did anyone have this problem with Gene after upgrading to mUn's WM6?
battery seems to long 50 percent or even less comparing to original WM5 rom. reminds me of a problem with my s200 after upgrading to a coocked WM5 rom couple of years ago.
charged it fully at 2300 did not touch at all and at 0700 indicator showed 73 percent.
dont want to go back to damn WM5 still hope that after several charges the battery gets calibrated.

waterdeep, I've been using WM6 from the very first day it came out and i didn't noticed any significant battery drainage! a full charge still lasts 3 days with 1-2 hours of calls a day & major usage of outlook.
Alright, its not the rom upgrade.
Charged my gene to 100%, put it aside for 14 hours, checked it and it's still on 100%.
I an having the same problem, I have a battery meter tester installed on the phone when it had WM5 and WM6.. the consumption rate is up by 120%..
Guess this will require a bigger battery pack..
Battery drains to 50% then stays there.
After my old battery's liftime was over I bought a new one, put it into my HTC Wizard, then switched the device on.
Everything worked fine, the battery was 'preloaded' to 50% - I thought - because that's the value the battery indicator was showing.
After charging to 100% I plugged the Wizard off and I could almost watch the battery draining back to 50%.
BUT: Because the battery lifetime from 50-10% is that long (aprx. 2d standby and 4h gprs/bluetooth/display > ON), I don't think it's a battery hardware problem.
On the battery was written: 'Charge to 100% - then put into device' but because I don't have an external charger, so I didn't follow this suggestion.
Could it be a problem with some kind of calibration (maybe the device reminds the 100% voltage at some point?)
Sometimes this trick helps:
Switched-off device charging until LED light's green. Then plug off and boot. Then plug back into the cradle and charge it up to 100%.
But as I said - sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
Any ideas welcome to get rid of this bug
wow you woke up a thread after 1 & half years! Congrats.
@Addicted: Now thats what i call a BUMP!
seems to work hum? - at least you're feeding it not with the information I'd like to but at least I stick to topic

No, no problems at all... The new WM6.5 works even faster and more efficiently (even in battery usage aspects) than the old WM5.1 (originally installed in my HTC Gene100)
I suppose you have to check all the settings and also follow some tips (posted somewhere around) about enhancing your battery performance. These describe actions like "drain your battery fully", "remove from the device for 5 mins", "charge it completely" "repeat this process every 2 or 3 months" and so on.
Or even check your ROM version. With all the "cooking" some might be unefficient. Change it for some better ROM.
Greetings
Oh, I've found you some of these tips: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5087294
Funny, u r resonding to some feb 2008 post that too for issues related 4 upgrading to wm6.

