I'm wondering if anybody can help me with this!
I have a HTC Desire HD smartphone, I haven't had it long but I've noticed a significant drain in my battery life! I have tried a certain app on the Play Store to Calibrate my Battery but I don't think that's worked very well! I don't want to flash any custom rom's or anything like that I just want help with how to get a good battery life! My battery lasts about 8 hours with not much use, and I've tried battery saver's but they're not much good! I don't think I need to buy a new battery but if I need to then I will but if I can help it then I won't! I know this is off the topic but I have a HTC Buzz: Wildfire too and I rooted and flashed CyanogenMod 7 on it too and the battery life was crap on that but I don't need help with that phone mode it's just the HTC Desire HD I need help with, so yeah can anybody help me with this problem? It would be great if you could!:good: :highfive:
Yours Sincerely,

Read up on the Better Battery Stats app and figure out if anything is causing wakelocks.
Well, if you are on stock rom 2.3.5 then it could be a hardware problem but first try a new battery!!
install a app called "current widget" from playstore
and check how much mAh you are getting, If more than 800+ means charger is Good...
and secondly u can giv a try to custom kernels, there are many out there with a better battery life and battery saving governor like smartass v2 etc

Need some help here..
I have rooted desire with latest lee's rom (thank's lee, you have my gratitude), installed with setcpu, also juice defender, and have done battery calibration (can't post a link since i'm a junior member).
Fyi, i'm a heavy user, got my gmail, twitdroyd, facebook, and instant messaging sync everytime, frequently playing with internet based games, surfing a lot, and have my based network on 2G and my brightness turn to 10%.
Is anyone here having similar problems like me and have passed the situation? sorry that my english isn't good
Thanks bfore..
I don't understand your question - problems similar to you - like what ? you didn't write what your problem is ?

if its about battery life, i am just as heavy user as you, i can get 8-12 hours out of my battery usually, you can get batterys for as cheap as $10 on ebay, just buy a couple and a dual charge dock (that can charge a battery that isnt in your phone) and your battery problems are gone
In u'r case, no doubt you will have very short battery life
Come on Indonesia, be realistic lah..

try a few different radios - I've seen my battery life double using some of the newer radios.
you can check them out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464
start with the most recent and work your way down the list.
Yes it's about battery life that last about 6 hours, and using the latest radio. R u folks have tried calibrating the battery? I want to know the method, cause it seems wiping the battery stats have no impact to my battery life..thanks

Hey Guys,
I've been trying out many roms in the last time and I've noticed that on every Gingerbread rom, the battery drain is much higher than on Froyo roms. That's weird, because I constantly hear of people's battery life getting better after switching to Gingerbread.
On Froyo, the standby consumption is at 5 mA. On Gingerbread it's 75 mA. On Froyo, I can surf the internet for 10 minutes and nothing changes, on Gingerbread the battery would lose 5%. With regular use, when the phone is full in the morning, it's almost every day empty 8 hours later.
I just want to have a Gingerbread Wildfire with decent battery life. I tried many roms, and even on CM7, battery life is horrible. Even on a clean install without any apps. What is going on there? Is it maybe the radio? Or the kernel? Do you experience similar drain?
Maybe CPU?
I dont know if this will help but Gingerbread roms often have overclock settings, have you used the overclock feature because this would most definatly reduce your battery life but otherwise im not too sure but i must say i was using Oxygen (Gingerbread) on my wildfire and the battery life was very bad compared to stock ruu roms, sorry if i didnt help :S
Any idea? Im about to upgrade to the gingerbread.

I know about that, but I don't overclocked my Wildfire. Just because the battery drain is heavy enough on regular CPU speed.

