Hey people,hows it going?
I have decided to create this thread to help people who arent very happy with their battery life pre/after the 2.1 update.
Aighty guys lets see : The improvements in 2.1 are VERY awesome if you combine it with things to make it total ownage.
Battery Life : Mine lasts 12h with very heavy usage, without usage it can last more than 48h...
Updated since sunday night so i got more than enough experience with it.
If you got bad battery life you can do followings :
1)Root + SetCPU : Lower the "Minimum" quantity so the CPU would idle very lowly and so you get more battery life ,i reccomend getting 245 there (This phase can be dangerous,if you dont know what you're doing ,skip this one)
2)Use Task Manager Pro : Shut down apps that eat the RAM, those who say "unused ram is wasted" , imo thats false as if you got more ram free : More battery life,better phone usage,less lags,and more space in case updates of twitter/fb etc come on ,i usually got around 105mb free always left (Excluded updates for social's & news & weather,live wall,android apps and stuff that i really need)
3)Still not fixed? Get a Battery-life-saver launcher and replace the Home one,as SE didnt work 2.1's home to good so its laggy and battery-eater.
4)Widgets?Have you got loads of news/updates widgets or apps? Try to lower the "Update rate", facebook updates as default each 5 mins,set it to around 2h or so,you dont need less than that.
5)Still pittyful? Check how much you use it, if i use my phone alot i get maybe less than 12h of battery life, but if you use it just the necesary trust me,you can get up to 3 days straight.
Battery life also depends on how much you use it.
5.1)Games specially can use loads of battery,so if you get a use of about 25% in 1 hour,thats very good battery life,so its normal.
5.2)Temperatures in battery can also go upper as you use it ,cause apps and your hand behind the phone cause heat,so you're alright if temp go up to 45ºC,which would be the safe limits. I would panic if it went up to 50ºC.
6)If you have just updated to 2.1 leave it a few days,it is quite bad at first as the system needs to update all its settings ,all its new stuff,just like when you install a new OS on a computer,it needs to "Start windows for the first time".
7)If its still very bad,then your battery might be damaged,get a new one and remember that the first 2-3 charges to take at least 8h,to make sure its lifespan is gonna be high.
In conclusion : Dont just say "My battery life sucks now", Battery depends on how much you use the phone,on how much your apps/timescape/mediascape/Social feeds/News feeds use your phone as much as gps/wifi/bluetooth of it.
Check everything you can,do everything i said and then see if ur battery is damaged or not,cause the 2.1 system didnt do worse,it actually did better than 1.6 after its perfectly settled.
Hope this helps out,take care ^

very good writeup, which launcher do you recommend?
in regards to this i believe you but it's just not happening to me
please suggest something.
my battery is awesome on standby....but as soon as i turn screen on and play for eg angry birds for 1hr it drops approx 25%. is that how it should be?
no wifi bluetooth gps etc. live wallpaper is there but i also try w/o live wallpaper. i use task killer and kill off unnecessary things
the only thing i haven't done is root and reduce cpu speed because the phone should work quite well w/o me having to do that.
My temp goes up to 43 at times. is that normal?
what am i doing wrong?

So far , LauncherPro did a very good job for me,there are loads of stuff you can tweak there like even from 3 to 7 homescreens, as you wish,the less the more battery so,depends on which you wish,you can select.
Also Helix Launcher is very famous for beeing able to save battery alot, tho it hasnt got so many options like LauncherPro.
If its very good battery life your searching : Helix Launcher
If you're looking for a good balanced launcher : LauncherPro
Goodluck.

25% in a hour after playing? Yes that is normal as games stress the CPU and screen brightness to max, so yes after gaming the battery does suffer a bit.
Nah if you dont want dont reduce cpu min speed.
Imo ,charge the phone completely , then right after charging , play Angry birds for 1h again and check battery. Sometimes the battery discharges faster than other times (Depends on the charge of it, if its @ 95% it will go down alot faster,unlike if its at 30%,it will go down slower. Its just a battery theory that is accurate most of the time)
So check from what % you started playing to what % you've stopped playing.
Tell me the results then.
And then i repeat,make sure you reduce facebook/twitter/email "update rate".
(More time(once in 2h not in each 5 mins) = Better cause it will access the internet less so more battery)

I used to support it, till I opened my mind to those theories, so now I argued. With many reading and my own experiment, I would still argue that droid are doing best it could.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777034
With my summary, without ATK could result in even better battery life.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678205&page=10
Some technical statement about android memory.
HOWEVER,
To correct your statement, it's TRUE that leaving more processes behind could result in significant drain of battery, but this is due to CPU usage, not RAM.
So yes, Leaving some process which draining CPU power behind could give much worse battery life.
So IMO, it more depends on your background process, but I would say that in most situation, just leave the droid do its job
7)If its still very bad,then your battery might be damaged,get a new one and remember that the first 2-3 charges to take at least 8h,to make sure its lifespan is gonna be high.

You don't need that any longer. But it's true that the lifespan could be 'higher' after a few usage, but this is due to 'calibration', not the performance of the battery itself.
Imagine
real battery is 10%, android report 3%
real battery is 90%, android report 100%
so you are using only 10% to 90%, that considered 20% lose.
Li-po batteries ain't meant to be drain to the last, if you do thy won't last and you soon be needing to replace your battery, I would think that it is programmed to monitor the usage to not do that but the battery % that you see is not actually whats left on the battery itself.
I was reading a pdf ebook and the battery dropped around 35% in 2 hours :S
I'm running the battery test in the service menu at the moment to see if my battery is faulty.
I don't use a manager - i don't use setCpu and I can easily get 24 hours + since 2.1
I'm just saying .
I stream music from di.fm using wifi 8h/day.
My phone lasts about 4h so, i have to charge it 3 times/day
Now, i want to see tips how to improve this

good idea never knew battery test existed in the service menu =]
shall try it tonight
just have a look on the attached photo , i took the photo when the indicator was 15% , still i can ran the phone for another 2 or 3 hours .
I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that the display chews through more battery than before.
Could be that I'm playing games too much but I don't think so. I seem to get the same battery life on idle, but as soon as I do anything (esp. games or talking) the battery just seems to nosedive. Never noticed this before (I used to get two-three days depending on the usage now I'm down to a day or two).
I'm gonna try and do some tests over the next while (starting with flashing back to 1.6 and retesting that properly).
tipically, display (screen) accounts for 2/3s of the total battery usage
check the battery usage app (settings -> battery), you'll be amazed
then make a simple test:
reduce brightness by half and your battery will last A LOT longer
Personaly, I prefer to carry my charger than dimming the screen

Back,soz my internet crashed -_-
And true,the Screen uses 2/3 or even more, everytime i check it sucks around 75% or so if you use it alot.
Also @Cebees Yes thats true,thats why i sugested a task manager Cutting processes cleans ram memory but also cleans cpu usage.
True you can let the droid do its things but most of the time its not Droid who is eating the battery to death,its 3rd party apps which remain On even after usage (Like when you select a live wall and then change it,the other remains on and some walls arent very good optimized so ...if 1 Live-wall eats a bit of battery,imagine 3 or 4 ?)
Also : Gaming / GPS navigation And Wifi Navigating are the main and most power hungry tasks for a phone to do,so its normal that if you're doing any of those,the battery lasts like nothing.
One Tip : Always take ur charger with you Also take the MicroUSB->USB cable off your charger and use it while your in your car (Buy a Cigarette->USB adaptor,costs less than 10 quid) and then you can charge it while you're in your/your dad's car, that way you'll maintain the battery a bit more alive.
Also if you really think your battery just isnt up for your needs, there is a 3600mAh (Think its Called Mugen 3600 or smth)battery out there for the X10,it is kinda bulky but it doubles and some times even more the life of the normal 1500mAh Stock battery.
Btw,if you want to buy a new battery and a 3600mAh one is too expensive,try to get a 2000+ one...as there was tested that up to 1800mAh arent exactly Shiny,just a very slight (Minutes)improvement over the stock 1500mAh one.
As you can see,there's loads of things that can cause a battery life to be poor
So keep on trying ^^ Im sure it will all go great.
I charged mine yesterday at morning,and i still got 67% Today,so i believe i can manage a total of 3 days straight ...and i did eventually use my phone to listen to music,put some live walls and make some calls.
Also trust me...the Launcher does make a diference,specially if you get the Helix one...i used it and my battery used to manage up to almost 5 days straight (With little use).
Oh and @Cebees : I know that the 8hour thing isnt exactly necesary today , but eventhought they say its not ,i believe i've been told by someone who knows about this that its good for the battery to be totally maxed in the first charges and then left to total emptyness(if possible until phone shuts down or is about to) that way it does calibrate (As you said before) and it does also maximise its life (Technically,i could be wrong , but my always done that with my wife's and daughter's phone and they always worked like a charm and trust me ,my daughter cant get her hands off her phone -_-)

Something bothers me here. During your intro, you say with "very heavy" usage, you get 24 hours battery. Then. In step 5, you say that if you use your phone alot, you get maybe less than 12 hours usage. I dont get it. :-S

My battery life got worse on 2.1.
On 1.6 I would unplug my phone at 6:20 am and listen to music for an hour then I would mess with my phone a little bit between 7:20 and 2:15. Then after that I would listen to music for another hour while surfing facebook. By time I get home at 3:20 I'm down to 60 percent. But if I do that on 2.1 by time I get home I'll be at 30 percent. Also I have juice defender ultimate that shuts off my 3g everytime the screen is off.

first off, i love this phone. no joke, but the battery is well...laughable to say the least. on my HD2 running android, i get double the battery life and they HD2's battery is a 1200 battery, the EVO'S is a 1500. and android boots off the SD CARD and has NO POWER MANAGEMENT on HD2'S. my evo dropped to 54 percent battery today in 3.5 hours. no wifi, no bluetooth, no GPS and no 4G...all im saying is... WHAT THE ****!
It gets better. Load up some custom kernals + setcpu and you'll get great life. I'm running CM6 + snap 8.2 and it lasts the whole day with moderate use.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
There is plenty of info on battery issues with EVO.
First... I would recommend rooting.
Second, use the FRESH build based off the new OTA leak.
Finally, change Settings / Mobile Networks / [uncheck] Enable Always-on
Then... ALWAYS keep your WiFi radio on. Add your home network if you have one... and wherever you go, add whatever hotspots you are in proximity of.
And if you ever consider doing a new build, backup your WiFi access point data via Titanium Backup before you do.
That should just about cover it... You will get a full day of use PLUS some out of that battery.

i rooted my phone within 2 hours of purchasing it...i will look into what you mentioned later. im gonna condition my battery for the 4th time in 5 days..
PS those 3500mah batteries on ebay for 10$ and the same 2000mah batteries.
If you get one, get a seido. I just bought 2x1500mah batteries from tuttoit, great backup batteries... charger too 9.96$ shipped.
Oh and I am getting great battery life with snap and cyanogen's rom.
yeah i am going to look into all the batteries, and i love sense, that is why im not on CM6. all my other phones are running it (G1, MT3G HD2). now that i have a phone that runs sense naturally, i dont wanna change it. i love sense! and this thread was just a way for me to vent about my crappy battery.... lol

When you rooted it, did you also flash the newest radios? Trust me on the fresh build.. it rocks... but also, most importantly, use WiFi whenever possible... and turn off "always update"... those are all the most important.

No when I got my evo I was clearly.told and shown a doc from sprint (the manager over mobile area is a buddy) to tell everyone to expect 6 hours of battery life with normal use. I was able to squeeze out 8 - 9 myself. I know people say conditioning the battery is a waste of time . IMHO do it I noticed a nice increase in battery life. I have to laugh at people who get pissy about battery life when they are holding a mini PC.
Myself i avg. 18-20 hours a charge with normal use. I have 2 backup batteries so I don't worry to much about juice
from the fade
I really dont feel the Evo is a bad phone h, hell I love the damn thing . I just feel HTC kinda screwed up things in the process . One telling customers to expect 6 hours of use is alittle of a joke . Who the hell only works six hours a day ? Or is that six hours also include you getting up getting ready for work then coming home before you go to bed ? Second , its pretty clear the Evo has a bug in its charging system . People have reported that using stand alone wall chargers to charge the batteries they are getting improved life out of the batteries (Sorry I have never removed a battery from any cellphone I have had in the past to charge it and not gonna start now) . Third yes the HTC Evo is litterally a pocket pc with capabilities most phones dream of having . Then why the hell did they give it a 1500mah battery ? Thats like strapping a 55 gallon drum of fuel to the space shuttle and saying "Yeah this outta make it" . Sorry for my rant had to get it out (plugs phone in to charge again) LOL
OP, I like you, you're funny
A couple things..
1) Why do you have your CPU governed below 700mHz while awake??? You won't save battery that way, your phone runs at a gHz, use it!!
2) Setting your min/max both at 245 on sleep will actually decrease your battery life and your phones wake up performance, maybe not much. Capping your phone at 245 when asleep makes it a harder transition to awake because it makes that sudden jump when you wake it up. Setting your max somewhere over 600 on asleep, and setting it to OnDemand will ease the transition from sleep to awake.
There is no shortage of battery life tips but here's one: The auto rotate function polls for g-sensor status like once every 15 milliseconds. I use a switch on my homescreen to turn it on when I want it and keep it locked in portrait when I don't need it. This will help conserve some juice
I'm only scratching the surface here, I'm sure you do realize what a wealth of info there is on the subject already. FWIW, I use the crap out of this phone and I consistently get 20+ hours out of a charge. Good battery performance is achievable!

20+ Damn, what rom and kernel are you using? Im kinda having the same problems too. Im limiting my phone tryin to get better batt, that ****ing sucks. I just want to use my damn phone, without much sacrifice. Thanks
Why the hell do you have 4 phones running the same OS?
Hungry Man ~
Lately I've been running the latest update of the same ROM (Nonsensikal Froyo - now 15.2) without any CPU apps (no o/c'ing through script either), no autokiller, no battery tweaks (just Juice Plotter) only 1 widget (Fancy Widget Pro), JIT enabled, VM heap @32, compcache @18 (default) and depending on which app I look at, TiB or RE, I have +/-110mb of free RAM, very minimal apps. Also, I upgraded to CFSv9. I even bought a Seidio Innocell 1750mh extended life battery. I recalibrate my battery after flashes ....
Oh yeah, a little more info, I am not a power user, just an average user with poor to ok reception, I tend to use wireless at my house b/c reception out here in the woods ain't good, but turn it off when not needed. I use airplane mode during sleeping hours as well. The max of my battery usage is Display, then And OS.
Ok, now the question ..... If I don't use airplane mode, I get maaaaaay-be 6-8 hours of average phone usage, usually less !!
What finally broke me to PM you now is that (i recently put numbers on my battery icon) while typing a text message earlier (a few minutes tops, not on wireless) I watched my battery click down from 50 to 48 !!!
When I charge my phone full & I easily lose 10% in half an hour (I've tried this with SetCPU, JD, CBT, Super Power, CPUBoost Lite - I think you get the gist) ... and not including airplane mode, I NEVER get more than 6-8 hours of battery life !!!
Is there any knowledge that you can give me on this issue or have I pretty much exhausted my options ? I am this PM short of resigning to crappy battery life
Many Thanks for your time ~
Matt

What does the phone/Spare Parts say is using all the battery? Have you tried flashing and then using the phone without installing apps (other than the essentials?) Are you leaving the phone idle, screen off, and noticing the same big drop?
You could try going to stock for a bit to see if it improves...or trying a different ROM. Maybe you have a dud battery?
Edit: Sorry, you may have meant this to be directed at someone specifically.
Just an observation. If you're not using anything to overclock the phone maybe the battery life would be better if you at least underclock it. I suggest Conap's CPUBoost Lite, free on the market and here. Just set the minimum frequency to 245760 (my suggestion), and I currently have the screen off Minimum to 19200 and the screen off Maximum to 480000.
Also, I used to use Juice Plotter. I theorized that maybe Juice Plotter wasn't great for my battery itself.

I noticed the same thing when I used Juice Plotter. I got significantly less battery life when i had it. Try deleting Juice Plotter and see if you get more life out of your battery.
well you've noted your in a poor coverage area, and that is your problem, nothing can completely fix other than moving, but you may want to research flashing a new radio, becareful and check your md5 hash sums

Actually, the Verizon Network Extender can definitely help without moving. http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=gotoFemtocell
It's $250, but probably a lot cheaper than moving, and it should help with battery life. It does with me - I get 24-32 hours on a 1750 battery, with WiFi on all of the time (I have the old, non-3G extender.)
I'm running Tazz Froyo and get a minimum of 24 hrs on stock battery. I would try changing roms.
Battery life on my eris was never good, that's why you buy a extended battery. I have the biggest one that they have on amazon and my battery can last for five days with average use

It's $250, but probably a lot cheaper than moving, and it should help with battery life. It does with me - I get 24-32 hours on a 1750 battery, with WiFi on all of the time (I have the old, non-3G extender.)

so my battery has been draining really fast too, but my question is does the battery recalibration work? some people have said their battery drops even faster but is that only the first time?
PS. ive been on xtrrom for awhile now (like a month and a half) and it just started dropping. spare parts says android system is greater than the rest, if that helps

Yes, it works if you do it propely. Charge phone to 100%, boot into recovery, wipe battery stats, reboot phone. Use your phone as normal until the battery is fully discharged and it shuts the phone off. I sometimes try to turn it back on also just to make sure it is all the way dead. Plug your phone in to charge it, walk away, don't touch it until it is 100% charged. Turn your phone on and use it as normal. It sometimes will take a few times charging it to see a difference. If I missed anything or mistyped anything some one correct me please lol
I've had a very sudden and dramatic improvement in battery life and I thought that I'd post what seems to have worked for me.
I installed setCPU and set it for
768/254 on demand - main
245/245 performance screen off
368/368 performance - battery<41%
battery<101% 768/245 on demand
I installed Ultimate JuiceDefender and set it for extreme - blocking all connectivity except for a white-list
I decided that I could do a better job than the auto screen, so I installed Brightness level and I keep it generally at about 20% and then flick it up a bit if I need it.
I disabled auto rotation and now toggle the screen with a widget.
I've taken phone calls, recorded phone calls, checked email a few times, tweeted - very often using wifi which I operate using a toggle widget
I had the phone on charge all night switched off.
Disconnected it at 8.00 this morning and at 6.30 this evening, the JD widget tells me that there is still 12hrs and 28 mins of battery time left.
Considering the size of the screen and what this phone does. And considering the very poor battery life - 8hrs max I was getting before, I am far happier and the phone now becomes a practical item to have.
Whats your percentage battery left?
seems to be saying 72%
I also noticed that for the first time screen usage is less than running usage.
Screen consumption has always been the big factor on phone - and I see that is what people say on the forum, so I'm very pleased to have reduced it so well.
The Brightness level app allows a variable control whereas all the other screen controllers have seen allow you only to rotate through three or four preset brightness levels.
Brightness Level lets you do that with a widget but it also has a slide bar, which is what I was looking for
So basically you've downgraded the DHD to a level of a Nokia S40 device imo As this has been covered by many others in many other battery life related threads I'm just saying this short and simple. Just use the device as it is supposed to, enjoy the awesome features it provides at the full potential and don't get fixated on the battery life, it'll get you through the day no problem (doesn't include playing angry birds for three hours straight ) and just plug it in when you have the chance.
About battery, some tips, my battery life is around 2 days with normal usage of phone, only i dont use 3g only wi-fi:
Brightness - between 25% and 50%
When you on the internet and use native explorer for android go to "Menu-more-settings-enable plugins" and set it to "On demand"
Tupe *#*#4636*#*# - "Phone information" and set "Preffered network type" to "GSM Auto Prl"

your on stock rom mate?
i can see that you can charge your phone while its turnd off..
i think on customized ROM like ARHD LD CORE cm7 and etc cannot charge their phone while its off because iT will BOOTup to recovery mode
Doesn't performance mode just keep the CPU clock on it's maximum? It would rather shorten the battery life than prolong it.
Why buy a smartphone and use it like a landline lol i hammer my phone and still get 10-14 hours out of it, thats fine for me, i only get 3hrs out of my laptop lol

Mate there is something eating your battery if u only get 8 hours battery life.
These adjustments you made are unnecessary if you find the culprit that is eating your battery, why get a phone like the dhd and run it on 20% brightness and lower the cpu to such a level.
Have you used spare parts to check your battery usage?
Im currently on 40% and my phone has been unplugged since 27 hours and I don't even have setcpu installed.
Maybe you should post details on your barret usage!
Swyped from my sexy galaxy tab
But I'm not compromising anything now. I'm completely happy with the way that the phone works for me now.
I'm actually operating the screen at 12% for most of the time - when I am not outside and it doesn't present any difficulty for me.
Obviously I would always like better battery life and I'll look for more ways to improve it.

According to setCPU, if you set it to on demand, it will keep on scanning for required power level. Performance automatically goes to the max. Apparently on demand uses slightly more power so they advice to use performance when possible. So I set the same max/min figure and use a performance governor.
i would actually consider rooting the phone as an alternative, or getting a bigger battery. i have alot of issue with the battery life previously, but after switching rom, it actually help alot
Well it is rooted to enable JD and setcpu to work. But I haven't dared go further because I am still trying to understand the entire process - and also the way back!
I probably will eventually.
I've ordered a 1500 Mugen - and if that actually exists and if it is an improvement on the stock battery then that will advance things as well.
I'm very pleased with the improvement I have achieved so far because at least I'm able to take the thing off the tit for a full working day and use it as a real mobile phone!!

Yup2x, it's true that we can charge it very well while in recovery mode. I was referring to the situation wherein the printer reboots to recovery as soon as you plug in the charger to your DHD. Some users have reported that and they are all using 3.x.x.x.

As far as I've understood, you will always have max frequency when performance is applied. So there is no use setting min value really as it doesn't matter.

By far the most excellent advice. I totally agree with you.
Some hints:
1) Flash Bi-Winning V2. Not V3 as I found the V2 has better battery, and V3 doesn't have too many advantages.
2) Keep brightness at low or medium-low. I doubt you need to ever put it on high. If you really want to be smart, use a brightness widget. (the one from curvefish works well
3) Try to have little to no widgets on homescreen. If you must have widgets, use trusted/well-reviewed ones. I installed a clock widget and it drained my battery in 9 hours.
If the above still does not work, then continue. If you are feeling you are getting great battery life, then continue. NOTICE: One major reason why people are getting poor battery life is too much tinkering. After seeing other people are getting better battery life, they try to flash new kernels/modems/roms/etc... and it turns out the new is worse than the old. Then they go and complain. SUMMARY: If you are feeling you have good battery life, then leave it. You should only worry if you do not get at least 12 hours on VERY LIGHT usage. (5 phone calls lasting 10 minutes, Checking emain every 30 minutes. Having fetch for 10 minutes, not push. No widgets, no music, no games etc...
4) If you still do not have good battery with biwinning v2 flash the BALI UV kernel.
5) If you still do not have good battery, try other kernels. Kernel is the one that mainly controls battery.
6) Do you live in an area with poor reception? Try a modem that has good signal-getting abilities. Searching/switching drains battery.
7) If you still do not have good battery, try other roms.
8) If you still do not have good battery, then there is something seriously wrong. Either you are using the phone too heavily (gps etc...) or your battery is worn down. Get a stock replacement.
9) If you are here then just get a extended battery. There must be something wrong with your phone, so either exchange phone or get extended battery. If you do not want buldge get a 1600 or 1650 mah battery.
10) If you are here then throw your phone of a cliff and get this:
http://marginprice.amazonwebstore.com/Nokia-3390-Himalaya-Wht-Faceplate-Back/M/B001KKZQ4Y.htm
11) If you still do not get good battery live under a rock.
NOTE: EVERYONE'S battery life will vary based on usage and other factors.
That said, I am getting 30 hours usage with 50% left. 20 minutes of gaming, 8 phone calls, checking email.
YOUR tips aren't going to work for EVERYONE else.
Everyone's phone is unique, they use it differently, at different times, it depends on what YOU do.
If your gonna use your phone for HD Graphic games 24/7 its not gonna last 10 hours its common sense.
If your so worried about your battery then you know you should turn off GPS/Blue Tooth/ Turn down Brightness.
It's all common sense.
What i don't like you did was firstly, single out ONE ROM for having the best battery, depending on your usage.
Truthfully, i get 2 days of battery on CM7. I don't use my phone to play games and **** not all the time at least, text, phone, music, news , and browsing is what i use it for.
I forgot who it was i think it was Eugene who said
If you want your battery to last, treat it like your mother, not a piss poor whore.
Could also be because bi-winning v3 is still in beta while v2 is not.

Not starting a flame war but..
Counter-Point 1) I originally stated that results will vary.

That's all... Goodnight!
Seriously, battery life has to be the #1 topic or complaint on every Android forum about every ROM, Kernel,or Modem. Thx for the tips krackers and everyone else who tried to find a way to conserve battery on these life sucking smartphones we have now days. Also, you're right xriderx66 "EVERY VIBRANT IS DIFFERENT" no matter how you look at it. What works for one person won't work for the other. By now we all should know the basics of batt. conservation, like what to turn off / remove and to o/c or not to o/c and of course the biggest battery drainer which is how long the screen is on or how bright u have it.
My point that I'm trying to make and that I had made on other forums (which alot of people didn't care about) its that we have these phones that could do so much but we constantly trying to conserve battery so we take the goodness out of the damm phones. I wanna have all the widgets I want running, I wanna have my brightness to 100% so I could see it well in the sun, I wanna have my bluetooth on all the time so I dont need to pull my phone out and dirty it at work. I wanna have either my wifi or data on all day cuz ant any given moment I wanna listen to Pandora, go on you-tube, or browse the web without having to switch this **** on or off, I wanna have my phone running like 95% of other Android user who don't even know what the hell a ROM or Kernel is but don't worry about tweaking this or that like we do so they enjoy their phones even though it kills their batteries.
So how do I do it??? Simple.... I went on eBay. I got three t959 batteries for $12 total (with s&h).I got a t959 battery charger for $3.50 total. I got a wall and car charger set for my phone for $5 total. Now I got a phone charger at home,work, and car. I got a battery charger for all my batteries. I got three fully charged x-tra batteries ready to swap whenever I need to (and not the 3500mah cuz I dont like my phone fat). All that for $20.50. That is how much it cost me to stop being obsessed with my battery life and to fully enjoy my phone. I think alot of you out there should think about doing the same so you're not obsessed with battery life. ENJOY YOUR PHONE PEOPLE
Dear All,
Its been quiet some time trying to do enough experiments with custom ROM, battery life apk and all that can tweak CPU....seems a solution is getting into place. My device started giving a decent battery life, of 3% drop for an idle usage time of 8 hrs. Things done as below:
1. Root - Yes required
2. Good Custom ROM - using currently Ultimate ROM - thanks to the developer, its a great ROM
3. Install Greenify - this is one apk you will love unlike other task killing apk, hibernation is better
4. Install CPU Spy - Come with default with this ROM
5. Juice defender - just to ensure be sure all things are controlled.
Thats it, your device is ready to rock. I charged to 75% battery before sleeping, disabled of course Wifi and other data and removed all unnecessary task killers, battery managers etc. Gave a 3% dip in battery after 8 hrs. Post that a charge of again to 75% with a normal usage of calls( around 10 calls average talk time of 2 minutes), Wifi for reading mails and still the battery 15% after using for 5 hrs !!!. Earlier this used to tank in 3 hrs, so i believe a decent battery time.
Hope it helps readers to address battery issue.
Mine gives 1 percent drop full night maybe 8 hrs without any mods.
Maybe I know which rom and kernel. Thanks.

What's a difference if I will use 1% or 3% over night if in 1h of web browsing or gaming will loose 30%?
For heavy users benefits are negligible. Few mA on undervolting few on lowering brightness and black theme but still the screen is the hugest drain and rest is nothing if you do not have wake-locks. Most of the time my screen uses 60-70% with all connectivity enabled and no juice saving apps and no matter how many tweaks applied, we have to live with screen consuming a lot of juice even on minimum brightness. Liked a lot juice defender on hd2, now on note not much difference.

Thanks all for your feedback. Yes its true in any case we will have less than 3% drop if left idle, but i tried to check battery usage, "Screen usage" is high if used for a full time, earlier it was "Android" using more. Anyways thanks all for you information. AS Nigi mentioned we just have to live with it - No matter what we do, if for a day it works with 15% battery remaining it would be just sufficient.
Any lo!!!! Hear S4 is on the move - With octacore and DDR3 RAM. May be its going to be a gamechanger in saving battery !!!!

Galaxy Note has a large enough battery to standby for days (Official: 32 days on 3G, 40 days on 2G) without tweakings or modings. On ICS Stock ROM on airplane mode, during the night, a 100% battery remains 100% the morning after. I don't know what else I could have asked for a better battery performance out of my phone.
To get the best performance out of any smartphone one has to layout the expectations first and then become technically educated with the basics "properly" before changing usage habbits.
Laying out the expectations
Choosing a 5.3" device when smaller screen sizes were already available dictates the specific requirements one had. These could be physical (i.e., big hands, bad eyes), usage (i.e., reading and writing for long period of times, playing games, watching videos), or seeking differentiation (i.e., showing off, standing out).
When you know why you purchased Galaxy Note then we can move on to the technical stuff.
Technical - Basics
Bigger screens draw more power, the brighter the screen is the more power it needs. These are scientific facts and Galaxy Note's screen by no means is power efficient.
Web Browsing is the most, if not one of, task intensive job one can execute with his or hers Galaxy Note. Often Original Note scores poorly in web browsing benchmarks and this is not down to the screen size alone. When the CPU has the right sets of instructions corresponding tasks are performed much faster and with more power effiency. In my opinion the Exynos CPU used in Original Note does not support the crucial instructions in regards to the Web Browsing related processes and something is wrong with the internal flash disk components, be it software, hardware or both. Samsung has so far resisted in releasing its Exynos's source codes and I'm suspicious they have something to hide.
On the other hand, Note II offers excellent Web Browsing benchmark results, even better than the newly released Qualcomm 600 CPU. The battery capacity in Note II is not twice as Original Note but battery performance is almost twice as much in many respects. The overclocked Mali-400, 440MHz from 266MHz, in Note II should drain battery more but the CPU which is based on the same ARM architecture (ARMv7, ARM Coretex-A9) provides far better power efficiency. Thanks to the smaller semiconductor in Exynos 4412 (SGIII and Note II) which is 32nm versus SGII and Note's Exynos 4210 which is 45nm. The smaller nm number is the lower power consumption is.
There is no magic wand that can make Original Note more power efficient as it is. So no matter one does there is no way web browsing can be streched by more than 10 to 15 minutes in low screen brightness, period. Four hours is what we all get.
Change of habbits
Now that we understand there is a power capacity that cannot be stretched we however, can change habbits to get the maximum performance out of Note.
I adamantly opposed any software utility as a solution to extend the battery performance. They come at a cost which is not justified. I don't wish to go through the details but a simple daily reboot which is also recommended by the manufacturers will do the job these software claim to do. These apps mainly free memory while consuming battery.
Be sensible in choosing apps, be responsible in managing them. Once you realise the real reason you own a smartphone your choice for apps will be narrowed down anyway. Monitor the impacts of the newly apps on RAM and overall performance of your phone and then decide whether the app stays or goes.
Google Play app is a culprit to many issues. Literally Google Play is connected to various services for different reasons. One of GP's job is to check for app updates. The more apps installed the more battery is consumed to run the checks, download the updates, and finally installing them.
Be smarter than your smartphones.

Why are people so excited by a little battery drain during the night while wi-fi and data are shut down?
My matter is not having a long life battery on a phone I don't use and I find the night is the best moment to have my phone plugged and to let all applications updates and massive data exchanges be done.
My matter is to have the best battery life during the day when I'm on the my way and use the phone, browse, take pictures and films, send and read sms and mails, use GPS, read books and magazines, watch movies or listen to music.
Posté depuis mobile.
I want both.
wakelocks = most common issue in standby battery life. Almost everyone encounters them and once they know how to analyze that (ahalfords sticky q&a section) that can be minimized
When awake, tons of other stuff n tweaks.
Both should not enhibit daily functioning. The moment I dont have the feeling, oh I need to not use the phone because I will have no juice is or I need to charge it/swap batteries is the moment I dream for. Such pda's dont exist yet. Not without changing ridiculously behaviour/usage and/or charging. Devices arent there yet. Soon they will.
However, its pretty good now with new battery and changing. I have had far worse lol.
