Im having issues with my battery life.
I woke up for work at 7am - came back at 4pm- during that time ive spoken on the phone for about 30mins, no interent, no wifi, no bluotooth. and thats it.
on batti it is saying 50% left.
Someone mentioned that batti drains the battery- anyone know whether this is confirmed or not
i use batti to and i disconnected my phone from the computer about 20 hrs earlier, still 80% left.
also i have been using it quit much today.
Nothing to do with Batti, but today my battery pretty much died. I turned it off and it wouldn't turn on anymore. It's charging now tho.
Thing is, I have music on from 8am til around 6pm at work. Usually it drains about 60-70%, which is ok, but not today. Maybe because I now use Pocket Player or maybe because I had Activesync running on background doing not much at all. The latter is notorious for draining the battery. With that said, see if you have activesync running. Good thing is always to close unused programs as they will drain unwanted power.
Only thing ive found so far that sucks the life out of my battery, without even using it, is MS voice control.
I have installed it, found battery life halfed, uninstalled it, hard reset, and installed again. battery life halved, again.
So, if you are using that app, i would suspect it as the guilty party.
I also use Batti. have had it on the phone for nearly 2 months, and have absolutely no problem with it at all.
From my experience, yes. When i had batti installed, for some reason i had really crappy battery life. Once i uninstalled the app, my battery went back to being great.

Put "Vistahide Battery Gauge" shortcut (or whatever is it) in startup folder in windows directory
I'm growing tired of this, my battery is having some real issues holding a porper charge, it's been charging all night then at 9:30ish I took it off and now it's 68%! All I've done is uninstalled a light program and made 4 txt messages.
It's been like this for a while (1 or 2 weeks) with the battery not even lasting a proper day.
Is there a bettery health program I can download to ensure it's not faulty? Also I'm using Miri's 6.5 v19 without Manilla if that helps. Thanks guys.
Looks like something is draining it fast. I noticed that my alarm wasn't waking me up because the phone had turned off overnight due to the battery being drained. I had set MemMaid and PPCPimBackup to come on during the night and having turned off the latter it made no difference so I turned off MemMaid too. Now my battery remains charged for the morning...I suspect MemMaid was keeping the phone in the power-on mode.
So just check there is no power-hungry program running in the background.
My battery used to it too but hardreset slove that problem.
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. + + + .
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?
How is this possibile? (mahdri ROM with HellsDoctor kernel)
Have you got halo/lockscreen notif pocket mode enabled? If yes, then that's not strange at all seeing how you don't use your phone much. Those features drains some battery life through systemui.
Does the notification system drain battery even if there isn't any notification?
Can be..because it's always running. And it had high percentage because none other things were using the battery much. If you use your phone more, then screen will definitely used more battery than systemui. I usually get 50-60% for screen. Systemui not much cause I am not using halo/pocket mode. But then, maybe you can try a clean flash. Could be a result of a bad flash too.

Thank you I solved this problem! I switched off the notification on lockscreen and now screen is about 40%.
But my battery life is always very bad... 1% for 1 minute onscreen. Do you think is a battery or a software issue?
Thanks in advance

Nice. Btw, lockscreen notif doesn't drain much. It's the pocket mode in lockscreen notif that is. Try to do a battery recalibration and install better battery stats to see what apps/things that are causing any wakelocks. It's the best way to troubleshoot battery problems.
