Hey all,
I am a new owner of a HTC Desire, have used this amazing device for about 2 weeks now. All is well, except for.... the battery life.
Here is my scenario, tell me if this is the "norm":
Unplugged from wall charger at 8:30am, by 9:16am (total unplugged time of 46mins), I had used 18% of the battery.
I had a 7min voice call, afterward a 2min video recording. While on the voice call, I had it paired to my bluetooth headset (Plantronics).
Power left in the battery: 82% (4021mV, 30.0 degrees celcius)
All the standard items loaded as part of the Android OS. I have no data plan yet, so 3G was off, WIFI was off, GPS was off as well. Lastly, brightness was set at 40%.
Is this normal? to loose 18% of my battery within that timeframe and also with the type of usage I went through?
Thanks or any response..!
It could be because your screen was on? If your battery is still bad after 2 weeks try to get a replacement.
I have learned to just accept losing 1% in 1min under heavy use.
I reckon I could empty the battery in an hour and a half with the right conditions. It just sucks, start carrying your usb cable round with you and keep an eye out for USB ports you can nick some juice from. If your lucky you'll get through the day with charge left and not lose your data cable (I'm on my fourth).
Some people claim to get several days use out of their desire. They must have a pact with the devil or something because the best I have ever seen is a day and a half.
This is the common issue for new Desire users, so don't worry its normal what you are facing..!!
-Trust me when i bought my desire i freaked out after heavy use the battery wouldn't even lost for 6-7 hrs..!!
-I had never got one full day out of my desire..!!
-So i did some serious research on this issue and came out with some Awesome solution..!!
-i have written the solution in my blog here:
http://harishanswers.blogspot.com/2010/09/disappointed-about-battery-life-of-your.html
-After reading that post ,follow the instruction that i have given at the last.
i hope you got the solution for your problem
- OpenDesire by AdamG
- SetCPU: (Max 1036800, Min: 245000) Interactive scaling.
Not using the phone, while in standby it lasts basically forever. The longest I've gone without recharging is two days, light/none use.
When I finally recharged it the phone claimed to have about 60-70 % of juice left. Making a phone call would probably leave the battery with 40 %, LOL
Normal use gets me through the day with about 30 % battery at the end of the day. Ca 12-16 normal use.
Hard usage, my phone holds up about 6-7 hours time. When I say hard use, it's constant use.
Thanks for the replies everyone.
My situation hasn't really improved, even with a "app Killer" added to the equation.
like mercianary mentioned, I have been carrying my adaptor and USB cable where ever I go! Not the best method.
I am thinking of buying one of these to carry around..

Try using JuiceDefender. Should boost your battery.
Those tasks are close to the heaviest usage possible so nothing unexpected for a completely stock device. Battery drain is always subject to usage.
Albeit 18% sounds a tad high to me.
Did you verify you were starting at 100% and it didn't drop to 90% within seconds even with no such use (like experienced by many)?

Hi,
I'm planning on buying a Desire HD, but just curious about battery life before I lay down a grand on it.
At the moment I have an HTC Hero, when they were in their heyday many people complained about the short life on them. I can get 2 days out of mine, with syncing over wifi enabled the whole time. I put the complaints down to people with background apps sucking CPU or too much twitter/facebook/whatever crap syncing as well.
Now most of the reports of poor Desire HD battery I life are from people on their first charge (who clearly don't understand the characteristics of Li-ion batteries), people who expect to be able to thrash the phone all day with the screen on without it dying and generally people who just don't sound like they know what they're talking about.
I know there are two bugs which peg the CPU at 100%, the one fixed by having debugging on and the calendar bug, which sounds like it can be fixed by clearing calendar data or leaving syncing off. I think these were affecting some of the people who were complaining about the short battery life.
So my question for Desire HD owners is, can you last at least 6 am till 10 pm with a bit of use (something like 10 min browsing, 20 min IM, email syncing all day, 1 hr music, 20 min calls) without it dying? Currently my Hero does this fine and a full day without a charge is a requirement for me.
Thanks.
Yes, if you set it up correctly. From your post it sounds like you know what your doing when setting it up.
Before i tried the battery calibration i was getting from 8am to 9pm with moderate usage. TBH i was put off by using it as I thought it would just die on me too soon.
After the calibration (search forum for it) i got from 8am to 4pm the following day where the 15% warning hit. So do the calibration and you'll be as happy as i now am with it. I never got my iPhone 4 to last that long!
Thanks for the info guys, exactly what I wanted to hear!
I haven't taken any precautions to save battery life and I am getting 25-26 hours on a full charge...and now having had the phone for 2-3 weeks it seems to be getting even better!! I've been getting 36 hours out of a full charge these past 3 days.
I do not turn wifi off. I have screen brightness on auto. Syncing lots of stuff hourly (even weather!). I use 3g when I go out but this is about 2-3 hours tops on week days cause I have wifi everywhere i go. battery life has never been an issue for me and I use my phone frequently...play games for 20-30 mins. watch videos via. skynews, listen to some music etc. etc.
As for the bugs...I do not have usb debugging turned on and I have never had the /INIT problem...perhaps it was fixed in the last update? and the calender bug...never had that problem either and I use my calander with google calander, facebook, holidays and person agenda.
I think you'll easily last a day with the usage you mention. As a rule, I think you normally get up to 4 hours display on usage off a charge (browsing, messaging, watching vids etc).
I'm travelling from Ireland to NZ on Monday, which will equate to 36 hours travelling with probably no access to a charge, and lots of time spent sitting around using my dhd. There's no way the phone will last right through, so have bought a 5000mAh USB battery pack for £20.

I'm currently at 22 hours and still at 42%.
I get 2 to 4 hours depending on useage from full charge. 8 - 9 hours if left on standby and not used for anything.

Well...I think I have had similar results....
flash one of the custom roms, with one of the OCUV kernels and setting max. speed to one of the UV speeds (mine is set to 1.1 Ghz which is UV 50mV), also setup useful profiles in Setcpu (I have set screen-off to use max 384 mhz - which does cause a 1-3 sec lag when screen is on again) and <20% battery etc...
of course, if you play heavily with your dhd you will not get these results, so you can put wifi on with this , but need to think of what you want to do, because using your DHD for 2 days, does require limited screen usage (imho, this uses a lot of battery)

8-9 hours on standby???????????
even 2-4 hours whilst using it is terrible!!! When I got my HD and unpacked it I didn't put it down after a full charge and I got 8 and a half hours with non-stop heavy use.
I think you have a faulty battery!!

I too moved from a Hero to a DHD and I can say that with similar usage, the DHD loses to the Hero by a decent margin..maybe u might get a couple of hours less of usage compared to the Hero but the difference isn't very drastic
Moreover on the Hero I'm using CM6.1 Froyo overclocked and the DHD is on Sense, so logically speaking the Hero should get slightly better battery life on CM6.1 compared to Sense. I'm sure after rooting and flashing CM6.1 and undervolting/underclock the DHD, i'd get better battery life because the DHD is like much much faster than the Hero, so I'm sure even if i underclock it, it'll still be super fast.

The battery is 'fine' i'm using current widget to track and its performing to around 1100 mah which is not too far below spec. The problem is the current draw. In use i'm drawing 500 to 800 mA and in standby around 80 to 300 mA. These figures are consistent with the battery life I'm seeing and the battery working close to spec (1230mAh i think?)
There are lots of bundled apps like Maps running all the time in standby drawing current and I haven't yet figured out how to stop them. Stopping them with task manager just sees them restart with even bigger current draw.

Something is definitely wrong (as I'm sure you're aware) with only 9 hours on standby.
Out of interest, remove ALL widgets and see what difference it makes. Also, give us an example of what processes are running?
I would get rid of all task killers and also anything monitoring your system. Those themselves can draw more than you think.

wow well I'm no battery expert but it really sounds like something is not right there. I don't have any battery drain from apps in standby and I do use maps.
I got 1 day and 16 hours from a full charge today (just put it back on charge now).
Thats with wifi on for 31 hours (always on, doesnt sleep when the screen locks), 1 hour and 24 mins of talk time and the screen on for 4 hours and 5 mins.

thats definitely wrong somehow.. should never drain that much, perhaps it is because you let currentwidget drain it all the time
(na dont know why it is like that but it definitely is way too high)
official firmware, medium screen brightness, default sync widgets
heavy use: 12-15 hours
light use: 24 to 36 hours
this is how its been for me ever since the battery calibrated, needs around a week or use the battery calibration trick
I too have just moved from a Hero (running VillainRom 12) to the DHD (stock Sense over FroYo) and even though I have only had it a week, the battery easily lasts a whole day with the moderate use you describe. Unless I get stuck into a session of " Angry Birds ", which seems to kill the battery pretty fast. But ABs had the same affect on my Hero. Constant screen time on that beautiful 4.3" display sucks the battery. I find the same thing when using the DHD as an in-car gps. The warmth of the back of the case is testament to how much energy has been expended. So I connect to the car charger now. I have also bought a portable backup battery (plugs into the microUSB) just in case.
I don't regret spending NZD1000 on the DHD. My son is looking forward to inheriting the Hero.
Well I charged it up overnight when I got it, my first full day was today and I got 7 am till 8:30 pm using it almost constantly (quiet day at work). I don't know how people can run them flat a day with normal use. And I know it'll improve a lot after a few charge cycles.
It doesn't look like it's going to be much worse than my Hero.
Thanks for all the advice. I uninstalled all widgets and it improved a little. But still things like maps/maps sync were constantly burning juice and no way of stopping them running.
I installed Launcher Pro and can report that my battery life has approximately doubled. Typically i was getting 4 - 6 hrs use and sometimes only 2 (light use). Now getting between 8 and 12 hours of fairly heavy use. Its still not up to some of the figures others are reporting but Launcher Pro has helped a lot as all those constantly running apps that were draining my battery just dont start themselves up any more!

Ok I'm starting this thread in hopes to track down whatever is eating my GN's battery.
As an indication, this is the typical usage my phone will endure during one workin day:
12.00AM - 07.00AM : Phone is on the charger, turned on but idle
07.00AM : unplug the charger around 7.00AM
07.40AM - 08.40AM : driving to work during which time a constant BT connection to my cars handsfree kit is sustained.
08.40AM - 05.30PM : very little active usage, it does however fetch mail from my company's mail server (exchange) which can be quite a lot (+- 50 emails/day)
05.30PM - 06.30PM : driving home, BT connection for one hour again
06.30PM - 12.00AM : perhaps more usage compared to the day because I tend to check email and some websites in the couch on it (when my EEE Transformer is outta reach )
My configuration has all options constantly turned on (GPS,BT,WiFi,NFC)
There might be some gaming but not more than 30 minutes per day (some angry birds while on the crapper )
I have the phone for one week now, and seldomly the battery will last until I go to bed (12.00AM usually) where I can plug it in.
Now I'm not the kinda guy who expects days out of a decent Android phone, but it should at least get me through one working day.
So to find out if this is just how it's gonna be, or if there's something wrong with my phone and/or Android in general, I've done the following:
I've followed this thread a bit and learned the key to testing battery usage is to charge it fully and then let it sit without charger idle overnight and see how much current usage (mA) can be seen.
I've used the 'Battery Monitor Widget' app to track my usage during the night.
This is what I've come up with so far:

So what the heck happened here???
9521mA loss over 325 minutes, an average of 29.29538 mA per minute
My battery was nearly half depleted while having been idle for 5.5 hours!
I think for now I'll ignore this last run-down of the battery, but this at least proves that sometimes strange stuff happens beneath the hood which we (or at least I) cannot (yet) explain.
If I look in my battery usage screen it just says:
Screen : 37%
Android OS : 29%
All others below 10%
I'll keep updating this thread over the coming days and hopefully find the culprit...
I'm in the same situation, i'm a fairly heavy user. I have a iPhone4s also and i can get through a working day (lots of checking, push emails, RSS feeds etc) and the phone is on about 50% at the end of the day.
I've had my GN for a few days now and the battery is at 50% before lunch.. i'm probably using it less. Even compared to my Google Nexus one this phone is really crap for battery.
I'm running MCR Rom with the UV kernel and its still bad. SCreen is normally about 50-60% usage, Android OS is about 30-40%.
Really need to get this sorted as its hell.
You seem to have this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20310279
I found if I have the Facebook app installed and logged in on my phone, my battery bites the dust.
Wouldn't even make it past noon and I remove from charger at 7am. It was bad, even after removed sync and notifications.
I just installed Friendcaster about a month ago, and i'ts been wonderful even since.. now i'm getting at the most 20hrs of battery.
I too also run corporate sync on my phone, but I tured the push off and just set it to like every hour or so. But yeah i think; next to bluetooth, facebook
is the most common killer of batteries on the nexus.

bringing up a 11 month old thread is awesome.
You spend 30 minutes sitting on the crapper? You don't live with females, do you?
Anyways, what is killing your battery is the screen and mobile internet usage.
Damn,I realized this thread is so old the guy probably died of old age by now.

Got my ZenWatch yesterday and charged it up and used it all day today.. but after just 13 hours - the battery was down to 5%. Most of the reviews I've read suggest 24-36 hours of use.
Anyone else finding the batteries are a little light?
Give the battery a bit of time to settle in. And plus your using the watch a bit more intensively than designed for.
I would be very interested how you'll go after a few days, and a few charge cycles.

The reviews are definitely biased. Mine dropped 50% in only 4 hrs with brightness sett to minimum. Totally dissatisfied with this watch. The performance doesn't even come close to matching the looks.
my wife takes it off the charger at 7:30. When I looked last night around 12:00, it still had 35%. She has it always-on and I think brightness at 3...
I did notice that it seem to disconnect from her phone at a shorter distance than my moto would. Both watches connected to note 4s.
Here is something to think about. I had the moto 360 and returned it primarily do to battery life. Had it for two weeks and hoped it would get better but I would take it off the charger at 530 am and it would be dead before 5 pm sometimes even early afternoon. I got this watch set it up and charged it over night. Took it off the charger at 530 and it was dead by noon the first day. Second took it off the charger at 530 and it lasted until 5. I was thinking I would have to return it but yesterday I took it off at 530 am and at 11 pm it still had 13%. I have been going always on, brightness at 2 or 3. I get a ton of email and text. What I'm saying is maybe it's too early to tell....I got two full days with the gear neo but it just wasn't as cool.
The battery life is excellent here.
One of the review says the battery is horrible if you have "unlock my phone" feature checked on Zenwatch manager. So try to deactivate that feature and try it.
The battery life on my Zenwatch is excellent. I am confident that it will last me the whole day even with active use.
Usually there may be some 3rd party apps that can drain the battery, such as incompatible watch Face.
Couldn't be happier with the battery life! Getting through a full 12-16 hour day with plenty to spare.
Seems like the better battery life is holding up. Took it off the charger at 530 and it is now 10 and I still have 18%.....haven't changed my habits. Won't last even close to two days. But one full day is acceptable.

I think you're right - on day two, I'm at 33% after the same time elapsed. I actually don't use it too intensely and I leave the brightness at 1. We'll see how it goes over the next week.

Definitely, in fact, I removed all the Wear apps from my phone because Wellness was killing my phone's performance, then when I noticed the Watch still thought it was using Wellness, I factory reset the watch and reinstalled just a few apps and left things like 'unlock my phone' off... and it's doing better today.
Thanks everyone for the input.
Keep us updated
I'm waiting for it to be released in Australia.. getting impatient.

I unplugged my watch at 6:30 yesterday morning. At 7:30 pm it still had 63% left. I don't bother with any type of wellness app, at all. I don't bother with any type of 'find my phone' or 'find my watch' or phone unlocking app. I don't use the always on feature, but keep brightness on 3 due to being outside quite often. I use the watch strictly for notifications, and replying to Hangouts messages via the voice input. I have 3 weather locations set in Google Now that all show on my watch, and I play Words With Friends with a dozen different people. Between all that, plus emails, texts and calls I get 100s of notifications throughout each day. To have 63% left at the end of the workday is very acceptable. I could easily go out after work till the wee hours of the morning without any worry of the battery giving out before I do.
Mine goes all day and evening with plenty of juice to spare. I have taken no measures to preserve the battery. I use it to unlock my moto x as well. No issues with battery life that I have seen after 3 days of using the watch.
After the first day of crappie battery life. I am getting a good 18 hours. I'm not doing anything either to preserve battery life. It is WAY better than my moto 360 experience. I usually only have 10 to 13 % left when I put it on the charger but I would charge every night anyway.
It's been good for me... I've been using it with the display always on plus one or more watch faces with weather. Gets me about 16 hours or so. I've been using turn by turn navigation plus media control quite a bit. I've also spent an hour or more playing with facer watch faces.

My watch has now been off the charger for a little over ten hours and I still have 63% battery life left. Holy crap! Best battery life yet, by far, since I've had the watch. Guess it takes about a week to settle in. Couldn't be happier.
Update: It's now been about 13 hours off the charger, and my watch just hit 50%... Starting to think this 2 day battery life claim holds water... Very happy right now!
Much improved now... 14.5 hrs on constantly and I'm at 52%.. which means it should be good for another 14.5 hrs which is 29 hours total run time.
I only need 18 so getting 29 is more than excellent!
I think the battery "guestimate" needs a short while to settle in with such a small battery. The first couple days I actually saw my battery percentage go *up* 3-5% between checking it. When it's saying it's low the first few days you have it, it likely actually isn't.
One last note - as has been mentioned before - some apps can really just suck the watch's battery dry, even apps that seem like they shouldn't. I hope Goog gets a handle on this because there's no really good way that I can see to know in advance other than installing and checking battery use over a day.

Can anyone post anything they have done differently to get the better life. I'm getting close to 2 weeks with it, have seen it get better after it "settled in", but I'm still trying to get a little better. I can make it through the day, but usually only barely and I'm over the constantly fiddling with it part of ownership. I get maybe 50-60 notifications a day. I've tried uninstalling apps, trying to stick with stock watchfaces, it's really hard to tell.
I'm really looking forward to the next update so that I can see what apps are using the battery. I tried the Wear Battery App, but someone suggested they thought it was draining the battery itself. Just seeing if there is a consensus on what works and what doesn't. I have removed almost all the ASUS apps, the unlock one really helped a lot. Thanks.

I have no such problem but a co-worker was having terrible drain and he uninstalled the Asus Zenwatch manager itself and it fixed his problem. Best advice I can give is to uninstall all the apps other than the android wear app, and maybe even kill it just to see what happens, and then slowly add them back in.
For comparison, I took mine off the charger at 7am this morning so after 12 hours I'm at 55%. I dim the display but don't turn it off. I'm using a nice face from the Intellicom app and I probably get several hundred notifications over the course of the day. I'm more than happy with this device.
Hello everyone, new to the forum since I just picked up my note 10+ and thiught this forum seemed more knowledgeable than others for battery issues or issues in general. I dont really know if it's an issue but I'm curious of how others people batteries are acting for their note 10+'s. Mine died a few hours ago and once it hit 100% I removed the charger and didn't use it for just over an hour and I noticed my battery went down to 2%. I have my always on screen on of course, most of the apps were dead and I did optimize the battery in the settings while my phone was charging then stopped using it until it charged fully. So I had no apps open and I had a version of battery saving on. I did medium but left the higher res screen on including the cpu at 100%. Would this cause my battery to go down 2% in an hour without any use?
For a side question, is there a better way to get the most out of your battery? I always thought it was let it die everyone inna while but I read recently charging it to 80 then letting it down to 60 and back up to 80 and repeat is the best? If that's true, how do you keep that up and how long will you need to keep that before normal chargers?
Thanks. Hope someone can help
If it went down 2% in an hour, that's 50 hours of standby plus always on display. That's crazy good.

Best way to go is using normal charge an never let the battery drop below 20% forget about trying to maintain certain range (60-80), it will just drive you crazy

If I put my iPad mini to sleep at 100%, I wake up the next morning with 100%. Maybe 99. But usually 100.
That's not the norm, and it's not perfect apples to apples, but it is possible.
Also, 2 days of standby with zero use is not unusual, but definitely not "crazy good".

Wow that is unusual. Do a search for "sleeping apps" in setting and add all the apps you don't need running in the back ground. Also in device care > battery you can see what app is using your battery.

So besides that little fight you had with the other forum member (lol) I appreciate your comment. But there seems to be back and forth, one other person says its good, another says its not. (the one I quoted below). Just seems weird to me that with no open or running apps and just the always on display running that it went down in an hour in 2%. Searching around, people saying losing 1% In an hour with the same set up, no running apps with AOD is bad. I kind of agree since its not truly in use. But unfortunately I cannot find any battery standby tests from Samsung or anyone else to confirm it.

