Unfortunately you will not get great battery life as the HD2 is a power hungry phone with a battery that is too small for the phone. You will find most roms are similar despite what people might claim. Try setcpu or similar to improve battery life. Try currentwidget to monitor how much power the phone uses especially with the screen off in standby - you should be looking at 5ma or below. If you get more than a day with moderate usage you will be lucky.
OK, I will try currentwidget.
Thank you!
Currentwidget is recommended in this situation

So I notice that an hour on wifi surfing the web took about 20% or more of thE battery...even playing game doesn't do that to the battery. Anyone experiencing similar thing? Anyone with 3g, is data looking the battery too?
Just keeping wifi turned on is also drains the battery for me.
Check your screen luminosity.it is the biggest battery killer
I'm running the Moto234_eVo_Carbon_V0.3 build and I've noticed that even with the screen off and the phone idle my battery drains at a pretty good rate when compared to WinMo. Any fixes for this?
for me 3g/h draw much power than wifi, almost 1.5x-2x of the wifi surfing..
Screen brightness is easily the biggest batter drain keep brightness as low as possible,
Data connection will hog more than WiFi if you are in an area of weak signal and your device is constantly searching for a signal, when your at home or work using WiFi just turn data off and switch to only 2g networks, set setcpu to screen off 245 245

Screen brightness definitely hits it hard, then wifi and bluetooth, keep em off whenever you are not using them and of course apps running in the background, grab a task killer, if its not needed, it shouldnt be running or else it will use power.

Get "current widget" from the market to see how much powers are being used. While screen off, my phone only drain about 4~7 mA...
I just came across this. Super detailed analysis of battery usage.

3g draws much more power than wifi. If wifi is available use it over 3g. But like others have said, the screen is by far the biggest battery hog.

I don't see how the screen is the biggest energy hog. When I leave my phone uncharged untouched over night and it it displays 7mah on current widget, I lose 40% battery in 7 hours.

That's unusual...i lose less than 10% over night...even with bad reception in my room, that didn't kill my battery. Maybe you can try this to test it out. Fully charge before you go to sleep. The next morning, check your battery in setting to see what is using the majority of the battery drain during that period...this might help you find the reason...
If noting else is running, Cell standby will eat the majority of the battery power.
For me, its Angry Birds...it the biggest battey killer

If you are talking about playing Angry Bird 24/7, then I understand you...but if you are serious, I haven't seen heavy battery drain while playing Angry Bird...but whose got time to check the battery stats while smashing them pigss...

You need to reinstall new build and do a task29 and format your SD your battery stats are all over at 7mA you should see 1% per hour

Yes thats true, exactly the same in my HD2: 3-7mA = 1% an hour or less
Wow, I installed Mdeejay_eVo_Sense_v_2.3Revolution to see if this build helped on battery life. I charged my phone over night and had a full battery at 11AM (according to the meter) but by 7:30PM, my phone was completely dead. During this time, I had two 5 minute phone conversations and used GPS for 9 minutes. Other than that, the screen was not active and I didn't have WiFi enabled. Is this typical? Doesn't make running Android very practical on the HD2. This is only the second build I've tried but it's not looking very promising.

Something is wrong with your build. Try his newer build. They got a new kernel. If that were my habits, my battery would drop by only about 25%. You should install "current widget" from the market. It help you keep track of battery usage. On standby, most people and I got about 3~7mA. If you get a higher mA, that mean something is eating your battery.
Please give Mdj's New Build "Froyo Sense Revolution 1.6" that comes with his new kernel which is suppose to make battery last longer. Hope this helps.

i hope this enlightens you and yes wifi kills battery but it is not the biggest battery killer and wifi is more harmful to your battery life if it is not connected which means it is constantly searching for a network which sucks the life out of your battery.
I think the wifi modules on the new kernels (Hastarin > 8 & MDJ) are consuming too much power.
I usually got 5 ~ 8 mA in sleeping mode with my wifi turning on on the previous kernels, but now I got 8~60 mA and the battery status is showing that wifi is taking about 30% of the battery. Maybe this is because the 802.1n is enabled by default!
Hi,
can anyone explain me please why Android is so much power consuming on HD2 comparing to other Android phones or even WM 6.5 on same phone?
I have DL_Desire Installed an I can hardly use my phone for 15hours with normal use.
Why WM 6.5 last for at least 20 hours?!?!
The only thing that is different (about configuration) comparing to WM is the live wallpaper.
A task manager is also installed in order to kill unnecessary apps.
Thanks in advance
Well, if you're running Android from your storage card, then just reading the card all the time is extra work being performed by the phone as compared to reading from NAND, plus the HD2 isn't made to run Android, I mean it's ported, not native, so not everything is perfect. Plus live wallpaper means a little more battery uesed, and task managers use as much battery as they save, so you're not really getting much improvement (if any) in battery life by having a task killer running.
Plus another big battery killer the HD2 has that alot of native Android phones don't have is the huge screen. It eats alot of battery.
But the overall answer: Android is a bit of a battery hog. Thats just the way it is and the price we pay for the best OS choice. My advice is abandon WinMo, boot Android from NAND, find a good combination of ROM, kernel, radio, setcpu settings, and autokiller memory settings that gives you your best balance of performance and battery life. You should get a full day out of that easy and have some battery left over when you plug your phone in at night to charge.
android is more interesting than wm6.5...which will make you use your phone more frequantly...so...it will surely have a shorter battery life
For me, it's 1% or less drain on standby. 2-5mA
It will last for more than 20 hrs on normal use

That's about what I get booting from NAND. 3-7mA stanby booting from sd, but my sd build drains faster when I'm using it than NAND does, but in sleep mode, not much difference between the two.

my standby 2-5mA
my uptime is now 1d23h and there is still 40% battery.
This is with lite use
I think the battery life is great
I think it's 1% for everyone with any build... it's just the time to loose the % which varies
Ok, I go out... once again a useful post...
From what I can gather,sd roms have better battery life? I unplug my device, 100% charged, then play music through the speaker with the screen off, for 40 minutes, and the battery is 50%.
I just bought an extended battery, 2600, and hope it helps.
Maybe setcpu will help?

Only 40 min? And your battery goes to half? I suggest using a NAND build.
Try using currentwidget on the android market and log your battery consumption values. I get around 100+/- mA with screen off(playing music).
I usually can get quite better battery life with NAND...
I always thought nand builds had better battery life?
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
Yes. NAND builds have better battery life.
I also recommend installing Juice Defender Ultimate for better battery life. I get one day of quite heavy usage thanks to it (and I have a fetish for screen brightness set for maximum all the time).
P.S.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148578 . Great topic with many useful tips.
Which NAND Build has the longest battery life in your experience?
A friend of mine told me DorimanX has an up to 5 days life in standby. Is that true?

only if the phone isnt used at all
most roms with moderate use will last 24 hours or under

That's true
Android is less efficient that wm, though smoother (web browser)
I checked app call Battery Dr. It says that my phone has idle time of 311 Hrs at 89% battery. That's amost 13 days.... lol
Ive learned to use battery saver app which I think you can find many threads in here. It prolong my usage to more than 12 hrs which i'm very glad.
I'm using NDT MIUI.

The experience of each ROM varies with each user. There is no ROM which has a definitive best battery life. All ROMs now tend to have pretty good battery lives. In airplane mode, the battery drain is about 1%/2hrs (no use) and with phone on its slightly under 1%/hour. Most things turned on now don't affect battery drain too much (eg. with wifi and bluetooth my battery drain is 5-7mA, it's normally 4).
Agree. I've tried out many roms, and they all have very similar battery life. MOst will last about a day with moderate use.
Sense roms have very slightly higher battery drain, but sill last about a day. (And they are much prettier...!)
The old Hyperdroid ROM have great battery life
I can easily get over 30 hours moderate use with tytung's nexus hd2 ROM (clk)

Hi, in general I experience very good battery life when phone is in stand by mode but once it's active it' basically eats up battery very quick. Any ideas on what to do?
Running stock ROM.

Switching the device off for a while and rebooting helps my battery recover its great life.
Over 50hrs 4 hrs SOT 1 hour calls. 4G and no wifi.
