Hi
I just purchase Topaz
also i'm new to the windows mobile phones
I'm completely like the phone but i have a weird problem with it
while i use it i notice the battery produces too much heat that i can notice
the battery can be drained very easily with any action
I just turn off my phone it was 21% charge i noticed the heating issue
and i turned it on again and the battery was 14%
just to restart my phone i lost 7%
Is the heating issue normal?
The battery drain is it normal?

Well, Its normal to get hot when taking a long call.. (10 min or more), but while in standby, it should NEVER get even WARM (mine stays cold as ice ) !!!
The power drain maybe is cuz your phone is heating.. The heat expands circuits and increase the power drain.

Not normal if the phone is on stand by mode (And I believe that`s what he`s saying ) !!!
I just installed Copilot
the battery was 14%
after the installation ended and the phone restarted
it got about 4%
Also i used the MP3 player for around and hour the battery dropped about 20%
how's that?
or should i take it back? I'm still having the phone warranty

About using the MP3 player for 1 hour and drop 20%, its normal.
But, 14% then sunddely goes to 4% ? Thats not freaking normal...
Just take it back to warranty ok!

I wouldn't rush to send it back. It all sounds normal to me.
You must remember that the batteries will take a few weeks to attain full capacity operation.
Keep them on charge as much as you can (mains or car/plane etc), don't switch off at night, don't cycle them and don't drain them excessively.
If that does not give an improvement THEN take them back.
When I first got my TD2 I was appalled at the battery life and bought a spare battery. I have never used it.
And when they get warm it shows that they are happily being used or recharged and is no cause for concern.
Hi Cairo,
First of all, sorry for my english.
In my case, I bought my TD2 this summer, & I had some of these problems with the battery.
I'll tell you my steps, perhaps it could help you, if not, you must talk with HTC support.
First, use modaco's nodata to disable HSDPA/3G, use only GSM, it's much better to save battery. the link :http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/
Second: Active Sync.
You need a task manager to see notifications.
you must find one of the repllog event.
Use this http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm.
In notifications tab find "repllog AppRunAfterTimeChange" and disable it.
In my case I have disabled two events more, PushInternetScheduleTimeChanged and PushInternetScheduleTimeChanged1 and everything works fine.
After that, in process tab, if repllog appears, kill it, and in notifications tab find again the event "repllog.exe /remote /h",disable too, and use a reg editor (dot's taskmgr has one) and search in hkcu\software\microsoft\ActiveSync, find "KeepAlive" and you must change 1 to 0.
In this case, activesync will never start again, till you connect td2 to laptop or pc with activesync (it changes the value from 0 to 1).
I hope you could understand me and the info is ok for your td2.
Regards

Thanks a lot makix
your post were really helpful
i was looking for the way to disable HSDPA and i couldnt found it
Thanks a lot for your help
Hi Cairo,
the hsdpa is in Settings->More->Connections tab->Advanced Network and then u must disable hsdpa.
in settings->communications->phone->advanced->band
I've gsm and gsm(900+1800)umts(900+2100).
(my winmo & touchflo is in spanish, but i hope u can find the options )

