HTC Desire Battery Fix

Has anyone tried the HTC Desire battery fix and confirms it works on the SGS?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755903
Some people have implied it works but I'd like to know what you think?

Yesterday i was make all from this HTC Desire thread give, except wipe battery stats because i not found this thing in clockwork recovery menu, and i can say , it work for our device too. My Galaxy S battery last pretty better-smoother:
After all, i powered on my device in midnight 00:00, morning about 8:00 was battery 100% too. Standby without APN connection, recieved one SMS only.About 10:30 was 99% have one short about minute,recieved call. On 12:00 make APN conection (2G) and about 20 min was on the internet, some news page, company pages, etc., and battery dropped to 97%, about 14:00 some calls 3-4 min, dropped to 95%. On 15:00 was on the APN about half hour,battery go on 93%. To now on 19:00 hour battery is on 92%...I think this is great thing, beause before my galaxy was from 100% to empty about one and half day....
Next thing i use only when i need it, usualy stay:
1.WiFi off
2.APN only when need Internet(2G), rest is off
3.Bluetooth off
4. Animation off (in Settings)
5.Autorotate off
6.GPS off
7.Network location off
8.Autosync off
Best regards
PS (Sorry if my english is bad)

Just given this a try...will report back in a few days.

I tried it... i didnt notice a SIGNIFICANT change... although i did switch from ryan's lagfix to the voodoo one... so that maybe have had an effect. Overall it feels like the battery life is about the same...

Also no change for me, after 8 hours of use with wifi or 3g on whole time, dropped 35%.

I forgett say, i have stock I9000XXJF3 rooted firmware,newer reflashed any other firmware, none lagfix apk, or other etc. system things apk, expect task manager and startup manager... From 19:00 when a haved 92%, and now on 1:20 i have 89% with 15 minute calling, 4 SMS sended/recived, about half hour internet surfing on 2G, and 10 min play bubbles game. Tommorow i will tried GPS lasting and wifi. For me more than fantastic battery duration...I was Make exactly how read on HTC Desire thread, except wipe battery stats, but reboot i was make from recovery menu, not usualy with on/off button or some reboot apk, becaus, i think maybe battery stats itself refreshed-calibrated !?
Best regards

Well, I did this last night, and my phones battery status is now showing 98% after 11.5 hours.
To be fair, I was asleep for most of this time, and have only brought the phone out of standby a couple of times to check the time.
I also have APN/bluetooth/Wifi switched off, and i'm using only 2g networks.
Still, 2% in almost 12 hours isn't bad is it?

Nope....
I just tried it this morning. I still have the same battery consumption per hour with the same amount of using the phone. So I guess it's not working for me.

Wow, that's seriously amazing guys. No noticeable improvements here. Followed the procedure, it was 100% at 8am. It's 6pm now, and after around 25 texts, 75 minutes of 2g calls and 5 minutes of 2g browsing, I now have 27% battery left. Doesn't seem like anything has improved.
I'm on JM7 with voodoo, btw.

have good succes with disabling power saving mode, so the brightness mode only is, as i set to be, my batterytime has improve significant.

Yeah, and power saving mode on the display is annoying anyways.
This method seems like voodoo (not the lagfix voodoo), but many people on many devices seem to swear by it.
If you're not happy with battery life, get spare parts off the market and look into what's eating up the battery life. Check your data-sucking widgets, wifi sleep policy, screen brightness settings, etc. Get rid of those apps that are mis-behaving and turn down the frequency on widget data.
Wiping batterystats.bin file after a full charge usually helps if you haven't tried that.
Also, if this is your first smartphone with a big bright display and a fast cpu, get used to the fact that the battery isn't going to last as long as your Razr did, not anywhere near as long.
Get a spare battery (the SGS battery is so thin it fits in my wallet without even noticing it's there, get a spare desk charger for your office and keep a charger in the car. Dock/charge the thing when you have the chance to keep the % up while you're away from the charger, and stop worrying over this.
With virtually every new "ROM" I follow on this device and the Nexus One, the first and biggest complaint is usually "battery life sucks" in the early release stage; then the complaints start disappearing as the battery stats get a chance to settle down.

Yes, I did tried that 'HTC Desire' Method.
On my previous firmware JM5,
80% 18hrs
74% 1 Day 1 hrs 47min
And lasted until the 3rd day before I had to plug in the charger. All this with Wifi off and idling most of the time.
For JPC,
The battery level was awful until I applied the wifi fix for JPc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774507&page=5
Currently, my galaxy s is on 28% approaching 3 days (72 hours). So i guess in my case the battery level did improved. All this with playing games, wifi on (off when the screen is off) and movies. So the usage definitely increased, yet the battery still stands strong
Oh and another thing, the brightness level on JM5 was 30 (android lowest). I discovered Dimmer after that, which promptly reduced the brightess to 10 for JPC. That might explain the better battery part a bit

erm why does disabling power saving mode increase the battery life? i thought it supposes to save the power instead? My brightness is already set to the lowest means i dont need to enable power saving mode? wads the difference of enabling and dis-enabling.

Same question. Then why it's called Power Saving mode?

During this mode, the screen's brightness will adjust to the color/intensity of the image projected on your screen. If the image is bright, the brightness will go down in order to safe battery life.
If the image is dark (like most of the SGS's UI) it will increase the brightness because dark colors don't drain as much of the battery.
This sounds pretty confusing, but when you think about it, it makes sense.
I disabled this mode, because i think i conflicts with the automatic brightness setting =D
QuickSettings did the trick for me, if i'm in a dark area i disable automatic brightness and go for the lowest setting (Still brighter than an Acer Liquid or HTC Desire if you ask me ! AMOLED IS GREAT !)

So basically it means that by disabling the power saving mode save the power more instead? As it does nt increase the brightness nor decrease automatically?

I have tried this desire fix and it achieved no improvement at all.
I have heard that the best thing is to let battery drain then charge whilst phone is off.. but its too impractical to do this all the time..
I may be wrong but wasn't someone with good battery life going to share the batterystat file? was there someone mentioning a fix like this?
Also if you have 3 batteries how does that tie into the battery stats file.. after GPS fixing this is now seeming like a big problem, a few people i know and from an Australian forum have been disappointed with the battery life, and some people on here are getting 2-3 days
A guy from work tested it before taking it back and without sim, network, wifi etc got 23 hours in standby.
The website states something like 300 hours in standby? I think that is BS in fact on the samsung galaxy Australian site, they have replaced the battery standby to TBA...
Anyway after samsung took his device and 'tested it' they said the hardware was all okay, here is the new firmware.
As soon as I see him I will report what fw samsung gave him to 'fix' his battery life.
I call shannigans on samsung.... again!

A you sure is not in backgrond AutoSync, or GPS, or Network location is off. And very important make exatly procedure step by step from Desire thread...Im now after 38 hours (day and half) on 70% with my usual using (about hour 2G internet, 30 minute call, 4-5 SMS, and 10 min GPS with network location. BUT ALL MAKE OFF AFTER USING, when go on Standby)....Impresive realy?
I thinking make same procedure with my old HTC Touch Diamond 2...

Charge with phone off while you sleep shouldn't be too hard, unless you need the phone for incoming calls or alarms.
I don't believe batterystats.bin can be shared amongst phones, it's really just a log of your own phone's battery performance, if I understand it correctly.
Three batteries (like you and I have) will almost certainly confuse the battterystats file, unless all three batteries have exactly the same performance characteristics.
300 hours in standby...? Well, those kind of stats are always under "optimal" conditions. Optimal for any smartphone would be to have the phone in 2G only, wifi off, BT off, syncing off, all widgets off, location off, etc, etc, etc; basically just your phone in cell standby and not being used for anything else. My Nexus One, which gets little to no use now, used to last no more than 18 hours as my everyday phone, now with Froyo on it, a few weather widgets, wifi on, location on, etc, etc, it will last several days off the charger. I think we all just use our phones a LOT more than we realize, and that the display chews up more battery than we think.
Looking forward to what new firmware Sammy gives your friend.

