I have to say that when compared to Nokia N900 the a2dp sound quality doesn't seem to be as good. The music sounds somehow thinner. To make these comparisons I have used the same media files, same nokia bh-214 handsfree and same sennheiser mx550 headphones.

I hope it is possible to somehow tweak the a2dp sound quality since i think it's all a question of a2dp audio quality settings.

It has the be said though that in contrast to nokias bluetooth implementation the android one does handle switching from music to phone calls and back quite flawlessly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maurille_d:
I have this problem with my HD2 that i just can't seem to track down on this website just yet, and i have seen one or two persons having the same problem.

when i try taking a picture on my hd2, the picture comes out really sweet i must say, but when taking the pic at night i realise that the dual led's have a lag with the picture actually being taken (about a half second difference), so that the picture is taken AFTER the flash has already stopped, thus leaving the pic as dark as ever, is there any fix for this yet? i'm using mattc Leo + Froyo w/sense 1.8 [kernel: 2.6.32.15 #5] anyone else here having this issue?

i tried out the search but could only find other people having problems with brightness of the flash and other such issues but not the same as mine so i opened a new thread sorry if i didn't enter the correct search criteria and thanks for your time. :D

That build uses the EVO kernel, the camera flash is a very well known problem right now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maurille_d:
so you mean there's no fix to this and i can't take any photo's at night or in poor lighting? are there any other roms out there that don't have this issue? (and can run as smoothly as this one cuz i find it to be pretty impressive minus the issues i have with the camera flash ofcourse) thanks again!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maurille_d:
please people, is there any build out there that doesn't have this issue? are all the builds here created from the Evo kernel, and if not are there any that don't have this issue? i mainly take pictures at night (usual night life activities) and this doesn't help out at all when the camera lags behind the flash.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Matzemink:
Here is a simple but VERY useful tool!

A widget which shows the actual current.

Goodbye to such sayings like "My battery lasts 4-7 hours" or "about 10% per hour" ;)

The value refreshes every 30 seconds at most!

Set the update intervall to 1 min and leave your phone for 10 minutes in standby to check the standby current.

Note: Unplug the charger!

Note 2: It seems that you need a working battery driver!

I think we can use this thread for reporting the currents of the different builds (settings, kernels, WM ROMs etc.) to find the best battery saving build/combination.

So please report your best (standby) values here!! :)

(with Build, Kernel, WM Rom, maybe Radio ROM)

Download:

All devices:

Search in the market for "CurrentWidget" or download the CurrentWidget_v0.16.apk from below (and place it in /andboot/androidapps folder on your storage card).

Xperia X1 aka HTC Kovsky:

Linux MSM/Tremere's Kernel:

With xdandroid build download CurrentWidget_v0.16.apk

With CM6 and other builds download CurrentWidget_all.apk

sp3dev's Kernel:

Take the market version or download CurrentWidget_x1.apk and place it in /andboot/androidapps folder on your storage card

Thanks to the developer Ran Manor!!

There is also a donate version in the market

i am using tremeres 27/9 build but get 0ma reading. am i doing something wrong?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Matzemink:
You've taken the version from the market?

I think Ran hasn't uploaded the new version yet. Wait for v0.16 or download it from above.

xdandroid support has been added in v0.16 by Ran (and me :D)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] calvinfoo:
oh ok i used the new version above and it works thanks.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
This widget wrote into logs that standby is using 8mA:eek:

I really doubt that this is correct. Anyone have simmilar issue? I have Neopeek CM6 with latest XDANDROID build.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] denyboy:
This data is 100% correct becouse its true data.

If phone dies after 6 hours its 100% correct data.

% per hour is also correct and valid data becouse its measured in WM.

Who can guarantee that data from this application is true. It gets data via android...the same background as battery life and status which is incorrect.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Matzemink:
No it's not. Only the current is 100% correct.

You wanna say "4-7 hours" is correct?

You also can't say "the phone dies after 6 hours EXACTLY".. 6 hours standby? Light use? Heavy use? What means "light use" ?

It's the same reading like in Tremere's "current.sh".

You wanna call Tremere's work into question? :D

Hi

Build: 03-10-2010 Special Edition-CyanogenMod6.0 Sony Xperia X1

Kernel: XDAndroid-kernel dated 28-08-2010

WM ROM: Shady313 Make Your Own Series [23134 Release 1][29/08/10]

I'm running Neopeeks 03-10-2010 "Special Edition-CyanogenMod6.0 Sony Xperia X1". Followed all of the steps in Neo's setup exactly.

Have turned off absolutely everything in Android but I still get readings ranging between 650mAh in standby up to approx 820mAh according to my own readings and confirmed by the log.

Suggestions/ideas anyone in how to decrease the current?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] denyboy:
I always put all android ports under same enviroment and same configuration. And i test it for one hour without any use. So its reliable data for comparision.

And is there anything more reliable than the fact that with one port your phone works on stanby without any use for 4 hours, other for 6 hours, and other for 2 hours. This is 100% correct data.

Your phone can feed you with information that consumption is low and state is ex. 50% but who cares when in reality your battery is empty and your phone shuts down.

As far as i know battery status and state is incorrect and not reliable in android ports for X1. What makes this data from this Widget reliable when it comes from same background as battery status and state.

Im not beeing offensive and im not an expert. Im just trying to see things logicly.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Matzemink:
It seems that you need a working batttery driver for correct readings..

so use Tremere's kernel 27/9..

Or did you still leave your charger plugged in?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Matzemink:
Updated first post with a version for other android builds than xdandroid (i.e. CM6).

(Remember to use Tremere's kernel!)

Please report whether it works.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Frakatchoo:
It's a nice tool ! Just a question... I don't have more place for widget, and don't want widget like this. So i search for the same tool but as an application (not a widget) with notification icon (Like "Battery Indicator"). Ran Manor please read me ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] elburna:
Yeah would love that too. I am used to BattClock from my old WM-Days. The actual current was always displayed in the NotificationBar and suprisingly it didnt use any battery although it was updated quite frequently... Any chances to implement this in Android?

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Someguyperson:
I'm getting the Error 1 message too. I'm using a Droid 1 with CM 6 on it.

I'm starting to think that this widget is only for the XPERTA X1 though. I mean, the thread is in the XPERTA X1 portal and you have trouble with your Galaxy S and there was another person who had trouble with his Droid X.

The fact that this needs a certain kernel to work leads me to believe that this widget refers to a particular section of code in the kernel that is not standardized.

In this form, I think there should be a disclaimer about using non-XPERTA devices.

[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
So i've been watching videos of both stock android (Nexus one, G2) and videos of the Desire HD rom with Sense on other devices. Something that's become quite apparent in the sense rom is that HTC decided to strip a lot of the nice animations that make stock android pleasing to the eye.

Examples include, when you open and app you get a zoom in effect, and when u close it u get a zoom out. Also when the keyboard pops up it sort of slides from the bottom. Another is when you open the app tray, the icons fly in.

But on sense there's no animations. Everything just appears instantly. That really is sort of putting me off Sense, and that's a big disappointment considering i like the look of HTC's widgets.

Has anybody else noticed this? What do you think of it?
[Desire HD General] mark wild:
:D

Agree to disagree... :)

...

Must say, you are right, but aren't the guys from Cyanogen Mod going to do something about that?! :D
[Desire HD General] :
CyanogenModders only work with stock Android, so whatever magic dust they decide to sprinkle on the DHD, it will not have Sense in the mix;)

Next week is looming large... Im gonna take a day off work to show my new baby some love when it arrives;))))

I had a nexus and the zoom's are really nothing to write home about;)

JD
[Desire HD General] bratfink:
Wrong

Im sorry to say but you are wrong. If you go to the display settings and under animations set it to 'All' you will get keyboard sliding animations, screen transition animations, the only thing you dont get is a 3D effect with the app draw, but it does slid nicely into view from the bottom and is just more professional. However as mentioned previously its android, customise! Add all the animations you want!!
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
seriously? well i've only been going by what i've seen from videos ( i dont own an android phone). Could u provide a link or video showing this?
[Desire HD General] MacaronyMax:
In the setting there is a window transition option. I have mine on very slow, Looks Great :D
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
could u tell me what all the options are? thanks
[Desire HD General] v-b-n:
The Desire HD Sense has a fade in/out effect by default for both Sense tabs and applications unlike older Sense versions ... its actually very pleasing and runs smoothly on HD2 so definitely will be awesome on the actual HD :D
[Desire HD General] Ik Desire:
Animations are nice eyecandy, but everytime they play you have to wait till they are finished. After some time they'll only anoy me. I am happy with as few animations as possible, so I turned them off. Just my humble opinion.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hendusoone:
NOTE: The below info is all pretty outdated now that the fantastic Paul O'Brien has created a one-click temp root app called VISIONary. I recommend using that - get it from his thread! In case you don't want to do that (what are you, some kind of masochist?), or want to see the old way of getting temp root, keep reading this thread.

Insert the usual disclaimers about "if this breaks your device, it's not my fault... do this at your own risk... voiding warranty... etc."

Note that for now, this is a TEMPORARY root. And things are now well over my head... I just got lucky with figuring out the first few steps. For now, I'm going to leave it to the fantastic folks over in the thinktank thread to figure out how to make this permanent, and will help out wherever I can.

Update 10/6/2010:

Per suggestions later in the thread, I've compiled a zip file of everything needed to set up a temp root. I've also made some tweaks to the root script, included in the archive as "root" - notably, it will now create symlinks to busybox for commands not included with default android (example: cp).

Here are updated instructions to use with the attached zip file. USB Debugging needs to be enabled:

Stage 1: On your PC

1. adb push su /sdcard/su

2. adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk

3. adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage

4. adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox

5. adb push root /data/local/tmp/root

6. adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rage /data/local/tmp/busybox /data/local/tmp/root

7. Disconnect phone from pc

Here's an alternate Stage 1, thanks to Aphotix:

BATCH FILE DOWNLOAD HERE

Stage 2: On your phone (Assumes you have already installed Android Terminal Emulator from the market)

1. Launch Terminal Emulator

2. /data/local/tmp/rage

3. Wait for the message: "Forked #### childs."

4. Menu > Reset Term - Terminal Emulator will exit.

5. Launch Terminal Emulator, it Force Closes. Launch a second time, and you'll have a root shell

6. /data/local/tmp/root

Stage One only needs to be done once. Stage 2 needs to be repeated every time you reboot your phone.

Follow the Thinktank thread for progress on a permanent root solution.

Special Thanks:
