40+hour club screen shot include set-up

I had 40 hours of evo use today n still had 18 percent battery....accidentally plugged in phone before snapping a screen shot but if anyone else has accomplished this please post a screen shot and include your rom,kernal,radio and any apps that may have helped you reach these numbers....also if u get over 30 post a screenie and description ...anything will be great...let's what u guys can get!! Competition begins now
I have cyanogen nightly 7/27/10 with stock kernal and newest radio....phone was used moderately with activesync set for every 3 hours for gmail only ....only app I used was app manager with auto kill off n maybe every hour or so I would kill certain apps and system processes ...

I havent rooted my Phone yet, waiting for my Seidio protection to come in , atm im 42% and 25 hours. ill prolly snap a picture with my camera tonight when get home since i cant use shoot me.

Have done over 48 hours on stock rom, it's not a big deal...just depends how much you use it. I can kill the phone in as fast as 5 hours and I can make it last as long as 2 days. I think alot of people are starting to see better battery life simply because the newness has worn off and they are using it much less now.

You do not describe moderate usage. You're describing the lack of use.

Shouldnt this "club" be renamed to "Those unpopular and basement dwellers which nobody calls or texts"

When I saw the title I thought the OP had made a slideshow of screenshots in a club for 40+ hours like a stop-motion video.

I'm one of those! Unfortunately my phone is more of a mobile PC to me so I burn the **** out of my battery. Just got my 3600 battery though. Loving it. All said, I was already in the 2 day club when I didn't use my phone. Only improved from that these days with some undervolting ans setcpu.

I can sit my phone on my desk and not do anything for 40 hrs also..
I mean no offense but these topics are so old..
Bottom line if you get 40 hrs on a battery then you don't use the phone.
For those of us who actually use our phone we KNOW 40 hrs isn't possible!!
But yeah I'm sure it was 'moderate' use.

Hahaha! Totally. I'm happy if I get 15 hours a day. I am always on the phone.

You guys might as well put the phones in Airplane Mode and double those 40 hours. These "competitions" and "tests" are useless in any real-world scenario.

lol +1 Thats funny sorry.
I am a heavy user myself and i am happy if i make it from the time i wake up till i get home from work so i can charge it again. Normally do on most days. thats maybe 10 hours. If anything people should compete on how many up hours they can have on it but even then if you just have the screen on and arent running anything it doesnt drain THAT much.
Anyway glad you got 40 hours in a ...... day. its still ncie to hear people are excited about there battery life!

I used my phone a lot for texting, world war, pocket empires, listening to music, and about 30 minutes of calls a day since I'm in class and work most of the time. My battery lasts 20+ hours. Let the OP breathe a little. If it doesn't concern you then don't come and thread jack to increase your post count. Let us be happy with the life we are getting even though we don't use it as much as YOU do.
It has nothing to do with how popular you are. I send about 5000+ text a month along with emails but don't use my phone a lot. That probably means I'm not popular I guess right?
Back on topic: What settings are you using? Are you using SetCPU? What ROM? Post your settings!

I was using setcpu but on the cyanogen nightlys it seemed like it was killing the battery really bad in some peoples perspective...so I uninstalled it and just used task manager...

Some KB5 Tweaks I've Noticed

-MUCH improved battery life..55% left with about 23 hours after unplugging..wifi was on and played a good amount of angry birds (light to moderate use otherwise)
-brought back notification bar brightness adjustment thingy
-charges MUCH faster as well
-wifi doesn't crash
-no noticeable performance changes
-media scanning seems to be faster
Might edit this post later...just a little info for those updating.. :|

your just turning your phone on to check time or something, thats just not possible.
I can get 15 hours max, i've gotten 20 but with the minimalest use ever.
I have no data plan, so i use wifi all the time, and even with that, i dont get that kind of battery life, your just ****ing with me bud.

I'm not...serious about that.results may vary anyway. My brightness wasn't really too high. I would have
Capped, but I'm not rooted and my camera is pretty bad.

NO NO NO NO.

Camera being bad has nothing to do with battery life.

i'm sorry if i sound rude, but i just hate it when people OVER- say what they actually want to say.
23 hours and 55% left is just dumb. That would mean that you'd get 2 days worth of battery.
Either your battery's filled with magical unicorns that auto-refill your charges, or your lying.

I get 30 hours of use easy--I'm on it all the time.

You can get 24+ hours just on overstock + trigger.
Beleive it or not, once when I left to work, I had 9% battery and I was like !!, so i turned off wifi, data, sync. and sed phone just to check for msgs etc and maybe 1 call.
When I got back home after ~9 hrs, I had 5% battery and I was pretty amazed. True story, take it or leave it.

I m on KB1 and right now 17hours on %52. So it is possible but it all depends on the usage.

The problem with people posting their drain times is that light use for you and me might be considered heavy use by the OP. With that said, if you properly want to tell people how good your battery is, post your screen on time. At least that gives an idea as to how good your battery is in comparison to something we can also measure.

the DEFAULT settings for battery usage is the most inaccurate.
Use another app from the market, that shows like a line graph of when you charged etc.
I have MIUI, so i know my battery life is horrible.

What other improvements...
Other than battery life what other improvements did this update bring. When I updated my wife's phone to 2.2 she said it was crap. Visual voice mail did not work properly which was a big deal to her.
Did this update have any other improvements?

Well not really other than the OP. No real overall performance changes. Just about as fast or slow as froyo depending on what you think about it.

If you literally do nothing on it (other than leave it on), a fairly new battery will drain slower than that. Mine will last a couple days if all I do is turn the screen on to check the time.

After I put 2.2 on my phone I noticed that vvm kept running in the background and was draining the battery. Was this fixed?

I have to concur with the posting, I forgot to plug in my phone yesterday so when I got up this morning it had been 27 hours since I last plugged in and I was at 56% left according to my battery widget running Bi-Winning with overstock version1.4, I got to say this much improved battery life surprised me. i do not have my screen @ 45% I run @ 60% bright
I get faster data transfer as well. So this is all good...... Too bad Samsung took 8 Months to figure out how to code a decent modem......

Battery life's non to fancy

I thought with a battery this big there wouldn't be much of an issue but if you push this phone it won't last the day.
I have screen set to auto, manual sync, data off, wifi off, gps off and here's how I got on today.
6am Of charger and 5mins checking email twitter then wifi off
7 hrs radio and music player,
Then through out the course of the evening I checked emails etc again for a max of 15 mins.
Phone turned of at 8pm so thats 14hrs but that was 14hrs with everything turned off and not really using the phone, my Desire S I used the same way and at this stage of the evening it still had well over a 3rd of battery left almost half. I installed Juice Defender yesterday and it made no difference.
Is this type of battery life normal for this phone?

A lot of battery related threads are there pal,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Just keep in mind that if you are getting around 5/5½ hours screen on time then you are fine, just fine. Forget about days. And JD will do no good if it doesn't do any bad.
Regards.

Keep in mind I am using Ninphetamine 2.0.2 kernel with villain rom 2.4.2, juicedefender, and did a proper, full battery calibration.
Today I played about 2h of games, listened to music for about 3h, and then did random things like checking email, downloading apps from market etc. I have only Wifi and autorotation always enabled. It's been about 12 hours since I unplugged it, and I am at 83% of my battery life. Looks like I won't have to charge it for 4-5 days using it regularly.

That's about as good as I've managed, but that's with it basically being still, only sending a few text messages. Don't think it'd have managed that long with music/game playing added in.

If he had mobile data and the phone turned off and just on wifi that's doable.
Listening to music with the screen off is a pretty low consumption scenario, cos the cpu will hit 200mhz and the dps' will be doing most of the work.
And considering that the screen and the mobile data connection are #1 and #2 users of power!
Doable but still maybe a slight exaggeration.
The phone has a very low idle draw though, so when its just sitting there not doing anything in deep sleep, you know you wont find your battery dead which is good.

Do people really not have access to chargers in a 12-24hr period? I don't get this whole batt life issue. Yeah,they suck, but seriously, who can't plug their phone in for 20-30mins a couple times a day?
oh and I deft call BS on not having to charge for four days. Never going to happen. Even if you dont touch your phone at all for four days. Still won't happen.

GingerBattery Sucks?

I dunno man, just gingerbread itself appears to have fubared my phone. I wiped sd, wiped phone, factory reset, odined stock EC05 and took the forced EI22 update. Even still, android system chews through battery at >90%. A small thermonuclear power plant could not give my phone enough juice.
This coming after I tried multiple combinations of roms, kernels, uninstalling apps, and freezing data sucking apps that caused high wake locks....
I have tried stock gingerBreadEI22, ACS 3.5 - 5.5, ERA RC1 & 2, and Random Rom, with nubernel, different samurai kernels, and just whatever the chef cooked up. All the same, excessively high "system" battery usage.
Anyone is / was having the same issues and able to iron it out?

That reading for system is the norm. I get 24 hours with like 80%
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I agree with Alkah0liK, but with my experience so far, if I don't use the phone all day it doesn't really use the battery, but as soon as I start talking, listen to music, or web surf it because a pig. I actually want to go back to 2.2 and use frozen rom again from ACS again. Can't figure out how yet though

Ok thanks, I was wondering what others were seeing.
I must be doing something it does not like. I can go a couple minutes with the screen on (at lowest setting mind you) and watch the battery drop 2-3% or more, almost dead battery within 10 - 12 hours even in /out of airplane mode...
Is there something really wonky with CWM? Funny thing is this started happening right about the time i switched over to v5. I am in the process of reverting back to wiping everything, odin to EC05, and going v3.1.01 again.

The battery life is better with gingerbread, but its not going to make your phone run 2-3 days on one battery life. Sorry my friend, those days are long gone. It would be very hard to find any cell phone that can run for longer than 24 hours these days.

No I get that, but I was able to use my phone for more than a couple hours a day before gingerbread. B4 the leaks I was running Viper Rom EXT4 with genocide at 1200 ondemand and still getting through the day. If I cut it back to 1000 and went easy I was only charging overnight to bump it back up to full.
I was even using RandomKing's and ERA's leak based roms with EH06 & EH17 without any issue. For me it really has been either the EI22 / CWM5 / latest roms.

Hey alky, I was also in your position. I tried every rom you tried, with minimal pleasing. My advice, if you can live without 4g, flash the current cyanogen and set the render effect on night mode. Enjoy a thorough battery life my friend. Nothing beats it thus far. Can't wait till we see cm9.

Thanks! That was actually going to be my next try. I only get 4G when I am downtown, not very much as of late anyway.
FYI- I have found what I suspect as two possible culprits on ACS 5.1 & 5.5, and ERA RC1 & 2. According to better battery stats CM_VnoteService and *Sync for GTalk will run and run and run unless you open the applications and go through initial setup. Those two process will stay stopped so long as I leave them open / connected, once I close them - the partial wakelocks restart and run until you open the apps again (or just uninstall).
Even with my obsessively high amount of .acore launcher time and better batter stats application usage, they are still well below the "system" usage under the process dropdown.

It definately sips battery when not in use. Although I feel I get more screen on time with ACS ICS. I regularly have over 3 hours of screen on time with GB, I don't remember getting 3 hours on even SRF 1.2.

Turn off your syncs. If there is no signal your syncs will keep trying and burn up your battery. Turning off data mode in low to no signal areas will conserve battery.

Make sure upgrading to GB did not change any syncs. Also make sure new apps aren't loading into memory and sucking battery like Talk or Google +. Grab Memory Booster lite and pull up the task killer to see everything loading on your phone. The stock task killer sucks.

I recommend paying the $50 for battery and portable charger/storage unit. I'm a stock user who just had 41 hours with my new battery with 2hrs of screen time. I really like having two batteries too. No more charging cords connected to the phone...ever
Edit: the batt. I bought was a stock 1500mah batt. and charger kit from a sprint store. No regrets

The battery life is better with gingerbread, but its not going to make your phone run 2-3 days on one battery life. Sorry my friend, those days are long gone. It would be very hard to find any cell phone that can run for longer than 24 hours these days.

Still running 100% ERA Legendary v4.0.1 (with provided kernel) and I squeezed ~74 hours of pure standby time out of my stock battery.
Data Sync (FB every 6hrs, Weather every 2hrs, Google push)/GPS/Auto Brightness = on
TWS = 4%
Display Time = ~24mins (sent 3 texts and checked 1 voicemail)
100% on 3G
Had I turned off all synching, GPS and lowered brightness all the way, I would have probably gotten 4 days.

Battery life has heavily depended on the strength of signal for me as well. I moved recently and have been living in the basement while the renovations are going on upstairs. No airave (it is used at a different location) means little to no signal in a brick house due to Sprint's POS signal frequency. Although I've been flashing different kernels and maybe not allowing them to settle + undervoling a bit (very conservatively, will not OC over 1100). But it is true that since days I was on BB Tour, not one phone lasted a full day without an extended battery. I'm pretty much decided on VZW switch once Prime comes out - one of the factors is better expected power management of ICS and possibility of adding an extended battery without worrying about making the phone too bulky (given how thin it is).

Man that sucks, I've always had great battery with gingerbread. Right now I'm on RC2

how bad is the battery life? about the same as the GB roms?

Only issues i have seen is random FC on launcher and gallery, and the mic mute/unmute workaround for calls
IMO its good enough to remove the Beta tag though

How do you change the oc settings?

I suggest you use Voltage Control.

worse for some (like me) where for whatever reason our phones wont go into deep sleep mode. not everyone has the problem though, so you might get lucky.
I don't even remember how good/bad life was back on bionix 1.3.1, but if you aren't at a desk job where you can charge your phone for a chunk of the day, you may not see 8 hours.

mic problem here, but no FC.

I dont know, been running it for two days, and have reflashed it twice and still have fc on launcher, and browser. Maybe it will smooth out this time. Maybe not.

From V7 and I upgraded to V8 and it is awesome!
Only issue I have is when I receive calls, other end cannot hear clearly(Mute/Unmute should work...)
And screen rotate is little slow from CM7 Gingerbread but no complain. I'm hoping it will be better and better with new version.
Only big problem I have is, my Samsung Original Desk Dock and Car Dock sound won't route. Oh, my battery charging indicate is not working sometime. It is charging but indicator won't show. Atleast it is charging...
So far I love Passion ICS v8!

I love this rom!!! but I hate having to deal with incoming calls, having to hit mute and unmute just to have my phone act like a phone. I hope this gets fixed on the next update.

Guys, if you have bad batt life on ics passion, make sure you have gb bootloaders.. i have Great batt life, better than cm7 because my phone deep sleeps.. last time i checked cpu spy, i had 83% deep sleep rofl, 13 hours on batt, 3 of those screen on and id gone from 80% ->20%

Yes sir, I was reading in one of the i9000 ICS threads (can't remember which) where it was stated by the dev that GB bootloaders were needed for deep sleep, not just to get rid of rainbows.

Stability comes with updated phones meant for running the roms we keep chasing :-/
Yes you can say I'm in the wrong forum blah blah....but I have no interest in this phone and will eventually get another vibrant to run stock 2.2 I'm running 2.3.5 and its no better than 2.2 lol.
But the vibrant is much better in every way......oh and the "4g" ain't **** and I live in Orlando city limits

Decided to go back to Bionix 1.3.2 for now.
I love the whole ICS layout and it was zipping along when working.
The FC decreased with each update, but the mic issue forced me to switch back for now.
Mic issue affected me mostly when receiving calls. When this is fixed, I'll try it again.

I get Force Closes only on Gallery and sometimes my app menu will close but other than that have found no real problems..
I have noticed downloading seems to be a bit slower than CM7, but it's still fast enough for me.
The other little thing i've noticed is that it takes a little while to install apps... I don't know if thats to due with ICS on our phones, passion, or what... but again I can deal fine with that it's not a big deal.
As for battery, I came from CM7 so it had the GB Bootloader... but until I completely drained the battery, and charged it to 100% then recalibrated, killed it one more time then charged back to 100%..
So far I have 14 hours and 18 minutes on this charge, battery is still at 56%. Usage is light, web, messaging, phone calls, and I played one game of Drag Racing... My battery is from July 2010 so it's not a new battery either. \
Calibrating your battery really will make a difference.

I also went back to bionix due to the incoming call mute and unmute. It was really pissing me off. I hope it will get fixed soon. I love everything else about the rom.

Ics passion v10 has very nice battery timining

Great battery on v10, had one launcher freeze. The only remaining issue with mine is an 8GB external SD (2GB mounts just fine).
I think I used the phone for at least 8 hours straight since v10 came out.

Ill stick to team toxic until this hits a solid final, that mute issue would drive me bonkers lol
