Yeah it is great. I generally lose 0-1% on 8 hours of standby with WiFi on.
yea and yours is stock right? imagine what we can get out of it with more reliable battery saving kernels
It's awesome although I never very high tablet idle because I have a bunch of crap running in the background - GMail, 3 IMAP accounts every 10 mins, Twitter every 15 mins, Facebook every 30 mins, etc etc.
I still get about 8 hours of standby on 10% of battery with WiFi. When I'm on 3G though it drains a lot quicker.

100% stock and not even rooted & yes, my wifi is on 100% of the time!
click on the graph and you will see additional information that will rock your mind.
Why don't you use your Xoom instead of letting it sit idle???

when you say wifi on 100% you mean you have the disconnect policy set to never (last option)

yea i love it also. If you underclock it like around 912 or 760mhz then you get pretty good battery life for the whole day. If you play any games or watch any videos then you can always go back up

I was playing gun bros last night. Played for about an hour but then stopped and got caught up to something else. I didn't quit the game either. I totally forgot I was playing it until recently. The game was on for a whole day. 50% of juice still left

One thing that caught my eye which seems to not be a problem as it was on my htc incredible is that something (app related) is keeping my xoom awake. For example the xoom batter says its been on for 4 hours and the awake time (under system status) says 4 hours. I couldnt figue out which app was causing this so I did a test to see if this awake time was actually draining battery as it was on my incredible.
In short I charged my battery to 100% before going to bed and restarted xoom to start from 0hours awake and 0hours battery use. Checked it 8 or 9 hours later and saw that my awake time was exactly that of battery use time however my battery read 100% with that much time being awake (by app).
Thus the awake time although drained my incredible does not impact my xoom enough to really care about. Hopefully this may help if anyone else is OCD about awake versus sleep times.

IIRC, I read a post somewhere here saying this awake problem was caused by the WeatherBug app (IIRC that is ).

Yeah I read that as well. I dont have weatherbug though! I dunno what it is, I tried deleting apps and testing and couldnt find the culprit. Seems to not impact the battery whatsoever as I tested it overnight with 100% battery charge and woke up with 100% battery despite being awake all night.
The only thing that stays awake in my running services it seems is my android keyboard so it may be related to that or an app keeping my keyboard awake. All other processes are consistant with the screen on time.

It's the latest CNN app, it launches a service which keeps the XOOM awake. It shows up as Android System. If your Android System awake time is high it's CNN.

Yep CNN for me too. Its only if u use the widget though it seems. Using the app normally doesn't cause the wakelock.
I'm using Weatherbug on my wifi only Xoom without any problems. I haven't tried the widget, maybe that's where the problem is.

Not needed. From the pic he attached it's obvious the phone was in standby most of the time.
Man, you even use ya phone?
What is with this obsession of battery life goin on 'round here? I say, as long as you can get better battery life than a stock rom, you've won. Keeping the phone on for a day or two without charging seems like a good idea, but everyday isn't the same, and one day you may need to use it way more than any other day..if you start that day off with only 30% just because you wanted to see how long your battery would last, then you really gotta limit how often you use your phone just so that it can make it till the next time your around a charger.

The battery needs to be charged? I bought my phone back in June. The battery is now at 70%. I figured I just had to buy a new one when this one runs out.
Barely used phone. Come on.
Display 4%? Is that possible?
I can go a full day and a half, 36 hours, without a charge and I am using the original sense android... and I use my phone normally, I text, read usatoday, tmz, check email a few times, use the xda app... and I have wifi on all the time! What's this beef with battery life on these forums? Mine lasts forever! I just have things update manually, I don't let anything run without my permission.
I do, however, turn my phone off the 6 hours I am sleeping.
wifi is on = low battery usage, atleast in my experience.
Indeed. I got 1 day and 19 hours on stock nonrooted 2.2 back. and i used it for some medium texting. and some gps applications...maybe 2-3 hours max awake time. i dont think you used it much...the excessive 3G usage from FB doesnt mean anything.

According to mine, it's 122 min of screen on usage.
I had this scenario on my phone running myn's rls2 + king cfs #11 yesterday:
since unplugged - 24 hours
display on - 1 hour 25 minutes
charge remaining - 50%.
so i wanted to find out how long the battery would last on standby, and to my surprise.. it turned out to be nearly 58 hrs!!! that was on stock sense rom. non-rooted. and of course with very very minimal use. i basically just left the phone alone on my desk or in my pocket all day.
here is the screenshot i took back in july:
but that kind of battery life is unrealistic with normal usage. I am a moderate user (on the higher side), and i typically put my evo on charge everyday in the morning when i get to work (on weekdays). so, the charge on my phone lasts about 25 hrs with normal usage, that usually means about 4-5hrs of Awake Time. this is after rooting the phone. and i am using a stock rooted sense rom. i have had similar results before rooting the phone as well.
on weekends, i find myself charging the phone about 3 times (over 2 days), as the usage of the phone goes very very high.
i have a charger on my desk at work for the weekday charging, and a charger in my car for the weekends.
i have recently installed setCPU, and havent really seen that making too much of a difference, but that perhaps has to do with my usage pattern.
as pointed out in many a threads, signal strength is one major factor when it comes to battery drain. i live in Atlanta and i have great Sprint coverage where I am located, and that makes a world of difference.

it would help if you indicate the battery life that you were getting on stock or any other rom you were using prior to this. because there are so many variables that come into play as far as battery life is concerned. so that will help put your claim into some perspective

You need to post the battery percentage, the off-the-charger time, the display on time, and what radios you have been using.
Luck you! I just moved to the Newest Fresh and using Baked Kernel #5. I get about 300mA at idle!! Why the heck is it draining that much at idle and NO 3g, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS. Just basic tower??? Gee. Starting to think I might need a new battery

try going back to the matching stock kernel and make sure the radio's match for the 3.70.xxx.x rom.
Fixed my issues.
His gives great battery but phone ends up being laggy after a while.
Myns with Kings #9. I've used it, not much either. Over 15 text, about 3 calls. 1 or 2 websites and GPS approximately 5 minutes while I played with the 3D mapping and satellite view's. About 4 ShootMe picture's to keep up with the battery and 5 e-mails.

Yeah I'm on Myn's with Baked Kernel 6 and get around 40+ hours with light usage. That includes some texts, maybe like 5-10 minutes of games, and few e-mails, and a little browsing.
Also, that's on wifi. Once break is over and I'm on 3g again, it'll go down by a lot.
So with that said im guessing you have mobile data and all of that off... hardly if any data apps sync'd. I've used that exact combination before and got nowhere near that. And with only 6% idle? Seems odd...

Data is on. Only app's I sync are facebook, twitter, mobile buzz and news and weather every 1-3 hours depending on the app.
People get crazy about battery life, I'm one of them hah
But if someone had to turn everything off that makes it a smartphone just to get 40 hours, then they prolly don't really need a smartphone, I can get easily 16 hours with above average usage, usually more... Why people need more than that all the time baffles me, you guys can't charge at night? You must sleep in the woods lol.
When you're only getting 8-10 hours max, I agree that its a problem..

I just don't use all the extra stuff that everybody does. I don't need the weather application, I can always open my front door before I go outside. I don't use my work email on my phone, I refuse. Work should be done at work and not home, I leave that time for friends and family, a line a lot can't seem to hold. Facebook, twitter, mobile buzz and news and weather are the only widgets/services I need synching. My phone back's itself up every night thru lookout, I forgot about that one and my contacts also sync every week. When I use the phone heavily, I can get about 8-10 hours. My phone is usually 20% to 10% when I leave work and that is extreme heavy usage including SlingBox for an hour or so.
Nevermind! Must have had some things running in the background. Been about 2 hours since unplugged and been on 3G, played maybe 5 minuted of Angry Birds, 2 emails, 2 2 minute phone calls, few texts and browsing the android market for about 10 minutes. I'm now at 84%

