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)
those haven't ever been enabled, but i can try that.

Hello,

Windows Live now locks up the device and displays an "Ok" and "Menu" softkeys before freezing. Can't use this anymore, any ideas?

hi, also just upgraded to kitchen. things look great but have a few issues on my sprint ppc-6700:

1. Yes HTC 2.0 weather giving "uable to retrieve data for selected city" error. looked through thread and couldn't find solution even though mentioned by post 168 and 190

2. PIE notes that the version has expired and can't use all options

3. Downladed "epocrates" to storage card but it downloaded to Extended ROM in the storage card???

4. ROM date under device information still says 8/13/07(Hemli version CE 5.2.16##) should that have chaged to 11/17/07??

5. Seen the OEM version 0722 in a different thread now. should we be upgrading to this now??? how does that work since upgrading to this kitchen. Do you just reinstall over the kitchen

Please advise

Thanx again for everything

1. You need an updated HTC Home OEM. I made one and it can be found in the "HTC Home Weather stopped working" (or something like that) thread that should still be on the first page of this forum. It's an OEM, so you'll need to put it in your USER_OEM folder and build again.

2. That is because you chose to include PIE+ in your ROM. It's shareware with no trial period. You'll need to buy a key to use it.

3. That is a common issue (not just with epocrates) when the ExtROM is unhidden. Either don't unclude the "Unlock ExtROM" OEM or rehide the extrom using the appropriate registry entries (searching this forum for "rehide extrom" should pull something up--if not post back here).

4. No, the ROM date will not change when the kitchen changes. That date is built into the kernel.

5. I believe that's just an update to the buildos.exe file. Simply extract it and replace the one in C:\BuildOS\BuildOS.

When i install epocrates, you can choose memcard or extrom, you should be able to put it on the card, i did notice it ran much slower when i had it on my card though.

The last two days, my Apache has started to not recognize my mSD card.
It only happens occasionally and always finds it again after a soft reset.
It's only become a problem when my scheduled backup doesn't happen because a)Sprite backup is installed on the card and b) the backups are stored on the card so there is no place to backup! I do keep a copy of Sprite in my ExtROM, but it's not much help if there is no place to put the backup file.
It's also been noticed when I try to play a game that is on the card isn't found.

Dirty contacts??

I don't know if this applies to your situation, but because of the lack of a rubber
closure on the miniSD card slot, it is prone to attracting dust.

I had a similar problem to yours, I cleaned the contacts of the CD card with a Qtip and rubbing alcohol, and (carefully) aimed a shot of compressed (air with a small plastic tube) to blow the dust out of the slot. I believe you can buy small cans for dusting off keyboards, etc.

My card is back to normal. May be coincidence, but it won't hurt.

Be careful with the air, tho.
