I stream video via 3G and wifi on occasion, and haven't had to stop do to warmth. It's not as if the device is going to burst into flames if you don't immediately stop what you're doing or anything, but prolonged heat will certainly reduce the life of the battery. Heat weakens the bonds of lithium ions over time. Once the bond becomes weakened, you can't fully strengthen it again. Under normal use, you can generally expect about two to three years of use in your phones battery before the capacity drops below 70% or so.

There isn't really a certain temperature or anything. Just be wary of how much time the device remains at a "warm-to-the-touch" temperature. Removing the battery cover is a good way to cool it off quickly. Just keep an eye on it. I don't really monitor the battery temperature at all. I use a couple of extra batteries to make sure I'm able to continue working all day long.

EDIT: I was just sent this ringtone. I find it hilarious and figured I would share. I'm sure most of you guys will recognize it after about 15 seconds when the chorus begins if you don't recognize the title of it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
Same here, I don't monitor battery temperature and use the "warm-to-the-touch" guesstimate. :p

Edit: "I was just sent this ringtone: Let's Fighting Love.mp3.zip" - Yuck! I use the cooked-in Ring-OldPhone. Makes me standout in a crowd of tutti quanti ringtones IMO. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jakfish:
I'm attaching an arcane ring only known to PBS/Masterpiece Theater watchers. Have any of you seen the Wallander detective series, with Kenneth Brannagh playing a down-and-out Swedish detective? Part of the show is his utter demoralization about life's futility and the soundtrack makers wrote a custom ring for his cel to show his hopelessness. Calls never bring good news for Wallander.

I'm not certain the ringtone pulls off all that drama, but I use it and smile when someone calls, remember the good episodes, and I'm waiting for the day that someone recognizes it.

micropERROR

Good Morning,

I have been using the energy roms for about a year now, I dont post a lot but I love the work that NRG does. Yesterday I experienced what I thought was a BSOD but when I opened the phone and closed it the screen popped back on. This happened a few times so I restarted the phone, then I got a popup that says "micropERROR 0" and says that i need to update the firmware. I initially thought i had a bad flash so I task29 and reflashed the feb.27.6.5.x sencity rom. and it happened again. I reflashedthe rom again this time without my sim card and MicroSD declined the XDA_UC and still got the same error. whenever this happens my screen doesnt turn on but everything else works. I decided to flash the Feb.1.6.5.x sencity rom and still got the same error when I didnt get it when I first flashed the rom. I believe ive described my problem to the best of my knowledge...any help? ( and yes ive searched but nothing helped)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] hefman:
I believe that is related to a hardware problem with your touchscreen. Here is a thread you should check out for a possible solution. Unfortunately, you may need to have it replaced (hopefully, it's under warranty -- don't forget to flash the stock rom before returning).

Let us know how you make out.

BattClock / Performance / CPU usage / settings adjustment.

I'm not sure which of the following 3 items in BattClock was sucking the CPU, but I now have it using 0.00% after removing the following:

free memory

cpu usage

battery current mA

I had been noticing that when running BattClock, my phone has seemed sluggish. Not always hugely noticable, but often enough that it was starting to bug me.

Figured anything that is running at almost 1% CPU cannot be good for battery or performance.

To attempt to get around any performance issues, I decided to over clock to 710 Mhz. Normally, I never felt a need to over clock.

Even this did not solve the new sluggishness.

But, after adjusting the BattClock settings to no longer monitor those 3 items, I am not having the sluggishness and CPU usage for the battclock.exe process is staying at 0.00%.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I can't say for certain, but I've been using Battclock for several months now and haven't had the same sluggishness. I monitor CPU%, Free RAM%, Remaining Battery%, and wifi signal strength. The only thing different between what you listed an mine is the battery current monitor.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
I am seeing that the CPU% and battery current are what causes the CPU usage for battclock.exe to stay at 0.65 or higher.

When I don't have either of those being monitored, I am seeing the battclock.exe cpu stay at 0.00%.

I left battery mA off and left the CPU% on and still saw that battclock would consume 0.65 %.

In anycase, I don't really need to know my CPU usage at any instant. It is constantly changing, so it isn't that important. Same thing with battery mA.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jakfish:
With battclock, I monitor CPU frequency, batt temperature, free RAM, in that order, I don't see a drop-off in performance. I'm getting 0.0% in Task Monitor.

Anybody know what's different in 2/28? If we aren't going to get a changelog, can anybody speak as to stability and battery life?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
We don't know what changed, but when you don't see a change log, just consider it to be minor changes. NRGZ28 always lets us know when the updates are major. You generally don't notice the changes anyway. I skipped this one, as I did not notice anything new or worth flashing.

