Screens off but sucking the power still - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hay I just left my phone on over night to see what uses the most battery with me doing anything.
The screen used 30% of the battery, what is odd is that everything in the settings is off or set to the lowest it can be set to.
Can you guys help me with how to save more battery from the screen, this is silly that its using so much when it's not doing anything.
What can you think of to help?

Are you unrooted? Do you have a custom ROM? Have you tried taking battery in and out? Or even when these things happened when I was not rooted I found turning airplane mode on and off to work or rebooting the phone as it might of just been a rogue app not allowing the phone to sleep.

hi ,
i would say it is a app,behaving badly ,( badly coded, battery drain? ) that's draining your battery like that ..?
i would suggest try "currentWidget " to check you battery drain ( just remeber to enable the log file, in settings !
my drain, if i leave it overnight,
say about, 9/10 hours, is about 3%/ 4% for this period ( 1mA /3mA a hour )
also try "SystemPanel " to monitor you applications over period of time .
i had same problems as you,
say 15/20% battery drain ,from time to time ,but everytime managed,to id the culprit , with above apps ..!!!
you can find both applications in the market ?
you also don't need, any root for these apps above .
good luck

I'm using LEEDROID v5 I think which shouldn't make a big difference.
Thanks in will download the app and see what they say

Now using cord Droid this is much better on the battery.

regarding the OP, with a lot of the newer kernels the power monitoring stuff is snafu, confirmed by Mad-murdoch on cm, thus the reports of what's using the power are useless, although the overall usage is correct.

Battery life just terrible, need since help plz!!

As title says guys, I don't no why but my battery life is just really bad since I moved from stock 2.1 Rom to custom ROMs :-(
Is it my phone? I can't work pig wot it is. I checked the battery usage #*#*4636*#*#) and it seems the Android system is using A LOT of it. I tried charging with phone off, clearing battery stats, not overcharging, but just can't resolve this issue.
Also, I have sync set to update manually and have mobile internet off always, only on wen needed. Same with WiFi. Screen is on auto and time off screen lock set to 30 seconds
I am using OpenDesire sense Rom
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks

I could feel WiFi siginal of 2.2 is much better that stock 2.1,
I suppose that the better performance will bring the fast battery drain,
if your custom ROM support WiFi N mode,
that really makes your battery life short that before.
I have the same problem and same settings as you. I read on other forum that people who updated to official 2.2 have even better battery life.
I cant even squeze 20 hours out of my battery :/
You guys should always post what ROMs you are using...
Opendesire 3.3, its the same with defrost.
i also had really bad battery life on those 2 roms
even doing nothing the phone would just keep dropping
go to official froyo 2.2
neophye roms for me have amazing battery life = 48 hrs..

Check if the phone goes to sleep correctly. Spareparts > battery usage: other usage, since last unplugged.
I had the same problem, until I found out that the phone was not going to sleep. (running and screen on percentages were way off. Almost 100% running and a lot less for screen on.
update to the last radio
I found that after forcing everything to install to SD card my battery life plummeted. There were apps/widgets that should have stayed on the phone. Once I moved these back, battery life was back to normal.
I use Systempanel to see the battery drain graph and could see a pattern to it.
Same issue here, Will try Neophyte tonight
Using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741663, and it's fantastic! However batt life on .08 and .20 radio is a shocker. I watched a 1 min trailer on youtube, in and out and I lost 4% battery. Before with OpenDesire I'd be shocked if the battery percentage even twitched slightly.

I use Defrost 1.5a and I just use about 2% every hour when the phone is sleeping, and that's with auto sync and mobile data enabled. (disabled it's 1%/hour)
Always underclock to the lowest mhz when the screen is off using SetCPU and when you do use your phone make sure the brightness isn't too high.
I could make a whole list of tips, but I'm sure you'll find more than enough of those on the net.

(using Cyanogenmod 6)
When your screen is off, your phone should automatically go to sleep. Sometimes widgets or apps keep this from happening (like the music player), making it use battery as if you are constantly working on it.
How I resolved this issue was to find out what app or widget caused this. I ended up starting from a fresh reset, installing first all apps I really use (calendar/message widgets, powerstrip etc.)
I tested by installing an app, rebooting (or sometimes not), check the running time of the phone, turning screen off, and check again in 5 minutes. The phone should go to sleep in about 30 - 40 seconds. I am telling you this, because most apps causing this are widgets/apps running constantly.
However, I found in spareparts also that 'settings' was taking alot of usage time in usage statistics. A simple reboot did the trick from here on. But I am guessing I had installed something which made some app not close properly..
Maybe it is better to have a task manager/killer for these situations.
Running and Screen On percentages should not have too much of a difference if your testing and not using the phone while screen is off (music, bg stuff)
You could try juicedefender, it helps improve battery life by disabling unneeded connections while the phone is not in use

50ma battery drain on stock and cm7

Hi wildfire users,
my girlfriend got her wildfire yesterday.
The first thing I've fine, was to root it and check the standby battery drain.
It was between 27 and 50ma in AIRPLANE mode, without sometimes at 120??
My device got 1-2 in airplane and 3-5 without.
Thought it would getting better after flashing cm7, took the rc1...not really.
Any suggestions? Iam an experienced android user, but my options are running out, what else I can do.
What I've done:
Checked drain with current widget,
checked partial wakelocks with spare parts-seems okay.
Uninstalled all custom user apps I had installed.
Read here, that reflashing the radio fixes some issues...didn't tried that yet.
Any other ideas?
What drainages do you've got?
Waiting for your answers.
Edit: perhaps it will help to let it charge it to 100% and check again...maybe let it also discharge one time ^^.¿?
....think i was perhaps a bit over motivated...

