Hello all,

My wife and i just opted for this free wifi service in NYC that is associated with our cable company Optimum Online. Yesterday i used this free service and connected to this Optimum Wifi spot, it awesome.... used it on my phone N1 and Gtab. Today i attempted to use a not Optimum wifi hotspot and i got this message .

http://memberservices.optonline.net/garden/wgn.html

we are up to date on payment, however even if we were not, why am i getting locked out of using any wifi spot? any suggestion. I contacted Optimum and they told me to reset router... being that we dont have one (Wifi that is) at home. I cant do that..

I have done the following.

CW-. clear cache and data user

clear cache and data of web browser

clear cache of Market ( yeah i cannot even get on market or any widget that utilizes a connection

this is very annoying . could it be that i did not sign out of the optimum wifi? You have to do that in order to use it.. sorry for long post any suggestions would be of help THANKS a bunch...
[G Tablet General] cscotty:
Sounds like you're still connected to the optimum wifi. What wifi manager are you using? The one built into the rom? If so, I suggest you go to the market and download "wifi manager". Use that to manage your wifi connections and ensure that you are disconnecting from optimum and reconnecting to the new wifi network.

Here you go! :)

Oh btw this will completely get you back to stock everything (what phone is like when you buy one) and will delete everything (except sd card) and will lose root. But you can always re-root using unrevoked. And you can use titanium backup to restore stuff.

my battery drains like a bugatti veyron doing 252mph constantly

so what would you advise . is the kernal i have now the best or should i change .. i dont want to reall lose much performance on what i have now but would like the battery to maybe improve if possible ...

from full charge taking plug out searching market for 2 mins the battery drains 5-8% in matter of mins

and i have only had the phone a week
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
With that kind of drains the problems the kernel won't change that much. There is probably a app that causes the battery drain so looking in to that will have more effect. Also the brightness/screen on is the biggest drain and kernel won't do much about that.

You said that you have the phone a week, the battery needs some time to reach it's full potential and you probably use the phone a lot because it's new. So use the phone normally for another week, after that week let the phone drain until it shuts itself off, leaf it off and charge it till it's full. (there is a different calibration method but this always worked for me)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ik Desire:
What do you have now? Stock or rooted?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StefanCelMare:
First of all, I would assume that you don't use the phone non-stop (it would be justified to lose power in a few hours if you're on it non-stop).

I recently had issues with power consumption as well. What I did was:

1) check the built in battery monitor: menu-settings-about phone-battery-battery use. The bad thing about this monitor is that it does not differentiate well the apps consuming power, but you can still see if there's something wrong, as the most consumption should come normally from the screen and voice calls. For me, the most consumption was made by com.htc.bg, which, if I let the monitor on for a few seconds, would transform in the calendar app. Weird stuff. I unchecked the calednar auto sync from menu-settings-accounts and sync. It may have slowed the power loss down, but not significantly. I noticed a significant loss of battery by WiFi. I realized, I needed more information so:

2) I installed an app called 'Power Tutor'. What it does is, it calculates which apps consumes power, and it shows you in percentages. After install, you need to start the 'power profiler'. It will appear in your notification bar. If you let it run, after a few hours, you can see in "view application power usage" who is using power. That's how I discovered that my winamp app was really off the charts using power like crazy. So I went in the winamp settings, and I unchecked some options that could have determined this power consumption, like wireless sync, automatic mount as USB drive, etc. There was actually an option that was overriding the wifi power management, stating that the wifi does not stop after 180 seconds of standby. Basically, if you have wifi on, and you stop using the phone for 3 minutes, the phone automatically turns off the wifi. This was not happening any more, due to winamp. So I unchecked all those options, and voila. It worked, I have now normal battery life.

Good luck! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastaman-FB:
be aware of a couple of things

1. battery drain for the 1st few weeks are high because of a couple of factors, the battery "learns" and gets conditioned over a period of time (doesnt use the old 16hr charge process). its a new device for you so its a novelty, you probably mess about with it with the screen on more than you think.

2. there is a configuration within HTC's builds and in the memory chip of the battery to stop over charging. the device will charge to 100 and then slowly deplete to 90% while still saying full on the phone. as soon as you disconnect it recalibrates to the correct value which is anywhere between 90% and 100% depending at which part of the cycle you catch it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StefanCelMare:
Some other tips to increase battery life, from a friend of mine in the Romanian forum:

1) use the app watchdog, it will warn you when an app is using too much of the processor and will ask you if you want to close it.

2) juice defender with the paid add-on 'ultimate juice' - with the correct settings... it's amazing.

3) Dial *#*#4636#*#* - phone information-network type: select gsm auto prl. The phone will stay on 3G when it has good signal, and switch to 2G when it doesnt, saving battery

4) Change the wallpaper to a static one, not a live one.

5) Go to menu-settings-accounts and sync and increase sync intervals for weather, news, or even set them to sync manually when you choose.

i will try and answer everything at once ..

ok my screen is on 13% brightness

i hardly ever use my phone , the only real use was to root , s-off, put ROM ETC ON

I reply to about 50 texts ish per day and search the market for literally 1-2 mins to see what new apps are in

i dont play games or anything

the thing the battery uses most is the screen and as i say i have it on monochrome theme with 13% brightness, there is nothing synced , i check automatically for email etc .. actually beautiful widgets is set to auto update every 4 hours

i never use wifi as i have a 3gb download/data usage, i dont use gps ...well i do but i have had no need to .. thats about all i can tell ya

rastaman the pt2 is a bit weird it should stay at 100 if just taken out of charge

---US Cellular / CDMA Desire--- not GSM!

I'm officially sick of waiting for USCC's 2.2 update, and I'm going to hope they release a RUU sometime in the future, so I can send in for warranty if I have to.

But I'll take that chance. Getting ready for my jump, so far I understand.

1) unrEVOked is the best way to get custom recovery (CWR), root, and S-OFF.

2) From the CWR, I perform a nandroid backup of my stock USCC rom.

3) From the CWR, I perform a wipe.

4) From the CWR, I apply the Cyanogen .zip

5) From the CWR, I apply the gapps .zip

And then I'll at least have 2.2 and app2sd+

So far so good?

In the future I would like to learn cMTD, and look at Phoenix or FTRapid roms that let me resize partitions for even more space, but one thing at a time.

Bonus question : If I want to modify the Cyanogen .zip file before I apply them, to like remove ADW and add a different launcher, I simply have to change the zip and then re-sign it using the SDK, right?

Really? 50 views and no one can tell me if I'm on the right track or missing something? I don't want to mess this up, and xda I was told is the only place to trust for real good info.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
I never rooted a CDMA version Desire, but your steps seems to be OK.

But you forgot something. If you want to use the a2sd+, you must create an ext partition on your SD card.

Modifying the .zip? You can remove the apks by simply deleting from the zip file and copy over the new ones (does not know if you have to modify something else).

Also you don't need to sign it, just click on Toggle signature verification in CWR and you should be fine (at least it's working for me with unsigned .zips)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
yes that is pretty much it, just make sure the rom file you downloaded is compatible withcdma desire :)

And when using cwm there is no need to resign zips, as it should not check the signature by default. Also instead of editing the rom file, you could always just remove the apps afterwards :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AKDMA:
Yep, looks good, although I would add cmtd and vork kernel.

Edit: Here is a walkthrough for everything. CMTD instructions courtesy of TheUltimateDroid.com

You can download firerat's CMTD files on MIUI: http://miui-dev.com/forums/showthre...ns-for-MIUI-in-4-Simple-Steps!&highlight=cmtd (download the files marked a,b,c,d)

Here is the 11/29 compile of Vork kernel. It's not the newest, but I found it to be the fastest. Courtesy of Navalynt: http://www.4shared.com/file/d8v4Ztz2/vorkKernel_bravoc_1129.html

Boot into recovery (you should already be rooted with clockwordmod recovery and s-off before you get to this point)

PERFORM A NANDROID BACKUP! (Under Backup and Restore select Backup) - you should have done this earlier

Select Install zip from sdcard

Select Choose zip from sdcard and select recovery-v1.5.6-CustomMTD_S.zip

Press the physical back arrow twice to make sure you are at the main menu of the recovery

Select Advanced then Reboot Recovery

Once you are back in recovery you need to select Wipe data/factory reset

Scroll down to Mounts and Storage then select to format /boot and /system

** At this point the recovery has been patched with the cMTD and all of the partitions have been correctly formatted so you can install your ROM

Now go to choose zip from SD card, select the CM version you downloaded and install

after that's complete, select the google addon (gapps) and install

after that's complete, select vork kernel and install

after that's complete, select the boot-v1.5.6-CustomMTD_S.zip and reboot.

You should be up and running after this with about 290mb of internal storage, CM6/2.2 and everything that entails and pulling down around 1900 in quadrant (on a clean install).

Thanks again!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AKDMA:
If you're planning on doing cmtd, just follow those steps above exactly, it's everything you need to get the rom/kernel/cmtd installed. It's better to do cmtd when you initially flash the rom IMO, I've had trouble applying it later.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tufkal:
Success! Everything suggest here worked great, and everything is fabulous!

One quick followup, I noticed that Cyanogen doesnt actually use APP2SD+, they use their own modified version of the official FroYo APP2SD, which doesnt require a ext partition. (I think? Is that right?)

I have no problem making a ext partition and going the APP2SD+ route, but....how?

Can I do APP2SD+ with Cyanogen? Is the Cyanogen mod w/ the 290mb of space I have gonna be fine?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AKDMA:
You are right. For me personally, 290mb and the ability to move most of the app to SD is plenty of space. I have a ton of apps (everything I see that I want) and still only have 1 or 2 moved to sd. I never did the official apps2sd, it does cause slightly more strain on the card and I never neeeded it. However, here are instructions on how to do DarkTremor's apps2sd. http://www.theultimatedroid.com/forum/index.php?/topic/333-running-low-on-space/

You have to register there to see it, but link includes all files and instructions on how to do it all. Again, for me, it was unneeded.

The Surround does not have an official HTC ROM with which you can debrand it.

The HD7 and Surround are different devices. Drivers and all are different.

[Surround General] jwzg:
Sim unlocking and carrier id unlocking are two different animals. Keep in mind, if you want to use an HD7 on a Telus network then you will not have 3G service as the bands are differnt for T-Mobile than for Telus and AT$T.

if your old backup was created normally, i would recommend reflashing that backup and trying installing the new rom again.
