Trying to figure out 1) cause of battery drain and 2) poor power mgmt.
I had a fully charged phone yesterday at 5pm, leaving work.
When I tried to turn it on this morning it was completely, completely drained.
I have 4min timeouts set on the phone for backlight off, and 5min for device off when on battery. I had WiFi tuned off, Bluetooth on.
I did have Wayfinder and GPS active on the way home, and may have just turned off the phone. If I turn off the phone with Wayfinder active, would this continue to drain the battery, GPS reception is passive, is it not ???
How come the battery drained to such an exent, it took 5 min on a charger before it would even power up, from a full reset and WM load.
My old XDA would hibernate at low battery percentage, and still have a reserve charge to keep the phone content/settings intact.
Any views, suggestions.

When I first got my x1 end of last year, I found I only got around 6 hours out of a battery.
Now I get about 36 hours of normal use out of one charge. Including 1 hour of gps each day/ half hour of wifi.
What worked for me was to, reduce back light time to 10 seconds when standalone. I also found S2U unlock drained the battery, so I now use the standard unlock.
Also, ensure that no auto updates (only manual) are done e.g SPB weather, insight RSS etc.
I have also changed my battery to a Mugen 1800 mAh. This seems to have increased my time by around 25% on average use.
S2U2 no longer drains my battery, one of the old versions did and so did the old version of AE Button but they are both good now, I get min of 2 days and max of about 5 depending on load of use... normal use is about 3... (internet for emails and dling rss feeds and some reading of forums 1 hour, reading books/texts about 4-5 hours and listening about 2hours plus calls and texts is a normal day for me...)
GPS does drain your battery pretty quick though...

There is no poor power management in there.
It is all because of wayfinder. GPS is still active if you leave Wayfinder active all the time and it will drain the battery supoerfat.
Try closing Wayfinder and you will what I am talking about.
I found out that any Battery applications greatly reduces my (juridically - my wife's) X1i lifetime.
AFAIK to measure any battery charge you need to short circuit it for a millisecond or so and measure the current, not the voltage. When any Battery software does it (through the hardware) every few seconds your battery looses its charge faster.

I am running Home++ and its fairly decent as far as drain goes... I dont notice much more than when its not running...
Tks for all your feedback.
I am fairly ok with normal use and battery life.
In this particular instance the drain happened so fast, overnight, and I was not using the X1 at all. (or so I thought so).
So I am curious to know what caused the rapid drain, and why the X1 does not have a more controlled low power close down.

I have already explained. It was the GPS application that drained the battery, nothing else.
Just as a test try leaving it for as few hours running again and you will see.
battery drain
I do have the same effect. but I do not use GPS or wifi at all.
Sometimes it put the phone down, screen disabled and fully charged. No application running.
Next morning the battery is dead.
It happens about once every two weeks without any sign why...
My solution: I bought a desktop charger which is able to charge a second battery and simply exchange it, when this happens again.
Not ideal - but right now we seem to have to life with it.
do you have an old version of S2U2 or AE Button plus on your phone? And I have also read that batti used to cause drain problems... this might be the case with yours(?) if you have none of these installed then I am of not much help...
If u use Push email or active sync, Google sync Hotmail sync any Email sync on arrivel option ur battery will only last 5hours cause the phone is using mobile web at all times and constantly sending and recieving, turn it off an ur phone will last over 19hours with out charge... EG i turned my email sync off at 10am an the batt level was 60% didnt charge it till next day 11am when the batt levels drop to 20%
Is your X1 fairly new?
I experienced exactly this issue about a week after I bought my X1. No apparent reason for it, but the battery just drained right out overnight.
Strangely, the same thing happend about a week after I bought a HTC Touch Pro.
In both instances it has happened only the one time. Since then things have been normal, or drains caused by known software issues (like the buggy version of S2U2).
As earlier suggested, I loaded the Wayfinder app, with its GPS active.
I tuned off the phone when the app was on screen.
Left it for 3 hours, and there was a noticeable drain of the battery.
Lets hope the new WM 6.5 improves Power Mgmt, and has a more elegant low power handling.
Do you have G-Alarm installed? My Battery gets drained very fast when I have this installed. I tried many different versions within the last few month, allways the same.
I experienced this last night for the first time with my X1. I left the X1 on the bedside table at 11:30 with 90% charge and was awakened by the battery low alarm at 6:30 am (not good).
The only thing that I noticed that was unusual was that my X1 had been connected to the PC with ActiveSync in the connected state. I shut down the PC and then unplugged the X1. In the morning after the battery low alarm I noticed that the phone thought it was still connected. I use SPB Phone Suite and it was still showing the Cradle profile. This would not change in the automatic mode so I had to reboot the phone. Everything has been fine since.
So ... I am wondering if ActiveSync can sometimes go crazy and drain the battery more quickly??
I have a faster draining battery since i installed g-alarm. can anyone confirm that?
In my case I dont have G-Alarm installed.
Well my battery is not draining that seriously. it's ok i guess.
But maybe you should try what is suggested in the last post of this thread:
http://www.xperiax1.net/forum/x1-problems-issues/2113-another-kind-battery-drain.html
Deep discharge my X1-battery just almost doubled my battery life in average

ok guys as advised by someone i fully drain my vodafone magic till it dies and then charge it to a 100%.
last night i did the same just before goin to sleep,when i woke up in the morning the battery was at 76% after about 8 hours.I just had 1 missed call,1 sms,1 tweet and 1 email.
How can the battery drain so fast for no work at all???
pls help......
Do you have alot of widgets running? What do you have switched on, Bluetooth,GPS,WiFi? How often do you have the "Data Synch" set for? All of these drain the battery, if they are all working at the same time it goes pretty quick.
Clinton
Woa! For the battery to drain overnight to 76% is crazy. never had this problem with my magic. It actually last very long.
But 76% overnight most likely means your battery is faulty and or you are leaving gps,wifi,and have quite a few things running on the phone like ClintonH stated.
however if you have everything off, as well as the brightness set low. Then contact Vodafone and let them know your issue. they should replace your battery at a free cost.
I suggest people use their battery for a week or 2 to see better results with their battery life. I started having poor battery life with my magic but now I can last about 2 day before I recharge it again.
As other user mentioned, it also depend what you have on or running in the background when your phone is on standby. I suggest you use task manager applications to kill unnecessary applications that might be running.
thanks guys
nope i have gps bluetooth and wifi turned off
i turned the background data off from settings
will try gettin task manager and see if it makes a diff!
thanks once again

Yes, are you by any chance downloading apps? Sometimes they hang and the download stops / continues lots of times. And when they complete your trackball flashes white.
ok thank mate i'll keep note of that!
I read a quite interesting post in the vodafone forum.
A user complained about the battery life of his HTC Magic. Check the answer from Wayne_Vodafone:
The HTC Magic employs a battery that requires overcharging and topup charging. You must charge it as much and as often as possible. The more you charge the better the battery life becomes. So after a few charges you should see the benefit of this. Letting the charge drain out undoes this so try and charge as often as possible

It actually seems to work. At least for me, try it for yourself.
I have to charge my HT-03A every night if I do not want it to die the next day. I am assuming that is why HTC gives you two batteries, because the battery goes so fast. As long as you are able to carry that second battery around with you, and be able to charge it every night, I don't really see a problem. But for it to go from 100% to 76% overnight means you are running programs that you do not need to. I will add that I have Wi-Fi continuously on, and my Contacts and Calendar are continuously synchronized. With barely any use I am usually at around 50% by the end of the day.

Pretty interesting, and that was an official vodafone response? Why wouldn't HTC say that in the first place? Will give it a go anyway...
Yeah, was a official Vodafone Response.
For me: I've loaded mine over night this morning, now its 19:26 and it's still over 85%. I used it for some SMS, receive a MMS and some WLAN.
ok guys thank u so much for the responses,im gonna give it a go too!
im using taskiller and defi my battery life has improved cause i keep killin the apps im not using
about the flashing trackball.......it still happens...no notifications.....
You never want to drain a Lithium-Ion battery. NiCd batteries have memory, in which it's better to drain them. But not Li-Ion. They will die quicker if you do
ok thanks xantonin.....
i charged my phone to 100%,then made a call for 41 min,battery went to 91%.
went to sleep immediately after that,woke up in morning with 1 missed call and 1 sms,after 8 hours......battery at 70%......thats not right is it?

That could be right.
Depends on what's running.
Where are you checking for 100%?
If you are charging until the green light comes on - that's 90%. The phone takes longer to charge passed 90% than it does to charge up to 90%.
I charged to 99%, and drove around with the GPS on for a few hours (about 2) and came back at about 75%.
However some days, when I charge my phone over night (true 100%), I can listen to music on my way to work (40 mins) on my phone, play with it a bit at work, and 3 hours later it will say 94%.
So, the battery is very touchy it seems...
Try turning off 3G (It's still pretty fast on 2G, try it for a day)
And also make sure GPS is off. Keep your brightness no more than 30%, and make sure WiFi is off. Make sure you don't have any widgets that connect online either.
You should get good standby time
Use apndroid to save battery life
Download apndroid from the Market. Use it to turn off the cellular internet before you go to bed and whenever else you want to save battery life.
There's also an app called Spare Parts in the Market that could help you. As well as giving information about your battery status and battery health, you can also see stastics of your application usage and battery history. A very useful app!
Plus it also enables other features like enabling fancy animations for the keyboard and screen rotation.

If you longpress the red phone button you can also enable "airplane mode" disabling any radio. Which helps your battery life too.

I was an idiot to trust this phone to wake me up.
I set Galarm yesterday night to wake me up today at 7:05AM. The battery read 27% (at 11:00PM, when I went to sleep). Using Galarm I set the phone to "Flight Mode".
The phone's battery run out during night and so I woke up late and was late to work.
I simply can't trust this phone to wake me up. One night the overnight drainge is only 3%, but the next night it's over 27%.
I don't understand what on earth could drain the battery so much if the phone is in standby and in flight mode...
Why not just plug it in overnight?
The battery indicator is essentially guesswork - you can't be exact other than when it's full or when it's empty. If it said my battery was at 27% I wouldn't trust it to last 8 hours, even in flight mode.
Last night at 11pm my battery was on 51%. I set my alarm to 7am using the HTC Sense alarm. It woke me up having only drained 4% over night. I didnt do anything special...it just worked.

When the phone is with me during day, if I don't use it, it hardly drops 1%.
I had the Kaiser and Diamond and Touch HD, and could always trust the battery indicator (that if it read 27%, it would easily last the night).

Yes, sometimes the overnight drainage is only 3-4% for me too. But then at other nights it goes crazy...
The bottom line is that it can't be trusted.
I will try to use BatLog overnight to figure out what causes the drainage.
I usually go to bed about 11pm and alarm I set at 6 am ; everymorning I noted the battery only drains about 5 % - I consider this as very good. If your battery drains a lot , you just have to check which programs are auto accessing internet to update - eg Weather, programs like Spb Traveller, RSS programs, Tweeter ( MoTweets, Twikini etc ) etc : disable all these unless you really need it

But the phone was at "Flightmode".... nothing could access the internet.
Hi all,
In my case the battery over night from 11PM till 8AM goes down with 3%. I monitorized for 4 night till now and the results are the same.
In my opinion is preatty ok this drain and is in normal parameters.
It might be that if goes more then 7% then somethings wrong and perhaps there are some app's running in background or the phone trying to access GPRS or something like that.
Regards,
Seba
I have the same problem. BUT only if battery is below 50% it drains to 0% over 7 hours! if it is >50% it drains only 3-5% over night. I have perfect network connectivity, set to GSM only, softreset before sleep, my location off, no internet connection. Nothing helped! Is the battery f**ked up or what is wrong with it?
Unlike the HD I have owned, my HD2 battery seems to drain very fast as well, Its like every hour it goes down 2%, from my experience, some brand SD card will also drain the power sharply.The microsd card I have used for my HD is a Sandisk class 2 16GB, and for the HD2, is an A-data class 6 16GB, so I am curious which micro sd card are you guys using? Lets see if this is the one of reasons..
Having used the phone for the last 10 days , i found that the internet acces and the vibration mode with ring is the mail culprit. having turned the internrt acces option to off , i was able to use the phone for more than 24 hrs without charge. also the bluetooth and the wifi options drain the battery extremely fast.
I installed the BSB 1.6 teak and have set both the "Power save" and "WiFi power save" to ON, and it looks like it has made a difference. I was charging the phone everyday until the BSB Tweak, now I'm day 2 and still have 28% battery.

Every hour 2%. This means only after 50 hours (more than 2 days) your phone is empty. I wish mine was.
well, If I leave my phone totally unused, no incoming phone calls, message, emails either.I believe it won't be booted after 50hours.
I have just fully charged it, and close my location service and weather auto-update, hope it will help to save the battery.
Good night,we'll see tomorrow.

i find that installing the 1% battery indicator as a tweak drained my battery 40% overnight. hope this helps
..
Over night(about 7hours),my hd2 battery drained to 64% from 99%,no background programme.
I do have the 1% battery indicator installed, but I don't think it makes difference, however, I will give it a try remove it, test again.
I have uninstalled the 1% battery indicator, and disactive flght mode, either works.
Since I had such problem before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606093, while charging the battery on AC power,the LED light is flashing（normally it should be a solid amber light),
I had drained my battery totally even the backup battery, then recharged it via usb on my pc.It charged very slowly to full, however it drains super fast.
I guess theres something worry with my battery, just waiting for the battery that I have ordered before Christmas.I hope it will be solved by replacing the battery.
Can you please post here if a battery replacemant solved the problem or not? Thanks in advance!

not really.1h using wifi audio stream over bluetooth headset cost me about 10-12 % battery.this is the best result i ever had. + + + .
for some odd reason my battery was drained out very fast, i mean fast....
i thought it was my battery but i guess its my phone....cuz i bought a new battery n it was at 60% n less than 3 min it was down to 6%....
is there a way to fix this or is my phone broken...
any help would be good....
thank you!!!
Enter *#*#4636#*#* in the dialpad, that brings you to a service menu. There, go to Battery History and select Partial wake usage. That shows you if you have some app installed that prevents the phone from sleeping.
Also, the battery needs to go through a couple of full charge-discharge cycles before it reaches it full capacity.
Hope that helps!
Was it hot?
Hi,
To dissipate that amount of energy in that time would make the unit very hot indeed.
Is the unit getting hot?
If not, then the energy wasn’t really there and it’s likely your battery is damaged/faulty and needs replacement.
Regards,
Paul.
The best advice i can give you is to find a widget that disables your data connection.
I used to have major battery drain. ie: Right after a charge, i only got 97%. By 10am, with almost no usage, im on around 68%.
Now, with data disabled (when not in use), i am still on 95% since i took it off charge at about 12am in the morning!

Can I ask you what widget you use for that? I'm facing the same problem: 94% right after recharge and rapid discharge after that.
Try "Data on demand", worked for me.
P.
data on demand is brilliant.. but I don't think that is the problem that the OP has experienced - no amount of data use would cause the battery to drain that quickly.. it's likely to be 1 of 2 things..
1. Faulty battery.
2. faulty app which is battering the processor and using 3g/wifi at the same time..
no the battery is not hot....my phone was working fine this 3 day ago....n now with the new battery is still the same.......
i also turn of everything on my phone n restart everything...with 0% this morning ....with my phone n now im back home im still at 23%.......is it virus?...but i scan my phone with this app from the market n its fine........
Timescape and Mediascape might be the cause
Hi, I had the same problem. I had to charge my phone three or four times a day. I read in a thread here that some people removed Timescape and got amazing improvements. I removed Timescape, Mediascape and other applications I don't need. Your phone must be rooted for removing these applications.
This night my battery dropped 3% in six hours. I now charge once a day and is happy with that.
Helps to mention to them any side effects of removing timescape n so forth..
Sent from my rooted 026 X10i using swype via XDA!!
Yeah, removing timescape and mediascape is a good idea, i also removed the phone dialer, and the browser because it was draining lots of battery, and also removed parts of the Android UI but figured it was still using some battery, so i now use the shell on minimum screen luminosity and always on plane mode !
Yes, you can mock about it, but both Timescape and Mediascape got replacment apps which are actually way more usable and gives me more than just a fancy user interface.
That is one of the good things about Android. I am not locked to any application.
Sorry to take over here but whats a good replacement for timescape? I've tried many phonebook apps and they all look horrible.
I would really like the HTC sense phoonebook any way i can get that?

I don't know about that but theres apps such as acontacts, takephone (something like that) n quickcall!

It happens to me once, from 92% to 36% in just under 6 minutes. Then draining very fast after that. I removed one application I installed (can't remember the exact name) and rebooted and it never happen again...
phone is dead now..........
wont charge!!!!
this suckx!!!!
wast of money!!!!!!
You need to take it back buddy - it's obviously faulty.
Dear all members,
I plug in the phone yesterday for charging and probably due to the charger was not plugged into the socket probably, it is not charging.
To my surprise, when I wake up in the morning, the battery was drained and shut off.
I try to charge the battery up but the charging seems a little slow now, is the battery faulty?
I can feel the back of the phone was hot though.
Definitely something wrong with my battery, I have been charging from morning till now and the battery never charges up to 22%, when it reaches 22%, it will drain out slowly even the socket is still connected.
I will have to bring my phone down for them to check.

Hello to you all!
I'm expiriencig an hudge battery drain since 2 days.
Normaly my battery last for arround 24h. Yesterday I'v unplugged my phone at 6.30AM and till 1PM (I'v made only one call appr. 5min and 3g was on all the time - no othe use!) the battery was gone...
The same in the afternoon and today... I don't remember if the phone ingetting preety warm durrin chargin cos I'm playing or seing tether durring chargeing or sleeping. Now with turned off everything the uper part of the phone (includeing camera and screen) is getting very warm! like durring long playing games with 3G....
I belive it all began with installing the google+ app... I'v just uninstalled it and chargeing the device (every things turned off and still hot...).
Will see if it was that, cos battery stats are ok and battery usage apps arent showeing nothin suspicious...
Any suggestions? I was runnig the sam ROM and config for a longer time without problems...
Ther's another thing I forgot to say - when I'm tryeing to charge the phone while it's on it's not chargeing - the battery get's drained even faster! for egz. when it's 15% charged after 15mins under charger its 4%!!!
To know what's causing the Awake when screen is off, install Better Battery Stats and see under Wakelocks. Confirm if it is G+ or anything else.

Will charge it durring the night and than will wait till it's nearly gone....
It got better i think - without 3G the drain is bearly there but with 3G on it's bad... It wasn't like that before...
Could it be that installing the google+ app it activated kinda sys updates or similar?
