battery conditioning

any tips for battery conditioning, my battery life is a joke.
bb

Im currently using shaminix 2.2 lite rom. I get amazing battery life. with normal use over a standard 16 hour day my battery life is at no less than 70% before I charge it at night.

I also use the 1.38 radio that may make the most difference. Good luck the Herm is a battery hungry beast.

Is that with Push mail ON?

Yep I have it set to download 4 accounts every two hours. With all notifications turned off though.

My Good Freind, install the attached file, but will have a small effect on the stability, Thanks to It's Right
if you want to read more, go to TNT.SE Rom, and read about it....

Another battery problem

Hi all
I'm a new member.
Great forum I have to say
I have a new battery after the old one started draining itself
in under a day, no problems before that, the new battery is doing the same,
I have the phone set to "turn off power if not used for 3 mins" &
running window mobile 6.5 test (before I ran windows 6)
I'm just using it as a phone really & not much else, can't figure out
why it's draining the battery so fast!
yesterday it told me the battery was really low but I left it
for around 10 hours & it was still on but had the same low power level
as the day before
any help is appreciated.

I'm also interested in that. I have a 2+ year old battery, and now with 3g it lasts 30 minutes if browsing full....
thanks!
PS: sparks72, how long does the new battery work? what are the specs of the battery?

Hi diegolaz
Battery drains from 99% when fully charged to 80% in a few seconds!
can last all day if handset isn't used but after only a couple of short calls drains dramatically & nags me for a recharge.
The new battery is a 3.7V DC Li-ion 1350mAh.
manufacturer is Celxpert Energy CO Ltd. (China)

Strangely I've been having battery drain problems too, most notably when using 3g data or wifi. Thing is I do have 2 batteries to test with and one of them is not very old. I'm running radio 1.54.07.00 which I have been using for a long time, long enough to remember not having problems with it.
I started keeping a log, here is my results for today:
3:26pm, batter starts at 79%
4:40pm = 71%
8:30pm = 51%
9:30pm = 19%
Between 8:30 and 9:30 i did a hard reset, installed some apps, used wifi for a bit to download the apps and get my exchange account setup, and got/sent some text messages. Seems like a pretty huge drop.
Does anyone know of an app that can report current power drain on the Hermes. I remember having something like that for my 8125
Today I just ordered a new OEM battery off of ebay for cheap just to see if it makes any difference, I recommend you all to do the same. It's the first step of the process of elimination....maybe both batteries I have really are bunk...or that i'm spoiled on my TILT's battery life.

Also turn off "beam" that seems to be on by default.

using wifi will drain the battery pretty fast anyway, but i would also check that your rom is not activating wifi on the sly, i had it when i cooked a rom using josh's kitchen and thought it was my battery that was knackered, turned out it was the wifi switching on constantly ,but i had no indication it was on. Not saying that is your problem , but worth checking all the same

Nothing is on in the background.
Battery still draining fast

The battery problem for me happened when I upgraded from WM5 to WM6,
even though I have had my Hermes since 2007 (brand new) I only started using it in Feb 2009. (had enough phones to deal with!!)
I tested my old OEM battery & their doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it, very confusing.

Well i got the new battery in, and in 24 hours i went from 96% to 8% at a drain rate of 3.66% an hour. This is good news, I guess those two other batteries I have are wasted :-/ , but at least the TYTN is ok.

I am also facing the exact problem. But I don't think if it is the problem of battery. I think it's some problem with ROM version..
Any help is appriciated.

I have tried several different ROMs but the battery still drains quickly.

Can anyone on this forum shed some light on this problem at all ?
Have any of the developers experienced battery drain problems ?
Does anyone have a solution ?
Thank's

[Q] Battery Life

I use my HTC HD2 a lot, so the battery drains quite quickly. I'm currently using android 2.3.5 on Hyperdroid CM7.
The battery life is decent, but I can sometimes barely get through one day with only texting and web browsing.
For those who have used both android and 7 mango, can you please compare the battery lives? I'm thinking of making the switch if it means that I can get more usage.

I guess it's NAND Android? For me, WM 6.5 had always the best battery life but with the camera trick I get slightly better battery life in WP7 mango than in Android...
Atm I'm on WP7 mango (yuki/xbmod bttf) and I can get easily through a day (texting, surfing over wifi and some gaming)...

WM 6.5 was the best, but WP7 with old radio (2.12 without T) is near the WM 6.5 autonomy.
Android in 2.2, 2.3.2, CM7, ... was everytime to drainy to have a daily use. Just good enough to play whan plugged to a charger.

What rom do you suggest I use for best battery life?

Hmm, I'm using the Back To The Future Rom updated to mango including the cleanup (that one made the battery life slightly better)
I have 5mAh drain (after battery trick) when in standby and with moderate use it lasts 2 days. With heavy usage easily one day...

I started out with a HTC Touch Pro. Batt. life was okay
Then I got a Milestone (1): Batterylife was ... okay (1 day)
Then I got a Milestone 2 : Batterylife was similar to MS1 (about 1 day)
THEN I got an HTC HD2 and went for MIUI directly. Battery Life was okay also about 1 day. Then I started using SetCPU wich extended my BattLife ENORMOUSLY. I go from about 6 in the morning until about 12 in the night by HEAVY useage (BT almost all the time, PushMail, FB Chat, WIFI running, listening to music via AD2P all the time).
Then I got bored and decided to mess up my life - so I installed WP7. Took me 3 days to install and get unlocked. Don't misunderstand me: I love the OS. I think WP7 is great in means of style and usability. But besides BT-problems, and Market quality, I went back to MIUI mainly because of one thing: THE BATTERY. With BT running and WiFi on, worst days only got me 5 hours of battery time. Totally unacceptable.
As soon as BatteryLife is improved, I will go back to WP7!

I installed CM7 2.3.5 and Mango 7720, Mango has better battery life than CM7.

Even with SetCPU runnning?

i have usually gotten better battery life out of the miui NAND builds than mango but I'm sure if its because i'm usually playing games on mango than i am on android

I'm having such a different experience with battery life. Mango was an awful drain. Camera trick (if I did it correctly) didn't do anything for me and it seemed impossible to gain a full charge while WP7 was running. Had to boot into Magldr to get a full charge. Just wasn't worth it for 6-8 hours with very light use.
Enter CM7 Gingerbread 2.3.6 NAND. Good to decent battery life.
If I could get Mango to perform the way all of you are getting it to, I'd love to switch back. I'm really learning to like Android, as I understand more about how it works, but I'd enjoy more of the WP7 experience.

So that's what I'm doing: record one second video in the camera ("camera trick")
And remember to do it after every reboot of the phone...
To get a full charge, try to use the battery indicator level fix:

(You don't have to do this all the time... just once)
Try it, enjoy it

Found out that part of my battery drain issue was my SD card. Though my Kingston 8GB class 2 "seemed" to be working fine, I realized the strain it was putting on WP7 after I upgraded to a PNY 16GB class 4. It's much faster now and the drain is much lower. turning off wi-fi helps too.

The only solution that worked for me amongst all the options (based on my experience)
1. Tried the camera trick - NOT WORKED
2. Followed the steps below - NOT WORKED
* Boot the phone to MAGLDR
* Select "Reset" option from the menu
* Phone reboots normally
3. Hard reset the phone - NOT WORKED
4. Charge the phone in magldr USB storage option - NOT WORKED
5. Finally, flashed the 2.12 radio, did the camera trick (not sure if its relevant). The battery life has improved dramatically. It lasts more than 24 hours and still running (26% left) - WORKED.
Follow the thread below to download the 2.12 radio

Second HD2 battery drain problem

hi everyone,
i have HD2 for 3 years (his battery drain in standby is 5-10 mA) and recently i bought second one, and I'm having problem with his battery drain in standby it never goes under 40mA (with airplane on is the same thing). i did task 29, put the same radio (2.15.50.14), same clk and same rom (NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.7), I try juice defender and it is always above 40mA. On cpu spy I see that phone is in deep sleep 90% of time (similar like my first HD2). I try couple difrent roms and it never goes under 40mA in standby. i swap battery an it didnt change anything. is there anything that i could try or is it that some HD2 just cant get normal standby battery drain? what should I do, any advice will bi appreciated.
thx in advance

Seems like you've tried a fair amount, the only thing I can think of is that the hardware of the new HD2 is somehow faulty. Is the same issue present with all ROMs?

yes, with every (four) ROM standby battery drain is above 40 mA, I could try put back win 6.5 but that isn't why I bought this phone

A long shot, but perhaps a dodgy battery pin? Or maybe a dirty connection plate on the battery?
Have you switched the batteries to confirm its the phone not the battery?

yes I switch battery and it is the same, still big battery drain on second HD2 and normal on first. battery pins are clear an they looks to be good.

update,
first I put back win mobile 6.5 and battery would drain from 100% to 0% in 30 hours in standby , it is little bit better than android because on android battery last around 16 hours but still it is short standby time. After that I switch just motherboard from bad hd2 to good one and battery drain was bad where the second motherboard was installed, so it is something with motherboard or cpu or gpu and it is hardware problem. Maybe stronger battery could help bit, don't know what to do next

i reckon that 16hrs when its on android is good for a hd2 i have a hd2 with extended andina battery in i JUST get a full days use (ie 8am 2 10pm) with normal use thru out the day no mater what rom i have try'd and tbh ive try'd a lot and there on par with each other but if you have all the stuf on ,gps Bluetooth then i get about 6 hrs from it
as i have said b4 this phone was never ment to run android hence why the battery is better in winmo

I agree with you it that it isn't made for android, but there is to big deference between two hd2 that i have, anyway can you send me link of extended battery and what capacity is it?

i dont know ware you in the world but you can search worldwide id wait if you cant get one and see if one pops up ,also these gold hd2 batterys you see on there are crap ive try'd one there no better than the htc org battery the andida has a good name but you get what you pay for
have you tr'd a bigger partion on it you may have bad blocks or could be or have been overheated in the past (processor) thats also common i use the nexus 4.0.4 rom and i find it ok

to be honest i don't know, i got it last week for low price as used phone whit win mobile on. i did tray bigger partition it didnt help. but i think it might be damaged because last night I turned it off when it was on 20% battery (to save battery) and this morning I couldn't turn it on, battery was dead, so i think it has some hardware malfunction. i will try to find bigger battery (double size in capacity and in size), also don't believe in gold battery , not for that price, thanks for replay

problems with battery measurer of s3 neo (i9301i)

Well.
My phone an i9301i (samsung s3 neo spain).
My battery anker 7200 mah.
My ROM now is cyano 4.4.4. Optimized with vulpix rc4.
My problem.
When i use muy phone.. The battery drains quickly. For example facebook in browser intermitently in 8 hours can drain an 50%. I know that battery can do 12-16 hours of screen up. I unplugged The battery from the phone and when the system is up. The measurer of the phone marks an 85-90 %. I'm crazy....
I calibrated the battery in every posible way view in internet and nothing works.
Any ideas.
Is an ROM bug?
Is the ROM only prepared for the stock battery of 2100mah?
Thanks and sorry for my english. Im spanish

Well there ware similar problems before dating to older unofficial CM days that battery doesn't change up to 100% properly. Regularly normal boot up uses 2~3% of normal battery. Chrome does eat battery abnormally much more than web view or Gecko based browsers. Think you're results are actually as they should be concerning SOT time wile browsing but I don't see a reason for complaining there. I use regular sized Anker 2200 mAh & on Official CM12.1 my SOT varies from 4+ h to 6+h depending what I am doing with it & where I am.

I don't know whats the problem. But android shows a battery drain abnormally faster. The battery charge is normal.
Why the difference is much bigger. When the battery arribes a 0 the phone is off...... But in the battery there is an 30-40-50 % energy ....
Im crazy...

Well it actually is regulated by the voltage level & not a capacity... Switch the ROM.

anker battery 7200mah i used too...
just with replace trick was used all capacity of battery
replace the battery and continue use of it... u have higher % after replace and reconnect

Zola. I"ve installed cyano 5.1.1 official. I will say if goles wrong por well.
Needforspiz..... Thats is what i do. But its not the best thing for use The phone. I wish the correct use of battery measurement.
Thanks for yours answers

Somehow android notify the battery is 7200 Mah??????.
i think that this is a value android not change.
The battery has 4 months. The phone has 1 year and half.
What's the problem. Phone or Android?????.................................
Thanks for answer me.
