Your doing it wrong.

I neglected to view the house before purchasing, after purchasing I realised it wasn't actually a house, but a solid concrete block with the outside appearance of a detatched family home..... bummer..... :D

Seriously though, even without reading reviews and just looking at the specs you could have seen the battery size. I don't think there is a problem with the battery at all. Obviously it's not a phone for the "power user", but I've never failed to get a days usage out of it apart from the first couple of days when the battery was still calibrating.

If you're really not happy with it, get in touch with your network as they should be able to offer you a replacement device (graded) without too much hassle.

Regards.
[Desire HD General] Android_Asim:
seriously, why not make a charging cover or charging case for the DHD? it was done for the iPhone
[Desire HD General] Basil3:
I agree the battery life isn't the best, in fact I started a thread about battery life that can be found in the stickies. The fact of the matter is that if you're not getting a good 4 hours of 'display on' time from a charge, then there is something up with your phone.

If you are able to sit playing on your phone for over 4 hours in a day, then I'd assume you are somewhere near a power socket.
[Desire HD General] ShaunD103:
I want your device if you get a day ! At most I can squeeze a few hours from mine and thats with relatively low usage.

Disabled all notifications and background data, brightness on low and I still need to carry spare batteries :(
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Get a proper custom ROM, mate. That's insane.

I am running ARHD 3.5 at the moment, and my battery lasts easily more than that even when I watch a movie..
[Desire HD General] Android_Asim:
so what is the best custom ROM for the battery usage??? i keep hearing Recommendations about LeeDroid 2.2.1, but what do u recommend? :):):):)
[Desire HD General] Android_Asim:
after sending the complaint about the desire hd battery, i got this reply from HTC:

""Dear Asim Hadi,

Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center.

With regards to your first inquiry,

Please note that your comments and concerns regarding the battery life will be escalated to the concerned department so that this issue would be resolved soonest as possible.""

do you guys think this is going to make any changes???
[Desire HD General] Wekko306:
Not at all I'm afraid. That's a standard reply which doesn't mean anything.
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Leedroid and ARHD are both great.
[Desire HD General] sromer:
i dont know what everyone's complaining about.

I have a stock unlocked, unbranded DHD and my battery life is fine.

Everyday i listen to music for 2+ hours, use 3G for a couple of hours ,play games on the train in the morning/afternoon,check my email, txt a lot of people & call a couple of people.

By the end of the day i'm at 30-40%

For the first couple of weeks i had my DHD the battery life wasn't that good but it improved over time
[Desire HD General] Android_Asim:
thank you

thank you for ur reply, but i would like to squeeze more info out of you :) :) :)

so much longer did installing custom ROM to your HTC Desire HD get for your battery? as in how many more hrs? thanks
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Well I am not really sure, but I get about 5% battery drain in 9 hours, so the battery life is very good now :)
[Desire HD General] istinet:
I don't have any issues with the battery. I charge it daily, but it gets me through the day. My average use is about 1-1.5 hour of talking on the phone, 25+ sms-es, 4 hours of listening to music, around 2 hours of WiFi use and at the end of the day I still have a decent 25%+. Bluetooth, gps always off.
[Desire HD General] MarkieSA:
I'm going to write them a letter telling them how satisfied I am with my phone and the battery. I serious don't know WTF u guys do to your phones or what settings u have that kills the battery so quickly, mine works perfectly.
[Desire HD General] tomcolgan:
How is your screen 20% ? Mine is 76!!
[Desire HD General] Android_Asim:
why would u do that? if they recieve enough complaints about the battery, they might make a new product that will solve our problem, and so we benefit as much as they do. its a Win-Win situation, and you don't lose a thing. ur attitude is very un-welcomed
[Desire HD General] paul c:
C'mon, at bit of realism please. I have had smartphones for about 10 years (starting with the excellent SE P800 :)).

On th especialist fora, there were always posters complaining about this or that. Did the manufacturer ever do anything special? Nooooooo.

And why would they? These terminals are out-of date 9 months after launch, their focus is on new models.

Actually, the only difference between then and now is their ability/willingness to upgrade the OS, which often helps with battery constraints.

