After unplugging the phone turn the camera on and record for about 15 secs and your battery should last for about 2 days or longer. I tried it on 3 different HD2 with WP7 and it worked perfect
I know it sounds stupid but don't judge it before trying it !!!!
If you try this pleas let me know if it works with your HD2 too

Hi
I ask if i remove the battery or i charge the phone
should i make this again or not
thank you
hi
The trick works untill you reboot your phone or change battery.Then you have to do it once again.Thats it.
The only solution that worked for me amongst all the options (based on my experience)
1. Tried the camera trick - NOT WORKED
2. Followed the steps below - NOT WORKED
* Boot the phone to MAGLDR
* Select "Reset" option from the menu
* Phone reboots normally
3. Hard reset the phone - NOT WORKED
4. Charge the phone in magldr USB storage option - NOT WORKED
5. Finally, flashed the 2.12 radio, did the camera trick (not sure if its relevant). The battery life has improved dramatically. It lasts more than 24 hours and still running (26% left) - WORKED.

my experience not good with 2.12... draining battery is improved with 2.12 on my device.... in stand by battery drain is 40% in 6 hours... with 2.15 is much better for me...
Thanks OP, will try this.
I read that SD cards are the main cause of battery drain.
I have changed the radio from 2.15 ---> to 2.12 , Better sound better signal , Battery but we have for sure a bit of duration improvement not something extraordinary though .
BUT !!! i Have experienced something else.
I have bought a Chinese battery 1650 Mah and i left the battery drain completely.
(you need to be careful with that point cause after the windows will not start if no power !!!) and then the battery can charge (from the HTC official charger) only up to 60% and it lasts more than one 1 day simple doing nothing on the phone . With normal use lasts only max Half day.
But when i charge the phone to Pc or rapid travel charger the battery completes the full 100% capacity .I Believe that this has to do with the software & battery that do not recognize probably the full capacity,
Keep in mind that if the battery is charged up to 60% with the official charger I gain better duration than 100% charging from PC.
…still a big mystery the battery on mango !!!!
Thank you very very very very very very much i'm gonna try it
Good !!!!!!
Different radios never worked for me so I just stuck with 2.15.
Indeed hard to believe, but the video trick helped! Before the Battery was down in about 10 hours, now 8 hours passed and still 75% capacity. Thanks very much!
German HD2 from O2 with mango 8107.79, followed this thread installing it with xboxmods autoupdate. Great work, actually much easier than installing most commercial software packages! ;-)

what is this camera trick? link?
I am also having massive battery drain.
According to the Battery saver under settings, I was at 100% 5 hrs ago (estimated 1 day and 19 hrs of usage left).
5 Hrs from when i unplugged my device from charger, it is now 2 hrs left (which i estimate to be 30 minutes before the device goes dead).
battery is horrible on this build. anyone else?
btw, my bluetooth doesn't work either.
strange, please try to do camera trick. My HD2 7720 use 10% battery per 7 hours. so far so good. Btw I can not install .xap file on 7720, is this rooted or not ?
How come is this related to development, this thread belongs to Q&A.
Please Post in the correct forum.
can someone please confirm if the camera trick is simply:
1. go into camera app.
2. click into video mode.
3. exit to main screen by pressing start button?
is that it? am i missing something?
if it is that easy, where is there SO much junk just to specify how it's performed?

YOU CAN'T CHANGE RADIO IN YUKI'S AND XBMOD'S ROM, it changes every upgrade with new one.
so, use 2 batteries if you don't have right autonomy
Guys..with some roms like Yuki v5, you need to reboot if you have charged your phone to full..to show correct reading and drain..so try it:]

Green Mango (mango beta 1)
anyone measured the current drain with HTC battery tool, im just finishing updating the 7720 language packs and will test it .. It will be nice if we could update the radio with the WP7 update cab sender.. we could try other radios, i know that the 5.51T works very well with my 2 t-mobile HD2´s.
Particularly my battery has lasted as in other versions. But now I started using economic mode available in Mango, which in turn made it last longer still.

Mine is the same way. Just a few minutes (10 to 15) doing things on mine from a fully charged battery and it goes down 20%.
I think it has more to do with magldr than the ROM, though. My other HD2 is using a cLK version of Tytung Android and it is the actual first Android build I've ever used that has acted like a stock ROM. The battery life is great and in standby it stays charged really well. Not so with the magldr version. In standby with the same ROM booted with magldr, the battery drops quickly.
There are people here experimenting with different radios to try and get the battery drain down. Both the hardware and software radios and different combinations of both.
As changing the hardware radio is easier at the moment than the software one (you have to re-flash and update to mango), you may want to try that.
Good luck
I have the same configuration but mine works fine (after doing the camera trick the battery last more than 24 hrs.). Maybe it is due to the battery lifetime, capability, quality or any other hardware issues.

whats up with that?
Everytime you start the phone or after a reset, you have to do the camera trick.
Also, when you take a picture... before you shut down the camera, do the trick again.
After the MANGO installation, also download and install 2.12 Radio. That seems to be keeping the drain down a little. After I installed the 2.12 radio AND keeping an eye on the camera trick is done, the phone lasts for 1 day and 9 hours. (It's been 1 day and 10 hours now, 11% left...)
update 2.12 rom works!
update. I flashed with 2.12 rom, then did a factory reset, then camera trick.
Now 16 hours after the charge, made a few phone calls and some light internet surfing, I still have 48% battery. This is a remarkable contrast from yesterday. Don't know if this is due to 2.12 or the camera trick, but the combination of the two definitely worked. Now I ca keep my Mango

I also flashed 2.12 earlier today and have just now done a reset (in the "About" menu) and am going to see if it helps with the BL. Mine was down to about 45% after just probably 3 or 4 hours...in standby. Not being used at all.

Like this, but don't back out of the camera, tap the homescreen button. You want to leave the camera running in the background.

Regarding flashing the 2.12 radio and then resetting it, something helped. I won't say flashing the 2.12 radio helped because I flashed it first and later I did the reset. My HD2 still drained faster than an old Chrysler sucking gas through a straw. But after the reset, it is still at about 85% since last evening about 8:30PM. It is currently 1:11PM the next day. So that gives me about 17 hours on this one charge. And no, I am not exaggerating. My previous post lists the time I flashed it to 2.12...actually before I made the post. And I just now took another look at it....about 5 minutes ago. It hasn't been used at all during that time period and, in fact, I haven't even set it up yet....no wifi, no syncing of any kind, not even signed into my account. After resetting it, I simply set it aside and did nothing with it. So lets see how it does after I begin using it again...syncing, turning on wireless and all.
My current is -318!!! And I only have 3G on. I tried the camera trich and it does nothing. Any other suggestions.

I'll help.
Put your HD2 in bootloader screen by powering off first, then press and hold the down-volume button and tap the power button. Hold the down-volume button till the red/green/white screen appears.
Then connect your HD2 to your PC and at the bottom is should say USB once Windows sees it.
Once you have the appropriate radio file downloaded and unzipped, open its folder and click the "LeoCustomRUU.exe" file. You may need to right-click and open it with "Run as Administrator".
Go through the checks and it will flash the radio. Once finished, disconnect your HD2 for your PC. It will reboot and your new radio is flashed.
Regarding the battery usage of my HD2 after a reset, I can report that I'm now seeing above normal battery life. Earlier today, around 1PM, I set up my HD2 and established all my accounts...3 email accounts, FB, Twitter with default syncing...and enabled wifi. All of the usual stuff I normally use except the installation of all my previous apps.
Currently the battery is exactly 70%, according to the built-in battery saver menu in the settings. It has not been charged since yesterday about 8:30PM. That's approaching 24 hours since a charge.
EDIT - I took a picture of the current battery condition. It shows time since last charge and time left on charge plus the current charge level.

I have been using the camera trick, but I don't really have faith in it that it is doing anything useful. Once I see how far this first charge will go, I will do more experimenting like not using the camera trick. Right now I want to leave my HD2 exactly like it is...not using it, just leaving it in standby...till the battery dies out.
It's actually not all that good for standby battery life. Being in standby, it should last much longer than the projected 54 hours on this one charge. My iPhone will last longer than a week in standby. My Inspire and other HD2 with Android lasts about the same as this, though.
And the reset I speak of is in the "Settings" > "About" screen. At the bottom of the screen is the "reset your phone" rectangular box.

Damn, that's nice I manage 1 day and 18 hours on a full charge, according to the battery saver app. As soon as I go to work I use the internet a little (Twitter/Facebook/IE). By the time I get to the office (40 minutes), it dropped a good 30%.
When i'm not using the phone, it's good, 1% per hour or so. As soon as I start using it a little, it goes down like an elevator on meth.
What I also noticed, is that when the signal is not very good, the battery will drain up to 6/7% per 30 minutes... i have no idea what that's about.

And you have done a reset?
Using Battery Tool, my HD2 on Mango 7720/ISV cleanup regularly charged pretty much 3/4 of total battery charge or in terms of HTC Battery Tool the charges were as follows:
FULL 1230
ACR 935
With that being said I 'd previously run NODO on 2.12 with great reception and the same charging issue. Update to 2.15 with Mango degraded my reception, battery life and preserved the charging issue. Then I started seeing posts claiming that flash to 2.12 in Mango improves the overall experience and one of them literally mentioned the charging issue which allegedly disappeared. Knowing what to expect from 2.12 due to prior NODO experience, I decided to roll it back and see what happens...
First flashed 2.12 over 2.15 with battery approx. quarter down its charge and despite better reception my battery constatly charged only three quarters of total charge. Sooo, after reading couple posts on 2.12 radio, and how the battery charges fully all the way to 100% (using HTC Battery Tool to check this), I finally decided to charge my battery in external charger and than once again reflash 2.12 this time with fully charged battery and...
No more three quarter charge . Will do some repetitive charging to test and confirm but so far it's always charging all the way! .
Hope this helps someone who's suffering the same half ass charging annoyance .
PS: Drawback to this is need for external charger or properly charging phone

Uhm... WP7 might be considering a theoretical maximum, just like android does with it's battery calibration.
Difference is, Android has on-the-go battery index recalibration. If it reaches the theoretical maximum (100%) and the charge is nowhere near 20/10 mAh, it keeps charging and set's the new maximum to the new charge (i belive it has a arbitrary battery units, at least Android on HTC Kaiser does).
What you're saying is, only flash WP7 if you're charge is at, or near 100% on WM6.5/Android Otherwise WP7 will waste battery charge

Even better... In case that your battery does not charge properly there is no need to repeat WP7 install, only reflash your radio .
Yes, you may ask how device radio rom could have any effect on WP7 installation which comes with it's own radio drivers after all, but today I can attest that it does. My phone is regularly charging all the way to 1190 out of 1230 all the time as opposed to post Mango Rom flash value of 935 and all I did was reflashed device radio with fully charged battery .
Appreciate the Android analogy .
PS: I presume that it does not charge full 1230 due to phone not charging in USB flasher mode and during flashing process

I suppose it's HTC HD7 based as far as drivers for individual device components go. After all, people who are getting their new WP7 Roms activated (on HD2) literally tell Microsoft customer service reps that the activation is for HD7...

Hi.
There is no other way then complete WP7 Rom reflash if you'd like to switch actual WP7 radio but hardware level radio driver (OS independent) can be upgraded/degraded without resetting or reflashing your phone . Note, I am talking about radio e.g. 2.12 and more as made available via the link in post #1.
With that being said, if there's any radio on that list that suits you or if you're in possesion of Australia compatible radio then all you have to do turn of your phone, next hold volume down --> power on your device and wait for the rainbow screen to appear (kernel flash interface ). Once your phone is connected to PC, your interface type will change from serial to usb and do your thing as instructed under the radio rom link in post #1. Let us know how do you and if there's anything else that could possibly prove helpful
Regards to Australia
Interesting.....
I was only getting a 75% charge with Mango and 2.15 so i flashed my radio back to 2.12.
After an immediate restart the battery charge graphic then showed 100%. Weird.
As the amber light was on I left the device charging into it changed to green. I then reflashed back to 2.15 and I have been getting a more accurate battery charge graphic ever since.
Ooh and the bonus, my battery is lasting longer between charges. Yey
Are you supposed to charge the device until green before flashing?
How long does your batt. last? On the worst day I had 4 hours batt. time (with BT on and WIFI on).
Today without WIFI and BT on the batt. seems to be lasting something around 15 hours.
I fully charge to green before I do anything nowadays.
I rarely use WIFI but I do have two email accounts set-up which check for mail every 30 minutes. With moderate talk time and two hour train surfing time I'm getting about 20 hours between charges. Which is considerably more than before.
my battery loses 10% on 30 mins, that's so LOL..
I have 7720 with 2.15.. with camera trick..
i'm gonna try the 2.12.. just a question, DO i need to HARD-RESET(by phone7 about screen) after the radio flashing?

Hi...no, do not hard reset your phone at all. Whenever CustomRUU completes the ROM flash procedure, simply close RUU on your computer screen and your phone will restart (you will be exiting the rainbow/kernel USB interface). Mango install will be fully functional just as before you shut it down prior to flashing new radio .
Srry to hear about your battery drain issues...hope this will help to decrease it by a lot.
Let us know
The only solution that worked for me amongst all the options (based on my experience)
1. Tried the camera trick - NOT WORKED
2. Followed the steps below - NOT WORKED
* Boot the phone to MAGLDR
* Select "Reset" option from the menu
* Phone reboots normally
3. Hard reset the phone - NOT WORKED
4. Charge the phone in magldr USB storage option - NOT WORKED
5. Finally, flashed the 2.12 radio, did the camera trick (not sure if its relevant). The battery life has improved dramatically. It lasts more than 24 hours and still running (26% left) - WORKED.

Hi to everyone
after death of my previous hd2, i bought a brand new one with fully working battery
i installed wp7 with no problem, but changed back to wm because it wasn't my taste. but after that, something strange is happening. my battery works fine, with regular rate between 100 and 60 percent. but after that, it suddenly start falling down (60 to 10 percent in half and hour) no hidden active program or network activity
i tested everything. tried different roms, radios, even getting back to original spl and stock rom. but nothing helped
is installing wp7 capable of damaging the battery?
is there any way to recalibrate or wipe HD2 battery?
does anyone have similar problem?
thanks
Hi!
Have you tried running you battery completely down and recharge it fully again several times? That "trick" helped me get some more juice out of mine Seems like the OS can't read the voltage correctly before it has had several complete cycles...

Hi Guys!
I have flashed my HD with Pdaimatejam ROM, this rom is awesome! But I have one question:
Every time I made a hard reset, my battery status show about 1 day and 10 hours of lifetyme in 100% of charge.
After 5 or 6 days, HD2 shows about 20hours in 100%. and so on...
This happened also in ROM HD2O I had installed few months ago!
This is normal? Or a radio problem?
Radio Version: 5.51.09.29_22.32.50.10u
Thanks!

The estimation is based on your current consume ....
I think is more relevant to monitor your real battery drainage using a dedicated application like "Battery Status" or "BatteryTool".

Yes, i know, but i dont changed nothing in my use...
How i can control with Battery status or Battery tool?
Hi!
WP has to "learn" how you use it so the first week or two you'll notice the battery status changing a lot It is practically unusable so I would recommend (like mentioned above) that you install battery status or the htc battery tool. You can find the xap-files on the forum if you do a little searching ;-) As an alternative you could look on marketplace - there are a few apps out there for the purpose!
If you need help to figure out how they work - just ask! :-D

Hi Anders!
Thank you for your kindness in quote! I downloaded the battery tool, and from what I understand it only shows the percentage of the battery, right?
Also downloaded the HTC battery tool, it shows me some more accurate data, but do not know how to use them, you could help me to improve?
I noticed that my HD2 spends too much power in standby (like 4 or 5 percent at hour without use, with 3g, wifi, localize and more off), is there any way to minimize this?
Thanks so much!
hug
Sergio
ps: sorry my bad english, im Brazilian!
Hi again!
No worries about your english - understand perfectly ;-)
You are right about the battery app from the marketplace only shows the voltage and percentage remaining. Its nice for your startpage but other than that not that usable.
The HTC battery app on the other hand gives you a great deal of info! What you have to look for is battery current. It should be between 5 and 10 when you have had the phone on standby for some minutes with the settings you describe...
Anything else you would like to know?
/Anders
Sorry to be asking me all the time, but you are helping me right! Thank you!
I installed the tool for HTC battery, the tests and did as you instructed me! it shows the values of -80 to -100: |, is this normal?
can somebody pls tell me why I get only 7-8 hrs of battery life and also why my hd2 always heats up..

drainage and heating is not connected only to those settings, i got on mine all that turned on, + mail sync ewery 30 minutes, and battery lasts ower 24 hours with normal day usage (surfing on 3G is most intense on battery for me)
Its hard to say what is causing high battery drainage, because for me first it was SD card, so after I changed it ewerything was good for day or two, than my screen broke (tough luck) and while i was fixing it, i used an old iPhone which broke my sim card (more tough luck) in way that celular data didnt work, and that caused teriblle drainage when I fixed HD2. So after replacing sim card it was ok again (2+ days on batery saver prediction, but usualy lasts for day and half).
p.s. I use yuki-xbmod rom on adata 8gb C4 sd card

if I let those things turned on, my battery life is halved, this may not be the main but I think it works, right?
I'm using a SD SanDisk's 16GB class 6, once wore a sandisk 8gb class 4 and nothing has changed about the battery life .. it's not strange?
Does the capacity of the SIM influences that too? there are various SIMs sizes right? mine is very old: D
That does sound strange I must say :-( Could you try to turn on flight-mode, let it rest for 30 mins or so and then check the batterystatus again? Then at least we can tell if the radio is draining the phone or not!

I always turn of localization and sometimes use 3g. My data is always on. Am using a 16 SanDisk card. I don't know the problem. Am thinking of doing a task29 and reflashing the rom. Do I have to repartition the size in Magldr? And can u plz give me simple steps in doing it because I will be using hd2 toolkit and that will be my first time. Thank you...
