what's the point?

I'd say it's just to have everyone's pic/birthday on your phone.

Good stuff askwhy....

I see. I usually just add pics myself from FB. I think that would be better and you can use w/e pic you want and not just there profile pic. They should have done it more like SPB MS3. They have really good FB integeration for pics.

Does anyone have more information on this from the change log "Updated to Tachi Album 3.0 1914 Sys wheel enabled and smoother operation" I've searched in the original XDA port thread and anywhere else I could find. Is this a new dialer update? Where is the wheel enabled now. I'm hoping it's in the call history when you first open the Tachi dialer from the hard button. I don't use TF3D much any more so I've held off on the latest updates because 8/1 is running to perfection.

Just to clarify -- the power savings of Lumos is in its ability to, without your intervention, always make sure the backlight setting is optimal -- its job is not to directly reduce power consumption.

People who are installing Lumos and expecting an immediate and direct drop in battery usage are rather missing the point. The power savings from Lumos comes from using it to automatically reduce your backlight settings when appropriate, not from simply installing the application. All Lumos does is make sure that your backlight is never low when you need it to be high, but always low when you don't need it to be high. That's it.

So, if you install Lumos but then set a 'low-end' backlight cap of 60%, and leave the 'high-end' cap at 100%, you've just about wasted Lumos. It's not going to save you much power if it is never reducing your backlight significantly. Fluctuating between 60%-100% is hardly any power savings at all. You want to see power savings? Cut your low end cap to something tolerable, but conservative, like 40% or even 30% if you work indoors and your eyes are pretty good. Cut your high-end cap to 90% to take that extra unnecessary edge off, or even 80% if you are comfortable with that in outdoor lighting situations. Try that for a few days.

You don't need to take my word for it though, the laws of physics say it will work if you give it the opportunity -- it's quantifiable and repeatable -- so try it and if it doesn't work for you, beef with the Universe for bending the laws of physics in your neck of the woods, not people in this thread. Nobody in this thread has the power to bend the laws of physics, well, except maybe NRGZ28, but I think he uses that power exclusively for making uber ROMs.

NOTE: Lumos is just one program -- It's not a holy relic. If you are serious about extending your battery life, you should be doing many things to that effect, and don't expect miracles from any one change.

All I can say is WOW harsh words man. Sounds like someone got on your last nerve. I guess what your saying is the program only helps if its calibrated correctly?

Yes, I am saying that it only helps if it is calibrated correctly.

What was harsh about that? I just see Lumos being suggested every other page as a 'fix' for battery issues, and then people reporting that it didn't really 'fix' their issues. If people understood more of how it worked, and didn't assume it was a magic 'fix' I think they would get better results from it.

This doesn't have to do with the dialer. It says tachi Album, so it's prob just a new photo album.

I totally agree! Nothing was harsh in your statement askwhy.

I understand I'm sure its just the way I read it.

From what I heard from pocketnow.com and the WMExperts.com podcast is that 6.5 is RTM`d, and that the 23022 build is likely an update to it. Possibly 6.5.1 or 6.7 maybe released another few months after 6.5 as another update until WM 7. Ballmer said in an interview about 6 six months back that there might be something in between 6.5 and 7.

I can't wait until the new 23025 NRG is talking about!
