I just order touch hd , and waiting for it. but I wonder how about battery drain on touch hd.
I got diamond one and it terrible on standard battery.
better than diamond thats for sure ما شاء الله
with extensive outdoor usage (gps running, wlan enabled but home wlan unreachable) my Blackstone is drained in less then 4 hours.

I'm almost have to recharge my Touch every single day! And in mine opinion I don't use it very extremely. Didn't have that issue with my TyTn!

With my TyTN II (Kaiser) I have the same bad experience, drained in less then 1/2 day. Same with some other devices. But I think this is typical for this device class. With some directives the battery power can be saved:
- disable WLAN when going outwards
- reduce display brightness
- disable/shutdown GPS apps if not used
- buy a car kit ;-)
In my opinion WLAN and the display are the most power consuming parts.

thanks for the advice, normally i have recharge pda-phone every single day with normal usesage. hope to not worry about battery like a normal cellphone ;/
Don't have any problems with drain, even after steady use I still had 3 bars left :O

You are welcome. I am still playing with my new Blackstone, but I think with "normal" usage the operating distance will be 2..3 days.

Had a problem trying to charge it in my car for the first time. On a 3 hour journey with about 1/4 battery level left and running pocket player and TomTom when I got home still only 1/4 (or maybe even less) battery power left. I charge it through the USB port in the car stereo. Never had that problem with Polaris under same conditions. Seems ok at home running the same programmes and charging through the mains.
Any one else having trouble charging in a car?
I hope it stands more than one day only. Xperia has better values, my friend told me, it lasts two days more...
friend of mine just got a Xperia. will catechize him...
with heavy usage but turning off WiFi outdoors battery life has been pretty good lasts a day and a half.
In 3G mode, only with two full charges and a bit of heavy usage, cause I only have my HD from last friday, it's been lasting for about 1,5 day. I'm going to test it about one more week and then I'm going to test it in normal GSM mode.
With heavy usage lasting about a day.
2 hours movie
1 hr mp3
30 min calls
10+ text messages
1 hour internet through wifi
12 hrs standby
5 minutes google maps
Maybe 1 hr playing with my new toy (screen lit)
Probably about 2-3 days when my usage goes back to "normal".
I've charged my HD @ 15 o'clock and now is on 72% of battery
opps sorry wrong section, ment to be in the dream not blackstone how do you delete posts?
I have usually a heavy use on it (i.e. too much talking over BT headphone, regular wifi email exchange, rss update etc.).
I used to see it drain easily until I used the advance configuration to fix sd management, connection management etc. For some reason everything was off on mine.
Now with (fairly) regular use it can go one and half day almost.

True, no need for WLAN to be on when on the move. It's the most power consuming antenna in your phone. You can set it to disable if it can't find an access point for 1 minute. Bluetooth is also a killer... These phones are stuffed with radio's, don't turn them on all at once.
Oh, and my phone easily lasts a day, and I tinker with it all the friggin time, and use it quite a bit. But I only activate stuff when I need it, such as wifi, bluetooth, direct push. I rarely use GPS, yes of course this drains your battery in 4 hours, just like when you would place a call or watch a video or browse the web for 4 hours. Anything that uses a lot of radio activity or a lot of screen on-time will drain your battery fast.
I optimized power saving modes with schaps advanced config and turn the thing off at night.
Push email on winmo or apple phones is a joke. The way it requires to keep a GPRS connection alive is ridiculous. Blackberry understands this a lot better.
If you don't use it, you might as well turn GRPS auto attach off using schaps advanced config tool since that too will save a lot of battery time.
Recharged 20 hours ago. Normal use. GPRS Data Connection on, e-mail push each hour (i have flatrate) and i have 85% of battery left.
Hi guys,
If I remember correctly, in the previous WM versions there were options to change the speed of the CPU and that way to save the power and reduce battery consumption?
I am preparing for long, few days GPS assisted hikings and would like to minize the power comsuption of my HTC HD2.
Maybe there good apps for that too?
Thanks.
It already does that automatically.
Consumption of a GPS app like GPS Tuner with screen off is already very low, giving about 8hrs battery life (if you don't do anything else, of course).
Hey everybody,
I am using my HD2 for a while now (7 Months) and monitor my battery current with BattClock. One Question i asked myself after trying several musicplayers (CorePlayer, WMP, MortPlayer, S2P, Nitrogen etc.) and of course ROMs is, why the consumption is so high and if there is a way to optimize.
The HD2 constantly consumes about 90mAH (WMP) to 115mAH (SensePlayer) while Playing music (screen turned off) and i dont understand for what all the energy is needed, because this leads to a maximum usage of about 10 hours (or significantly less if you switch songs sometimes and have to turn the display on).
Compared to other phones like p.ex. my old Touch HD (about 15-20 hours with a slightly bigger battery) this not thaaaat much in my opinion. Even my old Samsung YP-Z5 MP3-Player (800mAH battery) lasted easily for about 25-30 hours. I am aware of the fact, that this is a dedicated MP3 Player and is optimized for listening to music in a powereffective way, but this significant difference is a mystery to me
I guess some of you might cite, that the phone funcion etc. has to be added to the drain produced by the player but my standby consumption is at about 4mAH so this cant be the crucial point. Same counts for the processor load which should be very very low while encoding MP3s...
So my question is, if anybody has got an effective tip or trick for lowering the battery drainage while listening to music. I have to say, that i dont necessarily want to switch to another player than Sense as i like the interface and the great integration to Co0kies Hometab.
Thanks for your answers and experiences. The ideal case would of course be if anybody else has got some additional data from a batterymonitoring application to share here.

Nobody else wondering...?
i'm playing with different rom
at the moment i have discarded all the rom that give me problem (even if some of theme was very goood!!)
now i have installed on SD -=MDJ FroYo HD v.4.6=- with different kernel.
very good...responsive..everything works (except automatic brigtness features)
my question is?
how can i understand if the power consumption is too much?
of course i will keep installed for few days and see if is compatible with my usage but i would like to know some "avarage" values in order to understand immediatly where i am.
Install CurrentWidget.
Set it to log the MA once every 10 minutes.
Normal usage varies anymore from 100 to 350ma, depending on what you're doing. I believe it might be higher if you're using the camera.
Standby should be as low as 1 ma to 5ma with wifi and bluetooth turned off.
arghh in stand by it almost impossible to have less then 5mA...im using Battery Monitor app and it's normally 5mA stable with very minor increase.
i will see on the real use if it's work or not.
About a month ago, I was running RoyalGinger 3.0 with bluetooth, GPS, and background data disabled, and I was only using my home wifi to get online. My phone would pretty much hold a 100% charge for 5-8 hours if I left the screen off. I was pretty amazed at my battery life. Then I decided I wanted to try a different rom, so I backed up in CWM and did that. When I returned to RoyalGinger, my phone wasn't holding the 100% charge for as long anymore and hasn't done it since then (yes, I did re-calibrate the battery, like twice at least).
Recently though, my phone has been having horrible battery life under the same conditions. The only difference is that now I use LauncherPro instead of the stock launcher. I'll charge to 100% + 15 minutes or so, and with the screen off, the phone divebombs to about 95% within an hour and a half. If I actually use the phone, it will lose 30% in 2 hours. I have no idea what the problem could be since I don't have any data-syncing apps in the background and I'm really just texting people.
Any ideas?
The consumption doesn't sound like anything out of normal. A difference in signal quality (radio or WiFi) or using radio for data instead of WiFi can cause that.
In any case, just check the apps that use your battery, and see that you don't have any process getting CPU stuck on 100% (you can see CPU load in System Panel Lite, for example).
Download the apps below.....this will help you out.....
Use the app SetCPU for Root Users
It allows control of certain aspects of the Linux cpu freq driver, allowing for overclocking, underclocking, or tweaking speeds and settings. Download it here.
Use the app Battery Booster
Battery Booster is a powerful battery boosting tool and power management application specially designed for Android devices. Download it here.
Always remember to remove the charger immediately when the battery level reach 100% for longer battery life.
