When I first got my TP2 the battery life was great. Then I started adding tons of applications and tweaks and then suddenly one day the battery started to go crazy, it would drain in under 4 hours, with absolutely nothing running.

I started trying to track down the culprit. One thing I noticed right away is that my data connection would come on randomly. I'd shut it down, then a little while later is was on again. I turned off all the automatic updates I could think if (email, weather, stock, Windows update). With data, BT, wifi all turned off, screen off, nothing running, the battery would get hot and every minute would lose a few more percent. The phone was at this point basically useless. Because task manager showed nothing running I figured the battery had gone bad, or horrors, some fault maybe in the TP2. I took it to TMobile and got a replacement.

On my new phone, battery life seemed OK again. So, I did my Resco restore but it didn't work because I had password protection on the phone when I did the backup (not the TMobile password, but the one before that you get during boot up), so on restore it wouldn't let me into the phone saying the password was invalid (apparently something I should have known. grrr, bad Resco!).

So, I manually reinstalled everything again, not thinking to do it one piece at a time because I thought my battery troubles were over. I was wrong. Once it was all loaded up again, the exact same battery sucking began, and the data connection coming on again.

One thing I had noticed is that if I turned off TF3D I could see the icon for ESET virus protection running (it doesn't show in task manager). I knew I'd installed it, but because the TouchFlo screen hid the icon I'd forgotten about it. So, I went to that and clicked 'update' wondering if it was automatically checking for updates and so accessing the internet. But 'update' just gave an error message. So I figured the anti-virus wasn't going to be much use to me until updates were working, so uninstalled the application. BAM! (c) Emeril, battery problems ended!

I did a little googling and saw a couple of other references to ESET and battery drain on other phones, so I think that's been the problem. I don't know if the problem was the software itself draining the battery in its normal state, or if it was maybe constantly trying to make an internet connection to check for updates (but because that feature wasn't working it just kept trying).

I'd like to point out that I am in no way maligning ESET, it's totally my fault: 1) they do not yet claim compatibility for the TP2 ( http://www.eset.com/products/mobileantivirus.php ), and 2) I picked up the .cab from a link from one of the phone forums (not sure where or how any more, I have loaded up so much stuff), not from the ESET web site, so I could well have an older or bad version. I thought the software was freeware, but looking on the site I see it's just a free 30 day trial, so it's quite possible I had a cracked version. Their official version may well work with no problems.

But I did want to post this warning in case anyone else runs into battery drain issues.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] purple8:
Hi Iam an official reseller for the Eset antivirus. Just installed a version on my phone, will report back if drains my battery. How quick did it drain. If any probs i will report back to eset, to get sorted. Could just be the patched version. Funny enough the very firts pc version i got was a pirated version. Liked it so much much i thought sod it and paid for it.

Let me know if you wish to purchase it I can do a bit of a forum discount for you. same goes for pc version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] greatbrit:
Hi, thanks for helping to try to get this resolved. The software ran very fast and I think could become a valuable addition once the WM6 viruses become more prominent.

The drain was *rapid* :) I'd say from 100 to 0 in about 3 hours, so if you do have the same problem, you should know right away. Also, the battery got warm to extremely warm, I might even say hot to the point that it was getting uncomfortable to hold. That certainly leads me to believe there were possibly two problems. One being that the software was for some reason maybe running aggressively in the background. The other that it appears to have been trying to connect to the internet every so often. I'm not sure exactly how often, it seemed somewhat random, but I'd say at least every 15 minutes (I would keep turning off the data connection whenever I saw it running). So I don't know if these are one and the same problem (that the software was trying to update and that was the code that was going out of control). Now that I have the phone working well again, I can have the data on constantly without anywhere near the drain I was experiencing, so the data alone was probably only a minor part of the issue.

When I tried to 'update' I got an error (I can't remember what it said). Is this still the case with the current version? If not then I can assume I have an old version and maybe the battery issue is gone now.

If you like I'd be willing to dl the 30 day trial and see what the latest version does.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] purple8:
Several hours later no battery drain. The software should only update itself 1 a week by default and at most every 3 days if set. Download the trial give a whirl. PM me if you want to buy and I can get a cuople of quid off, same goes for pc based one. This is extended to anyone else aslo.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Scalage:
Don't use any antivirus program on your phone. I've tried several antivirus trials on several htc phones (s620, s710, touch pro) and they all showed extreme battery drain. Since then I've stood clear of any antivirus program on my phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] purple8:
Well nearly 24hrs later and no significant bettery drain. I even ran a couple of scans. There is no reason why an antivirus should drain a battery, otherwise no one would have them on laprops either. It was probably down to the pirated version you had.

Let me know if you have any probs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Scalage:
I never used a pirated one, I only used trials (that's why I tried so many :)).

Maybe it's a different story these days, might have to try one again some time...

Is there a way to disable the stock slide to answer feature? I personally prefer to use the phone buttons instead of the slide. I notice it has a lag when answering with the slide.

Also is there a way to get the 3G working? Someone had posted a link on a previous thread I posted and I read through all the topics, but nothing was related to the 3G.

Thanks in advance
[Touch HD General] D'rath:
Fast and simpler way:

install "HDTweaks 0.54" -> 1.8 "Phone Skin" -> select: "Win Mo Default"

For 3G:

Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> 4th tab and select right option for you

Hello everyone,

I just booted up my Hero, and I noticed more than 6 dead pixels.

I used these unstuck applications but didn't seem to work...

They only appear when in black, so they ain't that big of an issue but do you think I should send it for repair?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kadison:
Definitely.

I'd send back a 1920x1200 PC screen for less than 6 faulty pixels... it's completely unacceptable for a 320x480 screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
Dead pixels won't show on a black screen. I'm assuming you mean possibly hot pixels on the boot screen. They're probably specks of dust.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=554288
[Hero, G2 Touch General] commodoor:
I agree with Switchbitch dead pixels will always been seen the color will be always wrong and not only when its black. still its intresting how dust get up there.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ZenorGR:
Well no, they appear after boot screen, too. For example in Market/Settings or wherever black color is.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] commodoor:
What color does the dead pixel show is it red??
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ZenorGR:
Yeah I think so. I just tried to shake the phone and it seems that they are gone or whatever. But now I can clearly see a dust piece which is white. So I suppose the gap does exist at least in my phone.

Not annoying but oh well... if it gets filled with them I would need to send it for repair.

Does warranty fill these kind of issues?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Nummie:
I might have the same problem but it is no dust or hot pixel but the space between pixels.

It seems to me the film layer wasn't cut properly in the factory with the result that backlight shines between the dark pixels.

It isn't dust because there is no sidelight to light up dust and the spots are shining very bright white so the light definately comes from the back.

Furthermore my screen fits fine into the casing.

Maybe it is because I always have the brightness at full I notice it more than others. When I run Spark in classic mode or Draw! you get a complely black screen to test it... a pixel-test program is an option also.

I noticed it in the beginning when 3 positive-dead pixels where so very small they could not be hot pixels. Now, one month after the begin of use it has grown to about 9 of them but they are so very very small that I am not going to make a hassle about it.

Anyone have any experience with a working VPN client freeware or not on the TP2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ender519:
Google is your friend..

http://www.google.com/search?client...reeware+windows+mobile+vpn&btnG=Google+Search
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lennier:
Google is indeed one's friend, and I expect the OP has done many searches exactly like the one above, as I have.

However if you go beyond looking at the google headlines you soon discover that none of these solutions is in fact freeware, as he had requested.

So far I've spent many many hours trying to find a decent winmo IPSec client, free or reasonably priced, and my conclusion so far is that there isn't one. None I can find are free, and the ones that don't cost ridiculous money all have serious functional issues and/or stupid design decisions like requiring you to run their PC version to be able to create security profiles for the mobile one.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lennier:
Actually I see the OP in fact asked for free or otherwise, but they also asked if people had experience with such things, not just were they around.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
What about

http://www.zeroshell.net/eng/openvpn-client/#OpenVPN-Windows-Mobile
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] godefroi:
OpenVPN is extremely nice, but it only works against OpenVPN servers. If you're trying to do IPsec VPN, OpenVPN won't help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dezoris:
I have done a google search but the results are so generic. I figured people using some of the best WinMo phones would have tried some of these.

I tried searching XDA but did not really come up with anything.

Open VPN probably will not work for me unfortunately.

I need something compatible with cisco.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fraser:
There are numerous kinds of ipsec, you'd need to tell us which ones your cisco device supports. I've used the openvpn client on the tp2 to some success.

This page has always had the most info in ipsec, I recommend checking some of the various guides on it.

http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/openswan-l2tp.html#No_MSCHAP

Here's a quote from it:

I think it's relatively easy to connect to Windows based VPN servers running MS software but I'm not so sure how well it fares with Cisco kit. I'd be surprised if the cisco box didn't support the l2tp protocol, I think it's very common. I believe the incompatibilities come about from the authentication part, which is what the MS-CHAP support mentioned above refers to. Further down the linked page it mentions Cisco kit.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rdleeuw:
I use the Bluefire Security Technologies Mobile Security VPN 2.7.5.706 .

However it seems Bluefire is out of business...

But it works perfectly for establishing VPN connections to Cisco routers and PIX/ASA's, even with token authentication.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] evilged:
Previously I used the Bluefire client for a few years and it was the only reliable one for Cisco concentrators, but as you said they have gone out of business now.

Also recently I've found I can't get the Bluefire client to work with some of the newer roms I've flashed (NRG etc.), perhaps changes in the newer winmo network stack or something.

I have tried the others and they are expensive and to be honest too much hassle to set up and have lousy error reporting to work out what you did wrong, I've wasted days, literally.

If you have the newer Cisco VPN kit they have dropped IPSec and gone for SSL VPN instead and do their own client for Windows Mobile which is OK.

I give it a try,

Looks ok, one litle thing: the scrollbars dont seem ok. i wanted to change my ringtones and noticed the scrollbar "thing". It seems that there is something on the top and the bottom but cant scroll fully down (i will make a pic if necesary)

more feedback is comming ;)

Tipp: include a taskbaricon-set and de 1% batery-cab (would be amazing when this will bi in your next rom :))

EDIT:

Just wanted to set up my exchange connection over Mobile device center and got error 0x85020006 - Cannot connect with current connection settings.

i was able to set up the exchange settings on the phone and then the error disapeard (in case you have the same error)

now it works like a charm.

EDIT-2:

Bug?

after every restart i have to trun on data connection manually (needed for Exchange sync)

Button 3G (Change to Auto mode) don't work (no interaction possible)

except of these litle things the rom is top and exactly what ive looking for. (very fast and stable)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DarkHorse:
the 1% battery cab usually drains a little more battery...it's funny but that's it... so I'm happy to NOT have it in your rom...

Just noticed a strange battery percentage:

3. change to the right layout under Input

To change hardwarelayout special key's

1. open a registry editor

2. browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles]

3. change "07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt" to "07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.807.kmap.txt" (standard country code) files are already in windows folder

To change qwerty to qwertz

1. install Keys remapper ( here)

2. Start -> Settings -> System ->Keyboard Config

3. Menu -> add key -> press y -> Action -> Emulate key press -> z -> ok

Screen/display problem in landscape mode

Hi all,

First thanks for your very great rom, very fast and useable:-).

I just have a problem with the display/screen in landscape mode. Every time, I put the tp2 in landscape mode (with gsensor or with the keyboard) the display bugs (sorry for my bad english, I'm french). The background become smaller (screen is divided into two parts, the bottom part become black) and I can see the top and bottom bars (I can use them). Apparently it's just a graphic problem because I can use the touch flo as if I forget the display problem.
