I am having this same problem as well. I've only had the phone for a week, and never turned on/used the Bluetooth function. I performed the fix detailed in the first post on this thread and my time without a signal is now at 0%. I also did a PRL update and am now at 60666.

But when I open up Spare Parts and look at network usage, the biggest item by far is "0" and the bar is mostly blue. This is the same as before I did the CDMA fix and the PRL update. Is there something going on in the background with Bluetooth/the radio that could explain how my battery is still draining so quickly? Anything I need to disable?

My firmware shows version 2.1, update 1. My cell standby battery usage is at 46%, phone idle battery usage at 37%.
[Hero CDMA General] alltimesaresoon:
try turning off the cell phone radio for awhile and see if it makes the difference. EVERYTHING else i tried paled in comparison, syncs, brightness, EVERYTHING.

the cellphone radio killed my phone. turning it off at work, i now went from 4 hrs to 18 hrs. See if that's what's killing your battery, and then you can go from there.
[Hero CDMA General] ryanmcd73:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'd like to keep the radio on so I can receive calls and texts. To me, turning off the radio is basically turning off the phone. What's the point of having a cell phone on if you can't receive calls?
[Hero CDMA General] bubblesmoney:
thanks to every one who suggested and tested the suggestions

thanks to the OP for starting this thread which helped me find a solution to my poor signal and poor battery life problems on the HTC Desire phone.

i now am getting a signal (2-3 bars on PRL provider) where as previously in the poor signal area at one of my work places i almost never used to get a signal in many areas of that site. but now i do get 2-3 bars of gprs signal atleast of PRL provider and at other times i get HSDPA connection too in other areas.

plus as a bonus i am getting better battery life. now 18hours and 31mins after last charge i still have 77% charge left !!!!! thats with wifi on throughout the time and synching on as well, live wall papers etc etc etc on my HTC desire.

i have NOT rooted the phone. it is a factory issue unlocked unbranded htc desire from three network in the UK. all i have done is adjusted the test settings to GSM (PRL) setting and radio band to auto setting. plus i have installed the HTC power control widgets (preinstalled on the htc desire you just have to put it on the home screen. no need to download anything or any toggle from the android market and all the toggles work perfectly unlike many toggles i tried on the market before when i didnt know the htc toggles were already there preinstalled on the phone). plus i have installed 'task panel' which i rarely use for killing tasks and it does not affect battery life like other task killers suppposedly do (advanced task killer etc).

now if i can get the froyo update without rooting the phone then it will be heaven as i am getting fed up of the no memory alerts as cant instal to SD card yet. could any of you geniuses on xda developers find a way to load apps to SD card without rooting just in case HTC play the hero game with updates for software! :)

my problems are posted on this thread on MSE forums (**** cant post urls as am a newbie, so here goes the attempt) http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=2523297 If you dont want to read the long story, then read the solution and my results at post 33 and 34 and there after on page two of that thread.

Thanks once again to all at xda developers for documenting their findings and solutions for problems, this guided me in finding a solution to my problem of poor signals and battery life on the htc desire. could any kind soul who has link posting rights please post the link i have given so that people can see what i did and my successful results to the battery and signal issues on the htc desire

In regards to original post: Worked for me on HTC Hero, I'll post back about battery life around noon CST. So far the battery usage from Cell Standby is like 2%. I'm on "EvDo only" setting on Sprint network.
[Hero CDMA General] azichek:
I did this before and it worked. But after the official 2.2 update, I enter the code and the line disappears, but it doesn't progress to the testing mode. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA General] Big-O-Devil:
hey thanks... it went from 42% to 38% in matters of seconds... thanks.....

have you tried this one. one post above yours?
[Hero CDMA General] Vega:
thanks thats the one
[Hero CDMA General] Vega:
dude im on a evo. i was recommended on the evo forum to try this tip. i was experiencing 40 tws. but i was already on cdma auto prl. what i ended up doing was putting it to cdma only. only till after i noticed that your tip says that this is a visual glitch. but i left it anyways. i am at 0-2 tws. any chance this is a bad thing to have it on cdma only
[Hero CDMA General] ariellestarchild:
it doesn't work I have the Evo 4g with 2.3.3 everytime I enter it it just disappears and nothing happens and my TWS is 48%
[Hero CDMA General] threadcrapper:
Hero using CM7.1 -- TWS is 0%
[Hero CDMA General] 4n0n.gh0st:
I have a "virgin" Sprint HTC Hero updated to FW v: 2.1-update1, SW#:2.32.651.2, not even rooted yet.

The first time I tried this I missed the Menu part and couldn't figure out why it showed CDMA auto (prl). Once I discovered that I missed that part, sure as day, the phone was set to GSM auto (prl). So, I changed it to the correct setting and we will see if I have a better battery life.

**Also, when you check the battery usage thru the Settings menus, if YOU DON'T

SEE the TWS (Time Without Signal) listed, put your phone into Airplane mode for a minute or so, then go back and check the battery status, you should see it listed.**

I read this tip mentioned in this thread someplace, but I just want to reiterate this point for noobs. (like me at this point.) I got lucky and just stumbled into it.

