[Touch CDMA Android Development] SuperJMN:
Unfortunately, it doesn't work for my Polaris. The whole driver installation process hangs while my device is connected. As soon as i disconnect it, it continues, but it then complaints about it being disconnected.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
mine hung as well, what i ended up doing was turnng off the automatic installation. Then uninstalled the adb interface driver that was already installed. Then turning back on automatic installation. Then plugging phone back in and as it was installing automatically, manually installing the adb interface driver at the same time. Eventally the automatic install would error out and the manual install would work. It took like 15 or 20 minutes for it to finish.

when i uninstalled the adb interface, it turned into ''android phone'' in device manager. That was the driver i manually installed while the phone was automatically installing. I know it dont make much sense but it worked for me.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kr4zyc1d:
It looks like that will be my fate as well. It also says, that when I do the manual install of the ADB drivers that I already have the most current version installed!!! OH well, keep trying!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] waterpolo:
Same behavior on my pc with windows 7 32-bits.

When I have lucky the adb driver is connected (working correctly) for a few minutes and then it's disconnected.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] armutyus:
i've tried various things to install adb driver, since last night :) but i've got nothing. i can't install adb driver for my xperia arc.

i installed sdk manager and usb driver. but when i try to install or update driver, i always see this message like "you're using the latest version". So i can't install it.

and also i've tried to uninstall driver and unplugged / plugged my device. then w7 automatically install driver. so i can't install adb driver again.

i want to root my phone, using this way at this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18805560#post18805560

so i must install adb driver, please help me.

thanks everybody

edit: i've windows 7 home premium, 64-bits

I don't like Htc Sense..
[Desire General] ryanrich:
Best battery life is Official Froyo by OD team, but it has Sense, unfortunately for you...
[Desire General] stewcp:
There is not clear cut winner... everyone will recommend a different rom!

Best thing is to try them all and see for yourself :)

I'm using SetROM 4.5 and it feels like a new battery compared to stock ROM...
[Desire General] zeusrazvy:
i hade leedroir djdroid official htc sense and the last it`s neophite it`s the best battery life rom the 2nd is the official htc but it stays 24 hours ,neophite i had at least 36 hours speak around 1 hour @phone 1 hour of gaming browsing and things like that auto update every hour i think it`s decent
[Desire General] cqyzzzl:
if I try a Rom. I will spend several hours to have a try...

It so waste time.
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
It may waste time, but its only way you will find out for yourself. Everyone's battery life will be different as everyone does different things with their phone.
[Desire General] jdebunt85:
i'ld say any rom with SetCPU will have decent battery...

i drained 20% of battery in 27 hours with regular (short) usage at work
[Desire General] hankhandsome:
i'm not convinced by setcpu. i surfed for 20 minutes this morning and lost 10% battery life ..
[Desire General] Daedream:
Set CPU

I found that with set cpu running on leedroid if I set any profiles then i struggle to work even though the only profile that is active is the screen off profile.

It's like the moment I turn it on it causes issues.
[Desire General] jdebunt85:
i've got it running on DeVillain without profiles & no issues at all so far :)
[Desire General] cqyzzzl:
I have tried setcpu. It's great.

just decrease 5% battery during night
[Desire General] schidddy:

Im using leedroids rom too. Can you tell me how you get setcpu working on this rom? Frequencies are not set for me no matter what i do..

Cheers

Currently running opendesire 2.3a , battery life is great!

Unplugged since: 4h25m...72% battery remaining.

So...battery is good with opendesire rom

[Desire General] nuhbiwan:
I'd recommend the HK-Test-Froyo by OD-Team.

Works great so far, and battery life is better than on other Froyo builds.

Where is this test Rom? Would search, but I'm on my phone and the xda app crashes when I try :(
[Desire General] dave_uk:
To all those using SetCPU on Froyo Sense ROMs:

It is doing precisely nothing for you! The kernel is locked and so you can't set the clock speed. Any perceived benefits are imaginary.
[Desire General] hankhandsome:
You know i've had a funny sense (pardon the pun :)) that it wasn't doing anything really beneficial for a while.

and when i started losing 1% battery for every 120 seconds of web browsing, i got more suspicious. uninstall time i think ..

This thread links to a "slightly" modified official HTC Hong-Kong Froyo ROM for testing purposes. In my opinion, best Froyo out by now.
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Ofc, there aren't any ocuv kernels for them, so if you set the cpu to max, its exactly the same, just constantly working at max.

Ahh, I thought you meant a new rom, not Adams FroYo Sense rom.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immensemorbid:
as corny as the topic maybe,

i need some help concerning it's "vibrator". :D

i've done some search but can't find what i was looking for.

so,

my hd2's "vibrator" died recently. the phone doesnt vibrate anymore.

but u can tell that its trying because the phone doesnt vibrate

but u can hear a slight click sound on the motor/actuator.

i've reflashed my phone to its original rom and spl and sent it in for warranty claims.

i'm just wondering how can the vibrator suddenly die. putting into account

that the phone has never been dropped before, has been handled with care, and it's practically new (date of purchase Jan 1st 2010). what could have caused it?

help and answers are much appreciated, thanks :)

regards,

edi

location ; malaysia, south east asia.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DN41:
does it even not vibrate when you turn your device on?

i would say you should flash the stock rom and bring it to the shop where you bought it...or send it to htc...whatever..

i think its a warranty case...

DN41
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immensemorbid:
i think i did mention ive done so.

flashing to stock rom spl etc.

just wondering what could have caused it :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artn3r:
i had the same issue. check if you "pressed in" the little glass of the led flash. if you do, the vibrator will stop working. i think its a design issue.. i sent it back and

they sad it works, because in the meantime the glass came out again... try sending it back for repair!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DN41:
uh yeah, sorry mate...my mistake ;)

i think i read it to fast :P

the reason...i think nobody can mention it exactly..

i would say its just a "normal" defect and it will only happen to 1/100000 devices or so ;) just destiny ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prime_225:

100 % Best repair solution

:good::good::good:This is the best working solution for your HD2 vibrator to work .

Just follow the steps on this link :http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+HTC+HD2+PB81120+Vibrator/5607/1:good::good::good:

, and YES it work .

Of course be careful (slow and gentle with your leo ) :victory:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] straylight975:
Nice disassembly tutorial, but in this case there is no need to replace the vibrator motor, it works just blocked by the plastic flash window. Pulling it out by a suction cup is a good instant fix but it is likely to be pushed back again. I faced the same problem right after buying my HD2, then I disassembled the phone, and noticed how weak the factory fixation is. Pushed back the window then fixed it with a VERY SMALL AMOUNT of 2 component epoxy glue. Stays in position since ~8 months. :)

Please, from where i can get a navigator software (Turn by Turn) with area maps like that one used for windows mobiles (Garmin, MioMap, ,...) THAT works directly with GPS and not GSM data network.

Thanks

Waleed
[Desire Themes and Apps] ClearD:
Try CoPilot ;] It works like a dream. Probably the most full featured, and it downloads the maps (via WiFi) FROM INSIDE the program before you depart. Saves them to SD card. Only uses GPS reciever, nothing else unless you tell it to (to check road conditions etc).
[Desire Themes and Apps] lawd:
I personally use sygic mobile maps. It doesn't use anything else then gps, although you have an "online" function. This is used for weather and traffic. Doesn't work to good in holland though..

But as a navigator sygic works like a charm on my desire :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] kien:
You download the full map for your country when you install CoPilot, it doesn't need a data connection after/when you plan a router (unlike Google Nav) as its already stored on memory card.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sector51:

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] raden2967:
Hi everyone,

I would like to replace the following parts on my GSM Hero: Housing (scratches/dents), Trackball (up & left not working), Front Speaker (distorted), and Digitizer Touchscreen (minor scratches).

Does anyone know of any good suppliers for these parts? So far I have only been able to find suppliers for the CDMA Hero and a supplier that requires a minimum of 5 parts per order.