I agree with you more honestly that it shouldn't be going down that fast in an hour with just the AOD running. I didn't have any apps running once it 100%, I was on it while charing it to around 50% but then once I knew I was putting it down for a while I ran the optimization and had the phone kill all the apps. When I saw it go down the 2% I did check out the apps using the battery and the AOD was the only thing listed. Maybe I didn't charge to a full 100%? even though it said 100%... Ill check it out tomorrow once I charge it fully again, today I was charging it up and down most of the day sadly. I try and keep most apps from not running in the background, some I do need though like for my IoT devices needing to know my location, I have yet to change that to just using LTE as my location GPS, but that was not on last night all. Ill try out the sleeping apps though, I didn't know there was a setting for that. Thanks again
AOD typically consumes 1%~2% in my past note devices(7,8,9)

Battery optimization takes a little bit so if you just started using the phone give it a few days.
Also, package disabler or ADB can be used to turn off any major things that you are not using (i.e. Bixby or DeX).
Regarding Cell life: Yes between about 30% and 80% are the optimal percents. That doesn't mean try and always keep it there, that would just be silly and unrealistic.
However, it is important to be conscious of this. For example, don't leave your phone on the charger for days on end sitting at 100%. Don't leave your phone in a drawer or a backpack with 0% in the cells.
Cells are technically damaged (or worn would be a better word) every cycle. The most damage comes from when the voltage drops to its lowest point and its highest point. (i.e. 0% and 100%)
For example, if someone were to charge a LiPo or Li-Ion battery only between 30% - 80% for an entire year and another person with the same phone always went down to 1% and always to 100%, the latter phone would have more cell wear thus it would not hold as much power.
Once you learn of this and become conscious of this then you tend to adjust your habits. All other myths and theories about battery calibration have really not been a thing in many many generations of Android. While you can screw up battery calibration through a service menu, rarely (if at all) a battery loses calibration. Most people start seeing battery wear and think its a calibration issue and then seek ways to fix this. At that point, it cannot be achieved because there is a physical change to their battery which can only be refreshed by getting a new battery.
Reporting my battery life. I guess this is truly an all day device.
Give it a couple days to settle. The first three days, mine got pretty bad battery life. Then yesterday I got almost 10 hours of screen time after using it pretty heavy all day. Mixture of Facebook (battery hog), Internet, texting, emailing, and using the camera (also a battery hog). What finally killed the battery was me downloading, installing, and uninstalling multiple versions of GCam trying to find one that worked well enough to use. I finally found one before my phone hit 0%.

In an hour? Last night I even scheduled it off and had no running apps and medium power saving mode fully on and lost 5% battery in roughly 7 hours with no use.

This is useful, thank you. Never knew not discharging device is the way to go but we all learn new things every day. I'm at 65% right now, when waking up at 6am with 95%. Wireless android auto for about an hour, plus okay-ish use. Ill make sure to charge it up to around 80% tonight.

Thanks, I think I am seeing a bit better today after having it for 4 days or so now? Ill follow the above quote about calibration and go from there.

Over 8 hours screen time is great, best I've gotten so far is 7.5 hours
I just wanted to throw my two cents in here... My battery life is pretty terrible in comparison to my S10+. Trying to find a rogue app of some sort but I just hit 1% with 12 hours off the charger. Keep in mind that is not 12 hours of use. In fact I used it for about an hour of total screen time today.

Yeah I came from an S10+ and noticed my battery on the N10+ was pretty bad in comparison.
I did restore everything from my S10+ though, not a clean install of everything.
Wonder if that may be causing issues.
Is everyone having problems on Verizon?
Quote " Last night I even scheduled it off and had no running apps and medium power saving mode fully on and lost 5% battery in roughly 7 hours with no use."
Unless you put it in airplane mode, your phone will keep connected to cell tower (or wifi if you have wifi calling) otherwise you won't receive calls and messages, so there is no such thing as phone with no use, and if you have weak signal or some interference your battery usage can increase drastically even in standby because the cell radio will try to connect at full transmit power. And then you have all those programs running in the background, God knows what they're doing. As others suggested disable programs you don't use, also you can force close programs that you don't use often. When I had my older Note rooted, I optimized it so well it would run 2% down per 8 hrs overnight, but it took some effort. Biggest problem is to know what to disable without loosing functionality for stuff you need. Give it some time for people to learn more about new phone. BTW my 3 day old phone has 435 apps and services installed and most of them I have no idea what they do.
