So, I have had a serious battery drainage problem, like most of hd2 users with wp7.
My battery usualy run max. 24h!
Now my phone run 2-3 days without charging.
I have just turned off connection with xbox live
So, go to the settings -> applications -> games, and turn off "Connect to Xbox Live"
I have 3G off
Data connection on (but mailbox, shares, weather ect. is updated manualy)
I hope this will help you...
Interesting will give it a go..... I have to say I beleive this and other 'solutions' may be solving part of the sympton and not the root cause BUT if it helps that's always good news until the chefs can get to the bottom of it!!
Thanks will let you know.
Cool cool
I already did this now.
Will also check it, and provide feedback.
Battery life is a bit of a problem, but atleast i have a car charger
I will give it a try.
3G on
Data connection on
its work this solution ?
I think it should work. I checked battery dainage with Xbox on right after turning phone on after sleep - about - 42 mA. So without use of the phone max time is less than 30 hours. But if Xbox is OFF current is just 5-7 mA. Means 6 times less on stanby!!! Will give it real timing try. Used Battery tool to measure current.
hello
did not work for me
It doesn't work in real life. After start some apps and close it current returned to 42 ma forever.No more 5-7 ma. Only turning on Airplane mode gives 2-3ma standby. So all bad battery life comes somehow from radio is too active.
Hello all.
I hear that if u change the radio version to a down one you have more battary life ..is it true ? there is anyone that tried that?

From my experience (only 3 days rooted LOL) you have to find radio that works best with your carrier. Better reception will stop phone trying to find masts, hence improving battery.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I don't see any problem with battery draining. If it gets you over the day, what do you need more. Over night you plug it in.
I have all switched on (location too) and no problem with music maybe 1h, reading mails, checking facebook several times surfing internet and news. I would even say its better than WM 6.5 doing the same, at least the same.
I think battery draining is not hd2 problem wp7 is the problem
the real solution for batery is - turn on 3G
try
batery life is 2 days with many calls, play and others.
22.03 - 10:00 am - charget
24.03 - 12:00 pm - charget agaen 50 hours
this is experience of one my friend and works,
I didnt try becouse I wait new rom
I apologize for the low level on my english

I know this looks unbelievable, but I noticed this before... Although I thought it is not possible and that I am crazy.... but after switching back to 3G, my battery lasts half day longer.... Why? Don't have a clue, it defies common sense, but it is like that...

It is definitely problem, comparing with all android ports where battery life is x2 more longer than in this "simplified" WP7!! Battery is dead in a half day in a standby is normal for you?
I solved my battery calibration issue by installing HTC battery tool, it fixes the calibration of battery so correct full charge is 100% and correct no charge is 0%. Give this a try, I am sorry I cannot post the link but I found this app on XDA too.

Is this what everyone else is getting? I am running DCD's latest Rom and Radio.
I used to get two days, now i may get one. This is with no GPS running or any programs. Or making any calls.
Any advice?
Rephrase then.
How much battery life is everyone getting on the new Rom?
Are you sure your wi-fi switch is OFF?

"These are some factors that could cause your battery to drain fast"
The brightness of the screen is a factor. Try lowering it if possible.
Disable active sync, bluetooth, wifi, and beam when not needed.
Using the GPS drains the battery quick. ( results vary )
Push email also assists with battery drain.
Put your phone on standby when not in use.
Also the extensive use of PIE and Windows Media Player also assists with the drain of battery.
Last if you have poor signal strength this can also be a factor for battery drainage.
There are others out there but these are some that I encountered and learned live with.
There is a battery hack out there that can help you with your battery life. I don't know from the top of my head but search for a registry battery hack.

all those are try but when you first got your phone did you charge it all the way before using it cuz messes up the battery i know it did for me
Follow up.
On my original Rom I could get 48 hours on a charge.
Today I got 8 hours. I did not use GPS, I am not using vibrate for calls. I only got two calls. And two emails.
Basically I am using the same settings as I had on the original Rom and getting about 24 hours less battery life.
I guess I'll switch back and report then.
Perhaps this might be it?

DAMN.. that would explain alot.. I have a feeling its the same bug with the titans..
I dunno... I've been through the progression from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0 to 2.2.0 to 2.3.2 and I haven't seen anything like this.
I use the phone for about 10 minutes a day, so not much call time, but I have it checking 4 IMAP accounts every 15 minutes, do about an hour of web browsing, and use the GPS two to three times a day (basically any time I drive anywhere cuz it's fun!) and the most my battery has drained is down to 70% after about 16 hours.
Just to give an alternate view... battery life has been very good for me.

