Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
Hmm, I took mine off the charger between 11:00AM and noon and by the time I was out of class (6:45) the phone was totally drained. I hardly used it at all. And since I was in class, from 3:30 until 6:45 the device was unused and on the silent sound profile. When I took it out of my pocket after class it was a bit warm, too. I have two email accounts synched, one checking every 60 minutes, the other set to "arrive as received" or whatever Windows Live offers. Wifi off, BT off, don't see a "beam" setting as others have suggested.
When I got home I opened the dotfred Task Manager and sorted by CPU usage. VZOMobile.exe showed constant 5% CPU usage. This is a video chat program I got on the TP2 software thread on XDA that I had installed but never even used. I killed it but 5 mins later it was back on. I ran the program, then registered an account and logged in and then exited the program. Hasn't shown up on task manager since... weird. Could that small 5% constant CPU be the problem with my battery draining? It seems like such a small amount. Or was Task Manager maybe taking a share of the CPU and perhaps the VZOMobile.exe was taking more when it had CPU all to its own? The phone has been charging now for a while and seems very cool, whereas before it almost always seemed warm.
Also I should add, I got the phone Saturday, so maybe it's too early to judge the battery life.
