Hey Slopppy,

1. Not sure how undervolting would fix the issue either, I'm afraid. :/

2. After reading your comment, I tried switching my radio to GSM auto (PRL) as well. Note that I'm also on Vodafone in Perth, just as it says on your profile, so I was expecting a battery boost like yourself.

What happened was there was immediately a huge amount of battery drain. I went from 40% battery to 0% overnight with no wifi, 3g or anything else on. Usually it goes down maybe up to 10% overnight (we're talking 8 or so hours here). Restarting the phone only reset it to WCDMA Preferred. In addition, I deliberately made and received a phone call and checked, and the Dialer was hogging all the sensor usage again. For the record, I'm on the latest LeeDroid with that M2 radio that everyone's using.

Also, it's *#*#INFO#*#*. :)

Also also note; it doesn't happen /all/ the time. For some reason ever since LeeDroid 3.3.1 it's only been happening about 3/4 of the time - still most of the time, but there are days where I check and am surprised that Dialer isn't in the list yet.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meatboy42:
Hey Flareheart,

I've heard the stuff about the bluetooth on the Google Code bug page too; doesn't work for me but others have advised that turning bluetooth on and off again stops the Dialer's battery usage, but only on the first go. If the Dialer's thing is set off again, cycling bluetooth doesn't fix it a second time and a reboot is required.

I can't vouch for this as it didn't work for me, but enough others have said it works to be worth trying out.

I'll have a go at the undervolting thing when I can to see if that resolves the issue. Had a look at the thread but wasn't sure how to do it, will need to look again later.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slopppy:
Sad to say, that it only fixed the dialer issue temporarily for me, as it is now back again. Siggghhhh, sorry guys, I thought I was on to something. It stayed away for a good 2 or 3 days, then mysteriously came back again.

I will have to try the bluetooth thing and see if that helps. At least it will mean I can take/make 2 calls without having to reboot if I don't want the high dialer usage :D

Dialer issues

After reviewing this thread, I am a little peeved by this. I am surprised AT&T even let the GB update be applied to the HTC Inspire. Anyway, I have tried disabling the following:

* Quiet ring on pickup

* Pocket Mode

* Flip for Speaker

This has helped some in keeping battery life from being completely eaten away. I did multiple tests that seem to confirm that this is a sensor polling issue. The thing I noticed is that Dialer is not affected if you immediatly put the phone call on speaker during a call (after fresh reboot and full charge). However the moment you put it to your ear and the proximity sensor cuts the screen off (battery saver) it initiates the dialer issue. I have not tested it with bluetooth devices since I don't use one. If possible could someone try testing what I have done as well as bluetooth to confirm. This would go inline with previous issues of the sensor and give all of us specifics in which to complain to HTC and Google about.

As far as I can tell there is no "app" that is causing this issue. I utilized multiple "task killers" and a few other programs in hopes to find a way to "disable" or "kill" the dialer issue but with no luck. Since other Android GB users are having similar issues (no HTC sense) I am assuming it is primarily an android glitch. Most of the steps that have helped people have simply been settings that normally use minimal battery while enabled. "Crippling" our phones should not be the answer though.

EDIT: The one thing I have not tried is force stopping Dialer and dialer Storage. I will attempt to see if this works and post any additional findings.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlareHeart:
I have tried this extensively over the past little while and the Dialer for me will only appear after I make a call, and doesn't normally show up after I just receive one. The Bluetooth pairing doesn't seem to help either.

I know it has been mentioned that maybe it's bad reporting (and the battery isn't draining any faster), but that's definitely not the case since I notice an EXTREME increase in battery drain when the Dialer starts to work its way up in my battery usage list.

This is starting to get really irritating. I mean I don't make that many phone calls, but the effort of having to reboot my phone EVERY time is still NOT something that should be happening...I was hoping that the "Hint of Sense 3" (provided by Lee's patch for the ROM I'm currently using) would bump the dialer to a version that didn't have this issue, but even that doesn't help.

EDIT: My ROM is the LeeDroid HD-V3.3.3 GB-R5 with a hint of Sense 3 on a HTC Desire (original)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marioaguado:
Hello I'm using ARHD 6.1.0 and it looks like the issue is gone I'm so happy battery life now is simply amazing
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berserkk:
Have you tried connecting USB and watching adb log cat to see what processes are running during drain
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ametz:
I noticed that my "HTC Incredible S" used 17% on the dialer tonight while i slept.

Fully loaded (unpluged) and rebooted when i turned in for the night, now 7 Hr later i have 60% total battery left =/

But the dialer has taken 17%, so thats the biggest drain on the phone.

Smartphones are machines. Computers are machines.

Computers can dual boot. Why not our phones?

Our phones have certainly enough space for that.

This is my idea for how to use the spaces:

sdcard: two / mounts

phone rom: two /data mounts, and modified bootloaders.

What do you guys think about? Just talk about it. Pure concepts and ideas. I have almost none OS related programming knowledge.

P.S. I am sure that some of you have thought about this but no one actually did it.

Edit: this thread is intented only for discussion and don't think that I am going make it possible. Hopefully someone will make it and this post will be used for the project.

Video files and music files doesn't play after a period of phone usage, giving the error of "The player don't support this type of file." For me, the way of fixing this is to reboot my phone.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jman531:
I am hoping someone has some knowledge of this...I had a lot of trouble getting CWM recovery to boot on my vibrant, but thanks to these forums, I installed ODIN, got back to Eclair, re-rooted and got CWM recovery to boot. I am using the Auxoria ROM and when I installed it I selected wipe data, etc, but when I flashed it through CWM, I am not sure if it did it or not. It appears to be working, but it seems to have a few strange behaviors from before. I then restored all apps and system data from Titanium Backup. Then got to thinking, can Titanium backup restore any system data from the Eclair ROM that would cause issues? When you restore after flashing a ROM, are you supposed to NOT install system data? I wonder if anyone has any experience with that and can make a recommendation. And Happy Mothers Day out there to any mom's out there that give so much to raise a family!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Restoring system data is absolutely a no-no

You typically can restore the green ones, if on the same os... But if you had eclair settings and restored on froyo, I bet you have a lot of little bugs.

I would odin to jfd, flash a new rom and then restore just the apps+ data.

Also, axura was great, but done master has moved to greener pastures you may want to try another. I think master said he would try and support this device still, but that's to much to ask of him I think.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jman531:
Thank you....What other ROM would you recommend. I looked for one with a working GPS, and minimal bugs. I really want to do cyanogen 7 like my mytouch4g, but it doesn't seem ready yet. Am I just able to reflash and wipe data when I do? Any reason I really have to redo my odin and eclair refresh?

You can't go wrong with Trigger or the new Bionix NextGen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
I would go back to stock, just so you know you'll go to the next rom with no bugs.

Check my signature. Amazingly easy to go to jfd > new rom.

I would suggest Trigger for having everything work as it should/theming.

I went back to eclair and flashed trigger 3.2, but it seems pretty bland? No way to edit functions for home keys, or customize much of anything...looks like 2.2 really, am i missing something?

I wanted to edit my grids but don't see that either...like replacing the app of web browser with text app...used to be able to edit on homescreen but that is even gone...

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_scepter:
Hi all,

I have had my DHD for about 2 weeks now and I have just noticed that if I set it down on a hard surface it does make a bit of a plastic-y rattling sound. If I shake the phone it also rattles, but hardly near as much, it is barely audible. Is this something to be concerned about? If it's not going to affect the phone in the long run I would rather just keep it with the rattle but I would like to be sure before doing so. So is this going to cause problems in the long run or is it just a benign niggle?

Thanks in advance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambomanx1:
They all do this, and I know what you mean. Nothing to be worried about, I've heard most handheld devices do this, let alone just this phone. The shaking when you put the phone down on the table i most likely just the phone shaking very quickly as you put it down, just because the camera protrudes.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambomanx1:
How are you tapping it? Basically, there is a tiny rattle there, but it isn't prominent. I'd say it's the camera too, but definitely a non-issue.

After 2 days of testing i think i have a clean solution to fix the mobile data drain by setting the preferred network mode to 1 (GSM only). No need to delete or rename anything. Just update the db that is already there :-).

You need a rooted device for this.

Extract the sqlite3.zip and push to your device with the following commands:

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
adb push sqlite3 /system/bin
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/sqlite3
adb shell
su (to gain root permissions)
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update secure set value="1" where name="preferred_network_mode"'
reboot
[Acer Iconia A500] agentdax5:
I'll give this a try. Thanks

Edit: Is it possible I can do this on the device without adb? Adb doesn't want to detect my tablet with debugging enabled.
[Acer Iconia A500] daveba:
Sure, as long as you have some sort of terminal emulator installed.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
with root explorer and a terminal app (eg connectbot) you can do it.

[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:

[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
This updates the database configuration setting that causes the phone to not to look for 3G networks only 2G (GSM which includes GPRS and EDGE). I'll let the OP elaborate more, but this config change must reduce the battery usage by causing the phone and telephony services to chill out out a bit when in standy mode.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
couldn't describe it better :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] mrtoken:
2g = only poll cell if request is made that needs cell, 3g = poll all the time, which means that if you change to only 2g then it should not check for cell if you are in wifi range.

[Acer Iconia A500] nycbjr:
try this instead as a work around:

adb push sqlite3 /sdcard/sqlite3

adb shell

$ su

# mount -o remount,rw /system

# cp /sdcard/sqlite3 /system/bin/sqlite3

# chmod 6755 /system/bin/sqlite3

# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update secure set value="1" where name="preferred_network_mode"'

# reboot

I've never been able to use root level adb cmnds with this device from outside the adb shell env, I think you need to update the default.prop, but this gets overwritten on reboot, I'm sure there is a way to fix this, and has proabably been discussed in another thread I've been too lazy to go find lol.
