Is it ok to use Android's desk clock ? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I mean will the screen be affected much if it stayed on ( but very dim) all night? Will it reduce it's lifetime? Or will it cause problems to any of the device's hardware?
Any advice is appreciated.

I use it all the time and haven't had a problem. The phone doesn't get hot or anything. I couldn't see it being part of the Android OS if it would damage something.

Thanks, Finally I can use it without being anxious .
I thought I would harm my screen or something, But now no worries

This this problem pretty much only refers to CRT screens which I doubt mobiles have ever used!

[Q] HTC Desire-Z boot speed

I dunno if you've seen it but it starts in about the time it takes my legend to turn the screen on. Anyhoo
Do we reckon it would be possible to put this kind of thing on other phones (Namely our Legend)? It's called HTC Fast boot; so would it be possible to, when they're released, port the stuff in the ROM that does this? Or not? Or anything even close?
It's very early to tell, but if they'll release to other phones (like Desire) there's a very very good chance it's possible.
For what it's worth I don't think the boot time for our Legends is bad at all. I'm satisfied with it.
Yeah, but faster is (nearly) always better
Watch second video, you can see how fast is boot speed! F*** yeah . This is what we need for legend!

My only worry is that there's some stuff going on there that's not ROM related. Maybe bootloader tinkering; who knows?
From CoolSmartPhone.com (note the last couple of sentences):
Oh, and that boot time is a whole lot quicker too according to HTC. We did give this a test after being told that the device could turn back on in "less than 10 seconds". We tested it and it actually did it in less than 5 seconds, but it seems that there's some clever "suspend" technology going on when you tell the devices to power off from the GUI as, when we popped the battery out to try a complete "cold boot" it took the normal amount of time. We're guessing that this will still be brilliant though, especially if you've had the phone powered off whilst asleep or during a flight.

Yea.. I had a feeling that it was likely to be a suspend. This does, however, make it more likely to be ported to other phones...
No. Not. At. All.

For what it's worth, I played on the Desire HD (and Z) last night as I went along to the HTC event. The boot speed IS very impressive, but it's a nice to have, not a "need to have".
Some people were overly impressed with the boot speed, some not impressed at all. Afterall, there is more to a phone that how fast it manages to boot up .

[Q] What DOESN'T work?

Might seem like a silly question, but i figure i can get more concrete answers if i ask the question as directly as possible:
Is there anything that a droided HD2 can't do that a native android phone can? Are there any glitches on a droided HD2 which may never be solved?
Thanks in advance.
only 1: ............................HD-tv out
Also the hd2s touch screen is nowhere near as good as newer android devices. It can only register 2 touches and if they are near the same axis line, they will register on the same line. Newer android phones can register 4 or more touches.

You can't join WLAN when SSID isn't Broadcasting.
some Workarounds for this, but on my HD2 nothing was working.

This seems to depend on the build. The SSID at my work doesn't broadcast and it works fine with some builds and not at all with others.
The touchscreen issue has nothing to do with software, it is a hardware limitation found on the Nexus One and HTC Desire. The Desire and HD2 probably have the same screen, size being the only difference. So there is no 'fix' as this is not software related.
What about battery, is it the same as in Windows Mobile?

No, the battery is nowhere as good as in winmo... you can maybe get close to the same standby time in android, but you have to shut down all unnecessary things and downclock the processor. You will have to shutdown wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, etc, while with winmo you can have similar standby time with all that on.
When actually using the phone, android can eat your battery very quickly. Battery is nowhere near as good as winmo or a native android phone during use.
But you can't expect a port to run as smooth or power efficient as a native os. The hd2 android port is a lot better than android ports for other winmo devices, except maybe the Vogue's port, which is as close to finished as they can probably get it... but it's still a port done by a small group of developers for free, so it's going to have its issues.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
well, the battery is nice, even without setcpu or similar apps.
im using android full time on my hd2 since a week now, and it eats a little bit more juice than winmo, but i guess if i would set my internet connection off, like i do it on winmo, i woudl get the same battery life... (even with playing games and stuff)
only thing i still dont like is that my hd2 gets pretty hot after a time.. but i realized that my nexus got hot aswell, just not that fast..
it seems to be normal that androids get hot Oo
rawr, hot droids >=) XD
EDIT: i forgot to say, my android lasts about 1-2days, my winmo 1-3days

[Q]Is My Phone Broken?

hi its about my HD2.
about 5days ago my phone droped from my hand and felt on ground ! ceramics !
after that my phone hangs after playing anygame even 2D games !!!!
well games are no problem i thinks its from CPU or the cooling system it got cause when i play phones temp. goes higher and higher and screen freezez in game and i cant do a thing only pulling out the battery and w8 around 2-3minutes to make phone chill out and its temp goes lower then plug the battery and turn the phone on !
any way to fix it ? or any hint ?
anything would be great ! thanks alot !
Have you tried reflashing it starting with a task29? This way you can rule out it being a software issue and focusing on how to fix the hardware issue.
When it fell it probably broke something in the circuitry...i doubt software has anything to do with it...
Warranty perhaps?

