[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdamouse:
Reg Fix

Adding this potential fix here as well so anyone subscribed to this thread sees it.

Ok, I think I have a fix for this. I googled around some more and found that this might be an HTC problem more than an SE one. There were various registry keys people suggested to try to fix the 'backlight problem' - which may or may not be related. None of those suggestions seemed to work, but I kept changing keys myself and eventually found this seemed to do the trick.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\ACUserIdle: 120

I confirmed that changing this value affects the amount of time before my X1's screen turns off - but my MP3s still play with the screen off and my phone wakes on receipt of a new call. This value is the # of seconds before the screen turns itself off (in this case 2 minutes). You do need to soft reset for the change to take effect.

This doesn't seem to be posted anywhere else that I've found doing this to fix this issue issue - I changed a few other registry keys as well that might be enabling this fix. So anyone with this problem, please do give this a try and if it doesn't work I'll post the other keys I changed as well - and if it does then post to say so and we're good :)

Peter

Update: I tested it also while hooked up to the computer and it does work with the phone accessible through active sync with the screen off and the battery charging (faster now that it isn't competing with the screen for power, except for the 2 minutes before it times out). If I want to use it I just click a button and the screen stays on till I leave it alone for 2 mins and it remains off. Get a call or a message and the screen goes on for 2 minutes and then off - Exact same behaviour on AC and USB - exactly the behaviour I wanted :).

get dotfred's taskmanager here and check if your event gets installed.

your script seems to be very complex anyway. what do want to achieve?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Deleted member 1890170:
@egoist6

Thanks for the advise: i'll test the TaskMgr you told me - hopely it runs

on Windows CE 5.0 Core too.

The goal of my scripts is to turn my PND into sleep mode when AC power

is gone off, and wake the device up when AC power is re-supplied.

[ Vielleicht treffen wir uns zufällig unbekannterweise auf der Wies'n? ]
[Windows Mobile Software Development] egoist6:
what is pnd?

the script should turn the device off when device runs on battery and goes below a specific bettery percentage level?

regarding wakup the device:

doesn't your device automatically wake up when acpowered?

there should be a registry key available.

apart from that your script does not run when switched off at least it runs for about 5 minutes after switching off, then the WM OS stops running apps.

[logisch - bin auf der wiesn - prosit!]
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Deleted member 1890170:
@egoist6 (and all people around the world)

PND is my abbreviation for PersonalNavigationDevice, sometimes also referred to as PNA i.e. PersonalNavigationAssistant.

The 3-scripts-package should turn the device off, regardless to current battery state or current registry settings ( and

without the need of pressing the power-button ), and reverse. All should be accomplished by software in reason for commodity.

All seems to work well, but the first time the device wakes up the display is turned on too, even when no external AC power is

supplied.

The debug-version of the scripts-package summarizes the actions performed as follows:

1253358425 ON_AC_POWER_LOSS entered

1253358427 ON_AC_POWER_DAEMON started

1253358427 ON_AC_POWER_LOSS exited

1253358533 ON_AC_POWER_DAEMON entered

1253358534 External power supply detected

1253358534 ON_AC_POWER_RESUME started

1253358534 ON_AC_POWER_RESUME entered

1253358535 ON_AC_POWER_RESUME exited

1253358536 ON_AC_POWER_DAEMON exited

Hence it's obvious that in script ON_AC_POWER_DAEMON in branch

If (NOT ExternalPowered())

...

Else

the instruction

# turn device again into standby

Run( %TURN_OFF% )

never will be executed - and that's my question: WHY NOT?

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

BTW: dotfred's taskmanager isn't Windows CE 5.0 Core compatible.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] egoist6:
try with longer delay between adding those two notification events.

maybe the second events does not get installed.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] karako:
Dear jwoegerbauer,

Thank you very much for your inspiration. I have been trying to find a not so difficult way to implement a similar solution in my PND. After seeing your work, it seems Mortscript would be a wonderful solution.

I usually run IGO8 on my PND and IGO8 has a built-in Standby function when external power off. Hence, I am more interested in the "external power on resume" part of your script. Just wondering whether I can run "ON_AC_POWER_DAEMON" and "ON_AC_POWER_RESUME" independently from "ON_AC_POWER_LOSS".

In addition, there is some mentioning of

1 POWERNOTIFIER_PROMPT.mscr

2 Sleep.exe

3 ToggleDisplay.exe

in your scripts. I did several Google search, but cannot find any source of those executables. Is it possible to pack a full working version (include all the scripts and executables used) for me to try and appreciate your amazing work please?

Thanks in advance.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Deleted member 1890170:
@karako,

First of all you got the logic! You experienced the same inadequacies as me.

Secondly here's why I startet the project: For reason of comfort (when in car) I wanted to have my PND automatically put into sleep mode, when external power supply is lost, and in reverse put back again into active mode if external power is re-supplied, all this without the need to press the device's power button and regardless to device's power settings. Hence I didn't implement a menu.

Hope with you things will get working!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] karako:
Hi jwoegerbauer,

Further research on the subject and review again deeply on your previous advice and work, gives me a strong feeling that the CeRunAtEvent could be a much better and straight forward approach in terms of power management.

Then I found this interesting article with sample codes:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobil...&noise=3&sort=Position&view=Quick&fr=26#xx0xx

Unfortunately, when I execute the sample program (WakeUpStart.exe) in my WinCE 5.0 PND (Compact Framework 2.0 installed) and Windows Mobile 5.0 PDA phone (Compact Framework 3.5 installed), both experienced the same problem - the ACCEPT button doesn't work in the program and hence I cannot execute it.

The program was written in C#, a new language for me. I will try to trace the problem, but without Visual Studio IDE, I am afraid I can hardly debug it myself.

Let's see if anybody would be interested to carry on from here.

Oops. Apparently, some experts had already found that:

- ... not every event can be handled with CeRunAppAtEvent

- ... I assume it is OEM related and the implementation of these events is not mandatory

- ... did try to use ON_AC_POWER and it did not work

above extracted from the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=558152

This takes us back to the "check the PowerStatus structure for ON AC POWER" approach.

there is a (freeware) tool for observing and fixing notification event queue on Windows Smartphone and Windows PocketPC devices: HooverNI.

Hope this hint will be useful for you.

I decided to update wired69's vga touchflo skin for wvga devices. It's a skin for Conduits Pocket Player

Simply tap the center of the screen to switch between the various views:

Standard View >> Large Spectrum Analyser View >> Album Art View

I am too lazy to make my own screenshots so here are the vga ones to get a preview of what it looks like:

Standard WVGA Version

WVGA Playlist Enabled Version

]

WVGA Landscape Version

NOTE: Recommended Vis settings: Enable Small Spectrum Analyser

The musical note icon on the bottom left will call up the 'Now Playing' screen whilst the settings (cog) icon will toggle the Equaliser on or off.

I plan on tweaking it further but thought I would share it for now so please leave feedback.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Extract the PSZ file and copy it to where you have installed Pocket Player (e.g. "<storage>\Program Files\Pocket Player" or "<storage>\Program Files\Conduits\Pocket Player" if using an older version).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sfxc13:
Post #1 updated with new version
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sfxc13:
Some small mistakes corrected. Attachment updated accordingly
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Forever_n00b:
Thanks for this. Can you modify this for 6.5.x? Screen shot of your skin on 6.5.3 attached.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sfxc13:
Can you upload/send me a screenshot with the correct dimensions? I am still running 6.5 (without the .X) and need to know the exact number of pixels to adjust.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Forever_n00b:
Umm, that is a un-modified screenshot taken with Shake and Save.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sfxc13:
I believe the uploader modifies picture sizes automatically. The picture from the site downloads as 365x608 pixels but it should be 480x800. The best method is to upload to a picture image site and the link directly to the picture's url
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Forever_n00b:
Would this be fine?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sfxc13:
Perfect. I will see what I can do
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ermallimaj:
I fixed the problem for win 6.5.x it's very simple you just have to make the background some pixel longer no need to edit script.txt :)

Oh and you can switch from playlist to album art just by taping in the top right corner of the player(where the small album art is). I have turned off small visualization and all visualisations and put a button there instead in my personal version of this skin.(Not the one I uploaded) Anyway great work it's years that I use pocket player with very ugly skins.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Forever_n00b:
^^Thanks. Works fine here, except it defaults to the default skin when in landscape. Np that, though. Thanks again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ermallimaj:
pocket player uses a different skin for landscape so you have to select the one you prefer by accessing options in landscape mode. The landscape version of this skin is not working for me anyway.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nyCecilia:
I can't believe it's taken me THIS long to find this thread! Awesome! Thank you so much!

A question, though: is there any way to make a shortcut to the Lyrics anywhere? From the main screen?

