[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
1+2 = Nonsense.

1 - Kernel

2 - Task Killers cause more problems then they help.

Battery life is simply a function of how much CPU time is being used, how much data is being transferred, and how much the screen is on. Poor reception is another thing to consider, in most cases it's one of the three things above. Of course there are other factors, like how much you're talking on the phone, etc, but it boils down to three major things.

CPU time generally is only a problem when using the phone, games, live wallpapers (particularly 3D ones), and sometimes bad processes or badly designed programs. You can evaluate all of this using System Panel in the market.

How much data is being transferred you can control directly by setting your sync settings, or if you want to isolate it completely, disable syncing on all apps and otherwise use the phone normally. If you have Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, GMail, IM (Gtalk/whatever others), Weather, etc all syncing, it's going to be a lot of random traffic. Setting the phone to EDGE-only will reduce some of the battery usage from this, but controlling the syncing itself IMO is a better option than using EDGE.

Screen of course is how much you are playing with the phone, and I think this is the one that most people have problems with. If you're messing with the phone all day long, yes, it's going to "eat battery", and it's going to be caused from all three things above. CPU from you doing stuff, probably network traffic from you doing stuff, and the power to drive the screen. Some people suggest using black themes or backgrounds. Yes, AMOLED uses more power to drive a bright white than an LCD, and much more power to drive bright white vs black or dark, but think about how much you're staring at the background.. Only on the launcher. Do you stare at the launcher all day? But perhaps if you're reading a book for an extended period it's worth it to set it to white on black, vs black on white. Sometimes you can't control this, such as the browser is (generally) a white background.

I'm no expert, but god I'm tired of hearing nonsense around everything "eating battery".
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamechamp:
I see, thanks 4 d advice you all :)

maybe the good way out is the Kernel flashing.

any recommendation maybe? which kernel are the best?

I don't want to downgrade my 1GHz clock though...

and URL is appreciated :)

Hi

I have been searching the forum for a LONG time trying to work out what is requered for the HTC CA drivers to work but still havn't found any thing making it work for me.

I have asked in a few treads, but never got and answer that I could use/understood.

Can anyone tell me which files need to be cooked into the rom to get the HTC CA drivers to work, or can anyone share theire OEMDrivers which work with the HTC ca drivers.

I'm sorry if i posted in the wrong forum, or posted something that has allready been aswered. But if so I havn't been able to find it.

René
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sunsetdk:
Not being arsy or anything, but I thought that this would be ROM development. As I'm asking which drivers to cook into the ROM.

But I can also see that this is a drivers question.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sunsetdk:
Anyway...

I have tried alot of different combos, both a varity of different DDI.dll and disptools.dll, change files in the XIP etc etc.

I really can't find a combo that will run the 3d drivers.
[G1 General] Blackman778g:
Well I guess G1's aren't dead after all, but really it is just the name because :

no 5 row keyboard

no dedicated hard keys

just a game equalizer for t-mobile really.+

In, all its the phone for us finishing up our old G1 contracts.

My next phone. I love G1 and I'm really looking forward to its successor. Froyo + Sense + fast proccessor + lot of RAM + full QWERTY keyboard = WIN!
[G1 General] adrake400:
emerald???

i wanna see what the emerald will look like supposedly its a dual core, 4 inch monster wit a keyboard lol

but this is def a slick looking phone :)

also, i want gingerbread :(
[G1 General] Blackman778g:
Emerald is still on the way, I'm just waiting for pictures to drool about how this new sidekick will look. I hope it has Mood lights around all four corners like my current Sidekick Lx 2007, a sidekick theme that can be turned on/off, sidekick sounds!!!!(drool) but they can be turned on/off as well.

Ever since my G1 started having screen issues I went to the Sidekick Lx 2007, I can tell its no Android, but its a phone that your supposed to showoff and a phone that gets it done... barely.

Oh, yeah Sidekick Lx + 1 to gettin girls because they love to use it so much, G1 attracted to much attention from boys,girls, and adults.

T-Mobile Roadmap in an attachment.

As you can see Emerald is still on the way... don't lose hope in T-Mobile just yet!
[G1 General] ArcticWolf91:
Yes, I bought my G1 specifically to hold me off until Project Emerald comes out. I cant wait for it!
[G1 General] Ace42:
I saw an article about the mytouch HD, I think it said something about the blaze
[G1 General] mejorguille:

nah, I just c/p'ed from a different site. These are the expected specs....
[G1 General] Bzerk1:
Oh man i cant wait... I really want to buy a g1 blaze over a mytouch hd, but not specs wize... if blaze is vanguard and mytouch hd is emerald. But apparently from leaked sources it seems to lean toward the mytouch hd to be vanguard and not g1 blaze.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Just note that MSM8260 is a ****DUAL**** core chip. Not single.

Irrefutable evidence of this:

[G1 General] lbcoder:
There ****NEVER WAS A "G1"****.

The device that you INCORRECTLY refer to as such is an ****HTC DREAM****.
[G1 General] GinoAMelone:
Gee. The box mine came in *clearly* says G1. In really big letters even. Maybe mine is a cheap knock-off. Odd, I bought it in a T-Mobile corporate store.

Hint, products routinely have multiple names. They're all accurate. They may not be *your* preferred name for the product. They may not be the name used in a particular piece of software. But, they are accurate names for the device.
[G1 General] odomandr:
exactly, i should also mention that the earth is round.
[G1 General] mejorguille:
The phone was first sold on October 22, 2008 as the T-mobile G1. When it was realesed in other parts of the world, it was renamed to dream. My phone turns on to a big white "T-mobile G1", not "dream".
[G1 General] Blackman778g:
Don't worry I member what he is talking about. Its just a joke.

lbcoder I member what you are talking about,

HTC Dream just sounds more expensive, G1 sounds cheap. :)

It's a joke people he knows the name.
[G1 General] raven_raven:
Hehe, when I show my phone to my friends and they see this "Era" (my operator) on the phone they're like "WTF phone by "Era"? WTF is this sh*t :D". But then they see Android and full QWERTY and they're like ":O". Then I say:

"it's also called HTC Dream"

Then they're totally like "O_O".
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Hint: TMOBILE IS NOT A HARDWARE MANUFACTURER!!!!
[G1 General] bunu:
Sadly, a chance for a 5 row keyboard with a 4.3" screen, 1.5 ghz processor and 750 mb of RAM is unlikely. Take of the keyboard than the phone with that specs is likely.

I'm trying to say that thanks to those big monster screens, the use of a physical keyboard is pretty much useless.

ONE MORE THING: Sooner or later, those G1/32B users will have to replace their phones. You cannot keep on saying "I'll hold on to my G1 until a true G1 successor is coming."

The G1 Blaze is going to be close to the true successor as it is going to be in this decade!

Also since this is going to be made by HTC, you can root it (in a few days after the release) and flash a custom ROM (a few days after rooting the device) since it does not have a F%#KING ENCRYPTED BOOTLOADER!!!

So if this comes with Sense, just root it and flash CM 6 (I'm 94390535% sure that CM 6 will be ported to this phone)
[G1 General] lbcoder:
No, the phone was labelled as HTC DREAM from the factory before tmobile ever sold a single one of them.

And then comes tmobile to debrand them.

Its like those stupid american car companies that buy good japanese cars and put their own stickers on them. Doesn't magically make it into a chevrolet since it was still made in a suzuki factory.
[G1 General] bunu:
Dude, grow up. A product can be know under many names. Companies re-brand the device or keep the original name. It doesn't matter.

STOP being a troll and just grow up.

Also it doesn't help your point by being racist. And from my knowledge, those american companies like Chevy and Ford makes their cars in factories THAT ARE IN AMERICA.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
A 5th row on the keyboard isn't important. What IS important is that the keys are aligned correctly with the 'q' key a half-key left of the 'a' key and the 'a' key a half-key left of the 'z' key. According to the pictures of this unit, the keys are properly arranged, which will make it a pleasure to type on, unlike most other moronic key layouts used on cellphones -- i.e. take a look at THIS moronic keyboard: http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_milestone-pictures-3001.php -- (ignore the apparently missing 'z' key though since the picture is of a qwertz layout).
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Its not RE branded, its DE branded.

Racist? Are you fu***ng retarded?

Really?

How about this: http://www.automotive.com/2000/12/chevrolet/tracker/reviews/index.html

.... looks an aweful lot like this: http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/1999-to-2005-suzuki-vitara.htm

PROBABLY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT IS!!!

GM too stupid to make a good car... buy one from Japan and debrand it.
[G1 General] bunu:
I really don't mind a 4 row keyboard. I was trying to be like those losers that want to keep onto the dinosaur called the G1/32B since phones either lack a keyboard or lack a 5 row keyboard.

