I think I finally found the solution to lousy battery performance on Android phones in general!

If you are using Spare Parts -or any other battery monitor app- and noticed a near 100% of awake time then,

it's as simple as that:

Go to menu, choose Settings->Applications->Development

and make sure that Stay Awake (second option) is NOT checked.

If it is checked the phone never sleeps while charging, but unfortunately, due to an android bug I guess, won't return to his regular sleep schedule after disconnecting from the charger.

Please try this and let me know! It worked for me!

:) :) :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Chuteboxe39:
mine wasn't checked, still get pretty crappy battery life. Thanks though
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Do you have Spare Parts installed?

If yes, then you can see what exactly is using your battery.

My solution applies to those who constantly have near 100% awake time.

I hope you find your culprit soon! ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] augie7107:
Timescape is the culprit.

Force close it and remove it from your home screen and watch your battery life double.
[XPERIA X10 General] nkolsen:
Well i'm having the 100%, so i will defenitely give it a shot. Thank you. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Higgins12:
You speak my words :-) absolutely right Timescape is the Main Battery sucker and nothing else. I removed it Days ago including of closing the Process in Taskmanager. my battery Life got up from 7 Hours to 16 Hours. Nothing else had effect for me even changing the Launcher to Helix or whatever.

Timescape / Mediascape is what sucks the X10 down.
[XPERIA X10 General] kevor:
No timescape on my homescreen and stay awake is not checked...still batterylife is lousy :(

Its fine when its not being used but as soon as i start using apps or use the phone in general, the battery drains fast.....
[XPERIA X10 General] forzanerazzurri:
I reset the phone after unplugging it in the morning after a full charge, and my battery lasts a good 18 hours. Thats with Wifi on 75% of the time and 3g always on.
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
Wow....thats great...how did you manage that?

could you guide me through what settings you use please

cause with wifi on ....i get like half a day!
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
3 to 4 days with wi-fi off,3g off and gps on......................

don't twit or face though. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] leobg:
After being fed up with barely making it throughout the day, I decided to perform the following experiment:

1) wiped the phone clean (factory reset);

2) did NOT configure my google account with the phone to avoid needless sync with google as well as all those processes running in background no matter data connection available or not;

3) disabled data (as that line I am testing the X10 on has no data plan on it);

4) switched off location services; removed every single widget from the home screens;

5) installed HelixLauncherDONUT and left default widgets + added SE's digital clock;

6) installed startup auditor to prevent stuff like timescape from starting

7) contacts/settings/show status updates changed from all to none

Now after 24 hours and 45 minutes since unplugged phone has 88% battery left!!! There was no usage beside me checking stats every few hours. Phone is set to 3G, so switching to 2G may yield even better results.

Before this test I have done exactly the same test with the only difference of Google account being enabled on the phone (with sync disabled). No matter there was no data connection at all, phone went thru 20% of battery in just 6 hours with same usage pattern - 'no usage, just standby and checking every now and then the status of battery'. Not bad as with normal use of the phone I was been able to make it thru the day without shutting down due to battery empty.

Bottomline, I blame Google services for the excessive battery drainage in this phone. It is 1.6 'Donut' with its outdated google services 'at fault' IMO.

Hopefully with the planned Eclair update (lets hope Froyo too!) this situation will be addressed, at least to a certain degree.

Cheers!
[XPERIA X10 General] henh:
thanks for your info,

if i disable that many things, then i'd use my old Motorola v3. :(
[XPERIA X10 General] leobg:
Don't get me wrong. The experiment I've done is a "proof of concept" sort of - I am trying to figure out what is wrong with the battery usage in this phone.

If we look from your point of view, just to have the phone on standby and not using it, not Motorola V3, but a toy phone from the dollar store would suffice.
[XPERIA X10 General] henh:
oh, i know. i just upset with SE, we're here to find some solutions :)

it's so sad that we buy the phone for the look & the features, too bad that SE did a very bad job. now we have to wait for months to get an update from them, & still don't know it'll fix all the issues???
[XPERIA X10 General] Martin5000:
What I've found out is that most battery drain comes from apps. Install an app that monitors cpu time per app and cpu speed and load. Shortly after I got the phone I was about ready to throw it from a bridge or something because of the horrible battery performance. However, one day I noticed that the cpu was running at ~1GHz most of the time even though it's supposed to throttle down and match speed to need. I found out that one app had ALOT more cpu time that all other apps/services (a widget from DMI, the Danish weather service, in case you care). Once uninstalled, my phone could go through half a day with both 3G and Wifi enable and not even drop below 90% battery capacity - although only mild usage because I was working. Before, the battery went from 100% to like 60% during a night with 6-7hrs of sleep.

