I've been using my HTC Diamond for a few days and I would like to ask a question.
How are your batteri time? Mine seems insanely low, for example tonight when I put the phone besides my bed with almost fully charged battery and woke up 9 hours later and it was completely empty.
Are this normal or have I probably installed some strange app that drains a lot of battery? Or might the battery even be damaged?
The only app I can think of is the background changer that I found on this page, but it only changes once in 30 minutes, and not when the phone is in sleepmode (I think).
Thanks in advance.

Guys. I had a very big problem here. My phone is just off the charger for about 10 min but the battery drops to 97% already. And I checked with the stamina mode which the battery only last for 18 hour and standby time only less then 2 days. Any idea about this? and any way to fix?
Thx.

How long have you owned the unit? I found mine needed a few charge cycles to become more stable.
One strange thing I have noticed is that whilst charging the notification light turns green at 90% for some reason, has anyone else noticed this?
Hi homer285. thanks for your reply. I had it for about a week only. So is it better I make some cycle charge for it to make it back to normal?
Thx.

that is normal for all Sony devices.
90% to 100% is green. below 90 is orange. and below 10 or something is red.

for the first part, the battery dropping so quickly, can you provide another screenshot for the battery and the apps working, to see which app consumed more battery. I usually charge my phone before going to sleep and after waking up ~9 hours later the battery drops from 100-96%.

For the second part, this is normal. the estimated battery gives indication depending on your usage (so yours will be different than mine). while standby is where your phone is not being used and thats why it is longer although it is quite little, my phone at 62% and says 3 days and 2 hours in standby mode.
if I didn't answer your question, please explain further but other screenshots would help as well, thx

I noticed this when charging mye phone the last time too. Maybe it is not quite calibrated yet? I did charge to 100% then totally drained it though, after charging it the first time out of the box.
Hi ahomad
Thx for ur reply. Attached is the photo of my battery usage for this morning.
I do understand what they mean but for the first few day usage my stamina standby time is up to 3-4days, just don't know what happen it dropped for used about a week.
And is it just the normal status or is it better to make some calibration for battery. If so, what is the best way to do that.
Thx.

you might have been playing games heavily (assuming the second app using most power is a game) thus the estimation was lowered as the phone assumed you will play more games in the coming days.
But from the picture you attached, you do have quite good battery as you were playing heavy game for 40 mins while having LTE on yet the battery dropped 9% which is really good
just ignore what the phone is telling as long as you don't see real world weakness of the battery performance. these estimates are never real just to give an indication
I have no complains with the speed of my z1 and its reliability. But after awhile (i have been using my phone for 1 year and 4 months now and no complain until now), my phone shuts off to 0% right after usign it for almost 30 minutes of extensive use (playing summoners war/family guy). But from the past yr i have no problem even if its too hot and drains the way it normally should, not until now. it is really annoying. It drains pretty bad from 100% to 70% then 30% to 13% then shutsoff . It still drains even when on sleep right after usign it for 30minutes. For example, playing for like 30 minutes, the battery will turn from 100% to 72% . Then after awhile on sleep for 30 minutes, the battery will be turn to 40-50% then the rest of the history will follow....
Not recently, i have noticed that waiting for my phone to cool off after it shuts off , will have it again another 50% of its life when u turn the power on again.
Before, i charge my phone for like 3 hours , now 1 hour and its full. :/ U Can really see the fault around here.
What to do ?
I have tried using Battery Calibration, Set CPU - all did not work.
This manifested after 2 months now.
Is my battery at fault?
what can i do?
Do i need to use another stock like CM12?
My phone is up to date.
Please i need ur help so badly. Any replies or same situations will help me .

Obviously your battery is at fault.
You battery must have expanded and this will go ON
See at the back of your device where is battery is located. It may have been little changed shape .I.e not flat surface little bugled
Go to service centre ASAP

YEAH! I noticed that ! I forgot to add that the back of my phone is bulging. (middle part)
Thankyou for that!
I let it charge to 100% around 1am, unplugged and work up at 730am. Battery was on 85%. No use at all.
During regular use it seems to drain quickly. I've disabled probably 20 apps.

I have my edge since Monday and what you're saying I have not experienced. Post some screen shots of your battery stats so we can have a better idea of what's going on

I went to bed around 1am as well, woke up at 9:30am. I also disabled around 20 apps. Bedtime battery was at 95% wake up battery was at 85%. I dont think thats too bad at all.
I'm pretty happy with my battery life so far
Does Verizon have an immediate ota update like tmobile? I didn't he update right away and seems solid enough. Not as good as my g3, but way smaller of a battery in the edge.
Disable the Amazon App Suite from Applications manager. This has been the culprit for every carrier on the S6. If you use Amazon app store, download it through amazon directly (it is a different app than the one included with the phone).
Your problem will be solved right away!!
Also, the Edge display (not the contact color part, but the clock and news feed) is a battery drain.
another problem with alot of s6 owners, aside from the stock amazon app, is there has been alot of battery drain if using wifi. I had wifi on most of the time and noticed a drain from cell standby... once you turn off the wifi that never comes up and drain is perfectly fine... no cell standby battery drain...
My battery was terrible the first day, ok the second day, and far better today. Seems like it has a time it needs to settle down.
I haven't gotten >3.5 hours screen on time yet. Which kind of stinks.
Disabled a few more apps today, will see if they helps any.
Sure have been getting use out of the quick charging though.
Yesterday my phone took a change in the battery department....

Sorry, I didn't look at that before I plugged it in.
Almost 6 hrs of screenon time use, Netflix for 30 mins...Facebook and texting. Screen set at around 30% brightness. Happy with my S6.
Not disappointed in how short the overall battery is...it does what I want and need it to do.
Yesterday my phone was dead from 6am to 6pm today at 5pm still have 47% left and I definitely used it more today. Better with age?
Hello I just gave my first full charge to my phone and the cell stand by is at the top, is there a way to avoid this or we going to accept to live with it, thanks for your help.
my battery wasn't too bad either
Good morning guys.
Long time without post here but I have a "little" problem with my phone. It is an HTC One m7 (AT&T original) but converted to GPE. It was bought around 2013 so it has few years of use. Since yesterday I am having a problem that I will describe.
Yesterday phone was charged at 100%, I only play Clash of Clan so with phone charged at 100% BUT charged connected to the phone I enter to the game and played for around 4-5 minutes max. After close the game I see that phone does not show 100% charge instead of that only show 53%...
Today the problem has showed 2 times, from 60% to 39% and 86% to 53%. Both time I only was using the game, not more...
What could be the problem? Some app? Time to change phone? Hard reset could help?
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Sounds like the battery needs replacing. Screenshot your battery usage and send it here.
Hi @starboi4eva.
I attached 4 screenshots, the last 2 are from today. Battery was showing 96% charge and in less that a minute (just playing CoC and with charger connected) the battery just drop to 83%
Thanks for the answer.
Sorry for the late reply. And yeah....that doesn't look healthy. I suggest getting a new battery. I bought one off ebay last year and replaced it myself. Some skills needed to replace it.
Hello guys.
I just bought today my p30 pro.
I opened it and the battery was at 64%.
I setup my phone etc for some time and the battery went after some hours to 50%.
Then I put the phone aside and picked it up after about an hour and the battery was at 42%.
Nothing was happening at the background, no downloading no synching etc.
Is it something normal because it was the first usage of the phone after opening it? After the first fully charge I will give it, is it something that will not happen again?
Thanks in advance.

Hi m8, have you checked in Settings/Battery if there are some apps that squize your battery juice? Ex:Facebook, Instagram or another app that is always on and stays connected in background?
I always deactivate those apps and other ones from staying open in background or starting on boot.

I checked and i didnt find something unusual.
After it went at 42%, it was loosing 1% every 1,5 / 2 hours with just sitting there.
Today i gave it its first fully charge and after 4 hours its still at 100%, with just 10-15 minutes of calling time and a couple of sms. But for now it looks good.
I just wanted to know if the battery behavior i had is normal when you open the phone for the first time before you charge it for the first time.

When i've opened my phone it was on 58% battery. After software update and setting it up (~4h) it was on 10%. I've charged it overnight and on first day usage (from 7:30 AM 'till 23:30 PM) it was down to 23%. After that, on normal day by day use i can get ~ 6-7 hours on SOT (AOD, YouTube, Facebook, email, Chrome, calls, some photos/videos depending situation). If i have a busy day at work, it will drain ~10%-15% on 6-8 hours without hard usage.
Is it normal to have that high% at cell standby?
I cant find a way to post the picture, but my cell standby is at 18.89%.