Hopefully this will go to T-Mobile USA. When I went over to the T-Mobile UK website, I was pissed! The UK peeps have the Desire, Xperia x10, Pulse and even the iPhone 4. (Also on the android section of T-Mobile UK website, there is a part for the iPhone 4 :mad:)

And to agree with you, the droid/milestone keyboard sucks major booty.
[G1 General] bunu:
I still think that Chevy, Ford, and GM has factories in America to assemble the cars. Parts may be from somewhere else. It doesn't matter because Chevy, Ford, and GM sucks big time and they use a **** ton of the bailout money on failing even more.
[G1 General] jubeh:
I'll kindly disagree here. Having both owned a touch pro 2 (htc rhodium, since you prefer working code names) (don't mind the winmo, there's android booting on that thing too), and used a mt3g slide for a week, I found out that while you're right that proper offsetting of keys helps a lot for those of us who are touch-thumb typists, that extra row on the top of the qwerty (qwertz, whatever your flavor) allows the tip of your thumbs a little more extra movement, plus it makes typing just a tad much faster than having to press [Alt] and then the numbered key.

I mean, of course, Snapdragon, 3.7 screen (I'd take a 4.3 screen better, but with higher res, the 3.7 is better in terms of higher dpi), plus the hw keyboard, I'd still take it regardless of the missing keyboard row.

Go to your local store or ask a friend who has one to let you hold it, ignore the winmo if you can't stand it, just close your eyes and think it has android.

No current device from HTC has the very high end feel of quality (not even the Leo, which is arguably their top tier device atm regardless of winmo) that the rhodium has.

Best, device, ever. Just needs moar android.
[G1 General] adrake400:
after reading this looks like the vision or (G1 blaze) will the phone of choice for me :) i cant wait! and hopefully i can get this tmo job so i can save some moola on the phone!
[G1 General] Blackman778g:
Come on now, Play Nice!

Don't start bashing each other negatively, or putting each other down.

Let's just rejoice that we can now put out G1's down, keep them as classics, and move on to the Emerald or Vision for T-Mobile.
[G1 General] jaeX2:
anybody know the possible price??? :rolleyes:

The Tracker moved under the Chevrolet nameplate for the 1998 model year when the Geo brand was discontinued. Trackers are built in Canada by CAMI, Inc., a joint venture of General Motors and Suzuki. The Suzuki Vitara is built on the same platform. The Tracker was updated in 1999 with new interior and exterior, new 4-wheel drive system, and a new engine.
[Droid Incredible General] Honestly77:
Ok so i have the newest radio and flashed the ota. Camcorder was broken. Ok so RUUd and then did the whole process and then the camcorder worked. Then i removed some apps like city id friendstream etc. Camcorder became broken upon reboot. By broken i mean is that it opens for a few seconds then justs sends me to the homescreen. No FC messages...just politely closes it self. I have seen a person or 2 with this issue. I think it has something to do with either mail or flickr. Not sure. Don't have logcat. Any other issues?

Anyone else have this problem?
[Wildfire General] h4nz3k:
Hello I have experienced some problem with keyboard during sms writing in landscape mode of keyboard. The space key sometimes cannot be pushed even if I put my finger exactly on this key.

Anyone to solve it? Thanks

Sent from my HTC Wildfire
[Wildfire General] ghostface9000:
Same here but its the backspace that is not working.

Problem fixes itself when you turn the phone or close keyboard.

Already mailed HTC i hope you do the same
[Wildfire General] h4nz3k:
Problems with backspace I have too but the most annoying is the broken spacebar.. Another problem is that during sms writing sometimes does not work optical joystick... It must be some problem with sms application because in the portrait mode this not happen..

I know that it can be solved by close and open the keyboard but I am really pissed off when this happen...

Sent from my HTC Wildfire
[Wildfire General] ghostface9000:
Never had the spacebar problem before.

but indeed it can be very annoying.

Hope their is a fix for this soon !
[Wildfire General] atuin82:
I have these problems too: with backspace and optical joystick.

Could be useful if I mail HTC too?
[Wildfire General] ghostface9000:
Yes, why not ? The more the better.

I recieved an answer they say i have to calibrate the keyboard again.

But this has not solved my problem....
[Wildfire General] h4nz3k:
I calibrated the keybord many times and the problem with spacebar occured within calibration... This is weird...

Sent from my HTC Wildfire
[Wildfire General] ghostface9000:
Now they tell me to do a asoft reset first

and if that doesn't work a hard reset...

EDIT:

No fix for me

do you use qwerty or azerty ?

They told me the same... I think that will not help... I am using qwerty version.

About time I see that everyone has the same problem as me, Alltel thinks I am crazy. I just got my phone about 30 days ago and I took it back and got a new Wildfire because I could hardly ever use the backspace. It drove me insane. I am so glad to know that it is just a glitch in the phone. I really hope they fix it. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trieu:
i just flashed my ROM yesterday to OMJ EVO 2.1 Eclair v1.9 and found out my 4g wasnt working anymore..only shows up as scanning so went ahead and flash a new radio baseband version 1.39.00.05.31... the 4G still doesnt work how can i fix that? if i unroot it back to factory setting with everything go back to normal? or my phone cant use 4g anymore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaIV:
To fix the 4G scanning problem, flash the latest radio and wimax. This is also dependent on which ROM you are running and whether that ROM works with 4G (WiMax) or not.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3sm0nd:
Hi all,

I'm going to holidays soon and I want my Desire to last as long as it can... :D

At the moment I'm running Modaco r6 Froyo with Sense with the radio 42.52.00.32U_5.09.00.08 and battery drain is not bad, but it can be better. It lasts about 24 hours with mid usage...

The ROM that I'm using is not supporting the UVOC kernel so I can NOT use SetCPU to optimize battery drain... :(

So I'm ready to go back to 2.1 if I'm going to have a better battery drain!

My requirements are: it must have HTC Sense and the included Dialer/Contacts app (so please no stock ROMS)

And it would be great if my batter could last more than 2 days without charge..

Any feedback ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlgee:
All the SenseUI ROM's are pretty much the same as they're all based on the same source and have the same kernel, it's totally up to you which one you prefer though, I'd go for the one with the least bloat.

Also I'm using the same radio as you and get a very decent battery running OpenDesire.

May I ask why you don't want a stock ROM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3sm0nd:
I just love the HTC Dialer, Contacts and SMS app... and sadly they can not be installed on a stock rom. :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonCraddock:
Try the one shown in my signature.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3sm0nd:
It's based on the leak same as the ROM i'm using and you can not flash a custom kernel to use SetCPU to save battery. :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlgee:
Not going to get any OCUV on a leaked SenseUI ROM unfortunately, you can just install SetCPU and underclock the kernel though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanrich:
42.52.00.32U_5.09.00.08 works great on OpenDesire and Official Froyo HTC Sense v1.0c by OD team, and also LeeDroid v1.6, in my experience so far.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3sm0nd:
Hmm.. didn't knew that this will work! Will try the ROM that SimonCraddock said... i see good feedback in the thread for battery life.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mon@diac:
What's the difference between them?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
I vote neophyte 1.3
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanrich:
The first two I mentioned are very similar but OD is stock Froyo and the other has Sense.

LeeDroid was good but I had an issue that kept creeping up. Might have been one of my apps or widgets though because others haven't reported it. I just find with OpenDesire I have a nice clean, fast and stable ROM with no bloatware and good battery life, and I love the development that Adam puts into it...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PStephan88:
So for the thread-opener:

Use "Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM by OpenDesire Team"

It´s from the OpenDesire developer (think he really knows what he does) and it`s not full of stuff nobody needs. A clean, fast, stable FROYO SENSE...

(I`m using it myself)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmouth66:
I use "Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM by OpenDesire Team" with radio 42.52.00.32U_5.09.00.08 and last night I lost 20% in 6.5 hours with doing nothing. When I looked the next morning what drained my battery "Batteryinfo" told me the Android system. 3G was on that 6.5 hours.

20% in 6.5 hours, I don't think that's good...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanrich:
That's not the ROM, it's some or other application or mod that you have installed. I have experienced this same thing on quite a few different ROM's now and it's always related to something not working correctly with that specific ROM. Do some testing though, full wipe, install ROM, don't restore any of your apps, mods or widgets, and monitor the battery life over an hour or two with the phone on standby...

When I was on Official Froyo my phone lost about 4% over 6 hours on standby with 3G and everything on...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphagamma:
Any non sense ROM with latest radio. Did once 3 days with opendesire. Now I use cyanogen RC1. Also seems to be very battery friendly.

Be sure to use as little widgets as possible, I only use power control and retro clock.

If you want to save even more use the night vision mode in cyanogen.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmouth66:
Thanks! I now saw that my Twitter was updating every 15 min. Put it on 1 hour now. Will check again tonight. Will kill all apps first with the system info app and hopefully I will have a better result tomorrow :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pascanu:
Not sure it's true. Take a look at this one: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/312051/oclock-custom-rom/

(can't say much about battery life because I use my phone very intensive so I don't expect it to last more than 12 hours but it does seem better than with stock Sense ROM).