Battety drain will be above normal just after flashing a ROM. You need to make a full charge and then go to recovery and wipe the battery status.
Then do few complete charge-discharge cycles. Then it will be definitely better than stock rom. And use CPU settings in smart way. Work on the minimum setting and governor. Also depends on other factors like live wallpapers etc..,

Battery calibration gives accurate reading only, it will not improve the weared out battery.
When shifting between roms, the battery will not give accurate reading because not all roms utilize the battery in the same manner (Rom saves the details in batterystats.bin file). So, what if it gives wrong reading. There might be a possibility that it shows 100% even when not fully charged. So we think battery drains faster, but the fact is we haven't charged it fully. (correct me for any errors).
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Yes showing 100% wrongly must be the only situation where battery calibration be blamed. But 8-10 hrs of charging from deep-down-zero should definitely make it full, right ?
Whats your general time taken for charging in standby mode (WiFi, Mobile Data, Bluetooth Off).
I am experiencing heavy battery drain with WiFi, since I installed Sunabh ROM. (He adds a switch off wifi notification to hide this fault. Cunning.)
Any solutions ? May be re-flash the radio or change the kernel ?
Dude, attack the CID bug.
I resolved my issue without even switching of my phone once, let alone flashing anything.
Running for more than 2 days now. \m/

I need a good battery saver app.

Anyone know of a good battery saver app that actually work? Right now I'm using juice defender ultimate and it is OK and I'm sure most of the problem is the rom I'm using (simonsimons34's cm9 for marvelc, great rom) I just charged my phone to 86% and 15 minutes later its at 61%. Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated, thank you.

Is deep sleep working on that ROM cause that's an awful lot of battery usage... Or were you doing something battery-expensive at the time?
I personally don't believe in battery saving apps. All they do is manage your phone's hardware (wifi,Bluetooth etc.) They are always running in the background so they use even more battery. Apps like BetterBatteryStats help you track your battery usage so you see what's using your battery the most and cut down it's usage

I agree, it's much better to do it yourself via a notification drawer power widget.
Make sure bluetooth and wifi isn't left on all day, turn off gps (gps is still on, albeit in a power saving mode, even if the icon isn't showing) when you aren't using it. Lower your screen brightness. Turn off sync and data if they're not needed, and go into aeroplane mode if you don't have any signal (because your phone will drain the battery desperately trying to find a network tower).
I don't think deep sleep is being used on this rom, and its still in beta so Bluetooth and wifi aren't working right now. I have easy task killer to stop running un needed apps and juice defender helps a little. I have had battery issues before but I seriously want to just throw it sometimes, I feel like I am always at the charger with my phone. But thank you guys for the help.

A task killer will only drain battery, trust me. Leaving these apps in RAM won't use up any more battery, but having them relaunch after you kill them will.
If deep sleep isn't working, you would benefit from setting a lower minimum CPU clock. You might suffer a slight performance loss when you unlock. Or otherwise, you can try setting different CPU settings for on and off state. I believe setCPU allows this but you'll need to check.
Helped me slightly with modpunks alpha 0 which didn't have deep sleep.
Without deep sleep, I'm afraid most of the other battery saving methods won't work much...
Sent from my Wildfire S A510e using XDA
I dont think that setcpu will help completely, the mentioned drain of battery is a huge amount..and yes the best battery saver is yourself ..maybe your time time change the battery has come up?
I had the same issue a little while ago. when I checked in the battery section of the menu I found that "media server" was running ALOT. often it was using more battery than the screen. after reading a few posts and downloading watchdog lite to see when the process was running, I heard that it could be that the SD card needed formatting (and partitioning as I use INT2EXT). So I formatted my SD, made a new partition reflashed the ROM, gapps and script and BINGO. no more "media server", no more problem.
don't know if this helps but thought id mention it, it was driving me mad.

Another battery will not help.

Wiping battery stats does nothing, all stories about "improving battery life" are complete bull**** - it has nothing to do with battery!!
All ICS and ICS-Based ROMs, yes that also means all Jelly Bean ROMs,that are based on ICS, have that ICS bug, which causes battery drain after every charge. You need to restart your phone in order to fix it. Restart after charging and no more massive drain should occur.
If it does, it must be something in your personal settings.

