I think it's amazing how well it lasts given what it is. Frankly I've got used to charging all phones daily even old Nokias that could last 4 days on limited use. At work I usually top up from laptop and if I'm gone for a long day by train I usually take the proporta usb charger.

If it lasts 18 hours of typical use that is fine.

I left mine on last night .. yes .. doing nothing but it only lost a few percent over 15 hours. It is now nearly 24 hours later and it is still on 62% .. only a few calls .. background pop 3, weather, 90mins web - in a poor gprs signal area for half of that. Yes .. that doesn't compare to an E71 that can stay on doing nothing for a week but who cares. If you need predictability .. top it up each night when you go to bed and you should never have an issue. This is no different from my 3970, 4700, 2750, Tytn, Tytn II or TP2 .. it's a high end pda .. face it .. it needs daily food. That shouldn't an issue unless your stuck in the wilderness.

if i make heavy use of it.

hspda on constantly.

playing movie 30mins

wifi for around 60mins

calls for 45mins

email check every hr

weather check every hr

from 8am to 11pm i get it down to 18% battery left.

light use.

hspda only on every now and then

no movies

wifi for 30mins

calls 30mins

email manual check about 5 times

weather manual check 4 times

from 8am to 11pm battery remaining is 63%.

so from a personal usage point of view, basically 2-3 days. Not bad IMHO.
[HD2 General] jah:
I have two HTC batteries, the original and a new spare. I have treated them in the same way and the new spare lasts 20% longer most of the time! So the new spare is the main battery now! I pobably have the following use pattern and I have 40-50% battery left at the end of the day:

- Web about 40 minutes

- Calls about 8-10

- Email sync about 10 times a day

- Other general use (high as i spend a lot of time showing others the HD2) - 30 minutes

Always on 3G or HSDPA
[HD2 General] babybungbu:
Thanks you guys so much, really helpful for me :)

So, from your experience, I can say that averagely, HD2 battery can last for roughly 1.5 - 2 days with normal usage. It's not so impressive but I agree with pgamble "it's a high end pda .. face it .. it needs daily food" :)

I'll get HD2 on Nov 30, so tired waiting for that day to come :D
[HD2 General] Seven_PRX:
I have an HD myself (the old 1), and my battery problems started when using myPhone. Even though it was set to synch at 0400 in the morning, I think the app stays active during the day/when it's not synching, and it uses a lot of battery life.

Try turning it Off. Not just setting it to Manual, but Stop using it in the app. Worked for me.

I had a great experience on stock WWE East Europe ROM, almost 2 days with WiFi constantly ON, push e-mail, auto updates of weather and facebook and etc. I applied power management cab

With 1.48 WWE East Europe, it was very bad, less than 24 hours. Same thing happened with 1.43 WWE East Europe that I downloaded from HTCPedia
[HD2 General] DinoZ1:
I go pretty much the same point as hyann

and I am a little bit disappointed with the battery life time, ok it is a 1MHz proc, ok it got a magnific 4.3' screen but HTC sold us different stats, like 8hours video (no way), 12 hours music (hardly) and so on...

Anyway I am still happy and ready to buy a spare battery when available :D
[HD2 General] Looking Glass:
To me it looks like user profile impacts heavily on battery life. But i've noticed also a very slow charging

process, as if regular USB ports and chargers don't fit the Leo demands.

After a normal day usage charging on the car craddle, Usb connected at office, etc., mi HD never returned home below 80% LEO never makes it above 60%, that's a big difference to me.

[HD2 General] NiksonCG:
I just bought HD2 yesterday and what I noticed is that the phone heats up very much when I'm using it. And the battery comes down very fast - I think it has something to do with the heat.

What is the situation with your phones? Does it heat up also (especially lower part of the phone)?
[HD2 General] jakem:
It depends upon usage. If I've been playing games for a while then the back can get a little warm but most of the time it stays cool. I'd expect the battery to deplete faster if you're doing something hardware intensive that's heating the phone up.

In general, I'm very happy with the battery life. I can get much more than a days usage out of the battery which is more than I expect from such a well specced phone with a smallish battery.
[HD2 General] jakem:
I note that Devicewire aren't expecting any stock until March and the car kit isn't due until some time in January. It's a shame that HTC couldn't have done a better job of having accessories available at launch.

What's the point? You can get an official 1230 mAH instead of this smaller 1100 mAH one if you just need an emergency replacement.
[HD2 General] Fadetogrey:
Extra Battery

Unfortunatly battery design is the limiting factor with these devices I just bought a spare htc battery. Its not that big to carry around when you are in a situation where you might need it. Seems to be the easiest way. I dont know why htc dont add $30 to the price of the phone and just include a spare battery. A car charger and a spare battery surely will solve most of the problems of battery life !!
[HD2 General] tsttse:
The point is to save money.... i believe the HTC battery is about $3xx HKD and this non-official one is only $98 HKD (~13USD)... more than 3x difference... I am only getting it for emergency uses... apparently there is a stand that can be bought with a battery that costs $150HKD...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] evilskanker:
Hi there,

Have done some searching but not found anything. I may just not be looking very well, so sorry if that is the case.

On my old HD I remember an app (that you set to launch with the long press of a key) that brought up thumbnails of the apps you had running and allowed you to select which one you wanted to go to. Quite like Macs do if I remember correctly.

Basically I was wondering if there is an app around like that still. Ideally I'd love an app that would do that when I shook the phone, so then I could shake the phone, thumbnails of the apps would appear and I could select which one I'd like to run.

Not sure if there is anything like that or if anyone has the time/knowledge to make something like it.

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] GeitjeG:
There are loads of taskmanagers to be found. Like HTC's taks manager, and there is a .cab which makes this work on the HD2 (search on this Leo forum). I myself use wktask, which give a taskbar with icons of running apps, and press them to give them focus. I do not know of one with screenthumbs....

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
For manila 2.5+ to operate you need windows on your device, i.e. either wm6.1 or wm6.5, though there is a lot of incompatibility issues with wm6.1 and manila 2.5. Miri has done a great job with this previously but rom still had a few issues. If you search Miri's threads you'll find it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ashes:
Hi All.

I'm using Cyanogen 4.2.5 with my HTC (rev 32A).

I've 2 4GB sd card (Kingston class 4 and Intenso class 4).

I've partitioned the sdcard and left 3.6 GB as a FAT32 partitions.

Everything goes fine, and i get my android running smoothly.

However, if i connect it to my pc using a usbl cable, if i try to copy a lot o file to the fat partition, let's say 1GB, after 30MB it crashes.

Android becames stoped, the adb lolcat crashes, and after a few seconds, i loose the usb connection.

I restart the lolcat, and i can see that the fat partition gets corrupted and that fsck is running on android ... this is very strange because ti happens with both sd cards.

I've changed the cable, I've tried with windows XP (in different PC's) with linux, etc ...

It just crashes and corrupts the entire fat file system.

If i use a card reader, there's no such problem, in both sd cards.

I hope someone cal help me.

Regards
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Yaboiaj:
I just had this same problem. I even went to Recovery and tried to see if it would mount and it said it couldn't mount SD card.

Well, I finally switched usb cables one more time and magically it all works again.. weird huh? Nothing is corrupt... But I think just to be safe I will repartition and reinstall everything.

Correction, my problem was with the G1 sorry. I did a google search and ended up here and I assumed it was a G1 :

Hello,

For the third time in one month, my G1 device hangs on the boot screen.

I've send the phone to tmobile two times and they fixed it.

When it comes back, it has firmware 1.5 CRB43.

But now the problem:

After a while, the phone comes up with an notice that a download is ready

(1.6), i choose install, the phone reboots a few times and then gets stuck on the boot screen. I don't know how to fix this or what is causing this problem.

I never rooted the phone, just using the official OTA updates.

I just don't understand why the official OTA 1.6 update is causing this to my official Tmobile G1 phone (bought in the shop).

Anybody who has an idea to get my phone to work again?

I can acces the recovery mode, but reset doesn't fix the problem.
[G1 General] Ace42:
You would have been better off getting cyan rom if you have root, since ota 1.6 is laggy like hell.
[G1 General] B-man007:
try manually flashing the OTA. you can download the update from here

http://getyourdroidon.com/builds/ota/signed-kila-DRC83-from-CRC1.c41b93c1.zip

rename it to update.zip and place it on the root of your SDcard

boot up your phone holding Home+Power

Press Alt+L

Press Alt+S

(it should say something about updating)

your phone should reboot automatically

pm if you need anymore help/clarification
[G1 General] thomas_1984:
@B-man007,

Okay, i've tried the file you said.

It says (in this order):

Finding update package

Opening update package

Verifying update package

Installing update

Installation aborted

So it doesn't install that file, really quick after the installing update the screen flashes and it says installation aborted.

I have an dutch (european) phone, your file looks like an usa update.

I also tried an EU version, but it gives the same error.

The problem is, i don't know which firmware version is on the phone right now.. I guess something between CRB43 and DRC92. Or maybe it has no firmware at all because it just hangs on the opening screen.

@Ace42, i don't have root, never had. Just using official OTA updates.

[Networking] kaelby:
I was enticed to order a free three sim due to the added extra of free 3g internet access which would be handy to check train times etc. I just assumed it would work on my x960, but as it was not on the list on the website to get the settings automatically sent to you, I tried various others, mainly eten x960. As there isnt an eten model which matches that, I assumed that it was because Acer had rebranded some of Eten's models and this was my model.

By fiddling around i managed to get some kind of settings sent to me, but these did not work, and 95% of the time, my phone recognises the sim as an Orange one :confused:

Is there a way to manually input the settings, or another way to get it to reliably work on three.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dgduris:
Ok. I have searched for this and cannot find it.

When I receive - for example - a text message and the icon pops up in the top bar and I click on it...

With the T2, it takes me to the Notification Panel which gives me the battery level and the remaining memory and a message that says I have a text. Duh!

On 6.1 (Fuze), you could disable that through settings>TouchFlo. I cannot find the way to disable that Notifications Panel in 6.5. Is it still possible? Perhaps w/a Reg Edit if not via menu.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ramsfan_Jim:
There is a utility available to turn Notification Manager on or off - NRG includes it in his ROMs.

Alternatively, there is a Reg edit - find the key HKLM\Services\NOTIFICATIONMANAGER\Flags. It should be 0 by default - change it to 4. This stops the HTC notification manager running and restores the default WM functionality.

Cheers,

Jim.

Hi everyone

my first post, I have a problem with my Diamond on Orange.

My data connection seems to lock out if I have been in an area of low coverage this results in not being able to connect to my Gmail account using the email function of the phone.

I have downloaded and installed the wm 6.1 patch for fixing corrupt email account. The workaround now though is when it still locks me out of using my data connection I have to reboot the phone.

I have also installed the official new rom from the Orange site, can't access the HTC site ROMs as my device serial code is linked to Orange

It's very frustrating having to reboot your phone 6 times a day (my office is in a low coverage area)

also since last week the phone makes no sound for SMS, MMS, calendar reminders etc. I have checked the sounds associated with these events and they play ok when you click to test them but not when an SMS etc arrives

please help, I'm locked in to this phone till next Aug

Thanks in advance

Steve
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Try this...

Rather than rebooting your device, have you tried going to the settings tab on TF3D, selecting communications and tap the 'Data Connection' setting? I'm not sure about the stock Orange ROM, it may not have the option to switch the data connection on and off. If it hasn't, try turning Airplane mode on then off again. Your connection should then be re-established.

As for your sound issue... make sure you have the check box selected for 'Events'. Go to Settings / Personal / Sounds & Notifications and check the top most box :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] STEADYBAGGER:
Thanks for the info Graham.

I can confirm that the box 'Events (warnings, system events)' is checked but still no sounds on sms, calendar event etc

not sure where I find the settings tab on TF3D but can try the airplane mode tomorrow at work were I have the low coverage issue.

Thanks for taking the time to give the advice.

Is there a new rom out there I could install as a permanent fix for the data issue?

Thanks

Steve
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Mmmm...

Not sure whether a ROM change will cure your problems. It may just be related to your carrier (Orange). I've tried numerous ROM's and radios, but never had an issue with the data. You could try flashing a different radio. Do you know what version your device is running now?

If you look here, you'll find all the various radios available. I'd definitely start with a radio change before flashing ROM's if you're happy with your Orange ROM that is ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] STEADYBAGGER:
Hi

The Radio is 1.00.25.05, (ROM is 1.93.405.1 WWE)

are these any good ones or should I update to a new Radio

Thanks again

Steve
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Mmmm...

That's what I thought... both the ROM and Radio version are very old (by XDA standards!). I would certainly upgrade your radio, if not the ROM as well. Make sure you upgrade the HardSPL first though or you'll end up with a nice paper weight!

Follow this tutorial to the letter and you'll be fine. That's all I did. Most of the custom ROM's here don't include a Radio, so you'll need to upgrade that seperately. It's all in the guide. If you've already upgraded the SPL, you can go ahead and flash a ROM / Radio.

The ROM I'm using is Gen.Y D2 R4.2 which you'll find in the ROM section along with a host of others. In my opinion, it's the best by far ;)

Hi

Thanks for all your help. I am now running on radio 1.13.25.24 and ROM Y D2 R4.2

Early days but there is defiantly some improvement in data connection/reception but I am still getting the issue where the data connection corrupts and won't connect even when full network coverage is restored.

Thanks for the workaround suggestion re turning airplane mode on then off this does work and negates having to re-boot.

Is there any way I can overcome the basic issue re the data connection corrupting in low coverage areas?

Is a radio available that will up the coverage even more, battery life is not important to me?

Thanks again

Steve
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Tip...

Another way, which may be quicker. On the settings tab in TF3D, tap connections and you should have a 'Data Connection' option. If you switch this off to disconnect your GSM data connection, the next time your device needs to connect it will re-establish the connection. This doesn't help with your issue, but it is quicker than turning Airplane mode on and off.

It might be worth posting in the Radio thread to see if anyone has experienced this on Orange and found a workaround. Like I said, I've not experienced data issues like this, so I can't really help. You've changed your ROM and your Radio, so it seems it's not ROM or Radio specific... it does seem to point to carrier?? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] STEADYBAGGER:
Hi Graham

I’ve spent some time getting used to the new ROM, it seems to be a big improvement over the standard Orange one and I do occasionally get a data connection in my office which is unusual. I think what I really need is some sort of signal booster stuck to the window.

One thing I notice with the new ROM is a lack of a calculator; can I add this on in some way?

Thanks
