Wi-fi shut my vox off - HTC Vox

When I switch the wi-fi on, and my battery is about 40% , i don't know why, but after some minutes of browsing the phone is turning off! It doesn't gave any signals of low battery ot something... just turns black screen and goes off.
Any ideas why is that happening? And how can i fix it?

Hi!
I had the same problem!
Sorry but it's time to change your battery

are you sure? it looks strange to me 0_o'
did the new battery solve your problem?

Yes it did solve for me

yes this is a battery issue.
replace your battery.

Then... why it happens only with the wi-fi and not with the others operations i do?

wifi sucks a lot of power
thats why

Same problem here, though I also get it when surfing on EDGE. Battery on order.

pretty ****ty =D
Do you know if there are 2100 mAh batteries available (for the Vox)?

Solution to the battery drain issue

Hi all, based on my experience of flashing various different ROMs, most of the ROM shouldn't have the battery drain issue. However, I discovered some times after flashing a new ROM the device gets much warmer and the battery drains very quickly.
When this happens the best solution is to shutdown the device, pull the battery out for 5 minutes or so to let it cool down. Then put it back and turn on the device and the battery drain problem should be resolved.
I haven't been able to find the reason behind that but it does make a big difference. With one of the ROM I flashed, the battery went from 100% to flat in less than a day even when no WiFi, no bluetooth and no infrared are turned on. Then I recharged the device, pulled the battery out to let it cool down and put it back. After that the battery went back to normal with only around 3% consumption overnight.
Sounds interesting.
I also noticed that the device is getting hot in some cases (high CPU usage).
It is clear that the selfdischarge of the battery if much higher when it gets warmer. If it is being recharged in a short time afterwards, then also here the temperature will get higher.
This might be an explanation. You're right.

Mhh.. i found out, if you have a bad cell connection (like 1 bar of all 4) the phone starts to boost somehow this hardware and drains alot battery.
Any1 experiencing that?

You're absolutely correct... When the GSM carrier signal is weak, your phone compensates for this weakness by boosting the signal off your phone's antenna. This process consumes alot of power. Another reason for such a high consumption is that your GSM service provider is using a low GSM band for its GSM infrastructure and your phone is a triple/quad band phone. In that case, it would continuously boost off the signal.

Is this normal or ....

I bought a Vox in july that looked new, I flashed soon after with WM 6.5. I dont know what the battery life was like before flashing but currently I only 1HR out of the battery with Wi-Fi on??!!
IS that normal?? OR should get a new battery??
Afterall I had a tornado before and that useto give me at least 2-3hrs of battery power using wi-fi constantly.
You should probalby change the power mode of WiFi to Auto or battery. It drains the battery veeeeery fast otherwise
yeah..me too. when i ON the wifi i can say with just 1-2 minit even already full charge and my vox turn OFF. when im trying to ON it back, its batery problem.
looking to a new batery now

[Q] Cell Standby Battery drain

Hey,
i just had the feeling that theres something wrong with my battery stats. Cell Standby drains about 25% battery up to 50% sometimes.
Is there something wrong with my nexus 5?

well it looks like you were in an area of no service for quite a while (the red bars). The battery gets crushed when there is no service and it is searching for service. I would put your phone in airplane mode if you know you have no service in an area. For example, when I enter the subway I put it into airplane mode to save battery.
I always recommend DS Battery Saver on the Play Store. When your screen is off, it turns off data (3g/4g).
To give you an idea of the benefits, I've been at work for 8 hours now, used my phone heavily at lunch, and my battery is still at 84%.
well, i tried using noBars or Autopilot but both arent working with 4.4. Instead of enabling flightmode they just crash..
So besides teh cell standby the battery stats seem ok? i was just wondering if there might be something wrong with the actual battery hardware.

[Q] Suddenly high drainage when screen is off.

Hi
I few days ago, I posted at 13 hours standby, 7 hours SOT photo which was great, as I had used the phone at full brightness 1-2 hours and a lot of music playing.
But suddenly, I only hit 4 hours, with 14 hours standby time.
Normally I get 4-5% drainage when screen is off over a whole day (GSM battery monitor), but today I got 29% drainage from screen off.
I have not installed any new apps. Any idea what this else could be? My cell signal is almost always 3-4/5
Thanks in advance
I have experienced the same thing at least twice!
I think it might possibly have something to do with having used WiFi tethering and turning it off. Only reason I think that might be the issue, is it was something I did both times. To be clear the abnormally high battery usage was not when the tethering was on but after I turned it off..
Try restarting your phone and see if this helps.
Japultra, it did for me both times . Avoiding tethering has also worked

I noticed that restarting the phone helped too. I was experiencing high drain on idle and restarted my phone and turned off LTE and assumed that turning off LTE had increased my battery, but after leaving LTE on and not experiencing high battery drain, I believe it was the reboot that suddenly upped my battery life again. I'm not sure why this happened, as it doesn't anymore - I haven't restarted my phone in several days. I don't know why it doesn't happen anymore as I haven't really changed anything I can think of that would do this, but I'm getting GREAT battery life now from the phone.
Samsung said the android it self, especially 5.0.2, is the main reason or most of those problems and that 5.1.1 will fix most of those.
We just have to wait
Like this? Can someone fix this without uninstall the app?

24% overnight battery drain, Note 10 Exynos

Hi, i have Note 10 Exynos Version, phone was fully charged (100%) at time i was gone to the bed around , i turn off all the futures like wifi, NFC, Etc... i shocked when woke up and found battery is on 74%, i had s7 edge and never face sych iss5its hardly uses 3% max un standby, sometimes My note 10 drain 18%, 20%, i had checked everything but couldn't found reason for battery drained in standby, not installed any fancy app, its not show any background uses of any app, i dont know how to attached screen shot to this thread otherwise it will clarify more about issue..... help me to resolve ..
Sync and Bixby routines are major candidates for overnight/standby battery drain.
Even i face the same overnight drain issue which never happened with my S10+, but not as much as 24%.
It has also got to do with your network signal strength in the place were you live.
Hi , the point you mentioned about network signal strength seems possible culprits, i barely get 1 to 2 bar signal strenth (idea network) at home, secondly sync and Bixby routine was already turned off, is it possible that poor signal strenth should tole that much on battery? I had s7 edge and its it's never drained that much battery even at poor network signal strength

Look under your battery settings, should show more detail about what is consuming what amount of power and go from there.
Hi, if i turn-on the flight mode at night before bed, phone won't drain battery at standby, its draining graph stayed flat at night, so i assumed that main culprit is poor network signal.... by the way can u enlighten me how to add/attached screen shot herewith if i wish to? As i dont found any option menu for that....

To attach an image, scroll down a little and there's a button to attach it or you can upload it to imgur.com and share the link here.
As for your battery drain, the main culprit is always bad battery signal. So maybe try locking it to 3g and try it out.
Sometimes when the network is bad and the phone wants to sync, it will fail and keep trying. It's an issue which plagues samsung to be honest. Had it once as well on my note10.
