Hi everybody, i've noticed recently that, even if i charge my phone every 2 days, in the "power consumption detail" section, into "battery" menu, it doesn't count correctly the "Used since last full charge" time. Example: charged on the afternoon of April 2nd, so now, in the afternoon of april the 4th, there should be almost 2 days of use but the counter says it has been only 1 day and 12 hours starting count on April 3rd morning when i turned it on (even if in the evening of the 2nd i used it after full charging it).
Has anyone had the same "issue"? I'm not sure if it started after the Google security patch of February or March, thank you!

Since two weeks i have officaly upgraded my HD7 Firmware to the latest one with Internet Sharing. Since this date, my battery life is very short. Before the Update and with 100% Battery Power, i have 1 Day, 9 hours Time, after the Update with the same Battery Level only 16 -18 Hours.
Today i have downgraded to the last state via Zune an voila, now i have again 1 Day, 9 Hours remaining time with 97% Battery Level.
For some minutes i have written a mail to HTC Support and will wait for a response. Can anyone here report the same problem?
I'm having the same problem

Hello bilbo_b,
I seem to be experiencing the same problem as you are. And I have been searching everywhere for an explanation for this problem. I think it is really more of a software bug showing the correct/wrong values (at the moment i don't know which is showing the right values). Before the update, it was showing as mentioned, 1 day and xxx amount of hours. However, I found that it is not really accurate because it seems like although the values shown are different, I am actually having the same amount of uptime.
Has HTC replied you?
Regards,
Jiesen
Yes, they have replied, but not es expected. The supporter means, that there are new features in this new firmware and i must live with a little cheaper akku load. thats a shame. that are 15hours difference, thats not a short time of some minutes or one hour!. Again i have replyed to the support mail, that im not exited about the situation. the next response was a mail with some energy saving tips (disable WLAN, disable GPS and so on...). There was now a direct response, that they will investigate in to the problem. Thats the actual state since yesterday evening 6:00 pm German standard time.
what i can say is: it is not only a bug showing incorrect values. it seems that the showed times are most correct. my device has a real shorter life per day with the FW Update. I will wait now for new response from HTC.
I see...Seems like the only way to have longer battery life is to do nothing on the phone. If that's the case, then why have all those features right? LOL. I did try to talk to the customer service of HTC too. They told me to try a battery test i.e. turn off all services (turning on airplane mode), turn off all syncs etc. change the display to BRIGHTEST and screen lock to NEVER, from a full charge. If the battery goes below 60%, I am supposed to send in my device for a repair.
I have done that and it did not go below 60% but close. I guess that just rules out the possibility that it is a hardware issue. However, it does not really explain our problem here. . Looking forward to your updates! thanks bilbo_b
After getting no wise answer from HTC, i have updated my HD7 again. This time the 7740 Update and the HTC FW Update together (last time the 7740 was not available, only the FW). After Updating (which takes some more time as before) my battery was 100% and i have 1 Day and 11 hours remaining. i will see what going on the next days. i will watch this.
I gave up and finally decided to flash a custom rom. I have also just started using anker battery with a 1300mah capacity. I will let you know how it goes.
The battery works at the moment. all is fine. i hope this is now permanent. i will watch it further.
Edit 1: After 1 Recharge, i have 1 day and 15 hours remaining. the last charge was going down to 9% after 1 Day and 14 hours with normal use. great so far. today i will try internet sharing and will look at the battery again.
PS: normal use is: some surfing via WLAN, some surfing via GPRS at a high speed train. normal EMail via Exchange Push service, using of GPS, calls, SMS and so on. there was a 7 hours trip with a highspeed train and fast changing phone cells within this charge.
I got the internet sharing / HTC firmware update a few weeks ago and immediately it was very noticeable that, without changing my habits at all, the battery was lasting only about 50-60%% of what it used to. I used to never have to charge the phone in the middle of the day and would usually make it to 11pm no problem before having to charge. However in the last few weeks I was finding the battery dying at about 3 or 4pm, unless I started charging. I have spare batteries and these made no difference.
However, the 7740 update arrived for me last week and the battery is back to pre-internet-sharing levels; I once again make it through an entire day (unless I've been using internet sharing for a few hours; that does obviously use up a fair bit of battery). So obviously something was fixed by someone in that 7740 update, even though I've seen no announcements or change logs to confirm this.
I'm trying to track a trend that I'm experiencing as others have:
After installing the Wear 2.0 developer release and reverting back to 1.5 the battery life is very poor. Lucky to get 8 hours out of the watch - can just about manage 16 by disabling cellular radio and location.
Appears to be agnostic of version i.e. W200 (LTE)/W200E (3G)/W200A (AT&T) and the Nov and March releases.
Indication would be that the Wear 1.5 release on the google dev site has an issue.
I am running a March release W200E.
Please indicate if same issue and model and we can hopefully bring to attention of google devs.