This really helped me and I'm dead serious, after flashing a lot of roms and somtimes charging to only 50-70 percent and then disconnecting it seemed that my battery drained way to fast! I followed this:
1: Charge phone whilst on till LED is green.
2: Disconnect phone from charger, power it off.
3: Reconnect to charger with phone powered off and allow to charge till LED is green.
4: Disconnect the phone from charger, power it on. Once completely powered on, turn it off again and reconnect to charger until LED is green.
5: Reboot into recovery with clockworkmod and wipe battery stats.
And now after 5 hours with about 20 sms send/received I still have 93% battery, normally it was like 83 or lower by then, so I'm very happy! thanks for posting

[v1.2] Getting better battery life from your Motorola Milestone

I have just completed writing article on how to improve your battery usage with your Milestone.
http://bit.ly/milestonebattery (google doc, no sign-in required to read it)
Article includes the results and data gathered from a form many of Milestone owners used to submit their own information. The form can still be accessed here.
You can still ask any question regarding battery problems you're having. We will gladly help you out
History:
v1.2
* finished writing document. still updating it.
v1.1
* created google form and added suggested fields (ty 400757 and hefonthefjords)
Thank you everyone who participated (and still is participating) in this project!

Seems to be better to put it on Google form?
Both easier to input and sort out and draw a chart.
What is the objective of the survey? Are you trying to perform data mining on the survey result to derive which pattern is more battery friendly or badly?
I think the battery usage statistics should be included as well? (both the % and time)

You're right on that. I'll try to make a survey with stats at the end. And yes, i'm data mining or struggling to find the cause or more of them, to see, which part of the phone is also the reason of huge battery problem we're having. Its not that we have a million more choices... some also reported bad battery life on 2.1 but i'm not sure this is software related then.. give me a day or so to make it happen then

Form submitted..

good call on setting this up.
form submitted.
you should probably add the question "battery percentage remaining?" after the time since unplugged bit so that we have a more accurate idea of how much use people are actually getting from one full charge.

I want to say something about battery draining of my milestone.
I recharge it until morning then go to work.At 12AM the battery is at 15%.Hmmm.. so i did some research..i updated to Cronos 1.5 ROM and then i did something unuasual.
I rebooted the phone when the battery was at 15% level. When it restarted the battery had 80% power and it lasted till night. Do you have any explanation?

Hm, maybe there's something about it we have in common.
I usually went to bed with 80% of battery. When I wake up, its at 30%. Now, if I start charging it, the battery charging indicator shows as if it would charge it from 80% to 100%.

thank you! This dodged me till now. Had the same experience with battery as some of the guys here.

Okey done!

Hi all,
Form was submitted 22 times until now. There are some amazing stats included with some, that suffered the same problem as I did.
okorn is the winner at the moment, with 15% to go, his phone lasting 40+ hours on Telus Lite (Eclair!), where the longest on Froyo would be more than that (petyo.tsanov) running Cyanogen Mod for 20hours and still having 60% of his battery.
Its too early for any conclusions, but,.. just for info, most of us/you who filled the form did have some kind of sleep policy on (data/2g-3g-wifi).
I'll try to show you all results by the end of the week with all info
ps: Its still not too late to submit your info about Battery drainage at http://bit.ly/motodrain
Thank you!

Form sent.. have a good work!!
=)

GPS test
hiya ! ..
i did a GPS test on a hike last saturday ... with offline maps and oruxmaps set to
record position every 2 minutes ... phone was in flight mode, killed all apps on
startup.
at the end of my hike (approx 10.5 hours), the battery was at 60% and 3818 mV
with time since boot - 10 hours 49 minutes.
this was on stock 2.1-update1 ... i'll be doing a similar hike this weekend ... will
use the G.O.T leak + cyanogen mod beta 0.04-10.11.20 ... shall post results
once done !
cheers !

