[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msd24200:
lol oops, still need go ask in the dev & hack thread about your porting question
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stylez:
Like others state chefs & devs have never got the sleep issues with TF3D sorted and the same would come with M2D 2.5 as it's basically a amalgimation of 2-3...

Also another problem is real estate our devices are QVGA so tiny that it wouldn't be a true port as not everything would fit and still be useable.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jjblaster3:
true, and also the fact that our qvga devices are a thing of the past now, most new devices are now vga (well except the not yet released htc mega)

so i dont think htc or any developers would take the time to "try" and improve the kaiser 3d drivers to actually make it run smoothly.

I would recommend just going for manila2d/TF2D dumped from htc mega (the latest one)

or perhaps going for a new vga device although i would recommend waiting until wm7 comes out in order to get a wm7 ready phone
[Dash 3G, Snap General] MGS0LID:
My dad just bought a HTC Snap 16 days ago. Today I was playing with it and handed it back to him. An hour later he pulled it out of his pocket and it was all white except for a small area about 1 cm long and it was green. So we went to Best Buy to return it and get a new one but they said that the screen was cracked. They pulled out the battery and there was a small black line under the glass which apeared to be a crack on the actual LCD.

Best Buy said they could not return damaged phones. The problem lies in theres screen fracture being a manufactures defect because my dad was sitting on the couch the whole time and when he pulled it back out of his pocke it was broken.

We also viseted sprint because they are an actual HTC Repair center. Although they were not in they told us we were out of luck. I guess I have a few questions:

1. Is it possible to get this fixed or returned due to a manufactures defect? This phone has been in his pocket the whole time and he has never droped it. The device is in perfect condition the screen just cracked in his pocket. Sprint said it was a pressure crack but after we talked to the guy I went to the demo unit and squeezed the screen REALLY hard and it did not even effect the bottom LCD.

2. Would Sprint customer service be able to help reslove this issue?

3. If all else fails can we back charge Best Buy for not taking a return?

4. Any one else have any suggestions to help assist in this matter?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] brad1825:
Of course you could try sprint customer service, but if all else fails you could always replace the screen. I know it isn't a free fix, but it is cheaper than buying a new one.

I know to replace a screen on the origional dash, it was like 25.00 on ebay.

good luck either way, let us know how you make out.

[Touch HD General] Novice Gadget Boy:
Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anybody else has encountered this issue, or is able to give me some advice:

Looking at the attached pic, you can see that the call history button and video call/phone call switch button is overlayed (red circle). When i press this button, i get the call history come up each time. It does not allow me to make any video calls. I do have a camera on both front and back panels and video calling is enabled...it is just that the dialer doesnt allow this. I tried installing 3rd party dialer skins to replace the standard HTC one, however, i just get the same result.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
It looks like you installed an HTC 'fix' which causes this. They came out with a fix for this 'fix' just go to their site and downloads section under Blackstone.
[Touch HD General] Novice Gadget Boy:
Thankyou for your help. I could not find the fix on HTC website but after some googling with the key words hot fix and phone dialer (thank you for that) i found the solution at the following webpage:

http://www.slashphone.com/htc-touch-hd-hot-fix-needs-a-fix-084062

Cheers :) You were a BIG HELP ! :) :) :) Thankyou.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DJGonzo:
Hello friends, I currently have a fuze flashed with NRG's latest EnergyROM and I can only push about 5 hrs of heavy use or 8hrs of light use.

Light use consists of:

150 Text messages,

Email every 15 minutes,

3G Turned off

20 Minutes total talk time (Not even sometimes)

Windows Live Messenger online (not the whole day, just a couple hours) and maybe having a 20 minute IM conversation.

Heavy use consists off:

Music Playing

Heavy Texting (300 or more texts)

Screen on most of the time

Most use on EDGE

Browse a couple websites

Maybe some youtube on 3G

I have uninstalled Gyrator to get better life.

I have flashed many ROMs and I this is the best I can get to. How is your experiences? I'm willing to flash 6.1 or 6.5. Let me know what works for you with ROM + Radio + Rilphone combo you have. Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] veliksam:
Everything depends on the rom u have installed. Try this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=528217
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lbhocky19:
i drop about 5 pct an hour without doing anything at all
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] XERO_Racer:
did u check to see if ur rilphone.dll matches ur radio? cuz thats one possibility thats causing the rapid drops
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bedobela:
My battery lasts about 2 days if I don't use the phone heavily but I think that if you squeeze a day out of your Pro with heavy use as you mentioned, you can be glad...

Most of the smartphones use a lot of battery in case of heavy use....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mr.jaguar:
my stock battery lasts me something like 24 hours with medium use. battery life is very radio/rom/charge pattern dependant.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DJGonzo:
Right, but even with the slightest use I can only squeeze no more than 10 hrs. I tried every lots of combos with radio and ROMs. NATF 4.7 and Elite RC4 was pretty good enough but I want WM 6.5. Im gonna try the radio you have on your sig just for the heck of it and an almost empty ROM to see what I can accomplish.

Thank you everyone
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lbhocky19:
ya i made sure to match up rilphone
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] brownhornet:
Put it like this... im running Energyrom and I took my phone off the charger at 7 am EST. Right now it's 10:10 EST and I'm down to almost 65% already. That's with Beejive, Seven email with 3 accounts and about 10-15 texts. If I didnt like the rom so much I wouldve dumped it long ago but I just suffer and carry a charger with me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
Check out this program.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DJGonzo:
I know what you mean. It REALLY hurts but at least you make it thru the day. I can't. But EnergyROM is so slick and fast... I tried the Dynasty Rom its one of the best on battery I've ever had but its a little too buggy for my taste and the iPhone like home screen is not my thing.

Thanks, I'll try that
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tahdor:
I have been able to reduce the battery consumption to almost zero on stand by. But it uses 1-2% per minute on Wifi or GPS use. Infact it gets drained fater than it gets charged if GPS is used connected to car charger, with data and WiFi off.

My only gripe is that it gets drained fater than it charges on car charger when GPS is ON.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pilgrim011:
If this is light use, then I am Osama bin Laden.:p 150 messages, WLM and IM means that your display is on most of the time (while reading and replying), and display is one of the great consumers of the battery. Also, the fact that your checking email so often, and you're on internet through IM and WLM, means that you're online practically all the time. Internet is the greatest battery killer, btw. Anyway, I would recommend you to use the stock ROM because the battery lasts longer than majority of custom ROMs, and if don't want that, you shouldn't use 6.5 OS - it's a battery hog at this time. Also, lower your backlight, set in power settings "Turn off the device after 1 minute" and do a search on this forum about more battery saving tips.:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DJGonzo:
I know the brightness is a total killer. Last year I had 15 phones... My SIM card is so beat up that it looks like a dog chewed on it. I know all the battery saving tips. I just can't make it work. I do not constantly check WLM. Just once maybe a half hour but I do not IM. I just leave it on. The blackjack II lasts me a whole day from 7 to 12 with email, WLM, major texting, browsing the web and more. I'm not comparing the 2 but the battery life REALLY sucks on this thing. Stock ROM is too slow and useless for my taste. I'm flashing timlol's like-stock ROM to see. The Dynasty ROM really has good battery life but its too buggy. Man I sound so pessimistic. Lol. I still love this phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DJGonzo:
I never had that problem. I use google maps on 3G and GPS and it lasts me at least 4 hours on a full charge. You might have a radio/rilphone problem. Try flashing another radio with a matching rilphone
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pilgrim011:
You don't have to check WLM or IM all the time, it's enough that you are connected to web all the time. Blackjack II has a 2,4" display wioth 320x240 resolution, & Raphael 2,8", 480x640. HTC could've integrate bigger battery, but then our Raphael would be a fat piggy phone.:D

Btw., Timolol's ROM is pretty stable & good on battery - good choice.:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ryaske:
dont forget batteries aren't meant to be permanent. they are consumables!

After 1 year of normal usage you should notice the battery isn't quite what it used to be. after 2 years, it will seem like it needs more charges then it did before.

After 3 years and longer, IMO, its just time to replace the battery.

I replace by laptop battery every 2 years (same chemistry as my cellphone battery), and each time I am shocked and how bad the old one was.

New is always better in the case of batteries.

My next point is that HEAT is the main enemy to any battery. Keeping the phone in your pocket or hot car is worse then in a purse or on a table.

Aside from that, theres a ton of good info above about lowering the drain on the battery and therefore increasing its useful life.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DJGonzo:
Well unfortunately, I must keep my phone inside my pocket or in a case most of the time since I go to school and I do not want the teachers on my case. And looks like the rapahel likes to run a little hot and I'm really scared for my battery. But at least I have two (one from my old Fuze which only lasted me a month since i broke it :-( )

But yeah, my phone gets warm sometimes, and its with most radios. Some more than others but even with matching rilphone. Not sure what thats all about...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mrcrassic:
About half a day or so, but that's with me listening to music most of the day and EDGE with Exchange Activesync on.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jimmer411:
I used to have crazy battery drain. RRE I got 5 hours tops with 3g on and a bit of internet and texting. NRG synergy rom I got 8-10 hours in GSM mode only with 1 hour of internet and a hand ful of texts.

I just flashed my radio to 1.14.25.05 and flashed the new warhawk NRG rom and I took my phone off the charger at 945am and its currently 5pm and Ive been texting most of the day with 3g on and Im currently at 82% battery. All settings are just as they are set right out the box with a freshly flashed warhawk rom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ryaske:
Retail at&t fuze rom to the Energy ROM = amazing battery life for you? Correct me if im wrong
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DJGonzo:
Well personally, I wouldn't say "Amazing battery life." Amazing responsiveness, yes. It is a little better but all the extra stuff on there makes it worse than stock since now you got stuff more stuff to toy with :D . I use everything on the phone
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] SDreamer:
I get about 2.5 days of really light use. I use it more as a PDA than anything else. Light use is a tiny bit of web browsing (Google Reader), tiny email use, couple short calls here and there, and just checking my schedule. When I did use it a bit heavier, probably about half a day to a day. That was web browsing a lot. My usual use since I do not get many calls that are really long, I get on average about 2 days before hitting 1/10 bars of battery, could push it half a day longer if I wanted till the low batt warning. That's using the latest stock minus bloat.
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
Here is a link to a thread in the hero forum describing 2 things that some of them have been doing to "speed" up their hero's. none of this is solid facts or anything, but it couldnt hurt to give it a shot.

in their first post over in hero forum is this link to the main article about this

most of their feedback is positive

So here it goes:

1st. dont use any task killers to kill running process, as android memory managemet automatically kills unused processes.

2nd dont force phone into sleep mode ie. red key, supposedly this is forcing process into sleepmode, and causes them to lag upon wake-up, ins on tead let the phone go into standby on its own.

like i said none of this is written in stone!

Give this a shot and post back feedback.
[Touch CDMA General] plemen:
Good find! I noticed xROM slowed down after I installed a task manager - saw this thread and uninstalled it and now my phone is speedy again!
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Why would forcing apps you're not using anymore to close slow down Android?

I understand forcing it into sleep will slow it down when you wake it back up but once it wakes back up why would it be slower?
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
here this is linked in the first post of the hero thread.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Ok the task killer might be true for a real hero but we don't even have half the ram so it's very usefull for vogue-hero. I've had hero slow to a crawl and taskiller brought it to life.
[Touch CDMA General] natefish:
I like that 2nd piece of advice. I hadn't thought of that...but what if I have to put the phone in my pocket and don't want the weather app to start up and start hogging memory? I know, like you said, this isn't in stone, so there's my input, IMHO.

The first idea: Touchflo reloads if I have too many processes running...but if I use Advanced Task Killer (free market app) to kill some stuff, there is much less of a chance for a reload.

Whether these ideas work or not, I'm glad you shared that info so we have more input on how Android works differently than WinMo. Thanks for sharing.
[Touch CDMA General] natefish:
He didn't say slower, just that processes that do sleep will lag, which makes sense. This happens on WinMo, too.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
maybe our builds are slow because this is not a rom we flash, just a thought! i doubt an advanced task killer would effect any performance negatively.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Peaster111:
Folks,

While I'm sure they are out there... I haven't come across any WM6.5 themes updated for the new Builds (23030 and higher). I really like a simple all black/white theme. This is similar in design, albeit all new, to the famous PureBlack2 theme by m.carroll.

The cab is fully uninstallable and works with VGA resolutions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rola_electronics:
Okay here is the issue, I had cooked rom working just fine for several months now and few days ago it happened. One of my friends called and I pickup the call and the sound from speaker, and the mic stopped working. So I figured to hard reset, no big deal did it a million times, first wanted to sync to save all my new appointments and contacts. When I plugged the pda thru usb nothing happened, after many tries of making a connection, I gave up and tried flashing new rom. Here is the funny part I thought my usb connection was screwed up, but when I went into bootloader on the pda I was able to flash new rom from pc, usb worked fine. But after trying 6 different roms still no connection except thru bootloader, I even flashe stripped stock rom and no success. Tried 3 pc and reinstalled activesync which was weird because the pc recognized there was usb connection then all disappeared. Tried disabling Firewall, I am using WinXp SP3. Please help.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Rick#2:
Really? Don't you find it a bit choppy/jerky? It used to run perfectly smooth on my old Vogue, but I think it's due to the much higher resolution.

I am creating this thread, because it should be able to be used with any VGA Manila 2.1 device.

Originally I was posting this it 3 threads. But it belongs in it's own thread so the other threads don't get polluted.

Co0kieMonster monster has a thread that accomplishes this for Manila 2.1. Unfortunately that did not work for VGA Manila 2.1.

For WVGA Devices go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=539107

I took that work and used the tools by stzupy to decompile and make slight changes to allow it to work with VGA. Credit goes to both Co0kieMonster and stzupy.

I only claim credit for making the changes to let this be used with VGA.

But,

I did spend a reasonable amount of time on this, so if you appreciate what I've done and want to buy me a beer by donating, it is appreciated. If not, of course it's free to use. On a side note, I plan to donate to Co0kieMonster and sztupzy based on any donations I recieve for porting this to VGA, since their work made it possible for me to do this work.

To install.

Method 1, the cab.

Disable TFL3D

copy the cab to phone.

Launch the Cab

Install to device.

Enable TFL3D

Method 2, Manual

Disable TFL3D

use the reg file to make the needed registry entries ( either use a program or manually create all of them. The reg file can be opened with notepad.

Copy the 3 Manila files to your phone.

Use total commander on your phone to move these to the windows folder.

Enable TFL3D

Please post in this thread links to ROMs that appear to be using without mentioning that this came from JVH3.

I appreciate donations and being asked. And as I noted portions of donations recieved for this will go to Co0kieMonster and sztupzy. It was sztupzy's tools and Co0kieMonster's work on the WVGA device that I started with.

There is a decent amount of work in learning to decompile and compile manila lua scripts and learning what changes affect what, so it was not a trivial task, but nothing in comparison to the total port of Manila 2.1 to VGA that Yozgatg has done.

As of this edit (February 17th, 2010) I have revieved no donations for it. As donations are recieved, I will post the 5 highest donators in this post, along with the 5 most recent.

Edit

Date=July 25, 2010

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Well, I don't have enough info to know what is wrong, but I can ask these questions and give you a few things to check:

Do you have the VGA port of Manila 2.1 installed or included in your ROM?

What device?

What ROM and what date of the ROM?

This does not create the tab, it changes the existing program tab.

If you don't have a program tab, then it might just be disabled.

If you go to the Settings Tab, there is an option, Customize Tabs.

Make sure that Programs is checked.

Hope that helps
