Hi everybody,
I upgraded my device to the latest ROm but since then and after all programs installed I find that battery goes totally off overnight.
I left the device fully carged last night and this morning without using the phone or PDA battery was at 10%.
Could anybody advice about what's happening?
I all SPB software and Pocket Informant.
Thank you for your help,
durius
Have you set your pocket outlook to check periodically your emails?
No, because I have no simcard installed yet...so i cannot connect GPRS.
I believe this is due to the new RSU 1.09 ... I went back to 1.08
I don't have battery issues with Radio Version 1.09.00. I am using the Radio.nbf File created on 2/9/06 2:24pm. I believe there are 2 versions, the latest one which I first installed that came with the I-Mate upgrade also gave me problems.

Thanks cktlcmd
Could you give me details from where you extracted each of of the radio.nbf files?
I dont know if this is the same issue as I had with my IPQ hx4700
After a Rom uprade it wants to "profile" the battery and it use some process to Drain the battery so that it can determine a full charge from a Dead battery to work out the time left etc.
I had trouble with my ipaq for a week constantly charging it every hour and it still drained - eventually after i forgot to charge it went flat and after that charge it was 100% - I remember having battery issues at the beginning of Radio 1.08.00 Now everything is 100 and battery life is actually better
Try it before flashing back to an old version
I'm using i-mate upgrade like my sing show and nothig of this happend. I charged my batt last night full at 11:30 PM, and today at 7:43 PM have 60% of charge like ilaunch show me.
Have Fun

Sure mate!
I got the Radio Version 1.09.00 that I am using here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42784
If you extracted the Radio Version that came with the official I-Mate Upgrade. It has a different creation date, around 10 days after. I am not sure if this actually fixed the issues I was having before, but it disappeared when I replaced it with this version. So good luck.
Thanks cktlcmd,
I will try with this radio and let you all know what happens, otherwise must be a battery problem...
DOWNGRADING
Hi,
i have the same problem with battery, and i want to DOWNGRADE to 1.08 or to the older 1.09. Could anyone help me how could i downgrade? I tought it is possible to instla the older ROM with the older rom and MaUpgradeUt_noID but nothhing happened.I suppose there is another steps neccessary.

are you (the guys with the battery issue) using the device lock?
I have seen in the past that phone editions spend much more batteries when they are without a SIM card and GSM is not turned off. Maybe this is the problem of our friend that has opened this thread.
This problem can be even more serious with the JASJAR and its battery-hungry UMTS radio.

Ok, PC is fine, close any running programs. Hermes has stock WM5 with some programs added. Only reg tweaks are PTT and removed 3G animation at start.
Device syncs normally every day and both Work and Home.
When I follow all the directions, run the Updater - The PPC gets the Color Bars as the Updater is trying to read it....then AS (V4.5) disconnects and closes. (gone from taskbar) I can soft reset the device, reopen AS, they sync just fine. At this point I have the updater do the next, it pulls up the Current ROM info and says it will upgrade to the new one. I select next, and it starts.....and AS closes again. After a minute the upgrade app says it lost connection. (duh!)
Any ideas why?
I'm not a stranger to upgrading roms on PPC's, have several that have both been updated a number of times. No issues, though that several AS versions earlier.
I've given thought to Hard Reseting the device, but I'm wondering if its more AS's fault.
Any and all input much appreciated!
Thank You!

Are you following the directions at THIS GUIDE . What ROM are you trying to put on there? Did you CID unlock the device? Are you running Vista? Do you have .NET 2.0 or 3.0 version?
That should be enough questions to get us started.
Did you read my title? This is the stock ATT WM6 that came out yesterday. No need to unlock the phone, it is a 1 week old ATT 8525 with the stock ATT WM5 Rom on it.....
Windows XP SP2+ PC.
If it's the rom RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship maybe it had some problems because if you go to the official release site http://www.htcamerica.net/support/8525/software-downloads.html they are still showing the WM5 rom for download.
There may have been a problem with the release and they pulled it back for some reason. Just a thought and not much help I'm afraid.
Yes thats it. When it ID's my current Rom and what it will upgrade to, it is correct. (it shows it's 3.62 vs my current 2.xx) Many peeps have had no problem upgrading to it. (most find it a very good Rom from the varios sites I read)
And this page at HTC still has it up:

You just need to wait for a while AS shuts down that is normal be patient and it will start updating you will see a progress bar will take approx 10 min after that
@brorex he can wait till christmas next year, if the updater cant communicate with the device , because it has closed AS then it will never update.
@JETninja
try doing what i said to this guy here,

I thought that too, but after the color bar test when it want to set you up to actually install the ROM, the Upgrader whats you to make sure there is an active connection with AS. Well, there isn't. It shut down and the PPC is still showing the color bars. I can reset it, then re-sync to AS. (after having to re-launch AS from the Program Files - it no longer resides in the Tray when it shuts down during the process) I then get it going again, it attempts to start the ROM upgrade, AS quits again.....about a min later I get the Communication Error message....
I'm downloading a 2nd copy right now, will try it as soon as it completes...
*Edit...think I have an idea what I'm doing wrong, I have it connected and synced too early, the first part of the ROM updater is just a PC test, I'm thinking the PPC should not have been connected at that time. Re-trying it now.....
Try putting it in boot loader and upload...thats what i did when i updated my 8525...Very much like the new ROM...
Going to give it a shot here at work on this PC. If no go still, will try the above mentioned methods. PC at home kept getting communication errors...
i had the same problem
make the connection at AS then start the update process.... the 8525 will go into 3 bar mode and when the update gets to the upgrading rom screen... the installed rom wont show up.... hit upgrade... and then continue and it will work.... i was stuck there for a while too because if i waited for the istallation to load then made the as connection the right image would show up in the installer but then it would stop working after that.....
I just put this rom on my 8525 and it worked well for me. My 8525 is unlocked with supercid so I had to extract the OS and update using the methods described for working with SPL-140 Olipro with IPL-1.01 or the "How not to Brick thread".
That won't help you much as you don't want to do that mod to your New 8525 and void the warranty, but thought you might like to know the stock OS seems pretty stable at this point and I have had no problems yet.
Thanks everyone! It finally worked here on my Work PC. At home I could get to the Bootloader, but it would lose connection for some reason. Here I lost it the first time, but tried it again and it managed to stay connected and apply the update. Got it up and running, applied owner info, just now re-doing the AS relationship. (a good 500+ contacts! LOL! It'll take a little while as usual!)
Then it's back to all the tweaks I like so far...and some new ones I've held up on since I've been waiting for WM6.
Out of my 3 PDA's (2 ipaqs and this puppy) this one has certainly been the trickiest ROM update, but it seems to be more my device since most don't have this much trouble.
Thanks again!
So far- So good, but just one problem- BATTERY!!!
After I installed upgrade, my battery drains in few hours... I reset phone, I reloded upgrade- nothing helps! Warranty still in affect, but phone worked well and I'm positive- hardware is OK. What else can i do to fix this problem?
I have the same problem

I have a imported DIA100 phone, and trying it on the T-mobile network here in the states. everything was fine up until today when i upgraded my phone to the 1.93 series, now it randomly shuts off, and it cannot connect to the T-mobile network, keeps saying (searching). I don't know what's going on, I reflashed the device and it still does the same thing, infact it might even be worse now. Restarting the phone doesn't work, as it keeps restarting from the boot. Anyone have any idea what to do? I'm going back to 1.35.

i too have many problems with 1.93.456.2 WWE baserom. somehow, it just doesn't seem so stable ... not sure if many others are feeling the same for 1.93 roms. i guess 1.37.456.2 ME WWE is still the most stable at the moment...
if only we can have a review on all official rom consolidated in one thread.
Sprite?
Did you use Sprite to backup your previous rom and store it in 1.93xxx?
This could be the cause.

Yes i had same problems. imo the 1.93 isnt a stable rom(yet) so im back with 1.37.456.2 this one is just perfect,very stable,less memory leakage.
Well, the problem is still on going. I can't flash my phone anymore for some reason, even though I've tried both, unsigned and signed Hard-SPL, which both of them flash fine. However, the phone gives me error [276] update error. So not sure what exactly is going on here.
Also, no, didn't sprite backup, phone's just being retarded, mobilecityonline will repair it, but it will take almost 4-6weeks, I cannot wait that long. What else should i try?
Okay, nope not fixed... Flashed it with 1.37, connected to the network for a few seconds, dialed somebody and no ring or anything, but when i called my phone i could hear my own voice. So I guess i have to send it in for repair. Damn.

Could you please detail? I've flashed 1.93.xxx just in the day it appeared on the site and after flashing, I've restored the backup made with Sprite Backup to preserve the settings and so on. I wasn't worried about the contacts/calendar since I have them in Outlook, but I didn't want to start all over with settings, install programs and so. I've made the restore in "upgrade mode", restoring also the databases. The result was that I got a verry strange TF3D, displaying "Home" between the operator name and date, and strange behaviour. I've seen also that the animations were taken out so I've flashed back 1.37.xxx.3. Could be any problems generated by the restore operation? Should I use a different restore type (eventually not selecting "restore databases")?
I have had no problem with the new 1.93xx rom.
Touch FLO 3d is quicker (probably because the animation is disabled)..
and the battery life is about 20% better
Radio ROM Anyone
Sounds like the Radio...
What version is everyone on? The 1.93 ROM updates the Radio, have you tried downgrading to 03?

I don't know, but If i plug the diamond into my adapter, the network suddenly works and I can actually make calls and everything's fine and dandy, but just on the battery, I can't call anyone, and if I pull out the adapter when the phone gets a signal, the signal stays but again, can't call anyone because i can't hear anything.
It's an awkward problem. I'm not sure if it's my battery or something. So I'm getting another battery off ebay since they don't sell HTC Touch Diamonds in the U.S. yet.
I've been having random freezes with the 1.93.xxx

THe Problem you've encountered:
1. Random auto reboot
2. Random freeze
3. etc.
It's sounds familiar to me. Well it's maybe have to do with SPL just like the Kaisers do.Well, I said maybe... So, what we did to our Kaiser before is flashing the HardSPL which has the same version number as the ROM flashed. So, if you're using ROM 1.93 then the HardSPL should be flashed is Olinex HardSPL 1.93 or you can try one by one of the developed HardSPL existed in this forum. My saying is, go with HardSPL 1.93 and see what happen. If it's still no go then it must have to do with the ROM itself.
Just my 2cents.

So, you flashed the ROM and the device didn't switch on? Then you used mtty and everything went well, but now you don't know what to do? Try another ROM for your device. If your phone has USB at the top and bootloader version numbers at the bottom - you are in bootloader mode, ready to flash.

also please tell me somthing about RADIO i got 0.0.0 verion in phone what is the use of Radio
please explain little
Perhaps your battery has to be changed
Radio improves signal and also afects on battery, for Tomal ROM´s the most recommended are:
1.18
1.17
1.15
You can find them in the Wiki or in the fttp, or using search button

Radio is your GSM carrier signal picker and cannot be 0.0.0. Different Radio versions allow you to pick up signal better or worse, depending on many factors, such as tower proximity, location, obstructions etc. Higher Radio version number does not necessarily mean better, but in many cases there can be an improvement in reception. Different ROMs work better with particular Radio versions and the ROM creator will generally recommend the Radio to use with his ROM, based on testing. Sometimes you may find other version works better for you than others.
I suggest for you to try and flash your original ROM, the one that was on your device out of the box. The original ROM package comes with everything you need in 3 parts - OS, Radio and ext ROM. Once you have all 3 established and your device working properly, you can eliminate your device as being the culprit, which leaves a battery.
The problem you described might sound like a battery problem, not sure whether you described your Radio problem correctly, but if that's the case you can try flashing Radio only and see if it solves the problem. Although without any Radio (and custom ROMs come without Radio), I don't see how you could use your device as a phone at all.

Hi guys,
as per topic title, I'm experiencing a monstruous battery drain.
In the last few weeks I devoted a lot of time in understanding how to get more juice, with very good results.
I removed (and noticed developers) every power hungry app I had. I recalibrated my battery.
Suddenly, all of this became futile, because of this 100mA battery drain while phone is in standby, EVEN with everything (wifi, radio, gps, bluetooth, everything) off.
Like the phone itself takes 100mA to just stay in standby.
Now, this is way, way higher than "healthy" (5-8mA from users experience here on xda), and means 5-6% battery lost every 30 minutes. Doing NOTHING.
What I did:
I'm using OpenDesire since 4.0.23 , upgrading to every stable version. Today I'm at 4.0.32
Also, I upgraded the radio to latest version, 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14
and I noticed very good improvements.
Then, I flashed the RIL.
And the battery drain began.
Today, no matter what radio I flash, which revision of OD I revert back... Nothing seems to change, the battery drain stays.
I tried to:
- full total wipe/factory reset, always. Only app installed is CurrentWidget, to measure draining ; NO settings restored with Titanium Backup
- EVERY radio since 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04 ; flashed by Clockwork Recovery, phone only ; every time I tried the latest radio, I both tried without and with the suggested RIL
- OpenDesire from 4.0.23 to 4.0.32 ; Tried 4.0.23 and 4.0.28 with EVERY radio ; other OD releases tried only with stock radio (32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2) and latest
- Umounted sdcard; reformatted sdcard; different sdcard; no sdcard at all
- restore my nandroid backup, made before all of this, which brings me back to my stock sense days... but with the hipotethic radio mess, and the same battery drain issue.
I don't really know what else to test.
I can't just get rid of this horrible 100mA battery drain.
Anyone has hints, suggestions, solutions ?
As of now, my Desire is ... barely a phone.
Thanks
Flash a RUU and start from fresh?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
Uhm... if that's the full package, with rom and radio, may be worth the try.
I hope it's doable without Windows. Only linux here...
Oh, great... I'm having issue "waiting for bootloader".
I launch RUU
phone reboots
stops on HTC screen
RUU on PC gives error 171.
Edit:
Appearently, it's very important that the phone is recognized by Windows as "MY HTC" in system resources.
So, I did:
- install HTC Sync. Reboot. Plugged in the phone. This gets installed the necessary drivers.
- DISABLED WINDOWS 7 AUTOMATIC DRIVERS SEARCH. I think this is a windows update thing, don't really remember... I'm a linux guy ^_^
- Reboot phone in bootloader (pressing power while keeping pressing VOL- ) ; then, Windows will come up with an unrecognized device called "Android 1.0"
- Manually installed drivers under c:/programs/HTC Sync/HTC Drivers.
- Started RUU
- phone rebooted. Bad windows sound told me drivers dailed. So I went there... and the "HTC bootloader" driver appeared. Then I manually installed "MY HTC" to that device... and RUU finally started !
Also, I *HAD* to start RUU from normally booted phone. Otherwise, it failed the "minimum 30% charge" check.

Read here and there, solution seems
unplug & replug phone leaving as is
(note - unplugging the phone exposes the white bootloader screen, wuth RUU option only ; replugging pops up again HTC screen)
restart RUU
but isn't working:
RUU on PC can't read the phone, and gives error 170.

But here I'm talking about the barebone power usage, no cpu spikes, no software installed.
No phone should dry that amount of power by being on total unusage.
SetCPU is awesome, but doesn't help here.
Also trying safe mode (pwr on while pressing menu)
...
7% / 60 minutes.
This means 3-4% / 30 minutes, or 50-60mA / 30 minutes.
Oh, I had WiFi on.
Trying with WiFi off now...
Well that's some crazy battery use mate.
I have currently installed:
* OD version .32
* Radio .30_2
I have installed other ROMs before for testing, and I have tested all the radios newer than the 30_2 one. All bar the very latest one 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14, as I have no need for it.
I have Current Widget set to update every 1 min, and not create a log or text file when I test my use.
With the screen off for 1 min, and then turned on, Current Widget shows either 4mA or 5mA, which is my standby power consumption!
After trying what you have with the RUU I don't know what else to suggest, but wish you luck.
#Edit# Since taking the phone off charge at 8am, I have lost 6% of battery. But so far today I have only sent one message.

I have installed other ROMs before for testing, and I have tested all the radios newer than the 30_2 one. All bar the very latest one 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14, as I have no need for it.
I have Current Widget set to update every 1 min, and not create a log or text file when I test my use.
With the screen off for 1 min, and then turned on, Current Widget shows either 4mA or 5mA, which is my standby power consumption!
After trying what you have with the RUU I don't know what else to suggest, but wish you luck.

Thanks mate.
Question: have you ever DOWNGRADED a radio ?
If so, did you take any particular precaution ?
Also,
Just to be sure I tried everything possible, before sending my device to repair (risking many days without it, or even they discover my rooting here and there...)
may I ask you HOW do you flash the radio ?
My procedure:
- basic: I rooted via unrevoked 3.21 - all right with root permissions and got ClockWork recovery installed and working
- I (re)boot in Clockwork
- I go to Install zip from sdcard option
- I choose the radio zip file, all downloaded from the xda thread
- I apply and confirm the radio (file name is NOT update.zip ... is this an issue ?)
- phone starts to work. A progress bar apperars, fills only by 1/10th, 1-2 seconds, then suddenly process is complete and asks to reboot from menu. So I press back, and reboot.
- Phone don't reboot. It just sits 15-20 seconds saying "flashing radio" or something, but showing no progress bar. Then phone reboots. Almost immediately, reboots again
- Phone reboots back to os usable state. radio version is changed in system infos.
If I made something wrong, or something is missing or wrong in my procedure, maybe I can still solve all of this
chareos12, as you probably know by now: I got the exact same problem.
Updating/replacing radio roms/normal roms/RIL/RUU etc has nog helped me thus far.
I have one question however, what program do you use to monitor mA usage/hour?
(Nvm, found it, Current Widget, duh.... Mine is at 87mA at the moment....)
Secondly, I will follow this topic closely and help you wherever I can.... Let's fix this!

I think I always downgraded when trying the new batch of radios But really, yes I have changed version number up and down, and the one I found the best performer was the radio 30_2. But that may only be for me, even though a lot of other users report that it is also good. I did find much higer battery use on the 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 radio, but after returning to 30_2 all was well again.
I would say the way you are doing it would be fine. And no it does not need to be called update.zip. I'm busy right now working, but will check back later if I think of anything extra. ;P
Exactly, CurrentWidget. That also reports the same mA variations as dmesg, so I take as trustable.
Yeah, let's hope it's fixable !
I fear sooo much repairing centers...
I'm no expert but it should be -2mA if in standby with everything off (including the display) and >80mA with display on. >30mA ish drawn is not possible with all hardware off/idle except by the display. That's unless you have the "Android System" bug I had where it consumes 10-30% CPU just resting.
What current discharge reading do you obtain with same everything except display on (black background)?

Consider that right now I'm on the stock Sense...
disabling everything (any sync/background data), wifi off and then airplane mode on, sensor off, gps off, led notifications disabled, display brightness manually on the exact 50%, black background, ONLY widget across the 7 pages is CurrentWidget - which is also the only installed app... + Estrongs file manager ...
175-185mA.
Which is
your normal 80mA + mine sick 100mA ...
as I said before, it is like the bare phone drains 100mA battery for just staying barely alive.
oh,
12 minutes uptime
Android System is accounted for 17 seconds (4636 menu)
but then, going in settings battery infos, I read
CPU total 49s
CPU foregroung 20s
Android system - usage 70%
Display - 22%
weird...
IF it is the bug you are talking about, how could it survive trough 4 OpenDesire releases and a jump back to RUU ?
The Sense ROM you have is totally default with nothing added except CurrentWidget?
You need to go barebones to figure out what is happening here. The 80-115mA baseline is from many users at 0% brightness on a black background. You need to also log your CPU usage with something like OSMonitor, System Panel or Show CPU Usage to see if Sys, Usr or IO are experiencing abnormal load. In apps like OSMonitor, see the debug errors it is showing you under Messages.
On some ROMs it has been my experience that the cell network, accelerometer and/or touchscreen goes haywire causing large battery drain in idle or use. Consistent network locations and network provider search was a key problem. That made me lose 5-10 hours from my usual battery life. There was no way that I could fix it except changing ROMs and starting from scratch. I reverted back to a clean HTC 2.2 ever since with no such oddities.

Admittedly, the existence of it after the change to stock RUU also had me confused. Providing you did complete wipes, that should have wiped out any soft bugs.
