Hello xda pals !
lol
I have an Apache with the last Wm 6.1 from kitchen's website.
Its been a while i noticed that the battery for phone only take 2 .. to 3 days to get depleeted...
I made some tests... as music only.. it takes 3.. almost..4 hours to get depleeted...
at wifi and a skype call it takes 20 minutes to get depleeted...
at wifi connected waiting.. it takes 40 minutes to get depleeted...
i think thats too little time for this battery and phone... lol
some friend with other phones can stay wifi connected for hours...
is it a battery problem ? a radio problem ? rom problem ? know issue ?
I would be gratefull for any help and possible solutions..
thank you !!!!!
Happy owner of a Hero for 2 weeks now, but I have a problem with HTC Sync 2.0.4:
When the Hero is not connected to my notebook (XP SP3), there is some activity on the notebook every 4 seconds, shown as a short flash of an hourglass next to my mouse pointer.
It took me a couple of hours to pinpoint this back to HTC Sync. Apparently, one of the processes needed for HTC Sync, HTCVBTServer.exe, keeps very active all the time even when the Hero is disconnected. Every 4 seconds, it spawns and kills a new instance of an other process called FsynSrvStarter.exe.
Leading to the very annoying flashing hourglass every 4 seconds.
I found some more information on this:
http://www.htcforums.com/hero-touch-f40/htc-sync-maxes-out-memory-t2791.html
The only way of stopping the flashing hourglass is killing the process HTCVBTServer.exe in Windows Task Manager.. Of course, HTC Sync doesn't work anymore after that, even after restarting HTCVBTServer.exe.
My request:
I want to install the previous version of HTC Sync (I think it was called 2.0.2) that was on the SD card, to see if that version has the same problem. Stupidly enough, I formatted my SD card and lost the program file. I've looked around everywhere on the internet (including htc.com), without success.
Is anybody willing to help me and send the install file of HTC Sync 2.0.2 to me or provide me with a download link?
I appreciate your help!
Marc
I can't help you with the older version as I deleted it from the SD card too.
I wish they'd make HTC sync start when you plugged the Hero in, and then have it shut down (and all related processes) when you unplugged it. Surely it can't be that hard.
I don't like loads of processes running unnecessarily.
Kadison, I totally agree.
Is nobody else having the problem I described?
And nobody who has version 2.0.2 for me?
I have monitored the process HTCVBTServer.exe with Process Explorer: with the Hero disconnected from the pc, it creates two additional handles every 4 seconds (explaining the flashing hourglass). 20.000 handles per 24 hrs, if I'd leave my pc on for a couple of days XP will certainly crash.
Serious bug! And annoying hourglass every 4 seconds..
I have found a workaround by suspending HTCVBTServer when my Hero is disconnected and resuming it before I sync, but would appreciate to get version 2.0.2 from somebody and see if that works better.
BTW I contacted HTC via email: 'we do not have older version, try to get from somebody else. RE: problem described: please reinstall'. ??!!
Cheers,
Marc

If you can wait a while, I'll have a look at my old SD card (the one that came with the phone) and see if 2.0.2 is still on it.
Ok - I looked, what I have seems to have 2 version names i.e. 12.0.0.58851 AND 2.0.2 - would that be right?
Hi Vonne,
2.0.2 is the one I'm looking for.
As the file will be around 40MB in size, can you please upload it to Rapidshare and PM the file ID that you get from Rapidshare to me?
Uploading will take quite some time I'm afraid, I hope this isn't too much of a problem for you.
Thanks for helping me out!
Cheers Marc
Well, in case somebody else has the same unwanted behaviour of HTC Sync 2.0.4:
Vonne was so kind to send a copy of her 2.0.2 version to me (thanks Vonne!), which I installed after uninstalling 2.0.4.
Result: 2.0.2 has the same problem as 2.0.4!
The culprit process HCTVBTServer.exe still leaks handles (2 additional handles every 4 seconds) when the Hero is disconnected from the pc.
As a workaround I now suspend and resume HCTVBTServer manually (well, actually via 2 tiny batch programs on my desktop), to get rid of the blinking hourglass icon and several thousands of leaked memory handles.
Cheers, Marc
Pity it didn't work! I'm curious though to know if it's HTC Sync that's causing the annoying hourglass? I use a netbook and it seems to have a million background processes that cause a spinning hourglass
I too have hourglasses flashing now and then due to background processes doing stuff, but never one at a regular interval like this (every 4 seconds).
Googled around a bit and found the link mentioned in my startpost. One of the guys in that link had discovered that one of the four HTC Sync processes (HTCVBTServer) is leaking handles when the phone is disconnected. Killing this process via the Windows Task Manager stopped my flashing hourglass, so: gotcha!
Marc
haha, well, there I was going along blithely ignoring flashing hourglasses all over the place.....turns out I do have one that flashes ever 4 seconds...just checked! Don't know if I have the energy to be turning stuff on and off though.
Hello all,
Recently started encountering a strange problem four days ago with Palringo on my HTC HD2, UK T-Mobile.
I am having strouble staying connected to Palringo via G/3G/HSDPA on this handset despite having a rock solid connection beforehand. When connected up to my PC or a works PC (where it uses the PC's internet connection) I am faced with this same disconnecting issue.
I tried various troubleshooting ideas before resetting my phone to factory defaults, installing only Palringo and connecting up that way but to no avail. The connection to Palringo was still dropping despite my phones internet connection being totally stable.
YouTube, websurfing and other online activities do not seem to be affected, only Palringo.
I cannot detect any sort of pattern to the disconnects as they seem to appear frequently, whether I have the handset active constantly, lock the screen or keep Palringo's window at the front. It seems to be more prevailant when I lock the screen and come back 10-20 seconds later but this is not always the case.
Palringo servers seem to be okay too or at least reporting no faults on their forum. Am I looking at an awkward and complex problem?
At my wits end right now with it. Not sure where to turn to next for a solution.
HTC HD2
T-Mobile UK
ROM: 1.48 Unbranded
My phone has currently just been hard reset and has Palringo installed. No other programs, tweaks or fixes have been installed.
Palringo 2.3.0 svn-33287 (Premium User)
Any info available on request
yes, the reconnect pending issue, i remember...
i don't know which if not all the following solved the problem for me:
- i use palringo beta
- i use radio 2.10 but i also remember it working with some other versions as well
- i use artemis roms
oh, your rom is so old... u sould at least try to upgrade to stock 1.66

I do not have a 'reconnect pending' issue. Palringo connects, logs me in and then disconnects... it then reconnects without any problems and the cycle repeats endlessly.

You inadvertently might have helped.
I flashed the 1.66 official non-branded ROM and Palringo seems to be okay. Will have to wait until tomorrow to give it it's proper test but preliminary results seem positive.

I had no issues for months (as mentioned in my first post) then suddenly it gave me hassle.
Flashed up to an unbranded 1.66 ROM and the problem seems to be solved. No idea why the issue started.
Tested it this morning whilst travelling to and from an appointment, flashing the ROM to 1.66 has not helped.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
a new radio perhaps...
you must have 2.07.51.22_2 now but you could also try 2.09.51.03 or 2.10.50.19_2

Not a big fan of having to change the radio though. Any other reason why I would have such problems with just 1 single program?
Bump - This issue is giving me a headache.
sorry I can't help you, because I have a similar problem. Palringo stays connected even thought reconnects all the time. When leaving a conversation open and not writing for an hour, it's full of status update (disconnected -> logged in).
But the thing that really really annoys me is how much it drains my battery. Having Palringo running (power saving mode is a joke, it changes nothing!) drains my battery 100% faster. While my phone lasts 2 days, with palringo it lasts a day. That's the main reason I'm not letting palringo run all the time anymore.

Strange issue isn't it? Palringo forums are like pulling teeth and I can't go back to Beejive.
Re: your battery drain, I don't have it really. I play music for ~2 hours per day and have Palringo on + connected (when it connected and stayed connected) for ~8-10 hours and still end up with battery. That includes use of Palringo throughout the day though heavy use would drain the battery much quicker.

I found someone on the Palringo website with the sameissue.
To resolve it, it seems they just created a new Palringo account and it worked fine after that. As a Premium User, I am very hesitant to do such a thing but it might work for you!
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!

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.

I have been using cooked roms on my blackstone for a while now. However, my concern from the beginning has been that these are battery drainer.
I bought it second hand and it had call time of around 60 Hours both IN and OUT.
On 6.1, I used internet very little, but I used to call a lot and listen to music as well for about 2-3 hours a day. In that OS, it used to go up to 3 days.
Then I came into the world of xda-developers and things changed . The battery didn't last for more than a day and a half with the usage I mentioned above. That prompted me to buy new battery.
Since then, On cooked ROM's, I leave my email check for every 15 minutes and weather to an hour. With this usage it hardly last for 2 days on the new battery and I hardly make a call!!
If I make calls, use Opera, it would die in literally half a day.
Can people share their experiences about battery life and cooked roms etc???
I really dont want to go back to 6.1 and I want to keep using 6.5 but the battery issues are really annoying now.
I have used pretty much all the ROM's (Energy, PQD, XannyTech, KWBR, blackStonehenge) with same usage and all of them have yielded same results so it's not ROM based...
Cheers.
I'm using the last ROM that Dutty made for us. With 6 email accounts checking every 15 minutes and an Outlook push account, blue tooth enabled and sometimes an hour of phone use. My phone can't go more than 4 hours on a charge.
Thanks for the heads up. In a few hours I´m getting my own Blackstone with a stock OS. I was already set to change the ROM but with this post will have to delay it a bit until a fix can be found.
Oh, it wasn't that bad at first, it could go a full day. It's just as you add programs and then remove them things get progressively worse. I really need to flash it again to clean it up but I hate having to set everything up again. I'm not a habitual flasher

Luckily, I have found one.
All you need to do is stop using your mobile on 3G.
I have tested it on Energy ROM. With 3G switched on, it lost around 25% of charge in a day on email check for every 15 min and weather for half hour. without any calls.
With 3G switched off and the rest of settings, the charge had only gone down by 12% and that included a couple of calls.
To be honest, I dont think you really need 3G unless you are using internet a lot. Even then, you may switch it on and switch it back off.
I will be trying the new MaxSense UI as well to see whether that helps the battery or not!!
