[Q] Battery life of wildfire s

Hey i am planing to buy wildfire s please provide me some cons and battery statistics .
how is the battery life ?
Does it last for 2 days with moderate calls ,music and sms
How is the music quality and loudness.
Please reply ASAP
Thanks in advance.I appreciate every reply

I have just got a new Wildfire S and on its first charge I have so far got 4 days 8 hours. The battery meter is now on 2 bars.
However, to test maximum battery life I have turned of internet services so I just running the Widlfire as a phone (believe it or not). I have only made a couple of calls and used sms a few times.
I haven't listened to music but I'm guessing this would seriously eat in to the 4 days I've achieved so far.
For £200 the phone is great, for me it's an ideal size and has the latest Android. I imagine it will do most things the larger phones (HTC Desire) will do just a little slower.

Battery life.
The battery life for mine seams to be around 1- 1.5 Days. However, it was used before I received it, so the battery may be degraded.
Also, I am constantly connected to wifi and using it for facebook and emails etc, and occasionally Music and games.
I use a auto brightness instead of lower brightness settings and I use a live wallpaper and no battery juice saving apps.
I also use Link2SD and have about 45 apps installed whereas less than half eat up juice by monitoring bandwidth usage etc.
This is with the stock ROM Ginger Bread 2.3.3 that came with my HTC wildfire S. It is rooted via CWM.
I purchased a new battery which is taking forever to arrive.
I will test out this new battery with the same setup as shown above and with a power saving setup and will post my results here.
I will also test out other roms, that way You will have a general idea of the battery life.
There are many techniques to save your battery from degrading overtime and it is worth looking into.
For those battery freaks out there, you may be interested in knowing that there is a larger battery that is compatible with this phone which comes with a bigger back plate. (suppose to last up to 3x longer).
As for speaker quality, I have had no problems at all listening in a variety of places. Works best laying flat on a flat surface. curvature of phone and camera lens allows the speaker hole to not be covered and lets out sound at an acceptable loudness.
Note: if you cover the speaker hole completely, (with your finger for example) the loudness is greatly reduced and sounds muffled.

its an alright phone. when I first bought it I turned everything off and used it as a watch pretty much for work, it would last the whole shift with very minimum drain, however when I use it heavily...it would last about an hour. maybe a little more. the main con for me for this phone now is the armv6 processor which for most people probably isn't a big deal. they were discontinued with my carrier here in america but at the end of their lifespan they were about $50 I don't know the conversion really. its a good phone I had it for a year, just I needed something a little stronger, as I am a very heavy user.
edit: I never used any power saver apps or anything like that either. if that helps at all.

I do not understand the reasoning behind your statement. Rooting your phone does NOT have any affect on battery life.

Like they all say "IT DEPENDS ON YOUR USAGE". If you have activated 3G services and most of the time you are traveling , then of course the battery hardly last a day. For me, it used to last a day under 'above moderate usage' . I will be mostly online either by data connection or Wi-Fi (Online doesn't mean that am always surfing and stuff. The phone will check in to some apps in a fixed interval . eg : facebook, gmail and stuff like that) .
You have asked about music quality, its pretty good for this price. I mean, you don't expect BEATS BOMB BASS and all in this , do you? I like the headphones that they have provided. it doesn't have a rubber flap on it which makes it very convenient to listen to music for hours (without causing headache )
If with moderate calls, msgs and music the battery could last around one and a half days. Just make sure to keep the brightness low since display is the main villain that drains the battery. Also, keep the Sync OFF unless you want to to be ON. Overall, i think it meets the expectation with this tiny 1250MaH battery.
EDIT :: Some say that this gives u an extra boost

My friend , i disagree. I have used some ROMs that has given better battery life than the Stock ROM especially those with that tweaks in the build.prop.

Well said. And simply rooting the phone, and doing nothing will not effect battery life. However its what u do once ur rooted that does. Depending on what roms, apps and config u set up, u can lose or gain battery life. Kinda obvious, but just wanted to be clear for all the noobies.

Xperia Ion is great, but I will be returning it today.

