[Q]Enabling fast charge - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all I read Qualcomm disabled quick charge because battery life, but I really hate long time charging and discharging with my use it's a nightmare, it's a kernel related afaik I'm using inert one coin rom in AT&T HTC one I tried faux kernel but isn't working, it's any way to enabled? Please? Thanks

I understand what you mean too, because I am trying to salvage the battery life as much as I can, meaning doing full cycle charge and discharge, but I find it hard to do so. Based on my usage, I will probably unplug it around at 60% from charging at 0% or 1%, because it takes so long to charge! So my routine now is to try charge it by switching off the phone when I sleep. It charges much faster when the phone is switched off, but of course defeats its purpose of having a smart phone to be able to receive push notifications, feeds, and emergency phone calls.

The problem arises that you can't always use a wall charger and the few time you can, it's just little bit, that sucks, I use my car with waze or gmaps and seems battery down or maintain instead charge that's annoying I need a fix U.u

When I use mine with Google maps navigation in the car, I enable BT, start nav, and then shut off the screen. I find that my One charges in this situation, even while the GPS, NAV, and network access (Maps uses data to download the maps) are running. I don't need the video anyway, with the BT hooked up.
If I leave the screen on, it will not charge; it will maintain battery levels.
I should note that I have a 110v outlet in my car, and I'm using a stock HTC charger.

i too would also like to know if it's possible to enable quick charge on the One. it seems like the hardware is there but just purposely disabled. i can't believe it takes nearly 4 hours to fully charge the phone. those who don't care about leaving their phone plugged in overnight won't have a problem but that is also not a good idea. to date, this is probably my biggest complaint about the phone. supposedly htc claims they did this to increase the cycles of the battery but just about all other manufactures does the opposite so this doesn't seem to make any sense.

Qualcomm fast charge +1!
It is unacceptable that this phone doesn't have it. I have it on my HOXL and it is awesome, 1.5-2 hours for a full charge. Silly that it takes 3-4 hours to charge this phone.

yeah but what happen when you are out? listen music, meanwhile you commute and you are all day without a charger its a pain in the ass really its my devices i should decide if i want "enable" fast charge, the Cognition rom suposse to enable fast charging in the kernel doing this:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge
not sure if works since that rom lack many stuff that i like but i will try test if "charge" faster

Full cycle charge and discharge (deep cycle) will kill the battery on your phone Li-Ion / Li-PO. Look it up.

Battery problem

Hi,
I just bought my Kaiser 4 days ago.
I am using the bluetooth adn an SDHC card.
My problem is, following: the batter goes every day empty! I unplugged from the charger 4hours (I was using the phone for one our), and the batter is on 34%.
Do you have the same problem or my batter is wrong?
tnx:
Adrián
Wow, really fast battery drain.
No, I dont have that fast drain.
Do you use data connection all the time? Wi-fi? 3G?
Backlight? Power off when device is not used ...
Worth to check.
I switched off the online data connection and the 3G..
I jut pulled off the SDHC card for testing the battery...
I hope it will help..
How often do you charge the battery, and how long do you use the phone per day?
It depends ... between 1 or 2 days ... and I usually charge when it is at 30% - 50%, during evening.
And I use 3G for browsing the internet for now and then randomly also MSN/Yahoo chat.
I suggest to hard-reset, and run your phone without any app installed.
Then see the battery drain.
big source of battery drain for me was the WiFi and the push email.
I have also noticed the battery drains pretty damn fast. Much faster than my wizard it would seem. I am slowly disabling things to see if I can find the source. Otherwise I am calling HTC and getting a new battery.

I think that is not correct. Bluetooth hardly has any influence on the battery drain.
You can leave it on for ever.
But do a test yourselve.
1. Load the battery 100 %
2. Set bluetooth on or of and put your baby to sleep for 8 hours.
3. Check the battery situation in the morning, the first time you start using it. You should, in 8 hours, not have lost more that 4 till 5%.
That is with GPRS and no 3G or HSDPA. I did not test that, but...
You will see that a night with, or without, makes hardly any diiference.
But maybe I am wrong.
My personal experience is that using GPRS ( Phone=GSM only) is the most efficient. Especially if you have Messenger on the whole time.

Hi
When Bluetooth is on the device will not go into standby even if the screen appears dark as Bluetooth needs the OS to be alive to work, so if you have programs loaded that are using CPU cycles the battery will drain quickly as these programs will run continually.
Regards
Phil
The only thing that I am saying is that my phone, in 8 hours, with bluetooth on, uses max 4% of battery drain. With blutooth off I see no difference.
The phone is in sleeping mode, so people can call me. What else can I say?
So I cannot say that Bluetooth drains my battery faster. At least not visible to me.
I tested did a long time ago with several systems. the last one, before my Tytn II came was on blootooth its whole life. And now again I see the same at my little kaiser.
Huib
P.s. and then this.
I see as standbye the situation, that I only can switch it back on with sliding the keyboard or the power switch. If other keys do not react, is in't this standbye? The rest of the discussion I prefer to leave to better specialists on this forum

For Best battery life you should make a false Push email and set it to check manualy there is info on google about how to do this. thats only if you dont use exchange. Also NO bluetooth yes it does suck lots of juice! Also make sure you dissable the IR connections that also sucks juice. there are also power saving reg tweaks in the registy that you can find in the Wiki
There is no I/R in Kaiser, and BT standby seems to draw very little. I leave mine all the time, I loose about 5% battery overnight. WiFi is a completely different story, it's a power PIG.

I still disagree.
When bluetooth is just ON and not connected to any device it hardly consums power. (IMHO)
Do a simple test and let it on for a night sleep with and without bluetooth.
When connected to a headset or whatever it of course consumes.
Pls tell me the difference.,

I have had my TyTN II since Tuesday the 25th - so only 2 days now. I pulled the phone out of the charger at 6:50am this morning. I have WiFi turned OFF (only use at night when I am surfing while watching TV). I have BlueTooth off. I do have BB Connect installed and running with 1 BES account and 3 BIS accounts. I was on the phone for maybe 5 total minutes so far this morning - and I surfed for like 10 minutes via EDGE on the way to work. I do have SPB Mobile Shell 1.5 installed, but from what I read it doesn't effect battery life. I have the unit set to shut the screen off after 2 minutes....and my LCD brightness is at like 70% or so.
With all this - as of 10:35am this morning - I am already down to 75% battery. At this rate, the phone will be dead before 5pm....! Not even a full day.
Man - I hope this gets better because I can't run my life with phone plugged in half the day just so it will last me!

[Q] Nook battery dies fast

I only have 5 widgets, and my brightness is also low as possible. I have wifi off when i don't use it, but my battery still dies kinda fast. Should i delete cell standby? And what else can i do?
You really should define "kinda fast" so folks can answer objectively

1) Which ROM

10% in 20 minutes (screen on, in use) is pretty aggressive.

What drain are you seeing with screen off/idle?
with the screen off for about 5 hours i saw a 21% drain.
Drop the widgets and livewallpaper if you've got it. Retest standby.
If you're getting high battery drain during standby your nook isn't going into deep sleep and chances are that background overhead translates to poor efficiency at idle when the nook is on as well. Couple poor idle efficiency with CPU intensive work while in use and your overall battery life is terrible.
If you're forcing the nook to stay out of deep sleep for other reasons like keeping wifi alive then you may be stuck with living with some sort of elevated drain but you can minimize it by reducing idle overhead by keeping widgets to a minimum and refraining from using live wallpapers and other background services that aren't critical.
Tacking on to here rather than starting a new thread...
My Nook Color rooted, but still on stock ROM goes from 100% charge to 25% in about 8-9 hours with zero usage. Obviously something's going on (I suspect it's that I have Advanced WiFi sleep policy set to never and am away from WiFi), but no other widgets running. I do have Google Voice app installed.
What I'm curious about is what would normal standby battery drain be? What would be typical after 8-9 hours of just sitting untouched in my brief case?
Thanks in advance!

I believe typically overnight you should see less than 10% drain.
In CM7 at least, in Spare Parts you can see what uses the battery while the NC is asleep.

No, not yet. It's 100% stock, other than rooting and downloading apps. I'm going to put SystemPanel on it and see if it gives a clue.
I've got a good idea of how to track down battery issues on most android devices, I was just mostly curious what the typical drain other rooted users saw was.
Thx for the suggestions to all.

