Problem with the new rom

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....

Maybe there something wrong with my X1i, can anyone help me?

I got my X1i about two month ago
Everything is ok with it before I flashed the hard spl and a new rom
The battery can last for about 3 days, and I could charge it when the battery is too low that the phone closed itself
Here is my problem...
One week ago, I got my X1i flashed, hard spl then a new rom
Then, the battery cannot last even for a day(12 hours), the battery got about 10% down for an hour! And I cannot charge it when the battery is too low that the phone closed itself any more
Even I flashed my X1i with the stock spl and rom, it didn't go normally like I first flashed my X1i before.
I'm so disapointed now...Is there anyone that can help me?!
By the way, I flashed my Xi1 by using the SD card.

Flash your radio to 1.14, that helped me immensely.

Oh well, I will try it later, thank you.

Ahh...God bless me...
I bought a new battery, and it still goes down at a speed of 10% an hour...
And the stock ROM and RADIO and HARDSPL cannot fix it...
I guess my X1i's hardware got an error when I flash the HARDSPL...
Is there anyway to fix it?
Can any software cause this?
I may get my X1i repaired tomorrow...

Flash the ROM and Radio you want to. But after Flash, do one or two Hardresets! (both softkey hold and softreset)

Make sure you fully charge the battery whilst the phone is completely off.
crabby

I did do hardreset after flash a rom, well, I'll try hardreset for some more time...

Yes, I'm sure that I full charged the battery.

No... full charge whilst on is different to full charge whilst off. Make sure phone is off. This is because the phone can think the amount when it first boots is full and if it does it wont charge to full capacity when on until you fully charge it when off.

Maybe the mainboard(motherboard) is somewhere wrong...

Please help
I have install R3A panel manager which said to be better and faster but it turned out to be the opposite, the panel manager is slower and less atractive than the original plus the task manager is lost, i install it according to the step (install the ActiveX_development.CAB first). I try to uninstall the new panel manager but it make me lost my original panel manager also T_T. Please help me, send me original panel manager installer or the files folder with the instruction because I dont understand how to replace it. Please help for anyone that know how to fix my problem.

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?

Best battery rom?

Hi, has tried some of the rooms here, but is wondering if anyone can recomend a room whit good batterylife?

Really depends on what radio you use also..
but I found Topix to be good on battery.
Turning off 3G will save you alot of battery, and putting your back light onto auto or turning it right down.
How much battery do you get currently?

I think that auto backlight use a lot of power because the light captor is always on. So, i recommend you to set the backlight to about 25 percent and to disable 3G when you don't use it. There are a lot of tip you can find yourself by exploring your Blackstone a little more

hm, i have to charge the phone every night, and almost every day it runs out of power.
The wifi is almost always off. Backlight is manualyset to lov on batt.
The 3g is in use, and have push mail on.
If this is the reason for battery is lov, i really cant have this phone. Im getting bored of running out of battery if im out on the town, or if i want to lisen to music.

Push mail can be problematic.
So, every HTC user who really enjoys his phone has to charge it every night.
MJ was right, "You are not alone"

I leave 3G turned off, have emails sync every 2hours, backlight set to auto, wifi off, text quite alot through the day and a few phone calls.
My battery can last 2 - 3 days easy

Rilphone is the .dll file which communicates between your phone and the radio.
I recommend radio 1.17.25.09 and Rilphone 1.14.25.24

Have you tried ril 1.15?

I'm also using Rill 1.15 and battery life is better than with rill 1.14
Try for a few days like 4 or 5, than you will observe that battery usage is good. Usage is always higher with WM 6.5 than stock.

I was also having battery consumption problems; i have been doing some test and there are some things to take into cosideration:
- If you've been tying Android you must hard reset because it can mess up battery usage.
- Radio 17....... is giving some people (me for example) high battery usage so i've downgraded to 15...
- With radio 15 and Energy Rom (wm6.5 + sense 2.1) with no mail running or any apps istalled, batt is excellent; good for 2 or 3 days no prob.
- I added my gmail account with sync every 5mins and battery usage stills seems to be more than reasonable.
- I have now added my hotmail account using push and i'll report back to see what the results have been.
- It is also a good idea to recalibrate the battery; let your phone run it all the way down until it switches off, then put it on charge for a whole night (without turning it on), this should recalibrate the battery drivers.
Good luck!!!!

Thats my routine too... but only because i use my phone as a music player... A LOT!!!...
during normal "light" use (couple brief calls, some SMS, emails and Twitter updates through 3G, Wi-fi off, bluetooth headset On) my battery can last 2 days with 15 or 10% left at the end of the second day...
the two things i saw that "corrode" battery energy are:
-Wi-Fi
-Music/Video Player (Manilla, WMP or whatever)
Data connection through 3G or Edge are also consuming... but if using few and brief times during the day the impact on battery duration is low...

Sorry to sound extremely sad...but I tried all the ROMS etc for batt life.
Love the Energy ROMS...my fav all time! But just found batt life drained too fast (plus memory slowly creeps up too high)!
So, I went back to the ROM that just gives me the best performance and batt life...Dutty's 6.5 R15...yes I know, the same one Moses used, but just too stable and functional not to have!!
I can go 4 days with normal daily use!

my phone is HSPL 1.56

thanks first_damned for answering my question. I was wondering if the HSPL better than USPL ... Mine is al also HSPL using the same Radio 1.17 + Ril 1.15. however, my phone battery life is not as good as yours. Do you have any more tips for improving my phone battery usage?

Updated ROM: Serious battery drain.

Hi,
I recently (yesterday) updated to the new official ROM (WWE:2.53.405.5) from the HTC website. Today I have found a serious drain on my battery. From full over night charge it dropped to 42% after about 1.5 hours of no use, an hour or so later and the battery was flat.
There doesn't seem to be any tasks running in the background, but even if there were a battery life of around 3 hours isnt right.
Has anyone else found this with the new update? Any ideas?
Thanks
Gary

Mine drains like never before also, did you hard reset your device after the flash? I did at least.

Yeah, tried a hard reset. I don't understand what could be causing it. Are you getting the same ridiculous short battery life that I am?

Not really, but sometimes if I charge my battery to 100% then put the charger out it can go down to 10% within an hour, that happend to me a week ago. But yes, my battery drains very fast, when listening to music, browsing or whatever, 10% in less than 20 minutes..

I am experiencing something simular.
In the same configuration and the stock ROM, I got a little over 2 days on a single charge with normal use. Now I am luckly to make it through the day and need to charge my phone every night.
I have improved somewhat by limiting active sync to look for e-mail every 10 minutes instead of "as mail arrives" which tells me that the drain has something to do with the 3G networking.

Assuming the ROM flashed a different radio version, flash back to a different version and see if that improves your battery life.

I try that and this procedure dont change nothing, from some reason new stock rom drain battery so much, i turn off all radio on my one, no radio at all an battery keep going down, about 10% for 1h-1.5h , so i have to back to previous rom 6.5 stock with manila 2.1 the best one for me, average 3 days on battery

There are some battery improvement tricks available and as there are a lot of requests for these, maybe it would be nice if someone could compile a list and sticky post?
(I heard something about the battery polling frequency for example)

I contacted HTC support and they stated that they were receiving more reports regarding battery drainage after the latest ROM update and that they are in the process of investigating what the root cause is.

Same here after flashing of newest radio rom. Now I´m back on 4.47.25.01 and battery life is much better.

The rom you flashed was 2.53.410.3 with the radio 4.49.25.91?
I have that same rom and radio too and my battery drain is simply bad bad bad.
Every reset takes 7 or 10% sometimes of battery too.
This rom with the radio you flashed 4.47.25.01 works better? no more battery drain? That radio version is quite old, from 6.1 rom?

Battery drain is driving me mad
Greetings
Similar problem on my Topaz.... It has been driving me mad for two months now.
The severe battery drain started after flashing the HTC newest ROM (WWE). The battery started draing fom 100% to 0% (without even warning before switcing off) in less tha 5 hours.
So far I tried the following (by order) all with 3G disabled (GSM only) and all data connections off:
1. New battery bought from HTC -> problem persisted
2. Flashed previous ROM version (WWE 6.5) -> same problem
3. Flashed old 6.1 ROM -> same problem
4. Battery calibration and similar "voodoos" -> problem continues
5. Contacted HTC -> they proposed to do all that I previously did and upon my answer said that I would have to send the mobile to repair (under warranty)
6. Sent mobile to service -> motherboard was replaced (new IMEI) and the poblem continues (mobile returned with Portuguse ROM 6.5)
7. Flashed again the wwE ROM 6.5, calibrated battery, applied all the proposed tweaks after reading hundreds of posts in forums -> same problem
8. Maintained ROM and previus radio version 4.49.25.17 ->still continues
The mobile is always consuming 160 mA (wheb screen is on( jumping sometimes to 330 mA
I am running out of ideas. I am considering trying the ANDROID version for TOPAZ and see if at leat the battery lasts more than 5 hours (to disregard hardware fault)
I still did not try any cooked ROMs
I noticed that in spite of all the tweaks the ActiveSync is not disabled as it keeps writing in the logging file. I wonder if there are other processes running and consuming the battery
Any help (that does not touch the obvious as you can see I already tried plenty) will be appreciated

Regarding Android on Topaz you will get around 6-8hours of moderate usage but we have some problems with the battery meter right now so android will not show you the exact percent of battery. We still need to optimize battery drivers and so on...
Well fast battery drain is usually a common problems among smartphone device running WinMo, Android,... The touchscreen and its backlight are consuming a lot of battery and of course the hardware in it. Regarding WinMo devices fast battery drains occurs when changing driver bases and radio roms. When you change your driver base be sure to calibrate the battery and wait for few days until drivers & battery "settles down". Anyway the other cause may be that your battery is dead. Thats all i know.

Thanks for the information regarding XANDROID.
The phone worked fine for 7 months on WM 6.1 first and WM 6.5 later, with several ROM upgrades in the between (followed by hard resets) .
The battery used to last 1-1.5 days depending on usage and carrier coverage.
The problem developed recently... And my first step was buying a new battery (which is the one I am using now).
I am now in the process of charging, discharging a bit (20-30%) charging again, to try the "driver settling" theory (I must confess that it is hard to chew but since it cannot get worst....)

Yeah, carrier coverage also affects battery life + sense 2.5 is really battery hungry so maybe thats the point. My battery also lasts ~1-1.5 days.
