I am trying to decide if this is a software or a hardware fault.

A common problem is the rear speaker (used for the phone ring) becoming loose. It's fairly easy to push the connector firmly back in place, but perhaps you should test this first.

One way to test this would be to play some sound files (MP3s etc, at a time when the phone is refusing to ring. If you get no sound or poor quality sound, then I think the connector is loose.

Other problems like the phone going to default ringtonemay or may not be related to the problem. First, do the above test to be sure it's is or isn't a hardware fault.

so i try what do you say and my phone is playing a mp3 file in that time , i looked in the settings and are ok :confused: i don`t know what to say ... i think is a problem on the mp3 files , i don`t know :mad::confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Well that probably removes the possibility of a hardware fault.

I'm afraid I cannot think what else to try.

I assume it does this with all ringtones you choose?

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] homedog:
Yes... i frequently change my ringtones
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
One thing left to try that I can think of is to flash a different ROM. Not the easiest thing to do though if you have never done it before.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bsell1:
your problem may just be the phone itself. My phone also quit ringing, and I found out that it would only play certain ringtones, even though all my ringtones were stock and came with the phone. For some reason, certain ringtones just quit working. By using the standard default ringtone, the phone works just fine.

Is it still possible to get skype for windows mobile 6.5?

I had it in December 2009, unfortanetly it was deleted after my rom update.

And now it can not be downloaded from de skype site. :mad:

Is it possible to download it somewhere else?
[General Questions and Answers] ben_duder:
According to this, Skype have pulled it for no apparent reason. However, as they say you can still use it for Windows Mobile, it can't be too hard to find the most recent version...

Here - try this.

Just found it by searching XDA, it was on an old HD2 thread (go here if you want to read it).

Search first, ask questions later ;)

--------

The 25xxx branch is really nice. Many bugs are fixed, and there are less problems with the new WM6.5 style in the old applications. e.g. Resco explorer's toolbar is displayed completely and is not partially hidden.

I used to flash COM3 up to now, but I am now happier with this branch.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Semseddin:
Is there a way to fix the camera lagging and what is the function of camera loader ? As we all know this is a general issue with htc prophet, not related to this great rom.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] babak00000:
The lag is due to camera loader.

Normally, when you turn your device on, camera drivers are loaded and about 4 MB of RAM (depending on the resolution of your camera) is reserved for the images.

"camera loader" is a little software, which loads the drivers and reserves the RAM before executing the camera, and unloads them and releases the reserved RAM when you close the camera. Thus you will have more RAM when you are not using camera.

The lag is the time it needs to load the drivers and reserve the RAM.

If you want more free RAM, you have to accept the little lag.;)

Hope it to be clear enough.:)

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] silverkiller:
First off let me say, you guys have done a great job in getting this project as far as it has. XDAndroid is great!

As much as I try to use it full time, the battery drain issue is a drag. If i'm lucky ill get about 6 hours with regular use (only keep gtalk and gmail running in the background) but alas this just isnt long enough in my hectic life, as my journeys into public are usually more than 6 hours.

So what are the chances of battery drain improvement? Is there any hope that it can be improved? Some fine tuning with the kernel and the drivers? Or is this as good as it gets?

Keep up the good work guys.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
This project is literally being reverse-engineered... so it's not exactly easy.

Plus, power management always seems to have some fancy proprietary features behind it to be truly robust, which will take a long time for this project to sort out.

It's one of those things that kinda kills a project as well - not that it's killed this project by any means, but it's one of those 800lb gorillas that everyone tries to ignore - mainly because of the difficulty that is inherent.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gm112:
I honestly believe the battery life could be improved. We're still at a rather incomplete stage, after all.. seeing as how we lack GPS, Camera, and complete Bluetooth support? I know there was work recently done to cleanup some low-level kernel parts which improved headset support. I'd say that it's not hopeless because if the G1 can run Android reasonably well, the HTC Touch Pro, Diamond, etc.. all could as well. That's just my take on it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
I didn't mean to imply it couldn't be improved - not by a long shot. Just that it is a mysterious piece in the puzzle.

It's not so cut-and-dry as say GPS - it works or it doesn't. Battery life, it's one of those fuzzy things that seems to be different for everyone. So I certainly hope (and feel) that it can be improved, just don't expect it to happen anytime soon.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gamikzone:
i hope to sell my fuze in the near future, April and buy a g1 yayy.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Not sure how this applies to this thread... or why you would choose a G1 when there's so many better Android devices out there now. But that still doesn't explain why you posted in this thread.

Back to the thread, I'm hoping for some battery drain improvement... the camera, GPS, BT, etc would all be very nice, but I could use Android full time without them. It's exceedingly difficult to use Android full time with the battery in the state it's in.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] BoldFace:
I agree. While I do like the functionality in the state its in, it is not practical for me to use a phone o/s that can't last 6 hours with moderate use. I went back to winmo for the first time in a couple months and was reminded how much better it is at sipping battery life. I hope to use Android full time in the future once battery life gets a bit better.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] one1002:
i am sure the devs will find a solution to this..same goes to certain roms..some said the battery life is bad..but then,the devs managed to fix the battery issue,boom!back to normal..so,i think XDAndroid will improve..just give it some time though..
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] silverkiller:
I'm being hopeful that they can, they've worked wonders before, so I'm sure its possible.

Hoping I get a job in this economic climate as well, then I can buy me a snapdragon powered android beast.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] SergiusGee:
I agree with you totally. I wish I could use Android as a main OS but that's impossible. So many issues, so many bugs!

I would like to thank all the guys who've been working on this project, I guess I'll have a glance on it in several months to see the improvements :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] deathrowz_sri:
First of all its really awesome to have Android running on Winmo.. Like all other users, im also experiencing the heavy battery drain while using android. One other i have noticed is the my fuze gets really heated up while using Android. Does anyone know why?

Lets hope the developers out there will be able to put together a decent xdandroid with gps and bluetooth anytime soon and will be able to fix the battery drain.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
I used to have insane heat issues when I first started running Android, but it's gotten much better for me.

Do you run wifi a lot? I know people were complaining about that heating up the device, which is kind of expected.

As far as the cause of the heat issue, I don't think anyone really *knows* why. There's a lot of issues, the main one being this is not exactly a "manufacturer-sanctioned" project - which means the devs working on this project are pretty much making educated guesses on everything. Power management has made great improvements, but still has some way to go.

I'm not sure if this project is ever going to become a "complete" replacement for WinMo, I sure hope that it one day is... but I'm not holding my breath.

With that said, I love the work the devs have done. I'm extremely impressed that the project has made it this far, so there really is no telling how far it can go or where it will end.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] wormwizzle:
Battery

There is really only one thing I have to say.....I'm not going to dwell on the fact PEOPLE cant get the camera etc.....to work. That really to me doesn't really matter.

The thing that does get me and bother me.....Is the fact that the geniuses that work at/for XDA are so worried about every else to work for xdandroid......EXCEPT the battery....lmao. Now I can deal with not being able to use the camera or GPS or whatever the case may be, but if I have 5 hours to enjoy it twice a day.......WTF....lol.....

Now I'm not trying to piss anybody off because every developer here works hard at what they do...props to them. But come one you should really prioritize the things you fix.

In short if you have 5 hours to use something that is half way done compared to 2 days to use on something halfway done......Who in this forum would be WAY more excited....lol....be honest.

This is just a suggestion....and I'm not trying to piss anybody off....but come on.....think about it.....people wouldnt want their camera to work for 5 mins and then have to charge their phone jus to make a phone call...lol.

Congrats to all the developers on all the good work they have did so far. I know its hard work to do esspecially for free. But really good job guys. I know it must be hard. Cause my thing is computers so I know phones are in a whole different
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ragingclue:
Yeah I'd have to agree that the battery drain is what is probably going to be a deal killer for me. The work to make all of the features (pretty much) function is impressive to say the least. Right now I'm running the 3/31 Eclair build and the super light ROM on my Fuze just to boot to linux, but it looks like I'll have to make sure to employ a full WinMo ROM with the Gen.Y Dual Boot. Not sure if there are issues with having functions enabled in the WinMo settings when trying to use Android, but hopefully it won't be too bad switching between the two. I know with my Rhodium it was impossible to really keep two fully functional builds up and running without having to boot into WinMo, disable a whole bunch of stuff, then finally run Haret.

Hopefully now that most of the features have been solved, power management come a bit more to the forefront, but you can't really expect great strides in short periods of time there. It's gonna take a lot of work and as mentioned earlier, power management and efficiency is some of the hardest stuff to crack. But seeing what these guys have already accomplished, I have faith. Until then, it's back to my NRG roms.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] stinebd:
Whether you're trying to or not, this kind of post really does piss me off. You have no idea what you're talking about if you say that nobody is trying to squeeze more battery life out of these devices.

Try sitting in the IRC channel for a day and watching what everybody in there talks about. Probably more than half of it will be about battery life. We all know it's not great and we all know that users will want a full day out of it. Knowing about it and fixing it are two different things and it's just not easy. There is barely any documentation available about the hardware because it's Windows Mobile, closed-source and for vendors only.

Unless you can sneak into Qualcomm's offices, steal their documentation*, and are willing to dive into the hardware and reverse-engineer the tons of software yourself, stop complaining about it. Constructive criticism is fine. Most of your post is pure complaining and doesn't help anybody or make anybody feel better about their work.

The developers thank you for using and testing this stuff, and in the future if you come across any new breakage, please don't hesitate to report it in the XDANDROID thread. But please do so in a friendly manner. None of the developers want anything to be broken.

* - This post is not meant to encourage anybody to actually plunder any official documentation.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
But, should you work for Qualcomm or any of these companies... we wouldn't mind if some documentation did slip our way :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gm112:
I do not understand why people attack XDAndroid for battery issues when I am sitting at 40% without plugging my phone in for 11h 13m and 33s(looking at it right now). I mean, the situation with the battery is a hell of a lot more better than what Windows Mobile has to offer. I'd be down to a slightly lower percent by this point. And honestly, 12 hours and no need to plug in my phone? That's like a miracle with the RAPH110 :S. The battery itself is too weak to really handle one whole day to begin with. I guess people forget to account for that, too.

In my opinion, I think some people are doing away with BT now that it works and possibly running a ton of items in the background. Which of course, would hinder battery. The only things I have running are the messaging app, google talk, SMS Backup, and yeah. Never do I find myself on Wifi.. I'm always on data. So yeah. The heat issues in Android have gone down, too. Gosh.. it makes me mad that some people are so thoughtless >_<. The battery situation was an issue back in January and February. Not March/April. People seriously need to wake up. Power Management as it stands now can get you through a whole work day without needing to be on charge. I think we should focus more on ironing out bugs, cleaning up code, and adding more functionality. Sorry for the wall of text.. :S It just makes me so angry. Grr. Haha.
