I posted earlier but i didnt mention my specs.

Artemis v24 WWE

Leo_Radio_2.10.50.28_2

HSPL 1.66 (i dont remember exactly but it's flashed :p)

As i mentioned in my previous post with this setup i have almost 48 hrs of battery life.

I dont know why this is happening but when i had elegancia v9 and a t-mus radio i barely had 24 hrs battery life.

I guess it's the combination of ROM/RADIO and the usage of course. I dont use 3g i mostly use my phone for calls, sms, wi-fi, bluetooth (integraded on my fiesta! I love that!! :D:D) and as an mp3 player, almost heavy usage.

I suggest to try combinations of roms/radios like i did.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
do you stay up for 2-3 days at a time??? If not, can't your phone charge while you are sleeping?
[HD2 General] angelossssss:
Forgot to mention that i use my phone as an alarm too. So it's turned on during the night but with the call receiver turned off (on as a pda in airplane mode).

With this use my phone lasts almost 48hrs. Once with not much use it managed to reach almost 2,5 days :D

I'm very satisfied with my hd2.
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
i did your settings and tests and came up with normal during standby with radio off at about -2 -3 and with it on at about 4 or 5.

but my battery gets the life sucked out of it anytime i make a call or use internet even if its just over edge.

with light usage at work i cant do better than losing 5 percent an hour and ive never once been able to let it go over night without a charge.

at home i have bad service as im mostly in the basement and i know that will drain it but ive tested outside as well. i guess it has to be the radio but ive tried multiple...

angelosss is artemis not available for tmo us? im on elegancia so maybe thats my battery issue right there. although i do love the rom :/
[HD2 General] angelossssss:
I loved it too. Elegancia will always be my favorite rom BUT with t-mus radio+elegancia=22hrs battery Max. And i hate knowing that i have to recharge my phone in less than 24 hrs.

So yes. It's the combination of ROM/RADIO. The artemis for me it's the best for stability/battery life but it's too simple from graphics etc. So i apply the customizations myself (not the elegancia's but similar from Dinik).

I dont know if t-mus HD2 are supported so check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=612580 and you could also ask Mr. Sternas who is the creator/cooker.

For the Dinik's customizations check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=681743

Now about the phones. Searching through forums i noticed that EU hd2 and t-mus HD2 have different specs. Maybe the combination of artemis+radio is the best for battery life for the EU hd2 but for the t-mus could be not. I dont know. You have to try till you find the combination.

I hope I helped you with all these. Good luck :)
[HD2 General] Fif23:
I got messed up with all the screenshots and logs so I'm gonna shoot it straight:

I have the July 16 Energy rom, 21xxx, GTX - stock lockscreen. with Sense off it's still over 120ma after 2 minutes off.

12.07.50 radio

backlight all the way down, radio off. 30s and 1min.

Taskmngr attached.

In the startup folder, nothing special or external is set to run

Battery draw after 5 minutes of being off is 150-250ma

when in use under normal settings (good lighting, radio etc) its 500-600ma.

The phone is useless like this and I thought of flipping it till I saw this thread - I'm charging it 4 times a day.... Battery cycle holds around 4 hours of mild use.

If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated !

Hi,

I am currently running the following registry tweak:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\(Your carrier data name)\AlwaysOn = 1

Obviously the above registry setting forced my data connection to stay active at all time. I personally can prove your finding that running the data connection active at all time does not reduce battery life much or even no difference found.

At least the advantage of doing so that i do not have to wait for the connection to "dial-up" each time i need to access data.
[HD2 General] angelossssss:
Charging a phone (even a ship-phone like hd2) 4/day is TOO MUCH. Try on a different combinations of ROM/RADIO and check the results. If it's still the same then check your battery or check your phone for hardware problem or even both.
[HD2 General] sergbaer:
Hi,

i had also a very high battery drain with my HD2 and tryed 4 different ROMs to solve the problem, but with every ROM i had a battery drain about 1-2% per hour so that my phone could only last 1-2 days with very less usage.

Now i installed a fresh ROM on it and only put BattLog on it to test every App i install with BattLog, and found out that for me it was Windows Live Mail that powered my battery empty in no time.

On the fresh Rom Battlog stopped logging after about 5 mins of standby and the log continued just after i unlocked the slider, but with Live Mail running (for my hotmail email account) it never goes in real sleep mode and Battlog was all the time able to log the battery drain which was about 10-20mAh in sleep mode.

So i guess beacause of this programm my Phone couldnt go into real sleep mode.

So i deinstalled my email acc and let it log the battery over night and voila, my phone lost 2% in 10h and there was no log active all the night until i put it back on.

No i'll try to find another email acc which wont prevent the phone to go to standby and install some other Apps i did have before, perhaps theres another one that sucks out power.

I recommend for those of you who have custom roms installad to try the same and log after each change you make on your phone to log its consuption, maybe its not so much a problem of the Rom/Radio Rom combo but more a bad programmed App.

htc hd2 low battery standby life

i am having the same issues. even bought a new original battery. i am now on the Duttys Leo sense HG v4.1 ROM with the latest radio available (previous v3.5 and v3.8) and with all radio turned off i get 134ma power consumption with microsd inserted (after a couple of minutes when it enters standy) and 97 ma power consumption without microsd inserted.

the total standby time with all radio off and nothing running is 8h - so this is horrific really. what can i do ? i can see no other programs running from the battlog exports. how can i reach that 5ma standby consumption and 1-2 days standby time ?
[HD2 General] fi3ry_icy:
can u guys do a run after a hard reset? or after u have flash a new release of ur respective rom so that we can isolate the problem by doing the test after each change or app is installed?

i had this problem initially, but after i flash a new rom and did the test it was all clear..

after u flash the new rom, do a hard reset and if possible, copy out the stuff in ur sd card u want to keep and reformat it as well..

this should sort out any SD related problem which u are unaware exist.. also, pls take a look at the 1st few post on how the others ran the test and do it under the same condition and upload the log file.. another thing is that if the log file is stored on the SD card instead of the phone memory, the power consumption will still be high and the phone will not go into standby mode.. i found out the hard way when i was logging battlog on my sd card for quite a while and decided to change over to the main memory and the drainage nosedived..
[HD2 General] bmcconalogue:
This thread is extremely helpful - just wanted to say thanks.

I have found if I switch off radio I can get down to 3mA when the phone goes into standby, but with radio on it never drops below 55mA.

With the screen on its fairly bright, but the drain does often jump to 250-350mA, but it does go down to around 90mA when the screen auto-dims, which sounds about right looking at everything posted above, so not too worried about this.

I have ROM 1.66.405.2 WWE, radio 2.07.51.22_2.

I have wifi, bluetooth, etc all on, using activesync for push gmail, palringo for chat (which I've tried stopping and it makes no difference to current draw) but surely all these shouldn't be draining the battery so badly. I have the location services on, sense getting weather updates etc, but presumably no-one else is having problems with them draining the battery.

I have CHT v2.00b, but I removed this yesterday, as well as chainfire turbo3D and palringo, removed all lockscreens and still no joy. I don't really want to do a full install, but most of the pointers on here so far have been for with radio switched off, so I'd appreciate some tips on things to try to work out why radio on in standby is using so much battery would be greatly appreciated before a full reset/re-install.

Edit - Smartphonetracker is on there too, but I switched all the settings to off and it made no difference.
[HD2 General] innovator8:
I was struggling with getting a full day our of my HD2 at first, I have alwasy been a huge energy rom fan and while running his 21xxx roms, I was not making it till bed time without having to charge it, with what I would call minimal to morerate use.

I have loaded the latest 2.14 radio and using Dutty's rom, either the 23xxx or now I am trying the 21xxx, I have much better battery life keeping all things equal between the setting of the device.

Give this a try.
[HD2 General] 78apb:
QuickGPS: launch, set it up to auto=OFF. No more overnight peaks over 8-9 mA threshold.
[HD2 General] AinsCrowbar:
I'm running stock ROM v1.66 with the second latest radio (I think). My drain on standby is around 3mA and around 150mA when just viewing BattLog. Although when I play music it jumps up to 300mA+. Did anybody ever find a solution the battery drain when playing music?
[HD2 General] bennyb0y:
GPS Tracking very quick... but too quick maybe????

Have trawled through these posts for the "Holy Grail" of getting the HD2 to use less battery power (a charge up about once every 2 days would be fine for me).

I use TomTom too and have noticed how quick the GPS kicks in even after a ROM flash upgrade. The only option I have still switched on is the HTC Location Services. If it's not switched on, then the local weather does not work (of course!). I prefer to have it switched on. Tried it switched off and the power drops about 1% every 4 minutes.

But with that, I wonder is there (or does anyone know of) some other background process which is running or polling to keep the GPS up to date?

I've never seen the device find its location so quickly.

I previously had a HTC TP2 and at times the GPS was as warm as Scrooge's heart on Christmas Eve!!!
[HD2 General] gerhardvr:
Hi to everybody in this discussion,

I was surprised to see it still being active after all this time. When I first started this thread I hoped that the information will be useful to someone out there but it seems it helped a couple of people which is great. :)

Because the way I use my phone has changed I thought I would add some additional information which might be useful. These days I spend about 2 hours every day watching movies (I love the new Gautrain in South Africa :) ). My screen is set to auto brightness and I use Coreplayer as the media application. The movies are typically 600 to 800 Meg in size and not resized for the HD2. For the rest of the day the use of the phone is moderate with some calls, a couple of SMS messages, etc. Even with this heavy use, I typically have to charge the phone only once a day.

It is clear that video does put a drain on the battery and I think using HTC player rather than Coreplayer might be better for the battery because the HTC player makes use of hardware acceleration and Coreplayer does not. But, the HD2 has proved itself quite useful for watching movies. The quality of the screen still impresses me after all this time. The slight sound lag is a bit irritating but not enough that it will stop me from watching all the movies my wife will not enjoy (no, I'm not talking about the X-rated stuff). ;)

Regards

Gerhardvr
[HD2 General] gerhardvr:
Hi,

This was exactly why I started this thread. Everybody was blaming the HD 2, Sense, HTC, Bill Gates and his dog but everybody forgot about all the apps that they install on their phone.

I took exactly the same approach as you did even though I use a standard ROM. This approach is tedious by it does allow for isolation of the problem apps.

Regards
[HD2 General] gerhardvr:
The problem is definitely not CHT or Turbo3D, I've been using these since I got my phone. I'd put my money on the push gmail but that is just a guess. I don't think that it is your radio that is the problem, but rather some app that is dependent on the radio for doing it's work. When the radio is off this app(s) might become inactive but when you switch the radio back on, the app(s) start functioning and draining the battery.

The biggest reason for short battery life is when the phone is prevented from going into full standby mode. it is essential to get the phone to draw minimal current when in standby.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfN2dJupIMM

I think it looks super cool and really makes the phone look different from the others. Personally, I think the EVOs back looks black and ordinary without the carbon fiber.
[EVO 4G General] Zexell:
I have the CDMA HTC Diamond and was extremely relieved when the CDMA Diamond didnt get that battery cover.

To me that looks hideous and borderline cheezy.

I for one love the battery cover of the evo.
[EVO 4G General] norkoastal:
The cool factor of the diamond back wears off real quick. The points wear off if the phone is pocketed, and the create an uneven surface, aka wobbly laying flat.
[EVO 4G General] acrh2:
The OP video has nothing to do with the OP topic.'
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Hmm, that would probably annoy me greatly as I like everything to look and be perfect, or as perfect as something can be. Haha.

I don't mind the evos (Better than the droid incredible's back by far), but I think it looks a lot better with the carbon fiber. :) I always use the kickstand when I set it down too. I figured out if you push in on the on the short side of the hinge, it pops right out. :D
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Care to explain, because so far, it's posted in the EVO gen forum, and the title says "Why couldn't HTC have done something cool with the battery cover like they did here..." and then a video showing the back of an HTC phone that's different than most phones.

Deleted 10chars!
[EVO 4G General] beesneazy:
all a matter of opinion I suppose ... way I see it that diamond back looks pretty lame.

why not just have the regular back and if people want to make their phone look cooler, or not cooler - depending, then they have the option.
[EVO 4G General] PLESTIUC:
that back looks retarded. matter of taste I guess
[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
the battery cover suits the diamond cuz it does look like diamond cuts battery cover.wouldnt look rite on the EVO,but OP's carbon fiber defenetly looks NICE on the EVO.:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aeo087:
I got my Galaxy S a couple of days ago and had a couple of problems which I managed to fix. Now it works great! I flashed MoDaCo's MCR 1 and did the stall fix.

Here's a video for those interested in how the phone works with the first custom rom!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RYugWwN4R4
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Geryatrix:
Thanks for the video, as a newcomer to Android, these informative vids are invaluable.

