Hello all -
Been catching up on the goings on over here on the NRG thread for the past 30 - 40 minutes. Pretty interesting and a bunch of new faces. Welcome to everyone.
I noticed some topics being discussed lately are battery life (again), tachi dialer issues, SIP xt9 problems and activesync.
Brief opinions on the above subjects...

Battery life - LUMOS!, polling and SuspendResume #777
Don't confuse data being CONNECTED with data being ACTIVE. There is a HUGE difference. The tweaks to DISCONNNECT your data connection almost ALWAYS have an adverse effect on the Tachi Dialer. The SuspendResume #777 registry will allow your data to go INACTIVE which means that your data connection can go INACTIVE to MAKE or RECEIVE calls then reactivate when needed.
Changing all of the settings in the weather tab probably did NOT fix your problem, what did fix it was changing from a 10 min disconnect to 2 min disconnect of data. If your SuspendResume was already #777 then it just INACTIVATED the data connection at 2 min.
Oh, and whoever was using that push mail program is most likely taking a hit to the battery. I did when I used it. Suprisingly, Google's new push mail seems to work pretty well and I haven't noticed much of a hit on battery life either.

Tachi Dialer issues are most likely being caused inadvertently by applying tweaks which modify SuspendResume in the registry. Caution: Removing the Tachi Dialer skin will disable correct function of the people tab.
Final word on this is #777 my friend.

xt9 issues if you can't get the abc to stick try changing to abc then typing some numbers then you can erase them. Should allow abc to stick. Another fix I have seen is to open the hardware keyboard and hit FN + spacebar.

I have seen the Activesync problem before and deleting my partnership on the PC and ensuring you have the correct identity in the phone BEFORE you establish a new connection will usually fix the issue. BTW I have never installed any drivers for my phone. I actually don't know that they exist.

I know Threefaces, Winmo and others piped in on these and just wanted to share what I've found.

I tried all that so ABC mode would stick in google maps, but it still doesn't. And google maps is the only program that's being a B**** about it. Dunno why, hopefully the next update would solve this.
