My BA drains normally. I have 2-4 days of standby with occasional calls and usage. The backlight auto-closes in 30 seconds, the power goes off in 1 minute.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Xeon:
Can u retest it on a WM2003SE ? i think maybe a short circuit with ur device or whatsoever
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Exactly...so the first post is wrong...the OS reads the status of the battery and it doesn't matter what charge status the battery is at when you reflash...the battery status circuit will show the proper charge percentage...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ramdacBlueAngel:
IMHO, ahassouna problem is due to BA hardware that consume more power than normal. Something inside doesn't work correctly. It's OS independent.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] :
more power

have you ever thought that windows mobile 6 might be more power hungry than windows mobile 5, it certainly has more features and possibly a bigger memory footprint.

if the system has more things to take care of, then surely its going to use more power
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Xeon:
In this case , it wouldn't be more than 10% consumption. He is talking about battery that isnt lasting for more than 2 hours...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ahassouna:
i thought of this, BUT it was working normal on wm5 and wm2003SE why would it happen when i only upgraded to wm6.

i have something to share though, lately my SD card slot was not functioning and could not read any cards as "my wife inserted the memory card in te opposite way". on wm5 this did not impact the battery in any way, could this be the reason why the battery drains so fast on wm6?

as in maintainince they informed my i have to change the whole SD slot to get any memory card to work again.

regards
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ramdacBlueAngel:
Do you suppose that or did you tested it with downgrade to WM5/Wm2003se?

I think that if you downgrade again to WM5 now the problem remain.

maybe only a coincidence.

Anyway electric problem in SD slot card can consume more power, but it's OS independent too.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] DANDANA:
Faulty SD-Card slot may kill your battery. But , as ramdacBlueAngel said, if you downgrade to WM5 or WM2003 the problem should still be there.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] dan.vdub:
just my .02.... my battery lasts twice as long now, after upgrading from 2003se to wm6.

good news for me i guess.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] xplode:
All the problems listed here are battery issues, i have them too thats why i ordered new battery
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jndscslegal:
Battery Dies too

I charge my phone all night leave to work listen to mp3 half an hour later my phone turns off and tries to turn back on but keeps on doing it I take out battery and leave off for a few minutes put it back in then the meter says it har battery between 62% and 50% left ? I ordered new battery but it was fine before ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ahassouna:
i ordered a new battery today and will test later on, hope it's just the battery.

will keep you posted, also will test all the HTX applications and softwares that are commonly used.

my SD crad slot will be fixed in 1 week so i will have a chance to test with and without the card slot fixed with new battery.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] sunish:
the device soft resets 2-3 times a day on its own...

battery is 60-70%...

maybe the battery is dying out... but why suddenly with WM6... with WM5 i never had this problem.

performed HR...

the problem reduced... but its still there...

will flash again and see sometime this weekend.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] fraser:
I have two batteries and I have this problem with one of them. The faulty one is a little looser and can be wiggled out a little when it's on the phone.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] acocco:
Hallo, i've found that my 9090 with wm6 when it's connected to the usb won't charge the battery but if i place it on the craddle the battery gos to 100%.

I've tested the cable with another 2020 and it works.

It seems that as soon as i've installed wm6 all seems to works fine and than when i've disconnected the device from the usb somthing happened. The day after on the morning the battery was still at 98% then i've reconnected the usb and in 4h the battery has gone to 0%.

I think it could be problem with the usb connection or somethink like that.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] sunish:
i know the battery is 2 yrs old... but why did it happen with WM6 suddenly?

sometimes when i work for 30 mins athe battery goes down by 40% , in standby mode its fine.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Thorgils:
Hi all correct me if Im worng but to your question sunish. Batterys do just go all of a sudden they can degrade quit fast sometimes often without warning as usualy i think its something to do with the cells in the battery and for another point most battery manufactures and the company you bought the device from will actualy recommend that you replace the battery after 2-3 years as that is the usual life span of them.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ahassouna:
just to wrap it up, i had 2 batteries, both somehow had same problem after upgrade to wm6, and before upgrade they were perfect.

to my amazement, i bought another one 1400 mah as well and it works fine, don't know why both died at same time although one is 2 years old and the other is like 2 months old.

my new one is working great.

so might be coincidence, i guess the real problem lies in the battery not the OS.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jitvimol:
Xplode, Could you tells us what manufacturer you've ordered a new battery,also a battery capacity.

I'm going to buy one and i'm interested in CS company.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] leondaphillips:
I think there's some mileage in charging the battery fully in the cradle before doing an upgrade. Someone needs to do some testing before telling you your speaking b*** s***. It is far better if we know for sure.

In the words of Adam and Jamie "this myth is pausible"
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] theformula:
Just stumbled across this thread since my recently updated excalibur is now doing the same thing. Battery worked fine until OS update then bam, afterwards it dies in less than an hour. This bug has also been confirmed by a family member who owned a wizard, and a good friend who owns a universal.

Same deal, after upgrading battery dies prematurely. Guys please stop saying those of us experiencing this issue are somehow less than sane. It IS happening, and needs to be resolved.

Now that I think about it, this happened after we all upgraded to official HTC roms. Anyone else?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ahassouna:
read the rest of my replies before insulting, and first of all i wrote "my opinion" and further on i explained it's not OS problem.

i opened this thread to find a solution and better help others not to get insulted
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ahassouna:
well i cam to think i'm insane lol, and accepted therapy by the "new battery" theory.

i'm not a super tech guy so i doubt i can test anything in a proper way.

hope those wizzies help us..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] oelapoel:
as far as i can remember.... after upgrading to WM5, my pda dies at 30%.

now, it dies after at 60%...

When I say dies, it means that it cannot be used for phone.... basically, it keeps restarting with radio off....

I am getting new battery today, I will test if it keeps doing that... I will update later...

I honestly think it has got nothing to do with upgrading OS...

FYI, I have used this bat for almost 3 yrs now, and that is an acceptable lifetime I think... anyway, lets hope it IS a bat issue and can be fixed with a new bat...

UPDATE:

Dudes,

Got my new battery, and I can confirm now that the reason of the problem is OLD battery. As I said before, when my old battery goes to 60%, I cant go on wireless and cant make a phone call - phone keep resetting.

With this new battery, I have tested. Wireless and phone can be used, even when battery goes down to 20%.

Hope this helps...

FYI, I got my battery in Surabaya for Rp 135,000 - equivalent to about USD 14.67 (using todays closing rate of rp 9,200 per 1 USD).

So boys, its not expensive... get a new battery!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] theformula:
Ok, so i'm not crazy. I have confirmed this with my therapist =) J/K

So here is what I did and it seems to be working:

After flashing to official HTC rom and experiencing the sudden battery drain issue, I decided to let the battery drain completely and put it on the charger overnight.

To do this I streamed some music over wifi until the device no longer powered up.

Then let it sit on the charger overnight.

First thing this morning I flashed back to WM5 and let my battery charge for an hour until the green light came on then flashed back to the official T-Mobile WM6 rom.

So far it's been 4 hours and the battery meter is reading 89% with phone on and me constantly checking battery status.

I may be wrong, but it looks like this does have something to do with the OS.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ahassouna:
i hope this is not true as i threw 3 batteries in the garbage lately lol i'd just kill myself
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] SilverSamurai:
i dont think there's such a thing as "official WM6 Rom" for our BA.

We, i mean all BA/WM6 users are experiencing that battery drainage.

all you have to do is find a better battery(1400-1500mah) or a larger battery (2400mah).

P.S.

guys... you're not losing your mind... it's backed up somewhere in your harddrive or sd :)

Seems To Work - I Just D'know Why

Thanks for this Ahassouna - helpful and well explained. I was highly sceptical - could not see why it could or should work. However, before going through this my Kozhura WM6.1 hx2750 was racing through battery and dying at about 60%. I downgraded back to WM5 - still the same symptoms. I then charged to 100% and reinstalled the upgrade, and the improvement was noticeable. It still dies at about 15%, but it is a very old battery and I just don't think that below this level of charge it can supply enough voltage to fuel the slightly higher demands WM6 makes of it. (Incidentally, I say "dies", but it doesn't immediately power-down at low charge level - it simply loses the display, and comes straight back up when connected to AC power without going via reboot. This suggests to me that it may be a voltage issue, as noted above). Thanks again for figuring this out.

P.S.

1). The Kozhura isn't perfect - it needs a bit of playing with settings - but it doesn't seem any less stable and seems a little faster than the official HP WM5 release.

2). For info., I struggled for ages when doing the upgrade first time to get into bootloader mode. I didn't realise that after pressing iTask+contacts+reset for the pre-load screen, you have to take the Ipaq OFF the cradle before pressing Calendar to get the USB indicator in the bottom left of the screen.

3). If you have probs getting an internet connection for Windows Live after the upgrade, first try taking Ipaq of the cradle. I found I had to download a patch called Windows_Live_10.6.32.2100__Fixed_ posted by Kozhura on the www.4pda.ru forum. It's all in Russian, but I was able to pick it out with the help of the site's search function.

thanks m8 =) also nice piece of info. you just put in ur post

unfortunately i killed my BA while trying to close car hatch, slammed it on BA without remembering i put it between the joint for like 12 times, lol

sent it to get repaired, got a kaiser as a replacement for the time being.

Friends,

The same things happen with my Device. HTC Touch. I have upgraded my Device from WM 6.0 to WM 6.1. After upgradation I found the Charged 100% after few mnts it shows 80% battery. I have try to find the solution for that but no result. So, you might be right that the reason.

So, is there any solutiion other than re-Upgrading.

Kindly help me out.

Thanks

Ricky
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] SilverSamurai:
following this theory, that doesnt make sense...

question...

what will happen if you bought a "new" semi-charged battery (10%) and put it on a newly flashed (on an old 100% battery) wm6.1 unit?

will that "new" battery's 10% will become 100%? since it's just introduced with a fresh battery?.... it's a possibility following that theory...

my tip:

just buy a new battery... extended if possible.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] mehulpatel:
Ok, You are 100% right, I aggree with you. But, help me out for the solution for 100% charged battery goes to 80% within 5-10 minuts? I have try to find the solution for that but no results.

Thanks.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
There aren't that many things that will drain your battery that fast. If I were you, I would just follow these instructions (charge the battery separately... although I am not certain whether that can be done in the HTC Touch since I don't believe it comes with a cradle).

Other things that you can check for are:

* Make sure that your IR connection is off when you don't need it

* Check the status of all other radios (Wifi, BT, GPS, etc) and make sure that they are off if you are not using them.

* Which applications do you have on your Touch? There are a bunch of programs (mostly Today plugins) that eat battery like crazy. Manila Control 1.0 does just that. It sent my battery from 100% to 60% in a matter of two hours (I have an extended battery (2400 mAh) and I don't use any of my radios (phone, BT, or Wifi))

Hope this helps...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] xplode:
ok first i do not want to offend anyone, but for me this thread seems stupid

My original battery failed last year and i bought third party extended battery 3200 mAh which lasted the same time as my original HTC one 1-2 days, it does not matter where i charge it (it comes with separate charger for it) the usage time was 1-2 days, i recently bought original HTC battery which is a lot thinner and lasts the same time.

From my tests it does not matter how charged is the battery on flash, it lasts the same time as it supposed to. I have flashed with 30% battery and when i charge it to 100% it still holds 1-2 days so this theory is BS. The battery has separate chip inside it which comunicates with the device and give information about the charge, this has nothing to do with any rom. Some roms may consume more power because the use inappropriate OEM software and tweaks inside. If your battery start to drain fast then buy a new one!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
True that!!!

That is why I suggested for him/her to check everything else. But the battery beginning to die sound like a logical explanation as well... (why didn't I think of that :D)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] markanthonypr:
As a matter of fact, on my Tornado, I re-flashed a WM6.1, and guess what? When I'm done flashing, my battery which was fully charged, died in 2 minutes after first call. Now, due to my daily work, and dealing with Industrial batteries(nothing to do with phones though, but my thought..), batteries have inner connections between cells. These connections slowly wear out with use. If a suddent unusual high usage is demanded from battery, that "weak" connection with heat up and cause that weakness to increase. Thus, battery will die out much sooner than it was before that high demand point. Now, can "flashing" be called a High Demand on battery? I think it can. As even though its only minutes, you are running on USB(remember usb is NOT charging while flashing). I would also think that while flashing, the phone will consume Maximum power(Processor working posibly faster while flashing, erasing and re-writing, etc). So if my idea makes any sence, its not the fact of upgrading to WM6, its just the fact that the battery was weak, and the process of upgrading caused a Much Higher consumption of battery, thus, weakening further the already weaken'd internal connections. Blah, done with my theory :p
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] SilverSamurai:
and with all of that said by the seniors.... if everything else fails... im still rooting for my tip... "just buy a new battery" :D

have a nice day y'all!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] markanthonypr:
LOL Yes, agree. Don't mess with figuring it out. Amazingly, battery's are so cheap for our phones that its just best to have a new one in our back pocket. One day I'll picture my tornado. Everyone will laugh as I do everytime I see it. I found a 2200mah battery to fit on it with a back cover of an SDA-Music, modified the back cover, reshapped a little under the hood, and attached cover with tape! Viola, my tornado last 3 days ruunning full blast and never complains about battery anymore :). Now, it does look freaking wierd with that BIG CASE on the back LOL

Step 1

Make a Huawei ID at the following

http://goo.gl/OlsI8a

Step 2

Log in and fill out the details needed

https://goo.gl/VEKvXY

How to get the product identification code ?

In the phone's dial-up interface, enter * # * # 1357946 # * # *

What you will need:

Step 3

Now that you have your unlock code go to about phone in settings and click the build number until it tells you that you are a developer. Then go back once and select developer options and look for usb debugging and turn it on.

Step 4

Enable Developer settings by going to Settings > about phone and click build number until it says you are a developer.

Once that is done go back to the main settings and go to developer settings and enable OEM unlock.

Step 5

I am going to assume you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer, but if not go to this thread to install it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118

Step 6

Plug your device into the computer and authorize your device key so adb will work, then type the following commands:

adb reboot bootloader

Once it boots into the bootloader do the following command

fastboot oem unlock 2062712452147427

Where numbers are put what you got from the website keep in mind it will wipe your data so if you have any personal data back it up first.

Step 7

Boot up the phone and set it up

Step 8

Download the twrp recovery image

https://goo.gl/53xai9

Step 9

Boot back into the bootloader by typing the following

adb reboot bootloader

Step 10

Flash the recovery with the following command:

fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img

Step 11

Once it finishes type the following

fastboot reboot

If you want root unhide this and follow the steps:

Step 11

Download SuperSU zip

http://download.chainfire.eu/897/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip

Step 12

Boot into recovery by typing the following:

Don't try to install xposed on your stock rooted EMUI rom.

It won't work

The system won't boot

You'll have to recover from a nandroid backup

You'll have to reinstall TWRP

That is NOT TWRP's fault

My personal, unverified, guess is that Huawei is writing to recovery in an attempt to, well, recover, when it detects a system fault
