Yeah, I am hopeful Asus will work it out. What I was worried about is, did Asus even get it licensed from Sony in the first place.

IIRC, LDAC is supported from Oreo, but has to be licensed from Sony to be used.

Please help me out....

I got an 400mb june patch update yesterday in India

The phone works fine all night. But in the next morning. It start restarting on its own.

The screen goes all white and my phone got stuck in bootloop. And temperature is also in the warmer side.

Whenever its on home screen the phone is active for 2 min then it goes back to bootloop.

Please if you find any solution help me.

Exists CAF ROM for Chiron ???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ygeller:
I've been seeing sporadic posts in different threads about battery consumption in WM6.1 ROMS.

Well, it turns out that since starting to use WM6.1, I've noticed a dramatic decline in my battery life. I can maybe squeeze out a day of use with minimal use. If I use HSDPA / Voice / WiFi - forget it, I get 1-2 hours before the battery drops to nearly zero.

I used to get much better life out of my battery before.

I tried playing with different ROMs, then different Radio version - to no avail - battery life sucks.

Any tips / ideas / comparisons on how to get reasonable performance with WM6.1 or is this just my battery having issues?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I think this would be more your device...

To check this, go back to your manufacturers ROM, and see if the same still happens. Also try this test with no 3rd party applications installed.

Poor battery life is usually cause by either:

1) Applications using 100% CPU

2) Faulty ROM

3) Faulty Phone or Battery.

If you're tried multiple ROMs, I'd say you can rule out #2.

I get around 2 1/2 days out of the stock 1350mAh battery on my hermes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] compumad:
Hi

ygeller , i had some battery life problems with my hermes and i found on another thread some ppl saying to first flash the ATT rom RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship

and then the cooked one. That worked wonders for me, the radio version 1.54.07.00 is the best i tryed so far for battery life and network stability.

I'am using the latest PDAViet rom and no problems so far, with battery holding for 2 to 3 days with normal use.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] smarty77:
Please try another radio, i used always the newest en I got the poorest battery performance! Now I use 1.47.30.10 in combination with PDAVIET roms and now my battery holds a day of 2/ 2,5!!

Hi ygeller,

me too have similar issues pls visit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=392831 for details...

I have issues with charging too with my phone never charging full :eek: no matter how long i keep the charger on it get's stuck at 80%...

But good news is that I've arrested the drain now i flashed the PDAcorner pr0 V3 yesterday and through the entrire night the drain was less that 1%;) but it hasn't solved the drain if I use voice/data cause an 11 min call had my battery coming down from 63% to 16% ..

I guess i am gonna try and flash the stock ROM as compumad says..

I guess at least the charging issue is due to faulty ROM ( i hope)..

Thanks guys for input..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
I agree that I get better battery life with the 1.47.30.0, in addition to aquiring a signal faster. The BIGGEST fix for me however was replacing my year old battery with a good quality Li-ion battery. Now I go a full day with hardly any drain using anybody's ROM, of course YMMV :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] froos:
I am having the same experience. I tried several WM6.1 ROMs and they always drained the battery within 1 day. I am back on Schap's ROM now and I can work for up to 3 days with HSDPA and BT on. About 1 month ago I returned my Hermes because of a defect and HTC replaced the complete inner life of my phone. So this can be compared to a more or less new Hermes.

As a comparison, I recently received a Wizard as a gift and flashed it with the WM6.1 ROM of SNN and believe it or not, the battery lasts for amazing 5 days! And that is with GPRS and BT on!

So, are we talking a major device issue, a ROM issue or is there something I'm missing here?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sh500:
I've been on the current Shamanix`s WM6 Ultimate v2 FINAL [SuperStorage] ROM for a while and indeed the battery drains very quick- I've had to schedule Exchange email to be on for 2 hours now but a simple 20-30 min voice call drains the battery by about 30-40%!

I was on Schap's ROM but was waiting for his latest update. Will have to consider another one.

are u guys serious? 2.5days out of the stock battery?

my battery is a 1300mAH and i get a week and a bit on standby, constant txting wifi, screwing around, i get at least 4 days.

now that i have a 1650mAH i cant even kill it in a day (wifi bluetooth and gsm all going at the same time)

theres a 3000mAH battery coming in the mail, if im gentle with it it should last.... 0.5 months?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pr5owner:
you need to resync your battery circuit, charge your phone till your phone cant charge it anymore, then drain it till you cant even turn it on (no lights at all), charge it up again and it should be reading correctly.

here is more info about Li-ion and Li-Poly charge circuits.

see subheading "Guidelines for prolonging Li-ion battery life"

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TriAxisFL:
I also had a severe battery drain with several 6.1 ROMS. My main culprit was caused my certain applications not closing properly and running at 50%-100% CPU. The main apps were Internet Explorer, Windows Live, Poutlook, basically network based apps. For some reason the app wouldn't show up as running. It wasn't until I got a new task manager that showed "processes" that I found the culprit. I would make sure all these processes were "killed" and my battery life lasted a lot longer.

