Hi guys,
i have just put alot of things on my HTC HD2, like cookie home tab, loads of games, apps, and also tweak the registry to make the phone run smoother faster etc. I do have the extended battery and even with that running programs does drink the battery.
Is there tweaks or something i can do to get the phone to not use so much battery when program's running etc, or would you have to tweak programs individually??
Cheers
Shane

Is it possible with wm6.5 to run a windows video file as the background? Can someone make an app that loops a windows video that displays as the background image?
Positive constructive answers would be greatly received.
I dont think you'd want that. It would KILL your battery
Don't Care
It would look fr'gin' cool. Any Who buys a Diamond Expecting long battery life anyway?

Not only would it drain your battery but im pretty sure it would use fair bit of RAM.

hi all, i'm new here.
currently i am using Nokia N73, and i plan to buy a new phone soon.
based on my needs, i've made a preliminary decision - it's gonna be an omnia II i8000.
however, before i buy it i would like to hear as much user opinions as possible.
so, if users of this phone would be so kind to answer a few questions:
1.) are you satisfied with touch screen response?
2.) are you satisfied with phone operating speed?
3.) approximately how long your battery lasts?
4.) are you satisfied with sound level over speaker?
5.) are you satisfied with sound level over headphones (let's say i want to listen to music in a bus; will it be loud enough)?
6.) is it true that stylus leaves scratches on display?
7.) is it true that only 151MB od internal memory are reserved for installing apps/games; the rest is only for personal files (photos/videos/music)?
8.) is there something else i haven't mentioned that you think is a downside of this phone?
9.) your general opinion on omnia II i8000.
thanks in advance!

3 to 5 days according to how much I browse the net (light phone usage, some internet, ebook reading, email synch every 30 minutes, some bt headset every day while driving. Not mentioning GPS 'cause whenever I use the navigator I always connect it to the car charger)

Yes, after creating my personal ringtones... stock ones are not too loud

most apps can be installed on the other available memory too, be it the internal additional one or the storage card... only some applications really needs to be installed on main device memory...

Could have used more ram, but I can live with it... it's not like I need to run a zillion apps at the same time anyway lol

I'm satisfied. I've had a HP6515, an Eten M700, an Omnia I and now the Omnia II and I don't regret buying it. It can do everything I need it to do without problems. Just, like any other windows mobile device, it could require some tweaking and configuring to make it run the best way according to your needs... but this is, as I said, common to every windows mobile device.

There was only one previous question about this issue, but no replies!
I was thinking of something like the HTC deskclock but working as a typical screensaver, i.e. it runs when the screen is off.
Any suggestion?
Astro
I dont think many people would use this.. As it is, most smartphone users are looking to increase their battery life, and the single biggest battery drain is having the screen on. Ontop of that, Live Wallpapers, and in extension screensavers, tend to use battery power like mad since they are constantly re-drawing the graphics. Docks (like cradle and car docks) are only useful cause they are general plugged in when in use.
The only way I could see them being semi-useful, is if you set your backlight brightness to very dim which would save you most of the screen on power loss, but you'd still suffer from the constant redraw and processing power.
A screensaver is (and that is not my opinion but a fact) probably the most useless peace of software that can be running on a smartphone (for arguments see the previous post )
Thanks for the replies.
However, a low consumption dim clock would make a great addition to android phones and would be a useful tool for the ones using their phones as watches as I do. I never meant to ask for a flashy screensaver such as the ones you find on computers.

That's still going to use up your screen and CPU. As previous posters suggested, it is not recommended, unless you want your juice to run out before you even manage to come from work. However maybe 'Digital Clock' does something similar that you need?
I believe it IS possible! All you need is to set the screen refresh rate to 1/60 a second, make it go to minimal brightness, make the text cover as small area as possible, make it grey, dark grey, and add the refresh cycle to the cycle where it checks for some regularities, like cell signal.

You can't do that. At least not without modifying the kernel...
And what is blocking you from doing that?

Google's API. If you mean kernel, then nothing, apart from the warranty grey area.

Don't forget the fact that you need some knowledge on the subject in order to actually do anything about it.

Very true indeed...
Any one knows application that shows battery percentage on mainscreen (homescreen), or other battery info.. ? Or this is not developed yet.?
Thanks in advance

That's what i really want it. i little thing but very helpful
I was looking for the same thing but from the reading I've done on it, Microsoft has not included an API for this function yet in wp7, that's why no apps exist to do this just yet.

Read the thread title and OP, we're after percentage, not an icon as it's not accurate enough
I have on my HD2 WP7 full with activation key blablabla...but all i want to say about this O.S. that is SUCKS...I love my phone with Android...I miss that battery percentage, Current Widget and alot of apps games..i'm going back to android...!

I did the same went back to a custom rom with android loading from sd card. I've done the CWM and it ran very good but I just prefer the ability to go back to win mob if I ever need to.
for me the guys done a great job on this (beta) build which is awesome but it seems very drab and plain compared to all the other builds that this great phone can have on it.

QFE, we should all go to the Android forum to say how it is bloated (for me at least) and how much WP7 beats it to the ground.
But we won't, will we, we are gentlemen!

i guess its all about personal preference. i have WP7 on my HD2. simply put its clean,fast and amazing. battery consumption seems to be very good. though android is still the best in terms of flexibility/ease of use. i wouldn't sacrifice the OS for a mere battery percentage.
Install HTC Battery Tool and it will tell you the exact remaining battery along with all info you may ever want to know about your battery and much more
Go into setting and turn digital wellbeing usage off then go to all apps data usuage tracking and click on show system apps then turn off all of them that you do not need on then go disable the built in Facebook app... And youuuu come back here and tell me that that your phone now has amazing battery and no more performance jitters/laggs ... its mad.. even my built in apps open without that nano second of loading up..tryyyy ittt..... if you dont see a difference turn them back on..but for me i can see it and feel it
I dont see anywhere to turn it off

yes there was already news reported about the app on the pixel's and that it was actually slowing them down, so i would imagine any phone that has this installed would have the same results.

What else can we turn off that can help the device's performance and battery? Besides turning off the device off course. Lol.

I don't have the option to turn digital wellbeing's usage data permission wtf
Edit: I have successfully uninstalled digital wellbeing through adb, hope it was worth the while. I didn't use it like at all but I enjoyed seeing it there
i'm amazed by the amount of positive feedback but can someone post a simpler guide. i really wish to try this out.
