Nice battery time

I've bought and charged my phone last Thursday. GSM only, using WIFI every day for 15-20 minutes, 10-15 min talk, and it's still at 35-40% after 5 days. I've got a magic battery or what? :D
[Legend General] RYU1980:
I can't believe this :D . I wanna just 24 hours stand-by.I hate to charge it everyday two times.
[Legend General] Chapell:
Well i have now 100 hours 44 minutes uptime since last charge and the battery meter is full 'till the 4th bar from the 10. (That's 4 days, I was wrong with the 5, but if it goes like this, it will be one week :D) Sure, I don't use it too much but it doesn't sleep all day.

What is up with the voodoo batterys lasting 1 week... damn

[Legend General] GeoMil:
I have had my Legend for about 4 days. The battery is disappointing.

But the biggest drain is WiFi. I have now turned this off and it is making a huge difference. I wasn't even getting 1 day out of it with WiFi on. Its slightly annoying having to switch it on when at home though.

I hope these comments about the battery getting better over the first few weeks are true. I have never heard of this before?

Is it worth using a 3rd party power app?
[Legend General] Chapell:
Is it hard to put the WiFi Toggle to to Home Screen and simply tap on if you want to use it?
[Legend General] RYU1980:
No just wi-fi .If you are on 3G network it also kills battery life .
[Legend General] Chapell:
I mean I know it's easy to put the widget to the home screen and tap on it if you want to use WiFi and tap again if not.

It was a reaction for this:

" Its slightly annoying having to switch it on when at home though. "
[Legend General] KK43:
kill wifi, kill 3g, dim the screen, don't run too many apps etc etc

might as well dump it and get an old nokia brick

obviously it will never last days of intensive use, but I think there's no excuse for a battery that doesn't last a single day of intensive use, keeping in mind the price tag
[Legend General] RYU1980:
I think we need to second battery.It will give to us one day stand-by with two battery.I am not kidding really.I want to use my phone online always as my hd2,iphone,magic,diamond.Legend has most bad battery life.If i have to turn off 3g,e-mails control,weather or all why i need to use this phone?Then i can use Nokia 1110.Make a call easy get a text easy.
[Legend General] danton47:
Actually, I find battery life on Legend to be similar to the one on HTC Magic. It's not stellar, but not too terrible either.
[Legend General] flyken74:
I've using Legend for a week now.. first few days it didn't last me a half of the day with wifi, edge, gps on with friend stream, wheather, news updated every 1 hour.. voice call about an hour. 1 hour of youtube and internet with wifi...

now about a week.. all the same pattern,, after 12 hours I have 45%..

my HD2 is dead already with wifi off.. i think I can get 2day out of Legen after battery get fully working.. awesome...:D
[Legend General] Sebastian768:
Same experience here. In the first few days, it wouldn't even last half a day. I would actually look at the HTC Battery widget losing one more digit at a time, albeit slowly.

I've had it for a week and it's improving every day. Now it's at 24% when day is over.

Does the Legend have some sort of intelligent learning ability when it comes to power?
[Legend General] GeoMil:
i have tried so many battery managers and power saving apps, all with pretty poor results.

BUT I have found one that works great. - Juice Defender.

Basically it turns off 3G and data connection when you aren't using the phone. You can set it to intermittently connect (30 seconds every 5 minutes etc.) so you still get 'push' notifications.

Its pretty good because you get great battery savings with almost no downside.

i can get a full day with pretty heavy use now.
[Legend General] noobdeagle:
my battery lasts up to 3 days if I barely touch it except for the odd message or email WiFi on and mobile data so im happy

[Legend General] rcravero:
Very good suggestion. The first trial with Juice defender gave me 30-40% more time. Very good application

[Legend General] jjs87:
i read people get all this few day battery lifes out of their legends. But after like 5 weeks mine still hardly manages to get 2 days.

Last night when i connected it again it had the following:

6% juice left

1D 14Hour 32M

Screen:39% 3Hour 16MIn

Stand bye 35%

Inactive:18%

Talk: 8% 6M 40S

3G is always on and i live in a area with very good reception. Sync is set to once every hour.

(exact translation might differ since my phone is on dutch)

I dont use a task manager but i have the system app which can also shut down apps manually. And i use the free version of juicedefender.
[Legend General] smart_user:
I bought legend 2 days back but even with moderate use (no wifi, data, sogns, gps) the battery is draining up very quickly. THe first charge just lasted me over 7-8 hrs. Even when phone was idle for 14 hrs the battery bar was at 65% only with a full charge.

