OpenTouch problems!

Hey everyone, I hate asking questions in forums...i never feel i did enough searching, but i think i did enough this time.
I have been using OpenTouch Biggy v3.0 for quite sometime now on my wing. It runs pretty well, but i had an issue where my battery went from lasting close to 2 days, to lasting half a day or so. My phone habits didn't change nor did any settings, So i reinstalled and the battery went back to lasting 2 days again. But when i was researching i seen that OpenTouch v5.3 biggy was out so i installed that version about 3 times. Each time the top bar is missing and will not show. So instead i installed v4.0 biggy and my battery is back to not lasting very long. I really enjoy using Opentouch, I have tried the others but always end up back with OpenTouch. Anyone else have this problem?
Another thing i would like to know and i might be wrong here(i haven't run OEM Windows mobile in quite sometime) But is there anyway to get the original AIM app from the stock rom? I want all the Biggy apps to though. I do have Palringo installed and have been using that for a couple weeks now. Not sure if i like it though.
Sorry if this post is messy or unclear im working off about 3 hours sleep and need to get to bed!
Thanks for any help!

here is an example of my battery problem. I unplugged my phone at 6:14am made maybe 3 phone calls equal to about 10 minutes total. Used the internet for about 20 mins and now at 11:21am i am at 42% battery. With OpenTouch v3.0 i could of tripled that and tonight around midnight when i would of plugged my phone in the battery would of been closer to 70%.
Would love to get some answers on this, if anyone knows any settings i can change or what not.
Thanks.

You sure it's not a bad battery? They have had a lot of problems with the Dynapack batteries.

I found an article saying that T-mobile and HTC are replacing the dyna-pack batteries. but my phone doesn't seem to over heat. Also, if i put OpenTouch V3.0 on my Wing the battery will last longer again. I think its something in the software settings.
Here is a link to an article i found http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/tmobile_replacing_overheatable.html

I think that ttran made Open Touch 5.0 and higher have the radio that gets better reception, but pulls more power, but I don't think it was supposed to pull that much power. When I tried the 5.0 series, I didn't notice a drop in power at all versus 3.0. Hmmmmmmm.

Well with the v5.0 i am not sure if the battery dies quicker or last longer, i don't get a top bar after installing it. So when i installed v5 i kept it for an hour tops and reinstalled 3 times in a row, then went back to v3.0 or v4. My problem seems to be with V4.0. I like the looks of it and would like to keep it. but i can't deal with charging my phone 3+ times a day.
I did see a post that says some people wanted to keep the radio from V3 on V4. maybe ill try installing that and see if that fixes the problem. I will let you know the outcome.

You could install batterystatus so you can see the remaining power.

I can see the remaining power, that is how i know when the phone will need to be charged. What i meant was i have not left OpenTouch V5 on my phone long enough to see if the battery lasted longer or not.
When I get home i am going to put the V3 Radio on my V4 phone. I will let you know the results.

Ah, I gotcha....Yeah, I'm running v3 radio and it seems to be the best out of the bunch for me.

Well i did more research and found some Radio upgrades and what not. I figured why go down a version on the OS when i can upgrade the radio version. OpenTouch V4 comes with Radio 03.12.90, So i updated to 03.18.90. I will just have to test this for the day to see how the battery life is. From what i read it was about 60/40 of good/bad. I guess if this radio sucks as much juice as 03.12 i will just try going to 03.21.90 and what not.
Now to figure out why the topbar wont show up in OpenTouch V5.3 for me. I love TTrans roms! I'd like to stay up-to-date with him. =(

I think it's a file in the startup. It might be cleanstart, but I can't remember for sure. I think if you slide the keyboard out, it comes back, but I remember reading about this somewhere...

Well i gave up with the radios and put in OpenTouch v5.2 org. Then i extracted the NBH file from the new release from Tmobile and flashed that to my phone. It seemed pretty quick and what not. But i ended up saving the OZ IM program file and flashing OpenTouch V3.0 again and added the OZ IM from the stock Tmobile rom and it actually opens, but it wont connect. Oh well.
I am looking into cooking my own roms now and have followed a guide to create my own OEM. So maybe ill become one of the known cooks =)

Problem
I have a problem, my cube doesn't work like the way it shoud btw i have open touch 5.0 , so like the regular cube to open it u slide ur finger from the bottom to top and it pops up but not in mine, i have ramdonly slide finger in many direction multiple time for a while before it comes out, so please tell me is there something wrong

I ended up installing OpenTouch V3.0 last night to test the radio in it. Well my phone was unplugged fromt he charger this morning at 8:15am and it is now 4:17pm...the battery is at 72%. The radio version is 03.07.90, not sure if this is exactly what is making the battery die slower...but my reception is not as good as before. I am going to upgrade this Radio. I also downloaded Aserg's newest rom, I have never tried his.
As for the cube i am not sure. I have never used it. I will give it a shot this weekend and see if i can help ya out.

thx looking forward to it

I am surprised that the 3.12 radio drains your battery that quick. I have been using it in the OT 4 and 5 versions and now in Touch-IT touched by vista and I average 2 days of battery life before I charge unless I have been heavy on the internet usage. I have heard that the 3.18 and 3.21 radios drain battery life quick, but I haven't read too many complaints about 3.12. if you haven't tried any of the Touch-IT roms, give em a try, they are probably the most stable roms I have used yet, although I noticed for some reason with Touch-IT touched by vista my reception doesn't seem as good even with radio 3.12. I don't understand that....

Android build and rom for long battery life

hello
im have HD2 512 MB rom with ChukyRoM and rEVOlution build in it.
my battery life is horrible.
after 5 minutes of music without screen i got 2 percent drain from my battery.
i can barely complete a day without battery runs out before 3PM
can anyone recommend me the best sense build and rom for battery life?
i desperate
sorry for my bad english.
can anyone help?

Hello, use my settings + low screen britness
T-Mobile HTC HD2
Cotulla HardSPL
OMEGA ROM
Mdeejay eVo Sense v.2.0 REVOlution
Stock Radio
this last for 1 day with normal use

omega is good for battery life?

what sd card are you using? i might be wrong but most of the time, battery drain is down to the type of an sd card you are using rather than what winmo rom you have got.

sandisk 2GB MicroSD is that really matters?
what about radios,that can help too,right?

if the configuration of android settings (like backlight, autosync, set cpu) does not help to reduce battery drain, then try a different radio and sd card as well. unfortunately, i cannot tell which radio and sd card to use, since it is rather subjective. i personally use Samsung 8 gb class 6 sd card, running FroyoStone 3.1 on the latest stock rom 3.14 and radio 2.15.50.
also what is your batter drain in mA during standby? you can check that with Current Widget from the marketplace

il try another radio.
in standby i have 30-60 ma
on music or games i have 200-400 ma
that terrible

30-60 mA in stanby is a bit too much, average should be around 7-9 mA, but there are some that can get even less like 3-5 mA. 400 mA while playing games i think is alright.

Well, this works for me...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834255

I switched rom and did your guide.
still didnt help.
any other ideas?

any other ideas? please!

Are you using setCPU?
edit: just noticed you said you had followed that guide which is all about tuning your CPU, so you can disregard the above question.

Try to use different windows rom
As I know ozdroid, Chuckydroid. And vbnrom are the best.
Or try different radio 2.10.50, 2.12.50 or the latest 2.15.50
Or sometimes try to restart the device will work

Make sure your running apps aren't sucking power behind the scenes. I'd try by killing off suspect apps one or two at a time. Even if they pop back up (because of a widget or other background service) it can help because it kills a service that they are running. don't use Auto Kill though or it might increase your battery use.
Have you cleaned any widgets off your homescreen that might frequently use CPU?

any other ideas?

question about SuperHD2_v14

hi
i am running hyperdroid 1.7 on my hd2 now, but i have got some problems with it.
as i was looking for a solution for my problems, i saw there was an android os called SuperHD2_v14. and thought to flash it instead of hyperdroid.
can anybody tell me if that os is almost like hyperdroid? or is there much different. I have read that SuperHD2_v14 have a good battery life, compared to hyperdroid. is that true?

I haven't tried hyperdroid but I'm pretty satisfied with SuperHD2_v14. I checked current widget and sure enough it did eventually drop to 4 mA on idle. I got about 6 hours of heavy use or about 5 hours of 100% continuous use. I think for the most part the chef's claims are valid.
Note your radio... I had to back flash to an old radio, but I'm not certain it was required. I've heard that some with newer radio's are complaining.
Also on first boot be VERY patient. About 5-15 minutes at the "htc" screen. Subsequent boots are the normal 3-5 min.
BTW, I flashed WinMo to OzDROID 2.0 since it was recommended as a good pairing with SuperHD2. Also remember to light the keys before loading it. Being religious about that solved some of my issues.

Rom Virtuous Fusion Installed. Some issues...:-(

Hi,
I installed this morning this Rom on my MyTouch 4G. Everything was going good, until i got to my workplace and i realized that my T Mobile Signal Was Extremely weak, and i mean with and X on my signal Status. If i wanted some signal i would have to go out of the building. ( Something that never happens)
So, i would like to know if it is problem with this ROM, or if i have to "flash the radio" ( something that i dont know how to, to be honest) or what could i do.
I got so scared, that i tried to restore my Stock rom ( that i created it with Rom manager), but the thing is that now, all the apps that i had installed on the SD card, they dont show up ( they are not linked) AND the Signal Still is bad!!!!...
So, i dont know if i messed up the phone in anyway ( i did not do eanything extra while installing this new ROM) or what could it be
Anyone out there could help this guy?:-(....
Thanks!

I don't see how installing a ROM could suddenly cause your signal to plummet, especially when so many people are running that ROM without issues. In your case, I would upgrade to the latest radio since that may very well help your signal, and it's the one the dev of that ROM recommends anyway. See this thread for info on the radio flashing procedure and make sure you follow it exactly. If you don't have ADB set up yet, see this excellent thread. Most people highly recommend using ADB since it may prove very useful if you ever get into trouble in the future, but if you'd like alternative radio flashing instructions that avoid the use of ADB, I can provide those too.

lol I also noticed this on Virtuous Fusion, it was a battery hog on my phone Sense builds usually have a shorter battery life. the radio you flash will affect the battery life also. have you tried recalibrating your battery after a full charge?

The easiest way to calibrate you batter is with this app...very straight forward.
And yes, as I said in my previous post you "should" upgrade your radio. I used quotations because it isn't absolutely necessary, and you may very well have fine performance on the stock radio, but eViL does recommend the latest, which seems to work very well for most people.

both the stock rom and Virtuous Fusion are Sense builds, but the stock rom is a version of Sense called MySense. Virtuous has A LOT more stuff added onto the rom rather than stock MySense, thats why it uses a bit more battery life. as for the battery calibration, just download the app "Battery Calibration" by Nema and charge your battery until its full. once full, run the app and youre good to go. I wouldnt charge it again until the battery has completely drained as youll get a better reading. as far as the radios go, each radio works differently with everyone. just try them all out and see which one works best for you, comparing battery life/signal strength and coverage

Hum.... Im going to work on the radios, to see whats going on..
another thing that im feeling, is NOW when im upstairs, the phone disconnects itself from the WIFI ( soemthing that never happened to me before). Could it be because of the ROM?
BTW, im really loving this ROM. Its all useful and beautiful!!...

Hi guys,
Welll well, after 2 days on this ROM, all i can say, its been workign perfectly Fine.
I tried 2 apps to WIFI tether but look like they dont work, the only way i can do this, is thru the Hot spot that comes with the ROM, but i cant keep an eye on the Traffic. Any ideas?

You can easily view bandwidth usage on your computer.
If you're using windows, press ctrl+ alt +delete. Select start task manager (unless it already popped up). In windows task manager, click the tab labeled "Networking". Next, click view->select columns... Put a check next to bytes, bytes sent and bytes received. This will show you bandwidth total, uploaded and downloaded respectively in terms of bytes. 1024 bytes = 1 megabyte, 1024 mbytes = 1 gigabyte.
I'm sure other OSes (linux, osx) offer this simple tool as well.
Note: the data session its reset to 0 after restarts and wireless network connection. So, take a note of it before restarting or repairing the wireless connection.

[Q] NAND vs SD. MAGLDR vs CLK

Hi there,
I have been running SD Android builds for a couple of months, still a beginner. I'm happy with WinMo + Android SD build(s) ... however would we made any progress if we don't investigate further ...
Would NAND Android be any better than SD builds, specifically on Battery & speedness?
Would you recomend NAND vs SD?
MAGLDR OR CLK? What are the differences?
If I want to go back to WinMo ... would it be as easy as having the original stock rom (.nbh file) in a blank microSD and enter the boot loader?
If you still have energy after so many questions, one not as important (I can test myself) ... any ROM recommendation?
Many thanks to all those that make XDA-developers be XDA-developers
Pozi.

hey pozi,
I would recommend using NAND, it's a great experience. a TON better than winmo 6.5. I have great battery life, and the speed is as if the HD2 is an android device natively.
MAG vs cLK: I've tried both. The differences are:
cLK boots faster, and doesn't have a cmd prompt screen during boot.
cLK uses PPP for your data connection (MAGLDR uses rmnet). Sometimes you'll have a data drop that can only be fixed by rebooting your phone with PPP. rmnet is completely stable.
For NAND, to get back to winmo, you'll have to flash the official winmo6.5 ROM just as if you'd flash cLK or MAGLDR.
As for ROMs, it's totally up to your preferences. I've used a few, and currently I'm using TyphooN 3.6.0 because it has all the customization that I want. There are other kinds, you'll just need to test with a bunch to find what you like.

Thanks for your answer.
What does great battery life mean for you: 12h, 24h, 36h, 48h ... ?
In average, I'm just trying to have an idea compared to my 12h on SD.
THANKS AGAIN.
Pozi.

It depends on your setup:
What accounts are syncing, What apps are using background data,... you probably know the drill.
I use an app that disables my data usage and periodically re-enables it to sync with everything. So far my battery hasn't lasted any less than 13 hours.

