get a different phone?
Are you saying your battery is dead 1 day after continuously having this program activated? If so, I'm amazed the battery lasted that long! How old is your device and battery? Does the battery charge o.k. when it's plugged to a charger?
Hi Hotdog,
Thanks for your reply.
My device is 1 year old and the battery drains even when the phone is inactive(battery charges just fine).
Before installing NBD, the battery lasted like 3 days (not really an active user of the phone) and now only 1 day.
Am i the only person experiencing this issue around the forums??
Device info:
ROM version 6.6.6.666 WWE
ROM date 8/23/07
RADIO version 02.19.11
Protocol version 4.1.1309
MDA Vario T-mobile AKU2 model.
Thx.

Ive seen many people with this problem. all I can suggest to you is, lower rom numbers on WM6 use up the battery faster. I dont know why that is but that is the trend.
Im not suggesting you go out there and get 2.69 radio rom. the higher you go the more unstable the rom is. all Im saying is, it might be the radio rom mixed with WM6. try a reflash back to wm5 and see if battery is back to 3 days.
One other thing you can try is drain the battery completely, recharge it fully, drain it a second time and recharge it fully again. sometimes when you flash the battery memory gets messed up, it's happened to me once.

That brings me to my second question,
Is there a Radio ROM out there for my T-mobile that is stable and runs smooth under NBD 8.0?
What comes after RADIO version 02.19.11? 2.69 radio rom?
I did actually flash back to the original T-mobile NL ROM (latest version)
And there the battery is functioning as expected.
(you can really tell, in the afternoon, the battery is almost at 50% with NBD)
Thank you so much for your help! really appreciated.

hmm.. I never focus much on tmobile users with radio problems, more cingular users. some say the 2.47 works, some say the 2.69 is flawless, I personally use the cingular 2.25.11. it's the stock cingular rom and it works fine.
Im gonna give the forum a good look for tmobile radio rom threads and ill redirect you
I suggest you try the cingular 2.25.11 (being that tmobile in the us uses a lot of cingular towers) since its really really stable.
EDIT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314235&highlight=t+mobile+radio+rom
try that, its a decent thread on the ROM workin in the UK, Im not exactly sure where you're stationed but the point is this, there's probably an existing thread out there.
Only thing is, many different people have many different results. Updating Radio ROMs is a little dangerous for me cus the calls I receive can be very important so I try not to mess with it.
Install a new radio rom, leave your phone in standby for a few hours and test texting and calling to see if itll wake up on its own, some roms wont work well. trial and error
Goodluck!

Point taken
Will do some more research on Tmobile Dutch(Netherlands) Radio Roms to see if that helps.
Thanks for all the effort elmetal!
Nope it's not the Radio Rom 2.19 is the most stable and loses less energy.
The 2.69 radio Has more problems keeping the signal so it uses more energy to maintain the signal, and of course you might lose some calls here and there.
Earlier posts do indeed have the classic basic Battery drain tips.
But what about deleting the items from the Windows\StartUp folder?
Flash a fully loaded battery.
How about borowing my new battery and see if it makes a difference since my wizard is on repair.
Some users even have reported that 8.2 actually was better on the battery then 8.3.
Some believe that it might have something to do with the memory leak problem most Wizard roms have issues with. Keeping more memory reffreshed does require more power. So try to set the weather plug in to only update mannualy set the homescreen to not time out. Or try setting up the included smartskey to overclock instead of Battery status althought i don't think that battery status causes isseus.
Or do a Combo. Drain the battery recharge it perform a hard reset or clear storage. You could also try a lower pagepool rom version, nowadays you can change the pagepool without reflashing. Lower is slower but again it uses less memory. You could also use wizard registry wizard to change the font cache to lower setting and other cache settings.
My advice is to charge as less as possible as my USB connector got ****ed.
I tried the 25.11 on T-mobile network but quit using it as it either froze the ROM or could just not connect.
Or yes you could get another phone
Also make sure you change the settings of the network registry to not automaticly scanning for the network.

