Z06_Mir's battery life trials and tribulations

[Quicksilver7714]

I started having problems with my battery as well. Have you installed a new app that might be running in the background?

I think I figured out my charging problem... it was a stupid thing by me... charger wasn't quite plugged in all the way... haha.

when it was fully charged I unplugged and it is doing fine again.. great battery life. i did go in and force stop a bunch of apps that weren't needed and that seemed to have helped... nothing out of the ordinary though and I usually do a restart once a day or every other day. Who knows.

Yea my girlfriend did the same thing. We both got the entended battery because we love to watch our slingboxes. With the playoffs it's a must

Update

Things were going well, my battery was lasting all day and I was having no issues. Then yesterday it all started again. I unplugged today and within 3 hours it was dead. 30 minutes of talk time the rest standby.. no games or texting even. It makes no sense at all. It says screen time takes majority of battery life but I only had 4 minutes of it!!!!

It's been charging for over an hour now and has only gone up 10%.. again, not even using it.

This is a problem Im having I think. Sometimes the battery is good, and sometimes it gets zapped in 4 hours. Battery usage doesnt tell you much, and even when I go into the *#*#4636#*#* menu, there's nothing running under partial wake that is killing the phone.

I think it's something up with the radios in the phone.

My TB out of the box gets 12-14hrs.....no tweaking needed.

I think something is seriously wrong with the 3G/4G radios with this phone.

Sitting with Wifi in my apartment, I could potentially get 30-48 hours out of the phone based on the tracking I was doing on Excel. Took it out of Wifi, and the thing starts draining at about 5% every half hour to 45 minutes. There is no reasoning why thats the case unless the software is buggy. I'm not even in a 4G area. Heck, I went over to my friends place the other day where I would get no problems with my Droid and the thing was draining heavily. 3G was popping in and out constantly, even though I was showing upwards of 3 bars of 3G signal.

I turned off all the location information with the phone and it seems to be doing better. Android System used to have the 2nd heaviest drain on my battery, but its now hovering near the bottom. Granted, I'm in Wifi right now, but I'm at 96% battery after being unplugged for 2 and a half hours, with the screen on for 13 minutes. And this is with a stock battery.

I really think the issue is with 3g more than 4g. Today for some reason 4g hasn't been working in my area, and my battery life has gone down from what is normal. Not to mention 3g feels so slow now!

The problem is that if you are on 3G, the phone is always looking for 4G...

If you have 4G, the phone is just trying to keep that signal.

Sigh... my phone seems to be totally jacked up lately.

"Android System" is eating all the battery. The CPU is pegged at 100%.. battery dying in 4 hours. Cant figure out what's running or why. Reboots and battery pulls dont help

What do you have running in the background? How often do you have your widgets updating? How often do you have the HTC apps syncing? Do you have your Location Services running?

All of those will cause your Android System to show as eating battery.
