The idea of this post is to make a statistic research about the battery drain problem. Maybe this will make us understand the cause of the battery problems -since I couldn't find something that solved the battery problems of all users.

There are 3 solutions (they are post in Faria Wiki)
-One is mess with the keys
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AsyncMac1\Parms]
...
-Another is mess with the key
HKLM/Drivers/SDCARD/ClientDrivers/Class/SDMemory_Class/DisablePowerManagement
-And a third solution is to Flash a ROM with FULL battery & let it drain comletelly afterwards.
---------------------------------------
Using the "battery status"today add-on I can say this:
The first time I installed faria 3.3 ROM I had huge memory drain problems
I notised that even in stand-by my phone "ate" about 124mA
The registry memory tweaks didn't change this much - maybe 118mA.
The battery in this codition lasted at most 18hours...
I reflashed Faria3.3 with the mobile FULLY charged,let it discharge fully and now I have 84mA consuption if phone goes to sleep and 97mA when not used. Now battery lasts about 48hours without much usage.
With the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AsyncMac1\Parms] etc keys changed and with manually shutting down the Wireless Monitor Service(WMS7) was 42mA .
Note: I have Faria3.3 ROM & GSM 2.19 .
In another mobile phone I checked, with 2.17 OS rom & GSM 2.06.10 radio, I see that the when phone is not used the battery drain is 24mA !!!!!
This phone does NOT have the registry tweaks enabled and even with backlight it still stays in 24mA..
Please, post your mA consumption here and say what you have enabled.
Btw, anyone knows why Wireless Monitor Service(WMS7 was enabled (started) even though I have turned off WiFI,bluetooth & IRDA?
152mA, was ALOT higher when i had 5+ programs running, around 200
I have Faria's WM6 and run about 57mA in standby, 125 during normal operations.
Here is my first contribute to this outstanding forum.
Hope this is usefull insearch of the power drain on some devices.
Note:
My phone does NOT have the powermanagement registry tweaks enabled.
And is an clean install with the Faria WM6 (The real Thing) rom.
So there ain't much running.
Just ordered Wisbar Advanced + desktop so hope to see more readings later this week after fully fine tuning my device.
My device
Orange SPV - M3000 Faria WWE WM6 (G3 Unlocked)
IPL/SPL: 2.26
Radio: 2.61.11
ROM: 2.18.0.0
OC: CpuScaler - 130<->273mhz By BatteryStatus
Startup Services
CapNotify
SIPChange (Resco Keyboard)
Startclean
Today Plugins
BatteryStatus incl Tray applet
Running Hardware
Bluetooth= off
GPRS= off
Radio= on
WiFi= off
IR= off
Power drain Bat= 100% charged
Wakeup: 70mA (after 5 <-> 10 minutes)
Softreset: 258mA
Hardreset: 350mA
Standby + 50% backlight: 302mA
After charging: (and pulling the plug out) 180 -> 250 mA
All readings do not change until i manualy interrupt the current status off my device.
I mean if my device after wakeup says 219mA the reading does not change even when i run different software apps.
Even if the CpuScaler clocked 130mhz the reading will not change.
I think that BatteryStatus is broken or something else is interfearing with the readings.
i went from 175mA to 125mA... just by going from 0 to 1 with the next tweak:
HKLM/Drivers/SDCARD/ClientDrivers/Class/SDMemory_Class/DisablePowerManagement
i use Fario's rom..
trying other tweaks now..
ok:
so without doing anything it just suddenly dropt back to 64mA.... :\
ok:
booting takes 280mA
I recommend not to use these ::: they sucked out my battery even more.. from 125 to 247
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AsyncMac1\Parms]

Today i did made two changes on my device and noticed the following.
First i updated my Radio rom from 2.19.11 to 2.61.11. (No errors everything works fine)
I just wanted a better radio because the signal strengh overhere is verry bad.
This update has on my device an nice site effect.
Powerdrain dropped by several mA.
Wakeup: 61mA (after 5 <-> 10 minutes)
Softreset: 201mA
Hardreset: 299mA
Second i messed with the key
HKLM/Drivers/SDCARD/ClientDrivers/Class/SDMemory_Class/DisablePowerManagement
I did not notice any effect on this reg tweak
I am using Wizard 100 ( Cingular 8125)
EDGE ON 24x7

WiFI OFF
decient battery life: fully charged battery comes to 1.5 days..
--tux
i dont know what i did.. but its at 42mA right now.. and sins my last post.. it was @ 76% battery.. and right now its @ 75%... that means more then 12 hours have passed.. and its only down by 1 %...
last post was @ 01:30 PM...
WOW!!!!!!!!!!~!!!!!!!!!
like i said.. it took a really long time for 1 %..
but the moment i sent an sms message... it went from 75% to 71%..!!!
damnnn
Seems as if batterystatus is broken: my readings dont update either: it seems stuck at the same mA-value all the time, no matter what I do, or which clockspeed I use...
Also: the powermeter keeps at 99% (had been 83% as well); it never changes : (
My battery from 100% to drop to 99% might take 8-12 hours , then from 99% to 90% might take few hours (maybe 1-3 hours).
This seems to be normal.
I'm using the mA consumption because if you have an 1250mA battery I think this is the best unit to measure battery.
My apologies, but which program are people using to measure battery life consumption and how does one tell which program is causing the problem? In the past week, I have noticed my battery life take a nose dive and I'm wondering if it is pRSS Reader that causing my problem. I installed a power saving cab found on this forum site and I will test it tonight. Thanks for the help.
It might also be worth considering usage of GPRS, Push email, WiFi, BT, etc.

Be careful of power saving cabs. Some of them actually increase battery consumption.
I think most people are using battery status to check consumption.
BTW:
At wake up: 24-30 mA
When the phone has a signal, the consumption rate is low 24-30 mA throughout the day. When it is searching for a signal (normally at my work), the consumption is substantially grater. When I get back home the consumption goes back down to the normal 24-30 mA (I always have a signal at home).

No,
I never applied the fix.
I haven’t done enough research on the fix to justify applying it. Maybe when I get some extra time.
The signal goes in and out at work, so it's not a big deal for me!
Running an 8125 with Faria's WM5 3.3 ROM.
When I wake it up it's usually 51, or somewhere in the 50's anyway.
I just tried those powermanagement reg tweaks and had terrible results too :\
My wizard can last 3 days with moderate usage of wifi, phone calls, and movies. This happened after I followed the Battery Solved thread and reflash with official ROM and then I installed Xplore1.1. And for the first cycle after first time after fully charging overnight, I can get the 3days of continous battery life..
Since then, I have been monitoring CPU usage and it hovers around 1-5% (Battery status) when idle... Bear in mind that the current consumption value can be around 33mA to 150mA and still battery life seems to be good...
Weird but through...

Is that one okay? I'm not sure if it worked since I used my phone alot this evening. I have the standard ROM that came with the phone back in October. Thanks.

Dear,
I have upgraded my HTC Touch from WM 6.0 to 6.1. I have faced the big problem of Heavy Battery Drain. I was confused. I try to find out the solution over XDA Forum.
My problem was, "after charged 100%, then after 5-10 menutes it goes to 80%. and then it start draining very fast."
I have changed the registry for :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AsyncMac1\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:1
Change to
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Irsir1\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:1
Change to
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PPTP1\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:1
Change to
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\L2TP1\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:1
Change to
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:0
and Set the Wireless Monitor Service from Automatic to Manual.
But, I still have the same problem, why after 100% charged & after unpluged it goes to 94% thereafter 88% and within 5 menute it goes to 80%.
Thanks to the XDA Forum Members, help me out.

