[Hero, G2 Touch General] Spacechimp:
Doesn't work for me either.

Disabled native SMS app (and all notifications). Installed Handcent and set as default. Rebooted and let the phone charge for a bit. Switched off for a while longer. Switched back on. Guess what - 99% every time I look.

Whatever is happening is just killing the practicality of taking this phone out and about. I used to get a good 24hrs or more with some good usage, but now I'm getting 10hrs without barely touching it.

Have also followed another thread from another forum ref battery saving tips, e.g. switching to 2G, using Power Manager, etc. But even having done that for a couple of weeks there's no improvement.

All in all, I'm becoming quite underwhelmed with this piece of kit.

It's also dropping my Facebook login a couple of times a day which means all avatars disappear from phonebook, etc - hardly mission critical but it still shouldn't happen. And the screen timeout constantly resets to 15 secs, even when I ask it kindly to remain at 2 mins.

PITA. And not happy.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Spacechimp:
Have gone through App Manager and cleared all safe caches and "force stopped" all unnecessary apps. Phone should now be running only the bear system apps, etc.

Currently fully charged and switched off. Hopefully I'll see some improvement in the next 24hrs.

Also need to add to my post above that I haven't made an outgoing call for a couple of days and the dialer doesn't show any usage under Spare Parts. Hence I'm really confused as to what really is causing the drainage.

SC

PS a fair number of apps do seem to "prevent phone from sleeping", so there could be just one loose cannon in there somewhere.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Wasney:
Just wanted to add on to this...If I install enough apps to the point that I have less then 100mb open on my phone, or over 27 apps installed (sometimes on or the other) My Hero is unable to sleep. I thought it was one program, but I am able to install any other right now, and it will stick at 100% on, and then if I remove one, it is able to sleep and gets like 24% on....

really weird...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] michael_brito:
the reason why is because when you turn the phone off and then turn it back on, the up time and the awake time should be exactly the same, therefore the awake time will be at 100% but after having the phone sleep, this percentage should decrease accordingly. Now being that there is an issue with the native sms messenger on the phone, that prevents the phone from completely sleeping, it is keeping you awake time the same or close to your up time. Try using a different sms messenger instead of the native one, and make sure it is not running and that you dont open up the native one. The phone should be able to go to sleep and not keep the applications running
[Hero, G2 Touch General] flexte:
Everyone needs to realize that the native SMS app is NOT the only thing causing the phone to stay awake. The fix will help but there are other apps that are causing this as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Negrito:
How often are you guys 'soft' reseting your Heroes? I dont think I have since i had it. In addition to not using the default sms app I also keep my brightness at between 5%-10%.

Up Time:

194:44:43

Awake Time:

57:22:46(29%)

On a side note im very surprised there arent that many chomp users. I have been using chomp since day one and i cant say how pleased with it i am.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Spacechimp:
Within half an hour or so of my last post, I found my Awake Time dropped to 54% - so I thought I'd cracked it. Without even using the phone for the next few hours - and having it supposedly asleep - it crept up to 80%. By the following morning it was back to 99%. And I hadn't even initiated any apps.

The weird thing is that the charge ran down to it's last 5% after about 24hrs uptime, which I thought was quite respectable. So I figured there's maybe not always a link between uptime and awake time.

Howver, after a full charge, I then sent a couple of texts using Handcent and this time I've had to charge it again after less than 12 hours.

This is unacceptable, and HTC have to find a fix.

When I first got it I was using the web, emails, twidroid, Greed and Googlemaps with GPS route planning for several hours while out and about. And it would last fine. Now it's just crap. And I can't find anymore apps that are running with "Stop phone from sleeping".

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] Sooner Magic:
Decided to take the plunge and flash my Dash 3G..downloaded the Dash3G HardSPL by JockyW, unzipped it on my PC and ran the auto.bat. Copied JumpSPL. exe to my phone and executed it on the phone. Ended up with a Jump address dialog box.

I'm sure I have overlooked something, but can't figure it out. HELP!

Thanks in advance.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] Sooner Magic:
Next steps

Figured out my problem, but have now ran into another.

When I get to the point where I click the trackball to continue execution of JumpSPL, the phone displays turns dark and then I lose USB connectivity. The romupdate displays on my PC, but I am unable to reconnect via ActiveSync. Ideas?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] jockyw2001:
That's normal. After the JumpSPL starts on your phone activesync disconnects. Another type of connection (htc sync, you should see the driver in devicemanager) takes over.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] Sooner Magic:
Thanks Jockey. That may be the issue as it doesn't ever appear to switch to htc sync. I am also not seeing anything like that in the device manager. Ideas?

