Any apps I can use to view history and messages? Reason I ask is because last night (not using it) from 1am - 4am, my battery was eating 3-5%/hour but at 4am until 8am, I was losing 1% an hour and nothing changes. I have OSMonitor but have no clue to use it and it seems like it only goes back a few minutes. Are there any tools I can use to see what might have been going on during that specific time? Or maybe open up something that will write those messages to a log file for me to review?
Anyone????

At the moment - I get woken up every day at 6am by my Trion reminding me I have an all day event that day scheduled in my calender.
How can I set this to go off at 9am instead by default please?
Thanks for any help!
Dan
you set it in clocks and alarmes in settings
Can't find anything in there apart from setting specific alarm times which is not quite what I want.
I need it so that when I create an 'all day event' in the calander with a reminder, that that alert time is relative to say 9am and not 6am!
Technically it would have made sense to have the all day event alert at 12 midnight but that wouldn't have been much better for my sleep than 6am...
Uncheck "all day event" and set the meeting to start at 9am, then select the rest of the day in the calendar........
Yeah except I synchronise my pda with Outlook.
Outlook puts 'all day events' in a separate section at the top, allowing me to schedule other things during the day. If i set it to start at 9am and finish at 9pm it has the disadvantage of
1. being a longer process
2. blocking up the day
Surely they can't mean to wake everyone up at 6am every day there is an all day event??
Dan
Shouldn't an 'all day event' block the whole day anyway?
It seems you're not using 'all day events' as they are intended, and then complaining that they are not working the way you want them to work.
You must be an executive.
I'm assuming you're already at work for these 'all day events' of yours that all start at 9am but don't take up the whole day, so just turn the reminders for them off altogether.
Forums are for being helpful..
Dear Doom, it has to be said that your suggestion was not helpful and your comment as "you must be an executive" was particularly childish. I too have this problem and am not an executive I assure you. What kind of events do I wish to schedule as all day, have a reminder for, but yet have no start time? Scheduling things like birthdays which have no start time and no impact on my day would seem a fair example, it is after that person's birthday all day... Then there are system installs that span whole days, they don't have a time they are expected to start, or end, they are in fact pencilled in for when the engineers arrive. There are also loads of those jobs that have no particular time associtaed with them but need to be done - check tapes, contact customer, etc.
If anyone has a suggestion on how we can schedule events making use of the Outlook reminder facility, without logjamming our Calendar and without being woken up at midnight or 6AM it would be appreciated! My Outlook is configured so my working day starts at 8AM.
Sounds like that would be better served by using tasks....
Yep. Listen to AlbertoM.
I too have suffered this problem and now have to set the reminder to n.5 days (e.g. 1.5 days) so that the reminder goes off at 12 noon rather than midnight. Bit of pain having to remember to do this but it is better than getting woken.
in outlook you can set it as 'busy'. Can you do the same thing in calandar on the 8525/tytn?
Even I had a similar problem waking up at midnight, I thought there must be a way to fix it and I was lazy to look for it. Since this post came up, I thought of building something up to convert all my 'All day events' to fixed time events.
Here it is

I am not sure if it completely solves the problem but might help someone
This could also be handled easily if you have outlook installed on your desktop. Just go into options and on the preferences tab select calendar options and adjust the start and end times, as far as I know this just highlights those hours differently as they are considered your peak hours. The begin time you set will also be the time your all day event reminders go off. Sync your device and these settings will be applied to your device as well.

Are you sure on the above? I have already the Start time and the End Time set in outlook on pc. Still my device notifies me at 12:00 AM for all day events.
Is there any other setting to change?

My appologies you are correct i must have been thinking back to my last palm device. Oddly enough i'm suprised i haven't set up a all day event with a reminder to have noticed this That is very odd that this is the way it is handled. I mean it makes sense and all since 12am is when the device moves the date forward. Kinda makes me wonder when my first birthday reminder goes off 2 weeks in advance, guess i'll be woken up at the the stroke of midnight 2 weeks prior to the birthdate.
marnel47 you don't have to apologize it is obvious to assume that device would notify to on your start of the day, even though it is logically correct to wake up at 12:00 AM. But there should have been some setting to notify at day start time. (Exactly same behavior is experienced on the desktop reminder too)

sorry posted in wrong thread
Well, I've got Gmail set up with the messaging application on my Wizard running WM5. But this does not offer any option to setup peaktimes and offpeak times for the "Send and Receive" function. Only option is to set the interval in minutes.
Any solution.
I basically do not want to "Send/Receive" at nights and on Sunday....
Thanks in advance.

I know I have seen programs that do this, but for the life of me, I cannot find them. I wonder if they have all gone away, for some reason...
AHA!
Persistence pays off, at last. I have found this: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-bandswitch-v1-2-3.html
It functions like MoDaCo's (may require free registration to download files) NoData application (which I was prepared to offer you as a stop-gap measure) except for one HUGE difference, it has a sleep timer like you wanted...
You'll have to guinea pig yourself, I don't have time to put the app through its paces.
Sorry, link was dead, but I tracked down the cab file.
D/L directly: www.commmgrpro.com
Use at your own risk. I just discovered it has a 15 day trial period, and the guy wants 10 Euro for the license. Seems kind of steep to me.
As a last resort, use NoData to disable everything before bedtime, and just switch everything back on when you get up. If I find something else, I'll post it here.
After some quick fooling around with my 8125 during lunch, I discovered that I can disable all network access (not just the phone) simply by putting my phone in airplane mode. Seems to block programs that automatically log on when functioning, too.
Give it a try.

