Oh, and I noticed it took forever to charge. Now, with "Messages" killed (until I get a text that is), battery charging like a champ.

Congrats on your New purchase. Welcome to the family. I am glad ti is working well for you. I will be glad when that matter is fixed on HTC's end

Phone over heating and battery life dropped
 

Well last night I Root'ed My here and am running Fresh 0.6 and everything was great I get up this mourning and grab my phone and it is warm to the touch even with no useage and just sitting on the charger. The phone was only at 20% awake time. Didnt really think anything about it.... well After getting up and heading into work at 12:30 my phone was off the charger for 40-45 mins till I got to work, then I plugged my phone and and was listing to Pandora... lunch was at 3:45 used the internet for like five mins and on the way back to work even the the phone was plugged in 80% of the day I geta low battery warning...



Anyone have an Idea I think I will be trying the MoDaCo rom and see if that hels the battery.... because before the root I could easley make it all day with casuel useage and no charger in site :protest:

Maybe you added some apps that is doing it like a taskkiller or something..

Re: Phone over heating and battery life dropped
 

Yea, Fresh has the best battery life I have had so far. I have not tried the .6b though.

Re: Phone over heating and battery life dropped
 

Im on the .06b and it runs really nice.Only thing i put the rubber slip on case and it seems to heat the phone up a little faster than normal

Re: Phone over heating and battery life dropped
 

I noticed that with my hard case.

Re: Phone over heating and battery life dropped
 

I got it yesterday..I took it off for now and will leave it overnight to see how it goes

Re: Phone over heating and battery life dropped
 

Think I found the answer, even the in the taskiller prgram was not showing the wifi teather was on or anything showing wifi was enabled. My phone still had the program running and was broadcasting the signal all day just killing my battry.


I know the program is turned off now I'll Give it another try lol

Re: Phone over heating and battery life dropped
 

I forgot about this, WiFi Tether eats batteries! Chargers can't keep up with it! It is still an amazing app, but it does overheat phone. I had battery at 129.5F at one time haha.

Re: Phone over heating and battery life dropped
 

Well considering the program was running all day and night and my phone never got really hot just warm I'm impressed, I'm remember my touch pro with a similar program flthe phone would get burning hot and the battery would die in like twenty mins lol


Really says something about the hero

Re: Phone over heating and battery life dropped
 

Very true.

I normally take the back battery cover keep it plugged in the wall and sit it on a cool surface. I have stone floors and it will run for hours without getting to warm to slow the charging. IF the batter gets too hot it wont charge properly. Its a safety mech in there

Re: Battery Life: Just how bad?
 

I get about 8 hours now. Before the MR it was 6

Ever since I got Obelisk+Modaco 1.2c I've been getting a consistent 8 hours until the battery warning message.

I use this thing all day, no "light use" mumbo jumbo..

I'm running:

Many Widgets, all 7 screens
Updates are under 5 Minutes for TwiDroid, Babbler, etc.
Gmail app pushing
Standard HTC Mail App (Every 15min)
No Task Killer
All GPS functions active
Brightness is at max, auto dim is off

Re: Battery Life: Just how bad?
 

Yeah, the battery on the Hero is just wonderful. Best battery life I've ever had.