But, think about it, how will they produce a mainstream hi-capacity battery for a phone whose battery slot is limited by its very design?? For a small % of the user base, who may feel strongly enough about things, and then consider the $$ are a fair trade-off?
[Desire HD General] reyaga7:
Take Apple for instance, same phone + change its color = version+1! :D

Personally, my battery life is ok. Granted that I do not have my wifi or gps on all the time, I don't have the need to. I guess that's just how the product is. Either we find another way to charge our phones or we simply put up with the "inadequate" battery.
[Desire HD General] irfy:
I'm afraid I am going to have to jump on the battery life band wagon. I have had this phone for over a week now and the battery is literally milking away. Even after turning stuff off and turning things down, the battery just keeps going down. I hope HTC does something about this issue cause the phone itself is just amazing and only thing that is letting me down is the battery.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Sorry it takes at least ten days of use for the battery life to settle and then you need to calibrate it and see how it goes, just over a week isnt really long enoigh
[Desire HD General] audiobookman:
i was in the same boat until i put on leedroid and now i get a full day listening to mp3 (audiobooks) - approx 12hrs worth with around 30% left at the end of the day.

But i also have auto airplane mode app (i work in a no service area so this saves the battery as the phone wont search) and i also have ultimate juice defender which i also think helps no end.

I have the very latest radio and leedroids 2.2.3 kernel.

My average pull on the battery is 50-60mha when listening to mp3, when not around 4-5mha. I can safely get 2days + out of my battery on standby.

BUT thats no excuse from htc, they should have put a bigger battery in or optimised it before public release. Before i rooted i was doing an average of 110mha on standby (stock).

answer is just root and put a much better rom on the phone, i will also hit of an email to htc complaining about the battery (to jump on the band wagon) - who knows they may update the battery cover to accomodate a larger battery, or better still as already mentioned an battery case would be cool with say a 5000mha battery..... hmm probo a good 3rd party add on idea there??

edit, just filled in a complaint on the website as well, the more that do this the more chance we have of getting a result - be it an battery case or a redesigned battery cover. i told them ive been a long term customer and this is by far the worst battery life ive ever had from a htc product (which is true, the g1 would last a few days with no optimisation). if i get a reply i will post it up
[Desire HD General] anaskr:
if only nokia had made this phone wid an android .... gosh i sold my nokia n8 for the desire hd .. and i like android .. though i miss the camera as well as the BATTERY .........
[Desire HD General] Android_Asim:
what is the best custom ROM would u recommend in terms of battery life improvement???
[Desire HD General] NiarkMAN:
CyanogenMod7 is the no sense rom which has the best battery life
[Desire HD General] bigmikehd2:
I don't own a DHD, I own a Hd2 but I feel your pain when it comes to battery. This will not help you with your current phone but it is the future. The company plans on having it in full production by 2012...

http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-03-solar-powered-cell-bye.html
[Desire HD General] bigmikehd2:
Or we could all just hope for something like this...

[Desire HD General] audiobookman:
well got a reply to my suprise but it wasnt helpful, they basically say turn everything off - in other words make our smartphones into dumb phones WTF. and to download apps to make the battery life better (sorry arnt you suppose to implement these sorts of features!!??)

i dont think they will admit that the battery life stinks without some serious modification, shame as the less techy owners will soon give up on the phone and move onto something else.
[Desire HD General] bbackzaa:
Battery is Worst...
[Desire HD General] Android_Asim:
then what is the best SENSE ROM in terms of battery? i really can't live without HTC Sense :)
[Desire HD General] audiobookman:
i find leedroid the best with sense, the battery drain is very low on standby
[Desire HD General] ww2916269:
There is some battery with more than 5800mhA for Galaxy s ,but with a really thick back. However no chance for Desire hd...
[Desire HD General] Android_Asim:
Even when connected on 3G network????
[Desire HD General] mjehan:
Battery drain when on Wifi,3G and using the phone is almost the same on all ROMs. The only difference is the drainage when the phone is idle or display is off.
[Desire HD General] mathrania:
I have sent this letter to HTC MEA, lets see what they will do, but dont have any hopes of support from HTC... had a bad time in dealing with them for my HTC TP2...still bought the DHD without getting thru reviews. though the phone is amazing, and the major issue is battery life, but the main problem every customer would face is going through HTC Customer Care.
[Desire HD General] Tyrian89:
The battery in the n8 is about the same capacity as the dhd's. And Nokia battery life ain't always great. My N900 has about same battery life as my dhd. I think with the n8 its just that symbian has been optimized for battery management.
[Desire HD General] darkmessiah:
I hav sent the same question to HTC India. .

let all the DHD owners start a revolution..