I eventually went back to a 6.0 ROM, as I couldn't take all the problems.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ygeller:
Unfortunately, I've done that without planning. I am constantly fully charging the phone - then it drains and dies after a few morning phone calls...

This doesn't help...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ygeller:
OK. I am flashing the ATT ROM to see what gives.

Already it's been a chore. I haven't flashed stock ROMs in quite a while - had to extract the NBH file and use in with a cooked ROM wrapper to get it to flash.

Will report back with results.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ygeller:
Have Flashed ATT, then PDA Corner Pro V3. I didn't have much faith in the voodoo of flashing the official ROM to magically repair stuff - and so far I can't say that I've seen much change...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
You put PDA into bootloder mode and the flash, no need to jumpthrough hoops.

Actually the AT&T Official has repaired numerous bad flashes for me, is a lifesaver.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pvs:
I have been a user of the stock AT&T WM6 Rom for many months. Before that, I had the stock Cingular 8525 WM5 Rom, and many of the cooked WM6 ones, starting with an early Black, a couple of Custel's, Sleuth's, and a few others. I now use personal derivations of the stock AT&T WM6 Rom that I have been cooking up over the past few months.

I have

NEVER

had good battery life on my 8525, with ANY ROM at all. Left alone, my battery dies after only a few hours. I have learned to live with this, always carrying a second (charged) battery, and I have chargers at home, at work, and in my car, in order to deal with the issue.

I must ask, when others say they get 2 or more DAYS out of a charge with "normal use", please define what "normal use" is for you.

My "normal use" includes checking 4 email boxes, one of them push, one at at 30 minute intervals, and two hourly. I use PocketWeather, which I have doing updates at 30 minute intervals for 4 locations. 1-calc updates monetary exchange rates daily. I make/receive only a couple of phone calls daily (yes, a BIG battery-killer), and I rarely receive text messages. No MMS at all. I utilize Bluetooth devices during my commutes in both directions, only use WiFi at home (another big battery drainer, but since I'm at home, it doesn't matter). I keep the IR port turned off unless I'm actively using it. I am on the internet with my device every chance I get, using the normal AT&T WAP access point with an unlimited plan.

I feel that with the amount of usage I get out of my device (especially Internet and emails), I can accept the poor battery performance.

But I am curious ... those of you who claim much higher numbers for battery life under "normal usage" ... please explain what "normal usage" means to you. I have never seen anything close to the numbers that have been posted by many.

FWIW, my two batteries are: 1 stock 1300mAh, and one is a Boxwave 1350 mAh. Both are well over a year old.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Superion:
I'm forced to agree with pvs. I'm in a very similar situation: I use the stock AT&T WM6 ROM, although I've used a couple of other ROMs and Radios before this.

If I set my 8525 to auto-poll my 4 mailboxes every 15-60 minutes, I always notice a definite decrease in battery life. In the beginning, I'd get the "low battery" notification before I even left work late in the afternoon (this is after getting a full charge the night before). In between then and now, I turned off auto-polling. I couldn't get any new mail unless I did a manual send/receive...but my battery life improved dramatically; I could get nearly two full days' usage out of it before having to charge at night.

I was fairly confident it had something to do with that data-connection required to update the mail, and I feel that it's confirmed: 3 days ago, I found a registry edit that turns off the 3G/data connection after being idle so many minutes (I have mine set to 2 mins). I can now auto-poll my boxes, but my battery life has decreased again...not QUITE as bad as before, but I pretty much have to charge it every night, now.

(Additional "normal" usage for me has always included using Bluetooth for a headset and several calls during the day, varying in length...around 30-50 minutes total talk time, if I had to guess.)

Frankly, I'm surprised at the people who say they're able to leave their data connection on all day (even if it's sending no data in certain moments) and see no appreciable battery-drain. This is my second 8525 and second battery, and my experience has remained the same.

I was going to try and find some sort of push EMail solution...but to make matters worse, I've been doing research and unless I'm misunderstanding things, it looks like WM6's version of "Push EMail" requires that "constantly-on" data connection. I'm frustrated, and I'm seriously considering getting a Blackberry.

If someone can come up with some alternative ideas, I'd love to hear them, but...even though I love my 8525...my patience is starting to wear thin with it.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bartybet:
If you want to leave your connection on all the time and have a battery for the day and night....Blackberry. My tytn is fun to play with and flash but for my email it's blackberry.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Superion:
Good grief. Is this the consensus of everyone? I'd hate to give up my 8525, since it has Windows Mobile versions of what I work with, plus some pretty nifty games and apps...but I want a device I can both work AND play with. So far, the 8525 is falling down on the Work/EMail end.

