Battery Dies too Quickly
Basically, I'm just looking for some ideas on troubleshooting and fixing my crazy battery consumption. I tried searching through the forums but couldn't find any good hits on this topic. A lot of people have reported really awesome power consumption and I'd be happy if I could even get a whole 16 hours in.
I'm thinking about just flashing my phone to the vanilla install but I am worried about my warranty, in case it is a hardware/battery issue. The Problem For some reason I am unable to keep a charge for longer than (estimated) 6 hours. If I actually use the phone for a consistent amount of time, it's considerably less. If I let the phone charge over night while I sleep, it's dead in about 4-6 hours after unplugging it. My Setup The Phone is practically brand new (less than a month old). I bought it new from Amazon. I am using the AC Charger that came with it because USB charging would never reach a full battery (within a reasonable time, anyways) I am only using a single desktop. I don't have any widgets open -- Just a few shortcuts on my desktop. I am using the plastic theme but it doesn't seem to make a difference which theme I use. I do not use 3G Data Transfer (Voice and Texts only). I do not have email or any other message polling on (as far as I can tell). Running 'top' reports that I am using very little CPU. It is not over-clocked. I did install the Advanced Kernel stuff from the repository. I tried to use the battery monitor program but the results didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. It ran in the background (which I didn't assume it would) so I didn't keep track of what I was running during which period of time.

Re: Battery Dies too Quickly
Wow dude , you have tons of bloatware and useless battery eating apps :D
Remove those things tutorial-home-applet facebook-installer 1.0-4.1.1+0m5 user/other 88 facebook-services 0.5.5 user/hidden 52 foreca-installer 1.0.1.1+0m5 user/other 88 amazon-installer 1.0.1.1+0m5 user/other 96 battery-eye 0.7.7-1 user/utilities 196 batterygraph 0.3.2 user/utilities 356 There might be others , those are the ones that I noticed |
Re: Battery Dies too Quickly
Hi Kurtis,
You'd like to try uninstalling advanced-power* to see if the problem persists. You may install it back later. Also, would you tell me which options have you turned on in qcpufreq? |

Re: Battery Dies too Quickly
Hi Kurtis
Could you please tell me why would it make a difference if removed the following tutorial-home-applet: doesnt not run in the background, it just a video which will run once started these are just installers foreca-installer 1.0.1.1+0m5 user/other 88 amazon-installer 1.0.1.1+0m5 user/other 96 thanks |

Re: Battery Dies too Quickly
also Check your email, if it has been kept on referesh every 15 mins it will drain the battery. Keep it something like an hour or so.
you can always go back and refresh the email if you are expecting any that instance. |
Re: Battery Dies too Quickly
Hi kurtis. Do you know what is the parent process in your list that run sleep 300?

Re: Battery Dies too Quickly
I had he same issue with my N900 but after I flashed it, i noticed that the battery life was increased by 1/3th of what it was before. i think poor battery life is also a software problem.
|
Re: Battery Dies too Quickly
Try to put the phone into offline mode and see if the battery draining continues. If it does, at least you know it is not a network drain.
Disable any desktop widgets (not including program shortccuts, those are harmless) and see if that helps. If it does, add them 1 at a time uintil you find the bad one. |
