battery life

Hi...

I only recently got my Fuze about a week ago and have been trying to see its performance. I spent a few days extensively testing the ATT stock rom, and actually found it rather good performance wise, except of course for the bloatware.

Several people I know suggested RRE rom as one of the best alternative rom out there for beginners. And so I took the plunge. And while I do really really like the rom and its customizations, there are a few issues with performance that I am facing which are critical:

1. low battery life, almost by 50% compared to stock ATT rom. Looking into the matter I found that after clicking on task manager (the icon on top right on home screen) there was an ActiveSync task *always running*. Even if I killed it, it would mysteriously come back again after a few minutes. I did not have any USB connection, and yet it always came back. Has anyone else noticed this. My battery goes down to 25% in 12 hours, with like 30 minutes of 3G use, and NO calls, and NO GPS use, and NO bluetooth use.

2. I have also noticed that launching programs is slightly slower than on ATT stock rom. I know one other person has reported on this slowness in this forum, but anyone else?

3. Furthermore, in comparison to ATT stock rom, my internet speed seems to have also suffered by at least 25%. Its slower, both on 3G as well as via Wi-Fi. I don't understand this problem at all because I haven't changed the radio and the speed of internet should mostly be dependent on radio, right?

I have hard reset twice since flashing the rom.

And there are several other tweaking issue, but none so critical.

I would love to hear some feedback/discussion on these.

Thanks in advance.

i have a question about the disable and restore proxy thing. i am on att with the fuze, i downloaded phone fusion voicemail software and signed up for their service, however when i go to settings-phone-services to change the call forward number it will retrieve the settings just fine but will not let me change them, i ran the restore proxy cab then soft reset. is the proxy needed to change these settings? also how do i get to my devices old medianet homepage? im pretty sure im doing something wrong restoring the proxy or missing something, thanks for any help. by the way awesome work on this rom

sms count fix

First of all thanks for the 4.4 version, one thing that I did notice different from the 4.3 version is the sms count fix. It seems like if the sms count fix was not applied to your 4.4 version, could someone elaborate on that?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] climber1872000:
So I went ahead this morning and performed a hard reset and sent a text to my phone from my wife’s phone and my new text notification light is still not working. Even with a hard reset and no installed apps or modifications to the ROM I still have the issue with my text notification light. It will flash if I have a missed call but not if I receive a new text. :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hvbelton:
Would it be feasible to provide a cab that includes the changes so we would not HAVE to flash to get the fixes?

Anything on the battery drain?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ktwildchild:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=423540

And maybe a little more searching because this is covered all through out the forum. Also, the drain maybe that you might be "Always-On" for your data connection. 25% in 12 hours is actually good considering how tiny the battery is. I lose 20% in about 2 hours of moderate use.

More Detail on what specifically is slow

Might have a cache problem. Need more specific benchmarks for comparisons.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Unfortunately no. I prefer to do fixes with cabs. However alot of dll changes have to be made with cooking. I attempted to make a cab with the changes this morning. Didnt work so well and had to hard reset.

One of the dll changes is the battery driver
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Yup thats one of the fixes. I must have used the wrong dll. They all look alike after days on end lol

You must have the proxy enabled for media net homepage. Im not familiar with phone fusion so i cant comment.

1, I have no issues. Post what current reads in tbattery. Activesync is supposed to be running. I just choose not to hide the application. BTW the radio has ALOT more effect on battery than the rom does.

2. I dont know what stock rom you used but this is MUCH faster.

3. I get 10 times (literally) more speed than on the stock rom. Sounds like you need to recheck your settings. The stock rom does not have the ability to even fully use the network. HSDPA and HSUPA are diabled on the stock rom. It may also be your local network.

Im going to see what i can do. I need to find out from Da_G if he knows which driver controls the light. BTW I assume you do have the option in notifications turned on to make the light flash?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] whompa:
For every user on here that replies one way or another, there are probably at least 20-100 more out there lurking that never comment on anything and are very very satisfied users. That is the case with me normally. I have been flashing the different versions of this ROM and Elite for a while now and haven't said a peep but I have been totally satisfied and appreciative of the product.

With that said...Thanks Arrup!! 4.4 has been the fastest and most usable for me so far. It really rocks and I love it! ---addicted to XDA

PS: have you considered incorporating the recently uncovered call recording functions on the HD and Diamond for the future?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] meth0dGSX:
I gotta agree, ive been watching the development of this one and itching to switch while still stickin with Elite, im no flash junkie i just like a stable usable phone, and ill be trying this soon i was about to go 4.4 but ill hold off a bit longer for these current .dll fixs and go with 4.4.5 when arrup is kind enough to rls
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] climber1872000:
Yeah I have it enabled in settings but it fails to work properly.

BTW

Thanks for all the hard work and time you put into your ROMs! I have tested many different ROMs from various cooks and yours seem to fit my needs and wants like a glove! I really do appreciate all of your hard work. :D

with 4.4, i have problem with video call, when somebody video call me, after answering, my raphael is blocking...have any ideea about this problem? thx
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] websquirrel:
I must say: This is a wicked ROM!! This is really amazing. Keep up the good work. I'm really looking forward to 4.4.5!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] misfitwrx:
i ran the restore proxy cab but nothing changes, when i go to connections in settings it shows no proxy is setup . device.home is the medianet homepage right? the call forarding is not a part of phone fusion just a wm6 setting if you go to settings-personal-phone-services-callforward it will let you change those options there like how long to ring till it sends the call to voicemail it wont save those changes for me
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ktwildchild:
You might want to check the "Advanced Config" settings for the phone specific items and see if you have anything that might stop the phone from accepting the Video call.... I am still looking for a setting.

Maybe in "Advanced Config", the Camera option under video share? Enable,Disable,... not sure if that is the setting or if it's the Phone option Video Call. Let us know if you fix and/or find it to help.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Im looking at the call recorder. I prolly wont get it in until v 4.5 though.

I can confirm its not working. Ill see how it goes.

Hmm ill see if i can find the problem.

Have you disabled the proxy in the toold folder. That would probably block it. Also check the video call function in advanced config and be sure it is on.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] vlad_frunzareanu:
i disable proxy from programs/tools/proxy manager

and video call doesn't work...

Weird issue with Flash and Opera

If I go to a site using 3G flash works properly...If I go using wifi I get a notice you need to install flash.

Try for yourself, any idea why this happens or why connection type would cause it to work with one data connection and not another?

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] misfitwrx:
ok i got medianet working, and i noticed some of the options in settings-phone- services will change perfectly with or without any proxy settings like call waiting and others but none of the call forwarding options are able to be changed? can anyone with a fuze on att try it to make sure its not just me? go to settings-personal-phone-services-call forward and see if it will accept any changes

File explorer graphics fix?

Hey Arup great ROM...my favorite so far. Just one question though, is there a way to fix the file graphics from a black box to a normal file folder in file explorer and resco file explorer or is that the way it should be? Keep up the great work...can't wait for newest ROM!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Ill see what I can do but it will be difficult since the US dosent support video call.

Not without removing all off the graphics. If you really want the black to go away uninstall the graphics from remove programs.

Ill check it out when I get home.

Ive seen alot of issues with things over wifi on the fuze. Youtube has issues over wifi sometimes as well.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] climber1872000:
Just checked it and it works fine for me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aadadams:
These options are sometimes overridden by the sim. You may want to check into that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] MasterN02:
Arup,

What are your thoughts on LUMOS v09b? Would you say this is a worthwhile app or does the HTC auto backlight do a sufficient job?

Looking forward to 4.4.5...it's GREAT that you've done such a good job that you are now only fixing tiny issues to perfect your ROM!

