Hello all, in advance sorry for my English.
I put this topic as it seeks long-rom on which the battery holds. For some time I have a problem with it because it is quickly discharged. I tried wm 6.5 clean, but the same effect. If anyone knows how to solve my problem, what rom is designed to please write back.
Almost sure that your battery is aging now. Different ROMs hardly ever make a difference for runtime of the battery. Safest is to check with the shipped ROM.
The original VOX batteries (from Simplo) are not long lasting (compared to Sanyo Batteries that HTC used in the Tornado) - and due to the age of the device you may have problems in getting a good replacement.
Look up my battery measurement thread in my signature to get some background on the topic.

Hello I have searched the threads looking for a rom and radio which will allow me to reach a full day's use or more using my extended battery. I have my unit set to download rss feeds every 15 mins as well as emails. Of course it will be running software such as SPB shell which will be updating the weather as well. So far with the current 6.1 rom which I am running along with radio 1.18 the unit doesn't seem to hold a candle to this use. I have read in other threads of the 1.18 radio being the best just would like to know which is the latest 6.1 with the best battery consumption. All help is appreciated in advance
On my personal experience
Toml 8.2, 8.5 and 8.9 are very god stable ROM´s with great battery life
Test them all and decide for yourself!
Hey I am at work at the moment during a flashing to radio 1.18 I lost all my info on the device (I didnt read the instructions had my sd card in slot (long story)). Anyhow was wondering what was on average your usuage and consumption of battery. I am debating buying a bigger battery (bigger than the one I have) which I am eyeing on Ebay. As you can tell I can't wait to have my unit flashed and with a reliable battery life. I just recieved the phone and love it just hate carrying around a charger
When I was using the recommended ROM´s my battery life was aprox of 1 day and a half using:
1hr WIFI
2hr Bluetooth
A lot of calls
With my original battery from 2005.
I would not buy a bigger one, Unis is big enough to put a bigger battery, I would buy another original battery.
After many tests I've gone to Tomals 8.2 Vanilla rom, It's stable good at everything and its vanilla so you install what you want
aktopshooter,
I have several batteries. Under constant useage (no wifi/gprs/bt/ir, backlight on, phone on, SD in)
Best PU16A 1620mAh lasts 3hr 30mins
My only 3200mAh (double-size battery) lasts 6hr 10mins [I bought of eBay]
I repeat, this is under constant useage (test conditions) with backlight continuously on.
I usually tend to carry two normal batteries if I know I'm going to need juice, rather than the double-sized one for same reasons as Orb, Uni is big enough without a huge battery sticking out!
I would like to thank all who replied to my question. I have loaded a tomal rom and also started to use my regular battery versus my extended my battery. I was blow away by the normal battery for some reason it seems to out perform my extended battery. I am easily getting through a day with out even worrying about charging the battery through out the day. I am downloading mail every 15 mins and checking rss feeds every thirty mins plus lots of texts and calls the battery handles it well. My extended battery is nice but I rather the slim oem battery it just makes the phone feel hell of sexy and appealing

Unfortunately, Uni is not known for its great battery life compared to other devices simply due to the demands of a large screen. Various ROMs will be more or less economical when it comes to battery, but don't expect a huge improvement.
As far as getting a battery on eBay, be very careful. The last battery I purchased charges and drains at the same speed.
Also don't buy batteries from dealextreme, they are crap

Thanks, orb3000, I forget that I was in the Universal Mobile 6 directory..... Need holidays
any other more suggestions on those who use battery efficient roms? besides which is more efficient in battery life? wm6.1 or wm6.5?
Let me quote myself:

Hello... Over the past few days, my ppc has been turning off all of a sudden despite the main battery still having enough charge. When I checked backup battery meter in settings, it was no longer there. Prior to that, I remember trying to flash my device with WM6 with no luck therefore I reverted back to the original WM5. And then a day or two after that, while at work, my phone charge was completely drained -- had a battery low warning for the backup/internal batt but it was already too late for me to charge the phone so it shut down. When I did charge it, while the main battery charged to 100%, the backup battery was no longer detected.
I was searching for a solution through the forum but found inconclusive results . I was thinking of replacing the backup battery however I'm not sure if there is indeed one to start with (nothing mentioned in Atom Wiki). O2 no longer has customer support and where I'm located I don't have access to PDA repair shops.
Even if O2 Atom Exec's battery life is known to be crap , I really love this phone and would like to keep it longer. I hope somebody can help me out...

If none of that helps perhaps it´s time to buy a new battery

Thanks for the reply, orb3000. Quite informative link. I've got no problem with my main battery (lithium), though. It's the internal/backup battery that I'm concerned about. I don't know why exactly it went missing. There used to be 2 battery meters in start > settings > power. 1 is for the main battery and the other one for the backup battery (internal). It's the backup battery that's no longer being detected. My lithium polymer battery is still working ok.
Oh and by the way, I very recently just flashed my ppc with N-Touch WM6 OS (absolutely awesome!). I noticed that the battery life is a lot longer now compared to how it was with the original WM5. But my backup battery meter is still missing
Hi everyone, I bought a Cameron Sino Battery for my vox, model CS-DS710XL, but my vox doesn't starts with this battery.
I took the battery to some shops, they've tested de voltage and the battery is Ok.
I know it might be a silly question, but I would like to know if the rom i'm using could have something to do with the battery not working on the smartphone.
If it does, I'm using fireburned 6.5 rom.
Thanks for all the answers.
Maybe something wrong with your vox，please try to hardroot your vox
Does your phone work before change battery? Can you check it on another battery?
The phone is working fine, but the original battery is running low real quickly, that's why I bought the new battery.
When I try to use the Cameron Sino Baterry, The led indicator blinks orange, what according to users manual means that the battery is working under higher or lower temperature than it should be.
I wish it was something with the rom, cause there's no possibility to change the battery (I'm brazilian, and the shop is in Hong Kong).
Sorry for bad english, hope you guys are able to understand.
I don't know what can I tell you. You can try anotherv ROM, but I think your new battery is damaged, or it isn't for Vox model
Moved to Q&A section.
Cheers,
Hello everyone,
I'm running some tests to see the battery consumption on my Galaxy S i9000. I'm using the gingerbread version of darkys ROM.
Firstly, what do you think of the battery life? In this specific test I used the phone in a very light way, made some messages/calls and read few mails.
Secondly, is it normal to have depressions in the battery chart that display less battery than it shows later? How is it computed? Isn't just some logic level of the voltage battery?
Lastly, in the case of buying another battery, is it worthless to be genuine?
Thanks a lot
Someone close this thread, I double posted it:

Hello there, I see that there are multiple replacement battery offerings on Amazon, and I was curious if anyone had any experience with them.
I was looking at: https://www.amazon.com/2300mAh-Repl...sr=8-1-spons&keywords=htc+one+s+battery&psc=1
Which is a non-OEM battery
And I was also looking at: https://www.amazon.com/HTC-35H00185...=1513958021&sr=8-3&keywords=htc+one+s+battery
Which is an OEM battery.
However, the reviews of the battery provided by HTC would lead me to believe that perhaps HTC is reselling old/used batteries from devices that may have come in for repairs. I was hoping someone could shed some light on it.
I have experience of using 3rd party batteries in other phones, namely a BlackBerry Z10, and I haven't had any issues in the past. I was just looking for some recommendations from the community. Thanks
I've been browsing old posts on here looking for solutions to this same problem (finding suitable battery replacements or even upgrades for this device).
So far the verdict is still out whether upgrading to a bigger battery will actually yield better results. Some say bigger batteries do provide better battery life, others say it's no different from the stock unit (purportedly since the phone can't utilize any more than the stock 1650mAh), and some say it's much worse (may be due to faulty/rubbish packs).
Most people say that One X and even One X+ batteries fit in the HTC One S, though some have encountered various, minor problems in doing so. 3rd-party batteries seem to be a mixed bag as well.
Curiously, One X and One X+ batteries are actually slightly cheaper than One S batteries, haven't got a clue as to why.
Most of the posts discussing this topic is from 2013/2014, so there's not a lot of data from newer builds of Android (with Project Volta) in conjunction with fresh battery packs.
I hope others can chime in on the matter as well, would very much like some suggestions as to what would be the best course of action.
Okay, just installed a new 1800mAh battery (One X (BJ83100) OEM battery on discount). I'll let you know how it fares in the near future after having done a few full cycles on it. It proved to be quite a challenge to get it installed, but hey, everything seems to be working fine, for now at least.

Well, to follow up on my previous promises;
Battery-life seems to be heavily dependent on the particular usage patterns and the specific ROM. I wouldn't say battery life's much better than with a new, stock battery, perhaps marginally better. It does take quite a while to charge though, and in most cases it won't be able to fully recharge without being shut off. Though that could also be due to the charger that I used.
I took a few screenshots of the battery section to get a rough estimate of the endurance of the battery, but due to other, unforeseen circumstances, I'm not able to retrieve them at this moment, though they did look promising!
Long story short - it'll work fairly well, but just go for the original battery, if you want it to work properly. As previously mentioned, I only went for the One X+ battery due to it being heavily discounted.
Hope that helps clear things up!
