How did you confirm this? I had shadowmites 1.2 rom with a 48 dynamic PP yesterday and after 14 hours it was at 49%. Thats not any worse than I was normally getting.

Plus read above the test that deviant one performed. Did you not notice the difference was immaterial.

Because with JD's 24 mb pp that i had on friday lasted me the whole day with 40% battery left at the end of the day with regular use, and friday night i added the 48 dyn pp, and charged phone over night, and around 1p.m. my phone was at 30% battery life, and other users have also confirmed this thruogh there daily use.

Yea, Active Sync is always been a known battery killer.
There really is no way to kill it all together. The only way I can see killing it is to not install and when it comes time to need it, install it with a cab.

Page pools cannot necessarily kill a battery unless you are using them. Its just the reallocation of memory.

Talyn...there is a way to disable Active Sync...someone posted it awhile back on the Titan Upgrades Forum in the NueRom 3 with Kernel thread. I will search for it and post it here. I did this last night after reflashing to JD5.1 48 MB Dyn PP. I will monitor my battery usage today since before flashing yesterday I was running JD5 with 36 PP.

Edit:--I found it...here it is....http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...=37574&page=41

Im confused......It seems people are saying that the 24 pp is the best especially for battery life. Should we use the static or the dynamic? thanks for the help

I think general idea on the forums is dynamic is better than static. We are still testing and debating the PP issue. I posted earlier that it does seem to eat up the battery in my case.

Also, a comment on deviant.ones' experiment:
"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."

What if a higher PP causes battery drainage only when the phone is in use such as calls and texting? Just a thought but it is not out of the question.

I thought that I would weigh in here with my experience with a high (48mb dyn pp) and battery life. I am running JD 5.1 and previously was running JD 5 with a 36 MB dyn PP. This is my very un-scientific test from yesterday.




test started at 4:19

wifi - on
bluetooth - on
data connection - on
phone - on
listened to Windows Media Player for the entire period

Answered 2 phone calls during this testing period

48MB Dynamic Page Pool

100% immediately dropped to 98%
five minutes later it was sitting at 95%
After 2 full hours at 6:19 I was sitting at 84%

After more normal usage, consisting of a couple of phone calls, one over
hour long while connected via Remote Desktop...usage finally went down
to 20 percent at 10:19

any mirrors yet?

I think a more scientific way would be to look at actual power consumption, rather than the somewhat subjective use of battery percent, charge time, etc.

Yes. Use something that measures the drain.
