Until the Next Release

Helmi,

I just wanted to congratulate you on this magnificent rom. Unfortunately, I have decided to go back to wm2003 (at least for now :wink: ) due to the fact that this rom was brutally draining my battery (2400 mAh). Moreover, without M$ Voice Command being functional... well, let's just say that I depend on it a little too much :oops:

At any rate, I will be looking forward to the next release. One thing worth mentioning is that after having the rom installed for one full week, it did slow down quite a bit and starting crashing a little more often. Just yesterday, I had to soft reset about 3 times in 15 minutes! From there, I also found a weird bug. After soft reset, the phone might or might not start randomly. The bootscreen version numbers on the radio and ext.rom display "None" occasionally, which can easily be solved by doing another soft reset. Like I said, I thought it was a bug worth mentioning.

Smaller bugs include skipping at the beginning of a song in TCPMP and ActiveSync in the BA thinking it is connected when it is not even craddled.

That is my report, and my request for the next version is that if you can make the battery life longer, I guess I can learn to live without M$ VC (although a fix for it wouldn't be a bad thing :wink: )

Hopefully, this gives you a little direction and hopefully my role as a beta tester helped out (at least a little).

Thanks for all your efforts and keep it up!!!! We are all counting on you!

Next release.... when???

Helmi, we all know that you are always busy with your work. And we all know that cooking rom also takes a lot of time....

Concerning to the above mentioned bugs, we guess that you must have found out solutions. So we are all longing to the next release of your brillant ROM....

:? few issues after clean rebuild :?

1: would love to use Cyberion VoiceDialer, can't find a working CAB.

Helmi posted once a version with incomplete cab, who has a working one?

2: haven't got any idea on how to activate a2dp

Installed ad2d_setup in a clean ROM, but realy can't find any of it back in programs or settings. How should this work?

3: is my radio 1.13.00 to old?

WiFi started very clean and fast after clean install, even faster in the air than the phone after softreset. Many times. Later on, when the complete build-up was ready WiFi started to act less. And also my favorite website pda.buienradar.nl still doesn't work, even not when tested directly after the ROM install, so with no other s/w installed.

Could this all have to do with my radiorom version, should I go to 1.15.00

How can I use this ROM with Italian Language Support?

Hi Elmi.

First of all I thank you for all your hardwork to create this ROM. I will be glad to test it, but I need to know if there is the possibility to set up the Italian Language for the O/S, SMS and MMS.

There is some CAB's File to upload to make the ROM working in Italian Language?. Thanks

It works perfect, also on my bt headset. Just pushing the headset button once and the voicedialer autostarts.

btw: just upgraded to radio 1.15.00, gotta experience what it does for me. Gone totally nuts on this thing, dowloading, trying to follow the instructions on countrycodes and deviceerrors and so on. Nothing worked (my incompetence i think). As a last resort i just simply executed the ba_upgrade from the posted "ba_radio_1.15_in_v1_format" and it simply worked without any patching. Beats me.

Stresstest went great, dont use secure bt-gps connection

Using the virtual GPS port was a bit instable, i discovered i set up an secure connection between my PDA and the BT-GPS device. Completely useless, but "secure"is the default value. Turned it off and started some serious stresstesting.

Startposition:

- BT on

- GPRS on

- Pushmail on

- battery 90% and no softreset to start with

- BT-GPS connected via virtual port

- BT-headset on

went for a walk with my dog for 45 minutes, makes navigation s/w to recaculate routes all the time, nice for generating systemload.

Started Oziexplorer via Cyberion Voicecommand thrue bt-headset

Started TomTom likewise

Started IGO navigation likewise

- so bt-headset and voicecommands work nice next to bt-gps

- walked a bit and nav. s/w kept working

spoke "rain" command in my headset. This made PDA/firefox start with homepage "the moving realtime rainsatellite info" via GPRS.

- all systems stayed okay, internetpage was quite quick

started the camera, made a picture and sent it via MMS to my exchange work mailaddress.

