Check what's running in the background. The other night I was just using the phone normally and put it to sleep, checked it a few times and it was dropping 1% every 15 minutes or so. Noticed it kept checking into something. VVM and Market Checkin was running, killed it and it seemed to help. Also discovered (might not be true) that the New MAPS and GMAIL apps constantly check in and drain the battery after removing the updates phone seems to last longer/as it did before..:/
[Vibrant General] Daymic:
oo maybe that might be it. I Just updated a boat load of my apps a few days ago. P.s. how do you remove just the update?

WIDGETS IN BACKGROUND ON DEKTOP ? SHUT THEM OFF

TURN OFF USB DEBUGING

REMOVE WI-FI CALLIN

IN GALAXY S TUNER (APP FROM MARKET ) PUT MEMORY MANAGEMENT ON AGRESSIVE

those are just a few tips , if You didn't install anything that would change Your battery behavior TRY TO CHARGE YOUR PHONE IN WALL OUTLET INSTEAD OF COMUPUER USB ,also did You flash any updates to Bionix that got released because of so some of them contain update to modem so if previous bionix was on JL4 modem which is fast and battery savy new update might off reflashed your modem to newer one as fast as old but with worst battery . good luck i can give u million tips how to save juice , oh btw :

also clean up Your battery stats in clockwork and recharge it with wall outlet Your battery might be recalibrated and when it shows 2% left u might have 10 really instead that's why clean battery stats and recharge.
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
or sadlly Your battery cant hold the juice anymore because it was recharged to zero few times too many , sorry :(
[Vibrant General] SaintJimmy76:
This is crazy. I just came to xda to post my bionix 1.3.1 battery problem. I been running it for a week and no issues. But this morning I took the phone off the charger and within 10 minutes of using it I was down to 85%. Usually after my morning usage I'd be around 93-95%. But that's not the issue I wanted to post.

I was trying to wait for Black Ice since Frost had the best battery life of any rom I've tried...just not feeling the Frost theme. So I started to download the Frost zip & got the phone on the charger.

Even after I put it back on the charger my battery life kept going down. Plugged it in at 85% and a few minutes later I noticed it was at 83%
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
lso clean up Your battery stats in clockwork and recharge it with wall outlet Your battery might be recalibrated and when it shows 2% left u might have 10 really instead that's why clean battery stats and recharge. I WASNT CLEAR ENOUGH I GUESS ...OH WELL.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Just go to the market, tap menu and then go to DOWNLOADS

look for GMAIL and MAPS, click on them and then where it says "Uninstall update" you want to click that. Done. :D
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
truee u might want to disable location access if its on too
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
if u updated ,find out which modem the previous rom u ran and reflash it to the modem u had before.

I had this problem with nero after a month of use. Wipe battery stats when the battery is fully drained. Fixed my battery problems.

Sent from my SGS Vibrant
[Vibrant General] Daymic:
Thx guys, ill wipe the battery stats and unistall the updates.
[Vibrant General] demize!:
Does USB debug consume power?

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
i'm sure it's not.
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
I have the same problem. I have system panel running all the time. When I sleep, the phone sleeps too and uses about 1% of battery per hour. But when im actually using the phone, even if the use is minimal like sending a few texts etc. The battery consumption is far greater than the use. Top apps in system panel monitoring is usually system process and system itself. How do I correct this issue?
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
I had a issue a while back. What I did to fix it is go with the standard rom. Then slowly I would put one or 2 apps back on. After a day or so I found out which one was to blame and got rid of it.
[Vibrant General] Deggy:
+1

I have the *EXACT* problem. It bugs me so much. Good to know I'm not the only one experiencing this. Everyone brags about how their phones lasts for 3 days and I call BS.
[Vibrant General] moeluv09:
I agree with you also. These guys must have some super batteries to get that kind of life out of it. lol.
[Vibrant General] Sdobron:
No, they don't use the phone is how. Someone reported 40 hours use with only 1.5 hours display time. Your phone is fine, you just use it more than others.
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
Rooting my phone and using custom rom did help alot with battery life but I still never get great battery life reported by others. Maybe im dumb enough to not know what am I doing lol
[Vibrant General] Moped_Ryder:
I have found for me that with any 2.2.1 ROM consumes more power than the old 2.2 ROMs.
[Vibrant General] BaoQ:
Yup, I'm having the same problem. Flashed Bionix 1.3.1 and the first week, the battery is excellent but now it drop so fast when I'm just checking for texts and go on the web for a few minutes.
[Vibrant General] xsteven77x:
Thats my problem. I can't get over frost's theme no matter how hard i try. Wonderful rom, ugly (IMO) theme.
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
How is frost in terms of battery life? I might flash it if the battery life is any good!
[Vibrant General] SaintJimmy76:
I had already conditioned my battery before I noticed the serious battery drain. Like I said, it happened to me about a week of running bionix 1.3.1. The 1st 6 days it was doing just fine. Now I'm back on Frost and getting a full 24 hours with heavy useage.
[Vibrant General] SaintJimmy76:
Frost has the best battery life I've come across. I've gotten 30+ hours with sporadic use and an easy 20-24 hours with heavy useage. Other than the theme & the slight menu-button lag it's my favorite ROM I've tried out.
[Vibrant General] xsteven77x:
Is there an easy way to change the ugly white bar at the top? If that could be dealt with i would probably switch back to frost full time. The battery on it was great.
[Vibrant General] eunkipark92:
Heavy usage is like watching videos, browsing webs constantlt. You can possibly have lasted 24hour.

Just sayibg
[Vibrant General] vibratn noob:
Yes I also just flashed bionix

1.3.1 and I'm loosing about 10-12% of battery life per hour with moderate use.
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
That's pretty good battery life. Im now considering flashing it. Will prolly do it next week.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
20-24 hours at heavy use? BULL****.

Thats just not possible, more specifically since you said "heavy use"

Explain what your definition of heavy use is please...

According to intomobile.com

Battery Life will easily get through a day without having to recharge it with moderate usage. If you wanted to watch Avatar a couple of times on a single charge, then you’d be out of luck. The battery performs decently with some heavy video playback, but it would be advised to keep a charger with you. Just in case. For a 1500 mAh battery, the Vibrant utilizes the juice pretty well, but a bigger battery would always be helpful, especially when the phone is being pushed as a multimedia device.

Meaning that... they consider heavy use as watching Avatar a few times a day... and i agree. They also say it'll get through a day with MODERATE usage.
[Vibrant General] SaintJimmy76:
It's not my fault you used a dumbass definition of useage. Watching Avatar repeatedly is NOT heavy use in my book. That's CONSTANT use. Meaning if you NEVER, EVER, EVAAAAAAAAAAAR turn off your screen then clearly you will only get 4-5 hours with whatever freakin rom you use.

Heavy use, for me, is 25+ 5+ minute phone calls, 150+ texts/tweets, repeated web surfing, a few youtube vids, a bit of gps mapping, at least an hour of gaming, and playing music for the majority of the day.
[Vibrant General] aaconteh:
Agreed. Thats heavy usage.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diffler:
Heya.

I am running Android Revolution 2.0.16, Kernel 2.6.32.29_BUZZ1.3.3_OCUV with radio Radio_12.35d.60.140fU_26.06.03.24_M2.

I've been running this for ~1.5 weeks and I think this started about 1 week ago, not sure. Sometimes randomly (sometimes when I'm playing and sometimes when the phone has been idle for few hours) the phone boots. I see the white background with the green HTC logo and after a while it asks for my Pin number. Sometimes this happens once/day and sometimes it happens three times in a row. With stock it never did this.

What could be the cause?

How could I fix this?

I'm interested in Android Revolution 2.1 but can't find it after the 3.0 and 4.0 came along. I'm not ready for unofficial Gingerbread yet and 3.0 is using 1.84 for Orange and I'm not completly sure if I should use it with my unbranded Finland located phone.

Thanks for your time!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr9722:
Hi. This has nothing to do with the ROM you are running it is a physical problem with the phone and is quite a common fault on the Desire HD.