Hi all. I just finished with my project about battery draining. I've made an article about it, including results.
Check it at- http://bit.ly/milestonebattery (google doc, no sign in required)

Speechless.. you did an optimum work!!!
Hoping it will improve my MIlestone life!!!
Another thing I tried today: I tried to FULLY discharge the battery, and then charging again.
Turned on in the morning from a full charge, my MS fastly went to 50% for lunch time, after middle usage. Then, at 30% this afternoon, I decided to discharge it viewing YouTube with maximum luminosity on display.
After few minutes, 20%, then 15%, 10 and 5. In short words, it decreased from 30 to 5 in 12 minutes.
And then, the surprise: the Stone played YouTube video in WiFi streaming for over 40 minutes, staying at 5% and red led blinking continuosly! So I ask, maybe a big problem of Milestone battery life is just an incorrect reading of the battery level?
Can you try, just to see if it is my only case, or it is a common case?
and thanks again for your work!!!

[Q] [Xperia V] Bizarre and excessive battery drain

Hi!
I'm another owner of the great Xperia V mobile phone. I have it three months ago and I tried the all posibilities and tricks of all threads that I have seen, here and in another forums, but I haven't gotten nothing, so I wanted to ask if there are someone with the same problem or I'm the only that have it.
In the pictures that I attach, it can see the strange battery function... I have got activated the pseudo-stamina mode and while the phone is in standby the curve is flat until I activate it and the battery level falls. This morning when I activated it from standby, the level was 97% and in ten minutes it was marking 87%.
All I have tried:
-Remove/freeze all bloatware that I could
-Disable some google services that I saw here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25974243
-Activate the pseudo stamina mode
-Back to ICS
But none solution found. The currentwidget when is in standby marks 20 mA as minimum.
Any explanation to this?
Sorry for my english.

Mobile Data REALLY EATS OUR BATTERY..
try using your phone with mobile data disabled and see if it still drains quickly..

To my opinion this is typical behaviour for a phone where there are frequent .apk /software / setup changes done.

Thanks but...
I don't made any change in any app and in plane mode, the battery has the same behaviour...
One thing that I observed is that when I turn off the phone and I back turn on the battery level has grew, for example from 18% to 50%...
I calibrated the battery too! :silly:

Ways to improve battery life?

Sorry for the long list of screenshots above, and also for creating a new topic, but didn't want to spam the normal board for battery discussion.
Anyway, I have the N920I model of the Note 5, using it on Telkomsel in Indonesia, and getting average 3+ hours SOT on this device, which I think could stand to be much better, given I got around the same figure on the Moto X 2014, which has significantly worse battery life according to most counts.
Here's my settings:
Screen brightness 60%, auto
Sync on
NFC off
Location high accuracy
Bluetooth on from 8 to 3.30, then off for the rest of the day
Connected to an Asus ZenWatch 2
Wi-Fi on from 4 to night, from plug out in morning to 8
Here's the list of apps I disabled:
And here's how my usage goes:
* Plug in when I wake up, then out at 7-ish.
* Get to school and let My Places switch to "Work" mode, where it changes the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and power saving settings and turn off data before starting the first class.
* Turn it on between classes to check for new messages.
* Leave at 3-ish, and get home, letting My Places change the settings back to normal. At this point, the phone is usually at 70% with an hour of screen on time to report.
* Use it periodically throughout the rest of the day, switching between WhatsApp, Snapchat, Netflix, Chrome and YouTube.
* Plug in at 8 or 9, then plug out before I go to bed, topping up what's left in the morning.
It's a fairly light usage pattern, which reinforces the point that this phone should get more than just 3 hours. Any specific app you're seeing here that might be putting its toll on battery life, or a specific setting that you can advise enabling or disabling?

Just try counting how many threads there are about battery life in this section. A lot! I, being one of the victims of horrendous drains, have tried everything. If you keep the device relatively clean(software) and it still drains then there is only one thing you can do. Wait for the marshmallow. I'm sorry but that's what it means owning a samsung device.

try gsam battery monitor. It may give insight into what is going on....

Already did! But Android OS is always the top consumer.

thanks!

As Octa_core mentioned, there are quite a few threads about battery life already. They might be of benefit if you haven't already looked through them.
Here are a few things you might try, if you haven't already.
- Turn off location high accuracy, or only turn on location when you need it (if you can)
- Turn off location history
- Turn off Always Allow Scanning in Wifi advanced settings
- Turn off S-Pen settings (alerts, sound, vibration, detection)
- If using Google Fit, disable activity detection in settings (this definitely helped my idle drain)
- Turn off anything you don't need to sync on your Google Account
- Disable enhanced LTE services
- Turn off Motions and Gestures you don't use
- Set touch key light duration to Always Off (under Display)
- Turn off Smart Stay
- Set Screen Mode to Basic
- Use a darker theme
- Try disabling some apps, especially S-Finder (may require Package Disable Pro to disable some apps)
- What does your signal look like in GSam? Some drain may be due to poor signal.
If none of that helps, then uninstall or disable (probably will need Package Disable Pro to disable) all apps you installed, and I also recommend that you disable S-Finder. Turn off all radios (location, NFC, bluetooth, wifi, even data) other than cell. Reboot after those changes. Monitor and see how idle battery drain is. After I did this, my idle drain was around 0.4% per hour. Then you can gradually enable radios/apps, only 2-3 at a time, reboot, and see how it impacts idle drain. Continue until you find app/radio that increase idle drain.

General Battery life and optimization

During intensive initial days I get 4-5 SOT and 12h use time. This is with mid heavy usage.
My battery starts today attached:
- over 7h music streaming partially on Chromecast partially bt
- over 1h YouTube (45min in browser)
- 40min Teams video call
- over 30min photos and videos in two camera apps
- 1h of Opera browsing
- Gmail, messenger, maps and all other apps in constant synchronization
- last.fm and pebble running in background
From the list you can clearly see that the only stand behavior is connected to AOD which was over 1%/h so I have disabled it.

Hello
As I understand in my daily use, mixed WiFi - 4g, you can reach 5h.30min ost. Maybe is necessary some adjustments on 4g/5g modem, it sucks a little bit of battery WiFi is the best, the graph is linear.
Attached my mixed 4g/WiFi experience, during today. I forgot kill YouTube, I did 2hr screen total. As you can see in WiFi the graph is linear (untill the middle), while on 4g (2nd half), the curve began to drop more steeply.

Starting to learn how to use this phone.

No complains at all. Can't kill the battery in one day. Most of the screen time is at evenings at lower brightness but I do work so it's my natural usage.

After disabling always on screen, 5G, Google tracking and backup I easily get over 6h SOT and less than 40% battery drain during 24h.
Battery is very good and there's no doubt about it.

I get about 3.5h SOT for 80% battery, no 5g, no AOS, dynamic mode, screen 90hz, no gaming, no apps with heavy drain

I lost 3% over 9 hours last night while the phone was on my bedside table,this was the first night,i think the phone is deep sleeping properly?i have restricted quite alot of apps from running in background

7.5+ hours of SOT is possible. Here I reach 7 hours and 13 minutes of SOT from 90% to 8%. Ultra durable mode, no 5G, no mobile data always active in developer options, all WiFi, and Facebook services disabled. Brightness is set to auto.

To those who's looking for compact phone, superb performance, 120hz display, great speaker, and good battery life, go on with Zenfone 8. Here's my SOT on my Zenfone 8 with force 90hz enabled. Cheers

It looks like the last update improves the battery life quite a bit. Only free hours so no hard claims but the impression is heavy.

The one I got today: 30.11.51.67
I have updated the phone at 70% and got brilliant times afterwards. Over 5:15h SOT and 15h since charged with 20% still left.

Could you please tell me how is the standby drain? Is it more than 1%/h during the night sleep?

I get between 1,3 - 1,8 percent during night in deep sleep. Confirmed by AccuBattery.

thank you for the reply, but could you be more specific? the drain you mentioned is per hour or per entire night?

It's per hour.
You can get probably less when switching off connection of data. I am leaving the phone fully ready as I have used it during the day - just put in ultra durable mode.

Jusr for info, after watching a teardown video I realized he battery is actually 3835mah not 4000 !
