So my parents decided they don't want to pay the tmobile bill.... So my phone is shut off :'(

I was wondering what's the best alternative plan I'm looking for something real cheap like 20$ a month I'm thinking a pre paid plan or something

My phones unlocked so I can use any sim. Tmobile has horrible service where I live. I'm planning on just using my sensation I don't need 4g, Data would be nice though.

So what do you guys think would be the best option for me?

Hi, i flashed stock rom to OpenOptimus and now superuser and other root apps are crashing. Before titanium backup and other stuff worked. How is it possible to lost root access? iam using P500
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Of course, the stock rom isn't rooted.

Root access is per ROM.

Going back to a not rooted rom, you lost superuser access and thus all apps requiring it crash.
[General Questions and Answers] drolles:
But you don't have to root your phone completely new. Just flash a rooted ROM and everything would work again ;-)

follow this steps for some reason if u experience battery drain in mango

1.- Turn off the phone and pulled out the sim card.

2.- Turn on the phone without the sim card. (Why?, eerr...i don't know!)

3.- Turn off the phone again and reinstalled the sim card.

4.- Finally, turn on the phone.

Please let us know if it worked for you
[Windows Phone 7 General] HRQ.SLV:
I've just done it.

I'm a bit skeptical if this method actually improves anything... :o

Let's see tomorrow how it goes... ;)

I'll post the result here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
The best way to resolve battery drain issues is by resetting Mango after its flashed. I did that with mine and the battery stopped pouring out like a rain drain to just sipping a fine wine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
yes resetting works...but the prob is sometimes the drain comes back...

apparently it has to do with push email and connections..

especially yahoo mail.....maybe the telco is not playing friendly with this one
[Windows Phone 7 General] majkeljj:
confirm, it works.

Data connection is the problem of battery drain:( if we've got data connection off, wifi off, location and bluetooth off battery drain is minimal, I can say 1-2% per 5/6 hours in sleep (during night) with data connection (during sllep) about 5-10% in the same time
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I did that anyways cause everything was amuck after the update. My HD7 gets like 4 hours battery life while browsing on a full 3G connection. And that's not a 4 hours of having the screen on/using it, either... Already tried a different battery, no change.

Yes, the data connection drains a colossal ton of battery, not helped by this phone's small battery size.

They need to add quick toggles for GPS, Bluetooth and stuff like that. 3rd party apps clutter up my app menu so I don't install those. Just need a quick toggle somewhere, or add the command to the voice recognition system ("GPS Off/On", "Bluetooth Off/On", etc.).

It's much easier for me to manage battery on the Vibrant because Turning off Superfluous features like WiFi, GPS, and Blue Tooth are only a swipe and a tap away. Not so much on WP7. I never turn off my data connection, so I'm confused why Microsoft added a Data Connections app, but nothing for GPS, WiFi, or BT. Just need to add in some toggles somewhere... that are easily accessible.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I don't understand how you get 4 hours when I play music/podcasts all day at work, text all day, use apps, and go online & my HD7 makes it through at least my 9 hour work day

[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
apparently sim issues in the OS cause battery drain problems

THis is a problem found , even in IOS and android

Wp7 should be no exception
[Windows Phone 7 General] EnderPsp:
I own a Focus and I started a thread exactly because I found a similar issue. However, the "drain" wasn't present in 7660 (Mango beta).

Indeed, data connections have a 10-20% negative impact on battery life compared to beta (at least on my Focus), but the heaviest drain I got from apps that run in the background. Once I disabled those, the boost is more than noticeable.

I will also try what OP described. Btw, how/where did you get to that?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
well i did it works, i am not sure how but such a procedure , may reset something in the phone

maybe some issues with signal.
[Windows Phone 7 General] HRQ.SLV:
Well for me it did nothing...

