[Q] Battery issues.

Hi all.
Flashed 2.3d a couple of days ago and have been monitoring my battery usage.
It hardly lasts 24 hours.
My general usage is here:
Browse for approximately an hour - Facebook, Twitter and the regular stuff.
4 -5 short calls (of approx. 3 minutes)
No text messaging at all. Have another phone for text messaging only!
My wi fi is permanently disabled as I rely on my EDGE connection - which is ON only when I browse. I make it a point to switch off EDGE when not in use.
Display settings is reduced to 30% using Quick settings.
No automatic sync of accounts.
GPS is never ON on any given day as such.
No bluetooth usage as such.
I have absolutely NO widgets on my homescreen, I prefer launching the apps directly.
Using the latest radio and I did calibrate the battery after flashing 2.3d.
Haven't overclocked at all. It's the default "smartass" settings. And I have setCPU coming into picture when the screen is off (499 max and 245 minimum).
Any thoughts?

Install currentwidget and set I to log every 5 min. After a day see if, during standby, the current is often above 3 to 10 mA. If so you have a bad app or setting (probably facebook), if not there is not much you can do.

Some people are saying that the following steps increase their battery life, why not give a try :
# Turn your phone on and charge it for 8 hours or more
# Unplug the charger
# Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour
# Unplug the charger
# Turn on the phone and wait 2 minutes
# Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour
# Unplug, turn it on and use as normal. Your battery life should now be a lot better

Thanks mate. I guess I'll try this if the problem continues and see where it takes..

turn off use gps satellites in location
turn off use wireless networks in location
turn off wireless and everything in wireless&networks
turn off background data in accounts&sync
go to wireless&networks->mobile networks and change network mode to gsm only
and turn off data roaming, data roaming sound and enable always-on mobile...
Also when you bought HTC you shouldn't power it unless you didnt fully charge battery. And also dont let your battery drain to end, when it comes to yellow you can charge phone freely. And I don't know but when I rooted my phone, battery seems to last longer. Maybe I am wrong.

I installed the battery widget and have been monitoring the usage, and yes the usage when the phone is in sleep mode is around 5 mA extending upto 10 mA at times.
Should it ideally be ZERO? Coz I could also see 0 mA at a given time but it wasn't widespread.
5 - 10 mA is widespread when the phone is asleep (display off).

In that case there is not much to do about battery life. You could lower the CPU speed and the brightness but that are not the best solutions. At last in my opinion.
Getting the mA to 0 during standby is/ should be impossible. The best I got was 3 mA with only 2g.

Oh okay..
On an average, at standby (sleep) how much current does your phone consume?
I've already changed the resolution from auto to a level which I feel is good. Wouldn't want to underclock at all.

Thanks Buddy ! I'll wait

i have tried it before but many apps crashed and sometime phone restarts.

In my case it doesn't crash any app sometimes it stop apps.

u can switch off your phone while charging if u don't want background processes. I doubt......., with the above mentioned method (in the main post) i'll be able to receive calls and sms as normal...

It doesnt stop stock apps

Does not do much on the charging speed,only slight improvement.

OK!

Fast charging option available in snapdragon 615
There is fast charging option available in snapdragon 615, check the specs in Qualcomm website.

Keep background process limit 2, 3 or 4. Then it will not hang or force closes your apps..

Not Working

What charger are you using for charge? The default charger given has output of 1A which is 1000mA
And our YUreka battery is 2500mAH. So with 100% efficiency the charge time should be 2 and half hours.

ZE 551ML battery drain since a few days

As my title suggests, the phone was working fine until a few days ago (the battery drops by 1% at every 2 hours normally), when it suddenly started dropping by 4% each hour.
I tried everything I could think of: restarted the phone, wiped storage cache, formatted recovery cache, checked for drain applications, turned it off and charged it like that and left it there for a few hours, restored google play to factory settings and updated it again (first tried to reset google play services just to make sure that isn't the problem, but the phone wouldn't let me). I have no idea what to try anymore.
Anyone has any idea regarding this?

Please provide more details, what firmware are you on? Which ROM are you using if any?

