Incidentally, has there been any progress on backlight or OJ?
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Yea, I think I have fixed it, I will send you a test kernel later.
[Desire Android Development] purezero:
Any word on a fix for the constant backlight. It's the only thing keeping me from running this Rom all the time
[Desire Android Development] dorvaan:
I second this notion.
[Desire Android Development] BillThyCat:
I'll carry the motion.

Any objections?

Thanks :)

[Desire Android Development] purezero:
anyone tried 4.0.18 yet to see if the backlight issue is still there? Im tired of flashing every version. A working changelog would be sweet.

ps, not *****ing, its his rom and he can do what he pleases. just sayin.
[Desire Android Development] ScribbleDroid:
I just flashed .18, backlight stays on, gps seems to work, gvoice hangs at voicemail setup.

It's actually voice that keeps me from running this daily. VERY awesome. Flash works like a charm, everything is faster! You guys have done some amazing work here! Will be using daily soon.
[Desire Android Development] heavymetalmage:
I flashed it just to check the backlight and oj but I flashed back to stock right away. How is the battery life on .18?
[Desire Android Development] dave0812:
Battery life was pretty bad. Im sure its the backlight issue. Other than that i wuld still be running it
[Desire Android Development] PedroBogus:
I just attempted to install the latest version of OpenDesire - v4.0.34 and it bombed out at recovery install because I have the bravoc (cdma) version of the Desire. I have searched the original OpenDesire thread for cdma and do not find any cdma specific links. Is there a specific download that works on the bravoc? Is the backlight issue fixed now that the source has been released by HTC? Thanks for any info.
[Desire Android Development] Phocas:
Very curious on the answer to this as well.
[Desire Android Development] BillThyCat:
AdamG dropped all support for CDMA, all of his current OpenDesire roms are GSM only.

There is a Cyanogen rom currently in testing, it seems to run pretty good, a few people mentioned issues, but I haven't encountered them yet.

Blitz also has a CDMA rom, it's not as advanced as Cyanogen, but works fairly well, I ran it for 3-4 days without any issues. He's currently working on a new rom as well, so you may give it a few more days.

[Desire Android Development] Phocas:
Thank you very much for the rapid response. Hopefully more GSM developers will get crazy and support CDMA but I understand the reasoning for not. I just pray my next phone is carried by sprint. Thanks for the effort Mr. G and again Bill for clearing that up.
[Desire Android Development] coolcole1:
Look up dphase his roms for the cdma desire especially his froyo without sense works fantastic.

[Epic 4G General] fookxixi:
Yesterday, I was using the Google navigation on 3G network with the phone connected to a 500mA car charger. After 1hr, the battery dropped 20%...Anyone knows if a 1000mA car is enough??

Tonight, I was watching a Youtube HD video on 4G network (2/3 bars on 4G) with the phone connected to a 1000mA USB wall charger. After 10min, the battery dropped 2%...Well, even 1000mA cannot compensate the consumption of the battery.

The power consumption of this phone is ridiculous. Something must be wrong with the system/circuit design.

NOTE: I'm not complaining the battery but the power consumption of this phone. The charging cannot compensate the usage of the power. Think about a laptop. It's even more powerful, but you can use it freely without any concern about the battery as long as you plug it in an ac adapter. Why can't Epic 4G do this?
[Epic 4G General] darknatas:
man i been seeing the same problems i was listen to the sprint radio while hooked up to the charge and would see it stay at the same percent for about a hr before it went up 1%. this battery issues is making me hate the phone right now and i cant find any rapid charge programs or settings for this yet. cant wait for some custom rom to come out that hopes to fix some of these issues
[Epic 4G General] seven7dust:
yup 4g is a battery hog which is why people are complaining about battery life,I suggest you turn it off, it's just not worth it IMO, which too bad cause we're paying extra afterall.
[Epic 4G General] fookxixi:
I saw a post this morning. The 3G even consumes more battery on Epic 4G during browsing. so we can expect even worse under 3G.
[Epic 4G General] jazix:
I'm on my third Epic and they have all had battery drain issues. Battery manufacture dates ranged from July to mid August. Right now actually, I'm streaming some radio over 3g and have an AIM client running in the background and the batter is slowly draining while plugged into the charger included in the box.

