Pointui Forum

Might be good ideia have a look at the Pointui Forum, usually there some questions related to diferent devices
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
What?? Are you suer about this?

Whenever I try to edit a contact within Pointui, all that happens is it takes me to the standard WMContact view. There is no keyboard or edit panel within Pointui.. I am using the newest version..

how did you get this to work??

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] robpet2:
FOR THE BATTERY TRY CHANGING THE RADIO ROM ( WORKED FOR ME, BATTERY WOULD BE DOWN TO ABOUT 50 PERCENT BEFORE I GOT OFF WORK - FLASHED THE RADIO ROM AND NOW IM @ ABOUT 75-80 PERCENT BEFORE I GET OFF WORK 8AM-3PM... AND THATS WITH SPB SHELL RUNNING.. ALSO TRY CHANGING THE TIMES THAT YOUR PHONE POLLS FOR EMAIL )

I was thinkin about switching from spb mobile shell to this pointui... not sure if its worth it... just installed it on to my other phone ( tmo mda ) and it works okay but im leaning more towards spb shell. The part that i do like about the pointui is that you can lock the screen using it, other than that its lacking some of the stuff that spb shell has ( like the weather report for the next 5 days instead of just 2 ) .... I am noticing a few gliches using it like the time at the top sometimes waves a little bit.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
Absolutely!! Just go to the PointUI contact interface, select a contact you would like to edit or test, then in the upper right corner there will be a "pencil" and "Check mark" icon, select the pencil, finally select what you want to edit like a phone number. Voila!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
Thanks for posting it here. What you need to do is simply locate the saved data from the PointUI - Yahoo weather feed. Then a mortscript can be used to save that updated data to the reg location S2U2 uses for it "User Weather" update. In fact you could probably modify code from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=358952 to pull the info on your device from the PoinUI location instead of the internet and you will have what you want.

absolutly Not ! pencil brings me also to wm standard contacts edit. (vers.1.51a, touchcruise, wm6.0 original rom)

But anyway GREAT software, but some things i miss and cant understand why they are not working.

1. autolock after a defined time or when backlight turns off (like s2u2)

2. go back to clock after a defined time (like Ul.launch)

3. real favorits/easy program starting

4. Bug: sometimes touching on icons is not working and i have to use hardwarekeys.

5. scrolling goes in a feeled wrong direction

6. locked icon should be colored, because on the first view you cant see a difference if its locked or not.

7. screen calibration on hardwarekeys is not locked, same problem like s2u2
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
I am running 1.5 and it works great on mine for editing contacts. The autolock will occur but you have to go to settings cog\customize home\3rd option of "Do Nothing when device switched on". This will allow your S2U2 to start automatically according to your defined parameters. If you are wanting PointUI's lock to start automatically I will do some more research.

Can't help on the clock

My favorites programs works fine. I defined them in the windows start bar since that is where the programs pulls the data and all of them work great.

I have the same issue on the screen button presses. I think it is just a bug. When I get myself all the way back out to the primary page the screen taps seem to start working again. It only happens occasionally.

Scrolling is backward from what you are use too but it is so smooth. Don't forget you still have flick to scroll, press and hold, and search by letter.

I agree with the locked icon color. In fact I wish there was more color on the icons as in the original version.

Screen calibration on lock. Well I don't know much about PointUI's lock because I don't use it. I reg mapped the lock icon to S2U2 and it works great. But I have my settings on S2U2 to completely lock down the device when active. It locks up buttons, screen everything.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wearefree:
The main difference between 1.5a and 1.51a is the contact page. 1.5a you get the pointui half-baked keyboard to edit the contacts, and 1.51a you go directly to the wm contact if you want to edit. Besides, 1.51a gives you the option to add a new contact which was missing from 1.5a. The difference is subtle but noticeable if you used both.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
- i wrote "like s2u2" this means what i say: autolock of pointui ? Dont want do have run another fat background application. So this must be done

- go back to clock after 10 seconds should be done

- favorits allow just 7 Progs, and they must be set with links of the windows startmenu, thats not enough and not comfortable enough for such a proffessional software

- scolling is super smooth, yes, but wrong direction for me

- there is a button combination when you press this, windows goes to screen calibration, that is not locked with pointUI and s2u2

BIG PROBLEM: BATTERY GOES COMPLETLY DOWN after 10 Hours ! (or less ?)

