SEIDIO 1750 Battery - even with no use

[roadrat]

battery hits orange in 12-14 hours

Anyone having similar issue? Normal or do I have a bad battery?

Mine tends to last around the same time with moderate use. Its all depends on how you use the phone and what your settings are.

What are your up/awake times?

You must have an app on your phone that is eating up your battery life. I have a Seidio 1750 and I can easily get 24 hours with moderate use. With no use (like sitting overnight) the battery level barely moves.

I use ATK to make sure nothing is running that I'm not using.

88 hours up
65 hours awake

Apparently you don't "bump charge"

I dont bump, but i do charge 2-3 hours past green per Seidio's instructions

It stops charging after it turns green, meaning it is running off the battery, not the charger. I recommend bump charging. You will see a increased battery life for sure. I have the 1750 also and I am not experiencing your problem.

Your awake time should only be a small fraction of your up time. I would suggest turning the phone off and back on and trying to figure out what is keeping your phone awake. Chances are it might be your HTC Calendar and/or HTC Flickr. They were both giving me problems, so I deleted my Flickr account off the phone and added the Calendar to my Task Panel auto-kill list, and now the phone usually will last at least 30 hours per charge with the Seidio battery.

Also, make sure your WiFi is set to Never Sleep in settings.

hmmm....made some settings changes and got great time today. The culprit may have been Google Night Sky

I have the Seidio 1750 and I bump charge when i can and bump charging does make a difference over not bump charging but with moderate use I am lucky if i get 12-14 hours out of it. (bump charged)

11 hours since I unplugged and 70% remaining. Guess it was an app (Google night sky I think) that was killing it

In a regular day of moderate phone call use (probably 45 minutes worth), email on 15 minute intervals, 30 minutes of internet and playing about 30 minutes of music, I'm usually down to 55% juice after about 10 hours with the 1750. That's better than the stock battery. I'm usually at orange after 17 hours

 

[roadrat]

27 hours unplugged. 20% remaining.
light use.
Now, i am impressed

Got the same battery. Check the battery life 30 minutes after removing it from the charger. Mine consistently drops to 84% at that point. Bump charging will put it to 98% after 30 minutes.

So you could probably score an additioni 2-3 hours with a bump charge...not a problem with the battery, just the phone.

 

[roadrat]

wow....this cycle was 32 hours off charge and 20% remaining. light use obviously.

Seidio is right, the battery does last longer after several cycles