It is a problem with the placement of the SIM card underneath the cover. I just stuck a bit of selotape across the SIM card to keep it in place and mine has been fine since. Other than that flash back to default and send it back under the warranty.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diffler:
I don't think it's about loose Sim card. I tried to move the sim card while the phone was on the finally removed the sim card. The phone didn't boot but I got a message that said that phone can't locate sim card and I must either restart or shut off the phone.

This isn't what I mean with the restarting. It just restarts, boots, without any error message. Like I would have pressed the power button and selected restart.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Its because of the kernel, like mine your cpu seems to be sensitive to undervolt, try leedroids kernel :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yazayad:
So although all DHD have the same type of CPU, each specific CPU reacts differently to UC/OV? Strange, how widespread is this? Personally I've had no problems.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyb:
Had the same random boots with revolution 3.0 and 3.1, reverted back to stock 1.72 with the same(BUZZ) kernel and same setcpu settings as I used with revolution, and reboots are gone for me :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diffler:
Heya. Thanks for the replies. I was thinking going back to stock too but decided to try Revolution 3.2 and it seems to work. Atleast one day without boots, but we'll see how it's in the long run.
[GT540 Optimus General] mstefanski:
After playing with latest (15-feb) update and KDZ FW UPD I must have messed up my bootloader - there is no logo showing up, though Android boots as usual. I can access download mode and can root my phone, so the natural question pop out:

How can I flash working bootloader from the latest firmware update? I can unpack the mbn files from kdz and cab easily, but I have simply no idea how to upload them separately to my phone and I won't risk doing it without being 100% certain what I am doing.

Can anyone give me some pointers?

Of course if there is no way to do this that way, any other way would do. But I would really love to keep all the partitions intact.
[GT540 Optimus General] torq1337:
Hmm... what version do you have, got fastboot and clockwork or just original ?
[Defy General] hah2110:
I'm on Stock 2.2 US and Battery Life is HORRENDOUS. I have the Moto Charge app that displays actual battery in the status bar. I charged to 100%, wiped battery stats, turned it on and after 6 minutes of no use, I'm at 97%. What am I missing here?
[Defy General] Step666:
Are there any apps constantly running in the background?

Do you have bluetooth/wi-fi/gps switched on all the time?

Are you using your phone somewhere that's unusually hot, cold or humid?
[Defy General] hah2110:
No, no, no, no, no
[Defy General] Step666:
How long have you had it?

Has the battery always been this bad?

Has it only started recently? Is there some sort of cause, something that happened that has brought about this poor performance?
[Defy General] hah2110:
I just got the phone from a friend but I do not believe it to be an issue directly related to this specific handset.
[Defy General] scrannel:
Having GPS "on" all the time will not drain your battery as it is only being made "available" when an app needs it (mine is always checked and has zero effect on the battery until actually used). Did you do a factory reset after installing 2.2? On the Moto forum many issues are resolved with a reset.
[Defy General] luxdesigns:
Lithium-ion batteries have a big drop off at the start of the discharge profile.

They will then maintain a fairly steady state between about 80% - 40%.

A 3% change, therefore, from 100 to 97 is not equivalent to a 3% change from 80% to 77%.
[Defy General] Step666:
I'm pretty certain it is specific to your handset - most Defys have very good battery life.

Here's my handset:

At that rate, it should last ~5 days.
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
There are always something running in the background. Install a cpu monitoring application and see if the cpu is running wild.

In my case, 1% power lasts for 3~5 minutes usage (game, movie, surfing etc), or 2 hours standby (wifi off), or 1 hour standby (wifi on).
[Defy General] hah2110:
I checked Battery Use, there is nothing crazy. I've also checked Battery History and nothing is using the CPU or keeping it awake. I actually wiped the phone last night, didn't have a sim card in it and left it on over night and it lost 14% in 7 hours. It shouldn't have even lost 2% given that it wasn't connected to a cell tower. I have wiped it twice.
[Defy General] luxdesigns:
I am of a differing opinion.. I think these android devices have terrible battery life.

That being said, invest in a few of the cheap Hong Kong 1800mAH batteries on ebay.

I had a good experience ordering from "farmerseller". Curiously, I ordered 1500mAH batteries but received 1800 mAH batteries..... it took a while to arrive, but they work great and the charger is nicely designed.
[Defy General] Step666:
Compared to what?

What's your frame of reference?

I'm not aware of any other smartphone with specs similar-to or better-than the Defy's that gets anywhere near the battery performance my phone does.

Everyone I know with Galaxy Ss or Desires charges basically every day, one friend with an iPhone4 can get a couple of days out of it but most are only a day, friends with Blackberrys get a couple of days or so.

I regularly surpass 3 days of what I would call normal usage - web browsing, texting, a bit of gaming and the odd call here and there.
[Defy General] hah2110:
Are there any ROMs known to get better battery life? On both my N1 and NS, certain ROMs performed LIGHTYEARS better than other ROMs in the battery department. This is a well known fact that Android is inconsistent on battery life.
[Defy General] hah2110:
So I wiped, re-wiped, flash the beach update.zip, wiped, re-wiped and I'm not confident the wipe is working. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988036

Regardless, I also find it odd that my battery was at 85% and, after the flash/wipe, it charged to full in <10 minutes.
[Defy General] eiben_robert:
Give it a few days of usage and see the results afterward. Basically it needs some cycles to re-create the battery stats after wiping.

You can also install Powertutor to check what apps are "consuming" the battery.

From my experience: with light usage I made once 3 days but normally 1-2 days is all I get (3g, some talks, 30 min browsing, some ebook reading). It was the same with my past 2 Android phones and some 4 Win Mobile phones...

When you are in a really tight spot do the usual tricks: 2g only, disable APN, don't play too much with the phone. You will probably get 3-4 days in one charge :)
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
I updated to 2.2.1 also, and battery life went right down the tubes. I lived with it for two days, and then did a factory reset, and now I have better battery life than with 2.1. I really didn't want to factory reset because of all the fine tuning I did, and not to mention re-downloading all the apps and setting them back up, but I must say it was worth it. After 13 hours I'm at 30%, and that is with heavy use. I started at 100% and in 10 hours without using it much at all, it only dropped 10%, so 1% an hour I can live with. Once I started playing game it went fast, but that is to be expected.
[Defy General] runeblade:
Ahhh!!!!! You guys are killing me from laughter. Don't take this the wrong way....but read more items on these forums...they are a welath of information. First off.... battery stats are wiped. It will take a few days of charging/discharging for the phone to get an accurate idea of actual use. It needs a baseline created. Don't worry yet. It can take up to a week to get really good stats. As for the horrible life on 2.2....did you wipe battery stats before flashing? If not thats your problem. You have to wipe the stats when you go to 2.2. Different profiles and usage. It's mentioned in a number of the roms. With steady hard usage I'm averaging about 2 days between charging. On standby with no use the best I have gotten so far is 6 days. RTFM....:D Hope this helps out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dvigue:
i went back to the IP4 last week from my inspire becasue of a rebooting issue. i miss the nice big screen of the inspire and i LOVE flashing and tinkering with ROMS..

have any of you came from the IP4 latley? regrets? did you or do you want to go BACK to the Ip4?

just looking for opinions and input

thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] bmolloy:
I have a solution for the problem. Get married, buy your wife an iPhone 4 and you can have an Inspire. :) It works for me. (You could also buy an iPad on ebay to itch your iOS scratch, there is a fire sale going on on those things right now.)

I have just passed my 30 day window to return the Inspire and I couldn't be any happier. This phone is great. I have never had a resetting problem but then again I have not rooted my phone yet, I am still waiting for the process and ROMS for this phone to mature a bit.

Any time I pick up my wife's iPhone I feel like it is a toy; it is just so small. It is a good phone if you want to push a button and have something work, if you are a tinkerer you should have stuck with Android.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Papa Luigi:
come back to the inspire, it may have been a bad piece of hardware and just needed to be exchanged. Happened with my wife's Aria, couldn't get any cell connection. We ordered it online but the ATT operator said we could take it in to any corporate ATT store. She did, they checked for a bad SIM, nope, so they exchanged the phone and tested it on the spot, works fine.

The ROM development has been fast so far, but I'm waiting for it to mature too. I played with a Fuze and different android roms for almost two years but the process for the Inspire is so different. Been using my Inspire since the day they hit the stores, stock rom for now...
[HTC Inspire 4G] dvigue:
yeah i am deff a tinker with the OS, so i think i might have to come back
[HTC Inspire 4G] Android_Newb:
In the last year I've had a ton of phones (I'm the head of our IT department so I get to "evaluate" smartphones for use within the organization) and the Inspire is by far the favorite I have EVER used.

Just for comparison sake I've had: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, Blackberry Bold 9700, Blackberry Torch, Samsung Captivate, HTC Aria, Samsung Focus, Motorola Atrix (still have), Dell Streak, Motorola Droid 2 Global, Blackberry Storm 1 and 2, and finally the Inspire.

Even though I haven't rooted the phone yet (plan to in the next day or say) this device is easily the best I have ever used and I couldn't be happier.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mj0528:
I came from an i4 and let my wife have it. I use her phone on occasion and I can't beleive how boring it is. If you love IOS so much. Root and rom with MIUI. I flashed it last night and it's freaking cool!!! So much like IOS! I went back to core droid as it didn't seem as peppy but it was still more peppy that my I4 was the day I got it. :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
Yup iOS is polished and does what it does well, but it's BORING! It's hardly changed at all since the first iPhone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blackviper71:
I can ditto a majority of what was mentioned here. I've had more smartphone in the past two years, I've honestly lost track. The inspire to me is by far my favorite and I haven't even tinkered yet. Actually love the phone stock, but that's my preference.

So, would you be making a good choice coming back to the inspire? Ultimately that's a decision only you can make.

As for the issue you experienced with your first inspire, it certainly doesn't sound like a typical experience.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jerseykirby:
Switched from the i4, won't look back at all. I haven't even rooted my phone yet and I believe it is a better phone and more fun to operate. I like the i4, but it does get repetative very fast. I don't regret it at all, and will probably make it even more concrete once I get it rooted. I say switch back but that's just me.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] VegasEvo4G:
Are you looking for new app ideas? Just thought I'd ask b/c I have an idea for an app that I don't see existing in any form right now. I don't know the first thing about development so I'm stuck right now throwing this idea around...

the captivate was my fav phone. have any of you went to another Andoid phone and come back?

i keep hearing of terrible battery life..truth to that?

thoughts? i might switch from my IP4
[Captivate General] ryude:
If you have an iphone 4, you will definitely hate the battery life of the captivate.
[Captivate General] onesikpuppy:
I went to the Atrix and came back. I have been spoiled by custom ROMS and the Captivates great screen. The Atrix is a very nice phone but it's just wasn't enough of an upgrade to give up what I already had. The only clear benefits the atrix had for me was battery life and working GPS out of the box. It could go 2 days on a charge with no problems. I never had charger anxiety where with the Captivate I had to charge every night or have a dead phone in the morning. GPS would get a lock in seconds to 6 feet and stay there.....amazing after having the captivate for 6 months.

I also had several technical problems with the atrix but I think it was just one bad unit and not the model in general.
[Captivate General] SlappyMcGee:
There is a thread literally 2 down (currently) from this post

[Captivate General] shadow65781:
I used Inspire for a couple of weeks. It's a great phone. Went back to Captivate because there is no auto answer when on headset with Inspire, or I couldn't find it. Wife loves the Inspire. I will check out the GS2 or the Infuse when they are out.

i love the captivate but.i feel that the 4g at&t samsung coming out is the way to go. untill the samsung galaxy s 2 comes out for at&t
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Isn't that 4G Samsung the same phone besides for having a HSUPA enabled modem, like the roms here?
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
No. HSPA+ is AT$T's idea of 4G. Just having HSUPA enabled will not get you on the HSPA+ network if your phone doesn't support it.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
I see. Still, 3,000kbps down is plenty for me. Especially with my 2gb capped data plan :)