The trackball and the front speaker are particularly annoying to use and they are my first priority to replace, the other parts are just cosmetic butI figured if I was taking the phone apart I might as well do it all at once.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. I'm located in Canada.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] immya:
hi, your trackball might not be broken...it might just have dirt in it. my trckball does that sometimes all you gotta do is spin it around a bit

you can get digitisers from ebay
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] raden2967:
Thanks for the quick reply! I spun it around for a bit and now it works in all directions! Now, the next most irritating thing on my list is the front speaker...crackles a bit during conversations.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] anaschillin:
Hi this website quite a few replacement parts of it.

http://www.globaldirectparts.com/HTC-Hero-Replacement-Repair-Parts-s/5502.htm
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] m0jo:
buying all that stuff might be as expensive as buying a new hero. The hero's price has fallen -50% since it came out. I'd consider buying a new one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] raden2967:
That was the site that I previously found but, you have to buy in bulk. The minimum order of trackballs is 5 and the minimum order of the housing is 2. It quickly adds up, maybe what I should do is start a Hero repair specialty shop :D

So to keep the forum and Android section clean, all discussion about Android games on the HD2 should be kept in here. Now to the topic itself:

There's some really great and stunning games on Android, and as the HD2 is now running this OS, and got some powerfull hardware, lets discuss by time, which games works and which games does not, for you. And possible solutions to make non working games work.

Just a little video to wake your appetite:

Game reviews

(My opinion)

Prism 3D

HD2 Compatibility: Works

Price: Free from Market Place

Describtion: Control a bouncing ball through the level, with the accelerometer. Don't fall off the sides! There's 25 levels so lots of game time. And even better there's a map editor too so that you can create your own game levels!

Graphics: Lots of colors, good level design, high resolution, very smooth. 9/10

Controls: Works pretty well, but sometimes the slow accelerometer respond feels a bit awkward. 7/10.

Lasting Appeal: Lots of levels, plus create your own! 10/10.

Conclusion: Great challenging game, which is fun to play and is free!

8/10

Winds of steel

HD2 Compatibility: Works

Price: Both a paid version, and a demo.

Describtion: Experience World War II's most epic and legendary air battles in Asia and Pacific theaters.From the attack on Pearl Harbor, and all the way to the bombing of Tokyo, take command of 12 famous Pacific fighters and bombers in a challenging 3D game.

Graphics: Fully 3D game. Low resolution, fine models and textures. 8/10

Controls: You control your airplane with the accelerometer. Its pretty hard in the beginning but you'll get used to it. 7/10

Lasting Appeal: Levels are very different, but gameplay is mostly the same. 7/10

Conclusion: A fun game, and really interesting if you're into WWII stuff. The demo is worth a look, but try that before buying.

7/10

Please write your own reviews!

Yes I managed to get psx4Droid working full speed like in FPSEce. But games taht works are only few. From my favorite 7 I managed to paly only Parasite Eve. Played it for bit. Sound is meh, but without it its awesome. Still FPSEce is so much better.

The black screen means that the game is not supperted (like mine 6 games = all blackies)

Also I get Gangstar: West Coast Hustle running nicely. Only whiel driving car by G-sensor it lags.

Here are a few games i would recommend with great graphics and great gameplay.

1. Heavy Gunner (spaceship shooting game)

2. CaligoChase (RPG game, didnt really play with it but it seems to be a good game)

3. Raging Thunder 2 (Of course)

4. Asphalt 5 (kinda laggy sometimes)

Here are some nice little games with nice graphics and are good to kill time :D

1. Tower Bloxx ( just like on the iphone but i wonder why it is a bit choppy here, i always wanted this game for WM!)

2. Farm Frenzy ( just like on Symbian and on a PC version)

3. Blow Up (very nice game with good graphics that requires you to set dynamites to blow up a structure built by sticks)

EDIT: Dungeon Hunter is not working. it just takes me back to the home screen whenever i try to launch it :-(