I wasn't following the Xperia Ion and it was a surprise to me when I read on Engadget that it was being released this past Sunday. I saw the specs and price and thought it was a great deal, so I went to the Sony store and bought the phone. I love the speed of the phone, the screen, the music player/audio options, the camera, and the minimal skinning from Sony, but after using it for 2 days, I really can't see myself keeping it because of the following issues.
***One more thing, I noticed people and reviewers mentioning the speaker not being loud enough. There is a setting that will boost the sound (xLoud) of the speaker and it sounds great. (shows how thorough reviewers actually are, out of the numerous reviews I read no one mentioned this)***
1. The battery life is horrendous, I thought a 1900mah battery would give this phone a lot of time on one charge, but I was wrong. Today I took my phone off the charger at 100%, I listened to two songs on Pandora (shut it down afterwards) and browsed the internet for 30 minutes and it was down to 70%. This is with GPS off, Bluetooth off and brightness at 30%. I've tried different battery management programs, but they don't really do anything to help. It's a shame, maybe ICS would fix this problem, but I don't want to risk losing my upgrade on a phone with a ****ty battery life and enclosed battery.
2. Auto-Brightness weirdness/flickering. I noticed this phone doesn't have the Auto-Brightness option in settings but it seems to have a sensor up front. So on occasion usually when I'm outside in the shade the screen starts rapidly changing brightness settings just like the Xperia Play used to. If I cover up the sensor with my finger it turns dark, so it does have some sort of Auto-Brightness feature, but no way of turning it off and it's not very good, it needs to just pick a brightness setting and stay there instead of constantly jumping around and flickering, very annoying.
3. Connection issues with 3G/4G/LTE and WiFi. Maybe it's the metal back on this phone who knows, but the connection is really bad sometimes, for instance today I was sitting in my car outside, I had the 4G signal with 4 bars and internet was running super slow. So I did a speedtest and my download speed was 129kbs????? (EDGE speeds on 4G). Also last night while on WiFi at home Youtube videos were taking a longtime to load, so I did a speedtest and I was at less than half the speed I had on my computer (also on WiFi).
4. Capacitive buttons are very small and you have to be precise to use them. This isn't too big an issue and you get used to it eventually, but it can get annoying sometimes.
So, the phone is great, but these issues are keeping it from being amazing, I don't want to get an HTC One X or Galaxy S3 because I don't feel like paying 260 (with taxes in California) for a phone, Windows Phone 7 is dead due to the recent announcements from Microsoft and iPhone screens are too small for me. My only option now is to just wait for the next batch of phones, I really wanted the Ion to be amazing, but I can't keep it, it's unfortunate. (First World Problems)

yeh battery life for me isn't looking to good either. I am comparing it to my Xperia S which seemed to run much longer. I took my phone off charge as well at 100% and have about 45 minutes of phone calls, numerous texts, emails, bluetooth, GPS and wifi on Bluetooth connected to Sony Smartwatch) and screen brightness turned down to about 25% and so far I am sitting at 23% with 8 hours on battery. Normally with about the same usage on my Xperia S I would still have upwards of 50% left.
I'm gonna get it go all the way down till it shuts off then charge it back up and see if that helps any.
People need to enable xLoud before they say anything about the speaker volume. not sure why it isn't enabled by default. I have no issues with the volume.
I don't have any issues hitting the capacitive buttons but wished the logo for each button was backlit instead of just the line below them.
I haven't tested wifi signal strength at home yet, will have to give that a whirl later tonight.
I have seen the auto brightness do that on my Xperia S as well but doesn't flicker all that often like you were describing.

I agree battery is sucking. I'm hoping will get better. Would probably be great without this att crap. I have been using 100% screen brightness since they don't have auto and I hate taking time switch it constantly.
I haven't had any signal issues. I'm usually on LTE or just HSPA in Baton Rouge.

The only LTE phone that will get you good battery life is Razr MAXX, that's a little issue with LTE phone at the moment.

I have gotten the ion's battery all the way down to 0 just last night(had 15% before I went to sleep, woke up with it dead). It took about 2-3 hours to be fully charged(maybe because I'm charging from a computer) and since the full charge it does seem like the battery is doing better. Had some texting going on here and there, then plugged in the hdmi cable to my tv, and played games along with watching a bit of netflix with the bravia engine on for about 30-45 minutes on the tv(note it's still on hdmi, both tv and ion's screen still active). After all those it's at 90% right now. It was fully charged about 6-7 hours ago. Total time of usage was around 1 1/2 hours.
In my opinion, the recharging the battery from 0-100 seemed to give it a better life compared to the other few days I've been using it. When I got it, the battery life went down from about 30% to about 10% in about an hour. On Monday, it was charged to 100%(without having the battery drained yet) and it seemed to die pretty quick just from texting alone and also being on wifi. I haven't changed the screen settings besides having bravia engine on and off.

