Exchange Email Service

Greetings,

I am running Energy.RHODIUM.29020.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Jun.01.7z. Previous build dates have always synced to exchange fine but this newest version will not.

The option for setting domain is grayed out. The automatically attempt to detect exchange settings feature is no longer in place.

Is anyone else successfully syncing to exchange with this build and can help me out?

I tried searching the thread but couldn't find anyone posting this problem.

Thank you in advance for the assistance.

Well, in my opinion, if it was truly a ROM problem, we'd see A LOT more posts on here about people complaining about that problem. I don't know what it is, but maybe its your operator in the area, having poor signal and the phone trying to lock on to multiple towers... ? A different radio might help with that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Best bet is to create a provisioning file. You can use TaskMgr3 to import provisioning files. Then you will have this for subsequent flashes to keep in your XDA_UC folder. I am currently using the same ROM, except the GTX flavor of it. I synced with our compny's exchange server without issue.

I never use the automatically try to configure, because I just don't trust things like that.

Not really sure what the point of automatically detecting the settings for exchange is, since most users people with a need for exchange are connecting to a company exchnge server. doubtful that it will be able to automatically configure for most companies. I suppose gmail exchange and other providers have kind of changed that a little.

Is it a company exchange server or something like gmail?

There is not much to it anyway. server, domain, user_id, email address, user_id, password. Then pick your schedule and how much you want to download.

Best bet still is to create a provisioning file using something like Makisu. I have posted links to it and in the Rhodium Energy ROM XDA_UC thread.

Outlook 2010 - Windows Live - HTC

Hey,

I had realized this problem ages ago, but just now had the time and will to bother:

I use Outlook 2010 (hotmail/live account) and synch my contacts (Windows7 mobile center) between HTC and Outlook.

Works fine.

Gernerally I can also synch my contact with the HTC phone and the Windows Live App. But as soon as I do so (synch my HTC (contacts) with the Live Hotmail App) I get every contact doubled. And further more with the next synch between TD2 and Outlook the contacts are double everywhere...

The contact database is exactly the same, so no variations. To elimate any mistakes in the datainformation I imported/exporeted the contact manually before I synched the first time.

Still got dublicates... do I have to choose either organise my synch with outlook/mobile center or with Live-App?

Hope understandable what I am saying and where the problem is. Would like to know if there is a method to get rid of this synchissue.

I vote to have it (eac's mods to the dialer for sencity) added, it's a wonderful addition to the theme. Again, great work eac!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] hefman:
@eac: I'm enjoying your new dialer graphics. Works great.

One very minor graphical glitch that is a minor annoyance on the "keypad" screen while in call. The background around the "End Call" button is white, which doesn't match well with the surrounding buttons. I'm not sure what file to modify or I'd do it myself.

Attached is a screenshot...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] eac:
Thanks for the feedback my friend.

I'll check it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] samsat:
I have also recently been experiencing this. Anyone have any idea why this problem would suddenly start?

In addition the ROM based Opera suddenly stopped working so I installed Opera Mobile 10.

I guess I am headed towards a re-flash!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
It's a bug between WM and the Live service. It is the same thing when trying to do it with Gmail. The problem isn't the ROM, it's a recent update to the service that broke it for our older OS.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wmg316:
I've had that problem with WM/Active Sync/WMDC for well over a year using Outlook! That is why I moved to Windows Live ONLY for a while (stopped syncing with Outlook on PC)...and eventually moved 100% syncing with GMail. I would get the duplicate contacts...could not find a solution...so eventually stopped using Outlook on my PC (now use Windows Live Mail with GMail as my main email client).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wmg316:
@ billybag

I apologize that I don't have a solution, but I have been running the 6/1 ROM since 6/1! And although I use my phone a lot for email (GMail, Hotmail, Suddenlink)...and quite a bit for SMS messages with my wife and daughters, I use mine most FREQUENTLY as a phone (i.e., actual phone calls!!); I do talk quite a bit! I have not encountered an overheating problem...so I don't feel it is ROM related. I do have two batteries and swap out about once a month in an effort to hopefully bypass battery related problems and to hopefully extend battery life...so I don't have 100% every day usage on a single stock battery.

EDIT: Also, been using the same Radio (my signature) since I bought the phone...best IMO for AT&T...

Battery life with the June 1, 29020 GTX

Battery life seemed good for me today considering the amount of usage.

My 20 year highschool reunion is this Saturday. Pretty much everyone is on facebook. Almost all the cahtter ends up in emails to me. I think I received 300 emails today just on that account.

