just a thing from me

i installed this last night and when i woke up my battery whas empty (had 48%) been playing with the configuration and recharging now hope it will not happen again but i will report back later

anny ideas how its possible that i lost 48% over night

i dont get how this app works

ive got the function on that when the screen goes of after 15 sec switch to 2g

i feel the vibration after 15 secs but when i turn on my screen i has no signal:(

tried calling to my number but i got voicemail

what am i doing wrong
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the_scotsman:
This app sounds fantastic.

How does it work with MMS? Will it switch to 3G automatically when it receives an MMS?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
It's strange, but there are several possibilities that may cause this. Probably on your specific setup something is hammering events in WMLL internally... in other words, you caught a bug somewhere. It may be related with you not having a signal. Either way there'll probably be an update taking care of various issues and some updated event handling later this week (some problems have been uncovered).

Which exact device and ROM are you using? (I see several in your signature)

By the way, are you using the "Switch to 3G when the screen turns on" feature? That would be a reason you would have no signal for a couple of seconds when turning on the screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I haven't actually specifically tested MMS, but it should not switch to 3G when receiving an MMS if it wasn't already in 3G mode. Switching during receiving an MMS might lose the MMS transfer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] miniterror:
well i will wait for the update then:D

and i whas using it on my touch hd with the latest 6.5 energy rom

the other two devices takes almost 4 days to get empty so im fine with those

and i had that function on but thought of that one to so turned it of and soft resetted and then still had the thing that ive my screen goes out i loose signal and icant get called or receive text messages

i will patiently await an update:rolleyes:

redownloaded the cab and now it doesnt loose signal anymore and i dont get voicemail when i call myself

went to the thread and saw sme people had to soft reset twice so did that to after my new instalation

ive the cab works well on my hd i will instal on my other phones to;)

maybe they will last two weeks with a charge or is that to hopefull:p(now having three to four days with full charge)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the_scotsman:
Oh ok...I must be confused then...doesn't the phone need to be in 3G mode to connect to the internet to receive the MMS?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peacock93:
Chainfire,

I've tried to use WMLongLife .6 twice now and for some reason when I let it control my data connection I receive data very slow and sporadically. It also stay on 1x even though I'm in a very good EVDO area. The home page states that it is in 2G and wanting 3G but it never switches to 3G. I can manually make the switch and after an extended period of time it will finally switch back to 3G. I've tried the standard settings. I'm on Sprint using a HTC Touch Pro running a 21042 ROM made by the PPCKitchen. Any ideas??

well have to say my battery goes the same maybe a little slower but its not really noticable

gonna try later verions;)

Tested the v0.6 on a Touch Pro Sprint with Mighty WM6.5 rom. Worked as advertised at first. Dramatic improvement in battery life and it would switch back to 3G whenever one of the configured apps opened. Only one issue I have noticed so far..... it does not seem to recognize WM6.5 internet widgets like CNN, EBAY etc and fails to allow them to connect. When I disable WMLonglife they work fine.

All in all a really good program, with only minor issues so far.

Addendum.... on further testing it appear that I am losing the ability to make data connections with all software including google maps, iexplorer, opera mobile, etc. So the issue I am running into is a complere loss of data at times.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scarymonkey:
Just trying this out (0.6) on my Touch HD but came across a problem setting the program specific options. Regardless of what I press it seems to stick on the first entry and I have to force close the app to get any further.

Will keep playing around though in case it is some setting elsewhere that is causing the problem for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] number16:
I am using it on my Touch Diamond and it works, for the most part. Thanks for the great app.

VERY occasionally I'd start Opera, which is on the whitelist, and it won't switch to 3G. 9 times out of 10 it'd do that though.

The 'band switcher' doesn't seem to do anything when I want to manually switch to 3G ... I end up going back to Comm Manager instead.

And, not sure if it's caused by this program or not, but my memory usage seems to slowly climb after installing this program. My memory usage is usually 70%, and while this program doesn't drastically increase it, I notice it slowly creeps up to over 85% within a couple days. Trying to clean up with programs like cleanRAM doesn't help. Resetting the device fixes it, for a couple days anyways.

Otherwise the program works as advertised and saves me a lot of time and hassle having to manually turn on and turn off the 3G everytime I run Opera!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MadManX:
I'm having this issue too... If WLL switches when the app opens, I can not get data to work. I have to close the app (not minimize) it and re-open it after the data connection changes... Sometimes this can take minutes.

Also, the MS My Phone service never sync even when the device is in 1x. I'm using the Latest MightyRom on a Sprint CDMA TP.

Otherwise the battery is great... But I'm not ever getting a data connection now even with push mail enabled on the defualt settings in WLL.

Also I have issues when I open an app that uses data for the first time. It will not connect at all after the dialog goes away to select what type of connection without closing and re-opening the app... And the dialog lags so badly it can take minutes to get it to select any button and to click OK.

Let me know if I can help with any other details.

Program working fine on my VZW TP (21052 sys)

I would like to see a disable function that would quickly restore all EVDO.

I have been stuck on 1X and even after un-installing I could not get EV icon back.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nagrom Nniuq:
I'm using a Vogue and it seems to cause havoc with any app I have that accesses the internet. It completely ruins Titanium Weather. Opera crashes everytime with it running. Ideas? I love the concept of the apps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
All this stuff will be looked at in good time. Right now, I'm going on vacation, though!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mandragore:
On my Diamond and Telfort, constantly roaming the KPN network, WMLL controlling my 2G/3G prevented all apps connecting to the internet. Haven't tested that much and uninstalled WMLL, because I need a reliable connection. So, no more details to share yet.

Like you said, all in good time. Enjoy your vacation!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Asphyx:
Have a great time Chain...

I will report that I did have an issue with the phone after a few days where it would never go back into 3G mode. I had to hard reset to get it back.

21052 (6.1) Caulkins Kitchen TP2 with Rhodium base.

VZW Radio 1.03.09V MR Update installed.

Even when I configured program to force 3G it would not go.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nagrom Nniuq:
No problem. Stop posting on here and enjoy your vaca man! The bug reports will be here when you get back ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shark1987:
I installed this a few days ago and my phone is still stuck on rA all the time. Isn't this the way I would know if it was working right? I'm using the Touch Pro on Sprint with MightyRom6.

Anyone else have a reason?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
The potential of the app is great, but it doesn't work well on my Rhodium (Touch Pro 2). When it switches, my TP2 is unable to register to the network (keeps on searching for a network).

Had to uninstall it again, but will give it another shot once this issue is solved! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nomad_delta:
I'm also encountering the same problem -- loss of data connection, so none of my data apps work, including my push Exchange email/sync. Sometimes it'll work again temporarily if I go into Comm Manager and try to turn the data connection back myself, but usually Comm Manager just hangs when I try and I have to soft reset.

I'm also using a TouchPro on Sprint, currently running the latest NRG ROM (Aurora).

I've uninstalled for now since not having data was causing me a little too much grief, but I really like the idea of this app so if I can help test anything just let me know.

Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alfredgonzales:
i tried WMLL on my sprint touch pro with stock rom. it worked as supposed to for the first two hours. after which google maps just froze and never worked correctly again. and the oprea browser took minutes to load and search. i tried all sorts of set up configurations but none would get 3g connections working very well. for a test i left it on 2g with full battery, and my battery lasted over 24hr up from 6-8hrs without this program. after uninstalling i had touch screen problems, screen just would'nt respond had to eventually hard reset. i would rather have a simple program you'ld have to manually switch from 2g to 3g, as there are definitely benefits to not have to charge this phone every 6hrs. good luck getting this to work correctly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mortikahn:
Chainfire,

I noticed a potential issue, although it could be a limitation.

It may be user error, in not fully comprehending the various toggles for an application config, but here goes.

RSSHub: Here is an application that needs 3g when it connects, but not necessary when the application has focus. The application runs in the background (screen off), but only needs 3g when it establishes a data connection.

How would you set the various toggles to configure this application to work with WMLL properly?

push email problem

hallo made a small donation for your effort, here is the reference .4UE59733RJ7740733. however am experiencing a small problem, with my push email, cause am using this software, on my touch hd, and i have dutty,s r9, installed, and the strange part, is sometimes the wmlonglife software, is actually, able to control, my push email settings, cause i have set my push email settings(google, mail), to sync, every 1o minutes, and sometimes, immediatly, after syncing, the data conection, would be disconected, however, sometimes, the data conection, is not disconected, and this kind of happens intermitently, sometimes working sometimes not. so my question, is what settings, are you guys, using in order to enable push email, to disconect, automatically, using this software, thanks. otherwise i have seen a remarkable difference, in my battery consumption, ever since, i began using this software, cant leave without it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rumball:
Great app. Will post donation.

One issue I ran across today;

I was using Opera which I have WMLongLife switch to 3G. I had shut down Opera and then within a few seconds I happened to receive a phone call. I also have "fast sleep on call" enabled...so when I answered the phone call my device went to sleep. Shortly thereafter the call was disconnected. When I turned on my phone to see what was going on I noticed that it was switching back to 2G. So my guess is that WMLongLife was switching from 3G back to 2G while I was in a call...which would cause a loss of connection.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] airjer:
This isn't true for z2 RemoteDesktop.. it stays on a 2G connection and nothing pops up for me to change it's settings. 3G is needed for this prog. I just installed today. Will report back on my battery later! Thanks for the hard work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] palmerfr:
Works fine on my Touch Pro II.

Thanks for the good job.

I've made a donation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] airjer:
Does work great. I get about 2 days out of my fuze now. Just need to be able to change the 3G settings for z2 RemoteDesktop and I'll be happy ;P.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hectorzin:
with my touch hd with gsm radio don't work. when changing from 3g to g or from g to 3g estais searching network forever.

anyone with a touch hd with gsm has got it working?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mortikahn:
Checking back in with something I noticed;

bandswitcher does not seem to keep the band setting you select after reboot. Not sure if this is by design or not, just noticed it since I am stuck in a place that doesn't have 3g, and have bandswitcher set to 2g only, to save battery.

I haven't noticed any bugs in the release I'm using (060.200) and its been working fine. I will test it more, once I get back home, where they know what 3g is. I'm scheduled to be back there on Sept 3rd.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Alright, I have returned from vacation! I will try doing a roll-up of current outstanding and reported issues in this thread from the last 3 weeks (yes it was a long vacation :))

I hope to finish that sometime this week, with probably an update following early next week (no promises). I may need people to come test things, though!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Ok trying to sum up newly reported issues here (including notes to self ;)).

[bug] Possible memory leak

[bug] Losing data connection (possible event storm?)

[bug] Unable to switch at all (network applet bug related?)

[caveat] RSShub background 3G (need to think about this one)

[bug] Disconnect during phonecall (shouldn't do that!)

Note that I have not mentioned problems that are already listed somewhere in the first post or are related to these things, as the relevant code for those will be changed in a future update anyways. This includes the complete ActiveSync / Push e-mail thing.

For those who the bands do not switch at all, I have noticed a peculiar thing. One of the network configuration applets, if you have ever been in there (without even changing anything) WMLL will not be able to switch bands anymore, ever, unless you hard-reset. This is under investigation.

As for remote desktop, this program does not use the connection manager API for some reason, and thus WMLongLife cannot control it. Weird though.

Indeed, BandSwitcher does NOT keep the band setting after soft-reset. I will think about implementing that.

All in all, I may be breaking WMLongLife down into multiple applications, or keep it as one big-app with a few separate 'little brother' apps (just band switching, just roaming control, etc)

Will update info in the first post with the stuff above later, when I've had some time to look at these issues in-depth.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peacock93:

Stuck in GPRS

Hi,

Since I installed and then uninstalled Wmlonglife 0.6 my Touch HD can only connect with GPRS although I have a 3G+ cover...

What can I do ??

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mortikahn:
Just a thought

After using Band switcher for some time, it would be REALLY nice if I could use band switcher to do what it allready does, plus do the things that the commhmanager does. This would allow me to free up a hardware button, and only using Bandswticher.

functionality needed in bandswitcher

airplane mode

wifi on/off

bluetooth on/off

3g on/off

data on/off

One stop shopping for any form of communications on/off/configuration.

