Hey everyone,

Been lurking on here for quite a while now. Just flashed my x1 to generic UK R3A rom. However I could not find any changes to the actual phone. The only thing I've noticed is that the camera doesn't take as long to take a picture, but no auto-flash also no new games or panels. Help please? Searched all through each X1 section but to no avail :(

Used Hardspl, Generic R3A UK ROM, Windows XP - ActiveSync 4.5

Thanks everyone
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
The answer lies in a couple of the R3 threads around... basically the R3 is a bug fix release and its surmised that the R4 ROM will be the holy grail...
[XPERIA X1 General] wazaaappp:
If u want any other plus features u'll got to install it by urself... Have a look In ROM dev, and Apps and themes, u'll find a lot of great stuff for xperia, just like u want. Flash+geodata (cam), new games, and lots of apps... otherwise send me a pm and i'll help u :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Mr Anderson:
Presumably there is a good reason why SE removed the goodies from the R3AA ROM...

My brief experience when trying the R3AA with all the goodies thrown back in (from the ROM released by itje) is that the new Panel Manager is a bit buggy and conflicts with the HTC Task Manager, the new Media Experience Panel is buggy, doesn't run properly, and conflicts with the Radio Panel, and CPU usage (and therefore drain on battery) is somewhat higher.

I went back to stock R3AA with just the camera update, and I'm very pleased with it. Fast and stable, feels much better than R2AA. Landscape switching is so quick it actually makes the feature useable now. :)
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
R3A hasnt been officially released in the UK yet either so we will have to wait till it is released
[XPERIA X1 General] charmzZ:
i recommend the R3A update to everyone ur batterylife will be maximised:D

other then that i dont see anything new but thats a major update for the time being
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
but it hasnt been oficially released!
[XPERIA X1 General] wallie-s:
yes it is!

in the netherlands.. but also many other country's have it already more then a week on SEUS
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
not the UK :(

Thanks for any assistance in advance :)

BTW Wonderful website :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Scotty93:
hey nice to see you using this website, the cooked roms work fine on the hermes and there are some with a touch orientated interface like the iphone, not exactly but they are still pretty good.

there are some offical roms though if you dont want to try the cooked ones they are listed in the wiki.

have fun and if you have any more questions ask :D

Today, while cleaning out the desk of some ex-colleagues we stumbled upon an old Toshiba e750. It is loaded with WinMo 2003. I know these devices are prolly almost extinct now, but i am wondering if its possible to load WinMo 6.1 on this device? Sure it wouldnt be a ROM with calling and everything but i am curious as to this devices capabilities and maybe i could use it for some lightweight work such as internet and calendar. Any Input is welcomed.

I've setup my GMail account with the setup assistent. I can see my new Mails in 'Inbox' (Posteingang) and sent mails in 'sent objects' (Gesendete Objekte). The Problem is when I sent an email trough TouchFlo>People>Mr.X>E-Mail the sent/received emails from this person won't appear there. (SMS and calls will be shown) Which of the folders is connected with People Centric Communication? I think Inbox and Outbox or Sent Objects, but in the inbox there are some emails from this person but the email tab is empty.

Anybody know whats the problem?

Try the following ... it's a hard reset ...

hold down the Vol Down button, the center of the Dpad and the power button (on the top of the TP) for a few seconds.

Follow the on-screen prompts.

Good Luck!!
[General Topics] delawaresace:
did you let your phone dry out first. if you didnot, remove your battery NOW and let it dry for a few days (don't stick it in the oven or use a hair drier). the reason is because there still might be some water in your phone and you might short it out. have patience, let it dry and then try a hard reset.

[Touch HD General] Raztyler:
Hi All,

I am having this queer issue, my touch hd cuts off call after 15 seconds of it ringing and displays it as a missed cal whilst the call keeps ringing at the other end. That means, for me its a missed call before i can pick it where as the caller continues to hear the call ring at his end. Anybody faced this? I use Dutty 3.3 ROM. Any help will be great!

