This gave me an idea regarding the comm manager issue I was having as you suggested I made sure the comm manager was not running but then remembered Phone Alarm interacts with the comm manager I disabled PA from the today screen soft reset then was successful in installing the VGA Comm Manager

All is good now.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wgary:
OK, I'm wondering what this was supposed to do. I haven't seen any major changes thus far... Still have a 40% drain within 4 hours.

I installed BatteryStatus, which includes a meter for power draw. I am showing an idle drain of about 280 mA with screen on (with occasional jumps to between 320 mA, probably doing data transfer or whatever), and 170 mA with screen dimmed. When waking, it shows about 120 mA.

Could others provide data? Do these numbers sound high? Are other tools to analyze power draw? Also, noting that my charger only outputs 1A, the net charge is about 500-600mA, no wonder it takes a while to charge!

PS: Does anyone have a theme file for BatteryStatus that will space icons better for
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pantaloonie:
Just installed it on my Ameo, I'm showing the following with BT on:

Idle, screen on lowest - 170mA

Idle, 50% brightness - 290mA

Idle, 100% brightness - 330 mA

Occasional jumps to 400, 500 mA when using HSDPA.

Turning off Bluetooth reduces the draw by around 80mA.

Turning on Wifi adds a draw off around 200mA.

I also get about 110-120 mA on wakeup. Incidentally, my Prophet shows around 5mA on wakeup, 10mA with BT on.

is there any tip in order to correct this ??

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
It's a known RealVGA issue and has also been reported to the appropriate thread. We're just waiting on the developer to see if he will fix in the next release or it's something we'll have to deal with. I think it works okay in portrait mode but not in landscape.

Edit: I run 96dpi.

Hi all.

this rom has the making of something really good.

Just a couple of bugs.

Live messenger shows contacts as offline when definitely on.

Media player fix doesn't work and library doesn't update, just freezes

Audio manager works sometimes and not others, freezes needing soft reset

tcpmp doesn't open the file you select and freezes needing soft reset.

frquently lose connection to service provider in an area with tried and tested hsdpa

Still miles better performance wise to the tmob rom and I think some of my troubles are the result of a wonky flash.

I'll reflash later and report back

The bt audio is a vast improvement from on my hermes when audio manager does work.

Keep up the good work peeps. Collaborative efforts like this make xda and it would not be the same without them.

Cheers

Re: Feedback needed please.....

Sorry to be a pain guys and gals, but how many are experiencing the problems mentioned in this thread using an Ameo upgraded to this ROM after having applied IMEI check AND Olipro's stage 1 Unlocker only?

This is what I have applied and absolutely don't have any of the problems some of you are having.

I'm starting to wonder if this may be related to being Super CID unlocked as opposed to just CID unlocked via Olipro's unlocker......doubt it very much, but would like to rule it out once and for all.

So, who used IMEI and stage 1 Olipro Unlocker on an Ameo and is suffering from:

Battery drain and regular lock-ups and freezes with no apps installed or fully loaded.

Same applies to all variants too.

Thanks for any responses to this request....we're trying to find out why some have issues and others absolutely none at all!

Weird, right?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pantaloonie:
It's an error in the program, there is info about it in the faq on the batterystatus website.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pantaloonie:
My Ameo was unlocked using Olipro's unlocker only, all 3 stages.

My battery life seems to have improved a little since removing the HTC Home plugin, but it's still not good.

I also regularly find it locked up in the morning, with the top right of the screen (clock, 3g symbol, X button app) scrambled, looks like static on a tv. I have to soft reset to recover.

I had NO battery issues with the 1.0 ROM, I'll probably go back to that for now.

Hi

I've used the 2.0 ROM but the battery drain issue became too much to bear. I am back to the most recent stock ROM, but have applied I think most of the registry tweaks etc and I'm quite happy with the ROM's working and speed. That's not to say I wouldn't be interested in 3.0 hehe

One area I certainly like is the VGA of Fingertouch and I want to use this on my current ROM, but the version for download (and purchasing) is not VGA compliant. Do any of the ROM team have a trial VGA version that they can share as I would like to buy a license for it.

Cheers

Ant
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mackaby007:
No sorry Anton we don't have a trial version and are bound by the teksoftco.com's license agreement NOT to use it outside of the Black Touch ROM. However if you contact teksoftco.com directly by e-mail, they may consider letting you buy the license and sell you a copy, but don't hold your breath...worth a shot. It is a very beautiful and functional piece of software. Thanks again to teksoftco.com.;)

And i dont have anything more installed in my ameo.. Just the Rom and the applications pack. At this days, i just used the alarm at morning, and i check the hours.. and charged all days, full charge..

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] docraj:
Both IMEI check and all 3 steps of Olipro's unlocker.

I do not have a freezing problem; have yet to try WMP so cannot comment.

Battery drain is a BIG issue. I have installed Midget's cab (thanks Midget) and the battery meter recommended by him.

I am draining abot 150mA without BT but with direct push (DP) enabled. Not much difference in the drain value with DP enabled or disabled. With with backlight on at minimum setting

BT Off, DP off: 148

BT off DP on: 150

BT on DP on: 190

BT on DP off: 155

with backlight at zero the above values decrease by 35mA

Occasionaly it bursts to 450mA (during sync process I suspect), but overall it's constant around 150.

Should this be the expected value. I read in a previous post that another device was drianing about 10mA on standby.

BTW: installed apps

iLauncher 3.0.5

SPSH clock 0.92

BatteryStatus 1.04

I have removed HTC home plug and the phone is set to GSM only (no 3G or H as these drain more power).

Hope this helps.

Edit: As I have just installed Midget's battery fix, I will not be able to comment on any change in battery life until tomorrow.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ice_coffee:
this is how the maths add up for you !!

you have a 2200 mAh battery and you are drawing a continuous 150mAh this equates to 14.5 ish hours of use until the battery is depleted plus you have bursts of around 500 mAh which will shorten the life too (every minute of use @ 500 mAh = 3 mins lost from my projected time of 14.5 hours)

I will also try to install this battery application when I have time !!

I put in a sandisk with just music files and its just peachy now. media player now behaving normally.

first card had files from wizard and digital camera on it which could of been conflicting even though i'd deleted msmetadata and wmdrm from it.

Should be possible to delete the link to STK services, when you connect to the phone provider? I would like to have less time needed to have operative the pda when you reset.

I cannot find the way, sorry.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
I'm still half asleep but what do you mean by STK services?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
If that CAB didn't fix the problem, I'm pretty sure it's an issue with your device. Everyone else that has installed the CAB has reported the battery issue fixed.

If I'm mistaken on this point people, please let us know now. The battery won't be perfect, never was. With radio 1.50, there is also additional consumption BUT better performance. Let's keep it real people.

no deffo not sorted unfortunatly had a dissmal day with battery. left house 6.30 an hours use this morning listning to music over bt since then device has being idle apart from odd text message and from about 11am hooked up to a mini usb cable to charge aNd now batterys at 30% after a half hour walk listening to music over bt again..... when i get my lap top back im gunna put pk v 1.00 rom back on as was an amazinvg rom unless there has being a resounding change with v2.0 or v2.1 or v3.0 apart from still having battery issue loving the rom .....

From my part, I reported yesterday that my battery consumption was still terrible (even following installing the battery cab). However, my Ameo today is like a new beast (at least the battery is). Haven't made many calls but it has been on with DP and BT on full time since about 0700. Battery down to 70% - which is about what I got with the last ROM (and the 1.50 Radio). Well done - I think you've beaten it!!!!

Now that that's sorted, some suggestions for v3. Could we possible have a built in drinks machine and fridge - that's about all that's missing now.

Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] beginner:
I will try. What happen in your pda when introduce the pin? In my case, appears a wellcome message from Vodafone plus a screen "STK services" when you can ask for diferent information to the mobile provider (now, if you have your pda connected to an operator, execute the program STK services and will have same results)

I found that the HTC wm6 upgrade didn't produce it, but the Dopod, that is the base of your work open this program.

Let's try this. Install the app that everyone is installing to monitor battery consumption. Get some numbers recorded, see previous posts for samples, and let's see how yours is different from the others. I think by comparing across the board we'll get a better idea of what's going on. We want to find out if the numbers are right on with everyone else's or drastically different. With this additional information we can narrow it down, hopefully.
