ROUND 3
NRG: ..tomorrow (Wednesday) the day for me to come in here and discuss all the problems. I'll be on here on and off today, but tomorrow you'll get me full time from 8 am to 3 pm (PST) (11-6 EST). I'll have my sprint TP2 ready for testing stuff and we can work together to make this a better ROM.
.
Energy ROM's are always the first to be updated & contain the latest Win OS, HTC Sense, dll's, cabs, apps, etc.. THANK YOU NRG!
*** this list started as a top 5 kinda thing, based on NRG twitter to visit & handle Q's, bugs, etc.. but this has morphed to make these ROM's look like they have tons of issues, they don't .. NGR ROM's ROCK!!! ... that's why we are all using them & always waiting for the next one to flash!!
*** will probably be the last time I bump & update this thing for that reason alone, unless NRG requests it..
*** Most of the items below are simply part of the learning curve.. and are NOT bugs! (don't want to scare off newbies..)
People with Q's or bugs or the issues below should do a short post, WHAT ROM & CARRIER you have & if you still are having issues. (NOT quote this long post)
DISCLAIMER: personally don't have some issues with some of these, just simply trying to summarize frequent questions & perceived bugs... Some suggestions post after Question/issue below. (QA: Quick Answer.. not long one, nor all of the answers)

* QA: possibles: old ROM's did it more with early Cookie versions & betas (update ROM), lockscreen issues, remove or slow down your overclocking..
#
27598 for #9. i dont think its actually an SOD. its more like you need to keep pressing the power button multiple times until the screen turns on. its like the screen is not powered on but all other functions are working(black screen). also the newer roms do it also. and even with a hard reset with no overclocking, the problem still occurs. i am using sencity 2168X classic oct 25. sometimes i need to push it about 20 times over and over again until screen turns on..occurs with or without lockscreen enabled
10. "Keep getting low memory message":
* QA: look in settings & use the start menu layout switch to change to panel, CSM or Sense startmenu. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...842738#1842738 read step VII.
11. "Why are MMS pics limited to 1 MB?":#
27544 Kiowa: cab named "sprint arcsoft mms 5mb size" to change from 1mb to 5mb
12.
* "Is there a fix or CAB to get DRM working on this ROM?"
13. "Battery life sucks! What can I do?"
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...842738#1842738 read step VI.
14. "Regardless of the ROM I use, it always ends up slowing down." #

16.
* " Did anyone ever come up with an easy .Cab to fix for usb tethering?" USB tethering is not working.
* QA: install SIM card, works most of time
17.
* New? freeze/sod while playing music?... "if the screen off with the power button (or time out..), music will freeze and force a SR after 30 seconds or so". #
27559
* QA: ~possible fix/cause per sly PM: "probably due to OCT1.5. I tried OCT recently and saw that (it's a known issue in the OCT thread). Went back to OC_Auto and no more SOD"
18.
* "New MMS shortcut not working." #
27562
19.
* "QuickGPS automatically download satellites? Yes I have it checked off but it never downloads automatically."
20. "If I hit the button to get the onscreen keyboard button, how to I get the onscreen keyboard off the screen again? Hitting the button again just brings up the keyboard selection screen."
* QA: tap below screen keyboard button (off of screen largest area, easy to hit), also: tap the left side, it goes away.. tap the right side, the SIP menu comes up..
21. New txt msg: Insert picture is sometimes greyed out...
looking at a picture (full screen) in the htc album, if you click send to: Messages, it just opens up a standard txt msg.... not a picture mail with the photo already attached. Further: after it opens up the standard txt msg, it's now one of the times you cant insert photo cause it's greyed out. #27629
QA: To send a mms when looking at a picture (full screen), choose e-mail and not messages. Once the next screen appears, choose arcsoft mms picture (I'm assuming nrg cookes arcsoft into the ROM). It will then open arcsoft with the picture inserted for you.
TOP SUGGESTIONS:
1. Build in NK fix or at least give some info as to why not or if you already have it built in. (many posts)
2. Build in Boush MMS fix cab AND 5mb fix into" carrier provisioning #

9. Fix: On the Oct 25 21682 Sencity Theme ROM... When u press action and camera it takes u to the camcorder, also Data disconnects sometimes while using data.
** NRG addressed camera part of Q: #27592,
** New ROM changelog: "Fixed action screen camera shortcut to always launch the camera in picture mode" probably won't be a cab fix, update ROM

OTHER ISSUES:
VOLUME: #
27575 In a Media app (YouTube, HTC Album, CorePlayer, TCPMP, etc.) and try to change the volume, the volume panel thing comes up and if I have a video going on in the background the part of the video outside of the panel freezes while the video continues playing in that little tiny box thing...on the stock ROM that if I change the volume in Media apps like the ones listed above, a HTC style volume indicator would pop up on the side and the video would continue playing like normal.
Fix?:#
27581
NRG todo:
make the volume screen look like the music/video volume screen in any other app (like for example.. the email or texting app). That would help a lot I'm sure as I woudlnt completely block your view.
Keyboard: Would like for the keyboard to pop up automatically when i hit reply and it brings up the screen to reply to the message. When we set swype as the keyboard it resets to the default keyboard after a soft reset, same thing if i have full qwerty set with xt9.. after a soft reset it defaults back to abc, anyway to make those things stick? #

~ideally would prefer to focus on issues with regular & frequent posters here, using Energy ROM's on a daily basis..
