I wonder if all English apps can be used on Chinese ROM?

Just a note, the WM6.1 ROM sucking battery like mad, it can effectively drain from 100% to 15% in 1.5 hours of GPRS and Internet News reading! :o I know there is a battery saving patch, is it really worth it? I mean how much performance this patch reduces and how much battery life it can save? I need to have a good balance between the two.

K
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] gh0st-:
should i empty, format the sd card first? or i can flash it with other stuff in my sdcard?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
Almost all the English app can be used on Chinese app. I don't think the new 6.1 rom drains battery like that. I also uses GPRS(EDGE) connection a lot. But I think the battery life is just like the previous 6.1 ROM. If you do not like the patch, you can manually turn on the power saving settings on Schap's Advance Settings.

Oh, if you restore the PIM info especially SMS, the system will be very slow for a while. At that time, it drains battery fast too.

There is a free ResInfo app that can measure the battery life.

You can report the battery life time to me.

Mine without patch, mostly GPRS and TTS book reading through BT headset. No phone call, a few SMS. 1200MAH non-OEM battery.

Suspend: 21 hr

On: 5 hr 31 min

From 100% to 20%
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
You can try without formating first if you do not like backing up. If it fails, you need to format your card. Also, cards less than 1GB is recommended.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
Thanks!! BTW, there are so many .cab within the attached .zip which one should I run? or do I need a Windows box to run the setup.exe?

Yeah, I have jumped from b39 to b110 then b135, and I noticed the battery drain from b110 onwards, so compare to b39, WM6.1 sucks a lot more battery juice, and I don't think it can last me a day the way it goes.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] gh0st-:
my sd card is 1gb :((
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
sd card under 1gb is recommended, some people here have succeeded with 2gb or 1gb, so you can still try, if you are still getting the old wm5 after flashing, it means you need to get/borrow an sd <1gb size, It will not kill your phone using SD card upgrade method.

Hi guys

I have a problem after i flashed to rom b135 update 14

all of my storage memory is full with nothing left

I have all the previous program installed when I was using rom update 13

Pocket Clock, Opera 9.5, Ringo 1.4, Garmin XT, Core Player, Pocket RAR, Resco File Explorer, Resco Photo Viewer, Resco Brain Games, Universal Converter, SPB Shell 2.1.0, Touchpal, XCPUScalar

and I should have 9MB left in storage memory

any idea what's wrong?

Thanks
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] m4rc3l1n0:
I found the problem

Pocket Clock is eating all of my storage memory

but it doesn't when i used rom b95 pocket clock seem to be working fine
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] BesFen:
I didn't find this in my setting, is this an app to reduce Battery consumption?

if I downgrade the processor speed, like 200 Mhz (htc is here), is this can reduce the battery consumption too?

do you have app to underclock or overclock processor speed?

Thanks.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
Which version? 1.0 is working fine here.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] jimmyspa:
Let's try install Chinese IME. previous version freeze the machine.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
The advanced configurator has a few settings that can turn on the power settings on some devices.

In theory, underclock the cpu will give you better battery life. But in my test, it do the opposite. Also, the device will be slow comparing to other 200MHZ devices like HTC Touch.

The battery life on my device is OK. I think 5hr and above will meet my need. The new 6828 OEM battery with wm5 can give me 7hr battery life. But after a year, the OEM battery gives me only 2.5hr on WM5. Now the OEM battery can barely give me 2hr on the current ROM.

My new 1200MAH compatible battery gives me slightly more than 6hr battery life on my wm6 ROM. Now It gives me about 5.5hr on 6.1 ROM.

I know the comparison is not scientific because I have never do a battery consumption test on all the ROM at the same time. But I hope my battery report will be helpful.

The direct push mail reduce battery life dramatically especially on 6.1 ROM. It gives me only 4hr life on my b95 ROM.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
It may still freeze the machine!

Hanwang's MaLanHua is tested not working at all(It disables the touch screen).

I am looking forward to your report, thanks.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
WM5 used to last me 2 days with moderate use... now not even half a day. Though I have to admit my 6828+HP battery is already 2 years old.

On WM5, on standby with no use, it uses 8% over 8 hours, so around 1% an hour, on the latest b135 WM6.1, it's like 4% an hour.

I tried the resinfo, it gave me 1hour14min standby and 14mins active, battery drops 45%, the phone then crashed when I launched a website in IE that stopped the monitoring.

I doubt it's the battery as b39 power consumption isn't as bad compared to WM6.1, can't see how battery deteriorate so much from flashing b39 to WM6.1

I will use acbPowerMeter to test further, on my virgin HP WM5, with no GPRS push email, and screen brightness set to minimum, the average power consumption is 80mAH (range 68mAH to 110mAH over 5minutes), I have done a lot of this when phone was still on WM5, so this figure is more accurate in measuring power consumption regardless of the age of the battery.

Other than the battery consumption, I really have no issues with the ROM, happiest ever! Thanks.

K
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
Your battery life is so poor! The battery level drops only 10% for 8hr when phone is on or 2% when phone is off . acb says the current is 90mA to 120mA when I do not use the phone with second dimmest backlight and gprs on.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
Yeah... that's how it was on WM5... when you said phone is on, did you mean in standby mode with phone radio on? and phone off mean phone radio is off?

I tried to do the same thing as you did, it's about the same between 85mA to 130mA... may be about time to get a spare battery.

K
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:

Thanks Helloworld

it just freeze up, nothing shows up and eating all of storage space slowly

with this many programs i will need more storage space

when i was trying to delete some of the files in the storage place, i found a misterious file 1-nature_15fps.mp4 (file types is brogent mp4 file) and it is in ROM file so i can't delete it

I want to mention about the battery life

I noticed that it is shorter than the previous b95 rom

and the backlight won't kick up at ac power (brighter when you tap the screen or push any button)

any idea?

Thanks
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
Yeah Helloworld, other than this file there are also those stupid and useless animated gif and background image files have been included with all Windows Mobile versions, may be need to do some house keeping work for WM :)

HI!

I've tesed new Rom on my hp rw6815 and there's no sound when clicking on start...only on start!and camera patch won't work!

Greeds!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
This time the photosmart works. Copy the hp's camera file to windows folder and add the following registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\hp\hpimgview\downsizing]

"DownsizeApp"="\\Windows\\hpizDownsize.exe"

"Supported"="jpg;"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\hp\hpcamapi]

"Internal"="\\Windows\\hpmobilecamapi.dll"

The hpcam will work.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
If they are located in windows folder, they won't take any user space. If they are located in other folder, you can just delete them.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
The 1-nature_15fps.mp4 is from the Arcsoft MMS.

The backlight will be brighter when you plug in the AC. What's problem?

The battery life should be nearly the same as b95 because I haven't changed the drivers and settings. There is a StartSAT.lnk in /windows/startup/ you can delete it, because the STK is not working in the current version(I have fixed in the next version). Also if you do not use push mail, you can set up a fake server in activesync and change the schedule to manual. This will prevent the activesync from auto starting. Use schap's advanced settings to modify the SD card power saving settings.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] m4rc3l1n0:
the backlight will be brighter just right after i plug in the ac power but after it dimmer it won't get back to brighter again even after I poke the screen and push any button

It will be brighter again after I plug out the ac power

:)

It is so strange

It didn't happen on the previous roms
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
I can not reproduce the problem. Do you use original charger? Do you use some app that manager the backlight? And Have you chosen the "turn on backlight when ..." option in AC tab of backlight settings?

where can i find the hp camera?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] ryan2cc:
I installed the Atom release 1, it is very good. Thanks!

However, the wireless manager is not working properly, it cannot show the interface and just have the white screen. But, when I click the white screen, it is still perform the bluetooth, wireless activation/deactivation. Perhaps, only the display has problem.

Also, the camera is not working very good too, it is always flicking during preview.

Happy guy but could be happier

Using b135 for few days & got a shock. 1/2 hour on 1st night surfing, IM, navigating around changing settings & next morning after 15min shutdown on me 1st time in 2 years (battery flat). :mad: Charging very slow initially & when reach around 2/3, jump to 100%. From what I read in this thread it's WM6.1 & WM6 using b39 would have better battery life. Am I right?

Since day 1 I refrain adding apps/utilities so as to have more available space & try to be happy with whatever comes preinstall.

1. Is Today Panel part of WM5 or inserted by HP?

2. Overall sound is OK but clicking on Start > Shortcut does not give out any sound. Normal? WM5 do.

3. Headset icon doesn't come on when my BT Motorola H3 is connected.

4. Phone & Contacts softkey is standard? Phone is not necessary because can be activated by Send or End key.

5. Where can I set to switch on when any button is press. Can't find.

I know about the options of PDA Status, Schapp, Today Panel files out there but like I said try to minimise adding if possible. Thx.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
b39 would have better battery life. Am I right?

A: b39 have better battery life because: 1. It has power management patch pre-installed. 2. Homer has done a special tweak to the kernel modules(He keeps this info secret, so I cannot apply to wm 6.1).

Since day 1 I refrain adding apps/utilities so as to have more available space & try to be happy with whatever comes preinstall.

1. Is Today Panel part of WM5 or inserted by HP?

A. It is a HP's OEM software. I do not have enough space to install it. Also it is not so good.

2. Overall sound is OK but clicking on Start > Shortcut does not give out any sound. Normal? WM5 do.

A. It is normal. MS releases without these sounds on wm

6.1. I've never deleted them.

3. Headset icon doesn't come on when my BT Motorola H3 is connected.

A. Normal in wm 6 or above. Press phone button, you will see it. Because this is only useful for phone calls. A2DP icon will display normally.

4. Phone & Contacts softkey is standard? Phone is not necessary because can be activated by Send or End key.

A. Default settings in wm6. MS is stupid, right? Oh, maybe some devices does not have phone keys.

5. Where can I set to switch on when any button is press. Can't find.

A. There is no way currently. I don't know how to add these settings currently. I may figure out later because someone has alreadymade a rom with it.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] hochengsoon:
Thx for your prompt reply.

0. I guess got to compromise performance on b39, sword has 2 ends. Original WM6 & 6.1 also have this battery issue?

1. What's your personal recommendation to replace Today Panel?

2. Actually I prefer without the sound.

3. Ya, I notice that. Just that it's useful to know whether your headset is on/off. By the way what is A2DP?

4. Stupid@#$%! It must be MS. Sigh... Schap can reconfigure but I'll bear with it. No 3rd party if possible.

5. Thx for trying.

My I ask your comment on WisBar Advance 3. Inteface looks better than cluttered SPB PP. PP Ok with my friends Axim VGA (640 x 480) than QVGA.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
It will take me some time to figure out the battery problem. It is because I, of course, do not have the source code or something of the Windows Mobile. So I have to try different combination of exist modules and test the battery life. This is like Darwin's evolution theory. But It is me to select the better one. Solving battery problem or some other very strange problem is not very technical but tedious.

About the WisBar Advanced: I haven't used version 3. Version 2 is good. I have used it for some time in the trial period. But finally I switched to SPB. Version 2 have some memory leak problem, it will eat much memory. Also I personally prefer the today plugin than menu bar because I only access very-frequently-used programs through menu bar. They are always in the last used programs field in the original menu. And, I prefer the gesture of SPB that pop out the current processes.

The SPB is a little bloated and expensive comparing to WisBar. I only used the today plug-in, close button and battery indicator.
