Apache WM6 Kitchen CE OS 5.2.1908 (Build 18508.0.7.0) 071117_1 Bugs/Patches

[runt]

starting last friday, i started having a huge issue with battery life. used to run for almost all day without dropping much below half, now i go through a full battery (stock, 1500Mah or 2400Mah) in a couple of hours. anyone know what could be causing this? i didn't change anything that i can remember. do i just need to hard reset and see if that fixes it?

run acbpowermeter, and start killing processes. If your power usage is still high, then start disabling today items.

If your power usage is normal, but you are still having battery issues, then you likely have a today item that is making a data connection frequently.

A hard reset shouldn't be required, but you might experience temporary gain from a soft reset.

i didn't build abcpowermeter in. nothing on my today screen us making a data connection more frequently than it did before. i also disabled exchange email and have two imap accounts set to check once a hour (had exchage set to as items arrive from 8-5 and then every 4 hours the rest of the time). soft reset doesn't do much if anything.

i'm not sure what caused it yet, but the only thing i installed last week that uses a data connection is microsoft's remote display control, which does not work correctly with wm6 (locked up on me once).

You don't have to build in acbpowermeter to use it. Download and install the cab from here:

The new ROM is awesome! I have only 1 gripe!

The default Messenging program does not have the MMS account setup. I only have Text Messages & Outlook Mail

I'm also not able to send/receive any MMS messages obviously.
I'm on Verizon...

Any ideas???

If for any reason you uncheck the auto power off feature (either one) your battery will be toast.

S2U2 seems to put the thing in AC mode, I killed my battery today when I disabled AC timeout, forgot to re-enable it, and then ran the rest of the day... by 9 pm battery was in panic mode (normally it would be 50-60% by then)

Heh - yeah, that fancy highlighting stuff on the slider is a battery killer.

You didn't include Arcsoft MMS in your build. If you check the box for it, MMS will be included.

Are you running the HTC Home plugin by any chance? I've been noticing horrible battery life since last Friday as well, but then I realized that the weather feature stopped working, and it has been sitting there non stop trying to download the weather. (there is a fix for that).

Has anybody successfully gotten "Hbutton" to work? It allows me to remap the hard buttons, but errors out when I push them.
