*~*~*~*~

I understand your point - however, consider this as well. Several of those posts re:angry birds, etc. are repeat complaints about the person posting (i.e. 1 Q, 5 As - some of which ONLY lambast the poster, rather than either answering, or linking to an answer). Don't pile on. It takes little effort to respond politely.

Also, as I said in my original post - the newest posters won't have benefited from the vehement, "my how stupid you are", posts because they won't have seen them. Adding to the post count which makes it hard to find the nuggets are those that ONLY complain about noobs or what "someone" thinks is a unworthy question or comment.

Thanks!

Battery issues

Actually, I believe over the last several pages of comments that numerous people have pointed out that they are experiencing battery usage issues.

I have experienced very, very erratic battery consumption from 2mA at rest (with all the stuff left on, but no "auto sync") to over 400 with no real heavy duty applications. I've checked the "what is eating my battery" programs and there will be three, maybe four items listed. I previously posted a question about the difference between cell standby and phone idle...(but heard only crickets).

Just now, went to look and it was at 4mA. But, earlier today and yesterday, several times with 60 or 80 mAs. Same circumstances...

I've run checks on my SD card, with no anomalies reported. And, experienced steady low battery usage on earlier versions of this build and other builds. It's perplexing and it's concerning because there is a vast difference between 2-4 and 60 in terms of how long you can rely upon your battery to work. If practical, bump charging is helpful, but not a long term solution.

So, perhaps it's a kernal issue? Warren, kernal-meister, what do you think? Thanks for your thoughts.

This Rom runs great with one huge exception. the data cutouts are horrible. if i'm getting H or E i'm getting internet connection consistently. but in 3G (99% of my connection strength) i'm getting data cutouts about 80-90% of the time, causing me to have to turn data on and off over and over until i get a connection. is this a PPP issue? or is there something wrong with the kernal or rom?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Manners cost nothing. I consider it extremely rude to post in a forum in complete disregard of it's No 1 rule - "Search before you post". The search facility is not perfect, but how much easier would it be to search for "angry birds", if there was one question and one answer? If search isn't available for 30mins, then what is wrong with a bit of patience as getting angry birds to work is hardly life and death. It is also extremely rude to ignore all the hard work that has gone into providing a FAQ.

Fortunately, the last few pages have been a much better example of how contributors can help each other overcome their respective problems.

Ahhh battery drain talk! I lose 17-20% from full charge 10pm-5am as i hit the alarm. Same with the previous build versions. That's what, 7hrs of sleep...

I lose 2% per hour. And thats only using 2g/gsm network. Everything off except for network signal...

Radio is 2.15.50.14. Thoughts?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I lose about 5% in similar circumstances. The network signal will use more power the further you are from the mast, but with everything else off, that should be the only variable. There does not appear to be any consensus on whether the underlying WinMo version has any impact. I'm just fortunate not to be suffering the high battery drain others are reporting and hoping it stays that way :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
Agreed. I even use Rundroid to "prevent" winmo from booting fully...hoping it had any impact to my disappointment. I think it really is the radio or kernel. But the kernels from other builds show the same symptoms. Process of elimination? I may agree. My dream would be to make the batt last for 3 days. Will moving to Nand make a difference? I don't know anymore! Lol!

Data drops issue is really really there.

For me sometimes the H icon even disappears and comes back.

There is no reliable data connection for me in a single hour(drops many times)

For the report, I get the usual responses of read through faqs and all.

On a lighter note, It even appeared to me once that there seems to be an urge building up in others to reply saying "read the faqs first"

Lets hope someone fixes the data drop issue.

I am also in very good 3.5G/H reception.

If someone says they donot have a data drop at all (provided good signal recption),

I ask them to post their HD2 RADIO version and whether it is t-mo branded?

This helps to find a pattern that could be cause of the Data drops.

Another solution would be to correct problems that may exist in PPP
[HD2 Android SD Development] downbc1:
Hi,

If there is NO Service, then phone would be trying to find service and battery drain would be high.

You didn't mention the network preference in your phone.

(you would be knowing this: Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your dialler.

