All PDAVIET 4.0.0.0.6-Touch users with HUGE battery drain listen!

[robinhlozanka]

Hi, everyone knows, that 4.000.6 Touch is the best ROM ever made, but as I read through many threads and topics on xda-dev, it seems that probably about one fifth of all users of this great rom is having a terrible problem with its battery drain. Normally, the drain is supposed to be quite good, even better than on WM5. Usually about 4% per night, some even 2% or less.

BUT those with the battery problem have often 5-10% per ONE HOUR. The drain after wake up is from 50mA to 120mA and the drain when using the phone (no wireless, display at maximum level) goes from 140mA to 450mA and so. (Drain after awake is supposed to be around 5mA on well-working ROM).

SO, if you have experienced similar problem, please write down your phone settings. Mine are below and I HAVE drain problem. So we can find out, if there is something we have in common or not and we´ll be able to solve the problem. (it is enough if you post only your Radio (GSM) version, but for being sure, I post everything:) )

Greetings

I have radio v 2.19.21 and had battery drain issues but also with radio rom 2.69.xx. Usually 1-3 soft resets resolve the draining issues (and I mean _real_ soft resets with the stylus and not with ShutXP).
These problems seem to be related to the lockup-on-boot problem, the first time my battery drained that fast was after one of those lockups.

All that makes me think the problem could be registry-related, since WM6 flushes some reg settings when you do a real soft reset and keeps them when you make a software-induced soft reset.

[Sideburnt]

I had the same issue as Infestor,

Not usually any massive issues, although my battery does seem to drain quicker than some of the other roms I've tried, but once my boot screen froze my battery was practically flat by the morning ( it froze overnight I think)?

The problem is in the new camera app...

[robinhlozanka]

ok, I´ll try few soft soft-resets and see what will happen. But I´ve never had any problems with boot lockups (and I have flashed this ROM several times already).
Also the new camera drivers shouldnt´t cause the problem, because then everyone using this ROM would have this problem as well. Btw I think, that in 4.000.6 Touch are the old camera drivers used, but I am not sure, so I will check this out...

It's the old camera driver in the rom not the new driver

[robinhlozanka]

Well, well... After around 7 soft-resets (in different combinations) the problem seems to be still here... 135mA with screen on level 3:(

I thought that flash on Gollums new ROM may solve the problem, but Infestor is apparently using it and he experienced problems too, so it will not be probably something breathtaking:confused:

the camera driver in 4.000.6-Touch is really the old (supposed to be good) one: Camera 3.02.23018

Who will solve this is the Master of Riddles. :mad:

[gullum]

I havecome to the conclusion that it caused by SR sometime don't clear the memory and therefor there is not enough memory to boot the system so it just gets stuck.... we need an app that starts first in the boot that clears the memory or something like that.... I think that the solution we should look for

[robinhlozanka]

Hm, yeah that sounds interesting, but again, I have to say that my Prophet after a week of hard work and lots of SR haven´t experienced any boot stuck. It works with its memory very well, only my battery acts like water pump during summer floods. But certainly such an app might help solve even this.

What apps are in startup folder? might be related to some of them using battery and not getting unloaded when not in use?

Let me see... hm, nothing special. Only poutlook.ink, Services.ink and WiFiInit.Ink

Somewhere I´ve read about WiFiInit problems, but it should have been solved already I think.

i think i figured the problem, i had some occasional HUGE battery drain issues,
then my phone wakes from stand by the battery drain was huge.

i did a hard reset, installed everything except battery status, and everything got a lott better.

i think there is an incompatibility with battery status beta 1.04 and this rom.

[Infestor]

I had the problems with PDAViet 5 and 6, I installed gullums Touch v6 just yesterday and I have no complaints on this one so far...:)

I have installed battery status just because I wanted to know how big the drain really is. I wouldn´t install it if I haven´t experienced battery problems before BS instalation, because I like SPB pocket plus much more:o But maybe thi sversion is somehow strange...I will find out, what version is mine... it is 0.04.203

[alfOS]

i must add that strangely even when the thing is in absolute low consumption (hibernation???) it wakes up. and after the previously configured time goes on then it tourns off.

i know this because:
a) have seen it
b) ching battery status (i think its the name), that also has an up time counter, shows me that it has been on more than it should, 'cause i hiibernated it.

there you have a power consumption issue...

[mhpcande]

The BatteryStatus that goes well in this ROM 4.0.0.6 is the 219
The radio goes the 2.61 well to me
PS: Not English, i use translator, sorry by the annoyances

[far871]

battery draining is so if you use htc cam.if you remove htc new cam your problem should be fixed, but another problem may be begun,you can not use our perivious cam,because all things in it rotate 180 degrree.:confused:

[robinhlozanka]

I have flashed to Gullums V6 Touch and battery problem is solved :D
It is not as quick as Cloudyfa´s one, but still good and very stable - and lasts more than one day:)

[alfOS]

mine does get me into the 3rd day.

it depends on how many times i connect to my wifi network... or how many hours i listen to my mp3 gallery....

usually it last 2 days... using pda viet, and although the little thingy that it turns on ....

[Sebastian2691]

I have the problem, too.
My xda neo shows in the morning 100% and, without use, in the afternoon 8%.:eek:
My battery hold only one day without use, then I must charge again.

[Sebastian2691]

The Problem was the new HTC Camera.
