For me, it seems it's a software or anything else that needs so much battery power, perhaps the hotfixes or something else.

Sadly, the whole battery monitor progs don't show the needed power per running process, only the current usage. Can anyone with a "good" battery life cann post his current usage? (For expample with SK Tools System Information/battery supply)

Is the backup battery always at 0%?
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
Battlog

How about this. You can log your activities and see how much battery current (discharge) each application is using by the ma figure. It produces a .log file but if you change it to .txt you can open it up in a text editor.

Hope it helps.

EDIT: Just found out there is better info on it here on XDA Raphael forum. Credits to PalladiumTD for this app.
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
Today I tried a new battery, and also with a good battery, I have the same problem...so I think that I have to send my mobile to HTC service and ask for a new one, because it can be an internal problem, maybe of motherboard, radio, or I don't know...but it's sure that is hardware problem!:mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Touch HD General] MobileXMan:
Did you a hard reset and installed nothing else?
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
Yes, I did...I alredy unpacked it and monday I will send it to HTC service....I hope that they will sed me a new one....a friend said to me that maybe this problem for them is called DOA (dead on arrived) and in this case they have just to change it!I hope so!....but I don't like...!

I know that I can reset it pushing the volume control ecc.....someone knows it exactly?Thank you!
[Touch HD General] MobileXMan:
Running my HD since yesterday at 3 pm and over night, i have 86% battery power. Is this okay? Must say, i didn't touch it at all, no wlan, no internet etc.
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
So...Yesterday I did and Hard Reset....Volume Up/Down and Reset red button....at the moment it seems that the problem is over...!

Now I'm installing Duty 1.7 because it works very well, and then I try to use my HD with a lot of application!

If I will be succesfull, whay do you suggest me?....It's however better that I will change my HD with a new one because I'll can be the same problem in the future, or the problem will be over "forever"?.....maybe, do you think that that the cause of this problem could be the encancement of Cash by a tweek? Thank you so much!
[Touch HD General] MobileXMan:
Like i say, it's more a software issue than hardware problem.

What are your wlan energy settings?
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
Now I don't know...I have the default settings of Duthy 1.7V....now I'm charging the battery to 100%, and then I will try how much it'll endure...I hope so!....but this problem was caused because of me (...and a wrong setting in tweek for exemple!) or it's a mobile's fault??
[Touch HD General] MobileXMan:
Hm...report us!
[Touch HD General] Snuurtje:
Im interested in this aswell. Ive got dutty's rom 1.7 too, yesterday I left the house at about 16:00 with 92% of charge (i installed the new battery icon). Ive been showing it off a lot, lol and playing games, and listening to music for about 2 hours. Been on the internet with a HSDPA connection, watched some youtube. Send about 8 texts, called for about 20 mins or so. And by 4 o clock at night when i got home, the battery was down to 10% so thats in 12 hours of usage. I think its a bit quick. Ive added two pics one with the installed taskmanager with dutty's rom, and one with my installed programs. Both edited to make the screenshots in 1 image. Lets see what are the biggest battery consumers. I will try the battery logging app aswell.
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
No....this f******g HD doesn't work....yesterday it seem that the problem will be over, but today I have the classic problem...so I have to send it to Assistence!But I'm very angry, because it's so expensive and it has to work "over-well"...it's considered online the Ferrari of mobile,and normally our Ferrari have not problems...so I want that to the assistence they will give me a new one, because i don't want to spend 500€ to have after 15 days a broken product or repaired...I payed for a new HD, and I want a new and functionally HD!...I suggest to you to send you product to the assistence, because I did:

1)Flash of ROM and SPL

2)Hard Reset

3)Restore Original Brand ROM

4)Try a new battery

5)Change Operator

6)Upgrade of Radio

...and now there are now more solutions!
[Touch HD General] Beards:
Eddy I am almost certain this is a classic case of the software/ROM that is causing this.

I know you have already carried out a Hard Reset but what I want you to do is the following:-

1. Hard Reset.

2. DO NOT install anything for 24hrs and check the battery level.

If you don't get much difference then this is most certainly one of your software titles or the ROM update that is causing the problem.

Next...

3. Install ONE application and test the battery.

4. Carry this out one at a time until you find the culprit.

It could be the ROM, it could even be Activesync but more likely it's a program that is polling your system trying to get online for updates.
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
Dear Beards, thank you so much...I tried it few minutes ago...!I installed the original ROM and SPL, but I have the same problem, exactly the same!

I have a lot of problem...

1)Batter endure -10%/30minutes

2)When I have signal H I lose a lot of GSM signal

I bought it with a friends....I want to say that he has my same software/rom/slp and he doesn't have this problem....yesterday we meet us, and in his HD he had 85% of battery...then he gave me his battery, and when I put it in my mobile I had 78% :eek::eek:...and it's very strange!

