If the charging light does not come on when its plugged in. Attempt removing power, waiting a few seconds and plug it back in. You'll be wanting that light on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdsoundguy:
In addition take out the battery for at least 30 seconds I did for a full minute, I had this exact thing happen removing all power sources seemed to help. Use the down arrow when powering on it should go into the bootloader. Also make sure you have a fully charged battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emeraldayotte:
So I let it sit on the charger all night and still nothing.

I removed the power cable and plugged it back in with no results. I also removed the battery for 5 mins and put it back in....nothing.

I swapped batteries with a friennds evo that does have at least 50% charge....nothing.

please respond

did you ever find a way to unbrick your evo because mine is bricked. i cant do anything with it. it wont accept a charge or even power on. i cant even get to the bootloader screen. and it has no charge light when plugged in to a power source. PLEASE HELP!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifiwasperfect:
This happening to anyone else? Just need verification. I'm guessing it doesn't because when WiFi is turned on, the actual 3g (which the mms settings are locked to?) is knocked out.

Depending on what rom you have sometimes when wifi is enabled 3g shuts off automatically,this can also happen when you use battery saving apps such as Juice Defender

Here is an interesting question...

I find, by far, TomTom to be the best over navigation program... When I weigh annd the pros and cons of all of them, it comes out on top...

The "2" areas I would like improved are the cost of the live service (I used to pay for traffic, at $25/yr). The cost now is $50 per 6 months, and that is out of my price range. The other area is the voice directions do nto say the street names and such liek some otehr programs do. I would like to have that...

To actually navigate anywhere, Bing is harder to follow on the screen. But Bing does offer both spoken word directions as well as it reroutes you according to traffic.

Here is my "solution"... I want to run Bing in the back ground with TomTom on the screen.. I know how I can turn off TomTom's voice directions.. but any time I switch to the TomTom screen, Bing looses the GPS signal (and vice versa).. Thus I loose the voice guidance from Bing if TomTom is on the screen... Anyone have any solution for this? It would make me very happy!

I am using the Energy rom listed below, and I have the improved GPS driver as well... Let me know, thanks

OK folks. Here's my problem. As best as I can tell, my acclerometer has gone bad. My poor old MyTouch will not auto-rotate. I have tried to wipe, reflash, change roms, wipe rotate settings, opened case and checked all connections, beat it with a hammer, yelled and screamed, and even blamed my wife. Is there any way, that anyone knows of, to lock the poor thing in landscape mode. Even if it is just in the text messaging app of any rom. Any ideas or help would be greatly helpfull and apreciated.

Try this:

With handcent installed navigate to

below it change vibration intensity to your desire. Once this is done you can then disable haptic feedback if you don't like it but the vibration intensity will be saved for handcent.

My battery problem was becouse of the trancent class 6 8gb card(60-80ma in standby),

swaped with my friends verbatim class 4 8gb(5-10ma in standby)

even with my old sandisk 2gb non HC microSD(7-12ma in standby) I get better result than with my previous class 6 battery sucker.

App im using to test it is (currentwidget) from market, best app for testin battery drainage of roms.

If anyone else can post their results with currentwidget, wifi and data off, like this it would be great for all to know whats sucking all that sweet juice out of battery and will help development:

x MA standby

x WM ROM

x Radio

x Android ROM

x Kernel

x Micro SD

So my result:

5-10 MA standby

Chuckys GTX Lite

2.12.50.02_2

shubCRAFT 1.5

Default shubCRAFT 1.5 kernel

Verbatim class 4 8gb

UPDATE1

Another solution found by aussiebum that have worked for many is to disable or change keypad and notífication led drivers. Read post nr. 42 on page 5.

UPDATE2

Fix for random ~60ma(after boot) on standby if you had good results before. If you start Android don't use WM at all, use auto-boot on 6 sec with Exceller Multiple Build Loader for Android/Ubuntu if you want to use windows, use it but reboot the phone before you start android.

UPDATE3

So I have done lot's of testing with five different Micros SD card's.

And if someone still says SD is not related to battery I can insure you it's the biggest reason for battery drain, all these test is done with (shubCRAFT v1.5 origfonts) with new installation and absolutely same settings with SetCpu conservative 245 on screen off.

Ranking goes:

1. Kingston class 4 8gb (4-10ma stable)( As quick as class 6 transcend and doesn't effect battery drainage at all, My friend with nexus one gets about same results and its running from NAND, I'm perfectly happy with this card and wouldn't change it to anything else)

2. Verbatim class 4 8gb (8-13ma stable.)(I should say that this is middle card, bit faster and stabler than Sandisk Class2 but has bit higher drain of battery, it newer gets bellow 8ma, might luckily hit 7ma for few sec's. Still I would chose this over Sandisk Class2 because things was scrolling bit better and I think it's worth it compared to small difference in battery life)

3. Sandisk class 2 8gb (6-12ma)( Not stable sometimes it's at 30ma or 50ma when it's been on standby for long time. Is only little bit if not at all slower than Verbatim but still not as fast as Kingston or Transcend)

4. Transcend class 6 8gb (10-X ma)( Fast but unstable couldn't get it bellow 58ma in shubcraft, generally it's very fast and android runs well with no problems in load times, good but unstable battery usage newer got 40 min with 1% from any build)

5. Sandisk NON HC 2gb (9-15ma)( Slow can be used with android but not well thing gets stuck very often and load times are randomly crazy).

Right now Im not running SetCPU, Im going to try that to see if it brings it down.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aussiebum:
After some poking around, I think I've figured out the cause of high battery drain during Standby / Screen off - at least for darkstone's HD2Froyo V2 Android build.

Battery drain seems to be caused by the libraries used to control and enable the led and keypad light to work.

READ UPDATED POST: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7949689&postcount=42

Current Widget now reports 7ma drain when screen off/standby, using SetCPU to set Interactive CPU Governor and 245-1113mhz scaling (8ma when using Conservative), versus 60+ma prior.

Downsides - led notification light is wonky, flashes green after boot (and goes away after awhile).

This "fix" should also work with other Android builds with battery drain problems (assuming those builds have led light working)... of course, check with Current Widget on your standby battery drain 1st (I do it by using 1min poll time and *waiting* at least 1min with screen off before checking!) to see if you have the same problem first.

If someone else could try this "fix" on their builds that would be great.

This was tested on a Euro HD2 running Miri v17 and Radio 2.09, with a Transcend Class 6 16gb sd card.

EDIT: Dropped some outdated info away from this fix.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] anap40:
Amazing. This works perfectly. I just went from 60ma standby to 5ma standby (neither with setcpu or a task killer)

See my post two up for my full settings, but I'm using shubcraft 1.5, in that directory the only one I found was lights.qsd8k.so. I renamed it to lights.qsd8k2.so and my battery drain went way down. The best part is the keypad lights and status led still work.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aussiebum:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] billgs:
A small report from me:

Using Artemis Rom, 2.12 radio, mattc's 1.7 ppp.

I find the drain to be completely erratic, sometimes I get 7mA for hours, then suddenly it jumps to 60mA for some hours, then it goes back down again.

I cannot find a pattern for that.This is thoroughly tested for long periods of time, not for 5 miutes or so.

2G or 3G for me makes no difference in consumption, the same goes for auto sync, except for the occasional 2-minute spikes in drain (from 7-60 to 210-220mA). The sync does its job, consumes a little, then goes back again. Moreover, I am against turning these things off, even in Winmo ( I mean for crying out loud, we have the best smartphone out there and we make it work like a 10 dollar phone). Back on topic.

Flight mode for me gives a random 4mA and 60mA as above, with the occasional spikes. This means that, given the fact that the phone works correctly, the difference between 3G and radio off is 3mA which is amazing.

Now for the solutions posted above:

No. 1 doesnt work with this build. Even if mattc's 1.7 includes the mid-august files, sometimes it acts as it should (<10mA) and sometimes not. Replacing the files gives higher drain (>60mA all the time) and the keypad leds stop working.

No. 2 I think doesnt make a difference,given the fact that you already have 245-245 profile when screen off.Also, I think the priorities are wrong (shouldnt be 100 for more than one, as they overlap).

No. 3 I am currently trying, so far so good.Booting with the lights on gives me a constant 7mA for a long period of time.Will report back after a day.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sylau90:
NO 2...please don't predict something you didn try...the priorities are definitely correct...although there are 3 100 priorities...but is in different profiles...please refer to www.pokedev.com/setcpu

Everybody is saying MattC has great battery life. I disagree, every single version I had consumed a lot more battery than ShubCraft. It must be because of SenseUI. :confused:

Another note. I woke up this morning and my phone was dead, no battery. It fully charged at 1:00am. Then it stopped charging. When the phone was idle it was using 200mA dont know exactly what was running. :mad:

I added 2 apps/widgets. TaskKiller and News and Weather widget. :eek:

But this morning I had to recharge my phone and at idle is back down at 7-10mA.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sylau90:
Haha, I got a good suggestion here...How about we stop guessing and trying something which are inconsistent?Finger crossed and wait for the NAND boot...

I have followed this thread for 2 days...different builds,different set up different usage come out different result...even though some people using same build, same setup and even same setting...their battery usages are different...

one thing explain this: android is still under development...Don't expect everything is under your control...Battery management is one of the example...the inconsistency is what we can't control...what we can do is reduce the fluctuation of battery usage inconsistency...REMEMBER IS REDUCE,NOT TOTALLY ELIMINATE...

Sometimes, it suddenly very high is a common case...however,I'm using shubcraft v1.5 and my SETCPU setting...everything is normal,stay at 4-10ma always when screen off...more than 24 hours of light-use,still left 30%...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
The currentwidget numbers, while accurate enough for general purposes, must actually be a calculation based on voltage drop versus time.

If you are adventureous you can do realtime measurements with this setup:

Connect a multimeter in current mode (ampere) in series between battery and hd2 battery terminal. (Connect your battery terminals to your hd2 terminals with small wires and splice the multimeter through one of the power cables in series) Now you can make accurate measurements in seconds without waiting.

Note: Since this setup would have open wires exposed, a short circuit may be dangerous. Be careful. A safer approach would be getting a cheap chinese battery and removing the inside of the battery and using the casing as a connector to make safe connections.