No. When I first got my phone I installed on the apps I researched before buying the phone, configured my WiFi, and imported my playlists from Windows Media and then I charged my phone with the AC adapter.
I use alot of WiFi through out the day along with Stereo Bluetooth Headphones to listen to music one Windows Media Player and I have a very good battery life.
Follow up.
My email server locked up this morning and my activesync wouldn't sync.
BUT my battery life was back to it's old self, used 6% in 4 hours. Very Happy!
Email server is now working and Active synce is syncing.
When I check the activesync program it always says connected now. Is that normal? It doesn't seem like it used to say connected all of the time.
It does look like activesynce may be the problem. The setting are the same as they were before the flash.
Any info would be appreciated.
Update: In case anybody is following this.
I went back to stock ROM and Radio.
Battery behavior is back to Normal. I am going to reflash to GPS Rom and see if that was the problem.

I an confirm this too. A few days ago I noticed excessive battery drain and reset my phone, and put it out of my mind. The only later ROM that I'd retained for days at a time has been 2.3.1 and today my battery level feel down by 50% in ~6 hours of standby. With the power on, with 46% remaining, the OS estimation for usage was 26 minutes. In 1% increments I could see it counting down....
I checked all running processes and nothing was out of the ordinary and nothing except that running task manager was bothering the CPU.
On a reset it appears fine.. Disconcerting. My phone didn't demonstrate this behaviour with the DCD 2.1 and previous ROMs. I don't know if to go back to 2.1 or 1.6.10. I'll see if this issue shows up again over the next few days.
That was the same problem I had.
Hopefully I'll dp some more testing this weekend.
After a reset the draining was repeating for me.. I decided to revert back to a working DCD 2.1 set-up and all appears fine again.
2.3.1 ROM was a kitchen build including the transcriber and no2chem's nueLED v1.5. That's all that I can think of being out of the ordinary.
I thought I am the only way with this problem. I thought it just a bad battery. Using DCD 2.31. Before 2.31, battery is about 90% on casual used when I left work. With 2.31, it becomes 95% after it pull from the power plug. Browser the web for like 10 minutes, it goes down to like 92%. By the time I finished work, and get back home around 7, it left with like 30%. That's on casual use.
Anyone tried reflashing to see if that helps the battery consumption?
It seems like this is not common, but effects a few of us.

I am also noticing the same effects, i was thinking bout reflashing my rom, i am currently running dcd's 2.3.2
Flashed back to stock and then back to 2.3.2
It looks like I am seeing the same battery drain again!! ARGH!!!
My battery is dropping like crazy too since the latest kitchen. When I first went to DCD's first WM 6.1 ROM I was blown away by the battery life. Same settings , same apps, different ROM and the battery life blows.
I decided to wait it out for a week and see if the new ROM comes out, if not I'm going back to the WM6.1 ROM that I first tried.
Hey guys,
what rom have the best battery life?
any fav?
and
are there any tricks or tipps to improve the battery life?

Yes... none of the 2.1 ROMs currently provide long battery life times. I believe that one of the chefs said it was because of the kernel and that it won't be fixed until HTC releases or leaks an official Hero kernel for Android 2.1.
However it also depends on what you think would be a good/adequate battery life.
Personally I charge every night so as long as the phone lasts circa 24 hours it is fine with me.
All 1.5 based roms should give you battery life over 24 hours even with everything turned on.
as for tips:
-turn of wifi when not using it
-turn of mobile internet when not using it
-turn of gps
-always put phone in sleep mode (end button) when not using it
- screen time out turned low
- backlight on low
- kill tasks that run in background
- don't have a bright wallpaper
Just depends how extreme you want to go
I have a decent battery life on the rom I am on (see sig) and I use a brightish wallpaper and auto backlight but always turn wifi off when out of the house.
Flashing a new radio file can also help battery life.
Edit: with a bit of use I have lost 5% in the last 8 hours on my phone today
Mhm too bad i like to use 2.1
Does 2.1 Roms drain the battery so much more?
Battery life is very important for me...
I am running the original Rom and i had to charge my hero every night, too.
But one day is okay...
Thank you for your tipps (bright wallpapers *lol*, but it make sense^^)
So what are you fav. 1.5 roms?

P.s. Does HTC want to upgrade the hero to 2.1 ??? Would be awesome...any dates?

indication is yes they are updating to 2.1 however they have not released any official confirmation of when.

SenseHero 1.6 is awesome 1.5 ROM
Also it uses a nice theme, and can last for more than a day

To me BeHero has the best battery life of the 2.1 roms and Villain had the worst (the life would literally go from 100% to 50% in 4hrs and I barely touched the phone).

I put on 3.4 yesterday and ya my battery life was terrible. The only thing is that I hadn't ever updated my radio. Now instead of it being dead within 4-5 hours I've gone over a dozen and my battery is down to 45%, which is pretty good for me. I'm a pretty data intensive with my phone.
if you want to test the battery life, test it 2 days or more!, because the first day every rom(almost..) is draining fast, because then it needs to set up everything etc(idk excactly why)

Wow I find it very hard to believe that you only lost 5% battery in the last 8 hours with little use...do you have mobile data on or off?
Even with no use at all I can never get 5% decrease in 8 hours, regardless of whether its a 1.5 or 2.1 ROM. I keep my mobile data on all day and night and with no use at all i lose like 20% battery life in 4 hours.
If you want 2.1 firmware with good battery life, go foe BeHero_v1.3.2, I am using it without any trouble!

Trust me I was not lying I have no reason too.
Will report on what it does today.
Yesterday I had mobile internet mainly off but turned it off at certain times of the day.
So far today (3 hours since fully charged)
-wifi for about an hour
-use wifi things during that time (seesmic and News Rob mainly)
- bluetooth for 45 mins (journey to work)
- mobile internet for about 40 mins
- downloaded an app and tested it (used barcode scanner to scan a barcode (twice) and go to the download link)
- synced emails
- sent a text
- mobile internet now off and back asleep
And a reboot as my connection was lost for some strange reason
lost 2%

i can only say that perhaps ur battery is a special one..
i cant even get half of that with 1.5 rom (with the same usage)..i will surely lost like 10% with that kinda usage on phone..
no offense..but..unbelievable...
my current setting :
GPS , WIFI & Bluetooth off..
brightness around 15%
dark wallpaper..
mobile internet on when browsing needed
@aziz831
Lennyuk´s battery consumption is real. My battery would last 216 hours just in idle. But that would mean just asleep and waiting for a call.
I use WiFi 18/7, I have in that time mobile data enabled, I have a brown wallpaper and my backlight is on lowest level (but I can still see everything). My average loss is 1-1,5 % a hour if I´m in idle with all this enabled. Over night I do disable WiFi and auto sync, that saves a lot of power.
My average time of usage with one load is about 80-96 hours.
I figured I'd make this its own thread after speaking with several people with the same problems using a CMOD 5.0.5.3+ rom. This wasn't a problem in lower editions from what I can remember in testing.
Idk but I believe it is something in the kernel affecting this problem with the display hogging my battery. Even after flashing an undervolted kernel I still can only last 24 hours with an extended life battery, vs a weeks time before. And the display problem has been like this in all CMODS test .6 Roms as well so idk if it is in the process of getting fixed or simply overlooked. And other Rome work well but are slower it seams.
The display settings doesn't matter auto or manual its about the same. So devs what can we do to find the change or what can I do to help?

I'm running test 3 of 5.0.6. Today i read a book with fbreader for around 2hrs on it whilst on the train, had 2 30 minute phone conversations, around 20 texts, a dozen gtalk messages, and played blackjack for about 20 mins. i'm also using pershoots OCUV kernal, and after 11hrs without being plugged in I am at 75% battery. I'm happy with that.
I think it is a work in progress, as each new build comes out it's better. His testing builds are just that - testing. None of his release builds I have ever had an issue with either, although maybe my phone ue is a lot less than others I dunno. All i can say is i've never been tempted with another rom since early days on my magic phone Cyanogen rocks!

