Telus 2.3B2 First look

Feels marginally less snappy than B1 and Touch feels slightly less precise than B1 but still very acceptable.

Current Discharge not as good as B1--BT off 13/84, BT on 17/97 compared to 13/73 & 17/79 on B1

I don't know what impact this will have on battery life but to give you an idea what B1 did, I turned the phone on at 7:30AM made about 6 5 minute phone calls plus one 5 minute and one 20 minute call connected to my BT hands free device. I also looked at my schedule half a dozen times.

As well I recieved 48 emails glanced at them all, read some. Battery was at 60% at 5PM

Plus I loaded B3, set all my personal settings and installed 5 apps and my battery is still at 50% at 6:30PM

I suspect B3 will be not quite as good but just slightly less battery friendly as B1 which to my mind is more than acceptable.

I will report on actual battery life tomorrow evening.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
strange... i find B2 to have SIGNIFICANTLY better battery
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bobbenedetti:
Anyone see this?

Sometimes when I do something with high current draw(e.g. a long BT call) that heats up the phone the TouchFlo graphics go wierd. For example the white background of the calendar looks like a cracked window. In fact the first time I saw it I thought I had somehow cracked the screen. The tabs at the bottom also look a little fuzzy. Something like when you see a colour picture in the newspaper with the colours sligtly out of registration.

This effec only shows on the touchflo screens, app screeens or program, settings etc. look fine.

A restart fixes it.

Any thoughts?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
don`t have a BT headset. can someone else confirm plz?

also, was this only on b2 or b1 and versions before 2.3
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] itsallsubliminal:
ok guys, so there were rumors that the WindSprint Rom was the "fastest and best" out so far... lemme tell you why i decided to come back to juicy's rom after only one hour....

I flashed the rom(which has a 16mb pp) and had 91% battery after the flash. then played with tf3d a lil bit, it was glitchy and choppy and not nearly as responsive as juicy's...

Then i thought maybe i had to fill up some of the pagepool and it should work smooth.... not really :(

So i installed most of my programs and registry edits, which only took like 8 mins.. soft reset 2 times total...

Then i hit opera 2392(which was in the rom, but did not enable the new zoom feature) and browsed for no more than 10-12 mins TOPS. Also, i would on average get around 520kbps speed test with windsprint... but with juicy, my LOWEST was 957kbps... most of the time 1200.

I made one 4 min phonecall, NO texts and NO email checks...

Then i let my phone sit next to me on the couch UNTOUCHED for 30 mins...

So, after 1 hour of flashing the phone, which included a half hour of NO use, my battery was at 73%... I lost almost 20% in ONE HOUR!...

Glitchy, choppy and mega battery drainage!?!? No thanks... I'm stick wit your roms juicy... Thanks for GREAT ROMS!

BTW the Windsprint rom looks like the sprint rom just with some minor alterations... i wasn't impressed and it reminded me of the oem sprint rom, BIG TIME..

I recommend stickin wit the Juicy Juice

o and btw, i bumped the pp for juicy 2.2 upto 20mb and battery has still been great!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
thx for the kind words... i still think the bad battery is sprint`s fault.... it is radio related
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bobbenedetti:
On everything including stock
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
Is it likely that Sprint will update the radio? Is a problem like that commonly fixed?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] billo007:
2.03b2

After running it since this morning at 9:am, I noticed that the battery went from 100% to 92% in 2 minutes, tried it again tonight fully charged did the exact same thing, seems to stabilize after at around 92 or 93%.

update

30 min later on standby, 91%

trying to find the link to the 2.3B sprint
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] klmsu19:
you do realize the B means beta as in his beta testors not the public yet which is why theres no link. the only version out to the public is 2.2 currently
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
Please for the love of god, can people stop PMing me about beta testing.

the answer is NO

there isn`t even a sprint beta, so stop asking until I decide to do a proper release.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
well i don`t know how to do it but youll need to wait until someone gets a newer CDMA Radio to install and fix the problem, if that is in fact the cause
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fatboypup:
Im not trying to be a pest and I was under the impression that it was a private beta untill I read this on the other Juicy PPCGEEKS thread. So thats why I asked for the link.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
For those of you who followed me from PPCGeeks, I wanted to say thank you to the Telus donators (never received a donation from a Sprint person) and granted access to a private server with betas of all my new builds. Juggalo gave access to these users, and was just letting them know to check the server for their copy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fatboypup:
Ill be the first sprint person to donate ... whats your paypal info?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] desairs:

ill donate too, let us know the address.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] biggggant:
Juicy,

This is a fix we used on the touch...I don't know why it works but it does..

BTW I had the phone app popping up issue on your ROM
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:

GPS Picture (geotagging) issue

Did anyone compare GSM ROM and CDMA ROM? Looking at the other thread, it is as if the CDMA versions (Telus and Sprint) more specifically have this problem.

Things to look at:

- Camera software versions

- Registry settings There may be differences say, in the MAP DATUM, which would explain why you are off by 400km.

The camera settings were tweaked to enable GPS on CDMA, but there could be some additional parameters missing somewhere else.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
the gsm guys have our same issue. it appears from what i can gather and test that the HTC camera app DOES write the gps data. its just off, and doensnt write the meta data in a form that other programs look at for GPS tagging.

i can open a gps photo in a meta data checker and get no gps dada all 0's but if i open the pic in google earth i get a gps location ABOUT 100 km away parallel to my position. thats the BEST i have gotten it. basically i showed up in the next city to my right on google earth. ive been tweaking things here and there and when i get something worth while i will post it up im egar for this feature just like you guys are as im taking a trip to my cottage this weekend and would have liked for gPS photo to be working :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
can the beta testers please log into the ftp and diownload the lates beta. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] leanne:
Sweet!! Downloaded and flashing it now....

At least I tried to, the ROM wasn't included in the zip, only all the flashing files.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tasteomycheese:
Does anyone know how to back up the contacts in the CDMA phone before flashing the new rom?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
it should, but as most users won't go out and buy gsm headphones i won't be including it in my rom.... i'm sure there is a cab floating around somewhere though...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fatboypup:
heh not like theres is anything good on FM radio anyway :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fatboypup:
Juicy im reading tidbits about a sprint diamond v1.00.25.05 radio .... any info on that and if so might it be included in your next release?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
The idea would be to flash that radio, and then my rom. You wouldnt need to flash the radio for each release of my ROM.

Where did you find it? I can include it on post#1
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fatboypup:
I havent actually found it there is just the interwebs chatter about it ... ill link if i can find something concrete seems this is a GSM radio update sorry for the screw up

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] foxnews:
I had Juicy Rom 2.2 and the battery drain was so bad that I just want to go back to stock sprint rom. Both juicy and Windsprint ROMs are based on Ghetto/tonychrist kitchen. Different carrier and Radio Roms have different battery drain. so I don't think there are much difference in term of battery drain if you have the same Radio/carrier. the main difference is that Juicy is more for telus and Windsprint is for sprint.

I have Windsprint ROM now and battery is better a tad. with Juicy rom, I also have an issue of internet sharing keep disconnecting. other than that, Juicy Rom is great.

I even spent two nights and built my own ROM based on Ghetto kikitchen. it is too much time consuming.

I love WM and Diamond which alow me to play with so many Roms and configurations.

I am finding the 2.3 b3 really fast. Things open quickly, opera is quick, landscape works well.

activesync actually worked perfectly for me using 2.3 vs the other version.

Great job guys.

So I am back on the 2.2 Sprint. While the WindSprint rom got me slightly better battery life, I didn't like the overall rom and after a couple days it started getting real flaky on me and running ultra slow and TF interface freezing up.

Anyway, I started reading some reports that S2U2 (slide to unlock app) 1.22, which I have been running all along, was hurintg people's battery life. So I uninstalled it and I definitely am seeing improved battery life while idle. Made a big difference there. If anyone else is running this app, try uninstalling and testing.

I will report back on this after running it with the 2.3 when it is released.

Hope this helps.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bobbenedetti:
While I'm downloading B3 I will share my battery life report for a full day on B2 Phone on at 7:30 AM, at 10:30PM battery is at 50%.

about a dozen 5 minute phone calls, half a dozen shorter ones. One 15 minute BT call. 120 emails plus I used the phone as a reminder device for a series of 10 back to back 30 minute meeting with an alarm at +15 and at the end of the 30 min

This to me is very satisfactory battery life for such a powerful smartphone.

On to B3
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tasteomycheese:
I'm having some trouble flashing the rom onto the diamond.

I initiate the ROMUpdateUtility, and the phone goes into Rom flashing mode, but the status bar stays at 0% and the ROMUpdate utility gives a ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR.

At this point, if I remove the battery and reboot the device, nothing is changed.

Any advice?

EDIT:

Upon further research, it looks like I need to unlock my phone? I wasn't aware CDMA phones can be unlocked. Will unlocking it affect my connection with Sprint?

Also, does anyone have a link on how to unlock this phone?

With only 12 hours between B3 and Final when do you have time for a life? I really appreciate the work you are doing here and understand why you get so ticked at some of the complaints.

My thoughts on 2.3 after a day of using it:

Everything seems nice and smooth.

Took it off the charger at 8AM, now at the time of this writing, it was at 2 bars (checked the Battery settings). Did quite a bit of browsing today, so I don't think I can really blame it on the ROM. :p I'll see how the next few days go.

Looks like switching to landscape in Opera works flawlessly for me.

Nice work on this version, Juicy. :) I hope to finally take a break from all this flashing, unless you put in something big in the next versions.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] billo007:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jgillard:
Something sort of odd. My battery has been at 2 bars since 5pm and has not moved. And it is not like I have not been using the phone since 5 pm. Text messages, and phone calls. It did seem to get down to 2 bars rather quickly, but has been sitting there.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] costak:
Juicy,

awesome work so far! :)

I have a question for you. When I get a call, the phone starts flashing first (the hardware keys and the wheel) and 1-2 seconds after it rings. Is there anything that can be done in a future rom to make the ringing come out at the same time the flashing starts?

Sometimes by the time I hear the phone ring and pick it up, they hang up on me (impatient bums!)
