[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyOCL:
Thats not a fair comparison...

My first car was stable and worked.. but my newer cars did the same so much nicer and were better to use.

Same with upgrading. The 1.72 stock rom is stable but the features I now have on the upgraded 3.14 rom is nicer.. you would only understand if you used it for a few days.

Each to their own really
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaccers:
What I'm saying is that I've no need not to wait for O2 to pull their finger out and give us the new ROM from them.

As soon as they do release it, I will be upgrading.

The stock O2 ROM has no gumph in it from them, other than the blue splash screen (which is a lot nicer than the orange MS splash screen after it! damn you MS, damn you to heck!).

Also by keeping it stock I can better support my clients who use the same phone, after all there have been a fair few threads on "with this rom I can do X but not with this other rom"

Other threads have suggested the modifications done by operators for their phones' roms are quite heavy and annoying. The O2 one is pretty clean, off the top of my head, other than the O2 "get settings" app, I can't think what else they've imposed.

If the ROM was full of gumph that I wanted rid of, then I'd be looking at changing. Lude made that point, why stick with a stock rom that is full of gumph you don't want or need? It's a valid point for roms which are full of gumph, but the O2 one (not that Lude would probably be aware of this, hence why I pointed it out) isn't like that, hence why I've no rush to shoehorn a non-stock 3.14 rom onto it (give it 6 months without a release from O2 and I might consider it).

There's also the issue of compatibility with O2's UMTS900 update they released for the 1.72 and below roms.

O2's 3.14 release should have it built in, probably part of what's taking them longer to release it, whereas I don't know if other 3.14 roms are compatible.

What are the features you've found are improved with the new ROM?

Car analogy :D

My 3rd car was stable and worked, my 5th and 6th were brand new, but weren't as stable even though they had more features they lacked some too, so since then I've gone back to the same as the 3rd :D (I have 3 of them, and in total have owned 6 - My name is Xaccers and I'm a Xantia-holic)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyFZ1S:
Believe it or not Some of us have tried the 3.14 Official ROM but with HSPL it displayed the Wrong amount of RAM etc, Seeing as we have Branded handsets we cannot flash from standard SPL, Apart from the fact there was no cleartype adjustment and you needed to reg fix etc, In other words, If it aint broke, Don't fix it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imperator Nick:
Still waiting for 02UK here as well - I'm actually waiting for it so I can try Android without any HSPL nonsense since I will have a compatible radio with the 3.14 ROM.

I've asked 02 multiple times for an eta and they just say they have no information at this time
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaccers:
That's actually one of the reasons I'm waiting.

Oh why can't they just release a radio update in the meantime :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js931:
Hi all,

i've been using Juicedefender lately.

FYI, Juicedefender lets you toggle the data connection (3G or Wifi) based on certain conditions (screen off, timeout, traffic/time ...) and do periodic data syncs.

I did this because i found out that the data connection is one of the biggest battery drainers. I was right: With casual usage over the day, my battery life at least doubles!

But the Juicedefender app has a really terrible UI and all, so my suggestions is:

Why not integrate this functionality into some ROMs? This would greatly improve battery life and could be a really slick functionality!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koenvbeek:
Why should it be integrated? Custom roms are made to give the owners of a phone the choice to change their device. If the UI of juicedefender isn't very good, maybe someone could make another one.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js931:
... because this is a system functionality which could be integrated into a ROM much more elegantly than with a regular app, IMHO.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhypr:
Why would you integrate something that's based on personal preference? I'd hate it if my phone wouldn't sync my social media and mail when the screen is off.

It's common knowledge that the data connections are the biggest battery drainers by far, and there are plenty ways and apps that help you manage them already.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js931:
jesus people, calm down! i'm not saying that it should be FORCED on people or that i shouldn't be an optional flashable part.

but the available apps are only able to do it in a very rudimentary way (by changing the apn name to bull**** e.g.). i'm just saying that a nice ROM support for something like this would be great!

btw: you should try the periodic sync! do you REALLY need constant sync while the phone is in standby? if no - and you can live with syncs every few minutes - you will greatly improve your battery life!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Too51oll:
Disagree to your opinion about JD. UI is great for me. Maybe you don't know how to use it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blud7:
The part in bold highlights what peeps here who disagree with you are saying. Because you want this in a ROM doesn't mean everyone would. I for one would also want data sync in standby, never mind the battery drain.

I understand your point though, that it could be an alternate ROM or a flashable zip. But then why bother when, as mentioned above, there are a myriad of apps that already do this?

Maybe you should have a poll and if it's wanted enough, one of the ROM gurus will consider it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totovideo:
Try SuperPower if you don't like JuiceDefender. It does not use APN renaming and provides a lot of options (including 2G/3G switch which saves the battery even more than data)

(I cannot post links)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
JD UI is crap for sure. Switching to EDGE instead of 3G will improve your battery life by give or take 50%.

JD would be great if schedules would function properly, but since it causes issues with HTC mail for example, it is not an acceptable solution. I will not bash your idea since Desire HD has implementation of power saver in It's settings. No one forces you to use it even if it was implemented. Fcuk social networks, cellphones serve for you to be accessible. With battery life of about 10hrs, you aren't. Most of the time at least.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] que3jxp:
It is now a week since the JK4 update actually went live on KIES. Can we get a NEW poll to gauge how bad things REALLY are? There have been a number of people that reported back in after stating they were still fine on the poll only to sadly report that they are now dead.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
we already did see the general i9000 section sticky poll
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] que3jxp:
That is not quite what I meant. I know of that poll.

What I meant was can we not have a fresh one so that we can see the CURRENT state if we could all re-answer. You can only vote once on those polls/cannot change your answer (That I am aware of) so there are peoples answers in there that are no longer valid as their phones died only after they answered the poll.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordonx10i:
I've flashed using seus , and I want to install xrecovery so I used z4root to get root but when I try install xrecovery via the apk it fails an it fails on last 4 items "cp not found"

So yeah any ideas would be nice ,

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geraerb:
I also had the problem that some of the items could not be installed.

However when you try to reset and go into recovery, everything seems to work for me.

So just try to reboot and enter recovery (when screen turn back on, press the back button a few times).

Maybee it will work for you too.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vengeance1990:
I had 4 things missing but it still worked
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcoplo:
Not really!!

will gonne visable but the rubbish for example SU file in my case remain untouched so the phone was still rooted :D

hey guys

i've done a search on here and Google, but can't find an answer, i've also tried twice, with 2 different .zip files, but i can't get the Gingerbread Keyboard to work on my Desire.

i am on 2.2 (LeeDrOiD V2.2f), everytime i flash it via recovery (Clockwork Mod 2.5.0.7) my Desire will just stay on that pink circle, then reboot, then go back to the pink circle, the only way i can get past this, is to flash a rom.

any help would be great

Jerrol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R.ik:
The "going back to the pink circle''-part means your phone has ran into some kind of error and is rebooting (this is called a bootloop). This will happen until the error part is fixed (restoring a nandroid or flashing a new rom).

Are you sure your ROM is deodexed?

And are you sure the zip you're trying to flash is compatible with the Desire?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrol:
I'm not 100% sure if its deodexed, but I have flashed a .zip circle battery, and that's worked perfectly everytime, I did find a "how to get gingerbread keyboard on HTC Desire" thread somewhere on Google

[Epic 4G General] linkinincubus:
Coming from a Blackberry one of my favorite features is the "autotext" you can assign a single key on the keyboard to automatically type whole sentences for you. I've only been playing around with Andriod for a day or so now and haven't found a way to something like this yet. I'd like for it to work both with the physical keyboard and the software keyboards. Has anyone seen anything like this out there?
[Epic 4G General] sleebus.jones:
I haven't been able to find anything like that either, but I sure miss it. I first got introduced to it on my sidekick, so I could make u = you, r = are, y = why, etc. I could write like a skript kiddie, but still look normal when I wrote. I REALLY really miss those shortcuts. You'd think there'd be an app out for that by now. Maybe there is and I missed it.
[Epic 4G General] linkinincubus:
I don't know how i'm gonna be able to text with out nearly every letter on my keyboard was assigned to something. I found http://www.appbrain.com/app/firekeys-auto-text/com.webstandard.firekeys but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
[Epic 4G General] newdeepdan:
You can use "Smart Keyboard Pro", they have a built-in AutoText function that applies to both the physical and soft keyboards. Been using it since I switched over from the Blackberry as well.
[Epic 4G General] linkinincubus:
Thanks that sounds exactly like what we are looking for. Can you tell me how well the software keyboard compares to say the stock android one.

[G Tablet General] Frozen001:
Well I took the plunge and got a GPAD yesterday and like everyone on here said TNT and the factory ROM leave much to want. So I installed the VEGAn ROM and that combined with launcher pro, and I have a tablet I will most likely use every day. Couple of things like the presence of phone icons and settings I wish were not there, but I can live with that. I really wish Viewsonic listens and even ramps up code development. TNT should be removable, and what ever make the VEGAn ROM faster should be implimented by Viewsonic. Comparing this to the iPAD (Which my wife owns) I will take the viewsonic any day. I like the ability to add widgets to the home screen which allows me to make it useful for day to day use.

Couple of questions:

1) I have no WiFi at work, but was thinking if I could somehow use the USB port to act as a network interface, that would be nice. That way I can keep the calendar, email, etc. in sync. Is this possible?

2) I really would like a case for it, anyone found on that does not add much bulk, but will protect the screen and case?

3) I notice that Viewsonic on Twitter has said an update is coming soon. When this happens I assume a new vanilla ROM will be posted to see what changes were made. Going to the VEGAn rom I think I will miss the automatic updates, but if going back to the stock ROM means TNT and lack luster performance I will stay where I am.

It's cheaper and easy to buy wireless router at work and just use wifi on gtab.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
No auto updates in any of the mods (TnT Lite, zPAd, cm6.1, VEGAn). If there's an update in the next few days, I will be watching for it.
[G Tablet General] Frozen001:
WiFi is technically not allowed around here. I figured if I could just hook up the USB cable to my laptop and somehow share the laptop web connection that would be perfect.

I know back when I had a Palm M515 I could do this via the USB port and a PPP connection.
[Desire HD General] i00:
Occasionally the sd card un-mounts at random and i get a warning that my sd card has been unmounted - it has happened 3 times since i got my phone last Friday Its really annoying and i have to reset my phone to see it again (switching off and on with quick boot does not work).

Any ideas?

I am praying that it's the sd card and not the phone

Thanks in advance

Kris
[Desire HD General] ankhazam:
Don't start a new thread. This issue already has one thread earlier. According to all signs on the Sky and Earth the SD card is faulty <- best fix, get a replacement of the card (and try of course with a different card, this should fix the problem instantly).

MOD Edit: Could not say it better...

Thread closed :)