I am getting very poor battery life.
The battery drains within 24 Hrs to a dead phone.
Is it normal? I have heard, people talking about a battery life of 3-4 days.
What can I do to correct this problem.
Please help.
Hi Anand
I, too, had terrible battery life once I upgraded. I had heard that sometimes if you flash the ROM again over the last time it improves the life. I was skeptical ... until I did it last night.
My device was still at 94% when I woke this morning, and by 5pm this afternoon had only dropped to 87%. I have never had such great battery life! Never!
Give it a try. Can't hurt.
Kevin
I tried reflashing the ROM, but it did not had an impact on the battery backup.
Do I need to take care of something while reflashing it.
Thanks a lot for the reply and the help.
Has anyone else had issues with draining battery life? After flushing with the latest official ROM, 30% left after left switched off O/N!!!!
Any fixes? is it a known issue?
Thanks!
i am having the same problem...i also reflashed...but it seems like the device doesnt go to standby mode after 'x' minutes of inactivity as selected in the power options. is the same thing happening with u 2?
also, are u using O2 Plus?
initial charging
have tried recharging your atom for 8 hours when you first bought it? try it. it worked for me. it extended my batt's life
Yes, I am using O2 Plus, also, I think charging of Li-Poly Batteries does not require to be charged for 8 Hrs. Infact it may result into over charging.
By the way, I am getting precisely 24 Hrs of backup when using PUSH email support with Ms Exchange Server.
charging
check the manual.. it says there u need to fully charge the atom for 8 hours.. that's for the initial charging. i also called one of the reps in the service center for atom here in the phils and that was waht he told me to do. cheers mate
Hi try removing the WM5 Battery Icon on the top bar through the registry... i notice that helpson my atom. i have O2 batery meter running instead.
Re: charging
I have poor battery life as well. Unit is discharge within 12 hours.
I have a whole lot of applications installed, so after I've reinstalled the ROM, I'd my backup fully restored.
I am wondering if that's a mistake as it might also "restore" the issue with the battery life. Anyone has advise on this matter?
Thanks!
I neva did that 8hrs initial charge since too excited to explore on the 1st touch~ hehe..
Btw, it's said many times that plug-ins that probes hardware needs extra battery power ie. memory/battery/storage. I've none of those plugins and even on a2dp stereos, the battery only drops from 100 to 80+ on few hours of mp3s. Some players can switch off your backlight and still continue playing mp3s ie. WM10/TCPMP, see their button assignment options. You might also wanna remove that battery icon on the top right through the registry. Set the backlight 10secs, slider to 1-4 and power down 1min helps me alot too.
reflashing
heya ppl...what do you mean by reflashing?Cheers...
Battery Died on me
hey the battery was low, and i plugged it into the computer jack (to synchronize), which was supposed to rechareg the battery, an hour later, it beeped saying battery was too low, and was shutting down. and it shut off completely.
now i am rechanging with the charger, and the amber light is on.... but after 30 mins of charging, i still can't turn on the phone.
when i try, the green light seem to flash onmce every 30 seconds....... and i have put it back in the charger
when it completely discharges, do i have to fully recharge before i can switch it on?
Atom Manual Help
Well, after getting fed up with my poor Atom's battery life, I checked out the manual to see what it said about battery life. It does say to charge the battery for 8 hours intially, and for the first 3 charges after that you must drain it completely then recharge it fully--for a total of 3 times. Okay, so I did this and I haven't noticed a difference (I know others say you aren't supposed to do this with a Li-Ion battery but it's in the manual!).
Anyone else tried this?
The only other thing I haven't tried was reflashing (reloading the ROM).
It seems this issue is the bane of the Atom.
Battery life
try to reduce the "brightness" and make sure to end every task completely! 8)
Battery Drain
I already wrote about this in some other forum but this the same problem with my O2 with Bluetooth not more then 8 hours max. Without bluetooth. 20 to 24 hours.
I never leave any application running I use the memory settings to close all applications.
I still do not find any diff. I have closed the IR, I have reduced the backlight time to 10 Secs. I have reduced the backlight to 3. No change.
I have already complained about this to O2 but no result. They are probably stuck with Windows people not supporting them or with no solution. They are not even responding now on this issue. TOOOOO BAD
I hope someone can find a solution.
Flash the ROM exactly as per the procedure. Normally the last part is not read properly. After the ROM is flashed they ask to reset the device twice. One time a Hard Reset and another time a soft reset before you load the data and programs. If you follow the procedure properly maybe you will solve the battery problem like me and many others.
If you are using bluetooth switch it off and check you will come to know the exact battery life. Secondly in settings keep IR off. Backlight a bit low 3 or 4 as you get proper vision, without reflection and most of all saves battery. Most important close all programs by going to Settings>Memory>close all so that all applications will close and not consume the battery. This is a windows software flaw which needs correction but no one does anything for it, not even microsoft.
I am getting poor battery life with New ROM 20060426 i also reflashed but nothing
it's the same prob with old roms ??
thanx
did you perform reset twice after reflashing? first rard reset, second soft reset?
thanx kropotov with reset twice after reflashing all ok . after 24 hours battery still in 75%
thanx
battery drain was one problem i faced another one last night ,i had put my prophet on charger with unticking the turn off on external power option i left it on 94% and after 40 minnutes i returned to check battery ,to my surprise it was 86% (reverse) this was pdaviet 4.000.5b cross rom ,then i flashed it with wm5 nvid rom ,it was then normal charging started,btw backlight was off all the time i left it only the screen was left on

I've notice something like that too. But it was in a beta-test I flashed a lot then, and with the next WM6 flas it disappeared. Never knew what caused it, but it isn't consistent with all the WM6 ROMS.
may be the wm6 roms are being ripped of from systems having bigger charge capacity batteries unlike 1200mah of prophet and may be then the rom itself needs some hex editing based on that battery which htc touch uses
people with wm6 whose battery is more than 11 months old who get a reset at 20% or anytime other than less than 4 % should change their battery , which should solve part one of the problem (because its a common symptom when batteries get old they loose amperes fast and when they dont generate that amount of current the handset resets even at 20% or 45% etc depending on bad condition of battery) ,
another part2 of problem is battery reverse charging which i observed in cross 4.00.5b ,my battery being healthy and new put on chrger seemed to be charging backwards if i keep my handset on while being on charger but turn backlight off,and this is not a good sign ,which indicated either system files needed to keep log of battery are of a handset which is not htc prophet or wm6 does not support battery hardware of prophet properly , although wm6 might support this processor but what is the use of having a ferrari when there is a hole in the fuel tank and it wont run for even a mile.
part3 battery seems to drain faster means again battery logs are not storing properly
part4 battery not seeming to charge fast again prompts to dll files for battery dont seem to support hardware
it is assumed in wm6 rom that it would be so efficient that battery would charge 2 times fast and would also drain 3 times less here
http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=165260
i wonder where is such a rom which would do this and why is it in chinese
It should come from the caribian sea.......
charging two times faster and 3times less battery drain.
This is wodoo..........
Just a miracle.....
3 day standby is easy with PDAViet 4.0.0.6... at least mine
I have battery status with the dynamic 123, 175, 208, so that helps my battery also.

actualy that does not help your battery because when using cpu scaling the batter will keep draining when you don't use your phone because the cpu keeps working to keep the clock down at 123Mhz..
This phone has a bad history since day one that I had to send back top Spain for the warranty to cover replacing the motherboard. Today my day started with WM 6 not loading up and phone shutting off. I downgraded to WM5 to re install WM6 touch VIII. All went well until it reaches the windowns screen and when I click start-settings or anything else it beeps and shuts off. The only way it stays on is when connected to USB or to wall charger. I have 2 batteries that are about 1 yr old. One of which I was using daily heavily. I noticed the other battery which I use less, when connected to wall charger it does not even turn charger light on. I did leave battery aout of phone for at least 4 hours after I had issues getting past the Prophet touch VIII Gullum screen this AM. Now, should I buy another battery and try it or is this the internal battery(is there one) that does not hold charge and needs repairing. Anyone had similar issues. The search function here did not return anything.
Is your battery charged up? I had the same problem when my battery was down to under 25%. Once the battery was charged up the problem went away.
try a new battery start fresh
try a new battery start afresh or use some of your friends whose is only not more than 2 months old ,if battery is the culprit then everything would work fine. these batteries dont last much more than 1 year.
I got it to work!!
I put the battery that works and charged it off the wall charger. I could see the battery scale go from 0% to 100% in a few minutes. Something really weird, I went ahead and ordered another battery on ebay but its coming from Hong Kong so hopefully the remaining battery won't die. I also reinstalled Touch VIII and it works great so far. Thanks for replies.
Hi,
since I flashed Crystal V4 onto my VPA compact s, the phone reports out of battery power when all battery indicators actually show around 15% to 17% battery left. It shuts down and can't be restarted without plugging in the charger first. Is this a common known issue? Could it be caused by overclocking (to 260 Mhz). Can this somehow be fixed?
Apart from that: superb ROM.
Michael
same problem with Aserg WM5 rom when battery indicators show around 15% to 17% battery left, it shuts down
try not to overclock your prophet, see if it helps....
how much time does it take to come down from 100 % to 15% ,24 hours or 48 hours or more ?
when push mail is activate 24/48 hours, if not activate more 72/96 hours
Surprisingly yesterday my Qtek S200 with Mysterious 1.0 did the same thing, with only 20% left, it keep rebooting like if the battery was low...
I actually have had the same issue happen twice and I lost everything sinceI did a hard reset. The first time I thought it was maybe the battery since it only turned on while being charged. I got a new battery and it worked for a while but last Friday it happened again and lost everything again. Not sure how low was the battery but I am beginning to suspect that maybe the internal battery is messed up. Can anyone tell me if that is the case. I also stopped overclocking but it happened a second time.
Sorry for that but as a note Prophet doesn't have internal battery as it stores its user's data on a ROM not RAM. Internal battery was in Win 2003SE and previous. By the way, I've the same problem with WM5 NoID version.

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought there was some kind of internal battery that ran the memory such as the clock and this is why they tell you to remove the battery for more than 15minutes to reset the device.
