hey
so i updated my x10 like 5 days ago?
firmware is 024 2.1
and it was supposed to increase battery life, but now its decreased.
a month ago i got like 1.5-2 days with casual use (angry birds, browser, wi-fi, lots of music)
now i get like 1 day exactly with little to no browser, no angry birds, 2-3 hrs of music, and 3g, gps, and bluetooth turned off.
and for some reason the phone restarts a lot at night but NEVER during the day, and last night i lost 33% of my battery and i didn't use my phone wtf...
anyone else have this problem?
oh and i have stock firmware, unrooted, nothing done to it.
battery seems normal, yeah you can loose 50%+ in one night
hmmm I'd try to reinstall the fw, might work, you can always use the flash tools from xda forum

i tried billions of batterys + new ones and my g1 dies after 3-4 hours of use i use CM 4.2.3.1 and also i have tried to use overclock widget and make everything not to go over 246 and still any idea why?
It's something to do with Cyanogen's Rom. I flashed (by accident admitidly) the Dev Rom (from htc.com) and then for some reason it removed my recovery image so I couldn't flash back to cyanogen and didn't have time to sort it out today.
I only had to charge once, using my portable motorola charger thing, for about 30 minutes, the whole day. It's lasted around 15 hours. On Cyanogen's roms I was averaging around 4-5 hours. I was web browsing a lot too (had a long coach journey there and back with no headphones)
That's strange, i was getting 2-3 hours using standard G1 (after updating to Donut 1.6). I'm now on 4.2.3.1 and battery life has greatly increased!!!! Although i am using overclock widget as well... But it does come down when browsing a lot..
Battery life is a real pain in the ass for me too, I was on the Cyan train but I jumped to a soul life build and on a day of light usaged I have gotten a full 24+ hours off a single charge, and on heavy use 6-8 hours before it turns orange.
But
I disable "Always on-mobile Data" and typically am on Edge/2g networks since I don't really care to use the auto refreshing browser much.
I've played with it a lot.
Loaded a lot of widgets
3g
2g
Always on data
etc etc etc.
I would go back to Cyan but I'm sure he doens't have these features [always on mobile]
But mind you it's a 1.5 build I'm on.
iam sure them options are now integrated in the latest release but 2-3 hours is major strange i would look towards a problem with the battery or the charger perhaps?

I know that if you remove the batterystats.bin file while the phone is plugged in your battery life will be extemely short. Plug it in and charge to 100% and then unplug and remove the batterystats.bin file through the terminal. If that doesnt work ,then you might need a new battery.
For the record ,i have very good battery life on CM roms, over 12 hours with medium usage, so dont blame the rom.
I recently unrooted my phone, went back to the original: image, spl, and radio. I noticed that my battery drained real quick on the old radio. I installed cyan's 4.2.4, Danger SPL, and the 2.22.19.26I, and with this configuration I'm lasting 1-2 days on idle. (Oh, I'm also using setpu ramping from 128-528mhz).
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
Hello all,
I've had my EVO for about 2 months so far. I've notice just like everybody that the battery life sucks to hades. I've rooted the phone since then.
1st problem) Maybe it's me or it's a problem no one addressed yet, The phone will start getting hot when it is in standby mode. When the back light goes out it gets hot. I've check to see if there were any wild or un-needed services running and there isn't, and its not like McDonald's Coffee hot but very very warm to the touch. And when it does that the battery life starts at 100% and ends at 20% within 40 minutes.
2nd problem) I've installed two programs in which I've deleted since the time it happen. A Super User Permission app, the one that's gray and has the jolly roger look to it. The next one is Juice Defender. I notice the problem after I installed them that the phone will start restarting itself like every 3 or 5 minutes. I'll be in the middle of a phone call and it would go blank and restart. The only time I notice it doesn't do it is when I connect it to the computer while I have debug on and when I do a hard restart in which I pulled the battery out. The battery trick only lasts for about half a day. I installed those apps 4 days ago, both at the same time.
My phone info is:
Software #
1.32.651.1
Firmware version:
2.1-update1
please help!!!! it's driving me up the wall.
I'm no expert but it sounds like a rogue app to me. If my phone were doing that i would wipe it and start from scratch.
Just my thoughts.......

Try updating to one of the rooted 2.2 Froyo ROMs. Be sure to do a full wipe (data, cahe, dalvik-cache) before installing a new ROM, unless otherwise instructed. You're running an old software version of Eclair (current Froyo is 3.26.651.6). I've received considerably better battery life since the update to Froyo, especially with a custom ROM and custom kernel. I personally run both SetCPU and Juice Defender with no problems or any overheating issues.
Mostly it sounds like you have something locking your CPU usage at 100% which would explain the heat and battery drain. I suspect you may be having software conflicts using the old OS version. Do a Nandroid backup before flashing a different ROM so that you can rollback to your exact setup you currently have if you do not like the results of the updated ROMs.
And by all means, DO NOT flash an unrooted stock Froyo ROM (or take any OTA update). There still is no method to root that.
Yeah I have been debating the whole wipe the phone and start with the 2.2 OTA and wait till they root that. This is driving me mad, cause it's seems it knows when I need it the most. When I'm at the house it last and stay up like a champ, when I leave it starts acting up.
Which leaves me with the question how do you save the apps on your phone?

Appbrain is a good way to manage apps. Any paid apps should still show up in your downloads section of the market after a hare reset. I have no battery problems with the ota 2.2 patiently waiting root. Don't know if I'll root when they do figure it out because its pretty stable with decent battery life for me.

So today is Day Two since I changed the ROM. I have notice alot has changed, some things are new, and some things are working that never work before. It's like having a new phone all over again. LOL
I also use the instructions in the thread about battery life
Edit: I can't link it due to new user access. But its in the General fourm.
15 hours and I haven't plugged it up yet to recharge it yet I still have 60% left on the battery. I made 8 phones calls that lasted 2 mins and more, plus ran the music app and more.
I want to thank you guys for your help
Do you getting more then24 hours on a stock battery?
Do you keep 3g on and always connected checked?
You have to be a real light user
No sir.... by no means I'm I a light user. As I stated I use my phone pretty heavy and that was only day two that I done that.
Yes....I now get more then 24 hours out of the stock battery.
At 7am I unplug and jet out to work. I use my phone as a MP3 player for the car. 30 minute drive to and from. When at work I play games and make random phone calls for 9 hours of the day. SN: I'm doing my job also When I leave work I go to my gf's house which has no signal out there. I use to have to put it on Airplane Mode to save the battery. Now I just leave as is without changing it.
Total time using the phone in 24 hours: 14 hours
Times I charged my phone in 24 hours: 0
Battery Percent in 24 hours after 14 hours of use: 45%
Longest hours since unplugged: 2d 2h 4m 10s with a 50% life left.
Yes I keep my 3G on. I turn my GPS off and Background Data, Set the weather app or widget to update every 6 hours (Why would you need to know the weather every hour on the hour, Just press update when you open the weather app) along with other things I don't need running while I'm at work or even not using them.
This is with the OMJ Froyo 2.2 Rom update. The phone is still running smooth and as it should (in my opinion)
One minor but major problem to some I wish they would fix.
Multi-touch though out the whole phone. The Droid X, Incredible, and Nexus 1 has it.
Why can't we have it. I would be so happy if we can get that.
Upgraded to 2.3.3 on Thursday night, chose not to do a factory wipe so that I didn't have to reinstall apps etc. Since then I have had to charge the battery twice and have lost 50% battery in last 10 hours (whilst not using phone).
Is anyone else experiencing this problem ?
50% in ten hours doesnt seem that bad to me?
i use mine at work listening to music via BT headfones
make calls here n there and on my break times go on net and play games
and when i come home from work im on about 50% batt level
Nope updated in the morning after around 12 hrs I got 38% left

You obviously missed the "whilst not using the phone" bit. 50% after a days use with BT on etc I would be more than happy with.
This was without using the phone at all, no Bluetooth, no GPS, no music playing it was just sitting on a table, untouched.

I have updated and have not noticed this problem. Phone 100% battery went to bed. Got up this morning 8 hours later and battery 98%.
What is in the running apps menu? Do you have a task killer? they have been known to rape batterys when auto killing. The update was supposed to have improved battery usage so this is strange.

No task killers, not found them necessary for a long time.
I agree this update is supposed to improve battery life, which is why I was a bit surprised to see it eating it's battery like my old X10 did on 1.6 when I first got it.
Crispyduckling, I thought it was playing with something else that made you go blind
yes but i dint really want to go into that on here
i usually save that sort of topic for spankers monthly ...ahem
Ive had my phone for 3 weeks and its been rooted since day one. I use my phone in the same way day to day but my battery is over the place.

Messenger is your problem if you weren't using it. Was there an update to it recently? My GF complained of battery drain on her G5 this morning and messenger was running crazy.
Wouldn't I have awful battery everyday than? I have bad day followed by Good day.
There is another thread here. A few of us are expecting this lately. And I think it's safe to conclude that Facebook is the one responsible for these battery drain. Try uninstalling and disabling it. Both Facebook and FB messenger.
I uninstalled it and recharged. I'm still losing crazy amounts of battery. I lost 10% in an hr with the phone sitting in my pocket and now the screen won't rotate anymore.
on the tmo/918 variant and experienced this as well starting this morning - slow charging, high battery drain, phone being overly hot. uninstalled both FB and messenger, cleared cache, and so far things seem to be back to normal...
