Hi, i m very happy with the new rom but i have a problem.
I set my emails accounts to periodically (30 minutes) check the account. With other roms when the precess was done then the connection was closed. With the new ROM the UMTS connection keeps stablished and the battery is out in a few hours. Does somebody know how to avoid it??
Thanks...
Same problem here... anybody??
Thanks in advance.
-......and the "always on" is set to 0.....
I am afraid that would undermine the whole definition of Push Mail. So it could very well be that it is impossible.
I remember reading an article about Push Mail and there one of the Microsoft engineers has been talking about that if you use GPRS the battery consumption is much and much less. But hey then whty buy a 3G phone. Also as I understand the GPRS is not able to properly handle the GSM simultaneously. At least I know in QTEK 110S when GPRS is actively downloading data you are unreachable for calls.... UMTS makes that possible.
I suppose it...but now ...
1) I cant automatically check my email (the connection keeps on)
2) I cant automatillally download the weather forecast(the connection keeps on).
......
I cant schedule any application that uses any connection because it keeps on and it drains the battery very quickly.
What can i do?
thanks
the weather program should have a seeting to use an active connection if av ailable. At least I have seen it in some weather programs. And if yours does not have it then get another one.
About other progs that need a connection. If I start IE I can just start browsing and works fine.
About you not being able to automatically check e-mail? I thought you enabled the Push email so what are you talking abouy. It automatically pushes emails to you ?????
ye, yes but what i want is when the program (mail, pocket weather, etc) finishs to use the connection then it is shutted down by the OS.
My job is Windows CE software developer and this is a problem. BEFORE (with old roms) when a program needs a connection the it requests a connection to the Connection manager. Then after use it, the program usually release it (using the connection manager). When no programs needs a connection then the connection manager shutted down the connection (if it was GPRS or UMTS). With the new ROM the connection manager doesnt shut down the connection.....
Yea you are right....
It is the disconnect part.
Well the battery drain is more then.
But hey I am not so bothered because I can load the battery at home in the office and in the car and when I go on vacation I turn the Pushmail offf
semi solved
Hi,
I ve wrote a little C program, 5 Kb. This program monitor any posible GPRS=UMTS connection. If it detects that this connection isnt used in 1 minute(no incoming bytes in one minute) then the connection will be closed.
this program hasnt UI so you will not see anything when you execute it. I will improve it adding a botton icon allowing the set the "one minute" parameter and the posibility to exit it....Obviously the program doesnt run when the device is suspended......
.. it should be placed in \windows\startup folder to run after each reset....
Hi dherrero,
Thanks for posting a great program. I had exactly the same issue as this but your program works perfectly and it disconnects it when the connection is not used for a minute or so.
The only probelm I have now is I equally get disconnected by this program when I am browsing websites with PIE and that is very annoying. I would appreciate it if you could modify this program to make it work only for email checking.
Kind regards,
Hi,
I am improving this little program. it isnt finished but it solves your problem. I recommend you to put it in rom and put a link in windows\starup.
When the system boots you will see a little white-blue icon in the bottom-right.
If you click this icon you will see a screen that show:
1) Bytes received in current connection.
2) Connections that the program has closed.
3) Startup time.
4) Connections checks done. (one each 30 seconds)
5) Last check date
6) Last close date.
And 4 buttons .
1) Disable: It's interesting for you. It disables the action of closing the connections.
2) Enable. The opposite. (by default it is enabled)
3) OK. Hide this screen
4) Close: Close the program.....
I hope it is usefull to you....

hi dherrero
from where can I download your prog?
tx for help
You have to login, or register if you havent, and you will see the link.....
Hi dherrero,
Thanks for getting back so promptly. It works nice on my device and now I can manually disable it directly from the Today screen when I need to.
A minor problem I found is that the characters on the Connection Manager control panel get truncated. This is probably due the fact that I have a Japanese ttc font installed to replace the default system font by tweaking the registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink\".
I hope this helps your development. Thanks again...
Hi again,
I always develop in VGA, using ozVGA. Now i ve changed the positions and now it looks correctly in vga and sevga.
Hi dherrero,
Thanks a lot!
It now runs flawlessly...
I'm running Meschle's wonderful new Touch 3.0 ROM, however I've installed some MS Exchange messaging software and its forced me to configure & use the "Lock" function within the Settings screen.
Now that its turned on the "Lock" function, its protected the tick box and it won't let me "untick" it to turn it off again.
Can anyone advise of the registry key I need to change (or of any other way) to either unprotect the "tick" box within the Lock option so that I can turn it off again, or to extend the "timeout" values it gives, so that I can have a timeout longer than the current maximum of just 20 minutes....
Thanks,
Graham.
First enable the box again to untick it:
HKLM\Security\Policies\00001023
0 = Enabled; 1 = Disabled
Then install Zenyee.com Stay Unlock.cab and soft reset your device.
This program will prevent the lock to be activated again.
Thanks JR - This will be great if it works....
I've installed it, so time will tell.
Can you tell me how the app works?
My exchange server tries to enforce the security every day and whatever I change in the registry, it resets it to a max 20 min timeout and an min 8 digit PIN (which is a real pain).
I wonder how the two are going to get on on Monday morning....
When I try to change the value on my Touch, it says access denied. Any idea how else to get around it? It's driving me nuts!!
Expand lockout time
Graham,
I've had the same issue's as you did with the exchange time, but i've found the regkey on the device which you can change:
Hklm\comm\security\policy\lassd\ae\{50c1337-...}
here you can change the value to a more "sutable time periode.
Value gives the minutes until lockdown... (normally 15 minutes but if you set it to 1440 you have 24 hours)
Exchange doesn't check this value.
It worked with my device htc P3300 with WM6 and exchange 2007 sp1.
Good Luck

This work for the ATT TILT2 with WM6.5. The lock only comes up when powering up.
Thanks
Is there/or will there be a WM 6 ROM that has Microsoft Direct push?????
I am using CRCs PHKV12r7 at the moment,
Or is it under a Different name?
All WM6 ROMs have direct push. Just configure your Exchange account as usual and make sure the schedule is set to As items arrive. Is there anything to indicate that your ROM lacks this capability?

Just remember that DirectPush uses up a lot of battery.
DirectPush is based on non-expiring long HTTPS sessions. My provider here in the US (Cingular) has the session valid for 480 seconds (8 minutes), so the phone reconnects to exchange every 8 minutes (it does more frequently if Im not in HSDPA/EDGE network areas). With HSDPA, this means Im almost always connected and use up lot of battery.
My informal studies shows battery life of about 20 hours with DirectPush enabled and more than 40 hours with synch every 30 minutes. of course, I get mails only on the 30 minute mark. You can see this with the abcPowerMeter tool, shows spikes of 400mA (from 18mA steady state) eveyr 4 minutes, even if only for 5-10 seconds
Side remark, I find that having DirectPush enabled makes my IM sessions reliable, else, my IM disconnects and messages to me go to ether.

This is going into OT territory, but 8 minute validity?! That is pretty bad. How did you find out about that?
Also, it's not that you're "almost always" connected - you are always connected, otherwise the HTTP session will die.
Once attached the session uses the battery more only when there is data activity, come on now my TyTN sits connected over HSDPA all day and i dont use up the battery.
I get a fair ammount of emails via push and an average ammount of txts and phone calls.
I agree with mrvanx. I use direct push. And my phone just sat yesterday all day (literally 15hrs). when I picked it up the battery was still @ 92%. I did use it once for about a 3 min. Call.

Was it on 2g or 3G?

most likely 2G i would think, my battery is around 30% end of the day.
Im not sure i could put up with the extra bulk of an extended battery.
When setting the time and date, the device does not show the different time zone in the "Home" & "visiting" areas in spite of the fact that one is set GTM+1 and the other GTM+2
Both show the same time.
Any ideas/help how to set it correctly?
Does anyone have any idea - because Microshaft don't seem to have a freakin' clue - what the hell is the matter with DST and Windows Mobile Device Center?
I have a Vista laptop with Outlook 2007, and the Calendar is set to Eastern USA and Canada (GMT-0500) with NO Daylight Saving... as the Caymans don't use it... most of the equitorial Caribbean doesn't either for that matter.
I also have Windoze MDC v6.1.6965 which I synch said Outlook/Calendar data and various program data synchs - none of those programs use time information e.g. SPB Wallet.
The laptop Control Panel settings are also set to Eastern (US and Canada GMT -0500) with NO 'Automatically adjust for DST' as, again, the Caymans don't use it.
My phone is an HTC unbranded TP2 with their new WM6.5 ROM - although the DST problem was also the same in 6.1! - with my World Clock setting to George Town, Grand Cayman - I neither use the new 'My Location' feature, because that is an even bigger clusterphuck of a problem, nor do I use the local phone provider auto settings feature.
In Settings/Personal/Phone the Time Zones tab has a tick box option to "Automatically change time zone and clock" - this is left UNchecked.
In essence, both laptop and phone are configured manually to sompletely ignore DST for my local location (KY).
However, when I synch with WMDC it advances the clock on the TP2 one hour - every bluddy time! - and still manages to show every other timezone incorrect, especially those that actually use DST.
E.g. I have to call Bermuda and London, etc. regularly, and their times are wrong on the phone... both of them use DST (i.e. London is currently on British Summer Time = GMT+0100) so are (at present) 6 hours ahead of the Caymans, and Bermuda should be 2 hours ahead.
However, phone is only showing 5 hours ahead in London and Bermuda is showing as SAME TIME as Cayman... when it should be reading two hours ahead.
Just about to give up on it... or has anyone got a fix/patch
Surely if Mirosoft can program Exchange Server to get this right, they can get the damn system to work on pocket software... or is that too much to ask??
The old Active Synch program used to have a checkbox about adjusting for DST, but WMDC doesn't.
Have emailed HTC 'support' (and I use that word loosely) who simply blame Microsoft, whilst Bill's Boys blame HTC or haven't a clue.... or (best one yet) "can't reproduce the error"... like I'm making it up
Anyone? There's a week of coffees in it to anyone who can come up with a simple fix/cab/reg hack that doesn't involve:
a) reprogramming the ROM
b) loading a cooked non-standard ROM
c) understanding machine code; or
d) drowning the TP2 in a vat of boiling tar... however tempting that is at the moment.
Thanks.
