[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] doggystyleid:
what @weirder post is the true fact about the lithium ion charge process. your charging method is called bump charging. but that way of charging the juice wear off the battery life sooner than normal charging..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
I've been checking out the battery meter source code, and I think the battery level is calculated *only* from the battery voltage. Which is quite inaccurate, compared to laptop batteries which keep track of the charge, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] underv0ltage:
This could be improved by using its temperature. Since the SoC is a function of temperature, charge history, and current evolution over the time.

[[]]
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neoxyrel:
I tried the bump charging till the meter says 100% and right after unplugging from the charger the meter reads 98%. I let the battery drain up to 96% and connected my phone into a usb port of my PC and when the meter say its 100% charged, i disconnected the phone from the usb port and wallah...it stays at 100% charged and it has been at 100% even after 15 minutes...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
I really don't recommend bump charging. You risk damaging your battery by overcharging. Or worse, making it blow up due to overcharging! I know it sounds paranoid but you never know...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] reloadxero:
My SD card is full and i need some space. Would it harm the rom or anything that makes the rom work, if i delete the update.zip? and there is also a file named sappimg.nbh that uses too much space. should i delete these files?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
If you remove those files then your eyes will suck into the back of your head and your you will swallow your own tongue after vomiting maggots. Then space/time would end as we know it!

Nah... just kidding. It's fine to remove them because you can always download them again later if need be. You might just want to back them up on your computer.
[Vega General] Schooleydoo:
On a few occasions now I have plugged it in to charge overnight, to find that it has not charged, or only part charged. The LED starts blinking as it should, but the next morning it is still blinking and only gone up, say 10%.

Also on occasion, I plug it in to charge and although the LED blinks, the battery icon does not change to reflect that it is now charging.

Has anyone else had similar problems or, as I suspect, do I have a defective unit?
[Vega General] Lennyuk:
I have only charged and walked away from my device once (that I can remember) and for whatever reason it either failed to charge or was just charging stupidly slow. I ended up unplugging booting the device and plugging it back in again where it proceeded to charge normally.

Not sure if this is similar to what you describe but it is a strange behaviour while charging even if I have only come across it once so far.
[Vega General] Schooleydoo:
Well, there's not much chance of getting a replacement any time soon, so I will just cross my fingers that it needs "running in". Will try rebooting also.

Thanks.
[Vega General] orlok:
There are reports of this issue happening, indeed its just happened to me!

Youre not alone and afaik its not a defective device. If i find more info ill let you know

[Vega General] TubbyHamster:
I can only charge mine effectively if I turn the Vega off, if not if charges for a while but then the light just goes out. If the Vega is off it charges fine.

There has been a lot of talk about the sub-standard chargers over at MoDaCo, I keep meaning to try and get a new regulated charger from somewhere and try that.

Maybe this weekend. :)
[Vega General] Schooleydoo:
Well spotted, now I turn it off before plugging it in, it works fine.

Another annoyance is my screen brightness reverting to default after every boot. I have to go into settings and although the adjustment bar is at max, have to re-set it to max for it to apply. Anyone else?!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forcedv:
This might be a noob question, but I can't find an answer yet from the search.

How can I download an app from the Android Market *BUT* prevent auto installation, so I have just the .apk (to install later or on another device)?

You could try download exit then search for the downloaded apk .

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] themegastar1:
Hello Friends,

I have a question for all of the mobile developers. You might think I'm Joking. But its Serious. Is there any way to run android apps(2.1-2.3) in HTC HD2(Leo) which is running Windows Mobile? Many People Say 'NO'. But emulation of any OS is possible. We all thought that we can run PS2 games only on Sony Playstation 2 but we were proved wrong by PCSX2 by launching first PS2 Emulator. So I want to know is there any emulator by which I can run android apps on my HTC HD2? Its difficult but I think XDA Developers can make this type of emulators. It will also help thousands of people. I am an IT Professional and a software developer(Windows) but i don't know about developing apps for mobile. Otherwise would have made/wrote android apps in WM language/scripts. Some News also came that there are certain Converters which can convert Android Apps into J2ME or WM apps. I need a solution to this problem.

Regards,

Arun

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I believe there was originally an Android emulator running on WM, but it was slooooooooow!!! There's a whole slew of reasons as to why an Android emulator won't run well on WM, memory being the obvious main one. That's why Android ports were developed to run off the SD card, first dumping Windows from the memory and then running Linux.

Depending on your development experience, you may want to look into programming for Android anyway, if that's where your interest lies. If you've done anything like C# (or other .Net based language like VB.Net) then it's not that big a leap. If you've already done Java development then it's really not a problem - you just need to learn the Android SDK.

If you are intersted, have a look at the following tutorial...

http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html

It's a great starting point for Android development. It walks you through setting up the dev environment and then a few simple apps to get you going. Any OO experience you have will definitely help. (It may actually prove difficult without it - I can't say for sure.)

Hope this helps :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KrewsialNL:
I just did a search on your question. And from all the sites i've seen they all come up with the same answer: "no"

The two systems are too far apart from each other to be able to 'port' or emulate it apparently.

