I too had this issue, and it took 3 charge/discharge cycles,but now seems much better. I initially went from 100% down to 40% in 3 hours with no use! Now it seems to be much better and my battery life is noticeably better.

If we need to look at this as an issue,we will!

Hope this helps.......Later
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
You are correct. Not all screens will display properly under resolutions beyond the default 192dpi. Tobias, the maker of the RealVGA files we're using in this ROM may come out with fixes for this as he develops his software. Meanwhile we look for work-arounds.

GPS Issues

Anyone else having issues with the GPS.. Trying Google Maps and it cannot find GPS.. Letting Windows manage, have also tried some other settings that I've used with other GPS units to no avail.. Have not reloaded Tom-Tom yet so not sure if it's a Google Maps specific or not.. In Version PK 1.0 It worked without a hitch.. Thoughts :confused:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
We either need the source or someone that can take the time to edit the DLL's for the program. Any takers?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Try the attachment and report back.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pantaloonie:
No problems here with GPS on the 2.0 ROM.

Both Google maps and Tomtom working perfectly. I had to select COM 4 to get Tomtom to work.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
There are some issues with Google maps but on all ROMs. Make sure you have the latest version of Google maps. Does any other software see your GPS? If so then it's Google Maps. I also noticed that GPS initially takes a little time to start. Also test Live Search, very similar to Google Maps and has worked with GPS since initial release without any problems that I ran into.

Need help...with audio files...

I made a few audio files for the device that i want to upload so everyone can have if they like them but need some help. Need someone that's good at editing audio files. The files need to be optimized, edited so they sound sharper coming from the device and maybe a few effects to make the voice sound sexier. I made the following files, all are a female voice:

- Incoming Call.

- Incoming SMS.

- You have missed calls. (never really used this one)

- Reminder notification.

- New mail.

- Wake up notification.

PM me if you can help. The sooner I get someone to help me with this I can release to the forum for those that are interested.

Always about HTC Home Kaiser 6 Tab Plugin:

1- how can change Launcher selections?

From Kaiser Plugin Customizer 0.8b it doesn't seem to be any otpion to customize Launcher.

Than always in Kaiser Plugin Customizer 0.8b:

2- It doesn't keep tab order customization

3- It doesn't change language.

THX!

How big a chang? I thought you were all happy with this one and just doing bug fixes by .cab! Much as I love these ROM's just as I get my phone all sorted after the last flash it seems we're onto the next... FYI this time all I'm running is the SBSH trilogy and some well chosen games so no biggy but it takes a while to assign all the shortcuts and icons in iLauncher plus hook upto works Exchange.

Thanks for all your hard work it is much appreciated btw

ITXDA -

I have been running WM6 on a 7500 for over 10 weeks now. I ran the PK 1.0 when it first came out. The 1st time that I have had issues with the battery was yesterday after PK 2.0. I gotta think that WM6 is not the culprit nor is it the hardware(device or battery). Something is using the battery and the only thing that I am aware of that sucks battery life fast is GPS - which I have not enabled or constant edge connections.

I am not going to bash anyone, but I really find it hard to believe that its an interoperability issue with WM6 and my battery(ies).

btw, batti is now reporting that my battery is 109.9 C. Which in theory would be much too hot for any non-super hero human to handle. But it is cool to the touch. This means that i am either super hero human or my batter is not 109.9 C. I also believe it is not even 109.9F.

I have also noticed that the weather icon is continually trying to update. Wonder if this is the issue....

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] TwoPlus1:
How do I view Battie?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
try going into reg edit and doing the reg edit by hand. its in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items/HTC Home "Order"=whatever u like it to be.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
its ment to be in 96dpi . Itll be fixed if we ever find the code for the dll or find someone who modded this dll before.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
to all those with battery issues. this rom has no drastic changes from 2.0. its same base and just bugs fixed, a few quirks fixed, and added in realvga and the keyboard. i think u guys just need to do what ltxda said and let it drain and recharge a few times and itl be ok. remember we have 1.50 radio coming with this rom and that seems to be a real battery drain. lets hope theres a new radio coming soon with much better battery that i can include. all issues noted and i believe all of them involve realvga besides the battery issues so i will forward them to creator of realvga to fix while the team looks for work arounds.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
Update on battery issue:

After talking with Midget_1990(thanx) i have learned that the battery drain issue is actually a feature of wm6. It does a battery test the first time after a hard reset and runs the battery right down (tries to) to calibrate the battery levels so after that it gives the correct battery levels(%) Everyone should let the battery after flash or hard resets run down till it turns of and after a charge the battery will be good. We all just learned something new and found a issue is really a feature :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
also it seems that the htc home we included doesnt have setting for the tab order oh well. ill look into this soon. goal for today is to get the games cab for u guys.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] marka2k:
No go. Am I the only one reporting this?

thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pantaloonie:
This sounds plausible, however I have been running various wm6 roms since they first became available, and have never seen this happen before. My battery was down to 10% last night before I fully charged it, and I only noticed the huge battery drain today when the device was not in use. I'll do as you suggest and report back, but at this point I'm not convinced.

edit - forgot to say, thanks for all your hard work!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] spzero:
Sorry but im not convinced either, was using gps (TomTom 6) while my in car (charger was broke) battery died in 2hrs flat from being plugged in at home (battery was 100% when i left) @ least i knew my way home charged up overnight (14+ hours and today after 5 hours of no use (only bt) no calls texts etc my battery was @5% and device asking to be plugged in to avoid data loss.. so what you have said is not correct as im still having the same issue i will continue with rom for another day and report back (@ least i can use mini usb 2 charge @ work) Sorry if this comes over negative its not ment that way i appreaciate the rom and work, i dont know anyway near as much as you guys, (respect is due) but what your saying here dosent add up in regards to my experience since upgrading yesterday morning... |(thanks for a great rom btw hope we can fix this. think might be possibility of weather trying to update every minute or so with htc home as it seams to be the case..)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
i been told this by midget and it sounded logical so i posted about the battery. personally i never seen this on my hermes and dont have a athena yet to see what this rom would do to the battery. im really sorry you guys are having battery issues. none of the members from what i know see these huge battery drains so this makes it even harder. what varients of the athena u guys have. maybe its issolated to a certain varient. i am looking and thinking really hard what could cause this issue. im wondering if its realvga maybe is causing this somehow.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pantaloonie:
Double post
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pantaloonie:
Dude, no need for you to be sorry, you've done an amazing job under the circumstances.

For the record, I'm using an Ameo. I'm not working tomorrow so I'll do some more testing and see if I can find the cause.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] spzero:
i have the T-Mobile ameo as well
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apd:
Here here.

A few thoughts: I don't think it can't be anything to do with the default today screen on this ROM (or any today plugins / addons) as my installation of the V1 ROM did not have any of those things (I went back to my previous very simple today screen and plugins) and I still had high battery drain. It is the same with V2 (albeit that I now use the new very smart today screen!). The radio signal is still much stronger. Could it be that the 1.5 radio uses more power....

TomTom Question

Hi,

Installed new Rom onto original T-Mobile WM5 after an olipro unlock (Stage 1-3) and all looks super. Reinstall TOMTOM and it asks me to reactivate as the device id has changed. This I can't do as I've only just upgraded to Ameo from another device. So I install WM6 from duttythroy's post and that gives me back my original device id number and TOMTOM works again. Any one know what gives? How can I install this superb rom and still have TOMTOM working?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] BenPool:
Ok, I love this and would love to keep it but had to go back to VM6 because I'm on a swedish unit and like to have the swedish keyboard setting

Any way I can get a swedish keyboard setting and be able to use the hardware keyboard with swedish setup?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] jab:
Pawel,

Everything about this ROM is awesome, so don't take this the wrong way: I am having a real hard time believing that this ROM is self healing and it will correct the battery issue on its own. There is no fuzzy logic in the ROM or the OS that is going to figure out how things should work, nor does the battery learn how to work more efficiently.

I did a hard reset and installed everything except the Kaiser plugin. I have been gone for about 2 hours and the battery is acting like its old self. I can install the kaiser plug in if you want and my hypothesis is that the battery will be down to almost nothing in no time.

Maybe this battery issue needs a separate thread. But I am willing to bet that 2-3 days waiting is not going to solve the battery issue.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Mahmood:
battery problem is solved after this:

1. Use the battery till 10%

2. Recharge it agin ful to 100 %

and it will be solved because it happens with WM6 at first u get battery draining but after that it completely solves when recharged . This was also issues when i had wizard and universal but they solved automatically !!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pantaloonie:
Hasn't worked for me, after two complete discharges and recharges the battery drain while idle is still huge. I'll be testing various setups tomorrow to see if I can find the cause.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] duttythroy:

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] fards:
I do have an Ameo and did have the battery drain (which I put down to excessive playing with this rom).

It's all fine now, and I have all the extras installed.

Have you set a weather locale?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] johnwalk:
ok now this is weird! let the battery completly discharge, until it reset, then charged up to 100% been off charger for an hour, still 100% charge, but in one of my earlier posts i said about the wifi remaining connected when I turned off then back on, now when I turn off then back on the arrows start crossing looking for wifi again, what gives, no changes to any settings.

Battery still 100% after 1 hour 20
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pantaloonie:
Yes, I have.... Several people have said that they initially had battery problems, which have now gone. Based on that, I'm going to open a beer, put my feet up and relax. I'll carry on running the 2.0 ROM for a few days and see if it clears up for me too. If not, I'll worry about it then ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] fards:
A perfectly elegant solution, if only more people thought like this just imagine how chilled forums everywhere would be.. :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apd:
Trying this now - Ameo nearly dead - will let it go completely and charge overnight. Will report tomorrow evening when it has been working for a day, including DirectPush.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] jab:
I was never able to get the weather plugin to find information for Austin, Texas. Which could have been part of the problem.

Guys, I have been running WM6 on my 7500 for 10 weeks now. I have completely discharged the battery during usage, gotten it down to 10%, etc all during the past ten weeks.

I am starting to lean towards the battery issue being associated with the weather update. Especially if the weather update is using EDGE.

Without the Kaiser today plugin battery usage appears to be fine.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] johnwalk:
I thought everbody drunk while looking through forums. Or is that just me, now listening to Erasure through bluetooth headset. 2 songs down 3 checks of mail. still 100% Im convinced the problem is now sorted. Woo Hoo.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apd:
Annoying but minor problem - HTC Home

I have just noticed that the HTC Home skin included with the ROM seems to have a minor problem that I can't seem to resolve.

When I am notified of a new email and hit the email envelope in HTC Home (which shows the number of unread messages), it opens the MMS folder in Pocket Outlook rather than the email inbox.

Is there a solution to this quirk?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wgary:
HTC Advantage x7500. Drained from full to 5% in about 7.5 hours.

I do think this should be a separate thread. I wonder if carrier is also an issue. My battery drain seemed to increase substantially when I switched from AT&T to TMO (USA). I guess I can live with this due to better data transfer rates.

Another thought: I finally reinstalled TeleNav this afternoon, and the GPS didn't seem to do through the long start-up. I closed out TeleNav and it came up instantly an hour later. I wonder if GPS chip is somehow starting up and/or not deactivating. Just a thought.

I think this need some sleuthing to find the commonalities of those with battery drain. Eh, Watson?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pantaloonie:
I don't have this problem, it works as it should.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] johnwalk:
ok now 2 hours off charger, 40 minutes of listening to music via bluetooth, 15 minutes surfing, battery down to 90%. if the theory about a new rom is right the easiest way to drain the battery while switched off would be to leave all the radios on. Makes sence now.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wgary:
OK, I forgot to say this...

PK 2.0 is totally and completely FABULOUS!

I'm sure the battery issue will be sorted, but this ROM is rock-solid, fast fast fast, plus love the overall look.

This sounds right. I have X7501 from CompUSA running HTC latest WM6 ROM. The first day I used if after charging it up, the device was warm and discharged rapidly. (There were rumors of problems with the Microdrive staying on, and I assumed that was the problem.)

After recharging, the problem went away, and it's been operating normally ever since.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
seems like battery issues are mostly on ameos which i remember had issues with microdrive so that might lend a hand and seem to go away after a while. please guys keep testing while we work on the realvga issues with tobias. if the issues are still there after a while then we will get to work on them. theres enough posts here to say that it goes away after a while.

I also have the battery draining issue and I have not had it with any previous WM6. I don't have any Ameo. I have an HTC Advantage X7500.

I am also going with the theory that HTC Kaiser plugin is causing this issue. It is only theory for me right now because I am still testing it. However, the battery life seems to be much better without the Kaiser running.

This theory makes sense because Kaiser plugin was the only thing I have not tried with any previously WM6 ROM for the Athena including the base ROM for this ROM. PK version 1 did not have this issue and the base ROM is the same.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:

The release of the next ROM won't be any time soon. I hate redoing my device as much as the next guy. BTW, I'm going to try out a product by Teksoft, the guys who donated their keyboard to the project, called AirWizard. Unless I read it wrong, this program can put all of the software you install into one CAB and save us tons of time during a device flash. If anyone has tried this before, your feedback would be greatly appreciated. AND...in case anyone is wondering..i have no affiliation to Teksoft. Just a lover of their product is all.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Mine had the same issue and after a cycle or two the battery returned to normal use. Others have also said to let the battery drain all the way then recharge and this also resolves the issue. Give this a try and report back if you don't mind.

I'm not sure what batti does to pull the temp. Have you checked the batti site to see if anyone has reported such an issue? We'll look into this. PK and Mackaby007 have been keeping up with the bug list and getting ready to tackle it. We've all been trying to take a break since the ROMs release since we spent sooooo many hours on the project. It's crazy once we looked back at how much time was spent ;-)
