Software and the end-user are the cause behind battery drain. I've got 2.5days out of moderate use so I don't think it's the hardware at all.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerhardvr:
Methods for testing battery consumption and proof it is typically software related

Hi,

At the risk of looking like I'm trying to hijack this thread, I started a discussion on this particular subject a while ago as feedback on my finding after reading almost all the threads I could find regarding battery use on the HD2. Lude219 is 100% correct, the issue is always software related (yea, I know there might be exceptions to the rule) and my phone was a prime example of that.

See the thread below that explains how to measure your battery consumption, has logs and screen shots from users you have high consumption and also people who have systems where battery life is more than 48 hours so that you can compare your results.

I'm also sure it's software related. My phone would use app. 2% overnight with all connections closed. This i tested over months. Then suddenly without me changing anything drastic software wise, it pulled 5% per 3-4 hours. So after going thru all the cleaning routines nothing helped exept a good "ram cleaning" . Somehow or other the phone starts processes over time wich consume alot of power. One would have to look into it with a process manager to find out what exactly it is. WinMo seems to be quite sofisticated looking at all the running processes. So my view is , keeping the system tidy might be the only way to save the extra power.This is where the huge diffrence to other platforms seems to be, it can take quite a while until you have configured your phone the way you need it. I am useing the stock rom 1.66 German
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brutzel1:
thanks you guys for participating and sharing your thoughts.

But now, here is a thinker:

Last night, I let my battery drain all the way to zero and then recharged it at night. The only other thing I did was installing BSBTweaks and Touch X Taskmanager. I also changed my Bandswitch Settings to turn off data when not used and put it at 60 sec (instead of 500 sec before).

And I couldnt believe what I was seeing, I took my phone off the charger this morning around 8.30am and now at 7pm I am still at 84%!!! I did not use the phone heavily but sent and received a few texts, made 1 call and played around with it for a little bit. Similiarly to what I did in the beginning after I got the phone, but then the battery had almost died at 7pm!

I am super happy and hope it stays like that but cannot explain why all the sudden it is that different...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Team1:
Hi everyone,

This is a very usefull thread, for me it is, thanks to everybody that answered.

regrding the last post, a noobish quesition is

”Bandswitch Settings to turn off data when not used and put it at 60 sec (instead of 500 sec before): how do i do this?”

I remember stumbling upon this setting the day i got the phone and started viciously going through it.

Somehow it didnt store in my memory the path i went that day so i can try doing what the man sugested.

So if anyone can lay a hand, much obliged.

Regards

with battlog how do i do the test so it stays in standby? it keeps turning the screen on and off when i run benchmark
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polo735:
You may want to flash a new radio. Try a new one each day and measure battery life. I use radio 2.12.50 and have had a good experience.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbhocky19:
yeah but with my radio turned off the radio shouldnt affect it shoudl it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzysig:
i use blackberry to stream pandora radio thru aux for about 8 hours a day and it still has 2 bars left after that.

HD2 just sits there and kills the battery lol

what kind of phone is that when you have to disable all its functions every time you dont use it?

seriously this is called unfinished product or poor design, that is beeing sold to customers as a next best thing.

you guys can argue with me all you want. i heard many excuses from users advocating the companies. such as. if you dont like this than pay more for a better product. well HD2 is a better product, its a 500 dollar phone damn it.

but you dont realize that even the "better" products suffer from same underdevelopment syndrome.

companies spend millions on consumer research and consumers spend millions on **** they dont need every year. cows eat grass, consumers eat garbage made by big companies.

where are the better products? they dont exist because it became "normal" to have a faulty OS or for your phone buttons to fall off, or battery to explode.

companies worked long and hard to make consumers get used to the idea that garbage is just a part of life, and worked long and hard to minimize costs of production, and cut corners.

which corners?

the final QA testing that is not beeing done by a company, so they can release the phone 3 months earlier, the consumers pay for the phone and test it.

we work for the company and we pay for it instead of getting paid.

the phone breaks oh how sad ,

company takes note(dont use this cheap glue or the buttons fall off, get a lil more expensive glue next year)

so they use better glue and cut another corner and we buy another "new and improved phone" and this time screen goes dim oh dang not again...and it continues.

do you disconnect your car battery every night so it doesnt die? or when you buy a lexus do you drive with your AC off because it cant pull the car around when ac is on same time as the stereo?
[About XDA developers] nevezen:
I don't get it.

