[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roland12:
Tried the radio 1.17. Flashing is indeed straightforward via SD card. Unfortunately the GPS did not work. I then changed the whole system by flashing the 826x series rom, as recommended here recently in the Q and A section. Great ROM, even better than the one I used. Still no GPS, so I concluded that it is a hardware issue. Then used an external GPS and finally got it to work after changing some registry data, because the 'external gps' settings on the phone would not save a com port for the external device, as others had also experienced. Used the two links below and finally deduced a solution from that as written below the links. (I could not use the exact solution from the link, since the registry item referring to the external device was named differently) Freedom Keychain GPS 2000 is the external device I use, really cheap (19 euro) and lasts up to 10 hours and is really small (considering the battery use of X1 not a bad solution).

the links:

sorry as new user I am not allowed to post the links

the changes in the registry:

1.	[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers]

"CurrentDriver"=" GPSOnePort

2.	[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\GPSOnePort]

"CommPort"="COMX:" where X = the hardware COM port (for me COM0)

"InterfaceType"="COMM"

HI

I have HTC magic 32B.

Can anyone tell which consumes more battery power during a call

Handsfree or phone speaker?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
I would assume the speakerphone would, but just barely. It's not going to make a difference whether or not you use the head speaker or the speakerphone. The main power consumer during voice calls is the actual network usage, not the speaker. The speaker doesn't use very much power at all. If you are looking to save battery I would enable airplane mode in low signal areas so you don't drain quickly, or enable 2g only networks, or even disable the auto-refresh features in apps such as facebook and gmail and twitter. Little battery conserving things like that add up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
I don't know about you, but I find the EVO's haptic feedback "buzziness" annoying. I prefer a distinctive "click" to a "buzz" when pressing keys.

I see that in settings using cm6, you can adjust haptic feedback. Does anyone know the correct combination to get a distinctive click? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ynhylviso:
Sorry for the bump, but since it seems impossible to find something that can adjust the haptic feedback without rooting your phone.

I discovered that Better Keyboard has its own settings, where you can adjust the haptic feedback when pressing keys on the keyboard, so you will hear a distinctive click. :)

I myself have a HTC Desire HD, and as you say, all the vibrations are BUUZZZZ, not simple responses. I am still looking for a way to get "clicks" when pressing the Home, Menu, Back and Search buttons.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenfly:
there might be a root app on the market to edit the ms of vibrations for certain actions like screen selecting, typing, ect...

Is there a workaround 4 this or is this just a bug in the build? Thx.

[Desire HD General] andreasy:
I just received my DHD and as soon as I inserted the battery, it powered on by itself. I plugged in mains for a long charge cycle (I don't want to use it while charging).

I want to power off for real but it seems that when I press the power button even for prolonged time, it just goes to standby. I want to charge it while powered-off. How do I do this?

I didn't have the chance to play with Android before so here I am asking easy questions I guess.
[Desire HD General] jorjino2000:
Try with this:

Tap the power button on the upper side of phone for few seconds, then you will see on the screen new window with three possibilities - power off, aeroplane mode and restart. Choose power off. Then you can charge your phone.

Other possibility - work/play with your phone till the battery is fully drained and the phone will switch off itself.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
go to settings applications and disable fast boot
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
Thank you all. That's what I was doing but I guess that the screen was locked and it didn't work. As soon as I unlocked the screen and performed this procedre it worked. I just didn't want to start working with the phone until it is fully charged and that's why I was trying to switch off without entering the phone.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
If you don't disable HTC Fastboot you phone isn't really off, just hibernating.
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
Good point but I had to go through all setup steps until I am able to configure this setting. Anyway, I was planning to leave the phone charging untouched for several hours but I guess that wouldn't be possible.
[Desire HD General] Burning_aces:
My phone boots back into clockwork recovery even when fastboot is disabled.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Apparently the DHD uses the recovery to display the charging LED (orange or green), so when you replace the recovery with CWM attaching the charger when the phone is off will start CWM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeoldgreat1:
I've found a couple of threads mentioning how to change the favourite icons on the Opera tab. I wa just wondering if there was a way to get XDA_UC to copy your modified icons to the Windows/Thumbnail folder after a ROM update?

I know that I can use the Energy XDA_UC Configuration Tools to copy files to the device after a ROM update. The only problem is that all the files in the Thumbnail folder have names like {2DA1346E-8B50-8319-BFE3-0FFC120488F6}.png. Are all these thumbnails randomly generated or are they related to the website or icon position in the opera tab?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huggs:
^What a jackass^

That aside,

I would suppose it would be possible, if you find the place in your registry that points at those weird filenames that WinMo generates when the thumbnails are created, and wrote a script that inserted the thumbnails into their directory, and then inserted the corresponding entries into the registry.

Shouldn't be too hard to do, since XDA_UC can do the registry xml thing...

Is there any way to calibrate the landscape keyboard?

Every time i try to press o, i get ip. each letter either side of o.

Its a bit mad and very annoying.

I have tried to mash the keypad for a dialing wand but this does not have good success either :D
[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
I've not had the problem you mention in landscape, I just tried it there while sending a rude text message to a friend (she'll appreciate it). If anything I'm having issues on the other side of the keyboard in landscape but I hardly ever type in landscape.
[Desire HD General] CodeJACK:
Hmm, yeah a friend has now also confirmed that he has no issue but he doesn't use landscape much either.

When you say you are having issues in the other side? Do you mean you have other keys with same issue?

Maybe there is just an issue with our screens? No calibration option for the landscape keyboard?
[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
I mean the other side of the keyboard, QW etc side. I think it's down to the way I hold it and calibration helped a little but this is all in portrait mode. I find it difficult to hold in landscape and type one handed accurately so I use the two thumbs method.

Can I flash some ROMs which developed for G2 to my Desire Z too?

P.S.Soon,I hope I can make some themes for Desire Z too.

Often I have made some for Hero (Froyd Villain) and available at VillainROM.uk
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
They're the same phone basically (just different radio bands and some slightly different partitioning). So usually custom ROMs will work fine on both phones (e.g. Cyanogen). Best is to have a look in the particular thread on that custom ROM, and see if you can see DZ users in there (you usually will).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Elusivo:
hi, in windows mobile I had a very small app that integrated native network access to the os, that way I could simply navigate into my shared folders on my computer using any app, without any app needing samba support cause my computer's shared folders were seen by those programs as a normal folder in windows mobile, kinda like a diferent partition alongside the sdcard, and so it allowed me to use any video player for example and just browse to my network folder like we do from one computer to another and like that watch the videos I have stored in my computer in my mobile.

I was wondering if there is any app that adds that network integration to the android os so that any program can easily access shared folders on a computer?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyfaldonc:
Hi, I’ve been struggling to remove the simlock on an HTC Desire that was locked and branded by Tmobile (UK). The unlock code that I bought was accepted by the phone but there was no second request (I believe that the desire should ask twice for the unlock code). Since then I’ve had no network unless a tmobile sim is inserted. The phone hasn't asked for the code again.

Things I’ve tried:

DEBRANDING: I made a goldcard and flashed a stock froyo ROM as it was suggested that this process would remove the simlock as long as I remoed my sim during it. (http://www.broadbandgenie.co.uk/blog/20100822-how-debrand-htc-desire-update-froy)

ROUTING

I’ve routed (Unrevoked3) and flashed a custom ROM (Leedroid 2.2f)

S-OFF

I’ve achieved S-off (AlphaRev) (but not Radio S-OFF, SuperCID and SimUnlock)

Everything went to plan, but still no network!

I’m not unique in experiencing this problem with a tmobile branded HTC Android phone.

There seems to be a fix for the Dezire Z/G2/DHD (easy full Root, S-OFF, SuperCID AND SIM UNLOCK) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857390 using Gfree

Ive showed my support by getting one myself, most, no, ALL people who have seen my phone are impressed with it. there are also tons of GOOD reviews for WP7 and the devices themselves have received good reviews....so what going wrong? anything we can do?
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
Open up the API so we can develop more useful applications for the phone!
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
From a uk perspective, there are 2 issues IMHO.

1) the marketing, not visible enough and not helped by sales staff in carrier shops and online not knowing about wp7 and/or actively selling against it. All the phone shops in my loca mall still have huge iPhone 4 banners in the window and that was launched months ago.

2) if anyone does get as far as thinking about getting a wp7, they come to a site like this to research it and are immediately greeted by loads of posts about wp7 being crap because you can't sync with outlook 1995 via a piece of string attached to a commodore PET running dos 1.0, and WP7 being crap cos you can't load custom roms etc.

I like wp7 and I want Microsoft to fill the gaps with the missing features, what concerns me is that if all the negativity results in poor sales, MS will have less incentive to spend money on the platform. We have to "evangelise" with positive posts on forums like this highlighting the many good features of the platform, and where we criticise, it should be constructive. I have used all the main mobile OS's, I think wp7 has the most promise and am proud to say I am a fan.
[Windows Phone 7 General] davidebanks:
you are spot on! the UK marketing is EXTREEMLY poor and whats with 8GB?? how can we make MS take notice of whats really going on over here in the UK?
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
I havev16gb on my hd7, I don't use it all (only 4th at the mo).
[Windows Phone 7 General] jz9833:
go into t-mobile stores and tell the reps how much you like it. It seems like T-Mobile employees have been instructed to be anti-WP7. The 3 stores I went to to buy a case, screen protector, and the phone itself all seemed to bring up the problems with WM 6.5 when I was looking at the phones.

All of them were also surprised that I liked the phone alot and couldn't believe I used to have a nexus one and then a vibrant. When I bought the phone the sales rep kept trying to talk me out of it also. I've also seen plent of people posting the same comments about t-mobile here on this forum.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blahism:
What are some creative apps that can be done quickly to fill in gaps?

I'd say one way to get some sustainability is to work with companies that currently have iphone/droid apps and offer services to help deliver a WP7 app - either through custom work for them directly or seeking out a new open source project/effort.

i've been communicating with NPR myself to get the framework for an open source npr app. If people go to npr.com and see a winodws phone app listed there they may feel a tad more comforatable that their phone is feature rich and relevent. Same could be said for other popular institutions that have apps available where there is no current wp7 branding
[Windows Phone 7 General] FL5:
One of the things I find disheartening is the misunderstanding that 7 can't do something just because the 6.5 way to do that job can't be copied over. Case in point: MyPhone. There are plenty of threads where folk get riled up because they can't believe that MS could forget to make 7 compatible with MyPhone! What's even more disturbing is the lack of responses in those threads about how MyPhone is utterly obsolete now due to Live.

To reiterate what has been said already, those of us that have actually used 7 need to get out there a lot more and help answer questions and concerns, especially when they're just flat-out wrong or based on misunderstanding. If anything, that's what's gonna help with understanding of adoption of the platform.

As far as success goes, though, I don't really see any need for worry. MS is obviously expressing a serious desire to compete here, and is laying out the resources to do it right. They did it with the Xbox when folk thought they were crazy and couldn't possibly break into that market, and they're coming in fierce with 7 now.

At this point, we only need to be honest. Let it be known what you like and dislike, and help folk around you to make informed decisions.

Also, have lots of fun playing with the things. :P People respond well to information, but a smile is also very telling, and infectious.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jeffgeno:
That's not true. There's no document or text message backup with Live. Those are critical features that must be implemented to make it a real My Phone replacement.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FL5:
I like how you dismissed everything pertinent in that post to pick out that one part to whinge about, managing to both miss the point entirely and not contribute to the topic.

