Hey, I'm on my 2nd Hero, and this is starting to annoy the hell out of me! Almost every call I have, I can hear my voice a second or two later through the phone. It's like I'm too close to someone while using walkie-talkies. It's highly annoying.
I work in a fast pace job where I need my phone to coordianate people and fast, so when I call them, And I say something, they answer, but I also hear what I just said repeated to me and over them, so It's annoying! Is there any way to fix this? Is this even an issue for anyone but me? Like I said, this is my 2nd Hero, and the 1st did the same thing, so I'm hoping it's not me, and the phone can stop doing it. Thanks for the help.
BTW: Sprint Hero, 2.1 stock HTC rom, running OC Kernel (forgot which one).
I'd like to know this as well because darchs last rom did that for me too? Hmm hardware?

I think so, or a core software component, because I'm on a stock ROM...
just got off the phone, and it did it, not as bad as last night, but still pretty annoying.
is this a known issue?
I've had that happen to me on other phones, but never this one. I always thought it was a signal problem or something, not really the phone
That can happen when your/their phone is tapped.

Any one use this app? I feel it helps greatly when the phone is asleep. When I first install it it tells me aosp was installed but cannot be enabled. Anyone have any idea what this is/does and how it affects my phone. Also had anyone upgraded to ultimate juice? Is it worth it?

Am also interested in this for the vibrant.
oo whats juice defender do?
I use it. Hard to say if it's really doing any good. All it really does it adjust your settings (limited with free version) to prevent unnecessary battery leak. I'm not sure though if it's doing anything that I wasn't already doing WITHOUT the extra app on my phone.
I'm going to give it a few more days and see. I want to like it. Besides, it makes my notification bar look like festive.
Looks like it's helping for me. Sometimes I feel like my email doesn't properly update during the little 1min window though. I see emails on my phone later than I think I did before.
I don't recall that msg OP posted when I installed but I am also wondering if it is worth it to buy.
the free version seems like its doing its job for me. got more hours out of my battery today than i did yesterday.
I feel it helps the most when I make a phone call. When the screen is off so is data. Before JD the battery would drain like crazy. Now I only lose about 1% from making calls. I get more battery. I'm curious about ultimate though. Would it help that much more

can we use in my Sony X10 ?
Question....I just bought a vivid (missed sense shame on me I know) anyway, I've been 33 mins on battery and my phone went from 100 to 85%. Just checking my facebook and such...
It also discharges by 2% every 5 minutes to 10 minutes. This isn't normal right ?
Thanks in advance for your inputs

no this is not normal...are you running stock or custom rom? Mine will run down maybe 3 bars in 3 hours...not a half an hour...somethings amiss there

Thanks for your reply wild child.
I'll see about getting the battery replaced, I tried your Rom and it was the same issue with the battery, I'm currently running rumraider with banana's kernel.
Stock did the same thing. With lag
I'm going to see about getting another battery...see if that helps.

I'll go there today and report back .
I really appreciate your help, also read a couple forums on some drama, glad you're still sticking around the vivid forums. You and everyone else who are very helpful to those who need your help like me and appreciate it

Wasn't aware you can run a different kernel on rumraider's rom.
so I called AT&T they don't have "batteries" for the vivid, they want to go to a store that can troubleshoot bla bla bla.
So I just ordered a pair of "1870mah" (I know they're not really 1870) off ebay for 23 dollars but im sure they'll be better than this battery right now.
@strose - I tried it, works really well, havent encountered an issue yet. also using system tuner pro to UV -45 at the moment and clocked at stock speeds since everything is smooth.
How many charge cycles have you been through? I ask because you said you JUST got the phone. My first few charges were dismal, but now this is pretty much typical unless I'm making a lot of voice calls:
Hot damn, that's great life there. 2 cycles. Yesterday. To dead, full charge died by night, full this morning. Now I'm on this charge.

OK, I know the battery life issue for 4.2 ROMs has been beat to death, but I've got something weird happening with AOIP on my phone that doesn't happen with other ROMs.
Basically, when I'm at work, the battery graph (from Battery Monitor Widget Pro) looks like in the AOIPbattery image attached below.
As you can see, it ate all but 3% of the battery in about 11 hours. At times Battery Monitor Widget Pro indicated it was using the battery at 11%/hr or more! This is while I'm at work, and the phone is not doing anything, just sitting on the desk with the screen off, connected to a wifi network but not doing anything with that either.
After a few days of that, I decided I needed to try something else. Originally was going to go back to my "old reliable" backup of 4.1 Rootbox, then thought instead that I'd try the last build of 4.2 Slimbean I still had as a backup. Restored that and got all my current data for the apps reloaded, seemed to be working fine (though still had the stuttering and dumping of apps issues, which was why I wuit using it). Thing is, it's using battery not much faster than the Rootbox one did. See the SlimbeanBattery image to see how it did at work. Same scenario (sitting on the desk, connected to wifi, screen off almost all day). The little bit of high usage was while I was at lunch, reading some web pages and rss feeds, so the screen was on for about a half hour.
So, I'm wondering what the heck is making it use batter so fast on AOIP? I tried several things before switching to Slimbean. Airplane mode made no difference. Used Wakelock Detector to see what was using it up, and it was some part of Android OS making AlarmManager go nuts with wakelocks.
I even backed everything up, factory wiped it a couple times, then loaded the base AOIP 6/3 ROM and loaded GAPPS to see if it still did it.
Nothing seemed to make any difference.
In one sense, I'm hoping the new build that keeps getting hinted at might correct some of this, but I kinda doubt it considering how everyone who brings up battery issues usually gets treated.
That's normal for 4.2 Roms

I see your point, why does one 4.2 room use that much more battery life then the other, it makes no sense to me. Maybe camcory can shed some light in this issue
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
That's how my battery life has been on all 4.2 Roms. If aoip is worse for you then most obviously you need to switch Roms.

I really was hoping that you would see that there might be something wrong with AOIP and take a look at it at least, and not throw out the same tired response. While I do appreciate the work put into AOIP, forum thanks have not happened due to the refusal to notice the glaring issue that everyone else does.
I would really like to know if you even read my post, Smartguy? Seems not or you would have noticed that AOIP in that scenario eats battery three times faster than another 4.2 ROM. Why?
I'm not trying to upset anyone, just trying to hopefully get this resolved in an amicable manner.
Some people don't have battery drain issues that bad with AOIP. You should keep in mind that this phone was never intended to run anything above gingerbread. Every one of these phones handles issues differently, which is unfortunate, but if a Dev doesn't have the same issue it is hard to address. Its just how it is.

Yes I read your post I wouldn't respond if I didn't. I have ran all the 4.2 Roms and with all of them I might get 10-11 hours of life. So no I don't see a problem with the ROM and if you do use another one.

Wow hard to believe (well not really) this horse has been beat to death more times than a cat has lives! I'm pretty happy with battery life for the performance and OS I'm getting with AOIP. No hiccups and I have access to all the latest android features. The phone has a small battery anyway so if you want better battery life, time for a new phone or switch to a Gingerbread OS. I charge the phone once a day typically so that's hardly an inconvenience.
Thing is there is something major different in AOIP, as I can typically get just over 24 hours out of this battery in anything other than AOIP, including while I'm at work where the battery usage is a little higher than at home in every ROM I've tried (4.1 and 4.2 based included).
AOIP for some reason eats battery at more than 10% per hour only when I'm at work (less than 3% per hour at home) even when I haven't loaded any apps.
Every time I look at what is using it, it is either "cell standby" or "android os" that is using the most with the other of those two second and the screen usage following in a distant third.
I've tried to figure out what specific item in those two are the source, but it always comes back to some generic service or component in the os that is used by almost everything.
Really any advice to try and improve this, other than "use another ROM", would be appreciated.
Try putting your phone in airplane mode while at work and turn on WiFi. That might help with eating the battery. Especially if where you work had a poor cell reception
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
get a new battery. i dont know what else to tell you. if you are getting 24 hours out of every other 4.2 rom youll be the only one. as i stated i get 10-11 tops on ANY 4.2 rom. so you have 2 choices new battery or different rom
Best thing to to is kill background data turn off Bluetooth WiFi sync and locations when not using your phone for a couple of hours. But your best bet would spring for an 2900mh battery.

im going to vote you get a new battery if its that big a deal....:good:
go back to gingerbread OS. we gave you suggestions already. 1) new battery. 2) gingerbread OS. simple as that
I just don't understand this. Why is it that everyone refuses to see that there might be something wrong with AOIP compared to other _4.2_ ROMs?
I wasn't complaining about battery life on 4.2 ROMs, just noting that ONLY AOIP has this issue that I saw.
All other 4.2 ROMs used less than half the percent per hour as AOIP.
Telling me to just buy a larger battery when I don't have the money for it is not an acceptable answer. Neither is telling me to go back to the crapload called "gingerbread", whose only advantage is battery life, at the drawback of making everything else run like crap.
Guess I shouldn't have bothered, since it seems the developers may be able to code, but sure could learn a thing or two about listening to others with valid issues they should be addressing in their code.

maybe you can code in a "battery fix" and share it with all of us.
Just use a different ROM. Jesus Christ!

It didn't matter what I installed or didn't install. Once I got the phone at work with AOIP on it, it ate the battery three times faster than any other 4.2 ROM. One time, to rule out anything I was setting or loading, I loaded AOIP, gapps, then put in my account info and disabled auto updates with nothing else changed. It still did it.
As QA software tester, I know how to identify software issues and bugs. The only explanation for what I have happening is there is something going on with AOIP itself to cause this. Like I've already demonstrated other 4.2 ROMs only use the battery a little faster than RootBox 4.1 (RB about 0.6%/hr vs slimbean 4.2 using 1.1 to 1.5 %/hr) with that screenshot in my OP. AOIP uses about 2.5 %/hr at home but over 10%/hr at work.
In any case, it's quite apparent now that this little group of ostriches with their heads still stuck in the sand isn't interested in hearing the truth, so consider this a closed thread.

Hi all,
I just got my HTC ONE few days ago, and I feel like my battery life is not really good.
I have the Tmobile version, does anyone know if the stock rom is consuming lotta battery?? Mine can only last one day about 15hrs only normally.
Also, I am planing to root the phone, any good thread do you guys recommend?
Many thanks!!!
15hr battery life is pretty good

Here is a great link for unlocking, rooting, and installing a custom ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792
I have been running the Android Revolution ROM since I got the phone with a few more mods through the Xposed Framework. I get excellent battery life (full day with heavy usage) and am able to do pretty much anything I want with the interface.
My battery life is a little under 8hrs this is because i watch movies while in transit play games, read books and such. But if i go low power with powersave mode and use my phone like a normal person i can go the whole day with my phone. I'm using Viper Rom 2.0 with Elemental X kernel clock at 1.9

Look in the Play Store for - Greenify, that will help extend you battery life if set up correctly, and it is quite simple to use
you could always enable the "battery save" option in settings
