Task killer

yea task killers=battery drainers
[Vibrant General] t1n0m3n:
Task killers are nice to catch runaway processes, or to kill processes that you cannot otherwise (other than the kill command that is.) I agree with everyone else here, though. Don't use a task killer just to kill off processes that you might think that you are not using.

I use "Advanced Task Killer Free," but I don't use it very often.

Why do I not just use the built in task killer? It doesn't see all of the running processes.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
You can use Task manager or system panel or some of the others like that. They do not use really any resources but are a convenient way to close programs in one spot.

Solo Task killers apps aren't really needed with the newer roms
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v0iddr0id:
I got a t-mobile branded DHD, and had no problems with root s-off etc. and im currently running revolution 2.0.11 ROM.

But the tmobile bootscreen is still there. Is there any possibility to remove it?

I already tried to replace the bootanimation.zip in /data/local/. So first I thought that worked because when fastboot is turned on the new bootanimation shows up on restart.

But when I go into CWM or when fastboot is turned off the tmobile logo is still showing up.

I also flashed Kernel and Radio but still no effect.

Does anyone know where this logo is stored or how it can be removed?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Yes it's on the /splash2 partition. To nuke it you need a new splash.img. You can get one from extracting from an ruu or there is a thread for custom splash screen in the themes section of the forum.

You also need eng hboot s-off not radio s-off then you can boot to fastboot and do "fastboot flash splash2 splash.img"

-----

Someone Swyped my idea.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
like mox said it's not the boot animation, its the splash, you need to have eng s-off, then find the image you want as a splash, you need to convert the .bmp to an .img, then you can flash it from fastboot using the command "fastboot flash splash1 xxxxxx.img" :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v0iddr0id:
thx for your fast answers!

how do i convert a bmp to img? i guess it wont work by just changing the file ending?

im so glad i wont have to see that t-mobile logo anymore now my DHD is completely liberated from all this provider crap :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
this tool here will do it all, covert the image and flash the splash for you :)

Hui all xda-developers.

I'm a knew member in here, so I will first say hi to all members :cool: .

As my title says, i cannot Hard-reset my phone (HTC HD2/LEO).

The hole thing is a big story, but what the hack :eek:

First I brooked my screen, then I tried to change the screen, but without problems. Then after to month, I did make an Password for my phone, because of privacy thing on the phone. BTW, the phone changed the password itself :confused: .

I talked with HTC, and they says that it is a bug in the phone, and the only way was a hard-reset, (But when i clanged the screen, i did broke the volume up and down button :mad:) - then they gave me a price if they should make my phone 4000 Danish krone's :eek: ........ :( I will not give 4000 DK, I have All ready paid about 5-6000 Danish krone's for the phone!..

Is there someone in this forum that can help me? I all ready have searched Google and so on, talked with so many people, but all the time they say 'Hard-reset' .. :mad:

I seriously don't no what I have to do,:confused: maybe it is possible by USB cable :S
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
So your main problem is that the phone changed the password and not you cant hard reset right ?

This happens a lot even there is a thread about it somewhere. Try to remove the sim card and the sd-card then enter your pin code.

Or if that didn't work you can try to flash an official ROM for your device via USB, But since you broke the vol rockers and your phone is locked I'm not exactly sure how you'd go into bootloader nor connect in ActiveSync mode. Give it a try, it may work :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
Welcome to xda!

I think that the HD2 section must be overwhelming for a starter... and the search function can deliver confusing results.

However, as the phone has already some major on-market time, most problems you might face have been discussed sometime in the past, that is why I do recommend you to use the search function with simple search terms.

Now, about your question:

Please check this thread: Klick!

The tip nr. 15 describes how to reset your phone - and the rest of the thread describes many other more or less unknown features and functions of your phone.
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
He already knows how to hard reset :D

But his vol's are broken, that's why he's asking ;)
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
Mate if you broke the screen and the volume key buttons then why on earth are you trying to reset the phone?

Fix the hardware first and then deal with a hard reset. If both those items are broken then there really is no way to hard reset the HD2. I wish you the best of luck but it looks like your HD2 is really dead...
[HD2 General] Aokur:
I'm trying to reset my phone, because i cannot find those hardware\main board for the phone on the Internet? (Those wires in the phone, that goes to the volume up and down)

If you can recover an Nokia (something) without an hard reset, then why can we not do it on an HD2 ? Do you no what i mean >?:confused:
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
^^^ Yeah, my bad. Missed the whole point that the hardware is completely broken. And a password issue.

Anyway...

I started this thread to find out what mod is working well on GT-P1000.

If you tested a Kernel or something like that and it works fine on the GT-P1000 please note it here and put a link where to find this mod.

Thanks!

i have tried the following:

Kernels

default kernel from Roto v5

Modaco

1.2-1.4 overclocked kenel

ROMs

Roto v5

Modaco

Overcome 1.1.3

Just scroll up to the Tab Bible thread... everything you need is there..

Hi...I just bought one from Europe so that it would have the full capabilities on it. Which sim card is the best to use in the US? T-Mobile or AT&T? What are the advantages disadvantages?

[Desire HD General] Selfarian:
Hello,

i am planning to buy a new smartphone. In the past i had some Windows Mobile Phones. The synchronising between Exchange and the smartphone was very good, but the performance and many "apps" are only for android, iphone or symbian, but not windows mobile :(

So.. i thought iphone or android. A friend of mine has a HTC Desire and he is satisfied with this device. But he suggested me to buy the follower device.

So i searched for the desire hd and found some pro and contras. I think the critical contras are:

- Device crashes very often

- Battery life (5h?)

- Difficulty to lift of the battery without destoing something

So i want to know what the archievements of the desire hd according to the desire are and if you would suggest me to buy the desire or the desire hd. And if you also discovered this contras.

I am not using wlan very often, i think, this is one of the features, that needs the most current...

Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad english ;)

Best regards,

Selfarian
[Desire HD General] Korntoff:
Depends what's best for you. The Desire HD is fast, and looks it, with its giant (although slightly washed out) screen. The desire is much prettier, although its processor is less efficient and older, using, some would say, 'outdated' technologies. Though it's not slow ;D The battery issues are with both phones, but are stretchable to a sufficient full day with a good ROM.In the end it's just about what matters to you - a beast of a massive screen with a powerhouse hiding behind it (with true multi-touch) Or an absolutely gorgeous phone with a smaller screen and performance to match (There are multi-touch issues- Best to read up on this, it could be vital in your decision.)

Good luck picking what works best for you :)
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I agree with the post above. It all depends on what you need rather then the "best out there". Most comments on comparison, especially on a forum, are subjective.

With that said, the specs for the Desire and DHD are comparable. I own both and there are two things that make a difference; Screen size and type. I'm sure you know the differences between them from the research you have already made.
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
i havent experienced the crash problem to be honest, and battery life is about the same it was with my desire. the battery cover is poorly designed, and every time you take it off, you feel as if your going to brake it lol touch wood i hasne broke yet tho :D
[Desire HD General] Selfarian:
Ok. Have you any experiences how long the battery lasts in both devices with "normal" use and with the stock rom?

My experience is, that the battery in a smartphone lasts for 1 Day... maybe 1,5 Days... :)

At the moment i think, the hd is the better choice, because of the speed and the bigger display... i made so bad experiences with "slow" smartphones... I don't like it, when i want to place a call and my windows fone mentions: "Sense is restarting..."... :D
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I'm on stock and 16 hours before reaching 30% is typical for me. I use 3G and tether devices quite a bit. Calls, games, texts and e-mail are used throughout the day with sync on 100% of the time.

I've noticed that 3G uses a lot of battery and an hours worth of usage can easily knock off 15% while standby takes 1%/hour.

Bottomline is that it can, normally, get you through a typical workday.
[Desire HD General] Selfarian:
That sounds very good... It seems to be the same usage that i will have...

Ok... the first days, when the device is new and when i "have to" try "every" app from the marketplace, the usage will be much more ;)...
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
Yeah, I think 6 hours with you trying out every aspect of the phone will be as far as you go during the first few days. We do tend to be a bit over eager with something new.
[Desire HD General] iant54:
There is another difference between the two 'phones - the number of Apps which can co-exist. I'm currently using the Desire, and I'm increasingly frustrated at the space available (or, rather, not) for new Apps, and I have moved as many as I can to the SD card (thanks to Froyo). Every time there's a new update to be downloaded, I have to uninstall some Apps before I have enough spare space, then re-download them.

The Desire HD has three times as much App storage space, as far as I can understand.

(Edit) Next payday, I'm intending to purchase the Desire HD, unless there's something better comes out beforehand!
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
This is an interesting point and very true. I completely agree.
[Desire HD General] m7svk:
Hi, I tried desire and dhd, decide to keep dhd, its just much better phone for longer term - offer a bit more for money, and htcsense.com in another plus...
[Desire HD General] Selfarian:
Ah ok... so... the Apps can (normally) only be stored on the internal storage and not on the sd card?
[Desire HD General] lpachuong:
- Device crashes very often

Really? Which OS do u use? No problem here using CM7

- Battery life (5h?)

Are u playing online game? Well, on standby mode i can have it for ~18+ hours with regular calls/sms.

- Difficulty to lift of the battery without destoing something

Play with the demo device before u do it to ur fone =)

DHD is worth buying and it has better GPU than D
[Desire HD General] Selfarian:
I have no DHD, that are only some points, wich i read in some comments. So i just wanted to know if this are real problems (with the stock rom)...
[Desire HD General] audiobookman:
ive been running the dhd since november 9th, and i can honistly say its the best thing since sliced bread, a couple of friends purchased the desire at the same time and they now look at mine in envy even though there is nothing wrong with thier phones.

The battery is not its stongest point, i listen to audiobooks all day at work and manage to get my battery down to 30% with calls and internet thrown in. But i also run juice defender that seems to make a massive improovement. There is also a thread about putting flash to on demand - ive just found this and currently testing so cannot comferm.

As for crashes, yes them machine was pretty buggy to start off with, but workaround and fixes have been done, ive found now since running leedroid my phone has been a solid as a pre 2000 nokia lol.

The covers on the battery and cards are a big let down, but tbh how often are you going to remove them?, unless your carrying extra batterys and cards around you will find that you wont remove them, i last removed my battery cover when i was rooting and flashing my phone originally in december. For the battery i carry around a zip charger which will 80% charge my phone if i need it, but this hasnt been used for about 2 months as well.

Ive never had a phone before that has impressed me to this degree, ive had the g1, moto milestone, wildfire (now the wifes) and the dhd - this is so far the only android phone i can see myself still using when my contract is up in 2 years.

This is how good the phone is, i sub to live prem football streaming site, and i watch all the games on my dhd - not though 3g mind you as the bandwidth is too low but on wifi its incredible.

now for getting an app that will make me a coffee......
[Desire HD General] xpuser:
I have had both phones. The screen on the desire is better...quite a bit better when you have them side by side. However for me, the HD is a better phone all round. I prefer the bigger screen. I was concerned about it fitting in my pocket, but I had nothing to worry about. More memory for apps, bigger screen, faster processor...easy decision for me.
[Desire HD General] kafilta:
I suggest you wait.. for the next batch of phones..

It is too late to decide on those 2 since their elder brothers are coming soon
[Desire HD General] wid0w:
Got the dhd. It rocked my world really. Battery can go anywhere between 12h(wireless, games, calls, music, surfing) and close to 48h with minimal but not zero usage. Has hd recording whereas desire does not. Bigger screen, aluminium build. Froyo by default, although i read something about the desire getting it too. Also i have to warn you, you will not let it out of your hands for some 10ish hours after you first open it. Only disadvantage you could have is the phone being too big for your pocket. Regarding crashes... never had one since i bought it. You should also consider the desire z if you're a casual phone user. Oh yes, the dolby audio enhancement + stock headphones = win
[Desire HD General] Selfarian:
Thanks for all the new suggestions.

Problem is now, my wife won't spent so much money for a mobilephone ;) DAMN IT!!!! :D

My hope is, when the desire s (unsure if the name is right) comes out, the hd gets cheaper...

*hoping so much*
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
The desire has HD Video recording and also had froyo before the DHD was even released. So i dont know what your chatting about..
[Desire HD General] itachi1706:
The desire S is literally a waste of money. It is literally a desire with slightly larger internal memory (1.1 gb) but the internal memory is still way less than dhd (1.5 gb)
[Desire HD General] mr.r9:
I'll give you my opinion:

Wait at least 2 weeks from now, then check if the new phones from LG & Samsung are out with some reviews. MWC usually takes a week to finish, so a week more will give you a better understanding of the upcoming devices.

You have 2-3 devices from LG & there's the Galaxy s 2.
[Desire HD General] iant54:
With Froyo, some Apps can be moved to the SD card, but not everything.
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
The only good thing to come out of mwc up to now is qualcomm unveiling is 2.5ghz quad core monster :D

http://www.v3.co.uk/v3/news/2274757/mwc-qualcomm-quad-core-chips
[Desire HD General] Selfarian:
No, i don'T want the desire s ^^ i just hope, when it comes out, the dhd would be cheaper :)
[Desire HD General] aaa:
If you can hold one for about several (1-3) months without a Desire or Desire HD, you can consider getting one of the dual-cored smarties.

I still holding my old AMOLED Desire (it used to be Vodafone software branded but currently on InsertCoin 1.9d ROM ) but I am already drooling everytime I see Motorola ATRIX video on youtube :p
[Desire HD General] htc fan89:
I believe duo-core devices are over-hyped. I see duo-core coming in handing when playing games, but rest of stuff a scorpion processor can handle it. By the way DHD is a wicked device:D
[Desire HD General] medowl:
MWC are just the announcements.. it could easily take another 3-6 month for the models being showed there to be available by any provider..

as for the consideration between a Desire or Desire HD, for me, i found the HD too big. I love the physical buttons & trackball on the non-HD.

the limitations of the internal memory can easily be avoided by several mods available here on xda...

the DHD is definitely not the "better" one of the two, just the bigger one...
[Desire HD General] chumbagen:
The Desire is an awesome phone.

I upgraded to a Desire HD for the following reasons:

-Larger internal memory

-Better game performance

-Bigger screen for web/media

Which, for me, outweigh the obvious quirks:

-It's huge! I rock an OtterBox case and It's like the frak'n Monolith from 2001 in my pocket.

I guess thats the only one gripe I have.
[Desire HD General] saluki1:
It is only matter of size.

If you need a easily pocketable device go for Desire.

Ifelse --> Desire HD

That simple :)
[Desire HD General] Aenima462:
Which otterbox do you use? I have the commuter series and it doesn't really add much bulk at all. Almost makes it feel better to hold. It's an amazing case, though I do have insurance on this phone as well this time around.

I also have to say, at about 100mAh less than the milestone's battery, I get way way better life on the Desire HD with moderate use. Of course it's going to die fast during power intensive activities when you're playing games or just wont put the damn thing down.

It's a great device, and the desire really never appealed to myself so I got the HD. Easily fits in all pockets of every pair of jeans/pants I own. For the ladies, good luck fitting this into some of your pant pockets LOL
[Desire HD General] Selfarian:
Ok, then it would be the HD :D

But atm i am unshure ^^ ;) My wife has the opinion that 200€ is enough for a handy/smartphone :( so i have to convince her or the desire/hd has to be cheaper :/ :D
[Desire HD General] returnVoid:
desire hd, that being said, with new phones coming up, even the desire hd looks old

just look at the specs of galaxy s2 and those from lg and Motorola
[Desire HD General] Hellreject:
If you want a new phone NOW, I guess you take the one that mostly suits your needs.

With the better performance, larger screen and bigger internal storage, my best bet would've been the Desire HD.

However, if you can hold off for a couple of months, there's probably going to be something bigger, better and faster (and more expensive) out there. Since dual core phones is "the next big thing", I suspect there will be few to choose from in the upcoming months.
[Desire HD General] Aenima462:
In Canada we get everything behind schedule, the dhd will be new up here till Christmas LOL

Tell her it will take nicer pictures of her than the desire ;)
[Desire HD General] ulgaming:
I'd prefer Desire HD any day. :D It's got more RAM, better CPU, bigger screen, better style and the camera is also very very good. The video capture quality is also very good.

You should go for the DHD. ;)
[Desire HD General] PHPanos:
I would choose the DHD since it has better performance, it looks better and I love the big screen while playing or surfing the web :D The desire is also a great phone, but it feels like it's out of date. Same with DHD soon :P

I tried to set the screen timeout to whatever interval is there, 15sec and up, none of my trials worked to get my screen to turn off and lock which is killing my battery at no time :(

only when i press the lock buttondoes it turn off.. but when i have the mobile in my pocket it usually press some button accidentally and that will keep the screen on :s

i searched the net to see if anybody else have had this problem but found nothing, and not even the applications on the market made this screen timeout work!! So i wonder if anyone have any idea about how such a problem could be fixed or what caused it?

i also got my o1 back today and i also experience the same problem. screen timeout doesnt seem to work and when i charged the phone it boot up and charge with a screen on. my board was replaced and it stayed at the shop for a week and now i have a screen timeout problem. It seems that their replacement board have all this problem. does anyone here have this problem too after their board have been change??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
OK, a quick test for you. Please follow these steps:

- go to Menu - Settings - Applications - Development

- check if "Stay awake" is enabled.

If it is, then that's why your phone behaves like that, because you requested it. Uncheck that option - problem solved and you should facepalm yourself for sending the phone in service over this trivial issue.

If not, then you indeed have a problem and you should demand some explanations at the service center.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] akitos:
actually it is already disabled by default and it is the cause of the problem. Maybe the board they replace is defective. I noticed that most of the people having the same problem as mine are those people who have new board. Ill bring this back tomorow. it sucks! i have to wait for another week!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] akitos:
mass storage doesnt work for me too. :( have to bring this back again tomorow.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MAXT3R88:
same issue to me...

it just got back from service center with a brand new logic card.. and now it does not work screen time out neither usb functionalities =_=

done many test (different computers and s.o., several reboots... nothing worked)
