As announced by HTC, Talk time is 419 for GSM vs. Standby 367 for GSM!
Could talk time be less battery drainer than standby?
no, talk time is in minutes, standby time in hours
so
367 hours standby time
but only
419 minutes talk time
Oooops!
... didn't notice that
it pretty differs in real

Hi guys.
Look at this:
Standby time:
Up to 450 hours for UMTS
Up to 400 hours for GSM
Talk time:
Up to 4 hours for UMTS
Up to 7 hours for GSM
And I am asking...how can it be?!
How can it be that in UMTS mode the battery lasts longer than in GSM? (standby)
and in talk time GSM is almost doubled than UMTS.
I am thinking maybe to set my phone to GSM, to save some battery.
By the way, how long can your TC battery last? I think mine will last 24 - 36 hours without charging. = ( Not sure how come?
Yeah I never trust what manufacturers say about standby time. If I had my Cruise with everything turned off, including phone and screen, I don't think it will last for 450 hours, that's over 18 days.
Surely all have noticed that the officially announced Talk Time is longer than Standby Time under normal conditions!
According to HTC the readings are: -
Talk time:
Up to 378 minutes for WCDMA
Up to 419 minutes for GSM
Standby time:
Up to 462 hours for WCDMA
Up to 367 hours for GSM
Could this be real as for the Standby to be shorter than talk time?
i think you have got the minutes and hours thing confused. standby time is in hours, talk time is in minutes
Actually there are 60 minutes in 1 hour
lol sorry...
Im new to the Droid 2 Global, but not new to the Android platform (I came from the Samsung Vibrant and helped out with TeamWhiskey's ROMs) This is the first I have seen an Android Phone charge in an hour and 15 mins! And hold an Idle charge for 48 hours! Is this normal?
Mine charges in 2 hours or so, and I find it blazing fast compared to my old Nokia 9300 and Motorola V547.
And 48 hours idle seems pretty much normal, considering you're on Verizon. I get up to 80 hours idle on GSM 2G and 40 to 60 on HSPA without placing/receiving calls or using data explicitly (besides the weather widget) and not touching the phone at all.
Hey all, been on the forums a long time without much in the way of posting, but thought I would share some numbers with you all to see if others are in the same boat...
I love the Sensation, but I am highly looking forward to S-Off and rooting to get rid of Sense (Sure it's cool, but it's not THAT cool). However, I don't think that custom ROMs will help with my battery, as the major (read HOLY COW) drain on my MAh is from the Screen.
Currently:
Battery Level: 80%
Time on Battery: 3h 40m 41s
Display on: 48m 28s
Percent of Drain:
Display: 80%
Cell Standby: 8% (Time on: 3h 40m, W/out Signal = 16%)
Phone Idle: 6% (2h 51m 13s)
Wi-Fi: 4% (1h 25m 45s)
Voice Calls: 3% (50 seconds)
This is a pretty standard breakdown of my phone on a normal day by lunch.
The math itself becomes pretty easy:
Display = 80% of 20% = 16% of the battery over the course of 48 minutes (rounded down for easy math).
This means that every 3 minutes the display is on, I drop 1% of battery. That is 5mAH per minute. Mind you, this is with brightness set at 0%... When backlight is on at 100%, it goes to about 1% drop in every 2 minutes. (Unless I'm actually doing something and then i can drop almost 1%/minute)
This means to me that, if you are doing NOTHING on your phone, but have the screen turned on with 0% backlight, you will get 300 minutes, or 5 hours. That doesn't seem so bad, but if you are actually doing something on your phone (watching video, using any of the radios, etc.), you will get between 1-3 hours of usage.
This seems a little insane to me, as I am able to watch more than two full length feature films on my iPod Touch before the battery is anywhere NEAR drained.
How do these numbers stack up with what you all have experienced.
P.S. I know there are other battery discussions, but they all seem to be centered on extending battery life, which this is not. It is a simple discussion of the displays drain.
There's a problem: Your computing with 101% total Just kidding. I don't think the measurements are very accurate. For example, it showed me that 3% of my battery drain was due to the Dice application. Well, I rolled the dice about 3 times. Should not exactly drain that much... Now let me show you some other math: The Sensation battery has 1580 mah. There are various tools that will show you the current drain in ma. Dividing mah by ma leaves you with h, i.e. hours. Yesterday, I did the following: Turned on Wifi Access Point, Bluetooth, GPS, Mobile data connection, Music player, display @ max brightness and LED flash, plus me swiping the homescreens around for some time. The drain reached a peak of 900 ma. You will find 1580 / 900 = 1.75 which is already close to 2 hours for which you could do such funny things When watching a video, your power consumption will be much less (The flahs alone is like ~200 ma). I think you will get 4-5 hours with a moderate brightness setting and headphones if you're not streaming over WiFi or something. Try it out and tell us!
Hello!
I have a big problem with my HTC Sensation (Europe). My talk-time is much lower than anticipated, I only get about 2 hours from a full battery.
Todays stats:
100% to 45% on 5h 30m
voice 81% 1h 32 m talk time
100% to 18% on 7h 28m
voice 79% 1h 52m talk time
If I don't talk on the phone my battery holds 24H. I have my syncing set to a minimum.
Can anyone come with suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
Ps. My reception is good, between 3-4 bars.
