Just bought my Desire 816 dual sim, but.....

iamwyim · Apr 29, 2014

Hi all:

I have just purchased my desire 816 dual sim last saturday! However, I have found that the battery drain is quite significant! I didn't use the phone often. Just using FB and web surfing for 10 minutes and leave it for another 36 minutes alone, but the battery drops by 6%!!!! I have turned on the ART mode and battery save mode, but it doesn't help much!

Anyone has the same experience as I have?

Hello,
The battery life on this phone is pretty amazing, the 2,600mAh battery does work well.
I guess your problem can be with the network reception.
If you use 3G and aren't getting proper signals, the phone strives hard to search for a better signal, and hence in that case, that keeps the processor awake, and it leads in the mre consumption of battery than usual.

I would recommend you to switch to 2G mode, or Wi-Fi if possible. And then observe for sometime. If ever your problem isn't solved after trying what I wrote above, try uninstalling any 3rd party apps that you think are useless, (Not 100% sure about this, because Android does manage it's apps well, and there are very less chances of battery drain through an app) or you can then try to let the HTC Service guys know your issue, and I hope they do something for you.

Good luck.

Force Stop Google+.. its a battery killer

Battery of my wifez Butterfly was also draining in 3 to 4 hours time without usage & same happened to my 816 after adding another Google account

After force stopping Google +, battery life is normal

Please do the following

Press and hold the power button then you will get this 4 options to power off and reboot

Now touch n hold the power off n u shall get an option to reboot in safe mode

Reboot the phone in safe mode and observe the battery if it's fine then it's the apps that u have installed if not then you need to visit a service center

Press thank button if helped

htc desire battery draining superfast

Can someone give me a solution to two problems:

1. I bought HTC desire 816 dual SIM two days back and it's battery is draining super fast. Within a couple of hours battery goes to 50 percent whereas I am not into gaming etc. Very average usage. I read good reviews about the battery life and bought this phone . Can someone help? Is this a defective piece?

2. If I have disabled an app, and then enabled it, where do I see the shortcut from. For example polaris. I disabled and enabled it. Now when I search in settings< apps it shows but I can't find it in the apps menu. How do I use it again?

Thanks
