I've been able to copy the userdata.img between two builds but I know it doesnt work for all builds.

There is also titanium back up. Also ... when ever I start over google automatically loads the apps that ive gotten from the market.

I went to AT&T's website and their selection of Windows Mobile phones is almost non-existent. What's going on - has anyone heard of an intentional move away from Windows Mobile at AT&T?

I have a personal/hosted Microsoft Exchange account and LOVE the synchronization between my desktop Outlook and the Windows Mobile phone, but I hear no one's implementation is 100% like WM's.
[General Topics] mfpmax:
You'll have to wait for Windows Phone 7 for AT&T to get "new" phones. Last I looked they were still selling the Tilt 2, or at the very least refrubished ones. I know Radioshack was also selling refurbished Pures.
[General Topics] 8525Smart:
This is nothing specific from AT&T. It seems that ever since Microsoft announced WM6.5 will become a 'classic' OS and they're moving to Windows Phone 7, Windows Mobile phones just seemed to have died from the market.

I just checked GSMArena; WinMo only saw two major releases in 2010 in the form of the HD2 and HD Mini. One can argue for a few other phones. By comparison, Android saw about a dozen major releases or so.

Who knows? Maybe when WP7 finally arrives, we'll be seeing more products from Microsoft, but at this point, I wouldn't count on another major WinMo phone coming for any network.
[General Topics] mfpmax:
Also, AT&T only ever had "Two" HTC Windows Mobile phones at any given time.

However if you mentioned other brands, they got like 3-5 Samsung Windows Mobile phones currently being offered on their website, all with 6.1/6.5
[Vibrant General] ibuddha:
Ok so I've been experiencing some wackiness lately that has kind of irked me a bit. Now I LOVE my Vibrant coming from Blackberry's in the past and most recently an iPhone i'm totally super impressed with the Vibrant especially the Galaxy series.

Anyway, the problem I've had is something that I've learned to deal with because I had a myTouch for a while is the whole ramdom apps running in the background so a Task Manager is cool.

The other thing is that i my job Tmo has horrible reception (not to mention that Miami still doesn't have HSPA but Ft. Lauderdale a smaller city 30min away has it. WTF Tmo!) so I soemtimes have to reboot my phone (i took the battery out) in order to pick up a signal, well the problem i had was that I rebooted my phone and it warned me i had less than 15% battery, i ignored it because i didn't have my charger so i just lowered the brightness and laid off the texting. 15 minutes later i once again rebooted the phone and now magically i had 85% battery life. now unless, the Vibrant magically charges it self by sheer awesomeness then no prob but that is seriously weirding me out. I feel like something in the innards of my amazing device is not right and its nagging me all day long! lol.

I'm Stock rooted, with the LagFix 2.0 by RyanZa and the MobileAP setting, installed, I also have LauncherPro, and beautiful widgets.

so is this something I should worry about?

ps. i've tried every way possible and my phone is impossible to put into download mode.
[Vibrant General] MilkPudding:
I feel like the battery indicator is kinda off. For my phone, the warning will pop up when the bar is 1/3 full, saying that I have less than 15% battery left. But I can still talk on the phone for a long time before it turns itself off.

I don't know which part of Miami you are at, but I'm getting pretty good signal.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
The battery indicator on the notification bar is indeed incorrect. There are workarounds this by flashing the following:

Download mode: If you really want to get into it, type: adb reboot download

or reboot download in Terminal.. the manual way is to power off your phone, plug in USB, when the charging screen comes up... hold down the volume up and down, and press and hold power.. when the vibrant logo comes up.. let go of the power button but CONTINUE to hold the two volume buttons then a yellow android digging should appear. Tip: put the phone horizontally, it'll make this easier.
[Vibrant General] erickrios:
It happened to me once, my phone went down to 0% and shut off, I plugged the charger, let it sit there for about 15-20 minutes, when I turned it on the battery indicator (not the stock battery) said I had 65%.

Now I know that couldn't be accurate because there's no way my phone charged that much in just a few minutes when it usually takes a few hours to fully charge.

I have no clue what it could be and I haven't had this happen again.

Oh well I guess it's just one of those random things. I just wish I could create a log or something that would show people who know a little more about this kind of thing. Anyway, next time it happens I'll let you know and I'll look into that link.
[Vibrant General] Smokexz:
It has been working just fine for me. However everytime I start it up it does sometimes say I have 15% but then it shoots back up.
[Vibrant General] SSJ_Gomike:
!. No issues on mine regarding that....

2. Yes my battery indicator shows a different level then what the battery actually is, i've heard this will be fixed with update...

