Tp2 discharging on STANDBY ?

hey, last night i fully charged my TP2, i used a little bit
and when i went to bed it was at 92%..
when i wake up today the battery is on 30%...
and i cant really understand? what phone does that??
heres some info of the battery usage
Last full charge 10:32pm, Sunday Jul 26,2009
since last full charge:
standby time: 8hours 45 minutes
talk time: 0hours 0 minutes
Device Usge: 1 hour 0 minutes.
so can someone tell me if this is normal of the tp2 or somethings
wrong with mine ?
thanks in advance?

Had same problem with mine. Culprit in my case was Voice2Go software which is like MS Voice Command.

A few obvious candidates in the stock ROMs for this are
Push email
Other email accounts set up to auto refresh
Push Internet
Facebook checking for events every hour or so
Weather app set to auto refresh
Stocks app set to auto refresh
RSS feed set to auto update
Google maps updating your position online via Latitude
I'm sure there are a few others

thanks for the replies... but
no i dont have any of thoose turned on...
i dont think i have anything
that would use some connectivity or something..

Mine died overnight when I paused watching a tv episode using HTC Album and went back to the Home screen. I've had it happen a few times always when watching a video and pausing it or going back to the Home screen with the Home key. It seems like you need to stop the video and not just pause it otherwise it kills my battery. I now make sure I stop the video and then usually kill the process for good measure.

Mine never loses charge when in Standby.
Charged it last night. This morning still 100%.
​

also i have noticed that my USage time is A LOT
MORE than the standby time..
i think that the device even tho i dont use it
it keep being on ''device usage'' instead of being
on standby..
any thoughts ?

07 June 2010 - Solved by OTA update: Potential cause for excessive battery usage

I noticed that my new Desire had close to 100% awake time (Settings>About phone>Battery), which has historically been an issue for other HTC devices (Sprint Hero). So I checked the Battery info (punch in *#*#4636#*#* in the phone dialer), and under “Battery history” it shows “Running” as 100%, which indicates the same awake time. If I change the top pull-down to “Partial wake usage” it shows me that the calendar is running more or less constantly.
Could this be an underlying cause of poor battery life? (not that it’s that bad in my opinion – seem to get 15-20 hrs out of one charge – But my Hero could last 2 days or more)
Would someone please bother to retrace my steps on their devices to see if they get the same results?
UPDATE APRIL 21 2010: PARTIAL SOLUTION FOUND: The problem is the calendar app. It can be solved partially by force closing the calendar in “manage applications” and then starting it up again. After doing this, the phone sleeps correctly. So something in the calendar app is preventing the phone from going to sleep – And by restarting the app it works correctly again.
Unfortunately this is only a temporary fix, since it has to be done every time the phone is powered on (rebooted) and also every once in a while without rebooting, since the calendar app for some reason resumes it bad behaviour after a day or so.
So everyone with the problem should let HTC know about it - Assuming they listen..
UPDATE APRIL 24 2010: SCREENSHOTS ADDED: I added screenshots of the issue as well as how it's supposed to look on a handset without the issue.
UPDATE APRIL 28 2010: PERMANENT SOLUTION FOUND?: Remove Flickr Sync. Go to Settings>Accounts & Sync>Flickr. Then press remove account at the bottom of the screen and reboot the phone - Please report back in the thread if successful!
UPDATE JUNE 07 2010: The issue has been resolved by OTA update to 1.21.405.2.

This is not the case with my phone. Running is at 20%.

The above command does nothing for me.

I charged my battery while the phone was on yesterday and it said it'd been fully charged. I then switched my phone off and the yellow charge light was on, indicating the battery wasn't full. I waited for it to go green and got an extra hour or so charge time, hopefully the charge will last longer now. I think it's a firmware issue with reporting the battery is fully charged when it isn't.

Are you remembering to reverse the * & # at the end?
The full command is:

Was your awake time (partial wake) very high as well?

Partial Awake since last unplug for me just shows media at around 30-40% followed by Android at ~10% rest are all low <1%

I did a factory reset last night and it didn't change anything. I'm starting to think it's a hardware issue, since other users seem to have a normal ratio between awake time and up time (50% or less)

I also see that my calender is causing huge issues with my baterry life. i may try disabling calender from task killer

Think mine was a faulty battery, replaced it lastnight with a brand new one, turned phone off, charged till full and left phone on with wifi enabled. Battery was at 88% when i got up this morning.
Normally having wifi enabled over night would of used 30-40% of the battery.

Interesting find. I have the same results.
I use the calendar widget, I wonder if that's why it's so high? Do any of you use it?

Ive found on mine that turning off the live wallpaper gives me at least a day and a half of useage. FYI, since turning my phone on this morning @ 7am, ive now got 84% left and ive been on a few calls, txt's activesync for email etc and a bit of browsing over wifi etc. so not too bad as good as my HD2 ever was.
Bloke

I have found today that my awake time was the same as uptime , even though my phone was left alone for over an hour ... Something is keeping the phone from going into sleep mode ??? For a start I have removed all widgets from my home screens, and rebooted, to see what effect that has on the awake time.
EDIT: even after rebooting without widgets and leaving the phone alone for 15min, the awake time is exactly the same as uptime. using the *#*#4363#*#* menu, calendar is the first app in partial awake time and the blue bar is about 75% (dont understand completely what this means).
Anyone having more advice for me?

Re: Potential cause for excessive battery usage
Same here. Don't know what's causing it though.

It seems calander app is also keeping mine awake.
I've pulled the widget off my home screen and have stopped it syncing so I'll check again in a day and see how its going.
As for removing the live wallpaper....no way its too nice

My calender usage is really really low (around 5%), i only really use this big month view widget. strange

Thanks for replying!
Just a question: Is your 'Settings>About phone>Software version' similar to this?:
Firmware version:
2.1 –update1
Baseband version:
32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11
Kernel version:
2.6.29.97da29ed
[email protected] #1
Build number:
1.15.405.4 CL155070 release keys
Software number:
1.15.405.4
Browser version:
Webkit 3.1

my calendar has been syncing non stop all morning, can't work out whats the matter with it.
i was using the android widget and it would sync past 10.10 am just removed widget and it's now updated to 11.58
also i use call log which i tried uninstalling and deleting calendar as it had synced the same phone calls over and over again, not sure if that was a cause or a victim of the stalled calendar sync as that was all happening around 11.17 which was after the calendar sync had already stalled.

I sent this to HTC support - Let's see what they say:
I have a brand new HTC Desire that I’m very happy with and I only have one real issue so far: Battery life is only 10-12 hours on a full charge.
Going to “Settings>About Phone>Battery” it shows me that up time and awake time are the same, which seems to indicate that the phone doesn’t suspend correctly as it’s supposed to (and as other Desires do – as well as my old HTC Hero).
In the battery info console (pressing *#*#4636#*#* in dialer) it shows me that the calendar is active 80-90% of the time (by going into “battery history” and changing top dropdown to “partial wake”). To compare android system is only around 5% or less. Some Desire owners seem to have the same issue, but others also report calendar usage to be much lower and awake time much smaller than up time.
In “Settings>Applications>Running Services” it shows “ObexService” and “ConnectivityService” listed as running under Calendar.
I’ve done two factory resets of the phone to test if it had anything to do with my particular setup or apps (synchronising mail, contacts and calendar from Google as well as work e-mail and calendar through exchange). But the problem persists after the factory reset without installing anything or syncing with exchange.
Is this a firmware issue that will be updated? Or is it a particular issue with the hardware on my handset? Can I do anything to make it suspend correctly?
From “About phone”:
Firmware version: 2.1 –update1
Baseband version: 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11

I bought the phone from 3 in Denmark.

Desire Battery Life

I've heard some people say they get 3 days out of their desires and others saying they get just over a day.
This thread it would be great to collect a list of people with desires and their average battery life as well as a list of apps they have installed and widgets on display and maybe the rom they are using.
Just trying to work out
I'm going to collect data and put something up tomorrow - but I noticed last night that my battery went down really quickly when my Alarm went off (using Gentle Alarm) I also confirmed this using JuicePlotter which showed the battery sharply decrease just at the same time in which my alarm was set to go off.
I also noticed that having wifi turned on didnt seem to effect battery life that much...

Yeah my battery lasts really well leaving WI-FI on too. Not sure why others have an issue with it.
My battery will last a day tops turning on from 7.30 and off again around 12am ish
During day I will use Seemic (on manual update) and use FB on net every now and then.
May occasionally go to the Market for Updates.
I only use mobile Network when I need to so I turn off and on when required.
I will play Word Up and Solitaire for 30 -40 mins a day roughly.
Battery % will vary between 65 - 45 by 6.30 pm
Today it is down to 75% at 2.10pm - although I've not played any games today so far.