I'm sorry I can't help but I'm running the same watch. Just taken delivery of a W200E. Battery life is great on 1.5, I'd like to try out 2.0 but worry about the battery life on the stock google image.
Is there a way to clone the 1.5 running on my watch? Firstly to give you a working image and secondly for me to restore after trying 2.0?
Lastly, if I unlock the boot loader, try 2.0, revert to 1.5, will LG know and will my warranty be voided?
Fix:
SUCCESS!
I am on the non-preview firmware. I've been using the watch for the last 2 1/2 day and there is still 30% battery left.
It looks like the total battery life would be 3 1/2 day.
Here is what I did:
1. (Thanks cardsbea.. @gmail.com) Main thing, drain the battery to complete 0%.
(optionally) After reaching 0%, the watch shuts down, to drain the battery even more, I waited a few hours and kept the crown pressed for a few minutes every 15 minutes. Or leave the watch discharged over night.
2. Something was fixed in Google Play: 9.2.56
3. On the phone: Settings/Storage & USB/Internal storage/Clear Cached Data (it looks like it also improved phone performance - less heat)
4. May fix some BT/WiFi issues: cycle Airplane mode on the phone and the watch once a while (turn ON, wait 1 minute, turn OFF). It looks like the Airplane mode resets the radios in a special way.

Thanks, to clarify, you had the preview installed, downgraded to the stock image and then had the same battery issues before the fix above?
Hi guys!
I bought the P9 5 days ago.
I could not help but notice the poor battery performance on the first day (from 100% to 0% in 6h).
So I checked everything (turned everything off except data connection - 4G).
Chargerd the phone back to 100% (which took 4h btw).
Slowly I started getting distrustful. I bought the phone from my mobile operator, it is brand new. Original packaging, everything clear and shiny.
The phone got really, really hot from time to time.
Day 3, I charged it back up to 100%, turned every possible background operations off. Installed G SAM battery app and started tracking.
After 8 hours the battery was to 0% again.
Slowly but surely I started thinking the battery might be broken. Although I never heard of it before.
Yesterday (Day 4) I reached 10 hours of battery life in normal use (30min music, 60min browsing, only 4G connected, wifi connected for 1h, that's it).
Somehow it seems the battery performance is increasing day by day.
Today I put the phone into safe mode, to ensure no 3rd party app is draining the battery (I checked all my apps for 5 times. Nothing unusual there).
So in safe mode, I got 8 hours of battery life until it reached 50%. Then I put it in normal mode again.
In these 8 hours I had no calls, no music, nothing. Literally just standby time, being connected to 4G.
Plus the battery got really hot again, when doing nothing.
Do you guys think the battery is broken? (I am hesitating to send it in, because I don't really want to be 2-3 weeks without my new phone - understandably)
Or do I need to tweak something? I am really hoping I just oversee something important here.
But I just think I got a bad sample of the phone..
Any helpful information would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Try to claim it as a DOA (Dead On Arrival) so they change the phone in the shop, i think DOA is 1 week.

Hi. Thanks for the input. I will try to pursue that claim, thpugh I think it willbe hard, since the device is working.
They'll sure want to send it in as a warranty case.
Hello everyone,
So, again, the battery problem, which a lot of people suffer from, and there's a lot of forum threads about this.
For those who don't know what happens, let me explain my case:
My Moto X 2014 suffers from battery drops, it suddenly drops to 1%. It started some months after I bought this phone, in February 2015. It started small, dropping from 15% to 1%, but then, from time to time, it got worse, like dropping from, 20, 30, 40.
So in July 2016 I decided to replace my battery. I bought a new one (model EY30) and I replaced it. It seemed ok for a while, but again, after some months, the problem is back and getting worse.
Today I was going for lunch, my phone had 52% of battery left, and it just dropped to 1%. I left the phone in my pocket so it would not turn off, and when I got back to work, I left it connected to the charger. In some minutes it got back to 52%. I used stock rom for a while, but I also used CM / Lineage, and nothing changed.
Some people will say "just buy a new phone", and I will, but I can't just accept that this massive problem occurs.
So I propose this thread so we can discuss what to do, some temporary fixes, or definitive if anyone knows one. This problem must have a solution.
Thanks.
EDIT:
I don't know if I'm allowed, but this thread has a lot of people with the same exactly problem: http://forums.androidcentral.com/mo...oes-my-moto-x-2014-battery-go-20-nothing.html
I've been using my new Mi A2 for about a month or two now. I installed the both Oct security patches when they became available. My phone has not been rooted, has only a few apps on it so basically stock. Works great, long battery life, no complaints.
I was using the phone to reply to a text today when the screen went dark and it appeared to reboot. I saw the android one logo and after about 15-20 seconds I was back. All my apps were fine, the phone works fine etc. Very strange as I have never seen anything like this on my android phone(s).
I can see the the "uptime" on the settings display shows over 340 hours so I'm not sure if the kernel crashed or if was the display manager ... Anyone else had anything like this happen ? I'm guessing this was the display manager and not a kernel panic since it restarted so quickly.
I just do hard reset.. I have this issue before and that time I used for around 4 days and uptime 557 hours.. On battery, my device is up for 82 days.. What I do before I go hard reset, I updated to the latest November update then when it's reboot after finished installing, I reset it.. Since then no more random uptime or unusual battery stats.. Almost 2 weeks now ?
