[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
how much size is added to the phone with this battery? I checked it out on youtube, but it made the phone look way to huge, bigger than i think the battery makes it...i distrust the videos because some videos with an Evo with a regular battery makes it look like its a toothpick...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanglifemike:
I love my 3000mah ebay battery, and the ebay door looks much better than the seidio door. I get great battery life out of it, around 3 times as long as the stock battey. I charge it in the phone occasionaly(and wipe battery stats), but I get better life when using an external charger. For this I use my dock with the extra battery slot on the backside. My solo external battery charger does not charge as well as my dock. I just made a thread about it on PPCG and AndroidForums.

:D :D :D

Let this be just discussion first...

So today was the Windows Phone 7 announcement and a lot of new devices were announced including the HTC 7 Mozart:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/11/htc-7-mozart-and-7-trophy-set-out-to-conquer-the-wp7-world-7-pr/

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/11/htc-7-mozart-first-hands-on/

Pretty similar hardware and look to our Desire... I know it's early now but do you think that we will be able to port Windows Phone 7 to our Desire? Just for fun... Android is good enough. :p
[7 Mozart General] rolfd:
Moved to General as not development.
[7 Mozart General] EleCtrOx666:
Would be much more difficult since that's 100% reverse engineering 'cause Windows Phone 7 OS is not open source at all. But not impossible, though don't expect any...
[7 Mozart General] mr.r9:
Devs here have made wonders, and I think I saw a dev here running WP 7 on an HD 2....
[7 Mozart General] d3sm0nd:
I think we only need some sort of a bootloader... as the hardware is pretty similar it should boot and some parts should work. :)
[7 Mozart General] bemymonkey:
I'm also more than satisfied with Android, but hey... as a geek, dual booting my smartphone does have some appeal ;)
[7 Mozart General] patp:
Seems unlikely. One of the biggest problems with pouring android to a wm phone is that some of the drivers are in the radio rom and that is closed. So a huge among of work goes into figuring out how to talk to the hardware then coding that into the linux kernel source. In the case of wp7, there will be no source code at all, just binaries. Without haret and debug information, there is no way to start other than flashing the rom and seeing whether it bricks. Maybe if haret got ported out would be a start. (maybe it already has, I didn't look at this for a while).
[7 Mozart General] rete:
:rolleyes:....speaking about Bravo clones, how about one that runs WinMo 6.5?

[7 Mozart General] JonesWTF:
These clones always make me laugh a little. Why don't they just put Android on them? Lol.

I'm 100% sticking with Android but, I'd love to be able to dual boot WP7. You know, just to say I can :D
[7 Mozart General] xtcislove:
This would be hard work!

WP7 ist not OpenSource so creating driver etc is vey heavy!
[7 Mozart General] EddyOS:
Side note, anyone know if its going to be SIM free? Orange have the exclusive as an operator but I'm quite tempted to have a look at this...first previews are saying WP7 is VERY fast
[7 Mozart General] rlatarche:
Orange will have paid through the nose to get exclusivity of this phone so don't expect to see it sim free for at least a couple of months, they normally have either 6 weeks, 3 months or 6 months exclusive rights before going sim free.
[7 Mozart General] EddyOS:
I suppose cause the ROMs are out it could just be debranded, assuming it's not too hard to break the bootloader
[7 Mozart General] ameel:
given desire and mozart have very similar specs, does that mean there's a good chance android can be ported to mozart? im guessing through some kind of bootloader? anyone working on it?
[7 Mozart General] syedmunir:
Wondows 7 on htc desire

I would also love, If My HTC Desire is capable of dual boot on Windows 7 and Android. After having such a good hardware but if it does not support on software then it such hardware is of no use.
[7 Mozart General] kuklei:
Any one found a workaround to this yet? Dual booting is lovely. For this reason, I happen to put a hand on a HD2 with WinMo 6.5 and I can boot Android on it but the phone is not mine, so now Im searching for a good HTC phone that gives me the options to play with.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timdsmith72:
You have to enable it. Menu>>Applications>>Development

Check the "Stop app via long-press" box.

EDIT: I think you also have to be running the nightlies. Not sure which build it was introduced in though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Yes, it's a Nightlies-only feature at this point.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawckee:

CM6.1 stable has it so no need for nightlies.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DroidChin:
I have a Rogers HTC Magic 2.1 ROM with, 32A, 6.35.x, 1.76.0010. So yeah, as you can see, I'm in a little bit of a hell hole.

