The TP2 has been out long enough that I think we can get a pretty good idea of it's video, graphical, and system performance. For those who have had one, what are your thoughts?
-Video
-3D/Graphics
-System
The battery life is terrible even with everything running at a minimal so hopefully hard spl and a new rom will sort it out.
Mine wont last more than 8 hour with data connection and push mail
can anyone say what the 3.2 mp camera's picture quality is like? any sample shots?

Wow, you sure you don't have a faulty device or battery? Or perhaps it's something you installed? 8 hrs is not normal.
I have push mail on during the day, push internet checking every 3 hrs, and I use the web browser quite heavily and I always end up with about 30-40% charge at the end of the day.

Not very good, but certainly not bad. There are sample shots in many reviews of the device. Just check those out.
The overall concensus appears to be that it'll not replace your digital camera. Use it for casual shots and for using World Card Mobile. If you're expecting more, than you will be dissapointed.

8 hours is normal for most of my WM devices, TP2 actually give me an hour more (9 hours) if you need more juice, consider an extended batttery like i do, it last me for more than 15 hours.

I really can't understand what you are doing with your phones.
I charged the phone over night and connected it to WiFi and am playing MP3 music since 6:00 in the morning with the display on. Every 30minutes my 3 EMail accounts are being checked. Additionally, I have written and received about 40 SMS today and made 3 phone calls.
Now it's 13:30, so it's running for 7,5hours under this conditions yet, and the battery is at 57%.
I can't imagine a way to drain the battery even faster, except GPS. No matter what I am doing, the battery at least lasts for a day.
Considering the fact that I am not playing MP3 the whole day normally, I get 3 days out of my battery in general -the same as with the SonyEricsson Xperia I had before.

I second that. I have regular mail checks, browser use and calls on my phone and i see 3 days of battery life all the time with some exceptions in one or the other direction. The only thing which wastes battery like hell is tethering which will drain a charge in about 6 to 8 hours depending on the traffic.
My TP2 can last 1,5 to 2 days with average use... but only with Edge, because as soon as I activate 3g it berely last 6 to 8 hours... 3g and GPS are the two things that drains the battery faster. That is my experience...

I currently have the Universal. It seems that the TP2 is slower. Particularly with video. I watch videos while flying. Am I going to be disappointed with this phone compared to my universal?

Well, I'm connected 24/7 via gprs ad push mail on (exchange, with "as items arrive" setting), 2 other yahoo accounts with SEVEN, palringo.
100+ mails a day
40-60 messages
and bad gprs connection
and most of the time I feel the phone warm even in standby mode
I don't think this is a defect. since my tytn II wont last for more than 8 hours too. but when i gave it to my wife, the battery last for 2 DAYS!!!.. (she doesn't use push email or palringo, just facebook sometimes).
maybe I should turn the data off for 1 or 2 days someday and observe the battery usage..

Battery life is excellent for me. I have activated "energy saving" from "diamond Tweak software).
Even GPS with voice (GARMIN XT), it lasts 3 hours on battery.

Hi,
How can you activate edge only?
Thanks for all the input guys. However, the original purpose of this thread was more for how responsive (sluggish) the phone was. Is menu transition and program start up snappy? Are there any delays throughout the phone or has that been ironed out? I've got a mogul and even with custom roms from XDA it's still very sluggish. Always has been.
It is HTC's graphical drivers. There are a few XDA born ones which help but they are no substitute for a proper HTC issued one.

I guess you aren't a heavy user. Me and one of my collegues can empty the battery in about 5hrs...
That's with bluetooth on, HSDAP connection, 10min checkup on exchange server (with about 20-30emails and calendar changes in those 5 hrs) and about 1-2 hrs calling.
The phone gets a bit warm, but that would be understandable I guess...
My experience with the battery life is that it's pretty good. Better then with my old HTC Vox.
It checks my gmail and hotmail every 15min. When at work i don't really use my phone. With some spare time it gets to the end of the day easily with some music playing in the morning (when going to work) and some in the evening (when going home). And allot of browsing in between.
Overall, for the performance and big screen you get. The battery life seems really good to me. When i got my phone i discharged it to ~10% and then let it charge 24 hours. After that i started using my phone till ~10% battery charge again and charged it till it was full.
Maybe this method helped a bit in the battery life? I currently have my TP2 for 5 days, so i'm still playing aroudn with it allot. But with normal use i could get 2 days easily with my usage.
Grtz,

So how does this perform with Diamond Hologram, how many FPS?
I'm assuming that, this device like all other HTC's with the 7201a processor, suffer from bad performance.
I have mine ordered, but I'm not expecting it to be any faster then my touch PRO, if anything slower, since there are no custom roms as of yet
Hey guys
I wanted to ask how much battery life u get on stock rom and without rooting??
There is no objective answer to this for two reasons:
1. Everyone's usage habits are different.
2. Everyone is comparing their One V to their previous device. Compared to my last device (Wildfire S) it's about the same if not a little better. A former Motorola Droid X user with probable say much better.
Imo, the best thing you can do is read the One V review at gsmarena.com and see how it compares in their battery test which includes comparison with other devices under varied circumstances.
Ive been using it for like 3 days. 5-6 Hrs of internet a day. Running fine for 1+ days for me!
just wanna give you an idea.
I plugged out my phone at 6am. listening to music untill 7am (during my way to my work). then I turn the wifi on and mobile data off. I let my phone syncs my twitter, emails and other accounts. on 12pm, during my lunch time, I listen to internet radio for about half an hour then continue to listen to music up to 1pm. lil bit of games for about 30 minutes.. 5pm I go home, turn off the wifi and turn on mobile data again. I usualy listen to the local radio this time, not streaming one for about 1,5 hour. on 11pm my phone still got 25% of battery left. the result may vary, though.
Hi folks, i am considering buying this device and looked the whole forum but did not find any info about the battery life ? How long does your 10.1 last with different activities (Browsing, gaming, video and etc.) ?
I had a small 8'' tablet which lasted about 1.5 hours and really hate it. That's why i want to know what i can expect from this device.
Thank you in advance.
Why not change the battery with a more powerful one? Today's battery is so cheap.
The Note doesn't have a user changeable battery... Most tablets don't....
To answer your question, a lot of reviews indicate an average battery time of about 7-12 hours of medium to heavy use. I think I saw somewhere that a video loop test managed around 9-10 hours. 720 p mp4 movie
Check the reviews at
endgadget.com and androidpolice.com
I posted this in another thread asking about battery life:
I was just in an 8-hour class where I used S-Note extensively. (From 8:30a to 4:30p.) I took around 20 pages of notes. When I wasn't actively taking notes, I was experimenting with the features of S-Note and the tablet in general since it's pretty new to me, as well as browsing the web, Facebook, etc. When the class started my battery was at 83% (I didn't plug it in until very late last night and didn't turn it off while it charged, so it wasn't fully charged when I left home this morning). As of now, over 45 minutes after the class, my battery is at 53%. My screen brightness has been around 25% all day which was plenty bright in a brightly lit room.
We did have a half-hour lunch, and a couple breaks during which the screen was off. But, not too shabby, if you ask me.
I'm finding my battery life to be pretty fantastic.
Depends on what you do with the tablet, if you play games, or use a lot of data, it can drain pretty quickly about 5-6 hours, if you do light stuff like watch videos/take notes/read, it'll probably last 10 hours
SO I have had the SW3 for about 4 days now and the battery life is excellent! Here are my results so far
- Day 2- Took off charger at 7 am, some e-mails, texts, 4 mile (35 minute) run with GPS and Bluetooth on watch, by 9 pm, I had around 45% left
- Day 3 - Off charger at 7 am, some emails, texts, no workout, by 9pm had around 65%
- Day 4 - 7 am off charger, lots of voice interactions, music for 1 hour, 9pm at 59%
Update
- Day 5 Morning: 7 am off charger, noon, with 3 emails, 1 call, 5 texts checked, battery at 86%
- Day 5 Full Day: 7 am off charger, 10pm, 25 emails, 10 texts, 3 calls, battery at 57%
I am sure if you just use it for normal emails, basic usage and not the GPS/Bluetooth music, this will easily go 1.75-2 days. Plus with more tweaks from google, I expect this only to get better
Thanks for your interesting remarks, I'm receiving mine tomorrow
What do you think about the accuracy of the SW3 GPS compared the GPS in your phone?. My Nexus 5 is accurate enough but only when I hold it in my hand... Once I put it in a pocket I get at least 10% more distance in Endomondo due to all the zigzagging.

I just checked my tracks and I have 4 saved runs (3-5miles each). They are pretty spot on GPS wise and as good as my garmin FR620 running watch. The Garmin locks to the sattelites much faster (10-15 seconds), while the sony takes 20-30 seconds. The biggest thing at the moment is the lack of app support...I need something with speed and laps...tracks only has time and distance.
Off at 8am, at 3pm is 86% with regular use. Going to try it overnight and see how long I really can get
It is better than my moto x, so the driving force will be my phone that needs a charge first.
So how did you fare? Or is it still going? I'm interested as I'm on the fence for this watch as well...
24 hour report....
Off charger at 8am, normal usage, (calls, texts, voice), at 24 hour mark it was at 50%. . I did put it on night stand at night (off wrist) , but pretty good to me. I imagine you could easily get 36-40 hours on this until you charge it on the second night after work .
On another test, it seems music drains the battery at around 10% an hour if Bluetooth streaming.
I sleep with the watch and charge it at the same time every day for about 20mins and it's at 50% in average - So seems reasonable to expect 48h of battery.
I sleep and run with it and only throw on charger when in shower and never have had it go below 30% yet. GPS will bring down much faster but quickly charges back up
After a day of heavy usage, showing it off, playing with it, using voice commands and a bit of navigation I had 48% battery after 08:00 to 22:40.
Mine can only last about 14 hours....
Noticed that since a couple of days the battery use increased drastically (wouldn't last 24h now). I just upgraded my Phone firmware - not sure if it's related.
Be carefull if you use watchface like F03 from Smartwatch Bureaux, some have severe bug and drain 10% bat by hour even if you do not use it on watchface on screen but it is installed on your watch.
My watch lost 20%+ over night (7hrs approx) in airplane mode. Anyone else monitored airplane mode loss?
The battery used to last about 2 days, but has recently dropped to less than one day.
what do you mean with "it last 2 days" ? Because at least this watch can last 36-38 hours. If you use it for 12 hour per day,ok, it last "2 days"; but if you are telling me that your sw3 live for 48 hour in a row :silly::silly::silly::silly: i cannot believe it x)
I got 36-44 in a row with normal use

You can see my posts on this thread about this. I have easily had 34+ hours on a charge without issue. I dont use facer and use itellicom watch faces, which do not eat up much battery. It is on always on mode (with ambient). I dont check my watch for the time that much and only for notifications.
I have these items installed
- Keep
- Calculator
- Runkeeper
- Mini maps
- Wear launcher
- Fit
- Audio recording
- Flashlight
- Play Music
I get maybe 10-20 emails a day on the watch, like 5-10 text messages and use it for running with runkeeper and playing music.

Hello!
So I got the Note 10.1 but I am not sure if my battery life is good or if it needs to be replaced.
For example first time I tried it it seemed to go from like 50 to warning levels all of the sudden. I know the guy was not using it for a while so I am not sure if it needs a few full charge discharge cycles.
I did a couple and tried playing a bit of Riptide then one movie and a half on youtube and overall made it around 4 hours of usage like that.
I was wondering if you guys have any test or maybe some steps I can recreate to compare my battery life results to yours.
Thanks!
I have up to ten hours surfing the net via wifi, Email, Tapatalk, news apps and only occasional video clips. Lasts even longer when just reading locally stored docs or watching photos. Gaming is of course the worst condition.
Check for some old reviews. Easiest to reproduce would be a gaming session, with a game similarly to that used in some review. Then the battery will probably last 2-4h, if it's still okay.
