For some reason I am unable to open more than 3 apps at a time. When I open a 4th one of the others close. I am running iLauncher 3.1 and wm6.1 pro. Is it possibly a setting in iLauncher which is causing the problem.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orb3000:
Yes it´s possible.

Also check how many free RAM you have.

I assume you have 64Mb Universal, which leaves you with low RAM if you are running a lot of stuff.

Any home app (spb, titanium, etc) will eat a considerably amount of RAM, try disabling.

Hope it helped,

Well we all know tattoo has only a resistive touch screen. It will never support multi-touch or Pinch to Zoom.

But I've seen some innovative ideas for this.

One is long press and zoom.

: you can long press on screen and you get to drag up or down to Zoom In/Out.

next one is Circular Zoom.

hope we get one of this features on our Tattoo with 2.1 upgrade, and we get it soon.

Please HTC, Upgrade us.:D

if any one has a alternative tool like this to use with 1.6 already, please reply.:confused:
[Click Themes and Apps] moneytoo:
There won't be any system wide solution for this since they most probably won't add such things to the API. Unfortunately they don't care about resistive touchscreens.

One of the alternative browsers (Dolphin or Steel) has pretty cool zooming feature - hold and move to zoom in or out button...
[Click Themes and Apps] terminal 7:
yeah

i have no answer for this but yeah the circular motion to zoom would work just fine,

the old htc touch mk1 and touch dual had this feature.

problem is the apps that were rotational aware were of course windows-ce apps and not portable to android.

now you have mentioned this i do wonder why htc didnt include this feature, it worked so well on resistive screens.

I have been successfully using the Android builds on my TP2 without any issues. However, when I tried Rhobuntu (which is very exciting by the way!), I have had problems since I shut it down to reboot.

When trying to launch any programs that are installed on the SD card, either through a proper cab install or by trying to run Haret off the SD card, I get the following message:

[highlight]

The file 'filename' cannot be opened. Etiher it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.

[/highlight]​

I am still able to access all the files from Windows Mobile 6.5. I can open data files such as mp3 or jpg.

If I try to install a cab file (from the SD card or the main memory after copying it there), it tells me the file is from an unknown publisher etc, and I can choose to continue. However, it then tells me that the installation was unsuccessful.

Prior to using Rhobuntu, I could install and use applications on the SD card with out any problems.

I have searched the forums and the internet, but I can't find any answers that are applicable - plenty of questions like mine though!

One example is on the first page of the Rhobuntu sticky thread, but it appeared to go unanswered:

Ed,

It was I who posted the question in the other thread. Unfortunately, I never got a solution to the problem so I ended up performing a hard reset. :(

I had the same issue again when I ran Rhobuntu so I've pretty much given up on it.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Works after hard-reset

Thanks dicko, walter.

I finally gave up and did a hard reset, and before setting everything up again I tried Rhobuntu again, like dicko had.

This time, I can use Rhobuntu, and go back to Windows, and everything still works. Phew!

Differences between last time and this - I don't know if any of them are relevant:

1/ This time the Windows only has stock Vodafone ROM Win 6.5 plus TomTom as it automatically installed when I put the SD card in. Last time lots of other programs were installed also.

2/ This time I used the latest Rhobuntu release - 19032010 on the fileshare, 18032010 according to the first post that the filed share was linked from. It was xfce. Last time I was using 12032010.

3/ This time I chose Reboot when I was finished with Rhobuntu. Last time I chose Shutdown.

Now to rebuild my Windows system!

Shouldnt bring any problems.

Im still using the 1.13 radio. its the last one that came out for my country and its never given me any trouble.

You can always test 1.17 and see if it improves batterylife and reception/gps. It didnt do anything noticeable for me so i switched back.

(flashing a radio takes about 2minutes and doesnt require the rom to be reinstalled)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arjuunz:
I think its the firmware 1.5, sensehero / modaco!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bt1980:
Yes... none of the 2.1 ROMs currently provide long battery life times. I believe that one of the chefs said it was because of the kernel and that it won't be fixed until HTC releases or leaks an official Hero kernel for Android 2.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
However it also depends on what you think would be a good/adequate battery life.

Personally I charge every night so as long as the phone lasts circa 24 hours it is fine with me.

All 1.5 based roms should give you battery life over 24 hours even with everything turned on.

as for tips:

-turn of wifi when not using it

-turn of mobile internet when not using it

-turn of gps

-always put phone in sleep mode (end button) when not using it

- screen time out turned low

- backlight on low

- kill tasks that run in background

- don't have a bright wallpaper

Just depends how extreme you want to go :)

I have a decent battery life on the rom I am on (see sig) and I use a brightish wallpaper and auto backlight but always turn wifi off when out of the house.

Flashing a new radio file can also help battery life.

Edit: with a bit of use I have lost 5% in the last 8 hours on my phone today
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonasBom:
Mhm too bad i like to use 2.1 ;)

Does 2.1 Roms drain the battery so much more?

Battery life is very important for me...

I am running the original Rom and i had to charge my hero every night, too.

But one day is okay...

Thank you for your tipps (bright wallpapers *lol*, but it make sense^^)

So what are you fav. 1.5 roms? ;)

I put on 3.4 yesterday and ya my battery life was terrible. The only thing is that I hadn't ever updated my radio. Now instead of it being dead within 4-5 hours I've gone over a dozen and my battery is down to 45%, which is pretty good for me. I'm a pretty data intensive with my phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incomer:
if you want to test the battery life, test it 2 days or more!, because the first day every rom(almost..) is draining fast, because then it needs to set up everything etc(idk excactly why)

Even with no use at all I can never get 5% decrease in 8 hours, regardless of whether its a 1.5 or 2.1 ROM. I keep my mobile data on all day and night and with no use at all i lose like 20% battery life in 4 hours.

dark wallpaper..

mobile internet on when browsing needed
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phanes:
@aziz831

Lennyuk´s battery consumption is real. My battery would last 216 hours just in idle. But that would mean just asleep and waiting for a call.

I use WiFi 18/7, I have in that time mobile data enabled, I have a brown wallpaper and my backlight is on lowest level (but I can still see everything). My average loss is 1-1,5 % a hour if I´m in idle with all this enabled. Over night I do disable WiFi and auto sync, that saves a lot of power.

My average time of usage with one load is about 80-96 hours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Well don't believe me then I can't do anything to prove it can I?

but seriously mine is like that, my hero is only 4 months old maybe that makes a difference and I charge it up every night like clockwork, never dropped it or had it overheat.

I run overclock so when screens off it shuts a lot down, but when screens on it has max power :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinlow:
sorry if i sound offended..never mean anything..my hero is 5 months old and i don charge it overnight..i will unplug it once i get the green led light while charging..i set GO TO SLEEP when i press the end call button with spare parts..

but it will just go down like 4-5% overnight (like 7 hours)when the phone is idle regardless of 2.1 or 1.5 rom..

i use the phone mainly for surfing and sms during day time and it cant last me for 6 hours..

i don have any autosync running..everything set to be update manually..

any idea??

p/s : @Lennyuk : sorry for the previous post
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
No worries :)

If your rooted I would get overclock widget and set it up so that it runs high when screen is on and runs low when screens off, this will save you loads of power when your in "sleep" mode.

If your unsure of the settings I can let you know what mine is set to.

This can make a big difference.

Also set your backlight timeout on low ifyou have never touched this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinlow:
i set my backlight off in 15 secs..downloading overclock from market now..

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Add it as a widget on one of your screens (android widget section)

click it

click advanced setting

top section (screen on)

Min - 528000

max - 528000

Tick the differ freq box

Next section (screen off)

Min - 245760

Max - 384000

You probably want to tick "supress notification" as its annoying if you leave it on.

Click auto start on boot

Then the important one

CLICK SAVE (at the bottom of the page)

Then job done :)

I change the theme to "classic" as I think it looks better.

Like LennyUK I have also had a brilliant battery life on Villain. i specifically tested it on v3.3 where I had a 10% drop in battery life over a 36 hour period. From 100% to 90%. I admit I barely used the phone but still sent a few texts and accepted a couple of phone calls. I found that overnight my battery didn't drop at all. If it was at 99% before I went to bed it was at 99% when I woke up. This was monitored through "Battery Graph" which you can get through the market.

If you follow LennyUK's instructions on the first page then you're battery life should barely change. Just be stringent with them! If you're not using it switch it off! Especially WiFi and Mobile Networks & Backlight.

I have found Villain to be better than Modaco, on which I saw little change from my original HTC rom, which was crap...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy89632:
I noticed that the overclock widget have a certain effect on the battery life as well.

Using SenseHero 1.5, before using the widget, I can get up to 1.5 days on the device, but now with the overclock widget, and with all the tweaks being done, like spare parts (go to sleep) and during sleep to lower clock, the battery life Im getting now is 3/4 a day.

Could someone try to remove the overclock widget and restart the phone, test out the battery life and report back? Im going to try out this experiment soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phanes:
In opposite to Lenny I do not use the OverClock widget. I used it with MCR and teknologist´s Kernel 1.7 - 1.9, but since 1.9 it is not possible to adjust the settings like I want it because the Kernel settings overrule the widget settings.

The same effect I noticed on Villain too. Kernel does not allow settings under 480 when screen on. In sleep modus the CPU freq does not fall under 480.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
well mine goes down (at least the widget tells me it does)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phanes:
What settings does the widget show? (Not the settings inside, awake/sleep etc. ..)

Edit: Just tested it once again with two different overclocking widgets. "Open Overclocker" and "OverclockWidget" shows the same (exactly 526.25 on high side and 478.41 on low side)

Edit 2: Something changed, it looks like the OverclockWidget is at least doing something with the CPU freq. When waking up it shows that the freq is at 245.76 and goes up to 478.41.

Edit 3: Lenny is right, it looks like the CPU freq is now between 245 when in sleep modus and 480-527 when awake. But adjustments under "Advanced Setting" will still not apply. Underclocking lower then 245.76 is still not possible, so the given range is still static.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
I am using Overclock Widget and for a few seconds when I wake the phone up it always shows its clocked down to 242 before going back up to the top
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
3 hours since my last report, battery now down an extra 1%

i.e. 3% dropped in last 6 hours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tombriden:
Thought i'd put my findings here too.

Using Villain 3.4 i went into recovery and wiped battery stats. Then let the phone run out of battery and power itself down, charged from a plug socket while off until the light was green, unplugged and turned on.

After 24hrs of use I'm down to 60% which i'm happy with. My usage in those 24hrs is sending 20ish txts (and received about the same), a few calls, wifi internet for about an hour, mobile internet always on, feedr updating every 2 hours and battery graph taking stats every 5mins

Am now going to install overclock widget to see if it makes it last even longer (thanks LennyUK for the info on that)

Concerning battery life..

.. worst Rom ever was KaguDroid 1.2.1 (or 1.2, don't remember exactly..) where I didn't even get a day while barely touching it.

Best Rom so far had been KaguDroid 1.2.3 for me.

With very light usage I got through a whole week with it! (Monday morning till Friday evening)

With normal use I got a bit over 3 Days out of it in average.

I know most people had the same problems with 1.2.3 as I had with 1.2.1, but for me this version somehow fixed everything.

But maybe that's the point here - there probably isn't THE best Rom concerning battery life.

You have to find out for yourselves what's the best for your device.

As said, I drove perfectly with KaguDroid 1.2.3 but I know that maybe 99% of the people were complaining about battery life...

Currently using Villain3.4 and get about 2 days, guess that's petty much okay..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
pretty much ok? 2 days?

Christ these are smartphones people, no smartphone is meant to work all week they all need regularly charging if you comfortably get 2 days out of a device (or more) your laughing.

The main aim in smartphones wherether its iphone (fail), android or blackberry they are meant to work for at least 1 day of any use then you charge it.
