I'm also using it on HD2 and H3G (3G only provider). My main problem is that actually even if I selected WMLongLife to "3G Auto" it switches to 2G but then it doesen't recover 3G anymore. Matter is that H3G in italy is a 3G only provider for data but both 2G and 3G for GSM calls in roaming to another provider (TIM), so I can't use anymore datas thereafter. Is there any solution for it? I already disabled all 2G options in the preferences.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dudikbs:
help..

ever since i installed this application i have problems with receiving calls.. whenever i'm in a 2G only reception area the phone stills tries to reconnect to 3G on apps that require it, when it cannot do that in some of the times it just stuck with no reception at all (phone as well) and it can be like that for hours without me noticing.. so i get disconnected from the world for hours.

I switched all the apps to "not require 3G" and now i'm stuck with lower speeds..

the problem seem to arise from the signal being reacquired all the time..

These problems persist even when i uninstalled the application.. (following the uninstall instructions)

i now installed it just so i could somehow change the band manually and it sucks..

i have too many stuff on my phone (HTC HD) so i don't want to HR.. I just wish there could be a way to totally uninstall this with all the services and modification it made to my system..

please mr. developer if you could just tell me which files are affected by this.. :(

Hi Chainfire,

on my HD2 I have Version 0.62.0219 installed.

Since I upgraded my HD2 from the german ROM 1.48 to the WWE 1.61 (Englisch - Turky) via goldcard and than to Touch-IT 1.1 via SSPL.

Data Disconnect idle connection is not working any longer.

Best regards,

dingolino

Hi, is there a link to donate? I'd also like to encourage you to treat this as a more important project for your time. Its currently working well on my HD2 1.48 WWE. The battery life is massively increased when I just enable 3G to work for the white listed apps (everything is 2G)

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dingolino:
Hi

I am now on Miri´s rom 1.1 since yesterday - same radio, just reflashed the rom via sspl.

And now WMLonglife is working fine as previously on stock 1.48 rom. So Data connections are interrupted as specified.

I switched to Miri´s rom mainly because of the 20 shortcuts for Manila which are not yet possible for Touch-IT

Best regards,

dingolino

HTC HD2 - configuration screen does have strange signs instead of normal fonts

I like the application concept.

It even started working after installation.

But I had no chance to configure it properply - configuration screen does have strange signs instead of normal fonts.

Is there any way to have it running correctly ?:confused:

WMLongLife with HD2

Hi

I have install it and setup it to switch to 2G but it stay on 3G

Even if I use the switch to switch it manually to 2G it stay on 3G

Any idea why?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stealth21:
The phone changes to 2G but the icon does not change that quickly.

Its no big deal anyway...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bence:
Which file do i need to install for hd2?

From the first post in thread or from page 45?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LordAegir:
hi, could one use this app to disconnect a data-connection while your phone is in standby (screen is off)?

Because I would like to configure my phone to check my e-mail every hour. If i set it up like that, it will keep the data connection.

I did change some registry values so it disconnects after an idle minute. However that only works when the screen is on and that thing doesnt go on if it checks my e-mail automaticly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bence:
How did you get updates to work while in standby?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LordAegir:
Didn't know that was something special.

I just use the standard wm6 mailclient on my Sony Ericsson Xperia.

I can just configure it auto-updates from every 5minutes to a bunch of hours.

It then opens a data connection and goes to 3G directly.

This whole time the screen stays off.

Thats why that standard trick to shutdown a data-connection after 1 minute doesn't work, since that does need the screen to be on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bence:
My mistake, I thought I am in HD2 thread...on hd2 it works only when you turn screen on...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] erdoke:
Of course it does work when screen is off. You can even set device wake-up (i.e. screen turns on for ~15 seconds) when you get a new email.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the_duce:
Same here. My HTC HD2 phone stays in 2G (3G is available). A speedtest tells me that the speed is 5 kb/s (=2G) so it is no the icon-issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bence:
And which version do you use?

From the first post or from page 45?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fad3d_uk:
Hi,

I Have a HTC HD 2 & have installed the relevant version for this phone.

From what I can tell, WMLonglife doesn't seem to be doing much at all in terms of controlling the 2g/3g connections. If I set to 3g only, I'm sill on 2g (3g signal is good round where I live) & does not auto disconnect the data connections.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Phone info (if needed):

OS V. 5.2.21864 (21865.5.0.81)

Manilla V. 2.5.1902525.0

ROM V. 1.43.405.1(70124) WWE

Rom Date. 10/26/09

Radio V, 2.04.50.22_2

Protocol V. 15.28.50.07U

Edit:

Appears to be working now - after a a few re-installs. I now get the notifications of when it's switching etc & Auto Disconnect also appears to be working =)

thanks for this amazing app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the_duce:
From page 45. I re-installed the applications three times but I'm still facing the 2G-problem. Although, the auto-disconnect works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Genix9:
Yep, running with 6.5.3 build and Page 45 update. Great, thanks, looking forward to the next release.

