Hi,
My battery is getting very low very quickly when using cooked ROM'S. I've cooked them via USPL. Can this be the reason ?
With HSPL I had less issues. I have to charge my phone daily, altough not using that often..
You tried different radios?
What do you mean with radios ? Different ROMs ?
Yesterday I installed the orig!inal stock one again, and battery was empty again this morning
Read the wiki about radios then check this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466274
installing the cooked rom with hspl or uspl should make no difference in battery drain. It is possible that it's the radio as stated above. It could be just a setting like constant data being turned on (or worse Push is enabled). Also, it could be the battery dying.
Also check if other options are enabled such as Beam or your Data Connection (it may be set to roam).
Charge with phone off
Try draining the battery to about 5%, Turn phone off. Charge fully.
Repeat this process 2 or 3 times.
It's worked for me before.
Thanks for all your tips guys..Can I just install the latest radio without any issues ? Is this supported by HTC ? Do I loose any guarantee when this is performed ?

Yes, you can install the latest radio (1.17) with the matching rilphone version (1.14). Hopefully you should not have any issues but remember that these Radio versions are specific to regions, so it may or may not work better for you - just because you have the latest Radio version does not mean it will work better for you. When I had my HD, I upgraded to Radio 1.17 with Rilphone 1.14 (not if its already cooked into the ROM), this resulted in better reception and signal strength, better battery consumption, etc. If you do not notice any improvement after flashing to another Radio version, just flash to another and see which one works for you. By flashing your Radio version from stock, this will void your guarantee as you are changing from your stock Radio version to an updated version. This is the same when upgrading to another ROM (custom) from stock.
You can always revert back to stock ROM and Radio versions when required, so do not worry
Device and battery were send to repair center. No problems found there. Tonight charged completely, this morning only 50% left, at noon completely empty. I am now using L26HDLEOV4_NLD with radio 1.13.25.24 / 52.62.25.34U. iIt seems I cannot update radio with this ROM. I could before I uploaded this rom, but the rom overwrote the radio again. A possible reason could be the microSD card (as said by repair center) but cannot see this as a reason. Any help is appreciated !!! Thanks in advance
Run this little prog and report back what your drain is.
Give it a while and it still runs when the screen goes to sleep.
My results show a drain of minus 31mA when sleeping.

I had this type of problem (almost similar).Battery drained drastically (more than 60% in less than 5 hours)....I'm listing down what i did...let me know if this helps.
I had this problem mainly when i
(1) Installed 6.5 roms,
(2) changed my geographic location
(3) changed my simcard.
I'm stating them because bcoz i did these things simultaneously.
bcoz of extensive battery drain,I even bought a new battery and tested my old one with a friend in HTC service center (my old battery worked well with his HD).but my new battery behaved same as old, in my handset.
then i tried "one -at-a-time" approach.
I switched back to 6.1 roms....no change
i couldn't shift back to my old geographic location (so i set it as least)
I swapped the sim card of another friend and checked with intial charge of 60% for the whole night...guess what?...it worked....
whenever you subscribe for new service better get to know if your provider has better coverage in your locality..
after installing sim card..just observe the letter which appears to right of signal bar on task bar....if the letter (in my case it is "E") appears inside a checkered box...it means your phone (i mean battery is dying to get hold of signal) will drain faster than you expect even without being touched!!!
from my experience...signal strength/coverage plays equally important role as any other parameter...now i'm using another sim card from same service provider but plan is different...my phone now behaves as good as it was
excuse my tedious essay...but i think cost of HD justifies this
P.S:This is an outcome my own experience
Let me know if this helps
My battery test was saying -134Ma in enlightened screen mode, -68Ma in dark screen mode and -32Ma in sleep mode...
Hi,
I always have an E in my start menu task bar... so this is not good :-(
I tried 2 batteries and already received a new HTC device.
I did not have issues with battery with previous device.
So or the motherboard or the SIM card can be issue. I also read about SD card with can drain attery ?
Your battery drain looks fine.
I would look at the possibility that the device is not charging the battery fully.
It indicates 100% when it is in fact only part charged.

I agree with Andrew. Did you try what I suggested earlier? This method is supposed to reset the battery ie. make the phone charge it to 100% rather than 40 -50-60 etc. It worked for me and I was going nuts with the same problem.
Also make sure you have wifi set to turn off when you go into sleep mode.
Sammy
When my battery is fully charged to 100% it shows green so I assume it is also a 100% charge, not ?
Making me nuts also.
This afternoon completely charged after fully drained, now again 66% :-(
Last night I disabled phone mode (so went to flight mode) and battery only got from 56% to 53% so it has something to do with polling the network constantly I guess ?
Really dumb question.
If I have updated my ROM from Stock to Miri's ROM WM 6.5 Rev 21.
Is it possible to update the Radio without messing with the ROM or is it like both have to be installed at the same time.
If I can change my Radio without messing with ROM, how do I do that?
Many Thanks.

i had the same problem and found out that it was because i had a program running that constantly searches for a 3g data signal.... when you look in Wireless controls in settings tab does the data connection tab keep turning on and off???????????

I have even read some say a couple of days!!
I installed battlog and my phone just never seems to run at under 100mA so on my 1230mA battery you can see my problem!!, i can't seem to tell what is using that 100mA or what is running, is battlog what I should use or is their another program to help me??
my back light is set to 20%

but on emails which are set to every 15mins its on 2G
I wanted push emails but when i set it up i found that my emails came straight through but no alert so i would have to keep looking at my phone unless someone can help with that!!

You might want to consider upgrading your Radio ROM version, I flashed from stock Radio ROM to 2.07 (as this was necessary to use the custom ROM I chose to install) and bettery life is really good I find, even better than version 2.08.
If you are willing to do this, please see this link.
Note: you must install HardSPL (once installed successfully, it will show as SPL: 1.42.HSPL instead of 1.42.0000 in Bootloader mode) on your HD2 to unlock it so you can install other Radio versions and custom ROMs.
Start by upgrading to the 1.66 ROM from your provider, then see what you're up to

As above - upgrade your radio and rom.
You wont look back!
i concur... upgrade rom to at least 1.66 and radio to 2.08.50.08_2
i am getting great battery life out of this radio.
with your current rom and radio i guess all you could do now is:
a) install bsb tweaks... it has a power saving option but im unsure as to what registry changes are actually made by it.
b) search these forums for battery tweaks. there are quite a few good reg changes that have been posted.
Wait at least a week as before that, your battery isn't fully conditioned, so you don't get the best out of it.
If you browse internet or have the phone in constant use than it´s normal that the battery is sucked out rapidely - the display and wireless connections consumpt the most energy...
One example: Surfing via Edge/3G demands 300 - 550mA (in peaks)! So it´s no miracle that the battery runs out of juice...
See my log in attachment. This were 19 minutes browsing with 3G (in the middle the phone switched to Edge). I´m currently running EnergyROM 23544 with radio 2.08.50.08_2, browser is Opera Mobile 10 beta. Standby consumption should be around 9 - 18mA (I have 1% loss over night in flight mode)...
Also, bear in mind that the full capacity of the battery won't be reached until several charge/discharge cycles have been done when you flash to a new ROM.

I am wrong in thinking that batteries these days don't really need conditioning, even though I say that so far I am letting my battery totally die before I recharge but its like when I put it in flighmode at night to save battery it still can drop by 10%, is this normal??
thanks for your replies

upgrade your rom to a newer version
It's a huge difference, at least for me between 1.48 rom and 1.66 offical rom. With 1.66 WWE and radio 2.06 my HD2 last for 2 and half days, with HSDPA always on, emails every 1 hour and moderate calls. And no other programs to save power...
Hi!!
So I have got Radio 2.07 and EnergyROM 23544 because the guy said he had only 1% drop in flight mode through the night or would you still say for me to go to 1.66 with Radio 2.07??
thanks for any help!!
I prefer to use shipped ROM's with embeded radio, but is up to you to try.

Problems
Just flashed using HSPL to the energy rom
all went well and my device restarted, nice interface and at the bottom was a please wait bar increasing saying different things and then it said very fast, "restarting device" on the restart my device is stuck on the black screen with the pink circled arrow!
if i take my battery out it first goes to a screen saying energy
then into the user interface and the please wait bar at the bottom again and then it says restarting device when the bar is full and again on restart its the black screen with the circled pink arrow!!
i was meant to flash my Radio to 2.07 after it turned back on back at this stage i am thinking 1, i cant change the Radio to 2.07 and i cant even change firmware because i have to have the device with the user interface to use Active sync
thinking i could well be screwed right about now unless some very kind person tells me otherwise!!
thank you
Hold volume down key, reset phone, hold until you're into the tricolor screen. Then plug your USB cable and flash that radio

Yeah that is what i thought, I am at the red green blue and white screen and at 1st it says serial at the bottom, i plug in my USB and it changes to USB but when i go to Active Sync it states that it can not find my phone!!
really struggling with this but needed to do it since i was getting about 8 or maybe 10hrs out of my battery!!
thanks for the fast reply
Seems i did not actually need active sync to say connected, i just clicked the radio update when at the multi coloured screen so now i am on radio 2.07 and back to my phone restarting, lets hope this time it will restart!!
oj so i waited until my phone restarted before to post!!
it restarted with the radio 2.07 and the EnergyROM 23544 but still the same, when my phone loads into the user interface all looks nice witht he bar please wait at the bottom but when the phone restarts on its own it just gets stuck on the black screen, the red writting at the bottom about the radio version just never shows, then if i take the battery out the same process starts!!
any suggestions please??

Hi,
My battery runs out very fast. I use ROM 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR
Radio version 2.06.51.07.
I try minimizing the 3g use, wlan is off, BT is off, no programs in the task manager... I have tried it all, but with no luck.
The battery power disappears rapidly.... Any suggestions?
There is currently a topic on radio versus battery life but as the conclusion is so great I want everyone to know as it may have got lost in the other thread and I feel users here are missing out by not knowing about it.
Basically several users have flashed the 2.12 radio and found much better battery life. On the 2.15 radio I used to get less than 10 hours. On radio 2.12 I have got 18 hours at least.
To flash a radio to your phone, turn off your phone completely. While holding down the volume down button, turn the phone back on. Keep volume down button pressed until you see the red, green blue screen. Connect your usb cable to phone and PC and the text on the screen will change from serial to USB. Execute the custom RUU file and follow the steps to flash 2.12 radio.

2.12 give me better battery but slower 3G data while 2.15 3G is faster but little more battery drain. It depend on what you need more.
I choose 2.15 for faster 3G
Question:
Should already know I guess but...
Can we just flash the radio and keep the rest of the set-up or do we have to re do the windows installation / un-locking / activation thing?

Just flash radio through bootloader (hold vol down while reseting) and it'll keep everything as is
The radio won't affect your Windows installation at all. Flash at will Just downgraded from 2.14 to 2.12. Now let's see if I will get some more time from it. With 2.14 it was soemthing like 14-15 hrs.
I Will test it when i go home! Thanks mate!
i also found 2.12 better for battery life. although 2.14 seemed ot have slightly better data/voice quality.
The battery life wins out though
I will test it out. THX Mate.

Well depends on the phone you have, I had to reinstall my WP7 DFT rom after downgrading to 2.12 due to constant reboot on the DFT screen. I think one should be aware of it too.

I can confirm that too. Much better
So, how do you check which radio you have from within windows Phone 7?
confirm...however data connection sucks....hmmmmm
Is it just the 3G connections that slow down or would there be a noticeable reduction in speeds over Edge?
Strange... my data connection is the same as always. no slow down at all.
The quality of the data connection depends mainly on the network. If you have good enough coverage you won't notice a difference at all.
Do you get call problems,ie does the phone crash after calling with this radio ?
no changes in signal strength but the calibration for the battery meter is horribly unstable atm... if I do a hard reset after a few hours the battery meter goes higher lol
Can someone please re upload this somewhere else?

How are you measuring the battery usage? Is this with just the ROM, or have you installed any apps?
Any ROM will consume a bit after the first boot, and will settle to 1 - 5 mA eventually unless something is wrong.

there's quite a few threads on "battery drain" in HD2 / Android forum, right now cannot provide you with links but you'll definitely find sth, via forum browsing, search or google in xda,
afair one of the chief reasons was GPS location turned on, also some ROM used to have problems with BT in standby, for starters disable all sync / comm / location functions, then check the current and if it's ok start turning them one by one, with a few minutes of standby in between
Battery solved, Black Screen
OK, thank you for your help. I manage to get power consumtion of 6mA in st-by eith "Transformers" version of android from this forum but now i have problems with wakeing up my phone. I will ask here to avoid opening new thread. When My phone goes to sleep it happens that i can't wake-up him. Lights on buttons get light, but screen remain black. Only solution is to remove the battery. My Phone info is as follows:
HTC HD2 T-Mobile

Manila version: 2.5.20121412.2

don't know which build you're using, mine is ACA (SD), in some of the older builds sth similar used to happen, but usually most of the SOD's were shallow, so I was able to get out of them waiting 5-10 seconds between each attempt of unlocking the device, either using power button, of home/menu combo,
what helped for some users was setting the min CPU in Set CPU or CM Settings up from 128 to 245
When I was using SD based builds I have problems with battery drain as well. To solve the problem, power off your phone, power it on while holding the vol. down button, then pull batt and turn it on again. Then boot into Android through Haret. It worked for me, but it got irritating when I had to do that quite often. In the end I just switched to NAND builds, and I never had problems with battery drain since.
O and just btw cyberx85, I think normally we use a 2.15.xxx radio for the HD2. You can try these links on how to get that on your HD2.

A Random Battery Fix!!!
Hi all,
I am running mango 7720 (v2) - radio is still 5.69 for 2weeks 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.
God bless you XBmod-Yuki

Did you sideload any apps after the fresh install though? Been running 7720 on my TMOUS with 5.51T and it was great for about a week, then after a full charge, battery saver would show that i'm losing a percent about every 10 mins. Battery tool says i'm getting between 4-10ma on standby so i find it strange. Battery saver used to say time remaining would be 1 day and a few hours, but now on full charge it says 20 hours. Is battery saver even reliable for its readouts?
I really don't want to reset my phone (done it about 10 times) but if this will fix the drain then I will.

Bluetooth seems power hungry when phone is idle
I have lots of apps & music installed and great battery life as long as i switch off Bluetooth when not in use.
To test standby current correctly:
Launch Battery Tool,
Lock phone,
Wait a couple of minutes to make sure phone has gone into standby.
Unlock phone and wait 10 seconds for reading.
Bluetooth enabled standby current ~100mA
Bluetooth disabled standby current ~6mA.
I am in a 3g area and Wifi is enabled.
