Battery life it´s ok;)

been using the latest cell pro 13.5 and been impressed wh the battery so far with the latest radio

I have been using a custom rom build with Calkulin's Kitchen updated to 21895 for about a week and i can get almost 48 hours on with mild usage and mail sync to every 30min.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] shawndh:
I've been trying a few of the Energy ROMs, which I like a lot, but the battery drain is horrible. The best battery management seems to be on the stock T-Mobile 6.5 ROM for me. But I don't like the ROM layout. Guess I'll be trying a few of these suggestions. Thanx for the post O.P.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mehrdad1977:
I have tried too many custom ROM, as you said most of them are draining the battery.

But I have recently flashed Cell Pro V 13.5 with Radio 4.49.25.91 and I can say;

best battery life so far and stable. :p

I'm testing AthineOS S2 Xtreme with Radio 4.49.25.91 so far so stable and battery life is good. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aber82:
also here:

energy roms draining fast, cell and deepshining not.

athines also not.

testet many others but cant remember them exactly.

best in my opinion is deepshining .

i use radio *.91

push email, pigeon(icq, gtalk) all the time.

good roms last 2 days, bad roms only 1.

edit:

wow: my first post in 5 years! :D

I've been experimenting with the Energy Series ROMs and so far I like the following one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=562773 build 23549 March 20, I dont use data on my phone, just the WiFi, so I disabled all the tabs that require data (weather, stocks, and so on). I usually text, play music, talk, and use WiFi a lot. So far the battery lasted me over 48 hours, and is still at 32%
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] outjustout@msn.com:
I'm using the ATT e2 Rom and it is by far the best battery life I've seen. I went so as to loading a new battery app because I thought mine was broken.

Valkrie 5.8_240001Leo is a wonderful Rom with great speed & battery life. My battery lasts all day with heavy usage.:D:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cr1960:
well that settles it then -I think we've mentioned every rom out there :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] schizo:
LoL to post above me :D

In my experience, no matter the ROM, current radio of 4.49.25.91 really sucks my battery dry and high...

Anyway, actually i'm looking for a "lean" WM6.5.5 WWE ROM, max with Titanium only (no Sense 2.5) so more free RAM, no HTC Messaging (using only standard messaging interface), minimal HD2 ported XIPs (avoiding screen and dialer glitches), optimized PagePool to minimized RAM leakage

But no Chef has made one yet, or... is there already...?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cr1960:
you should try the .77 radio. for me it's noticably better for both signal and battery life.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] asiancuta:
after doing some much reading and the recommendation of this particular topic on battery drain..i went with the Cell Pro v10.1 for my first ROM flash for my HTC Tilt 2. I've been playing with it for a week now and after doin some registry tweaks here and there..bootup animation, startup sound, and basic tweaks...i have it the way i like it. i have data/battery draining tabs off...stock, music, push internet, and weather. email pulled every 30 mins, i do heavy txting, basic internet surfing, and calls here and there. battery usually lasts reasonable amount. better than the iphone 3g i used to own, but not as good as the blackberry curve 8900.

love the interface and all of Sense 2.1, but would love new Sense 2.5's SMS interface and the better customization of the slider along with the Facebook Tab. but i've been spending the whole day reading up on other ROMs, the complaints, and pros and cons of the Sense 2.5 including the new HTC official release for Touch Pro 2. lots of bugs and complaints apparently..most slow and laggy and battery consumption is even worse since it's graphic UI intensive. and the top worse...Sleep of Death issues.

anyone have ANY good experience with Sense 2.5 ROMS..hopefully the official HTC release of it??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
where can we find battery draining tabs??????
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
Hi,thanks for recommendation,I am downloading eras2r's rom,hopefully it's as good as you say,then we will recommend to others.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Buffmaster:
I think Josh's black 2.1 is very good Battery life, imo far better than deep shinning(battery wise) however it is 2.1 vs 2.5.

2.5 roms I really like tpc's V7..Josh's 2.5 is very good as well. These two along with Deep shinning are my overall favorites. I liked Energy's but battery life is the pits.