Just upgrade and see yourself, I heard about many Wildfire users with Gingerbread who got better battery performance than on Froyo. Unfortunately, I ain't one of these
After a new flash it's usual to have battery drain. After a few charges it will buff out.

underclocking ur cpu is a propable way to go. actually using conservative governor in cpu settings, may help your battery efficiency. but before doing this, search for a thread concerning this matter. u can always give it a shot and see for yourself, decide later if you want to keep gingerbread or not.
I have the original Desire battery and it is draning very fast. I just listem an hour a day music, play about 10 minutes..and then the battery's dying. Suggestions?
My desire is rooted, S-OFFed, using MildWild CM7, Auto-Brightness.
Probably just the old battery is dead.
Buy a new one.
Same Problem with battery
I was wondering if this could be the result of a bad kernel or radio? If so, can someone suggest the best kernel or radio to use with the GSM desire with the Telus network?
No kernel or radio is SO bad. You may need to calibrate your battery (look for the how to with the Nexus One Battery Calibrator app) or you may need to replace your battery.
I had this same problem, I took the phone back to the Orange shop and they gave me a new one and it was better. Think I was on cm7.1 at the time. I did a full wipe as well after a couple of days and only reinstalled the apps I actually used and it got even better, so may have been a rogue app in there as well. Have you installed anything recently?

You can use an app to measure power usage, so you can see which app uses a lot of power. Or something like quick info to see what apps uses a lot of cpu.
I'm currently on TeamNVDRU CM10 Nightly from the 1st. Battery is at 34% after 9 hrs off charge and 1hr 6min screen on time.
I have tried all underclock, undervolt, battery life tips i can find and the best i can get is about 14hrs on this rom.
I even asked HTC for the price to install the 2100mAH battery in the phone... they came back with $160 which for a 15% boost isn't worth it.
Therefore I am asking the community, which is the best rom for battery life? Sense roms and stock included.
I'm also wondering if there is an app that can collect battery life stats and post them to the web, sort of like antutu but for battery instead of 3d performance. Does such a thing exist? It would be useful for this phone.
My usage profile:
Listening to music ~45 mins each way from work
Gmail push for priority inbox
Microsoft Exchange sync once a day while on charger
Talkbox for communicating with workmates
Viber for texting/calling my girlfriend
Facebook push disabled, notifications disabled
Underclock to 1200, Undervolt -125
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Its well known that AOSP roms' battery is generally lower than sense roms...so if u want a proper battery life...try one of the sense roms...hasnt disappointed me...nearly same set of requirements for me and it has not failed..!! I am using AHRD which is quite good..also try ViperX roms...read a lot about it being real good..!! but havent had the time to try it out myself..!! but generally ARHD or ViperX can help u with ur usage...give them a try and try for like ~1week b4 u come to a conclusion...What i do is to wipe out battery stats when i install a new rom so that the battery is calibrated with the new rom..!!
Hope it helps..!!

I know people still do it but wiping batt stats its pointless. It's been proven it has zero effect

use Blade rom with no-frils app and set cpu to 860 , lasts for one and a half day with regular usage ......
Honestly ?? Stock rom got best battery life. I used Renovate and ARHD, they don't reach even a half of stock lifetime.
I am on TripNDroids releases now for a time (since 017 I guess) and I must say, the battery life is fair. I use my phone often for WhatsApp and surfing/playing around and one battery charge lasts for one day. Although I have set the screen brightness almost to the minimum.
I've tried a few ROMs, but it's the kernels that are making the difference for me, i'd try viperx with faux ultimate kernel if you want good battery life.
And do try repacking the kernel boot.img with the one from the ROM using the repacking tool on the dev section.
I have the desire for a long time and my battery never had problems now i have MIUI and this never happened before my battery after 5 min of using the phone goes from 100% to 0% :crying:
How old is your battery? It's probably related to battery aging. Are you able to try another battery?

maybe you should try a different rom if that particular one is causing problems
although a complete battery drain in 5 minutes does not sound like a rom issue... sounds like a battery issue
i installed a new rom same problem its the battery im gonna buy a new one -.- thank u
