[HTC Incredible S] nayr1482:
I am on a VzW Inc2 w/ Froyo so not sure how applicable any of this is for you guys...but anyway....

My battery life is fantastic. I too see the 100% down to whatever after unplugging - I am pretty sure this is like others have said; once it reaches 100% during charging it stops charging and does not start again until you unplug and it re-plug it in. I know in my case charging from dead to 100% only takes like 3 or 4 hours. So if you are plugging your phone in when you go to bed it is probably hitting 100% after 3-4 hours and then the rest of the night it is draining down...

I have found JuiceDefender Ultimate and JuicePlotter to be huge helps to me in decreasing battery drain (JD) and understanding what uses the battery (JP).

Also just going into settings, About Phone, Battery, Battery use - this helps understand what is using it.

*Note: JuiceDefender Ultimate can create more problems than good if you are not willing to take the time to learn/set it up.

Prior to using JD and JP I would generally make it through the day, sometimes have a bit of power left over. After using these I always make it through the day, and sometimes through 2 days.

But let's not kid anyone - what JD does you CAN do manually...but more than likely wont or will forget. So for anyone that doesnt want to use JD, do you leave your WiFi on all the time, or do you switch it on/off? Leaving it on all the time drains battery. When WiFi is available, do you use it? I have found WiFi on this phone to use a lot less battery than 3G.

Probably my favorite function of JD I have it disable 3G and WiFi when the screen is off (for getting emails, updates, etc... you can set a schedule where it turns it back on during intervals or whatever).

Also I like the WiFi Location setting - you can teach it where you use WiFi and it will automatically turn WiFi on/off based on your location.

Anyway - my guess is if you are having low battery life, either you are using the device a lot more than you think (voice calls use a lot of battery), you have things syncing too often, or you are leaving radios/etc... on all the time that do not need to be on.
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
I tried to take the charger out at the same time the battery was on 100% and the LCD light went green.

Then the battery stayed at 100% for about 11 minuts and then went down to 99%.

After 3 1/2 houres the battery is at 95%!!!!!!!!

Bagground Data is enabled.

3G is active.

I have mail check every 15 minuts.

Screen brightnes at 40%

Weather update every 1 houre.

I don't use Facebook, Twitter, Stcoks and News.

I don't understand the battery in my IncS...
[HTC Incredible S] crecsky:
You guys know that these batteries don't have memory right? So when you charge doesn't matter, your phone just thinks there is that percentage of battery, do a full drain once and then it should back on track. Also, these batteries never get charged to 100%, its a safety precaution or something of that sort. They hover around 94-96% which is why the phone drops down to that area in what seems like a short amount of time. The fact that the phone says 100% when you unplug it is for effect. I used to always think I had battery problems, just stop being so worried about the battery and you'll notice an improvement. Hope this helped.
[HTC Incredible S] RellikZephyr:
Also draining them completely flat, as in device won't power on, is the worst thing you can do to them

It sort of kills off a little of the capacity, every time you do it

So to the bloke that recommended it, no it does more damage than good

After 17 houres battery is down from 100% to 84%.

I'm finding turning to GSM only helps massively. I mean, so it should but I was hoping I didn't have to do this all the time, like I had to with my 3GS... And its a pain in the butt having to change it.

Still cant find a widget that will do it for me...not mobile data, ACTUAL WCDMA-GSM and back...

On the side, if anyone knows of one, please tell! haha

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
I tell you is true, and i don't understand i either!!!

Most of the 17 houres the phone was only in standby and i only read mail twice.

I guess its just a fantastic ROM that Mike1986 has made with no Sense ;-)
[HTC Incredible S] elthrawno:
I can get a day and a half out of my IncS with heavy use on a pretty regular basis. Set brightness to automatic, switch off unnecessary auto updates, GPS, bluetooth, and keep volume down or off in games. My screen timeout is 1 min (reduce for longer battery life), and I have always on internet switched off. I generally leave my Wi-Fi on a lot by mistake but don't find this to affect things too much really.