The battery life is the same as usual. Nothing changed to make it unstable, or there would likely have been comments already to that affect. It's pretty much the same as the last ROM batch.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I keep the CPU meter on there because I'm able to see it as the equivalent of a HDD activity light on my computer. As long as I see some movement, I know the device hasn't frozen yet. I've never had any stability or performance issues with it. I think I started using BattClock back in September or October or something. It's been very reliable since the day I installed it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] blognc:
Thanks for the info. I'm on the previous, mid-February ROM. It doesn't seem like there's any overriding reason to update, so I guess I'll wait a little longer. I usually update when there seems like a really good change, or my phone starts getting unstable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Are you using Task Manager at Start->Tools->task manager to see that the process battclock.exe is 0.00% ?

Or are you using something else to monitor that? I only ask because you are only showing 1 decimal, but task manager in Start->Tools will show 2 places after the decimal.

If you could post a screen capture showing that task manager showing the process battclock.exe and also export your reg settings at:

[HKCU\Software\ZuinigeRijder]

and post them.

Then I can apply them to my phone and others can apply them to their phone and hopefully not see it constantly using CPU. And we will be sure that we have an Apples to Apples comparison.

I've currently trimmed mine down to just memory and date and the bar above for battery and I am still seeing it consistently use 0.65.

I'm heading out for the night and won't be checking back until tomorrow. If I test anymore on this, I'll start posting in that thread. Thinking there probably has been enough in this one on it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
Re: BattClock CPU Usage

IMO you should post in the BattClock thread. The author is very active in the thread, test all bugs reported, updates his app with suggestions and even makes special custom app versions for troubleshooting with individual support. And then you could report back here with the author's comments.

Edit: I made this post: BattClock CPU Usage? in the BattClock thread that includes some quotes of your posts and I attached a rar to that message that contains: battclock.csv (logged CPU usage idling, w/o SIM nor WiFi or BT, plugged, display not dimming nor phone going to sleep), BattClock.reg.txt (exported my BattConfig settings), ZuinigeRijder.reg (export of registry key of BattClock) and BattClock.xml for good measure to help the author for analyzing the question.

Yes the CPU usage fluctuates between 1.25 (rarely 1.68%) to 0.00% as reported by Start->Tools->Task manager. I guess it's depending on it refreshing the data shown on the Taskbar that you selected. I can't notice any UI fluidity impact vs. killing BattClock with said Task Manger or Winstart.

I took a bunch of screen captures of the BattClock CPU usage according to the cooked-in NRG ROM Feb.27 Task Manager v3.1 within a few minutes, cropped & pasted them together (time consuming!):

Like Jake & cajunflavoredbob, BattClock is running fine on my Tilt 2 w/ Feb.27 and I like to see CPU% as it shows me when rebooting is complete when it goes down below 10% for example. I'll wait before launching an other app if it's near 100% CPU usage, etc.

Free memory tells me if I forgot to close some programs or if it's time to reboot to clean up the RAM memory if it's @ 50 MB or lower.

Battery current in mA tells me if I am consuming a lot of power & If I forgot to close Data connection or WiFi for example. Reducing that Current consumption w/ brightness, etc extends noticeably battery life.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mmalka:
I know things have been slow here, but IMHO I don't think this should turn into an application thread. There are other threads in XDA to discuss apps.

I am sorry if someone will get upset with my post - that was not my intent. It is just a suggestion that we go back to the original topic, which is EnergyROM for the Rhodium in case we forgot. :)

Re: Taskmanager v3.1 CPU Usage Data? - v3.3 Update

OK, this is on topic: what does NRG ROM Feb.27 cooked-in Start->Tools->Task Manager v3.1 > CPU usage reports exactly?

In this screen capture, on the Taskbar BattClock reports 22* which is 22% CPU usage but Task Manager reports 83.19 + 14.85 + 1.07 + 0.49 + 0.39 for the 5 top processes for a total of: 99.99 and since my phone is at idle it's NOT running the CPU @ 99.99% so what does the 1.07 for BattClock means exactly? :confused: Is it 1.07% of the current 22% CPU usage?

Most of the time if I open TaskManager after rebooting, that Task Manager app is freezing & I have to click on Cancel to get it going.

The third image is the updated Task Manager v3.3 CAB (13 Apr 2010) that I just installed over v3.1 (June ‎22, ‎2008 :eek:) as you can't uninstall it as it's cooked-in the NRG ROM Feb.27. Restart the phone to set the link to the new version in Start->Tools->Task Manager. To revert to NRG's v3.1: Home > Slider to Settings > Application > Remove programs > FdcSoft TaskMgr. No more freezing w/ Feb.27 & v3.3 and some extra features like graphs, etc. in the new version. :)

Edit: Task Manager v3.3 is already cooked-in the current NRG ROMs but just missing a shortcut to it, thanks to osiedacz for the tip. See this post with a cab to install the shortcut: Task Manager v3.3 is Cooked-in?

Heck, there is even a Changelog! ;)

Re: Taskmanager v3.1 CPU Usage Data?

That's why I posted in his thread. Since Dotfred is the author of the NRG cooked-in Task Manager v3.1, maybe he could answer what the CPU usage data means. BTW check the edit in my previous post for link to the Task Manager v3.3 update & added screen capture.

WiFi

Hi, I'm using the latest version and my wifi keeps turning on by itself, even after i turned it off. Can anyone help?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] NRGZ28:
This is in the ROMs from now on. Thank you for fixing it! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ZuinigeRijder:
BattClock uses a Microsoft API GetIdleTime() to get the CPU%.

DWORD dwStopTick = GetTickCount();
DWORD dwIdleEd = GetIdleTime();
DWORD delta = dwStopTick - dwStartTick;
if (delta > 0) { // avoid divide by zero
int percentBusy = 100 - ((100 * (dwIdleEd - dwIdleStart)) / delta);
....

This is different that Task Managers do. They count the CPU% per process. So which is more accurate, I do not know. What I do know, however, someone found out that for his use case a TaskManager did report less CPU% than BattClock did. It turned out this had to do with Sense interface to find constantly music on the SDCard, consuming extra CPU and draining battery. Luckily he could find the problem and resolve it. Without the BattClock CPU% method he would not have found out.

Some Samsung (Omnia) users have reported that BattClock method did not work on their devices. There constantly a high CPU% is reported. I do not know if there is a monitor process which consumes the IDLE time, to also find the used CPU%. Because that is another method. Make a Thread with the lowest priority and measure the CPU% that thread gets. Then you know how much the rest is using. But this affects the Microsoft API of measuring idle time.

So, shortly, I think both CPU values are useful, from BattClock and detail CPU percentages in Task Managers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] osiedacz:
FYI, the v3.3 of dotfred's task manager is actually already cooked in the rom, it just doesn't have a shortcut. If you look for it in the windows folder, you can make a link to it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mmalka:
Great! Did you consider cooking in the free version of Winstart?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
What CPU percentage means

CPU percent is not the amount of the CPU that is used. When the CPU is in use, it is 100% in use.

The percentage is the percent of time it is in use.

idle process is the percent of time when no process is using the CPU.

The reason that it does not add up to exactly 100% is because of rounding differences. The 0.00% are not absolutely 0% time to infinite precision. They might be 0.0004% or 0.0005%. In the other case where the percentage adds up larger is that 18.56% might actually be 18.556% which would round up.

The 22 in this case from battclock is the total of all processes, except idle process, since that is not really a process. 22 is an indicator of the percentage of time all the processes are using the CPU. 2 ways to calculate. It is either the total of all processes or 100% minus idle process. idle process is not a real process, but just an indicator of the percentage of time the CPU is not processing anything.

But, the important parts of this post is to know that it is the perrcent of time that the process is using the CPU. Not the percentage of the CPU being used. And idle process is the percentage of time the other listed processes are not using the CPU.

Re: Task Manager v3.3 is Cooked-in?

Could you give more details on how to do it? :confused:

Edit: Found it! For the NRG ROM Feb.27 cooked-in dotfred's Task Manager v3.3 search Windows for TaskMgr3.exe w/ Total Commander and create a shortcut with TC.

Edit #2: I just cabbed the v3.3 shortcut for convenience: Download & copy TaskMgr3_Shortcut_JB.cab to your memory card & run from there with Total Commander or File Explorer to add a Task Manager v3.3 shortcut in > Start > Tools as shown above.

Hey Guys! Quick question.. I installed Energy on my phone (Fuze P4600) about 5 months ago. This morning, my phone stated going crazy. A popup comes up and says something about the PTT and not having the memory, etc.. I got it to reset back to original settings (day 1 of the first install of Energy). Didn't help. Still doing it. So I'm thinking its something to do with the actual button. I even tried pulling on it and pushing it a few times. No change.

Since I never use the PTT, is there a version of Energy that has this feature removed? Also, how do I remove the quick links for Facebook and Twitter?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
To create a shortcut, just use TotalCommander to navigate to the file.

Then select the file. (This is kind of slow in the windows folder.) Use the scroll bar on the right to pull it down so the file is on the screen, then run your thumb or finger over the slider to select a file without opening it.

Then select File

Of that menu, select >>>>>

then select Create shortcut.

Then press the tree button.

Then navigate and select \Windows\Start Menu\Programs

I will attach the lnk fie that can be copied to \XDA_UC\Sense\Start Menu\Programs.

or

\XDA_UC\Sense\Start Menu\Programs\Tools

Then the shortcut will be available on the next flash.

Installing the cab will put the exe at: Program Files\FdcSoft\TaskMgr

It is already cooked into the folder: Windows

So, you would have the program in 2 locations which consumes extra space. It is only 380KB, but creating a shortcut is pretty easy.

Side Note: In September of 2010, I had downloaded version 3.3 because there was discussion about it. Not sure where I read it, Leo, Rhodium, or Raph, or just searching. I had forgotten about it until I was prompted to see if I wanted to overwrite it when downloading it today. Today I wanted the cab, just so I could confirm that it did no install to the Windows folder.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jakfish:
Speaking of Total Commander, where is its *.ini file, if it does have one?

I'd like to back up my FTP/LAN settings, but can't find the file where these specs are stored.

Reinstall Windows Mobile Device Center fixed issue with connecting phone

Reinstall Windows Mobile Device Center fixed issue with connecting phone

I finally got around to doing this. Seems to be working perfect now. I did this at about noon yesterday, so it has not been a long time of testing.

But, I have done several disconnects with connects as disk drive and normal active sync. That would often times hose things up for me. Now it is not. Very happy about this.

Seems to be working great.

Not sure why M$ did not automatically fix this through Windows Update. When you think about what that does, there should be no reason for it not to be fixable through an update. It should have been as simple as getting the right files in the right places and setting the registry values correctly. Easily doable through an update.

In any case things are working great with this.

And because Joe opened our eyes about the unpolished slider-box, I've use it in GTX too and here, because of the white maybe, some little imperfections showed up.

So here I am with even more polished slider box and sized exactly on curtains.

Sorry, just manila files, no cab, I have no tool right now. You can use Commander as usual.

Thank you Joe!

--Later--

Because the curtain in the first level of tabs is taller than the one in the subsequent levels, I've reduced the 695552fb slider-box compared to 1cd2f8ef.

So in all the cases, the slider looks well fitted on the curtain.

For the variant "no curtains" it doesn't mater the size, just the cleaner top side.

...and my sliders are a little bit wider, because I've thought that 2 pixels from the edge is enough (in fact, 1 pixel from shadow, but for the eye are 2pix) to make entire border visible...

And once again, thanks you guys for support.

Now I have the cab too :cool:

Kill ArkSwitch & ActiveSync + Call Button to TaskMgr3 Custom

Using Task Manager one can see that having the cooked-in ArkSwitch running all the time by NRG's default consumes 1.54MB of RAM memory. Since the NRG ROM default hold (or long press) Call/Send key brings up Task Manager v3.1 that can be customized to TaskMgr3 as shown below, I decided to prevent ArkSwitch from running when the phone boots & simply added a shortcut to it on Home or one can use > Start > Tools > ArkSwitch when needed.

An other reason to kill ArkSwitch is that besides Task Manager, both WinStart Free and paid version have a neat Taskmanager bar feature on top which lets you switch tasks by clicking on the icon or kill it by tap-and-hold on that icon just like ArkSwitch does at no extra RAM memory cost.

Tap left-side Taskbar > ArkSwith > Menu > Options > Unselect Run at boot time and free up 1.54MB of RAM after rebooting or killing ArkSwitch with Winstart or Task Manager or with > ArkSwitch > Menu > Quit ArkSwitch:

BTW after a fresh NRG ROM install the ActiveSync application (636K mem usage) and it's companion process repllog.exe (344K mem usage) are

not running

but as soon as you active sync to your computer, they are running ALL the time in the background for no reason in my case. I killed ActiveSync on the phone which also automatically stops repllog.exe and connected to my PC & WMDC & active sync started automatically so no need to waste almost 1MB of precious RAM memory IMO. So after syncing to your PC & disconnecting simply > Winstart (or TaskMgr) > and kill ActiveSync! You can always start it manually if needed with > Start > Internet > Activesync or add a shortcut to it on the Home tabs. Note from JVH3's post below (thanks!): "Active Sync needs to be running all the time

if you sync with an exchange server

as items arrive". Which many of us don't use so we can stop it. :)

-------------

Custom Hold Send Key to Custom TaskMgr3

The default action of holding (or long press) the Call or Send key on NRG's current ROMs opens Task Manager v3.1 which defaults to it's Application tab & you can't change that. Now what's cool if you change the long press Call to TaskMgr3 instead is that you can customize

which tab TaskMgr3 will open first

.

Start > Settings > Personal > Buttons > select TaskMgr3 from the drop-down menu > OK. After that > hold Call key > TaskMgr3 > Options > Tabs Options > Set Starting Tab > and select your preferred one. :cool:
