[ISSUE] Problem with battery drain with mobile network ON(WCDMA) - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I get a very huge battery drain with MOBILE NETWORK ON and WCDMA/GSM
EX : today i had 42% battery, activated MN for 15 min and browsed for like 5 min on some sites(no DL) . After 15 min , my battery droped to 28% :O which i found very weird, since it was some small navigation...
Is this normal ?
AND
WI-FI is normal regarding usage, and standby batter drain is like 3-4% on 8 hours

What do you have turned on when browsing through your network?
Do your phone search for coverage alot?
Have you flashed a different radio?

Radio might be an issue! It drains alot of power. You might be a good idea to flash a new one

The Desire HD has very high battery drain and when on 3g it will search for coverage. Try new radio and new light rom

Try to turn off 3g when u don't need. The gsm mode have 5-8% gain of energy, perhaps change your radio too.

hello,
i have big problem with my HTC Desire (rooted with custom ROM). Before 2 weeks my Desire worked perfect: battery drain full after 3-4 days, network signal was good. But now battery drain full after 8-12hours, and i have problem with signal. At home signal was good, but now signal is low. And the phone reboots 1-3 times a day. All problems start in the same moment.
When I switch Desire to Airplane mode or to only gsm or 2g mode battery drain normal.
I tried factory reset, install other roms, other kernels, newest radio, 2 batteries; 2 sim cards; scan with 3 different antivirus (no virus), format /boot; /cache; /system; /sd-ext; /data and install new ROM but nothing help me. I don't found nothing about it in Google. Maybe it is hardware problem? Maybe someone have some idies?
I bought another HTC Desire and he work perfect at home and other places. Now I can compare with faulty Desire, but I don't know what more can I do.
Sorry for the English mistakes

[Q] Gingerbread huge battery drain

This seems strange.Yesterday after upgrading to gingerbread ( with the RUU because the OTA didn't work for me) I got a huge battery drain.Over the night I got a loose of 40% and now only 3 hours after unplugged and lost 20%.
I only took a few pictures and a phone call.
Only few apps installed since i got this rom since only yesterday.
Anybody experienced this and is there a fix?
Hello,
I can confirm this.
I have also a high battery drain with ALL Android 2.3.* ROMs.
I use the recommend Radio for each ROM and I've checked the RIL to be sure the Radio is correct. But doesn't matter, current in StandBy is between 30 and 50mA.
Only if I turn off WLAN and Mobile Intenet, then I have normal values between 3 and 5mA.
With FroYo I can leave WLAN and Mobile Internet enabled and I had 3-5mA in StandBy
It could not be an application, because I've tried this with a fresh install without Google account to avoid the installation of external apps.

you'd have to edit the build.prop and change the rescan time from 15 seconds to 30, 60, 90 or 120 (or whatever you perfer the rescan intercal to be at)

Try resetting the battery stats by doing the whole charge, lead out, charge, turn off, charge etc. thing.
Also, whilst not a stock RUU I did find it took a few days for the battery drain to calm down a bit. First instal lowest was around 50mA but adfter a fe days it went down to 4-5mA.

Thank you for your help
What does that value do?
Is that the rescan value of WLAN?
The current stays high even if WLAN is off and mobile internet is on.
Only if both are disabled I get a low StandBy current.

Yes I know this, and I've tried this every time I was flashing a ROM (I mean reset the battery stats)
After a few days? How many days do you mean? 2, 3, 4, 5 days?
@both
But why this problem does not exist on froyo?

Varies but on average I find it takes about 3 days to settle to a point where I see a consistent drain.

Unknown. It's not 100% due to GingerBread as I've only seen a handful of people complain of this issue (relatively speaking). I see more people saying how much better their battery life is after the update than saying it's poorer.
Doesn't help I know but makes me believe that this is maybe a Network / Radio issue in that the new Radio with GB does not play well with the Network. We had this a few times on the HTC Hero.
Ok...i have airplane mode on for about 2 days.in those 2 days i almost didn't use the phone and got only a 7% lose.As soon as i used the camera(recorded around 15 min) it got down to 50% .
I will test it tonight widought airplane mode on and see the resoults.Also wifi seems to a lot of battery in comparance to froyo.

I haven't noticed these problems with CM7. I got 2.5-3 hours per 1% of drain in standby using juice defender.
If you are finding that turning off data etc is fixing the problem use juice defender. Even the free version will help a lot as it will stop your phone using data willynilly and instead turn it to a periodic sync. With the paid version you can have it stop all together during certain periods or increase doing certain periods. Aka stoping at night and extra during busy hours at work.
Should be a good fix, though it is only covering up the underlying problem still.
Can't really recommend the app enough. With it my phone only uses data when I tell it to (like opening facebook app) or periodicaly to sync and check emails etc. I do use the paid version though for the extra features.
totally agree. i have been using juice defender for about a week. its been a big help. just bought the ultimate a few min ago. going to start customizing.
sorry that i dont have any data yet to back up my statement. maybe in a future post.