Hi,
im used to flash the Boyppc's roms with cwr so on Nand after have handled a lot of builds on SD card. The battery life is great (2h of music, mail and internet 2-3h and others things with from a mobile so i use 60-70%) the speed is awesome and no problems if I need to remove the card from my phone.

I have tried many roms, I change every few months ... Until I find the "perfect" ROM...
I recommend NAND.
In my opinion it's faster, more stable and less problems.
Great battery life. With normal use you can enjoy almost a day of battery.(but if you use 3G the battery dies)
Right now I'm using the rom TyphooN_CM7_v3.6.0 MAGLDR, my favorite.

===========================================

Yes definitely go for nand. Its so much smoother and faster than an SD build. I would imagine that android nand would conserve battery life vs. SD just because nand isn't going through so many processes to make your phone run.

Heck, if you really want to save your battery turn on airplane mode. You'll go for days

I would also agree with the other posters that going with a NAND ROM gives you better battery life than an SD ROM. For me, my current NAND ROM has a standby battery drain of 2-5mA vs. my previous SD ROM with a standby battery drain of 7-9mA. I am currently using Tytung's Nexus HD2 v3.0 ROM. Very stable and fast. Everything is working very well. No force closes or drops in data. Market is very stable as well. Call quality is very clear and probably is one of the best that I have tried. I use MAGLDR since it is very easy to use, is very stable and compared to an SD ROM, is much faster to load from off. Try 45-50 seconds from off. If I remember, my SD ROM took almost 4-5 minutes to boot up from off.

As i have just readed the posts would say that your main problem is the BATTERY thing..right??
NAND is is the most stable , fast , battery saver , that you can offer to your phone..as all the people of xda writing above me ^^.
Now if you care about battery try finding a rom thats STABLE ...and not fancy with Effects and cool weather ,live wallpapers and many many other..try getting something stable - fast - and with no much bg programs to run....!

Thank you all.
I've gone to a NAND MAGLDR ROM and I'm VEEERY HAPPY ... at least now .
Already looking to the change rom process so that I can find the one that best suits me.
Thanks again,
Pozi.

Dayly use, so:
phone + bt + wifi + good responsiveness/overall speed (actually Speed IS important)
gps (not frequent but must work)
battery life (*)
HTC Sense or SPB Shell ready ... any other fancy launcher?
Good to have: navigate through PC's internet connection when USB connected (though saving battery due to not use WIFI and not use my little 3G data plan). Maybe this can be added with an .apk ?
Thanks Pozi.
(*) By the way Panda_Face I followed your suggestion of flight mode to save battery, it did work and saved a lot of battery

There is a "patch" of sorts for GPS which makes it connect a lot faster. It usually takes a few minutes to get any sort of lock from the satellites without it. (Click here to read about it).
I'd recommend either the TyphooN Cyanogenmod or the Nexus HD2. They are both very stable, and have all the latest and greatest stuff for them. They are also well known. Their forum pages have been viewed millions (not joking) of times, so there is a lot of support. And as far as I know they both have everything working (phone + bt + wifi) are very responsive.
To help with responsiveness use just a plain old normal wallpaper. The live ones --from what I've seen--- tend to lag the scrolling and flipping home screens and such.
I use an app called "JuiceDefender". The free version turns off my data connection (3g) and periodically turns it back on to sync with email, etc. The other paid versions of this have more options such as managing your wifi and other connections. This alone has doubled my battery life.
Hope this helps!

Currently on TyphooN Cyanogenmod ... will keep an eye on the Nexus.
Thanks.

i use a patriot class 10 SD card running AmeriCan Android, and it is uber fast.... has anyone ever compared the speed of a class 10 and NAND??? im really curious about this to decide if i want to use NAND or not... lol, i just dont know if it is worth it to redo everything for a little extra battery life... lols...

Battery life is a plus. NAND is nice because it makes your phone feel now like a native android phone. Also you get to dedicate more space on your card for things. finally, you'll be getting rid of winmo 6.5 (worst operating system ever) it killed my first hd2; wouldn't boot one day.
Android NAND is the way to go
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I would also agree with Panda_Face, Android NAND is the way to go. Very smooth and fast. Much less memory intensive. Gingerbread ROM that I am on used a zip file of slightly less than 90mB vs. my old HTC Sense ROM using 445mB of space. Both NAND ROMs were smooth and fast but going with the "lighter" Gingerbread ROM gave me a much faster boot up time. Less than half the time the HTC Sense ROM I used. Battery life is better on NAND vs. SD. Also, when I was using Android via SD, I never realized until I went NAND, how the SD ROM was not smooth when compared to the NAND ROM I am using now.
