Battery autonomy ?

Hi all,
I have been experiencing with different ROM'OS and radio versions, I am finally with Faman's 3.2 release and 1.46.00.11 for the radio. I read that the autonomy is around 200hours in GSM mode and about 180 in UMTS.
My question : Does anyone reach those numbers ? I mean, I have just activated direct push (via emoze) and since 8 AM I am already at 50% with only about 15mins of phone calling and 30min of mp3 listening plus something like 10 emails received and it's only 4:30 PM. At this rate, by tomorrow morning the battery will be empty, are you guys in the same situation ? Do we really need to charge the device every day when using direct push ? I beleive I have good cover in my office (4 bars + 3G) even though I moved quite alot in the building today, still, I don't think blackberrys need to be charged that often..
What do you think ?
Have a good day everyone !

Since I have been using (cooked) WM6, I have been unable to reach those numbers. I have an active 3G connection with HSDPA and my battery would have to be charged after 48 hrs. But, I'm using it for business puproses so it is my cradle most of the time. Anyway, using bepe's .76 ROM and 1.46.00.11 RADIO. Tried many other combinations, none utilizes the battery better than the orginal HTC WM5 rom/radio.

Let's just hope that HTC will at some point release a wm6 something for our P3600s then because that's really a killer :/

I would be interested to hear your experiences with MARY 1.2 and the same Radio. (1.46.00.11) I'm getting the best battery life (even better than WM5) with this combo. MARY 2.0 killed my battery - and I had problems with the battery with some of the latest bepe ROMs - bepe is a legend tho - think it's the core being used. Let me know.

Ok, so my battery basically lasted 14hours in active 3G mode. Pretty cool Do we know if it's because of the ROM os or more the radio ?

Flashing now, I will report after the weekend!

OK, already flashed to another ROM. Havinf problems with ActiveSync and my HSDPA. One thing is sure though: this ROM is very good for the battery!

I think he's talking about MARY V1.2 with radio 1.46.00.11. It's the best battery combo I've tried and a lightning quick ROM IMHO. I'm currently cooking myself a ROM from it - and will release if hellonasty is OK with that.

Please do because the battery use is really good, just having some software problems with 1.2. Hoping your release, or 2.02 will be better

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.

Radio version? My phone shows 02.67.90 This is from Mechle's 02 Prem ROM. I assumed this was the latest.

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!

Batery issues

Hello Fellow HTC users.
Im still new in this HTC business, but ive purchased my Htc p3600 no more than 6 months ago, and curently im am using
ROM Version : 6.2 EN from Kamba ( TY SO MUCH ITS AWESOME KAMBA)
Radio Version : 1.50.08.11
Well my problem here is that my batery only lasts one day and sometimes barely. And if i use the Tom Tom then i cant reach the end of the day with the same batery charge. I am always checking if i am any program is working in the background but no. Was wondering if is there any prog that will help me maitain my battery or anything that you guys could assist me with.
Or is this something that I will have to get used to? bateries from HTC dont last long?
Thanks alot for all the help.

TomTom will drain your battery very fast

You should install batterystatus
Depending on usage, my battery usually lasts more than 48h, but GPS is a drainer for batteries, and together with tomtom...
Anyway, you should install batterystatus and monitor the battery drain to see if there is any leak. I usually have around 70-80mA with no application launched, but with maximum brightness it goes up to 250mA.

To me Mary 3.3.5 SL is the best when it comes to battery,plus I don´t use HTC Home,HTC Launcher and stuff like that.
I guess those two plugins or apps have something to do,the nicer the rom looks the faster the battery drains and TomTom is a drainer like they say,so if you are using biotouch or some similar app it also make the battery consumption go higher.

I down grade from 1.50 to 1.46 resulting in longer battery life.

ROM, Radio and HardSPL that trippled my battery life...

Like many people here I had a real problem with the battery life. I use the standard 900mah battery and it used to last less then a day with light use or even only standby.
I changed around 10 different ROMs, all the Diamond radios I could find and also all the HardSPL's.
By far best battery life I get with the next combination:
ROM Shacks 3.10
Radio 1.09.25.23
HardSPL Olinex 1.93 Unsigned (developers edition)
With this combination I get a full day with brutal usage and around 3 days with normal usage.
Sorry if I made this post in the wrong place, I just see so many people with battery problems I thought this info could help a little.
Take care...

Well I have 2 out of 3 of this items on your listed and my battery consumption is crap.
So you are saying that maybe it's the roms fault...hmmm
I currently have Seatones Rom. Everything else for me is currently the same.

I've tried hundreds of combinations and the one I wrote gives me by far the best battery life... l just run the Powerguard battery consumption test, I get around 160mA with some normal usage like writing an SMS, around 450mA with 3G data transfer on and around 60mA on standby with background light on 2nd level.
Ah yes, I didn't do any registry tweaks, I only installed the PowerManagement CAB that you can find here on forums. it just does the standard registry tweaks automatically.

Same here, thank you for sharing.

Hi
Thanks for this info. I run the same combo as yourself. Good to hear my rom provides the best battery life as part of that combo. I only get one day but it get's alot of reflashing and I'm sure my battery is not good at all. My wife gets 3 days out of hers easily! No flashing, just fairly minimal use - about 8-10 calls per day and some texting.
I've been looking at this powermanagement.cab that you mention. I found it at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2470091&postcount=3
These are already set in my rom exactly as in the cab so you shouldn't need to install this cab. Hope this helps
Regards
Shaks

I don't want to be difficult, but you only have one out of 3 the same! - your ROM and radio are different

Question
Initially with 3.6B from Dutty was the best period. Meanwhile I have tested other rom. Returning to the 3.6b I have'nt the same values . It seems like it happened something strange. Why?

Even though everything is the same (i.e. Rom, Radio, etc.) other variables continue to change. Believe it or not but a slight change in location will impact the results because your dealing with Radio Signals which are always changing. Even the slight performance tweaks and configurations all play a role. This changes the result of how your battery behaves.

I'd like to flash Olinex 1.93 over 1.40 as well and give this combination a try. Now I know I can flash ROM's and (non SU) Radio's from my device. But can I use the same method of the renamed NBH file in the root of the Internal Storage to upgrade to Hard-SPL 1.93?

Can someone tell me what the difference between Olinex 1.93 over the 1.40??
I have 1.40 but if there is something better I install
Hope someone can help in my doubt Thanks

i also ran the same combo as you guys (except i still use 3.00 because its also good) and Radio 1.09.25.23, and as many ppl in the radio thread also experienced a bit more battery consumption in radio that the stock 1.00.25.05 which i used for months.
i'm gonna try v1.10.25.25 and tell ya what i find. cheers \o/

is it safe to make HardSPL from 1.40 to 1.93? is the metod same when i flashed to 1.40, I mean connect via active sycnh and thats that?

when I first bought my HTC Diamond from Rogers :
Version ROM : 1.93.632.7 FRE
Date ROM : 10/30/08
Version de la radio : 1.00.25.06
Version de protocole : 52.31.25.13H
WM6.1
the battery life was no more than 8 hours.
Now with this :
ROM : 1.93ONI
Date : 06/01/09
Radio : 1.00.25.06 (Original)
Protocole : 52.31.25.13U
EnergyROM Series 3.0 21728 || Build 60109 with WM6.5
After 13h and a couple of phone calls I have still 77% of battery life.
So, for me, I've made it, now I have what I want.
youuuuuuuuuuuupi !!!

Ok so; I understand how the Radio effects the battery life, and how the ROM can influence battery life. But how on earth does the bootloader version (HARD-SPL) effect battery life? Isn't it bacically forgotten about once the O/S has loaded?
Someone please answer this question, it's been bugging me and I can't find an answer anywhere I look.
BTW; I'm running radio 1.09.25.23 with 1.40 hard-spl on EnergyROM 3.0 (latest) I'm getting easily a day of heavy use out of it atm (lots of wifi/running intensive applications etc), I've turned 3G off because I hardly use it and am under the impression it'll use more battery life.

Don't forget to couple the radio with the accompanying rilphone.dll
I'm using the 1.14 series; works fine.
Quite good GPS fix times, good 3G signal, very good battery life, but tends to getting used up quite fast in GPS use, despite tweaks.

which is the diamond best radio for batery conserns

i wana know any good diamond radio which consumes less battery

1.13 is pretty good on battery and network man

I'm on 1.17 with ril 1.15 and my battery lasts a good 4-5 days, with constant 3G/HSDPA connection/ weather updates hourly and I use the internet a lot..
But then I have the official extended battery (1350 mAh).
Still lasted 2-3 days or so with the normal battery with the same ROM/Radio and RIL
Details of my ROM/Radio/Ril and HSPL and below in my signature

its not really 4-5 days :O my phone lasts MAX 1.5 days with 3G/HSDPA off :S
edit: Could you eventually provide links to your Radio & RILPhone?

Radio: diam.radio.1.17.25.09.7z
RIL: http://www.mediafire.com/?yxezunzjyml

radio is down (account suspended)
edit: downloaded it from another source: ****ed my diamond
Edit 2: got the one from "Diamond Lovers" rom thread, works fine - now we'll see how it improoves the battery

Do you use an extended battery or the normal battery?

original HTC Touch Diamond Extended Battery (1340MAh)
Havent had to recharge my phone for 5 days now - it used to last MAX 1.5 days so this is a huge improvement
I can try it with the original battery aswell

Looking for best radio for battery!
I know this is an old thread but if anyone is monitoring this discussion can you please provide links to the above files and explain how to install. I am comfortable changing the radio but I have no clue what the RIL is or how to install it. I am currently running unsigned 1.40 OliNex HSPL with this official ROM:
RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship
Any help will be highly appreciated! :good:
PS: @ OP - Have you tried the 1.40 (unsigned) HSPL by OliNex that I am running? How different is yours? Judging by the higher number should I be running 1.93 as well, is that also the unsigned version that enables installation of official and custom ROMs, what are the pros/cons of this HSPL? Thank you!
