I've been watching my battery life recently as I hate my phone dying during the middle of the day and was wondering if battery life would be affected by playing large music files?
I listen to spotify quite a bit and haven't really noticed my battery severely affected by playing music for a long time but this week I was listening to a podcast which was 160MB (2Hr music podcast if you were wondering) and my battery life plummeted. This would also correlate then to why my battery life plummets when listening to other large podcasts.
Any ideas
Try to wipe battery stats from recovery or calibrate your battery with an app from the play store.Also if that podcast is on the internet or radio i think that's why (those signals like to eat battery) .If not then try switching to 2G only mode when you are listening to them and turn off background data.

wiping batterystats has been shown to do absolutely nothing. Battery calibration apps are also useless. If u were streaming this podcast vs listenjng to music locally, thay would explain the large drain.
I had all internets (wifi and data) off to try and max it out yet it was still plummeting but my CompSci friends have said that it's likely. Thanks for your help guys

Be on stock rom and buy a powerful batter.
Also delete bloatware apps.

Hi,
I am considering buying a Hero, but wonder if anybody can let me know how long the battery will last if I am using it only as a mp3 player.
I am think of when I am on a plane and wifi, bluetooth and the phone are all off, and just the media player is playing mp3s.
Any idea of average battery life?
Cheers.
With my Hero the battery-drain is very minimal, when using mp3 player.
Same with me - the MP3 player uses very little battery. Not sure how long it would last, because I have never tested it, but my guess is much longer than a transatlantic flight.
i'll tell you exactly how little battery the music player uses with an example.
I had been using my phone all day at school browsing and texting and games etc. By the time it was time for me to go home the battery level was at 3%, I needed my music to get home its long ride on the subway and the bus. I went into airplane mode and the battery lasted me all the way home approximately 45-50 minutes that was on 3% battery life.
So you can guess how long it would last with a full charge.
about 14~15 hours at least,,
Hey gang,
Is there a way to quickly drain your battery SAFELY?
I want to drain my Eris' battery so I can wipe the battery stats in Amon's recovery.
I don't want to wait for the remaining amount of battery life to discharge naturally as I need to start benchmarking something later today.
I also don't want to damage any internal parts, like leaving the vibrating thing on for an hour solid... or overheating the unit too much.
Any help with this?
Pandora is a good start.
lol....
maybe a specific app designed to do this task?
There is an app for this I came across it awhile ago. But I don't remember what it was called.

I would just turn on your GPS, wifi, turn your screen brightness up, and surf the web for a bit. Shouldn't take you long to drain it.
Stream video from YouTube. Probably the biggest battery drainer (do a search for "longest video" and you'll find one like 13 hrs long). Mix this with the ideas above and your battery will drain in no time.

Get setcpu, overclock as high as you can. go to advanced settings and set your interval (first setting) to 1.
Wireless tether + Streaming music + LED flashlight on = goodbye battery.
Hi all,
I'm a longtime iOS user who just upgraded to an ATT Skyrocket (android LTE phone) and I'm really unhappy with the battery life. However, I really crave a big screen so I don't want to switch to the 4S unless I have to so I'm checking out windows phone.
I was wondering how the battery life on the Titan is while listening to music saved directly on the device through the Zune software.
On my iPhone I could listen to the iPod which drained barely any battery (maybe 2-3% an hour at most) while using the Android stock player (which i found to be the best in terms of battery) it's more like 10%+. I listen to a ton of music while working everyday (10+ hours) so having 10% drain/hour just because the music player is going on in the background is unacceptable to me.
Also, are their lockscreen controls for the music player on the titan? And does it support in-line headphone remote control (double click to skip forward, triple click to go back)?
Any experiences? Thanks!
I've found it really light on the battery while listening to music especially wit wired headphones though it is pretty good on Bluetooth too. From the lock screen you can pause and wind and skip. Also the volume.controls work without unlocking.

I find the battery life amazing compared to my Atrix. And I think my atrix has the largest or one of the largest stock batteries on Android.
I flew from the west coast of the US to London last week, listened to music the whole way (with the radio off on the airplane, obviously), when I arrived in London my battery had drained down to about 70% full. With airport and connection in Chicago time, that was about 16-17 hours of listening. In general I am pretty happy with the battery life on the Titan.

Yes it supports these controls. I was using the headphones from my old Samsung Focus.
About everything true to the iPhone in terms of media playback, is true tithe HTC Titan. Except for purchasing music videos OTA, though that may be my inability to find any MV via the mobile Zune marketplace.
Well, and if you have sensitive cans/IEMs, then you may also notice a slight dc spike when switching tracks.

If you only buy the Titan to listen to music by itself, then you should have a good/fair battery life, but if you buy it to play games, watch out cause it will drainyour battery quickkk

To be fair, the same can be said for any mobile device I've used. Games are just battery hogs. iPhones included.
So im going on holiday soon and just want a rough idea on how long to expect from the battery with just listening to music in plane mode.
Im currently using xlite v1.3 ROM so my battery use day to day is awesome i get on avg 15 hours use and have 70%+ remaining(bout 40 mins music listening in car, web browsing, calls, texting and maybe 15 mins playing snake), also do headphones make a massive impact on the battery life? Headphones i will be using re either Audio Tecnica ATH M50 or Shure SRH 840 (the Shures are mine and the M50s a friends).
Would really appreciate if someone could roughly tell me as i have a 11.5 hour flight then a 5 hour waiting time and then a second flight of 5.5 hours...
Regards Matt
buy a second battery then you have no worries
I get well over a full day when listening to music (and taking a few photos etc) through headphones. Can't comment on using loudspeaker though.
I use Poweramp and am on Omega v11 so would expect similar battery life to you.

Thanks for the reply guys, are there any decent more powerful batteries available yet?

i bought 3000mah battery from sunglobal, known battery supplier in Asia. but, sadly the performance is worse than original 2100mah..so i make this 3000mah as backup on emergency only..
Ever since switching to CM10 I noticed my battery drains fast and takes a long time to charge back up. This morning around 5:30 i was at 60 ish% used it for 10 minutes and left it alone while i was at the gym. I just listened to music on the way home (20 min walk) and i was at 14%. What could be draining my battery so fast?
Install gsam battery monitor or battery stats and it will show you what apps are causing wakelock
Gsam lists two wake locks. One is called media server and the other power amp full version unlocker
What do i do once i actually find the culprits?
You can uninstall them or freeze them in titanium backup
Don't freeze media server I'm pretty sure that's from you listening to music.

Lol yeah I would have mentioned that but it kind of seemed like common sense to me
I was getting bad battery at first, something that caused my problem was a different kernel, also another problem was the way I managed my battery. When I go to the gym and I know I am going to be away from my phone I put it on airplane mode or I turn of the other things like mobile network. Also if you have your screen timeout above a minute that can effect it. Also you have your screen a bunch that will mess you up to when it comes to battery life. So just think about some things that won't really drain your battery and that should help.
