I'm using PDA2k, After upgrade my device to WM5, it turn off when the battery at 35%, and works as normal if plugged power in. I already tried 3 or 4 versions of WM, nothing changes! Does anyone have the same problem?
I knew that for Helmi rom there was a PowerManagement Patch... maybe it was for this issue?
I don't know, try and let me know

Hi
i installed the new rom
RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
ok and it seems fine other then one thing
dont know why but i m noticing that there is a lot of battery being used
so i need advice or fix or something that will be helpful for me to stop this draining of the battery without any reason before the install of this rom my phone never used to eat this much of battery
Can some please help
I have a Tmobile MDA (USA)
I think I know what's happening. One of the cabs in the extended ROM is responsible; perhaps the AKU 2.0 (push email). I've installed the extended rom unlock tool on the ftp and installed only the cabs that I need from the extended rom. If it's one of those, I'll post back and let you know. I do not use push email, so the AKU 2.0 ROM is not one of them.
Anyone else?
Sure thanks alot
and please when u will tell me can you tell me the details of how to go about making changes so that i can do to help my mda`s battery life coz i new to all this rom and stuff
Thanks a million
After playing with this thing this afternoon...I've come to the conclusion that when you do a soft reset while the device is plugged in, the battery shows up 100% charged. It rapidly declines to the actual level and then slows down its discharge to acceptable levels. The best way to get an actual reading is to turn off the device using the software reset (hold down the power button until the device gives the option to power off) and then put it on the charger for a few hours. I think that actually gives it a full charge and you'll be set. The new battery driver (along with that bloody battery icon in the today bar) is not the best thing is it?
hey i will surely try this and once i m done doing it
i will get back to you with the results
Thanks for all your help buddy
Yes, great, that other peoples noticed this thing too...
After installing some file from the ex_rom, my battery doesn´t show the right position...
I made the updates a few days before and the problem surely came with one of this ne cab-files...
Any possibility to remove this files, cause i don´t need AKU2, yet....
Thanks a lot...
*****EDIT*****
I removed the Tool Batti from the system...
seems to work much better now....
Hi to all,
I, among some others am experiencing battery drain since upgrading to WM6 even though I am running under the same circumstances as before the upgrade with just a few less programs running etc. If anyone can shed any light on a fix for this or suggestions (turning off bluetooth has no great effect) then I would gladly like to hear them.
I know Malik is also experiencing the problem so I know I am not alone.
Thanks.
I am experiencing the exactly the same great battery usage rates between faria, super rom, and wm6. All overclocked at 260.

when u overlock a device it drains the battery much much faster then u expect so to help that don't overlock but if u overlock then the battery goes mad because overlocking takes great deal of amount out to make the device faster.

I overclocked to 264 (omap) / 286 (bs) MHz without issues. It seems the cpu drains the batt a lot only during "heavy" task execution, e.g. playing a game or watching a movie that is not adapted to qvga. Most of time it just sleeping, as before.
So, i flashed wm6 (pdaviet v.3) and have noticed the same or even less battery drain as before (when my wizard is left alone). You have to check all you're installed to fugure out "the swine"

i have it overclocked to 299 with batterystatus, and no battery drain... the OS isntalled is pdaviet v2 ...
If anything, I've found WM6 to be *better* on battery life than any of the previous WM5 AKUs.
AKU 3.3 would be the best in the WM5 range.
I've also found that the battery life on my device has dramatically increased. I don't have to charge it now for about an extra two days compared to before.
This has been an issue with me as well. I'm running the clean Crossbow ROM (aka Orwells1984 et.al.) Here are the programs I have been running:
2.19 radio rom
Resco Med. Suite 5.42
Pocket Weather
Sprite Backup
Smartskey
Omapclock @ 240mhz
CE Star
I had issues with the today plugin from Resco cutting down my battery life on the old iPAQ 6365. Haven't had ANY problems with previous AKU 3.x versions.
If you're using omapclockplus your device is at normal speeds during standby. I think its the crossbow radio that drains it. Switching between OSs might not change your rom, leaving the battery drain

CB does not come with radio. CB is only OS updated.

maybe it really is the radio... i moved to 2.17 and since then no battery problems, but im not for sure its that, but possibly since i have same apps installed on fresh WM6 as before when i had battery probs.
Well, I finally did a hard reset and lo and behold the battery drain problem is gone. I had it off the charger for most of the day and kept the WiFi on a bit as well. The ROM on which I really noticed the problem was the Pdaviet3. I'm going to reinstall the Resco Today plugin and see if that does anything. I love this ROM. Clean and fast!
try disconnect "Error reporting". It's on by default.

Weird.. I did this last night too and it seems to have cured the problem...
Anyway I still have the automatic power up issue... Is there a solution other than locking the device? i.e. A registry edit to turn off push email?
I think the battery drain problem MAY have been solved by the hard reset as well.
Tomorrow will be my second day of use since hard reset so I will report my findings.
I remember (when I had Motorola MP220) advice for longer battery life: device should be 100% charged when flashing new ROM. If not, charge it 100% and do the hard reset.
BTW, I had battery drain with Pdaviet ROM v3, 'cose the smatskey was set for overclocking by default.
i own a xda mini s with crossbow (orwells ROM and Radio 1.19), i use direct push and don't have any battery problem.
Had the same problem: batter drained 2 or 3 times as fast as regularly.
Used:
- TomTom6
- SPB Weather
- PocketPC Wakeup
- Resco todayplugin
- Todaytime
Just did a hard reset and reinstalled TomTom & SPB weather.
Everything ran fine, til I installed PocketPC Wakeup.CAB...
So that one might be the problem....
Anyone else tested their software for batterydraining problems?
batterystatus might also be a problem.
I hard reset, did not install batterystatus but installed rest of my normal apps; this solved both my wakeup issues and battery drain issues.
P.S. simply uninstalling batterystatus did nothing, had to reset.
No batterystatus is not the cause because the first time when I had the issue was without batterystatus ever being installed. The problem hasn't really been back even though I now have it installed.
Hello,
After Upgrading to WM6 from 2003SE on my Cingular SX66, my battery won't charge and is completely drained? Any Idea's???
Thanks,
Brian
I have noticed that "Beam" gets ON many times when you reset BA with WM6. "Beam" and other unwanted streams drain the battery faster than normal. May be you have even hardware trouble associated with Beam and that results into total drain. Start your BA on external power and check states of Beam, bluetooth and wireless, you might get a clue. Best of luck.
can any body kind enough to tell that the battery problem that wm6 xda2 shuts down at 40% battery also exist in wm2003se?, i want to go back to wm2003se, can anybody here tells me the difeerence between wm2003se and wm6.thanks bye

what rom are you using?
iam usinf tofclock wm6 radio 1.17
iam usinf tofclock wm6 radio 1.17
There is a thread here in the hima wm6 board about battery problems.
WM6 is not the problem, bad batteries are.
Had the same problem earlier. A change of battery had solved it.
is this problem solved????
is it the new battery the solution?
i have the same problem, xda shuts down at 50% battery status..
tnx
Maggy is right

Try #search this forum# in the Hima WM6 board with 'Battery problems'.
It´s a well known problem.
Then try search function to find 'batti-2.1(-de).ARM.cab' or the working version for your device if you don't use a Hima and give it a try.
Your battery won't work better, but you can see the bat level (with percent indicators, if you want) nearly anytime and you can be warned early enough optical by color change or with acoustic alarm.
Whatever you do: Think of a new battery soon. It´s the best you can do for your amazing device.
Good luck

It also depends on the Radio you have installed. I had 1.18 and experienced a heavy drain on 3G along with other users who upgraded to the RSA 1.35 ROM release. Since moving on to the 1.27 radio my battery consumption is now acceptable again.
Maybe this assists.

They determine the state of charge in a battery by very small changes in the battery's output voltage. When you reset the phone, the phone stops pulling power from the battery, which can temporarily raise the voltage of the battery. The opposite (but less likely) explanation is that your phone had some process going that drew a lot of power, thus pulling the voltage down. When you reset, that process was gone.
It is really hard to accurately measure the state of charge of a battery while it is powering an operating circuit. I think it's a minor miracle that they do as well as they do.
ok so how can i know how much is my real battery life.
and when i dont use the phone i see that there isnt even 1 program on that maybe can take battery life
dont know what to do i guess i will try to update alot of roms until i will fine the right one
maybe its better to wait for windows 7?