I'm looking forward to a simple run through of how you did it, as if it is simple enough, with little room for errors, I could be tempted if only to fix the GPS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shawn_pro:
Hey i just wanted to ask whether u used the modaco's prebaked ROM (free) or the online kitchen where you have to pay for the service.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mark99uk:
thanks for the video

you say it is the best android you have used... what have you used before?

its just that, even with this modaco rom.. it still doesnt look from the video to be as snappy/fast as the HTC Desire.... the galaxy s should be more snappy given its better processor and gpu
[Galaxy S I9000 General] istnelane:
Do we have to root the phone first?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aeo087:
To answer a couple of questions:

1. You do not have to root the phone, the MoDaCo rom roots the phone for you, you do need to have flashed the latest firmware JFB.

2. I used the pre-baked, but I will donate to be able to make my own...

3. I've used the Evo, Nexus One, G1, Behold II, moment, and the Incredible.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aeo087:
"it's just that, even with this modaco rom.. it still doesnt look from the video to be as snappy/fast as the HTC Desire.... the galaxy s should be more snappy given its better processor and gpu"

I do think it's snappier than the Evo or Incredible (haven't used the desire).

I'll make a video with Launcher Pro, the UI is even smoother than with my TW.

You also have to remember that Android does not use the GPU for regular UI purposes, so the faster GPU shouldn't make a noticeable difference; If find that the galaxy s is faster when it comes to handling live wallpapers and the app-drawer. I also have no lag when launching or closing apps.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Menelaoxda:
Hi,

last week i made the 2.1 update on my non rooted Hero.

After that, my device start lagging when i try to go in the Phone application, it's take up to 4 seconds to open it and up to 10 second to show me the contacts list.

Also the Voice Search it's lagging a lot, and must software take long time to start.

Someboby know if there's something wrong on the update? Anyone else have the same problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] PAGOT:
Ofc you arent alone. Many experience lagging... Even in just in scrolling between screens or apps. I wrote to HTC. A nice lady from HTC told me to backup my phone (with an non existing backup in hero...) and to do factory reset. Ofc it didnt help :) .

Try to close all apps and services you dont need and open the phone again. My hero 2.1 was before the factory reset without a task manager not usable ...

The 2.1 update sucks in general. Apps/widgests/settings missing and speed is much worse.

Some ppl are saying its faster but they probably didnt had it fast on 1.5 anyway :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Menelaoxda:
Also my girlfriend is annoyed about that.

Do you think that with not original rom, i mean one of the rooted, the speed can improve?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] PAGOT:
Well from I hear from that side, yeah.. But since I have my hero still in warranty I wont go that way. And I am not sure how stable those custom roms are :) . But for that there is many threads here I presume. Have you tried a task manager with killing all non essentials? If it wont help do the factory reset. AND ofc contact HTC!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Menelaoxda:
Yes, it's helping a bit, but i think that is not a solution. I can't kill all the process before make a call, and when i've to answer? how i can kill if the phone it's close to hibernation?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] PAGOT:
Ofc its not an solution. Thats why contact HTC and write them. As I did and as it didnt help a bit :D . But keep them spamming maybe they will do soemthing (probably add us to spamfilter)

And actually for that close the hibernation there are many apps that can help you :) . advanced task manager or taskiller. Am not much of a fan of those I use only system panel. But I kinda meant only to kill those apps you dont need. Like maps/games you wont play/ maybe twitter or facebook or what you dont actually use or need.

Btw after I installed the update to 2.1 I had some few strange processes and services from HTC running that I dotn have after teh factory reset.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Menelaoxda:
I usually use Taskiller, but can not do miracles.

This afternoon i'll perform a factory reset, and hope that can solve something

Anyone an idea how to fix this?

Anytime when I have some more apps opend, e.g 6 and I opend a 7th wm closes a random (?) app...

I looked up at my memory before opend the 7th...it was under 50%...

I'm on 4.3 HG from dutty...maybe this is a "Tweak" for best performance?

I have linked a taskmanager to my long press sendkey, which is also in the autostartup folder...so it happens sometimes, that wm closes my taksmanger, which is saying goodbye with an error...quite annoying.

Is there an option to increase the limit before an app is closed? or better an blacklist, that an app is not closed?
