[Q] Battery Life

Last friday purchased HTC Incredible S, since I'm kinda hardcore user of phones (previously had old crap Samsung Tocco Lite - was surfing on internet + listening music, without problem could survive 10-12hrs nonstop use), now when I tried same with Incredible S, it end up that after 2-3 hrs of surfing + some app using for awhile, I ended up at 30-35% from 100%. I did turned all syncs off, brightness to minimums, turned of almost everything and all tasks, so it was just like test for how long surviving it with no internet(wifi/mobile),any sync, any sound/vibration and low brightness - it survived 1 hour longer then before. Like srsly 400£ worth phone with battery what can't hold even 6 hrs?
P.S. first try with apps and such was record for 4 hrs, next test without any apps etc etc survied 5 hrs...

The battery gets better in time.

I see that you have Incredible too, how long your battery lasts when using atleast 2h of app/call/internet usage?

same here, I need to keep charging it. maybe upgrading the kernel and rom helps.

I'm seeing this aswell. The more i use my phone the better the battery gets.

my battery does last 1day 12-15hr. All sync on, mobile networks on, background sync on. Normal use, that is incredible.

well when i first got my IS, the battery life is ridiculously short, from 100% -> 20% in 2 hrs of intense use!
But the battery life is getting better at day 3 (around 5x full charge cycle), do the calibration thing, use till 1%, but make sure phone is not dead, and recharge to 100%, redo for like 5 times.
If battery life still sucks, i think you get a bad battery
My battery lasts 9 hours of intense use (Wifi,3G,Games,Surf net,Listen to music)

Hello
I have installed Battery Monitor Widget Pro to check battery consumption. You can see so which are the applications that drain more your battery, tipically the display.
My battery runs one full day, even one and half with Wifi and BT always ON and normal telephone usage but if I switch on 3G it decrease rapidly and sometimes cannot reach one full day.
So in my case the 3G connection drains a lot.

I've had mine since late april and I get a whole day, at least, out of it. Yesterday, I actually went 24 hours without charging it and I still had 30% left. The only "syncs" that are on, are my gmail, weather and Whatsapp. I can definitely confirm it gets better with time!

has anyone ordered from Amazon.Co.Uk, I was wondering if they can refund for phone, so I can take instead HTC Sensation :/
Anyways, I got this phone like 3-4 days ago, now I'm trying to maximally drain it with apps/games to get that battery life up

sense drains your battery...
and also 3g drains it if you have a unstable connection
what i allways do is out of the box, drain it 100%
charge it 100%
drain it 100%
charge it 100% and your done...
might be a ghost story, but surely seems to work for me, however 12hours and mine is empty as fk, with gaming, bad 3g connection, wifi, gtalk etc.etc. aka daily usage..
but thats cuz im running cyanogenmod, which isnt 100% stable yet

Do people not read anything these days? You're complaining about battery life of a smart phone... None of them last longer than a day or two max. Not to mention it's a new toy and you can find yourself on it more often. Checking the battery constantly kills your battery. Tones of widgets kill your battery.

I do understand about 1-2 days of uptime for phone is ok, but mine doesn't survive even 6h +_+ , contacted HTC and they said that battery is fauly.
ANyways... I dont use widgets and actually turned of all sync and stuff like that to prevent battery drain, even in airplane mode, it drains from 40 to 5% (to complete dead) in about 1-2 hrs

I find battery life pretty poor. After charging to 100%, it can be down to 90% within half an hour - without really even using the phone. I can turn on the phone at 7am, and it will be down to between 50 and 40% by 11pm, never normally enough to get through the next day.
I'm going to try some overclocking to see if that helps.

Overclocking will drain even more battery, downgrade better speed of it and it should save battery

I've found that for the first few weeks of having the phone, the battery life will be crap... cause you're generally always messing around with it.
Lately I've been getting two work days out of a charge (6am to ~6pm the next day). I rooted the phone, uninstalled a bunch of bloatware, and set it to underclock when the screen is off (although I'm having issues with that one at the moment).

I'm thinking to buy other phone instead of this (amazon is accepting this for refund/replacement now), so I was thinking if it's worth take Sensation instead of Incredible S?

[Q] How long does it take to charge your phone?

As topics says and like your battery is under %20 percent approximately how long does it take to get it fully charged

About 1.5 - 2 hours

Mine seems about the same, however if your using the phone wile charging it takes a lot longer, which is strange because there should be enough current to charge and use simultaneously.

1 hour 45 minutes from 25%, also I have juice plotter installed and theres a widget that you can put on your homescreen that changes from time left to how much time it takes to charge when it is actually charging which is kind of neat.

ty i think my phones charge time is increased will try tonight again

3:35 from 0 to 100

yep! for a moment was wondering if there was something abnormal with my phone.

You guys could try a 2 amps charger (such as the one that comes with the ipad), theres some evidence it will charge faster, although not by much.

30 seconds.
(battery swap )
But seriously, about 3 hours from empty to full on the charger that came with it, and about 2 hours with my 2amp galaxy tab charger.

True when I charge my GS2 with my Galaxy tab charger its dramatically faster.

._. there must be something wrong with my gnote then ... it takes around 4h30m to fully charge from around 10%... and even longer if using phone at same time...
I had several smartphones and this one is the one with the worst battery ever ... my dell streak's battery charges faster and even tho it also has a 5" screen, its 1500mAh battery lasts longer with the same usage.
Yesterday my gnote battery took 3h30m to go from 100% to 13% just from playing 2h30m of games and 1h browsing... innaceptable! and I do use betterbatterystats and I have few wakelocks that could be draining battery...
This phone charging scheme is really crappy, as I understand from my use, while charging instead of the charger powering both the phone and the battery at same time, I think it only charges the battery and the phone is always powered by the battery alone...
I din read about it yet, but I almost sure the gnote works like that, cause if i use Skype video call for example, i only get a 1% charge increase around every 10mins, which is really ridiculous ...
plus, while with my other smartphones I could take out the battery while charging it and the phones would keep powered, same thing doesn't happen with the note... battery off while charging, phone also off, which can only mean IMO that the phone is 100% only powered by the battery even when charging...
Besides making it take longer to charge, won't the battery life also decrease that way?..
.

I need your help!!!

So here it goes, this morning by battery is on 100 percent as i have been charging the whole night, as i downloaded using ttorrent pro and using mobile network, after 20 minutes my battery levels drains down to 15, and all this happened while im still charging, and now at this very moment im charging my phone up to 3 hours now and ive just got 46 on battery, and while charging im browsing the net and my battery still drains but only by a tiny bit..

It is not recommended to use phone while on charging (battery point of view), calibrate battery now and hopefully issue will be resolved. Let the battery die completely and then full charge it (switched off if possible).

Battery drains too fast

So, my OB's battery drains too fast...after I unplugged it at 100% it went to 99% within a minute of use and so on...so basically I lose like 1% per 1 minute. WTF?
Using IZS ROM. No widgets. No apps that eats battery, Phone goes in deep-sleep so it's not a problem.

EDIT : Not good to answer after playing Silent Hill.

Factory reset in hidden menu? V30 baseband? How old is your battery?

i noticed that too.
but i must say that even tho it goes down 1% after charge ends, i still see good battery life, at least for me.
yesterday 3/2 the battery drained around 60% in 18h30m of use. i had around 47 minutes of call, around 1 hrs of wi-fi, took few pics with camera.
today 4/2 i didnt see the batt. goes 1% less when disconnecting the charger, plus had few calls no wifi or data use, and more camera use then before and the batt went around 20% less since morning in about 8 hrs total use time.
btw i can i take SS in this rom, i know the zeus v6.4 i pressed vol- and power and it took SS, what can i do now? only dl from market??

Poor battery life?

I have an iPad 3 and a rooted Nook with CyanogenMod on it. Both go days and days on standby, meaning fully on but the screen just off. My N7 which I just got a week ago is totally dead after 24 hours, even if I have not used it at all.
Is this normal?

Mine lasts about two days with minimal use.
Make sure wifi is set to sleep while screen off.

You need to get something like Gsam from playstore. It may tell you if an app is draining your battery severely, or if apps are waking the tab too much.
Also, Cpuspy will tell you if its going into deep sleep. On playstore as well.
Those will hopefully tell you why your battery is draining. I charge my N7 about every other day....maybe 3. Its mostly used to read books, and sometimes some games. So definitely not heavy use. But standby, about 1 percent lost overnight.

Not normal. Just did over 3 days with 6 hrs screen on time. Turn wifi off when screen is off and make sue you dont have any apps running non stop. Better battery thats is a north app for this. Check the partial wakelocks

Hmm ok, I will try to figure out what's going on. I am using MightyText... could that be it?

That not normal at all try suggestions above, mine drop only about 0.2% per hour on standby with wifi-on and screen-off.

Hi
How long does it take to charge the device from 2% to 100. %
Mine is more than six hours, is it normal?

Mine takes 2 to 3 usually. Are you using the cable and charger that came with it? If not, that can play a roll. Also, if something greedy is running, can slow charge times too.

I use the original charger but not the original cable, my be this is the trouble?

Mine drains pretty quick when in use, but if idling, it lasts a very long time. I've seen it not drop 1% until maybe 2-3 hours idling. Heavy usage drains like 1% every 10-15 min.

Same here. Idling last night at 70%. Woke up 7 hours later at 69%(airplane mode) but as soon as I start using, drops super fast.

I think it is MightyText. It seems if I get a text from someone I have not received a text from before it opens a window on the locked screen showing the text and then the screen never goes back to sleep. It stays on until the battery runs out. If I get a text from someone I had a conversation already going with this does not happen.
Pretty weird but it explains why it is totally dead when I would get home from work.

I had poor battery life too,but I've done something that someway fixed that.
I format system etc and reinstall 4.2.2 stock with stock kernel.
After some charging circles here the results

i know if you leave skype on it drains an insane amount of battery...so i keep it logged out now whenever I don't use it

I would have liked to see the main battery status page. See if you did anything with it, or just kept the screen alive for 9 hours? LOL.

I've seen couple of movies about 6 hours using mx player, and about 3 hours WiFi internet browsing using Firefox and tapatalk.
Light is set to auto except when watching movie, set to step 2.
Sync always closed.
Total time from charged to empty about 26 hours.
