Yes that makes complete sense to me because (at least for me) the datasync/having data on really causes bad drain. If I keep all that stuff off, I consistantly get 1-2 mA on standby with peaks of maybe 5 or 7 mA. It drops around 1% per hour. If I have data on, drain is occasionally 1 -3 mA, but I will see frequent spikes of 55, 60 or often even 120 -150 mA. This is what has consistantly drained my battery. It will drain exactly as you said, like 60% over 8 hours. If I know I don't need data, I turn it off. Usually when I turn it back on it syncs everything within a couple minutes anyway.

Loving this ROM

Must say I'm loving this rom and one of the reasons is I did everything from scratch ;). I had v1.1 which was very good but completely blew everything awat including formatting the SD card with the Panasonic formatter and the build time was extremely qick.

In terms of batter last night I left the phone in standby and over a period of 8hrs it dropped from 100% to 90% charge. Happy with that. I'll see at work tomorrow but as someone said switching the data sync off can save battery so I'm going to do this. No use having my PC, phone and table all telling me I have a new message!!!

[HD2 Android NAND Development] pafimal:
I just want to thank to Sergio for this rom its best one i've ever had, everything works as it should, i could write a story about how good is this rom but i think its not necessary, coz everyone here knows that this is best rom for our htc hd2,anyway, Thank you very much Sergio for this great release!:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shingers5:
I beg to differ with some users that do clean install as I find that upgrading from 1.1 to 1.2 has definitely enhanced this Rom. Battery life is much improved thus prolonging my user experience.

Weve gotten so spoiled were complaining about battery life. RH is right...u did a bad flash, have a corrupt dl or things are running in the backround.

How are these having so much trouble with this Rom? Wtf are you guys trying to do with it ffs. This thing is painless once follow detailed instructions. All these posts about same issues over and over again. Go back to beginning and see what you have prior to flashing build. I have radio 2.15 and not one issue at all.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mcc05:
UK users best radio, and auto screen brightness

Just wondering what radio everyone is using and what the results are.

Im on 2.15.50.14, which seems great with this build, but battery drain is still a problem.

The screen(as it would) hammers the battery, if I turn it down to 1% its dark but last a lot longer.

The automatic setting for the screen seems useless, never taking it down enough.

As well as the radio, is there a way to calbrate the automatic setting fro the screen brightness. i.e. tell the phone in this light I want the screen at 1%, and in this 100% etc.

Updates finished, this build is very nice, fast, smooth, stable, I love it!

Still got high battery drain (55mA when screen of and phone idle), going to have a look deeper since screen brightness is set to the minimum, no BT, no GPS, no Wifi, only datasync on (disabling it decreases the drain to 54mA...).

If anybody has a clue on where I could have a look into, it would be helpful.

I've had no problems at all since i flashed this on Friday night,none whatsoever and it's now Sunday afternoon and ive been using it a lot,battery drain is not a problem at all, people really need to understand that what they are using is a smart phone and no matter how many threads or apps,etc you have there is no quick fix for battery drain as of yet, the only solution if you want to make your battery last longer is to turn off things like GPS,bluetooth,WiFi,etc,etc,etc when you do not need them and have your screens brightness down the lowest possible as that is something that eats up the battery, i do all this and wit this build have had good battery life.

does it take so long to boot? I"m booting 10 min already
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cheesekeeper:
This is a magnificent ROM - as good as having a whole new phone. Major thanks to Sergio and his team for a truly spectacular effort.

However, spent most of this weekend trying to solve high battery drain problems with this ROM. Started everything from scratch, used Panasonic formatter to wipe my SD card, and loaded everything clean. Applied the update to kernel 1.7, but found battery drain on standby to be enormous (~150mA) even after 24 hours and several reboots.

After lots of messing about, including reloading the ROM, I determined that the excessive battery drain is linked to Kernel 1.7 combined with live wallpapers. If I set the wallpaper to something static, battery drain drops to normal (5mA or so). Reenabling the live wallpaper brings drain back to 150mA, with the battery stats showing the wallpaper process using all the power. It's almost as if under 1.7 the phone never fully goes into standby.

