Can you share with us which charger you are using, we might be interested in buying some for ourselves too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] longsolong:
Sure!

This is it,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270612086257&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

So far so good, I've been charging my TP2 for the last hour and seems to work good. The 4 lights displaying 100,75,50 and 25% are a great help as this tells me when to charge the internal battery. It also has a built in flashlight that I probably won't use but still nice to have. I can't wait to try it on my iPAQ 6925.If anyone has any questions, please post or message me.

Giovanni
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] YOSEFE:
Thank you for the link.

Will read around it, and thanks for sharing your observation so far.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] longsolong:
YOSEFE ,

You're welcomed!

So far I've noticed that it take about 5 minutes to charge 1 milliamp on my TP2.

This is not great but definitely serviceable if you're on a plane or hiking without a power source.

One hour of charging took the internal battery from 100% to 75% so I'm guessing that the unit can provide around 4 hours of charge time on a full charge and can bring a TP2 from 50% to 100% before the battery completely discharges.

These are just very crude estimations on my part and where done on a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 and with no light hitting the solar panel while the internal battery was charging my TP2 so results will vary per device and conditions.

Also, with the wide assortment of adapters provided by the company I was able to test the solar charger on my iPAQ 3970 and 6315.

I know there are better chargers out there but with what I paid for my unit I'm VERY satisfied with it and would recommend it.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] stevedebi:
5V is standard USB ouput, that should work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] longsolong:
Thank you stevedebi,

I'm using 4.5 volts right now and the charger seems to be working fine. Scared to cook my iPAQ 6925 and TP2 so I figure longer charge time at 4.5 volts is worth it.

Giovanni
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] worwig:
I have a charger that is very much like that, with no solar. It has an internal battery rated at 2500MaHr. I can get, as expected, about 1 1/2 full charges out of it. I assume about 3 half charges from it.

You do know that the 'solar' part is close to worthless. It would take a few days to recharge the unit from totally dead. Of course, that unit is cheap enough, it doesn't matter.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] longsolong:
Worwig,

Very good post!

That is exactly what the directions say "2 days needed to charge the solar panel" Although pretty much useless, the solar panel and the flashlight are both nice options to have. I'm finding that I no longer need to have my iPAQ 6925 and TP2 plugged into their respective chargers all day. I just charge the solar panel at night time and then charge my units as needed. Overall the solar panel is becoming quite useful.

Do I void my warranty if I flash from JF3 to another ROM for instance JP3 or a not FroYo ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
official ROMs like JH2 will not void warranty

any leaked ROM, maybe, it all depends on your cell phone store

I've got four questions for you guys, please help me......

I recently updated my HTC Desire to Froyo.

I'm rely interested of the new push functionality, c2dm.....no more drained battery when using IM-apps....

It's quite new and I can't find any IM-apps to use it. Is there any?(1)

Is it true the "standard" google talk uses c2dm in froyo?(2)

If yes, a XMPP-transport would be an option.

I have used Psi on my PC to setup facebook-transfer to my gtalk-account. Tried four different servers, jabber.hot-chilli.net, silper.cz, fsinf.at and jabme.de.

Only once I ended up with facebook-contacts in my list, with correct names but only 50 out of 133 friends. The server I used in this case was silper.cz.

Am I doing something wrong?(3)

Is there anyone who have managed to setup a transfer, and what server is best?(4)

Wile waiting for reply s i try to setup a msn transfer.......

BR,

Kladden

Hi.

I am tired of stock locking app's errors.It changes its code after full battery discharge.I need to replace that. Is there any good app for locking ? I tried sfr password and loved, but it locks my phone after a soft reset and I have to hard reset to use my phone again , so I cant use it too. :( Any other apps?

[Droid X General] Aoshi.be:
Hello,

I'm wondering if it's possible to desimlock the droid x .

I know that the Droid is only available with a verizon plan, but on Amazon, I can buy one without contract plan ( but work only with a verizon sim )....

So, if I Do that, can I root the phone to be able to use it with my sim card in belgium?

thanks for your help ! :D
[Droid X General] davisbs999:
I am certainly not an expert, but I don't think you can use any type of SIM card with Verizon. I don't have a SIM card at all on Verizon, as I did when I used at&t or t-mobile
[Droid X General] Aoshi.be:
Ok ! thx !

But I'm really stupid to ask this question... I Have not see before that the Droid X is Only CDMA ... And in europe we only use 3G xD ! ...

