[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
earlier I posted need help flash stock image. now I found out a serious problem.

In battery in settings, screen taking 61% of battery. battery is dropping 1% every few minutes on idle, in this manner battery should be down in less than a hour.

I downloaded the stripped 4.0.2, so I posted for help, I installed stock image from google site without wipe, phone reboot and still in 4.0.2.

I just factory data reset, but didn't solve the problem.

can anybody help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike2518:
Yea, I think the most you might get out of this phone is 3 hours of screen time. Anyone get more than this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Do the wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Yes. I've got 4 hours from cell data and wifi. I think 5 hours is easily achievable over wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Baguett:
My screen is using 60% too, but the battery is ok though.

If you want to save some extra battery then use a black wallpaper because when a AMOLED screen display something black then the black pixels actually is not turned on, if you know what i mean. You dont save extremly much battery on this but i think you gain some extra minutes/hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
I have data always on, it used to display 3g but now keep on 'H'. I don't remember when did it start, maybe after I installed the stripped 4.0.2.

what is 'H' ?

screen taking 67% battery as I am typing. phone on idle.

how can I take a screenshot, so I can show it.

anybody else get this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
H is faster than 3G. It is HSPA+. There is no fix, that's how much battery the screen uses up.. it is the price you pay for 4.65" of screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
H is still slower than wifi. I have n network coming from my router. is wireless n enabled in this phone?

can anybody take a screenshot of battery setting? so I can compare to mine, see what is going.

how can I take a screenshot? so I can show it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
There's nothing to see? We all have something similar I just checked and screen is 61% of my battery too.

Screenshots are volume down + power.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
how long does your battery last not on charge, in normal use?

can't take screenshot volume down+ power. nothing happens.

screen taking 73% battery now. battery from39% down to 24% in less than 20 minutes. definitely not right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fishy68:
Hold Volume down plus Power for a few seconds, just clicking it wont work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
SAMOLED screens eat amps for breakfast and then some.

Which brightness setting do you use? Live Wallpaper?

Note: A user on XDA did runtime tests with just the screen enabled on maximum brightness with both a completely white vs. black picture on the display, result was 5 h vs. 10 h runtime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
Never understood this complaint, surely the Higher the battery use is for the screen the better? As it is the one big bright glowing user of electricity. Making the rest of the phone work better would put the Battery percentage up even more.

Basically yes the screen kills the battery, its supposed to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
I am using defaut wallpaper, static picture, not live wallpaper. brightness is set to automatic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Nothing out of the ordinary.. you probably have something else destroying your battery but it's not your screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
it is completely idle. I am not touching it.

you have 61%, i had 61% few hours ago, now 73% steady. how long does your battery last?

you have verizon version? you must have 1850mah. I think I have 1700.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Sounds like a little bit too much then.

I usually get 3-6h screen on time out of a charge (@10% brightness, on WLAN with no or very few calls).

EDIT: If you really want to test this, repeat the test I mentioned above. Reboot, switch anything (WLAN, BT, GPS, cell) off, load a pure white screen in the gallery (full screen) and display it at 100% brightness.

You should get around 5 h runtime with this setting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
I turned off data, gps, bt. turned phone off and back on. now screen at 75% battery discharging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xeene:
your phone wasn't fully charged to begin with. see that grey line between green power line and discharging percentage, that's your 100% mark of battery. here is an example...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
I don't know how to read the graph.

all I want it to bring down the percentage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
How's this looking? I'm surprised it got this far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
compare to mine.

why you have 12 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Because he has been using the phone for 12 hours? The screen is going to be the biggest battery drain you have unless there is something else going on with your phone. Maybe an app that doesn't work with ICS yet or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike2518:
That my friend is awesome battery life!!!! I can't get above 3hour 10 minute on my GSM phone no matter how long or short its off the charger!! Your'e lucky. What did you have on (wifi, mobile, blutooth)? Any special steps you took with the battery to achieve this life, like stock rom or custom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
I am still worried this is not normal. I am charging it up to 100% then report here see what happens.

All I did was installed the 4.0.2 update from the post says 'odin no wipe no recory', then I found battery draining fast, then today I installed a image from google group link.

I did not notice this problem before and I have been playing with device with wifi on last few days, and it did last at least 4-5 hours from 90% battery to 40%. I remeber I had it on for whole day without charge the first day I got but never look at battery performace until today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
Running on stock 4.02 here. Wifi on, GPS on(didn't use anything needing GPS so probably won't make a difference what this is set to), Bluetooth off, most things syncing every 2-3hrs, screen set on auto brightness. The phone was off for about 30 to 60 mins whilst i fitted a (wet) screen protector but the off time shouldn't affect the screen on results surely. The phone spends its nights on charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
charged to 100%.

now at 83%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
If you don't tell us all the data (e.g. the time the screen was on, brightness etc.) we cannot help you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
opps, um when I push volume down, it get bar cover up the line wiith volume. i'm going to test overnight idle, wifi off, bt off, data off, automatic brightness, discharging, and report in the morning. I will continue from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tubes6al4v:
OK, lets clear a few things up here:

- If you ever flash something and all of a sudden you have issues, here are the steps to take (p.s. always make backups when screwing around with your phone):

Wipe cache and dalvik cach via recovery menu, then try again.

Re-download the file, clear caches, then try again

wipe the full system, do a factory data reset, then flash and try again.

If it still doesn't work, then revert to the backup you took before issues started

- The percentages in the usage window are estimates for the percentage a process has used of the already used battery. If you charge up to 100%, then remove the charger and immediately begin using the screen, it will be a much greater portion of the usage.

- As already pointed out, the less battery consumed by other apps, the greater percentage the screen, android os, etc will show.

- And lastly, as requested, please post your screen usage times by tapping on "screen" in the battery usage window. This will give a more accurate idea of whether your screen is consuming excess power. If it is lasting 4+ hours, you are pretty good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nurre:
I just noticed on my system screen timeout doesn't seem to work.

4.0.2, very recent wipe (after installing 4.0.2 incidentally :p ). I set screen timeout to 30 seconds, turn the screen on on the lockscreen. Wait for 60 seconds, the screen has "darkened" a bit, but it's not off.

Can anyone confirm this issue? (please include firmware version).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djcr33p:
I set mine to timeout on 30, waited 30 seconds, screen dimmed at about 30 then powered off about 10 seconds later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
I tested overnight idle with data off, wifi off, bt off, discharging. screen now at 66%.

Tubes6al4v wrote, Wipe cache and dalvik cach via recovery menu, wipe whole system, how? do use a special tool or app. I think the phone does not have a system tool do to those.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tubes6al4v:
You will need cwm. Check the Dev section. It make backups, flashing, etc much easier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
I will see if I can get that to work. I need system wipe, then start factory 4.0.2 from beginning. but how? if I do that, the phone will be dead? any tools can do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
No you don't. You want to minimize the slope of the graph. Think of it this way: if in four hours, you consume 25% of the battery, you should WANT the screen to be the majority percentage of the drain. That means when you're not using it, it's consuming nearly nothing. What you want to minimize is how MUCH is consumed over that time period. If you consume only 10% in four hours, that's an improvement, whether the screen is the majority percentage or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
Right now the graph shows screen consume 67% of battery. so it means screen is largest object taking out charge from battery, it concume 67% of battery power. other things only take a little bit. compare the percentage, screen is only things using the battery.

this phone has 1700mah battery and most of it given to screen, and whole sytem only last few hours on normal use, that is not good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
I used at outside today and it battery didn't drop that fast. I don't know why it drop fast when phone is inside the house.

I used cmw clear cache and devlik cache.

righ now it is at 42%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
If you are inside a house and the phone has to search for the GSM network a lot because of bad reception, this will eat battery like nothing else. I go to some underground building every few weeks (ZERO reception) and when I forget to go to flight mode, it will drain the battery for almost 50% in 2 hours. This was on my old phone, but I doubt it's much different on the Nexus or any other phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
why does it constantly change? sometimes 83%, sometimes 42%, and now I am inside the house now 57%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unremarked:
I was hoping someone was going to explain how to read the percentage but apparently no one is going to.

First, and I'm going to use the numbers from your last screen shot, your screen is not using 42% of your battery. Your phone has discharged 12%(meaning that you're at 88% of full charge), and 42% of that discharge went to your screen. 58% of that discharge went to the rest of your phones system. Does this make sense?

The screen will always have the highest percentage because it is the main way you interact with the phone. If something was above the screen, then something is wrong. Further the percentage will always change as some things are used more or others used less.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
ok. so the screen is taking 42% of how much power left on the battery which at that time is 88% at that time.

The screen is main thing I interact with the phone that is right, because of the size and high resolution. but the main thing controlling the phone is the OS and programs, process, apps running. Logically the software part should take more power.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unremarked:
Right and 58% of your battery discharge has gone to the OS, processes, apps, etc. Just the battery analysis breaks them up individually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
why battery taking high percentage at idle, drain battery fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ozymandiaz:
Because if you aren't doing anything but looking at your phone, the ONLY thing drawing power is your screen. You turn everything else but the screen off, and you are suprised that the screen is taking a larger portion of what's used?

If you have 2 hotdogs and 2 hamburgers, you have 50% hot dogs. If you turn off one of the hamburgers, that leaves you 2 hotdogs and 1 hamburger. Your hotdog hasn't changed, but now you have 66.6 percent hot dogs. Now, read that again, and say screen instead of hotdogs, and other services instead of hamburgers. The more things you do with the phone, the less percentage of battery use the screen will show. It doesn't mean the screen is using less, it just means that there were more things drawing power. When the screen percentage goes up, it doesn't mean the screen is using more, it means that LESS other things are drawing power during that period of time. And to go back to the example where your battery was at 88 percent, and the screen drew 42 percent of the discharge, that means your screen used 42 percent of 12 percent of your battery. So, it used less than 6 percent of the total charge available in the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] citrix80:
what about charged 100%? right now I charge battery to 100%, screen at 65%, idle. logically that is high.

now I see the hours in the graph means how long time I have been using the device at that charge, not how long the battery will last.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Again, no, it's not. If it's charged 100%, you take it off the charger, and it uses a fraction of a percent of battery, then that means the screen used 65% of that fraction of a percent, not 65% of the battery overall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jon_H:
Right this might be really noobish - if so sorry.

Unremarked you said:

However I've just got 1d 11h 41m out of mine and the OS is the highest percentage use at 62%, Idle is at 10% and the screen at 9%!

Is there something massively wrong with my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
No, it probably means you didn't use your phone much. What was your screen-on time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jon_H:
That's a good point, I've just checked and it's only an hour and a half - so yes that would be it!

Thanks very much!

:(((((

I try all the ways, but worthless!!!! Spend 2 days trying to work, bought root explorer, and still nothing..... When i edit a build.prop, it says saved, but then i can t find it in system folder.... so i was thinking to do some changes in ICS rom.zip.... open a rom who is on my laptop and go to system and change there build.prop.... and then flashed again my ICS rom!!!! There it is, went to abote phone and it says Desire HD :)))))))))

So i download a game and played... but then i try to open camera, torch,and some other app, but they didn t work...don t know why???? :((((( Bad!!!!

So i flash again orginal ICS rom with org build rom, and the apps were fine, but MC3 didn t started(stuck at cheaking the licence)

Still i didn t know why i coludn t make changes in root explorer(set to R/W), and finally figure that out by rebooting my phone in recovery.... i saw that i have S-ON(safety ON).... that must be it....

There is a way to move it :))))))

I m at work now, but when i get home, i ll try to make S-OFF and try again!!!

Glad if i help!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Patchworks:
Ok I was moving over Andriod from WM65 Energy rom and started to install the MAGLDR and it seemed to load up fine! But once I rebooted, I just get the Energy ROM screen and it won't go further.

Even if I put it back in to BootLoad mode I can't get ActiveSync to connect to continue!

Any ideas?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kezmdor:
WinMo ROMs and Android ROMs need different SPL versions. You should reset your HD2 using this step by step guide: http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/01/how-to-upgrade-htc-hd2-rom-through-sd-card-video/

You should take the latest stock ROM available, since this includes the latest Radio ROM which you need to run most Android ROMs. Afterwards I suggest installing HSPL2.08 and MAGLDR, CWM again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Patchworks:
Ok, I downloaded the stock rom and extracted the RUU and renamed to leoimg.nbh and did the bootloader thing and it didn't work!

What do I try next?

I know I've had to do the Task29 before when it got like this. Is that what I need to do again?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
no need for task29.

there are two 'musts' for magldr to work

1 spl MUST be 2.08.hspl ONLY, no other will work.

In bootloader, does teh spl line say 2.08.hspl? no? magldr will not appear, even though it is flashed ok.

2 radio MUST be one that is compatible with the fabled 576meg ram trick, or to put it another way, it must be compatible with tmous phones, or a third way, it must be a x.xx.50. version radio, not a x.xx.51. version. Also, 2.05.50 and 2.06.50 will not work either. The one that came with your phone wont work, (assuming you don't have a tmous, if you DO have a tmous, you dont need to change radio.)

For ease, go flash radio 2.15.50

When both these conditions are met, and only then, magldr will start.

So, as you are now, ,

phone into bootloader

flash 2.08.hspl

phone back into bootloader

flash radio 2.15.50

back into bootloader

flash magldr

restart.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Patchworks:
I believe this is my problem! A while back I mistakenly thought HSPL 3 was an updated version so I put it on. It is the SPL-3.03.HSPL. I'm not sure how to get it off and it doesn't seem to connect via activestink and it doesn't seem to wanna upgade off my card. leoimg.nbh is in root and booted in to bootload mode!

g
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kezmdor:
Just go back to the boot loader, connect your PC via USB and flash HSPL 2.08 over again. The HSPL application scans which SPL is installed and provides you the SPLs you can flash. 2.08HSPL is your choice.

Also search for radio master thread for HD2 in this forum, download and flash latest radio ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Patchworks:
Well, tried reloading of HSPL2 and I got an critical error bad SPL version!

I'll be searching around for this new error if anyone has a solution!

Also, if someone has time to get on Skype, I don't mind dropping down a tip!

p

UPDATED:

Ok, the trick was to use HSPL4 and then downgrade to HSPL2! Back on track! For now!! ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
You arent thinking right about exactly what hspl2, 3 and 4 are. There was no need to even use hspl2, hspl4 can set 2.08.hspl

hspl2 hspl3 and hspl4 aren't different 'versions' of hspl in the way you think, , selecting 2.08.hspl using hspl2 or hspl3 or hspl4 gives the very same 2.08.hspl, no difference. The .exe's are just loader programs, the only difference between them is the phone models and spl's each supports. so when you went to stock and no doubt ended up with spl 3.03.0000 hspl2 wouldnt work because it requires a starting spl of 2.08 or lower, as does hspl3.

using hspl4 does work, because it was released for just that reason, to support spl 3.03, its not 'better' or a higher version than hspl3, its just been tweaked to support more spl's.
[Kindle Fire General] iDylan1357:
just thought I'd post as a quick note;

if you wish to restore to stock from CM7 or just go back to stock with no root or FireFireFire at all, TWRP works for it. quick tutorial:

1. download amazon's stock software: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_navbox_kspot_fireupdate?nodeId=200790620

2. rename it to update.zip and place on root of sdcard

3. boot into TWRP and wipe cache, dalvik cache and factory reset

4. flash update.zip, however it will stop the install mid-way and say it can not find the misc volume or something, but fear not

5. boot up and you'll be restored to stock! note FireFireFire and TWRP will have to be re-installed as well as re-root

I had issues at first boot like WiFi not working, but a factory reset changed that. now I'm gonna reinstall FFF and TWRP for some kernel action :D
[Kindle Fire General] gqkevyn:
This worked for my Kindle Fire. But it did give me a scare though, since after I flashed it the Kindle Fire seemed to be on a boot loop as it kept blinking the "Kindle Fire" boot screen over and over, but then it suddenly started up.
[Kindle Fire General] lonelliott:
When I try to do this, I get an error from TWRP saying that it could not mount /sdcard/udpate.zip, any ideas?
[Kindle Fire General] hubono:
Make sure your file isnt update.zip.zip

Check your windows settings for hidden file extensions.
[Kindle Fire General] lonelliott:
Yeah, I double checked that. Been bit by that before. I am using ubuntu also.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Make sure you checked the MD5sum of the file against what it is supposed to be. this would ensure that the file didn't get corrupted in the transfer(s)
[Kindle Fire General] lonelliott:
I will check it again to be safe. Also, I tried to do a restore with a system.img and it said the file was to large, using fastboot and quit the flash.
[Kindle Fire General] tkalli:
Restore to stock from CM7 worked fine.
