Default [Q] Battery issue on Wildfire S

Hi,

after running for 15 hours, one phone call for 2 min, and about 8 sms
and nothing more still remain 45% from 100%.
is that normal or it is something wrong?
wifi, gps, and bluetooth are off, and not many apps are working in background.
no livebackground or something else.

it seems to me, it is very less for such a phone, or I am wrong?
or are there some settings, which need to set to have a longer battery live?

thanks

I too am seeing that the dialler is using 97% of battery with only one short call made. However, I have so far and still counting got 3d 18h out of my first battery charge. (This is a new phone) This is with everything turned off mind you as I wanted to see the best time achievable with only phone functions active. Once the battery is run down I will re-charge and turn internet on etc.

It's funny that you too have "97%"??

Hey i think you people don't know how the battery use calculate the battery usage in Android.

This is how it calculate

Suppose you had power on the phone then and you are using 3 apps like
1.dialer
2.wifi
3.display

then from above 3 which is the most used app the battery usage will give it more percentage.(But you will not see any 97 % if you are using 5-6 activities)The more the number of apps the less the percentage of each Activity.

The region why you are seeing 97% on battery usage about dialer is that you are using only dialer nothing else.If You use use gallary,wifi,bluetooth,calls,maps etc all together then battery usage will show you 15 to 20 % in each.

To increase battery life calibrate you battery.(let the battery discharge once and recharge it without power on and without any break)

In this forum i had seen that some are geting 4 days of battery with moderate usage and some getting only 1 day.You Had not calibrated your battery.Every Android mobile needs battery calibration atleast once in 1 month.

could be a bug with the sense causing the battery life to be short. I usually let my phone discharge every day before I charge it for the next day. As I am usually using my phone every day the battery usually lats a day at the maximum this is usually because i am always listening to music or texting people.

now I have again this situation.

I did nothing with the phone. just one call for 2 min and 2 text, thats it.

dialer 95%
cell standby 3%
phone idle 3%

so then it is wrong to have the dialer on 95% right?

that's not possible.Battery use limits to 100 % not 101%. 95+3+3 = 101.And in your first post 41+29+28+2+2 = 102.How it can be possible .

Also check is your connection is 3g or 2g.You get your battery life according to it.

.... I know, but it is fact
I was surprised too....)

I will search for a screenshot tool, and I will post it soon....
by the way, I check it with Advanced Task Manager, maybe this tool is wrong?
I use 2G only. I wouldn't be suprised if bluetooth and wlan would be on, and after a work day the battery is empty, but for one call and 2 text?

as for now, the Task Manager and a File Manager is installed, the rest is all on default.

thanks
