Hi my hd2 is on a stock windows mobile rom and has a huge battery drain, every 1 minute or so i lose 1% of my battery and even on standby its the same.
Please can anyone help!!!! I have just flashed a stock rom from sd and have nothing on it and it still does it!
did you flash another radio rom? battery performance has a lot to do with it.
formatting your sd card could also help.
I've tried formatting my sd card and have tried flashing many radio roms right now im on the latest one (2.15...) and still it does it.
well the latest doesn't mean that it's the best for you. it depends on your carrier and area. but this wouldn't result in such a high battery drain.
sorry i can't help you then. i would try to make a freash install with task 29 and everything and if it's still not better try another battery.
Ive tried everything..no one knows anything about it
Thanks anyways
Would appreciate if anyone else has this problem too?
Sounds more like your battery is on the way out. Do you have another you could test?
Yupp, i have 3 standard htc batterys and 2 of them are brand new and still it happens
You did not say how long you have had the HD2, whether this problem has occurred from the beginning, or had just recently started. If it's been that way from the time you got it, it needs to go back to the vendor/seller for replacement. If it has suddenly started, what has changed? Other recent threads here note that a change in GMail was causing problems with high CPU levels and fast battery drain. I believe you said in one response that two of your three batteries have this problem. I assume that one of the batteries does not. If so, it sounds like bad batteries.
Sorry i meant to say that every battery that i try, it still has the problem. And also i brought this phone (used) with no problems and i put android on it, one day it turned extremely hot whilst i put it on charge, then what used to happen was whenever i left my phone on standby (screen off) my phone would switch off. But then i changed my charger cable and that problem was fixed but now i have this problem.
In that case could be the cable not supplying enough charge to the battery, or the phone reading battery stats incorrectly. Other than that I'm at a loss.
Tried everything :/
Thanks anyways I guess its just time for the bin :/

Are you using Gmail? There have been a lot of reports about overheating and battery drain from gmail accounts. Evidently there was some change in the way Google handles their accounts.
Nope, not using gmail
theres nothing on my rom as i just flashed it.
if you flashed it new and the problems started at this point you can try to wipe the battery stats in cwm. don't really now what exactly that does but it's worth a try.

thats providing hes running it and not using a stock winmo 6.5 rom
Yeah, im using a stock windowsmobile rom so no clockworkmod unfortunately..
oh right. there was something with windows on this phone ^^ sorry already forgot that.
Hi, did you try the following?
Switch off the phone completely and then remove the battery for approx. 15 to 20 seconds. Then put it in again and start the phone.
When I used this procedure the battery drain was normal again.
BR rainer
tried that still no luck :/
Take out the sim AND sd card. Maybe one of them is going bad.

It just depends how quickly the battery is draining. It will get hot on a call over 10 mins but your battery should last at least 10 hours. So is it draining faster than that?

Hi Mike,
Thank you for replying me. In my case, the battery is draining within 30mins from 100% to 0%. Would you have any idea about the problem?
Thanks!!

Hi asachan
Well that is decidedly not normal. I have seen a few reports here on this problem. A search might show some results I have not tried so far. However, I would do the standard things initially:
1 Remove and reinsert the battery
2 Hard Reset.
If the problem persists and you have a warranty then use it.
If you have no warranty then a detailed search here on rapid battery drain or words to that effect might reveal something.
You may find some people suggesting flashing a new ROM, but check the basics first. In particular, it may be a battery problem so worth checking that.
Mike
the battery should not be drained so quick......
after 2~ hour HSDPA web browsing
then I 've made a few calls (about 15 mins in total)
Then I have a call for 1hr 05mins
I still have 30% remain

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your suggestions.
I tried your suggestion:
When the phone got hot, I removed the battery and then reinsert it(after the battery is cool down). Then the phone becomes fine.
But, the problem happened again and again when I had a call more more than 10mins.
If I don't have any call, the phone will not have this problem and the battery can use around 1 day even I used GPRS to access the Internet.

Hi
If you do a hard reset and the problem is still there then I would use your warranty to get a replacement. If you have no warranty it is more complicated and expensive. It might be the battery or it could be a circuit problem - one relatively cheap the other expensive. You could try flashing another ROM but that might have no effect.

A thing ive noticed is some radio versions can also cause a fair battery drain.. (aswell as 3rd party apps...but a HR would eleviate that problem).. Id try a radio upgrade before resorting to the warranty route??

Hi mrvanx,
I would like to ask which radio rom is better.
Thanks.
Hi Mike,
Thank you very much your reply! The problem is I have no warranty. Also, I tried to exchange the battery with my friend's one. But I still got the problem.
So, I think it could be a circuit problem more than the battery problem. Now I wish WM6.0 can improve my problem. I am waiting the chinese version of WM6.0 now.
Thank you very much! ^_^
All The Best
First off try following my Radio Upgrade Guide, then see what effect that has on the battery life?

Hi asachan,
I have exactly the same problem.... I can pull out battery, then insert it let's say after some hours, then I measure battery current to normal 40ma with radio on, full brightness. And it can be like this for a long time, but usually not long at all, maybe 1-10 minutes, or maybe if I get a call, and suddenly the TyTN starts wasting the battery with currents 300-400ma. I use ACB Power Meter for this. If phone is in my pocket and it starts getting hot, I immediately have to save my battery by powering it off, either by pulling out battery of pressing pwr switch for 5 sec. I am using WM6, have tried most latest versions, and have tried many radios, problem not resolved yet. My phone has been like this from I got it like 2 weeks ago, and I went to the store and requested a new battery but that was not the problem. My first battery went to 0%, big problem to recharge, had to kickstart it with some AAA batteries in serial, huh. Now I have to watch battery all the time, it's a hopeless situation. Will try latest radio 1.43 to check if there's any improvements. If I get a good WM5 I may try that as well, but I do not want that since I like WM6.. if I can only get this device to work normally. Btw, I've also experimented with Bandswitch application to see if that helped, but did not get any further on that neither... next thing is maybe to switch off radio unit, and by the help of an antenna and spectrum analyzer measure if this thing is really readiating something anyway.. I'll do this at work one day I am not so busy maybe. All in all I was very exited to get this TyTN finally, but so far it's been a huge disappointment, it may be a HW error, so if I can't solve it I may have to find some WM put into it and give it back.
@fas73
I see on another post of yours that you have flashed several radio ROMs and with no success.
My gut feeling about this is that the power consumption is so extreme (and this continues even after a hard reset) that it is not something that flashing a ROM (radio or otherwise) will fix. I do appreciate that different ROMs have benefits in terms of power consumption, but this seems so extreme that I am not convinced it's going to be solved by this method, as there seems a strong possibility of a harware problem.
However for those stuck with no warranty, I would follow MrVanx advice and guides.
Mike
Yes, I may have to put this problem into the category "HW error", but the funny thing is that my phone behaves normally when I do this: leave it on and fully charge it, then remove battery for some hours, then start it. Doing this it will always have a normal 30-40ma power consumption, but once battery gets lower or warm during some calls, the phone can get into the high-power-consume state.. I am using Radio 1.43 now and my feelings are it's working better when fully charged, but problem is still present.. I'll see what I'll do..
Just an update to the problem with my HTC TyTN. I happened to purchase a faulty device!!! There was indeed a HW error on my brand new device so I got it swapped with another one that works. Not all problems are SW-bugs..

Pleased you now have one that behaves itself
And yes, you're right none of us should jump to conclusions about the source of the problem. An example of this is the "fading to white screen" problem. I have seen several examples where folks have purchased a new screen but the problem remains.
My very simple rule is that if after a hard reset or two, the problem remains, it's likely to be a hardware problem. (there are always exceptions though, and that', amongst other things, is what this community is for.

Hi guys I need your help for this problem.
The camera won't let me take photos using the flash leds, I tap the icon but nothing happens...it won't change.
The thing is that it worked fine and smooth until yesterday (as far as I remember), I only installed some "innocent" cabs and the hotfixes. Never changed the ROM but now, after the hotfixes, it shows me 2 different versions: when the phone starts it says 1.48.71294 but when I go in phone informations it says ROM 1.48.408.1 (71294) ITA (btw, I'm italian...). Is it the same thing or what?
Now I'm downloading the ROM from the htc support :/. Will it help? donno yet.
The phone works perfect, just this camera thingy is driving me mad. 3 or 4 hard resets didn't help.
Try help me out (I'll go up on the roof and throw my Leo far far away...).
Thx in advance.
EDIT: SOLVED
hi,
great to know your problem got solved. can you please post the solution?
thanks
Funny how it got solved: another hard reset and here I go.
Sorry but this is it.
And make sure your batter is above the minimum charge amount for the camera app to use the flash. I've seen various amounts on here, ranging from 20% to 50%. I'd suggest that if your flash isn't working in the camera app, that's probably your problem. Just make sure you're charged to at least 50%.