Just a thought
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Doud17:
Anyone has any clue about my problem 2 posts above ? :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Have you tried re-enabling 3G is the comm manager? If that doesn't work, try going to Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Band (tab), and playing with settings in that screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Keeping it in mind!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lastnikita:
been using it on samsung omnia without any big problem so far (from 0.6) :)

great app, nice design chainfire.

you could also offer to block internet connection to an app, that could be useful.

from time to time I noticed it didn't disconnect the connection right, but I'll have to check under which circumstancies. will report back later, hope I'll get a new release to test before that ;)

my gonads say thaaaaanx !

[Bug] Disable during roaming not (always) working

Hi, I just installed your app because my battery drain is much too high. So maybe your app may help me. I have notice an issue with the roaming features while testing.

I have the "disable during roaming" option set. However, I've noticed that dataconnection was enabled during roaming. After I manually diabled the data connection, I haven't seen it being activated again (so WMLL seems to work).

It seems it behaves like described above only after I switch on the phone (like after reset, not awake from sleeping mode) when I am on a roaming network, or when I enter such a network. It seems that the roaming detection in WMLL is too slow.

Furthermore what is strange is that although I have also (still) the NoDataWhenRoaming application running, the data connection is activated during roaming with WMLL running. Previously before installing WMLL I didn't notice that a data connection was enabled during roaming. Maybe the two programs interfere (although they both should do the same), or WMLL is allowing an app to set up a data connection without being aware it is roaming.

One other thing (not roaming related): when scrolling through the settings page I often accidentally change options because the sector boxes react to taps even if these are not on the box itself but somewhere on the same horizontal position (eg. on the text). Can you change this behaviour?

Mo
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shawner:
Great app and concept! I understand that this is still beta, but would you consider adding App to Date support for this program? I would love to keep up to date on this, but free time is getting less and less these days.

(sorry if this was already mentioned, search yielded no results)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] debsahu:
Have a bug, Can you help?

Thank you Chainfire for such a wonderful app.

I have a small bug to report:

My calender is synchronized via exchange server(uses 3G/2G) and that manages my meetings/schedule. And my Sound settings is set to automatic(vibrate during meetings) that synchronizes with the calender and sets the phone to vibrate.

The problem is when it is in vibrate during a meeting and I open a white-listed application, wmlonglife 0.60.200 disconnects my 2G and tries to connect to 3G. During this short time, the calender is unsynchronized and the sound is now not vibrate(full volume). Hence the system and Calender notifications become loud during that brief duration. Can wmlonglife also control sound notifications or atleast set the phone to vibrate during switching?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peacock93:
Chainfire,

How is the coding going? Anything about ready for another test run?

bugreport: switching when on wifi

Device: Touch Pro

ROM: Shep's 23016

When wifi enabled, wmll switches to 2g as supposed.

When enabling Opera on WIFI, all's well, no switching.

However, when you exit opera, even with WIFI still enabled WMLL switches device to 3G.

Also, when roaming, and setting: connect to.... after switching to 3G function enabled, above behaviour causes device to switch to 3G, even when roaming and makes a connection (although no data actually goes through unless you have something wanting the data I guess).

No biggy, just a bit annoying when you use WIFI a lot....

Otherwise, love the program :) Keep it up...

Looking forward to next improvements...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hectorzin:
I have a HTC Touch HD with GSM radio and when changing from 3G-2G or 2G-3G lost the coverage.

The only way to get coverage again is going to phone configuration and manually set the bando to auto or GSM.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] knights191:
I am using a Samsung I780 with a WM 6.5 rom.

From what I understand, using the 3g auto mode will make sure the phone it self chooses either 3G or 2G right?

Because I did not see a band change.. while I was on a train from.. where the 3G reception was 1-2 bars.. could anybody shed some light on this self chosing 2g 3g connection band thing? :)

This application is set up very smart Chainfire, good that you 'reserved' a domain for an maybe commercial launch. That Microsoft didnt came up with this idea up their selfs. Get a patent :P

Thanks.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nagrom Nniuq:
Chainfire, I spoke too soon. This is NOT working for me. When I use it everything works great, except my TouchFlo weather and stocks will not update after my phone is in standby for a while. I have to reboot to get them to update again. When I uninstall this, they work fine.

is there an easier way to switch from sprint only /automatic to roaming? Is there a way you can add a toggle in your app for this?