Its the new kernel #15 a lot of people have been posting great battery life. I'm at 72% right now with 16.5 hours off charger.
So did a little test. Trickled charged about 30 minutes past 100%, took it off charge and immediately turned 3G on. Had to use GPS for about 5 minutes, made a few calls that were spread out over 30minutes. Email and Facebook updated every hour. Phone has been off charge since 9am EST today and was only down to about 37%. Stock battery, seems fair but I'm just trying different kernels out.
im losing around 10 percent an hour on standby and i know im not doing anything different i have my phone setup the way i always have. im running the lastest version of syndicate with the ec05 modem

If this guys phone has the HIV, i'm [email protected]#$ed!
I'm losing 10% in 10 minutes! Absolutely ridiculous. I'm on EC05. Auto brightness off. Brightness to the lowest setting. Stock, rooted, removed some bloatware but left DRM stuff.
This is after pulling it off the charger from 100% and a fresh reboot. I just toggled airplane so my TWS was at 21% when I took these screenshots.
EDIT: I've already calibrated my battery after updating from EB13 to EC05 and wiped batt stats.
I dont know about 10% every 10min..but I also noticed battery usage skyrocket in 1.1.0 from 1.0.2..and I didnt even install any software yet or customized anything..its effectively clean rom....
what stands out is standby....im at:
standby: 51%
display: 34%
phone idle: 15%
and I havent even touched the phone at all :/ (you can see that by the huge idle amount)
It used to be like 90% display before...and everything else was under 10%.I even turned off Google Syncing.

I've had sleep issues ever since DK28. The phone will randomly stop sleeping, and will barely last 12 hours on battery with *zero* usage. Sometimes a reboot will fix it for a few hours, then it will just randomly stop sleeping again. I tried everything to fix it, flashed EC05 three times, twice by going back to DI18 with odin and flashing update.zip, and once by flashing the pre-rooted tar from android-central. Didn't even install any apps or anything after the last flash and left pretty much everything stock, still does it. When it's not sleeping, spare parts usually shows a running time of over 70%, even if I've got the phone sitting in my pocket or on my desk all day. There's nothing under partial wake that shows any kind of significant usage. It'll be "awake" for 8 hours, but there's no evidence in spare parts as to what's eating up those 8 hours.
Tried killing DRM service, toggling airplane mode, leaving phone IN airplane mode, wifi/gps/bluetooth disabled, rebooting, clearing dalvik cache, wiping data, and probably some other things I can't remember off the top of my head. The last thing I tried was pulling the battery for 5 or 10 minutes. Oddly enough, it's been trouble-free since then. Probably just a coincidence and it'll stop sleeping any minute now.
I have had the same problem. I think the problem is under sensor usage. The android system is using it a lot of the time.

I was actually just looking at that and see sensor going 5%-10% cpu usage..
This has happened to me a few times since upgrading to SRF 1.1.0.
The phone will get really hot and burn through my battery at an alarming rate.
What I usually do is shut down, pull the battery, and let everything cool and then all goes back to working normally.
Very strange, but at least there's a relatively easy temporary fix.
Recalibrated the accelometer..lets see if that helps..
Are you using the new Telenav GPS app? It downloaded 6 Gigs of data in 5 days on my phone, draining battery like a boss.

Well, after driving for around an hour my phone's battery dropped from a ~30% charge to dead.
Luckily I seem to have been spared the data corruption I often hear about with non-journaled ROMs and power cuts like that (seems to be the only glitch I never get).
Something strange is going on, almost as though the phone is constantly running a benchmark (since it gets rather warm, as well).

Off the changer at about 7am then listen to music for awhile to drown out some boring teachers! then some games at lunch. A few texts here and there and calls for about 10 minutes. Its now 12:27 and I still have 67% battery!
I gotta put it on the charger before I go to bed so I can start fresh tomorrow.
Battery life varies GREATY with usage; a good indicator of usage would be your on-screen time.
What is your on-screen time?
Also we have another similar thread here:

Why did you create a new one ...?
There is another thread like this one with real usage battery life...
That being said, I agree that this combo has awesome battery life. I'm using it myself. I froze a few pre-installed apps, and turned auto sync off, and my phone seriously dropped 1% overnight with wifi on. That's pretty amazing. I don't have deep idol on, stock voltages, and 200/1200 with interactiveX.

