I have a 5v 1A car charger. When in the car if I am using Pocket Player, and my GPS program at the same time I will get the message that:

"there is not enough current to properly charge the device. Please should shut down unneeded programs." or something like that...

And sure enough, my phone will die if left like this. It won't charge, even though it shows that it is... curious.

Could it be the cable is not allowing enough current? I am using an older cable in the car, as I have my TP2 supplied cable on my computer....I am going to try swapping these 2 cables tomorrow and see what happens.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dekebro:
I've had my Sprint TP2 for 12 days now and experienced this problem once. I was plugged directly to my PC via the USB port. I believe my battery was at about 30% so I disconnected it and used the travel charger for awhile and plugged it back into the PC USB port. So far that's the only time it's happened.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nradu:
Might be the cable!

Hello,

I had exactly the same problem and found out it WAS the USB cable - the one used couldn't offer more than 300mA to the phone, even if connected to orriginal HTC AC adapter. After changing the cable, the 1A car charger gives the same mA as the AC adapter (checked with nuePower - http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nuePowernueBattery.aspx)

nradu:

Thanks for the info.. I haven't driven anywhere since I posted that! I will be in the next day or so... glad to know the answer is simple.

I too, just downloaded the NuePower program. Will be installing this as well. Did you by chance have the chainfire 1% battery cab installed? If so, did you unistall it first? Wondering if there will be a conflict between the 2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nradu:
Hi,

Yes, I have chainfire's cab, I didn't uninstall it before installing NuePower (btw, I have tried once to uninstall it and after a soft reset, the 1% info was still there). the only bug I saw was when pressing the OK button in NuePower - sometimes phone hungs or runs very very slowly. Best is to use it only to test the cables and uninstall it. and don't press OK button, just minimize it with End Key or do a soft reset if handy.

Don't know if will help, but last night I was in my car using Live Search for GPS purposes. The battery was low on the phone, so I plugged it in. The phone told me that the source was not strong enough to charge the phone and to try shutting down some apps. I assumed that it was because the GPS was still active, although I really don't know because I didn't bother testing that theory, as I was just around the corner from my house. (No jokes about using the GPS to get home, please. :eek:)

Anyway, when I got home, I plugged into my laptop (which was running on AC power) using the cable that came with my XV6800. Note that the cable is always connected to my laptop via a cheap USB hub. I experienced no problems.

I'm on a Topaz and still waiting for our official WM6.5 ROM to be released (26th October is the date) and I wonder how fast and smooth the ROM is for you guys? I find all the custom ROMS for Topaz to be sluggish even tho the RAM usage is the same as WM6.1 (40-50%). So tell me guys :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
anybody have the theme from the 6.5 rom? im tired of the ugly microsoft one on my phone. i figure ill check out htcs 6.5 theme.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Zakkie:
Coming from a person that likes "screen candy", but prefers performance - I am disappointed with 6.5 on my stock TP2 - Its not a complete failure, but to me you can tell its a vista type upgrade which the phone can't really handle.. its not as quick as 6.1 simply because its spending all its time dealing with the candy. :mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Polar67:
Window dressing

IMHO the upgrade is little more than Window(s)dressing.

a smear of screen candy added to WM 6.1.

They ought to have named it WM6.1.0.1. Yes i know. It´s their product and their right to "name their baby" but DAMN!!:(

Don´t get me wrong. I am not thinking of jumping ship and i upgraded as well.

I just can´t help i feeling like i bought a new screwdriver because the old one didn´t have a handle in "this years colours"

On top of that i seem to have received some stability issues together with the "upgrade". Haven´t nailed the problem yet and maybe it´s a user error, but at the very least i think it´s safe to state that stability in my experience haven´t improved one bit.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ArtieQ:
So how fluid is the startmenu for you guys? I remember it was very laggy on every custom ROM I've tried.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Zakkie:
The whole phone could be described as laggy now, not a deal breaker - just a disappointment when your actually trying to use it and menus take a little longer to display etc...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] larsmn:
Not only did the phone get slow and laggy with the new 6.5 update, there is also several bugs.

For instance when I turned off the phone with wifi enabled, then when I turned the phone back on, the wifi did not work or show in the notification area, but when I went in to Comm Manager the wifi appeared to be enabled. So I had to disable and then again enable the wifi to use it again.

I have tried to install/flash it a couple of times with the same result, but now I went back to 6.1 and is happy with my TP2 again.

I do not know what HTC thought of when they released this buggy and slow 6.5 update.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DJ Palmis:
This problem is bothering me.. I can't belive HTC do not test its update!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kuzibri:
sounds to me that TP2 owners should stay away from the upgrade to 6.5, not only because of the aferementioned problems, but also because a lot of owners are not happy with the (coloured) icons in the revised TF3D.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] skjelnes:
I think it is a nice "feature". If you start a program that needs network it automatically turn on WiFi if it was enabled before it was turned off. You do not need to turn off and on again in Comm Mangager.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] frogfoot:
Same here, I prefer the implementation now, you can leave WI FI on and it will only connect when you need it, not whenever it is range of a router.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DJ Palmis:
Oh.. It is TRUE!!! WOW!!! I did not understand this feature! It's wonderful! Thank you!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] larsmn:
That's not what happened on my device. I did try to open Opera after I turned on the phone (when wifi appeared to be disabled in the notification area) but it started connecting to 3G instead of wifi, eventhough wifi actually appeared to be enabled in Comm Manager.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] TheChozen:
My experiences with the official 6.5 ROM

I have been a WM-user for many years and now my way around the system.

With this ROM I have been through several reflashes and "install-test-restart-install-test-restart-reinstallations" on my unbranded Danish TP2/Rhodium.

+ Nice new IE

+ Nice HTC Sense UI

+ WM 6.5 is a fresh breeze: It is more finger friendly and more colour full than before)

- HTC Sense UI constantly lags

- Bug in "Detailed Power Details" Seems to reset itself so it is hard to keep a statistic of daily usage. Go to-> Settings->System->Power Options

- Spontaneous shutdowns -> Had three in one day, without even using the phone!? Had to remove cover and battery.

- Lag in TomTom got worse than in WM 6.1 (might be TomTom or HTCs fault).

- The keyboard icon on the soft button panel often disappaers and I have to restart the phone to get it back.

- Uses more memory. Idle usage is mostly between 75-80% and often even higher. This makes it difficult to really multitask with several open applications.

- Start menu seems sluggish and not smooth scrolling.

- Delayed sound notifications on text messages

- Multitasking is slooow

In general WM 6.5 seems slow and "laggy" compared to the "old" 6.1.

Yes, it's a "new" OS, but so much worse than 6.1? I don't get it....:confused:

HTC (and MS?), IMHO this is a bummer....I am for sure on my way back to 6.1

/The Chozen
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ArtieQ:
Thanks for the long review dude, I will not upgrade to WM6.5 when they release the update for TD2, WM6.1+SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 is good enough for me at the moment.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] spl23:
Neither of the words "fast" or "smooth" are appropriate for the official WM6.5 ROM on the TP2. "Slow", "sluggish" and "laggy" are more the sort of words I found myself using.

After 2 days of using 6.5, by the end of which I was ready to give up on the HTC and buy an iPhone, I went back to the official 6.1 ROM.

There isn't that much extra graphic flashiness in 6.5 - certainly not enough to justify the seriously adverse effect it has on responsiveness of the user interface. I'm wondering if this is a deliberate ploy by HTC to persuade TP2 owners who want 6.5 to upgrade to a new device...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] upway:
wm 6.5 has problems but the problem about memory is just the HTC Sense item, HTC Manila in 6.1 was faster due to graphics... i think we do not need such quality in graphics (because that made the HTC Sense slowerr) i closed HTC Sense and added other today items and works much better than 6.1!! HTC is trying to get better today screen than the other WM phones, this makes it much better but slower :). but, i think HTC and iphone have much differences. Whatever for me; Windows Mobile and HTC are the best!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ArtieQ:
I flashed probably the best cooked WM6.5 ROM for Topaz and I saw no difference with HTC Sense on/off, it was same sluggishness with both.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] spl23:
On both WM6.1 and WM6.5, I hack the registry to turn off as much of the HTC customisation as possible, and HTC Sense is the first thing to go. Even with all the HTC additions switched off, WM6.5 itself uses 50% of the program memory - WM6.1 used less than 40%. The sluggishness is still there with the default Windows today screen and start menu on 6.5. It may well be worse with HTC Sense enabled, but disabling it does not make 6.5 on the TP2 anywhere near as fast and responsive as 6.1.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mattkane:
My positive experience with the official 6.5 ROM

i thought i had better post as i am obviously lucky, as my TP2 (UK unbranded) is working so much quicker in the 6.5 rom. slider is much quicker to respond with no lag, and the "grid" menu of programs is instamt on key press. I was impressed when first using. I used for a week and then installed Pocket Shield, expecting it to take a performance hit. But no, it is still working quicker than before. I then started to add a few programs, and as has been posted the memory usage does go to 80% from time to time, but I still have a quick device. what have i got that is different?

I will now start tweaking to give other improvements.

I had to post to give a balanced view.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickPDX:
I have flashed my phone with new/different hero roms a few times in the past couple days. I have been using hero roms now as my daily rom for a couple months. I have been thinking recently if it is worth using hero and was wondering what other people thought.

Pros/Cons (for me at least):

Pros:

Facebook integration

Enhanced Widgets

Better on screen keyboard

More home screens

beyond that I can't think of much other than just having a different looking UI than most people I know with G1 or MT3G.

Cons:

No Bluetooth

Stability and Performance Issues

Phone not working as it was meant (keyboard slide open etc)

So I am trying to decide if it is worth keeping hero on my phone. I have started to get annoyed with not being able to open the keyboard when I want and not being able to use my nice bluetooth headset.

Any thoughts?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
using hiro for your own good is inmoral

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Docavelli:
I actually just flashed hero back on my phone after putting cm4.0.4 on for a while so i could watch a little sprint tv. But like I said, I came back to hero. I do't have anything negative to say about the hero I'm running.

*I don't care about BT or LEDs.

*I dont have performance issues (task killer keeps me running smooooth)

*The only time I see a load screen is the very rare occassion when i bump my phone and it opens.

*I dont care about landscape on the homescreen and every app where i have to type, I can open the keyboard and type. Don't see why you're having problems.

It ultimately is your decision to make so I guess it depends on how much the negatives you're experiencing annoy you. And actually, if you wanted to keep hero, you wouldn't be asking.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
ummm

sprint tv works on cm 4.04 along with 4.1.999, you do not need hero for that
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
I'm in the same boat as you. I was a long-time JACxROM user, and still love the stability and speed of it. But then I tried out JACxHEROski, and now I'm addicted to the better widgets and appearance of the UI. It's hard to go back because of that.

Reread his post. He flashed CM 4.04 so that he could try out SprintTV, not the other way around.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
hey my bad, we all make mistakes
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickPDX:
I agree the widgets are probably the main reason that I stay on hero. Even though the weather and clock are the main two that I use on regular basis. Don't know if that is enough to offset not being able to do the other stuff I mentioned (mainly Bluetooth headset). When they make cell phone illegal while driving in my state too I guess the decision will be made for me.

Side note: For T-mobile the Nokia N900 coming out has an FM transmitter that you can use for routing your calls through your FM radio. That seems like a very cool alternative for bluetooth headsets.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
There's a lot about the N900 I'm liking... Too bad it doesn't have a capacitive screen and a faster processor.

It seems to me that the main attraction to Hero roms is the UI. How Integrated into the OS is the Sense UI? Since the Hero's are all 1.5 based, how about starting from a stock rom and adding enough to get the UI running? Would that leave bluetooth support in place?

its been removed on the rom update cuz it takes up too much resources
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
IMHO, it never did take up too many resources, or was a specific performance issue. It was just that some people saw it as one.

It was just that the clock widget didn't update when the phone was sleeping or otherwise occupied. It *still* doesn't either - I often wake my phone from sleeping and see my clock is some hours in the past until it changes to a new time. It just does switches "instantly", rather than running an animation now.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z1majed:

That would be an interesting project, hope you try it out. They only thing that I could think of not fitting is the speaker, which on the MDA is on the side of the device.

You will need to purchase a touch screen digitizer if you try this. It is attached to the housing and impossible to remove without damage. Also, when removing the digitizer and other ribbon cables, remember to slide the little black peice slightly to remove it. Very tricky, but I have completely taken the topaz apart numerous times.
