EB05.........

I use bonsai 4.0 with the EC05 modem and i get about 9-10 hours of pretty heavy usage i would say 1 hour of phone calls, lots of texting, 2-3 emails, checking and downloading about 1-2 apps about 1-2 hours of games. 2 hours or so of web browsing, wifi or 4g is all ways on. It lasts alot longer than 2.1 and i am happy. Oh plus i use my xda, engadget, and phandroid app way to much.

I have used both and i must say that they are just about the same for me on eb05 modem. Havent tried eb13 so i cant comment on that one at all. The only thing i have to say is im very happy with 2.2 based roms so far way better battery life. My phone actually lasts all day now!

stock battery? o.o because i get roughly 9 hours on super light usage i.e no data no games no browsing, nothing but texting for a while..

I actually get better battery life on stock EC05. Both of those roms were very similar for me.

HONESTLY I THINK MY BATTERY SUCKS .....................
cause it all dies but i got setcpu undervolt ... on the bonsai rom ec05 modem stock
i just either need new bat or bigger bat n train it better cause i try to game more than anything angry birds... baseball super stars ... tank hero .. then when i feel like tweetin or something i realize im at like 60 percent so i charge just incase i have to leave n not be around a charger .......... or it wont charge as fast while in use at the same thing more times it sometimes just hold the bat at a steady life.. idk jus me i guess

foyo? or stay on 2.1? is it worth it?

I have been dabating wether or not to flash a froyo rom and modem. I am currently using ee with phoenix kernel and loving the battery life i get out of it. I have searched the threads but not to much pertaining the the battery life of froyo as there is no kernels yet, most replies to battery life on froyo are a simple its good or i get good battery life. I Wa wondering what kind of battery life people are getting with froyo roms. battery life is the 1st on my list of importance so some with respectable performance would be nice to know so i could make my first froyo jump. Thanks in advance.
I've been on it for a few days now (DK17). I don't use any task manager, or juice defender or anything like that. I have a start-up manager (autoruns) and thats it. I unplugged my phone yesterday at 10:30am and 12 hours later I still had 40-45% remaining after some moderate use... angry birds, asphalt and web browsing mainly.
Hope that helps!
I just flashed 2.2 and used it all day at work for texting, calling, facebook and web browsing and after 9 hours at work i had just under 80% battery life left.
If you are after battery life, then stay on 2.1. I have 4 backup batteries and didn't mind going to 2.2, but I did have a considerable battery life decrease. I find myself changing batteries atleast once a day with these beta 2.2 releases. Recently I haven't noticed it as much, but I think that is due to my getting used to the routine of changing batts every 6-8 hours depending on use.
I really do enjoy the perks of 2.2 though. Flash player with Hulu is awesome, faster phone than 2.1, and the developers are doing a great job of getting some custom themes integrated right now, which makes it not only run great, but look awesome.

I've used it the second it came out, some noticeable snags you'll work around just fine. I've had it for atleast 3ish weeks no major setbacks I guess. Just used clock and flashed it. Happy with over all with flash and other new twists....phone can be hairy at times, but I've foun several androids do on 2.2. Speaker everytme you pick up a call with he feature "off". I have had the epic on the first day at day break.....

I'd stay with 2.1 for now. My phone took a serious performance hit going to 2.2... something is wrong with that kernel. Not optimized yet maybe?

I don't know about you guys, but I am using ACS's Froyo build and my Epic has never had better battery life. By a large margin.
It seems the latest froyo release has been outstanding in terms of battery life. If you're looking for battery efficiency, definitely go with a froyo rom. If you're looking for performance, go with eclair. All in all however, froyo roms are fairly snappy especially considering they are at stock speeds. Can't wait for battery life increases once froyo roms get UV'd.
EDIT: on second thought, I'd have to recommend froyo either way. The improved web browser performance + flash as well as froyo gapps alone make the jump worth it. There's really no 'lag' to speak of on froyo roms... merely, the phone just seems faster on eclair switching between apps and loading/closing them.
I'm using epic experience 2.0(froyo) and my epic has never performed better. Especially gps locks in like 2-3 seconds even without wireless location check marked. Very fast and smooth. Probably just as fast if not faster than 2.1 overclocked to 1.2. For me it seems anyway. Way worth it in my opinion.

