Which provides more battery life.
Im on CM5 now and my battery dies SO FAST you can almost see it going down just watching the screen, i have the screen turned all the way down, use only 2g networks. ever tried to under-clock, when i check battery usage says system idle uses 49%
any ideas ?
Are you serious?
Better yet, don't use the phone at all, that might save the battery.
Dude with those settings its like having a 20th Century device.
Flash another ROM or something, try wiping battery stats, it has been suggested all over the forum...
Why do I even bother...when the mods see this youre a gonner anyway.
It's not so much the ROM, its the apps and widgets you have installed. Some are poorly written, some don't play nice with other apps or certain set ups.
All you can do is install a monitoring app like system panel, and remove the apps that are using alot of CPU.
That's what I have done.

listen pal what im saying is my battery doesnt last for **** since i flased CM5 so im wondering if thats to be expected with CM5 and maybe fixed in CM6. but yea ur super helping that for the sarcastic reply, next time dont bother. ooh and btw i dont have to use the phone for it to die with in like 10 hours it will be idle the entire time and it will die.

and thank you for your helpful reply i will look into the apps i have.
EDIT: Battery usage says system idle is nearly 50% of usage, even after i kill all the apps :[
LOL! Wow, someone's a little edgy...
It's definitely not a "CM5 issue" that would be fixed in CM6 (CM6 is still in RC, CM5 has had several stable releases!) eyegor's suggestion to wipe battery stats was probably good advice believe it or not. Charge full, power off, leave plugged in. Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats. Power down, unplug and start up, let it drain allllll the way.
Check out xda homepage even - a battery calibration post!!
Battery life is pretty variable as you can see in the numerous threads on this topic. CM's forum has one with a poll with most saying CM6 is better, but not a clear cut answer.
I used SystemPanel's monitor function to identify which app was eating battery. It worked great! My biggest offender was Weather and Toggle widget. I loved its customization but its battery gulping was just not worth it. Got rid of it and my battery life is much more consistent.
I also got a cheapie battery off eBay which helped.
Both CM5 and 6 run perfect on my phone. No battery drains.
My point was that you're in the wrong section, pal.
You also might want to watch logcat while the phone is idle or sleeping to see if there are numerous errors or warnings scrolling by when there should be very little activity.
I have a similar issue. Initially I had the rediculous drain, but as mentioned wiping battery stats from recovery fixed it for the most part. Once it says its fully charged and you turn the phone off, let it sit charging overnight. Then wipe the stats in the morning and don't charge again until the phone turns itself off. Only issue I have now is that when I've got my GPS turned on, in use or not, it kills the battery. While in use I get about 2 hours from a full battery to the phone turning itself off. Haven't figured that one out.

No worries. It freaked me out when I first flashed 5.0.8. I use my phone as an MP3 player in my truck with it plugged in to my CD players AUX Jack. Did a 5 hour road trip and only lost around 10% including a few phone calls.

Did you follow the simple procedures of:
Flashing on a full charge and battery reset process?
sorry I am actually having a similar problem as Clown.
Flashing on a full charge and battery reset process?
Jenisiz - when u mention flashing on a full charge and battery reset process? where can I find the battery reset process? tried looking around after your post and can't seem to find anything about how to reset the battery.
Im very noobish at all this so if u could send me a link or steps on how to reset battery that would be GREAT

Yes I have done the CWR wiping and such. I am doing the same things I did before on DL30 but now battery isn't even lasting a day....in fact sometimes I have to put it on the charger now after only 8 hours. Mind you...I am not really doing anything that intensive. Maybe a few calls, some texting...some browsing and that's it. On DL30 I could easily go all day and still have 3/4 charge...now it's draining horribly even after wiping the stats.
Go into CWR and select the advanced option and then wipe battery stats. That could help. Also, letting your battery completely drain and then fully charging before wiping the stats could help also.

If you're using theme, remove it by flashing a new ROM. I've heard that helps with battery life, so I'm trying it out myself to see if that's really the case.
Try using a program called juicedefender from market. I found it helps my battery.
No themes being used...just the stock eb01.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
There are some reports of the GPS never really turning off using eb01. If the Gps is enabled in the drop down, disable it and report back after your next charge cycle. Obviously you can enable it when you need it, but remember to disable it after you finish.
This is possibly a kernel bug, so it may not be fixed until the next update.

It is definately the android system. There is another thread here where the samsung rep says they know about this version of android and the battery issue. My tab went to zero yesterday in ten seconds. It took me a long time to get the battery meter to show it was charging again.

Has anyone tried calibrating the battery? I just received a Tab for testing and it was used prior. Some battery monitor apps reported less then 12hours available after a full charge. After I calibrated it, i'm getting ~28 hours / moderate use before battery is depleted. What amazes me with the Tab is that when idle (overnight) there is no decrease in battery levels and graphing shows a complete flat line when idle.

I have done all of the battery recalibrations suggested here on xda to no avail. The only thing that has helped me is plugging in a portable kennsington battery by usb that tricks the battery indicator and it seems to slow down my battery drain.

Try doing a resetting on the tab, and do a full charge, I mean let it charge for 8 hrs continuously.
If it can't work, bring it to Samsung for firmware upgrade (takes about an hour), after which do the same, long charging.
Last option, ask for an exchange with Samsung.
Rooting it has never been my option

Hey guys, I was in the same boat (you can see my posts on other threads) and I have tried pretty much everything from flashing rom, resetting, calibrating, and bump charging. Last night I decided to open up the tab and look at the battery, thinking maybe I should buy a new battery to test.
Long story short, I disconnected the battery from the board and let it sit for 15mins before reconnecting. I check every couple hours to see the battery level in android. So far, I only lost 1% for 20hrs in flight mode w/o any app running. I usually lost 20% overnight and would regain that after reboot. So the problem is GONE and the system is reporting the right battery percentage without fake dropping.
I will continue to monitor it and report back, but it looks great so far. Hope this helps other XDA fellows.
Thats actually ive been wanting to do just prick it open, funny though i my problem resolved it self, last night i keep rebooting my tab up to the point it hangs and froze then i left it like that for an hour then i pressed the power button for around 10 seconds to reboot it again, once it booted up it showed the correct percentage, now im still monitoring if the trick went well..

Hi Shinji, it is quite unbelievable that the tab only drain 1% for "20hrs". But it is great, if opening the tab can solve battery issue. Now, I myself encounter some other new problems, after I solved the sudden drop in battery issue by upgrading to new firmware (e.g. 50% => ask me to shut down). Now, no matter how I charge, it will remain 67 or 70%............
Do you have the instruction to open up the tab, or any link which you can lead me too? Thanks.
Hey henrylam do you charge phone whilst on and how long do you charge for before you get fed up waiting for it to move from 70% and remove charger ?

I try both, on and off, sometimes it work sometimes it doesn't. After I have done factory reset, it seems ok for first 3 cycles. After that, the problem surfaced again.
Sometimes, it just stop charging at 65 (curvefish battery indicates) but battery icon shows like 85%. I felt like smashing the Tab and get myself a new Ipad. I am thinking to send it again to Samsung this Friday, and let them investigate for a while (hopefully 2 weeks will be sufficient). Damn it, my wife tab has no such issues. She didn't even do an upgrade on her firmware.
The topic pretty much explains it. I've been using different modified stock roms and now I'm on the latest nightly of CM7, and I keep having this issue. After a reboot at around 50%, the battery drops to 15%. The weird part is that while I continue to use the phone, it slowly rises back up to sometimes 30% and then starts going back down. I've always cleared battery stats when flashing and calibrated (which I believe is unnecessary), but I don't know if this is a problem with the battery, the phone, or if anyone else is having the same issue?
Attached is a screenshot of battery usage. You can see I never actually charged the phone.

anyway guys, you need to recalibrate your battery, its not being read accuracy.
download BatteryCalibration from the market, charge your phone till 100% (not just 100% but when it beeps, that its truely at 100%), then use BatteryCalibration to calibrate your battery, and then drain it to 0.. (crank full brightness, turn on LED flashlight, blast internet radio, whatever makes it drain faster to get this part overwith), then recharge it to max.
so;
charge to full 100%
while still plugged in, run BatteryCalibration
discharge to 0%
recharge to 100%
battery successfully calibrated, you will now have an accurate reading
I had exactly the same issue on 3 different custom roms....finally resolved by going bck to stock rom

This thing only happens on CM7 for me. It had 40% before reboot and like 15% after. However mine only increased to about 17% then started dropping as usual. This never happened on any stock ROMs I've tried(stock, not themed/modded stock).

did you
did you rsolve the problem ? how? I have the same problem and I tried more stock roms ... I don't know what tot do ....
Its nothing to do with calibration etc, its just how the fuel gauge chip works, it learns and more accurately reports usage over time. For example, if you reboot and (I can't remember the actual voltages for the S2) you have 1200mV, the chip goes, "ah, that is 15% battery." Then as you use it more, it relearns its settings and goes "aaah, my mistake 1200mV is really 30% battery. I'll display that instead."
Its been covered frequently that "calibrating" the battery of the S2 in any way but actually using it, is next to useless.

I found a guide somewhere on the internet on the best way to calibrate battery stats on a rooted device when I had my old hero and I use it a lot to this day so I decided to share the best way to do it here. If there is in fact a thread about this already in our forums I apologize but I could not find one. So here it is.
Step 1.
First and foremost charge the phone to 100%(Even if it says 100% wait about 5 minutes or so just be sure.)
Step 2.
Once it is at 100% go into data/system (using root explorer) and delete the batterystats.bin file there.
Step 3.
Unplug the charger and reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache and wipe battery stats once more while you're there just to make sure they're gone.
Step 4.
Power the phone down and plug it back in. Charge it to 100% while it's off (the battery bar can be deceiving so even once it shows it's full give it five more minutes or so to be sure) and then power up.
*As a side note, if you are using stock kernel, or a kernel without the 100% battery mod then your only going to be at 96%. Thanks to Glennkaonang for reminding me of this.
Once it is booted to the OS you should now see that the battery bar is at 100%. (please note that when it's going through the "Android is upgrading" thing it can take 1 or 2% off the battery if you have lots of apps)
Final step.
Wait for the phone to die completely (to where it shuts off on its own) and let it charge to 100% while the phone is off and power it back up. Do this step at least two or three times.
After that you should have a fully calibrated battery and have no more messed up battery reporting.

Everybody enjoy! If this helped you please hit thanks!
*Thanks to whoever it was that wrote this up in the first place. If I knew who it was I would give proper thanks.

Unless my batt % reporting goes wonky between reboots, I don't ever wipe stats. It doesn't necessarily increase your battery life, but it does appear to fix incorrect reporting.

I didn't think it would improve battery life either but it does. Maybe not a HUGE amount but it definitely does help a little. Plus it will give you the correct percentage rather than showing 100% when it's really only 95%. Lol. Anyways, to each their own.

Maybe it's not working on your phone because you're using the stock kernel which doesn't have a Battery Life Extender cosmetic MOD.
It's just cosmetic, actually it's still the same 96% as all other Android devices do.

This doesn't do anything other than fix incorrect battery logging, it DOES NOT increase battery life in any way.
Not even a tiny bit. Nada. Zip. Zero.
Dianne hackborne covered this on Google+ and said repeatedly that it doesn't extend battery life in the slightest. She would know as she wrote the code I believe.

Please understand, if everybody bumped a thread they created every few days because they thought it was useful, nothing new would ever show up on the first page of the forum. It would be the same threads appearing over and over.
I wasn't trying to offend you, I just think that bumping dying/dead threads is counter intuitive to growing this forum community.
Thank you.
It is in a sense misinformation though. It doesn't calibrate the battery, merely wipes androids battery usage statistics, which are only for reference to the user not the system.
Although included, the only pseudo calibration is charge fully, discharge fully then charge fully. This process wipes battery stats anyway.

I did this before I even found this thread, save for I use a Battery Calibration app from the market instead of deleting the .bin file. (App does it for me.)
This was the result.

I have never calibrated my battery and get almost exactly the same battery life as what you are getting. All this does is wipe the stats.
