hey there :)

basically, last night i:

1)wiped battery stats

2)discharged till phone shuts off

3)turned phone on again so it turns off again

4)went to sleep with it charging

5)woke up 9 hours later, on 100%

so if its fully charged, battery ETA is only giving it 7 hours and 44 minutes estimated time, WITHOUT WIFI, GPS OR MOBILE DATA, AND 25% BRIGHTNESS USING 'BRIGHTNESS PROFILES' APP. isnt this like.... rubbish? this is my setup

i dont want to buy one of those bulky batteries, as it wont fit in my school blazer. the question is, how do i extend my battery?

Thanks :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeinashed:
Sounds like a duff battery. I get about 20 hours with everything on on stock rom.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
oh okay thanks, where could i buy a decent battery, adding no bulk but not too expensive?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Fludizz:
I'm wondering the same thing... the Desire Z only comes with a 1300mAh battery... My previous phone had a more powerfull battery (2100mAh) and that was an older model WM6 smartphone (which was rubbish on power savings) and it would outlast the desire Z... Even after two years of extensive use, the old phone's battery is better then this phones brand new battery :P

I've been unable to find any official HTC batteries for the Desire Z which pack more juice...
[G2 and Desire Z General] trundlenut:
At the OP. What is your signal strength like? Mine is rubbish at work as I work in a converted barn and that makes a big difference to the battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
at home i ALWAYS have 3/4 bars out of 4

btw i am also using JuiceDefender, if that would make a difference :L...
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
since the OP, ive been on facebook for about 30-40 mins, already 82% battery..... :confused:

I am in the process of 'breaking in' a new 1800 MuganPower battery. Fits perfectly with no mods needed.

It should take a few more charges etc to settle down, so things should theoretically improve.

I pulled the plug off charge 6.5 hours ago.

I have it set to use wifi when at home, and 3g for the phone connection (I have a 3G femtocell at home).

When I leave my home area, it switches off 3g and wifi and drops to 2g.

I have made a couple of 2 minute calls, checked my emails and twitter, and was out of the house for say 1.5 hours earlier.

I have had a couple of texts to which i replied.

I am on 95% charge now, and pretty pleased with that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingston73:
I've got the same mugen battery, and get through a full day easily no matter what I do. Screen full bright, wifi always on, some internet, games, gps.... etc. Only 7 hours of battery to me sounds terrible.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
since my last post, i havent touched the phone at all, and its got 66% charge -__- i seriously need a better battery, may buy the mugen, would you say they are worth it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] deliriousDroid:
Have you made sure there are no apps or services that are using to much?

[G2 and Desire Z General] jweigand:
Are you using the Google News and Weather widget? I still don't know why, but it was murdering my battery. Soon as I removed the widget, battery life shot back up.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
nope, no widgets except the built in analogue clock.

the battery usage is used by mobile standby, wifi, display etc. no apps....
[G2 and Desire Z General] deliriousDroid:
What percentage per section(standby, display) is being used?

Sent from my 'SilverBullet' HTCDesireZ running CM7
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
mobile standby 33%

wifi 28%

phone idle 28%

display 5%

im surprised its been 10h 15m and im still on 58% :D :D :D :D :D

the battery seems okay when not touching the phone, as i have only checked facebook for 2 minutes, and sent around 10 texts (been playing football) :cool:

looks like imma turn off wifi when not using it from now!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Susido:
When I first got my Desire Z when it first came out I was pretty disappointed in the battery life. I tried programs like juice defender and minimized every possible battery sucking option I could find. I could maybe get 12 hours of use out of it so I bought a 1800mAh MuganPower battery which gave me maybe 15 hours instead. Pretty poor I thought but what more could I do?

A couple of months ago I finally did a factory reset after encountering a lot of frustrating little bugs, some of which had been around since the phone was new. Since then not only has my phone worked a lot better and faster, but battery life is MUCH improved. My phone now consistently lasts 24 - 30 hours with the same usage or more than I was using it before. So obviously buggy software can make a huge impact on battery life and it's not something you are going to be able to easily discern as to what program(s) are causing the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ayeitschris:
Hmmm im not sure then..
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Okay, played a bit of speedx 3D, heavy texting and facebook/gochat, still on 31%. Battery seems ok, still going to invest in a better one though, as using the phone for games or internet heavily drains the battery, whereas standby seems to be quite good, but need to turn off wifi. I will see how it fairs tomorrow, and post a picture.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeinashed:
28% for wifi seems really high. I always have wifi on and it only takes up 6%.
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
I would imagine there is a problem with the Kernel, perhaps its not sleeping the phone properly, or as mikeinashed says, wifi power management (prob Kernel). Mine is usually < 10% of drain and its almost always on.