Honest to God I'll never understand comments such as these. If battery life is the most important thing then why the hell did you buy the most power hungry phone? You bought it for performance didn't you???? Performance and battery life are polar opposites. Much like horsepower and fuel economy.
Let me save you some suspense... you'll never get more than a day out of this phone. At least not if you actually use the damn thing. If you travel, take a car charger. If you are in the office, have a charger with you. If your job requires you to be away from power then bring an external battery. The phone lasts a normal work day between charges so install 2.2 and enjoy your phone for what it is... a powerhouse!
Btw, the battery life seems pretty good in comparison to stock 2.1.
Or u can buy one of the double or more life batteries for $100 that comes with a modified battery cover to fit the extended battery, then couple it with a kickass kernel (phoenix) and have the best of both worlds

EVO battery life owns my Epic

Seriously, my GF and I just got new phones and her EVO rocks my Epic. I don't get it, thought the EVO sucked juice compared to the Epic?
We both have juice defender, otherwise hers is stock with standard sense widgets. She checks facebook and texts all day, plays words with friends but that's it. I'm obsessing, rooted with setcpu conservative 100/1000, I have force uninstalled mediahub+drm services, do the airplane trick on reboot, brightness on auto, services off except wifi when browsing, etc.
My phone lasts maybe 12 hours, hers has gone 27 hours, lasts 18+ easy every day. I feel like if I even touch my phone I lose 10%. Snes games? Phone is done. I basically let it sit and it slowly dies, yet still ends up 90%+ display usage on the battery.
Sigh :-(

I only got 8hours Until I got me, an extended battery Now I have mine on full bright and 4g,wifi,bluetooth,gps on full time. And 4 apps that update every 10 minutes 3 to 4 hours talk time and about 100+ text, get on the internet etc and the battery last about 12 hours
The biggest battery drainage from my phone came from 3g I live in area where 3g fluctuates allot which caused the battery drain
Have you ever thought of getting an extended battery?
Or you dont like the extra bulkiness
Otherwise can't you take it back and switch out for an evo?
I like my Epic like my women, slim and naked ;-)
I'm all stock, odined back to 2.1 before updating. I would suspect 3g due to my near-roaming status at home except for juice defender.
I can't calibrate my battery without clockwork (stock recovery now), think that would make a significant difference?

Watch for SyndicateROM Frozen, paired with the Twilight Zone kernel, in the next 24 hours. ACS team lead rjmjr69 got 30 hours of heavy use on the stock battery at 1.2ghz, and 16 hours extreme use (4G, WiFi, 3G, lots of SMS, MMS, email, web browsing, voice calls).

That is a key (perhaps not the only) problem. Set your brightness to as low as you can stand it (8% is my number). Use as much black & red as possible (if an app has a night mode, use it.) Use an all black wallpaper. These actions will not cause any miracles but it will make a noticeable difference in battery life.
Worst case scenario (all white background at full brightness), the Epic screen consumes more than three times (yes, >3x) as much power as the EVO. Of course it looks marvelous doing it.
Hrm, thx mosttoys, ill try it. Though honestly most of the time it looks like it's around 0% anyways (which is honestly where I like it).
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Little info for you guys. I'm sitting at 15% right now after 11 hours. I didn't touch my phone except for a 45min conference call and half hour workout using 4g+pandora. I realize this is likely average for Epic users. Except check out my GFs super Evo.
Light use, words with friends, texting, browsing (she is unemployed and I work from home so I can vouch that she has been on and off it), 59% afterf 12 hours...

Op so ur liking the evo more? Just curious because I am considering giving my epic back to sprint for an evo because this has to be one of the most unreliable phones I have owned.
Sent from my EB13 Samsung Epic
To be honest, the features that made me choose the epic over the evo have let me down. The keyboard misses and the screen sucks too much juice. My gf still hasn't plugged in her evo, its at 42% 15h20m.
But, I just installed the new syndicate rom and have high hopes. I don't want to jump the gun but my keyboard seems fixed and it's very quick. If all proves stable and I get comparable battery life (~15 hours would be fine) ill be more than happy with my epic. I would hate to lose this screen and am used to a hardware keyboard again. Just hate feeling like I need to plug it in every time I use it.
Oh and the call quality is the worst I have ever experienced but I don't know if it's the tinny speaker or sprint...maybe both (came from tmobile).
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
My epic was working good but today was the final breaking point for me. My phone is literally used in life a death situations (I am a paramedic if you couldn't guess by user name lol) and today I was on a call where I had to pull my battery 6 times to get it to dial out.
For me that is a deal breaker. I have learned to live with the keyboard by slowing down. I was debating on giving the rom you are using a try and seeing how that goes.
Sent from my EB13 Samsung Epic
This probably won't apply to you if it's saying the display is 90%, but two other battery drains that you didn't mention are "use wireless networks" for location and google talk, which auto signs in unless you change it in the talk app settings.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Why don't you try switching phones with her for a day or two and see if it's still the case. If you have horrible reception in an area, that can quickly drain the battery. There are so many variables that come into play and the second you two leave each other's sides, there is no way to compare the phones.
Thx for the suggestions. My location settings are off and I signed out of gtalk.
We have been right next to each other as she isn't working and I work from home. However, while she was bragging how much "better" her phone is she mentioned that she keeps gps and wireless on all day. This could have an impact considering the spotty service here, I just thought that juice defender would take care of it (should turn off 3g).
Btw, I had her not charge her phone. She is sitting at 16% 1d2h53m

Running some of the different ROM's will help out anyone looking for better battery. I recommend trying it out i was not very happy at first with the epic after all the hype then I gave in and started rooting and flashing and I love the phone now.

Poor battery life on Android 2.2

I am running the latest version of Viper Tom with no CIQ but yet my battery life consistiently lasts less than 12 hours. I usually stream around 2hrs of thumbplay a day.

you are getting 12 hrs despite streaming 2 hrs .. i m getting less than 12 hrs without any usage at all .. ie i see about 9 hrs since plugged in and usage is mostly limited.. if any at all.. and i have about 20% left...i m thinking of going back to stock and start from scratch to see if anything improves..this is really bugging me a lot.
btw i m still on viper 4.0.3 with genocide kernel.
I was getting about 7 hours minimal usage and also phone was draining faster than it could charge when I would use the web on viper rom so I went back to acs

Bionix - Best battery life ever!

;D I'm running Bionix v1.3.1 and the battery life is AWESOME. Yesterday, I did a LOT of texting, gaming and talking. By the end of the day, I still had 90%.
Usually, if I do that on any other ROM, by the end of the day, I'd probably have around 0%-30%
I didn't recondition the battery, either.
BUT ONE THING, I've NEVER EVER experienced a problem with the GPS on my vibrant, but right after flashing V1.3.1, it wouldn't work anymore. It'd take like 15 mins to lock D:<
wow. using any different kernels? What modem? I get stock battery life on bionix. I have no idea how people are getting such amazing battery life. Maybe i need to do a battery reconditioning.

Same here, running 1.3.1 with the overstock kernel, keeping wifi on all day due to the great wifi sleep policy, after an 8 hour work day of moderate to heavy use my battery is at about 70% everyday. I don't even want to update to the newest version of overstock, too scared to lose what I have.

Hate calling people liars but I will never understand people who get 2 days wiht an oem battery. I jsut dont see someone besides an extremely light user getting 2+ days without a charge. I got 2 days with my 2700mah extended battery.

This is probably as accurate as you can get:
Heavy use: 6 hours or less, MAYBE 7, but unlikely if its heavy use.
Moderate use: 10-14 or less, no more than 14.
Light: a day, and possibly more.

It was good for me but no as good as Trigger,but the rom that lasted more on a charge for me was Azura,it had incredible battery life.
I used to get 2+days battery life on mine when I was running previous version of Bionix. I can't recall which version it was, i think 1.2.0. It was when the froyo was released for the vibrant i believe january-febuary-ish. After flashing to 1.3.1, i can't get passed to 24hours anymore. Also all my settings, syncs, wallpaper (etc..),except the modem,kernel, and 2 scrabble apps, where similar. The KB1 modem was one of the culprits of the drain and i have it replace with the JK and KA variants (still testing which one is the best). KB1 was awesome with my gps locks though with almost 3 meter accuracy with 8/12 sats locked). The speeds were also like +1-2mbs depending on the location and this was tested with a friend that has JKx modem. Also google googles and the 3d gallery up was not shutting down the sensor server which was draining the battery hardcore. Until now I still havent been able to replicate how I got the 2days battery life. I could revert to the previous bionix version because i have a back up too but this battery issue is not really that of a problem.

Amazing batterylife (5d 21h) with Sam's S.U.R.F.A.C.E. JVU v9.01 ROM!!!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say that my battery was 5 days and 21 hours has endured, with Sam's SURFACE JVU v9.01 ROM! I called at that time about 1h, 50 SMS sent, angry birds played 1h, 30min data connection, and 30min with wifi connected. I find this simply amazing and really did not know that this was possible. Apparently so, because Sam's ROM course! So thank you Sam!
Well, on standby with not apps running and wifi off, my phone drains about 20% a day at most if I don't use it. 1 hour of calling, 1hour of angry birds and some surfing would usually also drain about 30%. So in general, with such minimal use, the battery would last about 3-4 days anyway.
You convince me to test this ROM!

It's true. Roms which drain battery are 2.3.3-based roms, as well as poorly made custom roms. Most other roms, especially the froyo 2.2.1 ones, have very good battery life. I'm not saying that the rom you're using isn't good, but I'd simply like to point out that battery life with your amount of usage is gonna be long with most roms anyway.
dont want to troll here, but if standby usages are higher than screen that means you havent used it that much, so it's not due to the rom but due to almost no usage. 3-4 hours of screen turned on a week is almost no use of this phone.
(screen usage uses most battery and it lasts for about 4 hours of screen, it doesnt matter if it is used in a few hours or you dont use your phone and it cumulates 4 hours of screen use during a week)

I also tend to gree with you, after all this battery life on a samsung base is normal
Never managed to get more than 2 days out of my phone so far on any rom but I use it alot and I am pleased with it's battery life
You may all tell what you want, but have flashed many rom's, and i use my phone most of the time like i wroted in first post. And never i had a batterylife like this! Si, for me its rom dependent.

Incredible! Grote, dank u wel. I will try this ROM
Nothing special at all, u did not use data, that way it works like a Nokia dumbphone. Also u did not turn on screen very often, if u try this with a froyo rom and speedmod kernel you would even get more out of one charge.

That's right. you can't even see the "screen" usage on the screenshot, it means you didn't use it almost at all...
if i use my phone the first thing in battery usage is the "screen" than the other apps and stuff...
My sgs holds 14 days!!!!
There is one limitation, however .... I did not turned it on in this period
Seriously ...RLY :-/

Lol... Buddy u vent used the phone like what an avg user over here does...
2.3.6 jw1 rom with data for email push all the day active the battery holds 24hours at most ...depends the other usage
Battery 5 days... ummm you sure you did not leave phone in charging mode.. Basically I can get more too if i don't use as much as you... lol
I'm pretty sure there is nothing revolutionary in this thread - my SGS could last 7 days maybe more even. Fresh cheap 1900mah battery - no stupid widgets or programs in background, no gps, no wifi, 3G ON.

Not weird. When unused, battery lasts for a long time even on stock roms - I'm on stock JVT. With the help of a properly configured juice defender or tasker, you can easily get draining paces this low even by using the phone a bit more. Nonetheless I'm more than confident that Sam's JVU provides even more time to battery than stock roms.
to be honest, I'm hardly far from a power source that long though.
