Im using mdejay gingerbread on my phone.. but my phone's battery is draining fast. Which radio is the best for HTC hd2 running android. ?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
for my opinion, almost radio versions are same. The problem is that how did you config your phone. Just disable 3g in mobile networks, uncheck all automatic update, background apps...I used to face problem like you, but now is ok. So try to do what I did above. Good luck.

I get excellent battery in MDJ's build so it must be something what you have installed or have enabled.
There is loads of ways to improve battery life and plenty of topics about it.

Hey guys, I just need some help with my extended battery, its the official HTC one and I am using michyprimers kernel, under Windows mobile the battery readings aretotally off and it just does not work there, and under Android using pongsters newest build and michyprimers kernel I can charge it (at least I think its charging) but the reading stays at 100% all the time and that's just now good hehe I don't want it to die at work because I thought it was charged and it wasn't, just wondering if I was doing something wrong, any help would be appreciated.
Thank-you very much. Dane.

Hey guys, new to the forum and stuff so take it easy on me. Just wondering, I'm running android from my SD card in a hd2, will that make my battery run down faster?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
In short-yes it will.
In long-power management under Android is not as advanced as WinMo, so your battery will last 7-8 hours on a charge with moderate use...even less with data or Wi-Fi or the like.
So it is the android os and not the fact that I'm running an open file from the SD?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Running it from the SD card makes no difference as far as power is concerned, as it's just flash memory, and really no different from the internal NAND of the HD2. Android devices historically have pretty bad battery life, because the underlying Linux kernel isn't really all that optomized for mobile devices..though that is all set to change with a future update in the Froyo code.
In my battery usage it says that the display is using most of the battery, I've adjusted settings and still no better. Is there a way to fix that or will that be part of the froyo update as well?

kind of wondering the same thing..
No reply from the mod so I guess I will do more research and wait till the froyo update. I may look at some other builds as well to see if there is anything better than what I'm running.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Sorry, been busy. The Froyo update I am speeking of, is some kinda of future code change directly from Google...and God knows when it will be sent downstream. Power management saying that your display is using the most power is usually correct, because well, the display is huge and uses quite a but of power. There really is nothing that you can do to make it use any less power. Android on the HD2 consumes alot of power, as do regular Android devices...and there really isn't much you can do about it.
Thanks for the reply. I wasn't mad at ya or anything. Is there a link or something to keep with the froyo updates? All I know is the site where I got this build. I am using the darkstone froyohd2v3 and really happy with it, except the battery usage of course. I'm sure there are other builds, are there any u think are better than froyo?

I'm using mdeejay revolution 1.5 and I can go about 1 - 1.5 days on a charge.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Wow! A day and a half on the battery. That's really good. Is that with little to no usage or are u able to use it a bit and still have decent life? Where can I go to check that out?

Hey guys,
I had installed Android about 2 weeks ago on SD card.
Once boot into Android my battery drains too fast..
If I leave it full charged idle, the battery goes to 0% in about
5-6 hours...
Any one know why this happens and what I can do about it?

Download current widget from Android market and report the battery drain.
Have you tried turning off everything? Turn on Airplane mode, maybe you have something on which is causing the drain.
Have you rebooted the build about 3-5 times.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
I have tried airplane mode, gives me bout 8 hours.. not much... and I think I have booted about 3 times.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Current widget reading please... its free and it's on the Android Market.
change your radio or sd roms
your rom may be eat too much ram , or use less widget because more widget more battery drain and use taskkiller
I installed current widget it shows about 200 to 300ma---omg...
And only bout max 250mb RAM is free after killing all tasks.
I Think its the ram but don't know what to do about it.

250mb RAM is great, but your Current Widget reading should be around 5-8mA (on SD) or 3-5 on NAND. RAM is definitely not your problem, I struggle to get as much as you do after first boot. Most I've ever got is 280 once, after boot.
Backup your apps with Titanium Backup and try a fresh install.
I agree with nigeldg but first format sd card with this tool http://www.mediafire.com/?3241tjhwd8o2vc3.
I will do a clean install and return back...

I think he means specific build e.g. MCCM HD v6 (what I assume you're using) etc.
you can change a good rom,such as NDT miui
I was using v4 and now I upgraded to v6 hd but still through the current app I get the reading of about 275ma while scrolling through screens.....

get rid of the sd version and go nand lol...........if your not keen on that,download root explore and edit your build prop............i can sort the internal low memory killer thats in there which stops a lot of **** running in the background lol...........my battery widget reads 0ma when screen is off without any internet being turned on.its took me a month to tweak edit and work out.............NOW I'VE CRACKED IT

It doesn't matter what it reads when scrolling through screens, put phone on stanby, wait for around a minute or two and then give the reading immediately once the screen is turned on. i.e. what is you standby battery drain?

It looks complicated, so I'll find another one for you soon.
EDIT: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/70/what-is-radio-firmware
The radio firmware controls basic low-level functions like network connectivity, Wi-Fi, and GPS.
Usually upgrading your radio will not give you any new features but will fix connectivity issues, increase range or performance, decrease battery usage, or the like. Some ROM's require you to have the latest radio versions to work.
While a botched radio upgrade can brick your phone, the process is basically the same as upgrading your ROM. Just make sure not to unplug or power down your phone in the middle, make sure you trust the person who released the radio firmware, and try to read some comments or reviews.

Strike out WiFi and GPS. They have nothing to do with baseband, neither HW- nor SW-wise, and are controlled by drivers on application processor - in kernel/user space.
So if switch kernels there may be a better radio for me then works best with my current kernel

@invasion not quite what I was asking but glad you posted. My girls stock mt4g and had ota update that I haven,t, it has diff radio and she gets better signal. But I did learn New stuff thanks

Again:
Kernel governs WiFi/GPS/FM connectivity.
Baseband (radio) governs cellular network connectivity.
They're UNRELATED.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a great ROM MIUI in SD for my HD2.
It will have a great battery life for a daily use ( WIFI and DATA enabled )
It will be powerful, fast and stable.
Do exist a ROM like this?
Sorry for my English but I'm learning it!
I have used JaguarMIUI and liked it for it's speed and stability. You could give it a try too..

Despite never having used it, I would guess MCCM's ROM is good. In fact in my experience every ROM by MCCM is great
