[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eltrot1979:
I’ve recently upgraded the SD card in my desire to a 16GB class 4 and its giving me some major issues! I’m running OpenDesire 4.0.1 and the sequence of events was as follows:

1. Inserted new SD card and formatted with gParted: 512MB Ext3 and the rest FAT32 (Ext3 partition was at the end – hope that’s correct!)

2. Rebooted fine and all the apps stored on the internal memory were present and correct. Those that I had moved to the old SD card were missing so I uninstalled them.

3. Tried to install Estrongs file manager from appbrain using the fast web installer function. This downloaded OK but the phone rebooted during installation. Tried again but same thing occurred again.

4. Tried plugging phone into PC. USB debugging mode started up fine but I wasn’t offered the option of mounting the SD card

5. Unplugged USB and inspected phone storage menu to find that no SD card was mounted

6. Rebooted a few times, removed and reinstalled SD card etc – still no SD card detected by the phone

7. Booted into recovery, connect phone to PC and used the “mount USB” option in Clockwork mod. This was successful and allowed me to inspect my SD card on the PC. Noticed that Dalvik cache and some apps (those not included as part of the ROM) were present on the SD card (FAT32 partition) – OpenDesire must have moved them there automatically (but why to the FAT32 partition and not Ext3?).

8. Rebooted phone out of recovery to check that those apps that appeared on the SD card were accessible in Android. Found that they were, which is strange given that the SD card was still not being detected by the system.

9. Decided to mount SD card again via clockwork recovery method and formatted the FAT32 partition with gParted.

10. Rebooted phone and found SD card still not detected and all those apps that had magically been moved to the SD card by OpenDesire were (unsurprisingly) gone.

11. Tried a few adb commands that I found in another thread but didn’t seem to have any effect.

Out of ideas – can anyone help?! Will try old SD card tonight and see what happens, but I don’t think there is a problem with the new card since I managed to successfully mount it through clockwork. I’m also wondering why the apps were moved to the FAT32 partition instead of Ext3? I thought that’s what the Ext3 partition was for?

Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
The FAT32 partition must be the first partition on your SD card, and it seems from what you've said that you created the EXT partition first.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eltrot1979:
no the the FAT32 was first then the Ext3
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eltrot1979:
OK fixed. Managed to mount the SD card on the PC via clockworkmod, deleted all partitions and rebooted phone. Phone detected SD card and asked me to format it. Did that and then added a ext partition using gParted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharathgdk:
SD Card Cant be Detected on Desire(Solved)

Hiii... guys.. even i went through the same problem.. and tried formatting using Linux,Windows.. but nothing happpnd... as a final trial i tried it to factory reset(i.e., SD CARD).. by using hp usb disk storage format tool ......:) and it was successful...

As for now just google the Software

Good LUCK! ;)
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
From what I have seen, most battery life comparisons/stats are usually done with the phone in standby/screen off majority of the time.

I decided to do it the other way.

Last night to this morning:

I tried charging my battery to 100% but time constraints only had me charge it to around 84% (late for work).

I don't use/have a charger at work nor do I have one in my car. I work 8 hours straight (11pm - 7am) and I almost always stream pandora the entire time.

I am using the seidio extended battery and the only thing that stays off is wifi when I am not within range of any kind of open network (starbucks) or my own saved connection list. 4g/3g, gps, and background data are constantly on.

So, from 84% left the house and started streaming pandora in the car. Get to work about 15 minutes later with no interruption in streaming (just turned the volume down). I do shut off my screen while streaming when I put the phone in my pocket.

Surfed the web, watched some youtube videos, checked gmail and facebook (which auto sync about every hour and gmail notifies me of every single email I get), and played some games here and there (nothing great) throughout the night.

Basically my intent was to never let the phone sit and do nothing. The entire time pandora was streaming (browsing the net and streaming, checking gmail/facebook and streaming) but youtube would always stop pandora.

Got 8 hours of constant use. I don't want to say moderate/light/heavy as that scale changes from person to person. Moderate for one person may be heavy for the next.

I charged the battery in the phone because I don't have an external charger for it. Although I may get one because my charging method still involves me taking the battery out of the phone.

No task killers, no setcpu (I am rooted), no custom rom (from the dev forum).

I am using bakedsnack kernel #4, launcherpro, and I have personally uninstalled a crap load of stuff (even htc sense and rosie altogether).

My opinion is that all these gimmicks that we have to go through to get good battery life while in standy are not necessary. What is necessary is for the charging system in the evo to be revamped. This is my own opinion, but I think the charging system in the evo skips stage 2 of the charging process http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-12.htm which is why (this is what I think, I am no expert) so many people see the sudden drop from 100% down to whatever shortly after they unplug their charger.

It kind of makes sense as to why some people who charge their stock batteries in the ebay externals get better battery life, it's because they are actually being charged properly.

Again, this is just my opinion and I am in no way an expert on this. Just disclosing my experience and observations of my phone and it's behavior. Take from it what you will.
[EVO 4G General] Systemfraud:
That's pretty amazing dude. Me personally would consider your use for this test to be pretty heavy. I'm more than impressed to see 37% battery life. And from what I've been reading up on the external charger is definitely the way to go. Although it's quite a pain to have to charge our evos like this just for maximum battery life. Hopefully in the future releases of phones we won't have tis do things like this. As mentioned in another post the switching of the battery to charge it will eventually make the back door loose or maybe even break sooner than planned, which is a problem for people who don't have extra doors. I guess it's not a bad investment to buy extra doors though.
[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
Here is my take and i edited your post down to the points i am discussing.

First I like the fact you realize most battery tests and many of the people getting ridiculous battery life are idle most of the time (even if they say they are moderate use normally they have 1-3 hours of moderate use out of the 30 hours battery life they claim). I think showing actual usage time is much more impressive.

Now if you are going to do a battery post and talk about opinions and what your battery life is ... i don't suggest using an extended battery. you show that over aprox 8 hours of use (wont classify it as heavy moderate etc since you didnt) you lost about 50% the problem here is the extended battery from seidio has a much larger capacity then your standard htc battery that comes with evo (even if it doesnt actually have the 3500mah it is still a lot more). On a est i did i could play a movie on a stock battery for just over 5 hours before the battery drained using nothing but the stock install of a rom and without changing settings to turn things off etc. So in my opinion the battery life you are showing is actually a little low for that battery but that not really the point.

now as for the evo charging incorrectly. the reason why peoples batteries drop quickly the first 20-30 minutes (for most who have a correctly calibrated "battery") is because EVO doesn't have a trickle charge. this doesnt mean the evo isnt charging the battery correctly. the idea behind not having a trickle charge is it helps prolong the life of the battery it self at the cost of 0-10% charge depending on where it is when you take it off the charger.

While i personally would rather have the trickle charge and have to buy replacement batteries more often. it isnt that the evo charges incorrectly it. They jsut made the choice to try to make the battery itself last as long as possible at the cost of some battery use time depending on when you take it off the charger.
[EVO 4G General] pongoface:
These are my latest seidio 3500 numbers with correct battery conditioning. Going to try and duplicate these numbers. Most of about 10 hours was slacker and pandora. This was from 100 to 14 percent on 3500 seidio. Pics for your pleasure and debate. I was able to get another 8 hours standby from this point and hour of lets golf before battery died. That was my 2nd conditioning of the battery. Going on 3rd full slow trickle charge up now. The trickle charge on battery wall charger takes about 12 hours wtf but worth it. I just use my cheap china 3000mah to cover the time.
[EVO 4G General] npgeorgeuw:
Hey, what battery conditioning did you guys do? There's a ton of different suggestions and I am wondering if one or two have finally been proven to not be placebo.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
I decided to do the HTC charging method when I changed roms to cm6. I went into hboot after and wipe stats. Turned on and took about 20 minutes to get to 98% using internet. Anyways I let phone die. Plug it in and I have system monitory with history monitoring. So I go to bed, and wake up to expect 100%. Nope 80%. Checked the monitor and trickled from 80% to 70% for 2 whole hours. I did the HTC thing again for full charge. Repeated. Only charges to 80%!!!! I changed roms. Same thing.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
Your situation also points to my opinion that the charging system on the evo does not charge correctly. I am also thinking that the battery stats dont play a huge role but I still jave more monitoring to do.
[EVO 4G General] frifox:
I also prefer the constant-use benchmarks, and did one myself as well. Charge to 100% and then stream DI.fm using XiiaLive (96Kbps MP3) through WiFi (router in same room) + full brightness + screen ON (no timeout). My poor Evo lasted 3:55 before forced shutdown :p. Btw, running Fresh v3.1.0.2 with netarchy v4.1.8-cfs, no SetCPU or any other "battery saving" tools.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
I am at work now and when I get home I plan on charging the stock battery as best as I can and doing another constant use run to satisfy the crowd who run the stock battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] djr83:
Today I realized that the calendar tone in my Galaxy S was way too short and that it only played once. After looking through all the menus I had to ask my friend Google and I was chocked to find out that it's not possible to change the tone in Galaxy S.

Is this really true? And what's worse is that the function is available in vanilla Android. How can they remove something useful and dont replace it with something better, or at least ANYTHING? :mad:

I tried Calendar Snooze but it wasnt that good. All I want is to be able to change tone and also so it will keep playing until I do something.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demercie:
Hi Guys,

First thing, I would like to thank you all for the great work you are doing, so thank you !

Now, there is so many custom ROMs available that is a real challenge to select one.

I understand that there is 2 or 3 categories of ROMS : Sense, No-Sense, Stock, and on steroid ;-), but for the details it is quite challenging to choose one.

Would it be possible to a have a ROM matrix that would show the key features, goals, and orientation/direction/philosophy of each rom ?

thx again !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] art0rz:
There are a few sites which list ROMs (which I, sadly, do not have the links to) but they are usually outdated and not maintained very well. Currently the best way to find the ROM that best suits you is to just take the plunge and try a few out.

Maybe some people want spend some time bringing it up to date.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geases:
Hi this (h t t p://db.androidspin.comandroidspin_release_matrix.asp?android_phone_ID=3&android_build_base_os=&android_developer_id=&go=go) is also a nice matrix but sometimes it isn't up to date ;-(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st0kes:
Maintaining these lists is difficult, they always go out of date pretty quickly.

There is an XDA wiki page for the HTC Desire which has a lot of the roms listed but it also is out of date. I reckon having it in a wiki is a nice idea as any of us can edit it and keep it updated.

How to extract from a Rom ? Ty
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thom_house:
Just take the stock rom and extract it with WinZip, 7Zip, or whatever program you use. Then go into the extracted rom folder -> system -> app. Find your apk you wanted and copy it to your phone and install.

You could also use SwitchPro for your widgets.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dezel29:
ty, i actually just bought switchpro for that reason...but i do like the widgets of the stock rom for wiresless and 4G...will try that...ty

Hi, I am new to the forums, after searching through the posts last night I couldn't fix any problems. Am very disappointed with the samsung galaxy s, the phone stalls throughout the menus, signal is terrible, and the battery life is a disgrace. I am on orange network, after coming from a blackberry which I didn't really like I wish I would have chose a different phone, 24 month contract and £100 for the upgrade! Also lots of things crash back to the menu, sorry if this is an annoying post but if anybody could help with any fixes in step detail that would be great. I am from the UK, seems to be so many problems with the samsung galaxy s, that just wouldn't happen on the iPhone infact or any apple products. Any help would be great cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
Hello mate.

As another user of an sgs who wasnt initially happy with it, I'd recommend the following :-

1. Download "lag fix" by ryan za from market. Install it, run it, use it to root your phone, then install ext 2 tools and then lag fix in that order.

2. Once that's done, download "autokiller" from market, then run it, choose menu, presets, and choose strict, and then press apply

3. Optional: download launcher pro, and use that instead of tw launcher. Perhaps disable ui animations in the phone settings.

4. Enjoy

I'm using jm7 firmware, but you should still get your phone performing very well with the above steps

[Fascinate General] Silex73:
Hey guys,

I'm on a family plan with 4 phones eligible for upgrade. I want the Fascinate but no one else does and I was curious if I could upgrade my line (line 1) and set the free phone up to another line (line 3)... then when the phones come activate both lines 1 & 3 then activate line 3 on its old no data plan required phone. And keep the free Fascinate as a backup?

Now the question here is if I do that would I be charged data on line 3 even though its using a dumb phone? Like is the contract when I get the 2 phones mean that I have to pay the data for all 2 years, because I think (hope) that this would work.

Any thoughts on if this would work, or if I am just completely missing the mark with this?
[Fascinate General] wisenick:
The data would be prorated, in other words it might cost a dollar, do it!

what's stopping us from getting two and selling one?
[Fascinate General] orateam:
My thought exactly. Buy two. Pay the ETF for the 2nd phone and sell it. At the very least we only need to get $325 back and anything over that gets us money back in our pocket.
[Fascinate General] Silex73:
Yea thats another thing you can do too, but I want to have it as a backup phone so I dont have to pay for the insurance.
[Fascinate General] dr154:
to be honest i dont think it will work that way since its for new 2yr agreements, but good luck, let of know the outcome.

I don't think the version of Android is the issue, I think the guy that develops ROM Manager just can't be arsed to implement support. Besides, yanks haven't even got the X10 series yet. It'll grow in popularity a bit when it goes across the ocean, maybe then.

On CodePlex I have published my app for tracking working time.

It is based on the SenseUI SDK.

SenseTimeTracker

For furter feature development either this thread can be used or the discussions in CodePlex.

After getting some feedback according to installation problems, I figured out, that the deployed .cab file does not contain the SQL Server Compact 3.5.

This has to be installed manually until I do not provide a msi-setup.

Explanation on how to install the .NET Compact Framwork 3.5 and/or the SQL Server Compact 3.5 has been added on the CodePlex page.

Version history:

Version 1.3

* Length checking of input fields

* Bug fixed with reports when first time card has date in january

* Issue with localization fixed

* Category edit form localized

* Creating new category did throw an excexption

* Default category is hidden in category list

Version 1.2

* cab file now creates a shortcut

* new version detection added

Version 1.1

* Initial release after UI redesign