Finding out how to improve battery usage has definitely made me like the phone alot more, but I still wish HTC had made the software for it.

Regards - Martin
[XPERIA X10 General] Psi-ko1:
I get a good full day with my x10. I use Timescape but set the update option to NEVER so it only updates by tapping on timescape tile; i also turn of wi-fi when not in range of my home wi-fi, bt off, gps off (unless needed for maps).

I also trained the battery. Let power off by itself and charging full 4 or 5 times.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
as for the google thing id suggest going into settings then data synchronization.. click google and uncheck background data.. it even tells you it will save battery and lower data usage.. whenever you use market though it will ask you to enable it in order to use it.

hope it helps!!
[XPERIA X10 General] leobg:
To follow up on my test - 7 days, 18 hours with 3% battery left. Here is a quick video I made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt2YjrREgxg

[XPERIA X10 General] Nocturnal310:
Removing Timescape & Mediascape totally from the home screens.

and disabling Data Sync>Gmail

battery life is showing huge improvement.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nocturnal310:
THIS

i disabled Data Sync from the Google services such as gmail

and noticing a huge improvement.

but yours is phenomenally awesome.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
The timescape and mediascape shortcut removal makes no sense at all.. but a couple of people have reported that it makes a big difference.. and it won't do any harm to try it.. so I'm trying it!
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Hi - Leobg - Have you not used your phone at all during the 7 days? With data disabled it won't make any difference whether you're on 2G or 3G - the radio will be off.. so it won't consumer any power.. I'm fairly well convinced now that the main fault is with 3G radio and that the software isn't allowing it to sleep when the phone is idle. The phone sleeps well when connected to wifi (although sometimes - like me first thing in the morning - it struggles to wake up again!)..
[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
Is there any application which stop mobile data at all? but allow MMS? I tried APNdroid & another application, they help, but ome time mobile automatically connect to net to get updates :-/
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
@mano1982 - No - if you disable mobile data you disable MMS - it sends and receives using mobile data.. But if you want to stop the phone using mobile data then you need to switch off all syncing, remove all widgets that use data. switch off "background data" in setting; data synchronisation; google sync.; switch off location services .. think that should just about render your phone dumb... or your could sell it and get an ipod for media and a cheap phone for phone calls/ texts/ SMS..
[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
Ok Iceman, Thanks. MMS & mobil data should be seperated as we've in X10 mini. I've set many application which use mobile data, at manual refresh & i do it over WiFi, but sometime they start updating automatically. I've to pay a good amount this month to my operator :p
[XPERIA X10 General] ennx:
Absolutely. Why bother with a smart phone with all smart services shut off. You're right, I can buy a perfectly good V3 for $100.
[XPERIA X10 General] ashman84:
Switched off location services and the battery improvement has been phenomenal.. I can start using my x10 like I would a regular phone.. not like how stingy I was before.. :-)

[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Mine actually slept yesterday for the first time ever, checking battery usage it was something like 40% cell and 15% standby so that after 8 hours only 9% battery lost with gps and bluetooth on!!! BUT I don't know what I did!!! Its back to normal today..........................

Still 3 days. better but not great.
[XPERIA X10 General] Talonnb:
Mine was doing the same thing where I would barely get 8-10 hours out of the battery life, but I'm in week 4 of having the phone and with regular killing the battery to below 10% and charging it to full, it seems to be doing much better.

Apps to help that I currently employ

-Advanced Task Killer (for killing all apps without locking.)

-TaskPanel (Awesome for killing unneeded apps everytime the phone sleeps)

-Quick Settings (for adjusting brightness at whim)

3g and wifi are off unless needed. Phone has been unplugged for about 8 hours now, and I have 87% charge still. That is WITH moxier mail running push over the edge network all the time and some texting. Not bad if I do say so myself

Hey guys!

My dad found a 1G iPod Touch the other day and he said I can keep or sell it. I want to sell it but its jailbroken. I used to have one and jailbroke it myself but ever since I got my G1 and Nexus I don't care for Apple anymore. Can anyone direct me to somewhere that has steps to go back to stock? This Touch is not even on firmware 3.0.. It's like 2.2.1 or something. I need to check.

Thanks!

[EVO 4G General] 1wingangel:
since there is no phone/talk button,like on the g1, will we have to go to the home screen to use the dialer? Or is there another way?
[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
i remember seeing a tiny app that puts a shortcut to the dialer in the notification bar, can't remember the name though ...

EDIT: try "bar control"
[EVO 4G General] letsgoflyers81:
All seven of the home screens have a phone button at the bottom, so you're never more than two button presses from the phone. That said, I know it's possible to reassign a long press of the search button in Android, so it may be possible to map that to the dialer but I don't know for sure.
[EVO 4G General] 1wingangel:
I guess it's not that big of a deal, once you get used to it, but I'm just so used to my mt3g.

It' gonna take awhile:)
[EVO 4G General] letsgoflyers81:
I'll have to get used to it too. I've owned many Treos and WM phones, all of which had hardware send and end buttons. It's a first for me, but it's just one extra key press so it shouldn't be too bad. The bigger change for me is that this will be my first smartphone without a hardware QWERTY keyboard.

Also, I found this app which also adds phone and/or contacts to the notification bar: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.application.dialeratbar2

Hi!

This is really a great job! Is there something more or less the same for the Touch Diamond?

I tried to install it and it works fine but i can't see the chinese characters in the list when i need to chose the correct character... is it a compatibility issue or do i need a special font or something to make it work?

i think u need special font. Try droid.cab. You can find that in my signature.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Xui:
Hey, Thanks! It works! But there is still an issue with some of the Characters... i can't see all of them when i'm writing (with keyboard activated) and when i'm closing it everything appears to be normal... i tested it with the sunglobe.cab but still no success. Just vice versa... working text but no characters in the keyboard's menu... i installed it to my Device's Memory and installed the font even FIRST but...argh! This whole 'I want to write chinese' - keeps me busy for half a year now... !!

but Thanks anyway

Hey everyone,

I just got a brand new HTC Desire yesterday and I can't seem to connect my phone to the internet via WiFi. I don't know why but I entered the right password and everything... Every time it goes 'Obtaining IP address from (router name)', but ends up unsuccessful. I tried forgetting and doing it again but still does not work. Anyone have any ideas? Please let me know what information I should post to solve this matter quicker. I'm running on 2.1 update1

[SOLVED]
[Desire General] foxmeister:
It seems that most HTC Android phones are very fussy about the routers they will reliably connect to. Whether it's a really a phone problem, or the router that is at fault isn't really known.

Try changing the channel and/or encryption method on your router, as this may help.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] jxleung:
Solution

I found my way around solving this issue. Here's how I solved my problem:

Problem: Unable to connect to WiFi. Able to scan network but 'Unsuccessful' everytime WiFi attempts to 'Obtain IP Address from (network name)'.

Solution:

1) Press Menu key under WiFi window on HTC Desire

2) Choose Advanced Settings

3) Under IP Settings, Check 'Use Static IP'

4) Insert all the information below that: IP address, Gateway, Netmask, DNS1, DNS2 (it should all be in numbers)(I only had one DNS1, so I typed the same numbers in DNS2)

You can get the information via Laptop:

Right Click on your network>select 'Status'>select 'Details' under signal quality>All the information you need

5) Once all information is filled in, press 'Return' key and it SHOULD connect successfully.

Additional Notes: I selected the WiFi network and entered the passkey before I did all the steps above.

Hopefully this helps those who had the same problem I did!
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Haven't you just given your Desire the same IP address as your laptop??

If your wireless network is set up to use DHCP, you shouldn't need to do any of this.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] matrixneo76:
I dont understand why also but IT WORKS! Rightfully, mine is running on dynamic IP. Will it have any problem connecting again once IP address is refreshed?
[Desire General] matrixneo76:
A BIG THANK YOU..have been trying to connect with all possibilities minus setting up the static as Im using dynamic which doesnt make sense.
[Desire General] Flaggie:
Keep in mind that you have to give all your devices on that network then a static ip-adres, because otherwise you run the risk of another device already having the ip you assigned to your phone.
[Desire General] boas:
So is there a valid (non-static IP) solution????

I just got this problem both at home and at other places as well.

I can't find any errors in Android, and wifi scans as it should, it connects but as the topic starter stats, it can't assign an IP-adress!

Static IP is not a solution for me, nor should be for anyone, this is basic function that should work with out issues.

Please advise if there is any, thanks in advance!

Connecting to Wifi Unsuccessful [NOT SOLVED]

I was able to connect but noted that my phone wouldn't even completely charge, got hot and emptied in about an hour, so I installed "Startup Auditor" and" JuiceDefender" but somehow these seem to have broken the Wifi. I uninstalled JuiceDefender and there's nothing disabled in Startup Auditor that could explain it. But the phone can see Wifi points, but can't connect.

Of course it's possible that as the phone is rooted, juicedefencer changed something as root and I have no idea how to change it back.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Roman G:
When you say the libraries I assume you mean because we already have 2.1 on the evo.

I know with the hero it was a ***** to get the camera, cause HTC has not release the .29 kernel source, so we were stuck with the .27 until toast finally built his own .29 kernel. He is such a stud. By the way it was prolly less than a month ago they got the camera in a 2.1 full aosp rom.

I would think it would not be anything like this though.