If I use the Android XDA app, the Marketplace is visible in General. Using a real browser however, it's not. A quick search for a link into the Marketplace rears a permissions error. And all of this without being registered. So what gives? Something I'm missing here?
[About XDA developers] wawa144st:
what phone your using?:confused:
[About XDA developers] nevezen:
Oh, so it's now visible. After glancing through the rules/disclaimer it appears it'll become accessible after 8 posts for a noobjuice member. Clever.
[About XDA developers] lufc:

You need more posts and/or a longer membership (I can't recall the details).

[About XDA developers] svetius:
It's not the app...we've changed the permission on the Marketplace to not allow access to a user until he/she has made 8 posts. That 8 post level is also the same point at which you can post links. It's just an anti-spam measure. We found people were registering at XDA just to spam the site or the Marketplace. This helps.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

This is good to know. Long time lurker and finally signed up so I could post in the marketplace but alas! :rolleyes:

[About XDA developers] sm3llychef:
For a while there I thought I needed to check my eye sight. Makes sense now.
[About XDA developers] Byrana:
Hard to achieve 8 post if you have nothing to say or to discuss or if everything is so well explained that you do not need answers :)

Maybe you could add a waiting time also. Lets say after 4 weeks you get to see the market, I highly doubt anyone would wait 4 weeks just to spam something.
[About XDA developers] sweepstakes:

[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
Not sure, but I'm pretty sure it's still 8 posts to see the marketplace. And you look to have registered a fair time ago.

I'm sure svetius or daveshaw can clarify for you.

But the policy exists to stop people joining to scam xda members by selling the same phone several times or whatever, as well as to protect sellers from fraudulent buyers. So whilst it may seem an inconvenience, it just serves to try and improve the experience for everyone.

[EVO 4G General] teddykgb715:
Hey guys,

My HDMI cable just arrived today so I excitedly converted a blu-ray quality .mkv to an .MP4 using Handbrake. The settings on handbrake work great for DVD quality files and I can watch the blu-ray conversion on the EVO itself but when I try to watch it through HDMI nothing shows up on the screen. I CAN watch a video I recorded on the EVO on the TV if that makes sense.

Why won't the .MP4 play? Is this due to the fps issue or do I need to encode it into a different format to play out through the HDMI?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] pixelpop:
Sounds like you probably converted to a non-standard resolution. Make sure you set your converted size to:

720p - 1280x720

1080p/1080i - 1920×1080
[EVO 4G General] wrxlvr:
Hard to tell without you listing the settings you used in Handbrake. I've been able to do 720p out of the phone via HDMI just fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindakrazy:
I was wondering exactly why would i want to root my evo, i get the part where you have full control and what not and can flash anything on to it but what can i do when it is rooted that i cant normally do aside from the full control part which doesnt explain some of the cooler things you can get it to do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
I think you answered the question yourself.

The power to flash whatever you want is actually as great as people make it out to be; I think you might underestimate that. To "flash anything" means -- custom ROM's, themes, icons, fonts, sounds, bootanimations, splash screens, kernels, recoveries, etc.

As of late -- we are now able to run Ubuntu (a full fledged version) on our phones, WHILE Android is running -- it's like using a VM. This, however -- requires root. With root, the possiblies of "hacking" any Android devices goes up 10 fold and upon release of the kernel source code -- you'd be surprised what root + a good dev + source code can really do for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTheGeekGuy:
personally, i did it for Wireless tether and custom ROMs currently using baked snack on my evo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
^^^ beautiful words :D

What pseudoremora said.

Concrete examples: WiFi tether instead of paying 30 bucks/mo

Ability to remove dumb apps you don't want, which will improve system performance

You will have froyo before an unrooted most likely

There is work to increase fps by almost double

...and so much more!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindakrazy:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snake411:
What exactly is ubuntu? What does it do?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
lol

man you keep making me chuckle. just funny :D lol

anywho, ubuntu is like a whole other linux operating system. I assume you just read something about how that can be put on an evo.

Man, I just put it on my phone, I am in like geek heaven. lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
Ubuntu is actually just a derivative of Linux itself -- much like Android. All Linux versions (Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, Red Hat, Android etc, etc) are built from the same Linux kernel.

