Battery Level % when charging
Battery Level %

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!

I havehorrible batter life and it takes forever for this phone to charge and it overheats. I'm using the andromeda kernal and OC widget. Can someone tell me some settings I should use? Or tweaks or whatever? I'm talking non-commonsense stuff (not stuff like "turn 4g off")

Turn on Airplane mode and leave it on. Tell people to call you on the house phone. Your battery life will improve dramatically.
The radio really sucks up tht much power, huh? :/ I wish sprint used simcards so I can have a reason to lug around my hero for when I'm out for more than 3 hours

Wow, 3 hours huh? I'm at least getting 8. I was getting 15 or 20 hours, but then started putting lots of widgets on my screens and that really killlllllllllled it
I usemy phone a lot. I was spoiled by my hero. I was getting days on a single charge with the same usage, if not, more. I wish I knew what's killing it so fast :/ spare prts says the screen is a majority of power consumption, but I usually have brightness on 0 (its plenty bright enough. It seems brighter than my hero at 50% ).

Is the Running time at 100%? If so, check Partial Wake Usage. Click on whatever's at the top of the list and check it's running time. Report back and let us know what you find.

First, you need spare parts. Go to Battery History and check the % of running time. If its near 100%, your phone isn't sleeping. Next is to find what is causing this issue.
Go to homescreen, hit menu, hit settings. About phone, Battery Use. See what is using the most battery.
Next, go to settings, Applications, running services. See what services are running. If your phone isn't sleeping, its probably one of these services causing it. For me, Coreplayerservice, which is the music player service caused the phone not to sleep.
Spare parts is showing 68% and that's probably because ie been using th phone a lot this morning

You should check the CPU usage next on spare parts...that should show you the apps taking cpu time

ill check that now
68% is very high unless you think that since you unplugged the phone you have literally been using it 2/3 of the time.
If you don't want the full blown Spare Parts app, but want the battery piece then you should download "BatteryHistory" from the market.

Under spare parts my battery is using the most with networking. And the specifications say "0" and "Dialer". And they are using nearly 100%. I lose about one percent every 2 minutes when browsing the web
What can i do do get better battery?
Sent from my SGH-T959 with Nero 4.1!
check the bible sticky here in gen and in dev it explains how to recondition your battery and set the settings better
This might be off topic but I find it really hard, from spare parts app, to read and grasp what app has been using hoe much battery. As Someone who came from stock 2.1, im used to the samsung battery usage widget which tells u what app has used the most battery. In essence telling ubwho is the culprit. I don't see that in axura 2.2.5.7. Does anyone know of an app i can use to get that info.
Thanks

I don't know what happened but I'm having issues. I cannot get the display to fall below 75% and it sucks because between my EVO stock battery and my extended battery you can actually see the battery life being sucked away rapidly.

I have the same issue, it is isolated to Sense roms. It doesn't happen with AOSP, which is why those are the only roms I can use due to the battery life. We had a thread going for a while with some other people who had the same problem, but nobody could really get to the bottom of it. I reached out to Aamikam but he couldn't really help or didn't want to. I didn't know if a logcat or anything would have helped but no one really answered me. It happens on froyo and gingerbread sense roms, and I never had the issue for a long time but then I noticed it the first time on MikFroyo 4.62. I've tried everything since then but no results.
Only thing to do right now is switch to an AOSP rom, I highly recommend Team Nocturnal's Xplod. Very smooth with Tiamat 3.3.7 kernel and more eye candy than CM7. I would love to be able to use MikG again but my battery literally dies in 4 hours, regardless if I'm using the phone or not.
Alot of ppl seem to think that 75 percent or more of display is bad. Really it isn't. The battery stats need to equal 100 percent. On sense roms that's the way it is and there is nothing wrong with it. Now if your experiencing high.android system usage, that's a problem. As long as everything else is relatively low, its all good
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Its after I installed the new update. Even downgraded to earlier gingerbread and still 75 plus.
Yes my system is low but I can watch my battery meter lower in realtime. Well I guess its time for a new toy.

If your actively using your phone and it drains rapidly that's pretty normal in my experience. But if its draining a lot during idle, check for a rogue running app. Otherwise not using auto brightness is a good mentioned trick along with underclocking with a new kernel should help
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It has to do with the use of a generic power_profile.xml. Neither CM or stock use correct values for this.

You don't get it...this is not normal display usage. I remember what my battery usage and battery life was like before this problem came up and there was a huge difference. Before, cell standby was my highest usage and I could get 25-30 hours on a charge. Then display usage shot up to 90% give or take some, and battery life dropped to 4-8 hours. I can understand if display was slightly higher than everything else, but display is at 75-95% while everything else is under 5 or 10. There is absolutely no reason why the display usage should be that high even when the screen has been OFF the entire time. That's not normal. I have multiple screen shots to back it up.

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.
