draining battery - myTouch 4G General

Im running the JoyOS ROM and Im only getting like an hour of battery life everyday when I wake up my phone is dead. Ive tried to even turn the wifi off at night and it still dies. And yes Ive also got a new battery same results. I wanna keep the ROM because its sounds great in my truck

Download a WakeLock detector or BetterBattery Stats to find out whats draining your battery.

It's not saying what is draining it. It could be dead and I go into recovery and it would say I have 50 percent battery life

That happens a lot. It's most likely your battery giving away.
Happens to me to.

I got a new battery and that's not the case because I flashed MyDoubleShot and it worked fine had to switch back because I wasn't getting my text messages

OH NO.. Help.. Sudden Battery Drop..

I usually get around a days worth of battery life with medium to heavy usage..
Last night i charged my phone 100% and when i woke up after 5 hours it was completely out of Battery.. I didnt use it overnight.. Any idea what could have caused this??
The phone too wasnt awake..
My phone is around 1 month old..
Edit: Unrooted phone
Are did you flash a new rom? If you did you would have to re-calibrate your battery

Could you have left something running in the background, a game, or WiFi?
Or did it even charge.... Could the cord be plugged out?

Though i would like to add that i did add a new Thyparancy Skin a couple of days ago and made a custom lock ring..
But a Skin shouldnt cause problems should it??
Because i have seen people use them without any problem whatsoever

Nothing of that sort..
I did charge it 100% and am sure of that.. Plus i wasnt playing anything and even wi-fi, gps and bluetooth were off..
In battery usage it is even showing as asleep and screen off..
faulty battery buddy it seems....I am also using the same theme as yours and the phone has 2 hrs of on screen time
Ok for you guys having battery life problems Here is what I did .My phone was dead in six hours. After doing this I am at 2% per hours no problems. Even though I have only one sync which is HTC mail on demand I did not set times within the mail app to sync you need to set those parameters to only sync once every two hours in peak hours and one every 6 hours in offpeake time. I found all this out by using better battery stats partial wakelocks and current widget I hope this helps a few people! I unplugged my phone at 8:45 AM yesterday and am at 42% right now so It is running like a champ.

New battery

I just got a new battery from HTC, a replacement for the stock one um using. Should I charge the new battery as sion as I put it on the phone or shall I use it and wait til it die before I charge it to have a better battery life?

The batteries that come with a new phone are usually around 40%, they do this because 40% is a perfect amount to charge at. If you battery you receive is at around 35%-45%, I would give it a full charge, if any less, or at 85%+ I would use it until it runs out, then search the android market for a battery calibration app.

I have a stock phone no rooting or not flashed. Are there any battery calibration app for a stock phone?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
I just used the replacement battery but everytime I look at the stats it still shows the stats from the old battery. How can I clear the stats to start a new one. My phone is pure stock out of the box no root or flashing. Ty.

Battery :(

I'm at 6% after only being on for 3:56 right before that I went to recovery and wiped the battery stats and then the battery calibration blah I just got this battery brand new like maybe a week ago its an HTC stock battery at 4200-4300mV

Try putting the phone down for at least a lil while.

lol, 4 hours of constant use with screen on. I would say that battery is working well.
Ok good just making sure its not messed up and Idk why but to me the whole 4200mV when fully charged seemed high I mean its at 3900 when charging Idk lol but thanks guys
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
I usually top it about 4213mv when I'm fully charged.
Mine jumps back and fourth between 4200 and 3900 also.
Okay good I never took notice with my other battery and Idk just thought it could be a high number xD

May I ask what app(s) you're using to generate your battery data (graph and calibration)?
Battery calibration app and the stock setting battery information on abso 3.2
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Using the phone with screen on for 4 hours and whatever apps or games you're playing + wifi or GPS or data can definitely kill your battery in 4 hours. You can do the while calibration method but if you've already done that then nevermind. If you're not using your phone for the 4 hours and it died that fast then yes something is wrong.

Yea I was doing it as a self test and just wanted to see if that were a good amount of time I bought the battery from new egg for 15 and it was a stock HTC battery

Wow that's crazy! It seems that the phone is in almost constant use for 4 hours straight! Wifi was always on, screen is almost always on, and it's awake almost all the time. I think the battery is doing well then. Just don't go crazy with it too much.

Not bad battery life for me lol

Nice wait but that jump upward toward the end, were you charging it there, send a screen of the graph with the usage pattern under it
And you recharged it abit
Hehe. But seriously I get around 17 hours of pretty good life. Moderate to heavy use with still about 30% remaining
Just sick and tired of these people complain about horrible battery life

Haha nope not quite we mean like tap the "screen" entry so we can see how many hours of screen-on time you've had, and also possibly tap the usage graph then it shows when your phone was awake, when WiFi was on/off, when it was charging etc.

As much as I do like the phone. I'm quite annoyed at the battery life and am thinking of ways to improve it and etc. but it doesn't seem to be working. I get like 8 hours and by then it's at 30% MAX. Usually around like 20 or so. 10 hours and it's pretty much dead. Am I doing something wrong? my screen is only on for about an hour and a half or so, maybe 2 hours. Lowest brightness setting, 4g off, 2g on, wifi on.. that's about it. I mean as much as I love HTC, I can't love this battery life...

Yes you're doing something wrong or have a faulty unit. Make sure you flash a good ROM (I'm using aokp) and that's it. I have my screen at about 25% brightness and here are my stats which is quite acceptable.

@devgee Lol wow 5hr37min screen and almost 10hrs thats quite impressive, all things considered hang on how is your phone still ON at 1% not charging? Mine shuts down at 4% generally...unless I charge it till 7% and unplug, then it runs to 0% before powering down?

Might be the 1% battery mod which has been added to the viper Rom (Don't know really)
I was too surprised when it was 1%
Usually it shuts down at 3% or 4%!

Well this is what I got.
This was back on CM. That rom game amazing batt life.
I don't have the screen time pic but it was just over 4 hours. Still had 1/5 of the battery left too! With this phone I just leave gps, wifi, antenna and sync on. It's so rare for me to NOT last a full day that I see no point in being conservative about use anymore.

[Q] battery for htc inspire 4g

wierd situation i am in. my battery charges to 100 %....i tinker with it and little by little my battery drains to about 90%...heres the thing though....i reboot the inspire and the battery says its up to 97 again. after some usage, it will get to 56 %....i tinker some more, then reboot it. then it is back to 78 %. i have done the battery calibration, manually wiping battery stats through recovery. why is my inspire giving me false battery stats. even when im at 10 %, my cell stays on forever. its like the device is not recognizing its true charge. anybody have any ideas on why this is doing that? any feedback would be appreciated. oh, btw, this phone has done this even when i was pure stock before root. i tried installing a new battery, but that does the same thing.
plz help
What ROM?
Have you let the battery discharge fully after calibrating?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app
Maybe it's corrupted install
Have you tried a different OS or version?
I have tried it all..new battery..full wipe..battery cal apparently..it does it on all roms
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
You haven't answered what ROM you're using. Also you haven't confirmed whether you took the battery to a full discharge after calibrating it.
Calibration is a myth. What ROM? Which new battery?

Maybe it's the port..it sometimes takes a few before the phone aactually starts to charge.
