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
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.

Can anyone suggest a similar rom for HERMES-100 or TYTN or Imate Jasjam
hey cn u please send me the link to AJC rom.. coz im new to this and i dont no wat AJC AJC windows mobile rom stands for. cnt find the link. thnks
had found this tweak and I must say it gave my battery new life... also noticed this tweak is already in the advanced configuration but set to disabled...
enabled this tweak and found my wizard to be doing an excellent job of extending the battery life to as much as 3days standby now... hehe!
any one else getting it? unit goes in to standby and then wont wake up you have to soft reset.
ive been getting it frequently very anoying im using the big storage rom i dont rember who made it i can find out of some one wants to know
but is any one else having problems like me?
No problems here. I'm using the clean 1978 ROM...
I had it happen yesterday, running the stock AT&T ROM.
Hi
No problems here either.
It's worth remembering the phone wakes itself up about once an hour, although the display is dark so you will not see this happening.
If you have installed some software that doesn't handle this switching on very well and it crashes the phone, it will look the phone has died in standby, but it probably hasn't, it just looks that way.
I would advise a clean reset and not to install any programs, and see if it happens again. If it does your phone may be faulty, for example a memory problem that surfaces when the phone goes into a low power state.

Mine SOD'ed last night. I was using the phone, turned the screen off using the power button, then plugged it into my computer USB to charge. I was trying to do it one-handed and as you could imagine I was fiddling with the cable/phone for 30 seconds before I got the mini-usb plug into the phone. I watched to see the charging light come on but it didn't. I then tried to turn on the phone and realized I was SOD'ed. It only happens to me once every 1-2 weeks. My phone runs the stock Tilt ROM, but with lots of custom cabs installed, ie:
HTC Home 6 button
HTC Taskmanager 2.0 30995
Skype
Color Dot battery indicator
Schaps 10 Button Comm manager
PocketCM
Funambol 6.5.4
I push my phone all day long, surfing, ssh'ing into servers with putty, imap email, playing music etc, and I think if there was a bad memory issue Id see something other than an SOD. IMHO,theres a bug in the power management software.
SOD happened on my Tilt too. Im runnig the ATT rom. I had the same problem with the 8525 with the earlier ROM. The problem is IMAP email push. IF you use IMAP there is a chance you will get SOD once in a while. I changed all my emails to POP3 never had SOD since then.
I think you guys have to run the kaiser tweek to turn off the sleep mode in the registry. I had the SOD once....forgot to modify the registry via the kaisertweak app. 1st 2 options i think is what you have to modify.....that should fix you guys up.
Happened With Me too !!!
Now after using my at&t tilt flashed with HTC stock rom for 5 days, suddenly today my device suffered from a SOD.... had to soft-reset.... tried to figure out what went wrong but without any luck..... do any of u guys figured out the cause.... Kaiser Tweak only allows us to disable the sleep mode during call.....
kaiser falling sleep happens to me so frequently that I read all the posts with the key words KAISER FREEZE on xda-developers.
The only solution seems to power off and on again.
On modaco.com somebody posted a small applet which does automatically the power on-off for you.
Of course this does not remove the problem, just hide it...
Additionally I have tried 4 different WWE ROMS! from Att to HTC original ROMS to cooked Helmi aka 0.7.0 etc... No way to solve.
Please if modifying the registry can solve, can somebody post the link for kaiser tweaks and possibly the application?
Thanks

I think it might have something to do with Windows Live Maps program. This happend to me everytime I was using the program in the background. I upgraded the version and it stopped the problem I was having.

Same here... I upgraded to helmi_c's Tilt ROM and haven't had the problem since. Pretty much guarantted though, if you leave Live Search running in the background and your phone goes to sleep... it will not wake up with the stock ATT ROM (at least with the current version of Live Search).
Cheers!!
SOD has typical been associated with running programs off of a Storage card. I had tons of SOD problems with the early WM6 Hermes ROMs. So far I have only had SOD a few times on my Tilt (running austinsync's BigStorage ROM). I installed Google maps to my microSD and within 20 minutes had 3 SODs. I uninstalled it and they stoppped immediately (Live Search is way better anyway).
I would recommend installing any programs that you use heavily or leave running onto the main memory. Also, saving attachments to a storage card has been a known cause as well.
I think SOD issues will get better as more ROMs start coming out for the Kaiser (and the chefs keep cooking).
OK, this keeps happening to me with the AT&T ROM....today it happened with no programs running in the background, anybody figure out a solution yet?
Me too
well I've had this problem also while running my own cooked rom, however to be fair i had this problem in the early days of the hermes. I thought however that the hermes problem was related to activesync's push email and the data connection (i.e. switching between 3G and 2G alot making activesync trip out) That all said maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree?!
Oh just in case anyone as the time to investgate this problem, I do know the Toshiba G900 had alot of problems with SOD inwhich tosh releases a fix for...... maybe if someone was to look at what that fixed it could help us here? have a read here > www.my900.com
Kaiser won't power back up
My unit after reset won't either power up or down with the power button. Everything still functions.
I found that if I have the power charger connected it works fine, so I thought I had a weak battery. Got a new battery and same thing.
Don't know what's going on, but if you do a soft reset with the charger plugged in, it will reset fine.
Hope someone figures this out!
Be careful overconfiguring...

This might be the case, but I tried calling my phone when it SOD'd and didn't get a ring (it rang on the phone I was calling from.) I bet the problem is installed programs conflicting somehow, maybe kaisertweak will fix it in the future.
I can't guess what causes it tho...
For now, I'm running Kyphur's XDA Live and it has yet to happen.

I was running Kypher's Tilt XDA-Live v 1.0 (AWSOME) with several custom cabs including PocketCM and was getting the SOD every time. I wiped the phone and started adding all of my cabs one at a time and all of them are loaded back in except PocketCM and since then i have not seen a single SOD.
Tim
I've noticed that I get the SOD a LOT more when I have bluetooth active. Not sure if that's just coincidental but literally the only time I've noticed the SOD has been when I've had BT enabled.
Happens to me a few times a week very annoying.
Well, I don't do emails, use Windows live, have pocketCM, used my bluetooth, tried Google maps, or have any programs on my sd card (basically whatever you all mentioned above, I don't have or do!), and still get SOD. So I guess I start backtracking. Sigh...

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.

o.k. i have answer From web pdamobiz. I delete MortScript in Window/startup
and restart. end. rom not show msg again.
I'm going back to 6.1. The battery drains.. i need recharge every day, while my battery isn't weak.
I randomly don't get notifications when i get new mails, so i don't really trust my phone anymore!
For the rest.. the rom runned smooth, but my mail is very important for me
Me too. I have problem same you.
Okay so I have leedroid 1.1 and i have also had this problem with Android Revolution 1.1.3.
It seems as my phone is always sync'ing all the time ! the little sync icon on top is always there. I even go into Accounts and click on each account I have and none of them are sync'ing but the icon is always there....my heavy battery loss also supports my paranoia. I have everything syn'ing every two hours besides mail (1hr). Only thing that is push is HTC Hub.
Any Help?
Yep, noticed that too and that is why i returned back to stock. It seems each one of these roms all like sense. I wish the devs could just create one with sense and one without.

Had the same with stock rom till i got coredroid rom.
i have this issue with stock rom. i turned off auto sync, and clicked the sync all, and then again to cancel sync.
Had an issue like this on my MyTouch 4G not sure if its the same problem for you or not but mine was caused by deleting the FriendStream app
I think i found the problem !
I was using Advanced Task Killer by rechild with autokill on crazy and autokill on screen off. Once i uninstalled and put back my original Taskiller by ax my battery litterally halted and i only get the sync icon once in a while...when it is actually sync'ing !
