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)
What ROM do you use?
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...!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
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?

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%

My cpu is running just fine. I set it to 400mhz max and the battery drain was the same... I flashed new radio and ril and still the same problem..

someone check this log file taken from current widget.....-.- (THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS BETWEEN 50% AND 15)
the phone was locked and stanby and i lost 35%battery in 30 minutes!
i fully charged calibrated the battery all night and by the noon all the battery gone...
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

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
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
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 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.

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.

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?

The new telus radio, it's great.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Download Android System Info from the Market. Look out for anything that is using an excessive amount of processing power.
After that, you can see if it is the radio.

hi there
i will try the telus radio soon after trying out the one recommended by the rom dev.
what am i supposed to be looking for in android system info?
batt stats bring me to the default batt stats that is in the android system
Hi wildfire users,
my girlfriend got her wildfire yesterday.
The first thing I've fine, was to root it and check the standby battery drain.
It was between 27 and 50ma in AIRPLANE mode, without sometimes at 120??
My device got 1-2 in airplane and 3-5 without.
Thought it would getting better after flashing cm7, took the rc1...not really.
Any suggestions? Iam an experienced android user, but my options are running out, what else I can do.
What I've done:
Checked drain with current widget,
checked partial wakelocks with spare parts-seems okay.
Uninstalled all custom user apps I had installed.
Read here, that reflashing the radio fixes some issues...didn't tried that yet.
Any other ideas?
What drainages do you've got?
Waiting for your answers.
Edit: perhaps it will help to let it charge it to 100% and check again...maybe let it also discharge one time ^^.¿?
....think i was perhaps a bit over motivated...

Battety drain will be above normal just after flashing a ROM. You need to make a full charge and then go to recovery and wipe the battery status.
Then do few complete charge-discharge cycles. Then it will be definitely better than stock rom. And use CPU settings in smart way. Work on the minimum setting and governor. Also depends on other factors like live wallpapers etc..,

How does calibration the battery prevent from it from draining faster ?.
Suggest some thing that makes sense.

Battery calibration gives accurate reading only, it will not improve the weared out battery.
When shifting between roms, the battery will not give accurate reading because not all roms utilize the battery in the same manner (Rom saves the details in batterystats.bin file). So, what if it gives wrong reading. There might be a possibility that it shows 100% even when not fully charged. So we think battery drains faster, but the fact is we haven't charged it fully. (correct me for any errors).
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Yes showing 100% wrongly must be the only situation where battery calibration be blamed. But 8-10 hrs of charging from deep-down-zero should definitely make it full, right ?
Whats your general time taken for charging in standby mode (WiFi, Mobile Data, Bluetooth Off).
I am experiencing heavy battery drain with WiFi, since I installed Sunabh ROM. (He adds a switch off wifi notification to hide this fault. Cunning.)
Any solutions ? May be re-flash the radio or change the kernel ?
Dude, attack the CID bug.
I resolved my issue without even switching of my phone once, let alone flashing anything.
Running for more than 2 days now. \m/
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
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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?

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
Did u use the nexus one battery calibrator app? That rom and kernel should be ok to do it on

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%.
