How much power drain do you currently have?
Install "CurrentWidget" from marked to see.
Also post your build and running programs.

That value doesnt work that way .... better would be ...no apps running and then
Standby - ?
On Call - ?
Browsing - ?
... otherwise its fruitless
And the apps running on these readings?

Mdeejay revolution 1.4 on NRGZ GTX themed winmo (standard winmo rom not optimized)
Not many apps running that I know of, standard HTC widgets on the pages.
Wifi on shortly for standard usage testing, otherwise just 3G data connection on in standby. 16gb microsd that came with the phone, its a bit slow but seems to work.
Standby: 4 - 6 mA
On Call: Not Tested
General Usage: 150 mA - 350 mA

Settle down buddy...
Those threads weren't the same and for a very different purpose than this one.
This thread (from what I understand) is a place for people to post their setup and their actual usage figures. The ones you linked were about tweaks and optimisation which is not a comparison thread.
The first post could be updated to better reflect and standardise the way users post their figures.

hey... i am using the exactly the same rom/android you are using, but my android drains battery [email protected]#$%^& fast, the "android system" uses more battery than display WTF
In standby 1hr 10% gone
how u check standby power usage?
standby - 4 - 11mA
usage - 200 - 500MA
on call - ?
Standby: 2 to 5 mA
On Call: Not Tested
General Usage: 150 mA - 350 mA
Using FroyoStone_Sense_V2 and setcpu interactive profiles. Happy with battery lasting 24 hrs. including browsing and music for around 1 hour.

If you lose 10% battery life in one hour on standby with 3-5 MaH drain, your battery might not be calibrated. Recharge it with the phone off and then delete batterystats.bin in /system/data on the next boot.
The main reason I throttled my processor down to 384 mhz to get 100-350 mah is so that I can surf the web for 5-8 hours a day without having to recharge. No noticeable lag except with animations.
Any thoughts?
I said same setup, not same battery drain.
Now I have followed all guides and my current drain is 60mA, still far away from 11mA
Share some settings?
Been trying alot of builds recently trying to get reliable gps (+ compass) and decent battery life. I really like MDJ's desire HD build nice gps + nav and best of all loving the new sense interface. But as with a few other builds i have tried recently battery drainage has gone through the roof.
To compare to darkstones desire hd build i get 3-8 mA in standby and i can get around 18-22 hours out of the phone. But most of the recent builds i am only managing 8-10 hours max.
I have tried shubcraft 2.0, the latest hyperdroid, the latest MDJ evo and of course MDJ's latest desire hd. All of which have increased significantly in battery drainage. But when i switch back to an older build battery drainage falls in line again.
Is there something i can do to sort it out? As i see a lot of people report decent battery life whereas my observations are totally the opposite.

You need to wipe your battery stats. Look here for a guide:

ok doing that now thanks for the info. that still wont stop the unusually high battery usage tho, i mean just for comparison, darkstones desire hd build uses just as much battery when at the home screen idling (with my settings) as the newer mdj desire hd build does when in standby ~100-120 mA
Couldn't we just use someone elses battery bin file, then?

I've used that build before (MDJ DesireHd with Hastarin 7.6 if I remember correctly) and my drainage was only about 6ma on standby. Something is not right with your drainage in the slightest. Shubcraft2.0 DropMode is 7-9ma for me in standby and I used to get a good 16-20 hours out of both builds with moderate use through the day.

what is your setup?
im using 2.08 hspl
2.15.50.14 radio
and omega v17.3 wwe
i was recently looking at battery stats in settings>>about phone>>battery usage
and i was noticing in all builds the screen is using about 60%-70% of the battery.
the thing is i was wondering if everyone else has the same problem??
is there a fix that i missed or something? (i am usually on top of everything related to android and hd2).
I've faced the same with several builds, and observed that my wife's desire had the same at 4-5%. I thought this might be a driver issue, and could account for at least partly the battery drains.
I had posted my comment in one of the battery threads, and a "senior" member came back with a snide remark that I must have been installing it wrong all these while. After Mr. Know it all's response I stopped responding to anything posted here really.
I think its a relative figure, that 70% or so, I think it keeps getting averaged so may not actually be so bad after a while. I am still curious about the driver though. I've stopped using setcpu now and that seems to have helped actually with the newer hastarin kernels and tytung builds.

Here is mine battery stats
I have been using hyperdroid 1.7 for a while now with UV and OCd CPU kernel; WinMo ROM is Energy 2.5 GTX based 3.14 and Radio 2.15.50.14...
3-6mA in stand-by - don't use my phone that much though as you can see by my battery stats ...
So we all know that low numbers in current widget are good and high numbers are bad. Thing is, how do we interpret these numbers? I mean if my phone (HD2) is currently drawing 4ma how long should I expect it to last/how much percentage of the battery should it drop an hour?
What about when it's drawing 189?
How do you do the math to figure battery life out?
Its just been puzzling me...

Your battery is 1200mah, that's milliampere hour. So if you're drain 4ma, then it'll run at that rate for 1200mah/4ma = 300 hours. Same for your other numbers.
If only it would run at that rate consistently hey .

Its actually 1230mah
the important thing is that it shoud have the minimal drain at standby moments ... becouse when using the device ... it gets as high as 450 ... on top spikes usualy 200 - 350 so dome nice man should think about minimizing the spikes when used.
By the way my girlfrind just bought a wildfire ...stock and it gets like in stand by 25 - 50 ma and when using 200-300.
Mine with nand android gets like 2 - 5 ma with some little spikes at 30 sometimes.
pretty cool
Indeed it is ! i have both a desire and a hd2, i used the desire for months while waiting for magldr, that things never idled below 20ma to 40ma and with the screen on was usually 350ma to 400ma
now the HD2 with a bigger screen uses less, like 150ma to 250ma and sleeps on under 5ma lol !
the desire may have more battery (1400mah batt vs hd2 batt 1230mah) but it lasts allot longer thx to more efficient use.
One question from a noop.
If i enable bluetooth over different builds the battery drain is quit different.
With most of the HTC builds, like Desire HD i get a battery drain between 3 and 5 ma in standby. With Stock builds or CM builds i get 60 ma in standby?
Has anybody the same experiences or can explain this?
Best regards
trilu
same issue for me but i dont know why this happens

I had this with early HD builds too - I think it may be that it's not going into low power standby mode (just enough to keep connection active)?
Try wifi too - that should settle to 5/10ma if idle.
@ T.S.: You should try the Battery E.T.A. app: http://www.appbrain.com/app/battery-e-t-a/com.ac19.beta
This app shows you the current battery percentage + it displays a calculated "end of battery" time, based on your usage of the phone over the last day/2days/..

That happened to me too with DHD builds and i've tried many things.. the solution to stop the heavy battery damage (sometimes) was just opening wifi and go Idle
So let me get this straight: it is normal for my device to have 400 mA when using it?
Anyone think it's possible to get those "top" ma's down? Because it's draining like 350 ma in full use.. would be cool if we get it below 200 or something Maybe with something like those ultra low voltage builds that you had on the sd android version?

use setcpu and limit to like 400 mhz. it will be sluggish but u get your 200ma. also turn off backlight. but there's no point doing that.
Haha oke I get the 400 mhz.. but thats not what I was looking for

HD2 is the best Android phone on the market. Nothing compares to it besides the Evo and the build quality on those isn't as good as the HD2.
I've ran some tests before. With the phone idle and the screen at the dimmest setting, it drains about 100ma. Turn that up to full brightness and it goes up to 230ma. Phone calls have the screen off and it uses about 150ma or so. The rest is just how hard the phone have to work.
It's really not bad when you think about how much it does out of that little 1230ma battery. You can get close to 7 hours of talk or browsing at dim light. 12 hours of music playback, 250 hours of standby time. These are pretty good numbers. If you really need more than that in one day, you just need one of those extended batteries. I hear this one works pretty well in android without custom kernel

hey im wondering if sense less have better battery drain then sense
so is it helping to lite sense build ?
what u think
i get mostly 6-9mA
7-8mA average
1hour per %
i tired few sense less build not helping to get
5-7mA like i had before
1.5-2 hours per %
on ROM build i get 7mA static
5mA with pilot mode
maybe i should change radio ?
in my opinion sense builds drain more battery. have tried nand and sd builds, with sense, without, hd, etc. in past...
hd builds drained the most battery while using, in standby drain was about 5-7ma!
with gingerbread i have a standby drain of 3-5ma and, and while using the phone battery is much better than on sense builds.
