Ok, I'm a frequent reader but this is my first post, so bear with me here.
I've flashed many roms, many times, and have even attempted to cook my own so I think I'm pretty competent, however the one issue that i have that I can't seem to find an answer to no matter how much searching I do is the fact that with WM6.5 (and it doesn't matter what build because it's and issue that has happened on all of them)....if I install M2D, my wifi connection keeps trying to search for an access point. It won't connect if the switch is off, it just blinks every so often like it's searching. Really makes me upset when I'm trying to listen to music or watch a movie (yeah I'm one of those guys who uses his phone for EVERYTHING). WM6.5 works fine by itself, no matter the build, and on a wm6.1 rom, M2D doesn't give me that issue. I did notice that there was an advanced config program on a 217xxx build of 6.5 and in there is a setting for wifi scanning, no matter what I change it to, it doesn't seem to save and my wifi still searches every 20 seconds....just like it says in that default setting.
Any suggestions or solutions? I would like to have both on my phone for the sake of variety....it is the spice of life so they say
Have you td using your Comm Manager to turn WiFi off after M2D turns it on?
Of course....comm manager was the first thing I looked at. Like I said, there's an "Advanced Config" in WM6.5 and in there under Network, is a setting for Wifi scan that is by default every 20 seconds. I try to change it, however it seems like any change doesn't save and it reverts to the default 20 seconds
I found that if I install the 10 button com manager my wifi goes haywire... however, with the stock com manager it seems to work fine.
I have it stock, haven't installed any other comm manager
Same problem here!!!

thx everyone!
What SD card you using ? ..
With my 8gb class 6 card, the Current Widget shows 3mA (stand by)
same build other card (2gb class 4) Current Widget shows 69mA (stand by)
How often do you use your phone? Sometime, w e forget that the battery drains fast because we're constantly on wifi or 3g and playing games.
turn off gps, wifi, 3g if not needed. boot android when keylights are on.
i can use android up to 20 hours with normal use (some phonecalls, internet, searching marketplace, checking twitter, weather, mails and so on every hour...)
maybe try another radio, another wm-rom, android build... 'search' is your friend there are so many threads/posts about battery...
hmm today the battery was emtpy after 5 hours... having 3 calls ( 3-6 minutes) and beeing most of the time in stand by modus...
@ bytefax: i have a scandisc 2GB... i dont know wich level... -> does that mean -> the bigger the sd card, the less gets the battery use?!?!
@azzzz: at the moment i try to use it only if its really necessary... just to check out how long my battery lives...
@tranquillo: i´ve already checked several posts, but what i´m looking for now, is someone, who got the same phone as I do and let me try his SetCpu settings...
übrigens... ich tu mir auf deutsch etwas leichter... danke schonmal für die hilfe... wär super wenn ich mein htc länger als 5 stunden benutzen könnt.

Try to run CLRCAD and HARET whit the keypad lights on.
I had mattc 1.5b installed, in standby mode I was getting 5-9 mA drain (current widget numbers). I upgraded to mattc 1.7 it jumped to 20 mA drain in standby. did a clean install of 1.7, still 20+ mA drain. went back to mattc 1.5b and drain was 20+ mA in standby. switched to mdeejay sense build 20mA drain in standby, formatted card several times no change. turns out that android was only charging battery to 96%. once I charged the phone in windows mobile to 100% both mattc anb mdeejay roms get 7 mA drain in standby. each time I notice an increase in battery drain (standby) android does not charge battery completely (when android charges to 96% I get 20+ mA drain in standby, when android charges to 94% I get 70+ mA drain); I simply charge battery in windows and battery drain goes back to normal. 20+ hours with moderate usage, 40+ hours light usage.

Fully Charge while Device is Off before first boot, then upon first boot go to terminal and enter these (without the quotes) and press enter after every line.
"su"
"rm /data/system/batterystats.bin"
Ensure that Keypad Lights are on when Haret is launched and you will be healed.
@ amcjungle -> terminal?!?!
Terminal emulator is an app. You can download it from the Market. A terminal is a way to gain access to a system.
@amcjungle: ok... thx for that info. Terminal is probably an app for windows mobile?
the last thing i dont really get to 100% is, what you want me to do with the Keypad Lights... they should be on ?!?
If you could make a screenshot or explain it, this would be christmas like!!
best wishes and thx for the help!!

Terminal is an app for android. What you would want to do is charge your phone completely while off or in windows mobile. Probably better while turned off, although that part I cannot confirm. So with your battery charged to 100% just press the call button or something to activate the keylights. so that call, windows, back, and all other buttons are lit. While they are lit up start android. They will turn off, but we want them on when haret loads. Once into android open terminal emulator or download it from the market. Then type in su to gain super user access and then the other command to clear the battery charge memory.
At times my standby voltage will go to 120ma and up. When it happens I open the process button on the Weather and News widget and I close every process that is running. After that I hold down the power button until the option to Power Off shows up on the screen. Once I power off the phone I just restart Winmo and Android normally and my standby voltage goes back to 6ma.
If I let it run at >120ma standby voltage the battery will be drained within 5-6 hours every time.

Dont use task killers unless you know what you are doing. They are mainly for apps that wont close (freeze) or apps that you yourself have opened. If you close system prosseses like weather, news, messaging, and so on you are only making things worse.
That's why you need to shutdown and restart phone after you close them. When you restart the phone the needed processes will be started too.
I've tried this with task killer and it does nothing, the only luck I've had has been with the process toggle on the Weather and News widget.
thx for giving me this detailed explanation!! i´ll try this and let you know how things are doing!!
Hi, I've tried exactly the method you said but when I type in the last line (ending batterystats.bin) it says its not found.
Have I done something wrong?

are you putting in a space after rm?
rm(space)/data/system/batterystats.bin
if you did then you do not have this file
when exactly are the keypad lights supposed to turn off? Mine seem to stay on indefinitely.
Still having Probs
Hey there. I,m having some issues with my battery too.
My Build belongs to Bangster (v 1.5) (great work) on ChuckyDroidROM Lite with Radio 2.15.50.14 running on Scandisk 8 gb class 2. Michi R11 AXI kernel.
I do not have several Sd cards to test consuption.
I read the Thereads about heavy battery drain for the last 4 days.
I tryed differend Radio Roms, i tryed different WM Roms (Flashing VBNROM AGAIN at the moment)
I tryed to fix the Keypad Lib, loaded my battery in win/off to 100 %, switched off all background services except 3g, do NOT have any taskillers or something (Android isnt meant to let tasks get killed by user i think)
I tryed to boot with Keypad lights on and use Set CPU as recommended with no overclocking.
i Use brightness lvl 25 %
BUT my battery drains at last with 60 ma (current widget) within 5-6 hours nearly to empty.
I dont know any further.
I rellay need my Phone with Sync to Google for more than that. Can't load my phone on German Autobahn (i'm slightly often there)
BUT i had a very good Battery life with mccmjohn's 2.5/VBN/2.14/Michi R11 in the end it was not stabel for me.
I dont have the time to try all the Builds with different Kernels in combination with all the WMRoms.
Can Pls someone help me????
PS: I dont want to annoy any of the devs, awesome work they did
i'm LeoDroid user since first Darksone build
Hi.
Im running Energy CHT2.0 Dinik Rom plus a handful of other apps.
I tend to find that after running iGo8 or PortSip or Android, that the HD2 has real trouble with the boot sequence and seems to hang and max out at 100% cpu.
i use battclock to display cpu %, but its frustrating when you have to remove the battery 24 times waiting for the HD2 to boot properly once.
Other times it will runs for a week without a reset.
The Startup menu shows the following:
BTtrayCe.exe
Battclock
Spb wireless monitor service
Memmaid_tweaks
Email on 3 (push email)
Any trouble shooting suggestions to narrow things down to find the cause?
Cheers
Hi, all. I've had my Atrix for about two months and I love it. But I've had a problem since day one.
On occasion, the touchscreen input driver will freeze for a short period. I'm not sure about the frequency, but my guess is it happens once an hour, and the duration of the freeze tends to be between 0 and 10 seconds. The state of the screen input, at the instant the freeze begins, will persist throughout the duration. So if the freeze happens when I am touching it, it will continue to register the touch until the input mechanism returns to normal.
For instance, say I'm typing on the virtual keyboard and the freeze happens at the moment my finger happens to be on the backspace key. Even after lifting my finger off the screen, the backspace button will stay enlarged and I'll witness the cursor clear out all the text in the window. Touching other virtual keys during this period has no effect; there is none of the expected haptic or on-screen feedback. At some point, the touch interface will wake up and I can perform an "Undo," or else re-type everything.
Things I've tried:
Updating to the latest Atrix firmware
Various virtual keyboards. It actually doesn't have anything to do with the keyboard, because it happens when I'm doing other activities, such as paging around the home screen launcher or engaging with other apps.
Looking at the Watchdog app immediately after a freeze occurs, to see if something is hogging resources. Since it never reports anything out-of-the-ordinary, maybe it's something with the input driver.
Regardless of what the Watchdog said, I tried various ways to help performance, assuming it could be due to the device running out of memory or the CPU is getting too hot or overloaded. Whatever is the case about the use and misuse of task killers and system apps, the freezing behavior was going on from the moment I got the phone. Regardless, I uninstalled any third party apps I don't use and rooted the device so that I could install various memory management apps (e.g. disabling various 3rd party apps in Autostarts app, SetCPU app configured to max at 900 Mhz, Autokill app setting the system to be more aggressive about keeping unused apps out of memory, used supposedly best practices with the Advanced Task Killer app).
Any thoughts?

Sounds like you have some hardware issues. Looks like you have tried just about everything on a software level.
Maybe try flashing it back to 1.57 manually then OTA it back to a fresh stock 1.83.
If the problem is still there then get it replaced if you still can!
If your not familiar with Flashing, Go Here--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072
Thanks, I will try to get it returned, and if I can't then I will try flashing it.

I have this same problem ONLY when in the Google Search app. It doesnt matter if I open the app with an icon or the search hardkey, it hangs for several seconds when i try to type my first word. Im using Swype.
Noticing some unexplainable lag just now myself; ffs..
Are you perhaps noticing it while you're connected to a pc via usb? Mine is certainly acting up while on usb connection. I also just re-installed Watchdog tonight.. Try removing that & reboot and see what it does.
No, mine is definitely lagging when I plug it to a usb..
Hello XDA,
Ever since I updated my rooted Captivate to 2.3 last month, I have been having a few weird problems.
The first problem is that my phone has a weird refresh issue. Basically, sometimes, when switching apps, the homescreen (launcher pro) and other running apps don't retain their display, icons, status, or information. For example, sometimes when pressing the home key, the app minimizes and the home icons all have to reappear and refresh, taking up to 5 seconds. Another example is when using task switcher to switch to and from Reddit is Fun, the program must reload whatever page it was on instead of just jumping back to it.
This gets very frustrating when dealing with anything that needs to stay idle such as web browsers and certain games. It's as if 2.3 is closing the programs and then relaunching instead of retaining them in memory, but it's not consistent.
The other perhaps more frustrating problem is that the speaker does not work all the time. The phone switches to headphone mode and cuts out all the sound. Smacking the top of the phone sometimes makes it come back. Headphones always work, but this is problematic for me since I use my phone as an alarm. I've tried plugging in phones repeatedly, battery pulls, and made sure all volume is up, to no avail.
Thank you,
Brian

Brian, I'm actually in the same boat as you.
To fix the speaker issue (in order to get my alarms back) I've had to remove the back cover and apply a good press down on the simcard, and speaker itself. this has brought back the audio for me.
I've had the phone for 2 years though, so not sure if this is the issue/fix you need. But worth a try.
