So now that we are getting the update I am curious if the wifi adjustment as well as the others listed are affecting battery life(in a positive way hopefully). I finally got my system all tweaked prior to updating and had great results. I don't want to start all over again. Please post your experiences here.
ill let you know after i fully charge and start running it tomorrow. Ill run heavy use and let u know my results. i have noticed with it much better 3g signal in my office at work where it is usually horrible and cant run now its doing superbly.
I think it is going to be better since the phone is now sleeping properly.
Before updating (with drm stuff deleted, battery tweak) was losing about 2-3% per hour, after returning to stock/updating to di18, went from 63% to 43% in about an hour and 45 minutes.
Battery life is still fail on stock.
We're actually getting the update now?
My battery life has always been great. But I'd love to get this new update....

There's several posts in the Development subforum with the update.
My battery life the last few days before the update has been AMAZING on stock. I've charged it a total of 20 minutes in the last 48 hours, and I only plugged it in for those 20 minutes because I didn't trust the gauge during an important phone call.
I'm actually afraid that DI8 is going to ruin all my battery improvements.
From what I can tell; the battery life is AMAZING after update. I used the phone pretty heavily tonight, went to Kings Dominion, used mobile web, GPS, Bit of wifi, a few calls, a ton of texting.
6h 6m 32s since unplugged and my batter is still over 90%.

I did the update,battery life is the same as b4,not very good,tws is still high in the 40's.
My TWS was only like 11%. And I don't use any other battery tweaks besides Juice Defender.

The update is amazing!! I've been off the charger for 14 hours and I've actually gained 10% of my battery back! I think they finally activated the Epic's nuclear fusion reactor.

My battery life seems worse after DI8. My last charge before DI8 gave me really about 36 hours with normal use (I'm sort of estimating; I charged it 20 minutes total in a 48 hour span, but I was still at 40% when I did that). Today, though, I'm down to 80% in 2 1/2 hours with the same usage pattern. At this rate, I'll be back to charging before I go to bed at night, which is what I was doing when I first got the phone.
I'm using all the battery tricks I know, which worked like butter on DI07 but maybe don't make any difference on DI8.

Ive had my phone for a month now nad the battery seems to be getting better. Ive resently done a task 29 and updated to Artemis v9 with radio version 2.09 and from 4:30 yesterday afternoon I took it off charge its gone down to 90%. Thats doing light txting and web. Im amazed....
exactly the same experience for me, using the hd2 since december and battery now lasts almost 3 days from time to time
i even bought a second battery to replace it when im not at home lol.. but not that important anymore
and yea, im surfing everyday and text very much, some phone calls too, normal use..
i love it xD

How have you been treating your batteries... run it all the way down then recharge? or keep it topped off?

I usually wait until it gets down to about 10% charge, then top it up.
But, it does get trickle charges during the week while plugging into my car.
i also found my battery getting better
with 40% brightness, from 8:30am online to surf web until 4pm, still have 40%
i think because it uses less cpu processing power and speaker sound(play games or movie), that's why battery can last longer
your probably find that a lot of it is down to how much you use it, Obviously when you first get a phone for the first couple of weeks your going to be using it constantly, figuring out new things and just general playing about, once you have gotten used to it you dont do as much, its not very noticable as its gradual but thats one of the reasons why battery life gets better.
83% now after a bit more txting and a little bit of facebook. ive been charging around 30 40%
I completely agree about the battery, I'm actually amazed
I am using Energy ROM with GTX and C00kie and I am getting a good 2 days of HEAVY usage, and i'm talking hundreds of texts, about an hour on the phone, couple hours of music, couple hours of 3G Internet with 3G on all the time.
I'm amazed.
Just run the battery out and then fully charge it and you're sorted.
Its down to understanding how Lion work.
They like being worked and the harder the better. If used like this over time they will give better and better results. There is no need to discharge or condition them in any way other than charge them as often and for as long as possible and this will maximize battery life over a few weeks. Then you see the benefits.

I agree. I charge my battery whenever I can.
I got my phone couple days ago and been constantly on it and kill a full overnight charge by lunch time. Hopefully my battery life will get better too. I may need to change some settings too.
Mine seems to be lasting alot longer now - I can go a whole weekend without charging

Hi Everyone,
Quick question for all that have updated their Evos to 1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6, have you noticed an increase in battery life?
I can say unequivocally that I have, and it has made me fall in love with my Evo all over again.
Last night I did a test, on full battery life I left my phone unplugged for approximately 8 hours. The following morning I noticed it drained little more than 20%. Prior to the update, it would drain almost completely overnight.
Has anyone else noticed similar increases in their charge lifespan? I'm curious.
I have to give kudos to HTC...this being my second HTC phone after migrating from the G1 - the update is great and painless!! Can't wait for Froyo 2.2. :]
over 20% drop in 8 hours on standby? that is hardly positive. my EVo only drops between 3% and 5% in 7 hours of standby.
Mine has been fantastic, as per my post in this topic. Currently I'm at 95% after 3 hours of use.

Such a vast improvement huh? Well I guess I'll have to do that test for myself. I've noticed some improvements but not enough to miss my old iPhone's battery life. Could also be because I was one of those idiots dupt into buying the AMZER 1800mAh battery (Which let me tell you; gives you NO increase, at $50)
Prior to the update, I would lose nearly all my battery life after 8 hours. I could probably do a better job of managing apps and whatnot, but for a single update to add such a leap in battery performance I can't raise my nose to HTC!
Been off the charger for a little over 5 hours - just hit 90%. I usually have the quick drop into the low 90's within minutes - didn't happen today. That was a first!

About the same here. Maybe double that if bluetooth is on.
Losing that much battery while in standby is not normal IMO. You should be losing around 5% during that time, 10% tops. Definitely check your sync settings and whatnot.

Has the Evo lowered your standards? 20% for 8 hours is ridiculously low, maybe you are not managing apps and services properly. I can easily get a full night of rest starting at 100% and have 95% when I wake up.

That would be improbable to me. I've never gotten battery life like that with ANY mobile device I've had (and you can see that is quite a few). I'm assuming that when you say "standby" you mean sleeping with the screen off and not completely powered off. I could see it happening with the latter option but never the first--especially with the radio on.

Lowered my standards? Not by a long shot buddy. If anything at all, the Evo has been a testament to the Android platform's amazing scalability and robustness.
I'm coming from a G1, so buying the Evo was a major Android technology jump. I had big time complaints with battery life, and in less than two weeks I get a major update that significantly increased the device's overall life - all without having to shell out cash for a so-called "extended battery".
I'd say that's a pretty big deal, and HTC didn't have to tell me to "hold the phone differently." lol

Exactly WHICH iphone was this? Because I had a 3g and a 3gs and the ONLY way I made it a whole day when I actually used the phone was to buy one of those mophie juicepack things. The battery was garbage on both. To the OP, my battery is definitely improved after the update. Been off the charge about 7 hours now with pretty moderate usage, emails/twitter/facebook all updating frequently, texts and using the cam and im sitting at 76% right now.

3 hours of use, or 3 hours off the charger?
I followed your advice in your thread too, btw. No task killer, only autostarts and battery saver profile in dconfig.
Went 1d15hrs (39 hours) without using a charger with about a 6hr awake time.
I'm waiting on a 3500 mAh battery to be released within the next week or two (supposedly) for 70 bucks.
The 1800 mAh batteries do nothing. I was strongly advised against it at a local battery store here in town.
Either way, my phone did not receive the new update, so I can't see any difference in my phone life.
I'm not downloading it because I enjoy my root and wifi tether. I hope someone figures out a way to mod the update for us rooted users, after they release it again. Haha.
the update for root has been out since yesterday morning. used it on my phone, it works perfect.
I am noticing a better battery life after the upgrade also.
I bought the 2 batteries with charger from ebay for $10. they've been working great, almost the same as the stock battery.
With the newly leaked Dk28 there definitely seems some battery life improvement. I am on 13.5 hrs unplugged as of now and still about 20% battery life left.
I charged it before going to bed yesterday night... left if unplugged whole night.. moderate usage today morning.. emails, browsing, phone calls.
4G service on .. everything else off.
I dont think I saw something like this on Eclair... is 13.5 hrs normal or is it really really good??
What are you experiences? Please share.
I'm at 15 hours right now with 62% remaining, but that doesn't seem out of the ordinary for me. I went a little over 30 hours on one battery a couple days ago, which I think is pretty good considering it's a stock Froyo kernel.
I don't know what your settings are, but I can usually get about 40 hrs on one battery cycle. Most of that 40hrs is downtime, but I can manage about 3-4 hours of display time(games, surfing, etc) and about 30 minutes of talk time.
Your numbers look a lot like mine did before I started killing the DRM service.
Edit: Forgot to mention I am on 2.1 though.
That seems pretty normal. I unplug my phone when I leave for work and plug it in when I go to bed and it's usually at about 40% or so by that time.
For what it's worth, I'm not seeing any difference in my battery life since updating to 2.2. This is pretty much the same as I was getting on 2.1.
I will say that prior to DI18, I was getting about 50 hours on a charge. My last charge before DI18, I had gone almost 72 hours before plugging in to do the update. DI18 killed my battery life, and it's been about the same ever since.

I do have Autostarts killing DRM at boot. Not sure that it makes a difference on Froyo though.
I was on di18 from the day i bought my phone and i never got thru the day without plugging in at work.. i plug it in at night..pick it up100% charged while going to work and by about 2-3 with moderate usage it wud be around 25% left and definitely die if i dont charge at work on the way back home.. which is something i m not seeing now.
Are all you guys using this drmservice.. i wud like to kill it too .. not sure what it does tho.. will do a bit of reading..
I usually only have to swap batteries once a day. I leave wifi on nearly all the time. Bluetooth and gps are usually on for about an hour a day. I listen to music with the phone during work and when I go for a walk in the evenings. I play some games and browse the web here and there, too.
Last night, I swapped batteries before bed, and lost 11% in 9 hours, with wifi on. If I'm constantly doing things with my phone (gps navigation, games, etc) then I can kill it in 6 hours or so.

Is this with the regular 1500mAh battery ?
For people getting 13 hrs+, or anyone really, what does your spare parts network usage look like? I'll update this post with mine.
I've been all over the place with battery drainage. (I've calibrated since new kernel). all details equal (same app setup, traveling to the same place, etc), sometimes I drain 15% per hr, sometimes 5%.
sent from my RAZR
I read some of the comments and had to go back to top to see if I was in right thread!!
My 2.1 rooted used 2% an hour, I'm a moderate user, but most usage is data on 3g. I would have 50 plus left at bedtime.
Went to DK28 - idle used 6%, had to charge my late afternoon with any usage. Same setup, actually less programs.
So I rolled back, this was the same as pre Sept 30 upgrade and yes, I was toggling, killing, stopping, everything the same.
Just this morning, I took it off charge, spent about 10 minutes going through facebook and seesmic, check the charge percentage and I was at 93%.
What the HECK are you folks doing to get 18 hours of heavy browsing on WiFi?!
I really don't want a phone that has a tough time making it past lunch with it mostly sitting inactive. Heck, my ancient G1 did much better than this. Just checking now, I unplugged it at 6:30, and I'm at 89% already. Although I will say that from about 6:30 - 7:42 I've gone down 4%, so I suppose that's not too terrible. I'd love to have 2%/hr.
Addl data:
From 7:42 - 9:34 with it just sitting on my desk, it's down to 81%, so it's still losing 4%/hr without being touched.
Is anyone else having issues with battery life? My wife reported that she was at 70% when she went to take a nap and when she woke up (around an hour later) it was at 30%. I don't have it with me so I can't look up battery stats but I know wifi was off. Even if GPS was still on, you'd think that 40% of a giant battery wouldn't go by in an hour.
I just want to see if its worth investigating as faulty hardware or if there is a software issue involved. She did have meebo running which is a battery drain but even on my captivate with trillian running I don't lose battery like that!
Mine has been absolutely disappointing to say the least. Seems to last less time than my N1.
MILES worse than my iPhone 4.
Is meebo a instant messaging app? A lot of them aren't coded very well and constantly use data therefore killing the battery terribly. I've had my phone on wifi all day since 8am and i'm still at 70%
2.2 isnt designed to take advantage of 2 cores. Therefore its probably horribly optimized. 2.3 if it gets around soon - should be far better.

so far my battery lasts about 20 hours.
I turn off blue-tooth
turn off GPS, wireless is only on when I am near wireless spots
Normal day yesturday:
60 minutes playing WSOP game
40 minutes cell calls
40 texts messages
30 emails
40 minutes playing with settings exploring the phone...
look at whats sucking up your battering in the battery manager, then take adequate measures to fix the battery hogs. My battery gives me more than a full day of play and talk
mine's been off a charger for about 8.5 hours, and it's down to 20%. But it has been streaming pandora continuously for about 6 of those hours, so i'd say i'm doing pretty good. Mix in an odd phone call, playing, downloading apps, setting stuff back up, etc, and i'm not at all unhappy with battery so far.

Stop spreading misinformation.
The kernel (which handles all low-level I/O on the device) is compiled for multiple cores (hence the SMP tag, which stands for symmetrical multiprocessing, under About Phone, under Kernel Version).
On top of that, the Android SDK supports threads, which is in turn supported by the kernel and therefore spread across cores.
I'm suspicious that Motorola is using a bugged battery level scheme or calibration. I ran the battery down from 100% to 5% yesterday. When I got the 5% alert, it was still going strong afterwards for 30 minutes of continual use (downloading apps over wifi and configuring them, browsing the web, etc) after. I eventually got too tired to keep going and see how much longer it'd last.
Does the atrix have better battery life then a captivate?
Of the charger at 7am, its now 2:42pm and im at 80%. I use the phone heavily but auto sync is off.

meebo is awful, awful, awful at battery drain. Utterly awful. It uses a fairly inefficient way of checking for new messages and it kills battery life. Do not use it.
My Atrix battery life has been great so far.

cool, thanks for the info! I've never used it before I just use trillian but its what she downloaded.
My battery life is impressive. Yesterday off of the charger at 10am and I didn't charge overnight. When I woke up today it was still at 40%. I did a ton of downloading apps, setup, playing games and web browsing including flash videos. I played a 14 track cd from it when I went to bed, but I had it in airplane mode while sleeping. I use the apps for FB and Twitter instead of having Motoblur do everything. My brightness is over 3/4 too so I'm not handicapping the device for battery.
Hmm interesting..i have been getting HORRIBLE battery life. Off charger at 7am, by 12 i was at 20%. Some background data but ive tried to limit all refreshing apps to once a hour.
ok I don't know how to check useage by app but...
under "battery manager" I can get to a screen that looks like my captivate battery useage screen.
unplugged at 70%, useage is as follows...
time since last unplugged:3h 27m
Display: 50% Time On: 30 mins
Phone Idle: 36% Time on: 2 hours 54 mins
Cell Standby: 16% Time on 3 hr 23mins
Currently sitting at 30%
I took mine off the charger at 7 this morning. After very heavy use, and auto sync with facebook and gmail on. I'm at 30%
By heavy use I mean downloading apps, emailing, texting, gtalk all day.
I would say it's pretty good. Much better then my nexus one.

i expected it to be very good, its huge! The whole reason i'm posting this is to see if there is something wrong with her battery. The screen is usually the biggest battery drain on my phone (samsung captivate) but hers was only on 20 mins.
From my battery manager:
1d 3h 26m 13s since unplugged
That is 27.5 hours, including a whole day of heavy use. I'm at 15% battery.
This phone kicks ass.
This thing is a beast. I have 30% battery left and I have been using it for 41 hours without charging it. And I use it pretty heavy on sundays and on 3g all day saturday. I think it's got the best battery life of any device i've ever used. How are other peoples battery life?
Can you post your battery usage please? Just interested what you've been using in those 41 hours. Seems incredible!

I can't find a screenshot app that works and yes it's rooted.
From what I read you need the SDK to take screen shots.

This is about the exact same results I get. I had about 30% left yesterday after two days and 4-5 hrs of usage.
I pushed about 36 hours before the device shut itself off. Medium to Heavy use (lots of browsing, some games, all around tinkering and playing in numerous apps), and a decent amount of that was standby.
Over-all, I'm very impressed with it and it has completely replaced my laptop (sold it before I got the Xoom, actually). I was actually having a hardtime leaving it off the charger because of how used to I am having to plug my devices in after a few hours of heavy use.
I did a real world test for my xoom this weekend. I used it as i "normally" would. when I wanted to do things, I just did - browse, played games, etc. I used it saturday night to show pictures of a new house to lots of people. Basically, how I would use it if I wasn't specifically testing battery life. Long story short, i went all weekend without charging. Charged fully at 4pm Friday. plugged in Sunday at 11pm with 20% or so still left.
with all due respect that's not accurate. A more accurate usage of batt life is 'display usage'
I get about 7 hours batt life. I was at least expecting 9 hours

9 is a little too much i'd say. It really depends on what app you use and how much power the cpu takes out of the battery. For example, simple web browsing and apps aint gonna run on 2 cores. Gaming on the other will though. And real life usage is really what matters.

That's about what mine lasts for, and I love it!! Its a nice break after my incredible only lasts for like 20 hours MAX with setcpu. XOOM for the win.

I try to keep it off the charger as much as possible....i let it run down to about 30-25% give or take before I charge it. I want to keep this battery in as good a shape as I can.
