Battery

Comparing a single user's experience between one combination and another is proabably a MUCH better guide than just arbitrarily assuming that a particular combination is best. However, it is very difficult for *me* to EXACTLY duplicate my prior setup & usage after I flash a different combination. So, I am never certain that I have improved or degraded my battery use.

I have determined that the BEST decision (at least for me) is to keep trying until I find a combo that I can live with - and just use it for a while. Constantly changing this stuff is time consuming. :D

No, thank YOU! You are doing an excellent job with the FAQ!!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witzman:
I was much happier with that combo. General use for me is about an hour or so wifi, several calls, and a crapload of text messages (mostly work related). A full charge at the beginning of the day ends up at around 75% at the end of the day. I can get about 3 days on a single charge before the phone starts getting crabby. My battery is about a year old and I NEVER start charging it until about 10% or less.

Be brave! Flash the SPL to 3.34! :)

hi bros, can someone who tried the v6 tell me the improvement over the v5.1? I'm currently running the v5.1 w/o any problem, WILL give the v6 a try, but just don't have chance to give it a try right now. backup-flash-restore-reinstall apps take a long time to do and I got an airtrip in the next day.

Could anybody tell me exciting bits first! thanks a lot!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] IronManDS:
I like v6 more than v5.1. It's got a sexier chome setup and a great look. The screen lock, however, is quite a pain. Using just default lock settings, I have yet to be able to answer an incoming call while locked. Additionally, attempting to answer it brings up a dialer screen which will only disappear by soft reboot - no way to close it.

Once that's addressed, I'll be using v6 until something pretty impressive comes along.

Battery Combo

All this talk about which combo results in better battery life is really bothering me, because no matter what I do (and if anyone can help pointing out), with previous combo 1.70.19.09 SPL 3.29 hard2 or the recommended combo, I don't get much battery life as everyone here.

I left office with 100%, played music (Audio Manager, using wired earphone) for approx 20 mins, updated Sync Time, checked email (nothing new), updated weather, send/reply SMS (about 5), and reached home with only 85% left.

I have the 3G always ON (but data connection is off when not doing anything). I heard setting the phone to GSM/GPRS only will save battery .. haven't tried that.

My backlight is only on the third notch on the setting, dimmed at 30Sec, and sleep at 1 min. Using S2U2 (if that matters? ) v. 2.0 (but even on previous version, the battery life is about the same). I rarely keep apps open, upon completing a task or using it, I tap x to kill it. I have the tap & hardware sound (the 'tick') on.

Now, my phone is only about 4 months old (but dunno how long it's been on the shop's shelf). I know LiIon is prone to aging .. but want to understand if any of my usage habit can be improved to get a better battery life. Even Shane with his old battery beats my record (I try emulate what he described, my battery would drop much lower than that).

:confused:

Things on my startup that doesn't come from the ROM:

MapKing SMS

Magicall

GAlarm

iLock (S2U2)

SipChange

Spb Wireless Monitor

Voice Command (MSVC)

Last Update

I just went back to page 200 .. read through, didn't see the good battery tips. Apparently everyone is doing that and I'm not :o .. no wonder my battery consumption is higher ;)

Hi There, i've just flashed my tilt with your ROM and it's amazing, but it's really slow, it's supossed it works like that? sorry if i'm not the first guy asking about it. Thank you
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msd24200:
no maybe something you've done and or installed, your the only one i've seen post anything about it being slow, it's fast for everyone else. did you hard reset after the flash was complete?

V6

Hi guys,

Did anybody experienced this kind of thing I can hear myself in call (I mean my voice echoing) the same way it use to be while I was using Abus' Rom. The other problem was when I installed a cab my Kaiser froze so I had to soft reset.

Maybe bad flash caused these problems though I flashed stock ROM first than V6 from PC, and made 2 hard resets.

Anyway I got back to V5 because it's the best ROM I ever used (for my purposes) and I'm using M2D instead of chome so the new chome changes don't really interest me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zelendel:
Has anyone noticed that with the volume boost cooked in it is not as load? Yes TPC I did go into advanced config and choose loudest, it just does not seem to be as loud as it did with the volume cab. I tried to install cab but no diff.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mr. Megiddo:
I flashed a couple days ago and it's awesome.

The first 6.5 ROM I've tried, and I'm extremely happy with it.

I love all the apps included, the speed is great, and the looks are amazing.

The only problem?

I flashed 5.1! (and version 6 looks even better)

Oh well, I guess I'll try the new version and report back.

**edit**

After trying chome, I've realized that I don't like it. Thanks for including M2D!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] richabi:
bugs

@Zelendel - I believe Shane did not cook in the loud cab with this build. He told me in PM he wasn't going to include it since many people still have issues with BT. The option in Advanced config is still there if the registry keys are available and to give you the option to change it if they are (plus I am sure its a lot more work on him to go and edit it it out)

I really havent found any bugs with the actual ROM itself but there are a few with some of the chome tabs (which I am sure are bugs of those 3rd party tabs)

-volume level really doesnt change to "loud" nor "normal"

-tweather won't change icons properly. i get big Xs when I try

I THINK I remember having these same issues when independently trying these chome tabs on another ROM so I believe its not v6 related but just as a head's up

Oh, and BTW Pandora 1.1.1.0 (or whatever version that cab is floating around) works on v6 =D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zelendel:
That would explain it. But I think It should have still worked with the cab but It made no diff. Thats ok though. Not sure about the plugins as I dont really use it. Normally I use Point UI so I try to disable everything that I dont need.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Barkleyfan:
Not sure what's up, but I can't get quick GPS to load. Keeps running to the end then saying connection failed. I've tried flashing stock ROM then V6, I've tried over standard edge connection, active sync, and wifi. Then I even changed SPL. No luck. Might have to go back to 5.1. Had no issues there, just wanted the extra plugins with V6.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bbdoc:
Hi TPC,

do you think you'll create an V6.1 of your ROM including fixes for the quick GPS and RSS Hub issues reported here? I'm asking because I didn't have the time to flash V6 yet and would better wait for V6.1 if it's coming soon...

Another question about what I read concerning the battery drain with CHome plugins: I'm using M2D, does this concerns me as well? In other words, are all CHome plugins automatically disabled by using M2D or do I still need to disable them?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
richabi,

I haven't tried the weather, but the previous one, when you change to default, the folder 'default' should be available .. if not, it'll get X. I just copy my other Weather folder content over and name this subfolder 'default' and it'll work.

@bbdoc,

I think Shane has stated he stops doing 6.1 for time being. Personally I prefer the look and feel of 6.5 and with Josh & Shane work, no lagging at all, so why go back to 6.1 that's so 'Win 3.11 workgroup' looking ;)

@Barkleyfan,

Several pages back it was reported QuickGPS not working ..

recommendation

Is there a quick way to adjust the volume rather than having to find the volume icon on the main screen? I have tried to remap it using AEbutton plus but no luck getting the HTC volume control to display. just an option to increase volume. Mapping this button to volume control would be great in future roms
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] twopumpchump:
if you want the volume as loud as v5 was, go to advanced config and set to "default". then unzip this file and use total commander to copy it to the windows folder, overwriting other one. let me know if this works :)

and cvolume works, it just takes a lil bit for it to change from silent or vibrate back to normal or loud ;) its the way the app is, nothing i can do about it but it works.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
Shane,

It works .. but I didn't backup the old file ..

I don't use BT, can't help you there ..

BTW, CVolume (the old one that I used) also have that behaviour, so it's confirmed.

Merged multiple posts

I think it is a little of a mind-set - I WANT my battery life to be great and I look for things that support my conclusion <grin>.

This kind of measurement is very difficult to accomplish. I am sure that you are aware that several of the programs you load in StartUp will run constantly and therefore drain the battery to some degree.

There is a VERY COMPLETE program called Battery Guard that will give you the battery load (in microamps) at any given time. I *THINK* that you can even check the load on an individual program basis. I.E., you could check to see how much current Voice Command draws while on idle. I cannot say for sure because it is a bit more learning curve than I have had time to give it so far. The simple part is to just look at the instantaneous drain for a given configuration.

Get the program and give it a try. In the mean time, I hope to learn more about it in the next few days. Maybe between the two of us, we can learn to use the tool and give more AUTHORITATIVE advise about battery use.

BTW, I do not in any way dispute the battery tips but for the #5, my PERSONAL experience does not support this. I ran my 8125/Wizard for two years, on the same battery, by recharging it every night - regardless of the current charge state. It is STILL a great battery and always lasts more than a day under normal use.

YMMV.

I hope this helps, I don't get quite as good battery as I did on the Wizard but it is tolerable. I certainly would like to have 6 days standby and 10 hours talk time though. :D

This has been answered SO many times here (did you read back a dozen pages or so?) that I doubt you will get an official response.

Short answer:

Flash SPL; Hard Reset; Flash OEM; Hard Reset; Flash new Radio; Hard Reset; Flash TPC's rom; Hard Reset

Follow those instructions and report back if you still have problems. BTW, you can check the FAQ (page 4) for help. If you want to download my config (SPL; Radio; Rom), see my signature.

Welcome to a great rom & support community. Most questions will be answered either on Post #1, Post #2 or on the FAQ (post #4).

This rom is complete but a few chome widgets are missing. With M2D, there are about 20 links set up in the laucher but about 5 or 6 do not work. These are considered MINOR issues - not worth discussion since you can fix them yourself. All of TPC's ROMs works GREAT right out of the box.

Shane: Did you receive this? I have not heard anything and the numbers on page 1 did not change. I got charged (Confirmation number:	7EM37127C7666143X) so if you did NOT get it, we have a problem.

any fix to disable either stock or phonecanvas slie to answer

Speaking of the wizard a while ago I tried a rom(I think one of 6r88 that had what looked like a version of phoncanvas with the slide to answer feature disabled. this let the default stock wm6.5 2 buttons (look like the 6.5 lockscreen buttons) work without the conflict that happens from time to time.

I know that this is probably way down on your TPC/Shane list but have you tried leaving phonecanvas out and then having it as a cab addon? Ive been looking around to see if anyone has came up with a working kaiser solution for the slide 2 answer 6.5/canvas and see the mbvarion is working on porting the topaz version and also found the athermus qvga dialer that so far seems to play nice here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=441829

Also with the skin disabled via sevurity reg key with rickou26 taskbar v3.2 installed I still see bluetooth and network icons. sorry for in advance if this is a waste of space but figured since we are working with final non beta 6.5 code that it might be time to get the dialers slide to answer bugs resolved.

v6 bugs...

Finally flashed v6. I have installed all my apps. Soberguy, everything is running much faster with radio 1.59.46.12.

The RSS bug and QuickGPS has been mentioned by others, but I want to ask you guys with the QuickGPS issue: Do you have a download link? I don't have a download bar. The only way I can get it to try to download is select auto update when it expires.

Other than that, I haven't had any issues with v6 so far. BTW, Titanium Weather is finally giving me the correct info for my area. So TPC, you can finally stop beating your head against the wall trying to fix it for me :D

My Tilt is an first day model, stock against stock is slower than the newer models. I say this because I read so many posts the last three pages about people changing radio setup. Guys, there are more than just six radios out there. You might have to go and try some of the newer radios. Like I said, I'm using a radio that no one has mentioned in TPC's,Josh, or Abu's thread.

Trying to help y'all enjoy your Tilts as much as I enjoy mine:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SoberGuy:
Glad you're up and running! Like you, I got one of the first Tilt's. Hopefully we're upgrading soon!

For QuickGPS, I don't have a download bar either. I think that Shane is talking about taking it out of the next ROM, and going back to the old QuickGPS. Don't know if it's possible, as the new build is ported from Topaz. Hopefully Shane can clarify that a bit.

For me, this is my first time trying to get a GPS lock without having QuickGPS data. It worked this morning, and took the same it usually does, even with the data. Try it out, you may find you don't need it. Someone (lawmom??) posted that QuickGPS is just snake oil, and I think I'm starting to agree...

Are you running CHome or M2D? Glad the weather is fixed for you! Now that it works, how's the CHome layout for weather? LOL

wm6.5 at fault?

I have XDA2's 6.5 on my wizard and for all practical purposes, it runs as fast as my Tilt with TPC's 6.5. When I first started with the Tilt (about a month ago), my experience was WORSE than with the wizard. Mostly, mine is set up on my truck with an external GPS running IGuidance. Works better than I have ever gotten the Tilt to work with its internal GPS. The only thing missing is HSDPA but I only get EDGE here anyway so really the Wizard works as well (better) than my Tilt.

But, back on topic, for those who say that WM6.5 is the FAULT for battery drain, slow response, etc.... I can tell you with CERTAINTY, that my 200mhz Wizard runs GREAT on WM6.5. I have excellent battery (2yr old battery), good response, and all functions work great on Manila. The response is sometimes better than on my 400mhz Tilt with WM6.5.

I have TWO great devices.:cool:
