Shantz Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 A must-read for all android users, especially if you are coming from a regular PC paradigm where any app open means wasted CPU cycles and RAM. Even if you are not a developer, you must skim through this. Multitasking the Android Way Read it and decide whether you want to continue using your task managers or not..

Jigsaw Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 1. Keep backlight off, you dont need it to be on unless you are in bright sunlight.. Also keep the auto-backlight-management option off2. Dont set any task killers to run on automatic mode, i.e., dont allow them to kill tasks automatically.. 3. You can keep sync off through the power widget that comes pre-installed when you dont want applications to sync.. e.g. when are you are already at work.. 4. If you want to save your battery further, turn off live wallpapers and use a static one.. although turning this off takes out half the coolness factor, so atleast keep it on for a few days in the beginning when all your friends will be looking at your phone to check it out and will ooh and aah on seeing live wallpapers Abbe jiggy I already gave you a 4 pointer to save your battery.. try that..and @jiggy and @bul: Do not kill any tasks yourself unless you are very sure what you are doing..and especially do not use any automatic task killers, you are going to make matters worse.. I have already followed the tips shantibai Woke up from sleep just now... the battery has dropped 14% from 10am-6pm today.. that is while i was sleeping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 ^That seems normal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 ^^ i guess the E72 has spoilt me. Am gonna take the phone as is to work... use it normally without constantly worrying about the battery life. Have done some R&D online, seems like all new Desire owners face the same issues as me for the first few charge cycles.. so keeping my fingers crossed. Worst comes to worst, will order a new battery off ebay or buy an original one when this thing launches officially in India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 ^^ 14% in 8 hours of idle is normal for these phones.. Don't compare it with E72 as that is a different category altogether.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersim Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 My spica s battery has been good so far maybe its because I have a habit of charging my phone every morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Yeah E72 is a complete workhorse. Even BB is awesome in that regard. Gives me 2 days of battery after 2 push email accounts, frequent messenger usage and phone calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 ^^ absolutely +1 Glad i "kept" my E72. In the Accounts & Sync menu, i disabled "Background Data and Auto-Sync", hopefully this makes a difference. The built-in mail app has been set to fetch emails from my gmail & yahoo accounts everyday at 7am-730am. Anything else i need to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Not that without background data on, you will not be able to use gtalk.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngerSmash Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Day 3 with the HTC Desire i think i've screwed this and myself out of 27.5k The battery drain is appalling. I used/played with it for over 5 hours after getting it on saturday night.... and have a bad feeling not charging it before doing all that may have screwed the battery. The battery drains at the rate of 1% a minute. Switched it off last night and put it on the AC charger. Sometime after 3 hours my dad conviniently decided to switch off the charger Today morning i switch it back on... it begins with 100%... in exactly 10 mins the charge has come down to 92% Have installed juicedefender since saturday night itself... rooted the thing on sunday morning.... am scared now happend wit me too uncheck all the auto sync options coz even if u r not connected to the net these apps still tries to connect to net n tht drains a lot of battery kill all the apps whn the phone is not in use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 yeah bra-tool.. i have kept only background sync on... thats necessary for gtalk to work. Auto-sync is unchecked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
