My battery is draining fast, awake time high, but nothing keeping it awake!

RaduG, thanks for quick response! I think for me have battery last for even 1.5 days or even 2 days after heavy use for 6 hr a day with internet, texting, fb, music would be awesome.

Is the spare part app only on certain branded hero's?

Battery was perfectly until last night - I even posted a separate thread a couple of days ago to say that overall performance was excellent due to making better use of Scenes.

Phone lost 30% charge in 7hrs while asleep. It then dropped 10% in 30 mins while I was checking a couple of settings etc. And I haven't even changed anything at all. It's jsut gone back into "I'm gonna start playing up" mode. Will see how it goes for the day and then do one more factory reset if need be - then send back to HTC if problem persists.

Have you tried using Spare Parts to check the "partial awake time"? If so, does Spare Parts account for all the awake time?

Just checked it now (after rebooting a couple of hours ago) - Android System is the main hogger with "total in all time" by a long way. But Mail surpasses this in "total since boot". Doesn't make sense because Exchange has hardly had to do anything.

Does that give any clues?

Cheers

In the time it took me to write my reply above (about 2 mins), it's dropped from 89% to 81%. WTF is that all about?

It's not included with any retail builds; it's a third-party app available from the Market.

I'd say 1h/day of internet, including social networks, market and browsing.Today i've made a test and it looks like the GPS drains the battery life like hell, 15% are gone after using it for 45minutes, with 3G data on(google maps). Though I love the accuracy of the GPS, it points exactly where I am.

Are you referring to GPS+Mobile network turned on or just GPS? I have the GPS turned on all the time but I think it is only used when an app requests a location pinpointing, or am I wrong?

Sorry for the noob question but I've looked everywhere I can think of on my phone. Where do I find the AWAKE time everyone is talking about?

Setting-> About Phone -> Status -> scroll allow the down and you will see up time and Awake time.

Thanks, I can' believe I missed that!!!

I have a 59% awake time. Im very new with any android device (4 days).. Can someone please tell me what that means? Ive lowered my brightness with an app, have a task manager and app killer, and spare parts to help with my end button which may not be relevant. Can anyone help me and give me advice to help my battery last longer? Seeing as i maybe get 6 hours on a full charge? Anything at all? GPS turned off, as well as WiFi and Bluetooth, well as far as i know with a Power Manager app.

Your phone can be idle or awake and so if an app is keeping the phone awake a lot of the time your battery life will decrease. 59% is pretty high, mine's on 7% at the moment. (Of course this is only significant if the phone has been running for a long period of time).

You can use the SpareParts app to see what's keeping the phone active. Open the app, go to battery history, then change the two bars to Partial Wake Usage and Total Since Boot. The apps at the top, with the biggest blue bars, are probably the culprit.

RandomHero1015 · Mar 9, 2010

Xtiro i did what you had said to do, and the top usage programs are the Android System, which looks like idk 8 percent, and then mail, messages, and dialer and everything else you cant even see how much has been used. They are all very low. Am i doing something wrong?

Xyro · Mar 9, 2010

No that sounds just like mine... I'm not sure what to suggest. In the About Phone screen pbp776 mentioned, how long has the phone been active? Maybe you've just been using it a lot of the time?

RandomHero1015 · Mar 9, 2010

I mean that could be it, maybe its the fact that im constantly texting and turning the phone off and on, well from sleep to on, but to me i just dont see the battery fying as fast as it does. I mean my old blackberry i could easily go a full day with 400+ texts a day if need be.

rre_za · Mar 9, 2010

i think i have the battery problem too

awake time is arround 30-40% sending 500 text messages every day with 1h of browsing internet with Edge i should charge my phone once per day...

My battery is draining fast, awake time high, but nothing keeping it awake!
