[Q]battery drain - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi you all
I resently went from Android Revolution Hd to CM 7, and I'm a bit suprised over the battery drain I have had the first cycluses.
My DHD have no been on for about 7 houres, an I have allready not more than 25 % of battery left with moderate usage. With this much usage it lastet until late night on stock and with Android Revolution HD, and my phone is configured the same as before, only there are fewer things that are syncing on cm7 than on the others roms?
I did a full swipe prior to installing a new rom, I cleaned dalvik cache, and reset battery stats after instalation.
I am using the recomended radio 26.04.02.17_m2 with the RIL for that radio.
What I did was to install launcher pro and uses that instead of the adw launcher, do I need to do anything else with the ADW other than just set the launcher pro as standard launcher?
Anybody else had these problems or has any suggestions?
Thanks in advance...

CM7 eats more there is nothing we can do about it I think.
Put that aside I am user and I bought it to use it, it lasts for me about 5-6 hours sometimes less, what bothers me my battery is always hot but I need to charge it to use it. I fear it'll explode someday.
But when I am not using it it can eat about 1 percent or less but I do not need it to lay around doing nothing. Should have bought galaxy tab or somethin.

I don't have any battery drain issues with CM7 and Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3.
This is with light usage (no GPS or Wifi):

With heavier usage I can go 1.5 to 2 days.

Yes it is.

OMG!
5 days with a DHD??
do you ever call or light up your screen?
Even with my Arc and light usage (only 20 mins wifi per day) I can barely reach 3 days

How is 5 days possible? What settings do you use and what program is that?

WTF?¿?¿ HOW YOU CAN DO IT? wen i flash CM7 in my htc hero or my DHD the batteryThe battery is consumed in 1 ' 5 days more or less.
with the recommenend radios, and cyanogen kernel with SET CPU (HERO: 514 MHZ conservative, and DHD 960mhz smartass)

The problem was solved for me after the 7.02 update, and by installing the newest test radio. With moderate to heavy usage I get somwhere around 20 - 30 hours.
Extremely happy with how my DHD is acting with this ROM. I missed Sense applications, but after installing Launcher PRO I got it the way I wanted.
But 5th days..... Thats impressive

you know some apk that simulates the favourite contacts (like htc widget)with a facebook association?
for simulate the flip&clock i use fancy widgets.apk or wheather and toogle widgets.apk by addon... I surprised this one, because it is very seemed to that of HTC, but I do not spend it because for it it is roms with sense hahaha

Cell standby consuming more than 40% percent battery?

Is this normal?
I'm using the latest radio and RIL...
32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14
It's the best I've used so far but I think that this is not normal...

It depends of the other "consumers". 40 % means that it's consuming 40% of the 100% total consumed at every point in time. So, if the overall battery drain is low, 40% from that, doesn't necessarily mean too much.

I see.. it makes sense! Thanks
But wow.. 1 day and 7h and 40% battery? Which ROM/Radio are you using?
I can't even get 24 hours with almost not using the phone..
Id be happy with 24. I barely get 6 lol
I am able to get almost 30 hours of usage and even after that I got 25-30% left. Using 11.14 radio + DeFrost 5.7 with SetCPU on ondemand. Been 15 hours(Mostly on standby with Wi-Fi + Nimbuzz on) and I still got 80% left .

I'm also with this and have results but not as good as you.. maybe because i'm using a Sense ROM I also had SetCPU in interactive.. will try and see if ondemand is better!
Hours will be many if Display on time is low (below 4-5 hours) or similar heavy processing is kept very low. Easy to get near 2 days with that usage with even the stock ROM.

Then I'm doing something wrong... I did calibrate the battery yesterday and it's a bit better... almost no usage and it's now 12hours uptime with 75% battery..
Are there any apps to monitor the apps that use most battery? The stock information is too restricted

They end up using more battery usually. Go to accounts and sync and make sure it isn't syncing crap in the background, by default Sense syncs News and weather every 15 minutes or so which drains a lot of battery. Also I'd recommend using Gmail with push rather than HTC Mail(Unless using the newer Froyo one with Exchange activesync) so that it doesn't check for new e-mails over and over again. Also don't install apps you don't need and widgets also consume battery. Make sure things aren't using Wi-Fi if you don't need them. And flashing richard's OCUV kernel for HTC Sense based ROMs will also help(Along with it use SetCPU with ondemand/conservative governor).

[Q] Battery mA

Hi
Baterry usage
29/30ma in standby, isn't that too much? When IDLE
HD2- normaln/ idle 3-8mA
Normal for G2 is ??
Thanx
Virtuous v1.0.1 (HTC Sense 1.85.72.2)
1.85
T-mobile g2
usage only 2g (EDGE)
yeah thats fairly normal matey, mine is always on 30ma in idle and 250-300 in use.
my battery lasts a full day sooo i dont mind
my old hd2 lasted me a whole day as well.
i dont mind much difference in battery life between the two phones
just make sure you use setcpu and make a profile so that when the screen is off the cpu min is 256 and the cpu max is 256... you could set the max a little higher if you want but i have no problems using this setup.
Currently on miui and I have 3-8 on idle on average. I always check my ma usage with current widget.

Thanx for answer

Edit: Damn I feel like a retard. I didn't see that I was in the G2 forum. I got a G2 also. It was my nexus one which was clocking in at 3-8ma sorry. Still worth a shot to try it out.

quick question what is miui like?
im guessing from the looks of it its like android with a smoother interface like ios
What kind of idle consumption are other people getting?
I feel like mine is kind of high, but not sure. G2 stock OTA rom. Perm rooted and Oced, running SetCPU. Currentwidget says somewhere between 37-40mA in idle. That gets me something like 30-33 hours of pure idle on wifi calling.

My DZ (currently running stock rooted Sense 1.82) idles at about 28mA if I have Wi-fi/data off, 2G only, and SetCPU locking the CPU to minimum when the screen's off... about 32-35mA with Wi-fi/data on and 3G (SetCPU still locking the CPU to minimum when the screen's off)

Rom with best battery life

As per title, which roms has gives the desire the best battery life? I presume it will be AOSP roms like redux?
Oxygen wins by me.

TouchPaled from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
I used the HTC Gingerbread rom and flashed it to Gingervillian and didn't really notice a difference.
I love my MIUI =)
oxygen easily

Oxygen. Can get up to 3 days battery without touching it. I'd say it's thanks to Thalamus' kernel though.

the problem is that we need to touch the phone..haha lol
to the OP: the battery life ONLY depends on how u use the phone. every rom is about same..no magic things anywhere
Oxygen or MIUI...
But as far as i know, it also depends on what kernel and/or radio you are using
And I think that Oxygen is the best battery saver.
Haven't tried Oxygen but Redux is pretty good.
What was 26 hours with SGBS ended up being 51hrs on Oxygen. Same widget setup, both times the device was used with screen on time of 2h30m and roughly the same talk time. I was at the same place both time and the radio was the same, this one in my sig.
How much "Screen on" time do you people get?
I can easily get 3 days if I don't use my phone at all, but that kind of defeats the purpose of a smartphone.
The max display on time I can get is between 4-5 hours.
But that is if I use it for reading a pdf-book in night mode (black background with grey text)
If I browse the interwebs I get max 2½ hours because of the mostly white background.
Playing games (Angry Birds) is 1½-2 hours.
What do all of you get?
For me Oxygen is the best ROM for battery performance.

Screen on time nearly five hours (checking facebook and twitter, email, some chat and xda forum app; brightness: 20 - 25 %) with some phone calls drains my battery from 100% to 10% with ~ 1d 11h on it. At the moment I do not play any games.
CPU-Setting: Min 245, Max 768 ONDEMAND governor. I do not use setcpu or juice defender or anything like this. Just the cpu controller included in oxygen. Could not notice any difference so far. Thalamus' kernels seems to be very well programmed.
Oxygen or Solstice
Cheers guys, oxygen Rom it is then.
With the oxygen Rom, which is the most battery efficient kernel?
has anyone experience with a sense rom?

Best battery drain

Hi guys, I need your help and your experience, I have to find out which is the ROM with the lowest consumption, and above all I have to be able to download it, now I have the basic MIUI froyo, Undervolt with and without overclocking, but the duration is longer than only in theory, you could help me to try downloading some other froyo or gingerbread with a consumer really ridiculous, I do not care that there is sense.I state that I have the 50 mha `Undervolt unless that use the powersave clocked up to 700 mhz, I removed all the unnecessary pages, activate the 2g brightness reduced to 20% but does not last more than 24 hours, I think it is a excessive consumption of the screen, so it advise me know if there is some program that lowers the consumption of the screen on.
well u wouod have to try them all to find something that you really like but lord clockans ice cold sandwich works like a charm I can usually get 15 hours of medium use on a single charge
Medium -- music,browsing games ,

that and do not go towards sense, try CM7 or MIUI as they would get you a longer life.
Hey all,
I have been flashing roms every two weeks for about a year now. Lord Clockan s ICS rom is pretty good battery wise, however it does drag at times, especially the chrome browser. I recently installed Energy ROM, and I must say its absolutely the best thing I have flashed. After an entire day of good usage +- 2hrs screen on, I still have 50 percent left!! Simply amazing for the DHD. Give it a try
You can only find out by using some ROM's yourself

I've been using IceColdSandwich daily for at least a month. I upgraded to IceCold 8.5 from CM7. I would agree with other posts in the thread about the great battery life. I can get a day plus on a full charge with light use. This is using the default kernel and governors.

Post a Screenshot of your battery drain in the settings and give details about your setup. And what is fast in your opinion? 1% /hour?
Maybe you should buy the extended battery kit?

try flashing different kernels and see which one suits u the best.every phone is different.u may also wanna underclock and undervolt. also change the rom may b if changing kernel doesnot work.ine suggestion.XenonHD rom with its stock kernel.
The stock battery is a joke at 1800 and the extended is 2100...I had both and both sucked although the 2100 was a lil better. I have the 3800 Seiko battery now and that will last me all day. Makes the phone thicker but its better then charging all day and worrying about what's killing your battery.

Turn off features when not being used like data NFC GPS.
Also avoid auto task killers
How much does it drain in one hour? Battery drain depends on many factors. The mains ones would be what kernel and ROM you are running as well as what "features" you have turned on. For example I am running CM10.1 with the stock CM kernel and I usually get around 16-18 hours of battery life with 1.5-2 hours of screen time.. that is with all of the features (gps, NFC, etc.) turned OFF.

How on earth can you drain a 3800mAh battery in one day? Nonstop internet radio AND 3d gaming on full display brightness?
I am currently using PA rom with franco kernel. Normal day = roughly 13-15 hours ish.
By normal day I mean around 30 minutes of talk time, about 1 hour ish web browsing and like what, 30 minutes ish of youtube? Of course, sometimes I am free and end up playing games on it for couple hours lol, but the stock battery seems to be plenty enough to me.
My battery makes it about 15-17 hours,with about 1 hour gaming,1 hour browsing and talk time around 1,5 hours...Xylon + Purity Kernel!
It is what it is. This is Wi-Fi only on this charge:

Turn data off when not using it. You can download a widget for that.
Keep screen brightness down low.
If rooted use setcpu and choose a screen off profile of 350mhz maximum - I find this a real benefit.