I've dodged the blackberry for so long because of 1) no touchscreen, 2) it lacks the versatility of a true PC (ideally, PCs can be used for work and play; blackberries seem meant primarily for work). Plus, I don't know if the Blackberry's "push" EMail features will work any better with my particular mailboxes (i.e., it may have to constantly "poll" those boxes as well, which may result in similar battery drain).

BTW: It's noon here, after 3-4 calls this morning (around 25 minutes or so), EMailboxes updating (2 at 30 mins, 2 at 60 mins), Bluetooth off, and having read 2 CNN articles (and closing it right after)...my 8525 is at 70% power. X-(

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wam7:
First of all you guys with email boxes to check regularly should try Seven, it may or may not be better than your current system. I use it now for push email for my Gmail account and it works flawlessly, much quicker than my previous solution. It also uses IMAP so it syncs your email box automatically. http://rapidshare.com/files/111908275/seven-ppcwm6.cab

This also does require an 'always' on connection but even with this I found I have pretty good battery life AS LONG AS as I leave the phone in 2G mode. It's not too bad in 3G/HSDPA but the power comsumption goes up dramatically.

The main battery killers are MAKING CALLS in 3G or sending data over 3G/HSDPA or when I am in a poor 2G area. When I was on the continent (Spain) I noticed that my phone lasted literally for days! (normally could never go for more than 2 days no matter what usage.) I watched a couple movies in that time sent and received the odd MMS message. I suspect transmitters push out a much stronger signal in that country so that my phone didn't work as hard.

2 other things to do are turn screen brightness as low as you can take it and stay in 2G mode as much as possible, ESPECIALLY for calls (unless video calls)!!

Use batterystatus plugin to give you an idea of how much juice you are using.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pvs:
Thanks so much for the suggestions, Wam7. A few questions...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Oleschuldad:
There is a reason XpressMail is also called XpressFAIL. It really sux. I use Seven also. It is free but you have to go to use the Beta software. It will also automatically prompt you to install updates automatically as well when they come out. And you dont have to use a redirector...which is awful...especially if your trying to access work email and your desktop gets regular patches pushed down to it there is no guarantee it will keep you logged on... and it works on Edge as well as 3G... I have had Seven for over six months now and have been very happy with it...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pvs:
Wow, Oleschuldad ... now THAT is a fantastic endorsement! No redirector, eh? That also, is an incredible enhancement, since mine goes out semi-frequently, for just the reasons you site.

I will definitely give it a shot!

Battery Status does quite a lot. It really is a very powerful little plugin. Here is an example of some of the things it can do apart from show you how much mW your phone is using.

Spiking to 477-1106mW during mail checking(!).

No idea if this is good or not.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ygeller:
OK. So I took the plunge and bought a new battery. My old one was ~1.5 years old, maybe more. I am seeing noticeable improvement already in battery performance.

So... it seems that after all it was a case of an old battery that couldn't hold charge.

As for ROMs, the mW consumption reports could be interesting, but for that you'd need an application that graphs consumption over say 48 hours to really understand what your phone is doing, then you'd have to compare it to a variety of baselines to see if you are doing well or not. Since we don't have this, bits and pieces of info are not of much use.

Thanks for all the tips and reports.

[MX Player] OathYvne:
Can you please give us an option to hide the video zoom button in the lower right corner, as I never use it, since you should watch the video at the resolution it's supposed to be in.

Also can you create an API for when you press search subtitles it will take that title/year and search for it in opensubtitles.org to give you the best results. Instead of just going off filename. Give us the api option for our app to send you the title/year info to then send to open subtitles.

On another note, give us an option for subtitle preferred "Forced"

Thanks alot! The player would be perfect after these options are added.
[MX Player] MXPlayer:
Thanks for your valuable suggestions. MXPlayer already provides an option to enter your own keywords while searching for subtitles. Have you tried the same?

With regards to your request on forced subtitles, would you mind elaborating more so that we can share your concerns with our relevant team for further review?
[MX Player] OathYvne:
I know you can enter your own, but it would be nice if you had an API for developers to send the movie/year to that field so it automatically search for that instead of depending on the filename.

Forced subtitles are mainly for English films or tv that contain a few forced subtitles that can be like some small Spanish parts or elvish from Lord of the rings for example. They are mainly called Forced or English Forced. Right now you give us the option to choose our subtitles that automatically are picked, but there is no option for Forced, just English. I don't want to have subtitles for the whole movie I just want them for the portion where the language they are speaking isn't English.

But can you please give us an option in settings to hide the zoom button on the bottom right of the player. It would make the player perfect for me and others..

Also can you give us an option to disable the up and down function on the player. Like the volume or brightness. I don't use either of those as I use the app on my TV, I accidently turn down the volume all the time.

Thanks!
