what roms / radios will give me the best battery life. currently running ahens latest rom with radio 2.08.50.05. battery life is good, have used nrgs roms in the past and they seem to drain my batt within a day of hardly any use.
best battery life???
- Thread starter tomworallpfc
- Start date
2.09 radio seems best, as does 1.72 base and 218*** WM builds. look for roms like those.
Laurentius's ultimate power has great battery life. But most are ok for HD2. There are very few stinkers, and most battery life issues are due to 16GB cards - avoid roms with the documents/e-reader tabs to be sure of better battery life.

I would think that it might be an indexing service that are doing this powerdrain, if this is the case - Maybe killing indexing service on SD card would improve battery performance ?
Reading and writing data on the mem card will use energy... if it's idle though i don't think it will.
shouldn't the indexing be done on only the first boot if it is done anyway?
There are quite a few people complaining about battery dain caused by the memory cards.
The most simple test is proven to start the phone without a memory card. is it better then reformat the card in the phone. copy the files on it and try again. If that not works search for corrupt files on the card. especially music.
the indexing serviceisgion wild on some phones. shutting it down solves the problem.
use the search of the forum on these things and you will find quite a few threads about this subject

On Radio 2.09 using Ahenf series ROM took off charge this morning at 7:15 now 13:10 and its on 73% which is a big improvement over other ROMS I have tried 
Also the icon set on this ROM, Stability and performance is great. Only downside Marketplace doesn't work. Which I don't use anyway

good shout i am really enjoying Ahens ROMS what is the radio you are using the long version 2.09.51.05 or whatever it is?
Used this before Ahens ROM and in my experiance battery drained quite quickly. Lasting longer and longer now after two charges.
Using 2.09.51.03_2
still running over 25 hours now used for calls about 1 hour, 70ish texts, 20 mins of GT2 on FPSece over 1 hour music playback and about 45 mins of internet on 30% still just remember that roms like energy's will run down more quickly because the backlight is set so high.
Once you reduce it to 40%/60% battery/external things DO even out. But even then 576MB rom will use more juice esp if you load the memory up.
The more you use the device, the less you will notice differences - because use is use no matter how good a rom is. It's in standby where the tweaks shine.
I personally found Artemis < Dutty's HG < Energy < Ultimate Power.
BUTBUTBUT - we're talking about a few extra percent overnight, or a little during the day. For instance from 2days of moderate use to 2days with a bit more left for the third, but not completely.

When I used Energy ROM is was going down 8-12% an hour with it in standby
Loved the ROM but this was to much.When I used Energy ROM is was going down 8-12% an hour with it in standby
