Hello,
I use thebattery of another Desire, in 2 hours the battery is empty !
The phone doesn't reboot, but still hot.
Keep your desire in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Bonjour TF85,
Can you check with BetterBatteryStats and look at battery consumption? Also, what do you use your phone for mostly? It'd be useful to know what frequencies you are running it on.

Hi, I have been using Runnymede for around 2/3 weeks and I've been noticing that my battery goes down quite fast..
As a heavy 'texter' I'm glued to my phone when I'm not in School etc. the battery isn't very good. Losing percentage fast.
Simple things like watching a video makes the battery, for example when on 94 go to 89 in around 5 minutes..
Is there any way to fix this or is Runny ROM better for battery life?
Cheers,
Jon.
Yeah runnymede battery life aint the best, its the same with most sense roms. Make sure your battery is properly calibrated and i think i seen it in some post that Droidzone has a created a kernel to help battery life with the sense 3.5 roms. Maybe google droidzone and have a read at his site. Also sebs op for runnymede has links to kernels.

Just had a search into how to calibrate the battery.
I'm assuming it's the first one that tells you to:
'Hi *******, I understand your concern regarding battery life on your Nexus One device. The following steps should significantly extend the battery life on your phone. Please connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it. You need to use this sequence only once. If the issue of battery life on our phone persists, I recommend you contact our HTC accessory department directly.'
I'll try this when the phone gets fully charged.. I'll post the progress when it is
Yeah erm i usually power off the phone, fully charge then reboot, use it till it drops down bout 3%, power off and fully charge again THEN once charged fully boot into recovery and wipe battery stats then reboot and it should be calibrated.

I can't believe there are still people who consider that a calibration.
That bump charging won't do anything, and batterystats.bin gets wiped either way when indicator goes over 90 threshold. That procedure is to be performed only if you are can't stand the look of apps in your battery usage monitor under settings.

The only real calibration for Desire is that one described in theGanymedes wonderful guide. Note that calibration is never to be used to increase battery performance. That scenario is not going to happen.

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Check over in the 1.29 thread. There are reports that battery life has improved.
had the very same problems with my previous white HOX. It didnt last me half a day of moderate use, the battery life was horrible. Just listening to radio with the screen turned off and juice defender on, it drained 30% battery in 15 minutes. I returned it yesterday and got myself a new grey HOX. Hopefully this one will work properly. If you experience quite extreme battery problems you really should return it and get a new one like I did because most likely its a faulty device. It is supposed to last longer than that unless you play tegra 3 games all the time.
Did u return in to htc servuce centre??? Ie did u take a doa frm htc service centre??

Do they give DOA for bad battery life or not.

Can you just post your battery stats? On my first 3 days, I had the same problem, I even felt that my phone can't even sustain my 4hours of journey on the day. But now it's standby consumption is awesome, may be several charging cycles helped the battery to settle.
We India's has to struggle with waiting to get the latest updates. So, better you unlock the device. But before that, it was too crazy in battery drain, check with HTC service center and confirm the issue. If it was really a h/w issue return the device.

1.2.9 doesn't improve battery life. Today got 9 hours before battery died, auto brightness screen on time was 3 hours 35 mins, push Gmail, push exchange, some calls, played some games. On wifi all day.
Average battery life nothing spectacular.

First of all, is it rooted? If yes, what rom do you have? You have custom recovery?
If not try this. Charge the phone and when the green led is on power off the device and leave it to charge for another 1 hour.
No it is not rooted. The problem is that the green light never appears because it doesn't fully charge.

Will do. I have never let the battery drain completely. Do you think that can be a reason why it's not charging. Thanks

Same problem
I had the same problem with one week old VM One V. Charged to 80% and no more. Discharged (auto turned off at 10%) and it charged to 100 one time. Then charged only to 84%. Discharged again, went down to 6% before shutting down. After a couple more cycles, including unplugging after "full" charge to 84%, then replugging and getting to 100%, finally two days in a row woke up to a green light and 100% from a 20-30% level at bed time. Only issue now seems to be two widgets show different battery levels, e.g. 63% on battery monitor widget pro, 53% on Elixer pro battery widget. The icon at the top looks more like 60%.
Not rooted, waiting a while. Love the phone, wish it were dual core, but runs as well as my Droid X and much better battery life. Nice design and feel.
have you resolved your issue Relgozen??
Yes your advice was very helpful. Should I continue to charge my device only when the battery dies?
Thanks again

So now that the problem went away I was not afraid to root my phone. Now, my battery is saying it has been on 97% for four hours. It is rooted. Any help? Thanks
UPDATE:after resetting the phone about 5 times the battery indicator went back to normal. Sorry for the extra post

Hi.
I've got a strange problem on my gio. The battery is draining quite fast and when there is only one percent left it switches off. If I plug in the charger now I see, that there is more than half of the battery left. What can I do to use this battery time as well?
I already wiped battery stats and made a battery calibration but there was no change after that.

Same problem here.
I've tried some ROMs and since then, the battery is a disaster.
Charges really quick and drains even faster. I am talking about 15 min with wifi or 3g before it dies.
Help please!!

Or, if you have a custom recovery, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517044
Might be the problem... Otherwise it's dead I'm afraid...
In my opinion it could be a dead battery.
If you couldn't solve your problems with the other links, buy a new battery.
In my case that helped.

Let me guess, one of those really cheap Chinese ones with the black and white labels? Those are sometimes okay (barely) and sometimes total crap. For not much more money, try buying an Ankers brand battery.
True, cheaper batteries are often not at all what the label says and perform worse than an oem one that is 4years old, but some are good, only testing the battery will tell
You can test if its the phone/ROM/kernel/apps causing the issue by looking for drainage and wakelocks with apps like better battery stats and watchdog
So the answer could be you need another battery or you need to change something about your phone, but you will need to test to know
Ohhh gosh not enough pocket money to buy a new battery
