Has anyone worked out why it takes so long to charge. I ran mine flat twice and both times it has taken about 10 hours to charge. To me this is not acceptable. Is it becasue of the charger or the hardware on the phone? Both times the device has been switched off so nothing has been draining whilst charging.

Software bug with the charging and battery management. Try doing a soft reset after 4 hours and it will say 100% You may also have noticed that the battery appears to drain sprarodically - ie can stay at a level for some time and then drop by 3 or 4% or more. Again i beleive a software battery management issue.
I agree...shouldn't be taking any longer than an hour (in the car, 40ish minutes in the house). I'd hard reset to see if it would fix the issue. Unfortunately, that is a very big issue to have!
i have the same problem... 6 hours of charging time takes it to only around 89%. can someone confirm that theirs take the normal hour or so? thanks!
try soft reset after an hour, it should work..
the problem is (maybe) with the battery management, where it thinks, it's still charging, but the battery is full charged..

so u mean it is a software glitch?
i really don't want to have to get up every night and soft reset after an hour or so charging!
well..if you charge during night, it's OK, you can sleep..;-)
but you're right..SW glitch..
I think this need to be reported to HTC, cause power management is a really very important part of the system...
Cheers
thanks Druby...i tried what u suggested.... TP was charging for 6~7 hours but still at 89% batt....soft reset, then charge again... reached 100% in 20 minutes!
am very surprised this problem is not faced by more ppl....!
UR welcome..
I still hope, it'll be fixed in any future ROM..
..btw. did anyone write to HTC 'bout this..??

That's insane, I only checked once when someone asked me how long it took to charge, and 2 1/2 hours after it had died on me, it was fully charged again. From absolute zero, wouldn't even turn back on, to 100% full battery in that amount of time (probably much faster, but I didn't bother to check it until they asked). To have your device take 4x as long, there must be some sort of malfunction, that can't be right. I assume you mean charging from a wall outlet and not sync'd with a computer.
Like i said in a previous post, i believe its a software bug. In 6 weeks of use, this has only happened to me once, and was after a deep discharge. Also many people have noticed an erratic battery level indication - ie it can be stuck on 96% for a while and then jump down to 92%. Also many have noticed that doing a soft reset can give a different battery level. If it was a hardware fault, resetting the device and hence rebooting the software would not result in suddenly getting 100% charge.
Indeed... I have the pitchforks, someone grab the torches, we're forming an angry mob and marching up on HTC with it.

I have noticed this also, battery indicator works erratic way, and most probably is a driver fault more than a hardware malfunction...
Sometimes level increase 2-4% when softreset, sometimes increases 5-10% if chrging and softreset... but i beleave is a driver problem...
i sent an email to HTC about....
Cheers
My first TP set had problem where it could not fully charge. I notice that it gets really hot when using it even for a while. The vendor change another TP for me and the current one charge properly. After using it for 3 weeks, the battery performance also improved.
My Touch Pro need about 4-5 hours to bee fully charged
I use original charger from the box.
I still have this problem but the soft reset trick fixes it. Not good though. I have also sent a message to HTC.

Can you all post the HKLM\System\CurrenControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\BatteryPoll DWORD value, please...

mine is 500 in DEC or 1F4 in HEX..
Hi all,
Whats the battery life you people are getting? and also the charge time taken for a full charge. Lets dedicate this thread for posting details about battery life.
Mine is below,
Battery Life : 1 to 1.2 days.
With live widgets and gtalk : less than 22 hrs.
Avg charge time : 4 hours(Too lond )
I got 14 hours with 4hours of wifi...anyway to increase battery life...even when its idle it dropped from 100 to 80...that is without use,is it normal?
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App
Yes its normal & that happens bcoz your data connection remains on which eats battery, if you want to increase battery life you can use free APNdroid widget with this you can switch ON/Off the data connection. Else use juice defender or tasker they both can save battery life to quite an extent. Both have trial version.
In the night I switch to airplane mode & keep my data connection off hence I get 1.5 day of battery usage sometimes even more, if I don't surf the web then I get full 2 days of battery usage.
Charge time 4hours but I have heard that HTC charger can charge faster & gives longer battery life due to current difference. I will try this weekend borrowing it from a friend.
I think I am the first one to Vote. My usage is mainly calls. 1-2 hours of calling. 1 hour at XDA using XDA application with 3g on. 1-2 hours of playing around with the Phone and gallery etc. But with heavy usage, battery life is just enough to come back home and charge after 8 PM. My battery goes down by 3-4% after over night standby not 20% as mentioned in the above post.

This is more dependent on the tower distance near your home & its data signal strength, there are people for whom night time usage is only 1-2% ideal.
Do you feel if i flash a different firmware i would get a better battery life...

Charging Time : 4 hrs (rt its way too long)
Usage without much gprs usage i get around 2 days.
Usage with gprs usage of about 3o mins surfing, email sync, lil chat & fb i barely get thru the day and am at arnd 15-30% by 7pm.
I guess mine's pretty bad eh ?
Overnight i tend to lose about 7%

switch in the night to airplane mode & see how much drain happens.
Well, I have a moderate usage of almost all features (call,mail,camera,music,net radio,browsing,etc.) and it lasts for about 1.5 days.
Yea, full charge time is pretty long if you do not switch off your phone while charging.
Battery life in the long run depends if you have maintained a few golden tips for new batteries:
After unboxing, fully charge the battery in switched off condition. For the first 10-15 charge-discharge cycles, let the battery fully drain and the phone to automatically shut off. Then charge fully and switch on the phone. Avoid charging while phone is on or has quite a bit of charge.
I had a Nokia N91 and following above steps, the battery gave promising backup even after 4 years! Sadly, I lost the phone in Jan this year and bought the i9003.
DEAD CHARGER
Recently my i9003 bundled charger got fked up somehow... it just stopped charging the phone; had a few languishing days charging off the data cable off my laptop. Took to nearest service centre with a photocopy of the bill and it was instantly changed with a similar 700MA charger but of different shape.
Oh, I seemed to find a friend who is the tech there and jumped the long queue! LOL
I get about 24-28 hours battery life. I calibrated my battery after flashing to XXKB3 and I think that brought the best out of the battery. Running SuperPower and I mainly use Wi-fi while surfing.

how long is ur charge time with 700mA Charger?
I agree with the OP about seriously long time to charge! I had an X10 earlier and that used to fully charge in 2.5 hrs, but this takes really long. To just reach 100 from 90 it takes like about an hour!
well mine since i flashed 2.3.4 only stays for 18 hrs max with less than average usage only talk in for 1 hrs 2g maybe and browse use ebook for 1 hr maybe that is all when i used froyo 2.2.1 it used to stay for 1.5 day
any ideas of wht i can do i did battery calibration and am using xda super power
on xxkph i was getting about 15hrs with amits oc 1.1
after flashing xxkpm i seem to be blown away
im using xxkpm and cf root by skin and im getting 1 day 5 hrs with heavy usage and 2 days 4 hrs on moderate usage
well mine is jxkp3 cause it have arabic in it's languages but do u think this could be the reason why my battery is so low and fast drained it is also rooted

No, It's cause your on froyo. That's why.
No I'm usin gingerbread actually
i dont understand y people *bump* old threads
seriously,how do they search these threads!
Like many, (most?), I got severe battery drain from the Tizen 3.0 update. I did the factory reset that was recommended, but it didn't help, still losing 75-80% during one days use. But this morning, after charging overnight, I power cycled (held power down until it rebooted), and put it back on the charger. It said 100%, but the light was red, so I left it on, probably another half hour, and the light turned green.
Today, I'm back to pre-update battery use! 7am-8pm, and I'm only down 25%. So I should be back to at least 2 day, if not 3 days of use . Hope that helps someone!
I'm going to try this now, and will report back. My battery usage seems to be getting worse, not better.
BT or LTE?

It's been 5 days later, and I've noticed significant improvements. I've have the watch off the charger with typical use and I'm at 56%. I've been getting 2 days usage before needing to recharge. AOD is off.

When you charge it, do you leave it on or off?
I have tried all means. Reset, change when off, change when on, but my gear 3 won't charge pass 94%. After 90%, it begins to decline very fast..
I've had this phone for two weeks now and the past few days every time I charge it to 100 it instantly drops to 99 after 2-3min of use. I'm not running any heavy programs either if I just have the screen on it will drop. In the screenshot below I had 13min of use and it went down to 98. Is this happening to anyone else? I don't have power saver mode on.

Well, if the phone is 100.0000000, the instant you turn it on it is less than that, correct?

It shouldn't drop 2 percent in 13min should it if the screen is just on?

Seems to be just about right
If you're not getting good enough screen on time and did factory resets already, try reflashing the system. It worked for me.
Mine does the same exact thing. My note 9 never had this issue and I'm only seeing 3 to 3 1/2 hours on screen time..
My samsung SM-N975U battery averages 1d 0h 0m (19h 50m 0s active usage) on a single charge.
My note 10+ goes from 100 to 97 in about 5 minutes. Current situation -
upload
The last thing I'll complain about is going from 100% to 97% in 5 minutes with this type of battery life.
I am in a situation where it feels like its draining faster then it should, but Im also using it more than I should, so I dont know if a phone issue or a me issue. Im gonna do a reset to see if the results remind.
I realized that the Secret for obtaining high amounts of battery life (screen in time) is if you consistently use the phone.I found that I can easily get 10 hours if I'm constantly using the phone to the point where the screen is on for 10 hours. The second I put the phone to sleep and I don't use it as much is when I start heading 6 to 8 hours of screen on time. It's weird how they've implemented this but,
I now just use my device without even concerning myself with the battery life for screen on time because it doesn't really matter. In the back of my mind I know I could get 10 hours if I actually spent that amount of time on my device with the screen on. When it comes to regular usage 6-8 hours on a device that lasts a day and a half sometimes almost 2 days I don't think it's anything to complain about
The problem is that your phone like mine must have came with 4300 or less mAh ... Most likely less ... Mine has 4280 mAh I am very pissed at Samsung for that since my hauwei p30 pro phone have almost 4800 mAh so it spends 8 hours in 100 percent until it starts to decrease the battery that is why so many fear hauwei I guess it was my first phone from then and it's amazing how it is superior to anything I have ever seen before ...
Ya me too how solve battery drain issues
I have a issue with regards to the battery where if the battery is reaches 10% , then from 10 to 0% drains within 1min. Any idea how to fix this or issue with the battery?
I just have this phone for 3 days, and my battery is draining fast! I charge battery to 100%, I go to sleep for 5-6h and when I wake up is 91% in idle mode... After 3h is 85%... I work I don't stay on the phone... And when I arrive home is 65% doing nothing only texting with my wife!... Why?

Maybe some app you have downloading is taking a lot of battery in background. Probably That's why
I just do a factory reset, was 100% when I do that, and now I watched YouTube and for 1h20 min instal my apps and sett my phone, and 40min YouTube, and I have 84% now! It's wow

I mean that's actually really great. Yeah probably it was just happening because of an app and when you did factory reset it got removed. Okay good, Have a great day dude.
