I install B&B3.7 a week ago. The battery was ok in the first few days.
now it drains very fast. In the night in stand by mode (no application running, LCD is off), 50% of battery is drained. Playing mp3 with mobile media player 1 hour, 12% is drained.
anyone knows a solution for it?
has this problem something to do with the ROM?
P.S. I am using O2 Orbit (Germany)
Thank you.
It's something to do with 'learning'
Apparently, it's all to do with the systen 'learning' the characteristics of the battery - the % reading is probably inaccurate. When you flash a new ROM, it resets all the battery knowledge, and can take a week or three before it gets accurate again.
I had this in the past, then performance stabilised. Now I've reblasted 3.7 and the battery drain is back. Just keep it on a charger overnight for a few days and it should hopefully be ok.
Hi. I'v had the same problem with battery and did three things :
1. This tweak from my old Xda Mini S
2. Installed new Wisbar Advance 3 Beta 5 (if you're using Wisbar Advance). And this probably was the reason of weak battery in my mobile.
3.

And TangerineTractor is right. You need to sort of calibrate your battery reading.
I'm doing some testing since yesterday, but it looks like solved.
Got the same problem dude,
my battery is draining at the speed of light...
I aplied the sd-battery-save.cab but i am still loosing something like 1% every 30mn.
Any info?
thanks
Me Too And Also I Feel Some Slowness In This Room In Comparing To Other Tom Room??
For now, I'v lost 2% after 5 hours or so. Try to recharge your battery from 0% to full 100%. It should help.
I've changed my radio back from 02.94.90 to 02.93.90 that seemed to fix it for me.
Hi, i am getting my tytn tomorrow (with wm5) and now i wanted to know which ROM / Radio has the best (or a at least a very good) battery lifetime?
What's about schaps 4.22 + newest radio ? I heard from some people that this would drain very much power..
Thx for your help!
New TNT seems to ave beenoptimized for that
Battery Life.
I use Shamanix grass 1.3 lite. I installed the apps that I needed. I'm also using 1.38 radio. My battery life with normal usage over a 16-18 hour day is about 75%. I have no problems with my signal strength or battery life. I have it connect to my 3 email account once a hour. I also use gprs for my internet quite often. Total phone usage is about 2-3 hours a day. Thus far the best battery life since my wizard.
This question is hard to answer because everybody uses the phone in different way and it depends on many factors. I also had increased battery drain with newest Schaps ROM.
well i got a replacement phone because on my last dash my screen exploded when i was charging it and since then the battery lasts a couple texts and then dies. is it 6.1? or new battery? i ordered a new battery. but whats the issue? should i downgrade my new phone back to 6?
What you should do is use the search button.
In all seriousness...but it's the battery. Just say No to WM6.
6.1 tends to consume a little more battery then other version such as the 5.0 and 6.0... what you can do is of course get a new battery and then you can use this cab, drag it to your phone and install it from your phone... it tends to save a little battery as this is what the program is made to do...

Also, this is a performance tweak which also should help out...
PERFORMANCE BOOST CAB
Hi,
S2U2 A_C is a disaster, I have the best "saving battery & stable" radio 3.18.19 rom (still 100% after 2 days standby without S2U2 A_C) and with this my battery is only 70% after 3 hours allready!!! Disaster battery drain, removed it immediately (for a collegue also)
Think I won't use anything anymore, or mabye that "autolock" included in Dheewatara's rom (dont link the wm6 lock, you lose too much time with password).
A nice flower with a nice slide you think at first, but flowers need water and battery drain
Cheers

It is, definitely. 6.1 is better without a lock. And if you desperately need one you should go for 6.5
throttle lock.....haven't tried it but it looks nice
Has anyone else had any battery life problems with the new Rom by ookba? I have one of those extended life batteries in my excalibur ( it is a 2400 mAh ) and I have found it loses power much quicker after I installed the new Rom by ookba. By the way I love the Rom it is awesome! But I was wondering if there is something I could do to increase the battery life more like it was befor I installed the new Rom. I do not want to take the new Rom off cause it Rocks!
I would like to have the battery last a bit longer though.. I don't know if it is the titanium panels or what that is making it lose power so quick after I have it on all day ( with bt off and wi-fi only occasionally ) it drops to 70 to 60 percent power by nightime. I have the normal stuff set up on the phone to use the best possible battery life but uses a lot more battery than befor I put the new Rom by ookba in.
I am looking for some answers but do not want to take this super Rom off my phone.
Thanks!
Personally my battery life has drastically improved since I moved from one of the Rose's Roms to 3VO's Rom. I had no idea that a Rom could make such a big difference in terms of battery life.
My battery life has gone down since upgrade to "3VO Rom ver 2.50 080809"(But still I like this rom). It only lasts 18hrs without any extensive usage. I will suspect that its radio which is causing this drain.

That is reallly odd. I have a 1550 mAh extended battery, and in one day of decent usage I only go down to 80% on a daily basis.
What I do notice is that once I hit 35-40%, battery usage increases insanely (but i am assuming that this is due to some anti-fail methods used to preserve the phones functions and whatever you may be working on , but i may be wrong). But besides that, i have had no real power issues...

same thing here. i switched back to 2.0 and have been very happy with the battery life...
This has been a well documented issue with the 2.50 version of the ROM. Ookba is aware and has mentioned reverting to an older core but keeping the same UI tweaks and feel of 2.50. If the drain is that much of a concern try version 2.00, 071809. It supposedly has a 'hole' in it but I never noticed it. The icons are a little different and there aren't as many UI tweaks but I had GREAT battery life on it. But if you can deal with it for a while Ookba I am sure will have something for us to try when he gets done over on the Maple page. The Dash 3G needs 3VO too ya know. So its up to you. Try the other ROM that doesn't have as much eye candy but has better life until a new release, or deal with the battery drain like the rest of us and wait for a new release. I just close out my programs as much as I can. I have a 960 maH and I get about 24 hours with regular use. Up to you.
battery life is so good so far
the battery life was good and improved and the mobile changed totally as i feel i got new one thanks for 3vo rom
I have noticed that my battery is also going low very quickly after this rom upgrade. today I'v removed omap clock settings from startup and looking what will happen. I think the OMAP is eating more power from my battery. the battery is 960mah and lasted 3-4 days with previous NRG rom.
well i completely agree i am using same battery and it was draining very quickly so i switched back to kavana 6.1 and every thing was normal again

I improved battery performance by using the OMAP Clock GUI and setting the low-end to 180 and the high-end to 252.
I agree, it must have something to do with the last version because the previous versions didn't drain so quickly...
I disabled omap and nothing significant happened, during the night in standby mode the battery was drained from 60% to 25%. now I disabled titanium panels and changed back to sliding panels. And there is IT! the battery life is much better, I think the "power eater" was titanium panel. You can give it try and post results.
remove check status mscr
its in the startup folder. helped me alot. before with my phone habits i would make it about 3hrs if that.
ookba posted this in his ROM thread.

There's no way that's possible. If anything, HTC Sliding Panels will eat more battery than CHome because it's a loyout no longer native to the OS. checkstatus.mscr is the culprit. Almost positive.
I Do Completly Agree ...
Yes I feel the 3VO Rom Ver 2.50.080809.. makes the effect on the performance of the Battery Life, I would indeed like make a STRONG APPEAL on behalf of all the users of 3VO Rom Ver 2.50.080809, to MR. OOBKA that he should get us some way of it , because we love and admire his hard work a Lot.

Battery Patch
Guys, I built a patch file that makes a few changes in an attempt to help battery life. Please install it and reboot.
Also could be found on the second post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=224547&d=1252178358
well i'm 3 hours into testing the patch.. gonna see if i can beat my normal 24-36 hours limit. i'll let you know tomorrow if i see any improvement
for me its a big improvement almost half day since i last charge my dash and with normal used im on 93%, before it will eat up 20% just texting from time to time.
tomorow i'll post again, before i can used my dash with the newest rom for just 1 1/2 day or less.
*70% left for 24 hrs
im in the middle of figuring out something. Its highly unlikely this is ookba's problem but, i installed the patch and got great battery life for 2 days about 5 hours longer than normal. I fully recharged before i went to bed and woke up this morning with my battery at 38% thats a 62% lose in less than 8 hours... anyone have any ideas. I'm used to running 18-30 hours non stop on this battery
2.50 and 2.60 rom update
i keep getting an error on my phone from time to time
Tmobile Dash 3G Mapl100
error: Cannot find window "DesktopExplorerWindow"
ive done hard reset's and everything still comes up on both roms
