Since updating my HD7 to 7392 the battery is dead at 8pm despite me hardly using the phone at all.

Previously, even with lots of use I never got to the critical warning before plugging it in at 11pm.

Sick of this WP7 **** now. Phone still 16 bit colour as well.

Phone is o2 UK but debranded using petbede's method, then official NoDo and official 7392 installed over the top.

Didn't regret not getting the iPhone 4 for a few months but I'm starting to now.
[HD7 General] BlitterTwisted:
So no-one else affected?

Well, I'm now restoring back to 7390. If this doesn't fix it I'm gonna get rid of this damn phone and god knows what I'll end up with.

Has anyone noticed trade in values for the HD7 have gone to ****? I'll be lucky to end up back where I started on an iPhone 3G.
[HD7 General] XPLANE9:
Have you bothered to recondition your battery? As in charge it full, drain it all the way, then recharge.

If so, contact HTC for a replacement battery. The 7392 was only security patches, nothing is related to battery life.

But if you are too lazy to do that, go ahead. Have fun with your new/old IPhone 3G. :)
[HD7 General] dre2k14:
Ive noticed my battery dies alot quicker now to but I totally forgot that I updated my phone until now.lol
[HD7 General] BlitterTwisted:
Thanks but it's literally gone since I did the update. Previously it would last me the whole day.

I'll try a few sets of charging and draining, but it will be interesting to see what happens now that I've rolled it back to 7390.

I understood it to be the same as you, 7392 is just a security update. But something about the process of installing updates seems to cause battery issues.

I really don't want to go back to an iPhone as when I use my wife's 3GS it seems very dated compared to WP7. But I'm sick of the hassle of WP7 at the moment!
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
no such issues..... how do u test the screen for 16 bit... my screen looks crisp and hd still...
[HD7 General] sutt359:
I noticed this last night.

I charged it fully before going to work at 8pm then time it came to 12:30 i had used over 3/4 of the battery just by web surfing and sending 8 sms.

Mine is a o2 HD7 but running the euro htc rom, i always let it run out and recharge to full.

Im thinking more and more of binning WP7 just a shame my device has afew knocks to it otherwise it would be trade in. Looks like its heading to the back of the draw.
[HD7 General] BlitterTwisted:
Exactly the same as me, I'm running the unbranded euro HTC rom too.

Did your battery problems start after installing 7392?

One of the reasons I bought into WP7 was the hope of getting the updates and things improving. Never considered the possibility that updates could make things worse.
[HD7 General] sutt359:
Ive only been running the update for a week and the battery wasnt that gr8 before hand but last night opened my eyes to how bad since this patch.

I would do a hard reset and see if that helps but as MS left out a way to back-up SMS im a little stuck.

How ever im feeling that wp7 is all its cracked up to be, looking at whats coming in mango is good but i feel the battery may suffer.
[HD7 General] BlitterTwisted:
Since downgrading back to 7390 my battery life has returned to normal!

Hammered the phone with a good hour or calls today and even now the battery is not dead, it will last till going on charge at bed time.

What the hell is going on with 7392 then!?!
[HD7 General] sutt359:
Did you hard reset?
[HD7 General] BlitterTwisted:
No just downgraded via standard Zune option.
[HD7 General] NachoNut:
Just saw this update for my phone out and then saw this thread. Are others having the issue with the battery? I will gladly hold off on this update if it really does drain it that much.

Any other confirmations?
[HD7 General] Audio:
I can't imagine the Security update causes this, perhaps a new Radio is downloaded with the update?

I'm on Unbranded Euro ROM and the same OS version 7.0.7392.0 with Radio Software 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U, can someone post their Radio from OS Version 7390?

P.S. I haven't actually noticed any Battery drain since the update. I cahrge every night from about 11pm - 7am and my phone will last untill I put it on charge again at the same times.
[HD7 General] truckerdewd:
I updated mine yesterday and haven't noticed any difference in battery life.

battery

First day experience of mine,Battery is dead after 7392 update 15 minute talk 20 sms in 7 hours!I am going to downgrade tonight back previus Rom!
[HD7 General] Perlnx:
Yeah, I feel this thing too,

The battery are more faster draining than old in my HD7 (O2DE Rom).

Just play few game for a hour and my battery is lower than 20%.
[HD7 General] toff74:
I'm in the same boat...

After the update, not only is my battery draining faster, but my reception actually seems worse (subjective).

I hope we can find out why and get a fix for this sharpish as it's driving me nuts having to carry my charger around with me (quite a heavy user)...
[HD7 General] Audio:
So does anybody who's rolled/rolling back fancy posting their Radio versions to compare?
[HD7 General] unlockMe:
no problem

updated a few days ago. no problem with the battery life (T-Mobile US HD7).

Radio rom = 5.51.09.11a_22.31.50.09U

I checked all the settings that can generate data activity and the 7392 had kept all my previous settings (like not checking for updates, ...).

I usually go 9am - 6pm, have a few hours of calls with my bluetooth headset and so far I have not ended up not having enough battery to finish a day.

It may depend on where you're located, poorly covered area means the phone has to beef up the power to the antenna to reach the cell towers.
[HD7 General] BlitterTwisted:
I'm back on 7390 and heres my values:

OS: 7.0.7390

Firmware: 2250.09.16901.401

Hardware: 0002

Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U

Radio hardware: A.102.0.D4

I am on the unbranded EU ROM too.

In the next few days I might try reapplying my updates and then checking all settings to see if things I turned off have been turned back on again.
[HD7 General] razer2911:
The battery drain looks the same to me but the phone seems to have a hard time holding on to 3G signal and keeps switching back to EDGE.

Normally i get 3 bars of 3G signal at my work place but today the phone was on EDGE and even GPRS most of the day.

It's been 8 hrs since unplugging the phone in the morning and it's still at 80% charge. Although i just made 2 short calls, checked a few emails and about 10 minutes of web browsing.
[HD7 General] btbarr16:
Camera problems on 7392

I updated today to 7392 and rolled back almost immediately. I wasn't on it long enough to notice battery issues, but I notice a few other problems. First, I have the shazam app on my home screen and after updating it was gone from the home screen and app list. When it went to reinstall it in the market it only gave me the option to share the app which is what it does when an app is installed already. So I couldn't uninstall or reinstall it. Secondly, I was fooling around with the camera app and not to long after taking and deleting a few pictures I noticed a huge slow down and the screen became almost unresponsive. With a few graduation parties for some of my college buddies coming up and want my camera app to be working the way it should be.
[HD7 General] moonshines:
just my observation

it seems that those having battery issues after the may update are all euro roms.

i havent experienced battery issues after updating to 7392. im not even sure what the update is all about.

have you guys tried flashing a different rom region? ( i dont know if that is possible but how i see it if all of our hd7s be it its a euro,us asia version if they all have the same architecture most likely it would work)it could be with the add ons to the euro roms that make the battery life shorter (im not a techie guy but i do know how to flash roms lol!).

for my T-Mo_US hd7, im not experiencing any battery issues after updating to 7392 for three days now.
[HD7 General] reddy_bun:
Yeah.. it is true. I updated to 7392 and now the battery is getting over heated.

I used some applications like facebook, and then some internet browsing, market place search for around 10 minutes and then i kept my phone in my pocket. Then i could feel it so hot. After an hour i wanted to browse some internet and was schocked, the battery is down already.

Microsoft is sending all ****ty updates. I will downgrade it to 7390 today.
[HD7 General] toff74:
Dramatic much? :)

NoDo was obviously the big update and that was great. Then MS deemed the software not secure so rolled out a security update. Personally knowing my info is safe, but having to charge my phone more than before, whilst is a bit of an inconvenience, is worth the piece of mind.

If you have any negative feelings about online security, just ask PS3 users how secure they feel right now!!! ;):rolleyes:
[HD7 General] Audio:
We don't feel very secure at all! :)

Regarding the post stating it's only affecting euro unbranded ROMS, mine is euro unbranded and I haven't noticed any Battery draining issues.
[HD7 General] reddy_bun:
NoDo was a big update??

I havent seen much of difference before and after NoDo, expect the copy paste option.

I know microsoft will be doing its best to make the device secure. Eating up of all the battery just for giving a little security doesnt make any sense. "The phone is more secure when its dead" i think this is what microsoft is thinking about.
[HD7 General] bobfisher29:
The latest update of Shazam moved it to the XBox Live Games section. I guess we can expect a new update soon.
[HD7 General] p.dixon0:
I wonder if a different radio was included in the O2 update that has caused your battery life to suffer? I've honestly not noticed any difference on mine since upgrading to 7392, but mine's still locked. Maybe you picked up a different radio with the Euro download that doesn't work so well in the UK and is causing the battery drain? Just a thought!
[HD7 General] p.dixon0:
Sorry! Missed a whole page before posting, doh! And can't delete using the XDA app... <Fail>
[HD7 General] saketh321:
i got the update for my bell HD7 and the issue seems to be the same... my phone was pulled off of the charger this morning around 9:00 and by 6 the battery is barely alive with maybe 20 texts or so and a couple of phone calls less than 2 minutes.
[HD7 General] tombrighteyes:
T-mobile HD7

haven't had any issues with battery, other than the wierd charged it at night went to sleep (unpluged) then in the monring it ate a 3rd of battery, but im not sure if it was al the syncing or what, i do have feedback turned off from microsoft which i remember i heard it would send data constantly

but other than that insident i haven't had any problems, i'm also thinking its a specific update from where you are, becuase here t-mo no problems like that i do use it alot with facebook and have windows live constantly bombarding me with emails so i check and reply them and the acacionall text message during the day.

with games included btw.

i don't think a security update would drain the battery unless it was a process runing in the background for some reason :/
[HD7 General] Audio:
Just a thought, i did see this in another topic but i don't think people realize how much good it can do to a battery that's playing up.

Have you tried charging it to full, then running it till it's empty? I remember having some battery life issues a while back with the HD7, where it was literally lasting 4 hours before i had to put it back on charge.

So one night, i plugged it in untill the morning, then 5 hours later it was dead but i didn't have a means of charging it, so it was truly empty by the time i got home at the night. Plugged it in again for an overnight charge and i'm not kidding, 24 hours later (the following night it went uncharged), I was still at 40 - 50% battery.

Might be worth trying to save the hassle of rolling back if you're having problems.
[HD7 General] BlitterTwisted:
Yeah I did try it because the phone was draining the battery 100% very quickly so I was then putting it on charge and letting it fully charge. This happened for three full days and no difference.

Microsoft told me via their twitter support to try the update again so I installed it lastnight.

Values now are:

OS: 7.0.7392

Firmware: 2250.09.16901.401

Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U

This is interesting because the firmware and radio versions have not changed. I liked the theory of a different radio version causing issues but it can't be because it's the same version. Only the OS version has changed.

The security update isn't an active process that uses CPU either, it's just some compromised SSL certificates that have been replaced/removed.

I'll see how it goes over the next day or two. I have spoken to my carrier (o2) regarding the fact that my last two updates have degraded my phone and they agree that should not happen but won't do anything to help.
[HD7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Sorry for hearing you have the error... I am living well with my HD7...

No 16 bit color error, no strange of battery. 7392
[HD7 General] BlitterTwisted:
Via twitter support Microsoft told me to try reapplying the update which I've done.

Surprise, surprise, battery life seems normal. I wonder what the problem was then.
[HD7 General] samnas2:
No problems here.

OS: 7.0.7392.0

Firmware: 2250.09.16001.401

Radio: 5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U
[HD7 General] toff74:
Im very interested in this... How do you re-apply the update.
[HD7 General] BlitterTwisted:
Well to go from 7392 back to 7390, I just used the standard Zune "restore function".

To go forward again, I just plugged the phone into the PC and Zune offered the 7392 update again.

The phone battery life is still fine by the way after installing 7392 the second time. MS acknowledged this on twitter but didn't say what the problem could be. Maybe someone there looking into it.
[HD7 General] toff74:
Ah..... thank you.

I'll give that a go.
[HD7 General] sandrax2020:
I can not believe i have to keep on fully recharge the damn batteries for this HD7 phone..

for example yesturday i was just browsing ONLY my 300 photos i have... and only filming in HD video 2 videos that is no longer then 2 minutes lenth... and only browsing the apps for no more then 40minutes

And all that my baterry ends up blinking that needs to fully recharge again.

Thats is annoying... i allways charge the phone with the USB direct computer.. and then again charging the battery seem to take 3 hours or so to be fully charge..... But then only your browsing and by the time you know it the battery is half empty again in just under 24hours time.

Why is it that so bad with HD7 ?
[HD7 General] Audio:
I can't tell if you're being Sarcastic or not, but if you aren't, you should probably read the comments above you.

I don't think the battery on the HD7 is any worse than my previous phones or any other Smart phones that are out there tbh. I charge mine every night but more often than not when I do put it on charge at night i notice there is still half battery left.
[HD7 General] sandrax2020:
Well as i compare iphone 3G vs htc hd7 battery charging time... looks like the new HTC HD7 battery runs out quickly in under 24hours time. While the old IPHONE last at least a good 2 days more

And this new phone HD7 the battery doesnt last long and i was only just browsing the apps.. I wasnt downloading anything, I was looking at my photos and that shoulnt eat all the battery up.
[HD7 General] dzotx:
TMOUS HD7 7392 - I charged overnight without SIM in airplane mode. I unplug this morning to go to work... did not even check the phone. When I checked it after work a couple of hours ago... it was dead. I'm re-charging again... still simless and in airplane mode. I will see how long the charge will last a second time.
[HD7 General] BlitterTwisted:
Yep compared to an iPhone (even an old one with a less than perfect battery) the HD7 is poor. htc definitely skimped on the battery capacity at 1230mah, their standard desire with smaller screen has 1500 I think.

Another thing poorer than the iPhone is touch screen accuracy too.

I love the WP7 UI but wish there was a better choice of phones
[HD7 General] Luisraul924:
Interesting... I updated a couple weeks ago and haven't noticed this issue.
[HD7 General] Audio:
I just don't think people are taking the time to condition their Batteries...

I agree though, a 1500mAh battery would be nice (the Desire has a 1400). But then again, when I'm still at 50% Battery after 12 hours use, it's the last thing on my mind.
[HD7 General] dzotx:
The battery seems fine now after being drained. I'll have to keep an eye on it for a few more recharges.
[HD7 General] Luisraul924:
Wow I just discovered something really really odd... At first I thought it was just me so I decided to time it on the second try, but oddly enough, using YouTube (I use Lazyworm's app its great) for 3-3.5 hours of video streaming still leaves me with about an eighth of battery life which is the same if I were to do a "power session" of Facebook, Twitter, and forums on my phone (believe it or not I've actually used my phone from 100%-0% battery in one session) and this "power session" of social networking and forum crawling turns out the same amount of battery time as video streaming... Odd... before (7390/7392) i would watch about 1-1.5 hour(s) about a movies worth really, and the phone would start blinking at me. Interesting find for me. I <3 WP7! Haha.
[HD7 General] rabit1:
hi Luisraul924,

so what exactly did you do to get such an (battery life) improvement?
[HD7 General] Luisraul924:
Nothing special I am anal about "battery conditioning" though, as some peeps call it.
[HD7 General] rabit1:
Are you now on 7392? Did you notice more battery drain on 7392 like some people here do?
[HD7 General] Luisraul924:
I am on 7392 I updated a couple of days after it started rolling out. Battery life has remained the same between 7390 and 7392 but has improved (apparently) compared to 7004/7008.
[HD7 General] sandrax2020:
It looks like with some frustration i must charge the phone 2 times under 24hour period.

Seriously all i did was get into a social chat app for no less then 10min and then rest and then back another 10min and then rest nd took 8 HD images...

Then realise my battery was half dead. and later while looking at my photos on the phone makes the battery complete dead and about to die.

Seriously this couldnt be that bad for a brand new phone with a brand new battery in 2011 surely ?

My iphone never drained out at all and infact i only charge the iphone every 2 days. every 1 time every 2 days. Not like HTC HD7 that ends up been almost complete dead under 24hour time. where i must continuesly charge the phone twice morning and then late at night via USB port on computer.

If i buy this battery from HTC will it be better then the one that came with the phone ?

heres the link:http://www.htcaccessories.com.au/BA_S460.aspx

perhaps spend 44 dollars and i could have a much duarable battery for the HTC HD7

MODEL: BA S460 HTC HD7 Battery

What do you think folks ?
[HD7 General] Luisraul924:
No. that battery still shows 1200mah which is the factory battery, not extended.
[HD7 General] :
i just my hd7, and for whatever reason....it came with 7008 i believe, i easily got about 20 hours with it, so after fully charging and draining, i decided to upgrade to to 7392...and the battery sucked! lasted 6 hours max!

Now i have degraded with the restore backup thing from zune and now the build number is 7008, will see how good the battery is now, then i will update again.
[HD7 General] jutley:
7392 here on tmobile latest firmware and radio installed look for latest branded tmobile rom and install it cause my htc hd7 is on its 4th day with normal usage what a difference if you have flashed latest firmware and radio for tmobile.

I had Swype in my original rom, but when I upgraded rom I lost it.

Is there any way to get it back? I need finnish version of it. there was some beta program on swype page, but there were no finnish available.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
Swype is still only in beta, there is no finished version.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Poulsen8r:
You can get swype back by renaming the /cust/ folders to match /cust_backup/. There is no finnish version on my phone though (I doubt they can work out all the vowels :P). Was the version on your phone finnish when you got it? What rom are you using?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jukkus:
Original rom was b133sp01 finland,elisa. There was swype preinstalled in it. Because of problems with dropping 3g network I tried B160.

But it seems like that rom didn't solve those network problems, so I'm thinking of downgrading now. Wish only that market would automatically reinstall my apps. In my old samsung spica that worked, but not with this. Only paid apps is installed after rom update.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Piron:
by AndroidCommander removed all the keyboard from the system and installed the latest version of Swype with my language.

Now on my phone I have just one keyboard-Swype with black skin and Polish characters:).

In Poland, x5 is not available so in ROM, it was not the language. Delete all files Swype (and other keyboards) from the system allowed the installation of new respective versions.

Hi, my phone is somehow using credit even when it's not being used. It's now taken at least £20. I've checked for any running programs that might be using it but the only one was google chat. I stopped the application but my credit continued to go down. I've had to switch the phone off and remove the sim card to stop it. I have tried doing a master reset and it was fine until I re-entered the APN settings for internet. :confused:

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy GT-I5700 (aka Spica, aka Portal).

Any ideas anyone?
[General Questions and Answers] SERGI.3210:
ei!!!!

when i had a samsung galaxy spica i was download from th market "APN ON OFF WIDGET" (by pedro maicas)and put the widget in your desktop. it "cuts" your conection because Though you do not use anything in concretly that consumes "kb" the all the SMARTPHONES have a connection for maintennance his software and his aplications actuallized, or for to send information packages to samsung.. google etc..for betten function of the OS.

also if you are running Android 1.5 cupcake or 2.1 eclair...(i think that yes.. but check it in settings---about the phone)

you can download ADVANCED TASK KILLER for to cut the process that its consuming your credit. but if you have an android upper than 2.1 (2.2 for example) do not install any taskl killer... it drains the battery.

advanced task killer summary: install it, then put the widget in your desktop.. occasionally do click on the widget for to cut android proccess and apk that are oppened and consuming data,

in adition a.task killer runs automatically if you have it installed.

try and post the results please :):):):):):)
