[Q] Battery can discharge in 3 hours - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running a desire hd on Android 2.3.5 and HTC sense 3.0. This is with gps off, blue tooth off, and mobile data on when I surf. Screen is at 40 percent. Mobile data is very slow. The battery drains quickly even when the screen is off. Is there any way to revitalize the battery? Thanks, Lisa

It might be due to too many apps running in the background. Try to grab Clean Master (or some other sort of task killer) from Play Store, and see if it helps.

Thanks for the tip. I run clean master and also have a new battery. Any other ideas?

Also try to set mobile to 2g to save power.

Good thought. I run on H+. But the signal is intermittent. Maybe this pulls more power. Even with the mobile data off the battery drains quickly.

Battery life just terrible, need since help plz!!

As title says guys, I don't no why but my battery life is just really bad since I moved from stock 2.1 Rom to custom ROMs :-(
Is it my phone? I can't work pig wot it is. I checked the battery usage #*#*4636*#*#) and it seems the Android system is using A LOT of it. I tried charging with phone off, clearing battery stats, not overcharging, but just can't resolve this issue.
Also, I have sync set to update manually and have mobile internet off always, only on wen needed. Same with WiFi. Screen is on auto and time off screen lock set to 30 seconds
I am using OpenDesire sense Rom
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks

I could feel WiFi siginal of 2.2 is much better that stock 2.1,
I suppose that the better performance will bring the fast battery drain,
if your custom ROM support WiFi N mode,
that really makes your battery life short that before.
I have the same problem and same settings as you. I read on other forum that people who updated to official 2.2 have even better battery life.
I cant even squeze 20 hours out of my battery :/
You guys should always post what ROMs you are using...
Opendesire 3.3, its the same with defrost.
i also had really bad battery life on those 2 roms
even doing nothing the phone would just keep dropping
go to official froyo 2.2
neophye roms for me have amazing battery life = 48 hrs..

Check if the phone goes to sleep correctly. Spareparts > battery usage: other usage, since last unplugged.
I had the same problem, until I found out that the phone was not going to sleep. (running and screen on percentages were way off. Almost 100% running and a lot less for screen on.
update to the last radio
I found that after forcing everything to install to SD card my battery life plummeted. There were apps/widgets that should have stayed on the phone. Once I moved these back, battery life was back to normal.
I use Systempanel to see the battery drain graph and could see a pattern to it.
Same issue here, Will try Neophyte tonight
Using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741663, and it's fantastic! However batt life on .08 and .20 radio is a shocker. I watched a 1 min trailer on youtube, in and out and I lost 4% battery. Before with OpenDesire I'd be shocked if the battery percentage even twitched slightly.

I use Defrost 1.5a and I just use about 2% every hour when the phone is sleeping, and that's with auto sync and mobile data enabled. (disabled it's 1%/hour)
Always underclock to the lowest mhz when the screen is off using SetCPU and when you do use your phone make sure the brightness isn't too high.
I could make a whole list of tips, but I'm sure you'll find more than enough of those on the net.

(using Cyanogenmod 6)
When your screen is off, your phone should automatically go to sleep. Sometimes widgets or apps keep this from happening (like the music player), making it use battery as if you are constantly working on it.
How I resolved this issue was to find out what app or widget caused this. I ended up starting from a fresh reset, installing first all apps I really use (calendar/message widgets, powerstrip etc.)
I tested by installing an app, rebooting (or sometimes not), check the running time of the phone, turning screen off, and check again in 5 minutes. The phone should go to sleep in about 30 - 40 seconds. I am telling you this, because most apps causing this are widgets/apps running constantly.
However, I found in spareparts also that 'settings' was taking alot of usage time in usage statistics. A simple reboot did the trick from here on. But I am guessing I had installed something which made some app not close properly..
Maybe it is better to have a task manager/killer for these situations.
Running and Screen On percentages should not have too much of a difference if your testing and not using the phone while screen is off (music, bg stuff)
You could try juicedefender, it helps improve battery life by disabling unneeded connections while the phone is not in use

Higher then normal power usage

is there a way to track whats using power? sometimes my power usage is very high even if I'm not doing anything and have most everything turned off

I actually tried that - but it doesn't really show me power usage, just mem and cpu. Most everything was at zero cpu. The one or two items using cpu i killed and the power usage was still coming up high. Normally the phone sits at around 140mA, but a few times now i've seen it at near 400mA. It wasn't showing an active data connection, and i had BT, WiFi, GPS and 4g all turned off.

Juice Defender

I'm installing this as a last resort before sending my phone back. After hard reset and everything, battery is still a major drain.
For those that are using it, how well does it work? Which settings are you using?
I've only the free version for now but would consider upgrading if it does help?
Also, how do you prevent meebo from disconnecting when the screen turns off? Is that an option on the free version?

About Juice Defender, for me it worked with ~1.6x batterylife.
About Meebo: get Trillian, they made it for free this week. You stay connected even if your phone is off(for max of 1 day, changeable in settings) and you'll receive al the messages which came while your online the enxt time you login again. You can manage all your accounts on the PC with the regular Trillian program and then login on your phone with your Trillian account and all the accounts will be there. It is a real nice app with very low battery consumption.
The free version is very limited. I use the ultimate version and I'm rather happy with it. I don't want to schedule traffic when my phone is idle, but that would be a massive battery saver.
Yes, you can set different settings for each app in the paid versions. You can set a trigger that makes sure your internet is always on when meego is running, even when your screen is off.
But overall, I have no problem to use my phone for more than 12 hours on battery with moderate usage. Maybe you should send your device back anyway.
I had terrible battery drain as well but ive managed to resolve this. have you tried:
1. Deleting all social hub accounts?
2. Deleting your mail account if you use the stock mail app?
3. Updated to latest official firmware?
I was experiencing 10% idle drain per hour. Now i'm at 1-2%. Battery life is a huge improvement compared to my old desire. Dont guve up on this phone.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
In my experience standard battery drain per hour should be
1~2% screen off / data off
3~5% screen off / data on
12~15% screen on / data off
18~20% screen on / data on
WiFi uses less battery than 3g but as you can see display is main problem...

Sounds like you need to clear your battery history, leave it over night, then check what's been using it overnight to me.
I have 5-10% drop at most overnight (7 hours or so).

So after using Juice defender ultimate for a couple weeks now, with the customizable apps configuration, I see no improvement in battery life.
I lost 50% charge overnight with just push email on (stock gmail app), only synching email and contacts.
For those with this app, what configurations are you using to improve the battery?

I have it setup to turn the data, and wifi off while the screen is off.
Night mode is enabled, from 11:30, to 7:00am
I also have it only allow wifi via location, work or home.
It eats 1-2% while in standby per hour.
and about 3-4% overnight.
i tried juice defender ultimate and it made no difference. I deleted it just because its another app working in the background...
I found it to be very effective when set up correctly. Lose less than 1% an hour at idle.

Mine does that (1-2% per hour at idle) without Juicedefender and push email/facebook active. The problem with JD is also that when set to switch off Wifi and data in the background when the phone is idle, it doesn't always switch them back on after the phone awakens, resulting in many pain in the ass moments.
I bought it 6 months ago and never use it any more.

Pretty standard really wifi and mobile data enabled (ultimate version), autosync on ping, 15 minute scheduled check for 30s. I don't have it turn off data at night because the phone is usually plugged in and have data enabled when the screen is on. It also manages the wifi locations so usually it only connects to wifi.

Is something wrong with my Xperia Play R800x?

Ok well let me just start off by saying. I LOVE this forum and the helpful and friendly people. Lemme give ya a run down on what I'm rockin' on this marvelous piece of technology.
Bootloader Unlocked - Check
Root - Check
R800x Timescape UK Firmware ROM - Check
V6 Supercharger - Check (Could use help making it start on boot.)
Better Battery Stats - Check (Could also use some more help since I'm a noob XD. More below!)
Battery Life - QUESTIONABLE
And here lies my problem here. Ever since I switched to the UK Firmware from Verizon's I've noticed the phones true potential and love the UK Firmware. However what is up with the terrible battery life? I've tried everything... It seems to DRAIN 1% every 5 minutes when I'm at school!!
BetterBatteryStats talks about wakelocks. I get this one sometimes called UID and have no idea what it is, and have looked for a solution but found never in ACTUAL terms I could understand. Also there's a blue bar and a red bar on the stats for those. Can someone please tell me the difference between them?
I've deleted Juice Defender as some people said it actually DRAINS your battery more. I've also heard this phone lasts sometimes 3-4 days on a FULL CHARGE?! I'd like that please! :O
Well when I'm at school I put my phones Brightness to 30%, Vibrate, and off WiFi.
I listen to Music and that seems to drain the battery ALOT more than I think it should.
Also, when playing Asphalt 6 HD, I was at 57% battery, I played for maybe under 10 minutes and had 44% LEFT!!! That's TERRIBLE!
Can someone please tell me how to make my battery last like others have it?
I also have 2X Battery installed but disabled and only showing my battery % on my taskbar up top.
Thanks again in advance for your answers and I hope I have provided enough info. THANKS!

I do use it during school. Sometimes as a Calculator, to text my family or if they have to call me in case of emergencies. I also game on it at lunch or listen to music when on a free period so...
And I do kill tasks all the time. It seems to just open themselves back up. Also I played Dead Space last night with 100% charge for maybe about an hour or 2 and the damn battery drained down to 55%!!!
I was on WiFi as well...

You honestly can't expect a game such as that to run on this phone and merely sip at the battery's juice. The percentage remaining when coming out of an intensive task, such as watching video or playing a game, isn't entirely accurate. Check the battery again after a few minutes of idle time, and it should be a little higher than it was before.
I use an app called Battery Defender. It's very easy to set up, and the main option is to kill the 3G data while the screen is off. You're still able to receive calls and texts and such, but the data is off, since you're not using it. That saves a lot of battery for me. You can also set it on a timed profile, where it shuts off all network connectivity during a set time.

Thanks I'll give that app a try.
Also I just feel I'm being mis-leaded by others then. Because I read on the android Forums people play games from 1-2 hours, stop, go to the store or mall for like 5 hours, come home, play again for another hour, and sleep and wake up with it at 7% charge or something.
Are you saying ti's normal for my battery to suck that much juice on Dead Space?
Dead Space is one of the most graphics intensive games you'll get to see in this phone. It's not Cut the Rope...
Well.. despite my other questions is anyone able to answer them..? ABout the battery stats app and such?
Also what would seem to be a normal rate of 1% battery loss? How many mins or hours do you think seems normal?

Did you wipe your battery stats before installing the rom? Let it drain to 0%, charge it without interruption? after that then you must let it drain fully and recharge too 100% without interruption again. This will "train" the battery. I have a battery calibration app if you'd like to use it
I would suggest you to do a fresh install. Wipe everything and start afresh. Don't restore anything and see what happens.

Make a backup of all your data, then do a fresh install. The battery calibration app is simple, charge your phone to 100% and click calibrate. Then let it die to 0% and fully charge without any disruption..it's pretty simple

Must I make a fresh install or can I do it without a fresh install?
The battery calibration has nothing to do with a full wipe and reinstall. The fresh install is simply to fix problems that you are having, that no one else has, or doesn't have in such great force.
If you're worried about losing your data, get an app called Titanium Backup. It will allow you to backup your apps and app data to your sd card, then restore them at any time you deem necessary. There is a free version, but I would definitely recommend buying the unlock key. It makes your restores faster, and enables some specific functions that are locked out of the free version. This is my third Android phone, and the app has proven its usefulness time and time again, across each of them. It's the best way to port installed apps from phone to phone, as well.

[Q] ICS Battery Drain

Hi All:
I am experiencing tons of wakeups by com.android.phone regardless of 3G or LTE which drains my battery 6%+ per hour. However, if I have wifi, the drain drops to minimal. I turned off Fast Dormancy already, Any suggestion or fix?

Which stock ICS are you running? Do you have wind kernel installed? Download and run better battery stats to see what wake locks you have. In regards to Fast Dormancy disabling it will either give you better or worse battery life. What is it? Its a tech used by the phone company to save battery power by putting the phone's radio in a low power state yet never relinquishing the data connection, so when you wake up your phone it doesn't have to spend the 3-5 sec reestablishing the data connection. The phone's software works hand in hand with this, however if your phone co in your area doesn't support it the phone's software will never let it sleep, therefore disabling fast dormancy will improve battery life. However if you have it disabled and your area supports it your data connection will never be released and therefore your phone's radio will never be shut off using battery. On top of that this is only a function of an HSPA/3G coverage area. With 2g (edge) or LTE its meaningless. Two more suggestions:
1. Power off the phone and remove the battery for 30 sec - 1 min. Then reassemble and power back on. For some reason this will fix the deep sleep suspend wake lock.
2. If you are rooted and have cwm installed, boot your phone into recovery. Create a backup. Reformat the system and data partitions. Reinstall your ROM, then go to restore/backup and select advanced restore. Select data then the backup just done. After complete reboot.
Good luck.

Unfortunately No. Battery still drains 7%+ per hour on mobile network. On wifi, it's 1%. I have turn on Fast Dormancy just for the sake of it. Maybe need to move to CM 10.1. However, I play games on the phone sometimes and enjoy the snappy response of ICS.
I've been having problems with battery drain, from 6-7% an hour to more than 15% with the latest CM RC.
Changed over to Pac Rom, seems to be a lot better for battery power so far but a bit laggy.

Unfortunately No. Battery still drains 7%+ per hour on mobile network. On wifi, it's 1%. I have turn on Fast Dormancy just for the sake of it. Maybe need to move to CM 10.1. However, I play games on the phone sometimes and enjoy the snappy response of ICS.

A couple more things to try:
Wind kernel 3.6
Disable syncing.
Make sure you are not using LG supplied weather app widget bad power hog.
If disabling Sync works but you still need to get things like email notifications try using DS battery saver from the play store.

I will try Wind 3.6 and had tried Juice Defender and DS Battery Saver, but with 4G, the phone cannot go into deep sleep. It keeps searching for network, hence the wakelocks. I doubt Wind 3.6 can resolve the issue. Anyway I can use a different com.android.phone?

Try this:
Settings
Wireless & Network: Select MORE
Select MOBILE NETWORK
Select NETWORK MODE
Select GSM/WCDMA Auto
This will turn LTE off and should fix you issue, in most instances HSPA+ (4G on AT&T) download speeds are just as fast as LTE without the power issues.

I am having screen frozen issues with Wind 3.6, so have to revert back to 3.4 The disabling of LTE does not help the com.android.phone wakelocks. To summarize, my P936 cannot go into deep sleep while on Mobile Data regardless of LTE or 3G. I turned off sync and wechat app, but leave gmail and whatsapp in the background. Any more suggestion?

In the past I had issues with the whatsapp creating wake locks. Now this goes back to last year but I stopped using that app because of those issues. Try freezing it and reboot. Also when is the last time you calibrated your battery? Just in case you don't know: charge to 100%, while still plugged in reboot into recovery and wipe battery stats, then reboot your phone and unplug. Keep your phone off the charger till the battery goes dead and the phone powers down on its own. Then charge to 100% with the phone off. Also I think I asked this before which version of v20 are you running?