My mobile doesn't work correctly....I don't like...my frined have the same product and it works very well!
[Touch HD General] Beards:
Eddy,

Most confusing....

A machine restored back to factory default settings and with no other software installed simply should not behave in this manner.

Unfortunately it does look like you do have a faulty device.

I'm hoping you have an easier time in obtaining a replacement.

If it is hardware it could be a number of things going wrong here.

A terminal on the battery malfunctioning.

A faulty BT or GPS or Comms or Processor etc. chips overheating.

Does it get hot quickly?

Regardless Eddy, when you contact them try to be as patient and nice as possible.

Being nice will get you much more sympathetic response.

Explain to them that you have reset the machine back to factory default and ran it with no software and it still drains the battery quickly.

I wish you luck Eddy........ and do please keep us posted on how you get on.
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
Thank you so much....I will try to be nice...it will be difficult but I will try :)

Yes, of course, under charge and in calling, it beguns too hot in the back!

Now I charged totally my battery, and I leave my mobile on without standby, always with the monitor on, and with "auto luminance"...I will leave it like this the whole night...toumorrow I will check the charged of battery, and I will see...the last desperate test...the system is original and "clean" of software on!

Thank you for everything...;)
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
Don't leave the backlight on it will drain the battery for sure!
[Touch HD General] Beards:
Agree....

Eddy,

If you take the Phone out of Standby that will drain the battery for sure.

If you leave the Phone's screen on all night, again that will drain the battery rapidly.

If you have it set to Auto Illuminance, once again this will drain the battery more quickly than not selecting this option.

The combination of these three items will have a large effect on battery drain Eddy.
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
Ok....test done....at 01.00 o'clock I left my mobile like I said (light always on and radio gsm on)...not it's 10.00....the battery from 100% is now at 19%....what do you thik?

I tried this test because if I leave in standby my mobile the battery is strong, but for writing a message of 100 letters I lose 5% of battery, and it's not normal...so I done this test!....your opinions?
[Touch HD General] projection:
It is totally normal if you leave it with the backlight on ALL night...

After reading all these posts, I am still not convinced this is the phone being faulty and not a case of user error.

Does your phone go into standby mode after 1 minute? Screen completely off? Or do you change the power setting and don't let it go into standby, and then complain about battery?
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
I changed the power settings to "always on"...the screen was on the whole night!...but I'm also not convinced....I send a lot of sms and at the first I wrote 10 message, and I lose just 1%/2% of battery....now just with one message I lose 5% it's not good....mmmmm....I don't know...I'm not sure if it's broken or not!
[Touch HD General] Beards:
Eddy,

As I said in my post above (Post 33 of this Topic). If you leave the backlight on all night this will have a significant effect on your battery condition.

Indeed, if I were to leave it on all night on my Blackstone Phone I too would have the same battery consumption.

This Phone has a large screen with a power-hungry appetite to match.

It is reasonable for a Phone of this type to degrade rapidly if left on over night.

Also, as I mentioned.

Don't leave the Phone in Auto Illuminance as this will again discharge the Phone quicker.
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
I tried this solution just because when I use my mobile the blacklight is ON and so I want to reproduce the same effect....I called my friend about it few minute ago and he said to me:

"I turn on my HD at 6.30 this morning with 100%...I had circa 30 callings and now (11.15 am) I had still 98% of battery"...and this is good,also with me was the same at the beginning...but not this...maybe the blacklight the whole night it's too much, but I have to try with a massive usage!
[Touch HD General] Beards:
Okay..... Let's look at what is different between your Phone and your Friends.

It will be:-

1. The Battery.

2. The Software.

3. The ROM installed.

4. Your Phone's Settings

So....

1. You've changed the battery and it's the same effect. So we can rule this one out.

2. The Software you use will be different to what your friend has installed.

Look at your software that is different and let us know what it is.... Maybe we can pin-point what could be causing the drain.

3. The ROM if different to your Friends could be a problem.

4. The settings you use I assume are different to your Friends.

Try setting up your machine the same as your Friends and see if it has any difference.

Indeed, if it were at all possible to mirror your Phone identically to your Friends then you could compare.

Okay, you will both have different usages but both of you leaving the Phones alone for a few hours may give an indication if there is any significant change.
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
Ok...I recharged my mobile up to 11.30 am....and then I left it on my bed with complete gms signale, and ALL default setting....I didn't have sms or calling....and now I have 97%...but I didn't use it during this time!I'm not convinced....two week ago it workd better, aslo with some callings and sms!...mmmmm....
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
Sostitution is very difficult for HTC service and online shop...I don't know why, thay said to me that my problem is DOA, but they are not sure about sostitution, the can just repair it, but I don't want it!

