caller id monitor

Hi i have problem some times caller id show just number when someone call me sometimes(same number) show name from contacts how to fixit

Same thing here...
Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not... Actually it has only worked a couple of times...
At first I thought I was closing the ID Contact Monitor when I used an application close button (Battery Back from Omega One). But then I noticed that it still does not work even without the app closer.
Any clues?

I believe that this is probably down to the 32 process limitation of WM2003 on the XDAII 28 processes open automatically as you open programs the XDAII will close what it thinks isn't needed any more.
Can anyone confirm? :?

Hmmm... It could very well be that... :roll:

If you don't use the "permanent save" feature, then you can delete the 4 flashman files out of the \windows\startup folder.
this gives 4 more process slots. Making the number of running processes at startup more in line with a normal XDA.
wasting 4 process slots on 4 different programs that do the same thing to 4 different databases is rediculous. Having them running even when the feature is turned off is also rediculous.
..Chuck..

Yes, thanks... I deleted the task I don't use and now IACaller is working fine ever since...
Thanks!

I've upgraded to the new ROM, and only the lesser 19 processes now, meant to alleviate this problem.
In addition, it's a newer fix of Caller ID.
And even more, I removed the FOUR flashman/mem processes from startup too.
And even then, I find after just half a day of running apps and stuff, Caller ID no longer shows a photo, and requires a reboot to work properly.
Not happy at all, not in the slightest. Not in the least bit impressed, because i see little else that can be done to fix this, so no likliehood of a solution.
VERY poor to say the least.

Shadamehr,
Are you using an application closer like Pocket Plus or Wisbar?
If not, I suggest you use one. Remember that whithout an app closer you are consuming valuable resources and the X only minimizes them.
Best regards,
Rayan

I was using SideBarX.
What I find however, is that this is the WORSE thing to use, as it closes ALL apps, so if the Caller ID HAD happened to just recently update itself, it would close that too, so in effect, closing the very thing with any potential to fix things.
Alas, I find the only thing that works, is to do a soft reset twice or three times a day.
Not a great loss given how quick re-boot time is, but a bit of a stupid solution nonetheless.
Additionally, I find another slight issue, in that if I get an SMS, when I click the notification envelope on the top bar to open it (if I had left it, not catching it straight away, so the first pop up of it had already gone) then the 'speech bubble' that appears with the message in, is REALLY slow now after the new ROM update, taking a second or two to draw itself properly. I can see the outline of the bubble for a fair while before the bubble 'draws' on screen properly.
Sadly however, it even does this after a soft reset to speed things up, so I am very concerned about this aspect of things.
It worked a lot faster before the update.
The rest of the update has been a good thing for me, but I am a bit angry about the Caller ID problem still being here at least for me, but more worryingly, I am concerned at the apparent speed slow down for some things! Especially as I have read tales of others experiencing this too.
But overall, its nothing earth-shattering I guess.

Shadamehr,
As far as the CallerID problem, at first I was having the same problems but I managed to fix this by removing unwanted items on the startup folder (remember the 32 process limit?) and by using Pocket Plus, since it allows you to exclude CallerID from closing.
I also use ScaryBear Software's Check Notifications to remove duplicate events on my system's databases.
Good luck!
Rayan

Pocket Plus? Cheers mate - I'll go search now.
Here's hoping it works.
Also, the new ROM is only meant to have 19 things running. I have further removed the four flashman files from startup.
Do you know of anything else I can remove?
Cheers mate.

Can't find Pocket Plus mate (at least not as a free app).
Any link for me please?

