Bro oldnewspaper,

any tips and tricks to solve this baby's battery drainage issue yet? please advice.
*
1. Disable 3G and change to GSM mode [only use it when necessary]

2. Disable the beam function [only use it when necessary]

3. DO NOT lock the phone by either pressing/hold the end key for >5 sec or thru the phone lock setting [this is the main culprit in TP]

4. use the auto adjust backlight mode [ in the battery setting ]

Why does locking the phone drain the battery ?
*
no idea why....could be the firmware bug [stock rom]...few user here tested it before and yes this feature does really drain the battery extremely fast.

Hi old newspaper,

May I know how fast is "fast"?
I'm using WM default autolock everyday.
No big concern so far.
*
here's my observation/test; [ no activity used at all during the test period ]

8.00am - 100% fully charge
2.00pm - battery shown approximately 70% ++

if without lock - the battery will still shown 100% ! [ at 2.00pm ]

Geez, using a WM device surely poses alot of challenge. Doesn't HTC improved their ROM from time to time and just release new ROM each time?
*
i agree with you...lol. just hoping HTC will release an TP firmware update real soon.....and this could be the reason why many don't stick to the stock rom but opt for those cooked rom... sweat.gif

QUOTE(psjjl @ Oct 27 2008, 03:06 PM)
the SaveBatteryHTC_Juno is just a very tiny software. 3K in a cab and will only take 2K when install in the RAM. No application icon in the program menu to start this software. Dont know whether it will work. Will tell the outcome 24 hours from now.

0_0 serious shet. i think more like your battery level never refresh la lol. i notice in TD sometimes the battery level indicator isnt accurate cuz doesnt refresh properly.

if u wanna test, u need to test the mah used with and without lock mode
*
i just test purely on observation basis, didn't check the mAh fluctuation.....lazy d....lol. anyway i'm using the VGA battery indicator by FInixNOver and it pretty accurate on the percentage of the battery level. without lock function, i am very happy with my battery life.....moderate phone call, wifi, light gaming can last for 2 1/2 day d!

QUOTE(psjjl @ Oct 27 2008, 03:30 PM)
u will find the percentage of the battery increase ( mine from 21% to 27% ) after installation. oh ya dont forget to restart your baby when it asked.

this is serious improvement....straight increase of battery level right after installation.....

Bought it on 21 Oct thru maxis deal. Part of the reason that encourages me to go for it was bcoz of this forum. Thanks for all the sharing and feedback  notworthy.gif . This is my 1st pda phone and still exploring it. Just managed to get the mapking working last nite, it was amazing  rclxm9.gif . Will definitely try those tweak as suggested later.

not sure about the lock does drain the battery cos i don't use any lock at all, not even the default one tongue.gif

@maxtek, robinlim - guys, i still remember when this thread was started, already few user complain about the battery charging problem, fast battery drain etc etc and they got it replaced by the dealer, so i wonder will those irresponsible dealer will just swap the batter and pass it on to the next unlucky buyer..... hmm.gif just my thought......

Oh no... sad.gif

I am now having problem with my AC charger, it seems not charging when i plug it on. It was ok previously but now i have to charge it using the USB thru my laptop or car charger.

Sent an email to the sis customer care, now waiting for reply.

BTW, thanks Old Newspaper. I will definitely try the Garmin later.
*
bro, call SIS straight, don't email to them...sometimes it takes ages for them to reply to you......since your TP is quite new why not bring it back to your dealer to get it replace for you...

QUOTE(robinlim @ Oct 28 2008, 11:27 AM)
not sure bout that, but definitely there're those irresponsible dealers around gah hmm.gif
in fact my battery had been replaced once
it's much better than the first battery
but still couldn't match yours sweat.gif

btw old newspaper bro, did u set ur battery power to "Turn off device if not used for ? min"?
I didn't set that previously
I always set the sleep mode manually
but whenever there's a missed call or calender reminder while i was not around
it'll on wake up mode
wondering is this one of the reason hmm.gif

Added on October 28, 2008, 11:31 am

I've oredi dumped the HTC charger
i think something wrong with it
few times charged for the whole night couldn't get 100% doh.gif

now using normal mini USB charger
full charge within few hours biggrin.gif
*
yes, i did set the 'Turn off device if not used for....1 min' to be exact. it's the default setting.....

bro, how on earth can you survive without using the charger? hmm.gif why not get your replaced by SIS? with the original desktop charger, it usually takes less than an hour to get it fully charged.....

QUOTE(SFOD-D @ Oct 28 2008, 02:35 PM)
I dont care what XDA or others claims... my TP till now 2.30pm with a single charge 10.00am yerterday with calls, sms, you tube, soft reset, backup etc etc still got 40 percent juice left. For those who might have problems with battery probably due to tweaking??
*
we can't really compare our TP's battery life with those counterpart region....reason being was;
1. different cellular network
2. different firmware/ radio rom [ usually radio rom is the main culprit of this ]

my TP is heavily 'tweak' tongue.gif but i don't face any fast battery drain issue here...

