Sprint HTC Hero :: Increasing Settings On MinFreeManager Culprit For Battery Drain?
Aug 20, 2010I think I understand how MinFreeManager works, but not exactly. I recently increased the settings on MinFreeManager (from default to aggressive) along with some other minor changes on my phone, and noticed faster battery drain. Could the settings change I performed on MinFreeManager be a reason for the faster battery drain, or would it be something else?

View 5 Replies View RelatedHTC Incredible :: Close Apps Draining Battery
Jul 5, 2010I hate the fact that when i use my camera, or camcorder and send an mms or simply save a picture, that it goes back to the camera. I hit the back button, home button, etc. and of course the camera goes away. I know the OS knows that the camera is in the background now, not utilizing CPU, therefore not using up MAH, but I'm OCD about it running, not sure why. The only 2 apps i kill when i'm done are google maps, and camera. I just dont want them running in the background even though they dont have "focus" and will not be drawing any power. There are some apps that come with an exit button, which is fine with me, even though it doesn't actually close the app, and i only use ATK when something is funky on the phone and not giving me what i want, but are you guys the same way as me, or am i the only one that force kills some of the more batt. draining apps ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHTC Incredible :: Maximizing Battery Life / Closing Apps
Sep 1, 2010I've had my htc incredible for a few days and I absolutely love it. However, I am less than pleased with the battery life. I run a good amount of apps and widgets and am sure this is causing the life to drain. I downloaded ATK in order to close apps when not in use, but I've noticed a strange occurrence. It seems that w/i 10 minutes of closing unneeded apps a bunch of programs that I have not been using open up. Is there any explanation for this? Also, is there a way to immediately close an app when I'm done using it rather than having to find the ATK widget?

Jun 23, 2010My battery life was bad, but it was OK, but in the past few days my battery life is 10% per 30minutes(Just over 5 hours on a charge).I used to get 8-10 hours on a charge.I noticed last week that while it was charging the status of the battery was "Overheat".I think I somehow cooked the battery?I use TaskKiller and kill 95% of apps automatically, I have bluetooth,wireless,GPS disabled and the screen dimmed.I have not changed or installed any new apps.I have not changed the way I use the phone at all.My battery was dead, 0%, and it charged to 95% in about 45 minutes.Is this even possible?In fact in the past two days I have not gotten the charge above 95% at all.

May 10, 2010A couple is questions: 1. I've installed Advanced Task Killer and I use it fairly regularly, but I don't understand why I keep finding apps I'm not using popping up when I check it. For example: when I finish online I turn off 3g or WiFi and use task killer to turn off internet. But I also find half a dozen other apps running, things like Clock, Messages, Last FM, etc. Can I stop that from happening?
2. I keep hearing that the display really eats battery life, but when I check Battery Usage in 'About phone' the things that between them account for about 90% is battery use are 'Phone idle', 'Cell standby' and 'Android system'. Display has used around 7%. Does that sound right?
Android :: Low Battery Apps
Jun 3, 2010I was out for a few hours today while using GPS, which obviously sapped my phone's power a bit quicker than usual. Since I got my Droid about a week ago, I've yet to see the battery drop below 40%, but today it started to creep below 30% and a question that I hadn't thought of came to mind: Does the Droid have any stock low battery warnings? I'd really hate to be wandering about with my phone and have it suddenly shut off after a heavy bit of GPS use in an app that doesn't allow me to see status bar and note my low battery. Will it make me aware somehow that I'm running low and should start conserving a bit more if I'd like to continue to have a functioning phone for the duration of my adventures? If the answer is no to this, then what are my options app-wise to have such a notification? Is there a good app that will tell me when my phone is on its last legs and I should tone down the usage? Better yet, is there an app that will also shut off all unnecessary communications (Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS, etc) and limit the phone to phone calls only?

View 14 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Apps For Conserving Battery
May 21, 2010I've just bought my first Android phone, an HTC Legend running 2.1 which I love. What I don't love is the battery life! I've been experimenting with different methods of conserving the battery and would like to hear what others users are doing. At the moment I switch off Wifi when I'm not at home and switch off GPS when I'm out all day. I also use a task killer to stop auto-updating apps I don't want open. I have some applications that check for updates frequently, email, exchange client and Google Listen, how does this impact of battery life?What about battery management apps? I've seen apps that control aspects of the phone but they seem overly complicated to configure, i.e. it's unclear how different settings will affect battery life. I've come across an app called Data on Demand that switches to 2G when the phone is on standby or on a schedule which seems very promising however there's no obvious way of verifying that it's working! Finally, anyone using Locale for power management?

Jun 13, 2010I have an EVO and I have a problem with it. I downloaded the app Advanced Task Killer to take care of apps running in the background. However sometimes when I pull it up I find that things like Sprint Navigation, Qik, Voice Dialer, and sometimes others are running without me pulling them up. My question is, how do I keep these apps from doing this, because they kill my battery when they come on and I don't know it?

View 23 Replies View RelatedSamsung Captivate :: Battery Sucking Apps
Jul 29, 2010when I first got my captivate, I was pretty impressed with battery life. I got 7.5hrs of in-n-out of service, taking pics, playing a bit and it cost 15-20% of my battery. I played for 1hr solid and it took 10%. Not bad. I then had myself a marketplace orgy and downloaded a shit-load of apps figuring I would check them all out later. Most I knew I would want eventually. I think I found a bug in photo bucket this way. I noticed my phone would *idle* using 10%/hr of battery. That is horrible. I found through process of elimination it was the photo bucket app, and the battery usage? not CPU, no, it was the 3G radio. It was probably attempting to login (w/o credentials as I had not confided it yet) repeatedly. Once I uninstalled it (it would auto-start even after being killed) my battery went back to staying almost flat while idle. Far, photo bucket (at least configured) is a problem app for battery usage. everything else I've tried seems ok so far.
