Hello !
I have my HTC HD7 since 3 days and in general I am happy with it, but the recharging takes ages.
Is this a normal behavior for the HTC HD7 that the recharging takes between 3 and 4 hours.
I would understand it if I would charge it thru the pc/notbook but it also takes that long if I charge it thru the AC adapter.
I am very interested in your experiences.
Thx
Hi I just bought the phone yesterday and I noticed that as well, it seemed to be chargning a lot slower than what I would expect. I too am curious about this. I charged it for 4 hours and the battery went from dead to about 50 or 60 percent.
Don't worry I was worried at first also, I was also pissed at the wack ass battery life. Could barely last 3/4 of the day for the first few weeks.
Now it takes about an hr. or 2 to charge & it lasts me the whole day. It gets better, be patient.
First is my 4g connection......I don't lose it at home like I did at all, not even once since the update.
Second, the dag gone battery won't die I have the extended, After using the phone all day yesterday and using my flashlight last night, almost for got the 7, 1 minute videos I made, this battery is at 73%. The stats are telling me I have been on battery for 21 hours, 27 minutes and 37 seconds. THATS AWESOME
I updated and for 2 days my battery ate at 15% an hour, then on day 3 everything reversed and like you my battery usage is amazing. I posted some screen in another thread, at the 12 hour mark I was still at 84% on a stock battery. When I went to bed this morning around 4 am I was still at 73%, that was nearly 21 hours of light to minimal usage. I was amazed.
As of this moment I have been up for about 4.5 hours and I am at 98% battery so 2% battery usage in 4.5 hours. Granted I have not really touched my phone but still that is amazing stand by drain. I think they fixed a memory leak in several of the apps that was causing drains. I am not one to be easily impressed but well played LG... well played.

This makes me want to update so bad but I hate to lose GV, CWM and Beats Audio
It makes you think... Either LG really screwed up and fixed a battery issue , or they did something amazing and made it 2x better.
Seems to be amazing took my phone off the charger at 7:30am used modestly all day, fell asleep and woke up at 1am the next morning and it still had 13% battery

I just completed everything yesterday, and my battery life was abysmal today. I really hope mine behaves like yours and is okay in a few days.
Well I got no recognizable improvement in battery or anything else. I am back on gingervolt until the next rom is made.

Wow... Second day and the battery life has definitely improved. Better than GV already.
I know it's a large battery that's why I'm asking this question. My p9 plus drops from 100-95 relatively quickly just by using whatsapp and instagram. like less than an hour. Is that normal or is it just me?
Sorry but that is bad?
Which mobile are you coming from???

errr..? the huawei p9 plus? Cause some people say they could get more than a day out of this phone with normal usage but I can't seem to do that haha. I could if I keep the screen off like most of the time but definitely not normal usage.
A lot depends on the phone signal, if you move into areas where the signal is poor the phone is constantly looking to better that signal... Using more power. 5% an hour is pretty good by my reconning.. Will give you around 20 hours to zero.
I am coming from samsung A8. Comparing A8 the p9 plus is better in battery back up for me.
Mine is good too. Comparing with Xperia Z1 Compact is much much better. I have 5 to 6 hours of SOT and above average usage. With normal usage usualy I have close to 7 hours and 3 to 5% juice in it.
my battery life is amazing, best I've ever had on a phone, I would install wakelock detector and see whats eating your battery, I recently got over a 100 hrs between charges which is amazing, SOT was 7 hours 26 min, I do have greenify installed though which helps.
2 days and 1 hour here with 22℅ left and 5 hours SOT
This thing is just amazing
For me battery is perfect, mostly 2 days between charge and 6 hours SOT, no root pure stock for now all with normal usage.
Best battery I've ever had on any phone, even the ones with 4000mAh battery can't match this. This thing just rocks! After 3 full charging cycles I am stable on 2 days between charging with most of the time on wi-fi or 4g/3g and gps on when needed and my SOT is 8hrs up. Righ now I have 11%batt remaining and 8hrs 01min SOT.

What do you mean full charge cycle? And 2 days with 6 hours screen on time meaning your battery can last 2 days inclusive of the 6 hours SOT? cause for mine, I plugged it out at 9am and now it's already at 49%. Screen on time probably about 3-4 hours so far.
That is insane amount of screen on time. If this for was 2k screen I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. I have to wait for the P10 Plus

i think he means that he load the P9 Plus 3 time from 0 to 100%
Dropping from 100% to 95% after using Whatspp and Instagram for an hour is normal. My P9 Plus can last me more than 1 day with noramal browsing, emails, SMS and Whatsapp. It is way better than my LG V10.
First battery cycle and second cycle
WhatsApp all day
1 hour instagram
1 hour eyeem
2 hours lightning browser
Some photos
Easy 6+ hours SOT
The battery is not as good as I expected. I unplugged it at 6.45am and my usage are as follows:
WhatsApp
Facebook
Clash of Clans
Instagram
WeChat
and a little bit of browsing
My battery was 11% when I got home at 7pm. SOT was around 3 hours. Is this normal? I have to charge my phone everyday unlike what others has said.
everyone have different apps installed and we all use our device differently. Waste of time to compare each others battery life.
I have a lot of **** running in the background and i just charge when i need. Nothing i worry about, always a arm length from an electrical outlet. (home, work, school, train etc.)

Unfortunately all the apps u r running are power-intensive. I suppose if u keep running those apps from 6.45am until 7pm (which is more than 12 hours) and still left some juice on it, this should consider very good battery life already.
The P10 should be a serious contender when it comes out. I am torn between Samsung S8, Sony Zeus and the P10 Plus. I'm really interested to see what the P10 plus and Sony Zeus have to offer.
I just got phone two days now ,At second charge,very satisfied
Hi, Lately I've noticed my battery draining very fast. Like 50% in 4 hours. So I installed accubattery to further see why. After a while it states my battery capacity has dropped to 80%. I've been experiencing miserable battery backup ever since. Do I need to change my battery?
When did u buy it and how often do you charge it?

Hi, I am also experiencing bad battery life, I'm on OOS 5.0.6 without root (stock kernel). Last month I was still on Nougat OOS and battery was fine, so I would go ahead and guess oreo is eating a lot of battery, also you can try and switch to 2G network, I was on 4G and mobile signal was not good and drain was higher then when I switched to 2G.
See pictures for info
I tried oneplus page "repair phone" so they change my battery but no answer from them (send the request on 19.11.2018.)
I'm in the same boat. Bought mine somewhere in the first months of last year (January maybe?) and based on 35 charging sessions my battery is now on 79% of the original charge (2701 of 3400 mAh). I'm thinking of sending it to repair service and pay to get it replaced because the battery life is noticeably worse even with the NLOS ROM and MicroG.
My 3T will be 2 years old next month. I was facing serious battery issues so after searching a lot, I installed Accubattery and let it analyse my battery usage for a few days. I found out my battery had been degraded to around 77%( no wonder I had to charge my phone ATLEAST 3 to 4 times for a 24-hour endurance, iwas on stock oxygen oreo with franco kernel).
THis july, i got my battery replaced(June END for Rs800 INR) and now i am on OOS NOUGAT(way more BATTERY FRIENDLY and throttles less compared to crappy unoptimised OOS OREO we got).
Battery was fine and lasted more than i needed for PUBG MOBILE. but within a few months, BUT only after 5 months battery quality has degraded to 82% again!!!!
PS:1st image is before getting new battery.

I bought my 3T in December 2016, lately I have been noticing a lot of battery drain (everything stock and latest OOS). I have to charge my phone at least 2-3 times a day. However, I have been streaming a lot of video (chromecast) and audio (bt earphones) so I am guessing that could be the culprit. Netflix on chromecast is especially hell for battery life.

Get your battery replaced from original service center
I would take the battery health % with a grain of salt. Batteries hardly every have their advertised full capacity, even straight from the factory. I remember a thread from a while back (older devices - it's been a few years) where an XDA'er tested multiple batteries (factory condition) from various OEM manufacturers, as well as reputable 3rd party batteries. Hardly any met the advertised capacity. Something like 80-95% is about as good as you can expect. Maybe folks on here have some more device specific, and/or more recent data. And obviously, if you took the readings when the phone was new; you'd have a good start point. But the reading now doesn't mean a whole lot. Could have only been 80-90% to begin with. And replacing the battery may be a waste of money and effort.

I bought it april 2017, So That's 20 months now. Usually I charge to full every morning and some at nights depending on my usage. Untill 2 Weeks ago I charged every 6 or 8 hours (while I had the battery drain, happened for about 2 Weeks ) . Last week i moved from open beta to stable and wiped everything. While it's not as critical as before, Phone holds charge Better when screen is off but I still have worse screen on times. Now I don't charge above 90%.

Does this mean that you were charging the phone every time till over 85% and in general you were leaving the device plugged to charger for many hours?
If this happened for long time, then for sure the battery has been degraded.

I know it depends how you using it and so on. But generally?
I think mine is worse then pixel 4 xl. Have only charged it like 4 times but still. Using some Instagram, Facebook, Spotify, news , youtube.
Mostly wifi and feels like battery is dropping really fast.
I'm getting 7-8 hours SoT when battery hitting around 25-30% left. Here's my thread from my first findings.
Battery life?
So I'm coming from a 3 XL, and I even got the battery replaced April 2021, and I was getting about four hours SoT. My 7 in only two days is blowing my mind. Yesterday I had five hours SoT, and today after a full charge, It went from 100% to 99%...
forum.xda-developers.com
Today's usage.
its about the same as pixel 6 for me maybe a little less from daily usage...but smoother for sure and the phone is a little bit smaller which is always a plus
My battery sucks ATM. Only had like 3 full charges so might settle and getting better , hopefully
Another quick update. Haven't used the phone that much yesterday or today yet, and I'm happy with standby time. Over 34 hours off the charger with over 4 hours SoT, and still has over 40% battery.

LOL what do you want? 20 hours SoT? Maybe because I'm coming from a 3 XL with a 3430 battery that after 4 hours of SoT, and only being off the charger for 12 hours, not well over 30, my battery would be at 10%, not 40%, but to me this is freaking awesome battery life.

20 would be stellar.
Anyone getting battery drain with Spotify?
Was listening for 3h with bluetooth headphones and it said Spotify needed 23% which i feel is quite a lot.
3h display on used 5%
Mine is honestly making me regret buying the phone. Too late, sent my trade in yesterday.
I previously had the Pixel 5a and got around 9.5 hours of screen on time over 24 hours. I think most days I could go about 30 hours before running empty.
My P7 gets around 6 hours of screen time over about 18 hours.
So a battery that's 7% smaller is seeing battery life more than 30% worse.
I'm not very happy with the battery life as you can tell, and I just hope a software update can improve things.

Other than the battery life the phone is fantastic haha. It's not unmanageable, I do keep good high-watt chargers in most places like home, work, car, etc. But sometimes I go do something all day and I'm not near a charger. Guess I'll just get used to using battery saver mode in those situations.
I do enjoy the phone, but the battery giving me anxiety is not very fun.

Yeah. I guess. Working 10 hrs makes me nervous about battery life. Lol.
dont reference your SOT, reference it to your previous phone, everone usage SOT is different, one person maybe have 5 hours SOT but on the camera for 70% one person may have 10 hours but only use it for texting or internet.
What ways have you guys found to extend battery life during normal use? Without having to severely reduce the functionality of the phone, ie 5g or reducing screen brightness a ton. I feel like a modern phone a lot of the point is the screen and 5g so those I wouldn't want to sacrifice
Are there settings or other apps that can help? I'm fairly new to Android and so far I've been a bit disappointed with the battery life of the P7.

What kind of battery life are you getting? I only play around on mine (Instagram, Pinterest, SnapChat, and some Candy Crush games), and my main drain is Clash Royale, and I get around 7-8 hour SoT with 20% remaining. I switched 5G off, and only use LTE because 5G (at least in my area) is bad.
Man, y'all must've been spoiled with like 10+ hours of SOT with your old phones... I get around 6-8 with 30 hrs total which I think is pretty dang good. But like someone else said SOT will be much different from person to person based on device usage. I watched a 2hr downloaded movie from Netflix with airplane mode on and it only dropped 12%. And with adaptive charging, I just charge it all night which it will charge, slowly, till full until my alarm goes off.

Exactly. My experience is the opposite though. I came from a 3 XL, and by the time I switched from it to the 7 my battery capacity was down to around 2800. My 7 is like a God send for me. 7-8 hours SoT with the same use as my 3 XL, and I still have 30% left, when my 3 XL would be down to 2%. I couldn't be happier.
I came from the OnePlus9 and all around the OnePlus9 is a better device.
Google has a great UI experience, but these Tensor2 chips do not compete in performance or efficiency with the Snapdragon 888s or higher.
Theyre missing a lot of the refinement that Qualcomm has done with the hardware and it shows.
For those coming from a Pixel 3-5 series, yes this is a big upgrade, and many got great trade-in deals which is what made me give this phone a shot. It does not however live up to it's MSRP. Im hoping Google is able to refine things to greatly improve efficiency on these devices.
