[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jocreative:
surprisingly, my experience with Android battery life on Standby mode is the opposite...

I leave wifi on, with Email checking every 1 hour or so, and I have around 3-4 email accounts set up... also include twitter updates, facebook etc to taht list... it goes to standby before I sleep, and if the battery level is 81%... it stays that way even 7hours later when I wake up...I was suprised. I noticed this with a couple of builds.

I haven't done any tweaks or setcpu stuff...

Right now I am running on Darkstones FroyoStone (Aug 7 build) on WINMO Leo Stock ROM 1.43 (with HTC Sense disabled and animated boot disabled for faster boot)... and HSPL 3. Radio Version 2.10.50.26.

Try disabling your HTC sense in WINMO and uninstall any unwanted app.

But once I start using Android, battery starts draining like water :D... I loose like 2-5% every 10mins. Its normal...and worth it. Android gives life to my HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kcaj32:
I'm running Darkstone's froyostone w/sense and I get about 5% to 8% drain per hour before the tweaks.

I've updated the registry with the tweaks. I will update on Success/Failure after 2 or 3 hours.

Thanks OP.

I tried it but unfortunately I started getting regular SODs with both FroyoStone and shubcraft. So I had to turn it back. Too bad, I was really hoping it'll work. I might have to just bit the bullet and flash some new radios.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hardik119:
was it really an SoD or just a freeze while ur screen was off? Can you please try pressing the end button for like 30 seconds and see if it comes back? If not try changing your radio it sure helped me get rid of SoDs!

I am running on shubCRAFT CM6/Froyo/Themed V1.2 with energy ROM, i have tried these tweaks but they make no change for my battery life.I get about 7% drain per hour.

I'll try it with chucky rom and hope for some good news...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] buzz killington:
I wasn't aware that they're different. When it goes to long sleep it won't wake up again. If you're asking if it's just the panel that shuts off, I think it's the whole system since if I push more buttons I don't hear any audio clicks. I have read several people go to 2.12 radio and fixed both sod and battery life so I'll probably have to bust that cherry and give it a try :)

Battery Life

I am having a terrible time with battery life. I have tried this tweak, the detailed set cpu post, along with ATK and batteryminder. I had wifi, GPS, and Bluetooth off ALL day today. Unplugged the phone at 9AM and at 2:30 I had 7%battery left. I reduced my screen brightness and have tried everything on this forum. Battery tests good too. I am using Darkstones newest Hero build with sense with the manusfreedom Zimage.

Would it help to replace with Cotulla Zimage?

Can anyone think of anything additional to try?

Thank you for the help. Hope this hasn't been covered elsewhere.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bakedbread:
what ROM and Radio are you using?

You can try mirroring my setup with Miri v17 ROM and 2.10.50.x Radio.

Then apply the tweaks in the 1st post and see if it helps you.

I'm using the full RAM zImage which i believe is also by manusfreedom, so that's the only same thing i can see.

I had a lot of issues with ChuckyDroid ROM (but thats me personally) where I would get plenty of SoD issues.

When i flashed back to Miri v17 ROM i never got any SoDs.

One thing I would like to say is let windows mobile load fully before running haret or pressing your duel boot button.

If I don't do this I get heat issues and battery drain, if I do this heat isn't even an issue ever! Even with a live wallpaper on.

In fact it runs cooler than winmo !

Running vbnrom and radio 2.11 with shub, just applied these tweaks. I'm getting about 6% drain an hour with data on, sync on, no gps or wifi. i was getting about 10% /hr drain running froyostone and astraios, but was getting robo voice. i'll let you know if i get better battery life and I'm about to find out if it will let me charge past 93%
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] astrikrace:
Alright well charged up fully to 100% and started using an hour ago and had great results. Left it idle for 30 min and it lost less then one percent. I had everything turned on, sync, GPS, wifi, 3g. I'm running setcpu with the settings suggested and for the last 30 minutes I've been searching the internet, browsing the market and downloading, as well as sending similar SMS. I'm at 94% now a little of an hour with what I call intermittent moderate use. The tweaks worked well and I'm having very few problems with the build overall. Thanks for the tips & tricks!

Extremely doubtful...no phone can have two hours of screeen on and have 72 percent battery...especially since it wasn't just texting it was using data
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] OCedHrt:
For those with battery issues even after trying these tweaks..can also try rebooting the phone again. I have a feeling Android is unable to read the capacity of the battery and in some cases is limiting the charge of the battery. On my first boot Android was unable to fully charge the battery but I was able to get nearly 24 hours of use out of the phone while actively using the phone. On my second boot the battery charged to full very quickly but I barely got 12 hours in mostly standby mode.

I know this is a possible problem because I have a laptop with the same issue w/ the battery and Windows 7. The bios does not properly populate certain information in memory pertaining to battery capacity.

Most of the tweaks you need a REGISTRY EDITOR such as RESCO Explorer or Total commander as some people have posted.

BSB tweaks is only needed to turn ON the "Power Savings" setting as well (which is most likely some other WinMo tweak that BSB is automatically changing for you)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kcaj32:
These tweaks did NOT work for me. Still looking for a battery discharge fix. But still loving multiple android builds on my HD2.

I tested the tweaks with shubcraft 1.2b and Froyostone w/sense. Both had similar results... 7% to 10% drain per hour based on what I was doing or not doing.

I have the stock tmous ROM and stock 2.08 radio. Everything else works great for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bakedbread:
when i come to think about it, the battery drain might come down to the combination of ROM/Radio/Registry tweaks

Why dont you try flashing a custom ROM like Miri v17?

And while you're at it, try flashing a 2.10.50.x radio (up from 2.08)

Then try applying the tweaks and test out Android again

The only reason i say that is cause ive always had HUGE battery issues with STOCK WinMo ROMS, no matter what i did.

But once i finally took the plunge into custom ROMs , everything changed. Honestly, it's like night and day.

So if you're willing to give it a try, i dont think it'll hurt to try flashing the ROM/Radio and look for any improvement
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FRANQ_23_PL:
LOL how you guys want save battery on Android, if whole system is placed on memory card? It needs many recall to memory card and as probably every know, this eat more power from battery than recall to internal memory.

This will be resolved only, when Android will be whole in internal memory like WM.

And like i posted b4, you dont need any Registry Editor or BSB Tweaks, because my CAB changing this registry vaules.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] faumadanu:
Applied the registry settings this morning , and i see a BIG improvement.

Yesterday i had to recharge battery every 3-4 hours, while the battery today allready lasts like 6 hours and still 50% left.

I'm running:

Stock rom

Radio 2.12.50~02

FroyoStone Series - V1

Kernel: manusfreedom 2.6.32.9 #74

Will do some more testing. offcourse, but for now i'm soo excited !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] buzz killington:
I can at least confirm this part. After I went and changed the rom/radio and the registry, the overnight standby drained 24% in about 7 hours. That's a pretty big improvement of nearly 40%. There's still more room since Cell Standby spend almost 40% of the time without a signal - it's always weird to me that happens since I'm in a very strong signal area.

for the record I went from stock Tmousa rom, 2.08 radio to Miri 17.6 and 2.12 radio. Probably try a 2.10 radio later.

Thanks for the .cab files, FRANQ_23_PL.

I actually installed the Polish .cab file you listed yesterday and I was wondering what are the registry tweaks it made?

Your quoted text only mentioned 4 registry edits and the first page mentions 7.

So, what about:

HKLM\Comm\AsyncMac1\Params

DisablePowerManagement=0

HKLM\Comm\PPTP1\Params

DisablePowerManagement=0

HKLM\Comm\L2TP1\Params

Did you feel that they just dont make a difference or something?

These enteries enabling power mangament for wireless card(s) miniport(s). Look on screenshot, they are listed here:

Well, I just ran a test, while using Opera I used ~5% battery in half an hour, I loaded about 6 different pages. So in 2 hours if I just used the internet I would probably use about 20% give or take.

If you really want a screen I can get one later after I do a longer test, but I really have no reason to be lying....

Just to clarify, I am not loading tons pages while i browse, I usually am looking something up or reading articles so internet activity is actually minimal as I am on the same page for a while.

I’ve been getting about 2.25% per hour drain idle. Not a huge improvement over SETCPU but an improvement, nonetheless.

The problem really is that the second I use the phone, power sucks down like crazy. I guess that’s the punishment for having a huge screen. I played Robo Defense on the bus to work and lost 4% in less than 20 minutes.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BobaFeTT_NL:
Applied all suggested settings the day before yesterday.

Where I seemed to notice a slight improvement yesterday, today something odd happened: Left from home for work at 8:00 AM, 100% battery. Used my phone in a normal way (couple of short calls, syncing Gmail/Exchange/Twitter, couple of Foursquare logins, a bit webbrowsing, nothing excessive). Left from work for home at 17:10 with 25% battery left , took me 1,5 hours. Once home, the battery was flat!

So I lost 25% in well under 2 hours. I'll test some more before drawing conclusions, but it's not looking good at the moment.

Using Froyostone Clean V1 and SetCPU (max 768MHz ondemand).

Yup. It's working on my coocked 6.5 ROM.

While you use WInMo it can help, but i don't think so, that can make any difference in Android.'

Best option for those, who wants use only Android till day, when it will be prepared to NAND instalation, is find WinMo ROM (or request cookers for one) with removed all unneeded processes incl phone server or outlook, mail servers, because Android take control and working in background WinMo processes only causing battery draining.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eenbox:
I have done the following:

1. Went into WinMo - before that I took out the battery and then booted into the WinMo.

2. I applied all of the registry keys

3. Soft reset - then boot into Android

4. Left Android on the charger overnight and it was on 87% this morning...

5. I powered-off this morning, took battery out - booted into the Android

6. Android powered fine and showed me 100% battery status.

7. At 8:12AM I was on 100% ... no usage whatsoever but stand by and at 10:56AM I have 71% left.

I am not sure if this is just part of the process but so far I have not seen improvement by looking at the battery widget.

Just to mention I have setcpu all set up, I have ATK and setcpu listed in ignore list...

Technically I covered all of the basis and I am now testing... I will be reporting as we go along... I am keeping my fingers crossed.
