Yeh

Yeh, as a note to some former replied.

Li-Po (Lithium Polymer) batteries need to be kept in check, overheating can make them dangerous and explosive as well as reducing their life cycle.

Which point you charge the battery from with Li-Po does not mattery as long as the correct "conditioning" cycles are completed when new.

Also, as a note, I have once or twice attempted to charge my Xperia from the USB port on my laptop(plugged in) over night, only to find the battery of the Xperia was totally dead the next morning.

The USB ports of my laptop provide 500mA (standard) and the charger for the Xperia is 700mA so not a significant difference, but I guess other things affect the the USB ports on laptop (including Windows 7 having the ability to disable US ports to "save power").

It most probably assume the "device" connected is wasting power and so disables it. Although we want it to charge. Same goes for Windows Vista. This option can be disabled though.
[XPERIA X1 General] ianl8888:
Yes, but wall charging while using connected wifi does heat the battery relatively quickly (my Polaris, Li ion, gets vaguely warm, not as obviously heated as the X1 battery)

I've tested this with a new replacement battery - careful overnight charging when new - and similar behaviour still results

This has convinced me that the X1 has a serious weakness, as charging while wifi connected is a long-standing work habit. If the wifi is connected without charging, a usable time of 2-3 hours is all you get (no good :mad:)
[XPERIA X1 General] maedox:
I think that is a general "weakness" in all phones. No phones are able to stay on with wi-fi activated for more than a few hours. Don't act all surprised - It's always been that way.

I'm sure you won't notice any big difference in battery life before you buy another phone. Even if you use wifi and charge it at the same time. The engineers behind the phone(s) are surely smarter than making a mistake like that.

If you charge your phone with a PC with ActiveSync installed you don't need wi-fi because it can use the AS connection.
[XPERIA X1 General] Fr@:
Hmm, I think you have a faulty battery. Up to now, I can stay connected via wi-fi, surfing with Opera, for more than 4hours, and still having a good 30-40% battery capacity left.

On the other side, I do agree with you that overheating is a real big issue, my X1 battery always get hot when I recharge via USB.
[XPERIA X1 General] Needs:
lol.... Last night, I was wondering why my wifi refused to connect and i still have internet access.. lol. (since i've used NODATA to block all gprs,3g internet etc..)

Now i know why. BECAUSE im connected via cable with ActiveSync...
[XPERIA X1 General] dick_pomper:
LOL I had the exactly same last night, the RSS feeds where 1 hour old when I looked at my phone, I'm abroad so I checked "No Data and everything was fine. Now I know... The Xperia keeps suprising me, in a positive way!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] ianl8888:
I really do dislike it when my post is misread and the mis-read is then answered with some very silly comments.

1) I've tried 2 new batteries - same result, despite first charging them both slowly overnight before turning the device on. Yes, I've used the wall charger with Sony Ericsson stamped all over it ... that is to forestall other silly comments.

2) I was pointing out that the battery overheats when using wifi while connected to the wall charger - every time. The Polaris with a Li-ion battery now 15 months old does not - it just works all day. So the situation is not the same for all PDA's, OK ?

3) using wifi to transfer maps to and from my office LAN (ie. more than one PC), edit, rerun the geological modeller, test the maps in the PDA programs, edit them there and re-transfer and so on is extremely inefficient using AS rather than wifi. And I tend to work for 9-10 hours at a time, not a few hours to listen to trivia. Again, the Li-ion battery of the Polaris shows no such overheating symptoms, but Li-poly batteries do

4) the same problem applies to using GPS. You cannot run the battery with GPS on for more than 3-4 hours without loss of power. When I field-map, I'm using it constantly for up to 12 hours, so it has to stay on car charging. The SE battery heats alarmingly within an hour or so, the Polaris never does. And yes, I'm using Sony Ericsson car chargers ...

5) I'm not suggesting that Sony Ericsson engineers were stupid - instead SE cut manufacturing costs with a battery that would suit the Generation Y trivia crowd ... heaven knows there are huge numbers of them. The X1 is not suitable for the heavy use I have with its' current battery configuration

Now, please READ the post before commenting. I welcome constructive replies, but those that address different, made-up, questions are consigned to the "can't read" bin.
[XPERIA X1 General] Fulgore69:
I can tell you that the heat on battery is normal on Lithium ion Polymer, but they suppose to store for longer and more capacity... And there are more leight, but i prefferd the lithium-ion....

Sorry for bad english..
[XPERIA X1 General] Steve_TLS:
Digging up an old post.

What is the setting to disable WiFi when connected via ActiveSync? I'm sure mine used to turn off when I was connected to the internet via ActiveSync. I must have changed something somewhere (that I can't find) to cause WiFi to keep running while connected via ActiveSync.
[XPERIA X1 General] Bangsat86:
To the original post: That is strange the only thing i got with my xperia is A wall charger that has on the other side a usb connection. So thats like charging my xperia with usb. You guys got a normal "Wall"charger?
[XPERIA X1 General] Steve_TLS:
Same here. The wall charger has a USB connection on it for power.

The SE wall charger in my bedroom with a spare mini USB cable, the iPod charger in the lounger room with a spare mini USB cable, the car cigarette iPod charger in my car & a spare mini USB cable, all have powered USB sockets and all charge my phone depending where I am. (Lot's of friends have Nokia's with mini USB too, so I use there's when needed at their homes too.

I use the OEM mini USB cable supplied to charge and Sync on my laptop.

Don't think I'll get caught with a flat battery in a hurry :)

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] vikram_don:
Hi,

I got struck with one problem in Windows Mobile 5.0 Today Screen Custom Plug-in application.

I created a small sample Custom plug-in which retrives system time and displays on the today screen.

Iam able to make entries in registry success fully , place the .dll file in the path mentioned in registry. Now after re-starting the device i am even able to see my custom plug-in.

Now the actual problem is as i navigate each time to other windows (say File Explorer or any window). and come back to today screen, my custom plug-in is disappearing. When i go back to settings and Today items and click 'OK' each time, i am able to see the custom plugin.

Other examples down loaded from net are working fine but my application is having this issue.

Can any one please help me by suggesting or finding what the actual problem is?

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moitoius:
Hi All,

I cracked open Remote Spy++ and started figuring out how I could go about writing a Honeycomb start menu replacement for WM5-6.1 (seen the XP Start Replacement? Same idea). Having written something similar on desktop Windows I thought it would be easy. The app is in C#/CF.

So the window hierarchy is:

- Desktop
- HHTaskBar
- (nothing !!!)

And messages of interest (in order):

WM_LBUTTONDOWN (0x201)
WM_PAINT (0xF)
WM_INITMENUPOPUP (0x117)

Okay, so forgetting about the fact that the window is opaque (I will delve into this later on), I went ahead and subclassed it to catch the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message (the others didn't stop the original from showing up). That falls over (the debugger doesn't even break into code and the device needs a hard reset). I am investigating this - although my MessageBox shows up just before it dies.

Update: Using BeginInvoke with a worker method fixes the above issue. E.g:

public IntPtr NewWndProc(IntPtr hWnd, uint msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam)
{
if (msg == WM_LBUTTONDOWN)
{
this.BeginInvoke(new Action(DoWork));
return IntPtr.Zero;
}
return CallWindowProc(oldWndProc, hWnd, msg, wParam, lParam);;
}

private void DoWork()
{
Form2 two = new Form2();
two.Show();
}

So my question: the HHTaskBar is opaque, it has no child controls. Obviously, I don't want to subclass the battery/close/etc. buttons, and ideas on how to reliably retrieve the rect for the start button?

Or is the whole thing a hack? I suspect there is a way to do this without all this subclassing hackery. Google and forum search didn't turn up anything.

Thanks guys.

Source code

Usage: (not recommended on real device - use an emulator!) Click on button1 then click anywhere on the taskbar. Now reboot :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
I'd start with Quickmenu:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=471292

This app is the best start menu replacement I ever saw...

I'd only add a mixture of WKTASK's taskbar management and the ability to choose a icon for the start menu.

;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moitoius:
Thanks

Thanks, it doesn't look like he has any source code available though. Looks like I will have to investigate more... I am not going for the drop down style (but as you said, it is really cool), I am trying to make a Honeycomb (WM 6.5) style menu.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
I tried the wm6.5 honeycomb start menu... was not impressed, but maybe it had some extra something i didnt noticed... :/
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moitoius:
I still haven't flashed my device with 6.5, but I reckon a FOSS honeycomb menu could be cool...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frepe383:
I think you'r on to something here. The start menu as it is in WM6.1 is pretty much useless. I would much rather have the start menu show me a application shortcut page like the one in WM6.5. Although to be honest I don't really like the honeycomb look. What's wrong with a plain old columns and rows type of thing. With the added physics scrolling/swiping stuff of course ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moitoius:
Exactly! I am also hoping to replace that shoddy settings menu.

I think something with tabs (like Manila 2D) such as 'Programs', 'Running Programs', 'Settings' would be pretty useful. Skinning is a given, and honeycomb would be one (for the fanatics).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moitoius:
Update

I decided to call the tool Mead (as in the beer that contains honey :)).

I was having problems with the default message pump and the hook (well, subclassed event). I am not sure which message was crashing my program, but if I use Application.Run() a native exception occurs in mscoree3_5.dll. The workaround is to create the form in the handler for the hook and show that one (it wasn't a UI thread being called from a worker, I am aware of that). So I think it must be a CF message pump bug. In any case, it works great now.

Quitting isn't all the way there yet, still some bugs (the type that will need a soft reset).

On to the UI stuff.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] winwiz:
Excellent idea mate, but is it worth doing? the Beta 2 of 6.5 is already out and i am guessing its not long until the final version
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] laser21:
Any news on this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moitoius:
Nope

Nothing new. Just haven't had time between my job.

For now I am pinning it as the native call-in issue that the .Net CF suffers from (a documented limitation). Something isn't quite right.

I will continue to experiment, but push comes to shove, I will probably land up creating an interop library for it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] _TB_TB_:
Instead of subclassing, you can just create a childwindow of HHTaskbar that is located over the start button.

Alternatively, you could suPerclass the "Explore" window class just to replace the Programs menu. Beware, that superclassing may be a bit dangerous ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moitoius:
Interesting Idea

That is an interesting idea. When I get time I will start messing around with it.

That said I do expect some problems: again the interop call-in to .NET CF, but this may prove to work as a work-around :).

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Toggs:
I know this is a touch screen phone - and that OK but the screen gets smudged easily and, of course it can get damaged if you're a bit heavy handed. What would be fantactic is an application that mimics finger scrolling by using the g sensor i.e. tip the phone a bit and the whole page slowly glides across - tilt a bit more and it moves the page faster. This would be great for web browsing or ebook reading - maybe for games too.

Tirinoarim is making a great virtual d-pad application. but I don't think it's going to do what i'm thinking (though I may be wrong).

Any body know of anything that can do this? - or wanna have a go at coding one?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Now I don't know loads about GPS, but I do know that Assisted GPS (AGPS) uses data, and that helps you get a GPS fix by using pre-calculated information on a remote server. Though you are not using data to download maps if you are using Tom Tom, your GPS might have been using AGPS to speed up the time it takes for the GPS to locate you. As I mentioned though, I'm not super knowledgeable about GPS, so I might not be right. This is just a theory though.
