View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Proximity Alert And Battery Life
Mar 4, 2009I wrote a simple app that uses proximity alerts and after installing it on my G1 found that battery life have been halved at least. It's so bad that phone needs to be recharged mid-day or it completely dies by 9pm. There is no polling of any kind - just proximity alerts (3 of them). I tried with GPS turned off (using network triangulation for coarse GPS location) but battery life is still abysmal. Is there a general solution to improve battery life with proximity alerts or the whole GPS thing is a non-starter on G1s?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Notification - Alert When Battery Fully Charged
Nov 25, 2009Does anyone know of a way to have the Droid make an alert sound of your choice when the battery is fully charged? It would be awesome to hear when the battery is charged rather than have to keep checking visually at various intervals. I can't keep my hands off of the phone so I can get a little impatient during the charging process sometimes, I'd love to be able to "set it and forget it" until I hear the alert. If there isn't a way to do this, someone should figure out a way to make it so.

Jul 20, 2010The phone pops up an alert when the battery is fully charged, saying to unplug. First of all, is there a reason for doing so? (Is it bad to keep it plugged in once it's fully charged?) Also, is there a way to disable this or at least make it quiet (without having to silence the entire phone), so it does not wake me up?

General :: Read Android Power Off Screen (battery Charging Or Not)
Oct 28, 2013When the android device is powered off (shut down completely) and plugged in you can hit the power button briefly. This shows a battery with a certain part shaded in to presumably indicate how charged it is and I suppose if its charging or not. There are some dots below the battery. What do they show? There are 5 dots that progress from left to right (empty are area to full area), does this indicated that the battery is charging? Does the rate of progression indicate how fast its charging? Do the dots do something else if the battery is discharging? Is there are lighting bolt inside the battery if its charging?
I have searched and searched and never seen an explanation of this powered off screen, which are slightly different depending on devices (some have charge indicator (i.e., "90% charged") and some just have the dots, some have lightning bolt inside battery some do not).
something like this: [URL]

Aug 17, 2009Searched the forum for an existing thread, and couldn't believe there wasn't one on this subject! I didn't expect the battery life to be great, but it's worse than I'd hoped,Obviously, setting the screen brightness to minimum is one way. I've also tried to see if you can 'turn off' applications which may be running in the background, but can't find a way to do this. My previous Nokias allowed you to see what programs were running, and you could turn them off to save battery power. I know a selling point of the Hero is that you can switch to applications quickly without 'loading them up', but is this killing the battery?

Aug 9, 2010I have a black background, I keep the display settings at the lowest brightness settings, and I keep the screen off when I'm not using it, but my phone is dying after 8-10 hours if I don't use it very much and 4-5 hours if I use it regularly. Every time it indicates that it needs to be recharged, 65-80% of the power is going to the display. I...don't see how that can be.I'm using a Samsung Vibrant that I bought on July 30th.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSprint HTC Hero :: Conserving Battery Power?
Nov 14, 2009I am ISO methods to conserve battery power on my Sprint HTC Hero.
I posted this thread in the Applications Forum:
WiFi - On & Off - Toggle App? Which is the best one?
ISO of a WiFi Toggle Switch so that I can turn WiFi On and Off as to avoid wasting precious battery power when I don't need to be searching for a WiFi connection.
Having this always on uses more battery consumption.
Correct?
Also, when Apps check for updates every 30 minutes vs. 4 hours, this consumes more battery power.
Correct?
So, here are some thoughts I have to reduce batter power:
Facebook Widget
I have the Facebook App and downloaded as well as the Facebook Widget.
See this video for info on the Facebook App:
www. youtube. com/watch?v=KcCpmwzL4T4
(remove spaces, I don't want to embed video here)
Questions
The facebook widget is pretty cool. It instantly updates my friends status and there's a quick-add update status text box.
However, I had the settings to check for updates every 30 minutes. Reduced this to 4 hours, but that was pointless since 4 hours is such a long interval I wound up going directly to the main Feed Home page to see the status updates list.
Is adding the Facebook Widget consuming more battery power because it's always on the Scene page, always running, always checking for updates?
Would removing the Facebook Widget save battery power?
I could simply make a shortcut for the Facebook App and open it when I want to waste time on Facebook to see how vain, narcissistic, and attention-starved my friends and colleagues are.
So, my key question here is would removing the Facebook App and only opening the program when I need it save battery power?
Twitter App
There's two options to place on the Scene. One is just a simple text update box, the other actually has a feed.
I'm using the former. Hence, it's not updating feeds and it's only being used when I enter text and hit send update to Twitter.
Also, I think I have my settings set not to check for updates.
I assume that because I'm using the non-Live-Feed option Widget on my Scene, this is not constantly checking for updates, and hence, not consuming a lot of battery power?
Correct?
Instant Messaging Programs
I have the Google Talk App, an Instant Messenger App (which has AIM, Yahoo, and MSN), and I recently downloaded the Meebo App (which has all of this plus others, including Facebook chat).
Meebo IM v21 Application for Android | Communication
I assume that by not running my IM App, or my Meebo IM App, and turning this off, this will save battery power. Correct?
Or, is it only consuming more power when I receive an incoming message. I imagine that the Meebo App, being connected to so many IM services, including Facebook, might be consuming more.
So, not leaving this on 24/7 would probably use less battery power.
Correct?
GMail App and Mail App for IMAP/POP
I have my GMail App setup. I'm getting notified each time I have an email in my Gmail Inbox. I've created a label - Inbox2 - to skip the inbox - for messages I want to read, but don't want to be instantly notified of.
I've decided not to use the Mail App - Connecting my Fastmail IMAP account on my phone because I believe this would involve running a second Mail App constantly checking for inbound mail updates.
See my post on Email and Mobile here:
http://androidforums.com/android-tips-tricks/15153-email-advanced-android-use-gmail-google-apps-fastmail-mail-clients-etc.html
By using only the GMail App and not using the Mail App for IMAP/POP, this is probably consuming less battery power.
Correct?
Question
What other steps, tips and tricks, can be taken to consume less battery power on the Sprint HTC Hero?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSamsung Behold 2 :: Battery Power - Jump Ship
Dec 28, 2009I got the Behold 2 in the mail about four days ago, and it was working out pretty well for me. This was mostly because I'd previously been using an archaic piece of crap and hadn't had any experience with Android, so I was pretty blown away by the customization and yada yada yada. Touchwiz didn't even bother me because I've never seen Android without that UI. Then the battery issues started, which a few other people have obviously had judging by the threads on this forum. I was losing roughly 1% of battery power every 5 minutes without me even touching it, which is absolutely ridiculous. I followed the basic procedure and turned everything off, etc., and am recharging it now. So, waiting to see if it gets any better. But it seems like a hassle to have to constantly keep wifi disabled or to take all the widgets off the home screen......

Or do you have to install undervolt to do that? Also can you install both overvolt and undervolt at the same time? (not literally at the same time but have both kernals at once to get the most power and battery saving?)
