[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
No reason you can't you an RSS reader like yomomedia can't downloadthose for you but Zune really is the way to go with WiFi syncing them automatically.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
So there is no way to add a new podcast and update the podcast directly from the phone??

This is totally absurd.
[Windows Phone 7 General] at45:
Agreed.

(+characters)
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
yomomedia can directly download any podcast you subscribe to automatically. I just choose to use zune since I don't need them immediately as they are available.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
I'm beginning to wonder why you even have this phone....:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Actually I really love the Zune part and the OS interface.

But some missing features are really boring. But I'm sure MS will add them soon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] panflute:
not so quick

You can set up a wireless sync with your wifi at home. The phone will use your wireless connection between your computer and phone to sync whatever podcasts you are subscribed to. Syncing begins after you have your phone plugged in for 10 minutes. I agree that a file manager would be helpful, but that may have to wait until the phone is cracked. In the meantime there is a ton of software available and its only going to get better.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
that is a very nice feature, now if only I would leave my phone in standby for 10 minutes... :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Usually people mainly need their podcasts (and the updates) when they are outside. Not when they are home.

This is why I think the necessity to sync with Zune is kind of absurd regarding podcasts.

This shall be done directly from the phone, as usual.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I usually sync my podcasts to my Zune before going to bed then I'm all set. Never felt the need to update outside :D.

Flashed,

and a major issue straight away was my capacitive buttons didn't work. But once again I'm using an Asian D-Z, so I'd like to hear if its working on anybody else's.

Also my keyboard has a different layout to whats actually being typed out so... yeah
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I would post up on that over in the thread on the G2 side, you'll get a lot more help there.

Capacitive buttons are working fine with this ROM on my Bell D-Z.

I think I have a keeper with this one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pickx:
There are several reports of poor battery life with this version so I'm waiting for the next release candidate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ddotpatel:
Is it not an issue that we only have 2 custom keys on the keyboard where they have 3?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Custom Keys don't even work yet so, no ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ddotpatel:
Nice one. So are we talking a different keyboard layout or just those not working?

I'll go read up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I don't think the keyboard layout is different, no, because there seems to be no problem flashing G2 ROM straight onto a DZ.

There is no issue with flashing this rom and still having 850 3g is there, made that mistake once, don't want to again. Im on fido in canada.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ddotpatel:
They are different...

I suppose its no deal breaker though....

Works great on 850 here in the states. I've fallen in love with dz again! :p

Of course, CyanogenMOD is ADW Launcher v1.2.0, original ROM is using HTC Sense.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Reading pwns you, lol. First off, that screenshot isn't CyanogenMod, nor is it ADW. Second, they are talking about the keyboards from the Z to the g2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mr_Q:
Ah sorry, my bad.. As it was in the CyanogenMod topic and I did see ADW Launch & HTC, with no additional text, I assumed it was the difference between the roms/launchers..

Sorry, I admit, I should have read the previous page. :rolleyes:

[Desire HD General] michael_brooks:
Hi all,

Apologies for the rambling post below but....

I would like to report major problems I have experienced with 32gb Micro SD cards with a number of Android devices, and most recently my new Desire HD.

The problems occur when I copy across my music library to the 32gb SD. It is a mixture of MP3 and AAC (mp4) files and the initial amount of data is a minimum of 5gb. All the data copies across fine, as I can tell from the available space under settings/SD & phone storage. However, the stock music player app does not recognise roughly half the music, and some of the music it has recognised produces a "cannot play this file format" message if i try and listen to it.

Using Astro File Manager, I then browse to the location on the SD card where I have copied the music and find that the music (that was not recognised) , is not physically on the SD card (despite the available space remaining suggesting the files are there).

If I then copy new music to the Desire HD on the SD card, the music copies over but the same scenario above occurs.

If I keep the SD card in the phone for 24 hrs the phone will crash numerous times and the only way I can turn the phone back on is to remove the battery.

I have tested 4 different 32gb Micro SDHC cards, 2 Class 4 SanDisks and 2 Class 6 Kingstons, same results with both.

Phone-wise, I have tested this on an HTC Wildfire and Samsung Galaxy S (running Android 2.1) and an HTC Desire and HTC Desire HD (running 2.2). I will test on a Samsung Galaxy Tab tonight.

Also, I have tested the above after formatting the SD card in the devices themselves, and from formatting the SD card from Windows 7 using FAT32 and 32kilobytes as the allocation unit size.

Has anyone else experiences issues with 32gb Micro SDHC cards? FYI, the stock 8gb Samsung SD card that comes with the Desire HD works without any issues whatsoever.

regards

Michael
[Desire HD General] MarkieSA:
I'm so glad you've posted these findings, I was contemplating buying a 32GB microsd card but could not justify paying more than twice the amount it costs for a 16GB card. I think I'm going to settle with a 16GB card now.

EDIT:-

Just thought about something, where are you doing this from, Windows 7 ? There is a Microsoft Windows update that fixes a problem with Windows 7 not reading 32GB or higher memory cards properly.

h t t p : / / support.microsoft.com/?kbid=976422
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
Very interesting and useful info for who tend to use 32GB microsd with DHD.

Is there anyone using 32 GB without any problem? We need to find out if DHD has a common problem with 32 GB or not.
[Desire HD General] MrGarak:
I have one I got last week thats working perfect! 32GB class 4 from mymemory.co.uk (their own card, no manufacturer name).

I've copied a bunch of music and some HDTV episodes onto it so it's almost full, all files are definitely there and I've had no issues with playback. Using Astro too.

Copied them over on a Windows 7 system with Android Manager WiFi, I've used the regular USB cable once or twice which works fine too.
[Desire HD General] makaveli25:
I also have a 32gig card.

Initially I had similar problems to you bit sure what fixed it, HTC sync works and I did reboot one or twice, but its all working
[Desire HD General] insty:
No issues with my Integral 32GB Class 4 card.
[Desire HD General] braby:
Try formatting with 32k cluster size...I've read that it helps with stuttering video issue, maybe it also helps with this...
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
Then nice to know it's a spesific problem not common. Thanks for the feedbacks guys.
[Desire HD General] doogs20:
I'm having exactly same problems as post 1. Someone suggested it might be a fake 32GB card so I'm currently running h2testw on it to see.
[Desire HD General] leppie:
That was the case with my 32GB one. h2testw reported only the first 1.8GB usable.

I suspect these are factory rejects being snatched before being destroyed/recycled.
[Desire HD General] nubbin:
I've been using a Kingston Class 4 32Gb card for 2-3 months now with absolutely no problems. Almost full of music and Sat Nav maps, and not even a hint of problems. Make sure you buy from a reputable, or at least traceable, supplier!
[Desire HD General] kujoswrath:
Sounds like the card is faulty or fake, ALWAYS test with H2TESTW and format it with Panasonic's SD Formatter app BEFORE using it with any device! Too many dodgey cards out there!
[Desire HD General] Foladko:
Mind if I ask where the hell did you find 32GB class 6 Kingston or other cards.

I can't find anything higher than class 4. Also on their official page there aren't any 32gb microSDHC class 6+.:mad:
[Desire HD General] thedan55:
Ho everybody this is the answer. I have bought over 10 32gb micro SD cards from eBay and amazon.

Some would not even format. Dome would format but while trying to transfer the files half way through the card would fail and would not be able to format or only see the card as 8gb.

Some would format and transfer would be good but by the time I would check for the data on the card the data would have disappeared.

Let me make one thing clear ALL THESE CARDS WERE CHEAP NOCK OFFS AND CHEAP QUALITY FROM CHINA.

I payed from £25 to £80 from eBay and amazon and they all failed.

I bought ONE FROM SCAN.CO.UK and it worked first time and still works with no issues thank God.

IT IS NOT THE DHD IT IS THE CARDS.

The reason they all failed and why its so hard to believe is because not everyone that buys the cards would transfer so much data at the beginning which is why the card failed, the huge amount of data being transferred showed the true defects in the card.

I really hope this helped.

Kind regards

Imran
[Desire HD General] braveBuddy:
thanks guys for this discussion it really helped me as i was planing on buying one such card from ebay now would prefer a more reliable vendor and would read more reviews.
[Desire HD General] Guru Meditation:
I've had a Lexar class 10 32GB I got from Amazon for £70 - works really well. Took a bit longer to 'prepare' when I first put it in, but no problems since.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sauron@Mordor:
I've been reading through the various Android build threads and my head is spinning. I've tried a few different ones (so far HyperDroid 1.6 was the least buggy I tried), but none has been truly stable. The phone would periodically "sleep" and would need a hard power cycle to come back to life. I'm using a recent Energy ROM as my WM. That's been working fine, but I'm hoping I can migrate to Android soon.

Can anyone recommend a known solid build? I don't care about all the bleeding edge bells and whistles...just an iteration of Android that works reliably on my HD2. I'm not a programmer or a "hacker"....so a lot of the lingo here is confusing.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Can we get at least one? I mean some of us may not know what a Non-Sense UI looks like.

Also, will this ROM help extend battery life? I am assuming it will with less eye-candy correct?

Thank you.
