[HD2 General] Mithrandir007:
The rom I found the most efficient is the one I'm using right now (XannyTech Pandora 1.1, though I've read that 1.3 is even better), and my radio is 2.06.51.07.

I have 3G/HSDPA enabled all the time checking for e-mail every 30 minutes, and the other services every hour (except during the night, where it's set to manual).

Wifi and Bluetooth are disabled unless I need them, though (I think that leaving them enabled would make a big difference for my battery life).

I usually surf the web using HSDPA instead of Wifi (since it's pretty fast here), unless I have to download bigger files

I'm not sure how much battery it uses overnight since I usually sync it and leave it charging (only forgot a few times) but I'm pretty sure it was under 5% last night.

Changing the radio and ROM really did make a huge change for me.

The same situation when I was on 1.48 stock + stock radio, my phone would probably be around 20-30% battery instead of 75% at 10AM this morning.

Btw, as an update, I've made about 10 mins of phone calls, and surfed the web over 3G for 10 minutes since this morning, and the battery is now at 68% (3:30PM), so it's been off the charger for 31H30 now.
[HD2 General] Spike15:
I had the phone on in airplane mode, en route back from Brisbane (12 hour flight) and listened to music intermittently, and the battery wasn't drained that much. After another flight (2.75 hours) to Vancouver, the battery was still over 50%.

To be honest, I'm actually impressed with the battery life..
[HD2 General] Cass67:
Thanks, at least this gives me some hope .. I usually would use 3g for my web surfing but on O2 uk carrier they have no 3g in my area, it will be like this until i get the HD2 unlocked and get on Vodafone, so for the moment im using wifi ..
[HD2 General] chris_ah1:
geez you guys moan a lot.

I managed to burn through a 3GS battery with wifi+3G surfing as well as e-book use in less than 3hours.......

On the vodafone Greece network last summer I managed to burn through a 3GS battery life in under 6hours with just light SMS and phone-call usage...no web browsing and e-reading like that.

Tehee. You guys are such wusses!

Powerful phones use power. simple as that. they are all flawed with current capacity batteries when you start using the radios+screen AND are on a bad cellular network.
[HD2 General] Cass67:
I believe your statements are in jest but with truth to them .. Yes i know devices use power .. I also have flattened an iPhone battery in around the same time surfing the web, thats not the issue. This phone for me and i assume others is using the battery far too quickly and there is either a solution to be found or a bad battery in play.. Devices like this should not drain doing nothing with the screen off or radios off and certainly not a percent every couple of mins with light usage...

Wussies .. heh
[HD2 General] chris_ah1:
Yes, you got me!!! a bit of jest, bit of truth :)

But I really did burn through a 3GS like that - with very modest use. Admittedly it was on a greek cellular network as they got the 3GS on vodafone before UK got it.

3GS does use a fair bit in standby. What we need is a more reliable 'deep standby' mode for all mobiles like on symbian.

I do agree that it shouldnt be using power when idle and with blank screen and most radios off - but many users seem to be fine.

Given that li-ion battery quality is dire I believe it is more to do with:

a) bad battery batch

b) device not throttling down enough into deep standby - either because a process stops it or keeps waking it when it shouldnt.

Still, now there is no such thing as a truly idle wireless device.

How do people who enable plane mode at night fare with battery life?

Still, I just leave it plugged in overnight. Hell, if i dont do that with my E65 every night (a frugal device) it dies by the end of the day too.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Well, first, I think that making the HD2 as slim as it is was a simply appalling design decision. It's bad in its own right - it makes the phone difficult to hold, and, in combination with the narrow bezel, it makes it too easy to accidentally touch the edges of the screen with your hand, and it makes the phone look flimsy and cheap - but the knock-on effects are far worse: it's as if almost everything has been sacrificed in the mad pursuit of shaving off an extra 1mm - battery life, camera quality, you name it. If it had been up to me, there wouldn't have been a trade-off between slimness and battery life: weight matters to me to some extent, but having something 11mm thick rather than 12mm really doesn't.

To answer your earlier question, I would expect to be able to use the phone fairly intensively for four or five hours, and to be able to keep it in stand-by for a further 13 or 14 hours, and for it to be able to handle all of that on a single charge, with a reasonable margin for error. I find 4 or 5 hours of use is enough to completely drain a fully charged battery; and, while it is certainly possible to make the battery last a long time in stand-by mode, to do it I have to switch off functions that include some of the ones which were my primary reasons for buying the phone in the first place (for example, push email, checking every 5 minutes for ISP email, internet time sync, etc.)
[HD2 General] Spike15:
I guess this is a taste thing, but myself and everyone else that I've shown the phone to think it's simply a beautiful device. They're all impressed by how slim it is, and frankly, so am I.

Normally I'm a holster person, and with this phone I don't imagine I'm going to be any different, but my holster hasn't come off of eBay yet, and I can honestly say that this is the first phone that I actually feel comfortable slipping into my pocket.

I'm interested to know which HD2 you have. I have no problems with the camera in my HD2. I've taken a few flash photos, and an incredibly number of non-flash photos, and I find that the camera quality is exceptional...almost getting to the point where it's on par with point-and-shoot cameras.

As for accidentally touching the edges of the screen, I have no idea how you hold your phone, but it must be different than how I hold my phone. I've never accidentally touched the edges of the screen, and I find that the phone (due to its slimness) is very easy and comfortable to hold.

Again, I'm interested in which HD2 you're using. I'm using the T9193 (Telstra) HD2, and I have no issues with it whatsoever. I'm running on UMTS with HSPA, I use the device intensively, and it easily gets through the days.

It's even holding up here at work. I work in a data center where cellphone signals don't get through the walls, which kills my phones pretty easily, but the HD2 is still chugging along. 72% after 4.25 hours, and that's after e-mailing and texting at breakfast, as well as Shazaming songs and sending a few texts en route to work. I did some web browsing on it, and showed it off to several co-workers, who insisted on playing with it for a long while...one played through ~20 levels of teeter in addition to loading web pages and admiring the smoothness of the interface.

It just seems, the way people talk on these forums, that they expect the device to last longer than an entire day, which isn't realistic. My TP2 never lasted longer than an entire day, and I certainly don't expect it from a luxurious phone such as this one.

I hear people talking about turning push e-mail etc. off overnight so it doesn't drain battery power. My phone is my alarm, and is always plugged in and charging at the head of my bed when I'm sleeping. When I wake up in the morning, I just unplug it and it's fully-charged and ready-to-go.
[HD2 General] terrytpot:
fair point,however, I still feel over 50% of charge lost in 5:30 hrs for just 22 checks of my e accounts is a tad severe...I know I should tweak the manual settings a bit but my hours change daily and if I can get away without having to make daily alterations to how I'd like it to do stuff and when,then I'll be quite happy :). I did actually buy a travel alarm clock last week as the 3 alarms I'd set on the phone didn't manage to wake me on one day as the phone drained the battery overnight before the alarms could go off :o
[HD2 General] vally13:
Hi bros... I'm pretty sure the real loss of battery comes from the wide screen of the Leo so I searched for a better management of the automatic backlight. The HTC management is not good to me : even in the dark the backlight is too high.

I found this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=450318

I just installed it few minutes ago and it works great on HD2. I customized it to have minimum backlight in the night and reasonably low in full light. I will see in the next days if this helps to save my battery life.

Others could try and share.
[HD2 General] johnvfc:
Hello,

I have the following ROM and Radio Version:

Rom: 1.48.405.2 (71294 WWE) (Generic Handset)

Radio: 2.05.51.05_2

There is a ROM UK update in HTC website and I am planning to apply it.

Will I get a newer version of Radio if I update the ROM?

Or do you update the Radio and ROM seperately? If yes how do I update or downgrade the Radio?

Thanks
[HD2 General] matt07930:
I reckon the battery life on the HD2 is great, way better than the Diamond inspite of the bigger screen and faster processor.

Snapdragon seems to be a very efficient processor.

I got my at&t tilt unlocked and works well. But I cant get my data to work ie: internet ect. Any ideas? I'm using it on t-mobile.

Thanks for all your help

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
you need to set up the modem connection for att in the connections tab. I dont have them here but if you search around you will likely find them or call customer sevice and get the:

Access point name:

User Name:

Password:

Once you have entered those choose that connection that you just created to be the one you use to connect to the internet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kimtyson:
Did I miss a memo? He said he is on TMo, why use ATT settings?

To the op, try using my sig to obtain the T-Mobile settings and then set up the data connection. I bet if you searched for something like "T-Mobile data connection cab" you could even get it in a cab file so you wouldn't need to monkey with all the typing in of the info. Good luck. And please learn to search and read before posting.

I see several 2.1 roms on the xda board, but no themes, Am I missing something?
[Android Themes] shadowch31:
A pair of glasses?
[Android Themes] digitallysick:
So you mean that on this theme section they have 2.1 rom themes? Where?
[Android Themes] 2girls1cup:
you're right there is a lack of themes around here. but i came across a good one by opasha. its pure sex
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
I also just finished a port of my Ice Crystals theme for Eclair ROMs
[Android Themes] PlatinumMOTO:
I'm not sure but probably because most people aren't running 2.1 since it's still in test phases right now there aren't a lot of themes the themes are made by people who use the rom and want to make it look better. Most people stick with stable so there's more 1.6 themes than 2.1.

psh hahaha lik hell. i left soggy donuts and started running eclairs since last century. they ****ing kickass :D:D:D
[Nexus One General] gunnner:
Hey - so, I searched for an answer to this, but couldn't find one.

Is there a way to determine whether you're on HSDPA or UMTS on the Nexus One? T-Mobile USA is supposedly all 7.2Mbps HSDPA, right? I'm getting download speeds of max 700kbps in Minneapolis, MN.
[Nexus One General] staulkor:
Most 3G towers havent had their backhaul upgraded to support faster speeds I only geet 700-1000kbps down at my house, but in downtown DC i was getting 3mbps+

Just go to settings, about phone, status and it says UMTS or HSDPA.

In CM-5.0 beta it shows H for HSDPA and 3G for UMTS.
[Nexus One General] gunnner:
Ah, thanks for explaining that. I can see that I'm getting HSDPA if I'm in the middle or just after a big download - seems to switch to it temporarily as needed. Or maybe I'm imagining it.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
If you go to Settings>About Phone>Status, it will either say Edge, UMTS, or HSDPA, depending on what you're connected to. I usually get UMTS when I get 3G, although I've seen HSDPA a couple times as well.

Welcome to forums

As far as I see your device is not HTC made, have a look here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] WarlockW:
Found this over on the T-Mobile Site.

I Take No Credit .. But I will Say Amazingly Enough It Does Seem To Work!

I did find that this settings he suggest seems to use less mem and does seem to run 10-20% faster.

I am not sure why .. but its seems that it does .. hope the settings do not have a adverse effect.

Only time will tell.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You may have noticed several issues after upgrading to the new T-mobile 6.5. ie... slow response, freezing, crashing, poor battery life, increased memory consumption.

I have made a few adjustments and no longer have any of these issues.

In fact for the last couple of days 6.5 is running better (faster) and the battery is lasting longer than before I did the upgrade.

I am not a trained professional. I do not work for Tmobile, HTC or Microsoft. Follow my advice at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage done to your handset. I suggest you check you memory usage now then again after all steps are completed. Mine went from the 70's - 80's to the 50's

Ok here it is:

1. Make sure you used the official upgrade released on 1/20/10. ( I used the leaked version first then the official release and I did find some differences) Please back up your Phone first!!

2. Download NETCFSetupv35

2a. Sync your phone to your computer

2b. Run NETCFSetupv35 on your computer. If given the option choose repair. Otherwise just install it and follow the prompts.

2c. If given the option restart your phone. Otherwise Soft restart your phone.

3. Download Advanced Configuration Tool

3a. Transfer it from your computer to your sd card.

3b. On your phone use file explorer and navigate to your sd card.

3c. Find the file and double click it

3d. choose install to sd card.

3e. If given the option restart your phone. Otherwise Soft restart your phone again.

4. From the start menu choose advanced config.

4a. You will see a warning screen first. Move past it.

4b Press the + next to Power Management

4c. The first 7 options need to be enabled. ( SD memory, MMC memory, NAND memory,Sim memory,Async, PPTP, L2TP)

4d. One at a time select the item then at the bottom of the screen select enable. (via the drop down menu)

5. Select Done (Bottom left)

6. You will be given the option to restart. Select yes.

7. Enjoy your phone!!

* Advanced configuration Tool can be used to tweak many settings.

I dont suggest you change anything under performance.

I did and the system became unstable again. Changed them back and everything is fine.

This could be the answer to the problem that im having with my batter life... Check out my thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623428

Has anyone else tried this??? Can it be verified to work?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DeoreDX:
Why install advanced config tool to the SD card?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] WarlockW:
Well .. I did not do that .. had it installed already :/

Still seemed to work ..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DeoreDX:
I would think it wouldn't matter where ACT was installed, that's why I thought that line was sort of odd. I didn't know if there was some advantage I didn't know about for installing it to SD.

Since it's a program you just run once and forget maybe he wants to keep his phone memory free? I dunno. Just thought that line was odd. I'll be trying it out myself here in a minute :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] WarlockW:
Let Us Know what you think after you rebot .. does it seem faster ? Ect.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DeoreDX:
It seems to be running pretty smooth right now but I just soft reset of course. No hickups using the slider, opening mail, or playing with the Album. Memory usage started in the upper 40's and is hovering at 52% right now. I'll give an update later after using through the day.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Since I already had CF3.5 and Advanced Config on my 6.1 (stock) rom, I went ahead and made the same changes listed above, just to see if it had any effect. It's booted up using a little less RAM than before (38% vs 45%...I'd long ago applied the 2 memory management cabs for the TP2)...and it seems to grow a lot slower too; I've got file explorer, IE, WMP, google maps, and windows marketplace all open and running now, and it's still only up to 51% used.