My thread is useless.... sorry :(:(
[Droid X General] ksizzle9:
U may use 3g but it is likely GSM, even if it is CDMA is it likely different frequency. Not trying to be an ass. Just state the facts. Sorry.
[Droid X General] Aoshi.be:
@ksizzle9

We use different freq in europe :

HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

US for Droid X :

CDMA , EVDO rev. A

EVDO is only available in US...

Most of Europe uses GSM, which is not compatible with EVDO, so EVDO will NOT work overseas.

I just need to wait a european version of the droid X ... Seems like a dream ^^ :rolleyes:
[Droid X General] drewden123:
Have you seen the Milestone XT720? I know it's gsm and it may be unlocked. It's a lot like the droid X.
[Droid X General] Aoshi.be:
Yes, but it's ugly... I'm using a htc desire sinds april, and I really Want to change for the droid X... but unfortunatly it's only available for the US market ( for the moment)

Wait&see...
[Desire General] Chivalryyyy:
ok its starting to annoy me now... but android has been around long enough and gotten a fairly large established user base that i cant see any excuse why our games are so CRAP compared to the iphone...

I refuse completly to buy an iphone.. in fact i point blank refuse to own any single apple product... i detest the level of control the force upon every one of there products... but as much as i try to argue the fact that my desire and android OS is superior to the iphone it falls flat on its face every time i see the games available for the iphone.... so what gives?

Is it that the hardware is so poor compared to the iphone it just cant cope with the games that work so well on the iphone? is it just that no one is making games

for android seriously yet?

I scan the market and see highly rated games like throttle coptor.. or abduction... i mean really? my 4-5 year old N95 had better gameplay !!!

I love my android in every other way ( not THAT way... god some peoples minds are in the sewer.. :0) ) but i just wish there were some decent games out there that could compete with the iphone ... i just dont know why!
[Desire General] rock_80:
Why bother arguing, who cares, you like your phone they like theirs. I bought a droid phone because it does what I want I could care less if it has ****ty games If I wanted to play good games on the move i'd by a DS or PSP.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
If you take a look at Gameloft's games, you'll find they are pretty much close to their iPhone equivalents. Most of them are not available on the Market, but I like Dungeon Hunter and Nova.

The games market for Android is still fledgling, but expect it to improve dramatically over the next year.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] Chivalryyyy:
i was looking at a review on some of the gameloft titles ported from iphone.. and in pretty much every review it said the game was far inferior to the iphone... not so much graphicaly (although they did say they ran alot chopier on the desire) but the controls are meant to be awful... as for some reason the desire and other android devices cant cope half as well with multi touch controls?
[Desire General] bob dylan:
the reason why is the apps sd issue.

iphones can use all of the 16/32 gb for app storage, android can only use the onboard RAM, which isnt bigger than 512mb usually. this limits the size of apps.

Up until now, developers have been hampered by the fact that every Android phone to date has had a relatively small amount of storage available for applications (a couple hundred megabytes as opposed to the iPhone’s many gigabytes). Apps are stored in the phone’s ROM rather than the phone’s removable (and cheaper) SD storage, which grants developers enhanced protection against having their apps pirated. But it’s also proven to be a handicap.

Many of the iPhone’s most popular applications are graphics intensive, rich games. But these games often require high quality visual assets to go with them. The iPhone handles these fine — you can download massive apps over Wi-Fi or through iTunes sync. On the other hand, while the newest Android phones are certainly capable of rendering high quality graphics, their ability to handle large apps is limited by the phone’s available storage. Yes, developers can choose to download their app’s assets to the SD card after the initial install, but this isn’t a good experience for the end user.

from now on, ie with Froyo and probably 3.0 gingerbread games can be stored on the sd card( apart from smoe kb files) this will encourage more game development.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Not convinced this is totally accurate! Most of the better games just have a separate download which goes direct to SD card anyway.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] rob81h:
I find alot of people on xda (as good of a site this is) stuck in the past!

I mean "if i want to play good games i'll buy a ds?"

So you deem £400 plus for a device a good price for something you consider to be just a phone? I'm sorry but thats nuts!

Believe it or not the most fun to be had with a phone these days is not changing what the battery icon looks like.

And to the op games on android are picking up, this is somthing i've noticed in the short time i've been with android,

Nfs shift for example, DS? I think not!

It's even said to be better than the psp version.

Then we have Raging thunder 2, Monopoly classic HD, Lets golf, Hyper jump, Hungry shark, Anytime pool,

Hero of sparta, Backbreaker football, Sims 3 HD, Crush the castle, Nova,

Tiki towers and also out this month Reckless racing and Angry birds, all good games:)

And to round off my rant HTC packaged and sold the desire as many other manufactures do as a "Multimedia device"

And gaming takes more money as an industry today than music and Movies put together!

Put's on flame coat and hides! LOL a DS?:D
[Desire General] AndroHero:
thats because the desire dosent have multi touch, it only has dual touch, that ok when you need to say move a virtual joystick and press a button, but if you need to use 2 virtual joysticks or 2 x/y axis's the desire gets confused n f'ks up lol
[Desire General] dgattenb:
better drivers .. better hardware.. for a PHONE this is very good... asphalt , super ko, talking tom etc... all very good graphics... but it is . at the end of the day ... a PHONE... until the they are fully converged... will have to stick to huge games on your sd card .
[Desire General] foxmeister:
The Nexus One and the Desire use a Synaptics ClearPad 2000 touch sensor. Later HTC phones (e.g. EVO and Incredible) are using better touch sensor (see here for more details), and I expect this to be continued in the Ace/Desire HD and newer models.

So, it's not "Android's" fault - it's the hardware. That being said, there is no reason why the game developers couldn't tweak the controls to better suit the Nexus Ones/Desires touch sensor - they just tend not to bother because many of the games are direct iPhone ports.

Dave

no - after u manually install market enabler(google the app) then launch the app, hit Save Seettings(for future use) and longpress the us line for instance - then select fake this provider

it should then ask you for root permissions, and voila - ur done

[Touch HD General] bigdyl69:
hi all, ever since i had my original Touch HD replaced by orange as it got damaged in work, the replacement has pretty much always had an oily looking substance visible under the screen. it causes no problems and is only visible when the screen is off but i was wondering what it might be and if i can get rid of it as i'm due my upgrade next month and want to maxmise the resale value of my phone.

any help would be great, thanks in advance
[Touch HD General] bigdyl69:
Anyone? 79 views and I'm the only one with this issue
[Touch HD General] handsomedog:
If it was a replacement, it was probably a refurb unit. The oily substance might be some cleaning fluid used when reassembling the phone, and not removed properly.

It shouldn't be there, there's unlikely any way to get rid of it without disassembling the unit. Best bet is to send it back to Orange and complain.
[Touch HD General] bigdyl69:
Thanks for the reply, same sort of lines along what I was thinking, either that or something like excess sweat getting held in the small layer of air trapped in the touchscreen used on these. I think my brother is going to buy it as it is as soon as I get a new phone so I doubt I'll bother going to Orange about it, and incur another £25 insurance excess. Thanks
[Touch HD General] xaccers:
Its a newton ring, where it's either overheated through use in the past or (if you believe HTC) it's from applying too much pressure to the screen.

It will show up more under flourescent light.

If you're still in the returns period of the phone, send it back and ask for another, if you're past that (thus giving them the ability to say it was fine when they sent you it) then there is a thread on here which describes clearing the rings using a lighter.

If you're going to try that, find the thread for the full instructions.

Both my blackstones developed the rings, neither of them had excessive pressure applied to the screen, but they do get very hot using tomtom while charging in the car.

Tried a warranty repair from HTC, they demanded £180 and denied it could be anything other than too much pressure, so tried a warranty repair through carphone warehouse (the shop was being refurbed when I first had the problem which is why they suggested I went direct to HTC).

The phone came back untouched, they'd sent it to HTC for repair, HTC sent it back saying "no pixel errors found" so the hadn't even read the fault description from CPWH. I ended up claiming for a new one on my insurance citing water damage at CPWH's advice.

The replacement also developed a long ring up the middle of the screen, managed to clear it with a screen protector as this flexes the layers of the screen and pulls them tightly together.
[Touch HD General] bigdyl69:
Thats really helpful, thank you for clearing it up. Yes the oily substance on mine is right down the middle of the screen and moves when any pressure is applied to the screen. It doesn't hamper the phones performance in any way and cannot be seen at all when the screen is lit up and considering that claiming a replacement on my insurance will cost me £25 and I've been offered £100 for the phone as it is I'll probably just wait for my upgrade on the 13th. My dad has just passed away this week and I can't really be doing with any more hassle or bills so I'll make do, its been there for about 7 months without really bothering me.

If I leave it will it cause any major problems or have any side effects to the phones performance in any way as it is all working perfect at the moment?
[Touch HD General] xaccers:
Sorry for your loss.

If its not interfering with the screen's response (mine doesn't but my first HD was much worse and prevented typing) then I'd leave it be, get the upgrade (go for a HD2 unless you want android) and sell your HD.
[Touch HD General] the_Enlightened:
Same crap with mine.... Newton rings? How about ring of death!:)
[Touch HD General] bigdyl69:
I would go for the HD2 but I fear WinMo is slowly on its way out, there's virtually no new games come out for it and everyone either seems to be jumping ship to the iphone (sorry to swear so openly on the forum) or android. I have been thinking of trying the Samsung Galaxy S or possibly HTC desire but I've still got a few weeks to work it out. What do HD's go for now used? Mine is fully unlocked and comes with a few accessories like the in car holder and charger and has an 8GB MicroSD card with it
[Touch HD General] xaccers:
Well, given the tech specs of the HD2, chances are it won't be long into WP7's life before a rom is released to work on that, otherwise you can run android on it.

Personally, I've kept mine stock other than installing SPB mobile shell 3.5

There's the star trek game, spider man, transformers, worms (oh that is so much fun).
[HD2 General] asctony:
I have SPB Mobile Shell installed and have HTC Sense as my Today screen. I have tried to resequenced them in Start-Up and still works as such:

1. When I boot up SPB MS shows but then HTC Sense Today (ST) displays.

2. I have a shortcut/Icon to get to SPB MS on HTC ST screen. However, if I go to SPB MS it takes me to that screen then immediately returns to HTC ST.

3. If I change the shortcut/Icon to SPB Carousel it does take me to the carousel and I can select any screen except SPB MS and it will stay/display that screen until I go back to HTC ST.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this so when I go to SPB MS and still use HTC ST I can stay there on SPB MS?

On my Omnia I900 I can do basically what I want, however, I am using Omnia Home Option 1 or 2 instead of HTC ST. Tried comparing the two sequence and that is the same on boot-up.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
download shell switcher (freeware) from omarket works perfectly ..just select the shell that you prefer either spb, htc sense or windows..alternative would be go to settings and de select sense from today screen options.. its best if you save spb on the device rather then storage card also please note if you select spb you would not be able to access the htc sense today screen only.sry if i misunterstood your question.hope that helps
[HD2 General] asctony:
Thanks! I tried that months ago and must have had an older version since it was not very responsive. Trying the latest that I downloaded and installed, and it seems to work better.

I only wish there was a way to go directly back and forth without making a selection each time. I will play with it to see if there are any options to set default, i.e., SPB SM to HTC Sense (if on SPB SM) and/or HTC Sense to SPB SM (if on HTC Sense) without making a selection each time. Meaning if you on on SPB MS have an Icon to take you directly to HTC and vice versa.

The options shown are:

1. Switch to Selected Shell (but you have to go to the Shell Switcher and Select HTC Sense or SPB Mobile Shell then Switch to that (SPB or HTC Shell.)

2. Switch to Classic Today screen such as: Resco Today Plugin, Pocket Player, Iconsoft PhonEx, Google Search, Skyfire, ElecontWeather, Windows Live, Bing, Instant Messaging, SPB Diary, SPB Backup, SPB Traveler, etc.

Do appreciate your help. My Shout!!
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
No probz..Ye I know what you mean, If you do find a shortcut do let us know
[HD2 General] asctony:
Definitely, I will post here. I been on YouTub looking for a solution, too. I thought I found one where a bloke posted about SPB MS V5, but it was not V5 and it wasn't showing how to switch back and forth.

as you all know we all had to put in our own custom settings and iptables into our android phones to get cricket working on our phones allowing us to access the marcket, internet, and apps.

it involves using autostart, u2nl, and replacing the APN's.

now all of that is to route all traffic trough the cricket proxy which only allows access to the internet trough port 8080.

but NOW as you all may know cricket offers an android phone plan which gives you unlocked 3G speed (yes my speed went up a little bit once i got the plan, to about 70KB/s) but i think it's not fully unlocked because i have all these things being routed trough their old proxy servers...

so does anyone know the new settings to configure your android phone with the cricket android plan?

supposedly on the plan description it says everything works, apps, market, everything! :eek:
