Excellent test! I like it!!

And now.. my point exactly... With v3.5 (haven't flashed v3.7 yet), my average reads 103mA. A whopping 32% lower!
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Holy crap! I'm still using EA's ROM (I was planning to update on Sunday/Monday), and my average current is 33 mA.

This is kind of scary...
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
I'm wondering if we're on to something here. I would be really interested in whether other people are seeing similar numbers.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
I am on v3.5 and its 64mA.

Is that good?
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Hehe.. Try going to v3.6 or 3.7 and see what it is then... ;)

Mine is fluctuating between 50-100mA.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
My v3.5 fluctuates too... I am watching...
[HTC Tornado] gr8:
@vjgrace, thanks for providing help to this issues.

before flashing one thing - is v3.7 having the same radio then v3.5, so a radio upgrade is nesseccary?

and could you please give me a feedback to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1804547&postcount=490

gracias.
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello folks,

I believe the average current is based off of how many operations (tasks/processes and wireless modules) have been conducted/used...so if you have been running several operations, many that may have utilized more power, your average will be directly affected.

I guess to get a good consistent test, re-charge your phone, be cognizant/aware of which programs (and wireless utilities) have been run, and then test your phone to see power consumption. So it will be

variable across the board

, dependent on currently running programs, amount of wireless use (phone/bluetooth/wifi/ir), each individual's programs (and the history of program use), and the individual program's power consumption. So there are quite a few factors involved to get an average power consumption.

Currently mine is 18mA (v3.7), not surprising, because I haven't really used the phone today.

EDIT:

@gr8,

No radio is included in this ROM as indicated in the first post. :)

As far as "SMS2Go", I don't use this program, so I cannot advise on functionality...but if you are able to receive SMS without problems, then this should not be an issue. If it continues to persist and if you ever have some extra time...go ahead and do a re-flash, but perform a "format BINFS" before re-flashing as indicated here, if you haven't already done so (following this guide). I have noticed quirky behavior if I don't do the "format BINFS" before each flash. I know it is a hassle to re-flash (just a suggestion) but overall it reduces chance of weird/unusual behavior or conflict in your existing ROM.

Thanks for the inquiry, ENJOY!! :)
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
OK, weirdness. After a cold boot, my average current is 143mA
[HTC Tornado] gr8:
thanks mate!

you are right. after the format BINFS and a new flash of version 3.7 including the radio, it works perfect!

you are my hero! thanks again mate....

btw, SMS2Go (http://www.mobile-cc.ch/mccProdukte/mccSMS2Go/tabid/126/Default.aspx) is a great appliation!
[HTC Tornado] gr8:
btw...

any change so backup the right menu (right key) settings? where are this information stored?
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Great, I am glad to hear that "format BINFS" worked for you. :)

Right Menu..."default.menu" in the Windows directory is your backup source. For the left menu, there is another file...I cannot remember what that file is because I never use the left menu, it is not as convenient as the Right menu.

Take Care!!

Problem taking calls

Hello,

I upgraded my Tornado to WM6 through V3.3 a it works like a charm.

Email Push works great with Exchange 2007.

However I have one big problem since. When someone is calling me and I answer the call, I have to wait at least 3-4 seconds before I can hear the caller (seems the caller can hear me instantly). Many callers get the feeling something is wrong and hang up.

Would an upgrade to v3.7 fix the problem?

By the way is there anyway to save the configurations between two upgrades (connection configurations, certificates, ... as it is a pain in the a.. to redo the configs every time)

Thanks a lot,

Cedric
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Cedric,

First off, make sure you have the latest radio...you can get the latest radio if you look in NitroGenious's signature, there is a link.

Additionally, I am encouraging this next suggestion whenever folks see weird/quirky unusual behavior or potential conflict with any of the v3 series (or any wm6 ROM)...try to perform the "format BINFS" using this guide. The first post provides the rationale behind performing this procedure before flashing. I cannot guarantee that it will work, but definitely worth a try.

I hope that helps. :)
[HTC Tornado] illi:
i am running v3.5. After reboot the reading was 65mA. A while later it shot to 497mA. Then drop to 196mA. Then up to 393mA. Its within a few minutes its going yoyo. This scares me. Will it damage my device? I have only PIE and SmartToolKit running.

Think will flash v3.7 in a while.

thanks
[HTC Tornado] sovking:
My Avg. Cur. is 314mA :( (no wi-fi or other running task, so I think is high!!)

Version 3.6 just upgraded.

Probably I'll upgrade to 3.7 and I'll try again. This time I'll do the radio update.

Just some questions:

1) WM6GSMUPDATE.zip what updates ?

2) Updating SPL to the latest indicated by Nitro is necessary ? (I think it's dangerous)

3) The updating of SPL, radio and latest ROM is to be done in any particular order ?

Thanks for your precious work!
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Folks,

Concern about power consumption is understood, but please read post #513. There are quite a few factors which affect power consumption. Also, read Exitao's statement here and then here. There are fluctuations, that is how our units work, really no need to worry unless we start seeing functional issues. These versions are based off of a very good ROM base (Nitro's v5 Greek)...no real need for concern.

Additionally, if you flash a ROM like in the previous post above and you immediately check power consumption, it is bound to be high because it takes a considerable amount of power for the process of flashing.

Thanks and take care! :)
[HTC Tornado] Cedricm:
Problem taking calls

Hi vjgrace,

Thanks but I already have the latest radio.

Oh well I'll give 3.7 a try and see if it improves things.

Cheers,

Cedric
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Thanks vjgrace.

I have a feeling its battery issue. Let me try my newer battery which is about 6 months old compared to the one with issue which is as old as my device. I'll report back.

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] monmon238:
excuse am a biginner and i wanted to know, when you say no gsm in the wm6 rom, does that mean that i won't be able to use the device as a phone?
[HTC Tornado] silfox2000:
I also have a feeling that this ROM takes more power than normal. For 24 hours the battery drops down with more than 50% without any conversations. My battery is 2 monts old. With WM5 it drops down with 50% for 2-3 days. When I play billiard, for example, some times the game freeze for miliseconds. It doesn`t do this with WM5. It can be a game bug with WM6, but I think that some proces is taking CPU time from time to time. This can explain and the issue with the battery as well.
[HTC Tornado] gr8:
look here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1787216&postcount=451. if you install this radio, everything will work just fine.
[HTC Tornado] maionaise:
sorry for my bad englisch but i have a big problem :)

sometimes i have no announcements of incoming calls....

on the other side it rings, but on my side/phone there is nothing, no sound, no vibration or else, only the backlight goes on....

after restart it works fine....for some hours....

its on version 3.7 and also 3.3, other versions i have not testet, but other roms work...

i only installed the german localisation and smarttoolkit...

[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
If folks have unusual behavior (i.e. working fine, then unusual events occur) with the v3 series or other wm6 ROM's, please, please, please read these posts that myself and other members are responding to so it doesn't have to be repeated which leads to increased thread size. The increased thread size makes it more difficult to see relevant responses to a similar inquiry. A similar question has been issued in post #518 and here is the response in #519.

Before flashing any wm6 ROM please follow this guide and perform a "format BINFS" (

if you haven't done so

) to reduce unusual behavior or possible conflict. If the symptoms occur because you

haven't

performed this procedure, there is

no

way of diagnosing the problem when it is a

pre-existing ROM file conflict

.

If you are getting similar symptoms as the above post, please follow the above procedure and READ PREVIOUS RESPONSES FROM MEMBERS BEFORE POSTING TO REDUCE THREAD SIZE

. :)

Now if you have already performed the "format BINFS", please indicate it in your post so the response will not be to perform this procedure. If you still are having symptoms after the "format BINFS" is conducted then there is more of a chance to potentially diagnose the problem and provide the forum with more helpful responses for others to benefit from. :)

This is a stable ROM and it has been running successfully for a couple of months now, so when there are unusual behaviors we need to rule out the basics first (i.e. a procedure that

should be performed before any wm6 flashing

as indicated in the first post and in multiple posts). :D

SENIORS AND OTHER MEMBERS, IF YOU SEE SIMILAR POSTS IN THIS THREAD WITH THE TYPE OF SYMPTOMS AS THE ABOVE POST, WOULD YOU HYPERLINK TO THIS POST TO REDUCE THREAD SIZE? MANY THANKS.
[HTC Tornado] silfox2000:
I always perform format BINFS, so this issue is not due to the previous versions. BUT so far so good. My latest ROM was 3.4. Today I instaled 3.7 and the battery seems to be in good condition. For 3 hours it wasn`t dropped even a percent. I`ll post again tomorrow when I`ll have more accurate information!
[HTC Tornado] maionaise:
sorry i forgot ,i have format binfs...bevor flashing every new rom...
[HTC Tornado] silfox2000:
Well, with this version 3.7 everything works just great. For more than 12 hours my battery has droped down with about 10 percent, which is normal. I just played Virtual Pool Mobile and it runs very smoothly :) Congratulations and thank you for this great ROM.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
It seems that the current used by the phone, or the sates that cause usage are varied. If I were to check after a fresh boot, there's a high average current. If I check after unlocking the screen after leaving it alone for an hour, it's 35 mA or less (right now 21 mA).

It also occurs that we should ask, of those people with high current rates, how many are using OMAP Clock or Tornado Power Control to overclock??

For this to be a useful measure we have to know how it measures and when to measure to provide consistent/reliable results.

[HTC Tornado] ialail:
As I promised here I am providing now my another fresher readings.

At that moment after the whole night of inactivity - when after this my first user operation is in fact the execution of the shortcut: '\Windows\CeleTask.exe 1053' - I have (15 minutes ago): "Avg. Cur.: 4mA"

Just 4mA!

But after running few programs (and afterwards quiting them) this nice value unfortunately has risen to 63mA - but its still ok, isn't it?

I am not convinced if I should upgrade ROM to v.3.7 as I like these animations and also I am not so eager to sacrifice my time of installing and setting once again all my favorite programs...

What do you think, is it worth doing?

LOCK!?

At me a question on a theme of blocking of the keyboard. Why at its blocking it is impossible to make that it reacted we shall tell a current on one button what that? On an example on left top. I on an example constantly carry phone in a holster. From for that that dzhojstik sticks out all time not much burns illumination (From for the battery is very quickly unloaded. In Wm5 at me such was not at blocking the device, all keyboard except for one button was blocked. At whom what washed on this theme?
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
First, awesome rom! i just flashed it on another SDA i got for a friend! god i love this phone :D

I do have one question though, on my own phone, i originaly put the PEE and it changed the T-Mobile opening screen to the gorgeous HTC/Vista look-alike, but this time i just did it with the BinFS/GSM and then the ROM update.

Everything is great, except i still got the T-Mobile white opening screen :eek:

How do i change it? :rolleyes:
[HTC Tornado] luchino san:
flashed yesterday...for me works very well...stable and fast, ABSOLUTELY no battery issues...before flashing I performed a format binfs, then the rom upgrade and finally the upgrade of radio/spl...everything worked like a charm...the only two problems I got:

- a block calling an ivr (4920) of my operator (tim), but I think it isn't related with a real problem with rom or radio

- a block using the java machine (jbed3dmod - opera full screen, very good anyway) and this time soft reset was necessary

talkin' about java midlet manager, any suggestion on which works better with tornado wm6?? I haven't found a clear answer searching the forum :-(

THANK YOU VJGRACE ;-)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Sefy,

This ROM doesn't contain the splash screen (nk.nbf file required to replace the tmobile white opening screen) as indicated in first post, PEE's did have a different nk.nbf file (the file for the splash screen)...the one you referred to. In the first post there is a splash screen in a zip file that you can try and you shouldn't have that tmobile screen anymore. :)

@luchino san

First issue sounds like more of a network/operator issue.

Second issue, with the java midlet managers, you just have to try a few and see what works. If you click on the attachments in the Tornado forum at the heading of this thread (the little paperclip) you will see a java manager in the list called "Cloudyfa_EsmertecJbed"...I found that this worked pretty good.

Take care and Enjoy, I hope this helps. :)
[HTC Tornado] luchino san:
First of all thanks for the fast answer...I agree with you about the first problem :-)

For the second: I downloaded tons of java manager (and read the AWESOME JAVA BIBLE)...I think that cloudyfa jbed is almost at the same level of jbed3dmod (bot esmertec jbed) with your rom...opera mini 4 works very good, the only thing still little annoying is that the view of java machine is not full screen but there is an "empty space" at the bottom..any suggestion on how to solve this problem?

...you can see...your rom is so good I'm here looking for very very little details!! :-D
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
@vjgrace, thanks for that :o

But i was rather hoping to have that nicer HTC/Vista like that was in PPE rom, is there anyway i can replace? (although for now i put the HTC Splash in the link here).

Also, i've attached a smaller and freeware (no nag) version of the tgetfile, took me a long time to get it and it's much better then the one included in the rom.
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
@Sefy,

Here you go, in the below attachment.

@luchino san

I don't use Java Managers (except to test before I posted it), I wouldn't know how to advise, sorry.

Enjoy!! :)

here is the link for jbed3dmod (in case you or someone else want to give it a try):

[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Decimusmaximus7,

It may be possible the camera function has been disabled under "Camera Options" in the "UI Tweaks".

Just a possibility, this is what happens when the camera has been disabled in the tweaks.

Take Care.
[HTC Tornado] decimusmaximus7:
Yeah already checked this, it is enabled.
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hmm, maybe a hardware issue. Has the phone ever been taken apart for any reason...modification or anything?
[HTC Tornado] decimusmaximus7:
No, it was completely stock until yesterday when I did the rom upgrade. I dont know if the camera was working before however. Maybe it was dropped.
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Well the reason why I ask is that this is an unusual situation. A couple things may be the cause, either it has been disabled in the tweaks (and that is ruled out) or the pin between the camera itself and the main board has been slightly dislodged. Not knowing if it worked prior is another minus, unable to rule out a software conflict.

Worse case scenario (and I am only suggesting this because you don't know if the camera worked from the "get go"), you may want to try another ROM (without installing any software) and see if it works. If not, then opening up the phone and checking the pin would be the last alternative (it is just a hassle to do this, even though it is not that hard).

Good Luck! :)

What SPL version are people running with this ROM? I'm running SPL 2.00.0008 and I've been getting partial freeze ups where the clock keeps running, but I'm unable to unlock the phone and so end up having to pull the battery.

Strange :confused: , it should not be doing that, have you been doing repeated flashes or repeated soft resets?

For me this has been quite stable and I can't remember it hanging up on me except if I had installed several cab files one right after another without giving a break in between or soft resetting when it recommends to do so (my impatience :D ).
