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.
Thanks for checking things out, don't let the haters bring you down.

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.

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

Getting my 1600mAh and 2800mAh batteries from Seidio today though, so the counter is gonna reset again ;(

With those new batteries how much longer can you expect to be able to use it say with standard use?

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.

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.

That's 100% impossible.
If you just wanna see my tips then skip over the next few paragraphs lol!
Hi! I am not sure if this exactly has been posted already, or if it's common knowledge and I am just slow lol, but the last couple days I found out how to maximize the battery life on my phone by (imho) a huge amount. And I wanted to share with the community.
So before I did this, I'd generally get maybe six to eight hours of uptime before the battery was critically low. This was really frustrating because by the time I got home from work my phone would be almost dead. So I'd charge it in my car for a little bit, but then when I went out I'd have to turn off Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, brightness all the way down etc. just to have enough battery to survive the night.
But now I managed to get 18-24 hours out of a single charge, without having to manually touch the settings too too much (GPS/Bluetooth when I need them.) Now I think a lot of this depends on your personal usage, but for me this worked great. And here is how I did it:
1. Disabling/making less frequent updates in apps. For me this was Twidroid, Facebook, and NewsRob. I realized that I keep notifications off for these apps (I don't need to see a notification everytime someone I follow tweets you know?) and that even when they were all set to auto-refresh every 30 minutes or whatever, I STILL always hit refresh when I went in anyway. So I disable automatic updating. Obviously this depends on your usage, but for me, I didn't need up to the minute social networking information, and manually refresh anyway. But I went through all my apps that updated automatically and changed the setting.
2. Task Killing. In a perfect world, Android would efficiently manage it's own app load, but unfortunately the world isn't perfect. I found that if I know I'm going to be putting my phone down for a while, take a second and kill all the runnings apps. I use Astro, but there are countless apps that can do this for you. This is something I don't do frequently, but for example, if I'm going to go to bed and I don't have my charger, but want my phone on in case of an emergency, I'll kill all the running apps.
3. Brightness. After weeks of changing it back and forth because I don't really love the way it auto adjusts, I just said f**k it and put in auto. While sometimes the level of brightness it selects seems a little whack, it's definitely saved battery life. And saves me the trouble of changing it myself. I also found that setting the timeout to 15 seconds seemed to improve battery life.
4. Juice Defender. You can find this app on the marketplace. It has two modes, easy and advanced. If you want, you can go into the advanced and set schedules and all kinds of stuff. But for me, I just went into easy and hit enable. From what I understand, what this does is that if the screen is off, it disables network access for 14 minutes, turns it back on for 1, then off again for 14 etc. So, something like Gmail which is push will only be able to access the network every 15 minutes. Unless you are on WiFi. Now, if you NEED push e-mail and don't have WiFi, this isn't a very good solution. But according the stats in the app itself this has given me a 99% increase in battery life, and I believe it.
5. The trackball. This is perhaps the weirdest of my findings. The trackball light apparently can DESTROY the battery life. The other morning at around 80% I let my alarm on the phone go off and didn't stop it, so the trackball was flashing really fast. Without a couple hours the phone was completely dead. Nuts right? So I found that if I disable the trackball light when I know that I won't be able to dismiss my notifications quickly (like in a meeting or sleeping or whatnot) I'm able to avoid this happening.
6. GPS/Bluetooth. Again, this might seem very case specific, but I use bluetooth ONLY with my rokr headset when I'm on campus at night, and I use GPS only for navigation. So I keep the off when I'm not using them. With the power strip widget this isn't very difficult.
Anyway, that's it really. Like I said, maybe this is all common knowledge and I am just stupid haha. But I figured if not, I was pretty thrilled to go from 6 hours to 24 hours without having to do too much. BTW, some weird things I found didn't have an effect as much as I thought they would - 2g/3g, I actually got MORE battery life when I had 3g enabled. And WiFi was the same way, even when I didn't have a wifi connection, the difference in life with having it on or off was negligible.
Anyway, I hope this is helpful! If I remember anything else I'll add it.
I really like this guide and I'm going to use it when I get my n1. I like all (and will try) of the steps except #5.. the trackball notifications is just too sweet to ever turn off imo. Thanks for the guide.
I'm really surprised to hear that your LED light in the trackball destroyed your battery life
I don't bother killing apps anymore. Since they're not in focus their not using the CPU so whats the point. (right?)
I dont have rubbish notifications on either, nor bluetooth/GPS unless needed. Ive got auto brightness on too.... might try juicedefender in future actually, it does sound good.
So what did you triple your battery life from anyway... 12 hours?

48 is on the high side of things... I usually go to bed with about 40% remaining, and put it on the charger overnight... I get up at 8AM and go to bed around 12AM. So I am getting about 26 hours out of mine.
Edit:
Accidently typed in 36 when I meant to type 26. Fixed.
I have a noob question, which this forum is how I get most of my N1 knowledge...
Which uses up more battery life, 3G or wifi?
Thanks to whoever replies.. (my best guess would be 3G)

Which is still a lot. I'd really like to know how you are doing this. Do you make any voice calls? Do you text/e-mail a lot? Watch videos? Browse the web? Play music etc.?
I mean my usage is based on maybe an hour a day of talking on the phone, and a few hundred text messages, maybe a couple e-mails, frequent twitter/Facebook updates, and maybe a couple hours a day of playing games, watching videos, reading news etc.
I imagine if I just left the phone there it'd be close to 26-30 hours, but not with regular use.

Erm, this is not correct, is it?
The whole point of multitasking means things still carry on when not in focus. If you leave everything running, they will all try and use data and CPU cycles, no?
Some nice suggestions there c0wb0ycliche! Thanks.
A couple of other thoughts/suggestions...
1. In the choices of kernels, pershoots is regarded as being excellent with battery life (partly from being undervolted I imagine) and the fact it's also overclocked at the same time ain't so bad either.
2. Not sure how much extra juice is saved by not using a Live Wallpaper, but if we're talking about battery savings here it might as well be said.
I would not be surprised if a large majority of people who get 25+ hrs hook onto wifi networks for a majority of the data usage. When switching to wifi the phone steps down to 2g mode for phone services.

Good point, has anyone mentioned SetCPU? If you set up a profile, it will lower your clock speed to 300mhz while the screen is off. Saves quite a bit of power.

Looking forward to this release! At work I have a hard time charging my phone. Getting notifications all day and being able to use the phone normally is great but I am work for over 8 hours. If I can click a widget and reduce battery drain while I am not using it....awesome! I can always press the widget to restore when I want to view back to normal. I can see how this would be useless to most, but this gives me the ability to use the phone for that 8 hours and not have the phone die before I get home.
I dont get why anyone would trade a great looking for screen for a unicolor one just for one more day of battery life.....

well you would get that battery life if your degrading your cpu to Hero standards, lollol
Im overclocking on CM6's standard pershoot .34 kernel and im getting a day always, i take it off charge at 8am and when i get home around 7pm its at about 20-30 percent... And that is proper heavy use, I watch video's on the way to work, mp3, browsing, the phone is actually an extension of my bod lol
I think this is the norm if you want to have the super phone you paid for, and not underclock it and undervolt it into T-mobile pulse territory, lol

Those replying this is stupid need not bother in this thread any long I guess.
For me, usually my battery lasts long enough, but at the same time, the time I might need it would be I've finished my work day and just found I'm not going home to charge it but need to go elsewhere, or like yesterday I had to stay at work and my N1 was needed, but I couldn't charge. When you realise you need to stretch your battery life, you want to know what you should change to extend it. This is just another of those options. It will be useful to have for emergencies.
I for one would like to see this added as an option. As stated in certain cases it could be very useful to be able to use the phone with screen on and lower the battery drain.

I know why my battery drains. I know what apps I am running and I can keep track of all that. I have chosen all my own apps and run what I want/need during that 8 hours. No work around other than turning off those apps. What is the point then? Keep my battery lasting longer but not enjoy the phone and all its purposes? I could always just turn my phone off. No apps running then. Like I said, this would not apply to very many users out there, but not all users are in my situation.

My exact intentions bro. Wanna keep the phone for the sake of development, and testing. Anything to make my evo and anyone elses better. Since I don't know how to develop, figured I could contribute this way.
here is something I would like to see..
turn off all radios and auto updates.. anything that makes the evo work when nothing is happening.
charge it to full..
and let it sit till it dies.
how long does it really last?
That will be cool

My daughter plugged the phone in, so it reset the battery time. But last I checked it was this morning, 5 days and a few hours battery time with about 25% remaining. Unbelievable... I'm gonna give it a shot again. I'll keep you posted.
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...
how...
on...
earth...... what?
I am happy if i get 40 hours without hardly touching it! What the hell are you guys doing? data off all the time?

I believe there talking about on time not battery life.
My longest was a week needed it as an alarm clock in vacation. Usually I do a power cycle every morning.
Thanks to MicroMod's gingerbread updates I get maximum a week before I flash a new version.

My best ( http://users.uptimeprj.com/xpatriick/en/ ) was "just" 16 days and 2 hours. Could've been longer but I'm almost always updating to the latest ROMs except during these 16 days
You people obviously don't run nightly. lol

Nope, I use my phone for real stuff, not for playing with random roms
If I had a secondary Android phone, perhaps... Like I know lots of folks who play with their G1 or such with nightlies, but I can't imagine doing it on my normal phone. I need to use it. And who has the time to set up stuff every time...
24 hours at max and yes i use my phone for calling and stuff too much. Regularly its around 6 hours

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.
