Battery Life

[raid]

Can you post your usage and your battery life ?

Just as DUKE09 posted in the past in the Elf forum, I'm reporting the information needed to understand our usage:


- Things that you made with touch (gaming, video,gsm, music etc.) + how long? (hour plz)

- Whether if you switch off your touch at nights or not?

- Fully discharge and charge ?

- Total time to reach at zero level ? (touch turns itself off)

- Settings for HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\ Resuming\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\Default
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\ Suspend\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\Default
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\ Unattended\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\Default

- Background applications

- Band (GSM or 3g)

- BT ON or Off

Mine are:

- No gaming no video or media, 1h30min phone call per day, 5 sms, plus Active sync via BT
- Charged during the night
- No full Discharge
- Dunno when it will be completly discharged (i need it for work)
- Registry settings all three configured with Default = 3 (my BT headset never disconnects even if the dual is in standby), I've played a little bit with those parameters and i found that with Default = 4 my battery drains really fast.
- Sometimes I use PocketCM and FullScreenKeyboard, both in background
- Disabled 3g, via Band menu in the Phone Settings (setting Band to GSM) and HKLM\Software\OEM\UMTS\OpMode configured to 1.
- BT always on

With those settings at the end of the day my Dual is at 60-65%

Please post your comments here !

Thanks in advance,
Raid.

You certainly doing better then me! my Dual at the end of a working day is at measly 30-40%:( but then again I do have it on set 3g all day, listen to about 90 min of music via bluetooth headset and surf the web for about an hour as have unlimited data plan with 3;)

Hhmmm!!! I going to try your power management reg tweak, I'll let you know if it makes any difference, if does nice find Raid!!

[starlety]

Fully charge in the morning, turn on Bluetooth 24 hours, MSN for 2 hours using 3.5G, Web browsing using 3.5G half an hour, talk on phone average of 15 mins at the end of date left 30 percent.

[raid]

@gfreek
I think that the default setting is "3" for all power parameters.
I've modified those to "4" due to random disconnects of my old Nokia BT Headset (maybe is not compatible). But then I've found that the problem was the BT headset and not the Dual, and I've switched back to "3" due to an heavy battery drain. I dunno if your ROM has "3" by default.

Looking at the first two posts I think that using the Dual in a "normal way" for that kind of device, we have to charge it at the end of the day....no chances...

Has the Touch Elf a better battery life ?

Regards,
Raid.

[NetrunnerAT]

I have Qtek 8500, Qtek S200, HTC 710, HTC Touch Dual ... all Device have simulare batterie drain!! I think ... HTC Touch Elf too. Only resone why i think Touch Elf is in the moment batterie friendlyer ... you can install a CPU Scaler to save your batterie. I use all Device in the always online mode (need Exchange Sync or Blackberry ... both are simulare in Batterie drain!)

[gfreek]

Hi raid, I can confirm my dual default for all three was set to 4, I've now set it 3 like yours, let see if makes a difference on mine.

[raid]

Ok gfreek ! I'm waiting for the results !

[gfreek]

ok raid here's my findings with this tweak:

BEFORE:
Battery Level after a working day = 30-40%
(based on the below settings/usage)

AFTER:
Battery Level after a working day = 50-55%
(based on the below settings/usage)

Settings/Usage:
Band - 3G
Web - 1 hour day
Music via BT Headsets - 90min
Calls - about 20-30min

So as you can see raid this little reg tweak does have an overall effect on battery level! Just curious raid did you try setting yours to 2 or 1 on these registry? did they any more difference? or should I just stick to 3.

[PseudoReal]

those registry settings, what are they doing?!

Did you guys notice any instability afterwards?

[raid]

I didn't try to set them to 1 or 2.

Referring to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273990&highlight=keep+wifi+standby+bluetooth+Power
I think that with 1 or 2 we get more power consumption...

The strange thing is that with "4" BT should be off during the standby, instead we just get battery drains faster !!

Maybe the power states are different on the Dual ?

Many thanks gfreek !!

Please, if any other can confirm what we have tested, it will be much appreciated...

[deepje]

Settings work for me. Went from 25% left end of day to 60% left.

Also this helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305332

Anyone more tips ?

[raid]

Admins, I think this thread should be a sticky !!!

Please ANY DUAL OWNER, try those power registry settings !!!
Just to have more feedbacks....

Many thanks to gfreek and steven !

[gfreek]

Hi guys I have tested this and found a nice little increase in battery life on top of the reg tweak Raid posted here! You're likely get 10-15% increase on battery life with this tweak, it may not seem like much but a power user like me, it does make a difference;)

With the combination of these reg tweaks settings at the end of a working day my Dual is at 65%-70% before it was 30% - 40%

Settings/Usage:
Band - 3G
Web - 1 hour day
Music via BT Headsets - 90min
Calls - about 20-30min

P.S. Raid Since I flashed to HTCAsia WEE ROM, to maintain long battery life, I have had to revert to 4 instead of 3 (that I had on my previous Orange UK ROM) on the the following reg tweaks you posted on this thread: -
Settings for HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\ Resuming\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\Default

Do you know what is PPTP or L2TP???

Why you think, it can helps to save Power?

PPTP and L2TP is a Tunneling Protokol! You only need them, if you open a VPN Tunnel to a Privat Network. If you change settings and you doesnt use the buildin VPN functions, you will save what??? Nothing ... yes ... nothing is the only right answer!

If some guys want realy check his power consuming ... please use a Amp Meter and a Datalocker for long time messurments!

Next ... if some guys change here Radio Rom ... possible they save Power! What Radio Version was in his Dual???

This are importent questions!

Sorry for my bad English but this tweaks are pure nonsens!!!

LOL! NetrunnerAT I can see you are very opinionated person! FYI yes I do know what PPTP and L2TP are!!!! what part you don't understand when I said I TESTED these tweaks, in fact tested it over week with and without the reg tweak just to make sure they really did make a difference, I know on paper these tweak should not make a blind bit of difference but they did!! maybe I've got a very special dual:p MY PRECIOUS!!!!

[NetrunnerAT]

Realy???

Very Strange ... for Windows CE 5.0 you can buy a Technical Document for the Registry Hives. They are simulare. It say ... if you Open a Tunnel, you can disable the Powermanagement. The reason is easy ... VPN Tunnel need a up and running connection. If your device close it, for saveing power ... the session keys are invalid. New IKE exchange is needed!! A normal Handy doesnt use it!

Italian touch dual:

before:30% at the end of the day

after:40% at the end of the day(i obviously tried the mod for several days to avoid casual alteration due to a different usage of the device)

1hr phone
.5hr web
some casual gaming/mp3/movie

2g/3g auto select, so it eventually switch when there's 3g coverage

usually recharge when batttery approximately goes to 10%

BT always on


now, could anyone kindly explain what these registry mods really do??
i haven't noticed any issue till now.

[snudel]

same for me
i have abt 10% more battery.

i realized, that bluetooth really sucks battery. If I disable bt i have 60-70% left at the end of the day. with bluetooth 30-40%.

butr isn't that a shame? a new battery which I have to charge every day? what do i have to do in 6 month? charge it three times a day?

as have unlimited data plan with 3;)

OT: is it X series or something else? because here in Italy Touch Dual is not really supported by h3g and as a mattr of fact I can only use www3 because no other application is available (i.e. skype, yahoo, ebay).
Besides the problem is that if I use the mobile version of Skype not specifically built for h3g I have to pay the internet traffic even if I have subscribed the X Series...:(:(

Don't know what tariff's 3 have in Italy but over here with 3 UK you only need to pay £5 unlimited Internet add onto any of their tariff's;)

I think we are talking about the same thing...but what I do not understand is if you can only surf the web using 3www or you have also some other application available for your wm6 phone (such as skype)


I have changed the registry as posted..I hope this will reduce the battery consumption...now it really sucks (coming from a w950i)

No I don't have skype, I can surf either with ie or opera no need to use the 3 portal if thats what you mean!

ok thanks for the info:)


I confirm that these settings reduce the battery consumption..or at least this is what has happened with my phone.

at the end of the day battery has at least 20% more left ...
registry keys before changing them were all set on 4 and I changed them to 3.

[00se7en]

Definitely worse battery life than my old SPV C600, but worth it for added functionality.

Phone left on overnight from full charge ~midnight
Checking POP email every 10 mins
3G/HSPDA enabled
1 hour of TomTom 6 w. bluetooth GPS on drive to client
2 mins of voice calls
30 mins web browsing
5 SMS
5/6 hours of music on pocket-player 3.51

Battery down to 10% within 21 hours.

Have tried both sets of registry edits described on this thread - let's see what happens.

[raid]

Thanks to who has verified those settings...

I'm happy with those parameters configured to "3" now, doesn't matter what others think ! :)

[00se7en]

MP3 playback really seems to hammer the battery on this device.

If I start out at 8am, I'm down to 75% by lunchtime. That's with 3G disabled, all the above registry tweaks (including connection time-out at 30seconds) and no voice calls - using WMP at 40% volume with the screen turned off as well as the backlight.

