i've tried a couple of roms but with all the battery life is relatively poor to when i first got the phone.
so i wanna sacrifice some features for more battery life.
what's the best rom for this?
for me its mona lisa rom
but maybe you disable vibration and sliding panels etc
this needs lot of energy!
and dont switch it off for 20minutes etc the reactivation eeds very much energy!
for me within these things nromal battery last approxiamte 3-5days normal usage few sms and thelephoning

OMFG ! Can you please tell us two things:
1. How old is your Vox (or to be exact battery , BTW is it extended battery?)
2. Roughtly how many minutes / hours you talk every day?
Thanks
EDIT:
Yeah the battery backup given by Mona Lisa is amazing !

It seems everyone who has flashes Windows Mobile Professional 6 has the battery problem.........I Flashed almost all ROM's of different developers I am getting my Xda down on 82% only...while working on it or talking to somebody it switches off suddenly...........
I just request all ROM developers please find an solution for this problem........
Whenever I am flashing the original windows 5 ROM it works upto the 5% of
the remaining battery...........I HOPE THERE CAN BE A PROMINANT SOLUTION.
this issue has been raised many times .. its a hardware battery problem//buy new
It sounds like a problem I had, but after I replaced my battery, its gone.

Hi,
Last night I've put my battery in freezer.
This morning I took out and let it come to room temperature before charging again. It took 2.5 hours charging
Can't tell you if it worked yet but it looks good
Tell you later how long it last

Freezer Method
trying Freezer Method today, before my old battery (always) die @ 50% and today die @ 40% when call
i had this problem with my old battery (+3yrs old) so i got a new one just over a month ago ... the problem with WM6 is different .. the device takes about 1.5 day to drain the battery to 50% with normal usage (including wifi and bt) .. but the remaining 50% can be consumed in less than 2 hrs! .. same in charging too .. 1st 50% can be reached in less than 15 min and the remaining 50% can take around 2 hrs! .. i tend to think it's readings problem in WM6 but im not that expert.
Hello. I've tried many Rom on my Qtek 8310 and it seems some Roms drain battery more than others. What is the best Rom for battery duration? I think that it can be different from phone to phone, but I would like to read some advices...
Thanks everybody
Wow!!!
I've just thinkink in post a topic like that!!!
I try many ROMs in my Cingular 2125 and all drains batt more fast than I think correct....
I read in a topic that illi's VM 6.1 (not so) plain jane is slower in drain batt, but rickwyatt's version is faster....
Let's see people opinion...
And sorry about my english...
Battery drain...
I've tried all the available ROM's on my SPV C600 and to be honest, I haven't found any significant difference in battery life between any of them. May be it has to do with Wi-Fi? The C600 doesn't have Wi-Fi. Other than that, I can't think of anything that would cause a big difference?
Of course there is always the old 'novelty factor'. It might be that you just play with your device more after you've installed a new ROM, therefore using more battery than usual making you think it's not lasting as long?? Just an idea
In my case wifi has nothing with that problem... Cingular 2125 is Faraday, not Tornado. Then no wifi...
Maybe novelty factor... When I change ROMs I only configure my ringtones, install 5 apps, listen mp3 for about 40min and dont' make or receive any calls in first 24h....
Last ROM I've tested (rickwyatt's WM6.1 ROM) drains about 18% in first 24h with this usage....
18% in 24hrs with usage?? I wouldn't complain about that. Sounds like pretty good battery life to me. What are you expecting exactly? At that rate of discharge it'll last Monday through Friday on one charge!!

Monday to Friday is the average cell phone with a minimum of calls. That's extraordinary. People would kill to have any phone drain like that with usage.
is there any program out there to put the phone to sleep. when i have it in my case the joystick is always being bumped and this keeps the phone lit up even when it is locked, thus running the battery dead. thanks for any replys

same problem here!
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.

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 all,
I have a few questions about the great ROMs posted on this forum:
1. does WM 6.5 consume more battery than WM 6.1?
2. what ROM do you find to be the best for battery life?
Thanks
well,possibly energy

As long as you remember this little tidbit:
• Backlight is set to high. You might want to change that.
Then maybe you can get a little bit better battery life on the phone.
Nah.. my ROM is not best for battery. It's built for speed...
However you can run it and expect a day out of it. Like other users suggest, turn down the backlight, turn off 3G and don't sync too much (do not use data too much in general) and you'll have plenty of battery life.
p.s. Let's not forget the batteries in our phones are a couple years old too now, so you definitely wont get the same battery life you were getting when you bought the phone
Right mate, Sense uses a lot of battery so use the standard windows mobile home screen, Disable 3G unless our using the Internet same as Data Connection. I only lost 12% battery today and i was playing a bit of Boing as well installed a few apps and listened to music (only like 3-4 songs) So yeah .....

No offence, but concerning battery life, try anything BUT Energy ROMs. Even though NRG developer claims there are no reasons for it, these ROMs suck your battery dry in a very short time (a day or so). Especially CHT 2.0 versions, besides they are pretty and fast. Very poor battery life was the reason I had to switch from NRG to stock ROM only 2 days ago.
you mean stock htc rom or a stock-like wm 6.5 rom?

Well it depends also of your use voice and data use. Personnaly, I have 2 full working days with Exquisite 4.20 (Radio 1.17.25.09 & Ril 1.15.25.14), Active Sync push @15min, and mainly a mail and web usage (so it's mainly Opera 9.7 that lays in RAM). I consider this as pretty good, but if you have an extensive use of Music, or Video over voice and data, no miracles are possible whatever the rom you use.
As far as I remember, a stock HTC rom did not gave more stamina, but cooked stock 6.5 will do. Sense or TF3D are not neutral for battery at all.
NRGZ don't be so shy...
I use EnergyROM and it can go 2 whole days with good amount of usage before it needs a recharge. And 3-4 if I do not use so much, or just answer calls and send txts.
Anyways, great ROMS! And god thank you that you still update for us Raphael users!

My experiences concern one but latest 21680 ROM. I hope in 21681 something was done with the poorest energy management I had ever seen. My phone couldn't last one whole day (sic!), so I got rid of that ROM and now battery lasts for 2-3 days, as always. Besides, I like NRG stuff very much and consider this a single stumble on a way to perfectness.
Hi guys recently i have updated to 4.4.2 and my battery is draining fast like 13 hour with 6 hours screen on time ..... Is it normal or i am having battery drain issue ??
Are you crazy? 6 hours of screen on time is super amazing- you've got an awesome battery. If you are looking to extend your battery life even further then I suggest rooting your phone (if you haven't already done) and use greenify. Other than that, just turn your brightness down and manage your radios efficiently. As far as I can see you have amazing battery life. Do you game or do you just tend to go on YouTube, reply to texts etc...?