I have not yet tried cell pro..just a disclaimer
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cr1960:
there is no such thing.

think about it - the things that are likely to use your battery are:

distance from your mobile providers towers (the further away they are the more battery you will use)

use of 3G compared to gprs

lots of data usage (browsing, google maps, weather/stock/twitter updates)

playing music, looking at pictures

bright screen settings

long screen dim/turn off times

If you are not getting at least a day out of your device it's more likely your usage habits or a dodgy battery than anything to do with your ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
thanks for this knowledge,it's food for thought.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
Josh's black 2.1 is far better than deep shinning(battery wise)?really? :rolleyes:I am impressed by Deepshining already,there is better one? certainly will try this Josh guy's thing next weekend. thanks for info.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] hskeik:
I use AthineOS S2, battery is very well !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aber82:
NO!

same usage but 1 day on energy rom and 2 days on deepshining! that is a real difference.

in my opinion is s2 good but not best.

now i am testing the cell evo and this is sense 2.1 (you know).

battery seems to last double!

so don`t compare 2.1 to 2.5.

i will go back to 2.1 for now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
i have been using WM6.5_21893_M2.1 by eras2r [e2 rom 20100310] for several days after saw your recommendation, the battery life is really impressive as you claimed.

I did a test in which i let HTC Pro2 play mp3 for 30 minutes,Deepshining consumed 4-5% battery (with radio 91 and 77),while e2 rom 20100310 consumed 3% (with radio 91).

the conclusion is that e2 roms probably drain battery less than Deepshining roms by about 1%. I have not done this test to cell pro rom....no matter what,it is clear that e2 rom can be added to the list of least battery drain roms, I have edited the post,e2 rom,you are in.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aber82:
so,

with my usage, bad roms lasting one day, better roms 2 days and the longest lasting rom with same usage 50% more till empty batterie!

its jackos oldschool rom wm6.1 tf3d 2.1 .

compared with an normal energyrom it lasts 3times longer for me!

first time i am satisfied with a rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
is this jackos oldschool rom wm6.1 tf3d 2.1 rom goes well with newest software?

many software are built according to wm6.5. :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lurkerzz:
i've only flashed my tp2 with mr. X rom, i can use it for 2 days straight, maybe 3 if i don't use it as an mp3 player...

the ones that you mentioned in your first post are faster and economize more batteries than mr.X and mightyrom ? thanks !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
hey,if i dont remember wrong,mightyrom is for CDMA version of tp2,so is mr. x's....

the roms we mentioned here are for GSM tp2,pls dont mix up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
just flashed jackos oldschool rom wm6.1 tf3d 2.1 yesterday,somewhat disappointed,i dont know why,first,the battery life is not so good as you said,maybe it lasts a little longer than energy roms,but 3 times longer? doubt it.

second,after using wm6.5 build for so long,you will find it awkward to use wm6.1,it's not so finger-friendly,i find wm6.5 to be much more responsive and quick when you operate on the screen.

IMO,Cell pro series are much more quick,responsive,bettery saving than this jackos oldschool rom wm6.1 tf3d 2.1. although i cannot say which one is more stable or bug free. cell pro series are not perfect,sometimes you have to soft reset to make some program work after you use the phone for several days.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] XERO_Racer:
how about the stock HTC ROM?

been thinking about flashing this to go back to old school and try it on my tilt 2 i believe it has 6.1 and TF3D 2.1

http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=250&cat=2&dl_id=629

any thoughts?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
I flashed several official roms,including Europe,South East Asian stock roms etc before,the experience were very bad,they have compatibility problem with third party softwares (especially of cracked ones),they seemed to reject third party softwares,constantly warned you some exe encountered a problem need to be closed etc etc.

I hate official roms!

As for their battery life,as far as can remember,they are just normal,not drain fast,not slow.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aber82:
hm... i used the recommendet radio and have the best batterylife so far.

i always use some batterycycles to compare, cause the first cycle is not comparable.

in my opinion the best and in the last two weeks i began to love 6.1, but this is really my personal opinion.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lurkerzz:
well, you didn't mention anything in your first post and in your topic, and besides... I'm new at this thing so i thought all tp2 are almost equal
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
hello,there is a Rhodium tool in the setting,i ticked Make Power Best Life Times immediately i flashed this jackos oldschool rom wm6.1 tf3d 2.1.

This morning I unticked Make Power Best Life Times,i started to notice the battery life seems improved, how funny "Make Power Best Life" option doesnt mean by ticking it the battery life will be better?

I will observe for several days to make a conclusion about its battery life.;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
thanks,I edited the post,warning people about this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJGonzo:
I laughed when I read this then went ahead and flashed it.

Gosh darn it its FAST!

Battery life seems to be better. The only downside is that its lacking in the GFX department and has some kinks... No major bugs tho.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] XERO_Racer:
just had a week of Jackos TF3D 2.1 with 6.1 and ill tell you, i didnt feel any difference :/

but then yet again i use my Tilt 2 as an MP3 player about 3-4 hours a day, since i dont wanna carry my 4g nano around :p

flashed DeepShining X7 earlier this evening, and w00pie d00! i have to head out to the LA in the dead early morning and wont return until the afternoon...lets see how much this thing can take all though the battery hasnt had time to even calibrate lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] XERO_Racer:
which e2 ROMs are you referring too? theres the Sense 2,5 and Sense 2.1/TF3D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
WM6.5_21893_M2.1 by eras2r [e2 rom 20100310].

I also tested his WM6.5_21901_M2.5 by eras2r [e2 rom 20100419],found it battery life is ordinary. so not all the roms from him are good at battery.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
I tried tens of 6.5 and 6.1 Roms and on most of them with my usage I could not go beyond on day without charging. But for those who do not care about Manila (using Pocketbreeze as I do or SPB Mobile Shell), Cosmik Debris in my signature, with WM 6.1, together with the last WM6.1 radio (also in my signature) has the best autonomy I have seen.

ah right,

you should try out this new WCX ROM im testing, optimized for Tilt 2 and its fast and i mean WICKED fast :eek: and i heard the battery is excellent with the .91 radio

doing some testing with this at the moment and ill post my feedback once the middle of the week hits
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
thanks,which one exactly,used google,it came up with this one:

21904_WCX_RHODIUM_S2_TILT_2 by WILD CHILD,is this one? what is your feedback after using it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] henh:
i've been using WCX 21094 (tp2 version) with GTX Theme for 3 days, i love it.

battery life is a bit better than others roms + it's a fast & stable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] XERO_Racer:
yes that one

my impressions soo far: battery is very excellent, lasted 1.5 days with music(2 hours), texting and 25 mins of internet usage, im running the ROM without any modifications because it has what i needed

fast and stable as mentioned above, it feels like or close to HD2 speeds imo
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lilstarkie:
I am like most of the guys and girls on this site and when a new ROM comes out I just have to TASK29 my phone and try it....I am no expert but I do like fast, nice looking phones with a good battery life. With this being said I know I have tried each and every ROM that has been posted on this site since I have joined. Here is my 2 cents (and its just my opinion :) so dont bash me too bad) :

They all have ****ty battery life if you ask me, its not the ROMS's its HTC....but for the most part .77 Radio had the better battery life for all the ROM's I had flashed. The one ROM that is standing out right now and has all around looks, feel, speed and battery life with Radio .91 (I chose .91 because for some reason the GPS locks in better with this radio and I get more bars with it on my AT&T network) is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=562773 Energy's Energy.RHODIUM.23569.Sense2.5.GTX.Themed.May.22.7z This ROM is just all around awesome. The looks is great. The speed is right on. The battery life is good. (I dont have WiFi on so that right there saves a ton of battery life)

I was really looking forward to Sergio's new ROM the Core and installed it but it just seemed to be the same as his old ones. His best to date in my opinion (and i still have on my laptop cause its a great ROM) is Cell Pro V11 21881

Again, just an opinion from a guy who has nothing better to do then to install all these great ROM's that are posted up on this website. :)

If you have not given Energy's Energy.RHODIUM.23569.Sense2.5.GTX.Themed.May.22.7z a try then I say please do and see for yourself. (Dont forget to TASK29 first and then install Radio .91 to get the full effect)

Thanks for listening everyone ;)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rawb123456:
energy

energy roms used to drain battery but the last few builds have been very impressive...i listen to music about 8 hours a day total and my battery is still at about 32% when i go to bed....if i don't listen to music my battery is somewhere around 65% at the end of the day. EnergyRom should be reconsidered.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lilstarkie:
I surf the internet most of the day....how many hours I really cant pinpoint...but I would say I am able to surf the net, facebook like a champ....listen to my music while going to and from work....and still have between 30% to 40% when i throw it on charge at night before i goto bed.

It wont hurt ya, give it a shot...check it out for yourself :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] forster:
I can confirm, but GTX rom is totally opposit...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lilstarkie:
Like I said before...I wanted a ROM that looks awesome...feels good and the speed is there while still having a good to great battery life....The GTX ROM in my opinion suits me great thats all...might not suit everyone that is why there are other choices out there, but this ROM is def a cool ass looking ROM that is not boring and does not freeze up on me when i text message or surf the net.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jedah:
I am getting similar results w/ my 21903 Energy Rom as well. I also turn off 3G when I'm indoors and have access to the computer for my browsing needs. He recently switched to the Rhodium-based sense (vs HD2-based), and it seems to be helping.

Just tried 21904_WCX_RHODIUM_S2_TILT_2 by WildChild for 3 days,the battery life seems incredibly good,drains very very slow,also,it’s very fast speed.

I thought I found a satisfying rom.

but unfortunately it has an unforgivable bug: each time you slide back the QWERTY keyboard,the phone automatically shut down or soft reset,even sometimes you rotate the phone in your hands,it will shut down or soft reset. Some people would think this is the problem of wire inside the phone,but this is not correct,flash another rom,this problem goes away.

(2010-8-14 edit: it is now clear that it's not rom's fault,it's actually battery being not positioned well,pls see details in this thread:

thanks,WildChild,I finally found the WCX GSM/EURO Touch Pro 2 link:

http://htcpedia.com/wcx_rhodium_series_90d389e01ce15e6ed/soft/htc-rhodium-rom.html?page=1

I downloaded it and flashed it,but sorry to tell you it has the same problem,each time you slide back the QWERTY keyboard,the phone automatically shut down or soft reset. please look into it what is the cause,I really think this rom can be great potential to be a classic that everyone should try.

Several months ago,I flashed one rom that has the same problem,so this bug is very rare.

Now I just flashed Sergio's new rom WM6.5_21903_M2.5_Core_Cell Pro v1, I was surprised that at the beginning it had this slide-back-QWERTY-keyboard-the-phone-auto-shut-down problem,maybe something wrong with my phone?

Edit: the next morning,still in Sergio’s rom,the problem is gone,no matter how hard I slide back and forth QWERTY keyboard,nothing bad happens.

NOW THIS IS REALLY getting puzzling.If other folks are using WCX roms,pls slide out keyboard then slide back with some force,does your phone shut down or restart?

But anyway,Wild Child,one thing is clear,your rom has very very good battery life,so I edited the post,your rom is in the list of least-battery-drain roms.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
That is something with your device, I have never had that happen on my device, nor have any of the people using this ROM.The reason I say this is something with your device is this, when making the TILT 2 ROM, this was part of the focus of building it@keyboard mapping,so this was tested thoroughly.

Thanks - I actually found it beforehand. Reflashing - the GPS is off (like 5000 meters) & the program icons are not where they should be IMO. But I can say this though - for it to stay @ around 55% RAM is excellent! But it's not for me though.

I'm using the Energy GTX white themed ROM, on an AT&T Tilt 2. I love it but the battery drain is awful. After restart it is fine like 60% memory usage, but inexplicably jumps up to 75 or 80 sometimes with nothing else running and weather wallpaper turned off. This ROM should definitely not be on this list. I also wanted to say thank you for a great and informative thread!

You don't know the meaning of ****ty battery life until you've used an Android device. After using two (the Motoroloa Cliq and the Samsung Moment) I am thankful for the battery life that I get on my Touch Pro 2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
it is now clear that,HTC pro2 automatically shut down or restart when you slide back the keyboard with force is not because of rom,the real reason it's very likely the battery,to be specific,it's third-party battery.

Probably the third-party battery is not exactly same as original HTC battery in terms of shape or size, so sometimes the battery is not positioned fully,thus it disconnects when it is shaken by force.

The solution is,take out the battery,and put it back again to make sure it's fully positioned without any room for "slippery".:D
