[Q] high battery drain on ARHD 6.1.0 - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all, i am experiencing ridiculous battery drain on my desire hd. usually last about 10hrs with little to moderate use, have tried battery calibration but did not make any difference? i quite often see battery drain of 100 - 300 mah but do not know what is using that power.
Any other known fixes?
Am going to do a clean flash of 6.1.1 over weekend to see if this helps...

yep... when i was on ARHD 5.2 with the older radio i never had this problem.
i have noticed the battery drain on standby quite often. i have sent just a few text messages and read a few e-mails today and battery already down to 47% after just 8 hours, which is only because i refrained from using it too much...
i'll tried the calibratiojn by damo but charged while the phone was switched on... will try this again like you said,
thanks

Battery life-desire 88% display!

Hey guys how is everyone? Just a quick one...
In the past 12 months I've had my desire I'm shocked at how short my fone battery lasts. I can barely get 8 hours off the phone without a recharge. The phone sometimes switches off as soon as it gets to 15%. I've tried to calibrate the battery, wiping battery stats but all to no avail. Just this morning I've had the phone on for 1hour 10mins. From a full overnight charge its already at 64%. Battery use always shows the display to be using atleast 70%! I'm on the old amoled desires. Anything I can do peeps? Cheers
What's the total time of battery?

NB. Currently using android oxygen 2.3.3. Noticed no difference in any of the default htc roms I've used.
Been on 1hr 20mins and its shed 40%. I can try and take a screenshot for you guys

That sounds about normal to me, it sucks, get used to it or use your phone less. sorry.
Also forgot to mention screen brightness generally between 30-50%. Cheers folks

You probably messed up your battery with all that "calibrating". Unless your standby usage is significantly more than 10mA there isn't much you can do.
I had the same problem with oxygen. My fix was to unpartition my SD card. So no ap2sd. I use the hboot for different. I easily get 24 hrs with heavy data and video use.
May need a fresh install.

[Q] 10 Percent Battery Drain in 10 Minutes

Hello everyone,
i have a problem i have not really heard of.
In Standby, i can get quite a good performance of say 1% per hour.
When i'm actually using the phone however, the battery life is just terrible.
I just opened google Maps for 5 Minutes (lowest brightness, no wifi, no gps) and my battery went from 11 to 1 percent.
Same thing yesterday. I was playing falling fred for 5-10 Minutes and the battery went from 100% down to 88%
I'm using ARHD 6.3.1.
I also just noticed, that my Dialer used 30% battery, even though i only made 3 calls.
Anyone have any Ideas?
Well its normal to have battery drain while screen is on....but still try calibrating ur battery.....
And give a try with klquicksall v12 kernel.....

There are some good posts around on how to figure out what's causing unusual battery drain. Here are two:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937080

Basically, you probably have an app that it using excessive amounts of CPU and using power. The trick is to find out which one. Apart from the tips in the two threads linked above, you could try an app like Watchdog Lite to find out what it is.
Did you flash the new radio after flashing 6.3.1? I got the same problem but then flashed the newer radio and the Problem was gone

[Q] Display drains 85% of battery on CM 7.2

Hi, I have one question. I have Wildfire S powered by CM 7.2 (Alquez). Battery use shows me that display drains battery by 85%. Is this normal?

May not be correct. Go into recovery/advance/Wipe Battery Stats. Then reboot and your battery stats will be refreshed and corrected.

I tried that, still the same. Display drains 85%.
That's right! the screen is the biggest drain on battery as your screen is on the whole time your doing stuff eg. Games, browser, videos etc.
Only when in standby is it off hence the reason battery can last a very long time in sleep.
In stock rom's it doesn't show the screen in battery usage but if it did I'm sure it would be very similar.

One more thing. My phone getting hot when I use it. Not much but more than normal. Cpu set 245-600.

Viper 1.01 drains battery a lot

even when one x is sleeping, battery is being drained fast. this afternoon, i left it sleeping when it had 9% of battery. after two hours i checked the phone, it had ran out...
I agree, even I'm experiencing this. I got equal if not worse battery compared to stock 1.29 ROM. I even had the CPU sleeper app installed and had fast dormancy on. I was using it with stock kernel though. I'm going to try the latest Faux kernel and see how it goes. It's reported to give the best battery life.

why you left your phone with just 9% battery overnight?
anyways there must be an app that is keeping your app awake when screen is off hence why the drain...install betterbatterystats and check what is keeping the phone awake..that way you can uninstall that app and no more drain for you.
plus faux i am using and is brilliant
Viper Rom

No problems for me, all running good :laugh:
If fast dormancy is not supported by your network it will in fact increase battery use!

[Q]Drunk battery?

Hello guys,
You might not know me, but i'm new to the Desire HD forums. I just bought one from a friend and i realy love the device.
Anyway,
I thought i might aswell root it. So after 3 hours, i finally managed to root my Desire HD/ace.
While flashing This Rom, 4EXT recovery said i had 50% battery left.
After flashing, and booting, the Device said that the battery was 95% full?
Is there something wrong with my Radio?
Thanks in advance,
TheRinseM.

Radio has nothing to do with battery (at least as far as spikes; I suppose a more inefficient radio could drain more battery). Did you full wipe before flashing? How old is your battery?
No the flashed ROM's on our Desire HD particularly ICS and JB have a problem with Battery %. Sometimes you can get random falls and a reboot will usually put the % right again. If you charge to 100% overnight then go into recovery and reset battery stats it can help.

My battery said it was 56%, then i did a reboot, and it was 95%. But wiping battery stats works! Thanks alot!

Mine has the drunk battery too. I really have no idea what the battery percent really is ever, but it never runs out before getting down to 0% so at least I have some reserve. I have the original battery in mine.

wipe battery stats in recover, I think.
Did not work. Stock and cm10.1 it's the same no matter what I try. I "calibrated" the battery several times. Has no effect. I guess the battery isn't as bad as it first seems because after it gets below reading around 40% it drops slower the lower it gets. 1% will last another half hour screen on time playing a game.

New battery may fix this. I had this jumping around issue a few months ago irrespective of the ROM and it turned out the battery was dying.
My next step is a new battery when I have the money. That's what I think is the problem as well.

1% lasting 1/2 hour screen on is very good what are your battery stats, Mine is about 13 1/2hrs with 30% left using in 3g plus Sync and internet and calls and navigation on AOKP 7/4/13.

With screen on it can go from 100% to 45% in like half an hour or less iv think. Once below 40% it lasts a while. I can get a day out of it moderate use. Should be good once I replace the battery.
