I've only had 2 android phones and this one has the same battery life as the other one on sense. Over all battery is not an issue with this phone. I was scared because of all the crap I read about the tbolt lol. whenever we get undervolted kernels it will improve. As will the heating problem some are talking about.
[HTC Rezound] rjackson23:
I'm not getting good battery life with my rezound is the setting u using
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I have mine set to normal, sync is on, I don't have many appear running in the background. Display is at like 15& cuz its perfect for me unless I'm in the sun. I'm even using the sense wallpaper and everything.

Been off the charger for 5 hours, 40 minutes display on and 15 minutes of phone calls and I'm on 85%
[HTC Rezound] sr71pav:
What battery monitor are people using that you can see the percent? If its built-in then I must be looking past it. I liked that part of CM on my nexus one.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Under your About Phone settings then Battery. If you tap on "Battery Use" all this info will pop up
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
does it show percentage there? I can't see it :-( I use a widget to check my percentage after I use it a lot just to see how the usage affected it. I don't leave it running though. Just pop it on my screen and remove it. There are a ton of apps and Widgets that will give you this reading though.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Yup...It breaks down to the percentages once you tap "Battery Use"
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
O I thought you meant it shows the battery life percentage :-P
[HTC Rezound] nev310:
Are you all doing any thing special to get 12 hours of battery life. I just got my phone today and noticed the different battery settings for performance and battery saving.
[HTC Rezound] nev310:
Battery indicator is what I use to show battery percentage
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
Woot, got 17 hours today haha
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
yours seems to be awake a lot, are you running extra stuff?
[HTC Rezound] dukins:
My battery life on stock battery is abysmal to horrible. I'm a heavy user, basically running a business from my phone. With extended battery I can get close to 18 hours plus.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
Platinum, nope...I just use it a lot lol ny awake time mostly coorelates to my screen on time...but other times I guess stuff is running in the background, but I don't really have much on here..I have about 2.5 pages of installed apps
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Er u can't really see it because I can't seem to work the snap shot correctly lol.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
But yours seems to be awake a little more than mine... Then again, I keep al those stupid bloat apps force closed most of the time.

Don't know if that will make a huge difference, but its either that or maybe you live a lower coverage area? Hell. But your phone is awake a good bit more
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
This is all I keep running. Well try to anyway. Lol. U know how stuff likes to just pop up with stock devices.

Clearly I need to reboot my phone. I didn't realize its been that long... I like to reboot once a day usually.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah dude, i don't kill apps, EVER, unless they're an issue..that's not how you're supposed to use android haha they're supposed to be open..if it's cached, then it's not using any memory/cpu/battery.

yeah my awake time is a lot, but my screen on time is a lot too, cuz i use it a lot lol and i have around -82 dbm service at my house, which is pretty good. i also got 17 hours out of mine yesterday lol i'd say that's pretty damn good
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I don't clear the cached ones just the running ones... There's no reason for facebook and slacker and that backup sync to be running. Or HTC location and download manager.... I guess I'm just paranoid about that kind of stuff using data I pay for to potentially take info off of my phone... If I was rooted on a stripped rom it wouldn't ever be background running unless I had some kind of auto refresh and stuff...

17 hrs is good :-) so glad this phone gets descent/good battery life... I saw a post about an 1800mah battery that I'm curious about, if it fits in the stock cover and is a good quality battery like OEMs I would get one
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah i'd like to get the 1800 as well.

as for those apps, every time you close them, they re-open fyi..automatically, too..and that eats up battery
[HTC Rezound] tmach:
Don't have a picture of it, but the most I've been able to get out of a 1750 battery on my Dinc was just over 41 hours... That was on Miui with Juice Defender and min speed set to 128mhz with setCPU. That was also VERY light usage. Normal use with that setup was 24 hours or so.

Using any HTC Sense OM I'm lucky to get 12 hours with the same settings. But I like Sense right now and 12 hours is enough most days.
[HTC Rezound] michaelkahl:
Today after 3 1/2 hours I was down to 48% battery on the stock battery, network extender (providing -55 to -65db signal) and on WiFi for data. There was very little usage, 36 minutes of screen on time. So I charged it to full before heading to my parents and my battery was still dropping like a rock. 3 1/2 hours again and I was down to around 58% with a 3g signal at -60db. I did a factory reset, currently have tried two separate batteries, and yield the same results. My battery is running at 95F when the phone is idle. I'm worried that it's a little high.
[HTC Rezound] cisco723:
I had a friend have the same issue with his Thunderbolt when he first got it. Running very hot and eating the battery ridicously fast, I mean ridicously like yours is. What happened what that he had a bad battery, took it to Verizon and they were able to provide another. Fixed the issue, maybe you should try to take it to them, could be the same issue.

how to take care of your battery and get the best out it

http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Your-Cell-Phone-Battery-Last-Longer

---------- Post added at 04:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 AM ----------

Keep the battery cool. Put the battery in the freezer or fridge. Your battery will last longest if used near room temperature, and nothing wears on a battery like extended exposure to high temperatures. While you can’t control the weather, you can avoid leaving your phone in a hot car or in direct sunlight, and you don’t have to carry your phone in your pocket, where your body heat will raise its temperature. In addition, check the battery while it’s charging. If it seems excessively hot, your charger may be malfunctioning.avoid this one.because condensation can destroy your battery and your phone.

[HTC Rezound] Mordecaidrake:
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong here, but I seem to be getting worse battery life on my Rezound than I did on my Thunderbolt. I've got the screen set to auto, 4g is on as I'm in a a 4g area, wifi is on only when at home and I'm at ~40% after 7hrs 57minutes. I only have my Google account set to sync, weather updates every 3 hours, and sync is turned off on all my other apps. Thoughts?
[HTC Rezound] androidrookie84:
Last like 3 hours of heavy usage and about 7 hours on moderate usage
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
With no data on at all 105 texts and 58 phone talking minutes, just a few hours shy of 4 days.

Using it fully including Facebook and twitter and taking video (no 4g here) and playing with it showing it off (since it is the best phone money can buy right now imo) it was down to 60%. Internet off at night left me at 57% when I woke up. Finally crying for charger after playing games and reading news in between football games (20 hours).

If people are using automatic msn and aim login, Facebook chat widget, Facebook syncing every 30 minutes, Twitter the same, a non-gmail email account syncing every 15, an intense live wallpaper, and WiFi staying on without connecting... Etc etc.

The ONLY reason Sense "uses more battery" is the fact that it offers you more social syncing and easier setup for email and social networks.

I'm completely sick of people who have no business writing articles about Android berating the battery life of HTC phones. It's completely misunderstood.
[HTC Rezound] Mordecaidrake:
While that is true, the man reason you're seeing that battery life is due to the fact that you have data off.
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
Absolutely.

The point was that Sense merely enables you to do more (cool) things with your phone. If a very non_technical person has an htc in their hands, it's easy to see how they could set themselves up with weak battery life.

I always make my friends lives better when they ask me how to make their battery last and I show them how to toggle data. It's invaluable when you need to stretch battery.

I'm amazed to find the number of users who literally have no idea that It's even possible to turn off data.

This is they best I've gotten so far.

[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Here is a quote of a post I wrote a few months back concerning battery life. (I was referring to the battery in the MT4G with the 1400mAh bits, but the idea is the same for the Rezound, just with a 1650mAh battery)

I would love to see an app that allows you to measure energy consumption (mA) over time with a total energy used (mAh) measurement. If it measured the energy used in mA at any given time and also provided useful info like screen state, radio state, wifi, etc It would be very useful to know exactly where energy is going. Sure the current battery info system in use in Android right now provides a rough view of this info, but more detail would be extremely helpful. If Android allowed the option to show the extra info for those that want it, that would be great, as it is built into the OS.
[HTC Rezound] Raibyn:
I don't understand how some people are getting the battery life they are reporting. I get a consistent 7 hours or so with light usage during the day when I am at work. Less if I actually use the phone to play games or surf the web, etc. I don't consider this all that great. I got 10 hours on the battery overnight without using it at all. I had 4G turned off, the screen was off, phone was not used at all, and I only got 10 hours. Did I get a bad battery?
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Yes, I can use my phone lightly for 2 days without charging it. But I get a full day and some with normal usage... phone has pretty descent battery life, try to swap the battery. Or the phone lol. If its not running hot or doing weird things then its probably the battery
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
First day not actually messing with my phone under normal usage. Pretty much on 4G all day with moderate usage. I even used the LED light for about 5 minutes when changing out my brake light haha.

Not too bad I guess.

[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Just now hitting 40% and I don't think my phone was fully charged when I took it off the charger. But it was close.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I used my new Rezound for the first whole day at work yesterday.

When I bought it, I bought two extended batteries with it because I knew I would need them the way I use it. The extra size does not bother me at all, it gives me more to grip onto & fits my hand perfectly.

I came from a custom ROMed Droid Charge (2.3.6 W/imoseyon 4.0, fugu tweaks etc etc etc) & I could actually kill a 3500 battery in that before I got through a total work day (& that's with it locked on 3G 99% of the time).

I spend the morning at work streaming audio with iheart radio & when the show I listen to on that ends at 11AM, I switch to more streaming audio listening to the NFL football network on Sirius Radio.

Yesterday I started work before 9AM & did exactly the same audio streaming with one of the 2750 extended batts & to my amazement I still had a running phone at 5:30 PM. I walked in the house at close to 6PM with the battery running on fumes but it hadn't died yet.

This was with GPS on, 4G on all day & Gmail set to push. I sent received about 30 text & made a few short phone calls also. I can't believe this battery life, it absolutely BLOWS AWAY my Charge with a smaller battery (I was not expecting that at all)

I keep my screen brightness turned down almost to the bottom, and turned off data always on, my battery life is in the 15-20 hour range. I still get all my notifications, and no data/voice hiccups.

[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Dam nice. I guess ill look into it
[HTC Rezound] DaMaDo:
Turning off the 4G and setting the screen brightness to 25% (which is perfect IMO) really helped me. I've been using it as I normally do now and got just over 48 hours (with normal battery):
[HTC Rezound] spoikle:
wow!

that is AMAZING battery life! im basically set all my settings to lowest battery consumption possible, but i still only get 12-14 hours. How in the world are you getting 48 hours?! I'm assuming it's because you rooted + removed bloatware, does that typically give u 30%+ battery life?

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

also, does doing that bump charge thing give you a huge upgrade to your bat life?
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
It's a pretty quick way to ruin a battery if done too much.

~John
[HTC Rezound] Raibyn:
After reading the posts here, I decided my phone and/or battery were defective. I would only get 5 hours of battery life if I actually used the phone at all. It was also getting very hot when used. Last night I went back to Verizon, talked to them, and got them to give me a new phone. The difference is like night and day. New phone and battery are running much cooler, and I'm at 63% battery life right now after 8 hours of what I consider normal use. So, if you are getting really bad battery life or your phone is running hot enough to fry an egg, it is definitely worth considering a return and exchange.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Here you guys go! Figure out this anomaly!
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
That screems bad battery.....
[HTC Rezound] dangerousjenny:
Ok hopefully that image shows up but I tested the phone with 4g on the whole time and medium use. Performance settings. I got 10 hours up time and 5:30 awake time. Considering my Eris would drain if it was on 3g constantly I figured that was pretty good for me. I get much longer time out of it when I toggle 4g off when I am not using it which I already had a habit of.
[HTC Rezound] hotleadsingerguy:
Not to downplay your results...but that's still not very good. For LTE, it's not horrible, but for anything else that's miserable.

I'm only using a Rezound temporarily until the Nexus launches, but I'm coming from a Galaxy S II. Using my GSII I'd have moderate usage throughout the day. 40 min drive, each way, to work using both WiFi and Bluetooth (connected to my car using both). At work it's on WiFi probably 4/5 days a week, but when a lot of customers are there I just use 4G (because they all sit on their laptops eating our bandwidth lol I use the "guest" connection, which uses a completely different network connection to the ISP, so when we have 30-40 customers in it slows down that line a bit).

Anyway, with moderate usage under those conditions (and auto brightness on all the time) I end the day with usually 40-50% battery remaining. That's unplugging it at 7:30am and plugging it in at 11:30pm every day. The Rezound still eats battery pretty swiftly. The bad part of it is that it drains even on WiFi...why? On WiFi it should perform *pretty much* to the same degree as every other late-model Android phone. It probably doesn't even have the LTE radio powered up at that time.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
How do you disable 4G but still keep 3G?
[HTC Rezound] champdr0id:
If you don't live in or frequent to a 4G area...

My battery life is amazing. Unplugged my phone 17 hours ago and used it quite a bit (no 4G, no wi-fi (wi-fi wasn't turned off), all 3G). No recharge yet. Only used 1/3 of the battery :)
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
in the market there is an app called LTE on off. You can set it to CDMA prl for 3g only.

As far as battery life goes, I mostly plug in alot, but last night I was charger-less and made it 10 hours using maybe 60% battery on wifi and sprint roaming. But I didn't use the phone much.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Under Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > CDMA only.
[HTC Rezound] hotleadsingerguy:
Or you can set it from Android in the Wireless Network settings. I'd rather do it from there than from inside of an app.

Elixer shows mA usage. It has allot of cool stuff

Sent from my HTC Rezound
[HTC Rezound] vudu:
So what are people seeing as their typical mA usage when the phone is sleeping and in use? Even with screen off and sleeping, the lowest my phone goes is around -200mA. On my previous phone (the Evo 3D), I think it was less than -100mA when asleep.

I'm still trying to figure out why my battery life is so bad. Already have the extended and it seems to only last me 4-5 hrs screen on time (12-15 hrs total), which is about what I was getting on my Evo 3D with the standard battery (although I was running a custom ROM/kernel).
[HTC Rezound] nev310:
Look up build.prop tweaks to enable deep sleep. Use CPU spy if you over or under click to see what spotted your CPU runs the most.

My phone was in sleep mode for over 10 hours tonight and only got down to 83% from about 90%. I only checked it a few times to see if I had any mails and checked the time. It also uses juice defender to sync every 2 hours but only for a minute.

Edit: sorry for the dark pics I don't know what caused it.

Sent from my HTC Rezound
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I have the extended battery and considering my heavy, non battery saving usage, I consider the 14-16 hours I get to be fine. On 4g, I've seen 700-800 mah usage, but at rest with screen off, I've been down under 50mah.

I would look at what you have installed that could be running in the background or maybe keeping the phone from sleep.
[HTC Rezound] vudu:
What is your display on time? Also, I'm not even on 4G, just 3g. During actual use of the phone, the drain has gotten as high as 1100ma.

I have checked the awake time and it seems normal. The phone goes into deep sleep fine, though is does wake here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary from my past experience. I'm giving it a full charge and will post screen shots of the use profile and battery drain at the end of the day.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I'm on a mix of 4g and wifi, with poor signal at times at work where I jump over to roaming on sprint (we have sprint signal boosters in the hospital for the corp phones).

Are you rooted? I would debloat. You can also freeze apps using clean tool in the dev section without being rooted.

My screen on times vary from night to night depending on my workload, but I consistently get over 12 hours of battery. I have a second extended I can swap if necessary. I will post battery data after tonight.
[HTC Rezound] armchairbear:
decent battery life so far

I have been able to get 11 hours of moderate to heavy use, on 3G and wifi.

My phone is not rooted. I have cycled my battery at least 3 times now. I keep the phone on Performance mode.

This past weekend I tried something different. I kept Mobile Network off until I needed to surf the web once in a while.

I was able to get around 24 hrs of moderate use: played a few games for about 5 mins at a time, a few phone calls, surfed the web a bunch of times at maybe 5 minutes at a time, and used the LEDs as a flashlight 4 times at a few minutes each time.

Decent battery life for a smart phone.

I will continue to cycle the battery at least 7 more times. Next thing I'll try is to uncheck the Always Mobile Network ON option so I won't have to manually manage 3G.
[HTC Rezound] vudu:
Can't figure out how to do the screenshot. But I'm on 19hrs, battery down to 17%. Screen on time is 3hrs 50min. Awake time about 4hrs and 55min. I know the battery monitor widget kept it awake a lot of that extra time, but was trying to determine battery drain. This is after freezing almost everything I didn't need including widgets. Only things really in use were go launcher, the battery monitor widget, 3 Google accounts, kakoatalk.

Battery drain during the night was about 10% from midnight to 6am... Lowest draw was 181mA. Cell signal is okay... It's mostly in the grayish looking shade when looking at the battery usage graph (I see green, light green, and gray... So mostly in the gray, though it still shows 2 or 3 bars). Maybe my signal is not as good as others getting better battery life.

At home its on wifi. I feel like if I used the phone continuously, the extended battery would only last me a little over 5 hours. Was expecting more battery life from the extended - am I unrealistic?
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
What do you think of this? I can't get my phone to not be awake! ! Any ideas on what could be causing it? Could it be push notifications for mail?

Update: I've narrowed it down to either Getjar or HD Widgets, because when I froze both of them, the counter stops when turning the screen off. One of the two has a sick wakelock on my phone.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Testing out the new extended battery today and I could have easily squeaked out 9 hours. I wasn't using it too heavily other than it actually being in use for most of the day listening to music with the screen on. I'm running this bad boy stock and not using any task managers or special battery apps. While wifi and bluetooth have been on all day they haven't been used. My office is in a 3G area and I've been getting emails all day long on my work account and three personal accounts. Screen brightness set to Auto.

Lately I have been getting some amazing battery life out of the extended battery, with brightness on full and 4g on. In the beg. I was never able to get more than 9 hours, but for the last couple of days its been 20+hours steady.
[HTC Rezound] acousticshade:
I've been only able to get around 9-11 hours on the stock battery with light to moderate usage. If I'm running video or games, I can get 4 hours out of the battery at max and that's with all the radios off except wifi. That's with the CPU maxed out (you can check this using CPU Spy).

Personally I'm not really impressed with the battery. Maybe others are getting better results, but I expected more. Still not sure that my battery is slightly nerfed, but it sounds like others are only getting slightly more than 4 hours with the cpu maxed out.

Also, my battery was running at 104 degrees yesterday while playing a game and charging with the USB. I had been running at around 95 degrees before while doing that, so not sure if that's too hot or if that's ok. If that's running too hot, I'll probably return the battery and have Verizon give me a second one to try.
