i want to start this poll discussing about several ROM's and battery's life. i want to say from the beginning that using of 3g, push email and weather is a must.
please share us about your experiences
i used hd2o, ansar and pdaimatejam ROM's, but on all of them i must to charge the battery twice a day. how about the clean ROM - stock ui?
you cant find 2 people with same experience... is many differences... also seems different sdcards have different battery drainage...
for me, with original, 2 year old battery with latest pdaimatejam ROM, radio combination 2.15/5.51 + camera trick, WiFi and 2G nonstop turned on battery duration is around 48 hours, but have mails turned off (manually checking), few calling, bunch of SMS, checking Facebook and news...
i have a question: on 2g it works push email?

with 2G all internet working fine: mail, browsing internet, MMS, but bit slower... not tried or using push mail...
tried to see if any issue with push-email on 2g and not 3g: it works like a charm and it seems that the battery lasts longer
Thread Closed
Everyone is going to have a different opinion since no two people use their phones in exactly the same way, so their answers will not be right for you. Please try the various ROMs until you find one that works for you.

Hi All!
I have a Diamond 2 I bought 2 months ago.
I tried many roms lately but with most i cannot get more than 15-17h Battery
I dont talk much on the phone...i dont really surf from it...i just have my hotmail linked in it.
I recalibrated the battery on last flash still the same. I am using Nhaohoa rom (build 23529), i m using radio 4.49.25.91. I dont use wifi.
Which consumes less power? 3G or HSPDA? or?
Any can suggest a different rom that is very fast and stable and can give better battery time?
Thanks!!!
(sorry for posting it before in the wrong section)

I cannot give you general information for your other questions, but afaik, 3G (HSDPA is only the faster version of standard UMTS bandwith) consumes more power than GSM (GPRS/EDGE), so I have my TD2 set to use GPRS only. 3G i use only, when necessary. My battery keeps a day, too. But I use my device heavily for making calls and internet, so i guess, thats okay when i have to charge my device so often.
Another thing is, what increases the power consumption is a low signals strength and/or how often you lose your connection. Maybe your signal strength is more stable if you use GPRS only. You can verify, if you have an active data connection even if you not use the internet.
I'm not sure, how much the battery life depends on the rom, but I'm comfortable with my current udk rom.

I have a problem. I must have tried 10 different ROM's in the last few days and I am getting extremely frustrated.
I have an HD2 (Telstra Version) that works on the 850MHz band for HSDPA.
Everytime I am on HSDPA, the location services stop working... Weather panel, Bing, Google Maps, nothing can find my location based on cell id... GPS works fine...
When i switch the 3G off... location services work perfectly fine.
I have tried different ROM, Radio combinations, but nothing seems to work...
I have tried NRG ROM, Dutty's HG (preferred) and ML series, but to no avail.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this problem further, or has anyone else encountered this... I would really like some help on this.
Thanks a lot.. beers/coffee on me...

It works!!!
Bless this forum and bless the users on it!!!
Finally i think I have a fix...
Hi guys. This seems to be a nice friendly informative thread. I too WAS having the data disconnect on my phone.
I have the 1.66 sea wwe official rom. I tried every radio from the telstra radio to the new 2.08.50.08_2 radio. To tell you the truth I didnt notice anything different between any of the radios. So I really can't say if one is better than the other. But I started changing settings.
If you are in a 3G (H) 850 area I suggest this.
settings/Wireless controls/phone/band
for Network Type choose WCDMA
for Band Frequency choose the third setting. On Telstra rom it will be GSM(1900)+UMTS(850) and on any other rom it will be GSM(1900+850) and select done.
Now this should stop most of that switching you see in the taskbar of your phone. But this isnt actually what is causing the freezing. It has to do with your sms messaging I believe. I went 2 weeks resetting my phone twice a day. Then I went here.
settings/menu/all settings/connections/advanced network/sms service
Right now GSM is working for me. 4 days and no internet freezing. I believe your incoming email might be coming in by sms also. Notice you only get a few lines and have to download the rest using data to see the whole email.
Others on the forum have turned off email and their phones quit freezing. So if GSM doesnt work for you try GPRS and so on. This is only my opinion but I have been very happy for the last 4 days. Thanks for letting me share this info.
If anyone is interested I have made a cab file which is un-installable that will change the Band Frequency menu to the menu from the Telstra rom. It is mostly cosmetic but at least you will know what bands you are selecting. Use at your own risk of course. I have installed, tested, and uninstalled it myself. No issues.
For the last 4 days with these settings I only see 3G while phone is setting idle. As soon as I connect to the internet it switches to H. I am very happy with my phone now. Thanks matthewf01 for starting this thread. I should have came here sooner.

so as it comes to be, my friend former iphone 3g owner decided to pick up the htc hd2 from tmobile, all went well with it for the first couple days, but now shes constantly complaining about email connectivity issues, and her email will randomly dissapear and not be able to connect and slow lagginess on the phone causes her to throw temper tantrums . also for some reason her music is not showing up correctly... on top of that shes using att on the hd2 unlocked , all the settings have been configured but the rom is still on the stock tmobile rom.. so my question to you guys is what would be her best bet at a rom which is extremely user friendly and doesnt have too many options (so basically something like the tmobile rom without the tmobile bloatware and settings on it) something liek a stock hd2 rom , but i know i cant put that because of the radio issues... if anyone can help id greatly appreciate it because i know the true capabilities of this phone and unfortunatly im flashing a ne rom every day, she wants something she can use daily , stable , fast and super user friendly
Try flashing Kumar's rom its the closest feel to the stock rom that I have found. What type of email is she using? I use active sync with gmail and I found that it works the best because its a push email setup. Also you have to remember that since she is on at&t she will not get the 3g speeds so data is going to be slow.
well the data speed is ok and she uses yahoo, but just randomly her emails will get erased or shell get synchronization errors, even though her internet works.. its truly something that confuses the living hell out of me , and which kumar are we talking about what flavor ?

I run Kumar premium and its the best to my liking. First thing she needs to do is get rid of yahoo mail, its crap. With my clients that have yahoo have nothing but problems, everyone else is fine. Tell her to get gmail works great and is super easy to set up.
try telling a female to change her ways and tell me how that goes hahahha
I have the same setup. I have an unlocked TMOUS HD2 that I'm using on AT&T's carrier network. I didn't like the stock rom as it had tons of useless apps I would never use. So I HPSL'ed it and flashed it with Kumar's Lite 1.9 WWE rom. Try that and see if she likes that. Also let her know that some of the stalling and other issues could be because of the faulty/laggy MicroSD card. If she still experiences issues, have her take out her sd card for a while to see if she still experiences it. If she doesn't then she's got a bad card. Some people do, some people don't. The only problem with the lite rom is it is exactly that...Lite! So if she wants swype she will have to install that seperately. Same for Cookie tabs and other things.
Kumar's ROM is definitely the best that I've used so far. Also, see what radio she's running and possibly try flashing to a different one to see if that makes a difference.
Hey guys,
i have constant battles with my HD2 running Android. The mobile reception and logically because of that APN is also not workin properly.
Example: I'm at home and have full mobile-reception and internet is working flawlessly. One second later nothings workin... The reception display shows 4/4 lines and one second later 0/4. But i didn't move.. Same with WLAN and APN..
I guess it's not a "build problem", cuz i had this with lots of builds. So it's maybe a windows mobile thing. I have flashed 2.12.50 radio and chucky droid rom.
I tried 2.14 but my conversational partners had very strong echos. (with MIUI-Build)
I searched the forum and googled but i didn't find any solution for this..
Really need this to be fixed.
thx bench

I don't know a lot about android. But i had similar "echo" problems when i used a TMOUS based rom. I use miris 1.80 based rom with 2.14 radio in the uk on vodafone with no problems.
Miri Rom Here: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2520
Have you tried a RMNET based android build. The data connection with those is slower but generally more stable. I use ppp but do get the data drop off. but turning the mobile data off and turning back on again sorts the problem.
It would probably better to post such questions in the android general section.

Same problem here. Signal drops quite frequently and for now i like the sense builds which you cant switch to 2G (unless im missing something). With other builds if i switch to 2G its sort of fine but slow data connection.
Same here, I live in holland and use the 2.14 Radio. I don't have a data plan yet (the phone is brand new), so it doesn't really bother me.. yet
we really do need a fix for this
Is nobody havin an idea?
Me 2
I´m having the same problem...anybody know a cure for this?
no problems here ... 2.10.5 radio
Same problem here,tryed different combo's with wm and Android,radio's etc......signal drops now and then.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Always signal drops here.. 35% of the time. Mesured with battery indicator.. only in Android not in winmo and I didnt find the right radio and rom for less drops.
Thats so strange. About every 10mins i have a totally data loss. Tried different radios and roms. Nothing helped. As i tried 2.14 i had strong echo issues.
i uploaded some screenshots. They're all taken at the same place. So you can see how strange these reception changes are...

Boy I'm glad to see this thread, I thought it was just me!
I am having exactly the same issue, and have done since using android builds. The only workaround I have is to switch on plane mode, and then switch it off again which seems to work for an hour or two. But then the signal goes all wonky again.
I wonder if this is also affecting the battery life. I'm sure I read somewhere once that loss of signal results in more battery use as the phone is constantly trying to locate signal.
I have tried a number of radio/rom combinations with no real change. As mentioned above, if I switch to 2G the signal seems more stable, but the data is unbearably slow.
I'm in the UK by the way.

Hope somebody's gonna know how to help us
push push push
me too!
I have the same problem. I might try the 10.2.5 radio as above?
I had this issue with Android that signal drops for no reason. The trick to my problem? Disable in the Netwok Mode "GSM/WCDMA Auto" and choose "GSM Only". Now the signal should work flawlessly without drops. It worked for me
after upgrading my nexus one to gingerbread i tried the native SIP Client but the quality is very bad, sound is chopped all the time, not clear at all
i tried with iptel and inphonex SIP providers
both with same result
any fix for this?
Fix? Nothing is broken.
Your problem sounds like a lack of bandwidth. How much bandwidth does the wifi connection you're connecting to have?
I have been using the sip client on my phone today with no issues other than a slight lag. Everything is crystal clear.
SIPdroid is working fine on the same telephone and same network
What codec is sipdroid using?
What codecs are supported by your sip providers?
These are the codecs supported by inphonex SIP Provider, i got these from their website
G.711
G.729
G.726
G.723
GSM
i dont know about sipdroid software
I got the same problem. SIPDroid working perfectly
Google SIP : when I talk, it's clear on the other side but what I hear is chopped, I don't know what's wrong
I'm on oxygen 2.0 with HTC desire
Hi, could anyone of you tell me how to config sipdroid? or where can I find an manual?
thanks,
I mean how to config it using google voice.

This thread has lots of detailed instructions for getting a SIP solution to work with Google Voice on either SipDroid or cSIPSimple (even the native Gingerbread SIP stuff as well).
thanks codesplice. checking that thread now.

Hard to answer that, as I have Airplane Mode enabled for most of the day. I generally do about 30-minutes of wifi data stuff before work, then put on airplane mode for the 10-12 hours work day (usually with music playing for about 8 hours of that), and do another 2-3 hours of pretty heavy data usage after work (again, over wifi). After this, I usually have about 20-30% remaining.
I should be back in the States sometime next week and can PM you with my battery usage as experienced with cell data enabled again.

even though, to me, that's heavy usage. your battery's performance seems pretty good. r u using the stock battery?

Stock battery, WM's undervolt kernel limited to 1075Mhz, SetCPU profiles (screen off = max @ 576MHz), CM tweaked autobrightness thresholds, and I set the display to the minimum brightness for most of the time that I'm connected to wifi (kinda dark in that tent).