I'm using WW firmware .184 (the problem started while i was still on .183 though) and I'm still on stock ROM, unrooted (and never rooted it).
Everything was working fine until a few days ago...

Could you please post a screenshot of your battery usage? And please try using a different charger. I've noticed that my phone gives me more battery power on a low voltage charger.

I will do so when I'll have the chance, I recharged the phone overnight and I unplugged it 2 hours ago. I tested these days all kind of different networks (2G/3G/4G) and WiFi on and off. I left the phone with Wi-Fi off and only 2G. Now when I checked it after 2 hours, I see that it's at 99%, as it's supposed to be normally, 1% per 2 hours discharge. Now I've re-enabled WiFi and I'll see if it starts dropping as fast as before or not. After that I'll re-enable 3G (that's on what I'm usually using my phone) and turn Wi-Fi off and see if it starts dropping normally. I wanna see if for one reason or another, Wi-Fi might be the issue.
Normally,the phone drops 1% per 2 hours with 3G and Wi-Fi enabled.
If this I won't get any result or conclusion from this, then I'll post a screenshot.

Once try safemod.

Okay so it really seems that Wi-Fi might be the issue. While my phone had Wi-Fi on and 2G, it dropped like crazy again. After i disabled Wi-Fi, I also moved the phone back to 3G and there was only 2% drain in like 6 hours. Now I re-enabled the Wi-Fi and trying again...but it seems that indeed Wi-Fi is consuming the battery for an unknown reasons. I've always kept Wi-Fi on before and it didn't drain battery.

"Wifi scanning" always on could be the issue...

It's off
And after leaving Wi-Fi on and getting a huge battery drain...and after a while turning it off and the drain stopping, I can confirm that the problem is somehow Wi-Fi related.
Screenshots attached.
As you can see, when Wi-Fi was on, the battery drained faster, when it was off, it went down a lot slower. The cell networks doesn't look too good but I can confirm that on 2G, where I have green cell network in the battery usage, with Wi-Fi enabled, it drops at the same rate.

Bro could there be an app constantly syncing or downloading data in the background that u may have recently downloaded or have changed certain such settings for an app..

calibrate htc 10 battery

I am running viper rom and i facing some illogical Battery percentage
Any idea how to calibrate it
I ve tried many apps from play store and no results
And i even tried the hard way by pressing the 3 buttons while the phone is off olso no luck
Any idea?

Calibrating the battery on Android devices
Method for rooted devices:
1. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it on and let it turn off again.
3. Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4. Unplug your charger.
5. Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on the screen as well.
6. Unplug your phone and reboot. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
7. You want to repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without being plugged in.
8. Now, install the Battery Calibration app attached below and, before you launch it, make sure your battery is at 100 percent again, then reboot.
9. Immediately launch the app and recalibrate your battery stats.
10. Once you've calibrated your battery, discharge it all the way down to 0 percent and let your phone turn off again.
11. Fully charge the battery one more time without interruption while it's switched off, and the Android system's battery percentage will be reset.
Note that all the app does is wipe the accumulated data from the batterystats.bin file giving you a new clean slate to work with. This method is also called, "training the battery" and should be performed infrequently. Maybe once every four months or so.

I ll give it a try

I would also note that this would be good to do right before installing a battery monitor app like Gsam or BBS. :good:

I haven't calibrated mine in a long time. Getting ready to do it right now.

How successful was this calibration?

After the Dec 19 update, will the phone work as long as it is plugged into power?

The battery power doesn't drop if you run it plugged in. Will it continue to work if you keep it connected to a power source all the time?

Maybe, if the battery charging level is sufficient to operate and you do not disconnect the charger.
I remember the first recall with 60% that you could bring to 80% in the extended settings. As long i had the charger connected the battery level didn't decrease.
But you just have a nice landline phone this way
But if the battery is empty, or let's say below 1-2% (do not know the exact percentage) then you are probably lost. The device will shut down and probably not boot again.
So better try to lock out this update.

How do I lock out the update? I already have another phone but I use the other on wifi at home