That being said, I guess I need to look into how to back up SMS. Not something I usually worry about, as I view SMS as disposable data (and partly because winmo got me used to having to clear SMS to prevent lag. Not really relevant anymore, I suppose), but it might be handy info in case I need to answer a question.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ren13B:
Buy games and apps on the marketplace. If this phone is going to survive we need developers writing quality apps. When you do download an app/game rate it and leave comments. Even if the app/game is free let the developer know there's interest in it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
this thread is a repeat of before... but as i said before... the best way to get people into windows phone is to let them use yours. i've shown my phone to a lot of my friends and all of them really like it. a lot of them iPhone users. let them play with your phone, the messaging, email, even facebook app. it's a risk to you cause they could do stuff to your wall :P but in the end it shows them what it's like. sure, they're not rushing out to buy it now, but at least it's now in their sights and they can think whether they'll stick with the sea of icons, or have a river of them (jokes of course, river being the app list... come on MS implement serach...).
[Windows Phone 7 General] karelj:
It's really up to MS and the hardware partners.

Case in point..the new Nexus phone for Android from Samsung. The prototype for this phone has been around for a while. Why wasn't this also the Samsung's WP7 offering? 16 GB storage and a sweet body.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Focus, but seeing that Nexus made me cuss a bit.

HD7 - screen issues. HTC surround - speakers are a gimmick and again, lousy screen - compared to the S-Amoled of the Focus. Kick ass hardware is a must.

MS needs to get on the ball and get updates out fast and regular. They have to keep WP7 users interested and invested. That means better communication with us. Let us know in no uncertain terms what is being worked on and it's progress.

If people are confident that MS will keep upgrading/updating the OS, they will jump on board.

Get those missing features into the OS. Roll out those performance enhancements - for God's sake fix the issues with MarketPlace! It's hard enough to be behind on features, MS also has to integrate stuff that's ahead of the competition.

Advertising - the ads for WP7 are not getting the job done. Granted, it's tricky to advertise a brand new OS that's suppose to get MS back in the game while the OS itself is behind the others in features, but there is a huge market out there that won't miss those features. Show the People and Photo hubs in action..show the FB integration in greater detail.

Of course, open up the APIs. I cannot fathom why this is seemingly not a priority.
[Windows Phone 7 General] votum:
WP7 suffers from the same issues as Zune did. If they don't open the API then WP7 will fall by the wayside just like Zune.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
Don't know what you're talking about but I love my Zune HD and use it daily.

As for Zune falling by the wayside, it's on Xbox and WP7. It's all around and it's somehow on the wayside somewhere? Be real.

As for the APIs, devs seem to be so lazy anyway, I doubt open APIs will bring about the AP revolution you think will happen.

Even offerings from MS have been half-hearted. A lot of APs really could have benefited from the Live Tile technology but for some reason, chose not to implement it.

Devs need to love or at least appear to love what they're doing if we want quality apps.

Apps done right are a joy on my HD7 and I do not regret buying this phone at all. It's just pleasant surprise after pleasant surprise with this OS and I expect the manufacturers of handsets to step up to the bar after they realize it's here to stay. MS will continue to invest heavily in mobile as it is the way of the future. We've only had WP7 for not even 2 months, give it time!
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
I dunno man,

ask 100 people if they have a Zune or an iPod and or use Zune or iTunes and see what the response is...
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
you have a point in that the market is flooded with iPod/iPhone which results in more people using iTunes (so it's a bit of a loaded question).

but yea, as good as the Zune is for those that have it, the marketing that Apple does is just a lot better. I think it was wise that MS move their Zune to windows phone. It is a really good peice of software and many find it better than iTunes (on Windows). But of course, if you have an iPhone (or i product) you're locked into using iTunes, as you are with windows phone. So this is why the numbers for iTunes are so high. If that wasn't the case, there would be far fewer people using iTunes that's for sure.
