Hi,
I am having severe problems with battery life where Uptime is equal to Awake or at least very very close to it. I kill Calendar (calendar.bg process) each time after starting the phone, and still I suffer from problems. Today my battery died from 100 to 25 in 7 hours, and I removed both Flickr and killed Google Calendar Sync process again. I've noticed that too many times Google Calendar sync icon in the Google Content Provider window is turning around while there aren't any changes of Google Calendars I've made.
Is it possible and a good solution overall to turn off syncing Calendar via Google content provider and instead configure a Exchange with Google Sync?
I am not sure about calender killing but I just use juicydefender and thgat has massively improved my battery life to over double the time..... might be worth trying that....
I use JuiceDefender as well (UltimateJuice edition) but despite that my phone has died today, so far it is around 9% and I have absolutely no idea why it's dying so fast.
I think I must have some application that prohibits my phone from going into sleep mode. I turned off Flickr completely (I use PicPush to push photos online), I just removed Fring and eBuddy from my phone (I think the culpit may be eBuddy but not really sure). I use Executive Assistant although without Twitter/Facebook pulls.
My Twitter pull is 2 hours. My Facebook pull is 4 hours. I use both internal Sense Peeps and external Twitter for Android content providers because I like to have Peep tweets into my Contact List, althought I am looking for feedback if this is eating too much battery.
Anyway the major sync problem is the Calendar. IT'S TAKING AGES AND ALMOST EVERY TIME I GO TO SYNC WHEN PHONE IS SYNCING, IT'S CALENDAR THAT ROLLS ITS PROGRESS ICON TO NO END. I have no idea why HTC is doing this travesty with its phones, and absolutely no idea how to make Calendar behave on my phone.
Anyway, I ordered MUGEN 3200 MAh battery as a long-term solution. 7mm on the phone's width won't be the best thing to have but it is something I'll get used to if I want to have a phone that lives through a day even if used.
WHAT THE HELL!?
I have turned off Google Calendar sync, and configured Google Sync as Exchange for Calendar events only. Despite the fact, I've noticed the turning circle of sync progress in front of Google Calendar sync (in Google Account) even if it is unchecked. I am totally lost now, what can I do to resolve this?
My next Android may not be HTC.
Hmm - I had exactly the same problem, 'Calendar' using up most of the partial wake. However I'm not convinced it is really the Google Calendar itself causing the problem. I've still got the Agenda widget installed but switched off syncing for the 'Stock' app (as I never use it anyway) and also deleted my Flickr account from the phone - even after a few reboots that still seems to have done the trick and the Calendar partial wake is now miniscule and battery life has shot up.
Do you want to try removing your Flickr account completely and see if that helps?
I've already raised a ticket with HTC about this (and a few other issues). They weren't that helpful when I first emailed them, they've been much better since I phoned them and asked for it to be escalated to a level 2 agent. I'm now getting pretty much daily updates from their agent. They asked me to remove the Agenda widget to see if it helped but now I don't have the problem it's difficult to try these things out - I'm sure they'd be happy to work with you. After you've logged the issue then feel free to PM your email +/- ticket number and I can update my ticket to ask them to run through the troubleshooting with you too.
I have the same issue with my Desire, I don't know how the battery life can be this bad to be honest , but from what I have heard from the latest update the battery life has been really bad for a lot of people, but some others have been lucky.
I have emailed HTC, so lets see what they have to say. Looks like we may have to wait for the next software update so they can resolve this issue.
Other than that I love my Desire and am extremely happy with it

Meanwhile I did this:
I did a factory reset of the phone today, and reinstalled some of the apps I really use and none of those I just kept for rare occasions. I cut down apps that have processes as well.
I turned off Internet Time as I saw online it improved battery time. I don't sync Stocks. I do sync Weather however.
I did not add Flickr account.
I use Pure Calendar that uses the standard Calendar content provider. So I cannot turn off the content provider yet. I know Agenda but its not as good as Pure Calendar. But I did add Calendar content via Exchange. I noticed Exchange sync to be much much faster than the old dragging for a minute or two Google content provider calendar sync.
My battery dies to 95 over couple minutes. I guess calibration is screwed through factory reset as well, I should have never updated with the OTA but got tempted by the Memory Management optimization.
Same here, I dony sync google calander and no flickr. My facebook and twitter are set up for 2 hours and Im using juice defender ultimate. I noticed every time I unlock my fone after the screen gone off it starts to sync even though I have set up everything including mail for 2 hours. Calendar process is used by facebook sync and twitter sync so only way to disable it is to stop your syncs but I dont wanna loose my facebook picture sync so cant do that. Hope HTC improve this in the froyo update.
I used autostarts to disable some apps from starting and its been on for 50 mins so far after full charge and im down to 97% which aint too bad but I think juice defenders night mode helps that. Before autostarts I lost 1% every 5 mins. So try that guys.
It's me again, back to report my unsuccessful phone experience today
Well, apparently factory reset and trimming down the number of apps I use did nothing to prolong my phone's life. 10:00 to 18:00, it was down to 28% and losing 1% every 10 minutes, worse when screen is on. Basically, what I figured out is that it's not some rogue app installed on my device that has been triggering this bad lifespan. I also purchased SeePU++ and was really dishearted to see 60-70% CPU when the Calendar Sync process works, and it works almost constantly no matter I've set 2-4 hours frequency to Facebook and Twitter, and I'm using Exchange for Calendars where it has two frequencies set to 2 and 4 hours peak/offpeak times.
Listening to Music isn't good as well. Using DoubleTwist android app, phone remains warm while listening. Not good. Is the phone completely awake while listening to music even if the screen is off?
I've made the following changes for tomorrow, and I'll report again:
* I turned off Wireless Network Location. Not sure whether I'd live well without it, apparently my Latitude will suffer greatly and Tasker won't be able to use its Location triggers (GPS Fix triggers kill the battery in less than 2 hours), so will other apps that use rough estimation, especially if indoors.
* I revised my UnlimitedJuice. My current profile is:
** Timeout: N/A
** Schedule: Keep APN/WIFI disabled (I removed timed schedules as I suspect it kept my device from prolonged sleep)
** Night: Keep APN/WiFi disabled 0-7am (Use it just for the silent mode, otherwise it's probably charging)
** Traffic: N/A (I used to use Traffic to keep connections alive, but decided not to due to prolonged Calendar sync)
** Peak: N/A (obviously!)
** Charger: Leave APN/WiFi enabled while charging (obviously!)
** Screen: Leave APN/WiFi enabled while screen unlocked (obviously, again!)
If anyone is familiar with UltimateJuice, please let me know whether this sounds okay?
I think a culpit was the Schedule setting, as it must have kept my device constantly out of sleep to check my email. Not that I don't want that but until I stick a Mugen 3200 MAh battery in this device, I am wary against it not sleeping well. I also turned off Traffic as Calendar Sync has the stupid tendency to restart itself despite it is not expected to based on user-set frequency. No idea how to control this, no bugfix even estimated.
I think HTC doesn't really care about the life of their phones once they sold them to us. I am also very unpleased to find out how useless those fast 1 Ghz processors are when paired with old battery tech. I am looking at HTC Wildfire and it's 30-50% better battery life with somewhat of an envy. The only company that seems to bother to do something with batteries today is Apple. I won't draw conclusions especially under affect.
I have a question to all ROM-familiar users who have gone 2.2, does JIT improve battery life (through making code run faster, maybe using less CPU resources)?

2.2 ROMs on my Desire make my battery last even less. I lost 1% every 5 mins on any 2.2 ROM.
I get the syncing going on every time I switch screen on. no matter what I have set in the settings. I got 20% overnight between midnite and 9am while Juice Defender was on night mode.
This is very discouraging, Nekromantik. Seems like I shouldn't be as excited about the upcoming August 2.2 update, now. I don't trust HTC to resolve this problem given how every single new device is plagued (Desire/Incredible/EVO) and they do nothing about it.

yeah this has made me loose faith in HTC.
Battery life should be a big factor in smartphones. I should at least expect it to last 24 hours without a charge. Which is good enough for smartphones.
Just gotta add that even though my battery life is not that good, it does show that the phone does sleep as atm in the about menu it shows that the phone been on for 3 hours and been awake for 1 hour 30 mins. Which means it is sleeping but why am I still getting bad battery life all of a sudden after reflashing from Froyo ROM? I did a full wipe including a sd card wipe before I flashed Pays ROM back on. Makes no sense to me.
I'm having a very similar problem with battery life. Android System prevents my phone from going to complete sleep but strange enough - only during night when my phone is in airplane mode.
So I decided to switch off Automatic Network Time. This helped for one night and yesterday the problem reappeared again :-(
So last night I turned off location as well services and again it seems OK for now.
During the day my battery life is OK. I guess I could keep the phone turned on during night as well (as a bypass) but this is not how a smartphone of 21st century should work.
This is a mid-day report but I think I might have finally figured it out. And it's the most ironic solution ever!
I pulled the phone off the charger in 10:00, by 11:00 I was already at 88-86% and rapidly decreasing with only minor phone call activity. Then I turned off JuiceDefender/UltimateJuice and kept using the phone for contact list adding, single profile photo shot with camera, many long calls. Now it is 14:35 and my battery is at 69% - incredibly resistant compared to what I've had by that hour with less phone activity. Also, my phone seems to sleep much longer and more often than before when I used UltimateJuice.
It appears to me now that the reason the phone has been dying on me is JuiceDefender/UltimateJuice. Apparently the latest versions destroy the battery rather than save it!! I told you it's an ironic...
I will be reporting by 19:00 with the phone's actual lifespan over the course of the day but looks like I'll have a winner today.

interesting.
I swear juice defender helped me during the night but I could always switch apn off during sleep. I lost 12% overnight but once I was awake I lost 6% in 45 mins while it was on standby.
It is 21:10 as I type and my battery shows 24% after moderate use day. My phone sleeps more (2 hours use for 11 hours day cycle) and it loses around 1-2% per hour when asleep.
The culpit is definitely UltimateJuice and I am at complete loss how an app meant to save battery can destroy battery.
Also, I noticed that waking my phone when UltimateJuice is not running does not trigger an annoying Calendar Sync (Sync All icon remains non-animated).
I decided to switch off mobile internet and only switch it back on when I wanted to surf/lurk on here/check mail etc. Uninstalled juicedefender but kept plotter. The amount of difference doing those things has been exponential. Before, my battery was dead in about 8 hours use. now it will last 17+. Even use it for music which I wouldn't risk when internet was always on.
For me it is the Location services and Network time that need to be switched off.
As I said I only get battery problems during night in airplane mode so I tested several settings and it seems that both Network time and Location services need to be switched off so they stop trying to update themselves.
Although I would imagine that once you switch your GSM module off that should be enough to also stop Network time and Location... Apparently my assumptions are dead wrong
I think its time to start a worldwide petition to HTC if they please could fix the problems with the battery. I cannot use my phone to call when I am not near a power source. After 15 hours the battery is down to 20% ..its so frustrating.
HTC know there are problems (perhaps the read some forums) and dont do anything about it. Thats not customer friendly.
I think Apple is more serious on that point and investigates every single way to save battery life.
Whats the use of a phone (mine is pretty basic with no specials programs on it) that could not last 1 day?
I think buyers must give a signal to HTC to take these sort of problems serious.
This just started a couple of days ago and I honestly dont know why it started. I noticed that my battery started to drain A LOT. Discovered that the Gmail sync was in continuous sync for long stretches at a time. Like a half hour of syncing then off for two minutes then on again for 20-30 minutes then off again, this goes on till 3 hours later my battery is down to 51 percent. But this keeps going till the battery is dead. I have turned off many of the play store and google.play syncs to just keep the email on and it still does the same thing. Gmail is the second most battery user right below Screen. But screen gets turned off and the Gmail stays on even when the screen is off. I have to turn Gmail off manually and finally the "sync" circle on my notifications tab disappears. Any one has any ideas? Thanks.
EDIT: Fixed. Read on another forum to clear the cache in the Gmail app in settings. That is it and it worked. Aaaaargh! Im glad it worked but its so frustrating when it is soooooo simple.
Hello all,
My battery is getting crushed by Email sync, 22% this morning, CPU wake time 2hrs on 5hrs battery time. I set it to push two accounts. I've got to have it for work.
I guess the T-Mobile Edge has had this problem. Anyone here that can offer a solution?
I had the same problem on a Note 3. When I unchecked the contacts sync option the problem dissappeared.
I use exchange for work and sync is set to 1 hour. I dont seem to have a problem. I havent charged my phone all day and still around 50% battery left (13 hours or so).
The problem is when you set it to Auto(push).
I set it to sync every 2hrs and my battery is waaayyyy better now. I don't like that I have to manually check emails for work though, I can't let messages sit for two hours with no reply during the day. I read after I posted that Samsung is allegedly aware of the issue and is hopefully fixing it.
I'm currently on stock MM vs985 and am curious to know a little more about how Doze is supposed to work by default. I get the concept, some apps will spam you with notifications and drain your battery in the process, so those are kind of put on hold while others are "priority" notifications and get delivered immediately. The user also has the option to give specific exclusions from Doze so the notifications will get delivered immediately as they have in the past. At least this is my understanding of things.
The reason I ask is because Gmail notifications aren't quite right. When I'm actively using my phone in the morning, they seem to come in normally and Doze doesn't seem to be active (which is expected). Then when I go to work Doze will kick in and I notice I don't get as many Gmail notifications, which is fine. However on breaks or over lunch, I actively use my phone again. At this point I would expect Doze to no longer be active and I would think the notifications that Doze delayed would start showing up (granted maybe after some delay, but at some point over an hour lunch break). Today after work I didn't have any Gmail notifications so I opened Gmail, it showed the most recent email as one from around 11:00, I swiped down to refresh, and suddenly five more emails showed up (11:38, 12:01, 1:01, 2:59, and 5:40). With that many emails at those different times, I would have thought notifications would have came in at some point without me manually refreshing my emails.
I realize I could exclude Gmail from Doze, but I don't really need the notifications immediately and I would like to get the battery saving benefits of Doze, I just don't get what it's doing or why. I would assume Doze would DELAY notifications until later so they can be processed as one group/batch, not STOP them completely. Is this correct, is there possibly a setting or something I should be looking at?

don't want to sound stupid but do you have greenify installed? Do you have sync turned on?
No greenify or any other non-stock battery saving apps, and yes sync is on. Lunch break and no notifications but I bet when I manually refresh in gmail later I'll have emails that should be coming in now :/
49 hours estimated time remaining for my battery, so it's definitely saving battery, but I'd kind of like notifications when I am using my phone :/
Break time at work, still no gmail notifications. One thing that I realized was that I did have a notification from Facebook just now. Does this indicate that either the Facebook notification has bypassed Doze (made itself priority) or gmail notifications specifically are being blocked by Doze?
Also, when I woke up this morning I did have gmail notifications waiting for me, so that means the normal sync process is capable of working correctly. I had my phone on the charger overnight, so Doze wouldn't have been active (which explains why the notification came through).
About 45 minutes ago I finally got gmail notifications for 6 new emails I got throughout the day. Not sure if it's relevant but this would have been about 10 minutes after I got home where I would have been back on wifi since this morning. I also noticed I have Facebook notifications, and the time on the notification is about two and a half hours ago, so I don't know why the gmail notifications wouldn't have came through at that time as well.
So with all of the knowledge and skills around here, no one has quite fully figured out the stock Doze functionality?
FWIW I don't seem to have this same issue on custom ROMs, at least not on Resurrection Remix.

