OpenTouch problems!

Hey everyone, I hate asking questions in forums...i never feel i did enough searching, but i think i did enough this time.
I have been using OpenTouch Biggy v3.0 for quite sometime now on my wing. It runs pretty well, but i had an issue where my battery went from lasting close to 2 days, to lasting half a day or so. My phone habits didn't change nor did any settings, So i reinstalled and the battery went back to lasting 2 days again. But when i was researching i seen that OpenTouch v5.3 biggy was out so i installed that version about 3 times. Each time the top bar is missing and will not show. So instead i installed v4.0 biggy and my battery is back to not lasting very long. I really enjoy using Opentouch, I have tried the others but always end up back with OpenTouch. Anyone else have this problem?
Another thing i would like to know and i might be wrong here(i haven't run OEM Windows mobile in quite sometime) But is there anyway to get the original AIM app from the stock rom? I want all the Biggy apps to though. I do have Palringo installed and have been using that for a couple weeks now. Not sure if i like it though.
Sorry if this post is messy or unclear im working off about 3 hours sleep and need to get to bed!
Thanks for any help!

here is an example of my battery problem. I unplugged my phone at 6:14am made maybe 3 phone calls equal to about 10 minutes total. Used the internet for about 20 mins and now at 11:21am i am at 42% battery. With OpenTouch v3.0 i could of tripled that and tonight around midnight when i would of plugged my phone in the battery would of been closer to 70%.
Would love to get some answers on this, if anyone knows any settings i can change or what not.
Thanks.

You sure it's not a bad battery? They have had a lot of problems with the Dynapack batteries.

I found an article saying that T-mobile and HTC are replacing the dyna-pack batteries. but my phone doesn't seem to over heat. Also, if i put OpenTouch V3.0 on my Wing the battery will last longer again. I think its something in the software settings.
Here is a link to an article i found http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/tmobile_replacing_overheatable.html

I think that ttran made Open Touch 5.0 and higher have the radio that gets better reception, but pulls more power, but I don't think it was supposed to pull that much power. When I tried the 5.0 series, I didn't notice a drop in power at all versus 3.0. Hmmmmmmm.

Well with the v5.0 i am not sure if the battery dies quicker or last longer, i don't get a top bar after installing it. So when i installed v5 i kept it for an hour tops and reinstalled 3 times in a row, then went back to v3.0 or v4. My problem seems to be with V4.0. I like the looks of it and would like to keep it. but i can't deal with charging my phone 3+ times a day.
I did see a post that says some people wanted to keep the radio from V3 on V4. maybe ill try installing that and see if that fixes the problem. I will let you know the outcome.

You could install batterystatus so you can see the remaining power.

I can see the remaining power, that is how i know when the phone will need to be charged. What i meant was i have not left OpenTouch V5 on my phone long enough to see if the battery lasted longer or not.
When I get home i am going to put the V3 Radio on my V4 phone. I will let you know the results.

Ah, I gotcha....Yeah, I'm running v3 radio and it seems to be the best out of the bunch for me.

Well i did more research and found some Radio upgrades and what not. I figured why go down a version on the OS when i can upgrade the radio version. OpenTouch V4 comes with Radio 03.12.90, So i updated to 03.18.90. I will just have to test this for the day to see how the battery life is. From what i read it was about 60/40 of good/bad. I guess if this radio sucks as much juice as 03.12 i will just try going to 03.21.90 and what not.
Now to figure out why the topbar wont show up in OpenTouch V5.3 for me. I love TTrans roms! I'd like to stay up-to-date with him. =(

I think it's a file in the startup. It might be cleanstart, but I can't remember for sure. I think if you slide the keyboard out, it comes back, but I remember reading about this somewhere...

Well i gave up with the radios and put in OpenTouch v5.2 org. Then i extracted the NBH file from the new release from Tmobile and flashed that to my phone. It seemed pretty quick and what not. But i ended up saving the OZ IM program file and flashing OpenTouch V3.0 again and added the OZ IM from the stock Tmobile rom and it actually opens, but it wont connect. Oh well.
I am looking into cooking my own roms now and have followed a guide to create my own OEM. So maybe ill become one of the known cooks =)

Problem
I have a problem, my cube doesn't work like the way it shoud btw i have open touch 5.0 , so like the regular cube to open it u slide ur finger from the bottom to top and it pops up but not in mine, i have ramdonly slide finger in many direction multiple time for a while before it comes out, so please tell me is there something wrong

I ended up installing OpenTouch V3.0 last night to test the radio in it. Well my phone was unplugged fromt he charger this morning at 8:15am and it is now 4:17pm...the battery is at 72%. The radio version is 03.07.90, not sure if this is exactly what is making the battery die slower...but my reception is not as good as before. I am going to upgrade this Radio. I also downloaded Aserg's newest rom, I have never tried his.
As for the cube i am not sure. I have never used it. I will give it a shot this weekend and see if i can help ya out.

thx looking forward to it

I am surprised that the 3.12 radio drains your battery that quick. I have been using it in the OT 4 and 5 versions and now in Touch-IT touched by vista and I average 2 days of battery life before I charge unless I have been heavy on the internet usage. I have heard that the 3.18 and 3.21 radios drain battery life quick, but I haven't read too many complaints about 3.12. if you haven't tried any of the Touch-IT roms, give em a try, they are probably the most stable roms I have used yet, although I noticed for some reason with Touch-IT touched by vista my reception doesn't seem as good even with radio 3.12. I don't understand that....

Android on hd2 battery life

Hey guys. I'm a bit new to this, and I have a few questions. 1. Does having a faster microsdcard worsen the battery life of android running on an hd2? 2. With set CPU clocked back to 576 MHz Max 245 min, and all the settings toned back, I barely make it through a days use on my nexus one 2.2 build. Is this normal? Does battery vary greatly from build to build? Is there a build known for good battery life?
Sent from my Hd2 using XDA App

Android builds will always use much more power than WinMo, reverse engineering the drivers is not ideal nor efficient. Some builds use less power than others, best try a few with the current widget installed.
This is a thread on SD card power, I'm not sure it makes a huge difference. If you check the power usage app you will the OS is using 2 or 3 times the power that the screen is - this isn't good for battery life.

Hi lads, iam new to this myself I got my hd2 about 2 weeks ago and havnt had out of my hand since.. the only changes I have made was download hspl3 & flash radio 2.14 and I am currently running darkstones froyo 2.2 and I love it.. the only prob I had for my self was battery it was eating it.. when screen was off I was getting around 168ma and using phone was was up to about 600ma.. after about a week of searching I found out a few things and now I get a full day wit heavy usage. I downloaded setcpu,advanced task killer,green power free,changed a few settings on my phone and now I have a battery tats just as good as running WM.. ill get the exact settings up for u later if u want... hope it helps

after doing a task29, i loaded "vbn reloaded" (minimal winmo rom) ;
use EBL android loader and load mdeejay EvoSense 2.0 revolution ;
using "currentwidget" my battery usage is only 7mA idle with four email
accounts getting updated in the background.
Been using android as the (only) daily OS
z
ps just did a rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
need to see if it charges to "100%"
if only battery usage GOES DOWN WHILE ACTUALLY USING ANDROID,
that would be penultimate
(ultimate obviously is NAND boot )

Hello to all, iam using the android shubcraft version on my hd2 and i cant charge my device 100%. It stops on 85%. Did you guys have an idea??

I've been testing 2 different batteries fully charged with phone off. Using current widget they get the same readings about 7ma with screen off and average 200 on. One battery drains at about twice the rate of the other. Im pretty sure one is defective. I've cycled both to make sure. Also running on wm I get the same experience. If your lucky enough to catch a battery problem in the first 3 months of purchase from t-mobile they may send you another like they did for me.

heres a good thread on conditioning the battery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827355
as far as sd card speed, a faster card will use less system rescources due to faster read/write speeds, ie: the cpu is under less load for a shorter period of time.
faster io performance = better battery life.
side note, underclocking to far will hurt battery life. this is due to it takeing longer to complete tasks. so if your like me and do a lot of turn the screen on, check some thing , turn it off, then the longer the screen's on the more your draining it.

Why does my battery life suddenly poor?

I've been running Android on my HD2 since it all started up. It's been great recently with up to 2 days of useage without a charge. The phone started randomly rebooting and HTC replaced the motherboard saying the last one was faulty.
Got the phone back, HSPL 3'd it, changed to the Android VBNRom and using an MDeejay build with the M4 kernel and the battery only lasts around 12 hours?!
The set up as far as I can see is identical.
Any ideas?

try MDJ S3 or S3.1, some people experience poor battery life with S4

Hastarins 8.2 kernel? That should be OK, that one fixed my battery issues. If not, have you got SetCPU installed with the profiles set up?

I'm running darkstone v3 as my first HD2 rom ever.. I love this phone. But I have extremely terrible battery life. I could try another rom. Ill probably do that next.
I unplug around 9:20am. Head to work and when I get off around 5:30-6 my nexus one usually was sitting around 70-80% usually closer to 80%. But my HD2 so far after the same shift with minimal use is sitting with like 36% or 39% today.. that's a large large difference. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions or ideas. I'm doing a battery drain, battery stats wipe tonight. Hopefully that will help.

[Q] After Market Batteries suck with Android???

I've seen posts about it, but have yet to find a thread addressing it. I have been doing Forum and Google searches but have found nothing.
So what is the deal? I have an Andida battery that was great with Win Mo, but I'm convinced it causes problems in Android due to trial and error testing.
I start with a fresh build with the stock HTC battery and it rules. Then I run out of juice and switch to the after market and I lose data connection, wake up lag, and other wierdness.
I've also done fresh installs with a task29 and low level format of the sd card , using a fresh data image and if I do the same with the After Market and the Stock, the build used with the stock battery works and the same build with the After Market has problems right away.
Anyone having the same experience as me? Anyone know what the deal is?
I just purchased a spare OEM battery for 11 bucks off of ebay/USA seller. Hope it's the real deal.
***MOD PLEASE MOVE THIS TO THE HD2 ANDROID GENERAL DISCUSSION FORUM. MY BAD!***

I have found this same problem. I also have an andida battery that was awesome in winmo but sucks in android. I now use the stock battery first and the andida only when the stock dies. It used to be vice versa.

I have a andia battery and a extend battery , and both of them work fine

And this is why I need to know what's up. Doesn't seem likely to me that a battery can make a difference, but it certainly does on my phone.

is it possible that its just a faulty battery?
Or a whole bunch of faulty cheap batteries that have poorly regulated power?
I have a 2400mAh "Replacement For Touch HD 2" battery that gives my phone a hump, I got it for 12 bucks off ebay and it works great in winmo and android... my phone suffers from android sleep of death with both oem and third party batteries that I have though I think this is a mem card issue though.

forgot one thing
i forgot to say it was a mix of this post
a post from android forms about downgrading as well can post link yet but it was the part about the version number had to type in when you got to the entering version number in the cmd
for more info google the title "adb permisions denied solved (downgrade stock 2.3.4 mt4g)"
and thanks but one question about my battery after every new rom flash you have to calibrate to get the right reading on the battery and better battery life?

Let the phone die then charge it while the phone is off. Once the LED turns green leave it in the charger for another 2 hours or so. The turn it on and download battery calibration app and run that. Do that a couple times and you'll be good!

wow thanks so much cant wait to do that cuz on my old dext rooted battery life was so long i loved it and i hope to do the same with my mytouch 4g
and i will do that thanks i will download the app and just leave it on my sd card till the time to use it thanks again
just hope i dont have to buy a new battery
also one more question sorry will doing this help with battery life during games like cut the rope, fruit ninja, and samurai 2?

thanks so much i am still waiting for battery to die out so i can do the full charge again .
and my friend he says he can use wifi and blue tooth and batter lasts a day and sometimes a day and a half i read some forums conforming this i guess this should help.
if anything should i buy a higher mAh battery?

I just got done with my first full drain on both of my Anker batteries that I purchased, I honestly only bought them because they are a slightly bigger mAh and it came with 2 and a external charger so I could charge both at the same time, this way I can go super hardcore usage all the time, and never fear of battery... I still barely need the second one.. But still it will still depend on what you're needs/expectations from this particular device are.. I don't use a PC for anything.. Since my father does not like me on it, I type school papers on my phone sometimes and everything, so I rely on my phone to be there.
So
maybe just use the phone for a week and gauge what your going to need, also keep an eye on those partial wake percentages found in spare parts, or betterbatterystats on the market (not free :/)
As those wakes amount to some battery wastes.
Hopefully you can sift through this and grab some info any other questions i'm here.

i also heard from a friend who has nice youtube videos on roms and flashing he talked about the MIUI ROMs i red up on them and how they have a custom kernel with built in battery saving tweaks that are applied when installed so cool
also I red that task killers are bad and can mess up phone in long run
i am using CM7.0.3 now what ROM are you using?
i am also on my first drain battery was on zero now its doing the full charge now so after this i should be able to do normal use now with juice defender i hope it works well
but wow you really max your phone what is the mAh on your batteries and how much was it?

I think they are advertised with 1700 mAh ... There right around 1400 but its two of them which is why I got em. I think 26$ for the while thing. Amazon, would you like the link?
Yes TJD's MIUI has a lot of battery improvements, I use that but I just can't get myself to like the MIUI because I guess it is like the iPhone too much. I am currently running CM 7 nighties because I love the cm thing, always have, I like the royal ginger 3.0 but doesn't seem like team royal is on that ship anymore. :/ shame, its a very fast ROM!

thanks those are the ones i was looking at and i think the white ones by Anker are the 1700 mAh the reviews in this alot of people say its 1400mAh I really want a 1700mAh if I am buying lol
and cool i will keep looking into MIUI was there still a big need to get new batteries using that ROM or you just see your battery getting weak period?
and with the battery improvements in MIUI does that mean gaming with cut the rope samurai 2 and fruit ninja will kill battery less?
This morning was last step in the battery calibration and battery is on 94% been on 1 hour and 31 mins with no calling at all just text and one reboot to fix some settings in juice defender I have no data coming to my phone at all till next week when new biling cycle starts but I am not sure if this is a good reading if the battery is good or not not sure
But when I opened setcpu the mhz was up to 1000mhz I had to set it to 768mhz and scaling back to conservative.
wow during this reply 2 texts came in and battery is at 93% not sure what to do I am thinking of recalibrating the battery before either buy a new battery or try MIUI what you think is best?

Always go with the cheapest option first, MIUI, then if you need to get batteries do so.. Yes? I don't pay an extreme amount of attention to percentage, I actually prefer to look at the graphical battery because as long as I have 15% I'll b ok, and it makes it seem like it is going down slower (;
Edit:::: I am at 96% been up since 6AM when I booted up after I took it off the charger, same oc settings as previously mentioned, but in editing this post went down to 95

hey sorry for late replay
and ok cool i will do MIUI tomorrow and recalibration it also lol will do it that day cuz i will see my father and he likes iphones it would b cool to go from CM7 to MIUI in front of his eyes lol but i think i might need a new batrery cuz i am now thinking back and i had a motorla cliq with blur and it was a brand new phone with new batt and all I used the cm7 nightly I loved it just hate the random reboots but battery was beautiful also gaming was cool also
I think but I will get the anker 1700mah
and I didn’t see your oc settings I also red that MIUI doesn’t need to b oc or anything its set automatically
and is your nightlys stable?

Nightly seems stable and I'm at 1700 oc ondemand kernal is TDJ
Miuidoesnt need anything changed

Well, I use Smart Keyboard PRO, because the only people I text are my gf and parents.. I call friends.. so I don't need the speedy responses this helps me pick suggestions way before I type the words. I own Swiftkey but hardly use it, for I lack the time to allow it to learn my style.. swype just doesn't jive with typing in passwords and such. I hardly have problems with SKP have used it since it was Cyril's little project when it debuted.
Now you can download the original android keyboard if you wanted to on the market I think its from Steven Lin or something... what exactly r u looking for in a keyboard?
Yea "Droid does" huh?
If you came from the iPhone I suggest using MIUI as it is like IOS a bit more then AOSP, as I'm sure u can tell.
But that's the beauty of Nandroids, don't like it? Messed up? Restore!

I seriously flashed 4 roms today, two twice since posting my percentage this morning... heavy usage the entire day, texted the entire time, and total of like 10 hours Display time... 100% brightness - 40% and I'm at 38% battery right now after finally subsiding in the CM nightlies again. I guess sense isn't my thing. And the other aosp Roms are all on like 2.3.4
Nightlies r on 2.3.7
So I guess what I'm saying is I can make it thru a whole day with extreme usage
I hope I helped somehow with everything u had a question on so far. Don't hesitate to ask anything else, I am always surfing XDA at school because I lack the interest required for note taking

it could be the stock screen protecter on but I like smart keyboard pro just that its less responsive then the htc sense keyboard you know the standard keyboard with white hollow oval letter and the predictions are in rectangular oval style above looks smooth would send you a youtube link
But from you telling me your heavy usage plus switching roms I think its my battery I will flash MIUI hopefully today
and see from there and I don’t like sense earlier just feels weird I use launcher pro
And with the nightlys being 2.3.7 how come you find battery better? i am kinda confused i know games kill battery fast but what about calling n internet wifi yesterday those really hurt my battery
Also with my moto cliq I was using nightly as well I might try one do you know a safe nightly that doesn’t random reboot?
And your helping big time you have the same phone and your rooted and alls so I like the info you have shared with me thanks
