Hi everyone, I'm new to the whole Android rom scene, coming from Windows Mobile. A couple days ago I rooted my Telus GSM Hero and installed SenseHero, and while I like the rom it seems to be using a lot of battery, even just on standby and with SetCPU underclocking it to 160 max/122 min on the "screen off" profile. I'm wondering if updating the radio could fix this, and if it had any possible drawbacks. Currently the radio is 63.18.55.06eu_6.35.06.18 and from some other threads I've seen recommendations to use the latest radio from here. Is there anything I should watch out for? Also, does anyone have any other ideas on what could improve the battery life? Thanks.

Yes it can and probably will improve your battery life. I'm 90% you're going to have a painfree installation and there is no drawbacks. You should look out for something too: An unsuccessfull installation of a radio = brick and sadface xD so DO NOT pull the battery under installation and have plenty of battery on and you'll do fine

That's what I've heard and why I want to get as much information before flashing the radio as possible to makes sure everything goes smoothly. Do I just flash the radio like any other zip file or is there any special preparation or anything else I need to know about the flashing procedure?

I just did this for the first time a week ago. Just make sure you have the right radio (GSM) and fully charge your phone before hand to be safe
I followed btdag's guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253

Yep just flash But remember your phone will reboot to install the image so just let it do it's thing until it goes back into recovery or it boots (I don't remember what it does when it's finished).
Also I've flashed lots of radios and nothing has ever happened to me
I just flashed the new radio without any problems. Thanks for the help and moral support

Hello XDA.
I'm considering to flash a custom rom on my htc hero. I'm wondering which custom rom does have the best battery life, which would you recommend?
I would like a rom that can last a day, so that i only have to charge over night?
By the way, how do i find out if i have the gsm or cdma edition?

If you live in the us you have the cdma. Every other place in the world use gsm.

Battery life has more to do with how you use the phone rather than the rom, most are similarly optimised now.
It nice to hear. How much battery time do you get?
Which ROM would you recommend? Been Thinking of installing beHero.

Personally i get between 1-4 days on a standard battery depending on how I use the phone, and I get between 4-10 days on my extra life battery (3000 mah).
I use VillainROM and am currently on 5.2, but 5.3 is out in about 30 mins or so. I have heard good things about many of the roms, check out their features and see which you prefer.

Not necessarily! The US does use GSM as well as CDMA - it just uses a different set of frequencies. A Telus Hero is a GSM Hero and will work on AT&T in the US.

It can brick your phone, however as long as you don't flash a GSM radio on a CDMA hero or visa versa (assuming they have cdma radios?) you are fairly safe. Also don't pull the battery out whilst its happening. Just be patient, it can take a while for some people apparently (10 mins or more), though it takes about a minute on mine.
All the radio does it let your phone know where signal towers are, from what I gather. Though people often talk about some radio's working better with certain rom's and they apparently affect battery life - i'm not entirely convinced.
Okay. Could it have any effect on my signal strengh? Are you using the laste radio rom?
Thanks for the help and guides. Now i've got it all up and running Has been a greate help, and i'm really looking forward to use android 2.1 Will see if i change back to HTC when they can get their act together and release the 2.1 update for android

Yes I'm on the latest radio. I noticed a difference, before i only ever got 2 bars of signal max, now it ranges from 0 to full.
If you continue with the 2.1 custom roms when the devs get the new kernal i'm sure there will be some nice features.

just a last question. When you get 1-4 days on the standard battery, do you turn it off at night? And how much do you use it during the day, for texting, calling, internet and so on?

Stays on at night, for my alarm in the morning. I use it for calls for approximately 30-60 minutes every couple of days. Send about 10-20 texts a day. Usually check for updates to apps on a daily basis, as well as twitter updates and some browsing of the net when i'm away from computer. Not heavy use really.
Just make sure you turn stuff off when you're not using it - i.e. wifi, 3g, bluetooth, sync, backlight, etc (there is a power control widget for most of these, and a 3g widget separate)
Mine might get 3 days with moderate-low usage.I have Villain Rom 5.3 and of course i keep closed bluetooth,wifi,gps,3g when i don't use them.Also i have Advanced Task Manager to kill all apps that might run on the background when i don't need them.
I found a way to make the SOD never happen on the SD card method type builds. Just play music and put it on repeat and turn the media volume all the way down. You will still have your notifications volume and system volume. Yes I know that the batter may die quicker but! This is a solution that works as of now! .

Your funny...
Lol then you will get 100 ma at standby because your device is not even sleeping, that's why it will fix the sleep of death because it only screen off but no sleep
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
out with the old sleep of death
introducing the new and improved induced comatose
Thanks for your suggestion, but to me this sounds more like a Death by Sleep deprivation ... which will put the battery under stress and will reduce its life tremendously. And I do not mean just the life endurance between recharges, but the overall number of recharges. Basically you will kill your battery, and if I were you I would not do it ..
by far the best solution i've read (and used) is upgrading the radio. i had a 2.08 and i upgraded it to 2.15. never had freezes or sods after that.

Does upgrading the radio require any flashing or upgrading ROM? what are the risks?
soak your device in redbull for 2 minutes, that will get rid of SOD

It will only upgrade the radio. I'm not sure of the risks, not anything I'd be afraid..
I found that upgrading my radio from 2.10 to 2.15 solved my SOD issue.

Agreed
i had the same symptoms like 3 months ago, flashed new radio and poof ... no more SOD's
re: Does upgrading the radio require any flashing or upgrading ROM? what are the risks?
well, you will have to ensure that you hardspl your device first. only then can you start rom/radio upgrades. the risk? without hardspl, you could brick your unit. with hardspl, you can then upgrade roms and radios anytime. just make sure the radio you're upgrading is compatible with your unit. e.g., my t-mobile is compatible with the 2.15 radio. not sure if this applies to the european version though.
by upgrading your radio, this will not affect the contents of your device. by upgrading your rom, everything gets erased as the new rom overwrites the content (thus make sure you do a back up first).

i found another solution you can try. never let your screen turn off.
yes you'll have to constantly watch it and always be pressing something to keep it on... but I assure you, with this technique, youll never have a sleep of death.
Haha the TS is rather creative.
I'm trying to test my battery life so I downloaded a 2.17 RUU.exe (Freeza's all in one crashes mid-install for me, it always has...maybe related to eng hboot? probably not but idk) so I could run a stock ROM for the tests (I had intermittent reboots on the ROM I was running previously). I got the ROM all set up, installed my apps, flashed and updated superuser, installed busybox, and updated superuser binary, then I installed a team d3rp skin and leedroid tweaks. I wiped cache, dalvik and rebooted after the leedroid tweaks and when my phone booted up, I saw that wifi just said "error" on it. I didn't think anything of it since all I'm doing is using this ROM to try to drain my battery and I'm going back to another ROM soon and I figured it was something wrong with the kernel (I did not flash a kernel btw), but then I tried to turn on 4g as well (just to drain battery faster) and the 4G wouldn't turn on either; I got the message "4G was unable to start"
Anyone else have this issue? The only thing I can think of is maybe it could be leedroid tweaks was the odexed version, which I had read was what stock ROMs normally "use" (that's probably not the correct terminology, sorry if it isn't.)
Why would you do all of that just to drain your batter?
You could of searched "Battery Drainer" on the play store.
But to answer your question.
It is probably leedroid tweaks. I had this problem once and had to do a full wipe and flash a new Rom,

Well I have a Seidio 4000 mAh battery and I want to have the ROM somewhat customized since I'll be on it a couple days minimum since I want to record battery history from multiple charges using battery monitor widget. I'll try a reinstall, thanks.
Also, I didn't think to check the store for battery draining apps, I guess I didn't expect there to be apps specifically designed for draining batteries only...
Thank you for the info
I know if a kernel wasn't flashed right can cause borked 4G and WiFi. If your hboot 1.5 . What was the last thing you did new when it happened?

The last thing I did before it broke was install the skin apk, then I rebooted to recovery, wiped cache+dalvik, then flashed leedroid tweaks odexed
I didn't think a bad kernel flash would bork 4g too. I've never had s-on though. Also, after wifi/4g broke but before trying to do a fresh install, I decided to flash one of chad's stable anthrax kernels, no luck with 4g/wifi, and I tried ziggy's kernel that virus posted in his thread a few days ago, no luck with that either. I'm going to do a fresh install and I'm actually going to add one mod in at a time this time, so I know what breaks it (assuming something actually goes wrong this time around).
How do I check if a ROM is odexed/deodexed if it's already on my phone? I can't exactly pull apart the windows RUU.exe to check, so is there any way of checking thru adb or root explorer, maybe something else similar?

thanks for the link I'll download that. The guys over in the 3rd party battery database thread would probably like to see this too
Hmm, I still haven't done a fresh install yet but I just installed system tuner...Apparently, neither of the kernels I tried actually flashed, but I have flashed the same exact zips successfully on other ROMs. I'm thinking it may have been the RUU itself that I downloaded, I'm just going to try a 2.08 RUU, take the OTA, then root, recovery, etc as that's the only way I've successfully used an executable RUU in the past without any issues.
Please, nobody else post in this thread, just let it die. Thanks to those who posted to help me out though
My phone's battery is draining drastically. Immediately i start doing something with the phone, the battery starts draining heavily. The highest i can get is about 4 hours of use. I've considered buying the Mugen Power 1950mAh Extended

I've even tried different roms, no of them stopped the battery drain. I just need testimonies on this battery or any other 100% sure method that can work.. thanks!

Even though the sensation battery does work on the amaze, it is smaller than stock amaze battery. Secondly, are you on the latest updated radio and base build? What ROM are you running? If you want decent battery life then try speedrom, miui (older version haven't tried the new one), sense 4 ROM and cm10 has decent battery life as well given you have the right settings enabled. If you keep your 4g data connection on all the time then you will end up with horrendous battery life on any ROM; good luck
Don't get mugen, go to eBay and get EC battery (1900mA). I got a package that included 2 EC branded batteries and a separate dock charger (basically you can charge one battery while using the other in phone) for only 16 bucks and battery life is way better than the stock on these cheap Chinese batteries (I get anywhere between 3 to 3 1/2 hours of screen on time on average and a total time of around 16-17 hours with that kind of usage which is amazing and I have been using these batteries for about 6 months)

when i charge it up to 100%, immediately i unplug it and leave it for 5 minutes without use, it goes down to 96%, and soon goes down to 89% within another few minutes and continues that way.. when am using the phone, the battery drain is even worse. what do you think? should i still proceed with your method?

I am still hanging on to my Rezound even though it sux. I am not sure what is going on but every ROM I flash i am getting crappy battery life. I have an extended battery and it only lasts about 5-7 hours. Sometimes only 3-4 hours!
I have tried my battery in another Rezound and it works fine. I have followed the steps to flash my ROM cleanly. I have also not downloaded any apps, I have only been using what comes with the ROMS. Lastly, I have made sure wifi and BT are off, and even dimming my screen.
What else can I do besides smash my Rezound with a mallet. I hate this phone right now. Should I flash a new radio, were is the best place to get them from?
I have used alot of Neo's ROMs and curretnly running Nils Business Sense. I really like using stable ROMs with the camera working!
Thanks...

1.) have you tried my downgrade/upgrade guide in the q&a section....doing every single one has helped my developer rez from overheating and battery drain 2.) does the rez actually get pretty hot

Thanks for the information. I will follow that guide and see how my Rez works afterwards. I think I may have a custom hboot so I will need to look into this before I start.
My phone does get hot but not very often. Most of the time I just noticed the crappy battery life (with extended battery).
Thanks again...

or 2b just to update everything?
