MDA Compact III loosing settings when not charged - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Hi, Does anyone have this issue, I have got an MDA Compact III, when the device has run out of battery and I plug it in to charge it is loosing the clock and date / time... this has also effected my calender but not my contacts.
I beleive this issue could be the battery back up but before I take it back to t-mobile store and have the defective battery changed I just wanted to check here as I was under the impression WM5 didnt need a battery back up solution for memory? Any help appreciated. James

No problem. See the ROMs I used in my signature.
As it is already mentioned in many similar threads like yours here, this problem is already concluded. Use the search tools to read first before posting new threads.
General conclusion is,
1. Lithium Polymer Battery (the one used by Universal) problem.
- After my "come with phone Battery" died (only can work between 100% to 98% now, used to be up to 34%) usually after certain number of charging. Mine survive 6 months.
- I have bought 1 new battery and lucky enough it is working and it survive few ROM upgrades and is still working (100% to 0%), about 2 days for my usage.
- I have further tried to buy some more new batteries which unfortunately not working and I have went for an exchange which is also not working and finally get a refund.
- So I have one working battery with me now
2. In some cases, it is Universal (the device) hardware problem.
Maintainence
1. Working battery used only wall charger that comes with the phone.
2. Avoid USB charging. Disable the option in Registry or use the demage battery for Activesync.
3. Some say aviod car Charger as well.
This problem appeared when up rom from beta 15 to AKU 3.5
i have faced this problem too, it come from rom (in my case) when I up rom from beta 15 to AKU 3.5, its can use only for 34% and when I turn on wifi, it is turned off from 40% battery! afetr that, I up rom back to beta 15, everything is ok againt, wifi use untill 15%! what is ther real reason?

Check some of my complaining of new software post in other threads for this problem.
I used to think the same as you did when I upgrade my device from original "come with the phone" Aku1.0 (see my signature) to official Aku2.0 ROM provided by Dopod (see my signature). It just happen to be the same time immediately after upgrade that this 34% problem occurs to me and with more power consumption function (eg Wi-fi, LCD full brightness, bluetooth, play MP3 from SD, etc), it goes off around 60% (the only different from your 15%). Guess what, I keep email & call Dopod even though I read the threads saying it is a battery problem. Until I bought a new battery and also read somewhere to avoid USB charging and my new battery function properly with a few upgrades (see my signature).
I have also tried Ivan & Indra for few hours with my working battery and it is still working today.
And it also happens that I ever bought 2 bad batterys and got refund in the end.
It is about time for me to go and search for a good new battery.
I had the same battery problem and it occured just after upgrade to AKU 2 (Orange UK) from AKU 1. It seems that other people have also experienced the problem after ROM upgrade (it doesn't appear to matter what the ROM version is.)
I wonder if the process of reflashing the ROM has any bearing on the problem:
- does it put any extra stress on the battery?
- does it reset an internal counter or upset the battery calibration?
Just a thought.
Sandy.
Me too. Auto shutdown occurs just after upgrade to Helmi AKU 3.3 rom. With old AKU2 rom, it never happens and can use until very low battery.
I also don't think it is battery problem. Any idea?
My problem was cured once I installed a new battery. And it definately seems to be a problem with the battery or battery circutry, but the problem seems to be triggered by a ROM flash (in some cases.) Maybe the perfomance of the battery deteriorates over time, but the unit can compensate. Once a new ROM is flashed, it forgets the measurments that it has taken over time to compensate and then can no longer recover.

How long is your battery lasting with WM6?

I just realized that my battery life kinda sucks. I'm down to one day with moderate use.
Had a full charge about 7am, brightness is one from lowest setting, used Live search for about 10min at lunch and IE at the same time, listened to the radio for about an hour, made 3 phone calls for a total of about 25min worth of talk time - 2 of which were using BT (only had BT on when I was in the car). I'm home now and I'm at 33%.
Maybe it was the radio. Other than that, the phones been sitting for most of the day. How about others?
What Radio version are you using
Hi,
What is the Radio version you are using it depends mainly on them some versions it drain the battery I've tried a couple of days a new Radio version 1.54 it is a lot better and I found the battery can stay for about two days average use compaired to the previous Radio version, I have a TyTn HTC is going ok with this settings.

Latest Radio ROM for Artemis is 2.98.90 and should bring you some improvement with batterylife...
Thanx for the link. I missed that post. I guess I just run USPL first, then this? My last ROM upgrade had the USPL prog included in it. Is there a link for just the USPL or do I need to run that at all?
If your spl is 1.11.0000 you don't need to run it again.

Thanx but I just ran SPL anyway, and updated the radio. Everything went well.
After running USPL, I had the problem again with the slow scrolling that I posted about before. Everthing was just running really slow. Then, after I upgraded the radio, it was fast again. (I have no idea why this happens) THen I turned on the phone and TomTom (without Quick GPS) and got 3 to 4 sats in my house for the first time in like 1min. That was the fastest ever. Does this radio version improve GPS as well or is this just a coincidence? However, I'm just happy that I don't have to hard reset again. Will test the battery life tomorrow. Thanx.
BTW: Where do you look to see the SPL version on the phone?
Maybe a coincidence - spl on first splash screen
I haven't noticed any differences. My radio version is 2.98.90, I don't know if it was that to start with or it came with the B&B 4.2 upgrade. I get about 1.5 days with moderate to heavy use, and just about 2 days max.
how do you install this?
hi guys!
Same problem with Battery life on Artemis with WM6!
with WM5, i sure got 2-3 days. and now its just upto one day. By evening my battery is down to 15-30%.
I have tried draining the battery completely and then charging it all night, but this doesnt improve battery life either.
I am using Radio 2.98.90
Hello,
my radio version is 2.98.90 too, and at home, I haven't a really good GSM-receipt (I hope, you'll understand me, my English is terrible). That's the reason why my battery time is really short. Try to disable the GSM and look, if your runtime is much longer.

Hi Guys, my battery is running fine, around 3 days but if i enable battery status to the today screen, it starts to eat the battery like hell, any ideas ?

Looks like my battery life has improved a little. After 8hrs of medium use, I still had 69% batt life. Pretty good. But I also have to report two incidences where I could not answer a call or make a call- reset needed. Got a message saying that the signal may not be avail and I had a full signal?! This has never happened before this radio upgrade. Any reports of this from others?
Other than that, everything else seems fine. May try to reflash later on if I still have this problem, but if it still persists, I'll look for another radio. Not being able to answer calls is a real PIA in business if you know what I mean.
i just tried removing battery status from the today screen and my battery life is good again.... could this be a problem then?
so what is the verdict here? i had a mda compact 2 and the bateyr lasted 5-6 days of FULL use
i upgraded to mda compact 3 and stragight away put wm6 cooked roms on it - ive tried most of them on here including the official wm6 - all seem to only give me about a day batteyr life????
something cant be right here? after half a day im down to 47% odd
Phones should surely last 2/3 days? especially a Mda/Pda???
what is it that drains a battery? is it the programs running, installed ????
ive just installed wm5 again to see if its any better, could i have possibly burnt out my batteyr by cooking so many Roms on it??
someone help as this is driving me crazy!
Battery life is good. With GPS and 234Mhz 6hours.

I'm still testing but so far, after upgrading my radio to 2.98.90, I'm at 74% by the end of the day with moderate use. I'm trying to keep the same ROM and not hard reset for a while to see if it improves more (I like to drain the battery to the end and then recharge) . So, I'm at like 2 days with the new radio. This is sufficient for me since I keep a charger around anyway.
Battery life ist around 6-8 days!
Plain WM6 (from o2) firmware with BatteryStatus, Calendar+ on today screen. Bluetooth and WLAN off, some SMS a week, around 5-10 minutes telephone calls a week. Using calendar and contacts regularly some times a day. Using Tomeraider, iSilo, Mobipocket, TomTom/NoniGPSPlot, etc. some times a week. No other system utilities beside BatteryStatus installed!
Surfing over WLAN: battery is empty after 2-3 hours.
I have no problems
Regards,
Manuel
PS: Background light is faulty since last week: background light is completely off on setting 1+2, sometimes even on setting 3, and it flickers permanently. Xda Orbit goes back to o2 next week.
pending programs
Hi,
if you have a battery drain problem you should check your programs first. There are some which really cause high consumption in the background...
so anyone complaining should list his installed progs!

Batteries dying faster with WM6 HELP!

I'm running the AT&T Cingular version of WM6 on my i-Mate Jasjam.
When I was running WM5 I was getting up to 24 hours of battery power, but since I switched to WM6, my batteries only last for 7 hours tops.
I always leave my phone plugged in to a charger whenever i'm at home.
I'm in film school and my job is the run all our sets so i'm always calling crew members, actors, etc etc, but if my battery dies after 7 hours on a 15 hour shoot I don't know what to do.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Or should I switch back to WM5?
Try different radio combinations. One of them may be better for you
Try putting your phone back in EDGE mode. If you have a custom rom go into comm manager and see if you can EASILY toggle between 3G and EDGE. 3G service EATS battery life.
I can't find Band in the Phone settings, I've been trying to switch from 3G to EDGE or GPS for awhile now.
Currently i'm running the AT&T "Original" WM6 3.57.502.1 with radio ver. 1.48.00.00 found here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available%20Original%20Shipped%20WM6%20ROM%20Versions .
Would you recommend downloading 1.50.00.00 from here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms ?
Just press the comm manager button and press "3G" to desactivate (not all of them have this option).
Then it will uses EDGE instead of 3G.

I really like 1.48 for my area (memphis)...
As for showing the band tab on the phone settings page, there's a registry edit you need to do b/c att disables that option in their roms...
from the wiki:
Enable/Disable GSM/UMTS Band Selection
Cingular kindly disables anything useful about the network on the 8525. To enable the Band Selection Tab on your Phone settings page, set the following:
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:00000001
To disable, simply clear the value to 0:
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:00000000
here's the link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
Ok, changed the band. I also read somewhere that if I take out the battery, put it back in, charge it over night without turning the phone on, then it'll help with the problem.
But now i'm down to 5 1/2 hours of battery life.
Should switch back to WM5?
Cause WM6 doesn't seem to want to work with my device.
i must have tried nearly a dozen different roms om my hermes,and have found a huge variation in battery life,some only lasting 5-6 hours whilst others seem to last for upto a day and a half or slightly more.IMHO the rom has a much bigger influence on power drain than radio.its a matter of trial and error.
I switched back to my old ROM and radio ver (Cingular 2.15.502.3 w/ Radio 1.40.30.00)
They worked fine for me before, but now the battery is still only showing about 7-8 hours worth of life.
Really need help!
I downloaded SPB Pocket Plus and the battery indicator said I had 7 hr 46 mins at 100%
I tried switching the ROM again and it said the same thing.
I switched batteries with my Sister's phone (she has the same device, but with the original ROM that lasted longer for me) and it still said 7 hr 46 mins, but her phone lasts for 18-24 hours.
Should I bother getting a new battery? Or is it an internal hardware problem?
It's an iMate phone and i'm living in NY so I don't know who I could take it to for repairs.
I also tried draining the battery over night and completely charging it from 0% for half a day without turning on the phone and I got the same result.

HTC Universal, MBW-150 and smartWatchM

I use this great combination of software and hardware, but big problem is watch's short battery life.
I tried some Tomal's roms with radio 1.15.00 and 1.18.00, but battery life is still about 13 hours. I flashed old but good Jwrightcmps's WM5 1.90.96, but there is no possible to launch smartWatchM at all. I will try newest tmobile WM5 today. Does anybody know some good rom for this use?
I asked for advice in official smartWatchM thread, but nobody answered me. So I am trying it here...
Hm... nobody has Uni and BMW-150... So I will use this thread as notepad
My first experiences: (rom, radio, watch battery life)
tmobile 2.00.41 WWE, 1.17.00, under 1 day
Jwrightcmps WM5 1.90.96, 1.18.00, smartWatchM does not work at all
Tomal WM6.1 8.5, 1.18.00, under 1 day
Tomal WM6.1 8.5, 1.15.00, under 1 day
Hi Standa,
Sounds interesting. What exactly is a BWM-150, (I've never come across a smart-watch... what can it do?)
What are you trying to achieve? Perhaps if it's the watch battery life, is there any way to reduce an update with it - if continually on BT connection, can decrease battery, but then I understand it must continually have BT on so it can display caller name?
How does your watch get recharged? If I had a watch and it's battery run out before a couple of years or so, I'd be very unhappy... but what do you expect from this device?
Hi -Jonny-,
sorry, my mistake - it is MBW-150, not BMW-150 .
Here is the hardware:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/mbw-150executiveedition?undefined
and here is the software:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362218
A lot of people can use their watches for 3 - 6 days but I can use them for only 15 hours. So I am trying to figure out where the problem is. HTC Advantage users have solved this problem with the right roms and radios, so I am following their way .
I don't know how old is my watch, but it is max. 1 year, not more. So I expect longer battery life. I know that five years old device could have almost dead battery, but it is not my case and I still hope problem is caused by software part.

[Q] Strange battery problem

So this is the fastest way how I can introduce to you my problem - please open Attachments and see my battery history. My phone just back from the service repair. They told me that the battery has been replaced. Maybe it was big mistake that after I get my compact in hands I rooted him and restored the old ROM and now I'm worring that I just have broken next battery. Is that possible? or my phone wasn't repaired...?

Description of rom is only cz.Can't understand a thing.Charge it 12 h,if the battery drops like that,try stock.That is what I would do.
On the stock I have the same problem look at the effects of 12h battery charging...
Service menu - *#*#7378423#*#* then Service tests,then Battery Health Test.On 97 % mine shows 2164000
So it's not battery problem at all?
Not a battery problem.Motherboard problem...idk.
Ok thx for trynig to help