I've tried contacting Conduits for help with this, but no response :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jonboyuk:
This is the best skin ever!!! I agree with above...perhaps the EQ button could become lyrics? It's rare to want to switch EQ on and off...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mjckt:
great skin, looking for something like this since a long time, i was stuck with a qvga one since my kaiser days

again, great work, and thanks

hi all, I bought a TOB locked device which worked finme on TMOB, getting 3g and H all the time. i had to move to AT&T so I unlocked the device (thru TMOB) and got the appropriate service at AT&T. But my device only shows EDGE. Card shows 3g in an iphone so it isnt that. Anyone know why im only getting EDGE???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JonnoB:
ATT and TMobile use different 3g bands so EDGE is all you will ever get. Same thing happens in reverse until there are phones that support both sets of bands (not likely).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ekerbuddyeker:
well thats just GREAT!!

thanks. have to port to t-mob again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ruinertt:
To expand on what you said, they use different 3G bands AND the hardware that is able to talk to said bands is exclusive to both AT&T and T-Mobile TP2 phones. There is a physical hardware difference between the two, so upgrading to a different radio will not allow you use your T-Mobile TP2 on AT&T's 3G network, either.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
In other words, do a bit more research on these phones before you jump ship on carriers!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ruinertt:
Aye. It's like with my wife. She has a G1 right now with T-Mobile. However, her friend has a MeToo (iPhone) with AT&T. Of course, she wants the iPhone now and told me that other day that she can get one that is already unlocked for use with other carriers. I had to explain to her that I would get her the iPhone if she wanted, but that she would NOT get 3G while on T-Mobile's network given the hardware constraints. She didn't say much after that. ;)

Research is key. I see it every day in the NRG ROM thread. People see "Manila 2.5" and immediately grab that version. However, they fail to research and don't realize that Manila 2.5 is still in its beta form from HTC. They ask why certain functions don't work...they even seem surprised when they don't work. When explained to them that it is still in beta form, they quickly go back to lurking.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ai6908:
Yup I do agree some research is always good! But TP2 is worth it without 3G...:D I dont loose much by loosing 3G compatibility.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cyberscribe:
ditto on that, where I live we don't get stable 3g and when we do I don't notice any speed advantages. When I drive to atlanta where they have a stable 3G I only noticed that google maps DIDN"T like to even connect at 3G. And I wasn't really using anything else while there, I actually disabled the stupid 3G radio on my pantech just so I could use google maps. Sooo... never really had it anyway and got tired of waiting for ATT to drop their TP2 or even the TD2. bought a TM TP2 and I've been in heaven ever since. Phooey 3G... who needs ya? I got WiFi and edge is fine for whatever else I need on the road.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] conceptcar3:
I agree! I followed you here from kaiser! :) I love my tmobile tp2 on ATT... no need for 3g :) Shall u be cooking an amazing rhodium rom anytime soon????
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ai6908:
Hey guy! Good to see you here....I just started cooking my own ROM's, not sure if I will release them though!:)

Yea 3G will be nice, but not a necessity! LOL
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ekerbuddyeker:
thanks to all of you for making me feel so good. its no issue to return to tmob just time!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bravo261:
i've been with tmobile forever and this is my first taste of 3g, and i gotta say, i was much more excited about it than actually having it. i get 3g in my area and it makes nearly no difference in what i do with opera mini.

espn will load a hair faster and i finally get a good slingbox stream, but other than that, i wouldn't die if i had to go back to edge
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ruinertt:
You will see a MUCH bigger difference when you aren't using a browser that compresses the data before it gets to your phone.

Opera mini does just that. Thus, you won't see much of a difference between Edge and 3G. Skyfire also does it as well, I believe.

When you start downloading "raw" data, though, you will really see the difference in speed.

you were installing a new hero rom or going to a different type rom like cyans or xrom? Did you wipe before trying to flash the new rom? Have you tried formating your partitions on the memory card?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidChill:
from what i know about Hero roms is that your sd card needs 3 partitions (usually) and you need haykuro's SPL (usually).

I recommend deleting all partitions on your SD (while keeping a backup of the SD part) and just creating a new ext3/ext4 while going to a cyanogen stable/experimental build.

at the same time, you would want to wipe your phone and flash the new rom.

Belgian ROMs have English, French and Dutch on them.

And if you have the standard EU one, that also has English, French and Dutch in it.

You need to go to home > settings > locale and text > select locale

select one of the French locales. If you have the EU rom on it, one should be Francais (Belgique) listed.

Otherwise, it sounds like you have a hooky ROM.
