Yep, 1.54.30.10! I'm running 5 SPB packages (Mobile Suite, Phone Suite, Diary, Weather, and Pocket Plus) and a couple of other commercial software packages such as Resco Explorer 2008 and MemMaid. This time I stayed away from any "patch" cabs or third party development software that I didn't have absolute knowledge about. My experience reading the forums is that a lot of battery problems come from third party experimental software or using cab fixes that were meant for other ROM versions or hardware.

I'm going to leave it disconnected and idle for another 24 hours (36 hours total) to see what happens. I have FlexMail 4, which should be checking mail every two hours. However, I'm not sure it is automatically updating. I'll leave that for another day. My additional "other day" project will be to monitor memory drain. This is another area that needs attention.

I'll be on a three day road trip this week. This will give me a chance to monitor the battery discharge with "normal" use. I'll start the trip with a fully charged battery and refrain from recharging. I want to run the battery as low as practical before charging.

CRC,

I've seen the no sound issue a few times now. and can't seem to make any sense out of it. The first few times was after I made a call using VC and bluetooth headset, but now that's not the case. The last time was as far as I can see, completely random. Here's a list of my installs. See if any of these should confict.

MS Office and Windows Live provided by rom

VC provided by rom

Sleuth's ATIFix

HTC Home

Emnutz HTC Home Customizer

Total Commander

Kevtris 2

RJV SMS Scheduler

TCPMP with all plugins

oh and I have the Vistahide Battery Bar program running. But it had done it before I used this prog, so I don't know if it's a factor at all.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Just in case we missed it, what is your phone type, radio version etc etc, so we know?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chasmanian:
it's a herm200 with 1.54.30.10 radio.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
So you got no sound after switching to vibrate? and coming back out of it? or what sound are you referring to? I would say hard reset your phone and not install anything esp that vibraswitch? As I don't have that problem at all, I use spb phone suite 1.1
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chasmanian:
it doesn't seem to be related to the vibra switch program. i have used vibra switch on other roms for a very long time without incident. i can't create the problem myself. i've tried everything i normally do. it seems to happen on return from standby like thvoss suggested.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chasmanian:
here's how i usually discover it. at some point, i will notice that the phone which has been sitting next to me for some time, will be blinking as if i've missed a call. i will check it and see that several calls have been missed, and the volume icon has the x next to it, indicating that it is disabled. no sound. i can turn it back on, but the point is that i've now missed several calls.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
As mentioned earlier, I have no problems with this, and I have not missed any calls, after coming out of vibrate mode even with the standard htc HOME plugin. How do you flash your ROMs? may be you need to flash with the shipped ROM first like I do and many others have advised? Some people don't find it useful but I do.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chasmanian:
i always install the htc wm6 shipped then the custom.

i decided to try your advice as well as crc's and see what happens. i reflashed today and have added nothing but keeptrack which i comletely rely upon, htc home and its customizer, and esmertec. that's it. we'll see what happens in a few days.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Every now and again I always have to 'reboot' so power off the phone using the button on the side for a few seconds and then power that back on again. Nothing major it's windows mobile like a computer needs a reboot.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ziadd:
^True, this is the first ever rom I tried flashing and I loved it. I tried other ROMs but this is still the best as far as the core and responsiveness.

Is there a way to merge two roms together, for example having the core "platform" version (WM6.1 in this case) and all the system files (i.e. like the modified battery.dll) of one rom, and the extROM/control panel items of another (schap's 4.31 full)? Or can I somehow open the *.nbh file/rom and get the cabs out of the extended ROM?

Sorry if this sounds noobish, but although I've researched and read a lot, I haven't come across anything like what I mentioned (maybe because it's impossible :) ) :D

Also, I noticed that after flashing Hard-SPL (the latest version of course), my right led stays solid green when connected to the charger, even though the phone isn't fully charged. :/ (or maybe this is for the Hard-SPL thread)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] AzN_devil:
dont use any programs that will modify your system/phone volume and it will be ok

eg. alarm/profile programs

for some reason this rom/wm6.1 doesnt like its volume being modified through other programs

i had the same issue with phoneAlarm

CRC,

hope you'd realsed 12.0 in this thread. now that you've release 12.0 in a very old thread , everything has become confusing.

anyway, i hope you'll come back soon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
I'm having the same problem with SPB Phone Suite. I get an asterik along side the profile icon. I lose both call notification sound and vibration. I have to go in and select the icon to get it back to normal.