3. I live in FT. Lauderdale and no we do not have HSPA+, so far only Jacksonville is the only city is FL with it....
[Vibrant General] tenbeau:
Orlando also has hspa as I pick it up randomly about 28 miles away.
[Vibrant General] ibuddha:
Well according to the Tmo website the cities in Fl with hspa are Jacksonville, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, and Tampa. So I don't know who is wrong there. You or Tmo. No offense.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkAgent:
Often on the marketplace, I see comments such as "drains battery" or "saves battery" for many apps, such as task killers. Now, aside from the "oh look my battery seems to last longer" or "oh look my battery seems to suck now" subjective point-of-views after installing apps in question (there are various different reasons as to why battery performance can differ from day to day), how do people evaluate the effect of an app on battery? AFAIK if an app is not listed under "Battery use", then it has little to no effect on eating the battery (I don't know about helping battery usage).

Any input?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
I use a fairly simple strategy to maximize my battery life. Two key applications help me wring the best life I can out of what I have going (Juice Defender and Spare Parts). Juice Defender presents a limited window of opportunity for background apps to sync themselves when the phone is asleep which helps with partial wake usage. Spare Parts allows me to examine relatively detailed statistics of what uses the battery when. And again partial wake usage seems to be the critical area one can take control of.

You can get some more detailed info about battery use with Spare Parts of course but probably the most important area to try to glean info from is "Partial Wake Usage". In order for many apps (news, rss, social networking services etc..) to function they have to periodically update themselves and most will do this from a partial wake state if the phone is off and in your holster or pocket. How efficiently these types of apps wake up get what they need and let the phone go back to sleep can have a huge impact on your battery life. How often these types of applications update themselves also plays a critical role in battery life as well.

I have generally excellent battery life, especially given all the apps I have that frequently update their data (Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Daily Briefing, NewsRob, Engadget, Fmylife) and the fairly frequent texts and calls I get.

[HD2 General] PHILMORE_SLIM:
i just got another hd2 which worked fine but after i hspl'd it n flashed a rom i lost my weather and gps location. ive changed settings w no luck. so i went back to a stock 2.10 rom and still have no weather and i still cant get my gps location.

if anyone has any ideas im lost at this point.

worst case i have insurance so ill get another new phone but id like to try fixing it.

thanks for the look and ideas..
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Did you try a hard reset? That should bring it back for sure.
[HD2 General] PHILMORE_SLIM:
tried hard reset, wipe device, format sd card, no sd card, even a different sim card and still nothing. i flashed an energy rom which i like n i have flashed to many other hd2's without any issues at all but for whatever reason this one is giving me a hard way to go.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
You did update your QuickGPS info after flashing to the different ROM(s), correct? Other than that, are you still using the same radio as you originially were or did you change that when you changed ROM's?
[HD2 General] Dr.8820:
it's a known sense issue, moves from state to state....usually happens when tmobile is updating to hspa+..it'll come back, just give it time :).
[HD2 General] PHILMORE_SLIM:
did the update tried everything i can think to do w no results and i am using the original radio. ive never had this problem w any other hd2 ive flashed thats why im curious if ive got a defective phone or if something went wrong when i hspl'd everything else works just like it should.

It would be great if anyone could film themselves removing the stock screen protector because even after reading the threads I am still confused... Is the protector the really thin thing that seems to cover the screen or the thick hard glass-looking plastic on it?...
[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
I took about 10 minutes to remove my stock screen protector and to me that's a really long time but it's not that hard. If you look in the corners of your X10, you should see it, its really thin but it doesn't cover the whole screen. Use a magnifying glass if you need to but I don't think it's really that hard. When you see it, try wedge a corner of the stock screen protector with a thin plastic like a guitar pick or credit card, no metals obviously. It takes a while but you'll see that the screen protector will fold a bit then start peeling from there. It's really not that hard, just needs patience and time.
[XPERIA X10 General] mmk92:
if u look at the corners of the screen u cld see a small obvious space between the edges of the stock screen protector and the edges of the x10's face area thingy, i used my nail on the edges and after about a minute it started to peal off, but i dont recomend removing it its very usefull no matter how scratched up it gets(itl still protect the screen)
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
Yea I lifted a corner up. I will probably peel the whole thing when I get my clear-coat

Ok, im trying to find an app... here is my idea:

I travel a lot, and sometimes, i want to connect to a public wi-fi hotspot....

Is there an app that tells you, over a map, where to locate wifi hotspots?

It would be nice if it were somethingg for offline use, since thaat, if you are looking for a hotspot, may mean that you have no internet currently.. :P

I installed the modaco rom from here android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/316565/24-aug-r8-modaco-custom-rom-for-htc-desire-with-online-kitchen-2-2-froyo/ using the ROM manager with hboot 0.83 which was already rooted. I had the phone all of 2 days and now after doing that when it reboots it gets to the quietly brilliant HTC screen with the Modaco logo and it just doesnt get past is.

I rooted via this method xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748618and that seemed to go fine

The problem is now i have only 1 option which is loading into the boot menu via Power+back button.

In there there is a recovery option, when i select this the screen i get the 02 welcome screen and it just sticks on that. When i click on recovery should i get some other options? So as i see it i can only do 2 things

1) Boot normally via power which freezes at the HTC quietly brilliant screen

2) Boot via Power+back button which gives me an option to choose recovery, fastboot etc but choosing recovery just freezes as the 02 welcome screen

Im pretty good with PCs but ive never even used an Android or Iphone until 2 days ago so go easy with the terminology, what happens if i bricked this, i didnt get insurance so will i be responsible for the cost of fixing it if i return it?

[Desire General] netdudeuk:
Having looked at the Galaxy S, too much doubt about the ability of the GPS to be reliable meant that I decided to take the plunge with an unlocked unbranded handset only HTC Desire purchase. However, while both phones were £400 only the other day, they're both now £450 at CPW in the UK :mad:

That's a big price increase and I'm not sure that I can justify that outlay. Anyone seen the Desire elsewhere from a reliable vendor for the original price ?

The other thing worth considering is that if the Desire is really a £450 phone and not a £400 phone, it looks like the chances of the expected Desire HD coming in anywhere near that price look pretty thin. The 'leaked' Amazon prices had previously suggested otherwise.
[Desire General] Imperium:
That's kinda expensive.. in the netherlands it's 410 euro's. That's like 370 pounds?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
blame all the nobs that voted for the conservatives :rolleyes:
[Desire General] joebongo:
Dude, I got the Galaxy S on 15th August from CPW.

The GPS is shockingly bad. I mean that. If I was allowed to swear here I would.

I could be under a zillion clear view sats on cloudless day and the accuracy for a stationary fix was jumping around 5-30m, which is crap.

When driving using Copilot software it would jump from road to road resulting in constant turn left, turn right etc when on a straight road as it had little idea which road I was on.

I tried the lbstestmode fixes which were placebo (as it's a test mode and isn't used by the devices applications). I tried some newer leaked firmware to no avail - it locked a little quicker initially then jumped around as before.

And don't forget the lag on Galaxy - you click and up to a second later something happens. This is quite annoying and you tend to tap twice thinking the first tap didn't do anything.

Then after 1.5 weeks I had had enough and got a 2nd hand Desire from CEx. It was like night and day.

Ok, the Desire doesn't look like the iPhone killer that the Galaxy is (could be), and the screen's smaller with no forward facing camera, but that GPS is solid, fast and accurate.

I depend on my GPS quite a lot, and so I took my Galaxy back to CPW for a refund, expecting a brickwall (CPW are terrible when it comes to consumer rights and I shouldn't have bought from there when I think about it), but there was no quibble, just a straight refund. That makes me think CPW know the Galaxy is messed up in it's current state.

If Samsung sort out the GPS and lag then I'd be tempted to get one, but for now and the foreseeable future, the Desire kicks ass and smokes grass.

For prices, my CEx one was 365, and 450 for a proper new one isn't too bad. You can get one online (and have the 7 days DSR protection) for 400 though.

Hope this helps.

Joe
[Desire General] netdudeuk:
I've asked in quite a few stores including CPW about the GPS issue and they all said that there is no issue, including someone (for CPW) on Saturday who said that she had bought her own. The hardware spec is very impressive but for me one of the best things to come out of the evolution of the smartphone is location services and you need to be able to trust the hardware to know where you are for it to be any use.

I really like the large bright clear screen (my eyes are showing signs of age now) but the front-facing camera is not a big deal for me. The one on my N95 isn't a useful feature. The flash on the Desire is also a plus.

As far as buyer protection is concerned, I would be using my credit card to buy instead of using the usual debit card. I'd expect that the bank would be another resort should there be issues with both the phone and the store.
[Desire General] netdudeuk:
Dude, there's a saying that we have over here - 'Rip-off Britain' - which is completely accurate. Have a look at iTunes prices, for example. And in my hobby (model aircraft), we're talking the same figures in pounds as our friends pay in dollars, even though £1 is about the same as $1.5 US. And so on.
