My hd2 is losing almost 10 % per hour. If i use wifi to update weather etc in sence it may lose 5% in under 5 minutes~!!
I am sure that is coming from a bad app i am using, causing battery drain!!
Please help, any ideas which it may be??
I have installed both free apps and apps i had bought for my hd as well.
Resco explorer
Fingerkeyboard 2.1
gfreek F_Brians tskbar v5.a (many say that taskbar cause also bat troubles..)\
Pim backup
Resco contact manager

core player
mosko mobi fim
marketplace
skyfire
wvd
midomi
million dollar pocker
PPC visuals Dusk showcase1.0.1b (because hd2 dont have task manager where i want it to be!)
Thats all!! All installed into main memory..(and of course most of them not active as task never! - only apps that running like taskbar, task manager, resco etc..)
ANY IDEAS WHAT TO TRY??
What I would do in your situation it would be to do a hard-reset and check if the situation keeps the same. If not, I would start to install apps one by one and check which one is doing that.
If i cant find any other solution, yes ill do that. But i want to go the other way round, and simply by unistalling find the problem.
The truth is though that the first 24 hours that i had my hd as stock (no apps, not even my contacts) and only the sence configured the battery was still draining fast..And with little usage i lost 40% in about 5 hours..Still far away from the battery tests from our friend xmoo here in xda..
Other users experience???? Please post here so we can check!
I too am experiencing fast battery drain. Only used for about1 hour and already 77% left.
I am wondering.... if anyone who is experiencing fast drain did not charge their phone for a good few hours upon receipt or if it was used while charging for first time.
in the modaco hands-on review, Paul said his battery improved after a few depletion/charging cycles
Hi all ! How should we do it corectly? Is there a plan? 3 charges of 12 h after complete discharge or something like that?
Thank you in advance !
i don't have the answer but can confirm great battery life. I plugged mine in immediately when i got it and left it plugged i over night. To my surprise, i am getting the best battery live of any htc product ive owned (and that's a lot lol) with pretty substantial use. Now the difference between you and me may be 3g. I live in the states and don't get 3g, also i set mine to gsm only. Maybe try gsm only for a few hours?
I've also turned off auto brightness and have it on the lowest setting most of the time, as it's enough for me and helps get the most out of the battery.
the correct way to get the battery in best possible shape
before first use...charge over night
..then use untill battery is completely empty...
...then load over night again (that means about 10 hours)
you do that 10 times in a raw and your battery will be in the best possible shape. From there, you don't have to do the extremes every time but at the beginning it takes about 10 full charging circles for the battery to use its full potential.

thats complete bull**** on litium ion batteries.
Li-ion doesn't need to do the full charging cicles and deplete the 100% of the battery will damage the battery.
My experience with the HD2 battery is great: I get two to three days with one chargecycle. I have set the networktype on GSM and not on Auto.. I think this helps.

this is the only way I can ever get my handsets to go more than one day! Fine for emails / calendar sync, not so handy for browsing/maps though!
What I do with my mobiles is:
When I open it, I use it till the battery is completly over;
Charge the mobile during 10/12 h;
Then use the mobile normally and charge it whenever I want;
After 1 month, I let the battery get completly drained and then do another full charge.
Altough is LI-ON battery and it has no memory, it's necessary to do a "full" recharge from time to time to "calibrate". Don't know if it's really like that, but it's what I've been doing and it works great for me.
I HAVE 3G ENABLED ALL THE TIME,AND WHEN I GOT THE PHONE I BEGAN USING IT ASAP WITG THE CHARGER ON, TILL 100 percent! Writing from thd phone noe as it... charges!51 percent with almost no usage the last 7 hours! Maybe i ll try the full drain thing! Just to check!
ps. also the typing expirience sucks for me.does the aling screen option works in this kind of screen!?
How's the reception in your area? I had a phone that during night, with only GSM network, drained 30% in my home. But in other areas, 1/2% only.

