I have loaded WM6 on my 750. I typically leave in EDGE service to conserve battery. What I have noticed since I have loaded WM6 is that the battery is worse then ever. I used to be able to make close to 3 days w/o charging. I turn off the radio at night and some during the day. Now using this same usage(plus turning off the radio), I am lucky to make 1 and 1/2 days.
Has anyone else experienced this? Just curious. I hope Palme attempts to address this before general release.

word^^. yea with wm5 id last me a good full 2 days now lucky if i get 16hrs...
I'm using VFN WM6 ROM and battery life looks like to be great, no difference to wm5 ROM.
Another one using the Vodafone ROM with no change in battery life. As I have Exchange ActiveSync, I am lucky if I get through the day.
I'm using Voda WM6 to some calls and many smses, sometimes internet/email/im and I get 3-4 days. Just like Voda WM5

Battery Life with WM6
I flashed my Treo 750 last night and lost significant battery life today. Like the ROM except for the issue on caps with typing.
VF Upgrade to WM6 and the battery is better. Yesterday: all day Sync whit Exchange + a 2 Hrs sessión call. At end of the day 15% battery remain.
Hello all,
I was wondering if there are any other S710 users who have been experiencing battery issues with the HTC Vox.
For a while I was running Dr. Gonzo's Guava Rom and everything was great with it all except for the battery life. I didn't pay much attention to it, but it finally got on my nerves. It came to the point where I could only use the phone for around 14-16 hours under moderate use and wifi+bt OFF after a full charge.
Today, I flashed the VOX with fireburned CLEAN v1.2. and it seems to be the same. I don't recall having this issue with the Official ROM.
Battery issue? any ideas? I dont want to spend money on an extended battery if it is a software issue.
Much appreciated!
It seems same to me too. I flashed not less than 20 ROMs in my VOX's use of nine months and I found that my battery slowly got weakened and was going only for 14 15 hours without too much use. Practically I had to buy a fresh battery from www.megacapacity.com. It arrived yesterday and serving me about 1.5 days for normal use. It is 1100mah in place of 1050mah original but is of std size.
Opinion of other users invited.
Did not notice anything as such. My Vox is nearly 1 Year 4 months old. So I am not expecting much from it.
Because during my initial flashing, I never had any noticeable battery performance issues. I have flashed almost all ROMs of Dr. G's, a couple of fh's and 3 of fireburned's ROM, about to flash with the 4th
I've had my phone for approximately the same amount of time and I've only flashed it probably 4-5 times in total.
Perhaps I shall look into getting a new battery as well...I want to be able to use Wifi normally without losing the phone halfway through the day.

I think you may have a hardware issue (not sure though). When I am not travelling, my phones battery at the end of the day shows more or less 60% charge left. I use flexmail to check my mails every hour. If there is any mail worth reading, then I use i.e. to check mails. So I think you can consider it moderate GPRS usage, plus there are of course voice calls . Though I do not use wifi or BT.
If you plan to buy a new battery though, I think it will be better if you go for an extended battery.
I read in another topic that it's somehow related to the Radio version.

Parthabhatta, what were shipping charges to india? how much is the total cost? How much time does it take in delivery?
i am looking to buy a new one same 1100mAh.
Because im new with Vox in generally can someone tell me what should be aproximated battery life with vox? (NO wifi, NO bt, 1-2h/day using normal phone calling)
What could be normal battery life with TCPMP and movie divx 320x240 256kbit ?
Everyone seems to have great battery life, so I wouldn't be the person to tell you what the average battery life is.
I just tested out the battery life this morning. 100% charged and i turned on Wifi to use. 45 minutes later, my phone dies.
So I get less than an hour of power on Wifi. I don't think that seems like a battery problem. Using it normally, gives me at least 14-15 hours+ (no wifi/no bt).
Perhaps its a hardware bug? Software bug? Any input is appreciated.

Hi gwmnx!
The same problem i have to, my battery life is very poor , maxim 10- 12 hours(no wifi/no bt), without browsing internet or other else and battery dies.
I buy a new battery, and exact same problem with it, in maximum 14 hours is finished
I was in a service , and they verify my batterys, and they told me the batterys is very good both.
And probably the phone have a hardware issue , but they don't know to repare it because they don't have a electronic schematic of my phone
I tested 3 ROM's by now, but nothing is change, with every ROM, same problem.
I don't know what to do and what to say, i'm very disappointed
Excuse me for bad English , i don't speak very well!
Same issue i am facing here. My phone battery dies in 10-12 hours. Don't know if it happens due to lot of ROM upgrades everyday or using overclocking...
I am going to purchase a new battery soon. If that also works same, i will revert to original VOX 6.0 ROM. No overlcoking, no R&D, no research no development further because you need to compromise with hardware malfuntioning, damages etc against this kind of R&D.

I bought my battery for 15.5$. Shipping is free worldwide on all items. It reached me in 16 days. It is now giving me 1.5 to 2 days on fireburned 1.2 ROM.
For a change, you just change the homescreen from sliding to anything like windows default. And make normal usage. I'm dead sure you'll get better results even if you're in Rose ROM. I mean, you'll get better battery performance if you're not in sliding homescreen.
I'm using Fireburned's 1.2 version ROM.
Thanks

How does the sliding panel attribute to 45 minutes of wifi usage. I'm not even on the homescreen, just using the web browser?
I mean, I think it might be a definite reason since I only started noticing poor battery life after 6.1. With the original Vox WM6.0, I definitely had better battery life.
there are some roms that kills the battery life to around half or more. like gonzo's latest rose rom.

Yeah from megacapacity. Extended batteries are also available for around 21$
Sorry skchattha! its for 18.5$and not 15.5$ (actually 15.5$ was for my nokia battery). I confused. Just go to the site and it will be clear. Actually I was charged Rs.948.00 in IndiaN Rupee.

Great man! Rs.948 is still cheaper, HTC service centre rates are Rs1390.
What do you mean by Extended battery? Any difference from normal battery?
And what about 2250mAh battery, does it fit fine or looks odd?
2250 mAh is the extended battery. I didnot buy although it was comparatively cheaper because to me it will not only look odd but make the phone bulky and heavier too. But now i feel that 2250 would have been a better choice as i am an avid gprs user. Now think and buy- difference of only 2.5/3 USD.

Well, being in browser doesn't mean your homescreen is off. Sliding panel itself consumes lots of battery. Just change your homescreen from settings to something else not related to sliding panel or Rose Homescreen. For a change just change it back to windows default. let it be changed for a day (You won't loose anything). I strongly believe there would be some difference in battery consumption and consumption will be lesser.
Thanks
Extended Battery really looks too odd. it looks like you've added another battery
hi!
im on ARHD 3.6.4 , my phone battery used to drain more then usual but still i managed to work with it.
this morning i think i broke a record while my battery last only 6hrs!!!
i changed only two things this morning.
1. i installed battery calibration app and when my battery was on 100% i ran the program to wipe my battery stats file.
2. i installed mighty text to text sms from my computer and not my phone..
any chance doing one of these two caused the prob?
any help will be great!
thanks!
after calibration it takes a few days for the battery to settle. So wait a few days and battery will be better

I think it's a kernel problem, I switched to the Bricked kernel and back to normal now. There was a problem with the phone staying awake. I killed my first battery in six hours too and that was using Juice Defender also!
Yep kernel problem. Mentioned a million times on the arhd thread. Best bet is bricked kernel for now. No more issues since
i restored 6.3.3 and resolve this issue until confirmed new and good version of a ARHD
I was also using ARHD with Faux kernel.
The battery was really back and would be under 80% after a couple of hours of doing nothing!
Flashed the Bricked kernel and no problems now. Battery is great!
i understand but as much as i saw from other posts around the forum is that
faux kernel is something which is working better with ARHD , it uses all it tweaked and stuff..
is bricked kernel will work good with ARHD? if so why mike doesnt post his rom with bricked also?
there must be a reason
yea i was also in the 5 hour battery life boatt. but im using coredroid 2.5 and was using fauxs kernell. Faux definatly knows what hes doin and is a very respectable dev, he helped my g2x feel like i didnt get soo ripped off by buying itt lol butt yea i listened to everyones advice and switched to bricked and so far my battery is alot better, i fell asleep with out plugging it in to charge and i woke up with 75 percent, i fell asleep with it at 78..... fauxz kernel is great but it does hav some battery guzzling bug
Check out guide in my singature.. It will solve your battery problems in no worires
well i just installed the new ARHD with the new faux kernel and the battery is back to normal.
still getting dead fast but not in 6 hrs
so i guess it was rom / kernel issue and not something from my phone.
im 4 hrs without a charger and im on 80 percent so i think im good.
well , sorry to update that my phone battery keep getting drained fast.
i cant finish a working day.

Hi everyone!
Wondering if there is or are anyway to calibrate Omnia battery? I think it is draining too fast, first i left my phone charging for 5hours to completely charge and just send 1 message and download Samsung App "Now" and in 1 hour since has now 92% of it. I use brightness in minimun, use Edge connection and nothing more to spend so much...in moment im using "mirolg" mi7ROM mango 8107 DFT, great by the way!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Or you can consider to try to change a battery.
Draining the battery fully will probbly calibrate it, though there may be a Calibrate feature in the Diagnostics app as well.
However, it's pretty normal for smartphones to only have battery life for about a day. 8%/hour, including downloading an app (which is moderately power-intensive) isn't way out of line with what I'd expect. Do you sync email? Do you have any live tiles? Do you use any background agents? Those all use power.
Also, custom ROMs - especially newly-released ones right after they become available - can have battery problems. Did you see the same result on the stock ROM? If not, your ROM may have a power issue.

Thanks for your attention bro! I just donne it, used my phone until completely run out of battery, pulled out the battery and left for 2 days in this state....today i plugged the charger and phone in airplanemode for about 7 hours and showed me 97% of charge....plugged it out cause maybe could be a bug, power on and for my surprise it showed 83%...gave it up...i dunno but when i had Galaxy S there was a way to calibrate battery i´ve already asked here but nobody knows about Omnia 7....also, i remeber that custom rom causes this bugs, i couldnt get 100% but with stock it completely charge.

Thanks bro! It´s used but it was bought 7 months ago, the phone its like new, these lithium batteries dont mean to have better capabalities?
Sometimes when i use the camera with flash and the battery is low my phone just dies.
But on other occasions it might work perfect.
I bought a new battery 2 months ago and i am running ViperS 5.2.1
Does somebody know a solution?

The new battery is a very tight fit
although thanks for the answer!
I have the same problem. When battery is under 40%. I have tried CM11 and Carbon roms too, but same problem. A half solution is to underclock cpu to 1.2 GHz (tested on my phone, it dies when battery is under 30%), clean the battery and board contacts. BTW my battery is old, so for me, maybe that's the problem.

Does your phone always crash when the battery is under 30% ?
If this is the case you should try to take a photo when you are charging the phone.
If it works when you are charging you might need another battery.
I have tried right now to take a picture with flash on at battery level 22%. Rom: latest Carbon. It just died. Tried to take a picture with phone carghing from usb, it died. So, i think i'm gonna need a new battery.
