battery drain while extremly ovderclocked hd2 - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

hi, i could not find any similiar thread, so i decided to start a new one:
some freaky guys here are overclocking their hd2 to 1400-1500mhz
my question is: how does this effect battery drain? has anyone tested some variations? maybe i'm going to test it by myself, but i thought someone wants to share his experience.
thx in advance.

Get a spare battery , it will give ya all the battery/performance headroom u ever wanted , compared to streesing what not to do to not drain ur only battery or ur screwd for the day

Agreed spare battery is best, they are small enough to carry on your body.

well thx for your answers. but my question was, if someone tested the differences between cpu clocks and battery drain. maybe my english isn't good enough to make clear what i am asking for

I like running my HD2 in Android @ 1497 MHz...

Doesn't it get too hot? I never thought of OCing my HD2. Is it worth the trouble?

it's been discussed before, it's physically imposibble. Please search the forum before.

how is "Fix for battery life ---- test" the same as using a battery from a different phone???
It's not good to use a battery that's made for something else. It can cause problems and ultimately break your phone.
Also, as stated above, it's discussed. Look in the accesoire thread for more info too. But I wouldn't count on a battery that is better than the stock one. Weirdly enough, I have never bought a battery that isn't stock and worked better of at the same quality as the stock battery. (and I bought some in the past).

Rom battery life.

Hi I been bouncing from Rom to Rom like a maniac this week and I know this has probably been asked a million times before but ima ask anyways and anyone is welcome to answer which Rome have the best and longest batteries with out giving up performance? From my experience anything Gingerbread or asop has had the longest but I'm curious about which kernels n stuff would b recommended on royal Ginger right now.
P.s I love sense but they're to heavy on battery from what I've experienced

The battery you get is all dependent on how you use the Phone, if you are a heavy user you can't expect 2 days out of the battery, lite users can manage a day or more. Personally I'm loving MIUI now, I listen to music, maybe some games, phone calls, internet[4g], etc and I can mange 1 day if I try. I couldn't really kill it in under 8hrs if I wanted to. After you flash a ROM, you should try this...

RoyalGinger has amazing battery life. Just make sure to calibrate your battery after flashing and give it a couple days to "settle". I have gone 36 hours with moderate use and wi-fi on nearly all the time without charging. There have been people that went much longer.
GenerationX is the best.

ive tryed a ton myself and honestly i dont think there is a rom better than GenerationX...they removed a ton of crap you dont need and it is super small and is superfast...which = way better battery!! try it out man and let me know
Yea I calibrate all the time and royals been good. I'd say I'm a pretty heavy user mainly texting like all day long some music SN games. Yesterday I only got 9 hours 27 mins on royal Ginger once I went up to 17 hours. I was just curious cause I see so many ppl posting screen shots of ridiculous battery life that I can't even get close too on the same roms. Like 3.0 roms lasts me like 6 hours n I'll deff try that Rom then thanks

yeah man, let me know what you think...i fricken love it!
GenerationX wishes it was RoyalGinger...Used it for 10 minutes and had to go back.
also consider there has been some reports of excessive battery drain caused by the tmo service itself before counting out any specific ROM. supposedly tmo is working on the issues. i really like the new VU but AOSP ROMs feel so clean, hard to choose. maybe i should just get a second phone
If you want to try out a different kernel for better battery life, flash one of faux's. He is pretty focused on battery life. demonspeed kernels from Thederekjay are pretty sweet too. They can be used with royalginger and cm7 post night91 or 92.

I agree, Faux and thederekjay make some kick ass kernels. youll also have to tweak the rom to your likings for better battery life (ex. disabling haptic feedback, lowering screen timeout, syncing, etc...) theres also an app called Watchdog task manager and it notifies you of "rogue apps" that consume too much power. give it a shot
Yea Generation X im running v5 its pretty sick i like the way everything flips n stuff and i love the Demonspeed kernel its sick love all the govenors n the fact that i can underclock when screen is off below 245 thats pretty sick but atm generation x is only lasting me bout 8 to 9 hours its a possibility that its the actuall tmo service but i never really had this issue before when Cm7 first came out i was in love lasted me up 17 hours which is alot for me considering im on it all day long for business and all but i need some change in my life be able to flash roms as much as i do stops me from buying a new phone every couple weeks lol . I think ima try the new royal ginger 3.0 but will i be able to flash the Demonspeed kernel on that one?. i really like the way everything flips and stuff when you open an app on generation X is that a setting or is that like unique to only that rom? also anyone know the difference between scary, demonspeed, minmax, and Smartass governors? kinda curious i searched it found in depth detail bout regular ones like conservative ect but i tend to lag on conservative phone takes a while to open n jump up to speed for decent performance. anyways thanks for the help and suggestion guys sorry if i ask to many questions lol

1. yes you can use the demonSPEED kernel with RG 3.0
2. the screen transitions and animations can also be used with different launchers from the market, like LauncherPro or ADW being the most popular ones. just look under "menu>launcher settings"
3. Faux and thederekjay give details for their kernels in the OP of their threads, and which governor is which:
Faux's AOSP v1.0.7 kernel
thederekjay's demonSPEED v5 kernel
hope this helps you out
Yea thanks a bunch

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.

wow thanks alot and yeah i just got Juice Defender ultimate i am learning how to use it
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

i had a iphone 3g with whited00r on it loved it it was so nice n smooth but i new android was better the hardware on a mytouch 4g is better than the iphone 4 its just so much android does
do you know a great keyboard app for the droid i used touchpal smart keyboard there ok swype is good but i like the 2.3.4 one that came stock dont know how to get it

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
Edit for typo

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

Best battery rom

I have been on hd2 since the MDJ days and have tried heaps of roms. I have been very happy with hyperdroid.
But is it the best for battery? I would like to know the best 2.3 rom for battery life guys.
Thanks.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
There is no such ROM that can be classified as best battery ROM. Try using different ROMs and see which one suits your usage and requirements the best.
I am using American Android and i get a day of battery life with normal use....little of WiFi....Data ON
OK cheers. Problem is it take a while to figure out how good or bad a rom is.
What I am hearing is none will be substantially better than hyperdroid.
I have just ordered a new OEM battery so will report back on any upgrade from my 2 year old one

The only differences in battery life I can see are between SD and NAND ROMs, but other than that as far as I can tell all NAND ROMs are pretty much the same at around 4ma
Yes...NAND ROMs do have more battery life than SD ROMs as for SD ROMs there is RW to SD card for everytime.
Do share the battery performance with NAND Hyperdroid with heavy usage.. (like data always on and wifi usage + lot of calls and sms )
Idle drain is to my issue. I guess that large screen sucks thee juice

Then from what I've experienced all ROMs will give you 3-5ma battery drain with screen off so you should be fine.

[Q] How to tweak rom/kernel for best batery life

Hello, i'm using typhoon latest rom with latest kernel from dorimanx (7.1A), but im gonna go on vacations and i really need my phone to last as long as possible, is there any way to tweak rom or kernel for better batery life? thanks

What sort of battery drain do you currently get on standby? Can you tell me the reading in ma from CurrentWidget? If it's 3-5 ma with mobile network/wifi/bluetooth etc on and 2ma in airplane mode then you're fine,but if it's higher it can definitely be improved.
If you don't plan to use mobile internet connection then disable 3G and turn 2G mode only. Turn off as many widgets as you only can, disable Location Service and auto sync. Install apps on phone memory only.
Also Dorimanx kernel is a hell of battery drainer, use another one like stable Tytungs etc.
Use dynamic/powersave CPU governors or use CPU speed profile apps like SetCPU and make several profiles for it.
This is only a few of tips we can give here.

im getting between 10 to 15 ma with 2g on and sync all the rest is off, and im using smartassv2 governator i dont know if this can be improved .. and i really like dorimanx kernel becouse it feels faster then tytung and it gets less hotter becouse right now is really hot these days and i nearly cant use the phone with tytung kernel becouse it gets crazy hot :O

Well the apps I use to reduce my battery drain are JuiceDefender and SetCPU. Set the profiles to be 245-576 Mhz when screen is off (smartassv2) and whatever else you like when screen is on. I never had any overheating problem with Tytung's kernel though. It was the most stable and just as fast as Dorimanx's kernel IMO. Still, using ICS now so I can't really judge about the newest versions of each of them.

I think his kernel is the same in battery drain over any of them. Ive tried them all. If anything, seader_r9 was the best and it was only a small improvement. My battery life is pretty short, but im a HEAVY user. Constant web browsing, constant text messaging contant GPS. And it lasts for the majority of the day. Now i have an .sh script which helps tweak the smartassV2 settings. I get about 110-200ma drain when doing simple web browsing or replying to a text.
One must also keep in mind that the ROM has a major part in battery drain as well. I heard from many users on here that MIUI has the best battery life. All in all i think any kernel you choose will have reletively (i spelled that wrong -.- its still early ) the same battery drain. It really comes down to the amount of use your phone has. But as stated before, turning off data greatly saves the battery as does turning down the screen brightness, fyi, automatic brightness sucks battery life too. Plus android does a horrible job polling the light sensor -.- it shouldnt take an average of 3 seconds to get the changed light value..
Theres not much 'tweaking' you can do to give you like an hour extra of battery life. Our batteries are only 1350mah batteries and thats really small for such a huge screen. My Touch Pro 2 has a 1500 and a much smaller screen. There are a lot of good aftermarket batteries on ebay that you could get which would extend your running time.
thanks guys, im gonna give a shot to tytung kernel, but im also gonna take a look to the aftermarket baterys
Typhoon rom support undervolt so if your phone is gettin' hot I suggest you to tweak the voltages as explained to original thread first page, it makes a big difference compared to stock.

Good advice here. There's a lot you can do (as already advised) but always some performance tradeoffs. The standard HD2 battery is only 1230 mA... not 1350. Smartassv2 in DM's kernels is excellent for performance and settles down nicely in standby - but it will pull-on your battery when used. There's no substitute for keeping a few extra charged batteries around (when you need them), along with AC & DC chargers + cable, in a small carrying case.

You don't need to use dorimanx's latest kernels, his stable kernels in fact do a better job at not overheating and have only 2ma drain on standby. I know 5.9, 6.3, 6.4d, and 6.9A (ics hwa) give a great battery life.

Wow, in standby im on average around 7-3mA with the occational spikes when receiving texts or messages over wifi. And when on data its about the same, just not as often in the 3ma range.

Which apps are running in the background? People constantly say that task killers make no difference yet whenever I've opened something and haven't killed it I get a higher battery drain than normal.
Also, use JuiceDefender and SetCPU to lower the drain.