I don't remember what things where in the Startup folder but this is the stuff I have now:
CheckAutoRun.lnk <--- No idea what this is for
ChgDfLnk.lnk <--- No idea what this is for
ClearTemp.lnk <--- I installed this
IA_Caller_ID.lnk
MMReg.lnk <--- No idea what this is for

Hi all,
I've the problem with with my XDA II and IA Caller ID. It works for one or two hours and then impossible to see a picture. The only thing to do is a soft reset.
I've checked the processes and I'm now with 16 processes (using PHM Task Manager to see the processes) and when the problem occurs, the IA_Caller_ID process is still active.
For information, I use WisBar advance to really close my programs and I kill ActiveSync every time I leave the XDA from the cradle.
Thanks for your help...

hello,
Do you put pictures in your SD Card ?
If yes, try with pictures in your phone memory.
I have the same problem with ringtone in my old Qtek (first generation SPV by Orange)
Sometimes, the sdcard is poweroff to preserve battery life...
test and come back ;-)

THe picture is in "/my documents" none on the SD card

Now it's new, sometimes the XDAII doesn't ring at all. The screen lights on but no ring and no information. :shock:

All Task Manager Apps drain battery

I have been wondering about the cause of battery fast drain even when HD2 is unused, and I have been doing lots of trial & errors until I have removed the HTC Taskmanager and the result is amazing... that figures why HTC never shipped the device with it
PS..
Showcase is also draining the battery.
FYI
Taiseer

have you tried wktask?

Not yet ..
have you??

I am using it, but since I didn't see the huge drain battery and that the first program installed on my HD2 was a task manager, I can't compare.
Maybe I will try this days, but this piss me off if its true, using a WM phone without a decent task manager or using with it but with much less battery

I really would not want to try anything right now and go through the agony of not having my alarm going off due to no battery charge in my phone because of an add on HTC left out on purpose, anyway the built in Task Manager will do the trick with the huge RAM available.

Im also thinking your right about the task manager. My HD2 seemed to last for ages for the first 2 days, then after installing a task manager it started to drop very quickly.
Ive just removed it and now the phone seems more responsive as well..

Thanks for the tips.
I have the same feeling why the battery drained so quickly in these days. My first few days use make me feel that the HD2 battery can last at least 2 days. But now, it just bare enough to last one day with normal usage.
I think I better remove the task manager to check whether the battery wonld drain that quickly.
In addition, I have tried the WkTask and the Magic button, both software somehow disable the start button. Thats why I stop using it

Thanks for the info .
I removed it but it seems to be still the same problem...
Maybe it is due to something else ? Like Dutty The Taskbar ?

might just be the case, installed the Touch X task manager (old dropdown menu style taskmanager) the first thing I did, my phone lasted about 13-15hours with a couple of % left when I pushed it, but im sure you can get much more out of it
going to do a hard reset and skip the task manager, lets see if it does make a difference

This is interesting. I wondered why HTC removed the task manager (that's may be the reason why...)
Is it possible to verify this? Could someone make an objective test?
If true I will probably go back to WkTask, which is a great piece of software. But how to have the Start button/ X button with WkTask installed?

Task Facade 4 triggered by a hardware button via AEButton Plus, works great and replace easily HTC Task Manager

with wkTask you have to add in to exeption list the names of your folders in Start menu and "Start" itself.thsn just thick off don't close with x button and you are done.using this soft a long time and never had any problems.think it'great.first thing i always install on my PDA.

No I have not used any tools, I only noted down the battery % remaining and checked the balance when I get up in the morning, 7 hours device at sleep should not consume 30% -- which would also mean a lot of wasted power when the device is in use...
So last night I just removed the task manager and it got a lot better, installed Showcase and drainage resumed, so I have removed that also and gauged it in the same manner and resulted in 2-3% drop.

+1. I totally agree with you if there is no battery drain problem.

I am using the 12 actionscreen program and then just used phm regedit to edit the following key.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\BIOTOUCH\\ACTIONSCREEN\APP_4
Removed Param field
Edited Path from \windows\poutlook.exe to \windows\taskmgr.exe
Rebooted
I never use tasks and I figured well it makes sense to use tasks to call taskmgr.exe and it works a treat.
Now no need for extra task managers and battery life 'should' be unaffected

Has anyone actually did a test on this one ? I don.t see why or how the taskmanager has any influence on battery life...I.m using dutty.s task manager, and i can.t say there is any battery drain other than normal. Plus, taskmanagers are really handy if you are a heavy user

Actually, I think I would agree with you... (my only question is 'why HTC removed it then ?')
This is why it really needs to be tested and verified with Powerguard.
To have objective figures would greatly help.

