To solve battery problems and make it last longer I highly reccomend everyone upgrade their radio to the latest radio and also install Bandswitch 2.8 which allows you to automatically disconnect any data connections after x amount of seconds you tell it. I set mine to auto disconnect data after 50 seconds. I am on radio 2.07.50.27_2 and with Bandswitch on and I have used up 50% of my battery in 13 hours.

After flashing 1.66 I started to feel battery draining faster. 1.48 was fair enough.

HD2 Battery drain

I have also experienced poor battery life. Mine is different to one previous post which said battery drain slows when down to 50%, at around 50% sometimes mine will drain completely over night with nothing running and email push set to manual. I installed the latest telstra rom yesterday and it did the same thing, went completely flat over night when it had about 58%. I struggle to get a whole days use and I am a light user. I also find if the battery is well above 50% it will drain less than 10% over night, go figure!!

battery drain/gps signal

Hello everyone,

I havent found any mention of my particular battery drain problem yet so here goes;

For the first 6 months that I had my stock rom hd2 from o2 I had no problems at all. The battery lasted as well as could be expected from such a power hungry device.I was getting 1-2 days depending on usage.

Also for the first 6 months I had a lovely strong HSDPA signal at both work and home.

Now for the last 2 months or so the signal at work (about 10 miles from home) has dissapeared and all i can get is the dreaded GPRS which is painstakingly slow.

Along with the loss of signal came the rapid battery drain ,which happens even if I disable the data connection.

At home my HSDPA connection is still good and battery drain is normal.

I have also recently been out hill walking where there was very limited coverage (back to the G) yet here my battery did not rapidly drain.

I know that works a horrible place but seroiusly its not just sucking the life out of me anymore its started on my HD2 now aswell!!!
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
dude turn of wifi bt and other inactive apps and u will be able to get day and a half with moderate usage...i actualy manage to squeez out 3 days out of it once (but that was minor usage)

thought with proper power management turning off data packages it can last far longer
[HD2 General] perryson:
Yes everything bar putting it into flight mode !but no diff for me at work.

100% at 7:30 am then about 21% at 4:30 pm whether using it much or not!
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
if its a new phone let it wear out a bit...in the start when i bought mine it wasnt great battery life either...but seemed after about 20 charges it improved
[HD2 General] perryson:
So the opposite really.

But only in one location (that I have discovered so far).

Surely nothing to do with conditioning the battery or it would consistently drain wherever the phone was located.

Its got to be related to the signal somehow , what I dont understand is how it was fine for 6 mths then went daft.

Just thinking for some of those that are getting crazy drain over night that the problem could be down to the signal strength in their particular area or something?
[HD2 General] airwater9:
A question for you guys, are your phones snappy fast or is everything a bit lethargic?
[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 some kind of Hardware trouble in the cable conection is making it work this way.

Any Ideas? comments?
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
you might try reflashing your radio and maybe contacting your carrier about poor signal/service.
[HD2 General] perryson:
Hi thanks,

I have contacted o2 about the problem but they say that the signal is fine (what can i do?)

workmates on o2 have a good signal (not hd2s though).

I'm a bit hesitant to flash anything (scared!)
[HD2 General] perryson:
Mostly snappy but occasionally it goes pretty sluggish.
[HD2 General] polo735:
Battery life will only decrease with each drain. Leave the HD2 plugged in at all time to avoid unnecessary discharge to preserve the little battery life we do have.
[HD2 General] apaseall:
Couple of questions.

1. does the leo have an auto scaler for cpu ?

on my elf i used a program called batterystatus which offered the abilty to have low cpu speed when you were not actively using the phone. once you did use the phone you had the option of overclocking the cpu.

2. is there someway of finding out all the processes that are active on the phone?

BattLog0.2.3.130 can create a log showing the mA usage but does not appear to give an indication of what is actually running at the time so you have to remember what you were doing.

3. as part of the log created by BattLog0.2.3.130 i noticed that my leo is not always dropping into standby when it should do and that said behaviour is not consistant. seems like there is something that times out after a while but is inconsistant.

any thoughts anyone ?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
1. The Snapdragon processor does that automatically. If it isn't doing it, there is a program/process keeping the processor from going to sleep.

2. Try DotFred's Task manager

3. see 1.

thank you :)

battery drain hd2

Try to format your battery. Let it die untill you can't turn your phone on. Than cherge it fully when it is still off. After that battery uses its all, full capacity. Worked for me..lasts at least 3 days!! with average exploring..
[HD2 General] chalkiex:
I installed the cotullaSPL and since then my battery wont even charge whilst it's switched off... I'm a a bit of noob here so any advice would be greatly appreciated...

I di try and install the latest cotulla and revert back to a sspl 2.0.8 i think... but the problem still exists... I had chuckyROM on there so got rid of that and now have the latest stock ROM... but still the problem persists, so basically the only way I can charge the phone is to take the battery out and place it in a seperate desk charger, but this means I can't use the phone... then when it is charged, the battery is drained within 3-4 hours with bugger all usage, no wifi, no apops running in backround, nothig, just sitting idle...

Help please!

Cheers,

Chalkiex
[HD2 General] nicostar:
well i was having the exact same problem quite some time now but a simple option fixed it for me, i would have my phone fully charged from 6am and unplug the charger at 630am and by miday im on 1 stroke and near to 1pm my battery is dead and phone shuts off QUITE EMBARRAASSSING!

try this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843672

i stumbled upon this trying to find solution to my problem fixed it niiice and goood so i made a post about it here. i hope it works for you, i see it as a common problem because when you get this phone and turn it on for first time use or after hard reset or whatever the hsdpa(3g) is always turned on until you turn it off. 3g on this phone i can say is a real battery gulper. also dont charge your hd2 via usb. keep it charged by wall. bb bold 2 charger works perfectly for me as well (same 5volt 1amp well .8 amps to be exact) and now my phone will last up to 2 whole days maybe more if i BARELY USE IT and if i use it, it lasts the whole day or a day and a half depending on how i use it.
[HD2 General] cagdas:
Battery reset worked for me too, I was barely getting 10hrs from my battery I did the reset yesterday and at 8pm I got the phone from charger it has been 24 hrs and I have 78% that is great. Thanks all that helped.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
Yes, 3G modems use power, and Sense in particular does a lot of data transfer. However I'm paying for 3G and don't want to go back to EDGE speeds!

EDIT: I should note that I don't have problems with battery drain. My NRG ROM will run for about 1.5 - 2 days of normal use. But my "normal use" may not be as online intensive as some users. I only look at web pages maybe once per day. The rest is just Sense updating the various tabs when I check the time, or an alarm, or whatnot.

Battery Drain on HTC

Hello, I have just flashed my htc HD2 from windows 6.5 to Android 2.2, and I have also noticed the battery drains very quickly compared to when it had the windows stock rom. I not sure why it drains so much faster or what I am able to do to rectify it. I will be doing some searching within XDA to see if there is a resolution.
[HD2 General] joeppis:
Thanks, good info
[HD2 General] fred_up:
It does take a few battery charging/discharging cycles for the battery life to settle down after a RADIO ROM flash.
[HD2 General] NigelO:
I've been searching around this forum trying to find an answer to my battery drain issues and I reckon this is the most appropriate thread.

here we go....

I have two HD2s - one for personal use, one for work. This means I can check things out side by side, to see if there's any differences

They are running identical ROMs, OS and radio versions. They run virtually identical apps and they get similar amounts of use.

They are running identical settings for weather updates (every hour and not when roaming)

Both phones run PhoneWeaver, which automatically turns the phone, BT & wireless off at 11:00pm and back on again at 6:00am, with all settings identical between handsets

However, my "home" unit drains in a day, but my "work" handset will easily last three days

At first, I assumed it was a dying battery, so I swapped them between handsets - no difference - the Home handset still gets to <20% by the end of the day

So - I delved a little deeper and I've found the following differences

The Work unit doesn't run 3G - all I get at the top of the Home screen is 'H'. The Home handset is almost always showing 3G. I didn't turn 3G off (or at least I don't remember doing it) and I simply can't find how to turn it back on again. I don't mind turning 3G off, although I need to be able to turn it back on easily, as I use the handsets as a wi-fi router for my laptop when I'm away from home (cheaper than hotel wi-fi, and not much slower)

The Home handset also collects emails from three accounts, at an hourly interval

That's it - I can't spot any other differences (apart from the fact that the Home handset only shows 448MB RAM, and the Work one, 576)

I'm happy to try anything, as long as it doesn't involve hard resets - I'm not THAT bothered about the battery to start re-loading all my apps and reconfiguring the phone
[HD2 General] NigelO:
just to illustrate the difference between handsets, when I wrote the above post, both phones were at around 77/78% battery

My home handset was at single figures by 11:00pm last night - I had to charge it overnight to ensure it woke me up this morning

Just checked my work phone and its at 51%

So basically, one handset is chewing through its battery three times faster than the other :eek:
[HD2 General] Mister B:
3G connection uses more power.

Location of your home might also be using more power for signal due to signal strenth in that area compared to work locations.

Polling for email hourly uses more power.

different RAM values suggests radio/ROM/HSPL might not be 100% same between the 2
[HD2 General] whynot66:
Are you running android? Are the SD cards the same? Install current widget and go to the setting and change it so it records running apps as well as power usage, tick the box to use log file, idle both phones for an hour and compare the log files, they should idle at 3-7mA and go up now and then when sync is running etc..... but if your not running Android then I've just wasted my time :-) but today I have time to waste

#trolling#
[HD2 General] NigelO:
I'm running WinMo 6.5 on both phones

The home phone has a much bigger (and newer) SD card - 16GB, compared with just 2GB on the work phone

I'll have a search for the current widget and see what it tells me

Many thanks for the help so far...
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
The phone with auto email, is it using push, or is it a pop/imap account?

Also, "H" is HSPDA, and is generally the same as "3G". Different towers seem to be programmed to display different things.
[HD2 General] NigelO:
It's a POP account

I can understand the H and 3G bit, but how come I have two identical phones next to each other on my desk, with identical settings, but different results?
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Every phone has different hardware. Some overheat, some don't, some touch screens fail, some don't.

These parts are mass produced at a ridiculous rate and some won't perform like others. Some QSD chips can OC stable to 1.5ghz and some freeze/reset after 1.2.

some just use power a little less efficiently.

"identical" is a bad word to use, no two HD2s are identical even if they use the "same parts"
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
Just out of curiosity, take off the battery cover and see if the "reset" button on both is the same color. My understanding is that early ones came with red buttons, and later ones have yellow buttons.
[HD2 General] NigelO:
both mine have red reset buttons

Can't find the CurrentWidget - anyone got a link? Preferably one with installation instructions, 'cos I'm not overly techy
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Current widget is for Android, not available for WM
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Most of your power difference is down to slight differences in use & different areas they spend the day at.

Your work device is showing HSDPA which is faster network than 3G, this could also mean the network at your work location is a lot stronger & your device uses less power to connect to it, while your home location has 3G but perhaps not a strong signal & your home device is using a lot more power to maintain this 3G connection.

Your home device mail setting is also using a little more power.

You also say they are running virtually similar software, this area needs investigating a bit further as even different builds of same apps can have huge power usage differences.

Also apps running from SD rather than main memory use more power.

An interesting test would be to swap roles of the 2 devices.

Also are the 2 devices using same network provider ?
[HD2 General] whynot66:
Get techy and port android to one of your devices :-) there wasted :-)
[HD2 General] NigelO:
MisterB - sorry, I've not explained myself fully

Both phones are always with me at all times, its just that one is for work calls and one for personal calls

So - they are rarely more than a few feet apart - I don't keep one at work and one at home
[HD2 General] 631836798:
Same here.

I'm running stock WM.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Both same network ?

What software differences do they have ?

The SD card differences also could be related to battery drain as some card sizes & type have been reported by some to cause higher battery drain , although never experienced this myself.

Also the fact that one shows extended RAM & one does not would indicate some difference in ROM HSPL or radio !

I would first do a comparison on all settings such as screen brightness & timeouts & an in depth investigation into software's on 2 devices.
[HD2 General] GregoRA0:
yeah, a agree. my hd2 can lasts about 50h, maybe longer. it depends how long I read ebooks :-)

during night I also have about -4%
[HD2 General] GregoRA0:
of course, when I play games, my hd2 lasts only several/few hours. The shortest life was only 4 hours, if I remember correct :-)

I'm having a problem with battary drain it started a week ago in 12 hours i lost around 33% and this is without doing anything expect few calls that was 1 min each and i was at work it didnt loook for any Network signals i tried to reboot hard rest didnt work to upgrade my T-mo rom also didnt work any idea?

I'm looking for a CAB for the latest Adobe Reader LE.

I was using an NRG 6.5.1 rom which has an Adobe Reader with nice large zoom buttons, I'm assuming that's the latest?

Much appreciated if someone can provide an extracted cab of that! I can only seem to find cabs which are an older version with small zoom buttons...

First off,sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong spot.Now,I've just sucessfully rooted my Hero and flashed using the Fresh 1.1 ROM.Basically the main reason is to be able to install to the sdcard.I've tried just about everything I can think of to get this to work using what I've read on here among other resources online but am still coming up with the 'Ooops! Looks like you...' error,so I went to the thread shown on the error and attempted to do that.I've tried it having my sd partitioned in RA and without.I believe I'm doing the right steps but obviously not in the right order.I have the init.rc and a2sd.sh on the sd's root and have tried the commands using the terminal,everything looks good but when I go back into the app2sd I get the same error .I know I'm probably doing something stupid being this is the first time I've done this but its been bugging the hell out of me.so I just pretty much just need to know the order of things from after I flash the Rom to getting to the app to enter the partition size.also,the app itself,am I supposed to be installing it manually?, like I've been doing or is there something else because I've read on the Fresh 1.1 thread it comes with it and is supported.Any info that might help is greatly appreciated,thanks for your time.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
First - Someone is going to ding you on this post with a "Search First"

Second Fresh 1.1 does apps2sd auto-magically all you have to do is format the SD card with an ext partition in Recovery. No extra work required with the scripts. Yes your internal phone memory will still fluctuate.

How would one start to create YouTube Videos? I would imagine creating comedy YouTube videos would be a great hobby. But how would one start? What kind of video camera, and what kind of other props would be important? Of course I would not expect to gain any subscribers, but after watching popular YouTube comedians, it seems fun.

So I love typing on my HD2 with XT9...until tonight.

I think something's gone wrong with the XT9 dictionary, so how do I "reset" the dictionary back to the way it was by default?

It's doing all sorts of crazy stuff.

I'll type in "missing" (no missed/mistyped keys whatsoever), and it'll auto-correct to "pissing". The next time I enter "missing", it decides to auto-correct to "MSNing" instead. I type "it" and it fixes to "ir". If I type "and" it fixes to "sns"...the list goes on and on...

IGNORE THIS: Apparently someone played with my phone and changed the XT9 language to Spanish...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] anomandrus:
Dear all,

I am frustrated because I can't flash new ROM without having the following problems:

My Manila freezes

After locking the screen it starts to flash

I can't access any menus

This happens after hard reset of the new ROM I am testing (I tested several different ROMs and their latest versions: Dutty's HG, Laurentis, Miri just to mention a few.)

The only new Rom I don't have problems with is the official 1.66 stock ROM.

Before flashing I complete the MTTY process. Of course the phone is with HSPL.

I am from Bulgaria if that makes any difference..

I would appreciate every suggestion!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Petulinek:
What ROM and Radio versions you are using?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] anomandrus:
Well currently I use the stock version of 1.66 with radio 2.06.51.07 flashed to Leo_Radio_2.07.50.27_2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nicotat:
Hi all,

Same troubles for me with last roms.

Reboot without reasons, freeze on white screen without numbers in the left corner, impossible to access to the menus or in the best circumstance impossible to launch Sense!

Currently, I flashed with Duttys V1.5 and everything is allright but impossible to update with new rom!

Thanks for your advices ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] oalex:
Radio_2.07.50.27_2 has been causing random issues all over. Many treads with people rom locked completely and so on. Did you flash the radio via SPL or HSPL?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] anomandrus:
Flashed via HSPL... The unfortunate thing is that the new cooked ROMs come packed with this radio. I tried to downgrade the radio but the problems persisted.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nicotat:
Thanks oalex

For my part I use 2.06.50.04
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ganjbass:
First...you change the splash screen(first screen) ?

Ok how to resolve:

1) Format your sdcard download a ship rom extract and

take any "RUU_signed.nbh" and copy it to SD card rename it to "leoimg.nbh".

2)Do the MTTY process and flash from sdcard

3)Install the hspl again and then flash rom you like.....

and hardreset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bpcue:
Just to confirm I have the same issue using Radio "2.06.51.07". The only ROM I have been able to successfully flash is Laurentius26_LEOV4.0 WWE. Can others please test with this? This might lead to a clue on sorting this issue out?

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] anomandrus:
I haven't changed the Splash screen.. Will give this a try and will let you know. Thank you.

P.S. Question: is it obligatory to format the card? It works well with the official ROM. Just asking because I have 14 GB full on it and no spare one...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bpcue:
This is now sorted. All I did was flash hspl again and udes mtty to flash and the flash was successfully. Sense UI no longer crashing.

Just to add to this. This was not exactly fixed by MTTY. This actually is an SD Card issue. I replace my default sd card and I am back to square one. So I ran a test by connecting my hd2 to the pc and selecting option to mount as disk. Once the SD card was dis-mounted Sense came back online.

The next step was to copy the files created on the SD card I flashed with and replaced the same identical files on my default sd card. And whalla all is now good. I can flash as I wish. I don't think the issue is specific to HSPL, SSPL or MTTY. But to the files created when a ROM is flashed from SD.

You guys can test this and advise.

Cheers
