[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Exca:
I have read some threads about htc devices and their battery- life and behaviour and i didn't really read about the problem i'm having.

The device (topaz) is about 2 weeks old and i'm fairly satisfied with the batteryperformance. Playing with it for about ten minutes would make my battery drop about 5% which is very reasonable.

But lately - speaking of 3 days - i have this weird issue; the battery drains like hell; when i send 1 text message the device can drop 5-6%; which is quite much and absolutely a heavy fall suddenly, compared to what it used to be.

Also, when charging the battery, from 0-70% goes very fast, like about 10 minutes. The other 30% go slow.

I configure the device like this:

- GSM mode

- No wifi

- No bluetooth

- no data connection

System: beam is switched off, data only goes through 'my work network' and band is switched to GSM (which means no 3G - again)

My experience happens when i have no other applications (like GPS) running, and I also have G-light enabled (polling 100ms, mostly 40% backlight, and i have this running since day 1)

I did switch my rom quite often; but I always performed hard-reset and battery calibration afterwards.

installed in current order:

- Touch InCall

- Tomtom navigator

- ageye g-light

- TD2 tools (large cache settings)

- Taskbaricon 6.5.3

- Zenyee disable HTC messaging

Roms used: Dutty R6-R7

Radio: 4.49.25.17, 4.49.25.57
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pa49:
There are some rather aggressively power hungry ROMs and the culprit is mainly Touch flow/HTC sense.

Turn it off for a test and see if there is a difference!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] alfo7:
Well, I do experience similar problem. My battery charges for 70% very fast and at 70% it seems to stay forever. (whole night) :( I haven't done anything to my phone yet. I have it just like it came from T-Mobile. I didn't install any additional application besides sbp backup. I do keep my memory running at around 40% all the time. I have Win6.1 and TF3D on. TF3D is T-Mobile customed, so not sure what manila it is based on.

Please, anybody, do you have other suggestion as what the problem may be?

I want to flash the ROM, yet with these issues I am still reconsidering. If it is faulty battery I would rather go and exchange it as it is still in warranty.

Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S.> If anybody can help me to extract my Radio and back it up I would appreciate. Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] georgeono:
does anyone know a link to how to keep the battery in tip-top shape. I know there is a post somewhere on xda, but really don't want to look over about 1300 posts to find that. Can someone help me?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
"Battery calibration is simply done by running it down completely until the phone shuts off by itself. Then remove the battery, wait 10 seconds, insert again, repeat. If the phone shuts off again in less than a few minutes you're done. Remove battery and hold power button for 1 minute, then insert battery. Don't switch on the phone. Plug the charger and recharge the battery fully until the green light is on. Then remove battery, hold power button for few seconds, insert it and switch on the phone..."
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] georgeono:
thanks for the tip. will try that. Still, a link for battery tips? I remember a post where a member explained how the battery works I am interested in knowing if it is better to drain the battery or when the battery is lo/very low it would be advised to recharge ...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Here is a link on the Wiki regarding battery consumption.

With Li-Ion batteries it is not recommended to discharge completely as it is with NiCad every 30 cycles.

If you have flashed another ROM that has changed your radio ROM, i.e. you've flashed an official ROM, the Radio ROM will be your culprit for increased battery drain. A weaker radio will constantly have to search for the best network and thus use more battery.

For a few power saving tips;

1. Setup sync times instead of pushing emails.

2. Make sure your data disconnects after use (a few programs out there for that)

3. Set your power settings to turn device off at select times of inactivity

4. Increase your file cache size.

5. Enable auto screen lock
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] georgeono:
how do you enable auto screen lock? I'd rather not use TD2 Tools. is there any other way?
[General Topics] DeoreDX:
I'm trying to get my phone to show sent mail with my Gmail account. I'm using activesync and direct push with my Gmail account. I have the "save a copy of sent items" box check marked but it doesn't do anything. I went into the "Manage Folders" tool and looked for my "Sent Mail" folder to checkmark to tell my phone to sync the sent mail folder. It was not showing up in my list of folders. There was a "sent items" folder and Iselected the "sent items" checkmark to sync it but that doesn't seem to do anything. I tried manually adding the "Sent Mail" folder and checkmarked it to sync, but after I did that I got nothing but errors from Activesync and I couldn't send or receive mail any more. The error code it was throwing up was 0x85010015. I had to uncheck my email from the activesync options to essentially delete all my email and then rechecked it to re-add my email to be able to resync. Still no Sent Mail folder.

I'm not sure what to do next. Any help tips or advice would be much appreciated.

Do not buy any 16GB MicroSDHC Cards, they just try to cheat us.... Those 32GB are ready just not released because they do not want to sell the 16GB for nothing...
[HD2 Accessories] globalgpj:
How to gauge what the battery drain is beind used by a SD Micro Card ?

Is there a software to track usage i.e. milliamps/hr or whatever ?

Or is the fact that the sd card only sucks power in a greater way, when one has applications installed on it, which the device needs to monitor ?

I know that if you have a Class 6 card, then the transfer rates are higher and would make sense that you require less power to conduct read/write etc...

I heard that some people have said that some SD brands use more power consumption than others? On what grounds are these assertions being made?

Anyone has any info ?

[HD2 General] deadmetal:
Looks like you will have to flash a radio rom too.

Look in the HD2 rom development section. The radio roms thread should be stickied near the top of trhe first page.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dkdontforget:
ok this just started happening a few min ago there is no alert whatsoever the phone is not ringing for any alert and wont vibrate. but the vibrate still works and i hear sounds from other things such as my media player. i tried changing the ringtone but it resets itself to ring01-windowsphone and i tried setting it to a custom ringtone...nothing! i tried a soft reset. still :(. all my volumes are up so i dont know what to do

im running the stock tmobile 6.5 rom

also it started happening when i disconnected it from mass storage mode

EDIT:i just found out my windows media player will not open

so the standard windows mobile media player is broken. i try opening it and nothing. not even a error message. is there a cab where i can reinstall it? anything but a dreaded hard reset would be nice
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] prubin:
Same problem here - Hard Reset was the only option.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dkdontforget:
are you running the same rom? beacuse ive seen other post where this has happened and its a reoccurring issue even after hard resets. so if this is going to happen again im calling tmobile and getting a new TP2 with the stock 6.1 rom. i really dont want to hard-spl cus i have a feeling somethings going to happen where i have to return the phone and i dont want to have to go thru the hassle of undoing spl

and if my only option is to hard reset is there something where i can backup all my apps. cus i dont even remember where i got half my apps from and they take so long to install
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Use a 3rd-party app like SPB Backup, that will do a full backup of your current os state, including installed programs.

For the future, I'd recommend creating a "cabs" folder at the root of your storage card, whenever you get a new app/tweak just download the cab straight to that folder, run it from there, and just leave it in there for archiving purposes...you'll always have any of them again, immediately accessible in situations like this :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dkdontforget:
thank you for the app advice. ill use that next time. i use to have a apps folder i put them all in but my SD card stopped working so i had to format. i updated to a energy rom and it basically has everything i need. and more :) except groove fish, which i cant live without! so ill download that later.

i didnt really like the tmobile 6.5 rom and compared to this. that rom was CRAP!

also i looked for about 3 hours for a fix on the media player. and nothing really so best bet is to hard reset

[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
What I am looking for is something I can fill in with all the medications that need to be taken during the course of a 24hr period and have the system prompt me with a pop-up at the appropriate time to do just that. It would also be nice if it could keep track of the quantity of each medication and remind me to re-order in sufficient time.

Spent ages searching online for some software and while I have found this OnTimeRx, it is not pretty and personally is lacking a function or two, not to mention it is very Americanised.

The missing functions for me are:

The reminder function for re-order is hard coded at 5 days, need this to be editable.

It is incapable of coping with the situation where you take one of a tablet at breakfast and then two of the same tablet at tea time. It will allow you to take 2 tablets, twice a day and set a reminder for each but not differing quantities.

Generally not finger friendly.

Anyone up for the challenge or able to suggest something else?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tito12:
Hi Deedee

Isn't it something that calendar can handle, with recurrence functions and notifications. As for order reminder, after you have calculated once how many pills or whatever you need in a month or week, you can also set a recurrence and reminder.

Correct me if I'm wrong or missed something.

Anyhow, good health and good luck :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
Thanks for the concern over my health.

While it is something that could be managed by careful manipulation of calendar, reminders and recurrence, the solution being sought is something that would have all the medical details in one place. Ideally something that can also manage emergency contact details as well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gidii:
Hi,

I own a Nexus One and.. I love it. Though, I'd like more control; I don't like the regular home, widgets, apps and icons. So while I'm typing this I thought; why not create a list of the best apps/home/widgets/icons, except games, out there on the market.

If you like the idea, please send me a pm with a list of the apps/home/themes etc you think are good.

- Please send either a link with it or the complete name so I can find it and link it.

If this idea gets shot down, close the thread. If it doesn't, I think we can create a good list of apps for people that can't filter out the better apps on the market.

As you can see, I have put the focus on Home; it's where everything starts.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Sensonic:
I changed the housing of my TyTn II because the old one was really worn.

Now when I have a brand new housing, the internal GPS is not working anymore. So I'd like to know where it's located (physically) in the phone in order to check the connection/replace it.

Thanks a million in advance!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] dcarr622:
Either way you're going to have to take that thing apart again lol...not very fun :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] zenity:
I believe the rear speaker housing doubles as wifi and gps antenna, underneath the speaker housing there should be 4 gold plated contacts, which connect to the mainboard by 4 matching gold plated spring contacts, ( 2 are close to the camera, left side, and the other two are on the top left corner by the external antenna connectors).

It's possible the spring contacts have broken off, or got trapped when replacing the rear housing, they are rather brittle, if they are broken then your probably looking at a very difficult repair, since the only way I can think of is to find a dead mainboard and desolder the connectors, and transfer them to your mainboard, if they are trapped then maybe you will be able to straighten them, but this may break them anyway.

it's also possible that the speaker housing is just not fitted properly at the left side, and this may be enough to prevent the antenna from getting a connection.

I'd remove the screw beside the camera, carefully remove the speaker housing, and have a look, (if you got a new speaker housing try the old one as well ).

Why is it when I turn on wifi using the android stock widget I have to actually open the wifi menu in the settings app before it auto-connects?

Might be a bug, else it's a pointless button. Well it's useful to turn it off, but why would auto-connect be disabled?
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
I noticed this too... if you stay on that home screen with the widget and wait after turning it on, it will auto connect, but if you move off that home screen or open an app or do anything, it will not auto-connect.

I think it is just a bug, since that isn't the way it worked in previous builds.

[Nexus One General] Antiskunk:
I find it so strange how every Nexus one, while sharing the same OS and build, manages to be so different from each other.

Also, does anyone else feel like they're moving back into the realms of the G1, aka less-than-half-baked release? Methinks Google forgot the self-raising flour when baking their cakes.

There are so many bugs it's hard to believe they get away with it. If it weren't for the fact that it's Google branded I probably would have abandoned Android with the G1.
[Nexus One General] Antiskunk:
Yeah it auto-connects for me if I stay on the same screen but any movement after pressing the button cancels the action. Anyone know a fix?

Maybe cyanogen could fix it in his ROM.
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
Mine connects fine from the widget. I'm using the default one that starts on your desktop with Android 2.1.

In terms of "not baking their cakes," keep in mind that this is still a pretty early release for Android overall, a very new release for Android 2.0, and the very first release for the Nexus One. Android already handles as much as your leading OS, even though it's very new and on such unique hardware. Growth is to be expected; patience is a virtue.
[Nexus One General] dylanfan424:
I believe it has something to do with rooting because mine connected fine before rooting but now i have to open settings for it to connect now after root.
[Nexus One General] Antiskunk:
It can't be as I haven't rooted my phone yet, I'm waiting for the OTA update first (or for it to included in a ROM).
[Nexus One General] Antiskunk:
Yeah I know; I suppose i'm just picking faults. I think it's somewhere in between WinMo and Iphone OS.

Don't get me wrong, they're nothing alike, and Android is worlds apart, but what I mean is; Windows mobile is massively customisable (even from stock), but it's full of bugs and pretty ugly and sluggish. The iPhone is extremely restricting but is more appealing. Android lands somewhere between those realms; being relatively customisable (yet "easy" to hack and change) and also pretty.

I have to admit I was impressed with android from day one, where it had been released for such a short period of time and still had fewer bugs than winMo and more features than the iPhone.

It's just those small things/bugs that niggle at you until it drives you crazy :P
