be getting a minimum 2MB/s speeds and class 6 means you should be getting a minimum 6MB/s.

Seems like you have a very good class 2 card.

More info here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital

Your class 6 is performing to spec.

Personally I would never buy an unbranded card but that's me. A branded card may perform better than there class rating e.g. Your Kingston brand ;) I've always used Sandisk personally...
[HD2 Accessories] WhatBackHand:
I've just managed to drum up enough funds to get myself a HD2 and now looking to upgrade my HCSD card to 16GB. To get the "right" class I tried to find the spec on the SD interface but I cannot find anything and the best data I can find is that I shouldn't waste my money on unbranded devices, I would always buy a SANDISK device for something I relied on! For data and communication!

People seem to get appropriate speeds for the class of device they have, if they are branded and sometimes if unbranded. However, there doesn't seem to be anything better than class 6 results debated or given. Is it a VERY rash assumption that the fastest the HD2 interface can go is Class 6?

Chris
[HD2 Accessories] ilordvader:
Does this mean its not worth getting 32gb cos its a class2

& theat would make the phone slower cos lot more stuff on it

& will take more loading time & play Videos lagy ?

anyone useing 32gb ?

Thanks
[HD2 Accessories] Seiyoung:
My experience was positive with higher class micro SD.

At first, I used 8GB micro SD bundled with my HD2 and didn't notice improved loading speed. Later, I changed it with higher class one, same 8GB, with same manufacturer, Sandisk. Higher class one has name "Ultra" on it. Now with changed SD, loading became WAY faster. "Wow" I realized the higher speed of CPU of HD2.

My 2 pennies.
[HD2 Accessories] pathologo:
NEVER EVER buy unbranded memory cards!

Keep an eye on Sandisk cards only and even prefer them to Transcend and Kingston.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] distortion:
Sorry for an ignorant question...

I have 1.6 and installed swype, I enabled it in the settings, but when the keyboard comes up, it seems to be the default Dell one becasue I cannot "swype"...what am I missing...??
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] untrueparadox:
you gotta hold the text box area and wait for a dialog to pop up. then select input methods and then swype.

i find swype kinda hard to use because of the keyboard size. but its always good to have.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] distortion:
Thanks, Duuhhh....knew it was something easy.

You are right, the swype kb is huuuuge...was much nicer on my Vibrant.

I just wish you could dynamicaly select text on the fly by moving the cursor by touch like the iPhone...
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] fards:
Have you tried ultra keyboard yet? It will do tracing and a whole lot More!

Its also supports skins and can resize the keys as well.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] miker71:
I've been accustoming myself to Ultra Keyboard after using Swype the last few months and wanting "smaller" keys on the keyboard when using the Streak.

I do find the themes so far a bit uninspiring compared to the look of Swype, but haven't been able to find anything better than the Ultra Keyboard author's own themes ... not that it's a particularly big deal or anything.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] miker71:
having said that, i found 'adwone' and a 'pre' theme by searching directly in the market for 'better keyboard' - both of which i quite like.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Taha25:
The thing I dislike when using keyboards other than stock keyboard (1.6) is that you need to type in a separate window whereas the stock keyboard can input the typed text directly. For example, I can type URL directly in browser and get suggestions on recently visited areas.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] DMax99:
What about SlideIT? I found SlideIT quite good, the keys are really big. Is this Swype better than SlideIT?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Dogmann:
Hi all,

I have to say only just getting a new Streak again after having been without one for a month and using a Galaxy S instead i much prefer Swype on the Streak with its larger keyboard. I am just so much faster and more accurate on the Streak now I'm not sure if maybe i have a different version to the one some of you are using. As i was lucky enough to get into the Beta when they last opened it up and i don't have an apk for it I just get a link to the Swype site and it downloads a Swype installer and then Swype straight to the Streak but i still think Swype is the best input method by a long way.

Marc
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] ritacca:
Hey, can anyone help me. I've just followed that linked and install that file yet cant find swype on my phone.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] lufc:
Make sure Swype is enabled in the settings then keep pressing on a text input and you will get a pop up about input method then just choose swype

:)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] ritacca:
Actually I've manage to solve the problem. Thanks for your fast reply.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Dogmann:
Hi all,

I received an E-Mail from Swype yesterday with news that the previous Beta was about to expire and a link to download the new version unfortunately it doesn't come as an .apk so its not possible to share it. Instead you have to sign into your account and then it sends you an installer and installs directly on your Streak i haven't been able to really notice any differences as yet but if i do I'll report what i find.

If it is a closed beta, you cannot get it by legal means other than by being invited to be part of such testing. Any other means of getting this software represent warez and it is a violation of XDA rules. Asking for, or providing warez is not allowed on XDA grounds. Let this be your first and final warning.
