I would suggest flashing stock rom back to device and seeing if problem does persist..If problem does persist,then may be a hardware issue....ie battery gave out...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Since you say you've gone through a couple of charge cycles already, we'll rule that out and move on. When the battery drains quickly from around halfway to empty, it is generally a sign of a dying Li ion battery. Generally, the charge will be about normal for the first 40-50%, and then deplete the remaining charge in a matter of an hour or so. This is a typical sign of a dead, or dying battery.

As Wild Child suggests, you may try flashing a stock ROM to see if it helps, but I would strongly recommend a new battery. Everyone should have one spare anyway. They aren't expensive compared to this device. Li ion batteries have an effective lifespan in mobile devices such as this of about two-three years. Do yourself a favor and don't buy the Chinese knock-off batteries. Yes, they are cheaper, but they will die much more quickly.

Good luck.

I am having a real weird issue with the latest rom. For some reason, it hangs and got stuck while pulling emails. it used to work but over the last few days it will hang on the connecting . I always need to use taskmanager to kill the email and then try to send/receive again and it will then work.

I have reflashed the rom but still no fix. Really weird because it worked like really good for the first few days but then suddenly it has this issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] awalt:
I am having the same problem last few days! It;s hung on logging in. You using Gmail? That's what I use. Plus it sucks the battery down to 0 in about 5 hours. Must be constantly retrying or something. I even had it on USB charge for about 2 hours and it only got back up to 12%, I had to turn the phone off to get it charging faster...

EDIT: I also did a soft reset a couple of times to see if that helped, and it did not. I have turned off auto-updating of email to see if it stops the battery drain or is something else locked in retries forever too. AND, my battery is only about 4 months old.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] PUTALE:
exactly like what I have experienced. I have 3 email accounts, two gmail and one yahoo. Not sure which one is the one that's causing the problem. It does keep trying because the phone gets hot and the battery drains fast (I used to get like over 24 hours of battery but now it can be just a few hours). BTW, I am on wifi when I test it.

It's odd because it worked very well but suddenly it has issue. I wonder if this is the mail server or the phone itself.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monomer888:
I would agree with the suggestions you've already been given. I can't comment on the battery life of the very latest Energy ROM, as I'm still using a 29020 build from April. Of the Energy ROMs I've used though, and from feedback I've read in this thread, I would agree that the more recent ones have been the lightest on battery use I've seen.

If you can, secure a secondary (preferably trustworthy) battery. If the secondary battery does not exhibit the same discharge pattern as your current one, then it's likely to be a fault in your current battery and not the ROM itself (or the programs/set up you have on the ROM).

EDIT: Having said that, it seems some others in the three posts above mine have an issue with email syncing which may be responsible for battery drain!

For the big day: good idea to have alternative power (get a second battery, bring a charger etc), or an alternative phone just in case.

On the (slightly off-topic) subject of TP2 batteries, the general consensus seems to be that the OEM batteries tend to have closer to the stated capacity than aftermarket ones. Check out this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583927

Dutch Reference ROM

I installed the latest Dutch Reference ROM (Mar.15) a couple of days ago, and I have a couple of remarks:

on the plus side

-after one year I can play mp4 files with audio again!

-utask is a huge improvement

on the minus side

-there seems to be a problem with the

htc music player

- the music database stops expanding when it reaches a size of 320kB. i'm trying to figure out why, but replacing the 320kB file with my old database file didn't work

-there is no locale installed for the

utask

configuration ("x-button settings" in start menu), so all options in the config menu are "< no translation >". I made a translation that can be used for future ROMs (see attachment below). Current Dutch users can place the unzipped file in the Windows directory on their device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] diekee:
I've also translated the Quickshutdown config file into Dutch.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] awalt:
Last night I did a Task29/flash of May 14 ROM (I was on Apr 29). I also put in a second battery (both are original HTC batteries). I have not seen the quick drain today, but the Mail clienbt works the same. It connects, logs on, gets mail fine. Hangs on disconnect forever. Only way out is to kill the process. Once that is done, it will connect, get mail, and then hang on disconnect again. Not sure what is going on..

Alarm doesn't go off

Hello... your rom is wonderful. I've been using it for more than one year. Congratulations for a work well done.

Sadly, I have been having a problem since yesterday I cooked the newest version of 14th May for my Rhodium.

My alarms doesn't go off at the indicated time. The phone doesn't need to be locked or with the screen turned off for this to happen. I can even see the established time pass and the alarm indicator in sense go from 3.15 (for example) to Alarm off. It happens with g-alarm and also with the stock alarms.

