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?
hey guys
in the last couple of weeks ive flashed about 5 roms which consider to be good.
i have to say I really like android but one issue keeps me frustrated
and thats battery life.
how can it be that my friends iphone battery lasts so much more then my galaxy s1?
ive gone through numeros guides decreased brightness to minimum
stopped syncing my gmail account and other stuff as well.
as time goes by im regreting not buying iphone when i had the chance
because battery is one of the most important things in a smartphone.
currently,
i am 25 years old student studying computer science in the university
which means im out most of the day.
its not that rare for me to be stuck without battery and its so frustrating.
i ask for your help please,
what is the best rom for s1 regarding battery life
and has hebrew on it?
(im from israel)
thanks alot mates!
Have you ever calibrated it after flashing?

Dropping to 0% is the worst thing a LI-ION battery can experience.
There are some calibrations methods around, you can try some apps but I think you ROM just needs some time to calibrate the battery sign. Are you running a zillion of apps in the background?
Another option is to buy a new battery with more power. stock battery has 1500mah. but you can get a battery with 1800mah for your s1.
Did you wipe battery stats in cwm?
Disable mobile data or switch to 2G only it helps a lot. Phone will drain battery if you have a bad signal
I have to second the disable the data connection recommend. Also your battery life will get better the longer you use a rom and the more charge/discharge cycles your battery sees. To be clear that does not mean 100%-0% every time just regular charging.
I'm personally on GB and with data disconnected for most of the day and the 1800mah battery I have been on the same charge for almost a week and still have 30% left. It's truly amazing!!

Dropping below the minimum voltage is what you're talking about, and that's not possible because of the controller on each battery. That's why the phone dies when it hits 0% (or thereabouts) even though it still has plenty of power left over to run the device. Running a full cycle on the battery will be just fine.
i rooted my phone and put cm10 rom on it i wasnt really happy so i decided to put the s3 rom instead. all was going well until i started having battery problems. my phone wasnt even running for 1 min it it had managed to go from 100% to 80% then eventually dropped to zero with in 5 minutes. any ideas i have tried hard reset and tried battery calibration .?
do u overcharge ur phone?? or play games or surf on net while it is chargin?? i suggest u to drain da battery to zero n then charge it to full 100% or better way buy a new one! hitt thnx if helpd

i charge phone over night with internet disabbled so thats not the problem
Well if you sleep for 4 hours then your battery should be fine. If you sleep 8 hours your battery must really hurt so bad.

Try a full wipe. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache, wipe battery stats, format /cache/system/data. Flash a stock based rom, power off, charge phone for 3 hours or a bit more & turn it on. There you go...

In few minutes from 100% to 80, in 2-3 hours to 10%, and then 4-5 hours till zero... Also, voltage shows when charged 0,004 V.

let me know if you fix it. anyone else know how long it will take for samsung to fix or send a new one out?
phone was going alright it stayed at 80% for a good 4 hours then i went to play a game and bam shut off straight away got ahold of samsung they wont cover unless got a receipt. then i remember my sister hers about 3 weeks ago so gonnna send it in with that but im not sure how long it will take i need it before jan 2013

Try to come bake to stock GB DDKQ8 as it is latest for our Ace..
downloading it now but i think this maybe a hardware problem not software my 2 options are to send it in or to by a motherboard for 15$ and try that

I don't think that's accurate because the ACE has an internal system to cut the pump once it detects a fully charged batt. After that the current is kept at a bare minimum just to prevent discharge. Very much like modern laptops (and almost everything nowadays)...
still havnt found a fix very interesting that every time i go to task manager i have about 18 aplication open when i havnt opened any also download better battery stats and it came back ar6k_wow as a kernal wakelock and gtalk_async_conn as a partial wakelock not sure if these are contributing to the battery loss
Ok, I must report that it worked:
Rooted phone, battery calibrated, four or five full recharges, about three hours charging, and full discharges, discharging until phone shuts down.
Now battery perform well, voltage is still shown 0,004V, but it doesn't affect battery life.
i have had several chages and discharges and battery callbrations many times didnt work. then i thought maybe my old gio ran the same battery and it did. pluged it in charging is at a normal pace but yet to see it discharge keep use posted tommorow how it goes

Hi,
since a few days, about 10, my N7000 battery life is very short, something like half day or only a little more, it is 1 year old.
I tested 3 different ROMS (full wipe all times) but the result is the same, so I don't think this is due to that, always same modem XLT3.
What can I do to test my battery and to solve?
Is there any app that can tell me the true about my battery?
Can changing radio/modem be a solution? ... I don't think
Get a new battery. One year is pretty much the best you can expect from a Note battery.

Re: Short Battery Life
Change to a better ROM or change your battery. That's the only way
What ROM are you using? You can check it through AnTuTu battery test. And half a day battery life is really very decent for a one year old battery if you're using the phone continuously. You can use apps like greenify to limit background processes and increase battery performance. These are short term solutions as the battery is quite old. So buy a better battery as a long term solution and never overcharge.
faced a similar problem few days back......my note's batttery just gave up.....100 to 10 percent when you use 3g network for 30 minutes. screen flickering....black lines etc.
So had to change my battery...after changing everything is normal. Battery backup is again more than a day
Hello
I wanna ask if a damaged battery can affect performance of my S3 Mini and what's the average time the phone is able to stay charged with a completely new battery. My battery time sucks (i get max 9 hours if I don't do almost anything on my SMARTphone ). So will replacing my battery solve some of the lag on my device and how many hours should I expect from the newly purchased battery with average usage (max 2 hours music, a few phone calls, max 1 hour gaming-small games mainly and sometimes web surfing). Thanks to anyone that replies. Cheers
EDIT : My battery also heats up to 36-39 degrees celsius while just playing Soccer Stars while listening to music from PowerAmp. I think this isn't even close to normal. If a new battery solves all these issues, I'm willing to buy the best one (presumably original by Samsung)!
EDIT 2 : My phone charges from 1% to 50% for about 30 mins
:bump: for help

Maybe you have a super charger joke make sure that your battery isn't swollen. And yes a battery can affect to performance and hardware. If you use very long a damaged battery then it also cause hardware problem. One time this happen to me on my old LG phone. The battery always got more swollen, so i bought a new battery but only 1 month later was the new battery also swollen like the original battery. It was a hardware problem and i still have this phone with a swollen battery
you should use pure stock rom beacuse most of the custom roms have some battery and voltage tweaks which can cause hardware problem if problem persists then replace your battery
Thanks for your help guys. Recently I tried pure stock ROM, but it was the same, plus I kinda love custom ROMs, which have more battery time What would you suggest I buy as a new battery - an original one specifically for my GT-I8190 or the Ace II battery (which is cheaper) is of the same quality as an original S3 Mini battery ? My current one is for the Ace II (it's the second battery I've changed on this phone)!
if the s3 mini battery is not much more then go with that & see if there is much difference

Hmm...
1. Stock ROM
2. Heavy usage
3. Playing games
4. Yes it's normal
I have the same problem before. My mini start to auto off then when it's on, the sound of low battery beeping even i just fully charged. The real solution is buy the new battery..