I don't have my phone on me right now, so I'll post what I froze in a minute. Freezing apps stops them from using up RAM and CPU time. In turn that saves battery. It doesn't save as much as turning off the auto sync though.
my phone was 1 day and 15 hrs without a charger but this rom have bugs like home buttom not working screen close (need to be like old tv) etc etc....
I turned off auto sync and backup but my battery still drains pretty fast even when on 2G all the time.
I've frozen Maps and Talk but that doesn't seem to help.
I noticed that my phone awake time is high enough when the screen off although it can go to deep sleep normally.
I also noticed that Google Services has high % of battery use.
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?
I'm sure that I have turned off auto sync.
But this Google Services still drains my battery.

I've frozen Maps and Talk but that doesn't seem to help.
I noticed that my phone awake time is high enough when the screen off although it can go to deep sleep normally.
I also noticed that Google Services has high % of battery use.
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?
I'm sure that I have turned off auto sync.
But this Google Services still drains my battery.

What phone do you have? I have a 4g, so it's on CDMA. I know that the auto sync takes up more power on CDMA networks then it does on GSM. Do you have GPS on? What about your NFC? Those both take up battery.
How exactly do you "freeze" an app?

There's an app on the market called titanium backup. You can "freeze" apps so they aren't running and don't show up anywhere. It stops them from running in the background.
I have an i9023, the GSM one.
Yes I've turned off almost all that my phone doesn't even deserve a title of smartphone.
Clean install of ROM is done already.

You have to freeze apps like Google + Google wallet ( stuff you never use) just make sure the system does not need it or you'll run into issues. Also use a task killer but disable auto kill and only kill when u need too.

Task killers are a waste of space. When will people learn how to exit apps properly and know that the android system handles its memory just fine on its own?

since heard someone said standby for 10 hours used 1%, so 24 hrs used 6% is abnormal ??
remarks: no wifi / no auto sync / airplane mode
how to fix it ?
ok....why do you need a fix if the battery drain is that good?
+1 with ace.
That's fine. Nothing to worry about it being too fast. And if it's too slow why would you fret?
For future reference, if it's too fast it's likely a background app doing things (e.g., syncing / downloading or uploading data = keeping wifi on = draining more battery, reading or writing memory etc.). Over a long period of time (a few years?) it could just be the battery beginning to show signs of old age. Things like this.
But at the moment, no need to go overboard and think you need an RMA or start diagnostic tests which will likely do more harm than good.
as previous said, that doesn't sound bad. It means it would sleep for... something like 12 days, to kill it. If you're letting it sleep that long, then what's the point in having it?

Abnormal? Google advertises 300 hours of standby time = 8% per 24 hours.
How is this a problem? Hell, I'm lucky to get 24 hours all together without having to charge. You must not use your device much or at all if you are trying to fix something that isn't broken.

24 sleeping. He also had airplane mode turned on. So he wasn't using the phone at all (No screen time), and no wireless signals whatsoever.
That's why it's so good, but normal for that kind of usage.

Well considering that you don't use it and had nothing turned on as far as data services go. Yeah, it's actually better than normal.

Yes, it's normal. And besides, if you're not using the screen at all and have all wireless services turned off; why don't you just turn it off and lose 0% battery?

haha, i just concern it normal or not, since somebody said drain 1% per day with same situation.
If it's normal, everything is ok.
Its not bad, but if you really want good battery... Turn off push notifications, background sync for stuff like currents and Facebook, and set WiFi > advanced > "Keep WiFi on during sleep" to "only when plugged in". I also have most user apps greenified. This is on the stock 4.2.2 ROM and kernel.
For me a tablet is a secondary device and doesn't need to be constantly updating when I'm at work or out, that's what my phone is for. This is for couch web browsing, reading, and watching movies on airplanes.
15 hours unplugged and still fully charged. I generally get 9~10 hours of screen time as well.
And, since words without proof are worthless...

OMG, I have seen some silly battery usage topics in my time but this seriously has to take 1st prize!! :silly:
What on earth is the point of turning all the radio signals off and leaving it on sleep for 24 hours and then worry about 6%??? You may aswell just turn the device off.
Seriously dude, I am amazed.
