Hi all:

i've been testing almost all day to get an answer about the battery drainage on hard SPLs.

Ok here is what i found.

Ofcourse like said before the radio roms do have an effect on battery life according to the location you are in depending on countries.

anyhow, i was very curious on why when i had olipof's first SPL and using Dutty's ROM i had 48 hours of non stop usage of my phone without charging and yet when i upgraded my SPL the batterylife went horrible.

i used several ROMS and almost all Radios to see the effect.

now here is what i found, am not an expert but i know there is something wrong here.

my last status before test was SPL 3.29 jockey and Rom Hyperdragon 6/1/2009

using battery test tool:

SPL 3.56

on 1st call exactly 1 minute ,battery level decreased from 100% to 95%

Charged phone

SPL 3.29

on 1st call exactly 1:34 minute ,battery level decreased from 100% to 96%

Charged phone

SPL 3.28

on 1st call exactly 1:40 minute ,battery level decreased from 100% to 97%

Charged phone

SPL 3.07

on 1st call exactly 5:23 minutes , battery level decreased from 100% to only 98%

i didn't try olipof's first spl though, but i think something is wrong the older the SPL the longer the battery life.

need someone who is an expert to test this as i know my battery is functioning well, i had it since 15/5/2008 and also bought a new one yesterday and had same battery drainage while using SPL 3.29

guys i think this needs to be looked into, as i used the same Radio and same ROM in each test here, and i know at some point Radio 1.65.24.36 did give me wonderfull results back when i first unlocked my phone last may, and used same radio today aswell.

Regards,

ahassouna, hope this is benefitial to someone

Im no expert either but I have been going through the same thing and trying to figure it out, I had TIR V8.1k rom using hard spl 3.28 and the battery was just fantastic, I could go 2 days (normal use) with out charging my phone, now im using ultimate v15 rom and by the time i get to work my battery is at 75% with minimal calling. I just dont get it, if anyone can help it will be appreciated
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] corepda:
even i would like to see if there is any difference.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bhyde:
I'm hardly the expert on this, but I tend to get better results when I mate ATT radio's with spl 3.56 or HTC radio's with spl 3.29. And I usually switch out radio/spl depending on the OS + Build the chef is using. There are some exceptions to this I'm sure but I generally always find a combination where I can get an cool days use out of my phone (7AM-~Midnight).

For example when I was running NATF's ATT ROM, I was using 3.56 w/ 1.65.20.29 radio and I could easily go 2 days, switch radio and that usage drops to what I mentioned earlier at best. And the same results if I changed spl, so I was left to conclude this has some bearing on the drain, OS Build + SPL + Radio. Currently I am running ultimate v15 ROM w/ spl 3.29 but with my caveat radio 1.59.44.02 Polaris radio :rolleyes: and I get my normal (7AM-midnight) usage which is best for me in Atlanta.

Hi all

Is there a way of backing up contacts with dedicated ringtones I have re-setup my different ringtones for various contacts (eg. Jazzy->childcrying.mp3) so i can tell who is calling without having to look at my hermes. It is a slight bother having to set this up after every new ROM installtion. And I do install ROMs on an average of five times a week.

Hi,

Yesterday I unlocked my phone and I thought everything went fine until this morning when I realised that the GPS does not work and the radio version has been modified.

Now I tried to install radio 1.56 but I get a connection error... I am running Windows Vista Ultimate, could anyone help? The phone seems to sync fine with Outlook and I can browse the files in the phone, etc.

Thanks,

I think you need to go through a special prcedure to update the USB drivers on your vista pc.

Trinity Guides has a great step-by-step guide on how to do this.

Good luck!

[General Questions and Answers] moesfeld:
Hi there,

first of all thanks to this great Forum i´ve spend some time reading guides and howtos and I´m shure i need an WM device.

It looks like i have to decide between two devices (maybe more if you come up with some alternatives)

As said in the Title my favs are the HTC Elfin (MDA Touch XL) or the Trinity (Vpa compact GPS)

I´m not shure which one is faster/more stable

Elfin "only" 201 MHz but 128/256 Ram/Rom

Trinity 400 Mhz but "only" 64/128 Ram/Rom

I got offers for both around 160€ (used but good condition)

The GPS on the trinity isn´t that much of an advantage for me.

I would like to be able to run s2v, s2u2, s2p. smoothly, play Videos from SDHC, Play a 3d game from time to time, maybe later Youtube etc..

Allso I would like to run manila 2d on it.

So whats more important CPU or Ram/Rom.

Thx in advance.

P.s.:

I had an offer for the Kaiser for 180€ but i missed that chance and I think it won´t come back.

The Kaiser would be best choice for me but it looks butt ugly (Touch is the nicest of my lineup i think)
[General Questions and Answers] Obsidiandesire:
I had a HTC Elfin, which worked brilliently (had it unlocked and on custom FW in an hour after arriving home with it)

It's rather a small device, quite fashionable if you're into that thing, everything works brilliently and it rarely locks up. The processor is an issue, and it doesn't have any sort of accelleration chip though i'm not sure the trinity does. This is key for playing games, as is the processor speed.

It has a very minimlistic style, with just the right amount of buttons for me.

I've downgraded to a HTC Wizard, which seems very similar (With less ROM/RAM), and a physical keyboard. That's what sold it for me.

If you're a first time WM user, i highly recommend the Elfin, my girlfriend has it, and it took her less than a day to be surfing via our wifi, sending/recieving bluetooth, texting + Making phonecalls, whilst that's mainly the windows settings (also depends on the ROM), it doesn't have too many buttons to confuse her.

On the front it has a (barely used) 4 directional D-Pad with center button, a "Call" green button, and "Hang up" Red button. a camera button on the right side (which is kinda hard to press), a volume slider on the left side, and a power button on the top.

So the only real downside is it won't handle 3D games very well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kerko:
Hello everyone,

I have been reading a lot these days in the forum about how to unlock, or make it able to install cooked roms in my diamond.

I do not consider myself expert on this ( how could i?) SO i have done some steps adn seem to have stuck. So i could use some help PLEASE

by pressing the right buttons i read that i have

DIAM100 MFG 64M

SPL - 1.30 Olinex

MicroP-Diam (LED) v11

along with something else on the green bar.

Now, what i would like to do is to be able to switch between roms to get the one that i like most. BUT I do not seem to manage. I try and try but one out of ten iw working. Meaning that the bar is loading and the rom is flashed. All the other times i keep on waiting and waiting but nothing happens. And the repairing steps and all these.

PLEASE can you help me and tell me, is my diamond ready to accept any rom? Is there anything i can do to make it possible os should i stay with this one?

Oh, by the way i tried to flash the officila back but as i was suspecting nothing happened again. Great prothet I am!!

I appreciate your help.

[G1 Android Development] jcostantino:
What does everyone think will happen with future revisions of Android in regards to the fork between the stock G1s with OTA updates and the hacked G1s with manual updates with the test keys?

Hopefully this doesn't turn into Sony's militant locking down of the PSP via every firmware upgrade. Even though I never owned a PSP, I thought it was absolutely insane that Sony would try so hard to keep people from using their purchased equipment in any way they wanted to.

I totally understand that Google had to release RC30 to shut down a GIGANTIC security exploit that could have (but not likely) been used compromise phones. I'm sure it's in their interest to keep a homogeneous G1 userbase but would they actively try to relock rooted phones?

I'm hoping they just leave the rooted G1s alone. Mostly because we bought the phones and they are OURS. We are obligated to stay with Tmobile until the contract is up because the price is subsidized but we are not obligated (in my opinion) to retain the software they were shipped with. Obviously if my phone has a software problem I won't be calling Tmobile. On the other hand, if there is a hardware defect I'm certainly reflashing RC30 and sending it back under warranty.

I would like to hear everyone's opinion. I think it was great that Tmobile UK was good enough to open a dialog about possibly allowing root access but I don't think they really understand what "root access" is or care as long as they sell phones under contract. I don't think Google really cares either since they have open sourced all of the OS that we are modifying which is in the spirit of Open Source Software anyway. I think as long as they get their marketshare, they will be happy.
[G1 Android Development] HOGWILD:
I dont think so first off the psp hackers down load games so the dont have to pay for them they lose millions each year on the hackers...next i dont thnk that google would do this but t-moble might.But in my opinion i think they will as soon as they start hacking the pay apps. that will start later this year.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Hogwild hit the nail right on the head. I don't think T-Mo/HTC will engage in a drawn out battle to "steal" back root simply because there is no real financial motivation to do so. I'm of the mind that it's best not to begin speculating unless one of the aforementioned company takes a step in that direction. There's no point whipping up another possible flame-war over something that might never happen.
[G1 Android Development] diabolical28:
Ya I agree they are our phones 1 thing you left out not everybody is under contract some ppl paid full price on a prepaid 90 service plan then they get their unlock code. Some people didn't qualify for the upgrade price of 179$ and some people are under contract eiither of all three it is owned by the user the day they signed or paid. Tmobile won't take back a used g1 for failure to honor the 2 year agreement they will bill the customer.

So the whole open source push... and market. There and hundreds of. Thousands of programmers who make programs for the love of advancing "things" look how popular sourceforge is. So you get people who will create a program and demand a nominal fee say 14.95 the dev only gets 70% of the price and the wireless carrier get 30% for nothing. I . Defently there being an underground "market place" that bypasses that standard one to allow people to download free apps. The most exciting thing that everyone is about the market being a paid app is stopping all the comments of the retarded people in the market place

My 2 cents
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
There are a lot of idiots in the world with money to waste. Rest assured, the paid apps will have retarded comments as well.

[G1 Android Development] aron4588:
Wow I hate people that don't know what they talking bout. I wanna clear up a few thing. Being a psp dev I can tell you it wasn't bout the hacking and homebrew. the psp updates were to stop piracy. Btw most exploit on psp were by sony. If you own a psp atlease you would know a little about the scene. Secondly, the root bug is dangerous to us. Google own dev are helping us htc people are leaking tools and t-mobile always let us screw them over. So no it not gonna be no war going on it all for our safety untill the software is right. As you can see we're like test bunnys and when a bug you should be greatful that they release update. So while I love having root access it not that serious right now it just would be right to compare this to the iphone jailbreak scene. Once paid app are here I wouldn't be shock if update start coming to block test key and resigning to respect developer work. Read before posting and short answer no unless as needed
[G1 Android Development] danguyf:
There's not going to be a homogenous Android ecosystem to begin with because each carrier will tailor it to their own needs, and possibly to each handset.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Correct. And you can bet that there will be handsets running builds of Android not maintained by Google which will not run Android Market. Whatever carrier releases it will want to funnel that 30% revenue to themselves. I'm concerned that that fracturing of the ecosystem will impede overall market acceptance. And i'm not even talking about the inevitable outcome of Android "strains" that slowly become sdk incompatible with each other.

Here's a posting I made on android-platform and Dianne Hackborn's response:

Of course with an open source project "actively discouraging" can only go so far...
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
The carriers already get that 30%.

From the android dev blog

"Starting in early Q1, developers will also be able to distribute paid apps in addition to free apps. Developers will get 70% of the revenue from each purchase; the remaining amount goes to carriers and billing settlement fees—Google does not take a percentage. We believe this revenue model creates a fair and positive experience for users, developers, and carriers."
[G1 Android Development] Chainfire:
From what I've heard from Google folks, they aren't that interested in the root thing, that is more a carrier issue. However, the way people originally got root was a serious issue. Not directly because you could get root, but because it was an outright silly bug than could potentially raise havoc on your device if you happened to type the wrong thing on your keyboard.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
I imagine the billing settlement fees could be rather sizeable. I don't run a credit card processing company, but i've seen $.20 - $.30 per transaction thrown around. That's in line with Paypal's fees.

We'll see if other manufacturer/carrier matchups continue to use Android Market. I wouldn't be surprised to see them create their own markets though, simply because if it's possible and there's the slightest financial incentive to do so, eventually someone will do it.
[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
I was in the PSP scene for a long time, admin at one of the largest PSP sites, net admin on the largest PSP IRC server, and had several contacts within Sony's Playstation department. So I know how the scene went pretty well.

Sony did not want homebrew for multiple reasons. The obvious one is ISO playback. No matter what they did, warez was possible. Even back before we had perfected the actual emulation, we could simply patch calls to disc0:/ to ms0:/ and load the EBOOT. If we hadn't figured out how (the first one to truly do it was UMD Emulator, which would patch many of the PSP calls to make it MUCH smoother/more compatible), we could simply expand on this.

The second reason is that we were stepping on their toes, so to speak. They wanted to have many more downloadable minigames that could be booted off of the memstick, something we did years before them. I doubt they liked that we were doing what they planned, and doing it much better/faster.

Thirdly, they were responsible for all bricked devices. Although their unbricking process has always been easy, it costs them time/shipping. It's still a pain and costly for them to do it massively.

This is why they combated it on the PSP so much. On the standard Playstations, they've never had to worry about it this much. They didn't have memory cards that you could easily throw ISOs on, they didn't have any easily loaded software that would allow you to boot them, etc. You had to buy hardware devices (hdloader, the swap program (ffs can't remember the name), or modchips). Pirating the PSP was SO much easier.

Now, onto the G1... a Google employee has already (off the record, speaking for himself, not Google) that they should have just given us root access, especially if HTC was going to be so careless with their NBH images.

If every one was given root access, cracking paid applications would be much easier. Well, that is the belief. In reality, cracking them will be a sinch. With easily done byte code modification, and resigning the APK, I doubt there's an application that CAN'T be cracked. As long as you could install apps from browser/SD card, you can crack them. Even if they locked it down to market only, we could spoof DNS servers and run "unofficial" markets with cracked applications. This wouldn't require root access at all.

(excuse any typos, it's 10F outside atm and I'm trying to smoke.)

[G1 Android Development] diabolical28:
Yes please a "full irc client would be nice." there is a "irc client" if you can call it that in the market called Firc it is a neat program then you come to figure out the dev is running the only channel it can join as ops and Perm bans any user not on a G1.

Take this app for example

http://www.mobiletechaddicts.com/2008/11/16/tv-plus-sky-remote-for-iphone-updated/

This app would be SO useful to UK WM users. The ability to remote record programs on your Sky+ or Sky+HD box would be extremely useful, yet we are being left out in the cold yet again.

This is seriously the last straw, im almost ready to jump ship next gen of phones.

you guys dont get it, this isnt a remote control app nor should I be required to buy a slingbox (expensive). The iphone app is simple, you sign in with your sky account username and password, you pull up a complete TV guide and you set recordings from the app. The app communicates with skys servers which then in turn send a signal to your sky box from wherever you are in the world and your box will record that programme.

Now, granted you can do this from the sky.com website, but typically its one of those sites that just doesnt work in Opera or pocket IE.

Well, I got you already in first place! Even the iPhone Application is nothing but a modified webbrowser control, so, basically, you're loading the Sky+ website into your iPhone - and this is why I always wonder then people talk about 'aplication on the iPhone', mostly these are nothing but web services!

Sky+ is promissing and promoting the MOBILE REMOTE RECORDING on their website and I can't believe that OPERA can't view the site properly! You might wanna contact their technical support in order to get it solved!
