Airplane Mode Standby = 1200 hours. - G2 and Desire Z General

I lost 10% in 5 days or 120 hours on airplane mode and 99% idle.
1200 hours = 50 days.
Just a fun fact.

I already posted something like that, but no one would believe me. They were all like pics or it didn't happen.

But who puts there G2 in airplane mode for 5 days? Of course if your not using the phone the battery would last longer anyways. Disabling the radio would only add to that but guess I'm not seeing the point of having a cell phone then.
Now 5 days battery life with the phone being used now that I'm interested in.

This statement would be true if the battery charge drops in a linear manner but it is not the case.

If the battery calibration is good, it should be more or less linear. The differences are, of course, irrelevant... since it'll be a whole bunch of days either way.

Well... if you're going somewhere that you know you don't have signal... no point in keeping the radios on.
Or if you're "away" and don't want to be disturbed, but want to have the phone in case of emergency.
There are lots of reasons to shut the radio off.

Hah 5 days that's crazy

Why not just power off the phone?

So you have it on for whatever you need to do that doesn't require a radio. No one enjoys booting their phone on and off like that.

For those you said it can't be done it can!
First, i wanna say big thanks to IntersectRaven and his kernels you can find here:
40 hours
Light/Moderate use, lots of texts, some browsing and some calls.
here:
..still got 10% left
Have you been using the 925 or the 800?
Fking show off... Pffft! hahaha j/k bro good shyet!!!!
Enom + 0429 925mV kernel by IR = Heaven I have the same, and I go 32hours with 15% left.

Sort of... 3G uses less power than WiFi in some ways, and more in others...
In general, WiFi uses less for data because it is faster and thus spends less time fully charged up. But 3G uses less power when charged, but at slower speeds, so it ends up using more... ie, WiFi uses, say, 3power x 1sec=3 where as 3G uses 2power x 2sec=4.

3% screen usage? Did you even use it at all? next time can you include the usage for each of the items listed in the list? would be helpful for comparisons
40 hours only?
I reached 3 days with this kernel meaning 72h and yes I used wifi,market,camera,sms... but all in light to moderate use.
My N1 is 5 weeks old so perhaps the battery cycles are beginning to make it last more too.
The minimum battery I have now is 48h when using ''Men's health'' app for an hour (lot of screen usage) while at body building.
I wonder if GPS will eat battery too fast

Are you sure you only used it for a 30 minute voice call? There's definitely something fishy there, it isn't normal behavior. If you have 3G on and you're in a place with bad reception a lot, or you have screen on (especially with max brightness), it can take up a lot of battery.
Install something like Spare Parts from the market which can show you battery usage history and use it to check whether you have any rogue apps running. If there's nothing suspicious there, you probably have a faulty battery. Any games using the rotation sensor even when they should be closed take up a lot of battery.

Well I'm in Manhattan, NY. Even though my signal is very strong outside(-51dBm) while in door its around -90dBm to 111dBm. SO I guess that could be a slight cause. I have it my phone on "gsm auto(PRL)" which has help. I also have the brightness on AUTO and everything else I do with this phone like texting, reading and the occasional browsing does not pass 20min. So a total of hour.
Now even after a fresh charge I loose 10% in 5hrs without every turning the screen on. This my second swap and I have 3 batteries. They all do the same thing. I just installed Spare Parts, lets see how this goes.
I have original stock rom unlocked
and currently it's been on 18 hours and I still have 77% battery left!

Battery life? Is it really that bad?

Gizmodo and MobileCrunch have pretty much bashed the battery life to make it sound like if its not on the charger, it will die in a matter of an hour or three. For the people who got one from the I/O or other means. What do you get from the phone during a normal days usage? If its that bad, have you guys use SetCPU/Locale/App Killers etc? Thanks.
With light to moderate use, it lasts through the day. A bit worse than Nexus One in that respect, but not too bad.
Agree with sergey.povzner.
Android central had a great review on this. I have heard a mixed bag of battery life. Some sounded very good some didn't. But it's the most power smartphone out there so additional drain is expected.
http://www.androidcentral.com/review-sprint-htc-evo-4g-android-smartphone
It not as good as my n1 but its close. It gets a lot better with custom roms without sense.
Uptime 10:08:35
Awake time 1:46
I had it plugged into computer for about 25 mins to transfer a movie.
I have 80% battery left.
No bluetooth, no GPS, no WIFI.
I don't have anything extra except gmail and another account frequently syncing. I get 4-5 hours of browsing and email with 4g on or off, wifi off, gps off. Standby time doesn't seem to have significant effect though I'm sure it would be measurable if you left it in standby for a day. Adequate to get me though a day, but I hardly use voice.
What if you are watching full length movie on HTC Evo, how long will the battery last (especially if I put it on airplane mode)?
I am planning to switch from from Xperia X10i to HTC Evo. My x10 has the usual battery drain problem but I have controlled it with task killer. However, I am yet to run a full movie on it. If x10's battery life has more survival time (with task killer on it of course) then HTC Evo then I might think twice.
Also can the 'task killer' improve HTC Evo's battery life?
Does anyone know if the Evo uses the HTC Touch Pro size battery like the Hero?
If so then I've already got an external charger and three extra batteries!
Honestly if anyone is that worried about battery life get another battery as a backup. Its been said many times on these forums that a HTC Touch Pro 2 and also a HTC Hero all use the same batteries as the EVO. (Confirmed). You can pick them up on ebay for around 7 or 8$. Which is pretty cheap! Nothing better than having an extra juice pack laying around waiting to be used! Hope this helps somewhat

Gotta say this thing blows my old Moment's battery out of the water... 4.5 hours hard and heavy use... 60% left - no 4G coverage area (but it was left on by accident - ooops) and no video watching, but heavy text, email, and facebook/twitter activity.
I ordered the extended slim battery from seidio.com. 1750 vs 1500. Should give a bit more in the long run.
Its been decent for me though. Just dont jack up your brightness, keep it on auto.
Wifi kills my battery. The signal never settles even though the coverage should be good all over my house.
You want to go into advanced wifi settings and change WiFi sleep policy to never otherwise your phone will shut off WiFi after 15 mins of screen being off and you'll be using 3g which will use a lot more battery.

Mybattery was pretty terrible. Lose 10% per 40 minutes on standby mode alone. After messing around with it for a while I discovered the culprit was the location services. I turned them off and now I lose about 2% per hour on standby.

nvm, seems as if people either don't care or won't believe it.
Too bad the automatic assumption with that screen is it won't work well on battery life. Still worth it for that great phone.
not to say that his isnt possible because i think it could be. i would have liked to see the other screen because mine says right now up 108 hours awake time 30 hours.. when u hit battery use it'll say how long it was unplugged for.

Hey I believe you. I was able to pull off 40 hours on a stock rom with actually 1 hour of the screen on, and I still had 30% left.

From what I have learned, the up time and what not is how long your phone has been up without a restart. Not how long you have had it for a single charge.

my point exactly the next screen when you hit "battery use" is the actual uptime since it has been unplugged .. if that were the case i could be like i just got 108hours of battery life and still going i'll believe it you get 90+ hours since unplugged
So if I turn everything off and put the phone asleep and not use it, it will last 90+ hours?
Am I understanding this right? If so whats the point? My phone isn't much fun or use when its asleep

Just charge the phone, kill all the apps, leave it under the bed and come back in a week. It should work.

Yes you wouldn't want to use these exact settings and not use the phone much to get 90 hrs of battery life, but this is RESEARCH that can help us figure out what settings do or don't help battery life. If he used the phone a bit it might last a day and a half, or 2 days.

Has nothing to do with people not caring or believing it. Was just the picture you posted as your "proof" was a meaningless one, just as many have mentioned. Example; Look at Danon.Brown's pictures...if we go by what you posted, we see he has 108 plus hours of usage when in he's only been unplugged for seconds. Great you got your 90 plus hours on it...but what about the time actually unplugged and usage the phone has seen? If one does nothing but let the phone sit idle...it's easy to get 2 plus days out of a charge.

Can you post system panel screenshots?
I'm at 19 1/2 hours right now with 30% battery left and I thought that was pretty good (couple hours of robo defense, couple hours of web browsing, a bunch of movie trailers on Flixter, hour or so of music, a bunch of texts and a couple calls from my mom). Getting nearly 93 hours out of this phone just seems a little difficult to believe under normal use. But then again, maybe I just have more work to do.

I can get my phone to idle at an average loss of 2% per hour with wifi and phone radios on. I see this as completely plausible with minimal use and still being able to receive phone calls texts and emails.

Have EVO for testing.

Dropped my EVO, screen broke, bought a new one. Old one still works, not activated so couldn't test calling features, but still functions fine. If anybody would like me to test anything for them, I'd be willing to do so. I'm laid off with a lot of time on my hands, so whatever, let me know.

My exact intentions bro. Wanna keep the phone for the sake of development, and testing. Anything to make my evo and anyone elses better. Since I don't know how to develop, figured I could contribute this way.
here is something I would like to see..
turn off all radios and auto updates.. anything that makes the evo work when nothing is happening.
charge it to full..
and let it sit till it dies.
how long does it really last?
That will be cool

I think they put 450 hours because they know no one is going to go 19 days without at least turning on their screen, which would invalidate the test
Maybe if I put my phone in airplane mode and deleted all the homescreens and prevented anything from starting up, it might last that long.

Since the JI6 update, battery life does suck. But "slightly better than a G1"?
Riight.
After reverting to the JI2 radio, I can believe it. I get about 6% loss each night with syncing and wifi polling turned on.
Turn off syncing. Disable wifi. uninstall setCPU. never turn the phone on. I could see getting 450 hours.
So I was looking over that link...did anyone else notice the part:
"Create your own content with the 5.0MP camera/camcorder with autofocus, 3D sound, LED flash, 720p HD video recording and expandable memory up to 32GB."
My Vibrant doesn't have an LED flash. Not sure why they would advertise that.
According to my last few tests i'm getting about 350 hours of standby with my phone on:

450 hours under the most ideal circumstances (ie wifi off, cellular locked onto a single tower, not moving, screen off the entire time, no background sync).
Under real-world usage that's not even close of course, but if you're going to fault the vibrant/galaxys on this, then you need to fault every other manufacturer which tests under the exact same circumstances.
The fact that you're bringing this topic up indicates that you believe the GalaxyS isn't accurate and some other phone specs are more accurate.
LOL. 6.5 hrs. talk time with screen ON?!!!
Such BS!
My stock JI6 Vibrant lasts 12 hrs. with fairly light use: less than 10 minutes of talk, occasional email checking (4 accounts). My international Galaxy S was the same.
My wife's iPhone 3Gs sees a little more talk time, yet usually lasts three times longer.
On JI2 my Vibrant was getting about 15-16hrs. Still crappy, but closer to getting me through the day.
I reality you can store your Li battery in a fridge at 60 or so % and it will loose just a tiny bit over a month
What exactly does "sync" do for my gmail account? Would having it sync "updates only" prevent me from getting mail immediately, or is it only syncing contacts and calendar?
Just curious if I can turn those off to save some battery.

450 hours under unrealistic circumstances.
I just expect my phone to be as advertised.
450hrs/100% battery standby mode means 9 hours of sleep [who sleeps that much?], we should lose about 2% battery.
But instead like this post:

Pfffffft ... I'm trying a different kernel now to see if that's the problem, but even in Flight Mode with the screen off I lost 2.6% per hour while I slept last night.

WITH THE ALL SIGNALS OFF... i think we have an issue.
I believe Galaxy S isn't accurate, and they aren't accurate.
I love my phone, and I don't complain... and haven't complained.
Just pointing out the false advertisement.
I'm not really complaining either. I'm not under any contractual obligation and I paid cash for my Vibrant. If I wanted a different phone on a different carrier, I'd have it. That doesn't mean I'm not going to tweak things here and there, experiment, and load custom ROMS + kernels to get the most out of it, including battery. Advertised talk/standby times have always been a joke; from all manufacturers.
