Hello everybody!
Does someone else has this problem?
After i update my Universal (Dopod 900 to JasJar Rom) i feel that it drains much more battery than usual...
I just came back from one travel (plane), so, i left whole the timephone, bluetooth and wifi off, but in around 40 hours it had only 12% of battery!!! meanwhile, my Dopod 700 was 95%!!!
Some bluetooth or wifi issue?

I've just got an MDA3. Is the battery life really that bad? With wifi/bluetooth off, radio on, backlight on maximum, writing for 25 minutes constantly to SD-card (making a backup), it went down from 100% to 88%. Also, does anyone have experiences with the mugen extended batteries?...
usually lst a bit longer if u turn the backlight down to lowest without turning it completly off. only use things when u relly have to. and if u travel get a car charger, its a real lifesaver. dont use vibrate cos that uses a lot of power, its the screen that uses the power the most,i find that if i turn the battery meter off that my battery also lasts a little longer. the other day i used wifi for a minute,and i forgot to turn it off, within an hour i lost 60% of battery power.
and id like to har more about extended batteries!
I always turn off WiFI and BT when not in use, stanby mode ( phone on unit off) I get all day out of one charge. But start playing games or internet with WiFI and I'm lucky to get 2hrs out of 1 charge. I also use an auto charger and have a seperate USB sinc/charge cable with power connector to recharge at work.
1 of the downsides of the Qtek, but it is better than the iPAQ 2210 that I had before.

I purchsed an Mugen extended battery from Lion Battery http://etxquc.simplyonline.com/
I got a version 2 2200mAmp battery and it works fantastic. There are a subset of people that have had problems with the battery, but Lion has been great about exchanging them without complaint.
There's a version 3 coming out thats 2400.
I say well worth the cost myself. Its taken my Sprint 6600 from a recharge once a day minimum to a 2-day pda.

No one cpould advise me on the charging issues that was was posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391732. Can some one pls help me in the below mentioned charging issue?
I picked up the extended battery for my Hermes 100 (running 19701.1.1.0 PV DVH (G&C) with 1.54.30.10 radio) since I was not happy about the OEM battery life.
Now I am facing this problem of the batteries not fully charging. Even after overnight charging my phone would be showing 50% (I use battery status) If I reset the phone now with charger connected, would show 80% charge. If I remove the battery for a minute and put it back on then OEM battery would show 100% charge and the extended battery would show 90%.
I've tried charging the extended battery with the phone off for 18 hrs but the light never turned green.
Can some one help me with this my batteries are also draining very fast compared to my old prophet by 8 hrs of regular usage I am down to 10% (with backlight on minimum, and 3G turned off) . Could some one gimme the tips to get over the charging issue and conserve battery power? Thanks in advance
If your extended life battery is draining in 8 hours, then you have either some software going nuts and hogging the CPU 100% of the time, or you have faulty hardware.
I had a similar issue, and after weeks of testing, they took the phone back and replaced every PCB inside the unit. Problem was solved, and now I get 1-2 days off the stock OEM battery with average usage.
Oh..ho.. That's trouble
Thanks for the feedback.. But I am in India and got this phone from UK... What do I DO...
i use these softwares, do you see any Villains in them ??
BatteryStatusExt.1.05.build_0294 ( This show CPU usage between 30-50 on moderate use)

thanks..
It must be a battery defect. Try putting new battery and see what happen.
Some new ROM Makers have problems with the ROM Kitchens so better to try new ROM or try an older version from the Legend ROM Makers

etc
Umm..
Lemme wait for Schaps new one.... Hopefully I could get this sorted out??