I have a MDA and I am running WM6 and using the 2.69.11 radio and I have no problems. I found that changing the task manager settings so that the program actually closes when you click x helps increase free ram and also, don't use any overclocker software such as battery status(it kills your battery and it doesnt make that much of a difference anyways...). Another thing you want to do is disable the today timeout under today settings. that tends to use more ram and thus, kills the battery faster.
See i knew i wasn't crazy about the today timeout
Thanks for the confirm.
I had the same problem with I upgraded to 8.1. Battery drain was pretty bad.. Usually getting home from work, I'd still be in the 90's with moderate texting, but with 8.1 i'd be in like the 50's. I just went back to 7.9.
The problem isn't the ROM... it's the audio manager from HTC, that sucker eats battery like I've never seen... been having this issue too, until I stoped using the audio manager and started using windows media player!

Same here i (as in i didn't actually notice it) but i stopped using the audio manager in favour of WMP as it gave better reactions to using the Stereo Bluetooth headset. As in Audio manager sometimes did not pick up the next and previous commands or would stop playing.
As i said i never really paid attention and i can only speculate that the battery drained faster when i did use Audiomanager.
Just goes to show that closing apps completely is always the best practice.
BTW, dferreira.
Ai's it Funny how one month after your WM5SE release people actually reacted after my post
What is your reason to use WM5 base?
WM5 is the native OS for Wizards... so, I find it to be more quick than WM6... Never gave me problems, like WM6 did. WM6 is just a face lift on WM5 so... I'm trying to make it as good as WM6 but quicker

Hi, I love shiny new things and cant resist a new radio rom, however battery is a big issue for me.
What is the best from for both battery and stabiluty. Im on the latest one on this forum at the moment and it does seem a little fast on the drain and ive read 3.08 can have some delays when answering calls.
Is there anyone out there who has tried them all and can give a good, balanced view?
Thanks
3.18.90 is worse than 3.8.90 but better than 3.7.90
(my experiences)
3.8.90 > 3.7.90 > 3.18.90
Hi Dannyoneill, you could make a poll for everyone to vote on wich radio most people prefer.
Based on my experience, with Wm 6.1 in Ptg, with Htc home, today agenda and batttery status in today screen, using Ndrive or iGO to navigate, and an average of 45 m a day with calls.
1- 3.18.90
2- 3.08.90
3- 3.06.90
Cheers.
very satisfied of 3.08.09, now trying the 3.18.90
pskint, I will be keen to hear your experience.
3.18.90 best for me
I have been testing 3.18.90 for a few weeks now - and definitely best for battery drain.
New ROM 3.21.90
I've just downloaded the new ROM 3.21.90
Does anybody know how it works? I'll try it at least few days before post my opinion?
I have Installed 3.21.90 rom right now. Will get back to you all in a day or two.
I installed the rom yesterday and I would like to give first had impression of this upgrade. I must say this is very battery friendly, yestreday when I installed it I recharged the mobile 100% then installed it. Since yesterday till now, which is nearly 24hrs and with normal usage of phone (43mins), GPS (12Mins), GPRS (30min), I still have 69%battery remaining. This is still very early, I will test it longer and get back to everyone.
Moderators - Is it possible to convert this thread into a sticky poll to find out which is the best GSM Rom through a poll??
Hi
I have had my HD2 for 2 days now (arrived 11th March 2010)
The battery meter seems to decrease soooo fast its un real

I was reading the others saying the same but i guess I just hoped mine would be able to last at least one day!!
I have even read some say a couple of days!!
I installed battlog and my phone just never seems to run at under 100mA so on my 1230mA battery you can see my problem!!, i can't seem to tell what is using that 100mA or what is running, is battlog what I should use or is their another program to help me??
my back light is set to 20%
installed WMLongLife so its always on 2G except for the whitelist such as opera/FB/Youtube etc
but on emails which are set to every 15mins its on 2G
I wanted push emails but when i set it up i found that my emails came straight through but no alert so i would have to keep looking at my phone unless someone can help with that!!
also twitter is not active, I dont use stocks automatically or weather!!
I have read LEO's tips and i just feel so far not in a million years will i get 24hrs!!

