Is it normal to have 39% battery left with normal use after 8 hours 30 mins?
Running Opendesire 4.0 and newest radio
Just asking becasue i think it's running low fast..
OJ haven't died...
your lucky,
my battery is empty after 7 hours.
desire's battery is terrible. I couldn't manage to get 5h of using on it.
I am running the stock htc sense 2.2 rom, and my battery with moderate to heavy use would hold out for 24 hours. Something is badly wrong if you are getting less than 12. It was pretty much the same for me on 2.1 too. Getting 38+ hours now I'm using tasker.
Custom roms are supposed to be more efficient too. Have you looked to see what is using the power? A rouge app perhaps?

I wrote this post the other day and just to update it i ended up getting 60 hours on one full charge which is pretty amazing. Some of the other posters had a go at me about turning mobile internet off and wifi off but who cares i got 60 HOURS!!!!
Hi Everyone,
I thought id share the amazing battery life im having, ive had it going for 48 hours so far and still got 45% of my battery still left, ill tell you all my set up and i wish you can get the same.
Installed LeeDroids rom (1.9a) which is absolutely amazing i must say, i love it.
Got the new radio 32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2.
SetCPU running and have the normal standby on the phone at 642mhz and 245mhz when the screen is off.
I also have a task killer on set to kill most apps when the screen turns off and i have read about androids memory management but it makes me feel better when i run it and i personally think it helps.
Finally, and possibly the most important is an app called AutoKiller that interacts with androids internal memory management system and i have that set to ultimate.
I think thats it, and i have been using the phone averagely, and have turned off wifi and mobile internet and only use it when i need it.
Good luck everyone, hope this is helpful in someway.
I used to get 6 to 12 hours after I recovered my phone from being usb bricked. I'd missed a vital part of the recovery procedure! Now I get over 24 hours with heavy usage. I'm also using Setcpu.

Sorry bad English. I have rooted Desire + DeFrost and battery life is about 10-12 hour.
Chances are that anyone who is getting really bad battery life has a rogue app installed.
FWIW, I installed the Sky News app yesterday, and found, via Spare Parts, that it was stopping the phone from sleeping and creaming my battery life. I installed it, and things went back to normal.

how to find which software etc is gulping the most battery?
There are two ways of doing this. The quickest is to open your dialer, and dial the following; *#*#4636#*#*
This code will open up a hidden menu. Select 'battery history'.
From here you can see what aspects of your phone are using which resources from selecting from the drop-down menu. Try looking at 'partial wake usage'. This will show up any rogue apps that are doing the phone from going to sleep. In fact, check them all out.
The second way is to download an app called 'spare parts' which gives you access to this hidden menu without using the dialer.
Hope this reveals the culprit!

you are doing something very wrong if that is the case.
15h1m and i'm on 73%.
29 hours. 41%
I'm relatively new to android but my last two windows mobile based devices have had much longer battery life if I set the network mode to GSM only. Would this be the same for the desire or would it be better on WCDMA only?
GSM will only give you 2g bandwidth, but yes the battery will last longer. CDMA will give you 3g and HSDPA. I leave mine on this and get 36 hours typically.

The biggest issue with doing this is that you won't get simultaneous voice and data over the cellular network. If some tries to call you whilst your phone is syncing (and thus actively using data), the call will go straight to voicemail.

2d 18h and on 16% with mobile internet on, sync on etc. But my usage is fairly low, about 20 mins voice, 10 texts approx, 20 mins 3G web browsing and about 10 mins of gaming.
On heavy use, it will last at least 24hrs - not bad, though I use setcpu to adjust max clock speed to about 700mhz and I have not notice any difference in terms of slow down.
Also I am not using any task killers apps.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I use Timeriffic to automatically turn on airplane mode at night every night and off in the morning.

That not happen on my phone, FORTUNALLY!!! If my phone is on 2g and have the internet connection active and some tries to call me, the internet connection will stopped and i can get the call..Maybe depends on the operator? (anyway my desire is unbranded with stock froyo 2.2)

Yes - I probably should've mentioned that this is carrier dependent, but most carriers don't seem to be implement it.

Hey there,
i've had my desire for over half a year now and love it, tried several roms and know my way around the device, using recovery and other tools.
I've come to notice that recently my device seems to be using up the battery faster when it's on 3G. I have installed CurrentWidget and it shows a constant 175mA drainage as compared to <10mA when on WiFi. I have installed PingChat as IM to be able to communicate with my family for free (as opposed to sending texts or even dare i say it MMS), which works perfectly, but leaves me guessing that it keeps the connection open actively in the background, leading to battery issues on 3G.
The thing is, if i switch to 2G only, the battery drainage is the same as when on Wifi, next to none...
Data usage is extremely light, I've got K9 looking over 4 IMAP accounts (push mail only, though). Facebook syncs every 4hrs only, google only syncs the calender every couple hours. Left on its own, the device barely uses 1 MB a day.
Currently running MIUI 1.1.07 with 2.6.37 AOSP Kernel (but problems existed in 2.6.35 as well). Any idea as to what's going on?
Hey !
I was wondering if there was a way to disable HD quality preset when I'm on wifi.
there's an option to do so for when on a mobile network, but not for wifi, so I have to do it manually every time I watch a video (and I watch a lot of 'em )
otherwise the video keeps pausing every 10 sec because my home wifi isn't fast enough
could someone modify the apk so that it does this automatically ?
thanks in advance
Solution: Stop watching YouTube all day and work to pay for faster internet.

I wish
but my connection is maxed out at 2mbits, not enough to stream 720p youtube videos, doesen't matter how much I pay
me too
Im having the same problem. I wish there was an option to turn off auto hd. Its annoying to switch it off every time. On my screen I see little difference between the two other than hd wont stream without stopping. For the record saying to get faster Internet is a very asshole thing to say. Not everyone is 500m from the exchange here in Australia. And our net sux compared to the rest of the world. Until we get fiber we wont be so fast. It would be nice if youtube didn't assume all wifi networks are that fast. I'll check back if I find out what to do.
Hello,
I got an s4 mini about a month or two ago and I had been having a lot of issues. at first I couldn't send mms (noticed this day 1 with the phone) then later on my bluetooth stopped working. I rooted the phone, this is when i lost bluetooth, then about a week later i got the play store connection error. At the time i was using superbeam and apps from other sources as a work around but then adaway was telling me it couldn't reach any sources and i couldn't navigate past google on the internet. This is when I decided to just update my firmware, this solved my internet and playstore connection problem and even mms was working for the first time!(never checked about bluetooth, still using beam). But I still wanted root access for adaway so i followed this guide to install CWM and CM11.

I was successful and everything is still working well, i can make calls and texts, but for some reason my battery is draining in about half the time it was before, When i look at my locksreen on the bottom most of the time it says "emergency calls only (ROGERS)". Looking at the battery under setting cell standby is right at the top of the list usually at about 34% consumption with 69% time without a signal. So obviously this is where the battery drain is coming from, the weird part is if i go to make a call or send a text or something it picks the signal up as if it had always been there..? I have great cell coverage but the phone is pretending i don't 70% of the time.
does anyone know whats going on with my phone?
Sorry for the long story but I am just looking for some help on this confusing issue, the xd forums seems pretty friendly, please prove me right!
