Hi everyone! My Artemis running WM6 turns on eveery time I get a call or SMS. I would like it if it didn't, because sometimes I want my phone tio stay silent, and having it on when I don't know it's on can be a huge drain on battery life. I'm assuming there's a simple option I'm missing. Thanks for your help.
Bump (Is this allowed on this forum?)
This is a bit of an annoyance. I like how you can instantly turn the phone on or off, and I would prefer to have to stop pulling out the battery during the school day and have the phone boot for a minute or so. Is there any way to make sure your phone stays asleep when it's asleep?
Get a profile software. Some are free. Set the connection (phone) to off during the time selected by you and I believe it will stay put, unless you have a service the forces the phone call/sms through regardless.
I have Spb Phone Suite, and I can choose to reject all calls, but I don't think it works with SMS. I also can't seem to get it to automatically activate while the phone is asleep.
I don't know Spb Phone Suite but I believe with any paid application like this or PhoneAlarm you can get a FlightMode that turns everything off for a specified time and a profile to turn things back on. Sorry I cannot be of more help. That's all I know.
Hi all,
My father bought an HTC Touch Pro some time ago; I think it was in 2008, as he needed a good phone, with the organization capability that WM has to offer.
The phone is in MINT conditions, really. It still has the original screen protector and no scratches can be found on it. He uses it a lot, but always has it in the leather case, and in a small pocket, which sometimes results in lost calls, as no one can really hear it ring . The battery is always fully charged, and after some testing I think it is still in good conditions.
The problem that he started getting is that after I installed some programs like GPS Tomtom and AGEPhone for SIP calling that he never uses (hehe), he started noticing the battery was discharging faster and that it would not last even 1 day, when before it would last about 3-4 days.
I uninstalled the programs, and the problem persists. Brightness is on 50%, wifi and any internet connection is turned off. No programs running in background, unless it's active sync that sometimes turns on itself.
POSSIBLE CAUSE - We noticed is that he has a lot of reminders, so the phone is constantly waking up. The problem is that it does not go to sleep afterwards. The touch screen is locked, so when a reminder pops up, the screen stays turned on, even if the backlight is not on, and just drains the battery completely.
Is there anything we can do, so that it (the reminders of meetings, birthdays and other stuff) would not wake the device up, or if it did, the phone would go to sleep after some seconds, so that it would not overheat and drain the battery in 1 day?
It is a quite annoying having to constantly look at the phone, dismissing reminders and turning the screen off, so the battery can last a bit longer.
I need to solve this problem, but my father will not agree with a custom ROM flash. Maximum I can do with it is upgrade it through the HTC tool, but I am not sure if it is worth it.
Here are the information:
Version de ROM: 1.90.406.5 FRE
Date de ROM: 08/20/08
Version de radio: 1.02.25.19
Version de protocole: 52.33.25.17W
The device was bought in Luxemburg and has a French windows mobile 6.1 on it, and an AZERTY keyboard.
Please help me with this issue.
Get tBattery and check to see the current draw under stead, idle conditions. With the backlight at 5, it should draw about 110 mA (there may be some spiking). Use the log feature, say for 10 min @ a time, with power-save options unchecked so the screen doesn't dim and it doesn't go to sleep. If the drain is high (constantly above 200 mA, let's say), then get a good task manager (hint: new dotfred's 3.3) and start killing processes, and see if that helps. If not, then try stopping some of ther services.
Thanks Farmer Ted for the reply, but I think I found the cause of the problem. I don't know why but after it wakes up, because of an appointment, it will not turn the screen off, even after 10 minutes and I have the power management set 30 sec off if not being used.
As the screen is locked, the appointment will not be dismissed by accident or pressed so it just stays like that, until the battery is dead.
Is there a hidden option to make the phone go back to sleep, or to prevent it from waking up, just making the led blink, as when you get new SMS messages and the screen is off, or when you get a missed call?
If there was I think it would solve the problem completely.
Thank you all for your help.
yes the problem is the screen it drains it faster than a hobo with a bottle of wiskey,
what you have to do it click on batter icon and get into the battery menu select advanced and elect turn back light off if device is not used for and select 10 second, then turn off device if not used for and slected 1 minute (its reffering to the screen)
then i use a program called touch pro tweak (its cooked into all energy roms) and there is a setting to wake up on call or text or notification and disable it by wake up it refers to turing the screen on
I have a simmilar problem.. I discovered what causes it... When I install certian programs, it changes the power settings.. namely, the power off when not plugged in setting... So, check out those settings... I have had this happen 3 or 4 times in as many months... then I notice the same issues with my battery.. after I go change the settigns back (for the 100th time) it goes back to pastign 2-3 days for me... (instead of less than 1)
Hi people, sorry to bring up this topic again, but I see no point in creating a new one.
I would like to ask if any of you would recommend me a good French ROM (as it comes with AZERTY keyboard) for this device that has good battery life?
Is it possible that a cooked WM 6.5 would use less battery then stock WM 6.1?
I have another problem, is there a way to turn up the ringing volume of the phone, in order to hear it even if it is in a small bag? It's already on max, but my father complaints the ringing volume is too low and he can not hear it.
And last but not least, how much does this battery normally last? Wifi off, bluetooth off, calling about 15 min a day, some SMS and a lot of reminders.
It can not go a day, max two days without recharging. It is always turned off when he goes to sleep, because if not, he will wake up with a dead device.
I've tried googling this but its difficult as I'm not really sure what the problem is!
I have an S6 and if I have it sitting on a table or something for an extended length of time it seems to go to sleep. Internet messages stop being pushed through (although sms seem to work still) and other app notifications stop. When I pick up my phone they all come through.
I thought the problem was a loss of wifi but I've set that never to switch off. I've also turned off the app power saving mode but it doesn't seem to help.
Is this a setting that is hidden somewhere? Its stupid.
I can't believe it, but after the new update I still cannot get a full day on the battery. is this normal with always on?
Not normal. turn auto heart rate off, turn s-voice off, use a dark background to conserve battery while always on, turn on inactive notifications, etc.....
Thanks I turned off some things I turned off everything except Bluetooth but now it doesn't seem to be changing the time or updating the weather for the location I just landed in. Is there something that has to be on besides Bluetooth? Or can I have every single thing off . thank you

Apps have intervals. For example, the heart rate sensor by default is set to 10 min. Imagine the impact that has on the battery. Same with weather. You can set your weather to check every hour but you must turn on your phones GPS. The watch doesn't know where you are if your phone's GPS is off. You pick and choose what notifications you need with intervals while others can be manually updated.
For the most part, I have everything off on my watch except for bluetooth. I manually update weather, heart rate, i dont use voice search on my watch (Google assistant on my phone; ok google), my gear is LTE and I turn that off to save battery, etc... mostly, I use my watch for notifications and answer phone calls when I drive. If your watch isn't changing time while bluetooth is on, you might want to try another watch face because that isn't normal.

I suggest also powering down when you notice rapid battery loss. Some times for no reason after charging overnight, my battery just starts draining fast. Powering down and then up fixes the problem. Also, double check no app is running more than you'd expect. When Samsung updated the Mail app recently on my Note 4, I noticed the my Gear S3 showed super high Mail app usage. I forced stop the Mail app, and then all went back to normal.
Guys:
Before sleep i turn off wi-fi and data. My alarm is set to 8h06AM.
But at 7h:51, suddenly my wi-fi turn on by itself
Maybe is coincidence but i did uninstall some patcher/crack 2 days ago (sorry im a bad boy here).
Apart that no issues with phone.
I have OOS 9.0.3+xXx rom+ unlocked + root. No weird kernells.
Any thoughts?
Yeah i had the same thing well you can simply fix it by going to wifi settings>WiFi preferences>and toggle off the "turn on wifi automatically
that's a feature, it turns on the Wifi based on your location and your savec networks, but you can disable it.
Guys!
Thank you very much!
Very annoying wake up with notifications sounds from FB, Instagram and whatever.....
Every minute on morning is sacred before work!!!!
