BATTERY TIPS and GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING:

(Thanks to "NRGZ28" for giving permission to use his GREAT TIPS at this thread)

BATTERY SAVING TIPS

The first few days

• There is nothing special about this ROM to make it use more power than other ROMs except that

it is tweaked for performance over battery life by Yozgat Y

. After things have settled down, you should get a couple of days usage out of a charge.

• Immediately after flashing, you will probably observe very poor battery performance. This is due to the charging circuit having to reset itself.

• The battery meter will not settle down and give accurate readings for a few battery cycles. Give it a few days.

• For the first few battery charging cycles, try to charge to 100% with phone off and then allow battery to drain down quite a bit before recharging. This is so the meter will calculate drain well.

Recommendations

• Make sure you followed all of the flashing instructions to the letter. Especially the part about the hard reset.

•

BEAM

is on by default. Recommendation is to turn it off when you are not using it.

•

3G

is on by default. Recommendation is to turn it off when you are not surfing the internet.

• Backlight is set to high. You might want to change that.

• Don't drain your batery all the way down until it dies. Not good for these types of batteries.

• The GPS sucks the battery dry. If you want to keep track of yourself, consider something like GPSToday that only wakes up the GPS once in a while.

• Maybe you don't really need aGPS enabled. Disable and check GPS lock times and battery drain.

• Applications that run from the storage card consume more power so install oft-used or background-type applications to main memory.

Troubleshooting

• If your radio does not match your rilphone.dll you can get crazy bad battery drainage. Use the recommended radio or spend some time working out a good combination for your phone/carrier/location/usage.

• Check to see that some application is not still running in the background. Check, do not assume. USe the full Task Manager application.

• Check to see if the screen is still on when you expect it to be off. Soft reset can fix that issue.

• Some radios work better with some carriers and locations. Asking everyone to tell you what radio to use may not give you the best answer. Be specific about your situation.

• More stuff you should see HERE

If you have tried all the above and still can't get over a day with moderate use, you may actually have a bad battery. Try getting a new one that is made by another manufacturer.

General Troubleshooting

If you have any problem,

please REPORT it with ROM Version you are using

. But please also remember that there are a lot of variables here and the ROM is just one of them. You may have any number of the following issues:

1) a bad flash

2) an incompatibility issue

3) a settings problem

4) a large RF source in your pants

If several people all determine that they have done XYZ and have problem ABC it may be that our chef can do something about it. Until such time, you have some troubleshooting to do. Namely;

1) Flash the stock ROM and spend a few days noting the behavior as you add your software

2) Flash an MEMO ROM and use it a few days without adding software

3) start adding software until the problem occurs."
