Thanks
This had a bunch of good stuff on one page, and it answered one question i had about netarchy-toastmod-cfs-havs-nosbc-universal, and that was is there a differents in CPU voltage for 128MHZ VS 245HHZ FYI @ 128 it draws 164mA @ 245 it draws 238mA.
sweet glad i could help. not exactly what you were looking for, but most of it. Also combines it all onto one page.
Try using Elixir. It's an amazing program that should definitely be getting more attention. I believe it will do everything you need it to do plus a LOT more really awesome stuff!
Elixir
That Elixir looks nice, i might have to try that one out.
Tons of updates adding functionality almost weekly!

Been using elixir for a while now, it has become my favorite app.
I can't see how this is one of the biggest batteries out yet after a full nights charge and barely using the phone it needs to be charged again by the middle of the day! I'm tempted to put my sim card back in my iphone... If any one has suggestions I'm all ears.
Oh and I've tried to follow steps to root/unlock etc. but I get errors from the rsnlite 5.3.? installer that it can't install.

Dude, there are like three complete threads here with solutions to battery problems. Why did you create another one?
Two of them are in the very same section where you created this thread.
Solution to your battery life woes can be had by putting your sim back inyour iphone. The atrix and instructions to use this forum seem to be above your level of using technology. Btw, my battery life has been awesome.
I voided my warranty.
Dude seriously if you battery sucks its because you dont know how to use the phone properly i get 15-24 hours with heavy texting facebook and browsing you dont need to complain about somthing its your own issue creating another thread is useless post up on the others not here
Holy snot I in no way was bashing the phone but was venting my frustration in how complicated it seems to be to get the battery to last...
I also posted in the general section not QA where I knew I would get bashed.
Im on stock 2.3.4 and it seems like (due to not being able to install the 5.3 lite program) I'm stuck running stock rom and can't make changes needed you guys can.

If you aren't comfortable flashing a new rom and/or freezing system apps, give the "2x battery" app a try. It certainly is an improvement to the stock battery life.
I really want to flash one but the program I need to install on my cpu won't install... I keep getting error msgs and no one has been able to give me a solution why yet.
I used to have an htc fuze and flashed roms almost daily so I have the knowledge but my machine isn't cooperating with the needed download to unlock.
Ill try the 2x battery, thank you for the help.

Stock atrix battery life sucks!

Could not disagree more. On my stock Atrix, I was getting just over 2 days usage (not just leaving the phone on the table) pretty consistently. Rooted and GB rom now, am getting a day and a half but am probably just getting the battery and rom used to each other lol
I don't get it, I had 80% 2 hours ago then went to 70% powered off and on and now I have 80% again?

Omg. You have a self charging battery!

Freezing apps would definitely help. Especially is you use "System Panel" to find the culprits.
Although from what I've heard isn't stock supposed to have better battery life than the custom ROMS?...

Ill take a look at that one to. Went to sleep with 70% and left wifi on all night to end up with 50% this morning. I'd say that isn't too bad.

Which battery saving mode are you using?...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
My battery lasts about 3h max, im living the dream!
@ccrows- It only lets me select the daytime mode due to not having the PRO version. And I dont see in it where I can freeze apps?
It actually seems to be charging faster as well. How long does it take you guys to get a full charge from dead on average?
This has probably been asked a million times but I have searched for an hour and cant seem to find exactly what I am looking for. I reset my battery stats because my battery life has been horrible the last week. My phone now says fully charged but the meter only shows 92. Should I let it die completely and recharge completely and then it will be fixed or will it just do the same thing? I am on ICS passion 10.6 if that makes a differnece. Ill be getting a slim 220o mah battery next week but this is still annoying me. I work 10+ hours a day and text my wife a lot and im only getting 13 hrs on the battery. About 100 texts, 30 min of web and I get auto updates via craigslist notification. GPS and wi-fi are off and my sync settings are for 1 time per day. Thanks all!
13 hours is pretty good. also, read this: https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT
I like to use an app called android booster u can go in and see exactly what app is draining the most battery that might help

Did you check out the stickied guide called "[How to] You Want Better Battery Life:::Read This" in the Vibrant Q&A section? There's some really good stuff in there. It won't help in solving your battery only charging to 92% issue, but it should help you get the most out of your battery.
Thanks all, my biggest issue I'd with the meter reading wrong, but I'll check out the better battery life thread, I can always use an improvement!

Try downloading "Battery Calibration" from the Market. When your battery reaches the max charge that you see possible, calibrate it, and reset your phone. Always works for me.

Battery works fine?
So no problems with this battery? I saw an 1800 but this might be better if it works and fits ok.
I should have it tomorrow or wed ill let you know about the fit
In the picture on the link you provided, that battery looks like it has four contacts, not like the Vibrant's three.
Some other pics I found on google images show that might be the case, too.
I am not holding out much hope that this battery will work for you. But if it does, please follow up and let us know.

thanks, i'll wait for your updates to see how this battery holds up
Just finished my latest raft of battery saving tweaks for my rooted s3 and here are the results.
I consider myself a medium user and managed to get 54 hours off my last charge. Interested to see how other people's experiences match up to mine.

Look at your Awake and Screen on times.
Might as well leave your mobile untouched for 2.5 days.
What matters is screen on time, not how long between charges, if you only use your phone for 5 mins a day you will wait a long time between charges. I can get 4 hours screen time which is decent (That's 4 hours in one day) So in theory if I use my phone for 1 hour a day I should get 4 days usage out of it.
All it shows is you don't use your phone much, show me a screen time of more than 6 hours and I will check out the battery tweak in use (as long as I can still use my phone)
Ok will post my screen on time stats from my next charge, pretty sure it's more than six hours.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
What's the point of having these devices if you'll use them like regular phones. I see no apps in your battery details. Obviously you're unlocking your device only for phone calls and swiping between screens and app drawer because of boredom.
Better to get a nokia 3310 and never care about battery again...
There you go Delsus just got home from a day out onsite plus the commute back & forth - 8 hours screen on time.

Cool, so what exactly is your "tweak"?
The second image is "screen on time" though
later edit:
one more,but not mine.
when i will have time i will try to see how much "screen on" i can reach (although i can reach 8 hours of text reading, i doubt that i will reach that playing NOVA.)

then share with us ur tweak
i am currently using Null 15.1 with siyah kernel
i used to let my Wifi on the whole time to test it and with screen on + downloads time to time..
Max time :8hrs
Min time : 7hrs.
A bit of background I use my phone for work & spend alot of time away from a power supplier (either a plug socket or my car charger) & was finding my battery was fried within about 4 hours of constant use.
By researching & implementing battery tweaks (which don't affect the performance of my phone) and I've managed to get it up to 8 hours.
I'd be happy to post my battery tweaks for others to use, what I'm interested in is other user's experiences to benchmark against.

The problem is a lot of noobs post junk or badly researched / bench marked stuff .or even exact same battery life posts week after week . We have three identical topics in the first three pages of General as it is .
Hence regular users are cynics after all it is a developers forum not some childish fix my phone look at my quadrant forum .
Well researched logical topics don't get attacked .

There are a million and one threads on XDA about various apps, widgets, and general approaches for saving battery life. What I'm looking for, and haven't been able to find, is a simple program that doesn't actually do anything active to help, but rather just watches and provides detailed data on what's going on.
I'm 1 months into into my S4, and battery life is noticeably different than when I started. I have lots of theories, but have very little hard data - and that's what I'm after. I don't want a full-fledged program that's going to start flipping things on and off for me. I want an app or tool that can pay attention to whats going on throughout a few battery cycles, tell me how much various culprits are impacting my battery, and do nothing more.
Look up BetterBatteryStats. I like it, and find it very useful to drill down anything acting up sucking battery. Read how to properly use it and it's a great tool.
