For those complaining of high battery drain

1 - Do not blame the build. The silent majority using this ROM have no battery issues.

2 - Allow 2-3 complete charging cycles before making any comparison.

3 - If then you have high battery drain, use Current Widget to identify the problem. Only then post your findings, as it may be of great help to others.

4 - Don't complain about losing 10% on wake up. The charger is programmed this way. Once it reaches 100%, it will drain back to 90% before resuming charge. A sure way to kill a battery in double quick time is to keep it charged at 100%. This is why you have a green light between 90% and 100%.

5 - Don't try and compare your battery life to others as everyone uses their phone in different ways. Poor signals can dramatically increase battery use (especially 3G). 24 hours between charges must be considered excellent. Those who claim 3 days or more must be using their phone as a paperweight and those who cannot acheive 24hrs are happily using it to the max and charging accordingly.

Tips to extend battery life

Search and read the thread. There has been a lot of good advice here.

My personal strategy is to turn off what is not needed while on standby and at night. In addition to the settings options - Wifi off on standby and quiet mode at night, I use Llama to schedule settings, so that Wifi, GPS, Data, BT are turned off at night and Wifi off when I leave home. Toggle 2G is a great little app, which ensures that you use only 2G in standby. I have a marginal 3G signal most of the time, so this is probably making a considerable current saving in my case.

Thanx it works great and i like the fact that when you dial an number it gives you suggestion's for contact's. The only problem it doesn't look as great as the stock dialer.

Tasted the HW button again and now in work's in both dialers. Beats me what a changed and why it's working properly now.

About the battery drain.

A used 3% in 6 hours and 40 minutes (during my sleep). the electric currents (mA) stays during the night around 5mA. This is with WIFI, DATA and Sync disabled and GPS Enabled. Without a live wallpaper and only the fancy widget clock turned on.

To night I'm going to test it with all connections enabled en a live wallpaper turned on.

thnx for the reply's and the help. Keep up the good work.:D

SIM lock coming up.

Using the 20 March build I have periodically been experiencing prompts to unlock my SIM. I guess that this may be something to do with the data drop issue.

Reverted to 14 March and all is well.

game

very fast, congratulations!

my problem is some game. I can install them all, but when I start a game, 'an unexpected application termination' and not start.

I am going with this:

-Angry bird

-Angry bird season

-Airattack

-Tilestorm

-Skyforce

-Guerrillabob

what is the problem?

I moved the installation on the phone and now it works!

when sending files via bluetooth, if all images are ok, if applications (. apk) sending fails, 'Phone does not have this type of file'. solutions?

I have to rename the application as a .txt, and rename it after sending .apk

the Automatic luminosity function does not work well.

thanks.

As a regular user like the others that using this build, i have no battery drain problem.

I tested using MAR14 build, no live wallpaper, no radio on except for phone, wifi BT GPS r off, 7-8 calls (1-2 mins each), 10++ SMS (incoming n outgoing), no games, no music / vids, for 48 hours i still got 39% of the batt.

I think the build is just the same for batt thingy between MAR14 n MAR20.

So i believe the build basically is battey friendly :D

thanks to cope n warren for the amazing AMA :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
I had very high battery drain similar to what many users have stated. I experimented with a different kernel and ended up with batt drain of 7-11 mA usage on standby with all common services on. I brought up this issue a few pages back and pleaded with Warren to tweak his kernel for better battery management. I am 100% sure that the high battery drain experienced by some users of this rom are caused by the default kernel :cool: No offense meant just my honest experience and opinion....

March 19th build was quick to resume from standby.

March 20th binary has stability issues.

Especially the Non-tmobile binary!

The release notes say that voicesearch is a difference between march 20 and 19.

But my tmo brandedHD2 in india did not come back from standy, when I used non-tmobile binary.

Do others also find stability issue(coming out of standby) with march 20 release?

data relocation

Same issue here, did not notice it before as I did not install my games during the time I was on the 2 GB SD...

My games save data at Android/data and after every reboot I have to move the app back and forth and redownload the data and I loose all my progress, really annoying...

Since it is really very unrealistic that any of the programmers will change such a behaviour (btw, maps also stores stuff at Android/data...), please remove this tidy up feature in the future.

Thx!

[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
Well I might be a bit lazy and stupid ;-)

But I did a reboot ;-)

But I found he issue on my own...

The reboot seemed not to have done a real reboot o.O

I clicked on reboot and left my phone for a walk to the toilet. when I went back I was asked to enter my PIN.

Now I did change Batteries (so had to do a real shut down) and it works.

Don't ask me why but it seems a seighter my phone messed up with the reboot once or reboot is not really a reboot

Man ... there is WHOLE sectiona about this ...

I want a bigger icons/fonts/screen issue

Symptoms : Your fonts/icons seems so small and you miss 3 different FAQ, readme in Cope’s build and HAD to ask on forum.

Solution 1 :Just buy an IPad

Solution 2 :In Android directory you may find a special directory “240buildprop” which contains prepared build.prop - file that changes DPI on your screen. If you want to use it put it in directories as shown below (you may have to create them first).

On your PC (X - card reader drive letter)

It replaces on your phone

X:\Android\root\system\build.prop

/system/build.prop

[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
not sure what you want, but try to keep the screen from turning off. It is called power management, Android will turn off Wifi in sleep. Even if the wifi logo is still there, it doesn't mean that it actually is connected. You're lucky that apps cannot be larger than 25mb, so no problem in redownloading :)

Have you tried reading the FAQ posted in the beginning of the thread? I think it has instructions for tethering.