Thanks

Raz
[Touch HD General] Raztyler:
nobody has got such an problem???
[Touch HD General] spikeysas:
I don't know if this is the same issue you are experiencing but since earlier this evening I have been unable to make or receive calls. If somebody rings me the HD rings once and then goes back to the home screen. The caller hears the phone ring once and then it cuts off or they get a message saying there is a fault. If I try to call someone from the HD it rings once and cuts off. I have tried soft resetting the phone and also switching it off, removing the battery for a couple of minutes and trying again but I still have this problem.

Is this the same as you have been experiencing?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wildcard26:
Thank you for a very informative post. Very good info here.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] alex_time:
How can I full discharge my battery? Simply left my TP on until it dies? I am wondering that if it is wrong reading battery level, maybe it switch itself off when it reads 0% but maybe the real battery level is..10% or 15%, how can I be sure that the battery is full discharge? My TP is 3 month old, so, or my battery is damaged, or my TP is not accurate reading battery level; I was forgotting that sometimes I have done some soft reset while charging (but not in the past two weeks)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kusbainian:
Noticed something interesting the other day, here are the series of events that occurred:

- Battery died - phone turned off (is that considered a full discharge?:confused:)

- plugged it in, and it started to charge. The lights on the pad began to pulsate.

- Sometime later I realized that the phone was off so I turned it on. Mind you the lights were still pulsating indicating that it was charging. After the Version # screen came up and just before the Windows Mobile screen comes up. The lights which was in the middle of a pulse, stopped, and began again from the start. Is that considered an interruption in charging?:confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mindfrost82:
This should be a sticky!

The main problem I've come across is an inaccurate battery meter. Quite a few people using RRE WM6.5 have reported battery issues, but I've noticed its the meter, not the actual battery.

I RARELY did a full discharge (and I've had my phone since it came out in November). So after flashing the ROM, I did a full discharge. It stayed on 20% for a long time, then it stayed at 7% for a long time, then it seemed like it was at 1% forever. The phone finally shut off. I did a full charge while the phone was off. Now the battery meter is MUCH more accurate.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] p51d007:
I'm using RRE's and noticed the "meter" issue. Think I'll give your suggestion a try and let it die over the weekend and juice it back up.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mindfrost82:
My phone has been off the charger for about 8.5 hours now. I sent/received about 10 texts, and I've had about 10 emails pushed through Windows Live and my battery is at 92% now. All on Edge with a good signal. Not too bad for me.

Battery Life

While the Fuze doesn't get the greatest battery life, one thing I immediately noticed was the extension of life when I switched my email from checking every five minutes to once every hour.

Just saying.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mindfrost82:
Every 5 minutes would cause a huge drain in battery. You would be better off pushing email to your phone than checking every 5 minutes. Once per hour isn't too bad unless you're getting lots of emails every hour.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thesilentnight:
This is great information...thanks for the tips...and yes, getting emails every five minutes SERIOUSLY drains the battery...i learned that the hard way
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mxgoldman:
I noticed when I could watch my battery drain and the phone was burning hot.

It was also shocking when it had 100% charge when I went to bed and was dead when I woke up.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mlk:
Same here

MX, I thought I was going mad (going m-m-m-m-mad, I say). Last night, I turned off S2U2 (a notable battery drainer) and my Pro was at 100% battery at around 11pm, woke at 7am to find that the battery was @ 5%! To my knowledge, nothing else was running - certainly no phonecalls or texts and no other actions. Only thing I noticed (because I had forgotten) was that the Bluetooth headset was still connected and switched on - surely this couldn't have killed the battery in 8 hours?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gmanfuzing:
i get horrible battery life and i follow all of the "rules" is it really possible that active sync is the battery killer ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Phantom55:
I heve recently bought a new HTC Touch Pro. After just few weeks, battery's gone crazy. It doesn't want to recharge, even connected to charger for 16 hrs. I got the icon of charging, I can still do anything as usual despite the battery doesn't save any energy. Could it be some energy drain? I'd be grateful for help.

gmanfuzing: I think it depends on how much operational memory does the ActiveSync use. Try shutting it down.

edit: problem solved, gentlemen. It's a failure of my ac adapter. Sorry for making trouble.

Battery Drain Problem - Day 1

I got my Raphael 5 days back and immediately installed few apps and did some tweaks (energy and performance) using PHM Reg, Diamond Config tools and suddenly the battery started draining like crazy. ( 45% ) in 4 hrs.

I did a hard reset, disabled TF3D, did some energy saving tweaks using Advanced Config.

Here are my readings...

8.30 am - 100%

9.30 am - 98% - 2% Just Standby ( No push mails or Data Connections )

10.30 am - 95% - 20 mins MP3 and 2 SMS

11.30 am - 90% - Did Absolutely Nothing except 4 checking the battery :(

12.30 pm - 90% - Did Absolutely Nothing except 4 checking the battery :)

1.30 pm - 86% - Disabled Battery Icon ( Soft Reset ) Installed Ariel Battery

and continuing I'll keep updating...

BTW is this reading normal??? Personally im not too pleased.

P.S.: Just want to know how can I know what version of ROM and Radio is currently there in my device

Some doubts

Very informative and interestin post indeed! Thanks very much!

I always thought charging full and recharging only when the battery is empty is best for batteries. As, I thought more number of times you charge a battery a the life time decreases. But in your info you say that frequent shallow recharges are better for battery! And never do a full charge?!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mr.jaguar:
a few other things that might help your battery life (as in usage time) are to try different radios (I found 1 radio that gives me FAR more usage time than I expected), you can try no2chem's nuedynamicclock 1.3 ( I think is the current version) to underclock the processor during idle times, and to turn off 3g if you're in a poor 3g coverage area (like me). any and or all of those could help a bit. I've heard there are reg hacks to reduce polling times and some other stuff like that, but I haven't tried them cause I haven't heard anything great about them.

thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bauerpavel:
I understand your doubts, since I used to have the same, however what you are describing is charging pattern used for Ni-Cadmium batteries (usual recharging AA,AAA batteries) Their handling is pretty much opposite to how you handle Li-ion batteries. Li-ion battery loves to be charged as often as possible with no need to hit the 100% mark (except for the case of recalibrating device's reading capability - roughly every 30 charging cycles).

The reason for avoiding reaching 100% is to prolong overall battery lifetime-battery will be "dead" after roughly 500-600 charging cycles, even tough it could live longer. Why? Because 1 full charging cycle is considered the one which hits 100% charge of the battery. If you use partial charge technique you can do 8 maybe more charges without the battery counting off those charges as full charges, therefore you should get much longer battery lifetime.

Tried to make it as clear as possible, hope you understand now :o
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bauerpavel:
Yes, you are right. From my experience the radio choice is one of the most significant variables when it comes down to battery life. The most important thing, I believe, is to understand how Li-ion chemistry works. That is why I have been spreading this thread around xda, because it's surprising how many people can see no difference between Li-ion and Ni-Cd batteries even though the way you treat them is diametrically different! And yet, so many people treat their phone batteries as the ones they used to use for their remote controlled toys etc. :eek:

All the reg tweaks never really did anything for my battery. I hope one day we all will be able to get the most out of our batteries. All it takes is to throw our old ways behind and understand that times changed :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] p51d007:
I let my Fuze run down to 5% battery, charged it up, let it run down to 5%, charged it up again, and instead of an overnight battery drain of 60% (I have mine set up to check email every 30 min, weather every hour), it only drains 2-3% from 100% in 8-10 hours of sleeping at night.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bauerpavel:
Very good indeed! I do what I preach and in last couple of weeks I lose nothing overnight :)...and my phone stays with me alive for 40+ hours now with moderate use.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] whosy11:
I've noticed that my Fuze will not charge when it gets too warm.

