Is there a maximum call duration limit on the G1?
Ok sometimes when im talking to my girl I fall asleep on the phone with her and have noticed that lately my phone hangs up the call at around 1 hr and 50 min. It has been doing this ever since I updated to haykuros latest rom. Before that I had JF RC33 and it would hang up at exactly 4hrs everytime. When my girl had a G1 she had the stock RC30 and it would hang up at 54 min everytime.
My question is has anyone else noticed a max call duration before your phone automatically hangs up or is it just me. Could it have to do with the radio updates?

Maybe she's the one hanging up? Seriously though, your girlfriend talks to much if she can blather on for hours without any input from you.
The radio has problems where it drops your call. It's a normal glitch.

Really? I regularly call my parents and have conversations over an hour (sometimes 2) long and have never experienced any "bug" with the radio. From OTA pre-sale all the way to today.

My phone hangs up if I'm on hold too long. Pretty sure it's a safegaird thing so you don't burn up all your minute by accident.
Ps I think its tmo, not the phone.
T-Mobile shuts your call off after 4 hours, so maybe the call is just dropping, or you drooled on the hang up button

Hi,
Im a little confused regarding this one. My buddy says that it displays in degrease or something but the seconds is fine and the minutes are fine but the ring for hours is nowhere near where it would be for 2pm.
Is something wrong?

Maybe you should wash your hands before using your phone?
nvm, seems as if people either don't care or won't believe it.
Too bad the automatic assumption with that screen is it won't work well on battery life. Still worth it for that great phone.
not to say that his isnt possible because i think it could be. i would have liked to see the other screen because mine says right now up 108 hours awake time 30 hours.. when u hit battery use it'll say how long it was unplugged for.
nvm, seems as if people either don't care or won't believe it.
93 hours ?!??? !??? ! whaaaaaaaaat

Hey I believe you. I was able to pull off 40 hours on a stock rom with actually 1 hour of the screen on, and I still had 30% left.
very impressive! it makes my 11-15 hour days look rather crappy lol
From what I have learned, the up time and what not is how long your phone has been up without a restart. Not how long you have had it for a single charge.

my point exactly the next screen when you hit "battery use" is the actual uptime since it has been unplugged .. if that were the case i could be like i just got 108hours of battery life and still going i'll believe it you get 90+ hours since unplugged
So if I turn everything off and put the phone asleep and not use it, it will last 90+ hours?
Am I understanding this right? If so whats the point? My phone isn't much fun or use when its asleep

Just charge the phone, kill all the apps, leave it under the bed and come back in a week. It should work.
Seriously whats the deal of the 90 something hrs?? Go get a car battery and maybe you get a month of non-stopping usage.

Hahaha. I believe it and think it's cool, and its good research. People are so nasty in this forum.
Yes you wouldn't want to use these exact settings and not use the phone much to get 90 hrs of battery life, but this is RESEARCH that can help us figure out what settings do or don't help battery life. If he used the phone a bit it might last a day and a half, or 2 days.

Has nothing to do with people not caring or believing it. Was just the picture you posted as your "proof" was a meaningless one, just as many have mentioned. Example; Look at Danon.Brown's pictures...if we go by what you posted, we see he has 108 plus hours of usage when in he's only been unplugged for seconds. Great you got your 90 plus hours on it...but what about the time actually unplugged and usage the phone has seen? If one does nothing but let the phone sit idle...it's easy to get 2 plus days out of a charge.

Can you post system panel screenshots?
I'm at 19 1/2 hours right now with 30% battery left and I thought that was pretty good (couple hours of robo defense, couple hours of web browsing, a bunch of movie trailers on Flixter, hour or so of music, a bunch of texts and a couple calls from my mom). Getting nearly 93 hours out of this phone just seems a little difficult to believe under normal use. But then again, maybe I just have more work to do.

I can get my phone to idle at an average loss of 2% per hour with wifi and phone radios on. I see this as completely plausible with minimal use and still being able to receive phone calls texts and emails.

if you're using set cpu to 200mhz that is probably a factor as well, doesnt the phone sleep at 100mhz stock?

I think they put 450 hours because they know no one is going to go 19 days without at least turning on their screen, which would invalidate the test
Maybe if I put my phone in airplane mode and deleted all the homescreens and prevented anything from starting up, it might last that long.

Since the JI6 update, battery life does suck. But "slightly better than a G1"?
Riight.
After reverting to the JI2 radio, I can believe it. I get about 6% loss each night with syncing and wifi polling turned on.
Turn off syncing. Disable wifi. uninstall setCPU. never turn the phone on. I could see getting 450 hours.
So I was looking over that link...did anyone else notice the part:
"Create your own content with the 5.0MP camera/camcorder with autofocus, 3D sound, LED flash, 720p HD video recording and expandable memory up to 32GB."
My Vibrant doesn't have an LED flash. Not sure why they would advertise that.
According to my last few tests i'm getting about 350 hours of standby with my phone on:

i'm sure if i didn't have a bunch of stuff installed i could get 400+ under perfect circumstances.

450 hours under the most ideal circumstances (ie wifi off, cellular locked onto a single tower, not moving, screen off the entire time, no background sync).
Under real-world usage that's not even close of course, but if you're going to fault the vibrant/galaxys on this, then you need to fault every other manufacturer which tests under the exact same circumstances.
The fact that you're bringing this topic up indicates that you believe the GalaxyS isn't accurate and some other phone specs are more accurate.
LOL. 6.5 hrs. talk time with screen ON?!!!
Such BS!
My stock JI6 Vibrant lasts 12 hrs. with fairly light use: less than 10 minutes of talk, occasional email checking (4 accounts). My international Galaxy S was the same.
My wife's iPhone 3Gs sees a little more talk time, yet usually lasts three times longer.
On JI2 my Vibrant was getting about 15-16hrs. Still crappy, but closer to getting me through the day.
I reality you can store your Li battery in a fridge at 60 or so % and it will loose just a tiny bit over a month
What exactly does "sync" do for my gmail account? Would having it sync "updates only" prevent me from getting mail immediately, or is it only syncing contacts and calendar?
Just curious if I can turn those off to save some battery.

450 hours under unrealistic circumstances.
I just expect my phone to be as advertised.
450hrs/100% battery standby mode means 9 hours of sleep [who sleeps that much?], we should lose about 2% battery.
But instead like this post:

WITH THE ALL SIGNALS OFF... i think we have an issue.
I believe Galaxy S isn't accurate, and they aren't accurate.
I love my phone, and I don't complain... and haven't complained.
Just pointing out the false advertisement.
I'm not really complaining either. I'm not under any contractual obligation and I paid cash for my Vibrant. If I wanted a different phone on a different carrier, I'd have it. That doesn't mean I'm not going to tweak things here and there, experiment, and load custom ROMS + kernels to get the most out of it, including battery. Advertised talk/standby times have always been a joke; from all manufacturers.
Today my nexus one has been running for 261 hours, that's 11 days without rebooting it. Still going strong and smooth as ever.
I've done this test many times but always lose track cause it goes so long.
What's the longest running time you've had?
3 days for me. I try to re-boot every night though.
193 hrs and counting, I never kept track, but can't remember rebooting more often than once every 1-2 wks.
542 hrs and counting....
right now it's 162:36:07...08...09...10...11....
I don't think I've ever gone 200+ hours mainly because it's like a computer... after a while, a nice reboot helps!
think about it... CPU, RAM, ROM, Wifi/BT/3G Chip ... gotta give it a nice reboot once in a while!
Now if I had a Nexus S, my biggest uptime would be 10-15 minutes... what's with all those stories of it rebooting in the middle of calls???
Only 48 hrs, since I power down almost every night.
1097.3 hours. 45 days, 17 hours, 18 seconds. I finally found up rebooting it to upgrade from Enom 2.12.x to 2.14.x
I don't have the screenshot I made a while back, due to some dumbassery on the count of Dropbox adding a new PC and deciding it was the share to sync against; ie: nuking all of my Dropbox files, but anywho.... Uptime widget on my phone still has that as the max.
23d 5h at the moment..
I don't see any performance differences so why bother rebooting it.
EDIT: Aha, interesting, I did add an image here in a post of 44 days, a day or so before I rebooted.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9327323&postcount=730
Currently I have 642 hours but I had more.
Usually I only reboot due to upgrades or power loss.
I guess Gingerbread will break the next update...

If you do want the normal battery life just turn off the data connection. My test I did last week turned my nexus one into a normal running phone just by doing this. Went 7 hours at work, with 1 hour of screen on time, and was still at 85%.
If I'm going out and need long battery life I'll just turn off the data, then check once in a while for new emails etc.
The whole reason android phones get poor battery is because the OS keeps an always on data connection. Even switching to WiFi shoots battery life way up.

You can *generally* flash a nightly update without wiping all your data. Backup just to be safe, flash - if it works, great. If not, set your stuff up. If you don't have time for that, just flash back to the backup. Easy

Could also use an application like JuiceDefender or Tasker to automatically toggle data at set intervals. This way you still get regular updates (emails, messages, etc), but at a fraction of the battery expense.
Loving this update even more. Yesterday installed update and usually my phone would drain 3-5% each hour not in use but today. My phone was stuck at 98% when I came back from 2 1/2hr meeting, I was amazed.
Also noticed the startup sound is now muted when in silent. It wasn't a big deal before but nice change.
Camera appears to be a little more snappier as well .
Verizon did really good with this update. Droid Turbo is really turning into perfect phone imo. Now we await Lollipop.

CDMA is a fallback if you lose LTE. Sounds like tower trouble in your area.
I had full 4G here before update...after I get this! If I turn off WiFi..I basically can't use my phone! BTW I just did a factory reset and cleared cache..
It sounds like you are having tower issues in your area.
i noticed before the patch when i took my phone off charger it would drop to 99% battery right away, now it actually takes a bit before it drops.
this seemed to be a legit patch for little bug fixes.
The battery seems a little better for me too.

what doesnt seem right? that looks normal if u want to look at your screen on time tap on the screen line and it will give u how long the screen was on in between charges.
So 1 hr and 20 min left on battery seems right with a 20% usage for cell standby?

Battery drain isn't linear and drain slows as you get further into the battery.
Were you expecting it to stay at 100% for 15 hours or something?
Maybe I am not understanding what the screen is telling me 100%. I took it to mean that there is only approx 1 hr and 20 min left on the battery? Is that not correct?
With regards to the cell standby and other things using the battery, my assumption was that 20% battery usage by the cell standby was rather high. In searching online, I have seen people post that it should be around 11%. Is this not accurate?
Thank you for the help!
it means you've been off the charger for 1hr and 20 minutes and used 5% battery. As to standby time it's hard for me to say as I haven't updated and heard it's gotten better.
