Rom WWE_RC2140907B2
PLEASE LET US KNOW HOW IS IT.
if it solve the memory leakage problem .
And if the battery doesn't drain so fast.
Eh...what memory leakage? I have been using the previous WM6 ROM for several months, and the few times I have to do a soft reset (maybe once a week, max twice) it's because the WiFi isn't working after a sync.
More longer you use it, the memory leakage will be solve alittle by alittle.
For more than 1 month without hardreset, i able to get 27mb free RAM after reboot and the 2G MiniSD still inside.
Megaupload is very annoying. I've uploaded the ROM to http://rapidshare.com/files/59257870/Xda_Atom_Life_WM6_WWE_RC2140907B2.exe.html

Well, memory leak is a real problem. If you use ActiveSync, MMS, Windows Live, then you would be haunted by the memory leak.
Anyway, this version solves some problem,
1) Windows Live feature does not try to connect to GPRS/3G anymore if you are connected to the internet via WiFi.
2) Esmertec Java is replaced by JBlend. Welcome 3D to Java world!
3) O2 Connect service is improved... a little. Never use it though... the downside is, you can't remove it, but you can disable the service.
Allso...
after update the Rom i see a that the Radio change:
OLD : AL1-KLNC-2.3.40T-070601-2
NEW: AL1_KLNC2340_070905_RS001
don't know if mean somthing.
one more thing.
The Camera is now Fixed, the zoom is working, and it's much faster.
It also looks like that the memory leakage problem is less annoying
last night after the Rom updae I had 21.72 MB now after 8 hours I have 21.70 MB.
I hope that the problem has gone away.

Is there any hang when updating ROM? I read some many threads from other forums, sometimes Atom Life hangs when up ROM. If no, I will update ROM then. If yes, please let me know how to avoid it.
Any comments are highly appreciate.
Thanks in advanced.
I have had no hanging problem. Thankyou.
But, I am facing two problems :
a) Phone restarts w/o reason many times (This problem existed earlier aswell, b4 ROM upgrade)
b) When I use Wi-Fi, and after display goes into stand-by mode (after non-usage for a while), the phone display doesnot come back. (NEW PROBLEM, after ROM upgrade). The only option I have is to soft reset.
Phone resets are usually not software, but hardware related. Often bad battery connections.
The reason why I don't have a memory leak is probably that I don't use any of the Windows Live stuff. That's for kids, and I'm past 40...
But I have a problem with this ROM: The phone doesn't charge when it's connected to my computer with the Active Sync cable. It used to charge, only very slowly. Now the battery slowly drains instead! Does anybody else see this?
About the memory leak, if you didn't run any applications like MMS application, Windows Live, ActiveSync, then you are safe. Anyway, if you soft reset the device and doesn't use it to run any applications for 8 hours, you won't get a memory leak. You need to use the device to run applications to see it. But some are not memory leak. It is the way Windows work. Some code (shared modules) are not released after used because it is hoped that the next applications the user open will be using the same shared modules. The phone application (cprog.exe) also consume quite a lot of memory if you have a lot of contacts. After using it to dial and receive calls, you'll notice that it will be consuming more and more memory. So, on average, you will get around 10mb of free main memory.
Regarding device restarting itself, I only get this when I was using WM5 rom. Actually it doesn't restart itself, it shutdown itself (turned off completely). After using three WM6 rom releases, I haven't have this issue. So, it might have been hardware related (like battery). It might also be 3rd party application like PhoneAlarm. For PhoneAlarm, the device might soft reset after receiving SMS.
Regarding device freezing, I'm not having this problem also. If I do, I know that it is caused by any 3rd party applications I've installed. To investigate this part, you'll need to hard reset and force yourself to try using the device for about a week to see if it still freezes. If it does, bring it back to O2 for warranty claim.
Regarding the latest ROM update, I noticed that the camera DID start faster but the video recording is way too slow. During video recording, the frame rate on the screen is very very very very slow. For the photo shot, the shooting is quite quick but the saving part (save to main memory) is slower compared to previous rom.
I get what you mean about the memory leak. I only use NetRemote (which closes itself completely and doesn't leave anything), Pocket IE (which I up to now have closed with PocketPlus, but I have dumped PP because it gave me a few phone problems every now and then), the phone part and contacts and calendar. But I do active sync, and I haven't seen any problems there.
Well, I have faced 2 problems with this WM6 ROM:
1/ The battery life is no longer than the WM5 it maybe drains the battery more quickly. The old one I used for 2 days in normal condition (call, listen music, radio and a little bit Wifi) while new one with the same condition I only used it for more than 15 hours.
2/ When using wifi more than 30 minutes continuously, the battery become so hot (hotter than the WM5 version).
Does anybody face these problems above? If you know how to overcome them please share me.
Any comment is highly appreciate.

You get 15 hours? With my normal use (without bluetooth on), getting 12 hours is considered lucky for me. With bluetooth on, 8 hours and it is dead.
Same goes with WM5.

How new is your device???
If it is still within the warranty check with the service center...also try to remove the memory card and try using for some time and monitor the battery status...it happens some times a bad memory card can suck all the power from the device...if it is kinda phone which is older 2 yr or more then get a new battery...hope you find this usefull...
my gene is 18months old.it was good when i had my original wm5..that time i got 2days battery..ok.how costly it is...should i get original or duplicate?
I always recommend original replacements. Sometime ago I lost a cell phone because of a fake battery.
I do not think duplicate batteries are worth it. They never ever give you performance (as a matter of fact, their performance will be most likely worse than your existing battery ).
BTW can you try Pro User's ROM? And give us a feed back? The Gene is a very complex device (thanks to HTC ). All are Gene, but all are different, some issues come with some devices, while they are totally non existent in other phones. If you are reading the forum for some time, I hope you understand what I mean. BTW, if I am not wrong, Battery should be around INR 2000/-.

did you try using the phone after removing the memory card?is the battery draining at 1% every minute even after removing the memory card??
@saurabh: Try Krazy prousers ROM V2R3. Earlier also a discussion happended on battery issue. May go thru the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487374
hey strange but after removing 4gb kingston card i got 5 hrs battery at 42%charged...so u r right about bad memory card...any helpful solution for that thing
buy a new SD
hi
may be ur SD is gone bad or some thing or try buying a 2GB sd maybe another brand like transcend im using this 2GB and its not affecting my battery
and note when u use things like the M2D it drains battery so try sumits pro users im sure by my experience that ur battery performance will improve
goodluck

yes Haree,while using pro6.5 maximum battery life for me is 2 days ,i don't know how Sumit's gene is giving 4 days backup.
@Hari and Rakesh : Yes i am not a very heavy phone user, on gene particularly. It is for official purpose only. For other battery busting tasks, i use a nokia 1600 But i use my touch screen too much, more than anybody of you, due to always searching for new registry tweaks, analyzing system files, internet browsing, email checking, etc. Other than this i use my phone for listening to songs with AudioBooster ON for 1.5 hours everyday (I am quiet a bhajan fan, i find them very soothing, so i listen to them everyday strange for a tech guy, isn't it? But thats the way I am, a little different ). Plus about 1-2 hours of bluetooth on mode. I am gettting 3.5 to 4 days with all this
hey i got new battery cost 1500ru..and i want to ask one question.i always download from net at night..putiing my phone with charger..so is it safe way?plz give me some guidance about hiw to and when to charge battery
Yes its safe. But over time, if you don't calibrate your battery for long time, the first battery bar will start to go down fast. So make sure you re-calibrate your battery at least a month. To do that, follow these steps :
1. Discharge phone completely using games, music, videos etc and then take battery out.
2. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
3. Put back the battery but don't turn on the phone.
4. Charge it in switched off condition, until the power LED becomes green.
5. Restart the phone now.
Thats it
thanks
thanks for reply
I have an almost new HTC HD2. I am testing various ROMs and radios to find the reason for why is my HD2 going through battery so quick.
At this point I am with HD2O v18 ROM and 2.15.50 radio. This is the best combo for me so far in terms of battery use. Even so, my phone, with everything but 2G turned of, I'm getting 38-39mA. With turned on screen with brightness on auto, and everything else turned of except 2G, I'm getting 100-130mA. This all seems to much to me.
I also sometimes boot AmeriCanAndroid from SD card, and there it's even worse. 60mA on standby and 120-140 on everything off but auto screen brightness.
Any ideas?
What kind of battery consumption are you getting?
i had problem like this when i used wm6.5 but then i flashed Nexus rom on nand and the bettery is good as stand by i leave it for 3 days without charging or some thing like that and every thing is fine ... give it a shoot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060
Thank you for your time and advice. I'll keep it in mind. But for now, I'd like to stick to WM, and solve the drain problem. Android doesn't suite me.
you welcome man,
hahaha i thought android wouldn't suite me too in the first because im wm freak, but then i found android really good .... if only microsoft didn't stop supporting it
I'm coming from Android on SE x10 which I have been using for four months. And when I say it doesn't suit me, I'm being very mild.
Anywayz, it's better to stick to the original subject. Another thing just came to my mind. Could an old SIM cause battery drain issues in standby? I have a first generation SIM dating to 1998 or 1999. SIM from last millenium.
I read somewhere that old SIMs can cause trouble on modern phones...
hahaha i don't know, first time i hear about the SIM and battery thing ... anyway good luck man solving the problem ... and when it solved let me know what was the reason
Just like I thought, the 12 years old SIM was a problem. Today I got the new SIM, and voila; 4mA on standby, I'm really surprised that nobody thought of this earlier. Not even HTC customer service.
So advice for everyone out there; if your phones have high battery drain on all ROMs/Radios, before anything else, check your SIM. And this applies to all modern phones, not just HD2. I had the same problem with SE X10.
I had the same issue when i used sd card and different android bults even nexu's and I also have a ancient sim.
The drain with the sd was 60mA in standby and more that 200mA with great spikes in normal use.(winmo 6.5 in nand)
Since I made a clean Nand install with NexusGingerbread current in standby is from 4 to 8 mA and in use about 160mA.
So if you ever decide to go in android better have a nand install.
HD2 is a great phone and i think that it is limited with stock os.
it's a common problem, it happens at random when you use WinMo a bit before running android.
use something like exceller's multi build loader, and set it to auto launch at the desired time (even 10-15 seconds work) and this problem should go away.
I also noticed that my battery consumption goes high on some build when using these apps:
setCPU (I know, strange!)
circle launcher
perfect viewer (sometimes, and only when it's running in the background, an app killer solves this)
I can't think of any other app. so if the above methd doesn't work, try to uninstall these apps if you have them one by one, reboot (turn off then on) after each uninstallation and try the phone for a few hours.
Normally, standby consumption shouldn't be higher than 15 mA/h and most of the time it should be lower than 10.
Hello everybody, My photon is having very bad battery life and i havent even had it a full year, And when i first started having this problem i got a new battery, ( no luck), I fully rebooted my phone, And i rooted it, So if anyone has any suggestions on how to find whats causing my bad batter life tell me.
Batterlife:
Playing games 1-2 hours
Listening to music 7 hours
Screen on listening to music 3 hours
bump, Please help!!!
12 hours is a great battery life.
so? 6 hours of display = it's normal time for android phones..

Question for ya. Are you running any custom roms or just stock rooted?
The reason i ask is simply because if you are running any ics+ roms, your battery life odds are will be significantly decreased, its like that for phones who even have official ics/jb
If your on just a rooted stock rom, odds are the bloat ware is draining your juice. Sprint/moto have a bunch of background apps/services that will run at startup.
Few recommendations for you.
Settings:
1)Turn off auto brightness, and simply set your phone to a brightness that is low, but easily visible indoors/out
2)Ensure gps is off unless you are using a navigation app (please dont use the crap one built in, drains battery, lags, is rele only a trial,etc)
3)If you are not in the habit of locking ur phone when you are not on it, set your timeout for the screen to 15 seconds
4) Turn off background sync/ use only on wifi
Apps:
1)Download a root uninstall app to remove apps.
2)Download a autorun management app to disable unnecessary crap
3)Possibly buy a nice root toolbox, ie, rom toolbox pro.
4)Use battery calibrator for root phones and follow instructions
Aftermarket:
1) buy an extended battery
2) buy a spare or 2 batteries. (look on amazon, buy the two aftermarket batteries/wallcharger/ Lanyard) Youll never need to worry about your battery again. lol
3) Buy an independent charger/power source, you know, the ones that you charge, and then use to charge on the go without any wires
None of these things are guaranteed to help, but thats what i can think of off the top of my head as far as solutions go. The photon has a surprisingly small charge battery considering all the phone can do.
Hope something here helps at least a little

My apologies for the delay in my response. I haven't run the stock rom since week 2 of me owning the phone. That was quite some time ago.
i will link you to a very old thread here in the development section that i used to remove all the sprint crap.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217134
Keep in mind it is a good idea to ensure you know how to revert back if need be.
You have 3 options here really, i will list them in the order i recommend
1) Get yourself either that toolkit i mentioned(Works good for all of your needs) or a root uninstallation app that offers you the ability to backup/restore/freeze apps
2) Use a file manager app with root privileges to browse your phones system files, and rather then deleting the apps, simply rename them with an easily recognizable extention, IE: .backup, .bak, .back (You get the idea)
3) You can delete apps manually as instructed in the thread, be sure you read it thoroughly, and know what apps you delete disable (google search the apk and what it is if you are unsure)
Good luck mate
Ive Pac'ked my bags, and am on my PacMopho. *Cheers*
Hey guys. So Im losing a lot of battery whenever Im installing CM10.1! Now Im using the Omega ROM but its just not as snappy and smooth as CM.. But I get decent battery life on it... I wanted to ask if there are some things I can do in order to make CM or even Omega to lose less battery life. I saw pictures of people using their phone for 2 days and only getting to about 20 percent. I can never do that and I don't know why.
Maybe I should combine a certain kernel with a certain OS? I dont know... If anyone has anything to recommend, that would be great
Thanks

First, use search http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172506 This should help a bit.
Secon thing is that it all depends on the usage. In deep-sleep, with no wifi/data connection, battery saving mode on, and only 2G network connectivity you will probably get this 20% in 2 days even on stock. But hey, whats the point? You can ofc. turn off data connectivity when you don't use it (e.g. you don't need all that synchronizations because you are near the computer, but it all depends on personal needs.
