Re: Battery Drain/Handcent - Just when you think it's figured out...
Interesting. I am coming from teh original SMs app and my battery went fast. The Handscent might be improved or not , but I did notice improvement in teh task killer and the Modaco room removal of some program apps.I removed teh Geocoder and that helped too

Re: Battery Drain/Handcent - Just when you think it's figured out...
I originally used the Hero messaging app, and had 100% awake time. With Handcent, my phone goes to sleep. Battery life seems to be a little better. But I use my phone all the time, so battery life isn't great.
I noticed when I first got the phone, the battery didn't last quite as long as it does now. Also, I had issues where my EV connection would be lost. I didn't even have 1X. Trying to cycle the mobile network would do nothing. Sometimes cycling the airplane mode would fix the internet connection. Other times I had to soft reset the phone. Now, I don't need to soft reset the phone at all. I had it up for almost 10 straight days, only requiring a reset after rooting the phone. Long story short, the phone needs to "break-in" for a few days, and should hopefully be fine. Maybe you should uninstall handcent, use the stock messaging app for a bit, and then switch back. Also, the other process that will keep your phone awake 100% is to not allow Sense to fully load on a fresh boot before the screen goes out. So, keep that in mind, as it may have nothing to do with Handcent.

Re: Battery Drain/Handcent - Just when you think it's figured out...
no, because original was causing a issue for me and it took three days for it's ugly head to come up and bite me... Handcent is somewhat more better then the stock when it came to it but I went at 100% with handcent as well.... so don't know what to do yet..

Re: Battery Drain/Handcent - Just when you think it's figured out...
In the interest of initiating scientific method and maybe even Koch's Postulates, I will be reintroducing Handcent to my phone and report what happens. It's just been so nice having a phone that's workin' at optimal.
Thankfully, with gmail the process is fairly painless and all my numbers are saved to gmail contacts. The big reason for this post is that I have seen contributors that are doing hard-reset after hard-reset and can't get the work around to work for them and stick. I don't think anyone's considered the possibility that Handcent is the problem. So far, I've been able to toggle (on/off) bluetooth, wifi, and GPS with widgets without issue...so far. Eventually, I'll reload Handcent along with other fun apps one by one and see what happens. I'll keep updating and if there are others in the same boat, please consider Handcent as culprit and share your experience. Don't get me wrong, I did like Handcent and would prefer it, but not until these issues are resolved. The native SMS is so blah. Last edited by godspeed6; 11-13-2009 at 05:33 PM. |

My awake time is 23% & that's probably my usual average. That's using handcent.

SON OF A 8!+ch!!!
Well, I soft reset my phone and damn it all to hell if battery drain isn't back....$h!+! Did an unattended soft reset and noticed that the loading of Sense was still trying to load when I woke up the phone a little later (red button). Checked About/Status and it was doing 100%...oh crap. Did another soft reset while not allowing the phone to sleep before full load, let the phone "sleep" for 5-10 minutes, checked about/status and 100%. Damn! Okay all, do I exchange the phone?? 30-day clock is ticking... |

Re: Battery Drain/Handcent - Just when you think it's figured out...
Did the hard reset the phone and loaded up handcent as the first app. Let's see how that goes.
Edit: Saw your post after I posted mine. Yea, go ahead and exchange it. If you don't mind me asking, what does your logo say on the back? HTC or by Google? I'm on my second Hero and one that's by Google has been awesome to me. No issues with memory leak and 100% wake time as of yet.