Running on Tilt 2

I have been using the Page 1 version for several days on my HTC Tilt 2 (AT&T) running WM 6.5 Pro and have seen a tremendous change for the better. Previously, I could go about 2 days between charges with mild web browsing, no e-mail and some SMS. Now I can go 3-4 days. I found that messaging (e-mail and SMS) was initially set to use 3G but I decided for the little e-mail I do it would be fine to stick with 2G (Edge) for that app and that has helped as well.

I just installed the Page 45 version today and am looking forward to how long this charge will last. I had it fully charged 24 hours ago and left it on overnight and when I got up this morning it was at 90%.

Thanks so much, Chainfire! How do I donate?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChasDun:
From the comments and screen shots this looks like an incredible application. But it's more complicated than I can understand or need. Before I try to install it, can someone tell me if it will simply allow me to manually start and stop 3G on my Tilt 2 without implementing any auto features or changing any other settings? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onureski:
i have the same problem on samsung omnia 2 last couple of days. i tried lots of reinstalls but it didnot change. it is a very good app that saves twice as much battery life and full control on programs which connect to internet. Thank you very much.

Edit : I found the problem. It is Microsoft Reader last update. When it is uninstalled he fonts become normal again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NeoXTC:
can anyone confirm is this will work with "Push Mail" on the touch HD? I used to have a tweak where it disconnects data after like 10mins or so but it totally kills my push mail service :(

Would be good if I can swap it to 2g and then everytime have push mail it swaps to 3g automatically (or any apps requiring data)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scubatom:
Thanks - it works - You are great !!!!

By the way can You reccomend another .lit reader instead ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KB24@CL:
when is the new build going public? :D

For my HD2 this app has not worked properly, but I expect it to get better and better and eventually it will probably be a great tool to save battery.

thanks for the hard work chainfire.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LordAegir:
Same here, since it would be a shame if it stops working the first of februari. Have been testing the application for a week now. Works really well for my phone. :)

I tried the "experimental HD2 version" v0.62.0211. It won't install on my HD2. It says installation was unsuccessful. Can the generic v0.61 work on HD2?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ThatMan:
I installed WMLonglife v0.62.0211 on my HD2. It seemed to work OK as had vibrations when it was switching and when I started Messenger, it dutifully asked to set it up. However, when I started Shazam, everything froze. Uninstalling this app and Shazam works again, so know there is no problem with Shazam.

I'm assumimg it is because Shazam is an "always on top" app, and WMLonglife is waiting for input. Anyone else find the same?

[Edit]

Can't post links because of my post count, but info about Shazam can be found at the Microsoft MarketPlace or in thread number 583177
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] UncleBeer:
Installed OK on my HD2, but rebooted my phone every time WMLongLife was doing anything. Removed, but willing to try again in the future after improvements.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hawke84:
not quite working

I cant quite seem to get this working fully. I live in a good reception area so im not bothered about switching bands, but i do really want the data auto-disconnect to work.

So far it only disconnects data when the screen is on :confused:

But with the screen off it just keeps the connection active. Any suggestions?

Ive tried almost every combination of settings..

I do have weather, email and facebook auto-update but i didnt think they affected this any more.

Im using the O2 stock ROM 143.

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vikingq25:
After a WMLongLife switch, only Opera will connect to internet. Nothing else will.

After WMLongLife makes a switch from 2G (1X) to 3G, whether it's automatic or if I change to 3G manually through Band Switcher, only Opera Mobile will connect to the internet. Nothing else will, including Internet Explorer, GoogleMaps, Skyfire, QuickGPS, etc.

I've played with this for over a week to try and figure a way or sequence to get things to work, and this is the only process that I've found to work.

Here are the steps to recover 3G functionality:

1. Get stuck in 1X.

2. Use Band Switcher to force into 3G (only) mode.

3. Start Opera and get a connection. This will take over a minute.

4. Go to Comm Manager and now should see Phone and Data Connection enabled.

5. Click Airplane Mode to stop all communications.

6. Click Phone (NOT Airplane Mode) to enable communications. Phone and Data Connection should both enable automatically. If not, and only Phone communication is established, click Data Connection manually to reconnect.

Sometimes have to try this process more than once to get it to work.

If phone gets stuck to where it won't connect at all, then force the phone into 1X (2G), and then follow above process.

Working settings in WMLongLife 0.61.0205:

Qualcomm MSM75xx (CDMA)

3G (auto)

850/1900 Mhz

Verizon Wireless

Everything else is disabled, except "Show band switch notification."

Disable everything in the whitelist tab (3rd tab).

This was VERY painful to find a process that worked for all programs, so hope you find this useful in developing the next version of WMLongLife! It's clear that it has big potential.

Battery draining on HD2

Hi,

I had been using WMLongLife on HD and it was a must have for me.

Recently I upgraded to HD2 and have this installed on day 1 (the HD2 version).

I noticed that my HD2 battery life was very weak. I thought it was normal as it has such a huge screen. but after reading some feedback, thought not great, most of the users can at least have their phone last for one full day. Mine only lasted for 3/4 day.

To debug, I uninstalled some background app - Just uninstalled WMLongLife and my phone battery life has improved significantly. (I am not saying it is definately the culptrit...)

It does work in the sense that it does make my phone toggle between 3G and GSM. But instead of saving battery, it seem to eat up alot of the juices.

Left my phone over night, my battery could drop between 15-20%.

I hope an updated version for HD2 is coming soon! looking forward to that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] highturk:
New version

Hope the new version of wmlonglife will come soon! :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
It seems for some reason unattended mode is not properly released on some devices ATM. It could also be related to trying to get a signal, hard to figure out.

That is a true ***** to track, on other devices it works fine. I hope to find it but when is another question :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LordAegir:
well, it definately works great on my Xperia. So I'm worrying about the februari 1st deadline where the program stops working :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the_scotsman:
Using the "HD2 experimental" version on ym HD2...don't seem to have any problems...battery dropped 3% overnight, which I'm happy with.

As a test, tonight I'll uninstall it and see how much it drops.

Switching also works perfectly for me, great work :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bence:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hawke84:
I've given up with this program. couldn't get it working from day 1. using bandswitch now and autodisconnect works every time. even with weather auto updates etc. u do have to pay forit but if yr feeling cheep google for cracked version...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Georgeous2008:
I've been using WMLongLife for quite some time now. It does a great job. I am however wondering whether or not WMLongLife negatively affects the ability of Internet Explorer to connect. Anyone have a similar experience ?

My setup: Blackstone stock ROM (latest), Opera Mobile 10 beta2 set as default.

P.S.: Not that I like PIE that much, nevertheless, some great apps use the latter's engine and I don't want to miss those ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darfri:
Nice

Hello and SORRY for a start for my laziness.. for not trying it out first. But is this running as a process all the time? I am asking because up to wm6.5 there is a maximum 32 process limit so if this WOULD be a 33th one it would kill some older process. If the process "slot" is taken only when you want to see the interface it would be OK :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the_scotsman:
Hmmm..been using the HD2 version for a few days now...it was working great, but now for some reason it doesn't switch to 2G when its off anymore....nothing has changed. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling but still doesn't switch any more.

No internet connection

Hi! I use to connect my omnia(XIIB3) to internet through |usb <--> PC| connection but after WMLongLife installation I can't no more. Where am I mistaken? Are there some way to set back to original WM configuration?

0.65.0287 release notes

The download and changelogs etc are listed on the first page.

Some notes about this release:

I have not been able the replicate the HD2 battery drainage issue so far, but I've just flashed to a new (stock) ROM a few days ago, I will attempt some more testing later.

However, I should note that any problems with HD2 running on a non-stock ROM will NOT be actively investigated. So if you have problems on the HD2 please state your ROM and test if the same behavior occurs on stock.

Roaming features have been removed. As I stated before in another post, I have been working on a rewrite of WMLL internals. From that, also the RoamFreely application was made (and is on Marketplace for a few bucks). It took a lot of extra effort and testing to get the roaming part to work properly, and though I ultimately want it back in the rewrite release, porting it back to the old codebase this release is built on is in my opinion not worth the trouble.

As was requested by some users, a small API has been added. The details can be found on the first page.

Some outstanding bugs and improvements were fixed as well.

On a sidenote I also discovered new and exciting ways to change 2G and 3G preferences and settings on the new Samsung Omnia (GSM!) line. I hope to update WMLL soon with these settings added (but who knows when that may be).

Some testing was done with Samsung Omnia II CDMA and LG Monaco GSM phones but so far I have not yet figured out how to switch bands with these.

AS WITH EVERY RELEASE OF WMLONGLIFE, any bug not listed as a bug on the first page has to be RE-REPORTED if it still occurs!

--------------------------

Also as stated before in another post, I am not sure whether or not (or for how long) WMLongLife will continue to be developed.

It is an interesting (and very complicated) app to make, but to do things really well I really need better control of bands than is currently possible (better access to the radio chip). It is extremely hard and lengthy work to add phone compatibility. There are a myriad of ROM related problems as well.

Further, the possibility of this ever going to Marketplace are slim (and it's not like more than 5 of you 18000 users donated). To add to that, the code of this code will not run on WM7 and will probably have to be redeveloped from scratch. It feels a bit like throwing time into the abyss, working on this app.

So the future? I have no idea. I'll let you guys know when I do, though.

I know it is on one of the pages, but I can't find it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Black1982:
I think I solved some of the problems regarding the phone not switching back to 2G after the screen turns off.

Make sure the "Screen off 2g switch delay" is less then the time set at: Settings/Power/advanced/ "Turn off device if not used for "

If the latter is set at the same or less amount of time then the switch delay

the device is turned off before the switch can be made.

Or so I think!

Makes sense, but took me a while to figure out.

I hope this can help some people!

Bedankt Chainfire for this app, essential piece of software!

Battery lasts for >3 days now!
