Had my Evo in Stand-by mode. It turned itself on (unknowingly to me) and my battery became extremely hot. Had to remove battery. Thought it was going to burst in flames. Waited awhile, replaced battery and so far no problem. What should I do?

View 4 Replies View Relatedi got this problem recently after installing a bunch of new app, till this point with all app & wi-fi on ,it took about a day to recharge,when i used my phone with all functions, but now: i uninstalled most of those new app,i turn wi-fi,gps,3g off,kill all background tasks with task panel,even so, with a full charge battery in STAND-BY, it takes just about 3-4 hours for battery to be empty! any solution please? i can't use my phone in real way any more because if i brows internet or use any app it is gonna empty in less then 2 hours,battery app tell me battery has excellent health too? the only new app that i didn't uninstalled is battery widget itself,could it be the source of this problem? the other change i had were: i gave quick access(show application in notification bar) for "toggle setting" & "task panel".
View 5 Replies View RelatedMany of us have experienced some battery life fall out since the last update. I mentioned this in the battery life thread but I thought it deserved it own topic. I have an app that I downloaded called battery status. it has a battery history. and it says time without sleeping 7h 10m 25s ago. Thats exactally when I unplugged my phone. This explains why I am seeing 2-3% per hour loss while not using the phone and while in airplane mode. Before the update I could keep the phone in airplane mode, not usre it, and leave work with over 94% battery life. So this proves that somehow the phone is not going into sleep mode... I can guarantee that everyone else in that is experiencing battery drain since the sept 16th update is due to this reason. The question is... why the hell is this happening and why won't the phone go into sleep mode?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just (within the past couple of days) noticed that my Battery Mode doesn't seem to be working. When I go into Battery Manager to select the Battery Mode, none of the selections highlight when I try to select them. I had been using Power Saver mode but it looks like all the buttons are grayed out. Anyone else notice this or have the same issue? I powered down and did a battery pull, but that didn't fix the problem. I don't want to do a reset because it's not that big of a deal to me but it would be nice to get it fixed.

Can the battery charge in bootloader mode?
I'm really not "using" my Android S3 phone all day long, it gets frustrating when the bettery runs at 30% at 2pm, without any real use.
So the concept would be:
1) either a "ROM" of Android, which would be seriously minimal - like the device is not a smartphone - so only wake up on incoming call or text message
2) or an app, which does the same thing - suspends the phone completely, and wakes it up only on the incoming call or text message
I was just curious - does something like this exist? I don't care about apps, notifications, wifi or sync, I was thinking more along the lines of would it be possible to use your smartphone like a typical "cell phone", and when you need other apps or full features (GPS navigation with maps, or Shazam, or whatever it is you need) - you just "reboot" or do a quick switch to "full Android" mode, and use those features.
I feel that the battery life should be at least 5 days in that mode, with light usage?
my Samsung s2 on jelly bean 4.1.2 drains battery alot while even in off mode not only that, whenever I press the switch off key the phone won't give me various options of restart, flight mode , sound mode and the likes, the phone will just go into off mode directly.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy non-branded GSM hero eats battery. So I decided to check some things out. These numbers are starting from 100% battery, and after a reboot - the only thing I open is settings to check the battery level, and then I lock it and leave it for 6 hours. In all cases the final awake time is low, less than 15% (because I'm doing nothing with it). Full data-sync mode - gmail sync, twitter, etc - about 10% battery use per hour. Retro mode - GSM only, data switched off - 6 % per hour. Airplane mode - 3.5% per hour - WTF?? (Awake time ~1%) Why is battery consumed when it's doing sod all?

I've gotten pretty good at managing my battery life , I use superpower and juiceplotter to monitor it .normally I waist less than 1% an hour when not in use and the phone is asleep
I've deleted every app I've installed since 1 day before this started. Only thing unusual I see in my logs is this message (Adding Alarm{464294e8 type 2 com.android.phone })
And this
Alarm triggering: Alarm{46354990 type 2 com.google.android.location} Adding Alarm{465bbb80 type 2 com.google.android.location }non stop repeatedly every second when phone is not in use.
I googled, and didn't find my answer.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOkay so I've tried a few different Calendar apps, and they all seem to link to either Google, or the stock Calendar. Is there an app out there that has all the functions of one of these, reoccurring events, Colored event bars etc, BUT does not link to either the stock or Google, or any other type. I'm not happy with the way this linking system works, but I DO need a calendar with event tabs for my work rota, holidays, pay days etc.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI know I've asked a lot of questions about getting the stock Android apps and keyboards, etc. But I am very concerned as it may mean taking back my Eris.
For some reason, I just cannot stand the HTC apps. For example, the Messaging app, the black notification bar and different battery icon, the Mail app, etc. They just look cheap or something. I don't use Sense UI, I have it set to Default Home. I don't really like HTC's keyboard as much as the stock Android one either. I bought the Eris because of the price, and how much lighter and thinner it is and how much better it looks than the Motorola Droid. However, I would really love to know if we can get the stock Android look and feel, for example the stock Android keyboard, stock notification bar color, stock messaging app, after the 2.0/2.1 update or after it is rooted. It just looks so much more dark and rich. I don't like white color schemes like in the HTC messaging app. (And don't say use Handcent because I don't like it either and I don't want to replace any apps.) Is it possible to just install the stock Android OS after it is rooted?
Night before last, I charged the battery to 100% before I went to sleep. When I was going to sleep, I unplugged it. When I woke up 7 hours later, it had only dropped 30% to 70%. I did the software upgrade, and the battery jumped back up to 80% and lasted a Long time. Well, last night, I did the same thing, and when I woke up, my battery had dropped to 50%. The phone was supposedly sleeping this whole time! A few minutes on the browser to look up the issue brought me down to 40%.
All I installed yesterday was YellowPages, WhitePages, Flikie (then uninstalled it) and LauncherPro (could this be the culprit?). Before I went to bed though, I opened GMail, and it was having trouble connecting to the server and finally gave me a "retry" button because it couldn't connect. I never pressed it and just went to sleep. WiFi, GPS, everything was off, and the screen was set to lowest brightness (which doesn't even matter here.) Why it dropped so much?

View 17 Replies View RelatedEvery time I let my SIIX batt die the phone states "downloading packages" and "entering store mode". A picture of an android shows up, the only way for me to get my phone to work again is by doing the following:
-Plug the phone in and let it charge a bit
-Unplug the phone from the charger and take the batt out
-Put the batt back in making sure it stays unplugged from charger otherwise it goes back into store mode
Only then will my phone go back to normal and charge....