1) let it charge overnight (8hr+), phone off, straight from socket not through pc usb
2) fully drain the battery then fully recharge. repeat for 2-3 times
3) try flight mode (if there is one), let it idle for 1 hour or more. any drain?
4) go through settings and switch off periodic updates (activesync, weather, email). any drain?
5) remove questionable program(s) and see if it helps
6) worst case scenario, hard reset and check if battery usage is back to normal. then install one program at a time

that's the best way to destroy battery. it is a li-ion: first time it's importante to have fast charge.
wot i do is:
-fast charge and never let the battery die.
in this way, alla my phone have an eccellent battery as the first day.
There must be something corrupted with your device.
I had min in use from Friday noon to Sunday late afternoon (forgot my charger at home):
about 1 hour of phone usage, push mail activated, weather sync (syncs all hours), took 5 pictures (2 footprint and 3 normal in hires) and alarm at Saturday and Sunday morning
battery dropped from 100% to 21% in this timeframe with the above usage. I think this is not too bad

probably you aren't very knowledgable regarding batteries...I am.
altho Lithium-Ion batteries have no memory, they still need to be charged correctly at the beginning to free up the potential.
but whatever...do whatever makes you sleep at night
Can you tell us exactly what is the best charging routine for our phone please. When new and when its been used for a while. Thanks.
Hey guys,
I am currently on Roto JMI v2 flashed using Odin from Stock Asian ROM. I am facing a peculiar battery issue, was hoping you could help me out here
So i charge the Tab at around 2-3 % by switching it off and plugging it in for a good 4 hours or so. Once the battery meter (in off mode) shows 100% I disconnect the charger and switch on the Tab only to find that the battery shows 99% !!!
I also tried charging it again while switched on from 99% to 100% and as soon as it is done and I remove the charger, it again drops to 99% IMMEDIATELY!
What am i missing here?
Cheers & Thanks in advance!
This is a common thing. I have it. And I read other people do, so you're not alone.
The 100% will not hold. Perhaps the moment one unplugs the tab from power, it immediately takes 1% of power for the tab to reconcile and keep everything running.
Same issue here, was about to start a thread about it but you beat me to it.

I don't think that it actually consumes 1% of the power - it's just that the calibration of the battery meter is such that if you are at less than 100%, which you will be the second you switch the Tab on, it shows 99% because you've consumed some power.
Regards,
Dave
I faced the same issue, but from what I observed, seems the root cause is the Power Management.
I have Battery Indicator Apk installed on both Tab and I9000, I9000 battery voltage can hit 42xxMV while shows 100%. But on Tab, the voltage was never above 4200, the highest I recorded was 4198mv. I strong believe it's one kind of "protection" to avoid the battery to be over charged to pro-long the battery life for Tab since the battery is not changeable.
Thanks for clearing that one up for me guys Glad to know it's not an isolated instance
My tab takes around a good 4 hours to charge to 100% but i notice that the drop from 99% to lets say 85% HAPPENS VERY QUICKLY. In like 20-25 minutes of use, I am down to the 80's. Its not like i switch on all the features on my Tab which cause the drain but just watching a video or surfing on the wifi leads to this. And i get really paranoid having a battery widget on screen because I can see the drop by 1% as I am on the Tab.
Any ideas? Best way to prolong the battery life? Currently I have 20% brightness, Power saving mode on, Wifi / APN switched off, on GSM mode only, background process for market disabled, no sync, clear my caches regularly, no significant widgets on homescreen. (Though using smart shortcuts).
Cheers & Thanks to all of you!

Hi!
I am going to buy a Huawei U8800 soon but I am wondering about the battery time, how good is it?
Could you please post a report over your usage and how long the battery held.
Thanks!
// Sebgus
Pretty standard for smartphone.
With heavy use - from charger at morning, to charger at evening. With easier use battery will last for 36-48 hours.
And then I guess you use apps like facebook & twitter that updates all the time?
EDIT: On the homescreen I meant
I may have a faulty unit, but my battery time on my X5 is bad, almost to the point where I want to sell it.With a full charge,GPS,Bluetooth and WiFi turned off and minimal usage throughout the day I'm at 10% by 8pm.
power121212:
That doesn't sound that good! But it seems like the quality on the batteries shipped with the U8800 shift very much? Some get a decent 2 days with normal usage and some are fully charged in the morning and then almost empty at the evening.
Shouldn't warranty cover that?
I would like more reports please, want to figure out how good quality they have. Maybe can do a template:
Date on purchase:
Batterytime w normal usage:
Activities, normal usage (what did you do):

I'd just like to point out that you CANNOT rely on the battery meter to give you an accurate reading for the battery capacity. If your phone drops a few % very quickly then you need to remove batterystats.bin and power cycle the device a few times. Initially when I got mine it went 'flat' quite fast telling me to plug in but when it hit 0% it then shot back up to 30%, since the remaining capacity would have been recalculated.
The battery life is good. It is a large battery for this size of device (1500mAh) the HTC Vision has a 1300mAh (more or less the same hardware). Just be smart about how you use it, don't keep over 9000 widgets on you home screens terminate apps completely, don't leave wifi/gps/3g on unneccessarily (it only takes a few seconds to reenable them in settings)
I agree to Poulsen8r .too much running appz on your phone may cause the battery empty fast.I suggest to monitor all those running appz and turn it off if unneeded.

Agree. And it greatly depends on your location as well, I mean your battery would definitely last longer if u're sitting besides a strong cell tower all day without finding, detecting and re-connecting cell towers.

Could you please elaborate further on how you recalibrated your batterystats? I followed a guide but it didn't help really, maybe did something wrong.

Yeah, the battery is large and nice. I will try to take it easy with the widgets, even if they are tempting. Leaving wifi and gps on is just waste of battery imo, so no worries.

Make sure your phone is fully charged and plugged into pc then:
start terminal/cmd
adb shell
rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
reboot
Unplug your phone and let it discharge WITHOUT TOUCHING IT as long as possible ideally until its empty. Then charge FULLY and discharge again. Then it should be fairly accurate and consistent (no sudden drops pf 10% in 10mins).
theres an app here in xda that helps to do battery calibration:

Rooting, SetCPU and the battery calibration-app feels like a must-have!

Hi,
I got my second android phone (LG G2 obviously) this christmas, and I haven't had time to properly use it (I don't have a micro SIM yet). I noticed that my battery is going empty pretty fast, although I heard this phone has a amazing battery. My friend got this phone too and he told he's been on one charge for about 36 hours with constant wi-fi connection, app downloading, playing games etc. so I figured something's off. I charged the device before going to bed and when I woke up (10 hrs later) battery was on 85% (only 2 MINUTES of screen time!!!!) and I had no apps running on the backround, no nothing. So now I'm thinking is there some easy fix for this or should I return it and get a replacement? Also something weird I noticed yesterday was that even though I don't have a SIM card yet, but 16% of the battery was used by the phone application. I did some screenshots of battery usage today and yesterday too if anyone's interested.
There are literally dozens of similar threads... suggest you start searching.
And I literally have gone through 90% of them so I decided to start a new thead. Do you (or someone) think that a factory reset could help? And the next question might sound stupid, but if I do a factory reset then does the warranty remain? Better safe than sorry I guess
I just played 4 minuts of hill climb racing and lost 3% of my battery, this is not normal. Does anyone even have a solution for this? All I see on other threads is questions and questions, but I don't see anyone saying "That worked and my battery life is normal now"
It's normal if screen is bright. Especially if carrier bloat is still there. Post screens, all you have, and what carrier. The phone could have been sick in a search state.
I don't think my phone is tied to any carrier, it was bought from just a regular electronics shop, but frankly I did a facory reset and didn't realize that all my screenshots will be gone too. Do you really think it's normal that 10 hrs of idling causes 15% battery loss? And it has the stock LG apps (safety care, life square, cell broadcast etc.). What do you mean by "The phone could have been sick in a search state."? My screen brightness is on 70%.
It's normal with bloat in it. They all have bloat stock. 70 is high and can eat at the battery pretty good. I mean it could have software glitched and was struck searching for activation behind the scenes. Use Wake Lock Detector and see what is keeping it awake.
This, almost 20% drop was caused by downloading 3 apps (facebook, facebook messenger and twitter), updating ~10 apps (all done via wi-fi) and rearranging my home screen.
Steamer86, are you sure? My friend told me that he has been 36 hrs on one charge without changing any settings and just downloading apps, playing games and testing the phone.
Your idle is great at that point in time. Facebook is a battery killer. That's a lot of activity with 70% brightness all the time. It's 17% and medium higher side usage and an hour+ of screen time. What are you expecting? At this rate with 70% constant screen and Wi-Fi pushing pretty good you would get almost 6 hours OST. That isn't bad bud.