Thats what i have tested: completly hardreseted TouchCruise, no other Software. Backlight off, touchcruise not. After 10 hours over night, not doing anything with the phone, no other software is running the Battery ist emty !!

THIS IS ABSOLUTLY BAD !!!!

Im sitting here und writing this lines and can see how the battery goes down !!! Cant belive this !!!!! im loosing 6 or 10 Percent every hour, without doing anything !!!!!!

With Ultimatelaunch and many other software runinng, overnight my battery was just loosing 20 or 30 percent !!!

so this is comletly unusable for any user, there must be a BUG :confused: i really like this software but i cant use it anymore.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wessel99:
I have been using a samsung i780 for a while with PointUI, but after a hard reset a day or 2 ago, the directional pad functions in a weird way.

I use the touchpad as 4-way d-pad and it works ok in other apps, but when I start PointUI, left is down, right is up, and down is left and up is right?

Tried a reinstall and even another hard reset but it didn't do any good.

Does anybody know how this could have happened?

I'm trying with pointui 1.51a. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
Battery and Memory Drain

I am experiencing the same thing. I have come to the realization that I will have to close PointUI when I am not using it and open it as I need to. It sucks that it has to be that way but until they figure it out its my only option. It looks like the developers are discussing the problem on their site. Appears according to his remarks he doesn't believe the program causes much of these issues but a lot of people have responded noting it does.

I agree with him that you will always have to exchange some RAM and Battery for a UI that renders information as quickly and as beautifully as this one does. For me though, to loose all my battery with in 12 hours, no additional programs running and have a memory leak that starts off at only a few meg maybe 4-6mb but end us up double that, I have had to go to the above solutions. My friends with iphones are jelious though. So I save it for eye candy and times that I will have a lot of use that requires quick access...

Here is the link to the development site with the battery & memory issue:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
i tested it again: i loose 25 percent of battery every 2 hours, this means after 8 hours my touchcruise is dead: without using the fone or running any other app. wifi and bluetooth are also off:

This is the absolutly horror. im sorry, but just can warn anyone who needs his phone for job or anyway to use this version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kangmas:
It cause me embarrassment twice when I show-off to my friends. It freeze on me and need to soft-reset. Battery last one day (extended battery) but can last two days after uninstall. (yes, I uninstall it). Wish they solve the problem. :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
i tested again because i couldnt believe:

1. running Pointui: it needs 11,85 % of the battery every hour !!! without using the phone

2. running just windows mobile: it needs 4 % of battery every hour.

there is a bug or whatever, nomatter what these guys say.

this means that pointui needs threetimes more battery when running than wm6.0!

unusable for me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Joezhang:
Just out of interest, I thought I'd try the following - I did a hard reset of my i780 and installed point ui this morning - that is the only piece of software on it.

Checking it 5 hours later, I think it's hitting about 10%-11% per hour! :eek:

I like eyecandy but I like to be able to phone people even more!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wearefree:
Don't understand why so many people are having battery drain issue. On my tmobile wing (OT 4.0 blk lite rom) the power consumption is not significantly higher (may be 1 or 2%) compared to when I used UL.

I think this may be due to the PointUI lock program. If selected lock device when switched on, Home is actively waiting for the resume event then lock the device and this may contribute to the power drain. I use S2U2 (mainly for the full screen caller ID) so I don't use the PointUI lock. Can someone report the battery consumption after disable the PointUI lock (by choose do nothing when switched on)?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wearefree:
Another issue: does anyone figure out how to link to the pointui contacts when pressing the contact button in call panel? It still loads the default wm contacts (or whatever I assigned in the registry, currently icontact 0.6) and it'll be very nice to have the pointui contacts to load up.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kraize:
Okay maybe the reason you people seem to be having issues with the battery because this is an APPLICATION not a PLUGIN. Applications take battery! Just like SPB. If it was a plugin, it would use less battery, but it would also be less customizable.

Kraize
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
Yeah but pointui did not drain like the new version. I can't use a standard battery a whole day without charging.

I changed to rltoday and pocketcm. 1 whole day only used 15% of my battery even with emails and such where pointui got me to only 15% left by the time i left work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] s1nful:
on my lg ks20, when i use pointui and open any application, and that application stays open for more than 30seconds or so, i would not be able to get back to Home. the applications are anything that is not related to pointui, such as the default wm messaging program, pocketcm, etc. i think it's a bug.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. We're currently working with a few people to try and identify the changes that have caused the excessive battery drain. We appreciate your patience.shane

pointui needs 300 % more Power then just wm6, and you really thing this is normal, funny noob :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wearefree:
Not on my device it doesn't, only a few percentage more. The new version of pointui has done a lot of things right and I really appreciate their effort.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pisca:
I'm with Pointui for a long time, in my Wizard, no battery issues, normal as usual, seems that drain problems are with a few devices.

Also if you look at Pointui Forum, might have some conflicts with SPB applications
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
maybe its my device, a touchcruise, but i have this prob with a "naked" hardreseted device, no other software, no wifi, no bluetooth on.

make this small test

, run wm6 without pointUI for 1 hour and with point ui for one hour and look at your battery.

This are my "facts" (Display on, Lights off):

wm6 only: 4 % Battery usage

wm6 with pointUI: 11-12 % battery usage.

and please tell what you got !!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
Mine is a wizard

Running 6.1 amp 2.0 rom.

I was running point ui by itself. No SPB or other shells. Not even pocketcm

To resolve the issue i uninstalled point ui, then installed rltoday, and pocketcm

I also had an issue with the weather on pointui. It wouldn't update on schedule. It would open the connection to the internet then close it immediately, unless i opened it with internet explorer or a seperate app.

This is the only version of point ui i have had the weather and the massive battery drain issue.

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] kosmozat:
Hello everybody,

so yesterday my two year old Mi 5s died completely after crashing 3 times in about 30 Minutes.

After the first crash I noticed that the battery status had suddenly dropped from ~60% to 33%.

Now, after 3 crashes, the Phone seems to be completely dead. No Bootscreen, no status LED when charging.

Also, the phone doesn't even get slightly warmer when plugged into a charger.

It's literally just a brick at this point.

Because of the suspicious battery drop after the first crash, I suspect that the battery just died.

Fortunately I ordered a replacement already, about 1.5 weeks ago.

My question is this:

Would you suggest waiting for the new battery (which should arrive in 2-3 weeks) and hoping everything works with a new battery?

Or would you rather buy a new phone?

Even if you are not an expert, I would still appreciate your opinion. :)

In case anyone wonders, I was using LOS15 with latest(-ish) firmware and magisk, though I suppose none of that matters for the issue at hand.

UPDATE: After removing the battery; plugging in charger; attatching battery and repeated plugging in and out I now have a blinking red LED.

Victory? Not sure .. I still can't boot but at least something is working?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] NightRaven49:
this thread sounds similar to your situation... https://xdaforums.com/mi-5s/how-to/blinking-red-led-death-t3743795

worth a shot before your new battery arrives. and since you already ordered your battery its best to wait for it and install on your phone, while putting your sim in a backup phone. if it still doesn't work then buying a new phone would be the best option.

Probably your device is encrypted, and' that's why your PC can't mount it correctly, boot into TWRP go to Wipe -> Select FORMAT instead, it will clear the internal storage, then try to reconnect your phone to your PC :)
