[G2 and Desire Z General] craigw2010:
Hi all,

I've been having a problem with my HTC Desire Z for some time now, but have delayed posing here in the hope of it sorting itself out!

My problem is this; I take my phone off charge before work, at 19.45, nothing is draining the battery other than the phone being on, 3g is off, WiFi off, GPS, and Bluetooth all off! I check my phone at midnight, and 18% battery gone! I go on my break at 1 am and turn my 3g on to check my emails etc, and within 5 minutes my phone turns itself off! When I turn it back on it says 2% battery life left! I'm not up on phones and stuff but I know that 5 minutes of 3g usage doesn't drain a battery from 80% to 2%! I've used the 3g for longer than that without a problem before!

Android Version 2.3.3

HTC Sense Version 2.1

Hope somebody can help,

Craig

My first suggestion as usual. Try a factory reset

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies, I've just performed a Factory Reset on my phone, but I still think there is an issue with it! Not tested it but will be doing so soon and ill keep ya posted,

Craig
[G2 and Desire Z General] craigw2010:
Hey guys,

Ok so I've done my factory reset, but still it keeps dying after about 10 minutes! It's just gone from fully charged to 85% in 10 mins and then crashed out! When I restarted it, it said connect your charger! I'm going to call the company I got the phone from, see if they can fix it, if not HTC, and if all else fails ill buy a used iPhone from ebay!

[G2 and Desire Z General] craigw2010:
I've swapped the battery back to my original HTC one, was using a replacement higher capacity one not made by HTC! So far it seems to be doing the trick, I've had about 5 hours of life, on constant 3g and its on 75%! Fingers crossed it keeps it up!

Thanks for the quick replies!

Craig
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilbeppez:
Actully I suggest you to change the battery, I think is that the problem ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] craigw2010:
Thanks for the help all, I don't know what did it, be it the factory reset or battery change but I'm now getting well over 20 hours with constant 3g or WiFi on and background data on!

Craig
[G2 and Desire Z General] heema88:
did you buy the battery off ebay? (when you had problem)
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
also maybe you can try battery stats reset, maybe the battery isn't actually fully charging even though it says it is. You could flash a new radio too, but if you have the stock one I don't see why it would cause problems.

[HTC Inspire 4G] crypted:
After a lot of testing, the four different types of cases I bought (cheapos on Amazon) have horrible degradation of signal.

GPS signal is almost entirely wiped out by all cases. Tower signal has a small, yet identifiable, loss as well. I tested both signals with Marketplace apps: "GPS Stats" and with "OpenSignal".

Any cases out there that don't have interference or are very minimalist in doing so?

Two cases that I've tried and have GPS signal loss to the maximum are:

[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
How exactly do you quantify signal strength for GPS?

Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side
[HTC Inspire 4G] crypted:
Well, that's a fair point. I've based it on how many satellites I lock onto both indoors and outdoors. I let it "lock" and then wait a couple of minutes to see the number that actually stayed locked.

For example, without the case I can lock onto 7 sat's indoors, but with the case I'm currently only getting 1 sat. Outdoors, I can get 5-6 with the case and 9 constant without.
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
With my Otterbox Defender I see no difference in GPS or cell signal. I lock 9 says inside on or off as well as get the same signal strength for cell.

The first two shots are naked. The last two are in the Defender. That's actually the first time I ever saw double digit sats.

Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
The Otterbox Commuter is another good case. It might have a

small

amount of attenuation - a couple of months ago I did some testing and I got a lock on 8 satellites with the case on, and 9 satellites with the case off. Not enough difference to worry about, and my results may have been within the margin of error.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crypted:
Thanks for the input. There are a lot of factors for GPS issues....
[HTC Inspire 4G] jonx15:
The Seidio innocase II works well for me...

I tried the casemate tough and it def degraded my gps signal..
[HTC Inspire 4G] MrChow:
Seidio case I'm in love with. My sis ran over my phone and it's fine! I've haven't had problem with the signal.

It's always good to have a good radio flashed in too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crypted:
Yeah, this ****ty case has definite issues with GPS. With the patch I provide in the Android Development, I can only get 4 sats with it maximum and it takes forever to get past 1. But, I get instant 7 with it off and gain a few more seconds later.

Now, there are two cases that look to be the same

http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innoca...PTB0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1316740449&sr=8-4

http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-SURFAC...RWU2/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1316740449&sr=8-9

It's as if they are calling them two separate things even though they appear to be the same?

In looking at those cases, the design may be why some say it's fine with GPS. The GPS spring-connected antenna is on the backplate that holds the LED. If it's opened nicely, you get a clear shot. If it's covered with crap (as mine only has a hole for the led), it sucks. Just an assumption until I figure out which to buy.
[HTC Inspire 4G] popupstoppa:
I personally have the S-wave black case. If I need the navigation on my phone, I just take the case off. Problem solved :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] crypted:
Yeah, I'm tired of taking this case off every time I need to test my patch!
[HTC Inspire 4G] singforpain:

[HTC Inspire 4G] crypted:
What about it?

FYI: The innocase is awesome!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
I use the Speck Candy and have zero issue w/ either GPS or Cellular signals. My only complaint is the thin piece(specifically the plastic portion, the rubber stays in tact) at the bottom below the front bezel tends to crack, but the case is warranted for a yr. I've replaced mine for this piece breaking w/out issue at the ATT store.

The piece I'm referring to is the thin section that's against my leg in the photo.

Here's with the case on.

Use ADW EX with the maximum amount of columns and rows. Widgets set to autosize and stretch overlap. Use minimalistic text widget for the clock, as well as for all the hidden shortcuts you place over aspects of the wallpaper, eg for youtube. Then use desktop visualiser to create the app shortcuts above the dock bar. Use a transparent dock with transparent icons linking as follows: apps apps default-screen phone phone. Use simi folder for the game genres. Set each screens wallpaper via multi picture live wallpaper, with the fade transition.

And to be honest, the name "Ice Cream Sandwich" is the dumbest name ever for Android software.

Icecream

I mean, Froyo is Frozen Yogurt, it's in the family of ice cream..it should be a totally different dessert.

Don't forget that IceCreamSandwich will probably include on screen Home-Menu-Return buttons.

It must start with an "I", not a C...
[Android Themes] GANJDROID:
To me, the leaked images of ICS just looked like Gingerbread, but CM7 themed..

And I agree, Ice Cream Sandwich is a bit stupid, but with the food theme they're running, there aren't many things they could go with. :/

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyr0sphere:
Right now I'm using RoyalGinger 3.0 on my HTC Panache.

I know that it's based on CM7, but if I switch to the actual CM7 Nightly or Faux's ROM which I'm also considering, will I get noticeable improvements in battery if I maintain the exact same usage patterns?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Hmm. That's difficult to answer. RG has really good battery life. Faux's ROMs focus more on raw speed than battery life, but still give decent battery life. CM7 doesn't have as good of battery life as RG, but usually lasts all day with all but heavy usage. At least, that's what I've found. Your mileage may vary. Your choice of kernel is important, so keep that in mind.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyr0sphere:
With moderate usage, I average roughly 11-13 hours using Royal Ginger and the kernel it comes with. Couldn't really find any benchmarks so not sure whether this is typical or not

This is with brightness set at the absolute lowest (Display On roughly 3 hours), Wifi never on, GPS never on.

OC'd at 1.1/245 smartass. Trying out On Demand to see if there is any difference
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rillusion08:
Well I know its not RG or CM7 but I run Virtuous Unity 2.35 and I am averaging 16-20 hours of battery with a average of 2.5-4.5 hours of display. It all depends on what you do with the phone.

There are many ways to help improve battery life. For instance Battery Calibration on the market. Follow those instructions and you wont go wrong. Another being Juice Defender (paid or free). A friend of mine is using an AOSP rom for his Evo and is averaging 30+ hours with Juice Defender.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyr0sphere:
Had no idea about that Battery Calibration app. When I flashed RG (and now MIUI), all I did was let the battery run down to 2% through regular usage and do a full charge until 100%

Flashed MIUI the other day, which I've heard nothing but good things about, including battery life, and am following the instructions of Battery Calibration now.

Not the biggest fan of Juice Defender. Had used the free version for a few days, and I found that sometimes it wouldn't re-initiate my data after the screen turned back on (which seems to be one of the more prominent features to save battery)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rillusion08:
I agree with the Juiced Defender, that's the reason I don't use it.

For instance, when we are car pooling to school he has problems keeping pandora playing because Juiced kept turning data off. So he disables it when we are driving.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aysiu:
You don't have to use Juice Defender, of course, but the reason it re-initiates data when you turn the screen back on is that it turns the data off when the screen turns off. Turning the data off is what saves battery.

Open with 7zip or unzip directory

Delete apks

Optimise pngs

Close archive/zip

Sign and install

All my apps are working fine (not actually gotten to optimising the pngs yet) but finding that:
