First problem

So I'm running inspired ace and I haven't noticed any problems until now. I noticed that after each
Charge my battery life is getting shorter and shorter. For instance when I first flashed the Rom,I got 26 hours off one charge with moderate use. Over the past 2 weeks its dropped from that and now,I pulled it off charger 7 hours ago and my battery is at 15%. The battery use is showing that the only thing eating a good piece of the battery is the display,and its only eating 42%. Is there something I'm missing? Is this a known issue discussed before? Is there another stock feeling sense Rom with GREAT battery life? Thanks in advance for any help

What is your screen on time for those 7 hours- not %, actual time. Click on display it will tell you the time. Its probably not a bug at all- your display was probably on for a long time; which is #1battery killer.

just charge your phone fully, then go into recovery and wipe the battery stats...sometimes thats the issue

I haven't noticed that, running the same ROM solid since it was released.
Did you clear your battery stats upon flashing? How long have you been running the ROM? Have you installed any new apps since flashing? Have you been keeping an eye on any apps to see what's running as a service/using an abnormal amount of cpu?
Incidentally, I just got done logging 5h 45m screen-on time from unplug to low battery nag. No incoming/outgoing calls, gps off, WiFi on.
This is the highest I've gotten, and I really don't expect to see much more than that without messing with cpu settings and/or going to an AOSP ROM like...... GingerBeast.

I'm not sure to tell the truth. Im no newb when it comes to flashing,and have been able to sort out my own problems until here. But one thing I've never gotten into is seeing what is actually using the battery or CPU. So I don't know any apps or what it would take to do that. Also,I couldn't use adb because for some reason,it doesent play nice with my 2 Windows 7 ultimate computers lol. I want sense,I have to have it because it was my deal braker between the inspire and atrix. But if worse comes to worse,I guess ill have to do away with it,and get gingerbeast

What I've found, and what others in-the-know have said, is that a lot of these unexplained headaches can be caused by apps.
When my phone starts doing weird ****, with everything else being constant, no ROM changing, etc., I start clearing app data, cache, and if necessary, new apps themselves, until hopefully the problem goes away.
That's why I've personally taken it REAL slow with ROM flashing, for example. I want to know what works right with what, and I can't stand shooting in the dark when in comes to figuring out the source of a problem.
FWIW

I cave"d" (and came around)

I really can't take the quality control issues any more. I think I am going to try and get a Sensation. I really love the phone, I just can't take the battery over heats, and the screen bleed, and the horrible battery life. I know there will be an impending Gingerbread update that will hopefully fix 2/3 main gripes I have with the phone, but it has still left a bad taste in my mouth. I know that HTC never has this bad of a problem with their phones. I think I am going to try and get a replacement for the Sensation through T-Mobile. If I can't I will deal with warranty replacements until I get a good G2x.
Anyone else starting to feel this conclusion?
I am getting a warranty replacement, and that will be the determining factor for my decision.

Good luck!

Thanks, I know this post won't do well here, but I am really fed up. I have never had a phone with this many out of the box problems. Plus replacements with the same problems! I really want to give this phone a 2nd chance, but its an up hill battle. The power behind this phone is smudged by the short battery life and the overheating issue when charging. I am hoping the replacement I get isn't the same thing as the one I have currently.

What apps do you have on your phone?

Tons, but I have had mostly the same apps since I have had the G2, and I am sure they have nothing to do with this.

Do you have the o2x notification app? I deleted that and reboots stopped... Sounds weird but it is true...
Sent from my butt using XDA Premium App

Well, I depend on that app to. . uh notify me haha. I really don't want to have anxiety and check my phone every five min. Sometimes I cant feel the vibrate so I won't respond for hours if I don't know I have a text LOL, and that's a no no to my GF.

Same here. That app chewed through the battery like nothing else, even with the LED brightness turned down. Caused all kinds of reboots and whatnot. Deleted it and all issues with my phone disappeared instamagically.

So keep your GF happy, and deal with the reboots... Oooooooor fix your phone, keep it and stop obsessing over text messages... Oooooooor try the new notification app that is in the themes and apps section, keep the phone, make your GF happy and save the world...

Ok luv ya buh bye!
I keed I keed. +1 with the notification app, deleting that made my life better. Screen bleed is something I understand too, but that's why I like the notification bar mod sonnysekhon posted in his CM7 themes. Makes the bleed look normal at least until I play a movie or something. Other than that I'm happy. Good luck if you go for the sensation.

Yes but I really depend on it! D: lol. I wish they had an LED notification light on the G2x.
For me its not just screen bleed, its the overheating issue as well, and the poor battery life(yes even with out the app).

Flash faux's 1.2.2 and his 1.9 kernal. It's been rock solid for me. My battery's been off the charger for 10hrs now and its at 57%.

It doesn't matter that you have had your apps since the G2. Apps will act differently from device to device. For instance. I have always had the NFL Mobile app and when I put it on my G2X, it was causing it to overheat and was killing the battery big time. It would drop 10% ever 15 minutes while at idle. The very second I deleted the app, everything went back to normal.

Won't hear any flack from me. I am getting the Sensation as well but I don't know if I am going to give it to my wife or give her the G2X. Either way, which ever one I decide on is hitting the bricks once the Hercules gets here. I already purchased the Sensation and returned it the same day due to over heating, freezing and reboots. Seems like every phone now adays ships with bugs and it's like playing a lottery in order to get a bug free one. Looking over in the Sensation forum isn't to promising considering all of it's own problems.
O well. I'll wait until the Sensation gets released from T-Mobile so I can return it as many times I need to like I did with my G2X. I had to return 3 in order to get a perfect device with absolutely no bugs. I don't settle for bugs on my phone and I wouldn't expect anyone else too.

But I don't have any app like that I am sure, I checked battery history nothing is really out of the ordinary. The only one that I would think is the LED notifier since it has the most use.

I'm with you, I find myself saying "I hate this blasted phone" everyday now. Would be a great phone if it was reliable, but it's not.

Apps certainly do have a lot to do with the rebooting issues that some people are having. My phone has only rebooted maybe once and it was because of an app. Removed the app and no more rebooting. Replacing the phone will do nothing if you continue to use it the same way and don't do any actual troubleshooting yourself.

Hercules is only a code name for the phone. But it does have a nice ring to it.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

Not sure which LED notification app you're using but the one I'm using hasn't caused me any reboots or battery drain (could just be my device but I'm not sure). It's called LG 2x/Black Notifications, made to be used both for the G2x and O2x

Phone hotter than usual...

The last couple days my phone has always been at around 39-40ish Celsius. I'm not sure whether or not its because the days are also getting hotter. Usually around 75ish here in Jersey for the last couple days.
Running HFP 2.1
Any input?

if you have recently installed any new apps, they could be running/locking up and causing excess heat, and if you changed the kernel or just recently upgraded your rom without wiping data, that could definitely cause that too.
either way, as long as your not suffering any really bad performance, or battery life, there is nothing to worry about. this phone is perfectly happy up to 50C (and if you don't care about the longevity of your battery, up to 70C or so)
TL;DR: you've got nothing to worry about

Not games at all. And a few YouTube videos here and there. I don't think its the root of the problem..

You sure about the numbers? Just curious if you have any sources. the stock battery is built for <40°C so idk

The funny thing is, the battery shows do not subject to >40C temps.
But my battery always seems to run over 40 without any problem. So you should be fine. It's normal.

The number your reading is the cpu temperature. a ton of heat dissipates by the time it reaches the battery (and the outside of the phone)
And I'm not 100% about the battery temp, but i am completely sure about the cpu temps. (i honestly don't care about my own battery, they cost like 10 bucks online and are easy to get... And I have a release day phone that hits 60C just about every day, and my first battery is still chugging along fine.
If you have a source for the battery operating conditions id love to get then for reference.

Are you overclocking the CPU at all? That can cause excess heat. Not sure what else it would be besides the combination of warm temperature outside and having the phone/screen on a lot.

Yeah I've always had it to 1.4ghz. Never encountered the heat issue before tho.

it started acting weird lately (last week) so i restored it to a previous version - without wiping first IIRC.

[Q] Display using battery [solved?]

Has anyone ever heard of an instance where the display drains the battery while off? 4 hrs on battery, display using 54%, all others using 4% or less, and display off 85% of the time. 20% remaining.
Just curious. Probably gonna GR then reflash
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Your display is always going to use a large portion of battery. Being on battery for only 4 hours may be misleading. Let your phone run through most of the charge and check again.
As you continue to use it, other apps and services will contribute to battery drainage, in turn lowering the percentage of juice shown used by your display.
Im not trying to imply you are wrong. You may have an issue, and I could be way off base. Just something to think about.
Edit: I re-read your post. It ran through 80% of your battery in 4 hours with minimal use?

Thanks. I was actually just seeing if this has ever happened to anyone before. There has to be something wrong. Just a one day fluke I guess cause today it seems to be going ok so far. I'm just gonna start from scratch and try again.
Tried to thank you for responding, but alas, I am limited to 8 per day. I'll get you tomorrow.

My display also drains a large portion of my battery, but never THAT much. Is your brightness really high at all times? If so, turn it down.

Your battery dies really fast while display is off?
The day I posted it was dying super fast. I have not changed anything and it seems to be better but still draining pretty fast. Running better batt stats app for a few days to see if I can catch what's doing it.
Someone in anton's kernel thread said that the first few charges went great but all of a sudden it's draining fast. This is what happened to me. I'll report back what I find out with the app.

[POLL] Battery life

Hi guys, (& others)
I did a poll in order to inform people who doesn't have HTC One S, & also people who want to situate their HTC One S next to the other HTC.
So, have a good vote, & sorry for my bad English (If I have spoken evil )
Thank you. :good:
Best regards,

Less than half a day when I use it at my level of multitasking.
More than two days at ''normal'' people's level.

I charge twice a day but I am a heavy user and overclocked to 1.8ghz which means more drain on battery heavy use I get 4-5 hours that's intensive use 24/7 love the phone tho
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

I think that the battery life is very nice. I can get between 3-4 hours of screen time and 1-2 hours of talking in the cellphone.
I put the brightness of the screen to 30% in the house , and 50% outdoor.
But it's really depends of what you are doing.

There are many different vote, we can't know if we want an HTC One, S if he has got a good or a bad batterie life. It depend

Techrader has a good review on the battery and their test results. They got 6.5 hours of using it at some max settings.
For example, one day, we took it off charge at 9am, browsed the net, sent a few tweets/emails and made about 40 minutes worth of calls. At 1pm, we fired up the FM Radio and Runkeeper Pro and went for a 90 minute run with the GPS on that whole time.
At 3pm, we were in the car with the HTC One S connected to the stereo via Bluetooth streaming music (and live radio thanks to the Car app which we'll mention in the next section) and using Google Maps Navigation for about 90 minutes again until the battery conked out at just after 4:30pm. Bear in mind, the screen was on for that whole 90 min period too!

I got mine on Monday and I firstly noticed that the battery seemed to be draining fairly quickly. I mean, 14 minutes in and it's at 83%. I decided to turn off all of the 'Location' settings and so far it seems to be going good, however I don't get any weather updates (and I like seeing the weather animations). I've also kept my brightness to just below 50%. I still haven't used it consistently for a whole day, so I don't know how it will go.