This night i lost 18% of my battery and my phone was almost all the time on deep sleep.
But i did notice something weird, battery usage shows that Android OS is using up most of my battery and when I press on it and then hit the back button then the Android OS changes to something called surfaceflinger for a millisecond (check the screenshots)

Can you try putting your phone in airplane mode and then turn on Wi-Fi? If you aren't using a cell carrier than there's no need to keep that on.
See how this works in increasing battery life for you.

The safest thing to do is to NOT do that. Running your battery completely dead is worse on your battery, just charge it from 5 or 10%.
Lithium-Ion batteries should never cycle all the way down. In fact, with Lithium-Ion batteries, the higher the charge left the more charge cycles you will have with the battery. Nickle-Cadium batteries (Ni-Cad) are the ones from the 80's and 90's that developed a memory and cycle was NEEDED with them. There is ZERO memory effects with Lithium-Ion batteries.
For example... if you charge the phone regularly when its at 25% battery left or lower you will get roughly 250-350 charge cycles. 50% battery left and you will get 1000-1200 charges cycles and if you charge it at 75% or more you can get roughly 2000-2200 charge cycles. And obviously a charge cycle is when you charge it to full so if you charge it once a day then that is 1 charge cycle.
My battery rarely goes below 50% battery with 4-5 hours of screen on time and that's after a full day (8am-midnight) and i plug it in each night.

I have a question for you, I hope you can help me. I have samsung note 3 EU from two months, the rom is android 4.4.2 original , I use auto brightness, energy saving active, all disabled, except the 3g that is always active. I have a problem with the battery drain, because I use the phone five minute to see web page on internet and my battery drain 2% , for example if I have 100% of battery pass to 98% in 4-5 minutes. This is normal? I have to send the phone to the assistance service?
I made an hard reset but not change the time of battery drain. Help me please.

Well, a lot of things go into battery life. Surfing the web since it uses data and when on 4g or LTE data you will use a lot of battery. That said, things I do for best battery are these...
Any app you don't want or need running background data i would restrict the background data under settings-data usage then tap what is using data and you can tap restrict background data. Turn off all your syncs (use manual sync) unless you have to have them like email maybe and dont let it sync every 15 min maybe change it to once an hour or every 4 hours. I would use your internet for about an hour of surfing and see what you get after that. I probably lose about 10% battery per 45 min or so of constant web surfing on stock browser at 30-40% brightness. Also, turn off your auto brightness... it will never save you battery but use more. it will almost always be brighter then you need. Just adjust the brightness as you need it. I run mine at 20-25% brightness unless i need it higher.
hope this helps.
on GPS, turn on waze navigation
turn on wifi tethering, connect another device to it and play a 2 hour HD video on youtube
at the same time connect to a bluetooth speaker and play a song
screen brightness set to maximum
do the above 4 at the same time. should be dead in less than 2 hours

Also, turn off your auto brightness... it will never save you battery but use more. it will almost always be brighter then you need. Just adjust the brightness as you need it. I run mine at 20-25% brightness unless i need it higher.
hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply . I try to use the device for an hour and let you know how much battery drain. I did not understand, what should I do to change the synchronization of e-mail every 4 hours (I use gmail app). I went into the account - sync but does not make me choose how often to do the synchronization. Can you help me?

You might want to read this first before damaging your battery.
Goodluck!

Well I can't help much with gmail since I don't use it. I looked in Gmail settings and I see no options for sync times either. I use stock email. You might not be able to change or specify that. Someone else that knows may be able to chime in.
