Try *#*#4632#*#* and then phone information scroll down and click radio off.

[Desire General] elburna:
Its 4636 ;)
[Desire General] tommo123:
is there a widget that can do this for ya?
[Desire General] mercianary:
Best way to remember that is *#*$info#*#*

Turning off the radio will disable 3g. You may aswell use airplane mode, its easier.

Edit. You can't cut the phone ability and keep 3g. But you can wifi.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Airplane Mode Wi-Fi is a widget which will allow you to reenable WiFi and Bluetooth whilst in Airplane mode, leaving the cellular radio off.

As has been already mentioned, you can't switch off the phone radio and have 3G, because they are one and the same.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rajkosto:
What i did was:

partition my sd card like so: i53.tinypic.com/14scy7q.png

using shubcraft 1.5_stock cyanogenmod

clone contents of rootfs.img to the 32MB partition there

clone contents of system.ext2 to the 200MB partition there

cp -ar shubcraft/media/* to data partition

cp -ar shubcraft/root/*.* to 32MB partition

cp -ar shubcraft/root/system/* to 200MB partition

edit initrd init script like so: codepad.org/HL4KDDrp

repackage initrd into this: multiupload.com/2H9069V3DF

i think so far this is good

edit rootfs init script like so: codepad.org/G81KrGMN

recompile kernel with ext4 support

put zImage, new initrd.gz clrcad.exe haret.exe and startup.txt, now i can put them anywhere, even on internal memory, because the kernel and initrd get loaded right away anyway, but i put it on sd, doesnt matter.

now, the first thing i notice is that all those commands between ==== tweaks ==== in the rootfs init script fail because the directories arent there.

then, the buttons on the bottom (other than lock screen button) don't work, probably because theyre using some patches for the buttons, that i didnt include in my kernel compile (even though i just used r10 kernel from github and then edits that were linked in that thread (source.zip))

it also seems to be running more slowly than with files, what gives ?

i ask someone experienced with android to link me to the correct patches, and maybe fix any problems in my initscripts if there are any (why do the tweaks fail ?)

Hi All,

I'd like to know if it is possible or not to load a different OS ROM into Samsung Omnia II i8000 ? eg. Android 2.2 ROM ? is it possible or vice versa, loading Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Pro into Samsung Galaxy S.

Thanks.
[Omnia II General] momyc:
I was thinking same thing!

I'm ready to buy a Galaxy S and I was wondering if can be converted to WM 6.5.x as the hardware is better than my actual Omnia II.
[Omnia II General] AlbertWT:
exactly yes, that is what I was thinking to do :-)

i wonder if it is possible here.
[Omnia II General] pitymonkey:
Must be possible, but nobody have made it. Windows Mobile 6.5 is outdated, i would like android at least.
[Omnia II General] AlbertWT:
yes, so do I man, I wish someone can share the instruction here or at least their experience in loading Android OS in Samsung Omnia II i8000 mobile ?
[Omnia II General] almar2:
Guys there isnt a real forum here for android on omnia II. But we have a great deal of the hardware working on it. Now the phone function isnt that long away. Look at:

You can see it is quite speedy. It has a 3x times higher filebenchmark than the galaxy s.

There will be a functional beta soon.

How to load different OS

I'm interested in doing the same but I would like to try Symbian. Just the method in how to load a new OS is kinda unknown. WM 6.1 (on my Omnia II) is pretty slow, and have heard symbian works extremely well on Omnia. My mate has it on his omnia I and man it's smooth. He's not one too available for helping though. Other options are cookers for WM but not so sure yet

Any help on where and how? Recommendations?

Cheers
[Omnia II General] Nickg.:
urrently there are no plans for porting to Symbian omnia 2, and I do not think is even possible, given the different resolutions (symbian 640x360 omnia 2480x800 )

[HD Mini General] lakov:
I am not sure that this is the most suitable forum to discuss my issue, but I do think that it doesn't really matter.

The HTC HD mini is indeed a new phone - BUT SHOULD GET ATTENTION AS THE OTHER SMARTPHONES.

There are no applications/games/whatever that are suitable to this small great phone.

The problem (according to my non-professional view) is the small screen.

I am sure that an easy application would addapt the screen to all WM6.5/HD2 applications.

Can someone take an action?

Please - all other HD mini users - say your thing!!!

YL:)
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Maybe if there's enough users, sort "critical mass", then developments will fire up.
[HD Mini General] firetiger:
It's like the treo pros and i780s. They were quite popular when they came out. But soon, very soon, better phones came quickly. Thus for the low number of SQVGA apps and themes. It's the same for the HD mini. Why get a HD mini when you can get a HD2? The HD mini is probably going to be forgotten soon.
[HD Mini General] lakov:
firetiger you are totaly wrong.

The HD2 has about the same properties as the mini. The mini is (!!) just smaller. It is the only smartphone (with touchscreen) that feets to your pocket!

Again, I am sure that there is a simple way to re-define the screen of the mini to make it work like his bigger brother.

I think bart3385 is right - like I said - HTC mini owners should rise their voice.

Or maybe HTC should work on it.....
[HD Mini General] frmariam:
The HD mini has an odd screen resolution (in fact it seems to be the only phone with that screen size... HVGA is a stupid res between QVGA and VGA)... This alone makes it a poor device. Every informed user should have known it was a bad product before they bought it.

I have a Samsung Omnia (WQVGA... was kind of popular in France if I got my facts right) and in the beginning I found that despite the screen being similar to regular QVGA (with just an extra 80px in height) a few apps didn't work (WVGAFIX came to the rescue later). Of course with the HD mini it's much worse... Its screen size is just a dumb move (HTC should have gone with a more standard res like VGA but once again they left the users to pay for their poor judgement).

Many (if not most) WinMo apps are designed for specific resolutions and don't dynamically scale... That's why so little apps work in your device. Seeing the ever decreasing popularity of the OS, the verge of WP7, the fact that this is the only phone with this screen res and the not so high popularity of the device I'd say there's not much hope... It's like asking for every app to be rewritten for the sake of one phone in a phasing-out OS... Sorry pal.

I don't think that a WVGAFIX approach would be as easy for this phone but it could be the best option (scaling your screen to WQVGA or QVGA...). I seriously don't believe that HTC will provide such a solution (so your only hope is once again xda)... But for the foreseeable future it seems like your limited to whatever comes in the phone and the few 3rd party apps that work.
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
HD mini has a better size, while maintaining a good enough screen size. And it's easier on the pocket, both physically and price-wise. It's got a very good, clean and simple physical design and back cover. The back cover material is ideal; add to it the exposed screws for an attractive industrial design. Its capacitive touch keys should last longer than the mechanical keys of HD2.

It would have been nice to give a VGA resolution to HD mini. But i guess the main point of a lower HVGA resolution is to allow the miserly 600mHz processor to keep up. For today's generation of smartphones, 600mHz is quite anemic. I'm guessing it could have a hard time if paired to higher resolutions.

For me, HVGA is not bad for this size of phone. Most apps will do fine. But I'm certainly not satisfied with the broken and severely restricted Sense UI that comes with it.

If we want restricted phones, we can easily go to Apple Store for an iPhone. The main point, or should i say, the love of sticking to WinMo is exactly its unrestricted flexibility OS. HTC missed this concept.

HTC, please fix your broken Sense. Make this phone what we all expected it to be.
[HD Mini General] frmariam:
So your reasoning is that the HD mini is a good phone because it's pretty and has a sensible size? I most agree with the latter (most new devices are gargantuan). Also real hw buttons is something not to be dissed. HTC phones were a lot better when they had their older circle/dpad button (at least they were a lot more functional... g-sensor and multitouch fall short as appropriate game control methods... not to mention HTC should have implemented a g-sensor d-pad emulator to increase usability of older apps).

The problem is not that the phone has a new screen size per se... It's the fact that having a non standard screen size introduces new problems and incompatibilities. As always the priorities were in the wrong place. VGA should have worked quite fine in a 600mhz cpu (older models worked fine in slower cpus).