I disabled it
now my phone after one day of use with about 30 minute GPS of use
and 30 minutes of Mp3 and its 50%
better than befor
So, I'm at a loss of what to do here. No matter what settings I seem to use I can't get good/decent battery life.
In fact, I get terrible battery life. With light to moderate usage I have to charge my phone at least two times a day, mostly three. Current widget reads that at standby I'm anywhere between 55mA-70mA and when in use 200mA-500mA. When charging it reaches 400mA-600mA
I see everyone talking about being able to get 5-10mA and I'm amazed at this. I've searched and read most "Battery saver" threads and none of it seems to work.
I was originally using Chucky rom lite and when I noticed the drain was abnormal I switched to the set up that chiasoft uses in his ReadMe for the ROM (stock 2.10ROM/2.08 radio).
Although since switching to the stock WinMo ROM I had repeated BSOD and SOD issues. To the point that it became unusable. I switched over to latest Energy ROM.I installed EBL and on both Stock and this Energy ROM. I am still having BSOD/SOD problems. Could it be the EBL? I plan on upgrading the radio to 2.12 in a few after I test out this EBL theory.
My setup as of this post is this:
WinMo ROM: Energy.BLACKSTONE.21916.Sense2.5.Nov.08 (Switched back to Stock 2.10)
Radio: 2.08.50.08_2 (Switched to 2.12)
Android: MooMoo Froyostone Sense 3.2 w/hastrain kernel
SetCPU:
998max/245min Ondemand on boot
Profiles: Screen off; Priority 100; 384max/245min ondemand
Battery <25% 576max/245min Priority 0 ondemand
Sampling 20000; Up Threshold 40
Advanced Task Killer:
Kill Level Agressive
I really don't want my LI-ON battery to die before I've even had the phone for the year. So if anyone can think of anything to help I'd be ever so grateful.
And of course, thanks to all the people who make all this possible.
(Sorry for the tl;dr post. I wanted to give as much info as possible.)
when you fully charge your batter what is your mV ? use the battery life widget to determine this. If it is not nowhere 4000mV once fully charged, you might need to consider buying a replacement battery.
btw. my mA reading is actually worst than yours. Might have to calibrate the battery again later.

idk what it is fully charged. I'll be sure to check it later though. How do you calibrate the battery?
Also, I realized that I made an oversight on my part. When I switched to the stock WinMo rom I hadn't realized fully that it changed my Radio to 2.08 even though I posted it.
The rom chef recommends 2.10ROM/2.12 Radio, so that's what I switched to to check out that combination.
btw change it to interactive not on demand.
you charge the battery when your phone is off. Till your charge indicator turns green.
Once that is off. you can use root explorer or adb and go to rm/data/system delete the batterystats.bin leave your phone plugged in while you are deleting the batterystats.bin file
i prefer root explorer. but its not free and your device has to be rooted.
let the phone drain the battery till its dead and turn it on again to make sure it is completely dead.
charge the phone like you would usually afterwards.

Yeah. No interactive settings. Also, that guide recommends 1190 max, but mine only goes up to 998.
Also, I finally got it to down to 7mA in standby. When I changed the radio to 2.12 and using a 2.10 stock WinMo rom.
no issues here getting 48 hours of light use, or a full 24 of moderate use...
I've yet to "condition" my battery. I'm worried it'll do more harm than good. Especially since I just got it finally to a decent mA draw. Although I'm worried my phone won't charge up to 100%. Always stop at 95.
Is conditioning really necessary/important?
easy answer... whats your full charge voltage? shuld be 4.2
if not , your looseing batt life..

yes full charge voltage should be around 4.2. Try charging it with the phone OFF till your charge indicator is green. This way you can achieve a full charge.
By the way how the hell are you getting 48 hours on light usage?? excuse my language. What are your setcpu settings, configurations. etc.

Yeah, 48 hours seems improbable. I finally got it down to 7-10mA on standby, and I think it charges up to 4.2 but I'll find out for sure tonight.
same
I had the same problem, make sure you use EBL android launcher and set to autoboot at 3 seconds. Make sure you restart your phone anytime youw ant to load android. I assure you this will work.
My HD2, like all others can be flattened in 2-3 hours with windows/android if used hard, the difference seems to be on very light usage/standby win mobile could last 4 days... with everything turned off and basically not used Android would struggle to last 2 days !
Same phone same network/signal levels etc, can only be poor power management within Android, and I think that means voltages for all the processor and comms modules, not just a simple case of turning down speeds.
What do others think ?
Update: Upon switching to WinMo:2.10 and Radio:2.12+ MooMoo's MMS fixed froystone3.2 I was achieving 6-10mA in standby. The phone would last all day with a two-three hour charging period with moderate usage. Low battery use, rare DC's. Perfect. Best build I've used so far.
I'm noticing a new problem however, and I wonder if it's happened to Chiasoft who recommended this build. I'm getting serious touch screen freezes since last night. Anytime before that the set up was working AMAZINGLY.
Now? It's almost unusable sometimes. This morning it was happening in Android so I switched to WinMo and surprisingly enough it happened in there too. So I read touch freezes are Radio problems mostly. Is this true? Should I switch to a new radio? I'm confused as to why it would just randomly start happening though and worried it would mess up my battery troubles I just solved.
Any advice?
Hmm. I noticed that it almost always freezes when I hold down the end home button to turn off the phone or data or to silence it. I can't actually use the touch screen again until I hit the button again to put it to sleep.
I wonder if it's hardware related because it was happening in WinMo that way as well.
Okay, so now the entire adroid system is acting up mostly related to the touchscreen. Like I use the calculator and it appears that i'm holding a button down. Or I try to make a call and it's not responding. It appears that when I hit end call button repeatedly it allows me to unlock the phone. But when holding down the end call button to get to the Power Off screen nothing in that menu is responsive.
It seems... software related, but I'm not sure. Any info would be helpful. I'm going to reformat my card and reinstall droid and see what happens.
So, called t-mobile. They're sending me a new replacer phone. Oh well. We'll see how that one goes.

I give you only a very short suggestion
You have just to DELETE SETCPU
and delete ANY TASK KILLER (you can keep it just to close any apps that could hang, but not to "free up ram")
Android is not Windows, you dont need to free up ram, and you dont need to overclock/undervolt to gain some minutes of battlife despite stability.
Talk to any Dev and they will confirm this.
Good Luck
I am really going crazy!!!!!!!!!!!
Tonight again after 8 hours of standby it went from 100% to 70% !!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is not normal...
I only have: weather every 6 hours, facebook every 2 hours, pushmail (but usually I turn it off at night)...
I do not have data autodisconnect, but untill a few days ago I never had drain issue...
I tried monitoring battery with a bat log program, and in standby it never goes lower than -75mA...
Signal at home is eprfect, so it cannot be a signal problem...
Could it be that my battery (after 1 year an 3 months) is nearly dead and in discharging quickly? How can I verify?
I am also attaching the datalog usage and as you can see there's not many data connections going on in standby: 22Kb from 22:00 till 23:00, 1Kb from 2:00 till midnight and 96Kb in 6 hours from midnight till 06:00am. I don't think that this data usage could justify a 30% drainage in 8 hours...
Thanks
75mA drain in standby is not normal, in WM you should be at 2mA.
If you can't identify which program is not sleeping then I would flash the newest stock ROM and see if this cures the issue.

When did you format your SD card for the last time? A heavily defragmented/malfunctioning SD card can cause huge battery drainage. So, if I were you, and it's a fairly long time ago, I would format SD Card (shut down device- take out Card and put in Reader - insert in PC -right click SD card and choose formatting (slow metho/ds) - after finishing reinsert Card in device and format again with SD card formatting tool). My battery is as old as yours and my overnight drainage in standby (with data connections on) is 3-4% max.

Sorry, hoped that this would be the "simple" solution of this problem. Does your battery take longer to fully charge than usual? If yes, than, certainly in combination with the drainage, I would replace the battery. Can't you borrow one to see if it's really the battery, cause that is still the best test to do? Maybe a superfluous question: did you try a hard reset?
regards, Kuzibri
Edit: forgot these two ones:
1. do you have sometimes the issue that during charging your LED goes from orange to green and back?
2. Clean the pins of the device, look if they function well and are equally high and also clean the contacts of battery with a soft clot

I have observed this problem also. My tool ResInfo showed me that the device does not change to standby. Only the backlight is switched off. The histogram of the cpu load shows that every few minutes a process becomes quite briefly active. Nevertheless, I could not investigate which module was responsible for it.
Since the ROM update from 1.72 to 3.14 I have not experienced this phenomenon any more.

Hi,
how can you tell exactly that the phone is not really going to standby?
Would it be possible, in your tool, to add a log function (in csv format) for both battery drain and cpu usage?
I am currently using a task manager tool which in real time shows the running tasks and their cpu usage, but this is almost useless in standby.
What we really need is a tool that, also in standby, keeps on logging active tasks and their cpu usage into a file, let's say every 1-2-4-5-10-15-30 seconds.

If we take the example of the original poster, after charging the battery to 100%, both counters shows 0 hours in the evening.
The next morning one would expect possibly following values:
Battery charge: 97%
Operation: 0h, 2 min, 42 sec
Standby: 8h, 42 min, 42 sec
But if you see this:
Battery charge: 70%
Operation: 8h, 45 min, 42 sec
Standby: 0h, 0 min, 0 sec
Then the device never was in the standby state.
Would it be possible, in your tool, to add a log function (in csv format) for both battery drain and cpu usage?

This is not possible. Because in standby state, all components of the device are switched without current. Merely the memory (RAM) is supplied still with voltage to data preservation. In addition, the CPU is switched off. Merely a separate, programmable timer and a component for monitoring of the external interfaces are still in company. Therefore, no application can be executed.Hence, such a tool can recognize only after the turning on of the device whether the battery was charged/discharged while in suspend state.

I didn't mean to imply that it was the ROM causing the issue, just that a hard reset of the phone's state to a known 'good' condition would remove the doubt of a software change/corruption causing your problems.
If a hard reset and stock ROM still produce the same battery drain then your hardware maybe faulty. To eliminate a software issue try the fresh ROM for a few days without any 3rd party apps installed.

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...
Hi,
probably someone else have just post this kind of question, but i don't find it , really, sorry
i have just install 2_HD2 Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.8 OS Is the last version, i think...
the problem is that, the battery life is less then 4 hours . how can i do ? it's normal ?
thanks for replay
look my signature
I would like to add: after flashing ROM fully discharge your battery and then recharge it. After that go to registry editor on your phone and go to
Code:
[B]HKLM/system/state/batteryux/MainIntervalIndex[/B]
and change the value from 6 (or any value it shows there) to 20...now press OK! You wil see that the battery level on top has been changed!
Now again edit it and go from 20 to 80 and press OK...
RESTART YOUR PHONE AND THEN CHARGE IT!
This helps me a lot. I used my phone about 37 hrs with calls, little use of BT and WiFi.
and then you don't need to do
- when battery drop to 50% (for example), restart phone... battery status be refreshed and show around 20% more battery level.... sometimes i restart 3-4 times phone before need to charge it....

haha, you are joking right?
where exactly did you look?
how about google 'hd2 windows 7 battery'
there are +3000000 hits and the first page has several links to xda here and also youtube videos to watch
this is a common problem for all these windows 7 roms.
the registry tips posted in below and also try the 'camera trick' which works for me
Planet O
well, the main trick is to discharge to 0 and than re-charge battery. My battery drain today is about 1% per hour. Battery consumption is very individually.
P.S. I installed hardware radio 2.12 and software radio 5.51. This cimbination is much better for me.
Hello,
i don't want to start new thread about my problem, so i pin here.
When i was thinking about to buy HD2 i didn't realize what i am going into, but now i have to continue.
Well everything is fine except damn powerdrain. It is normal to have on high usage 300-500 mA drain? Well i understand this usage when playing for example gta3 on nativeSD android, but seriously...?
Normal work drains my battery on android in 4 hours (NativeSD nexusHD2 - Wifi, exploring web, youtube, facebook etc) with about 150-300mA usage. Well i have to admit that currentwidget cannot show drain properly, but what it shows look really insane.
Also i found on WP7 more outrageous drain. I plugged in charger to HD2 and launched sims3. The battery was at 5%, but gaming made my battery dead. I had to buy external battery charger to apply some power, because battery was too weak to hang in boot time.
My primary questions:
1. Is this high drain normal?
2. Is 80mA charging power normal (using HTC charger)?
3. If i flash android to nand, will power consumpion on high usage be less?
