Hello,
I am experiencing a tremendous battery drain when the wifi is switched on, but the device is not used. The battery is discharged after 12 hours!
With this setting, with WM5, the charge would last 2 to 3 days.
I am now testing how the battery performs when the wifi is switched off.
Does anyone experiences this battery drain with the wifi switched on? Is there a solution to this problem? (I just find switching the wifi on and off manually a little annoying)
Thanks!
I am having the same prob, when WiFi on, but not used my battery drained 6% in 2 minutes
also
same here but my battery drains bad no matter what i'm doing
buy a new batter
im using a battery for da wing that is 50 percent longer than the regular one heres the place i bought it

Ok i am new here to windows mobile this forum and the x1 as i only have it for about 3 days. But my question is, is it normal that it uses 57% ram when idle? And is the battery supposed to be empty at the end of the day (i leave it charging when i go to sleep)? I got the Hard-spl and Touch-IT v4.5 landscape installed.
The ram is normal for the rom, but the batt life aint.
What is a normal battery life then?

Depends on what you're doing with your phone.
The battery life can vary between a few hours (full usage of WiFi and/or Bluetooth and MP3) to 10+ days (most time in standby).
I have 4 days with average usage.

I charge it each day.Nomatter it's 90% or 30%.
I never now"will I use my X1 to listen music or go surfing tomorrow?".
Uhm i got 1 day when i am not using the phone and it's just on standby mode all the day and no i don't have wifi on. But i don't know if GPS goes on/off auto but as far as i know it's off.
If make x1 just standby and never used it,maybe a week or more.
But,who can buy a mobile just make it standby
I never mind it,get one more battery maybe a good idea
Hmm i think ill just wait for a week or so and look what happens as i just had it for 3 days.

3 days is enough for me...I can not believe my x1 could do it...
I don't know is there the "momax battery" in your area..
My friend told me the battery is better than the original one.
You should search the forum... there are some ways to increase battery life... the biggest issue people have is that they don't fully charge the phone before switching it on. There is a bug in WM which takes the battery charge at the time to be 100%. It will not charge above this figure unless it's turned off.
So turn off the phone and fully charge then restart the phone and it will set the charge level correctly.
Then see what life you get on stand by... I bet it's lots higher.

No it doesn't, i switched mine on at the phone shop then charged it at home. Worked fine
Wow... that's a nice kick in the nads... could you at least let him try it? I know I had the issue when I first got the phone... did this and it helped me. But of course, if you haven't had this problem dadeadman you must be universally correct.

I'm gonna give that a go. Since going to itje v4.5 my battery life has been completely naff, doesn't even last a day :-(

same as mine
i feel thre battery life on my x1 is terrible, i full charge it n dischange it on 6: 30am, was using some GPS, heavy EDGE to go online but around 8am to 1pm is using wifi to go on... after all this it drop to 20% battery... so i borrow some1 laptop to charge da fone, n it seems it wont charge n drain battery from my fone, it shows dat im gettin charge but after i unplug it around 5pm i got 5% battery left. my fone shut down on me at 6pm...i got home around 9pm... dat means i got 3 hrs lost in space... no1 can call me, cant go online n lalalala...
i thought my w960 battery was wack... dis is worst...
is HD7 really a battery sucker?
i got a mugen 3900mah battery, no email schedule, wifi off, bt off, location on, 20 sms, 20 mins of gaming. no calls. screen brightness auto. 3G data allowed.
wth.
any tips on battery saving?
I have 1230mAh(default) battery , playing 15min , 60-70sms , 1 hour talking , wifi on , 3g off
keeps charge approximately 1.5 days
I think the problem is in ur battery
LOL, i think i just need to calibrate my battery. I've been playing games for 2 hrs. and it's still on it's last? bar? wifi-on and listening to internet radio for 4 hrs. and the phone hasnt shutdown.
With the extended batteries I believe that the os battery indicator becomes inaccurate because of the extended battery and how it reads it.
I'm not even sure Windows Phone 7 supports extended batteries , but if it does, then it is probably due to a lack of calibration or poor quality.
Same with me, i got a Yoobao 2200Mah, and when the battery is low i pull it out and put it back in and im back to 100% charge. im going to fully flatten it again to see if it helps
Battery capacity does little
Is anyone having this problem as well with their HD7?
I had my phone hooked up to my laptop last night recharging it and this morning I see that it is down to 32% already.
I know everyone was saying this phone wasn't that good on battery life but holy crap it cant be that bad!
Is this on my side or does the phone really burn through battery life? Oh and I"m running Deepshining.
Im running deepshining too, the phone drains battery but not that fast.
You might have following turned on
- Location
- 3G
- Data
- Wifi
If you turn these off, and em on as and when needed, the battery timing will be increased greatly.
Hope this helps
Thanks...I know it shouldnt have been that fast.
Can you perhaps tell me where to get into the comm manager? I cant seem to find it anywhere.
Also, bear in mind, the charge current from the Laptop USB port will not be very high, and certainly will not charge the device to the same standard as the wall charger...
Just took off my phone from the charger at 100% and it says i only have 10 hrs of battery life 12 if I have it on battery saver.
IS this normal?!?! It seems so low.

i had to re caliberate my battery after the mango....
How does one recalibrate it? Sorry for so many questions its just on this phone almost everything is hidden.
hi all ,
my phone is having some battery drain issues ...when i use GXP v22 the battery drain 1% everty minute in standby ..no battery in just 2 hours with GDX it last only 10hours
even when i full wiped , clear dalvik , wipe battery stats the battery still dies to quickly ...
so what would you do?
oh ya i got this rather odd problem the battery went standby for about 4hours ..the battery was 75% and still is ..but then when you use like 1 minute it drop another 1% ..why?
will the launcher be he culprit? i use launcher 360 ..
i off everthing , 3g ,0% brightness , no haptic , no wifi , no bluetooth use silent etc...
flash the other rom after flashing gdx without full wipe.. hope it works ...

