Battery life and all related posts

I see in nearly every ROM thread that people complain about battery life, people who complain charging two times a day.- Seriously, these comments are useless, really really useless, is there anything we can take advantage from?

Let me explain you something:

People compare battery life between different Sense 4 ROMs and I read battery life differences from one or two days and I just think: WTF?

Battery life has really nothing, let's say 0,1 % with the ROM to do, battery life issues can have many sources.

Most likely sources:

Kernel and its overclocked CPU eats your battery during gaming for example

App's that sync in the background (Facebook!!)

Mail Sync enabled (no-go for people who care about battery life)

...

What I want to tell you that reporting the battery life is worse than on other ROMs is a post which is made by big noobs.

Anyway I want to give you a tip:

There is an app called BetterBatteryStats, it is free on xda and paid on play store, it is really good to have it, so you can check out if your battery goes down very quickly.

Use the app to watch your kernel wakelocks and look if one app is eating your battery.

BetterBatteryStats xda Thread

But please no more complaints about bad battery life, it is your fault not ours or at least HTC for providing weak bad battery hardware.

Thanks

I just have one problem, sound in phone calls its too low, ill try to enable xloud only to see if it change something but...no, sounds its still to low! Other problem is message setting that doesn't work. The Rom is really smooth and I think that is one of the better Rom that I ever use, really good work!! Thanks a lot.

Sorry for bad English
[Desire HD Android Development] Sethielh:
Hi guys,

here is my first feedback after a simgle day use of this awesome rom.

I will just give you comments on "bugs" (if i can call that this way)

> Bootscreen display HTC One X instead of DHD

> During phone call i have Chinese caracters dislayed under contact name,

> Battery drain is normal but seems worst then Sabsa Prime one.

> didn't find any way to display screens using 4x4 grid, it's forced to 5x4 and for widgets it's not always the best choice,

> sound during phone calls is not good, i have lots of noise, applying Sony tweaks is almost mandatory

my 2 cents from simple user.

However,i really want to THANKS developpers for their job, dedication and patience.

That's what I am talking about ,,|,,
[Desire HD Android Development] kswiss86:
:D Hey torxx My gs3 has better battery Life as My dhd with Viper. Can you fix this.

Ironie off;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Sethielh:
Perhaps but my comparison us bases on thé same hardware: gavé only 1 DHD for my daily use. Si i caan compare which one have thé best battery drain.
[Desire HD Android Development] jpeepers:
I will have to disagree and say it does have something to do with the ROM.

If I have the Exact same apps, and Exact same syncing going on between ROM "A" and ROM "B" and ROM "A" is lasting 2 days and ROM "B" is barely making it through 1 day how do you explain that?

Sorry if you are offended that I am trying to provide what I feel is usefull feedback.

I can, from my experience compare the last several ROMs that I have run to this one and say that my battery life is worse now. I have No over clocking, No special kernals and the ROMs are stock and all set up identical as far as syncing, apps, and usage.

.
[Desire HD Android Development] torxx:
Then good luck with finding a better ROM..
[Desire HD Android Development] ricc@rd:
Exactly as you said, the main cause of a low battery life (except from bad apps like facebook etc.) is the kernel.

I tried many many roms and kernels for desire hd (since the first froyo roms 2 years ago), and I can tell you that the fact that many users complain about low battery life with ICS is probably caused by the fact that with GB, they had a better battery life. That's true! BUT users have to understand that it doesn't depend on the rom, but on the new 3.0 kernel!

Using GB roms, we had a lot of very good kernels compatible, that were based on htc official kernel, and granted an excellent battery life and stability.

But, using ICS roms, we have only few kernels, mainly because of the lack of htc official one. And we must say "thank you" to all the great devs that brought us an unofficial kernel with everything working! I'm sure that in a few months we will have even better 3.0 kernels for our desire hd. We just have to wait for further development. :)

So guys, enjoy the work that these devs are doing for us and, if you want a good battery life without undervolting the cpu, just revert back to a gingerbread rom (there are excellent kernel for gb). Stop complaining in the threads of their awesome roms ;)

@Torxx: Correct me if I'm wrong, but in many gb roms I read about some scripts included or flashable in the rom that could improve in some way battery life. These scripts (depending on the kernel) had a good effect in my case, so I would like to ask you: would it be possible to redo them also for a 3.0 kernel? They helped a lot on GB, regarding battery life (for example take a look at these) :D
[Desire HD Android Development] starszy:
I wrote post about battery usage only to include some info from where battery drain come from. I never wrote anything about battery usage in ROMs cause I know that it`s different in every one of them but in this ROM for me battery dissapear just from lookin on a phone, but my settings are the same as in simillar ROMs.
[Desire HD Android Development] Sethielh:
Don't get uppity plz.

This rom is really amazing but as already said, we compare roms based on our daily usage.

We don't change customs just to give bad feedback on a rom ... no ... no interest !!!

Firthermore, i'm not a user of social networks : no FB account, no Twitter account, nothing like that ... just emails, phone calls, sms, internet ...

SO .... my comparison is based on simple observations.

You dislike ... sorry for you ...

The problem is based on Kernel ? perhaps but why Rom cookers choose one instead of another ? si ROMs are by the way source of battery drain.

And please don't say that we can't compare roms, yes we can, and users will always do ... stop thinking that all the users are too stupid to compare correctly ... most of them have enough brain to make good comparisons and feedbacks and most of them have tryed lot of roms.
[Desire HD Android Development] Nieass:
Please .... Will all people complaining about battery life shut up. Even if it has to do with this rom.... It has only been released since a few days. No other rom has been this stable at the first version (ported roms).
[Desire HD Android Development] torxx:
with this one you proved the opposite :)
[Desire HD Android Development] aquifx:
What I have noticed while playing around with roms, regarding battery life is.......the battery needs some time to caliberate itself.

A few cycles, I mean complete cycles are necessary for the rom to give best results.

Try it out, let the battery drain, charge it full, let it drain completely then charge full, see the difference.

The battery power should not drop more during sleep.

Also for those complaining abnormal battery life please put up a screen to show your usage. Applications installed , if 3g data connection active, sync on, which apps are using sync etc etc.

and one more thing Thanks team venom for releasing this ROM. I can only imagine the work put in by you ROM developers to get us an awesome ROM!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] Pop Tarantula:
If I'm not mistaken, not 10 mins after torxx wrote that it is pretty futile to compare different roms, their individual behaviours & most especially their battery life, you appear to have posted a 'bug list' comprising of known issues (if only you bothered doing a little reading first) & complained that another rom behaves differently (well, durr!!) in relation to battery after only 1 day (OFFS!).. even though you will not start to get 'quality' or 'meaningful' readings until at least a couple days &/or charge cycles... so it seems you didn't read his post at all

For myself, this rom is looking solid although I've had a random reboot and some curious running-in-background Awake times that I maybe identified but will only know after seeing how it looks during tomorrow.. & no it's not the rom, it's almost certainly an app I loaded.. Me! Myself! I!

Well, let me just say to those who are still unclear as to what comparing two different roms battery charge/discharge patterns is like... well, I guess words wont do.. so how about a picture

MarckX: I would like to do it myself but when I install ViperDHD I always get stuck on bootscreen. I'm not doing dirty flash; I format everything except SDCard before installing new ROM. But since version 2 I cannot install ViperDHD. Tried a lot of things and one time I got it to boot but screen was unresponsive. Touch didn't work.

This is the reason I'm begging someone to take 2 minutes of their time and write those values. Please, anyone...

[Desire HD Android Development] pjadec:
Sorry, But picture doesn't help at all. Need more info. Battery drain it depends on many different things. How old is your DHD battery? it also affects the battery consumption. BetterBatteryStats app will tell you what or which app drain your phone battery. You can also use Greenify app.

My DHD is 2,5 year old and still it's working fine. Orginal battery still in use. What battery will last, it depends on what consumption is and it will between 3h to 2.5 days. Idle drain is about 0,3-0,6%/h.
[Desire HD Android Development] Rooks:
Well, battery is a big issue. Did not have this problem with another ICS Sense rom.

Secondly, device shuts down itself after some time. Happened this almost 20 times in last three days.

Now, i've switched to Pacha's kernel v2.9.1 but same with battery drain and shutdown issue.

Yesyerday battery drained from 100% to 7% in just one and half hour.
[Desire HD Android Development] pjadec:
Try flash 3.12.xxxx rom with root privileges to check if it's a battery problem
[Desire HD Android Development] Authi:
Hi, it seem that an app is running background and draining your battery too fast.

Try to remove all unneeded app, reboot from recovery, wipe dalvik, and reboot again.

It's not usual that you have battery consumption too high, so if DHD is working fine, and battery has a good health, battery must ofer you at least 12 hours of use.
[Desire HD Android Development] Rooks:
Well I usually install any ROM and before install any apps, I test the basic functions including battery consumption.

This time with this rom , I followed the same steps. I removed virtuous_of from system/etc and system/xbin, nothing extra.

But battery did not perform from the beginning. Although I've an old battery but last time (a few days ago) with SVHD 2.0.0, it was all fine.

Flashing v2.3.0 over the v2.2.0

Hi everyone,

I have been gone a long time and I am glad to see that there is an upgrade to the mighty v2.2.0! :good:

I am downloading the v2.3.0 and I was wondering if I can skip the full wipe step mentioned over on the first page under the installation instructions so as to keep all my apps and configs I made over the 2.2.0? :confused:

Sorry if it is such a newbie question and if it has already been answered! I am still a newbie and I did a few searches but I could not find the answer! :(

Thanks a bunch

Hello,

Is there any way to use radio fm in airplane mode?
[Desire HD Android Development] Authi:
Hi, by design, none ROM is able to work fm radio in airplane mode. Airplane mode switch off all transmisions waves from outside the phone, so is not allowed to use radio or any other service like bluetooth. :crying:

The only exception is wifi signal, so if you use any app that uses that way, you can use it.

Other Keyboards?

Perfect ROM but for two details for the life of me I can't figure out. Checked and read as many threads as I could and found no real answer so I'll just put it out there and hope. Got ViperDHD 2.3.0 and am trying to use another keyboard instead of the parfield arabic one that comes preinstalled. Saw no way to delete the arabic one so opted instead to install Smart Keyboard Pro and use that. Been trying to activate it and change from the parfield one to the Smart one but no amount of long-pressing in any text field will bring up an option to change the input method.

Question---is it possible to use other keyboards in ViperDHD or is that a no go? If so, how? Is there any way to get rid of Parfield Arabic? Also, what about Japanese language? Thanks to any all for the kind assist.
