If ur able to use android with ur extended battery, then the kernel patch is doing its job and is already "activated". If it weren't, you wouldn't be able to load up to a launcher.

That's what it is suppose to do because it's not fully supported I guess. When it dies (at normal speed) take the battery out for like 5 seconds and then put it back in and turn the phone back on. It will boot up with ~60% battery remaining.

The code being used is from hastarin and is in beta.... Wait, are you using the 2400mah battery, and not the official one?, if so, then it's a known problem, and none of the kernels have support for it.

Yes, I assume it only does it because the kernels are supporting the official 2300mA one; but if his is doing the same as mine, I'd imagine he has the 2400mA also.

He doesn't have an extended battery, he uses data from the official battery users to modify the kernel to support it. PS. there are other threads mentioning the same problem about this type of battery.

I was referring to the OP having the 2400mA.
You do know the MDJ 7.5 doesn't support the extended battery. You would either have to downgrade to MeeDJay Froyo HD 4.2 (which supports the extended battery) or do a kernel upgrade to MDJ 7.6 (which also supports the extended battery).
Speaking of the extended batt and MDJ.
I had a weird readout on the Leicke 2300mAh one which I believe might be identical to the original HTC.
It would drop 10% the first 30 min with no ussage at all. It would show 10% left at 3.75 Volts or so.
I just installed MCCM_HD_V2.0 and hastarin_r8.5.1_eb. The readout seems alot better now. Now it is at 3.921 Volts and showing 83%
I dnt ave the orginal battery
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
i am not use the official htc battery i bought mines frm amazon or $20 2400
Use hastarin 8.5.1eb, MDJ's ext battery support isn't there yet. I tried his 7.6HD and wasn't reading my battery correctly at all and it was dropping 1% per minute. Under 7.6, my battery read 73%. I switched to hastarin 8.5.1, and the reading was 90% which was the same reading as it was in WinMo.

I second that. Try Hastarin instead of MDJ for the extended batt.
Mine is at 71% now where as with MDJ's kernel it would show around 10%.
thanks very much for ure help guys

Hi All,
I've test all of Android builds with lastest kernels but Android on hd2 still eats battery like a T-Rex
My phone survival time not longer than 6 hours on GPRS network.
How about yours?
Come on man, I'm fairly new here but I'm comfortable enough to say... You have to have seen that there are several threads not only on this same topic, but even on how to improve your battery life with Android.
I've try all of these tips not work for me How is yours?
Make sure to turn down the brightness of your screen. There is a thread not far from this one titled "how to improve battery life on Android HD2." Read that. Also put your phone on a charger any time you're near one: desk, car, couch, etc. Disable some of the always on widgets, maybe don't sync social networks or minimize the frequency they sync... the list could go on.
The fact of the matter is these are not final builds and are running from the SD card. A super long battery life isn't to be expected. Follow some if the steps above, read the how-to thread, and give it a shot.
Don't forget to thank the devs who put this together.

With SetCPU running and set up properly, after a day of normal use (around 16 hours) on Shub's Cyanogen's 1.1 build I have around 15% battery left. So clearly you have something setup wrong to be only getting 6 hours. My battery life is now no worse than it was on Windows Mobile.
yeah i get over 20 hours
I got 20 hours with heavyish use for 10 hours, and 10 hours no use.
Which is about the same as i'd get with just winmo.
I could easily use this build for my day to day phone

If I'm using the phone heavily, 12-15 hours. I have no idea how much idle time I would get as my phone is rarely idle as I use it for work constantly... And this is without using SetCPU or any of the battery life tips/tricks honestly. Keep in mind I use the T-Mobile "extended battery" case which recharges my battery with the flip of a switch on my case but I don't ever let it get below 20%.
Hmm I see. I'm starting to thing my battery problem doesn't about Android Builds maybe my SD cards needs a lot of power to work?? What is your android setup? Which build which zimage?

um...that's not a really good comparison.
that's like saying "I can get 1000 miles on one fill up, but I have two tanks and just flip the switch for the second tank".
What do you get with out using the extended battery case?

Sorry, I didn't make that clear. I get 12-15 hours without having to flip on my case. I usually switch it on at around 20%, which is why I said I never let it go below 20%...
Edit: I forgot he asked me which build and zImage as well.
MattC Froyo RC 1.4, 08/03 zImage.
battery "life" is not the main issue here.
in my opinion, the main issue is power management. that causes short battery life combined with high battery temperature.
can the devs say the reason(s) why is the power management that bad? that is the main issue with android builds right now, once it's solved, android can be a true main OS for everyday use.

where do you see a new zimage?
http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/
just checked and there's none for Aug5?
Other than using the latest zimage and SetCPU to force autoscaling CPU and Conservative CPU Governor, I've noticed Darkstone's vanilla froyo v1 build gives pretty good battery life (vs say, the CM RC1 build) by default.
I've also noticed that I get great standby battery consumption if I ensure that S2U2 is running in the WM background (as iLock2.exe) with the setting "Don't Suspend Power" unchecked in S2U2 options before booting into Android.
On a 3G network with a idle data connection, the (standard HTC) battery only drops 10% for a 10-11 hour standby time.

You get 12 hours with heavy use? Mind telling us what Radio/Rom you are using? What other settings?
I managed to get to 8.5% per hour drain with normal use.
Of course, I never got better than that with WM anyways...
lol i get about 31 to32 hrs (1hrs mp3 and 30min internet) with light use
I must admit my android battery issues were solved with setcpu and screen brightness tweak.
Only funny thing is that with my setcpu profiles identical between Mattc-froyo and Shub-cyanogen, there is a short delay in the latter's response to a key press once screen is off and device locked. No delay on Mattc.....
My HTC HD2 2300mAh EXTENDED BATTERY shows up as an ordinary 1200mah
I am using Mdeejay_FroYo_Revolution_v._1.7_S6.1 .
Anyone... is it a fake battery or must i do in a certain way to explain to the battery that it is a 2300mah?
Some kernes dont have extended battery support. when the battery runs out, you put it out, put it back in and restart the phone.
Im using the 8.4eb kernel and I'm still having extended battery problems
try 7.7. or I will try to find and see if Mdeejay kernel has support or not.
I think its the battery. 8.4eb supports extended battery.

Hi, im on MDJ Froyo Sense Clean
v2.4 With S7.1 Kernel
everything is runing well but it will always charge even when got to 100%
I tryed to delete batterystats and then shutdown and charge until green
but when android is up it changed to anber and says charging
what can i do? Thanks, and sorry about my english
It's just charging, not overcharging, no worries there!
Well that was one of my worries but in still looking for the reason
i thout it was led me know app but removed it and still
The one and only reason is Hastarin's "older" battery driver for extended batteries.
This driver is used by MDeejay in his kernels to support those official extended batteries.
I've discussed this multiple times in both Hastarin's and MDeejay's threads but never got a conclusive reply about this.
In the end it will stop charging and the light will turn green when batt usage falls below 3-4mA. Tested and confirmed.
But I'm sure that this doesn't suit the normal stock battery very well and that's why I use Hastarin's normal kernel (not the eb version) because there's not that driver and now my battery usage, charging and so on are like they supposed to be.
So its the S7.1 kernel? because its support EB
well it shows like it always charging but does it? if it always charge it cant be good

It's every kernel by MDeejay where he's put extended battery support in.
Every version starting with V4 if I remember correctly.
It's not overcharging that's for sure. And I guess not really damaging the battery but it's not the way that I like it, that's why I said I'm using Hastarin's normal 8.5.1 kernel version where this driver is not present.
But...
In the end, if you leave it long enough on chare it WILL STOP charging and the light WILL turn GREEN.
But then charging cycles will start (back and forth between 99 and 100% and light between amber and green).
Do a search in Hastarin's kernel thread and you'll find my posts about this....
i had kernel 6.1 and i didnt have the problem
about the Hastarin kernel in my opinion the s7.1 is better
work more smooth and 3-5ma on standby

I bought an extended life battery at 2600 mah for the HD2 running darkstone's superram 1.5. This is almost twice the normal battery size yet my battery life seems to be the same. Is their a problem with the battery or should Android be somehow programmed to recognize it?
me too, im using typhoon cm7

No that was my point, some kernels will support unofficial batteries but not official. Something from arne should work, I know he has made some 2600 supported kernels.
You can also try the newest rafpigna or tytung kernels. They also have the eb fix with them, credits go to arne.
I understand that there is no firmware to support the official extended life battery?

Guys i need you help!
A few days ago i stumbled to a cheap extended battery for HD2 and i bought it.
Unfortunately i just found out that most Android NAND ROMs dont support it....
Can you please point me to a ROM build that does support it?
Its a non-HTC 2600mA battery....
Currently im using CoreDroid 1.6 and its draining my extended battery just like a normal one.....
Thanks!
extended battery support is kernel related, not rom related.
every rom which is using the current tytung or rafpigna kernel supports extended battery, so my guess: nearly every rom out there

Why is it draining my battery so fast?
I charged it to 100% at 16:00,now is 23:30 and its already at 65%.....

how much have you used your phone? if there were a few calls, a lot of music/games/whatsapp/whatever its perfectly normal.

Not much.
I used like i use it normaly.
A few cals during the day,couple of texts and a few minutes of internet...
My standard battery usualy lasts 24-36hours.
I thought extended battery would give me 2-2.5x longer battery life....
I read somewhere that when battery level reacher zero extended battery users should restart the phone and it will go back to 60%....
I wonder if Android can even charge extended battery to 100%?
If the battery you bought is a non HTC battery then it may not be what it is advertised to be, ie not the ma that it is supposed to be, you hear many stories of cheap or 'fake' extended batteries
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Get "Battery Monitor Widget Pro" and that tells you what mAH your battery is and that way as its non-htc you will know if its genuine, i bought a non htc battery apparently 1600 mAH when i first got phone but had no idea back then and only until i got "Battery Monitor Widget Pro" it told me it was 1230mAH which is the original battery so i just use one as a spare now and take 2 out with me, so i can drain it as much as i want, as i know ill never be without
Ok,here's what i did.I let the phone discharge to 50% thatn i powered it off and took the battery out for 10 seconds.
After rebooting the phone battery level was 78%
Im guessing that rafpigna kernel can read extended batteries just not entirely correct.
I'll wait until phone discharges completely and will take out and reboot again.
I tried Battery monitor widget and it reports 1230ma....
When i finish testing i will report back.