[Q] A500 Lag During Charging

Hello all, I have 1 issue with my A500. Only during charger plug in, my tab become super lag. This problem started when I doing overclock using flexreaper extreme.
Tried to flash new kernel from eztery, upgrade bootloader to v8, and flash lightspeed ics rom. None of these works as I still have this problem. Even on recovery screen, my tab is not responsive when charger plugged in.
I don't know what caused this. Is anyone having the same problem? Please help.
im on the same but no probs while charging, maybe titanium backup,. nandroid and wipe all and re-install flexreaper
actually i've tried that already. Real format and wipe all and flash different rom and kernel. Strangely it just heppen while charging. Do you think this is hardware problem?

i think it must be as ive never read anything about this anywhere before did it do this when you was stock?
I never have this when on stock. Even after on flexreaper for few months also no problem. This only happen after upgrade to flexreaper extreme with OC. Weird.
have you clocked it back to 1ghz? might help you out? im not really sure dud srry
Does your tablet have a loud screen whine while it charges? Mine has been doing that for sometime now...

def take it back and get a replacement that's a hardware flaw another member posted about that then eventually his tab died and wouldnt charge up, if i was you matey i would take it back asap to show them the whining sound so they cannot say you did something to break it, plus you'll have that noted down incase they dont do anything and it then does break.

Mine have no sound while charging. It charge the battery as usual. Only the tab become less responsive and typing using on-screen keyboard is a headache.

Tried that already, still have problem. I can minimize the problem by increasing the minimum frequency to 600+MHz.
The whine could also be capacitors (if any) on the logic board that are about to burst or something. Or something is overloaded and getting stressed out.
I don't believe its lag. The switching power supply causes some touch screens (such as mine) to become less sensitive requiring much harder finger presses

Bingo. You are right. I just realize that. It is actually less sensitive. Do you have any idea how to solve it?

If it worked on other versions, just flash back to what worked before or back to ota for real proof. You said it worked till you changed software, so change back and prove it's not hardware.

I found some weird results by making a circuit. Try touching the tab with one finger and a laptop track pad with another. There's a tingle. I think it's a design defect internally - perhaps the screen assembly is touching something it shouldn't be. So in terms of a solution, I don't believe there is one, unless there's a way to earth the screen?

I have once dissemble the back cover. I'm not sure whether this is where the problem started. But I don't have this problem initially. Something is wrong with my device, just don't know where's the problem come from. I might touch something causing short circuit or something.
Tried flashing the stock ROM and still no luck. I don't think its a software issue.

My tablet hasn't been opened and it still has this problem but not always. It hasn't done it recently.
I'm sure it's not a software thing but for the record I'm on Thor's ROM

Today I noticed something. I do have this problem when charging at my office. Looks like this issue only happen at certain wall plug. It happen at my house but not my office. Could be something with grounding.

Perhaps it is to do with the consistency of the power supply. My house is pretty old so I suppose there would be more voltage variation. When I get home I'll try and find a spare surge protector and see if it stops the issues. The actual existence of the issues is pretty sporadical though. There is no clear answer to this.
I do think you're onto something though

My N4's clock goes so fast

I've just bought a N4 without guaranty.
Everything runs OK except the clock. It goes faster than normal, about 30 extra minutes every 15 hours. No matter if I set it automatic or manual.
It is rooted and with Purity\franco rom\kernel mix but it didn't even fix it.
Is there any internal hardware module which controls the clock?
Is it just the clock or the entire system .. like .. do games run faster? Does the typing "cursor" blink faster? Does it happen on stock?

It happens on stock toó.
I'll check with the timer and see what happens...
Nevertheless I haven't noticed anything strange but the clock's issues.

Just checked the timer and it runs about 2 seconds faster than normal.

It looks like it's the whole system. We used to have this issue back in the early days on the HTC HD2, flashing a different kernel solved it. But since you said it happens on different kernels AND on stock, I'm not sure what could be the culprit.
Have you tried complete stock? (stock everything with locked bootloader)
I don't know, I'm just suggesting... Sorry... I hope you get it fixed.

I wont advice slowing the whole system down just because of your clock.
The absolute worst I can think about it the internal clock crystal is a bit off (hardware-faulty) and will be replaced under warranty if you still have it.
- Im sorry, forgot that you dont have warranty anymore
A few things:
Have you bought it 2nd-handed?
If yes:
Did the previous owner have the same problem?
Did the previous owner flash any software?
In what condition did you receive your N4? (cracked screen? fall damage? water damage?)
If no:
You should still have warranty I believe
If it did came out of the box with this problem; go back to your seller, explain your problem and work out some kind of fix
Dont get me wrong, its probably a software problem somewhere, but some of the above might help finding the problem
Actually I bought it as a faulty and without warranty device (80$). It's been manipulated (cracked and fixed screen) so it has no warranty.
Nevertheless, it runs absolutely great.
What do you mean with internal clock crystal?
Thanks for your help!