If companies coded better they wouldn't need 1+Ghz cpus... Sense is a senseless waste of any phones resources for the sake of look n feel. By far not worth the resources it consumes. If it were a well coded C++ shell it'd be a good interface but since companies work in a cost effective manner they always prefer the easy and fast approach. That's how we end up with this sort of crapware (really a shell in Lua? that sucks even in the PSP homebrew scene!). Sensible resource usage trumps looks anyday in my book (hence why I already consider Windows Phone 7 a major fail... .NET and Silverlight... and it's not even pretty! Microsoft what the hell were you thinking!?).
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
My opinion is that it has good sensible size. But not necessarily good in every aspect. Like you, i have an axe to grind about the Sense UI. It's mostly broken, not thoroughly tested, not properly coded, and prioritizes eye-candy over real functionality. I'm also not happy about how HTC removed some of WM's core functions and replace them with their own broken software. HTC placed a lot of restrictions on this phone that is really pissing me off.

[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
Hello does this method works for x10 to make battery last longer?

Hi *******, I understand your concern regarding battery life on your Nexus One device. The following steps should significantly extend the battery life on your phone. Please connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it. You need to use this sequence only once. If the issue of battery life on our phone persists, I recommend you contact our HTC accessory department directly.
[XPERIA X10 General] krazykirk:
I don't think that exact method will work.

It could just be me, but whenever I plug my phone into the charger when it is switched off, it switches on the phone, which doesn't really help when you're trying to charge with the power switched off. :P
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
Mine won't charge switched off either, always turns on.

I just run my battery flat a couple of times, seems to help alot.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
Modern batteries are not supposed to run flat, from what i've been reading. They stay fresh if charged a little and often. I'm not saying anyones wrong, just what i've heard and read.
[XPERIA X10 General] johndub71:
They don't go flat as you'd expect. Lithium has an operating bandwidth. Say 3.5 to 2.9 thats your battery indication from full charge to low battery. Technically the battery is never fully discharged. As someone posted above, a little and often with these new batteries wins the race.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
I discovered the solution for X10 calibrate. My bat was showing 100% so i pulled ut the charger, turned the device of, took out the battery, put the charger in and finally putting the battery back. When phone was restarted my battery started charging from 88%. :-) hope it works the same for all!

Edit: after led turning off and bat showing 100% i did the whole procedure again, and again it starts charging from 88%!
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
I did it three times in a row now with the same result everytime!
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
After nearly 1h since stop charging i'm still on 100% after a few texts, checking xda on tapatalk ofc and surfing a few webpages, i was down at 99% but magically it restored itself when leaving it be.
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
Gonna try this myself. I'll report back soon.

Edit-

Mine starts to load at 88% too.

Edit2-

When loading, my Battery Indicator states "overvoltage" and shows 4,21 volts. On my second X10 it's only 3,77 and it doesn't say overvoltage. But when I take it off from the charger the voltage drops to 4 volts and stays at 3,77 on my other X10. Bizarre.

Edit3-

Battery life seems to have improved a lot. With the screen at 100% brightness and the sound on on Gameboid I only lost 1% per 10mins or so. Quite an improvement from losing 3% per 5min.
[XPERIA X10 General] Amuse:
thanks for the tip! my guess is that the x10 isnt fully charging the battery?

which is kinda werid because i am using my old X1 batt so it shouldn't be draining

this fast.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
Nice to see there are actually improvements, i had to rush to my buss while still doing the third cycle so i dissconnected at 96% and it then kept ticking up to 100% on it's own. It sounds worrying though that you get an over voltage allert, maby we should not do this to much if it might damage the battery. But a few cycles just to max it out can't harm?! I belive the 88% -> 100% went faster though for each cycle so this might be a sign that the battery is pushing to the limit little by little. I'm gonna go for a few more cycles to see the results of it.
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
Yeah, well I had only done two cycles when I noticed the over voltage and stopped there. It seems fine at the moment, temps are normal etc.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
I just did one "calibration" again and i actually played around so much with my phone today so when i got home it was on 10%, charged it to 100% and when doin the procedure it reset the battery gauge to 96% rather then the 88% i got earlier.. i wonder if it has any connection to my unplugging the phone at 96% this morning.... hmm, i just don't get this. hehe :P

Edit: second cycle now and i'm back to charging from 88%.
[XPERIA X10 General] piercewei:
Thanks for all your constructive ideas. Im also worrying about the battery damage because this is not an official measure. I'll try a few cycles however.

