1) How to have best battery life? I currently already
-Turned off Bluetooth and GPS
-Wifi only when I need it
-Using SetCPU with profiles from another thread
-Low brightness
Im guessing that all the apps autostarting uses alot of battery so I always stop them with Task Killer but they just restart. I tried using Auto Task Killer but it doesnt seem to work. Any help?
2) I use like 40% a day so should I charge everyday or wait until its down at a certain level?
EDIT
Also, whats a good video converter to convert videos for the phone? Most that I tried takes forever and my computer is definately not a slow computer.
Stop using a task killer, the OS will handle the apps. If you keep shutting them down they have to keep restarting, that will suck power.
Any data sync will drain your battery if you us it to often, set it to a reasonable time frame.
I leave my screen on auto seems to work well, and you can charge whenever you feel like it no need to wait till it's low.
If you use Rockplayer you shouldn't even have to convert your movies unless they are full HD. It's a great player you should try it out.
Hi, mine goes down at an average of 1% battery per hour at normal use since the firmware update (v23).
I enable wifi only when I'm at home, for the rest I only use Edge/gprs because at my work the 3g signal appears to be too weak and 3G drains the battery really fast.
Bluetooth and gps are off, Google account syncing is on.
I believe that a lot of widgets have a negative effect on the battery life, so it might be a good idea to limit their number.

Ok I found out the major battery drainer via the battery usage in settings. It shows the the Display accounted for 80% of the battery usage. My display brightness is only set at aprx 25% and I have a total of 4 widgets on. Whats the problem?
Regarding the conversion, I am using rockplayer already but I just want to toggle the video settings a bit (mainly resolution) so the file size is smaller.
40% a day is a quite good result. what is your objective for a smartphone with 4-inch diaplay and 1G cpu?

Well 40% is with like 30 min wifi, 1hr gaming, 5 min calling. 3G, GPS, BT all off. But im not out of the new battery draining cycle yet.

More of a wish than an objective but a month would be nice
In the early 80s a 20MB HDD was about the size of 100 X10's and now my X10 has 32GB of storage the size of a postage stamp.
The computing power of an X10 would have filled a 10 story building in 1980.
Where are the big advancements in batteries?
What we need for the X10 is a Hydrogen Fuel Cell

Bottom line is that it's a huge screen and it sucks power.
Try this, turn off "everything" and play a 2 hour movie, doubt you'll get to the end of it.
Since the screen is so large battery life would have been better served by an AMOLED screen rather than TFT.
Gary.. Think this latest firm ware has a bug that shows the display draining battery much more than it really is.. You should ignore that. My display is set to auto. I get a full day from about 50%.

yes, the current battery technology is obviously far behind the development of mobil devices industry. egeryday, we see the faster cpu, better display and os etc. the battery has become a major weakness slowing down the related industries.

I have heard good things about juice defender, but i have a basic question. It says it turns of data during times, or when certain apps are running, etc...
Now, is the data only internet connection? Or will it interfere with my ability to get texts as well, because that would be a deal break for me.
Data is only the internet. The only things that you'll be missing out on are e-mails, which will still come through based on your schedule set up and when you have your screen on.

Heard so much about this app, tried it and took me only a few hours to remove it. When screen is off, it kills data, so basically apps like K-9 Mail that push my IMAP-idle email accounts and poll other accounts are basically impotent.
Plus the interface is confusing with a myriad of settings and no real hold on what settings stick or what not to set. I understand the concept of the app but it's not for me. With stock rom and mediahub-DRM-whatever-process killed off manually, i get by a work day with 50% left over on the train/bus-ride home, more than enough to do stuff before i get home.
I dave been using juicedefender for 3 weeks and it has maximized my batt an overall of 1.4x. The interface is confusing for those that don't spend time and learn it....its granular.

U can set it to fcetch data on certain time intervals and u can get emails like that
Sent from my Epic 4G
I'm totally happy with it - I'm getting a rating of around 1.7x to 1.9x I know I can easily go a full day on one charge. The default setting of enabling data every 15 minutes is enough for me - I don't expect to get emails that are time sensitive to the point where a maximum of 15 minute delay would be detrimental. And I play with my phone a lot so I'm usually waking it up to respond to texts and it reenables data then anyway.
edit: I'm not using any battery tweaks or DRM disabling stuff. I'm stock except for rooting.
You guys and this juice defender. you use more battery with this because it is always running in the background. i get 45 hours without juice defender or a task killer. 1 day of battery pleasssseee i could get 2 if it was left in standby or more. no drm removed. root, cwm, galaxy rom and kernel di18 & blue minimalism
Oh well f me... If you're getting 45 hours that must mean I can get 45 hours because, you know, our geographic locations have the exact same coverage and we have the exact same phone usage patterns. Wow I feel like such an idiot. Thank you. Thank you for showing me that juice defender, instead of increasing my battery life by a good 6-8 hours, is actually killing it by 21 hours...

That's fine - always be skeptical especially when an update comes out to improve performance. I'm about to test the new kernel without this to see if it's worth it. But I know that keeping data off on my Hero tripled the battery life and since having this phone it's definitely increased it. But you can't tell me that I'm losing 21 hours of battery life by using it - and definitely don't try to make me feel like an idiot for using it either.

Im sure its not killing you by 21 hours. prolly your STOCK sync settings though. i only turn it on for a minute or two 3x a day. but go with out it i bet its prolly like 8 hours. think about it when your screen is off it is running. well that is another process that is draining battery unneccessarily. My entire phone is set up like on demand it does what i want it to when i want it to not when it wants too and all of this is acheived with stock settings and checking every app for update frequency settings. I use my phone a lot so i need it to be there.

So for argument's sake, and because I wanted an actual test, I installed your setup based on you're post earlier, andromeda rom, no juice, etc. gmail and facebook sync off. I even went in 4 times throughout the day to turn off running services. I got 11 hours and that was with charging while I was in a vehicle. So I would say about 9 to 10 hours really. TWS was only at 16%. Display was the biggest battery drain at 82%.
So now that I've done this, I can say without a doubt, for me personally, juice defender is really extending my battery life. While running juice defender, I take my phone off the charger at 6am typically and when I go to bed at midnight I still have over 20%. And if I don't plug my phone in, I can wake up at 6am the next day and the phone is still on.
You have a setup that works for you, and I have a setup that works for me. In my setup, juice defender gets me through a 24 hour period without charging. Now that I've got the andromeda rom and kernel, I'm going to test battery life with juice.

I have juice defender installed only for it's two toggle widgets. With defender disabled it doesn't run in background, I take advantage of the data toggle widget and I've seen it save as high as 5x's life.
Seriously, my GF and I just got new phones and her EVO rocks my Epic. I don't get it, thought the EVO sucked juice compared to the Epic?
We both have juice defender, otherwise hers is stock with standard sense widgets. She checks facebook and texts all day, plays words with friends but that's it. I'm obsessing, rooted with setcpu conservative 100/1000, I have force uninstalled mediahub+drm services, do the airplane trick on reboot, brightness on auto, services off except wifi when browsing, etc.
My phone lasts maybe 12 hours, hers has gone 27 hours, lasts 18+ easy every day. I feel like if I even touch my phone I lose 10%. Snes games? Phone is done. I basically let it sit and it slowly dies, yet still ends up 90%+ display usage on the battery.
Sigh :-(

I only got 8hours Until I got me, an extended battery Now I have mine on full bright and 4g,wifi,bluetooth,gps on full time. And 4 apps that update every 10 minutes 3 to 4 hours talk time and about 100+ text, get on the internet etc and the battery last about 12 hours
The biggest battery drainage from my phone came from 3g I live in area where 3g fluctuates allot which caused the battery drain
Have you ever thought of getting an extended battery?
Or you dont like the extra bulkiness
Otherwise can't you take it back and switch out for an evo?
I like my Epic like my women, slim and naked ;-)
I'm all stock, odined back to 2.1 before updating. I would suspect 3g due to my near-roaming status at home except for juice defender.
I can't calibrate my battery without clockwork (stock recovery now), think that would make a significant difference?

That is a key (perhaps not the only) problem. Set your brightness to as low as you can stand it (8% is my number). Use as much black & red as possible (if an app has a night mode, use it.) Use an all black wallpaper. These actions will not cause any miracles but it will make a noticeable difference in battery life.
Worst case scenario (all white background at full brightness), the Epic screen consumes more than three times (yes, >3x) as much power as the EVO. Of course it looks marvelous doing it.
Hrm, thx mosttoys, ill try it. Though honestly most of the time it looks like it's around 0% anyways (which is honestly where I like it).
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Little info for you guys. I'm sitting at 15% right now after 11 hours. I didn't touch my phone except for a 45min conference call and half hour workout using 4g+pandora. I realize this is likely average for Epic users. Except check out my GFs super Evo.
Light use, words with friends, texting, browsing (she is unemployed and I work from home so I can vouch that she has been on and off it), 59% afterf 12 hours...

Op so ur liking the evo more? Just curious because I am considering giving my epic back to sprint for an evo because this has to be one of the most unreliable phones I have owned.
Sent from my EB13 Samsung Epic
To be honest, the features that made me choose the epic over the evo have let me down. The keyboard misses and the screen sucks too much juice. My gf still hasn't plugged in her evo, its at 42% 15h20m.
But, I just installed the new syndicate rom and have high hopes. I don't want to jump the gun but my keyboard seems fixed and it's very quick. If all proves stable and I get comparable battery life (~15 hours would be fine) ill be more than happy with my epic. I would hate to lose this screen and am used to a hardware keyboard again. Just hate feeling like I need to plug it in every time I use it.
Oh and the call quality is the worst I have ever experienced but I don't know if it's the tinny speaker or sprint...maybe both (came from tmobile).

My epic was working good but today was the final breaking point for me. My phone is literally used in life a death situations (I am a paramedic if you couldn't guess by user name lol) and today I was on a call where I had to pull my battery 6 times to get it to dial out.
For me that is a deal breaker. I have learned to live with the keyboard by slowing down. I was debating on giving the rom you are using a try and seeing how that goes.
Sent from my EB13 Samsung Epic
This probably won't apply to you if it's saying the display is 90%, but two other battery drains that you didn't mention are "use wireless networks" for location and google talk, which auto signs in unless you change it in the talk app settings.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Why don't you try switching phones with her for a day or two and see if it's still the case. If you have horrible reception in an area, that can quickly drain the battery. There are so many variables that come into play and the second you two leave each other's sides, there is no way to compare the phones.
Thx for the suggestions. My location settings are off and I signed out of gtalk.
We have been right next to each other as she isn't working and I work from home. However, while she was bragging how much "better" her phone is she mentioned that she keeps gps and wireless on all day. This could have an impact considering the spotty service here, I just thought that juice defender would take care of it (should turn off 3g).
Btw, I had her not charge her phone. She is sitting at 16% 1d2h53m

Running some of the different ROM's will help out anyone looking for better battery. I recommend trying it out i was not very happy at first with the epic after all the hype then I gave in and started rooting and flashing and I love the phone now.
Hey guys,
I'm planning to get a Nexus S (SLCD) version and I would like to enquire on the battery life of it.
My daily usage will be lots of whatsapp, google talk, sms and some surfing. I wonder if I can get through a day with this usage using stock rom.
Thanks and looking forward for your response.
I get two days worth of battery without problem! And yes, I have the SC-LCD (i9023) version. I also have Facebook, Twitter and Google all syncing quite often! I love the battery on this thing, esp. when you compare it to my previous Desire HD

You can use all the apps you mentioned plus have background sync enabled providing that you switch from 3g to 2g.
I use:
Exchange mail push
Gmail push
WhatsApp
Gtalk
Phone quite a lot
When the data is on 2g (or 2g/wifi) I can easily get at least 18 hours.
3g won't let you last the whole day.

I think I could get close to 12 hours. Which is not necessarily bad. However I don't like to live on the edge when it comes to battery - you never know when you will need it...
So I highly recommend you use 2g/wifi if you can. It won't hurt emails or WhatsApp, only web surfing speed would be annoying.

This is with wifi, 3G, a few calls, sms, browsing and about 1.5hrs of music per day!

They really need to get the 2G toggle working. Also, the Nexus S seems to take a while to switch where the connection dies in the middle for a solid 10 seconds or so before it picks the 2G/3G switch up?

When switching from 2g to 3g or the other way around, the connecting always breaks for a few seconds.

Toggling is not at all a problems. There are free apps on the market to help you do it quickly or you can go the "long" way which takes 2 seconds and do it via the settings.
Anyway, it is not at all necessary to toggle between 2g and 3g all the time. You should live with one or the other and just switch if/when needed.
I live with 2g/wifi quite well and find I have to switch to 3g perhaps once a month, if that.

The battery life of the i9023 just rocks. I*don't know if it's better than i9020, but my SGS with AMOLED drained much quicker. I get 3 days of battery with airplane mode over night.
Coming from the Epic, the battery life on this is amazing. The Epic ate batteries for lunch (comparatively speaking) even on the best ROM. It wasn't completely uncommon on the Epic to be able to discharge the battery while charging during heavy use.

I can't complain about the battery life on this phone compared to other Android devices.
I get about 30 hours till it dies completely and that's with 20 hours on 2g + wifi, 10 hours on 3g, 90 mins of calls, 30 mins of music, 20 mins of games, 20 mins of streaming TV (Big Bang Theory ), about 4 hours of total screen time, 60 or so sent and received texts, 10-15 mins of web browsing, 1 email account, twitter and Facebook updating hourly.
For new NS 4G owners, or for any new smartphone owner, battery life will increase over time once you stop tinkinering with stuff. I've spent the first few days with the screen on nearly all day, customizing my homescreen to my liking, resulting in only around 6 hrs of life. Last night I hit 17 hrs, mostly on 3g, with 20% left before plugging it in.
Hello beautiful, sorry for my bad english!
We can write here, comparing ideas and impressions of all, what is the best configuration to protect the battery?
It may seem an obsession, but now it is summer and it often happens that the cells can not just load it because I have an outlet in attack.
So often I stay off her cell phone.
The Nexus S promises, but together with your expertise, I would like to figure out how to stay on the nexus s for as long as possible.
To understand Configuration: os (cyanogen, stock, AOPs, etc. ...), the kernel, governor settings, launcher, widgets, various tricks (NFC disabled) ...
There were?
Can we make the battery last for three days ?!?!?!?!?!!
-------
Let me explain, I have the latest nightly cyanogen, the 88. Off data always when I'm around and I do not use the internet. I do not need the push, so no active sync. The wifi I turn it on only at home or at work, I have WhatsApp, twitter and I uninstalled facebook to try what were saying that facebook consumes battery. I have launcher pro and Gtasks widget for notes in gmail, news and weather widget for news that is updated every 6 hours, if it's on the Internet, and then all program icons. I have installed very few, narrow required.
The kernel is the 1.3.3 universal netarchy signed cfs (the bfs? Is not that I had to use the bfs what do you think?).
This afternoon I used the GPS a few minutes to find an address, then he arrived, I turned off the GPS and data, with the widgets "Power Control" modified cyanogen.
Some short calls since this morning and some short text messages, not even 10. Some web browsing on 3G, but not much.
Well, after all this I can tell you that after only 11hours 18minutes 5seconds the battery is already 42% (97% this morning after recharge).
I'm not coming to pass even 23 hours which is what you do with a simple stock 2.3.4.
What is the sense I'm in the kernel and cyanogen netarchy? Only to change some other small lockscreen?
I need the battery! And I have already explained why.
The other ROM that you have listed does not come from cyanogen?
They are not "pure" cyanogen changed? Implemented? Correct?
Let me know ....
The AOSP where they come from? They are like cyanogen, a family on its own? O derived from cyanogen, too?
Now I remove the cyanogen and try something else.
What do you suck a lot in my phone? WhatsApp? Imagine if gripping always-sync data and as some of you! Not even 10 hours would last.
In the processes running there: Settings - 1 and 0 process services (21MB), WhatsApp - 1 process and 2 services (8.8 Mb), Market - a process and a service (11Mb) Maps - a service process and 1 (5.8 Mb) Google services - 2 processes and one service (15Mb), keyboard Android - a process and a service (8.9 Mb) - TOTAL: 153Mb used and 152 free.
It's right? Do you have it?
I just do not understand where mistake ... help me ...

This is actually quite poetic, in a nonsensical way.
But I can't understand it - could a native speaker please try to "translate"?
why is there a 2nd thread on this? do the mods even ever come here?
Complaining about your phone being HALF dead after 11 hours?! Mine is completely dead after 5! I'm lucky if I even make it that far.

if thats true you need to take it back for a replacement.
3 days of phone use.
Step 1: charge phone to full
Step 2: Set phone down on table
Step 3: Pick it back up 72hrs later

in most cases that would be correct but in reality no phone running android without an extended battery will achieve 3 days. BUT my 4g did go 2 days/8hrs with medium usage.
I can see two days no prob with some average use. You could maybe get 3 days if the screen brightness was at zero, setcpu locked at 500mhz Max and constantly toggle airplane mode when not using it.
What fun is that though.

You seem to have completely missed his point, which is that people who tout their batteries lasting 2 and 3 days acheive this by not really using the phone at all.

i bet with heavy usage i could go about 24hrs. i used my phone alot yesterday and still had great life on a stock battery. i guess everyones phone is different. it also depends on what kernel and rom you use.

Correct. There are so many variables. Some say their battery lasts 7hrs. What we never know is if their homescreen looks like a widget bomb exploded on it, everything set to auto sync every hour and brightness at 100% while they use it like a mini laptop non stop.
At work I get like 5 hours. I use it redicously heavy almost all day.
The two biggest battery killers are tapatalk and web browsing. If that is all you do, yep you will never make it past a day.

I think this is pretty accurate.
Typically, with average use (by my estimation) I get about 22-23 hrs between charges.
Average use is defined by
*Netarchy kernel overclocked to 1.2GHz with SetCPU (screen off profile set to 500MHz)
*2-3 hrs of talk time (with about -85dBm signal on average - or at least that's what it is when the call starts)
*push email for 3 IMAP accounts at 5min check intervals and sending and receiving at least 75-100 emails per day
*push gmail with 60 or so emails per day
*fancy widgets updating location every 30 mins.
*Seesmic twitter widgets on homescreen updating 3 accounts.
*Facebook widget
*locations service always on
*wifi never sleeping
I think that's most of what's running.
Battery life on the NS4G has made me laugh at my Evo's 8hr charge and has actually made me use my phone MORE out of confidence that my battery will last.

Do not forget SCREEN ON TIME and AWAKE TIME, those are the two most important variables of all!

I went on a vacation out of the states so I couldn't use my phone. It was charged before I went and I just left it in airplane mode for the whole trip, and occasionally used it for music and a calculator. After about 4 days it went dead, I was surprised it lasted that long.

I'm not sure if you have let the battery die all the way to 0% and then charge it overnight. Do this 4-6 times a month and you will see a huge increase in battery life.

Yeah you should do this only when calibrating the battery which should need to be done very very infrequently it not at all.
