Hey all! The problem with the HD2 is not the battery and is not any app any1 installed. The original rom that T-Mobile has uploaded has a problem with it. Manila (HTC SENSE) sucks up the battery life like no other. I have no idea how to fix, but I am researching it.If you disable HTC SENSE and use windows default your battery will be perfectly fine. I use my phone all day and I never have to charge it. When I had SENSE enabled my battery would drain in 5 hours even if I just leave the phone.

FYI.... A good app instead of SENSE for the HD2 is SPB Mobile 3.5.3... Its soooo smooth on there! ;) good luck
[HD2 General] eenbox:
I have just pulled 2.25 days (54hrs) from my HD2...

Initial charging was:

12hrs charge... using until empty;

12hrs charge... using until empty; and

12hrs charge... using until empty.

This is what I did in the last 10 years and it worked the best with all the phones I have owned in the past.
[HD2 General] quasi_mojo:
seems odd then.

my kaiser was never far away from a charger! could leave it plugged in for 12hours (even though the battery stated charged after just 2hours) then i'd get 3-4 days moderate use.

but only 4 hours use when using TomTom :(

now with my HD2, the t-mobile staff in the shop (both had HD2's) told me first thing to do was stick in the battery and put it on charge for 8-10 hours. i thought that was sound advice so did as i was told...

unfortunately i couldn't resist after 3 hours and switched on to HD2 goodness :D

i charge when ever im near a compatible charger (a few jabra and LG chargers have the same connector and output voltage/current) or i charge through USB/activesync or when in the car through a jabra charger :s

without charging i get 2 days full use (8-10 hours) of texting/calls and some light wi-fi usage, but again only 2-3 hours when using TomTom :(

then again, even if you had to charge a HD2 by plugging into the forth reactor of chernobyl i'd still have one :)

Must be your phone. My battery life is excellent.
[HD2 General] airwater9:
Previously got 'normal' battery life. This week I got a new 16GB microsd and put all my files on it - immediately got a phone running warm when not being used and battery life falling at an astonishing rate. Formatting the microsd in the phone, put files back on it and problem gone. Try a format and report back to see if this helps.

All this BS on l-ion battery care. Basically:

1) Battery doesn't need priming.

2) Don't fully discharge it often, this will ruin it's life.

3) The occassional full discharge will recalibrate the empty / full calculations.

Overnight (8 hours) with wifi and bluetooth off my phone will lose about 3 - 5% of it's charge which translates to about 15 mins of video or internet - it's common sense really.
[HD2 General] pa49:
You are correct this is the way too treat Lion/Lipo batteries so forget all other advise and I don't care where it comes from.

This will definitely maximize you battery capacity.

And you will need too do it for at least 2 weeks from new.
[HD2 General] troed:
Wanna share my experience with You concerning battery drain:

seems to me that searching for networks in "underdeveloped" regions is battery sucker #1

I spent now one week in Vientiane/Laos on business and had a drain of almost 55 % during 9-10 hrs. Network-service is very poor and HD2 having no connection most of the time and in open places jumping from one provider to the other depending on signal strength. Although I hardly had phone calls during the day (lacking connections to providers) battery drain was very high.

The same with my backup Touch HD (normally at home 1 % in 12 hrs), in Laos 45%.

Now back at home again battery drain reduced to 10% in 12 hrs, on Touch HD 1%-2%

Watching a film with the genious TCMP-player from XDA (1hr 48 mins) at the airport consumed 10% battery.

Seems that signal search takes a lot of energy................
[HD2 General] Halle:
I will never understand why so many people care so much about the battery (iphone users I can understand though lol). On how to charge it to get best possible perfomance, etc. It'sjust a battery. Charge it full then you are on the go! Charge when it needs to charge! If it gets damaged buy a new one for like $30! It's not a freaking iphone!
[HD2 General] pa49:
Well, it's slightly more complex than that, but, not as complex as some would have us believe.

Modern battery cells do perform better when treated in certain ways as well as more poorly if mistreated.

Having as many ways to charge and using them as much as possible will improve the maximum capacity, but again, only so far. After that they are just batteries with a finite life expectancy.

I was fortunate to do extensive tests on battery performance on two side by side examples of brand new Nokias N95s a few years back. Thay were both setup identically and monitored in standy states to fairly compare.

One was charged and discharged repeatedly for a week and the other left on constant charge for a week.

Both were then fully charged and left on standby.

