I am using Pdaimatejam 6.5 and the battery drain very fast, using focus+powersaving mode is better but limiting the usage of the phone. Hesitating to try to flash ROM without my battery drian improvement, is there any expereince you guys can share? appreciate the feedback!
Im using 7.1 ,its my First WP7 Rom (coming from android)
I have to say the drainage is extreme.
I started playing fruit ninja at 66% nearly 45 minutes later I am down to 2% is this normal?
It seems that even in standby it looses power very quickly.
thanks, did you try to use the 5.51 version radio? the v7.1 coming with 5.71 radio. and your HD2 is TMobile or HTC version?
did some test by myself yesterday, flash V7.1 with 5.51 radio (instead of out-of-box 5.71), wifi off, data on, gps off, 8.5 hours stand by consume 32% of my battery, and stand by current is around -40mHA.
I am using HTC version HD2
i find that most of the time very high battery usage is down to the battery not being charged, it has a habbit of reporting the wrong level of power, for instance, you think its full, and its only 60%, or it might show 1% and its actually 80% full yet the OS still wants to shut down
my advice is to charge, unplug, charge and restart it a few times

you must use one of this combination for better battery life:
radio's: 2.12/5.51 or 2.15/5.51 + camera trick... i have with 2.15/5.51 30-40 hours i normal use...
in default, Pdaimatejam ROM 8107 v7.1 come with radio 5.71 and with that battery life is 8 hours for me....

thanks for the sharing, I have done my test both V7.1 and Ultraruit as well, same result as you:
1. V7.1 with 5.71 radio, stand by current is ~40mHA, focus trick does not work.
2. Ultrafruit, similar current as v7.1(5.71 radio)
3. V7.1 with 5.51 radio, with data, wifi, gps all off; power saving mode on, with focus trick, the stand by currrent is 7-9mHA.
Just curious what kind of magic those users who having data on with low power consumption..LOL

Hi,
I have XannyTECH rom installed Xtrom Leo 2.6 WWE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=565290
And radio version 1.17.25.09.
I am concerned that I am charging it constantly - every night I plug it into my AC charger. During the day I have it plugged into my laptop to recharge.
If I don't it will defintely run out daily.
I use the phone WIFI now and again daily for facebook, email etc.
I have data settings all to off.
I have power settings for screen dimming at 30 seconds, off after 1 min on battery and 1min dim on AC and 2 mins off on AC.
Does it look like my battery is on it's way out?
I have tbattery installed as default and can log the battery, although I do not know what I am looking at.
I always close applications after use via task manager.
Any help/thoughts appreciated - is this normal for Touch HD?
If it is a case of the ROM could be improved for better battery drain then I will change.
Thanks
Hi,
i've used many coocked ROMs, but everytime i wen't back to the original ROM's from HTC because of battery drain.
Then I read somewhere that when you use radio 1.17.25.09, you have to use Rilphone 1.15.25.14.cab.
I flashed BlackStonehenge with radio 1.17.25.09 but without Rilphone 1.15.25.14.cab
-> battery drain
Then I flashed BlackStonehenge with radio 1.17.25.09 and installed Rilphone 1.15.25.14.cab
-> no more battery drain!
Search the forum for 1.15.25.14.cab
It works perfect for me!
It's on the Wiki-page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466274
My phone lasts about 3-4 days with moderate use (which is more than you seem to be using yours based on your description). I recharge when it hits 15-20%. I'd say maybe you need a new battery, if you have already tried different radios.
I tried Rilphone 1.15.25.14.cab as an experiment and it ended up causing problems, phone hanging and not responding etc.
I have reflashed with various roms and some are draining quicker than other. I have gone back to Xtrom Leo 2.6 WWE and the battery seems to be lasting longer although I am charging it every night.
It is 38% now - 8 hours after being uplugged. Today's usage has been about 10 minutes phonecall and about 15 minutes WIFI this morning listening to Radio 1.
I've disabled 3G and always turn WIFI off etc.
I'll order a new battery and try it out, it wouldn't hurt to have a spare anyway
U better try Topix ROM with Radio 1.17.25.09....
Now using this:
- kwbr topix 3.6 WWE
- OS version 5.2.21901 (21901.5.0.92)
- Manilla 2.5.20121225.0
- Radio 1.17.25.09
with Rilphone1.15.25.14
This gave me again batterydrain!!!
Then I installed MMTaskManager1.8.100421
and made sure only these processes are running:
- nk.exe
- filesys.exe
- device.exe
- connmgr.exe
- JBlendDaemon.exe
Now no more batterydrain!
I started messing about with the android builds when they first started to appear and the only thing that stopped me using it as a daily rom was the battery life.
I have been away from the forum for about a couple of months or so and was just wondering what the state of play is now with regards to battery life on the new roms?
Cheers
Well, mine lasts at least about one day and a half with moderate use.
With moderate use I mean making calls about 20 minutes, surfing the internet for about an hour, downloading apps, texting and gaming at least 1 or 2 hours.
When I get home in the evenings I have about 40% left.
My data connection is always enabled.
I never used apps like Juice Defender or something else.
I just have SetCPU und some profiles enabled. Nothing more.
I can get through the day with a decent amount of battery life. I listen to about 20 minutes of mp3's and check xda many times then stream pandora on the way home and I have about 57 percent left and I started my day 5:30am this morning and its now 3:19pm
Its my daily driver as I cant find a point where I need to panic and throw my reserve battery's in even though I have them just incase.
I use shubcraft 1.5 with setcpu settings and data always on.
Well I am still bashing my head against the wall when it comes to battery life. I've tried different builds, settings, registry changes and it just drains away.
Went to bed at 5.40am this morning (after falling asleep on the sofe ) with battery 100%, woke up at 8.45am and battery was down to 77%!
23% in 3hrs in stand by. It does my head in.
Like others its this that stops me from using daily builds.

Have you used current widget to see what your milli amps usage is during sleep mode.
Also are you using setcpu and setting profiles for screen off
I've gotten pretty good battery life 1.5-2 days with moderate use. I'm using Miri's elegancia WINMO rom + Shubcraft 1.5 + SetCPU. I noticed android drains tremedously less battery life on standby when Exceller Multiple Build Loader is used to launch Shubcraft by default set at 3 seconds. I use this setup daily and it drains even less battery then running the WINMO builds i've experienced.
All percents are per hour.
I drain about %1 in standby. (Usually 5-7mA in currentwidget)
I loose around %10 in normal usage when screen is on. (around 140mA with %40 backlight) If I turn on brightness to %100 and use wifi tether it goes up to around %20.
Standby current should never be above 10mA. If you get 60mA then you have high standby drain bug. Try new lights.so file or keep your gps turned of even if you don't use it.
New kernels with new builds don't have the 60mA bug even if you don't turn off gps, or don't keep the lights turned on while booting haret/android.
For people who have high drain:
-Try changing your sd card
-Use a newer evo based kernel/newer build
-update your lights.so file with a new version from gauner1986
-try booting android with keypad lights turned on while you launch haret.
-disable gps
User currentwidget to check your drain in 1 minute interval. Should be between 5-11 in standby. Must not be 60mA in standby.

I believe I have that bug. Only issue for me is this. There are times when I do run android and I draw 5ma in stand by mode, however whenever this is the case I get SOD. If my phone is drawing 60ma in standby mode my phone works just fine with no SOD. So for me its kind of a lose/lose situation. I'm not sure what to do.
My setup:
Miris GTX 2.5
chiasofts moomoo mattc evo 1.01
michyprimas evo r0 kernal
Mine used to draid about 60mA in standby, but updating my lights.so file and keeping the GPS off when I'm not using it bumps it dow to the 3-5mA range. This was the case at least when I used Shubcraft1.5. A lot of the newer kernels have the updated lights.so file already though
How do I update light.so ? may somebody post a link where to find it and how to install it?
I love Android on my HD2 but this Drain bug is reallx kinda annoying when you loose 9% per hour only in standby...
i've got sick usage too..
it drains in about 6 hours standby and 2 hours when screen is on..
i have NRGZ's 28 august energyrom with 2.07.50 radio and mattc's android.. i think i'm gonna update my android and hope it will be better..
I am using the Energy Cookie ROM with Froyostone 3.1 build and the new 2.15 radio. Only using 6-7mA in standby so no problem now to last a couple of days on light use. Call and signal quality is better for me vs. 2.14 radio using a TMOUS phone in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is also unlocked if that makes a difference. Seems to use much less than the standard WM OS. The Android 2.2 is my daily OS now.

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?
sheeze?
don't be stupid

it's simply.. all witch has hd2 tmobile 1gbNAND HAS HIGHT BATTERY DRAIN.
who have hd2 europe 512mbNAND HAS HIGHT BATTERY DRAIN IN 2GMODE, not in 3G
camerafix works only with 5.51T radio
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:]

Can you guys with 7720 build post the battery drain, to see how much drainage the build has?

