[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cryolithic:
So about a month ago I installed doc's bell rom, and hadn't bothered setting up my hotmail and other accounts in the email app as I was going to flash to cyanogen.

Two days ago I was expecting an urgent mail to my hotmail, so I set it up with push notification, and suddenly my battery life is terrible again.

I tried changing it from push to once per hour, but that didn't help either. At 8pm tonight I was down to a sliver of battery, so I removed the account, and it lasted the rest of the evening.

Any reason anyone can think why it seems like the email client uses so much battery?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] maratonec5:
Hello. I have a Htc magic /MT3G 32A version, i think my operator got them from vodafone. i have a big problem with network functionality. The issue is as follows: if i load the original cupcake rom or rom update with senseUI, also version 1.5, radio, no matter which, works ok, the signal is stable, umts works. But if i put on a custom rom (official upgrades to 2.1 or 2.2 are not available), the phone starts to act weird. it happens on radio 3.22, 6.35, tried different versions of each. it happens on cyanogen, official ports, aosp... I get big signal holes, and when it changes from one antenna to another, signal goes out, let's say also for an hour or more, then suddenly it reappears. i also don't have connection in areas, where there surely is gsm coverage. Nothing helps when this happens, no reboot, no airplane mode, sim lock off... on original rom this problem doesn't occur. I also made a log on my phone during a long "blackout". What is wrong? Could some application or a process be causing this issue? if so, how can i find out which?

When i made this log, i was on cyanogen mod 6.1 stable, radio 3.22.20.17

I am using the Co0kie Home Tab v.2.0, on my HTC-HD2

How can I make the clock appear on every page (when I slide sideways)?

I m also interesting because i haven't found anything about this .....
[General Topics] dbzfanatic:
Can't you just add it as a widget or something? I'm not really familiar with it so I can't say for sure but ou wouldn't think it'd be that hard.
[General Topics] AthenaLod:
if you talking about the clock in CHT I have no idea. but if you are talking about the clock in the task bar, i think there is an option using advanced configuration tool for that.

[Nook Color General] Leo Carpi:
I'm just venting, but I've spent more than my fair share of time screwing with this thing, and in spite of having to play with cooked software, it's great - with two exceptions! This thing would be perfect it had: gps, mic, and bluetooth!

Okay forget the gps but the Mic and Bluetooth would have rocked! Okay, just the mic....man this thing is driving me so crazy! I can't use Skype! I just wish the executives at Barnes and Noble would have been a little more considerate of my needs when they built this thing!!! :p :D

I know what you do you want for $250....simple a mic!!! I would have paid $260!!:eek:

Merry Christmas!
[Nook Color General] rhoadkill:
Heh I agree that the lack of a microphone is troublesome.

I got the nook for the sole purpose to root and tinker with.

I knew what I bought, but still the lack of a mic is the one thing that is nagging me. But to use the nook as an XBMC remote is awesome, so I take comfort in that :)
[Nook Color General] norkoastal:
Instead of venting, why don't you donate to the NC teardown fund? :) Once a NC has been taken apart piece by piece, we may reveal the ability to activate bluetooth.
[Nook Color General] ruze:
Wonder if there's some way to write drivers to share my Android phone's mic/camera with the NC over wifi. I know there's a GPS over Bluetooth driver. Conceptually it should be possible to access devices over Wifi, just a matter of someone writing the software.
[Nook Color General] vendul:
i am falling in love with nook color and would buy it right know if it had 3g (gsm) module.

Do you guys think it is possible to have 3g in next version of nook color? i found on net that the chip the nook is running on is capable of 3g module (i think its the same chip the ipad is using), so i am wondering...or if the chip is capable of 3g, i read the donation and teardown forum, will it be possible to have it on this device?

sorry if off topic.. i am new to this forums :) thanks
[Nook Color General] captfoss:
There is a pretty thin line between unlocking functionality and stealing. Even if 3G could be unlocked, you'd need credentials from a carrier to use it. None of the carriers are going to allow you to register a hacked device on their network so the only way to get actual 3g would be to steal it...

Even if you happen to have a data plan from the correct company (Verizon, Id guess) you could use to login, carriers charge per device with access. Tethering is sort of a moral grey area, but I don't think this would be... it'd be stealing 3g from Verizon (or whoever).
[Nook Color General] vendul:
i see...i was more towards the option of BN making version of nook color with 3g, cause i can see what u ment with just allowing 3g.

thanks for reply, i will wait a bit maybe to see how things evolve...
[Nook Color General] focusfre4k:

[Nook Color General] norkoastal:
Priceless feature!
[Nook Color General] beerjs:
I saw a post that Bluetooth is coming with the Android 2.2 update in January - which will allow for audio books.
[Nook Color General] ColdH33t:
Occip got BT reenabled. Check the Development section for instructions if you're running Froyo.
[Nook Color General] infinityPlusOne:
Can you provide a link to that post? So far what I've heard is that B&N have an update for 2.2 planned but denied that it was being released in January. Also, I don't recall them saying squat about BT.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Yeah, where did you hear this? Sounds like an echo of a rumour of a wish to me.
[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
Careful with the wording... since at this point even Occip would not claim full success... he has verified that it is connected to power and the CPU.

