This is an interesting thread. I have a Pebble charger and it literally takes four hours to charge my 1400mAh from ~0% to 100%, now my question is, will this damage my Pebble charger shorting the two wires to draw a greater current from the unit?

Overheating, melting and explosions are something I am looking to avoid. :p
[Desire General] mercianary:
I have yet to find a device that has been damaged doing this. I have personally tried this on a ps3, Xbox wii, 4 laptops 2 desktops, car radio,car charger and a sky+ box.
[Desire General] AndyCr15:
Did you try this? I too have a Pebble and would be interested to know if I have just 30 minutes to plug it in, can I charge quicker.

Also, did the guys PC blow up? He said he would come back!?!? Maybe it did and he's in hospital still :( Dangerous things USB ports...

thanks for this ! I go to try this

MM i have an interesting one (which i still dont get)

i have a pebble charger

with OEM HTC Micro USB charger cable

and Pebble charger

plug phone into OEM micro USB charger to phone (phone says Power AC) yeh thats right

OEM Micro USB to computer (chargin USB)

So far so good

Pebble charger OEM USB to phone (chargin USB)

Pebble Cable charger to phone ( Power AC)

why are the OEM and Pebble charger cables different?

Sorry if i am posting in the wrong area but the topics seem pretty similar to me =P
[Desire General] veehexx:
to put my 2pence in, i've just done this but slightly different than the OP method..

i bought the belkin car charger, gives 1amp, but is detected as 'USB', not 'AC' charging mode, so my phone only charges upto 500ma which isnt enough (in reality it doesnt charge when i have GPS & max screen brightness).

instead of modding a USB cable (unable to use for data) or buying extra kit (money/ordering/going out) i pulled a strand of wire from a spare mains cable i had, threaded it through the 2 center pins on the belkin charger and then twisted the wire together.

USB cable is slightly tighter in the socket now, but still removable and keeps everything nice and tidy.... and more to the point; cheap!

poor shown from belkin; 'USB charger' mode in a car! like it would ever have data connection to the 12v socket.

hope that helps someone!

Does this mod change the detection of car mode

Hi,

I have just started flashing a couple of roms and noticed that when using my desire with my car charger (1amp rated) it does not charge when doing navigation. looking on battery widget I get a max 289mw on car charge and it is showing as a USB charge. Flashed back to stock and now the car charger shows up as ac connected rather than USB. This does solve the discharging on navigation issue but I would like to run Gingerbread.

my question is...

Will this mod stop the Desire detecting and automatically entering car mode when it is plugged in? Anyone done it to their car charger?

Ta
[Desire General] hgmichna:
Yes

The cable modification (shorting the data lines 2 and 3, instructions at http://winhlp.com/node/855 ) will switch any HTC smartphone into AC charging mode.

But I am totally stumped as to why you can achieve AC charging mode without this mod. I know of no other way the HTC phone could detect a car USB charger. I'm tempted to ask you to repeat the test.

If anybody here has any idea, please respond. To the best of my knowledge no USB device is allowed to pull more than 0.5 A from USB power, lest the power source switch off according to the USB specification. The only exception is that the device gets positive information that it is connected to a charger that can deliver a higher current, and for HTC devices that is signalled by a shortcut between the two data lines.
[Desire General] H5N1Duck:
Thank you. I would rather not check again I did look for a while. Reverted back to stock for now.

It is a Huawei curly lead car charger with a 1a rating. The strangest thing is that with my stock Vodafone rom it detects as AC power on battery widget but on both leedroid and RCMix it shows up as a USB charge and I get the power issue. On all three roms it detects car mode correctly (Which is good!).

I was just wondering if the mod would also break the car mode detection?

I can't find anything on how car mode is detected!
[Desire General] hgmichna:
Car mode

I first thought, when you say "car mode", you mean max current charge mode or AC charge mode. But now I get the impression that you mean something entirely different by "car mode".

I don't know "car mode". What is it?
[Desire General] H5N1Duck:
It is when you plug a car charger in you get a car icon in the top left of the status bar. It also does things like activating "car home" or "car dock" which are car friendly home screens with big icons. It can also do things like turn on speakerphone as default.

I was wondering if the mod will make the Desire not know if it is plugged into a car charger and make it believe it is only a standard mains charger? Was hoping someone had done it and could say what they found.

how do you remove the crossed out apps at the bottom of the list?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] koreancanuck:

Also wrong forum :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rg400smarttowel:
Delete backups for uninstalled apps has 0 under it. it didnt delete anything.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] koreancanuck:
Then select the individual apps that are crossed out and click delete.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rg400smarttowel:
There are no buttons to delete it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] koreancanuck:
You have no backup of the file hence you cannot delete a non-existent backup file. To be honest if you don't know how to use titanium backup I strongly recommend you read some on it.

As for the files that you uploaded, Crossed = it's not installed on your phone and TiBu shows you that after you uninstall an app. Try refreshing the app list.

i have the same issue and i have been using TiBu for over a year. there is no obvious way to remove the crossed out apps that i have both uninstalled and deleted the backups.It uses a term that is not familiar. Im really troubled that since you clearly simply dont know the answer, you decide to bash someone that really needs help.. thats pretty sorry man.. if you cant answer the question why start flaming someone that just wants some help? not cool dude...:mad:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
I was speaking with a friend who owns a Vibrant and has been paying close attention to developments for his phone. Apparently, the devs working on the Vibrant had ported Wifi Calling over to the phone on a custom ROM, and then removed it shortly after because the application had been poorly coded, and, even when idle, would cause large battery hits.

He mentioned something along the lines of the application constantly spitting out error messages or the like even on idle. Once he told me, I froze the app using Titanium, and my battery feels somewhat better, but that may just be psychological.

Has anyone heard of this? Maybe if the devs became aware, they could look into it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fade2black101:
Hey people, I've searched around and have not been able to find a solution for a while now so I thought i'd ask the question here.

The Touch Pro 2 has 3 softkeys: 2 on home screen and 1 in the start menu that says (Lock)

The two first softeys are quit easy to manage with different apps or directly from the registry. The third, however, is dedicated to the lock screen (phone) function and I have not found a way to reassign what this button does.

I would like to reassign this button to S2U2 instead using the WM6.5 original lock function.

I've enabled the appropriate options on S2U2 to over ride this button, but whenever my RAM usage reaches critical and Apps autoclose, it seems to break the function of this button and only a restart will solve it. I've even tried adding iLock2 into the task manager exception list but nothing seems to work, which is why i'd just like to assign the lock button to S2U2 permanently.

Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this ?

Yesterday i updated my HTC Touch Diamond to Windows Mobile 6.5.... i wish i didn't do that! I use BSB Unlimited Rom and now my WIFI doesn't work.

My cell finds the wifi connection and my home network. It even connects. But when i want to start MSN Messenger, Oprah, Internet explorer, it doesn't make a connection!

With Windows Mobile 6.1 i've never had troubles connecting

I hope someone can help?

Hasn't worked for me on stock ji6. Installed 2 or 3 but never worked. Do you have to do something special to use google voice for international calls?
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
When you set it up, first run, it will ask you if you want to make all your calls via google voice, only international calls or ask every time.

I have it set to international calls only.

P.S. Also have you setup you google voice account? I am not sure if it matters when you link your phone with it, but for a good measure go to google.com/voice login with your google creds, pick the country, number and verify your acct.

Ok guys,

Since the OTA my wifi calling feature is taking 40% of the power. The wifi which i use has a diiferent reading so can not be mixed up. Now wifi calling is clearly disabled and can not forcestop it.

Any suggestions or solutions and is any one else in the same boat.

Also is there another app that breaks down like power tutor does so i can cross check. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] EfemaN:
I disabled mine using Titanium Backup; it allows you to "freeze" applications. I have an awaiting question in the Q&A forum (where this thread should really be as well) asking about the battery usage and coding of the app.

I will try juice defender, i think the problem might be in power tutor as well as when i uncheck the lcd part of the total, wifi calling seem to drop of the list which should not be as wifi calling can not be using lcd time, so i will try and reconfirm using a different app. But in power tutor it clearly logs as using 40% some time more of the total power. But thanks for that info.
[G2 and Desire Z General] weber09:
I used the method detailed here to permanently disable many of the apps that came with my G2.

This method is a bit in depth and requires either an ADB connection or the terminal emulator app, but it works well.

Good luck, I hope this helped.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EfemaN:
Ah that's right, I forgot about that; especially odd because I had done that myself before the perma-root. Yeah, OP, follow those instructions and you should be able to actually disable the Wifi Calling app.

[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
What does this have to do with new customers? They're still going to charge more on their tiered plan when their LTE phones get released. The point is to show every carrier will soon be charging more, either for phones or plans. Pretty simple. Plus promotions expire, we're talking about standard pricing
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
Yep its called inflation get used to it. I remember when a candy bar was .50 cents and gas was $1.25/gallon. I also remember when .50 cents was currency and not a rapper. Whats you point? Let me ask you this how old are you? Has anything gotten cheaper except the quality of merchandise? Things go up they don't go down. Are you expecting your cellular bill to become less some how?

And what does all this have to do with being sick of the $10 fee

?

What does it all mean, and is there a god?
[EVO 4G General] barnacles10:
haha yeah, ten dollars, big deal.

My friend, I am paying $240 EXTRA over my contract for absolutely nothing.

What more are people in my case consuming? I don't have 4G. I live in a town that won't see 4G, probably for quite a while.

I have been saying since 4G came out, it should be a want it or not feature.

If its available, and you want it, activate it. $10/month please

If you couldn't care less, or its NOT even available if you want it, temporary disable our authentication and don't charge us.

Simple as that. :cool:
[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
The fee for 4G makes 4G special. How would you feel if it were free? Not special, you'd be looking at what it is to be "First" with 4G. Sort of makes you feel that at 5¢ a kwh you're going to get 4800 kwh worth of use... lmao

So every one of these "fee" threads just says "Gee golly sprint we are gullible".
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I'm not complaining about the fee at all, this is to show all those that are complaining that prices will always go up and continue to go up regardless of the company. Newer technology = more money and everyone consented to the charge when you bought the phone and kept it past 30 days so what's the use in complaining?
[EVO 4G General] latoso:
Agree. I got my evo the first day it came out i paid $540.00 retail price. I knew about the $10 fee two weeks later i got another one for my brother. I have 5 evos on a family plan i agreed to the $10 fee for each phone and you did the same so people stop crying no body forced you to buy the phone and is not the only android phone sprint has. You have choices and you even have 30 days to return it.
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
I like this idea. I didn't buy an EVO because it was 4G, I bought it because of all the other hardware candy. I don't need more than 3G on my cell phone, so an option would be nice, but I'll still pay the $10 because I love my phone regardless.
[EVO 4G General] anthonyandrews:
complaints about complainers

I am tired of paying more for everything, but that is life. I don't like the $10.00 fee, but I am not here to complain about it.

I just want to point out that your argument is flawed, because when I buy a faster car, a bigger grill, blowup doll etc... I do not have to pay an extra monthly fee to own those items.

I think a new forum to complain about the people who are complaining is worse than the original complainers.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
You missed the point. A faster car eats more gas, a bigger grill eats more gas and a bigger house in most instances cost more monthly. Youre spending more one way or another, whether monthly, yearly, up front, every time you need a refill,etc.
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
Would rather have a 10$ fee instead of a 2GB cap.

[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I bought the EVO knowing there is a $10 monthly premium, so complaining about it after I bought the phone would just make me a douche bag. If you dont want to pay 10 extra a month, dont get a 4g phone, simple as that. Any argument on this is irrelevant and a waste of time.

[EVO 4G General] anthonyandrews:
I didn't miss the point. The house itself costs the same regardless of how much you use it. The phone costs the same no matter how much you use it. The gas service in the house is unrelated to the house price, as is the same with the phone service and the phone.

What I did have issue with is on a previous device, I was told that my "unlimited data plan (with no cap)" did not have enough data, but the newer "unlimited data plan (with a 5 GB cap)" did....

At least they are being honest and letting us know they just want to pay more, and they tell you BEFORE you buy the device. The previous device was a warranty replacement with a newer device. (I did not want the newer device, I just wanted a working mogul, after 4 failed in store refurbs.)
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
there is no 5gb cap, please don't spread false myth
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
So ur saying ur electric bill is the same regardless the size of the house? Phone bill is the same regardless the amount of international calls? Prices always go up due to one reason or another. Btw there is no 5gig cap.

Actually cell phone bills have gone down alot. My first cell bill through cellular one in '94 was $750 my first month. That was insane.

As for this thread...pointless and just added to the million other pointless $10 threads. We're all willingly paying it whether we agree or not. Should it be optional? Yes. Do i pay a premiufor a service i dont get? Yes. Did i agree to it knowing i dont get it? Yes. Do i have a right to *****? Yes. Will it do any good like this thread has done? Not so much.
