[Desire HD General] Endr1:
After two days of use I must say that the Sync/update feature is very bad and I think it is one of the main reason for the battery to die quickly.

My phone is always try to sync something, and it is very laggy when in this state. The worst is facebook for HTC that takes 30 min every time to sync only the contacts. And this happen everytime.

Then even gmail sync is painful with my calendar always getting stuck. On my Nexus one those thing were ultra fast, I could not remeber seeing the update circle in the notification area for more than 3 second. Now my phone is constantly in this mode and uses a lot of resources for doing so.

And Yes, I turned all the update time to the maxium possible, like once per day, but it still doing its fu****ng things.

I HATE IT. I disable Facebook sync for contacts, any back fire for doing so?

Anyway I REALLY WANT TO USE THE STOCK ANDROID OVER NASTY SENSE... Is it possible, can I have vannilla back?

Hi all,

I'm using Energy ROM with Cookie Home Tab, currently this one: Energy.BLACKSTONE.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.Classic.DinikGlass.Oct.08. I have tried several versions, but lock screen behavior is still the same...

When I put my device into standby mode, it goes locked automatically, that's what I want. But when I turn it on I want the unlock button to respond promptly, without any delay. It is working correctly after flashing my device, but after first restart I'm not able to use unlock button immediately and I need to wait a little bit (1 or 2 seconds) and then slide the button to unlock the device.

Has anybody discovered the same behavior? How to fix this and use unlock button immediately after the display goes on?

Thanks,

Vladino

Edit: I'm sorry, I just woke up and missed the thread where it is solved: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=587931

Dear HD2 Lover.

I found 67mA on standby in hyperdroid1.7 , FroyoHD2 V3 , shubCRAFT V2.

- no any app installed.

- no pair with any device.

- if paired, it's still ~67mA.

- if disable bluetooth, it lower to 11mA.

Do you face this problem too? Only me have this problem?

Update : bluetooth able to consume only

Booting into android with the keypad lights on is something that has helped many people (including myself). It took my standby mA from 69 to 5 (with bluetooth on but not connected to anything)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hauk00:
bluetooth is known to cause high battery drain on any device, same with wifi, keep them both off when you are not using it and you should see a much more reasonable drain, and 11 isnt horrible, android has poor battery management so you cant expect the same results as winmo.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zoftdev:
I test enable on boot without success.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Goaprinz:
just reboot your system a few times (3-5+). Worked for me but i dont know why. Now just 3-6 mA in standby. Rebooting is the solution ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnjtaylor:
I have bluetooth permanently on and usually get 6-10mA in standby.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zoftdev:
Ok .from your comment, bluetooth should not leak the current if work properly, the 67ma is problem which sometime solve by rebooting.

Run a google search for "wireless tether android", click the first link, then click "downloads". I use the pre11 apk with no problem. Assuming your temp rooted. Install with android installer or perfered installer.

Google and Samsung are at the center of this rumor coming straight out of left field that claims they will be announcing the Nexus Two running Android 2.3 at a press conference on November 8th. If this rumor holds water, then this is truly something that nobody expected. The original Nexus One may have been dubbed the true “Google Phone,” but the fact of the matter is that HTC was the phones manufacturer. The device didn’t sell as expected, as it was only available online. It never reached the retail channels that Google claimed it would eventually. The phone was even slated to hit Sprint and Verizon but was shelved when similar (and more impressive) Android handsets hit the market. If this will be the first Android phone to run on 2.3, then this should be a phone worth some serious attention. This very well could be the software branded Gingerbread, even though other rumors had it as version 2.5 or even 3.0. The rumor also says that the phone will be coming to multiple networks. So to summarize, the Nexus Two is supposedly going to be produced by Samsung. Any of you Galaxy S users out there pissed? I mean, you guys are still on 2.1 at the moment, although 2.2 is surely around the corner. Then again, this is a rumor so it could turn out to be just a crock. But hey, November 8th is only a week and a half away. Tell us what you think down below, and let the rumor mill start churning.