QUOTE(New_kid @ Oct 29 2008, 09:21 AM)
Actually i had a lil prob with my tp yesterday...
I charged my TP at bout 3.40 am, when i checked it at 6.30, it is still one bar away from full... Shouldn't it be full already?
I then restarted my TP using the on/off button on the top... Then my battery icon in the system tray is missing... I tap the system tray and it shows 4 icons including the battery icon and i then tap the battery icon... much to my surprise, my battery is full now... and when i exit it, my battery icon appears now in the system tray... BTW i'm using the original battery indicator...

Sorry again, i'm a newbie in tweaking, so can anyone give me some website which teaches step by step tweaking? I wanna try to use advance configuration tool v3.3 but not really sure how to do it... I don't even know how to install apps, games, ebooks and skyskape... And how to make some folders appear in the programs? Sorry for the multiple questions but i'm really new in the PDA thingy... hope to get some help here...

Thx in advance...
*
1. missing battery : try to set the clock always appear on all program.....thru the clock and alarm setting

2. accurate battery level indicator - try to use the FInixNOver VGA Battery Icon

3. installing application method;

there's 2 type of installer file extension for ppc, .exe and .cab file.

[.exe ] file - you need to sync the ppc with your computer first and execute the .exe file to install it, however there some .exe file where you need not to install, just copy the .exe file and run it straight from your ppc

[.cab ] file - just copy the file to your ppc and install it from ppc itself.

if in any case you can't run the installer after trying both method, pls check the .NET framework that you have, always update to the newest one cos some application does require the newer one

4. tweaking - try to use the Advance Config Tools 3.3 first if your new in tweaking, don't tweak thru registry editor first [ we will guide you later on this ]

all the necessary files/application is all listed in the first page....and please read the description of it first. you don't have to install all if your TP don't have such issue.....

we have many sifus here to help you out, don't worry....cheers up bro and enjoy your TP! icon_rolleyes.gif

hi guys ... my tp wont mute when i flip it  cry.gif

already tweak it using diamond tweak ... last time after twaek can mute but now suddenly cant mute  blink.gif

helppppppppppp............
*
flip mute function is on by default, no need to tweak it.....this function does work if you flip down and put on a rather flat surface for it to work effectively, by just holding it and flip with hand, it won't work effectively...

Ok... Let's see who has a solution for this:

In the T3D home, i realised that if I put my appointments to 'All Day' only 1 will show up.

If I put the time of the appointment, it would show...

Any solution that if I put many appointments on 'All Day' it would show up?

Cheers!

try set the reminder to above 1 hour, it will surely appear.....

QUOTE(santaclaus @ Oct 30 2008, 11:32 AM)
omg ... i changed to schap's registry but the flip mute problem stil exist

and now when i browse the website ... even i turn the phone ... the web din turn unless i slide the qwerty out
*
Opera browser by default should turn orientation when you turn your phone......if it doesn't try to reconfigure the G-Sensor function. you probably might want to try Gyrator 2 application...it work great on every pieces of my applications [ except the manila/TF3D ]

the ringtone patch has nothing to with the input function.....wondering what else have you done to have this issue hmm.gif just try to soft reset and see whether this issue still bothering?

did your TP suffer from ring delay? it's normal if it's delay for a second or two unless it delay for more than 5 seconds....

hello ppl,

New Touch Pro user reporting in.

Here's my short summary for the phone after using it for approx a week.

Fav features,
- Screen Reso (my fav feature)
im totally in love with the reso output of the TP, totally sharp and awesome, i love browsing with it on the go, despite having smaller fonts, but webpages are much more viewable. LYN can be browsed without sweat.

- Slideout Keyboard
the keyboard is really usefull, by far, one of the best slideout kb ive used on PDAs. Though the keys are small, ive got no problem navigating over it with my big thumbs, the keys has a solid feel to it, theres 1 problem though, the slide part gets annoyed sometimes when the TP is used without it, when you hold the phone, you will feel the slight slide-motion which gives you a very insecure feeling. For ppl like me who wipes the screen alot (fingerprints), you should get what i mean...

- Audio/Video
The display quality is great no doubt, plays video perfectly though it a little on higher reso. The speakers are quite disappointing though... well.. maybe coz im used to SE phones speakers.

- GPS
the gps is handy at times, im always on the run and at times i need to go places im not familiar with, so far the GPS never failed me yet. (using mapking btw)

All in All,
By far, ive never encountered any of the reported problems. All features and functions works flawlessly. The TF3d is nice too, makes navigating the TP more interesting and is not much different from a normal phone which is good.

This is one of the most features packed phone ive ever owned, as well as the most expensive one. The aesthetic features are great too. No Regrets getting the TP..... yet..

Added on October 31, 2008, 1:27 pmbtw... yes the batteries life is pretty disappointing.
*
congrats and welcome to the family rclxms.gif i guess tweaking your TP is not an issue as for the 'hardcore overclocker' like yourself..... tongue.gif

battery life is very subjective to individual [ some do and some don't like it ] due to the differential usage pattern and also the battery conditions itself...

i understand your pain bro.....i doubt SIS will change it straight for you as yours is almost 2 months old, they will say it's due to normal tear and wear bla bla bla....or whatever reason they can come out with. have you try to ask the dealer to help you out on this matter?