this is what I was mumble-mumble thinking last night but the battery was fully charged.
It seems like this smartphone is a work-in-progress but I'm positive and still consider that the price is worth.
I had the same problem: at the beginning I was scared something went wrong on my device. Later I found that under 20% the led flash is disabled by default to save battery.... try, it's the right percentage...
What solved? Share with us!
Not having the flash available under 20% is a real pain - I don't like having my hand held because HTC won't let me decide if the pic I want to take is more important or having my phone last for some extra time.
Does anybody know the registry tweak or fix to enable the flash until the battery is spent?
There's none.
The drain of the flash is so high that if it stayed active under 20% the voltage drop on the battery would most likely cause your HD2 to just shut down instantly when it gives the bright flash when taking the photo.
battery under 30% the device wont allow you to use the flash.

Hi guys.
I don´t really know what´s going on with my LEO
Since I got android on it, it goes off at least once per day suddenly...
I´ve changed ROM´s, I tried 5 different ones, (now I got chuckydoid), format the SD card (eaven I changed it for another one) but still doing it again and again.
What coul be the problem?
It could be the build you are using or some app you installed in Android

does it get hot before it reboots, are you using an overclocked kernel?
Temperature is normal, I have a non overclocked build.
It happens to me with every build, but I thinking that maybe it is an aplication I installed last days...Do you have any problems with "whats app"?
Keep in mind what type of apps you're install and using to find the culprit. Also, try to keep apps to a minimum to see if it helps.
Another thing. Please describe what you were doing when it shuts off. Were you online? Listening to music? What was your battery status?
The battery in Android is not fully calibrated. For example, mine will shut off at 10% almost all the time. When I power it back on, winMO will list the battery as >1%.
The other way round for me....
since I am using Android on my Leo I don't have to reboot any more!!
The other day I ran our of battery and it was weird to see WM again!!
I use FroyoStone Sense -just incase it helps-.
Hey Guys,
So flashed my phone with the cyanogen mod 7 2.4.1 and has been working great.
Yesterday arvo it ran out of battery and shut down, however it has enough battery that it can boot, but seems to get stuck at the little android man stage.
Ive tried alot of methods mentioned in a wp7 thread, however none have helped.
Is there anyway im going to be able to boot into my old rom or is it a matter of reflashing?
Its weird, cause it doesnt run out and then shut down, it just sits at the little android man...
Any help would be appreciated .
Cheers
Alex
So the battery is all good. It will just stay on the android booting stage, and not run out of battery, or reboot. Well sounds like you data got corrupted so you might need to reflash.
ugghh, corrupted just because it ran out of battery?
sigh
Well, im going to try one last thing- leaving it charge on tri colour screen for a few hours and then try booting. If that doesnt work ill reflash
note to self- set titanium backup up to do routine backups!!
Just reflash it. It only takes a couple of minutes, especially if you've got a nandroid backup. Running the battery down shouldn't corrupt the image. I've run mine down to 0 a few times without this happening.
but i cant reflash without losing all my msgs etc. can i?
thats the only reason im trying to save it.

CyanogenMod battery drain
Hi all,
has someone noticed that CyanogenMod 7 on HD2 drains battery ?!
Someone can tell me how to fix it ?!
Thanks.
actually cyanogen mod 7 drains my battery way more slowly than any deshd build i have tried before CM7. One charge lasts for like two days or so. All deshd builds usually had a battery runtime of less than a day for me.

Using SetCpu, and setting up profiles has helped for me. Also, I noticed that the first couple of days, I had high battery drain, but once everything settled, the battery drains settled. I also use system panel which will tell you what apps are eating up the most power. If I notice that an app is hogging resources, then I'll uninstall, especially is it's something that I rarely use or don't need.
Ok for me. I simply restart my sd gingerbread androïd. And my android consums only 6mA in sleeping mode.
Hope it helps

Battery drains like hell.
Hi Guys, my HD2 on CyenogenMod7 Gingerbread 2.3.3 drains like hell. I mean if I charged to 100% at 8am and its already 50% by 12pm. Half in 4 hours. I'm already dead by 4pm or 5 pm max with regular usage. Any suggessions? Please help...
P.S. Cyenogen ROCKS !!! Android ROCKS !!! and HD2 HELL ROCKS !!!
So, my phone have been having a lot of heavy problems. This has been going on for a while and i'm not sure what to do. The problems include:
- Extreme laggyness
- Heavy battery drain (2-3 SOT)
- Random reboots
- Random freezes
- Not rebooting
- Only rebooting in recovery
- Dying at 30-40% batt, and bootlooping until I put a new battery (a fully charged one) or charge it
I have tried full wipes, custom ROM's and stock ROM's but nothing seems to work. Atm I'm running stock android 6.0.1.
Is there anyone having the same problems (or have had the same problems) and has any ideas on how to fix it? I have to 3.5 more months until i can get a new phone so it's pretty necessary.
same(ish) issues...
I have the same issues... And I'we also tried "everything" .
I am starting to belive that this has to be some kind of hardware failure... it seems like some use in a way eats up all the memory... I have also tried to stop all background processes, but this doesn't seem to have any effect. The problems happen on all ROMs I'we tried, so it cant be software... But I'm no expert...
One thing that seems to help is not using some google apps, like chrome, and hangouts... When I launched this app it just died right away, but after uninstalling them, it "lives" a bit longer...
glad for any help I can get...

Disable app optimising in battery settings.
Use wake lock from app store and set to level 4.
☆Try a new battery☆
I had every issue you have listed... I replaced the battery with a new official samsung battery and it's been perfect since, not even a single reboot.

Had some ideas about the problem being the battery (I use an external charger) but to me it didn't make sense because I don't see how the battery could influence the software. You only had the problems with the battery or also the other ones (bootloops, lagginess, freezes, strange messages like 'sim card was removed')?
Thanks for your response.

Had all the same issues as you guys. The freezing, lagging, apps crashing and restarting at like 90% then boot looping until plugged on to charge. I tried all solutions, different roms, downgrading, completely stock. Bit it was the battery replacement that solved it finally.

I actually tried some stuff for my self... Let debugging run and when it seems to get worked up, I'd just let it lie, I aslo tried tweaking the kernel, so that not so many background processes run at the same time. I'we had it running for about 18 hours straight! Last night I was browsing, installing apps and changing icons and fooling around with settings on 13% battery. Alarm worked this morning, and I'we been using it for more or less as I would use my s6, but a bit more patiently. At about 48% while running Instagram and play music it suddenly crashed. Now its up and running again.
Its still very clear that something isn't right and I will look into your battery solution...

Here what I have done !
Hi dear !
I were facing this problem a month ago as my
phone gets reboot randomly as well as
shutting down by it self at 60 % !!!
Can you imagine that !
What I have done dear that I changed my
' class 4 ' microSD card to a new ' class 10 ' one as well
as I have changed the battery !
And you know what dear !
I have no longer facing this problem !
It had been resolved !
Now my phone is working fine since the last month !!
Hope it helps ??
Hi folks! I was having the same issues too apart from the battery drain. My phone was lagging, restarting, getting stuck on the 'Note 4' bootup screen. I reflashed and reset. Cleared Cache etc etc. But I also got a mmc_read error. Apparently it was an internal memory error. So I sent it back to be repaired as it's just under warranty. Looking on the repair status I *think* they've ordered a replacement mainboard and will be installing it. I'll also order a new battery when it comes back.
Can anyone recommend place or web site to buy genuine Samsung battery as 99% there is counterfeit ones?
Yes, bad battery makes your phone unstable. Had same issues on Note 1. When bought new battery all gone.
Thanks

Not all the problems are gone, but it definitely helped. Problem is that i bricked my phone now lol.
I think Samsung is to blame for battery problems,i use
Samsung Pro+ microSDXC 64gb class 10 UHS,after upgrade to Marshmallow battery went crazy,tried all 6.0.1 custom roms with BL and CP mentioned there,nothing the same fast battery discharging,went back to 5.0.1 perfect,next i went to 5.1.1 perfect ,back to Marshmallow same problem,now i use SimpLite v5 5.1.1 N910F....
Thank You Samsung !!