guide to control your battery and keep build smooth

There lot of interrogations and frustrations concerning slowdowns/battery drains on Android, sometimes not really fair.
You need to control your build and knowing what is going on into it, because most programs you install live from their own and can downgrade your stability and your battery performance.
A detailed guide is provided here in order to have a good battery drain with very smooth and reliable android experience on Hd2, gathering tips and advices users need to know when they come to this Os or want to improve it durably.
Following this guide, you will be able to have hundreds of apps into a super smooth, stable and battery friendly android build.
Most importantly, without transforming your smartphone into a dumbphone :
- Wifi and sync always on
- Mails checked every hour
- 148 applications installed (no I don’t need them all ;-) )
- 6 widgets running on the screen or in background (check screenshot) : Folder organizer, News, Facebook, Current widget, Powersnap, switch pro, pure calendar, pure grid calendar.
- In standby, it can last for 4 days :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Smartphones are more and more looking like a laptop, so I consider that 5 or 6 hours with the screen alight is good.
The assumption is the battery drain can be affected by several factors:
1) Screen brightness.
2) Memory management if wrongly configured
3) Program launching in background if wrongly configured
4) Program updating in background if wrongly configured
5) Build and Kernel
6) Wm rom, radio, Sd card, Cpu in standby
7) Extras : Backups, customizing etc
Once you have the good utilities and understand how it works, it is easy to setup and need no more tweaks, unless you install new apps.
To keep a battery trace, current widget with logs and battery snap are mainly used.
1) Screen consumption
The screen battery consumption is huge when we use the phone. It was the same on windows mobile, and was to expect when buying it with that huge size.
Therefore, the screen brightness is an important factor to deal with.
In order to keep a good battery life when your phone is on, you need to keep your phone around 300 MiliAmpers or less. You have to keep in mind that a 75% brightness = 500Ma.
The best behavior is to keep your screen :
-25% brightness at home, with no sun.
-50% brightness mostly of the time
-75% and 100% brightness in very rare occasions with direct sun exposition.
In order to swich fast between this settings, and since we don’t have for now a functional kernel with auto brightness, using a brightness widget is recommended.
I personnaly use “Brighness level”, and launch it by swiping a dock icon into launcher pro.
Ps : Take care to not press 0%, or your screen will be completely dark. You can revert by guessing where the icons were, but it is tricky.
2) Memory management
In order to keep your hd2 fast and battery friendly, it is better to keep your phone with more than 200Mo free ram (when you are not using it).
There is a great free program for that, called task panel X. With it you can choose which program you want to close every time you put your phone in standby.
It is very important that you choose well the apps that need to stay in memory, and the others.
It is pretty simple: Keep the widget you use and system apps. Discard all the others by including them in the autokill list. It is a bit long to do if you have hundreds apps, but you have to do it only one time.
Example:
3) Programs launching automatically in background
You need to control the apps you install. Problem is that some programs are launched automatically into your memory at any time. I was surprised to see that programs that don’t need to be to stay in memory (when I don’t use them) launch by themselves at anytime. “Mabilo wallpapers” was the best (or worst) example.
You need an app to control that. I recommend “Startup Auditor”, and set carefully wich apps that can launch by themselves or not. Same as with task panel, just keep system apps and widgets. You can keep too your mail app. If you don’t use the Gmail app program, remove it from the list.
You will see into task panel that very few programs keeps running despite of that. You have to question yourself: “Ok this one is great to find new wallpapers, but it is constantly running in my memory and I don’t know why (suspicious) -> Do I really need it ?”
4) Programs updating in background
Programs that you authorize to launch automatically in your memory are often in order to update automatically things. (Mail, weather, facebook, tweeter etc…)
It is important that you know what they are, and where are located their update settings in order to not to waste uselessly your battery. Checking mails each hour or two hour is sufficient. Checking every 15mn cause obvious battery drains.
For most needs, manual updates for social apps or weather is sufficient, because it take only two seconds when you want to see them. If manual updating is not available, choose the longer updating interval (one day for example)
5) Builds
The following is based on my personal opinion; you are free to use and test every build you want.
First, i don’t recommend using sense builds due to personal bad experiments. I had crash and a lot of slowdowns, but most importantly it was battery draining due to all the htc third apps hard coded into. It is a build very hard to control.
I use and recommend a shubCRAFT 1.5 with stock Cyanogen mod 6 Final :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740963
Don’t forget to download the 1Go user data file in order to install more apps.
It’s a build very fast to boot, smooth, efficient and highly customizable. The kernel provided in it is good for now.
Launcher Pro is used here, very smooth and easy to customize.
6) Wm rom, radio, Sd card, Cpu
SetCpu can be usefull, depending on the kernel you are using. There is a lot of threads on it, the most important setting is to downclock your cpu at standby.
Sd card
There is some evidences that your sd card can drain your battery. If you follow this guide and still have battery drain, it can be the cause. Check into this post :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781433
I use a Kingston 16Go class 10 micro sdhc card with no issue.
Registry tricks :
I had before these regitry settings into windows mobile rom, no idea how it affect Android :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585729
Radio
I use 2.12.50.02_02
Ppp or rmnet
I don't have dataplans, so i can't tell about rmnet or ppp battery drains, but my suggestions to users who use it, is to activate it when you turn on your phone or every one hour, with a third app like Tasker.
SuperUser permissions
Polo735 suggest that, in rare cases, the superuser permissions program can be faulty and need te reinstalled, otherwise it drains your battery.
Symptoms are : When installing an app requiring superuser permissions, no pop up granting it appear.
See his post here
7) Extras :
If you like the screenshots design, it is the stock Shubcraft froyo framework with a custom black toolbar form manup revolution theme, compressed for speed. You can download it bellow and copy the file to /sdcard/Android/root/system/framework/ You have to set some custom colors into the cyanogens mod settings:
-Toolbar color in black
-Clock color in white
-Date and toolbar title in white.
Have fun !

Nice one, thanks!

If this was true, the 1230mAh battery should last 1230/5=246 hours in standby mode running Android, which is 10.25 days, right?
We all know this isn't true.

Who's gonna leave there phone in standby for ten days to test it, infact who's gonna leave their hd2 in there pocket for 30minutes, fact is my data is on I've just been to my current widget log and for the last ten minutes (logging every 2mins) my usage was 4mA, 5mA, 3mA, 6mA, 4mA
So you tell me? Guess the current widget doesn't work
Is there any other battery widgets so I can run multiple ones and compare.results?
I left off charge last night for 8 hours while I slept and used 5% I think its pretty accurate reality.

I made a simplier calculation. I lost 1% per hour, so 4 days in standby. maybe a more rigorous way. Current widget is not always very precise, but it can help a lot to trace possible battery drains.

Yeah, that's more accurate. That's approximatively what I lose too. But it's definitely draining more than 5mA.
It's not THAT bad, but Windows Mobile is still way more energy efficient.
My guess is that there are some things that should be turned off but aren't, hardware wise, when the HD2 runs under Android.

That's not the point of this thread. I am pretty sure this it is useful to new users because wm and android are obviously different to manage. I want to bring something rational here, talking about screen consumption and memory management. Not about "something" we can't see but drains.
I saw several windows mobile threads concerning battery life frustrations too, so it would be more constructive to make some real battery tests between this two Os. For now, what some users complains are just "feelings" for me.

Hey, I didn't want to belittle your thread, the OP is definitely useful
My point was, right now even with all tweaks, the situation is not really satisfying, and hopefully soon we won't need any tweaking anymore because the developers will have perfected the HD2 port.

One thing that may help some people:
Make sure that your phone is using superuser permissions correctly. A while back on an earlier build I installed setcpu and autokiller. I thought they were working correctly but my battery life was poor. I tried opening superuser permissions and it crashed. I uninstalled Superuser Permissions, then reinstalled. Now setcpu and autokiller work correctly and battery is very good.
There is no indication that these apps aren't working besides the "... granted superuser permissions" popup. If you don't know to look for that message you may not realize there is a problem.

Battery icons in 5% step?

