I have been using Atom Life for a month now.
It is giving me very bad time on Battery.
The standy-time is max 7-8 hours.
Whats more problematic is the fact that phone goes off, when battery goes below 40%. Sometimes at 20%. No fixed trend.
Is anyone facing similar problem.
Any suggestions.
try after changing CPU profile
I did have this problem, but I fix it with the new battery, right now, my life can using for two days. I purchase the new bettery from ebay. and all the problem have been fixed. the battery come with the phone only can stand for 6-7 hours and crashed the system when battery level below 50%. you should buy the new battery.
Hi, what kind of battery did you buy, the XP-09 model? or what.
thanks
xp-02,that is what i got. try this, it work for me.
thanks a lot; my atom crashes sometimes when i received a call and the battery is around 40%. With the XP-02 not occurs then?.
Thanks
yes, it haven't crash since I replace the new battery.
Hi Keywong .i just received my xp-02 from ebay, but my atom life couldn,t charge it more than 50%, change into green light when reach around 50 % of charge. I tried change the batteries but the problems still remains, it happens to you too?
thanks a lot

Hi,
You can try soft reset and re-charge again. This happen when I change a battery from O2 (still XP-09). 1st time charge no problem, 2nd time charge, stay at 62% and ture green light. Try on/off charger still the same, soft reset to solve the problem.
Previous battery alway give me problem after a month or so, auto off after the level fall below certain level. Have to change it from service centre again. FYI this is my 3rd set of Atom Life and 4th battery.
Notice that XP-02 (from ebay picture) in made in taiwan and XP-09 in made in China.
Notice from ebay.
Atom Life battery XP-02 is made in Taiwan, and the battery from O2 XP-09 is made in China.
thank you for the answers. I tried doing soft and hard reset, change the battery new for the old one, but the problem still remains. Then i´m gonna send the battery to UK for the garanty...
i´ll tell you
O2 Life Battery Problem
I've got problem with my O2 life first. It restart itself when the battery drop below 35% and couldn't be turn on unless i charge it a bit.
To solve the problem simply change the CPU setting to best power and it works with me. No need to replace the battery because the problem not with the battery but with the high Processor in O2 life.
i have problem.. if my pda overhead.. can not charge. why? normal?
Hi,
I have the same problem with the battery. The problem REDUCES when I switch the CPU profile to 'Best Power' (as written by Alkaizer). But by switching the profile to 'Best Power', the CPU runs at 206Mhz instead of 624Mhz. With 'Auto' you're somewhere in between, appr. 400Mhz.
Obviously the Atom now works alot slower.
I've contacted Expansys where I bought it, and it depends on the "situation" whether it will be repaired or swapped right away.
Can someone please confirm that the problem does NOT occur with the XP-02 battery and using 'Best Performance' as CPU profile? If this the case I can ask Expansys to just swap the battery.
Thanks in advance,

i have same problem ,
my battery drain 80% to 50% around 6 hour that i just let it standby...
i dunt use my phone...
any one help me solve this problem ??
then how to upgrade ROM ???
Hi guys, I finally sorted my issues with the disappearing radio, but now it seems I have another issue.
Starting 2 days ago my battery just started draining like crazy, I'm lucky to get an hour or 2 of use out of the thing.
I noticed when I plug it in to charge it it takes forever and the device gets extremely hot. The battery is so hot you can almost burn yourself when you touch it. Maybe its just my imagination, but it seems to swell slightly when it gets very hot as well.
Obviously I have stopped using my device as I am worried about the battery catching fire after all the Lion battery issues lately.
Just wondering if anyone else had experienced this? Is the battery covered by any type of warranty?
I'm sure I need a new battery and I'm hoping that will fix the issue, hopefully its not some internal problem that is causing it to overheat.
Thanks in advance,
-Kai
Have you backed up your device and hard reset to rule out any software issues? I've run into this before, and there was something running on my device that cause the battery to drain VERY quickly. Never figured out what it was, but after a hard reset and reinstall, everything was fine.
I've had similar issues since putting black 3.01 on, draining anyway, not overheating as yet. I have stopped the battery draining by instaling Daniel Herrero's Bandswitch and setting it to gsm during the day, it seems to switch between gprs and hsdpa more frequently now with 3.01 which drains the battery enormously. Havent done a hard reset yet though.
you should feel my battery after tethering for hours, sigh....
Hmmm, mine spends half the day tethered at work, no heat issues thus far (apart from one time I left it under my pillow (too much Jack) and the heat woke me up (Not a great way to ease into a hangover)). I only ever have battery drain issues.
Yeah I dont think its a software issue as I have done several hard resets, and tried it with a couple of different Rom's and radio's, with no other software installed.
As for the 3g draining the battery, I have my phone set to only use Quadband, not UMTS or 3G.
I'm hoping to pick up a new battery tomorrow and maybe that will solve my problem.
I wonder if I might be able to get a new battery for free from HTC? I'm going to send them an email and see what they say.
-Kai
same problem here
Hey invictive,
i have the same problem, and am also thinking about buying a new battery. plz let me know how the new battery work.
thx
I've just had the same problem. It was red hot in my belt clip & bat low warning.
Mines only 3 months old, been fine until now.
There were a lot of apps running incldung camera & wifi.
I'm going to charge again & close all apps, see if its ok.
had the same problem with my first tytn. called htc support (germany) and they told me that this behavior is not normal (obvious)
i recieved a free replacement, allthough i had to send in my tytn and not only the battery.
edit:
it was even worse with wifi turned on...
Hi,
I've got an idea to "fix" battery drain in WP7, as well as with Android.
I can't really assure you how much it's working as I do this each time I install WP7 since the first version of MAGLDR is out.
I started doing this because I had battery problems with magldr.
Here is the trick : In fact, when you install MAGLDR, Windows Phone 7 / Android, or even update WP7, the battery is not charging but draining (that kind of procedure eats a lot of power). But even if the installation ends with a 40% charge, the OS will be sure, at first start that it's almost 100% charged.
I think it's a reason why the battery goes empty faster than with Windows Mobile. It was default OS, with default configuration etc. so 100% was 100%.
So I think we must, at least once, charge the battery outside of the phone, with a dedicated charger. In that way, when WP7 will start, it will see the fully charged battery (100%, for real).
I think the OS will know, when the battery will be discharged, the real capacity from 100 to 0.
I hope it will help, and that I'm not wrong as I don't experience any real battery drain if I do this + camera trick since first version of WP7, and with any Android rom (except MIUI).
Hi
My solution is close to yours.
After each flash I let drop my battery until the phone died and you can't restart it under WP7
next I start to charge it under MARGL 5 min then i start WP7 and let it charge.
Now i'm sure that the phone have a good battery calibration.
My HD2, 2 years old, and with camera trick can stay 48 hours in 3G but only 24 hours in 2G??? WTF?
You're not completely right here, OS would not think that change at first boot is 100% charge, you can easily check that by booting first time on half empty battery and indicator will show about 50%.
But yes, battery stats might affect battery drain, so there is a button in MAGLDR something like "Clear battery stats", reboot to MAGLDR, charge to 100%, click that button, boot back to your OS.
intresting therys
What is we charged up to 100% and did a hard reset would that make the probum go away?

Oh ok. Weird, each time I flash WP7 or Android, it tells me that I've got something between a 100% and a 90% charge, which isn't possible, after having installed MAGLDR, then flashed the new OS and waited for the first boot (really long with Android).
Nonethless, I flashed WP 7.5 with radio 5.66, and I'm experiencing a huge battery drain, even with camera trick & external charge.
Even Miui seems to last longer. And Android tells me that I have a 62% battery charge, and I restarted the phone on WP and it tells me that I still have a 76% battery charge.
Why don't I have the same charge estimation ?

well I can't answer that question but I would bet android is not the 1 that is giving wrong charge estamations in on bttfv2 and I was on v1 and never experienced fast battery drain I personally like the wp7.5 over the other os's so I'm dealing with the fast battery drain issue & random reboots as well I also think the to problems are related some how the random Reboots it never happens when on on a charger! I really think someone should go back to bttfv1 to test and figure out what went wrong when new registry edits was implemented or the new rom was cooked but anyway I read DFT is also working on a new rom I'm not sure if it will be for hd2 tho.
I'm really hoping the problem can be sorted on my last phone I got about 300hrs out of 1 charge but charging touck a wile on my hd2 charging seams to be pretty quick which might not be a good thing not sure. But last night I had it on charge almost 10 hrs after it was already 100% and when I finly got it off the chager it seamed to last a little bit longer
But on rough estimate I'm thinking it last 5 hrs witch is just horrible

Unfortunately, it's a mistake. I've never seen any "clear battery stats" menu in MAGLDR. But I think it exists on ClockWork.
It's a shame...
Battery life 24hrs+
All,
After reading the above posts, I started practicing the following;
* Let battery drain more than 90% or until critical battery warning appear
* Charge in full
* Power of phone. As the phone power off, power off charger ( ... this action may be insignificant)
* Boot the phone to MAGLDR
* Select "Reset" option from the menu
* Phone reboots normally
I have been doing this for the last 2 weeks I guess plus more than 8 charge cycles and now my HTC HD2 lasts 24hrs+ at any rate.
... I am not a heavy user, but still, I have OutLook, GMail, FB, Twitter running 15mins sync interval. 10+ calls + 5/6 SMSs a day in average. My good'ol battery keeps me happy.
... hope this helps someone ...
I found that it was my choice in SD cards that was causing battery drain. The camera trick got me down to a battery draing of -200. I couldn't understand why I couldn't get down to -7. WP7 "seemed" to be performing fine.
Switched to PNY 16GB class 4 and I think WP7 has accepted it. Have had a few reboots, but nothing I can pin on the card yet. My battery life is amazing in comparison to before. W/ wifi and bluetooth turned off, I get a battery drain between -4 and -7. MUCH better than before.
I can't get Battery Tool to work to check the drainage on Mango, but I found out that having 3G enabled, Push enabled (set mail check on "upon arrival") is giving me the best battery life. I'm using Mango since yesterday morning 11 am until now (it's 9.42 here) and I have 31% battery left.
Average usage (but it's enough for me) with internet, mail sync, twitter, facebook and some pictures.
for the record, I did not use the 'camera' trick at all.
When I disable push, and have email check set to 'manual' i'm starting to have drains and I have to use the camera trick to keep it low...
I know everybody has different results.. but I just wanted to share this, see if others can relate to this
Its pretty strange this battery drain issue, i struggled with it for months with the last wp7 rom i used.
With this rom i struggled with sd card issues like everyone else, in the end i'd bricked 4 cards of differing sizes and the onlycard i had left was the tiny 2gb sandisk that came with my HD2.
Since settling on that card i've had no issues other than storage space and battery drain is a thing of the past which could suggest that card compatability is at the heart of the problem.
Its my guess that constant attempts at read/write failure may be going unreported by wp7.
Currently im seeing about 36hrs at my regular usage, i can stretch it to 48hrs if im careful.
My wifi is on throughout my working day, i make on average 6-7 calls and send and receive 10 or more txts along with a steady stream of people hub updates.
I'm happy in the belief that i don't have a battery issue, i just wish i had more space.
So much for my optimistic post earlier, one reboot messed up the battery read. 40% left and 2 hours of usage .... I give up
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
... try this for a change

if you fully charge (100%)..your phone in wp7 , it will show erroneous battery drain,...you can rectify it by restarting the phone, then use the camera trick.
if you charge till 99%.it is ok, but 100%...you need to restart

I haven't had that experience. Sometimes WP7 won't allow a full charge to happen though.
Something weird just happened.I was having Bluetooth problems.It wouldnt turn on.I then Flashed the DEv wifi plus Eu fix cab.It fixed my bluetooth but with some added treats.My battery life has more than doubled.Used to go less than 8hrs of normal use but now i hv gone 17hrs and i have around 50 % left.I didnt do any camera trick.Has anybody experienced this?

Hi Guys,
My lumia 800 on 100% charging shows the remnaing battery 1240 mAh and full capacity at 1470 mAh.
If I keep the power source even after 100% of charge, the remaining batter capacity is getting increated from 1240 mAh.
I am confused whether I should keep on charging it even after 100% charge or not?
if you put your lumia in bed while being charged, you'll found something amazing
Please explain.
I think they're trying to say 'charge your phone while you sleep'.
If not, then they might need a therapist.
Getting the new firmware this weekend at nokia care. Will see the performance after that. Currently i am getting 12-15 hours with edge is always on.

Hi,
I always see people using the diagnostic tool "battery status". I've a "Detailed Battery Info" - section in the diagnostic tools too, and there are much more informations including a (as far as I know) never discussed "StateOfHealth".(see attached picture 1) I myself have no problems with my battery at all, and my value of StateofHealth is at 858. Interesting to know, what values people have, that claim problem with battery.

Lumia 800 Battery Life
With regard to the above comments, when i got the phone the battery life was so so. After downloading the latest firmware update it seemed to get a lot worse. One day it didn't make it all the way through & that was after just a handful of phone calls and a handful of texts. So I did the hard reset & suddenly the battery was great. I was using the battery saver admittedly (owing to the loss of confidence) but last night it reported I still had one and a half days charge left and had used about 30%. I would therefore very strongly recommend doing a hard reset once you have the latest update. I know it's a bind but if like me you have all your contacts and calendar synced to Outlook via the Outlook connector it's not so bad. The contacts & calendar just reappeared on the phone as if by magic once I put my Hotmail password in. I'll obviously be monitoring the battery for a while because it let me down at work before I reset it, but I'm pleased to say that I love it again now & would recommend it to anyone. It's a gorgeous phone.
Okey. Here are some numbers. We like numbers, as they don't lie or making things up.
Before factory reset my Current (Discharging) was around 180.
After factory reset it finds itself around 140.
I've tried with and without wifi, with and without data connection, both before and after the factory reset.
I guess it's like someone mentioned. Some application got stuck and caused the battery drain.
I'm going to reinstall my apps I had before and after each installation check the battery drain to see wich application is causing it.
A good OS shouldn't encounter problems like this. Nokia and Microsoft needs to work on the stability. The Lumia 800 AND the OS has a great potential but still lacks on several functions and stability.
I don´t have this problems.
I charged my phone yesterday evening (22 hours ago)
and still have 75% and 1d 5h left.
I phoned a little bit an was a few times online (Wlan)
Browser and Marketplace
The Phone is new and I hope the battery will get better.
I updated it, before testing batterylife on old version.
But it isn´t as good as my last phone:
my htc Trophy made about 5 Days if i used it like my lumia now
I don´t installed the app you all use to test your battery
(sometimes i think this is the app, that drains your battery,
because it is not wp7 that needs a lot of battery, my last wp7 phone had a small battery an very long live)
and...
.. i have no problem with loose buttons.
Factiry reset
Well I finaly took the plunge and did the reset. I now have a normal working battery (at least for now). Wish I had done this earlier.
I strongly recommend that anyone with battery problems does the same.

I have got a massive increase in battery life and am not quite sure how.
I uninstalled the diagnostics app and it seemed to go downhill from there (sure it's a coincidence though). At this point battery life was a joke, couldn't get through the day with light use. The other change at the same time that could have had an effect was switching to use the Nokia charger rather than the one from my Galaxy S.
I reinstalled the diagnostics app and also turned 3G off (work and home both have wifi). However, I have now turned it back on, and since then battery life is much better and the phone now easily gets through the day.
Maybe try toggling 3G off for a day and an overnight charge and turn it back on and see if it makes a difference.
There is something wrong at the driver level with this phone I'm sure.
My phone has been fine ever since the battery life jumped up, it's not a fluke.
I made 27 hours with heavy usage (wifi+3g+games+constant fb)
Mine has made 3 days and 14 hours (Not that heavy usage. Mostly texting and some calls) and it's got 18% left.
OK,
I read too much different views...
Tomorrow my new Lumia is coming
I am able to check it before do the payment.
So, what I have to do? To look in the menu for diagnostic tool or to dial ##634#?
Is it that the right combination?
Or just to pay it and to let it die without battery, then hoping to turn itself on with good battery life?
Please give me some advise..!

Have you noticed what app was causing it? Before my restore i had 14-17h left according to the phone. After the reset i had 36h left according to the phone...now 3 days later i´m back at 16h. It lasted for 2 days the good battery life...
Hello! I'm having issues with my Dell Venue 8 7840 tablet battery. So far it seems like an weird problem that i can't find people with similar issues anywhere, or maybe am not searching the right key words.
So, here is the thing, everytime the battery status reaches 37% it turns off like there is no charge anymore. If I turn on again, it turns off right after. So far as I can remember it started at 28%. I've tried reseting the device and battery calibration, neither changed anything. The weird thing is (at least for me) the max capacity is 4300 mV, but when i was using (another) calibrating app, the mV reaches only 3479 before turning off, and the animated status indicator showed like it was completely empty.
There is an dell app that verifies if the battery is working normally, and so far it hasnt flagged any issue.
Not sure for how long it has been happening.
Bought: one and a half years ago
Model: T02E001
Android: 5.1
Kernel: 3.10.62-x86_64_moor-g774f842
Service tag: J7QKR02
Software: Venue 8 7840-user 5.1 LMY47I BBP803A173600DEL release-key
PS: there is a slight lift on the screen that i've heard could indicate a puffed battery, but it really really small, and it has been there since i bought. At least it doesn't look like it got worse with time.
If anyone could help me!
