Having the same battery issues with the calendar. Also not solved by a factory reset (although I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get the desire back up and running after the hard reset)
[Desire General] atconc:
Just to say I sent basically the same email through the customer services section of the website today too to hopefully help bring attention to the problem.

I'm on a Desire from T-Mobile UK, flashed to the generic HTC ROM using the goldcold method
[Desire General] gleepface:
Force killing the calendar application actually hardly ever seems to stop it for me. That's not cool.

And when it's not available as an option, opening the calendar app and then trying again doesn't make it show up.

This is very annoying indeed.
[Desire General] gens6200:
New suspect: Flickr?

I got my replacement handset on monday - 3 i Denmark considered the other one DOA because of the calendar issue.

Unfortunately, when I booted the replacement and logged in to all the different services it behaved in the same way - It wasn't sleeping and calender seemed to be the culprit (as seen in battery console).

I did a quick factory reset and this time I only turned on one service at the time (first nothing -> then exchange sync -> then google mail, calender without events, contacts -> added event to calendar -> Facebook for HTC Sense -> Twitter). I rebooted a few times to test thoroughly between logging in to each of these services - and the phone went to sleep correctly all the way through.

The last thing I logged into was Flickr sync - and after doing that the phone stopped sleeping. Logging out and rebooting and it worked correctly again. I've gone back and forth - logging on and off - quite a few times now, and the results are the same - Flickr sync is causing the issue for me. It shows as calendar i 'partial wake' in the battery console (*#*#4636#*#*). But removing the Flickr sync and rebooting produces a permanently working handset.

Would someone please test this to confirm? Maybe it's just a case of different handset, different issue. But so far this has been pretty consistent across different handsets and even ROMs.

Still - Gotta love Android for how easy it is to get things up and running after a reset or even a new phone!
[Desire General] atconc:
have removed my flickr acct, will see how it goes today and update

Edit: disabled FLickr sync, still have sense facebook syncing + all google syncs + twidroid checking in background.

After almost an hour of mostly letting the phone sit in sleep mode (occasionally waking up to see the battery usage screens) it's still on 99& battery.

About phone shows up: 52 mins awake: 7 mins

battery history shows:

Running 9.8% and the partial wake lock use has a small bar for android system and calendar

Looks promising that disabling Flickr sync is helpful

Edit 2 Uptime 2:45, battery level 95, running 11.2% - calendar wakelock time 57s

Looks like Flickr sync is the cause of the wakelock, very pleased with the life now it's not staying partially awake
[Desire General] desgrassia:
how did you "disable" it? did you just uncheck the two checkboxes from frind connect, or did you actually remove the account? and did you stop calendar task afterwards or just let it running?

thank you, I am trying like you to solve these battery issues :(
[Desire General] atconc:
I completely removed the flickr account for now then rebooted. Didn't kill any tasks and have 2 calendar widgets that are refreshing ok. Can live without flickr more than I can live with out calendar :)
[Desire General] desgrassia:
thank you again :) I am trying this way now

will let you know if it has been succesful for me too :)
[Desire General] gens6200:
Settings>Accounts & Sync>Flickr. Then press remove account at the bottom of the screen and reboot the phone. I haven't played around with the other two checkboxes, but if you do please report back :)

I didn't touch anything else - Meaning that I'm syncing with everything included with Sense as well as my work Exchange account.
[Desire General] yurikg:
Removed Flickr account as advised and looks like my calendar (in battery history) is behaving itself. Improved battery life anticipated!

Much thanks to gens6200 for figuring it out
[Desire General] smeeg:
I have been following this thread pretty much since it started as I was also having the same issues. I checked my Calendar app and the running services and found that I had the same problem and that stopping them increased the battery life massively. I notified HTC of this problem and they "are investigating".

I also found that the Stock app, even though I don't use it, would also start the Calendar connection service and that it would not force stop unless I first also stopped the Stock app. I thought it had been sorted.

As I had also got the Desire for my daughter to use I thought I would show her how to increase the battery life but upon checking hers she didnt have the service running and was indeed getting almost double the battery life I had been experiencing.

Today I check this thread and find that the culprit looks to be Flickr which I have now removed and will monitor as previously the Calendar Running Service would restart itself randomly without me knowing so had to be constantly checked. Hopefully this will sort it until HTC find the "fix" that is needed instead of the workaround we are using. This does fit the bill as the culprit because it is about the only service/app that my daughter has never set up on her phone.

Let's watch and see, I will report back in a day or two with the observations I make
[Desire General] desgrassia:
before trying to completely disable it, I tried unchecking the 2 boxes and calendar "life" was the same. I removed account and now it effectively goes into standby! So this seems to be THE workaround :)

thank you again
[Desire General] atconc:
+1 thanks Gens

5hrs since boot battery level 87
[Desire General] choccy31:
I don't have Flickr so not good for me lol
[Desire General] KrewCial:
I have a Flickr account set up, but it still goes to sleep ok and barely any decrease in battery (full bars, went to bed, woke up ~8 hours later, still full bars, although shortly after it dropped to 9 :p ).
[Desire General] zippyijk:
Thanks for the update Gens :)

I have a flickr account set up too, so I have removed it, will do a power off and charge tonight.

Hopefully it fixes it!

Thanks very much for the time you've invested in working on the problem so far, great to see techies helping techies :)
[Desire General] streetdaddy:
2 hours since disabling Flickr account, rebooting and renabling calendars. Already huge improvement in sleep time and battery drain... THANKYOU!
[Desire General] yurikg:
If you still want to view your flickr photos via the photos app, add the flickr account without ticking the "sync stream"/"contacts" buttons and it seems to work without causing the partial wake issue
[Desire General] gleepface:
Unplugged my charger at about 11am, and it's still at 45%. I'm happy with that, considering the phone is a day old so the battery hasn't had much use yet, and I used my phone an average amount.

Seems flickr really does make a huge huge difference :D Needn't have sent back my other one really :LOL:
[Desire General] gens6200:
Same here - But I guess a few DOAs will help HTC pay attention to this.

I used my phone a LOT yesterday - And this morning I still have 40% left - And this is also a new handset, so the battery hasn't been completely broken in yet (not sure I believe in that anyway).
[Desire General] gleepface:
The only thing about mine now is, last night it only charged to 96%, and I had to take the charger out and put it back in to charge it to 100%

Not sure if this is a problem or not.
[Desire General] baronb:
This also made a big difference for me!

Is there a way to get WiFi to auto shut off and revert after a period of time. I woul dlike to use it when home, but it drains the battery quite quickly and I forget to turn it off sometimes.
[Desire General] atconc:
If you go to settings - wireless - WiFi then press the menu button again and you will get an "advanced" option. In there you can set wireless sleep policy. I think the default had it going off after 15 mins in sleep mode which should save power

[Desire General] pav1978:
I'm just on the phone to the customer support team and the lady suggested i buy 'task killer' from the apps market to stop all apps running
[Desire General] pav1978:
Lady was bloody useless... i told her my phone is using over 25% charge when its in airplane mode overnight.. and asked her if this is normal? she said the phone will always try to connect to the network and use battery doing that?! have i got my wires crossed here?
[Desire General] jklondon:
battery life got exponentially better over the first two weeks of use - getting around 2 days with normal use so pretty happy

[Touch 3G ROM Development] maxallepi:
Hi, I have this problem if anyone knows what i can do to fix this it will be a big help.

First i run CustomRUU with the 6.5 rom in the same folder.

All goes well till it starts to upgrade. As soon as the progress bar appears the HTC goes on standby and the usb connection is lost, thus the upgrade fails telling me to check the usb connection.

Now, i have unchecked the standby modes on the phone via the power configuration and disabled the standby on the PC and still this problem appears.

Does anyone know why this happens? And is there anything i can do to prevent this?

Thanks.
[Touch 3G ROM Development] tropical cactus:
Have you done hardspl?
[Touch 3G ROM Development] maxallepi:
Yep, i tried that too but it didn't work. I synced the phone up with windows mobile device center then opened hardspl(Jade-HardSPL_V5_20R3_232HSPL) in "run as admin", tried both automatic and manual and got a message saying to make sure the phone was properly synced which it was. I also installed enablerapinew which didn't make a difference.

I have the jade 3G btw.

I can understand what the problem might be :mad: .

