hello. i own a qtek2020 of french origin and as i am a real rom'holic i use to upgrade to the latest versions either in french or english language.
With this last upgrade, something puzzles me: i normaly rely on SPB Gprs monitor's batterylife indicator to measure what energy is left in the battery. Since i have upgraded my device to 1.72 imate , the remaining indicated battery life has significantly shortened from 3 hours and something minutes talktime with a full charged battery to 2 and a half hours.
Does this mean that the battery life has significantly shorted with the 1.72 release or that SPB way of mesuring remaining energy is no more accurate with the new rom release. what also puzzles me is that i tried to switch the unit's battery for another brandnew one and i get almost the same reading.
IS this normal?
Which other precise batterylife indicating application do you use except maybe omega's one as it seems no to be fully compatible with my qtek2020.
Awaiting your suggestions, hints and answers, i remain
Brgds, Arnaud alias adhoc
don't have any problems with battery life.
I'm running i-mate 1.72 on my QTEK 2020 which has been through several updates (1.60, 1.66, orange SPV1000 rom, T-mobile 1.72 and finally i-mate 1.72).
I'm pretty satisfied with the battery life I have now.
I left my PDA with bluetooth turned on for the last 4H30 hours and got only a 4% loss of power, which means about 8% for a typical day in standby mode.
I am coming to believe that ALL SPB software has issues with 1.72 rom or specifically the Microsoft Service Pack 2 that is in the 1.72
I would suggest you remove all SPB software and see how your battery life is. Just check it in SETTINGS - POWER

May i ask you why you say this ( regarding the compatibility issues between SPB software and rom version 1.72)?
Did you have other bad experiences with some other piece of software. Do please elaborate, as i own, like other people on this forum, some other sotware titles from or released by SPB House.
Brgds, Arnaud
Good Day All,
I recently got a qtek1010 from a friend of mine who claimed not to use with ppc 2002 installed. I have some questions about it on the hardware and also upgrading.
1. Backup battery indicator always shows 25% even if i leave it charging whole night. Is the battery dead? What kind of a battery is that Is it an easy process to renew it?
2. My rom version is 3.18.04 rom date :05/22/03 radio verion 3.25.01 and protocol version 32S54. The radio reception of the phone is not satisfactory. If the signal is somewhat weak it is not possible to talk without interruption. May i have some improvement on reception if i upgrade to wm 2003 or 2003se? As far as i saw, all wm2003 versions in the kitchen are for specific operators. If i decide to update to wm 2003 which rom version should i use in order to get it work in Turkey?
I will be pleased if anybody can help.
Thanks

If you have read through the forum, you should know that this is the latest rom avail on this website.
therea are more atom life cooked roms available on pdaviet.com, it's a bit hard to read through, since most text are written in Vietnamese.

is there any diference between atom battery, atom exec battery and atom life battery? because i want to chance my battery Thx.
I have been to the o2 service station as my phone needed repairs so i asked them to replace the batt life is really bad so they say there are batt issues for atom life so he said that there are no diff in these batt s all of them has same specs and he said i wont get XP-09 but instead i will get Xp-02 asa replacement so i guess they have just changed the batt name from xp-02 to xp-09 for fun !!!! and i tried to find the diff from the prev o2 site seeo2.com but there also the most wierd thing was the specs said xp-09 but the pic said xp-02 so !!!!!
What I have found out that XP-09 gives a better standby time than XP-02. The extra standby is nearly about 10-12 hours for me.
Atom running Diamond WM6.1
hey brian where did u get the diamond rom for ur atom
is it ? cause technically the spec says that both the battery are 1530mamp but i have found out the the xp-09 is a ion batt and xp-02 is a lithium ion and ppl say that the lithium ion battery are more advanced in terms of life and stanby !!! have u tried using a xp-02 battery???

Upgrade from wm5.0 to wm6.0 and then wm6.1 has been worth the effort and it has definitely given new lease of lief to HTC Gene- Both Old and New
One of the issues which is commonly being reported is faster draining of battery life after upgrade to wm6.1. I am infering this not only by the postings in this Forum , but many other similar forums on the net.
This issue is being mainly reported by HTC Old gene users, if I am correct.
The reported reasons for faster battery drain are multiple. Few of them are
1. Upgrade from wm6.0 to wm6.1 results in faster battery drain. I understand W6.1 upgrade is must and really makes your gene fast, However I could never calibrate/compare both these OS on the battery parameter.
2. Manilla ROMs eat the battery fast.
3. Suprisingly and Interestingly- I also read (across some forums) even the SIM cards have also a role to play. HTC gene with SIM card of one teleoperator had different battery drain experience when compared to SIM of the other teleoperator.
4. SD card use may also affect the battery use.
5. Even there is one suggestion, we should never flash a mobile when SIM is in. It may damage the SIM. Have anybody experienced this? I have flashed my gene mutliple times with always the SIM Card in HTC gene and I faced no issues (was I not doing the right thing)
All WM 6.1 users may have varied opinions on Battery life issue.

I have always been flashing ROM with the SIM in the mobile...can someone confirm if we do have to remove the sim while flashing...
Sumit,ankit,Ramersonw whats your thought on this...
Flashing Correct Roms never damage sim cards. And the reason why SDCard is recommended to be removed is because in some firmware, mostly in old gene, the bootloader gets stuck when it enconters RUU connection from both cable as well as an SD Card, which as you might know can also be used to flash ROMs. this problem is not seen in New GENE (as far as i know). But sim cards have nothing to do with flashing, i can say this after 800+ flashes i have done.
Ya, you are correct I also did not face any issue flashing the ROM with SIM on. I mentioned this in my post, as I saw this one of the suggestion/view from someone on some forum.
BTW could anybody share has upgrade from WM5 to WM6.1 seen substantial battery experience?
I find WM6.1 a much improved ROM , but is it correct that WM5 ROM are more battery friendly?
^I dont quiet agree with the battery thing. There is something wrong with the old gene XIP that chefs in this forum including me have got. Because, the problem doesnt exists on New Gene. I think, if we can find a WM 6 rom for old gene and then use its XIP to port 6.1 ROMs, battery problem will be solved. I am deeply investigating this issue and its got something to do with Filesystem drivers and filters, that i am sure. lets see
i think its just the Phone
hi
this is what i feel is the reason for batt life
i think it is about usage i think this is not designed for a person like me who is in sales and has heavy call in comming and outgoing i did not feel any batt problem when i was using non WM phone so may be WM os takes up a lot of batt is what i feel u see the whole of last week i was using my spare Motorola ( non WM)and the batt life was great 2 days and its an old mobile
so my feeling is this phone isnt made for heavy phone user its for light users who are at office and have the option of recharging the batt as an when they want
pls not im one of those guys who has changed my phone in every 6 months and the last one was this gene (hope i dont change again cant afford anymore )
the above is my feeling after using almost every brand of Non WM and now using WM phone

No Hari, that is not the case. I talk to my girlfriend hours with this phone, still i get 2 days of backup. Its just because of the battery issue we are having for old gene.
Sumit,
True something is amiss in ROM for OLD GENE. I find your V1.04 much battery friendly but a more sophisticated version V2.0 hard on battery.
Is it that newer builds may have some compatability/hardware issue with OLD Gene or some features actually not meant for OLD Gene are hard on battery life?
Remember HTC 3400 (OLD GENE) has only been launched with WM5.0 and officially no ROM upgrade has been given by them
People like you have and some great developers /contributors have kept the HTC gene live
BTW during these discussions if we are able to find some tweaks for battery issues that will be great and will really help all of us.
Sumit,
I am Agree with u. I also use my new Gene with Ur's 6.1 V2 R1, and also I am Is in sales and doing a lots of call, checking lotus Note Mail. My Battery Life is fine. It goes hole day..

Hi buddy i am just sharing my experience here i have tried lomlom's fusion ROM in the past ....i have been using it for at least a good 3 months or so which is a manila ROM and i have not seen any decrease in battery performance and to mention i have a OLD gene...so i don't think that Manila ROM's eat the battery fast...
Re: Battery Life Vs Network
One thing you guys are missing out is battery life is directly dependent on the signal strength, the worse the strength, the more battery the device will eat up, trying always to get a good signal. When I am travelling on train, my battery wont last even 12 hours . Even without talking. So take a note of that too. And my personal experience with AirTel is that network quality is very poor, as far as Kolkata goes, where as Vodafone has the best quality, so whenever I put in my Vodafone SIM, my battery life automatically increases. Please note that even if your signal is showing 100%, it may not be actual. As most of you must have noticed, the moment you make a call or recieve a call, signal strength drops (not always though). For example in my office (With airtel), the signal strength is always 100%, but to attend a call, everyone has to run out of the office .
You have a very good point there Shaunak
i think u did not get wat i meant @Krazy
hi
what i meant is their are 8XXX and 7xxx old gene mine is a 8xxx old gene
what i meant is pls chek if this batt problem is with the users of 8XXX old gene or 7XXX old gene because im having no battery problem with any of ur Prouser roms so thought if may be we can clear it out it might help u
its not about my phone and ur phone(we are both using 8xxx) im asking could it be about 8xxx and 7xxx old gene just a suggestion on an area we can chek on

@hari : Oh, i did not got what you intended. Sorry, and thanks for enlightening me
@everyone: Yeah, so far we have tried checked ONBL, SPL and GSM versions but they dont tell anything about which gene is having battery problems and which don't. I request people to try posting the serial nos also if they are having battery problem.
Registry tweaks for battery
Hi all,
I was wondering whether the various regsitry tweaks for battery power usage work. I found some of them while browsing some of the forums
As said while illustrating these tips " I owe No Responsibility for any damage"
I just found them on the forums, am using them and sharing them to you. I will share my experience and request you to use them at your own risk.
1. HKLM\Comm\AsyncMac1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0
2. HKLM\Comm\Irsir1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0
3. HKLM\Comm\PPTP1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0
4. HKLM\Comm\L2TP1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0
5. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Cl ass\SDMemory_Class]
"DisablePowerManagement" = dword : 0
Good Luck.
These tweaks are already there in Schaps Advance Config Tool, just for enlightenment of everyone
Krazy thats great. I somewhow missed it. However I find by default these are disabled.
My experience is the tweaks work and are worth a try (enable the power management features).
Ya, by default for some strange reason, they are disabled. I'll try to find on the net if there is any reason for this. I have turned these on, and checking performance. Lets see.
BTW, .NET programmers here should check out a software called Pocket C#, its a compiler and IDE using which you can create .NET software on the phone itself, i really liked it. I made a small puzzle program using it on my phone itself

Wow, thanks god! Finally there's someone has reply my thread. I'll try it and thanks anyway but i mean it's just only for 1st O2 XDA old Atom Black and not for O2 XDA Atom Life or O2 XDA Atom Exec!
Is there anyone knows again clean & stable WM6.5 ROM in low battery consumption for O2 XDA Atom?
I am using 6.1 from PDAVIET (Medkid) and so far is the best ROM in my opinion for O2 XDA Atom Life. I did not found a similar performing ROM in 6.5. I had to flash again and again to Medkid6.1 after flashing any 6.5 ROM.
I really don't think there is a good performing ROM in 6.5 as I'm yet to find one. I'm just sticking with 6.1 until something better is available.

Brew,
Well, most of the available WM6.5 for Atom have the bluetooth issue, being not able to send but receiving ok. Anyway, if you like clean and pretty much stable WM6.5, you can try Helloworld's B4 version and also a "tweak" version of the same ROM by Glossyx...so far this ROM's most clean, reliable and good battery life......
