Well now datz some good battery. Which ROM are you using? Which Radio are you using?

I don't have any account/social networking syncing. Don't use wifi more than 20 mins a day. Brightness 20%. NO GPS. No Bluetooth. No stupid application sucking battery's power. If my screen is off I lose about 3-4% for a period of 5 hours, so no app sucking the battery in the sleep mode.

If i use EDGE when the battery is Full for about an hour I get battery drain of 20%

Would love to know more details on which ROM, Radio and your settings.
[Desire General] th3:
In contrast, I lose 1-2% over 8-10hours in standby, maximum, with WiFi on. Usually 1%.

[Desire General] Dragooon123:
Thats some damn battery life you have there. You are on a Sense ROM? Do you actually use Sense? If so you're either exaggerating or I'm a total fool(I'd prefer the latter).

I've been trying to fine tune the battery, currently I'm using DeFroST 4.9 with SVS 998Mhz @ 1275mv kernel with 17_2 radio. Re-calibrated the battery yesterday and compiled a custom wi-fi module containing fixes for sleep disconnection today morning.

I left it at night around 3 AM with 99% battery, turned off the Wi-Fi/EDGE but kept mobile on. In the morning(Around 9:30AM) I was at around 91%. Gave it a quick charge to 100 till around 11:15 AM. Disconnected it and from 11:20 to about 11:40/45 AM I had quite a heavy chat session over Nimbuzz with my friend. My battery went from 100 to 94% in that time. After that I pretty much left it, picked it up to check a mail once or twice and sent a few messages over Nimbuzz. It is 1:40AM now and I'm down to 89%. All of this was over Wi-Fi, GPS off, Bluetooth off, no tethering no nothing. I got no Facebook/Twitter auto-sync. Only FancyWidget(every 3 hours) and Gmail Push. Brightness is at 2%(Although even then it is a bit bright, maybe it is just me).

I am using Extended control widget to see the power percentage.
[Desire General] venkig:
Whoa ! Amazing post there. This should keep me occupied for quite some time to figure out what the heck is going on with my battery. The battery life what you are getting is really good and that is what everybody should get provided they figure out what the heck is sucking their battery that bad. Lotsa things and apps you have said drains the battery is on my phone and I haven't even started looking at logs in detail. Itz been only couple of weeks since I have this phone so I'll defn start looking into this issue.

Few questions

1. What issues did you have with your build.prop?

2. What battery widget are your currently using ?

3. You have mentioned A2SD+ also is a battery drain, was it a particular ROM's implementation of A2SD+ or older version of A2SD+ or A2SD+ in general causes battery drain ? Would be great if you could link us to the location mod
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
OK, It is 7:05 PM now and I am down to 70%. Nimbuzz was on all the time along with Wi-Fi(Although I don't know what happened but it switched to EDGE as if it lost Wi-Fi connectivity, Wi-Fi wasn't disabled, just disconnected). And I pretty much haven't touched it since 1:40 PM. Not as good as I hoped, but still kind of decent.

And my Wi-Fi strength isn't that great either, it is either 1 or 2 bar out of 4.
[Desire General] th3:
Well, I haven't done any such kernel modifications intentionally. Never had any need to either. 14.5h since last charge now, cell on 5h, WiFi on 12.5h, display on 2h and 76% remaining (actually, those stats were collected and written an hour back). The Desire display has been verified to consume at least 70% of the total device power when the screen is on. So you can't get more hours with display on if it didn't run as such.

It's HTCs ROM so of course it is using Sense. I can't do without most HTC added goods in Sense. Let alone the Mail, Bookmarks, Calendar, Stocks, Copy/Paste, Lookup, Clock, Gallery and Camera apps and widgets. The widgets I depend on work well only on the HTC ROMs I've tried. The missed Sense goodness combined with the bugs and problems I had on AOSP ROMs were extremely problematic so I moved back. Even my video recording and native playback is much better on this ROM.

To be frank, you've hardly had the phone so you'll learn much more yet. And it comes through search->reading->experimenting first. 1-2 weeks is too little for even figuring out most of the basics, unless you're moving from a similar phone and OS. For one, you'll need to actually read the linked thread to see what many observed and experienced. It took me and many others 6 months to learn things and get to this stage. Every other day I was testing and monitoring. But be aware that you can't, for instance, have the exact same setup and usage as me to have the same resultant battery life.

Had you read the linked thread you'd also be aware by now that bugs were filed for inaccurate % readings by Androids Battery Usage section. However, its time tracking was reliable in my testing.

- On your typical full discharge, how much time and % is listed under Display on?

- And for cell?

- Which A2SD are you using?

- Static wallpaper/color?

- Animation settings?

- Location on?

- Network location errors in logcat?

- Cell network chosen auto or manual?

- Did you mention all the widgets on all homescreens?

- OSMonitor/CurrentWidget values in idle screen on and idle screen off?

I use EC and SwitchPro widgets too but their battery widgets (like you mentioned) are known as ones with high consistent drain. The EC dev also corroborated this in its thread under the Themes section.

The 'idle' drops you get don't make sense to me unless there's fundamental hardware/software activity you haven't properly monitored and logged. Even kernel and I/O usage in the background. You'd be surprised at the difference one buggy underlying feature can make.

[Desire General] Dragooon123:
If you're actually asking those questions, here goes. Note, I am at 66% and the time is 8:56PM. And after this I'm gonna nandroid this ROM and try SuperVillainHD just for the kicks. Also, can it be that since the phone is relatively new, the battery is not up to its full potential?

Q1, 2) Battery usage is :

Display: 35% (35m 37s)

Wi-Fi: 20% (9h 44m 22s)

Cell standby : 15% (9h 44m 22s)

Phone idle: 14% (9h 9m 42s)

Android system: 6% (CPU Total: 9m 35s, CPU Foreground: 27s, Data sent: 7.82KB, Date received: 11.38KB)

Nimbuzz: 4% (CPU Total: 6m 46s, CPU Foreground: 2m 54s, Data sent: 298KB, Data received: 851KB)

Android OS: 3% (4m 1s)

Voice calls: 2% (45s)

Q3) I'm using DeFroST ROM with A2SD+

Q4) Yes, I'm using a static wallpaper

Q5) Animations is set to : All animations

Q6) GPS is disabled, if that is what you mean.

Q7) How can I check this and what would it show?

Q8) Didn't touch this, so I'm presuming Auto.

Q9) I'm not sure, so here goes. I got a Twitter widget, Facebook widget, both are set for manual syncing. Got FancyWidget syncing every 3 hours and several harmless icons. I got 3 bars of Extended Control widget and a google search widget

Q10) I don't have those, are they available in market? Do they consume battery? :P
[Desire General] th3:
I'll have to open the file for that to check exactly the changes I made. I didn't really follow anyone, just went off my own understanding and intuition. If I try to access the dir or open the file whilst the phone is not in Recovery, it'll force a reboot so I'll give more details later on this when I'm near a PC.

Just this: http://bit.ly/cNQUVd

FroYos A2SD was nice but I needed much more space and was trying A2SD+ with various ROMs as well as manual use on HTC ROMs. Endless problems such as very remarked, consistent sluggishness in basic functioning, total boot and app load slowness, including high, persistent background CPU and IO loads and very poor SD card transfers over USB and WiFi made me sack it. I lost a class 4 16GB Kingston SD card with errors inside 2 months. I transfer 2-4GB in/out daily and many transfers started failing. Widgets bugged out frequently when you needed them most and had to be all re-setup. Video record and playback became dis-able. The phone became useless except as a toy. That's not what I bought it for but as a helpful companion. I eliminated everything in question. It was simply the SD card [over]use compared to internal memory. This: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7025105

I simply typed the command through adb but:

http://www.androidpit.com/en/androi...deandroid.modil/Mod-Install-Location-For-Root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=778738

Even though I used this, I still have select applications not on the SD card upon learning that they worked far more consistently and properly with lower power and CPU usage when using internal memory. Trial, observant monitoring, and error.

I switched to RCMixHD ROM and richard's UVOC kernel. I'm wondering though, do widgets like FM Radio/Music eat up any battery?
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
Looks like I got some progress. I got the RCMixHD v7 ROM with richardtrip's OCUV kernel and purchased SetCPU and set the governor to conservative. I have GPS/BT disabled, Wi-Fi and Mobile data enabled(When Wi-Fi isn't there).

I have 2 Gmail accounts, one Facebook account and one Twitter account. The Facebook account is set to sync once a day(Since I couldn't set it to manual) and the twitter is set to sync manually. Both, Facebook and Twitter, accounts are set to sync when opened(Basically when I view their widgets). One of the Gmail account is set to sync Contacts and Gmail, other is absolutely disabled. HTC's Weather has only my location to sync and is set to sync every 3 hours. On my homescreen I got 6 HTC's setting widgets, HTC's flipclock showing weather as well, one google search, twitter and Facebook widget. I also got Nimbuzz running 24/7. And in respect to your questions, I have manually selected the network and enabled 2G only networks(We don't got 3G anyway).

Now I disconnected it from the charger at 2:30AM and it was at 100%(I'm getting these readings from circle battery mod), it was 11:05AM when I woke up and the battery was at 91%. I used to get that kind of battery when I disabled everything before battery. I'll post my day time results later :).
[Desire General] enemyrex:
ive read all about people saying the battery is terrible on the desire and that calibrating it may help it last that little bit longer. I myself havent had to that at all as from using smartphones for some years now i have always found the batterys to drain quickly my way round this is to buy a spare and a desktop stand that can charge a battery independently from the mobile and swap them round every 24hrs or so and i have found this to help a lot as i use the net on my mobile all day and this method seems to make the battery last longer as it gets at least a 24 charge from flat. I know this method is a pricey way of doing it but it really works.

also im using the stock 3uk rom with gps and wifi on pritty much all day and my mobile net on when outside the house and i havent realy touched any of the stock syncing settings and my mobile does last all day and it is used a lot
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
I am not saying that the battery is terrible, I just want to make the most out of it. Because some days I'm out for long and I don't want it to die out on me. So far the battery is getting better and better.
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
OK I left it at 99% yesterday night at 2AM and now at 12:15 I am at 80%. Perhaps not as good as yesterday but I'm averaging out at 2%/hr on standby. Seems good :).
[Desire General] th3:
I had to change these parameters to the following since they were set wrong/causing issues with WiFi/cell power, reception and speed.

You have the option of which internet to use; Contract WAP or Contract Internet.

Both work, however with my unlimited data plan, what should I be using?

This thread confirmed working Swype 2.4.44.10912 for HTC Incredible. Be sure you download "SWYPO v2.4.44 - WVGA English" version.

Came across other versions (eg 10814) that did not work.

Perform an "upgrade" of the package and dictionary is saved.

Hope this makes it easier for you guys to find a working version!

thank you... i can't wait for swype to actually release this... i will gladly pay for it
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] cambunch:
Almost every person on this forum that likes Swype has said that they would buy it if it was available. Closing a Beta and making APKs that expire only leave people with limited choices. Either find a copy that works, or choose another product. If you make someone have to buy another product, why would they switch back to your product once its ready, especially if you have to pay for that one as well?

That being said, Ultra Keyboard seems awesome. I will probably buy it after my trial is up unless I find something about it I don't like. Thank you for the suggestion.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] csseale:
I don't agree with the way swype does the beta. They are not the holy grail especially since google just got blind type.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DjZephy:
Doesn't work for me on Froyo 2.2. Let's you tap but not swype. Says it's not configured for this device (using incredible).
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] timwaters27:
just checked this out via the free trial, definitely doesnt seem like a bad alternative. i recommend trying it out if you, like me, cant find a working swype link.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DjZephy:
I am trying ultra keyboard. It has more features than swype, but so far it seems less accurate. In other words, I make a lot more mistakes. It could be a matter of getting used to. Also, the keyboard is ugly compared to the red Swype version which was beautiful.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Phaded:
I'm in Swype beta, this is my current version. Although mine ends with 10912.t100

Not sure if that matters or means anything.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] FlairDevil:
Anyone having issues with it, try out SlideIT - I have used them both and love the responsiveness and accuracy of SlideIT>Swype. I have no affiliation with it, just giving my sure to be met with harsh criticism opinion lol
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] i5aac:
I am not interested in the morality of possessing "swyped" software, or the argument thereof. I am also not interested in the substitutes-i have tried them and don't care for them. I am simply concerned with locating a functional version of swype
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bluekornchips:
All these different versions of swype being canceled over and over again is really annoying
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Bullhead00:
Nice! It's great to be swyping again. Confirmed working on my Incredible running Virtuous v3.0.1. It also looks a lot cleaner than the version 1.61.37.8128 of swype I was running previously which had "expired" yesterday.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] nowandaway:
Ultra is better than slide it. I would gladly pay for swype if they made it available on the market.

Ultra does have allot of features but not as accurate as swype.

[Epic 4G General] troyolson92:
Doesn't the amount of internal storage available effect the amount of ram available? In other words, if I remove a ton of stuff to free up space will that increase my available ram?

What is the minimum amount of ram for high quadrant score performance? I ran quandruant with 168 available ram and get 1080 with everystock dio7 except custokm recover and mixedup overclock latest kernal. I'm getting 9.68 for best linpack score.

I wonder if scores would change if I had 120 free ram. I am curious as to that cut off point where ram amount effects scores.
[Epic 4G General] troyolson92:
I ran twice at the following ram levels:

- 970 quadrant with 115 mb ram free.

- 998 quadrant with 130 mb ram free.

- 1006 quadrant with 145mb ram free.

- 998 quadrant with 150mb ram free. Ran 3 times!

- 999 quadrant with 163 mb free.

Seems to me there is zero performance difference between 120 and 170mb of ram from all my tests.
[Epic 4G General] Unknown Zone:
removing programs gives you back internal storage and does not give you more ram "unless" you are removing programs that are running in the background which take up ram then you will gets some ram back and also internal storage.

ram is just a storage for programs to excess when running and after fixed allocation the epic has left over 325.

internal storage the epic has 512 to play with.

I am coming from a Vibrant so am not all that familiar with Vanilla android, is there any way to get contacts to sync with Facebook? I liked how on the Vibrant I could link all my phone contacts with their facebook accounts so there photos would be updated, also have quick access to their fb pages, but mostly for throwing in all their pictures. I see you can add FB friends into contacts on the phone but I dont see a way to link the FB friends contact info with their phone number? Is there any way to link them? I dont want to have two seperate contacts (one for phone number and one for FB) for each person in my "contacts" tab.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorsher:

I have that set too but some of the people in my contacts arent put in as first name and last name, but just first name or a nick name, on the Vibrant I could just link the fb contact and the phone contact together if the names werent exactly the same, doesnt seem like thats an option on this phone?

In that case... go to Contacts ::press and hold contact's name::: > EDIT CONTACT > then Press MENU > JOIN.

you should see a list of suggested names from your facebook contacts.....
