For the guys that have standby around 50-70ma, please shut off you WiFi and GPS when you are not using it. At work (no WiFi) I get 5-7ma standby. At home (on WiFi) I get about 58ma standby.

Try Y5 from the market to shut off you WiFi when away from known wireless points automatically.

3 to 5 mA on standby. MDJ Froyo Clean 2.4 with stock tmous ROM 3.14, 2.15.50 radio.

I have found that if you boot into Android as soon as possible after power on or reboot, the low power drain is enabled. If you wait, or boot into Android after some time in WinMo, the low power consumption is gone and 57 to 60 mA in standby is the norm.

I always disable all of my WinMo today plug-ins including Sense to speed up the process.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deadmansink:
5mA to 7mA
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markmarkr:
When my phone starts pulling 70mA it will continue to do it with WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS off and in Airplane mode. My guess is something like WiFi is getting stuck on even though Android is telling me it is turned off.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Unconn:
That is strange. I wonder if that actually could be down to the ROMs (and radios?). Could be BT though. I never use it, so that could be getting stuck on..?

Mine will pull 50-70ma even off WiFi for a while sometimes (like right after I am done using it for the web and such), but then it will calm down after a while and usually start pulling between 4-11ma pretty consistently. With medium use I get about 12 hours. If I browse the web or play games for too long it drops right down to under 8 hours though. I am sure I could get 24hours+ if I did not use it and stayed off Wi-Fi. LOL

Radio: 2.15.50

WinMo: ChuckyROM 3.14(?)

Android: CM6.1 nightly 11182010 by michyprima

My only major problem is a daily network lock when using mobile data. A quick Airplane mode toggle fixes it. I think most of us have this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Wampirate:
If you are having battery drain issues, like 20+ on standby, i'd recommend doing this:

Launch android

Then download and start terminal emulator.

And write:

su

rm /data/system/batterystats.bin

After typing su "#" will show, then write the other part, and another "#" should show

Then turn off the phone. Take out battery for a few seconds, put it back again and charge to full batery(green led). Then start the phone, launch android and the batttery in standby should be about 5-7mA even with wifi on.

This method was invented by lemar123 from pdaclub.pl forum. I din't come up with this myself. Use at your own risk.

Hi!

You people that reports <10 mA drain. Does it stick? I mean, does it stay like that for every standby period for a longer time (weeks), without reverting back to >60 mA drain?

I can get the phone to standby at <10 mA for some time, but often (at least once a day) it revert back to >60 mA. The only action that seems to resolve the issue is a reboot. For some hours after a reboot everything is fine (standby <10mA), but it always revert back to >60 mA, and I cant determine if some special circumstances triggers the behaviour either.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markmarkr:
A slight update on 60mA drain for me. I updated my radio from 2.14.something to 2.15.50.14 and the latest VBN (from ChuckyDroidROM). That didn't seem to do much, within a few hours I was back to 60mA with everything turned off. (I do seem to have better reception at home where I get very little or no signal though).

I then updated my custom CM6.1 build to use cedesmith's new initrd.gz and I haven't had high drain in 3 or 4 days since I did it. Now this makes absolutely zero sense to me, but I guess it's something to try if people are desperate. Grab a new build that uses the new initrd.

You can have 0mA in stand by... if it's plugged in to charge... first minute after unplugging will have 0mA :) ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eenbox:
Everyone needs to understand that stand-by drain is affected by the apps you install... that'why it is good to nstall an app and test the battery how it works. For instance I found these to drain battery more: 3G watchdog, power widget, pulse news app, weather bug app, and ANY other app that may involve itself with settings of the phone itself... read what an app will affect before you install it ... all of these gave me stand-by of 60-70mA just because it uses some resources that makes battery drain more... ps. Once uninstalled my battery stand by went back to normal low 3-6mA withou a reseting the phone.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markmarkr:
For what it's worth, changing to the new initrd fixed 60mA drain for me (as I said above) and I am still running exactly the same apps as I was before.