Can you please advise if the coming 2.1 will bring X10 extended battery life?
[XPERIA X10 General] ptesmoke:
tried the cycle, first cycle went down to 92%, didnt take long for 100%, second and third she rebooted at 100, sitting at 4.201volts stating overcharge. will update tomorro with a full days use.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
I honestly can not tell if my battery has improved from this, but i'm a very inconsistent user :-P
[XPERIA X10 General] ptesmoke:
i also cannot see a difference yet although i used my x10 an obscene amount today...
[XPERIA X10 General] Silly22:
I haven't tried this calibration by taking out the battery when full and putting it back in thing yet, but I have gotten over voltage condition when recharging anyway. It occurs in the 90% and higher region.

Usually, my voltage reaches 4.21V at 100%.

I have very good battery life for a smartphone; I think mostly due to the R2BA020 update for Canada/Rogers. Also, I turn off APN connection most of the time. I did a couple full discharges early when I got the phone and don't know if that had an impact.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
So this should meen that the battery is always charging at an overvoltage wich would also meen doing this cycle should not harm the battery more then normal.
[XPERIA X10 General] yournameshouldbehere:
Working :D

Used this :) did it three times and after the third time on reboot battery on 100% see how long my battery lasts now :D

Edit-Worked great but then had troubles with ROM so had to reflash. Now when I try this phone just goes into flash mode when USB is plugged in even before the battery. Help?

[XPERIA X10 General] Lion3494:
Does it work and how long is you guys battery life
[XPERIA X10 General] SErooted:
heres another one for you guys. if your on stock 1.6, there is no charge offline option. thats why it keeps turning back on.

Second, if you have put on a custom firmware, locate one that has the charge while offline option included or has the fix for it if not included directly in the firmware.

Third, if you want to extend battery life on the x10 run it till it dies completly! charge till it reads 100% then power off and pull battery. let stand for ten minutes then plug in battery and turn on.

Again if you are on stock 1.6 which hopefully by now no one is. lol. or on a firmware that does not support charge offline. you are killing the life of your battery as the x10 continues to push power to it even after it reaches 100%!!! The glorious wonders at SE didnt see fit to include that once charged at 100% that it will stop charging and only continue once battery life had decreased.

hope this helps as well. happy modding:-)
[XPERIA X10 General] wingz85:
Did this cycle about 3 times and can confirm this works very! Been running it for a couple of days and battery life has improved by about 50%.

What happens when are battery dies, and then we charge to 100% again.?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skrumzy:
I was curious about the max temperature for the CPU as I see many of these profiles setting up a reduction in OC if > 40. My problem is that I cannot maintain a temp below 40 with anything higher than 480 yet I see many people running 600-729. Could anyone shed some light on this for me.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The sustained max temperature you will see depends on what you are doing. Particularly if you have one or more radios going, you will experience high temperatures. For instance, streaming audio over the Mobile network or using tethering (WiFi tethering is the worst), it is trivial for the battery temperature to go above 50 C.

I saw 55 C once on my phone with a stock HTC 2.1 ROM (528 Mhz max) - I was streaming music, running a WiFi wardriving app, and also running the Nav app simultaneously on a 3 hr drive - in warm weather.

Unless someone on this board works as a thermal design engineer for HTC, it will be impossible for them to tell you what is too much - they would have to know what the thermal path from the processor to the battery is, and that's pretty much an impossible thing to guess at without pretty detailed calculations.

I set my temperature clamp profile to kick in at T > 50C; below that temperature, my phone runs at 768Mhz when it is fully charged. I would say that using the phone "normally" (as in extended internet browsing (reading, not video), texting, short phone calls), I rarely see my battery temperature above 40C.
