[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dangerously:
There are a lot of reasons for the battery life to go down quickly. I have used many different ROMs (mostly cooked ones from the chiefs here) and have not found a lot of difference in my battery performance. It has been noted somewhere on this forum (room-mate read it somewhere here) that the stock radio on the tilt2 seems to be best battery life for most who have used it.

So to sum some things up:

- Version of radio

- how bright the screen is kept at all times

- number of applications running all the time (including auto updates for stocks, weather, push web pages, etc.)

- Temperature (going from a warm house to the cold outdoors)

- speed of processor

- size of screen/resolution

can all lead to shorter battery life.

Living in a rural area vs. downtown in a major city can also greatly affect your battery life. Most buildings will have cellular devices attached to them as companies receive some money from cellular companies for hosting their equipment. So battery life is much better downtown as the phone does not have to search as much for a lock on a good signal.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dangerously:
Never fully discharge the battery! Most all devices will use Li-lon batteries and when over charged or fully drained you can kill the battery. Most devices are intelligent enough to charge up to (approximately) 98% and only let the battery drop to no less than 2% of life before shutting off. I used to do support for HP notebooks, and when they introduced lithium-ion batteries, people would demand a new battery when it would not charge past 98%. This made them change the way the software was reading the battery to reflect the 98% to read 100% on a full charge.

There is a good link in the wiki for our phones... I'll give it free of charge this time: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=519673

[Hero CDMA General] adambomb6:
I'm still sitting on the sideline about rooting, I plan to do it, I'm just trying to learn more before I do.

Is there any root password that needs to be changed like the iPhone? I want to avoid opening the door so someone can do this:

http://www.pmptoday.com/2009/11/08/...found-dangers-of-jailbreak-rick-astley-photo/

I didn't see any mention of this vulnerability in the CDMA Hero, maybe it's an iPhone only thing?
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
No worries. Nobody is going to rick roll your phone if it is rooted.

Here is how it works and why this won't happen on Android. When you have an application on your phone it runs as a certain username. This username has capabilities but not unlimited like root. It has limited abilities. Now, an app that needs root such as an overclocker or screenshot application trys to get root by issuing the su command. The rooted roms have a superuser permissions application that pops up if an application requires root. You have to allow or disallow it. Basically this means that if an app requests root and you didnt tell it to open then most likely you should disallow. Thereby eliminating the security issue. You tell which applications have root and which dont.
[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
there is something similar on the modaco rom SSH is open does have a password tied to it.... but it's randomly generated.... that was the exploit as all their passwords were the same...that's how everyeone in austrailia got rick rolled :lawl:

it would be funny if paul put a rick roll app in this rom though for ****s and grins :)
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
The iPhone root method installs an SSH server with a default password allowing anyone to log into your phone remotely if you don't change the password.

First things first: the Hero root method does not install an SSH or telnet server so you can't log in remotely even with any password. The MoDaCo ROM does install an SSH server but it also creates a random password that cannot simply be guessed.

So no one will be logging into your phone.
[Hero CDMA General] cicada:
Probably also worth note - if you don't want the SSH server on the MoDaCo ROM, you can remove it easily:

adb shell

$ su (if you're not already root)

# /system/bin/removedropbear.sh

Your phone will reboot, and no more SSH server.
[Hero CDMA General] kmartburrito:
To adambomb6 - Check out this post of where someone actually got that after rooting their Android phone. I for one am avoiding rooting my Hero for this very reason!

[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
OH SNAP!!!!
[Hero CDMA General] adambomb6:
LOL - Doh, I've been had!
[Hero CDMA General] Dhyneland:
Hahaha rickroll

how do you change the password on the modaco rom once your logged in via ssh, is it just # passwd, that didnt seem to be working for me? and is nano installed? I thought it was but # nano somefilenamehere is not working..

Thanks
[Hero CDMA General] kmartburrito:
Might it be the password that is listed in Settings --> About Phone --> Build Number ?

in that spot, I see my rom version (MoDaCo 1.1 etc) and right after the comma, SSH password: ( your own 6 digit password listed here)

Bet that's it! And no, I'm not listing mine as an example :P
[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
COME ON!!!

....and i bet a wooden nickel that you are correct.
[Hero CDMA General] cicada:
Nano is installed, but it seems buggy to me, I can't seem to get it to write-out after editing for some reason.

As for the password, you can change it by modifying the file:

/data/dropbear/passwd

Unfortunately it's plaintext, but that does make it easier to change:

# echo 'newpassword' > /data/dropbear/passwd

# reboot

Perhaps you have too many apps and not too much RAM free, try uninstalling some apps and see if works, if not try a hard reset.

just happen to stop by my local att store to see if they had anything i could use. well to my surprise when i asked about headphones the guy went to a shelf and pulled out some OEM style phones for the old tilt and fuze. great thing is they are only 5 bucks plus tax. not bad if i do say so. no hong kong orders for me this week. now if someone finally get a decent silicon case out i will be set. hit your local stores to grab a set while they are still in stock
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] pimp4cheddar:
Nice find...

I actually don't use my phone for music. I live on my iPod...

Thanks for the insight though!

I'm actually still looking for a nice silicon case for my Tilt 2...I just need a solid black case for the back of the phone...

I'll keep an eye out!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] barebear:
I happened to be looking for a pair of headphones this weekend also and found what is probably the same pair at the AT&T store. It was originally for the Tilt and Fuze, and was listed for $30. I walked in and got it for $15 since they are trying to clear out old stock. Not as good as the $5 above, but still happy for something I could not find anywhere else. It has the microUSB connector and a speaker for calls as well.

It finally gave me the chance to use the audio booster option on my phone. I really love the sound now with the equalizer enabled. I was just used to hearing the music but didn't realize how much I was missing until I could adjust those settings. I use my phone for calls, work and music and this made me very happy.

[HD2 General] CanEpia:
Could anyone with a Leo in their hands please do a battery test leaving WiFi connected while the device is in standby? In many posts it's been mentioned that WiFi now remains on as a default from the factory, hopefully this is due to new power saving functions or sufficient battery to last.

Ideally if you could please run the test connected to an Instant Messenger program or some sort of VoIP connection (or both) it would be greatly appreciated!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jerseygeorge:
I get continued lost calls at home where I have strong signals on all of our phones (Verizon). I learned about field test mode from a popular science article which directed me to this link:

http://www.wpsantennas.info/pdf/testmode/FieldTestModes.pdf

These instructions work on the TP2:

Enter *#*#364#*#* and your phone will enter test mode. Signal strength

follows RSSI. Number shown is not –dBm. Strong signal is 31 (approx

-50dBm), weak signal is 4 (approx -105dBm). The higher the number,

the stronger the signal. Press END or DONE to exit.​

When I do this after RSSI there is NCell info1,2,3,4,5. They all come in at 0-99 dbm. RX Quality is 99. I have no bars on the phone at all, and I am continually dropping calls.

Someone that knows something about this, please talk to me!!!! What numbers are you getting? It appears that my TP2 gets lousy reception while other VZW phones in my house do not. This is a replacement TP2, and I do not recall problems with the first one.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] THE-COPS:
I'm unsure as to why you arre dropping calls. Unless your signal is around -99db which WILL cause you to drop calls.

Go into your Windows folder and look for a file called "FieldTrial.exe" . Run that and take a look at both the 1X & HDR screens. You can find tower info along with acurate -db values for each. Easier than having to enter test menu codes. Also, when checking for signal strength, keep your hand away from the upper back portion of the phone. That's where the antenna sits. I find I will lose almost -10 db at times if my hand covers that spot and the phone is lowered.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jerseygeorge:
Am I looking for RX Power, ie reception power?

That is coming in at -90 to -94 dbm.

1X is coming in at -88. My hand over the antennae changes it by 2-3, but it appears very weak already.

Now what do I do, I never compared the other phone, but I can hardly use it at home. I have been with Verizon and every other phone, and all the phones my family members have get great reception. This is my second TP2, I am not up for doing this a third time.

How come there arn't complete Manila 2.5 with no bugs and landscape?

Just something Ive been curious about.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Aurel143:
Correct me if I'm wrong :maybe because the HD2 hasn't got any landscape ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Dangerously:
HTC Touch Sense (AKA Manila 2.5) is developed for the HD2 which has no slide out keyboard. The home screen is best viewed "up right" and not in landscape. The only screens that HTC thinks is better viewed or shows more, are the music & photo screens. These 2 screens only use the G-sensor and not the slide out keyboard as the HD2 (Leo) has no keyboard. Until we see newer phones proceeding the HD2 that has keyboard support, we will have limited support for landscape on all Touch Sense screens.

P.S. this has been asked already on this forum
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Dangerously:
I forgot to ask: What bugs are you referring to?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] riotburn:
Thats a good point about the landscape, didnt think about it. But I guess the overall smoothness of the whole thing. One I can think of, though i read this rom specific, is facebook integration not 100%. I played with a Moto Droid and android was really smooth and fast, I guess I was more asking why it cant be smooth like android is. Winmo would really be the superior if it had the smoothness of android. Sorry to mispost. I shouldn't post questions at 3am :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redd214:
the main reason for the sluggishness is because it was designed for a phone with almost twice the processor as we have on our tp2's. if we put manila 2.1 on an apache it would be the same story, its the hardware thats holding it back

My home screen is not getting any weather display - when I run the weather app directly I can add locations and view the weather for them, but whenever it tries to update "My Location" it fails with a connection error. Any ideas? I'm using an O2 contract SIM card if that makes any difference (connected via WiFi also).
[HD2 General] sub69:
Pure guesswork here, but assuming you're indoors or have no GPS signal, your phone would try to use cell towers to locate you and give you the current weather. Using a WiFi connection probably means it can't locate you?

Try without WiFi on the first time so that it can get a location, and maybe subsequent updates via WiFi will assume that your "My Location" has stayed the same?
[HD2 General] AndyNic:
Just a guess but dose it need a GPS signal to get the location or does it take it off the cell towers.
