My phone has an autonomy less than 24 hours.
What is the best Rom,app or tips to increase the longevity of the battery?
this question is a bit too general, take a look in battery usage and see what is using your battery the most... this way we can see what the problem is and how to help

now I know there are many software out there that measures battery life, but non of them works very well on wizard
so Im thinking about making a program that runs on background and quickly drain the battery
we can then time the battery drain and post it on xda developers to compair
this way we can have a good measurement of how healthy the battery really is, and can have a good measurement on how much battery does todays plug-in or oampclock really consume
OR if anyone knows a good way to measure battery life, please tell me.
Some say let it drain all the way, then fully charge...some say don't let it drop below 50%...i tried searching, but couldn't get solid info....so what really is the best way to charge a battery in order to get maximum battery life? thanks
Lithium ion batteries shouldn't be fully discharged on a regular basis; they prefer partial charges. It's useful to fully discharge occasionally however so that the phone knows the full range of the battery's charge states or the battery meter will be inaccurate.
It might be better to discharge to some particular level than another, but that's impractical. Best practice as far as I'm aware is to charge whenever possible. At least we have user-replaceable batteries if they do start to get weak!
Yes, 20%-40% drain is ideal balance of long-term battery life and not changing too often. Of course, the lower end of this would mean about an hour of use if you have the display on the whole time. So, best thing for the long-term life and ability to use your phone cord free is to own 2 batteries and change when possible.
I don't even bother to "calibrate" (run the battery down 100%) because I switch it often enough and I don't need to know if I have 40% left instead of 55%. If I have high use or only one battery on me then sometimes I'll let nature run it's course, but I never go out of my way for it.
Well in all honesty, I have to say that I've been doing the complete drain and full recharge for about 5 - 6 cylces since I got the phone about a week ago. Furthermore, I have set my autokiller to aggressive and I've seen a big improvement in the battery life. i.e. from 23 hours to about 1d and 20 hours.
Does the battery life increase with subsequent chargings because I am getting nowhere close to 10 hours? I have it at about half brightness and its discharging quite quickly with little multitasking. How much do you get?
This is the first time I'm charging it by the way.

No. This will not happen with LiIon/LiPoly batteries. In fact they lose a wee tiny bit of capacity on every subsequent charge.
I get about 4-8h of battery life, depending on what I do.

I get 7-9 hours with the brightness at 0-25%(no or little gaming) This seems to inline with what I've seen at Anandtech
I've had noticeably better battery life after a few charges. But then again I've changed a few settings or it could be just placebo.
Post your battery life at full charge
24hours 45min, 5hours light, 18hours idle
What is your battery life?
There is a dedicated battery life thread

Ok thanks I've been on accu battery and it says I get 24hous sleep 5hours with light and 18hours idle I thought there was something up with my battery life so I wanted to know other people's benchmarks. 5 hours didn't seem like much to me...
hello
is it bad?
I saw a couple of posts regarding battery calibration ..does it really improve the battery or does it reduce the standby ???if its good ..then suggest any..thanks
