Hi
Had a problem with my Desire over the last few days. From full charge the phone is dead in about 15 hours, most of the discharge seems to happen in the last 6-7 hours i.e charge was full before I went to sleep last night and this morning it has 5% left.
Now I haven't recently installed any new apps, phone hasn't really been used and is on standby most of the time, I don't have any e-mail or other sync's going on. Only thing running all the time is Bluetooth, but up till a few days ago phone was holding charge for 2-3 days. Now as said it dies overnight.
Any thoughts?

Try to recalibrate your battery cache.
or
Check what has/have consumed or caused the drain (apps, syncs, OC, weak signals, settings, etc.).
Try other ROM and/or other kernel.
or
your battery or your Desire has just given up its live.

Which ROM do you use?
It could also be a hardware malfunction. I had the same problem with huge rises of battery temperature. I took my phone for warranty repair. They changed the motherboard. Now it works flawlessly.
I am using Redux 1.2 and can get two days of moderate use.
Other thing that could cause it is Rom. With Stock ROM the battery usually drains faster. Also check how many Widgets you're running and if you have any GPS or Bluetooth on.
Check if you have 'best wifi performance' ticked in Settings>wireless & networks>wifi settings>menu>advanced
I have noticed it rapidly drains the battery.
i think mines heading that way also
my battery has only been lasting me about 17 hours since i first bought it then again i do use it alot music, games, surfing on wi-fi and so on. but i still try to conserve it. leedroid chrgermod works well for me but i thought 2 days was godly battery life but apparently it isn't
Hello friends,
I bought a motorola defy yesterday.It is a September 2011 built and came with 2.2.2 froyo. I charged the battery yesterday to 100% used it around 1.5 hrs with Wifi and 3g which brought it to 70%. I then left the phone for about 11 hours and after which the battery was completely discharged and I had to charge it first to switch it on.
Even now after charging completely , it went from 100% to 90% in 17 mins with 8 minutes of mild usage.
Its currents stats are 90% battery 34 minutes since unplugged with
Mobile Standby - 45 %
Phone Idle - 29%
Display - 19%
Android System - 4%
Wi-fi- 2%
com.motorola.home - 2%
please help , what should I do, should I call for a replacement ?
Turn off automatic sync. Turn down screen brightness. Buy a extended battery, which is almost a must with android phones these days.
The first couple of charge - discharge cycles should be ignored. It should start functioning better after that.
If the battery discharge times you mentioned persist, then it's not normal. I usually got 2 days of charge with normal usage when on froyo.
It might be an app which is hogging power. Can you
1. Look at battery usage. In the settings menu and see if any app is drawing excess cpu?
2. Download spare parts from the market and check battery usage?
We may then have some info to help you out.

my device too is plagued with battery issue, 1 day is the max I get with all wifi off/data off/screen auto options. No task killers either.... bought this on aug 2011, still have not been able to to take time out to visit service center.
In my defy battery drop very quickly from 100% to 90%, but rest is all good then. I dont know why too... I tend to discarge battery till shutdow then charge till full, it help.
so i visited the service centre, told them about the battery running on one day w/o gps/data/wifi.
They said they would replace the battery. As it was not in their stock, asked me to check in 3/4 days.
fingers crossed, the new one is not faulty as the current one.
I charged my HTC ONE X to 100%, took it out of the charger and I have now been 1h 37m 46s on battery, and it ALREADY has drained to 70% !!!
what my phone uses or so it says :
screen 78%
cell standby 6%
android OS 5%
android system 4%
phone idle 4%
whatsapp 3%
what does it mean 78% screen? that my screen is the big killer for my drain? because that would make non sense since I have not had it on that much..and still.....30% in 1.3hours? that's just insanely bad!
stock rom from Holland btw...didn't change a single thing to my phone since I do not know how....
any input on why it drains so rapidly?
thanks!
I would post a screenshot but I don't have ''root'' access'' or something lol sorry!

firstly you can take a screenshot by pressing power button and home button at
the same time..
how old is the phone?
you are ok bro. for me it drained 17% with 15 minutes screen on time.
this is one big lol.
i am struggling to get 7 hours battery life
If you don't mind the effects on warranty, there are some system mods things that can be done to improve battery life...
Otherwise try turning off extra wireless services, and lowering the brightness on your screen.
I was getting 8-9 hours outa my battery, since rooted and flashed leedroid's rom and I got 26 hours with 30% to go....
what a difference.....
Basically in android, especially LCD screens, you can expect under 3 hours of continual screen use in daily activities. Often way under.
I've gone through a Motorola Milestone, Samsung Galaxy S and Nexus S, HTC Sensation and now One X. None of them broke the three hour mark for screen on time.
Standby and other use, sure, you can push a day or so but the screen is the major killer. Even with 1900mAh after-market batteries for the Sensation I was just about pushing 2.x hours. Screen usually on auto, but often inside buildings.
Counter to what may seem obvious is that if you have WiFi available - use it. It uses less power than the data connection on cellular networks and can improve standby time by a fair bit. Assuming you use push notifications and the like.

is rooting hard? i searched it on the internet but the only thing i found was some half-assed english site trying to explain what to do...couldn't follow it, and also it didn't work :/
I don't know all the terms etc they use so that makes it quite a fair bit harder for me!
Two Questions:
- What are your Brightness settings?
(Settings - Display & gestures - Brightness)
- Do you have Wifi/3G constantly on?
(Settings - Wireless & networks: is Wi-Fi and/or Mobile network: ON?)
How to improve Battery drain:
- Go to: Settings - Display & gestures - Brightness:
and untick: Automatic brightness
with your finger slide the brightness level to much lower than it is now (I have it at only 1/4)
confirm with: OK
- Whenever you do not need to be online (internet), make sure to switch off Wi-Fi and Mobile network
- Switch off notifications for e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Email (you need to open each app and in the Menu have to untick notifications)
From personal experience, I can tell you that having internet on constantly aka WhatsApp sending notifications for each chat message, Facebook and Email sending notifications, ... costs you a lot of battery
Brightness at full level also drains battery badly.
- Following above-mentioned tips, you will get a standby time on the HTC One X of up to 2 full days.
Hope I could help a bit.

You need to get on leedroid Currently on 71% battery also, but slight difference in how i got there:
16hrs standby
half hour screen on (auto brightness)
5 mins calls,
3g/wifi/locations always on.
Very light usage day for me, but it's very different results to yours
M.
edited for clarity/typos
who would you have your phone on standby for 16hours....I used it more than half an hour a day (half hour screen on as you said) so that says nothing for me lol
and my screen has low brightness but that doesn't really seem to effect it THAT much, but yesn i do have 3d on constantly aswel as fb whatsapp etc...but I do need to be in contact with people so I guess there nothing to fix :/ except maybe a ligh rom but i have no idea how that works haha, might search youtube
I have the same problem but i'm actually using the phone.
As a heavy user (and i mean heavy user) i've yet to get more than 3 hours on screen time with this. once i used it for only 2hours 20 mins and the battery was dead. I'm rooted running leedroid and the battery life is very bad for onscreen time.
Anyone else getting these figures.
hi guys..
i am on stock rom updated to latest but having problems with my battery
take a look at the screenshot. i currently have 30% battery.
as you can see from almost 11 hours of my latest charge 9hours and 20 mins
my phone was at deep sleep.(only 1hour and 40 mins of light usage)
when its locked it shows excelent battery (1% per hour) but after an hour passes and even if i just unlock it and browse a bit my phone ,i lose 5-6% .
my phone is 4days old only.
maybe the problem is just temporary?
thnx in advance for any help.
I'm using an App called 'Screen Adjuster', in which you can set the screen brightness (say 50%), and then auto adjust brightness within the selected range (50% range).
You can adjust the brightness anytime, I found it is very handy because the original auto brightness is simply too bright.
One drawback is that you can click to install 3rd party apk with this App running, don't know why, but just for your reference.
This is what i get.
With surfing a little bit gaming and chatting.
I bought G Pro day before yesterday. The device is amazing and i love it but i have got a small problem. First day i charged battery to 100% and i got a day usage with 25% of brightness set with screen on time for about a little less than 4 hours which is amazing. Yesterday i had to charge phone twice because the battery depleted within 2 hours on screen time and moderate usage like calls n text (no gaming). Today morning 80% power was left of second charge. I went to college and and did not use the phone much but battery got completely depleted within 1 hour of screen on time at 50% brightness. When i came home back i charged the phone to 100%, when i disconnected charger from phone the charge dropped immediately to 98%. After 3 mins it fell to 93% and now is depleting fast. there is no apps running in background or anything and no apps showing up in battery stats that may be depleting battery. Any solutions to this? can it be faulty battery? Plz Help!!!
Edited: viber or whatsapp was causing this battery drain. I rooted my phone n installed greenify. Hibernating all user apps fixed the battery drain. If anyone has battery drain issue may try this solution.
I was on root 4.1.2 and I removed it to upgrade to 4.3
Usually I drain my battery to 10% or so and then turn off my phone to charge it to full at least once a month. This time around it was different, the moment I plug in the charger the battery charge indicator jumps to 50% or so.
I unplugged it and turned on my phone and the % on the battery was 50%.
What was also weird was that the battery lasted as would at 50%
and it has been like that ever since as long as I charge my phone when turned off.
Charging with phone on isn't a problem.

reroot your phone and use battery calibrator from play store