Later the alarm will go off, for example 10 minutes later.

This never happened with the old rom version.

¿Can anybody help me? Thank you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BigWopHH:
I'm having a similar issue here with the May 14 ROM. Sometimes e-mail will work fine, other times it hangs on "Connecting" and eventually fails. I have to power down the phone and restart to get it working again, but even then it may only work once or twice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] awalt:
I have found you can get it working again by pressing and holding the key that brings up the phone (lower left), which brings up Task Manager, then end the process. Then when you go to Send/Receive messages, since it runs the program new, it works fine for one time.

I am interested to see if starting the work week maybe a network or mail problem fixes this. I suspect it's not the ROM but I am not sure. I do not know really where to turn for this kind of problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
If you guys are using Google or Hotmail accounts, you should change them to exchange accounts on your device. Push mail is FAR less harsh on battery life than POP and IMAP accounts.

If you aren't sure how to set it up through ActiveSync, the settings are below:

Username - your@email.com

Password - your password

Domain - (leave blank)

Server - m.google.com -OR- m.hotmail.com

Check the box that says "This server requires an encrypted (SSL) connection."

I haven't used the Hotmail one, but I know on the Google one, you should NOT set it to sync tasks. It will fail almost every time.

Push mail uses less battery life than Pull mail (POP & IMAP). The device doesn't have to connect to check for new mail every so often. New mail will be sent to the device to download when it is ready. This is more efficient in that you won't have to worry about it connecting to see nothing new in your inbox.

If you need more help in this matter, please PM me about it, since it is slightly off topic.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Puff1911:
This works great with any account that is powered by Google... not just the gmail.com accounts.. but any account that is hosted by Google..

I've never tried it with Hotmail.. but i'm not sure if you can have more than one exchange account on your device..

I have my company account (Hosted by Google) setup through Activesync/Exchange and Hotmail setup through regular Windows Live features..

Works well enough.. but if I could get them both to pull through Activesync/Exchange.. that would be way better!

Problems using Palringo

Hey guys,

I have a problem using Palringo on this ROM.

Installed version: 29020 from 14th May

After pushing "menue button" and e.g. Settings, the system hangs up completely. Soft reset necessary.

Also it's not possible, to kill a running Palringo with ArkSwitch, right?

Thanks and bye,

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rcgators:
CFB is there a trick out there for setting up multiple exchange accounts? I use exchange for my work account and haven't seen a way to setup more than one. Thus Gmail is forced to use IMAP.

I always setup my email accounts using an automatic script in XDAUC. Manually setting it up today trying to resovle this, I no longer see the sync settings such as how many weeks of email to keep on the phone. Was this moved or am I going blind? I can always import it again but wondering where this option went.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] PUTALE:
yes, I think activesync avoid the problem with gmail. However, it only let you setup one account and I have like 2 gmail accounts, which sucks a bit.

I guess a way to get around the issue is forward the mails. but I prefer to keep them separate.

It's weird because it always worked but only recently it starts to have issue. not sure what is google doing with the gmail.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monomer888:
I had a random problem when I played around a bit with palringo version cooked into the April 26 29020 ROM. I haven't really been trying to recreate the problem so I can't be specific about what happened. After using Palringo a while, I noticed that the labels on the software keyboard selection menu for "Full QWERTY" and "Compact QWERTY" became "...". A soft reset fixed it. I've not had Palringo cause a hang though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] awalt:
I plan to try the push solution CajunBob mentioned for Gmail. I assume this works anywhere, even though it is set up with ActiveSync? How does ActiveSync make the push occur from Gmail's servers?

As an added piece of data, the battery usage is wild right now. I turned off Gmail from automatic download, and my phone was fine. But I got a couple of text messages, and from that point on tmail.exe was using 98% of the CPU constantly - even after the text messages were deleted. Is tmail the text message program?

The phone got hot, and the phone used about 25% of the battery in an hour! Something is really different with the phone now, I am not sure it's just a Gmail problem but I am not sure.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monomer888:
Are you asking how Google is able to use Exchange ActiveSync? In 2009, Microsoft agreed to make Google a licensee under their Exchange ActiveSync Licensing Program, so as well as POP3 and IMAP, we also have an activesync option.

As far as I know, Windows Mobile only supports one Exchange Activesync account natively. I would guess this has something to do with the other enterprise-level security features that Exchange servers can optionally push to the device (like enforcement of a PIN-lock, device encryption and remote wipe).

Yes, tmail.exe is responsible for both the messaging and the email components. Something is wrong if tmail is burning up cpu cycles like that. :eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
rcgators mentioned two links to the issues plaguing the IMAP sync of gmail accounts. This has been confirmed as an issue since the evening of 19 May 2011. It began around 5 or 6 PM Eastern time as most sources will indicate. The cause is not certain, and Google has not responded to questions about the matter. My best guess is that someone in charge of the IMAP implementation was raptured a bit early.

Anywho, as far as syncing multiple Exchange accounts, this is possible through a registry edit. Be warned that this will cross pollinate the accounts using the device as a conduit. If that doesn't matter, then proceed.

Using your favorite registry editor, navigate to the following string and make the noted change and soft reset:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\
"EnableNonLocalCrossPollination=1"

Note that the indicated key may or may not exist. If it does not, simply add it.

Make this change and set up the other account with Sense turned off. This should allow you to sync with two exchange accounts at once. Sense will likely not display more than one, however. I am currently experimenting with a "different" method of syncing that I recently came across. I'm not trying to advertise here, but the system is called Funambol. Google it if you're interested. This concludes the feature presentation.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monomer888:
Thanks, CFB, I forgot about this tweak (too much time with Android)! I've only seen this mentioned for synchronising two different Exchange accounts, one via Exchange Activesync, and the other via Desktop Activesync through a cable to a PC. I'm not entirely sure it can be used for two separate over-the-air remote Exchange Activesync links (which I assume most people who currently use IMAP/POP and Exchange would likely find more useful?).

More info of the limitations in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=645316

Thanks also to the research by rcgators, we now know it's unlikely to be a ROM issue. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Well, I have no use for it, so I've never tested it, but ActiveSync should treat the OTA accounts the same as the wired ones. There isn't any differentiation that I am aware of between the two of them. The program recognizes them as being (essentially) the same thing. You should already be able to sync one exchange account OTA and one PC not associated with that account without the need for this registry tweak.

Potential GMail E-Mail Hang Fix

I'm not sure if this will work for everyone--the results seem to be mixed in the Google forums, but all I did was go into my account settings for my Gmail account and change the incoming e-mail server addy from imap.gmail.com to pop.gmail.com and everything's working OK for me now, for the past few hours at least.

I can't seem to find the latest Reference builds. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Also, I've noticed that when using the stock MMS client on the Apr23 and Mar01 builds, when you go to add a picture, the folder icons and camera icons etc are missing. This means its a case of tap a square and hope you get the right one for where you want to navigate too. Has anyone else seen this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
This is true, but POP mail is so darn inconvenient. IMAP is the way to go. It's just a shame that Google keeps changing it's format to suit its own needs, uncaring of anything other than Android devices using it. You can't even sync contacts from gmail's exchange servers anymore. They come in with the information all mixed up. I suppose if I were a Windows user, I could simply use Hotmail/Outlook instead, but then I would need to boot out of Ubuntu, and I'm just not willing to do that. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] billybag:

Re: Extended Battery?

I'm not sure it's good advice. I bought 3 Tilt 2's so far and one came with an extended battery. The TP2/Tilt 2 is already thick & heavy & this puts it overboard IMO. I prefer carrying the regular one & a regular spare battery if needed that day. Not mentioning that you also need to buy a back cover to fit the big battery. It adds the equivalent of the sliding part with the screen to the normal thickness. Here is a photo of my two Tilt 2's side-by-side:

Joe, batteries have nothing to do with Energy ROMs, there is an accessories forum for the Rhodium that you could utilize to share your opinions on battery sizes.

Time zone issue dutch reference recurrent apoint

I was glad to see the dutch reference rom was back.

I tried it immediately.

But something goes wrong with the calendar.

I installed the 2920 and the 21916 May15th.

I use active sync server to sync my work calendar (2 way sync).

To sync my private calendar from google I use syncmycall program (download only).

That way I can see both calendars on my TP2 without my private calendar being synced to my work calendar. Appointments created on the TP2 will be synced to my work calendar.

All things went ok till now.

In both version recurrent appointments I downloaded with syncmycall from google seem not to follow the correct time zone.

Begin and end time seem to shift 4 hours later in the day.

With non-recurrent appointments there doesn't seem to be a problem.

When I install the english reference rom (2920 May 14th), no problem.

I only have the problem in the dutch rom.

Any ideas?

Regional settings are correct, time zone is correct.
