[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] artistream:
i lent my Tytn II to a friend because i didnt need a cellphone at the time. i requested it back because i wanted to use it as a skype phone and it had a custom rom on it. i didnt really care because it still worked and i wanted to put android on it. its WinMo 6.5.1 Titanium Ultimate by TwoPumpChump. i dont know what spl or anything he used, but it just gets to the screen where it displays the R G D and then nothing after that. is there any way i can reset the device without having the phone completely booted up ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Try a hard reset ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] artistream:
ive already tried that quite a few times. but just to be sure, the "hard reset" buttons are the call/end call buttons right? i was looking up a how-to and thats what it showed. so i hold down the call/end call buttons then press the soft reset button with the stylus, but it just resets to the same boot screen it gets stuck at
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jsngrimm:
so does the screen go black? try flashing a different radio rom and see if that helps. also try flashing a new rom mabye
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] artistream:
but how do i flash a different rom if i cant fully boot it up?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jsngrimm:
take out the sd,simcards,and battery, wait about 20 seconds and put only the battery back in. hold the power and camera buttons at the same time and hold them till you see a colored screen and it says "usb" on it. you are now in the bootloader and can flash over usb with kaisercustomruu :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Flash via sd card while on bootloader.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jsngrimm:
yea what clown said. you can do it from sd or usb from bootloader, either is fine

Is it possible to import your local dictionary/language/keyboard from one firmware to another?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spazzxb:
Ok my phone has been reverted to unrooted stock for weeks. The only modded thing is s-off. today my phone just shut down and will lock up, shut down (and require a battery pull to restart) before booting fully or wake up once the screen goes dim.I get the lock screen then black when i slide it down. Since i was full stock i don't know what to do. I don't have clockwork so i don't have backups, can someone please help.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spazzxb:
sorry

they can delete this. I got it to work by pulling my sd card. sorry for misplacing it. I was afraid of s-off causing this or prohibiting me from getting my phone fixed and thought s-off was a development issue.
[Streak 5 Android Development] gilrad:
Mostly I am trying to see if this is an isolated issue with mine that might be fixed by rolling the dice again and re-flashing 2.1, but I'm sure people have interesting anecdotes to share as well.

For me, the ROM gave me severe overheating issues. Like, I would be in a heavily air conditioned room playing a video file, and after 20 minutes even though the outside doesn't feel exceptionally warm, running the internal temp monitor would show 98-100 degrees! This heated area was highly localized in the lower left corner, where according to ifixit the processor rests. Without air conditioning, even simply browsing the internet would cause it to eventually overheat.

To add to that, comparing 1.6 to 2.1 charging speed and general battery life seems to be much better after going back to 1.6. Whereas in 2.1 watching a 20-minute video could cut down my battery by 30 percent even in airplane mode, in 1.6 I lose maybe 5 percent in the same situation.

Of course even in 1.6 I am still having troubles with heat when I am in a hot environment, though I don't know if this is just the nature of running a modern smartphone in 29 degree C (84 F) weather. As an aside, has anybody had overheating issues in hot environments?
[Streak 5 Android Development] kanej2006:
Several reasons include:

1 - Utterly crap, slow, useless & innaccurate keyboard

2 - Less icons fit on screen

3 - Only 5 home screen in which you cannot remove/add

4 - Wallpaper does not work properly, instead of filling one screen

it distorts and stretches onto all the other screens...

That's all I can think of now...
[Streak 5 Android Development] MSigler:
100*F after 20 minutes of video playback? That's absolutely normal. In fact it's kinda cool.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Jezza0:
I'm back on 1.6 because:

No WMA support in stock or aftermarket players (RockPlayer did work, but that's no good for music)

I prefer the 1.6 keyboard

I like Dell's FB, Twitter and RSS widgets

I want my restricted market apps to be available

I do miss (from 2.1)

The eye-candy

Being able to charge in aeroplane mode (what is UP with that anyway?)

The dialer/contact app is great

Did I mention the eye-candy?

2.1 was very pretty and I am very much looking forward to it in an official ROM. IMHO though, it doesn't provide the functionality I need.
[Streak 5 Android Development] gilrad:
Seriously? I mean, what's the point in having a media tablet if it can't even finish a TV episode without an emergency shutdown? Is this normal for android smartphones in general, or is the streak just badly designed?
[Streak 5 Android Development] untrueparadox:
my guess is that the cpu throttling isnt fully implemented or that it doesnt support hardware decoding.

either way, i feel the 2.1 is pretty buggy, the facebook sync goes funny, the dell rss widget crashes every few hours, and a few more that i cant recall off the top of my head.

waiting eagerly for 2.2 to release.
[Streak 5 Android Development] yokuoh:
I have to agree with the other posters...

- New icon spacing is terrible (what a waste of a big screen)

- Old keyboard was better

- Old recent programs menu was better

- Old camera UI was better

- Old desktop (with seperate rooms/wallpapers) was better

If the final OTA update is this bad I'm going to be sticking with 1.6 - and I'll be happy with it.

Updates are supposed to make things better, not worse.

:confused:
[Streak 5 Android Development] Phylar:
Ok all of that is fixed by third party solutions. ADWlauncher rocks
[Streak 5 Android Development] gilrad:
Did anybody ever have trouble with videos in 2.1? I fixed my overheating issue, got it so that I could watch videos as much as I wanted in 1.6. So I went back to 2.1 thinking my biggest gripe was solved, but now, even at 30 degrees C (86 F), the thing restarts maybe ten minutes into a video.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Cypher84:
Not sure whats behind this overheating, but i am running 2.1 since it was leaked without any issues, to be fair I have only watched about 30 mins of District 9 but ran fine.

I was really glad to see the back of 1.6, so many awesome apps were unavailable. As the other post mentioned most of the failures of the current 2.1 can be remedied with other istalls. ADW lets you set the ammount of columns and rows of icons, and up to 7 home pages, plus loads of other tweaks, themes and portrait mode.

I was super dissapointed with the new keyboard too, but the HTC multitouch keyboard is awesome and super fast with really good correction too, only thing that doesnt work yet is auto capitolisation as far as I know, and theres various skins to chose from.

For me there was also a noticable speed increase, this with proper multitouch meets my gaming needs with psx4droid. The dialer and contacts is a huge improvement, as is the stock gallery. Only thing with that is the proximity hangs sometimes and takes a while for the sceen to light up but thats pretty rare and I think that could be some app interfering...

I for one cant wait for the official 2.1 hopefully sligly ironed out release, this will nicely hold me over till froyo, which better be soon Dell!! Though I understand some people cant be bothered to tweak and play with it, just want it working out of the box. I guess coming from WM im used to that LOL..

Hello guys im new in this forum. 2 weeks ago I bought my wife a desire from telus and the battery life sucks she have 2 charge it twice in less than 8 hours. Is there anyway to make the battery longer? N I have a app on her desire called data on demand to have the 3g off whn shes not using the phone. Still no luck :( please help me

[Desire General] foxmeister:
I think you need to look closely at what is actually consuming the power.

Chances are that you have a rogue app that is stopping the phone from sleeping properly.

You can look at the battery stats in Menu->Settings->Phone Info->Battery Use, as this should give you an idea of what is actually using power. You might also want to download Spare Parts as this will give you easy access to additional menu items related to battery usage (e.g. partial wake usage). You can also get to these by entering *#*#4626#*#* in the dialler (*#*#INFO#*#*), but I find Spare Parts more convenient.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] Rexton270:
Hi Dave, thanx for the code it's great. However you need to correct it from 4626 to 4636 (INFO on keyboard).
[Droid X General] eightbitheroics:
I'm not going to go into great detail about this, (I can if you need me to), because I'm sure most people know what I mean, but is there a way to keep high quality contact pictures with Google contact sync left ON?

I was hoping with a combination of Froyo, and the new contacts system in gmail, the problem would be gone. No such luck.

Thanks guys.
[Droid X General] inzandity:
sub'd for a hopeful solution as this bugs the **** out of me as well...especially because I keep a few contact widgets on my home screen
[Droid X General] ROM3000:
I was wondering the same thing. Thoughts?
[Droid X General] 12yan:
same. bump!
[Droid X General] mavermc:
It's not much of a fix really, but if you get the full screen contact app, you do have to manually select hi res images for it to work, but that hiquality image does because the contact pic as well (as a side effect I guess) I didn't want to go through my contacts and do all of that so i ended up removing it, but maybe that will get you what you want.
[Droid X General] meltedxice:
SyncMyPix has an option to pull high quality pics from your friend's facebook account. I think it is better quality than the normal facebook contacts sync.
[Droid X General] eightbitheroics:
On top of that, with the new Google search widget if you want it to recognize your contacts when you say them, for example "send text to Amy" you have to have contact sync turned on. So I want the functionality of the search, or the low res contact images that are just not ugly, but embarrassing. Why won't Google fix this?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaSySman:
Oke Guys,

This question has been asked for a million times i guess. But the search option on this forum is killing me, i never get to the thread i want to ;)

So this is the story, i have my (Dutch) HTC HD2, standard ROM, Standard 2.5 sense.

