i was able to get the rom upgraded. everything seemed ok and it was pretty stable for the most part, but at times i did get some delays. i click on something and i would need to click again to open. the rom looks great and stability is fine as well, but it's just the delays at times.

i have switched roms since yesterday though. i'm just trying out what works best.

I'm still having trouble with sending caller id to my contacts only. I have a replacement phone running WM5 direct from at&t and it works. I haven't recently loaded the plain official WM6 to check but it doesn't seem to send the caller id to contacts with 3.61. I posted more details in:

I have the Black Curves Theme but it has no phone skin.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] starbuckbk:
OK ppl I have an angle many have not thought of. Where are you keeping your phones? These batteries drain alot faster the warmer it gets. basically if the phone is in a air conditioned climate the battery will last longer then say if it was in your pocket or on a hot desk. Keeping your battery cooler actually improves our battery life. It sounds crazy but it is the way these batteries work.:cool:

Battery Life

I posted a little while back about my battery life problems. I opened up that task software and I noticed that my Idle process was constantly running. I don't know much about this stuff but I figured if something is always running then maybe it is running my battery down??

Anyway, I searched around and I really like vp3G's Rom and I don't want to try something else...anyway I just did a hard reset and I am hoping this will solve the battery problem..I will keep you posted vp3G (not that you need my info, but it doesn't hurt!)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Idle process should have most of the CPU time. That's normal.

OK, so it took my phone roughly 57 hours to reach 20%. As I reported last night, I used BT A2DP for an hour with the phone not in standby because the HTC concurrency manager opted not to work for some unknown reason. :rolleyes: Later I used A2DP for another half hour and then left the BT radio on all night ('cuz I fell asleep).

This morning it was still at 40% and took until about 2 hours ago to reach 20%. My 3G data connection has now been active for 58:45 and counting (that's a record!!) :eek:

I'm gonna run this thing until it screams for the juice. Think she'll hold, cap'n? :D

EDIT: Took another half hour of A2DP to get it to 10%. Total running time on this charge: 60 hours, 53 minutes and the data stayed connected for the duration. \o/
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Man, that's a weird one! Weren't you having this same issue a couple of versions ago? Could it have something to do with your SIM? That's about the only thing left that's still the same, isn't it...? :confused:

I'd say definitely give the "official" bloatware version a try. Really shouldn't be any different, though...

Battery Life

Thx vp3G !! I used at least 2hr of phone, couple of emails, 10min google maps, 10min of wifi -- BT ALWAYS ON :-) My battery was down to 30% in 6 hrs. However, I believe this ROM is better on battery life than previous ROMs & fast!! BTW - my battery is OEM 1300mah -- I have ordered a 3000mah but not so sure I am going to like that camel hump:D

I do have one quirk in Contact I had not seen your earlier ROMs. If I start scrolling through contacts "alphabetical paging" and stop on first entry in a letter group and click call(phone button ...the correct contact is not the one used. I believe it is the last entry in the contact list that was passed before the 'alphbetical paging' ....I know - sounds weird -- someone just give theirs a try...maybe it is some package I added 'causing this -- but nothing new that I didn't have installed on previous ROMs

MrDavis

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Maybe it's the phone, then... I don't use mine that much and just finished a 60+ hour run on a single charge.

Looks like you're right on this one. It may be the Fdcsoft PPCContactsMgr (removable). I've seen people say it doesn't behave properly on some ROMs, but they're never specific.

Thanks VP3g, I hate cluttering up this thread anymore than necessary but , I just wanted to let you know that I just paypal'd you (carsplus), and to encourage everybody else to do the same.

I started with custel, and schaps roms. Custel disappeared in the middle of night and I then went to one of schaps early roms that had many problems and then he promised a better rom and never delivered. I waited two months. I know everbody says this is a development site but a lot of people bought this high powered phone because they wanted a phone that delivered on it's promise. It never delivered, that was until your latest rom. It really works. I use push email. Also when I am in the car i can use gps and talk hands free through my car, simultaneously, and so far I can use every application that i have tried.

I have went through many phones and operating system and with your help we finally have a winner.

Also I want to thank you for staying on top of the questions the way you do.

Internet Connection not working

Hi.

For some reason I seem to be recently loosing the internet connection for extended periods of time. I upgraded my ROM to vp3G's WM6 v3.61, and at the same time upgraded the radio to "HERM_Radio_Only_1.51.00.10_CustomRUU". What's weird is during these "blackout" periods I sometimes get the today screen weather to update - which requires an internet connection! I also installed the "HTC Home Plugin Customizer v1.0 Beta 5" CAB to customize the today screen. I do not know if that is contributing to my issues.

I read earlier in this thread that someone downgraded their radio from 1.51 to 1.48 to solve a similar problem. I also noticed that the modorator of this thread uses a 1.48 radio. Would it be best if I downgraded the radio, or is there some other issue to fix?

Thanks.

ps: I REALLY like this version of ROM. You guys did a GREAT job in building it!!!

3G Problem with this ROM

When I'm in a 3G area my phone displays 3G but when I start up IE it changes to H and my connection speed slows down. The original ROM would not do that. IE would connect fast and 3G would stay on.

Other than that this ROM works great.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] upgrade-aholic:
I just downgraded my radio to "HERM_Radio_Only_1.48.00.10_CustomRUU" and the internet started working properly again. I did a "hard boot" a couple of days ago, and the problem went away for a short while, and then came back. I'm not sure if this will "fix" it until I give it a few days. Is there anything else I could do to permanently "fix" it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] upgrade-aholic:
I noticed my phone does kind of the same thing. The only difference is it switches from 3G to H and then back to 3G.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] walts:
I forget exactly what the "H" stands for, but it's normal - it means the phone is receiving data at theat moment. It will switch back the "3G" or "E" (EVDO)depending on what kind of connection you have.

For all u peeps with battery problems. Here is a solution that might work. Please note "might". This has worked for me and a couple of other people on various ROMs. Sometimes battery problems slip in when flashing a device that is not fully charged.

One solution is to let the battery run until it's flat.

Then remove the battery for 10 secs and replace it again.

Charge the device for a few hours without turning it on, until it should be fully charged.

Turn device on and hard reset immediately.

This should reset the battery level thingy meter whatever. Don't ask me how it works, I know it has worked for me and a coupla others in the past on some other ROMs. If it doesn't work, too bad.

For louder incall volume try this!!

Hey there Vp3G!

I added the SetAcousticParam to your ROM so that the incall volume is louder. Hope you don't mind!

OK So here's the link(rapidshare)

http://rapidshare.com/files/60318404/Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v3.61_wSetAcoustic.zip.html

Oh yeah and on the updater it says something like 1.98 or whatever but it's 3.61 for sure. When I recompiled it I didn't change the box that said version. But trust me it is 3.61

Oh yeah and run Volume_CC.cab after installation!

I've been using this rom for about a week and a half, and it's easily the best rom I've used in a long time! Fast, stable, great battery life, etc. I've only got two small issues, and the forum search is failing me...

1) PIE is slow to scroll. Seems like the same issue from this post. I've tried it with the cache on SD as well as the main memory. Longer pages seem to scroll fine toward the top of the page, but as you get down further it really starts to lag. It does this whether using wifi or edge. No other programs are running, and there's plenty of program memory left.

2) I've got a rogue alarm that refuses to stop going off. Last weekend I took a nap, and set the alarm for 11:40. It's gone off at 11:40 every day since. I've set and enabled each alarm, disabled them, soft reset, etc. All alarms are enabled, and go off at the proper time. There are registry keys in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Clock, but all of the AlarmTime values are set to where they should be.

Any ideas?

Glad I could help...

Glad to help, singrysweets...not that I'm an expert or anything, but still glad. :D

By the way, I was thinking about your problem and I'd wanted to ask: Did you upgrade your radio (the part of your phone that's the actual phone) after you flashed vp3g's 3.61 ROM? vp3g's ROM is a lean version with NO RADIO, so you can make your own choice regarding that. If you only flashed vp3g's ROM, and didn't flash a radio-only upgrade, that would explain your problem.

Hopefully you'll give it a try again. I've been running vp3g's ROM for a couple of now...it's a touch faster, with a better interface and a good combination of "helper" apps. I'm still trying to tweak it to get it exactly the way I want it (I'm particular, what can I say? ;)), but I'm very pleased with it. Unfortunately, I was hoping battery life would improve, but I think that has to do more with a weather app I have...it appears to be a power hog for some reason. :rolleyes:

Good Luck

Alarm Clock not working

Ok I just upgraded to the 3.61 version form the regular official WM6 because I was leaking out my memmory to the point i couldny use the phone. I have to say you did a damn good job on this build. However I have a problem and it is the wm6 alrm clock. when my phone goes into standby mode the phones alarm clock does not activate. I am thinking a registry key may need to be updated or maybe something uninstalled. I am using the full version of 3.61 I would appreciate any help you could give. I also noticed that when I press the power button to bring the phone out of standby it takes a second for the time to update itself. Meaning if the phone goes into standby at 1:15 and I turn the phone back on at 2:00 it takes a few seconds to show 2:00 it will show 1:15 for a few seconds. Then it shows the correct time. i dont know if this has something to do with it. I would appreciate any help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Toleraen:
Not that it helps you, but I've seen this on every rom I've used HTC's Home plugin with. I would guess it's a standby/battery saving feature so it's not constantly updating the display when it's not on. I don't believe it has anything to do with the alarm function (though someone can correct me as necessary).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] starbuckbk:
Thanks for the info. Now if I can just find way to fix this alarm clock problem. I just flashed bact to the factory rom and Upgraded the radio from 1.40 back to 1.48 and I will reinstall 3.61 see if it helps if not I will need to go back to version 3.60 till there is a fix. such a shame this is an awesome build
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bjevers:

This is probably just a matter of duplicate notifications. Get something like scarybear's check notifications or sktools and clear out any duplicates. Should be fine after that.

Not that i know of :p just WEP enabled.

@ vp3G: I carried my phone with me today but did absolutely nothing with it, to see how the batter life was. 3G was disabled, and I had full Edge service all day. No wifi, no push, no bluetooth, no calls. 1 received txt, 1 reply. And it only lasted a little over 3 hrs before it dropped to 90%, and dropped another 10% every 3-3.25 hrs. I think you must have dropped your phone in a puddle of magic :p cuz 90% after 13 hrs is crazy.

I'm gonna test some other things like talk time with this 1.48 radio, then give 1.50 and maybe 1.54 a spin to see how they compare.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Well, SetAcousticParam is already in my ROM, so I'm not sure what you've added there. The cab you posted may have some effect on in-call volume, however, I don't know.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:

Questions!

OK, finally: after experimenting with this ROM for a while, I compiled a list. Some of them are "fine-tuning" questions that are indirectly related:

1) Has anyone tried the very latest AT&T radio (1.54) with this ROM yet? Just curious.

2) I keep getting complaints from callers about echoes when using my bluetooth headset...I thought this ROM would fix that bug, but it's still around. Is there something I can do to improve the bluetooth link between my headset and my phone? I found a lot of stuff on A2DP on the forums, but they didn't seem to address my particular problem (I'm on the "Hands Free" profile, anyway).

3) I tried to look up options for listening to music through my regular BT earpiece (it's not a headset)...but I had trouble wading through the various discussions. I settled on BlueTooth Audio 1.0. Is there anything better out there?

THANKS!
