no battery life with the 2.2 update

My battery made it to 1:00 o'clock today with the new 2.2 update that i did last night. It normally lasts till 11 - 12 at night. Whats up with that?
FYI - All the same apps,widgets, and settings
**UPDATE**
Doing a factory reset fixed the problem for me!!

Strange, I'm sitting at 75% after 5 hours off the charger and using it for moderate text usage (probably less than 80 messages today). Usually around this time it's sitting closer to 60%.

i have the .3 update and went from about 24 hours to about 8-10 hours. Battery life cut in half. My friend who has .3 is having same issue too. So much for increasing battery life.

Wow. Have you searched the forum to see if anyone else has the same issue? If not I hope it's not an isolated incident. Then again if it's isolated maybe you can get support on it better...? Good luck finding a solution.

You gave us zero information to help you. So thus, you will not get any help.
There are about a billion threads on here about battery life and how to tweak it. When you flashed 2.2 you will need to do those steps again.

yeah some people are reporting bad battery life after update. most people i know are on .3. don't know if .6 fixes this hopefully we get update soon

I did a test last night. Dropped 13% between 1130 and 3:30am With wifi on (got up cause of baby), then only 10% between 330 and 8am with wifi off. So a drop of only 23% overnight.
That's with one exchange account, one gmail account (both syncing as items arrive), htc news set to not sync, but newsdesk and feedr both syncing. Facebook for htc set to sync contacts only.

I had the same issue on all 2.2 ROMs I tried.. i am now going through the apps one at a time to see which one is the issue.
right now I am 7 hours in and sitting at 75% very light use ( read about 7 emails, 5 new articles and little to no Web surfing). installed 10s so far other than the standard with Fresh latest ROM that is.

I've actually had very good battery life, I'm running the .3 release. Battery life for me has been very comparable to running Baked Snack 9.6, with its underclocking/undervolting power save features. Moderate use of the phone for 8 hours (wifi, browsing websites here and there, one navigation route, texting, bunch of short phone calls, playing some games), my battery was around 65 or so, same as I had before for similar usage.
I did do a full wipe though, and haven't calibrated my battery since updating.

I am just stating a observation on my part. And i know all the little tricks of how to get better battery life. But like i said, before the update i was getting a full day of battery and now after the update i am getting half. With the same settings and the usage on my part.

maybe because some of the htc sync stuff that you might have disabled before re-enabled.

This is not directed at you personally, but at the words you chose to use:
I am sick and tired of "tweaks and settings and cutting things off." I used them and got over 30 hours on both DamageControl and Fresh.
I paid Sprint/HTC good money for this awesome phone (and am committed to pay them a whole lot more over the course of the next 22 months).
While I can understand the 4G thing, why should I have to cut off Data-WiFi-Bluetooth, power down the CPU, not use it a lot in order to get... in short, drive it like a Toyota Prius when then phone is billed as a Maserati? Why should I have to try out this app and that app(Overclock widget, SetCPU, System Manager, Task Killer, Autostarts etc which all use battery too) in order to get the phone to do what it should have done on June 4, 2010?
Most of the battery draining apps and widgets come pre-loaded with sense (i.e. the Favorite widget, Friendstream etc). Why should I have to resort to rooting my phone or not using it in order to get the thing to last all day?
I'm keeping my EVO cause I love the device, but maybe Sprint/HTC need a little of the medicine that Jobs/Apple is getting in the form of lawsuits due to over-promising/under-delivering.
/off_my_soap_box

You should send that rant to HTC and Sprint... I think we all stand behind you on that one.

there are lots of reasons a battery might not last. there are way to many tweaks out there which is why you have to do it yourself.
First set the phone up like you normally have it and test the battery life. if you can live with it your good. if not start looking at the settings. Read the tweaks but don't just take them as golden as everyone is different and uses their phone different. Ask yourself if you real need that setting. (I like my screen time out at 2 min. do I need it NO 1 min is fine). When done with the settings move to the apps. load the flat ROM no apps and run for a hour and track your battery life. then add the apps 1 at a time or in small groups and let run an hour and track. there are was if find what apps are using the CPU or Battery but many do this normally and yet don't effect the battery much. Only way i have found is old school add them one at a time. When you find a bad one decide if you need it or can find a replacement.
I am done with Sense as Launcher Pro Plus is awesome and now with the only Widget I was missing (Calendar). Once I done going through my app list I will create a new thread in General to list the bad application I found unless someone else has or does before I done that is.

From what I have gathered from using .3 that apps auto sync/update on their own now with "always on mobile data" turned off. if you use advanced task killer, do a kill of all apps then turn the screen off. If you wait for a few minutes and turn the screen back on you will notice that apps like news, messages, Twitter, Facebook clock, weather and others will be active. From what I gather the decrease in battery life is from apps like those will send/receive data on 2.2 while on 2.1 apps would not update/sync until you manually refreshed or opened the app, as long as you didn't have "always on mobile data" enabled.
Edit: this reason is why I uninstalled fring. Just too bad I cannot uninstalled qik.

It is a mini-computer. You don't use it like a "phone" anymore. You shouldn't expect more than 15-20 hours on it. Do you get angry when your laptop runs out of life after 5-6 hours? If you don't want to do tweaks, then don't. Keep a micro-USB at your desk at work and charge it there. I, myself, enjoy rooting so I don't mind tweaking it. I also get 30 hours of life on it due to this. If you don't like to do that, you get what you put into it.

Again, you have unrealistic expectations for a smart phone it seems. All I have is Set CPU running on my phone with Fresh 3.0.1 and works just fine. I still use my phone like a "Maserati", it just lowers the CPU when the screen is powered off. That is like saying you want your car to idle when you get home at night until the next morning. It doesn't change how you drive it, just how you store it in the garage.

You don't have to use them though. You can remove friendstream and go with either the twitter or FB update app or go without either and just check facebook like anyone else. As far as favorites go, you don't have to use that either. You can just make shortcuts to each person's phone number on that same screen if you think that is sucking all your battery life. There are always other options or fixes, but again you expect the phone to come out of the box perfect without any customization. You are getting away from what Android really is. Something tells me the Iphone would have been more your liking since it is built around lack of true customization. This isn't a rip, but just saying if you want cookie cutter phone reliability, it is hard to beat Apple. If you want the ability to tinker with the phone, the power to change things, and the power to make your phone yours, then that is more Android.

I can understand your frustration, but nothing was ever promised to us on purchase. I don't remember anywhere seeing something saying the battery would last 30+ hours out of the box. Apple had an actual structural issue with their phone, that is why they had the lawsuits and PR nightmare. This is just the phone doing what most would probably expect(at least anyone who had a G1 or Hero or any of the earlier Android phones). You love the device enough to keep it even with your frustration, something tells me it works quite well for you. But I have yet to see any over-promising/under-delivering on the Evo myself.
And no, I don't work for Sprint or HTC. And no offense meant to you as a person, just I didn't understand your motives on your frustration. Guess we will have different opinions on the Evo so far.

I had the same battery problem after updating to 2.2. After 3 hours my battery was at 50%. Normally it'd be at 50% after 9 to 10 hours of usage.
I did find that some settings had been reset. Once I turned off all the crap syncing, gtalk logging in, Sprint Zone, etc my battery usage has seemed to flatten out.
I made it an hour and only dropped 2% which is much more like it. This is all with very little usage going on.

Buy a new battery! Best solution!
No joda!

very funny just pluged my phone in using flipz newest after 19 hours

If you're having battery problems..

I feel bad for you son, cause I got 99 problems but battery life ain't 1!
Seriously. I don't know what all this whine about battery life is about. I am running stock 2.2 unrooted. All I did was change a few settings on my phone and I get battery life to last 1-2 full days with normal use. With heavy usage, I get only about 15 hours.
All I did to achieve this was
* Turn of background data
* Lower the screen time out to 30 seconds
* Lower the contrast of my display
* Synching Gmail (push notifications) and Weather (every 6 hours), disabling news, stocks, twitter/facebook (I don't use any of that stuff)
* Keep Wifi, BT, and GPS off, mostly because I do not need them.
I personally don't use facebook/twitter all that much and really don't have a desire to be updated when my friends change their status. But either way, my configuration works for me. And, I am not sacrificing any features (that I use) to achieve my setup.
I don't know. I read all the little battery dances to do to squeeze out more battery life. I've tried them, but frankly I see little if any difference in my battery life if I do that. The phone uses a lot of battery, yes. But, it is also more powerful than the desktop computer I was using two years ago. Hell, it is more powerful than the laptop computer I was using four years ago. And today, I have it in the palm of my hand.
We cannot expect to get the same battery lives out of our EVOs as we did from an old school Nokia. The fact is this phone just does "more". My previous phone was a Palm Treo Pro. That phone literally did crap, and I still had to charge it almost nightly.
Just sayin'.

I agree, I actually managed to get 54 hours out of my Evo with light use and I thought that was impressive, sure I can probably kill it in 5 or 6 hours if I use it non stop but I have yet to need to charge it at work because I can't ever find the time to play on my phone all day.

So OP, you've turned off all the best features of a smart phone and you get great life. Fun, yawn, I could have all that with a flip phone.

What cool feature am I not using? I have my push Gmail, play Word Feud constantly, am always browsing the internet, etc. I just don't use facebook, twitter, stocks, etc. To me, that stuff isn't cool.
And no, I synch weather every six hours.

who cares that you have a limited dumbed down phone that can run days on end blah!!! This device is obviously meant to be user connected. We shouldnt have to shell out money and then limit ourselves to certain **** just to conserve battery!!! htc is even dumber for making the charge software charge to a set 1500mah or whatever the specs of the stock battery is #fail #facepalm
lol
not to mention...we didnt pay $200 plus for a device and $10 a month for nothing.
can we compare that to buying a cadillac or a mercedes with no leather seats? or how about those new modern muscle cars like a charger/challenger without the hemi hehee

Battery Saving Tip

Hey Guys,
Not sure if anyone has ever posted this but I thought I would share how I am able to get 2 days plus on single charge...
I only recomend this if you are not totally dependent on your email, facebook, gtalk, etc to sync.
I have my email accounts on my phone but I don't need to receive them instantly meaning they are not dire important so this works for me.
Android's biggest battery killer, which most of you probably know, is data syncing in background and just data connection in general. What I personally do is keep 3G data off at all times by going to settings->wireless and networks->mobile networks->3G Data and uncheck it.
Obviously with this off, you wont be able to connect to web, get emails, download apps, etc... But if you live in a 4G area like me, all I do every once in awhile is flip on 4G from dropdown let it sync or do what I got to do then flip 4G back off so there is no connection anymore... This will save so much of your battery but it is up to you to check things when you need to....
I hope this helps some people because it helps me a lot... I always recommend this to customers that come in my store if they are not depending on work email and such...
Let me know if you have any questions!

You can hold down the power button and click Data mode to toggle 3g

I have done those things since I've had this phone in august and everytime I talk about getting great battery life the haters come out and say well you didn't have sync on blah blah. Freaking retards. Especially if you are sleeping why not turn off sync for the email that is not going to come anyways. I haven't seen the battery life yet as I did since eclair though.

What else are you guys doing? I use to get 50 hours but not anymore..

I am not sure, I keep lowest brightness and keep data off almost all day except for occasional checking but maybe 10 minutes total of data being on... I have noticed with EC05 battery life lowered even on complete stock... Most people in my store hve epics and all have suffered worse battery since the update... It didnt matter if it was OTA or OTW...
Maybe try and get a new battery...

I think the reasons the 'haters' come out is simply because you're stating your getting better battery life and then revealing you're castrating your phone. It is a smartphone after all. It's supposed to do all those things you turn off. This isn't a phone which is only supposed to make calls. I mean, if I wanted to check my email once a day, I'd simply do it while I'm in front of a computer.
I don't believe I'm one of said-haters but possibly providing a bit of information on where they're coming from as well.
I think it's well documented that Android phones pretty much suck in terms of battery life, especially when compared to Blackberry. Man, RIM got it right on that aspect.

How is that castrating your phone? I can still do everything else on the phone... You don't need a constant data connection to use it like a PDA. Do all tabs have a constant data connection? No, so are they not going to be considered PDA because they lack internet sometimes? no
I am sorry to say but if your managing your phone and doing things to better, that is not castrating, that is good device management and what should be done so it runs how you want...

Well, it sorts of like taking a porsche and not pushing it past 2nd gear. Some people are happy with it, some are not. On one hand, battery saving posts can be thought as misleading, if the premise is that you dont compromise any functionality. I prefer to charge my phone everyday and not worry about battery, but when your battery is dying when you need it in the evening, than one is of a different opinion entirely.
One thing which I realized to late, is if you are at work in the office or somewhere with wifi, you can toggle 3G off and not lose any functionality, since wifi uses a lot less juice.

I have tried I new battery, I have three that I alternate between. I have no idea what has happened to my phone. It could be the phone itself

And I did say from the beginning what it does and what you loose from it... The only reason it was posted was to try and help people who may be newer to android and needing to squish extra minutes out of their phone for the day... Or they may find themselves not near a charger and almost dead and need their phone so turn off data to preserve the battery... I mean it doesn't "cripple" your phone to turn off data... I can still play angry birds, check my calendar, call people, text, etc. You don't need your phone to have data to use its features...

Don't use the Yahoo Mail app!

So I thought it would be a good idea to download the Yahoo mail app for my Xperia Play, so I can get automatic notifications of emails and easily check them without logging into the mobile site.
Boy, was that a mistake.
The app is a HUGE battery drain. I mean mega huge. Don't use it unless you like recharging your battery a couple of times a DAY.
After installing the app, my phone started guzzling up battery at an alarming rate. I'm talking a 50% battery drain in 8 hours - overnight, while the phone was doing little else. I confirmed it was the yahoo mail app that was causing the problem by running the phone with it then without it installed. Even with contact sync off for it, the thing still sucked up the battery faster than mega maid sucked up the air from planet Druidia.
Maybe it's just the latest version of the app, maybe it's unique to this phone...who knows, but I've permanently uninstalled it and will never return. Whatever it was doing, it certainly liked my battery.
I recommend to avoid it as best you can.
I also gave it a 1-star user review and wrote about this exact problem on the market, but the review seems to have disappeared. Conspiracy?

Not sure exactly, but it did pick up new mail pretty much as soon as it came through, so it may have been continuously checking. Then again the gmail app does that too yet doesn't suck the battery anywhere near as fast.

Check the carrierIQ thread in general. Forget where the detailed play services one is, but if you use TB to uninstall the system play services and then reinstall it from the play store you get less wakelocks.

I installed CleanROM 1.1 on Sunday. Battery life on Monday was excellent. Monday evening I went ahead and disabled CarrierIQ because of the excessive wakelocks (but it didn't really kill my battery). What I don't understand is that BBS is reporting that my phone was in deep sleep when I wasn't listening to music through my headphones or bluetooth. So I don't really know what to make of it, because it was sitting in my pocket for most of the day at work.
Normally I'd still be at like 85% at least. I was hoping someone could shed some light because BBS is not reporting any excessive wakelocks that could drop my battery almost 50% in a 10 hour period with only a little over 10 minutes on screen time and an hour of music playback.

Android status can also shed light on run away processed. Outs in the play store.

One day and a reboot later (didn't change anything) I get the best standby time I've ever had on an android phone. Weird.

So youre good? lol.
You can also try disabling some that stuff in "Google Settings" and also try the greenify app. Thats what I did and no complaints here

I'm not sure. It seems to vary. And I do have/had all the google settings disabled and greenified the problem apps. It's just I couldn't pinpoint anywhere that 46% drain from yesterday.

Haha, even your "bad" battery day is still pretty good compared to me. I kind of think anything over 10 hours is good.
Right now I'm at 86%, that's 5:51 up, 4:03 deep sleep, 1:48 awake, 0:45 screen on. Which, yes, means my phone has spent over an hour awake without the screen on? Very sad.
One odd thing I notice is that it says I spent 42 minutes with No Data or Unknown Signal. I wonder if that's part of it being Awake? it kept searching?
Other than that I've got 11 minutes of NlpCollectorWakeLock for that 5:51 up.
I'm not complaining, those are still very good numbers. But I feel like lowering that off-screen awake time could take it from very good to great.

Turn off Google Now, toggle Sync off when you don't need it, disable data in areas where you're certain you won't get a signal.
I got 28 hours easy with 12 to go

I like Google Now though
How are you turning off just Google Now so readily?

doesn't do anything for me i can't do for myself.
I get my sports scores using Team Stream by Bleacher report
We have a beautiful stock weather widget
I use the metro to get to work so IDC about traffic/commute times
I don't fly often so I don't need flight details and reminders
and I don't need suggestions of things to do
Gnow is a battery HOG bro, i'm telling you. I wasn't getting through a single workday with it turned on and now I can go 2 days
Edit: oh and I don't use facebook on my phone because it's also a hog with the constant background services and I use Twicca instead of the standard Twitter app

Yeah, you know what I never really thought about it like that. Though I *do* kind of have fun looking at my location dashboard in Google and seeing where I've gone and other metrics.
But you're right, its a huge hog (I'd say I get an extra 5-8 hours without it) and it isn't adding *that* much value.
I Greenify Facebook Beta and Twitter. And for some reason Google Keep keeps getting stuck in a sync loop, so I Greenify that too.
Think I'll clear data on GNow and see if I really notice the loss.

I don't know if clearing data turns it off, I just went into it and went to settings and turned it off