This post may help clear up some confusion:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1871117&postcount=3

Basically, Development stream is the beta testing. Stable is the final product. When the beta becomes stable, it moves over to the stable thread.

I have still noticed a few minor issues with v12.0, so 12.1 will be released next - which will become 11.1 if no more issues are found.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
thanks bro. it's good to see u back. what minor issues with 12.0 ? i haven't come across anything yet. maybe it's because i don't use many of these spb ..etc. apps.

frankly, i've found 12.0 smoother & more robust that 11.0. it's a great rom. i love it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
See: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1871114&postcount=2

btw: Can we please keep v12 and v11 subjects in the appropriate threads - this helps stop confusion between versions...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chasmanian:
I have installed no sound altering programs at all. Still find that it happens on occasion. Usually when I'm in vibrate mode and let the phone power off on its own. Still an awesome rom though otherwise.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I've had a play with this and I'm still unable to reproduce it...

Does it happen when you use the ROM as stock and not install any other applications? Try a hard reset and JUST use the ROM as it is and let me know if the problem still happens...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] brainstewn:
White screen

I installed CRC 9 & 11 and the screen goes white a couple of times a day. If I quickly hit the power button a couple of times after 30 or so seconds I get my fully functional screen back. Any ideas why the screen goes white but is still functional. I know it's still functional because it went white while I was dialing a number and I could still hear tones but could see the dial pad just blank white screeen.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Sounds like a hardware issue. Get someone who knows the insides of your device to check the cable going to the screen... If this is loose, you can see this problem as the LCD loses signal...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chasmanian:
i'll give it a shot and get back to you crc. it has yet to actually miss any alarms, as i reset before bed. i can deal with missed calls. but i would like to solve this, so i'll let you know what happens.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] addicus:
Hey CRC,

I'm new to the Hermes forums because I just got my 8525 yesterday. First thing I did was put HardSPL on it and flash it with this rom. I really enjoy your rom. It's not jam packed with too many programs but I have a lot from my 8125 that make the phone just what I want.

I have had one issue. My Plantronics 590 (stereo) pair up with the phone with ease and I can use them for phone calls. What I can't do is get my music to play through them. What am I missing? Also I would like to make sure the music plays in stereo and I don't see anywhere to turn the AD2P on even though it's in the bluetooth stack.

Thanks ahead of time for your assistance and please keep up the great cooking.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Hey there, you may want to try this build instead with the updated blue tooth stack. Same base for stability... peace!

Games

I love this rom, I have tried almost all the other there are, and this one has been the best, and the fastest!

When I have some money I will defo chuck a few ££ your way to say thanks.

Anyway, onto the point, the basic games that come with WM, where as they are nothing amazing, they are quite good for passing some time.

I have tried the "CRCs 10.4 Games" cab, and it just says It cannot be installed, I have tried installing it on the device, storage, re downloaded ect, what am i missing?

Thanks

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I'm working on this.... There'll be a huge update in the next month or so to make peoples life much easier, but it takes a lot of work behind the scenes...

At the moment, the games CAB won't install because solitare.exe exists as a 0 byte file in \Windows. The file can't be deleted and I'm not sure where it's coming from - as there is nothing like that in the kitchen...

This means it's sourced from somewhere else - maybe an initial database or something funky - but I haven't managed to track it down yet...

A followup on this problem. Background: I have my "Turn off backlight if device is not used for" set at 2 minutes when on battery power. I also have my "Turn off device if not used for" set at 2 minutes when on battery power.

I was on a telephone call using my bluetooth earphone (Plantronic 510) when the backlight turned off. My bluetooth connection was lost with the telephone conversation reverted to the device. I finished the call and checked my SPB Phone Suite profile and the icon changed to include an asterisk. This is an indication that the profile had been modified and the sound and vibration were turned off.

The first thing I'm going to check is why the device backlight dumped my bluetooth connection. I sure it was the backlight that did this because my device did not turn off. I may try to modifiy the settings with the backligh going off at 2 minutes and the device turning off (standby) at 5 minutes. This will make sure that I correctly identified the problem source and that the two functions don't conflict.

The second will be to determine why the asterisk continues to pop-up at inopportune times. BTW, this is also an issue on the SPB Phone Suite forum.

Great Stable and Fast ROM, PTT issue...

Thanks!

I was using Schaps' 6.0 ROM which was loaded but slower than WM5. Now this CRC ROM is fast and light, possibly faster than WM5. I installed a few add-ons...Advanced config, TCPMP, HTC Home and Metrix.

Noticed one issue though: Cannot get the PTT button to work on this. (I have a Cingular 8525) Tried the default button assignments for recorder, tried assigning it to Calculator and Tasks. Both Press and Hold as well as regular Button 5 don't seem to work.

Update: Found "SJ Sleuth_PTTFix.cab" somewhere on these forums and it works fine now. PTT button is fixed and can be assigned to anything.

Also the Press and hold for the CommMgr button to toggle from Vibrate to ring and back does not work.

Update: Found "CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-NOICON.CAB" somewhere on these forums and it works fine now.

Also for the games the posted package was generating SHCreateMenuBar Failed message in Jawbreaker. Found "FixedMSGames.CAB" somewhere on these forums and it works fine now.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

shenoyh
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
Back from the road trip. I let my device sit in standby (unconnected) for 47.5 hours and the indicated charge dropped from 95% to 67%. I also recharged the battery and used the device on the road (unconnected) for 31 hours and the indicated charge dropped from 95% to 31%. My normal telephone use is probably not excessive (made a few calls, checked email, etc.). I probably could have gone 36 hours before charging. One thing that I did note is that the battery charge decreased by about 3% whenever I made a call.

I collected % charge vs. voltage on both runs, and got a pretty good indication of what the algorithm in the battery.dll looks like (attached). What's interesting is the curve is an excellent fit to the data and it seems to indicate that the 95% might be an accurate indication of a fully charged battery.

BTW, a fully charged battery (100% indicated) connect to my computer shows 4.197v with a current of 106mA. This is pretty close to the design value of 4.2v. I think the immediate drop from 100% to 95% is just the charger being disconnected and the device load shifts to the battery, which causes a slight voltage drop.

The reason I went through this exercise was reading comments in this and other forums about the CRC ROM or the 1.54.30.10 radio causing a battery drain.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
Just started to experience this strange problem (maybe not). I've been running CRCs 11.0 for quite a while now (since it came out).

Yesterday, all of a sudden my phone started keylocking itself automatically after it resumes from Standby! If I press the power button to put it into standby, and press the power button again to turn it back on, the device is keylocked.

This never happened before, and I didnt change anything in the settings! Its cool that the keylock activates automatically, but I prefer it not to. Anybody have any idea where I can configure this?

UPDATE: I found the answer! Nothing to do with the ROM. I was using BatteryStatus, and the auto keylock feature somehow got activated while the phone was in my pocket. And one of my calendar items got deleted as well. Maybe the keylock feature is useful afterall...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
I used to have the same problem before I started to use the lock feature. I would drop my device into the holster or into my backpack. After a couple of hours, I would check my phone and find all sorts of programs running. It's more than easy to accidentally press the buttons.

I have the same problem, and I think it is related to Extended Rom supression.

A possible bug: I don't have any "Disconnect" button in the GPRS window, personally.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Not a bug :)

The disconnect button is not required... Just hold down the Red "Call End" button and the data connection will stop...

Or you can kill it from the comm manager...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] raburton:
pocketscumm is just the old name for what is now officialy called "ScummVM for Windows CE", so basically that's what I'm running, or trying to.

Odd that I seem to be the only person having this quite fundamental problem running this application when others seem to be able to run it fine. Next time I do a hard reset I'll certaily try this first before installing anything else, but I really can't see how this could be an application conflict.