(of course logic leads us to the conclusion that bluetooth will work since the hardware hurdles have been leapt)
[Nook Color General] rumitg2:
you realise that the nook color was made primarily as an Ebook reader right. there is no need for a mic on an ebook reader. also the nook was made for the public not for root happy techies. if it was built for us it would come with a stock rom ffc and all other android goodness
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Can you back that up with something better than "My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris enabling Bluetooth at B&N last night"?
[Nook Color General] mrschwarz:
Where did you hear that? Is it credible?
[Nook Color General] greenmky:
The 2.2 in January came from a retracted story at various sites - it was confirmed to be wrong several times on the forum here. B&N said 2.2 next year sometime...they're still pretty vague about it.
[Nook Color General] beerjs:
For what it is worth (should be as good as a my brother's girlfriend's mother's cousin's friend) - it was posted on the facebook/NookInColor group from BN. It should be somewhat reliable....
[Nook Color General] CalsNC:
I wouldn't count on anything for the NC. I wish, I rooted mine, but returned...

Calvin,

A couple of thoughts here:

1) The developer program where you've landed here is precisely to support the folks who are building such apps to enhance the user experience on the device

2) There are no plans to just throw open the doors on the device. Don't hold your breath for open access to the Android Market on the device...

Thanks for your interest.

Subject: word program

Will the NC ever be able to utilize a "word" type program to write, cut, and paste. This is such a great device and for BN to not forward this device to it's potential capability would be economically stupid. You open this device up it'll blow the ipad to the back shelf.

I have a NC and have till the end of Jan. to return...for me, if there seems to be no forward movement to 2.2 or other apps. I will return mine.

Hopefully you have the same thoughts from NC lovers, BTW it is a GREAT reading device...time to take it to another level!

[Nook Color General] rmccullough:
I understand what you are saying, but then why include a browser, pandora, music, facebook, or twitter apps?

I believe the true intent was for an entertainment device. e-Reading falls into that category, along with the other apps listed above.

I took a quick read of the first few posts in the BT thread and it sounds promising. My hope (like several others here) is that eventually a BT headset with mic can be connected.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SorenStirner:
Hello and merry xmass to everyone.

Here is my question. I'm going to chenge my devices soon, so I dewcided to take a brand new LG Optimus 7 to test the infamous WP7. I never had a proper android device, so I'm thinking about a cheeeeep 2nd hand device to play with the green thing.

The question is: can the HD2 be in the list with devices such as the Milestone/Droid, Nexus One and other former top range android devices?

As far as I can read (and it took me so long to read every single thread in the developement forum) the android experience in the HD2 is so close to the Desire HD that you can't almost notice the difference.

So... would you buy now and HD2 to use it as an android device full time?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] siunhanu:
not yet, there are many things (and time, of course) to do before Android on HD2 is close to Desire HD

if you love Android you should buy Desire HD
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hrockh:
that's exactly what I thinks as well

Or get the Nexus S and install the Cyanogen build

merry christmas
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SorenStirner:
Well... the DHD and the Galaxy S are not exactly cheep as they are the flagship devices in androind environment. Thay would make my ne LG O7 look like the secondo choice phone and took over as main phone.

I got 200 to 250eur left for an android toy, a 2nd hand Milestone should be the best choice for that range... better than an HD2 with android on it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raffozz:
Hi!

If you got 200-250e, yes, I could buy HD2 rather then milestone.. ;)

Merry Christmas
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dulexetina:
buy hd2,cause it can run multiple operatin systems already-imagine what will hapen in 3 months :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ddeathmetal:
#1 For HD2.........
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
I bought the HD2 second hand to run and test Android.

That is the one and only reason I bought it.

My situation might be a bit different as I have a E71 to do my calls with and the HD2 to toy with. Yes, that is right my HD2 has never ever made a useful phonecall. :eek:

I love it to bits but if I was only to have 1 phone I would go for a full native Android phone!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hd2life:
I don't see any problem with android on hd2, just don't install desire hd rom. Maybe in a few months even it will work perfectly. There isn't a cheaper and better android phone than hd2:cool:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] *Orbituser*:
to much battery drain, that is the main problem. also sometimes apps make problems with error messages. i made tests with several builds, but no build is for daily use.

the developers made a very good job, there is nothing to say against them.

but i think, if you want to use android for daily use then buy a desire or desire hd
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] anap40:
I haven't found a sense build that is as smooth as it should be, but I don't know how smooth it is on a EVO or DesireHD either.

Using JDMS everything works perfectly except:

1. USB transfer - there might be a way to fix this, i just use dropbox

2. Slow GPS lock time - it takes 2-3 minutes in android, in winmo it took about 15s

3. Battery drain high in standby if GPS is left on - so you have to turn it off then turn it back on when you want to use maps. (otherwise battery is about as good as I got with WinMo

Looking at the build this is really the only 3 problems I can find. Everything else is smooth as butter and extremely stable (haven't had a freeze or restart in about 10 days with it)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] papajohn:
The main problem right now is bettery consumption. The HD2 used to last two days with my usage pattern, with Android it's less than a day. Then speed is another issue: I haven't tried the latest RAM builds yet as they are really immature, but as is, the HD2 running DesireHD's Sense it damn slow.

That said, and given that you can find an HD2 for a very low price these days, I think it's a nice choice. I.e. an actual Desire HD consts 3 times the money. But don't expect a reliable phone that you can use daily with no problems. On the contrary, expect to try ROM after ROM and spend countless hours on XDA.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheiPhoneKiller:
i think battery drain isnt to much of an issue if you let it run flat at least once a week to recondition the battery.theres not much difference between this and my old Hero or my girlfriends desire when it comes to battery,dont forget it is a big phone with only a 1230mAh battery,a htc wilfire has 1300mAh,even in winmo battery is not great,it just depends how you use it and what your going to use it for,if you keep the clock speed at normal and reboot a few times it should stable out after a few days,I use android everyday now,never really used Winmo only as a backup wich is rarely,yeah you have to expect a thew lags here and there but having used it and compared with my girlfriends desire its on Par with that at the mo :D :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] siunhanu:
At this time, Android on HD2 is not 100% stable and the big problem still battery drain. If price is not your matter, you should buy DHD with 8 mpx camera, support 720p movie, 1.5gb rom, 768 MB RAM, 16M color.

and of course, if you think about a cheap phone with powerful performance, HD2 is the best choice
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] asctony:
The only concern I have with my HD2 running Android is the battery consumption. The battery only last almost a day. Other than that, I use strictly Android and have been doing so for months. I have been running without a reboot for over 11 days just to see how long I can go without a reboot. I normally reboot at least once a week just to clean up my phone. Android is the only way to go for me. Have tried all OS except BlackBerry. Android in MHO is the best. Happy Holidays!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] toeknee0506:
My first concern when purchasing a phone was the price to performance ration. How much bang for the buck are you actually getting? In my case, I got my HD2 for free (not refurb), so I would have to say it was well worth all the lil tweaks and bugs here and there to run Android. I would have gotten it even if android was stock on it. I've had WinMo for way to long. Happy Holidays!

Ps, yes the battery drain is an issue, but it is true on how you use it and for what. If your like me, your on your phone a lotttttt, and 10-12 hours is a good length. Plus I'm not far from a charger most of the time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SorenStirner:
Tnx all for your opinions. Though I read a lot of different experiences and feedbacks and I really can not understand if the HD2 can be a good replacement for a native android device.

I might add this: as I'm pretty new to android, the market should be my playground. I'm also trying to learn some Java coding on Ubuntu environment (keeping my Silverlight SDK in the Win7 partition for the LG O7). Would the HD2@android be an hand brake? Should I get a Nexus/Milestone instead to test my experiments and the apps to avoid software issues?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aenedor:
We bought a HD2 for our Son as a joint Christmas & birthday present with the sole intention of installing Android.

I left it as late as possible and then installed MDJ's Desire HD 4.6 after reading the many positive posts.

He has been playing Dungeon Defenders on it today.

Phone plus 16 gig class 6 microSD card came in at £250.

Lots of bangs for your bucks.

(EDIT: been running Android on my HD2 since June thanks to the guys and gals at XDA Devs)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SorenStirner:
Really impressive! Can you please tell me the avarage usage of you HD2@android and its battery life? Do you use it as main phone (calling texting mailing googling marketing etc) or it's a backup/toy phone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ei05035:
Quite honestly, being a developer myself, i was worried about this as well. However, i successfully developed a 3D app using opengl java wrapper , capable of loading .OBJ files and using the compass/accelerometer as well as bluetooth. It runs quite well in my HD2 (running MDJ's Desire HD 4.6 build). Deployment is easy and you won't encounter any issue. So yeah, i developed for WinMo and Android using the same device. Hope i'll be able to say the samething when it comes to WP7...

[Q] Installing Radios?

Every time I attempt to install radio 2.15.50.... I get a error message saying connect the phone to the cradle or USB port when its already plugged in. Can anyone help me out?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SorenStirner:
Nothing else to add, just wandering if the WM6.5-Android-WP7 definetive device can be at his top in all environments: WM6.5 lack on multitouch and will be soon permanently forgotten by apps developpers (while rom cheif definetly will work on it for longer), Android on SD is a constant work in progress and I dont know if the NAND version will bring the HD2@Android experience into another level; personally I wont spend bucks on an HD2 looking for WP7 on it (that's why I got an LG O7) but of curse it should be cool (WP7 full operative, without the acces to the cloud as it is by now it's pretty useless).

So the HD2 can be a cheep android phone candidate? (2nd hand devices such as HD2, Milestone and nexus one and other snapdragons got the same price)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pokerfreakje:
dis-agree,

if you don't play games, use a lot of 3g network, play a lot of music, then the android build still go along, BUT like the most of us, WE USE android specific for those things. and that's why the battery is the main problem

a friend of mine, got the desire hd, he claims that his battery also goes for like 1 day when he is watching films listen to music ect..

so it wont matter, if he buys the desire hd or hd2 for android...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] knothead:
I think its a fine android device. I am using HD2ONE 3.6 and have no problems what so ever. I use Chuckydroidrom, and the latest tmo radio.

I moved here form a G1 with the radio ram and CM6.1 285 nightly. The HD2 is teh flip side for speed, same stability, battery life is better on the HD as well.

Id do it again in a heartbeat.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matyoka:
Orbit,

Seems that you didn't find a good ROM yet. I have been running my Android on the HD2 without any problems for a full months now. All the Android Aps from the market are functional and even the Swype keyboard is working without any hiccups. I guess the key is to use a basic Win rom like Chucky-droid and go from there. The battery could be better however I was able to watch a whole movie on a flight with 50% battery still remaining after being done. I believe that besides the Video camera not functioning at 720p (YET) the HD2 is the perfect Android phone. My .2 cents...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jaikben22:
I have a milestone and hd2, hd2 beats milestone. I have 2.2 mod on milestone and battery drain is as bad as a good hd2 Android build. Besides that a good preformance have better performance overall then the milestone. so clear winner hd2. Wanna buy a milestone :) pm me
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SorenStirner:
That's the answer I was waiting for :D and nop, I dont want to buy a milestone anymore :p

Guess what? Let's see if a Galaxy S-Nexus S/HD2@android user can tell me the same (btw superamoled rocks even when compared to her majesty 4,3")
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jaikben22:
My brother has a galaxy s, and the short time I played with it, it seems better then the hd2, not worth the money as in a few months we will have tegra2 devices lol
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
I've been using Android full-time for two months, and I use the heck out of it (movie playback, ebooks, games, browsing/playing network files, media PC remote, Exchange email, normal email, Playstation emulator... The list goes on. It works flawlessly, I never encounter any speed/instability issues, and if my phone broke I would definitely replace it with another HD2 (a Desire if money was no object I guess, especially for HDMI-out)...

Battery-life wise, I bought the extended batter for £40 and it's a must-have IMO. It looks nice-ish, I love th kick-stand, and I think the phone sits in your hand better. And I get a good 36 hours of life out of it, using it pretty heavily. If I was not touching it all the time I'd get two days from it. Definitely good Bang for your Bucks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] akbisw:
Here is my take. Im a student so I only put out $300 for HD2 7 months ago seeing the development for Android. Now It is PERFECT. I bought Extended Slim Battery from ebay which adds about half of phones width(1.5x hd2 width). Then I installed the latest radio and Windows Rom VBN and Put Mdeejay 4.6 Build in it I GET 1.5 days worth of SUPER HEAVY USE(I download 720p trailers in mov format to show off to friends and play in rockplayer on a daily basis). Also use it as a deskclock on my own built nightstand(woodtech class). With the Htc sense integretion I have all the facebooks friends number on my phone so people come to me first to get somebody else's number. also the big screen allows excellent gaming on it.(thank gameloft for the 10 new HD games this christmas). I have checked out LG ally(poor), Samsung Moment(Poor), Droid original(Underpowered), Moto Droid 2(HTC beats its skin hands down). Also given the fact that I dont use data connection saving me 30 bucks a month or so. Again you can put sense in droid but with HD2 you can overclock it to 1.5ghz. so good luck.
