I am also experiencing a rapid battery drain. I only used my phone like 5-6 times today and noticed just now it was at 33%. I unplugged this morning at 7:30. Not very good. I think it might be from the titanium weather home tab if you have it setup do to it need connection to update.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
V6 R2 released!!!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] EP2008:
When I brought up battery drain a few weeks ago, I criticized and blamed for running "100 programs at once", which of course I did not.

These new roms are great, but a sacrifice on battery life is guaranteed. I got two days of very heavy use with my extended battery and now can barely get through the day with minimal use... after a hard reset - before A FEW programs have been installed.

I guess you either have to live with it or stick to the OEM roms.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] slillico:
I'm not much of a techie, although I buy lot's of stuff, and logic gets the better of me, My phone is not now experiencing any issues and is working good, before I flashed to stock and back I had flashed all backwards versions all the way back to 129 and still had the hard reset problems. It seemed as soon as they hard reset problems start there is no stopping it.

"Going one module lower, 449" so not that I even know what a module is, if I flashed back to say 129, I'm with Bell, would the module setting of not been different, and if the module setting was different and it still had random hard resets, it stands to reason for me that at least for my phone the module setting may not of been the issue.

I'm nervous about a another flash especially if my phone is working so good right now.

If you don't mind could you explain how the module issue would remain if I had flashed backwards multple issues and still the hard reset issue remain.

I think we put to bed that this issue is happening only to "peeps", it seemed to be pretty common, although I do not know what a "peeps" is, it doesnt sound good and think who ever made that comment should go F-C- himself or give me his address and I'll do it for him.

Thx for your work NFSFAN, I'll be donating again soon.

i think so, set titanium weather every 4 hours(240 min)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sean.Thon:
I'm having the same problem, I set titanium weather to update every 4 hours and to do a full update every 12 hours and my email to sync every 2 but my data connection is always active. I don't have any programs running either. Even with almost 0 use, maybe 20 mins on the phone and couple dozen text messages a day my battery is down to 30% by 5pm
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Simple answer and logic - if its not broke - dont fix it - if your phone is currently running stable and making you happy, dont flash to something else

As for the modules, the easy way, DLL files make calls (modules) too many calls and too much memory is used, too much memory or cross-over access is done - things get all poopy

LOL

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Or disable Titanium Weather and uninstall it completely

Run your phone on a full charge and compare the length of time it lasts

If it IS Titanium weather, then use the MSN weather app as I do and my battery lasts all day with lots of calls, phone interviews and texting

besides, is weather really THAT needed? look out the window LOL

hey guys, anyone who wants 4 columns with smaller icons i fixed my previous post so all is working now..

*fixed selection on the rightmost icons so it is no longer cut off

*fit the most text possible by moving them into two lines

find it here:

enjoy!

also

does anyone have a fix for this:

see how the date is cut off.. is anyone else experiencing this? i tried lookin at the cpl file but all looks right (width is 160 which should be plenty of room) ??
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
OK, dont bogart the info - what caused the cutoff???

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] htctoucher:
haha, sorry.. didnt think anyone would care HOW it was done :D

basically, what i realized was that the entire start menu had been moved over via the string "left "-15"" or whatever amount it was

what needed to be done was reposition the entire canvas to left=0, thus starting it from the left part of the screen instead of 15 pixels left of the visible screen

then, i moved the icons and text to the left to position them correctly and fiddled around with those values until it was centered and all that

i also fixed the text to move into two lines by increasing the height and decreasing the width of the textboxes

not all that hard, just had to realize what was wrong.. i have no idea why the whole thing was moved over 15 pixels.. odd..

but now its fixed! :D

simply unzip the file in the .zip and move it into your windows folder on your device

this will only change your portrait start menu ;)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] huhu321:
I am using V6 and here is my experience about it:

1. Battery lasts longer than usual

2. Phone is much louder now. I love it.

3. I am still using touchFLO despite of the newly beautiful titanium skin because it is just more convinent to get access to programs and contact.

4. GPS Viewer works better than WM 6.1 and WM 1.23. I can get more satilates now, but my GPS of google map doesn't function as well as before. The location is currently unavailable 90% of the time. [p.s I am living in Vancouver, using Bell]

5. Backlight is much brighter than before.

6. Sometimes apps are easier to freeze in V6 when I open many programs. This didn't happen to me when I was using WM 1.23

7. Problem w/ sms msging: Phone was not able to add new words to the dictionary and the input mode is default to abc instead of T9. I like the idea of previous rom version that I can add new words to dictionary and use T9 as default.