Find the option under "Set preferred network type:"

This option setting may give some hint on whats happening

2) As someone suggested, Try rebooting to WinMobile to see the network signal

Does WinMo show a different network signal?

Well, when you see "No service" and are sure that you should be getting network there,

you could try Airplane mode once(to disable radio) and again enabling Wireless (Radio not WiFi)

This should help to get network signal.

Lets know update/what helped
[HD2 Android SD Development] downbc1:
I dont use monitoring tools (though the system panel app I use has one)

I do face this overnight battery drain.

One thing that surely helped is:

I kill all tasks (using System Panel App) before going to bed and find that battery drain is pretty low

However, I do see some more apps/services that again started running by morning, battery drain was under control though

I would have liked to uninstall Titanium backup app that would be running even when I dont launch it.

I asked for removing this(and provide .apk for install) from next release, didnt hear yet.

I have the 20th built tmobile 2.15 radio. Same problem with data once it drops it doesn't reconnect automatically.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
battery drain.

-turn off radios. at night set quiet time (this kills all your radios from X to x oclock.)

-dont leave on gps despite what you may have read from others

-if you live in a 2g only area, turn on 2G only networks so your device doesnt spend time looking for 3g.

-setcpu to interactive.

-DONT use task killers (they stay running all the time an FK with the auto kill that is natively in android's os.) DUH... why cant some of you get this?

-if you are now into your 2nd year of owning your hd2, its HIGHLY possible your battery is starting to age.... and doesnt perform the way it used to.

-having data enabled all the time drains ur battery fast (so if you leave data on EXPECT this to happen)

-if you own a NON OEM HTC battery (esp one made in china).. dont even bother posting about your battery life

-i have one of those made in china batteries. it lasted about 8 months and now only holds and hour charge

-a buddy has an iphone 3gs and the battery in it lasts only 6 hrs from full charge. another buddy has an iphone 3g and it's battery lasts more then 14 hrs.

go figure... batterys lose their ability to hold charges over time some quicker then others...

factors over the life time of your battery will effect it later on:

-did you run it to 0% all the time, or did you keep it plugged in most of the day

-did you charge via a wall charge or via usb all the time?

-did you let your device get really hot or extreamly cold?

-did you run your rig with 2 batteries and swap them out each day.. etc...

finally. buy a new OEM hd2 battery and fully charge it and post the graph on that..... ;) and show us the bad battery life.

the kernel isnt causing high battery drain. and its not something in the build. trust me (my hd2's battery is only 6mnths old and its FINE. 12.5hrs plus with data ON all the time. moderate use some wifi and texts and heytell messaging.. a bit of web browsing and updates from the market)

I've asked before. if you are going to post ANYTHING to do with your battery life, to please include a screenshot of the graph from settings->about phone->battery use so that we can see graphically whats happening.

data drops

sigh. if you would like to take it upon yourself to help us track down and fix the issues with the ppp implementation on the hd2, please pm us and you can start immediately. but if not, then please refrain from reminding us about something we already know. its so VERY annoying to read about it over and over.

stop bickering. this is a thread of love and peace. this project wasnt started; and is not maintained so that you can have little internet fights with each other. seriously. lol

btw... curling is some great fun ;) dont wait until u get old to try it out (youll thank me)

played 2 games of 4 ends. and won both. mewahahuhuh

to remove titaniun backup..... you just have to remove it?

lol

and make sure you remove it from /android/androidapps/ before you boot the first time or anytime you update your build.

these are pretty simple to do... dont think the build is going to change to accomedate something so easy to do urself.
[HD2 Android SD Development] daniel_kiefer:
I'm pretty sure I have 2.10 radio, stock tmous. Also, my data drops from time to time, but nothing serious like others have mentioned. I stay on WiFi at home, and no major drops when I'm away. I hope this helps people. Regarding power drains. It varies quite a bit, so I don't think it's from any one thing.

[HD2 Android SD Development] profahmad:
Cope, going back to our little experiment with gradient images and my rant about the screen being poor, it turns out it has a lot to do with the nonstandard (180) LCD Density. If you change it back to the default 240 and open Winamp or the XDA-app you'll notice that they don't look half as bad as before (NOW you'll be seeing the true colour limitations of the HD2 screen, which is nothing compared to with an LCD density of 180).