I do see JumpSPL on the phone.

I appreciate your help.
[Touch HD General] elite-fusion:
Hello, i was just wondering if there is a way to display the battery in the status bar, i have 6.5 installed on the phone and when im on the home screen, i have the Clock displayed in the status bar instead of the battery indicator, but when i go to clock settings, i DO NOT have a check mark in the box to display the clock on all screens, but on the home screen its STILL there, how can i make it so that the battery status bar is there instead of the clock ?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
I believe HD Tweak has this option
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RogerrrT:
Hi i have a iPaq hx2110 that comes with WM 2003 SE preinstalled. I have read that there are other roms for this pda, such as WinMo 5 / 6.1 / 6.5, but what is the version of Windows Mobile that can ensure a better power saving? Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RogerrrT:
No one can help me?

Edit: i'm reading some guides for upgrade my 2110 to wm5/6, but most of them starts with a PRE-BL version "1.00.04", while mine is "1.00.02", with WM 2003 SE... How can i do?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GermanGuy:
Does anybody know about a cooked TMOUS 6.1 ROM for the TouchPro 2 with all the bloatware removed that I could use on my ATT TP2?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] murnutz:
Hello everyone. I recently moved to Germany from the US and had my Fuze SIM unlocked. Well today I went to a T-mobile kiosk and the rep told me that I can use the phone for regular phone service with no problems but he didn't think that the US spec Fuze would work on the Internet with their data plan? Does anyone know if this is true? Why would it not work? Does T-mobile in Germany use a different band for Internet that the US Fuze doesn't support? Any information that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Murnutz

[General Questions and Answers] TravisBean:
Is Sprint/HTC planning to offer an official WM 6.5 ROM upgrade?

(or will they insist that you buy a new device if you want 6.5?)
[General Questions and Answers] Rudegar:
list of devices which will get official 6.5

HTC Snap (upgrade);

HTC Touch Diamond 2 (upgrade);

HTC Touch Pro 2 (upgrade);

HTC Touch 2 (pre-installed);

HTC HD2 (pre-installed);

no other devices from htc will get 6.5 from official sources

Wow...........

So the Snap, without a touchscreen will get it, yet the Touch won't?

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rajuabju:
Well, it's a sad day for me.

After 8 years with Verizon Wireless, the last 2 being with my trusty XV6800, its time for me to move on.

My company is allowing me to join the corporate plan they have with AT&T, which means I'll get unlimited voice, text, data for $60/month. Nothing from Verizon Wireless comes even close.

My new Tilt 2 arrived today. WM6.5 is pretty sweet. The phone itself is very impressive.

If anyone wants an old VZW XV6800, I'd sell it for $20 + shipping, just PM me.

Good luck to all who continue to use what I consider one of the best devices ever made.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rajuabju:
FYI, the device has been sold.
[Touch 3G General] vinayendra:
i want to block all calls when i`m busy(on another call) with other call but i want to know who called me when i was busy

any software to do it???
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
I am not sure about a software. But my service provider sends me SMS notifying all missed calls (with the calling numbers) while I was busy.
[Touch 3G General] MvBoe:
I think this only can be realised by the provider function.

If you do not activate "call waiting" (the 2. call is indicated with a sound-signal while you are speaking) the 2. call will be blocked by the network and not reach your handset. So no software can detect this 2. call without "call waiting" activated.
[Touch 3G General] vinayendra:
Well my network provider does`nt have such a feature

i know we can deactivate waiting calls, i need something from where i can know who all have called, the soft should automatically hang up any call when i am busy on some other call
[Touch 3G General] MvBoe:
In this case it can not be solved (AFAIK) because without "call waiting" the network does not inform your handset about further calls as long as you speak.
[Touch 3G General] haree:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] themima:
I searched for it for hours ... What i need is a fullscreenplayer for kaiser,the only ones i found were 1.05 for Diamond and 1.7, but they both dont work. I need this because my htc album doesnt work, i installed mov and dshow but i cant find the proper fps, with diamond fps the video is showed on half of the screen and every picture is buggy. Can someone pass me link to a valid fps for Kaiser ? Thanks in avance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] diaboliq32:
If you are looking for a player for your phone trying TCMP.ESTE BEST PLAYER IN HOW MANY ARE THERE
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] N.Creep:
Use TCMP.

Search on google for download .

Is good stuff.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Armazia:
Thats not true.. Try WinVibePro, Super sound quality, it filters the music by a good build in decoder, Also can boost up the bass, so cheap earphones can sound like expensive.
[G1 Apps and Games] acousticfish88:
Didn't see anything about this on here, so I thought I would let everyone know that flyscreen hit the market today. If you don't know what it is, the app is a locksreen replacement which boasts a number of useful widgets. It's free, so check it out.
[G1 Apps and Games] renegadedj:
well done app!

tweaks i'd personally like to see

1. accuweather edit to enable "current location" along with search city or zip

2. changeable wallpaper?

3. custom color for the bottom status bar.

4. it seems pressing menu OR home unlocks the app. maybe just keep it as only MENU unlocks?

5. would LOVE a fully-functional local music widget. even a streaming one. preferably last.fm

6. it's hard to double-tap to unlock the screen when on the calendar widget.

that's all for now. again great job!
[G1 Apps and Games] Systembomber:
Can't find it on the market. Can anyone upload a .apk for me please? :)
[G1 Apps and Games] mygti02:

[G1 Apps and Games] mygti02:
are you serious? just search the market for flyscreen
[G1 Apps and Games] jay652:
Anyone have any luck getting the Facebook widget? It says to go to www.myflyscreen.com when I try to add it, but there's not really any mention of it on the website.

EDIT: Nevermind, it turns out you have to login.
[G1 Apps and Games] ballerhaller:
this seems legit!
[G1 Apps and Games] dweller88:
I've tried it but I'm not a fan of flyscreen,

the feed summary stories are so short its not worth reading them and

it is hard to unlock.

I much prefer "buzz deck", kind of similar concept with the flicking between cards but it

works much better for the feeds.

but I guess if you use just the weather and messages widget then this is pretty good
[G1 Apps and Games] ballerhaller:
i think it would be a lot better if the added a lock, something other then just pushing the menu button

[G1 Apps and Games] shaneaus:
I like it ok...

But, I was under the impression I would be able to use widgets installed on my phone.

I can't - I have to use widgets that flyscreen has... And, their calendar widget is not interactive (can't open my calendar with it or see my appt's), there is no Gmail/Email widget, and I can't use my own weather widget instead of theirs.

Since I don't really want to use any widgets they have... It sorta makes the app pointless. If I wanted to use a widget they have I would have downloaded/installed it already!
[G1 Apps and Games] marshallladd:
I had this during the beta invite and liked it a lot then and the final revision is not dissapointing. I agree, custom backgrounds and missed call, sms etc. notifications are needed though.
[G1 Apps and Games] deepside7:
bump

any ideas on removing stericson lock?
[G1 Apps and Games] sacredsoul:
Installed it. One of the best app on the market easily. Running weather, facebook and 2 custom RSS feeds. Its kinda laggy and slow. And it also it takes sometime to kick in when you wake the phone up. It shows the home screen for a sec before flyscreen lockscreen appears. This is the major issue. Can be fixed with further optisations. Minor annoyances are the wallpaper. Missed call register and music widget wont hurt either. But still, great app!
[G1 Apps and Games] osokrayzay:
This app makes any rom awesomeness. If they can get all the social networks on this app, who needs blur? Has a lot of potential.

Been using the beta for quite some time, uninstalled because of slow performance...

the release version is much more stable, really happy with it :) all I want is to be able to install and create skins and wallpapers ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Really nice concept. Good first release. However, like others have said:

1. Needs configurable wallpaper (my gf called me gay...she would know):p

2. Causes great lag returning to homescreen, whereas before flyscreen, return was instant.
[G1 Apps and Games] PixelWarp:
I'm a little thrown off by having to give my phone# on registration but I guess that just creates a unique username. Very cool idea, I wish I could customize the background and the alignment looks a little off on the bottom (not quite centered)

Very cool. I'm looking forward to more updates from this app!
[G1 Apps and Games] DKM119:
wow...this is a great app....you can get some of the "blur" experience on any ROM....great!!
[G1 Apps and Games] marshallladd:
Check your version number on Flyscreen. If it is 1.1.1 or less you need to unistall and get it again from the market(same name, different package name so atrackdog doesn't even tell you there is an update). They updated it to 1.1.2.

It removes the copy protection stuff and shrinks the app from 7mb to 2.8.

