Hi Guys,,
My Name is Sahil and i am new here.
I have HTC HD2 with android Cynogen mod.
I am not at all happy with the battery backup it gives me.
On regular usage like calling,sms,just normal usage no playing games or connected to wifi nothing.
- The battsat application shows a drainge of 107Ma..when only playing music nothing else through headphones.
- What shoudl i do .?
- is it normal ?
- What is the normal driange of battery when idle for you guys.
it may depend on rom, hardware failure and sd card.
did the phone heat up while running or even when you have it in your pocket?
mine heated up with mccm, was slow and buggy and drained the battery in 6 hours. now switched to miui rom and changed sd card. some 10 hours with data (email/facebook/ebay/whatsapp running) and playing some games. more than 2.5 days with stock battery and data off.
try miui
cheers
ps: forgot. it was a hared sd/card build, not on nand.

Hi guys
I have followed (as much as possible) many threads on installing Android on the HD2 and finally succeded but got a few problems in doing so.
I upgraded the Radio first to 2.12.50.02.2 and then to 2.15.50.14 (the first one was better for me) and upgraded the ROM to 3.14.408.2 as released by HTC.
Now Android finally started but it was sluggish and not as responsive as WM. The worst part though was the power consumption that normally under WM used about 5% of battery for a 6 hours period during nightime while on standby with everything off except the phone but under Android used 60% of battery for a 2 hour period still with (I believe) everything off which is unacceptable.
I tried MDJ 4.4 and Core Droid 0.3 and both gave more or less the same results with the last one totally locking up the phone which did not want to come out of standby.
I am sure that I must have done something silly not realizing it but I have seen Android running on the HD2 of a person I met and boy was it going well.
Could it be the SD card with a problem or maybe the speed of the processor tweaked by a customization that I did not see or.......
Any help or suggestion will be welcome.
Thanks
Paolo
First thing I would try is another SD card. I had one (Class 4 PNY) that would give me very high current draw numbers and Android ran very jerky from it (This was when I was running it from SD). Load times were easil 50%+ longer. Both my class 2's ran much smoother and no high current draw issues with identical builds of Android.
had the same issue as OP. jumped onto MDJ's gingerbread nand (now cyanogen mod) and my battery has been lasting on average 15-16 hours with calls, text, internet browsing and music playing. in standby i lose about 1% an hour. at the time of writing my phone has been on for 19 hours & 18 mins
load up an app that tracks usage - spare parts or system panel lite for example, or just go to the settings -> about phone -> battery use. See what's using up all the cpu cycles or power. If something seems particularly high, find out why it's doing it and if you can't figure it out then use a task manager to kill it and see if your performance improves.
full charge 0% after 10h no data or wifi activated! can you confirme ?
nope I had a pretty good battery drain on wp7 even better than winmo 6.5
try to reinstall wp7.
if the problem persists contact the DFD for the problem
and don't forget that this is not a official release from DFD so there are some minor bugs
wait for next releases for a better experience
make sure you have hspl 2.08! good luck!cheers!
thanks guys! i will do a full instal from scratch! i suspect a calibration probleme
installed android then i did a full charge! after that i install wp7! but still have the heavy drain ! what radio version are you using
I charged my phone last night took it off the charger and when i woke it had 10% left :S

Yes. I had the same problem in day one.
I haven't done much testing yet, but I was thinking my battery seems to be lasting very good.... at least in standby. 8-10 hours since I took it off charger and it looks like the battery meter only went down about 20%... so there's still 75-80% left! But like I said, I haven't done that much with it today except play around a few times for 5-10 minutes at a time.
No problem for me.the battery life is very good.
maybe its related to sd card class?! can you give your radio rom version?
Last night i fully charged the battery before sleeping
no wifi or Data nothing
today morning 60 percent gone
but day before yesterday i didnt have this problem, i installed few apps recently (attentive phone, htc hub, fb n few games)
Many people are saying that you should flash Radio 2.15.50.14.

my one is having the same radio and im experiencing high battery drain
battery drain fast,, same here.. run out after 10 hours...
if i used android,,usually 30% would left after 10 hours' usage
Have you checked it without SD card? (to see if it's SD card related)
I have pretty good battery drain, too. Radio 2.15, some crappy 512MB SD-card, data and wifi on, mail/facebook/twitter/google sinc on (every 30mins).
Running for ~ 13h, including WP7 installation, testing, all the setups, etc.
Battery went from ~70% (was not fully charged) down to ~20-30%.
okay guys..seriously a stupid question...how do you check the battery drain with percentage??wp7 has no battery percentage..or is there somewhere i cant see it???i am using wp7 with 8gb class 6 and is fine with radio 2.15!i have it for 10 hours and my battery went down to the half from fully charged..!