You might want to consider upgrading your Radio ROM version, I flashed from stock Radio ROM to 2.07 (as this was necessary to use the custom ROM I chose to install) and bettery life is really good I find, even better than version 2.08.
If you are willing to do this, please see this link.
Note: you must install HardSPL (once installed successfully, it will show as SPL: 1.42.HSPL instead of 1.42.0000 in Bootloader mode) on your HD2 to unlock it so you can install other Radio versions and custom ROMs.
Start by upgrading to the 1.66 ROM from your provider, then see what you're up to

As above - upgrade your radio and rom.
You wont look back!
i concur... upgrade rom to at least 1.66 and radio to 2.08.50.08_2
i am getting great battery life out of this radio.
with your current rom and radio i guess all you could do now is:
a) install bsb tweaks... it has a power saving option but im unsure as to what registry changes are actually made by it.
b) search these forums for battery tweaks. there are quite a few good reg changes that have been posted.
Wait at least a week as before that, your battery isn't fully conditioned, so you don't get the best out of it.
If you browse internet or have the phone in constant use than it´s normal that the battery is sucked out rapidely - the display and wireless connections consumpt the most energy...
One example: Surfing via Edge/3G demands 300 - 550mA (in peaks)! So it´s no miracle that the battery runs out of juice...
See my log in attachment. This were 19 minutes browsing with 3G (in the middle the phone switched to Edge). I´m currently running EnergyROM 23544 with radio 2.08.50.08_2, browser is Opera Mobile 10 beta. Standby consumption should be around 9 - 18mA (I have 1% loss over night in flight mode)...
Also, bear in mind that the full capacity of the battery won't be reached until several charge/discharge cycles have been done when you flash to a new ROM.

I am wrong in thinking that batteries these days don't really need conditioning, even though I say that so far I am letting my battery totally die before I recharge but its like when I put it in flighmode at night to save battery it still can drop by 10%, is this normal??
thanks for your replies

I just want to say a BIG thanks for the replies, so fast and so much help!!
thank you!!!
upgrade your rom to a newer version
It's a huge difference, at least for me between 1.48 rom and 1.66 offical rom. With 1.66 WWE and radio 2.06 my HD2 last for 2 and half days, with HSDPA always on, emails every 1 hour and moderate calls. And no other programs to save power...
Hi!!
So I have got Radio 2.07 and EnergyROM 23544 because the guy said he had only 1% drop in flight mode through the night or would you still say for me to go to 1.66 with Radio 2.07??
thanks for any help!!
I prefer to use shipped ROM's with embeded radio, but is up to you to try.

Problems
Just flashed using HSPL to the energy rom
all went well and my device restarted, nice interface and at the bottom was a please wait bar increasing saying different things and then it said very fast, "restarting device" on the restart my device is stuck on the black screen with the pink circled arrow!
if i take my battery out it first goes to a screen saying energy
then into the user interface and the please wait bar at the bottom again and then it says restarting device when the bar is full and again on restart its the black screen with the circled pink arrow!!
i was meant to flash my Radio to 2.07 after it turned back on back at this stage i am thinking 1, i cant change the Radio to 2.07 and i cant even change firmware because i have to have the device with the user interface to use Active sync
thinking i could well be screwed right about now unless some very kind person tells me otherwise!!
thank you
Hold volume down key, reset phone, hold until you're into the tricolor screen. Then plug your USB cable and flash that radio

Yeah that is what i thought, I am at the red green blue and white screen and at 1st it says serial at the bottom, i plug in my USB and it changes to USB but when i go to Active Sync it states that it can not find my phone!!
really struggling with this but needed to do it since i was getting about 8 or maybe 10hrs out of my battery!!
thanks for the fast reply
Seems i did not actually need active sync to say connected, i just clicked the radio update when at the multi coloured screen so now i am on radio 2.07 and back to my phone restarting, lets hope this time it will restart!!
oj so i waited until my phone restarted before to post!!
it restarted with the radio 2.07 and the EnergyROM 23544 but still the same, when my phone loads into the user interface all looks nice witht he bar please wait at the bottom but when the phone restarts on its own it just gets stuck on the black screen, the red writting at the bottom about the radio version just never shows, then if i take the battery out the same process starts!!
any suggestions please??

Battery life is very very bad, i'm not sure if it's my batt or the radio/rom performance, but just leaving it overnight (about 7 hours) with WMLongLife (2G with screen off), drains it to 86% from 100%!
And i'm not sure if anyone has a better alternative - i listen to music a lot, but just a 5 minute song with pocketplayer 4.0 drains my battery by 1%!

it's got nothing to do with your radio, this frequent auto reset bug has something to do with an app that you install and/or your ROM (Astraios).

Hi guys. I use the setup below. I started with full charge at around 9 am in the morning and with atleast 4 hrs of talktime and no sms/mms, maybe 15 mins of browsing and close to 40 mins of youtube I ended up with around 5 % left the next day at little after lunch. That is close to almost 30 hrs. Also I had my wifi on most of the time. Except for around 2 hrs in between when I was not at work or at home. I did not charge it over night and did not put it into airplane mode.
ROM : Artemis 34.0 WWE
Radio : 2.14.50.04
I have the Tmous HD2 and am currently in Sunnyvale, CA. I should say though that all my youtube was not on wifi, though I am not sure if that would ve made a significant change in batterly life. Also I do not have my email set to automatically update itself. I manually check it when I need to. Get way too many of them. Will update again with more details with the 2.12.50.xx radio which I m planning to flash this weekend. Want to see how that one fares.
Cheers. Hope this helps. I would also appreciate more information about radio performance in India if there are any of you guys using the hd2 in india. Thanks

Gprash, would be curious on your results. I have been on 2.12.50.02 for the last couple of days and have been consisting getting 7-9mA drain and sometimes as little as 4mA. Call quality is clear for me. Just tried this morning the 2.14.50.04 radio and consistently get 7mA but call quality I am not sure about. First time I heard a very faint echo in the background. Could have been the signal? Signal quality seems to be the same while others say it is better than 2.12. And I am located in Fremont, CA. So not too far away from you.
Hi,
I have a question about the radio and what it does for the battery. I'm currently using my HD2 with android, but the maximum amount of time before my battery is out of power is about 12-15 hours. I have the latest original HTC rom installed (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship), and i am currently using the MDJ_Revolution_HD_v._1.2_MDJ_S7.7HD android rom.
As far as i understand the radio is like the bios of your computer. I have been reading somethings about updating the radio so your phone uses less battery. But i haven't seen anything specific about this, like witch radio to use ect. Now I've been reading a little bit about updating a radio, and notest that it is a pretty riskfull thing to update the radio, so I'm trying the collect as much information about this before bricking my perfectly working HD2.
Could somebody clear this up for me?
Should i install a different radio to improve my battery usage? And why?
Radio can change battery usage but not necessarily has to. It depends on to many variables to give you straight answer. It depends on carrier, signal strength in your place, the way you use your phone etc. I can tel you this I'm with Meteor in Ireland and I'm using the same radio as you. My phone drain battery in more or less 24h, so you can see that is not only radio related. I do not know how dangerous is changing radio in the theory, but I did it at least dozen of times and didn't noticed any problems. Answering your question: you could try changing radio, there is chance that it will improve battery life of your mobile

The radio definitely plays an important role when it comes to battery consumption. No doubts there.
Now depending on the type of ROM you use, a specific radio version will work best with it.
I tried the latest Radio (2.15), I was not satisfied so switched to 2.12 - it was the radio version suggested by the ROM chief.
In theory the latest radio should be the best, but i dnt think its always true when it comes to android on the HD2, specially with RMNET and PPP connections and many other factors.
Simply use the radio suggested by ur ROM chief. If not satisfied, try the latest radio and compare. Only you can judge.
Last thing, i flashed radios several times (more than 10 times), never had any issues.
Just make sure u dnt interrupt the process lol and follow the instructions clearly.
Hope this helps.
