i think it was cos of htc they got in deep trouble hehehehe

any ways htc does there job well ,they keep on going with

there awesome devices
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] loadstone007:
I'd like my phone to use the data connection to download weather info etc., but I'd also like it to turn it off when idle to save power. Is there an app to do this?

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jdwilson:
Click on the 3G icon on the top bar, then when the notification screen opens click on the 3G icon again, that opens the Comm Mgr screen, turn off the data connection.

OR, are you wanting an app that will do it automatically after XX min?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] player911:
It should automatically disconnect after usage. I find my data connection active for like 23 hours and such. Big battery hog when it isn't even being used.

On my Fuze, there was a registry edit which would set your END key to disconnect a data connection while on the homescreen in the default position. Worked really well except it doesn't work on my new AT&T Pure for some reason.

A single tap would work exactly like the END key currently does. Pretty nice.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
"Flags2"=dword:0000000A

Flags2: "Enables a disconnect button for GPRS connections to appear in the connectivity list. Also enables End key to disconnect GPRS."

[EDIT]

Actually it may still work. I just found that further down in my app.reg of my Custom folder, I had it set again, to 16.

[EDIT2]

Yup. Changing the value to A (A=10) works like a champ. It doesn't affect any normal End key functions either.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] arrow224:
Alternatively, if you have TD2 Tools (which you should, great program), then under the Power tab, there is an option to 'Auto D/C Data Connection'. At least there is in 2a, v 2.0.3552.42948.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] loadstone007:
Yes, I want an app to disconnect the data connection after a few mins/secs. It should save power.

I will try the TD2 tools, I already had it but never thought about looking if it had this option built in.

Thanks to you all! :)

EDIT: It worked, it disconnects after a few minutes now. Does anybody know how to disable wake device when receiving SMS? The option is turned off, but still the device wakes itself.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] BumAround:
Are both working on a TD2? I mean either the registry tweak or the TD2 Tool?

I personally prefer the reg tweak, however I don't understand the content of your EDIT note: "changing WHAT to 16"?? and your EDIT2 note : "changing the value to A" is in hex or dec? And do you mean that pressing the END hardware key will disconnect data connection now?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PhilipL:
Hi

The data connection being on does not drain the battery. You have a network connection to the cell all the time otherwise you wouldn't receive phone calls, the data connection symbol just means your phone also has an IP address, that doesn't take any power.

If anything the connection remaining on saves power as each time you need a connection one doesn't have be created. Creating a connection uses more CPU cycles and radio power talking to the cell to open a network connection and then more to drop it.

The network operators also want the connection to remain on as it is less load on their networks than having them continually created then dropped.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tomoooo:
you just need to modify these two entries (was written here many times)

Hkey_local_machine\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings

1. Change in CacheTime DWORD Data to 15 (Base is Dec value)

2. Change in SuspendResume the value to GPRS_bye_if_device_off

Make a soft reset.

The data connection should turn off after 15 sec if idle. It should also turn

off after you press the red key, or turn off the screen.

Try it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] sualc:
Both solutions (reg mod and TD2 Tools) work most of the time, they are in fact the same. However I noticed 2 curious behaviours in which the timeout is not respected.

1) When I update weather via DataConnection, it does not autodisconnect after the preset time...it will when device goes in standby mode.

2) Data Connection stays on until Opera is open (even if not used).Once closed, timeout starts, and it's not that bad after all.

Can anyone confirm?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] loadstone007:
I used the TD2 tools, and i'm not experiencing these issues.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
This is good advice. Has anyone every experienced more battery drain if the the data connection is "left open"?

In any case, even if you "disconnect" data every time, if an app wants to access the internet, doesn't wm reconnect automatically again? (unless you use modaco "nodata" app or similar to inhibit it)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] sualc:
Didn't notice more battery drain with a data connection left open and you're right: if an app needs connection then it will automatically be opened. In my case I want auto disconnect because, even though I have 400 monthly prepaid connection hours, which is enormous for a phone, it annoys me to waste them while topaz is in my pocket.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] loadstone007:
Wow, thaks for the great tip Phil!

I have a prepaid 150MB limit, so it shouldn't bother me leaving it on. The 400 monthly hours sualc mentioned is indeed more of a problem.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] player911:
The problem mentioned above, about auto-disconnecting when programs are being used... this is why I program my reg edit to manual disconnect.

@BumAround: Set the value to "0000000A" (which is hex). "16" was my default value, which was also Hex.

