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.
hi
i have no prolem with my p3300 until 4 days ago!!! suddenly my device use 70% of battry in 1 day! i try soft reset, but not solved! also cpu goes to 36santi grad! but no process in task manager.also i try airscanner antivirus! and no virus ...
i use artemis tuch 3
please help me
Hi,
I am having similar problems since I installed Black and Blue 4.3.
Phone appears to discharge twice as fast. However, sometimes a soft reset seems to increase the battery again!!
I am going to try a hard reset to see if that fixes it. I have also ordered a new battery.
Anybody else had this and more importantly did you find a solution.
Regards
same here on orbit.all started 1 week ago.the phone is 8 months old.I can't believe the battery is gone so fast.
same here
same here battery life is crap
even with obly a few calls
whats up? is it the rom?
Okay,
A number of us with the same problem.
Can you all confirm what model you have and what ROM you are running. Also any new apps you have installed at the start of the battery drain. I will kick off
T-Mobile MDA Compact UK model.
Tom Condon's Black and Blue 4.3 ROM.
Only new software is AC S2U2 latest version.
Regards
htc p3300
artemis touch 3.0
no new software
bluetooth and wi-fi is off
no program running in task manager
but when i put my device near headset,i can hear some sound like TEGH TEGH!!!! every 1~3 sec.
i know it will solve by install new rom,but i want to find main problem. today i turn on then turn off my all units(bluetooth,wi-fi,camera ...) i must stay and see what will happend
Yeah thats the reason why i sell my Artemis, battery life is just crap. I call allot for work and use my phone allot, my battery is good for just one day . So byebye artemis and welcome HTC Touch .
I had these problems to..
Who I fixed it: I flashed original t-mobile ROM. Finished the install EXT-rom..
Did a hard reset, 2 soft buttons + reset, then green ring button..
Installed the USPL then HTC WM6 ROM, before ext-rom installation a reset. Then did a radio rom update, to latest version.
I can go up to 3 days without needing to recharge with GPRS @ 30 minutes sync..
Hello,same horrible problem.After 4-5 days the upgrade to B&B 4.1 with flo3the power of battery go down very very fast and a working day is impossible.When i bought the Artemis the first thing thats wondering me was the working life, but now...
I kill all task in background,set to maximum power saving, without effect.
Don't want to think that the best solution is to come back at wm6 standard.
P3300
WM6 5.2.1620
B&B 4.1
Flo3
SDHC support with 4GB card
DualSim 15th generation
I recently read a thread - either here or at ppc-welt.de - where some people found out that the gsm unit consumes a lot more power when you have a cooked ROM. When they put their Artemis next to some speakers the got that strange buzzing noise that you usually get when someone calls or you receive a message.
That sound in the speakers was there a lot more often than usually, when they switched back to the official ROMs the problem disappered. If I can find it again I will post a link. I haven't had any problems with my battery yet using Touch 2.1 WWE, only after a fresh upgrade pdas seem to consume a lot more power for a few days and get back to normal then.

what a pity because installing betterystatus (or configuring it properly if you had it already) would probably solve all that problems.
most (if not ALL) roms come with batterystatus... and sometimes it seems to misconfigure itself and overclock your CPU very much, which ofc leads to fast battery discharge. configure batterystatus to 201mhz and problem solved (or even lower if you dont need uber speed mobile, but loads of battery)
my p3300 battery lasts 2-3 days, doing some calls, using bluetooth for sync, listening to some mp3 while in the underground and using tomtom to find a street 15 minutes. nearly 4 days if totally on standby
Hi,
I have reinstalled my phone using the T-Mobile ROM.
I will let you know if that sorts the battery problems.
Regards
I had this problem after installing the htc official rom. I installed back the touch rom from the forum and everything is ok now. Tha battery last me again 4 days with mixed regular use.
Hi,
Tried the T-Mobile ROM and whilst under general use the battery drain is slightly reduced as soon as I ran Tom Tom it dropped by about 30% in 20 minutes. When I first got the device I could run Tom Tom for about 4hours before the battery died.
I have ordered a new battery so will see how that goes.
It is a bit frustrating not being able to pinpoint the problem.
Regards
my mobile service provider found problem with their GPRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just install this software and disable GPRS
just 23% battery used in 20hour!
but i dont have any program that automaticly connect to internet! and also always i keep my quickGPS up to date by active sync ....
please test this and DISABLE your GPRS and see what happend!! is it our problem or another ... ?
Hi,
Disabling your GPRS may fix the problem but it should not affect the battery this way.
I have just put in a new battery and it is charging just now.
Will update how the battery drain is with the new battery.
Regards
Hi,
Did a quick test running Tom Tom and battery usage is back to normal with the new battery fitted. Obviously the old battery was on the way out.

mine is over a year old now... it lasts about a day, mainly caus i spend all day on t'internet using GPRS
cant say i've noticed the battery get worse since i bought it.
who know how much temperature affect on battry life ?
it seems when i put my device in a hot place,3.5 day working decrease to just 2 day!
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....

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337
and
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=AutoRun
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
Cheers,
Beasty
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...
thanks for all your help... im currently learning about my TP2 while learning how to rebuild my clutch on my Ninja...lol...

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.

LOLLOLOLOL wow... 180!!

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!!
I have updated my tp2 with the official dutch 6.5 rom.
But my battery is eating in a day !! with use.
and no I have no push internet ,wheater or stocks updates automaticly on !!
While with winmobile 6.1 2 days battery time with verry often internet use !
Sometimes its fully loaded en after 1 night ( 8 hours the phone is completely empty on standby !!! en the device is turned off because the battery is completely empty.
How can a phone eating the battery on standby ? doing nothing
sometimes when I locked the phone I see for 1 second a red underlined box but
its gone before I can read the message.
The redunderlined box seems to be identical to the box : cant get "connection" wich you can get when the phone has not a connection.
Please help !
6.5 has a better internet experience.
but the the wheater or stocks tab update sometimes get out of connection even the internet has sometime this problem.
The 6.5 sometimes freezes for 3-4 seconds when locking the phone.
But Overal I must say I want to keep the 6.5 I like it !!
NOW ONLY SOLVING THE BATTERY EATING !!
Has someone the solution or same problems ?
same problem here...
I might have an Idea about the problem
Before the TP II I had the Tytn II. I've updated that phone with manila, and that also drownes my battery. A while later I updated my RADIO, to an older version, and the problems were gone.
So my guess is here:
The standard Radio with the dutch TP2 WM6.1 ROM is not suitable for WM6.5 somehow it drowns the battery very fast.
question is: where to find a (good) ROM?

second question:
I've opened another topic with the same question. Please concentrate all reply's to 1 topic.
please close my topic with the same question.

hi one thing to do flash a custom rom sergio cell pro 5.5 rom is good for battery speed stable or any of the ohter roms ngrz fusion shadowline ark try a few custom roms out and see what you like stock rom sucks remember to use hard spl and follow the steps theres a styki thread in rom section how to do this
grtz weesje
Yes ok but I do not want to use hardspell because I lose the garanty from my new phone.
besides that.
HTC is delivering an update for their own product. Don't they have an obligation to make sure that even the battery stays okay?
I don't want custom roms (though I appreciate the work done on Cust.Roms by the XDA users!) because of my guaranty!
but 12 hours with 1 battery is also NOT an option!
Don't know yet if my battery is suffering under WinMo 6.5, but what I do know is that 6.5 uses a lot more RAM than 6.1. You've already disabled pushinternet and here is what youi can do to release even more RAM:
" Trying to relase even more RAM, my search ended at pocketnow.com with an article regarding your cab and they also suggested to perform another registry tweak (via PPCGeeks) to release even more memory. The suggested reg tweak is: “go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\ResProxy” using a registry editor and change “ShareMemSize” to 0" (on my TP2 it says 391891).
After a soft reste my TP2 starts with 41% of RAM usage instead of 55%. That should save battery life.

Can i have the s/n of someone who has a WWE English phone?
I have a dutch version also..
But i dont want the phone in Dutch..
want to keep it english..
Thnx..
p.s. maybe also the solution to the battery drain?

Have you done a hard reset? My Tilt 2 will last almost 2 days in standby with my normal set of programs running, S2U2, cellid (uploads CID every N minutes if changed), aebattery, using Pocket Plus for today screen with Pocket Weather running inside it, etc.
If I enable FlexMail with 2 online IMAP mailboxes and 6 periodically synced boxes, it drops down to 19 hours or so.
Your situation is not normal.
hard reset who knows the buttons I must press ?
volume up - volume down en power button ?
something like that ?
there is another possibility to perform a hard reset (only works as long as you can access your phone):
go to settings - system - (and because your have a Dutch ROM) - go to the item "opslag wissen" (erase everything). This returns the phone to the factory settings, e.g hard reset. It will ask you to enter the password to perform that action: this is 1234.
Some of my battery data for you to compare with your own TP2:
I'm running stock WinMo 6.5.
battery data:
standby time: 22,5 hours
talking time: 3 mins
device usage: 2 hours
remaining battery: 72%
RAM usage: 43%
Hard reset did the job.
pressing green-red-power button and read the message.
pres only volume up and device resetting.
after that I had 30 hours batt life en stil 2 stripe on batt indicator
Oh backup your device before hard resetting !!
maybe I was to fast reacting before ...
I've recharged my battery again. Now, after 30 hours and 31 minutes, I still have 51% battery life left. (with 20% drowning last 3 hours...)
so there's hope!

No SPB here, but Settings -> System is where I looked, perhaps not in my ROM. No biggie.
hello,
i used original WM6.0 ROM until 2 weeks ago. my battery kept 3 days back then (only 2G, no WLAN, no 3G).
now i upgraded to the actual 6.5.x ROMs (23xxx and 28xxx quePPC and TAI).
the battery drains extremely.
i recharged 100% - left the phone unused for 7h - and have only 80% left. That's way to much - for a unused phone.
My question is:
- what ROM can you recommend, that saves battery life almost as good as the original 6.0 ?
- i still have the original 6.0 ROM Upgrade-Setup-Exe.
Wow can i downgrade to original ROM - only the WM, i want to keep
the installed HardSPL - and want to keep the installed RadioRom.
My technical data:
- herm100
- radio 1.47.00.00 ( i never used another one!)
- all "DisablePowerManagement"-Registry Settings are = 0
- Beam is off
- background light is lowest level
- 3G is off
Adjust your background lighting. Take it from full brightness to about half and your battery life will increase alot. Also adjust how long before the screen turns itself off. This helps a lot also. All this can be done in settings.
I recomend you... WM6.0 or feed back your questions on the right thread please Three days? WOW i always need to recharge my hermes everyday and i tho it was normal... jijijiji
Yes you can downgrade to WM6.0 again and the Hardspl remains
LOL! I charge my phone nightly also. I never even got 3 days of battery on my wizard. Heck my wife doesn't get 3 days on her sidekick!
@queppc: what exactly do i have to do to flash back to original rom - to keep hardspl (i have the original setup package) .
i need to change Romupdateutility.exe somehow - or take of the bootloader of the setup-package - don't i ?
@addicus/all: yes, 3 days is possible. and about the wizard. my wife has a wizard. she charged it last monday - then yesterday (friday).
that's even 4 days! - but i have to admit, she hardly uses it. only once a day email check (via WLAN), 1-2 SMS - that's it.
(by the way: i already turned my backlight to lowest level)
ok - I use my phone constantly - phone calls, internet browsing, texting, picture viewing. I'm a freaking junkie. I get a day out of mine (with extended battery) and make sure I charge while driving because bluetooth headset and speaking drain the battery a lot!
Not to mention using Tomtom......
hello,
i didn't downgrade to 6.0 yet (since i still don't know what's exactyl to do - to downgrade, but keep hardspl?)
but it looks like my problem is gone:
all i changed is
- i reformated my SDHC card (i assume this is not the reason)
- i changed my band settings to GSM / GSM 900+1800 + UMTS 2100
-> before i only switched of 3g with the wireless manager - i thought it's the same, but maybe not.
both changes does not really sound like the solution to my battery problem - but it is.
now i have good battery life again! ok, my PDA has never 100%, after taking it of the charger it immediately goes to 97%. then in the beginning it drains a litte faster - it does not take long to around 86% or even 81%.
But then the battery indicator decreases very, very slow.
maybe that battery-indicator with single 1% steps is not that accurate (?)
now my hermes battery drain is ok again. it rests for more than 2 days - depends on usage of course.
i assume if i don't use it it rests for 3 days (i never had the chance to not use it for 3 days ;-)
AFTER THIS - i also did another update. i use TAI V4 now (28205 build). battery life is still ok.
I recharge my phone every night and it is enough for using one day, BUT if I am listening audio book via Bluetooth the battery is empty in two - three hours!
Most of wm6.5 roms have the infrared beam automatically turned on. It drains battery! If it doesn't appear on comm. manager you have to do this:
Open "Advanced Config", then click Menu -> More Settings -> Comm Manager. There select Beam. If you want to choose among more than 6 comm you have to choose on the top Button style: Default
Then soft reset
When turned on again, go to connections and check if Beam is turned on or off.

Great information right there. Also to the OP - if you want a WM 6.0 rom and keep HardSpl - just flash the rom. That's what you're doing when you flash the base AT&T rom before flashing a custom rom anyways. If I were you I'd go no lower than 6.1 though. In fact, you may want to try one of CRC's roms as they are very stable.
