Hard Resetting so may change ROM - Any recommendations? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

Hi.
I currently have a O2 Exec with the latest O2 Rom (corporate mode) and am finding the battery is only lasting for 6 hours as it is now.
I am going to hard reset it and rebuild it with only the standard apps and things I really do need to see if it increases the battery life.
As I am hard resetting, I am wondering if I should change the ROM at the same time. I am planning to do a pin reset when it restarts so it doesn't install any of the customisations in the EXT ROM and then manually add what I need...
The main things I need from the ROM is push email, plenty of battery life and a decent signal strength. Also, a nice looking phone dialer skin with video mode (are they any screen shots of the carrier specific phone dialers available to look at)
I cam considering using the Doopod ROM (although not seen what the phone dialer looks like!)...If you where hard resetting your Exec which ROM would you use?
Cheers

P3300 Battery drain problem...

I'm just doing tired of unistall apps and monitor processes to see what causes this all of a suddent. First i thougt it was phone alarm, then voice commnad..now i start to think that this is since i intaleld htc official rom. I had the touch rom before and everything worked fine...now my battery with regular use dont last till the end of the day. Anyone having this problem...any sugestion?
same problem
i even bought a new battery and it only lasts 1 and half days
With the HTC official rom too?
yeah official o2 wm5 rom, think mine has somet to do with the reset button as ive never pressed it yet as i just got the device and i have relised its stuck so think it keeps restarting randomly..
Anyone knows any app wich i can mesure the battery consuption independetly...i just dont know what to do more. Or i need a opinion on stable WM6 Rom for Artemis with some good store space....
Hi all on this Thread, about Battery drain power.
First of all, it could be better to help you if we can see what kind of OS (original or cooked) you own on your PDA.
I saw an option on Tweaks2k2 .NET that could "Boot @ full power mode" with some warnings. Warnings that talk about draining power of you PDA with some alarm reminders that are still activated.
That could be a way to look for.
My rom is the official HTC upgrade to WM6. I didnt use any tweek so far. Just want to see if anyone had this problem with the official rom since this problem appered after i intealed the offcicial rom. I had the touch rom before and everything was fine. I'll try to put the app to see if is set to full power dont know how...thanks.
get a application like BATTERYSTATUS which permits to over/underclock your system and check if your CPU speed is set to the correct one. sometimes making a hard reset right after upgrading a rom is also a good idea
Already have and always used it...its not the processor speed..i think its some app but i cant find wich or the radio version since when i make a 1 or 2 minutes call always 1 or 2% go down

Battery status gives you the comsumption. In that case set the refresh delay to something like 2/3 minutes. Of course, in that case, battery status will have itself a high comsumption of battery. But it can give you clues.
I noticed that battery drain is a lot higher after flashing a ROM, some people have a theory that the battery training starts all over after a flashing process. I think I can confirm that. My battery never lasted more than 1.5 days after flashing a ROM and my first GPS fix took about 3 minutes. A few days later my battery was fine again.
If the power consumption info from batterystatus is not enough try this taskmgr: http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm or get some battery benchmark software from on of the big freeware sites.

Hello EveryOne,
I have Imate PDA2K and any one who is going to solve my following two issues i will pay him $5 as a gift from me by PayPal.
The problems are:
1. When ever i remove the battery of my phone to change the sim card the time and date changes to the default time and date something like the manufature date. I try to upgrade the rom to wm5, then wm6 but nothing help. Even the backup battery is showing 100% full all the time.
2. When ever i try to call i press the answer button but the call don't connects. Some times connects and some time i have to try hundreds of time to connect my call. Same thing is for the recieving the call. Some time it connects and sometimes it hangs during answering the call.
I will really pay $5 who will help me to sort out these problems. I buy this device as pre-owned device that's why not able to get help at clubimate.com and hence plan to get help here and pay a part of pre-owned fee to someone here.
Thank you,
1.) it's a backup battery problem, change the backup battery.
eventhough it says 100% doesnt mean it's not failing.
the backup battery is charging from your main battery.
it may show 100% but easy recharged when you put the main battery.
if it is easily recharged... it will easily discharge... hence, flat batt.
2.) i dont know this but it maybe related to main battery failing to give power to the phone module. i had a BA with no service /and/ talks disconnection once but when i changed to a new battery it was gone.

Thanx for your response...
1. Can backup battery easily changable i mean is it like a big battery like we have in our pc motherboards or a special service center have to change it?
2. Let me change the baterry today and see what happens.
no prob... just add your reward to your battery procurement.
and i hope that works...
What else may be?

I have changed the battery today and it done the same call answering problem just one time in over 20 calls before this ratio was 99% of 100% times.
What else may be creating this problem of hanging mobile during recieving the call. And also please tell me which rom of wm6 is best you think i will use?
install 2003se rom back, if u hv 2005.
try xplode's latest cook. it's in the WM6 thread of BA
The rom does not matter (well mine is a lil quicker than others but)
1. Simple SIM change procedure - press power, wait 10-20 sec. , then remove the battery and change the sim. after powering on hit reset once (or you will get no radio) - this way the date will not reset
2. Phone LAG - this problem occures when a lot of memory and cpu power is used for the OS, then the phone starts to lag. Here is a simple tweak which will speed up the phone app - press Start => Settings => Sounds & Notifications , remove the check for Events (warnings, system events)
there are a lot of tweaks which will speed up overall performance of the phone, but you need to search the forums for them
And remember, the phone app is the same for all WM5/6 devices so the tweaks are the same, you can look in other devices forums for tweaks
Thnx Every One!
Hello,
Thank you every one for your replies.
I changed the battery and currently checking it to make sure the problems got solve out.

Different ROMs power consumption

I am using my Hermes as my primary phone, making about 10 phone calls per day, 20 minutes of browsing and PUSH MAIL for one account. I am connected to 3G network with HSDPA support. I am using stock 1300 mAh battery.
I was using Dvha v17 for long time and finishing my day with 40% battery and always thought this is how it should be.
I had some stability issues (lockups) and I have decided to upgrade the ROM.
First, I installed PDACorner v21. Stability of the system was great, no lockups anymore. But, in the middle of the day (about 4pm) my battery was empty. Switching to 2G left me with about 50% of the battery in the end of the day, but I don't like 2G because of the noise it makes to all speakers I am passing by.
Then I installed CRC v13, then PDACorner v23 and still had the same battery life.
This weekend I decided to try Dvha v21 (build 20721) and suddenly my battery is 40% at the end of the day with 3G HSDPA enabled!
On all ROMs I am installing the same set of programs and using the same mail account for push. The only difference is the Dvha is a big storage ROM, while all others I chose NRBSN.
I am always using Advanced Config and enable power management for all possible devices.
I also tried to upgrade radio ROM, but then had to downgrade back to 1.48 which is the best for me. No noticeable change in battery life with different radios.
Switching to 2G will dramatically improve battery life, leaving at least 50% on the end of the day. Disabling push will leave at least 70% on the end of the day.
Can anybody else confirm this? The difference is huge! It's about finish the day or not!
I found some posts saying that with push enabled, charging during the day is normal and usual for some people. I would agree, but now I am holding a device that is able to run all day long on HSDPA and with push enabled! I installed new version Dvha to confirm this.
It could be great if someone will find out what is different in Dvha ROM that improves battery life with push mail so drastically. Other ROMs are still more stable. With the new Dvha version I still have lockups and have to soft-reset at least once a day. I can't afford it with my primary phone. I need 100% stability during the day and I must admit that both PDACorner and CRC NRBSN ROMs are very much stable (thank you, chefs).
P.S. My next experiment will be installing the first non big storage Dvha ROM, which is Dvha v22, build 20748. I want to know if it's related to the big storage.
MRH 8.4 and Faria
I have tested all the ROMS put on successively here. My usage is similar to yours. However, I find Faria Puttingham ROM and MRH 8.4 as best stable roms. CRC gives problems and PDAVIET is just trash for my HERMIS. Rebooting several times means losing data and does not make sense.
Coming to PDA CormerPRO they are as good as MRH. since MRH has stopped development, PDAcoerner is the ROM to stick or just go back to Faria for long battery life. I use HERMIS 300 that is Tmobile MDA vario II. So there may be subtle differences in functioning.
I never got problems with 2G dialer either on my Tmobile MDA. I do not know 3G as this service is not available in my area.
what is the best dialer by the way? that has history and speed dial bottons? thanks
rocksolid
Hmm
Have a jasjam here, constantly on 3g, with active sync to 2k7, about 10-20 3 minute calls, running on 1.56.70.11 radio, not that much browsing as I only reply to emails, 20 SMS a day, etc.
My battery last a day, at night time I have to plug my phone in charger and ready for the next day.
I run SPB phone suite and mobile shell, with Yahoo! Go, palringo for IM, and yeah with a windows mobile device, and running it as heavy as I am making calls, push email and listening to music while driving home really .. no biggie. It is kinda expected, I may try and find if there is any extended batteries for the hermes I can use.
PS, my day starts at 5 a.m. finishes at 9 p.m.

What is your ROM? Do you have stock battery?

My only ROMs so far that I like are CRC and PDA corner on my signature both had the same results
as i known on technical hardware, if we have device an old for 2 years and never change stock battery. we have lost half past more during a day. cause it's not just software related, but hardware also
The main power draws are the old 3G chispset and the backlight on the screen.
Theres only so much you can do with software, this being, as said, a 2year old phone.
1. This is not hardware related question, since I am using the same device for testing. It's one day with one ROM empty the battery before 4pm, the other day with DVHA it will finish the day with 40% left.
2. I am now on DVHA v22 - non-BS version. This is the first DVHA non-BS ROM. It's 6pm now and I have 40% left. This is still better than other ROMs, but worse than DVHA v21 which was BS (I am not sure this is related).
3. I am going to try PDACorner v24 big storage. This will be the first time I install BS version for ROM having also non-BS one (I hate big storage). I will try it on the first day it will be out of beta.
4. My device is JasJam, which is Herm100. Is there any differences in 3G module between different modifications? If so, it can explain a lot...

For the most part BS roms use slightly more power, and compressed roms even more so.
No, the different Hermes models are just different front facing camera's

yes I will have to agree with the BS stuff, as with non BS of pda corner and was on CRC's 11.2 I didn't experience any fast draining of what a BS of PCpro or any other roms for that matter.
i usually just view i dont post ...but i had to add in on this i only picked pvdvh full v18 because it had the lowest idle %, and i regret every second of making this decision. ever since this rom has hijacked my phone, i have tried about 12 roms since ive gotten this phone, and none of them have underperformed like v18 it had a "phone off" bug, where it wont let me turn the phone function on..i have to reset constantly, i have constant freezes, i can no longer use my usb connection to pc for some reason, and i seem to lose battery power at a rate of 1% every 2-3 minutes or so if the screen is lit. on the lowest setting . i believe my only option now since i cant pc connect, i have to get a card reader and load an sd autorun just to get this off of my dopod. i hope it hasnt done any perm damage

As with all roms, your mileage may differ, if that roms not so good for you, flash another.

Power consumption based on storage schema
If you run testing on different ROMs with a standard usage pattern (voice calls, SMS, Push...) using the same Radio set to 2G the difference will be the OS itself.
The part of the OS that makes a difference for battery drain is the way the storage is accessed, either directly (ROM/SDFlash) or from live RAM.
When the ROM is accessed it has to get powered and since it is slow the CPU has to be clocked longer not to mention that if data are compressed (RBSC)the CPU has to decompress the content before it's of any use. This may not be a huge difference but when you repeat this cycle half a million times it ads up to a lot more power drain - Same thing goes for the SD-Flash except these are rarely compressed.
The time-proven workaround is to set aside a region of fast RAM to shadow content from the power hungry non-volatile storage.
The bottom line of power drain is a trade off between Free-RAM size vs. DSK caching. The best of both world solution may be to run a cache resized automagically (HLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\DataCache=0 and FATCache=0). The OS caches all it needs in RAM and automatically writes dirty pages to storage in the background or when more RAM is needed to run your programs.
Actually the above automatic cache schema is not the best solution for our phones. To further increase your battery life you need to hardset your cache size so WM does not have to keep resizing all its different caches non stop!
The big plus with hardset cache size is the RAM free space won't become as fragmented so WM will be less unstable.
Interesting Cache size settings are one of 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 in number of sectors... the RAM usage is only half that (2048 sectors fit in 1MB of RAM). Logically you want to keep a smaller FAT cache ratio for the Data it's pointing to. If it's too small you will get cache missed and data will get fetched from storage.
Now you can set your own preferences based on your needs and be your own chef: more free RAM for large programs Apps. or longer battery span.
Is that empowering to tweak your favorite ROM?
After about a week with DVHA v22, I switched to PDACorner v25
It's 2:40pm now and my battery is empty.
Same device, same battery, same programs, same emails...
Everything is the same - the ROM is different. It was 40% battery left at the end of the day with DVHA, now it's empty in the middle of the day.
Any thoughts?

Yep, I hear you mate! That's why I said:"If you run testing on different ROMs with a standard usage pattern (voice calls, SMS, Push...) using the same Radio set to 2G the difference will be the ROM OS image itself.
The part of the OS that makes the most difference for battery drain is the way the storage is accessed: either directly (ROM/SDFlash) or from live RAM."
Luckily I have some solutions ... but this will require manual reg. surgery on a per ROM basis until it gets integrated directly in the ROM builds (combination of PwrMgt fixes and ROM access avoidance for the most part).
Last weekend I spent half day poking around the UI while at the same time playing MP3 non-stop. After 6 hours I still had around 60% bat. I think I have the Reg tweaks for "long-life battery"

You have a real good point but I don't know how to make my own sandwich...
If I am pleased with what is in the ROM, why try to cook my own when I don't know exactly how it's done?
Instead I fix the installed base ROM with my own performance tweaks. At this point I believe this is the most productive way for the user community instead of having one more cook competing for the best ROM combination of Apps.
I shall post my Long-life battery tweaks which by the way yields performance improvements through less ROM access.
On another note, the SDCard issues people are having may be caused by the SD internal wear-leveling logic relocating blocks thus scrambling cached FAT...
I will post on all the above once I can contribute sure fixes.

Would you mind posting up what you have for us to have a play around with?

opinion on my battery,also noticed charge light flicker

facts.
US tmobile rom.
100 % battery at 8am from overnight charge.
used config 3.3 for all advized power savings.
no push internet, or anythign like that..weather etc..all basicaly stock.
no running programs..
connected on the EDGE network.
downloaded 5 emails, responded to 1
browsed opera for 5 minutes
used built in youtube to watch a 5 minute vid clip.
youtube vid clip took 30 minutes to download (due to edge speed)
back of phone very warm as if it were ON a charger
now i am at 75% bat life.
info says
0 standby time
0 talk
1 hour 20 min device usage (of which was only what i had above.)
can i get an opinion? or better yet, can someone do the EXACT same thing and if your at 75% after doing what i did?
i just dont feel right about it...it seems yesterday before i got advice about using my wireless... i tried edge today... and it seems to be identical as yesterday... maybe i feel this way because last week i noticed when i was charging in the car and at work via laptop... the charge light kept going out after 10 seconds and flickering even though it was around 70% full...kind of like i feel that i have 25% dead cells or something...
Hi there,
You might want to try this as i remeber reading this in a thread about the battery life of the tp 2. With adv config do not put the power saving settings on for the memory card as for some reason it uses more power.
However if you are not using a mem card then I am not sure.
Hope that helps
yes i did see that, treid both ways.. no change.
I spoke to tmobile yesterday and they are sending me a new battery.
today i turned the phone on at 100% and seen it drop 3 percent in 15 minutes reading 1 text message....
ill know if this is all solved possbily friday, if i get my new battery.
Hi again,
If it helps, still on stock Rom, not used advanced config to configure any power settings, prefer the manual approach of use the reg for anything I feel the need to change.
Been a slow day today with the Rhodium, but here's my stats for you.
Battery currently at 80%, not using the 1% tweak either.
9hrs 38 mins standby since last full charge (left in docking bay overnight)
6 minutes talk time
37 minutes device usage
16GB Sandisk card, HSPL, Stock Rom, Stock Radio, Tmob UK
Bluetooth allways on, though not always connected (Mainly HFP and A2DP usage for in car)
my advice, as posted before, do a hard reset, don't apply any tweaks at all and see how it goes.
I have installed a great deal of apps and quite a few reg enhancements (See my tweaks thread 90% of them are on my device)
manually set to GSM (constant bouncing from HSPDA in my location if not forced, which hammers my charge)
Installed apps,
SPB Mobile Shell & TF3D for UI
Exchange push mail active
TT7, Coreplayer, Skype, TCPMP, FMRadio, DOTFred Taskmanager,MAXTTM TF3D Config, WKTask, PIMBackup, PowerRadio, SPB Radio, SPB TV, MP3 Trimmer, MP3 Alarm, Beastmaster, VoiceCommand, and a *** load of games.
Are you using a wall charger to charge in the evenings or only USB?
How low do you let the device get before charging again.
Normally I would charge whenever possible, charges in the car cradle, charges when docked in the office.
However today I've let stay uncharged all day to monitor just for you mate
Cheers,
Beasty
THANKS.. that does give me some info..
im definatly going to get a new battery..
i will hard reset tonight...
you mention you dont use config 3 for your tweaks, you just go into the reg...
i was thinking that too.. this all seemed to start around the time i installed that program....( i did check the memory card powersave option)
tonight i will hard reset...and try what you do...
appreciate your help...
quick question, since im doing a hard reset and reloading my tmo rom back in to stock.... i read a post where someone said that if you cancle the "extra" instalations during this time, it wont load in the extra tmobile bloatware...
are you familiar with this?
I have also noticed if the notification lights goes blinking or maybe flickers, the battery is consumed more than its usual when it stays off. I do not know why....

Yes,
You used to be able to soft reset during auto config, however I had heard reports that this no longers works on the Rhodium.

I noticed that processor intensive stuff like watching videos drains the battery quite fast. I was watching a 2 hour movie and the battery was down by about 50%. So battery killers I noticed so far are:
- Surfing on mobile data connection (just keeping it online but without data transfer seems to have little impact on battery life, so things like push mail or push internet shouldn't drain the battery that much).
- GPS
- Anything CPU / Graphic intensive like Videos, Navigation system.
No surprises here, actually. Apart from that, i have very decent battery life of about 3 days normal usage (little surfing, push mail, push internet, 10 minutes of calls per day and using a few apps (task tracker and a few games .
heres an update...
last night i did what beasty recomended... i hard reset.. installed only icons etc...stopped push internet...opera..etc...
the only thing i DIDNT reinstall was System congif 3.3..
i immediatly noticed a difference in LESS battery drain....
so far, i am leanign towards System config program does something that increases battery drain...
althogh there are a few settings in that program i would like to use, i am very hesitant on reinstalling it as it might cause a problem again...
heres a couple questions for all..
is there any way i can copy MY rom with all the settings programs icons, etc etc.to be able to flash my stuff back? Not just back up my stuff.. but everything i done..so if i ever had to hard reset, i would be hard reseting to MY settings and rom and not factory tmo rom?
also, if i were to install system config, and it changes settings...if i were to UNINSTALL sys config, do all the settings now go back to what they were before i installed it?
i would like to try and confirm it was sys config causing problems, but dont want to have to hard reset all over again...
Uninstalling Advanced Config will NOT revert settings.
Look into UC, most cooked Roms are UC compliant now thanks to Sleuth's code, see here

and

Once you understand UC, you can create your own customisations, apps list to install etc etc, this way each time you flash a Rom, or hardreset all your apps and configs are applied automatically by UC.
Hope that helps,
ps, advanced config is not currently listed as supporting the Rhodium

yes that helps ALOT!
thank you..
i will see if i can understand UC... maybe if so then it would help me greatly...
i will stay away from advance config...

Enjoy,
Rebuilding the clutch on a Ninja........ easy job too
Rebuilt many a bike, I think every rider should, gives you a much better understanding and appreciation for your machine, especially when your getting close too the 200MPH mark round the track, who better to trust than yourslef, knowing that you put every single nut and bolt in there.
Great fun, I once burnt a whole through two pistons at 180 (fortunately down the straight)
Seems we share a few similar hobbies mate, good luck with both.
The Wiki is always a good place to start on here when learning things.
Cheers,
Beasty
LOLLOLOLOL wow... 180!!
lol...
this forum and the zx10r forums are the only forums im on...hahah...
both are a great help from people like you... i just finished replacing my fork seal... but its still leaking.. ill have to look very close on second repair.. must be some sort of scratch... the best was when i using my TP2 to view the repair manual as i was working on it!!

crashing is it the battery?

Crashes when I get text message or try and turn off wifi is it my battery in my dash? or firmware bugs?

you should use BandSwitch so batteries are not wasteful...
Dual line support with two pin codes.
If the password(s) is/are incorrect the device will sound and vibrate and show Pin Page.
Pin enable user: remember to enter pin(s) again after reinstall.
Looking in my magic glass bowl and speculating about what you did not tell to judge your situation, I guess:
- messed up installation of SW on the system -> do a hard reset
- weird custom ROM settings -> use another ROM or shipped ROM
- check how long your battery lasts with standard load (see my signature)
Saving battery power is always a good idea, but unless you are in very bad radio coverage, switching off the mobile or radio is not helping much for battery life. Your operator sets the interval for the mobile to reconfirm its location even if not moving, so for some operators the load may be high on battery during the night, for others neglect-able.
Automatic disconnect for WIFI is already part of the standard settings, no need for a dedicated tool imho.
