If your Brand-X car charger is conformed with USB port, then surely it will have 5V output. That's the USB Standard! But the charging rate maybe lower than 0.5A or EXCEEDING 0.5A! So you can surely use it to charge your phone, but maybe charge your phone at slower rate. If it exceed 0.5A charging rate, then it is a RISK to your phone!!!

"DC5.0V ± 0.5A", you sure boh? why got ± on current output?

I have compared with the wall-plug charger, the car charger, USB/MP3-to-FM car dongle and laptop USB port, the wall-plug charger has charging current about 0.6A, but the car charger only at around 0.35A. USB/MP3-to-FM car dongle around 0.2A, and my laptop's USB port can only charge around 0.25A. The discharge rate however, is around 0.2A with backlight on. Our battery is 1350mAh, or 1.35Ah, so if I left the backlight always on, then it would last only about 6.5 hours. If I use USB/MP3-to-FM, I can't really charge the phone at all while GPS-ing!

Just maths

thanks maesus for the lengthy and detail explanation!

btw, i don't mind if my car charger couldn't charge while GPS-ing, as long as it doesn't drain my battery and use the connected charger current.

hey got a quick question. Can i just copy and paste avi files into the phone and watch it without converting?...

i heard that touch hd having problem of where it always hung.
is this true?

anyone know how to flash rom

it's really depends on your usage... if you have overloaded it simultaneously with heavy application, it might cause the OS halted, typical Ms. Windows characteristic...

alternatively, u can choose to flash to some self-customised (home cooked) ROM by lot of enthusiasts fella out there, some of those customised ROM have optimising on the memory management in the HD.

actually not just MS, any heavy duty phone has the same problem, even iphone. its recommended to soft reset once a day to get rid of bad memory blocks. if u let your PC on 24 hours, lag right? lol

Gabriel,
I am using Dutty 2.2 Extreme cooked ROM, and customize further to my personal usage, taste and satisfaction. It is by far the most stable ROM with Manila3D v2. But again, it is Microsoft OS - Windows Mobile. What can you expect from Microsoft?? Luckily WM6.1 didn't have BSOD, but occasionally you will still have program hang, crash, cannot run etc, but a reboot or soft-reset gets the way going.

zidane, AVI is just the "encapsulation" for the video file. The video format is encoded with specific video codec like XVID, DIVX, MPEG4, H.264 etc... Your Touch HD must have the respective video codec/decoder installed in order to playback the AVI files. Most AVI files downloaded from the net are of MPEG4 variant like DIVX or XVID, and the WM players like CorePlayer can support playback of these video content. So you'll have higher chance to just copy over AVI and playback on Touch HD.

I tried copy H.264 AVI file into HD, but it can't play.

why dont u convert the avi first with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112

it never turn me down

So after converted is it the file size smaller? Did the quality gone? Thanx for the software.

dont thanks me.. it has been in the xda forum for quite some time.. the file will be converted to 480x800 resolution to fit your touch hd wvga screen.. i convert an anime video originally from 170mb to 119mb and the quality remains..

Can anyone tell me what is the best setting for camera and video bocs it totally suck when taking or filming video....thanks in advance..

Wah, i convert 800mb avi file, it take me 9 hours. After converted, i got no sound on the video file but i convert another 3mb avi file, it working fine.

yup, larger files will need more time to convert. i converted 2 movies last time without problem. maybe u can google up some more and find other alternatives.

anyone here using the Davideuck V6 can advise me on this problem?

- the calendar on the HOME screen won't refresh. e.g. i hv appointment today, so, i see that appointment as "Tomorrow 1200-1400" yesterday before 12pm, the Home screen still display "Tomorrow 1200-1400" today, it goes back to normal after i restart the HD...

please advise...

Bend3r, probably you should check the thread in XDA about Davideuck ROM...I'm using Dutty's 2.3 ROM, playing with the latest Manila / Rhodium/Topaz ROM stuffs...

I switched to davideuck from dutty 1.8, nvr encountered this in dutty rom. maybe should try out dutty 2.3...

I'm being using Davideuck_V-3_HP for almost two days and most of the bugs in new manila (like duration) are solved.

I dont like the New Start Menu and I overwrite with "Enlarge Menu" cab and now I'm starting to enjoy the
new manila.

How is the Dutty v2.3? Is it using new start Menu?

BTW, I just found HD_ManillaMods from mun_rus, very cool...all your background has the screen saver pic.

Hi Daneva,

Both Davideuck V-3 and Dutty 2.3 are using the same manila, yup! the start menu become the program menu in previous manila version, which i feel not that "convenience" to access the WinMo settings/Programs, on the other hand, as i mentioned in the earlier posting, the new manila will make more non-pda literal ppl feel easy and not "painful" for them...

btw, plan to flash to Davideuck V-3 to comparison with dutty's 2.3...