I'm experiencing quite the same problem on my Arc (LT15i) although I don't think it occurs after every charge, and I'm not even sure it does only appear when I charged the phone.
I remarked that the radio is going a bit buggy (switching from Wi-Fi to 2G/3G or constantly reconnecting to the mobile network) and when this appears, I have to reboot the phone or the battery dies in 6 to 8 hours (when the problem don't occurs, it can go on for 36-48h).
Anyone has noticed the same thing or am I experiencing another battery drain problem ?
Not trying to hijack or anything, but as my problem relates to yours, I thought I'll write to this thread.
My LT18i battery drains around 10-20%/hour even when put to airplane mode and rebooting before. I just tested last night and charged the battery full, left the phone to airplane mode and at the morning after 7 hours there was 20% left!!! I even checked from betterbatterystats and the phone had been on deep sleep almost all the time.
Have had this problem for a while, but havent found any solution to it, if anyone can help, PLEASE do!

There is an app or something, that is using lots of battery. Check sync settings (some apps have it in app settings), turn off WiFi/3G/Bluetooth/GPS, make sure app is working.
And do not use taskkillers.
And if you can, post a screenshot of Battery Usage screen, with the list of apps consuming battery.
I flashed Stock ICS .587 on my arc last night and charged it 'till today in morning so i took my arc restarted it and 'till now worked just fine,my battery is almost dead but i used my phone today at max.I did some callings,played Asphalt 7,used wifi and internet,dolphin browser,installed some basic apps from market,done a cwm bacup,installed some cam mods cyber-shot,tested the camera.but hey even the battery is dieing now it's cool.I had fun with it for today,i hope this battery will last always ss today.
Apps kills the battery,so i deleted FB,i frezzed some apps that i don't use everyday,and i have my brightness on 50%.

Pretty sure, theres no apps running and I have everything turned off, I even took the sim card off for testing purposes.
Betterbatterystats shows 98% deep sleep at my tes period of one night.
Now it gets even weirder...A friend of mine suggested that I try to turn the phone fully off (power totally off).
I charged the battery to 100% last night and pulled the battery, putted it back on and let the phone sit on the table untouched for the night. When I turned it on on the morning battery showed 4% left!!!
So theres a huge drain even when the phones power is turned fully off. I dont know does this indicate a broken battery (battery 2 months old) or something wrong with the hardware ???
Turn phone off. Charge to 100% when 2-5% left
After fullcharge, use ur phone. When it drops to 50% exactly shut it down. Remove battery for a minute. Reinsert battery and dont turn it on.
Charge it again to 100%
Done
This worked for me

[Q] HELP cell standby huge battery drain[tried each n everything prb still persists]

hey guys...
i have tried everything to stop the battery drain
switched to many different roms
under-clocked processor to 768mhz
set a black wallpaper
brightness set to minimal
did battery calibration
switched of all background processes and made sure no location seeking programs works.
used CPU spy, the cell does go to deep sleep
tried juice defender and deep sleep battery saver
but nothing seemed to work
phone locked on full charge drains 40 to 50% in night without using.
then after a few days later i restored everything and opened airplane mode and I went to sleep, in the morning the battery didn't went low a single percent. battery health is good as works really well on airplane mode.
i have low signal issues but i get text msgs and calls with no problems at all, and my explorer and s3 seems to perform well
my all type pf connectivity is off example: location access WiFi Bluetooth etc only gsm is working, i manually selected the network and set it to gsm only rather them auto from *#*#4636#*#*.
what shall i do??
i searched and tried many things from the internet.
i really want those calls i cant always be on airplane mode, the problem is 200% of the antenna draining juice to get more signals. please help.
is there any way to stop the battery drain or restricting the antenna to consume less juice?
PS:using cm10.1 by nightly version:19 Aug 13.
anyone??
one thing more i installed better battery stats it says
no or unknown signal
no data connection
and it is running continuously like since i installed betterbatterystats.
where can i get this bug?? or disable this service??
please give a detailed explanation.
There are a few good apps to try I use
battery mix (I think this is one of the best) and wakelock detector both from my the market.

i will use it for a while and will let u know its results.
thank you for all your support.
well the radio update did improve the battry a little
now it drains 40% instead of 50% but still its not enough.

Battery drain
I´m having same problems with my DHD, currently im using 4.2.2 Samsation (was it named like that but anyways 4.2.2). Without using phone it still drains 40% in few hours.. I got replacement battery from eBay and thought that would help but didnt help at all. I´ve tried different roms but would like to have newest roms without battery draining so much, so could someone share how to get it better?
And about changing radio, was there a possibility that you may brick ur device if installing wrong radio?

Have you tried looking at Better Battery Stats to see if it's an app draining your battery?

yup there was nothing, no wakelocks etc i even underclocked my processor to 768mhz... the thing is the signal reception cause when i turn the cell in airplane mode and leave it over night the battery doesnt goes down a single percent. it acts solid.
i get around 18 asu signals at my place i check it from *#*#4636#*#*
but the thing is i was using an HTC explorer before switching to desire hd and with the gsm mode(no airplane mode) the battry stayed solid like the desire hd one with airplane mode(didnt dropped a single percent) at the same house same place.
dont know what going on.
