Battery life-desire 88% display! - Desire General

Hey guys how is everyone? Just a quick one...
In the past 12 months I've had my desire I'm shocked at how short my fone battery lasts. I can barely get 8 hours off the phone without a recharge. The phone sometimes switches off as soon as it gets to 15%. I've tried to calibrate the battery, wiping battery stats but all to no avail. Just this morning I've had the phone on for 1hour 10mins. From a full overnight charge its already at 64%. Battery use always shows the display to be using atleast 70%! I'm on the old amoled desires. Anything I can do peeps? Cheers

What's the total time of battery?

NB. Currently using android oxygen 2.3.3. Noticed no difference in any of the default htc roms I've used.

Been on 1hr 20mins and its shed 40%. I can try and take a screenshot for you guys

That sounds about normal to me, it sucks, get used to it or use your phone less. sorry.

Also forgot to mention screen brightness generally between 30-50%. Cheers folks

You probably messed up your battery with all that "calibrating". Unless your standby usage is significantly more than 10mA there isn't much you can do.

I had the same problem with oxygen. My fix was to unpartition my SD card. So no ap2sd. I use the hboot for different. I easily get 24 hrs with heavy data and video use.
May need a fresh install.

[Q] Mobile discharging without use, is this normal?

During the night my phone over a period of 6 hours, lost 3% without using any battery, with wifi, gps, data synchronization and automatic everything off. This autonomy is normal? For other devices I had, like the Galaxy and S remained the same with no loss of load in the same situation.
I'm using the rom CoreDroid 6.6, kernel 3.1.2 and Lee 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2 Radio.
I thank you all.
It's normal, as long as the phone is is on you will lose some charge. Only 3% might be considered quite good actually.

If I change rom or kernel I get improvements?
As I said, 3% is quite good so there's not much room for improvement. The phone can't be on without using any power.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
I understand, but as informed, on other devices, I have not had any loss at night, as was the case with Samsung S Galaxy, and got change for this new rom in your case and discharge the battery of your device in the same situation?
Well the SGS is a different phone. The DHD is a more powerful phone and thus uses more battery. The battery capacity isn't the greatest either (1230mAh) and thus it will lose charge faster. 3% drop in 6 hours is nothing to worry about.
Hawks556 Okay, thank you for the information, I'm certainly more relaxed in knowing that this is normal, anyway I will test other rom and kernel and then post the results here.
Allright, but remember to calibrate the battery everytime you flash a new rom and let the rom/kernel settle for a couple of complete battery cycles before comparing.

[Q] high battery drain on ARHD 6.1.0

hi all, i am experiencing ridiculous battery drain on my desire hd. usually last about 10hrs with little to moderate use, have tried battery calibration but did not make any difference? i quite often see battery drain of 100 - 300 mah but do not know what is using that power.
Any other known fixes?
Am going to do a clean flash of 6.1.1 over weekend to see if this helps...

yep... when i was on ARHD 5.2 with the older radio i never had this problem.
i have noticed the battery drain on standby quite often. i have sent just a few text messages and read a few e-mails today and battery already down to 47% after just 8 hours, which is only because i refrained from using it too much...
i'll tried the calibratiojn by damo but charged while the phone was switched on... will try this again like you said,
thanks

[Q] Strange

When I install a new rom on my DHD, one thing always stays the same, the background image, and also seem the battery wipe did not work, anyone know what can be.

Well the background is backed up by your Google account, what do you mean the battery wipe?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA App
the battery lasts about 12 hours which is weird, because today I put a battery borrowed and spent 10% in about half an hour, then put my before was 78% and now was 98%, these exchanges were made ​​10:30am until now I have 59%.
But what I find strange is the first 20% to 30% is spent very quickly after already takes a little longer but after 12 hours 1%.
what is the problem
Well fill the battery and wipe battery stats as normal, then run the battery up and down a few times and should all be normal.

[Q] horrible battery problem on ONE X

I know there are loads of threads about the HTC ONE X battery but I really could not find a proper answer to my question so im starting a new thread. So I have had my 1X since last thursday, just over a week now and the battery life has been utterly horrible. But the worst thing is that the battery life is getting drastically shorter and shorter every day. Now its unbearable I cant even use the phone. I wonder if it might be because I did not do any 'first time battery charge'?. I just booted the phone instantly instead because honestly I did not know that you had to charge the battery before booting the phone the first time. The first time I started the phone it had just over 40% of battery and I used it until the phone shut off and charged it 100% after that while it was updating to the newest software. Is this perhaps the reason why the battery life is so god damn horrible and even worse than other 1X's?. When I charge the phone 100% it drains 1% of battery or more every minute now just when browsing the menu or the web or just doing nothing but putting the screen on. The screen brightness setting is on automatic and I have tried all kinds of battery savers and now im using juice defender ultimate still the battery life is horrible. I kill and close apps all the time and have nothing running in the background when not using it and I always turn off wifi when not using and I turn off auto sync and all the other battery eating tasks and stuff. Still I cant use the phone. When its 100% charged at about 8:00 in the morning the battery is done for at around 10:30 with moderate use. I cant get more than about 3 hours of on screen time before the battery is finished so basically what should I do? Is this normal?