Nope, I have it on auto-detect, so quite bright when on the train and outdoors. I have setCPU (market, paid) running and set battery profiles - although I haven't hit them yet. I have it set to max 1.1ghz 100% to 50%, 998mhz from 50% to 40%, 776mhz from 40% to 30%, and under 30% to 500 and something.
I do use an app called autostarts (market, paid) and have set everything but system services/apps to not run on any kind of state change or startup. I use Advanced Task Killer to kill apps as soon as I finish with them.
But i've had all these for ages, I just think a big improvement on the last release test 3
Nandroid your existing and try out test3.
I've been experiencing the same symptoms with my battery usage generally dominated by the display. I'm using a UV kernel currently (intersectravens) so we will see if the same happens.
KingKlicks's DESIRE rom doesnt have the same problem it seems and the battery usage is much better.
Wondering if there is a underlying issue.
after .6 test 3 the battery has improved decently, still the display is hogging battery life more so than in the sense rom
Same thing here... Display totally kills the battery with CM5.0.5.3 and OC/UV kernel. Phone rarely lasts over a day with moderate to low usage...
Without usage I can barely get a days use :s
I get the impression that its not the display. I can have 50% display usage, sleep my phone while playing a MP3 and then have more than 50% usage... suggesting that its either he display+something in one category , or there is a bug.
The stock ROM always showed display at the highest usage also. I'm not saying that there isn't an issue, but remember that those numbers are all relative.
I'll say this: I charge nightly to prevent my battery "deep cycling"....That being said I un-plug at 8am and plug-in at about 11p-12a, I use my phone a TON.....usually when I plug in I have about 45-55%.....Not bad at all.....
I originally thought display being the main battery hog was a bad thing.....Then I thought about it a bit......
Would you rather the "system" use more batt? Cell Stand by?
Display (by all rights) should use most battery. More usage=Less time with a fully charged battery.....
Im using CM 5.0.5.3 and I switched Roms after using the stock for 3 months. As soon as I moved to CM I immediatly noticed the battery life was lower than before. I hope you find an issue to this problem ASAP.......I love your ROMs CM, but I love my battery life even more
Good luck with this !!
"display" = gpu acceleration and actual amoled power
Something else i just noticed, very odd. I had 41% display and 23% spotify.... i had been playing for music for a while (offline only). When i quit the spotify app... the entry from the battery usage vanished and display took a spike to 65% ish... really odd. Almost display is showing usage for a group of things.
What? How ? I get 6 hours maybe 7 if I'm lucky out of my battery.... even b4 my nexus was rooted ... how r u guys gettin 24

Ignore any figures people quote - battery life is always relative. One persons 'usual' usage is different than yours. A friend of mine brings his N1 to works and it sits on his desk syncing email - he gets 1 full day.
I bring mine, sync 2 accounts, play a lot of podcasts, have a RSS syncer going and use twitter and FB loads, i get a LOT less.
Dont worry to much, your usage figures are pretty normal depending on your usage patterns.
They say your mileage may vary for a reason
Battery Life
My Battery life has always sucked. Maybe I should buy a new Battery?
If I take my phone off the charger at 7:30, and don't plug it in all day, then I will be at about 30% or less by the time I get home at around 5:30. Unless I don't use it. But I use my phone to play stream music pretty much all day. Or at least 4 hours. One day I forgot my USB cable and I was below 20% by 3:00.
It is still better than iSuck, I mean iPhone, and worse than a BlackBerry. I have electricity everywhere though, a car charger, and an extra battery is like 25$?
So what is the big deal? You have the equivalent of a desktop computer from like 2002 in your pocked running off of a batter the size of a credit card, how long do you really want the thing to last anyway?
Hi All
Been searching but cant seem to find anything.
Since forcing the update via zune i have found the battery life to be appalling. Doesnt even last a day without charging. Im using the same apps and same or less usage.
Befor the mango update (nodo) I was getting nearly two days before completly draining the battery...now i will be lucky to get 9 hours!
anyone else experience such issues...seriously thinking of going back to no do.

I have been beta user of Mango and recently updated to Mango.. and no I dont have that problem. Mine works same as earlier.
In my Mozart, mango drain battery much more then pre-NODO version even with sync set to manual, data connection off, wifi off, 3g off, location off, BT off and it drains more then 5% per 5hours during my sleep pre-nodo almost nothing.
well ive tried setting the sync to every 15mins as oppossed to as it arrives..so lets see if that helps...but it definately drains more than nodo on the same settings....i wonder if more is going on in the background than we can see...
I have the same issue- my first charge lasted 11 hours and i was sleeping for 7 of those hours...
well so far ive been going for 6hours and its on 70% so hopefully the sync timing may have resolved the issue somewhat...its saying 10hrs or so left...so thats a bit better than what has been doing since the update.
Charging my Mozart direct to a power point takes a shorter time to charge than charging through USB
As long as im not playing games all day my mozart seems to last all day if i charge it from about 12am till 7am when i get up for work.
can't say i've got this issue, i've updated to official Mango RTM and i find the battery is about the same. Wifi on all day, one push email account and about 1 hour worth of phone calls, some internet browsing, it's still over 50%
well i think the sync issue sorted it. after setting it to check every 15mins it held its charge all day. disconnected it at 8.30am and come 9pm it still said it had 50% battery left.
so all in all much better than the past few days where it would go into battery save mode by 5pm.
I made hard reset on Mango and after that I feel battery life is a little better.
Battery is steal strong !
for me the bigest battery consumer is data connection, when I turn it off battery live is a little bit better
based on my experience, my battery was definitely longer after the mango update. with nodo my battery cant last that long.
I just flashed to nhathoa's 5.01 ROM.
This is a problem I faced even before the ROM flash. Whenever I power down the device and connect it to the USB to charge, the device will wake up by itself. It seems there is no way to charge the battery while power is off
well ive been running the phone now for a few days using the new setting and all seems to be well...i can get away without charging my phone for 24hrs if need be so thats much better than the original 8hrs or so.
Maybe I mean...
GPS is allways on ...radio driver bug
SPL issue ?
is turning the battery saver always on bad for the phone? other than of course no push etc. i am just wondering if it will have an adverse effect on your battery if i always want to squeeze every drop of my battery.
I have tried many different ROMs and I am supposed to say, that it is different with every ROM... Finally I bought Mugen Power battery 1800 mAh. Standard battery wasn't able to last one day (12 hours). Now it is OK
Another thing... This ROM helped with battery... After flashing it, I have a longer battery life...

Hello everyone,
As so many peoples, my elephone p9000 is in low battery state in one day or less :crying:
I don't know why, so i will give you 2 examples.
On last saturday, my battery was charged to 74%, i have turned it off during the night.
I Turned on in the morning (6 AM), disabled data and wifi, i setted the luminosity as lower than acceptable and idled it.
I was at Disneyland park and i used it 3-4 times to take photos, recorded 1 video, checked the waiting time of the attractions (data enabled and turned off after); no phone calls, played 5mn at a game and at 3 PM : No more battery . I was so disappointed !!
Yesterday, same actions before to go to the bed (disabled data and wifi, i setted the luminosity as lower than acceptable , turned on power saving mode and idled it), battery state : 63% ; at 6 AM : 42%.
This is not acceptable, so what can i do ??? Can someone help me please ?
Regards.
Disable fingerprint and check again
Hi, thanks for your answer ; i check in parameters/security/fingerprint and i don't set it ; only smartlock.
How can i disable it definitively ?
I'm on android 6.0, build ELEPHONE_P9000_20170112.
Regards.
Are you using it at the moment?

its normal for the device be low on battery in less than a day.. as do all devices, usually it lasts around 5 hours under moderate use, time can change, depending on what apps are installed, and which rom is installed and how it controls deepsleep... What i think you should do is, get a nice powerbank and take it with you, or for example, when i go to achool, i leave home with my phone at 100% at around 6:40am, then i arrive home at around 1:40pm, i have around 40% left, which then i use my 1:30hour to charge it up, the thing ive seen is that i need at least 2 charges every day, its not bad, since i dont mind it.. And also, all of this was under moderate brightness, wifi when available and 4G, i however rarily use the camera since its really crappy imo... Such a crap, that ill be getting the s8+ instead..
If you cant charge it, just buy the powerbank and charge it when needed, if you want to know i currently use a 10000mAh powerbank and it can charge my phone at +~ 3 times

I Ruben, thanks for the advices but,I'm don't agree with you on all, my wife have a ASUS Zenfone 3, she use it much more than me (wifi, FB, emails, phone calls etc...) and her battery state is no comparatable of mine.

So that is not a problem and that's is why FP menu option is not shown on the settings.
Try disabling wifi scan, wifi location and check your apps.
I also have an Automate (app) flow for changing ton 2g when screen off.
I'm on Nougat official and battery lasts two days for me
