[Galaxy S I9000 General] Psycode:
I too was on darkys 3.0 rom at the time.

I'm sure I saw a post somewhere that said T-Mobile was adding support to their Galaxy S Froyo release that would handle roaming for the two networks.

I've got an unlocked phone so I do not know if I'll ever have this support.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] laird86:
The network sharing is 2G only at the moment. You have to switch to GSM Only in order to manually select the other network.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tma200:
I find I have to force the phone to lose what little Orange single it gets around the house so it'll roam onto T-Mobile, and when it's done that I can manually select Orange T-Mobile from the list and it'll stick on that network instead of hopping back onto the terrible Orange signal if it gets a whiff.

Of course this is still a pain because when I go out, to get the best signal and make use of 3G, I have to select automatic and have to do the whole hide-in-a-cupboard-under-the-stairs thing when I get home.

Fun times.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emms:
im on orange have no problems selecting t-mobile manually as stated before it works only in 2g. data transfer can be used - edge. 3g and switch without disconnect call should be available early next year. my txt messages can take forever to deliver if im using t-mobile and reply sometimes are not deliverd till the next day.

since win 7 was published, WINCE CAB MANAGER seems to give up on updating itself to be compatable in win 7. After the installation, no matter how you run it, whether under comapatable mode of winxp sp2 or not, it never works properly.

today, i found how to make it work!

it's really simply, though.

right click the install file, then run it under the compatable mode of winxp sp2, and then, it's done!

remember you have to run the compatable when installing. then you can double click on the program to run as you do to other programs in win 7.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] joseramon.gl:
Dear friends, the last day of so many install a rom `s in my topaz with surprise that this time something went wrong or the rom was corrupted, in short, the gadget is dead, or enter bootloader mode.

So here I would make a personal reflection, is that if something works better or touch, but not my case nor that of many people who see the most elegant topaz you risk losing it in a bad way that is more than assumed and no guilty.

In line with this the great chefs propose a remedy for these miseries, ie make a tutorial on how to retrieve a dead end, the issue is possible, since it is software that makes it impossible to start the terminal in question.

The blame for this problem has only been mine, the resolution of it will be a triumph of all, thank you very much, and think that sooner or later the pitcher that goes to the source end broken off, I propose antidotes in case this ever happens someone.

Please help i have bought Extended Battery 2400mAh for my HD2 but the battery is discharging same as with normal battery, the strange thing is that when i restart phone after discharging to 0% it says 66% battery again. After that i discharge again to 0% restart and again 53 but these 53 discharge very quickly.

Is there something im doing wrong?
[HD2 Accessories] dhavaldesai.7@gmail.com:

Same Problem - suggestion ...

Hello,

I also use a HD2 now with even a 3400 maH-battery. Also I had to notice that discharge is with this battery the same as with 1230 maH-battery.

First: thank you for your tip, I now will try also to restart my HD2 before re-charging.

Second: this phenomena means at my knowledge that battery-controler has problems with recognition of used battery: so I think that HD2 thinks having still a 1230 maH-battery, even if a 3400 maH-battery is used with it.

This could be then in my eyes a software-problem (would be solvable) - or, in worst case, a hardware-problem, meaning, that battery-controler of HD2 is unable to recognize batteries stronger than 1230 maH-capacity.

If you get more knowledge about that, I would be glad if you could tell me.

Thank you very much for proceeding,

inuli
[HD2 Accessories] jirka607:
There is one tip try it :

Discharge battery till phone turn itself off than take out battery for 1minute

Put the battery back

Start the phone

discharge again till switch off

again 1 minute out

repeat till phone turn itsellf even when booting Winmo

Take battery again for 1minute out

put back batt and charge with phone turned off

when charged take battery out for 1 minute again

put battery back and start up the phone

i had this problem with my extended battery. I was curious so i opened it up and found it was two batteries stuck together.

[HD2 Accessories] ez2remember:
I bought the official 2300mah extended battery with kickstand after reading problems with 3rd party extended batteries and the poor quality of back cover. I bought the official htc from ecell on eBay for £25.95 delivered - no problems. Somtimes it's worth paying the little extra for quality and the difference in price is not that big instead of wasting £10-15 on these 3rd party batteries...
[HD2 Accessories] jirka607:
Well maybe i will buy the official sometime but this one was fr 13USD so its bad luck but i can live with that restarting charge :D
[HD2 Accessories] unixass:
it better to buy a oficial htc batery like i have one .with havy using its last about 40 h . so dont bay fake bateries.
[HD2 Accessories] jirka607:
But maybe i know how to fix it some one here at XDA talk ed about wiping battery stats maybe it will help

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827355

Here it is
[HD2 Accessories] wafflefaust:
I went into the T-Mobile store and asked the guys about the extended battery the other day and here's what the guy told me. The HTC official extended battery is basically two batteries in one package, just as jjbdoggg mentioned. When the charge runs out, if you power back up you'll have access to the 2nd battery. The thing is, they don't really instruct you on how to properly charge the extended battery.

When you first buy any cell phone battery, you want to charge it 100% before using it, some even say to charge it two to four hours over 100%. With the extended battery, you have to do this twice, first on the initial charge, then again on the second battery. Otherwise you will run into discharge issues like you've mentioned where the battery will drain faster than normal. I believe this is because the batteries have charge memory built in, but I'm not positive.

Anyway, make sure that if you do end up buying one of these batteries, HTC official or not, (I bought a $15.00USD one and it works just the same, just no kick stand... but it does have a nicer battery cover.) you need to charge both batteries like this:

1.) Charge 100% + 2-4 hours more if possible

2.) Drain battery completely to switch over to second battery

3.) Charge second battery 100% + 2-4 hours more if possible

4.) Drain battery completely

5.) Repeat steps 1-4 once more and your battery should function as expected
[HD2 Accessories] jirka607:
Thank you i will do it properly
[HD2 Accessories] schildzilla:
get the original extended battery. also the 2300mah battery from the company "leicke" is working for me. i had a cheap 2400mah chinese battery before and had the same problem.

the thing is, that these chinese batterys are faking, they are normal ones because the driver of the hd2 origininally didnt support bigger batterys in the first roms.

the chinese batterys are out of date and also the capacity is mostly a giant fake!

my battery did cost 21 euro incl shipping and is working correctly.

dont try to fix the problem with hints and tricks or calibrations, it will NOT work with the cheap batterys! i already tested it
[HD2 Accessories] jirka607:
Well thats mazbe true but i have mz from china for 13USD i have calibrated it and now it stay 2 days then i pull out and put back the battery and i have another 1,5 day
[HD2 Accessories] wafflefaust:
What I suggested is not a trick, this is just how the manufacturers recommend you charge your batteries. If you don't want to follow instruction and do your own thing fine, but it sounds like jirka has solved his problem. :)
[HD2 Accessories] xaccers:
There is no second battery, it is a single battery with 2 cells, soldered together in parallel giving the higher capacity.

If your phone's charging firmware is not compatible then you need to update your ROM.

What you are doing with the above is charging the battery to 50% and then charging it to 100%
[HD2 Accessories] wafflefaust:
Do you own one of these or something? Because it doesn't sound like you have ever used one...
[HD2 Accessories] jirka607:
Yeah wafflefaust Thank you very much i have propperly charged it and its as i told up to 2 days on first part and 1-1.5day on 2nd part so Thank You
[HD2 Accessories] xaccers:
Yes I do own one.

I've also been making my own custom lithium batteries out of individual cells for over 5 years, I know battery technology.

:rolleyes:
[HD2 Accessories] wafflefaust:
I'm not sure if you've ever used the specific batteries we're talking about however. They do ACT like two separate batteries, but are packaged as one "extended" battery. When one runs out, you can usually pull the battery for about 5-10 seconds and when you put it back in, voila 100% battery left... (that is if you know how to properly charge a battery...)

Maybe you've figured out some sort of magic trick to make these batteries drain in parallel or serial? But the way it stands, the battery that I have does not act like you're suggesting.

:rolleyes:

[HD2 Accessories] Samsunguy:
How are you a jr member when you joined in 2006 or are my eyes just playing games on me.
[HD2 Accessories] xaccers:
It's called the laws of physics old bean.

Wire cells in parallel and you double the capacity because the drain is from both cells at the same time.

I don't know about how far back your school days are, but over here we covered this in basic physics. I don't know, maybe they don't bother with it like they did 20 years ago.

Anyway, dead easy experiment to show you what I mean.

Head down to Maplins/Radioshack, grab some 9v cells, a few 12v test lamps, some wire and a few connectors for the cells.

First connect up a test lamp to a 9v cell and note how bright it is.

Then connect two 9v cells in parralel (+ to + and - to -) using the connectors, and then connect a test lamp to the battery you just made.

Note that it is of the same brightness as the lamp connected to the single cell.

If you've got a voltmeter, you'll note the potential difference across the lamp is still 9v.

Now connect two cells in series (1+ to 1-) and connect up a lamp, careful it may blow.

Assuming it hasn't blown, it should be much brighter than the other test lamps.

The potential difference across the lamp will be 18v.

Time how long it takes for the bulbs to go out.

You should find that the 9v battery you made with the two cells lasts twice as long as the single 9v cell and the 18v battery (unless the bulb burns out).

This shows that parallel doubles capacity (and also current load handling) while series doubles potential difference (voltage to most people).

That the phones needed a firmware update in order to be able to see the HTC extended battery suggests that they determine the remaining capacity when the battery is first inserted, then subtract current use, expecting it to run out near the 1230mAH mark (having to leave some capacity as discharge below the minimum voltage level can damage cells).

Reseating the battery re-initiates the voltage check, which then restarts the discharge clock from the capacity related to the voltage.
[HD2 Accessories] johnboatcat:
This is not the answer and that thread is not correct

He says that all extended batteries from China are junk. Not so! I use the Cheap China battery I bought off ebay for $14.00 US shipped and it works perfectly. The back cover fits like it was made for it. Snaps on cleanly and has never come off or stick up on the edges. The battery charges with Android and WinnMo to 100% and lasts for days. Most of your charging problems may be your rom or radio version. There are probably multiple makers in China so some may be better than others. My Cheap China works works okydoky!
[HD2 Accessories] jirka607:
And link for it?

I think i need new one because my is still rebooting :D
[HD2 Accessories] johnboatcat:
Link here

It has gone up a little bit. Just bid on it to get the cheaper price. There are several in his store. I got mine several months ago. Just buy a cheap silicone case and cut a hole for the cover to stick through on the back. Works good and looks fine. Only HD2 snobs will know any difference!

T5353 – Dual OS (WM 6.5 + Android 2.0) Smartphone

I know there are other threads relating to this, just thought we'd have our discussions on this matter in our tattoo section;)

Is this even possible on our phones, maybe if someone could give more info on the phones dual boot system it may give developers a possible start for dual booting on the tattoo cos there is a Chinese tattoo running WM.

NO DEVELOPMENT HERE THREAD MOVED TO GENRAL

I don't understand, why developers should try porting wm 6.5 to our tattoo, when there is still no functional camera for 2.2 out.

As far as i know, the chinese tattoo has another camera (2 mp) and some other hardware components. so when the devs couldnt get a camera working on a higher version of the same os.. so how could they get an other os running acceptable on the tattoo?

Hi guys, I rooted my phone (2.1 stock/unbranded) using unrevoked, then I flashed my ROM with OpenDesire using clockworkmod. After that I can't access clockworkmod so I installed ROM Manager and flashed it again (works).

After that I flashed it again with updated* HTC 2.10 ROM from xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741663, then bootloop. So I removed the battery, and now I can't access the recovery(only hboot or whatever you call it).

What should i do guys?

We have a few browsers to choose from, stock, Dolphin HD, Skyfire and the upcoming Opera Mobile and Firefox Mobile

Stock browser is not the fastest according to some tests, the champion goes to Skyfire

Dolphin HD beats stock over functionality from my own use, but is the slowest among the three

Opera Mobile is known to consume 80% less data, but user comments are not so positive

Firefox mobile is now available for G2, haven't try yet

So whats your pick?
[G2 and Desire Z General] papeshfoo:
Almost every site I would go to has an app so there is no need for my browser, so I stick with stock since its not used often...
[G2 and Desire Z General] ms93:
Let me clarify:

Opera Mini is browser, which compresses data - when I was using Galaxy i7500 it was the fastest browser (not only in downloading pages, but in rendering too).

Opera Mobile is normal browser, not compressing data. I did not test it, but comments aren't very good.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Datdude4dub:
I been using Dolphin HD. I like the side bar bookmarks, and the gestures. Plus it is faster than the default, IMO
[G2 and Desire Z General] ratchetrizzo:
I am digging dolphin HD too on the g2.

I tried dolphin when I had a slide and it was HORRIBLY slow (even overclocked to 844mhz). It's smooth like butter on my g2 clocked at 1.497 and flash works great.
[G2 and Desire Z General] JackD3ath:
I have been loving the Firefox, get all my bookmarks synced without any other crap app. The Beta2 release is a bit better than the first, but little things still dont work correctly. For me the only thing not working properly are the shift and alt keys of the physical keyboard. They work but you have to hold them down while pressing the other key. Not a biggie, and the browser runs smooth as glass for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rubene66:
i use skyfire in desktop mode for facebook and everything
[G2 and Desire Z General] Trainer#1:
Love Dolphin HD for the plugins like desktop mode and speed dial. Also I'm digging the gestures and themes. And of course the tabbed browsing with thumbnails available is fantastic! Best over all experience if you have good data speeds.

I did numerous speed tests using a stopwatch with Dolphin versus stock on very large pages. It was basically a tie with flash either enabled or disabled.

Opera Mobile is VERY fast! Great card style thumbnails for window switching (stock neeeeds this). But no flash, desktop mode, and doesn't render the whole page at once. The partial rendering adds speed but if you scroll quickly its annoying. Still has a few kinks. I recommend keeping Opera handy for super slow connections.
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
I have Firefox, Opera and Stock installed. And honestly I use the stock more often than any other browser. It seems that the other browsers are terrible at compatibility when browsing non-optimized sites. I use forms a lot and they are awful.

In Firefox each time I typed something into a form-box or selected something from a drop-down menu it had to reload the page. Frustrating to say the least. At least in Firefox they work; in Opera, the forms work half of the time. If I can't log in, what's the point?

Stock may be somewhat slower at rendering, but its compatibility saves me a lot of time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ghostcreamy:
I've been testing the default, Skyfire, and Dolphin HD for 4 weeks and I typically choose Dolphin now as my GoTo browser. Here are the three main reasons:

1. I need the ability to Toggle between Desktop and Mobile on various sites

2. I tweet about a lot of Websites and the Dolphin Tweet plugin actually grabs the Title of a page while simultaneously shrinking the URL, yet still allows me to edit.

3. I also read a lot of pages and if they don't have a mobile version, I use a plugin for Google Mobilizer to strip away formatting and make it easy to read.

Since I have a G2, I use Menu+S to pull up Share options with Dolphin Tweet. I also use Menu+M to use Google Mobilizer. Keyboard shortcuts are handy.

As for speed, they are all pretty comparable. I still use Skyfire on Flash Video sites.

Hope this helps!