I would:

Check the advanced settings for wifi (menu button in wifi settings)

Check Accounts and Sync to make sure its not constantly trying to sync

Check if any apps you have installed have known problems. Google them!

Check for updates to your Kernel, they're normally updated regularly

*Getting desperate* Take off the overclock - return to stock speed

*Getting more desperate* Factory reset or re-flash your ROM

If anyone else cares to add things to this, go ahead :)

[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Oh thanks :) what kernels are you guys using? I keep switching, because I'm either on eugenes smartass (when using device battery lasts longer) or pyro's/ pershoots.
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
I'm using the stock ROM so erm, stock HTC one :)

However, I see good things about pershoots Kernels and CM7 in the forums.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
ok, ive put the pyro smartass kernel back on, i will post results around tomorrow morning, or if the battery drains tonight xD
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sengalang:
My battery dies way too fast I wish there was a 2000 mah slim battery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
okay, so after sending about 200 texts, Facebook'in quite a bit, this was my battery yesterday, did pretty well tbh
[G2 and Desire Z General] deliriousDroid:
Wi-Fi is still using a lot eh

Sent from my 'SilverBullet' HTCDesireZ running CM7
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Yeah, but this time i was actually using it, unlike last time where it was on standby all day
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
Wifi is definately high. Mines at 6%, been on for 80% of standby time connected the whole time. Uptime is 32hrs at 30% left and I've been Facebooking, XDAing, Google mapping, Wifi scanning and a fair amount of Speedtest.net (testing Wifi, not mobile) Much of my usage is Display (54%)

Is your Wifi always connected or in and out of service? Scanning for AP's takes a fair amount of power. Are you connecting to a G or an N network?

Still cant discount Kernel or ROM problems which is still the most likely issue here. Try it without overclock? There's nothing syncing every 30mins in Accounts and Sync?

[G2 and Desire Z General] popimp315:
Hey xt4z I'm kind of in the same boat as you. Trying to find out why my battery drains so much quicker than everyone elses. I'm on cm7.0.3 and I switch back and forth between eugenes and pyros kernel because they are the only smartass ones. I'm trying out the conservative profile right now on eugenes because his underclocks are better. I may reflash tomorrow. Everything and start from scratch. Have you tried

[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
I'm guessing that it means 7 hours of screen on time, which honestly doesn't seem that bad at all. If you see more than 2-3% used per hour while the phone is asleep without use, then its time to change your battery.

Also, how many things do you have set up with push/frequent notifications, and how many apps do you usually see running in the background? I've always stayed away from apps like setcpu or juicedefender because they constantly run in the background, but I've never really gave them a chance either.
[G2 and Desire Z General] popimp315:
Me personally, got rid of setcpu when I realized cm has that already. Just no profiles, but you really don't need them if you are trying to save battery. Also got rid of atk, facebook and everything is set to never refreshing. Only widget I have running is fancy widgets pro n have 3 screens with launcher pro. I think my batt life has gotten better after getting rid of juice defender and all that other crap. Funny you said that mejor, just got rid of a lot of that stuff today like juice defender....well yesterday n running it today. At 56 percent after calibrating at 12 earlier today. Sent a lot of texts and obviously browsed tapatalk and like 7 web pages. 2g data as well. Also when it sleeps I see virtually no drop at all on conservative. Hopefully more great results to come.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
also, my wifi always has 100% connection in my house, never disconnects. i think the wifi usage is high, because towards the end i was constantly checking facebook and using gochat. the ONLY things ive set to sync are gmail and contacts. facebook never updates itself, only when i check.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
ALSO, im going football tomorrow, so we will see how good the battery is on standby and sending a few texts

edit: not now, cant be arseeedddd
[HTC 7 Pro] blindpet:
I woke up this morning and found my phone was mildly wet on the bottom. I slid open the keyboard to make sure it wasn't wet everywhere and it wasn't. After I dried off the bottom and started using it it began getting wet again. When I opened the battery cover to investigate I found the source of the liquid and immediately pulled the battery out. There is now discoloration on the battery and inside the battery hutch. The battery appears to have stopped leaking this liquid but it has only been an hour. I am obviously concerned that this has damaged my phone. The phone was working though when I checked my email and discovered it was wet.

When I researched it said Lithium ion batteries aren't supposed to leak but this is the only explanation I can come up with. The phone wasn't near water and since the top half of the phone wasn't wet, this must be the case.

Is my phone damaged?

