[Q] I've done everything..but still.. - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Need some help here..
I have rooted desire with latest lee's rom (thank's lee, you have my gratitude), installed with setcpu, also juice defender, and have done battery calibration (can't post a link since i'm a junior member).
Fyi, i'm a heavy user, got my gmail, twitdroyd, facebook, and instant messaging sync everytime, frequently playing with internet based games, surfing a lot, and have my based network on 2G and my brightness turn to 10%.
Is anyone here having similar problems like me and have passed the situation? sorry that my english isn't good
Thanks bfore..

I don't understand your question - problems similar to you - like what ? you didn't write what your problem is ?
/Smirge

if its about battery life, i am just as heavy user as you, i can get 8-12 hours out of my battery usually, you can get batterys for as cheap as $10 on ebay, just buy a couple and a dual charge dock (that can charge a battery that isnt in your phone) and your battery problems are gone

In u'r case, no doubt you will have very short battery life
Come on Indonesia, be realistic lah..
Dan gak usah lah pake sebut nama negara kita, malu dong gan

try a few different radios - I've seen my battery life double using some of the newer radios.
you can check them out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464
start with the most recent and work your way down the list.

Yes it's about battery life that last about 6 hours, and using the latest radio. R u folks have tried calibrating the battery? I want to know the method, cause it seems wiping the battery stats have no impact to my battery life..thanks

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.

Drain
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.
Charge to 100% , go to recovery , advanced , wipe battery stats. Enjoy greater baterry life

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.

Yup, that ROM has the best battery life by far...

people are having mixed results on the battery perfermance of adam's sensefroyo rom. i experienced a poorer battery life compared to eclair (i used Amer_v4 and the battery was excellent) but can still manage to last a full day usually. haven't tried out the froyo roms though.

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 ?

[Q] Compatible Battery

Hi everyone, i am facing some HUGE battery drains when i am over a 3G network.
I am currently using a Stock ROM 2.2 (JPS i guess),but as soon i turn the 3G on,my battery does not last 10 minutes.
I started looking over a battery replacement,and i´ve found all those :
Ebay Search
I want to know if you guys can tell me which would be a better alternative for a compatible battery. Also,if you guys already experienced this battery drain and were able to fix it somehow.
Thanks in advance.

Solutions:
1) Buy new battery
and / or
2a) Turn on and off mobile data manually
2b) Use OnScreenOff app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seroton.onscreenoff with auto time intervals
3) Use 2G only (in settings)
4) Try another rom

After 1 year and an half some months ago i faced the same problem, so i bought a new battery on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=110861143398&view=all&tid=834148161001) but i still had a short battery life on 3G/2G and i thught the problem was the ruined battery (it arrived in terrible conditions with cracks etc...) so i bought this extended battery: http://www.ebay.it/itm/261029030204...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1965wt_1029 . It didn't arrive yet but someone that bought it can tell me if it works better than the original one or not?
After almoste 2 and a half year of service my battery died in peace
so I begon the search for a new battery and found this battery pack on e-bay
I'm using these battery's for about 2 weeks now and I have to say I'm very satisfied
They last for about 3 day's (mobile data constantly connected, wifi for about 1 hour turned on and some pictures)
I definitely recommend this battery pack to al of you

Power consuming in mA

Hi guys...
i've installed Battery Monitor to check how much mA consuming the phone in stand by and in use... i notice that i have high battery usage...
Can you say to me how much mA use your HTC ONE X?
Thanks!!!!
Mine is using an average of 300-400, but i just flashed a new rom and installed alot of apps.
Are you on root? You can improve your battery life if you have root, also try to turn of Wi-Fi and Mobile Network off if you don't use it, atleast one of the two off if not using. And try not to use auto sync
Hope this helps, be sure to search a guide for improving battery life.
If i'm correct I saw a link in the OP of the ARHD Rom thread.

Unsolved Issue, I give UP!

I can not understand why it happened to me, i have been using gio for over a year now with 2.3.3 and my battery could take out 2 days with music, wifi and games but a month back i flashed Cm7.2 and the battery drained like hell.
This battery issue is killing me and i tried everything, calibration, wiping stats, flashing other ROMs at 100% and alot of other tweeks but now i give up.
I think its battery problem but how can this problem arise, iam thinking to buy a new battery.
Does anyone has same issue and changed the battery?
Was the problem corrected after new battery?
Please reply as your replies would really help me
Thank You!
reflash but wipe all battery settings and retrain all wipes battery effects are software is obscure complaining(intelligent?) battery deductions
but once max==min it fails
wipe battery after 24h load then drain as far as possible at the end reboot untill it does not start any more or boot cwm
then rest a while and boot Rom.
maximizes spread software min and max
but you can never beat a real dead battery
Enthusiastic Gio User
Very glad with the work done
But sometimes a pusher for results( nothing bad intended)
So u saying, i shuld buy new battery?
I already said im gonna buy a new one as this one is swollen.
I asked if anyone used new battery after the battery is swollen and their experience.
Will 1500mAh battery on gio do good?
1500 is fine, just remove batterystats

- stock ROM
- rooted
- battery stats/history not wiped
batteries dont life forever, just like humans. however, batteries are smaller, also in life. after some time and lots of charging it will lose some Mah and not have the 1300 like it has normally but maybe 1200, and even less if you use it a long time.

Yes it is known thing of all batteries (in phones, notebooks etc)... ...but it is good to know, that battery of Gio will go down after about one year (cca 150x chargings)

[Q] battery life experience on different rom

lately i have expereiced that aosp battery life is not better
stock rom has way better i had like 11 hours screen time with very little wifi and gps usage
please i have been flashing aosp and tochwiz roms lately and even kernels but iam not able to get required normal attery life
please share ur battery life tips and the rom and kernel ur using with
there should be a general thread about battery life tips what i noticed that note 2 might be the phone with custom roms worse battery life compared to stock
ive used greenify and just use my phone for chrome messages and call
please share good stasts and tips
there should be rom reviews by users about battery and stuff so people can know,its too much time consuming trying every rom and setting it up and in the end replaccing it
please its a request to all users
help other community members thanks
I've been using greenify and rescan media root for a while and I can notice the difference in battery life.

Battery life is normally driven by your kernel. However, chips are mass manufactured and as such are not identical. So what works well for me and my chip may not be brilliant for you.
Imo the only thing you can safely compare, regarding battery life, between two handsets is screen off time. The best I've experienced is 1% drain per hour. to get that I use jedix20 rom with the built in saber kernel.

Yes AOSP has weaker battery life.... just use 4.1.2 ROM for now, and wait for official 4.3

well my time on desire hd it was quite easy aosp roms had bettery battery then stock rom even and there were was time that it was a small phone would notice battery life in about 5-6 hours
what i wanted to ask was that if yr using aosp pls share ur stats on a dynamic thread with rom detail ive used searches several times but still no avil of info i need people/users should share mare info to the developers to the people so that it would make easy development

No that drain is with screen off.
I understand your desire to get a 'league table' of roms/kernels to compare loss etc. However, I've seen people in these threads turn all power sappers off like wifi, mobile etc then leave the screen on on a dark picture just so they can say they've had 2 days of screen on time.
Would that really be real life use and helpful to anyone?
I play asphalt 8 and when I do my battery drains super quick maybe more than 20% an hour. Yet if I'm only Web surfing that 20% would last maybe 5 times longer. So how could you successfully compare that kind of usage?
That's why I think the only real safe comparison is to compare standby time with the screen off. Btw i leave my wifi permanently on.

But my main concern is , It does'nt handles the Radio very well , While Signal fluctuates or I'm on the move, battery drain is heavy , When i'm in good reception area without much movement then it does well. I don't know why. Sammy handles this much much better may'be the issue is with Radio/sensors/GPS drivers.
