Strange behavior

I had my Nexus One since last march, and apart from the 2second bug, I had no problems with it at all. I've never rooted it as it is a company phone.
Yesterday, when idle, it rebooted into the bootloader and wasn't responding to anything. I tried to take out the battery at least two dozen times without success until it finally rebooted properly.
The battery wasn't drained (it was at 76% when I managed to reboot) - anyone had similar experience? This is a bit worrying, I don't want to replace my Nexus One for at least two years (or until I fall in love with a phone like I did with this one, and the Nokia N95 before that) I've only had 4 phones since 1999.
- sorry I've posted in the wrong forum, I meant to post this to the Q&A section of the Nexus One forum, I hope a mod can transfer this

any water damage or u dropped your phone by accident¿

Random Drastic Battery Increase?

I've had this phone since October.. and battery life was meh, obviously.
About a month ago I switched to SRF Frozen, and the battery life was great. I was consistently getting 3 hours of screen on time throuh 12 hours use.
Then just out of nowhere, a couple days ago I've been getting 4 hours of screen on time and my phone lasting 16-20 hours.
I'm baffled, but in no way disappointed. I just found it really strange because I haven't downloaded any new apps in forever, and haven't changed my settings or usage at all.
This happen to anyone else?

When a monkey sees a banana, it doesn't question why or how it got there, but it just takes it
Which means, who know? Better not to ask and tamper with it and just appreciate it

I usually get about 5-6 hours per battery with 4G, GPS, and WIFI constantly on. I get like 12-14 hours with 3G.

I grabbed myself a copy of Stock Plus and my battery life was AMAZING. Giving the new Syndicate a try now.

Sounds like Sprint just erected a cell tower next to your home/work. This could definitely be attributed to better/more constant signal.

I'm guessing that could be it.. I just finished up a semester of college and went back home for the summer where I ALWAYS have full bars. When I'm at UMass I'm lucky to have 2 bars.
Wow I didn't know it made that big of a difference, especially since I'm alwas on wi-fi. Funny thing is, I get 4G when I'm at UMass and crappy evdo coverage, yet at home I get great evdo and no 4G.

Visibly upset again... this phone won't even be reasonable!
Go figure the day after I post this... the battery life is back to 3 hours of screen on time and about 12 hours total with same usage. Haven't moved locations either..

Asking for Opinions

I'm buying my dad an evo and I have a few questions
1)Will its battery last from 6am to 12pm with heavy calling and virtually no txts and internet use?
2) what would be good under volt settings for this phone?
thx
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

1. Yes. Six hours is fine even with really heavy usage (though every phone is different and I'm sure somebody has some horror story to refute me). Just tell him how to turn the radios off that he's not using. For me, I never use Bluetooth, rarely use WiFi, and when I do, they can be toggled on. Don't turn on 4G if you're not in a 4G area, that radio kills the battery. Just don't leave them on if you're not using them, let them be more "on demand". Rooting and getting a tweaked ROM/kernel will also help. I suggest VaelPak 3.2 with Netarchy, or better yet, Vaelpak GB with SavagedZen. See my sig for a link if you're interested.
2. Most people are good with -75mV, some can go higher (100 to 125 in one or two cases) but -75 seems to be the consensus. In addition, you can set different min/max CPU speeds (this is a native option in the latest VP GB beta). That way, the CPU will scale its speed based on usage. Most people go somewhere around 245mHz min to 998mHz max, or you can overclock a bit, or you can underclock so the max is only in the 500-600s. It actually doesn't make a noticeable difference in performance for some people, unless you're gaming and then you can bump it up again anyway.
LOTS of stuff to play around with to get the best battery vs. performance balance.

My dads not the type to return a thing especially if I give it to him.
Even if it hassles him like crazy he'll treasure the phone.
I'm getting him this phone because I want to make his life easier so the 30 day return thing won't really work for me.

So how many hours it talk time and stand by time?
He might need an iPhone or a BB.

18 HOURS is asking a lot from a smart phone. It's not possible with the batt tech atm.
If the talk time is low then maybe.

No.
And as far as the phone lasting from 6 A.M. to 12 P.M. .... I believe it has about 6 hours of talk time (continuous). Take that for what it is, and given his situation. Can he not utilize a charger? Situation won't allow? As said, there are things that can be done to help 'manage' battery life, but that isn't going to yield some insane results. If he doesn't need data he could disable data, keep voice open, and see how that goes. I couldn't see that necessarily doubling the talk time. As mentioned, also, you can trial it for 30 days.
edit: slow on the draw
Maybe the Evo isn't right for him. Especially if you can't wrestle it from his old man grip for a return. Could a BB do?

He doesn't like bb because of the small buttons
I think I might just buy him an extra battery car charger and then under volt it od

6am to 12pm is 6 hours. You mistyped bro. Had it been 6am to 12am then it would be 18 hours.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I'd you are buying new. Buy the EVO 3D. Battery life should be much better than the EVO 4G
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Op mistyped. Either way, I would just wait a week for the 3d.

Evolution 3d probably wont have better battery life. You should buy him extra batteries with an external charger. He'll be fine with about 6..
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.

Lol yeah 6 am to 12pm is 6 hours.. 12pm would noon, so according to all the clocks I've ever looked at, it would be 6 hours. And yeah wait for the 3D. Probably same battery but might as well get a newer model.

Desire HD randomly turns off

After a couple of hours laying out in the sun, it turns itself off whenever. Could happen ater couple of hours uptime, or in the middle of a call right after its turned on. Is the battery the problem? Thinking of buying a cheap battery from ebay and testing. If not, what could be the problem?
ps: This is my friends phone, he just bought Sensation, so I could get his phone for nothing.

If the phone is still under warranty ask your friend to get it fixed by HTC! It could be the battery or something you can't get to without voiding the warranty.

Thanks for the tip. He bought it like 6 months ago, so it has some scratches and stuff, but other than that it looks alright. Does this matter? Dont think he got the recipt from the store he bought it from, will this be a problem for sending it in to htc?

Called Tech support.and told them that my battery says 1500mah when it should say 2530mah. They asked where I see that information and I told them on their site under the phone specs and motorola site as well...They said ok we will have you one out tomorrow over nighted....

Are you charging your phone completely before looking at the stats? I have a MAXX HD and it says 1500 too, but while I was playing with the app I saw something that mentioned accurate battery stats requires a charge cycle (or something like that)

I'm fairly certain that the app is inaccurate, granted I installed it when I was at 49% battery remaining and it was claiming I had 1500. I have managed to go two full days without charging so I certainly don't believe the number I'm seeing.

I highly doubt they over nighted a phone for free unless they detected something weird as well
