Pretty obvious to me that Life360 and USAA SafePilot are using a lot of battery. It's probably because of the continuous GPS tracking. Unfortunately if you have tracking apps running in the background 24/7 you can't expect a decent battery life. Here's some suggestions to improve your situation:

1. Get rid of the tracking and SafePilot apps altoghether, this would make the biggest difference;

2. Try to find alternatives to these apps that consume less juice;

3. Within the apps, navigate the menu and check if there are options to reduce accuracy or extend the period between tracking pings;

4. Reduce GPS accuracy, if allowed by the apps to keep working, by going to Settings-Location-Location Services and disable Wi-Fi Scanning and/or Bluetooth Scanning, then in the same menu tap google location accuracy and turn it off. All of these, of course, will decrease the accuracy and responsiveness of tracking;

6. In Device Manager, go to Battery-More battery settings ad toggle ON Adaptive battery. This for sure will save power but you have to let it learn your usage for a few days, give it a try if it's disabled and wait for about a week in order for it to be effective;

7. Check your nework (4G-5G) availability. Sometimes a bad battery life comes from bad signal. If you have bad signal in the areas you normally are, then consider changing your network provider;

8. Turn the Processing Power to Optimized or High;

9. Keep the phone away from warm environments like the car dashboard;

10. Try to not use the phone while charging;

11. Get rid of all the apps you don't use. Some apps, even if not shown in the battery resume, can drain small amounts of juice but combined can make a noticeable difference. A good (BAD) example of this are in your case the Facebook and TikTok apps;

12. Last resort would be a full device reset, starting from scratch and not importing your backed up settings. It can be a long and frustrating process but, given that you can always restore all your data if you make a backup, it can solve some underlying issue that is not easy to identify;

13. Keep your phone always updated, specially for a new device as the S22 Ultra the first updates make a huge impact on power management;

14. Try to harge your phone before going to bed, unplug it while sleeping and eventualy top up in the morning if you need that few extra percentages for the day; furthermore, is in general a good idea to keep the battery percentage between 20% and 80%, don't get to 100% if not strictly needed and start charging as soon as you are approaching 20%, of course if it's possible at all; in the medium-long term, this makes a huge difference on battery health;

Even if you do a lot of these things, don't expect your battery life to double or something like that. You are having a pretty bad battery life but it's not tragic as I can see you get a full day of usage. It's for sure possible to improve it!

I did get rid of the safepilot for a little to see if it would have an effect but it didn't do much from the looks of it
[Touch HD General] kersh:
Hi!

First of all, I buy 2 days ago a Touch HD (im getting this week), but all the more I read, my thinks are that HD is not a great device finally.

Pros

- Big screen

Cons

- GPS Lag (ultra important)

- Video doesnt play smooth (80 90%) on coreplayer and have lag

- Camera lag and bad quality photos.

- No 30fps@vga videos

- Lot of devices with dead pixels

So, why buy this device instead staying on a Diamond/pro or buying a X1? If I stay, I only lose a bigger screen that not cost 600€ for me (usb from the diamond have adapters to 3.5 minijack), and if you buy a X1, only lose the big screen but wins all of the cons of HTC devices plus more ram and better battery.

So, what are your reason to buy the Touch HD? Im thinking on cancel my order on monday.
[Touch HD General] stesa:
yes, cancel your order and buy an iphone , this solve all probs about camera , recording , gps lag etcetc :D
[Touch HD General] gogol:
I doubt this ... because:

I am not sure that this big screen is effective enough. For watching movie and video, yes it is. However, for browsing the internet, without a doubt, you can see more content compare to 2.8" screen ... but is it directly readable without zooming? I dont think so ... Still nice though.

I dont think so, the first 2 owners from The Netherlands confirmed that the GPS Lag does not exist in this device.

But, again, no more report from other owner ...

I saw couple of examples from YouTube, I think it plays quite well. I dont see lag nor delay.

Oh yeah, it does not play 720p nor 1080p :)

Agree, I think the camera still sux ... or worse (more shutter-lag because of the 5 MP?)

Which Windows Mobile phone can do that?

For sure, iPhone cant do that.

This is bad ... probably we need to start counting how many percent have dead pixel. Poll anyone?

Touch Diamond + Pro ---> GPS Lag :)

X1 ---> Slow performance???

My reason? I dont know ... probably I will stick with my Kaiser ... and wait the next 3.8" WinMo ...

Or probably wait WinMo 6.5? Probably this can add some more functionalities.
[Touch HD General] Insaneboy:
Well right now i want a WinMo device and i want it with a 3.5mm audio jack, so that leaves me with two options:

X1 and Touch HD

Since X1 doesnt have an acclerometer (which WinMo7 is going to use heavily), has a recessed screen and TouchFlo doesnt play nice with it yet and since i can't use the keyboard fully in my language, i'd rather go with Touch HD's bigger screen.

GPS and camera aren't so crucial for me (for 3 years on my old nokia, i've used the camera ~10 times, haven't had a GPS and don't imagine i'll need it much (though its nice to have)).

Devices with dead pixels are covered by warranty, so that shouldnt be a problem.

And the only other argument you have is video doesnt play smooth, which isnt that good, since i plan on using it a lot, but when i asked here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443245 the guy says that non-AC3 movies from the net play ok and on one review, the reviewer was playing an ep of House on it and it looked OK to me, so i guess it'll do for me.

Actually it is. Played for 30 mins with one at a shop the other day and zoomed out everything was perfectly readable for me (though i'm young and don't use glasses, don't know about old folks :p (a lady at the Xperia forum returned it for that very reason)) the only thing that bugged me is that you can't click links directly from a zoomed out standpoint, first you have to zoom in, but that's Opera's fault, not Touch HD's. The guys at Opera should fix it :p

X1 can and it haa pretty much the same specs as Touch HD, except for the camera, maybe that's the problem.

Also Nokia N95 :p

iPhone might as well not have a camera :p
[Touch HD General] indup:
its a nice phone but not the killer device it was hyped up to be, but i hope it will improve god willing when the developers have a go at it.
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
...Frankly speaking, you should have waited if you had been disappointed by the HTC devices in general. If you don't like to fiddle with your telephone, suffer for improvements, contribute to it and refresh your OS every week - then an HTC is probably not the better choice, many other companies make good telephones and similar sexy toys. The touch HD is, in my opinion, the most innovative personal platform which has appeared in the last years - it just misses Linux which will arrive soon...

i think that HTC telephones are a technology platform to have fun, like PCs 20 years ago.

If you were expecting an "out of the box" apple performances and finished ergonomics there is no need of investigating: i would suggest to cancel your order and buy an I***** (...oops, i cannot even write it....maybe an allergy? :o)
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
BTW, i have a touch HD already and i have been driving at least two hours with it and i continously hear about the GPS lag: WHICH GPS lag? If it is a 20 m lag, at which speed you drive?

Since there is a lot of speculation, shouldn't everybody clarify if they heard/read about a problem from internet, or they had/saw the problem themselves?

:)
[Touch HD General] Insaneboy:
What speeds do you drive at? :p
[Touch HD General] kersh:
For the ones that say that I need and i****, I am not gonna buy and apple device in my life, but is frustrating seeing the same errors on every new device of HTC.

playbacks issues, gps lag, bad sound quality, etc etc

And the touch hd who can be the perfect model if they fix this, now is the same with a bigger screen, thats the problem, they sell the same again and again.

And the gps lag is not only 20 metters it is maybe more than 40 50 in some situations and the gps lag of the diamond have made me to skip a lot of detours and streets, it is a BIG issue.
[Touch HD General] kersh:
Others confirming that big gps lag exists, reviews included.

In youtube you cant see much, you need to use coreplayer benchmark or so and that have about 80%, that it is 20fps instead 25 on videos, so not smooth video playing

X1 can do and really great

yes, same **** that hd touch, very important issue on latest htc's

x1 slow performance? It have better performance, more ram, no video issues.
[Touch HD General] ardsar:
compared with the touch pro, the touch hd is a big improvment. Battery life seems increadable - with the same use the touvch pro would have died hours ago and i still have 50 % left!1 Gps sensitivity is as good as my old kaiser - the touch pro could never get a lock indoors.

Not sure what htc have done, but its all good.
[Touch HD General] nu_D:
Coreplayer says 80% so the video playback is bad?

...

lol

Ok.

TonyPlayer says 100.5%.

:D
[Touch HD General] Insaneboy:
All these reports of crappy video playback are starting to worry me, that's one of the main reasons why i'm buying it...
[Touch HD General] SingaporeAirlines:
Why do you use CorePlayer when WM6.1 comes with Windows Media Player ?
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
Dear Kersh,

i don't understand what is real and what is speculation: which sound quality? which lag? which playback issues? which etc.etc.?

I have been driving with it on highways, city and walking my dog. I couldn't see any lag. If the diamond had a lag (i don't know) you should not extrapolate that the touch HD behaves in the same way. Please let me know of a conclusive and quantitative test you'd like to see and I'll try it out.

I have one and i am very happy. At the same time, software improvements on such a machine can make it improve even further and extend the satisfaction of owners for years. In my opinion, this device offers the best performances which are available on the market today.

My old trinity improved a lot with time - thanks to the people here trying hard to improve these devices!

By the way, I don't believe that Iphones are bad at all - simply they are like Apple PC: good for my mother and my wife - but i want to be at the frontline and contribute to it.

All the Best, ;)
[Touch HD General] ChefChaudart:
Let's make it clear iGO v8.3.1.57021 corrects the lag ! and many more improvments :cool:
[Touch HD General] iznee:
Dear pzucchel,

as u mentioned in the second paragraph,would u be kind enough to do some simple test for the gps lag issue.can u drive at a speed of 80 to 100 km/h,when you physically reach a junction or an interchange ,where is the current location(i.e car icon or triangle) of your device showing? if its exactly parallel to the junction or interchange,than there is no lag..the difference between your physical location and your device location is the actual lag.Another simple test is when your car has physically turn into a junction,how long would the device take to show you are now driving on a new road and direction.and if you could be kind enough to specify what navigation program you used for the test..that will be wonderful.

Thanks in advance for your help
[Touch HD General] hite:
I've been looking forward to the touch hd for a bit now, and I still plan to get it. If there is anything i have learnt from these forums is how a lot of problems is software based.

Anyway, one main reason i'm getting it is that chance to have android on it when it gets ported on.
[Touch HD General] esackbauer:
It depends on the software you use.

I have tried Garmin XT and iGO 8.3.1 on my HTC Trinity.

The Garmin was always a little bit behind, where iGO was always on spot!

And guess what:

I have tried both on my Touch HD, and have exactly the same findings!
[Touch HD General] JASTECH:
I too like Android OS on the cell phone. I have been trying to tolerate the Sammy i760 I am now using, but the HD and the Omnia 16gb both look good. I also am thinking of the Invidia Tegra 600 series as it WILL play at 30fps. Would this be the "one" to wait for? or is it in something and I don't know due to all the Dr's I have to see and travel too? Thanks, JASTECH

[Touch HD General] trentend:
We delayed renewing our company phones, because there was little around objectively better than our tytn's (for our needs) until the diamond came out. Kaiser was a damp squib, and genuinely enhanced capability (in terms of a business device) seems to have dried up recently, with size (of device, and resolution of screen) becoming the only important differentiator. Recent efforts from Nokia and HTC have left us decidedly underwhlemed and blackberry looks to have a big lead on useabiliy in the business markets (I'm not a fan of Blackberry, but they objectively seem to be stealing what I would have previously considered to be Windows Mobile turf - a failure to deliver a modern mobile platform, despite having years of a head start, may well end up costing Micro$oft big). SE totally dropped the ball after the P900 (at the time a great business phone). It's no surprise to me the success the iphone has had. It's a flawed device, but it's both competent and differentiated in ways that the major handset manufacturers have failed to deliver to the smartphone market. I know large corporations evaluating the iPhone for business use, because their executives want one. They are considering adapting their processes around the phone. Unless Nokia, android, and Microsoft (WM7) get their arses into gear quickly they're going to lose huge ground and market share.....and don't think apple are standing still, or are unprepared to partner with large organisations to offer business level services. They have a working platform, they have control of it, they have market traction. I honestly think I might have bought my last WM phone. The HD is a fabulously specified piece of hardware (less capacitive screen and compass), what it really needs is a decent operating system to make it shine. Imagine HD level hardware, an iphone like interface, and Windows mobile level applications variety and support. Then ask yourself which platform is likely to integrate those first. That will be the big winner in the smartphone market. I expect Android and iPhone to converge on the same market space and WM to be left behind.

Microsoft only really understand features, they don't understand user experience. A lot of users have had enough - apple have showed them another way. The market is now changing so that people accept limitations in functionality, as long as a device delivers genuine usability. For all the things that my WM phone have been able to do over the years, I have only infrequently used most of those features because of the level of setup, maintenance and downright hassle in use. Apple broke the mould not because it's a good smartphone, because in any objective sense it isn't, rather because it allows people access to a subset of features which is more than they would otherwise use because of complexity and inaccessibility in other devices.

I'm really pulling for Android, but I'm not hopeful given that they have basically released a prototype, and no decent modern andoid smartphones seem anywhere near on the horizon. You can't build a solid market base with the G1 alone.
[Touch HD General] hite:
Well yes I agree that the iphone is a very nice phone, and WM is seriously lagging behind usability which will eventually be their undoing. But to me, at the moment android and iphone are the only 2 os flying ahead of the rest.

Though Android is a fairly flawed os, don't forget it's firstly a completely new concept for google to work on (unless someone can prove me wrong) and i think they're quite dependant on users modding it.

The good thing about android is that it can be modded to work on most phones (hey the touch dual can run it so why not the HD). So hopefully the quite strong specs (IMO) of the HD coupled with android (once it been refined and optimized a little) it should create good competition with the iphone, much more so than WM.

Thats my 2p.
[Touch HD General] gogol:
Which review?

Which software?

Which version?

And how about other reviews that show it does not have lag?

Dont you know that each video file could have:

- Different resolution

- Different video codec

- Different Audio codec

???

Oh, probably you dont know ...

Fine ... now you know which one you choose, dont you?

Theoritically yes, but in reality? I saw the panels of x1, and it slowwwww.

Me myself are not convince yet with Touch HD ... but in my opinion, it is better than x1 :)
[Touch HD General] SingaporeAirlines:
Taking price aside, which I'm still in arguments with my provider regarding my loyalty about, the concensus seems to be:

X1: has got a physical QWERTY keyboard. I like the resolution of the screen but....

Touch HD: has got a larger screen, supposedly better for web browsing (though problems clicking hyperlinks from afar according to Slashgear).... has got a larger screen.

I'm on the verge of ordering the Touch HD. Panels don't do much for me to be perfectly honest. X1 does look impressive though physically.
[Touch HD General] daniel76:
i think its graet !!!
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
Hi, i can actually answer since this is what i did today by trying to understand what is this infamous "diamond" gls lag. I am testing tomtom7 in full vga mode. If i start a turn, WITHIN a second i see that the 2D image (track on top) starts turning. If i see a road on the right at 70 km/h, it is the time to look the road - look forward - give a glance to the GPS without making an accident - and yes it is ALMOST simultaneous.

