get a different phone?
Are you saying your battery is dead 1 day after continuously having this program activated? If so, I'm amazed the battery lasted that long! How old is your device and battery? Does the battery charge o.k. when it's plugged to a charger?
Hi Hotdog,
Thanks for your reply.
My device is 1 year old and the battery drains even when the phone is inactive(battery charges just fine).
Before installing NBD, the battery lasted like 3 days (not really an active user of the phone) and now only 1 day.
Am i the only person experiencing this issue around the forums??
Device info:
ROM version 6.6.6.666 WWE
ROM date 8/23/07
RADIO version 02.19.11
Protocol version 4.1.1309
MDA Vario T-mobile AKU2 model.
Thx.

Ive seen many people with this problem. all I can suggest to you is, lower rom numbers on WM6 use up the battery faster. I dont know why that is but that is the trend.
Im not suggesting you go out there and get 2.69 radio rom. the higher you go the more unstable the rom is. all Im saying is, it might be the radio rom mixed with WM6. try a reflash back to wm5 and see if battery is back to 3 days.
One other thing you can try is drain the battery completely, recharge it fully, drain it a second time and recharge it fully again. sometimes when you flash the battery memory gets messed up, it's happened to me once.

Thanks for the reply elmetal!
That brings me to my second question,
Is there a Radio ROM out there for my T-mobile that is stable and runs smooth under NBD 8.0?
What comes after RADIO version 02.19.11? 2.69 radio rom?
I did actually flash back to the original T-mobile NL ROM (latest version)
And there the battery is functioning as expected.
(you can really tell, in the afternoon, the battery is almost at 50% with NBD)
Thank you so much for your help! really appreciated.

hmm.. I never focus much on tmobile users with radio problems, more cingular users. some say the 2.47 works, some say the 2.69 is flawless, I personally use the cingular 2.25.11. it's the stock cingular rom and it works fine.
Im gonna give the forum a good look for tmobile radio rom threads and ill redirect you
I suggest you try the cingular 2.25.11 (being that tmobile in the us uses a lot of cingular towers) since its really really stable.
EDIT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314235&highlight=t+mobile+radio+rom
try that, its a decent thread on the ROM workin in the UK, Im not exactly sure where you're stationed but the point is this, there's probably an existing thread out there.
Only thing is, many different people have many different results. Updating Radio ROMs is a little dangerous for me cus the calls I receive can be very important so I try not to mess with it.
Install a new radio rom, leave your phone in standby for a few hours and test texting and calling to see if itll wake up on its own, some roms wont work well. trial and error
Goodluck!

Point taken
Will do some more research on Tmobile Dutch(Netherlands) Radio Roms to see if that helps.
Thanks for all the effort elmetal!
Nope it's not the Radio Rom 2.19 is the most stable and loses less energy.
The 2.69 radio Has more problems keeping the signal so it uses more energy to maintain the signal, and of course you might lose some calls here and there.
Earlier posts do indeed have the classic basic Battery drain tips.
But what about deleting the items from the Windows\StartUp folder?
Flash a fully loaded battery.
How about borowing my new battery and see if it makes a difference since my wizard is on repair.
Some users even have reported that 8.2 actually was better on the battery then 8.3.
Some believe that it might have something to do with the memory leak problem most Wizard roms have issues with. Keeping more memory reffreshed does require more power. So try to set the weather plug in to only update mannualy set the homescreen to not time out. Or try setting up the included smartskey to overclock instead of Battery status althought i don't think that battery status causes isseus.
Or do a Combo. Drain the battery recharge it perform a hard reset or clear storage. You could also try a lower pagepool rom version, nowadays you can change the pagepool without reflashing. Lower is slower but again it uses less memory. You could also use wizard registry wizard to change the font cache to lower setting and other cache settings.
My advice is to charge as less as possible as my USB connector got ****ed.
I tried the 25.11 on T-mobile network but quit using it as it either froze the ROM or could just not connect.
Or yes you could get another phone
Also make sure you change the settings of the network registry to not automaticly scanning for the network.

I have a MDA and I am running WM6 and using the 2.69.11 radio and I have no problems. I found that changing the task manager settings so that the program actually closes when you click x helps increase free ram and also, don't use any overclocker software such as battery status(it kills your battery and it doesnt make that much of a difference anyways...). Another thing you want to do is disable the today timeout under today settings. that tends to use more ram and thus, kills the battery faster.
See i knew i wasn't crazy about the today timeout
Thanks for the confirm.
I had the same problem with I upgraded to 8.1. Battery drain was pretty bad.. Usually getting home from work, I'd still be in the 90's with moderate texting, but with 8.1 i'd be in like the 50's. I just went back to 7.9.
The problem isn't the ROM... it's the audio manager from HTC, that sucker eats battery like I've never seen... been having this issue too, until I stoped using the audio manager and started using windows media player!

Same here i (as in i didn't actually notice it) but i stopped using the audio manager in favour of WMP as it gave better reactions to using the Stereo Bluetooth headset. As in Audio manager sometimes did not pick up the next and previous commands or would stop playing.
As i said i never really paid attention and i can only speculate that the battery drained faster when i did use Audiomanager.
Just goes to show that closing apps completely is always the best practice.
BTW, dferreira.
Ai's it Funny how one month after your WM5SE release people actually reacted after my post
What is your reason to use WM5 base?
WM5 is the native OS for Wizards... so, I find it to be more quick than WM6... Never gave me problems, like WM6 did. WM6 is just a face lift on WM5 so... I'm trying to make it as good as WM6 but quicker

Hi, I love shiny new things and cant resist a new radio rom, however battery is a big issue for me.
What is the best from for both battery and stabiluty. Im on the latest one on this forum at the moment and it does seem a little fast on the drain and ive read 3.08 can have some delays when answering calls.
Is there anyone out there who has tried them all and can give a good, balanced view?
Thanks
3.18.90 is worse than 3.8.90 but better than 3.7.90
(my experiences)
3.8.90 > 3.7.90 > 3.18.90
Hi Dannyoneill, you could make a poll for everyone to vote on wich radio most people prefer.
Based on my experience, with Wm 6.1 in Ptg, with Htc home, today agenda and batttery status in today screen, using Ndrive or iGO to navigate, and an average of 45 m a day with calls.
1- 3.18.90
2- 3.08.90
3- 3.06.90
Cheers.
very satisfied of 3.08.09, now trying the 3.18.90
pskint, I will be keen to hear your experience.
3.18.90 best for me
I have been testing 3.18.90 for a few weeks now - and definitely best for battery drain.
New ROM 3.21.90
I've just downloaded the new ROM 3.21.90
Does anybody know how it works? I'll try it at least few days before post my opinion?
I have Installed 3.21.90 rom right now. Will get back to you all in a day or two.
I installed the rom yesterday and I would like to give first had impression of this upgrade. I must say this is very battery friendly, yestreday when I installed it I recharged the mobile 100% then installed it. Since yesterday till now, which is nearly 24hrs and with normal usage of phone (43mins), GPS (12Mins), GPRS (30min), I still have 69%battery remaining. This is still very early, I will test it longer and get back to everyone.
Moderators - Is it possible to convert this thread into a sticky poll to find out which is the best GSM Rom through a poll??
HELP
HI ! my father give me his trinity . Last month as he was using i give him nosedive ROM. BUT when im using phone without restarting it has only 30 % (without running programs) RAM and less (on start about 50 %) !!! So there is question what rom is ROM saver like using 2 weeks and ram with closed programs of course have always about 45 % ram left ?? And is IGo working with 6.1 ROMs because on 6.0 isn't and on this rom i havent tried yet.
//edit:And whats with 6.5 roms is they good and fast or only slow ... becaouse i want 6.5 but i heard that 6.5 are slow so tell me your experiance with it
HELP
hi,
i just flashed my elf to SX 6.0 WM 6.5.
i found out that the battery life in decreasing and i wonder is it due to the rom or is it the weakening of my battery.
previously i was using SX 1.1 WM 6.1
my battery now only last about a day standy
normal usage of a hour and sms daily the battery lasts less than a day.
can anyone help me figure this out?
im worried that i'll spend on a new battery and finding out later that it wasn't the battery's fault.
Hi weihoe..
Battery life drainage is probably due to one of two things.. either the ROM is not suitable or the IPL/SPL compination isn't correct..
check your IPL/SPL compination either by entering the tri-color screen (holding down the camera button and reseting with the stylus) or by dsixda's all in one elf tool found in these forums ... try to make both the IPL and the SPL the same.. for ex. i use this compination:
IPL 3.07.xxxx
SPL 3.07.xxxx
plz note also that if your are using Hard-SPL 3.14 .. this causes increased battery drain..
if the compination is fine.. try flashing another ROM and see if the problem persists..
Hope that helps..
i have also encounter this problem and i have done some research on it and i also cooked my own rom to see if i could locate what causes the drain, however
it didn't matter how much i stripped down the rom and what IPL/SPL/RADIO combination i did, and in the end my rom was completely without touchflo, gsm, wireless capabilities. (a blank GUI with a start button, nothing more)
Still the same battery drain, so the problem seems to lie in the Windows 6.5 core.
i used this version btw, WM6.5 Build 21864 (but i know that the drain applies to other versions aswell)
Seems that Microsoft has copied to much of the WM6.5 basecode from Windows Embedded CE 6.0 which also had this problem on ARM platforms before R1 release.

i dont know about other 6.5 roms.

- I believe all the builds available here are beta. So they are bound to have some issues.
- If you feel that core WM 6.5 is eating up battery then, you can try building a ROM with build 21237 and check once.
- I think build 21237 is the one on which MS released an official WM 6.5 SDK.
- The main issue I see with 21237 is : After clicking cross on top right on any screen it always returns to home screen (which I find a bit more offensive).
so how much new original battery cost?and what if duplicate battery do to battery life?is it wirth to have it or not?

Not builds 218xx. Those are non-beta builds made for HTC.
The rest are beta (e.g. the WM 6.5.1 builds with the buttons moved to the bottom)

You probably mean 21234, which was the first official WM6.5 release, but that one has battery drain as well.

Not 3.10, 3.14 is known for bigger drain.
I think what you are doing to increase the battery consumption is Manila2D V2.0. If they notice, everyone here who are complaining use the version with this ROM. Even I huehuehuehuehue. Before the battery life of my device was two days now takes only one day...

No, battery drains even without M2D and the Phone Canvas.
Guys, the ELFin has NEVER had a long life for me, tops 2 days even with shipped ROM. I compensate with car charger and 2 desk chargers (cheap = ebay). One home, one office. Saving for a Hero.

same problem. use:
spl/ipl 3.10 + latest rom of onyx based on 6.5wm - 2-3 days
before installing - ~1 week

One week? Only if your phone is switched off...lol.
So what's the best build to use (which has the lowest battery consumption?). Will the battery on my device back to last for two days ... (my battery is lasting less than 24 hours).

Hi,
I have a HTC Touch2 (non camera version). I find that the batery life drain very fast and also it hang frequently as in unexpected error and also hang that require reinserting of battery.
I've checked the wiki and my phone spec and I already have the latest radio 3.54.25.25.
Additional information: Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional CE OS 5.2.21889.5.0.87).
Is there any update for that or solution to solve both issue?
Please advise.
Thanks
lol. You in government?
