Hi,
Just rooted my DHD few days ago and flashed ARHD 6.3.1 and BlueHD theme and everything works great other then a few dropped calls and a MASSIVE battery drain. Anyone know if there is a way to fix this a bit? Even on standby it drains about 2% every hour.
Thanx

It could be a few things, 1) You didn't wipe properly when installing the rom, could be the source of your dropped calls 2) one application is draining your battery, check in settings - about phone - battery 3) you may need to calibrate your battery, you could check out "current widget" from the market and "batterycalibration".
Also, if you have flashed BlueHD for RCMix Runny 4.x rather than BlueHD for ARHD 6.3.x that could cause major issues.
No I flashed the one for ARHD I'm sure of it. I keep bookmarks about things I install. I'll try those you suggested. Thanx a lot.

I think you should do what everyone else just said, there's probably an app that's draining your battery. Try downloading battery calibration app from the market. It helps. Or use juice defender
Charged and calibrated. Memory usage is ok now (150 before, about 200 free now). Going to see what happens over the night.

Ok so it went a bit better over the night, spent about 7%, but this is with auto sync disabled, bg data disabled, screen dim to 25% etc, so still a huge waste. Just lost 1% typing this. Anyone have any other ideas before I flash ARHD again?

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.

I may be dumb but how do you force your phone to go into sleep once screen is turned off ?

(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
After I installed MIUI-au 0.12.111 R2(first time installing it) I Got really bad Battery life. With the stock rom on my HTC Desire I would go 3 days before charging it(light use), now i can only get 1 day, I have looked around and did everything I could find, I reset the battery stats. made sure I let it die and charged it up fully a few times. I have tried the new version of the Radio and RIL. I have tried setcpu and I can only get 1 day with it. I love miui but I can not keep it with such bad battery life. am I expecting too much from it? or is there something i am missing/ can try?
Thanks
Anyone else have this problem? IT seems to be wasting. Battery while idle

Im currently running the same rom as you... i'll see what battery life is like with mine over time, but so far so good.

What version of the Radio and RIL are you using?
Not flashed RIL as the matching RIL for the recommended Radio (5.09.05.30) is already in the MIUI ROM, stock out of the box.So yes, I am currently using radio 5.09.05.30 (MIUI recommended) which has given me excellent battery life, even with FroYo roms. I have not experienced any Wi-Fi issues either.
EDIT: The information in this link may also interest you as it talks about different radio versions and associated RIL, and the effect they can have on battery life especially: http://www.miui-au.com/faq/radios-radios-radios/
Hope this helps you out.
Thanks I will try downgrading my radio and see what happens.
To further save battery life, i.e. when idle at night, you can also try enabling Airplane mode at night and disable in the morning. There are apps in the marketplace that can do this for you automatically between set periods so you don't have to bother doing it manually.

Thanks for the help, but it still had very poor life about 6% per hr idle so I went back to the stock rom. Is it possible to install app2sd+ on the stock Rom or can you recommend a close to stock Rom with that and maybe a few other small changes?

Hi!
I am running oxygen 2.0 and i know battery is great for some users, so something must be preventing my phone from sleeping. Sis a full wipe when flashing.
Drain is fairly bad with about 5-10% / hour. Wifi enabled. I came from a stock rooted ROM wich had twice the battery usage. Is there any way to tell what processes is preventing sleep?
Thanks!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Anyone? No apps or scripts to fix this? Really annoying. In the Oxygen thread people get 1-2 hour per percent, i cant go under 2%/hour even with just idling.
Trying a new ROM now, so will do another test tomorrow
Make sure your wifi sleep policy is set to never. I've not had any problems with battery usage on Oxygen. I also have the screen brightness very low.

Thanks for the tips. Already set WiFi to never, and i have auto brightness as Adam suggested in the thread. Adjusted it further down even.
What widgets you use?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Try PowerTutor - it helps to define, what app is showing too much activity, when phone sleeps.
Another app is Wheres My Droid Power which tells you what app is using most of you battery!
Widgets: Pure Calendar, Weather widget (with 6 hour update), facebook, power control.
Thanks for the tips! I will be sure to check those out

Refash your rom ( with full wipe!!!!! ) then charge it to full , and calibrate battery
cheers ! (that is if you have rooted your device and stuff)

This is the 10000 post related to battery drain
I know. I had rcmix3d i flashed cm7 android revolution and many more. But the same with all of them. I did full wipe even i wiped my sd card...!

then try ANDROID HD REVOLUTION ( sense 3.0 or 3.5 ) - and CHANGE RADIO and RIL!!!!! or only RIL
p.s : dont OC your CPU!
go go go
What radio do you recommend?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
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%

i listened to music about 15 minutes and used the wifi for about 20 minutes..
I have the same issue with mine , im running latest Android revolution and 1dec radio
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
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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

Hey guys,
I had RCMix S ROM. After battery calibration my phone turned off at 0%.
I installed WildMild based on Oxygen. i successfully completed battery calibration tutorial. (i did that many times cause LEARNF flag didnt popup and phone died). i register 66xa4, 65x06 AND 10x04, age 100% and full40 at 1452mAh. After doing all those steps phone died at 30+%. Also on MildWild MW-2 that i am using now kernel is not supported by Battery Calibrator app (no numbers) and phone still dies at 30+%
Any help?
Thanks

i don't think that my battery suddenly died, i think i mess it up with Battery Calibrator app
My desire is doing the same and its on mildwild 4.7. Might try switching back to the previous version.
It is nearly 2 years old though so maybe its just age?
I have also tried the nexus one battery callibrator but it doesn't seem to take. Still says 100 pc. On reboot. Will let you know how I get on.
Will check the mildwild thread to see if anyone else has the same issue.

Yes I did the same as you, i tried many times and still is not working, the best result which i got was 13% after that the phone dies! However, my question/doubt is: will a new battery fix this issue, will the phone die at 0-1% or I am going to experience the same odd-annoying outcome !? Also, did anyone here succeeded in calibrating their desire using an Oxygen /CM ROM,do we have any signs of hope or we are just waiting our time because personally I did spend a lot o time and many trials until I gave up
Well i buy a new htc stock battery. Problem is that when charging while phone is turned on, battery goes 100+% with red led, (see attachment). Do i need to calibrate it? Phone dies at 0%.
