Hello,
I have been following these forums for a couple months now, and wow I am impressed. I love this community. I feel like I haven't contributed yet, so I started this thread. Below are my phone specs and my battery success. If this helps you, great! If you can contribute to this thread with your success, please do. If a similar thread is around, let me know; I don't want to take up extra space if I don't need to. My primary goal is for people to share their specs, usage, and battery life with Android. I had my brightness on high and 3g, GPS, and sync on (things you would normally want on all day). Peace!
Specs:
Leo - T-Mobile version
SD - 16GB class 4 (not sure brand, doesn't say)
Radio - 2.12.50.02_2
ROM - 28/7/10 Elegancia V 1.0 Final, Max Sense (T-Mobile version, if there is a difference?)
Android- 03/08/10 shubCRAFT CM6RC2/Froyo/Themed V1.1
Kernel - Cotulla 2.6.32.9#103
Info:
Unplugged at 07:30 am with 100%
Immediately checked email/XDA app for any updates (yep, I'm lame)
Standby for about an hour
Music/web browsing on Train to work (30 min)
Standby for 3 hours
Video playback during break (20 min)
Standby for 5 hours
Music/web browsing on Train home (30 min)
Home for about 3 hours with mix of standby/web browsing
9:10 pm - 15% warning (close to 15 hrs)
I stopped at 15%, because that is my "safety zone" for normal usage.
Anyone else care to share similar stories?
Before sleep yesterday, i have 97% battery, but when i wake up today, the battery left 47% :S 6hours drain 50% battery life only in stanby!!
when i checked background for what was running, Nothing..... maybe the android's screen is off, just it's not really sleep..
Hey guys, it's totaly normal, the actual HD2-Android roms are RC's, these problems will get fixed, just be patient.
My battery expirience:
8:30 - took from charging at 97% and went to work
normal use @ work (sms, googletalk, twitter and facebook)
15:00 - 15% warning
its about half the time from my windows rom, i think at current state of development it ist totaly OK.
And if you use SetCPU you can get a 1% discharge per hour in standby mode, if set up correctly
And what Waldemotor said, it's still in development.
Powermanagment isn't fully functioning, yet.
patience young grasshopper
5:40pm 100% when leaving work, started listening to music
5:55pm Standby for train ride
6:45pm Listening to music
7pm: Stopped listening to music
7-10pm: bit of xda app, checking my ps3 friends to decide whether to play MW2, showed the kids a couple of games
10pm-7am: Standby
7:40am-7:55 - Music before train
7:55-8:45 - Standby
8:45-9am Music
And here I am 09:35 and I have 30% battery left.

I'm with Darkstone Froyo 1.1 and i sync:
Gmail (push)
Exchange Mail, Calendar Contacts) every hour
Facebook every 2h
Twitter every 2h
I use SetCpu set to 245/245 profile screen off and 998/245 standard profile
I also Use
Juice Defender (paid version from market) :
With this i can plan usage of WIFI/3G :
- U can choose from push up to 5mn every 2h, i don't plan
- U can disable during night my night is from 22h to 7h
- disable if battery under 15%
- enable when i use choosed application in a list form exmple email, browser ... (keep disable elsewhere)
- U can choose automatically enable when screen is ON i don't : i prefer enable with application
Note: it's possible to control CPU too but i don't .. i think setcpu is better
- Wifi may be auto disabled when there's no access point near u
Estrong Task manager
- With this i kill all application except a choosen list when screen is off
GPS is always Disabled
With theses applications and settings i can get:
0% lost during night
and during day, my battery life depends on how much i use applications with 3G or Wifi and ... over all how much i phone
Note :
I've same conf on my Htc Hero ... (Android 2.1 hect sense) my battery life is almost 3 days
With HD2 desire V5 results are not so good
So i recommend :
Darkstone Froyo 1.1 (waiting for next build)
Wirh SetCPU, Juicedefender (paid version on market), and Estrong task manager
JuiceDefender has a free version but wiyh less options but u can try it
U can control battery JuicePlotter : it draws a graph for ur battery consumption and temperature telling u if wifi or APN were enabled.
Hope my contribution will be useful for some people

Went to work with a full 100% battery, did a bit of webbrowsing and texting. It was down to 30% within about three hours.
But I'm not fussed. As it's been said, it's still in its infancy. I've done nothing to try and amend it (SetCPU etc). I just have everything running on default settings.
When things drop so far though, I just switch back to Windows if I'm not near a charger.
My 2 cents on the matter
I own an HD2 since last Friday, I think. I found out that it can run Android and I wanted to test it. I spent an entire day with the Android. I started with a full battery, but I browsed the market, installed a lot of applications, listened to some music, even played a few avi files. The battery is drained faster than on WinMobile, but just like it was pointed out here, Android is still in development. The main idea is that I used it a lot and the battery was almost drained in 9 hours (I also stop around 15% too). I used Darkstone Froyo 2.1 build (Dan1j3ls Froyo V1).
- zImage 3/8, Dan1j3ls Froyo V1 (without Sense)
- setCPU enabled (always ondemand between 245 - 998)
- Yesterday 7 am - unplugged with 100 %
- Sync enabled with 3G over the day, some web browsing and playing around all day, measuring
- *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone info -> Menu -> set frequency band to Euro band, afterwards the constant 2G/3G flapping disappeared, switch to 2G only happens, when no more 3G available
- 11:30 pm went to bed, disabled Data overnight -> 50% left.
- Woke up this morning 8 am with several alarms ringing -> still 41% battery left.
With little usage good two days possible!

I left mine at 98% before going to bed and 8 hours later (yes, I slept that long) there was 78% left...
I'm on MattC's build, German Vodafone Stock Rom (1.72...) and 2.10.._2 Radio.
SetCPU activ and Exchange checking for mails every hour...
However, I'm not sure if 20% or 2,5% per hour is good or bad
u can globally underclock ur cpu for better effect, I run mine at 80% clock (main profile)
Im now on my 3rd day of using mattc v1.4.
1st day battery life was SHOCKING (as to be 'expected' (can you expect a shock???) for a RC running off an SD card).
I probably got about 4 hours heavy use from 100% to 10%.
2nd day I set up SetCPU with profiles for 'screen off' and <25% battery, disabled all data except wifi, disabled gps (tried juice defender but didnt find it useful as I never really use mobile data anyways). LEFT SCREEN AT 100% BRIGHTNESS!
This ^^^ helped with battery drain a lot and stopped the huge drain i was getting while the phone/screen was asleep.
BUT on day 2 I got a WEIRD problem:
Tried to set a pattern for unlocking - Put phone to sleep and rewoke to test lock.
The screen came on almost all white with my home screen barely visible underneath the white 'vail'.
I shutdown android and booted into WM6.5.x.
THE WEIRD THING IS THAT BEFORE THE 'CRASH' MY BATTERY SHOWED 49% BUT AFTER A REBOOT IT SHOWED 14%!
Multiple restarts into winmo and android still showed 14%/13%! WTF? I had to start charging again from there.
Now the HD2 wont charge past 91% (in android), untested in WM. I unplugged the USB and replugged numerous times - still wouldnt charge past 91%.
Left on charge overnight (android) and still at 91 this morning.
Been using it quite heavily ~3 hrs on and ~1 in standby today with lots of wifi and batt has gone from 91 to 76%.
ONLY LOSING 0.5 PER HOUR in standby now.
So basically, my battery is going nuts lol.
But so far I'm more than happy with it (considering it running from sd etc etc).
To all devs working on android builds - THANK YOU and keep up the good work.
Anyone else had any battery anomolies like mine?
I also experienced wrong loading behaviour, or maybe it's just the percentage showing wrong.
The following helped for me: Reboot into Windows Mobile, there the battery loading status was display correctly as 100% (also with the status LED glowing green constantly). Then with loading cable still plugged in, boot Android, then in Android the percentage reading was correct again.
really offtopic but anyone care to share how do you choose what to run in the background and what not? I use the task killer app but I kill the apps and they just reapear without me starting them.
thanks for sharing brothers!
can anyone comment on the battery life/consumption with this latest kernal and 384+ RAM ?
im using zimage 08/03 right now with Darkstone froyo v1 and my battery life is pretttty bad...
it will go from "93%" (full, it wont charge over), to about 25% in 4.5 hours..
and this is making NO phone calls and on standby. I have setCPU with the settings from the other thread too
just trying to figure out a good solution
I'm using the CM6 froyo.
Without setcpu and without the Aug 3 zimage, my battery drain was about 12% an hour on standby.
Now, with the Aug3 zimage and setcpu, I have about 6% battery drain per hour on standby.
Win mo: stock Tmo-US ROM. 2.08 radio. (both stock). 16GB class 2 MicroSD.
I always make sure I charge when phone is either off, or in winmo. I never charge the battery on android. I don't yet trust the android kernel enough to charge my battery correctly.
5%/h in standby problem

Yes.
Not matter what I do, and whatever distribution I'm using there is huge battery drain in stanby mode (~5%/h). I changed ROM, radio, android version (mattc, darkstone, ...). Even used winmo registry tricks.
HD2 (eu), ROM Energy, checked mattc v1.5, shubCRAFT 1.3, NexusLeo v1, ...
But there was a time I had very good results - like 1%/h in standby. Do not know what changed (except changing Android ditribution very often). The other users (a lots of them) has 1-1,5%/h in standby mode, so I'm sure it is possible. There is some kind of setting/mistake or something to discover. For now Android (even running form SD) is capable to have as good "battery results" as winmo.
I will try
- charging in winmo only
- sd format or using another microsd card
- clean Android (without data and additional software)

same case for me as little usage (sync email few times a day manually, play few songs for kids, little browsing and market). 2 days with batteryminder. ~ 50% since last charged 1 day ago.
The one that making real different for me is when I used GSM auto (PRL) (in *#*#4636#*#*).
Also auto turn to airplane mode 11:30pm-7:00am for me.
I also applied the sdcard registry changes in winmo. seems this will take some effect also.

The solution was to
1. I did battery calibration (not sure this task was really necessery) and checked winmo battery drain - to make sure battery is not broken by Android. No, it didn't
2. Charge battery to fulll on WinMo (or turned phone off), boot Android then remove /data/system/batterystats.bin .
Use this commands from Android Terminal (free).
su
rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Restart Android (in that moment I had expected 1%/h drain) and use battery till it come empty
Thats all.
Propably, after many android switches (new distribution tests) the battery stats was broken - collected partially in different Android version.
Then finally, after 1 week with 5%/h battery drain problem in standby I have 1%/h in standby again. I think it is standard drain in haret.exe version.
For some reason no matter what build, radio or rom I use BatteryMinder tells me that I will get better life with wifi on vs wifi being off. (check jpegs in attachment)
If i turn mobile data off too I get better battery life as well.
Why is the Mobile network killing my battery?
I would guess this has something to do with 3G that gets disabled on WIFI start
Yea I figured that how do I fix it though?
I stop using batteryminder because the time fluctuation was killing me! one minute it would show 1 day of battery left after unplugin, and 5 minutes later would show 15 hrs left, but only 2% had dropped in the battery, I guess it reads everything that's running, and takes it into consideration to tell you what time you have left. I get like 3 to 5mA at idle so I don't need it anymore to tell me how much battery I have left, I get a full day of battery.

This is a known fact, the wifi radio uses alot less power transmitting data than the 3G radio. I have about 20 Wifi access points stored in my phone so that it connects to them automatically like Home, work, church, parents house, friends house, that way the only time I'm actually using cell data is when I'm in the car. Saves the battery a ton.
If you want to use 3G all the time, but save battery, turn off always on data in the settings and set it to sync on an interval instead.

Odd, when I enable WiFi and set it to never sleep (so it keeps WiFi on when screen off instead of reverting to data), I idle at 10 times higher mA than with WiFi off. When actively using the connection (browsing, etc) it does seem less energy consuming than data, though.

Same here. Idle goes up to 70mA with no sleep.
I set it to "never when plugged in" and it seems to work fine.

This is all excellent advice. Cheers roloracer! I use similar settings and software for the most part with Core Droid HD v.02 by Sergio76 right now, and the standby drain with WiFi and GPS on, auto background data sync off, sits much of the time at 7 mAh. This is without using SetCPU. Moreover, with WiFi and GPS off, the standby drain drops down to about 5 mAh on average. This is about the same as I get using EVO Black & Blue Remix v.03A with everything off as well. That said, both of the above mentioned builds are incredible, IMHO, and both include the hastarin r8.5.1 Kernel.
Best to all,
R
If you are in an area with spotty coverage, and constantly switch between 2g, 3g, H, etc... then it supposedly runs your batt down a lot more than in steady coverage.

How much mAh do you have when you use your phone and how much
When It's in standby??
I got 3-6 mAh in Standby and 110-400 when using the phone (500mah when using the camera)
With this info my phone only last around 10-13 hrs

10 to 13 hours of heavy usage is not bad, light use is a different story, even on windows mobile with heavy usage you can see about the same 10 to 13 hrs of battery, My phone averages about the same as you, at idle with the screen off is about 3 to 7mA , with the screen on but nothing extra running about 120mA, and with stuff in the background about 250mA, or with the camera is about 400 to 500mA. The key is to always check advanced task killer, kill all before turning off the screen, I use my phone lightly to medium during my work hours, I text a few times, facebook a few times, some phone calls, but during all this time I keep my background sync data off, I only turn it on if I have to go into the market, and I turn it back off after I finish in the market, then when I get off work, like 13 hrs after I unplugged from charger, I usually still have about 50% to 60% battery, I flip on the background data and go full blast on it, til the end of the day.
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)
Thx,

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

Thank you.
(Mango)
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 ...
extended battery 2300mAh
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 ...
I tried to use Pdaimatejam Rom, but I had problem with restarting and phone temperature ...

I have disabled everything for maximum battery life.
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.

I tried to search but the results were not conclusive, so decided to start separate thread.
I installed NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.9a on an SD card to try it first, and I am running it from Windows Mobile through haret. Performance is good, everything seems to work fine, besides the battery life. It drains the battery in about 10% an hour. On Windows, it can last several days with the same type of usage, so it is not the battery.
Better battery stats does not show anything useful - it reports that the main consumption comes from the OS itself.
Nothing seems to alter that behavior significantly - I wiped and installed the ROM again, so that there are no applications of my own running. I turned off wifi, mobile data, and changed connection to 2G. That causes only minor variations in the battery drain. Played with the cpu governors - same thing, just minor improvements.
My device is T-Mobile HD2 with class 4 SD card. I used PPP when installing the build as the other setting did not work for me.
Has anybody experienced the same behavior? Do you think I will be better off if I put the ROM on NAND?

Try using NAND it does reduce battery usage by some percentage. But don't expect a big change in battery drain , it is common issue that we all are facing.
Battery should last about a day on normal usage. 10% per hour is a lot. Is your screen turned on? Screen takes most energy of all. Turn intensity down and let it turn to sleep in 30 secs or 1 minute.
Also, frequent battery checking drains battery too, so leave the phone alone
Don't use tools as juice defender, my opinion is they take more juice than they spare.

and let the rom settle down for a day or so
becuase you cant really tell what the battery drain is after
a fresh rom install
Ok, if the range is around one day, then I do not think there is anything specific with my installation. It can be weaker battery or too much screen time. It was just too different than on win.
Thanks all

Battery drain will always be an issue as the battery really is too small for the phone. Have you tried setcpu or similar these cpu management programs seem to work to a degree in increasing battery life.
