[Q] Whats the Max. Battery time (wifi ON) ?? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hiii there ; )
Used almost each n every Custom ROM... tiLL now max of 14hrx :/
Any recommendationx?
thankx

Too many x's
It's perfectly normal for wi-fi to consume that much. You won't get any better battery life than 24 hours.

like abaaaabbbb63 said, too many variables. only way we can answer that is for you to tell us what you do on wifi (browsing/streaming music/email), and how much time on you are expecting...
time on wifi will last a long time if you have good signal, not syncing anything, and screen is off
biggest consumer of battery should always be screen if you're actually using the phone, so keep brightness low if you wanna save battery.
new kernel might make a little difference, not going to double it or anything, have you tried searching for it yourself?

@ kernel ...yeah it simply effected earlier with 2.35. ones , battery SIMPLY used to die after 6 hours with same applications ON (images attached) of current scenario
Kernel 3+ for samsung galaxy ..simply increased the battery timings to 50%
with JB 4.2.2 & this Kernel 2.6.38.8 right now ; )

I suggest using battery monitor widget, it shows you exactly how much you drain your battery in all situations...so you can watch it closely.
regarding recommendations, MildWild roms in my experience are very "battery effective"

just one info; MW roms in standby consume cca 5-10mA of your battery (you can see that with the battery monitor widget) which is 0,7% to 1,2% of your battery in one hour (on my 2 year old battery, which lost cca 20% of initial capacity)...which means you can have all connectivity enabled all the time (email, whatsapp, viber, etc.), and in "clean" standby your phone can live up to 100h.
and that is the max as much as I saw, that can be achieved with old 1400mA, stock battery.

Can u post a screenshot? This is how my history looks like... You can see during standby, it consumes only 5 to 6 mA (from 10 to midnight to 12:01).... Did you calibrate your battery? How old is your battery and does it shut down on 1%-5% or more....?

Well... If battery is well calibrated, it shoud shut down at 1-5% max... Not 25.
For monitoring your battery, you can use batery monitor widget from the store, this is pic from "history".
For good calibration you can use battery calibrator nexus (for desire, yes) and follow the instructions. If your battery dies at 1-5%, you calibrated it right...

Using battery calibrator (Nexus)
Unable to calibrate b/c in "LEARN MODE" 3416 mV min. required for that.
& battery dies at 3500mV
@history....can't find that tab :/ .. even using spare parts it simply showed the stuff "attached pics in 2nd/3rd post of mine"

Well.... That could point out why you have such short battery life with any rom... Your battery is almost dead.

Battery Drain

Hi All,
When i look into (almost) all roms i see the problem with the battery drain problem.
To bad i do not have the knowledge to find out what to do.
But i think that some smart developers work together to find a solution about this battery drain problem.
So that's why i start this thread so we can discuss this

AdamG's Official Froyo HTC Sense might hold the key to this since it seems to give about 2 days battery performance with the original battery unlike any other rom.

Tested a lot of roms with froyo and sense. The roms based on 2.06 base are draining relative more then the roms based on 2.04.
Above is not scientificly tested.

I had NONE battery drain problems on any of ROMS 2.1 or 2.2, and i did try alot of them.
Maybe theres something wrong with your phone itself (battery).
But definetly try wipe battery stats in recovery.
Since 08:00 morning had WiFi on.. network Data of... and now 12:02 battery is now 90%. DId have play with config the Tasker Tool (Great app).
Tomorrow i will do the test again but then with Network Data on and WiFi off.

I've changed about 8 roms, mostly used 4, but can't say there was a huge difference between them. 2 days of normal use, 1 day of heavy use.
Possibly shadowfrost and DeFrost 2.4 had the best battery life and I had the fastest kernel installed...
I would think that - some isolated problem aside - mostly it has to do with some applications/settings

sometimes my E-Mail application is consuming most of the cpu. It keeps the cpu at max frequency. Even if i try to end the taks with the app "system panel" it wont solve the problem. I have to go into the app and make a manual sync.
i also found out that automatic brightness is using loads of battery. since i set it to static I'm experiencing almost 2 days of battery life with moderate use.
I'm on Defrost 2.1
Hello again everybody,
Yesterday whole day online by WiFi. Using phone couple of hours and my Maildroid Email was active without prevent sleep mode.
Battery was empty after almost 17hours. (+/- 5% every hour)
Today. Wifi on. Maildroid now with prevent sleep mode ON.
Have unplugged the phone 4 hours ago and battery is at 75%
Tomorrow i will test this with Network Data on.. and without prevent sleep mode of Maildroid. And day after with prevent sleep mode.
I know for sure.. the battery will drain very vast for both situations...
BUT Ill let you know
EDIT 26-07-2010: Battery was empty tonight on 1:30.
NOW I do the whole test again but now with network data on and WiFi off
Ive had the opportunity to own a Nexus One at launch and a HTC Desire...I always found Android OS to be the issue whenever i had excessive battery drain.
Ive found my issue to center around the OS 'calling home to sync' (whether 'sync' option is selected or not)Initially, the problem was resolved by deleting all my sync funtions...but that was obviously not practical........ so now I keep my GSM data connection running and I get about 2.5 days on Open Desire (non HTC Sense).
AdamG seems like the guy who knows what hes talking about - His changelogs for OpenDesire actually hint at him having done some battery drain tweaking...whatever he did, he has definitely fixed it
Cheers

I've tried so many ROMS in the past few weeks to try to solve battery drain issues. On some, I could almost see the percentage dropping as I looked at the home screen! I even bought a new battery thinking I might have killed the original.
OpenDesire does seem to be the way forward re this problem if you're intent on the HAVS kernel. OD2.3a gave me almost two days of varied use.
However, and I know this is going backwards, an earlier DeFrost - the 2.1, is brilliant for me. I'm now at two days since unplug and still at an unbelievable 45% - yes, I know, I thought it was broke as well! For now, I'm sticking with this one. Everything I want works and I don't have to carry a spare battery in my pocket when I go out.
Hope this is of some help. Don't despair. You will find the one for you.
Cheers
I don't get why everyone says they have such a issue with battery.
I get about 2.5-4 days of use with DeFrost 2.2 and have done about so since DeFrost 0.9. I've had it up around five days once.
How are you actually using your phones?
It's not a "Froyo" issue.

It's very interesting to me how are YOU using your phone?
Come on, 4 days ? When i talk about 30m to 1h each day and using a phone little bit, i have at least 30-40% down.
u mean u only drain about 25% each day? are u actually using your phone ? wifi, calls, 3g ? or u have a expensive pocket toy just to show to your friends ?

About rom choice: battery consumption

Hi to all
I would like to know, on your experience, what rom is more efficient about battery consumption.
In order to my normal use:
- 5 mail synch every 15 min
- facebook synch
- twitter synch
- about 30/45 min per day for internet browsing
- no game (max 10 min per week),
my experience is:
- Stock rom: too much!! Battery off on 12 hours
- Virtuous: too much but better than stock: batt off about 14/15 hours
- Rcmix 3d: noticeable battery drain: off about 16/18 hours
- MIUI: better battery life, at now. About 18/20 hours
I would like to know what kind of rom could I try to use for obtain a better battery consumption. The use of my phone is the same...
Actually I use MIUI also because has a mp4 video format saving (mp4 isn't on other roms that I tried), but I regret Rcmix 3d for panorama camera option.
Any suggest?
Thanks a lot to all

I'm using RCmix 3d v3.2 and I'm getting usually a little more than 30hours of battery life.
Currently it's 18h on battery - 58%.
I must say, I have autobrightness, g+ sync, fb sync, twitter sync, gmail sync... wifi + data on all the time. It's very stable and best choice for me.

