I don't think it's firewall because I have the same behavior on a wifi at work and wifi at home:

- sense integration doesn t work

- MS Facebook app works
[HD2 General] Binks821:
bump

Anyone experiencing the same issues? Some ideas of what it could be?

I've cheched in the registry keys mentioned earlier in the post and I had a value "new-inet:1159" for the Proxy value. I've removed it, soft reset, still does'nt work.
[HD2 General] Wiley-:
My facebook integration only works 50% or so.

Half of the contacts I have associated with my facebook friends dosnt show the pic, but they are associated. There should be a force download of facebook pictures to contacts button =)
[HD2 General] ardsar:
You can force the picture by:-

1) Select the contact

2) Go into Edit contact details

3) Clcik on the thumbnail picture

4) Select facebook picture
[HD2 General] Binks821:
At least you can connect.... :(
[HD2 General] Wiley-:
Thanks mate! Really appriciate it!
[HD2 General] Drakknar:
Is your password composed only by letters and numbers or also by symbols? I can't connect using HTC Sense, too, and I suspect that the problem can be similar to the one reported on the FIM thread, where the client can't successfully connect with Facebook if the password has some symbols or special characthers in it...
[HD2 General] Binks821:
Yes I have one special char in the password.

So if I understand correctly, it could be a bad implementation in HTC sense that is not handling correctly special chars when sending them?

It could explain why it's also not working for me with YouTube sense integration, because it's the same password.

I'll try to change my password and see if it do the trick
[HD2 General] Binks821:
Yeah man you are the king! I've removed the special char in my password and it works!.

By the way it was a '&' char so it could be misunderstood by the facebook site if not correctly UrlEncoded by HTC before sending.

Thanks mate!
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
My fb contacts sync fine but my events don't. I used to get all events of my friends synced but now i only have literally 2 events showing and they are birthdays.

Anyonw else?
[HD2 General] Drakknar:
Anytime, I'm glad to help :)

Yes, it's a bug in HTC Sense login implementation; I had this suspect because my youtube account was working fine and it had a different password without any special char
[HD2 General] nadderf:
Have you solved this problem? My events won't update either..
[HD2 General] gwelwhir:
the hd2 user manual (ch: 4 pg: 107) states:

"Your phone will use the contact's Facebook photo when you have linked to the contact's Facebook profile. If there is a contact photo already stored on your phone, the Facebook photo will *not* show in your contact even if you have linked to the contact's Facebook profile."

This -might- be the reason...

On the other hand, even that statement does not appear to be entirely true: Some of my contacts who had photos before "linking", had theirs changed to their facebook photos when linked. (When I removed the links, the "previous" photos came back.)

Might there be a pattern or something else we're missing?

/* edit: just found out: it is possible to specify which photo to use (outlook/facebook) by editing the contact and clicking the photo. */
[HD2 General] blutz:
argh, I don't understand why facebook wouldn't disable all those special characters in their passwords, seems to cause trouble everywhere :D
[HD2 General] Highl1:
did anyone manage to somehow to copy facebook birthdays into calendar (people that you linked with fb account and got their birthday in contact, but not in calendar)

[HD2 General] tomksoft:
Today I have been away from home with my HD2 for few hours. I have noticed that without intense use(only checking mail few times and listening to a bit of music for few minutes, had HSDPA on and Palringo on), I went down from 100% battery to 40% in about 6 hours. That did not seem to be good. I have checked battery life fixes for other phones and checked which are available for HD2.

Here's what I changed in regs:

HKLM\Comm\AsyncMac1\Params

DisablePowerManagement=0

HKLM\Comm\PPTP1\Params

DisablePowerManagement=0

HKLM\Comm\L2TP1\Params

DisablePowerManagement=0

HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class\High_Capacity

DisablePowerManagement=0

HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\MMC_Class\High_Capacity

DisablePowerManagement=0

HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class

DisablePowerManagement=0

HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\MMC_Class

DisablePowerManagement=0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery

PollInterval=20000

// probably time between checking battery status, it's 10s by default, changed it to 20s

Tomorrow I will test it out and report if applying these fixes helps or not. You can check them out too if you want. So far I did not notice any problems after these reg changes, but I am not sure if they help.
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
I think the same can be applied via Advanced Config.
[HD2 General] tomksoft:
I do not know, perhaps. However, not all hacks I have found are available for HD2. I'd not risk playing with advanced config tools that are not compatible with Leo.
[HD2 General] br3nt:
will be interesting to see how the test goes - just dont forget to make a softreset ;)
[HD2 General] jgal:
By the way I must ask You... Where did you bought the HD2 so early in Poland? I'm still waiting for mine...
[HD2 General] 20mihalko:
hope, it will be better :) take a look, if it doesn`t close (or minimize) programs like opera in sleep mode, and if mail is still synchronizing... it should be good, but one never know...
[HD2 General] deaad:
You can also use "Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3" t do so.
[HD2 General] kersh:
My battery have a "problem" and "solution" on drain.

I charge to 100% and then go down to 50% or something really fast. Then from 50% to 5%, last looooooooooooooong,

like

100-50% = 10 hours

50-5% = 25 hours.

have you trying this? Maybe it is the problem and not a really fast drain.
[HD2 General] xmoo:
This is a know thing on phones using the Snapdragon chip.
[HD2 General] mrturq:
i dont get it.

i really dont like the battery life of the leo,mine is finished within hours

and im not using it intense.
[HD2 General] erdoke:
It is not that bad for me, lasts 10-15 hours depending on usage. And mine is used intensely: 60-80 minutes of call, corporate push email; 4 private mail boxes and weather synchronized every hour, RSS feeds checked 3-4 times a day, etc. I expected something like this from the combination of a 4,3" screen and a 1230 mAh battery.
[HD2 General] grapefruitstudio:
An idea

Hi All,

Those of you experiencing battery life issues - are you using the Facebook/Twitter/Weather sync tools in Sense? It appears they don't drop the connection once they have done their sync.

So any of (or all) these tools running means your data connection is constantly on... If your using 3G that's a big drain on your battery!

Try turning off this functionality and see if that improves your battery life, if so then you know what the culprit is.

You could always switch 3G off and turn it on when you want to web browse etc... which would also help rather than turning the Facebook/Twitter/Weather functionality off completely.

Unfortunately it looks like bad coding from HTC...

Hopefully either they or 'us' can fix it soon ;)

Battery life

After a brief honeymoon with HD2, I am back to earth.

Though I love this device, if battery life is due to ordinary use, I'm stuffed.

I'm used to the HD which had really good battery life.

Hopefully it is only settings.
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Data is only a battery drain if bytes are being sent/received. If the connection is idle it doesn't do anything.
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Wellthe battery if I remember is only 1230mAh (or was it 1250) compared to the Kaiser which has 1350mAh and as we all know within a few months there are higher capacity ones available. So keep an eye out on places like batterymill.co.uk etc for bigger batteries.
[HD2 General] tomksoft:
Today, after same usage as yesterday I have 83% left! Seems these hacks really work.
[HD2 General] Ruudfood:
For those complaining about the battery life, did you characterise the battery properly?
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Its well documented that you do not need to do this with Li-Ion batteries. All you can try and do is "reset" the circuit which is used to try and "estimate" the amount of battery life remaining based on voltage levels. This is inaccurate at best and just wrong at worst.
[HD2 General] Pixel:
Why would power management have been disabled in the first place? Any ideas? Have HTC put in their own power management?

My first day with the HD2 today, and I charged it from 40% (as it came) to full overnight. An hour of audible audiobook whilst plugged in, 30 mins of music, browsing, 30 mins of calls and regular email checks on battery, and I'm down to 15% after 10 hours. This seems rather low. I've put these tweaks in, and disabled auto-refresh on twitter and weather (everything else is off), so we'll see what happens tomorrow.
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
Despite adding the battery optimization tweaks I have read in this post and ones I have out in my hints and tips thread, I still am so disappointed with battery life. It just runs down too quickly. The autodisconnect data reg tweak seems to work sometimes and othertimes it doesn't

Lets all try our very best to discover, research on other forums the best way to improve our battery life.
[HD2 General] airwater9:
Idle data connection effectively consumes no power. I know because I tested the hypothesis. Psychologically you think it is saving your battery power by switching it off but it is in fact making no noticeable difference.
[HD2 General] lp894:
I too have TERRIBLE battery issues...but it could be an app that i've installed too. I have installed the Cookie Home Tab, as well as have twitter on, facebook on, and location on. I have a few other 3rd apps i've already installed too. HOWEVER....with Sense UI on, I was using 15% battery/hr...LITERALLY. And that was with light useage and all that junk enabled. HOWEVER....disabling Sense took my battery life up to using about 5%/hr. My useage time increased from literally 8hrs to 20hrs just by disabling Sense UI. My next step is to try those regstry tweaks to see if thy help at all.
[HD2 General] mantalf:
I also have poor battery life. When I full charge the phone and start it, it should drain battery about 8% each hour just leaving it on my desk. no calls, no display switch on. If I touch the phone is really hot. So the Snapdragon is working all the time.:mad:

This theory is confirmed because I have the same time and same drain when I use the phone. So the battery is Ok but should be a program working all the time. I've discovered that getting Manila out from the today screen solves the problem and I reach up to 4 days of battery without charging. The problem is with manila (I've tried maxmanila and cookiehometab)

Further more, as I like manila with manila on the tasks are normal, I have a 99% idle process except one named "documentparser.exe" that starts just as the displays dims and reach up t 90% of cpu use. I've tried to rename, delete and overwrite unsuccesfully.

As the name says, it should read documents and I realiced that I have a lot in the SD, I got the SD card out with manila on and magically the problem solves. :eek: Perfect battery live.

I'm using Sandisk 8GB MicroSDHC level 4. Quite good I think. Tomorrow I'll buy another one to check if the problem is with the card. Maybe is not a bad battery set, but the SD that we use.:o

Good luck
[HD2 General] damnshah:
guys,

Look at LeoCPUSpeed as slowing the processor down when not required helps reduce battery consumption...also, i hear .netCF 3.7.9 helps, im running it but no noticable difference...its under First Post:Important Notes:Battery Drain Issue
[HD2 General] heestionxx:
can you make a cab with the changes from the first site please?
[HD2 General] epos85:
P = I * U

I think many dont know that effect(Watt) of the phone is equal to the battery drainage.

1. You buy a fast ppc with great memory and a fast snapdragon 1GHz cpu, and the screen is the _biggest_ of 'em all.

2. You have loads of fun with the ppc, but see that the battery is draining fast.

3. You complain.

Effect = mA * Voltage..

If you want fast, bigscreen ppc, then stop complaining. OMNIA have the same problem, believe me.

You have some solutions then... But not all want to do this, because they want all the luxury..

1. Open taskmanager and _close_ every app before standby. This is just a nice rule to have anyway...

2. Dont use the automatic backlight setting.. Set the backlight to ~40-50%...

3. Try finding a program that auto-clock the cpu depending on usage. (I remember one program i used earlier with my Kaiser.. Dont know the name..)

4. Turning off W-lan and roaming when going to standby/not using it.

5. Setting wlan performance to powersave.

Im using my phone a lot.. Just by making some compromises, you can use it a whole day without charging...
[HD2 General] mmbika:
In deed? I don't think HD2 fits any other micro USB cables but specific one with which it came along. I have had a couple micro USB cables and the first thing I tried was to confirm this that whether I can plug in any other micro USB cable and non were compatible or fitting HD2 at all

Correct me if I am wrong.
[HD2 General] malex1:
HD2 uses standard micro USB connector, so most cables will fit, look for Blackberry data cables if doing a search, as these are more common than HD2 listings.
[HD2 General] audiavant:
To save battery or get battery to hold longer, turn off WLAN, Biuetooth and data connection when not used.

It increase battery time a lot ):
[HD2 General] webjunky:
These things eat battery's , its better to turn them OFF via task manager .
[HD2 General] vizier:
Radio ROM matters...

I have not read the whole 19 pages of post, sorry if what I will say is already mentioned. However, looking at the last posts I understand that this information can still be helpful for someone.

I can tell you from my experiences with HTC Touch HD and HTC HD2 one thing about battery life: The most important factor is the flashed Radio ROM version.

Some radio versions drain battery very quickly even if you do not install any application and use just GSM connectivity (no WIFI, 3GT etc.), whereas there are some radio versions that provide incredible battery life. I can say that the effect can be 2:1 or even 3:1.

In my case I was complaining about my battery life at first, my HD2 lasted roughly only 7-9 hours on a typical day. Then I flashed a ROM with the following radio: 2.07.51.22_2 and this changed the whole thing. Thereafter I have more than 60 % remaining battery after a typical day most of the time.

Then I tried a radio rom included in a Laurentius ROM, and this provided similar battery life as well. You can check his threads for a Radio ROM with long battery life.

We all now that battery life depends on many things, including your phone usage habits (bluetooth, wifi, screen brightness, how often your automatic email/whether/etc. download settings are, ...), but I advise you to start trying different Radio ROMs if you have a very bad battery drainage issue. That might end your problems.

Also one note to add: While flashing a radio, please check that the radio is compatible with your ROM. If they are not compatible your phone might not boot properly.

Hope this helps...
[HD2 General] airwater9:
I've had great and poor battery issues whilst using the same ROMs so this doesn't explain my battery issues.
[HD2 General] gerhardvr:
Hi,

I'm posting this in return for all the information I found about the HD2 and poor battery performance.

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7066417#post7066417 when I related how I resolved my battery issues.

[HD2 General] unsane101:
Hey all.

Besides applying all the battery consumption tweaks and all the Radio related solutions, I noticed something else; dont know if this helps, but it also raises a new question for me.

The thing is:

I used tbattery for checking out consumption. But messing around I noticed that whenever my phone eats up the batt, it seems to think that it´s plugged to the charger.

I tested it when it started eating up the batt in 1% by 2 miinutes, and I went to the backlight settings. THen unchecked the auto adjust backlight. Then moved the "On external power" slider and the light changed.

So my phone thinks its plugged and drains the batt.

Also sometimes when I make or recieve a call, the loudspeaker is always ON.

And also been through the auto-naviPanel trouble.

I´ve tried everything. And What I think is that in fact some kind of Hardware trouble in the cable conection is making it work this way.

Any Ideas? comments?
[HD2 General] reborn_hi:
I did have the same issue like you and nothing seems to work . So what I did was I flash it back to the stock rom which comes with the radio of course and after a day when the battery is stable for me like when it first came out of the box , on the second day I flash it over to radio 2.057 radio and an energy rom and try upgrading the radio to 2.10 and i can say my battery and problems is gone for good for now.

[HD2 General] saxjase:
Hi - I find the exact same problem! After much experimentation with PowerGuard (think it must be much like BattLog), I have documented current draw doing various things, running apps, running no apps, 2G or 3G, data or no data.... the list of combinations can go on and on... and I think I have done a most of them! :S

Anway, the point of my post is that I recently have found during one test I was losing 100mA in flight mode, screen off and locked, SD Card out, absolutely no apps running and also having used CleanRAM prior to going to standby...

I have the Telstra HD2 with the current HTC/Telstra ROM, Cookies Home Tab... various registry tweaks (including a couple of the non-sd card power management options), screen brightness is manual on 30%, HTC location service enabled but logging off, facebook/mail only update manually so I really am at a loss to explain the variability - I thought it must have been a weak signal but to see 100mA on flight mode... ? ? ?

If anyone has any suggestions on what to look for or try next, please let me know!

Thanks

Hi,

I've just got my HD2 and I've been experiencing the same low battery problems, so I tried the registry tweaks and I went from 100% battery from a full charge last night, to 38% this morning! :mad:

Still looking into what I can do or tweak to try and get to the bottom of this.

CHT

Hey there,

since I am using CHT 2.0 (and also buggy 1.8.5) my battery drain is like 3 times higher than without.

With all from stock, I could watch 2 complete movies on max. backlight and volume in flightmode and still had 50% battery left.

So let's say, without CHT I just need charging all 4-5 days.

Now after 1,5 days it's completely drained.

And yes, even when I switched off everything, just keep homescreen running over night, i lose 20% over night what was before around 3-5.

I am happy for everyone who got no problem with cht, but for that's just crap. I'm just using it for more links without any widgets, but therefore the battery drain is very bad.

As soon as I got the time, I will hardreset and configure everything again with stock, so I can even listen to music and using gps navigation for several hours without needing to charge nearly every day.

i picked it up yesterday to give it a try and am sooooo angry and frustrated at it that i'm ready to give up.

thanks

[HD2 General] lijingg:
I found the battery life is related to the signal. My HD2 used to have weak signal and it keep on draining the battery. I opened the back cover and found the cell antenna did not touch the back cover. Fix the antenna and everything back to normal.
[HD2 General] amdonatt:
its work on wp7.8 ?
[HD2 General] tomksoft:
Indeed, battery life is not very great. However, remember that this beast has 1Ghz processor and huge display. I just need it to be able to hold 24h, which after the tweaks is achievable(normal usage of course).

Agreed. I want to get an extended battery to be able to get two days, not to get one day :(

Maybe a ROM update from HTC will help?
