I just bought a HTC TP2 battery charger on ebay for $5 and 2 1500mah TP2 batteries for another $5 a piece and charge one while I use the other. Almost never use the stock battery and get tons of life on the TP2 batteries. Easier than this bump stuff.

I usually just carry the fully charged stock in my pocket. Just in case I am in a low signal area all day.

hey i want to cook the shiped rom of tmobile and just remove few packages from it

is it dengereus ?

what shouldnt do when im cooking ?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
its easy, you quite literally double click a package to turn it off or on, and the worst that happens is your phone wont boot, so you turn it back on/off, and rebuild your rom.

(You will get REALLY good at flashing quickly if you play with kitchens, hehe)

to begin with, only mess with the EXT packages, then maybe later move on to the OEM ones, by qwhich time you will have a good idea of what happens when you do stuff. Theres no tutorial as good as actually turning a few things off yourself and seeing what happens.

As i said a min ago, you cant damage anything, the worst case scenario is you have to start from a fresh kitchen cos you altered something and cant get it back again. (I take a complete copy of my kitchen folder every few hours when im at a stage i know works.)
[Desire General] etismyname:
As titled, anyone else?

I am surprised tht all the other reboot problem is from overheat because my desire doesn't get hot at all...

As for my desire, not rooted, definitly not caused by apps because i specifically tried to use the stock rom (unbranded) and it still exist...

It happens when i start up camera, te screen will turn black and if i press power button quickly enough, it will turn screen off as usual, when is unlocked, it will go back to the home screen. If i leave the black screen for a second or not, it will reboot my phone (soft reboot)

Problem only occurs sometimes, no symptoms that show if the camera will cause reboot or not.

I notice sometimes that my wifi will disconnect, and when I go to view the network list my home network will say "disabled" under it. I can connect easily by clicking it again, and it doesn't happen that often, but it can be a real battery killer if I don't catch it due to poor service at my house.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
I get this issue a lot at work. I always assumed it did it because I'm usually on the edge of the WiFi network, and so after jumping on-and-off enough, it just disables the network.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
I'm glad someone actually figured this out. I don't have the problem as much on CM6.1, but it does happen occasionally. I usually just disable and re-enable wifi, but sometimes I have to completely forget the network and re-add it.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandon1108:
hey guys, I'm about to trade my htc desire for a nexus one and have read up on a few problems, and I wanted to find out first hand from you guys wether they're actually problems, or wether they are a load. :)

Which leads me to my questions.

Does your nexus one have any of the following problems:

1. trackball gets stuck sometimes

2. the on/off/standby switch has stopped working (or you have had to send it back to be repaired)

3. the touchscreen randomly stops working

4. 3G connectivity issue

5. Wifi problems

6. Proximity sensor sensitivity issue

7. earpiece: insufficient volume

and lastly -

Is there any reason why you would not recommend me selling my desire and buying a nexus?

Thanks,

Brandon
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It would be easier to have them numbered :)

1. Trackball - never heard of it.

2. Power button - never had anything on mine, but there's a good reason to believe there was a faulty batch out there - some had to exchange theirs.

3. Touchscreen - The issue is that it starts "missing" the presses, registering way below. Pressing the power button twice (entering and exiting standby) "cures" it. A real issue, happens very rarely.

4. 3G - opinions are split on it, reported only by vocal minority and only in areas barely covered by 3G, and only long time ago. Personally, never saw anything that could be considered as "issue". Actually, rather good reception and good data rates over bad connections.

5. WiFi - again, depends on what "issue" is. It's not completely flawless, for example, fails connecting to encrypted network w/ Cisco 521G. Haven't had any problems on mine, though.

6. Proximity sensor - never heard of it.

7. Volume - never heard of it.

To the last question - why would you want to do that? You have a device with very similar specs that runs very similar firmware. Froyo is already out for Desire, AFAIK, and that exchange would only bring you the trackball notifications and the future updates (Gingerbread). Is that the reason for you to switch?

P.S. All or almost all of the issues listed above would be similar for both phones, since they're almost identical.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandon1108:
Thanks for the reply!

The problem is that the there are only about 4 chefs cooking for the desire (and about 5 others uploading their own version of the 4 roms). And the battery life on the new froyo ROMs are terrible. I used up the whole battery in about 6 hours with 3g not enabled, and brightness at the minimum.

and there seems to be much more support for the nexus. (XDA support that is)

+ there are much more cases available for the nexus, I think it looks better, and I really love the idea of the trackball and how it can change colors :)

P.S I forgot to ask how are the capacative buttens?

Some have said they don't exactly work (you have to press them a few times before it works)

I remember reading somewhere that you have to press them a bit above the buttons and they work fine. Is this true? or are some devices just randomly screwed?

Thanks,

Brandon
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pzumk:
No to all.

Atleast I didn't notice
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChronoReverse:
Any reason not to just keep the Desire? The n1 is great but the Desire is nearly identically and slightly better in some ways.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
Ugh, I do have issues with the capacitive buttons. Like I said above, I envy hardware keys. It's not that they don't work, they just arent calibrated. You need to touch way above where they are for them to register. If you press the button where its placed exactly they don't work.

