Is it normal for the battery status bar to be a little slow to appear on the power tab in settings sometimes? It's a bit hit and miss, sometimes it does it, sometimes not. Mostly does this after bringing the phone out of standby, getting a little annoying.
Mine was always instant using the stock rom.
Have just checked it on the custom rom i'm using and don't have that issue on this rom either.
What % of memory is it sitting at? (Mine rarely gets over 50%)
Have you installed a lot of additional apps?
This is with nothing installed except my contacts and diary. My TP doesn't do it and that has got a shed load of apps on it. hmmm
hmm....
maybe someone else running the vodafone rom will pop on and say if they have the same issue.
I honestly can't ever remember having that issue.
Sorry i can't be of more help.
no worries As I say, doesn't do it all the time.
this morning all of my alarms failed to go off for some reason. i'm very lazy / a heavy sleeper so it's a miracle that i woke up at all.
the only thing that i can think of is that the phone was being charged / in a dock this morning - does anyone know of any settings that would stop the alarm from sounding when the phone is being charged ?
Two questions:
1. Was the phone switched off? If so, the alarms won't ring.
2. Do you use a task killer? If so, killing the clock will stop alarms from ringing.
Regards,
Dave
hey dave,
[hangs head in shame]
now that you mention it, i DO have a task killer that i rarely use EXCEPT for last night. for some reason i think i was mucking about before i went to bed and i killed the clock to see what would happen. sense crashed and restarted and i thought nothing more about it ...
mystery solved (hopefully) - thanks !
That sounds like it would be the cause! Didn't over sleep for anything important then!
wanna trade your phone for my HD2?
Hi All,
I have been searching this forum but cannot find any threads with this issue.
Before i do a hard reset I want to check with other users if you have this issue and there is a fix.
My HTC Desire works fine during the day (most of the time). I put my phone on AC charge overnight and then the next day I first notice the No Sound issue is when my Alarm goes off (Snooze on Screen\Slide to Dismss etc) but there is no sound. The sounds a default tones and not custom MP3.
If I check all other sounds (ringtone, email\SMS notications etc) nothing plays so it is not just a silly alarm sound issue as other forums have experienced with manual Alarm sound turned off etc. All Volumes are set full.
The only way I can fix the issue is with a reboot which then fixes all the sounds during the day until i put my phone on AC charge overnight for the issue to repeat (and again not get woken up) which i need to do do to charge the battery and ensure I have enough charge for the next day.
I have been searching this and other forums all week but cannot find a fix for this issue.
I don't recall exactly when this issue started but it was around the time i updated to 2.1. I did have Task Managers (including all ignores for the clock) but these have been removed.
So I am thinking of doing a hard reset but before i do, if you have this issue and know of a fix then please help...
Thanks
Lee - and be nice if there is another thread already for this :--)
Hey everyone, last weekend I unrooted and wiped my phone, went back to factory settings, rerooted and installed CM6.1 RC2. I've been enjoying it so far (because I hate Sense UI) but I've got a couple of questions that need answered. Hopefully you all can help me.
CM6
1. Is there a setting to turn off always-on mobile data? I cannot find it.
2. For some odd reason, I cannot turn on bluetooth. I've not had a problem with turning on bluetooth with any other rom. In fact, I remember testing bluetooth the night I installed CM6. Is this an issue with the phone or the rom?
3. No matter how much I turn off Auto-Sync, it turns back on. What is doing this?
Battery Life
1. On average, I get around 10-14 hours battery life a day, maybe a little more if I barely use my phone all day. I've heard a lot of people say that an ideal battery drain with the screen off should be 1-2%/hour, but mine will drain from 6% to even 10% in 40-50 minutes (EDIT: Currently 75% battery left, unplugged for 2hrs 30min, done nothing but use the browser for 5 minutes, download something, and install it)! I use systempanel and spareparts to monitor which apps could possibly be doing this, but none look like they're eating up too much of the battery. I check Facebook 4-5 times a day, use the browser, and check Gmail. I don't use Google Talk. My screen brightness is around 30-40% and I have underclocked when the screen is off with setcpu. What is draining my battery so fast? It's a shame that there are so many cool things to do with this phone but I can't do them in fear of my battery dying before the end of the day
Sorry, that last question was long, but I did not want 2 separate posts. Thanks guys, I hope you can help!

1. no. you could however turn data roaming off or use a program to accomplish this such as "tasker"
2. what do you mean you cant turn it on? what does it do when you enable it? use the widget in your notification drop down.
3. turn off background data as well and that should fix your problem.
and as for you other question. 10-14hrs is perfectly normal for battery life on cm6.1. and fyi: its RC1. there is no RC2 for 6.1 as of yet

Ah thanks for correcting my mistake, and answering my questions. My battery life isn't terrible per se, but I guess I was asking more on how I could make it better (and if I had a rogue app/other battery eater), especially because I see people claiming anywhere from 20-40 hours with a few tweaks.
And regarding the bluetooth issue, it just won't turn on. The option grays out for a few seconds like it usually does when it's initializing, and then it doesn't turn on. The notification widget method does not work either.
Also, there's no other way to turn off auto-sync? I just think it would be a hassle having to turn background data back on everytime I want to use the market. I use JuiceDefender, too, could there possibly be a conflict between the app and my phone's settings?
Man i'm with you here, I use CM6.1 too and love it but the first 30 minutes i unplug the phone from charging i'm already at like 90% battery =/

I had the same problem with my Bluetooth recently. When I try to search for devices the phone locks up and I have to pull the battery. Wonder if this is a kernel issue. I am on snap

Yep, I'm on Snap too; must be it.
Another thing; I've got a friend on Stock 2.2 Sense (battery sucking widgets filling the home screen, etc) with 100% brightness and mobile data constantly on and he gets better battery life than me (20+ hours!) What is going on!?!?!

I couldn't believe it either, he had 3G on all day and everything and we barely get any signal at all in class. On for almost 8hrs with more than 70% left. I was at about 53%
Hi,
I just got a DHD a few days ago and so far it is wicked! Battery lasts about 2 days (for my normal usage).
One annoying thing I have found yesterday is that I cannot take pictures with the flash on when the battery is under 15%. I was at a party, just about to go home, wanted to take a few pics and I couldn't! Also, after getting home, I couldn't use the flashlight and I didnt want to wake up anyone... Is there anyway to disable this silly feature?
Hello Vikeor,
Maybe you should try to disable power saver in your case.
Go to settings -> Power saver and there you have some options.
haha.... good point
Thanks!
ufortunately the flash cant be enabled from there
This is just something HTC do to try and preserve battery. If you get a widget (or app) which has an LED flashlight option, it should work from there. I use the extended control widget which has a flashlight option; and it works under 15%.
kinda silly.... what if you come home late with under 15% and want to charge your phone without waking anyone up :/ The flash doesnt work for the camera either, so those last second photo moments might be lost forever!
Try a high ISO and a steady hand in low light with no flash. If you can, also prop the phone up against something solid to reduce shake
