I have to change the language on the help, because when it did appear in my battery use stats it was always about the same as Cell Standby, which didn't seem to make sense, I should have grabbed Izkata's app (and will now) to check battery usage. It is important to turn off when you don't anticipate needing it.

On the Desire HD & EVO, I have no idea why ATM, but will look into it over the next 24hrs. I did test it on an HTC myTouch 3G and it worked.

If either of you get a chance, could you post OS version / API level and any mods?

Thanks for checking it out.

-Phil
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
Yey, thanks ;)

It's not the best thing for measuring usage like this, though. To get the numbers in my previous post, I just recorded the percent before and after, and manually divided. 'Tho you can see in the History graph when it drops faster, so that helps.

Android 2.1-update1 / API 7, rooted, but with no mods.
[Android Apps and Games] thunderskain:
When screen is on, it works alright. But when screen turned off, no response from the app. Great idea though. I'm using a wildfire btw..
[Android Apps and Games] upperTriangle:
To those of you for whom the app doesn't work when the screen is off, this is an Android bug affecting certain phones. I believe it is a problem (be it a feature whereby the manufacturer is trying improve battery usage profile, or a bug) with the firmware. The HTC phones with Sense UI seem to be among the more commonly afflicted devices.

I remember seeing this bug report I started working on the app:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3708

BUT by the time it was getting close to done, my impression was that this had basically been fixed, and I didn't mention it anywhere in the release, none of the phones I tested on had this problem.

Now, there is another newer Android bug report regarding this issue, please STAR it (upper left of page)

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11028

and hopefully we will see more rapid resolution of this issue, I think the OS isn't the problem, but perhaps manufacturer firmware updates could help resolve it.

Please don't leave negative comments on the Market if the app doesn't work with the screen off. Because of users doing this (which I should have seen coming) my star rating is started to go down. I have included language on the Market entry which should prevent people from giving the app a low rating solely because of this issue.

Lastly, there is a workaround of sorts for this which will fix the problem on some phones. I will implement it, but am going to proceed very cautiously, because last thing I want to do is break the app for users for whom it is currently functioning appropriately.

As such, I would really appreciate it if people who are experiencing this issue would beta test a new release with the workaround prior to my releasing it on the market.

So drummer2780,Testuser_01,thunderskain, ADeadlySpoon(?) ... if any of you would be so kind as to receive an APK file from me for testing on your device, in return I'll try to somehow get you the full version gratis of course (how we'll do that I'm not sure as I don't want an APK with licensing disabled floating around out there!, perhaps you can buy it from the Market and I'll refund the payment)

Izkata, for your help I'd like to do the same (give you free version) so if you buy it I will refund. I don't *think* a refund will invalidate the licensing, but I'm not sure, it is unclear from the Google distribution agreement language.

Thanks for checking out my app, I'm hoping people are finding it useful!
[Android Apps and Games] upperTriangle:
Since you are using it at a pretty sensitive setting:

Go to settings->overall sensitivity and select "Make more sensitive" and you'll find you can be a little more in the middle of the range and will have better precision for where you'd like the trigger to be, of course set it back if you want to use it and you're being more active.

-Phil
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
Since we both have a paid version of an app out, we could just do a "trade" and buy each others' apps, assuming you haven't already. The difference in pricing is small enough that I wouldn't really worry about it. Or we could try out the refund idea, then have experience to advise others in the future ;) (I haven't bought haptiClock yet, and might not for a while - various stuff going on IRL)

I'll take another look at the setting(s) eventually, and try and remember to post my comparisons in this thread once I do. (However, I'm starting a new job this week and don't want to mess with stuff/might not have time to mess with stuff until next weekend)
[Android Apps and Games] SamUserInterface:
Great app! I've been looking for an app that did this for a really long time.

I was thinking though. The vibrate system's a little confusing, and I don't really need to know the exact time. Usually I only need to know it to the closest 15 minutes. Perhaps you could set toggles for the 10/15 minute vibe, the 5 minute vibe, and the 1 minute vibe?
[Android Apps and Games] upperTriangle:
There is a setting which allows you to only receive the 10/15 vibe (at least it requires an add'l tap to get the exact minute)... but I do like your idea of being able to specifically set where to stop. It would be a fairly extensive task for me to implement, as I basically have it set up to do just to the minute, or require add'l tap. We'll see how it goes, I can't say I'm going to be spending a bunch more time on this thing unless it attracts more users.

Thanks for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] kirkla79:
Doesn't work with the screen off on the dell streak running dj steves 1.6.0 froyo ROM. Would definetly be interested in buying when (if) it can.
[Android Apps and Games] upperTriangle:
Well, it looks like all workarounds I've tried for phones which don't respond to the sensor when the screen is off (in standby mode) have failed. This is likely a firmware issue which ought to be addressed by the manufacturer. The code should run the same on all devices, this is the point of Android!

Given that it works on most phones, it is a "bug" or "defect".

Please take a moment to star the issue at code.google:

Issue 11028

Also, contact your phones manufacturer (:rolleyes: HTC) regarding this issue.

I think there are lots of possibilities here and hopefully it will get fixed because there are similar apps I'm creating which rely on the accelerometer working in standby as I've implemented in haptiClock.

Thanks

"Makes your screen turn off like an old TV tube when you press the sleep button. I got a Google Nexus S and noticed it has this cool effect when you turn it off, so I immediately worked on bringing the feature to the iPhone and 3 hours later it was finished. Watch the video of it in action below.

You can either wait for HTC to update your phone to Gingerbread or you can root and run CM 7 which already has this effect for screen off and screen on.

Bloody hell that sounds bad, is this will all Chinese Desire HDs then? It's almost like one of those knock-off phones although you have purchased it genuinely. Don't know how things work in China but if you cant root it then give HTC a call and demand a replacement from Europe/America.

if you really cant give the phone back, try to sell it.

It should in theory work. I'm not sure you need root access to just flash a ROM from a different region. I did it on my previous Desire which I got from Hong Kong. Flashed a WWE ROM when Froyo was released.

The problem is with Google, not China or HTC. Just like most of the 3rd world countries can't buy anything on the Android Marketplace (nevermind that fact that we cant even develop a paid app to publish on the market).

hey there,

after reading your messages through this morning and everything, you should be able to flash a WWE Rom using this guide --> here <--

i hope this helps you liberate your DHD, if you need any help with this guide let me know ill guide you through :)

its the goldcard method.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
Yep, try the goldcard method. If it works you'll get a WWE Desire HD. Not sure you need to do all these. You might just try to create a goldcard, have it in your phone, and just run any WWE RUU you want. I'd stay away from the 1.72 one as it seems to be causing alot of problems. However you might not be able to buy apps from the market since buying paid apps from the market is not possible from China. See http://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=143779 .
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
well there is a liberated market somewhere on the forums for DHD ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10scientist:

I think you really should gain root access to your device and flash a customised ROM on it, in *should* solve your problem. though you probably want to have a backup before you do so
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
To be honest scientist, i wish you read earliar :-) he cant root a 1. 75 rom. So he'll have to use the goldcard method
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
His best option is as suggested by flo. Just hours ago a method has been released which will allow him to downgrade to the wwe stock rom 1.32 version. From there he can root and install a custom rom, or if preferred simply keep it at stock and update it to wwe 1.72 version. As far as market restrictions go it is possible to use "market enabler" hacks to allow paid access to the market anywhere.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] directive:
This sounds like good news!

Yesterday when I wrote the original reply I was kind of drunk and it was 6am I think so I'm just rewriting the entire reply. For all it shortcomings when it comes to smartphones, China do have a lot of opportunities for people (like me) who want to stay out all night singing karaoke and eating popcorn. Anyway, I think the best approach, instead of asking any of you to hold my hand through this is that I just post what I think I should do and then you can tell me if I'm way off target.

Is this correct?

Step 1 - making a goldcard

I think you are saying that I need to make a goldcard and for that I follow the 'creating a goldcard' over at modaco.com. It looks quite straightforward so I don't think this will be a problem. However, I need to venture out into China and find a real SDcard with an adapter (guess I'm heading over to BestBuy again)

Question:

In the downgrading thread it says to "Use MMC2!!", what does that mean?

Step 2 - Downgrading

I've extracted the downgrade folder conveniently to d:\downgrade and will open cmd and type inn all the commands I have no idea what actually does (I'm used to this :P). Then I will look for "#" and proceed. I will copy PD98IMG.zip to the goldcard and hopefully there will be some instructions of some kind that I can follow.

Step 3 - profit?

If all this works what should I do next? Or more, where am I? What will happen after this? Do I have a stock rom now? And can I just stop there and update the rom and be happy? I do plan to root my device some time later, but for now I will be more than super happy just to have a wwe stock rom with no root, fully updated with the android market. Am I far off?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] directive:
Success! Got myself a goldcard!

Now what do I do with it? (for real, it's not really clear in any of the guides what I should do with the goldcard microSD). Do I put it into the phone?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexta211:
Yes, you would need to put it into the phone and download a WWE RUU (I use Shipped Roms for this (DHD Codename is the "Ace")) then ensure the DHD Drivers are installed on your PC (HTC Sync) then connect the phone to the PC and run the RUU. Then just follow the on screen instructions.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] directive:
The Chinese devil has been purged from my desire HD! Thank you thank you thank you oh lord I love you thanks thanks holy hooray!!!

One question, does my phone now have this rom permanently? Will factory resetting it bring back the Chinese or the wwe rom? (and how could I eventually change this?)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leppie:
If you flashed with WWE RUU, it will stay WWE after factory reset.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] directive:
Haha alright! Im so happy right now :) thanks to everyone!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
Good to hear :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexta211:
Glad we could help! No matter what you do now (barring re-installing the chinese ROM lol) its a WWE phone now!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yes_to_all:
Hi all,

Apologies for digging this up, I'm pretty new to all of this. Please bear with me :D

I also have the Chinese devil on my DHD.... I'm not saying it is making my life miserable (I got Facebook to work, so hey, life! I'm back!) but I wish this nonsense HTC Market app would just disappear and be replaced by a real Market app.

And I would really appreciate it if certain apps would stop crashing during installation (foursquare? no chance! twitter app? let's forget about this one, too :mad:) and that all of these chinese social network apps would disappear, too. I cannot even add a HTC Sense account. Ignore the fact that China isn't even listed on their website.

Anyway, I think my phone is about the same as directive's:

Android version: 2.2.1

Build number: 1.75.1400.4 CL 303327 release-keys

Software number 1.0.0.A9191

So here's my question:

I'm pretty sure that I don't want my phone to be Chinese any longer so I guess getting the WWE RUU would also work for me..?

What about making a Gold Card? I read that is only necessary if my phone is branded (which I don't think it is - can I find it out somehow? I bought it in a regular shop and it wasn't bound to any mobile network operator. I'm using China Unicom 3G if that matters.)

If I don't have to make a Gold Card I can simply proceed with this guide. I only have a Mac, but the phone works fine if I attach the USB cable.

What if something goes wrong? Any way to restore the Chinese version? I'm a bit hesitating because it is not like I'm a geek... I may know a thing or two but definitely not enough to solve any possible problem by myself.

What would you suggest? Should I just wait until the root is released?

(I don't necessarily want to buy anything from the app market, I just want to get rid of these stupid restrictions on what to install. Oh and I'm tired of always looking for .apk files to directly copy to my phone and then find out they don't work.)

Thanks!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
I think your ROM is branded since your version is 1.75 not 1.72. So I think you should PM the thread OP about a step-by-step guide. I haven't used a goldcard but since your problem is he same as the OP's there is a solution and you'll get an unbranded phone soon!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] directive:
Yes, a goldcard worked!

I think the chinese phones act just like a branded phone and you should just treat it as if it were one. If any guide mentiones branded phones, that's you!

However, after downgrading with a goldcard I updated the phone with my new international ROM, and suddenly my wi-fi went offline... (it says 'error'). I am in the process of downgrading AGAIN, will let you know how it goes, and if I am able to update this time around. So, maybe just downgrade and get all the goodies and the real market, and wait for a solution to this before you update. It is very liberating to have a phone free of the chinese devil

[Desire HD General] avenge the rage:
Hello all, I have had my phone since Nov, but since having it I have had a case on it from eBay, but have seen that paint is wearing off on the edge, anyone else have the same problem?
[Desire HD General] Yoshi_523:
I've only had my phone a few days but I've been looking at cases on ebay after trolling through reviews... Is there any chance the case could have caused the paint to ware off like some kind of chemical reaction form bad materials ect in the case reacting? Or is the wear obviously in a place that's not protected by the case?

Any info on what case you have especially if you think you've found it's not a good case to protect my Desire HD is much appreciated!
[Desire HD General] avenge the rage:
Hey, I think its from the case just being on it because its the front next to the screen. It's one I got from eBay for like £2. It a gel case thing.
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
Without having specific awareness of that case, I can say that it is quite possible for this to happen if you think about the chemicals that are used in such products. This might be the difference of a better quality and hence expensive product vs a cheap Chinese replica (not mean to say that all China products are bad since all of them are manufactured there anyway).

After seeing what happened to my car's console when it came in contact with the liquid car aromatic (melted like butter), I am not excited at all from what you mention here.
[Desire HD General] avenge the rage:
Like I say above I think it more to do with the design rather than the chemical reaction as it is only on the corner. I will try get some pics up but will be hard
