I am having what I would consider very poor battery life from my Prophet (Qtek s200) compared to what I get from my 8125 (wizard). I have exactly the same software/today screen, etc installed on both. I flashed to Prophet to the newest qtek ROM with 100% battery (xda-developers said that would help improve battery) and did the same with my wizard (newest wizard Rom). With what I would consider moderate usage of both devices throughout the day, by 12 midnight I have about 70% left on the wizard and about 40% left on the prophet. Is there any reason I would get different battery lives with EXACTLY the same software, etc installed?
I have edited to reg. to have GPRS alway on on both, I know that this saps the battery a bit, but how much? Would resetting this to default really improve life? My today items are Wisbar Advance 2, weatherpanel, pocketbreeze (with newspanel in pocketbreeze)
weatherpanel, newspanel, are set to update every 30 minutes outlook checks my email every 60 seconds.....
I know all of the above takes more battery , but it is annoying that my wizard can do this and still have 70% at the end of the day (giving me about 2.5 days of battery life on full charge) the prophet would last just over 1 day with full charge! Anyone have any suggestions?
are the capacity of the 2 batteries the same for the 2 different models?
ie wizard vs prophet?
btw, do u have any traylaunch apps running?
check the notification queue to see if both are the same..
perhaps list down your apps installed from the "remove programs" applet

Where is your battery indicator coming from? Standard OS, or have you tried 3rd party ones as well?
What does it show in settings > power?

Battery problem
this indicators come from the standard OS, both indicators in setting->power show 100% for main battery and backup one, never tried 3rd party software,give me recommendation
Thanks for fast reply
I use smallmenu. It's got a battery display and many other useful functions.

ok, please send me a url to download this program, however i think this will not solve the problem, but i will try, also please tell me how to backup the extended rom incase that i try to install another rom version, if that may solve the problem
B.Regards
i made a backup of the extended rom, and installed the latest rom available here for the magician, same version number as my old one, and still nothing, battery indicator show 100% and doesnt move
sounds to me like an internel fault of the phone... possibly some grit has entered the phone and damaged the votage sensing cercuit.
Also (not sure about this phone), some devices have a smart battery where there is a small pcb inside it that reports to the phone the batteries serial no, charge level and other ACPI type info. If this is the case, you might try a new battery, it may fix it
Someone correct the above if they know the battery does not contain anything but... well a battery.
I remember seeing a cab that fixes the battery drain problem for WM6. Ive been searching and searching but couldn't find it. The search tool on the forum is useless at finding what i want. can anyone link me to that cab? I just want to try it on my T-mobile Wing cause the battery drains like crazy.
I think the only fix that was posted was the SD card power managment disable thing - the .CAB was called 'sd-battery-save.cab' and contained the registry settings:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class]
"DisablePowerManagement" = dword : 00000000
I could be (and usually am) wrong.....

thanks for the quick reply. really helpful. im going to try it to see how it goes. thanks again.
another thing is some apps that you might have may cause your battery to drain also. I.e. batterystatus, push mail, some weather apps. pretty much anything that keeps you wizard busy by connectin to gprs or updating constanly things like that. so play with your apps do a little test. I actually have that power saving cab. ill upload for you when I get home, but in the mean time try some of those things I meantioned.
from my experience:
1. 318 OS ver is the best for power
2. push mail (exchange or live) and constant weather update using gprs will very fast drain battery. For example: i just use exch mail with push my battery will last 1-2 days if i change from push to check every 5 min i get o extra day...
3. batterystatus: using it i get around 10-15% faster drain but a lot of improvement in speed
there are 2 cabs out there one is something like HTC power management and another is the above SD battery fix.
here's the 2 fixes, SD batt. save improved the rom NBD 7.4 im using, enjoy

I am running wm6.1 ajc2003s build....5.2.19521. The battery life is stupendous!! I have my device steady overclocked at 286 running a bluetooth WMP stream for a good 3hrs in the morning w/ calls. My gprs is always connected. I run spb mobile shell, pocketCm, opera mini, ms voice command 1.6 w/ bluetooth support, my battery has been about 65-70 % remaining after being off the charger for a good 9 hrs with good use on it. Ask me about a batt fix.....this ROM is the ultimate batt fix!! Oh yeah i forgot to mention this ish is FAST.....windows directory in explorer, fully loaded and skinned....FAST!!
Look up " HTC Power Management cab" it usualy sets up everything to save power.
However I agree about AJC rom. I'm using it right now. the battery does not go down to 50% since I installed it. I was on an 8hr bus ride from NY to PGH and used GPRS most of the time only then it went down to 51% with very heavy usage.
i will accept S.V.I a hundred percent.i am running same rom.ajc windows mobile 6.1 rom battery life is almost perfect.i have another suggestion for you.you should install Advanced Config version 2.there are some adjustments for power savings.apply all off them.also under the today theme change menu unmarked desktop timeout 4hours.i hope that will help.

What is meant by this? If it's missing will it cause your battery to drain down quicker?
I installed this XM6R5 and my battery is draining quickly. My ExtRom is empty - I deleted it thinking I would free up more memory. Did I mess up?
If I install an OEM rom again and then my XM6R5 rom and preserve the ExtRom would this fix the battery drain or should I just apply the two can files listed earlier on?

look for an empty ext rom and flash it, that clears out your extended rom which can cause battery drain issues.
I had a huge battery drain issue after a ROM upgrade a few months ago. I bought a new battery but it was the same.
I applied all the registry fixes but didn't notise any big difference.
The thing that increased(restored) my battery life to normal was to fully drain & fully recharge the phone 2-3 times.

Does any have a blank Ext Rom or know a link to one? All the links I have found point to the ftp server but no longer exist.
Here is one, It has IPL/SPL 308 and Radio 2.19.11 and a nice windows startup screen. I use it all the time.

looks really nice!
Tihiti rom have little bug, when u send sms,rom send lots same sms. Can you fix that?
I fix problem,hard reset and now rom work fine. Problem is sms threader.
Problem:
I charged my phone all yesterday evening (probably around 5-6 hours). So the battery was 100%.
5 minutes later I cheched my phone: 31% battery
1 minute later: 9% battery
It stayed on 9% a while, and descended from 9 in the normal way. Ran out of battery this morning, and the phone shut down.
Before I put the phone in the charger yesterday evening , it was at 9%. So it seems that it thinks that it charged, but no current was add to the battery. So when i pull it out from the charger, it thinks that the battery is 100%, but is only in fact 9%.
Maybe my battery is failing. Never had this problem before.
The phone is ON now, and in the charger. Will update post.
Charging by USB from computer.
EDIT1: about the ROM: Really nice! Like it very much! Fast and somewhat stable
EDIT2:
Phone was charged 91% a couple of hours ago, disconnected the phone. Its still on 91%, so I think the problem is gone... Probably a user error the first time
EDIT3: After charging the phone to 91% (as mentioned before), it stayed on 91% for an abnormal long time. I rebooted the phone, and after the reboot, I had 96% battery...
TouchFLO 3D issue!
I tried to install TouchFLO 3D [ HTC_Manila.cab ] and selected it in Today.
But after reset it flashed on the screen as "Tap here to start TouchFLO 3D ..."
But after taping it hangs the phone sometimes or the application does not respond and must be reset.
Does the Pharos not support TouchFLO 3D or have i tried wrong TouchFLO 3D version.
Is it the Dimond which has got the power to use this app? Does the pharos capable of running TouchFLO 3D?
Coincidently even i faced the Battery issue as mentioned above after recharging to 100% and after disconnecting the battery came down to 87%
Will this work on the Pharos Traveler 127? I've noticed in looking for ROM updates, specifically WM6.5, I keep finding references to Pharos in general but no specific model numbers as I understand them.
Thanks for this! I have been using this for 2 days now and haven't got any problem at all so far. It's also pretty fast. Boots up fast and was faster than my old rom which was Poldo v12.
I'm running this ROM now.. i like it No problems so far! Only thing is, that my hotmail settings fail, i think it's a hotmail problem..
I'll report problems in a few days!

Pharos 117
Hello everybody!
I am novice in pharos device
Anyone knows if this rom is compatible with Pharos 117?
Thx
Erick
The windows live update works fine! I installed the dutch version without messenger, so this one's a lot better
Thanx for the work!
This rom works great for me so far, and surely the best one yet. The memory usage seems slightly lower than any of the 6.1 roms I've tried, and I really like the newer windows menu which is superb when you get used to it.
Only real negative issue is that the bootup from cold is very slow, but because like most users I assume I rarely turn it off it's not a major problem.
I can't see myself going back to a 6.1 rom now, 6.5 is so much nicer...
USB to PC
everything works fine with me also...except for the USB to PC whenever you set it pop up screen will come with this message...:This feature needs a memory card in your device. Please insert first before using this feature."
thank. I'll try tonight.

Wich Radio do you use?

AKU DRAIN
It may be related to battery lifetime. My Wizard worked as well for over a 2 Years, and now it starting to drain battery rapidly. If I turn on WiFi, battery can hold not longer than 1 (one) hour. I use TNT ROM, as i alwasy did. This battery problems cause an old battery which simply should be replaced with a new one.
Hi, This happened recently, only after I installed lot of things in the wizard. The history of it is as follows.
I nearly bricked the wizard, because of a computer crash, in the middle of a ROM upgrade. I could recover it and again flashed it with the RUU_TMobile_US_226102_22610105_022511_WWE_Ship.exe. After this I installed the MSD series of ROM. I had battery drain. I saw the radio rom is changed by RUU_TMobile_US_226102_22610105_022511_WWE_Ship.exe ROM. I flashed it again with 2.69.11 ROM. Still the battery drain is more. I don't know what changed. I used the wizard tool and saw lot of cabs in the EXT ROM. I formatted the EXT ROM using the tool and then upgraded again with MSD ROM. Still the battery drain is more.
Never mind. Just read your most recent post.
Hi, i've a little problem with my gsmart ms800:
two days ago i flashed my ms800 with the official ITA rom to solve some problems with mms and internet connection.. well, from the moment i flashed, my phone turn off every time it reach the 40% of battery charge (from 100% to 40% all is OK)..
It was quite difficult to flash my phone (i tried 3 roms downloaded from different places, and for two times the flashing was failed) so i prefer not to flash another time.
I think it's not a battery problem because the phone turn off in the regular way with the exiting animation, so it seems to be the OS who make it turn off.
I've read some time ago about changing the registry settings of battery level but really i dont remember which are registry entries and values and i've losen much time searching in internet today, can you help me?
Thank you for any suggestion.