WarCope mentioned this subject multiple times in this thread. If you want to get a good idea on the Data situation, I suggest you search this thread to get up to date. Cliff's Notes: They are working on it and only a vocal, niche group of people have Data issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] downbc1:
There are serious Data drops in both march 19th and 20th releases

The data drops many many times in an hour.

The drop frequency is much higher when compared with previous releases.

I have almost full 3G signal always when the data drops.

IT sometimes reconnects data after few minutes after drop.

Even though the H icon will be present, data wont be available during this drop.

looks like Ppp issues.

Is a fix for this ppp possible

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
disagree. data drops are present but not frequent enough to call them "serious". As stated many many many many many many many many times throughout this builds development, we've fixed ppp data up better then it has ever been before.... (and... if you think you can make ppp data behave better then it is.. please be our guest ;) )

if you are having 'serious' problems, I suggest you double check your apn settings, cause if they are incorrect, this could cause you serious data drops.

The H icon even disappears sometimes and comes back after on its own.

I am in area of good 3.5G signal and 2g to/from 3g switch is rare.

I am using the same and correct apn that I use in winmobile.

I know what I am doing with APN/data settings.

I thought I could use android itself instead of WinMobile 6.5.

Stable data would have made it very good.

Lets see if it gets better in coming releases.

Report on battery life. Take this with a grain of salt since I'm still on March 14th. I actually paid attention to what was on. I went to bed at 2am with Battery fully charged. I woke up at 8am and the battery was at 96%. I left on Data, Wifi, and Auto Sync.

Browsing the internet drains it pretty easily. I am starting to think more so than watching movies on QQ player.

I doubt I'll upgrade until Warren finishes up the new kernel. When that happens, I'm doing a clean install and only importing my contacts and sms data. The rest I'm redoing from scratch. =)

I have no problems with 20 build
[HD2 Android SD Development] downbc1:
I did not had reboot issue, but hd2 did not wakeup/resume from Standby.

Then I switched to a tmobile binary (from non-tmobile binary), mine is a tmo hd2 being used outside its service area.

This binary seems ok.

March 19 release looks quicker to resume from standby though.

I too have data drops at the moment, dontknow of a good solution.

Whether it's WiFi or 3G/2G, browsing will be a huge drain. The biggest drain on the battery is having the screen on and the second biggest the radio...
[HD2 Android SD Development] evo1rs:
Ok, open toporesize, don't check the 'resize only' box, click 'find file' radio button and choose data.img, move slider to 2048mb max, click 'resize file' button, confirm 'found errors' message.

It should now work fine.

If not I'm not sure what to do, it worked for me.

A little more information about battery drain.

I have the latest build 03/20....

Well first I need to replace my battery as it's 1 year old already, I'm ordering one soon.

I put the phone in airplane mode last night and it didn't drop a single percent by the next morning. So that means that this build goes to sleep the way it's supposed to.

It does seem like the radio really does drain the battery even if the phone is sleeping.

I've had this problem a lot, where the battery would get drained really quickly and the phone was sleeping, with wifi off and everything.

Also turning on synchronization really takes a big toll on the battery.

I'm not sure if it's because my battery is old, or it's due to Android 2.3 or something else....

They cannot. Unless HTC releases a Gingerbread Sense ROM you have to stick to a Froyo ROM with HTC Sense or winmo.

Just to add my experience: I also wanted this feature because i have Internet at work (not with wifi) and when I connect my HTC on my PC, I would to like to use that connection. I don't need this feature at home because I have access to Internet via Wifi so I can directly connect my HTC via Wifi.

Not sure to be clear!

Maybe Google did that on purpose.

Like you can't send certain file types via e-mail unless you rename them or put them in a zip package.

They are trying to protect you from installing malicious executable files.

Check if you have "unknown sources" allowed in settings->applications.

Maybe it helps, maybe not.

A lot more convenient than having a cable attached to a mobile device, locking you into place, right?
[HD2 Android SD Development] happyfree:
I just said that I find this feature interesting!

Do you think that request is totally stupid? Did I say that Android sucks?

What I can say is that since I came across this forum, I've never come back to Windows Mobile! Even with some known issues, it's far better than WM.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I don't think the request is stupid.

There is a market for everything. Like the coffee making capability. It just seems Google doesn't see the market in this case as big enough to go through the trouble to include it or they have other reasons not to do it. HTC seems to think otherwise and they put that feature in their sense ROMs.

I guess I am on Googles side on this one. How many people need that feature? It kind of defyes the purpose of a mobile phone that, as its name suggests, is made for mobile use, which can't be achieved with a cable connected. They have more pressing issues to attend to then something that would be used by one in 10.000 or less users.

If you want it, or need it you could write an app that adds that feature to non sense ROMs, pay someone to do it for you if you can't do it yourself, wait for someone to do it, use a sense ROM if you can live with froyo, wait for htc to finish porting sense to gingerbread or try a workaround like using a wifi dongle on your work pc to connect it to your phone.

It is not just a niche group of people with problems, it is a known issue that everyone has. I'm not sure if they are still working on it, I thought they were focussing on avcrp now. It seems like their attitude now is that the data drops are better than they used to be so deal with it
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
There isn't too much difference, not obviously. They look pretty much the same but there have been a lot of changes under the hood.
