Hi,

I have a problem with my HTC pure. The battery only stay one day without recharging, just using it for messaging and small calls. I have Cookie 'Energy' ROM. How can I fix tis problem?

Best Regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
One day is pretty standard for this device.

Some things you can try;

Turn off your data connections

Limit e-mail and weather updates

Turn off all other updates such as stock, twitter, facebook, etc.

Check the Task Manager periodically for running programs making sure that programs have been closed and not just minimized.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] MoshPuiu:
I also have Cookie 'Energy' ROM (a version from june). Few calls per day, daily polling email and weather and I charge the battery twice a week. Almost all settings I left exactly how ROM was set by default (because settings are already optimized and tuned for energy saving)

Check your other app you have installed; EnergyROM is one of the best speed/energy rom.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] EgorLev:
First you can do is calibrate your battery. Sometimes it helps. Search forum for directions how to do it. If it doesn’t help, then you can flash official ROM ore AVATAR ROM to see if battery improves. If it does, it means that ROM you use is not battery friendly

Hi,

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've taken the time to search using google and search this forum and I'm not getting anywhere. I know people here will have an answer for me.

I'm drowning in all the information on this site! Great to see so much going on. I'm looking for skins of the most recent android phones to add to the android emulator for testing web sites. The only one I've found so far is the Droid, found on the teavuihuang site.

Any suggestions for downloads of the most recent skins for emulator?

thx

Hello guys .

I want the buuf skin keyboard for my Nexus One !

I Have it on Desire but it didn't work on my nexus :(

Can any buddy help me PLZ :o and port it for nexus ?

This is buuf keyboard for Desire : http://www.multiupload.com/DV7Y66SH1U

Give it some time and maybe someone will do it for ya. I actually have the BUUF keys in my skin kitchen for HTC_IME mod. You could create a BUUF themed HTC_IME mod keyboard for any device if you want.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
And cause I'm feeling nice, here is the Android keyboard from my nexus (cm 6/froyo) with the BUUF theme. (apk for adb pushing and zip file for flashing through recovery)

Use ADB to install it like so:

C:\Users\gIMpSTa\Desktop>adb remount

C:\Users\gIMpSTa\Desktop>adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app

Tested and working great here.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ehsan021:
Really thanks buddy its great .... :)

Can u create an update.zip of that ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Haven't tested it but just edited my previous post (for sake of keeping them in same place) and attached a signed update.zip. Should work, just can't test it right this second.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] figtab:
I have done some research and i have come to the conclusion that the cause of the SODs on some HD2s is the ambient/proximity sensors on the device. i have 2 hd2s flashed with the same exact rom(elegencia)/radio2.12.50/android build (HD2Froyo 2.1 by darkstone) and the same exact sd card formatted the same exact way. the first hd2 has no SODs at all but the second hd2 has SODs. when i aim a light source at the ambient light sensor and turn the screen on the hd2 wakes up instantly. when i move the light away and turn the screen on i get the SOD. please someone who is having SODs try this and see if you can confirm this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
I tried covering the light sensor so it reports minimum light, still I am NOT getting SOD. My HD2 wakes up fine, if not sometimes maybe with 1 second delay.

Miri WM6.5 v18.0 ROM

Shubcraft 1.5 RMNET

2.12.50.02_2 radio.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] figtab:
i want someone who is getting SODs to try and place a light source right at the sensors and see if their screen wakes up right away.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] .rob!N^:
Hi,

I can confirm it! If I put a lamp over the sensor, my device wakes up very well. There's only a max. delay of 1 sec. If I cover the sensor, I get SOD. Sometimes it won't wake up and sometimes with a big delay of 5 sec and more. Then I have to push the buttons very often to wake it up.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] byl233:
It didn't work for me, I did the test but found that my HD2 still got ramdom SODs.

my Radio: 2.12.50.02

WM: ChuckyDroidROM 21/8

Android: ShubCRAFT1.4d with 31/8 kernel.

Storage card: 16G Sandisk Class 4
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rkalas:
No change for me either. I tried it several times with covered sensor and with light and in both cases I had no single SOD. Anyway I experience SOD very often.

With research you mean exactly what? You have looked into the source code or just playing with your device?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ArchonX:
today i´ve changed my radio to 2.11.50.20 since that i got som SOD´s

the solution with a light above the sensor didn´t work but if the ambient light sensor is in the dark the phone won´t unlock

with radio 2.08. i never had any SOD´s for about 1,5 weeks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JamesSVK:
I can confirm your solution, SOD cause proximity sensor. I hope it will be fixed in kernel soon

Hey Guys,

hope this is the right section,

i have got some problems with my g1(european,at the moment DRC92).

I followed the following steps:

1) create goldcard

2) copy Dreaimg.nbh (RC7)

3) go into bootloader mode (camera+power).

then the following problem occurs:

the g1 seems to identify the goldcard.it says "press power to start update".then it freezes.it does not react on any button.

i tried 2 different sd cards and also downloaded the dreaimg.nbh from different sources,also tried different cases (because of case sensitivity).

is this a known problem?i looked it up in google with many different search words, but i didnt find nothing :(

greeting and thanks
[Wildfire Android Development] adeadrat:
If i decide to flash a new kernel or a new ROM or something like that..

can that brick my phone, or will I still be able to get back to the recovery menu if it fails really bad.

(Im not talking about wildpuzzlerom now..)
[Wildfire Android Development] danne_jo:
If another custom rom came you on the market, yes you can still go in to recovery and reflash another rom if it fails.

(if that custom rom maker dident include anything stupid as faulty radio or a new unlocked recovery)

It should be ok and you can always restore from a nandroid backup

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommo123:

is there a way yet of preventing them from starting automatically?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Q. Why do you have to kill them off?

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommo123:
they use memory and use the cpu from time to time. for things i only use on occasion it doesn't make sense for them to run all the time.

same with windows, programs add themselves to the startup list. it's pointless if you use those programs only once a week or so
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommo123:
anyhoo, tis working now.

ta all :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
IMHO, not enough to make any serious difference.

If the apps are not being used, they will consume little to no CPU cycles, and if memory becomes tight the system will automatically kill them off.

Yes, but the task management on Windows is vastly different to Android, so I don't think you can draw direct any accurate conclusions from the comparison.

My experience with Android stretches back to the US release of the G1 (~ October'08), and so I've been through all of these "performance enhancements" before (autostarts, task killers etc etc) on the G1, and then later the Hero.

In the long term, I've found leaving the system alone to do its own thing improves the experience and I regularly get 30+ hours usage from a single charge (heavy user) and absolutely zero issues with lag - your mileage may vary of course! ;)

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommo123:
i get that, i also (as a bit of a e-control freak) can't stand things running when they have no need to. i have the paypal app, and even though it's something i would probably use every few weeks, runs all the time. it would be more efficient to have power user disallow these from running except when needed. it's annoying really since i want control of what happens on my phone :o

i did say i was a control freak :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoHBoi1o1:
my concern is if the app is killing my battery ? I notice even with the task killer , I kill all apps (running ) but it appears again later on the list.

Will Autorun Killer stop the apps completely when not in use ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gatsu_1981:
Hello!

I have tried in the last 2 months at least 20 times to make it working.

Yesterday it was officially annonced, and, it IS working.

Sort of...

In "email" official Android Application, we can't have HTML mails.

And "birthday" is pretty ****ed up too... The format is strange, and birthdays aren't in my calendar. I have some people with accurate Hotmail account, with mail, phone number and birthday, so I am pretty sure.

What is the official reply on that?

Since it is not "officially" supported, we only get txt mails?

I would like to know some more exchange-skilled person on this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gatsu_1981:
Configuration

Configuration:

1.5 / 1.6 Devices:

No Exchange support

2.1 Devices:

COMING SOON

2.2 Devices:

Create a new account from Email application:

After filling username & password, click on "manual configuration", and select "Exchange".

Then after the "\" fill the field with complete email info, and put a "m" before "hotmail.com" in the "server" field:

When asked, just select "push" for email check, and if you care you can sync Contacts and Calendar too.

That's it!

Push (no HTML) email for every Hotmail / Live customer!

Thank you Microsoft, we loved your (borked) support.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gatsu_1981:
BTW:

I tested the trial edition of Exchange via Touchdown.

HTML mails are there ;)

And, I actually have a full-featured, complete Exchange account on my university mail account.

I am using it with push notifications from a month, maybe more, and HTML mails are there.

So, why the default mail application couldn't get HTML mails only with Hotmail?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skye Menjou:
Its not MS their fault.

Android hasn't got a decent ActiveSync HTML email viewer.

Maybe google will release an update?

Maybe maybe not.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gatsu_1981:
Then, why my other Exchange account is working smoothly, with the very same Email.apk?

I think that limitation is actually made on the discovery.

Sort of:

"If windows mobile 6.0 / 6.1 --> older exchange, no HTML"

"If wm 6.5 or better --> new exchange, HTML"

"if iOS --> new exchange, HTML"

"if Android --> crappy exchange, you stinks"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skye Menjou:
ActiveSync is just a protocol with settings, MS uses the default with regular settings.

It seems Android has a pretty bad application of the AS protocol.

Touchdown works fine so the problem lies in the default email client.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gatsu_1981:
If MS uses the default, why I can use my other exchange account, with the very same application, with push & HTML support?

Activesync exchange is not just a protocol. It actually have a lot of past implementation, and I think that fallback are implemented too.

It's now been around since a lot of years, and in the past it didn't support HTML mails.

Same problems here:

http://androidforums.com/incredible-support-troubleshooting/70074-exchange-email-format-no-html.html

This is a problem with a sort of fall-back that kicks-in.

Email.apk is recognized as an half-supported application, so no HTML.

The problem is not in the Email.apk application, but in the way Microsoft servers assign services.

Exchange full-featured servers doesn't do this type of check, they just works the way they should work.

Pretty good, if you ask me.

Only hotmail-poor-man-servers do this type of check, and it seems that even WM 6.1 users can't get HTML mails.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gatsu_1981:
Just found something:

Inside AndroidMail.Main.xml (preference file for email.apk), I can see my two accounts.

<string name="6cd5b269-4849-4c7e-8496-178f478ff5c5.protocolVersion">2.5</string>
<int name="6cd5b269-4849-4c7e-8496-178f478ff5c5.securityFlags" value="0" />

For Hotmail account.

<string name="b6130e67-37f0-48b0-aa3d-2132489377f6.protocolVersion">12.0</string>
<int name="b6130e67-37f0-48b0-aa3d-2132489377f6.securityFlags" value="48304132" />

For real Exchange account.

All differences are there.

http://www.exchangeninjas.com/ExchangeActiveSyncProtocolLogging

http://social.technet.microsoft.com...hange-activesync-client-comparison-table.aspx

Problem is, email.apk is perfectly working with rev. 12, since I am using it, and it even have remote wipe feature.

Look the "HTML Email" line: it reports "Yes" under 2.2 Google Android.

But, hotmail is reporting the application as 2.5 capable, so no HTML push.

I have brutally pushed a modified xml file, just waiting for some new email on my Hotmail account.

I don't think that will be enough :)

Edit: Obviously, that wasn't enough ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] audioscience:
I wanted to point out that configuration did not work for me until I deleted the "\" out of the Domain\Username field. Before I did that it would not connect to the server. I was racking my brain trying to get it to work, even with Touchdown, and it finally worked with the stock email app after deleting the backslash.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gatsu_1981:
This is really crazy.

In theory, the domain shouldn't be required, on iPhone you have to configure that way, with empty domain.

But here on Android the "next" button will not appear until the domain field is filled.

For me, it didn't work until I put "hotmail.com" after my username, but I left the " \ " before.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mysterd:
Hello.

Sorry if my answer is totally off topic, because I have no android device but a WM6.5 touch pro 2...

It seems that the new hotmail Exchange push service deliberately uses an old version (2.5) of the Exchange ActiveSync protocol...

We can't get HTML e-mail on Windows Mobile either... this is not related to the client application, but to the Hotmail service configuration...

Maybe Microsoft wants to spare their bandwidth...

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RambJoe:
I read on the comments on the Windows Live blog that HTML works on the iPhone.

http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...ar-and-contacts-with-exchange-activesync.aspx

Apparently it does support HTML, but as Android sees it as an old Exchange server, it thinks it doesn't.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] makelegs:
Awesome!!!

Now, when I wanna remember what life was like with my BB Curve.... I can just open my MSN.com email with ActiveSync on my N1!!! How I missed those hideous non-html emails! I guess it's just a tradeoff: HTML with Pop3.... or ugly emails that I can ACTUALLY DELETE!!!

WTF???

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Before you do anything. See if the phone can go in download mode. Hold volume down+ home and power button when phone is off. Let go off power button then home and vol down. If your phone can do that then its all good. Rooting phone is rather safe and i have not heard of anyone. Bricking from rooting. But you might need download and upgrade mode if something goes wrong.

not safe to do with you not have download mode

many people have done it and died (sent back to samsung for repair) because of that

yet there are more people that have done it and enjoyed the new speed

so my recomendation, don't do it

go exchange your phone, and get one that has working 3 buttons before you do the lag fix

or just wait a few more days for FROYO 2.2

and if it dies with legit official froyo for public release, then its under warranty....

but yeah that will still suck, it will still mean like at least 5+ weeks without a phone to use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] djr83:
Why would it matter if 2.2 is released? I'm not interested in flashing 2.2, I just want to do lagfix. If it dies because of the lagfix I guess an official 2.2 wont help me?

Is it even possible to get a new with working 3 buttons? I guess all the new ones have the download mode locked? And I'm not even sure I would be allowed to exchange it since it's really not anything wrong with the one I have.

they are mixed batches, even in new ones

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GunBunny07:
Okay so I've had my X10 since it came out, I text quite often and have about 10,000 texts to my gf and a few thousand to others. When I text someone that has like 100 - 300 texts the thread opens quickly but when I go to text my gf or someone else i text a lot it takes like 30 seconds for the thread to open and sometimes it doesn't respond so I gotta click on wait or force close.

Now I know that I could just delete the thread and it would start a new one but I don't want to really lose all that chat history I like to be able to go back sometimes and read them.

So my question is, is it like this for other people with a ton of texts aswell? Is there a way to fix it without deleting the whole thread and making another one?

I've tried to search for this on google or search for other text threads that i could download and use instead but haven't found anything.

If anyone knows a fix to this let me know it would help me a lot I'm getting to the point where I hate opening my texts because I have to wait about 30 seconds for it to load it's stupid.