Good lord, this isn't going to help anything. Normal Nook Colors on the stock ROM (and kernel....) use about .2%/hr in standby.
Clearly something is running wild on this guys NC, and needs to look at Spare Parts. Install it from the market.
System Panel as well as other tools can help as well.
Okay, I'm a pretty smart guy usually, but I'll publicly put on the dunce cap and admit to my ignorance on this one.
System Panel actually showed some amazingly good lack of drain with all my apps running.
The reason my battery was so low when I checked it each afternoon is because even though I thought I was charging the thing over night, I wasn't. I was using a regular micro-usb cable for my phone to plug the thing in most nights.
Turns out the Nook Color has an extra deep micro-usb receptacle and requires a better endowed male plug to get it charged properly.
Lame...
(Lame of me, but also lame of B&N to make such a design decision. What were they thinking? I HATE proprietary connectors.)

Extra WIDE, not deep. And there's good reason USB standards are .5A over the typical 4 pin connection. The B&N cable has FOUR extra pins, delivering the other 1.4A of power.
Extra deep. Two stages...

Thanks for the extra info about the additional voltage; so it will charge much faster this way? (rhetorical question)
I still am annoyed at yet another non-standard cable that I'll have to carry around with me when I travel to keep various devices charged, but in the scheme of things it's a minor annoyance. Stuff like this should be standardized, IMHO.
And it's extra DEEP, not wide. It's the same width as a standard micro-usb cable or I wouldn't have been able to stick my phone's charging cable into it at all, but I was able to, it just didn't go in deep enough to charge at all. On the flips side, the B&N cable fits into my phone, but only inserts half-way deep; if it were extra wide it wouldn't fit into my phone at all.

[Q] Xperia T battery just not there, advice?

I love the phone but battery performance is poor. I installed BBS. Enclosed a screenshot. I'm not rooted so can't look into alarm details. Makes me sad. LTE speed amazing but how can you enjoy phone if recharging once during day? Any advice greatly appreciated. I have disabled anything extraneous that I could
I'm using 2x.battery pro right now. Tried all the others too.
The same app set on my Xperia U has none of these battery issues.
Just charge in overnight, I don't see the problem in that. Then you won't have any problems.

charging continuously over extended periods can cause battery failure also heavy use of the phone whilst charging can damage the battery and as the T is a solid phone (cannot change battery) id recommend having it turned off whilst charging that way it will fully charge and you wont damage the battery more .... also try turning data connection 3g wifi etc etc off when your not using it as they can drain the battery a lot checking for facebook ,gmail and almost all your other apps , also listening to music and using bluetooth use more battery too
AW: [Q] Xperia T battery just not there, advice?
1. is that avast installed? Remove it. Useless anyway if you'd ever need it and only uses resources if yu dont need it.
2. battery surveillance crap? Remove it. Known to be very prone to cause wakeup.
3. Update your system, .3.195 is not the latest available.
4. About 5000 wakeups by what looks to me a failing google backup. A wakeup multiplied by 3-6 seconds on-time equals 15000-30000 seconds. Thats 5-8 hours. Thats like what the battery can give. Something is ****ed up, I suggest a fullwipe and start over from scratch.
Oh, and never mind that crap about turning all services off and totally rendering your device useless. Correctly setup the T (TL...?) lasts for a whole day with quite some abuse. And I simply dont trust the minimally booted kernel not enough to correctly regulate charging current and keep the voltages and temperatures in check. I trust the fully booted and full fledged kernel more in that regard. And turning off your device to make it use MORE battery after turning it on in the morning because it needs to go and sync all services again, check all data and find out if anything in the cloud got updated in the meantime and most importantly, needs to run the media scanner again, a very battery hungry process...? No thanks. I'll leave it on. And if that would make me feel bad, I'd use the flightmode as a maximum measure. Still better than killing the device alltogether.
Seems like to me that you might be using loads of craps that you don't need mate.

[Q] Phone impossible to turn on if battery is empty

When i run my phone empty (1%) and it turns itself off, when i put in on the charger it's very difficult to turn it on!
its very annoying! is there a trick to make the phone turn off with 2 or 3% battery left? that way you will be able to turn on the phone the minute you charge it.

Yeah well, you know this, but yet you let your phone drain till that level, you're just asking for it. It's also bad for the battery to let it drain till that point. You can let it drain till that level but not too often.
For you it might not be a good thing, but such a system is actually better for the phone.

You are not really helping are you....
this happens to me daily, because the phone won't last an entire day. not if you use it as much as i do. And i use greenify, stamina and turn off wifi etc. so battery saving isn't the solution.
I was just asking if it is possible to make it turn of sooner (which would be better for the battery right?) then at 1%

Well it is supposed to be not even good to let the battery drain fully. It says to almost empty by like 5% u should charge it. Os Ur own fault u let it drain until it is dead and then complain it won't turn on. Hmm of it is empty it makes sense doesn't it?

Not one to stir an argument, however you're saying you don't constantly check your phone whilst at work. Why do you need it to constantly sync stuff? The way I see it (And forgive me if I'm getting ahead of myself) if you aren't checking your phone, why do you need it to sync so much? The easy answer is to not have it sync as often.
Whilst in principal I understand your question, I just don't understand why you have it syncing so often if you aren't checking it that often? My XZ is checked regularly and I have atleast 30% battery 15-16 hours after unplugging from overnight charge. I sync every 6 hours on weather, 30 minutes on Twitter, manual for Facebook, Gmail every 15 minutes I think, WiFi is off when not in range and I do internet surfing/calls/texts/whatsapp etc at will.
Whilst I'm not a prolific battery user, I certainly use the phone more than average (based on people's own phone usage claims).
If you aren't checking your phone (which you would be seeing the battery anyway) why not change to manual syncing as it'll only connect when you actually have chance to check the phone....
As for the answer to your conundrum, I agree it would be better to have it shut down sooner I.e before its critical; you're right about how long a drained battery seems to take to have enough juice to turn it on.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Yeah Ur phone should easily last a whole day if u don't check all the time and I agree u don't need to have everything syncing constantly. Like every hour maybe for Ur emails? I don't know I run 5 emails and they sync every hour. Besides Gmail that does it automatically. And I have kik and whatsapps and still get easily a day out of it. If u don't check Ur phone often then I do not know how Ur battery can even drain that fast and why Ur stuff has to sync constantly. I am puzzled.

HTC ONE serious battery draining problem

Hello, i have my htc one a couple of weeks now and from the first time i noticed paranormal battery drain activity!
So first i tried to turn everything off it didn't help, more analyticaly:
Energy Saving Mode = On
Beats Audio = on
Brightness = 1st of the three brightness modes
Wifi = off
GPS = off
Location Services = off
Accounts Sync = all off
HSDPA = on and off after done using data
Apps running in the background = i closed each and every one immediately after done using them
Blinkfeed = completely off
Then I tried to reset battery memory by completely let the battery discharge and recharge overnight twice, i have seen no improvement.
When i surf or facebook i can see the battery meter to drop down 1% almost every 2 minutes or so, some times less with the above mentioned settings.
Also i have noticed that in standby with everything off there's still significant battery drainage.
I kept the best for last, just 10 minutes ago while connected on my computer via usb cable, fully charged at 100% with green led on top for more than an hour i just did a reboot, and after the reboot with the usb cable still connected i saw the battery 99% ?????? After what, a reboot and still connected to the usb and charging ? WTF?
Device info:
HTC one 32 gb bought from Vodafone Greece
android version 4.2.2 stock
software version 2.24.401.1
kernel version 3.4.10-g445d072
On top of that, it seems that my device also has the blue ghosting noise camera bug on low light enviroments.
My emotions are like; I love and hate this phone at the same time.
I'm afraid using my phone's capabilities due to serious battery drainage!!
Any thoughts ?

Try this app to see if you have an app installed that is draining your battery.
My first One had a bad battery - would only last for half a day.. the phone I have now lasts a day or more.

Try this app to see if you have an app installed that is draining your battery.
My first One had a bad battery - would only last for half a day.. the phone I have now lasts a day or more.

Hello, i agree that the word Abnormal is way better but on a humorous note paranormal suits better don't you think?
an advice: use gsam to get objective battery stats, a good battery life should be around 5+ hours of screen

With stock? Holy Damn that's crazy! I get 2.5 on a regular day. 3 with continuous use. Should I do a factory reset?
I get 5+ hours screen time but not if it's a day full of voice calls.. all based on how you use the phone!

it depends on how you use your phone and how much time it has been turned on. If your phone has been on for more than 24 hours then 3 hours of screen is fine. But yeah maybe you should do a factory reset and install gsam to monitor your battery stats and the apps that are sucking your battery. I have noticed that facebook chat drains the battery too fast.

I think you live in a sunny place, if you do than 2.5 hours is sort of normal at full brightness, if you want 5 or longer you need to set the brightness way lower but I think that sort of dimishes the beauty of the screen, enjoy it on auto-brightness

What nonsense?!
70% of my screen time is medium. I rarely use my phone in the sun.
I usually get around 2.5 screen/<14 total hrs. That's not normal? My phone's not set up right? Yay!
Or maybe it's the facebook. My auto sync is off, but I will disable the FB apps and see how that goes.
I actually do have GSAM, and it tells me that my kernel uses ~25% of my power. Android system is usually ~15%. Is that normal? If so, I may try a backup/reset.
Screen uses ~10% of power and main app is Chrome, with little to no Maps/Voice in a day.
A quick report after factory reset seems like that my battery is somewhat normal
1day 7hours and I still have 34% remaining
Use: half standby half normal use
I have the Dev Edition 64Gb One and I'm getting just 12 hours! I have autobrightness on, Greenify taking care of all the apps I don't use so frequently, not using maps/location services. I noticed each time I enter recovery, I have like 4% less than what my phone says and if I turn it on I have now what the bootloader said! Weird, and I was shocked to see this when I red a lot of people were having fantastic battery life.
Also, as I'm so lucky, mine has the blue/red thing in the camera, and a small gap in the top. It seems I got the All-(Problems)-In-One One..

Try with InsertCoin + Elemental kernel, with no pocketdetection or sweep2wake etc. and the recommended undervolting in the aroma installation
That gives me like 5.5 hours of screen with the phone turned on for 20+ hours and wifi: 6+hours, all of this with an average usage
hello again I noticed a rather peculiar thing regarding battery drainage.
couple of days ago when I reported that my battery was somewhat normal I had my phone charged with energy saving mode off I charged this way two times since the factory reset. Everything was normal I was able to get one+ day of use. Yesterday though I charged my phone with energy saving mode ON and I immediately noticed abnormal battery drain as before.
Can anyone with battery drain problem try to fully charge their phone with energy saving mode off and post their results?
I have a strong feeling that there is a bug or something.
My problem is, the phone is fully charged. i disconnect the charger and a few seconds later the battery is between 96% and 93%. I connect it to the charger, charge it back to 100% (led green) disconnect it, and the same happens again.
I already let the Phone discharge to 1%. The same happening again.
Someone any idea? thx
Same problem here, just sent it in to HTC for camera repair, got it back. Then battery problems. Sent it back because of the battery, still crappy. 32GB Unlocked. I get 10 hours at most on idle, everything off.

Hello, i have my htc one a couple of weeks now and from the first time i noticed paranormal battery drain activity!
So first i tried to turn everything off it didn't help, more analyticaly:
Energy Saving Mode = On
Beats Audio = on
Brightness = 1st of the three brightness modes
Wifi = off
GPS = off
Location Services = off
Accounts Sync = all off
HSDPA = on and off after done using data
Apps running in the background = i closed each and every one immediately after done using them
Blinkfeed = completely off
Then I tried to reset battery memory by completely let the battery discharge and recharge overnight twice, i have seen no improvement.
When i surf or facebook i can see the battery meter to drop down 1% almost every 2 minutes or so, some times less with the above mentioned settings.
Also i have noticed that in standby with everything off there's still significant battery drainage.
I kept the best for last, just 10 minutes ago while connected on my computer via usb cable, fully charged at 100% with green led on top for more than an hour i just did a reboot, and after the reboot with the usb cable still connected i saw the battery 99% ?????? After what, a reboot and still connected to the usb and charging ? WTF?
Device info:
HTC one 32 gb bought from Vodafone Greece
android version 4.2.2 stock
software version 2.24.401.1
kernel version 3.4.10-g445d072
On top of that, it seems that my device also has the blue ghosting noise camera bug on low light enviroments.
My emotions are like; I love and hate this phone at the same time.
I'm afraid using my phone's capabilities due to serious battery drainage!!
Any thoughts ?

Go to setting>mobile data>network mode select something else than LTE and reboot your phone. Then select back Lte and reboot your phone.I had the same problem. I found this on other forums and this helped me a lot.
I have a HTC One 32 gb Three UK.
I have exactly the same problem with the high drainage.. before I could get easy 5-6 hours screen on throughout the day. now it even don't lasts a half day.. no change in my apps or settings/kernel.. really weird problem. I think it has to do with the hotness of the Phone and the purple camera fault. Don't know what to do anymore!
