Batteries...

My phone's been on for 24 hours, and is still at 100% (though I've not used it much other than a 30 second phone call and a couple of text messages). I've used both 1.1 and now 2.0 since they were released, and have the same results.

Here's the scoop:

Before using the new rom, I ran a clear memory (even after the hard reset following the load)

Loaded all of my software and configured the bluetooth headset and GPS.

I discharged the battery and allowed a full recharge.

Beam, Wifi, and GPRS are OFF unless I need them.

Batterystatus is setting OMAP to 260 Mhz, no other per app fancy stuff.

Screen brightness is at 50%, regular power settings.

When I am done using the phone, I hit device lock, then the power button. This final combination has made the biggest difference in usage since I started working with WM6 a few weeks ago.

I use Windows Live, Xpress Mail, TOPO! and Pocket Streets, amongst a bunch of others, so it's not like I don't utilize my device.

If you use it smart, it will be so. You can't expect a ROM to make hardware use less power, unless you tell it to do so. If the hardware is always on and powered up, you're gonna suck the battery dry.

I suggest new users to research the forums to understand the phone better, to better understand what uses power and when.

My 2 cents

Another time - since i got my XDA terra i let my wizard lying on my desk for about 4 days now and it is 20% still alive.

SO there is no batterydrain - when you flash an official rom WITH COMPLETE extended ROm and tehn flash Core 2.0

Best regards.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
I am absolutely sure that with Core 2.0n there is no batterydrain, and that WiFi works. I have tested bot thousand of times... I even spent money sending sms and using GPRS just to see if no errors there.

What could be the thing you do different ?

Let me tell you how i do it...and those problems never appeared :

- I am continuously testing new settings and so flashing again and again over and over, sometimes it boots , sometimes it doesn't

- I have a G3 CID Unlocked Wiza200, i don't even know the producer, since it was bought second hand...and it had an lousy Orange M3000 software on it, but i can bet that isn't the original one.

- I DON'T flash to an official rom even after an unsuccesfull flash ( EVEN THO I SHOULD !).

- When I try something new and either the device doesn't boot or freezes at one of the splashscreens, i don't do it as I should, meaning flashing my provider official and then mine again, no ... i flash directly mine Core2.0n

I did this about 50 times in the last 4-5 days so don't try and contradict me.

I never had an unsuccesfull flash with Core 2.0n ! NEVER !

- It is even possible that you have a corrupt download. I didn't even compressed the nk.nbf to avoid similar situations.

* WHY ? Why i don't have problems ?

* Why didn't you see me asking questions over and over ?

- Do you really think me or any other person here that doesn't ask questions was born with knowledge ? No guys, I am human and don't have all the answers !

Like, why i can always use WIFI by a single click or the Bluetooth or any other stuff ?

- WiFi

. . . . -> MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE BEAM TURNED ON !

. . . . -> MAKE SURE THAT BEFORE YOU TURN YOUR DEVICE OFF OR SOFTRESET, YOU CLOSE WiFI BEFORE THAT ! (if you didn't , simply soft reset again with WiFi off and don't forget next time you softreset)

- MISSING CALLS

. . . . -> Missing calls is a radio thing. Of course it can be related to rom, but the difference is that you would notice it right from the start, meaning that you won't even connect to network.

. . . . -> I USE 2.19.11 RADIO ROM, but I live in ROMANIA and from what I know, this is an area/provider speciffic problem. So, the 2.19 might work for you, or it might not. I suggest try some different RADIO ROMS and put your device to standby and call your self as many times you think necessary. You should miss a call if that problem exists. Then, try another...I did that too...silly, i know :)

- YOU CANNOT ! BRICK YOUR DEVICE USING MY ROM !!!

WHY ? - BECAUSE IT'S ONLY O.S.

- WORSE CASE< YOU JUST HAVE TO REFLASH FROM BOOTLOADER ( make sure you have enough battery before flash, or leave the phone off and plug it into charger untill it blinks green - I DID IT, I KNOW)

you can use any wizard splash sets(from here or whole net) with RUU NOID. remember NOID.. also, theres usually cab to install third splash which is image named welcomehead.96.png, which can be also added separately( if ot CAB is present). this file(welcomehead.96.png) must be copied to /windows.

Iulian, you see my pm?

please just check latter, and when i go home i talk with you...

i have some goods ideias, simple thinks to do .

who will be very nice for g4 device and can solve this battery drain problem for who have it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
I noted some references to the beam effecting the Wifi in earlier posts, but I found that by changing HTCPreloadWiFi and HTCPreloadStatus to 1 makes it nearly fool-proof. I haven't had a Wifi issue since these changes, and don't mind the hit on performance. The reg hacks were an easy fix in my case.

On the radio issue, I had oodles of issues with 2.25.11, and once I switched over to 2.19 it's been excellent. Thankfully I found the right one the first time. Just like anichillus said, test, test, test. In other technologies, people who tweak their hardware like us are called "testers". Hmmm...

If you want an off-the-shelf, perfectly easy setup, go back to the vendor's rom and be happy. Especially if you're not prepared to do the work to find your own recipie. I've flashed my device at least 20 times, and had a variety of issues, and recovered from every one. In no small part thanks to the seniors here who share their experience, and nearly all were already in existing posts.

Hey anichillus, btw and FYI, once I updated the radio and added the Wifi reg update, performance has been stellar. I'm going days between resets, and haven't missed a call. Thanks again.

Go.. Go..

Go anichillus.. Show them who's boss :P...I almost do the same everytime.. Even though mine was Cid locked.. i managed to get custom roms on my Wizard..And i use the original tools and Shell Tool.. What i did was first time try.. ( Sim unlocked only that time, not CID unlocked.. ), Installed xPlore 1.1, then used shell tool.. Then.. Cid Unlocked.. running t-mobile original rom, running core 2.0 dindt had my Cid unlock correctly.. Flash failed.Then had Original rom again.. Downloaded new Core2.0n.exe and then again Cid Unlock, fresh downloaded.. Unpacked in C:\Loki, then opened Cmd, Cd C:\Loki [enter].Then Lokiwiz [enter].C [enter]Then there was at the end 1 small error.. Dindt mind that anyways, and then ran Core2.0n.exe again. Flashed.. :DC'mon guys.. I aint techie.. (well okaay.. i do a-lot with Pc, i even build them xD.. )... But every one could do this..Read manual every body's talking about.Do your best, then no problems, and listen to anichillus..1 Question..How to get rid of that annoying fresh start everytime ? I USE this rom, so i want to get it working.. And sinds i use TimTim ( Huh ?? xD ) it saids everytime i reset or turn phone off/on, 'No maps'. i dont want this anymore..Is this a registry?Some-one.. Help.Thanks in regard !;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
Thx :D

Delete the StartClean.lnk from Windows\Startup ;)

That should do the trick for you.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mazterjay:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
MazterJay - you might look in the starup folder and ensure only what you need is in there. I also got rid of the outlook link since I don't use it.

-Matt
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mazterjay:
Outlook

I dont think i want to remove that outlook or poutlook.exe because it enables Contacts.. I use that.. Well.. not at the moment becuse it doesnt run :S.. Ow yeah.. Anybody know why is that? When i open is does start. But then closes verry fast.. It shows a weird Small box at the height of where normally the search bar is.. As if it as moved to almost out range reachable box. Where u can only see the end of it.. This is all the way tot he left.. Sometimes u do see that also when first time opening after shuttind down app, watch carefully..Thnx in regard ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] new2city:
To MazterJay,

If you mean the contacts open and closes pretty fast, you need to do a hardware reset again and then try to open contacts again.

I use contacts but don't have poutlook.lnk in Startup..

To Anichillus,

Core2.0 is working alright on my G4 CID Locked as well... Battery life is good, 3 days with moderate usage.. almost 4 days when using Xplore1.1 as well, if you need any testing for G4, just ask. Thanks for the CORE!!

anybody having problems with MMS? i wasn't when I had the faria on it but now it doesn't work on this ROM. I put my SIM in another phone and it works fine so it's not the service. I know the settings are correct. Just wondering if anybody else has had this or it's just me. I have T-Mobile by the way.

Tmobile USA MMS

I posted a way to fix the MMS on Tmobile USA a couple of days ago it's on page 41 post# 408.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
Hi man, thx.

I added a link to your post under PATCHES on the first page.

BTW, there is a general problem with MMS or only for Tmobile USA ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] :
WHAT? really? SDHC?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] FZZF:
you're welcome it's the least I can do :) I dont think there is a problem with the mms in the rom it's the configuration and settings for Tmobile USA I dont know about other providers but I noticed that most complaints about the mms were Tmobile USA users.

by the way did you or anyone else that you know of have any of those screen lock ups on this rom (where the screen doesn't come out of sleep mode with light still flashing cause I am experiencing that lately I reflashed last night and I am getting ready to reflash in a few minutes and see what happens.

I wish we can find a sloution to unlock these damn G4s.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
It happened to me, but only on the Core Beta, which was still build with Molski's kitchen. With this new one, it never happened ... If you get to the bottom of it, i am very curious why and what's causing it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] FZZF:
I am very curious myself, my main problem with it is when it happens I cant get calls and wont know it happened until I I go to tun the screen on, I also had this happened with WM5 ship rom on G3, and ordered a replacement that's how I ended up with the stupid G4, my number one suspect is OMAP after flashing last night I installed OMAP and overclocked with smartskey to 264 cause Battery Status was a suspect but this morning the phone was locked up and the battery drained more then usual and it happened again during the day and battery only lasted a few hours so now I will start with a clean rom and install software one at a time and watch for a couple of days before installing the next. I will let you know what happens.

ok I am tired of typing now..lol

I had an issue with Cingular as well - no MMS settings. Only a sample config came with Core 2.0. I went to the Cingular site and got the settings and added a new config.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] WDS Josh:
ya, I set up the data connection and MMS on my own manually. I work for Tier 3 Data Support for t-mobile so I set these up all day long on unlocked PDAs and stuff. the settings are right. the internet connection works but not MMS. I'll try those cab files and see if they help.

In case people didn't noticed, i build a Core 2.0 BB Connect version

I need testers for this

The link http://rapidshare.com/files/30084756/Core_2.0bb.exe

TESTING PURPOSE ONLY

- Hehe, forgot to mention :

* I need people that use BB Connect, other than that, the rom is pretty the same as Core 2.0n ...again minor moddifications only-nothing worth reflashing for.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] FZZF:
follow the instruction exactly the way I posted them after installing the cabs and it will work I tried many ways and I came up with that way out of frustration ...lol.. and it works trust me.

If you are talking about the MMS settings the answer is no it wont work every carrier has their on settings for GPRS MMS ect... but I think if you go to the cingular site you can get the settings and you should up and runing after that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Yeah, after I wrote that question I went in and looked through the xml file (duh! should have done that first) and saw the differences...

I do get MMS messages, but something still ain't right, as I get the sync error and sometimes the upload/download hangs. I'll try the new BB rom before I try anything else, but I'll be back.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
I posted a cab that sets up GPRS AND MMS for Cingular in my Crossbow Reloaded thread (link in my sig). Look at the 3rd post and it has this Cab for Cingular (and points back to FZZF's excellent post here for T-Mobile US).

That Cingular cab fixed various issues I had with GPRS and MMS settings on Cingular with WM6 roms. Also allowed me to downgrade from PDA Connect to MediNet Unlimited (don't remember the exact name of the plan, but it saves me like $25 to $30 a month since it gives me unlimited net and 200 messages a month! Remember though, YMMV).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Thanks for that post. I had a cab for internet settings, but not the MMS stuff. Makes it a heck of a lot easier than plugging everything in.

It doesn't fix my issue however. Same symptoms. Once I get this new rom set up, I'll keep playing with it.

BTW, installed fine and am checking out now.

Iulian, after all yesterday this is my first impression

my cpuusage problem is realy solved, now my cpu never go high than 4% without use.

Drain i need to test a little more, but i think that work, now when i'm not using the device the power drain go very low, like 42...50 mA

but everybody here know, batterystatus dont show very correct ...so i will test for cople days and report.

if works, we have the solution for drain finaly!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] papamopps:
One way is to use SKtolls- by the way great app. you can tweak a lot.

Or search the registry for:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Seetings\SMS.....

You will find three related settings.

And

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Seetings\SMSNosentMs g -- 1

Ther is not only the one you used - search for teh other ones - and do a softreset by pressing powerbutton for 5 sec.

Good luck

Screen Periodically Unresponsive after Core 2.0...

Thanks Anichillus for the ROM. It's great! I'm, however, having a strange issue with my touch screen. I seem to have to re-align it several times a day. It literally becomes unusable except from a hardware button soft-key (e.g. contacts, notification). So now my 'Start' button and 'Close App' button doesn't respond properly.

If this helps, I didn't experience this with Xplore 1.1 . I was wondering if it may be software related (3rd party).

Core 2.0

look a bad flash

put again your operator rom or wizard love and then flash core 2.0
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
I am guessing it's either one of the 3rd party apps either a bad download either a bad flash.

You should apply a hard reset after flash. Wait for the customisation to finis, after it self reboots, wait a few seconds and either "ClearStorage" or turn it off and hold the commanager button and the record button and turn it back on .

When asked, release the 2 buttons and press call

It will format your memory and fresh start.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] :
Today when i go home i will post a experience that i did with Anichillus yesterday.

I try to rebuild core 2.0 with a blank ext_rom and flash on a g4 CID-LOCKED device using the RUU hacked in italian version.

My first test don't work...my device was flashed but nothing change.

so i check again and i see only the blank ext_rom was apply (dont understand why), but for me was enough

All works fine now, my ext_rom is now clean and not corrupeted.

SO....

for everyone who has problem with drain i recomend to try this and see if the battery have some improvement.

Flash your G3 or G4 Cid unlocked direct by RUU and check, probably all will work fine doing only one steep

For G4 CID-locked devices follows this steeps:

1- Flash Wizard love ROM or your Operator ROM

2- Wait for customize and reboot

3- Run Core 2.0 modified using RUU, you see right BY RUU! and wait complete. Doing this you will only apply the HTC Logo, SplashScreen and Ext_rom clean.

3- Turn on again your device and then apply ROM using Shell tools.

4- Hard Reset

5- Wait for customize and check if your ext_rom is clean.

after do this, i dont have anymore problem with battery drain and my wifi works all the time pressing one time by command manager =]

ROM, soon here
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] FZZF:

Hey man, to be honest with you, there is little you can do about this...I had the same problem on my 2nd MDA after flashing one of the cooked WM5 roms, and even when going back to stock rom, it kept doing the same. Hopefully you have the equipment protection plan on your phone, all you have to do, as what I did, is call your service provider, tell them that you are having alignment problems, and describe the problem, tell them you have hard reset your phone by holdin specific hardware buttons, and you also tried the clear storage, but every time, after a certain amount of time, your phone becomes messed up again in alignment, they then sent me a new phone and I paid nothing...Hell Im on my 4th MDA right now, and still have yet to pay anything.

This was my expierence, hope it helps you...I hated pressing the number 3 key and it presses the 2 and so on, but try what I said above and you should be good to go.

Finally, i hve got my Dopod838 flashed to Core2.0n after numerous problems last few days: battery drain & keep getting com errors when flashing.

Like to suggest:- if you are getting a battery drain seriuosly & having problem to complete flashing, try changing a new battery, this work for me.

2nd, while flashing the T-mobile Rom, I also aborted the customization (as indicated in other threads), seems to solve all battery & usage problems, now my devise is reporting 61mA on idle and lasted for 2 days without charging.

Hopes this info is valuavle to some people having a hard time flashing.

Anichillus, thanks; this is a solid Rom, I hve tried most other on this forum, think I'll stick to this for a while...
