They must be getting close to release, because I'm running out of complaints.
This is going to be a good release! I'm one happy camper right now!!!
If anyone's been holding off on ICS because of heat and battery issues, it might be time to take the plunge.

I'm with this guy, I came from stock GB OTA... i just s-off'd and ran the latest leak
it's tight, I can find nothing wrong with it, it's lightyears beyond the ol GB OTA.
So no issues what's so ever?

right now it's great for me, but i don't know what issues you've ran into on the previous leaks
I definitely have to agree. Sometimes I'm weary to jump to conclusions so fast but on GB my battery wasn't great but the heat was low. On ics (first leak) heat was horribly high.
On this leak I have been on my phone for 7.5 hours, listening to music, an hour in a waiting room using the net or playing games. Then used it for an hour GPS while driving to a sister city for a service call. Heat was NEVER uncomfortable to bear, and still have 40% battery (stock 3.8v battery)
This is my first HTC, so I don't know what their standard practice is. But when I had Motorolas you didn't see a bunch of release candidate leaks prior to an OTA. Somebody's determined to do it right, and that's quite refreshing after everything I've heard about the Thunderbolt experience.
I have a serious issue with the leak.
If you drop it, it shatters. Wouldn't an ICS just kinda plop and then you have the 5 second rule go into effect without any damage done?
Seriously, this thing is fantastic....

Just restore your system with a nanoid backup before it drops
This release is absolutely the best so far thats been on this phone.
Best stock rom I've ever had on a smartphone. Fast, smooth and easy on the battery.
I put Friday's leak on Monday morning, and took it off in about ten minutes because of the heat.
The worst thing about yesterday's leak was downloading it. Everything else has been smooth and easy. This is the coolest the phone has ever run.

I got this phone Friday.
I didn't root it Saturday but it was in the back of my head. Before I rooted it, I noticed that the battery life was the worst I had ever seen. I read online that this is a bug in 2.3.6 (good job samsung).
It charged while I was watching some TV, so I rooted it and installed UnNamed. This knocked me down to about 50%. I finished off the battery playing games. Then charged it back to 100%. When it was roughly 58% it froze so I had to pull the battery. When I turned it back on, and the battery was magically at 29%. Which seemed odd to me, is it just inaccurate or how does that work?
The hell is wrong with this phone? Nothing gets to me more than bad battery life. If I can't get this resolved, i'll have to bring it back to AT&T and swap it out for something else.
no advice for you, but mine is going on ebay when the htc ics phone comes. I haven't tried them yet. oh, I'm importing all phones from now on, too.
I noticed the same thing with my samsung get the galaxy nexus has a great battery...

Most more than likely it's the wiring leading up to RAM processor, and, consequently, the flux capacitor, which is probably where your problem is. The flux capacitor is what regulates the battery input/output which can sometimes lead to poor battery life, disappearing battery percentages, and in certain cases where your last name is McFly - time travel.

Search is your friend, this is a well documented situation. In short it's how li tech batteries work in combination with how our fuel gauge works. (it goes off of voltage vs counting mah, and there's voltage sag under high current draw, this equates to it showing lower than it is on reboots at low power)
Battery percentage artificially reports low when the device is rebooted on low battery. This is widely documented on these forums.
If you're returning the phone because of this one small minor glitch, good riddens.
Also, Unnamed 2.x is not immune to the BT-AMP bug that kills battery on UCKK6, since it's based off of UCKK6. This is why many reverted to Unnamed 1.x
And why did you post a new thread on this? There's a dedicated thread for UCKK6 battery issues.
You need to be patient dude. Use search and read through all the related posts in this forum. You can begin with flashing the rooted stock 2.3.4 with KH7.

It's a minor hardware glitch that happens only when you reboot your phone on low battery. Solution is:
1) Accept the weirdness of your battery rising after the glitch
2) Reboot when on charger if the battery is below 50-60%
3) Reboot at a higher level of battery
You didn't magically "lose" 30%+ of battery - that's impossible. You just had the estimate of charge level thrown way off.
As an example of what is possible - right now my typical drain is well below 1%/hour when the phone is sitting in good signal. In weak signal it's about 1%/hour.
Man I don't know what the deal is I'm on this thing gaming web surfing and other **** and I got my wife saying "Your always on your damn phone " and I get 18-20 hours per charge

It is, as I've said before, the one corner case where our fuel gauge fails. It's the small price we pay for NEVER having to worry about battery recalibration - it will always converge towards truth, the only problem being that high load after a reset (rebooting on low battery) will throw it off for a few hours.

Good to know. I can never charge my phone with 4g turned on for more than 10 minutes. It always starts blinking. It would suck to say that my phone is defective. I keep waiting for a fix, but I might have to call this one in and get a new one.
Where does this 3.8 vs 3.7 rumor originate from? I have a 3.8v and have had ZERO issues with heat, what defines hot? Physical heat or CPU/Battery temp?

I agree, every phone I've had has gotten to highest temps using GPS. Its just part of computers, everything gets hot after high usage, its normal. If your phone gets too hot, it'll shut down like a computer would or a rezound OC'd.

Yeah, thats not a rumor. Do a search for 3.8v and see all the posts that have been over this. 3.8 has major issues with heat, if yours doesn't consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Also if you do root, stick with the GB roms. ICS roms have problems with charging past the high 80's for battery capacity.

Heat
When I called Verizon to see what they could do about my Rezound running hottish (gets to 110 after running Sentinel 3; around 113 in navigation; idles in the 70's), I was told that Verizon and HTC have never heard of these phones getting hot, or heat being an issue, but they had helpful hints:
1) If you are streaming, stop streaming for a while
2) Put on a Vinyl case
3) Buy an extended battery
4) Hard reset
5) Realize it is a computer without a fan, it will get hot
So there you have it. Per Verizon, they don't get hot so your initial premise is apparently wrong. jk.
I tested 2 refurbs. First one shot up to 130 almost instantly, and that's when I learned what real heat was. Second one mirrored my current Rezound # 4; idled hotter on side by side, but temperature increased less when running the same apps. Decided to return both refurbs and keep my current.
Amazing. Just when I've got enough stuff turned off that the phone is only ten or fifteen degrees above room temp, it turns out that it's not charging anyway.
Right now the only way my phone will charge is if I turn it off.
Maybe this is because I took the leak and went back to GB. I was convinced that all the power being lost to heat was the reason it wouldn't charge. Now, not so much.
I have pretty much everything turned off, and the phone's not actually using any juice. But it still isn't taking power unless I actually shut the device off.
The next leak can't get here soon enough. And I wish I meant that in a much better way.
Right now I'm glad I'm not one of those people who remembers every day of their life. Because I can't wait to forget the day I ruined my perfectly good Rezound with that leak.

Maybe it's just a bad phone ? Sure alot of people seem to be having some heat and battery issues, but just as many do not. There are so many variables between phones, unfortunately you probably got a borderline phone which can't tolerate the new software .
It sounds like you have a lot more issues than the leak is causing. The battery life complaint I could see. I've upgraded thirty phones and had two that had a decrease in battery life and this seems to be about normal for what I see on the forums. But the charging issue, that's a different story. I don't think the next leak is going to repair that any more than flashing the leaked RUU again would, but that might be what your phone needs.
It sounds like you think the leaked firmware has mucked up your charging.
What voltage/battery are you using?
Do you have another around that you can test?
When it is charging does it say USB or AC?
It might be better in the long run to see if Vzw will give you a refurb.
I have the big HTC battery, about 2.8 Amps. When charging, it always says USB, even when the USB is plugged into a wall adapter.
And yes, I didn't have these problems when I ran the GB release, but I also know that restoring my GB apparently did not restore all files. For example, I had to replace my WiFi module from another package in order to get rid of the WiFi error.
If you are within warranty I would call up HTC parts and accessories and explain your charging issue. I think they will be willing to send you a replacement battery to see if it fixes your issue. Some or many have had issues with the 3.8v batteries, when I rma'd mine they sent me a 3.7v. It is relatively quick and painless.... unlike sending it to PCD repair.
*hmm maybe you consider the "big HTC battery" the extended battery; my extended is 3.7v and stock replacement is 3.7v for reference.

I would expect it to. In your particular situation, the easiest route to an answer is to put it in airplane mode for several hours and compare.
Also, if it really bugs you, get one of the apps the other guys have suggested.
Although it seems to happen less frequently, sometimes an app update keeps the phone awake.

On mine the download manager was using as much power through wake locks as the screen was. Disabled that ***** and turned off force gpu rendering in the developer options for good measure. It made all the difference.
My phone was over heating and losing charge extremely fast. I decided to try something random and put some of the aluminum off the back of a laptop LCD between the phone and the battery. It seems to keep the phone much cooler and the charge holds a lot longer. I can play Finaly Fantasy 3 now for a few hours without the phone getting hot anymore. Don't know if it will work for everyone but it seems to be working for me.

They wanted me to let them replace mine, but I told them to **** off. I'm not giving them a new phone for a refurb. That is one thing they could definitely use some improvement on. If you sell me a faulty device don't try to give me a refurb, give me a new phone.

Nah, the battery can breath fine. The insulating aluminum is actually between the physical phone (sim card and all the interals) and the battery. The battery is completely open on the back. The phone itself is also not getting hot anymore so I don't really know. It used to get so hot that the screen itself was hot to the touch and so was the plastic cover on the back. The battery actually has the paint missing in the pattern of the lines of the rear cover from being so hot. I am sure the battery is at least partially cooked but it made it a full 12 hours today on one charge, thats up from 4 hours.

Results are skewed for the day, I pulled the battery to replace the aluminum. I didn't have any scissors yesterday so I wound up with a rough looking piece of aluminum that I had to tear apart to make fit. I cut it to fit today so its a much nicer fit and it still has some adhesive from where they glued it to the monitor. I'll let it burn down all day tomorrow and post the stats. I had wifi and google maps running evidently though during that time. I know I talked for around an hour and a half on it and I was in the office most of the day with nothing to do so I probably spent two hours texting.

Anyone ever notice after a few weeks of the same rom the phone going kind of haywire? I've had texts go to the right contact/wrong number, I've had the ring actually dodge my finger when trying to slide the answer icon into it(kind of funny/pain in the ass), pictures in stock gallery showing as corrupt, random warm ups, etc.

I've had texts go to the right contact/wrong number, I've had the ring actually dodge my finger when trying to slide the answer icon into it(kind of funny/pain in the ass), pictures in stock gallery showing as corrupt, random warm ups, etc.
Re flashing fixes it, maybe it's related to your problem gray, I don't really know.

I had only been on WolfROM for a week. My battery seems to be returning to normal though. I guess some normal usage fixed it.
I tried Vigor360, and though I hate Sense, it was.. okay...except battery life was worse than on my Thunderbolt. I've tried flashing different kernels but more problems usually arrise out of the blue and I have NO CLUE which kernels are actually good , good as in they actually male an effort to improve the battery life. I'm currently on a CM9 ROM and holy hell! The keyboard lags and battery life is ATROCIOUS ! I haven't even hardly installed any apps!
I tried Newt's One XXX, v5.1.1 but couldn't stand the minor bugs, but I assume battery life on that ROM is way worse than on Vigor360 (since usually, the higher the version of Sense, the worse it is on the battery) when I had a galaxy Nexus, the picture quality was a joke, but I made it well through the day with it! I'm not getting an extended battery. The phone is thick enough -.-
My current usage is about 7 hours,an hour and a half of screen time, battery is at 7%. I can sort of stand sense 3.6 so long as it isn't theme. What ROM/kernel combo do you guys use to get through the day, or did I make a mistake getting this phone? (No offense)

going to need some things from you:
1. are you s-on or off
2. what firmware are you on
3. do you like sense or aosp more
edit: 7 and 1/2 hours screen time. that is awesome for the REZ. the HD screen is what kills the battery the most. if you can get 7 hours then bravo.
He said he is averaging 7hrs of use with 1.5hrs screen time which is pretty bad. Believe it or not, newts one xxx has probably the best battery life for the rez. I can easily get 14hrs with 3hrs screen time with stock battery. Yesterday I got 17 hrs with 5.5hrs screen time on extended battery. That is probably the best Rom atm and sense 4+ is much more appealing to the eye. All I can say is if you don't like sense, you bought the wrong phone. People will forget about this phone before aosp/aokp is perfected, even though they are making great progress. I can never get any kernels to work right either. Leaving stock kernels is usually best. As with any android phone, you have to work for battery life

Wow!! The big reason I have this phone is.. well..
Had a Nexus, broke it and sold it for $75, relative let me use an iPhone 4... I lasted a week before caving and bought a Thunderbolt for $90.
I couldn't stand the ancient android OS and the phone was having random data drops, so I got Verizon to replace it with another thunderbolt. The replacement had the same issue + the vibrate motor decided when and when not to work. The guy on the phone was like "well, since you've had several replacements of this phone, we're gonna see about sending g you a different phone to resolve your issues once and for all, but the phone you receive won't come with a battery cover or battery." I told him I had a battery cover and battery for a Rezound and asked if that could be sent to me, he said "sure, we should be able to do that."
This phone killed my 32GB microSD card :'(
I have S-OFF. I prefer AOSP, but they seem get get home horrendous battery life.

When asking for help you usually shouldn't trash every kernel/rom made available to us by our hard working devs. Also, your theory on the sense number being higher = higher battery usage is way false. Sense 4 & sense 4.1 were actually designed to decrease battery usage and lag so I would stick with one of those. Also, try underclocking your cpu and changing governors.

People need to stop judging battery life based on screen-on time and hours of use. It varies per person depending on how many accs/apps are syncing. I am tired of all this "better battery" and comparing usage time. If you want more battery, stop syncing on all apps/account. I wish people would stop posting screenshots of their usage. It just means they don't use their phone as much in terms of accs and apps running. Stock rom/kernel best for stability.

It might vary somewhat, but screen-on time and total time are still good yardstick level indicators of battery charge longevity. It's not like when you sync your google account your battery only lasts 1/3 as long - it's maybe a 10% difference, depending on your signal strength, if you're on wifi, etc.

Try reformatting the sd card on your computer via a card reader.
Rage ROM 1.9.1 is a good ROM, nice and smooth. I got about 2 and a half hours of screen on time with that ROM and Snuzzos Funky Kernel. Very nice combination.
If you want to be real fancy you can build a CM10 ROM. There's a guide for it in the Dev section. (Well, the guide is to make CM9, but it's easy to modify the commands to make it build CM10 instead). I get about 3 hours and 15 mins of screen on time on average with the stock battery, no kernel modifications or anything fancy. Brightness is at 25%. I ran it with brightness on 100% for a day and got about 2 hrs and 15 mins of screen on time.

As much as you dislike this method of determining battery life, it is really the only way to gauge battery life on a forum. You are right that it also depends on apps syncing and such but a Rom that can get 12hrs with 3hrs screen time is more battery friendly than a Rom that can do that same12hrs but with 1.5hrs screen on time with the same setup and usage.

How much battery account sync uses is dependent on just how popular you are we have push sync. This isn't Android 1.5 wen're talking about. Push sync uses very little battery.
And sure, I could build a CM10 ROM, but won't it basically be useless cause most things will be broken or barely working?
I've been running it as a daily driver since the 12th. It's surprisingly stable. No random FCs or anything. There are some graphical artifacts while watching streaming video like on YouTube and Project Butter isn't working, but it's still pretty smooth. Bluetooth calling isn't working either, but nor is it on AOSP ICS either. That's pretty much it for problems.

And just to clarify, I'm not.dissing ROM's or developers, in fact, I'm going to admit, I'm a huge Newtoroot fanboy lol. Maybe its cause I've known of him since the Droid Incredible! But I've been running One XxX Rom for about a day now and battery life is still pretty bad, what are some good Sense kernels for battery life?

Try snuzzo's 1.6rc2 kernel with it . I am on ecliptic Rom, but have run Newts and switched to that kernel on both. It's in his funky kernel thread.

how the heck are you guys getting these ridiculous screen on times with the stock battery?? the best ive ever gotten WITH AND EXTENDED BATTERY is like 3hr screen on time and ~13 hours unplugged with countershrikes AOSP and Funky Kernel
and no where near that with my stock battery

I've been wondering that myself lol. I haven't done anything different; same apps, same sync settings, same display brightness, just the ROM + kernel is different. I'm not even undervolted like I was and I'm doing better than before lol... Must be the ROM/stock CM10 kernel I guess.