I have Xperia S and it also had issues with the battery life just when I got it. It was draining too fast and many owners just like me got really disappointed. But several circles of 0-100% charges have changed the situation. I guess these batteries need a week or too to gain maximum capacity.

I did that on the first night, I killed the battery to 0% and charged to 100%, I did a factory reset today and didn't install any of those task managing, power saving, battery widget apps, hopefully it'll last longer.
I decided not to return it yet because I love the phone, I still have 11 days to decide. I'm going to be stopping by the Sony Store to see if I have a defective phone due to the Auto-Brightness screen flickering tomorrow.

Well you should get the auto-brightness flickering checked out. I haven't notice any weird flicking or anything wrong with the phone. Maybe a few more 100% charges will help make it last longer. Also go to settings, applications, manage applications, select the all tab, and uninstall any of AT&T apps that can be uninstalled as well as those that you think aren't "stock" android/sony apps. Maybe that will increase your battery if there isn't any background applications running that don't show up on task manager. Also turn off location services if you are not using it. I have noticed that location service takes up a lot of battery for some reason.

Hey Guys, I just wana make a brief comment on these issues.
Im sure these things will very soon be resolved w sony updates but rest assure soon as a root system is achieved the power to change them will be in the hands of the user. I've been developing on the X10 ever since its release and have watched it become one of the coolest development devices available half of which before Sony was really on-board w independent development.
Most of these things (except for the speaker issues, which just come w the "thin phone" territory I'm afraid) can be related most likely to excessive syncing, etc from att/sony bloat. There are some things that may be able to be done now to help but prob we'll have to wait for root to see any major improvement.
As far as the device goes, if u can deal w the speaker it will most certainly be a hellova phone in the very near future. I just ordered one and will provide a complete review as well as any tips or suggestions I might have just as soon as I can get my hands on it. Prob first of next week sometime is w I expect the shipment.
In the interim Id b happy to help assist anyone w any possible solutions I can provide. earbrain

I honestly think the speaker is actually pretty decent

Yeah, I've been dealing w the x10 since it came out and its not really as bad as made out to be. I mean what do u expect? U want hifi or even stereo for that matter then plug the damn thing in. A little dsp and it suits me just fine far as the ring/notify/speaker phone go. Xloud works pretty good for that I might add.
I'm an audio guy and its just basic physics that to reproduce sound mass = loud/bass. Sony could easily make a rockin ass phone but u w prob have to carry it over ur shoulder, not ur pocket.lOl

The first couple days I had the phone I noticed the screen flicker from time to time. It seems to have righted itself now, and the issue hasn't shown up again.

After using it all weekend Im good fellas, being the xperia/android freak I am I consider it another fine device from Sony...kudos. eb

Got to agree... I heard somethings about the battery life and was a little discouraged. My friend and I have been awaiting the IONs release for several months. He's the one who told me about the battery life, so I told him about battery cycling, thanks XDA members & developers.
Had mine for 2 weeks now and I can definitely see an improvement in the length of the battery life - still not X10 status, but at least all day. Also previously pointed out, I noticed that several of my installed apps are always running in the background and even after a restart are set to automatically restart. There are a few apps that will take care of this, so it's just something else to watch out for.
4G LTE signal is also a big drainer, but I love the surfing speeds, especially since there aren't that many phone using this band yet!!!
I turned off the Bravia engine and the background lite. The screen is bright enough, even when I'm by the pool reading a PDF in the sun. You can still see it very well. - Hope this helps -

Still diggn it, can't wait to get into sum customizn. eb

The trick with the capacitive buttons is to give them a real firm press, not so much accuracy. They are less sensitive which avoids the issue of false presses that a lot of the Samsung phones have (sometimes you can trigger those buttons without even really contacting the button at all).

Yeah, Im better w the buttons now. Seems to be sometimes a need to wait for focus. I guess the "focus" is kinda there for devices w trackballs or mouse but a bit superfluous on devices without. eb

As mention before, wifi suck - I sat about 10ft away from the access point still not getting a full bar ??? and signal receiving isn't great either. Compare to my HTC Vivid, I always get a bar lower on any signal (wifi or mobile). Although still liking the phone die hard ericsson fan, the picture quality is so nice - Sound is better compare to all the phone I had (Inspire, Vivid, S2).
I'm sure once get the bootloader unlock - battery and performance will be alot better !! patiently awaiting

Opinions about 2.0.1i vs. 123?

I been using this rom (2.0.1.i) a few days until now, with the last update XXX_140709.
Is anyone using this rom?
What`s your opinion about is use vs 123?
I sincerely don`t seem any improvement so far...and i see a massive amount of the lost of battery...
Last night i sleep with 74%, and when i wakeup, i did see 68%....even much worse than Colour 123i
Can`t say about telephone low level on calls because i haven`t receive nine until now.
Yours feedback?

my girlfriend hasnt said anything, I flashed radio ( i run cm) and I have noticed that cell standby is second most thing consumed by battery ( @ 20% after a work day)
That might be your new battery drain

yesterday I upgraded from unrooted stable 1.2.3.i to COS 2.0.1.i BETA
my impressions so far are very positive
I had 5 calls today and there is no low in-call volume bug, sound is loud and clear as it was before 1.2.3.i update which brought this bug
battery consumption seems to be more or less the same as on 1.2.3.i (which is good), but still too early to confirm that. Lost 2% overnight.. Interesting though that currently battery manager is showing Android system used 41% of my battery and the screen 31% only (on 1.2.3.i screen was always between 75% and 80%). Right now am with 75% battery left with 1 hour SOT. Mostly gmail-ing on data connection. So, I should easily reach 4 hours SOT before battery is empty (I use wifi connection at home and it uses much less battery than data...) and this is comparable with average 4.5 hrs SOT which I had on 1.2.3.i.
I like new animations and overall more polished look of GUI
music player finally displays proper details and album art of my mp3 songs
..and another thing which is very important to me since my find 7a has a yellow tint issue: apparently oppo changed colour temperature and the yellow tint is now much less noticeable. Pls oppo keep this colour settings also in the future updates
have not encountered any major bugs till now, but again, am on COS 2.0.1.i BETA since y'day only
for now I would say good work oppo!

I have been using this device for almost more than a month now, and I am very much satisfied.
The phone performs smooth, with almost no lag at all. Runs on completely stock android and will get guaranteed updates from Google for 2 years. Like we are supposed to get the Lollipop starting by mid-December. But yes, Google is not so energetic with Android One, so don't expect the device to be all sparkling at the top of the devices charts with other nexus and flagships in any news. We had to wait for a lot of time just to get a news of Lollipop for our device. But nevertheless we will get it for sure so no worry there.
Sound quality on loudspeakers is just fine, not great but still satisfactory, on the other hand, sound quality in headphones is pretty good. In-call volume and clarity could have been better, it's a tad bit on the lower side, however, it doesn't bother much.
Camera is strictly "Satisfactory". You can click decent pictures with the rear camera during daytime, however, during night just don't depend on it for any important events. Front camera is okayish too. Does the work, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Battery is a mixed bag. For me it's perfectly fine. I use my device in 2 ways, when I am out (completely on 2G/3G the whole day) and when I am at home (completely on WiFi).
I get an average of 18 hours or so in the first case, with mild-medium usage, i.e continuous shuffling between 2G/3G, 10-15 mins of browsing, half n hour of songs, half n hour of calls, about an hour of whatsapp, 10-15 mins of gaming. Definitely lasts me from morning to evening till I get home.
In the second case, I easily get over a day of battery life (and yes, by day I mean 24 hours) with almost the same usage (perhaps a bit more that the former, with more chatting on whatsapp) as above except for that its connected to WiFi all the time. The longest I was able to run it till date was about for 51 hours I guess on WiFi with minimal use.
Ultimately it all depends on user to user for battery life, some people find it too less, some find it just sufficient, I personally fall somewhere in between those 2 categories. Battery capacity should have been a bit more, I would have used a few extra mins in gaming.
So to get it straight, if you are going to using it for heavy use, like gaming and continuous 3G then you are going to be terribly disappointed with the battery life.
Another thing is that please remember that price point at which we are viewing this, at this price point you can't really complain.

Problems with Lollipop 5.0.1 & Sense 6 on Indian One (M8)

I recently updated to software version 4.18.720.8.
At first everything seemed good, fast and fluid. But I am facing battery issues now.
I charge my phone at night and it comes down to about 98% before I sleep, but in the morning i find it to be around 88%, almost 10% reduction without me even touching it.
Till 4 in the evening I'm in college, don't use it much but when I reach home at 5 it gets down to 50%, while I hardly use it for 15 mins in between.
Normal usage doesn't seem to be affected, but standby times have vastly reduced since 4.4.4
Screenshots attached below
Another issue that I'm facing is that the bass is weaker than before from the BoomSound speakers in every song that I play.
The effect is very clear to me, and I hate listening to 'ordinary' sounding speakers now :crying: :crying:
