Hey guys,
I just got my HTC Desire HD a few days ago. Been using the phone without modding or anything (I have no clue about them, just found out that we could do this yesterday) and found that my phone is pretty laggy occasionally and the battery life... is horrible!
The battery life has been fluctuating every day. Today, the phone lasted me for 5 hours only. Did not use the camera or watch videos. I checked the Battery Use window and I found that my Android OS used about 46% and my Display used 34%.
The software number is 1.32.178.5 with Froyo (2.2). I'm wondering if any mod could provide me with better performance and battery life as my OS currently is a battery guzzler.
I'm new to HTC and I've been reading up on flashing, modding etc. Not understanding too much though. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
The first thing you need to do is root your DHD. Without that, there is nothing much you can do.
Hey thanks for replying.
Yeah, I got that part. I wanted to know if replacing the mod will improve the performance and reduce the load on my battery.
Wondering if anyone has experience this change by replacing the mod rather than just having cosmetic and utility difference.

I am using ARHD on my DHD (as you can see from my signature) and i have huge improvement of overall performance and battery. It is just awesome using DHD with this ROM loaded on.
Most people root their device for better performance/stability and freedom than to color and give their DHD a cosmetic look!
PS! Read my signature....esp the last line

I have the same software version (AU Vodafone). I found it took a few charge/discharge cycles for the phone to get better acquainted with its battery. The first few days I was concerned about battery discharge time, however now I'm not. I even purchased a second charger for work, however I rarely seem to use it.
I've rooted my DHD using Visionary r14 however I'm still running the original ROM. I recommend that you try the following before changing your phones software:
Install SetCPU from the Market (requires root). This will underclock your phone (saving power) when not in use.
Settings -> Display -> Brightness -> Tick Automatic Brightness.
Disable GPS/Bluetooth if you don't use it, or enable it only when you need it.
Leave wifi/wireless off. You've got 2GB of 3G/HSDPA data allowance (slower than wifi but seems to use less power). I don't even use 25% of my data allowance.
Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Tick USB Debugging. This will reduce the lag (and stop Android OS using 46% of your battery).
I listen to music for close to 90 minutes per day, and sync two email accounts, RSS, Twitter, weather, etc. My battery will last at least a day and a half - by then it's at about 20% charge.
After being unplugged for 16.5 hours, my battery usage is as follows:
Cell standby 34%
Display 30%
Phone idle 28%
Android System 3%
Mediaserver 3%
Android OS 2%
And I've had the screen on for more than usual today.

I just tried this last night, had a really busy week. And WOW! I usually do not charge my phone overnight as I've heard that overcharging causes the battery to eventually become weak. I lose about 20-22% overnight where my Android OS takes up most of my battery. After I rooted and installed SetCPU, I lost only 8% over 6 hours, where the OS used only 5% and phone idle used 24%. A HUGE change, cheers for that Mike.

I'll try that ROM in sometime, look at how my phone is gonna perform after SetCPU. I've heard that using a different ROM will screw up my warranty so I'll hold on to the current ROM for a while. Thanks again.
Help needed with ozzy Radio Roms - Like which one??
Can anyone help me I really want to use CoreDroid
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858418
After rooting, Eng-off, S-off, unlocking the sim and using Clockworkmod to install CoreDroid. It booted fine and all looked good very impressed.
Except I now had no signal at all (bluetooth and WIFI are OK).
Tried multiple Radio roms found on XDA website all without any result.
After changing the ROM using the adb to push radio.img, restarting in fastboot
and finally flashing the rom. I would rebuild CordDriod from fresh each time just to be sure.
Can any body let me know if there is a more up to date ROM that is working with the VodaFone Australia Desire HD.
Many thanks in advance for any effort required.
Im going to try again, maybe i missed something.
I have tried to use CyanogenMod 10.2 and I was dissatisfied with the battery life time. I experienced huge battery drain related to even though the phone was in idle state. I decided to switch to Revolution HD hoping for better battery, however it still performs very bad and seems I have exactly the same problem.
Experimenting, I have found that if i disable WI-FI the drain in idle state disappears. I have not problems with drain using mobile data. So, the problem is in WIFI.
Can the reason be my radio verion?
Which version should I have in Europe?
Baseband version displayed in GetRIL is 5.1204.104.16
It says "Unknown RIL found" and recommended version is marked as "Unknown"
Which RIL should I install?
Additional info (if that helps):
- The phone was shipped from Hong Kong.
- I did not have this problem with the stock Sense 4.0.4 ROM that came with it.
Hello guys, first of all sorry if someone has answered the question before but i really looked around and I could not find anything.
I am running on Maximus HD 6.0.1 with the latest firmware and I am S-Off with the kernel bundled with the ROM. Yesterday, I charged my phone to 100% I watched some Utube and used the FB app for a bit and went straight to bed with 91% left. I tuned on the DND mode and left both data and wi-fi on. When I woke up the battery was @ 79-80% which is way worse than Maximus 5. I have also noticed that the battery is getting worse in general. I am using Gsam w/ the root companion and the Xposed module for KitKat BatteryStats. Any advise is welcomed.
I have attached a jpeg with 3 screenshots
Thanks a lot
First let me give you my phones state
Full stock
Was on Feb update, yesterday (after 2 days of the issue) manually flashed through android recovery to march update and bug fixes.
Not rooted.
The past 3 days my nexus 5x battery has been draining very rapidly (97% down to 32% last night), nothing has changed in the system that i've done and no apps updated aside from google docs and amazon I think. I had installed a few new apps (All4 and iPlayer)) but have since removed these to remove them from a list of culprits. Prior to this battery life was brilliant.
Currently in the process of resetting to factory to see if the issue is more deeprooted. If this fails however im not sure what else it could be besides my battery dying.

Check what drains your battery. I had simillar problem.
When I opened the battery screen i saw quite large drain from some service 10112
I was able to open the service and notice it had something to do with GPS and it basically turned the GPS on without my permision (i had gps turned off)
Then i noticed it even set the GPS to high accuracy and that caused the drain. I switched the gps setting to battery saving and the problem was fixed.
However, I still havent fixed it fully because last night it turned itself on again, and my battery dropped from 79% to 65% within hour.
I did the same thing and it stopped the drain again.
Ok thanks will see if it happens tonight after full reset, I did check battery screen but the highest on there was Google play services and even that wasn't that high (4% and some small mah figure).
I permanently leave my location on battery save and previously have had no issues.
Did you restore from a previous backup? Do you have Snapchat?
No backup as not rooted etc. No snapchat.
Just reset device and reinstalled. All seems fine over the weekend no unusual battery drain.
So my battery on my phone seems to suck... I just made a full wipe clean install of ICE Rom 3.5.0 with cleanslate kernel, balanced pnp profile v. 22, magisk root and got a whooping battery loss of around 30 percent overnight!
I was using stock before and had around 20 battery loss overnight, which sucks and is the reason i wanted to try a custom rom.
My phone is already 4 months old and I did a battery diagnosis, which ended with 94 percent (which is good right?).
Can anyone please help me?
I don't have Facebook or Facebook messenger installed, turned of WiFi and Bluetooth Scan and Location Services.
And I'm using Greenify, although I didn't greenify any apps yet

What email app are you using? How have you got it synced? See how many times it wakes your device using Gsam or some similar app. This was my battery drainer (I use Bluemail). Anyway, check that out first.
20% battery loss overnight is horrible. Something is not set up correctly or is misbehaving.
Reboot your device and let it set for 2 minutes. Now go to System/Settings/Developer options and select Running Services. Everything look OK there?
I cant see your screenshot.

Yes, I lost the same amount although I had the phone in flight AND extreme energy saver mode...
I'm facing the same problem after i updated my Firmware to 2.28.617.6. My Battery Usage show 45% of ANDROID OS an 39% of ANDROID SYSTEM, I'm already tried Viper 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, 5, 5.1, all with the same problem.
I updated firmware using RUU.exe, and i already updated firmware again to 2.41.401.3 with RUU again. Same problem
I realized the problem is not with rom, all of then, stock or custom, show the same situation. Its a firmware problem with Nougat
My phone is a Unlocked version, with S-ON
Any help?
I would perform a full wipe (+data!). Reinstall your Rom freshly, and the problem should be gone.

I'm already did that, all ROM's installs i did with a clean install.
With no one third app installed, the problem persists
i'm already tested turn of wifi, bluetooth, location, put phone on save battery mode, restart all permissions
Nothing helped
The main question is thats something who did not let phone enter in deep sleep
Yeah I've got the same problem with Android OS and Android System (the wakelocks are HVDCPD_WL and NETLINK) keeping the phone awake and preventing deep sleep almost 100% of the time, which is absolutely killing my battery life.
Frustratingly, the problem is not solved with a full wipe + reflash of any ROM. I originally had the problem sometime after the stock 7.0 OTA upgrade, at which point I unlocked the boot loader, flashed Maximus HD, then the problem went away for about a month until just returning a couple days ago. I've tried flashing the latest Maximus HD, Viper, but nothing is fixing it so far.
I bet it's some kind of hardware issue. I'm almost at the point of giving up and getting a OnePlus 3.
Just sharing my experience: I tried every Sense-based ROM I could find, problem of phone not going to sleep persisted. Even tried RUU to latest 2.41.617.3, which of course wipes absolutely everything - same problem, phone not going to sleep. As last ditch attempt, flashed the LineageOS Jan 28th nightly, and the problem is gone. Phone sleeping properly and battery life is back to normal. Not sure if coincidence or what... Going to stay on Lineage for a while as it works pretty well, but will go back and try Sense again in a couple weeks maybe.
This issue started to affect my phone while still on Marshmallow, around 3 weeks ago. It felt like it started after updating an app. This is what prompted me to update to Nougat. However, the issue persisted, even with full wipes, and even with LineageOS installed.
Moving from stock ROM to LineageOS has reduced battery drain from 10% per hour, to 5%.
Airplane mode and battery saver mode makes no difference to the drain. Neither does any WiFi and GPS setting changes - I have already read about a few possible "causes".
Perhaps the only option is S-OFF and re-flash all partitions of the phone?

Running a RUU would be your best option. This will wipe the phone and restore the stock ROM (system, firmware, etc).
Have you looked at wakelocks or app usage to see if there is any unusually high usages? I had a problem with my 10 awhile back that ended up being a particular version of Google Play Services. Usually these issues can be traced to a particular app or setting, it's just a matter of knowing what to look for.
Ohio wake_lock and no deep sleep. Same issue after reflash ruu, lineage, viper... on all roms same issue and no deep sleep. I think it's hardware issue. I try to flash elementalx kernel and it fixed problem for a day, one day only. Worst phone ever for me.

How do you make a battery diagnosis?
Hi, since about a month I've been having the same issue, the kernel HVDCPD_WL and NETLINK wakelocks are keeping the CPU in use and consuming the battery charge at a rate of about 10%/hour. Has anybody got any new info on this? I read of someone that claims of having fixed it by cleaning the usb-c port, but in my case it doesn't seem to make any difference.