I bought an X10 and returned it because the battery wouldn't last even a day despite having all kinds of task-killing crap installed.
Then I bought a Desire and had the same problem - 6, maybe 7 hours of battery.
I found a post on some obscure blog that helped me track down the culprit: there are apps that don't let the device go to sleep completely. I had two of them. And Android (at least the HTCs) have a built-in function to see exactly what those processes are:
From the dialer: *#*#INFO#*#*, choose Battery History from the menu and then Partial Wake Usage. Nothing should have more than a tiny fraction of a bar. But on mine, Grooveshark was using 99%. I uninstalled it, tried again a few hours later and saw that Mikandi was using 99%. I uninstalled that, and now I'm getting more than 24 hours of heavy use.
Some apps just don't behave.

Why would Dialer App have such a high network usage?
It shows up as using a lot of network!

Wouldn't the dialer use the network to call people when you dial?
Thanks for the "cheat code" on the hidden menu. Very interesting.
I can sometimes squeeze 2 days out of my battery. I'll only get a day and a half on this charge though because of lots of txting and facebook use.
I found this menu option in Settings > "accounts & sync" > Background Data. I turned this off and seem to get a little more battery.
Changing the brightness down a bit helps, and i'll set the screen timeout to lower as its at 1 minute now. Plus If I use friend stream instead of the facebook widget then it updates when I want to and doesnt keep active.
Least amount of battery time i've had is a day. I never turn my phone off.

I never get a full day out of mine, maybe 8-10 hours max... I have no idea how some people claim 3 days, I'm not exactly a power user!
Stock ROM (not a provider one, just generic) on T-Mobile UK network
Wi-Fi and GPS off
Widgets: Standard Flip Clock, SMS, FriendStream, Stocks (2hr update), Agenda, News (2hr Update)
Market Programmes: K9 Mail (1Hr e-mail updating), ES File Explorer, Shazam, Voice Search, Pkt Ebay, Tricorder, UK TV Guide, GBCoid
In Standby (screen off), not using web, not calling, not texting, not using apps, I lose around 10% per hour, faster if anything at all is on.
Oddly, despite the very poor (for me anyway) standby life, in call life seems really good, I made a call last night for an hour, where phone was in the orange phase when I started and still hadn't gone red at the end...

I wanted to try turning background data off but sadly the market does not work when you have this turned off (a warning pops up when you try)

True re the dialer. Was thinking network as on net use.

anyone got background data or mobile data turned off?
if so whats your battery life like?
also anyone tried with 3G on and compared to GSM ONLY?

Well the only app that have a bigger bar is Android System... Is this normal?

Settings ; About phone ; Battery ; Battery use and it will tell you when it was last unplugged and what has been using it.
4h 27m
Cell standby - 45%
Phone idle - 45%
Wifi -7%
Android system - 5%
Display - 2%
Obviously you can see from that I've hardly used it. A few texts, checking email periodically. Display brightness is on full, weather update is set to manual. Only have a few apps installed. Main one being data counter widget.
2000kb wifi
780kb cell.
Oh, and SystemPanel, tells me I have 93%.

Switch off 3g when you don't need it,this can nearly double your standby/idle time ,use a 2g-3g toggle if its a pain.
Juice defender with its plotter can give you very useful info on when your phone is using its battery the most.
On idle with 2g 1% per hour is normal, with 3g 2-4 %.
As soon as that screen goes on start thinking 15-20% per hour!
Most smart phones are the same,my x1 ,touch pro all got caned when I first got them,but a bit of experience and a few tweaks later they were doing 3-4 days.
Also flatten it and fully charge it when switched off helps too.

My battery life is pitiful too, im a pretty light user now ive had time to play with the phone for a while but battery will always need to be put on charge by around 10pm when only unplugged around 7am the same day.
I bought up the partial wake usage list and UID followed by a number is using twice the power of Android System.
Does anyone know what the UID is?

My battery life was rubbish until i updated the radio version to 32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2. I am also using MCR3.1
Before my battery life would be fully discharged within 7 hours. Now i have 1day+ Not too sure as i now have a brodit car mount that charges my phone during my commute.

To update, do you need to root your device? I don't want to root mine, but I want to get the best battery life possible.

Stating the obvious, but if you don't use your phone, your battery will last a long time!
Personally I need to use my phone (otherwise why would I have bought it) so have push email running with full Exchange sync 8 till 8, FB & Twitter syncing once an hour, spend a couple of hours a day making calls, connect to WiFi using my iPass account whenever a hotspot is available and spend a lot of time dealing with emails etc.
I put my "less than a day" battery life down to the fact that my screen is on and doing stuff for much of that time.
Of course if I just leave the phone on the desk at the side of me and don't touch it all day, even with push mail and all that sync, if the screen is not turned on much, I get 2 days.
It's the screen that eats the battery. The more it is on, the shorter the time between charges.

Wow I don't understand how you people get such amazing battery life!
I am no noob anymore regarding Android and Smartphone's in general, so I understand most 'hints & tricks' in this thread. But simply for me this does not work.
Some important stuff:
- I ALWAYS have 2G on, never 3G.
- I use wifi at home and in most places I go
- I have almost everything set to 'manual' updating
Ok.
For example my last situation:
I unplugged it at 23.30 yesterday. I used it for a little bit, over wifi. Checking twitter, surfing the web, watching some video's in HTC Flash Player. I went to bed around 02.00, watched some Law & Order that's why it was so late. So before turning off the lights, I turned wifi off. The battery was around 80-85%, from what I remember.
I wake up at 12.00. The battery was still above 50%, that's for sure. I do some facebook, twitter, news, etc. All over wifi.
And now, just before 17.00, my battery was dead (while I almost typed this entire story on my Desire -.- I was pissed). So that means, about 17 hours? Which about 10 hours I slept and the phone was doing nothing, over 2G!
So yeah... and when I read all your story's about 2 days (48 hours) I am really like: WTF
Some more details:
-No live-wallpaper. Just the black 'carbon' one.
-I used to use LauncherPro beta, but battery life was just as bad. Now I am back on HTC Sense. I have some widgets, like the Calander widget, a small music widget, bookmarks widget, etc.
-I tried to find out what uses the most battery while sleeping with that code and it showed Android System. So nothing weird there.
-Again, everything set to MANUAL updating
-ONLY 2G.
-Brightness set to auto.
So really, I think it's my wifi that sucks the battery life out of my Desire. I remember when I went on a trip and was just 'listning' to music, my battery only dropped like 10 to 15% in 3 hours.
-----------
Btw, I remember that this 'some people have great battery life some people don't' story was the same with the HTC HD2. The only different thing there was that I was one of the people with the 'good' battery life. Now I am on the 'losers' team
Any help would be great!

[Q] Battery usage

I just got a new desire after my previous one got stolen.
I found out the battery of my new handset last dramatically less than the previous one...it doesn't even last one day!
I reduced the screen brightness to 20% and deactivated the 3g mobile data but on the battery screen usage it says as follows:
cell standby 31%
phone idle 30%
android system 23%
display 7%
voice calls 5%
internet 2%
dialer 2%
why would the usage be so high when the phone is in standby? why would it be so high for the phone idle?
I also found out it takes ages to shut down completely...is there anything running underneath that I can stop?
please advice the optimization setting to try to improve battery life please
thanks in advance

The percentages just express which parts of the battery drain (lets say you are on 68% --> 32% drained) have been used by which activity of the phone (so they are not absolute but relativ values).
In a combination of your and my example this would mean.
30% cell standby --> 30% of 32% is at least only 1/9th of the whole battery.
Hope you get what i am trying to explain

I see where you come from but I don't think this can explain why I need to charge it every 5 hours.

Have you calibrated it,?? Search battery calibration, and try that.

Is your phone rooted michaelss16???

no my phone is not rooted but I think I managed to sort it out!
set it up as follows:
MENU> settings>wireless and network>wi-fi seettings>menu>advanced> wi-fi sleep policy> after 15 minutes
MENU> settings> sound and display>brightness> uncheck automatic brightness> reduce brightness manually by sliding it down to no more than 30%
MENU> settings> sound and display>screen timeout> set it no more than 1 minute
MENU>settings>account and sync>uncheck background data (it is possible to check it manually by refreshing it everytime is needed)
MENU>settings> Location> uncheck both "use wireless networks" and " use GPS satellites"
MENU> friendstream>menu>settings>Accounts and sync>for any of your active accounts(facebook, flickr, twitter) go to account settings>update schedule>set it up not more often than every 4 hours. (you can update it manually anytime you want)
MENU>Latitude>menu>privacy>turn off latitude. (it is possible to turn it on when maps app is needed...don't need it on all the time)
MENU>Stocks>menu>advanced>uncheck auto-sync data (you can refresh as needed)
MENU>weather>menu>settings>uncheck update automatically (agai nit is possible to update it manually by hitting refresh button)
In addition when in charge at night I shut mobile network off (I don't check updates-mail or post if I sleep)
Since I don't expect any phone call at night I turned the radio off by dialing *#*#4636#*#* >phone information>turn off radio (don't do it if a phone call is expected).
it is also possible to access battery history to check through all the processes running on the background and using power,CPU memory and bandwidth. ( the menu settings battery information refer only to the TIME of each process draining the battery and not the amount of battery drained by each process).
Now I understand why phone idle and standby was so high when checked in the morning..they are the only processes running at night when the phone is in charge if it is on).
Hope it can be usefull ....now it says 14h 52m and 13s since unplugged and battery level is still 54!

Basically you just did what I always recommended you, update manually all the applications, except for the radio, I just turn off the mobile data so I can still receive calls...

Battery drain and overclocking
I rooted my phone and installed Runnymede AIO v6.0.4.1. After installing i guess a default value has been set for the OCD as around 996000. I later changed it to the highest value and played a game. with in minutes my battery drained to 30% from 70%.
I mainly rooted my phone so that the memory constraint in HTC Desire can be done with so that i could install more and more apps and games.
I NEED TO PLAY GAMES and WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST VALUE to keep FOR OCD, so that my phone is fast and i could play games without even a minor lag.
And i also have another problem, in call history i dont see names against the calls made. However i can see those people in my contact list with names and numbers, but in call history i see only numbers and a + sign asking me to save to contacts.........
Can anyone help??

For long time I was using Starburst ROM (stock + D2SD on SNQ kernel). It was really good in performance and battery saving due to basic Sense 2.2. I could play AngryBirds couple hours long. The major factor was screen brightness to be dimmed a bit. Since I dropped gaming behavior I had no experience with other ROMs/kernels I was trying.

[Q] Phone suddenly stops sleeping (exactly at midnight!) ?!

Hi,
posted this over at the Cyanogenmod forum already, but xda-audience is probably bigger making it more likely to find help ;-)

I am new to CM (came from Modaco ;-) and i would be extremly happy with CM 6.1 if i would not have one very stange issue:
My Phone suddenly stops sleeping exactly at midnight.
It all started when i found that it looses a huge amount of battery over night - it was one of the first days i used CM when i noticed this. As i am experienced with android i immediately checked my up/awake stats and found it was not sleeping properly. As the basic advice for this is always to find the "bad" app that is preventing sleep i treid something and finally thought the issue was gone. The phone was behaving properly the whole day.
Then i got the same issue the next night again !?
To finally sort this is ou, i installed juiceplotter and saw that ...
...the phone behaves fine until midnight - then it stops sleeping and drains huge amount of battery !!
When i start using the phone in the morning again - it seems to behave ok again (sometimes i rebooted - but i think just starting to use the screen again helps as well - not finally sure about this)
So the usual steps to check every single app via uninstalling (which i have all used with MCR-Rom without any problems) would take a while with my 70+ apps as i would always have to wait until midnight passes to see if i found the right one.
Any idea how to find the reason (app) that stops my phone from sleeping after midnight ? Mist be some app that also triggers something at midnight ?
Or any other idea what this could be ? (if not a 3´rd party app)
I checked logcat but could not find anything abvious.
Would really keep staying with CM and not nandroid back to MCR.
Thx
Marcus

It could be an app that is trying to sync at the start of the new day, thus starting exactly at midnight.
In the *#*#4636#*#* menu in battery history select the first drop down menu to "partial wake usage" and see if you can find which process is consuming the most resources in sleep mode.
It is likely that it's a third party app, but you can check that by booting in safe mode and leaving the phone over night to see if it happens again.
If as you say just by starting to use the phone the slowness disappers, it may be an app that is only working when the phone is idle (e.g. some maintenance app, antivirus, etc.).

Thx for the tips.
I checked most of them already ;-)
I found that "E-Mail" was 2nd in the "partial wake" list.
I configured an exchange-account there but set the sync interval to "never".
Nevertheless it is shown (only) with some 20 mins. (for ~6 hours standby) in the partial-wake-list - I found that suspicious.
After some googling today i found this:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9307
(this thread says that there is a bug (confirmed by google) that can prevent sleep with exchange-account set to sync never)
I tried to experiment today a little bit (also with setting the clock to 23:55 and wait a while for "midnight" to pass ;-) with different settings and found that "push"-setting shows better results (hard to tell with only ~30 mins. of stats each time). And now i tried with manual sync set to 1 hour (max) and see if that makes any difference.
I´ll dig a little deeper and post results.
In the meantime any tips or comments are warmly welcome. ;-)

EDIT: If that "Exchange-bug" should be the reason - i just wonder why midnight seems to be a trigger - but who knows what went wrong deep in the code ;-)

confirmed:
It really WAS the Email-Client configured for Exchange.
No with setting it to "Push" everything is working fine .. when setting the sync to "never" Email start to keep wake-locks !
So everybody with a poor batt-performance should probably check this (if using Exchange) and use "push" until Google has fixed this bug (see above).
