So it requires super wipe - not now :/. And one more question, does calibration has big impact on battery life?
[Desire HD Android Development] clouds5:
I think it goes like this (i'm not sure because there isnt any clear information about this but thats how i think its working after the research i did...):

Your rom remembers when the battery is loaded to 100%. It can happen that those information are faulty and the rom thinks the battery is loaded fully but in fact its only at 80%. Its displaying 100% but in fact its only 80%.

Then you can recalibrate by deleting the battery stats when its loaded to 100% (0 mAh going into the battery) so the phone can save the correct values again.

It has been discussed many times but i'm still not sure how to recalibrate correctly... (Just deleting the file or drain and recharge without interruption).

Here's some interesting and complicated stuff on that page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1024867&page=53

What i get from it: Most newer batteries have some kind of selfcalibration implemented, if we have one like that you cant do anything wrong. But if its an older one it maybe needs a full drain and recharge to calibrate.

Found another site explaining everything in detail but also not easy to understand imho :cool:

[Desire HD Android Development] Mojowaex:
Hmm okay but it NEVER created any .battery-calibrated file.. I tried everything, 10h on charge but still no file after unplug and even after restart.. tried with phone switched off etc.. there is no .battery-calibrated under /data
[Desire HD Android Development] Vessarius:
Mike, can you explain to us, how it EXACTLY works? I would be very grateful :)
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
I explained few posts before :)
[Desire HD Android Development] clouds5:
General stuff about lithium-ion batteries:

-You can charge them at any % anytime without doing harm

-Keeping it at 100% for a long period of time means high voltage stress (4.2V) and is bad for the battery (for example: bump charging or storing your battery at full charge).

-Draining the battery to 0% means very low voltage (below 3.0V) and is even worse then keeping it on high voltage. You should always charge at ~10% if you can.

-High/Low Voltage stress often results in lower total capacity

-Your battery has a special chip implemented inside that monitors battery% and voltage values. It makes sure that it doesnt over- or undercharges!

-This chip works independently from the Android System and it does a good job nothing you need to "fix" !

[Desire HD Android Development] darude0306:
Well, I'm off to bed, so I hope I can wake up to a new ROM in the morning! :-D G'night...
[Desire HD Android Development] reaper90:
Yeah interesting question, what exactly do we need to do, after wiping battery stats (if we have to do anything at all). Restart? Full discharge and recharge again? Or just use it and charge whenever I feel like doing so? In every forum/on every website, they tell different instructions for battery calibration...

Edit: ah too slow, answer already given... Thanks! :)
[Desire HD Android Development] naturelle:
Why wiping? Is "rm /data/.battery-calibrated not good" enough?
[Desire HD Android Development] clouds5:
Thats good enough but mike always tries to write his posts so everyone can understand it. Not everyone knows about terminal commands and stuff ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Vessarius:
And that's his very big advantage! :cool:
[Desire HD Android Development] Wacco001:
Perseverare diabolicum :D
[Desire HD Android Development] clouds5:
you got it :p
[Desire HD Android Development] naturelle:
Ok, but "rm /data/.battery-calibrated" is not misunderstandable, simple and without any side-effect (as wiping data-partition will be). In my view it will be better to post both opinions for those who do not need the unwanted effects of erasing all data stuff.

And terminal is not a miracle.
[Desire HD Android Development] naturelle:
NACK. :( It's not.
[Desire HD Android Development] gkrananth:
Mike

Do you have plan to port leaked 2.3.5 wvga sense 3.0 for your Sense 3.0 ROM. Everybody saying this is the right Sense 3.0 rom for HD. what do you think?
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
You can always use root explorer and simply delete this file, it's even simpler ;) But my point was that battery wont be re-calibrated until some user special action will be made :p
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
I'm quite sure we'll see Sense 3.0 leak for DHD soon as well ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Sybregunne:
In linux any file name starting with "." is hidden so using es explorer you should go to settings and select show hidden files. Then you can delete it with the explorer. :d

Power drain...

