Apache WM6.1 Kitchen CE OS 5.2.19716 (Build 19716.1.0.0) - UPDATED 20080308

[jnjn]

confirmed, resco explorer in the recent kitchen cannot access cifs (samba/windows share) shares. install resco explorer manually, and everything is accessible. could somebody check and fix this?

What's he's saying is that 350 mAH would drain a 1350 mAH battery in around 4 hours, not 50 minutes.

[sscholar]

I totally understand that the 350 mA average on my test doesn't match the 1350 mAh capacity, but I am getting the same result with two different batteries. Either the measurement is inaccurate, the batteries are both defective, or it is something unexplainable. I just know that under WM 5 a month ago, this was not a problem.

edufur,

What I meant was you would have to draw 1350 mA for a whole hour to completely deplete that battery. Since the battery was drained, either there is much more than 350 mA draw or the battery capacity is way less than 1350 mAh.

What was the Total mAh shown by acbPowerMeter at the end of your test? Based on 350 mA, it should have been only about 290 mAh.

sscholar,

I would not be quick to assume that either battery is good. They fail without any real warning and even if "new" they might be old stock. I have had more than one battery go from great to toss in a week or two.

I also cannot discount the possibility of a rom issue, possibly related to a hardware version change; possibly something else.

You are one of the few who have given data to go along with the "battery life sux rocks" complaint - a little data may be just what we need for someone to figure it out.

So what was your total mAh (from acbPowerMeter) and test times on each battery? Do they differ? If you flash back to Verizon stock, what are your results?

[ran-o-matic]

One more question - How long does it take to charge the battery once it has went flat? Could it be that the battery life indication in incorrect? I seem to remember that being based on voltage.

[sscholar]

The total mAh were 250 & 280. I haven't timed a recharge, but it does seem fairly quick for both batteries. The phone does die at the end, so it is unlikely that the battery indicator is wrong. I guess it is possible that both batteries have impaired capacity. I just ordered a new battery, so I will soon find out.

Hey guys,

I'm new here but I have been using/doing the OS upgrades for about 1yr. I love the stuff you guys have done with everything. I only have a couple of problems maybe somebody can help me out.
1. The battery drains extremely quickly (i know alot of ppl are having the same issue and i will be looking at other threads for solutions as well)
2. I am not able to send picture messages and video messages anymore, (now that i upgraded to 6.1) i have checked all the settings and even tried different settings for the sprint server that i was using before. THis sucks!! lol, I am able to recieve picture and video messages and view them w.o a problem tho. I just want to be able to reply with a pic or vid as well
I know my plan has it, I have the simply everything plan now. I have done reloads, I just cant get it to send out. I acts like it will send then i get a 'message not sent notification'

IDK im just really fustrated if anybody has any suggestions please let me know. Im will to try ideas, just give me clear instructions lol.

Other than that, who is actually looking into the new samsung instinct phone??

Thanks,
miguel

You can't use the Arcsoft hack anymore to send pix. Sprint is blocking it.
Try this:http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=22509 sMMS is a new workaround in development.

That Samsung sure looks like an iPhone!!!

It reads,

After a couple of seconds it gives you another message

I really need this feature I used it alot, so any advise would be greatly appreciated.
