Hi,

Yes I've installed some software, like gAlarm, S2U2, icontact,ThumbCal, Skype, etc but last night none of them was started.

What can I do with the SD Card?! I need the SD-Card. Which card does not drain battery and which does?

I cannot turn off the phone over night.

Some clues here in this forum

[Touch 3G General] ungureanub:
I've read those before posting, but there was no answer to my problem. I have 67% drop of battery in 8 hours without touching the phone.
[Touch 3G General] darfri:
This is most likely that your device goes to screenoff or unattended power state instead of sleep. Your power settings might be corrupted. To change that go to your power settings advanced tab and change everything there (checkboxes and sliders), press ok and then change them back as they were, press ok. I'd suggest to keep the device turning off in one minute while on battery and none of the checkboxes for cord powered mode. There is a really freaky thing that even if you get your device to sleep with power button it will go back to screenoff mode after time specified by the turn off device slider while on battery IF you don't have that turn-off-while-on-battery checkbox checked there.
[Touch 3G General] ungureanub:
Thanks for the answer. But I do not really understand what you are saying here.

My power settings are: 30sec for Screen Light and 1 min for Device (on battery).

None of the check boxes is set for the case when the device is powered.
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
It could also be due to the battery defect. After some time the battery could lose its storage ability (because of the defect), despite the mAH stated.

As a comparison, my battery is nearly one year old. On full charge, overnight drawdown (on sleep mode) is about 2%-3% .
[Touch 3G General] MvBoe:
I have no own experiences with this programs but Skype for example needs permanent connection to internet when activated (be care of the background job!). This uses data connection and this drains battery. I can not quantify this in %. In addition Skype does not allow the system to switch to deep sleep because it needs permanent connection!
[Touch 3G General] ungureanub:
None of the app was started. I just have Skype installed, but it was not used.
[Touch 3G General] nicodbgh:
Uninstall S2U2 !!!!!
[Touch 3G General] MvBoe:
I found some German threads that discuss a problem with this software and battery life. Some loose 10% over night others 50%. I think you should try to uninstall (and afterwards soft-reset!) for a night and see what happens.

Please keep us informed.
[Touch 3G General] ungureanub:
First of all, I've disabled the 3G. Now it only gsm with gprs. Since I've done this it seems the battery drop is ... super ok. If yesterday morning I've had 33%, this morning I've had 20%, so 13% drop in 24h, and the phone was used normally as before.

last night the S2U2 was not started.

I will wait until the battery level reaches 10% an I will do a full charge.

I will keep you informed. Thanks to all for advices!

[Touch 3G General] ungureanub:
Hi,

So now, 2 weeks later... after setting my Jade to GSM only (no 3G) I get 7-8 days of normal usage. As I said, before I always had to charge it the third day.

Normally, i get -28mAh drain in standby. When the screen is on around -130mAh (for wake up) and then -70mAh. In a gsm call i get around -250mAh.

I did not switch the phone back to 3G yet, but I will and I will see again the battery drain.

PS: the values were provided by Mobadi.
[Touch 3G General] DJHicks:
i believe i have S2U2 installed... and my phones fine!

i have the overloaded rom... and battery life seems great only needs charging every 3 or so days and i do use it quite alot!
[Touch 3G General] ungureanub:
so...

after some time of testing and re-testing I still have, from time to time, the behavior that during night I see a massive drop in battery level and an increase of the usage time.

I do not know what is going on, but I suspect that some app is waking up the device to do some work (without turning on the screen), and the Jade cannot go to sleep anymore for a while.

I've notice the same behavior on a HTC Diamond 2.

Since none of the app I have installed on my Jade are installed on my friends Diamond2, I have no idea what app could do that.

If anybody has any idea, feel free .... I am idea-less! :D
[Touch 3G General] ungureanub:
I've made myself a little application to log the current values of the power data. So, I've saw that my phone wakes up each hour by himself, without turning on the screen, does some work (cca -70mA) and after 30sec goes back to sleep.:confused:

Any ideea about this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shoktong:
Hi! I'm a magic user here in manila and I've spent an amount on an IMEI unlock through a website (total gsm). To cut the story short, I believe he gave me a serial that might work with other networks but not on mine (still waiting for that refund). I really want to use the magic with my primary line.

