yo homies
just wondering what sort of batterylife are you getting out of your tytns.
post your times like this
wifi--
media playback--
phone--
GPRS--
anything else you care to mention--
cheers Ganon
firstly bought my 838pro (dopod variant) less than a week ago, so have not gone through everything yet
wifi - yet to try
media playback - little
phone - 2hr+ per day
GPRS - yet to use (did play with the videophony a few days back)
Battery was recharged about 3 days ago, so its ~3days I guess...
One thing to take note is the battery indicator is bit querky, the level is scaled on a 10% rate, eg 100%->90%->80% etc
Battery Seem to last for a bit m ore than a day depending on usage.
I believe that it has the stardard/average PPC phone battery power longetivity but the battery reports every 10% instead of 1% is inacceptable...
Battery Indicator
Does anyone know how modify the battery indicator to run at 1% intervals?
I cannot find a solution to this yet. Hopefully some of the experts will...
I dont get why the fact that the battery goes down in
10% leaps instead of 1% bothers people so much. It does not make the thing less accurate,
perhaps it makes it even more accurate since depending on use one percent might
go a lot faster then another.
I'am quite a heavy user, so I recharge daily for few hours, when
the phone is connected to my comp.
I understand. As a heavy PDA Phone user. The TyTN battery seems to last for quite a long time. But the increment of 10% is too big for a battery meter.
Just like a thermometer, 2~3 degree celcius changes are not very significant for what we feel. But that doesnt mean it shouldnt show every 1 degree
For the car fuel indicator, no one would want it to pop from 10% to 0% all in a sudden. Altho we all know that 10% means low on fuel.
The resolution of 10% is too big IMO for this application UNLESS there is a significant reason for it to be 10% like it will drain ALOT of battery if it is being reported every 1 or 2%.
Hi
My XDA trion makes me sad.
The first time all works fine, but now the charging end at 90% and after 1 day the battery-tool says "low of battery"!
I tried a softreset, but the problem dont disappeared.
Can you help me?
EnzephaloN
I read in some review that it can play MP3s for 8 hours? Has anyone tried how long they can play MP3s for?
I have the same problem as EnzephaloN.
After charging my Dopod 838 pro to full charge in the afternoon. The following day, when i wake up, it is down to 20%!!
Has anyone else experienced the same problem?
I barely used the phone during this period and I have turned off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

mine's even worse, charge overnight, and after taking of charge at 9am it's dead by 4pm after just a few calls and the rest of the time on standby, noticed that the machine stays slightly warm all the time. the few times that it has held a charge it is cool to the touch, even when using it
switch to gsm band.......and use UMTS band only if necesary
am using only gsm band, but still the machine only lasts 4-5 hours on a charge. Stays warm the whole time

Mine only gets warm with intense browsing, streaming media, or wi-fi use more than 30min or so.
Also when i have UMTS/3G off mine will last all day. but with it on, it'll last a little more than half a day.
if it stays warm, i suspect you have some background task running all the time or your power saving has been turned off, why don't you do a full backup, then hard reset and test again? mine works more than a day with UMTS turned off and less than a day with it on.
Hi,
I was using wizard for almost 3 years and never had any problem with battery life, it could last 1 day of heavy usage.
But with elfin p3452, the battery goes like of 1 minute call 3% battery decreases, if i will talk about 30 minutes my whole battery will get empty, i dont know the solution for this.
Can it be a radio rom related issue, or flashing to new roms will solve the problem?? Any idea

How old is your elfin? And how old is your battery? I'm assuming you've already tried all the default things to conserve battery power right?
1. Clearing receive beams
2. Keeping bluetooth off unless required
3. Make sure wifi is not connected
4. Keep backlight at level 2 brightness (recommended)
5. Make sure all programs are set on X to close. Make sure nothing's running in the background
If your battery dips 3% in 1 minute, I'd be tempted to take it to the HTC service rep and get it checked out. It's definitely not supposed to be doing that. Could be a faulty battery. Though I'm not sure how knowledgeable the reps are in Mumbai coz they sure as hell suck in Hyderabad. lol.
hi‚ i hav just purchased‚ though it is second hand‚ 1 yr old. I hav charged the phone yesterday whole night and now after 12 hrs minimal use only phone calls and little internet it is 40%. can you tell me wat mA it is using‚ mine is 200 mA (battery status)‚ with wizard it use to be at 20-30 mA
Well, why not get a original HTC Battery and test it out.
Borrow one from your friends for a day and test it out!
Anyone else experiencing excessive battery drain on their HD2?
I am interested to know if this is just my phone or if it actually just chews through that much juice.
I have had windows mobile phones for several years so I know all the basic ways to keep battery drain down.
Stuff that I have generally found:
1. If I keep the screen turned on without it going blank I lose about 1% every 2 minutes.
2. If I am browsing that figure almost doubles.
3. My old Touch HD used about 5% battery overnight when in standby but this phone will go through about 25%.
4. The phone gets really hot when browsing (much hotter than my old Touch HD)
I have tried flashing ROM's and Radios but nothing seems to help.
I am not running any software on the phone that I wasn't running on my old HD1.
I have only had the phone for a week so I am not sure if this is normal but I would be very surprised if HTC released a phone that lasts for only a few hours on one battery.
+1
-1% every 3 minutes
-4% during the night (when i'am sleeping)
MAXIMUM : 45/48 HOURS