3 hours of on screen time isn't high but it's not abnormal either.

And if you'd have read the other threads that you said don't apply to you you'd realize that because your phone is still new battery life will improve with more charging cycles. If you expect more than 3 hours on the low-end or five on the absolute high-end of screen on time the One X isn't for you. Because of the non-replaceable battery (which shouldn't be a surprise) a lot of us have auxiliary battery chargers for getting through the day when the phone can't be topped up on AC power. Speaking for myself, the design of the phone is what attracted me to it and the non-replaceable battery is a trade-off I accepted. That might not be a trade-off everyone’s willing to accept and the One X isn't going to win any battery life awards.
Autobrightness seemed to cause my battery to drain. Turned it off and its much better (or seems that way for now)

Charging your battery when you first get it does absolutely nothing. Wiping battery stats and callibrating also do absolutely nothing.

Upload few screens of your battery usage so we can see what is causing such drain. I can tell you already now the screen is the main battery drain. A phone can barely survive 4 hours of heavy usage, especially not on automatic brightness.

Yeah ill do that, how do I take a screen shot? Powerbutton + homebutton thing doesn't seem to work for me :S. Today for example iv'e charged the phone 3 times and after the 2nd charge I used to phone for 5 hours and 25m until only a few % of the battery was left. I had juice defender ultimate up and running most of the time and screen time was at around a bit over 2 and a half hours. All I did was some web browsing and mostly menu browsing and setting browsing on the phone and some xda developer browsing with the app. No gaming whatsoever. Really horrible battery... such a pity considering how much I love the phone otherwise. Its no problem when im at home connecting it to the computer with the usb cable all the time but when im actually using the phone outdoors its frustrating as sh*t.
It doesn't really matter what you are doing, you will only get around three hours of screen on time.

Have you tried easy battery saver, started using it on my HOX over 30HRS ago browsing, video calls and still have 33% life left. If it doesn't work I suggest you return for a replacement. Could be factory defect.

I reckon it is. My battery lasts me one and a half days to 2 on a stock standard One X.

Yeah, that was the first one I used, it didn't really help but juicedefender on the other hand helps me squeeze out a bit more battery life

Sounds like a lemon, have it replaced asap. HOX is the only android device I had that gets me through the day w/o charging doing basic stuffs (data always on etc) like what normal people do. I've had sleepless nights last month because my 2-week old GN got pick pocketed battery life for GN in my case was horrible (5 hours).
how do you know if your battery is defective? i'm getting around the same battery life myself :/
This is why unreplaceble batteries suck. I wish I'd bought the s3 instead still though I love the HOX only if the battery was a bit better ffs. Im getting a little bit better battery today but with loads of tweaks, still some 'untweaked' hoxes get better battery lives, still though it seems like there are loads of one x's that have the same issue as I do. Does this mean all one x are different or what?

I tried calibrating the battery with a play store application. So far I've seen no improvement but I guess it's to early to say.

[Q]Drunk battery?

Hello guys,
You might not know me, but i'm new to the Desire HD forums. I just bought one from a friend and i realy love the device.
Anyway,
I thought i might aswell root it. So after 3 hours, i finally managed to root my Desire HD/ace.
While flashing This Rom, 4EXT recovery said i had 50% battery left.
After flashing, and booting, the Device said that the battery was 95% full?
Is there something wrong with my Radio?
Thanks in advance,
TheRinseM.

Radio has nothing to do with battery (at least as far as spikes; I suppose a more inefficient radio could drain more battery). Did you full wipe before flashing? How old is your battery?
No the flashed ROM's on our Desire HD particularly ICS and JB have a problem with Battery %. Sometimes you can get random falls and a reboot will usually put the % right again. If you charge to 100% overnight then go into recovery and reset battery stats it can help.

My battery said it was 56%, then i did a reboot, and it was 95%. But wiping battery stats works! Thanks alot!

Mine has the drunk battery too. I really have no idea what the battery percent really is ever, but it never runs out before getting down to 0% so at least I have some reserve. I have the original battery in mine.

wipe battery stats in recover, I think.
Did not work. Stock and cm10.1 it's the same no matter what I try. I "calibrated" the battery several times. Has no effect. I guess the battery isn't as bad as it first seems because after it gets below reading around 40% it drops slower the lower it gets. 1% will last another half hour screen on time playing a game.

New battery may fix this. I had this jumping around issue a few months ago irrespective of the ROM and it turned out the battery was dying.
My next step is a new battery when I have the money. That's what I think is the problem as well.

1% lasting 1/2 hour screen on is very good what are your battery stats, Mine is about 13 1/2hrs with 30% left using in 3g plus Sync and internet and calls and navigation on AOKP 7/4/13.

With screen on it can go from 100% to 45% in like half an hour or less iv think. Once below 40% it lasts a while. I can get a day out of it moderate use. Should be good once I replace the battery.
