Please POST your battery life in each ROM you installed? lets monitor in each pagepool and each AKU. *Note-i hope in each ROM, you install the same program that you have*
WM6 6mbpagepool AKU 0.7= my batt life is only 1 day
WM6 BETAversion AKU0.7= my batt life is 2 days
WM5 AKU3.3.3 = my batt life is 1-2 days
normal calls a day 20 calls 2min/percall
Telstra JAJAM LIfe
Hi. JASJAM Telstra Australia was:
WM5 - Radio 1.38.00.10 -- Battery generally flat by end of work day about 4hrs calls per day & activesync to Exchange server every 1/2 hour
WM6 Black satin, Radio 1,51.00.10 - Battery flat by/before lunchtime.. Cant get to end of day , even if charging when in the car with usb charger /lead.
I think I need to fix my proper imate car charger (lead broke) as it appears to charge faster when some of the extra pins in the miniusb connector are shorted to (ground?) & this is not done when using generic USB charger & a lead.
I dont know whether its a "feature" of WM6, but when the device syncs now, I see an extra 3G or H icon appear (tiny) next to signal strength indicator & it stays there unless you press & hold "hang up" If data acess remains on, that would make the battery life suck obviously... I wonder if it can be made to cut off after x minutes? I realise this is unrelated, but I have also been experienceing a failure of the windows "Start" icon & key on today screen after using the phone a couple of times & making notes in a call.
I will downgrade to Radio 1.50.00.00 I think & try it. But there were some posts about only versions ending in .10 working in some places ??
8Meg Pool WM5 AKU 3.3F - 4-5% lost overnight (8hours)
4Meg Pool WM6 AKU 6.0 - 25% lost overnight (8hours)
The only software I install is PA for both device. I going to revert back to WM5 as I had monitor WM6 AKU 6.0 for 2 days and I had been getting 25% lost each night.

what do u mean by percentage 80%. pls elaborate more, im trying to understand ur info.
Guys, are you sure it's not a failing battery or software that's causing the problem? I'm still having only 4-5% at night, which is my normal drain... and I have HTC Home and WBA3 running...

i just want to know where can i buy online , a cheaper but higher capacity batt.
which one ur using @ultimate? mAH?
I'm using a local brand Worcell, 1530Mah, Japan Cells. Tested to perform slightly better than the O2 supplied Taiwan battery of the same rating by me (difference of 1% drain overnight). I switched it because the battery randomly looses its charge, and had no problems since.
4-5% drain overnight, ~40% whole day use, inclusive of RSS reading and 2 35-minute bus journeys of A2DP goodness. ^_^
Without A2DP I get ~29% whole day use.
wm6 atom rom 0.3 or 0.7 = 25% overnight (without any software)
wm5 atom exec rom = 4% overnight (with WA2, HTC Home, pocket brease...)
ATOM WM6 AKU 0.7 8MB pagepool with HTC Home plugin & Touch Cube
ATOM WM6 AKU 0.7 8MB pagepool with HTC Home plugin & Touch Cube
15hours (9am-12midnite) usage and my battery is down to 60-70% of battery power left. I think thats pretty good battery life ( I switch off bluetooth though) - just normal PDA usage, SMS and some short phone calls.
Before, when I was at WM5 (with Xda-Atom-ENG-20060426-MOT0822), I didnt get such a good performance from my battery - battery would drain until 30% battery power left at end of day - but thats when I also left my bluetooth on all day.
I'm still using the original battery that came with my ATOM.
Did anyone replace original battery? where´s buy?

so ur battery last for 2-3 days?
please post also for how many days ur battery last? which batt ur using? and the normal calls duration u have in a day.
exactly what i was shouting about
wm6 8pp
if once fully charged it can work for 1 day + 6 hr
and earlier it was 3 days
I am again getting 25% loss after i hard reset and did not install Phone Alarm.
I can get good battery life.. i will revert back to WM5 AKU 3.3F to see any difference. Let me sync my data first
I am using the 4 meg pool.... anyone using different meg pool like 6 or 8.. What pool did you use to get 4-5 % loss
so ur battery last for 2-3 days?

~2 days at the most with my normal usage. 12 hours if I accidentially leave a game running in the background.
I get pretty much the same results for 3.3F, so no difference there.
Guys, please remember that you have to redo the standard power saving tips (e.g turn off Recieve Incoming Beams) every time you hard reset or reflash your device. Make it a habit.

what are the standard power saving tips? pls post here all for the benefits of the newbies.
*Turn off "receiving all incoming beams"
*Turn off all wireless/bluetooth applications if not in use.
*Reduce the brightness of the backlight
hows everyones battery?
i will monitor again my battery for the upcoming release of new ROM. Hope jiggs can finish that soon.
as of now maximum 2 days i can use my atom with normal duration and numbers of calls i have. Im in Bank Sales, thats the reason my phone is quite busy yet i manage to have the battery life for 2days. that's better for me.
How long does your battery last?
I pluged my phone into the charger to charge and took it out only this morning.
After about 10+ hrs, my battery has only 33% left!!
I know abt the problems with atom life's battery but it seems to drain too much power...
I'm using Medkid's PDAVIET Rom and installed only HTC Home plug in and HHC.
Sorry 4got to mention.
There was minimal usage and did not use phone. Less than 5 minutes ( juz switch on to see time etc).
check your cpu profile though,
also if u set to best for performance the battery drain real fast, plus any wi-fi and bluetooth will just kill it quick.
i think mine last longer than ya, last time i remember i went away for a night my battery still 40% the next morning.
but yep despite the powerful atom life, its baterry sux. hope other manufacturer could provide the same size battery with better power management.
Woah 60% drain for a whole day is way better den mine...
I got the power consumption think and the drain is about 220mA or so w/o doing anything
issit normal?
if you use xcpuscalar that could be reason... although you underclock your cpu, it has much bigger battery consumption so don't use it!
Don't keep your screen brightness on a high level.
I am running the OEM W6 ROM with the HTC Home Plug and my battery life is fine, and I am using 3G about 95% of the day.
Sometimes I need to charge it at night, sometimes I don't.
Original (supplied) battery can last for 18 to 20 hrs with less usage, meaning only call and sms. Have bought extended battery that can last for 2 days. Oh ya, my atom life have htc plugin and hhc, plus spb shell, pointui and touchcommander installed. I used clean WM6, download from O2 site, as I am uncomfortable with cooked rom.
Here's my today screen:
hmm.. can i found home plugin look like HTC ?? i want to download
hi i have been using my atom for almost 2 years now, i have an option to change it over for aTOM EXEC How is the battery life compared to the old atom, is it better or worse? shud i stay with the oldie any comments
??
None has any Ideas??
Well, battery life almost same but Exec is much faster and responsive with couple of extra software+IR KB with it. Have used both and for me Atom Exec is better as its body is also good and dont get finger smudges. Presently am using it.
My Xda Atom originally comes with an 1530mah( XP-02) battery and its performance is terribly short. I have seen some advertising for the high capacity batteries up to 3500mah. So are those batteries fraud or have anyone try them before and give me advice.
Thanks for reading anyway
Battery Preformance
i have tried the orginal battery which comes with ATOM LIFE XP-09 and its better than XP-02 but both are sucks.. i have tried many other brands and most are sucks too.. good news that am testing new battery XP-02 2100Mah and its double size the orginal battery size and until now everything works fine but still testing.. good thing its last for 2 days until now and still have 50% still testing,,bad thing ur slim nice atom will be little fater!!
enjoy my new battery pics
might cause problems due to excessive heat
i've read from one of the post that extended battery create much heat and leaves our dear love atoms into unstable state, possible permanent damage. let us know how it turns out...?

yusack.... the abovementioned battery widely available in ebay, but pls do some research on the buyer itself first to avoid any unnecessary things.
however I still curious regarding about its performance... is it really worth it?
atom battery
I have XP-02, 3.7V 1530mAh battery with my Atom phone, now the battery backup is low and I would replace it with some new battery with same, but it does not support the phone. I really worried about my battery so please some one suggest me to where do i find the new good battery with support.

Atom Lovers, may i ask how long or how short does your ATOM long last?
i just have mine last week as a gift from my brother (he used it 1st).
i upgraded the rom and satisfies me.. but its the battery that annoys me..
i have this XP-02 also, and i can only use it about 2hours(full charge)?
