[Q] Battery life of wildfire s

---

Hey i am planing to buy wildfire s please provide me some cons and battery statistics .

how is the battery life ?
Does it last for 2 days with moderate calls ,music and sms

How is the music quality and loudness.

Please reply ASAP

Thanks in advance.I appreciate every reply

I have just got a new Wildfire S and on its first charge I have so far got 4 days 8 hours. The battery meter is now on 2 bars.

However, to test maximum battery life I have turned of internet services so I just running the Widlfire as a phone (believe it or not). I have only made a couple of calls and used sms a few times.

I haven't listened to music but I'm guessing this would seriously eat in to the 4 days I've achieved so far.

For £200 the phone is great, for me it's an ideal size and has the latest Android. I imagine it will do most things the larger phones (HTC Desire) will do just a little slower.

Battery life.

The battery life for mine seams to be around 1- 1.5 Days. However, it was used before I received it, so the battery may be degraded.
Also, I am constantly connected to wifi and using it for facebook and emails etc, and occasionally Music and games.
I use a auto brightness instead of lower brightness settings and I use a live wallpaper and no battery juice saving apps.
I also use Link2SD and have about 45 apps installed whereas less than half eat up juice by monitoring bandwidth usage etc.
This is with the stock ROM Ginger Bread 2.3.3 that came with my HTC wildfire S. It is rooted via CWM.

I purchased a new battery which is taking forever to arrive.
I will test out this new battery with the same setup as shown above and with a power saving setup and will post my results here.
I will also test out other roms, that way You will have a general idea of the battery life.

There are many techniques to save your battery from degrading overtime and it is worth looking into.
For those battery freaks out there, you may be interested in knowing that there is a larger battery that is compatible with this phone which comes with a bigger back plate. (suppose to last up to 3x longer).


As for speaker quality, I have had no problems at all listening in a variety of places. Works best laying flat on a flat surface. curvature of phone and camera lens allows the speaker hole to not be covered and lets out sound at an acceptable loudness.
Note: if you cover the speaker hole completely, (with your finger for example) the loudness is greatly reduced and sounds muffled.

its an alright phone. when I first bought it I turned everything off and used it as a watch pretty much for work, it would last the whole shift with very minimum drain, however when I use it heavily...it would last about an hour. maybe a little more. the main con for me for this phone now is the armv6 processor which for most people probably isn't a big deal. they were discontinued with my carrier here in america but at the end of their lifespan they were about $50 I don't know the conversion really. its a good phone I had it for a year, just I needed something a little stronger, as I am a very heavy user.

edit: I never used any power saver apps or anything like that either. if that helps at all.

I do not understand the reasoning behind your statement. Rooting your phone does NOT have any affect on battery life.

Like they all say "IT DEPENDS ON YOUR USAGE". If you have activated 3G services and most of the time you are traveling , then of course the battery hardly last a day. For me, it used to last a day under 'above moderate usage' . I will be mostly online either by data connection or Wi-Fi (Online doesn't mean that am always surfing and stuff. The phone will check in to some apps in a fixed interval . eg : facebook, gmail and stuff like that) .
You have asked about music quality, its pretty good for this price. I mean, you don't expect BEATS BOMB BASS and all in this , do you? I like the headphones that they have provided. it doesn't have a rubber flap on it which makes it very convenient to listen to music for hours (without causing headache :P )

If with moderate calls, msgs and music the battery could last around one and a half days. Just make sure to keep the brightness low since display is the main villain that drains the battery. Also, keep the Sync OFF unless you want to to be ON. Overall, i think it meets the expectation with this tiny 1250MaH battery.

EDIT :: Some say that this gives u an extra boost

My friend , i disagree. I have used some ROMs that has given better battery life than the Stock ROM especially those with that tweaks in the build.prop.

Well said. And simply rooting the phone, and doing nothing will not effect battery life. However its what u do once ur rooted that does. Depending on what roms, apps and config u set up, u can lose or gain battery life. Kinda obvious, but just wanted to be clear for all the noobies.
