Title = Short version lol
Longer Version:
I got my Hero no more than 3 days ago, and the first time I ever looked at the awake percentage it said 75%. I then updated my phone to 1.56.651.2 and now it is at 100%. I have been looking since last night on how to retain my battery life and make sure my awake percentage is below 100% even by 1% i still feel like id be doing something right, but im not. I have done everything in your guide besides for turning off my GPS... Lets just say there are a lot of thieves where I come from and I need that for my family locator. Yes I do have Handcent for that message issue but that didnt lower any percentage at all.
If it helps, here is a list of all the third-party applications I have installed on my phone now. With their versions.
Applications: (in alphabetical order)
Here is a list of my settings:
Personalization
Wireless controls
Call settings
Sound & display
Data synchronization
Location
Security
Social network
Applications
Date & time
Locale & text
I figured id just give you as much details as possible if i want help as fast. I guess now ill show you a list of widgets on my screen? idk if that runs the battery down at all but here it goes.
Home Screen
1st left screen
2nd left screen
3rd left screen
none
1st right screen
2nd right screen
3rd right screen
none
Also, my weather widget has Update auto off just so ya know.
Anywho, that is everything I can think off. Idk why it is STILL 100% but everything i have done didnt drop awake by even 1%. I have even changed all settings, restarted the phone, and nothing happened. Do I need to do a hard reset? if i do, how do i do that and what happens when i do? Does that require me setting the phone back to factory defaults?
Any help will be appreciated. I love this phone, and android OS. I kinda wish I can just get rid of everything that is HTC Sense UI and just update my android version but ya know how HTC is lol. And sprint loves to add their apps too so thats also annoying.
Please help
EDIT: also the reason I am posting this is because tonight I went out to a movie and my phone was at full battery and on lock screen the entire night. It died in my pocket within 2 hours of the movie. And i had it on charge the entire night before movies. So I REALLY need this to work, or ill just have to take the phone back