I have tried a factory reset just to be sure any apps I installed weren't affecting anything and still no dice. Even with running navigation in the car while plugged into a usb charger the battery will drain about 1% every 5 minutes or so. I'm probably returning the phone for good in a few days :mad:
[Epic 4G General] Phen0m:
This is with 4G disabled, using SwitchPro widget to enable 3G. I also have background updates disabled(under accounts/sync), I manually do them periodically.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
That shoul be more than enough. I use a Motorola-branded 850mA microUSB car charger (quite cheap on Amazon). On a recent day-long driving trip, it was sufficient to maintain the battery level while streaming audio over 3G and simultaneously running GPS tracking. I don't think a 500mA unit would have handled the load, however.
[Epic 4G General] syntax_erorr:
I'm really starting to think this phone is an epic fail. I get from 1.5 hours to 2 hours of use from a full charge! Thats with everything off, 4G, wifi, bluetooth, GPS. The sprint store manager wouldn't exchange my phone because he said their is nothing wrong with it. If it takes 6 hours to charge and then I get 2 hours of use, this phone is worthless to me!
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
Yeah that doesn't sound right. I think most people would have a hard time making it last only 2 hours. Maybe gaming while running WiFi tether.

Keep in mind with CDMA, the lower the signal to the tower, the more power it takes to keep the connection active. For GSM this is less of an issue. How is the signal where you live?

An interesting side note. I plugged in my charger for my Bluetooth which is only 180ma and it went from 70% to "Fully Charged" in 10 seconds. When I unplugged the charger it went back to 70%. It really didn't like that low power feed.
[Epic 4G General] PlankLongBeard:
Sorry if it came out orange. I used screenshot the app and that's what i got. Anywho, its a perfect combo what I've done. See the up time, nearly 15 hours up time. I only lost 35% of life during the time too as you can see how full the batt is.

Remedies: Autokiller set to extreme. ATK: Set to aggressive, with auto kill set to when screen is off. Interval every hour. Cachemate: all settings lit up, so it clears about 12-14 MB every hour or 1-2 every manual clear. Set CPU: Conservative 1000/100 with set to boot. Notice, set CPU resets itself every reboot for now, just make sure your good.

Then you should be good as I have for TWO days on one charge nearly 24 hrs ago.

My battery has increased five fold with that evo fix after an hour and a half I've only used 6 percent of my battery
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
I would love to see more info/screenshots on this. The one SS you included somehow ended up thumbnail sized only. 2 days is nuts, anything over 24h would be.
[Epic 4G General] squizzi:
hey guys

I've been really happy with the battery life on my epic - I get about 12-14 hours with on-off use, 4G off. My battery is sitting at about 35% after playing a bunch of games for about 3 hours in between classes and it has been running off battery for about 8 hours, browsing the web, sending texts and downloading apps on both 3g and wifi.

I'm using Advanced Task Killer and its set to kill aggressively every half hour - it kills all apps except Juice Defender, itself and LauncherPro.

I'm running LauncherPro - if that matters - doubtful, but I didn't like touchwiz. And I'm running JuiceDefender on default settings. Basically it kills the 3G radio when screen is off unless its transferring > then 15kbs of data. The normal radio remains on for calls/texts.
[Epic 4G General] ss4rob:
What is the EVO fix? I'd love to try some extra tips.

My two cents - a typical day puts me at home and at work for the majority of the day and night, which both have wi-fi. I've turned off "look for open networks", "never allow wi-fi to sleep" and I leave wi-fi on. After a full night of charge I took the phone off of the charger at 11am on Saturnday and it finally turned off Sunday at 8pm - 33 hours is pretty darn good, almost two days. However yesterday I took the phone off the charger after leaving work at 6:30pm (so no wi-fi, just 3G) and in just an hour with watching a 15 minute long normal quality YouTube video, a few texts and a short phone call I was down TWENTY PERCENT. What the heck.

Over wi-fi, like I said, I'm good - great battery life since I'm not waking up the 3G radio to do anything. But when I get out of those wi-fi areas that's when my battery starts to drop. Anandtech is getting similar results with awful 3G battery:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/3891/samsung-epic-4g-review-the-fastest-android-phone/8

Something is wrong with the 3G radio, and I hope Sprint & Samsung seriously do something about it.
[Epic 4G General] oxeneers:
You guys are all failing to look at "Cell standby" details.

Time without signal on this phone - no matter WHAT coverage area you're in - is ALWAYS > 50%. This is bull**** and a Samsung software issue. Take a look for yourself.
[Epic 4G General] pjree:
I never had a problem with but I've been reading many having a problem with "Cel Standby" going out of control. Mine it at 17%. Highest I have saw it was in the upper 30's range after a full day (14hr)
[Epic 4G General] Phen0m:
Just an update on my usage from Pg.1:
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
I am not seeing this issue. Never seen it above 3%. Besides most of the battery is going to the screen it seems. I am actually wondering if it reporting the usage correctly. If the screen was really take that much of the power, it should be lasting a lot longer.

People getting great battery life are reporting they are using task killers and data connection blockers. That isn't even where they majority of the power goes. The system tells us it is going to the screen. Not the tasks or data connections. It seems counter-intuitive.
[Epic 4G General] TheMostToys:
Turn airplane mode on then off. (settings -> Wireless & Networks)

This will solve the problem until the next time you reboot. You must do this after every reboot.
[Epic 4G General] TheMostToys:
I'm working on a more scientific breakdown of power consumption. But here are some brief findings.

The highest power consumer is the display. Even on the lowest brightness setting it consumes more power than a normal LCD (I'm comparing it to my Evo). If the display is only showing a black background it is lower power, but then again if all it is showing is noting, it may as well not be on at all. If you actually want to display something on the screen, it consumes power like it's going out of style. So much for Super AMOLED being a power saver (total and completely false.)

The next highest power consumer is the 3G radio. Under similar circumstances (similar signal strength) the 3G radio is consuming more power than the 4G and Wifi radios combined. Wifi seems to consume the least, followed by 4G then 3G. This is crazy and if not fixed might be unacceptable.

Next is background apps, most specifically anything that uses the network (email syncing, social networking and location reporting services like latitude) being the worst. The sync settings on the Epic are not as robust as the Evo and I've struggled to gain control of gmail without just setting it to manual only. Do not use latitude and although some will speak out against task killers, having one to keep "maps" at bay is worth it alone.

Then there are more obvious things like live wallpaper. Or specifically anything using the CPU / GPU and GPS.

More to come, but right now, something must be done about the 3G radio and GPS or this phone could live up to the moniker of Epic fail. I really hope Sprint and Samsung are doing something because otherwise if the phone worked as it could, it would be awesome.
[Epic 4G General] jfenton57:
I'm not using any Task Killers...just managing via Running Services.

Unplugged at 5:00 AM (almost 15 hours ago) made or received 10 phone calls, sent 6 texts and did a bunch of e-mails and I'm still at 50%.

Way better than my BB ever did :)

I would like to install android to my t-mobile US htc hd2. I would like to somebody to help me by remotely connecting to my computer and help me do this.

I hate windows 6.5 it is freezing and texting is freezing. I really like to use android all the time.

I would like to pay for this service not much but something.

Anybody interested please contact me thru the forum private message or in this top.

I'm sorry if I'm violation forum rules but i need help. I couldn't figure out after 4 hours reading. thank you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
My advice to you, sell your Windows Mobile device, and buy a naitive Android device. Then you will have Android as it was designed, there are still bugs with the Android port on the HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koraykoray:
I see thank you for your answer. I will try that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3PH:
from waht you have said i'm convinced you have a stock rom which, to be honest, is a pretty sucky choice. The HTC stock roms all have bugs but i seem to find that the custom roms have fewer (i know it sounds mad, may be it's just me) Before you sell your HD2 try customising it a little bit. There is plenty of help available if you wish to look at this. I would even freely admitt there are people out ther that i have helped over MSN and they are all now very happy HD2 users.

Pm me if your interested but please remember i am quite frequently busy and i live in the UK.
[HD2 General] goodtilltomorrow:
hey guys.

i have a tmobile hd2 and i've noticed that my phone wont go past 50% with memory usage without having to restart itself. its very annoying. it happens after ive been using the phone for a while or been using the wi-fi router. my touch pro 2 never did that to me though so im wondering whats wrong.

help?

thanks
[HD2 General] goodtilltomorrow:
sorry to bump this but can no one help me?
[HD2 General] Deleted member 331338:
Is it getting hot? Mine gets warm after using WIFI router. Once, only once, and I have no idea why because it hasn't done it since then, it randomly rebooted. I understand that higher temps can cause issues with the HD2. I'd do a search but I'm too frazzeled after a long day of work.
[HD2 General] goodtilltomorrow:
it cant be the heat...my phone gets warm but not hot once in a while. when it resets itself, it doesnt have to be hot to do it.

and when it does reset itself, it forgets to start the gps so i have to reset it again

i hate when it does it...is that normal to not go past 50% ram usage? does anyone elses do that? im gonna call and get a replacement but does anyone elses HD2 not go past it?
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
You don't have your ROM in your sig, so I don't know if you have a custom or not.

