If anyone can help, I just need to know one thing before I get one of these.
How long does the battery last with direct mail on all the time using a 3G connection.
My Touch keeps it going for 2 days (at a push) on GPRS.
I dont think it can last that long.
I took off from the power source at 9.00 saturday morning and used couple of times for 3G internet browsing, trying configurations, browsing again. And was turned off during saturday evening.
When I back at home, Sunday 19:00, it was 9% left.
Btw, I dont use push mail and not always connected to 3G.
If you dont have GPS/constant GPRS connections active, then I'm fairly sure the life will be respectable once the battery is conditioned.
Currently, under heavy use mine lasts from 9am to about 11pm. The battery has only had three days of charging though, and wont be optimal just yet.
I think thats where the problem is going to be, if direct push keeps the data connection going all the time its going to last about 3 hours, maybe more with the screen off.
Anyone doing this on a daily basis? Its a shame 3G uses so much power, as I said GPRS/direct push can go almost 2 days on my Touch/Elf.
Might have to give this a miss then, which is a shame.
mattpark,
Interesting ... How to make it optimal then?
By fully charging it several times?
Or by connecting it to a power source all the time?
Thanks

The first...
Make sure you always charge the battery completely full (ie till the light comes on green) the first 5 to 10 times...
FULL means charging it double the time it takes for the light to become green. Green light means 90% (although indicators show 100%), and the last 10% takes the double the time to 'squeeze' in there
A battery has to 'set'.... So be sure you to follow this guide
Mt 8525 would last *most* of the day with direct push.
If I spoke on the phone more than a couple hours the batter would be dead or at least turning its self off by 5pm.
I'm wondering if the 8925 will be the same?
I purchased an extended battery which lets me use the phone all day.. but for a 3600 batter that's huge and requires a custom back it only lasts 2 days at best so far. I've been testing 2 weeks.
I may not get an extended battery because this huge backing is anoying and ruins the look of the phone. I love how the kaiser looks and would hate to ruin that. I would get an extended if it fit into the case itself.
Bottom line though I think an extended battery of some sort of absolutely required if you use push mail.. the only question is how long it will last.
Oh balls, Ive just bought one - So thats nokia e65, tytn1, htcs710, htc touch and tytn2 all inside 5 months!!
If you're concerned w/push email and less with web surfing, you can change the band the phone uses to plain GSM (EDGE) and that would allow you to use it for days at a time.
Using 3G/HSDPA, mine lasts from around 7AM to about 3PM with push constantly running and at least 2 hours of web surfing and about 1/2 hour of phone usage.
Hope that helps.
is it possible to disable 3g under configuration settings?, It is not really needed most of the time!
Disabling 3G
Go to Phone, settings, select band, i think choose GSM only, that should do it. There are some apps too that can do this for you on the TYTN.
your battery will go from 8-12 hrs to 24+, and thats w/ push email, i really couldn't care if a 16k email comes in 6 seconds or 2???
do you?
Battery life so far has been okay (only been using for about 2 days). I have direct PUSH activated but I am only using edge. I take a couple of calls per day + 10 min internet browsing. Battery is about 10-15% at 10 pm at night. My day starts around 9 am.
PS- just a reminder to uncheck the "receive incoming beams" in Settings menu if you don't use that function to save some battery life.

There's no infrared support on this device, so I'm not sure if that option does anything. Strange that they kept the .cpl though (had assumed it was accidentally left in the as-yet-unfinished AT&T roms).

If you don't want your data connection open all the time, try installing GBSoft's GPRS & Audio Tweak program. Get it here: http://www.gb-soft.cz/XDAII/product_gprs_tweak_wm5pe_en.htm
You can set it to turn off your GPRS connection every x minutes.

For the first week I was playing with the phone a lot, so battery was draining quickly. But last two days I've got easier, so after ~25 hours since disconnecting charger, I still have 57% battery left.
Generally, I think battery life would be more or less like Hermes' - ~2 days with 3G, and ~3 days with 2G-only.

Do you have push email enabled all the time?

No, I don't use push e-mail. I've set up automatic e-mail checking every 15 minutes once, tough - but I got rid of it for now, as data connection stays open after checking email, which is not quite nice, regarding battery life...
Can I charge the battery using my old HTC Magician charger?
It has the same input and output (at least from what I read).
The reason that I want to use the HTC Magician charger because I live in NL (charger has 2 legs) and I bought the Kaiser from UK (charger has 3 legs).
hi all,
i have my gmail set to send/receive every 30 minutes but I notice it takes 5-6 minutes to download the email.
i notice it gets 'stuck' at the 'receiving headers' stage for 5-6 minutes then finally it downloads the message(s).
i just noticed this now when i only had 1 new 10kb message.
i believe this is why my battery life has suddenly turned terrible in the last few weeks.
any tips? I'm thinking to just delete my gmail profile and start fresh. i have it to download the last 30 days worth and only 5kb per message. if i change it to last 7 days, would that make a difference? I dont think it would but you never know.
Guys,
I finally got round to installing PC Companion and decided to launch the Backup Wizard.
However for the past 30 minutes its been sat at item 2 Preparation doing nothing further.
Question being ~ Just how long does it take to 'roughly' finish item 2 Preparation then move on to item 3 Backup?
Edited:
Well, it finally moved on to item 3 Backup and now I have another issue..... time being taken.
At first it said it would tak 3hrs 10mins. That quickly changed to 3hrs 30mins then 4hrs 10mins and so on and so on.....
Currently its now at 7hrs 40mins in still climbing.
Granted it is backing up 14GB of data but it shouldn't take this long surely not....
Had I known I would have backed it up manually.
Edited 2:
Well, that was confusing....
One minute its saying there is 8hrs 20mins to go before backup complete. Half an hour later I look at the screen and its saying 5mins left to go.
All done but not as fluid as I would have hoped.
I'll leave these comments in case anyone else comes across a similar situation.

Pleased as punch you found the post of use.
Here's a a Thank You for for taking the effort and delving deep into finding your answer. :good:
Same problem
2014 and I'm having the exact same problem. It says there's 19 hours to go... I have to leave the house in 1,5 hours, and I've tried backing up before, but cancelled because it never finished. How long is this gonna take? Copying 19 gb cannot possible take this long! The blue line is almost at the end, but seems to have stopped there.... do i need to leave it backing up overnight? This is 2014, man! I did overnight stuff in 1998!
same problem
i do face longtime backup with PCC. But while nearing finishing session PCC says Runtime error n closes or PCC doesnt respond which results in incomplete backup :crying:
I hope someone could help me with another software which help to take full backup. moreover this is my first post
When i first got my phone and enabled stamina mode, it showed that i had 3+ days estimated battery time left. But after recharging it, it never shows that much battery time anymore. I had to reset the phone to get it showing 3+ days again. Anyone knows why?
It's just speculation, but I think it may use your past data to compute the time left. So at first it shows > 3 days, but if you use your phone a lot and it typically lasts only one or two days it will adapt and show that instead.

I might send my phone back it doesn't seem right that
In my case main metrics (e.g. SOT) are refreshing when I'm entering the view. I'll try to record screen later.
On the other hand when I was testing battery usage of Tidal, the metric related to this app has been refreshed after some time. For example, I was using the app for 30 minutes (I've used timer) and right after this time I've entered battery stats and I saw that app was in use for ~20 minutes. After some time I've reentered battery stats and values has been updated.
BTW, I don't know if it's only me, but I have feeling that Tidal / Spotify are draining more battery on S21U in comparison with e.g. OnePlus 6. It's Exynos related or I'm just overreacting?
Last time I had a major update on my SD888 S21U, it said right on the screen that it would take a few days for the battery tracking to re-enable itself as the phone had to get adjusted to the software changes.
You're probably experiencing the same thing and just didn't get that message on the screen in the battery menu.
Potentially although it's just as easy to get a new phone this one seems a bit stuttery

I can confirm observing this same behaviour. It seems to only update every 10-20 minutes? This behaviour hasn't changed since February 2021.