i got the best battery life with EvaSense v2.3 it has great uv values,with normal use it last more than 35 hours,give it a try
black ice or cm7 try black ice, i used hydrogen for a while and that was good, paradoxx moved to black ice and battery is amazing. my current stats:
time on battery: 22h 37m
screen on: 3h 12m
call time: 1h 54m
i use internet and games and after all that im on 12% lol. i had screenies to prove it but i deleted them :S
First thing's first, you've posted in the wrong thread dude, should've posted in Q&A section.
What i would suggest is, as you have got different answers from all of us, just try out every roms on which you can have your hands on and choose the one which suits you and your battery the most. (I have tried nearly every roms on XDA because i find it hard to stick to one rom just for the battery consumption, its like sticking to just two loafs of bread in the morning to save some money when you can have bacons and eggs with beans.) Also, i carry my charger with me all the times and plug in whenever i need to (unless i am in some place without electricity or if i am travelling out very far, as far as MARS.)
Just to let you know, i am using Virtuous Unity rom at the moment, its good and stable with good battery life for me.

How to reduce battery drain while using rom?

Hi. Battery drain in sleep mode is really good. Around 0.5 % an hour. But when using 3g internet, battery drain is massive, around 3% per minute. My friend was using his iPhone with similar usage to mine, his drained from 75% to 50%, mine drained from 73% to 20%!
I have brightness on low, GPS and Bluetooth off, and I am using radio 26.13.04.19 which is one that I have found to be good and reliable. Is there anyway to reduce my drain? It's way too much right now. Thank you!
Sent from my desire hd using XDA
3% per minute while screen is off means your phone isn't going into sleep mode.
I guess there's an app that keeps your 3G modem active.

No, I think you misunderstand. 3% per minute while using my phone (ie: when screen is on). Like I said, when screen is off, drain is only 0.5% per hour.
Try to switch to EDGE, I had it too before. The drain was caused by a bad and cell tower signal. By switching to EDGE the signal went better, same as the battery drain. Only uses 3G if you're signal/reception is good(above 3 bars).
you can turn off Wifi GPS BT and of course the screen brightness .
iyou need to activate sleep mode beacuse when in this mode you almost dont have battery drain ....

Jesus. I just spent 1 minute on facebook and had 4% battery drain! Using mobile network (getting 3 bars of 3g signal). Why does android have to do this to me. I'm jealous of iphone battery life
2-3% per minute during 3g session is pretty normal ,even I am having the same drain ,I have spent months and tried all the tricks in the book (uv script ,reduce CPU speed)to reduce the drain all my efforts have gone down the drain I think we have to live up with this sort of drain...

i agree.
i've given up trying to solve my batt issues. i've got icecoldsandwich 6.1. BT,GPS and WIFI is always on. cellular data is on WCDMA preffered. under volted, under clocked and even low vibration mod. screen brightness is at 10%. still drains at 3% per min when using the data. i've got a brand new battery from HTC service centre during this time and it doesnt help. i even started to think that my charging circuit was screwed up :|
got really paranoid..
but i guess the battery drain is pretty normal given the battery capacity
There are some build.prop tweaks that you could try. Related to sleep mode and hsdpa power collapse. Look through this page and add whichever are network and battery saving related (mentioned). Look through your current /system/build.prop and only add what isn't already there. If it's already there, just change the values.

To save my battery I have started to use Tasker, this is a profile manager. For example You can set up your phone to switch On Data and sync your apps every 30 min or more, instead of have it On all the time. There is a lot of options to set up your phone. For me it is working great and it helped me to lower daily battery drain. You can find other Profile Managers on Google Shop.

That doesn't help with the 3% per minute while awake.
And switching data on every 30 minutes often means that you can forget using apps like whatsapp and viber. Most of the time people rely on messages arriving shortly after they were sent.
Image your boyfriend/girlfriend sitting outside in the car and texting you "hurry up! we need to go!!" and you get that message 30 minutes later....
And consider using Llama....it's mostly the same as tasker but free
There is an app called battery calibration that can help with battery life. It helped me
Have compared battery drain with different radios? Some radios I have tried give better signal with higher drain. The M2 one I am using now gives a nice balance but it may differ for depending on your location/reception.

[Q] Battery draining issue

Hello everyone I'm new in Android as I have just purchased One X 5 day ago.
Right now i'm using latest custom rom (ARHD 6.0.0) including ROM cleaner to clean up bloatware. But I noticed that the battery life drains quite fast unexpectedly.
Here's my regular usages starting today 8am-8pm:
-I on 2G network only.
-replied 5 sms.
-received/making calls for total 3 mins (4 times)
-listening to music with beats audio on 80% volume for 2 hrs.
-do some casual fb/internet surfing with wifi on (20mins total), wifi is off when not used.
From 8am-8pm, battery drain from 100% to 65%. Is that normal ?
Advice is greatly needed.
*1 more thing, I installed the corecontrol app to have 2 cores enabled. Could that be the reason why battery is draining fast as it is using 2 main cores and overwrite the "hidden" energy efficient fifth core of tegra 3 which is used to perform simple tasks ?
You should really look into the ARHD forum and please use the Search button.
There are a lot of threads related to batteries where I am sure you will find your answer.
35% drain in 12 hours with that usage is good.
Thanks.

Hello everyone I'm new in Android as I have just purchased One X 5 day ago.
Right now i'm using latest custom rom (ARHD 6.0.0) including ROM cleaner to clean up bloatware. But I noticed that the battery life drains quite fast unexpectedly.
Here's my regular usages starting today 8am-8pm:
-I on 2G network only.
-replied 5 sms.
-received/making calls for total 3 mins (4 times)
-listening to music with beats audio on 80% volume for 2 hrs.
-do some casual fb/internet surfing with wifi on (20mins total), wifi is off when not used.
From 8am-8pm, battery drain from 100% to 65%. Is that normal ?

just do some comparison,differ country 3G line will affect the BL too, just want know which one better.i didnt complaint my battery is bad. when u see a lot of forum member post about this , that means the battery life is one of concern of people.
so i started a thread to gather all the info from member , maybe we find someway to work out for longer the bl of our devices
It looks like you dont know anything about how 3G works and why it may affect BL. Its all about range, protocol switching, and BTS placement.
Keep in mind, this is SMARTPHONE with QUAD+1 CORES and HD display. The good battery life score with average usage is 1 DAY. with heavy usage is couple of H. If you want it to work a week without charge, get nokia E51.
Poeple need to understand that there is no such topic as bad battery life in such monsutros smartphone. Live with it or leave it.
Well I fully charged my HOX on about 20:00 and in the morning when I wake up (12:00- I'm a heavy sleeper ) , It still shows 100% of battery! That's quite outstanding, isn't it?

It is indeed but I guess that's what the companion core is meant to do.

Yeah after a few days struggling with a battery draining issue I managed to solve it and now my HOX has an amazing battery life Even though it is still facing some battery draining with the camera (Not to mention the scratched camera lens). It lasts 2-3 days with normal gaming. 5-6 days of normal usage (without gaming)

My One X only lasts a day, with 2 hours of screen on time. No matter, what I do. I don't want to root or anything, so... It's a piece of ****

Well I updated the software build to the latest. Than I do a factory reset. After that, I use my phone normally until it shows me the warning of "the battery is lowerthab 10%", I turn off my phone completely then charge it for 8 -> 12 hours then turn it on and use it normally again. Repeat those steps 3-4 times and your HOX's battery life should be fine

No, as it reached emptyness about an hour ago and it's currently charging.

You should still be able to do it whilst its on charge as it shouldn't reset the stats until its full or you unplug.
