Best configuration for three days of battery! - Nexus S General

Hello beautiful, sorry for my bad english!
We can write here, comparing ideas and impressions of all, what is the best configuration to protect the battery?
It may seem an obsession, but now it is summer and it often happens that the cells can not just load it because I have an outlet in attack.
So often I stay off her cell phone.
The Nexus S promises, but together with your expertise, I would like to figure out how to stay on the nexus s for as long as possible.
To understand Configuration: os (cyanogen, stock, AOPs, etc. ...), the kernel, governor settings, launcher, widgets, various tricks (NFC disabled) ...
There were?
Can we make the battery last for three days ?!?!?!?!?!!
-------
Let me explain, I have the latest nightly cyanogen, the 88. Off data always when I'm around and I do not use the internet. I do not need the push, so no active sync. The wifi I turn it on only at home or at work, I have WhatsApp, twitter and I uninstalled facebook to try what were saying that facebook consumes battery. I have launcher pro and Gtasks widget for notes in gmail, news and weather widget for news that is updated every 6 hours, if it's on the Internet, and then all program icons. I have installed very few, narrow required.
The kernel is the 1.3.3 universal netarchy signed cfs (the bfs? Is not that I had to use the bfs what do you think?).
This afternoon I used the GPS a few minutes to find an address, then he arrived, I turned off the GPS and data, with the widgets "Power Control" modified cyanogen.
Some short calls since this morning and some short text messages, not even 10. Some web browsing on 3G, but not much.
Well, after all this I can tell you that after only 11hours 18minutes 5seconds the battery is already 42% (97% this morning after recharge).
I'm not coming to pass even 23 hours which is what you do with a simple stock 2.3.4.
What is the sense I'm in the kernel and cyanogen netarchy? Only to change some other small lockscreen?
I need the battery! And I have already explained why.
The other ROM that you have listed does not come from cyanogen?
They are not "pure" cyanogen changed? Implemented? Correct?
Let me know ....
The AOSP where they come from? They are like cyanogen, a family on its own? O derived from cyanogen, too?
Now I remove the cyanogen and try something else.
What do you suck a lot in my phone? WhatsApp? Imagine if gripping always-sync data and as some of you! Not even 10 hours would last.
In the processes running there: Settings - 1 and 0 process services (21MB), WhatsApp - 1 process and 2 services (8.8 Mb), Market - a process and a service (11Mb) Maps - a service process and 1 (5.8 Mb) Google services - 2 processes and one service (15Mb), keyboard Android - a process and a service (8.9 Mb) - TOTAL: 153Mb used and 152 free.
It's right? Do you have it?
I just do not understand where mistake ... help me ...

This is actually quite poetic, in a nonsensical way.
But I can't understand it - could a native speaker please try to "translate"?

why is there a 2nd thread on this? do the mods even ever come here?

Complaining about your phone being HALF dead after 11 hours?! Mine is completely dead after 5! I'm lucky if I even make it that far.

if thats true you need to take it back for a replacement.

3 days of phone use.
Step 1: charge phone to full
Step 2: Set phone down on table
Step 3: Pick it back up 72hrs later

in most cases that would be correct but in reality no phone running android without an extended battery will achieve 3 days. BUT my 4g did go 2 days/8hrs with medium usage.

I can see two days no prob with some average use. You could maybe get 3 days if the screen brightness was at zero, setcpu locked at 500mhz Max and constantly toggle airplane mode when not using it.
What fun is that though.

You seem to have completely missed his point, which is that people who tout their batteries lasting 2 and 3 days acheive this by not really using the phone at all.

i bet with heavy usage i could go about 24hrs. i used my phone alot yesterday and still had great life on a stock battery. i guess everyones phone is different. it also depends on what kernel and rom you use.

Correct. There are so many variables. Some say their battery lasts 7hrs. What we never know is if their homescreen looks like a widget bomb exploded on it, everything set to auto sync every hour and brightness at 100% while they use it like a mini laptop non stop.
At work I get like 5 hours. I use it redicously heavy almost all day.
The two biggest battery killers are tapatalk and web browsing. If that is all you do, yep you will never make it past a day.

I think this is pretty accurate.
Typically, with average use (by my estimation) I get about 22-23 hrs between charges.
Average use is defined by
*Netarchy kernel overclocked to 1.2GHz with SetCPU (screen off profile set to 500MHz)
*2-3 hrs of talk time (with about -85dBm signal on average - or at least that's what it is when the call starts)
*push email for 3 IMAP accounts at 5min check intervals and sending and receiving at least 75-100 emails per day
*push gmail with 60 or so emails per day
*fancy widgets updating location every 30 mins.
*Seesmic twitter widgets on homescreen updating 3 accounts.
*Facebook widget
*locations service always on
*wifi never sleeping
I think that's most of what's running.
Battery life on the NS4G has made me laugh at my Evo's 8hr charge and has actually made me use my phone MORE out of confidence that my battery will last.

I went on a vacation out of the states so I couldn't use my phone. It was charged before I went and I just left it in airplane mode for the whole trip, and occasionally used it for music and a calculator. After about 4 days it went dead, I was surprised it lasted that long.

I'm not sure if you have let the battery die all the way to 0% and then charge it overnight. Do this 4-6 times a month and you will see a huge increase in battery life.

Yeah you should do this only when calibrating the battery which should need to be done very very infrequently it not at all.

[Q] Juice Defender

I have heard good things about juice defender, but i have a basic question. It says it turns of data during times, or when certain apps are running, etc...
Now, is the data only internet connection? Or will it interfere with my ability to get texts as well, because that would be a deal break for me.
Data is only the internet. The only things that you'll be missing out on are e-mails, which will still come through based on your schedule set up and when you have your screen on.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Heard so much about this app, tried it and took me only a few hours to remove it. When screen is off, it kills data, so basically apps like K-9 Mail that push my IMAP-idle email accounts and poll other accounts are basically impotent.
Plus the interface is confusing with a myriad of settings and no real hold on what settings stick or what not to set. I understand the concept of the app but it's not for me. With stock rom and mediahub-DRM-whatever-process killed off manually, i get by a work day with 50% left over on the train/bus-ride home, more than enough to do stuff before i get home.
I dave been using juicedefender for 3 weeks and it has maximized my batt an overall of 1.4x. The interface is confusing for those that don't spend time and learn it....its granular.

U can set it to fcetch data on certain time intervals and u can get emails like that
Sent from my Epic 4G
I'm totally happy with it - I'm getting a rating of around 1.7x to 1.9x I know I can easily go a full day on one charge. The default setting of enabling data every 15 minutes is enough for me - I don't expect to get emails that are time sensitive to the point where a maximum of 15 minute delay would be detrimental. And I play with my phone a lot so I'm usually waking it up to respond to texts and it reenables data then anyway.
edit: I'm not using any battery tweaks or DRM disabling stuff. I'm stock except for rooting.
You guys and this juice defender. you use more battery with this because it is always running in the background. i get 45 hours without juice defender or a task killer. 1 day of battery pleasssseee i could get 2 if it was left in standby or more. no drm removed. root, cwm, galaxy rom and kernel di18 & blue minimalism
Oh well f me... If you're getting 45 hours that must mean I can get 45 hours because, you know, our geographic locations have the exact same coverage and we have the exact same phone usage patterns. Wow I feel like such an idiot. Thank you. Thank you for showing me that juice defender, instead of increasing my battery life by a good 6-8 hours, is actually killing it by 21 hours...

That's fine - always be skeptical especially when an update comes out to improve performance. I'm about to test the new kernel without this to see if it's worth it. But I know that keeping data off on my Hero tripled the battery life and since having this phone it's definitely increased it. But you can't tell me that I'm losing 21 hours of battery life by using it - and definitely don't try to make me feel like an idiot for using it either.

