[Q] HD7 Mango & Battery

[Foxnov1990]

Good evening,

This is not just another "QQ my battery is bad" topic but I have searched without proper succes for my question so here goes.

Yes my battery sucks ever since I updated it to Mango.
Now people are suggesting to do all kinds of things like turning off the auto email receiving option every time one comes in and turning off Wifi etc..

Tried this without succes.

Then I see people suggesting a Hard Reset of the device, so I decided to go for that option (used the one where you press up - down + power on)

BUT my question now is, what to do after to improve your battery (like people suggested) cause you're left with 2 options.
- Restoring a previous backup from Zune
- Updating and installing every single thing over again (and with that configuring as well)

If you guys have tried either of these or know which is the best option (and please not just answers like "option B looks more plausible, thats the best!") please do share!
Cause honestly, unplugging for school at 7AM and dead battery at 6PM, and having opened apps for like an hour max (+ 1h music/zune) is just silly (dont even have Wifi / auto email sync / apps in background (except HTC hub) on)

Thanks in advance!

well i had the same problem too, i full charged my phone and when i removed it to look at the estimated time remaining it was 4 hours ..

so what i did was :
- go to settings --> background tasks --> advanced

check if one of the running application you recently installed .. i started uninstalling one by one .. every time i uninstall one of them i turn screen of wait 10 sec and open it again and look at the estimated time i found 1-2 hours increase .. keep doing it till you find which application consumes a lot of battery ( i think its due to bad code or something )

i hope it helps

Well it helps a bit gonna have to try that out unless someone comes up with a better solution for the time being.

So basically what you're saying is that its better to reset and let it update / install apps again and see if that helps (seeing I had 2 options after my reset rly; took the restore for the moment)
Although what I didnt really get is why to open background tasks, cause there is nothing but HTC HUB on in there, the rest is either off or just not in there as it doesnt support those tasks I assume.

Anyway thanks for that, hope more people have advice like that!
