HTC Inspire Battery Experiences...

[AndreaCristiano]

There is absolutely no way you guys got the same quality of battery as me. I have BARELY used my phone today.

I have screen at 20%, wifi is off, blue tooth is off, data syncing has only been turned on twice today. I am at 8 hours and have 40% of my battery left....

I DID NOT EVEN TAKE MY PHONE OFF THE CHARGER TILL ALMOST 3:00 TODAY...

You are at almost 14 hours of pretty heavy usages and EVERYTHING RUNNING while i am at 8 hours of light usage with almost NOTHING running and we have the same battery life left??

This almost confirms my suspicion that a batch was sent out with lemon batteries...

it could be I got two batteries in my box by accident lol Heres a suggestion let your battery drain to less than 20% shut it off tonight and charge it over night off. Then tomorrow am take it off the charger and use it REGULARLY use wifi let the phone sync all day etc and see the difference.

I have been draining it down to about 2% every night and charging it all night since i bought it. The only thing i do different is i leave it on while its charging (its my alarm clock).

Leaving it on doesnt give it the same charge and going that low is only good once a month or so to recalibrate the cells. If you do it every night the phone software and battery cells wont be able to "learn and adjust' to your usage. Once at 19-20% you should charge powered off!

OK update!

I let my phone get around 2% before charging last night. Turned off and charged to 100%. Unplugged at 7:00 am sharp. It's now 7:48 and my battery has drained 10%....

I checked emails, news feeds, friends stream, read about a chapter from the Art of War, and checked out some settings.

Can someone please confirm on how to set the display brightness.

Settings > Display > Brightness > I set it here but I don't have a percentage. It just gives me a bar to adjust.

At this rate I'm looking at a max of 9 to 10 hours out of my phone. I'm confused?

 

[snilloconator]

Update!

7:48am - 8:52am

Now at 84% only used 6% in the last hour.

Made a few phone calls, email, checked facebook, commented on fb, and took a pic.

I'm a little confused this morning. I downloaded batteryminder yesterday. When I was at 50% battery yesterday it told me I still had about 9 hours left on my phone (which I was obviously happy with). I made it till about 10 PM without even hitting the 15% low battery warning with really heavy use. This morning I am at 95% battery 1 hour 44 minutes after being unplugged. Batteryminder is now telling me that I have 5 hours and 39 minutes remaining with this charge. Are the configurations just off, because I haven't changed anything since yesterday?

Getting the same weird feedback.

 

[NOLAlove212]

Hmm weird. I guess we will see how long it actually lasts me. So far today I've been unplugged for 3 hours. Texting, a phone call, Facebook, word with friends, and this forum app and I'm at 88%. Not too bad but I know ill get more than 5 hours lol

 

[kstruck]

I am at 86% after being unplugged about 4 hours ago. ALthough it has been a very lite day of usuage. 1 call, and about 60 emails, 1 text, no browsing. Data sync is on so Twitter and facebook have been updating.

 

[snilloconator]

Unplugged for 5 hours now and I'm at...

47% Heavy use though. I set up wifi and browsing and etc...

 

[AndreaCristiano]

Battery minder has two settings one.which gives you feedback from your current and one which gives different feedback. I check the monetary one

 

[AndreaCristiano]

Two hours moderate use 96%

 

[NOLAlove212]

Two hours moderate use 96%

That's awesome feedback. Now I wish I would have cycled my battery correctly lol

Do it tonight. Start the cycling so you can improve

 

[NOLAlove212]

Should I do it to where I let the battery drain to dead for 3 days straight and then charge for 8 hours with the phone off?

Or should I do this other way that I read which was that you charge for 8 hours, turn off phone charge for another hour, use for 3-4 hours and then repeat.

 

[Blanco720]

I am to understand running these batteries completely dry is a no-no

 

[AndreaCristiano]

Use your phone till 20% is left. Shut your phone off and charge it to 100% I usually wait till night and leave it over night off

Thanks, I'll do that!

When you shut your phone off during charges overnight the phone.doesn't use any radios or data so the battery cell is.just charging. It's the same principal as not touching your phone while charging but with the added benefit of the phone using nothing at all

So you turn your phone off every night?

 

[Blanco720]

If you do, will the alarm wake the phone up? thats sort of a big deal to me lol

do you suggest doing this every time i charge or just once a week or so?

 

[AndreaCristiano]

I do I turn it off almost every night I have noticed the difference when I do or don't

 

[AndreaCristiano]

do you suggest doing this every time i charge or just once a week or so?

I usually do it every other night especially because by the time I get home from work I have 30-20%

 

[AndreaCristiano]

I don't know if there is a wake up button. I have my MAC turn on as my alarm. It would be cool if you could set it to turn itself on like my MAC automatically
