my Diamond Battery Lasts ,with A Normal Use,for Less Than A Day,no Abuse Just The Regular Stuff,calls, Some Teeter & That's All,my QuestioN Is,is That Normal Or My Phone Is Messed Up?
This doesnt have anything to do with Themes, Applications and Software does it? You will get more luck if you post this in the main Diamond General Forum. * MOD can you move?
There have been quite a few posts about this in there.
There are also alot of tweaks that you can enable to increase your battery life and also alot of people were saying that when they first got their Diamonds they had pretty pants battery life, but after charging it fully a few days later they had a pretty good life out of the battery, At least a day.
Im used to charging my battery every day, ive always done this, and thats just how long my battery lasts for. I play a few games, read emails, constantly get texts and prob take a few pics, and put wifi on for a while to.
Try looking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398265 - List of diamond tweaks
or here this guys info is pretty useful to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411479
Also try this software called Advanced Config, its pretty useful, but always read the post relating to the software your installing. You have to be careful when tweaking your phone as certain tweaks have certain problems.

Hope this helps
yes it's normal. unfortunately this is a little problem for the diamond that have a battery of only 900mah. But it was make a battery of 1340mah. You can buy that battery with a cover becauese is increased the thickness
Sorry for my bad english i hope you will understand me
Also after syncing e-mail with Outlook, make sure activesync is fully closed.
When it is still running it brings my standby time down from a couple of days to 5-6 hours.
Calling mods moving service ? -->to be integrated with a ba-zillion similar remarks.
Hope the OP at least sends a thank-you to the UK chap heaving responded on his call for salvation.
2 things you should try once:
- Use normal font

That Normal
I use a free application "batti" - a battery bar to keep an constant eye on the battery level

I'm wondering if that cover would fit on my telus diamond with the flat back? does it just click off upwards?
There are other threads already on the following app but some of you may not realise what it does if you were to read the subject line title.
There is an app which can underclock the cpu of the HD while it is on idle and suspend modes.
I have tested it on my HD and it works brilliantly.
Please visit this thread to read up on it more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507301
Install only version 1.0 if you have a HD and not the higher versions.
Have you had any problems with locking up or anything?
What happens if you set the backlight off to say 20mHz but have music playing, will it affect the performance?
Touch wood I have not had any lockups yet. Just tested playing music with backlight at 20mhz and no performance issues.
I'm trying this application...
And I'll tell you the result in few days.
Great.
For the record, I have got 2 days out of my phone so far with this app. Before using it my phone lasted about 12 hours.
Looks like good stuff...I'll check it out & report back.
the developer seemed to have disappeared... 1.2 is said to have problems with HD... there are random screen corruption reported too.. thats why i am hoping that 1.3 comes up first
leobox1, try the older version 1.0. I have and it works very well.
installed and will report later.
BTW, can you go as low as possible on the clock speeds for suspend and backlight off?
Thx for the link, i will test it!
This doesnt seem to work on my install of Miri 6.5 V10. I tried V1.0 first and the reported proc speed was always 528 on V1.0. I then uninstalled 1.0 and installed v1.2 just to see and the proggy always reported 528 @ 1.325v. Anyone else get it to work? I may have to go back to a 6.1 rom if not cuz I really would like to have this. Thanx for any info.
Daz
erm..strange question, but where does it install to?
I tried installing version 1.0 on my HD, it told me of no errors, but i cant seem to find it anywhere, not under programs, not with the file explorer..
It says its installed when I check installed software, but I dont know how to execute it..^^
I use Wm 6.5 miri's Rom V10.00. I installed the 1.0 version, but i can't see it on my start menu or anywhere else. i did restart , but nothing happens
Once installed you'll find it under settings, system, processors. You may need to restart.
will try that, thank you very much ;-)

I've put on the same settings than the screenshot on the first page.
NB : 3 % for 6 hours on " suspend " then
8 % for surfing 20 minutes (on XDA-dev )
Could someone give the correct voltages to not damage the blackstone ?
(and Tha it can start nevertheless).
I tried version 1.0 and it made my battery life even worse. The other thing that is bad was the battery indicator would change by 5% increments. Last night i was 99% battery, 7 hours later on suspend it was still on 99%, so i'm thinking 'wow'. When i wake up and actually use the phone, not even heavy. 6 hours later it's on 60% with minor use.
I uninstalled it and now my battery is going down in 1% increments.
Bad program.
use the new version 1.3, it works now really flawless and I had over 8 hours suspend only 1% battery draining.
Hi Friends,
I'm a long time reader of these boards, but I don't post too much, because I don't have the knowledge to share cause unfortunately I don't have the time to invest on cooking ROMs, but I'm pretty curious about It and I've been reading about It.
First and Foremost I would like to Thank Daniel for Cooking the amazing Onyx Roms, which is what I use now on my ELFin.
I'm using Onyx 5.0.1 cause the Betas 48 and 49 don't look fine to me.... since Beta 48 the "+" buttons are bigger. I know It's for for Finger Friendly thing, but the rest of the Windows 6.5 UI still doesnt match this change and Beta 49's WM Build has a weird Bug with the Battery Display on the Today Screen where U have to double click the Clock to see the Battery again, so I stick with 5.0.1.
But aside these details, the main purpose of this post is another thing...
With Onyx 5.0.1/WinMo 6.5, I changed the way I use the phone... now I have an Unlimited Internet Plan from my Operator and I'm now Syncing all the stuff with my company's Exchange Server... that beign said I have no comparison in the past case about Battery consumption, and I really wouldn't like to Flash back to 6.1 or 6.0 and have to reconfigure everything(It's a damn lot to reconfigure). So I'm asking you guys how well are your phones doing with WnMo6.5 against mine.
Here's my Daily Usage Profile:
- I hear around 3 Hours of MP3 Daily during the Home->Work->Home Tragetory using a Bluetooth Phone.
- I Sync E-Mails from the company "as arrive" on ActiveSync during business hours
- I barely talk on the phone... really... almost NEVER.
- I Send around 200 SMS/month
At 8:00AM my Battery is at 100%... at 10:00AM It's already 86%... by the end of afternoon It's around 15%... I have to Recharge the battery every night. Does this seem pretty bad battery life for U guys? How are your Battery usage?
Ah! BTW I'm using Radio 3.34.90 and Flashed HSPL 3.10 into my Phone. ROM Version is Onyx 5.0.1.
Thanks to Everyone, specially DSIXDA for cooking the Onyx ROMs and the other Cooks putting their efforts into keeping the ELF Generation alive!
using bluetooth to hear MP3 for 2 hours really sucks up the battery compared to a wired heads ones I can say it is a good ROM you have there... try using a wired headset to hear your MP3 and you can see a big difference on your battery life
Yeah thanks for the tip... I now Turn off Bluetooth as soon as I stop playing MP3 (the Wired USB Phones from HTC are horrible compared to the Motorola S9), so I'm stick with this while Turning Off BT when not used.
I also enabled all the Power Save options on the Advanced Config Tool and darkened the Backlight a bit while using the Battery.
If U can think of anything else that could increase Battery Life, let me know.
Hello..I am an overall very excited HTC HD2 user but i am having huge battery problems which is why i am asking for your insights In general if phone is idle it can go as far as 35 hours straight without any charging.But when i start playing around with it, browse menus , look through settings,launch apps e.t.c the battery drains like mad..sometimes even 3% in 10 minutes..
i do not know what could be the cause of this in particular since listening to mp3, watching movies does not chalk down too much power,i can even say i was slightly happy in that area(consumption and quality wise)..
so far i have done the below..
-hard reseted
-got a brilliant new mmc (transcend 8gb class 6 FTW )
-flight mode only during nights
-bsb tweaks
-some of the tweaks mentioned in the registry tweak for battery thread (not mmc ones, read alot about data corruption risks)
-tested battery (output voltage and mah are fine and it only gets warm after 3 hours of constant ndrive use-which is normal)
-i never installed anywhere else besides phone memory(apps/games)
-virus free
-i have no data plan so 3g/hsdpa access is not a possibility(also deactivated all connections from NoData app)
-disabled all auto update app functions(weather,footprints, my location ,time e.t.c)
the only possible deal i can figure out its to blame is the radio rom..
As i said earlier i am very interested in hearing your thoughts,comments,suggestions on my issue..Thanks for hearing me out
specs
manila : 2.5.19211619
Rom : 1.66.482.1 (gr) - official
radio rom : 2.06.51.07
do you use msn live?
i have the SAME EXACT problem, i do NOT have any apps running, i always use cleanram, every apps always get terminated.
as soon as i TOUCH my phone, the battery drains, this battery is rediculous, i have BsB tweaks with powersaving, i dont beleive how you guys get a full day out of this crappy battery when mine doesnt last 10 hours with just texing/and web browsing. im on my third battery replacement, i conditioned my battery three times and STILL the same problem, i feel like braking this phone in half, im using my blackberry bold 9700 now which lasts me 3 days with FULL usage ALL day, my hd2 is about to see the hammer soon
try flashing it to another rom
I stepped from stock rom to artemis and I use my HD2 often but with the stock rom i didn't even came to the middle of the day but with that artemis rom i can get till next day morning without charging plus it's very stable and i almost never do a soft reset and i use this artemis rom about a month now and i didn't even do a hard reset after flashing
sorry for my english hope you understand me
My HD2 will last 2 days constant usage. This includes web surfing and emails being pulled down all day via exchange.
The battery goes down quick to about 30% and will stay around there for ages.

I hear good things about artemis as well but i am afraid i am not up to the flashing challenge..too much of a chicken to play russian rulette worth 680 euros :3 (in case i break something)
just for a test select sign in with a different account so it wipes your details amd reset, use your phone normally and dont use live see how that gets on.
I had my phone running for 2 - 3 days of medium use. as soon as i signed up for live it was lasting less that a day even if i used task manager. I then wiped my details then it was back to normal again.

With Artemis you can hardly go wrong. It does not flash your radio only the OS part, you do not have to use HSPL but SSPL which is far easier to perform. It's all explained on the Artemis thread itself: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612580
regards, Kuzibri
BTW, if anything should go wrong, almost impossible with Artemis ROM's, then you can always flash back one of the original stock ROM.s from HTC itself (1.66 or 1.72)

hmmm...this is actually interesting...the artemis post seems to be fairly close to stock rom...BUT..if i backup all stuff i got now, will the usual apps (spb backup e.t.c) store everything?like e.g pc imaging apps(acronis true image , paragon drive backup) ? and if they do...and something goes wrong i can restore from pc even if hd2 becomes unbootable?
i really wish there was something simpler than me meddling with flashing :S im more into-system knowledge oriented guy :S

I understand your "reluctance" to flash a new ROM, but to be honest if you go wrong with flashing Artemis Rom, you will probably never will be ready/equippped to flash a new ROM. Flashing a Artemis ROM is as easy as it can be!

^_^ i turned down the backlight to 20% and noticed an improvement in battery life.

mine is set to 30% and with auto backlight off..its the ideal for my taste actually, even for the sunniest mornings
The WLmessenger change did not bear any fruits..i squeezed out all its batt to just see any time difference but nada..
Oh well, i might probably have to get over myself and start the flashing frenzy(i hear its quite addicting )
Byt the by , there is supposed to be a WWE version of 1.7.x this month i believe..maybe i will start with that and if it gets me nowhere Artemis here i come!
i'm just waiting for a 1500 capacity battery... which is all i need...
running full power and and heavy use... i manage to make it home to charge... but still... i would much rather have a bigger battery to avoid some worrying...
1500 would be soo perfect.. that accessory alone would add an extra 3-4 hours of life on my phone.. which would be more then enough...

Hopefully it comes out soon, but I'm tempted to try Artemis at the moment.
By the way i have 1 weird question about all those ROMs..Are they created from scratch from their makers or are they just modified/edited/tweaked versions of the original OS (ROM) that shipped with the phone?
I ordered a battery bundle with a wall charger, 2X1200mh batteries and a Mirco USB wire for $14 bucks. This is my first full smartphone so its hard for me to get used to the battery life.
I turned off all communications to flight mode. Yet my HD2 battery power keeps dropping fast. I dont have this problem with all my previous windows phone. Whats wrong? I'm using factory rom

yea the hd2's minimal battery life is something that i never had to deal with before also... (i've owned other smartphones but usually could last 2-3 days with moderate to heavy use...) but then again.. i never had a smartphone like the hd2 before
regardless... i'm not sure if i'd be willing to carry 2 batteries around with me... granted i could just leave it in my car until its needed.. but i guess i just consider it a extra thing to remember before i go inside my house/ an extra step to complete before i sleep... would much rather have just one 1500mh
Battery Drain
Do you guys experiencing battery drain have Co0kies Home Tab installed?
There is a known battery drain issue with CHT if .NET version 3.5.9198.0 is not installed. The battery drain will disappear when 3.5.9198.0 replaces .Net 3.5.7xxx.
Don't forget to update the registry to activate the new version and deactivate version 2 or earlier version of 3.5!
Co0kieMonster said:
Some users have had trouble with the battery drain.
I've now added this solution to the first post.
About battery drain:
There is an incompatibility with older versions of the .Net framework that can cause the battery to drain too quickly.
If you have this issue download the latest .Net version from here and install it on your device.
Even if you don't have the issue, it's always good to have the latest .Net version installed.
Big thanks to mike2nl for providing this solution, and to MichelDiamond for tracking the issue while I was away.

hi there,
I got a nasty little problem that makes my mobile immobile.
in one night my batterie goes from full to empty. but this is only when I use custom roms.
stock rom if working nice with batterie, only really slow.
tried artemis v22 and v23 and clean ex dse v15 all with this problem.
tried a lot of different radios, other versions of hspl. all doesn't make any different.
problem its also there if I don't install any thing other than default stuff what is cooked in rom.
the phone also stays quit warm at the bottom half off the phone.
what can I do to make this drain stop?
how can I find out what is causing the drain?
thanks in advance,
hellstorm666
Try the phone without the microsd and see if it still drains.
If so, the microsd might have a faulty file system and might need a reformat.
removing the sd card did the trick.
now what to do to get the sd working without batterie drain?
change your sd card, it's defective.
can't be.with stock rom there is no batterie drain.

With the stock rom, I doubt there are as many apps that access the SD card ...
Apps that you install to the SD card make a diff too , if it is an app that runs alot , it will increase battery drain ...
But for you it might not be that, but it is not impossible ....
Format your card using the phone's utility and see if this helps. If you bought your card from ebay then it might be time to go to a proper seller and pay for what you get.
"I got a nasty little problem that makes my mobile immobile.

U mean;
use "custom roms" => battery consume fast but program run fast.
use "stock rom" => battery consume normal but program run slow.
I'm not expert in phone...but I know just like u over clock the PC ...
=>if u over clock the PC ..it run fast, CPU hotter, consume more electric ... look like the custom rom u using might consist of over clocking the phone... processor ..
=>am I right ...

it is a bright idea, but no. I use artemis and clean ex. but now with sd removed batterie is normal.
sd was bought at a proper shop and did a format with the phone.
now will try a format with pc to default settings as it was before.
so I formatted the sd card. no success, still massive batterie drain.
now using a second sd card too see if it makes any difference
well nice is this. other sd card is coding massive drain also.
so again a fault in the phone.
Hey I had a diamond before and now have HD2... and I tried quite a few roms. To me, I think it really depends on the settings of most of the main applications. Anyway, just recently i was a bit annoyed too that the Leo battery wasnt lasting at least a couple of days.
and I can certainly advise this:
I set a schedulled on checking my outlook and live (msn) emails, so that from midnight to 8am, there are not "heartbeats" and this has saved me a lot of battery during night, but still with some drain.
This was due to the fact that i live in a crappy coverage area, so my signal keeps changing from G to H and vice versa all the time, making me also unreachable at these times. I didnt want to change it to G only, because, of course, H is much faster than E(dge). But now, I have BandSwitcher (2.80 i think) and I can easily change from GSM to UMTS with two taps on my Leo, in case i want to use fast internet.
Last night, battery was 43 before going to sleep, and this morning to my surprise, its was still 43!!! BandSwitcher is my new favourite app. A real battery saver.
