Before we get an update (well if it will sort the problem...) I wonder if we could collect the best tricks and tips how to save battery life on Desire? Some of you have experience of apps and widgets that drain the battery fast, then we have the usual (turn of 3g, wifi, avoid white backgrounds etc).
What you think? Lets share what we found out!
- Turn off any auto-update for anything unless you really (really) need them
- Even if you really (REALLY) need auto-update, set auto-update period to longer interval (why do you want to get weather update every hour? just an example)
- Again, review your auto-update apps/widgets!!!
- Turn off GPS. Turn this on only when you are going to use sat nav app
- Turn off Wi-Fi. It is obvious, turn it on when needed and dont forget to turn off!
- Turn off Bluetooth, unless you want to use it (headphone???)
- Don't use task killer of any kind unless you really (REALLY) know what you are doing. Let Android OS take care of killing those inactive apps, Android is designed for this.
- Set your screen brightness as low as possible your eyes could use. Full brightness is really not necessary unless you want to show off to iPhone users
- Limit your home screen widgets, think if you really want to use to have "quick look". Otherwise you can just put icon shortcut, one click and there you go!
- Choose AMOLED friendly apps. Meaning, avoid any white or extreme bright UI / background colors. For example: The XDA Android app created by Tapatalk is AMOLED friendly compared to browsing via web, because it uses black color background. Find apps that you can customize the color
- Choose AMOLED friendly themes. I would replace the default HTC big clock that uses white color with other that uses black color.
That's for now
The first charge is important for the battery and your device too. The battery has to be charged long time, 12-16 hours first time to use all the chemicals it has. Some says that the polymer batteries don't need the first big charge but specialist's says it's good practise to do it with the LiPoly batteries too.
Note: it's best practise to wait until the battery reaches it's critical level (around 5%) before you start the first big charge. The first charge also calibrates your devices power meter.

Is this really really true? I hopefully will be getting a new Desire tomorrow (for exchange) and when I received my previous one, I didn't drain the battery and then charge for 12 hours. I would not mind doing it if it really improves the battery life but I've seen conflicting articles/opinions about this whole 12 hours charge thing
From HTC FAQ
http://www.htc.com/www/faqs.aspx?p_id=312&cat=80&id=127114
When I first receive my phone, do I need to charge the battery?
Your phone ships with a partially charged battery so it's suggested you charge your battery fully before first use. The battery is fully charged when the notification LED turns green.
It is recommended to charge the battery for 8 hours the first time to ensure that the battery has had time to recharge.
Note: It is recommended that you only use the charger and cable provided in the box your phone was shipped in.

Thanks for that although if I remember correctly on the Desire quick quide it says I need to charge it for 3 hours for the first time. Regardless, it insinuates that I shouldn't drain the battery before the first charge
Please try and read about how a li-ion battery works.
NiCd and NiMH need longer (and slow) initial charge(s). Because indeed the battery still needs to form. Usually 5 charges, but cheap ones reach max capacity after eg 15 charges.
This is NOT the case for li-ion batteries. They have max capacity as soon as they roll out of the factory. And they start degrading from that point.
Keeping the Desire charged longer has no use. Because as soon as the battery is full, the internal chip will cut off the charge. So you can just as well plug out your charger.
There are so many voodoo stories about batteries, even from manufacturers. Probably because each battery chemistry need different handling. Whereas li-ion batteries are actually much more easy. They don't last too long though :/
updates
Every now and then you get a notification of available updates to apps... anyone knows how this works and if it does drain the battery? Is there a way to turnthe update check off?
Can you try this:

When i connect my wildfire to my pc with the usb cable and charge it to 100%, it last a lot less than when i charge it to 100% via the plug in the wall. I was wondering what the difference is?
Strange... I never had this problem. For me, it last for the same amount of time.
Custom rom or original?

I have the original rom and it's updated to android 2.2.1. Maybe i'm wrong but it seems that way. It also seems as if it takes longer to charge. I bought the phone at the end of december so it's still quite new. Is there maybe an application which i can use to optimize or calibrate the battery which will improve the usage time of my phone once the battery is fully charged?
juicedefender allows you to turn off your internet connection while your phone screen is off, or when certain apps are running (for example it shuts down my internet when i'm playing angry birds, etc)
not sure if it is really THAT effective (it tells me it gives me half extra battery life but don't think I really get that out of it) but I've heard very positive comments overall
also, using as few as possible widgets increased my battery life and performance
Thanks, i'll give it a go.

