[How to?] Control data battery heavy heavy HEAVY drain - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I used the search button, didn't find anything with my same problem (if it was alredy asked sorry)
Hi to all, I noticed that on my HD2 the only thing that drains too much battery is 3G connection...
It drains at the point that is impossible to charge the phone when the data network is on!! (tried, 2 hours charging, locked on 8% battery)
also.. the antenna gets hot.. it drains in the same way even if i'm in standby!
I'm just wondering... is there a way to modify battery draining? reduce voltages or something close to cpu undervolting/underclocking? I think it's draining even more power than it needs (in winmo doesn't get so hot and doesn't drain so much)
It's only my issue and anybody else noticed that heavy drain? please let me know...
my setting:
ROM: axlor leo v3 (it's android compatible, means no robot voice during calls)
RADIO: 2.12
ANDROID: hyperdroid v 1.6 (kernel michyprima as you can dl from hyperdroid page)
Bye

Are you using wifi? Once the phone gets too hot it will stop taking a charge

As already stated the problem is only 3g related, wifi doesn't give any problem, it drains battery normally.. The phone in stand by doesn't get so hot to justify the charge stop, it just drains all the power given by the adapter...

Sorry, but seeing the title of this topic I just had to do it.

Good one
But seriously, did you ever tried another radio? I got the same, but my HD lasts min. 1 day and when I charge it never gets hot..
That's not very good, did you tried with SetCPU and a profile that set the clock to a lower frequency when you charge? Maybe that will work..

Nice ^_^
@JanssoN what radio are you using?
Anyway it's only a matter of 3g connection, if it's turned off, battery can reach 2 days of duration (I use wifi in my house and use phone for texts and some internet) and there is no overheating even in case of charging...
When I charge the phon with data (3g, not wifi) on, it doesn't get hot, it just doesn't charge
any idea?

I'm using the same radio, that's why I think it's a strange issue.. Did you try to change the WM-ROM? Maybe that's the problem, I dunno, never heard about such an issue?
My Setup looks like this:
Radio 2.12.50.02_2
WM ROM Chucky Droid GTX Light with Android Bootloader
Mattc 1.8 with sense
Why don't u try to install SetCPU and create a profile that sets the clock frequency to some lower speed at chargin?

Try and report back.

I have exactly the same problem, phone gets very hot on 3G, and battery drains quickly. On WiFi, everything's cool
stock 1.66
2.12.50.02_2
darkstone's DesireHD

Why don't you both try to upgrade on the new 2.14 radio? I heard that it should be very stable. You have to search, don't know which thread it was.

Will try as soon as I have time, thanks for help..
It seems to be android build/ROM indipendent as d4v0r has different setup and same problem... so maybe radio will solve

Ok, maybe this will work.

solved (?)
Trying radio 2.15, it seems more stable, no high temps for now and battery drain is normal

Sounds good

tested for 2 days: new autonomy:12 hours of 3G on with applications download, twitter updates, web browsing, autoswitching from 3G-G-H and no signal at all.
Everything in "moderation" that is, normal use (for me)
No high temp.
So... try to update ^_^

3g shouldn't be exceeding what your charger can supply. Are you using the original charger and more importantly ate u using a cheep cable. If i use a cable that's can't cope with high currents you will draw power faster than can be supplied.
Been there. Had a replacement cable that when tethering with PC wouldn't charge.
If you don't have setcpu installed. For God sakes install it.

The problem (for me) is now solved, it was a radio issue. autonomy with data on passed from something like 6 hours or less to 12 which is good, maybe less time than other are experiencing but it varies from winmo rom to winmo rom i suppose.
SetCPU is my friend from the first android and it keeps my cpu to 768 max while in use and 245 max on screen off, i use ondemand governor cause conservative keeps the devices to slow for me

i also notice my battery drive fast....

Hi Harky, nice to see you here! Which Android ROM are you using, btw?

Base is Energy Rom
Using ★shubCRAFT 1.5★CM6 Final★
Radio: 2.12.50.02_2
Do ur rom drain alot of battery too
Maybe try this rom for one week and see how is other rom...
in the morning till now.. i notice i lost at least 30% battery. When i m standby mode and surfing a 30min net

Hi Harky, try the new radio (2.15.etc.etc) which for me made a great job
Anyway we still can't expect a droid build least the same time of a winmo build, but for me a day (12h duration cover good part of my day XD) is very good...
Next step for me should change winmo roms and try if there are differences...
If I'll do that, I'll post results..

Battery life is extremely short

Hey guys, I've had the phone since Saturday and even though I've been through a few charge cycles my battery only lasts about 6-8 hours. Today I took the phone off the charger at 10:00 AM and it died on me at 5:45 PM. I only texted a few times and only did an hour or so of Slacker Radio. Seems a little low for what I'm doing with the phone.
I am on Kumar's classic 2.2 ROM with 2.11 radio.

A lot of things can drain the battery, 3g on in a no 3g area, weather updates, twitter , email updates ...
But If I was you I would try a diff radio ... I get a full day out of mine at this point a little more ...
I've tried 2.12 as well and the battery didn't improve.
Is your activesync checking as items come in? That's what drained mine terribly. Basically, it can be a ton of things that make your battery drain such as:
1. backlight
2. agps
3. certain programs
4. etc
You'd have to list a bunch of stuff on what you're doing to your phone
Can you turn activesync off? If so, how?
Also, any other tips to save battery life?

Definitely lower down the screen brightness to 20%, turn off Bluetooth and WiFi, don't let things like Twitter and your e-mail update so often.
Also using the internet/music/videos will drain quite a bit of power, especially if you use the internet while listening to music.
Yeah I mainly use internet radio while at work. Would using WiFi be easier on the battery than using 3G/H?

Yes, I've done it both ways and wifi most definitely draws less juice when streaming data than 3g (and when idle too, for that matter)
do you think it matters whether you install programs on your SD card or on the device?
i have CHT installed on the SD card and i can't make it 8 hrs on light usage.
I only have 3 apps installed so far, but it's on the device.
Also, is there a way to have the default wallpapers without animation? I'm sure that doesn't help the battery every time I unlock the phone either.

Yes. Try installing it on and running it from the phone instead, I'm sure you'll see at least a noticible difference.
Honestly, there's really not much of any reason to install apps on the SD card with this phone...there's more storage available than even most power users would ever come close to filling.
im in teh same boat. had it since march. on elegancia rom which people say is great for battery. on 2.12
now im in a bad service area in my basement often so i know sometimes thats the cause. but even at the gym 40 mins of internet radio dropped my battery almost 20 percent.
if i do nothing with the phone it usually drops 5 pct an hour 10 pct with moderate use but 20 easily if i do anything on the web over 3g or wifi. its awful
oh and i have lumos configured, i only have email connect every 2 hours and weather every 6. nothing else connects

Wow! your phone's battery usage sounds a little over the top. Might want to try using a different radio. 2.08 has given me the best signal/battery efficiency, but of course that varies from phone to phone.
Also, I bought a 2600 mAh battery so now I'm not afraid to use my phone. As long as you don't mind the extra bulk it adds to the back of the phone , I would suggest getting an extended battery to everyone complaining about how their battery dies too fast.
I will back up the statement that putting apps in main memory will save you battery ...
The less your phone has to access the SDcard the less power it uses.
A big thing is if you have any apps that run all the time that are on the SDcard , not only does it drain battery but will degrade the performance of the SDcard .
Anyone else have any ideas?
talked to tmo on webchat last night got em to send me a new battery
so if nothin helps at least il have two
I'm trying that method right now, we'll see what happens.

[Q] Very High Power Consumption Android On HD2

Hi,
Ive recently installed Android 2.2 Froyo on an SD card on my HD2 and the battery is going down so quick... it wasnt great in Windows mobile but now I'm struggling to get it to last all day...
I'm saying to myself this cant be normal, I'm also trying a Samsung Galaxy S and the battery is so much better!!
Is there anyway I can improve the battery power on my HD2, I know in a HD2 the battery is a 1350mah and the Galaxy S is a 1500mah battery.
Should that make such a difference?
I'm considering going back to Win Mobile but dont really want to but havent got any other choice if the battery carrys on like this....
I also notice the screen and back get really quite warm... I suppose Android is making the system work harder?!?!?!
Its safe to say that you havent read any of the threads about battery life.
Before you say I did a search and didnt find anything Ive already typed in battery in search and found a bunch of threads.
Now what you need to do is find out why its running so warm.
It could be the kernal version you are using.
Ways to improve battery life are using setcpu and underclocking. A lot of members use current widget as a method to see when High drain is occuring.
In sleep mode you should be seeing less than 10ma. If you dont see less then this there is a problem.
Set current widget to 1 min intervals.
Dont use task killers they dont help anything no matter what anyone says.
Dont compare the captivate to the hd2. 2 different phones.
I am using mccm 1.5 customize, and CurrentWidget shows 5mA on standby which I think is good enough. Sometimes, it shows 60mA on standby in a while and my battery drains very fast, even I use Advanced Task Killer but it does not help. I have to reboot the phone to get it back to 5mA on standby.
Anyone has any idea of what may cause my standby power that high (60mA)?
Thanks.

Thanks for your tips for better battery life. I was curious about a few things and hope you could clarify a few things for me and some instruction or threads on how to do so. And yes I have searched, that's the first thing I always do before I do anything web based as far as positng.
1. How do you setcpu and underclocking?
2. How do you find the amount of battery that standby takes? i.e. 60mA? How do you get to that setting in android?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Setcpu is an app used to control your cpu speed.

http://www.pokedev.com/setcpu/
To check ma's use (current widget)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776085
long press on the desktop and apply current widget. It will ask you if you want to create a log. Create a log for 1 min intervals. Put the phone to sleep and leave it for a good 5 mins.
You can then open the log file usint astro file manager and check your drainage while sleep.
One thing I found is that If i am having high drain i turn my gps on and restart then it usually settles down and I can turn the gps off.
If you have apps that are syncing you will a higher than normal drain during those times the apps sync. if you set your apps to sync at longer intervals the amount of batter drain will be unnoticable.
I have major battery ocd. I constantly check my battery and have to force myself not to look but still use my phone as any normal person would.
I can pull more than 12 hours easy!
Thanks hazard99!
The first time I ran android I don't think I've had any battery issues and now that I'm looking at the percent on my homescreen Im beginning to feel battery OCD too. It's like I lose 1% atleast every 15 minutes when I look at my screen. But I did take and apply all the tips you told me and I do see that it only uses 5ma when screen is off. I truely don't understand. :/
Stop looking at your screen. Stop worrying. The more you look the more juice you use while the screen is on. There will be more points where the phone is off.

im using the same radio as you (2.10), energycookie rom 21916, and my setcpu is at interactive 245/729, and for sleep its at 245/384, hastarin kernal.
Use a Battdrv.dll from older HD2 ROM 1.48 Etc. I'm not sure if you recmod the module and replace the current one in Windows if you will get the same benefit as if you cooked the driver in.
i just updated my kernal to the latest zimage in mattc's froyosense's evo tree, and my standby is around 6-11 ma now, guess that solved some issues lol, anyone know whats the normal operating ma power consumption for texting?
EDIT: Now when i try to enable wifi i simply get "error", did i mess up on something? =/
EDIT: Solved above problem. WOOT!

Better Battery Life with WiFi On

For some reason no matter what build, radio or rom I use BatteryMinder tells me that I will get better life with wifi on vs wifi being off. (check jpegs in attachment)
If i turn mobile data off too I get better battery life as well.
Why is the Mobile network killing my battery?
I would guess this has something to do with 3G that gets disabled on WIFI start
Yea I figured that how do I fix it though?
I stop using batteryminder because the time fluctuation was killing me! one minute it would show 1 day of battery left after unplugin, and 5 minutes later would show 15 hrs left, but only 2% had dropped in the battery, I guess it reads everything that's running, and takes it into consideration to tell you what time you have left. I get like 3 to 5mA at idle so I don't need it anymore to tell me how much battery I have left, I get a full day of battery.

This is a known fact, the wifi radio uses alot less power transmitting data than the 3G radio. I have about 20 Wifi access points stored in my phone so that it connects to them automatically like Home, work, church, parents house, friends house, that way the only time I'm actually using cell data is when I'm in the car. Saves the battery a ton.
If you want to use 3G all the time, but save battery, turn off always on data in the settings and set it to sync on an interval instead.

Odd, when I enable WiFi and set it to never sleep (so it keeps WiFi on when screen off instead of reverting to data), I idle at 10 times higher mA than with WiFi off. When actively using the connection (browsing, etc) it does seem less energy consuming than data, though.

This is all excellent advice. Cheers roloracer! I use similar settings and software for the most part with Core Droid HD v.02 by Sergio76 right now, and the standby drain with WiFi and GPS on, auto background data sync off, sits much of the time at 7 mAh. This is without using SetCPU. Moreover, with WiFi and GPS off, the standby drain drops down to about 5 mAh on average. This is about the same as I get using EVO Black & Blue Remix v.03A with everything off as well. That said, both of the above mentioned builds are incredible, IMHO, and both include the hastarin r8.5.1 Kernel.
Best to all,
R
If you are in an area with spotty coverage, and constantly switch between 2g, 3g, H, etc... then it supposedly runs your batt down a lot more than in steady coverage.

10 to 13 hours of heavy usage is not bad, light use is a different story, even on windows mobile with heavy usage you can see about the same 10 to 13 hrs of battery, My phone averages about the same as you, at idle with the screen off is about 3 to 7mA , with the screen on but nothing extra running about 120mA, and with stuff in the background about 250mA, or with the camera is about 400 to 500mA. The key is to always check advanced task killer, kill all before turning off the screen, I use my phone lightly to medium during my work hours, I text a few times, facebook a few times, some phone calls, but during all this time I keep my background sync data off, I only turn it on if I have to go into the market, and I turn it back off after I finish in the market, then when I get off work, like 13 hrs after I unplugged from charger, I usually still have about 50% to 60% battery, I flip on the background data and go full blast on it, til the end of the day.

[Q] Help, High power drain

I have a friend who got a wildfire.
Usually his batterylife was good, like two days without a charge. Then he started using spotify a while ago. When he uses spotify the drain is higher of course.
But yesterday his phone started to act kinda sluggish and draining power constantly without spotify on. I installed watchtower to see if there's a process who draws much CPU.
The only thing i could find was the com.android.provider.settings averaged abour 20 % constantly.
Anyone who have this problem or maybe have a fix for it?
He's running stock froyo rom.
=)
just tell him switch to customized ROM. CM7 rocks!!
Well. He's worried about something
Going wrong.
But I solved the problem. Usb debugging was on and caused the drain

high power drain
thanks i have the same will try usb debugging off and see what happens
the bigger power consumer is 3g/4g radio.
Switch to 2g only mode and you will see
Put the 3g in game only when you really need the speed.
Usb debug mode - how this could drain your battery when is not connected - but i'll try this
And yes cm7mod is superb even without any appkiller or over/under clock app... (build #20 right now)

[Q] HD2 / WP7 / battery life (Mango/Tango)

Hi,

if its not on charge then the lower it is the better, if its on charge youd hope it was increasing the available charge
Hi,
please, do you have any experience or knowledge about problem from first post?
(I checked I have problem with BT HF connection too - in tango. I need pair HF again and again.
If I use Mango, connection with BT HF is very quick and I paired devices one time only)
Thx.

Your battery drain is very high. Check if you have apps running in the background. Are you using WiFi?
Check its charged, it may report high drain but if the battery is half full but showing its full then it can appear to drain twice as fast, also the backlight is the biggest draw of power which doesn't work right,, im amazed its fallen on deaf ears when brought up

Hi,
I use ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953078
When I use Mango verion (up to 1.26 (build 8107)). Battery life is ok (up to 9mAh).
When I tried to use Tango (2.00b, 2.00b2, 200b3), battery consumption is about 40mAh with the same settings as mango ...
Whant can I set to reduce consumption?
(BT off, Location off, WiFi off, data off or email after 15minutes, 3G off, camera trick used)
Thx,
Petr

I highly recommend you use this ROM instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
I experience a much better battery life with 3G and BT on, WiFi and locations off.
Camera trick soesent work, because this rom uses radio 5.71.

Thank you.
(Mango)
BT on settings is perfect (-5mA), until I connect and disconnect to BT HF ...
If I disconnect, battery is -45mA whole time.
If I set BT to off, battery is -5mA again ...
I have bad 3G signal .. so 3G off is better than 3G on FOR ME.
(Tango up to 2.00b3)
Battery was -40mA for all time ...
extended battery 2300mAh
Is there a rom that works on an extended battery 2300mAh ? I apologize for my language
Tango 2.00b5 - drains battery like a HELL, as other roms too... I don't know those guys were talking about when saying up to 4 days bat life on this forum, but no matter what rom I use, it's less than 1 day bat life without calls, wi-fi and data! With wi-fi - less than 1 hour. Why this crap still can't be fixed since first rom was ported?? It's completely no point to use WP7 in this case.
I use last Mango ...
If I don't use phone, few days (3-5) phone "using" is possible
(BT off, wifi off, Location off, data on, 3g off (bad signal for me), email (15minutes), camera trick after reboote )
If I use phone, 1-2 days are without problem ...
I tried to use Pdaimatejam Rom, but I had problem with restarting and phone temperature ...

Same, wifi, bt off, downgraded roms, tried camera tricks, etc. even bought a new battery, still same...
HTC Tool reports anything from -881 to -5
when i used rom from hd2owner battery consumption was large. about -40.
with pdaimatejam rom everything is ok. consumption is about -5.
I have disabled everything for maximum battery life.
