[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
There is no apps2SD support in CM6 or the stock rom, that's why you can't see them.

CM6 only support the FroYo apps on SD method right now, and they are working on a newer better apps2sd for future versions.

If you flash back to CM5, you might be able to see them, but I am not familiar with the old apps2SD method.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobalu:
Then why did my apps show up in CM6? They were there and functioning fine, I think I must have messed with a setting somewhere.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobalu:
FYI, I was able to restore my apps by deleting .android_secure from the SD card and then re-install Ti Backup and restore my apps.

Can someone explain how the app location setting in CM6 affects apps? I am thinking when I enabled this it screwed things up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
The .android_secure directory on the SD card is the 2.2 official apps to SD. So you probably were using that all along and something screwed up. That's why you could use them for a bit.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] numlandmix:
Hello everyone, I'm french and excuse my language made by google.

I do not know if the post is in the right place here and sorry if this is not the case.

I'm in the release RC1.5b froyo with sense is superb but since a patch fix for the keyboard light is come, the buttons off quickly and is problematic at night.

Is there a patch for handling or have the lights activated when the screen is on HD2?

On Windows Mobile, v0.3 NetRipper KeypadLedControl allowed to do that but on Android I do not know.

Somebody knows a solution to this problem?

Thank you in advance;)
[Desire General] yewthanasia:
hey guys, I just got my Desire (loving it).

I got it without it's box. I know it's probably a stupid question, but I did a search on this, couldn't find an answer. How can I tell whether its SLCD or AMOLED?

my HBOOT version is 0.83, I noticed most SLCDs come with this version or 0.92, but its not enough for me to tell.

Any idea?

Thanks :)
[Desire General] vinee9:
hey, there is one way to check, the slcd screens use backlight which remains on when the screen is on. if you get a complete black picture, pure black picture, on the amoled it should look like the screen is off but if u got the slcd you can still see the backlight behind the lcd.

hope this isnt a stupid answer

still new to all this

[Desire General] yewthanasia:
thanks guys!

I'll tried to see how the screen is in total darkness (camera) still it wasn't really clear as it seems dark enough for me, no grayish stuff. However, I'll try to magnifier thing posted in the link above tomorrow.

Many thanks! :)
[Desire General] balaams_ass:
The Amoled screen will have matrix of visible dots about an 1/8 to a 1/4 inch apart on the unpowered screen if viewed at the right angle. The SLCD does not. How do I know ? I bought the 3rd one sold at the store on release day and just bought 2 more a week ago. They are different.
[Desire General] paaghi:
no it's the best way to check
[Desire General] Capitalism:
Also you can simply look at the keyboard. If all the letters are perfectly clear, its an slcd. If it looks as if its an lower resolution and unclear you have the amoled :)
[Desire General] ivantodorov:
Mine is slcd and isn't clearly visible in sunlight, .... amoled more clearly you can see?
[Desire General] *damo*:
You can also look on the box, if it says 3.7" touch sensitive screen, it is slcd, if it says 3.7" amoled touch sensitive screen it is amoled

I didn't buy the HTC extended battery but one from amazon sold by Karen Deals. Link is below

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0NVM3EA1B2VE9HN3AKMA

Battery

Model No: cs-ht8585xl

Part No: 35h000128-00m, ba s400

Rating: 3.7v 2400mah

Lithium Ion

Induction Unit

Palm Pixi charging back with Palm touchstone charging dock

Operating System

Shubcraft 1.4d

Video:

[YOUTUBE]bdqRI8ODgww[/YOUTUBE]

Images are attached below!

Induction charging has the same charging speed as plugging it into a wall outlet. Very fast!

Sidenote:

I tried using a multimeter with the 3 contacts located under the battery and could not get it to register anything (with and without the charger plugged in). I then tried shooting 5v through it using 6 different combination (2 plugs for 3 contacts) and still couldn't get anything. If anyone knows a way to use these 3 contacts for charging please leave feedback. Also if anyone can find a minature microusb male connection that'd be great.
[HD2 General] Angelusz:
Well done, it's a really nice mod!

The 2400 mAh is a bit too bulky for me, though the extended uptime must be awesome. I'd even consider something similar, were it not that you're using the microusb to charge. If only you could connect it straight to the battery, would be so much more convenient. It'd still work in for instance car kits and attached to a pc.

Never the less, well done. ;)
[HD2 General] random_username_:
Looks great, i would try this myself but i cant stand the bulk of extended batteries and the stock metal back would almost defiantly interfere with the current. Where did you get the decal from?
[HD2 General] Carnivore9:
You can't plug in directly to the battery since the battery doesn't have a balancer board on it and it would explode if it were to be overcharged without one.

I got the decal in the automotive section of Walmart. It came with 2 big/4small stickers for 7usd

UPDATE: Made the microusb head smaller! Letting liquid electrical tape dry then I'll post pics.
[HD2 General] veda_sticks:
this is a really nice mod. what about the possiblly of going via the nav panel connectors instead of micro usb. this would as far as i know leave the usb port free and also not have the disadvantage of having a usb connector attached which can be easily damged.

