Hey guys.
i was wondering if someone could shed some light on the EVOs battery life and their experience with it i am currently running a custom rom but it has stock kernal and it runs relatively smooth and just fine but my battery life is always unpredictable. sometimes it will get very hot and last only a few hours while other times it will stay cool and last up to 2 days (extended life battery equipped in phone). so i was wondering if any of you had either a great battery saving and monitor app your prefer to use or some sort of task killer or something of the sorts or just tips and etc in general to help me combat my short charge issue.
thanks in advance!
P.S. i also do about the same thing everyday give or take a few smaller sized apps and always close recent apps regularly.
In general, the battery sucks.
But try greenify, it seems to help me

the OEM battery did indeed suck but this battery does well as long as the phone doesnt get really hot (like at least 90+ degrees farenheit) than it will last for days on end no matter what i do which is kind of strange.
Indeed, the battery does suck, and greenify does help, but try this battery....
I'm running it and it slightly increases the life by abt 3-4 hrs....
edit: since i'm new to xda, i can't post links, but it's called ec technonology
just search "htc evo 3d battery" on amazon and this should be the second result

i tried the underclocking using kernal tuner but my limited knowledge of kernal tuner made it a little hard so i set to the conserative and powersaver preset a few times but it was too laggy and ran very choppy which i didnt like but on xondemand it works smooth and gives me reasonable battery life so long as it doesnt get hot. im on a 3500mah battery though. and my screen birghtness is about 1/4 of the way up.

I've been using SetCPU for a while now, but I recently rooted my EVO 3D and drop the app in there. I touched nothing but add a single profile, which is:
Screen Off: Priority 100 192Max/192Min
For the sake of battery life. But it seems that at times the phone instead gets really hot and suddenly the entire batter drains in like half an hour... What gives? At other times, it does work like it should and it can last a day+, but the former worries me. Tips and stuff? kthx.

Recalibrate your battery?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA App
Sounds like you have a rogue app running the battery down, try juice defender or system panel to track down what is causing the drain. If you think it is SetCPU (which I doubt but possible) just freeze that with Titanium backup. Or you can disable the profile and see if that fixes it also. I wouldn't recommend going with 192/192 you may want to bump it up to 192/382, or whatever your kernel supports in the 300 range.
So, I made a switch from HD2 running android to Amaze hoping it will have a better battery life coz of its juicy more 1730mAh battery, more power efficient s-lcd screen and the fact its an native android device (which the hd2 wasn't) but its been barely 2 days and I'm seriously disappointed with it.
I'm have a moderate usage which includes calls, pandora, youtube and net surfing but it barely lasts till evening and the usage is actually less than what i did on HD2 coz I don't have put any games on Amaze yet. I had lots on HD2. With HD2 I could easily pass through the day and still have about 10-20% battery left at night and this was on its anemic 1230mAh battery
I do realize the HD2 was rooted and was running CM7 and had all kinds of custom kernels and stuff. So is stock Sense and HTC kernel the culprit here ?
I've already ticked in the setting for Power efficiency under power settings which turns off auto sync (I have google and facebook sync same as I had on HD2) and using auto brightness with the least setting, but neither of them are helping
One thing I noticed in current widget log and current widget display, is the power drain in standby hardly goes below 100mA anytime ? According to me, this seems to be the issue hogging the battery as on HD2 it used to be <10mA most of the times with occasional spikes...but in Amaze every value is like more than 100mA. Does the faux kernel and custom ROMS helps with this, a lot ?
Ideally I should try it myself and see, but don't want to unlock the bootloader and stuff just yet as if the things are going to be like this, I may as well sell it and put in some more money and switch to other side (sgs2)
The other theory I have is the CPU on HD2 is single core 1GHZ while Amaze is dual core 1.5ghz. Gingerbread doesn't have proper dual core support so things will improve when ICS comes ?
Also on a side note, is there a problem with earphones having L shaped jack on Amaze ? My primary headphones monster turbine pro which have L shaped jack don't have a very good fit in it and small amount of force seems to disconnect the headset from phone. Its really annoying, although my other earphones which have a straight pin don't have this issue. But its not the earphone problem either as I don't have this issue with turbine's in my mp3 player and HD2 ?
The stock battery was horrific for me so I bought the Anker 1900mah battery from ebay and It's far better than stock...I'm at 15 hours with 47% left...Tasker is helping a lil also.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Hmmm didn't think i would have to upgrade the battery just after buying it, although seems something wrong is with the battery though...maybe HTC just bloated its spec to 1730
Yea, I have advanced task manager with auto-kill, but its really the same with it or without..

Try letting the battery discharge completely until phone turns off, and then plug it up and let it charge to 100% without unplugging it.
My stock battery last 12-16hrs depending on use. I also have an Anker 1900mAH last a good 18-20 if I charge it inside the phone. If I charge it with the Anker charger it last about 8hrs.
Guys what about the current widget numbers ? Have anyone of you got it or can get it to see how is the drain like for you guys?
No matter how strong the battery, if its going to [email protected], it won't last very long. 18-19 hrs on after market 1900mAh battery isn't very impressive figure either
I'm not quite sure of this drain, is the fast 4g on Amaze the culprit just like LTE
Also let me know if you guys have stock or custom ROM ?

i assume youre talking about cell standby? you WANT this number to be high on the list
You should use a battery saving app like juice defender or battery fu.
Personally, I use battery fu and I have gotten more than 20 hours of battery, on stock battery, running on stock phone, unrooted.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
I havent had any battery life issues with mine. Before rooting I could go the whole day on a charge but it would be close to dead around 10PM. I'm still getting used to the new ROM I flashed but battery life has definitely improved.
I would recommend opening the task manager and killing off some unneeded apps.

Using task managers to kill an app that you don't want running isn't bad, I think its the continuely killing all apps every 30 minutes that makes it worse.

I'm not sure why this should be high
It should be low ? A high number would mean its losing more power during standby...
Guys, There are 2 school of thoughts about task manager...I agree task manager may consume more battery if you look into the theory how android works...but I've tried with and without task manager it doesn't make much of a difference from what I observed
Also what about L shaped jack earphone issue? Is it fine for everyone else?
I have the same issue my battery lasts 6-8 hours MAX with intermediate use....juice defender, tried every rom and different kernels.
My brother Easily gets 16-18 hours with intermediate use (galaxy s2) same processor. I know his battery is a little bigger but I didn't think his battery life would triple mine -__-

Hi Glacier,
Thanks for the update That seems reassuring...
I've been researching on Amaze battery quite a lot, I think current widget numbers are misleading because even in Airport mode it shows more than 100mAh drain, which is not possible..
I've found out another app...My battery drain analyzer written by a fellow member here at XDA
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain
It basically calculates the drain rate in %/hr, basically measures how much time does it take for battery to take 1% dip...
I've found for my amaze its close to 1.6-3%/Hr when in standby, when phone is not woken up during the period...I think its on a higher side but acceptable still...Can any member with a custom ROM/kernel also report his/her number..
BTW I've seen the numbers on TMO SGSII in their forum, this number is roughly the same there too ~ 2%/per hour for most users...
My rezound is rooted. I am on clean rom 4.5 with the 3.13 kernel. Everything runs very smoothly and just how I like it.
I also have the OEM HTC extended battery in my phone and my battery life is still bad. It doesn't get through a day.
Am I missing something here? Maybe a bad setup? Any suggestions? Comments will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.

How much are you using it? The screen seems to be a big drain on our Rezound.
I'm at 55% 12 hours into the day with the stock battery. Usage has only been a few calls, some FB, Tapatalk, google finance checks and several times into gmail but WiFi has been on all day except when driving for about 1hr (with 3g and bluetooth turned on).
Just went s-off and installed CR4.5 yesterday.

As jazzy said 4g is really hard on the battery too. Google 'Extremetech 4g' to read their article to understand why. It's more to do with how 4g networks are configured than with the actual phones.

Is there a script to flash in order to recalibrate your battery? I know there are some apps. I've tried a few and I didn't notice much of a difference.

there's no such scripts. battery calibration isn't visible regardless of a script, app, recovery or charging to full capacity
Did acquiring a larger battery solve your problem, or did you opt for a ROM to aid you?

Getting a bigger battery did solve my problem somewhat. I think I will be switching back to GB for a while to see if there is any difference. I will definitely keep you guys posted. Also my battery now lasts about a day. Depends on my usage. But it does last a decent amount. Wish it could go more than a day.

I actually was underclocked to 540mhz because I don't need 1.5ghz to browse the web. That test was mainly to prove good battery life is possible if you really need it sometimes. Todays results week be more real world use. I never run my phone like that. But I know I will still get good battery life with higher clock,4g, and bright screen

I think you're right about that.
Last Friday, I switched from the setup in my sig to the newer innefilibis v1.0 ICS ROM & my battery life seems to have dropped quite noticebly. I set up the new ROM with the EXACT same apps etc as the old one to get a fair comparison.
I do a lot of audio streaming at work which is really hard on battery life, but with the 2750 extended battery I do make it through a full day at work. Now, today my battery dropped to 50% charge in only a couple hours use & I only turned the screen on briefly to text a couple times........
Go to the phone menu and set it to LTE mode (w/voice) will use less because there is no 3g connection running at the same time.

There is a script to recalibrate the battery. I looked inside the script, and it just wipes battery stats, so you don't have to do it inside Recovery. However, the apps that wipe stats on the Market do the exact same thing as the script.
I personally am S-Off with the latest leaked RUU. I am on the latest CleanROM DE ICS with the OEM extended battery. I get great battery life. If I wasn't using my phone much, I'd easily make it through two days. The way it is now, I get moderate to heavy use and easily make it through a single day.
I don't run live wallpapers, I keep the widgets to a minimum, I only use Gmail for email, no Social networking services are active, and I have some system apps frozen.
I do have a crapton of apps installed, but very few that have notifications. I remember back when K-9 Mail was eating up battery like crazy. Look for culprit apps like that, there is usually something.
Honestly, coming off my old OG Droid Incredible, anything more that 4 hours of battery impresses me. I am an -extremely- heavy user. 4G, auto brightness, lots of web browsing and games, and my battery temperature often hits 115-120 degrees fahrenheit when gaming. I can pull 4-6 hours on a stock 3.8v or 3.7v battery. I have a second battery and a charge cradle, as well as a 1 amp car charger. I find I'm never away from a power source for longer than that. Further, I just bought a 5000mah battery pack to emergency charge all my gadgets. My recommendation is to drop $50 on a second battery and charge cradle. Battery becomes irrelevant.

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.

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.

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.

There are quite a few good ones out there. I like juice defender and greenify. I don't really use them now though. The htc one battery does a good job without slowing down the phone.
I never use battery apps ever, but coming to a phone that gets about an hour and a half less screen time, I tried this out for about a week and a half. It did nothing..... I mean literally nothing. Averaged the exact same everything. The only thing that changed was I had an icon in the notification bar. Its not even worth the wait while it's learning..... Apparently to do nothing.
I think this apps actual purpose is to advertise for their processors.

No, I would just wait. Your can remove the icon from the bar. You should look before you an post (not trying to start a war) give it some time. I have gained a few hours, or maybe my phone is just working better.

BatteryGuru does work a little bit. I used it on my atrix. However what this guy just said.
Turn on power saver and only check underclock CPU and lower screen brightness (HTC one screen is too bright) and you're golden. Haven't noticed a difference in performance from the lower cpu speeds at all. Quad core ftw I guess.

Its funny how people always use screen time as a way to judge battey life. Theres more to it than that. Gaming, streaming and watching movies will definitely drain the battery quicker. Im not a power user and was very skeptical about the battery on the HTC One when I purchased it. So far, my battery lasted me throughout the day most days. Its true however that HTC is known to have smaller batteries.

Yeah. This is a small battery, I tried guru on the one and it didn't seem to make any change at all, if you out everything into super power save mode it works but then nothing ever updates. Kinda ruined my experience.
Underclocking cpu and lowering screen brightness through power saver is by far the easiest and best way for saving b life without ruining user experience (IMHO)

I didn't think id like it but I turned power saver on with justlower screen brightness and lower cpu power and I have to say this thing still flies.... No lag at all and even the lowered screen brightness is still to bright imo so I leave it on all the time helps a lot. It takes the battery and phone about a week to break in and learn percentages anyway so don't be discouraged about batt life on the first couple days. Plus we use new devices more which makes a difference. I had a couple other things not perfect at first on my phone like agps not working but after a few charges and reboots it's working great better than my one s with any rom I've ever used.

No, I would just wait. Your can remove the icon from the bar. You should look before you an post (not trying to start a war) give it some time. I have gained a few hours, or maybe my phone is just working better.
The point is to save battery life with losing fluidity

I did look.... I don't give a crap if you can turn it off. This app has been around for a while.... I tried one my OneX just for a haha when it came onto the market..... It did nothing on that phone either. If you are gaining power from this app.... Its because the app is doing what I have been doing manually since using Android phones. These battery apps are built for lazy people who refuse to remember to turn crap off they ain't using.

Screen on time is one of the best ways to judge battery life. If you can get an hour of talk time, texting like mad and get 4 1/2 hours of screen time....video, reading, etc...... That's a bad ass battery.
Phone that's been on for 35 hours with 1 hour of screen time is quite simply a phone that is not used much.

I don't think you understood what I meant. I meant to say comparing screen times on a device that played intensive gaming vs the screen time on a device that was used to browse the web and text. Both screens are on but the one playing game is likely to chew up battery faster due to the cpu running more aggressive. So basically all these screen times that people post aren't really helping unless they're accurately stating what was it used for. Wifi vs 4G LTE plays a factor also. All in all, it's likely everyone uses their phones for different things so battery life will be judge differently.

I actually used this app when I had the Nexus, and I HATE battery saver apps like Bullsh.. I mean Juice Defender. The fact that Qualcomm is putting it out for their own chips tells me it's worth a shot.

I understand where your coming from, and you're not wrong. My only point is that phones that can sustain, what I would consider excessive screen on, would naturally stand up better to whatever you throw at it.
Having said that, my OneX would get 5 and a half hours screen on with texting, reading, XDA app all day, YouTube, etc. Sure I could easily kill the battery playing crazy graphics games in 2 and a half hours..... Most phones that are only averaging 3-4 hours of screen time are not going to be able to get 2 1/2 hours of play time doing anything else. My OneX battery kills this One. I wouldn't necessarily say I am a power user.... But I have been known to put a beating on mine pretty regularly.
