EVO battery life owns my Epic

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 :-(

What rom are you using? Did you odin to stock? Calibrate your battery?
I'm on supernova:
Froze drm via titanium
Juice defender
Uv kernel
And I'm getting about 15 with moderate use..

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?

Watch for SyndicateROM Frozen, paired with the Twilight Zone kernel, in the next 24 hours. ACS team lead rjmjr69 got 30 hours of heavy use on the stock battery at 1.2ghz, and 16 hours extreme use (4G, WiFi, 3G, lots of SMS, MMS, email, web browsing, voice calls).
The benefits of a Lost Carrier...

Hrm, ill keep an eye out. I usually have gone custom rom by now but like the Epic's stock ui, need the customizability of 2.2, and havn't seen a daily use rom that's fully stable yet for it...

There will be a Fully Loaded version including TouchWiz.

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).
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

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.

Am I the only one with horrible battery life?

My battery was great when I first got it but now it dies within 8-9 hrs with barley any use...is there anything I ca do to fix this?

Need more info like he said.......... But Read the Sticky about battery and look at some of the custom roms. They get great battery life.
And Yes, you may be the only one..............

I get horrible battery life. Running the Stock KA6 Froyo build. No custom roms. I think I would like the phone more if it got better battey life. I get 12 hrs max. No heavy usage on phone either. NO GPS OR WIFI on either.

This is probably the most asked question I see here. I recommend the search feature
If you're on a stock or leaked ROM, your battery is going to suck. Root, download Titanium Backup and start by freezing both DRM Processes and Media Hub for starters.
Next, spend the $2 and download an app called "SystemPanel". Run if for 24 hours. It will tell you what is draining your battery. The hardware is perfectly capable of good battery life. The more bloatware (Samsung and T-Mobile Apps) and crap apps you remove from your system, the better. Also, 3G, especially in area's with poor reception, will eat your battery life. In my experience, EDGE + WiFi is MUCH more friendly than 3G with no wifi. WiFi Calling is a battery killer as well. Getting great life is really quite easy once you know what you're doing, and the best way to know what you're doing is to read up.

Just think how much more you'd love the phone if it not only got better battery life, but also preformed like you would expect a 1GHz cpu to perform! Try a new kernel and let the addiction begin!
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick I like to pretend is running Trigger 2.7 on OverStock 1.3...

I get around 40 hours with light use. Running the latest bionix rom. wifi and bluetooth enabled the whole time, approx 90 minutes with the screen on. You should be able to get close to that.

Quick question: I run system panel. It never show media hub in top apps, why should I freeze it then?
P.s. I don't use media hub...am judge curious.

No **** that CM7 has bad battery life, it doesn't have optimizations. And 5% is exaggerating it, I lose 2% an hour with 3G on. I'd say that's pretty good.
Yes, it does die VERY quickly when you use it, but I expected that, that's why I use my iPod for heavy usage.
Also, the 1% thing, what kind of weed are you smoking? That seems like some REALLY good stuff.

Okay sorry about that lie. Truthfully moderate usage of 8 hours I lost about 20% I left a screenshot and from 100% I lost that in about 20 min no screenshot.

GUYS HE'S RIGHT! I just flashed Darkyy's rom 2 days ago, and i haven't lost a single percent.
Maybe the phone being off has something to do with it?
Even on standby, it will lose 1-3% in a hour.

It's a general saying;
Light means it wasn't used that much but still a bit
Moderate, you check your phone once in a while, texting phone calls etc.
Heavy is when your phones like on 24/7(not literally, but i'm guessing you know what i mean)

The battery meter doesn't seem to be very linear. You are best off to run it dead and see how many hours your phone lasts. I can make it all day with 75% left, but it will be down to 40% in the morning.

Way to get battery battery life?

Hey guys, I'm sorry if there already are posts on this but yeah. My phone is only getting 12 hours max on faux 1.3 ghz and my rom is homebase 3.3 de-blur extreme
and i also have setcpu and I uv it and no widgets. But people are getting like 24 hours+ of heavy usage on their battery...What rom/kernel/uv settings are capable of getting that?

drop the oc kernel and replace with faux enhanced 2.0 1 ghz , setcpu only controls one core at the moment , faux has alittle more work to do on his kernal to get full control of 2nd core so it's not runing at 1300 and burning up battery power
homebase 3.4, update 5.4a , faux enhanced 2.0 1 ghz kernel . battery last for 2 days + 20% left
use setcpu , set up profiles, underclock the profiles
task manager, add most of the apps to auto end list

For me it helped to get rid of market, gmail app, set CPU profiles, alarms, auto syncing, Ebay, juice defender! Google apps seem to be worst offenders.

Battery Life
I had the same problem recently, especially with Faux's 2.0 kernel @ 1.1ghz(1.9 had better battery life :/). Even with Juice Defender(the saint of batter life) I was only getting like 16 hours. My first suggestion is to use 1ghz for standard use, and to create a CPU profile which drops clock speed to 216mhz when screen is off. The difference between 1.1ghz and 1ghz with me was 80% after 12 hours compared to 30%. As I mentioned before, if you're rooted, get JuiceDefender. It has typically gets me 1.4x-1.5x the battery life. That is, even in you're sad case, 6 hours of extra life. Finally, kill Facebook and Browser when you're not using them, they seem to kill battery life.

I don't miss any of it. I check gmail manually via k9 mail , and I can thaw market if I need it. Right now I'm 14 hours with 42% batt.

How much are you using the phone? And how long does it last?

Im constantly texting, probably send and receive 400 a day? Im at 8000 and it has been a month lol. And im always on facebook to, I get 10 hours. And I live with a laggy phone that's usually at 216 even when im using it to prevent it from dying but it still does, im on faux 1.3ghz and I only overclock when I play nintendo64 , blur was horrible for me my phone would almost be dead by lunch and ill try juice defender.

Cyanogenmod 7 with faux's enhanced stock kernel for CM7. Make sure you have the correct radio and calibrate your battery, another member has already posted the link to that thread. I don't use juice defender or any other task killers or anything like that. Brightness turned to 20%, set CPU profile set to powersave, gps satellites disabled. I'm at 7 hours and 46 minutes with 86% left. This is with 124 texts sent, 1 five or so minute call and a couple pictures taken. If this set up doesn't work for you consider buying a new battery.

I don't know about that set-up that's what my phone is set at, I want a better battery life then 10 hours I wanna get like 16 hours if I can

1. looks normal, cell standby is usually the highest on MIUI. how long was your display on?
2. your OC settings look a little high for everyday use. I would try to OC lower and use the superbad governor. my settings are 1017/122 superbad and everything runs smoothly
3. looks like messaging and settings are taking up some memory, try killing those with the task killer. hold down the home button and a window will pop up, on the bottom there is "task killer"
4. looks normal with your OC settings
*edit* Battery Calibration app from the market also works really well, give it a shot. charge your phone til its 100%, and leave it plugged into the charger. run the app, calibrate your battery, then unplug and youre done

Thanks! Ill definitely make those adjustments and post results in a similar time frame. I didnt know I had a built in task killer ... dam i just freed 142MB! woohoo!