I had multiple long conversations related to an up coming fishing trip.

Plus, I am syncing with exchange and there was a glitch in the email system, so everything I sent last week came back to me with a message from the server today. Many were to a large number of recipients. So, I received about 300+ emails through exchange.

Plus I played a few really old games from the arcade pack.

I took the phone off the charger at 7:15 AM and just put it it on the cahrger about an hour ago ( 11:00 PM ).

I never experienced any overheating.

GTX vs non GTX should only involve some graphics files and some mode9 manila files. Possibly a few others that identify default colors, so I would expect the same behavior from the normal Cookie 2.0 29020 ROMs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] eac:
Can you check back here and tell me if it is fixed now?

Just unzip and overwrite phcanImages.dll in Windows folder.

All the best!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] hefman:
I tried the new phcanImages.dll in the zip file, but got the same result -- still white. I might try looking at the images in that file to see if I can figure something out. I'll let you know if I find anything.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] doodaa1:
This is more for info than anything else but I have an issue very similar to what billybag is experiencing and at this point it appears the only commonality is the ROM. I'm on AT&T, he's on T-Mobile, different radios (mine is stock ATT from latest official Tilt2 ROM), etc. My phone was **highly** stable both in operation and configuration until day before yesterday when it suddenly died during a phone call which started with a 51% charge on the battery. I don't have to make a call for mine to overheat, once the phone is turned off and back on it starts to warm up reeeeal fast, I've got two different batteries I've tried and they both do the same thing but work fine in my other stock Tilt2 and take a full charge when charged in a stand. I've got an older version of the ROM (like from Jan/Feb, not a flashing junkie yet. ;) ) and have made zero changes to anything recently save for the gmail episode about a month ago, email syncs two accounts every 15 minutes as usual. Can't see any (rogue) processes taking a lot of CPU, wireless is off, BT on (always is), signal is plenty and in same locations as usual... has me totally baffled so far other than to suspect a hardware failure since I don't get a charge indicator LED when I plug it into a charger, but then the indicator said it was at 4% at the time. I did have a .NET error message about a week ago after a restart but it appeared only once.... so I also suspect there may have been some memory corruption but haven't a clue why it'd take a week to manifest itself.

I intend to task29/reflash with the latest ROM as soon as I get some time and see what happens, there seem to be more than a few threads that refer to Rhodium overheating problems but none seem to have a definitive solution in them.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] eac:
:mad: damn! I guess was the rush...

Sorry mate, check back here

I hope now I didn't upload again an old dll.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monomer888:
How very strange. The only thing I can think of that might drain battery sometimes is when the Microsoft My Phone service struggles to synchronise and keeps on trying. For me a couple of times, I've woken in the morning to find the battery totally drained overnight because of this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
The best thing I can suggest for you guys is still to try out a different radio. That's about the only other thing that would affect battery life involving a phone call. Other than that, I'd hate to suggest a hardware fault, but it looks that way, since no one else is reporting it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
This is a good idea.

On my Raph with Tarkim's key remapper, I used to map the PTT to press the Enter Key when Camera was open which would take a picture. But that didn't work on the Rhodium.

You use a long press at the center of the screen for 2 seconds.

Is there any reason you did not just send a quick mouse down and mouse up on the shutter image at the bottom?

I've always been a little annoyed at how slow it is to take pictures, so I would rather not have an additional 2 second delay if it can be avoided.

Since TaskMgr3 can sent tap events, its there a reason you did not just map it to use TaskMgr3.exe /tapscreen x,y when camera.exe is running.

Since you were having it press the center, this would not work, but should work if switched to tap the on screen shutter button.

I made uTask launch ArkSwitch this way to avoid a 2nd process creation of ArkSwitch and posted it a month or two ago.

Not sure where your negativity about sharing comes from. People have always been willing to help and share solutions here. In fact I shared my Raph solution to this almost a year ago here. I think that since the ROM is so mature at this point, there are less problems. And most essential tweaks and customizations have already been posted. It's very sad, but there is not alot of new stuff entering the Windows Mobile world. It's all going to Penguins and Apples.

Mortscript is very powerful and full featured. I am surprised someone of your experience hasn't been using it longer. Once XDA_UC came out, I found it essential to complete all customizations after a flash.

RE: PTT Camera/Video Start HotFix

Thank you SO much, GSLEON3

Your work and instructions were great to get something that I am sure MANY people have been wanting to function on their devices.

Again... Thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GSLEON3:
LOL, I have been using several scripting apps for some time now, I just wanted to imbibe just how easy this stuff really can be if you just spend 20 or 30 min reading & playing a bit!

The main reason I used mortscript is that I wanted others to learn & be able to make it do anything they want. MortScript as you know offers just about the easiest way to accomplish many customized tasks. Also, I happened to be using Mort for another issue at the time so it was already in front of me. Plus I don't use TaskMgr3, when I use an energy rom I totally decompile & rebuild it lighter & get rid of all the junk registry entries that are there for other devices he cooks for in his kitchen setup.

My experience is that the 2 second Sleep command really is NOT any longer than you wait after pushing the camera shutter softkey anyway. With Mort however, they can play & have the camera launch in GPS mode say whenever the GPID process is active or whatever they want. Plus Mort will work on so many different devices now days.

P.S.

My "negativity" was not directed at the EnergyRom thread, NRG or anyone here in particular. I have been playing more with Android (since Microsoft seems to hate the people that have kept them even in the game this long) and the influx of new devices & subsequent new users that seem to want less and less to do with "Development" and more gratification create an occasional need to vent.

You have to admit though, developers and hobbyist that are truly eager to learn have definitely become the minority at most similar sites. This Screen Name says Dec. 2006, but I have had one for almost every device I had (To keep them straight as I used to Mod & do a ton of troubleshooting over IM or phone) so think PPC 2002 and BuzzLightyear, BlueAngel PPC 2003 & the big upgrade PPC 2003SE!

So anyways, more frustration in general than negativity toward anyone in the EnergyRom thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GT247:
GSLEON3, thank you VERY much for the PTT/Camera info..I used to use the remap tool for this same thing on the stock rom , it's a pain to have to hold the phone with 2 hands just to take a pic (and no, I'm not talking about "those" sorts of pics, lol)...I use the camera on all my jobs to photodocument certain things, and often times I may have to point to what exactly the picture is a picture of, like a scratch on a floor, a chipped piece of granite countertop, etc...I do this before commencing work so I don't get blamed for it afterwards...my type of work often has me with some sort of materials on my fingers and having to press the screen with them is something I hate...like JVH3 I'd prefer not to have an additional delay, and I notice you've said you aren't going to customize....it would be great if you'd reconsider....

JVH3, if you're able to customize, would you be willing?

I, unfortunately, am useless when it comes to anything beyond installing cabs on my device, lol...trust me, it frustrates me that I can't learn to do what so many here do effortlessly...not just because I can't tweak my phone the way I want to, but also that I can't provide to others :( ...maybe I should change my moniker to "Looooooooserrrr" lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Install Tarkim's Rhodium Key mapper.

Then import this setting file inside the zip file.

It does some extra keys that are also useful.

Long press of PTT = Camera

When Camera is running, short press of PTT = take picture

uses TaskMgr3.exe /tapscreen 240,785

Press PTT to lock device

Double Press PTT to Comm Mgr

Triple Press PTT to Total Commander

FN-C, FN-V, FN-X

Long C, Long V, Long x

Copy, Paste, Cut

Long A= Ctrl A to select all

Shift Home = launch start menu

Battery drain

I have been seeing the battery drain issue reported by others sinece upgrading to the latest ROM. I have since disabled Direct Push for my Exchange mail and have been syncing manually. Since doing this, the excesssive battery drain has stopped. I understand Direct Push would have some bearing on the drain, but this seems excessive. Are others who see this issue also doing Direct Push for Activesync?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
I guess the real question is what is excessive.

I used my phone all day with direct push to our exchagne server.

I also sync 5 other email accounts polling every 15 minutes with 2 of them and every 30 for the others.

Yestereday morning, I took it off the charger at 7 AM and when I went to bed around 1 AM I still had 46%. I think that is pretty good.

Things to watch for:

Running processes. Total Commander consumes alot of power. Do not leave it running when you are done adjusting things.

GPS applications use alot of power.

WiFi consumes alot of power.

Having Blue Tooth turned on consumes additional power, even when it is not connected to anything.

Games consume aloot of power. There is actually alto of computations being done to render any kind of animation. More so with 3D perspective games.

Streaming video or audio consumes alot of power.

Constantly keping the display alive consumes alot of power.

Direct push just sends a simple ping to the server. Then the server responds only if there is data. Then a real connection is established. Where as timed polling actually establishes a real connection to try to check if there are emails available. Direct Push is kind of misleading because without the Ping from your phone, emails would never get pushed to it. But, a Ping consumes alot less power than establishing a connection. But if you get emails spaced every few minutes all day long, it may actually consume more power than polling every 15 minutes.

Our phones are as functional as laptops. But, when you use all the power of the phone, you still get much better power usage than a laptop.

Noone can help someone else if the person with the issue won't try the suggestions made by others who are trying to help them... sometimes there is no one click answer, sometimes these people with their experience and extensive knowledge can't solve the issue someone else is having without some work being done by the user of their device....it's been recommended various times to try new radios to see if this is the cause of the battery drainage, but I can't recall seeing anyone say "I've tried 4 different radios and it keeps happening"....imagine if one person with the issue did that and was able to say "yep....tried radio xxx.xxx.xxx after trying 2 others, and it's working now"...maybe they'd solve 789650 other peoples' drainage issue....it doesn't do any good to have someone without the issue experiment with radios...try the radio suggestion...it doesn't even have to be 789650 other people, maybe it's just 2 or 3 others.....oh yeah, and yourself

I hope my last post was not abrasive to anyone, I am "Chief of All People Who Needs Help" here...I can't do registry tweaks, I can't write mortscripts, yesterday I just figured out how to use total commander to install files into windows and whatever I did required me to hard reset (lmao)...

Anyways, the reason for this post now is just to say I wasn't trying to be rude or short to anyone, I need all the help I can get around here and the people here who offer it are golden...try what they're suggesting and report back with the results and they won't quit on you, I've witnessed that....but they can't help if you won't try, was my point...

PTT camera.

I did post a similar solution sometime back in response to GT247's question, which worked for me. I could not check with PTT button because I have a Tmobile TP2. But somehow in his weird wit/sarcasm GT247 said it did not work for him in a rather dirty language (I do not subscribe to that kind of filth). I hope this one works for him.

BTW Thanks for posting your config, it will help many here and certainly me. I have most of your tweaks from your earlier posts.

Using Wi-fi Router in Ubuntu 11.04

Hi, I was wondering if anybody is able to connect a computer running Ubuntu 11.04 to Internet using Wi-fi Router (the one included in the June 1 ROM version). I can connect the same computer when booting under Windows 7, and some friends have also connected to Internet from iphones and Android phones, but for some reason Ubuntu refuses to connect. I've checked the settings to make sure that it is setup as an ad-hoc connection and security to WEP 40/128 bits, but still nothing, it just tries to connect for 30 seconds or so and then requests the password again.

I would appreciate any suggestions about this.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GT247:
Martian07, indeed, it did not work for me, and I figured at that time it was because (A) I was using settings designed for a TP2 that didn't have a PTT button therefore would never work (which was a presumption I may have made mistakenly all on my own).. or (B) I messed up on the settings of the remapper, (which seemed likely to me as I mess many things up on my phone occasionally)..in any event it seemed it wasn't worth interrupting the thread over it, so I let the issue drop.

I appreciate that you were trying to help, as I appreciate everyone who does the same.

AT&T Radio

Hey GT247, just wonderin what radio you using? Out in CA too on AT&T and still keep changin radios tryin to figure out what's best... Was usin 4.49.25.77 for a while but radio had trouble holdin signal so battery life took a hit & GPS was only ok. Usin 4.49.25.95 and GPS is better but signal still not very good. I live out in the hills so that's an issue as well. Just wonderin what other NRG/AT&T rom users were havin luck with... I've used a few others but these 2 seem to have the best luck for me so far...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GT247:
rkub, right now I'm using 4.49.25.95, and it's been good, to be honest I can't tell a difference from the radio I had before, I do get very good gps and signal so there was no reason to convert back...I can say though, the stock radio gave me very good signal, wherever I went, with the exception of the occasional areas where even people with phones from other carriers didn't get reception, and still, other times, those people would say "what? you get signal here?"...they'd trip when I told them I was w/ATT, I guess they'd fallen for the old "ATT has a lot of dropped calls" thing...I'm trying to look up what radio that was....found it.......4.48.25.20...again...that radio never gave me cause to want to replace it, the only reason I did was because there was hope the newer one would be better...I haven't flashed back to it only because the new one is not worse....try the 4.48.25.20
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GT247:

Just for the info and anyone searching for battery drain issues.... my problem from the earlier post is definitely hardware. I'm getting a little old and slowing down a little so it took me a while before it dawned on me the battery was getting warm with the phone **off**. Combine that with no charge indicator and it's a no brainer, something in power circuitry has bought the farm. Pretty hard for any kind of firmware or software to drain the battery and/or misreport charging status if it hasn't been loaded into memory. I now have a tilt2 parts phone in my box of "interesting stuff that will probably never be used again". :o
