The problem you will run into is with Verizon, they (typically) will not activate esn's that are not in their system.
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
VZN will not activate any phone that is not in there DMD as it sits right now. i did it years ago with a titan but it took a LOT of time and phone calls to VZN's CS. what finally got them to add the ESN to there DMD was quoting there CS agreement. you can try that but it may not get you very far. tell them you got the phone from another source and you understand that according to there CS agreement that all the functions may not work but that there CS agreement states that they will activate equipment not sold by VZN. you will have to confirm this since i believe there CS agreement has changed since i did this.

I would recommend not to use gingerbreak, as I had loads of problems, I don't know wether it was a one off, but I experienced the following....

When opening camera I would just get a black screen, and the device would just freeze up. I would hav to reboot the device

My lock security option became disabled!! Couldn't set a lock pattern, pin etc...

And.... Pc companion wouldnt recognise my device! :(

Has anybody else had problems!??

I've just been trying to connect to my PC via USB for either ADB or Fastboot and neither are working.. It was fine when I rooted with fastboot and flashed bin4ry's method.. then I was trying something so I reflashed a stock ROM then rooted with gingerbreak.. now the PC doesn't recognise it at all..

[EDIT - Forgot to mention - the reason I was trying to connect my phone was because since I gingerbroke my phone the battery consumption has been shocking too.. so I wanted to start from scratch! and go back to Bin4ry's rooted ROM. ]

What version of gingerbreak did you guy's use?

Would it matter what version to use?
[Xperia Arc General] hung77:
I have rooted with gingerbreak some time ago and do have none of the problems above.

I did it with version 1.1 of gingerbreak

Root with the gingerbreak method is the best option right now, that way you will still have warranty for your device.

i dont no wether to try gingerbreak again, just to comfirm these problem or wether i accidentally uninstalled something with titanium!??

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergiu_07_07:
This seems strange.Yesterday after upgrading to gingerbread ( with the RUU because the OTA didn't work for me) I got a huge battery drain.Over the night I got a loose of 40% and now only 3 hours after unplugged and lost 20%.

I only took a few pictures and a phone call.

Only few apps installed since i got this rom since only yesterday.

Anybody experienced this and is there a fix?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crusoe86:
Hello,

I can confirm this.

I have also a high battery drain with ALL Android 2.3.* ROMs.

I use the recommend Radio for each ROM and I've checked the RIL to be sure the Radio is correct. But doesn't matter, current in StandBy is between 30 and 50mA.

Only if I turn off WLAN and Mobile Intenet, then I have normal values between 3 and 5mA.

With FroYo I can leave WLAN and Mobile Internet enabled and I had 3-5mA in StandBy :(

It could not be an application, because I've tried this with a fresh install without Google account to avoid the installation of external apps.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
you'd have to edit the build.prop and change the rescan time from 15 seconds to 30, 60, 90 or 120 (or whatever you perfer the rescan intercal to be at)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Try resetting the battery stats by doing the whole charge, lead out, charge, turn off, charge etc. thing.

Also, whilst not a stock RUU I did find it took a few days for the battery drain to calm down a bit. First instal lowest was around 50mA but adfter a fe days it went down to 4-5mA.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crusoe86:
Thank you for your help :)

What does that value do?

Is that the rescan value of WLAN?

The current stays high even if WLAN is off and mobile internet is on.

Only if both are disabled I get a low StandBy current.

Thank you, too :)

Yes I know this, and I've tried this every time I was flashing a ROM :( (I mean reset the battery stats)

After a few days? How many days do you mean? 2, 3, 4, 5 days?

@both

But why this problem does not exist on froyo?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Varies but on average I find it takes about 3 days to settle to a point where I see a consistent drain.

Unknown. It's not 100% due to GingerBread as I've only seen a handful of people complain of this issue (relatively speaking). I see more people saying how much better their battery life is after the update than saying it's poorer.

Doesn't help I know but makes me believe that this is maybe a Network / Radio issue in that the new Radio with GB does not play well with the Network. We had this a few times on the HTC Hero.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergiu_07_07:
Ok...i have airplane mode on for about 2 days.in those 2 days i almost didn't use the phone and got only a 7% lose.As soon as i used the camera(recorded around 15 min) it got down to 50% .

I will test it tonight widought airplane mode on and see the resoults.Also wifi seems to a lot of battery in comparance to froyo.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8igdave:
I haven't noticed these problems with CM7. I got 2.5-3 hours per 1% of drain in standby using juice defender.

If you are finding that turning off data etc is fixing the problem use juice defender. Even the free version will help a lot as it will stop your phone using data willynilly and instead turn it to a periodic sync. With the paid version you can have it stop all together during certain periods or increase doing certain periods. Aka stoping at night and extra during busy hours at work.

Should be a good fix, though it is only covering up the underlying problem still.

Can't really recommend the app enough. With it my phone only uses data when I tell it to (like opening facebook app) or periodicaly to sync and check emails etc. I do use the paid version though for the extra features.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weezin9980:
totally agree. i have been using juice defender for about a week. its been a big help. just bought the ultimate a few min ago. going to start customizing.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohit1234:
im using Leedroid 3.0.3 and i dont get any such battery drain..

tbh im getting a better battery life from GB than from froyo.. :p

on standby currentwidget shows me between 4-7ma with wifi on... with a peak once in a while..and i lose abt 1 to 1.5% per hour

with wifi off i get about 3-5ma..

i dont use mobile data much so cant really comment on that..

try calibrating your battery and try changing the scan interval in the build.prop... i normally keep it at 90...

i never used any battery saving apps, so cant comment on their performance either...

go to wifi advanced settings and untick Best Wifi Performance... that also helps a lot!

hope you get your problem sorted :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergiu_07_07:
Thank you all for the help :D

The issue was not with gingerbread...I just left my phone one night with wifi turned on and lost 40%.But still when I was on Froyo wifi wouldn't loose so much battery.Now I loose almost 2-3% every 15 min if surfing the web with wifi.

And about changing the scan interval in the build.prop...How can I do that?Do I need root?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dxue:
I'm also having battery problems, but mine are a little bit different, if I'm on wifi it uses between 3 to 5% with a peak now and then. if wifi is off and I'm on 3g, it's between 5 and 500 ma and you see only peaks if you check currentwidget. anyone a clue? working on ARHD 5.1.6 now, but problem was there since version 3
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reneftw:
I have battery problems also, my battery dries after 1 day of use. For example this morning, I unplugged my phone full from the charger at 10 am. I went into town, listened to about 20 minutes of FM radio. When i stopped the radio, I still had 98% left of the battery. OK so far. After, I talked for about 5 minutes, sent 4 messages and played for about 15 minutes. I arrived home at 2 pm with 75% of battery left. That is 25% in 4 hours.

I was on 3G, but with Mobile network off. BT, WIFI, GPS off. A few days ago, I tried running the Battery Calibration app, but seen no improvements so far. My phone is routed, 2.3.3 and has Android Revolution HD 5.0 RC1 ROM .

I expected the battery not to last for long, but this is ridiculous.

Help me, please!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vassilyk:
I don't know if that will help, but I sometimes switch to 2G networks as HSDPA is using quite a lot the battery.

I have a DHD running 2.3.3, and it's definitely the mobile standby bit which is first in the battery use screen (33%). It was true before 2.3xx but now it's a bit more - annoying in other words.

I have to admit, having to switch to 2G networks is a bit of a pain in the *ss, so I'll check if juice defender give me some good results tomorrow and will post a feedback there.

furstrated with the battery life...

hey guys,

so this is my first post and all i've done up until now was to read... i'm afraid not real solution has come up.

i have:

Leedroid 3.1.2 with the recommended radio and i ran the script for Full Wipe 1.5 and cleared the battery stats, i did a fresh install and then didnt restore from backup - just installed everything from scratch. i hoped it would be ok, but when i woke up to check the current widget log, i saw that in the middle of the night he climbed to 150mA and stayed there draining about a 1% of battery in 3-4 minutes (!!!)

what can i do? 'where is my droid power' shows only HTC Sense at about 3.8%

please please help... thanks!

AFAIK you need the sync, cuz it gives you drivers, but there's many ways, go click around in my thread and after you get the basics done post back in here. It does sound like your sd card is borked though, if windows won't even format it. Are you s-off? Probably not :( Can you get to ADB? does it recognize your phone?

WAIT.... you can use recovery? Just grab another sd card and flash from scratch, no RUU, no nand restore, scratch, it should work.

Just wanted to elaborate a little on this in case anybody searches for help and lands here.

The 'LINKS' thread Duce provided contains a link to an RUU (windows executable) which only requires the Android USB Driver is installed.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=800586

You can download an Android USB Driver package separately.

You can also find the HTC Android USB Driver here (bottom of page).

I have used this many times, even on computers without AndroidSDK installed, just the driver package (I keep a zip on my SDCard ~8 MB).

You might try and boot into a Linux Rescue Disk (i.e. RIPLinuX - (Bootable ISO X-Version))

Search right-click menu for GParted.

Run GParted, delete the partition(s), rebuild partition table, format new partition(s).

All this is done right in the GParted UI, just a few clicks.

This might help fix your problem, not really sure.

looks nice but the Verizon mount only costs 33.00 on amazon

not talking bad about the mount Proclip, just saying the Verizon one is good and cheaper and with gas prices... well you know :)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] URPREY:
Agreed. It's actually only $29.99 at the VZW store. However, the OEM mount doesn't allow for an extended battery, and the phone recognizes the charger as USB so it's hella slow when charging. It's an alternative, but not a good one - I returned mine.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] kivi90:
Slow charging

Thats one of the biggest Problem the thing with the horrible slow chargingtimes. When i want to charge my phone and i dont have much time lets say about 15 minutes and i charge it i want at least 10 percent battery and not just 1 =)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
That's a function of the charger you use, not the mount. The mount just does a passthrough.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] vavaud:
agreed, my mini-usb charger just charges. plus i looked at the location for the Scion TC from proClip and it is in a very bad spot. you have to look down to see where your going.

i already have the car mount and i just suction cup whatever i use to it. on the mount for the phone that has the 4 screw holes.. is that attached to the rest of the mount via a tilt/swivel ball joint?

cuz what id do is attach a ball mount suction cup to the TB mount and then obviously suction cup it to the car mount. no screwing anything in and it allows you to use one car mount for almost every device u have.