you don't (and currently can't, not supported by WP7 API yet afaik) =) you can either estimate by the width of the battery bar, or wait until battery is at 0%.
Can it be that the battery indicator is not reading correctly or that the calibration is incorrect. I had a full battery and one hour later it flashed a low battery message. I booted into Android on the sd and the battery showed 78%.
i had good battery .. when you going to sleep off location and data
Batterylife is OK for me. With push mail ON, some calls, some mails and attachment viewing and 2 market place installs + 2 photos taken I'm at 50% after 12 hrs. It's not grounbreaking but OK. I friend has a HD7 and his unit usually lasts a day. So don't expect miracles from the battery My SD in SanDisk 4GB Class 4.
Yesterday it was GAME OVER after 6 hrs but with at least 200 MB data downloads, over 1 Hrs ot voice calls and constant playing around with the phone.
Hi all!
I tried yesterday [AUG12] AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.5 CM7 build from SD card.
This was my first Android experience with HD2 and must say that i am impressed.
Didnt expected that everything will work so flawless. Deep respect to creators of this build.
I noticed only one problem so far. When i turn screen off (red button) and when i try to turn it on again there is a lag presence (3-10 secs) and again sometimes it turns on instantly. Is there maybe some fix for this behavior?! I mean i can live with this but ...
I have played with device intensive for 2 hours and than i leave it with wifi turned on overnight and battery duration was almost 14 h. Is this good because i dont know what to except from SD build ??
And should i use some autoloader before HTC Sense in WM loads as some advise to maximize batt life or that is no longer necesarry with new builds like this?!

This is a known problem with SD builds, don't worry it is normal.
To check the battery, use Current Widget from the android market, it should show 5-8 mA in my personal experience with the ACA SD build, although some people get even less than that apparently. I think that 14 hours seems a bit low, try using JuiceDefender (Android market) and SetCPU (here on XDA) to maximize battery life.
You may as well disable HTC Sense in Windows if you don't need to use it, and use an autoloader to load Android automatically, makes the whole thing more convenient and I also saw a minuscule improvement in battery life.
Thank you.
Current widget showing cca 160 mA drain in standby with JuiceDefender turned on (wifi and gsm are turned off).
Without JuiceDefender drain was about 230 mA
How to get such low values like 5-8 mA.
Android is started via haret.exe from WM (latest official 3.14 rom)?!

My battery drains at the rate of 1% in 6 minutes when its idle.
Battery drain is an often discussed issue in the forums.
Check out if there is an update for your rom and check the developer board if someone else had the same problem with your rom.
what is the nand android build for htc hd mini that can last longer for 1 day of normal usage???
Both nand builds (CM7.2 and Sense 3.5) lasts 1-2 day if you use only 2G network for calls and some wifi. But the battery is very innacurate: sometimes drops 20% in 5 min, then increase 20% in 1 min without charging, sometimes the phone shuts down because battery suddenly drops from 30% to 1% and after phone restart, battery reports 30% again.
I think it's worth trying if you use your Mini as a secondary phone.
ofcourse sense is better and more accurate than cm7.2 now, but the answer may change with the update we are waiting for.
Sense is more "good looking" than CM but CM is more customizable than Sense.
It depends what on what each prefer .
I know i'm offtopic and i'm sorry for that, but it's so quiet on this forum :d
We all are wainting for updates.

--firstly sorry about my bad english--
i tried almost all android builds including sd and nand versions and i just should say derefass' Sense 3.5 port to our HTC HD Mini is the best. Im using this rom for daily use. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588816)
we all know there is no perfect build has developed yet. Also this ROM has four big issues. Respectively:
1- Battery usage is amazingly nice but battery driver is inapplicable. For example, battery stat shows 20% while actually i have 70 - 60%. so where i know i have 70 - 60% battery? experience. while battery driver states 0% battery and shut down device, i put my device on charge just for 5 secs. after openning device i have still 50 - 60% battery. with that method my battery goes on 2 days for minimal usage, at least 1 day with intensive usage (wifi, wifi hotspot, 3g, etc)
2- video is not working (neither recording nor playing)
3- bluetooth headset and car kit is not working. well i dont use bluetooth headset. not problem for me.
4- system cache size. this one is just a little problem, can be fix easily with third part apps (cache fixer)
i totally recommend this rom if anyone want to install android. i also think all mini users should. seriously, our mini is nearly the best mobile phone in his "beginner level smartphone" segment.
these are my opinions.
i like htc sense 3.5 rom for our hd mini.hopes the update will come soon n the battery driver will show correct battery status n no draining problem.. i;m doesn;t wondering that our hd mini can get sense 3.5.thanks developers
hello, best is Sense. Battery long live and GPS works
