Hey guys.. I'm using Cotullas stock Desire HD nand rom... My battery last about a day with a few calls/sms...(Today i woke up and my phone was dead)
With SD card builts i have 2-3 days battery life with only a few calls/sms! Is there any other new NAND built that battery drainage is ok?
Since I've installed a NAND Android build, my phone lasts much longer than with SD card builds.

LOL! WTF? Maybe because you have a T-Mous or something?
What built do you have?????
I'm with Cotullas stock Desire HD too. And now, sometime I see 3ma in standby.
Till now I've never see less then 4ma. So, for me, it`s better with nand Android
I have autosync active... all the time.(weather, email, facebook...)
You can check programs... some program may be is draining a lot of power.
Did you test with clean ROM, without any installed programs?

OhhhhhK....... So now i understand that T-Mobile hd2's have better battery life with NAND builts! I am suing same Rom as you guys... I don't have any programs installed... at first battery looking just fine...But after one day my phone died. My maximum Phone's Up-time were 26Hours with this built!
Can you please tell me the widget you are using fo mA?
where can i find cotulla's desire hd based nand rom? couse i can see only desire based one.(my hd2 isn't tmous)(exept grauners)

there is a Desire HD rom, not made by cotulla, but Gauner, in the Android development section.
Guys, which software do you use to to check battery drain - I cannot see where the mA statistics are reported, only what is using my battery.... Thank you

which was ur sd build?i got just 4hr aftrr wake up.it is dead.
I've been going for 27hrs now on the same battery with over 40% still left! I have only made 1 call, but used it lots on wifi and SMS.
Awesome, the battery usage i'd say.
Is your wifi on ? i have a normal HD2 (Not Tmouse) and i had massive batt drain above 50mah sleep until i turned wifi completely off.
now i get 2-5mah sleep.
I have wifi on. Its in 3g in standby mode. Have u turned off wifi location setting. That helped alot in all builds.

Okay I am now running an Energy Rom, still every build that I have tried, the battery drains so fast!! It is almost unbelievable. I can not get a days worth out of this thing, I have turned off background data, and everything, and it still the battery drains like crazy! What is the point in having Android on this nice phone, when the batter drains too fast, you can barely use the phone? I have tried builds that include Kernel 8.5.1, still battery drains.
Download current widget to see your mA, I thinks that is battery voltage...what radio are you using and WM rom?
With chucky lite, radio 2.12 and froyohd2, if I don't play angry birds my battery still last about all day... And around 7mA in stand by.
I like the Energy Rom, can you give me a link to the FroyoHD2? Also I heard there was a Froyo with no sense ui, but I can not find it. My Radio is working just fine, I have 2.12.50
The answer to this question is all over these forums. 90% chances are the issues are between the 4.2" Screen and You.
With the right settings/configurations, you can get pretty damn good batt life.

Hey all,
Quick question - for some reason I have really dodgy battery life in any of the most recent Android builds. This includes the Sense HD and the SuperRAM builds, with both recent MDJ & Hastarain Kernels.
If I leave the device in my pocket for a couple of hours, in standby, the "Battery Use" claims the Display is the primary cause for my battery use.
Just looking at it now, Android System and Android OS are both on 12% and the display is at 57%. That's after the display being mostly off......
I've tried three ROMS, including VBN's Android build, an official 1.66 HTC build and an official 3.14 HTC build. Furthermore, I've tried the 2.15.50.14 and 2.10.50.28_2 Radio's, both recommended for good battery life.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jon
I am wondering the same thing. I am running darkstone hd2 froyo v3 with hastarins 8.5.1 oldcam kernel, everything runs great but it says display is killing my battery. If there is anything I can do about this I would really like to know.

Phew, it's not just me then! If I could be bothered I'd dig up an old sense build with and old kernel and see what happened. However I can't remember which one worked best as I change my ROM on what feels like a daily basis!
I have been using this as my daily build but I really wish there was something I could do about the battery drain. If it is something about the phone that I can't change or if a different kernel or something would help, I wish I knew. Any help would be appreciated.

it's not just you indeed, it's everyone there's at least two threads already about this.
Well, I dont really think its killing my battery life, however i did notice that its lower than when running winmo, I checked the settings and it says display is using 60% of power, I didnt really think anything of it as i guessed the display is easily the thing that requires the most power. So perhaps I have this problem too? I dont really know
Winmo I would get a day, perhaps a day and a half if i was lucky, android i get a day.

That's the thing you see, if the display is off for 2 hours, on for say 3-4 mins while I check my e-mail, it's still at a really high figure. Yes the display causes battery drain, but no where near that much.
I wonder if it's purely a kernel thing??
I only get 5% on my display battery drain.

I've noticed it depends what Android rom your using. The issue for me is either the Android System OS is using 60% & over or the display is using 60% and over. Either way the display or the system is the battery eater in my case lol.

What eating mine is cell standby and wifi, both 35-40% while android system is only 20% and display is 5%.
Sent from my HD2 Droid using XDA App
My display always takes up more than 60% of the power usage, but I have had builds where it's reported very low, I don't pay much attention to that anymore, they're probably not that accurate.
I did ran a quick test the other day of battery usage in winmo vs android. In standby both android and winmo were about 3-6ma. On the dimmest setting with no app running, winmo used 78ma, and android used 95ma, so it's a little higher, but not extreme.
I'm running at a crazy 67%...
For the heck of it, turned off all radio, left thephone @ 70%. Came back 1 hour later, tells me this percentage and the phone is at 63%...
Weather it's the Cell Standby, Display, Wifi or the Android OS, something is always taking power. If your phone drains completely in an hour or a day, the battery usage is just telling you what is drawing the most power percentage wise. 3mA or 300mA, it accounts for 100% of what's being used,screen off or not.
My android os only uses like 5% maximum, display is usually 60 though

Hello
Ive been using the [Dec 30][NAND][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM
for the past few days fine. Ive been loving it, ive even donated money its that good. but last night I check and my battery was at 51% and this morning I found it was turned off and flat.
Ive got perfect signal no wifi. Only facebook syncing contacts and background apps. Ive only got twitter and facebook install on this build. The other nights have been fine.
Radio version 2.15
Any one else had this problem? Do I need to move on to a different rom or apply this fix??

On WindowsMobile, for me it was Facebook. After disabling auto update I never had problems with Battery any more.
Just try it with facebook disabled. If its not go step by step disabling software until you find the one causing it.
Check your current widget to get a better idea of what's happening. You probably have more apps on then you think

it looks like BatStat Battery Widget was the problem. I was idle at 120mA. So I uninstalled and applied prj's kernel v0.3 now im idling at 2-5mA. Perfect with all the sync on.

How do you check the power usage like that?
I've got this widget called battery watcher and it shows my usage as 96% android system, 2% cell standby and 2% idle. How can I go about finding what I need to remove?
I'm new to android so not got the hang of the technical stuff yet.

IT's called Android!
It has it's own ways of handling the running applications and memory management. If you kill all apps, and you check 30 minutes later, you will again see a lot of applications loaded...
DFT rom is based on the new toolchain so it has bug which causes 60-70mA battery drain in standby after making a call. Upgrade to Projection's kernel OR use his build if you like the DFT rom. His build is based on that one, but WITH bugfixes
If you try CMN 6.1 NAND BUILD (2.2.1) with Radio 2.15.50.04 you will have good battery drainage.. I fully charged it before 2 days and now i still have 50% with only calls/sms and about 20 min WIFI downloading some apps!
That build is absolutely great!!!!!!!! I never had that great battery drainage with SD builds!!!!

This is the fastest and smoothest ROM I've tired yet, but it got problems with GPS. If you don't turn GPS off after using it, you'll get ~57mA battery drain in standby. Easy to do as you got the gps widget in the dropdown menu
Good for me cause i don't use GPS!
And yes, it sucks to much from your battery!
Now i have 49% after 2 days with 49:12:44 up time!

should have arround 5ma in standby
I recently monitor my battery drain on MDJ Revolution HD 2.2 and want to check with you guys if they seems ok to you?
When phone has no applications running in background, freshly after boot it uses 3-5mA with peaks from time to time up to 150mA, this means that it consumes around 1% of battery per hour.
When phone has few applications running in background (more real scenario) it uses 5-7mA with peaks up to 250mA, this means it starts to consume around 2% of battery per hour.
I have never measured those values under WM but I can recall that phone used 5% over night (7hrs), it is less then NAND build I’m currently using.
Is this normal for Android to consume more power then WM?
Will battery format and delete of batterstat.bin help? If yes, can some help me with finding it? I am using Astro File Manager but if I go to folder /data/ it says it is empty, do I need to delete the file using terminal?
Thanks
I can agree with your findings: my drainage also seems to be like yours. But there's one strange thing I can't follow. After receiving a call or calling, my drainage increases from 3-5mA up to ~60mA in standby?! Does anyone know a solution therefor? I've already compared the processes running before and after calling and couldn't find any irregularities...

i have this problem on MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 1.8, too.
on older builds i had it, too.
tested a few things, but nothing worked for me.
as said above the drainage after calls is fixed in every new nand build. so end of thread i would say
I was on MDJ Revolution HD and haven’t got any issues with battery drain after calls.
Now moved to MDJ Super Light 1.0 which has lower battery drain then HD, around 3mA in standby almost all the time, regardless any applications running in background.
That is not bad but still higher than WM roms
As i said in my post. I have this problem with newest mdj build, too. So, for me this thread could be usefull

With Clean Desire v.0.3.1 I have horrible battery life. It's like stuck at the 60mA, think it's that call bug or something similar. If you study usage history, cell standy is consuming like 33% of the battery, and phone inactive 32%, the display is at 2%
There is something rotten in the kernel. Turning of GPS, Wifi hell, what ever, does nothing to improve it.

Can you confirm that there's no notification bug on v0.2? I switched from DFT because PRJ supposedly had it fixed but I'm using v0.3.1 and I still have the same thing, if a notification remains Unread it drains 60mA until it's Read --- is this not the case for v0.2?

i only know that the spike of 60ma after calls had been fixed. i didnt noticed the unread notification spike (cauze I have my phone on me 24/7) so i will read the notification within 3mins orso. so i have no issue with that.
but the battery drain is really good it this build. for me personal, no errors at all. only the unlockscreen sometimes freezes but then u wait 3 secs and its good again. but every hd2 is slightly different from eachother so you might have an other experience.

It's a great rom, it's DFT without the bloatware and I think purely Stock Roms are the best, unfortunately...I get the 60mA bug and it drives me crazy lol. I'm a extremely heavy user and the extended battery drain makes my days that much shorter =P
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.

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.

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.