Personalyu i wouldnt do this mod as i use my phone to tether a hell of a lot so it seems pointless to me, but being able to just sit your phone down and have it charge is awesome.

Great work!!!!
[HD2 General] Carnivore9:
I tired the navpanel connections with no success. If anyone has a multimeter please try to do it to theirs (with charger plugged in).
[HD2 General] veda_sticks:
that is really odd....only think i can think of is manye theres something that needs to happen with the middle pin.
[HD2 General] gametime999:
nice work i think that decal are very cute indeed!
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
PPL this is knowed from a long time! This pins are used for example with Car Kit like CU s400: http://www.slashgear.com/htc-hd2-cu-s400-car-kit-gets-priced-detailed-coming-december-1360143/

This car kit is in two versions: like this on 1st photo - use other battery cover which use this "mysterious" pins to run NaviPanel and charging battery :D and 2nd version with charging via microUSB port.

I hope this helps a bit. ;)

This "odd" middle pin you can find in every phone battery too. If you depart any battery you can find there a little electronic circuit.

I think, that this pin is used to metering battery charge, but i can be wrong - im not advanced in electornics.
[HD2 General] Carnivore9:
I'm well aware of the existance of these products but cannot figure out what the three contacts below the batteries are.
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
Maybe some users having one. In that case he/she can make photos of all connectors or better - check it with multimeter which connector is +, - and this middle one.

Maybe some service manuals can tell something more abt this. I searched for it and i did'nt find nothing useful.
[HD2 General] Carnivore9:
I also did a search on google and xda but with no luck. I don't think it inputs 5v into the machine since I did shoot 5v into the 3 connectors using different combination.
[HD2 General] slartibartfasst:
Hi all,

The contact closest to the center of the phone (looking along the longest axis of the phone) is the +5V, the one furthest from the +5V is the ground, and there's a small voltage on the center contact, positive to ground. These +5V voltage shows up (on my phone) only when the mini-USB charger is plugged in.

I've got the +5V terminal of the Pre plate attached to the +5V contact on the phone, and the other one attached to the GND contact. Inductive charging works at 341ma (as measure by the hardware and read by BattClock) at maximum, which is probably not coincidentally also the limit set on USB charging, at least from my laptop.

I tried hooking the Touchstone up to a Apple ~1" cubed charger, didn't get any charge. I haven't read the USB power specifications, but according to the people at the Palm forums you have to have a USB spec power-capable charger to initialize the Touchstone, and the USB ICs signal this by connecting the two data lines. This can be approximated by clipping a USB cable and twisting the data lines together on the Touchstone side of the cable. This allowed the Apple charger to power the Touchstone.

The HTC stock charger works fine, as does an 800ma Verizon charger I had laying around. I tried hooking the Touchstone up to both a 6V@2A switching charger and a 5V 8A supply, the Touchstone still charged at 341ma. I'm guessing this is software, firmware or hardware limited, just like the computer USB connection. I would speculate that if you shorted the middle pin to the ground pin, it might remove this restriction. Or fry your phone, I didn't try it.

There's a guy on the Pre forums who got the Touchstone to consume about 1.02A (http://forums.precentral.net/palm-p...b-adapters-touchstone-dock-2.html#post2020491) so the thing can, apparently transfer some power. I don't know how long it would last at those wattages, but I'm going to read a bit on the USB power spec and see if the 341ma limit can be lifted.

It's kind of nice to use the internal connector, because it leaves the microUSB port open. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. With the relevant portion of the Pre cover stuck to the back of my phone, there are no wires out of the chassis and the added part doesn't add any considerable bulk to the phone. It protrudes less than the camera.

Anyways, hope this isn't a thread-jack or too long, but I figured it might help anyone that's going to take the time to do this.

Thanks to the community here.
[HD2 General] Carnivore9:
Did you dremel and hotglue the plastic case to the metal case? Interweb highfive from me to you!

Can you post pictures of the inside wiring please?
[HD2 General] slartibartfasst:
I did. I basically cut out a square from the HD2 back large enough to hold the coiled length of wire that is needed to allow the back to be removed and articulated. Then I used Super Glue to fix the section of the Pre back containing the inductive coil and circuitry to the HD2 back.

If you're trying to maintain your warranty I might suggest DigiKey part number 478-4687-1-ND, it's from the AVX "MOBO Spring Contact Interconnect Solutions" catalog under battery connectors (I can send you a .pdf copy of the catalog, it's too big to upload to forum). This is a 3mm pitch connector that should mate well with the internal connector - but - I don't have calipers so I would measure before ordering. I just soldered the wires to my HD2.

I'll post some pictures soonish.

And yeah, high five for sure. Thanks for pioneering this. My last phone was retired when the power connector became flaky, so it's nice not to have to worry about the contact wearing out.

[HD2 General] Carnivore9:
bumping an old thread to see if you've taken pictures of the contact points yet.
[HD2 General] slartibartfasst:
Sorry it took me so long to reply. Two pictures, the first is the terminal with the wires soldered in, the second shows how I got the cables from the Palm coil/board through the cover. The terminals as you look along the longest axis of the phone with the microUSB plug closest to you are GND, something, and +5v.

So from left to right: 1 GND / 2 ? / 3 +5v.

[HD2 General] sydneyrodgers:
I'm hoping that someone might have some ideas on a problem I'm having running iGO8 on my new HD2 (with Dutty's ROM). The TTS voices will not work when run under SPB Shell 3.5.5. The regular voices work, but not the text-to-speech. It doesn't seem to be a program memory problem since they will work under Sense; which has about 169MB free; but not under SPB Shell; which has more memory (179MB) free. Also, my previous phone was a Samsung Omnia2 & it ran SPB & iGo8 fine, even though it had only about 60 MB free program memory.

To further complicate matters, I was able to get a foreign language TTS (Spanish) working, but none of the English (UK or US) work.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

SR
[Epic 4G General] Serren:
Does anyone know how difficult it would be to swap out the internal 1gb of memory with, say a 16gb from another Galaxy S?

Would it just be a matter disassembly, unsoldering and replacing? How small are the memory traces? Wire count?
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
Unless you worked for samsung and had access to the chip (then you wouldn't be here asking), You would have to buy another phone and disable it. Hoping that its capatible and having the right tools so you don't mess up the phone.

Not worth it.

Unless you just have the money to blow. I'm guessing the hardware is different in the epic. Footprint and all...
[Epic 4G General] Serren:
Thanks for your thoughts. This might be a hack a year from now when people are moving on to new phones. I guess I can look at a tear down video of the Epic and compare it to a tear down video of one of its siblings and visually compare the memory chips when both videos are out.
[Epic 4G General] Roisen:
The internal memory is likely soldered to the main board.

Theoretically if you were feeling especially dexterous and were able to desolder the chip and attach a larger one in it's place, you would still likely need some firmware changes to be able t access the larger space. Even then I doubt the memory on the other Galaxy S phones is comprised of a single 16GB chip. It's likely several smaller chips.

tl;dr no

Is there any way i could stop applications from starting automatically or just uninstall them. like amazon mp3 is always on, some other things just turn on automatically that i really dont use. the task manager kills them, but they start up again. can i remove them atleast.? im using cm6 rc3 with a locked bootloader . and the one click root. thanks for any help
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pzumk:
get a file manager like root explorer and go into /system/apps/ and delete amazonmp3.apk or however its called.

DO NOT just delete something.. you rather ask before you delete anything else than amazon

thanks i have astro file manager. would that do the job? i ll post all the apps i want to get rid of so u guys can check if its ok
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Remove system apps and never use the auto-kill feature of the task killer, unless you want extra drain on your battery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkalos13:
So I'm not suppose to use the advanced task killer widget,? Bc that's wat I use. Also which application can I use to delete these systwm apps bc wen I try to with astro it says failed. Is there an aplication better than astro that does the ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Astro doesn't have root permissions, so it won't delete system apps.

You need EStrongs Explorer (free) and enable the root option, or Root Explorer (paid), or some other file manager that can use root privileges.

Unless you have a VERY good reason to kill an app, you shouldn't kill it. It doesn't help anything.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkalos13:
so how can i stop the app, lets say for example i turn on google earth or something, and there is no exit button so when u turn it off it stays on , how can i stop it with out killing the app. thanks for your help btw

just tried uninstalling amazon and deleting the .apk and it doesnt allow me. the root permission sis enabled also what could be the the problem, im using e strongs file explorer
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
the app doesnt really stay on. take google maps for example. open it up, and see your gps icon turn on. press home button, gps icon turns off, maps goes into idle mode and uses absolutely zero resources, which can be verified using system panel monitoring function. its been proven many times at this point.

all google apps are coded correctly to not drain or do any thing when you send them to the background. same with all stock apps. if you really want to see for yourself why and how this happens, the best app to use is system panel. its free, but the cpu breakdown part is now paid. best app i've bought by far (and root explorer too:D)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkalos13:
Ok thanks for the info, I see why now not to kill the apps. But I still can't get the amazon mp3 to be deleted and also twitter I want off but it doesnt let me and root permissions were allowed
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You need to remount system partition as writeable.

Execute from Terminal Emulator:

Or if you have ADB:

Or if you have Root Explorer - press "Mount as R/W" button above the file list.

Or if you have EStrongs Explorer - find the setting in the menu for mounting system as R/W and enable it.

I use my nab ib my car, my 85 camaro. Recently however, my car has been blowing a fuse that displays my speed.
