I switched to dialer one a while back, and set it to be my default dialer. But now I can't find the default one, even tried to uninstall dialer one, but i still can't access it :(

Anyone know how to restore it?

i only use wifi, and 3G/4G on all the time, otherwise no other major settings on, no gps, etc. rooted, removed most bloatware and other programs that tend to come on by themsevles, including wifi calling has been deleted. after playing with the phone for maybe 20 min constant, sending about 10 sms, and 2 restarts i was down to 91% from a full charge....

is it really just related to being a small battery?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibemad1:
Its those 2 restarts that are doing it.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
with WiFi and 3G, Tweetdeck updating all day, background sync on, 10-20 sms, an hour or two of browsing, and an hour or so of gaming, I typically get around 12-15 hours of use out of my G2. If I pull it off the charger at 7a, I'm usually around 30-40% by 6p, which is awesome, IMO.

Yes, rebooting uses more power than other things.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:
Ok. I'm at 70% now and been using the camera and phone wifi scanning the whole time since I was not at home and a couple of calls. Flash on camera used took about 15 pix. So its not too bad I guess.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
91% isnt too bad considering you did 2 restarts. Restarts really drain a few % of battery each.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:
Well full charge overnight. Pulled at 830. Its 1pm now and I'm at 62% made 20 min of calls. Sent a few sms. Played with google voice app downloaded 3 programs chatted on google talk a bit scanned 3 barcodes took 3 pics played with a few ringtones for 5 min went thru a few emails loaded a couple of pdfs and replied to 2 emails. and was on here for 10 min.

Settings are screen turn off 15 sec. Wifi on. 3G on. Auto screen brightness. No gps no location settings on at all.

Seem pretty on par?

[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
If you remove your battery, there are three pieces of metal that connect to the three battery contacts. The center one is what is being referred to as "middle contact". The metal gets bent out of place and the battery does not connect to the phone properly. Inspect them to make sure they are all aligned and straight.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmy toad:
Hi all, my first post here, i cant help it but i am nearly 65, bald and retired !.

I treated myself to a Desire last week, un-branded, £10 month with Tescos.

I have been Rooted a few days now, i want to Flash a Rom next, but with so many out there, where do i start ?.

At a guess i do believe i should try CyanogenMOD 7 , but please bear in mind i am completely new to this Smartphone business and i am slow in picking things up, so is "CM7" a bit too much for my grey matter, or am i putting obsticles in the way that dont really exist !

I was very pleased with my faultless rooting, and i have rehearsed the Rom Flashing continuosly using Rom Manager which looks as if it does all the dirty work for me.

If there is a ROM for noobies i havent found it yet !!!!

Tim
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
You don't have to be a expert to use Cyanogenmod but i would say it's more complicated then something like Leedroid. If you flash the nonA2SD version you have nothing else to worry about, like partitioning your sd card.

One important thing to realize is that Cyanogenmod and Sense rom's are quite different, is there a particulate reason you mention Cyanogenmod? Because if there is you might as well learn how to use it from the beginning.

Also don't forget to make a nandroid (backup in rom manager) before you flash a other rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmy toad:
Hi Mr Ghost, i am well pleased somebody replied, CM7 is simply the one that crops up the most. The word Sense, does this by any chance mean HTC Sense ? so if a Rom doesnt have Sense that must mean it doesnt have many or any of the features that make my current ROM more friendly to use.

If CM7 doesnt have SENSE does that mean that the keyboard doent do Landscape mode ?

LEEDROID yeah i could have a go at that one, TA ......... i dont really want to have to partition my SD card, i read about a Goldcard if you partition etc. which doesnt sound v. good.

O yes, i found that Rom Manager Backs Up my original ROM and Wipes, does it ONLY wipe the phones memory ?

thanks for you help

tim
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Yes Sense means HTC Sense and you will lose some of the features, but not the landscape keyboard. However i would say HTC Sense makes the android introduction a bit easier and user friendly.

A goldcard is not the same as a card with a ext partition, but as long as you don't run in to space issues there is no need to partition your sd card.

Yes the wipes will only affect the phone memory, the sd card is untouched. Contacts are backed up with gmail but stuff like apps, sms, wireless settings ect is lost unless you back them up yourself. (Titanium backup)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmy toad:
Thanks, so it is LEEDROID for starters thanks buddy, i still dont know what a Goldcard is though, perhaps i dont need to know LOL.

One small problem, LEEDROID isnt available in the list of roms in Rom Manager, i suppose i shall have download it "manually" and get it in the relevant Rom Manager Folder, great sorted i

should

be able to do that.

I have Titanium Backup Pro as well so its best if i Backup "All user apps" that should be sufficient, yeah ? and itll be no good Backing up ANYTHING ELSE, becuase if restored it would mess up LEEDROID, am i correct with that assumption ?

tim
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Yes i would say start with Leedroid.

Best thing is to only back up user apps, i never back up anything else. Most likely it will mess something up.

The goldcard is only needed when using a RUU with branded devices, for normal flashing you don't need one.

Just download the Leedroid noA2SD version and put in on your sd, not in any folder just on the sd. Then in rom manager go to install rom form sd and find the zip file.

Edit: looks like the site went down, here's another link. http://db.tt/FBKcMZD
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmy toad:
Thanks for that info pal, youre a star.

I havent seen any mention on this site (although i havent searched for it yet) of the battery not lasting very long, however, off topic i suppose, and you can bollock me for that if you like,:-

for internet on my Desire at home i always use my home WiFi, my off topic question is, does WiFi take more out of the battery than using my Providers GSM/WCDMA connection ? i have hardly made a dent on my Providers Data allowance.

tim
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
What uses more power depends a bit on how strong your 3g signal is, if it's weak it will probably use more power on mobile data and if it's strong, wifi will use more data but this is no gonne make a significant difference on your battery life.

Usually the battery life gets better after some time, also let your battery drain once until the phone powers itself off and then charge it, while it's off, till it's full. Then use it normally again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmy toad:
Absolutely brilliant Pal, thanks for sticking with me answering my questions for the last hour or two, it was really good of you thanks.

I will definitely try that with my battery next time it needscharging up, thanks.

I will report back tommorrow whether or not i still have a fully functioning phone, LOL. i feel far more confident about "doing it" now, afterall i'm not likely to be "doing it" with anything else ROFL !!!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmy toad:
phew i had difficulty in locating the file, i eventually found the Leedroid Rom here

http://leedroid.com/bravo-roms

I also saw a "radio" file for the same Rom, dam, i have downloaded the latest version and will put it on my SD card the same place as the Rom file in the ROOT directory.

Until i got an Android Phone, i had

only

used Windows in all it's various versions, of course in Windows, the word ROOT simply means the Top (or bottom?) of the Folder Tree ;)

but of course the same word can mean several hundred pounds when getting it wrong :D

PS.. do i need to do anything with this extra feature:-

•Re-added “Mod install location” to No A2SD build•

Tim
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Root of the sd means not in a folder.

If you are currently on android 2.2 there is no real need to change radio. If you do change radio make sure you are absolutely sure what you are doing.

And you shouldn't have anything to do regarding the mod installation location.

Backup your sd first, and remember to make an external partition if you want it to work with any a2sd rom! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmy toad:
Hey, yeah i used the NON A2SD version and i must say it was very easy, i already had the market version of A2SD pro anyway, which works very well, if it causes so much more extra bovver, having to Partition the SD Card !, with the A2SD included in the Rom, why bother ?

What is the advantage, if any, of having this App on a Rom ?

tim
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williamj1:
No you misunderstand. To get more storage, there are several methods on android.

You get a froyo rom, which allows moving apps to the sd card. However not all of these apps can be moved over, and it is just the app data that is moved.

Method 2 is rooting and flashing a ROM which supports A2SD / A2SD+. This is very different from the apps to sd found on stock froyo. This allows pretty much all apps to be moved, and also moves things like the devlik cache and so on to the sd. It offers far superior storage to stock. For example on stock froyo with apps moved to sd, I can instal maybe 30 apps before I run out of memory. By contrast, I currently have over 100+ installed with A2SD running GingerVillain custom ROM with 64.9mb internal memory remaining.

I'm not the best at explaining things. Check out this FAQ, should answer all your questions.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmy toad:
Thanks for that buddy, i've got LEEDROID without A2SD, you have explained with A2SD extremely well, and in a way i can understand, although i can move a lot of Apps to my SD Card, i have noticed i cannot move all of them !, I learn summat everyday. thanks.

tim
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williamj1:
Yup definately worth upgrading to get more storage. Backup apps with titanium backup or mybackup root, then flash a2sd enabled rom, if N1 table user type scripts to enable in terminal and then restore apps. Simples :)

Use search and do not post in threads which have nothing to do with your question.
[Captivate General] redger725:
I've been lurking these threads for a couple of months. Got tired of waiting for AT&T. So I took the plunge and flashed Firefly 2.2. I'm really liking the experience so far.

I did have one minor hiccup after flashing, but I figured it out. After flashing firefly I noticed that the Ext filesystem is not installed by default. So after installing I booted into clockwork and selected the options for converting to ext4. That seemed to go ok, but after I rebooted, I did not have su privileges anymore. I finally figured out that the clockwork recovery had an option to apply root privileges. Everything has been good after that.

[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Bricking usually occurs when the flash is interrupted, like in the event that you pull the cable in the middle of the flash. I've actually never had a bad flash so far, and the vast majority of bad flashes can be recovered from by dropping into download mode (either with the three button combo or a physical jig).

You should check to see if your phone has the three button combo, since some of the builds have it disabled for whatever reason. You can find the build number under the battery, it's a 4 digit number like 1008.
[Captivate General] lyrad12:

Well I'm not quite there yet, but I'm REAL close.

Still have a couple of lingering questions about the whole process.

I'm rooted, flashed CWM, and have backed-up my current stock ROM. I've done a general app/data bu with Titanium.

Haven't ever done any sideloading related changes (the sqllite/ADB setting change thing), and I'm not sure if that affects how thorough the titanium bu was, or whether the sideloading thing will need to be done post-flash for titanium to completely restore my stuff.

I still haven't done all the requisite reading on the whole flashing process, but will do so as I get closer.

Encouraging results from other first-timers in this thread are certainly pushing me in the right direction. ;-)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Yep. All Sense based ROMs will work with 4G enabled. CM7 natively doesn't have 4G but there is a version of CM7 called gginggerbread-6 in the development section that has working 4G.

As for battery life, it depends on your phone. You will have to test that yourself. Make sure you calibrate your battery properly and test it for a week. It is based on the ROM, kernel and overclock/underclock settings, and your usage. So its pretty daunting. My suggestion is once you find a good working kernel and ROM, stick with it for battery life.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SubnetMask:
How do you dump an image of the phone's ROM to a file, and is it flashable via Odin when you dump it? If it is not Odin flashable, how do you make it so it can be flashed with Odin?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDub:
99% sure this isn't possible.

Closest you will get is doing a backup with ClockWork and then you can restore it to bring the phone back to the identical state it was when you made the backup.

You could probably dump the /system and make a .zip to get a flashable zip file but that's about it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SubnetMask:
So how do we get the flashable files, such as "SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar" that we can flash via Odin? My main issue with CWM is for when I'm messing with other ROMS. To date, despite clearing all caches and data multiple times, I've never been able to do a CWM restore without first Odin flashing the base system (Stock DI18 or DK28). Every time I've backed up (say DI18) with CWM, flashed DK28, decided to go back to my original DI18, it would never restore right. It would only do so if I first Odin'ed the stock DI18, then restored the backup.

I'd love to be able to dump my own Odin flashable backup for these purposes.

Now if CWM was a full Nandroid backup that completely re-flashed the ROM top to bottom, that would be different.
