The alarm clock in WM6 blows goats!
Is there an alarm clock app that won't kill my batteries?
What are you talking about? I use my alarm on my WM6 Black 1.2 every day, and no battery drain at all!
What I'm saying is, is there a third party alarm clock that doesn't kill batteries since the WM6 one is such garbage and limited (not that it drains batteries)

hello,
i have a german xda neo with o2's rom and since last week i have a problem: somehow there was a failure and an alarm has not been removed. usually i wake up at 6:30 am and one day i had to get up at 7:45 am. so i changed the repeating 6:30 alarm which rings on all workdays. after changing this alarm back, i have every morning two alarms: one at 6:30 and one at 7:45. the 7:45 alarm is not shown in the clock settings and changing one of the alarm values doesn't make a difference.
i there any way to disable this alarm manually? maybe are they saved in the registry?
The Universal has no backup battery that I am aware of, and yet when the battery is taken out or swapped, the real-time clock keeps running. This is very useful, and I suppose it is powered for a time by the charge in a capacitor.
Can anyone confirm that it is a capacitor that keeps the clock ticking? Also, anyone know how long the battery can be removed before the clock eventually stops?

sorry, the Universal has a backup battery for the Clock

I just got a wing phone and I see my battery life isn't so well...is there anyone who knows a program that can help in the battery life of my phone?
How much is not so well? I usually have to charge mine every other day, sometimes it will last three days. Moderate use, a half hour of talking about the same in calendar planning and about 10-20 sms/mms and an hour of mp3/day.
I have noticed that some programs you install will have a wery negative effect on batterylife. I installed slide2unlock and batterylife dropped to one day, also an 3rd party alarm (can´t remember the name right now) drained the phone.
yea I have slide 2 unlock and a couple 3rd party programs..I think there's a program or edit that can help the battery life not sure which thou

I wanted to start this thread so we could all share our findings with apps and widgets that kill our batteries either due to things like, poor coding design or ridiculously high resource requirements! I recommend using a app called BatterBatteryStats (find it in the market, all one word) this can show you apps and widgets that may be keeping your phone from entering deep sleep mode (Wake Locks) and chewing up all your battery!!
List of offenders:
Weather Toggle & Widgets - Even tho I have the weather refresh interval set to 6 hours. Over an 8 hour period this widget run over 3000 times and was running for 25+ mins total (refreshing weather and location data) when my phone was supposed to be sleeping.
Alternative - Fancy Widgets can get H7C clock skin without the battery drain
Juice Defender - This and many other "Battery Saver" apps often drain your battery more then they actually save. This is due to its process monitoring your phone usage. Juice Defender drinks about 0.8% battery per hour. Which doesn't sound like much but after a 12 hour day that's almost 10% of your battery!! - Thanks yz.hd
Please reply with any offending apps/wigets that you find and your analysis. I will do my best to place them in the first post.
Do not use "battery savers".
For example Juice defender. It uses your battery more than it saves.
What it does is simply disabling wifi and data when you are not using it, but to know when to do this, it has to be running in the background all the time.
So, if you want to save battery life, remember to disable wifi/data/bt yourself. It will save a lot of battery juice
My findings have only been one so far , I loved g alarm on windows mobile , well for android it consumed at a constant rate 99 percent CPU . Yeah uninstall and plus one to any task killer or battery saver .

I tried testing g alarm and couldnt recreate your problem. I didn't get high cpu usage or any wake locks. I was using this version of g alarm. Is this the same one you used?

When I first got my phone battery life was really good. However, I started noticing a couple of days ago that it started draining more rapidly so I installed GSM battery to find out the culprit and left my phone on overnight.
What I found out was that my alarm clock was the main problem of the android OS draining my battery while it was idle! WTF.
Any ideas besides rebooting my phone?
From the GNex to this, the inconsistencies and fluctuatings between battery life daily is killing me. Plus the battery graph isn't showing flat anymore.

I get this from the Alarm Clock Plus app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vp.alarmClockPlusDock&hl=en
So I guess it's not actually the fault of the app if you're getting something like this with the stock clock app?
Does anybody else have this problem?