It's very strange, with original SPL and ROM (brand) I charged it to 100% and I leave it on normally without use it, just ON...and in 36 hors it drained 22% of battery...it's good/normal?

For me it's good, but if I use it, if I wrote message, visit my contacts, watch weather forecast and so on, the battery is not so strong like at the beginning....at the beginning it drained 20%/36hours with a normal usage...so, I don't know...I really don't know!
[Touch HD General] Beards:
20% in 36hrs, considering how you use it is standard for this machine.

Don't forget you have a BIG screen (the biggest available) and any online activity or phone capability is going to add to drainage.

You have what I would call a perfectly good piece of kit.

If your not happy with it Eddy then you would have to look at getting an inferior phone..... and if your thinking of the iPhone, it's battery is worse.
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
It is not clear maybe due to language difficulties but you give the impression that you are leaving the backlight on. If that is the case your battery will not last for very long. These are my settings in System/Power options and I usually have to charge every night which is ok for me. What are your settings?

If you are not leaving backlight on then I apologise for misunderstanding.
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
Ja ok...!

20%/36h it's good also with me, but I had this result with:

.Blacklight OFF

.GSM ON

.BT/WI-FI OFF

.No software running

.Place witha good signal

.WITHOUT USE IT

...so when I use it, it's too much different....for writing 3 messages I lose 5% of battery, and it's not normal, because I wirte a lot of message, and - I repeat - at the beginning I had 100% of battery for 7/8 hours, with GSM on and SMS run, Teeter ecc...so there are a lot of tifference betweet "before/after"!
[Touch HD General] projection:
That's because at start the phone was not calibrated and most likely didn't show battery usage properly.

As everyone said, your problem is because you leave the BACKLIGHT on all the time.

In Power Settings, Advanced.

Set:

"On battery power:"

Turn off baclkight if device is not used for: 1min

Turn off device if not used for: 1min

That will solve it. I am still convinced the problem is with you, not your device.
[Touch HD General] MobileXMan:
I think that, too. I tested my accu and when i do nothing, it's running, running, running. But when i activate wlan, internet... it takes one the and it's out if power.
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
Today I sended my mobile to HTC Center, I want a new one!

I tried all yours suggestions....but I didn't work...and it's normal, because at the first it worked too well, and when it stopped to work, I didn't change settings before, so it's not a my fault!

Dear projection maybe we didn't understand us, because my poor English, but I had not blacklight always ON...I tried it just once...normally I had in the Blacklight settings--->With battery power--->1)10 seconds 2)30 seconds...!

So it can't drain to much battery...and at the beginning when the HD worked good, I had the same settings...!

I have never talked about this, but I had another problem: when I had GPRS signal G I had the normal GSM signal with 2/3 lines, so ok....but when I had HSDPA signal H I lost all my signal and the phone tried to serch it again....In the HD of my friends there wasn't this problem, he still have H with normal GSM signal....also with another sim/operator I had the same problem...and again, I didn't have this problem a the beginning!

So, I hope that now I'll can have a new one and toally functionally!Thank you for everuthing!;)
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
Please let us know if they repair it or send you a new one and how long it all takes just in case we all have to prepare for a similar bad experience. Good luck!
[Touch HD General] black.shadow:
i had the same problem, first my touch hd worked fine and after some weeks the battery drains very fast.

yesterday i have tried schaps advanced config tool 3.3.

there you can turn off "AUTO ATTACH GPRS" on start up.

and it improves the battery life.

so, when you don't need an internet connection all the time you can use try this tweak.
[Touch HD General] Pytagoras:
black.shadow, do you still get MMS when this setting is deativated?
[Touch HD General] black.shadow:
i don't know,... i think push mail doesn't work.

just google a little bit, there is a lot of stuff about this topic in the net.
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
One week ago, I got a new Touch HD, but not from HTC Service, but directly to the shop, because Italian law, can gives me "the power" to ask a new product!

Now it works good, and I hope that it will continue to work good!

I will inform you soon ;)
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
Good news. Glad it has worked out - so far anyway.
[Touch HD General] Beards:
Indeed.....

Here's fingers crossed for you.
[Touch HD General] sbirsen:
Sorry to be a pessimist, but based on the experience that I had, I think this new HD you got will keep you happy at most for 3-4 weeks, and when the battery is actually correctly calibrated, you'll see faster draining.

At the beginning, it seemed as if the battery would last for weeks...
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
No, don't worry to be pessimist!

I think that it's not so correct what you said, because I have a friend with Blackstone, and his mobile is still working well since the end of November!

Maybe I will have again this problem, but I think that if is true what you said, all the people should have this problem, and I think that it's not true!

We will see...I hope so!
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
Today I said...

...now it's changed!

I don't know if I have to smile or get me unbelievable angry...this evening I realize that I have again the same problem with battery!

100% at 18.30

97% at 20.00 (without use and blacklight OFF)

94% at 22.10 (I wrote 1 message)

92% at 22.30 (without use and blacklight OFF)

...so, the first time I changed it, but now STOP, I take with me this mobile, because I want to use it, and I will wait for a FIX by HTC because it's the second product with the same problem...it's not my problem!

Sorry sbirsen what's the series of your HD?....mine is 852...!!!The second product of series 852 with this problem, it's not normal!

What do you think about this?....tell me!;)
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
I get mysterious draining of my battery sometimes when not in use or after I have closed some programmes. It settles down after a while but is as if there are some background processes going on within the OS. Don't panic see how it goes or start from post #2 again ;-)
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
custardo01 what's the series of your HD?

Ja, me too....I have 0 apps running in backgrund, I remove also Gyrator on startup, I closed also HSDPA and I use only GSM...but nothing!

How is going on your mobile in "Flight Mode"??

It's very strange, very too draining!:confused:

You can find it in your HD box....look under the HD's case, there is a number:

[Touch HD General] bigdeal88:
mine had 100% battery fullycharged, all programs closed. gsm mode, hsdpa OFF, put into stand by mode over the nigght for 7 hours, left 75%

soft reset become 47%

HOLY CRAP! it wasnt like this when i got the phone! what are they thinking!!!
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
...I think that your problem is worst than mine!

No no...it's not so good...I can't believe that a "big brand" like HTC didn't check their products...with me it's the second HD with the same problem...mmmmmmm there's something wrong!...I have Dutty 1.7 with SPL Olinex 1.14, but I had this problem with mobile original....I don't know!

This night I tried to recharge it not via USB, but in an home power plug, and now I'm checking!

Did you tried to verigy the daining in "Flight Mode"...maybe the problem can be the SIM Card, or better, the Radio?!?!?
[Touch HD General] Psygnosis84:
I believe it may be a problem with how you are using this phone. I mean after getting another new phone, you have the same problem? I'm guessing the problem never existed and your not calibrating it properly.

My battery is 50% after 2 days but that last 50% dies very quickly for some reason.

Another person mentioned that the quality of the screen is superior, so it draws much more power.
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
Hi guys, now I have the final response of my "problem".

When I put under charge my HD with recharger the battery works vey good,almost 4 days with a regular usage!

If I recharge my HD with USB join to the computer, the battery works very bad, no more that 1/2 days!

So to resolve my problem I always use my recharger, and it's all right!:)
[Touch HD General] bigdeal88:
mine with recharger doesnt give me 4 days. :eek:
[Touch HD General] Eddy9000:
...how much you use it?....if you use it a lot, the display is so big, the light, also under mediun value is strong, touch flo is always running, so....it's like iPod, listening music is ok, but watching movie drain the battery very fast!...check your usage!;)
[Touch HD General] Feromon:
I think you put your device in microwave ;)
[Touch HD General] gecco_nbg:
activeSync using a lot of power

Hi,

for me it was mostly activeSync that was using the power. To get it deactivated you need to create a fake entry for an exchange server and then set synchronisation to manual, otherwise it gets restarted whenever you close it.

Battery life increased for me from less than 20 hours to more than two days.
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
I have a similar problem now. When i bought my device 3 weeks ago, I installed few applications on It without changing the ROM. It used to last for few days before charging it. Now, without any software addition, It drops from 100% to 60 % in 4 hours. Also the drainage from 50% to 0% is way quicker than 100% to 50% ! I noticed also that sometimes when i use the device like browsing it, it last for like 5 mins on a percentage like 65% then it drops suddenly to 61% after 2 mins. Could it be that the battery meter is not really accurate ? Anybody having the same problem ?
[Touch HD General] trice1921:
Sounds like the same problem i've been having. I tried flashing different roms and using the original romwithout installing anything and i still get the problem. The only thing i can think of is HSPL. The problems seemed to start when i used HSPL to try a different radio, but i've since went back to my original. Did you use HSPL?
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
Not at all ! I am taking care of it as I had to pay $1049 USD to get it .. I still dont have the balls to really mess up the system... Although I flashed my old himalaya/pda2k/jasjam dozens of time but this device is another story... It is still under warranty and I know that luck is usually against me.. better stay on the safe side :rolleyes:
