[Q] Serious Battery Problem - General Questions and Answers

Just this week my phones battery has lost its mind. I use a my touch 4g with the standard battery and had a usual battery life of 12 hours or more easily. Now from this Tuesday I've had a battery life of 4 hours from 100% to 0%. I have to charge the battery 3 times a day. Most of the battery is used when idle for some reason and I've looked at what uses the most battery in spare parts but the app will constantly crash.

Inconsistent Battery Life?

My Fuze has started to exhibit some very odd battery life behavior. Over the past 10 days or so, I've noticed a pattern of extremely poor battery life every other day. I recharge my phone everyday overnight, but some days the "low battery message" appears only after a few hours. I'll reconnect to a charger to make it through the day and then recharge overnight as is my typical routine. The next day, the battery will last me all day and not drop below 50% before I reconnect the charger before going to bed.
Today the "low battery message" came on only after 4 hours of battery use in which I did not make a single phone call, text, e-mail, etc. Yesterday I used the phone heavier than normal and the battery was going strong well into 11:00 PM.
I'm not sure if this is a battery issue or a phone issue, but I'll be darned if I can figure out what the heck is going on. Any thoughts?
I bet its most likely that the phones battery isn't properly calibrated and is why it doesn't show correct battery drainage. I would just buy a new battery if i was you.
Or load up a new rom to your device which cause the battery to need to be re-calibrated and should drain rather quickly over the first days and then go back to normal.( Note- you should allow battery to drain low normally before a full charge again)
But if your battery is just at its end this is pretty much useless, so either try it at your own risk, or just buy another battery -> Really cheap on ebay from trusted sellers!

almost 2 days with one charge

i used the phone with light to moderate use from 9 am yesterday until about half an hour ago.
i had 4g turned off most of the time and used lte switch to change that. Gps was also turned off the entire time.
I had juicedefender ultimate and had that set on aggressive with the battery thing set to 25% (sorry forgot what it was called). That turned off all radios after hitting 25%.
I am also using the stock 1600mAh battery that came with the phone.
I've reached 2 days with moderate use and still had around 20% battery life to spare by the end of the second day. This was after I was trying to calibrate my battery so I needed it to die. I decided to see if the calibration had already took effect so I turned JuiceDefender Ultimate on and wallah. 2 day battery life.

Battery charging time improved!!!!!!!!!!

There's probably a thread about it, but I just wanna share my battery life experience after the update. I got the tmobile sensation and before the update, charging my phone from 0 to 100% while the phone was on took at least 4 1/2 hours. Now it takes about 2 1/2 hours. Great improvement! Plus the battery last longer.
After second drain (100 to 0%), second recharge was really faster. About 3 hours form 0 to 100% with phone off.
Battery life was longer either.
Really? Lucky you guys then! I've found the battery life to be worse after the update
My Phone charges even faster 20% in a few minutes! And Great battery life with custom ROM ...
Second charge, almost the same time.
With an average usage.

What app is that?
The app is SystemPanel (paid version is worth it).
No updates, no root, all stock - moderate use, original battery, now I start seeing nearly 30hr on one charge. First few days where a lot shorter.
On the first day, i let phone drain battery completely, charged without switching phone on-did this few times and battery improved.

Larger 3rd party battery problem...

I'm aware that not many of you are looking into specific threads in Accessories section so I'm putting my problem also here. I will be grateful for any help.
I bought 2x Chichitec batteries for Evo3D (this is probably the same Chichitec product as for Sensation).
I put in Chichitec battery (the phone showed about 59%), I discharged it till the phone switched off (noticed slightly better life than stock). Then I plug in charger and charged the phone for about 8 hours (much longer than charging to 100%). Then I unplugged, went to Recovery and deleted battery stats. Now the phone started to discharging much QUICKER than on stock battery! In about 14 hours of practically zero use, the battery went down to 8% and... it was on 8% for 7 hours! When the phone finally switched off I charged it again for 8 hours, unplugged and again, the battery life is very weak - 20% in 6 hours of idle (I was sleeping).
I haven't installed anything or turned on any setting, which could cause more draining.
Did I do something wrong? It appears that it has much worse life than stock battery and suddenly it works for several hours at the same % level... What can I do to make the phone show correct battery % level? Or is this Chichitec battery poor?
Anyone?

could be a faulty battery... the resistance could be slightly less... there is a couple of things that arn't phone related however let it run for a few days and allow the stats to be built up again

[Q] Battery

I know I know, that the battery for this device isn't the best. What I've noticed that the battery in my device seems to be draining a little faster. I have had the phone since it was released, I have not changed ROM from what is listed in my sig. and now I'm getting about 12 hrs of life, while I was getting about 24 hrs.
Usage has not changed.
Is it possible that the battery is not maintaining its charge?, although it charges to 4206mv according to the battery calibrator app, and has charged to that level for months and months.
Any thoughts?
