battery usage

Using latest zImage and Darkstone Froyo I noticed the battery info in Android settings shows the Display using about 73% of the battery. In Mattc 1.4 It was much lower, possibly under 10% while Android System had over 50% which I assume is fine. That high usage of the Display on battery explains why its draining faster.

So far Darkstone Froyo is my favorite but I won't use it until battery issues are resolved.

I ran a very early build of Android on my TMOUS and it broke my WM Sense interface. I restored from a back up and will wait for a more stable build. Hopefully I wont have to flash to a different ROM. I kinda like the stock TMO ROM.

Can anyone else with the stock TMO ROM please chime in on your experiences with the Android builds?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
I've only had the known documented problems with my stock TmoUS rom.

I switched to Miri at one point but the graphics were not for me, so I switched back. There were, however, some random problems in WM after using android. I was prompted on boot to choose my time zone, WM would freeze when opening messages, Loss of 3G connection, all were random though.

battery

something very strange is happening, when i use to use the 23rd zimage i use to loose 11-12% of battery in 12 hours for standby in windows mobile. After putting the latest zimage ie 3 august into my mobile i am loosing close to 20% of battery in a 12 hour standy period in windows mobile. Anyone know why this is happening?

I used 2.12.50.02 RADIO and with all builds Android "drink" my battery power and the back of HD2 was warm.

Yesterday I downgrade to 2.10.50.28_2 and it look better, I did full night charging and will see how it survive the day.

People, it's just bussiness for HTC. They are not so worried if someone gets ripped off in regards of the OS. 6.5 will be here for a little while longer...by the time it is over( WM 6.5), new devices with android running on them (better than the EVO and HD2) will be out... But thanks to the awsome developers at XDA, we have our hopes for android running on HD2...So whether we get android or not, we have our HD2's! One of the best devices EVER made.... just windows does not fit to be a good mobile OS...Again, thanks to all Developers working on this! We REALLY appreciate it, and will donate!!!

I think we should start a petition for android on hd2 from HTC direct. They could release it like the iPhone updates for their old hardware by charging a fee.

Im sure the majority of people would pay £50 easy to get android 2.2 on their HD2.

That shows how much you love you HD2.

I agree about the hard work and I understand why people don't have any patience here since they see the EVO is out and everywhere is Android talk.

This project will be on for a long time and we should appreciate all the developers on this project DeCordes, cr2, LeTama, Markinus, NetRipper as they are all active. With your contribution and positive talk here they will get more power to get this project done and hit a milstone soon.

Like quiet a few others on here I was hoping for WM7 as an upgrade for my HD2 as promised by my HTC dealer.:(

As this is not going to happen I am hoping that we will see a full working version of lynx soon

My only concerns is the time frame being mentioned.[there is some talk about it taking 2 years?]

If there is a full working version within 6 month I would be interested, [even happy to pay for it]

Beyond that I have a feeling most [including myself] will be thinking about updating to a new device most likely Android.

How many keep there phones for more then 1 to 2 years anyway?

I just did a search and seems like no one has any issue with the language setting.

However, when I changed it back to English, google maps is still in chinese and the temperature from the news widget is in Celcius instead of Fahrenheit. Does anyone has the same problem?

My impression on the android os Ive tested so far

I have tested several android os and got different results. This is just to share what I have experienced.

1. Desire darkstone build. This one I particularly liked the most initially until I found out that 3g connection doesnt work on my phone(maybe its just me). Everything else works fine but I just cant get the data roaming to work:(. Searched online and this forum for the solution, but got nothing. Perhaps i overlooked since there are approx. 800+ pages here. If anyone knows a solution to this itd be great!

2. Froyo build by Dan. I have great time with this build since everything was working and stable, even the data roaming. Nothing in particular I can say about this one, but I believe this one by far, in my personal opinion, is the most stable build at this time.

3. mattcfroyorc1.4 build. I just got this build about three hours ago and Honestly, I am starting to change my love to this build. Its got the same functionality of the desire build and so far i have not have any serious issue with this. 3g roaming with tmobile actually is faster with this build!!! I am not sure if I was just imagining but it does seem much faster than the froyo build. I get reception at places where I cant get with froyo build. Cant say if this is the most stable build, yet, cuz i just had it for 3 hrs, but ill keep posted.

Common issues i have with the builds are that I cant really use openhome application to switch out customized themes which you can find on the market place. Battery life really sucked but you can always use battery saver apps on the market (search the forum).

Besides all mentioned, thank you dev team!! you guys are the best. It's time to push HD2 to its higest potential with android.

WM Miri v.17.6

Radio 2.12

You probably have missed something. It is very hard to tell form the lack of information you give us. i.e., two roms, zimages... There could be any number of things going wrong.

If you have the 8/03 zImage and Miri v17 rom, and your radio is (should be) higher than 2.08, you should not get robo voice and audio should work, you should also run CLRCAD.exe before booting android... which ever android that be???