What makes each different is what each version of Linux has to offer (e.g. Ubuntu is seen as the most simple and best for beginners, Arch is highly customizable -- meant for people who like to pick and choose there configurations, Red Hat is considered one of the better versions to run a server on, etc, etc) -- but at the end of the day; they're all still built from the same Linux kernel, it's just the communities that support the specific version define everything each is capable of.

Ubuntu = a version of Linux, a very popular one at that.
[Streak 5 General] hexydes:
Ok, I'm getting this "phone". I've been sitting around waiting for a release date for what seems like a year now, lol.

Here is my one request, from the marvelous XDA dev community, who has never ceased to amaze me in the years I've been here. :)

I want this thing to do HDMI out. I'm not talking pushing a YouTube video out of the HDMI port, I want to see Android on my 24" monitor. I want to be able to use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to run the controls, and I want to be able to dock my Streak and use it on a larger display. 720p/1080p would be a huge bonus, but I have no idea what limitations are in place there.

Ok, that's it. Make that happen, and I will be very happy. :D
[Streak 5 General] chrism_scotland:
If you pay £55 for the Dell Home AV Kit it will do this I believe......
[Streak 5 General] hexydes:
Granted, I don't have a Streak on which to try it out...but isn't that only for videos (YouTube, video files, etc)? As far as I'm aware, you don't get the actual desktop, right?
[Streak 5 General] homeiss:
I don't have one either, but in a video I saw it appeared that the dock only pushes the video through the HDMI and not the android "desktop."

I too would love to be able to do this though!
[Streak 5 General] chrism_scotland:
Ah right thats not too good then, the Samsung Galaxy seems to be TV-Out and just replicated the system as on the screen, I'm thinking of buying a Nokia N900 to play with as it has TV out and would let me play SNES / Mega Drive games etc when I'm in a hotel room.
[Streak 5 General] chrism_scotland:
I wonder if full TV Out is something we could hack
[Streak 5 General] fracmo2000:
£55 is a lot for just movies out...i was hoping for full android on my big tv
[Streak 5 General] hexydes:
Yeah, that's for sure. Big deal, if I wanna watch just movies, I'll find a computer and do it. The power of HDMI-out is in being able to use Android on your phone on the go, and then docking it and using it as a netbook-replacement when at a desk (or as a HTPC when in the living room, etc.)
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Give it a few months once the Chinese get their hands on it and they will churn out the Accessories and flood ebay :)
[Streak 5 General] sgeorge:
I need this also for a bmw idrive integration. I'm sure the community will crack it.
[Streak 5 General] Camdat:
i would love to do this while also running ubuntu it would be like christmas (or when i first heard about android) i would dock it and BAM i would have ubuntu then dissconnect it and id have android
[Streak 5 General] wnrussell:
I just bought a BMW with the new 1280 pix CiC I-Drive display. With a Motorola Bionic, I'm hoping to send TV to the phone via SlingBox and send the HDMI out from the phone to the display in the car.

Thoughts?
[XPERIA X2 General] youcrazykids:
Guys and gals...

I've got a bricked X2, so things can't get any worse at present.

I took the advice which was displayed in another thread, and downloaded the Qualcomm QPST package.

x-drivers.com/catalog/flash/mobile_phones/companies/qualcomm/models/qpst/12051.html

I deleted the default comm ports in the QPST configuration tool, added both USB ports that were available, did the Volume Down + Power On keypress, connected the cable, and voila! The phone was recognised, and it was possible to browse through the phone using EFS Explorer. Using QPST Service Programming, I can view and edit a whole LOAD of stuff inside the phone. Wow.

I haven't dared change a single thing yet. I'm hoping someone can now contribute and we can begin to understand how to use this package to our advantage.
[XPERIA X2 General] rsx19:
hopefully this will bring us closer to spl!!!
[XPERIA X2 General] masfaq:
Great Work...
[XPERIA X2 General] youcrazykids:
Further information

Further information...

You can configure two USB ports (called COM13 and COM15) using the QPST Configuration server.

When you do the Power On + Volume Down combination, the phone appears to enter Diagnostic mode, and shows up as being connected on COM13.

When you do the Power On + Volume Up combination, the phone appears to enter Download mode, and shows up as being connected on COM15.

I don't yet know what the significance is, or what to do about it. But again, I'm hoping that someone will be able to shed some more light on this.

I guess the main aim at this stage would be to find out how to access the WM file directories inside the phone.
[XPERIA X2 General] lo:
Developers have disappeared in the wild :(