I wish I got 2 days
we really need extended battery ,hd1 battery was much more better.
Good mate but yes i agreee HTC has come up with a battery eating device this time around. My device on full charge just gives in around 8-10 hrs. This might be dat my EDGE is on and 7 mails accounts sending mails back and forth.
but truly i think that HTC better look into this very seriously cause more and more ppl are suffering in this battery drain..
Any of flashing roms and radio not helping either... did a complete hard reset but no step up
HTC come with longer battery battery for bigger devices soon......
The only solution i see now is get one of those extra battery worth mind bogling £52.87
I've had this problem ever since flashing to 1.66, I flashed the radio to 2.07.50.27 as this was said to solve the problem but it hasn't made any difference after a few days of use. My battery life used to be significantly better when I was on the original stock ROM, so much so I'm considering going back to it
I also know all the tricks as to clawing back the battery drain, my phone is idle on my desk at work most of the time and I don't use Wi-Fi, all the location stuff is turned off as are weather, stock and other updates plus my screen is set to 30% then off after 60 seconds. Despite all of that I lose 1% every 2-3 minutes
It seems to me that perhaps the radio is checking for reception pretty much constantly rather than say, 5-10 mins perhaps? This used to be a problem on my old Blackberry Storm but a few fimware updates solved it, eventually!
The only other thing I've noticed since the update is that once the battery drops below 50% or so, the drain seems to slow, I don't know if this is perhaps because the phone goes into some sort of semi-power saving mode?
Suggestions/hints welcome! I've had a semi-thorough look into this on the forums and tried most of the suggestions but still the problem remains. Will battery life improve after a few charges perhaps as this was a trait of my Storm's battery, the more you charged it the better the day to day battery life was (and no it wasn't because I had it plugged in all the time! Over time the general charge just seemed to improve when roaming).
Thanks!

You need to indicate what services you have running. Do you have any data services running eg: location services, push mail, weather? all of these have a bearing. In addition, network services can also drain a battery, especially if the signal is weak and the phone have to search for a transmitter, or 3g services.

That is a very interesting comment. Although since upgrading to radio 2.07.51.05_2 I have had very good battery life, I too have noticed a slowdown after 50%

Nothing is turned on, everything is set to manual.
As I stated I know all the basic stuff. I understand that all these things have a bearing on battery loss.
Everything I stated in the first post is for when I have nothing running. The phone is just sitting there running sense, thats all.
I have had my HD2 for a few days now. I am on Vodacom in South Africa.
I have not had a problem with battery life.
Yesterday i unplugged from the charger at 07:00. I spent about 1 and 1/2 hours of talk time on the phone, it was permanently connected to 3g doing weather updates etc. Sent and received a couple of sms's. Also played with a few tweaks and reboots.
When i got home at about 18:00 i had over 30% battery. I then surfed the web for over 2 hours to drain the battery.
try setting Network Selection to Manual

Same here with and without stock ROM.
yeah.. the phone is a battery sucker.... another cons of HD2....
This is very interesting to read because I do not have this problem. When I left my HTC HD2 on last night (I woke up at 4 in the morning to get something to drink and unplugged it) and then woke up at 8, it was at 98%. That means it went from 100% to 98% in 4 hours. Not to bad imo.
I am now at work and it is 15:34, and I am at 87%. I have made some calls, watched some videos, send a few text messages. Not much (I am at work so I got other things to do). So 08:00 (98%) - 15:34 (87%) - that's 7 and a half hours, with some calls, text messages and a video.
I am pretty sure when I get home at 18:30 the battery will still be above 75%. Then I connect to my wifi at home, refresh twitter, weather, browse the web a little bit, check e-mail etc. So that will drain my battery a little more.
But overall I have not had any problems with my battery life. I always make it trough a day, and never have a problem like 'damn my battery is almost done and I am not near a charger'.
Some info that might help:
I do not sync ANYTHING automatically. I still have some things to do with my Vodafone contract and do not have an unlimited plan yet. I only sync at home on my own wifi connection. For me this is not a problem, because I only need to refresh the weather each morning to see what the day is going to be like. Twitter I only do when I have the time. Stocks I do not use.
I have screen brightness set to automatic.
I am on 3G most of the time.
I am running the official 1.66 Dutch ROM.
I have some tweaks, games and programs installed.
I hope you all solve this issue, because it just can not be that my HD2 has a good battery life, and your HD2 not
Kind Regards
EDIT @ 17:00 still 87%.
I am in a 3G 2100 only network (I don't have 2G functionality).
ROM: Artemis 3.0
Radio: 2.06.50.23_3
Customization: Seiya 6.5.5
I don't leave any automatic updates on, except for my e-mail account every 2 hrs.
I never close my connection.
The drainage overnight is -3% (8hrs).
The battery lasts at least 12 hrs of intense usage.
Normally I have to recharge every second day (e.g. I charged last night, I answered a few calls, I did some IM and browsing and I still have 73% left).
For a phone with a 1 GHz processor, a 4.3" screen and a tiny 1250 mAh battery I find the drainage is rather decent.
Mind you, I ALWAYS do at least one full charging cycle to my battery after flashing a new ROM. I mean: full discharge, battery out 1 min, full charging in OFF mode, battery out 2 mins.

I have seen this process recommended a couple of times now. What is the theory behind it if you don't mind me asking?
maybe its also becouse some of us couldnt wait using the hd2 when they got it (like me) before it was fully charged for the first time
anyway my battery life has improved a little bit, i was at 74% this morning and did a lot of browsing, installing, tweaking and now its at 3%. it used to be much worse
I have battery consuming problem from time to time.I did everything:
installed new stock rom 1.66;
transfered all data which phone is using from card to phone memory(pictures,icons,sounds.etc...)
all updates are done manually;
Gprs connection is swiched off on the idle after one min;
One night it is loosing from 2 to 4%;
another from 30 to 40%
and it is eating memory from 10 to 15mb
I think that it is radio which is causing battery drainage so fast(to much communication wit a base stations,because when I am checking spb wireless monitor in the morning,there is no any data traffic.
I hope they can solve problem,because it is getting me mad and crazy
Try setting the screen brightness to 10-20% (on battery powered)
and dim backlight after 10 seconds (on batter powered).
It helps a lot, at least for me.

as far as i know, the battery has an integrated digital circuit (ic) which estimates the state-of-charge (soc). the procedure resets/calibrates the ic to obtain a more accurate estimation. since the radio rom is in charge with the power management (among other things), by changing it you decalibrate the "gauge".
i don't know if i've got the theory right but i tested this myself and it surely works.
Hi,
probably someone else have just post this kind of question, but i don't find it , really, sorry
i have just install 2_HD2 Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.8 OS Is the last version, i think...
the problem is that, the battery life is less then 4 hours . how can i do ? it's normal ?
thanks for replay
look my signature
I would like to add: after flashing ROM fully discharge your battery and then recharge it. After that go to registry editor on your phone and go to
Code:
[B]HKLM/system/state/batteryux/MainIntervalIndex[/B]
and change the value from 6 (or any value it shows there) to 20...now press OK! You wil see that the battery level on top has been changed!
Now again edit it and go from 20 to 80 and press OK...
RESTART YOUR PHONE AND THEN CHARGE IT!
This helps me a lot. I used my phone about 37 hrs with calls, little use of BT and WiFi.
and then you don't need to do
- when battery drop to 50% (for example), restart phone... battery status be refreshed and show around 20% more battery level.... sometimes i restart 3-4 times phone before need to charge it....

i have restart the phone, and now is on 74% and a day remaning...
i hope is true , but a don't belive so much

where exactly did you look?
how about google 'hd2 windows 7 battery'
there are +3000000 hits and the first page has several links to xda here and also youtube videos to watch
this is a common problem for all these windows 7 roms.
the registry tips posted in below and also try the 'camera trick' which works for me
Planet O
well, the main trick is to discharge to 0 and than re-charge battery. My battery drain today is about 1% per hour. Battery consumption is very individually.
P.S. I installed hardware radio 2.12 and software radio 5.51. This cimbination is much better for me.
Hello,
i don't want to start new thread about my problem, so i pin here.
When i was thinking about to buy HD2 i didn't realize what i am going into, but now i have to continue.
Well everything is fine except damn powerdrain. It is normal to have on high usage 300-500 mA drain? Well i understand this usage when playing for example gta3 on nativeSD android, but seriously...?
Normal work drains my battery on android in 4 hours (NativeSD nexusHD2 - Wifi, exploring web, youtube, facebook etc) with about 150-300mA usage. Well i have to admit that currentwidget cannot show drain properly, but what it shows look really insane.
Also i found on WP7 more outrageous drain. I plugged in charger to HD2 and launched sims3. The battery was at 5%, but gaming made my battery dead. I had to buy external battery charger to apply some power, because battery was too weak to hang in boot time.
My primary questions:
1. Is this high drain normal?
2. Is 80mA charging power normal (using HTC charger)?
3. If i flash android to nand, will power consumpion on high usage be less?
Hello guys
I have my galaxy s4 i9505 android 4.4.2 . Is that normal, that my phones battery discharges in 2 h 30 min average (from 100%), when i play heavy games like asphalt 8 from fully charged battery till its discharge with wifi on and on 50 % brightness? Also when im surf the net, stay on fb and do stuff like that, my phones battery discharges in 4 hours. I say thats not normal. And by the now my phones battery discharges 1% in 2-1min
So its that a foulty battery problem, charging port problem or else? Dont tell me reset my phone cus, i done that 10 times already and it didint help
Im pretty sure its not Running apps problem either, cus my phone dont heat.

Let's be organized:
1. Faulty charging port: can be, if you phone charges too long. nothing related with discharge speed
2. Faulty battery: check battery SN, if it starts with BD letters, can be. In this case, the battery would be visually swollen, and your phone shall randomly reset with charge from 80 to 30%, and shall not be able to start without the charger connected.
3. Discharge of 60% per hour is possible, depends from the apps running in background. Install Battery Monitor Widget or something similar to investigate closer.

Thanks for reply I forgot to mention that my charging port is weird, sometimes charges phone, sometimes not. Recently my phone charges only when its turned of completely, when phone is on with charger connected its discharges. Also i can say that thats not a charger problem, because my brothers S3 charges very well with it. I'm i have ordered the new charging cable/part for my phone, and hopping to fix charging issues.
Another problem is that my phone in powering On process goes to Download mode without key combination and dont boot up (sometimes), also in the same way rondomly when i press power on button it goes to recovery mode (without key combination). Is that problem may be realated to this one i stated before (about charging).
It's perfectly normal. There is nothing wrong with your phone.

Really? 2.5h is good on gaiming and wi-fi with 50% brightness? When browsing the net, my phone discharges in rate like 1%/3mins... (average)
it depends entirely on usage. 2.5 hours screen time while gaming is pretty good I think. on stock rom i can manage anything between 1.5 and 4 hours screen time, but it also depends on usage during screen time. if you're running something that's quite hard work on the cpu/gpu and with the srceen constantly on....like gaming.....then obviously that will drain your battery faster than just browsing the web or texting etc.
generally speaking s4 will last through a days normal use quite easily.....but then it depends on how you define normal days use.

Thanks for reply So its nothing to worry about? I had S3 and it lasted much longer than my current S4. Of course i need to look at its 5'' display and 1080p resolution If you guys getting same battery life while heavily using your phones, it means it's ok and i don't have consider of changing battery ?
yeah i think from the sounds of your usage, that's about right for a stock rom.
if you are still only getting about 2-4 hours total use (i.e. battery dead from 100% down to 0%) from your normal daily use while you're at work/school or whatever (i.e. where it's sat idle for most of the day), then you've probably got something wrong. but given that you said you were playing games etc contantly and still got 2.5 hours screen time, that's ok i think.
you can always try and squeeze some more out using custom kernels etc, but if you are not certain it's some other fault i#d try and see what battery life you get on idle first so that you don't lose warranty by flashing a custom system. so yeah try for a day or two leaving it with just normal usage or idle whenever possible to compare

THAT is NOT normal... and yes, it may be somehow related... if your phone shows that often, and if it is under warranty, I'd consider going to service center
ooops, yeah i totally missed the post about your download mode issue and faulty charging port. if you're in warranty, take it back.