Is there a way to update the radio to remove the network unlock? Thanks everyone!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
An unlock has nothing to do with what network you are using.

A sim-unlock will make it work with EVERY network.

He could have given you a bad code.

What is the problem you are having?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shoktong:
I'm just giving the guy the benefit of a doubt. Anyway, each time I enter his code, my magic notifies me that

"Network unlock is unsuccesful". I do hope this gets resolved soon.. or someone help me out. Hehehe. I just want my magic unlocked.

Question: does a hard spl always remove a CID (and does CID removal mean full network unlock)? Does the dream have hard-spl unlock?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] robotician:
IMHO, super CID means that you can flash any rom, NOT unlock network.:rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shoktong:
re CID unlock, i kind of found that out reading through the forums :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ziva032000:
Recently I have been trying to get a GBA emulator on my TD2. I've searched about it and found some recommended GBA emulators. I tried some of them, but for some reasons, they don't work on my TD2.

The emulators and the problems are as follows:

1.Morphgear

-It can't run certain roms due to insufficient of memory.

-If it can run the roms, the game screen and the controller turn out to be REALLY small.

2.PocketGBA

-A d-pad is needed to play the games but TD2 doesn't have one and so far there is no virtual d-pad for PocketGBA.

It runs smoothly. All I need is a d-pad!!!

3.GBACE

-It can't load ('see') any roms though I have already installed the tgetfile.dll file.

I'm confused whether it's an April's Fool joke...

Does anyone have the same problem?

Can anyone solve any of the problems?

Or is there a working GBA emulator other than those I mentioned?

:confused:

I hope there will be a way.

Thanks for any reply. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] creutzwald1105:
I use MorphGear on my TD2. You can download other controllers from the developer website (I use "Gameboy Advance OSX". It's simple with wide buttons). Then you can resize it to WVGA with any paintingprogram and copy it to the Games/Morphgear/Skins folder. Now the controller should use 1/3 of the screen.

In the settings under Display > Sreen size choose "Auto Scale" and the game fill the other 2/3.

Hope I could help.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ziva032000:
Thanks for the reply :)

Now the game screen is much bigger :D

But can you tell me how to resize the buttons to WVGA? :confused:

I don't quite understand... I'm so noobie with this.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Dking7:
How to?

I can't get on my HTC Diamond 2, I get error 355. When I install with cab I don't get anything... Can some one just post theirs so I can just put it on..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ziva032000:
Do you have the description of error 355??

I can't post my cab because I think it has some problems too!

There is always a 'memory insufficient' error and it lags a lot...
[HTC Excalibur] purplemonkey0:
I downloaded some ringtones as mp3 or mp4 but no sound when selected as ringtones. It works if I select it to play in windows media player.

I have 3VO series rom on WM6.5.
[HTC Excalibur] snl702:
check your settings, and make sure you have the ringer on loud and your system all the way up on the slide. hopefully this works.
[HTC Excalibur] soclean:
i was using ringtones downloaded from myxer and they were in mp3d format and would never work. so now i just cut my own songs and make my own shortened mp3's and they work fine everytime.

check the file format on your computer and see what they are.

ignore what i said earlier it is invalid. my problem stemmed from the newest 3vo rom. dont know how to work it out.
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Are the files you are trying to use high-quality, or better quality? If so, then try to use ones of lesser quality, since you don't need a HQ sound coming from your cell phone on RING...chances are that loading up that sound (if it is of a higher quality) takes up a decent amount of processing power/RAM, that at one point it just can't process the ring anymore.

I am using the 3vo 2.5 as well...if you want to send me the file, i can see if i figure out what the problem is...(you can email me it, just click my name and send me an email)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nextelbuddy:
since i have installed the lated Qtek Hero Rom i have noticed that it helps immensly to overclock to maximum 527 and minimum 383. i kno its a bandaid for havving less ROM than the real HERO but im concerne about extended overclocking on this device.

i would like to know if others have overclocked with good luck and not had any problems with their 32B magics and Mytouches.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bridgemill:
When i normally used a Hero, I always overclock my device with the same configuration as above. These days im just using remodded I/ON build to get a faster device.

The new kernel (2.17.401.2) has been released and HTC have made some change to clock frequenses.

# cat scaling_max_freq
528000
# cat scaling_min_freq
384000

Any discussion on whether it is okay to overclocking or not should be finalized if HTC themselves overclock their own ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
528 is not overclocked. It is the chip spec. Going OVER 528 is overclocking.

I was trying to add French Polynisia's whether on the list (city Papeete), since I plan a trip over there. I did, but I noticed that the time shown was totally wrong. Papeete's time is GMT -10, and the HD was showing it GMT +6. The same (wrong time) was shown for other cities I tried in say New Zealand, Australia etc. Any ideas how can this be fixed?
[Touch HD General] PooleyUK:
What ROM are you using? is it stock, have you flashed it? A little more detail about your device OS would help.
[Touch HD General] stsalkit:
Yes... sorry... I should have done this... I am wearing the stock ROM (I flashed it a few months ago following the update). I have diselected the option of automatic update from the operator. To give a bit more meat of the problem, right now I am writing, GMT time is 16:42 21st of August. In my country (Greece) it shows +3 h as it should since we are in DST. In Papeete (Frence Polynisia) it should be GMT -10 ie 06:42 21st of August. Instead the weather tab shows 02:42 22 of August ie GMT +10!!!

Can someone check it on his device and come back?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
So this is for us Tmobile TP2 users who have PIE as the default browser.

I've had a few people test this & it has worked for most. I've also tested the updated cab from a fresh hard reset & it works for everything.

Things it does:

Sets OM as Default Browser

Makes OM the default for the Internet tab on TF3D

Changes the startup page on the Internet tab to Google

Sets search function on Internet tab to go through Google

Opens bookmarks on Internet tab in OM

Opens all links in any app with OM

Increases max tab allowed in OM to 5

Changes "Minimum overview Zoom" in OM to 90

Difference between OD & ODBookmarks

The ODBookmarks cab is the same except it takes away the globe & 4 default bookmarks on the Internet tab & just has your OM bookmarks listed.

(See screenshot)

Uninstalling

If you don't like this, just unistall like any other program. Also, to change the Internet tab back to Tmobiles default, install the TmoDefault cab. You have to do this because if you unistall the first cab it'll delete the settings for the Internet tab. Also, for some reason, no matter what, after you set OM to default, if you revert back to default settings, OM will still open all links in other appls. Don't know why, but it will not revert back to IE. Sorry.

Warning

If you've changed any settings in the OM ini, this will overwrite those settings so you'll need to redo them.

***Not for us with WM6.5 &/or Manila 2.5+ since i dont run a newer rom & i've never messed with it.***

Thanks for any help. Please leave feedback.

If you tried the original version & your links don't open in Opera, install the new one & everything should work. Thanks for helping test the original.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fabolous04:
i installed the 1st cab and it works...launches opera by default from the net tab
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vHatch:
It fixed the internet tab for me but links in mail still opened in IE.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
hmm, it should have done everything. i wonder what went wrong? Did you soft reset the device & then try?

@fabolous04 do links in emails & everything open up in Opera Mobile as well?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tipduncan:
Works great. however i wondering how to change the internet shortcut key to opera. cos it defaults to PIE. thx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
Are you talking about the key on the keyboard? I don't know how to fix that. I was just thinking about that a few minutes ago.

Also, do links in emails & everything open up in Opera Mobile as well?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mac404:
It still opens links in internet explorer, as far as I can tell. It did change the tab in tf3d.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
Ok, i have to figure out what else i changed on my phone but didn't put in the CAB that's makes the links work on mine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jim_0068:
Works for me; plus my email links still open in opera mobile
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
Cool. Glad to hear it's working.

@jim_0068 I'm thinking you're right (on tmonews) that the preference setting inside OM is needed as well, so I may include a modded ini file for that in the CAB. Its weird though because my ini file shows that particular setting as not being changed yet it all still works for me.