I often place it up on my car's dashboard with it plugged in and Google maps running. Usually, for the first 30 minutes or so, it will stay on because I have it configured not to sleep if it is plugged in. However, after sitting in the sun for a while, the charge indicator goes off and it goes to sleep. At first, I thought my car charger was on the fritz, but after a while I figured it out. Now, I use a phone holder that clips into my A/C vents so that it has some extra cooling.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bauerpavel:
You can be thankful for that. It's a safety circuitry that prevents battery from overheating which could further damage your phone. Hope you are aware that elevated temperatures have very bad impact on battery life. Discharge level doubles with every 10°C (18°F)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pking:
So the best way of treating the battery is tocharge it when its around 20% and stop at around 80-90%?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bauerpavel:
Pretty much so. It's much more important not to discharge too deep. Not going all the way up to 100% will just prolong total battery life which is regularly around 2 years (600 charges). I usually replace my batteries after one year, so not a big deal for me. It's individual. If you intend to keep your battery for 3 years, try not to charge all the way to 100%.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] teemo:
Good post.

But I find this wrong:

The external charger have ONE function: Deliver 5V and enough current(A). The HTC charger does that. The one that came with my TP2 :D can feed 1A at 5V.

The regulation is done inside the phone. For precision charging you need a very tight loop between regulator and battery; the charger in the wall can not control the charging with a long usb cable going to the battery.

I would not worry about overcharging. The internal regulator will prevent that. It seems that TP2 limits charging just below 4.2V.

Here is the regulator for the Kaiser (that has served me well for about 2 years without battery replacements, having left it charging all night every night without problems): PM7500

Again, thanks for the top-info. Batteries are complicated science these days.

Funny thing: Today at work I plugged the TP2 to a Thinkpad Notebook at work. It was actually draining the battery... fast! A note popped up, telling me the charger was too weak and to use the AC charger. Never seen that with the TyTN2.

Charging Voltage

What regualtor is used in the Raphael and what is the min and max voltage that it can handle? I'm asking this becuase I wonder if I could connect batteries directly or if some electronics like a LT3534 should be used here.

Of course, for making a generic battery charger an LT3534 would be the better choice.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black1982:
test battery capacity?

How can you test how much capacity the battery has left?

The battery indicator always displays 100% after a full charge, but the real % must be lower? so how can i test how much of the 1340 mAh my battery has left?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pa49:
This is an interesting observation which leads me to where I would check the output charging current of your adapter. Some USB ports on some laptops will not give sufficient charge to even start the process if the battery has been drained down too far. Nokia had this occur on the N95 and had to produce a specific chager that had mor ooomph(!) to kick start the charging cycle so you can see that Lions are a different breed of cell chemistry

You may have a situation where the current draw is greater than the supply and when the predetermined cut off is reached the device shuts down. Standard USB should give a nominal 500mah, but some don't!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pa49:
This may be of interest to some of you.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Poke_N_PDA:
How do I know if my charger cuts off the charging at 85% like is stated in this post? I have a couple of old HTC charges that I can use. I'd prefer to use these as they aren't the stupid brick and USB cable provided with my sprint phone and have longer cables. Also, I've got a car charger I'm betting doesn't cut this off. Is there a method we can use to figure this out?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bauerpavel:
Your charger is not suppose to cut off when at 85%. It cuts off when at 100% to prevent battery damage. Most of new batteries have their own circuit protection. So said, you should be ok using other chargers (if their specs are the same as raphael's). You would have to get very unlucky to get both cuircuit protections in your charger and battery not to work at the same time.

The 85% thingy is related to "over all" battery life - it gets prolonged if you don't charge your phone up to 100% but around 85%. Why? Because one full charge equals to between 5-10 shallow charges. And avarage li-ion battery's life is over after roughly 600 full charging cycles. But again, I wouldn't be affraid at all to charge it all the way.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] naughty6t9:
active sync

does active sync creates prob to battery life, suppose we usually plug the phone to add software or to upgrade, n during tat time the battery is say abt 60% n after the work is done, its been charged to 100 or around 90's.. wil it create any issue..