For sure, you phone crashing that fast is a shame and not normal.

If you are running a custom ROM, try getting on that thread to see if someone has or had the same issue. Sometimes these things happen and fixes are pretty fast if the chef wants to keep an audience.

If you are running stock, you might consider giving a custom ROM a shot, especially some of the "Lite" versions out there.

Be sure to Task 29 between any flashing to wipe out all previous data. Spare bits hanging around can interfere with a new ROM in unpredictable ways, including developing a crash pattern specific to your device that doesn't happen to other users of the same ROM.

Please keep us informed of your progress, someday another might have the issue and be looking for your solution, even if that is a hardware warranty exchange :D
[HD2 General] goodtilltomorrow:
hmm, i can see the rom version and everything on my sig... =/

im running the stock rom.

i wanted to go to a custom rom but then i hate having to update the rom every time a new one comes out. you know? props to the chefs who do that though!

i just had it exchanged. it was too annoying to keep going on like that
[Epic 4G General] slowpain:
I have an Epic and and Evo. I must say it feels as if the dev support for the Epic is not as strong as it was for the Evo. I know the Epic was just released, but I was wondering if there was a different underlying issue why the Epic is slower on the uptake with the Dev community.

It makes me realize how much We/ I rely on the Devs to make great phones even better. To add to that, phone manufactures should be supportive and grateful when the phone the produce garnishes attention from the amazing Developer community.

Hello there, im trying to make a 6.1 rom with ESP lang but i can't port the one posted by Da_G be cause the rom maker cab sends me problems with some files.

I hope some of you can help me with the lang porting or any pack I can use.

I'm using Old style kitchen made by aeroflyluby
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Since you are speaking about WM 6.1 i suppose that you got the right build from the right Da_G thread....anyway ,here is the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=547314
[Windows Mobile] Lokmetro:
Actually I'm using that package that you mentioned but no luck, when i change the files from the SYS folder the program "my build os" sends me an error anywhere and if y solve it (by deleting the problematic file) the rom maker (the .cab that calls the pack of tools) sends me an error while is rebuilding the files so I dont know what I'm doing wrong.

Do I have to use the SYS files with or without the 0409(ENG) files or i have to replace them?

Is there any proble if I cant find any 0C0A(ESP) OEM folder files?

I hope you can help me.

Regards.
[Windows Mobile] af974:
If you are cooking for 0c0a then every 0409 folders must be left from your kitchen.

With 0c0a SYS you need 0c0a OEM at least OEM_Lang_0c0a otherwise your rom will not work.
[Windows Mobile] Lokmetro:
Oh i see. So i can extract 0c0a OEM files from any 6.0 dump folder? or I have to find a new oem folder files for 6.1?

BTW i'm cooking for a BenQ-e72 so I can't find any rom in spanish except for the one that came with my phone (WinMo 6.0)
[Windows Mobile] af974:
a_GWM 6.0 OEM should be work with WM 6.1 at least you will need a WM 6.1 Initflashfile.dat (it is in OEM_Lang), sometimes Da_G shares his build within the Initflashfiles for every language,check in that thread to see otherwise try to cook it with your 6.0 initflashfile.dat and check if something is missing in StartMenu.
[Windows Mobile] Lokmetro:
Thanks for the fast answer. I'm going to look for the WM from Da_G but I don't remember if i have seen that thread before, and btw I will take some time after I can post any advance be cause I'm not at home. for now I can only ask things if I have any question.
[Windows Mobile] Lokmetro:
I have tried what you said but no luck. the phone wont start. it just stay in black screen, i don't know what i'm doing wrong
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
can you xplain exactly where does your rom stucks? maybe is not a SYS trouble maybe is a XIP trouble due to not pòrting ok or maybe is the wince. nls WWE or any SYS pkg missed ;)
[Windows Mobile] Lokmetro:
Well the rom wont give me any image, it just shows me a black screen and the normal screen lights for the rest it does nothing.

Once i got lucky but I had problems with the Start menu be cause i wasn't able to see the icons, i think it was caused by the initflashfiles.dat but now I can't do it again