Oh not Samsung. I've had Galaxy S im my hands it is a very good phone (mostly because of the hummingbird processor :) ) but its all plastic and looks "iphonish", HTC on the other hand have better quality build but cheaper performance. I do hope that Google will dictate what Nexus 2 should look like and that it will not be all plastic!

The best and the only screen SAMOLED is made by Samsung and nor HTC or Motorola have access to it. The biggest problem with Nexus 1 is the crappy thouchscreen, so it would make ALOT of sense to go with Samsung and use its SAMOLED2 (2gen samoled has higher resolution) technology.
[General Topics] drive2droad:
A Samsung manufactured NEXUS TWO with an extraordinary processor & a superb AMOLED screen is just way too awesome , If the same is sold in stores instead of the web & that too worldwide instead of just one launch country it could be the most successful android handset ever .

I have a Vibrant, and I'm not pissed because if this is true I'll be selling it and pre-ordering this phone.

I do however, wonder who owns the rights to call the phone a Nexus. I had figured it was named/owned by HTC, but if this is true I guess not.

Hi there

just a quick question really to see if anyone on here can help. I have a STD O2 data only SIM does it make any difference to speed and/or connectivity if we use different username and passwords?

I'm told to use mobile web and password but web/web seems to give me far better connection.

Is this just me!?

Any help is appreciated

[Networking] ChiccoFR:
Theoretically it shouldn't but...

An APN is the software "front-end" of an hardware physical equipment called a GGSN. The GGSN is the Gateway (that's what the first "G" stands for) between you (your carrier network) and the other networks (Internet to be simple). One GGSN contains a few APN but an APN is located on one and only one GGSN...

The GGSN acts like a kind of firewall (filter users or special traffics or the access to some websites) and sometimes shapes your web page to adapt it to your screen.

So for all these reasons, when you change your APN your web experience can drastically change (speed and aspect of internet pages eg.) On the other hand I'm not aware of different behaviour of the same APN with different credentials (username/password) but it's totally possible. To be really confirmed with different speedtest.net...
[Networking] xaccers:
I use bypass instead of mobileweb and images are clearer in Opera, nearly Wifi clear.
[Networking] ChiccoFR:
So that answers the question : the same APN reacts differently with different accounts (and compress differently the pictures)...

Good to know...

Here in France, operators are not working it the same way as far as I know (I don't even put password in my APN config...)

- - - Seeking the equivalent of Sashimi and SKTracker - - -

Hi,

I installed Froyo Sense 2.2 on my HD2 for the first time yesterday and expect I will be playing around with different builds for a long time until I find 'perfection'.

As a serial WinMo ROM addict, I used to use Sahsimi to back up and re-apply all of my application installs, customisations, skinning, license key input, WiFi and webmail settings etc.. etc.. . So literally after installing a ROM, I can have all of my apps and customisations re-applied within minutes...

But is there an equivalent for Android out there ?

- Is my google tie in aware of my installed applications and will it auto-install them again ?

- Where does Android store installs ?

- Can purchased installs be re-applied without any DRM restrictions ?

- Is there an equivalent of Sashimi (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=538513). I know on WinMo there are quite a few apps that let you re-installs Cabs, registry edits and XML's

- Are there any application watcher tools that will allow me to find out where applications specific customisations are installed ? The equivalent I'm using on WinMo are SKTracker and MobileMon

Any advice would be appreciated.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Reno_79:
- Is my google tie in aware of my installed applications and will it auto-install them again ?

-- Generally yes, every new build I've used recently (last 3 or 4 weeks or so, never checked before) will automatically try and redownload from the market whatever you had before.

- Where does Android store installs ?

-- Not 100% sure I understand but all Android data (sms, apps/games/saves etc) are stored in your /Android/data.img on the SD card.

- Can purchased installs be re-applied without any DRM restrictions ?

-- Theoretically yes, cannot guarantee 100% but it's tied to your google account so in theory it's a yes.

- Is there an equivalent of Sashimi (http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=260). I know on WinMo there are quite a few apps that let you re-installs Cabs, registry edits and XML's

-- Your best bet for that will be Titanium backup. Looks complex once you first open it, but read the wiki (google will help you there) and you'll realise it's actually very simple.

- Are there any application watcher tools that will allow me to find out where applications specific customisations are installed ? The equivalent I'm using on WinMo are SKTracker and MobileMon

-- Not entirely sure on that one afraid, it's not something I've really looked into.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dark Knight:
Thanks for the details. I'll look up Titanium Backup.

One thing I have noticed, upon installing a Marketplace App if I clicking onSettings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> [select the application]

... then there is the option of 'Move to SD Card'.

To me this suggests that all Marketplace installs default to the phone's internal memory.... correct me if I'm wrong.

But I'm not sure if this is the installer for the app or the application itself.

Ideally, I would like to have the installer on my SD card and application installed to the destination of my choice.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
One thing I've noticed is that the Market downloads installers to \sdcard\download. They're not named with the original filename, but there's a manifest xml file inside where you can see what file it was.

This way, you can keep backups of all your installers from the Market.

Just copy the ones you want into the AndroidApps folder of the new build and it will automatically install them for you.

This should help make the process a little smoother :)

Hi, I've been using the Darkstone Froyo 2.2 build for a full glorious month now. :D

But sadly, 3 hours ago, my HD2 crashed while playing a GBA emulator.

Usually the GBA emulator crashes once in a while but this time, I don't know what happen :(

After 5-6 boot ups, It'll only go into the base rom (ChuckyROM) and I took out the SD card for a check up on the PC.

And funny thing is, it works fine :(

But it won't read on the phone at all :(

so guys, help me in this. Do I need some sort of new ROM or did I just screwed the HD2's card reader for good? :( :(

And if this was previously talked about, I'm sorry for posting another thread though, I didn't found any threads that suit my matter. :(

I have had the phone for 3 days now and really can't praise it enough. The sound quality through the earphones with Dolby on it awesome. Gonna buy some good earphones to improve slightly but not rushing.

The only thing I could complain about is the external speaking. It is a bit weak but when you get awesome sound through the earphones I don't think I am ever going to use the external speaker to listen to anything. Except alert sounds and the phone ringing of course.

Settings, manage apps, look under "sd" and move them all to the phone (which moves them to the EXT). Of course they don't work when they are on the FAT partition of you SD and you unmount it for your PC...
[Desire General] sualfred:
Danke dir :), hab gemeint die wären automatisch auf der EXT ^^

Thx! I thought they were automaticly stored on the ext partition ^^

After moving the widgets from sd to phone, the aren't in the widget list anymore! O_o

only had to reboot =)
[Desire General] Aitese:
Widgets and anything you need to start when the phone gets turned on (for example the Chrome2phone plugin) should be installed on the phone, not SD. I once made the mistake of installing Swype to the Sd card and lost my keyboard when I plugged the phone in. If it needs to run at all times, stick it on the phones internal storage.
[Desire General] sualfred:
This makes sense.

But I never told my desire to store the files on sdcard. I assumed that everything will be stored on the ext partition with a2sd+.

Anyways, tt looks good on my phone and was wondering if anyone else would like to try it out and give me their thoughts. I got the images from an HD video I found on youtube. I downloaded it in HD format, and exporting about 400 frames before deciding on a set of 30.

I'm interested to see how many of you will try this out. If the general response is good enough, I'll try to make more. When you go to select the wallpaper, go into the settings for it and change the size of the animation to "Big (Default)". I can't figure out how to get it to actually be set to that, but if someone could point me in the right direction, I'd be really happy.
