[HD2 General] Kailkti:
Depends on what you're doing with your hd2.

If you spend a lot of time on the internet with either wifi or 3g, then that drains battery pretty quickly, as with any device. Playing games or watching videos is the same thing, although to a hiigher extent with games. Keeping the phone screen on is also one way to drain battery quickly.

You should install current widget and monitor your standby times, etc. In standy by, your phone should be consuming 4~6 mA ideally.
[HD2 General] Zephyrot:
If you want to monitor your battery usage, first download and install CurrentWidget, enable logging while the phone is on standby to see your standby usage.

Second, need to check battery usage on standby after a call, there are some kernels with a known bug that prevents the phone from going to sleep, consuming 60ma on standby.

Third, Do a battery calibration, it does help a lot if you have never calibrated your battery, android tend to mess up battery reading after a while of not being calibrated. There's a thread about in on forums, search for it, REALLY good info there.

Fourth! check out if you are in a zone with crappy 3G, if the phone has to turn 2g/3g off and on too often it drains battery like whoa.

Fifth, take note of max and min voltage readings with CurrentWidget, your battery might by wearing out (should be maxing at 4.2v and min around 3.3v - 3.6v depending on kernel).

Another thing, before your phone dies, check out battery usage on Settings, see if any program is eating your battery, and check out how long has your screen been on, and post it here :)

I've always had WAY better battery in Android, even SD, than WMo, MSN/push email killed battery in WMo in about 6 hours, without use, just standby. Android get up to 4 days in standby with Gtalk/Gmail/Exchange Mail, all on Push, along with weather and twitter. With hardcore usage, the battery last between 6 and 7 hours top (Screen on for 4-5 hours), while Gaming, it wont last more than 4 hours (CPU at 100%, Screen always on, GPU at 100%, Brightness 100%).

Normal usage (between 40 mins and 1 hour of Google Maps with GPS on, between 3 and 4 hours of music thru Bluetooth with my car, 10-15 mins talking, about 20-30 SMSs and quite a bit of Gtalk) it makes it thru the day, lasting about 12-14 hours.

Such a low battery life is probably cause your phone is not going to sleep, it should be at 2-5 mah on standby.

Hope it helps :)
[HD2 General] kangpeter:
I can play an hour of pokemon (gba rom), listen to pandora whenever im in the car, surf the net for an hour or two, and with a total constant usage of about 5 hours, and at the end of the day ill be left with 30% battery still.

If I don't use it often it will last 40 hours +.

Maybe try a different nand rom?

Im running hyperdroid nand

Zephyrot and kangpeter, Im jealous of your battery life. I'll try what was posted. Thanks for the replies!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] islandreamer:
I get some emails with jpeg files in them. If I want to view them, in K9 it gives a choice to view or save. I can not view because the only two programs that it gives me the choice of are rockplayer and esvideo player. If I save then I can open with picture viewer. Is there to set the default for jpeg files to be the program of my choice?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
All defaults are handled from here: [Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage Applications] and you click on the application. Once in you can click "Clear defaults" if any are set.

However, sounds like nothing is set to default cause it is giving you a choice. Not sure where the stock picture viewer is but might try dl a viewer from the market then selecting it as default for those type of files. Should work then.

I'm using K9 as well and pictures open up fine without having to save them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] islandreamer:
Most do just ones that jpeg it is recognized as a video rather than a picture. Have a viewer will look to see if it gives me a choice of extensions to choose from. I tried opening it with the native email program and it opened fine just not with K9.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nswenson:
I had the Evo and the camcorder and camera quality was terrible. They advertise 8MP camera and 720P video, but if you compare the pictures and video to an Iphone4 you'll see it's no where near the quality for clarity, sound quality, low light, etc. I've been scouring the net looking for tests of the Thunderbolt camera/camcorder and cannot find anything. I suspect that it is exactly the same as the Evo's. Anyone have any details?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
What makes the iPhone better isn't the camera, its the hdr effect
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 06ms6:
Nah, I have the iPhone4 and before the update that added HDR (which stores both versions of pictures so you can compare) it was better than my EVO, especially the video. I'm probably going to be picking up the Thunderbolt so this is a curiosity for me as well, though it's not a dealbreaker.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whetzel:
I have been asking myself this very question.

I'm kind of expecting the quality to be very similar, if not the same, as the Inspire 4G.

Both phones are very similar (in hardware design anyway) and are being released fairly close to one another.

I've actually seen a few videos floating around on youtube and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the video that the Inspire takes compared to my Dinc.

Having said that, the audio still needs some work, but I don't think that the Inspire has a noise canceling mic like the Thunderbolt has so I'm really hoping that the sound is much better on the Thunderbolt.

Only time will tell.

Yeah looks very slick and with SkyDrive integration only major thing I want now is a better navigation app and direct to outlook sync (no cloud junk).

cool looks great.... faster spped, multi tasking and sky drive support as well...cant wait to see it in action on my hd7...
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
i dont get you.... do you know that most of the users dont care about those things will be updated as to them a phone is a phone and as a phone my HD7 is better then any other phone in the market...

if i give my phone to my 80 year old dad he will be able to use it as its simple and easy to use....

i think MS have done a great job in finally creating a simple user friendly mobile OS... and the best of all it do not hang or lag...
[Windows Phone 7 General] kwill:

[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I actually really like the cloud based services, and there was once a time I hated them. The convenience is just so remarkable that I don't think anything else can come close. I remember a time when I thought the bluetooth sync was the greatest thing that happened to my WinMo device because it took me away from a USB cable... Then I was given an exchange access and my life changed forever lol... I don't think I ever want direct sync again... The cloud has become my home.

[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Again, most of you fail to realize that implementing HTML5 and Silverlight are Microsoft projects. Flash on the other hand is an Adobe project, one they would need to code and supply for the OS. As much as I'd like to have it, it isn't a deal breaker to be completely honest, and I hope that HTML5 has caught on a lot more by then... I already read somewhere that Flash 10.2 is coming to our phones 'soon.'
[Windows Phone 7 General] janemanno1:
Yeah I think within a year of its initial crippled released WP7 will shape to be a very good mobile os. The signs are good so far but all MS needs to do is relate and communite with their user base better.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
I don't know what happened, but I can no longer mount the SD card via USB. I've spent half the afternoon trying to fix the drivers, and I end up in the exact same place I was before.

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and CyanogenMod 6 RC2 on the phone. I have ADB set up and, to my knowledge, the drivers for it are working. ADB devices recognized my phone.

When I try to mount the SD card, the phone shows "USB storage in use," but it doesn't show up on my computer. Normally I get a little popup asking if I want to open the folder to view files. In Device Manager, it shows a little warning on USB Mass Storage Device which I believe is the phone. If I right-click and go to Properties, is says "This device cannot start. (Code10)" (see first thumbnail).

Here's the weird part: If I boot into recovery and select to mount the storage card, it will mount (see second thumbnail).

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Did you try it with a different card? Or this card in card reader? You have to rule out simple things first, like weird card corruption.

Well, after numerous cycles of uninstalling and attempting to reinstall the drivers, I still had no idea what the problem was. I uninstalled all the drivers and ran a utility on my PC to clean and fix problems in the registry. I rebooted it and then plugged the phone in. It installed the drivers and now both ADB and USB storage work.

Strange thing is, I don't see an entry for Android ADB Interface in the device manager any more. I see Android USB Drivers and the USB Mass Storage though, so I guess that's all it needs.

alternatively you can install Team Viewer on your pc and then their app on your tab and you now have full access to your pc remotely.

LogMeIn Ignition

TeamViewer is a great tool but it is crazy expensive (Over $900). Since I need it for work I decided to use LogMeIn Ignition which is less than $40. I don't miss any features TeamViewer may have had as LogMeIn has everything I use. It's great and it's affordable. I highly recommend to folks to buy and PAY for apps rather than use free versions if you can so you can help support the developers and/or companies that will continue to make good apps for our Android OS. I felt $40 was fair and $900 was just plain crazy.

First of all: Thank you daveba for your great work! ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=766569 ).

I've got a Desire Z and installed Cyanogenmod 6.1.1.

With the usual settings of redsocks the packets were send again and again to it. So I had to insert the iptables rule

iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT 1 -d <my proxy ip> -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

to send the packets to my proxy directly to it.

(My proxy listens to port 80/tcp only no matter which protocol (http,https) )

After that all ( browser, Google Market, youtube... ) apps but Google Maps worked.

With the compiled transproxy from http://transproxy.sourceforge.net all but the downloads in Google Market worked. (I considered the ports 80, 443 and 5228. )

Has someone the same problems with these tools and knows how to fix it?
