how many mA does your TP use

zeurx · #1 (**permalink**) 03-06-2009, 10:02 AM

I feel like the TP uses to much power on idle. maybe its just the 3d chip working all the time compared to XDAs that dont have a 3d chip but even with the backlight down and no data session enabled i still get about somewhere between 160 to 240 mA on discharge. I remember my touch only had 150 mA if the data was on and 300+ mA if gps was on... so what gives why is this phone less efficient

edit: Checking with nuePowerCPL

How are you monitoring this?

Is the poll question "How much current does your phone draw in standby"

Is the version for the Diamond the same for the TP?

the 1% dll works on both the diamond and tp but the cpl should work on any htc device

It should be under 50. If it's over 50, then the CPU isn't in low power mode, or some radio is powered up.

I believe standby should be in the 20s, based on the expected standby time (doing nothing at all, never powered on) of ~ 2 days.

Edit: I'm on the stock sprint rom, radio 1.11

that is exactly how mine looks, i got it down to 150s when i went on campus today tho which is better but i would love to see it down around the 100s-120s when no data connection. One thought i did have was this phone has twice as many pixels in the screen, so in theory should take twice the amount of power then the touch did to display the screen yes?
