Hello,
I installed Android on my HD2 few weeks ago and everything works OK. I was able to reach 7ma consumption when idle (background data off, WiFi off, BT off), but the first incoming phone call makes it jump to around 90ma. The only way I found to solve it is to reboot to winmo, fully recharge the phone (until LED goes green), restart Android and disconnect from the charger. This forces 7ma again - until next incoming call. Any ideas?
(ROM 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE, Radio 2.12.50.02_2)
TIA
Try updating to a later Radio and the latest stock winmo ROM

Has anyone been able to use this feature other than me?
First videocall i made (about a month or two ago) which lasted for about 3mins, after the call, my phones battery icon start going down, say 15% every hour until it depleted. After that i turned the phone off, and recharged to full, did the htc battery test and figured out it was fine, battery stopped draining so fast.
Then just yesterday, i did a videocall with a workmate which lasted only about 13seconds, after that videocall, battery started draining fast again. I turned the phone off once it got to 70% and took the battery out, left it out for 10mins, and when i put it back on, seemed ok. Just started recharging it back to full.
Has anyone else had this experience?
my phone details:
Stock ROM, version: 1.14.421.5 (25590) WWE
Stock Radio, version: 1.09.25.14
Hi,
I have XannyTECH rom installed Xtrom Leo 2.6 WWE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=565290
And radio version 1.17.25.09.
I am concerned that I am charging it constantly - every night I plug it into my AC charger. During the day I have it plugged into my laptop to recharge.
If I don't it will defintely run out daily.
I use the phone WIFI now and again daily for facebook, email etc.
I have data settings all to off.
I have power settings for screen dimming at 30 seconds, off after 1 min on battery and 1min dim on AC and 2 mins off on AC.
Does it look like my battery is on it's way out?
I have tbattery installed as default and can log the battery, although I do not know what I am looking at.
I always close applications after use via task manager.
Any help/thoughts appreciated - is this normal for Touch HD?
If it is a case of the ROM could be improved for better battery drain then I will change.
Thanks
Hi,
i've used many coocked ROMs, but everytime i wen't back to the original ROM's from HTC because of battery drain.
Then I read somewhere that when you use radio 1.17.25.09, you have to use Rilphone 1.15.25.14.cab.
I flashed BlackStonehenge with radio 1.17.25.09 but without Rilphone 1.15.25.14.cab
-> battery drain
Then I flashed BlackStonehenge with radio 1.17.25.09 and installed Rilphone 1.15.25.14.cab
-> no more battery drain!
Search the forum for 1.15.25.14.cab
It works perfect for me!
It's on the Wiki-page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466274
My phone lasts about 3-4 days with moderate use (which is more than you seem to be using yours based on your description). I recharge when it hits 15-20%. I'd say maybe you need a new battery, if you have already tried different radios.
I tried Rilphone 1.15.25.14.cab as an experiment and it ended up causing problems, phone hanging and not responding etc.
I have reflashed with various roms and some are draining quicker than other. I have gone back to Xtrom Leo 2.6 WWE and the battery seems to be lasting longer although I am charging it every night.
It is 38% now - 8 hours after being uplugged. Today's usage has been about 10 minutes phonecall and about 15 minutes WIFI this morning listening to Radio 1.
I've disabled 3G and always turn WIFI off etc.
I'll order a new battery and try it out, it wouldn't hurt to have a spare anyway
U better try Topix ROM with Radio 1.17.25.09....
Now using this:
- kwbr topix 3.6 WWE
- OS version 5.2.21901 (21901.5.0.92)
- Manilla 2.5.20121225.0
- Radio 1.17.25.09
with Rilphone1.15.25.14
This gave me again batterydrain!!!
Then I installed MMTaskManager1.8.100421
and made sure only these processes are running:
- nk.exe
- filesys.exe
- device.exe
- connmgr.exe
- JBlendDaemon.exe
Now no more batterydrain!
Hi,
How many % battery power do you loose, when you are asleep over night, in "Flight Mode" ?
I have a battery drop of 33 % in 6, hrs...
How many % loss is normal/expected in 6-8 hours?
Very little, knowing that with phone on and data connected a night is about 5-10%...
You have a program that prevents the phone from entering standby, i.e processor is running all night for nothing.

Interresting, but my task manager shows nothing...
I have now downgraded the ROM and Radio to stock HTC settings, giving the following spec:
Manila: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM: 1.48.409.1(71294)NOR
Radio: 2.05.51.05
Protocol: 15.28.50.07U
My friend has the same spec, and he charge his phone every 3-4 days...
If you are losing more than about 5% in flight mode over night then something that tells us that your problem is not wifi/bluetooth/3G related and therefore a CPU cycle issue. First thing I'd do is do a soft reset just before you test it again to clear any programs from memory which are taxing the CPU and see if that improves things. The second thing that I would do is REMOVE (not error check to know that this is the problem before solving it) the micro sd card as file problems there will make the HD2 go crazy.
I can only suggest the traditionnal:
- Task 29
- Flash a GOOD custom (won't advertise)
- Find the RADIO suitable for your AREA (no flight mode intended)
- Stop installing those pesky nasty feet-coded background service relied programs rolleyes unless you're willing for the tradeoff
- Don't overmod either....
I've recently installed darkstone's superram froyo (darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 [kernel: Hastarin custom]) on my HD2 and followed the instructions to the letter (at least I think I did), but I'm having some issues with it. First off, I would always get a SOD when I put the phone on standby (while on Android) but I fixed this by turning off the automatic backlight in WinMo. This fixed the problem for a while, but now it's happening again, only this time it happens occasionally, not every time. Also, while Android was up, I put my phone on standby and put it in my pocket. After a couple hours, I took it out and tried to turn it back on, but nothing worked. I assumed that it had drained itself and turned completely off like it had before, but even holding the red power button didn't turn it on. I ended up pulling the battery. Has anybody else had this problem and know the solution?
EDIT: It turns out that I only get a SOD when I leave it on standby for a while. When I have it on standby for a few minutes, I can turn it back on, but if I leave it for an hour or so it dies on me.
change the radio to 2.15.50.14 first.
Maybe you cloud try americandroid too. it's a bit fresher than the superram build
Change the rom maybe
How do you change the radio?

Hi all,
I am running mango 7720 (v2) - radio is still 5.69 for 2 weeks now.
Have installed both radios 2.15 and 2.12 without any luck in regards to the camera trick. it worked upon a fresh format (-5ma), few apps later i am at -74ma. Battery lasts 9hrs 3g on, barely any use!!! dropped over 90% overnight.
I am aware that 5.51T/5.51 radio fixes this problem but i am waiting until XBmod releases the radio package without the need to format the phone.
I am running radio 2.12 for a few days now with horrendous battery life, until i came across something random.
Now, my drain is at -4/5ma and it lasts well over a day with 3g on. This is what i did (tested for 2days and loving it!):
Connect to wifi, turn off phone, turn phone on, do camera trick, turn wifi off, turn airplane mode on, then off and there you go!
Have tried doing the trick with/without reboots/wifi/airplane mode touched, - all failed!!! How weird, yes?
Hope this helps others....
Update 1 (14/9): Upon further testing (with just 3g on), i have been able to simplify the trick. Turn off your phone, turn it back on, put airplane mode on, then off, DONE! (no wifi, or camera trick needed!!).
How i test drain: I open HTC battery tool and put the phone in standby (ensuring i have reasonable 3g reception, as poor reception is an absolute battery killer on its own!!!). I put the phone back on after 3-4 minutes and i observe battery drain.
Readings: Upon restart -80ma, airplane mode on -8ma, airplane mode off (3G on) -8ma!
Geez, i love HTC, Mango and the people on xda that made this combination possible!!
Update 2 (25/9): For the last week, i went back to radio rom 2.15 (better reception for me) and now my battery is normal (-8ma) WITHOUT doing a thing..no battery trick, airplane mode, nothing. I do not think it is due to rom 2.15, as it started doing this while i was on 2.12. I have also installed another dozen apps or so. Seems as though mango just needed time or something, as ridiculous as that sounds. I have soft reset my phone a number of times and went straight to the battery tool, with 3g on, and battery loss is fantastic.
Go figure...
it's working only with 2.12 + 5.15t radios or with any? I have 2.15 + 5.15t and i can't see a difference in my battery life. Still huge drain.

I have 2.12 and 5.69, has been working a treat now for a number of days, with a number of soft resets. I guess to answer your question, it will depend on others testing my 'fix', since i cant.
Huge drain seems only to be a problem with 5.69. How huge is your drain on 5.51T? What is your battery current at? What do you have on (3g, wifi, etc.)?
Battery test
Battery current after standby -12ma
5.15T software radio
WI-Fi on, BT off
with camera fix
I am happy with that, except my battery always has been a bit duff.
Edit; Well done for finding fix though! Will test after Radio.cabs arrive