Hi all:
i know i have been braging lately a lot on the forums about the battery issue after upgrade to wm6.
BUT- after actually surfing the net for like 2 weeks non stop, i found on several sites a solution which i think would end this "IF" someone has it.
Theoritical Explanation:
it's said that when upgrading to wm6 the battery has to be atleast 50% charged "this is wrong" .
battery has to be 100% charged because for example:
if your battery is say 60% and you upgraded to wm6, the new ROM will mark the 60% as your 100% battery hence why it drains so fast.
that's why you need to charge to 100% first before upgrade BUT the only way to make sure the battery is really at 100% is to remove it and charge it in the cradle separetly until the lid on cradle changes from amber to green.
after that put the battery in your BA and start the RE-upgrade if you are on wm6 already or Upgrade if you are on wm5 or wm2003SE.
you should notice the difference, i'm currently testing it for the 2nd time, to make sure it is the right solution.
P.S. am only a noob so excuse me for the unorganised post.
Pls someone test this aswell
Regards
The battery charge level has nothing to do with the OS, its part dependent.
If i get you right, what are you saying is "if the battery level is 60% on flashing, the new OS will take 60% as being the 100%(maximum) level of what the battery can go".
I think that's wrong.

yes, hence why the battery and BA gets to warm or hot while charging as it cannot exceed the 60% mark which is marked as 100%.
i think it's the only logical explanation
Any battery get warm or hot on charge (or one some type of charge, like car charge).
I may say b*** s***, but after upgrading to WM6, my battery is acting as in WM2003; some software (like HTC home) is draining more, but nothing isn't abnormal; i still get with a 2400 mA a normal day of BA use (PDA+phone).

the ting is my battery was working very good before upgrade with wm5 and wm2003SE but after wm6 this happened, andnever had i get the battery and BA so very hot like ths.
i finished the re-upgrade after charging battery and it's draining is much better, dropped in 1.30 hours 50% but still getting much draining, it used to drain to zero in 1 hour

Did you disables infrared on the new install? This might take some extra power.
nothing wrong with the OS , i believe it's a psycho matter maybe ??? my battery was 94% charged .. i took the device and went on a trip .. 4 hours with TCMP on listening to Mp3s .. i went back home after 5 hours it was 53%. Sounds good for me. 1450mAh and i charge it every 2 days with normal consumption. Maybe ur batteries are getting old because with No plugins installed it's just as good as WM2003SE.
Battery status - Its possible
ahassouna might be onto something. Logically I know this sounds unlikely. However I recall exactly the same point occuring in the smartphone forums when an OS upgrade came about. It was common knowledge that for the HTC smartphone you should have you battery fully charged when doing it. It was widely tested in the forums - www.modaco.com and generally accepted back then that for best perfromance your battery should be 100% when upgrading. BTW - in my opinion this is the best ROM ever released for BA - big thanks and respect to Helmi!
if it's so you never come back after upgrading with non fully charged battery.
I think that's wrong.
Emm let's say u were right, so i assume that the OS wont determine the correct battery level. So logically, when u get a 0% , the battery is shown as empty while it is not. So if u think a bit , when the OS indicates that the battery is empty, it shouldnt turn itself off because in fact IT IS NOT. So if you get ur device to turn itself off without being able to power on again , that means that the OS was right and it was 0% for real. ( Correct me if i'm wrong )
as the Matter of fact, wm6 is slightly 'heavier' than wm2003, it contains more drivers and stuffs. so it will consume lot More resource than wm2003. I think battery draining also closely related to the read/writing speed of your sdcard, how big the capacity...
My SX66 drains equally under all three OS's, Though I must admit I quickly upgraded from WM2003SE to WM2005. Ran WM2005 for almost a full year, good battery drain, WM2006 seems to drain the same thus far
I would have a look at your battery, there cheap to replace on ebay and such.
Slide2Unlock
Do you use Slide2Unlock? I confirmed that the software was draining battery faster especially ver 1.216. I uninstalled it and my battery back to normal.
I hope it helps.
I don't believe that would cause any problems...the OS is independent of the battery. Anyway, my battery use is only slightly higher in WM6 than WM5.
Your battery can be at any level when you upgrade the ROM...I really cannot see how the OS would "read" the status of the battery and set that as the 100% level.
Try running your battery down to something below 50%, then reflash your ROM...now what does the battery meter show? I bet it shows the same as before you flashed it, below 50%.

Yes. In fact every battery has a internal chip for charge controll and status level. OS reads the status of the battery by this chip.

no i don't use it, i finished flashing for the 3rd time with a "3rd battery" Still same problem BUT draiing is less than before but still 1-2 hours max without any calls and drops to zero.
am begining to think my BA went razy for some reason.
P.S. i have no apps or anything installed other than flashing the ROM.
My BA drains normally. I have 2-4 days of standby with occasional calls and usage. The backlight auto-closes in 30 seconds, the power goes off in 1 minute.

Exactly...so the first post is wrong...the OS reads the status of the battery and it doesn't matter what charge status the battery is at when you reflash...the battery status circuit will show the proper charge percentage...
I installed ArielBattery (really nice program) and I'm noticing that my battery status goes down in steps of 10%: 100%, 90%, 80%,...
It's not a big problem (since I'm getting nice battery life) but is this the normal behaviour?
My Prophet shows every 1% change in it's capacity.
This is normal behavior for the Xperia. I'm not sure why they did it, but apparently it gives a more accurate trend...I prefer 1% steps too, like my old HTC Uni, but I'm slowly getting used to this while I've been trying to jog my battery. Still can't get a full day out of the Xperia

thanks for confirming this is normal...
maybe this is something related to OS version, mayber they'll change this with an update... who knows...
My battery is doing better since I enabled GPRS/HSDPA timeout (5 minutes) as I found that's a thing that eats lot of power, even when just connected without any use.
Anyways, looking at what we do with our Winmo devices, it's normal to have less battery life than with normal phones.
I hope the developer fixes this on future version.
It's not a big problem but I did prefer it showing reading by 1% on my diamond though.
cool, how do you enable GPRS/HSDPA timeout?
I was told that the 10% steps are the normal WM behaviour. 1% - allthough very common during the last years - is something special and supplier related.
Because the HTC Kaiser was the my 1st WM device I was also thinking that 1% steps are the normal thing.
Xperia is the 1st WM device for SE so they went ahead with the standard from WM for this feature.

It probabbly seems ive been spamming the forum with alot of useless threads, but ive gone through many threads about some peoples battery only lasting a few hours, like mine, and others who last almoast two days! so anyway i was just wondering if anyone has just gone out and bought a new battery for there hd2 and the problem was fixed, as in the battery your phone shipped with was just a bad battery. i was just wondering all this before i went ahead and shed out a few bucks for a new battery,so incase the new battery dies at the same speed, i could save some money. thanks everyone!
stock rom- battery life is bad.. just barely making it through the day...
custom rom- people claiming battery life lasting "2 days" which i say is an overexaggeration...
and if you are just talking about accessories.. like batteries....well there is no bigger battery for us.. unless you want to get the extended battery.. which makes you hd2 fat....
now i'm still upset at the fact that the Evo comes shipped with a 1500 Mh battery... and that was modled after our HD2!! which means.... that technically.. there should be a 1500 Mh battery available for us....
but of course... there isn't... for some reason............. which does not make sense at all...... because regardless of the "Minor" differences between the Evo and HD2... they are both slim... almost identical in dimensions.... So the battery should be about the same size.... give or take..... man, i'd even buy a 1450 Mh battery... which would give me about 2 extra hours of battery life...
before anyone says it.. the batteries that are out right now.. are way too close to the stock capacity.. which would make my purchase worthless... I want to increrase my battery life.. not emulate it......
Also.. i do NOT want to keep an extra battery on me.. i do not have a purse... so i can't keep batteries on hand... thats just one big hassle....
and i DO NOT want to flash a custom rom.. stability and bug-free is the only way i like my phones.. i don't care if you never had to charge your battery ever again...... I'm sticking with stock..
so yea.. in other words... i'm just screwed........
love the phone though
Save Battery on HD2
TIPS
Besides the crappy battery that you might have it actually involves lots of things, such as ROM, Radio, Activesync etc...
- Running HTC Sense will drain your battery much more faster than running Titanium.
- Closing Unused apps that are running on the background from the task manager will help, dont use microsft direct push instead have it checked every 4hours or manual (that save A LOT of battery) also any other apps that connects to the internet automatically such as weather, twitter or facebook will drain your battery MUCH FASTER than usual.
- Hving he GPS enabled will drain your battery to ZERO In no time.
- I've came to realize that the Energy Rom's drain my battery soooooooo quick, So I stop Using energy's Rom's, I've also Notice that Duttys 2.11 base Rom with 2.09 Radio (Not the 2.13 base Rom) It has given me almost 2 full days (listening to music as well) so try out different roms and see whats best for you.
- Another thing You might wanna do is change your band from Automatic to Manual and go from manual H & 3G to Manual EDGE the times your not using the internet because if you simple choose automatic, since the Radio for getting the H, 3G, E, GPRS is located on the bottom of the phone (I made a thread about this) sometimes it will constantly jump from one to the other therefor wasting EVEN MORE battery that if it was just on 3G or E all the time.
- also you can try out this registry Mods I've been Using for the longest time (found them somewhere on XDA), I've use them on my WIZARD, EXCALIBUR, JUNO and they seem to do wonders with the battery:
1. HKLM\Comm\AsyncMac1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0
2. HKLMComm\Irsir1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0 i cant seem to find this on my dash or shadow
3. HKLM\Comm\PPTP1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0
4. HKLM\Comm\L2TP1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0
TIP 3
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Cl ass\SDMemory_Class]
"DisablePowerManagement" = dword : 00000000
(I've also attached the cab I have for the tweaks)
So Before Buying a New battery try this out and see if you Notice any difference.
Hope it Helps

and i DO NOT want to flash a custom rom.. stability and bug-free is the only way i like my phones.. i don't care if you never had to charge your battery ever again...... I'm sticking with stock..
so yea.. in other words... i'm just screwed........
love the phone though

That sums up how i feel!!! but personaly im fine about the capacity of my battery, its just that it goes down like 3% in 10 minutes, and this is when the screen is turned off! heres an example..... i charge my phone to 100% overnight , then in the morning at 7 i unplug it and get on the bus to go to school, on my way to school i listen to music the whole bus ride. when l finnaly arrive at around 7:20 , my battery is already down to like 87%!!! ive read on alot of forums about peoples batterys dying quickly like mine, and i have tried everything, so before i go out and purchase another battery i would like to know if it could be a battery or software problem....... BTW i agree with you on that extended battery looking ugly! lol

TIPS
Besides the crappy battery that you might have it actually involves lots of things, such as ROM, Radio, Activesync etc...
- Running HTC Sense will drain your battery much more faster than running Titanium.
- Closing Unused apps that are running on the background from the task manager will help, dont use microsft direct push instead have it checked every 4hours or manual (that save A LOT of battery) also any other apps that connects to the internet automatically such as weather, twitter or facebook will drain your battery MUCH FASTER than usual.
- Hving he GPS enabled will drain your battery to ZERO In no time.
- I've came to realize that the Energy Rom's drain my battery soooooooo quick, So I stop Using energy's Rom's, I've also Notice that Duttys 2.11 base Rom with 2.09 Radio (Not the 2.13 base Rom) It has given me almost 2 full days (listening to music as well) so try out different roms and see whats best for you.
- Another thing You might wanna do is change your band from Automatic to Manual and go from manual H & 3G to Manual EDGE the times your not using the internet because if you simple choose automatic, since the Radio for getting the H, 3G, E, GPRS is located on the bottom of the phone (I made a thread about this) sometimes it will constantly jump from one to the other therefor wasting EVEN MORE battery that if it was just on 3G or E all the time.
- also you can try out this registry Mods I've been Using for the longest time (found them somewhere on XDA), I've use them on my WIZARD, EXCALIBUR, JUNO and they seem to do wonders with the battery:
1. HKLM\Comm\AsyncMac1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0
2. HKLMComm\Irsir1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0 i cant seem to find this on my dash or shadow
3. HKLM\Comm\PPTP1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0
4. HKLM\Comm\L2TP1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0
TIP 3
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Cl ass\SDMemory_Class]
"DisablePowerManagement" = dword : 00000000
(I've also attached the cab I have for the tweaks)
So Before Buying a New battery try this out and see if you Notice any difference.
Hope it Helps

Alright i setup my phone for manual downloads and ran the cab (thanks btw!), and ive disabled gps, but im keeping sense running along with energy, i will post back on this when i get home from school, since right now it is 2:54 a.m. where i am. thanks for spending all that time for the tips! if the problem persists i will try running a diffrent rom, and then ill post back again! thanks again.
I usually carry a battery box like Sanyo mobile booster when traveling. I use 5000mah version it can charge you hd2 several times over and cost around 38USD in country where i lives. I prefer this over carrying a spare battery.
alright i got an update, so from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. the battery drained down to 16% from 100% i guess thats not too bad considering i used it mildly , but still i think this is still too much drainage, i had airplane mode on, i had wifi off, and i used all the reg fixes and what not. so im gonna let it drain completly install that rom that you were talking about and see how stuff goes tommarow.

Wow, that is pretty bad. I'm normally on the go with mine from around 10am to 8pm, and use bluetooth, music, 3G, browsing, texting, a few games, and exchange/gmail/hotmail sync every 30mins. By the end of the day, the battery's usually around 50%. Have you tried different radios? they made a big difference for me.

I run Direct Push all day long starting at 7:30 AM... Right now it's 12:42AM the following day and I'm at 25% left. I don't do a lot of talking. Mostly email, texting, twitter, Internet with maybe 15 minutes total of talk time per day. I also end all tasks in the task manager before I put my phone down for any amount of time and leave wifi turned off unless I want to connect to a network.
I've found that if I'm in a location without a good signal that my battery drains a lot faster. Searching for a signal is taxing the battery... Lucky for me I'm always in really good 3G spots. House and office both have full 3G bars.
I'm running stock everything.
If I turn off direct push, I'll use like 25% over the course of like 15 hours... It lasts almost two full days...
When I get a new phone or any gadget with a lithium ion battery, I always make sure to drain the battery completely and fully recharge with the power off at least for the first two charges to condition it. It really does make the battery hold a charge for a longer period. Transformers is a good way to drain this phone... With my HD2 I let the battery drain completely twice with two "power off" full recharges. By completely drain, I mean, keep turning it back on until eventually it won't turn on at all...
I noticed with this phone that once the battery was completely drained, that I had to actually remove the battery and put it back in so that it would even charge... I thought that was weird, but no big deal... I'm also pretty good about letting it completely drain at least once during the week with a "phone off" full recharge...

Update: alright today after a full discharge and then a full charge overnight i ran the phone using kumars rom along with the 2.09 radio and the power saver on sbs tweaks and those reg edits that tuppacc gave me. today i left the wifi and the phone function on, and yesterday i didnt, anyway once again i used it mildly , but a little bit more then yesterday, so from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. it went from 100% to 10% , which to me is still crappy, so i think im gonna go ahead and order a new battery and see if thats whats wrong.

To me that's good. I can barely get 4 hours from 100% to about 10%. Well that's because I use it non stop, surfing the web. Now during the night without touching it i get like 10% drained during 7-8 hours.

You can try to calibrate your Battery, download it completely, and load it 100%(leave it connected to the load about two hours after the maximum capacity). That should fix the problem.
You can try another rom otherwhise newest and see if the same, our hd2 is not designed to run android, and the battery is spent faster.
Finally also there exists the case of which the battery that you have bought (if it is not original of HTC) could give less performance.

Battery calibration has been proven to be useless. @ OP, what's your currentwidget drain on standby in Airplane mode?

Just checking, you're taking these readings immediately after waking the phone from standby right? Everything else you're doing seems to be perfectly fine and since you're using a NAND ROM I can rule out a problem I once had with some SD builds where the drain would rise to 61 mA.

This was the fix but I very strongly doubt it would work. The type of battery shouldn't make a difference but I was using the stock one. I couldn't consistently get 3mA but at the same time it was never more than 6 and usually on 4 (or 2 in airplane mode).