The one which had been on constant charge gave over eight hours more power which represented about 10% extra over the one that had been charged and discharged.
[HD2 General] UncleBeer:
Why would you care that this is being discussed? The truth is that some users occasionally experience a particular app hanging, and their battery just 'goes south' within a short time. Tracking down the cause isn't always easy, so all of us sharing information is surely beneficial.

Uh, what was your petty complaint again? :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] murattiss:
Battery!

My batter drain and heating of lower back starts when I sync my outlook emails and contacts.

I am loosing %10 every hour and as soon as I delete the sync partnership heat is gone and battery life is excellent.

Tried office 2010 and 2007 also played with outlook settings but nothing helps.

What to do with a business phone 8 hours battery life if you sync your emails with your pc!!!
[HD2 General] elburna:
Enable charging while connected to the PC?
[HD2 General] murattiss:
Yes it is enabled, but the heat and battery drain continues after unpligging from pc.
[HD2 General] buzz killington:
ActiveSync

I had pretty good battery life. One night I went to sleep and the phone was fully charged, when I woke up the battery was down to 60% and it was pretty warm, trying to run anything and it was very sluggish. Couldn't figure out what's wrong so I did a hard reset and restored a backup. Not long after it started doing it again. I nearly freaked out, but finally figured out the ActiveSync had been changed to the most frequent setting. I don't know how it changed, since I didn't do it. So I set it back to sync once an hour and everything is peachy again. No problem getting through a whole day on normal usage.

Don't know if some of you have to have the email delivered right away, but turning down the activesync frequency might help you.

Hello

Just a quick question

Few of my contacts are synced with my FB account.

I have birthdays synced with those FB contacts (with facebook only) and then this shows in manila homescreen. Always twice.

Example:

#14th November

-Svetlanka's Bday (All Day)

-Svetlanka's Bday (All Day)

Can this be fixed?

Thanks.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Neville.Holland:
Are you sync'ing outlook as well as facebook?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Sopis:
thx for reply..

no...I actually dont sync with outlook at all

these contacts are only linked to their facebook contacts...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Sopis:
does anybody encountered the same issue?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kieboy:
multiple bday only happens to me when i have sync it with eithr outlook, myphone, fb. they dont overwrite the current dates being set and just add another instance.

But in your case only syncd with FB, no I havent experienced it. Does it mean all ur contacts sync to fb that has bd are having duplicates?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] s4cr3d:
Try outlook cleaner to delete all duplicate records.. works better than modaco dupe dupe
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Sopis:
thanks guys...will try...

I have just realized that I use SPB Backup...so maybe when I restore my contacts and then then sync with FB, Bdays get there twice because of that...

Will try the outlook cleaner...dupededupe helped me a lot back in the days...we will see about this one :) thanks!

Multiple Birthday Displays.

Hi Guys,

I have a very strange problem with my HD. I sync only outlook on the phone for contacts and reminders.

Problem is, all the reminders appear 5 - 10 times on the phone. When checked with outlook, I had only one entry.

Not sure, what I did wrong here.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] s4cr3d:

[General Topics] 66mustang:
There are zillions of apps and ROMs and stuff here on XDA-dev. Some are buried in forum threads going back years.

I quite like to browse through software and fixes just to see what's there, and in the forum format it's really difficult. Anyone think it would be good to drag all the software into a common, browsable location? We don't need all the threads of people saying that they are downloading now, or the development process of new versions, just the latest version and a description with a screen shot.

Ha, I hope this doesn't mean I'm volunteering to do it!
[General Topics] srgudhka:
thumbs up for it.

great idea. it would make it easier for lot many people.:D:D:D
[General Topics] abvmoose:
That would be great =)
[General Topics] paulrockliffe:
I'm sure I posted something similar a couple of years ago, maybe I just thought it, not sure. Either way, this would be awesome. There was a ROM a while ago that had a built in program for getting updates for programs and new programs, can't remember what it was called; what happened to that? I think it was a Hermes ROM.

Is the Microsoft Marketplace an option, or are there costs/hassle involved with listing free stuff on there?
[General Topics] paulrockliffe:
Apptodate it was called.
[General Topics] thedicemaster:
that's just to keep some apps updated, not to install new ones.

and the reason for not using microsoft marketplace is because 1: it needs to go through microsoft first and 2: it costs money to get your app there.
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I think you're thinking of Pocket Download Manager. You can download it seperately from the ROM, but you have to register it (for free though).

Also, an XDA-Developers App store has been done many times. There was Pocket Download Manager, Jak Portal (which became OpnMarket), Gecko (now defunct it seems), FireSale (Gecko successor, also Defunct). It seems only the first 2 are actually still active, but IMO OpnMarket is the most promising.
[General Topics] disQuiet:

[HD2 General] htc-hd2:
In the Dutch ROM when you add a new contact it says for the last name "Achternm".

Should this not read "Achternaam"?

For sure "Achternm" is not an abbreviation of "Achternaam", and there is enough space to spell the full word.
[HD2 General] lucid:
What a fault

Yup, you are right, my Dutch HTC 2 is crippled with such flaws.

1- Achternm , well, idiots

2 -MUZIEK (dont frekking shout at me HTC!!) dont use capitals

3 - Digitaal kompas vs Internet Explorer (mind the total random use of capitals to start with..

I just tried flashing the WWE rom but "vender ID error" (Shouldt that be Vendor ID?) anyway, we're stuck until the two masters release their work.
[HD2 General] KB24@CL:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] djfuego:
As I drove home in the dark with the satnav on I caught the reflection of it in the screen and thought, This would be cool If I could leave the phone on the dash and I could set the display to Mirror making the reflection readable on the windscreen Kind of like a Heads up display.

Is this possible with windows mobile? can anyone code a screen mirror application that works like the screen rotation apps that work with the internal gyro sensor?

I have noted that the idea has been kicjked around but nothing solid has come of it.

I'm actually looking for an app that mirrors the display so if you held a mirror next to the screen you would be able to read it ok from the mirror..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] arghness:
I saw a picture of an HTC WinMo phone that was broken and was showing the screen mirrored once, which would indicate that the hardware can support this functionality.

Is it possible that the configuration for the display driver would have a registry option for something like this? I know that some webcam drivers in Windows have hidden registry entries for this (I've had to track them down in the past due to cameras mounted in strange ways and people wanting mirrored images instead of photograph style).

Edit: I saw it here http://www.modaco.com/content/black...78157/rather-serious-touch-hd-screen-problem/
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Anfield800:
Unfortunately for me the screen decided to fail on my phone. One of those things I thought, so HTC kindly arranged to collect it and sort the problem out.

The phone was with them for just under a week, and this morning it arrived back. Brand new screen fitted . . . and still not working! :mad:

Very unhappy, especially as the accompanying paperwork clearly states that the phone was tested before despatch.

Is this the usual level of 'service' HTC provide?

Wonderfull job! Very smooth, stable and stilish looking release.

Just a thought... it will be even better if you can make all in blue

i.e. highlighting, the other stuff inside, etc.

And maybe some strips... I mean get rid of unused preloaded software

for better performance and memory saving.

Nice work anyway and very very right direction of development!

No, man! The black manila itself is OK! On Top and on bottom. I was speaking about selected items in the different menus like explorer for example. Now when you select something it highlights the default green. The same blue would be nice. I don't know if it's possible or hard to do.

And finally for God's sake, why is so difficult for somebody to invert this ugly WHITE HTC dialpad into black??! And selected contact from GREEN to blue for example?

/That is not a critic to you offcourse. You've done enough already./

If you can do that you will be the first one! I can find several black dialers and all they are "semi" black...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] varungujjar:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] dimitrov2000us:
Yeah, you're right that the green is different and much better than the original.

About the dialer offcourse it's a matter of personal taste but I think if you have the two colors black and specially THAT blue everywhere, it's more stilish and serious.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] dimitrov2000us:
After 24 hours from last charge and a lot of use this morning I've found 65%

memory use and 70% battery.

I thing the problem are the lots of program in the stock release.

Personally I use the phone for conversations (here is the dialer issue), internet surfing (Internet Explorer), IGO navigation and as a music/video player (Core Player).

Lets see now:

Getting started

Marketplace

Messenger

Windows Live

Games

Microsoft My Phone

Facebook

YouTube

Google Maps

JBlend

Opera browser (some like it some not)

Remote Desktop Mobile

RSS Hub

Tons of pictures, templates, ringtones, alarms that nobody uses.

All this stuff for me is completely of no use, memory eater, etc.

Maybe you've searched already the forum and see a lot of people asking

for CLEAN ROM (Basic WM 6.5) so there is a big demand.

All this stuff you can add later if you want as a OEM or third party software cabs.

There are big hits among the chiefs of this forum meeting speed, low memory and battery life for example the TESS 2.5F 6.1 release ROM.

But the combination of stile and performance that you try to make believe me will be unique. You will see the interest yourself.

Cheers.

P.S. I'm don't understand the inside stuff so much but I see that as a rule the people remove "ULDR"" whatever that means...
