I was surprised by how long the batter lasted when I switched to Ava’s ROM, but I wanted to run some tests and see how I can get the best results. If you have questions let me know, but I will continue to edit this as I go. I am running these tests for at least two days under a certain setting before I move on to the next one. On Day 8 I will/did switch back to using SetCPU to compare the weekends. Ava, you screwed my batter tests by updating from version 8 to 9, but that’s ok . If you want me to run a specific test, let me know. I plan to do King’s 6, 10, and 11.
*I just realized today (10-20-2010) that my Facebook has been refreshing every hour automatically. Since it has been doing this every day, I am going to keep that setting throughout the rest of the tests.
SetCPU set to 245/245 Ondemand with screen off for all of these unless stated otherwise. This test was started 10-9-2010.
Day 1 - Stock kernel - Weekend day - 16.5 hours with 31% left. I didn’t use the music player at all. I did a bunch of texting , web browsing, Facebooking, and some calling.
Day 2 - Stock kernel - Weekend day - 16 hours with 30% battery left. I didn’t use the music player at all. I did a bunch of texting , web browsing, Facebooking, and some calling.
Day 3 - Stock kernel - Work day - 14 hours of usage with 8% battery left. I used the music player for at least 6 hours. I did a bunch of texting, web browsing, Facebooking and only a few calls.
Day 4 - Stock kernel - Work day - 14.5 hours of usage with 6% battery left. I used the music player for at least 6 hours. I did a bunch of texting, web browsing, Facebooking, I only had one phone call.
Day 5 - Stock kernel - Work day - No SetCPU - 15. 5 hours of usage with 9% battery left. I used the music player for at least 5 hours, felt a little less than most days. Normal amount of texting, web browsing, Facebooking, but I had a few phone calls. I was very surprised that I had better battery without using SetCPU. I am testing it again day 5. Interesting note: the battery seems to drain slower while playing music than when I am using SetCPU. I have no idea why this would be.
Day 6 - Stock kernel - Work day - No SetCPU - 15 hours of usage with 7% battery left. I used the music player for a lot more than day 5, at least an hour more. Day 5 and 6 are surprising because I was not using SetCPU.
Day 7 - King’s #10 CFS - Work day - No SetCPU - Test got cancelled. Something happened with my market and it would not let my phone sleep.
Day 8(10-16-2010) - King's #10 CFS - Weekend day - 12 hours of usage with 20% left. Normal usage without any music. The huge variance here is that I let my niece use my Swype keyboard for almost an hour just messing around with the screen on. I was actually surprised that the battery lasted that long to be honest with you.
Day 9 - King's #10 CFS - Weekend day - 13 hours and 45 minutes of usage with 38% left! I am really shocked about this because I used my phone a bunch today. On top of normal usage, my girlfriend's internet stopped working so I started my wireless tether and let her use that for 20 minutes or so. I wish I could continue this test, but the real testing will be done during my work day using my music player.
Day 10 - King's #10 CFS - Work day - 16 hours and 10 minutes with 20% left...wow. This was with pretty heavy usage in terms of music AND my market was not working at all today, it stayed on for 30 minutes before it finally failed a couple of my downloads. This gave me a pretty good indication of what I can expect. Tomorrow I am going to run it without SetCPU
Day 11(10-19-2010) - King's #10 CFS - No SetCPU - Work day - 11.5 hours with 7% left. I have no idea why the battery drained this much. I maybe used the music player an hour more than I normally do, everything else was the same. This is kind of mind boggling.
Day 12 - King's #10 CFS - No SetCPU - Work day - 15 hours and 46 minutes with 20% left. The only thing I did different today compared to yesterday was completely remove SetCPU. I had it set to not allow yesterday, but maybe it was still working? Normal usage all the way around. Great battery life today. Day 13 will be with King's #11.
Day 13 - King's #11 CFS - No SetCPU - Work day - 15 hours and 32 minutes with 21% left. Normal usage. #11 seems to make the screens transition a little bit quicker and things seem snappier. The one thing I noticed about the idle battery life for this kernel is that it barely drains. I was in a meeting for two hours today and it went from 73% as I walked in to 72% at the end. I turned the screen on a couple times to check the time. Overall, the battery life doesn't seem to different between 10 and 11. I will test these settings again tomorrow. I am looking forward to the weekend because I am going out on Bartlett lake and I want to see how it works with less reception.
Day 14 - King's #11 CFS - Work day - 13.5 hours with 5% left. I had my screen on for a solid 90 minutes straight. Other than that, usage was normal.
Day 15 - King's #11 CFS - Weekend day - 15 hours 11 minutes with 2% left. I don't know why the usage is so bad here, things were normal today.
Day 16(10-24-2010) - King's #11 CFS - No SetCPU - Weekend day - 12 hours and 17 minutes with 57% left. This is pretty awesome. I am trying these settings again tomorrow at work.
Day 17 - King's #11 CFS - No SetCPU - Week day but not at work - 13 hours and 45 minutes with 30% left. I had to take the day off. I made a bunch of phone calls, no music, but normal texting and Facebooking.
Day 18 - King's #11 CFS - No SetCPU - Work day - 16 hours and 20 minutes with 18% left. I only used my music player for 5 hours today, so it was less than most work days, but the battery life is still pretty impressive. Normal usage otherwise.
Day 19 - King's #11 CFS - No SetCPU - Work day - 14 hours with 8% left. I had very heavy usage today, web browsing, Facebook, but only 4 hours or so of music player.
Day 20 - King's #11 CFS - No SetCPU - Work day - 14 hours and 35 minutes with 12% left. Normal usage, except I did some GPS. This kernel seems to be pretty awesome, I think I am going to stop this test and only edit it when I make some other changes.
What ROM did you switch from and how much more real-world battery life are you seeing? I switched from Fresh 3.3 the AVA 9 about 5 days ago and without any actual testing my battery seems to last longer, the phone runs smoother too. AVA is a very nice ROM

I was going back and forth from CM6 and Steel. CM6 was the one I was using the most. I'm getting 3-4 more hours now, easy.
I'm not surprised you're getting better battery life without SetCPU. Most guys who compile Kernels for the EVO also recommend against using it.
There's a popular notion that SetCPU increases battery life. It doesn't. In fact, it makes it worse.
i can't wait to see your results. because i also have the same set up now.
i was happy with ava with stock rom. now installed kings cfs 11 kernel with it. no problem. but not sure if i am getting any edge of it.
i will wait for your findings.

Thanks for doing the tests! Can you list which accounts you have syncing and what background apps you have running all the time? ie setcpu/batteryindicator/systempanel etc.
using my phone minimally (like a simple phone), I was able to squeeze out 7 days with superevo with setcpu:

I'm running on AVA and Kings, and most I can get out of is 12 hours at the most per charge.
Just wanted to see what your settings were. So you do set the screen brightness manually. I'll try the same.

I have pro widgets and just change it when needed. I turn off all vibrations(unless in vibrate mode), all of my syncing is off except Facebook which is every hour(I only have this on because I started the tests with this on and now have to continue the tests with it), I keep my 3g on all the time everything else off, no window animations, I believe that is it.
I also get awesome battery life with AVA. I was able to get 26 hours today.

My battery test is being cut a little short, I need my phone charged for later tonight and I'm not 100% sure it will make it through the day. Here are my results so far though.
2d 5h 23m since unplugged, 12% battery remaining. Yes that is over 53 hours of moderate usage.
Incase you are wondering what im running here its not all that complicated, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of you getting similar life.
Fresh 1.0.1 with ffolkes kernel and setcpu set to 245 max when screen is off combined with the newest radio does the trick. Anyone able to push this thing past 3 days with moderate usage have anymore tips? I think mine would have made it over 3 days if I didnt play about an hour a day of 3d games.
Also, thinking of switching to netarchy-toastmod kernel, anyone having similar life with that kernel? Wouldn't expect it to be anything different as its mostly the underclocking saving battery.

My daily usage

1 hour 3d gaming
auto-brightness
15 minutes web browsing
1 hour showing off the phone/someone playing with it
only use gps or music when charging in a car, which i didn't for these three days.
also, live in chicago, really well mapped for coverage, i never roam. also, rarely use 4g i have a usb modem too so no need for tethering.

props, Ive gotten mine to 34 hours, but my android system % was @ 50
Define moderate use?
Surfing the web for 3 hours a day, checking email 10 times a day, Searching the market and playing games for an hour a day?
I don't know what you mean by moderate usage When I'm browsing the web for half an hour, I can literally watch the battery drain.... and when I check usage, it's always display (mostly) and voice calls. I see neither on yours. Did you even use the phone during those 2 days?

What do you do? Play nonstop games/videos? I get 6 hours of constant gameboid.
Anyway I unrooted for the OTA just once and I got 44 hours of light texting/browsing on wifi, 50% brightness.
I want to see baked snack / toasted users... they should be getting the best battery.

Pretty much nothing. Unplug phone, go to work, carry it in my pocket and check time occasionally. Browse internet for half hour at break. Carry it in my pocket and check time occasionally. Browse internet for half hour at second break. Carry it in my pocket and check time occasionally. 8.5 hours since unplugged, <15% battery remaining.
Problem is about 0 bars service at work. Constantly switching from Sprint to Roaming.
55 hours of battery. I get 34 hours of battery with constant texting, web surfing and downloading. I'm running cm6 2.2

I'm sorry, but it's just not possible to get those kind of runtimes if you really use the tool. Try using this thing the way it was intended, not just as some kind of a toy just to see what kind of life you can get out of a charge.
I'm on the phone, got bluetooth going, wifi, ... all day long. Average 75 incoming emails, maybe the same texts, several photos for documentation, about the same or more reply's to emails, couple of hours on the phone, .... lucky to make it to 5pm.
No way anyone can convince me that they can go even 24 hrs with my use. No way.

WiFi can actually save even more battery if you are in the same location long enough, but I have no need to keep bluetooth on at all times. Updating first post with more info on my usage, probably less than yours but still use a lot.
running the phone with these settings pretty much makes it impossible for it to die on a day's use, even for really heavy users. to kill it you're gonna have to run wifi tether, gps, or 4g for a while. i never use gps unless its plugged in, and i rarely use 4g.
im gonna try it with the netarchy and let u knw at the end of 2morow
oh yea wat r your auto syncs?

wat ru doin to get that though?
I'm currently using Cyanogen 6.0 RC3 with the Kernel that came with it, and I'm not too impressed with the battery - seems to be draining a lot when on stand by. Just curious on the best battery-saving Kernel out there that is stable and is great with battery percentages.
Try some of wildmonks UV kernels.
I'm also wondering about this. Im currently on kmobs #48 kernel. I have set cpu with profiles set up to under clock when screen is off. Anything else I could try. And no I don't want juice defender.

x2 i've been running 2.6.35.4_SVS-950mV_CFS_AXI_720p_1113MHz_082710.zip on the latest nightlys and battery life has been very good
Just flashed the 1190mhz WildMonk's Kernel and it seems to be a little laggy, can't comment on the battery usage though (I will tomorrow).
I've been reading and people are saying >1190mhz is very stable, but I've been seeing that people are clocking it much lower than 1190mhz (at 1133mhz). I don't care about the speed, I just want my phone to last longer, and to not crash.
Should I flash the 1133 instead of the 1190?
2.6.35.4_SVS-950mV_CFS_AXI_720p_1113MHz_082710 is extremely stable on CM6 & offers much better battery life than stock kernel.
I use it with GPRS/Wifi on full time, moderate browsing (about 1 hr), 20-25 SMS's sent, 50 SMS's received & around 1 hr of talk time. Leaves me with more than 30% juice even after 24 hrs.
To do better on battery life, avoid using the live wallpapers & use a black/dark
static wallpaper.
Cheers !

Battery life on latest CM Nightlies has been very impressive with the included kernel.
i saw him tweet this... whats CM nightlies?
Pershoot is number one, no question about it.
http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/
I have brightness at 100% full-time (Love it!), I have live wall papers 100% (Love it!) of the time and have 3g always with 2 Gmail accounts push via K-9.
GPS off, BT off. WiFi off.
I have CM6.0 with this kernel (1 month old version). It is OC, UV + Extra RAM with no HD(?).
I doubled my battery life on CM6 and very easy get 1 day out of it, almost never below 30% - from 7am to 11pm. I'm at 49% (midnight) with my average use.
If I stream radio, I drain about 15% per hour on 3g. I drain about 5% to read top 20 news on Engadget app (twice a day)
This is my second kernel from this developer. I used one with 2.1 and now with 2.2. I know I'm coming again for the new one when I feel I need to.
I do not limit my usage, as I WANT to kill my battery, but can't succeed.

this is the one i have gave a try and I am very impressed.
When I was looking up info for the G2 I always read about battery life in percentages and comparisons against other phones/batteries. I wanted specifics of how the battery was used. I wanted to know if it was worth upgrading the battery. I knew that the G1 has horrible battery life. It was so bad for me, I even went out and bought the seidio big battery, the one that has its own custom battery cover. That thing made it look like a brick and everyone commented how huge and heavy it was. It wasn't all bad, as they loved the keyboard =)
I looked down at my G2 just now and it had the empty battery blinking with the redslash. Because of my experiences with the G1, I was ready for the G2. I have 3 seperate charging/usb cables: at home, in my car, and my workplace. Is that paranoid? I just knew that with my G1, it sucked being without a phone in the late afternoon. Just now I realized I hadn't charged my G2 all day. I looked up the battery info since last unplugged today.
14:55:38 hh:mm:ss
I couldn't believe it. I use my phone pretty well throughout the day.
Here are the details of my phone usage with the stock battery. I've had the phone awhile now, so I dont abuse it nearly as much as I used too.
Stock ROM
Ota Update
Temproot via Visionary
Overclocked to 1017Mhz
Tasker: 1 task for gps using all apps that need it (maps, sky map, etc)(I should probably use this more)
Email/Texting about 10/hr throughout the day
Brightness on auto till 4:00pm, after that it was set to 20%
Wireless on for 4 hours
Bluetooth on all day
4 games of sudoku (about 10 mins each)
2 full levels of defensoid
4 hours listening to music/listen streaming application (on the road into and out of work, yea really long commute, 2nd shift)
2 hours of talk time
Tesla Led for about 10 mins
Maps looking up an alternate route in traffic
AndroidAlarm task running all day
Christmas shopping for about an hour in browser.
Surfing reddit for fun for about an hour
Reading through the black ops app guide again (trying to figure out the perfect load out) =)
A couple of other apps, but not more then a few mins each.
I'm in a HSPA+ zone 95% of the day.
profile for SetCPU plz?
and btw that's insane
I dont use a profile with setcpu. I just start it after root and then move the 1st slider all the way up. I used to have a problem with keeping the OC at whatever I was OCing too at the time. I used a profile back then. But then after switching out my sim card and the OTA, I don't have an issue with keeping the OC at 1017MHz. I would constantly use linpack to make sure the OC was working, only because it was faster then running a full quadrant.
I did notice my battery get substantial hotter after the OTA using val=(anything above 62), so thats why I just stayed at 1017Mhz.
I got my chichitec red batteries and love em so far right now i have my g2 since unplugged im at 1 d 1 hr 54 min and its still at 60 percent modertae web searching and phone calls throughout the day oced to 1497 mhz with set cpu profiles
Just recently got an Incredible. Using the HTC extended battery (2150 mAh) and I'm still only seeing ~14 hours of battery life. Also currently using CM7.
What is everyone else seeing?
I'm using the Redemtion Rom 2.2 with Incredikernel 12/21, and with the stock battery I can easily get over 20+ hours out of it. I'm also always on my phone. What kernel are you running? That might be your problem.
I'm using an 1800 battery and regularly kill my battery in half that time. I'm actually happy if I get 7 hours out of it. Since you have the 2150 battery pick up a wall charger for the stock battery and carry that on you too.

I'm with you on this. Although I send around 1000 texts a day use the phone probably an hour tops and use the internet a good bit. I call this average usage some call it insane so maybe some peoples average usage is barely talking it.

Well,
I was on the stock 2.2 OTA and I was doing ok. it was better than 1.1.
However I've recently been running 2.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865331) and my battery life has improved a little bit.
I'm running virtuous 3.2 and usually after a the day I usually get home with about 60% with pretty light usage.

I'm with you on this. Although I send around 1000 texts a day use the phone probably an hour tops and use the internet a good bit. I call this average usage some call it insane so maybe some peoples average usage is barely talking it.

With very light usage (listening to audible books via audible.com app for about 6-8hrs, 5-10mins of phone calls, limited internet) with the 2150 battery and Lou's #4 kernel I got 52hrs from charger to 14%. That is definitely not the norm, but I thought it was pretty cool =p.
Normal moderate to heavy usage I get 24ish hours from charger to 10-15%.
Na up where I live everyone gets the $5 or $10 Verizon o ly prepaid texting plan. So that's the only way we talk.

Uh 1000 texts a day. Lets say you get 5 hours of sleep. That's 19 waking hours. Thats like one text message sent every minute for 19 hours. Not to mention received. i hope you're exaggerating hahah
I use mine kind of heavily with texting maybe a couple hundred total per day. 2-3 hours screen on total, maybe 15 minutes of talk time. I get 19 hours according to Battery Left. Running CM7
I'm averaging. Quite honestly there are many times where I don't get a break to actually put my phone down for like an hour or so at a time. But I judge the thousand a day based on me resetting my handcent set counter and two weeks later iI was at just over 15000 sent.

52 hours really? I guess its possible but next time you think you could take a screen shot of Whats been using the battery folder? Im really curious about this.

Sure, I am playing around with CM 7 nightlies at the moment, but I'll switch back to my old set up and see if I cant get a ss of a number close to that for you.
As I said though, it was very light usage for a few days.
I was running CM6 with invisiblek #18 and getting over 18 hours on the stock battery with pretty consistent use
Using SR 3.5 rom and chad's latest incredikernel.
With mostly having the screen off (no more than 45 min on) it lasted 48+ hours with 22% to spare - note that is not my normal usage, just a test.
Normal usage for me is:
Solid 5-6+ hours of screen on, and it'll last a good 23 hours (as of last night, long day lol) -- Most of the time after a full day I'll plug it in with 40%+ left.
Daily usage also includes
- 45mins of GPS usage
- 2-4 hours of Pandora streaming
- ~50 txts
- ~20 minutes of phone calls
- Youtube for ~45 mins
- E-mail / web ~ an hour
- 20 minute of games
I practically live on my phone but usually make it to the end of the day with 40+% left, depending on the day may be less- but I've never gotten the notification since the Kernel and ROM change.
Overclocking above the standard 998 will drain your battery pretty quickly, more than most other things you're doing. I noticed this and also noticed that overclocking didn't do much for me because 998 was smooth for every game I was playing.
Using HTC extended battery also and I do not bump charge, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871051
I just find that hard to believe. If i stream pandora for an hour with a full charge it will drain my battery down about 20% thats using lou's #8 kernel and his redemption 2.3 rom. Thats with a 3500 seidio battery after a wall charge not a plugged in charge.
Not doubting you one bit but damn thats alot of tasking on a stock extended battery too end the day with 40% left.

I'll start, just benchmarked today, 18 hours (and running) and I have 25% of Juice Leftover. I've also got about 101 apps installed.
Connected to Wifi each time I go home, no 3g/ I'm roaming permanently due to no coverage in Oregon. No 4G either.. my sig says the rom.. Stock EC05, tailored to my liking.
And ur set up n how's ur coverage? Do u use wfi, 4g, rom?

So what is that, about 4 hrs of screen on time not including the text and email. That sounds pretty incredible. I'd like to know your setup too. Did you happen to have an extended battery with that or is that stock battery?
From cellblock D
I can get like 4.5 maybe 5 hours screen on time on eg22 stock deodex with eg22 plus kernel.
Edit-im on stock battery

I get upwards of 9-10 hours of screen time... epicurean v7 barebones. sync every hour and go launcher EX but i always keep my brightness on the lowest setting for everything. i dont go outside much during the day I txt all day long and take phone calls ranging from 5-45 minutes quite a few times. I unplugged my phone as it reached 100%, overnight it stayed at 100%!!!!! with ec05 it would be down to 45% by the morning, even on bonsai. I restarted just to make sure it wasnt stuck, nope still at 100% ive never seen that on a phone... 6h on without a percentage drop. Its still at 66% right now, ive been using it all day i expect to get 25 hours out of this charge. Simply amazing

What's your setup?
I'm on SRF 1.2 with Genocide 2.0 with EC05. Stock Battery.
At 41% at 2am -- unplugged at about 10am this morning (~16h). About an hour on calls, an hour with screen on (texting and some videos), no signal 27% of the time. My stats would be more accurate if I hadn't rebooted an hour ago. Oh well. Forecasted to to last another 10-15 hours + if I don't charge tonight.
I would love to see the stats you're getting with the amount of usage I have! I might get 2 days or more on one charge, and that would be simply awesome! Though I'm pretty happy that SRF is giving me solid stats for a day.
Btw, I'm a noob at this, so the most information you can give about your setup will be super helpful. I just learned to root and flash different ROMs/kernels last week. Also, is the ROM/kernel combo you have stable and most everything works? So far in my brief research SRF 1.2 is the best out of all of those... but I guess to each his own no? Thanks for your help!

Well Its been over 24 hours and i still have 14% My stats are all jacked up because i had to reboot 6 hours ago, but i wont be doing any flashing tomorrow so I shouldnt have to reboot unless i get some erroneous FC. Ill post a screenie around this time tomorrow.
my setup is just like i said, EG22 modem, epicurean v7 no addons id guess that means im running it unjournaled, go launcher ex honeycomb theme, and a stock battery. using go sms and no facebook, twitter etc... id think they were a big drain. I flashed straight over the latest EC05 Bonsai, i thought its battery life was good, but even with undervolts it was still usually 8-10 hours, maybe. No undervolts or overclocks. my benchmarks arent great, but my phone runs cool, smooth and for much much longer. I thought i was tied to a charger before.
25 hours, and counting, i want to see how long it will go.
Honestly this one kind of snuck up on me. I wasn't trying for a really long life but it ended that way.
RandomRom 2.3.4 "Hawk", superfreeze enabled.
31 hrs on battery
3 hrs 45 min screen on.
I was using a stock battery but it is a new stock battery I just got it about a week ago.
12% left
i did plug it in for about 30 sec to get some files off of it.
yup
Well its been as long as im gonna stay up, but i pulled it off the charger this morning, i kept it on for the first hour using it, and it stayed at 100% for the first hour. ill just post pics. still at 40%
Nice, its funny, the other day, my Epic didn't last as long, it must be a woman with its Bi-Polrar self..

my phone only lasted about 6 hours last night with medium/heavy usage. Listening to audiobook, texting and emails. Stock EH06, stock battery. not great compared to 13+ hours on SFR 1.2
I'm going to second the bizweastness of RandomRom Hawk. In terms of battery life, I just got 28 hours on one charge.
Caveat 1. About 4 hours of that was me sleeping. But still.
Caveat 2. I changed Tegrak scaling to "Powersave".
Not sure if #2 really makes any difference at all... I'm trying "Conservative" now... would be curious to hear if anyone knows for a FACT that makes a difference.
peece.
Ok just now:
10.5 Hours on Cell Standby
3 Hours of Display Screen
5.5. Hours of Wifi Use.
Syncs set Hourly. 90+ Apps. Also listened to Music for like 2 Hours.

I'm torn between RandomROM Hawk and Scrambled eggs epicurean v7... And to make matters more tough in choosing SRF 1.2 (with genocide 2.0 and EC05) is still at 71% after 15 hours... though with light use (55m screen on and 11h with wifi on).
What do you guys think as far as battery life and quality of the ROMs?
15 hours 44 min on, 30% left, display on for 3 h 10m played a fair amount of music and watched youtube for a while, text all day and took a few short phone calls. Epicurean is where its at for me, but im considering a nandroid and trying randomrom for a day, see whats up with it. Id just hate to ruin what i have now lol if i put it down and only text people to reply then it plateaus, i like that, there does seem to be some memory leakage somewhere though.
i was with srf up to 1.2, i found it to be buggy, and i got a lot of fc with it. i tried to use it, but after a week i gave up and switched to frankenstein which is a good rom, stable and fast but power hungry, i switched to bonsai then to epicurean... so far its the best.
ecooce posted this on EF02. I hear now he is using juice defender to help with low signal as he is working and screen is off, it cuts all radios. Edit, that's with 3300mah battery.