Well i am trying without success to modify the status bar battery icons so they show the charge in 1% o mejor 5% steps
so far i modified stat_sys_battery_charge y stat_sys_battery, added the necessary battery icons where they belong. But after compiling and installing the notification bar battery icons still show in steps of 20%.
I assume that the Eiclar kernel is capable of that
I found after decompiling the framework a public.xml in /value. Do i have to add the new drawable new icons with unique ID's also in that one or do i miss something? Perhaps the service.jar?

I'm pretty sure the Milestone and Droid hardware is only capable of reporting battery status in 10% increments, so you unfortunately wouldn't be able to get 1 or 5 no matter what you do

you sure? when the milestone battery level drop below 20%, it will display 20->15->10->5%, so the milestone hardware just support 10% increment at first 80% and support 5% increment at 20% level?

It does switch to 5% increments once you get below 20, but from everything I've read, this is also a hardware function. No way to go finer than 10% when you're above 20, unfortunately.

There seams to be a way.
Problem is you don't have enough unused icons in /drawable-hdpi-v4. Te only possibility for new images is to add in /value/public.xml the needed battery icon names with ID's and create them than in /drawable-hdpi-v4. Than modify the battery xml's. CM does it that way. Doing that we than will know if 2.1 is capable of recognize 1% steps. Also question is to what are those ID's related.
This should do th job.

The issue here is that the phone's hardware will only respond to queries for remaining battery with a certain set of values (100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, 5). CM is certainly capable of displaying the battery value in finer increments, but this is more of a vestigal feature from its HTC-phone origins, as the Droid will never report any value other than those listed.
There are apps on the Market that estimate battery percentage to a finer degree (I think Battery Left widget is one of them?), but they don't get their information directly from the phone's power manager. Rather, they monitor your battery usage and voltage over time and produce an estimate based on this data.
This would be an awesome feature to have in a ROM, but it would require a bit more effort to implement than it would on a phone that reported battery percentage in 1% increments to begin with.

The issue here is that the phone's hardware will only respond to queries for remaining battery with a certain set of values (100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, 5).

Yes i have the following:
For stat: 0,5,15,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100
For charging: 0,10,20, etc.
You need to change two xml files and change/replace some images.

In addition to Thomas_BA's advice on how to get all of these increments to show in the status bar (which some ROMs such as CyanogenMod have already done for you), you can also see your battery status in 10% increments by going to Settings:About Phone:Status.

For Android 2.1:
Important:
Don't use the images on a CDMA phone
In case you have CDMA use some unused GsM signal images, rename the files and also the name in the xml files.
The zip file contains two decompiled (clear text) xml files and the necessary battery icons. Don't use them on a CDMA phone, as i changed some CDMA signal images to battery icons. I don't need them as i have a GsM phone.
Also you have to rename the image names. Just remove 00_,01_,etc. and C00_, C01_, etc. I have done so to show the image order regarding charging and statue.
Usage:
Decompile your framwork-res-apk. Copy the xml files into the dcompiled framwork-res (not the images), compile, rename framwork-res.apk to '...zip' and tan copy the images.

I haven't checked the xml files in 2.2.1 rom so i can't tell.

[INFO] Battery life

Hello!
I have a question: For you, my battery life is good?
I have bought the smartphone (G935F) a week ago, I'm on the stock rom with root.
This is a ss of my battery life today, I think that isn't good, because I haven't use any heavy app like a game for a long period...
What do you think? (Sorry for my bad English)
P. S: I always have the screen resolution set to the maxim and the brightness set to medium.

yes, your battery life appears to be good.
but check to make sure that you are logged out games and facebook as they sometimes run in the background.
you largest usage is ECRAN.
If you can give some more details about it, I can let you know if you can do something about it,

"Ecran" mean "Display" in Romanian xD.
So, you think is better to logout Facebook and another internet apps to gave some time in plus over the battery? Or you just mean to close this apps in background? (This I already do)

Close all apps that you are not using. Also, do not use the wifi.
Your usage looks alright (normal) and if you wish to increase your battery lifespan, try to decrease the updates and connections running in the background.

Ok, thanks for the advice! ?

Use Greenify; To Hibernate Apps And Kill Background Processes. But Battery Life Is Dependent On Usage
