Hi, I'm new in this forum, and I don't speack English well, so I want to excuse me!
I have the new Touch HD, at the beginning I changed immediately the original ROM with a new one, I installed a lot of programs, and everything woked very well for two weeks, but then I had a big problems with battery...a the first the battery was very good, -10/15% per day, but suddenly after two weeks the battery lose 1% of its charge every 2/5 mintes...if I disconnect the power when the battery is 100%, after one hour without use (and also without wifi, BT and GPS), I have 70% of charge!
I try to change the ROM, a friend suggested me a new upgrade for Radio, but I didn't resolve my problem!
Now I buy a new battery online in htcstore, but if I put my mobile in "Fly mode" the battery work very very good!
I want to say that here normally I have the signal indicator with 2/3 nicks, so the signal is good!
Someone can help me?...someone have my same problem?
Thank you so much fo everything!
Greetings, Eddy
the battery will be used up quickly if your fone is constantly searching in and out for a 3g signal, regardless of 2g signal strength
have you got wifi on?
bluetooth?
a gps app running?
what other apps do you have running in background? some really poll the cpu a lot and will lead to battery drain
other than a dodgy battery, it must be some software running that is using up the battery
Thank you for aswering!
In background normally I have SMS o Contacs, but also if I close every programs in background the battery doesn't work well!
No, Bluetooth is OFF, GPS and WI-FI are OFF, I use telephone just with gsm!
Also when I write message, normally I write a message so long (3/4 messages), after wirting, the battery lost 10%, and I didn't have this problems at the biginning!
I left my mobile on also during the night, and in the morning I had again 100% of charge...now 100% it's a far dream!
try turning off the autoadjust for the screen and setting it at a medium setting, also make sure the backlight turns off after a minute or less.
its a huge screen and will burn up power, although saying that i watched a full length film on my HD the other day and only used 20% in 1.5hrs
if no progs are running in the background and its not a display issue (how have you checked whats running btw? need more than just WM taskmanager, try mem maid or similar) and the problem is not there when in flight mode. then i can only assume its the rom you are using, try another with a different radio rom in it
i found roms with 1.10 radio to be better than 1.09. try this rom (mulitlanguage) works good for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465637
edit: have you got HDTweak installed? its good to configure the data to auto turnoff after 1 minute or so (even in gsm gprs could be running)
I tried to setup the new ROM but I didn't resolve the problem!
If I leave my mobile only with GSM on, without use it, without call and sms, the battery lost 2% in 30 minutes, and it's not normal!
If I use it, change settings, write message, the battery lose 5% in five minutes!
I don't know what I have to do...this mobilie now can't live without a power connection!
I want say also that at the beginning some application in my HTC wanted "HTCAPI.dll" because they didn't found into the mobile...so I found this dll online and I did copy/paste into the directory!
It can gave me problems with battery?....I don't know how it's possible, but I don't know!
Try to buy or borrow another HD battery and compare them. You should know the problem then.
Of course, I alredy bought it online, and I'm waiting to get the shipping!
But it's very strange that a battery stop to work suddenly, but I know that there are a lot of people who have my same problem!
If i were you, i would flash back the original rom and do a hard reset. Then, without installing anything on the device, see if the problem persists.
Thank you ardsar...I want to try....can you tell me, what I have to do to obtain the original product?...without hardspl and new rom?...like the first time that I turned on this HD! Thank you so much!
For example, I have your same SPL and ROM at the moment!
Hi Ardsar, I flashed my ROM and SPL (brand), and now my mobile is like the original but....do you know Teeter?...I played 2 minutes, I completed 3 levels, and from 85% the battery is now at 79%...
Hi guys...yesterday I did a lot ot tests, but without positive results, but I fund out new problems:
1)The bettery lose a lot of charge also if my Blackstone is offline, when I use it with TouchFLO, Teeter, SMS, Settings...everytime!
2)I have near to icon of signal, the simbol of GPRS, but sometimes it changes with the simbol H and with this new symbol, the signal falls and to resolve it, I have to wait a long ore reset the mobile.
Now I'm not sure that the "target" is the battery...I don't know, I changed also the Radio ROM with new last, but the problem is not over!
Before put it into garbage case, someone can suggest me something to try?
...I will never bring it to Assistence HTC, because I will have to wait some months, and I didn't pay 500€ to have it "under repairing"
Do you have SK Tools 4.4.6 or another battery monitor installed?
With SK Tools, you can see under the sys info the current battery use. My usage is in standby with lighted display -100mA. What's normal?
My battery is also very empty. Last evening i had 54%. This morning, the phone was off, no power any more.
No, now I will try this tool!
But I think that you also have problem with battery, becase the firsts days that I had my HD, I left my mobile on the whole night with 100% and in the morning I had 100%...I had 99% at lunch time!And a lot of friends that have this mobile have the battery so strong, like me at the beginning...so...I'm getting angry
i have this problem too. had my HD for 2 weeks coming to 3 now and my battery seems to deplect very fast, totally different when i had it. could be becoz of the wallpaper and 3rd party theme i had
For me, it seems it's a software or anything else that needs so much battery power, perhaps the hotfixes or something else.
Sadly, the whole battery monitor progs don't show the needed power per running process, only the current usage. Can anyone with a "good" battery life cann post his current usage? (For expample with SK Tools System Information/battery supply)
Is the backup battery always at 0%?
Battlog
How about this. You can log your activities and see how much battery current (discharge) each application is using by the ma figure. It produces a .log file but if you change it to .txt you can open it up in a text editor.
Hope it helps.
EDIT: Just found out there is better info on it here on XDA Raphael forum. Credits to PalladiumTD for this app.
Today I tried a new battery, and also with a good battery, I have the same problem...so I think that I have to send my mobile to HTC service and ask for a new one, because it can be an internal problem, maybe of motherboard, radio, or I don't know...but it's sure that is hardware problem!
Did you a hard reset and installed nothing else?
Yes, I did...I alredy unpacked it and monday I will send it to HTC service....I hope that they will sed me a new one....a friend said to me that maybe this problem for them is called DOA (dead on arrived) and in this case they have just to change it!I hope so!....but I don't like...!
I know that I can reset it pushing the volume control ecc.....someone knows it exactly?Thank you!
Hi guys I need your help for this problem.
The camera won't let me take photos using the flash leds, I tap the icon but nothing happens...it won't change.
The thing is that it worked fine and smooth until yesterday (as far as I remember), I only installed some "innocent" cabs and the hotfixes. Never changed the ROM but now, after the hotfixes, it shows me 2 different versions: when the phone starts it says 1.48.71294 but when I go in phone informations it says ROM 1.48.408.1 (71294) ITA (btw, I'm italian...). Is it the same thing or what?
Now I'm downloading the ROM from the htc support :/. Will it help? donno yet.
The phone works perfect, just this camera thingy is driving me mad. 3 or 4 hard resets didn't help.
Try help me out (I'll go up on the roof and throw my Leo far far away...).
Thx in advance.
EDIT: SOLVED
hi,
great to know your problem got solved. can you please post the solution?
thanks
Funny how it got solved: another hard reset and here I go.
Sorry but this is it.
And make sure your batter is above the minimum charge amount for the camera app to use the flash. I've seen various amounts on here, ranging from 20% to 50%. I'd suggest that if your flash isn't working in the camera app, that's probably your problem. Just make sure you're charged to at least 50%.