Dropping the kernel back to 1.6 also drops the battery drain to normal, even with live wallpaper enabled. The performance under 1.7 is noticeably better, but the battery drain is a killer for me, so I'll be sticking with Kernel 1.6 for the time being. Hope this can be of help to someone else......

have you got HSPL? It would be best to do a Task 29 with appropriate Radio flash and then start on MAGLDR. Also this needs to be asked in the relevant section please.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] masterpier:
Confused

First how big is the file and second tried doing the other ports on the pc and laptop, and had same results. I did download the file numerous times so not sure if file corruption is the problem. Someone from the MAGDLR thread suggested I run HSPL 2.08 again, do you think that's a good idea?

:confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nobnut:
I'm assuming this is your first time flashing (if not, you should know better and should use Search).

Do you have HSPL 2.08 displaying in the Bootloader (tri colour) screen? If not, you will need to flash it first.

It sounds like you followed all of the steps required. I suggest you follow the instructions from the very start in this thread. You will be fine.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] masterpier:
Re: Hspl 2.08

Thanx for the help, but it does show spl 2.08 on the tri-color screen. I will do a task 29 and reflash hspl to see if that helps.

@saigon66: It's clear you're trying to help, but please adhere to the chef's request.

I don't think that the instructions say you should run DAF.exe while being on the Tri-color screen. Have you tried executing it while being on the MAGLDR screen with selecting USB Flasher?

Also, confirm that you have SPL 2.08.HSPL.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mark5:
I am having a small issue - nothing major and solvable, but want to report it to see if others are having it.

If I install both the Facebook account and the Facebook for HTC Sense account and let them both sync contacts, then a lot - not all - but most of my contacts have their leading zero clipped and my country code (44) added. It also switches to American layout - xxx-xxx-xxxx on the dialer.

Naturally this fails to dial as the UK needs either a + in front of the 44 or to use the 0.

No amount of fiddling solves this but if I uninstall Facebook for HTC Sense and watch my Call Log I see it update replacing the 44 with 0 before my eyes.

I remember Motoman and others had to supply a script to run with GScript to correct this in other, earlier ROMs.

As I say, not urgent and solvable by unistalling Facebook for HTC Sense (at least for me) but I report it in case is is a simple tweak in the ROM for a future update.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
Yea I guess it will go like butter after that. :)

I'm the owner of the FAQ post for EnergyROM mate :). I thought of sharing the same idea here, and am also thinking about leaving mine for someone who's already there, as I ditched WM for good.

I'm having the same issue with literally 4 of my contacts .. 20 (Egypt's country code) is also added, but I haven't gave it much attention since they're only four. It will be nice if someone got it worked out though.

BTW, uninstalling Facebook for HTC Sense doesn't solve it for me.

Yes, but is it spl 2.08.0000 or 2.08.hspl which is what it is supposed to be. While you are at it, also ensure that you have the correct radio - 2.08.50.xx or higher 2.xx.50.xx radio.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] BRB2HH:
The Quote is from Post 2715.

The v1.2 is very good. But i feel too that the battery drain is a little bit more than some other builds I tried before sergio's build was released.

I installed the rafpigna kernel 1.7 directly after the rom zip before boot the first time. Everything runs very smooth, but the battery drains fast fro me.

(Wifi off, bt off, autobright off, Data on, sync (google,mail,twitter) on)

I will try to turn sync and data of too, but that's some of the reasons for using this phone.

Did you change back to rafpigna1.6 with a fresh CoreDroidv1.2 flash or install simply the rafpigna1.6.zip in cwm? :confused:

Thank you

Another, slower, but bulletproof solution to this is QuikMarketLinks

Hey my friend :)

Funny you mentioned that, yesterday I stole posts 5 and 6 and Sergio gave 3 and 4 to Doc, so we should have it organized soon :D

It needs to show 2.08.hspl, not 2.08.0000

Yeah I completely agree, in fact, I still have the Energy FAQ in my sig for some reason..

Are you sure you downloaded the rom itself and not one of the extras? Maybe try looking a little closer ;)

Exactly, there's no real solution to poor battery life on HD2, I think it's best for each person to figure out the settings and tools that work best for their daily use. And I believe current widget (although a very nice tool) can sometimes throw people off a bit.

Also, people are always mentioning that they've rebooted 5 times and the batt life is still horrible.. but you also need to let the rom sit and get comfortable as well, and changing the kernal also requires some wait time. I usually don't judge the battery until at least 24hrs have gone by. And my battery is great with core droid.

Just my thoughts.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] TOG565:
I think I have found potential battery drain prob....even though mine has been incredible...I purposely have been trying to mess it up to figure it out.

I have incredible battery life this way....JAT.