Im sure its not killing you by 21 hours. prolly your STOCK sync settings though. i only turn it on for a minute or two 3x a day. but go with out it i bet its prolly like 8 hours. think about it when your screen is off it is running. well that is another process that is draining battery unneccessarily. My entire phone is set up like on demand it does what i want it to when i want it to not when it wants too and all of this is acheived with stock settings and checking every app for update frequency settings. I use my phone a lot so i need it to be there.

So for argument's sake, and because I wanted an actual test, I installed your setup based on you're post earlier, andromeda rom, no juice, etc. gmail and facebook sync off. I even went in 4 times throughout the day to turn off running services. I got 11 hours and that was with charging while I was in a vehicle. So I would say about 9 to 10 hours really. TWS was only at 16%. Display was the biggest battery drain at 82%.
So now that I've done this, I can say without a doubt, for me personally, juice defender is really extending my battery life. While running juice defender, I take my phone off the charger at 6am typically and when I go to bed at midnight I still have over 20%. And if I don't plug my phone in, I can wake up at 6am the next day and the phone is still on.
You have a setup that works for you, and I have a setup that works for me. In my setup, juice defender gets me through a 24 hour period without charging. Now that I've got the andromeda rom and kernel, I'm going to test battery life with juice.

45 hours is meaningless when you just let the phone sit in standby the entire time. That's like the car commercials that list higher mpg than they get in the real world.

I have juice defender installed only for it's two toggle widgets. With defender disabled it doesn't run in background, I take advantage of the data toggle widget and I've seen it save as high as 5x's life.

*update, as promised* How my atrix is getting me 1day 15hrs of battery life...

I wish i could do a screen shot....but with 8% battery life left and already downloading all the SS programs in the market, it wont be done.
I haven't charged my phone for 1day 15hrs 39mins, and still have 8% battery life.
Using nothing more than the built-in Task manager (aka performancemanager.apk) i have been testing my phone out to maximize battery.
Display has been auto
no task killers downloaded
setcpu profiles active
launcher pro with 7 hopmescreens all full with widget5s and programs
over 200 apps downlloaded from market
background sync on
no lwp on
no battery reconditioning done to my knowledge
i will be writing a more indepth walk through on my settings, apps, and how i use setcpu profiles within the next couple hours...hope this helps others, please thank me if it did
*update*
Hope SOMEONE gets some good out of this

I can use my phone over two days without charging it and all I did was...nothing. I think the people who have problems with battery life are those who aren't at all familiar with how Android (and Android apps) work/s.
How long was the Display on?
just under 3 hours, just to reply to emails/texts, phone calls and a little gps/market browsing.
someone gave this a one star, nice...well i guess if no one cares about details i will just have the mods close thread...

I only started using Android with my Atrix. I did have a rom on sd for my Tilt2, but that was not even close to Android goodness. And phobos512, the very thought that you voiced is exactly what I am after. Any chance that you could point me toward an explanation or elaborate about how Android and Apps work.
The upcoming guide from justflorin will be like having a fish handed to me. What you speak of will teach me to fish.
Thanks to you both in advance.
I would definitely be interested in hearing some more about this being new to android. I'm currently averaging around ~14 hours I think from unplugged to 5% or so...

I can make it a solid day usually but my display is on longer than 3 hours easily. If you leave your phone alone of course the battery isn't going to drain as fast.

I can EASILY last two and a half days if I wanted to. SETCPU is set to 760 Max, goes down to 400 some when screen is off. Battery manager is maximum profile (honestly besides email, why do you need apps to constantly sync??).

if hes syncing emails and social media theres no way he gets that kind of battery life. im currently on 24 hours of phone idle with 1 hour of display time and 50% left but thats with all account sync off but i do have background sync on for stuff like weather widgets. its no secret just turn off stuff that sync like emails, calendar, contacts and FB and you will get great battery life.

If you have the RGB multipliers on the voodoo app to full and brightness on full you will get 2:30 mins lollol, found that out at uni yesterday;P
But that was heavy usage as well But i could see everything on the screen in direct bright sunshine)
Biggest killers are things like powerAMP(but worth it), virus scanners, anything you have syncing under 1 hour...
I never use auto brightness
Just common sense stuff dude really

3g data is a big one. You can switch the phone to 2g when your not using the internet or sending and receiving pictures. YouTube / videos, and music are the main killers. If you limit the use and use SETCPU to underclock the phones processor then you'd be fine.
I normally get about 14-15 hours from moderate use with 3g data, GPS setting and auto brightness all on. In my opinion that is excellent especially considering what the phone can do.

what? i get 24 hours+ with 3G (HSDPA) on all day. this is only true depending on your location, if you're in a place with weak 3G signal, then yes it'll drain.. but that applies to anything. if you have weak service, it'll stress more on the radio causing more battery to be used.
SetCPU: Profiles will cause phone to reboot/shut down etc etc. All sorts of problems can happen. And OP said he's not rooted so this is not an option.
My brightness is set to 0.00%
the screen is by far the biggest battery drain, nothing else comes close!

no one ever said heavy use.. moderate use, i could go on for 24 hours+ easily.
its not "bull****" all you have to do is:
A) Apps with syncing (reduce them to 2 hours+ rather than every 10min/30m/1hour)
B) USE BLACK WALLPAPERS! this is a must. white on the Nexus S (or any Super AMOLED screen) is absolutely kryptonite
C) Flash a custom ROM + Netarchy's 1.3.0.2 CFS Kernel. (This is a must as well)
D) GPS/WiFi/BT off.
E) Possibly recalibrate your battery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031531 Attached is your proof. NSCollab is pretty much CM7 + some minor modifications.
Now can y'all stop being disrespectful? We're not here to say our battery lasts over 24 hours+ just to mess with your head and make you feel bad. It's the truth. You just need to do these little small things to get the best out of your battery.

Who's being disrespectful? Did I say anything disrespectful? I can believe 24 hours on moderate use while doing the things you mentioned.

technically speaking the phone can last several days in standby
Push email/gmail on 3g kills the battery pretty fast.
Push email (exchange) + push gmail on 3g destroys the battery
So if you "push" sync anything (email, twitter, latitude etc) on 3g, you can simply forget about a decent battery life.

Just because you haven't been able to achieve it doesn't mean people are lying to you. I have a thread about my battery life lasting 24hrs+ and I still had 16% when I put it on the charger. And that was with 2.5 hrs of calling, the screen on for a couple hours, syncing, facebooking, video recording and uploading, and some other things. Maybe you should take a look at that thread and see what you can do differently instead of being disrespectful.
In case you have not try this, you can try disable Location service from 'Location & Security' settings. Turn off both 'Use wireless networks' and 'Use GPS satellites'.
This worked for me.

Ok, thanks for clearing it up and I do agree with your previous post. It definitely makes sense.

It's a combination of all of the above.... location and push email (other than gmail..I have my work email updating every hour) and bright colored screens are the 3 killers I found...and obviously staying on 3G adds to it.. I can last a good 17-19 hours on mostly 2G (maybe 3G when downloading heavy stuff), with just above average use... that number is good enough for me...charging overnight is all I need.. I also have weatherbug updating every 2 hours...
oh and make sure u don't have that init bug... using OS monitor, check if /init keeps fluctuating...if so, check the debug mode in your settings,.. always have the box checked and you will notice a huge difference
funny how people freak out when someone has done something that they perceive as unachievable... just like when android was ported to the HD2 XD everyone that saw mine was like WTF!? now its all normal and expected @[email protected]
but just as everyone has been mentioning, there are ways to get 24+ hours of battery life, its just all the small things that make a difference =)

Amazing battery life!

Tweaky Rom 4.1 (JVH), Supercurio's Voodoo kernel, JV9 Modem, with Armani battery (1650mAh).
Loving my SGS now.
Sorry but this is not great battery life.I used to have 5days standby with 3hours of display usage and wifi always on in Froyo.But overall its a great Rom i use it myself .

3 hours display usage is pretty typical for me at normal 1GHZ clock. at 800MHZ i get about 15 minutes more.
I'm on MIUI and with moderate use I get up to 2 days^^

No, he got wired to a car battery. The electrical shock deleted his memory and he forgot where he had left his phone. After nine days of not touching it at all, he finally found it and took a screenshot ...

