Hours will be many if Display on time is low (below 4-5 hours) or similar heavy processing is kept very low. Easy to get near 2 days with that usage with even the stock ROM.

- HTC Desire via XDA App -
[Desire General] d3sm0nd:
Then I'm doing something wrong... I did calibrate the battery yesterday and it's a bit better... almost no usage and it's now 12hours uptime with 75% battery..

Are there any apps to monitor the apps that use most battery? The stock information is too restricted
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
They end up using more battery usually. Go to accounts and sync and make sure it isn't syncing crap in the background, by default Sense syncs News and weather every 15 minutes or so which drains a lot of battery. Also I'd recommend using Gmail with push rather than HTC Mail(Unless using the newer Froyo one with Exchange activesync) so that it doesn't check for new e-mails over and over again. Also don't install apps you don't need and widgets also consume battery. Make sure things aren't using Wi-Fi if you don't need them. And flashing richard's OCUV kernel for HTC Sense based ROMs will also help(Along with it use SetCPU with ondemand/conservative governor).

The 'import the sim contacts' option is greyed out. How do i set this up?

All my contacts are saved to my sim.
[HD7 General] yustheman:
i know its driving me insane? does any one know how to transfer contacts from HTC HD2 to windows phone 7????
[HD7 General] adrian-polglase:
Unfortunately it's not simple. This is how I did it...

I synced my HD2 phone with Outlook, then downloaded the Hotmail Outlook Connector which allowed me to sign into my Windows Live Hotmail account through Outlook then Outlook shows me two accounts - my old ActiveSync Local account and my Windows Live Hotmail account and it's just then a simple case of clicking and dragging from one to the other. The Windows Phone 7 will then just sync the changes automatically from your Windows Live account.

Hope this helps.
[HD7 General] EMILY2010:
do you know how to find a mac address for this phone
[HD7 General] adrian-polglase:
Sorry, don't know the answer to that one, have tried looking though. The only way I can see at the moment is to connect it to a router then look through in the router's control panel for the MAC address of devices connected to it and work from there... :o
[HD7 General] rafter_01:
Isn't there no easier way importing sim contacts over?
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
just threw a sim in my desire and moved some contacts to it, I then put into my HD7, went to Settings / Applications / People the Import sim contacts was now usable and imported the contacts.

Not sure What's happening for you guys, the button should only be grey out if

a) Contacts are in the process of being copied

b) there are no contacts on the sim.
[HD7 General] rafter_01:
could it be related to the fact that ive unlocked it to a tmobile sim? and it cant read it for some strange reason
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
Can try my Orange SIM when I get home if no one else has tried by then, but I don't see it
[HD7 General] cameronx:
you cannot use Microsoft My Phone account to synch (contacts and sms) HD2 and HD7?:confused:

Itching thumb from the market gives you the card view from the palm pre, also includes three options for transitions. Runs well but its still in beta so more features to come. Totally would post pics but noob rules... check it out!
[Epic 4G Themes] UnicronAlpha99:
Nothing personal but I don't want anything that reminds me of the Pre on the Epic lol... the Pre is the worst phone I have ever owned and I will never own another Palm phone again.
[Epic 4G Themes] idkwhothatis123:
Lol trust me, I know. I work for sprint and I never sell palm phones, they're junk. Only reason I posted this is because someone wanted the card view ported over, this its a quick fix I guess.
[Epic 4G Themes] churro7:
Lol webOS is much more polished and stable plus user friendly than any other mobile os ive used. Its a shame they havent given it a hummingbird cpu.

Are O2 unlocking them? I thought they werent due too exclusivity. Same with my Dell Streak, I had to use a Rebel SimCard
[HD7 General] adrian-polglase:
Sorry to spoil the fun but I just read on that page...

