There must be a cause for that different behavior.

My WM ROM is in my sig, and I'm using Samsung 16GB mSDHC.

If my phone is in a place with good signals, and I turn off wifi and sync, I gets 5mA standby easily, everytime.

If the signal is bad or no signal, then the battery drain will be crazy.

I guess if the devs can somewhat change signal searching behavior of the radio then probably will do better battery life.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] superhero7:
I tried this SETTINGS>LOCATION fix and it seems like over last night it was able to get down to -3Ma in standby. So we'll see how many hours I get throughout the day. I'll stay logged on for updates.

Update: So I am really not seeing any additional decrease in standby Ma after changing the location settings, and starting with lights on on the keypad. I am going to try turning off other items in windows mobile and possibly editing one of the registry keys that one of you guys suggested in a recent post. Does anyone know how to determine what radio you have without having to restart your device. It sounds like a simple thing but restarting my device takes approx.4 minutes! Yikes.windows mobile starts quickly but Android takes forever. Just another thing to add to my growing list of issues I need to fix with Android on my HD 2.

BTW I'm running the following configuration:

Finally

Rajko's NAND does not have the 60mA bug (just unselect GPS)

I have data on(2g),

wifi on,

bT off,

location by wireless ON,

autosync ON,

autobrightness on.

Every build so far I tried had the bug after some minutes of usage, this ROM doesn't. It goes below 7mA as soon as you turn off the screen.

When Rajko was asked about if his build had the 60mA bug after call. he answered.

"60mA is because of too recent toolchain, that was never a problem with this as i used 2010q1 since forever

60mA may happen if GPS is on, turn it off using the power control widget when you don't need it"

I don't know what 2010q1 means.. year 2010 quater 1? anybody knows?

Anyway, this NAND rom if my final rom. I has tried for 3 days now and never had the 60mA, I haven't rebooted since 2 days ago, and I have been using it very heavy (wifi, data, some calls, sms) last night battery went from 35 to 32% in 5 hours in standby,

SUMMARY of many tricks to reduce high standby battery drain

(my first post ever...)

To help You reducing high standby battery drain (>50mA), here a list of what I tried and what finally did the trick for me:

reinstalled android on SD card

replaced /system/lib/hw/lights.qsd8k.so and /system/lib/lights.qsd8k.so

deleted the DATA folder on SD card. It is stored under Android/root/data.

in android: turned the gps off.

in android: turned off autorotate display

in android: un-ticked the "use GPS satellite" in android's location setting

in WinMob: disabled light sensor (in touchlock pro)

boot android with lit key when launching Haret

in WinMob: airplane mode before booting

in WinMob: installed key lights on: KeypadLedControl_v0.4.cab

in WinMob: installed bootloader EBL2.1a._PlusUbuntu.CAB, autoboot into android as quick as possible, 3 or 6 seconds

SO FAR NOTHING had worked for me!

Then in WinMob I edited this registry key (using regedit.Mrln_ARM.cab)

HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_C lass\High_Capacity

DisablePowerManagement=0

I assume this is due to my new vodafone ROM - if You have the same, than probably this is Your solution.

And now standby power consumption is 6-7mA (instead of 58-82 mA) before! (GPS and all wireless functions swiched off)

WLAN and 3G and GPS and bluetooth on: 67 mA

only WLAN and 3G: 16 mA

Since there is evidence, that there are many possible reasons and solutions for the battery drain, I'd recommend the following procedure:

1) in android: turn the gps off, turn off autorotate display, un-ticking the "use GPS satellite" in android's location setting

measure standby current

2) delete the DATA folder on your SD card. It is stored under Android/root/data.

reboot android with lit key when launching Haret

measure standby current

3) in WinMob: check/set registry key (using regedit.Mrln_ARM.cab)

HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_C lass\High_Capacity

DisablePowerManagement=0

reboot Android, measure standby current -> that's what helped me!

4) in WinMob: disable light sensor (e.g. in touchlock pro if installed), airplane mode before booting and Lights on when launching Haret

reboot Android, measure standby current

if this help, you may find KeypadLedControl_v0.4.cab useful, that keep keylights on, while display is on

5) in android: replace /system/lib/hw/lights.qsd8k.so and /system/lib/lights.qsd8k.so

reboot Android, measure standby current

Anyway I find the bootloader EBL2.1a._PlusUbuntu.CAB useful to start android easily and automatically (as long as using SD android)

Solved my battery drain problem

I've been using MCCM SE3.4 without problems (7 mA standby) for several months. Last week, my battery ran flat in the middle of the day which was unusual. CurrewntWidget showed 60 to 100 mA power consumption during standby.

I tried several fixes, eg reformatting SD card, changing brand of SD card, upgrading radio ROM, registry fix to disable power management for SDHC cards, pressing Home key to turn on LEDs before running clrcad.exe and haret.exe etc. Nothing worked until I replaced lights.qsd8k.so. Power consumption in standby dropped to 5 mA immediately.

Another sceptic turned believer here.

Hope you know that,If we combine kernel,WINMO ROM,settings,android build&etc...There can be thousand of combinations...and this may make new HD2 users more blur.The problems occur when battery issue lead to WINMO rom issue,android build issue&etc...

and why dont we just focus on some major things?such as processor speed and some tips about personal usage?furthermore,every build chef already recommend what they have tested is the best and recommend to us(of course they know their own build better than we do)...Last, this project is still under development...If you just mix& match...the result you get might not differ much...we still running android from SD card...Newbies will become more confuse with these combination stuffs...

This IS a useful thread.

Her are my findings (no files edited):

6mA standby airplane

6/8mA standby

132mA %40 backlight 3g enabled everything off

227mA %100 backlight 3g enabled everything off

109mA %10 backlight 3g enabled everything off

gps enabled/deactive no difference

wifi connected but idle 5mA-10mA difference (would be around 100mA when wifi is active but is never active 100% of time)

148mA 998mhz performance idle

278mA 998mhz stress

466mA max everything (100% backlight, everything enabled, flash benchmark test in browser, wifi download) my phone actually crashed while doing all these :)

Currentwidget must be set to minimum 1 minute interval. (If you refresh in seconds you may get wrong results) You must wait at least 2 minutes for a stable reading.

Battery capacity is 1230mA. Capacity/Drain=Hours but it is not linear. Expect it to be lower than that calculation. I am draining around 1% in standby and around 10% while using. Peaks to 15-20% if I am outside with 100% backlight. Your 2G/3G signal strength will affect battery drain.

True - that's why I'm focusing on what is a buggy custom hw lib in Android causing high standby batt drain included in some Android builds. Chefs are only human and they're bound to make mistakes. I'm hoping my post will serve as a workaround until all builds have this bug fixed.

@memin1857

i have almost same build as you,but my radio is 2.10

however when the screen is on,my current is up at least 200mA,why yours is so low?

do you have widget running in the background?do you have setcpu running etc?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aussiebum:
The old lights.qsd8k.so isn't patched to work with our HD2's green and amber-only notification led... it also consequently doesn't have whatever bug was introduced into it.

I initially thought widgets might lead to different power drains too... but in my day-to-day HD2Froyo v2 build I got standby of ~6ma... this is with weather widgets, Gentle alarm, gesture search bar and other crap running. A clean Shub1.5 build with standard widgets and with the "old" lights.qsd8k.so came up with 8ma.

So no, I don't think it makes much significant difference... unless of course, Background Data Enabled is checked and there's some widget downloading data every 5minutes in the background of course.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aussiebum:
Think only the one under /lib/hw is relevant. Lights.htcleo.so controls keypad led and backlight (at least) I believe.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
I drain around 140mA when screen is on with %40 backlight and data disabled.

I drain more than 200mA when backlight is %100.

I have setcpu running on demand 245-998

What is your backlight set to? Never set it to auto or %100 unless you are under sunlight. Data usage will affect mA drain. My readings are with data disabled or inactive.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aussiebum:
I had the similar problem after deleting lights.qsd8k.so and charging from my PC... the key is to NOT delete lights.qsd8k.so but to REPLACE it. That fixed the issue for me.