im using Leedroid 3.0.3 and i dont get any such battery drain..
tbh im getting a better battery life from GB than from froyo..
on standby currentwidget shows me between 4-7ma with wifi on... with a peak once in a while..and i lose abt 1 to 1.5% per hour
with wifi off i get about 3-5ma..
i dont use mobile data much so cant really comment on that..
try calibrating your battery and try changing the scan interval in the build.prop... i normally keep it at 90...
i never used any battery saving apps, so cant comment on their performance either...
go to wifi advanced settings and untick Best Wifi Performance... that also helps a lot!
hope you get your problem sorted
Thank you all for the help
The issue was not with gingerbread...I just left my phone one night with wifi turned on and lost 40%.But still when I was on Froyo wifi wouldn't loose so much battery.Now I loose almost 2-3% every 15 min if surfing the web with wifi.
And about changing the scan interval in the build.prop...How can I do that?Do I need root?
I'm also having battery problems, but mine are a little bit different, if I'm on wifi it uses between 3 to 5% with a peak now and then. if wifi is off and I'm on 3g, it's between 5 and 500 ma and you see only peaks if you check currentwidget. anyone a clue? working on ARHD 5.1.6 now, but problem was there since version 3
I have battery problems also, my battery dries after 1 day of use. For example this morning, I unplugged my phone full from the charger at 10 am. I went into town, listened to about 20 minutes of FM radio. When i stopped the radio, I still had 98% left of the battery. OK so far. After, I talked for about 5 minutes, sent 4 messages and played for about 15 minutes. I arrived home at 2 pm with 75% of battery left. That is 25% in 4 hours.
I was on 3G, but with Mobile network off. BT, WIFI, GPS off. A few days ago, I tried running the Battery Calibration app, but seen no improvements so far. My phone is routed, 2.3.3 and has Android Revolution HD 5.0 RC1 ROM .
I expected the battery not to last for long, but this is ridiculous.
Help me, please!
I don't know if that will help, but I sometimes switch to 2G networks as HSDPA is using quite a lot the battery.
I have a DHD running 2.3.3, and it's definitely the mobile standby bit which is first in the battery use screen (33%). It was true before 2.3xx but now it's a bit more - annoying in other words.
I have to admit, having to switch to 2G networks is a bit of a pain in the *ss, so I'll check if juice defender give me some good results tomorrow and will post a feedback there.
Maybe try AR 5.1.6. + he recommended radio. It works wonders. the battery life is improved a lot...
malik
Juice Defender works very well - with basic settings I still have 35-40% of battery by 7pm.
furstrated with the battery life...
hey guys,
so this is my first post and all i've done up until now was to read... i'm afraid not real solution has come up.
i have:
Leedroid 3.1.2 with the recommended radio and i ran the script for Full Wipe 1.5 and cleared the battery stats, i did a fresh install and then didnt restore from backup - just installed everything from scratch. i hoped it would be ok, but when i woke up to check the current widget log, i saw that in the middle of the night he climbed to 150mA and stayed there draining about a 1% of battery in 3-4 minutes (!!!)
what can i do? 'where is my droid power' shows only HTC Sense at about 3.8%
please please help... thanks!

Horrible Battery Life

hi guys
i have tried various methods and i am using a new battery on rcmix3d on leedroid's kernel.
BT,WIFI is off. Data is on 3g 24 hours.
My battery drains 1% every minute when data is on even though its not polling for any syncing or data.
my sync is set to once a day for emails and manual for the rest.
i have also done a battery calibration and still no joy.
any tips?
Download current widget, and set it to log your current drain while idling. Sense rom should be around 1ma-3ma idle.
thanks..
actually my its ard 1ma to 4ma idle.
this is when juicedefender disables the data.
but the moment data kicks in, its spikes to a max of 280ma and the battery starts draining. i can actually see it dropping per minute. the moment data is off. everything is as per normal.
does 3g really consume that much of batt?
No it doesn't use that much at all. Did u do a full wipe with install of rcmix?
Do you have any apps installed that may drain battery. Try using a task killer to close all apps and see how it goes.
Just to be sure have u tried turning off mobile data and checking battery with it off. The maybe new radio may help
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
other than 2 camera apps,ebay,paypal, foursquare and facebook, i have nothing else.
and notifications has been turned off for all the above.
i tried task killers and they really didnt help much.
i did do a full wipe and battery does last way much longer with data off.
i'm also using the latest m2 radio and underclocked the cpu via setcpu
an advise on which radio would be better?
Go with the radio suggested in the thread for your rom. If none suggested just grab something different to what your using and try it out.
You shouldn't need to UV the CPU. Mine runs at 1.4 no problem. Let me know how I get on.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Just realised your using a new battery too. The have u tried your old one just incase its a battery problem.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
yeah..the old battery was replaced with a new one by HTC service centres.
i was just reading the radio thread and decided to flash the corresponding RIL for my radio.
i'll try that for a day and see how that works out.
thank you so much for your help and i'll keep you posted
you problem is radio related.
flash the suggested radio of your rom.
had the same problem a few days back. 150-250mA idle, when i deactivated my data connection, it went down zo 1-4mA again.
Sent out of my Free Candy Van.
I had the same problem, 4 hours of sleep would sometimes see 20% disappear. New radio and kernel did the trick.

Keep in mind, cell reception is also a varible factors in regards to battery life, but with the situation as precribed it is more than likely to be radio/RIL selection. Also remember that the newest versions of radio and RIL may not always offer the best reception and/or battery efficiency, ideally use the one as recommended by the ROM/Kernel. You may also consider searching the forum for see the recommended versions of radio and RIL to match.
During new flashes of the ROM, under CWM, you can also delete battery stats which should allow a more accurate report of the battery.
Hope it helps.
thanks for all the info guys
i guess its probably a radio/ril issue.
i'm testing out various ones right now.
anyone using rcmix3d 2.0 got a recommendation for radio/ril combo?

[Q] Battery Drain

Hi all,
i'm new with DHD, i flashed Revolution rom and i have high battery drain.
I charged my phone untill current was 0 mA, deleted the battery info and reboot.
So i turned on only data connection and leaved about 8 hours sleeping.. from 10pm to 10am all sync are off.. the result is: -25%!!!
I'm trying to find the batterykillerapp but i can't do it!
If i type the code *#*#4636#*#* i can see only battery info, no battery history, if i try using Spare Parts the app crash
how can i find the app that sucks my battery life?

Go back to the thread and look for the radio recommended for the rom. I'm pretty sure these radios are the main reason for battery drain
OR
What do you mean by battery drain? if it goes down fast when you're using your phone. That's not battery drain at all.
You can also go to OC daemon and set governor to ondemand so that the CPU doesn't stay on higher clocks.
i mean that battery goes down fast when i'm not using the phone! -25% in a night
sleep governor is on conservative and wake governor ondemand

When you enter Recovery , your screen will be black ,that means you don't have a custom recovery installed . You need to have Root & RomManager whit Clockwork Recovery installed in order to wipe battery stats .

Well lithium batteries fell best if the are fully recharged once or twice a month and then charging just whenever you feel like it really! like from 30 to 76 percent. They do not need so much looking after.

What you mean with RIL?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
there is no recommendation for RADIO ... what works for me might just be bad for you!
so - RADIO is the file you flash using ADB , and RIL(radio libraries) is the zip file you flash with CWM just like a ROM .
So search a thread with RADIO and RIL and change it!

I went from Rcmix3D to BlackIce 1.27 (Cm7 based Rom) and my battery sucked. I switched my radio from 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M to 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M that seems to of fixed my battery problems.
Also some things that worked for me:
1) Switching to 2G when not heavily using your phone to increase standby time
2) Use spare parts to switch 'End button behaviour' to 'Go to sleep'.
3) Keep your brightness low/Auto
4) Try a different kernel (LordModUE latest CFS/BFS)
Hope some of these settings help
mad battery drain
I had a similar problem when I first got my DHD there's a bug on one fw that jams the CPU at 100%, the simple fix that worked for me was to turn USB debugging on in the setting/applications/development menu. I think that's the only thing that could explain such mad battery loss, also get urself a system analyser app that shows what ur CPU is doing to c if it is at 100%

You should flash any ROM you like then reboot. don't restore any apps or settings. install current widget and do a log for at least 2 hours. Leave the phone in idle the whole time. Battery drain shouldn't be higher than 10mA. If battery drain is Ok start restoring your apps one by one and find out which causes the battery drain

It drains on a fresh flashed rom , without restoring any apps
maybe try to flash a RUU just to make sure. I know you will lose root permissions but since you have tried different radios, batteries and roms there isnt that much left for you to try. the only things that comes to my mind is a hardware failure. what else could it be!? if you still have guarantee, i would recommend you sending it to reparation.
Well i have ordered a new high capacity (2430 mah) battery and if that does not fix the problem i will just live with it till the new sony xperia s is launched and go and buy that

1) Switching to 2G when not heavily using your phone to increase standby time
2) Use spare parts to switch 'End button behaviour' to 'Go to sleep'.
3) Keep your brightness low/Auto
4) Try a different kernel (LordModUE latest CFS/BFS)

[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 am thinking about changing my radio... doing research n stuff... lets see what happens.
as it would solve the signal issue and battery all together.

i dont get a single percent drain on airplane mode the problem is surely network sucking it down... yesterday it went 100% to 48% in 8 hours in deep sleep n no wakelocks[betterbatterystats] :crying:

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?
Thanks already!

as i mentioned bro the problem is purely regarding the network sucking down the battery my bluetooth gps wfi everything is turned off... i use 2g gsm only... if u put ur cell in airplane mode the battery doesnt goes down by a single percent. its gsm standyby sucking the battery.
and regarding the radio if u do it right and reasearch a little u wont brick it for sure. got my radio from here:http://www.icsforums.com/forum/showthread/26951
downloaded this zip and replaced the radio.img within the zip from above link.

put the file on sd card root
booted in bootloader
that did the job.

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.
