Since updating my HD7 to 7392 the battery is dead at 8pm despite me hardly using the phone at all.
Previously, even with lots of use I never got to the critical warning before plugging it in at 11pm.
Sick of this WP7 **** now. Phone still 16 bit colour as well.
Phone is o2 UK but debranded using petbede's method, then official NoDo and official 7392 installed over the top.
Didn't regret not getting the iPhone 4 for a few months but I'm starting to now.
So no-one else affected?
Well, I'm now restoring back to 7390. If this doesn't fix it I'm gonna get rid of this damn phone and god knows what I'll end up with.
Has anyone noticed trade in values for the HD7 have gone to ****? I'll be lucky to end up back where I started on an iPhone 3G.
Have you bothered to recondition your battery? As in charge it full, drain it all the way, then recharge.
If so, contact HTC for a replacement battery. The 7392 was only security patches, nothing is related to battery life.
But if you are too lazy to do that, go ahead. Have fun with your new/old IPhone 3G.
Ive noticed my battery dies alot quicker now to but I totally forgot that I updated my phone until now.lol

Thanks but it's literally gone since I did the update. Previously it would last me the whole day.
I'll try a few sets of charging and draining, but it will be interesting to see what happens now that I've rolled it back to 7390.
I understood it to be the same as you, 7392 is just a security update. But something about the process of installing updates seems to cause battery issues.
I really don't want to go back to an iPhone as when I use my wife's 3GS it seems very dated compared to WP7. But I'm sick of the hassle of WP7 at the moment!

no such issues..... how do u test the screen for 16 bit... my screen looks crisp and hd still...
I noticed this last night.
I charged it fully before going to work at 8pm then time it came to 12:30 i had used over 3/4 of the battery just by web surfing and sending 8 sms.
Mine is a o2 HD7 but running the euro htc rom, i always let it run out and recharge to full.
Im thinking more and more of binning WP7 just a shame my device has afew knocks to it otherwise it would be trade in. Looks like its heading to the back of the draw.

Exactly the same as me, I'm running the unbranded euro HTC rom too.
Did your battery problems start after installing 7392?
One of the reasons I bought into WP7 was the hope of getting the updates and things improving. Never considered the possibility that updates could make things worse.
Ive only been running the update for a week and the battery wasnt that gr8 before hand but last night opened my eyes to how bad since this patch.
I would do a hard reset and see if that helps but as MS left out a way to back-up SMS im a little stuck.
How ever im feeling that wp7 is all its cracked up to be, looking at whats coming in mango is good but i feel the battery may suffer.
Since downgrading back to 7390 my battery life has returned to normal!
Hammered the phone with a good hour or calls today and even now the battery is not dead, it will last till going on charge at bed time.
What the hell is going on with 7392 then!?!
Did you hard reset?

No just downgraded via standard Zune option.
Just saw this update for my phone out and then saw this thread. Are others having the issue with the battery? I will gladly hold off on this update if it really does drain it that much.
Any other confirmations?
I can't imagine the Security update causes this, perhaps a new Radio is downloaded with the update?
I'm on Unbranded Euro ROM and the same OS version 7.0.7392.0 with Radio Software 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U, can someone post their Radio from OS Version 7390?
P.S. I haven't actually noticed any Battery drain since the update. I cahrge every night from about 11pm - 7am and my phone will last untill I put it on charge again at the same times.

I updated mine yesterday and haven't noticed any difference in battery life.
I just uptaded, I will post results tomorrow
battery
First day experience of mine,Battery is dead after 7392 update 15 minute talk 20 sms in 7 hours!I am going to downgrade tonight back previus Rom!
Yeah, I feel this thing too,
The battery are more faster draining than old in my HD7 (O2DE Rom).
Just play few game for a hour and my battery is lower than 20%.
I'm in the same boat...
After the update, not only is my battery draining faster, but my reception actually seems worse (subjective).
I hope we can find out why and get a fix for this sharpish as it's driving me nuts having to carry my charger around with me (quite a heavy user)...
So does anybody who's rolled/rolling back fancy posting their Radio versions to compare?
Hi,
After seeing reports of everyone's awesome battery life, mine seems terrible - it will only last about 12 hours with 2 hours screen on time, just Web browsing and listening to music really. I noticed my signal strength seems poor most of the time, but I have been in rural locations so that isn't necessarily unexpected.
I bought the phone from Fido (Rogers) but unlocked it to use on koodo, that shouldn't make a difference should it?
I'm thinking of sending it for repair /replacement but I really don't want to as my fall back phone is a pos Galaxy Ace II. There shouldn't be much crap running in the background and I've tried a factory reset so I'm not sure what else to do?
Return it.

Install betterbatterystats and see whats causing the drain. Post some screenshots here and maybe we can help you
I had really bad battery on my first X. Called Motorola and got a brand new replacement and have excellent battery now using the same apps. Just get it replaced.
Sent from my XT1053 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
OK here are some screens. The signal is terrible for a lot of it but that doesn't seem to be the problem, just that it doesn't have enough juice.
I probably will return it, which is going to suck. It's an awesome phone otherwise.
I'm using an unlocked Rogers Moto X with Koodo. Having great battery life for the most part. I do find its better running 4.4 (using the AT&T 4.4 release) however to install it you would need to unlock your bootloader which voids the warranty. Cycle the battery another day or two, if that makes no difference then the battery may in fact be bad.

I would like to install 4.4, but as you said it will screw me over unfortunately. I've had the phone 2+ weeks now, I've only just got home to do anything about it so it should have had plenty of time to settle in. Looks like a trip to Fido is in order!

You surely should return it, mine lasts much longer with harder use
Do you have root? Try this:

The install better battery stats or gsam and try to figure it out. If you're running up to the end of your return period, then I guess you should exchange it.
I don't believe that phones have "bad" battery life; you just have to find out what's cause the problem in your particular case.
I am getting similar results all of a sudden. Stock not rooted. I get about 2 hours of screen on time with about 13 hours uptime
Do [either of] you have location reporting on? Look at notro's screenshots, those consistent wake blue slivers "look" like location reporting...
I'm also getting results like these. I got this phone on Craigslist, so I don't know exactly how to go about returning it. I was thinking about sending it back to Motorola since the phone is still under the 1 year warranty. I tried chatting online with Motorola customer service, but they just gave me some tips on how to improve battery life. Any ideas? Thanks.

Post #11 is correct, turn off google location reporting. Turned mine off 2 days ago and the battery is back to where it was with 4.2

Hello,
I came here to ask for help.
i bought this device about ~2 months ago.
firsly i didnt notice it, but as time passed and it got worse i noticed my battery is draining un-logicly fast.
my battery got bad and i had to replace it (it got fat, was some cheap chinese battery).
i got an original LG battery, thought it will solve the problem.
it didnt.
depends on use, my battery drains from 100% to 0% in about 2-4 hours. (depends on 3G on/off, screen on time, if im playing games.)
i downloaded BBS, nothing looks unusual.
still, i tried every solution i found that was suggested in this forum:
I did a factory reset/full wipe.
I froze most of the bloat. (lg stock apps)
nothing help, and the phone is not really use-able with this kind of horrible battery life.
im running stock 4.1.2, 20a.
any suggestions? im frustrated.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.

Why dont you take the phone to service? Do you have your warranty? If you tryed everything else,this is your only solution..
@yoeleli I guess you have got root did you did factory reset after rooting your device? If not then try it if you are using stock rom.

Try a custom Rom and kernel, and under clock the kernel. The way to tell a bad battery is to put it on a flat hard surface, if it lays flat it's still good, if not then it's time to get a new one, this phone notoriously has a bad battery life and we need to squeeze as much out of it as we can which can be a challenge, buy a portable charger will help too!
The more the battery Discharges the more damage it does, keeping it topped up and constantly charging is good. To my knowledge anyways.
see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48894811
Yep we should avoid to drain battery complitly but once in a while dropping to 3-5% and then charging it can be good.

I Bought a new OEM battery a few days before i wrote this thread because i suspected that was the problem.
it didnt help.
any suggested ROMS and kernels?
Bump. Battery is horrible and i dont know which rom should i flash..
i prefer something stockish or aosp/cm. only bugs free is important.
suggestions?
Try cm11 official nightly i am currently on it and i got 2:40 hours onscreen time without any tweaks.You must firat update CWM then download it and flash gaps.I am using dalvik build gaps and rom.

Iv'e heard cm11 got a camera bug, is it true?
Zaiben RC7 is very good in battery and stability. Zaiben modded stock kernel is very good also. You should try it.
Meanwhile? What is your deep sleep percentage?
Try greenify on your most used apps, i helps a lot...
So anyone notice the new included app itson is becoming a battery hog... Over my phones past battery die down this app has used the most percentage.
http://www.itsoninc.com/
Haven't seen this blip up in my usage yet... Don't see it listed in all apps either on my HK... I took the OTA straight from Sprint too...
HK device here also. I dont see it either.
Mine is a non HK. And in all honesty, I haven't seen it pop back up since the post. So weird. Took eta moment it became available.
Edit: I lied. Just checked it right now and it's back. And at 40% usage again. Haven't really been on it today since I been doing some around house projects.
Don't disable it. It will kill data connection.
I've noticed this app in the system/app folder before flashing some of the 4.4.4 roms over these past few days... I've removed it from the zip file before flashing a new ROM and haven't had any issues
Great, I see it now that you have mentioned it. Hope this isn't another Carrier IQ.
I've got the HK edition, no root, 100% stock, only started happening after 4.4.4 OTA. It's currently at 48% usage of my battery, killed it in under 12 hours. Any idea how to get rid of it? I don't see it in apps list anywhere...?
For ha ha's I sent an e-mail here - http://www.itsoninc.com/contact-us/ asking why this is on my phone and how to kill it since it's sucking major battery.
I'm not seeing it on mine are you on contract or off from what I gather it's mainly for off contract customers
Sent from my 831C using XDA Free mobile app
From itson's press release with sprint earlier this year, sprint stated that this app is some how suppose to help customers with the no contract and pre paid variety. Not sure how though.
http://www.itsoninc.com/news/sprint...-to-power-future-no-contract-mobile-services/
I am having this issue. I think its connected to the Sprint Zone app. I have disabled just about everything I can in that app. I will follow up if I see any change. I am sully stock, not rooted, and took the 4.4.4 OTA as soon as I could. The app was responsible for about 48% of battery drain on my phone.
It looks like it is slowly going down. It's now at 44%, but that is still high. Hopefully it will continue to drop throughout the day and then stay low. I don't really care for the Sprint Zone app in the first place, so no love lost with disabling all of it's features. I am guessing the folks who have removed the bloatware aren't having this issue.

Over the weekend with bloatware I did see it, but nowhere near 40%. After removing bloat Sunday I haven't seen it in the battery usage. On my girlfriends H/K M8 I took the OTA last night, so far I haven't seen it pop up yet in battery usage, I'm pretty sure it will though at some point. If so she has no choice, I will root it and fix it!

Yes. I blocked the number via hangouts after I got a few messages in ten minutes.
Very upset to find this app preinstalled on my HK after the 4.4.4 update. I can't even make it through a full day of regular use now, the second highest app using up my battery is Textra at 9%....ItsOn is in the lead with 45% battery drain. Fully stock, no root, and was hoping to stay that way. Now it seems it might be necessary to change that just so I can have a working phone for a full day.
Past couple of days all of a sudden it hadn't shown up us usage. Weird. Under gsam battery monitor though it's still in there. But barely using any power now in comparison to the 40% it was doing
reading the laments over poor Lollipop battery life, i kept on KitKat until 23.4.A.1.200 -- which seems to be the one that Sony nailed.
just updated yesterday. system went through a series of updates, i think five or six. didn't know that for OTA, you actually had to do them incrementally, one after another. system would get done with one, immediately there would be notification of another, and so on and so on until 23.4.A.1.200.
after the first one, the phone got hot. and by the 5th of 6th reboot/update, it was REALLY HOT. never ever felt it this hot. i was really starting worry that i would eventually become a victim of the dreaded cracked glass syndrome.
i've swapped roms on tablets and Samsung phones, without noticing any heat dissipation. and for things like downloading and installing apps with Lollipop, my Z3c gets warmer -- something i didn't notice with KK. surely this isn't normal?
edit: just doing a several minutes of WhatsApp chats ... why is this thing getting warm now?

Well... Ive been using it since it was out (used @moly82 debloat script and some other modifications) and the phone definitly does not get hot. Maybe you should do a fresh install by flashing the FTF with flashtool (you can exclude data wipe... if that wont work try to do a full clean install)? Here is the newer 23.4.A.232. Try that one. Or use Moly82's rom V7.
At least with a clean install you can be sure if it is not related to your phone just being a little messed up (it shouldnt be but well... anything can happen with software).
Hope this might help you
thx. will look into this. i'm based in Canada though ... will CE and Singapore work okay given my locale?
was kind of hoping to keep it stock (my Z3c has been STOCK for 10 months! by far a record for me ... kind of hard to believe, actually), but i was *just* installing an app, and the phone rebooted itself. grrrr.
heat issues, and a reboot: never once had an issue with the phone until now ... hmmm.

If all else fails, perform a factory reset. Also if you reboot a modern phone that many times and update it would obviously get hot
