Using your phone as a gps in the car will drain the battery but not because of the gps but because you have a 3.7 inch screen on all the time, and if during the day, at full brightness. I think a couple of hours in those conditions for any phone with a large quality screen is more than reasonable!!

I use "cardio trainer" to track my runs when i go out, i tracks me all the way without a hickup and i am listening to musing all the time as well and in 1h it will only go down 10% so gps doesn't drain battery it's the screen.

Sometimes when i go out i also have problems getting a fix but it's just a question of closing "cardio trainer" turning gps off then on again, wait 5 seconds and then turn "cardio trainer" back on; works every time!!!!! Desire has a really good gps!!

PS: i'm on stock unbranded froyo

u comparing oranges to uhmm..water mellon powered nuclear reactors lol...nokia e52 has a lousy 2.4 inch display..so right off the bat desire has +50% + larger screen surface...plus navigating by watching a screen THAT small is truly dangerous as well..

I've had different experiences with the GPS in my Desire. It was able to lock my position when travelling in a train going 180km/h, on a rainy day (no visible sky at all) in Google Maps (that dot was moving FAST! :P).

But sometimes it fails completely to lock my position, and this has happened on both days with completely clear sky and cloudy days. But it usually works. Restarting the device helps.
[Desire General] chris2busy:
maybe there were solar flares

I had similar GPS issues with my Desire, couldn't get a fix at all / waited around 30 mins on couple of occasions. Then I tried this gps assist app, works similar to the one I had on my touch HD / winmo.

Now I get a fix with iGo in a 2-3 seconds :D

The app name is GPS status and toolbox

As the title says, I get some noise when i listen to music with my SE W600 Bluetooth headset, but only in Sense roms (and desire HD roms too) and I have tried with two different Desire phones. :(

At techradar they have noticed something like this too:

www [.] techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/htc-desire-679515/review?artc_pg=8

So I wanted to hear if some one can make a fix for this or if anyone else have experienced this too.

I should say that this isn't that noticable but enought that I get annoyed when listening to music, and was forced to change to vanilla froyo.

I HD2 and in turn I booted normally and the green version of the HTC ROM and radio, and just nothing else that's done ..... I tried to reinstall the ROM and radio, but here and there as if no OS should not even understand it, because I was there (weird huh? xD), but nothing I did not do it (except for normal use), so you have somewhere to guide need to install a bootloader and OS over or through the card, but just the bootloader?

Or any application you guys know that can be used if its not in the ROM?

Thanks in advance and sorry if I posted in the wrong section!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obyn:
i think this belongs in general or q&a, but try out acontacts, nubdialer and dialer one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonshield:
You can try Dialer one from the market, for free

It is a smart dialer that supports multilanguage search.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -2y2k-:
but i was hoping one of the 2.2 ROMs would have it built in? if anyyyy plz tell!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floomat:
just download one of the one said above,

you can use them like they were built in...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Moved to Q&A as not development.

I think some of the ROMs have it built in. You can install it from market though for free :) I prefer nubdial

if anyone cares... i ended up picking:

acontacts, i didnt like the look of the other two which were both similiar and this one has a lot of customization options.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vic000:
Hi everyone. I was wandering if there was a way to disable "show all sms" all the time you use the htc shell; mm.. how can i describe it?

All the time an sms arrive, and you go to the tab, you see the message, ok?

Then you press on the text, it goes back a bit and then it changes, showing you all the conversation with the contact who sent u the message. Now, it is cool, right? No problem, i agree. But it gets a bit slow if it has to display lots of sms, thousands. Now, i don't want to cancel them, and i was wandering if there was a way to "display last 20" or something like that.. cuz it takes me a lot more than 3 seconds to display them all!! : |
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DeMiNe0:
Since it has become hard to find a good working version of Swype (Legally of course), I've been looking around at other keyboards that are similar to Swype, or even completely different, but are still better then the default keyboard.

When I did use swype, I actually only used the swyping feature 50% of the time, so that believe it or not is a feature I won't really miss too much. The big deal with Swype, and the reason why I still keep swype on my android is the design of the keyboard. I find it much easier to type on it at a fast pace without actually messing up. I always screw up with the default one.

Anyone have any recommendations for swype replacements?

Edit: I want this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6eKm1gUnTE :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nhutpham:
If you like the keyboard design, you might want to consider using HTC IME mod, you can customize button size and spacing. All in all, the default keyboard is much better than you think, because of the many options.

I still use swype though, it's just too sexy.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DeMiNe0:
OK, so a small update for people in the same boat as me...

I downloaded and tested several new keyboard.

SlideIT, Better Keyboard, Smart Keyboard, and Ultra Keyboard...

IMO Ultra Keyboard is the winner BY FAR! It's pretty cheap, and IMO i like it alot better then swype. It has some amazing features, like camera mode, where it will show the view from your camera while your walking and texting so you dont run into anything, it also has swyping, which works just as well as swype. Tons of other features too!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Interesting. I've never heard of Ultra Keyboard. I'll have to check that out.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] NeWcS:
Sounds interesting, gonna give it a try
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] willy900wonka:
Shapewriter.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] baldandtopless:
I've been using ultra keyboard for a few months now. The customization is really second to none. It's built in vocabulary/dictionary is very in depth as well. You're going to have to spend some time fine tuning sensitivity and such. The built in mic and translator is very useful as well.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ahess0815:
I am currently using the Droid multi-touch keyboard and it works good for me
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ms79723:
Ultra Keyboard a monster. I think imma go back and play with it again a little more now that I have my rom and kernel on lock.

That keyboard lets you limit the number of suggestions and you can even move the suggestion bar wherever you want. I even think you can "swype" with it. They did some work with that keyboard. Good buy. That and Smart Keyboard Pro and IME Mod. Those are the keyboards right there.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
I'm honestly liking Ultra Keyboard more than Swype right now for a few reasons:

1. Adding and removing words from the dictionary is extremely simple and actually WORKS (I could never remove anything from the Swype dictionary; I swear I told it to delete "wil" 20 times).

2. I don't get a pop-up every 5th word telling me that the word I typed was "hidden" by another word like with the latest Swype beta.

3. Different pop-up menu means I can quickly select the word that I want if it wasn't detected without pressing a button to open the word choices menu.

So far the only thing that Swype has over Ultra is being able to swype from the exclamation point/question mark to the space bar to insert one or the other.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jta462:
I had the black and red themed swype and it was by far the best keyboard I've ever used. It even seemed to swype better than the beta. I'm currently using swype. A friend logged into his gmail on my phone and got me the latest version. I feel for you though, when I lost my b/r swype I quit typing all together for a week, nothing can compare.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mgene63:
I have to second this. I have had swype for a while and gave shape writer a shot since the newer version of swype wasn't as good as the old. I'll tell you what I like far and away more than swype with one exception. I haven't figured out how to type a _ Small price to pay for a much better experience.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
I remember that when using Shapewriter! It's like they just totally forgot about the underscore.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sailendu:
Press the "@" and it is there in the suggestion bar. I had to search for a bit myself. But I agree with oyu. I've used SWYPE and find Shapewriter to be much better.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DraginMagik:
i liked shapewriter. havn't been able to get it to work right since they sold.

swype is nice, but they seem to be playing some kinda stoopid game. either put the app on the market for us or retract it and sell it to a manufacturer or provider.

thank you for the heads up on UltraKeyboard. i look forward to trying it out. the idea of the camera-view is a nice idea.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MercuryTangent:
Dude, thanks for this. Just downloaded Ultra Keyboard and I love it! I was down in the "Swype-beta-expired blues" and now I'm up and rockin' again :).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] knives of ice:
definitely like ultra keyboard better than swype thus far. any good tips for ultra keyboard?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Samzebian:
I have a love-hate relationship with swype. I love to use it, but only when it works. I am in th beta program, but unfortunately the software decides to stop working all the time, and the only remedy is to switch to the stock keyboard (which is a great keyboard... until you try swype, which makes it seem like an archaic means of typing) and switch back to swype. This is extremely annoying, the newest beta is riddled with problems like this (including bugs and issues with dictionary words). I'm going to try ultra keyboard, see how that fares for me. Maybe I'll go back to swype when a new update comes out.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DraginMagik:
ultrakeyboard is nice. it'd be helpful if they allowed a 3 or 5 days to muss with it. so many options!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] slugbug2010:
Ultra Keyboard for sure! I have also used it for several months. I liked Swype but didn't like that it doens't have a microphone. The microphone for Ultra is soooo good - it gives you severla options for what you said in case it "captured" it wrong (which it rarely does). Plus it is fully customizable.

Ultra + Handcent = daBomb!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JvIo55iBl3r:
guys, try swiftkey, bet you are gonna love it. much faster than Ultra and Swype. the word prediction is really awesome.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] antiphon:
I second that. SwiftKey is all I use now. I type faster and almost never have to type out a full word now. Plus the paid version has swipe gestures which are awesome!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dahauss:
Tried SWIFTKEY for a while... Coming from the SWYPE world on the WM TP2 and on ANDROID, I couldnt get away fro SWYPING when I type. SO, when I found out about ULTRA KEYBOARD, I gave it a try. Let me just say it is the best keyboard. I can SWYPE if I want to or TYPE and its the most accurate I have seen. SWYPE gave me too many "this word is hidden by this word" and also seemed to bring up too many suggestions for what it THOUGHT I typed. ULTRA seems much faster.. I did a comparison between swype and ULTRA as far as swyping a sentence to see how accurate it was. ULTRA WON with every word correct and swype missed some words that I had to go back an correct or pick a suggestion. I also like that ULTRA has the MIC and also a TON of customizations right there on the menu bar.

ONE VERY IMPORTANT thing is that SWYPE (at least the version I have) DOESNT have arrow KEYS... ULTRA DOES and you can turn them off and on and even put them in a pop-up window!

BTW - I had the paid version (still have it but removed it off my phone to save memory) and it didnt have SWYPING in it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
All Swypes have arrow keys. You swype from the Swype key to the SYM key.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lehalter:
Thank you for this. Do you know of there is a way to get the microphone to show?

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Neo3D:
I just tried the ULTRA KEYBOARD, daym! That is one fantastic keyboard! It resolves all the stupid issues I had with Swype.

I'm no longer using Swype. If you haven't heard of Ultra, give it a try!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dahauss:
Yep. Much better than swype.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] djpaulie:
+1 for Ultra Keyboard.

I checked it out based on this thread, and loving it. Thanks guys.

Swype can now die in a fire.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dahauss:
The one thing about swype that is nice is how forgiving it is when you swipe if you arent exactly in right spot or if you swype in between two letters. ULTRA doesnt seem to be but there are settings for how sensitive etc and I am trying to see whats best. Overall.. this is the WINNER for a keyboard for EVO!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dav2276:
Got the Ultra Keyboard based on your recommendations... seems pretty awesome so far!

BUT... Is there a way to make it so that it only suggests words when it cant find a match (like how swype does it)?

Its kind of irritating having the suggestion bar pop up for every single word.

Also, how do you do double letters? In swype you would just scribble over the one letter to get two.. but that doesnt seem to work in Ultra Keyboard

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Quick2822:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Shane112358:
I have Swype and Smart Keyboard Pro. I've disabled Swype now and use Smart Keyboard Pro even in portrait mode. It's like the stock Android multitouch but it is soooo much better and fixing and predicting. It's actually faster than using the Epic keyboard in my experience.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gaz25:
Ok i'm a little confused.

I created an image for a button to use in my application. When I run the app the button looks just rubbish which i'm guessing it because my PC is at 32bpp and windows phones are 16bpp. Whats confusing me is that if I view the image on the phone as a picture it looks fine. So why does it look rubbish when its used in the application?

Oh and when i say rubbish I mean like you can see gradient bands ands stuff.

Cheers

Edit: Ok If I add a picture box to my app and set the picture to my image then it displays fine. So why do its look poor for the button?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephj:
I remember reading somewhere that the final object renderer in Windows Mobile does things its own way, so the object will look as similar as possible across various PDAs of different specs. Sometimes it gets it wrong, and there's not much you can do about it when it does. The above method, although not ideal can be an improvement in some cases.

Good Luck.

P.S. Have a look at the ContainerControl.AutoScaleDimensions property.
[Desire General] rudibravo:
Hi guys. I just got a new HTC Desire that was supposed to be unbranded. There is no brand splash screen when I turn it on, but there are some O2 configurations on the phone (like o2 mail, and o2 scene).

I found out that the software version (1.20.207.3) is actually a o2 branded version. I also find out that I got a SLCD Desire, if that matters

The problem is that I didn't get any Froyo update on System Software Updates. Do you have any ideia why? And is it positive that my phone is branded even without the splash screen?

Thanks
