Well you should have probably started here
Without rooting/flashing then you can turn your brightness all the way down, delete all your widgets, turn off data sync, and use a pure black background.
Or just root and flash Trigger or project V + the bali kernel and be amazed

Why not just root? And flash a different rom?

Let me guess......Someone told u shouldn't root or flash (t-mobile guy at the mall?) cuz u could mess ur phone up and t-mobile won't honor the warranty.
Well let me tell u something L1LK1LLERZ , you NEED to root then flash one of this ROMs on that Vibrant of yours if you wanna notice any significant battery life gain. Rooting and Flashing is pretty simple and safe on the Vibrant ,compared to my wife's HTC Glacier aka MyTouch 4g, anyways IF (big [email protected]#king IF) you are able to follow instructions precisely (common sense baby) and you could always go back to stock if you need to return ur phone to t-mobile.

I highly recommend downloading juice defender from the market. That app alone has given me hours more of battery life.

Can you guys show me your settings for juice defender ? I tried it and didn't see any changes in my battery life! And which version is the best like plus! ? Premium !? Or free !? Please help!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

I say use the XDA SuperPower app. it basically does what Juice Defender does, but it's much more simpler to configure and has most of the same features. Just search "XDA SuperPower app" on Google or the search bar. been using it for a couple of hours and it's been great with disabling and enabling my networks and whatnot.

Even if you keep bumping it, it doesnt make it in any less in wrong forum, or well, not very good question.

Firstly how did you come to that conclusion?
Secondly, how do you know that process isn't doing a lot of needed work? After all, Dalvik drains a huge amount of battery too. Without it though, the phone is pointless..

I have 0 but battery life is normal. Just because the bar is full, it doesn't even indicate that it took much power. You might have other factors to consider for the poor battery life.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Ive come to the conclusion because:
Once the process didnt show up and i had like double battery life.
The proceess also doesnt show up on every sgs, and ppl who got the process r also complaing about battery life (most of them)
I believe it has something to do with rootinga

Process 0 is a normal system process. Nothing to get worried about.

STOP BUMPING THIS! It's damned annoying.
Secondly, it may be caused by a broken application, or something else. The best way to learn more is to run proper tests. Remember, a few guys might "have this problem", but that doesn't mean the firmware is faulty. There are also people here who are saying that there is no GPS problem, and that Google Maps/MyTracks is faulty. Just because someone says something, doesn't mean it's accurate.
Process 0 may be sucking up your battery life, but if you want to solve the mystery, spend your time running tests to isolate what causes it, don't spend your time bumping a thread. .

Have you test to flash the rom after backing up your data ?
Maybe this could solve the problem !
Because bumping and bumping is simply useless !!
In fact, I have just tried. A full reflash, repartition on Odin using DXJPE firmware (latest SEA firmware).
Without rooting, or any apps being installed or any custom kernel, '0' process was seen active immediately after the first reboot.
Pretty much we can assume it is a designated Android process.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere 2.2.1 hides system processes like "0" in settings, they're still there, just not shown. You can see their stats in spare parts though/

Eg22 battery life

Could be me but it seem like the battery drains faster with this rom Is anyone else noticing this?

I'd say it's similar to the other gingerbread leaks. Nothing as great as SRF 1.2 for battery life yet that I have come across.
Froyo had source to optimize, but you still should get good battery, you did calibrate right?

10 hours since flashing and at 49% now. (Started at 100%) Pretty good if you ask me.
I am getting random reboots and force closes. This sucks. Don't know what's wrong.

Srf was good for me too, but the best battery life I have seen is with marcusant's i3 rom. Haven't tried the new leak yet. Probably wait til acs does their thing with it.

Did you restore data? I have used it all day and have not had one force close. Try to Odin again and if you restored data do it without restoring data.
RE: force closes, usually it means you restored apps or data that need to be reinstalled. If an app FCs, uninstall and reinstall it.
RE: battery life.
You can't make a judgement until you run a calibrate cycle and go through at least one charge cycle. Usually the first battery cycle on a new rom seems like really battery life, then things improve quickly. Since the rom has only been leaked for about 18 hours now I don't think anyone can give a useful opinion on battery life.

I just flashed from midnight 5.3 and everything is running a-ok here. Try wiping the unneeded files from your sd card and delete the default android files before reinserting your sd card into a newly flashed eg22 rom.

I flashed it at around 10am this morning, and with some pretty good, but not heavy use, I made it to about 6pm. When flashing this morning, I was around 92%. So yes, battery life is pretty good. Nothing will beat SRF, but now that I've tasted the gingerbread, I'm not sure I can go back to Froyo.
*Edit* Since being off the charger for 4 hours, and surfing the internet on both 3g and 4g, chatting on gtalk, multiple text messages, I'm at 76%. I'm impressed.

Glacier_One_v2.0 has been pretty great for me so far....
Well you have to remember that it's not just the rom, the kernel the rom uses also plays a big role in battery life. Also using apps like Juice Defender,etc. can affect battery life statistics being reported by other users.

IMO Juice defender sucks and so does most of those battery saver apps.They cause more problems than they are worth get a good battery like an anker and don't run a ****load of apps and try official cm7 or try applying governors like smartassv2 or similar that adjust itself while sleeping or maybe an app like setcpu and setup some profiles thats like i said IMO...Good Day!!!

[Q] Battery.

Just wondering if this seems right. I'm a pretty heavy user, and sometimes I have pretty good battery life, and then other times I'm charging twice a day. Running plain ole non rooted stock.

I have the same issue as you
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
Since you're rooted I would download Greenify from the play store if you haven't already and use that. It will help. Also GPS from Google Now gives a lot of wakelocks and drains the battery a decent amount. I would turn off your GPS whenever you're not using it.
I'm not rooted. And I do actually have GPS turned off. I also have a lot of things that I don't use disabled.
I want to root, but can't at the moment because of lack of computer..
My search for a computer less root option is a constant failure.

Frm the screen shot it seems you have background processes running(BBM n alarms). If you are always on 3g/wifi then the battery draining is normal. Or you can buy a new one for your satisfaction. Or charge it fully n dont use it just check for successive draining and if it drains within minutes then buy a new one.
Turn of features like google now and google location reporting. They consume hell lot of memory. Install greenify.