Thanks for your replies... disabling network access is not really the solution I'm looking for. What I'm trying to do is reduce data traffic on the network (very expensive in India). Currently I've set up Gmail to be synched every hour instead of 15 minutes that I'd like to do. I hardly receive important email on Saturdays and Sundays. So I basically wanted to skip that.
Anyways, now I'm just switching off Auto synching on fridays and bringing it back on on Mondays... ;-)
Three problems with my phone using NFSFAN 1.29 ROM:
1) If a text fails to send (several times a day in perfect signal), it says it'll save it to drafts to be sent later. It doesn't actually save it to drafts. I don't want it to save to drafts anyway, as the generic Bell ROM it gave me the option to simply try and send again. Is there any way to enable the option to resend texts? Also, if I've received a text in the last 10 seconds, an outgoing text will ALWAYS fail to send. Very annoying.
2) Once in awhile, the battery will kill itself in 8 hours with only very light phone usage. Today the phone was all warm as if it was doing something very battery intensive, but it was just sitting idle. It died in 7 hours with only about 15 SMS as usage. The only thing open in task manager is Activesync and Messaging. This happens once every couple weeks.
3) If I type a text message too fast, it just pukes out gibberish... the most common example if I type 'to' I'll get 'vo' instead. I use the T9 keypad.
The text sending problems are killer though and the main reason I'm posting this thread. I'll probably have to dump this phone if I can't figure out a solution.

I'm going to answer the battery problem first.
1. When choosing a city in M2D, do you leave it on auto-update? If so this will drain the battery faster
2. Check synch schedule of email accounts. I used to have it set to every hour, then changed it to every 2. Big difference. My important emails come via exchange anyways.
Text issue:
I know it's a pain but try this procedure:
1. Reflash the stock Bell 6.1 ROM, let customizations run.
2. Flash 1.31 using bootloader mode, let customizations run
3. Hard reset once done
I recommended 1.31 because it's the same features as 1.29 (Iolite M2D), only tweaked by NFSFAN much further.
Usually step one is not necesary, steps 2 & 3 are a MUST every time when flashing a custom ROM.
If you are having wierd problems that you searched and couldn't find a solution for, use the full steps 1-3.
Let us know how it goes
P.S. Backing up with PIM backup for the basics is the only recommended backup. If your using something else (such as spd backup) ensure the ROM is the same windows build. NFSFAN recommends only backing up and restoring with PIM so I would go with that.
I know seting up is a pain, but you are dealing with "frequent flashers" on these boards!!
Good luck.
Thanks a lot for your detailed reply! I think I'll actually try the new NFSFAN Winmo 6.5! Looks interesting, maybe it'll fix up my problems too!
Battery problems:
1) Manual check only on email
2) By city on M2D you mean the weather? That's set for manual checks as well
yep, i say go for gold and try the 6.5...the new v6 has m2d as well
Hi all - new to this forum so apologies if the question has been posed already. I couldn't find a similar thread.
I've been having consistent trouble since getting my VZW Droid 2 in September with the phone not delivering important things like emails, text messages, Google chat messages and WhatsApp messages after long periods of screen inactivity (ie. an hour).
I'll turn on the screen and unlock it, then it goes and fetches those important messages like "I'm on fire - please come put me out now!". Suddenly I'll go from zero notifications to 10 of each.
I am using K9 mail, WhatsApp, Handcent SMS, Gmail, Twitter and all seem to be affected by this.
I checked all my settings, and it's not set up to sync only on wifi or anything, and each application is set up so that it should be sync'ing in the background.
I thought 2.3.20 was supposed to fix this issue, so I made sure to update the phone. However, I'm still having issues. I know I did some things to optimize the paltry battery life when I first got the phone, but can't find anything that should be causing this - and can't remember everything I did.
VZW's answer was to do a full factory reset, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible because I'm too lazy to put everything back the way I have it.
Advice?
Thanks
Try:
Settings > Battery Manager > Battery Settings and making sure its not set to anything other than performance mode as anything else will do exactly as you are describing.
I know custom ROMs may also cause issues.
I'm trying to figure out if there is anything besides the normal intelligent control/optimize/don't optimize that could be affecting an app working in the background?
I use Google Messages on both my phone and PC (messages.google.com) to keep from having to pick up my phone a billion times a day. I had very few issues with my phone showing as "Connected" in the web app with my OP7P, but within a minute or two of locking my screen on the OP8P, the web app shows "connecting" and won't typical work again until I wake up my phone and open Messages (waking the phone alone isn't enough).
Messages is set to "Don't Optimize" in the app settings, just like it was on my OP7P. Is the 8P more aggressive about letting apps stay awake?
**EDIT**
Google Messages is the number one app under "detailed usage" at 11% for the day, so it's definitely not for lack of running. Maybe it it's just an issue with the app on this phone.
I'm using mine now, Mac though, but it works from home too.
Haven't changed any settings for battery optimization.
Forget computer on messages for web.
On phone, force close, clear data, uninstall app.
Reboot.
Reinstall app, reconnect to g messages via QR
Also im using the app not the web version, seems to work better.