Kernel: Hastarin 8.5.1oldcam

Exceller Autoloader

Everything works for me on this build except for 720p video recording. I used to have the 50-60mA drain issues until I started using Exceller's autoboot. From personal experience I strongly believe that how quickly you boot android after booting winmo has a lot to do with the battery consumption once android is booted. I have Exceller set to 3 seconds. I also put winmo into airplane mode just in case.

Try running SuperPower and use the task killer in that, and use any profile you think would help. See if it saves battery even more. Also you can probably figure out which app is killing your battery if you try one by one (might take some patience)

For those who have < 7ma on standby, is it ALWAYS that low on standby? I mean my drain is about 5ma too some time.

A lot of patience

(seriously) - resizing can be a *****

- And some sweet widgets!

This can be done with basically any widget. I re-did the entire post so let me know if you need actual instructions.

I think the screenshots are pretty self-explanatory but feel free to PM me or reply to the thread with suggestions.

I was informed of adding widgets this way by Hollywood. Earlier I did it inversely - but this way the widgets won't overlap the wrong way

if you reboot and stuff like that. All your widgets will stay where they are until you move or resize them again.

Great tutorial!

Just wondering, how is it that your widget list combines your items. Meaning, for gTab simi clock, it just shows its listed one time then in () it shows u have 4 options, whereas in mine it actually list all 4 items. (see screenshot) Therefore my widget list is hella long. Wondering of u used an app to condense the list?

Hi. I'm trying to install one of your SMS Unread Widget Mod without success. Can you post the correct way of doing this?

[Android Themes] zHk3R:
You don't need to modify SMS Unread Count - You can add custom images to your SDcard > data > kankosmswidget. Just drop your images (.png) there and choose Custom Icon when you add SMS Unread Count.

I'm on the Oxygen ROM - I'm pretty sure most 'new' AOSP ROMs have that feature. Either way I've had it since I first got my Desire and tried out OpenDesire. It's not an application or anything that does it - It's the ROM.

[Android Themes] Ste11a:
This is very helpful and you're correct. Patience is a must. Thanks.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
When you have a big grid like I do widgets already kind of overlap. When I moved the weather widget beneath SiMiClock it ended up too far down - So I moved it one column up and resized it one column down - If that makes sense.

The widget being used as a background is added first.

Then all other widgets.

You can also add it last, but that'll make it overlap if you reboot your phone or anything like that.

I'm glad someone got use of it! I've been playing around with resizing for some time now and still I have to add and re-add all of my widgets multiple times for it to come out right :p
[Android Themes] Max_Pain:
any answer to my question a few posts above?

i want to do this but i dont use simi clock. can it be done with clockr or typoclock?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
It can be done with any widget using a background. The downside to using Clockr for example is that no matter how you resize the clock/date will adjust to the middle of the widget. You can set the clock/date to align left or right but lets say you make the background 4x2 - The clock/date will be shown where-ever you alligned it - In the middle.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
You can download SiMiClock - Set the text transparency to 0 so you only end up with a black box. Follow the same 'routine' as I do in the first post and it should be cool.
[Android Themes] Max_Pain:
i already have simiclock and i use it on my lockscreen. but for the overlay i wanted it on my homescreen where i use another clock. dont know why i didnt think of the transparency setting! will give it a shot. thanks!

Question, my LauncherPro Plus does ForceCloses many times a day with the message that "acore" must be closed.

Same Procedurce 15 times a day, anyone a idea?

And then there's the rare widgets (can't think of a specific one right now) that when resized the text or icons etc. don't adjust at all. Only the box gets bigger and the stuff inside stays still. :(

Hello all.

I what to buy a new phone, and I want the best. But I don't know what to chose and need some help.

I have one HD2 (Super phone for me) and I always used Windows Mobile, but recently I try'd Android on my HD2 and I must say I'm realy impressed with it.

But now comes Windows Phone 7, and for what I read, i'm not impressed at all with it, maybe in 1 year from now Windows / becames usable for me (Flashalolic).

So my question is what is the best phone I can buy now or in the next 1 or 2 month?

Thanks for any help.
