I think any time mobile data is turned off the battery life is going to sky rocket!

Fortunately, by using ultimate juice you can automate this - using wifi when available and mobile data at other times without having to manually switch. Better still, this leaves both off unless the screen is active. Made a hell of a difference to my Desire.
[Desire HD General] s0litaire:
i keep mobile data off (only turn it on when i'm out of range of a usable wi-fi)

screen brightness is at 30%

I use "Set CPU" to lower the CPU to 256Mhz when the screen is off.

I get all my mail via gmail.

there's also a hidden app (can't remember how to start it but it's a *# code)

you cna use that to set what type of mobile network it looks for (I've defaulted to use GSM but use 3G when required).

This keeps the mobile form constantly looking for a 3G signal when youre in a bad signal area (or in the bottom of your bag!) But this won't affect data, only voice calls.

The constant looking for networks is one of the biggest drains on a mobiles battery after the screen/light.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Please try and remember, I would like to experiment with this ... unless it's for the 3 network only?
[Desire HD General] wmfreak:
I've had about 8 HTC phones in the past few years and I've always been very pleased. Lime many others before buying the DHD I did my research and got a little worried about battery life. I wish people would just post opinions for the sake of it (especially in the first day or two of use) because it's very misleading. After having the DHD for a while now I can honestly say that I'm really impressed with it especially with the battery life.

I previously owned the HTC Desire and at first had much worse battery than the DHD mainly because of the AMOLED screen and it needed some tweaking after root. At the end I was getting at 3 days of battery with all the common daily abuse.

With the DHD I got 2 days right form the start and you know what it's like in the first few days. You pull it out for no reason, play with it, show it to everybody try everything and even so it lasted 2 days. Now that I'm back to just the normal use/abuse I get 3 days with no root, no custom rom or other tweaks.

SO anyone doubting the DHD battery life, FEAR NOT it's a great device!!!

[Desire HD General] vimto25:
I agree great device but could you please put your battery up on ebay for auction as I think you've got an amazing battery and could make Fair few hundred pound from it or even send to htc so they can use as prototype and make all of us replacements that lasts days like yours.

I personally think the battery sucks but with the hardware you carnt expect much more from the battery thy choose for this device.
[Desire HD General] l0w:
My battery is about a week old. It wont make it through a working day (8 hours) if i use the phone for anything. It wont even last a morning (2 hours) if I'm making calls and browsing net more intensively.
[Desire HD General] Basil3:
Not true. I've had several smart phones, and I can't last a full day doing the same things that I did with my Hero. I don't have anything syncing regularly either. Weather every 3 hours is about it.

3 days of use? By my reckoning the main dictator of battery life is screen on time. I find that I get 3 to 4 hours of screen on usage time out of a charge. This would equate to an hour a day to last for 3 days. Unfortunately I use my phone a lot more than that.

I'm not doubting other people's opinions, but I'm seriously starting to think that I got a dud battery or something.
[Desire HD General] Blinkydamo:
Try *#*#4636#*#*
[Desire HD General] s0litaire:
Yup that's it!

*NOTE*

i'm not sure what this setting may do to your phone on your network, but take note of all settings before you have a play around...

"call" that number to get the "Testing" screen up.

go to "Phone Information"

Scroll down and change "WCDMA preferred" to "GSM auto (PRL)"

[Desire HD General] insaned:
I have HTC's since it came from QTEK.. I had 5 HTC before Desire HD.

Before this I had a HD2 (leo), and matching the most options possible between them, this is the faster draining phone that I had after HTC diamond.

Actually I've always thought that the HD2 due to the screen size had a very good battery.

I've been using desire HD a LOT since it's the first android that I had put my hands on my own, so I can be due to that, but most of the time I getting like 5hours or less from it which is getting me frustrated for the first time. Also there is a problem with this model, they probably won't be able to do a oficial expanded battery with this type of battery slot, due to the configuration.

However, I'll try to avoid touch it too much than the "normal" and see how it goes.. But I'm pretty sure that it's way faster draining than my older HD2.

BTW, I'm using "GSM auto (PRL)"
[Desire HD General] n4v1n:
I think people are reporting battery issues at first because its such an amazing device that when they first receive it they use the crap out of it and over time the amazement wears off and they begin to use it normally :)
[Desire HD General] insaned:
In my case it could be, however, the last time I had this "feeling" it was with HTC diamond. And it was only usable for me with the expanded battery. As I said, let's see...

The only real way is to flash buzz oc kernel...much better battery using his govoner
[Desire HD General] RandyKaoss:
I know that the battery will improve, but since I received my DHD on Friday 26th I've had to charge it, from almost empty, 5 times!

I've been using it a lot though, taking pics, HD video, playing Angry Birds...

To be honest though, battery doesn't seem much worse than my Xperia X1's (which was awful until I installed NRG ROM :D )
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
Well...

I have a DHD with LeeDrOid rom & Buzz 1.5Ghz kernel, my g/f has a DHD with everything stock....

As my contract with internet has not yet started (tomorrow it will), I use my DHD less during the day, but more in the evening. If I don't play a lot of games or fiddle around with it in any way (but with Wifi and/or GPS on), I can get about 2, maybe a couple of hours more, out of my DHD.

I I play a lot with it, 1 day and it needs some juice.

My G/f's DHD is not tweaked (l for instance also have setcpu setup with screen off profiles and governors) and hers is up for over 1 day as well (she has internet enabled all day and has pushing enabled as well).

So in general....we both get 1 day of play time each :)

I just play a bit harder ;)
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Did you set the kernel to use smartass.....this really made a big difference for me...no longer need to charge everyday...the new 1.0.6 is even better :)
[Desire HD General] vimto25:
Had mine for a month and not a lot has changed even if I use the device less frequent. So I come to terms with it now that its a battery eating machine, I'm not saying there is somet up with the battery as there is other devices that are very similar.think we all need to come to terms that the battery isn't the best but prity much on the same level as other latest phones.
[Desire HD General] leoking3:
I was almost not to buy this phone, due to reviews stating that battery sucks. Well, as many of you guys above, I noticed that the battery is maybe somewhat better that other smartphones I owned (and I owned a lot). I took it off the charger yesterday at 7:30 AM and today is 13:30 PM and it shows 31% battery left. I use it on 2G (only turn on 3G when I need browsing outside the house) and with display brightness at 35% (which is enough to enjoy the great screen). You can imagine I just got the phone 3 days ago and I played with it a lot, showed it to friends, browsed on wifi or mobile data, played games. I dont listen to music on the go, but I watched youtube and listened to a few songs at home. So, especially for those of you in doubt due to battery, go ahead and buy the phone, set it up wisely and wont have any trouble.
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
Yes, I did....I also set the profiles to use smartass and 368/245 Mhz when screenoff etc...

Battery life is quite acceptable, considering the size and power of the DHD....

The 1 day use is when I am playing too much angry birds, browse the internet for 1 hour+ and am tweaking it a lot....in this case the screen is on for couple of hours, so 1 day is really not too bad I think ;)

Eclair: Xillius200's,Mikeyman77's,Spikeynick94's DroidEris 2.1r3

thats pretty much all for that all though updates come rather slow maybe zx donut is better anywho idk for themes
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDrumz:
I would recommend GammaFly. It has all the speed and stability of the 2.2 AOSP ROM, except for it has a really nice theme put on it.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamal717:
Gammaflys battery life is worse tho and its honestly not as fast
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDrumz:
Not for me. The battery life is just as good as it was on the 2.2 AOSP ROM. And GammaFly is pretty much the same as 2.2 AOSP, because it is based off of it, and the only big changes to the ROM is theming, and some added apps, which shouldn't affect speed and battery life. At least in my opinion.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmsweet21:

[Droid 2 General] Skreelink:
Here's the situation; I have a Droid 2, on PagePlus, which I enjoy using on wifi when available (at home basically), and the GPS, since PP doesn't give much data. I also have an EnV2, which has verizon service, and I can use for tethering via USB/Bluetooth on PC.

My question to you: Is there a way to tether the Droid to the EnV2 (They've been paired, but Droid only shows 'unpair' option). and use the 3G connection on the EnV2 to give internet (like wifi, not phone capabilities) to the Droid.

I've notice the lack-luster bluetooth capabilities of the droid (unless they be hidden away from me, my precious...)

Basically I want Droid > EnV2 > 3G (via #777 DUN or WAP proxy, whichever way) all via bluetooth. It'd be so much easier if the EnV2 had wifi, but alas, it doesn't.

Serious answers please, this is mainly for times I don't have my laptop (I can EnV2 > ICS Wifi when I have my laptop), just when I have both phones on me and no wifi source for the Droid, wouldn't be much of an issue if the EnV2 actually had a REAL browser with HTML capabilities...

Just for information; the Droid has been rooted.

Hi guys,

I might buy a HD2 and I want to do everything that a current DHD or DesireZ can do. So keeping this in mind what are things that I shouldnt expect from HD2 ?

Thanks, Help me decide whether or not to buy this phone :)
[HD2 General] sathara:
go for HD7
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Yeah, the Desire builds of Android are indeed pretty decent, and sooner or later the HD2 is gonna be running WP7 aswell so thats kinda a double win there.
[HD2 General] smeddy:
??? Hmmm, helpful.

If you want to run Android full-time, then battery life may be your biggest issue, but apart from that I find that the current Android ROMs are pretty flawless, and it might be worth the trade-off for allowing you to dual-boot to WM, and save a few £100...