Try another "Rom" i guess it's not the launcher but the rom itself, try XGin 6.2 it has a great batt. life. been using it for over 2 weeks now and i'm pretty happy with the battery life.
wifi always on, calling, texting, media streaming, brightness set @ 70%, surfing and my batt last for about 1day 7hrs..
will it help if i give it some time ? maybe a week or 2 ?
I don´t think so.
But that battery drain IS NOT NORMAL, I normally get beetween 24h and 48h of without charging, sometimes even more, and less when I use Wi-Fi or play 3D games.
There´s a battery calibration app on the market:
You charge you phone, an when it´s at 100% you click a button and then the app wipes your battery stats.
You can also set an alarm that rings when the battery is on 100%.
GingerDX v022 on Stock Kernel, smartass governor (default scaling values of 122->600 MHz)
With WiFi and 3G turned OFF the battery drain is 1% in ~2.5-3 hours (phone idle).
With 3G turned on and WiFi turned off the battery drain (almost full reception) is 1% every 4.5 minutes!!! (~7 hours before the battery dies)
With WiFi turned on and 3G turned off the battery drain is 1% every 15-20 minutes (phone just sitting there causing the usual traffic of Gmail, Talk, Sync).
Try to set your phone to a comparable configuration (no idea if GXP has a CPU Governor setting - in GDX it's in CyanogenMod Settings) and try to replicate the test ...
From the "with GDX it last only 10hours" you wrote it sounds like your phone is constantly connected to WiFi or 3G (and maybe having download/upload traffic going on - therefore increasing the power consumption).
EDIT:
Also note that overclocking (as I recall I spotted a overclock thread of yours) will chew the juice out of your battery at a way faster pace.
Keep in mind that the values may differ depending on the GSM/3G reception ... the weaker the signal, the more power the phone needs to apply to communicate with the tower. If you're in an area where the reception is poor you shouldn't wonder about the battery getting eaten.
As a last resort, keep an eye on what applications you have running in the background. The more crap you got running, the more bat drain you're going to have when processes are fighting over CPU time.
NONO i never on wifi / 3G / bluetooth / GPS ..cause of the poor battery i tried my best to save as much battery as possible ...but in no use =( i cosntantly use task killers and i use smartass governer i think i will try stormvix ..oh! and starting my phone eats about 20% each time i does it ..is this normal?
i tried the battery calibration app ..doesn't do jack =(
should i pcc my phone? and redo everything

"starting my phone" translates into what ... ?
Turning it on (from being powered off) and letting it boot up results in 20% loss of battery charge?
That's NOT normal at all ... your charge should lose 1% at best if it was already close to going down by a percent.
Using the phone for a phone call makes it lose 20% battery charge?
Well, that entirely depends on the length of the call and the reception. Going down 20% would be about... hmmm... 1.5h talking time (estimated from the top of my head)?
At any rate ... a rapid loss of charge like your 10 hours while the phone just idles around twiddling thumbs and not being connected to WiFi or 2/3G is not normal no matter how you look at it. EDIT: Unless you overclock sky-high and running the performance governor which would keep the CPU fully clocked no matter what's currently going on.
starting in the sense like restarting eg entering cwm / xrec ...i flashed back to stock now ...gonna do it all again .. i knew this was too much drain i off everything even background data and i use smaratss 122 - 710 , even my brightness is 9% ...

Just for testing purposes to see if the bat drain stays within a sane stretch I recommend you stay with 122-600MHz.
It would also help to install some app/widget that monitors the current clock of the CPU - just to see if there's something which keeps your CPU busy and therefore running at full throttle. I recently saw something like that, I just fail to remember where and what the name of the app was ...........
okay so i flashed to stock last night ..i on everything sync , wifi , bluetooth , data etc for 5 hours it drained only 10% surpisingly ...after 10seconds it restarted and dropped to 3% ..odd...and i fully charged my phone to 100% and left it there for about 1hour and it dropped from 100% - 86% ..any solution?
There are only two things left that I would consider ...
a) The circuitry monitoring the battery charge is bogus and pulling random values out of thin air (would indicate a hardware defect in the loading circuit on the motherboard).
b) Any change the guys who repaired your phone from the hard brick returned your device with a old, almost dead, battery instead of the shiny new one you had in your W8 that bricked (you know, shady retailers thinking to make a few extra bucks by selling off the battery of your dead phone as used-part replacement to earn a "little something extra")? This would closer match to the 10->3% / 100->86% jump symptoms - the battery being about dead and therefore unable to hold the charge and draining like wild.
I don't know which of these two options to favor, but I would give "b" a 51% chance over "a".
EDIT: Stay with the Stock ROM and complain with either the repair shop or SE as the drain problem can be reproduced any given time. This should actually be covered through warranty as the original phone wasn't that old, and the repair is somewhat unrelated. The battery should at least last for two years before you should observe major degrades.
