You could also look into erasing the phones battery memory,since you upgraded the battery.I'll find you a link

Two questions also related to battery issues...

Is Android 2.2 or the OTA supposed to address these issues or somehow improve battery life?

Also, when I charge my battery, it seems like it takes forever to get up to about 50% or so, but then it rapidly goes from 50 to 100. What could be causing this? Is this a problem or is it common?


I'm sure these questions have been asked before, but I haven't had much time to check the boards lately....

I had the Incredible for about a week and was not happy with the battery performance so I went and got the Seidio 1750 battery....

I did not bump charge.

My battery was fully charged when I unplugged it at 6:30 am

at 10:30 am my battery was down 49%.

I have the following

- Twitter sync's every 2 hours
- Facebook sync's every 2 hours
- Pure calender for all my calenders sync's every 6 hours
- Pure calender just for just Astrid tasks as a " to do list" syncs every 6 hours
- ATK kills my selected list every 2 hours
- Beautiful Widgets running
- I listened to some music off SD card using the default media player for about 1 hr
- I have Launcher Pro running
- I have screen dimmed to ~ 20%

I mean...is this the perfect storm for battery drainage?

IF you were me and wanted to get lets say 10 hours of battery life instead of 7-8...WHAT would you do?

Silly question, but you've checked the usual culprits of Facebook for HTC Sense and the Calendar app, right? I usually have to go in and Force Stop the Facebook one every time I restart my phone and the Calendar one every time I get a reminder.

Before you run launcherpro, make sure to set the "clean slate" scene in sense, otherwise your sense widgets will keep updating behind launcherpro.

I really wish everytime a battery thread came up we didn't have to see the "liar liar" posts or the 'test' posts etc. He didn't ask if the size of the battery was correct he asked how to improve his battery life and specifically with the 1750. There are A LOT of us out here that are getting anywhere from 10-20 hours on this battery depending on usage. I'm in the 14-16 hour group with moderate to heavy usage.

So, the first question I would ask is what cycle are you on? It take 5-6 FULL cycles of the battery to get optimal performance out of your battery. Mine wasn't lasting much longer than stock on the first two charges, maybe an hour longer. Make sure before you place it back on the charger you are down to 20% or less before placing it on the charger. You only need to do this on these first 5-6 cycles.

On about your 5-6 cycles when battery life seems to have lengthen as far as it will go bump charge it once if it makes you feel better about the battery. This is what I did and I never bump charged again, and I have great battery life and no 10% drop as soon as I take it off the charger and all that crap.

If you have already done the 5-6 cycles and life still isn't looking good then I would suggest doing the whole 'clean slate' thing. Check inside menu --> settings --> about phone --> battery and see if your awake time and up time are the same, or about the same, numbers. If they are you having something keeping your phone awake which kills the battery that much faster. Also inside of there you can look at battery use and see what app may be doing it!