Only things i changed are the icons, CHT and other basic stuff...

Now, i want to try Android on my phone, is that possible without ROM Updating my system (That will affect my Windows Mobile Install)

And how do i get the whole android thing installed on my phone?

Well, hope someone can help a dork and nutnut like me ;)

Greetz..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11calcal:
in short the answer would be no.

There are many factors that enable android to run on an hd2,mostly rom & radios for which you'd need to hspl3 your phone. By upgrading your rom you wouldn't be loosing your windows mobile-if anything gaining more from a phone that is somewhat redundant without tweaking or upgrading. After all once you've got a custom rom you'll love it all the more & now with an android port the best of both world's. The best thing I did to my phone after having. It a couple of weeks was flashing over a radio & rom. Take the plunge & you'll see the vastness that this phone has ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wil Badger:
Last I checked ROM has nothing to do with it. Radio yes, depending on the radio version you have it might need to be changed. Android runs from the SD card and shuts down windows when it starts so what would the ROM have to do with anything.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11calcal:
A lot of it is rom depending as I've only seem a handful of people who have it working on stock. To the op try it & report findings on here to give others the benefit ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ducter:
best bet would be to follow the installation guides.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kIsham:
I was in the same dilemma... Afraid to harm my precious HD2... I started with adding android to SD using the stock tmous rom and it was great until I had to make a call or received a call then it was all bad... I dealt with that for a month until I took the plunge and downloaded chuckys rom... totally worth it... most bugs fixed... sod here and there, but overall it's worth it!!!

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] TheSSJ:
Tried a NAND-Restore?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ManCloud:
may be the ext2 partition....

clear it and look if it helps....

if not reformat your sd-card with fat16 and look if it helps....

I got bootloop after i restored my milestone to factory.

clearing the ext2 partition on my sd fixed the problem....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scaryzid:
Hi,

I'd like to start a thread with varying inputs from everyone regarding which ROM drains the least amount of power. I think this will benefit newbies, like myself, on which ROM to use in the long run (or until the next update, LOL).

I know usage wise, everyone is different but let's say in a

normal typical week day with work and all from 7am to 10pm

, how well does your battery fare?

For myself, I'm using DeFrost 3.0b with Android Task Killer running in the background.

Usually from 7am on full charge, leaving house for work and using the voice calls from point to point, a lot of texting and light surfing on 3G, at 10pm I would have about 60% left. Quite good IMO. :cool:

I have tried OD but it drains my battery too much and CM6 Nightly is better but DeFrost saves the most battery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepakoffline:
i am using pinky 1.6 and the battery gives good backup.

but on my brother's desire, using nextsense 6.0 and my god we have given up on that rom altogether. full charge done at 1AM and with playing for 10 mins on talking tom app and just 1 phone call.... the charge has gone down to 64%. Its 1PM now. i dont know its the problem of the phone or the rom. but no more nextsense for me atleast.

maybe others dont have this prob... but i do.

defrost and OD i have also tried them both... both are good but i really miss the fm radio, htc camera, friendstream widget and htc gallery. the nexus gallery is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yasars:
look in yours sig ... leedroid
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex-V:
Mine you can see in my signature... :)

goes down: if i don´t touch it from 100% to 99% in 3h

if i use it for some sms and short calls with 3g and weather every 3h it goes down 1% per hour... :) so i don´t have any battery issues

if i use it extrem....all rom´s...also not htc sense rom´s goes down very quick...but this is normal....

and if i compare the battery drain to my old HTC Polaris with only 400 mhz (instead of 1000 mhz) the battery drain is very good ;)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex-V:
on browsing...this is normal...because the active internet connection and display on and cpu at 100% ...i have maybe 1% evry 3-5 min but it´s normal

i don´t think this is a rom problem

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex-V:
yes you are right ;) :)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepakoffline:
so it can be said that htc desire's battery is even worse than iphone!!!! i earlier had iphone 3g and its battery was better. :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex-V:
maybe...because we have an 1000 mhz Processor and the i phone 3g : iPhone 3G 667-MHz (clocked 412 MHz) ..

so it´s normal that the desire needs more battery :)

with kind regards..Alex

edit: so it´s not possible to compare i phone and desire....we need anyone who can test it with another phone with 1000 mhz

edit 2: and the i phone 3g have no multitasking

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K900:
Pinky 1.8 + new radio lasts for some one and a half days
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob dylan:
i use neophyte 1.8. with setcpu and juice defender i just did a very good test.

went away for the weekend, used the phone for internet about 3 hours each day, no calls and a few texts, weather, gmail and facebook updating every 2 hours: by the 3rd day i had 23% battery left. this was a nice surprise!

setcpu and juice defender combined saves me a lot of battery, if i dont touch the phone and turn on the screen it uses less than 0,5% per hour as setcpu puts the mhz down to 245 when the screen is off while juice defender turns off the (latest) radio.

cutting down battery useage while the screen is off is the key i think.

its the best mixture i have found yet.
[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
Hey guys which app u guys think saves alot of battery let us know. And what are the settings u guys are using? To make battery life longer.
[XPERIA X10 General] tnleeuw:
I use JuiceDefender. It does more than just set the CPU. And I keep the screen brightness low.

SetCPU works only if your phone is rooted, I guess. JuiceDefender is able to work *some* magic on any Android phone, rooted or not :-)

--Tim
[XPERIA X10 General] welshlad:
I use them both, on default settings and find it really helps my battery. My only slight complaint would be the time it takes for 3G to become active when I unlock the screen
[XPERIA X10 General] Ally153:
Is that maybe because you have "Prefer Wi-Fi" set in the APN setup? Mines comes on immediately - I'm using JuiceDefender in advanced mode.

I use both too - they do diff things, so hopefully combining them results in more savings.

I've set SetCPU to scale the CPU based on battery remaining, Temperature and Screen Off - seems to work well for me.

Never really tried experimenting with disabling these programs to compare how effective they are.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
Personally I find juice defender makes a huge difference. I simply have it switch off the data connection when the screen is off, unless it is on charge.

Not sure how much of a difference setcpu will make.

Swyped from my rooted X10i using XDA.
[XPERIA X10 General] thunderpossuem:
i'm using setcpu. got it set to max for both the minimum and maximum spot and the set to as low as possible for both for when the screen is off. works heaps good for me. and makes the phone speedier when you're using it too.
[XPERIA X10 General] cwepruk:
I turned off Juice Defender, my battery life in still solid and completely unchanged.
[XPERIA X10 General] micavn:
I am aslo aware of the battery life is still good as before I turn of the Juicedefender. It could be SE already did something for the last update (R26)
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
Juice defender makes a huge difference for me, that I have already tested. Works fine on my setup.

Have had setcpu for a while, not entirely sure if it makes any difference for me.

How does android 1.6 handle cpu speed when left alone?
[XPERIA X10 General] qwer23:
Android handles that quite well. I uninstalled both of them and have no faster battery drain than while using these apps. Actually it feels like battery lasts longer, but i didn't really test ;-)
[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
So how to use juicedefender ? Is it easy ? Should I keep the setcpu? Or uninstall it and if ihave both how do I setup them up together.
[XPERIA X10 General] cwepruk:
I get three days of life without Juice Defender = the same as with it on. I feel it's worthless. It's easy just download and turn on/off the features you want.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
Setcpu makes things worse for me for some reason. I used 15% battery in 2 hours just on standby.

I guess alot of it is down to how you use your phone.

As far as juice defender goes, I just use it to kill the data connection when screen is off.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cecaa1030:
I use Froyo 2.1 build, after I press power key to turn off screen, if I press the power key again in short time, the device wakeup will take a long time (about 5 seconds), sometimes even not wakeup (due to timeout in the lockscreen and screen turns off again I guess), then I have to press the power key again and wait, normally it will take about 4 seconds to turn on the screen.

I tried to turn off setCPU and ATK completely, but not works, still long time to wake up.

is there a solution to this? everything works fine except this

thanks in advance!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pete777:
I also have this issue. I tried many builds but there is always lag. No build will wake up so fast as WinMo but I think its the limitation of running OS from SD Card. Maybe I`m wrong but I think internal memory has lower latency so windows wakes up immediately and android always takes some time..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cecaa1030:
I want to know is there anyone do not have this long delay before wakeup? if there is, please tell me, thanks!

Yeah these are known issues with the Froyo builds. Will probablyget fix somewhere down the line.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
The best thing to do now is to be patient with it. I find the more frustrated I get with it, the worse it gets. What I mean is if I keep hitting the hangup/unlock button to try to get it to wake, it takes longer to awake.

Also someone has posted that a possible problem is with Advanced Task Killer settings. If you have that program set to kill apps during sleep, it could cause a hang on wake. Also I believe auto screen rotate could have an effect.

I am sure that in time the situation will be resolved, as will every other minor bug and glitch.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] anap40:
The only solution I have foudn to this problem is to use shub 1.4c or d. It usualy turns on the first press, if it doesn't I press the button again(b/c usually the backlight goes on on the first press just nothing shows up on the lcd) then wiat a couple seconds and it goes on. I also have minimal TS freezes w. that build while with other builds they are common