Conclusion: I think NFSFan did a fantastic job again and thank you for addressing the volume issue and the constant improving of your beautiful artwork. I love my "new" toy.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Ahhh OK - I looked at that setting of "Left=-10" thought it was a weird setting being a negative - good catch

I have a battery problem on the WM6.5 V6 Rom

If I don't have Bluetooth turned on, the battery is good, about 1% per hour on standby.

If I turn on BT, the battery drops extremely fast, like 10% per hour just on standby. I unplug it before go to bed, the next day I wake up there is only 50% left.

I did not install anything, it is a clean Rom, only difference is the BT
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] htctoucher:
yeah.. the only even weirder thing is that in order to have the selection render correctly centered over the icon, i had to set two negative values (one for left and one for top)

strange.. but i guess it has something to do with it not supposed to be drawn for 4 columns

either way.. all that matters is it works now and the start menu is very usable - now i can get to all my apps as fast as my m2d app launcher :D

Smooth on "small" carriers!

This rom has brought new life to my phone! I am so glad you released it generic so it works with my carrier (cellular south). I have been running since v5 and I never had any trouble with the hard re-sets, I guess i have one of the more forgiving hardware setups!. Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work and donation is already sent. More when I can afford it!!

Weird, I dont have that issue at all

The text in question has been small since I installed V6R2

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] fwaits:
Yeah I see that as well. I hope someone can figure it out, I'm picky about those little details. =(
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Just curious - have both of you installed/configured Titanium Weather or utilized the CHome or Titanium Customizers?

Ive done none of the above mentioned and my text on the Clock-Date area is fine and so far the only installs done was the 4-wide start cpl and the DCD Sprint Carrier cab and changing to Rock and Republic theme then assigning my background (looks good dont it LOL) as well as synching with the PC as of the time I took my screenshot

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] luvgravy:
I was just thinking the same thing. I just flashed v6r2 and my date was the small text you're showing.

When I added the Titanium Weather....my date is cut off.

To prove this is the issue, I've uninstalled Titanium Weather but there's no difference.

Reinstalling v6r2 and the date is correct again.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Solidus_k:
Hi

Just a noob question, If I upgrade to wm6.5 can I still use the qpst configuration?

Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] fwaits:
Yeah seems to be the Titanium Weather that does it. I removed it to try and see if I can improve my battery drain issue and now the text is normal again on the clock time/date panel.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] htctoucher:
appreciate it man, really was sad.. it was like losing a brother

regarding the weawther/date issue:

huh.. i wonder what the titanium weather changes.. ima look into the cab and see if i can see if it uses an old slide cpl or somethin

yup

found it.. seems it puts a titanium_240x320.cpr into the windows with a width of the date at 71.. the one i got from nfsfan rom is 160

ill put an updated one in my windows see if it fixes it

edit

well that was an easy fix.. i changed the "71" to "120"

now the date is no longer cut off ;)

just unzip the titanium cpl file in the zip to your windows directory on your device and soft reset

enjoy!

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] bolt-on:
I want to thank Detriot Doug. I was also having problems with my phone locking up. I updated my PRL, flashed the stock 6.1 then flashed 6.5 v6. My phone has been working flawlesly for 48hrs now.

I did notice that a couple of programs do not respond to finger navigation now. HTC Audiomanger and PHM Regedit (view keys window).
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Not a problem glad your up and running

As for HTC Audio, no problems here but Im using it directly through the 6.5 interface on the Home screen or opening it to the default Media Player itself, no issues with finger access on it at all which includes sliding left/right to change songs, volume up/down, repeat, shuffle, play/pause(stop)

all of which seems to work fine

(I did switch from the 6.5 to TF2D interface to double check everything in those as well and same deal, no issues within the default music player)

As for PHM Regedit, I have noticed several problems within 6.5 and it, nothing that cant be worked around but issues none the less. The problem Im running across is almost like the screen sensitivity is too high and false taps and opens occurring on keys/threads in the registry always thinking I want to rename a main naming of a key or within the settings of a key it will not properly display the information within showing info from a line above or below

In regards to PHM Regedit it basically may be time for a new version or perhaps time to look around at other versions of a registry editor until a newer version is available, there are several versions around and the properties/options of the PHM version are limited to say the least.

WTG ! seeing as your becoming the Master of the CPL file - any chance you can look into the lock CPL files and see if there is a way to switch the lock/slide to the bottom and the time/appointments to the top

I know personally I would rather be able to look at my screen as see the time and calendar listed from the top down and to unlock slide the lower portion of the screen - maybe its just me LOL (too used to S2U2 probably LOL)

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] htctoucher:
haha weird.. i was just thinking of doing this today

and guess what.. its completely possible

but it would def take some work

all the values are there for appoinments, the clock and the slider/arrows etc

just need to be moved around

if i get a LOT of time :D i will look into doing it

altho.. not sure what would happen when you "press" the slider when you have notifications, i think i saw you can move those but i dunno what will happen with the slide down animation

but it is possible :D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Hey, if you want to PM me we can work together on this and some ideas I had on the very thing regarding notifications

Basically the space for notifications just need to be the 4 down is area (text, phone, voicemail, email) and if those could either be directed up or the slider to the middle or 2/3's down the screen with the clock on top with appointments below..