Now, I'm following the steps on Full Update Guide - HTC Magic (32A) and it's going fine. I made a gold card and everything. However, when I get to the step where I have to use the RUU to put the 3.05.401.1 build on my phone, the same error keeps happening:

I installed HTC Sync 2.0.4 and plug in my phone. HTC Sync will detect it. Then I run the RUU, and bam. The phone disconnects. Now, I did adb my phone, and also, I used Universal Androot and I got Superuser permission so I'm guessing that the Root did work. But I want to install CM6 and this step with the RUU is screwing me over!

Can anyone please help me out?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addison892:
Last weekend I flashed Bionix 1.7. It is awesome! Best rom so far. However, I am currently looking to install the front facing camera in hopes to Skype once that opens up to Vibrant. If Bionix 1.7 does not receive OTA, then what should I do to get Froyo? I am a noob so any help at all would be great.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addison892:
I am currently set up as follows;

Baseband version T959UVJI2

kernel version 2.6.29

Build number ECLAIR.UVJI6

Firmware Version 2.1-update1
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eweo911:
Well first of all, you have to wait for froyo to be released for the Vibrant.

Secondly, you probably wont want to upgrade to the OTA froyo. If you like what you have now, you will want to wait until someone releases a ROM based off of it.

In order to get the OTA if you did want it, you'd probably have to make sure you flash back to the stock kernel and such so that you can get the OTA when it does come available.

I would wait for the froyo release of your current ROM and not get the OTA update. Never know what they are going to throw in there to hack the hackers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addison892:
I appreciate the quick response. Are you confident enough in a supporting ROM that I should make the move and install the camera?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werdz2:
Dude,

Bionix will probably have 2.2 before it is released OTA lol.. Dont sweat it ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eweo911:
Yes, if not Bionix then someone else will.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addison892:
Thanks. I will order and install the camera, and wait for the people that know what they are doing instead of T-Mobile.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragoth12:
Bionix is a machine, I don't think he ever sleeps. 1.8 is likely to be out today and if not, probably tomorrow. Even if Tmo released 2.2, I would wait for Bionix to make a ROM based on it.

That being said, if you have a custom ROM, you shouldn't be receiving OTA updates. It just doesn't work. (Although, I have heard of a few instances of people running custom ROM's and still getting the update notification, :confused: )
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addison892:

[EVO 4G General] djorijun:
Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but on all 3 of my Froyo phones I've noticed after making a phone call, when I go in to check my Gtalk I get an error saying that I'm unable to connect to the server. I also won't get emails from time to time but that one is intermittent. The only way around it, is to let it sit for an hour, or go into airplane mode count to 10 and get out of airplane mode. Anyone else seeing this?

The 3 devices I've seen this on are

CDMA Hero running Cynagen 2.2

EVO Running Stock HTC Sensed 2.2

EVO Running Cynagen 2.2

Epic Running Stock Touchwiz 2.1 - not experiencing this issue
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Thread title is misleading, I was hoping to learn of an update for gtalk..

[EVO 4G General] djorijun:
Apologies on the misleading Thread title, it doesn't look like I can change it now.
[EVO 4G General] chino0131:
My wife and I both have EVO's and have noticed that after making a call, or after moving out of a wifi and/or 4Garea and going back to 3G, Talk will not sign in for a long period of time. It always says cannot connect to server. Her EVO is Stock 2.2, mine has full root. It's quite frustrating and makes no sense to me...but then again I'm not as tech savvy as most on here.

I dont beleive it has anything to do with signal as I have had this happen when I have had full service and have run a speed test to ensure that I have a decent signal. I've gone into settings-apps-manage apps and have forced stop the app, as well as cleared data. Ive signed in and signed out, tried setting up both phones all over again, tried setting up different google accounts...everything I could think of. Nothing. It's not a HUGE deal, but frustrating since we communicate throughout the day via Talk.

EDIT - I'll try to see if I can replicate this on my Epic when I get home. However, my belief is that it has something to do with 2.2 since I never experienced this until the update, and the Epic is still on 2.1
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigcharlie:
Hi,

I'm confused about the right way to run the Desire with apps on the SD card. I'm running AuraxTSense with a FAT 32 formatted SD card.

I was able to ADB and run pm setInstallLocation 2, and I have the option tomove apps to the SD card, In addition, Titanium Backup and Apps2Sd reports that most of my apps are successfully located on SD card. Also, on the SD card, I see an "ASEC" directory that seems to contain most of my apps; I thought that this was an indication that the apps were located there.

However, it doesn't seem like moving apps to the SD card has worked properly. Whenever I install an app, it looks like it goes on the SD card, but I lose the size of the app from my internal memory. Also, when I uninstall, the corresponding amount of space frees up in my internal memory. I've verified this with the DiskUsage app.

Has anyone else noticed anything like this? Should I have created an Ext2 partition for apps to successfully install just to the SD card?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3Roar:
Hey there,

It seems as if you are just using Froyo's built-in apps on SD card function.

This just takes some of the files from the app and places them in .android_secure on the SD card, but large parts of the application may still remain in internal memory.

You can see just how much is left in your internal memory by scrolling to an app in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications. The "total" space taken in this screen is the space taken on your internal memory.

I'm afraid this is the best Froyo can do. If you have moved all apps to SD card you can and you're still running out of space, you may need to install a custom ROM with Apps2SD.

Hope this helps
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigcharlie:
aha.

Thanks, that cleared things up for me. I was puzzled when I did this

- checked cardiotrainer in 'Manage Applications', saw 2.5 mb total

- moved it to the phone, checked 'Manage Applications', saw 7.3 mb total

- moved it to SD card, saw 2.5 mb again

I didn't realize that the "total" was just the total in internal memory, and that only a portion of the app was getting moved.

thanks very much for the clarification.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
The "whole" of the app itself gets moved to SD card.

What does not get moved is:

1. The Dalvik cache entries

2. Any data stored in /data/data

Note that no version of "legacy" A2SD (i.e. those using an EXT partition on SD card) moves /data/data to SD card due to stability concerns.

Personally, I use Froyo A2SD, but compress the Dalvik cache using fusecompress.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigcharlie:
That's more great info, thank you.

After doing some research, I noticed that the AuraxTSense ROM supported Apps2Sd and Dalvik2Sd, both of which require an ext2 partition.

I decided to take the plunge and format my SD card to add an ext2 partition.

I used the following steps

- backed up everything to sdcard with titanium backup

- backed up all sdcard data to my pc

- used ROM manager to partition the card (512mb ext, 64 mb swap)

I've since rebooted and now my storage is reported at 122 mb, instead of 18 :) :) :)

Simply put, this rocks. I've just copied all my data back to the SD card (including the ASEC folder, the apps I'd 'moved' to the card before relied on these files) and my apps seem to be working fine.

Now that I have all this space, I can actually move the more intensive apps back to the phone now, since this should increase performance.

thanks to all who answered, I hope this thread helps some people who were as frustrated as I was by the lack of space on this awesome phone!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scorror:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigcharlie:
Just another update to say that my phone is working great.

It's like a completely different phone. I thought that 2 or 3 FCs a day were normal. I haven't had one since I moved to this method.

I'd like to highlight that I unset pm setInstallLocation.

To be honest, I think that that caused many of my problems. I had several apps whose widgets kept disappearing after lock/reboot. after unsetting setInstallLOcation and reinstalling the offending apps, the widgets are no longer disappearing.

The phone seems faster as well. I read a comment some where that AuraxTSense might seem a bit slower if you didn't have an ext2 partition, and I have to say that in my experience this is definitely the case.

or

http://cgi.ebay.com/T-MOBILE-HTC-HD2...ht_1845wt_1014

Do I need to solder something or is just an easy fix?

Please let me know.

Thanks
[HD2 General] Madcypher:
Mine too

The links to the Ebay sale you posted are no longer valid.

My screen is broken also, just the touch sensitive glass (digitizer). The LCD is still in tact.

From what I understand the digitizer is harder to replace than the entire screen (digitizer+LCD) because the LCD is glued to the digitizer. There's a video on YouTube someone posted demoing the process.

http://www.globaldirectparts.com/HTC-T-Mobile-HD2-Digitizer-p/htc733745.htm

Has the digitizer for only $57 USD, but you have to order 3 at at time. If we can find someone else that's interested, then maybe we can go in and get one if that's all that you need also.

Cyph
[HD2 General] daganb:
I have done the digitizer repair, not exactly what I would call a fun time.

Easy to mess up your phone, need to make your own glue or double sided tape (to hold digitizer/lcd/frame together), about 4 little tiny wires that need to be placed correctly when putting the phone back together.

Thankfully the US HD2 does not require soldering the digitizer's connector to the lcd (the european one does), however again this is not a repair job for the feinthearted.

After all was said and done and the digitizer was repaired, the new one had the rainbow/oil effect when under a fluorescent light source, don't know if it is due to me using the wrong digitizer or what, but it did not look good. I had the same issue with a altell touch pro 1 that I purchased on ebay, it annoyed me then and it's back with a vengance.

Have fun, be very meticulous and watch the HD2 dissembler videos about 5 times before you unscrew one screw.
