Can anybody explain to me why all of the sudden my battery life has sucked. I have had WolfROM for about two weeks and battery life was normal. Then around 3 days ago my battery just won't last. I don't know what the deal is. I did spend the week in the mountains of Georgia where it was constantly searching for service so it got really hot. I assume that is what killed it?

I don't know I would like to know this is as well. Where I live I get bad cellular reception (even though we have 4g in some spots, weird right?) and have the worst battery life ever. Maybe bad cellular reception/searching for service a lot kills the battery. Can anyone confirm?

Download badass battery (I think it might be gsam battery now) and see if there are any apps sucking battery if not then the heating probably did cause it
use betterbatterystats for partial wakelocks and monitor running apps and keep to a minimal if they don't cache over

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.

Alright thanks for the info, I'm gonna try this out and see if it works. im gonna get betterbatterystats and see if anything is keeping my phone from going into deep sleep and if that doesn't work ill put it in airplane mode so as to compare the battery life with what I get now.

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.

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.

Hey all,
Didn't notice if there was one of these where everyone could post screenshots of their battery usage for the new Evo. I'm thinking we should have a central location to discuss this. Attached are my recent stats and I'm wondering if this is considered good battery life or if something is up with my phone. Mods, if one of these exists, please close and post link.

Seems low I haven't really put my battery through cycles yet but I'll post when I get a chance...I'm guessing from what I've seen so far about 4-5 hours screen on time with mix of internet/games
If you don't post your screen on time shot it really doesn't matter imho...but the 3 shots most people are putting up is perfect for comparison...just my two cents.

It actually might have something to do with all the monitoring your doing. I've found if I leave it alone and don't worry about things I easily get a whole day with all radios on 3 hours of screen time and still have about 40%. The battery life comes from the processor so letting it sleep is key.

This phone is godly, but It's been on the charger more than it hasn't and the battery drains so fast if I do anything. This seriously SUCKS...

I agree. But when I noticed that I was having bad battery life, I had to find out what the cause was. Sometimes it is a rogue app or a system component gone bonkers. Best to try and root it out and then go back to the non-monitoring.

That day I took those pics I was at work. So the wake time without the screen on was me playing podcasts with the screen off. No downloading them. But I seem to have the same result with or without the podcasts.
But I think I did find a major culprit today. One of the stocks widgets I was using seemed to be draining the battery. I uninstalled it and my battery stats seem better.

Pull down the notification bar hit settings then power then click on the power bar which should bring up the breakdown of the battery
I have terrible battery life....
This is also with an hour of voice calls.
And my signal isn't too great for most of the charge.
If you are getting poor battery life, and have disabled any apps, you may want to consider reenabling them to see if that helps. It seems counter intuitive, but I noticed a significant drop in battery life after disabling certain pre installed apps.
Okay so I'm switching from my incredible 2 and ordered a rezound and it came like 3 days ago and my 4g sim card hasn't come yet so the rezound hasn't even been activated. So one day I picked up the phone and it was really hot. I thought that was weird since the phones screen was off and it wasn't charging. I just want to know if its normal or not? I ordered a 1980mah slim acesoft battery just in case.
Many people have reported hot phones, but I myself have never had it get above 100. Check to see what is running in the background.
I can get mine to 114 easily just by playing music and surfing the web. Won't go higher though. I tried. And bad signal will cause it to overheat like a mother f'er. I have the extended battery and had 65% no signal, after only 13 hours with 20 minutes screen on time I'm at 37%. Its awful. Never had this issue with any other phone. Looking at the nexus or maxx currently as nothing I do improves battery. Prior I was on sprint with the evo shift. Single core always overclocked to 1.6ghz it was a rocket and only overheated when I really pushed it super hard. But never to higher than 109. This phone is just rubbish. Also to more directly answer your question yes it will become a pocket warmer at times for no reason. Im on slim rom with literally NOTHING syncing automatically. And it still heats up like its trying to do something.

Seems like overheating Rezounds are more common than normal. I've never had a problem unless I'm playing an intense game.
If you put a case or skin on the battery appears to get hotter due to heat buildup and transfer. Make sure any case has matching holes the same as the battery cover. Just sayin.
Hi all here is my situation I've had my phone now for about 18 months or maybe a bit longer it wont charge to 100% every single time sometimes does sometimes doesn't. Phone turns itself off even at 50% power left then when re-started shows 0%, wait a while, maybe 10 or 20 mins then re-start again sometimes shows more power than before (today went off @ 56% came back on @ 84%, go figure). Back in the old days of nicads and ni-mh batteries there is a phenomenon called "recovery" where they magically get recharged from "sub-space" and then they last a bit longer.
up untill the past week I thought li-ion batteries were immune from the phenomenon of "recovery" but they have now showed me to not know as much as I thought....
Oh, the other dead (pardon the pun ) give away that my battery is dying, is the fact that it has started to buldge and is now a little hard to get out of the phone lucky for me *touch wood, its not getting hot while charging, cause u know these things can go BANG and make big damages....
Just thought I'd share some wisdom of something new I've learned, who knows maybe some else can learn something new too...
P.s. I've already ordered a battery set from eBay, 2 * 1500 mAh plus wall charger for AU$ 10 +$4 quick delivery... will have to see if those batteries are better than the stock batteries.
Sent from my Legend using xda app-developers app
Sorry to hear, but my stock battery's the best. It still provides advertised hours of stock, sometimes even more on custom ROMs.
But on the contrary, I did use two other third-party batteries, both from eBay, both from Hong Kong with the dreaded 6-week shipping to Canada. The first one lasted fine after the first year, the second one died on the day I used it @ 30%. I threw it in the snow (I think that's illegal and dangerous, oops) in rage. But the first one, as it aged its very short third-party imitative age, began to bulge, like yours.
I stopped using it and placed it in my wallet pocket as an emergency battery for whenever I'd really need it. Since my wallet is always on my person and I live in cold-cold-Canada, the battery was always warm from body heat, something I believed damaged it to the point of disrepair.
A few months ago on a trip to the States, I had to use it, but unsurprisingly it lasted for around half an hour at every charge and would never charge > 16%. Ouch.
I'm now back to one battery, but it suits me. The only thing I need now from my Legend is SMS and Wi-Fi Hotspot.
Regarding difficulties in removing the battery, have you tried the red lever? My bulgy battery was bulged for months before I figured that thing out, so I always either had to use it as a primary battery, or spend a few hours periodically shaking it out in a very gross, suggestive hand gesture before it got out ENOUGH to push the battery out. Pain in the bum! I found it, and it was a godsend from HTC, them probably knowing we'd use third-party batteries. <3
Yes, thanks for the red lever tip, although I did know that one already I could not use my finger to pull the red tab/lever down as the battery was a bit tight, I had to get a flat screw driver to latch onto the red tab to pull it down as it hurt like hell trying to use my finger.

Here's a bit of an update, it is about 5 months since getting those new batteries, and they are now both showing signs that they are not very good, I have had to swap them out regularly as they cannot last a whole day, even with reduced usage. So it looks like the old saying of you get what you pay for is very true, best to avoid cheap Chinese ebay batteries.

Does such a thing exist? The battery life on the DNA is killing me, I am considering trading this back to VZW for the Galaxy S3 since I'm still in my 14 day trial.
Basically I'm looking for a case that you "charge" and doubles as a case and a charger, once the charge on the case runs out, it goes back to the battery.

Sounds like you have a faulty device. My battery life has been nothing but excellent compared to my Galaxy Nexus. Also, the SGS III is going to get about the same battery life as the DNA.

I don't need to charge my phone that often, its just I never like the idea of having by battery below 50% just in case I need to go somewhere spur of the moment where I may not be able to charge my phone either of a wall charger or car charger. I also love to play various games on my phone a lot throughout the day to waste time, play a lot YouTube for my kids, I stream all of my music since there is a huge lack of storage on this device & also have to rely on Dropbox for all of my pictures and videos. I know that I could probably get away with letting my phone go down to around 15% or so and then charging it fully and then go on about my day from there, however I just never know when I may have to leave.

Not because the battery is horrible on the HTC DNA but because I want to put my mind at ease for when I don't have my charger because I'm in a different car and I need to navigate to a place I've never been or something else that takes a lot of power. People see me as a computer geek and as so expect me to be able to whatever on my phone at a moments notice. Which sucks when we are at a checkout and need to use someone elses number for a pin and my battery is dead.

Why don't you just get a small external battery pack?
This is another reason I want something like this. I always hate tje fact that there are all kinds of accessories like this for the darn iPhone, however there using anything close for android.

I don't need to charge my phone that often, its just I never like the idea of having by battery below 50% just in case I need to go somewhere spur of the moment where I may not be able to charge my phone either of a wall charger or car charger. I also love to play various games on my phone a lot throughout the day to waste time, play a lot YouTube for my kids, I stream all of my music since there is a huge lack of storage on this device & also have to rely on Dropbox for all of my pictures and videos. I know that I could probably get away with letting my phone go down to around 15% or so and then charging it fully and then go on about my day from there, however I just never know when I may have to leave.

I don't believe this is the typical way to guage a battery's life span. Basically what you are saying is that you would need to charge your battery from empty twice a day. Given the amount of use put on your phone that is extremely good. That's about 10 hours of screen on time and there are very few phones that come close to that. The note2 being the one exception I can think of off the top of my head. It's not a problem with your phone it's a symptom of how you use it.

I've been thinking of getting the PowerSkin PoP'n though I just found out about it today. I might spring for it if I have a serious issue. It would triple the size of my phone when in use.

Don't get me wrong here, I am not trying to talk down the battery performane of the DNA. I am just rough on my phones and have always been. I don' ever remember getting a full day use out of a smart phone except for when I used the EVO 3D with a Seidio 4,000 MAh extended battery. I have always been the kind of person that doesnt feel like I should limit use or features on my device just to conserve battery drain, I do know that this is all my choice and I have to deal with it. I am just looking for a good battery case or an external battery pack like this one http://www.amazon.com/13000mAh-External-Portable-Blackberry-Motorola/dp/B008AQLHFI.

Does such a thing exist? The battery life on the DNA is killing me, I am considering trading this back to VZW for the Galaxy S3 since I'm still in my 14 day trial.
Basically I'm looking for a case that you "charge" and doubles as a case and a charger, once the charge on the case runs out, it goes back to the battery.

Ironic, my DNA gets a few more hours of battery than my S3 does. Just to warn you so you don't start this same thread in the S3 forum....

I've also been wondering about who made some nice mophie style juicepack cases. I loved them on my iphone, I barely used it, but when I needed it certain days it was really nice to have. I'll be getting my girlfriend a DNA, and I know it's something she's been wanting also since our late poodle (RIP lil Oscar) at the top half of the one for her iphone.
I actually get about 12 hours of hard usage, with very light I've seen 30. I haven't seen better battery life on anything I've owned.

If u barely touch ya phone I'm sure ull get that battery life. In those 12 to 30 hour days what's your screen on time? If it's a hour or 2 then all that mean is the phone is good at not draining while idol which means nothing to me.

Sooooo does anybody have a lead on a charging case?
I don't think it exists for this phone closest thing your going to get is a portable battery bank which can be plugged into the device to charge it but that's about it.

I get an average of 3-4 hours screen on time per charge and that's usually stretched over 12-15 hours...