As a temporary relief for the stock rom owners like me try using Juice defender with ultimate juice .. it increases the battery life by say 30% ..
[Desire HD General] MarkieSA:
My attitude of been satisfied with my DHD is not welcome here ?? Dude WTF !! :mad:
[Desire HD General] stezo2k:
I've managed to get up to 3 days battery on mine by switching off 3g and only switching on sync, mobile data and wifi only when i need them

Obviously if I do anything intense it will drain my battery a lot more. GPS is an absolute killer

It's the cyan colored 'nexus' wallpaper. I can't seem to find it anywhere

thanks
[Captivate General] axis01:
Have you tried looking in the Market?
[Captivate General] bobapunk:
I have the Gingerbread Live Wall Paper on my Captivate.

I took the APK out of MobileTechVideo's Gingerbread Theme ZIP and dropped it on my phone's interal SD.

Then the Wall Paper is selectable via the normal wall paper selection process.
[Captivate General] moorent:
Yes. There are a few options that would allow me to configure the original nexus wallpaper to resemble the cyanogen themed one but I haven't been able to replicate the look exactly.
[Captivate General] moorent:
aha! That's it, thanks.
[HD7 General] Iridox:
Does anyone have some major data speed issues with this phone?

I live in Boston and most days I can't get higher than 0.05-0.1 Mbp/s download... sometimes it'll kick up to 1.5 or 2Mbp/s, which is still significantly lower than T-Mobile's theoretical HSPA+ speeds.

I just don't get it. I've had the phone swapped, new SIM card, factory reset. Cannot figure it out. My roommate has a G2 and his phone works fine, could it be that WP7 has a poor wireless stack or something?
[HD7 General] circleofomega:
I live in India and here its because of poor data connections that the speed fluctuates...but that said, in one particular place the connection is pretty fast...i was on Vodafone website and I checked if the phone is 3G enabled..it is but they had a small footnote about the speed...if u can, go to the Vodafone India website, select your state as Mumbai and check for device compatibility, u might find something worthwhile...hope that helped...
[HD7 General] NinaMyers_TW:
how do you check your data speed?
[HD7 General] Iridox:
I usually use 2 speed tests, DSLReport's one and the Bandwidth app.

You can tell it's going really slow though because it takes 15-20 seconds to load Google occasionally.

Oddly enough, I've disabled 3G before and the EDGE data was actually faster. Scary.
[Xoom General] ftgg99:
Ive used the update for a bit now, and can offer a few thoughts!

Moto was pretty vague on the update details, and the patch is only 15 mb so i didnt think it would do much - but there have defo been improvements and surprises.

I flashed rooted and came back to a desktop with all my apps and their caches intact. Superuser still there. For another thing both the add ui and app drawer are a lot smoother now, though the latter is still painful to watch.

The bug that would sometimes cause a blank settings screen also seems gone.

Id say the changes to the tegra drivers and the pain-free way they are applied even on rooted devices is something of a triumph for those stodgy moto legal hawks.

Maybe theyll make a comeback in my eves yet :)
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Have you tried anything that requires root? Just because SuperUser is still there doesn't mean you're still rooted. I had to pass the command 'adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su' from my PC.
[Xoom General] twinkyz1979:
I also lost root and had to chmod but i also lost wifi since i was over clocked and had to re-flash the kernel as well.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Weird, I didn't lose WiFi at all, though I did update the kernel later to Tiamat's 1.1.0(was on 1.0).
[Xoom General] gweedo767:
Can you post the update.zip?
[Xoom General] ftgg99:
I have retained all root functions, yes.

here is the update:

MEDIAFIRE LINK
[HD7 General] ClashOfThe:
I installed the nodo update last night and set it up with the same email/live id that i'd used on the original rom.

i plugged it into my pc expecting it to resync all my music, movies and photos along with my apps but it hasn't.

Any ideas what i've done wrong or any ideas what i could do to get the stuff to sync?

would be a right pain in the arse to have to manually choose everything again.
[HD7 General] tfn:
You have the official NODO update ? If so could you share on which network and country you are.....

Regarding your sync are you signed in Zune or check your phone and Zune settings may be they might have changed to default after the update
[HD7 General] ClashOfThe:
it's the htc europe nodo update from the development and hacking forum.

i'm running it on an o2 uk hd7
[HD7 General] circleofomega:
If I were you, I would check before updating. Check once again what is the country of your device, ur live id and your Zune software....most importantly, your device's country in your case..try it and let us know...
[HD7 General] tempest2112:
Running this rom myself on an O2 HD7. No probs with the intial set up and sync with Zune was ok. The onluy thing I did with that was delete the old phone and than add in the newly flashed one and set my sync settings to what I wanted, the default seems to be "items I choose" so unless you manually choose evry item you won't get anything.

Hope this helps.
[HD7 General] ClashOfThe:
I think you're right.

I manually synced all the stuff over when on the o2 rom and i'm guessing it doesn't save a database of what you've synced.

If this is the case i'm not overly impressed. I would have expected to be able to update a rom and then resync the music, videos, photos, apps and email accounts etc i had setup before.
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
You can't sync data by plugging into the PC, it syncs data over the air. Only media/apps sync by plugging into Zune.
[HD7 General] ClashOfThe:
and it's not doing that.

all my downloaded apps show up in zune but it doesn't sync them accross. i have to redownload them. i don't get recharged but it's a bit monotonous having to download each one seperately again.

all my music is on my pc and it hasn't remembered what i synced before.
[HD7 General] ScubaDog2008:
Sync is unstable post-NoDo

Either it's something that happened during my update or something about the Samsung w/microSDHC card, but everytime I try to sync up all my music I can only get a few files at a time before I get a C00D124D error telling me it can't connect. I can disconnect the USB cable and reattach and it will pull a few more files before coming up with the erro. Thoughts?
[HD7 General] raymondhthomas:
Having the same problem as ScubaDog2008

I'm having the same issue. I tried forgetting the phone from zune and then restoring the partnership but it didn't work. I'm going to try to erase all content and then maybe hard reset.
[HD7 General] awesomeplant:
Same here. Samsung Focus + NoDo. Using a MicroSDHC card as well.
[HD7 General] awesomeplant:
<accidental double-post>
[HD7 General] slipjig:
I'm having the same issue with my Samsung Focus after applying the February and March 2001 updates. I've done a couple of hard resets (reformats), and applied the registry fix here, to no avail. I have a Kingston 32GB class 4 SDHC card. It syncs fine up to about 9-10 GB, then starts failing with the symptoms described above. The phone shows the correct amount of memory available, and the card worked fine before the update, so I doubt it's the card itself.

S90scheduler

S99finish

these two files seem to be created a lot and usually contain the same thing S_volt_scheduler does (voltage control) but im not sure that they are being created by voltage control. it seems this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11461171&postcount=1111 indicates that their S99finish file was causing issues with a *.id file (clearly unrelated to voltage control)

my current setup is in my sig, dont know if any of these would cause this issue

so my question is, are these kinda like temporary files that just arent being deleted (since they seem to be clones of other files)? or are they actually important? and does anyone know what could be causing them to be created?

p.s. they are not always there, it seems something triggers them being created but im not sure what, maybe flashing a new kernel, maybe clearing dalvik cache, i havent been able to narrow it down, but they show up once in a while and it bugs me

If you don't already know, the unlocked Bell HD7's 3G bands are the needed bands required for AT&T (850,1900). I received my unlocked Bell HD7 from Negri Electronics today and I was super excited to get it going on AT&T here in The States but ran into a very weird problem...

Basically, I can't connect to 3G/HSDPA/EDGE internet. Now, the weird thing is that it SHOWS I'm using AT&T and that indeed I am on HSDPA :confused: (see pics below). Calling and messaging work fine BTW. If I want to do anything requiring data, the 3G/HSDPA/EDGE connection won't work and I'm forced to use wifi.

I'm tired of hard-reseting and flipping switches on and off... I just hard-reset the bastard one last time and now I wait for your advise. What do I do? Thanks in advance :)
