I guess I'm one of the few that just hasn't had as many issues with the battery life in Android, and I use my phone very heavily...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hakeem5:
Glad to see its worked out for some, and for me in the midwest, the 2.12 radio makes a much better difference on battery life than 2.10(Tmo USA) and the H/3g connection switches but is more stable than before.

And @jjones yeah thats cool, funny how we can all have the same device, same rom and same settings but battery life is good for some and horrible for others, mysteries of the world lol. Either way, i Love android on My Hd2, stopped me from paying 2 cancellation fees to go to sprint for the htc evo, my phone is faster and gets better battery life than people with an actual Evo, im not sure if its Htc sense or all those syncs they have with htc sense.

All day means ALL DAY and 10-15 minutes each hour WHEN you get the chance before clients is not the same thing!

Thats what i thought, most of the claims are over exaggerated and miss leading
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Espentf:
I really don't have any issues with the battery life when running android.

It lasts for like 1-2 days with what I consider moderate usage.

(picking it out of my pocket every 15-20mins to check for messages, browsing a couple of web pages, reading emails etc).

When I was downloading my offline playlists from spotify the battery drained in like 3hours or so, but on a day to day basis it lasts for at least 1 day.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hakeem5:
Left my blackberry at home today, Phone charged to 98%, off work today so i made my regular phone calls, 1hr here, 45 mins here, 30 mins there, sent about 100 texts, played wordfeud, browsed the market from about 2-4pm with few breaks, downloaded about 10 new apps, deleted some old ones, did some browsing on news sites, replied to a few fb msgs, checked about 30 emails, replied to about 15.

Took phone off charger at 9am, used it about as i normally use my phone, it is now 9:30 pm, 61% battery left. Where is the misleading claim? Im not sure if you frequent the forums or installed different android roms but the AVERAGE drain i was getting was from 100% to dead within about 6-8 hours, and thats WITHOUT even using the phone so anything better than that to me is GREAT.

I have an important question for you once again.... 1. HAVE YOU TRIED THE SETUP + ROMS that i have posted specifically to test the improved battery life?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vysus:
To ITA users

..but to everybody else too :)

I use H3G and since last july I never have been able to see my HD2 with Android run-in last a whole day due the horrific battery drain. Yesterday I left the device on under Vodafone GPRS coverage, at 88%, Exchange configured for push mail, other 2 accounts with automatic check every 5 and 15 minutes, RSS every hour, weather every three hours, it was 11.40 PM. Woke up this morning at 5.50: it lost 10% only, nearly a miracle, never seen before, so, Yeah! Definitely can say that drainage depends on career, especially if, 3 e.g., need a constantly data traffic open in a different way than others to work, try and let us know...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kivine:
Well, I have used both 2.10 and 2.12 radio. Just on some rough estimates I have

around 20% more battery life on 2.12
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] silas_action:
gonna give this one a go. i'll report back to let you know how it went
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Wildcopper:
This is all nice theory, but in reality, the main power user in the HD2 is the screen. If you look at your battery stats after a while, the screen will be responsible for over 80% of the power consumption. So whatever other settings you tweak, you will only earn very little battery life.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
I agree with this, if you understand what SetCPU is doing, you can improve battery life very much but there is no need to throttle your phone right back, it will only use what it needs anyway which won't be much unless you are running 3d games.

If you read the help of SetCPU it says that the powersave governer is only to be more efficient that setting the min and max to the same, the best governor for economy is conservative.

After autodetect I use:

245-1036 conservative with the following profiles:

screen off 245-460 on demand (allow faster wakeup)

temp > 38 245-576 conservative

battery < 50 245 768 conservative

this gives me a phone which uses about 30% for a day (7am to 9pm) with light use. this means if I use the phone more heavily I won't have much left but who cares, I charge it in the off state over night and boot it in the morning.

