Hey everybody ..
I bought myself a nice o2 xda mini s .. ... i'm really hapy with it .. at first I had some trouble changing the rom .. 'cause i have a G4 chip .. but thanks to risidoro's step by step guide i managed to do it .. (THANKS RISIDORO)
My only problem now is that my battery life lasts not even a whole day .. when i use the ppc as a normal user .. lets say .. about an hour of talking . maybe some gaming ... a litlle music .. internet once in a while .. I'm already on 20 - 25 % ... I thought it might be my battery .. so I tried the whole uncharging .. charging to full thing .. but useless ..
I saw some 2400 mhamp .. batteries on ebay .. does anyone use them ??
do you have the same problem ??
any Guru I seek your wisdom ..
I had the same battery life issue after upgrading the ROM. However, it only lasted a few days.
I found that keeping my phone on the charger at night to keep it fully charged for when I was away from home solved the issue in about a week. Every day before heading home from work, it seemed my battery life would increase by about 5% over the "almost dead" battery the first couple of days after the upgrade.
Now -- 2 weeks later -- when I leave work at the end of the day, my battery meter shows that I still have 80% - 85% battery life left. (But I still keep it on the charger overnight -- every night)
Just make sure you keep the battery "topped off" in order to avoid the issue. It WILL come back up. It just takes a few days to get there right after upgrading.
It also depends on what software/plugins you run. E.g., I ran PhoneAlarm for 24 hours, and in 4 hours it drained 80% of my battery. <uninstall>
Something doesn't sound right with your battery. I have my K-JAM for 9 months now and during a typical work day I can:
1. Play audio over BT A2DP for 1:30 HRs
2. Surf the web
3. Retrieve emails
4. Read avantgo
When I get into work I am at 90% battery. Keep in mind that I am also Overclocked at 221 mhz! I also have my K-JAM loaded to bear with sbp pocket plus, MS VC, GsPocketMagic, Pocket/Contact Breeze, Pocket Weather, and SmartsKey.
During the weekend I can go all day using the phone periodically connected to my BT headset (non stereo) and get home with 60-70% battery life.
'Double battery' from ebay
Hi Silvernrg,
I had the original battery for a while.. it lasted from 1 day to 1.5 days depends on usage and how many phone calls I had.
I found a battery on ebay which is 2350mAh (almost double?) which comes with a new back cover (or a door) for the wizard.
Yes, the device looks more bulky now but the nice thing is - I get to use the wizard now for something between 3-3.5 days without recharge. It is critical for me since many times I'm on the road in business trips and I don't want to pull out the charger in all the countries I visit (I already forgot my charger one time in one of the hotels...).
I paid about $16 for the double-battery on ebay and it was sent to me from Hong-kong (to the US) quite quickly (I don't remember the ebay seller but if you can't find one on ebay, I'll dig into the history and find the seller).
hhmmm i also just recently acquired a dopod 838 a variant of htc wizard. when i 1st bought it in singapore i dun hav access to a computer so i jus install wat ever i can to the device using my eten and an mini to sd card adapter. i didnt use phone alarm then and battery life was fantastic with music and wifi and sms and calls. now that everytin is installed including phone alarm 1.52 my fone stays at the top 100% for long time then drains very2 fast after. so far i havent let it go down below 50%(only once). i got an the today overclocker and the omap but i only use it if i play games. movies with wmv lags no matter if i use tcmp or windows media and overclocking wont helps. avi is fine though. dunno if this is normal but im really convinced that stock wizard out of the box will last a whole heaps longer than customised with apps wizard. i havent upgraded my rom yet. it comes with 2.21 IPL and SPL and im really confused with the posted instruction on how to upgrade and dun want to turn it into a brick. will upgrading it to 2.24(is that the recent rom) helps battery life to be better or worst? what extra stuff it have over 2.21? i dont want to lose the extended rom as it got the australian customisation. i already got a2dp using the reg hack and the tornado.cab. quality is not that great. so sticking with the standard headset which is great.
Hi,
I was using wizard for almost 3 years and never had any problem with battery life, it could last 1 day of heavy usage.
But with elfin p3452, the battery goes like of 1 minute call 3% battery decreases, if i will talk about 30 minutes my whole battery will get empty, i dont know the solution for this.
Can it be a radio rom related issue, or flashing to new roms will solve the problem?? Any idea

How old is your elfin? And how old is your battery? I'm assuming you've already tried all the default things to conserve battery power right?
1. Clearing receive beams
2. Keeping bluetooth off unless required
3. Make sure wifi is not connected
4. Keep backlight at level 2 brightness (recommended)
5. Make sure all programs are set on X to close. Make sure nothing's running in the background
If your battery dips 3% in 1 minute, I'd be tempted to take it to the HTC service rep and get it checked out. It's definitely not supposed to be doing that. Could be a faulty battery. Though I'm not sure how knowledgeable the reps are in Mumbai coz they sure as hell suck in Hyderabad. lol.
hi‚ i hav just purchased‚ though it is second hand‚ 1 yr old. I hav charged the phone yesterday whole night and now after 12 hrs minimal use only phone calls and little internet it is 40%. can you tell me wat mA it is using‚ mine is 200 mA (battery status)‚ with wizard it use to be at 20-30 mA
Well, why not get a original HTC Battery and test it out.
Borrow one from your friends for a day and test it out!
Guys,
just bought my X1i last week. One of the my reason to buy this phone, because some "people" said that the battery can last up to 4 days on regular use.
So I'm just curious about how long does your X1 battery last. Mine, it can barely last 2 days, most of the time, I have to charge it everyday, so I can use the phone for the next day.
Please post your answers below and also mention the rom you used at this moment. Just want to know, if there is any correlation between versions of rom used and battery life. I used stock generic UK R3A.
Also if anyone knows how to save your X1 battery, please also post it below...
Thanx and regards,
liemivan
i have touchx 10.2 and if i dont use internet just normal stuff it last 5 days... if i start using wifi/edge about 2 days...
I'm havin the same problem. Battery just lasts one day. I turn off the internet by turning off the data connection switch in com manager but still no dice. Is there a battery checker to see if u have a bad battery?
I used to charge my X1 every day, at least every second (when I didn't use it that much).
But since I did the Biotouch.exe trick, I'm able to run about 3-4 days with "normal" usage (most time online, permanent checking mails, etc).
Just search for the thread Biotuch.exe. It's about 3 pages back.
R3, 5 days in standby @ home, using it to call during about 10' per day. Otherwise @ work (phone 20 - 30' per day, and 15 - 20' surfing on the web by UMTS) 3 days then I charge it as I am at 20 percent.
Beware of the UMTS coverage, if the coverage is not excellent, you'll use your battery very quick (so if no 3G used, set is as GSM instead of Auto in Phone - Settings - Band).
Pay attention to the software you install, it can change from 3 days to a simple day if the software is not optimized (for example it's a nightmare with SPB Mobile Shell 3).

I don't know really. Take yesterday for example:
I unplugged it from the charger in 9:00 then after 5 calls, 30 mins of music playback, 15 mins of wi-fi and 15 mins of playing games the battery was dead in 15:00 . That's only 6 hours......
I don't care anymore though. I bought a second battery and I'm happy again .
My battery lasts about 5 or 6 hours, simply had to buy a second charger and keep at work. Would leave home around 5:30 a.m. fully charged. Bluetooth is always on from then to about maybe 8a.m. or 9a.m. Listeing to audio podcasts or audio books. Screen at full brightness, always have the 3G connection on. Couple hundred text msgs to go through, along with clicking on links as needed to go to the websites linked in them. And SkyFire to read the Wall Street Journal for maybe 30 mins.
X1am, ROM: 1.02.948.8 with a date of 09/17/08.
about 2 - 3 days depending on use (more calls on some days lowers battery alot)
My power Xperiences so far
Overall the power consumption and power mgmt of the Xperia is quite bad, having been an XDA user for years.
The power button puts the phone into standby, so some apps keep running and drain the battery, when you think it is not consuming. Eg GPS.
Last week my phone would drain within one day, even on standby. I checked for any running apps and I had Closed All, but drain continued a second day after full recharge.
The only way to get it back to some level of normaility was to do a Soft Reset. This must have stopped the culprit process which was draining power ???
When the power drains to its lowest level, it puts the phone into a virtual dead state. It requires some time charging before it even powers up again. This is not an elegant way to power manage.
Wow... judging from the answers here, it is very strange to see how the battery life can be very differ from one to another. One can only last for 5 to 6 hours, while others can last for up to 3 to 5 days.

Did you turn off the 3G network and let the phone work on gsm network only? 5 days with normal stuff is a blast...

I guess that maybe the cause, since the umts network around here is not so good... I'll check that later and let you know if it is the cause...

I guess it is because of if you used all your battery power, you will also drain the backup battery (you can check the backup battery status by using the apps "batty"), so it will take a while to charge the backup battery first before charging the main battery. This is only a guess...
What Backup Battery??? The thing that shows up in Batti is for phone with a backup battery I guess... but NOT for the X1. There is no such thing that can show up in Batti. On mine it shows just an empty bar.

why would i have it on when my operator doesnt even support 3g course it was off no data connection also... my battery goes down 10-20% a day when i just use it for music and some sms...
Mine lasts about ~6 hours talk time at 3G.
~3-4 Days when i use talk ~30 minutes / day.
Only lasted a few hours with the original Rom.
Flashed to Smabergs Touch X 10.0, battery lasted ~1 day, and then with 10.1 it got improved to 3-4 days.
Which is enough. Thank you Smaberg!
My battery last from 9AM to uhm 3PM yes that's for 6 hours of use (I have SPB Mobile 3.0.1 running and WCX ROM Windows 6.5). RAM running from 60-95% of usage LOLOLOL but yeah I have my FB, Skype, Windows Media, MSN, etc. running and it runs SUPER slow at times that I have to take the batt out.
I'm gonna flash the ROM again to a battery friendly ROM if available (the way I'm using it right now is not very economy friendly).

Touch X is all that you want, and will ever need.
hye,
I just bought a HTC leo which I really love.
but there is just one thing I'm concerned about, the battery life.
with my htc touch pro 2 I was able to use my phone 2 days before recharging but I can't do that with the htc HD2
IS THERE A WAY TO IMPROVE BATTERIE LIFE?
thanx
use less of your phone the hd2 drains the battery and is very good at that.
Or you buy another spare battery to switch with the exausted one when you're on the go, they're pretty cheap on ebay with a mains charger
only tips, would be turn all you're updates off, i.e, email, weather, twitter, stocks etc. screen brightness, not much else really, i get a full day out of my battery with everything turned on and full screen brightness so im happy
switch off 3G whenever there is no need for it, best is using a tool like wmlonglive to do this automatically. Will improve the battery live especially if signal strength is changing often between 2G and 3G
don't use windows live push mail, it will improve your battery dramatically
edward
my HD2 just takes 30 minutes to drop from 100% to 70 % .....
from the bottom of my heart , i want to say , htc fone ..... not good as they say ,
crap
battery drinker
just after some games , it hots ...............
will change other fone ,
I do not have a problem with the phone. it lasts me 2-3 days depending on where i am. thus depending on phone signal strength.
Further when you want to improve battery life look at the treads about that. there are so many with so many suggestions. quite a few have improved my battery dramatically. search and try.
@Felix
Are you using a Stock-ROM?
When yes, then install atleast BsB-Tweaks and activate the powersaving settings ... (the most cooked roms already have this settings)
It will bring some extra minutes/hours
My HD2 (fully loaded over night) is at 77% after 8 hours and some phone calls (ca. 30 minutes), sms and some gaming and surfing
@enchanter
yes, it drains the battery pretty good and yes its becoming hot when you play games or stuff ... but what is the problem with it?
We all knew this - before we bought a HD2
ha ha , Pliskinius has the coolest answer
" what is the problem with it?
We all knew this - before we bought a HD2 "
u right man ,
@ pliskinius: I don't know what a stock rom is... it is the rom who was installed when I bought it.
my battery lasts one day and a bit, so there is not really a big problem, but when you go somewhere and forget your charger...
@enchanter: I'm really pleased with my htc, its my 6 or so and they become nicer and nicer..

Try this fully drain the battery until the phone shuts down then take out the battery for two minutes,put the battery back in (DO NOT TURN ON THE PHONE) and charge until the green light comes on, take out the battery for another two minutes then put it back in and start up, this should improve battery life.
Also other factors affecting battery life are the Rom version,Radio and HSPL.
nice idea @nosh - will try it too ... maybe it brings some extra minutes
@Felix
you are using a stockrom (stockroms are the original ones, wich are installed when you pick up a new phone)
get this little tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305 and activate the energysaving feature (will improve the battery life)
@ nosh 10: I'll try that thanks, but I heard that fully draining your battery is not a good thing.
@ pliskinius: haha, yeah I know I don't know a lot about WM
Laurentius26 ROMs get an excellent battery life. I get 2 days without deactivating anything. And everything works perfectly and smoothly. I have the 2.10.50.26 radio ROM and the Laurentius26 GoldEdition V2.0 Spike™ WWE 21899. Can last up to 2.5 to 3 days by deactivating 3G. I download weather every 3 hours, tweets every 4 hours, e-mail every hour. Then I make phone calls about 15 minutes per day, sms 10 to 20, pictures about 10, surf with Opera about 30 minutes per day. Remember also to close all unused applications (for me the best task manager is the Touch X manager that is on Xperia X2, lets you choose between short click on the cross to minimize the app and long click on the cross to close the app).
Edit : It's now 15:50. Was 100 % yesterday evening by 22:00. Now it's 73 % left. But I only used my phone since that time to make a countdown for cooking at lunch time.
I'm currently in Japan, using phone on 3G, very little use, listen to some music daily (30 min) and play around an hour. I'm getting 3 days easily without a charge and could easiy stretch to 4 days.
Back in my country I disable 3G and use only 2g with auto updates on every 3 hours, no email push no twitter whatsoever, just weather updates. During the night the battery drains down by 15% and with normal usage I'd have to charge daily.
15% during the night with maybe 2 updates during the night and data connection disabling just after a few minutes shouldn't drain the battery by that much. Dunno, but I'm pointing my fingers towards 2g.
I'm no expert, actually I'm far from that, but could it be that 2g uses more power from the phone?
Without any usage at all, here in Japan, I hardly get a 10% battery drain in 24hrs compared to 15% during the night back in my country.
Maybe new comm chips Edge eats more than 3G as all the phones are now optimized for 3G, I wouldn't be surprised at all.
But one thing is sure : if you have bad 3G coverage or bad quality signal, it really drains your battery. Only way to avoid this : disable 3G and you phone will stop changing from Edge to 3G or HDPDA several times per minute.
I'm using WMLonglife, and I've set it to 3g only. Now I have no idea if here in Japan they have HSDPA or Edge or if the software is keeping the phone on 3g, but I haven't seen the phone changing from 3g even when the reception went down to 1 bar.
But i'm pretty impressed with the battery life at the moment. Pity i won't have the same battery life back home.
Hi guys, I have my omnia 7 for less then a week now and I found it's battery life terrible, the worst performance ever. It drys off in less then a half of day with general use. I fill the battery to 100% over the night and then I wake up in the morning at 5.30am and when I'm back from school sometimes it's allmost empty, sometimes is at about 20% with a usage of About 15 mins of gaming, some browsing/facebook.. few calls and sms and an hour or two of music playback.
I have wifi, bluetooh, push mail, feedback and locations off. Have also been reading on the social.answers microsoft forum about that and there were different tought. I'm wondering how is it with yours.. is it REALLY this bad or it is something wrong with my phone/battery. I don't want to take it back if all are like this as it will be at least one week on service.

mine is on par with any other smartphone ive owned. i can get 24 hours out of it comfortable. thats with about 30 mins calls, 15-20 sms, 30-40 mins gaming, wifi, bluetooth, location & feedback all turned on, windows live & facebook hourly sync & 5 email accounts syncing between every hour & every 2 hours. i have noticed battery life seems to suffer when i use last.fm over HSDPA so maybe its something related to music playback. but even with 3-4 hours of last.fm im still getting 13-14 hours.

ok thank you guys for reply.. I'm deffinetly taking it back for a replacement on monday.
It could be some app running under the lock screen draining your battery, like a game or Last.fm... other than that, yeah, sounds like a replacement is in order

Nothing running in background. anyway I'll take it back in monday and ask them for a replacement if not, I'll have to wait a week or two to get it back from repair service... trought I hope to get it back till new year.
Maybe consider just buying a new battery?
you should definitely ask for a new battery first, before sending it to service. In the end all is made in China... P.s. My bat. lasts the same as descibed by the others. 1-1,5 day...

Thanks, I'll see what it can be done..
my omnia7 leasts longer than my galaxys with data and email sync .. so no problem
Ok I was at my carrier and they said that the phone needs to be send on service (no replacement options) so I'll probobly send it after new year.
But I notice that when I'm at home (I live about 7-8km out of the city) my battery last muuuuuch longer, actually enugh for what I expect - 2h of music, about 2h web and of market browsing (connected to home wifi + mobile data enabled connected on 3g+ full signal) and when I'm in school (city centre) it drys my batery much faster. Today after 3h with 20min of music and 5 min of web browsing it fell on less than 50% and few hours later on -20% and then it turned off. (same if connected to school wifi or just 3g+ also with full signal)... I really don't get it .
And many of my school mates have the same carrier but don't have any of this problem... might it be somekind of carrier transmitor selectnig bug with windows phone 7 or what ?
Things to note - browsing with WiFi requires less power than browsing over 3G - 3G browsing will suck out your battery a lot faster. (The phone will not use your mobile data connection if you're over WiFi) Also, depending on the lighting conditions, your screen auto brightness will probably also have your screen on a lower brightness setting in your house.
That, and I don't really recommened using your phone as your primary Music/Video palyer if you're serious about battery life - that does a good job of sucking your battery too, and you'll ntoice most of the people getting good battery life aren't really using it as their primary media player.
actually I tested it with using at home with same settings (brightnes to low, wifi/3g off/on) and I can see that when I'm in the city centre it sucks the battery in only few hours with data connection on and not connected to wifi so I assume that my operator wich recently updated it's network did something wrong as my school mates have noticed this too but none of them isn't using a smartphone on this network so it isn't so obvius. I temporary solved the problem with turning off data connection when I'm in the centre and turning it on only when I need it and when I'm out of the centre.
I also noticed my battery life sucked when I had the official twitter application installed on it.
Today I left it charging for 8 hours on my laptop and the battery meter barely moved, I removed Twitter and hey presto it started to charge properly.
Back to Beezz and now all is ok

Apps don't run in the background so it is pretty much impossible for twitter to be draining your battery if it is not open.
Maybe it was just a coincidence but as soon as I removed this app my battery started to charge.
Unless it was a one off issue with charging over usb.
my batterylife is the best ive ever had in a smartphone ... i need a custom rom on my galaxy s with android to get close to the batterylife of my omnia 7 ... i am using hsdpa with the same provider on both phones permantly and im syncing emails with them ... even with gaming (sims 3 or nfs underground) the windows phone least longer.

Not at all. There could me a memory leak in the .NET/silverlight runtime - even Microsoft developers make mistakes
Tbh, I have the Twitter app installed also and my battery life is as good as can be expected with a modern smartphone: 1.5 days heavy use (Music, Twitter, Facebook, web browsing & constant SMS/e-mail)
may I ask somebody for a favor ? Under the diagnosis (call ##634#) type *#2*# (battery diagnosis) and please check what does it say on the third screen at the last line "Result". For me it's "Pass/Fail". Might this "fail" mean it's something wrong with the battery ?
PS. after dialing ##634# a shortcut for diagnosis will show up in the apps menu... just delete it if you don't need it.
And to get to the third screen use the big arrow on the top =)
