So as the thread name states does anybody have any tips for helping have the WildFire's batterey last longer?
So far ive turned the screen brigtness down by half of what it was & turned off touch vibration.
Any other tips?

I have not tried many things but one thing i am pretty sure of is go to MARKET >>>> Download and use Advanced Task Killer .. kill the running apps.. i leave my installed keyboard..and mobile security app ON rest most of them i kill... its a useful app.. i mean why to keep music app or weather app or news app or messaging app running when u are not using them..

Yeah ive been using the Advanced Task Killer for a while now already.
I have read that usage of ATK is not required at all because of Androids near perfect RAM Management. And you also could come into trouble because android looses a small amount of ram capacity every time you use ATK untill the next reboot.
other than that you could try Juice Plotter and Juice Defender
find a app can auto turn on/off fly mode.
I ve tried Juicy defender, it seems not fit wildfire very well, some function not working. like auto fly mode, and auto turn off wifi when over 50M.
(btw,it will change your apn setting,cause me can not connect after uninstall it.)
after 1 month, I found navigation app take me 80% of battery.like google map/navi.

Not sure if these steps actually improve the efficency of the battery OR wheter the S/W behind the battery guage becomes more accurate as it goes through a process that alows it to better estimate the SOC of the battery.

Yup, even I have read a lot that Android manages the apps in a beautiful way. When I first used Android, the first question that came to my mind was how to exit apps as none of the apps had an exit button. Coming from nokia, sony erricson etc this was an obvious question to ask. Then after some research I found that Android just freezes the apps when we go back. The app is not actually running in the back end.
But anyway, yesterday my battery again went to 8% and on checking the used status, it showed that the android system used 92% of the battery lol.
One more thing I would like to suggest is that there is a Power control widget built in the wildfire. Its pretty useful to decrease the brightness, turn off gps, wifi etc from the home screen itself.

Thanks for this!
I installed this widget and it said that GPS was on even though it wasn't appearing in the tool bar along the top. I had run several apps that use GPS, but had assumed if the GPS icon was gone, GPS was off.
Is that wrong?
(good news if it is, as I was struggling to keep enough power to in my phone to get through the day without charging)

Avoid task killers like the plague. They cause more problems than they solve. Trust the android os to manage ram.
Just discovered the most powerful app I have ever seen called "Tasker". It its only £4, but will make your android so much more diverse. You can, for example, have it go into airplane mode between certain times (i have between midnight and 6am) but periodically check for sms or voice mail every hour. It saves stacks of battery.
I have it turning wifi on only when it knows I'm at home or at work.
I have it turning off wifi, dropping screen brightness down, and playing a louder notification when battery gets to 15%.
It silences my phone when I get within 100m of the two cinemas I use.
It is not the most easy app to use, be patient with it. Look up some of the "recipes" on the internet to get a good tutorial on how to work it. £4 is a steal for something so potentially vast. Its limited only by your imagination.
Oh and having run Tasker for 24 hours, (how long my battery normally lasts) only contributes to a 2% drain, and its adding roughly 6 to 8 hours extra! It would cost you ten times that for an extended battery!
I use an free app called timeriffic to auto disable WiFi

Try program JuiceDefender....you can download free from Android market.
my battery life is really awful too,i noticed it a couple days ago,that it drains to fast,so i started looking into it,and i found out,that my device won't go too sleep. so in settings/about phone/battery the awake time and up time are the same. i had similar problems on my hero, but there it was the messaging apps fault.
here, i kill everything with advanced task killer,it still can't go too sleep,android battery use shows,that android system is using most of the battery.
anybody else with similar problem?solutions? i have stock 1.25 rom rooted with unrevoked.
What? You mean your screen is permanently on? .....
Ive head bad things about using task killers too, I dont use on anymore.
Some things i have done that have helped my battery like quit alot actually is turn off Wi-Fi, Turm off GPS, Turned off haptic feedback(vibration when pressing buttons), Screen brightness to automatic & screen timeout too 15 seconds.
I can now have a really good fiddle with the phone and it can last more than a day without needing a charge.
As I understand when screen goes auto shut off, all apps are idle, even WiFi or gps is on. I tried with music on continuously for 2 hrs in flight mode, I still have about 80% power. With gps on for 1 hr continuous, I still have about 80%. With normal use my power can last the whole day.

no,the screen turns off,but something still runs in the background what eats the battery,and I can't find out what it is. I tried multiple task managers,and they show that everything is closed.i have it in flight mode,with everything turned off,still something runs,what shouldn't.
Did you solve this? It's happening on my phone now, and it's very frustrating.
(just installed ATK - very scary the apps I never use are running) and killed everything except ATK. Touch the power switch to turn off the screen. 15 minutes later, up time and awake time are still the same.

2 updates from me, to help anyone else with similar problems:
1) I uninstalled any recently installed or updated apps** and widgets now I have a 1:6 ratio of awake time. So, fixed?
2) In the meantime I logged a call to HTC via their website. Answer:
With regards to your problem, if the battery is going down significantly and you have turned of applications when your not using them and used task killer. It might be better to call us up so we cann look into it further and we might have to book the phone in for repair especially if you have noticed it not charging properly or overheating at any time.

Yup, those problems started occurring at the same time as the other, so it looks like I have an underlying hardware fault. Dammit! I don't want to be without my phone for 2 weeks.

If you are asking me, the answer is "about 6 hours".
I've (partially) fixed my uptime = awaketime problem. But I obviously have some more serious battery issue.
Hopefully someone else can chime in with happy battery life.

I found a program called Nobars in the market. What it does is monitor cell reception and turn the radio off when you have no signal. There is an option to keep WiFi active when it puts it into airplane mode.
I have confirmed that it works as it should by taking it out of airplane mode several times. Since installing it cell usage of the battery has not budged.
I know this can be done manually but this is an automatic option that constantly monitors.

Its not working for me neither.
Mine is unrooted too.
Do we need root?
mine is rooted and it doesnt work : still have the "veille gsm" process sucking battery (A500 french)
I am rooted, it doesn't work for me either.
Does Airplane Mode Work?
Has anyone seen any positive effect of keeping the tablet in airplane mode and just turning WiFi on/off as you need it?
This app does not need root. While it was working great for me initially it now seems to have stopped working. I am going to play with it a little today.
And I definitely see a difference running in airplane mode.
There is another app I run on my droid x that shuts down everything at night. Going to see if that works on Honeycomb.
for anyone that it is not working for, you can turn on airplane mode manually and then re-enable wifi

You can do this, but have not seen any adjustments to the battery use at all. It still keeps draining for the cell standby.

Airplane mode does not fix the Cell Standby drain.
I have seen this topic discussed in the Androidtablets forum under the Acer specific thread. (I still can't post links but it's exhaustively been discussed in that thread).
Unfortunately, the a500 was designed exactly the same as the a501 (which will be the 3G enabled Acer tablet eventually).
The bottom line is, this probably won't ever be fixed. Renaming phone.apk and telephonyProvider.apk does fix the issue - but it also bricks your tablet.
For my Droid X, I use a widget called "Dazzle!" which gives me control over the Cell Radio - even on my Droid, I can disable Cell and not have a Cell Standby drain. Unfortunately, this widget does not appear in the market for the Acer...
I think we've gotta wait for a crafty developer for a workaround, or wait for some custom ROM's... Acer doesn't seem to have any plans for a software update for this.

All we need is a kernel that disables the ril. DJ_Steve did it for the Streak 7.
I have a help-ticket out at Acer about this issues, which has already surpassed Level 2 Tech support. It's been a while since my last response (which told me to send the unit in for faulty parts, haha). We'll see what Level 3 has to say. So far they've only sent form-letters back.
I have a feeling our developer community will have this issue solved well before acer even acknowledges it.

Which leaves us users who don't want to go the mod/root route in deep doo doo.
I completely agree.
I finally decided not to root my Droid X for the gingerbread update. But the tablet, I have to admit, I might have to actually Root to fix the issues.
I hope Acer creates a situation where Rooting isn't necessary. But, it looks doubtful. I'd rather root and gain 4+ hours of battery, than not root and gain nothing.

How is your battery life before and after? And, renaming them does nothing unless you reset the Iconia.
What I don't understand is just what kind of reset does this. There's a lot of chatter here but to me a hard reset always meant a complete wipe of the device back to factory default state. Apparently even a "soft reset", i.e., just rebooting will also bork the Iconia so just be careful.
Am I on to something here?
Hi guys, I am a noob here so please dun flame me
I actually installed minimalist text onto my A500. I tried to customize my widget,
and when I went into the part where I can customize the activity of clicking my widget, I discovered that the list consist of mobile network settings (It actually consist of the full list of mobile networking settings)
Out of curiosity, I selected the mobile data network setting as my widgets default action. When I went into the setting, the "Data Enabled: Enable data access over Mobile Network" is actually being checked. I had unchecked it, and now my "cell standby" in my battery use has stopped.
Maybe I got it wrong or its just coincidence, but I thought maybe someone else can try it and see whether is it really workable?
I am keeping a look out on the battery statistics; hopefully it really works.

Wow! I just went into my Beautiful Weather settings and under the "Advanced Panel" you can specify an action for clicking on the time (or weather). When this is done, it provides a large list of action - this list, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't show up anywhere.
Anyway, Mobile Data was checked (yes or on) so I cleared the list (resulting in mobile data being UNCHECKED) and rebooted. Mobile data remained unchecked so I'll watch for a while and report results later.

Yeah the list didnt show up anywhere unless we went to customise widget setups like what we did. Lets see how things goes!
And it seems as though the mobile network settings etc is hidden due to the fact that our A500 is wifi only?
Not sure how to search on the XDA app, so please forgive me if this is already a topic... does anyone have any tips/tricks for avoiding the Sleep Of Death?
-XDA Premium on CM7 Nook Color
What version CM7 are you on?
Latest SOD fixes were put into a kernel which is available as separate zip but have not made it into a nightly build as the build has not been working since mid November.
You may be able to use the kernel update if you are on a fairly recent version or you could switch to the KANG MiRaGe ROM which does include the kernel fix together with other improvements which have not made it into a nightly. Look for the main MiRaGe thread in the development forum.
Other than that before applying this kernel fix people were using various techniques for switching wifi off rapidly when suspending which seemed to be a work-around.
I haven't had a SOD since using the new kernel when it first appeared and as now as embodied in MiRaGe.
I'm on cm7.1.0, I don't get SOD all the time just on occasion without pattern
-XDA Premium on CM7 Nook Color
Widgets...
Don't use Beautiful Widgets. That causes SoD's. Other widgets may cause the same problem.
I have found that every widget that has weather causes SOD for me. All others are okay.
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda premium
I had to switch ROM's from MIUI to Phiremod to get this to stop. Works fine now even with Beautiful Weather Widget active.
The KANG ROM you describe is the one I have been on since it was introduced. I had the SOD fix but it still occured albeit infrequently. My "fix" is to just shut my Nook down every night. I haven't had one since.
Setting wifi to shut off when screen goes off also works for me (the issue seems to be wifi related). You can also use tasker to shut wifi off when the screen turns off.
Both beautiful widgets and the go weather widgets have caused the sleep of death for me. Without any widgets, my Nook would be up for weeks at a time.

Certainly...
I'm assuming you have a basic understanding of how to use Tasker, if this is not so please let me know and I'll be more in-depth. I created a profile named WIFISLEEP with the condition being "Display Off". The first step of the internal task is to wait 5 minutes, with the "IF" box checked and the "IF" condition reading "%SCREEN ~ off". The second step is to set Wifi to off, with the same "IF" condition as the first step. The third step is to play a notification sound (not required, but nice to be assured that your profile actually executes), with the same "IF" condition as the first two steps. I already had a "Display On" profile (for setting the CPU governor and speed), so I just added the next part to the pre-existing profile. If you don't already have such profiles you can just create another profile (named something like "Display On"). The condition, of course, being "Display On", and the first task being "WiFi set On" with the "IF" condition being "%SCREEN ~ on". The second task being "WiFi Net Action Reconnect", with the same "IF" condition as the first task. Not only does this fix my SOD problems, but it will also save you quite a bit of battery when not in use for long periods of time. There will be a slight (10-20 sec.) delay waiting for the WiFi to reconnect after you turn the screen on (as long as it's been more than 5 min of course), but it's definitely worth it. The reason I have a 5 minute wait is so that downloads can finish before they are cut off, you can set the wait time longer if your downloading times take longer. Overall, this did the trick for me on SOD.
*EDIT* I did also get ahold of a much better WiFi management application called Green Power. Instead of having Tasker turn off the WiFi after 5 minutes of the screen being off no matter what, Green Power throws in a few more conditions to look for. Through Green Power I have it set to turn off the WiFi after 20sec of the screen being off IF WiFi traffic is at 1Kb or less. If it is not at 1Kb or less, the app will re-check the traffic every 10sec until it is at or below that level, then shut it off. Also, while the display is off, Green Power will re-enable the Wifi for 2min every 30min to allow data sync to occur. When the screen is turned on, WiFi will be re-enabled automatically. However, if the device can't successfully connect (after 30sec) OR if the strength at connection is less than 20% signal, the WiFi will be temporarily disabled so that there is no battery wasted continually trying to connect/stay connected. This setup is perfect for finishing a download after the screen goes off and then putting the WiFi to sleep, and quickly giving up on the reconnect if there is low/no signal and trying again later. This also fixes the SOD for me, with better overall management than what Tasker can provide as far as WiFi is concerned.
Hey guys, just wanted to post what I used to fix my problems related to SoD.
I was getting SoD all the time with any ROM that I used, no matter 7.1.0 or 7.2. So recently i started fresh on a 7.1.0 stable rom and moved the ROM from SD to EMMC, but the problems still persisted.
After seeing this thread, it gave me some insight regarding the root problem... For me, it seemed that wifi being on when the screen was off was the culprit. So I downloaded the free app called "Easy Battery Saver+ Task Killer" found here:
https://market.android.com/details?...SwxLG51bGwsImNvbS5lYXN5LmJhdHRlcnkuc2F2ZXIiXQ..
I set it to the "General Power Saving Mode" profile, which basically turns off the wifi whenever the screen is off.
That seems to have fixed the problem, now I never get a SoD! So I recommend giving it a try!
If you are interested in my opinion...

The problems I see here are that there is no WiFi traffic check (at least from what you've explained) before it kills the WiFi, and the Task Killer part. Task Killers actually cause more battery usage because the Android System will have to use more battery to re-start many of the killed processes. This is because the OS is programmed to keep some/most of those background processes running and will continually re-start them no matter how many times a task-killer stops them. It is better to have apps such as Ram Manager Pro (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111145) or V6 SuperCharger script (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276) to optimize your RAM for much better smoothness and crisp response, with much better battery savings. Combine one (or both depending on what parts you use for different activities) with Green Power app, which will give a hand-full of extra conditions to look for before turning off the WiFi at screen off and thus fixing your SOD and providing better performance with extra battery savings. I hope this helps!
It'd be helpful to share experiences about apps that prevent your phone from going into deep sleep.
Hopefully, this thread can help not only the users but the dev side also as long as our smart phones yet haven't been coming with decent batteries.
The deep sleep issue might make your precious apps uninstalled by users no matter how good they're. So, don't forget to take this issue into account when doing development.

My system info: SGN, ICS, Speedmod kernel. I've never waked my phone up before removed it from charging jack. It's just no need to do so. My phone still has good sleeping behaviour.
You can strike Chrome from the list. I have it installed, with sync enabled, and my phone sleeps perfectly. That's on a rooted stock LQ2 ICS ROM.
In fact I have 78 apps installed, according to the Play Store, and deep sleep is working perfectly. I have sync enabled on everything which is syncable apart from Google Currents.
Chrome does for some so it can be kept, with side note
Some tips:
Add stinking Facebook to list
Audio1 service: disable bottom choices in settings>sound
Wifi: airplane mode reboot airplane mode off.

This may be the same practice for other messaging apps.
I don't have any issues with Facebook and deep sleep but this may be because I don't sync my contacts or calenders.
Screen Filter does stop deep sleep though. At least till you disable it.

I hadnt had any of the deep sleep issues people complained of until around the time chrome went official. I tried full Charging/disconnecting but it didn't seem to restore sleep.
I uninstalled chrome and used the standard charge disconnect reboot method again.
Device went right back to sleep.
Re-installed chrome except didn't sign in (to avoid potential sync issues) phone still sleeping like a baby.
Maybe it wasn't chrome? I will have to "sign in" and re-test play around w syching and recharge...

Same here (no deep sleep issues) BUT with everything disabled in the Facebook's settings.
You can add OkCupid to the list of deepsleep-unfriendly apps.
... uh yeah
Its the location feature that causes the issue. Even though the app allows the feature to be turned-off, it's a lottery whether it works or not. Thinking back now this app probably gave me reason to believe my previous phone had a dud battery.
I have over 320 apps installed including all the so called culprits mentioned in previous posts and my note always goes into deep sleep.
The only time I get the awake issue is when I unplug the phone when charging without first turning the screen on and unlocking the screen. I don't know why it does this but if anyone has the always awake issue should try this before (as i did) you blame it on a app.
I wasnt using fool proof scientific methods but i wasn't getting traditional methods to work w the sleep issue until I uninstalled chrome official...I restored deep sleep and re installed chrome...its still deep sleeping (CpuSpy)
Also looking at settings "battery" tab... it appears that my device is "sleeping" occasionally while charging but "not awake" doesn't necessarily mean "deep" sleeping right? based on what I've read, the system prob considers 200mhz asleep when its connected 2 power...I dunno

The Chrome tips are interesting but now I'm back to Opera Mobile coz the nice Text Reflow feature.
My phone is always at 200 mHz with screen off during charging. There's never been on deep sleep stage in CPU Spy.
Just to chip in the Lloyds TSB app (mostly for UK users) is causing issues for me as of late. Eating away at the battery and preventing sleep.
No luck solving it yet. May just uninstall.
It's been App Lock and App Defender for me, never letting my phone go into deep sleep so I had to uninstall :/
any development on this issue on
a real fix???? particular Rom that's unaffected?
I must be doing something weird w my charger
bc I constantly lose deep sleep everyday
Im tethered 2 the usb charger, constantly have 2 monitoring cpuspy sux and Im not gonna take it anymore lol why do I HAVE 2 wait 4 100% to do the unlock reboot trick
this is a flaw I cant live with...I need 2 be able 2 take a nap wake up & not have lost 75% of my phones charge bc it wont deep sleep
its just getting 2 annoying, its making me want to sell, maybe go back 2 HTC see what's up hear they got HTCx1 or whatever rocking JB...
any idea what I could sell it for?...its SIM unlocked

I can still get rid of all my deep sleep issues by rebooting the phone after I disconnect from the charger. This is the only reliable method I've found (I'm on ICS LQ2).
I'm also experimenting with SetCPU (which I bought for my tablet) to see if that stops the problems - since I'm rooted I can use that!
It's been very bothersome. I did look on the web and found this thread about it, but there hasn't been an all-encompassing answer yet.

I don't appear to be running into this issue. Used Note 3 to start a freebie song on Google Music to play on Chromecast and it continues to play when Note 3 screen times out or when I hit the power button manually. If you've rooted/modified your Note 3 then you probably want to reflash back to stock to rule out any issues that were introduced.
This might be a really pointless suggestion, but as I don't use any of those I'll take a shot in the dark:
Does this setup use WiFi? If so, is WiFi set to disable during sleep?
Bump bump
Anyone a clue? (Evident causes are already ruled out). Regpon wifi KeepAlive app is a solution but it pretty much drains the battery.
Ha!! Just installed a new MK2 firmware ROM (Polish). Runs like a charm now. No issues.
EDIT: forget it. Worked the first time . A bit later .... crap, crap, crap....
With the faulty bluetooth connection with my carkit this is the worst device I've ever had... Next big thing turns out to be the next crappy thing for me...

Check under Wi-Fi -> Menu -> Advanced if you have "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" set to Always. That (and the resulting Note 3 behavior and power consumption) might also be heavily influence by some of the power-saving / special broadcasting done in your WiFi router/AP.

Interesting, power-saving option in my router. What kind of parameters are you thinking about.
But do you have it working? Take a look at this forum thread http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...0-google-chromecast-note-3-disconnecting.html . This is a pain in the ass for a lot of users.

I have no Chromecast yet, so I can not test that, but when those WiFi settings are set badly you either don't go to full sleep with the phone (and power consumption is large) or you go without the correct wake-up wifi stuff and then you miss radio packets.

Let's assume for simplicity that I literally tried everything on the Note when it comes to tweaking the WiFi setting (there's even a hidden settings menu, accessible by dialing *#0011#, in which you can set the WiFi Power saving off. That didn't work either).
So I know, theoretically you can speculate a lot but it won't help. There's something wrong with the Note or the play music app.
Sometimes the Play Music app force closes with a IllegalArgumentException, saying that a messagestream with namespace Ramp is already registered (that is definitely related to the chromecast API) . It happened a few times (very rarely though) when waking the device up when casting music via Chromecast.
But what was that about the Wifi router? What kind of parameters did you have in mind?
Same issue. All the settings on my phone are fine. Any other Chromecast supported app works regardless of my screen being on or off. WiFi on during sleep. Router configured properly... If I run Google Play Music from my desktop, and stream to my Chromecast I can play entire albums without a problem. On the phone, I can not. This is definitely a Note 3 problem.