I had an n95 which I am sure had a hardware fault after 2 years, it used to reboot in a call, I am sure it is because I never turned it off and charged it while it was on overnight, I am sure the heat damaged the cpu.

it would be better if people read and understood the help that comes with SetCPU.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
There is a good app called "brightness settings widget", I use this on my home screen, I set the screen to 1/4 or 1/2 and then when I need more (outside etc) I turn it up and turn it back later. It is good because the lowest setting does not turn off the backlight leaving you with difficulties getting it back on :)

Between this and SetCPU I get very good battery life that is better than WinMo.

Also prefer wifi over network where possible.

Also, I don't bother with a task killer, if your read up on the google android os, there is no need for a task killer, the os suspends things properly.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zamurai:
Hi there, could you be more specific on which brightness widget you're using? cause there's a few on the market. mind to give us the specific names or link?

thanks...

want better battery life? buy a bigger battery! 30$ on ebay, official 2300 HTC.

set screen off to 384-245. norm to 1036-576. there u go. 3 days on one big battery. without losing performance.

omg he a jeenuz! ......

these steps are detailed in many builds first posts. if you read the first post, you wouldnt have battery issues to begin with.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maheshhtc:
Thanks for ur suggestion. I tried the procedure as mentioned but keeping the original WM rom but just changing to Radio 2.14. It worked.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hakeem5:
Yeah this rom is old now, i upgraded to Hyperdroids android rom, battery life is decent and it is true the backlight drains but the MAJORITY of my drain now is from standby, i always have service but it reports that it was looking for service for 60% of the time since off of the charger on radio 2.12, funny. I just accepted the battery life now, even on REAL android devices the battery life is far from good so im happy to get most of the day without having to recharge lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Flanagan0318:
I might be a bit dense but.........

I keep seeing people post that the are using:

Android Rom: ▐HYBRID▐07.09.2010▐warrenb213 CM6 9/6-V1.5a T-Mo US Optimized▐ Kernel:mitchyprima r10▐ RMNET version

But on his thread it only has a PPP download for this version. RMNET says coming soon.

There is an older version that has RMNET... 1.2a or somesuch.

Just wondering where you guys got these roms at? I'm having a ton of trouble with the 1.5a PPP.

Edit: I think I found the answer but just to confirm: Use a script to change to RMNET right? Its already included in the ROM?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gumataotao:
The biggest drain on my battery, which I learned recently thru conversations with tmous tech support, is due to the terrible signal I get at home. Due to the upgrades to the service in my area my phone is almost constantly searching for phone service. While at home I switch to gsm only and I get more bars on average. This seems to help my battery life a lot. I keep it on wcdma only setting while out on the road. While my signal is strong my current widget usually reads 6ma on wake up and 150-200 whith the screen on. Hopefully fixes their service in my area soon or we get the calls over WiFi app working.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallan:
I know this is weird, or it might be just me not knowing much about this stuff, but here's what happened

Yesterday I was looking for a software for maps/navigation and ended up installing a free one (OsmAnd), and then procceeded to create the maps with Mobile Atlas Creator.

So far so good, I created a detailed map for my zone, consisting of around 95k tiles according to the program, which weighted around 440MB.

So I checked the free space on my SD Card and it said that it had 1.5GB free, so I proceeded to copy it. The thing is, it told me that I didn't have enough space. I thought it was an error, so I tried again, but it just wouldn't let me.

So I then went to check my SD Card and erased a lot of things that were there that I wouldn't need anymore, and I freed around 3.8GS worth of space, and tried again. This time, it did copy the files (which by the way, took bloody ages), and after it was finished, I checked the available space on the SD and it said that it had around 150MB free.

I can't help but think that something is awfully wrong, but I also thing this could be related to some sort of compression or something alike (I used both, a Mac with OSX and a PC with Windows 7).

What do you guys know/think about this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech_Boy:
Sorry I can't help with your problem.

But your in Alajuela Costa Rica? If so awesome I am in Jaco :cool:

Are you on kolbi? How's it working out for you?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
It's probably because of the block size of the sd card. When you copy lots of small files (like you did) they will therefore take up a lot more space.

On 4GB cards I believe that the block size is larger than for instance a 8GB. that's my experience anyway.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallan:
Yes, I'm in Alajuela. And Kolbi, for me at least, is working just fine.

I'm getting like 950kbps download and 300kbps upload (which might suck for people outside CR, but it's quite awesome around here)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech_Boy:
Yeah I am getting 1056kps download and around 300kps upload too; love it! Working great. Except for waiting for my replacement nexus to get here :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It depends on the partitioning of the SD card.

If you have it partitioned with big blocks and copying a huge amount of small files - yes, theoretically it's possible. How many files are we talking about?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallan:
Around 95 thousand XD

I guess that's it then.

Is there any way to change that?

I just ordered a new 16GB SD card, but if there's anything I could do to prevent something like this in the future, that would be great.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Only to change file system on the SD card to use smaller blocks (less wasteful, but more reads/writes and less performance), or use packed file format (pack all the small files into one bigger file - using tar/zip/whatever), or use compressing file system (it's going to be troublesome - NTFS supports that, but I'm not sure NTFS-formatted SD card will mount on Android, and it's also performance overhead).

The main trouble is that on 16GB card you're going to have those files take 4 times as much space as they did on 4GB card. Since these are very small files, each file is essentially a block - and the blocks grow in direct proportion to SD card size (using FAT32 and considering big cards). So by moving to 16GB card you're not gaining much.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallan:
Thanks for the answer.

The problem is mainly due to the fact that my current SD Card is only 4GB, and it's class 2, so I guess changing the partition for smaller blocks would indeed affect the performance.

Perhaps when I get my new 16GB Class 6 one that one will be a better choice.

I'll wait and see then.

UPDATE: Just saw you updated your post, so I'll update mine too.

I searched a little bit more on the dev's page and they warn about that behavior too. But they also indicate a way of creating a different type of file that the app also recognizes, that is like putting all the 95k files in one only file.

It's a bit bigger than the actual size of the 95k tiles (tiles were like 75MB, and the file is like 91MB), but I guess that this will alleviate the issue of it the file size skyrocketing when transferred to the SD Card.

Thank you very much for your explanation, it really helped me, at least it encouraged me to do some more research and find a solution to my problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eagleizer:
Format with smaller allocation unit size...

( HTC Desire Android 2.2 )

I had the same problem with my card getting full because of the big

allocation size. 500MB of files, took all my space on the 2GB SD-card.

I copied the whole card to my computers harddisk, where it used 3.44GB

of space. (because of larger allocation size)

I formatted my 2GB SD-card to FAT32 with an allocation unit size of 512

bytes. I moved all files back to my SD-card, and I now have all my space

back, and my almost 2GB total filesize (before formatting), is down to 500MB.

I don`t notice any difference in the phones performance. I use a sea-map

app. that stores the maps on the SD-card, and it works perfect.

You might want to try a higher allocation unit size than I did, I just don`t

want to waste any more time copying to find out what size is ideal.

Exact numbers now:

52.362 files, 136 folders

Size: 500MB

Size on disk: 516MB

Total capacity: 1,86GB

Free space: 1,36GB

Backup size on PC: 3,44GB

Hope this helps!

Post your feedback and findings ;)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compusmurf:
There IS a program in the market and 1 specific keyboard that will work, but it doesn't use the HID profile. The app uses SPP.

Any chance you can rip the .apk for me? :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] P00r:
I doubt they will allow access from outside their own network to use it.

If you need to access to your ilico or any other source on your system use a

slingbox

.

you can get one for under 300$ and listen to any tv show on the road (if you have a good data plan) their app is great as well! and no monthly fee..

P.s. if you check future shop they are way too expensive...
