I have not tried this and I can not guarantee it will work and won't brick your phone.

You also will not be able to back up your WiMax keys this way.

If you are still determined to try...

You can try downloading this to your phone.

Download root explorer from the market(paid app) go into the SD Card folder, then the download folder. Locate the zip, then long press and select move, make sure you are in the SD card folder, but no sub folder and paste.

The reboot into bootloader by turning your phone off. Then turn back on while holding the volume down.

I haven't done it myself, but you should now be prompted to reboot after the recovery zip is flashed from the bootloader.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mighty_Pooh:
Hi there people i just flashed the [ROM][New Sense HD][01 Feb]Z v2.0 D2Ext - Lightning quick !!

from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=837948

The other roms ive used have not have space problems but this one doesnt seem to work for me. They ahve been a2sd+ and not d2ext

I have a 16 GB Kingston Cat10 card ive partitioned like this.

10gb fat32, 4gb ext4, 1gb ext4, 1gb swap

I figured that would leave me with plenty of space for apps.

But when i try to install android agenda widget it tells me i dont have enough space on the device that seems odd doesnt it? Or should i have gone for a2sd++ instead of d2ext ?

The only reason i rooted was due to lack of space for apps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Not exactly sure what went wrong but your ext partitions are ridiculously big and I belief you run in to issues with partitions bigger than something around 2Gb.

Try ext partitions accordion to the recommend sizes or at least stay under 2Gb and try again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
On top of what the fella mentions above (he's right), sometimes you get this error with that ROM when you have concurrent downloads ensuing. It's a false call. Let all your installs finish before reinstalling. It should work the second or third time in my experience.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mighty_Pooh:
I might have found the problem but not a solution.

Doesnt realy matter how i partition wipe all partitions and so on.

When i boot recovery with clockwork and flash update.zip i go to wipe/system reset and it tells me the following:

Error mounting SDEXT:!

Apparently it whont mount my ext partition i can mount everything else.

Partition table is now:

11GB Fat32, 2GB Ext4, 1GB ext4 1GB swap.

EDIT.

Might have been semi solved, i flashed a new rom RCS MixHD v2.0

Seems like its basicly the same.

The phone runs and the apps seems to be installed on sd.

Still the same problem in clockwork though.

Ok, so need your thoughts...

i currently have a contract with vodefone, that will continue till may next year 2012. costs me £35 a month with that i get

my htc desire - Free

900 Mins

unlimited texts

1GB internet

thats all great and WAS very happy with it.....

vodafone rang me today and said as im such a loyal customer etc etc etc..

they offered me and ADDITIONAL line

a FREE htc desire HD

900 mins

unlimited texts

1gb internet

obviously with my current contract i dont really need the additional mins texts or net. but a free htc desire... i thought wow, but said no, untill guy have me a free bluetooth headset. now i no nobody uses the headsets unless your a taxi driver, but i kinda thought.. 30 extra a month, sure why not.

so i said yes, and the plan is to get the htc desire hd, sell my standard desire. put the extra sim on the shelf (never use) and just carry on

now i had a chance to think about it, kinda sinking in that i been stupid, and tomorrow morning im going to call vodafone and cancel it.

is £65 a month worth it for htc desire hd 900 mins, unlimited texts and 1gb internet......

prehaps not.........is it?

(yes im expecting lots of "your a dumb ass" comments, but reason for my post, is to first see what you all think, but also to let people know my experiance incase vodafone (or other mobile provider) comes a calling)
[Off-topic] TheBiles:
Couldn't you easily buy a Desire HD for the extra £30 per month?
[Off-topic] Blåburk:
Well, a little too obsessed with HTC phones, maybe :) but HTC stock holders needs money too.

If the phone is unlocked and you can afford two contracts, then see it as a present to yourself and before the end of 2011 new fancy HTC phones have appeared that will need your spare SIM and contract.

Is the data amount/month in the UK average 1GB?

Paying about the same as you for a contract with Halebop in Sweden, got 10GB/month but no free SMS

and an unlocked SE J20i Hazel. Using the Halebop plan in the X10 Mini and the Hazel "temporary out of commission". Having a third phone, an Ericsson T28 with Pre paid.

Got a phone obssesion too.
[Off-topic] FLAC Vest:
Why not.just.multiply the 35 by.the number of months of contract, then compare that to an unlocked Desire?

If it comes out close to that, Id take it since you're getting extra minutes and data as well. (You could use all data on one and then use other right)

[Windows Mobile] Raphael-Fan:
hi all

i want to know what are these keys and what they do?

BattSuspendTimeout

ACSuspendTimeout

BatteryTimeout

ACTimeout

... etc (similar to these)

thanks a lot friends
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
The easiest thing with those keys is just to make a change to your power settings, and see which one was changed. I can never remember which is which. Also, just set up the device with the power settings you like, and then export all the reg keys and you'll be good to go. These are the ones that I save:

It sets the backlight to 5 on battery power and 10 on AC power. The timeouts on battery are 2 min to dim and 5 to power off. On AC power, it doesn't power off (I think the two values are 30 min, or whatever the max setting is). So, you basically have 10 setting that you want cooked in. The first two are the backlight power levels, and the last 8 are for the timeouts on battery and AC power (as well as the check-boxes for whether or not you want the timeout). I've never found the dimbacklight unlockscreen value to do anything.

The keys I'd like to change are the ones in the boot.rgu for the backlight levels during startup. I've never messed with them before, because there are a bunch of them, and I don't know which is which. Mainly, I'd like to turn the backlight down during a soft reset.

Edit: I added notes for some of the keys you wanted (figured out what they did).
[Windows Mobile] TAEL:
You can edit them by Advanced Config and export your settings easily. There are some explanations also.
[Windows Mobile] ypsmav:
Would it be possible via registry to force different times for dim backlight and standby than the options which appear in settings-> System -> Power -> backligth?

Just an example the min time for dim the backlight are 30 sec, but the min time for standby is 1 min. is it possible to force both to dim and standby in a shrter time E.G: 20 secs?

Would these be the right keys?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight

BatteryTimeout: 30

ACTimeout: 60
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Yeah, you can input different choices; I haven't done it before myself, but there was a thread in Q&A a while ago where a poster was doing that.
[Windows Mobile] ypsmav:
I tried, but I couldn't force values lower than the minimum defaults. :(

I guess that I'll need to use a 3rd party solution (like S2U2) to turn the screen off quicker than the WM minimum timeouts

hey guys just flashed android on my hd2 with 2.2 nand and i dont have internet access now any sugestions
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jcalderone:
I installed WM7 on my HD2 that was running a custom 6.5 rom.

After I installed it though, WM7 keeps telling me that there isn't a lot of space. When I checked, there's only 6.5mb free. Is there a way the old ROM is still under WM7, thus taking up so much space?

I always had a ton of space on 6.5 to install apps/games/etc. (I did a "factory reset" of wm7 annnnd then it sent my phone into a never-ending bootcycle.)

So my question is, how do I wipe completely the old WM 6.5 ROM to fresh install 7 and save all of that space?

Also, my old boot image from 6.5 still shows up when 7 was booted.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Beany69:
Check your SD card. Might not be compatible.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jcalderone:
There's actually no SD card in there. I'm talking about just the straight up phone storage.

(I'm using my 16g SD card for my Android phone and don't feel like backing up/reformatting right now).
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Kailkti:
That is why. WP7 requires a sd card to be in the phone so it can use it as if it were internal storage.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jcalderone:
Oh gotcha.

If I just have my SD card inserted when I flash WP7, will it do the rest for me?

And does the SD card need to then remain in the phone for it to work properly?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
Yes, you need the sd card in there when you first boot wp7 (you don't need to reflash, just hard reset it with card in), and the card must remain in the phone anytime you have wp7 on. If you turn on wp7 without the card or take it out while booted in to wp7, you will have to restart. Also, wp7 will format and make the card only readable by wp7... you can't take the card out to use with a card reader or for anything else. It's only usable with wp7.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] nutmegy:
yea i saw somewhere that the WP7 regular phones with sd slots make the memory "expandable" but as it formats and uses it in conjunction with the nand partition it is not "removable"...

Which is why the HD2 has a couple of plus points compared to a native HD7 in which the sd card is actually hidden underneath all the casing which you cant access..
[EVO Shift 4G General] jahovah:
As I'm looking through the threads I'm seeing people getting terrific battery life. What can I do to get better battery life besides all the little tricks like cutting of gps, syncing, and back light etc? As I stated in another post I run the tunein app for 2hrs and my phone is at 20% HELP!!!:confused::confused::confused:
[EVO Shift 4G General] oboroninja:
Stop using tunein/find alternative? I'm not exactly sure what the application does but I'm sure there has to be another application that offers similar functionality in the market, that might be easier on the battery.

powered by the tears of a million orphaned alpacas...

[EVO Shift 4G General] kbrn:
I use Tunein Radio since it's one of my favorites apps and have no issues whatsoever ... I mean it's normal the battery usage since it's streaming media.
[EVO Shift 4G General] buskE46:
Turning off the 4g made the biggest difference for me.

I'm usually near wifi, and with that on all day I SOMETIMES end up w/ <60% battery at the end of the day.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jahovah:
So just kick a man while he's down why don't ya!!!:D
[EVO Shift 4G General] ttown:
Try this:

1. Do a full reset

2. Fully charge the phone. Once light is green, Let it stay unplugged for a couple of seconds, turn off the phone and plug in again. When light turns green again (may take up to an hour). Repeat until the green light appears almost instantly. This may take anywhere from 4-10 cycles.

3. Run the phone stock for one complete cycle. Don't add any apps.

4. If you have no problems, charge the phone then try adding one app then let the battery cycle again.

5. Keep adding an app after each cycle and monitor your battery consumption.

This way you can find out if the issue is your phone or the app. I know this isn't a quick fix, but it will help you dial in on the problem. I had similar problems as you before going through these steps. One of my cycles only got 2 hours of life before dying. I now get 15 hours of medium to heavy usage consistently! I am currently at 15 hours 5 minutes with 32%.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Deleted member 2173701:
why dont you stop using apps to "fix" your battery and use the internal battery monitor program to narrow down exactly whats causing your battery drain?

settings>about phone>battery>battery usage

keeps a running tab on whats been using your battery since last unplugged.

if its cell standby, that usually means you are in a place that doesnt have service too long.

display is just screen being turned on.

android system is basically stuff installed in android. such as email, surfing the web, the market, etc etc.

see what that tells you. dont cover up the problem. get down to its roots. my phone completely stock got medium usage and lasted almost 9-10 hours.
[EVO Shift 4G General] StringerE:
Good points, newkidd. Finding the root cause is critical. However, I'd like to add that just because Display or Cell Standby is the top battery user at any given point in time is not necessarily a bad thing.

For example, if you were to unplug your phone in the morning but then forget it on the kitchen table when you leave the house for the day (No, I've never done that!), you'd see that Cell Standby was the top battery user for the day. But that's expected with a properly running phone that sat all day with 0 usage.

On the other hand, if you did nothing on your phone all day but turn it on every 5 minutes to check the time and then turned it back off, then Display would be the top battery user. Doesn't mean there's something wrong with the display or settings. At least not if your battery still lasts a full day. It just means the display was on a lot.

However, if your battery is down to 20% after only 2 hours, something is definitely wrong. Tunein is a streaming audio app, right? When you use it, are you in a good 3G (or 4G) coverage area? If the phone is having difficulty keeping a strong data signal then a streaming service could definitely eat up more battery than normal. How long does your battery last when you don't use Tunein? Or have you tried using it while connected via wifi instead of cellular data?
[EVO Shift 4G General] jahovah:
I'm starting to come to the conclusion I'm in a bad coverage area when at work. I left my at home today by accident and it was still almost full battery. I haven't tried using wi-fi.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Poor reception kills your battery QUICK. My house has horrible reception and for the week I was battling the cable company over our internet (no wifi) my phone would only last a few hours. Last weekend when I was home most of the day, so using maybe 85% wifi, my battery lasted the 18.5hrs until I went to bed. And I'm a heavy user. 3 gmail accounts synced, screen at near max brightness and lots of screen on and data use.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] dtaylorr:
my work

My work as well has horrible reception. We run a lot of electronics and are next to the airport, all bad for cell signals.

I try to stream music, but it is a crap shot depending on the day.

I have an audiobook that I listened to all day, with no significant additional drain. However streaming music gets me about three or four hours.
[EVO Shift 4G General] StringerE:
I work in the middle of Houston, TX, so I should be covered by excellent 3G and 4G signal. But at my desk in a corner office, windows on 2 sides of me, on the 6th floor of a 20 floor building, I get intermittent 3G and have never gotten a 4G connection.

Although that's better than when I was on the 20th floor for about a year. My desk was right against the windows but I couldn't even get a cell signal, much less 3G (no 4G at the time). I had to put my phone on airplane mode when I got to the office or the battery would die before lunch just from trying to get a cell signal. I could change the settings to force roaming only and calls/texts would work OK, but still drained the battery quickly.

Fortunately, we have wifi at the office so I connect to that every morning now and everything works fine. It's just annoying that I can't get 4G at all. Can't get it at home either (in a house, right by the window), even though the Sprint coverage map shows that I should. I can zoom in to my address and it's in the dark blue (best available) coverage area that should mean I can get a 4G signal inside buildings - "You will be able to use 4G data inside most buildings, in a car, and outside." Nope. Not unless I stand outside.

Back on topic, a poor signal will eat the battery for lunch...
[EVO Shift 4G General] dtaylorr:

[EVO Shift 4G General] silex:
Problem is Android Market makes it way too easy to download a crap ton of of apps to the point that your phone slows to a crawl. We live in an always connected world, but this also means we need to be more aware of what and whom we interact with. Be careful out there kiddies.
[Defy General] contrem:
I have recently flashed my deft to 3.4.2-117 which i know is not downgradeable. The day after I flashed the new firmware the earpiece died so I need to send it back for a warranty repair.

My question is: is it likely that the phone will be repaired even if it's running a froyo rom?
[Defy General] Step666:
Whilst technically you voided your warranty when you flashed a non-official ROM.

But technically and what happens in real life are two different things.

There's a good chance the engineers won't check or notice whether it's Éclair or Froyo your handset is running and even if they do check/notice, there's no saying they'll realise it's an unofficial ROM and even if they realise, there's no saying they'll care.

Plenty of people have sent flashed handsets away for warranty repairs in the past with no problems, with both Motorola and other companies.
[Defy General] chaihg:
But your rom is not locked for 2.51 right. You can flash back to that and then nandroid restore.
[Defy General] Step666:
No, he can't...

You can't flash older ROMs over that one, not even other Froyo ROMs.

edit: just to clarify, if it's non-downgradeable can't flash to

older

Froyo ROMs.
[Defy General] yalouf:
i'ce just flashed with leaked uk froyo 3.4.2 version117.

so i can't flash back to 2.24 or 2.51 ? not aven to 3.4.2 version deblur 131 for exemple ??
[Defy General] Step666:
If it's non-downgradeable (you'll need to double-check this, I'm just going on what the OP has said) then no, you can't flash back to any of the Éclair ROMs.

About the only thing you could flash would be 3.42-131 as it's a newer build.