I only know of the Wipe battery Stats in ClockWorkMod, but you need root and the custom recovery installed.
Well i'll have to wait untill a root is available for the wildfire 2.2.1 to be able to do what you just mentioned.

Just wanted to let know you know that juicedefender helps a lot, really pleased with this app! Thanks.
I have been searching as to what is the proper way to cycle charge so I can get the best battery life after installing new kernel and ROM.
However I seem to find different answers
One to drain in completely others say don't?
What do I do?
Unless someone links you to a peer reviewed research paper, you will be reading random anecdotes.

I wouldn't consider the manufacturer's suggested charging cycles to be "random anecdotes" even if they're not published in a peer reviewed journal.
"Completely draining" should not be practiced on a regular basis with lithium ion. You can't (or shouldn't be able to) reach an actual complete drain before the phone shuts down. If you could (or ever do) the battery would become useless to you as there is a point of low discharge where lithium ions can no longer be charged by a standard charger.
And while most of the time the shut down of the phone and the subsequent charger connection happens before this point - there have been plenty of people who have let their phones go till they shut down then go to charge their battery only to find it will no longer charge.
So every time there is a drain of your battery to the point your phone shuts off you get real close to that point where you will no longer be able to charge that battery (unless your one of those techno chemist electrical engineer types with all the appropriate tools and materials handy).

And i know i've read somewhere about someone suggesting that people go through this arduous process of draining the battery to a point, charging it fully, draining it completely, and charging it fully again (or something crazy like that... i don't remember exactly) to make the phone detect the full capacity of the battery and avoid any "memory effect", and i believe that whole idea was even shot down by someone at Google who works on the Android OS as being a complete crock.
I really don't think there is any PROCESS that can be done to give you the optimal battery life, aside from what can be done to prevent apps from draining the battery constantly. Some people recommend having a fully charged battery, or having the phone plugged in when you wipe the phone and install a new ROM... i've rarely done that. I've even wiped and installed roms at like 40% battery life... sometimes a bit lower. But in my experience, battery life has more to do with the ROM being used than what you did to try to MAKE the battery life better.
Running a touchwiz-modded ROM like DrewGaren's Serenity and stuff, i'd generally be lucky to get a full day of battery life seemingly no matter how much or how little i used the phone. I'm not what i'd consider a heavy user.... haven't really used my phone much all day today, though it did spend a good portion of the day on the charger. But i'm running the latest build of Task & Ktoonsez AOKP ROM, and it's been on battery for 9.75 hours and is still at 85%... but that's only with 20 minutes of screen time.
Anyway.... all i can say is from my own personal experience, but i don't think there is really any definitive process one can follow to improve battery life beyond what the software itself will do anyway.
Whether or not it has any effect on actual battery performance i would say that running a 'full' cycle or two of drain and charge for android to learn the battery capacity. Probably doesn't have much affect on a stock battery but when i purchased my 4400mah battery it took a few cycles to get an accurate reading from the charge meter. It would drain down to the warning in what it was expecting the stock 2100mah to be dying and ran FF3 for atleast 2 hours non stop on 1-5% until the battery actually gave out. On top of that it couln't decided how much it really wanted to say was remaining, it would jump up and down a percent or two, obviously confused of what to do. Whether or not its necessary to run it to this point is debatable, but with android or myself not knowing how much charge was actually left in the battery i did.

Hi;
From JerryRigEverything's Teardown video I can tell that is not easy to replace the battery on the G7 plus if would void the water resistance and since I'll keep this phone for at least 2 years I have the following question about how to preserve the battery in the best conditions possible:
In order prevent the battery degradation, is it better to use: Fast or Wireless Charger?
Do you have any other advice regarding this topic?
3000 mAh isn't that great to begin with and if you add that it could get worse over time then it's better to take precautions. I wouldn't care that much if replacing the battery wasn't that hard. I mean it would require a good technician in order to get a proper reparation and I'm not sure I know one.
I apologize for the spelling or grammar mistakes, I'm not a native speaker and I'm still learning.
Charge whenever you can and dont let it go under 50%
The more you discharge it the chorter lifespan it get
Disable all crap you do not use.. When at home, and phone not used much. Turn off Wifi, BT, Location and even Data..

According to what I've read. I think the ideal scenario would be mantaining the battery charge between 20% and 80%.

Yes. That's exactly what I do with every smartphone I've own. I usually go heave on optimization of every single aspect regarding performance and battery life.
I use WIFI on, Data off, BT off, location off, auto brightness setting, Always on display off, no facial unlock, WhatsApp tweak to get only important notifications, the display is set down to 1080p instead of 1440p. When I play PUBG mobile I turn on Airplain mode and plug in headphones.
I purchased Acubattery. It has alarms that let you know if you are overcharged (more than 80% it says).
It also does a really good job of monitoring your current capacity and giving your hints on what is draining your device during the day. It will estimate your current battery capacity, which is nice if your phone shows they battery condition as Good (whatever that means Huawei Nexus p6).
Basically your battery is going to self destruct, but I find this app really gives you a good amount of information to make good decisions about how you use your phone.
I disagree with every advice here!
Check out my thread from my last phone :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz...ry-restore-t3796461/post76653346#post76653346
Been reading dozen of threads on diffrent forums regarding people complaining about their poor battery health, performance, etc.
Here are my advices to obtain near 100% battery health as years passes by (I have an galaxy s3 from 2012 with 90% and an LG g3 dual sim from 2014 with 92% ???), it all has to do with user behavior:
1. Avoid not charging to at least 95% then discharging it to near 0% (example: you charge it from 0 to 50 then you go outside and discharge it to near 0)
2. Avoid high usage for more than 3 consecutive days.
3. Drain SLOWLY from 100 to 0 once a week. This drain must be done at least in 1,5 - 2 days.
4. Charge from 0 to 100 with phone off at least 1 time / week
5. Every 2 weeks Let the phone discharge in 2-3 days, with minimal use, like just calling.
6. Repeat nr. 3 as much as you can
7. Avoid putting to charge when the phone is hot.
8. Avoid charging while using the phone.
9. Avoid fast charging.
10. From 100 to 70 and from 30 to 10 go slowly.
11. Never let it discharged 5, 10, 20 % more than 1 day
12. Never charge from 20, 30 to 100.
And many more will come.
Cheers.

There are so many things that could affect your battery life over a 2yr period. I own both the G6 and G7 and the G6 still gives me pretty good standby and SOT after 2yrs.
General rule says you avoid fast charging wherever possible as this will affect battery over the long run. Avoid scenarios wherein the battery might overheat.
Also little things like simply living in an area with bad coverage will eat through your battery like nothing else.
If your worried about battery replacement, im fairly sure LG service centres do it for a pretty resonable price anyways.
Hi, I'm currently experiencing some problems with my Redmi Note 8 Pro.
I've had my phone for less than a month, and it's starting to get issues with the battery.
The battery, whether I charge it with the original wall charger, or I use a computer to charge it, or o use an alternative wall charger (that is for slow charge), it can't get to 100%.
It gets stuck at 99% and says, full charge in 2 minutes, even though the 2 minutes have passed long time ago.
I haven't done a full battery drain, and I always try to use a slow charge charger.
I also haven't done a full cycle without using the phone, maybe that's the problem.
But I'm worried, and I need some help, because I got the phone (as I said) less than a month ago, I haven't even payed the first installment.
I'm still within the seller's warranty, but I need some advices to what can I do, because returning the phone to the seller, to make a change, is gonna cost me 15 to 20 days. And I don't have any other phone to use.
Please, if someone can give me some advice, or tell me what to do, it's completely welcome.
Thanks.
And by the way, I'm using the Global 128Gb version, if that helps.
Edit 29/01/2020: I did a full discharge, because I couldn't read the quotes earlier, and I didn't realize how big the problem could be. Now, the phone can't go over 79%.
I didn't expected this issue with my RN8P, but with other phones (cheap noname ones).
A discharge to around 5%, and a full charge without unplugging did the trick for me.

When I cannot tell if its some HW related problem with your phone or battery but I am really wondering why you want to do full charges (and/or discharges)? It is known to wear battery way faster. Li-on or Li-po batteries do not have memory effects and it is known to be best to always keep them charge for example between 15-20% and 80-85% trying to never get bellow or above.
This phone has a pretty big battery, that normally should be enough to bring you through a day of normal use (if it does not you may want to check your hungry apps running in the bg) but maybe you are an heavy gamer or use your phone for some heavy usage stuff?
Even then, it would be best to do 2 quick 15 to 50-60% in about 30 mins with QC2 (18W original Wall charger) rather than one unique full charge.
Looking at what you said with slow charging you probably know all of that already, but the faster you charge the battery, even if same %, the faster it will discharge. As odd as it is, remains factual.
I dont know if you ever used an external amperemeter or similar to check what kind of current was actually going through your battery while charging, but if you do you will notice the first % goes way faster to charge than the last few %. The chip dealing with the battery charge, charges slower and slower toward the end because it could damage the battery, when on the opposite it is rather safe to quick charge the % in the middle.
Also you may want to check your alternative 'slow wall charger' to make sure it provides you with a steady voltage current (V). If it is fluctuating too much, it may damage your battery.
If you want to do further research about the subject, there is a note on the RN8PRO Telegram group explaining how to calibrate your battery by deleting some system files (root needed as far as I remember) and having some charges/discharges steps. Personally I have not done it because it requires to go to 100% and 0% a few times, and depleting a Li-ion/Li-po battery completely can damage it irreversibly. They are not meant to be discharged fully period. Now battery should not be completely drained when OS takes the phone off, that said we never know for sure since we cannot change that setting unlike on our windows laptops, but I dont want to take the risk.
When you are stuck to 99% it kind of looks to be the OS not being able to know if the battery is fully charged or not. In that state of things, have you tried to turn off the device without unplugging to see if the off-mode charging screen (the small battery screen with % when you turn your phone off) also remains at 99% or gets to 100% at some point? Because maybe all you need is to restart the phone to make OS aware the battery is fully charged. Could be a SW known/unknown issue/bug to be fixed with future updates for all I know.
But again, I don't think you should fully charge and/or discharge (if you do) your phone when you can avoid it.
Just my 2 cents.
Hope this helps,
Regards,

Hi Muad.Dib,
Well, I wanted to do that full charge a/o discharge because I thought it would help with the issue (turns out, it didn't, it got worse as you said) but I didn't know the effects of this before, I always thought it wouldn't have any effect. I wish I could have read your reply before doing it (I was busy and couldn't read it).
The battery lasts for more than a day (or it did before), and I always try to keep it clean from battery draining apps, and I don't play games that much on the phone, less than an hour per day.
Do you recommend me to do those 2 charges to 60% in my state? (phone can't get over 79% now).
I haven't ever used an amperemeter because I don't have one, and neither I do know how to use one of those.
If you can lend me a hand and give me the link to join the Telegram Group, it would very helpful ??. But I don't want to root the phone yet, cause the seller's warranty stills intact.
And yes, I have tried it and the off-mode charging screen keeps showing me 99% (or kept, because now it keeps at 79%). And I also tried few restarts and it didn't fixed it. :c
And I'm sorry, I wish I could've avoided it, but I read your reply too late.
Thanks for trying to help me anyways.
PS. I will try to do a factory reset to see if the MIUI update has something to do with the issue (because the seller told me to do it, and I will do it, though I don't think it could solve the issue). Please, if you have any advice before I do it, you could help me a lot. ( I'll do it something around 11:00 AM in GMT -03:00)

Hey.
Very strange what is happening to you it's probably the first time I read about something like this.
Please note I am no battery expert either.
From own experience and friends, usually when you wear a battery (or it worn by itself after use or bad storage condition before being sold) it still goes up to 100% but does not retain original design capacity anymore. The usual behavior is like for example you still have like 30% left, and suddenly it drops to like 5% and you only have a few seconds to plug it in the charger.
When that's happens it is time to change battery.
In your case I really have no idea what could prevent HW/SW to reach 100%.

Oh those are easy to use as I meant some kind of small USB device that you plug in between your charger and your phone. They are cheap and you get them for like 10 bucks on Amazon. Readings might not be 100% accurate but they still give a decent idea as they display Voltage, Amperage and accumulated capacity/used current for device plugged.

You find quite a few things there.

Normally nothing you could have done, could have damaged the battery this way. Depleting it completely could have shorten its life or damage its overall capacity, but by all means there is no way in just a month you could have damaged the battery to this point. So either the OS is not reading things right (what version of OS and phone do you have - which region is your rom?) or either sensors or battery have a problem.
Since you still are under warranty period I would definitely get it replaced. Maybe you got a faulty batch or something. This happens.

I will try to do a factory reset to see if the MIUI update has something to do with the issue (because the seller told me to do it, and I will do it, though I don't think it could solve the issue). Please, if you have any advice before I do it, you could help me a lot. ( I'll do it something around 11:00 AM in GMT -03:00)

This definitely cannot hurt to try.
If that does not work return the phone.
Just to know, based on your flag I would assume you are in Chile but I may be wrong. If I am not mistaking it is summer there and probably is pretty hot. I wonder if 'too hot' could damage the battery.
Hope this helps.