@EnderPsp:

Last week I disable the apps that are running in the background and I noticed a small boost in battery perfomence.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
i also did this at the same time

running the taiwan SEA rom

flashed it a few weeks ago

Tried restoring in zune to nodo

it seems microsoft does not want u to go back to nodo

anyone can confirm?

the phone restarts with the black screen of the phone connected to computer picture . Says restoring , then throws up an error and restarts to normal

But something peculiar happened. My battery life improved after this error message. not sure why..

has it got something to do with zune "resetting" ot "modifying the phone??
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Either you are lying, or you are mistaken and are talking about another phone.

Because Mango won't last that long.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I never said I understood. I just know that the battery drains ridiculously fast and I lost over well 10% an hour, easily. When it's at 67% the battery saver says 2 hours remaining, and it's not lying. It has worse battery life than a cheap laptop.

Unusable as a daily driver because it dies way too damn fast.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I wouldn't call it horrible on my Focus, but it is definitely more of an issue than it was with NoDo. Following the same usage patterns as before I am lucky to get 12 hours out of a charge, where on NoDo it would just barely last through a 16 hour day. So I either charge it midway through the day, or don't use it as much. Right now I'm not using it as much :(.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xflier:
I found change the Brightness to low instead of Automatic saves a lot of battery usage, I am so surprised.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Yeah but in daylight you can't really see it then. Which is too bad.

I actually would've thought that the Focus would have a better battery as they have the AMOLED going on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I found that out many months ago. I don't know if it makes a difference on all phones, but it significant on the Focus. Unfortunately, my Mango battery drain observations are with the brightness already on Low.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The Focus has a Super AMOLED screen, which has 5x the outdoor visibility and 20x the viewing angles of the HD7. That may work for that phone, but it would make the HD7 unusable for me outdoors; and I'm assuming many other people. It only has an LCD screen. With automatic brightness I can already see my own reflection in the screen more clearly than the actual phone/OS images...

this makes me feel better that I picked Samsung phone, I was regretting Samsung focus because It randomly reboot and also after 10-15 mins HD video recording, I suspect it is quality issue.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
i have my HD7 the last 2 days after the zune restore error

MY HD seems to be lasting much longer

at 40% time sinnce last charge 10 hours

[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I really have no reason to lie to you guys, you're really not worry it, far from mistaken as well, as I compared the same phones, don't tell me how long my phone lasts

[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I wonder why that happens to you. When I disconnect from a charge, it says like 17 hrs, and lasts, I got up at 4:45AM today... I didn't charge my phone until 9:30PM, granted I didn't really use it until around 9AM, & my usage today was "lighter" than usual. I'm not joking when I say I usually use it heavy all day.

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] dudeguy24:
My phone's been having the same battery drains too. It would go down 5-6% every hour and not even come close to lasting a whole day. What I did that seems to somewhat alleviate the problem, is I drained the battery all the way to 0% and I recharged it using a 3rd party external charger (ie not charge from the phone's USB). Now on 100% Battery saver says i get 24ish hours, as opposed to 12-13 before. I am seeing better real life results also, though still not anywhere as good as I had with NoDo
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
mine says most of the time 30++ hours ( 1 day xx hours).

using the stock charger

yeah everyone's right the HTC battery acting wierd at times
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
HTC has implemented charge limitation on the battery..
[Windows Phone 7 General] makman25:
When I upgraed my focus from mango rtm beta to full release, I saw a horrifying drop of battery use from around 18 hours of moderate to heavy use to 6 hours. I figured there must have been an issue with the upgrade process. I flashed to original Nodo rom and went through upgrade cycle to current. with fresh upgrade to mango, my battery was showing 29 hours of use. It easiiy lasted a full day. after installing all my apps, the battery life has consistently fallen to about 14 to 18 hours per day. This is with bluetooth on and streaming zune music to my car during my hour long commute. I've tried the sim card removal process. I'm hoping to see over 20 hours of moderate use. I know the potential is there. I'd love to know if the mango phones have these battery issues too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prdonut2k7:
Another way of having your battery last longer would be to sign off your life and facebook messenger that is integrated into the Messages hub, if you haven't tried that already. Having it always on and connected is a decent drain on the battery
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Yes, I am signed out in the messages hub. I have been since the second day after Mango's release. The one day that I did leave myself signed in, I got less than 12 hours on a charge, even with very light usage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
That's odd cause most of the HUBs don't actually update the UI elements until you get in them (then they will pull data down), but I think most of them are actually overusing the cell radio in the background (background tasks, live tiles, etc.). That may also explain why some people on other forums experience huge icnreases in battery life when they unpin the People Hub Tile and why some people see a huge increase in idle data usage in Mango.

A lot of people get oddly high battery life because they're on WiFi like all the time. Use the phone on 3G out for a few days. It's not nearly as good. WiFi spoils people and gives them an incorrect assumption to what the real battery life of the phone is. Battery Life only matters when you're not in WiFi range. If I can get WiFi, I can probably plug it into a charger, anyways, which pretty much makes battery life with constant WiFi a non-factor for me.

What I care about is how long the phone stays alive when it's not on WiFi and I'm out and about (obviously I will turn WiFi off in those situations...).
[Windows Phone 7 General] majkeljj:
ok. I bought Mugen 1800 mAh battery I will try how it works with another.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
A question/suggestion:

Have anyone of you that are having battery problems with Mango tried to run a calibration of the battery?

i.e. You charge the phone for a long time to ensure that it's at the maximum level, and then continue to use it until it shuts of (ignore battery level warnings) and then charges it a long time again.

I've heard that it might help.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
i have done nuemrous times....the battery calibration

but same result.. HTC batteries only seems to charge up to 80%
[Windows Phone 7 General] thekiller99:
Well when i watch movies or play games i usually go to airplane mode which is good if you watch a lot of video.

Without airplane mode: i play up to 6-7 24min videos and my battery is down to 33% sometimes 20%

Without airplane mode: i play the same amount and have at least half the battery life left
[Windows Phone 7 General] Rare Earth:
When I first got my HTC Mozart, I noticed the battery was pretty crap. I upgraded to Mango and I bought a Mugen 1800 mAh battery and things improved.

I have bluetooth and wifi off, as well as email push to manual.

Currently, I haven't charged my phone in 24 hours and it is sitting at 34% remaining or approx. 13 hours left (I doubt that) and that's with moderate usage.

I usually get roughly 30 hours out of my phone before it's time to recharge.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
u will get this only if u keep it sleeping all the time

when u actually use it....it drains 10x faster.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ScottSUmmers:
I think you should just admit you've been screwing up your batteries. Honestly, the performance on my phone since NoDo and Mango has roughly the same (probably cuz of the cell radio), though a bit better with Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Don't be insulting. I haven't "screwed up" anything. The day before I upgraded to Mango I easily got a full day of moderate usage out of my phone on a single charge. The next day, it didn't even last 12 hours, and it's been that way ever since. Today I used it just a bit more than normal, and had to charge it after just over 10 hours.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Rare Earth:
Are you referring to the time remaining I had posted? If so, yeah I understand it'd only happen if it wasn't used the entire time.

I was using my phone light to moderately and I got roughly 3-4 hours out of it before I decided to throw it onto the charger.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ScottSUmmers:
Uh, I wasn't even addressing you, nor were my words meant to be even applicable to you. If you think they were, that's not my fault.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Smoothound:
Well, I can confirm the battery life on my Omnia7 is shockingly poor since the upgrade.

Before, I would get 24 hours out of the phone if it's just idle. With some use (usually just one call at lunchtime and 1 hour of MP3 playback on my way home), I will have plenty of charge when I get home. I charge the phone ritually on a night, and it never runs out.

So how about now? Well, I did a full charge/discharge cycle yesterday, fully recharged overnight. And took the phone off charge at 5:45 this morning. It's now 11:38 and the phone is down to the minimum.

Looking in the "battery saver" it says

Remaining Battery Life 21%

Estimated time remaining : 2 hours

Time since last charge : 5 hours

In fact, since I started typing, someone distracted me for a 8 minutes (it's not 11:46)

Remaining Battery Life 19%

Estimated time remaining : 2 hours

Time since last charge : 6 hours

I now how the heart logo on the battery. :mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] micfuna:
I tried the reset and went from 2 hours remaining to 17 hours remaining. Definitely worth losing the data to get normal battery life.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
After your reset, did you reinstall every app that had been there before, and configure every setting (both system and individual app settings) exactly the same way as before? If not, then unfortunately your effort doesn't conclusively prove anything.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
an OS reset does not do anything much in terms of battery life unless u are experiencing crashes or random reboots...

it just reinstalls the OS and return to factory default
[Windows Phone 7 General] Smoothound:
I recharged again last night, power cycled the phone when I took it off charge this morning (to make sure no programs are running in the background) - I'm now at 30% 2 hours remaining.

I noticed that the phone is very hot, so it must be doing something.

I do have WiFi and bluetooth enabled, but then I always did in the past. It's definately doing something new to drain the battery.

I've just gone into "Find My Phone" and disabled "Connect to these features more quickly" in case that's the cause :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
I have find my phone turned off in mango . But it still says connected.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
Turn Facebook (and MSN) chat off by going into messaging and setting your online status to Offline.

This is what, in my experience, rapes the battery.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Knochen1981:
Had the same issue with official firmware.

After doing the sfr-fr firmware update everything ist back to normal

Remaining Battery Life 76%

Estimated time remaining : 22 hours

Time since last charge : 10 hours

Normal usage, few phonecalls, play music for about an hour, email sync every hour, little gaming 30mins.

Im happy now
[Windows Phone 7 General] Smoothound:
That looked promising. I disabled the setting yesterday, fully charged the phone overnight and took off charge this morning at 5:45.

Time is now 11:19

Remaining Battery Life 19%

Estimated Time Remaining 3 hours

Time since last charge 5 hours.

Heart Logo has appeared on the battery meter.

Still pretty rubbish :(

EDIT : I have just performed the SIM removal technique described by Mapir in the original post. Lets see if that makes any difference :)

EDIT:

Just checked the battery after the above procedure

Remaining Battery Life 9%

Estimated Time Remaining 1 hours

Time since last charge 1 hours

So it definately changes something! :rolleyes:

Now charging!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
I do not think disabling the FB chat and Live Messenger will have better battery

[Windows Phone 7 General] jodywallin:
I have an ATT 3G Microcell in my house to boost my 3G data signal and my phone signal strength. For some strange reason, when I am around the Microcell (Samsung, Focus Ver. 1.3 with Mango) it really drains my battery quickly... Much much faster than when I'm at work, or in car, or any place else where there is not a Microcell. So, when I don't need the 3G data at home, which is most of the time, I just turn on WiFi, turn off Data, and I have good phone signal strength and a long lasting battery. Took me a while to figure this out, but it works every time. The phone must communicate with the 3G Microcell tower a lot for it to drain the battery so quickly. (6 hours at home equals about 50% battery drainage with 3G on in the presence of the Microcell). Hope this may be helpful to someone.

With the 3G data turned off on the phone and in the presence of the 3G Microcell, I have approximately 80% battery remaining after 9 - 10 hours.

I have a microcell both at work and at home and I also notice the battery drains extremely fast (almost 80% gone after 12 hours regardless of usage) - I wonder if there is an issue with this? Also when I turn off data, my battery life increases exponentially. It did not do this with NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
its the 5.65, 5.69 radios.

ever since these radios appeared, the drain is fast...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Smoothound:
Although the SIM remove trick did work once, it's not worked for me since.

That first day I got really good battery duration, but every charge since I've got the same poor performance again.

I've done the SIM removal procedure a few times and it's not doing anything for me now. So although I can confirm if DOES work, it only seems to have worked for one charge cycle for me.

Today I took the phone of charge at 5:45 and it's now 10:22 :

Remaining Battery Life : 34%