I just wish I could compare my registry to someone who hasn't tried this or anything else on it, just to double check all the registry settings i changed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HeavyComponent:
Anyway to get this going for the WM 6.5 Windows Default home screen? On the bottom it says favorites, but IE is showing and you could add favorites for IE. I wonder if this could be Opera and add bookmarks for Opera.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cdguider:
Works Great

Thanks for the cab
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
I don't know if it will work for 6.5 or not. If you try it, don't hold me liable if it messes anything up. If it does work though, let us know.

Also, glad to see it works. I guess now i'll edit the original post to show what all registry edits & what-not that it changes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jim_0068:
to the original poster: I just noticed that while this works perfectly it doesn't scale properly when you are using touchflo 3d in landscape. was curious if you could look into that? thanks for the wonderful cab though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ryushe:
Thanks for the cab., it worked perfectly for me. One very minor issue however. I have both the stock version of Opera Mobile and Opera Mobile 9.7 (I believe) beta downloaded from OM's website. When launching the default browser, it open with the stock OM, but with links to emails, the beta version opens up. this isn't a problem for me honestly, I even actually prefer it since the beta version actually scales the page better, but I just thought you'd wanna note that. Awesome work on the cab. and thanks again.

Oh yeah, how do I use the favorites cab.? Is that what I use to change the favorites on the internet slide of the tflo3D?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cirrob:
Worked great

No problems. I still had to do the configuration in opera:config to set it as default so it would be used from email links. Other than that, it worked perfectly. Thank you for the easy tweak. Those of us who dont know what we are really doing in the registry appreciate it when someone takes a tweak like this and wraps it up for us with a nice ribbon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
do you mean when you're on the Internet tab & go to landscape mode? I just did that on mine (i have it where the globe is gone) & it just moves all my bookmarks to the right. It seems that TF3D has it so that The globe will always default to the left part of the screen in landscape. I don't know how to fix that

As for the 9.5 vs 9.7 issue, i think that has to do with if you set 9.7 as default in the settings (i think that's an option)

The favorites cab is the same as the first except for it takes out the globe & the 4 default bookmarks on the Internet tab & just lists all the Bookmarks you have set in OM

Yeah I'm going to edit the cab to include the ini for OM with the "Browser First Time Launch" set to 1

Yeah the main reason I made this is so that I don't have to redo the registry edits manually next time i hard reset. Glad i could help out others
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
updated OP to fix changes in cab file. Everything should work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HeavyComponent:
What I meant was to make a new .cab for the WM 6.5 non Manila OS to have Opera the default. You know how it says favorites on the last slide and it's for IE? I want it for Opera instead. You know what I'm talking about right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
I haven't messed with 6.5 at all so i don't know what slide you're talking about or anything. Do you have a screen shot?

As for setting Opera as the defaultl (w/o TF3D), if someone could provide the registry tweaks (which probably are the same) for 6.5, I can compile them all in to a cab for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HeavyComponent:
No I don't have a screen shot, I guess I'll just have to wait until someone does. Thanks anyway!

it only changed the tf3d shortcut...my email links and bookmarks open in ie...which one was i supposed to install?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
install the first or second cab. the first keeps the 4 shortcuts & the globe while the second gets rid of all that & just shows your Opera Bookmarks.

It should work for everything. I've tried it 4 times, each from a hard reset & haven't had a single issue with it changing everything.

Still can't get opera as default in manila tab

I managed to change the default browser to opera for anything that starts outside of the manila tab BUT no matter what I try the globe, the search bar and the shortcut tabs start in IE.

I have edited text in the application file, I've tried the opera default cab and I've tried editing in the reg edit to no avail.

Any further ideas?

I'm using Touch HD, manila 2.5 on miri's latest.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
with using Manila 2.5 does that mean you're using WinMo 6.5? if so, i don't really know if this'll work. In theory, if the registry settings are the same, then yes. But also, you said that you've edited the xml file too... hmm... you have me stumped. sorry.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aragorn771:
On my internet tab (with the globe) this cab changed my book marks to ones I don't really want...how can I put my own bookmarks on the tab?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
Through Active Sync go to \Application Data\Manila & copy the xml file to your computer. Deselect the "Read-Only" attribute & open the file in Notepad. Change them to whatever you want & save. Reapply the "Read-Only" attribute & put back on phone.