You will get 96% a lot after a charge as it is bad for your battery to stay plugged in when it's fully charged, so the s/w on HTC phone switch the charge off for a little while so it runs down a little and back up again. I had Hero before and that did this as well.
[HTC Incredible S] djbenny1:
juice defender ultimate is excellent in my experience.

i had it set to switch on data every 5mins for 15secs to receive notifications and do updates (i have quite lot syncing - twitter, fb, sky news widgets x2, weather) and i would sometimes have gotten 30 hours out of the phone (ie. i wouldnt have charged it 2 nights in a row sometimes), but always easily 1 full day.

im getting sick of having to use JD though, because i figured something HAD to be wrong as my battery would drain in maybe 5-8 hours without JD which I just dont think is good enough and so could not be how its meant to be.

i then read about some people having problems with cyanogen rom battery drain, and that if you switch off android market notifications, it solves it.

so i tried it, charged my phone to 99% again and im now at 82% after 5 hours 10mins, which means if i keep using the phone at this rate, ill make it 25 hours - which is more than good enough for me. (~and i still have all the same stuff syncing as before, except market notifications~)

also i have wifi set to never sleep, so its always on. (its my ideal that everything that you buy the phone for should be able to be kept on 24/7, eg data, gps etc always on - so i keep them like that. bluetooth i dont use though - if i can make it through the day on a charge with decent use, im happy)

try it.

im calling BS on jkolner btw - pics or it didnt happen
[HTC Incredible S] biomech91:
I've gotten great results with Juice Defender as well.

I now easily get at least 24 hours of battery life, and this is with lots of wifi/data use and voice calls and so on. In the app it says that my battery life increased 2.11 times, I say definitely give it a try if you're not getting enough.
[HTC Incredible S] RellikZephyr:
These are smartphones, I would prefer to have all features on and get 1 day battery life, then turn off half the features (and lose the smart part of the phone) to get 2-3 days out of the battery

So it's everything on, 3g, background data, all updates etc. and I get from wake up til bed usually, 5 am til 10 pm sometimes give it a quick charge while in shower after work, and that's prefect for me

Rellikzephyr
[HTC Incredible S] djbenny1:
+1

but have you tried switching off the market notifications zephyr?

im noticing a big difference, so much so that i have all my syncing done on the hour now, instead of every 3h like it was before.
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
The only way I got battery lasting 24+++ hours was setting brightness manually through widget.

Automatic brightness drains all battery very quickly.

Sent from my HTC Incredible S
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
For me, automatic brightness works pretty well and I don't find it to consume lots of power. But I've been using an app called ScreeBl which turns off screen automatically based on orientation of the phone. So basically I can set the screen timeout to the minimum 15s. Maybe you can give it a try.
[HTC Incredible S] RellikZephyr:
Hmm, will try disabling market notifications, cause I check that in my time anyway

Rellikzephyr
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
Has anybody noticed how long it takes from 99% to 100%?

From 0% to 99% every step its fairly quickly and regular, but the last from 99 to 100 takes much longer.
[HTC Incredible S] Special Features:
This is just strange. I hear different stories all the time. I agree with you dude, if you get a full day, I'd be happy to....but like a full day of actually USING it...hahah

I mean my phone is still new so, its had only 7 full charges so I'm really hoping in the next week I will see a difference in battery time. i have already, slightly but, if I was to use this phone for business use all day, I reckon I would have to charge at like late afternoon...say being on the phone from 9am on and off till 1-3pmpm.. That's a little disappointing...

Just a re posty asky thingy....haha sorry....

Has anyone found widget that I can turn on and off WCDMA and GSM?? I know theres a "shortcut" widget...but, thats not what I'm after...

Thanks again. :):):)
[HTC Incredible S] xsteph:
My experiences:

Before update battery life was very poor, can hardly to manage 1 day normal use

Update with OTA same situation. Wifi when on. Standby continues to consume a lot of battery

With a post here, I did a complete reinstall with 2.3.3 (by the way have lost some text mags :-( ), since then I can easily manage to have 1 to 2 days with 2hours podcast listening, some calls, email check, browsing, MiCoach (40) mm, WiFi and Bluetooth always on, .... Don't why exactly, but surely changed my life.
[HTC Incredible S] Special Features:
So just a hard reset basically?

Or did you do some gold card business? :) That is, installed a factory rom etc...

Cheers.
[HTC Incredible S] Nabeeltanz:
Thats really nice to hear it lasts much much longer than old devices!!! :D
[HTC Incredible S] neo-X:
I have noticed that switching off Mobile Network in quick settings make the device last a crap load longer!

I went from 10% overnight to about 3% and from about 50-60% light usage during the day to about 20%.
[HTC Incredible S] infatality:
Hmm..anyone else having problems?
[HTC Incredible S] sasha_flaver:
I measured 40-50mA of power consumption on my Incredible S in idle with Battery Monitor widget and Current Widget. Desire HD has about 4-8mA in idle.

Please, somebody, measure it too. I have no apps, except those two widgets, at all. Pure firmware without third party apps.
[HTC Incredible S] neo-X:
It take my comment back...i was meant to say airplane mode decreases battery consumption overnight
[HTC Incredible S] Raithmir:
You may as well just switch the phone off overnight if you're doing that though.
[HTC Incredible S] RellikZephyr:
Will the alarm still go off in the morning if the phone is off? I've been curious about this for a while but not game to test it

I take my phone from charger at 06:00 this morning, now i have 48%.

My configuration:

Stock Rom, Wifi on, Bluetooth on, Exchange sync (push), Weather sync (1h), Facebook sync.

Using today: about 50 min tel, 1h surfing, answering mails.....

I think that´s ok.

[HTC Incredible S] DesGehtDiNixO:
I take my phone every day from the charger at 07:20 am (GMT+1).

I'm listening at least 2 hours to music, everyday WLAN usage and Mobile Network. (background sync, mobile network, gps, display brightness auto)

And at night, when i go to bed (10:30 pm) i have 15%. This fits very good, as i think. Gingerbread OTA increased my Battery life rapidly, also. :)

Hi there

How can I add notification shortcuts ( wifi, bluetooth,.....etc )( like that of CM7 ) to status bar on official froyo rom ?:confused:

\

\

\

Thanks in advance ;)
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
one easy way to do it is to write an app that has persistant notifications that link to those settings. so you will always have a "button" in your notification tray

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/NotificationManager.html

Notifications can take different forms:

A persistent icon that goes in the status bar and is accessible through the launcher, (when the user selects it, a designated Intent can be launched)

---------

Let me know if you need more. I can write some sample code when i get home

@killersnowman

What I was talking abt is A persistent icon on status bar.

I thought This could be easy but I was wrong, it's difficult.

If u can simplify the steps, I'll try to do it.

@j4velin

Regarding NT.apk, It's very good app But i wish it has direct access from status bar ( I mean when pressing for ex. WIFI, it opens another screen to activate WIFI )

actually it's not a problem, Just wishing ;)

Thank U very much

I really appreciate your help ;)
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
You mean like clicking the batter icon or the clock in the status bar and going to those corrosponding settings? There is no method for achieving this. If you try that now you will see that the notification tray starts to slide down.

[Android Software Development] hearts king101:
I mean like the pic.
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
Maybe someone else knows but im pretty sure that cant be changed or added without modifying or changing the current rom. Or a home screen replacement (never used one so im not sure)..

OK

Thank u so much ;)

Well with that attitude you might aswell get an iPhone, it seems to fit your personality better.

Having said that... normal 2.1 sense without OC is smooth as butter, as is liberated 2.2.2 with and without OC. Or, if sense is what you're complaining about, install CM7 like others have suggested to eliminate it entirely. :)

I'm sorry you don't like your phone. I always like to try mine out at the store before I buy them.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darknessrise1234:
Well where I got my phone they don't let you try them out. I was just going by what people said on here and else where for my phone choosing.

But the main issue is, I use my phone like a laptop almost. I check xda all the time. I use it for entertainment. I text almost 24/7. I also use it as my only music player, as my mp3 players never last long. But then phone doesn't perform well enough in most or all categories. Iphones kind of do, but I consider them overrated and bland. Even with jailbreak. I like HTC sense because its got enough eye candy, and its very user friendly. I also prefer CM7 as well due to its blazing speeds. But I want to have a phone that suits most of my needs, and I don't know if my thoughts on the inspire are correct or not, but I think it would suit me perfect, as the aria definitely does not.
