Funny Fact about battery stats on gsmarena - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

I had my ideos for nearly a year now (since they came out pretty much.. and XDA u8800 forum was brand spanking new.. anyways today I was comparing it with some more high end devices etc.. and I noticed this on GSM Arena it says
Battery Standard battery, Li-Po 1500 mAh
Stand-by Up to 380 h (2G) / Up to 440 h (3G)
Talk time Up to 8 h 20 min (2G) / Up to 6 h 40 min (3G)
Aside from the fact that those figures.. ARE A JOKE.. what is more funny and more of a joke is.. that it says in 2G the battery will last 380 hours and in 3G it will last for 440 hours.. That is 60 more hours.. but in Android settings, as far as I know.. it says 2G SAVES BATTERY! (and to my understanding.. it makes sense)
Just a funny fact I noticed.. thought I would share.

lol i noticed that, and shared it on facebook as soon as i got my X5 )
it was funny and shocking )

Lol...but why not? You know... it's Huawei

But huawei is great dude!

Yes, especially their aftersale support. Now I mean still beta version upgrade to 2.3 on IDEOS X5 Comic.

Yeah.. they instead concentrate on new products only.. no aftersales.. but hey, if you hang around xda and install custom roms etc.. you can have a pretty great device.. for cheap.

It's also like that on a lot of HTC smartphones. 3G standby is good, but then you need ideal signal and not enable data.
Otherwise it's better to use 2G.
So it's possible...

Are those data official?
I've heard about those data are tested in lab environment, not in daily usage environment.
My longest daily usage time is 4 days and 4.5 hours (100 hours), in those days
- turn Power Saving Mode on
- use 2G only
- phone calls for about 1 hour
- turn WiFi on for a while to surf web, play tiny games

Not sure if they are official or not.. but on the official website there are no such figures:

@lovetide: What ROM is that?

I only use official ROM, rooted, and remove some applications.
The screenshot was taken at 2012-01-30, ROM version should be B522.

Wow UMTS on the universal

I finally got Orange UMTS and the speed is great. (didn't expect that) but after a day of playing around my battery was near dead. So plugin and voila. I heard about the stories that the battery drains faster but ....not that fast.
I have the qtek now with my for 10 houres on a normal working day and i browsed the internet for 15 min and some wifi action for 15 min. And my battery dropped from 89% to 31% in 10 houres!!. First i just had gprs and activesync off and one day was like 15%. That a huge differnce. So i talked to a guy with a nokia phone (knowing that my previous nokia n9500 could go one with a battery for 2 weeks with some wifi action) and he told me his phone can take 1,5 days with umts on.
Well knowing that i need a solution here.
Switching back fort is nice but is there a simple point and click just like wifi switchting ?
Is a update to a newer radio rom 1.15 (now have 1.09) better for the battery?
Or should i just by a 3200 Mah battery and modify my krussel case?

htc Nexus One battery for htc HD2 ?

good day all
any idea if we can fit the 1400mah battery of Nexus One on our htc HD2 ? does both batteries have same physical size ?
can anyone confirm ?
I doubt it, but it's not just size thats the problem. You need to look at the specs for each one; see what voltage and ampage each one puts out. The Nexus One battery could very well fry the HD2's components, or fail to power them.
Hmmmm
I was thinking the same thing when is saw this
http://news.softpedia.com/newsImage/Unboxing-Photos-of-Nexus-One-by-HTC-Available-11.jpg/
You still get alot more out of the HD2 (taken from gsmarena.com)
HD2
Standard battery, Li-Ion 1230 mAh
Stand-by Up to 490 h (2G) / Up to 390 h (3G)
Talk time Up to 6 h 20 min (2G) / Up to 5 h 40 min (3G)

Stand-by Up to 290 h (2G) / Up to 250 h (3G)
Talk time Up to 10 hours (2G) / Up to 7 hours (3G)
come to think of it talk time is crap on the HD2

I think someone was being VERY over optimistic when they wrote the specs for the HD2 battery
Standby 490 hours? over 20 days???...yeah right!!!
I went away recently, and as a test turned flight mode on (no signal at all), charged battery to 100% and left it...result..flat battery in 8 days...with nothing being used. so I can't see how 20 days standby would EVER be available

That is fooked up man, how can they advertise 20days standby and it only gives 8..!! what level of standby do they mean, OFF lol..!! they say 490 on GSM and u only got around 192 in flight mode, so not even GSM..!!!!
isnt there some kind of advertising law??

Very brave of you that you wanted to do this test and accept the fact that you would not be able to use your HD2 for 8 days
I can't live without mine for a single day !!

I had never ever believed battery figures because they never tell the truth, thats why I want to know if the battery physically fits so that I test it by my self and see if its better than hd2 battery
The battery in from the nexus has a different aspect ratio to the hd2 battery. Not a chance of it fitting.

are you really sure about this ?
from the picture of Nexus one battery, it seems more like hd2 battery. thats why there is a chance that it will fits
Look at the tabs/indents on the bottom of the battery and compare it to the HD2. Different shape and different fitting. Forget this idea, the N1 battery is not gonna fit in an HD2.

Battery test

well i decided to give my phone a break and left it on minimum usage for almost 4 days now, other than some calls here and there, a bout of angry birds and checking mail via gprs and wifi.
after 4 days battery level is at 51%, (using battery indicator pro) and this is quite impressive considering my minimum usage and now am wondering how long it will go. 8days? maybe?
this is on stock JPY...no root or lag fixes.
Interesting,
Battery Standard battery, Li-Ion 1500 mAh
Stand-by Up to 750 h (2G) / Up to 576 h (3G)
Talk time Up to 13 h 30 min (2G) / Up to 6 h 30 min (3G)
thats the offical line in the specs

Hehe, I didn't do reallife tests, but assume without usage you can make over 20 days I used to have my phone on standby for about 30h, data,wifi off, 2G only,and lost 4%, that extrapolates to about 30days on standby?

[Q] battery life

Hi everyone.
I have a4 months old Huawei X5.
I think my battery life is reduced, especially for a mobile phone with only a couple of months, but I'd like your opinion
I remove it from the charger at 7.30am, and during the day, Wi-Fi and 3g are always always on, but not much use, and a few calls, 3-4 minutes a day
Then I use it a bit more in the end of my working day - but battery is down by 10 or 11pm...
Do you think this is reasonable?
I'm on Aurora 3.1 ROM, but with stock ROM it's very similar
try this: http://androidadvices.com/calibrate-android-mobile-phone-battery/
or this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
or this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.ynfo.batteryrepair
i can confirm that last one works. it helped me when i was on .32 kernel, but ever since upgrade it doesn't any more -.-

perfectly normal with 3g on.
i have 2 days of battery with 3g on always...
hmarques i have your kind of use but first if u dont use facebook delete the app... it drains to much battery and second if u have wifi always on but its disconected maybe trying to find wifi available drains a bit the battery...
I already deleted Facebook app, and that one is really bad for sure
Sent from my U8800 using XDA
If I unplug my phone at 4pm I would get to 20% at 2-3 pm the next day (play some games about 20 minutes, 3g wifi on only when I want to connect to the Internet, surfs some pages, some sms and calls).

Battery performance, a joke?

Hi there.
I was reviewing Samsung's published specs about the Galaxy Note and they say:
http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/galaxy-note/GT-N7000ZBJXSA-spec
Batteryspec view Battery data Standard Capacity 2,500mAh
Talk Time Up to 1,570 minutes (2G), Up to 810 minutes (3G)
Stand-by Time Up to 960 hours (2G), Up to 820 hours (3G)
OMFG!! They must be kidding. I can barely survive a day and they claim 800+ hours of stand-by battery? That's more than a month!!
I tried CM9 and Paranoid 0.2. I loved them because they came without Samsungs bloatware and you could activate the tablet mode. I really loved them but battery life was poor so now I am trying Casie's Xtralite ROM (supposed to be a fork from the original ROM without unnecesary apps...
In the best case I can make 2 days of usage, turning off communications, setting max CPU at 800MHz (yes, 800MHz) and so on.
I use 'battery drain' to keep track of the battery drainage and it looks as if 1.5%/hr is the lowest value I can get.
Can you guys recommend me what the best ROM is for my purpose? At this time I don't care if it's ICS or GB...
Thank you in advance.
The point of those factory figures is that the phone is being used for absolutely zero, except waiting for a call. While I tend to doubt them too, I get quite a lot better than 1.5%/hr drain. I put my phone in airplane mode for the night, and while I haven't been precise about checking this, I don't think I lose more than 2% through the night.
Have you installed CPU Spy? Does your unit go into deep sleep?
Calm down! You are ruining the queens jubilee lol
And on a serious note *get it * I think something may be wrong with your phone, look at my attachment, that is with constant on and off use, with still 50% left so not to sure what is wrong with your phone, maybe its not hitting the deep sleep state. All the times in the attachment where the screen was off but phone was awake is when I was driving and left the wifi on, strange though because surely it shouldn't be like this.
When in deep sleep, GPS OFF, WiFi OFF, bluetooth OFF, data OFF, no data traffic at all, no calls, no SMS, 4 bars phone signal, I've seen it drop less than 5% a day. So it could last two weeks. One month is difficult to test.
Any activity on the phone, even moving from one place to the other (it has to discover and switch cell towers), consumes battery. Areas with weak phone signal make the phone use more power to try to communicate with the cell tower.
Look at the right of the picture below, completly flat. Even with 3G and WiFi enabled, if you have good signal and are not receiving data, it does not drop more than 1% in 3 hours. You could have the phone in that state for days.

Those Specs may differ with a "real usage" of the Phone. I bet they just kept it for a couple of minutes without a SIM and did the Math to say its 960 Hours. Maybe they really did it, but that doesn't prove anything.
I have 0% Battery Drain - When I don't have a SIM inside, Inside an Air conditioned Environment, Without any apps, and Not picking up the Phone even to unlock it.
Performance may vary depending on the geographic location, Network Operator, Network Mode (2G,3G) Environment Temperature, Accessories used, Applications Installed and I can go on...
Dont fall for the Spec sheets and reports, Do a dry run on your own.
As for the Rom Experience, GB 2.3.6. XXLC1 with SpeedMod Kernel was the Best Rom with the Longest Battery Life.
I get usually 3 days with normal phone use and over 12 hours of talk time on a full charge - so nope, not a joke.
Why is my phone not going into deep sleep? Some days it does, some days it doesn't. Now a days, it regularly doesnt.
Upgraded to ICS and stock ROM.

That's the wakelock problem. Perform a search, there are already threads concerning this issue.
Some guy on xda said if you dont use the offical charger and cable it stops the note from going into deep sleep, he said if you use an unofficial one, just reboot the phone and it will deep sleep ok, as long as you only use the offical stuff.
I dont know how true this is.
I never have used the official charger and cable and mine is asleep all the time.
John.
I envy you guys, for me i think ICS consumes more power than Gingerbread with the same apps and the same services that i have always had.
I don`t come near what some of you guys (screenshots) get on a full charge, and unless i turn off all services and syncs i will get those numbers.
Running RocketRom 4.1 with Franco kernel R5.
Someone will buy Galaxy Note for just lying on the table and waiting for a call over a month?