Can I use the old battery from the TP2 (both batteries say RHO160 on them)?
[HTC 7 Pro] tiny17:
Very strange. Can't you just swap it out at a Sprint location?
[HTC 7 Pro] ms79723:
ummm get that switched out immediately. new battery, new phone, whatever...just get it taken care off. That ain't good at all.
[HTC 7 Pro] blindpet:
I can't just go to a sprint store because I don't live in the US heh. My phone is unbranded so I'm waiting for HTC to respond.

The phone is still working fine but I'm using the battery from my TP2 and it's been working since early afternoon yesterday. I'm still worried it might start acting up though, fingers crossed.
[HTC 7 Pro] LayneRobinson:
I have 5 Arrives (five members of the family, each with their own......I really do like the phone). One of our phones gets excessively hot when charging via USB from a computer (but not when charging via the wall plug). How were you charging it?

Even still, I suspect there is some sort of power management issue in some of them phones.
[HTC 7 Pro] blindpet:
I was charging from the wall plug, not from USB. The only time my phone gets warm is if I'm playing games on it for over an hour :).

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lara_Shadow:
Hi, All

I saw lots of docs that says be careful before installing 3rd party apps. Because of security issues.

But what about of custom ROMS? We are installing the whole OS.

In installing Custom ROMS developers just gave URL to download ROMS or some application that installs these ROMS on phones?

We even dont know how these ROMS builds, what hidden applications will run in background:eek:

I am not here insulting gr8 developers efforts in creating these ROMS and rooting.

Just asking something what I feel. It will be great if some one answer this in positive way.

Also are we able to root wildfire now after 2.2 official upgrate as http://androidos.in/2011/05/we-will-no-longer-be-locking-bootloaders-on-our-devices-–-htc/?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpye:
No 2.2 root still. As forROMs your mostly ok, people are usally genuine and they takw much more effort than apps.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayzhoukj:
custom roms

i would say they are stable enough for daily use like around 90-95% of the stuff in it works. that should be the case for the most popular aftermarket firmware of custom roms, cyanogenmod. for more info, visit: www.cyanogenmod.com

As for rooting hboot 1 - i have no clue as to what htc are going to do (feel free to sign using link below)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
I don't get what sort of "positive discussion" you want on this topic. Yes, it is true, developers CAN implement hidden stuff and backdoors on their ROMs. So, what will you do about it? The answer is upto you if you trust the dev or not, and, if you are paranoid, dont use Custom ROMs. End of story. And if you still want to use Custom ROMs, then learn the Android OS, break down the ROM, analyze it and use it - or better still, make your own ROM and use it.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjblaster3:
Take it easy

My friends,

I understand that this is an obvious question, but the responses seem quite harsh in my opinion..

the references of condoms and paranoia are funny to some but offensive to others and this leads to arguments which lead to rule breaking and well at the end of the day one may find himself/herself banned for only pointing out the obvious..

Remember that this is also an act of trolling which is not something that XDA tolerates..

So i advise all to avoid this kind of behaviour unless looking for some trouble.

On this note, Thread closed (also cleaned away the unnecessary posts)

Well now I'm using my old TP2 battery and it's working fine. There doesn't appear to be any damage to the phone which is reassuring, but who knows in the long run. What happened to your phone exactly? Which model do you have etc?

Also HTC were very understanding (though I got a female service rep) and they're sending a new battery my way. I'm too scared to try the old battery again.

It must have just been the battery since I have tried 2 old TP2 batteries and neither have leaked so the phone is not destroying batteries :).

1. when i stop recording it takes a lot of time to save the video

2. the video gets periodic "jerks" after some time

3. after saving a long video it gives an error which disappears even before i m able to read it

[XPERIA X10 General] Crocodile1973:
as someone who runs a forum and moderates, deleting people's posts for no reason, is pretty poor. Mine was deleted for no reason and no explanation. The situation in the end was to the poorer for XDA. As a DEV left, and could be followed up by more. Instead of a calm hand, all members got was a heavey handed approach, threatening bans. Sorry that is a crap way. and in end has lost XDA many members. how sad
[XPERIA X10 General] acmbc:
Sure thing - but adding an additional post to JUST say "look in the thread" only makes it longer. No need since the rule is already in place, right?

Precisely - CLOSE them - they will take up some disk space and trickle down through the thread (being closed).

Cleaning some threads would take you guys ages (500+ pages in some cases).

Deleting them however loses information, whether the dev has left or not (he may always come back as has happened...) and only fans flames for conspiracy theories and other idiocies...I do concede that leaving them there may also spur more garbage initially, but that will stop as the (closed) thread ages.
