Hello,
I´ve got an I900 Omnia.
Is there a prog which closes applications like a GPS navi for instance automatically at a certain percentage before the battery is completly empty, so that it won´t even turn on again.
The notification that comes up by wm6 appears to late and doesn´t close all apps.
I haven´t found anything but battery monitors although in my opinion an app like this is essentially, because it is extremly frustrating when your on the way and the phone simply turns off because you had forgotten to close a prog that drains the battery.
greetings

Upgraded from Nav3 to 5 which is working great except that the PDA will not power off automatically with Nav5 running. Also even if I manually switch the PDA off the battery consumption is very high (runs flat overnight). I'm not using bluetooth or WLAN and they are definately off. I don't have any other app's running.
Anyone else have this problem or suggest a workaround?
If I Stop the Nav5 application then power functions as normal but being forgettful it's hard to remember to do this every time!
Of course Tomtom support have been as useless as ever!!
It maybe dumb to suggest, but....
...do you 'Exit Application' when you've finished using TTN5?
If you don't, it will keep polling the Serial Port for your GPS reciever, and thus the handset won't fully 'stand-by' as serial activity will drain power.
I use TTN5, and as long as I exit, I have still got around 2 days out of a battery, with 'careful' usage.
No offence intended at all in this post - just perhaps highlighting the obvious!

You are correct that exiting (ie Stopping) the application resolves the battery drain but I was using TTN3 previously with a serial receiver and that happily shut down when the PDA was off and did not need stopping.
Also with TTN5 running it stops the PDA switching off automatically, I have to switch off with the power switch.
I have an XDA II and M2000. i have the battery drain problem on both. i exit the app like i am supposed to, but when i start the device in the morning it has completely run flat! in the task manager there is nothing running when i put the device in standby...
any further thoughts?
i am using tomtom v5.21 and the latest roms.
Maybe do a scriptlike "shotdown all" before it goes into it's nightsleep
But i don't see a problem in shutting down TTN5 if you don't use it...
I don't even see a problem in switching off the Radio if i'm not listening etc. No pun intended, but if a programm keeps running it's pretty likely it drains the battery. You're just lucky if it doen't...
Hi, I know that other threads have touched the problem but I wasn't lucky to find a solution: after approx. five days of Orbit bepe's WM6 usage suddenly the battery status indicator became stuck with 100%. I use BatteryStatus but for example SPB Plus has the same issue.
Any solution please?
Same problem here, PDAVIET ROM FOR HTC ARTEMIS..
Hmmm, it's really strange: it seems that overnight the battery status indicator came back to normal?! I have found that others has reported in other threads the same: "suddenly" the behavior was correct. If not, the battery status indicator is long time at 100%, then suddenly drops to e.g. 25% and then battery is quickly without power.
In fact, not so big pain (again, I am so happy with bepe's WM6, thanks a lot), only you may not be sure sometimes about your real battery status. Hard reset is reported to solve the issue...
same problem on a LG MS25 (brazilian KS20)
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 everyone,
I bought my new Desire two days ago, and im noticing a really fast battery drain.
I had a Hero before, and although it had a smaller battery, i would charge it every two days.
When i check tha battery usage, i can see big percentages in cell standby, phone idle and android system. (Its where the percentages should be really low imo..) Things like display, bluetooth etc that were supposed to drain more my phone's battery have much lower percentages..
Maybe all this comes from the snapdragon cpu??
I also have 3g off, always on mobile switched off and brigthness to a really low level (although i think amoled displays dont drain the battery that much)
My battery will last one day the MOST..
I know that the new battery has to be charged a few times before it has its full potential, but i think that somehow battery is getting drained..any tips???
Thanks,
T.
I to have this same issue if anyone has any ideas on this would be great

You just need to relax
My Desire couldn't get through even one day of usage when I first got it. Several things contributed to this:
1. The battery is not fully conditioned
2. The device is new so I want to play with it all the time. I'd turn it on randomly for no reason whatsoever.
3. I use several widgets that requires updating just because of the novelty (ie, Friendstream, News, Twitter, Stocks, Weather)
Now, I go through about 60-70% charge per day which is fine by me. The only things that have changed is this:
1. The battery has gone though several recharge cycles
2. I only turn on my device when I really want to do something on it.
3. I no longer keep many of the widgets that requires updating and for those that I do keep, I make it update less often.
Eg, Updating your weather every hour is not necessary. Every 3 or 6 hours makes more sense.
Eg. Rather than having your Twitter or Friendstream widget on your homescreen, why not just have a shortcut that goes directly to the application and then set it to sync on launch? It's better than having your widget update when you're not even looking.
Also get an app like battery indicator to give you a numeric readout of your battery life left. My android battery indicator was in the red yesterday and complaining I had to recharge, but battery indicator said I had 12% left and I got 30mins more constant music playing out of it before I got to work and it was still on 5%.
when the battery is running low - you get a button to show battery usage stats.. can you get these through some of the widgets or a comparable app from the market?
almost every update is set to to once a day, or every six or eight hours...so i dont think that the updates drain the battery that much..
its just weird that the most battery usage comes from call standby, phone idle, or android system..
mine was the same, i found its due to sense & all the background updates. currently running helix2 homescreen & now I only go thru abt 50% battery each day & that includes 2 hrs of music each morning.

alright i know this seems stupid but remove all your task killers, i got rid of mine this morning and my battery has been fine normally by now i would have plugged my phone in for a juice up, but not today i had bluetooth on by accident all morning and by the end of the morning it was still at 70% yes i know it sounds stupid but it actually helps
There many interesting suggestions posted here and like most i've been absolutely hammering the battery on my handset simply because its a new and highly entertaining/useful device.
Here's some of my findings...
The battery/app usage screen can be quickly accessed by pressing the menu button on the home screen, selecting settings and "about phone". It helped me nail down some of apps causing excessive drain.
Much like the iphone and any other high powered smart phone, high screen brightness, wireless LAN, bluetooth, 3G and the GPS receiver all take its toll on the battery. One of the biggest drainers is the GPS receiver so use it sparingly, I initially had it on permanently for some of the maps functions but the battery was lasting about half a day! Sadly i've noticed the radio is also a bit of drainer, which is a shame because it makes a nice alternative to MP3 playback.
Data updates and notifications again much like the iPhone have a surprising impact on battery life so set them to manual or long intervals.
In summary, learn as quickly as possible to get the most out of your smart phone by balancing out the hardware and software options.
As a sidenote, I was previously an iPhone fan but this handset has really changed my opinion of how a smartphone should really be. The combination of excellent hardware, an OS thats clearly designed from the ground up for mobile use and an ever growing (open) software base, will in the long term win over Apple's over analy retentive ethos! Top marks also to HTC for their sense UI and application suite, it works on top of Android almost as if it was always part of the OS itself and I just love the integration of social networking features....leaves the iPhone in the dust!
I have noticed that Turning off the Data Connection helps a lot.
Last night I turned data off, before I plugged my phone in for charging. In the morning the battery was showing MAX power. Where normally in the morning would be 97%, because charging stops once the battery is full.
I am still experimenting with all the Apps & Widgets that turn data access ON/OFF, but my conclusions so far, just get a simple widget from the market, and keep data connection off, until you need it.
There is an app that turns data connection off once the screen goes off, but if you download something or wait for something to load and the screen goes off, data will also be switched off which is not what you need.
Yesterdag I changed my screen protector on my TP-2. Because I didn't want my phone to go off during replacement, I switched it off and removed the battery.
When I restarted my phone, everything worked a lot faster than before. Internet performance was faster and I had GPS connection in a matter of seconds (indoors near a window). I had noticed that my phone had become slower in the past weeks. Soft resets had no effect.
I have my phone switched on 24/7, but now I get the impression that it's not a bad thing to switch it off for about 5 minutes every now and then.
Has anyone experienced the same behavour? (I use a Touch Pro 2, with a T-Mobiel ROM in the Netherlands).
Thanks for your replies.
Regards,
Rob.
nope, 'cause I know that you have "hidden" processes running in the background and by turning off the phone, you're just resetting everything so that there are no new applications running in the bg.
a program called 'arkswitch' allows you to close programs and free space on your tp2 without necessarily needing to reset it.
I did some soft resets, after I noticed my phone was getting slower. That had no effect. Only after a longer period of complete shutdown, the performance was back to normal. So other background apps couldn't have caused it.
But I'll see what I can find with 'arkswitch'
[Solved] I think
I use S2U2 to lock my phone. I had set the option 'full screen battery' to 'charging'. After I disabled this option and a soft reset, my GPS was up and running in a matter of seconds (even indoors). For some reason, this setting in S2U2 affects GPS detection and performance of my phone.
Perhaps someting to look into for the develloper.
So it looks like my problem is solved.
