[Q] Battery lifetime on official OTA Froyo ROM release?

Hi
Any news on how long battery last on the new official release?
Im currently on Pays ROM, and battery last between 24-48 h, with 3g and wifi turned on and daily use of phone, sms and browsing.
Just tried some ROMs that didnt even last a whole day

In 3 hours I have nearly used 50% of battery and that is with 3 short phone calls.
System, cell standby, wifi and phone idle account for 80% usage. Was using a different froyo rom before putting oem one on and did not have this type of drain.
Also not using an app killer as people have been saying that the system can handle the apps, that has not been the case and will install again.

My battery drain has been up massively since I went to 2.2 with the OpenDesire ROM. Phone standby takes most of it. What's causing such excessive usage? Even on the official ROM now :-/
What ROM's are you guys getting best battery with?

You should post on which ROMs you have the battery drain...

I have had massive battery drain on all ROMs until I started using the rooted 2.2 OTA. I would have to charge my phone twice every day but now it's great, I have 65 percent left after a full day of heavy use.
Edit: tried almost every FroYo ROM before this.

Which ROM are you using? I can't decide which one to download
Battery life is also my only problem with this otherwise amazing phone

Maybe it's the rom/radio combination!?

I had PaysDesire v2.3 before installing the OTA 2.2. The battery with PaysDesire with average use went from 100% to like 60% in 12 hours. With the latest one, i lost 8% in 2 hours but with over average usage. Testing the camera, installing apps, setting up things...
That is why I am still not convinced that the battery sucks on 2.2 and I will wait few days (until the shine wears off, as Coldplay would say) before bringing my final decision.

yep ,I now about
you use OTA officiall not ruted

Doesn't you guys' phones' display use most of the battery? For me it's at least 70% of the battery usage.
With SetCpu I use about 1% battery on standby, but as soon as I use it, it drains battery like crazy, even though the brightness is set to 25%...

I am using this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
I took it off charge at 7 a.m. an have used it quite heavily today and the battery is still at 50% so I am pleased.

8 Hours and im on 68 %
2 Hours 3D Gaming and browsing 1 Hour.SmS/Few Calls between.
Official 2.2 Froyo ROM.
Wait for Kernel Sources and i think Battery Drain will fall and fall =)

I'll second that. Definitely getting better battery performance on ieftm's ROM than any of the 2.2 ROM's I've used before including Neophytes's, DeVillain, and various others. I've also got much more memory too.

you win the prize for the 1000th desire user posting in the wrong section. The moderators are probably going to win their 100th prize for not moving threads/warning people. And we'll just end up with the 10th thread about battery life scattered in every place.
that aside, no rom or os version has changed a fig for me about battery. It's still good in reasonable terms.

+1.i am getting really good battery performance on this ROM.
but from my experience even from WinMO you will never find a single ROM on which people would agre on 100% that is good or bad.everyone is getting different results.everyone has different apps instaled,using different combination of services (push mail,wi fi,3G...).
Someone will always claim good battery life and others will say it is crap.this is really about testing what works for you the best.
Sorry for my english guys...

When i have a good connection then my battery is ok. After 16 hours i have still 12%. If my connection is bad (i'm in a building) so it search for connection and lost it again i see the battery drain and my battery is empty after few hours...

[Q] how is your battery life on your Desire HD?

just like the title states; how is your battery life on your Desire HD? and how many times do you have to recharge it to get I through the day? I heard its quite bad and might even require up to 3 times of recharge.

Mine is great, what rom are you using the rom and the kernel really can help u save and or drain ur battery

I'm at 13% with 1 day 5 hours use since unplugged so I'm happy with it. I'm running the redemption ics rom
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using Tapatalk

It alway depends how often your screen is on and if your are all the day use wifi or 3G.
I need to recharge my Desire HD once per day, if i´m using it not very often once per two days.
I´m on Coredroid-ROM with superpower.

Mostly twitter, Facebook and tapatalk with a bit of youtube. The best I've had was 1 day 16 hours but that was using the retaliation GB rom
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using Tapatalk

Now at 58%, with 8 hours from 100%. But this is with a brand new battery. My old one who is 1 year old now, only lasts out for about 7 hours.
I'm using Redemption v1.0-Alpha

About 10 hours with 40 minutes display use with IceColdSandwitch

Mine usually lasts enough for 2 days use. I've undervolted it using killersloth's script and also lowered the autobrightness levels.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium

I can get up to 2 days depending on usage with IceColdSandwich 6.1
Disabled wifi & bluetooth when not in use, turned off auto adjust brightness & sec sync to happen once an hour for email etc, and not while screen is off.
GPS seems to be a real battery killer tho

I'm on stock ROM and have to recharge daily. Keep data connection (3G & WiFi) off as I found battery usage stats don't reflect their imicit battery usage well. Also if you're getting constantly bad phone signal, it'll drain your battery more. Kill any apps which cause your phone to consistently stay awake.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA

I can get up to 3 - sometimes 4 days depending on usage. I'm running MIUI ROM

Mine is used for personal and business use. So you can really see how usage takes its toll on your battery. I Have messed with auto brightness, got about 4 cpu profiles. but it is all down to usage. both pics are no changes to handset. just usage..
I Have 5 email accounts set up, calls and texts. pics can see when work is busy & quiet.