I figured this out by changing the LCD Density on a Desire HD and noticing how the Winamp and XDA-app startup screens looked as bad as on my HD2! It appears any value other than 240 causes this, and returning to 240 on the DHD made the images appear exactly as they ought to.

So our HD2 screens aren't too bad. It's a matter of choosing between proper colour representation and more content fitting onto the screen. Personally a lower LCD Density value ('higher resolution') is worth it.

The LCD Density cause also explains why a screenshot of these images appeared the same when viewed on a PC.

Sent from my HD2
[HD2 Android SD Development] profahmad:
The text of the XDA Dev app's startup screen looks really sharp in comparison when using the default LCD density.

I think it may have been mentioned earlier but using the default LCD density also gets rid of the skyblue background superimposed onto the orange when highlighting menu items.

Battery Drain and Data Drops thoughts

Just some thoughts I had (...by the way, I haven't read through this forum at all before posting this - I admit it...)

BATTERY DRAIN -- Discovering the location of the cel tower (or towers) near where you experience the battery drain could prove useful. I think there is an android app called "Antennaes" that does this? It is good to know if you live where '2 towers fight for supremacy' by being somewhat equal distance, or lets say there are '4 sheetmetal warehouses between you and the tower,' well knowing these things is what you 'just oughtta do.' I live where 2 towers compete for my phone, and when I was on at&t it would cause my q9h to crash. Well, finding out the cause made me to switch to tmobile and save $100 a month. I still live where towers compete, but discovering that the 'network' was the problem saved me time, money, and got me a better carrier (for now). At&t told me my q9h was a bad old phone and I should get an iphone (this q9h is on tmobile now and has uptimes measured 'in weeks.')

DATA DROPS -- I read on some other post that some guy 'refreshed his phones profile with his carrier' and the data drops stopped? Is there something to this? Is it possible that the "HTC HD2" that your carrier sold you is now some 'weird android phone that their network doesn't want to recognize' ? Could data drops be coming from 'your carriers computer' rather than 'the build' ?

Just thoughts I had, hopefully they are helpful thoughts rather than causing people to research in the wrong direction. Cheers all.

Battery Drain

I notice battery drain is much worse if I boot adndroid from windows. If I select the reboot windows and then launch android I get 4mA and 5mA. A certain android launcher gives you the options. A. Launch Android. B. Reboot windows and launch Android. I get bad battery drain if I choose A. Its great with B. Same with a mate who also has HTC HD2 and dual boot.

A solution that worked for DataDrops

Hi,

Following my suspicion that Radios might play a role in data drops and After checking the Radios that dont have data-drop issues,

I downgraded my Radio to 2.10.50.28 and Finally data drops issue seems to be solved.

It did not drop while I used internet in 3-4 long sessions (there were data drops with other Radio 2.14.xx in similar conditions)

The older Radio seems to be more compatible when it comes to data connection.

Looks like if we stay on the stock Radio that came with the HD2, then the data drops issue doesnot occur so much.

You too may want to try flashing 2.10.xx Radio to get this data drop issue fixed.

It appears you have flashed Radio atleast once to get 2.15.xx Radio, so you might be aware of the risks.

Radio flashing, if gone wrong can brick your HD2.

There may be other Radios too that solve this data drops, I verified this one.

In case you also flash Radio 2.10.xx and get your data drop solved, do post it so that others also can now use this solution instead of struggling with data issues.

[HD2 Android SD Development] downbc1:
Generally MMS proxy would be an IP address(otherwise dns/ip lookup may be needed)

Its a bit strange to see MCC change within operators in the same country(just saw MCC changing in APN list for IT, MNC would change but MCC is a bit surprising)

Try to replace MMS proxy with the right IP address, it is quoted in the net for your operator as: 62.13.171.3

Also select MMS APN as the default in the APN list and checkif MMS works.

Alternatively, While it may not sound pleasant, consider talking to your operator/service-provider customer support to get the full settings for MMS.