But this is the wrong test, in my opinion. Apps running in background, the navigator is computing the route, graphics is being displayed. This is SOFTWARE, not hardware!

...it happens i know how gps works. There is a signal every SECOND providing you the position, all the rest is SOFTWARE and interpolation and running averages.

Other info: fix is DAMN quick! coming from the trinity, i get a fix in less than 1-2 seconds!!! of course, quickgps driven - but it lasts 7days in the future so no way i will not connect my HD for such a long time!

precision: i walked my dog around with gwatch, and studied my path with google earth. No random points, very constant and reproducible path (without assisted GPS).

;);););)
[Touch HD General] globalgpj:
What GPS car holder is available for the HD ?
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
it is a generic one from ebay which was ok with my glorious trinity!

it works without any issue with the HD, apart from the fact that the loudspeaker doesn't pick the signal fro extusb, and the HD realizes it and notifies it to you!
[Touch HD General] sail0r:
Do you saw all that issues, or just heard/read about them?
[Touch HD General] nu_D:
Seriously. Where are you getting all of this from?

Does the HD make phone calls or does it not do that either?

Wait.

It has no keypad! How can it dial a number!?!?!?!? :eek: :eek:

There are no playback issues. Well, it cannot play HD quality but I am not sure I want a 4GB movie on my memory stick anyway. If a video is pretty great quality you might have to encode it to DIVX or something, but that's something that is pretty standard fair- even the iPhone needs you to encode videos in order for them to be played. The GPS lag seems to be limited to Google Maps, seems like other software works perfectly. The sound quality seems to be top notch as far as I have been able to gather.

So. I don't know what you are talking about nor where you're getting it from.

You are like a giant annoying ass rain cloud. Rain rain go away don't come back another day until you're a big white fluffy cloud! :p
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
let's stick to facts: sound quality, in my opinion, is great - anybody having a different DIRECT experience?
[Touch HD General] leek:
Wow, all these opinions from non-owners.

I will install CoPiliot Live 6 and see about the GPS lag, but I suspect it's a software issue.

Keep in mind "gps lag" could mean two different things: The time it takes to make an initial fix, or the lag between your moving to a new position and it being reflected on a map. The latter is highly software-dependent.

Fix times were fast for me, even inside of buildings. I was able to run Google Maps and get a satellite view of the building I was in, in the part of the building I was standing. It took longer to download the images from Google Maps than it did to get the fix.

Everyone has different expectations about phones, so unless we stick with facts, it will go nowhere.

I never intended to use the Touch HD as a portable movie device or action gaming device. Nonetheless its performance in watching videos has been acceptable. I suspect it will improve over time as things are tweaked.

The camera is useless except for emergency pictures, but seeing as I'm awaiting the Canon 5d Mark ii, no phone camera will ever meet my expectations :D The Touch HD's autofocus time is very slow. My XDA Flame's camera was much better, and had a bright flashlight LED.

What the Touch HD is great for is a portable Outlook device. Email, Calendar, Tasks, Communicator Mobile.

I think of the Touch HD as being in the same target group as a Blackberry Storm, but with the much preferable WinMo OS and customizability that we've come to expect from WinMo devices.

Software issues rarely enter into whether a WinMo device is good or bad for me. If a phone's WinMo software is bad, it can be replaced. That's what distinguishes WinMo phones from non-WinMo phones -- the software is very customizable and there's plenty of options to choose from. I'm sure many software issues will be fixed here.

What's important is that the Touch HD is the first GSM WinMo phone out since the XDA Flame which has a 3.5" or larger VGA screen, yet can still fit comfortably in your pocket. That is a rare intersection these days :(

GPS Lag

I know from having TomTom on my Diamond that I had no lag at all for ages untill I installed Google navigator GPS Software and from then on it had lag in TomTom, so I do believe it is a software issue, NOT Hardware for me.