That's on stock 2.2.1 (and it should be noted that the battery wasn't empty, it was at 15%) ... On 2.3.3, at best I got 5 days.

Not using anything isnt the exact description For a smartphone.
I finally topped the 2 Day mark with my 2.3.3 juwe rom. I had problems before to reach at least the 24 hours, sometimes i had to refuel during the Day,caused by the massive drauf bug which keeps android awake. First i deinstalled the latest maps update and undescribed from latitude.i also did Not touch any gameloft game. Wifi was on Most of the time when awake. See the battery historie below

Hey i new to this, i have a UK I9000, that i recently updated to JVO on kies. I previously had my phone replaced by samsung due to battery issues. but my new one seems to be the same. I can just about get 14 hours or so of use out of it. I have brightness set to outo, auto sync on, have an gmail and an exchange email, also am on 2g/3g auto. i am unsure if i should flash to custom? i keep reading that people are getting 2days out of their battery. i would say that not a heavy user!! could do with some advide! thanks
If I am always in a wifi area I probs get about 4 or 5 days. If though 3G is on i've known it to go from 100% to phyically off within a matter of hours even when not actually using the phone.
Sorry but i am amazed from these screenshot.
I am difficulty arriving to the night.
My phone is having the standard battery, with two google accounts setted on sync and i really use it FEW... 3 hours of display? A dream.
I am on 2.2 because it is branded and i really wonder how u can achieve 2 days. 5 days with moderate use i would shot my head to achieve it.
Someone can give me a good advice?
Also, how are u taking the battery history?
Considering display and mobile data are the biggest battery drainers, we more detailed information than just time on. Give me display usage.
i'm using Darky's Rom V10 RC6 for about 2 weeks and after recalibrating my battery i'm on 3 days now with average use.

By average use what do you mean? What functions have you got turned on? For instance are you only using 2G? I would Love my phone to get at least 1 1/2 days worth of use!!

battery life examples

so as i scour the forums looking for new tweaks and mods, i see people posting about having 28 hours or 3 days of life on one charge. my question is...what is your best SCREEN ON time. i can make my battery last 3 days too, if it just sits there. my Max so far on cm7 is attached. let me know what you guys are getting!

i don't have a program to do screen shots, and I only replaced my battery bout 8 hours ago, but my best screen on time I can remember is about 3h 20 some minutes.
So far today is great. Running CM7. Over 7 hours and not at 50% yet...... Not really turning the screen on except to text and check a few thing...
I remember on stock ec05 and ei22 i could never get my battery to last even if i left the phone on a desk with the screen off....

whats the name of the program ur using in the 2nd pic that says battery stats and shows the list of apps that been used?
How are you getting that much life from your battery? I am on CM7 with the CM7 Kernel. After 1 hr I was at 84% and I didn't do anything but turn the phone on and get one text. After 8hrs I was at 12%, 7 missed calls, checked 3 VVM, 4 market updates, and I only made or received about 8 calls for a total of 35min. I have a stock battery that is about 14 mos old. What can I do differently?
I am running Legendary with Samurai kernel and I have broken 4 hours screen on time once. I am sure it is only once because I charge it every night so I just haven't had it on that much on other days. Currently I am at 38% with 2 1/2 hours screen time on and 13 hours on battery.

Not sure whats going on.... Maybe your in a poor service area? That drains a lot. Running services in the background?
The only things I've done was turn sync off for everything but my two k9 email accounts and brightness to the lowest setting. Kill every app I don't need running. I found a setting in CM7 where holding the back button kills the app, even if its multiple window app.

I am not to sure . You should check our betterbatterystats. It will show you where you may be getting partial wakelocks. You may have a rouge app hogging resources.

My stock epic running EI22 has 18hrs on the batt. With 5% left and screen time is 4.5hrs. It is a stock Samsung 1500 battery I bought new a few months ago. The old battery runs the phone fine when it's idle, but craps out fast with a load on it.