NOTE: I should let you know about all the cool things the Menu button does (second button with the lines) :D I just found out about the Menu button on my Nexus Lol!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I would do that trade and not have any issues at all. The nexus is The most active device right now and will be thru this year at least. Those problems you listed are not a big deal, the power button only fails for some people. Use track ball wake and you have nothing to worry about. Everything else is not really a problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
They're all screwed equally :D All the capacitive buttons register too high, so you have to press higher to hit them. At least they're consistent.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtl171:
not a single mention of white notification burn-in. seems common.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psypher5:
yup.

1. get stuck on going "down". kind of annoying but a spazz around with it fixes it.

2 yup, cant get it to unlock sometimes.

3, sort of. wouldnt mind it louder and of better quality. More depth.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandon1108:
:O I remember someone talking about it in the desire forum - If I use a black notification bar I should be fine right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logger:
Brandon,

Does your nexus one have any of the following problems:

1. trackball gets stuck sometimes No

2. the on/off/standby switch has stopped working (or you have had to send it back to be repaired) Yes & Yes gettting repaired by HTC as we speak.

3. the touchscreen randomly stops working No - used to occasionally before Froyo but not anymore

4. 3G connectivity issue No

5. Wifi problems No

6. Proximity sensor sensitivity issue No

7. earpiece: insufficient volume No

8. how are the capacative buttons? Fine, If you swipe them downwards in the opposite direction but the same manner as you would, to select the notification bar. If you tap them with the pad of your finger instead of the point it also a non issue. OTOH tapping with the point of your finger you just need to tap slightly below.

PurpleSmurfLlama

I disagree and do not think the majority of power button failures are due to poor maintenance. Is your poor maintenance theory just a hunch perhaps? I keep my phone nice and clean, no obvious crap beneath the button. In another thread someone who had a failing power button dismantled his phone an reported the power button presses a switch that is connected via a ribbon cable to a circuit board. No amount of cleaning these fixed it for him. Furthermore people who have had their "power buttons" repaired have reported that all these these items appear to have been replaced when they get their repaired phone back from HTC. Same phone comes back with new IMEI because the circuit board has been changed as part of the fix. To me this suggests that on the faulty units the issue goes deeper than just the button and a users maintenance of it. I am just hoping that the FIX is permanent.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blisterplease:
I've had my Nexus One for a few months now and I can't say I've had any of those problems, well my WiFi sometimes just disconnects, but I think that's just to do with the distance between my room and the router. As for button and trackball problems there's been none, even after a horrifying ordeal where a friend spilt beer on my N1 then instantly after in the panic I dropped it in the sand :/

The swap in my opinion can only be based purely on aesthetics, IMO the N1 is nicer, not being biased, the Desire is beautiful, I just think the N1 is more sleek. Hope this helps even a little.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Yes exactly, just use black color and you'll be fine. That white is such a horrible color anyway.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexusdue:
How about a poll?

1. no

2. switch is "soft" on the replacement I just received (was fine on original phone and 1st replacement)

3. no

4. YES! RECEPTION IS A BIG PROBLEM! AS IS 3G CONNECTIVITY (3 bars and websites won't load WTF?)!

5. no

6. no

7. yes

maybe add:

8. PINK screen - YES. Just keep asking HTC for replacements, screw them for their poor quality control.

9. camera color tint (blue for me) - YES. Ok for me ... but I made go another replacement binge if I find anything at fault with this phone.

10. I also experience bad call quality - got fixed by the replacement.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
1. Trackball - NO problems here.

2. Power button - NO problems here.

3. Touchscreen Unresponsive - Roughly once or twice a month. I put it to standby and back, and it's fixed. I've noticed that only certain ROMs do this. I never had the problem on FRF50 or FRF83, but I have once in a while on FRF91.

4. 3G Connectivity - NO issues.

5. Wifi - NO issues.

6. Proximity sensor - NO issues.

7. Earpiece volume - NO issue, but I have always had one of Pershoot's kernels installed, which includes an "audio fix."

I would have no hesitation recommending a nexus. Though, if you're a gamer, I'd say get a Galaxy S phone because of the better GPU.

[HD2 General] 7013d0:
Hello everyone,

Have anyone heard about some sort of filesystem extension to the Storage Card? I once read somewhere, that it could fool WiMo, extending the windows folder (maybe other folders too) into the storage card. I tried to google it, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone knows what this is? Or any other technique to extend the internal storage other than the well known tips and installing/moving the apps to storage card?

Thanks much,

Fernando

Work through Sticky threads 1 and 2 (Tipps and Tricks, Boost performance) here and You´ll find everything ...................
[HD2 General] 7013d0:
Hello Angelo, thanks for the quick reply!

Before someone yells at me that every noob should read the stickies and search before posting, let me explain that I'm actually looking for some light on this "filesystem extension" or something similar... I guess I should have written (already edited) and named the thread more carefully, since I'm not really running out of space, just looking for options on extending the internal storage...