I saw it listed at 0% 'cuz I only waited 45 seconds or so, but this process/trick seemed to work OK.

Can't wait to see if my battery will last more than 2 days now!

Thanks for the info guys!!!!

Whether on Cyan or Desire Alphas...

my market just stops downloading or updating.

I DID sell my tmobile and get att device and this has all happened subsequent to that.

I did clear out my Google checkout Tmobile account listing.

Even if I wipe and even manually reinstall everthing from the market...markets OK...but I think the first time I power off...the market just stops working.

Any ideas?

thanks
[Nexus One General] gj13:
I've had occasional problems downloading from the market when on wifi. Try signing in or out of google talk. That makes the downloads start for me when I'm having that issue.
[Nexus One General] ctnguye3:
I'm having the same problem as you, it was working fine yesterday, but today it stop working, I tried replacing the Vending.apk, but still no luck. I'm using the latest CM 5.0.5.3 rom.
[Nexus One General] hypersonicx:
That happend to me a couple times where, when flashing between roms, all of a sudden all my downloads would pause at "Starting Download" in this case I had to wipe everything and start all over fresh...

Signing in and out of Google Talk didnt work for me but the wipe situation did.
[Nexus One General] rockky:
yeah the wipe works.... temporarily ...first poweroff and.same.result.
[Nexus One General] javucci:
Same problem here.

Seems to be a bug.
[Nexus One General] psylink:
i've had the issue a couple of times, i just canceled the download, backed out of the market. when i went back in it worked fine. i tried backing out while it was "starting download" and going back in but that didn't help.
[Nexus One General] huuub:
I've seen a loooooooot of users with this problem. Haven't got many problems with it till now.

I already tried:

- rebooting

- killing market or clearing market's cache

- going in/out wifi, 3G etc.

- login in and out of GTALK (no problem with gtalk at all!)

- cancelling my downloads etc. All apps I try to install/upgrade stall at "Download starten..." or "Starting download..."

Damn :s. What's going on? Does nobody know what the real issue is here? :(:confused:
[Nexus One General] britoso:
uninstall market updates. There are a lot of threads on this.
[Nexus One General] huuub:
I did remove the updates. Had to accept again, retried, still the same.

Like you say, a lot of threads: but I can't find the cause. Can you.

In the meantime I am still stuck. And I am not willing (for now) to reinstall my device for it. :o
[Nexus One General] britoso:
That works for me, can you keep a logcat running and post the log?

cmd

adb logcat
[Nexus One General] huuub:
here is the log

Can you make anything of it?

I already tried al lot of things... :( :confused:
[Nexus One General] Sistum Id:
Is the market really slow at loading apps in the market? When you download an app does it hang on installing the app? Wiping, fix_permissions, and clearing data/cache in the applications settings didn't work either?

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=1ea082d443f3d16c&hl=en

Basiclly make a new txt file, name it whatever, paste the above text, save it, and adb push it

adb push market.txt /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs/vending_preferences.xml

If you copy it from the google page, make sure you change ture to true in the 4th from the last line.

added marketfix.txt
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
This has been happening to me since I got my first Android device(Nexus One).

First it was the TMobile version then I got the ATT 3G, and it does it too.

Signing in and out of Google Talk always initiates the download so I've never *****ed about it. Hopefully it will be fixed in 2.2

Really weird that the Market seems somehow tied to Google Talk
[Nexus One General] huuub:
Thanks for your advise!!!

Damn.... I was really hoping it would be solved.

I first tried the fix_permissions, which changed a lot of files, except these in the /system/app, which states read only. I guess this is normal.

That did not help, so I pushed that file.

Did not work either. Cleaning the cache again, rebooting etc. no good. :(

It stays at starting download.

Do you want me to do a specific action while doing a logcat?

thanks for helping me!!!
[Nexus One General] britoso:
after you see the error , copy and paste the relevant lines from the log and paste here.
[Nexus One General] huuub:
Ok,

I :

cleared market app cache and upgrades

did the fix_permissions

pushed the file

rebooted and cleard cache and Dalvic Cache

rebooted and went into market and tried some uploads (while connected with google talk over WIFI)

I uploaded the file (logcat.txt)

Still the same...

I pushed the file again while being in the market and made a new log (logcat2.txt).

still : Starting download...

Any experts here taking the time to figure this out? :(

I'm going slightly maaaaaaad...
[Nexus One General] huuub:
I missed one file
[Nexus One General] huuub:
Anyone that can make something of it???? :cool:

Brisoto, can you make anything of it?
[Nexus One General] huuub:
gave up. It had to do with an app, because after wiping everything it worked, after restoring everything with titanium it didn't work anymore :(.

Installed Froy for now.

please let them fix copilot :).

Thanks for helping anyway!!!
[HD2 General] emottier:
Scrolling menus to reach "memory" icon to view remaining memory available is terrible boring...