I really like the stability of this great ROM, but it doesn't even last me a day and that's with standard settings and moderate use during the day.

Battery life was awesome on the Honeysense ROMs (at least twice this)

Any idea what the difference is or how to improve this one? Using standard settings, recommended radio, etc.
[Desire HD Android Development] SlurmMcKenzie:
I'd like to know that too.

My Phone runs perfectly, but i also flashed the phone of a friend, and his dhd won't even last half a day. Tried to set the govenors to powersave, but no luck there.
[Desire HD Android Development] Saluco:
I had 24 h battery life , with 4 h open screen , 1 h talking on the phone ...what do you understand by "moderate usage"

I shared my experience about battery life few pages ago

Even now when I'm writing to you I'm on 32% battery, after 28 min phone talking and 2:30 h open screen.

Hi I noticed you have no battery useage by Android System.

I wondered what your sync settings are/which apps you have running with email etc.

I have 1h 40min wake lock by Android System in 23h since unplugged and 9% battery drain by Android System.

Thanks in advance

Hmm not so different from mine... I have FB for Sense sync every 24h and one account in k9 which syncs every 2h + gmail and weather like you have.

I had to plug my phone in the charger a minute ago. 2h45min screen on, 30min calls and 23h standby thats all I get...

Guide for undervolting

hey mike

I was trying to play with voltages with vipermod on my phone, and I noticed there is no link to any the tutorial/guide in Q21.

Do you know one that is good? If so, could you add the link?

thx
[Desire HD Android Development] Wacco001:
For viperMOD this one is a nice start to read .. :)

Personal I use OC/UV Beater2 to change VDD (see my signature for a link)

Cheers,
[Desire HD Android Development] Saluco:
if you woul read the thread, about 50-100 oages ago, and read the post from Me , Xenova And Wacco, you would had all the guidelines you need ;)

and of course...being here is a lot about EXPERIMENTING BY YOURSELF :D :D :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Rolando88:
You're so fast mate it's amazing :P

Can't wait till sense 3.0 leak is out for desire hd I tested it from Capy's rom and it really looks amazing!

( after 10 minutes playing with it i restored ARHD 5.2.5 :P )
[Desire HD Android Development] Whiskey103:
Thanks mate,,, i know this was taking lot of time.. So highly appreciated. ;) I was to lazy to do it anyway haha.. :D

BTW: since this becomes a bit more popular item. I want to give credits to John Blundon to.. Since the theme zipp is named to the designer of the images. Now on this zipp we can't see it was a combined project. So if you see him around, hit his thanks button also guys.

Long-term Battery Usage Report

TLDR: Great ROM. Started with no battery problem now have battery problem.

ROM Version: 5.2.3 (Installed after a full wipe using the script provided in post 1)

Radio: 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2 (Appropriate RIL installed)

Additional Installed Apps:

Current Widget

LifeSaver

SMS Backup

Google+

Quick Settings

iGo

Mileage

Trolly

Barcode Scanner

xkcdViewer

AndroidVNC

Advanced Task Killer

Terminal Emulator

Maps

Diskusage

Sipdroid

Skype

First impressions

Very fast and very smooth!

Battery usage is very good. Around 0.8% per hour with Wifi, phone, GPS left on. (Mobile Internet is off, no calls, no dialler running - i.e. no calls made at all).

Unfortunately I've not had a block of time free where I can have the phone on aeroplane mode only with no additional apps installed (this is the only way to produce battery drain results that can be compared across ROMS).

Long Term Use

After some weeks, the phone has started to exhibit some unusual behaviour.

As others have noticed, there is a situation that causes the phone to use more power than usual. Usual drain on the phone is around 100ish mA with the screen on.

On charge it'll start around 150mA and slowly goes down to 0mA, according to Current Widget as expected, however, since the unusual behaviour has started, the phone has been reading around 345mA during charging and around 250mA off charge.

The most unusual thing is, it drains faster during charge than when off charge. That's right - it drains FASTER!

Drain is significant after the battery charges to 100% and the cable is left plugged in.

The phone isn't warm to the touch and doesn't seem to be heating up during these high power usage moments.