Thanks,

NR

odd email count

So, I disabled the always on activesync using the Microsoft Exchange method (make up a fake server and then delete it). Worked great. I actually ended up doing it twice (to be safe).

Each time I did it, i would get an "email." I was notified I had email on the home screen (it shows 2 on the email icon). However, when I click on the icon, it says I don't have any email accounts (which is correct b/c I dont). And the email count doesn't go away.

I don't think this has anything to do with the ROM; its me being stupid. Anybody know how I clear the email count of the nonexisting email?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] PRTEQ:
Text Message

Is any one having problem with text message? I can send them but no receive.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Personally I use lumos. I considered cooking it in but popular opinion was to leave it up to the user.

Using mark all as read should clear it. If not I know there is another way but i cant remember off the top of my head.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] legend12:
arup,

thanks for the fast response! since I don't have any accounts in email, i can't select mark all as read. The phone thinks that I have 2 messages (even though I dont have any accts), but won't show them or clear them. If there's no solution, it'll just stay until i flash the next version of your ROM.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] MasterN02:
Thanks for the info Arup!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
It thinks you have two because of the stupid welcome emails that are put in a new account.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ktwildchild:
aruppenthal,

If you are considering a new rev, there is a version of MS Live Search

Version 4.0.12158.1

I don't know if this is the latest one that you have incorporated. Has some neat features like "Locate Me"

Just an FYI.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] shep211:
What program or codec does video call use? If its htc streaming media then you need to replace htc streaming media files.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] fuzedbyhtc:
i had the same issues as well, however sometimes i wouldn't be able to send them either. Also my phone would constantly jump in and out of 3g for whatever reason the last day or two, i call att and talked with the tech support they changed some stuff in the account and sent a sim update to my phone, now i've had a solid full bar 3g connection for about 20 hours now, can send recieve text instantly. At first the customer support rep said that they cannot send a update to the fuze because its not a phone you can do that to, and the issues i was having are stricktly handset issues and that i may need to do a warranty but asked if i wanted to be connected with tech support to seee if they can do anything for me, and the lady said that their computers are diff than the reg. cust. service reps and the the phone CAN get a sim update and she did so it worked magic tricks for me... lol

give that a shot see if it helps....good luck.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jgaviota:
I do have a problem with the battery life...

I've been on RRE 4.2, 4.3 and now 4.4

I have the radio 1.02.25.28, and tried also de BS 1.10.25.18 and 1.10.25.25

In 4.2 and 4.3 I had excellent battery life, now I can see the % going down.

In battery I used to have -77 current normally, now I have -130 up to -300

For example coming out from sleep I see -220

Also 4.4 is the first rom where MSVC didn't work for me out of the box with a Motorola H500, with all previous roms it worked fine. I tried to make it work, but will wait for 4.4.5

When I turn off the Data Connection from Comm Manager it tells me it will also shut down MS Exchange Push mail, which I don't use, and takes a very long time. I have tried re-flashing, and also hard resetting several times.

Anyway I do think that these are the best roms for the Fuze!!! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Good info

I changed battery drivers in the revision

If you turn of data you will lose exchange. Its the way the comm is built in the newer versions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] misfitwrx:
how would i check the sim to see if its not allowing me to make changes to the call forwarding options?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jgaviota:
The thing is I don't use Exchange, don't need exchange and don't want Exchange. I disable it using the fake server on manual method, is that enough? Or does anyone know of another method?

And any thoughts on MSVC?

thanks! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] MasterN02:
Arup,

Just took a look at you final Tilt ROM...AMAZING!!! I'll be helping my buddy put it on his phone tonight! Will probably go with the V6 Manila. Any chance you will have that awesome color scheme on the Fuze before too long?

Thanks,

NR
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Its a standard message warning you if you use exchange. Motorolla headsets are having issues with this version. Try the two fixes posted in the previous thread for v 3

I wish. I loved that color scheme. I havent dug into editing tf3d yet. I might soon though. If he has any issues tell him to PM me I watch that thread but im not as quick on it as I am this one.