Any other thought??
[Touch 3G ROM Development] tropical cactus:
If you're using WMDC, I assume you're using vista. Have you tried with XP? I've hardspl a friend's jade without problems as well. He has two laptops, one with vista and one with xp. I couldn't sync phone with vista, so i installed activesync on his xp and it worked fine. I'm not a techie but just sharing what worked for me. Perhaps others might also be able to help.
[Touch 3G ROM Development] maxallepi:
Hmmm... Im using windows 7 x64. That might be the problem. I'll try on my laptop which has XP x86 and we'll see what happens.

Thanks for the tip mate.

Btw what are the differences between WM6.1 and 6.5? Are the faster? Or just a GUI upgrade? Im using spb shell and it's excellent.
[Touch 3G ROM Development] maxallepi:
Nope, still the same with XP. Goes on standby and the USB connection gets lost.

I've looked and no one has had this problem before. What else could be the problem?????

Im fresh out of ideas.
[Touch 3G ROM Development] tropical cactus:
Oh dear, sorry to hear that. If you didn't succeed with the hardspl, you could take it back to HTC and tell them you have a problem with the standby mode. Don't say anything about trying to hardspl. May be a hardware problem.
[Touch 3G ROM Development] maxallepi:
You might be right, Maybe a bad batch or something.

I'll see what i can do.

Thanks for your help anyway.
[Touch 3G ROM Development] tropical cactus:
Welcome. Let us know what happens. i had a problem with activesync - kept disconnecting by itself. The nice people at HTC changed the main board, which meant i got a new phone.:D

I am sorry

I am sorry for my stupid question. And thank you sir.
[Touch2 ROM Development] Uppy:
Yeah, mirost1 is correct, think about what you're after, if its something with touchflo for functions (but slower) then there are a few to choose from, if you want speed get a "lite" rom, again there are already a few by chris1983, Johan and co.

look around. :)

Sure i can. Basically this to this.

Or at least contact editor etc links from wm default to htc ones.
[Windows Mobile] srgudhka:
those are the new contact cards which are cooked into the rom. u can ask the chef to cook it in the rom
[Windows Mobile] Xinot:
Now i didn't understad what you try to say...? :eek:

Sure i cook and it's all working with manila, but what i want is make it to work in Titanium only rom. Or is it possible at all? Contact & group editors are there in windows folder and are working ok, but how do i make them work by default? So, when i press add new contact in wm contacts list, how i get this new contact manager to open by default, not wm contact manager.
[Windows Mobile] srgudhka:
new contact card need to be cooked in the rom. there are no cab files where you can install that.

Oh, of course... I have New_Contact_Card cooked in, and it is working ok if i start it straight from windows folder via ContactEditor.exe. Problem is how do i make it work like default editor in normal usage?

Generally, no, unless you're capable of reverse engineering or the program pulls its text from an XML or similar file (many language-friendly apps do this) in which case you'll need to find which file that is in the cab and edit it in a text editor or similar.

The latter is unlikely though...

what kind of software can you suggest to use to 'decompile' them?

Howdy developers,

I'm very new to this modding community and understand no modding slang =[

I have a Vodafone HTC Magic and my friend has a HTC Magic with 3.

His Magic has a sense UI update and has lots of cool applications etc that I cannot get. Has anyone created an android 1.6 OS with sense UI? or anything similiar?

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jimfin:
The Vodafone branded magic is the same as the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (32B).

Any of the ROMS marked [32B] in these fora should run fine on your phone.

Be wary of the different radio and SPL versions required.

There's heaps of information around and most of the people on here are very helpful and friendly.

Good luck and happy modding! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] geooo:
Hmmm mine is vodafone branded, but it-s a 32A Magic!

Check the box, it should tell you what kind of phone do you have.

First, start by knowing what kind of phone do you have, and work youre way up. The pieces will fall like in a puzzle, and pretty soon you will know how to root, change a radio, flash a rom, etc...

Best of luck!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 3rdcoast:
It also sounds like he is running 1.6 which doesn't have Sense. For sense you'll need either a 1.5 or 2.1 with sense. Sense is nice but I'd rather use 1.6 than a 1.5 but if you really want it then I've had good results using Cursorsense. A 2.1 rom might not be stable or fast enough yet.

I'm in need of a rangefinder, and was wondering, why not my always handy Leo?

Since it has a focusing function for the camera, it must have some sort of a sensor for measuring distance - or whatever algorithm it uses might be calibrated for actually displaying the(approximate) measured distance.

I would pay for a usable app.

Did a quick search of the Leo forum, no returns for "rangefinder".