I'd say software-wise there's next to no difference, so after that, it's just a case of comparing the hardware side-by-side to seeing if any differences matter to you, e.g. camera-quality etc.

And a HD7 is just the HD2 hardware, but with non-expandable memory, and an okay-ish OS. Certainly not worth shelling out top-dollar for yet.
[HD2 General] suhas_sm:
No HD7 please. Dont want a WP7 for now. Just want an android phone.

How bad is battery while running android ? Not looking forward to run WinMo anwyays.

I wanted to buy DHD... But its not available in US. Its quite expensive. And no other options for 4.3 Inch screen :(
[HD2 General] smeddy:
If you visit the HD2 Android forums, there's a lot in there about battery life expectations. From all that I would have read, I think a safe generalisation is ~18 hours between recharges, so it depends if that suits your daily patterns (I can just about make it back into bed each night with a little juice left, and then leave it on charge until the next morning).

I've ordered the HTC Extended Battery, which will hopefully give me 1.5/2 days.
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
wow............totally bad post there.....who wants to downgrade to WP7?
[HD2 General] suhas_sm:
Apart from battery no other issues ? Battery if gives me 12 hrs of heavy usage i would be happy :) It delivers every thing that a nexus one /desire/DZ/DHD delivers ? :)
[HD2 General] smeddy:
I'd really like others to reply, as the more opinions the better :), but yes, I find that is is just like the Desire in every regard.

People have faced problems with:

-Data dropping

-Screen taking a while to turn on if screen rotation is on

-'Robot voice' on calls (e.g. you can't hear your call through distortion

But I believe I am right in saying that these have all been just about resolved within the last few weeks in many ROMs. Finding the right combo of ROM and Radio takes some time, but when you do, you should be fine. I face no issues on a daily basis.

The ROMs runs smooth, you get fine-running Live Wallpapers, all Apps work great without slowdown, WiFi is fine, I believe the same with Bluetooth, etc. etc. Some ROMs still have quirks, and in mine (MDeeJay Froyo Revolution) I find sometimes that I cannot save a Contact, but otherwise yes.

If money is no object, get the Desire.

If..

-You want to save the £300 or so

-Want the flexibility of another OS to use

Then get the HD.

I'd suggest looking around http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=743 and even perhaps posting this Q there as well.

Hey guys/gals what is up. I'm so happy to announce that sometime next week my HTC Aria will be handed to me by UPS. Anyway I have been a member here for a while under the HTC Fuze(Touch PRO)section and tinkering around with there android port. That was untill my phones touch screen decided not to work back in june. So I have been Sitting around with my old Nokia that still has the Cingular Wireless logo on the back. Anyway I can't wait to finally be back in the phone game and finally on a true android phone. Is there any apps besides advanced task killer I should keep my eye out on?

Thanks a bunch,

Matt(AkumaMax)
[Off-topic] 911jason:
I used Advanced Task Killer for a week or so, then heard some saying you shouldn't use a task killer with Android. After reading up a bit on the subject, I came to the conclusion that they are unnecessary and may actually increase battery drain.

There are a ton of great apps. Depends on what you want to do... I would highly recommend LauncherPro for customizing the look of your phone. Camera360 is a great app for adding special effects to your camera images. I use Appbrain.com to browse the market, and it's companion apps Appbrain Market and Fast Web Installer both installed on my phone. This combo allows me to browse their website for apps and click INSTALL on the website to send the app to my phone and install it without me having to do anything else.

Not sure how adventurous you're going to be with modding your phone. It took me about two weeks to build up the courage to root and install a custom ROM. I don't regret it a bit! I installed Cyanogen 6.1 RC1 and then a couple days later RC2 released, so I installed that. Basic benefits of doing this are upgrading from Android 2.1 to 2.2, ability to side-load apps from the SD card, moving apps to the SD card and off the internal phone memory, live wallpaper support, and I'm sure there are plenty more, but that's what hits me off the top of my head.

There's lots of good help on these boards, I've asked plenty of noobish questions and haven't had a single nasty response. Don't hesitate to ask anything that comes to mind... after you search, of course! =)
[Off-topic] AkumaMax:
Oh there is no doubt I want to root the phone. Just for the fact I want my apps off my phone and on my SD card only. I modded my HTC fuze to the fullist but now it's useless. So I can't wait to get back into the game. I know this phone is not the greatest out there but like I said it's something to get me by untill I decide on the Nexus One or maybe an EVO. Anyway I heard that same info about Advanced task killer so I will probibly stay away from that. I just want the ability of my phone to be the best it can be. Hope to see all you soon.

@911Jason man, you're such a pest! Hahahahah j/k

So, I would go against putting all of your apps on the SD card. I've done a lot of research on this, and unless you have a Class 6 or higher card, running apps from the SD are pretty pointless. There is a pretty decent support forum around, it might take a while to get a reply, but its getting better.