Anyway, PM me if you want to work on this and the files needed to edit and the like

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] thetechguru:
I am having the same problem. Garmin won't run after running either PIE or Contacts. If I open Contacts while Garmin is running, phone locks up tight as soon as I go back to Garmin and needs a soft reboot to do anything.

Did not happen on Verizon 1.04, I skipped 1.05-1.08 so don't know if it started earlier then 1.09.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Have you tried updating Garmin to the latest version and build?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Yea that is completely normal... When using an intensive program there is more pressure on the battery. The battery % is calculated based on mAh consumption, so normally say the phone uses around 160 mAh, with Opera it would jump to say 400 mAh, and the voltage on the battery takes a slight toll. The battery % would then indicate lower... The battery % is calculated based on voltage; the lower the voltage the battery provides, the less % is being displayed. When the load on the battery suddenly increases, the voltage slightly decreases, and it could lead to the assumption that your battery is running out faster than expected. I hope that explains the issue well enough. :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
In the next build I will add the devicelock executable in. It is a separate exe, I guess somehow I removed it and didn't realize this.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
OK, thanks I'll look into this. Is this the OEM which you used to get the MMS running on your Vogue? Does it have all the wap profile configs and such. Also I assume alltel requires MDN number in the registry like Verizon? Thanks

NSFAN im new so please bear with me:

Is this stable?

does gps work on verizon?

do i have to use the stylus for input?

whats the battery life?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] harley!:
After a number of months using numerous NFSFAN ROMs, I can say they are extremely stable; I've never experienced so much as a freeze.

GPS will work with VZW if you have unlocked first (read first post in this thread; see also the excellent tutorials at ppchaven.com). Do not flash unless you've unlocked first; you might have an expensive paperweight as a result. Read, read, read.

Stylus is not necessary depending on the keyboard used for input.

I've heard some battery life issues, but generally nothing widespread.

Good luck!

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] amkorp:
On the internet widget how would you go about adding more bookmarks. It comes with the youtube application, but I don't want to run program. Rather, I would like to put an opera link under the youtube one that opens up to a specific page (like online banking). How would you do that? Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] harley!:
Yeah, there's a full qwerty soft keyboard. Not sure about htcunlock; haven't heard of that app . . .
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] harley!:
I think these are regedits. I suspect there's an easier way, but I think you can add these bookmarks by editing the registry to add them. I'm just not sure how. Perhaps search for YouTube in the registry and see where it shows up and then create new registry settings for your preferred bookmark in the same locations, or simply replace the youtube entries with your preferred entry. I don't think Advanced Config can solve ur issue.

Just some thoughts. . .

m2dc works on the 6.5 Rom?

thermus, I noticed you are installing an older version of the Manila 2D Customizer overtop of the one that comes in the 6.5 V6 Rom ... v29? Why are you doing that? I only ask because I'm having problems running m2dc on this ROM (and other 6.5 Roms). I assume its working for you? Whenever I make a change in m2dc and hit apply the app just hangs and the spinner icon just sits there until i soft reset and none of my changes are applied.

I don't think its that people don't want to help...I think its that no one really knows how. I tried all day yesterday on my sister's Verizon XV6900 to get GPS to work. It's completely futile. I ended up flashing back to stock. Verizon has totally crippled the GPS fuction of the phone in order for you to pay them $10/month to use it. What a crock!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
I tend to agree on this one - to be honest from everything I have read, a simple search for "verizon gps" leads to alot of not so simple results and in reality, Im a Sprint user on top of it so anything I attempt I cant verify directly

But in all honesty, everything Ive read as been a result of Verizon shutting out the GPS as a service for the users without the users paying for the service which to me is an absolutely crooked and horrible way to earn your keep and expect to keep customers when the phone has the ability at little to no overhead cost to the corporation itself

I have read of a "trick" in setting the port to 8888 and it works for a while but when it stops you then have to set it to 8889 and it then again works for a while then you set it back to 8888 and so on and so on and so on

Real PITA way to have GPS, but it seems to work regardless

Sorry I cant be more help, but at this point - try the trick, if it diesnt work for you or you cant be bothered with doing that (I know I wouldnt want to) Switch to another carrier or pay for the service
