High Dialer Usage after Gingerbread update?

[johndabeast]

I searched for this and didn't find anything so I wanted to bring it up, after upgrading to the newest Gingerbread leak, my dialer now uses at least 20% of the battery. Before the update I didn't even see it on the battery usage chart because I rarely call people, and even when I did it still didn't come up this high. Any one else seeing this?

I saw it and disabled it. Apprears to be from DInc2 GB ROM. Assisted Dialling is only useful if you're using a world phone overseas. Stateside it can be turned off without ill effect. My Dialler dropped from 26% to 2% since disabling. I didn't do an imitate restart so it took time to bring the average down.

I turned off assisted dialing but I still see the Dialer using a bunch of my battery. I'll noticed it towards the top right as I take it off the charger in the morning so its not like I've made any phone calls.

Hey I was having the same issue...and to help with it I went into Titanium backup and wiped all the items that show up under "dialer" when you tap it under the battery usage screen. Items like "Phone, Dialer Storage, DM Command Service, and Field test". I wiped all of those and that seemed to help.

However I noticed the biggest difference in battery life after I installed nerozehl's 2.3.6 dream kernel today. I chose battery saver option using the speadtweak.sh. Ever since I have had great battery life.

And I don't know if you have tried this. But whenever you restart your phone, right after it boots up, go into running services under applications. I always see so many running services going on that I don't need at the moment. Google music and skype come to mind. End them. I always found them to use quite a bit of juice when the phone was just in my pocket.

Hope this helps...best of luck

Thanks, I have had assisted dialing off and it seems to not help much so I'll try this out.

No prob. let me know how it works out for you. I am very picky about my battery life (esp with this phone) I like to try as many different things as I can to improve it

It will be put through its paces today as its first real test, I have to use it while at school.

After turning assistant dialer off reboot your phone

 

[johndabeast]

Well, it made it through the school day of 6 to 2 with 47% battery left, which is good enough with its moderate usage it got. Hopefully it will get better when the school's wifi is fixed so that it can connect to that and use less power.

 

[johndabeast]

Seemed to go back up today, I do hope this gets fixed.

Boo! I should have looked here first, but I figured VZW/HTC would have fixed this before release!