this is what I was mumble-mumble thinking last night but the battery was fully charged.
It seems like this smartphone is a work-in-progress but I'm positive and still consider that the price is worth.
I had the same problem: at the beginning I was scared something went wrong on my device. Later I found that under 20% the led flash is disabled by default to save battery.... try, it's the right percentage...
What solved? Share with us!
Not having the flash available under 20% is a real pain - I don't like having my hand held because HTC won't let me decide if the pic I want to take is more important or having my phone last for some extra time.
Does anybody know the registry tweak or fix to enable the flash until the battery is spent?
There's none.
The drain of the flash is so high that if it stayed active under 20% the voltage drop on the battery would most likely cause your HD2 to just shut down instantly when it gives the bright flash when taking the photo.
battery under 30% the device wont allow you to use the flash.

Hi,
My battery is getting very low very quickly when using cooked ROM'S. I've cooked them via USPL. Can this be the reason ?
With HSPL I had less issues. I have to charge my phone daily, altough not using that often..
You tried different radios?
What do you mean with radios ? Different ROMs ?
Yesterday I installed the orig!inal stock one again, and battery was empty again this morning
Read the wiki about radios then check this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466274
installing the cooked rom with hspl or uspl should make no difference in battery drain. It is possible that it's the radio as stated above. It could be just a setting like constant data being turned on (or worse Push is enabled). Also, it could be the battery dying.
Also check if other options are enabled such as Beam or your Data Connection (it may be set to roam).
Charge with phone off
Try draining the battery to about 5%, Turn phone off. Charge fully.
Repeat this process 2 or 3 times.
It's worked for me before.
Thanks for all your tips guys..Can I just install the latest radio without any issues ? Is this supported by HTC ? Do I loose any guarantee when this is performed ?

Yes, you can install the latest radio (1.17) with the matching rilphone version (1.14). Hopefully you should not have any issues but remember that these Radio versions are specific to regions, so it may or may not work better for you - just because you have the latest Radio version does not mean it will work better for you. When I had my HD, I upgraded to Radio 1.17 with Rilphone 1.14 (not if its already cooked into the ROM), this resulted in better reception and signal strength, better battery consumption, etc. If you do not notice any improvement after flashing to another Radio version, just flash to another and see which one works for you. By flashing your Radio version from stock, this will void your guarantee as you are changing from your stock Radio version to an updated version. This is the same when upgrading to another ROM (custom) from stock.
You can always revert back to stock ROM and Radio versions when required, so do not worry
Device and battery were send to repair center. No problems found there. Tonight charged completely, this morning only 50% left, at noon completely empty. I am now using L26HDLEOV4_NLD with radio 1.13.25.24 / 52.62.25.34U. iIt seems I cannot update radio with this ROM. I could before I uploaded this rom, but the rom overwrote the radio again. A possible reason could be the microSD card (as said by repair center) but cannot see this as a reason. Any help is appreciated !!! Thanks in advance
Run this little prog and report back what your drain is.
Give it a while and it still runs when the screen goes to sleep.
My results show a drain of minus 31mA when sleeping.

I had this type of problem (almost similar).Battery drained drastically (more than 60% in less than 5 hours)....I'm listing down what i did...let me know if this helps.
I had this problem mainly when i
(1) Installed 6.5 roms,
(2) changed my geographic location
(3) changed my simcard.
I'm stating them because bcoz i did these things simultaneously.
bcoz of extensive battery drain,I even bought a new battery and tested my old one with a friend in HTC service center (my old battery worked well with his HD).but my new battery behaved same as old, in my handset.
then i tried "one -at-a-time" approach.
I switched back to 6.1 roms....no change
i couldn't shift back to my old geographic location (so i set it as least)
I swapped the sim card of another friend and checked with intial charge of 60% for the whole night...guess what?...it worked....
whenever you subscribe for new service better get to know if your provider has better coverage in your locality..
after installing sim card..just observe the letter which appears to right of signal bar on task bar....if the letter (in my case it is "E") appears inside a checkered box...it means your phone (i mean battery is dying to get hold of signal) will drain faster than you expect even without being touched!!!
from my experience...signal strength/coverage plays equally important role as any other parameter...now i'm using another sim card from same service provider but plan is different...my phone now behaves as good as it was
excuse my tedious essay...but i think cost of HD justifies this
P.S:This is an outcome my own experience
Let me know if this helps
My battery test was saying -134Ma in enlightened screen mode, -68Ma in dark screen mode and -32Ma in sleep mode...
Hi,
I always have an E in my start menu task bar... so this is not good :-(
I tried 2 batteries and already received a new HTC device.
I did not have issues with battery with previous device.
So or the motherboard or the SIM card can be issue. I also read about SD card with can drain attery ?
Your battery drain looks fine.
I would look at the possibility that the device is not charging the battery fully.
It indicates 100% when it is in fact only part charged.

I agree with Andrew. Did you try what I suggested earlier? This method is supposed to reset the battery ie. make the phone charge it to 100% rather than 40 -50-60 etc. It worked for me and I was going nuts with the same problem.
Also make sure you have wifi set to turn off when you go into sleep mode.
Sammy
When my battery is fully charged to 100% it shows green so I assume it is also a 100% charge, not ?
Making me nuts also.
This afternoon completely charged after fully drained, now again 66% :-(
Last night I disabled phone mode (so went to flight mode) and battery only got from 56% to 53% so it has something to do with polling the network constantly I guess ?
Really dumb question.
If I have updated my ROM from Stock to Miri's ROM WM 6.5 Rev 21.
Is it possible to update the Radio without messing with the ROM or is it like both have to be installed at the same time.
If I can change my Radio without messing with ROM, how do I do that?
Many Thanks.

i had the same problem and found out that it was because i had a program running that constantly searches for a 3g data signal.... when you look in Wireless controls in settings tab does the data connection tab keep turning on and off???????????
i had to delete the prob from win startup and it wasnt in the remove prog under settings. hope this helps a bit. roaddogg!
Hi

The battery meter seems to decrease soooo fast its un real
I get about 10 hours out of a full charge
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??

Hi,
My battery runs out very fast. I use ROM 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR
Radio version 2.06.51.07.
I try minimizing the 3g use, wlan is off, BT is off, no programs in the task manager... I have tried it all, but with no luck.
The battery power disappears rapidly.... Any suggestions?
I have noticed a problem with all Android ports Enclair and Froyo, when the device go on standby the screen is not really turned off, if you look carefully under a light you can see a bar that is moving from down to up, completing all the screen surface and restarting, the bar is a little more clear than the dark of the powered off screen.
The backlight is turned off but seem the pixels are working, could be this the reason for why the battery performance are not the best?
it is being reported the WM ROM that u are using affects this.. what ROM are u using'?
Now i'm using
Artemis ROM V26.1 ITA
RADIO 2.10.50.28_2
Tried with the last EnergyROM and same problem.
I remember a user some days ago posted a video where to see the problem.

Yeah, power managemen is not yet optimal (4-5% of battery consuption in standby every hour with wifi,bluetooth,sync and 3G disabled), with WinMO less than 10% after one full day.
But they have made a good work!!!!!