And from all the press releases bombarded at us, we know that the HTC HD7 is (in the UK) an O2 Exclusive handset :(
[HD7 General] ageorgiou1984:
It works. I filled out the form about an hour ago and just got the unlock code e-mailed to me. Tested with a Vodafone sim and it works.
[HD7 General] scently:
My imei code is 17 digit but the form only accepts 15, What do I do.
[HD7 General] ageorgiou1984:
Just use the first 15 digits.
[HD7 General] scently:
Alright, thanks.
[HD7 General] sutt359:
I just got my unlock code and all works
[HD7 General] tboy2000:
Has anyone tried this with a PAYG phone but selecting the word contract in the form instead?
[HD7 General] sutt359:
I got mine on pay as u go but just put my contract SIM in.
[HD7 General] tboy2000:
No I didn't mean that. I meant has someone bought a PAYG HD7 then went to the O2 online form and pretend you bought a contract phone in order to try and cheat to see if they would still send an unlock code? :)
[HD7 General] yosagojimbo:
i also got a pay-n-go phone, but put my simplicity contract sim in
[HD7 General] xma1e:
Whatch this space and I'll report back. I have a 30-day simplicity plan =and brought my phone on PAYG (the new name for buying outright from O2). I have put my request in against my Simplicity mobile number, I am expecting them to honour it under Simplicity so will report back.
[HD7 General] adrian-polglase:
I would like to update from my previous post to say I've officially eaten my hat.

As information for others out there, I am on a Sim Only Simplicity price plan and bought my HD7 on PAYG. I filled out the form using my simplicity account information and lo and behold, the following day I got my unlock code. And yes, I tested it and it works.

I have no intention of moving away from O2 at the moment as I signed up during the unlimited data times before they added a cap as well as treating me well, but it's nice to know the option is there later down the line in case. :D
[HD7 General] tboy2000:
I guess you chose pay monthly in the choose account option right? I have been on simplicity for around 15 months now so I guess I qualify for unlock as I pay monthly too, even though on simplicity and even though a PAYG handset?
[HD7 General] schmoo:
My understanding is that it is an european legal requirement that if you want to use it on another carrier you can (you bought it, you are allowed to use it as you see fit etc.).

However you are still bound to your contract...

I was thinking of getting this device and getting it on PAYG.

Personally I don't really think any other network can offer as good deal for PAYG anyway :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Is there any way to tether an android device to your laptop via Bluetooth DUN? Basically what I'm trying to do is to initiate a internet connection (over 3G) from my laptop, WITHOUT having to take my phone out of my pocket.

I used to be able to do this ages ago when I had a Symbian device, and it was convenient. What I have to do now, is take the phone out of my pocket, start the "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" service on my phone, and then put it back in my pocket.

Anyone have any thoughts?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
PdaNet in the market...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Thanks. I just tried it. It seems to do most of the job. However, you still have to start the service within the app on the phone (for example after a reboot). Would love to have something that runs on its own, without any user input at all once it is installed.

As well, does anyone know what the battery use is if I leave it running all the time?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msnuser111:
I used it on my G1 running donut and it didnt seem to make any change on battery life,but my battery life was horrible to begin with,so it could have some impact and I just didnt notice. My g1 lasts about 4 hours on a full charge,thats just sitting there,it dies after about 45min of talking.

I just found my new music player! Love the Mp3 tag editor and can choose music from different folders
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
It wont scan any of my music thats in my My Music folder!! Keeps telling me zero files scanned..So it does nothing for me..

Mkaes no sense since every other player does.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] riassan:
Yeah thats strange bc right now i think your running the same set up i am. MIUI 1.25 with all current fixes including front cam, correct?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
yup exactly..i dunno what to do
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
It wouldnt find mine either, just tell it to play the music from your Library instead of from folders. Works perfect after that, although I still dont know why it wont find my Music folders...

Am I blind or is there no Widget for this app? I do love this player freaking amazing!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] goodelyfe:
Blind? You said it, not me :p

In all seriousness, its there, not very elaborate (displaying cover art) but does the job and I'm sure it will be polished up more when finished, i already love it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Royvin:
Yep I'm still blind it does not pull up under my widgets list, its under my apps obviously but nothing under widgets. Is it something in the settings?

OK IM LEGALLY BLIND!! LOL I found it!! God I feel like an idiot!! Oh well that won't be the first or last time for that to happen. But yeah album art in the widget would be awesome. Very impressed can't wait to see what they do with this.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Bizdady:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
i wanted to like the player but i'm not convinced.

