Sprint HTC Hero :: Widgets And Battery Drain

Jun 21, 2010

I've searched on here, but none of the threads really answered my question post the 2.1 second upgrade. Which widgets use battery life even during sleep mode/when the homescreen ISN'T actively being displayed? I was under the impression that homescreen widgets don't load until you swipe to that homescreen (except for Twitter of course). The Facebook and YouTube widgets always load up with new status updates and videos recommended for me after I turn my phone from sleep mode. These widgets are all on one screen, so if I wake my phone up and swipe to the screen with Facebook and Youtube, they will show facebook status updates that say like updated 2 mins ago and Youtube will have the slideshow going of videos recommended for me. Also, does the official HTC battery widget cause high battery drain? I may to look at my friend's Droid at work and see how he gets 2 days of battery life. He doesn't seem like he would lie about it, and says when he uses the web it dies fast. However, he did say that it pulls his email automatically for him so he must not be turning 3G off.

Sprint HTC Hero :: Where To Start Looking For Battery Drain

Sprint HTC Hero :: WiFi More Of A Battery Drain Than OTA Network

Nov 27, 2009

However I wonder if it is less of a battery drain to use my WiFi at home / work than to simply use the Sprint network / Ev-Do Rev A?

I figured that since it can read my WiFi easier, it might use less power, then again it is a function on the phone that needs to be launched and therefore might be draining more.

Sprint HTC Hero : Faster Battery Drain After The Update

Nov 20, 2009

After updating my Hero the other day I have noticed a marked decrease in battery life. This started the very next day after updating my hero.

Right now I'm at 41% of battery life left after unplugging from the charger about 9 hours ago. For the past few weeks, I have been around 65%-70% at this time of day, and I'd normally be at about 15%-20% at 10:30 when I go to bed.

Is anyone else experiencing a similar decrease in battery life after the update?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Battery Drain Mobile Network Error

Jan 11, 2010

I just got my Hero from Sprint last week and I love it! But I have one small problem. When my battery drains and the phone shuts itself off (ie powers down). After I charge it up and turn the phone back on I have no service, if I try to go turn my mobile network back on it wont allow me to open the program and it forecloses on itself. The only way I am able to do ANYTHING on the phone or use it is to reset it to factory settings which causes me to lose EVERYTHING!Has anyone had this problem or know of anyway to fix it when this happens?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Increasing Settings On MinFreeManager Culprit For Battery Drain?

Aug 20, 2010

I 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?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Full Battery Drain Caused All Core Applications To Fail

Dec 29, 2009

I was unexpectedly away from home, but using the device quite heavily, and didn't have a method to charge the battery. Once the battery had drained to about 3%, I switched the phone off. I ended up needing to make another call. The phone booted, but all core apps returned a force close message. Phone, Maps, Google Account, all the main stuff. Other apps would launch and function with no problem though. I rebooted the phone again thinking there would still be just enough juice to allow a phone call, but while booting, the battery totally failed.

Once I had a change to plug in the charger, all core apps continued to fail, even though the phone now had plenty of power. Even after a battery pull, the same issues continued, rendering the phone pretty much useless. No phone link, no network, nothing. The phone is rooted and I'm currently running Fresh ROM v1.0, so lacking anything else to do, I performed a Nandroid restore from about 2 days ago and that seems to have fixed up the problem. (I did not want to resort to the RUU)

Sprint HTC Hero :: 2.1 Power Widgets?

Mar 8, 2010

Im using the new fresh 2.1 ROM which is awesome. In 1.5 I used the settings widgets to turn on/off wifi, 3g etc. On 2.1 there is a power manager widget that basically has wifi, BT, GPS, screen brightness and sync all in one widget. I liked the other widgets better as I had the ability to turn off 3g with it. Is there any way to get thos widgets back in 2.1? Another thing I've noticed is that in 1.5 you could turn off the GPS and not affect the location services but in 2.1 I cant find a similar setup....

The app store tells you the application that you can download, but it's not clear which one has a widget you can use. Is there a website that people are going for these things, or is it just hit-and-miss?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Widgets On 3 Page Android?

Jan 25, 2010

I know how to use the Normal 3 Page android view v. 7 Page sense. I like HTC sense but think that the icons are getting boring, I downloaded the droid icons (2.0 icons) and used better cut to change it. But it will not work with HTC Sense so i am using the 3 Page android one. My question is, is their any download in the market or online that lets you add the Sense widgets to the normal android screens. I have astro file explorer and will try to search for the widgets in the htc folder and copy them to the android widgets folder.

Sprint HTC Hero :: Widgets / Programs / Shortcuts

Jul 30, 2010

So I removed a widget and then went back to put it back on and got the msg there wasn't room. I played around a bit moving and removing items to make room. I learned that while there doesn't seem to be room for the widget, there is room for the "program" for the same app/function.So now I'm wondering, what is the difference between these three?Will one result in more or less battery drain? Is the widget quicker to launch it's program equivalent?Should I avoid placing one type on the home page?

HTC Droid Eris :: App To Tell Which Apps / Widgets Are Responsible For Power Drain?

Mar 23, 2010

Is there an app out there that will tell you which apps/widgets are responsible for power drain?

in a perfect world, it would show which apps are running and how much power or wake time they are using. i've tried to turn off as much as i can, yet my battery life still sucks sometimes, and i'd like to find out what is responsible for it so i can change that setting.

most of the power management apps i've seen just tell you battery level and health.

Samsung Epic 4G :: Battery Won't Go Into Sleep Mode (battery Drain Related)

Sep 24, 2010

Many 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?
