Right now, I'm using SD Android on my HTC HD2..
But it consumes more than 30% of battery power in standby mode for 5-6 hours...
and drains a lot when the screen is on..
1. I'm wondering that how much battery saving will do if I change it into NAND Android?
2. Should it consumes less power and stable like original Windows Mobile 6.5?
thank you
You won't get battery drain which will match WinMo if you use Android, but you certainly shouldn't get such high drain either. Turn off all connections, use JuiceDefender and SetCPU to minimise drain and install current widget to get a better reading. It should be around 7-8ma for an SD build. For me, that amounts to 1% an hour. Also, NAND has better battery life and performance, but bear in mind you won't have WinMo (although in all honesty I doubt this would make a difference )

thanks a lot for your response..
7-8mA for all connections are off?
how about when data connection is on?

Sorry I got that wrong, 7-8 is with connections ON. Connections off should really be at the very most 4Ma. My bad.

No that's far too high. Which ROM are you using? Have you used SetCPU and JuiceDefender as I suggested? Also try killing all apps before turning your screen off.

I'm using nightly ROM, is it not compatible with my HD2?
yes, I installed JuiceDefender.. that's why when wi-fi is on, it consumes less power..
I'll try to install NAND Android, but I'm afraid...

That from is defifitely compatible... I say don't be afraid to install band android it is very easy to just flash a wmo from and go back to stock. I had to do it three days ago to return my phone for insurance ( I cracked the glass screen) and it took me all of 5 minutes to go from nand android to completely stock. I suggest using the hd2 toolkit it does all the work for you

Depends what your phone is doing at the time but even with wifi on, bluetooth paired to a device and listening to music, my phone only hits 230ma
may be he just finished playing a game?
i am using MDJ FroYo Revolution v.1.1 [kernel: hastarin R8]. my radio is 2.14. i had wifi and bluetooth running and i was at 410ma. I stopped everything for the most part and it is resting at 308mA with no programs running. Isn't that high? any ideas on how to cut this down? i see in other post people getting 3-7. my battery life gets ne 4 hours tops. thanks.
just an update to show battery drain. i unpugged my phone for thirty minutes, from a full charge, and i went from 100% to 83% - doing nothing!!! there has got to be somehing seriously wrong here
Only think I can think of is if you try and switch android builds? Maybe try mdeejay or froyostone?

i have tried about 5 so far. there may be some that have better battery drain but they either have poor data connects oor another negative that won't allow me to keep it long enough to test the battery. There has got to be a remedy. thanks for the input.
Hey all,
Quick question - for some reason I have really dodgy battery life in any of the most recent Android builds. This includes the Sense HD and the SuperRAM builds, with both recent MDJ & Hastarain Kernels.
If I leave the device in my pocket for a couple of hours, in standby, the "Battery Use" claims the Display is the primary cause for my battery use.
Just looking at it now, Android System and Android OS are both on 12% and the display is at 57%. That's after the display being mostly off......
I've tried three ROMS, including VBN's Android build, an official 1.66 HTC build and an official 3.14 HTC build. Furthermore, I've tried the 2.15.50.14 and 2.10.50.28_2 Radio's, both recommended for good battery life.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jon
I am wondering the same thing. I am running darkstone hd2 froyo v3 with hastarins 8.5.1 oldcam kernel, everything runs great but it says display is killing my battery. If there is anything I can do about this I would really like to know.

Phew, it's not just me then! If I could be bothered I'd dig up an old sense build with and old kernel and see what happened. However I can't remember which one worked best as I change my ROM on what feels like a daily basis!
I have been using this as my daily build but I really wish there was something I could do about the battery drain. If it is something about the phone that I can't change or if a different kernel or something would help, I wish I knew. Any help would be appreciated.

it's not just you indeed, it's everyone there's at least two threads already about this.
Well, I dont really think its killing my battery life, however i did notice that its lower than when running winmo, I checked the settings and it says display is using 60% of power, I didnt really think anything of it as i guessed the display is easily the thing that requires the most power. So perhaps I have this problem too? I dont really know
Winmo I would get a day, perhaps a day and a half if i was lucky, android i get a day.

That's the thing you see, if the display is off for 2 hours, on for say 3-4 mins while I check my e-mail, it's still at a really high figure. Yes the display causes battery drain, but no where near that much.
I wonder if it's purely a kernel thing??
I only get 5% on my display battery drain.

I've noticed it depends what Android rom your using. The issue for me is either the Android System OS is using 60% & over or the display is using 60% and over. Either way the display or the system is the battery eater in my case lol.

What eating mine is cell standby and wifi, both 35-40% while android system is only 20% and display is 5%.
Sent from my HD2 Droid using XDA App
My display always takes up more than 60% of the power usage, but I have had builds where it's reported very low, I don't pay much attention to that anymore, they're probably not that accurate.
I did ran a quick test the other day of battery usage in winmo vs android. In standby both android and winmo were about 3-6ma. On the dimmest setting with no app running, winmo used 78ma, and android used 95ma, so it's a little higher, but not extreme.
I'm running at a crazy 67%...
For the heck of it, turned off all radio, left thephone @ 70%. Came back 1 hour later, tells me this percentage and the phone is at 63%...
Weather it's the Cell Standby, Display, Wifi or the Android OS, something is always taking power. If your phone drains completely in an hour or a day, the battery usage is just telling you what is drawing the most power percentage wise. 3mA or 300mA, it accounts for 100% of what's being used,screen off or not.
My android os only uses like 5% maximum, display is usually 60 though

Hey guys.. I'm using Cotullas stock Desire HD nand rom... My battery last about a day with a few calls/sms...(Today i woke up and my phone was dead)
With SD card builts i have 2-3 days battery life with only a few calls/sms! Is there any other new NAND built that battery drainage is ok?
Since I've installed a NAND Android build, my phone lasts much longer than with SD card builds.

I'm with Cotullas stock Desire HD too. And now, sometime I see 3ma in standby.
Till now I've never see less then 4ma. So, for me, it`s better with nand Android
I have autosync active... all the time.(weather, email, facebook...)
You can check programs... some program may be is draining a lot of power.
Did you test with clean ROM, without any installed programs?

Awesome, the battery usage i'd say.
Is your wifi on ? i have a normal HD2 (Not Tmouse) and i had massive batt drain above 50mah sleep until i turned wifi completely off.
now i get 2-5mah sleep.

I flashed Android to my HD2 using NAND and now I want to go back to WinMo 6.5. Can anyone tell me how to do this.
Get the WM ROM you want to install and enter the bootloader - turn off the phone and then hold down the volume down button and briefly press the power button. Keep holding the volume down button till you get the tri-colour screen. Connect to PC via USB and run the WM ROM installer.
Download the original ROM or custom ROM.
Put your HD2 in Tricolor Bootloader mode by holding the VOL-down button when powering on.
Flash your ROM.

Its because you are either using an old/crap rom or you havent done enough research.
I have tried MANY roms and most of them now have excellent battery consumption. Between 1-5mA on standby.
Make sure you try things like remembering to turn off bluetooth/wifi when not using them aswell as have a upto date kernel/rom, also make sure that your radio is a uptodate version.
There is loads you can do, you simply cant be bothered, that is your problem. Battery consumption used to be a big problem, that simply is not true anymore.

and yes i use task killers doesn't help much. thanks
There are several guides out there detailing how to increase your battery life. Many of them tell you not to use a task killer as they actually increase battery usage as it unnecessarily kills tasks that aren't draining power at the time. The most obvious ways are to shut off WiFi, GPS, and Data when they're not being used. After that, conditioning your battery would be the next thing to try.
Please use the search function next time
plenty of info on this subject, no need for new topic.

Cause in standby you can still receive calls ?
You can be waked-up by the alarm ?
Your phone can be very useful and much needed even if you leave it on standby almost all the time
The one obvious and often overlooked battery consumer is simply the screen.
It drains much more than the Wifi, 3G, GPS etc. Thus set the brightness as low as possible, and let it timeout quickly.
wifi
where you can, use wifi as much as possible as this apparently slows down the drain compared to using your data

Ever tought about going NAND instead of a SD version?
If u want best battery life and good speed/everything NAND is the way to go.
I can imagen u want to stay with WinMO, but if u dont .. GoGoGo!
When NAND or even RAM wasnt released i also used SD, but this gives a big battery drain, cause your phone has to keep loading files of the SD all the time (to keep android running).
I use my phone every 10minutes of the day, and i never got half a day on SD, now with NAND like 24hours extreme use.