My old Tornado smartphone (orange SPV C600) would last all day and not use that much battery - makes me think something is amiss.

Using Pocketplayer instead makes no difference - if anything it's worse!

[airbox]

Just got my Touch Dual a few days ago and I cant even get more than half a day out of it !!!

Shame cos I really love this phone...

Sprry for being dumb but where do i do to change all these settings I cant dind them anywhere ...?

[panosp]

A big thank you to gfreek and his post of 10.1.2008.

I have a Telstra Touch Dual 850 and out of the box the battery lasted 5 hours maximum. I replaced the battery as I was assured by HTC it was faulty (which it was). After replacing I was then able to achieve 14 hours battery life, still not enough however. I was using a Blackberry Pearl and 2 days battery was easy.

I then made the registry changes suggested by gfreek in his post and then altered the wireless Activesync schedule to check our Exchange Server every 10 minutes during peak hours (5am to 8 pm Mon-Sat) then every 2 hours off peak (nights and Sunday).

The results were amazing. After an overnight charge the Touch Dual has 50% battery life remaining after 24 hours use. I'm a business user and my usage varies daily however BT is on all the time for use with my car kit. After 36 hours I have 20% battery left. VERY IMPRESSIVE results now. The 10 minute delay in syncing over the air allows the Server to deal with spam at the server level and so reduce traffic and power consumption to the HTC enormously.

I will probably keep the Touch Dual for a while. The Blackberry seems too primitive once you get used to WM6 with SPB Mobile Shell user interface.

[zkyevolved]

Lol. I'm still waiting for my HTC Dual to come, but I've had 3 blackberries and now i'm changing because I can't pay that much more for BB's! So I'm actually very excited. On my curve I'd get through the day with about 4 hours of texting (nonstop) and vibrating like mad (cuz of the texting), and I'd get through the day at 40%, on a weekend I'd get home at midnight at 10%, but my pearl lasted ... 4-6 hours. :) I killed that mofo in 5 hours flat with my normal usage. hehe. I'm looking forward to seeing if I'm going to need an extended battery for my Touch Dual! :D hehe.

I suspect it is the activesync settings that have the biggest effect. If you set activesync to receive items when available, i.e. true push mail, it saps the battery big time. Personally, i set mine to 2hrs peak and 4 hrs off peak which is a reasonable compromise. It is easy enough to perform a spot manual sync in between if necessary.

[zkyevolved]

Hi! I just got my HTC Touch dual and I love it. It lasted 5 hours... THat's not normal, but could it be normal for a first charge? Also, I'd love to do these mods, but what do you use to get to the registry (any specific program?) and also, these settings change how often it's synced? Is there a way to specify how often it gets my e-mail? I had a BB Curve and it would last 2 days double the use I use on my HTC Touch today. But I'm thinking it could be the first day jitters on the battery's behalf? Any ideas? Also, if you could explain what these mods do! I'd really appreciate that!

Hi guys I have tested this and found a nice little increase in battery life on top of the reg tweak Raid posted here! You're likely get 10-15% increase on battery life with this tweak, it may not seem like much but a power user like me, it does make a difference;)

With the combination of these reg tweaks settings at the end of a working day my Dual is at 65%-70% before it was 30% - 40%

Settings/Usage:
Band - 3G
Web - 1 hour day
Music via BT Headsets - 90min

Hey well, I'm not sure if it's the configuration or turning off 3.5g, but so far i've got 12 hours in on it, without charging it, and with about 1 hour on 3.5g, and I've got 27% battery left :).

Does anyone have an extended battery?
Seido makes a 1500 battery that fits in without a new back, or would anyone recommend getting a 2200 or 2400 mAh battery with a new back? Can anyone give some advice or personal opinions? :)

Ebay: new 2200 or 2400 is less than 10 dollars
Seido battery: 45 dollars.

Funny :).

Before you all go out and buy batteries maybe you could flash the WWE ASIA rom first. That'll set you up properly on battery life. Not to mention the much more pleasant use of the unit.

Lol. But see, that doesn't solve any problems! It just evades the problems. I can't live without Data. I can live with GPRS instead of 3G but I need to have my emails, internet explorer and such. hehe. These past few days on a normal battery charge, with it's OEM battery, with GPRS, I finished the day with about 40-70%, depending on the day. Today i'll have a cellphone data intensive day, so we'll see how that goes :).

Today i'll have a cellphone data intensive day, so we'll see how that goes :).

I arrived home about 3:00 pm and the battery was at 40%, ... I'm upset... I plugged in my 2400mah battery. But i don't like the size of it. So I might just buy 2x1400 mah batteries and carry one in my pocket, bag, or w/e. Suggestions?
