What is that chinese seller Ebay user name? Is your phone stock with those hour ratings you getting from the battery, or you did the battery tweaks?

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

My battery life is GREAT! I am a HEAVY user, talk for about 2 hours, send about 40 txts, browsed for about 45 minutes, calendar, contacts, etc and I still have 4 bars!

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak

so talk time was only 2mins,,,and stanby time is showing 15hours and 32 mins,,,
so i sent about 15 emails and 10 sms
any idea please? ??

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

All LION batteries take 3-4 charges and discharges before they start performing at their peak.

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

so i mite already charged that 3-4 times cuz i have it since friday evening ,,, i was playing for about 2-3 hours and then i putted on charger,,,

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

Last Full Charge: Tuesday September 15, 2009, 4:27PM
Standby time: 45 hours, 44 minutes
Talk Time: 4 minutes
Device Usage: 5 hours

As you can see, I don't use my phone that much, but if I had my Apache running like I have my TP2, it would have been dead after the 5 hours of device usage. I am really impressed with the battery life thus far and if I wanted too, I could probably get away with charging it once a week. I'm guessing that since I have the unlimited data now, I'll probably use it a lot and will likely be able to go 3-4 days between charges with my relatively sporadic use.

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

The TP2 far outstrips my TP in battery life. My TP would go from 100% off the charger at 8 a.m. to about 40% around 3 p.m. with my normal call/Internet/push mail usage.
Yesterday, I got up at 5 a.m. to catch a 3 hour flight during which I watched a 2 hour movie on my TP2, did regular phone/Internet/push mail and still had 8% juice left at 3 a.m., 22 hours later...and it was never plugged into a charger until I got back in my hotel room at 3 a.m. HTC, I think you may have finally got this one right!

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

thanks GoodThings2Life since I install the clean up file my TP2 is running great. Since my last charge was
45 hours 28 min
1 hour 26 min talk time
2 hours 10 min usage a few email and text and lots of you tube and internet
and still at 51% and still going.
THANKS AGAIN!!!

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

Could more of you guys with great battery life post your battery information? Mainly the Last full charge date, and standby, talk and device usage times since the last charge. I only get about 4hrs of device usage out of my device before it gives me the warning, so I would like to measure it up to more than just descriptive words.

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

I think I am somewhere in between...my last phone was a Treo 700wx so I don't have a great comparison...

I have 50% left with this info:

Last full charge: 8:08AM (13 hours ago)
Standby: 10h 51m
Talk time: 7 min
Device usage: 2h 18m

I have my brightness 2 notches away from full...push email (Gmail activesync), rss hub updating every 2 hours, weather autoupdates...what seems to drain battery the most is the glitch where the backlight comes on by itself...it seems to happen every few minutes sometimes...

After reading posts here, I would say my battery life is better than some but not as good as others...I charge it every night (I like having a fully charged battery in the morning) so I've probably done 10 charges or so...a couple times though I feel like I went very quickly from one bar to it telling me to plug it in so is it possible for a battery to drain quickly towards the end?

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

I'm using activesync to get my exchange e-mail pushed to me with whatever the regular schedule is. Most of my phone use time is listening to audiobooks via tcpmp with a little texting and occasional web browsing. Brightness is on default auto adjust and I did use google maps GPS actively for maybe 20 minutes while I drove somewhere. Bluetooth has been on for most of that time as well streaming my audiobook to my motorola S9-HD bluetooth headset. Oh and my battery says 43% left as of me taking that screenshot.

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

My battery is similar to yours in terms of device usage and standby time and how much juice is left afterwards, im not sure if I should try to get a new battery or what to do. I dont have the backlight problem though.

When they say it takes a few charge/discharge cycles for the battery to kick in does that mean you have to let it completely drain? My battery does drain rather fast from 1 bar to the exclamation mark sign as well.

@oldpueblo

Wow your battery is amazing, I wish mine would last that long all around. I was wondering how come your talk time is greater than your device usage time, mine counts the talk time towards the device usage time. Do you have any of your own tips on what to do to optimize my battery use?? Thanks for posting a ss!

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

Seems like there is a couple of camps of people up in here...1st gen TP owners that have flashed custom ROM's and generally optimized their phones...PLUS probably an extended battery from Seidio (I'm one of those, and biased toward Seidio batts.)...then there are first time TP2 users...and have EVERYTHING under the sun running.

My TP2's batt life beats my ROM flashed, radio flashed optimized extended battery wearing TP on any given day. I've only installed Goodthings' TP2 Sprint cleanup and No2Chems batt drivers. I have my exchange server sync every 2 hrs and my other email do the same. I use bluetooth extensively...and I'm on Opera quite a bit. Plus your normal 30-45 texts a day and about 30 mins of total talk time. Oh BTW, I have S2U2 running as well...which seems to be playing very nice with the battery. =D>

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

Hmmm...I probably can't do worse trying a new battery...I think I'll wait until the TP2 is in stores and then go try and swap it out...

Btw though...can you guys with the great performing batteries mention where you have your backlight brightness set? In theory that could make a bit of a difference...

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

I think most people on this forum are first time TP2 users unless they had the euro version ofc :mrgreen:....I have turned off the auto adjust backlight, and have it on the 3rd notch, and all of my settings are set to optimize battery life, I even have manual updates on email, weather and stocks. I have also disabled push pages in opera, so I dont have everything under the sun running.

I've installed the GPS cab, mighty mikes updated toolbar, battery driver and thats about all. So if there is something that I can do to further optimize my battery life by all means let me know.

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

Try this if you haven't already done so...Goodthings have done much for TP users and now he's at it again for us TP2 users...

On top of that...it might be worth a shot at giving S2U2 a try to preserve your batt. I have had NO battery problems with S2U2.

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

Now that I think about it I probably cheated because I had to plug it into my laptop for a short amount of time to copy something off and it probably got a little bit of a charge. That should still be decently accurate though. It now shows:

12:25 standby
6:39 talk
6:38 usage

And is at 39 without further plugging in.

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

Compared to the G1 this battery and battery life are a "dream" come true...pun intended :)

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

This should tell you everything: When I got my Touch Pro, it came shipped with TWO batteries due to the battery life issue, this was not a mistake. My TP2 has an awesome battery life thus need only the one, and that is with push mail , continuous syncing , streaming music, talking, watching video, web surfing...And it still has at least 30 percent left at 8 pm. There is no comparison between the 2. If you are having to charge after minimal use, you definitely have either defective battery or phone OR you must be leaving your WIFI on all day. I even run Mobile Shell 3.5 which I was told seems to suck down a lot of folks batteries. I love my TP2. I do not even use a battery tweak on it, but if someone has one that they definitely know works on the TP2 please post it in a reply ..Thanks

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

you're advising running s2u2 to PRESERVE your battery??

In my experience, that app has turned into such a bloated battery hog that I will never run it any more (I used to love it)

I now run PocketShield (awesome program & MUCH lighter than s2u2)

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

I was thinking about using that cleanup, but alot of the stuff it changes are stuff I dont want changed.

@oldpueblo

Your battery life is still crazy, think im going to have to try to get a replacement battery.

I wouldnt say that I charge after minimal use, more moderate...I watch a couple Youtube vids everyday, but if I dont charge when I get home @ night I know that it wont last me the next day. I get about 4.5hrs of usage out of the battery sometimes less, if im on youtube for like 30mins. Im not sure if thats considered heavy use or whatnot. Bluetooth and Wifi are turned off @ all times I dont use either, maybe bluetooth in the future with the upcoming cell phone ban while driving in T.O.

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

Just curious...what GPS cab are you talking about?

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

The one in tobeychris' sticky "How To Configure GPS"

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

My TP2 Has a "Good" Not great as some people say. I can send emails, go on the web play a couple of games and when i get home from work i have about 2 bars. Now i dont know how long that will last, meaning after time like in a few months or so but i can tell you if i used the phone for more then 15 minutes a bar will drop from my phone.(I tried this btw) so idk mabye within a year sometime becuase i just got the dam thing ill buy a extended battery. I keep the phone in my pocket anyways i dont really care. My xv6800 (VZW) was HUGE with the extended battery like 3 iphones back to back lol

Re: htc tp2 battery is weak
 

Just an observation re my battery on tp2. Coming from a tp1 that couldn't last a whole day with a 2000mAh extended, I'm thrilled that my tp2's 1500 mAh oem batery lasts all day and part of the next. Just to get thru the day is huge for me. No battery issues at all.
