There was a post in the Android Build section about a fix for the camera freezing after a few shots were taken in CM6.1 builds. People have got it installed (it is a camera .APK) but I can not seem to get it too work. Here is the post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826578

I imagine I am just doing something stupid but I need to get someone to tell me how I should be doing it please. The camera freeze is the last real headache I have with Android on the HD2, please help lol
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shendan:

it cause for cm6.1,please wait for dev to fix it ,only wait
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] atoore:
You don't need to change your camera. To fix the camera freeze issue is to wait until the green auto fucos turns green when you taking a picture. I've being doing that a lot lately without any issues.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] k3nmill3r:
Shendan - The APK I linked to in the OP has worked for several people resolving the freeze issue (or at least reducing it in a big way)

Atoore - It sometimes freezes even before the focus turns green, I try to wait for it to go green anyway but will try to ensure I do it every time.

Has anyone tried this out and can give me some pointers?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ajm2387:
what kernel are you using?

try hastrin8.2 if you're using mdjays R/S series

it fixed it for me with shubcraft 2.0
[G2 and Desire Z General] jdedeaux:
I just purchased a HTC Desire Z - Tmobile HD2 version of this phone. It came w/ out a battery. I bought a 50 dollar battery from tmobile but i found one else where that was WAY cheaper. The one i found cheaper is a 1750mah 3.7v , the one from tmobile that is OEM for the phone is a 3.7v 1300mah battery. The 1750 is thicker but fits fine.

My question is, does running a 3rd party battery (although this one is from a good brand at best buy mobile, but not oem) will it damage my phone. This phone is too nice to risk, so i thought i'd ask first.

If not im gonna return the tmobile battery.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Exanimus:
Wtf? it came without battery? Have u checked with Htc or the place where u bought it if they maybe made a mistake? all phones comes with battery and i have never heard anyone that got a new phone without battery :S
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddotpatel:
Hmmm, suspect much?

I also find it hard to believe it should come without a battery. Is there a "whats included in the box" list on the side of the box?
[G2 and Desire Z General] jdedeaux:
okay, forgot to add, i bought this phone from someone who sold it because they lost the battery before even using it.

now that should clear things up....
[G2 and Desire Z General] snudel:
sounds illegal. strange story
[G2 and Desire Z General] jdedeaux:
okay, i have a friend, had a g2 - it went kaput within the first 2 days, tmobile sent him a new one, which comes without the battery. He was a tard and sent the whole phone battery and back back with the phone. so when he got the new g2 it had no back or battery, so he sold it to me and got a iphone 4.

but thanks for the useless nonsense of random posts all, i found a thread on battery that does not answer my questions but if i ask there im sure ill get a better response from them.

i guess knowing the backstory of how my phone didn't come with my phone is required to answer a technical questions, LOL.

i love you all

thanks anyways.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Porcelina:
I'm pretty sure you can get both a new original battery and a new back for your phone through HTC... maybe on www.htcaccessorystore.com, through a HTC partner or on ebay :p :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddotpatel:
Sorry pal, i was just making sure you hadn't been scammed by a store as I was under the impression that it was bought brand new.

I've only used a generic/cheap battery in one of my old Nokias as a spare, it was the same spec as the original, and with a full charge lasted just as long as the original Nokia one. However the full charging capacity did start to deteriorate after 12 months or so, after 18 months I binned it. Can't complain for £7.50.

Let us know how you get on, I think a lot of people would be interested to know how much time you get out of it.

EDIt..... Check out the thread on batteries in the G2 section.
[EVO 4G General] rojas21209:
So does anyone now how to update a flashed evo with firmware 2.1? Because if I update it my self it could mess up the flash.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] greatbrit:
Hi,

I suddenly developed an issue a few weeks ago where the data connection will, apparently randomly, turn itself on. I haven't ever been lucky enough to catch it right when the data comes on, and when I check task manager I don't see any applications running to cause it. I am thinking I either inherited a virus at some point, or an application that is attempting to update itself or something. But I haven't installed anything for months so it could be any old program. I checked scheduled tasks but don't see anything there.

I have done 'the usual' of making sure weather, stocks, email are not causing it.

What I am wondering is if there is an application out there that will log my activity so I can see what services or applications ran that day.

Many thanks in advance for any help or ideas.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 3waygeek:
Check to see if AGPS is on -- I've noticed with some GPS apps (CoPilot Live, Google Maps) that if AGPS is on, turning on the GPS will initiate a data connection. If that's the issue, turning AGPS off should take care of it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] greatbrit:
Thanks for the AGPS suggestion. I do use QuickGPS, but have it set to prompt, not to auto download (but it does start a data connection when I do use it, and it doesn't turn it off when it's done). So, I don't think that's the problem in my case, but I appreciate the reply.
[Focus General] Ratcamp:
I read the area in the manual directing me towards the people section. Can't figure it out. Can someone please help me? Thanks.
[Focus General] besweeet:
From my experience, you have to export everything and then import them all at windowsphone.live.com. For example, if you want all of your contacts, export them all into a .csv file, and them import it from live.com.
[Focus General] sun-snow:
I don't know if this is the same problem that you had, but when I connected my phone to sync, all of the contacts from my outlook went over to my phone but none of my phone contacts (from my old sim) wen over to my outlook. The solution to this is the microsoft outlook connector. All of the transferred contacts on the phone are registered as windows live contacts and so unless you have linked your windows live account to yout outlook then the contacts will not travel from your phone to Outlook. All you have to do is to open up outlook, and at the top click on outlook connector and then add account. This will bring up a new window in which you fill in your information and it will then link your account and create a new contact list for your phone (windows live) contacts. A little convaluted I know, but it worked for me.
[Focus General] Ratcamp:
Thank you so much.
[Focus General] Ratcamp:
Microsoft Outlook Connector

Is this like Active Sync? And is this the only way to transport contacts from my computer to my phone?
[Focus General] da_ferreira:
CompanionLink

There is a product called CompanionLink which allows you to sync calendar and contacts between Outlook and WP7 (can't submit the URL, but it is the product name .com) - it works with Outlook 2000-2010 (even the x64 version of 2010).

Basically, what it does is run as a separate app. You have to have a Gmail account to use this because the app will take data from your existing non-Gmail account, sync it with Gmail and then your phone syncs with that Gmail account. It is bidirectional so that changes you make on the phone will end up back in Outlook.

It is a bit pricey - $40 for the basic app and OMGWTF for the Professional version which allows you to sync with multiple calendars. Still, at the moment it seems to be a reasonably elegant solution to a major hole in functionality.
[Focus General] Ratcamp:
Wow. What happened to the good old days with Active Sync? I am surprised there is hardly any information to be found regarding synchronization with Outlook.

The other issue is paying $40 and opening a gmail account.

Tahnks for your help. Anyone else have any suggestions? Any business users?
[Focus General] Ratcamp:
How about Samsung Kies?

Has anyone used this for the Focus?
[EVO 4G General] coopapi:
I get 4G in Chicago and usually pull high 4s. When I tether to my laptop and test from the laptop, I only get 1 - 1.3 Megs. Can anyone explain this? Thanks in advance?
[EVO 4G General] Khul:
software bottleneck? maybe app has a transfer data broadband limit... when in tether... phone stays connected to 4% o switches to 3G?

Live long and prosper- tapatalk
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
There are other threads about this, can't tether 4g, it uses mac address to authenticate, it will bump you to 3g when you tether.might say 4g in rare cases but its 3g
[EVO 4G General] JTNiggle:
It will depend on how you're tethering. Are you using the built in usb tethering or hotspot? If you are, are you paying for it or using calkulin's fix?

With the native tethering and Calkulin's fix, you won't be able to authenticate for 4g yet, so it will drop back to 3g. When it does, your 4g signal bars will disappear and the 3g icon will reappear. Your 4g radio will go into a bit of a fit and continue scanning and attempting to connect until you turn it off.

If you are using a third party app like Easy Tether, Wireless Tether, PDA Net, Tether, or Barnacle Tether, and your 4g status icon stays up, you are still on 4g, just without a good signal or there is excessive traffic as mentioned earlier.

You can check your actual signal strength buy opening the phone, dialing ##debug# and picking Wimax Engineering from the menu. It will show Rx Pwr, that is your actual signal in db
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
wait so its impossible to tether at 4g speeds?
[EVO 4G General] JTNiggle:
You can, I do it every day. Use a market app and you're good to go. I get about 3.5 mbs average were I work. But ony 1.5 mbs at home cause my signal is poop.
[EVO 4G General] postwick:
not if you're doing it in a way Sprint considers valid. I pay for the tethering plan and use the phone's built-in features, and tether at 4g all the time.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
wireless teether app? The app doesn't seem to work well on 4g. Tried on fresh evo, evio, and some others. The speed just drops to 10-20kb/sec. But with speedtest app on the phone, 4g reaches like 9mb/sec
[EVO 4G General] JTNiggle:
I've never had that problem. I usually use Easy Tether though, no problems with speed at all. In fact, in back to back speed test ran on my phone first, then on my tethered laptop, the laptop always tests a littler faster.

Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
I need to use wifi tether then, always used usb and couldnt get 4g to work correctly
[EVO 4G General] wmblalock:
This has been an ongoing issue for 'most' people. Some ppl somehow manage to tether at full 4g speed somehow, but myself and most others have tried many different fixes and apps and still only get 1.5-2.5mbit tethering off the 4G (not kickback to 3G) even though we get much faster on the phone. Example, I can get 16mbit on my 4g running speed test.net on my phone, then switch to wifi tether and immediately run speed tests and get no better than 2mbit. I originally thought it was a problem with the WIFI Tether app, but other apps do it too.. I think it may be something with the phones hardware, who knows. ****ty though, I am glad Im not paying for a tether package from Sprint or I would be REALLY pissed.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
16mbit??? pic!

[Vibrant General] kingtrini82:
don't know if this was a topic already but i'm tryiing to unlock the vibrant and relock it on AT&T will everything still function the same or is just a bad idea.
[Vibrant General] brodie7838:
Well, you can't 're-lock' it to another carrier that I'm aware of (nor is there really any reason to). Once you've unlocked the phone, just throw another SIM card in and you should get regular service.

As far as everything else working, the only thing that comes to mind is the frequency differences between T-Mo and AT&T; the Vibrant lacks AT&T's WCDMA 850 & 1900 frequencies, so you may not get 3G on their network with that phone.
[Vibrant General] smeadow:
I have my vibrant unlocked on at&t and everything works fine, including 3g.
[Vibrant General] kingtrini82:
thanks guys.
[Captivate General] oka1:
I am having problems with the phone (I cannot access apps store or the ext sd card) and only have Odin to work with. So, I want to flash a fresh original factory rom and then reflash the new rom. When do this, i am assuming the factory reflash erases EVERYTHING including voodoo lag fix and reinstalls the original factory rom. So, essentially it is reformatting the internal sd and then reinstalling a new copy. This is a correct assumption ?
[Touch HD General] snerd09:
so i got this fantastic HTC Touch HD (unlocked) to replace my beat up sidekick. anyway i want to know if there's any way to use this phone on t-mobile's 3G network? what a shame it'd be if i cant.
[Touch HD General] handsomedog:
If you have a T8282 (BLAC100) then it's not possible, the hardware isn't there to support US 3G bands. The T8285 (BLAC120) should work fine though.
[Touch HD General] stepw:
Not on T-Mobile though, 8285 is for 850/1900 3G bands (AT&T) and you need 1700 for T-Mobile
[About XDA developers] chelsea19:
Anyone in favor of creating two different marketplace mini forums? one for CDMA and one for GSM? Any super cool, nice moderator wanna take the long painstaking time to split the forum into these two categories? It may serve to erase a lot of confusion for people who just arent grasping the difference.
[About XDA developers] Diamond_dawg:
maybe talk to the mods for that, making a thread would probably just be locked down

just my 2 cents
[About XDA developers] Alex530:
Seems like a great idea. But keep in mind that only the U.S. uses cdma so there's a downside. But ask this to be moved to the aboutxda developers section as most mods usually check that forum pretty often.
[About XDA developers] chelsea19:
Will do. Thanks.
[About XDA developers] dcarr622:
Not a bad idea, but if someone seriously doesn't know the difference that it sad.

IMO something more useful globally would be a forum based on 3G bands i.e.
[About XDA developers] Diamond_dawg:
Well mostly the issue with people is that they don't know is it a CDMA or gsm devices. That's why we need a separate sub forum for that. And a specific mod too
[About XDA developers] ummkiper:
Wow someone beat me to it,I hate looking in here and seeing 1out of 20 or so threads are cdma.I'm looking for sprint phones and have to actually search so I don't go through so many threads just to see cdma phones.I'm really excited to see a split marketplace,so I hope this can be done.
[About XDA developers] N8ter:
Europe/US woulf be more useful than cdma/gsm. Person can pit that in the title.
[About XDA developers] ummkiper:
i can see that to a sense but how many cdma phones are in Europe? even if it did go that way there are still more usa gsm phones listed then cdma phones,i would still have to go through a bunch of threads just to find a sprint or verizon phone.there are other cdma companys also,boost,cricket others like those and those 2 companys are finally getting decent phones.
[About XDA developers] Alex530:
Not at all.
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
Moved from Marketplace Forum.

[About XDA developers] ummkiper:
Ok let's get more peoples voices.
[About XDA developers] ummkiper:
Well it got moved now no one sees it -.-
[About XDA developers] ummkiper:
Well the way I see it now us cdma users don't need to use marketplace.
[About XDA developers] Product F(RED):
Actually Canada, Mexico, and parts of Asia use CDMA as well. GSM is definitely more prominent outside the US though. I'm a GSM kind of guy. I recently switched to Sprint for the pricing (coming from AT&T). I have a million and one GSM phones lying around though lol. I miss being able to swap phones on the fly.
[About XDA developers] ummkiper:
Yeah with sprint you can change phones online easily and you can use that service to check esn's

[Captivate Themes and Apps] avgjoegeek:
This any different than the capital lock screen??
[Captivate Themes and Apps] BigBamBam:
here the original fascinate screen lock...i just wanna one like this for COG 2.3b3 compatible
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
That's just the normal TouchWiz lockscreen...

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Themes and Apps] drewfinkel:
It is a bit different

the stock on is swipe to unlock, the fascinate has a puzzle piece always. to unlock, drag the unlock puzzle piece to the spot, prob also has a txt one, and a missed call one. so, no swipe- always a puzzle piece

I would love this!!!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ntdb:
I know sonique in the vibrant forums has a theme which includes this and it works on cognition 2.4 and 2.4.1.

That said, I'd live to see a captivate version of this. I think it's much less annoying than glass.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] BigBamBam:
I try it but doesn't work, my captivate keep reboot.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] benG1:
Yeah, the TS is not asking you if you like it. He's asking if it can be done because he want's the Fascinates lock screen.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mikejames07:
I'm currently on a deoxed ROM ;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dxtra:
Beng1******I know exactly what his asking, my suggestions was why if the stock lock screen in my opinion better. But who cares what I think? Right

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbexpress:
I installed Axura 2.0 and it's awesome. I can't say that this issue is related, but I got a FC error from Launcher Pro, and from that point on (as shown in See PU), the CPU meter is frequently going into the red area and either staying there or completely locking the phone so nothing functions, necessitating a reboot. Oddly enough, if it is not completely frozen and I open Set CPU, that will often get the meter to go back into the green. I've already reflashed the ROM, it's "better" but still does it a bit. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this? I'm thinking something with launcher Pro, maybe? TIA...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
Did you try reflashing and not installing any extra apps for a bit?

Also, next time the cpu goes under heavy load, check the samsung task manager to see what is sending so many processes to the cpu.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbexpress:
Hey, thanks for the response. I did reflash once, I did not take anything off that was already on, as I never had the issue before. I think then what I will do (if necessary) as a test is to re-flash (or, maybe 2.0.1 will be out sooner than later) and then just put the basics on and use My Backup Pro or Titanium to add things back slowly. On the second suggestion, I had never used it, as it appears to be new to FroYo or maybe Axura added it, but I never saw it before. Assuming the "Usage Time" screen is where I should be looking, it says (for Launcher Pro):

-Application Count 77

-3400895 ms

I'm not sure what all that means, but those numbers are so far above what anything else is using, and with the fact that a Launcher Pro FC started all this mess, I have to believe that this is the issue,or at least a part of it. I think I'll pitch it first and see what happens. Thanks...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
If you hold down the home button, then select "task manager" and you should be able to see what is using the cpu so much. Also, try using a different launcher to see if the problem goes away