This will do 2 things. It creates a "Disconnect" button from the PopUp Connection window and also allows the END key to disconnect only while at the Today screen in it's default position.

For example, if you are browsing Opera and press the END key... it will only take you back to the Today screen and won't touch your data connection. If your at the default position (the Clock tab on both Manila and Titanium), pressing END again will stop the data transmission.

It is a very good solution to the OP's problem by allowing you to disconnect the data connection easily, at will, and without the need for extra programs.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] BumAround:
Wow! Cool! You mean pressing END (hardware) key twice, once to bring the phone to the Today main screen, and one more time to disconnect data connection at will? Sweet! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] follettoverde:
Hi Sualc, the same "problem" for me updating weather (using option for data connection inTD2 Tools)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bobinplano:
Not sure

Not sure about this... and forgive me if I shouldn't be commenting because I'm referencing a cdma HTC touch pro 2, but I think this aspect is common.

My understanding is that the arrows up in the status bar should show white when a data connection is active and transferring data, but should turn gray when the connection is connected but not actively transmitting data. On my TP2, the data connection always shows the connection active and transmitting (the arrows stay white and never turn gray). I'm thinking if this is happening, one must surely be eating battery that isn't necessary.

On a cdma phone, the GPRS registry setting that is mentioned in this thread won't work because, although it will make the data connection automatically disconnect after an active data session, and you can change how long that time is with the CacheTime registry setting, unfortunately, on my HTC touch pro 2 Sprint cdma phone, you can't answer incoming calls when a data connection is active using these settings. I have to change the GPRS setting to #777 instead to be able to answer incoming calls when a data connection is active.... and with the #777 registry setting, I then loose the automatic time out and turning off of the data connection, so it stays on and showing active unless I turn it off manually and even then it comes on by it's self so often it's not even worth turning it off manually.

If any of you tech wizards can find a way for me to both be able to answer incoming calls when the is an active data connection, and also have the data connection time out and turn off automatically when not being used, I'd love to see it, because it sure seems to me I use more battery when I'm not turning off my data connection a lot manually, but it gets old always having to turn it off too!

Does anyone know the registry entry to disable the camera auto-focus sound please? I've tried disabling the shutter sound, but this disables the auto focus sound as well.

Or is there a cab somewhere to do this? I've searched for days and still no joy.

Hi all ^^

I would like to know if someone know how i can add more program on the today screen, i installed many prog but they are not appear, i also tried on setting/today ,to see, but i can just add msn live/calendar/task.

Thx in advance =)
[General Questions and Answers] Farmer Ted:
Do a search for "today plugins". You can't just add any old thing to the Today screen. Try out pocket digital clock and pda status-they're both great.

Try this

in sense UI go into settings tab.

Right soft key 'menu' and choose 'all settings'

go into 'system' folder and choose 'Device information'

choose 'battery'

and uncheck the box 'When phone is on, do not charge the battery when connected to PC'
[HD2 General] DrBytes:
Hi *

is there a way to disable the auto-correction of what you type on the HD2?

I have a WWE device but I need to type Dutch from time to time either in email or SMS and it's doing my head in when it tries to auto correct to English.

Alternativly, is there a way to change the dictionary to a Dutch dictionary for the correction stuff?

Cheers

Suddenly I am having a weird screen draw issue. Here is a sample shot. In PIE when I pull up a site it doesnt finish drawing, if I scroll the page at all the rest of the page will suddenly appear. Has anyone seen this kind of issue? Any thoughts on fixing it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
You didn't post the screenshot. But here's a quick tip. Dump PIE. Opera comes preinstalled and it's infinitely better than PIE.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rahlquist:
OOps.

This also happens with the wallpaper app from windows Marketplace however unlike PIE, that app never redraws the lower portion of the screen.

here is that shot

I've done a hard reset and will see if I can catch the app thats breaking it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rahlquist:
Here is the wallpaper app from windows marketplace,

At this point I have done the following in the order presented;

Hard Reset

Installed MyMobileR(1.23)

Installed Microsoft My Phone

Synced with My Phone

Installed .NetC V3.5

Used Crud Scrapper to delete all junkware

rebooted phone

Installed Marketplace app named Wallpaper

Thats it and now I get only half a screen in PIE and in this wallpaper app.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js_valencia:
Hi there,

First of all, my sincere thanks for having such a great forum. I've always been able to find all the solutions to problems by looking here. Until now... :)

There always has to be a first time for everything :P

Anyway. My problem:

Yesterday evening i was text-messaging with a my girlfriend. At one point I received a text message from her, and as I tapped the notification message to open the text, I noticed that all her other messages (and mine) had disappeared. They were gone.

Funny thing is, when ever I look at the sent messages, I can still see all the messages I've sent to her. But when looking at the message history between her and me, I only see the message that were sent after that specific message.

Now my question is, is there a way to retrieve these messages? I have been looking on this forum, but haven't seen such like post as mine. I also tried looking on google, but no luck what so ever, except for the rare post on a random forum saying it's not possible to recover them?

I just hope that there is a way you guys might be able to shed a light on this matter, as it would mean a great deal if I could recover these messages.

Also one more thing that I noticed. with all the other text conversations I have with some other friends, I see the first 5 / 6 messages. After that I get the option to see the older messages, which also include 5/ 6 message and so on and so on.

This also used to be the case with the messages between my girlfriend and me.

But since that so called killer message, I'm seeing all the messages in the same threat instead of the last 5 / 6 ones.

Maybe that this last piece of information helps you guys.

Anyway, thanks for reading in advance, and thanks for any help you guys might provide.
[HD2 General] Cptruck:
People with the Htc Hd2 have probably noticed that the battery life is horrific.

As i only really need one day or use out of the phone i found a way that gave me close to 50 hourse with normal usage wich i think is very impressive for a 4,3" screen and a 1gzh Qual snapD proscessor.

what to do:

- Go to settings and home and deactivate HTC sense and ativate Windows Standars.

- Also turn the background lighting to constanly 30% and not on auto (you can go as low as you find appealing, but 30% was perfect for me)

this does mean you have to give up the Htc sense which might not be appealing for some people, but for me it was just fine.

(PS) i had the well known SMS problems aswell, but since i deactivated the HTC sense all my messages have been sendt on time and i have recived all my phone calls, i have tested this for a week now so its all confirmed!

you could get more then 50 hours because my "normal use" contains a lot of phone calling wich drains a lot of battery and even after 50 hours i still had 30% left on the battery. each time!
[HD2 General] mahsu:
but I think the HTC sense is very important, it's a main fuction of HD2, I like it.

I wish the factories can develop a more capacity battery:):)
[HD2 General] nadderf:
Yes disable Sense and install SBP mobile shell. Faster and lower ram usage =)
[HD2 General] danielherrero:
With htc sense disabled I cant go to settings. When I click STart button/settings nothing happens :(
[HD2 General] pckshd:
+1

HTC Sense checks for location, shows weather animations, clock animations. That all uses battery.

SPB is more efficient and yet more customizable.
[HD2 General] nadderf:
Same thing happens here :( sms won't open either. But for me its just after i installed SBP mobile shell.. Weird ! :O
[HD2 General] padlad:
The settings shortcut will not work in the start menu when Mobileshell is installed, just go through mobileshell's menus to get to the settings. Have you installed the disable HTC messaging cab for when you have sense disabled? This will allow you to use/go to messaging (if you disable HTC messaging you will have to install the Arcsoft MMS client in order to send/receive MMS)
[HD2 General] kavish:
I also disabled senses, because my SMS messages were not arriving?! Very strange..

But with senses off everything goes well.. I hope there will be a fix for sense soon, because it truly is a great piece of software!

(i miss the MP3 player, photo slider, facebook updates on my contact and the direct link to opera :( )
[HD2 General] iqsoft:
Disabling sense?

What are the exact steps to disable HTC sense? I goto the today settings but I cannot see any option to disable sense, all I see is two tabs one for changing the background when the device is locked and the other for adding/removing tabs! Please help!!!

Btw if I install SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 then is Sense automatically disabled? I suppose it will be since SPB replaces it but with Windows one can never be sure!
[HD2 General] besca147:
I haven't done it but I can see how it could be done.

When you get to the Today screen you mentioned, there are two tabs at the bottom left. The first says Appearance and the second says Items. Go to Items which is where you'll see all the today settings listed. It also says that checked items appear on the Today screen. The only one checked in that list is HTC Sense. Presumably, that's where you untick it.

*If anyone knows this to be wrong, please correct me. I wouldn't want to be giving out incorrect information.*
[HD2 General] masi0:
Quick one to all who have disabled sense - is HTC Keyboard still working after?

I am also considering turning of sense.

What should I setup to have windows phone 6.5 home screen? (Zune like)

Thx
[HD2 General] pa49:
Just as a matter of interest, why don't you all just try it and see if this works or that works?

If it's not to your liking then re enable sense!
[HD2 General] -beijinger-:
I am dissatisfied with the hd2 battery, don't know what to do, mine only lasts for 1.5 day for normal usage. I think htc should work more on developing the battery technology, something like SAMSUNG phones.

About the tips and ways to have more battery life, I don't know what is the point here:you deactivate all features you have in a bloody expensive phone, and make it like a Nokia 1100 to have more battery? u can simply buy a Nokia 1100 and save ur money while you enjoy 4-5 days battery life!

What I am saying is that if we have to deactivate htc sense, weather animation, location services and make the screen less bright to use the phone for 3 days, then why should I buy a phone which has these capabilities?!

I want a long time battery, while I wanna enjoy my device. I am waiting for a better battery to be offered from htc, something like 9-cell battery for laptops.
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
1.5 days is fantastic for a smartphone which provides the functionalities of a laptop

id be happy if mine would last the day instead of charging it when i get home at 5pm
[HD2 General] eenbox:
Very nicely said with Nokia 1100 example... nothing to add here buddy!!! :)
[HD2 General] Thraka:
I disabled data connection overnight (BsB Tweaks, then shut off data connection) and I only lost 5% battery for 6-7 hours. Turned it on in the morning and barely used the phone and I've lost over 50% in about 11 hours. Only used about 10 minutes of talk time, no web checking. I have outlook and hotmail configured. MS Push was disabled. I have the Docs Indexer disabled installed.

To my sudo-quick-test it seems 3g is killing the phone.
[HD2 General] Qazz~:
to save battery life i off all the auto updates. i update 'em manually, with this and my ROM/Radio i can last 2 days average and 3 days max
[HD2 General] Ante78:
I also thought battery life was a disaster then read in some post that bluetooth was draining batt, tried to turn it of and voila. before it was beetween 0-10% when i was home by 5 and now it is 35-50%.

I don´t like that i "can´t" use the things that is availabale on phone because that´s why i bought it. I had it for about four months now and it feels like nothings ever gonna happen that´s solves the problems, this, the sms prob and that it freezes is my things that can driving me insain, but somehow i just love it anyway :)
[HD2 General] football_fan:
i thing people have to understand that battery technology has not really been developed or improved recently.. so you're using a high tech device with a old/low tech battery, so unless they make the battery big/fat, ur probably only gonna get a day or so of battery life. good example is hd2's standard n extended battery. the extended battery is somethin like 2000+ mAh, but its fat. spoiling the sleek look of the hd2. and bout samsung, its probably cause their screens are bit smaller n the batteries are around 1500mAh compared to hd2's 1230mAh? One thing i dont understand though is why the hd2's standard battery couldnt be buffed up just a tiny bit to at least 1500mAh..
[HD2 General] PepsiM:
When I flashed CleanEx it improved my battery time. Touch X-Treme did the same thing. Also you should deactivate all auto-update stuff.

Then it could be that your HTC HD2 lasts a day ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bobokonijn:
Hello all,

I have a Htc Touch Diamond (Rom 2.03.404.3 NLD, Radio 1.11.25.01) that I use with the GSM protocol only (I have 3g disabled for power consumption reasons).

My Diamond has the following problems:

- When I pull the USB/Power cable, sometimes the background illumination stays ON. I am unable to switch it off without performing a soft reset.

- Very often it appears that the phone is simply offline even though it displays full signal strength. It doesn't respond to incoming calls and I can't make any outgoing calls. I have to switch the transmitter OFF and ON again in the Comm Manager application before I can use the phone again.

This is a massive p.i.t.a: Sometimes I have been offline several days without knowing it !!! My phone is an unreliable piece of crap and I'm desperate to make it work more reliably. I don't need too many bells and whistles, I just want it to work. I think it is a power management or radio issue. I therefore installed HardSPL and a newer radio version (1.11.25.01) but the situation has not improved.

I am grateful for a tip on which ROM/Radio could solve these reliability issues!

Thanks in advance,

Arthur
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JoOoSs:
Wow, very strange issues!

First, flash this radio : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=USMNPAS1

Second, flash this ROM with MTTY method : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=521941 (It's the best ROM with WM6.1/TF3D 2.1, you can't find more stable)

You have to know too that : when you flash a radio, you have to change too a DLL (rilphone.dll) in WM to link up both. Gen.Y ROM includes 1.13 rilphone, so you will more performance & stability with the 1.13 RADIO.

If yours problems continue, it's maybe a hardware problem, or maybe a SIM problem ? (i already seen SIM card who makes a phone do many bugs)

Hop i've been useful :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bobokonijn:
Thanks, I'll try that.