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.

in theory, it should work, but it wont help considering how fast the battery is draining on the hd2 with 7720.

Hi,
I use ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953078
When I use Mango verion (up to 1.26 (build 8107)). Battery life is ok (up to 9mAh).
When I tried to use Tango (2.00b, 2.00b2, 200b3), battery consumption is about 40mAh with the same settings as mango ...
Whant can I set to reduce consumption?
(BT off, Location off, WiFi off, data off or email after 15minutes, 3G off, camera trick used)

How I can check usage battery ? (mAh)
you can use HTC Battery tool from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10762409&postcount=64
Battery current - is this what I am looking for ?
yes, barrety current ... .
if you can check it, leave phone locked few minutes, unlock it and check values.
...and better when status (current battery) is lower or higher ?
if its not on charge then the lower it is the better, if its on charge youd hope it was increasing the available charge
Hi,
please, do you have any experience or knowledge about problem from first post?
(I checked I have problem with BT HF connection too - in tango. I need pair HF again and again.
If I use Mango, connection with BT HF is very quick and I paired devices one time only)
Thx.

Your battery drain is very high. Check if you have apps running in the background. Are you using WiFi?
Check its charged, it may report high drain but if the battery is half full but showing its full then it can appear to drain twice as fast, also the backlight is the biggest draw of power which doesn't work right,, im amazed its fallen on deaf ears when brought up

BT on settings is perfect (-5mA), until I connect and disconnect to BT HF ...
If I disconnect, battery is -45mA whole time.
If I set BT to off, battery is -5mA again ...
I have bad 3G signal .. so 3G off is better than 3G on FOR ME.
(Tango up to 2.00b3)
Battery was -40mA for all time ...

Is there a rom that works on an extended battery 2300mAh ? I apologize for my language
Tango 2.00b5 - drains battery like a HELL, as other roms too... I don't know those guys were talking about when saying up to 4 days bat life on this forum, but no matter what rom I use, it's less than 1 day bat life without calls, wi-fi and data! With wi-fi - less than 1 hour. Why this crap still can't be fixed since first rom was ported?? It's completely no point to use WP7 in this case.
I use last Mango ...
If I don't use phone, few days (3-5) phone "using" is possible
(BT off, wifi off, Location off, data on, 3g off (bad signal for me), email (15minutes), camera trick after reboote )
If I use phone, 1-2 days are without problem ...

Hi everyone,
I have used an older version of Hyperdroid over the past few month, which worked very well for me overall. Usually the battery managed to last a couple of days.
However, after I tried some different Android NAND Roms on my HD2 yesterday, I reinstalled the latest version of Hyperdroid (HyperDroid-CM7-Observant-Opossum v5.9.0) and noticed a dramatic increase in battery usage.
It drains about 10% in less than an hour without using it.
- WLAN off
- mobile data off
- Blutooth and GPS off
Androids battery use overview lists:
Display 35%
Cell-Standby - 33%
Idle 29%
Wi-Fi - 4%
There are barely any additional apps installed.

Install currentwidget and place a widget on your homescreen. Tell us the battery drain when the screen is off by setting the refresh interval to around 20, leaving the phone to settle in standby for a minute or so and unlocking it and giving the drain immediately displayed (don't wait for it to refresh again) and it should be around 4ma with everything but the phone function itself turned off. Try it in airplane mode as well, here it should be around 2ma. If you mean high drain with the screen on then you're just going to have to live with it unfortunately.

Yes i would definately check sleep drains. But if its when your phone is on, it may also be an update in the CPU governor settings. I would switch to conservative. Especially if you dont game a lot. You can also try changing your CPU voltage levels.
What's your kernel and governor? Any OC? Maybe the kernel isn't allowing deep sleep.

did you do a clean install?did you wipe your battery stats?
if you post some more info about your device then we can help you even more.
i would try changing the governor and then battery calibration (you can find it on the market). i had this rom and if i remember correctly there were some issues with my battery too. i then got the 5.10.0 version and everything became normal again.
or you can upgrade to the latest version 6.0.0. i just installed it runs smooth as hell!!!
good luck!
Even I'm using the same rom and the battery drains heavily only when using applications and playing games. But can anyone help me how to upgrade it to version 6.0 with detailed instructions.
