did you run something like quickgps in winmo before running haret?

before using the gps the last time the phone did not reboot itself I did not use the GPS in windows mobile before launching haret

My battery lasted nearly 20 hours. That was what I consider light to moderate usage, there was a fairly big stretch where it was just sleeping (as I was asleep).

Either way, proper panel collapse will yield better sleep times - did you make sure your phone was properly sleeping...? Should get a solid green LED if it's sleeping.

Also, reboot loops? Do you mean where it's just slow? That's system_server being a bitch - just make a phone call to voicemail, works wonders for whatever reason.

I echo the QuickGPS comment above as well in respect to GPS. That's always applied, nothing with GPS has changed/been adjusted with this kernel.




Oh, and the first post is updated. Fresh new kernel hotness, kbd backlight 'flicker' is fixed, the backlight is basically on at a constant level now. Enjoy!

This last kernel has some issues, screen sensitivity very sluggish and the screen turns black.
I will revert back to the earlier one.
hmmm.Crap I deleted it.

Booted the phone again and the issue disappeared, kind of weird.

By reboot loop it actually reset the phone to the boot splash where it says HTC Touch pro 2 and the radio and ROM versions are showing. Knock on wood the phone was still connected to ADB when I woke up this morning! Also, not sure if I ever saw the greenI LED lit up, it has gone that far to sleep in the past, so I'll have to dig into that closer, any suggestions?

I definitely see some green action now from the LED, mostly green when the phone sits unplugged, so I guess it's sleeping. Is the kernel option pm.sleep_mode=0 necessary for 20 hrs of battery life?

wasnt it supposed to be pm.sleep_mode=1 thanks to bzos patches ?

Yes, I would set the value to 1.

Green=Sleep, Orange=Wake. WisTilt2 was gracious enough to match his LED pattern to the main kernel, even tho he doesn't agree with it

At any rate, if you're not sleeping there's a couple of bugs related to sleep - for some reason, I found the phone won't sleep if the GPS sats are checked in Location&Security. Seems dumb, but I can't even have that setting enabled - even if nothing is actively polling the GPS radio. I've already got a bug open on it.

I already hit the thanks but wanted to say it too. And yes, I got the phone working along with most of the bathroom issues, except that the sink still leaks a little... that's tonight's fix, AFTER I update to the latest kernel!!!

Glad to be of service . I'll keep updating as soon as I get new stuff in!
