Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply,

I tested it over night and over a 6hr period, battery drain was approx 50%. With SENSE showing. Task manager showed my SEVEN push email app running, but this was the case before i put MS back onto the device.

I have just uninstalled MS and will see if i get longer than 6hrs from now for the remainder of the day.

I did notice though that after re-booting my HD2 that the MS would load then sometimes flick to SENSE on its own as part of the booting process, which is why i thought that they both run concurrently, just one set to the background (in standby or something like that)

I'll report back within 12hrs.

Again, thanks for making this cab, and this dilemma is not caused by your app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GLO:
Hi,

I conducted the same test overnight, and with SPB MobileShell 3.5 uninstalled my battery went from 100% to 90% over 8 hours.

Push email was still active

Your cab was still installed but obviously not used.

Im surprised that SPB S3.5 is suck a battery drain.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mskip:
Hopefully those sorts of problems will be fixed in v5.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fontizzle:
yess!

Just excellent!...As usual..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] corail79:
Thank you so much :) I am a big fan of SPB Mobile shell but lately I was thinking to use TouchFlo3D without uninstalling SPB mobile shell. This program is very useful for me.

Pointui 2.0 is also a Today plugin startup. Androkkid is not. I have both on my phone. Any chance of adding Pointui & maybe a blank option to allow manually starting UIs that aren't Today plugins?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TechnoHippie:
I like the idea of this software - and have one request.

When I switch between HTC Sense and my Today Screen - what would be really really nice is if this thing remembered the today-plugin's I'd selected.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s_v_l:
Thanks mskip for sharing. It works fine.

I have the similar program named ShellSwitcher.

It restore active MS Today plug-ins when you switch back to the Today screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] treetop777:
This don't work very well on a M2D cooked ROM ported to the Omnia i910. I also have MS 3.5.3. installed and the shortcut of this app work fine, in fact, it's the only solution that would actually launch MS3 and keep it on-top. Unfortunatly, it does that at the expense of unloading (unchecking) touchFLO so there is no way to switch back to M2D without going back into the phone's settings and checking (check-mark) TouchFlo again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mskip:
So your problem is that after you switch from TouchFLO using the links or program, you cant then switch back to TouchFLO using the Sense/TouchFLO switcher? What does it do exactly? Does nothing happen or does the program close Mobile Shell but not load TouchFLO?

The only thing I can think of is that the registry settings are different on your Omnia than the standard settings.

If you can answer these questions then hopefully I can fix the problem as the program has been set to switch TouchFLO/TouchFLO3D/Sense.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] treetop777:
Exactly!! I have to go back into the phone settings and re-enable touchFLO.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Do you have a wwe rom? I have a spanish rom and i had to modify the script a bit (as windows default has another name in registry), but now it works perfectly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] treetop777:
Yes, (world wide English). Is there a new cab? May i test it..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mskip:
Do you have a registry editor?

If you do can you export the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items folder.

Just rename the .reg file to .txt and you can attach it in this thread.

If you dont then you need to tell me what the TouchFLO folder is called within the items folder. A registry dump would be much better though as I can see what else may be conflicting with it.

I can then see what settings need adjusting to get your version to work.

Max Sense and CHT Support ?

thx. mskip this app should do the trick with the home screen. But i have one question is it work with Sense UI mod’s such as CHT and Max Sense ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mskip:
it will work fine with max sense and CHT because they are just mods for htc sense and not seperate programs.

request for manila 2015

Hi MSkip,

Thanks for your cab. This is the best shell switcher around.

Could you adapt your cab for manila 2015. The directory in the today items has changed to Sense (instead of HTC Sense) Could you adapt your mscr files with this 4th option so it is working with manila 2015. I've tried it out with changing the mscr files in your cab from HTC Sense to Sense and it is working perfect. So i think that if you ad the lines for Sense it will work on all manila versions.

I think that many users would be thankful if the cab will work on the newest Sense.

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Danielfr:
Hi Herlek,

Yes, it doesn't work with the new Sense.

Where have you found a *.mscr file in the Cab? I have only *.xml and *.001-009 files in the Cab?

Thanks and Greetings from Belgium.

Daniel
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mskip:

please do reply..any help will be greatly appriciated
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mskip:
TouchFLO/Sense and Mobile Shell are both Today Screen plugins and cannot be run at the same time. You have to disable one in order to run the other one.

Sorry but your request just isnt possible.

Do you have a WWE rom or a different language Rom?

Do you have Spb Mobile Shell installed?

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Hi Mark

I have modded your script a bit to make it work for my spanish rom, and have also included ThrottleLauncher to switch. On the other side, when removing the spb mobile shell link from the startup folder, when ms was active it would not start anymore by itself when rebooting. So i included a registry write of the current shell in your script, and made a small script to place in the startup folder, which reads this registry, and if ms was active it will be started.

I include both scripts for your convenience (maybe you could integrate this ms startup fix in a next release).

Cheers

[XPERIA X10 General] SpineXT:
Today I noticed the lock on the X10 is changeable. Basic setting is dragging from left bottom to right middle, but if you prefer from right bottom to left middle (since you’re left-handed or you prefer it for some reason) this is how to get it fixed.

1. Lock your phone

2. Put your finger on the end of the swipe bar (right-middle part of the screen)

3. Drag the bar to the left

4. Release the bar

5. All done.

Now your phone-unlock is left-hand-proof :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] majoraccent:
For the last several weeks I've been having a battery drain issue with multiple ROMs, which is why I'm posting this (again) as a Android Development issue rather than in a ROM-specific thread.

Hardware: original 32B MyTouch 3G, from T-Mobile

Original ROM: Enomther's TheOfficial TMO

"Since flashing 2.6.1 and then 2.6.2, I've been having severe battery life issues, where when left alone the phone will drain completely within 7 or 8 hours. I've done much testing, and this is definitely not a battery meter calibration issue. I'm running Tmo, with RAM Hack. I've tried wiping and reflashing, picking out just about all third party apps, etc with no luck. I tried completely disabling location services via wifi/gps/cell, with no luck. Bluetooth/wifi are off, I tried both 2g and 3g only modes. The only hint I have is that under the battery usage screen, "Android OS" takes up anywhere from 60-80% so something is causing it to activate and not let the phone idle. Cyanogenized frequency scaling is on.

Running top -t shows "er.ServerThread" from process system_server usually leading the list, but the "top" process takes up the most CPU when I'm running it, so it appears to use 0% cpu."

Then I tried Dwayne's ROM, had the same problem. I then flashed TheOfficial AOSP, which seemed to fix the problem, but now it crops up again intermittently. Same battery drain but instead of 70% "Android OS usage I get about 30% "Android OS" and 30% "Cell Standby". I've tried uninstalling k9mail (the only background app), removing widgets, turning off sync, turning off location, and I can't track down what's causing this problem. It even seems to happen in airplane mode.

Some cursory searching on google shows that people are having the same types of issues on the Motorola Droid and on the Nexus One. Does *anyone* have suggestions on how I can track down what exactly is causing this increased power demand? I'm not afraid of the command line, but I couldn't find anything in addition to what I mentioned above.

Anyone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TexasPriest:
My apologies is this has been posted before. I am trying to upgrade the sd card in my phone (MT3G), using theunlockr.com instructions found here:

http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/ho...-android-when-using-swap-hero-and-or-apps2sd/

So here is my problem. I put the new card in the phone and follow the instructions. But when it’s time for me to connect the new card to my PC, my PC will not read the card unless I format the card first (FAT32 is the only format option it gives me). I get this same error when plugging the card into the PC or using the mass storage option from the phone’s recovery screen. So I chose to format the card so the PC would see it and I could load the ROM back on to it. Now the phone does not want to mount the sd card.

So I start over again. I plug the new sd card into the phone and wipe, partition with no problems. But when it’s time to convert ext2 to ext3 I get this error : “run update_fs via consel”. What does this mean and how do I accomplish this?

How do I get the sd card to be readable from both the phone and the PC?

Thank You

I was trying to set a ringtone but all I could use was the ones that came with the phone, can someone help me onb how to set a one out of my music?

-Metta
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Hi Metta,

To add a custom ringtone, you need to copy the file to the Windows / Rings folder.

To add a custom message tone, you need to copy the file to the Windows folder.

Once the files are in the folder(s) above, you can select it as you would a normal ringtone/message tone.
[HD2 General] Metta24:
Thanks for this mate really helpfull :)
[HD2 General] greg1fraser:
goto where your music is located and hold ur finger down on the one you want and it should come up with a menu set as defult ringtone if not use mp3 trimmer to crop it to what you want hit options and save hope this way helps too
[HD2 General] Metta24:
Thanks alos Greg I will keep that in mind :).
[HD2 General] Sik96teG:
An easier way that i have used on many WM devices is to just make a "My Ringtones" folder in the root section of your sd card and any music u add to it will show up on the device as a ringtone. That way u are not taking up any space on the device.
[HD2 General] Metta24:
Good point, but for the sake of one song and when changed simply deleting the one you don't want is not to much imo.
[HD2 General] Shum97:
Thanks bud, iv just been puting them in root of my sd card. This makes things easier now:)
[HD2 General] Sik96teG:
True but when you can have hundreds of ringtones on the sd card and you can use them to set different songs for people in your address book it makes life alot easier. Also it is one less thing to setup if you load different roms or reset your device.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RaQHoliday:
First off, yes I did a search, both on XDA and via Google, and I turned up plenty of mentions, but no actual links.

The official AIM app for Android was released a while back, and it worked great (for me anyway); well, lo and behold my N1 was stolen on Sunday (bastards... WaveSecure's gonna put'em in jail tho), and I just got my replacement today. After rooting and flashing CM 5.0.6 and trying to restore everything to the way it was pre-theft, wouldn't you know it, the app no longer seems to be on the market. Anybody got the APK? Got it installed and can link up a copy from an Astro backup? It'd be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Yes I know there are other apps that provid AIM functionality. Yes I know about the issues many have had with the official app. Yes I'm still pissed that my N1 was stolen. Yes I'm gonna be selling an N1 for a low price once I get the stolen one back (and I'm praying I do). Thx for your concern and your help.

When I can't find an app in the Market I can usually get the app wit Market Enabler and switching back and forth with T-Mobile and AT&T. It will usually work for at least one reboot if I fake a provider, reboot, fake the same provider again after the boot, open Market. T-Mobile is 310260. At&t is 310410.

BTW and off topic, does anyone know a place to find a list of ALL the different gsm.sim.operator.numeric values for all the world's Android Markets? That would be a big help.

Anyway, here's the official AIM app. Enjoy.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sistum Id:
Hmmm, I just typed AIM and it was the first app in the Market to download.

As for selling the stolen phone, doesn't the IMIE or whatever its called get blacked listed/banned?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RaQHoliday:
That's interesting... it's now showing up for me as well. It looked like a newer version than the one I installed though, it prompted me to "update" to 1.5.5.1 I believe it was; Astro shows the version I downloaded yesterday as being v1.5.5.1 however. Wierd.

I kid you not though, it wasn't showing up yesterday. I even went to the AIM mobile site and tried to get it via the QR code on the page, market found nothing. Odd.

Edit: Also, about the other phone... that's a good question. I guess we'll see if/when the other N1 is returned to me. *shrug*
[HD2 General] MattSus328:
I use the program Videora/Red Kawa to convert dvd's to my HD2. The Movie loaded on my phone with no problem and the Video looks great but the audio on the movie is really choppy. Also the raw version of the movie plays fine on i tunes, the audio sounds perfect but on the HD2 its really choppy. The steps I took to transfer the movie are as follows... Put DVD in computer, Run Movie Decryption program, Run Videora/Red Kawa program, It transfered the movie to a file, I copied and pasted movie to memory card by using the USB cable. Like I said everything worked perfect but when I play the movie through the movie player that Transformers is on, it looks great but sounds horrible. I also tried playing the movie through Windows Media Player and the same thing happened, the sound was really choppy. If anyone knows what I can do or what I should have done different, I would really appriciate the feedback. Thanks.
[HD2 General] Teh_BaK:
You may be using too higher data rate for the HD2 to be able to process it fast enough (wether thats down to media bandwith or processing abilitys). If you have TCPMP, try the benchmark option and see how fast it runs, if its no faster than normal play, you're likely to need to lower the bitrate of the films.
