I just crossed the 350 hour mark and shooting for 1000 hours of uptime. This started as an experiment to see how long it would take without a reboot for the phone to slow down. So far, it's still running as fast as it typically does after a reboot.
How about you guys? I think I'm going to try and see if I can hit a month without rebooting.
I'm at the 250 hour mark now and the only reason it's not higher is because I've run it completely dry of battery a couple of times
edit:
Getting my 1600mAh and 2800mAh batteries from Seidio today though, so the counter is gonna reset again ;(
Iam on 380 hours of uptime in writing moment

With those new batteries how much longer can you expect to be able to use it say with standard use?
Mine lasts a full day mostly so far. Just curious.

I didn't look at mine. I normally don't have uptime of more than 24 hours since I frequently have to reboot to check the function of my morphs.
I've had about 280 before. Since I've rooted though, there's a bug in the superboot that I've done that wrecks the phone every other day or so. Something with memory card access. I'm trying to find a rock-solid ROM with himem and root. Speaking of that, suggestions?

This is the wrong thread for that, but I'd suggest trying all of them and testing yourself. That's part of the fun.
305 hours, had to reboot due to sms/signal issues.
Once and a while I will have service but will be unable to send sms. Weird.

(I'm not speaking of stability here, but for those of trying new things we're always flashing )
I'm currently at 117 hours on Modaco's Desire Alpha10
Personally I'd say anything over 1 week (168 hours) is just awesome for me.

A little off-topic but ok. It's just simple math really, the standard battery is 1400mAh. The 1600mAh would therefore last 14% longer and the 2800mAh battery would last twice as long as the 1400mAh battery.
I'm at 630 hours right now. Probably the most I have seen it at but yeah, I don't really check that much. Do I win a prize?

Can't you plug it into the wall jack so that you don't loose power while changing the battery? I can do this with my tilt. My previous phone had a switch on the battery door that shut it off. I'm not sure about the N1.

without doing anything new my battery time just droped off the face of the earth.. its down about 75%. i was getting a full day mixed use now all of a suden im getting 6-8 hours with just a few phone calls.
my awake time is at 16%
I havent done anything new that i can think of.
im using (and have been for awhile) the mugen 1800 extended battery.
trying to think what might be doing it and cant come up with anything i havnt found in the forums already.
you probably downloaded some app that is running in the background continuously. check with a task manager to see what's running, and then try uninstalling some recent apps to test it out.
thats what i was thinking but i cant find anything new running with the task manager

Could just be a bad battery? I'm having same problem, maybe worse with stock battery. I went from 100% down to 15 in like 5 hours just reading my RSS feeds every hour or so. I think I may have fried my battery using it to tether for excessively long periods.
You're not using your phone to tether are you?
Mine is way down this week too. Initially I thought it was Swype, but not so sure anymore because no other users are reporting problems.
Are you using Modaco's rom and kernel ? or any new kernel for that matter? Ever since I switched kernels my battery hasn't made it through the day.

No I'm not.. Turned a few more newer apps off and still no good today.. I was at 5% batt left after 9 hours with about 10 minutes web browsing (not wifi) 4 or 5 text messages and about 45 minutes talk time. That's down about 90% from were I was a week ago .
I managed to narrow my problem down to the Taskiller widget. Removed the widget (still running the app full time) and all is well.
Last night I rolled back to before I used a custom Kernel. I rather battery life over speed. I need my phone to last from 6am to at the very least 7pm. I think once people get over the performance boost, we'll see a lot more posts relating to battery issues.

might be that too, i hope not as i love that keyboard. just having it installed shouldn't drain the battery, should it? im on day 2 with the custom kernel and i too noticed more battery drain. at 1pm my hero was fully charged. i only played a bit with the phone and made two short calls and it's down to 86% already at 4pm. i want to roll back but i do like the speed of the new kernel. ill see how it does tonight.

Yeah going back to regular input sucks. Swype was only some leaked beta version, we don't really have right to complain; however, I bet their end product will be much better. I just hope they'll release it as an app and not as part of custom Android phone so we can get it sooner.
figured I woud resurect this thread rather than start a new one.
yesterday I decided to RUU my phone to pull the completely stock apks out of it. after I did that I restored my backup of fresh 1.1 with gbhils kernel and now I am at 90% awake time spare parts shows that "android system" as something keeping it awake. any suggestions on what this could be? could it have something to do with restoring the back up with the kernel over stock without a wipe?
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.