Got my pixel a few days ago. Not receiving notifications in time drives me nuts. So usually gmail notifications appear on screen as soon as I unlock and wait or after about 15-30 minutes after I received an email. Sometimes longer for whatsapp No battery saver, no adaptive battery, optimizations are off for gmail. Also tried all permutations of those settings. Tried factory reset and Q up and downgrade. Nothing seems to work. Happens on wifi and cellular. Devices isn't rooted.

Since you are fairly new here in terms of posts, why not update your profile with at least your location and carrier. We don't need your exact GPS coordinates, but knowing what city/country you live in and which carrier you are using can be very helpful in diagnosing your problem. Others in your area may also chime in with their experiences if they see you are close by. If you are on an MVNO, then state exactly which one. To start with, how many APN's do you have for your carrier and have you tested any other than the default? Verify your APN settings with your carrier's web site, and fill in any that are blank or wrong. Was your SIM from your last phone, or did you get a new SIM from your carrier provisioned for your Pixel? You should not have to tweak your phone at all for the issues you are describing. Just some thoughts. Cheers.

I have the same issues. I just ordered mine from Google, unlocked.
Sim from Sprint, updated PRL. Doesn't matter.
Sometimes I don't get notifications from my "battery charged" app.
It is frustrating. I don't know the fix, and I haven't mentioned it here either.
What seems to work so far is disabling deep/light idle via adb:
$ adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
Deep idle mode disabled
Light idle mode disabled

This will be lost on reboot
scrap that, it's not working either way. Don't know what to do, it's unusable that way. Kinda need fast notifications for business
I have the same problem, but, only with certain apps. I'm on Verizon in St Louis, USA. I'm currently on Q beta, but, this happened on Pie at least since the start of this year.
Messages does this the worst. I'll get the message on the web app sometimes a couple minutes before it pops up on my phone. A REALLY funny one, when connected to my SUV via Bluetooth, a message will popup on its screen several seconds, sometimes more before it does on my phone. So, to me it seems like the phone is getting them right away, but doesn't send the notification immediately?
Now, Outlook on my phone I get them before they show on my work computer. So, thankfully I'm not getting delayed work emails, that could be bad considering I'm a sys admin.
I've noticed with some others, like Facebook or whatever, that if I wake up my phone, unlock it, or another notification comes in, all of a sudden I'll get some for those if there are any. In checking FB it's definitely a late notification.
I just turned off adaptive battery yesterday for other reasons, that hasn't helped. I wonder if it's one of the battery settings though that are somehow affecting it. Like the optimization for example. I don't know. It's REALLY annoying though. This plus the Bluetooth problems that Google can't seem to fix (but no other phone that I know about has these problems), I'm really starting to get pushed away here. If it weren't for day one updates, the camera, and things like that, I'd consider jumping ship...
If anyone figures this out, let me know! I'll keep digging too.

Yeah... that was the first thing I've tried. Haven't found any solution still. Basically gmail notifications don't work. Old mails will stay as unread for half-an hour and vice versa. Pretty useless

I noticed this for the first week after a clean flash then went back to normal
Might have something to do with the new battery management
So, I've been paying more attention to this, and, I've noticed something. Every time a notification doesn't come through, even though it pops up on my watch or my car, the tap to wake doesn't work. I wonder if the screen just isn't waking up for some reason? I'm not sure how that's controlled, so I don't know how one would fix it though.
Just wondering if anyone has figured this out. It is beyond ridiculous to have to wake up my phone in order for for a notification to come though. I am noticing this mostly with Gvoice and Gmail. My most frequently used and important apps. Connected to wifi 99% of the time as coverage is terrible in my area. All battery optimization is turned off. Also, it is intermittent. Most times things come through fine. For example. I woke up in the middle of the night and looked at my phone and I Gvoice message went off as soon as I woke it up. In this case the message was coincidentally sent right then, but that is the same behavior I have been experiencing when a message is delayed. Phone and watch are quiet, wake phone, suddenly my watch and phone go off with one or more notifications from one or more apps.
The one thing I have noticed is that push notifications get effed up for certain apps and I have to turn off app notifications, fully close app/clear cache, re-enable notifications and turn the app back on/reboot.