As for the stickies, I already have them applied - tip 67 (Save Some Space in Phone Storage Memory), 97 (Save Camera Photos Direct to Storage Card) or latter on the thread (moving the bluetooth inbox, ringtones and opera cache to the SD card), I'm aware of them and already have them applied, but yet if we keep installing every nice piece of software we find interesting, eventually we are going to run out of internal storage, even with several GBs free on storage card, but I know that installing a bunch of stuff it's not the expected or usual behavior.

Thanks again for the prompt and polite reply.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
You won't run out of internal storage, delete My Device/Application Data/HTC/HTC ALBUM contents and the files inside 'Cache' as well, you can hold up to 20 meg or more in there.

Another idea is to delete My Device/Windows/Rings and just use your custom ring tone, message tones, if you use a decent file manager i.e. Resco you can uncover the hidden tones and delete them also, saving you around 8 meg or so.

My Device/My Wallpapers will save you another ~4 or so.

After flashing an updated Energy ROM I usually have exactly 38 meg of used storage, and after a few days of cache it usually settles to around 50-55 meg, I clear the HTC Album cache from time to time and it always keeps it well under 60 mbs.

I prefer to keep things on the internal storage (I mean system files, caching etc.) as it just seems faster than keeping it on the SD card, and it will also save you a wee bit of battery life as it won't need to keep accessing the card.
[HD2 General] troed:
Well then, since You already tweaked all possible items unfortunately this will be the maximum You can get.

Since Nov. 2009 - when I received my HD2 - I carefully read every post concerning int. memory and now with approx. 50 apps installed (all to storage card) I can keep the internal mem filled at 70% (approx. 54MB free mem).

Never forget: emails, sms, mms, contacts etc. are stored internally: the more You keep, the more mem is eaten up.

Since I use only one ringtone and only two avatars (1 x male, 1 x female) for contacts, no animated wallpapers and one selfmade background I deleted all other ringtones, wallpapers and anims.

If Copilot is installed on Your device move it to sd card also (PocketMechanic worked best for me to do this), makes up for another 10 MB of free space.

Enjoy :D
[HD2 General] 7013d0:
Thank you both for the reply!

Well, right now I have about 63 megs of free space in the internal storage, but there are still some apps I haven't installed after I flashed this new ROM.

A month ago I was trying almost every app - freewares and sharewares - to sort out what I really need to buy and which free apps work for me, but before I could test half of the apps and games I downloaded, I ran out of space. It wasn't really a problem since I was planning to hard reset my HD2 and then keep only the nice ones, but I decided to search for a possible solution and then read somewhere about this "filesystem extension"... But seems that I misplaced the bookmark and never found anything else on this... I guess it was some kind of scam... :rolleyes:

Once again, thank you for taking the time to read and reply!
[HD2 General] rumpleforeskin:
A file system extension to move the operating systems to SD card would not be a good idea, the performance would be very slow as access speeds are not good.

As for the htc album cache eating alot of memory there is the possibility to use some of the phones RAM (as the HD2 has way more than you need) as a virtual storage card or RAMDISK. You can move the HTC album cache, opera cache and manilla/windows temp files here.

This has the advantage of removing all these junk files everytime you reboot your phone and also making opera and the album run faster as writing cache files to RAM is much faster than writing to ROM
[General Questions and Answers] Cyberhopper:
the phone has locked me out, does anyone know how to reformat the memory, I can axcess the phone via the computer and my reminders sound but need a password to unlock it. so would like to know if I can wipe its memeory via the pc?
[General Questions and Answers] Mark Crouch:
Did you set a password and then forget it :confused:

You can't wipe it from the PC, but you can hard reset it (back to "factory settings"), which means you'll lose everything you've installed and any pictures, music, documents etc. on the phone (not the memory card). Have a look at this page for instructions on how to hard reset your device.

[Vibrant General] ohmyggg:
First of all, I love my phone and I love the stock Android browser.

With that said, I see two ways the browser could be slightly improved.

I often find myself managing multiple tabs in the browser (4-6 at any given time). I find that when I go to my open tabs (Menu > Windows), it's very hard to tell which one is the active tab. I think they're listed in the order in which they're opened, but that doesn't help me when I constantly jump back and forth between them. There's no indication which tab is active, and the fact that the font is so large and you have a truncated URL and page title makes it difficult to tell what's what.

Is there an option or tweak that allows the active tab to be bolded/colored differently, font size to be reduced, display to be thumbnailed rather than listed, or to arrange the tabs in a different way (ie; last viewed on top rather than first viewed)?

My second question has to do with locking the orientation of the browser to either portrait or landscape. This would be useful if I'm laying in bed on my side reading webpages. I'd want the orientation to "stick" to portrait so that I'm reading like normal rather than have the browser switch to landscape and have to angle my phone so that the accelerometer switches back and stays on portrait.

Is there an option or tweak to force the browser to "stick" to either portrait or landscape mode for a given period of time?
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
Browser > More > Settings and check Landscape-only display.

Not sure about the other question though.
[Vibrant General] ohmyggg:
Hmm, what I actually need it to do is lock into portrait mode, not landscape.
