Are connected to 3G or Edge connection continuosly? If so then that is probably part of your problem. The 8525 has a history of poor battery life. You can goto the HTC website & download the WM5 ROM for HERMES which is the same as the 8525.

HTC - Touch Phone, PDA Phone, Smartphone, Mobile Computer

HTC/ATT did release WM6 but they only had it posted on the website until Febuary.

XDA Delopers do have the WM6 ROM on their website which is the officail one.

As far as know i am not connected to 3g or edge i have it turned off in my com manager. i have other programs such as call firewall, youtube video downloader and lots of others and i cant figure out how to get them off the phone i tried a master reset and that didnt do anything.

If it did nothing, then you didn't do it right.

If you did do it right, then you are not using sufficient words to describe your problem.

When i do a master reset will it delete all programs that were installed on the phone? I went to the clear storage icon and pressed 1234, is this the right way?

radimus

That is the correct way

If there are items that you do not want to install after the reset:
Do the master reset
wait and watch for the customizing screen that usually appears after you align the screen.
When that appears, quickly do a reset by poking the stylus into the reset hole.

If there are apps that are still present in remove programs that you do not want, look in the XDA-devs link for a clean or lite ROM and follow the instructions on how to re-flash your ROM


My current favorite is the Naked, Big Storage rom from:
