Yeah I have

I might try the calibration trick where you:

Turn your phone on and charge it for 8 hours or more

Unplug the charger

Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour

Unplug the charger

Turn on the phone and wait 2 minutes

Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour

Unplug, turn it on and use as normal. Your battery life should now be a lot better

See if it helps

if not I might try a few different roms

Cheers the replys
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeurum_92:
I have tried that also, and also whiped my battery stats with my old battery. But it never helped me.

Let us know if it helped you!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daves2369:
Will do

people are reporting that battery pulls at every turn off seem to help

How much do you actually use your phone to get 9 hours at 50% (display on time)?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeurum_92:
It doesn't helps you to pulln the battery out. After restart you see about 5/10% more battery, but in a couple of minutes its at the same level before the pull:P

Well that was not with much use. Mostly on WIFI and sometimes 3g on. Some browsing and twitter/facebook.

Today i had left 3g all time on and used my phone as I alsways do.

Keep in mind this battery is new and has only be fully charged 3 times, so it doesn't have his full capacity.

See attached foto's!

Been on stock battery and ROM for the first year of my DHD, battery life was absolutely horrible.

By the time I got into running custom roms my stock battery no longer held a very good charge. I picked up a couple Andida batteries, they say they are rated for 1800mAh but after running some tests they are just about the same as a new stock battery.

Been running on them for a few months now and I get just over a full day with my usage habits.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jan.bee:
Has the battery life decreased since you first got them? Or do you get the same result as in the beginning?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt.parron:
There's an app called battery calibration in the google play. It shud help with ur battery life problem, it calibrates the battery after every flash of a new rom

roms also can have a negative impact on battery so make sure that that isnt ur problem

No need fot that app. You can wipe the battery stats with EXT4/ CWM.

Thank you for fast reply.

Maybe I am misunderstanding somthing.

I have been searching. Searching and reading for hours and houers. I`v been on the page you link to.

At the link, it says. "For MAGLDR 1.13, booting from NAND:

Download the file attached

Download a partition layout incl. recovery from this thread which fits your ROM you want to use best and unzip it into "C:\recovery" for example"

Wich refer me to THIS page.

There it tels me to "For MAGLDR NAND Boot;

1. Download recovery with partition size for the type of rom you plan on using, see guide below if unsure."

But the download underneath is dead.

I`s there somthing I`m misunderstanding?

Please feel free to call me an noob. :)

[G2 and Desire Z General] sebastian_henze:
Hi there,

Does anyone know if there is a smartphone planned like the Desire Z?

For me the keyboard is the most important feature of my smartphone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crestofawave:
I recall a thread in which an xda user had sent an e-mail to HTC about this and they mentioned about it being discussed over at HTC Headquarters. They will probably release another phone but I wouldn't expect to make much out of it. The new line of HTC phones will probably be harder to unlock (if it's even possible, that is), and I wouldn't expect a userbase as large as this phones'. It seems like the Physcical keyboard are becoming deprecated...

However, if you don't exactly mind the above I'd say this phone will last you long enough till another HTC Device with a H/W Keyboard is released.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
The One X has already been rooted, before its even released. Although you have to unlock the bootloader via HTC Unlock first (and therefore void your warranty);.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crestofawave:
Not exactly your ideal tradeoff, especially for a phone like the One X...

So, it's still hard to unlock whilst preserving your warranty.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
The phone isn't even released yet! So it remains to be seen how hard it will be.

Talk about impatient! . . .
[G2 and Desire Z General] burtcom:
I am in despair about any new keyboard phones coming :(

I am considering, that if my Desire Z stops working, getting a large-screen dual or quad-core phone. Something like the Galaxy Note. Perhaps the on-screen keyboard will work better for me on a large-screen phone.

I am also worried about the trend towards having no SD cards or removable batteries.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfr34k:
I wouldlike to see that too. The problem is, i cant mind the design of such a phone. New generation Smartphone are thin and stylie. The DZ ist in fact a bit too fat for that. Then if we got the whole thing thinner, we have a lack of hardwarepower, that leads us to lower cpu and ram. :(

I dunno what u think but i can type much faster and more precisely on HWK than on display. Its more silent too. The vibrating Feedback on screen is way louder than that little "click" on HWK, and can make people standing around u thinking "wtf is he raping his phone?".

There are some improvements in my mind too. For example: instead of the "never-used-shortcut-buttons" (at least i never did) there should be "left" and "right". Than u can choose the right displayed word (when typing long words) and hit enter. Makes u saving even more time.

I would buy the next HWK-HTC Sense Phone, definitly!
[G2 and Desire Z General] zaghy2zy:
I am waiting for the next one as well... And yeah, this phone can really last long until maybe HTC releases a new HWK phone... I'm hoping sometime this year... If not, I might jump over to another manufacturer...

Also, I don't think they need to sacrifice power for phones with HWK, since most of us don't mind fat phones like the DZ. I'd rather want to see the next HWK from HTC in the mid to high end hardware-wise. I'd be happy if we get card slot and removable battery. I'm also getting worried about the trend of having no removeable battery. I might be able to tollerate no card slot, but I'd be worried if my phone has no removeable battery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] regius:
I have a GT 7.7 and the experience of typing onscreen is nowhere near the experience of the HWK. I was considering using the tab as my mobile office, however, I will stick to my DZ for that and use the Tab for entertainment and reading.

I dream of a 4" screen quadcore HTC with HWK and card slot. The nonremovable battery wouldn't bother me much.

Also, I don't consider the DZ a thick phone. If you compare it with other smartphone it is thicker, but I find it very balanced.

Just interested to see how things are going to fold out, as I'm considering an upgrade by the start of the next year. I had read a post at some site noting something about htc locking down it's bootloaders thus making it next to impossible to get s-off, et cetera. Hope that's not the case, else there's not much room for upgrade...

Sent from my DZ.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Unlocking the bootloader via HTC Unlock lets you load custom ROMs, you just need to do it through fastboot, since its not true S-Off.

And yes, HTC Unlock voids your warranty. But HTC's claim is that lots of noobs are messing up their phones when trying to mod them, and trying to claim them as warranty repairs. If the problem is really as bad as HTC claims, it seems like a fair tradeoff. Based on the noobs coming here asking for a "one-click root" and too lazy to use the Wiki method, I'm inclined to believe HTC's claim. Too many people getting into rooting and modding, and too lazy to really learn and understand what they are doing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crestofawave:
True that. Some people here always expect things to just happen.

And I'd also have to agree with HTC, whether I like it or not. But I think that the way they address this issue is too extreme. Voiding the entire warranty is not the way to do it. What they should instead do is "modify" the conditions. Although I guess it's more beneficial in terms of money to go with the former option.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
That's true. Unlocking the bootloader shouldn't void the warranty in the case of hardware failures.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tbridgewater:
Same here tried the Sensation XL and the big screen made the onscreen keyboard a little easier, however came back to the DZ for the keypad. Also didn't realise how much I used the trackpad until I didn't have one. So eagerly awaiting the G3 :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] austriker27:
Are you guys just speculating about a g3 or are there some rumors out there??

[G2 and Desire Z General] cybot_x1024:
The MT4GS is a solid phone with a community that is growing steadily. Get it if you can

HTC are now moving away from the traditional way of releasing their phones to having a single phone for each tier as is with the HTC One series of phones, so probability for a G3 is even slimmer now.

[G2 and Desire Z General] setspeed:
Tbh I just looked at the specs for that phone and it isn't really an upgrade over the G2/DZ in any area except camera megapixels (which we all know isn't the whole story with cameras). And it was released a year later than our phone - no-one would want that after having a Vision.
[G2 and Desire Z General] GrievousMcG:
For those in the US on the T-Mobile network, there is a phone coming your way called the Mytouch Slider which is made by Huawei (here is the link: http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/28/t-mobiles-next-mytouch-huawei-ascend-g312-qwerty-hands-on/)

For those who don't want to read the link, here is a run down of the specs:

Apparently it will come with ICS although the model shown in the link has got gingerbread.

A worthy replacement for some of you guys??

Hmmm single core processor coming this late in the game? Also it does indeed look very girly and not as slick as the Desire Z...

Agreed 100%. I would say the major reasons for me going with Android rather than iPhone were physical keyboard first, and then SD card and removable battery close behind.

[G2 and Desire Z General] terminal addict:
Not really an upgrade? While I agree that it is not a high-end phone by today's standards, it does offer some nice little upgrades over the DZ/G2.

I've always wished my G2 had a front camera. The Huawei adds that, along with 1GB RAM and a 1.4GHz S2. Yes I'm overclocked, but the MSM8255T is still 200MHz higher than my overclock. The article says the keyboard and spring mechanism feel pretty good, which already sounds better than the G2 as far as the spring mechanism goes.

The comments about the screen in the article make it sound like the quality should be about the same as the G2, but larger. Let's be honest; the G2 screen isn't exactly "best in class" either.

Oddly enough, the "megapixels" between the two are the same (5M), so I'm not sure why you thought that was the upgrade. Did you read the right article?

Compared to the G2 it will be a faster phone with more RAM, a front camera, bigger screen, and ICS, and probably at a relatively low price.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Frostie123:
Not really worthy of a successor. Although it has AMOLED, it has no LTE, processor is not that much better, and little to none software support. The best thing HTC can do is make a slider off of the HTC One.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Goozy:
Yeah I'm in the same boat as you guys. I love my DZ but would like to upgrade to something decent with a hardware keyboard. The MT4GS is a incremental upgrade, granted it has a dual core cpu and a slightly better gpu but that thing looks fugly. I especially hate the cheap looking navigation buttons and the huge bezel around the screen.

I just got the samsung captivate for my dad and it is actually really good. My main concern about that phone is the lack of community development. Also the keyboard keys are a flat and hard to press.

Milestone/droid is out of the question because of Motorola's bootloader lock policy (and slow updates).

So yeah. I am probably going to stick with my DZ for now until i eventually get forced to buy a touch screen only phone :-(
[G2 and Desire Z General] 2G1J:
There are a couple of ICS ROMs that work quite well. I am running Pyroice desensed right now and it does quite well. It is true, the development activity for the MT4GS is quite slow at the moment. The HBOOT problem hasn't helped anything either.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rwitmer:
Didn't the G2 debut in October? I keep holding out hope that a worthy G2 successor is 6 months out still if anyone holds to the 2 year cycle we saw between the G1 and the G2.

And I totally agree that it should have a keyboard, removable battery, removable/expandable SD card. Stock ICS or Jellybean would be awesome. It's got to have a front facing camera also. The G2 missed out on that last time and I've been envious of one since.

I don't care about skinny. Skinny phones have skinny batteries. If it's beefy then it's got a hefty battery that will run all day long. You can brag all you want about how your CPU is low power and claim it will run all day but I don't buy it. Ask any Galaxy Nexus user how long they can make it through the day without going to the charger.

And it's got to be a power users phone. None of this middle class crap that TMO usually has lately. I'd dump TMO in a heartbeat for the right phone but I'd prefer to stay. And I would definitely prefer HTC did the hardware. I've had awesome service with these guys.
[G2 and Desire Z General] austriker27:
I agree with pretty much all of your points.

Skinny phones are so overrated and annoying. People think smaller/thinner is better. Its not. its about the insides.

Also I agree on HTC better make the best new 'G3' type phone. They rule with regards to everything that matters.

HTC, hear our cries! We need you to pull through! I will gladly switch carriers for a rocking qwerty android!
[G2 and Desire Z General] DRSdroid:

[G2 and Desire Z General] rwitmer:
Here is an article I found helpful that is recent and discussed pretty much what the options are today.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/smartphone-buyers-guide-spring-2012/

They review all the current top rated phones from each carrier plus the physical keyboard ones, ie, Samsung Captivate Glide (AT&T), Samsung Epic 4G (Sprint), T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide (TMO), Motorola Droid 4 (Verizon).

In my opinion, the Droids seem to keep getting weaker and weaker with each generation. And the battery is not meant to be user replaceable which is a deal breaker for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] austriker27:
Thanks.

I read that also a few days ago and should have posted it up here.

For me, I cant quite put my finger on it, but I really cant find myself buying a phone that isnt HTC. For the samsung phones, they feel so cheap I think. And while the Droids feel solid, the closed nature of them turns them off to me. I think HTC is the best of both worlds. I am moving towards thinking of a tmobile conversion to a Mytouch 4g slide. But I want to hold out for the possibility of a rocking "HTC G3" that should (hopefully) be in the near future. Also seems most people really do like it, but then I find a few comprehensive reviews that are not fans of its keyboard (which is the whole point of this thread/quest)
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
I know that i was one that posted about needing a keyboard but i just saw a asus padfone, has anyone else seen this? Seems awesome even though there isnt a keyboard, carry my phone around with me and when im not at work or shopping i can have a 10 inch phone. Such temptation....
[G2 and Desire Z General] austriker27:
Uh oh. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I read this earlier today...

When asked about whether we will see the QWERTY keyboard in future HTC devices, design firm One & Co's Claude Zellweger didn't seem to be a fan:

"As a company on the QWERTY keyboard we're sort of moving away from them in general."

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

full article: http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/20/htc-talks-smartphone-design-from-inception-to-final-product/

Although they go on to say:

"But there's still hope. In response to whether there's still room for QWERTY keyboards in HTC's lineup, Claude said his team's just waiting:

"I think the market's there, the sort of the diehard community, they keep wanting it, there's definitely still a market for it. We feel that putting too much effort in that would take away from our main focus, being a whole-screen device. I think people recognize the trade-off with size. There are a couple of technologies that we are waiting to sort of mature that could make a big bump suddenly in the evolution, that we are looking at very closely.""

finally snuck over the tmobile to check out the HTC MyTouch Slide 4G. wow, the keyboard is absolutely worthless. I thought when I heard other people saying this that they were over reacting. I would never buy that phone not even if someone paid me. Its slow, small, very plastic, and hard to press. And only 3 rows (which I didnt think would make a difference until I went into the store). Wow. Guess my blackberry 9900 wins for now; such an amazing keyboard, just not the greatest size/screen and apps.
