Oh,Alpine's battery life time is too short - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General

Every day I play Alpine a long time,But Its battery only 1300Mah,If I have been playing,It only can use at least 7hours,why Alpine's battery life time so little?Who has got solution?

I think you should use the 1600 mAh battery (PH17B battery series) to make your battery lifes longer. I've been using it on my O2 Xda IIi.

Battery life depends on what you are doing with it of course...:
Make sure you have IR turned off.
If you are in a bad mobile coverage area that will run down the battery faster.
WiFi being on kills battery life.
There is also a normal/turbo option in power settings to change the processor speed.
Turning down the backlight brightness can help a lot as well.
I'm sure there ae other things that can conserve battery life...

Ways to boost battery life?

I've had Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2.1 RLS16 on my Vogue for a while, and there's been times when my phone battery died out quickly when I really needed to use it the most. My phone seems to use up a lot of battery while it's sleeping too, so I don't know what the problem is. I barely have any widgets installed, but I do leave my phone in my pocket a lot. Are there any methods I can try out that will boost battery life even just a little bit?
turn off background data, auto-sync and GPS.
This way my touch's battery seems similar to WM 6.5.
GPS especially. Also, if you are using a task killer, uninstall it. I also uninstalled the battery meter that came with superfroyo, it is to inexact. The default android one seems more accurate.
Getting rid of a task manager? Don't they free up memory and kill unneeded processes?

No. They spend resources shutting things down that Android then re-opens. Read more here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6426198
Android is not WinMo. And from personal experience, uninstalling Advanced Task Killer was the single best thing I ever did for increasing battery life and making Froyo run faster. Just try it for a week and you'll see.
The best way to boost battery life, imho, is to not use the phone to charge your battery.
I've recently gotten my hands on HTC ELF0160 battery charger and used it to charge my battery. After using this particular charger my STANDARD (stock) battery is now reading ...
78% after 8 hours and 16 minutes on battery
57% on Display
28% on Standby
15% on Phone Idle
2% on Voice Calls
As you can see its been pretty idle. All I've been running is Google Talk 1.3 and Facebook, and the random admiration of the new found battery life.
Note I'm using scoots latest rom, without any modifications other than installing a couple of apps.
So if you could get an external charger I'd suspect you'd get much better battery life. Prior to this I'd be lucky to get 8 hours of battery. I suspect that the phone isn't fully charging the battery for whatever reason.
Regards,
EDIT...
After 21 hours my readings are
47% display
33% standby
18% idle
4% voice calls
Again my usage I'd categorize as very low. Currently my battery level is reading 27%. note this is the same battery as above, the standard 1100 mah one.

The vogue battery works with an Elf charger? Thought they weren't compatible.
That's what the charger is called. I have a couple at work that I'm using. My batteries have yet to explode.

HD7, 7392, 3900mah=10hrs!?!?

is HD7 really a battery sucker?
i got a mugen 3900mah battery, no email schedule, wifi off, bt off, location on, 20 sms, 20 mins of gaming. no calls. screen brightness auto. 3G data allowed.
wth.
any tips on battery saving?
I have 1230mAh(default) battery , playing 15min , 60-70sms , 1 hour talking , wifi on , 3g off
keeps charge approximately 1.5 days
I think the problem is in ur battery
LOL, i think i just need to calibrate my battery. I've been playing games for 2 hrs. and it's still on it's last? bar? wifi-on and listening to internet radio for 4 hrs. and the phone hasnt shutdown.
With the extended batteries I believe that the os battery indicator becomes inaccurate because of the extended battery and how it reads it.
I'm not even sure Windows Phone 7 supports extended batteries , but if it does, then it is probably due to a lack of calibration or poor quality.
Same with me, i got a Yoobao 2200Mah, and when the battery is low i pull it out and put it back in and im back to 100% charge. im going to fully flatten it again to see if it helps
Battery capacity does little

Time for new battery?

Hey guys, I have a weird issue. Regardless what ROM I am on, my battery percentage will randomly drop like 10%
Randomly, I will be using it, I'll be at 70%, then it will just drop to 60%, normal use. Been happening a lot more recently.
Is this a sign of a battery going bad? I've had this phone roughly a year (Stock battery).
Thanks!
What does your battery life look like? A battery's performance WILL degrade over time, but if your battery life is still good enough for you, I don't see any harm in continuing to use it.
You could get an app like Battery Monitor Widget. It will keep track of usage and calculate the health of the battery. You can also try wiping battery stats (the app can do that too), it could just be the phone mis-reading the battery...

[Q] Is HTC's built-in power saver useful?

Just as the title says is the power saver options like CPU and data connection really useful as well as the "sleep mode" option in power settings or are they making battery life worse?
If they are power savings options i don't see any reason why it would drain even more?

well according to this quote from another thread on xda in the sprint htc one forum,so I wasn't sure because it says it does make it worse.
"Power Saver mode will not save you any remarkable amount of battery unless you are maxing out the CPU or GPU (like playing games). Since what it does under the cover (besides what it advertises in the options) is downclock the CPU, this can actually be a detriment to battery life. It is better for battery life for the CPU to run at max speed for very short periods, and then go to sleep. It uses more power by running slower (and thus staying awake longer)."