Well, here is my 2 cents.
Keep i'm mind that I had pandora running continuously for almost 5 hours. I unplugged my phone at 11 am. It has been running for almost 13.hours..
I have noticed that if my phone is hooked to a wifi signal, the battery last easy 3 times more.
3 days ago I had it running for 14.hours and it was still at 74%, of course, very little use, since I was a working all day

Factory reset
Install my basic apps
Drain the battery to zero
Charge it all the way to 100%
Calibrate it with the app on the market
let the battery die again til zero
Charge it again til 100%
After the second day, it was going.better
Fyi, if I am constantly on non wifi networks, it goes down faster.
And i'm using panache radio
Hope it works for you

to help with the Cell Standby, while connected to wifi, set your mobile network to 2G/GSM only in the mobile network settings. prevents your phone from trying to connect to 3G/4G which saves battery as well

no problem bro. yep, running TDJ's Darkside Runny v1.5.1 and its the best Sense build Ive ever flashed. along with the blissmod and quicklaunch widget, its just bad ass. I was a religious MIUI user, but this rom just drew me in. of course the battery life is shorter on Sense builds due to the UI and all the eye candy and bloat, but after 19+ hours average on a full charge, Im not complaining one bit

Do you get commission selling sense roms ? LOL dammit MAN!
i would switch up if i could get 19hrs on sense 3.5. I like its UI interaction (ie text message has address and I can highlight and go straight to navigation)
My issue aside from battery is the widgets not loading correctly on sense 3.5. Do you get that?
With all that eye candy, bloat, etc What do you run your processor at? is it still 1012max superbad?

nah, never had any problems with the widgets. everything works for me as it should. yeah Im still running 1017/122 superbad on Sense as well, no problems at all and everything is still smooth. I dont play games on my phaone, so I mainly browse the net, text, call, listen to music, etc...sync only when needed and OC when needed also.

Best setup for battery life in MIUI V4?

I'm currently running 2.4.6 along with nyan colonel 4 but so far I'm not too pleased; I'm getting about 5-6 hours with medium use on a 1800 mAh battery.

Try turning off 3G (mobile data) when not in use. I was getting 6-7hrs w/ it on & now I can squeeze out 12-15hrs. However I left it alone it went 30 some odd hrs w/ only 30mins of screen time though.

Nuh uh, that's not gonna fly in this thread. I shouldn't have to be turning off my data to get any semblance of decent battery life. I really do want to get this to work though; I love MIUI. Unfortunately it seems the GB version will never be complete as everyone jumped ship to ICS and the ICS version is awesome but seems to get crap battery life even on 4.0.4

you dont HAVE to turn your data off....but if you wanna save some battery that is one of the best ways. if your phone is in your pocket and you dont need it, why have it on suckin juice....try juice defender, i use it with any rom i run and it helps...play with uv in nstools, just dont go too crazy with it.

Uh lol? He just gave you the best tip and you turned it down, you must not be interested in improving battery life, if you're constantly using data and have over 2hrs of screen time you're asking for crappy battery life, and unless you are always receiving important emails, you really don't have a reason to run it 24/7, if you're to lazy to turn it on and off, just use juicedefender, and it'll do it for you. You'll have to make some sort of sacrifice, whether it be monetary or personal. Phone usage is everything, get a bigger battery. Also, logging out of social networking apps when you aren't using them helps as well. I find I have very nice battery life on MIUIgb

I know that turning off data can save me battery life. That's not the point of this thread. I figured it was implied I was talking about different kernels and versions of MIUI V4, not the way I use my phone.
On that note, what's your setup with MIUI GB? I've been considering going back but I'm turned off by MMS STILL being broken

Sorry dude but that's the wrong question to ask. By now u should know that every phone is different if its what kernel to use & what setting to use this or that app than its simple trial and error. When we were still on froyo I couldn't use one of the very popular kernels bcuz it drained by better like crazy it took me a few weeks but I found the perfect setup to get good battery life. & sorry for misunderstanding your intention for this thread.

Alright.. well I misunderstood, it mighta been better to include that in op but it's whatever now lol, I'm using shadowkernel MIUI, and... 100-800Mhz governorndemand, schedular: Sio. And yes MMS has actually been a pain in the ass today for me, I'm considering going to AOKP again lol. I will apologize if I sounded rude in the previous post though, I didn't understand where you were coming from.

Is dropping down to 800 MHz noticeable as far as performance goes? Also is MMS the only problem you have with MIUI GB?