Does somebody knows how to have "memory" from system settings on home manila shortcuts?

Or another solution?

Thank you in advance.
[HD2 General] emottier:
Fantastic. Many thanks for this tip.

I'll put my experience here.
[HD2 General] emottier:
It works like a charm. Again thank you.

Just a comment/question. Is there a way to change shortcut's icon created with lnk for: "24#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,4 - memory - main" ? As the default icon is not the one in system settings!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
sorry, There probably is, but i can't find an easy way to do it.

The icons are referenced by their position in the cpl file, at the end of the command,

example

21#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,13?\Windows\cplmain.cpl,-6300

(dont know if this actual command will work, its from an old reference, but you get the idea.)

I know nothing of browsing files to find storage locations, but that's how you would do it.
[HD2 General] emottier:
Maybe somebody else has an idea to find address in cpl file.

I should say "Chapeau bas" for your help.

Best regards.

Eric.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rustyman14:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
....are you kidding? :)

That's one basic function of windows mobile, and if you ever need to look for an appointment in the past ("when did I see that person last in my office?"), or for a phone number in your contact ("who's this number who called me on the other phone?"), what are you going to use? That cannot be removed, absolutely :p

Anyway, I suggest removing also the "Azioni" tab with economical quotations.

Also in my opinion could be removed the following:

cleanram

bsbtweaks

htc flashlight

jblend

bubble breaker

internet explorer (is that possible? opera is better)

windows media (is that possible? coreplayer/tcpmp are better)

xdashutdown

All these applications could be reinstalled if you need; since everyone needs to install already a lot of cabs after every flash, these cabs can be easily added to the list. Also, installing these apps yourself, you can see them in the "remove applications" dialogue, so it's easier to update them
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yama07:
remove:

-streaming Media

-advtaskmg

-bsb

-pim bacup

-shake and save

-windows live

-internet explorer

-htc flash ligt

-Tab Azioni

-Footprint

BUT:don't remove tab document!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Only READER!!!!!!!!!!!!

ADD:

-New opera

-facebook tab

CHG:

-Xda shutdown skin
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
I almost agree with your remove list... but it makes no sense to leave document tab. That tab is already remove in simple "axlor lite", so it must be also removed in axlor Xlite...

Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace opera 9.7 with opera 10. If you keep opera 9.7 in the rom, and install also opera 10, there are at least 7MB wasted because you cannot remove opera 9.7 if it's cooked inside.

Or maybe, remove opera alltogether, so anyone can choose to install his favourite, and can remove it afterwards from "remove applications" if needed :D

Also, I used footprints once... maybe it's not that useless, but if there is a free alternative application that does the same thing and is not included in the manila, maybe is better, otherwise probably it's better to keep it

The concept of an XLite version is this: remove everything that is possible to remove, so you have the maximum possible free space. After that, you can install all the applications you need by yourself, but in that case you have those applications listed in "remove apps" and can more easily manage them.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] follettoverde:
Will you use default iconset in this XLite?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] heavyhms:
I've inserted my opionions in quote (green: i agree - red disagree)

Imho it's a good idea to leave the Memory card format utility also.

Removing Office and Remote desktop is not a good idea for me

The best option is to remove only programs provided also via standard cab installer, making this the first "customized by users" rom, like a tailored tuxedo ;)

removing also pim backup, shake and save,windows live it's a god idea.

It's better does not remove Facebook application if can breake the Manila facebook integration function. It's also better do not integrate Facebook Manila tab... better to wait netx more feature rich release: at this moment is a duplicate of Facebook contacts tab
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] heavyhms:
Please, use Anastasia Iconset also in xlite ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Zarxis:
No please, use default and let people personalize phone by themself
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
Diciamo che andiamo molto d'accordo ;)

I think too that the most things you can remove, the better, as long as you can install them with cabs.

XDAShutdown is one of those things, there's the cab for it... and believe me, I never use it :) I just have installed touchx powerbutton actionscreen and I reset from there.

Regarding office mobile... I think there's a cab for that as well, and if you can install just excel and word, then you can save space on powerpoint... maybe I even need just excel, as I never do text processing on the phone.

Also, adobe reader could be removed, probably there are smaller pdf readers around....

Regarding the tabs, if you can add them with mods without cooking them in... then let's remove them as well :P Especially "Azioni"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
Probably it would be a good idea to also remove tom autoinstall (if it's installed and cooked in the internal memory). Anyone can add the program himself to install all the cabs; also, not everyone uses tom autoinstall, me for example, I use Sashimi, which is already installed on my sdcard :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alert181:
pls dont remove

please DONT remove flashlight and shutdown .. this is MUST!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] antoniomistretta:
Hi Ale ! Good idea! :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
...

Some people are just not suited for this version of the ROM.

If you want htc flashlight, xdashutdown, program X, Y and Z, then just download and flash Axlor Full or Axlor Lite.

Axlor XLite is, as the name says, Extra-lite, and contains the least possible number of applications, so if you want something, you install it yourself after flashing.
