[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon1018:
Zedge ringtones app from the market. It is free. The best part is you can change your ringtones with the default HTC ringtone chooser. Also if you happen to change your ROMs it is saved to the SD card and after you install a rom after a full wipe, you can still pick the downloaded ringtones from the HTC ringtone chooser. Yes Ill say it again, even after a full wipe and flashing a new rom on your phone
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahjee:
Ringdroid will do the same actually, I don't know why I said all that lol, I was caught up on how I delete the lame default ones :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjCalvin:
ok, so if they are in system/media I can pull them from the rom and drop em on SD.

thanks guys
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdc4115:
there is no need for an app to install ringtones and notification sounds to your phone.

simply create a folder in the root of your sdcard called media. In the media folder create another folder called audio. Then in that folder make 2 folders, one called notifications and another called ringtones. once those are created put a ringtone or notification sound in the corresponding folder and once you eject it the ringtone/notification sound will be available in the ringtone/notification list.

your folder tree should be as follows

sdcard

|---------media

|-----------|-------audio

|---------------------|-------notifications

|---------------------|------------|-------notification.mp3

|---------------------|-------ringtones

|---------------------|------------|-------ringtone.mp3
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAtheistReverend:
Are there any requirements for ringtones I might make? Mp3 vs OGG, length, etc?

I have found that after placing an mp3 in my system\media\audio I have too reboot before the phone will recognize it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
I put them on my SD card under a folder called "ringtones".
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MOS95B:
I been playing around with the ringtone/notification/alarms folders (especially since rooting)

They can be placed anywhere on the SD card (I still use the >Media\*** tree for orginization purposes). I have yet to find a time/size limit, except for what I prefer they sound like.

I prefer the MP3 format for rintones/notifications/alarms, because rather than the file name, they will show the tagged Title as the tone name. So you can call the tone "ringer1.mp3" but in the (I use Windows) properties, you can setr the title to "The Wife's Custom Ringtone", and android will display it as "The Wife's Custom Ringtone" (just examples off the top of my head. I'm not that lame)

I just mount ther phone to the computer, drag and drop the tones to the proper folder, unmount the phone, go to the selector, and voila there they are.

Judging from those pictures I'd say it's one of the themes that are listed in the .xml's on teh screenshots where he shows the metamorphs.

it would be nice to have a free HTC sim unlocker, as im sure alot of poeple here would agree ;)

I search a little, and it is the last version of the unlocker.

If you can, go to look :

All HTC Free Unlock Solutions

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f98/all-htc-free-unlock-solutions-691746/

They explain how to unlock with the shareware.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aoakes:
i doubt its for the newest devices like the HD2. pm me if i'm wrong, so i can give it a crack.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Ryan258896:
that is the site i got the program from, i believe. i would love for someone to take a look at this prog and see if it can be modified to include the HD2 and newer HTC model phones. i would do it myself, but im not good at programming and wouldnt know where to begin. from my limited knowledge base, it would seem that the same procedure for the phone models listed above would work for the HD2 and newer phones also. this prog has RUU's that flash the info necessary to complete the sim unlock from what i read. although i could be mistaken and just viewing this from the wrong perspective. any help from someone familiar with app or prog creating/modifying would be tremendously appreciated.

Regards,

Ryan
[Desire General] retrodreamer:
Browsing the forums today has made me aware that the following could be an issue if I wish to root and flash a froyo rom to my htc desire.

When I bought my htc desire I wanted to stay with the orange network but avoid actually buying an orange branded (corrupted) phone - so I bought my desire from the carphone warehouse (uk) and it's supposed to be unlocked. I got it with a contract orange sim though.

It has no label "ORANGE" and came with no orange games/apps installed, but today I realised that I don't have the GTalk app and I couldn't find it on the market. I installed it from elsewhere and it seems to run fine, but was it being blocked in some way in my view of the market? Is my phone still truly unlocked or was it ever? I will try a PAYG sim from another network tomorrow.

The main thing I'm concerned about though is the radio. I've received several OTA updates since I got the phone. Could one of these have updated the radio to work on orange uk and if I install a new radio (as most froyo guides insist on) will that break my orange uk link? I read somewhere that an orange specific radio effectively locks your phone to orange and it takes a whole load of unrooting/rooting and avoiding OTA updates to keep it going on custom roms.

Is this the issue that makes rooting an orange uk desire a dangerous proposition or is it the orange branding / locking / User interface corruptions that is the issue? If it's the former, I'm locked into orange after buying an unlocked phone. If it's the later then I should be okay.

Many forum posts say "safe EXCEPT ON ORANGE".

If I install one of these new radios, might I have a problem with orange UK?

Current software information:-

Firmware : 2.1 update 1

Baseband : 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2

Kernel : 2.6.29-0cb9f166

Build : 1.21.405.2

Bootloader 0.80.xx
[Desire General] El_Zilcho:
Gtalk is on all Android phones, that's why it isn't on the market.

On all radios should be able to access any network without any problems.

The updates probably came from HTC themselves. The updates were probably to upgrade from factory to current. I got an unlocked HTC desire that's on 2.1 update 1 (exact same software information except the random string in the kernel field) I am usually on t-mobile but I pop it out for a orange PAYG when I'm in T-mobile blackspots.
[Desire General] retrodreamer:
I got some sms from Orange when I first got the phone telling me they were going to push some 'handy' additions to my phone and then I got some OTA updates.

Today I realised that GTalk was on my phone as a service but not as an app, which I read was how Orange branded phones arrive.

So what do all the "safe except on orange" warnings refer to?
[Desire General] retrodreamer:
Sorry I didn't see your last paragraph before. So if this radio works on other networks the warnings must be branded related.
[Desire General] El_Zilcho:
the 'additions' they send is just adding orange's APN so you can access the internet through the mobile network. This happened to me when I put the orange sim in.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryon13:
I know we have a way to move our apps to the internal nand memory, and that it's faster that way, but it seems like my class 6 sd card would be faster than the built-in sd. Is it possible to move our apps to the sd card (physical sd, not internal) so we do not bog down the system memory? It would just seem to make sense, until someone figures out how to make the internal sd respond faster.

My phone is just so...VIBRANT
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkdruggler:
We have 2 gigz of application memory.. No need for apps2sd... Not sure of the transfer rate on it tho... But apps2sd won't be as stable or fast... In my past experience...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temperbad:
Yea who needs apps2sd with 2 gb of application storage...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
^ Vibrant pretty much as its own dedicated space for apps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryon13:
The data storage is slow, and laggy. I don't think it transfers as fast as a class 6 sd card. I currently have my apps in my /system, but space there is limited. (did the stalling fix)

I'm thinking that my sdcard is faster than the internal sd. Maybe not as fast as the nand, but still.

My phone is just so...VIBRANT
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designerfx:
umm?

I'm quite sure that the internal transfer rate is probably way above the capability of a class 6 for a whole lot of reasons, barring any manufacturing defects. If you are thinking that a memory card is magically going to speed up a phone that can basically do without one, then go get a UHS card to feel better.. . I'd rather just have a 16GB class 6 for storing crap and peace of mind but that's it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmosh:
NAND is faster than your class 6 card, easily... the lag is not due to the internal storage...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryon13:
check this post. Maybe it will clear up what I mean about the speed vs space limitations.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=727279

I've used method 1, and noticed a HUGE difference in speed. If course, my sd card isn't going to be as fast as the nand, but in past experience (g1, mt3g) the sd card was faster than the built in memory was.

My phone is just so...VIBRANT
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] here.david:
I did a test on my Vibrant internal SDCARD and it shows as a class 6....

I set CPU to 1000/1000 very little differences in battery drain yet did help a little with "lag" I also deleted most of the bloat-ware, startup and shutdown files...NOW ALL MOST NO LAG except as listed below...

When from 230 to 90 mb free after 1st boot up (without starting anything manually) to 230 to 120 mb free after 1st boot up...

So much Samsung has running at boot up so that extra 30mb and going down to 100MHz causes the"lag" - BTW, I did not do the "Lag fix" posted just to see if I could get it faster without going that.

The only two issue I currently have is:

While speednet app loads fast it will not start for about 45 secs - is forced to goto Washington State server, whereas all my other Android Phones goto CA...shows CA 1,123 miles away from phone

The double - "Press power button" and "then swipe screen" to use the phone is VERY "$$##%" ME OFF
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryon13:
I have used Titanium Backup to remove the bloatware, but I haven't tried permanently clocking to 1000. I saw no real difference in startup lag in my apps, until I used the "stalling issue" fix. What format is the data partition? That could have something to do with it? Would it make sense to add a swap partition to the internal sd? I'm really wondering if there are things we can do to tweak the built-in storage to make it more flexible, and functional? I would think 16 gig would give us PLENTY of space to play with...

My phone is just so...VIBRANT
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkdruggler:
Are you serious? I have well over 700 apks saved to my sdcard (almost 800mb) as backups... Theres no way you could throw that on an sd ext4 and it not lag.. Even a class 6... We can't even get apps2sd stable up to 2gigz... Like I said before the way it comes stock is faster and more stable than any hack we can come up with right now..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryon13:
Nevermind. Found a thread on apps to sd. It's already being done. I'll go check that thread. They don't see it as a pointless effort.

Thank you all.

[EVO 4G Accessories] ckombo:
I just received this in the mail yesterday, and I think that it's worth $30. The battery definitely lasts longer. I'm only on my first day of use, but have had the phone on with normal use and bluetooth on all day (9+ hours so far) and I'm at 60%. Had I remembered to turn off bluetooth this morning, it would have been closer to 70% left since the bt accounted for 21% of total battery usage.

Also worth noting... The wall charger seems to properly charge the battery. I drained my original 1500mah EVO battery down to 7% and then placed it in the charger. It charged for approximately 6 hours. Normally, when charging it from empty in the phone, it charged much faster. I'm not a battery expert, and I also could be mistaken, but I get the impression (from reading threads and using the phone and previously owning an iphone) that the HTC software is not properly charging the battery and that is contributing to the miserable battery life right out of the box. Obviously changing setting in the phone software help quite a bit, but I feel like this charger and battery setup help significantly. I'm going to throw the fully charged original battery in tomorrow, and see what kind of performance I get out of it. I'm betting it will be much improved.

Apparently I can't post links on my thread because I am a new user. Just search ebay for chichitec and check out there store. I'm not affiliated with these people in any way. I just happen to be pleased with their product and figured I should share this for any other users that are frustrated with battery life on their EVO.
[EVO 4G Accessories] hd54321:
I just got it (though from another seller).

Figured it was worth the $20 to see if a different battery can help my situation.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ckombo:
I'm at 24 hours up time 3 hours of awake time and still have 26% left. Plus I've got two fully charged spares. Battery problem solved.
[EVO 4G Accessories] hd54321:
Did you actually get red batteries?
[EVO 4G Accessories] ckombo:
They're not exactly the same with the HTC logo, but they are red.
[EVO 4G Accessories] JaxDomino:
What are the eBay item numbers you guys used?
[EVO 4G Accessories] ckombo:
This is from the same seller for one battery and the charger. He basically charges $10 for each item.

http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-EVO-4G-BATT...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4aa320f7db
[EVO 4G Accessories] ckombo:
And I am convinced that the poor EVO battery life (stock) has to do with using the phone to charge the battery. I charged the original HTC battery with the included charger and I am at exactly 40% battery remaining with 24:37 up time and 3:05 awake time.

So much better than before.

That's why people are using the method from the forum where they charge their battery 10 times to "condition" it. That definitely helped me, but using this external charger is even better.
[EVO 4G Accessories] omegasun18:
Are all the people who brag about 24-31 hours battery time sitting with like 3 hours of actual up time for that period? if so no wonder i dont last any where near that i am usually done at 12 hours with about 6 hours up time.

I consider 3 hours over 24 hours to be very light usage just wondering if that is the reason why no matter what i do i ant get any where close to some of these peoples times.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ckombo:
I wasn't trying to brag. I was just happy to finally get what I consider to be a great improvement over my original battery life. I wish I had more time to use my phone that many hours in the day. Seeing that I don't, this setup works good for me. I know this isn't amazing battery life given my light usage, but so much better than stock out of the box. I haven't rooted yet, and I'm not very conservative with settings that drain the battery.

And to answer your question, yes, that's why your times are shorter, but it seems like you should be getting more. If I have a day where I get more up time, I'll post the numbers.

You must have root, then use a file manager (I use root explorer) and rename or delete the sound file:

/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg

I keep getting an error saying I don't have the permissions to rename those files... I'm using several different file explorer apps and they all give me the same message

Do you have root access? If so change the filesystem to RW or use Root Explorer.

I didn't know how to change it to R/W so paid for the App, well worth the $3 :) thanks for the quick replies
[Captivate General] sup3rus3r:
Still unable to find the files. I am using the default file manager with View Hidden Files enabled and there is no /system directory.
[Captivate General] decepticon:
You need to download a manager that has ROOT capabilities or you will not find them.

Easy with ConnectBot to turn off that annoying startup sound.

[Desire General] Wingzer:
Hello guys first post, just popping in to say hi and ask a few questions.

So i purchased an iPhone 4 on launch day (pre ordered) loved it when it came was thinking great better battery life nice sweet iOS with multitasking etc.

However to my dismay battery life can only be described as shocking, with no apps running in standby it would go down by around 10% an hour. Then i would get crashes whilst quiting apps. Then the final nail came for the apple shaped coffin during an iOS update (which literally just changed the shape of the signals bars near enough) my phone got stuck in recovery mode so i got it repaired and now am getting it refunded.

During this period I though that little green android fella is looking rather attractive so i popped down to my local O2 shop and bought a Desire for £330 on Pay as You Go (my contract sim is being used with it though).

And you know what I couldn't be happier the battery life so far is on par even though i've only had it a few days. The customisation is great, the screen isnt as clear but to be honest i don't spend my day with my nose touching the glass looking for seperate pixels. Oh and to be honest little rain drops and the windscreen wiper coming across the screen when it's raining is worth the phone's price alone.

Only one question is there any way to get the phone to wake up by using say the track pad button instead of the Power button?

So yeah hope I enjoy my stay here and hopefully learn a lot from you guys and hopefully help others. :)

Regards Wingzer.

P.S they should have a little android toy as a smiley :o
