[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richardxjr:
Update:

I have the brodit slide-in holder, mounted onto a Ram Mount (I had to drill a hole in the Ram diamond mount, as the brodit holes didn't line up)

I padded the brodit holder out with a couple of strips of black heavy duty velcro so the Defy now is much snugger in there.

I have Ram mounts on my bike, in my car, and on my jetski. It ain't going anywhere: solid as a rock!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esspee_London:
Have a look at one of these bike mounts from Holders and Mounts.

[EVO 4G Accessories] tri0xinn:
I've always been a minimalist when it comes to accessories.. covers/cases/car docks. Anyway Here's a simple solution I've been using since day one with my Evo. Simple magnet holder.. Below is the link.. $5.00 . Take off your battery cover... the Metal plate the size of a quarter with adhesive sticker sticks to your battery... then put your battery cover on. Then put the magnet anywhere on your dash.. it's black and a half inch thick .. about an inch or so in diamater.. it also has an adhesive sticker. It pretty inconspicuous.. I have mine right above my radio on the dash. It's perfect.. the magnetic strength is strong enough it has NEVER fallen off.. also it's great cuz you can just turn your phone in portrait or landscape without issue. Also the softouch oem battery cover doesn't scratch from putting it off and on.. like I thought it might. So easy to just set it against the dash when getting in the car and pulling it off getting out.

Yeah it kinda sucks there is no power to it.. But I just have my cigarette charger there so I can just attach it when needed.
[EVO 4G Accessories] billyapd21:
Looks really cool, I might try it out.
[EVO 4G Accessories] brokentoaster24:
hey op, mind sharing a couple picture of how your phone looks with the attachment? thanks!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mitalis:
I too would love to see how it looks attached to your phone. If you could provide a closeup shot of the adhesive attached to the back of your phone as well as a pic of the phone sitting on your dashboard that would be great.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mighty Mike:
I used one like this on my old TP2 and I loved it. You only have a little piece of metal on the back of your phone and the magnet attached to your car is really strong. Thanks for the link, I might pick up another one.
[EVO 4G Accessories] tri0xinn:
I'll attach a pic tomorrow.. don't have a camera other than the one on the phone.. I'll use a friends camera tomorrow for a few shots.
[EVO 4G Accessories] deathsled:
and that magnet doesn't mess up navigation by throwing off the internal compass or whatever?
[EVO 4G Accessories] kd0axs:
Looks like they must have changed the price. It says $7.13 + $2.35 shipping.

Here's someone on ebay selling these. $3.29 + $1.95 shipping, and a discount on shipping if you order more than one. I just ordered 4 of them and it came to $17.96 total with shipping.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250725347170
[EVO 4G Accessories] tonyscha:
Yeah that would be my worry... magnet that close to electronics.
[EVO 4G Accessories] droidbird:
I shouldn't cause any issues for the phone itself, but the compass is likely affected. The Palm Pre has little metal tabs in the case in a similar fashion and it doesn't suffer any bad side effects of being on the touchstone (magnetic connection + inductive charging) but the Pre doesn't have a compass.
[EVO 4G Accessories] droidbird:
Just ordered 2 of them to try out, total as under $10.00. One of the advantages is that I think I'll be able to attach my EVO to my multitude of touchstones, even if it can't charge. (yet, may do that mod if I keep the EVO)

Thanks for the tip!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cezzarmicu:
Hi there... just recently upgraded from stock 2.1 to stock 2.2 ROM. Everything is working great, fast and snappy and such. But after 2 days, i suddenly noticed that images under the Gallery 3D app are 5 times repeated(?). However, when I check the files using file explorer, there is just one copy for each image... This happens on all the images I have on my external SD card. All files I have on my internal SD card show up just fine. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxSuperserieSxxx:
try move them to external sd card then move them back to its original folder...mine works..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cezzarmicu:
thanks for the reply... tried it but it's still the same. i still have 5 copies each for a single image... even a reboot and gallery cache wipe did not help :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frisbee912:
I had the same problem after flashing a ROM.

Solution: with root explorer (or adb ) delete

- /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.media/externalXXX.db

- /sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media

reboot

hth
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cezzarmicu:
Worked!!! Thank you very much... you literally saved me from doing a soft reset :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angryphoton:
Had this problem also, but only for pictures stored in the external SD card that I added. I did an experiment and moved them to the phones internal sd card and it eliminated the problem. Weird, anyone know why this happens??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bluejay913:
I have been having this same problem and verified that this works. There was 1 folder still duplicating but after a reboot it was normal.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AntonJart:
Hello everyone. I tried to search answer to this question, but so far found nothing.

This is known issue, when using Android SD build.

When I transfer files to my phone, the apps do not see the files. I have to restart my phone in order to see them. Does anyone knows how to fix it? I found ROM that I love, and it turns out to be such frustrating.

PS: I am also a noob, just got HD2 this afternoon.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] marasp:
Do you mean that you transfer them from your PC? If that the case it's worth checking if you not connecting to PC through Disk Drive, as this making "sd card" inaccsesible from phone apps. When you disconnect from PC, your files should be visible to the apps again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] brainmaster:
You can install SDRescan.

Download MULTI MOUNT from market, and use it to enable the SD to the PC (not the android built in function) This is a must for all SD builds! cause with the standard method you can corrupt your data.Multi Mount allos the phone and the pc to access the card at the same time with no risk
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Droski:
This will be my first... I need advice on what I need to learn... it is a fairly simple app, so beginners guides/tutorials should do just fine. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Archer:
What previous development experience do you have?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Droski:
some c# and I'm currently learning XML.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Archer:
Have a look at this...

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

It's a great starting point and will walk you through getting the dev environment up and running and creating a few little apps.

After that, forums, google groups and just generally google are the best ways to go. I do also recommend the book, Sams "Teach yourself Android application development in 24 hours". It's very good and walks you through all the different steps of development in a very clear way.

Good luck mate :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Droski:
thanks a lot man
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Archer:
No worries mate, and good luck with the dev work :)
[Android Themes] NCX Designs:
I've decided to make my ClockWidget skins available to all HTC sense users thus making them available here in the Android Themes section since these are not ROM dependent

These only will work on Sense ROMs that have been deodexed.

Before installing anything be sure to backup your current ROM in case you don't like the clock or just want to switch back.

Now that the important stuff is taken care of, here's the clocks:

as far as i can tell, this is the biggest collection of clocks available on XDA for HTC Sense devices, not only are they not monochrome, they are of the highest quality and bring some color to your home screen. I was tired of having the same boring clock so i started making my own, especially after finding not that many clocks i actually liked.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

=============================================================

See attachments below for download

==============================================================================

Tron clock collection here

Choose which update.zip you want to use by unzipping the downloaded file to a folder of your choice, select which color you want to use and voila, use that file to install via ClockModRecovery.

==================================================================================

Thread currently under development, *currently being edited*

Please bear with me until its finished.

[Android Themes] NCX Designs:
All of these clocks have been made with the Droid Incredible in mind but work on other devices as long as they have the HTC clock widget for Sense 1.5.

How do i install?

let me say i like the look you have created but i wouldn't have a clue how to install these clocks at all if you could give me a step by step tutorial would be awesome and i'll donate to your cause
[Android Themes] NCX Designs:
If your Rooted, you should have ClockMod Recovery installed

move the .zip's you want to install to your sd card's root before proceeding further!

there are 3 ways to get to Recovery: (this is the method for using .zip files to install themes that are set up as an update.zip)

1. ROM Manager - "Reboot into Recovery"

2. ADB command in SDK - "adb reboot recovery"

3. holding down the volume down and power button on the phone, then it will load the H-Boot screen, once there use the volume down button to move to "Recovery" hit the power button to select the option, once there you should see a black screen with green text that shows recovery options you have.

After you make it to recovery, choose:

"Install Zip from SD-Card"

(you can either use the Optical Trackball to select the options or the volume keys (up and down)

to select the option, press the Optical Trackball's button once you highlight the correct option.

Then choose: "Choose zip from sdcard"

it will load all the contents of your SD Card on the screen

again, use the trackball or volume keys to select the file you want to install, once highlighted, hit the trackball button.

As a precaution, the devs that made ClockMod Recovery also implemented a security incase you selected the wrong option, so you will see only one option in the next screen that says "YES" and a ton of "NO"

once selected you should see it install, after its done installing, it will take you back to the main recovery menu, once there, choose "Reboot System Now"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Easiest method: ROM Manager

1. Open ROM manager, choose "Install ROM from SD card"

2. Choose the file you want to install (if it gives you an error, its because the file name has spaces in it, to fix this, rename the file so its either "filename_here" instead of "filename here" (**filename here is only an example, do not rename it to this**)

3. Once ROM manager lets you select the file to install, it will load a popup, do NOT check any of these options unless you want to make a backup, do NOT choose WIPE DATA and CACHE, this will format the ROM causing all your saved passwords, settings, apps to be all erased.

4. Click Ok, and the phone will reboot into recovery, auto install that file, then reboot automatically back to the OS.

Note: Some of my files (before i started to use ROM manager) weren't named with this app in mind as an installation method, so file names like "NCX StockSilver Blue" would have to be renamed to NCX_StockSilver_Blue, the simplest method is to replace spaces with _ or -

if this helps anyone, please be sure to give your thanks and don't forget, i gladly accept donations to keep my work moving forward, especially when the Thunderbolt comes out and is rooted.

Can these be used on a 2.2 rom?

Thanks:)
[Android Themes] Phienyx:
Man, I am loving the tron blue style as well as many of the other styles. I use a stock HTC Evo. Can these only be used with a rooted Evo? I would love to be able to use these with mine without rooting. If that is so, is there anything out there like this for non rooted phones?

Than you.
[Android Themes] NCX Designs:
To answer your question, the framework on the Droid Incredible and EVO 4G are not compatible with each other as far as mods goes.

But Its not entirely hard to port it over to be used on the EVO 4G, its a matter of when I have the time to do it.

I guess that is not entirely bad news. Ill be looking forward to something like that.

To the OP:

Go find the latest Official rom from your carrier in the WM6.5 forum. Rebbot into magldr and mount the sd through usb. Format the memory card using sdformatter and then copy across the CustomRUU.nbh across to the root of your memory card. Rename to LEOIMG.nbh and reboot into bootloader (Vol down + power) install the rom and shebang, your phone is fully back to stock :D

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XartzMAX:
A very simple quick question : Is the battery life of the Desire HD better or worse than the original Desire? (because right now the only thing that is between getting the DHD or the Desire is the battery life issue) I am much satisfied how the old Desire performs in batterywise (by reading the forums and reviews) but all the bad comments of the DHD dreads me to make the deal. :(

Have anyone used (or better owned) both devices and know any differences of these 2 devices with same level of usage? Can actually the improvement of the CPU compensate the drain due to the screen? :confused:

Some facts I expect from the device:

1. Dont need hourly updating with twitter fb etc or regular sense Sync. (once or twice a day is more than enough)

2. Looking forward to have a fairly moderate use of the screen for browsing ebooks etc.

3. Not heavy on making long calls.

4. Dont want to use spare batteries and nowhere to charge during the day after leaving home. So it MUST last 24hrs. :eek:

PLEASE share your experience, or I m afraid I might endup with the wrong phone for the next 2 years! Thank you all for your valuable comments....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junta_mpb:
Roughly the same battery life for me.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XartzMAX:
@junta_mpb Thanks for the instant reply. So I ll take that DHD can last the day by my usage pattern right?

Ok now Much more convinced to make the deal with DHD :D.

So I presume the battery killer about the DHD is the screen. And for a day that I might need more juice till late, I spare the screen usage and be ok right? I also saw that the 2G can go upto 9+hrs! So it seems calling may not have a big impact.

Just curious how much do you think it will last, if I got a DHD, with my usage pattern, with additional 30mins gaming a day? Thanks a lot for the replies. :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junta_mpb:
Text and calls don't seem to affect usage a lot. Based on what you wrote, I would say reading your books will eat the most out of your battery. I'm going out on a limb here and will say you should easily get more than 14 hours with heavy usage/e book reading. By heavy I mean more than 3 hours screen time.

3g is the biggest drain of the battery, in my experience and even with it on, I still get more than 14 hours with lots of surfing with around 3 hours screen time.

Standby drain with hourly sync takes 1% per hour.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSkeet:
My battery is better than normal desire. I can actually playing most of the day with it and still have some juice left till I plug it in....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XartzMAX:
@junta_mpb an @MattSkeet Many thanks again. Getting a solid picture now :D

Just another quick question, do you keep the syncing, email and social network updates, to frequent checking (for ex 1 hr basis) and use GPS daily?

And how much "screen time" roughly do you get until the battery level gets critical?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junta_mpb:
I forgot to mention, all the time quotes are when the phone reaches 30%. You can actually get more out of it if you push it further.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junta_mpb:
Mine is set to hourly sync. Screen time is typically around 3+ hours.

Again, this usage gets me to 30%. I usually change then.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaymondErasmus:
I am fortunate enough to have both devices. I see myself as an average user and I easily get through a day with my dhd, 24hrs plus.

The battery life on my desire is abit better but not by much as I always plug it in every night in anycase.

I have Facebook, emails sync every hour, WiFi on the whole time, 30 to 40 mins of gaming, and listening to some music when I'm bored, 10 to 15 min on the web, atleast 4 calls made or received and texting the whole time. This is average usage for me, so I think you should be fine.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyelliott:
PC Pro put the DHD at the bottom in its battery tests, lower than the Desire. But in the alternate universe inhabited by some people in this forum, I'm sure the Desire is better.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XartzMAX:
@bobbyelliott maybe functions that didnt much affect the battery of the Desire (screen usage I presume) due to AMOLED, have greater effect on the DHD, and vice versa?

But getting mixed reviews is confusing. Shame that I dont know anyone with a DHD to check hands-on. :( And the battery needs some time to adjust, as I ve seen in this forum posts, and they had done the battery test straight out of the box I think?

Anyway I m still leaning towards the DHD for its big screen. But I dont see a point buying such a powerhouse with so much underpowered battery.

Maybe should I wait and see if something like Thunderbolt gets available for sim-free?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobias14:
had Desire for 6 months and am a DHD user for less than 3 weeks now..

battery life is very similar, maybe slightly better on Desire..

am a light user; 5-10 sms per day, a call or two, sync only gmail & weather (every 2 hrs).. some web surfing (30 minutes) and installing/uninstalling of apps..

with above usage i charge battery every 2 days
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
I can't compare with the Desire (I'm comming from a Touch HD - the greatest phone of it's time ;) ), but I can easyly get through the day with one charge. Obviously the screen is the biggest drain, so if you need the battery to last more, you have to limit your "screen time" and I keep my brightness set to auto. Due to the nature of my job, I make a lot of calls (maybe 40-50 mins a day), browsing+XDA ~40 mins a day, ebooks for about 30 mins (screen brightnes set to minimum for that), and when I have to use GPS (very rarely), I always charge the phone during that time, because I use GPS only while driving. Also I'm almost always on 3G, wifi and bluetooth always on. I don't use facebook or twitter, but I sync the news feeds, weather, POP3 mail, gmail is set to push, sense is also syncing... and I think that's about everything worth mentioning.

I rarely play games though, so this might bring the battery down if you do, but I think you can still get through the day (actually that's 16 not 24 hours - you have to sleep sometime ;) ). Also if you have a "battery heavy" day, you can always put some juice in the phone while driving home after work.