What can be the problem?? Also even when used for 15-20 minutes at a stretch for browsing net or general stuff the phone is warming up. I can see the temp rising up 42 degree C.
[Legend General] dryspuri:
i had first day with battery going beyond 24 hrs.
[Legend General] RYU1980:
On 2G network i can see long time battery life (2 days) On 3G network just 10-12 hours (standby)
[Legend General] smart_user:
Well here's battery stat..currently at 13% and after switchin on after a full 8 hr rechrge:

Up time : 32 hr 52 min

Awake Time : 5hr 14 min

Display: 42% - 4hr 14 min

Cell Standby: 1d8h35m 23%

Voice Call : 19% 20m12s

Phone Idle: 1d4h21m 12%

Maps: 2% 4m12s

Buzz: 2% 3m19s

(All auto sync updats off and with no gps, wifi, 3g)

If anyone can comment on above batteru life? In all the review it is said that with heavy usage the battery should last aroumd 8 hrs.

Is phone getting warm for u guys? I noticed while browsing the net the temperature of battery goes as high as 40 deg C.
[Legend General] sfara:
I have the Legend for about a week now...indeed after a few charges the capacity increased a bit. I get 2 good days on 2G and some phonecalls (almost no wifi). Still...i observed something interesting...i put it to charge and wait until its 100% charged but i don't disconnect the usb cable and leave it in all night...it seems to me that the battery is holding up better this way and i get more juice.

Also got a question about the led display ... i didn't notice a colour change on the led when the device is charging or it's fully charged....seems to me it's the same colour. Is this normal ?
[Legend General] jjs87:
Led should be red while charging and green when fully charged.

And its true the battery holds up longer when you leave it in all night. Think the green light shows up when the voltage is above a certain level but then you can still charge it.
[Legend General] dryspuri:
recently with minimum use my battery went to 3 days 2 hrs.

will submit again with heavy use!!
[Legend General] dryspuri:
with my average use it lasted 2 days!! now will post with maximum use!!

i must say i am impressed with battery!!
[Legend General] dryspuri:
with max use its going on for 2 d 12hrs 30 minS!!!. I am sooooooooo HAPPY!!!
[Legend General] sfara:
New record for me ... it's the 3'rd day morning and the battery is at 34%....so 3 days with moderate usage on 2G.
[Legend General] mar_rud:
Hi, I have Legend for over a month and wanted to share with my battery observations.

First charging: If I leave phone connected to a charger after green light for at least 1-2h (usually longer: till morning) it lasts much longer. It can take half a day to change from 100% to 99% with light usage. If disconnected just after green light, 99% is in a matter of 1-2h.

Usage: I noticed few days ago, that my Legend lasts only about 30h-40h even with not heavy usage. In *#*#4636#*#* it turned out, that Android System is responsible for 100% usage in category Partial wake usage. Other categories looked fine. I tried to kill all user apps and after charging, I left phone alone with minimal usage (no internet, few minutes calls and some SMS) and still less then 2 days of juice with high partial wake usage.

After phone restart and light usage (12h connected with Edge, 1h WIFI, few pages, gmail and weather synchronisation, <1MB total net usage, 35min display ON, 5min calls) I have 78% of battery after 50h of standby. :) Partial wake usage of Android system is only 48m, so ~2%, not 100%.

I suspect, that because of some bugs in Android or applications, in some conditions system becomes unstable and is unable to enter lowest energy level.

For example sometimes when I disable Mobile Network, it still reconnects to EDGE and only APNDroid is then effective. Maybe Settings->Wireless & networks->Mobile Networks->Enable always-on mobile in some conditions tries to keep connection regardless of "Mobile network OFF" setting. Also sometimes I have problems when switching between Wifi and Mobile, like some application doesn't handle disconnection properly and waits for response to long. Similar busy tasks in special conditions could lead to more often partial usage wake.

Also my phone before last restart had quite long uptime and many different activities. I tried many different apps, encountered some Sense UI forced restarts, Internet browser crushes (at pages with too much flash banners), often closed running applications with task killer, etc. So it is possible, that at some point system got unstable and unable to fully sleep.

So my advice: if You see unusual battery usage, that can't be explained by heavy usage, look at *#*#4636#*#* statistics. Problem could be with cpu intensive application (bad written) or lock in android (restart helped in my case).

Also I would like to mention one useful application: JuicePlotter, that monitors battery level with minimal cpu usage, draws nice colourful plots, predicts time left on battery based on previous usage and has 1x1 widget for lunching plot, that also displays predicted left time at home screen :)
[Legend General] RYU1980:
I was saying always very poor battery life for me . Yes it was . But it solved .

I was on Vodafone (Turkey) 3g network . With this operator my battery life was 7-12 hours (stand-by) . I start to use another operator and got 24 hours battery life with full heavy usage on 3g network :D . This is perfect for me now . I am so glad .

So no Upgrade for the HD2 to W7, I have just read that Windows Phone 7 Series announced it won't support cut and paste, along with all the other things coming from MS, i think we have the new Apple.:(

[HD2 General] adissu:
I do not know much about WP7 but it looks like becomming a remake of apple iphone. A lot of limitations and restrictions. So the possiblities of customizing are not that easy or even get lost.

So after all you must take Android which is a great OS on the one hand but it is datacrawling google on the other. :(
[HD2 General] afropolak:
People are learning, are getting smarter, WM never been like apple.

Apple was created for those who don't know what's "registry", how many is three and what's different between Austria and Australia.

No body that know MS products will buy as limited product as apple is.

It will be giant failure.
[HD2 General] DMAND:
And what the iPhone failed without copy/paste, a restricted market place and fixed storage?

I can see the logic behind certain restrictions, such as the problems SD cards can cause when installing apps/synching music etc.

No Copy and paste though is not acceptable

The HTC Dailing pad not smooth when press the call button, lagging always. someone can solve?
[Touch HD General] t3rm3y:
when i type a message in htc messaging the keyboard seems very slow at picking up spacebar presses, and misses them out, so it adds the next word to the end, then adds a space at the end. very annoying.

usiong wm 23542. manila 2.5.2012

rom is fine, for me apart from the space bar, so would rather avoid flashign a new one.

is there a reg tweak or something i can do to enable the phone to register quicker presses? the keyboard works fine on webpages / email ect.

possibly to do with the words it displays as your typing, (is it spell correction, or word correction?) is there a way to remove these from displaying to see if that allows for the messages to write correctly.
[Touch HD General] hexxor93:
I have a issue pretty much the same, spacebar shows its pressed but doesn't always make a space in a message...

Hi.

I removed the battery - showing 35% - to e-mail HD2 support and have the serial number. I put it back in, switched the HD2 back on and battery is 45%.

Is this normal? Was it incorrectly placed before? Am I just going crazy? :)
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
I've had that quite a few times before, so I'm guessing it is quite normal.

Hi!

I upgraded my Artemis to an official swedish WM6-rom (WM 6.0) and then i installed 3 programs:

1: pacman game

2: Vibro 0.9

3: HTC Home 2.1

And now, my phone won´t turn off backlight completely. It just dim the screen. I have changed all backlight setting back and forth and it makes no difference.

What is the problem and what do i have to do to ge rid of this stupid problem?

I have already uninstalled HTC Home 2.1 and Vibro 0.9 and i have hot restarted it several times.

What is the problem the phone?

Edit: I did a hot restart after i uninstalled vibro 0.9 and the screen went completely black now. As it should. But is there problem with vibro 0.9 then? What vibrating-pattern-program should i use intead? I´m so tired of this long constant vibrating.
[S740, S743 General] Ben-B:
My s740 seems to work fine on my home Wifi network. But for some reason at my work network it's showing the network, but not connecting to it. It even keeps coming up saying new network found, so each time I put the WPA Key in and it will work for a while. As soon as it's disconnected it's forgotten again and I have to search and reconnect fresh every time.

What's going on? Is there a setting on the phone to sort it? Or something on my WiFi router I need to set??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] karaern:
really interesting ..will check the memory usage.:p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] htcjordi:
Thank you!! :D

The app has two executables. One for the GUI and the other for the background. The background process manages leds and it coded in C++. Only around 70kbyte of memory and around 1% CPU . The GUI it's about 2Mbyte but it can be shutdown once you have configured it. :)

Thanks for the program. I am testing it on my Topaz. It seems to be working perfectly so far. I love the interface. :D

Many thanks! I will report any bugs I find.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] crispy514:
I have a link from the start menu to this so it auto starts after a reset.

So far not too bad... Occasionally the led stays on but otherwise i finally have my flashing email notification :)

Well done!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] EpiphanyNL:
Hi! Very interesting application you made there.

I think it would be even more interesting if the 2 settings txt files would be replaced by registry entries.

Thanks for the good work!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
I have been testing this for about a day now. I received an email but the LED was not responding. When I woke up my device, the LED illuminated and stayed illuminated even after I removed all notifications and my TD2 was not charging.

It would be nice to be able to configure the different notifications with different LEDs. I haven't figured out how to do this yet.

Otherwise, it is great.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Aqrab:
please

we want nimbuzz to notify us when we have a missed call or massage

because there is noway i can know if i have a missed call or massage

can you make your app work also with nimbuzz ? like what you did woth palringo ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
If you read the about tab in the GUI, this gives instructions on how to do this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Aqrab:
yeah but the problem is nimbuzz does not have a notification icon bar :(

THATS WHY IM ASKING HERE

NO RESPOND FROM NIMBUZZ SITE
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] htcjordi:
Actually it was easier to do with registry entries but I did it with text files because I think it's more friendly to work with text files than work with the registry. Just in case somebody want to write new files! Anyway I apreciate your comment ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] htcjordi:
Hi mitsi! I figured out that you have a Diamond, I can't test my app with this machine but I'll try to help you.Did your TD2's leds work through the configuration menu? I mean the menu you can configurate led's frequency and duty cicle. If the led is not blinking you'll have to play with configuration files.

You can configure notifications with different leds. Raise some event in the notification bar to list some app in the app menu. Then activate the app pressing the on/off button : it should appear a menu indicating wich led you want to turn on (in my case green/orange). If different physical leds are avaliable (not one with many colors) they should appear with indepentents on/off buttons.

Thank you for all your feedback :)

Hi Aqrab this software works only with the notification bar.I've playing with Nimbuzz and only plays a sound on notifications!!!! I've playing with talkonaut also and the same but at least vibrates.

If Nimbuzz does not respond I can't do much more :( . I recommend you to use Palringo instead
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] crispy514:
How is work going on this?

I seem to keep getting an instant where by the flashing LED stays solid when i get rid of the notification (by reading the email).

I have currently set up a shortcut to the GUI so i can stop/restart it but it's a bit annoying... any chance you can add a restart into the script after the notification is removed?

PS its a HD2....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] htcjordi:
I'll work on it this weekend. There's a trick to avoid that: get rid of the notification when the led is off.;)

If I run the tool I have a consumption in standby about ca. 60mAh.

to measure for consumption, I use Battlog(Attachment) and BattClock from ZuinigeRijder.

If you can reduce the consumption it would be great!:)

It may well be that I am too stupid to understand this Programme which seems to be simple for others!?

After download, I now have 9 files in 5 subfolders.

Which of those files are to be copied or shortcut to where on my HD2?

Very confusing!

I don't understand one thing:

apparently there are several ways to make the green LED blink when E-Mail arrives.

Why can nobody identify the false registry-key or value which is responsible for the LED not blinking on most HD2's?

Should be the easiest way to do the job, no?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] htcjordi:
Just copy the entire folder (LedNotifications folder) to program files or to your sd card and execute LedNotifyGUI.exe. That's it!

This program is not only for emails, it's general purpose. So you can blink a led with IM apps for example. For me it's very useful to see a led notification when somebody writes me an IM in Parlingo.

Also you have the possibility to override the power led. So you can have notifications even charging! This is not just a registry tweak!

If you have any more questions I'll be pleased to answer you

your standby drain is way too high, unless I am missing something.

My standby drain is 4-6mA... practically the same I get overnight.

It's like you have something keeping the CPU always "awake"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Olioaglio:
I'm no pro and maybe talking just bs, but to me it seems like the program just polls the taskbar for the corresponding icon in background and when it appears, it's starting the configured led sequence. So the device would not be able to enter real standby. I would love this app merged with netrippers tool for better performance. His one does not drain the battery noticeably at all.

htcjordi, as his source code is open and he agreed to use and develop further with it, why don't just use it to make this great app even better?

Olioaglio
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
Yup you're right, just tested it with the vanilla notification led, and I get 23mA reported by battclock after resuming from standby instead of the usual 4-6mA.

Which would mean that light is making the CPU stay awake.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Olioaglio:
htcjordi, would it be possible to poll the signal icon to indicate proper gsm signal by led?
