JDTP5.1 and JDTPL1 with Custom Pagepools + Controlled Battery Testing Results

[1999TL]

I just installed NO2chem's battery driver and that was it. Works fine for me.

battery driver does 1% increments but the other two will display the percentage at top above battery icon so you might want to install them too. Up to you though.

So far I have tested JDTP5.1 completely stock except for the 1% battery patch with wifi and bluetooth on and phone in airplane mode at 24, 36, and 48 Dynamic for 2 hours, and actually set a timer, and here are the results.

After 2 hours 24 D Pagepool battery was at 92%
36 D Pagepool battery was at 91%
48 D Pagepool battery was at 92%

To make sure it was as accurate as possible I flashed rom with said pagepool, went through customization, applied 1% increment patch, turned on bluetooth and paired to headset, turned on wifi and connected to home network, turned on airplane mode and returned to clock screen. As soon as I had a solid white lite to show a full charge I unplugged and started 2hr timer. I did this each time so there were no phone calls or texts or unneccesary connections to data or activesync so this is as much controlled as I think i can make it. I was planning on testing the three in static but after seeing these results I don't see how the pagepool could be affecting battery life.

And from an electronics point of view, nomatter where the ram is allocated the chip will always draw the same amount of power. In a pc if you watch the voltage of your ram they are identical between a 512mg chip and a 4gb chip so I would imagine the same would hold true for PPC's.

Regardless I am still going to HEX 24, 36, 48 Dynamic and Static Pagepool versions and upload them since I know there are still probably plenty of people that will swear its different even though there not willing to do a truly controlled test.

Thanks for doing this!

I just reflashed to JDTP5.1 with 24mb static pp. I will use it normally as I would with any given day and post results later. Just a reminder, I had JDTP 5.1 with 48mb dynamic pp prior to this flash where it gave me bad battery life.

Well, just remember that "using it normal" is nowhere near a controlled test. Any random data connection that dosn't close properly or activesync that is constantly searching for a connection can kill battery life, unless your willing to do like I did and pretty much give up half a day to make your phone stay in identical environments then your results will never be accurate.

True...well, thanks again for taking the time to test and post the different results. You saved a lot of folks time by sacrificing yours!

I just don't understand why it went from full charge to no charge in less than 4 hours. I made a few calls, no YouTube, no surfing the net, had ActiveSync communicate with my Exchange Server but that's normal as I always have that running!

I'm lost at this point...lets see what results I'll get from this flash!

Thanks for putting this together! I love the % symbol and 1% increments!

I appreciate your work. But I will wait until Nuerom comes out. Nuekernel is the sh!t. You dont have to reflash your phone to mess with the pagepool It should come out today.

LOL, I will probably be using it too. Got hooked when I had my mogul.

Its the large pagepool thats killing the battery life, and many of us have confirmed this.
