for those who have it how long does the battery last with a normal use?(calls,sms and internet)Thank you in advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] GavinN:
No exact figure but I can easily go a day without charging and that's using BT carkit for over 1 hour. About 10 calls - 30 mins total and about 10 SMS.

Sometimes have wifi on also in the evenening to use Agile Messenger.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mbn:
Whoa, I can't agree that battery life is good because it depends which model you have and what software you use with it. I have a week old Cingular 8525 with Goodlink in a UMTS area and I get only 14 hours of battery life with low-moderate use of email alone. I turn it on at 6:45am each morning and power is down to 10-20% by 7-8pm and I've barely used the phone. Not great battery life compared to my 8125, which never died, even with heavy voice and Goodlink email usage.

I haven't traveled with my new 8525 yet but when I use it with heavy calling, I'm sure it wont get more than 12 hours, tops. I just bought a second battery because of this. I know battery life with Goodlink on the 8525 is a known issue, and is one of the reasons Cingular delayed its release, but it's REALLY BAD. I have a feeling Cingular is going to be getting more than a few 8525 returns because of poor battery life. If you use Goodlink on the 8525 you 100% need a second battery using the stock ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
i can concur that my 8525 has horrible battery life, i take mine off the charger around 9am, i dont really make calls, but do use pushmail, and some internet usage, mostly text and email, however mine is usually in need of a charge by 9pm when my low battery alert is coming on.. this is mostly in a UMTS area. My 8125 had far better battery life than this... oh the price we pay for speed :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mbn:
Exactly! ;) That's why I bought an extra battery!

Love the 8525 speed, hate the battery life. I thought Goodlink was the problem, but it sounds like it just adds fuel to the bad battery problem.

If/when an updated rom from cingular comes out, I hope battery life will be the primary fix...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
I think its the UMTS thats killing it.. i work in a UMTS area and thats where i see my biggest drain, when i am at home in a Edge area my drain is not nearly as huge, but still a bit more excessive than my 8125
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] balld:
Just my 2 cents: I too believe that searching for/acquiring/holding a UMTS signal might be the cause for such rapid decline in battery power. However, to be fair I must state that 1) I do not live in a UMTS area, but have read similar posts elsewhere 2) I'm a total WM5 newbie(came from a Treo 650 and Moto Razr 3)Am looking forward to travelling to a UMTS area(Texas for me, I live in Oklahoma) to find out if it's all true. Speed/battery drain, etc.

However: I must add, that just this morning. My battery went down to 30% after 3 days usage. No push email/Good, etc. Heavy text messaging, some browsing, and even one phone call that lasted 59 minutes, over speaker phone. Not to mention the other calls, an occasional game of solitaire or bubble breaker. This possible issue is probably why Cingular is looking to release a larger battery in the future, but for me(right now) mine is ok for where I live and what I use it for.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] harryk1372:
i use my hermes in tokyo umts area and have connection always on for my push mail. i receive around 60 emails, a bit of occasional web browsing and less than 20 minutes making/receiving calls a day. i only turn on wifi and bluetooth when i use them but that's not everyday. i tend to agree that the stock battery life is not good enough as it will go down to like 30% in about 12 hours in my case.

i know that umts and connection always on are draining the battery but that's how i want to use it. instead of carrying a spare battery, i decided to purchase Mugen's 3000mAh battery and have started using it from this morning. it's really good as it still shows 80% left even after using it for over 10 hours already since i tooked it off the charger this morning.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] balld:
Hey! Are they available for sale now? Are they in stock? Can you please advise of the website that you used to purchase this battery from? I'm assuming that it comes with the back phone cover, correct? Thanks in advance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] harryk1372:
yup, but it's only available from a japanese online store at the moment.

http://pocketgames.jp/

I don't believe they will ship to overseas though. just send them a note to confirm. it comes with the back phone cover if you mean it by the replacement battery cover. check it out your self at the site.

I'm only getting 8-10 hours on my TyTN. I'm going to be taking it back!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mbn:
Hi Harry- could you post a link to a site to purchase the Mugen 3000mAh battery.

I was searching around and found a 1500mAh battery on Seidioonline (link below). I think I read somewhere (on this site) that advertised power and actual power are 2 very different things, but am encouraged that you are getting 10 hours and are still at 80%!

http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=333
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] harryk1372:
i'm still at 60% after running it for 25 hours without charging. i'll have to fully discharge it 3 times at least before achieving the stated capacity so i'll have to leave it uncharged for another day. what i'm seeing is definitely more than what i expected.

the link to the site from where i purchased it is pasted in my post above.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lanwarrior:
That 1500 mah battery at Seidio Online seems wonderful, but I couldn't find any references or review that comment on the following:

- If it is compatible with the Hermes (8525/TyTn/etc.)

- If it truly provide 11% more talk/standby time

- If charging it with original Hermes charger will damage the phone in anyway or just simply taking longer to charge.

If any of the above is OK, I'd buy it in a heartbeat and make the original 1360 MAH battery my 2nd battery. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] harryk1372:
it is compatible with hermes so you don't have to worry about its compatibility. i don't believe it will damage it with the original hermes charger as i have used it for sometime.

with that said, don't expect any significant difference as it has only 150mah advantage and i couldn't even recognize the difference. i don't think it is worth spending the money unless you just want to get a spare battery but just the stock battery is way cheaper for a spare. i recommend all to go for the 3000mah one from mugen if you need longer battery life.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
so this weekend i am off work and live in a non 3G area.. and all i can say is what a difference there is in battery consumption.. my phone has been off the charger for almost 6 hours and have had moderate usage and i only just recently hit 90%.. now if i was working today i would have already been at the 50-60% range... For my device i can say that 3G kills my battery life... actually i think my battery life in an "edge only" area is very comparable if not better than my 8125.. but in a 3g area i would get better battery life if i just shorted out the contacts on my battery :D (newbs that was joke, *DO NOT* short out the contacts on your battery)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:

1.5 days without recharging?? That's awesome!

I use more or less 45 minutes total call, push email (Cingular XPress mail), pull email (regular Gmail), browsing the net for max 20 minutes, reading RSS for max 30 minutes, 80% backlight, and I am down to 30% by around 7 PM.

That's bad..

Hermes 8525 Battery Life

I get about between 8-14 hours of battery life.

I use push email (ActiveSyc DirectPush) and get approximately 100 emails per day, and I also have an IMAP account set to poll once an hour. I get about 80 messages a day there.

Battery life above is talking less than 10 minutes, replying to about 10-15 messages via email, and reading about 40-50 of the mentioned emails above.

I also have bluetooth enabled for my headset.

This is mostly in a 3g area (though it goes in and out constantly to GPRS).

If I leave it on side by side with my 8125 both synching with the same email accounts and both with bluetooth on, typical, the 8125 will be at approximately 60% while the 8525 is at about 30%, and the BlackBerry Pearl will be at approximately 50% (however, I also have the AIM application running and the GoogleTalk application running on the BlackBerry Pearl.) During the same period of time, my MotoQ with the thick extended battery is at about the same drain as the 8525 (or about 35%). With the standard battery, the Q would be about dead (and the Q is synching with the same activesynce account as all the devices above, but not the IMAP account).

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lanwarrior:
8-14 hours? That's a big difference, 6 hours difference to be exact. What kind of activity will get you 14 hours?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jbcross:
How much impact do today screen items / pgm have on battery consumption? I am ALWAYS in GPRS or no service at all. I have attached a screen shot of my today screen to see if you think it is having an impact. I seem to drop approx 10% per hour... Exchange push mail - 50/ day. 60 mins in phone calls per day avg. Today screen items... phoneAlam, WeatherPanel, Poc Outlook, Palm SMS, Today Agenda.

Thanks for helping a rookie like me !

I have the same issue... When in EDGE, my battery life is ok. Once I hit UMTS my battery screams for help in very short time.

I have a heavy amount of internet usage, and moderate calling.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
talk about a busy today screen.. i dont think those would cause it, your sounds like drain from normal usage... 3G will suck your battery faster and harder than a $2 hooker... i am starting to theorize that push mail may be killing everyone since its continually connected... i might try to disable push mail when i go back to work and see how much my battery drain improves

1.5 days before hitting 20% and getting the alert. This is my 1st battery charge and discharge cycle so I will see if this holds for the duration of the TyTN's stay with me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bdbx18:
Yeah, this is nuts.

Mine is 100% at 6am and 90% at 8am without any usage.

The first day, I hit the 20% alert at 4pm and it gracefully disconnected by BT.

I'm on my 3rd or 4th full charge. How many more charges before it reaches optimum power retention?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lanwarrior:
1.5 days? That's quite impressive! I think this is contributed to the fact that you're not doing push email and the radio for GPRS (or UTMS) is off at your home.

I noticed that with my 8525, many times when it automatically connect to my Exchange server for push email, it wakes up (backlight on) and stays that way until it goes back to "sleep" (1 minute set). Unfortunately, there is no way to disable this for some reason.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bnycastro:
I think push email will impact the battery a lot. maybe keep it sync'd to the desktop/notebook whilst at your desk? that way the battery is kept charged?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lanwarrior:
I always charged my device when I am near my laptop, but the thing is that I am on the road most of the time. The idea of "push email" is not to have it tied to a laptop, so if I am near a laptop all the time, then I don't need push email, do I? :D

The only solution seems to get a larger battery, but so far I haven't found a retailer in US that sell this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
or get a car charger...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bnycastro:
well put hehe. maybe get a spare battery and the cradle that has a slot to charge the extra battery [I've seen it online just can't remember where...] that way you can charge your spare without having to swap batteries.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergiopi:
I agree about push e-mail, UMTS, backgroung appz draining the HERMES battery but IMO the home screen has a primary importance.

If you have A LOT of interesting things (weather, appointments, message status, connection status, device status,...) you ALWAYS play frequently, turning the phone ON to see various info...

You turn the device ON, the light on, then wait the timeout. LOT of power.

Just try to reduce the backlight around 30%, the timeout at minimum and the device timeout at minumun.

Great battery improvement! :) 10-12 ours in an "average use" 12 ours working day (yes, sorry I'm a workalchoolic, but I am trying to stop :) )
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
i agree and disagree with this, yes decreasing the backlight will save you some major battery life. However i dont think necessarily that the information on the today screen kills the battery life, i think its what that program does that kills it (i just woke up and let me see if i can explain myself on this one)..... I think if you had 10 plugins that didnt access the internet then it wouldnt kill your battery, but if you had 10 plugins that did then you will see a greater drain, like weather, rss, etc
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] flashflash:
For me the biggest impact is 3G Push email!!

Disconnected from charger at 9am

With Push enabled, a few calls, few emails, 10 mins browsing im down to 20% by 10pm

With Push enabled , 3G off (GPRS on) and the same above, i will be down to 20% by 6pm the following day.

with push off, 3G on i can get over 48 hours no problem

Here is my contribution to the topic - Cingular 8525. For some reason it came with 1300 mAh. I called and just received 1350 mAh. Even though I am not expecting huge diff.

At home:

Weak 3G signal, good Edge. Switching b/w UMTS and Edge all the time.

Pushmail on, but since I have my outlook on nothing goes to the device

Pull mail - gmail every 7 min.

Backlight - 40%

Display off - 30 sec

Barely browsing and just a few SMS

NO XPress Mail or !@#$ like this

Calls - about 60 min

Off the charger - 9:00 am

Dead at about 7:00 pm

-------------------------

On the road:

Mixed strength 3G signal and Edge. Switching b/w UMTS and Edge all the time.

Pushmail on - got about 100 mails

Pull mail - gmail every 7 min.

Backlight - 40%

Display off - 30 sec

Barely browsing and several SMS

NO XPress Mail or !@#$ like this

Calls - about 80 min

Off the charger - 8:00 am

Now it is about 8:00 pm

Battery status - 40%

-------------------------

Go figure....................... I'll test the new battery and post an update.

confused

guys - interesting thread.

recently my 8525 w jj's WM6 shadow and radio 1.50.00's started sucking batt life, 50percent by noon!

I received a new batt under warranty and the first day it lasted 48 hours before needing charge btu already 5 days later its back to same old! 2 questions...does a radio version lose its functionality over time? reason I stuck w 1.50 was because I had the best srvice of all that I tried and battery used to be fine with it. do the towers or signal would updates to them cause my 1.50 to eventually use more power or is it a stable static usage for each radio version?

second question..I have a pop email I check I have set to every 5 minutes. I recently added two more of them one to 5 min one to 2 hours..would the additional checking emails perhaps cause a drain on the batt? used to be fine just checking one.

its surprising that the new batt lost its 'extra' life so quickly! I plan on turning off 3g and dropping 5 minute email checks to an hour and see if I notice difference. if not ill try an updated radio but was curious if anyone knew firsthand if either one would make a bigger difference.

thanks guys

I've just bought a Nexus 5 and when I type text messages with hangouts I can only see the last 4 lines of the message.

I'm in the habit of sending long texts - 5-6 texts long - with my previous phone, HTC One S, using their stock messaging app the message would scroll up the screen so I could see it all until it went off the top of the screen

How can I replicate that with Hangouts on my Nexus, or at least resize the reply window so that I can see more than 4 lines?

There's one way I know that can solve your problem.

You need to have your phone rooted and Xposed installed.

Then there's a mod called "SMS Xposed" that gives you the option "unlimited textbox".

Which means "Removes the 3-lines height limit for the SMS typing box".

Hope this helps :)
