so...hows your batter life? how much free ram do you have?

i bought my hero last week and ive been playing with it and installing alot of apps and such along with different roms testing the speed and overall battery life. right now im running fresh 1.1 rom and several apps from the market. the thing runs really fast and the battery life is amazing. it went all day yesterday and all last night and just now its at 29%. and this is with moderate use!
i do have a question though, how much free ram is normal for this phone. i see with all of my apps and such i have about 75-85% free when i use task killer. and yes my apps are on the sd!
also what would you guys recommend for a extended battery. i don't want a huge one that will require another back cover. just one that's a higher capacity.
edit: just a FYI, don't install the antivirus app from the market, it is a HUGE battery killer. i know we don't need the app but i wanted to test it out.

first read this. as far as your memory goes istalling and testing all those apps have you cleared out your cache recently? As even though the apps are on the SD they still store the cache on internal.

I'll second nixing the task killer. I was a skeptic at first, but I sacked the task killer and took note over the next two days. Much better WITHOUT the task killer.

Yup. Very happy with speed and reliability. Can't imagine why I ever needed a task killer.

Battery is way better than I expected. I play with my hero all day, browser internet, youtube watch, check email, download apps. The phone still has 20% more battery. And the memory control is good. I used to use taskkiller. But now I don't use it anymore. I don't turn off hero for 3 or 4 days, app runs quickly. But the Android system has to improve. It could be better.

Same here. Battery life is pretty good. Quit using a task killer and the phone is running great. If you have Astro or ES File Explorer installed they have a task manager/killer built in that you can use if you REALLY think you need to kill something.
Battery. There is a thread in the Sprint HTC Hero section on androidforums about a replacement battery that is higher capacity but fits with the stock battery cover. Everybody seems to love it.
It won't let me post a link to it, but you can go to androidforums.com and go to the Sprint HTC Hero section and search for Mugen Battery 1800mAh.

X10 Battery solution, Helix Launcher

The Helix launcher, the solution to the problems with the battery of the X10.
I think the main problem of the X10's battery consumption is the original launcher, which should have a process that stays resident and eats the battery.
With the Helix launcher, I managed to go from 12/14 hours of battery life up to 36 hours!

is that with your wifi on?

dude, what version of it are you using?

where can I found Helix Launcher for X10?

Correct you want HelixLauncherDonut.
I'm trying it now, I can get about 16 hours with moderate use on standard Home.

Best Regards

I debranded my fone to R1fa016 hoping to address the battery problem.. it started hopeful but went downhill after..
My standard usage waz switchin 3g on when needed, wifi at home here and there, bluetooth off, gps off unless needed and it used to last only like 10-13hrz.
However i saw option on wifi settings to never sleep and after seein mixed reviews online i thought id try it and i must say im really impressed..
Yesterday, i used 3g for bout an hr, a few quick callz, some msgz, about 2hrz of listenin to music and random phone usage from 11.30am to around half 1 in mornin today and battery waz around 70%.. then used wifi after for about hr n half and i happen to knock off cause i waz tired so wifi waz stil runnin til 11.30am and ma battery was at 45%.
I dnt like low battery so i charged it extra 20minz before I went work which brought battery life upto 62%. Today ive used about 2hrz of 3g, 3hrz of music, alot of callz n msgz and writing this long ass essay lolz and im down to 7%
Im happy with my new battery life.. and sorry 4 the boring essay but hope it helps!

Battery update, 2 hours standby, 99%

what exactly is this app, where do i configure its settings? does it run on top of my other home screen?

It's an alternative home app with more features. Download the donut version from http://anonym.to/?http://helixproject.ruqqq.sg/, install and then when you press home choose Helix. Ideally set as default then reset the phone to make sure you have the default home unloaded.

cool, I've played around with it, pretty neat, will it really help battery life if i put more home screens and running widgets?

It could do. The theory is the default home is bugged and drains battery. If Helix works better then it should use virtually no CPU when idle. A buggy widget could drain battery just as easily, but if you use more homescreens then the only difference should be in RAM usage I think.

guys, how to I get it onto my x10?

Download the application from here: Helix Launcher Donut 1.2, Put it anywhere on your sd card. Download a program such as astro that can install .apk files. Open astro, find the helix launcher in it and tap it. Select install.

this is really saving my battery, very little battery drain after 8 hours!

No I do not and I recommend everyone I know uninstall them.
I am using baked snacks 1.7 with the pre-loaded kernel running manup's theme and minfree manager on aggressive settings.
I had ninety percent this morning at five thirty and at five this evening I was at ten percent. That is with moderate usage while at work.

Just wondering what others are using or not using...

Task Killers are no good.
I uninstall the stuff I don't want and use "autostarts" to manage when the stuff I do want gets started.
No need for task killers when a) you prevent the apps from starting in the first place and b) they don't work anyways.

Yeah that sounds right. It was a paid app but very cheap. The icon is a little red car..
Also, spelled exactly: "autostarts", there is only one on the market.
It's a great app, a little tedious to set up but once you get it set it's a big help.
When you open it it will run and show you all the conditions that would start an app (not just at startup) and you can prevent, for example, photobucket from running every time you take a picture.

autostarts is not a task killer, it prevents apps from being started in the first place.

I quit using a task killer, my battery life didn't seem to change. I easily get 12 hours with moderate usage. I don't have a problem getting through a work day without charging. Stock Evo 2.2
Edit: I got my nephew to take his task killers off his MOTO Droid 2.2 and he said he's getting better battery life. He had juice defender and automatic task killer and advanced task killer

The combination of Autostarts and Juice Defender net me over 24 hours off the charger with moderate to heavy use. I never chose to not use my phone in order to preserve battery, unless I'm below 10%.

I'm a heavily user and manage to get atleast 4 hours.. but as juice defender which I did use and did help if you didn't use your phone, I just used the data widget and manually turn data off before I shut my phone off. I turn it back on if I use a app that uses data. Not a big hassel its a 1 click thing. Unclicked background data and auto-sync and notice the same or better than juice. The only thing I notice so far foe background data is market used it. I turn data on and open email and it syncs. My input on juice. Atk is a no no in my books.

I thought Android 2.2 removed the API that task killers use to kill apps?

The only things I use is the Running Services if something isn't closing, or SystemPanel, other then that, no task killers.. I use to all the time until I learned they really don't do anything.

Not anymore, I do keep an eye on system panel though.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I use ATK but only manually after I am done using an app. No point in keeping them in memory if I'm not going to be using it, I also leave the services alone and uninstall anything that likes to autostart. For battery life I regularly get 12 hours with fairly heavy usage for about four or five hours. That's streaming pandora, or using the music app, over bluetooth while browsing the web or reading the news. If I don't use it but for calls and some texts it will usually last a day or two.
Stock de-odexed ROM with Netarchy's 4.1.9 CFS kernel.

I'm almost positive that anyone running froyo is getting nothing out of using a task killer. Google axed the ability for these types of apps to work properly in 2.2. They are nothing more than a waste of cpu cycles and battery.

fine. 3 months old ... so what?.. i thought it was funny. i just bought my phone (AGAIN) after the first time i bought it when it had 1.6. and now i have the x10i with 2.1 (and dualbooting into 2.2).
and NO... your facts are very wrong. the galaxyS battery lasts MUCH MUCH longer. i have both devices in my pocket. my intentions were to hand the galaxyS to the wife and keep the SE/X10 ... side by side the galaxyS (sad to say) is much faster, better battery and yet still. i have installed froyo 2.2 and am dual booting on the X10. guess what? 2.2 while still alpha is faster/better and just better to use.
this goes to show what? SE just loads the phone with crap software that hinders the phone and makes it look bad.

Good to hear your Galaxy lasts more than your X10, but that's YOUR device. Many here have their X10 going for two days and more with constant usage.

Thanks for the response.
I am still diving in the X10 forums and as you know there are 3 important sections each having threads that last go beyond 30 pages. The search function doesn't help sometimes.
I personally believe my stock rom maybe the issue. still hunting for a good custom 2.1 rom thats somewhat customized.
if you can point out some tips / links to how i can achieve this "2 day" mark you talk about i would be grateful.
Thanks!

If you went to developers section you can find a topic named "2.1 optimizer V002" by jerpelea
Or something like that it's on the first page of the section so you don't have to search for it
Basically it cleans all unnecessary apps and installs JIT to increase the performance as well
I can't link it as I'm using my phone so my apology to that

i've done the optimizer cleanup and jit. (steps 1 and 2). there were other stuff like TEST scripts but i skipped those.
Any other tips?

Try using normal wallpaper instead of live wallpaper, use wifi at home, install juice plotter and enable the widget to let you know the battery's estimated hours left
Un-install timescape since it uses a lot of process.
Oh and do not us auto killers as they kill your battery very fast
Un-install it if you still have it or at least disable the auto kill ( I rarely, almost never kill any app , unless uni suspect that it uses a lot of process )
Last but not least use your phone for more than three days as with each day you'll notice improved battery life, since android takes a bit time to adjust itself.
And that'd what I've done, so far I can take it up to 22 hours of constant usage, three hours of music, one hour playing games, twk hours browsing, email push, whatsapp and gtalk running non-stop. 3g always enabled with half an hour talking and over 100 sms.
If using my phone lightly it goes to 44 hours with 20% left

I haven't tried freezing the apps like timescape.. etc but as I understood from other members who tried freezing it did not help them too much
try backing up the apps you don't want and then un-install them.. However, one of the major battery drainers is timescape, but as I mentioned before you have to Freeze/Un-install it and all of its components...
I'll keep it simple here:
backup applications first
Uninstall/Freeze:
- Timescape Theme Sakura 1.0
- Timescape Theme Orange 1.0
- Timescape Theme Indiago 1.0
- Timescape Theme Green 1.0
- Timescape Theme Blue 1.0
- Timescape Provider 1.0
- Timescape Plug in Manager 1.0
- Timescape 1.0.0
- Creatouch 3.0.4
- Any other unnecessary applications that you don't use
Install:
- JIT ( Just-In-Time ) to make your device faster and less power consuming
- Juice plotter ( and add the widget to your screen to get more information on how long will your battery last )
DO NOT USE:
- Auto Task Killer ( it really drains a lot of your battery )
- JuiceDefender
- Any other battery saver applications
-----------------
you can of course use Task managers to kill any application that you think it uses a lot of processor, otherwise leave your ram uses whatever it needs. ( don't aim for more ram space because it's useless, this is not Windows )
if you did all that then you should be fine.... I know because I did all that and while I'm writing this post I'm listening to music using my X10 (Wifi on, Bluetooth connected to LiveView) for 4 hours now ( Un-plugged it at 100% ) and now it's at 83%

i had done most of your advises already including freezing ts and some other apps. i never use task killers. juice defender had been uninstalled as i found it wasnt useful to save juice. something i havent done is the installation of jit. will it be a key to improve the battery performance? where can i download it as it doesnt exist in the market.
my phone is fast and laggyless without rooting. the major perpose of rooting is to extend the battery life. i thought it would be helpful because the uninstallation or freezing the useless apps became possible. to my dissapointed, till now, i havent had the pleasure to enjoy the benefit.
a lot of x10 users repoered the better battery use after updating from 1.6-2.1, but mine and my wife's suffered the negative effect. now rooting the phone made it even worse.

I'm sure you'll find many disagree with you on this here

Badly programmed widgets or apps are the usual causes of battery drain. Have you got anything that might be preventing your phone from sleeping.. Eg.seems to be a bug on handscent which absolutely
knackers the battery if you leave a message un read..
I've switched back to stock sms for the moment because of it.

just under 3 hours, just to reply to emails/texts, phone calls and a little gps/market browsing.
someone gave this a one star, nice...well i guess if no one cares about details i will just have the mods close thread...

Why make threats. Just close the thread down if that's what you want to do.

I wish i could do a screen shot....but with 8% battery life left and already downloading all the SS programs in the market, it wont be done.
I haven't charged my phone for 1day 15hrs 39mins, and still have 8% battery life.
Using nothing more than the built-in Task manager (aka performancemanager.apk) i have been testing my phone out to maximize battery.
Display has been auto
no task killers downloaded
setcpu profiles active
launcher pro with 7 hopmescreens all full with widget5s and programs
over 200 apps downlloaded from market
background sync on
no lwp on
no battery reconditioning done to my knowledge
i will be writing a more indepth walk through on my settings, apps, and how i use setcpu profiles within the next couple hours...hope this helps others, please thank me if it did

I only started using Android with my Atrix. I did have a rom on sd for my Tilt2, but that was not even close to Android goodness. And phobos512, the very thought that you voiced is exactly what I am after. Any chance that you could point me toward an explanation or elaborate about how Android and Apps work.
The upcoming guide from justflorin will be like having a fish handed to me. What you speak of will teach me to fish.
Thanks to you both in advance.

I would definitely be interested in hearing some more about this being new to android. I'm currently averaging around ~14 hours I think from unplugged to 5% or so...

How my atrix is getting me 1day 15hrs of battery life...
I am interested in hearing more about this i a new to android. I'm currently averaging around ~13 hours I think from unplugged to 4% or so...

I can make it a solid day usually but my display is on longer than 3 hours easily. If you leave your phone alone of course the battery isn't going to drain as fast.

I can EASILY last two and a half days if I wanted to. SETCPU is set to 760 Max, goes down to 400 some when screen is off. Battery manager is maximum profile (honestly besides email, why do you need apps to constantly sync??).
Best phone and battery I have EVER had.

I guess, because I'm not a child, I just don't get his rhetoric.

I'm getting 1d 15 hrs on average... I'd say usually about 1d 18 or 19 hrs.

Dude, im using launcher pro too. 7 screens, almost exact same setup. No task killers. I get 30 hours, you're absolutely correct.

if hes syncing emails and social media theres no way he gets that kind of battery life. im currently on 24 hours of phone idle with 1 hour of display time and 50% left but thats with all account sync off but i do have background sync on for stuff like weather widgets. its no secret just turn off stuff that sync like emails, calendar, contacts and FB and you will get great battery life.
oh btw i know how to enable HSUPA and if you guys give me 100 thanks i will post it...

Okay. I just said thanks 100 times. Give it up!

ugh
dont see how this is possible imo.
i only use sync on wifi seeing as how i got the cheapest data plan known to man.
hardly text ever. just answer 10-20 phone calls a day. Play a few apps around 30-40min. a day the rest of the time its locked unless i check the time.
screen is on auto 5 screens on home screen with around 3 widgets on each and my battery last @ 14hours. at best