Anyone?
I keep the power saver on most of the time. The main things I notice is that it dims the display (not really an issue if you work indoors) and it disables the wifi and data connections after periods of inactivity.
No real downsides (I'd be curious to hear other people's experiences). Sometimes receiving WhatsApp messages takes a couple extra minutes if the data/wifi connection goes to sleep.
Seems to give me good battery life - I average 15-18 hours, and that's including a fair amount of on-screen time and music/podcasts during the day.
I used power saver quite a bit in the 2 months after I got the phone but I don't use it anymore. In my experience it helped very little (as in added an hour or 2 maybe to overall life per charge). My baseline average battery life is 21hrs GSam tells me, and that's without power saver on at all (wifi, nfc, cellular always on and screen at 100%) and about 3hrs screen on time.
It may just be that, as was mentioned above, my use doesn't utilize the benefits of power saver because I don't often do cpu intensive things. It did run a bit cooler though. I also prevented the mode from diming the screen. I always (and still do) found that most of my power was going to the system (apps etc) @80% even with the screen maxed, and that I would lose about 20% overnight with our without power saver. So I stopped using it because : 1. It didn't improve MY USE 2. I didn't like the notification icon 3. I hear really good things about Battery Guru from experienced XDAers and the app seems more intelligent than power saver to me so I use that now. Unfortunately it's still too early to tell how much this will increase my average usage.
Regarding the issue of damaging your battery, the way it was brought up refers to the number of charge - discharge cycles a battery has. So only something that discharges the battery more quickly (so that you have to do another charge cycle more quickly) will shorten the battery's life. If nothing else, logically using power saver would not do this. It won't hurt the battery and may not hurt your usage (remember the GPU can still run at full clock for games), but I don't think it will help you much either based on my experience.

dont believe everything you see online. All it does it limit the CPU, as opposed to running 1700mhz, its capped at 1134mhz, this is not detrimental.
it takes power to make power, undervolting and downclocking processors has been repeatedly proven to assist and aid battery life.
it takes a certain balance or the two to get great results. Mind you the stock kernel is great but its adaptive. So dont be discouraged when seeing bad battery life initially.
If I leave my phone off charge overnight, I usually loose around 5%. If I turn powersaver on, I only loose 1-2%. This is with around 8-10 hours of no usage, with wifi on. It also turns off vibration feedback when using the back and home keys.
I've also noticed the phone to be slightly less responsive with power saver on. As far as I can tell, if you are concerned whether your battery will last you the few more hours you need, it will definitely help save power
It makes a difference and if you need the extra juice it will help you.
However, the amount of difference depends on your use.
If I am using Snapdragon Battery Guru should I deactivate Power Saver? Is the Power Saver a better/worse solution or a complementary one for optimising battery life?

Theoretically they should work together fine because Battery Guru studies what you do with your phone so that it can figure out what to prioritize and what to shut down - it adapts so it should adapt to the power saver situation. Underclocking the cpu shouldn't change what services it adjusts because you're still doing all the same things.
Battery Guru just finished "learning" on my phone yesterday so I don't know how good it is. But I lost 40% overnight for some reason which has never happened before. It's probably still adapting. Life seems to be better during use...
The comment above about the OS being adaptive is also very true, my first few charge cycles were dismal but they got better within a week (without power saver etc.)

Ya I'm using Juice Defender Plus on my HTC one running 4.1.2 for a few months now and I'm not sure if it's making too much of difference. Are you finding Battery Curu pretty decent?
I turned it off on my wife's HTC One. It was disabling data/wifi after several minutes inactivity, which caused FB Messenger to freak out and stay awake, which caused the battery to drain faster than if the data was just left on.

Hmm... If I leave my phone off the charger overnight after a full charge with power saver with WiFi on for 6 hours it will be down to 95% with no usage.

Sorry still to early to tell really, it's learning period ended yesterday so it'll take time for GSam to find the new average usage. But again it SEEMS to have improved drain during use. I'm really not sure what the drain last night was but if it happens again tonight the app is gone...

I used to have a higher drain, but after some research, I found out using betterbatterystats that google maps was waking up the phone often and preventing sleep. I corrected this by disabling "report from this device" in google maps settings.
Before this, I experienced similar battery drain with power saver on.
From experience, it's best to determine phone sleep time and app battery usage, and correct this to achieve the best life.
I'm currently able to get two days with light usage without power saver!

I changed my mind, I'm consistently losing 40% per night after Battery Guru activated. I can't confirm that this app is the problem, but it's never happened before and I haven't changed anything but adding the app. Maybe just me experience though.

I've uninstalled BatteryGuru for the same reason
I'm relatively certain that for many people this is super old news, but I'd like to share this anyway just in case it helps anyone (and a bit because I'm just so impressed by how it works )
I've tried a few different power saving strategies on this phone and have been disappointed with all, including just keeping power saver on all the time. I would always lose 20-40% overnight no matter what I did. I should also clarify that it is not acceptable for me to just disable a bunch of things to get that drain under control. So one day I turned on power saver (everything checked off) and just turned off wifi, and I've been doing it ever since because now I only lose 5-10% over night maybe a strange thing to be excited about considering my other devices lose as little as 1% in that time with nothing turned off, but everything's relative.
I think now I'll try keeping wifi off and power saver on throughout the day and see what I get. Though I'm not sure I like the thought of data being turned off during the day when the screen isn't on...
For me at least this is the single best battery saving thing I've ever done on my One.

What you mean by saying that you "turned on power saver (everything checked off)"? What Power Saver does if everything is checked off? I suppose like that it actually doing nothing. If you uncheck everything and turn it on isn't the same as turning Power Saver off?