Hi All,
Ever since i've upgraded to WM6.1 on my HX4700 I get a battery drain while PDA is off. Charged the battery to 100% and during the night (~11 hours) the battery has only 70% charge left. With WM2003SE it would be ~99% or so.
Does anybody know if this is normal for WM6.1 or that my battery is dying? Battery is about 2 to 3 years old.
GPS, WiFI, BT all is off.
Any way of measuring if the batt still OK? When idle i have about 200mA drain.
Any good replacement batteries available, price/quality ?
Thanks in advance!
I'd say your batter is on the way out, there should be practically zero [less than 1% of total capacity per day] drain at room tempreture and even less the colder it gets.
Getting 2-3 years out of a battery is pretty good.

you should have a look on the processes runing in Background. Per example SK-Tools or the integrated Taskmanager can show you how much cpu-usage a process causes. It should be around 0-2% when no program is started in Background. If there is a higher cpu-usage something is wrong. Perhaps some Software that doesn´t fit to WM6.1
I had a Ipaq H6340 and after 5years of daily usage the battery was still able to hold on for 5days(with some usage). So the HP batterys are not as bad as many other batterys put in some devices.

Try to recalibrate your battery, you can found it in the Wiki, I have my original battery since Aug 05 and with an extensive use (WI-FI, bluetooth, a lot of calls and internet) it last for 28hours form 100% till recharge
Hope this helps
Cheers

I come from a different device camp (Loox) but you may be experiencing the same issue that our community has with the WM5, WM6 and WM6.1 (much the same MS code as your HP) ? The culprit is probably ActiveSync on the PPC. It seems to come alive for notifications or "silent" alarms/tasks or appointments set by the Calendar application. It then leaves the device on for as long as the time before switch off on battery power is reached! I agree that soemthing like SK-Tools should detect it, but you have to be around to see it. It is amazing how much power is taken by these events.
Worth checking? The Loox solution was to create a dummy or Fake server in ActiveSync and make sure it only ever wakes under manual control not automatically and to make the on time with no activity on battery very short.
You might also like to try the freeware acbPowerMeter application? A search on this site or Google will find it. It shows you current consumption in any PPC device when on battery. It is quite revealing and you can find out just what current is taken by each setting (e.g. scrren brightness) and application. I have had it installed on 3 generations of PDAs including an old HP Jornada.
Thanks for the replies!

Wondering if the batt is bad as yesterday it ran about 7 hours from 100% to 2%, pda was on and idle.

CPU usage is only 0-2% or so when idle. Don't have much running in the background. Notestoday and Wisbar Advance 3.

I did a recharge last night after letting it drain to 2%. So let's see if that did the recalibration. Read on other topics that indeed after installing WM6.1 it's best to drain the bad and recharge as it needs to calibrate again.

When the PDA is on and idle, it consumes about 180mA with now and again a peak around 400mA, so nothing big.
Will check the activesync out as maybe that is what is activated when PDA is off. Yet via SK tools I set AS auto connect to OFF.
Thanks!

unless you have the mogul/titan
Hi,
Seems to be fixed now that I drained the batt to 2% and recharged it to 100%.
Overnight the drain was 1% only
Cheers!
Hello, I am having a problem, my excalibur is hung and Turn Off, being in Stand by. It becomes very warm and the only way of restarting it is extracting the battery. Some idea?
The same thing happens to me with 6.1 that with 6.0. In 6.1 it is more frequently (2 or 3 times per day)
Id say your phone is damaged in some way, its not the ROMs, try using a different battery since I read from other posts that can sometimes be the problem.
New battery
Yesterday i put in the new battery its a 1050 mAh and the result was excelent.
my phone doesnt turn off any more and the temperature is constant at 23º c.
and after 24 hours of use the level of charge drops only a 3% with Kavana 6.1 vanilla.
Hi , i got a note 4 from rogers for now 2 years. My old battery was dead so i bought a new battery. I got a lexmar 3400 mah from best buy.
But i still got battery drain. Nothing was done today on the cell phone except. Sms, some internet search and 1 hour of songza music.
And im about 28% left for 3.5 hour of use...
Is the battery truly 3400mah? The only 3rd party battery that's trustworthy is anker so I'd start by seeing if the battery is legit before going further
Wifi is possessed, battery drain
My wifi is going crazy ! When I try to turn off the wifi it keeps turning it back off and on again. It can stay on with no problem. Because it keeps turn on and off its killing my battery life, anyone else experience this or better yet found a fix ?
