Battery capacity is higher

I think we are dealing with two issues here.

One maybe some faulty applications causing a battery drain due to incompatibility with the new 2.2 version. So this amy change when the apps get an update.

The second issue may be the calibration of the battery. I've notice that before the update i could charge my battery max. to 3798mV. Now after the update it shows me a capacity of 4179mV (used the HTC Battery Widget for this).

After i my first full recharge after the update to 2.2 my battery dropped to 88% in 10 minutes while using just the browser over 3G. I guess this just because the battery has to be calibrated again (due to the gap of aprox. 381mV) and the battery percentage indicator is not working correctly, and will calibrate itself after a few recharge cycles. I think we had the same behaviour with the last update a few months ago.

there are 3 desires in our household all unbranded from carphone warehouse and all vanilla, updated and since then the battery levels have been excellent, my phone has been on 38 hours without a charge, with daily general use i have just put it on charge today when it was at 26%

I installed android system app and checked cpu status

The stats are %50 245 Mhz

I couldn't notice anything wrong with battery usage info how can I check whether an app is causing cpu speed set to max lots of time.

any help is appreciated (I dont use any led app)

For me just taking the widget if my homescreen didn't do it, the app had to be uninstalled

Battery life of froyo seems to have slightly improved 4 me over 2.1
[Desire General] tmrlourenco:
It´s not psychological!

Before Froyo my desire would last a day and a half and now barely holds half a day!!

I bought the phone a few days ago (with 2.1) and now this...:mad:
[Desire General] sparksalot:
Good to know I'm not going mad. Mines draining 1% for every couple of minutes it's simply on and active, probably faster.
[Desire General] bluethunder2k:
Test apps by uninstalling them, you will find one is stopping your phone from sleeping
[Desire General] hussan882:
I am also having the same issue, my battery barely lasted about 6 hours yesterday. I pretty much always got 1.5 - 2 days out of it prior Froyo...I dont have the LED app either
[Desire General] tmrlourenco:
Tomorrow I going to do a hard reset and try install everything as if the phone was new (with 2.2).

Maybe some app´s (I have 15 at best) were badly ported or something to Froyo.
[Desire General] Vulpix:
Mine's draining 1% every few minutes too. It's crazy, and I already checked multiple times if there is any app preventing my phone from sleeping, can't find anything acting suspicious with System Panel.
[Desire General] sparksalot:
It'll sit there and idle+cellstandby fine, they're normally really high% it could probably go for a couple of days at least. But as soon as I turn on the display and do things (even things tha don't need network access) its just like WOOOOOOSSHHH <flat>

What use is a phone if you can't use it as a phone because the battery didn't last :|
[Desire General] etismyname:
I guess it is the side effect for boosting signal in poor reception area? While in good reception area, they can reduce the voltage?

Mine is with a custom Rom so I can't help much but the new radio has lots of reports saying it helps battery life
[Desire General] aindow:
I agree with this. I work in an area with poor mobile signal and the phone soon used the battery trying to remain connected to the network and trying to find a 3g signal.

When at work today i turned on wifi and the battery lasted me much longer as the phone wasn't trying to hunt a 3g network as wifi turns off 3g connections.
[Desire General] ljesh:
I had a strange issue with my battery today.

I left my phone recharge while I sleeped, woke up after 10 hours (I was really tired :D), unplugged it and after an hour noticed I have like 65% remaining :/

Have anyone noticed if after the OTA 2.2 update the battery recharges to 100%, and then it stops and starts using the battery (and not the plug)? I am suspecting this may have happen. On 2.1 it was a problem because the battery after recharging to 100%, it went down to 90% and then recharge again. But now this is even bigger problem, after recharging to 100%, it stops recharging anymore (unless you unplug and plug it again).

Damn HTC, they cant do anything right.
[Desire General] Vulpix:
I think the new radio saves battery life for those who already have good signal quality in their area... :(
[Desire General] Bl@ck:
bah same problem here, my phone drains a lot more battery... this night i unplugged the phone before sleep (so 100% battery left) this morning i had 82% left with Cell Standby and Phone idle at 48% and 42% of battery used, this radio is sucking my phone juice faster! anyone tested the older "test" radio? like 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08
[Desire General] A|ex:
have you guys tried to turn off auto update to see how much you save? I did this after i udpated and it turned out that froyo changed all my auto update setings on every app/ service i have running. So i went through changed them all back and have a lot better battery. I am still on 2-3days with a lot of usage
[Desire General] pnearn:
This

I have background update off as it kills the battery. I manually sync as when I need to. After the froyo update a lot of the apps had gone back to auto syncing so just go through them and alter the settings
[Desire General] flightposite:
This worked for me, un-install the update in Facebook. Then restart your phone. I read it in another post.

Please give you're feedback if it works so others can know.
[Desire General] josdehaes:
uninstalling the facebook update fixed the 100% partial wake usage. Battery life fine now for me.
[Desire General] wgg:
I posted earlier that I was having battery probs, but after doing a second wipe and reflashing battery life is now good.
[Desire General] Hellas4:
EXACTLY the same for me! With 2.1 my battery lasted at least a day,now with OTA 2.2 it lasts 5 hours with full use...with normal use and wifi about 2 hours daily last almost 1 day...

Poor HTC..
[Desire General] lyonscf:
I'm the same as well. I pulled my phone out of the charger at 11am GMT this morning and it just died.

What a monumental screw up on their part.

My SD card is also stuck in read-only mode, which leads me to believe that it's become corrupt. I don't have a card reader to check.
[Desire General] sparksalot:
can you elaborate please? Were your battery issues as bad as the ones described here?

and what did you wipe? just /data?
[Desire General] mancuk29:
I wonder if it is worth flash and then reset as the froyo is just updated over top of 2.1 as far as I can tell if it is it could be buggy can anyone advise . I did reflash of android 2.1 (htc genuine flash) and this sorted out some issues ... is froyo HTC available for download ?
[Desire General] narsyl:
No problems here.
[Desire General] evodaniken:
After going through this thread, I experimented a little and I found the answer. After the Froyo OTA update on my EVO, it seems to have activated the "sync" for Facebook for HTC Sense and Stocks. I clearly remember disabling those earlier to the 2.2 update. I went to Settings>Accounts & sync and unactivated the sync for the above two and my battery meter is barely draining since. My phone was on standby, not charging yesterday night and it moved just one unit from 97% to 96% on the battery meter in 7 hours of standby with WI-FI on and all other radios off. My gmail / other email is set to sync every hour. And weather also syncs. After a few hours this morning, with moderate use since I got up (only internet), its on 90%.:p

I also uninstalled some older apps installed prior to 2.2 that I haven't been using much. However I believe the above tweak might've made the difference. And yes, I am using the stock ROM with Sense UI, never rooted or anything.
[Desire General] sparksalot:
You're able to untick options for certain syncs?

Shortly after setting up a rom the checkbox's always vanish for me, e.g. the Sync Gmail checkbox vanishes, becomes tap to sync.
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
Hi.

Since buying my phone I have been suffering with serious battery issues and been following steps and advice within these forums to try and combat it. The other night I took the phone to bed on a full charge and when I got up at least 8 hours later, my battery was at 60 odd %, and has been like that and worse sometimes since buying it, and have had to put it on charge every night as throughout the day it would drain considerably.

I started the thinking that perhaps the battery was faulty, I did get my phone second hand at a bargain price so had started wondering if that was why, and as nothing I've read on here seemed to be helping, that had cemented my thinking.

One of the last things I did before going to bed last night was to remove Facebook using Titanium backup, and changed the quicklaunch bar for the Beautiful widgets, widgets (wifi, BT ect). Woke up this morning to find my battery at 88%, it was at about 94% when I finally stopped using the phone, so I'm quite a happy bunny this morning.

Perhaps some might think it's still drained a bit too quick?, but as it's clearly a vast improvement, I'm more than happy with that right now.
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
I find it odd that so many X10 users are having problems with their battery performance. My stock Canadian (RB20) X10 lasts over 3 full days if I don't use wi-fi or voice much --granted, for those who make lots of calls and suck up 3G data, no phone will yield over 3 days per charge. I haven't uninstalled the standard apps either and have my screen brightness at maximum all the time (though I always immediately shut it off when not in use).

Just making a few calls, sending a few texts, checking my e-mail a couple of times per day on wi-fi, and playing about 2 hours of music, my battery drops 10-15% only.
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
It is strange, and stranger that a little bit of tweaking seems to sort it out. I'm going to see how it goes and try not to charge it over the next day or so. It's only 10 mins or so that it's dropped to 87%, which as I've said is a considerable difference to what it's usually been.
[XPERIA X10 General] ruskival:
i also find it interesting that people are having problems with battery life, im coming from a samsung i8000 Omnia II and before that the i900 Omnia I, my omnia 2 did have better battery life as i didnt use as much of the phone as i do now, bearing in mind with my omnia II i made about 20-30 calls anywhere between 1 and 40 min each, i sent about 30 sms/mms, checked my emails (not push option) a bit of internet and maybe hour of gaming and my battery would be at 40% at the end of the day 8am-11pm). now with my SE X10 i do all the same but i get my emails checked automatically every hour, weather every hour, same amount of calls and sms/mms, play games for about hour, check the news blogs, find something thru google maps or 'layar' app, download a few wallpapers, maybe update apps, and i have 30% left by 6pm so its not as good time wise as my previous phone but i use the phone more that i did before, and that is something people dont realise is that they are actualy using the phone alot more, the iphone had a similar problem, APPLE didnt expect people to spend so much time on it, but id suggest that if your at the office or in the car, just plug it in for a bit it will make a difference

just my 2 cents and observations
[XPERIA X10 General] jerrytea:
i set facebook to never update automatically, so it does not drain my battery. I noticed that the sync with google calendar drains the battery really fast. I had the google calendar auto sync checked and there was only 56% left every morning from a 100% charged battery before going to bed. After I unchecked that option it only drains about 3% now.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
Unless your Google Calendar is changing I don't see why it's syncing?

I have background data on, 4 email account polling every 10 minutes, 1 push email account, Twitter, Facebook and I'm dropping 1% per hour unplugged.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
Don't take this the wrong way but if you don't make calls, no WiFi and it sounds like you're not using much 3G, few text and email a couple of times a day .... sort of should last long, No?

Kind of like if I put gas in my car and don't drive it ;)

Thanks, but no thanks, the thing I love about the Xperia is it's sleekness, so the last thing I'd want to do is stick an ugly ass extended back cover on it. If push came to shove I'd just buy another battery and rotate them, but as I seem to have sorted my issue out it looks like I won't have to.
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
That was my point. It should last, yet some here are reporting that their X10 loses an insane percentage every hour without any activity. :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] umaronly:
For people having problems with the xperia battery life, two questions:

1. Are you using moxier mail?

2. Are you using SE built-in flickr account?

If you are using either, try turning them off (delete the flickr account from phone and restart the device) and share what the progress is. I would be very interested to know the before-and-after difference, and am very hopeful you find your issues a thing of the past with this change :). Lemme know.

For email you can still use the other built in apps, not to mention K-9 mail.
[XPERIA X10 General] Paul5015:
My solution.

Hi,

My phone would burn 10% per hour, without use.

I went on holiday with it and it suddenly behaved itself. I put this down to the Roaming preventing data access.

On my return to the UK I've loaded an app called 'Data on Demand' from the market. It prevents data access when the screen is off. (default settings)

My phone will now last 4 days with my light usage.

If your only getting one day, give this a try, If I remember correctly it was free too.

Kind Regards,

Paul.

I have wifi and BT off, GPS on and I use 3G.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:

[XPERIA X10 General] forzanerazzurri:
Guys its a smartphone with a 1 ghz processor and a large screen. I dont get why people think the battery is supposed to last forever. Anything over 20 hours is great in my opinion. If you want a powerful smartphone, you WILL have to charge it every night. Get used to it. I dont see why this is an issue.
[XPERIA X10 General] umaronly:
I guess the issue is the relative difference people have in battery life compared to each other
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
I've tried Data on Demand on my X10i and it seems not to turn data off properly in automatic mode. Could it be a problem with Switcpro widgets? Do you use this one too?
[XPERIA X10 General] Paul5015:
No I don't, but I do find a re-boot after charging helps. I guess there must be some naughty app/service in there somewhere.

The effect I get using Data on Demand is dramatic. I'm hoping others will see this result too.

Regards, Paul.
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
48-hours, over two dozen short calls, handful of SMS texts, some wi-fi, screen brightness maxed, 4 hours of music, still over 25% charge. I didn't use data though, but even if I had, I still could have lasted the 2 full days on a single charge.

If your X10's battery is not lasting, then you are doing something wrong, or there is a problem with the battery/phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] Dave****:
Thanks for the heads up, Paul, will let you know if it improves the battery life on my x10i 026 rooted. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
So aside from the WiFi you used it like a Moto Razr, yup it does play mp3's :)

It seems that you're comparing your non-smartphone type usage to users having battery problems using all of the features. You then go on to say the users are doing something wrong. Which is what? Using the features of the X10? I imagine if I charged the phone, turned it off, it would last for days ;)

GPS ON

WiFi off

Bluetooth ON

3G ON

Background Data ON

Gmail syncing mail, reader, calendar, contacts

Twitter and Facebook both running

Emails 20

SMS 10

Talk time 90 minutes

Screen at 50%

Playing online Poker for 2 hours

Reading XDA Forums 30 minutes

NewsRob 20 minutes

Market for 15 minutes

Total screen on time about 4.5 hours

This is in 10 hours, battery remaining 62% ... it's a 2600mAh extended battery.

Yes, I actually use the features of the X10.

I'm sorry but it's getting annoying hearing people say that they're getting great battery life with the original battery but .... do this ... turn off all of the features.

Here's the bottom line. If you use the features to the max then the battery will drain.

I wouldn't have even commented on your comment but when you said "then you're doing something wrong" .... well ... I think you"re wrong on this issue.
[Desire General] patp:
It seems like there is a risk when doing this that the HBOOT will get updated and prevent future rooting as well as preventing installing custom roms.

Is it possible to update using OTA without updating HBOOT? In one thread I saw mention of an HTC-pushed OTA after updating to Froyo which is what does the HBOOT, is that right, in which case presumably one could just reject this particular update?

I can see there are custom ROM's that will achievethe same end, but it would be nice to go the "pure" route first.
