Battery life and charging.

---

Just wanted to ask you guys, how your finding the battery life on this, i've have windows phone 7 on my htc hd2 for 3-4 days now. I barely get a days worth of charge out of it, without using the phone at all maybe 2-8 text messages a day.... 3g, mobile data, bluetooth and wifi all turned off until i actually need it.

Also am finding that the phone wont fully charge but only around about 75% then stops charging, anyone experiencing similar?

Was getting 4 days of battery life with windows 6.5, not complaining i understand its a different OS, just asking how other peoples battery has compared.

I doubt you can get 4 days battery life with whatever OS on HD2!

BTW, try out a solution from another thread of t1h5ta3, it may help:

time to get down and dirty and learn to navigate thru the android OS.
download and set up the android SDK

heres a newbie guide to adb in the nexus forum

for those less computer literate, you can use droid explorer to do alot of the stuff thru a GUI. it also will set up adb for you.

the code that you type in to remove the battery stats is

rm data/system/batterystats.bin

now to properly condition the battery.

turn off the phone, plug it in, preferably overnight.
boot the phone up while still pluged in.
delete the batterystats.bin file ether thru adb or terminal
drain the battery fully, untill it powers down. wait a min or two and reboot it to completely drain it.

congrats... your phone now knows corect voltage values for 100% and dead.


Remember: Flashing a new Android build erases the battery stats, and automaticly rebuilds them based on voltages it see's .

ie: you need to recondition after each flash to get max battery life.

i use the "battery life" widget by curvefish to show me temp, voltage etc.

thanks have tried that previously when i used to use android and it worked quite well, this seems to be a windows phone 7 issue not general though .

I achieved the 4 days battery with the most basic enegry rom, no sense UI, turned off 3g, data connection, bluetooth, wifi... made sure it apps are closed when not used and ever setting turned off when not used