So, bottom line, it might be worth it for anyone still running 6.1 to give this a try as well...you know, assuming that I'm not the only one left here that isn't on 6.5 yet :p

Update- while closing all the apps I listed above one-by-one, I watched closely and it seemed that the memory is not only reclaimed much faster than before, but it seems like it's (slightly) larger quantities too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] WarlockW:
Does .. it seem to run and open things faster now ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
I think so, but it's kinda hard to tell...Opera and Google Maps both seem to snap open a good bit quicker than before, and button-response etc is as quick as ever, if not quicker.

If you want to suggest a stress test (certain apps/conditions), I'll be happy to give it a shot and report back
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DeoreDX:
After about what... 8-9 hours after my soft reset. With my phone I:

-Received 10 emails

-used Opera Mobile to check the Woot Off 6-7 times

-Looked at another 6 web pages for probably about half an hour of browsing

-Used Google Maps and latitute with GPS

-Beejive IM was on for about 2 hours conversing with 2 different people

-15 minutes of phone calls.

Memory is now at 62%. I'd say I'm ususally normally in the 70's and have probably soft reset at least once by now. I don't know if it's *faster* per sey but it seems to hesitate less now. I've gotta give a big thumbs up to this so far. Definitely uses less memory and less battery so far. My battery just ticked down to 50% and I'm normally in the 30-40's by now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Anyone who's done this:

Were these power settings all disabled (according to Advanced Config) before you enabled them?

Maybe these settings are only an issue on stock roms. I'm running a custom (Valky) rom, and all of these -- except SD card -- already had Power Management enabled for them. Must be a free service included with custom roms...good ones, anyway :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] toadlife:
This morning, I compared the md5sum of the leaked and official versions and they are identical. Either you downloaded a different leaked version that I did or you are imagining those differences.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DeoreDX:
They were all disabled and listed as "recommended" for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Same here...every single one was disabled (again, stock 6.1 rom) when I first looked at them.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mr_sheen:
stock touch pro2 6.5 rom here. I've used the no push internet and 0 sharememsize resproxy thing and i can say that this tweak doesn't do much.

The ram at startup constantly stays at 43% after reboot and there doesnt seems to be any significant benefit on the performance. Dont know about the battery though, will playbaround with it and report back.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] WarlockW:
Stock 6.5 t-mobile rom .. all were disabled for me too.

However In My case .. seemed to make a good inprovment :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Thanks for the feedback. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DeoreDX:
I've never used advanced Config besides instances like this where someone says "Change this setting to xxx".

I guess it's time to go through all of the config options to see if there are others that are listed as "reccomended"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Have you used these settings-tweaks tools? Both highly recommended.

"Rhodium Settings Tool"

"HD Tweak"

Rhodium Settings is probably better/easier overall...but HD Tweak does a few fixes that Rhodium doesn't.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
I haven't...but I'm about to! :D Thanks MCbrian!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
HD Tweak, like Advanced Config, isn't specific to the TP2...so some of the settings may not actually do anything, or if they do something it may not be appropriate.

Rhodium Settings, as the name implies,

is

specific to the TP2 (though not necessarily the T-Mo USA version).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Got it, thanks man :) I was trying to figure out which version of HD Tweak to use (he has one for the HD, one for the Diamond/Touch, and one for the HD2)...from what it says the HD version seemed to work best for TP2 users so that's the one I downloaded.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sc0174:
Hey guys I am the one that wrote the thread on the Tmobile forum about the tweaks. I just hadn't got around to posting it here yet.

I see the same questions here as I did there. Why put the Advanced Configurator Tool on the sd card?

My answer is simply because thats what the sd card is for. I don't mean that in a rude or condescending way.

But why use up the phones memory if you don't need to?

The one thing I forgot to mention when I posted the thread was that I also use cleanram. With that I get the memory usage down to the upper 40's.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Well then thanks from all of us for the discovery! Between your tweaks, the nopushinternet and delresproxy cabs, and cleanram, I easily keep my ram usage below 50% most of the time, even with several apps/processes running...the obvious exceptions being things like Opera and WMP...even IE hardly sucks up any memory anymore, compared to before anyway!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sc0174:
Your welcome!! Glad I could help out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thaddyusmaximus:
Sweet! Did this power managment tweak and the proxy tweak and now I'm @ 44% after a soft reboot with my tmous 6.5 rom. Without any tweaks i'm usually @ the upper 50's and will be in the upper 70's @ the end of the day.

Now if someone can fix the scanning media issue after reboot or sd card has been removed. Issue is you can't play any music using TF3D for like 15 minutes.
