[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] purec0de:
i think whats trying to be said here is that the HD seems underpowered for the resolution of the screen...in many respects i agree.

i have a 300Mhz ipaq 2190 running 240x320 and on a 6.5 ROM it is vastly faster and smoother, i was genuinely shocked.

obviously though there are MANY other benefits the HD offers (compared to that device)

but the question is valid...why have HTC released a beast of a device that offers comparatively less performance per pixel (in resolution terms)

or has the best just not been squeazed from the drivers yet??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
You just nailed it. ;) HTC is well-known for this :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Syc:
I certanly hope so. The GL driver is one example.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] FrEcP:
I'm sorry - but I wanted to know if it's depending on ROM's (versions, settings,...) or just on resolution (and bad drivers).

As really sems to be the resolution/drivers and there are enough performance threads you can close this if you want.

Hi guys

I'm searching for some ringtones, mainly for sms (short, a beep or two), which are optimized in term of volume and frequency. We all know that the speaker on the Raphael is very poor, so maybe some of you have a suiteable ringtone that makes me not miss too many sms (like 10 undread today) :P

If anyone has other suggestion on how to increase the loudness or vibration, please share your knowledge! :D

First of all, sorry for my English. (I am French)

Do you know if google map will be soon compatible multi - touch?

[G1 Apps and Games] nickmgray:
Google Maps will probably not feature multi-touch support until Android officially enables multi-touch right out of the box. The HTC Hero does have multi-touch, but only is app that HTC has heavily modded to support the technology. The Donut development branch seems to have multi-touch capabilities, but just like Cupcake, we will most liekly have to wait 4-6 months before it is fully functional.

Hi everyone,

I'm struggling to disable the annoying "Select a network" screen which popup automatically when you are in manual network selection mode, and when you just have lost your normal network.

In this case, i don't want to select another network, i prefer to stay with no service until my normal network reception is back again.

I can't find so far a key in registry which could disable this.

Is there anybody here how know a solution ?

This is for WM6.5

Thanks in advance.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stigy:
So I have two questions regarding the icons in the "taskbar" (ie 3G, BT, WIFI, time, etc)...

1. Is it possible to make these icons smaller? If I have Service, BT on and the phone on Vibrate the taskbar gets filled up pretty quickly and I was wondering if there was a way to shrink these down?

2. Has anyone been able to replace the battery icon with a percentage?

Thanks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Any of that is possible by editing the .xml files.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stigy:
So I would have to edit these .xml files (location?) and then resign the update and flash my phone?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
You can't edit the compiled xml files straight from an apk. You'd have to rebuild that apk from the source.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stigy:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
You can edit the images that way, but if you want to edit the xml's you'll have to pull them from the android source and recompile through eclipse. The xml files within an apk are in binary format and you can only really change them with a hex editor.. not very practical.

The documentation here will help you get started with the source:

http://source.android.com/download

You might also want to run through the "hello world" project to get used to compiling with eclipse.

Once you start digging around in the source you're getting deep into the geek sh*t.. It may seem daunting at first but you can accomplish so much. :cool:

Mine died overnight when I paused watching a tv episode using HTC Album and went back to the Home screen. I've had it happen a few times always when watching a video and pausing it or going back to the Home screen with the Home key. It seems like you need to stop the video and not just pause it otherwise it kills my battery. I now make sure I stop the video and then usually kill the process for good measure.

Since today (I think after installing XT9 keyboard) there is no notification anymore in the SPB Mobile Shell panel, if I have recieved a new text message.... On top of the screen the little icon of a enveloppe can be seen but the sms notification picture in SPB mobile shell stays empty.

Anybody an idea what causes this problem???

Problem got worse: now I cannot even sent text messages anymore (I can make a phonecall, I can use mobile internet)

I'm using the latest Dutch Generic Rom.

Hmmm, I used to have the same problem (the original, not your edit) due to a clash with XperiaTweak - you don't have that installed do you?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bart1981:
I actually do, but that went perfect since today..... But I've been using XperiaTweak already for a few weeks now and never had this problem..

The sms problem seems to be random.... Sometimes it does send a textmessage and sometimes it doesn't... Strange, maybe an overload of the sms server???
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jas0607:
I think you should try to uninstall XperiaTweak and see if the sms icon lights up again. I had the problem 3 times and all 3 times it was a clash with Xperia Tweak. I'm pretty sure it didn't happen at first either, so I'd recommend that.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bart1981:
I'll try that :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bart1981:
No succes, it's not XperiaTweak.

I think it's XT9 keyboard, which is also in It'jes roms

Or maybe the TMC software...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyBe:
I uninstalled the XT9 keyboard because it screwed up my slide out keyboard. The hardware keyboard just echoed random characters no matter what I typed. The problem did not happen when I initially installed it. It took a while of use before the problem surfaced. Once I uninstalled the XT9, the problem went away. I'm using standard R3a.

So, I would be very suspicious of the XT9 keyboard since it is a beta software.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jas0607:
That's rubbish it didn't work, apologies for making you uninstall it! Perhaps it is XT9 after all.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stigy:
You can use "Log Collector" on the device or just adb logcat from a computer to see what is going on while the phone is lagging.

Those are probably your two best bets.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marty22877:
does it show it in a graph? or it's just text logging?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stigy:
It is just a log of what is going on in the phone at the time.

Might not be EXACTLY what you are looking for, but it should be a start to at least determine what is running at the moment that is causing your phone to lag.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pandora_box:
disable vibration at touch flo

disable auto rotation

enable auto bright
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] cottonpickers:
In notifications, disable the sounds and the screen coming on for Reminders etc

Make sure you Close (not minimise) apps before putting your phone on standby

Don't use push web/ auto weather update auto rss etc

set phone to 'lock' phone when you switch it off (search other threads)

These should help stop your phone from doing 'stuff' when you put it in standby (or put it in your pocket) and using up battery when you just want it on standby.

Then perhaps, the radio on the TD2 isn't as bad as I thought
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PhilipL:
Hi

I think this is an urban myth now. A mobile data connection doesn't use any more power when idle. You maintain a data connection all the time with the mast, that is how your phone works to receive text messages and phone calls. A data connection on the phone is just the same thing with the added extra of your phone having a valid IP address on the network.

It will use less power to keep the IP address continually rather than have it connect and get a new one each time as obtaining an IP address uses power.

You can test yourself with any application that shows mA of the battery and it isn't any more for having a data connection on, unless of course you have an application actively using the connection.

Regards

Phil

I think the problem is for those of us with poor 3G reception. Continually reconnecting to the 3G network increases consumption. I'm no expert so I cannot state this is categorically true.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PseudoReal:
I am disconnecting GPRS/3G when turning the device off and I do believe that I have a quite better batter life...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PhilipL:
Hi

I'd advise against this. HTC are not stupid and they will be disabled for a reason. The drivers are either ignoring these settings or the power savings are very insignificant or it means more power is used.

Powering down these things also costs power to bring them back up, which means it can use more power sleeping and re-awaking devices than it does to just keep them on. This is why SmartPhones (non touch screen) don't sleep like Windows Mobile PDAs, they just turn the screen off but the CPU is still on responding and programs are still running and awake. Historically Windows Mobile PDAs were not mobile phones, they were just PDAs, so it made sense to make them sleep where the CPU shuts down completely and no programs run, basically like a computer hibernating. This still happens today but isn't ideal now as PDAs are constantly having to turn on to receive text messages or phone calls or retrieve email etc, and each time the phone has to leave standby it uses power to initiate all the drivers, so you end up expanding more power transferring between power states than you save. Microsoft will move to the 'always on' modal like SmartPhones probably with Windows Mobile 7.

Why the long explanation, well HTC may be deliberately not using power management as they are moving parts of their phones to be always on, and trying to enable these things may cause instability or for the phone to use more power.

Using a program to measure mAmp draw on the Topaz there was no difference in power consumption between having power management enabled or disabled, so my opinion, leave it as it is.

Regards

Phil
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bnm7bnm:
Hi Phil,

Theoretically you right, but i don't agree with everything.

There are other tweaks that definitely improving performance but still, HTC did not set it, so probably they have their reasons...

I used this tweak more than year on several devices & many roms and did not see any stability or other issues.

About powering on versus idle,

If it takes more power to turn on than keep idle (i'm not sure thats so but lets assume) then it must depend on how long its idle - there must be a time frame from where it do saves power.

The only question is if its actually doing what it supposed to do or not...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] obsydian:
Dude do a simple 1 day test with data on, then data off, then lets compare notes :p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PhilipL:
Hi

Info on the subject here http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/08/01/446240.aspx

Like I say I've tested the current draw and saw no difference enabling the power management options, so I think better to leave alone, at best the settings are ignored by the drivers, at worse they may have some negative effect I can't see.

Yes there are settings that may make the phone quicker like enabling caches or making them larger, sometimes we think things are quicker, sometimes they really are :) Just like a computer some performance settings are off for safety, for example write caches which when enabled could mean data loss, so HTC (and any other manufacturer) will be very reluctant to enable these things, again these things are disabled for a good reason, and not just because HTC want their phones to be slower. I never said all settings should be left alone, and if you want to risk losing data for a slightly faster PDA (whether real or a placebo effect) why not.

Having the phone maintain a data connection does not use more power in itself, I have done the tests and linked to an article below. If you enable a data connection to use Push/Pull email then the fact the device is constantly polling for and retrieving email will of course eat into battery life, but it isn't leaving the data connection established doing that, it's the applications using it.

http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/07/14/666203.aspx
