Help What is doing my battery in?

[RussWWFC]

I've had OK battery life up till today, not spectacular but it gets me through the day. But today, it's all gone kaput. I did install Widget Locker yesterday but I can't see it being that.

Stats are

9h51 Unplugged - Down to 6%
Android OS 77%
CPU running for 5h 16m 30s - why?

Uninstall the app I had a similar problem. Last Tuesday i installed a heart monitor app to see if it worked [not good ha ha ] and swype for texting [very good] i thought swype would be the one to drain the battery as it might be using more cpu power but as i want to keep this app i tried getting rid of the monitor app hoping this might help. Charged the phone, next day back to normal charge lasted all day with 40% left. so swype does not drain battery with monitor installed battery was down to 40% by 1pm and 15% at 5pm and out of power by 6pm.

Hi Guys, give this a try, original source is XDA developers, The Desire Hd in the only android phone so far which i have come across which does not have This enabled by default.

If you find your HTC Desire running slow, laggy, or a bit sluggish, then it's most likely related to the /init issue as identified on the XDA forums. The /init process kicks in and consumes around 80-90% of the CPU constantly making it laggy to swipe, gallery very slow and jerky for most actions. This is easy to identify by running a process manager like Watchtower which will reveal this. Restarting the phone resolves this for a few hours or maybe even a day.

On your phone go to..
Menu/settings/applications/development/now turn on Usb debugging..

After doing this, wait aprox 10 secs, and your phone should be much more responsive.
You should also get a longer batt life and this should stop android sys in its tracks and put everything back to normal.

Any Feedback would be great. Thanks

Hi

Check to make sure that USB debugging is still switched ON. I forget what caused it but I dowloaded something that switched this back off and my OS was taking up well over 50% of my battery when before it would be only about 3%.
