Is There a Way to Launch an Exe at Every new hour i mean like at 7pm 8pm 9pm 10pm 11pm and so on LCDPlug plays A Sound Every hour can it be Modified to launch Talkingclock.exe instead
imho you can do that with mortscript
Is there a way or app that will allow further options for how often the phone checks for email? Basically, I have it set for every 30 minutes during the day, but at night I obviously don't need it to check every 30 minutes as I'll be sleeping. Is there a way to make it so that at a certain time, my phone changes to checking email every 4 hours or so than at a certain time in the morning goes back to checking every 30 minutes?

though it is not perfect and still a bit buggy, it's still worth for a trial.
The CDMA version is having issues with the phone's status displaying as 100% awake time after sending a text message. It is thought that a text triggers a lock on the dialer to remain awake even after putting the phone to sleep, leading to the horrid 12 hour battery life with our Heroes. Using Spare Parts we can see that the dialer is near 100% of the Partial wake usage once a text is sent. We are fairly positive that this is the culprit, but I have yet to read if anyone has actually checked the other version.
To rule out another cause, would any of you out there with a GSM hero check/test if this is the same for you?
The simple test is to:
1. restart the device
2. send a text (using the default HTC app)
3. check your awake time status (settings-->about phone-->status-->awake time)
4. put the phone to sleep for a few minutes
5. check again
Thank you
HERE is the thread with the problem if you care to read up on it.
hi, been sending texts all day and havnt had a problem on my gsm hero
up time is at 42.43.22
awake time : 12.29.55 (29%)
after restarting and sending a text, i waited a few minutes and checked again
up time 8 mins
awake time 7.27 (92%)
so no problem there
on a side note,when i brought the hero it had crap battery life, less than a working day but after an update all was fine
Thanks for the info. It seems like we need an update as well
Do you by chance have Spare Parts installed and can check on the "Partial wake usage"?
yeah
just to let you know
up time is now 1.54.37
awake time is 0.29.30 (26%)
now to spare parts partial wake usage
android system 3mins 29 secs
net counter(app) 51 secs
facebook 40 secs
dialer 36 secs
i have end button behaviour set as " go to sleep"
phone hasnt really been used much since i booted it last
Great! Thanks again for all the help.
And the fact that you haven't used the phone much in the last few hours exactly demonstrates our ****ty problem
So, here's my problem. I owend (or still own) the following phones:
... (a lot of phones in the past)
HTC Neo
Iphone 3G
HTC G1
Palm Pre
So, actually the Pre does it for me! I sell the Iphone right now on Eba*. But here's my problem -> Batterylife!
I hate the batterylife of the Palm / IPhone and the others. The mainproblem is, I love the internetfunctionality, it's great to go online where ever I like, got my mails all 15 / 30 minutes up to date and so on.... But e.g. the Pre is empty at the next morning! I got a tool installed which switchs the phone into the flight mode over night, but the battery is on 10% or empty at the next morning!!! The Iphone does it better, but at the mid of the second day it's empty as well.
OK, what should I do? Should I buy the HTC HD2? HTC says it could play 8hours of videoplayback!!! If this is true, the standby time should be good enough, too! I read the thread about the people which are telling about the low batterytime, is this normal or just in a few cases? I don't like to switch of my wireless/3G at night, or if I'm not using it, where's the sense!? I like to use it right out of the box, and not going to switch it on or off befor!?
What did you think? Should I buy a HTC HD2 and sell the Pre? It doesn't matter which OS comes with it, because I love WM as well as WebOS or the Iphones one, every of them got a good and a bad taste.
P.s.: Does the Windows Marketplace a good job, are there many apps in? Oh, and could you still install over the mobility center manually?
Cheers

lol they are all the same. Just charge them every night while you sleep. Problem solved.
No sorry, not solved
Ok, is it possible to use the HD2 a whole day, I mean 16h, with normal use? Like e.g. I would use it one hour for internet, half an hour for calling and maybe one hour for work with mails?
My Pre says good night at nine o'clock!!! That's toooo less for me! I was at a customer and I got an important call, but the Pre tought it would be OK if I would call back, when I'm at home (battery empty).
So, is it possible?
I charge mine bedside overnight and yes, it lasts a whole day (a whole day typically being; up at 5am & bed by 10.30pm + between 1 and 1 1/2 hours music playing in the gym + lots of fiddling with it [it's a new gadget] + about 15 mins of call time + about 10 mins txt time + about 15 mins surfing (I'm at a PC all day with a phone, otherwise it would be more) AND I have the screen power set to bright.
Even with all that I still have 2 bars on the battery when is gets plugged in at night.

This implies you are not charging overnight. You are saying the battery is empty by the second day. It will be. It needs charging every night, all night.
sync and receive mail/contact every5-10 min, or set to "as items arrive"??
apparently its set to send every so often as it searches every so often, I have google as push and doesn't really affect my battery life, but I also have my yahoo mail set to scan every hour, so not really sure lol
I used to have hotmail "as items arrive", but also had weather and facebook updates as regularly as possible. I didn't think it would have any effect. But after months and months of only getting 1 day out of the phone, I set hotmail to every 15 minutes and drastically reduced the frequency of downloads for weather and facebook, and I now get 2-3 days off 1 charge, depending on use of course.
I can't say how much difference that 1 setting alone made, but it must have made a difference.
wow..great battery life. May i ask what ROM you are using?
3 days?? how
i have mail set to every 2 hours. weather is manual. im on elegancia 9 have an updated radio.
i lose almost always 5 pct an hours in standby with minimal usage. if i throw browsing or other things its always 10 pct an hour. never can i not charge it over night

i would like to know as well. which Rom etc...
2 days ok, 3 days is a bit far-fetched.
...unless you turn off your phone most of the day. who knows.

I wonder this question too...I just switched from push to every 10 mins. it seemed to help but wasn't dramatic. I found turning off the data connection helped but I still don't know what that even accomplished.

On my phone, exchange push mail uses less power than checking every 15 minutes...

Mine lasts at least 2 full days with light to moderate use (data always on + check every hour on 2 mailboxes + twitter + weather, some browsing and 15-20 minutes phonecalls, 20-30 minutes using the phone for various things).
If I don't use it much (only phone calls and usual checks every hours, rest of the time on standby), it usually lasts 3 full days (and 2 nights )
I do charge it more often when I can though, since it's better for the battery
I do not think there is a difference with push mail and checking mail every 30 minutes.
I went to bed last evening with a 99% charge and woke up nine hours later with 93%.
I used to have two mail accounts check every 30 minutes, but changed one to push last evening.
I seem to be getting the same result, push or check.
6% loss in nine hours, 1 mail set to push, 1 to 30 minutes check, weather updated hourly (though I think weather does not actually update when phone is sleeping.
