HTC Inspire Battery Experiences...

[Androidjunkee]

So I guess its safe to say that the average user, based on a non-meticulous meta analysis of this thread, will be just fine with this phone and battery life

For the heavier user's they might need to take a car charger and or spare charger to work with them in the morning. Otherwise it seems like the reviews are pretty solid

Any tips on how to help out the battery life?

Any tips on how to help out the battery life?

if your having issues, dim the screen, let the battery drain to under 20% and charge to full, change some of your syncing for data, mail etc etc

TY Andrea. Just really new here to Android and not real sure on what the best settings for syncing would be. I really like my emails to come asap so not so sure what to change there. Everything sync'd right now is at defaults. Any recommendations are welcomed.

You could also download juciedefender if you really need it has settings for data etc which alot of people on here rave about

I installed Juicedefender last night and also Screebl. And I've been running Profile Valet for a couple days too.

Is there a noticeable difference in battery life?

I have to agree, I picked mine up yesterday around 400 pm and played with it all night and listened to podcast and everything, I am at work now almost 15 hours later and i am just now charging it. I love this phone.

15hrs? I'm not getting anywhere near that... Bad battery on mine?

Have you taken any steps to extend your batter life? like adjusting screen brightness, killing applications, etc.

 

[AndreaCristiano]

wow 6Hours!!! Im getting between 10-15 you guys either need to take a breath or get a new battery lol

 

[gtalum]

I've gotten 12 hours from unplug to 15% two days in a row. This is with heavy use for me. I'm satisfied.

 

[bbgeekchic]

I JUST got the 15%warning at about 6:30 this morning (did not charge it overnight)..Last charge was yesterday afternoon.
I'm at 91% and still charging. Will document what time I get to 100%, unplug and test how long it takes to get back down to 15-10%. So far its been lasting over 12 hours easily with very heavy use.

Profile Valet changes the settings depending on your location, similar to Tasker but not as involved and will less options. I have a work mode, home mode, and night and morning modes setup plus a manual car mode which still requires a couple of clicks... easier just to use the power widget built into the phone to enable/disable wifi/bluetooth/gps.

I just installed JuiceDefender and Screebl last night so I won't know until the end of the day to see how my battery is, but screeble is pretty cool. Check out this video, it explains what it does.

I'll post back with results tonight on JuiceDefender.

A positive note I noticed this morning- I did not plug it in overnight and I only had about 6% power loss. While that's not amazing by any means, it is much better than other Android devices I've used.

 

[harlenm]

I seem to be getting better battery life today, although I'm not using it as much this morning, I'm at 75% remaining after uplugging at 7:45, so almost 5 hours since off the charger.

Will keep an eye on it over the next few days.

That is starting to sound about right

Like I said, I did the factory reset, maybe that helped.

Now I'm just trying to figure out how to root, it's awfully complicated for someone without much experience in programming.

Yea until the one touch arrives a lot will not be able to. Also I believe the factory reset was key for you

 

[asuprice]

Can some of you guys define your heavy use? How long is your display on?

 

[Manny05]

yea i have actually. thats why i am probably gonna buy a battery case, or a bigger battery.

 

[snilloconator]

I'm at 5 hours 31 minutes since unplug and I have 60% battery left... Is this average? I may be getting more than six just haven't really tested it. Although I haven't used it as much today.

Figure id put my 2 cents in since ive been using this phone more than my computer. Its been midterms week for me which is why i havent been posting much. I have been using my phone A LOT and this is what my day usually looks like:

first off, things constantly running in the background:
Pulse
Facebook
pageonce
News
Sense widgets
words with friends
Gmail
Corporate Email
--------
phone goes off the charger at 7am
------
I use pulse for all my tech news quite often through the day
I respond to all my emails
I send about 100 texts a day
Talk on the phone about 1 hour a day
Im on facebook chat quite a bit
Using a downloaded calculator app for physics and calculus (use for about 3-4 hours in a day)
During my 30 min lunch break, I play jet car stunts (super addictive)
Im constantly playing my coworkers in words with friends
Down load about 1-2 apps a day
take a few pictures here and there and send them to facebook
I use the ultimate guitar app + (cant remember the name of the app that opens up guitar pro files)to practice guitar and play some songs
I use pandora for about an hour when im working out
EDIT: forgot to add running speeds tests through out the day
---
phone goes on the charger at about midnight
-------------
the last 2 days of doing that, ive landed at about 30% left (each day)
