I've noticed that my battery is charging slower with the new 1.5 builds.
I'm using Dude's 1.1a, and a friend is experiencing the same with one of Haykuro's builds (I didn't actually notice until he mentioned it). We're both using the new radio firmware, so I guess that could be what is causing it.
Is anybody experiencing the same thing? And does anybody know why? I'm not really worried about it, just curious. (I have to charge my G1 every chance I get because the battery life is horrible anyway)
I admit my battery is draining a bit slower than when I was using the previous RC33 builds, but I think that's due to the new radio firmware.
P.S. - I searched the forum and didn't spot any threads addressing this issue, so please forgive me if it's a dupe.
Mine is like that too ... appears the batter charges slower than before.

Yes. Charge time has increased on 1.5 but is offset by a much slower drain.
I've noticed that sometimes the battery meter doesn't update to 100% until rebooted. It just sits there claiming it's still charging. Maybe the issue isn't slow charging but a dodgy reading from the system?
The battery does in fact charge slower if you leave the phone on. If you turn the phone off it will charge as fast as it used to. This is because when the phone is one it "trickle charges". If you have batter graph, you'll see what I mean. When the phone is off it will charge directly (a straight line going up).
I had that problem also. Try and download the radio from the htc website and flash that. That's what I did and now its working perfectly!!

Im having the same problem, very frustrating
Mine's charging slow, too. It's not the radio. That's 2.22.19.261.

Before updating to Cupcake and the new radio firmware, my phone charged much faster even while powered on.
I don't see it so much a problem (especially since the battery drains slower now), but I wanted to know if other people noticed, too.
Same here, it charges way slower... BTW GO ORLANDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *sorry for the OT*

when off, it's a straight line going up because the battery graph app (watts) doesn't record the battery percentage when the phone is off, so the next point it records is 100% (or whatever percent it is when u turn it back on) that's why it is a straight line.
ok so latly my battery has been dieing so quick

i dun really know because i bought it used
the phone use to last untill like 8 hours while tlking on the phone
now it wont even last for an hour
Also you can buy a new battery, they are cheap this days

try conditioning your battery, you do this by running your phone down til' it turns off. Then, charge (while off) for about 7 hrs.

lol both correct, but try what wiredvs says first. When under heavy use, the battery gauge does not display the crrect charge sometimes. You will charge it until the green light shows (normally full yes?) and take it off charge, but the phone will not be fully charged.
Charging it for at least double the time with device off should rectify the issue, its a common "quirk" of winmo devices under heavy usage.
If it doesnt work then ur battery is fried so time to get a new one

Wait, what? You can talk on these things? OMG YOU'RE RIGHT!? I've never done that.
Seriously, I suspect your battery is dead, so I'm agreeing with, well, every other post in this thread. My battery has gotten weird too.. I tracked a bunch of battery usage on my phone back when it was new, now when I do the same thing the readings seem to be higher than they were because I'm basing it on percentage of battery used. I've found actually monitoring the battery usage tends to use more battery so I wanted to avoid that.
Also I've noticed mine charges up to about 88% then suddenly thinks it's 100% full. It's about time for a new one.

Lol how ironic!
What do you guys do to maximize your battery life? I just can't seem to get decent life. Average is probably 5 hours with heavy usage.
Any recommendations?
Sorry if there is already a thread, I don't have a computer right now and I don't think I can search on tapatalk.
Thanks in advance.

The usual - brightness as low as you can stand, radios not in use turned off, screen timeout 15 seconds, 200-1400 conservative governor in SetCPU.
Search AutoKiller in the market -- choose "optimal" profile, so far has given me an extra two hours today over what I got yesterday.
5h of heavy use is good already.
You can tweak your idle batt life, 2g-only, undervolted kernel, avoiding power hungry rom.
Idle battery life is just amazing with stock... just test it over night, 6hrs get 2/3% for me.
I can get 30hrs with 4hrs with screen on, the screen is the key here, i can get 5hrs with 4hrs with screen on too. ;o)

Try a kernel that is made to optimise batt life with display active, like the XTEUV92 Trinity kernel.

I tried almost every single combination of rom + kernel. And for me, pure stock has the best battery life, by far.
But i'm getting bored and should flash something... )
Ps: afaik trinity doesnt work with stock. Did it change?

See my signature, stock (rooted and removed soom Google apps) with Trinity, works together just fine
How would you define "heavy" usage?
Also, what does your "battery use" stats say? (Settings - About Phone - Battery Use)
5 hours of truly heavy usage (online gaming, for instance) is actually to be expected.

i'm using the same stock 2.3.4 as your signature and tried the morfic kernel from yours, but got no lock at all, freezes and reboots...
that's a little strange for me, first time i see it in my device... =o\\

You can create a custom prl setting. Turn wifi to never sleep when you're at home... Have the prl to auto *CDMA or GSM* Which ever your network is on. (This goes to all Nexus S. users). So you have wifi on with a signal and 3g off. The phone stays in 2g for calls and uses wifi for data. Turn off google location services while your at home, turn off roaming, turn all of that off. I get about 13 hours of battery life with heavy usage. People think wifi drains your battery but it doesn't if you have mobile data turned off. When you have 3g turned on it's constantly searching for a better connection. If you have wifi on and a strong connection it isn't constantly polling.
are there any charging habits that would help prolong battery life? I usually just charge my phone every night cause, if I remember correctly, these batteries don't have a memory or anything. anyone know if that is the smartest thing to do?

I hope you don't mean overnight. I don't know if phones have auto-cutoff feature (a la laptops), but it's safer just not to charge overnight.
I personally use an extension that has a timer built-in. Nifty. Set the timer, plug the phone in, it will automatically start and stop the charging at the predetermined times. I usually time the charging to end right before I wake up, so the battery doesn't stay fully charged for too long. I heard batteries corrode faster when they're fully charged.
When my battery life starts getting shorter than usual, I let them drain until the phone turns off automatically (well I actually try not to get to that point, but seldom succeeded ), and as soon as possible charge it until full.
Usually the battery holds longer then. It has something to do with teaching the battery about the true empty and true full.. or something.....
AFAIK. CMIIW.
doesn't the nexus s have a built in cut-off feature so it will only charge to 95% though? I figure that would take care of the full charge issue. i'm also not sure if lithium ion batteries have a memory, but you could always reset the battery stats if you're on root to compensate for the whole draining and fully charging thing.

Battery stats! That's the word I was looking for No I wasn't referring to the memory effect
I don't know what would happen when the cut-off feature kicks up. My Nexus S still shows a charging icon even a while after full, so I don't wanna risk it.
The best way is by touching the charger unit after a while and see if it's warm/hot. If it is, it's still charging. But you gotta give it time to cool down first (after it's finished charging) Haven't gotten around to it, though. Always forgot to check the charger

lol, I know that my phone for sure won't charge to 100% from watching it, so even after a night of charging it's still at 95%. I've read a few explanations on this forum about the whole not fully charging thing too, so i'm pretty sure that it's like that on purpose.
I had battery saver installed and seemed to do great work but when uninstalled, my tablet's battery doesn't last more than 30 mins and it got much slower too. No virus was detected from CM though.

It can be due to many reasons. Firstly, there can be many heavy ram consuming apps running in background. Try to close them. Keep the brightness of screen low. Keep Wifi and Other data connections off when not needed. You can also turn off auto-rotation. This will increase your battery backup to a considerable amount.
Incase, it doesn't makes much of a difference, you should buy a new battery !

This isnt a battery save issue. When it reaches like 92% it instantly goes to 56 and at about 51% it goes like 15% or less, or it may even go from 54% instantly to zero. How can i possibly change battery? Its a tablet. How can i open it? If taken for service will they accept it? Its rooted.

I'm sorry. I didn't read your question properly.
Keeping in mind what you're saying, it seems like a "Failing Battery" . Tablet batteries can be changed but you will have to unroot first or the people at service center won't accept your device. So, unroot first and then go to service center.

Hello guys.. I have oneplus 6 device..
If I don't use phone for a long time, it will affect my mobiles battery.?
Am working in oil field.. so I couldn't use it when am on site.. 42 days I couldn't use.. my rotation is 42 days work and 21 days off..
So please tell me what are the measures I have to do when I don't use phone for a long time..
Your quick support is highly appreciated..

Ideally lithium-based chemistry batteries, but only if not used for a very long time, should be removed from device and stored at around 40% state-of-charge.
Recommended storage temperature is 15 °C (59 °F).

I think that OP6 battery should remain in place without problems.
Charge it at about 50% and leave phone powered off in a moderately cool place.
42 days aren't really a big amount of time, so there's no need to worry about it...
