I went 3d 14 hours on battery. didnt really use it but now theres this wierd 10217 battery usage thing
Related
the last couple of days i had to charge my touch pro almost twice per day (heavy usage). I also watched the battery drain very fast.
I have been using a custom taskbar with 1% battery icons. Yesterday i accidentally removed the battery for the taskbar (using the clock now instead) and for some reason i feel that the battery lasts longer. I still have 7/10 bars since yesterday now (2 of them were because i was playing diamond twister which sucks your battery up though).
please noone flame with comments like this is bs etc..as i said i THINK this is the case..i will report back how long it lasts..You are welcome to try it.
It could have something to do with the battery status refresh interval
I have definitely heard that some of the custom battery monitors are huge memory whores because of the problem you noted- they are constantly polling and therefore leading to a heavy drain. If you think the one you installed is doing it I bet it is doing it.
For some reason when I fully charge my phone using the usb , it last much longer. Don't know why. Otherwise my battery is very erratic. I really can't pinpoint any program. I charged my phone in the car for a 3hr trip and then it lasted all day w/hardly any drain...weird... If I turn off the phone and charge via usb, it is the best for me.
ive had loads of htc phones over the years and i agree that custom battery icons do IMHO drain battery alot more
a bit off topic.. but when i got my tp i installed everything i wanted... then uninstalled the things i didnt want.. on and on for about a week..
using sk tools to clean up invalids from uninstalled software..
battery lasted 4 hours...
so i got all the softwares i wanted...
and for some reason, i had to do a hard reset...
so i installed
WAD
WIS
pA
Flexmail
and then the rest of the software i knew i wanted...
for some reason the hard reset... changed something i did, now TP lasts 10-12 hours..
with it checking email every 10 minutes, weather every hour, and me constantly messing with it.
so just a thought.
Same thing happened with my Fuze and also my Tilt.
I dont think that battery drainage is the problem. The battery meter is just inaccurate. I was able to get 8-10 hours of usage before. Now it lasts 2 days with the same usage.
Within the last week, the battery life on my Charge has gone to hell. I used to go a full day plus before my battery died. Now I am lucky to make it through the work day without it dying.
Today, my phone has been unplugged for 3 1/2 hours and already down to 45%, and that has been with light use ( a couple of email and texts and one phone call).
What could cause this drastic change? I am on a stock Charge, and I haven't changed anything recently to affect the battery life.
I had this same thing start happening and from what I can tell looking at Watchdog the gallery is burning up the CPU, 60%+ utilization of the CPU and I hadn't even used it since restarting. I turned off syncing with Picasa to see if that helps.
I did a factory reset, and it fixed my battery life problem. After 1 day and 1 hour, I am still at 26% battery. Much, much better.
Last night before I went to sleep the battery was around 94% after an hour of solid use from a full charge.
I woke up today about 9 hours later and the battery was at 55%. It's been about two hours since then and I'm all the way down to 30% with only about 20-30 minutes of solid use.
What's up with that? Any ideas as to what I can do to fix it?

-Battery calibration, basically drain to 0%, then back to 100% on single charge.
-Try custom rom
-Might be radio, try flashing different found in development thread
-app or widget installed recently?
-look in battery use under settings menu to find what is eating up battery consumption, in your case likely something via cpu consumption (ie not display use)
What is your current set-up?
Check out battery drain threads in general section.
I'm working on battery calibration right now, this is my first day with the phone (I got it about 24hrs ago, actually). I'm gonna let it die then charge it to full.
I'm on a custom ROM right now, QuickWiz v1.0.3. It's blazing fast, no cool features though. I miss my CM7 that I had on my Inspire but the CM7 alpha was a bit too buggy for me.
I'll check into flashing some other radios in a few and I suppose it could be the weather widget I installed. I'll check that and see if it's syncing too often or something.
That's the funniest part. I just looked and I have 1h51m of screen on time (Mostly around 35% brightness, give or take a bit) and it's taking the majority of my battery at 31%. Right under it is Dolphin Browser HD at 13%. I might just swap to another browser, any recommendations? Last under that is the Android OS at 12%, then everything else is under 10% - Cell Standby, Speed Test, Market, then down to 5% which shouldn't matter.
are you using a cpu governor such as system tuner or setCpu? if you are OC'd, id suggest also cpuSpy to determine how long your device is in each state(clock speed)
I am OC'd. i have a setcpu profile for screen off that cuts it down to ~54/400MHz when the screen is off, set to conservative as well.
Hmm, if I had to guess, check the radio. I've had the problem before. As far as browsers go, I like Dolphin HD, just make sure you completely exit out of it when not using, otherwise it can be a resource hog on idle. Since you haven't had the phone long, reflash your rom of choice too if you get such a drive, that has fixed battery issues for me also.
I love my battery life using TPC's ROM with DaG's kernal. I'm also using TPC's CPU zip to govern and set CPU speeds 192-1782MZ without the use of third party programs. Some see zero battery loss when idle over night. I lose maybe 5%.

I installed a new radio with 8% battery left before I went to a birthday dinner. That 8% lasted me through light to moderate use at the dinner for about an hour and a half before, and I got back with 3% remaining.
I also froze a bunch of bloatware which could have also been taxing my battery. I'll wait another few days of use before I flash any other ROM's/Radios to make sure I'm not happy with the battery life and past that, I guess I'll just have to return it for a new battery or an LG Nitro HD instead, if the dev scene starts to pop up for that phone.
Can you link me directly to the CPU script zip?
what was the radio???
I just got the QuickWIz a few days ago and Im having the same battery drain problem while screens off.. its getting on my nerves

Is my battery life ok?
I think my battery is losing capacity or something is draining it a lot since few months ago i still could squeeze out of it about 3.5 hours screen on time, nowadays i get barely 2 hrs.
What also bugs me is that when i unplug it from the charger it loses top 10% very quickly. It goes from 99% to about 90% in just an hour or two in standby. Here are some screenshots, I don't see anything suspicious, still, I get less from it than before.
All screenshots are standby with everything shut, no sync, no internet on, nothing, it consumed 15% in about 9.5 hours and before, i got to lose about 1% in about 10 hours in standby.
Stock austrian rom 2.3.6. rooted.
Why are you still on GB?
lol. Because of the battery life and need fully working rom, but battery is very important to me. Tried stock ICS, after 2 weeks had to get back to GB cause of the battery.
Also, is there something wrong when battery monitor reports high kernel consumption? Sometimes in standby when there is more battery drain it shows high kernel consumption

Can you at least say is it normal for launcher to use about 10% of the battery? It's Holo launcher
Hi everyone,
I don't know why, since a few days ago. battery lost around 3% in a minute without use when is full recharged, after that the perfomance is great, but I don't understand why that happened.
I reset the phone and reinstall ROM 10.0.2 for other reasons, but it's still happened.
Any idea?
Happening the same with me. Although with usage, I get good SOT, around 6-7 hours. But it's weird how fast it goes down from 100 to 90ish something, but it's alright after that.