STOP THE PRESSES! Found TWO icons in need of prettification!

Hi Arup,

FYI, I just found a couple of task bar icons in dire need of your artistic talent! They are:

1- The icon you get when a previously paired device (which is paired no more, say, after a flash) tries to connect to the phone. It is the ugly white bluetooth icon. Yuck.

2- The speakerphone icon. White. Plain. Ugly. Offensive :-P

Great work! Breathlessly waiting for the next version!

THANK YOU!!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Can you post a screenshot of the icons in question. Ill work em over for the next release
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tassadar898:
Is there anyway to remove MSVC from the rom. It bothers me so much and it takes alot of RAM.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Yom:
Here they be. Also, I was wondering...

I use both Stereo A2DP and hands free Bluetooth headsets... a lot. So would it be possible to merge their status in a single icon? For example, when a mono hands free headset is connected, show the blue BT icon with the headset only on one side, and when you have a Stereo headset conencted make it the full headphones (instead of having two different icons), and when you have them both change the color of the headphones...

Is something crazy like that even possible? :-)

Thank you!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Yom:
I'll kick MSVC's ass!

If something bothers me sooooo much as to write a post about it, I wouldn't get mad... I'd get EVEN! Just take the miscreant out back and really kick the crap outta him :-)

Actually, there is a simpler, more elegant solution. How about just disabling it in Settings and disassociating the button from it?

Hope this helps!

Peace!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Idk if thats possible but ill look into it. Thanks for the screenshot

lol
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tassadar898:
I tried that but when i remapped the PTT to total commander it did not work. Also it seems that MSVC will restart itself upon soft reset even tho i turned it off.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
There's a number of registry keys you need to zap to stop MSVC from loading, if you'd like the list pm me :)

How/What to backup for Manila?

Hi all,

Before I re-flash, I would like to save my Manila config, includign weather DB, custom cities, programs list, and so on...

What exactly do I have to copy so i can restore once the new ROM is flashed to get my familiar Manila back?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bjevers:
Export the following registry keys:

Weather: HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila

This has some other values besides the weather, but shouldn't be a problem importing those too.

Program launcher: HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher

If you use Sashimi, it makes restoring this stuff real easy after a flash.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
My data is working fine. Are you sure its not your local network?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bjevers:
Working here too.

im a little late to the party i just flashed 4.4 and now i noticed you posted 4.4.5 lol, im having the opposite happen to me as other people, i have never had 3g with your last rom or the stock rom now im getting almost full "H" for some reason i love it. i do have a question though when it first starts after a hard reset it says it detects two configurations in connection setup it says att and tracphone?? i still say no and then disable it on the next screen like the instructions say but is that normal? or do i have a bad flash

edit; crap it still wont let me mess with the call forwarding settings, im gonna call att and see if its a sim problem they can still send an update to the phone even if its a custom rom right?

Great ROM - only 1 issue

Just flashed the ROM last night and I love it. It's the 4th ROM that I've flashed and so far my favorite. I have only one issue though:

Active Sync just quits working against my Exchange Server and all my contacts and calendar appointments disappear. This has happened to me 2 times today. Anyone else experience this issue.

Thanks in advance,

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
yup they wont know what rom you have. Theyll just send it to your sim number

I havent had any issue with either exchange that I use. I would recommend 4.4.5 though. It seems a bit more stable than 4.4.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Yom:
Thank you, sir.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] debonairone:
I also had a problem with MSVC out of the box... It didn't properly activate from the headset... I could answer a call just fine, but not initiate one... It seems as though the audio channel did not open when the headset button was pushed... It would activate properly when using button 1, but would not actually dial... will try 4.4.5 and hope it works properly...

Great rom otherwise... looking forward to downloading and running the new version...
