I want to see how your X1's doing on performance. Please post your battery life with ur daily usage here please
For myself, i ran it only for a few days n i may have to get an extra battery to work...
phone fully charged by wall charger from 12am last night to 7am this morning (i know the crappy stuff about charging it thru PC, so i decided to go with wall charger).
unplugged at 7am
7am - 9am: phone was on without usage - wifi, bluetooth, everythings off
(battery bar from FULL to 80%)
9am - 11am: windows media player with connection for live radio online
(battery bar from 80% to 40%)
11am to 2:45pm: media player panel for mp3 usage, listening to mp3 nonstop with a few short phone calls
(battery bar empty and it shut off itself)
so i have total of 5 hours and 45 minutes of usage of the phone from 9am to 2:45pm, other than that it was just sitting turned on from 7am to 9am
Is it normal? please post urs here to do a little comparison!
Fully charged with the phone off overnight, 8 hours later without any usage (just checked the clock a few times) kept me at 100% battery level.
However, using the internet to browse through regular websites consistently and running Fring at the same time runs my battery from 100% to completely shut down in 3 hours and 45 minutes or so.
Today:
Fully charged and unplugged @ 10am
Surfed the web 30 minutes (opera 9.5)
Skype ~10 minutes (text messaging)
Checked mails (2 accounts) every 60 minutes = 10 times until 8pm
~20 minutes phone calls
all with HSDPA
battery level now 1:17 am, after 15 hours, 60%.
So, yes. Its normal and I think any other phone will behave the same with 2 hours listening to online radio + ~3 hours mp3 playback + few short phone calls.
Charged about 8h overhight, unplugged at 10am in the morning, bluetooth on all day, synchronized with bluetooth watch mbw-150 for all day, listening music over bluetooth stereo headset for about half hour, phone calls 35 minutes, turned on display many times over all day and in the evening at midnight, after 14 hours of usage I have more then 60% battery so not bad I think.
Battery life
Well my phone really is inconsistent. I keep forgetting to load it at night and i will be empty the next morning as long as bluetooth is on. No matter how full it was in the evening.
I do use it all day with bluetooth and about 1 hour phone calls a day over bluetooth + Outlook used a lot. It will be almost empty in the evening.
Bluetooth really is pulling the battery down.
ya, hmm maybe cause by network we are in... maybe some network require stronger use of battery to get reception... for this i cant really tell cause im not an expert...
by the way, im in US using ATT.
feel better now though by knowing its normal for a pda phone, actually its my first, used to play mp3 all day with sony's phone, lol
i know turning all programs and connection off will reduce use of battery, but is there ways to really make it run a little longer?
sidenote: my theme is Today, and i also make sure that nothing running in task manager...
Perhaps it has something to do with the radio ROM?
anyone? no hints?
Connected to EDGE, BT (syncing with car stereo only) and WLM 24/7 with about and hour or two worth of calls and viewing & answering sms/emails my battery lasts about 3 days.
Connected to EDGE, BT (syncing with car stereo only), WLM 24/7 with about 20 minutes worth of calls, viewing & answering sms/emails and listening to mp3's with the screen on with the backlight dimmed lasts from about 6-7 hours.
Connected to EDGE, BT (syncing with car stereo only), WLM 24/7 with about 20 minutes worth of calls, viewing & answering sms/emails and listening to mp3's with the screen off lasts from about 10-15 hours
charged th phone overnight swiched off, on at 8:00 MBW-150 and bt headset connected 2 hours of calls. no wifi or internet browsing, 3g and HSDPA off. and at the end of the day after normal use 23:00 battery was almost dry.....
100% in the morning @ 7:00 am charged all night using wall charger
HSDPA (or Edge depending on converage) all the time with Microsoft Push Email
10 to 20 SMSes per day
2 to 3 hours phone call
RSS feeds syncing every 1 hour using RSS HUB.
Bluetooth ON 24/7 in connectable mode, connected to BT headset (not sterio) and BT watch (MBW-150) using smartWatchM
10 to 15 Minutes of WiFi
i reach 10:00pm and the battery on 20 or 30%.
if i reduce phone calls (1 to 1.5 hours) i get 40 to 50% @ 10:00pm
this is a great battery life for me, i love it. the battery is affected by the current FW you are using and how many applications are running in the background (doing stuff not sleeping).
i use R2AA10.
Cheers
Alarm rings at 6:00.
Usage 6:00 - 16:00:
Two or three phone calls with a length of one minute or two.
Email checking for 3 accounts every 30minutes (HSDPA).
10 to 20 text-messages (receive and write).
Half an hour listening to music with headphones.
Usage 16:00 - 0:00:
Two or three phone calls with a length of one minute or two.
Email checking for 3 accounts every 30minutes (EDGE).
10 to 20 text-messages (receive and write).
Quarter an hour of W-Lan while searching the internet for updates to my programs.
Usage 0:00 - 6:00:
Standy with flightmode.
The battery drains each day for about 20%, so I charge the battery each 4th day (it should last one more day but you never know what's coming to drain your battery during the day )
I'm on YYYYY's german Manilla ROM
Hi,
New here, my first post.
Am using the latest update from SonyEricsson website.
No matter for how long I charge my phone never shows "Completely charged" status all the time its in "Charging" mode.
I have observed that it consumes more charge on using playing music, browsing, using Java tools, and if Bluetooth is kept on.
Take it off charge at 0700
3-4 hours internet use.
Podcast download and RSS feed checking + dl... (varies in a day depending on Podcast available or not and whats new)
Loads of sms
about an hour of phone calls
about 4 hours or so of reading/vocab practice (using Plecodict, a Chinese language tool)
after 2-3 days like this it needs charging again (40-20% depending on podcast dl)
Let it charge over night.
Lasts about 2 full days.
Make few calls, lots of texts, checks emails every 15 min and updates weather every 4hrs.
Also updates stocks, rss and other stuff.
Use facebook panel once a day.
After reading this thread i am a bit confused. I have My X1 for 10 days now, and it never held the whole day, which makes me want ma E90 back...
Couse the usage is just the same, maybe a little more WLM.
I have mails checking every 5 mins, no WIFI, or BT. AND 24/7 WLM connected, with 5 hours typing or more.
And i gues it is thy typing that consumes battery. Somehow X1 3" screen consumes twice the power of E90 4" screen? That just doesn't make sense. G2 or G3 doesn't realy matter. Well only little.
Will try for the first time tommorow without WLM.
Or Maybe WLM with me turning the screen of and relying on sound notification, instead of checking the screen all the time.
Still big downside for me, regarding the battery. Even E90 was at EDGE, couse, UMTS did not hold it whole day. God damm it we have battery tehnology from 100 years back...
can those with good battery life please post the rom and radio rom u are using?
thanks
So, here's my problem. I owend (or still own) the following phones:
... (a lot of phones in the past)
HTC Neo
Iphone 3G
HTC G1
Palm Pre
So, actually the Pre does it for me! I sell the Iphone right now on Eba*. But here's my problem -> Batterylife!
I hate the batterylife of the Palm / IPhone and the others. The mainproblem is, I love the internetfunctionality, it's great to go online where ever I like, got my mails all 15 / 30 minutes up to date and so on.... But e.g. the Pre is empty at the next morning! I got a tool installed which switchs the phone into the flight mode over night, but the battery is on 10% or empty at the next morning!!! The Iphone does it better, but at the mid of the second day it's empty as well.
OK, what should I do? Should I buy the HTC HD2? HTC says it could play 8hours of videoplayback!!! If this is true, the standby time should be good enough, too! I read the thread about the people which are telling about the low batterytime, is this normal or just in a few cases? I don't like to switch of my wireless/3G at night, or if I'm not using it, where's the sense!? I like to use it right out of the box, and not going to switch it on or off befor!?
What did you think? Should I buy a HTC HD2 and sell the Pre? It doesn't matter which OS comes with it, because I love WM as well as WebOS or the Iphones one, every of them got a good and a bad taste.
P.s.: Does the Windows Marketplace a good job, are there many apps in? Oh, and could you still install over the mobility center manually?
Cheers
Schakal
lol they are all the same. Just charge them every night while you sleep. Problem solved.
No sorry, not solved
Ok, is it possible to use the HD2 a whole day, I mean 16h, with normal use? Like e.g. I would use it one hour for internet, half an hour for calling and maybe one hour for work with mails?
My Pre says good night at nine o'clock!!! That's toooo less for me! I was at a customer and I got an important call, but the Pre tought it would be OK if I would call back, when I'm at home (battery empty).
So, is it possible?
I charge mine bedside overnight and yes, it lasts a whole day (a whole day typically being; up at 5am & bed by 10.30pm + between 1 and 1 1/2 hours music playing in the gym + lots of fiddling with it [it's a new gadget] + about 15 mins of call time + about 10 mins txt time + about 15 mins surfing (I'm at a PC all day with a phone, otherwise it would be more) AND I have the screen power set to bright.
Even with all that I still have 2 bars on the battery when is gets plugged in at night.
HTH

This implies you are not charging overnight. You are saying the battery is empty by the second day. It will be. It needs charging every night, all night.
Ok thought the battery life on my HD2 was pretty awful (always charged it all night) but for some unknown reason a couple of days ago I decided to switch off all data updates (twitter, email download set to every 2 hours instead of 30mins, stock updates, rss hub) still have facebook & weather apps downloading as normal. I now kill any program once I've finished using it.
Doing all this has dramatically increased battery life, am now on 71% after unplugging it yesterday around 1PM so that's best part of 22 hours. During which have made/received a few calls sent 10+ texts, downloaded 50+ emails, manually updated rss feeds 10 times, played about with IMDB app for 30 mins, played 45 mins on poker, done a full virus scan & database update (31mins), run a level 3 ram clean, browsed the web.... probably spent about 2-3 hours on it solid and the battery is only down just over 1/4 - would have pretty much been out of juice before!
All I have to do is click the update now soft key every time I want a data feed refreshed, no biggie I reckon.
my battery is awsome too.. using it every day for phone calls and many many sms, surfing everyday with opera when im in train / bus to work or school.
i dont use it for music, so dont know how much battery that would cost, also i dont have any things updating in the background like the weather or facebook or whatever, im doing that manually..
fact, my battery can hold 2 days, maybe even 3. but what kills the battery is when i play games.. 15mins of morphgear games and my battery has 10% less omg
but yea.. rarely playing games with it, so i got my hd2 lasts 2 days
I had my phone charged last night and it died before i woke up in the morning. Now i just finished my charge almost 1 hour and 20 minutes ago, and its already 90 percent. And i have nothing but gtalk running, and a fresh install. Is this possible its a battery problem?
Did you check your battery use in the settings menu under phone status? It breaks down what used all your charge. If you already hooked it up and charged it full, it might be too late to tell since it wipes the last charge's results off.
Keep an eye on that and see if there is something in that list killing your battery more than normal. If everything in there looks ok, it's possible your battery is bad.

That seems normal.
Maybe you have the problem where an SMS is received and the screen stay on? Some people were reporting that problem in another thread. That would definitely kill your battery if you received a message sometime during the night.
I'm at:
Display: 52% 37min
Cell Standby 15% 3hr
Beautiful Widgets 13%
Phone Idle 13% 2hr20min
Bah that sucks, is there a fix for that sms thing? I havent seem it once yet. So basically 10 percent in 2 hours of no use is normal? I thought this phone could be on idle for days. eh.

Sorry, I missed the part where you stated the battery is at 89%...
My phone, on the first charge, lasted 28 hours with moderate to heavy usage. It should last a lot longer if it's just in standby.
Do you think i should go tomorrow to get my battery replaced?

How long have you had your phone? I'd give it a few days of fully charging/discharging to break in the battery and go from there. But the phone should definitely last you at least all day with moderate use.
I have had it since the night of the 18th. Well i mean i can try that, but it feels like its not the case. I dont know... bah
Display 57%
Cell Standby 14%
Phone Idle 9%
Voice Calls 8%
Camera 5%
Android System 3%
Android OS 2%
Of course it doesn't talk about the 30minutes of Wifi, the 30 or so minutes of watching some videos. Nor does it address surfing the net for around 60minutes and various emails through out the day.
Uptime 17:26:38
Battery 32%
Last night around this same time I had around 20%.
So it does seem to be improving a bit. Of course I wont know until tomorrow's usage.
I unplugged it around 6am and now its 11:37pm. So its lasting as long as I have so far. When I hit the sack I'll plug it in and go for it again tomorrow. As long as it has power when I go to bed then we will get a long just fine.

Remove widgets, lower your brightness, turn off GPS, turn off WiFi, set your notifications to a later time, and close unused running programs and see if that helps.
Personally if I'm below 75% and I have access to a charger, I just keep it plugged in to charge.
I had a fresh reinstall last night, and i lost 32 percent battery from 11pm to 10am without using the phone but for maybe 5 text messages.
I dont think this is normal...

+1.... Welcome to the inconsistencies of Android.
- Widgets off
- GPS in the task bar on. It only fires it up when it needs it anyways
- Screen Brightness I don't know I think its set to around 17-25% or so
- I turn off all that haptic feedback nonsense
- 3G off
- Wifi off
- Regular background
- I'm not running exchange or anything fancy that constantly looks for email, good old Gmail.
At least thats what I have my phone set up for. "What do you mean you don't have 3G on. Edge is so slow" Yeah its so useful when your phone is laying there doing nothing.
Same i have all that crap turned off. But i get bad battery times. Im thinking of returning and getting my battery replaced today. It wont hurt
Install Battery Graph and see how fast your battery drains at certain time intervals. You can probably tell if it's an app or not causing the problem if you see a big drop in a short time interval.
I was having the same issues for the first three day however I spent A LOT of time playing and tweaking as this is my first Andriod... I would unplug it at 6am and by 8am (with little to no use) I was down to about 65% but I was still thinking about replacing it.
I did the GPS Update and it seems to have helped a TON... Dunno what the coloration is (maybe the bad GPS signal was constantly looking and draining the battery) but it seems to really help.
Hope this helps some.
What is the GPS Update? You mean the fix in the Development section?
It is now still showing 23% charge with regular usage.
WIFI always on and auto-connect when in range, GPS, Bluetooth always on. Facebook and Twitter set to refresh every 5 minutes. Played a bit of Krazy Kart, some web browsing calls txt's and so on.
Running JPC 2.2 unrooted no lag fix etc.
Quite chuffed
interesting...
do you have sync stuff set at every 30 min or every 60 min ?
i have all my apps sync every 30 or 60 when allowed
battery last half a day as in 12 hours
need two pack every for a full 24 hours
All apps that need sync are set at 5 minutes. I cannot remember what I set Google to sync to but it will be whatever the minimum time is.
This is getting unreal. OK charged up on Friday night overnight with clock on and unplugged yesterday (Sat) morning. Light to medium use and tonight as I type it still shows over 30% charge left. Thats's 38 hours and counting so far.
Am I alone in thinking this freaky for an Android Smartphone?