The terminal shows that there are no errant processes eating up CPU time.

Unusual Behaviour

Started happening after a random reboot whilst plugged into the car charger

Killing all apps has no effect on power consumption

Battery stats are not wiped after a full charge (see image)

Rebooting only solves the problem temporarily

Conclusion

The ROM is great and has good battery life. The strange reports of high battery seems not to be hardware dependent as I've only ever had this problem recently (and the hardware hasn't changed).

There must be some combination of factors that causes this.

My belief is that it has something to do with the OS not being able to delete the battery stats file. Perhaps the cause of the drain is the OS attempting to delete the file and not succeeding and trying again and again?

I'll be updating to 5.2.5 soon if anyone has any questions please ask soon before I wipe and install.

Yups... Sense 3.0 is a interesting mod. But it slowed down my DHD (ARHD 5.2.5) a lot!
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Haha, I didn't realise what was involved (mind numbing .png tweaking) so apologies if I made a presumptuous request before! I should be able to whip up a downanimation as well when my own current bout of laziness ends... :p

I wasn't sure what the etiquette was with regards to giving credit where credit is due as I assumed anyone interested in this bootanimation would be coming from your properly credited 4EXTRecovery theme. If I should edit the zip name appropriately or what have you that's no problem! Thanks again for the theme :cool:

Of course, I just flashed this one myself and it should match up perfectly! Let me know if there are any problems

Just updated to 5.2.5, used superwipe and clean install, and then restored stuff via Titanium Backup. Also updated to the recommended radio prior to install.

Couple of issues I'm coming across.

Mobile internet is very intermittent, drops very often, sometimes with no data coverage in areas where I never had issues previous

When I go to make a call, it takes 20-30 seconds for my previous calls/contacts to show up. Why such a delay? How to rectify?

There will be new HTC device in 2 months (Sense 3.5), another one in 4 months (Sense 4.0) etc. HTC is doing **** work. Stock Sensation ROM has 3D engine issue you can't even play ninja jump, bottom dock edge is not smooth, looks like done in Windows Paint. Moving icons from app drawer to open folder not always works and screen not always react on the touch. But HTC says - no, **** it! We better release another device in 2 months, who cares for HTC Sensation anymore, it's such an old device...

To make Sense heavier. I mean ...Sense 2.0 and 2.1 are quite good, but Sense 3.0 is just too much eye candy imo.

I really don't wanna know what's "new" in Sense 3.5 ...Unless it's functional

ARHD 5.2.5 and Wifi problem

Hello,

sorry for spamming but I asked for this 3 times and nobody answered and I was not able to resolve the problem by myself. I have a problem with wifi connection, which I never had before (on HTC stock or before ARHD 5.2.5). When I connect to the wifi first time everything seems ok I can browse internet, stream music, video etc. When I leave a phone and it goes to sleep mode for a longer time (1 hour) then when I wake it the wifi is disconnected even if I set that the wifi should be on all time, and I was not able to reconnect. When I try to reconnect I getting error "Unable to scan for network". When I turning wifi on/off several times I can see message "Obtaining IP address from ...." but wifi disconnects and then message "Unable to scan for network" start flashing :-( even if I see the wifi network list also with my wifi network. Now I have Stock ARHD without any tweaks like undervolting or overclocking. Strange thing is that after 10 or more retries wifi gets connected and woks. Really strange and I don't know what to do.

Please Mike or anybody else, help me.
[Desire HD Android Development] Vessarius:
Did you try reflashing ROM?
[Desire HD Android Development] shithead:
1. Check if the setting " Wifi Sleep Policy" is set to "Never" (you can find it here: Settings > Wireless & networks > Wifi Settings, press here on Menu button and press on "Advanced")

2. About that unable to connect to Wifi error, I got that too few weeks ago. Just change your Wifi channel in the router. That solved my Wifi connection problem :)
[Desire HD Android Development] scungilli:
I had this too, in my case it was solved by setting the sleep min frequency to the stock one (230MHz), I had it on a lower level before.
