[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubin110:
Actually, if you took a look at that link to another thread I posted it works fine under the Samsung Vibrant, so as it turns out they do. I'm trying to figure out if there's something special with how the Vibrant acts as a USB modem over the G2.

Wireless tether eats up battery. One could argue that I could simply plug my phone into my laptop to charge up the device. At times there isn't enough power being offered over USB to charge up the phone fast enough, additionally this drains the laptop battery down, on top of also running wifi on the laptop. This sucks when you're on a rather long train ride. twice a day.

Additionally the G2 shares some resource between the wifi and Bluetooth radio. Running tether over wireless and also attempting to listen to music through my Bluetooth headphones degrades the wireless link by more then half and the music cuts out every 10 - 20 seconds.

Beyond that I've found the need to restart the wireless tether session multiple times within an hour span. Kind of sucks.

All in all wireless tether is a great option to get a machine (or a group of machines) onto the net quick, but isn't that smart of a solution when you're commuting for an hour or two each day.

I would like to find out how long would this pack last with eneloop battery's.

anyone have any idea?

also if it would be possible to build or find a external battery that can take 8AA battery's.
[Epic 4G Accessories] friedricebob:
Eneloop AAs are rated 2,000 mAh?

my rough guesstimate, you'll get about 4x your normal stock battery life from the pack, after you factor in losses from heat and from converting the pack's juice into your cell battery.

maybe a little more?

RAVPower rp-pb03 external battery

I own one before, it is really charge my HTC EVO 4G with bad result. I only use the device once before it basically melted. For reference, I used Sanyo Eneloop batteries in the charger and I used the retractable cable provided with the mini usb adapter. The charger did recharge my batteries, but it got so hot when charging my phone that the outer case warped from overheating. So I ask to replacement, however, the second one I received got the same problem. Also the charging speed is very slow.

I bought another RAVPower rp-pb03 external battery on Amazon one month ago. Since now the battery works very great. I love this device! Not only does it have a very handy flashlight, but it never leaves you guessing how much power is left. It works with my phone, my wife's phone and both of our tablets (all different brands!) The size is nice and compact, and I like the robust weight. It's easy to use, and compatible with everything I've tried! This is by far the BEST accessory I've bought for my electronics by far!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThoroSOE:
Hi!

I recently began using a netbook with Win XP on it and sadly it cannot connect to my HD2 set up as WiFi router. I can select it from the wireless networks list, it shows that it is an ad hoc network and asks for a key - but when I hit connect... the progressbar keeps running and running until I abort the attempt.

XP has all the latest updates, I updated the wireless driver to the latest, I tried it with disabled firewall... I even pre set the network manually (computer to computer, WEP and Key) nothing helps.

At the same time a Vista laptop can connect to the HD2 router just fine.

Any ideas? I'm out of them... And frankly I'm already sick of connecting my devices via cable to get online when my HD2 has this nice and otherwise working feature.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThoroSOE:
Solved... in a way.

When I activate the option in Wifi-settings that forces my computer to only connect to computer to computer networks it works fine. Maybe the connection to the HD2 takes too long to be established or the importance ranking of available regular WiFi networks is too high in the default settings.

But it is quite bothersome to change this setting everytime I want to change the connection type from computer to computer over to regular and vice versa. Does anyone know a way to nullify the network preference without blocking either of network types from being used?

This is how it is now:

When it is set to accept only computer to computer networks I can use my HD2 as WiFi hotspot but am blocked from using any regular hotspot and get a windows error message when I try so.

When I set it to allow all network types and try to connect to my HD2 I get stuck with a connecting messagebox with an ever ongoing progress bar - but I get no error message.

When a known regular network is in range Windows even connects with that, although the connection attempt messagebox is still there. Doesn't make any difference though if a known network is in reach or not. It doesn't connect to my HD2 either way.

I just want it to work without having to make adjustments every time :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airborne Aircrew:
It is a huge security risk to do this but look here and check the "Connect to any" box.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThoroSOE:
That's exactly what I did... See above.

But thanks for the lookup!

M10 and A10 have such similar hardware, hopefully, the A10's ROM would be an ideal candidate for dual booting android in M10.

I see two headers. Followed by a section which may be some signature? And then a file list. The rest of the contents is possibly files. I am not sure what the number at the end of each file name means. The file name "recovery.img" got my hopes high.

Linux does not directly recognize this format. It may be custom. Will try extracting recovery.img assuming the rest of the file is somehow delimited. If someone can recognize the format, that would be great. As usual, all comments are welcome.

Did not bother extracting the other files in the update package. Not sure if they are important.

Its bed idea. M10s screen has size 800x480 but screen on A50 has size 480x320 and A50s screen supports multitouch. So, I don't think that A50 image is sutable for M10.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] aaaku:
Guys, my current attempts are to

1. pick up one of the htc dual boot android roms

2. Replace the fs, kernel and initrd

3. try to boot.

Haret always crashes with some unknown exception. If I know linux, screen size shouldn't be a big issue. There should be params to change this. The reason for picking up A10 rom is the processor match and the rest of device driver compatibility. Please let me know if anyone thinks otherwise.

Feel free to cook things yourself too. As I said, I am no android or mobile expert. I just know some linux. If you want me to extract something from a different update file, I can do that.

Does anyone know how to extract anything from an update exe. Is it some kind of self extracting zip ?

Image extraction tool

Hello,

Here is a small Python script that extracts the files from a raw image:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from struct import *

import re

import sys

if __name__=="__main__":

try:

imageFile = open(sys.argv[1], "r")

except IndexError:

print "Usage:"

print sys.argv[0], "<file>"

print

print "Example:"

print sys.argv[0], "A50_SR2_2_PACKAGE.raw"

sys.exit(1)

OFFSET= 0x1f0

buffer = imageFile.read()

while True:

entry= unpack_from('<24sLL', buffer, OFFSET)

try:

name =re.search(r"(\w+\.\w+)", repr(entry[0])).group(1).strip()

offset= entry[1]

size=entry[2]

print "name=%24s offset=%08d size=%012d" % (name, offset, size)

except AttributeError:

print "Ready!"

break

temp = open(name, "w")

temp.write(buffer[offset:offset+size])

temp.close()

OFFSET=OFFSET + 0x20

Using it I was able toget access to the content of the ext3 image.

My final goal is however not to portAndroid on a WinMo device but rather to install Garmin navigation app on another device. Any hints?