At least, this is what i found. Maybe some others might have more luck.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] themegastar1:
Problem still Not Resolved.

I read both of Your Comments, but still problem is not resolved. johncmolyneux you have told me that there is an emulator(Slow ones), can u tell me the name of that emulator? And I don't want to install android. I have given thanks to you both, but still My problem is not resolved. I need a way to run android apps on wm 6.5.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
It was about 8-9 months ago so no, I'm afraid don't know the name, but it was on xda so you can search the forum for it.

Let me put it clearly though. The emulator was so slow that it was immediately dropped and no-one ever used it. It's basically Windows, running a Linux emulator, running Android. It was terrible and unusable.

Why is it imperative that you run Android apps on WM? If you explain then maybe we can understand more and hopefully offer more constructive help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] themegastar1:
Why I want to run Android Apps on WM.

The Reason for this is- I need Google Goggles for my HD2 and some other apps too. But Windows Mobile Technology is Better, Easy to Use and Expensive. And HTC offers HTC Sense along with HD2 which makes it more easy to use and attractive too. These all things are not possible by using Android. But Android has a big App Marketplace. This is the reason why I want to run android apps in WM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Okay, I'll make it very clear then. You

will not

get this. The only solutions available are to find a version of google goggles on WM (not likely), or to run Android on your phone.

You can run it from the SD card, but it does mean a restart every time you want to switch from WM to Android and then back again.

Also, there are many Android builds available that include HTC Sense. There's some very nice Desire HD builds out there.

Sorry to give bad news, but you are not going to get what you're asking for.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] themegastar1:
OK! Necessity leads to invention!

Ya, but still, IF I make something then the problem will be resolved. I'm thinking to make Android Emulator in this Summer(May-June 2011). If I made it, then it will be good for all WM users, so nobody will switch to Android to get all apps. Anyway, johncmolyneux thanks for your efforts. By the way, Which Phone you are using. And with which OS(WM/Android/Bada/Ubuntu/S40/S60/Symbian 3rd Edition or any other) you are using? Necessity leads to invention!

Well good luck with that mate - I think you'll need it ;)

I'm using a Nexus One Gingerbread ROM at the minute. It's fast and stable - everything works just like a native Android device!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
You do realize that you can boot into Android from Windows mobile on your hd2. That way you have winmo still on your phone, and when you need to use Android, you can use haret.exe to boot into an Android build running from the SD card. You have to restart the phone to get back into Windows mobile, but that only takes a minute or 2. And it only takes a minute to boot into Android. This way you can run both OS's on your hd2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pedroxxx:
Excelent example of high achievment goal.

So what you need?

Remapping all Android API to WM API with necessary additional functionality, so running whole Android emulator will be not necessary. This will save memory and gain some speed.

Similar to already known solutions on Linux platform which can run Windows applications on several platforms like winehq.org.

How much effort will be necessary?

Depends on which applications area that has to be covered.

Depends on knowledges about both operating systems.

Depends on accessibility to source code of the system and the applications which supposed to run with this framework.

Is summer vacations enough?

Future will reveal, but if you really are genius, please turn to good side :-)

So this project will be definitely something which people will pay for, those who has WM favorites programs and are not willing to change the whole system to run some new.

Anyway aplications will be maybe running, but most of them will miss the stability and advantages of the Android operating system.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] themegastar1:
I think I got some of the Ideas, I have to Create a platform build on Windows Mobile with the help of WM API, it will require Android SDK too. If I will create an app that has the compatibility of Android, I could name it as Emulator. Means just another platform running on a OS.

Hi,

Thanks, I've been running the Darkstone rom since yesterday lunchtime and have got it all set-up and it seems to be charging ok too without having switched off once which is great, so thanks to everyone that has worked on that.

One further question though, concerning the 'genie' is it, news and weather widget which doesn't seem to be included on this build, can i get it for the 2.2.1 build as I found it very useful?

Thanks again

MM

p.s. the battery only seems to charge to 95% any ideas?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KrewsialNL:
Since that can't be a NAND Rom, i suggest you boot your phone into WinMO and charge the battery to 100% there, and restart. Then your problem will be solved in regards to the battery.

On the other question, sorry, I have no idea how that genie widget can be obtained :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I can't promise this will work, but here's the widget as from my System\App folder.

Hope it works for you mate :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MandrakeMan:
Thanks for your help guys. I'll try the battery charge on Win Mo 6.5.

I've tried the APK file johncmolyneux kindly gave but no joy, it comes up as 'could not open...' :-(

I tried that too, thanks for the links but same thing, it just doesn't want to work. This one did install ok but just gives a 'force close' if i try and open it.

It does say for 2.1, and this DS build is 2.2(?), is there an issue because of that?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I doubt that's an issue, as 2.2 is compatible with 2.1 apps. Don't know what the problem is, but it looks like you're gonna have to go without.

I use it too, so I know your pain. A few SD builds I used didn't have it, so I was really pleased when I found it on my current builds.

I never did find a suitable replacement either. :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MandrakeMan:
Hey JohnC, thanks for your replies. Which build are you running?

[Desire HD General] mwatson:
Load up the people widget.

It'll ask you to select a profile like favourite, co-worked or similar. Select favourite for now. Add someone to that fovourite prifile by pressing the + button on the bottom of the widget.

Now that person is stuck as a favourite forever. There is noting you can do to remove them. If go into the details for that person it will say Group = favourites. Go to edit the contact to remove them from the group and you won't have the option.

Sense 1.72 is one buggy bit of software! That with my SD card dismounting every five minutes, weather not updating my location and the sms bug, i kinda wish i hadn't upgraded.

(Note to self, only upgrade a month after release after keeping an eye on this forum)
[Desire HD General] off centre:
Yeah I noticed that "feature" in the People widget too. Which is why after about the first two minutes of using it I decided that the People widget is useless and removed it from my desktop.

It amazes me how such a basic feature as removing a contact could be missed by the HTC developers. Almost as bad as making a top-end phone and then deciding to put an arse-end speaker in it.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
Totally not true. You need to 'click' on the person's name (not the picture) then it brings the contact card and on the bottom you have 'edit contact'. Select that and then just edit the group by selecting 'favorites'. Easy as that.

Oh, and by the way - Sense rules :D .
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
This is true. Under edit contact you can change their group affiliation.
[Desire HD General] mwatson:
Thats my point, editing it doesn't work. despite removing a contact from a group, it will still appear in the widget even though you have deleted them from the group. Try it...
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Pick the widget up and drop it on the edit box, the one next to the remove box. Now tap favourites. Job done. I admit its not the most intuitive way of doing things but the functionality isn't missing as you claim.

Sent from my performance enhanced Desire HD.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
I did and it works as it is supposed to. Removes the contact from the widget the moment it's removed from the favorites group. BTW I use the widget with the grid positioned contacts (the first one)

Edit: maybe you have uninstalled something from the preloaded HTC software or disabled something. The widget works.
[Desire HD General] leppie:
Make sure you are not editing a linked contact, that has happened to me before.
[Desire HD General] ladyhaly:
It won't work if you do it like that. What you need to do is go to the People app, go the Groups tab/column (for me it's on the right of the individual contacts tab), go to Favorites, touch Menu, select "Delete group member" and then mark the group member you wish to remove. Confirm and then it'll effectively delete the said group member from the list and the People widget.

I have Android version 2.2.1, updated on December 23. I live in the Philippines but I believe my Desire HD is from Spain as even the box and the Manual is in Spanish and I got the update for 2.2.1.

I use the widget with the grid contacts taking up one homescreen. =) And no, I think he's just... confused. I mean, I guess there is a bug but I seriously have not thought of doing it his way and the contact is certainly not stuck forever as a Favorites member. :P
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
No, I do it exactly the way he describes with one exception - it works. I think he can't figure out how to remove someone from a group. He just needs to unselect the favorites group. HTC Sense gives you the option for one contact to be in several groups (which is great), and so there is no option 'none' in group selection menu.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I too don't have any issues with this feature. All I have to do is select a new group or none.

Cheers from my DHD.

Hi, I have this problem.

I've just changed my rom to AuraxTSense. After installing, its unable to detect/read my sd card (no problem reading sdcard in recovery though). Tried reinstalling the rom and i got this error when i do a wipe data/factory reset.

E:Can't mount /dev/blocl/mmcblk0p2 (File Exists)

Would appreciate if anyone enlighten me. I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7, Rom AuraxTSense 8.2.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaboleo:
I may have the same problem. :o

But I can't even read the SDcard in recovery...e.g. via "choose zip from sd" :(

What can I do?

edit:

Ok, I think I solved it for my case...

I could boot into the Rom itself, but didn't have any access on the sdcard (it wasn't even recognised by the system). I tried to connect the phone via USB, but nothing happend. By reading through the "USB brick" threads here on xda, I found out that a not accessible sdcard can't be activated by entering "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" via adb shell.

It worked and the shell responded to the command with an "okay" and displayed the duration of the execution. But I still had no access to the sdcard :(

After hours of reading and trying I somewhere found a post that advised to simply clean the contacts of the sdcard! At first it sounded to me like some hanky-panky "trick" like (blowing in the slot of the old Gameboy ;)). Nevertheless IT WORKED :D

I booted the phone into hboot (vol. down + power), initially on my way to recovery, and it kind of aautomatically recognised an sdcard, showing the following (step-by-step):

SD Checking...
Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]
NO Image!
Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]
No Image or wrong Image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.zip]
No Image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.nbh]
No Image or wrong Image!

(I think it's the routine that checks for a PB99IMG, the stock rom/RUU, which would be installed if there was no rom installed or the rom corrupted.)

At first I couldn't believe my eyes, but being able to browse the sdcard again in recovery ("choose zip from sd") was the verification :) sdcard is working again.

So I booted up the phone (took extremely long) and my sdcard was mounted correctly and all the apps, on my ext3 for a2sd were back, too. :)

And it was no longer "usb-bricked". Without flashing the "usb brick fix" I could connect to my computer via usb. (I'm not sure if it really was usb bricked or if this function was just blocked by the unmountable sdcard...)

Maybe this is a help for you, too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakern:
Thanks for the tip. Sadly not the case for me.