- bit slow

- message got sent (had to load the contacts for this)

- got an MMS delivery notification

- got an exchange new mail notification

- so pushmail via gprs and activesync had to be active as well

- still being told directions from nav systems

- just had to stop/start gpsfunction in ozi once, ozi lost the virtual gpsport

- firefox was still showing moving satelite image on an internet page

ended firefox, started PIE

- choose a steaming audio radio channel

- so mediaplayer had to start

- indeed started to play the radiochannel without stuttering

- at this point the gps-connection got lost

ended mediaplayer and PIE

- restarted navsystems

- they nicely recovered and did their work again

last test, speeking a name in the headset for a phonecall

- had a talk

- navsystems kept working, bt-gps stayed connected.

in the end, with almost all the time backlight on because of all my activity, after 45 minutes still 60% battery left and no soft-reset needed.

Just noticed two things in this test with useless combinations of activities:

- virtual-gps s/w is the first to loose when things get busy

- MMS message was sent succesfully, but wasn't moved from outbox to sent items.

:P Is this a stable and fast ROM or what :!:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xdaradar:
Re: device lock

about the battery-thing, could it be you've bluetooth on?

There's an old BT bug for wich the workarround is to get your device out-of-suspend mode every few minutes. THis might be your battery consumer. Turn off BT when not active using it.

about the device-lock, i don't use that. Have the standard feature of button-lock on. So device is locked except when pushing power-button. So i always turn on/off with powerbutton, no stylus needed, works for me.

Re: Stresstest went great, dont use secure bt-gps connection

xdaradar,

First things first, thanks for the PM. I guess my problem is not the procedure I am following (which was the same as yours), but on my exchange server settings. I'll have to get those from the IT dept.

I read your test results regarding battery life, but I cannot get over the fact of how fast it was draining my battery without doing a tenth of the things that you were doing. I have a theory though, which might or might not be right (hence, the term theory :lol: )

Here is my story. In an 8 hour day (battery 2400 mAh at 100% to start) by using only 1.5 hours of talk time, my battery goes down to 58%. I will admit that I do use speakerphone quite often, and I noticed in this rom that the volume is somewhat higher than that of wm2003. Could this be the reason why the battery gets drained that much? (btw, backlight was dimmed to the minimum before turning it off)

I played Arvale for almost 2 hrs straight and I had only gone through a little less than 20% of a full charge.

I am beginning to think that the volume on the device is the real battery drain rather than any of the radios (bt, wifi, gprs, etc).

Let me know if this makes any sense to you.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] greatbal:
I already flashed this rom on my BA. Flashing went flawlessly. Thanks Helmi for the rom! :)

i wouldn't mention the small bugs anymore which are already mentioned in this thread. hope all these will be solved with patches soon or in the next release.

anyways, has anyone else experienced these?

1) When i use PIE to browse a site, most of the pictures don't display. especially gif's. only texts are displayed (and one picture. huh?)

2) i tried installing PocketPlayer, it install ok. but when i open the app, it plays music but the screen is blank. (uh-oh...)

hope this can be fixed as i'm beginning to love his rom and hope to keep it. :D

thanks.

Re: Stresstest went great, dont use secure bt-gps connection

about those exchange settings:

userid/password and optional domain is the same as where you login with from your desktop.

servername in my case is the url i use for webmail (@work we can access exchangemail via webmail as well. Maybe this works for you too?

about the powerdrain:

have no experience with this issue, dont use speakerphone, but electronically-wise it makes sence that using more volume takes more batterypower (i.e. look at the big powercables they use at a pop-concert)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xdaradar:
hmmm, stupid question but are you sure your using helmi's rom and not tuma 1.3, did you do the yes/yes trick on hard-reset?'i'm asking this because both issue's are in tuma's rom, but haven't seen them on helmi's rom yet.

the picture thing in PIE was a known bug in tuma 1.3, as i remember with a fix, read that thread for more details.

the no-video-screen thing was in tuma 1.3 as well and was caused by lack of cpu-resources. Because of the bad wifi performance, there was no resources left for the video-screen. turning off wifi did the trick on tuma1.3.

and yes, i did the HR with N-Y-Y option after flashing.

I used Tuma 1.3 for 3 months, and i never experienced those problems. It is only now after flashing to Helmi's WM5 AKU3 v1.1 beta that i experienced this with PIE and PocketPlayer.

thanks for the reply @xdaradar.

Does this mean that i'm the only one experiencing this? :?

With regards to ROM editing, ( I know most of you here is already interested in this area), can I have the LOC_aku3.0 and OS_3.0 for this ROM? (Though Im not an expert on this thing, but for curiousity sake, I want to try this "for-the-expert-only" job (hehehe). Thanks
