Hey guys, i was using the latest tmobile rom v1.13 with radio 1.12, when i decided to go up to radio 1.13, for the past week i noticed my battery time was a bit lower, about less 2 or 3h or so. Anyone noticed this while upgrading? I guess it's not my battery cause i have a spare one, and the total time with both of them is about the same, 6-7h tops.
Btw, i'm using exactly the same software after the radio upgrade so i'm almost sure it's not some program i've installed...
Thanks and keep up the good work
Just flash it back to 1.12.No new thing was found in Radio 1.13.
That's not what i've read in the forum, and i noticed some better reception and speaker quality... but anyone noticed some battery drain with it?
Because they increased the power level to get a better signal via upgrading Radio.If your signal is ok,I cannot see any need to upgrade.
Guess it was that kuang, i reflashed it with radio 1.12.10 and now i have about 2 or 3h of battery life back, tkx

I'm having a problem with my prophet (iMate JAMin).. i recently upgraded from Wm5 to wm6 using cloudyfa's shadow 2.0 TE
I left my phone for 10 minutes doing nothing.. from 100% the battery shortens upto 5% down..pls help..suggestions..i'd be grateful for someone who can solve this..thanks!
i experienced something..after i removed my phone from the wall charger because its already full charged..it instantly decreased 1% from the battery meter.
can you post here your IPL SPL and RADIO ROM version? this might have to do with your RADIO ROM version coz some RADIO ROMS ate battery power too much sometimes.. i suggest you should use RADIO ROM 2.19 can be found on PROPHET wiki...

I just recently got a HD2 and I flashed it with Energy ROM April 18 23559 With Cookie Tab and Radio 2.08.50.08
I have all the battery settings in Advance config on, all autoupdates are off, and gmail syncing every 10 minutes with autodisconnect in 10 seconds.
The reason I need some help is because my battery is literally going down multiple percentages within 5 minutes using EDGE. Is there any way to fix this? Its been about 2 hours with mainly texting and my battery is at 68 percent.
Edit: Also even when i have no programs running my internet likes to just start running for no reason, is there a program that shows the internet usage?
do you have tried tmous radio rom 2.07 with 576mb enabled? for me it was a huge difference in battery drain compared to 2.08... 2.07 was nearly perfect for me but like on 2.08 i have bad call quality. that's why i'm testing tmous 2.10 since today.
Using Battery Tool, my HD2 on Mango 7720/ISV cleanup regularly charged pretty much 3/4 of total battery charge or in terms of HTC Battery Tool the charges were as follows:
FULL 1230
ACR 935
With that being said I 'd previously run NODO on 2.12 with great reception and the same charging issue. Update to 2.15 with Mango degraded my reception, battery life and preserved the charging issue. Then I started seeing posts claiming that flash to 2.12 in Mango improves the overall experience and one of them literally mentioned the charging issue which allegedly disappeared. Knowing what to expect from 2.12 due to prior NODO experience, I decided to roll it back and see what happens...
First flashed 2.12 over 2.15 with battery approx. quarter down its charge and despite better reception my battery constatly charged only three quarters of total charge. Sooo, after reading couple posts on 2.12 radio, and how the battery charges fully all the way to 100% (using HTC Battery Tool to check this), I finally decided to charge my battery in external charger and than once again reflash 2.12 this time with fully charged battery and...
No more three quarter charge . Will do some repetitive charging to test and confirm but so far it's always charging all the way! .
Hope this helps someone who's suffering the same half ass charging annoyance .
PS: Drawback to this is need for external charger or properly charging phone

Uhm... WP7 might be considering a theoretical maximum, just like android does with it's battery calibration.
Difference is, Android has on-the-go battery index recalibration. If it reaches the theoretical maximum (100%) and the charge is nowhere near 20/10 mAh, it keeps charging and set's the new maximum to the new charge (i belive it has a arbitrary battery units, at least Android on HTC Kaiser does).
What you're saying is, only flash WP7 if you're charge is at, or near 100% on WM6.5/Android Otherwise WP7 will waste battery charge

Even better... In case that your battery does not charge properly there is no need to repeat WP7 install, only reflash your radio .
Yes, you may ask how device radio rom could have any effect on WP7 installation which comes with it's own radio drivers after all, but today I can attest that it does. My phone is regularly charging all the way to 1190 out of 1230 all the time as opposed to post Mango Rom flash value of 935 and all I did was reflashed device radio with fully charged battery .
Appreciate the Android analogy .
PS: I presume that it does not charge full 1230 due to phone not charging in USB flasher mode and during flashing process
Question, on what wp7 phone is our version based ?

I suppose it's HTC HD7 based as far as drivers for individual device components go. After all, people who are getting their new WP7 Roms activated (on HD2) literally tell Microsoft customer service reps that the activation is for HD7...

Have I missed a post somewhere, how are you reflashing only the radio? I have been wanting to change my radio to one better suited to Australia. I was loathe to go through the entire process of WP7 install again, when essentially I have a bug free functioning install.

Hi.
There is no other way then complete WP7 Rom reflash if you'd like to switch actual WP7 radio but hardware level radio driver (OS independent) can be upgraded/degraded without resetting or reflashing your phone . Note, I am talking about radio e.g. 2.12 and more as made available via the link in post #1.
With that being said, if there's any radio on that list that suits you or if you're in possesion of Australia compatible radio then all you have to do turn of your phone, next hold volume down --> power on your device and wait for the rainbow screen to appear (kernel flash interface ). Once your phone is connected to PC, your interface type will change from serial to usb and do your thing as instructed under the radio rom link in post #1. Let us know how do you and if there's anything else that could possibly prove helpful
Regards to Australia
Interesting.....
I was only getting a 75% charge with Mango and 2.15 so i flashed my radio back to 2.12.
After an immediate restart the battery charge graphic then showed 100%. Weird.
As the amber light was on I left the device charging into it changed to green. I then reflashed back to 2.15 and I have been getting a more accurate battery charge graphic ever since.
Ooh and the bonus, my battery is lasting longer between charges. Yey
Are you supposed to charge the device until green before flashing?
How long does your batt. last? On the worst day I had 4 hours batt. time (with BT on and WIFI on).
Today without WIFI and BT on the batt. seems to be lasting something around 15 hours.
I fully charge to green before I do anything nowadays.
I rarely use WIFI but I do have two email accounts set-up which check for mail every 30 minutes. With moderate talk time and two hour train surfing time I'm getting about 20 hours between charges. Which is considerably more than before.
my battery loses 10% on 30 mins, that's so LOL..
I have 7720 with 2.15.. with camera trick..
i'm gonna try the 2.12.. just a question, DO i need to HARD-RESET(by phone7 about screen) after the radio flashing?

Hi...no, do not hard reset your phone at all. Whenever CustomRUU completes the ROM flash procedure, simply close RUU on your computer screen and your phone will restart (you will be exiting the rainbow/kernel USB interface). Mango install will be fully functional just as before you shut it down prior to flashing new radio .
Srry to hear about your battery drain issues...hope this will help to decrease it by a lot.
Let us know
The only solution that worked for me amongst all the options (based on my experience)
1. Tried the camera trick - NOT WORKED
2. Followed the steps below - NOT WORKED
* Boot the phone to MAGLDR
* Select "Reset" option from the menu
* Phone reboots normally
3. Hard reset the phone - NOT WORKED
4. Charge the phone in magldr USB storage option - NOT WORKED
5. Finally, flashed the 2.12 radio, did the camera trick (not sure if its relevant). The battery life has improved dramatically. It lasts more than 24 hours and still running (26% left) - WORKED.

I am using Pdaimatejam 6.5 and the battery drain very fast, using focus+powersaving mode is better but limiting the usage of the phone. Hesitating to try to flash ROM without my battery drian improvement, is there any expereince you guys can share? appreciate the feedback!
Im using 7.1 ,its my First WP7 Rom (coming from android)
I have to say the drainage is extreme.
I started playing fruit ninja at 66% nearly 45 minutes later I am down to 2% is this normal?
It seems that even in standby it looses power very quickly.
thanks, did you try to use the 5.51 version radio? the v7.1 coming with 5.71 radio. and your HD2 is TMobile or HTC version?
did some test by myself yesterday, flash V7.1 with 5.51 radio (instead of out-of-box 5.71), wifi off, data on, gps off, 8.5 hours stand by consume 32% of my battery, and stand by current is around -40mHA.
I am using HTC version HD2
i find that most of the time very high battery usage is down to the battery not being charged, it has a habbit of reporting the wrong level of power, for instance, you think its full, and its only 60%, or it might show 1% and its actually 80% full yet the OS still wants to shut down
my advice is to charge, unplug, charge and restart it a few times

you must use one of this combination for better battery life:
radio's: 2.12/5.51 or 2.15/5.51 + camera trick... i have with 2.15/5.51 30-40 hours i normal use...
in default, Pdaimatejam ROM 8107 v7.1 come with radio 5.71 and with that battery life is 8 hours for me....

thanks for the sharing, I have done my test both V7.1 and Ultraruit as well, same result as you:
1. V7.1 with 5.71 radio, stand by current is ~40mHA, focus trick does not work.
2. Ultrafruit, similar current as v7.1(5.71 radio)
3. V7.1 with 5.51 radio, with data, wifi, gps all off; power saving mode on, with focus trick, the stand by currrent is 7-9mHA.
Just curious what kind of magic those users who having data on with low power consumption..LOL
Dear XDA members,
I've just reinstalled WP7 after Android, but my battery life is very short (approx. 5 hours after full recharge). My procedure:
1. Back to WM6.5
2. Install HSPL 2.08
3. Flash radio 2.15
4. Install MAGLDR
5. Install WP7 (HD2O ROM)
6. Hard reset at '1234...'
Now, when I check Settings > About, my software radio version is 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U. Shouldn't this be 5.51? If so, how can I fix this? And is this the problem regarding my battery life?
Thanks in advance!
read battery tricks in my signature
to install ROM with radio 5.51 use Pdaimatejam ROM or manually replace part00.bin in data.zip file (look first link in my signature)
Thanks for your reply. So I can just download the Pdaimateja rom, extract the radio, put it in the HD2O rom and flash it again?
Also, I've used the HD2O rom before I switched to Android, never had any issue with the battery (it lasted for approx 20/24 hours). How's that possible?
Alright, I've tried to flash the rom again, now with the 5.51 radio extracted from the Pdaimateja rom. When I check Settings > About the radio version is indeed 5.51, but the problem is still there. Battery life seems to be a bit better (approx. 6-10 hours after full charge), but still not what it used to be (approx. 24 hours).
Something I noticed today: when booting to the tri-color screen, on top it says: "PB81*** HX-BC", I can remember this used to be different. Should it be different?
To be clear, I have a (non T-Mobile) European HD2.
did you use camera trick and other battery savings tips?
I've used the camera trick and now using radio 5.51. The weird thing is, I've used the same rom before, back then the battery life was very good (approx. 24 hours), now with the same rom my battery life is much shorter, while I use exactly the same apps and settings. There must be something wrong, maybe I've overlooked something... What about the "PB81*** HX-BC" at the bootloader? Shouldn't this be something like PB81100 HX-BC? I can remember it was like that before, but don't know how it changed.
I'm sorry to bump this thread again, but I'm still curious about this.

nothing changed... yes my device have
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
So there's nothing to worry about? Since every screenshot/video I see of the HD2 shows something like PB81100 HX-BC instead of PB81*** HX-BC.
I switched to Clean ROM - Stock UI, and now my battery life is 1 day and 15 hours after full a full charge. It's a huge difference, so I'm staying with this ROM

i have almost 2 days of battery use (WiFi and data is turned on non stop) with Pdaimatejam ROM and original HD2 battery old 2 years...
very important it is if you know how to use ROM... SDcard maybe also can make difference....
I use the same SD card, and since I'm a student I can't afford to test multiple cards To be honest, I don't like all the extra apps and modifications on the Pdaimatejam rom, so I will keep this rom for now. I noticed battery life decreases a bit after a couple of hours, but it still lasts approx. 20-24 hours, which is good enough since I charge my phone every night.