Source
[G1 Apps and Games] deepside7:
Doesn't work in landscape though :(
[G1 Apps and Games] brandenk:
Can someone post the lastest 1.1.2 flyscreen apk? A day after installing its now gone and in market the option or open and uninstall are both greyed out. Is there a way to fix this or can someone just post the apk for me to manually install?

Edit: Nevermind, I went back to an old backup, installed it, and went back to the new backup and Im good.
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Here you go, bro. XDA's not letting me upload a .zip file for some reason, so get it HERE

EDIT: Return to homescreen much better after update...thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] zimphishmonger:
This is an awesome app. Minor annoyance is the order of the date, any way to change it to Month-Day-Year (instead of Day-Month-Year)? Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] BennyJ:
Or change the temperature of the weather widget to F instead of C?
[G1 Apps and Games] Paging Dr B:
good app but needs work tiny bit or work. I dont care what the weather is like in NY. I live in los angeles. I also need to be able to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit. Excellent start just needs more customization. Doesnt seem to slow the phone down and its very attractive compared to the stock lockscreen.
[G1 Apps and Games] hamburglar13:
You can change the city and the option of C or F in the widget gallery.
[G1 Apps and Games] Paging Dr B:
Holy crap excuse my grammar in my previous post. A hot chick must have walked by because the first line was all screwed up. Thanks for the info. I will look into changing the options
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Confirming that...just go to widget gallery and hit "EDIT". Fahrenheit and location working fine here.
[G1 Apps and Games] eghoti1:
flyscreen is pretty impressive and doesn't fail to auto update like a lot of these feed apps do. I prefer this over Buzz Deck because custom content on Buzz Deck takes an insane amount of time to refresh and doesn't translate well in the card.
[G1 Apps and Games] shmigao:
it would be great if:

- the theme notification bar could be used instead of the one built into the lockscreen (i use Enoch theme, notification bar is significantly different)

- the background could be changed

- some lagginess could be removed

- the force-closes eliminated when re-arranging widgets

but a great start - i was looking for something like this. Finally my fav news are visible right at the start, without even touching the phone
[G1 Apps and Games] shmigao:
development stopped?

i just went through the thread and saw that posts on 15th October requested/recommended quite similar changes and optimizations like me yesterday... that's almost 2 months... and nothing happened

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Krikilion:
Thx for the update.

Very glad to hear that voice dialing over BT is working again and that there is a slide to lock and FM Radio (without having to install battery killing 3th party apps).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cbreze:
The quick drop down menu from the start button is gone in 6.5/ Is there a decent cab to get it back? I've tried some previously that did not work. One thing I would miss with 6.5. Yeah, I know a petty thing to some, important to me.

I dislike BT so that feature means nothing, don't care for titanium or tf3d, so ms 3.5 is my prefered ui. My tp2 is one of the most finger friendly phones I've had yet even while running 6.1 . I know it always

seems

to make sense to upgrade to the latest and greatest, but the latest isn't neccessarily the greatest.

Having tried several diff cooked 6.5's on my old tp I may sit this one out for awhile. If you've neve tried 6.5 then by all means one should give it a try. Judge for yourself.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] apv245l:
Bluetooth

Does the fact that Voice Dialling now works over BT mean that htc have upgraded the BT stack, ie hopefully gone back to the MS one?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mspingeld:
Maybe I'm missing something. It seems that the slide to unlock doesn't lock the hardware buttons. If the phone is in a case or a pocket and a call comes in, it's possible to accidentally press the hardware accept or hang up button. That's a problem that only seems solvable using 3rd party apps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Black Phoenix:
I'm very satisfied with this 6.5 rom release. It includes basically everything I wanted. The only thing is the Manila 6.5 with the animated today menu that changes as the weather from your localization changes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] true2you:
even though this official release of winMo 6.5 looks great (installed the french one on an unbranded tp2) :

-i think the colored tf3d look is giving the rhodium a less serious image (too much green in it

-in general, the OS seem to be quite heavy for the device

-there's an obvious problem with the tf3d today clock (which is always giving me exactly 1hour & 2minutes earlier for 2seconds everytime i press the "no" button)

-also i noticed that the wi-fi antenna doesn't automatically reconnect to the selected network after i put the phone out of sleep mode, while the wi-fi antenna stays active on the phone!!?

and seriously guys, i still don't get why they didn't provide tp2 users with manila 2.5, it makes absolutelly no "SENSE"
