That's pretty damn weak. My battery's listed as 1100mAh, not 1150. And I get WAYYYYYY longer than that. My BT is always on (not discoverable) and my email does a send/receive every 15 minutes, and if I'm not doing heavy data/phone calls, it can go more than 24 hours. I don't know exactly how long, as I usually charge my phone over night anyway. Maybe you need a new battery.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dubbwilliams:
Completely agree with you, I get way better battery life than what ScrapMaker is claiming.

Maybe your battery is just old?

While away out of town for the weekend I did notice that a lot of switching between roaming and normal can be a big drain on your battery.

I had this problem and fixed mine and my roommates doing the following:

1) open PHM reg editor

2) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/ArcSoft/ArcSoft MMS UA/Config/mm1/WspHeader

3) there should be a key called "X-VzW-MDN"

4)edit the value to be your 9-digit phone number with just numbers and no extra characters

5) you may have to do a soft reset

hope it fixes your problem
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ScrapMaker:
I've had 6 different Vogues, with about 4 extra batteries among the crowd. I've run about 100 different ROMs, with hundreds of different tweaks.

I have never gotten 24 hours of stand-by use, even with everything off.

Tell me what kind of life you get with:

-BT set active/discoverable

-Exchange set to "as items arrive"

-Dashwire set to automatic sync

-SE7EN doing push gmail and yahoo!

-GPSToday running in background (not really doing anything)

-OZ IM connected

-100-300 texts

-10-30 minutes voice

-Very occasional browser use

The biggest drain is BT. That about halves the life right out the door. Combine that with Exchange and the other email, and you have terrible battery life. WM is just not intelligent enough to deal with "staying connected." So until a phone that does, comes out, I will stay tethered to my charger.

There's a reason why so many people get the extended batteries for their WM phones. I don't know a single person in my day-to-day life that doesn't have one.

I am the exception. I wouldn't want my phone being twice as thick.

I *definitely* don't consider myself an expert, but have you tried running a 'cleaner' program like MemMaid? Obviously YMMV, but I had the same issue with the hanging notifications. After I ran the cleaner & optimized for 'extreme speed,' it seemed A LOT better.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find that after a couple of days the phone almost seems to 'adjust' to the new ROM and runs better? Maybe it's just wishful thinking...

Anyway, I definitely agree with you NateFish, even an alpha NFS ROM beats stock by a LONG SHOT!!

Record Video to Storage Card

I'm currently running the 6.1 1.15 rom - I think this has been addressed before - are there any fixes in settings to get the phone to record video to my storage card? It says "unable to create video file" when I try to record to card - any ideas would be greatly appreciated -

Don't know if it's related, but is there a certain/best way to format storage card for Vogue? Is there an internal "format" function like on regular cell phones? Thanks to all who can help -
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] natefish:
Please help

Detroit Doug or NFSFAN:

I reflashed back to stock TWICE.

Flashed back to 6.5 v6, hard reset. STILL...

- Programs not installing--I get "...installation unsuccessful" message

- Blank white box when notifications happen

- PIE crashing
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
I cant say one way or another (hence why I havent answered) I havent had ANY issues installing, messaging, texting, emailing, Installing browsers or apps or running any browsers or apps

Sounds like there is something incompatable going on - but I dont know what

when you flashed back to stock, did you let the customizations run and if so have you tried without letting customizations run then flashing to the 6.5 ROM?

Only idea I can think of

Anybody see this????

http://www.pcworld.com/article/163110/job_ad_microsoft_looking_to_offer_windows_mobile_updates.html

What are our phones going to be like apples Iphones and have Bill pushing lock down software to them????
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] craig0r:
I'd like to do that for you... but it would require a lot of big changes. First off, I maybe send 10 texts a day at most. 100-300 strikes me as a lot. I don't have any Exchange addresses, although I wouldn't mind trying SE7EN for push gmail. I've never heard of it, I'll have to look into that. Oh, and I don't leave my GPS running all day. If I leave my IM client connected all day, the battery does die a lot faster too.

One other thing, I'm pretty sure 1X eats the battery faster than Evdo does. So a lot of texts might be doing it. Also, depending on your coverage area, if your phone switches between 1X and Evdo a lot, that will eat the battery up, afaik. I live in Toronto, so I only see the 1X appear if I'm texting or on the phone.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sean.Thon:
My battery life is crap also, but I don't think it's because of this ROM more likely it's because of 2 issues:

1. I have a bad habbit of leaving my phone plugged into the wall charger or my computer for long periods of time.

2. I'm currently living in a state that sprint doesn't provide service is in, so I'm roaming off the sprint network although my phone doesn't say I'm roaming... and also at times my service is pretty spotty, I'm not sure if this is still a battery drain even when you're not on a call... but I remember from having old nokia and kyocera phones that when your service isn't strong it tends to drain your battery rather fast regardless of how often you use it.

So I can't really say why my battery is crappy because of the above reasons, however I did see a HUGE difference when I changed the titanium weather app to only update manually, that actually improved my battery life by over 50% and my data connection actually disconnects now.

My suggestion to anyone having bad battery life is to set it manual, it only takes 30 seconds or less to update if you really need to know what the weather is... otherwise disable it and do what someone else suggested earlier, step outside for a minute =]
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] natefish:
I know what you're saying. There's no logical way to pin this down. I will try your suggestion and report back.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] steve98:
Really?? Wow. I'm going to reply to this not to brag but because it seemed like you were wanting to hear of others' experiences.

I have a Vogue branded as an 'OKTA Touch' here in New Zealand. I am running NFSFan's latest WinMo 6.5 ROM and am connected to a CDMA EVDO RevA network. I leave the data connection running but everything else (push exchange mail, bluetooth, GPS etc) are all switched off and I just switch them on as and when I need them.

I text occassionally and call rarely, but under these conditions my phone lasts around three days on a single charge.

One thing I would say is that I always charge via USB connected to a PC. I find if I ever charge via a USB power adaptor or car adaptor, the battery life is pathetic and, like you, I find it will last less than 24 hours. So I wonder what kind of charger you are using and whether this has something to do with it. I know you can't always be near a PC but even if you just charge for a few hours in the evening when you get home from work I wonder if you might find your battery lasts longer than it does now, being hooked up to an adaptor.

Anyway, thats my 2 cents. WinMo 6.5 has made this phone usable again, even my wife can pick it up and use it now without getting ****ty and calling it a POS -- that's a huge accomplishment!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] natefish:
Tried not letting customizations run on stock ROM...No luck:mad: This is so frustrating. I don't blame NFS in any way...I just wish there was a solution.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ryan0000000:
Dude, where did you go? I've been searching on your posts on PPCGeeks and found out about your issue. I then googled for like an whole hour and finally got to this. I installed your roms (well, most of your roms in the past too) and totally loved them all. You're the reason why I am with Bell and the HTC Touch, without you man I'll be happily paying my ECF /w no questions asked
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Skyh123:
I couln't agree more. Like it was mentioned earlier in this thread, as well as many others. The whole concept of customs ROMS involves stealing someone's ideas, so why hate on someone who took the same concept of the community, and added his name to it. As far as I'm concerned this is the same as taking ANY rom apart adding a few things and calling it SKYSROM. Unless you have personally made a ROM from scratch and have your own OS running on it just leave NFSFan alone as he is only doing what is promoted by the comunity in general.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] 1970mueller:
Very Happy

This ROM is the first I've used where the tf2 does not EVER crash out like most of the other Roms I've tried.

Hope you can add the in call volume fix that I hear VetVito figured out. Be sure to give him creds though :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shaken:
Where is the Alltel love? Can I just use the Sprint rom for now?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
The incall volume is tied to the dialer. The opal has the dialer, but its GSM. However I will be porting the Diamond dialer, which is very similar to the opal one.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] 1970mueller:
ROM

It's true like I said, Vet has fixed this apparently- but look at his current offering. No camera, and full of bugs while he cleans it up. I am still on this ROM, seems to be great on stability and battery power is really sort of unreal. The only Rom that I remember having such low usage was DH's.

What I like about this ROM:

no cube- why do people still include it (with the Sprint stuff burned in!)

stable-no hang ups or crashes that i've experienced.

tf2-works well, no crashing and the newer customizer on xda works great

gps-working as good as all the others out there, great.

software-he's got the basics in there, but not so much to kill the thing.

thanks for the ROM, look forward to updates.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Like me he got it all from the stock opal preshipped rom... InCall works because he included the GSM dialer from the opal in his kitchen. However, this dialer, like most GSM dialers breaks data arrows for CDMA phones, and also kills the phone codes like ##778#...I'd be more than happy to work with vetvito and possibly help him port the GSM dialer to work properly on CDMA. This is hard work, and it will take time.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] gguruusa:
Why would that be hard work? There's nothing to do.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] gguruusa:
What kind of power draw do you see in acbpowermeter?

also, how much battery life do you get? what kind of usage leads to that life?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] 1970mueller:
Good Rom!

I like the Dialer just fine, it's nice to have the data arrows lit or unlit. I think he meant he could help port the Opal dialer to CDMA, since it's already set for GSM.

Sprint TV doesn't seem to work though after I install it, is this a known limitation or something that can be added? I figure there may be a problem since it's not in the basic Sprint version, but Sprint Mail and software is in there....? Thanks for the answer!

Other than sprint TV and the in call volume, this rom is really really good, no matter how it came to life.

My battery lasted from Friday afternoon till Monday morning, and it wasn't below 30%. Other Roms, I'd get a day perhaps. I use Windows Live email and have it set to sync as items arrive at hotmail.

** Perhaps NFSFAN will let y'all steal his settings, he definitely did something most others are not incorporating to their kitchens.

Love your ROM's NFSAN, they are simply the best for Bell Mobility. I've been using your work since v1.10

Yours was the first stable M2D ROM, and faster than the others.

Can't wait for you to post a non-M2D version so I can get my plugins and landscape mode back!

Ever since I flashed 6.5 v6 onto my phone, I kept getting problems where most of my system files get deleted for absolutely no reason at all. Then I'd have to reflash my phone or hard reset to fix it. The R2 version is worse.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
R2 version can't possibly be worse. Nothing has been changed except the modulation, and I optimized the sys some more.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Take out your SD Card. Reflash the ROM, then try installing one program, but not from the SD Card, just copy it to the phone's internal memory.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Spalla:
But my phone (with v6) can't go a day without half the WINDOWS folder getting deleted.

So if your windows folder did get deleted, then your phone wouldn't boot.

well like Ive stated a few times, utilize the MSN weather widget

Titanium Weather is nice but issues with Titanium and CHome and Titanium customizers have their issues as well at this point

this is all pre-release software and apps created for pre-release software

it takes time to work the bugs out, one of them at the moment is the issie with the date being cut off

I actually dont even use the titanium widget simply as I want multiple cities when I want to know the weather (after all Im right where I am at, I know what the weather is at that place LOL) and with the MSN widget I currently have 5 places and no issues with forcing a change to CHome that at this point is a hack of it not a stable fix plus doesnt access the net, drain the battery, etc until

Never had a problem until today. had 6.5 v6 r1 on sprint. working great for the last week or 2. today tried opening nsfan opera and wouldnt open. then i couldnt open dialer or contacts either, soft & hard reset many times nothing worked.

finally just flashed to r2, installed all my programs again but when i soft reset it, it gave me the "touch the screen to Start" AGAIN and ran customizations AGAIN really screwing up the apps and everything else

Flashed back to original stock rom. then back to 6.5. Everything worked great accept GPS didnt work. kept reinstalling the sprint gps 6.5 fix but wouldnt worked. Looked at radio and it had reverted back to 3.42.30, so i updated radio to 3.42.50(as i had it before flashing to stock). Now GPS works great.

All is well for now. Maybe someone else having similar problems and this might help

By the way NFSFan, i love 6.5 w/m2d! Good job
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ScrapMaker:
Oh, well I mostly charge with a desktop charger. I am not complaining about the ROM at all. I just have realistic expectations of what this phone is capable of.

anyone?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] sshark:
Pl don't jinx my phone but with 6.5 v6 r1

Never had hard reset issue

Phone does not freeze

All programs including GPS works fine

Memory usage goes up to 65% but does not hamper phone performance

Battery life is almost same as before

Both WM 6.5 and M2D work well

GPS is fine

And finally, NFSFAN's ROMs rock

Only problem is when I dial ONE - ONLY ONE specific number (my wife number) from memory or dialer, phone goes into Emergency mode. After that I can not receive calls or make calls (except 911). With this, EVDO is switched off and phone switches to 1X. Very weird. This happens only when I am using new dialer. Does not occur on old HTC stock dialer. :)

NFSFAN any chance you would bring SMART DIALING options in dialer back?