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.
*facepalm* @ some of these replies
Uptime: 2hours 27minutes and x amount of seconds and dead.
did I break the record for stress testing it?
Anyways, anyone got any tips on battery life? I was thinking of getting 3000mah or 3500mah, but the design of it (bulky) just doesn't seem the right option in my mind.
Also anyone here actually have the 3000mah or 3500mah so they can chime in on the design + battery life compared to the original?
just powered the phone back up. and it says battery is at 50%. wtf.
It turned off on its own cause of low battery, and now it says 50%?
E-gad the ghost recharge strikes again.
I had the same thing happen this morning. Woke up to a dead phone, plugged in, boot ed and battery showed around 70%... Go figure

Battery may not be calibrated correctly. I have to say my only major disappointment with the EVO is how the battery life is so tied to the particular rom I'm using. I mean I expect different drain rates on different roms, but having to recalibrate the battery every time I switch roms is just plain dumb.

It used to work for me, but now it is doing the same thing. Im at 1.76 now but for the past week it was stuck on 1.00, then slowly went up with each flash.
just a quick update. The reason the battery showed empty one minute and then it showed 50% the next was because of the heat. The phone was very hot when I was playing with it, and then when it cooled down it seemed to have fixed itself or w/e. Happened again today.
im sure its been answered..but how do we calibrate the battery?
Pretty sure you can erase the battery stats through clockwork recovery. Also there is a way through ADB which is pretty easy too
Sorry I don't have any links atm.
Just wanted to point out, without evidence yet, that battery life on Nougat (Concept update 38.3.A.0.107) is amazing. I'm talking about days here.
¿Anyone else experiencing this?
As for the evidence, I will charge my phone to 100% today and upload a battery life screencap as soon as I can.
What? I need that firmware! My battery goes from 80 to 70 in 5 minutes On screen time!!!
Hi,
Just a quick update with a screenshot. Just 2h short of a day with 14% to go, the mostly horizontal part of the graph happened when I was asleep.
SOT for that is 3h13m

I am in desperate need of help, I've only had this phone for like a week and I really like it but the battery life is abysmal. I'm getting less than an hour of screen on time, the phone is using about 10% per hour when in my pocket.
I've done the factory reset, deleting everything, downloaded greenify and absolutely no progress has been made.
Phone Idle and Android OS is sucking up about 20% of my battery. For the first couple of days I was getting about 2 hours of SOT and that's the best I've gotten so far. I just bought this thing and I really want to keep it but I can't afford to have this thing dying on me when it's just in my pocket don't nothing. Please ANY help would be appreciated, thank you!

Seems to me you may have a flawed device? 2 hours sot at best with a new device and new battery is horrendous, I have the T-Mobile variant as well, was refurbished and I'm getting a solid 15 hours with anywhere from 3.5-5 hours sot!

I just bought this thing and I really want to keep it but I can't afford to have this thing dying on me when it's just in my pocket don't nothing. Please ANY help would be appreciated, thank you!

You could try getting an extended battery for it. It worked for mine. I recommend the Zerolemon 10,000mah extended battery. You can find it on Amazon.

That would mask the problem, not fix it. He would then probably get 2 hours of screen on time when he should be getting 6-7 with an extended battery.

He could just have a faulty battery. Which is what was wrong with mine.

Yeah every once in a while I get "Invalid Battery" and it shuts down and I have to leave the battery out for 10 minutes or else it will do the same thing. It's happened 3 times in the past week. Did you have the same problems and it was fixed with a new battery? I don't get it tho the battery is OEM...

Is the battery new, is your phone refurbished, water damaged battery? Old battery in New phone? Something is up with your battery it sounds like. Would be the easiest thing to replace and test. It could be the phone itself having a hard time receiving the charge (faulty pins)

I would think the SOT would show this, not Android OS or Phone Idle right?

Yeah that's a good point! It's not an app because you factory reset, defective device is all I can think

The phone was new for sure, but the battery was already installed in the phone when I opened the box. Is that normal? I watched a couple unboxing videos and they had the battery separate.
