Weird battery drain

So I've been running 3.5 TMOUS w/ marc's 1.9 for a few days now. No daemon or setcpu or anything installed, all NAND w/o an EXT. Battery life was great...then the phone randomly froze. I had to pull the battery and rebooted. Ever since then the battery has been draining heavily in standby. Battery use shows "com.htc.bg" eating up the majority. I've never seen it on top of the list before. Any ideas before I blow it up and re-install everything?

I tried removing Google Maps (mentioned a few pages back) and no change.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] r_i_x:
been using v3.5 for more than a week now.

On standby battery life is great.... but battery drains fast on data / wifi usage. there are times it becomes laggy but comes back to smoothness after few seconds.

in general the ROM is great...

just bored not flashing anything on my phone :p
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Not a big deal in my eyes. Try to identify what application that is and delete its cache and maybe if that doesn't help delete the full dalvik cache. I could imagine that from the battery pull some files got corrupted and its not working right now so just try to bring everything back to default.

[Edit]

Just looked it up. It's somehow to do with the Facebook sync to the contacts app. Try to clean out the cache from the contacts app, Facebook and then go to contacts and log out of Facebook there and log back in. It run the setup wizard again to make sense Facebook log in again and re-sync.

Probably something corrupted there and the sync process running all the time because of that.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dysprosi:
Its the main, well, everything HTC program (including sense). I cleared cache & dalvik cache. Tried wiping batterystats.bin too. Its a big deal for me now since the battery drains in about 6 hours in standby where it used to last all day.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alex.odell.2011:
Try remove Google maps it solved the issue for me ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Ok sorry for bad advice then. I am currently at work and don't have time to investigate on it but I also think you should then try to freeze or uninstall maps. If that doesn't help I would do a fresh instal. These things happen sometimes.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] dipaolnv:
@dysprosi... Like sneaky, I had some evidence of high battery drain using the configuration you have listed. Flashing Marc's 1.8 kernel and disabling facebook syncing seems to have done the trick for me.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
This is a background task (.bg). I suspect that it is continually trying to update without success. Do you have "auto sync" applied? Are you suddenly having data connection problems? Try unchecking both Background Data and Auto Sync. Close down the phone (do not pull the battery) and restart. Monitor to see if this makes a difference. If it does then the problem may be with your data connection or an application that is trying to sync (ie FriendStream, email etc) and failing. You could try logging out of an application and checking to see if this solves the problem. Do it one at a time to determine which application is causing you problems.

By the way, wiping batterystats.bin does nothing to improve battery life. As its name implies, it just logs battery statistics from last boot. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Sorry I missed the part where you said that you had already uninstalled maps. Go with the last recommendation then or do a fresh instal.

Just to add to the data issue: navigon keeps losing GPS and while the system keeps it I did notice constant data on/off switching while navigating. So the system seems to lose data under certain circumstances, mainly when an app keeps requesting a connection. This happens so often that at some point data seems to fail permanently. I'd suspect the Facebook sync or any other app doing the same as my navigon and thus drain the battery.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Sneaky, I suspect that you are right. As implied in my previous post, there certainly seems to be some interaction between apps and the data playing up. My problem with Maps draining my battery was resolved after I uninstalled and then re-installed it. Since then I have seen one instance where the dialer would not shut down and subsequently drained the battery significantly. Not sure if it is the kernel but as this has only happened to me twice, I can't be bothered trying previous versions to identify where the fault lies (probably impossible, anyway, due to the number of instances I have experienced). ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chrisrj28:
Slightly off topic

Is it bad that I have flashed ICS Tosti a few days ago to help with my ORD? :p

I'm totally ready to get back to Sense again, hope Dan is feeling better. Sickness seems to be going around as I am sick too as well as most of my daughter's class. Ugh

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Well excuse my ignorance but i still say there IS a way to have Beats on the phone and the special DSP chip is JUST CRAP or a blunt lie. Despite all the posts stating there MUST be special hardware present this Beats patch from Fuss132 is friggin am-azing! it rocks my ears and i just use some cheapo sennheisers and not any high def headphones!

I bet it would sound absolutely incredible on headphones with better frequency range and more drive...

Beat me if i'm wrong but this patch is just to cool for school. Thanks for brining it up Alex. I knew it was a good idea to not put u down. Keep skimming the forums, asking noobish questions. It might bring up some more harvest :D

Instructions needed!!

Hi guys, can you give me the link to the instructions how to install this rom? Or if you can paste some imstructions here. I am really confused with tons of links on the first page..

I use currently nand energy rom, how to install this one now? Thx
[HD2 Android NAND Development] carl1961:
LMAO, If we read the HTC Amaze was the first for beats and it's software related, sensation came out with beats also, but the newest sensation has a chip that makes the beats better so if you have a expensive headset it's proved to work
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alex.odell.2011:
V3.6 is in the distance, maybe wait a bit? :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bipinsen:
He'll be waiting a long time.. :rolleyes:

Other than CM builds or ICS build, there have been no GB or MIUI builds from anyone in the last 2 weeks. Its frustrating. The withdrawals are horrible. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] r_i_x:

I hope these helps...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Thank you for helping! Much appreciated!

I might add, that multiupload will probably not work anymore. If that is the case, you might pull the 4EXT recovery from my mediafire folder. find it in my signature.

Also using the ROM torrent was much quicker for me 2mb/s
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DeeinSouthAfrica:
Hmm I tried it.

Is this meant to tweak the HTC music player? Cos I use Poweramp and I can't hear any difference at all.

I played a song, then applied the patch and then played the same song again. No difference. :cool:

Maybe I need better headphones. Or maybe I need a better phone. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mandrakur:
Is it a way to fix charging binaries for 4ext recovery becouse when phone is off and charging it cant power on without pull out the battery.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Don't think so! I have a pair of B & O headphones and I can't tell the difference. Possibly flatter, if anything....... :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
it only works with the htc player, which has been one of the main complaints about beats on the sensation devices too.

And concerning the sound difference I hear: it is "louder", there is obviously a considerable amount of compression applied. The sound is a little clearer as without the patch. It does sound flat at times but I was pinning that down to my headphones which where never blessed with a rich full spectrum sound...

Must be the kernel, because I have the same issue with 5.0.2.6 recovery
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bipinsen:
If you're using cLK, then this is a known issue with it. Actually has to be... since MAGLDR can't be used for charging when the phone is off anyway.

EDIT: Sorry.. I meant you couldn't power on the phone without pulling out the charging cable. Not sure if that's what you guys meant.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Actually, all you need to do with Magldr is to switch on the phone after you connect it to power then switch off. It will charge........ ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] karapialis:
WOW...

What an excellent rom...

I couldn't have even imagined how far you guys have gone with this project. It's nearly flawless. Only a few sense previews and some choices that never were meant out for hd2s are inactive.

Back in the day when i firstly tried sense roms there were serious problems, choppiness etc. But now...

Everything works seemleslly good combined with Marc's newest kernel at 128-1457 smartassv2 adn zram100 script. Even with all 3d widgets enabled...

I have never even gazed at a Sensation phone so i am not sure to what aspects i am limited to but.. this rom is amazing. I couldn't expect nothing more than a dsp fix for the next ics kernels so that you could bring sense 4, camera 720p functionality and beter audio to our beloved phone. But i am sure every HD2 developer is working on it, even Cottula with new Magldr... I am sure my high expectations will be met looking at what you have all done these 2 years. What else can i say, this phone is amazing... and the HD2 community is awesome.

Could Supercharger be more of an improvement to this rom? Any suggestions? I am willing to try this one out
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dunc001:
Don't bother with any Supercharger script. Dan has incorporated much of what it does already and we have tested for many long hours to get the best combination of tweaks. Running an additional script will more than likely result in a worse experience, and may even break stuff. So in short, no :cool:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zulwik:
Maybe 3.6 rom today?? :D It would be great.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mandrakur:
Of course is clk, but I haven't that with cwm, in the other way, 4ext is much better, but the best will be if someone port 4ext touch to hd2.

And bug is that I must pull off the battery, when charging with 4ext(phone off)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:

Does anybody have a GPS signal lost problem in navigation app.

My HD2 navigates me for 10-15 minutes than I lost GPS signal.

Restart GPS mode or the navigation app give me GPS back for 15-20 minutes....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bvjunior:
The fact that people are asking for the new release just denote their interest.

I think there are other ways to answer to their interest.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Yeah I've reported quite a bit on it even just a few pages back...

Long story short: the system didn't lose GPS ever on this build but some navigation apps do. Most stable are google nav and igo. Sygic had some problems in the past but generally works well too but navigon keeps losing GPS, particularly on this build.

I have the exact same problem, and i asked this question few days back and i got no respond. also today i noticed that the phone is kind of hot too, maybe from the dashboard.

It happened to me in the 3.5 Stock ROM, i reformated my sd card and reinstalled the ROM without any additional application. I did not install any application, today I used it for about 20 minutes with no problem, in the way back I lost the signal, google navigator report searching for signal and never found it, exit the application and start it again will solve the problem temporary.

My HD2 business phone is on stock 3.5 - rock stable

My HTC HD2 (daily business phone) is still on stock ROM version 3.5 and is rock stable. No lags, no freeze, no reboots. Battery life is average, approx 30-40% battery left in the evening (after a full business day with several phone calls, sms's, and sync on e-mail, facebook, twitter and weather).

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is on. PNY 16Gb SD card class 10. 1024Mb EXT4 and 128Mb swap. OC with SetCPU @1305 mHz (low 460mHz).

Simply satisfied...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fromaron:
1. What GPS issues? Never had any issues with it, using daily with Sygic and IGO. Check the GPS config file for your location if you have problems and want to fix the problems.

2. What data connection issues? Never had any problems with it. Check your APN and adjust settings to suit your service provider.

3. Battery issues? You must be kidding.... Just reflash and get rid of power sucking applications.

4. Where is Dan? It is not your f@3&ng business :mad:.

5. When is new rom coming? Aren't you sutisfied with the 3.5 rom?, then you don't need the next version - it won't make you happy.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] bipinsen:
Dude. Seriously? You sound like the grouchy uncle that everyone wants to stay away from. You're being quite slick in itemizing your points, but none of those points is in the least bit helpful.

I rarely pick on these kind of posts, but this just rubbed me the wrong way. Posts like yours are what drives away people. I've been around long enough to know that. This is not your thread to police. Please don't do it.

Have you tried the fix that Dunc just posted?

Have you tried this yourself, Dunc? Or have you not seen any issues yourself? Leo/HD2 is not listed as an officially supported device, but the fix seems generic enough for our Qualcomm based hw.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alex.odell.2011:
No mate, tryed the one I posted
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bipinsen:
Ok.. Just looking into the two solutions. The fix Dunc posted just replaces the gps.conf files and adds extra information in there. The only problem is, the servers that this information is coming from (like the NTP Server) is hosted by the OP. I fundamentally dislike such a solution as it means that the "fix" is only as good as the guy who hosts. If tomorrow he decides that the iPhone is what he's always wanted, vast numbers of users will suddenly find their GPS lock time going up. :rolleyes:

Your solution involves injecting some hw files in \system\lib\hw, but none of the two files being injected are part of the original rom. So I'm not sure how this solution works. But based on what I wrote above, I'll try yours out. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SagaPer:
No, stock 3.5 with kernel 1.8. I tested kernel 1.9 with prevoius flash of stock 3.5 ROM but I experienced extended battery drain.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
I just flashed that Fix which dunc001 linked.

As i said i have problems with Applications losing the GPS readings but GPS remaining active and functional in System.

The most obvious difference is a good lock time and 9 satellites indoors. I can't test if it makes a difference for Navigon Select, which is the Application that has been playing up a lot in the past.

And to Fromaron:

I use iGO and Sygic and i have said quite often that these ones are relatively stable and usually work under all conditions. Both never really failed me. Well Sygic once but that was my mistake. The problematic Application is Navigon Select. And Google maps - although stable on this release - seems to have problems sometimes too considering posts all over xda.

And the way you have been posting reminds me very much of how you people over there down under tick. Always a slightly agitated tone in voice :D

I mean, that must be to do with the continent. It also has the most poisonous and deadly animals... ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] a dead man:
Well that's me out, contract expired, upgraded to new phone ( cheaper, and more data) got a shiny new velocity (vivid, raider). Just want to say so long and thanks for all the fish. This has been an excellent rom on a fantastic phone, with little or no issues for me, and kudos to all Team Blue Droid. Thanks again and good journey to all :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fromaron:
Lol. That's how tough life in here :D.

And to answer to all the above, my post was simply a scream in frustration after seeing the same questions over and over again. Hundreds of pages are wasted on the same topics. The same answers were given but people still don't bother reading.

There is no a definite answer to any of the question, it all depends on everyones circumstance. Just reading and giving relevant information might help to solve the problem.

Yes, my points are "ticks" and slick but that is where people should start their troubleshooting from.

The ROM works perfectly for a lot of users so look for your phone setup. In a lot of cases the configuration might need to be changed. For example with every ROM I flash I have to change my phone provider APN manually in order to get stable and fast 3G connection. If I don't do it, the connection will work but not always. Does it sound as one of the problems people are complaining about? I wouldn't be able to help them though, I don't know who is their service provider and what is their APN should be. That to be established by the phone owner not anyone else.

Just to clarify the point about APNs. In the configuration list APNs are set for the main cariers. Individual service providers very often use different to their carier APN.

It does work for me 100% and I helped to solve simillar issues to other users who could provide relevant information.