Battery comes down to how you use your device and the apps you have installed as well as the rom installed on your device. You could set your device up just like mine in every way and still get different battery life times. This has been covered to death. Search before opening a new thread.

[Q] Battery draining issue

Hello everyone I'm new in Android as I have just purchased One X 5 day ago.
Right now i'm using latest custom rom (ARHD 6.0.0) including ROM cleaner to clean up bloatware. But I noticed that the battery life drains quite fast unexpectedly.
Here's my regular usages starting today 8am-8pm:
-I on 2G network only.
-replied 5 sms.
-received/making calls for total 3 mins (4 times)
-listening to music with beats audio on 80% volume for 2 hrs.
-do some casual fb/internet surfing with wifi on (20mins total), wifi is off when not used.
From 8am-8pm, battery drain from 100% to 65%. Is that normal ?
Advice is greatly needed.
*1 more thing, I installed the corecontrol app to have 2 cores enabled. Could that be the reason why battery is draining fast as it is using 2 main cores and overwrite the "hidden" energy efficient fifth core of tegra 3 which is used to perform simple tasks ?

You should really look into the ARHD forum and please use the Search button.
There are a lot of threads related to batteries where I am sure you will find your answer.
35% drain in 12 hours with that usage is good.
Thanks.

How long does your battery last...

...and do you have any pro tips on how you make it last longer.
I get aprox. 9 hours out of my phone with heavy use all day, 806 Max, performance governor with an irc client running and my email fetching from about 5 accounts every 5 min. With Facebook and twitter running in the background.
I personally think that is pretty awesome battery life.

Depends on what I'm doing. If I play games from when its 100 percent charged to 15 percent that's honestly maybe an hour and a half 2 hours if I'm lucky. But I used to use juice defender it helps noticeably.

OK I take that back I just tested to see how long my battery would last playing a game and it barely lasted am hour from 100% to 25%. I'm pretty shocked and irritated. I think I definitely need a new battery or a new from that's not in beta still, but not too many rooms out there for CD a wfs.

Honestly, you are the smartest dev left on that team...
So, I will share.. radio eats up battery and display does.. so, I don't check my emails frequently.. in fact have network off most of the time.. operate on wifi and sip when needed, gps never used.. display at a minimum with a fairly quick timeout.. power saving features in kernel, undervolted and underclocked more and more as battery expires.
Wouldn't release a rom like I use to the general public bc most would consider the stuff I disabled as broken, but I only allow what I use, when I use it... Currently trying to eek 72 hrs out of this lil phone Not gonna make it on this try though.

After I calibrated my wifes WFS it lasts more than 3 days up to a week if there is no usage. Before the calibration she had to charge it every day.
Check Play for "Battery Calibration" and download the app. Charge your phone to 100% and then run the app. Worked great on her WFS and I will see on mine soon.
Of course Sense was mostly disabled/removed and here are no useless widgets for social networks running. Wifi-Off, GPS-Off

I could probably get that much if I don't touch my phone! Otherwise, a day or day depending on the amount of usage.
Btw, Ben, any chance of us seeing that Roboto ROM soon?

For what? this is getting funny. Another "my battery is bad" thread? Keep in mind that this is quad core HD smartphone not nokia E51 ! Your phone good score should be 2 DAYS! And when in heavy use, it will be couple of hours! this not gonna change!

just do some comparison,differ country 3G line will affect the BL too, just want know which one better.i didnt complaint my battery is bad. when u see a lot of forum member post about this , that means the battery life is one of concern of people.
so i started a thread to gather all the info from member , maybe we find someway to work out for longer the bl of our devices

It looks like you dont know anything about how 3G works and why it may affect BL. Its all about range, protocol switching, and BTS placement.
Keep in mind, this is SMARTPHONE with QUAD+1 CORES and HD display. The good battery life score with average usage is 1 DAY. with heavy usage is couple of H. If you want it to work a week without charge, get nokia E51.
Poeple need to understand that there is no such topic as bad battery life in such monsutros smartphone. Live with it or leave it.

Well I fully charged my HOX on about 20:00 and in the morning when I wake up (12:00- I'm a heavy sleeper ) , It still shows 100% of battery! That's quite outstanding, isn't it?

Yeah after a few days struggling with a battery draining issue I managed to solve it and now my HOX has an amazing battery life Even though it is still facing some battery draining with the camera (Not to mention the scratched camera lens). It lasts 2-3 days with normal gaming. 5-6 days of normal usage (without gaming)

Well I updated the software build to the latest. Than I do a factory reset. After that, I use my phone normally until it shows me the warning of "the battery is lowerthab 10%", I turn off my phone completely then charge it for 8 -> 12 hours then turn it on and use it normally again. Repeat those steps 3-4 times and your HOX's battery life should be fine

You should still be able to do it whilst its on charge as it shouldn't reset the stats until its full or you unplug.
