Guys, after flashing CRB7/CRAP I had been told to wait 7 days for this option to appear and my phone has 170 hrs uptime and I see nothint, should I restart?
I'd let it go for just a tad longer, 10-12 hrs, and this is not by experience, but just a pre-caution.
I think this is the first I've seen this question. I'd like to know, as well

Hi guys, this is my first post, even though ive been around on the wizard forum until i got this phone about 4 days ago. Ive tried searching for this but didnt find anything useful, so here goes, the battery life on this phone seems horrible, the first day i got it, it semeed to last about 8 hours, this is with me messing around with it, and getting familiarized with it. I charged it for a couple of hours, to get me half way. then at night the phone died completely, im like ok no problem, ill leave it charging overnight. the next day its fully charged great! so I go run some errands, left the hours around 1 pm by 4pm the phone has one block on the meter im like wtf, this is with only one 5 min phone call and a couple of texts... Today i measured the life of the battery at about 3 and a half hours. is this normal? also the phone gets sort of warm when charging. Is there tweaks, or something to do with the early charge of the battery? My wizard which is about 2 years old, lasts me all day and some of the night. Is my battery or phone defective? I have also noticed that while the phone is hooked up to my computer via usb and active sync, and im messing with it, it will not charge. thank you and I will apreciate your help!

A completely stock Fuze will have OK, but not great, battery life. The phone will get warm if you hold it in a manner that blocks the internal antenna. This is caused by the phone working harder to maintain it's signal.
Here's my advice:
Read up on HardSPL for Raphael. Flash it.
Flash a custom "cooked" ROM to your Fuze. (Mine are great [obviously ], but there are many to choose from.)
Security Unlock your Fuze so that you can flash radios from other compatible HTC phones. I'm using a Diamond radio at the moment, and battery life / performance is excellent.
Lastly, please do not ask "which ROM is best". There is no correct answer for this. Try them all until you stumble upon one you like.

Hey guys, so I'm running Mango 7712, and my Samsung Focus battery only lasts for like 2 hours of actual use. For every 10 minutes of using the phone my battery loses up to 8%, and this is while not playing games or doing anything stressful to the battery. I can probably max out at 6 hours if I don't use the phone.
I don't have the best memory, but I remember my phone being able to last 4 or 5 hours of actual use. But I could be wrong, if you have a Focus, is it as bad as mine? Should I buy a new OEM battery? (And I've tried to recalibrate it, that didn't work, I think it made it worse actually)
Nope just you, my focus has amazing battery. Best out of any smartphone I've owned actually, it can easily last me two days of moderate use... one full day with heavy use (around 15 hours of heavy browsing with music and stuff.)
Im using stock NoDo though, dark background/theme auto backlight. Don't know if mango could have anything to do with your issues.
I have both omnia 7 and hd7 .
Funny thing is that both battery life last the same when surfing continously on 3g.

Yeah I dunno what's up with mine, it used to get me through the day before, now it just sucks. I've heard people say that Mango increased their battery life though. I'm gonna try buying a new OEM battery and see if that helps.
These phones have been out for less than a year so should be under warranty. I have had a weird anamoly a couple of times with my Focus though. Fully charged and when I rebooted it gave me low battery warning. Took battery out and back in and was back to normal. Has happened 3 times in the last 4 months.

That happened to me too! Like it was stuck at 1% even though it truly had 30% left, I left it like that until it died, and then it went back to normal.
Mine isn't bad. A far cry better than my 3gs. I can get about 10 to 13 hours of decent usage. It does go down to about 8 hours if I have music playing for most of the day.

Hi Ryken,
How old is the SIM card that you are using? I have read in other parts of the forum that people have had decreased battery life issues when using an old SIM, once they had it replaced with a new one the battery life increased considerably.
Hope this helps,
Creamy
This usually happens when flashing a new ROM - you need to let your battery recalibrate itself. There are a few examples of this in the forums.
if yr sim card is around 2 years or more, it may have worn out. the gold contacts may have worn out, so change to a newer one
I did this an dmy battery life has been great
yr sim card works 24 hours 7 days a week for 2 years, just imagine how much of a beating it has taken .
Well my sim card is 10 months old, I got it with my phone last November when WP7 launched. Is that old enough to be bad? I've bought a new Samsung battery, it should arrive tomorrow or Thursday, I'll tell you guys how that goes for me?

10 months is nothing to worry about
BB agreed to replace my One X after showing them this... So, how much talk time was this? 11 minutes. Screen time you ask? 36 minutes. Total time to burn 77% of the battery/ 5 hours 23 minutes. My concern is that the phone doesn't always do this. I've spent the last two weeks modifying various things, notifications, screen brightness etc. What disturbs me is that the phone is always the culprit. 11 minutes talk time using roughly 25% of the total battery. Perhaps I live between two cells and, even though I'm getting 5 bars 4G LTE at home, it is constantly jumping back and forth? I don't want to turn off LTE, it's the reason I bought this phone. Is this just a lemon of a phone or could there be an underlying issue that could affect my new one as well. I've also gone days where the phone has gone 26 hours with 2 hours talk time and 2+ hours screen time. Still love the phone though, we'll see how the second one does.
The topic of battery life has been discussed extensively in other threads. Don't start a new topic without doing a search first.
To avoid confusion, lets keep the battery talk here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612612
Ok, so I have my Sensation XE since februrary never experienced battery issues since, except in the past these days. I usually recharge my phone once every 2 days, but now I am *forced* to recharge it every day right before going to sleep.
I don't know what to say excepting giving you some situations. I fully charged my phone saturday at around 5-6 PM. Next day at around 5 PM my battery went to a little under 15%. My phone usage was minimal (only 45 minutes of display), i don't really talk much on the phone, I don't remember how many minutes I spent on phone calling during that time, but I know it was around 10-15 minutes MAX.
Now more recently... i fully charged my phone on the following day (sunday, yesterday) at around 11 PM. Now it's 7 PM, Monday and i'm sitting on 14% 2h27m display time (in 20h30m since discharging from 100%). I usually get a time of 1d10h with 2 hours of display on, but now I'm struggling to get more than 24 hours.
I'm really considering replacing my battery with a better one (not the OEM standard one).
PS: I haven't changed my usage habits, I haven't installed anything that could drain my battery (besides, I always follow the "Awake" bar on the battery history details, and it's ok), I'm using stock ROM.
Try rooting and install different ROM. See if it helps. If not then maybe its time to get a new battery. Btw Anker 1900 mah battery is cheap and works very well. I bought some time back and really happy with this.

No. I want to keep it stock.
If you're going to get a new battery, I'd advise you to get an Anker.
I'd try another battery then if you want to keep stock not much can be done in the way of tweaking. I highly recommend a extended battery. Anker is a good one. If you want an even bigger battery try mugen. Most are very happy with Anker.its inexpensive and works well..best of luck.

I've solved my problem, the battery is fine. I removed Google+ (or at least the data associated with it).

Hi all.. Before i begin the rant, i will ask everyone to excuse me for any bad language i might use but i've reached a point where i haven't been in all these years, a point of so much dissapointment and rage, words cannot even describe.. Okay.
15 days ago i bought a Note 3 from a local store and problems began 8 hours into the day. I charged it from 50% (factory) to the full 100% took it out of the plug and i don't know what i was expecting, but with moderate use (screen at low but constant usage, youtube app, facebook and some internet browsing) about 4-5 hours screen time that is, at around 6-7 hours the battery was already 15%.. Okay i told to myself it's the first day "what you gonna do".. Fast forward because i don't wanna waste your time reading this whole text, next day i had even worse so i did 2 factory resets (because i screwed up some of the application manager apps) and it was still ****.. I began to get used to having a ****ty battery life but i guess a good screen, but now, i've had enough.. I updated the firmware yesterday and it is bull ****ing ****.. Then i started to turn off applications again and i panicked and then for some reason the gallery wouldn't show up so i turned some things again on and it did, now i disabled some again and things work blablabla, but 1 hour into the battery ( i think 1 hour might be 1 and a half i don't know) it's at 75% having 2 episodes of two and a half men and disabling enabling apps..
I haven't ever ever EVER had so many problems with a device, i really don't know if i was just ****ing expecting a limousine or something but i'm getting a poor zastava and i feel so so so ripped off.. As an iPad 3 owner and a previous iPhones 3gs owner, yes the apps are limited and yes it's definetely slower, but i can get 2-3 days out of the battery and whatnot.. Plus, i won't panic and lose my brain and have my whole body tremble as i don't know what the **** i'm disabling and what should be disabled what kind of this app this is, i.e sns, printing services, all kinds of ****.. Please tell me note 3 users what your experiences are (I got mine 15 days ago preloaded with ****kat so jelly bean users don't rub it in my face, i couldn't do anything about it) and tell me if i'm just the unluckiest person in the world and got the only note 3 that doesn't work or is the note 3 just plain bullcrap that just has a big screen to show off and then procceeds to being more crap than a ford pinto..
TL;DR At this point i wouldn't recommend ANYONE buy the note 3 because if this is how the phone works, you're better off buying any other device (Prefferably nexus 5) than this **** right here.
(Right now i can't upload screens of stats because the stats screen was reset for some reason and even though it's showing me 1 hour of usage, when i go into screen settings it shows me just 16 mins wich is totaly untrue since 1 let alone 2 two and a half men episodes last 20 mins.. Will upload later when i finish banging my head on the wall and eating my own hand.)

I am sorry about your experience with the note 3. I can see your frustration. Have you tried looking in the Note 3 threads for similar battery issues. If you tell me the type of Note 3 (carrier) I can better help you like give you the correct thread to go to.