- doesnt download covert art for files that are missing it

- doesn't have animations or visualizations to have in place of the cover art

- in the flat eq mode, (i.e. without bass up), it has way too much bass and not enough treble?

i'm a daily heavy user of MixZing and i don't find this player to be better:(

unless there's something i'm missing that you are all aware of?:confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dannytatom:
Is there a way to have it sort by track number instead of song name when playing an album? It's seems like it should be an obvious option, but I can't find it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Goodguy818:
Have you tried Menu? theres a folders/file Sorting Setting, not sure if that'll help.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] brandor:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] riassan:
Hey bro its only a beta, maybe after some fine tuning it will be a little better for you. i mean as opposed to the stock player, this is more feature rich and as far as bass and treble that eq is better then the one we already don't got. IMO
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wingzfan:
Really wanna like this but have a few issues that hopefully get changed.

1. Cant close it. No matter what you do this runs in the background and based on how fast it found newly added music Im betting it scans folders nonstop.

2. When going to "Artist" in library mode it shows all the songs of that artist and not the albums for that artist. Yes theres an "Album" category but when you have 4000 songs loaded its a nightmare to browse that way.

3. Sorting tracks by track name and not by track number is a killer as well. Anyone whos listened to a Tool album knows this method will never work.

The players sexy as hell and visually the best Ive used but the 1st and 3rd problem I have are deal breakers.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MaxMP:
2 wingzfan

#2, 3 - these already sorted in current builds and of course it will be in the next release.

#1 - player scans files only when new sd card is mounted or forced manually from settings. Scan takes couple of seconds max. Scan is fast, because it's written with NDK (in c code).

Basically, it's not that PowerAMP scanning is so fast, but Android standard scanner is slow (though on Galaxy S it's much better).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
Im quite a happy camper when it comes to my phone and what I do with it...the only reason I said that is im hearing a lot of talk about this being the best media player...and imo Mixzing is still better.

Am I the only one that DOESN'T want my media player to download album art for me? I try to obtain high res album art for everything I have from albumartexchange, and if they don't have it, Google usually gives me at least a 500x500 image.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kitopal:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
how many songs do you have? i personally dont have the time to download album art for all my songs, so the fact that MixZing downloads it for me automatically when the song doesnt have it's own album art attached, is great! i love it:D

If you love Mixzing so much then why do you keep posting in this thread? Just curious.

PreAmp is quickly becoming my favorite player. The EQ controls and ability to search by folder are winners for me. Album art download (I usually download my own anyway) and lockscreen controls would be nice but this is a really strong beta. Very promising!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wuclan48:

Because I'm not married to mixzing so everytime someone mentions a new player I try it...when I find a better one I'll jump ship.

I post in these threads that talk about the "best" players because I want people to show me what they see in those apps that I'm obviously missing when I try them.

Mixzing isn't perfect either....but of all I've tried it does the most of what I need/want.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aburgthing:
Compared to Mixzing which WAS my primary paid for music app, this in it's beta blasts it out of the water IMHO. I just spent the evening tagging songs in Mixzing to try to get some organization and this did it on download 500 plus songs in 0.49 secs. And sound customization though a little raw and can cause clipping if too high allows for optimal customization. Great job for dev. Can't wait to see the finished product.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
Thanks. I think yours is the best post at answering my question. I guess eq is more important to people than it is to me. I almost only listen to music while in my car and I prefer a flat eq so I can control it better through my sound system instead of through software.

I also only listen to music in shuffle/random mode, so I hadn't noticed mixzing lacked in that respect.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] watzone69:
I hear ya! I'm the same way about music players. I have yet to find one that I'm 100% happy with, including this one. Navigating between screens (library, folders, player, EQ/volume, etc.) in PreAmp is a bit awkward but maybe I'm just not used to it yet. I think there's gesture support but I haven't really checked it out.

Pocket Player was awesome. I rocked that thing back when I had a Diamond!

When I try and purchase an app, I get a server error. The same error occurs on 3g and wifi. I've tried it from different locations and wifi networks, so it's not a connection issue. Non-paid apps work fine. This error only occurs when I try to download paid apps.

I'm using google apps for two of my 4 accounts. My main account is my google apps account for my business. I have 6 paid apps that I've purchased on this account, but google recently 'upgraded' google apps...could that have something to do with it??

This is such a tremendous pain in the ass. All I want to do is buy an app for 1.99!

So far I've cleared the market cache, and then I cleared the cache and all market data.
