Camping and battery life - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all. I am going camping for 5 days and I was wondering how I can get the best battery life out of my phone on 1 charge. (I won't have any electricity for 5 days)
I am currently using cnote's port of ice cold sandwich Rossi edition. I will be only using my phone for playing music and taking pictures. The phone will be in airplane mode for 5 days.
My question is if its good to idle it for 5 days in airplane mode or shut it down if it won't be used for more than 5 hours? Does it require more power when booting or does it consume less battery power when idling?
Thanks in advance.

The Indian's recommendation is good.
I would shut it off at night. Airplane mode will save LOTS of juice, but nothing saves power like being off for hours. Lol.
You might also consider one of those portable external chargers. They're pretty cheap.

I agree, about the portable chargers. That really helps out a lot when you need some power on the go

They have campsites with wi-fi? Daaaamn. I've got to find one of those.

Sorry for being brief, if you only need it for 5 hours of just listening to music and reading ebooks, any rom other than sense 4 and stock will serve you well. Underclock so CPU max is 700ish (thats all you need) and turn it off completely if you aren't using it. I also recommend buying an external battery from amazon. Anker makes nice big ones of like $20

I believe he meant there will periods of, maybe, 5 hours where he won't be using it and he wanted to know if it would be better to leave it on for those periods or turn it off.

Thank you very much for the feedback.
You guys rock.

I think I will be fine under clocking it and keeping it on airplane mode. I shouldn't need a charge.
I also am taking my nexus one, which already lasts like 6 days on airplane mode running miui v4.

I agree with external charger, will definitely come in handy.
ROM wise, any of them should be good, but its better to stay off ICS+.
GB is guaranteed stable for the Glacier, best battery life too.

Thank God sckboy and I aren't the only one's around here who think ICS has the best battery life.

Not that I'm not rocking JB right now, because I totally am. However, when I need stability, full functionality and battery life out that wazoo... Gingerbread.

My play music has been crashing and now I am upset that I can't use it at all. That was my main source of music. I can't even load it. Force closes as soon as I start it. I need to use the offline mode to save songs for camping.
I cleared cache. Set permissions and re flashed the newest gapp as well. Still crashing. Can't even load play music.
Oh well. Airdroiding songs to SD now.
I should flash cm 7 honestly but doesn't it take a couple of days for a new rom to normalize? I leave tomorrow and icecoldRossi is amazing battery life with frosted cherry now.

If you feel like your battery life with that is well enough, go for it then; just because everyone says cm7 will get you the best battery life, doesn't mean your phone will agree. Oh and the play music thing is an app problem.

Pretty much anything non-sense by TDJ. I swear everything I've gotten at least 3 days with use on every one of his roms/kernels.
I've even gotten 2 days on DARKSIDE sense. But it's always a good idea to keep an external charger if you're going to be gone for a while. Whenever I go on a business trip, even though I know that there will be available outlets, I always keep an external charger in case anything happens. Plus, it's always nice to not have to stick around a wall when you're charging your phone and have to use it at the same time.

Battery life.

I havehorrible batter life and it takes forever for this phone to charge and it overheats. I'm using the andromeda kernal and OC widget. Can someone tell me some settings I should use? Or tweaks or whatever? I'm talking non-commonsense stuff (not stuff like "turn 4g off")

Turn on Airplane mode and leave it on. Tell people to call you on the house phone. Your battery life will improve dramatically.

I usemy phone a lot. I was spoiled by my hero. I was getting days on a single charge with the same usage, if not, more. I wish I knew what's killing it so fast :/ spare prts says the screen is a majority of power consumption, but I usually have brightness on 0 (its plenty bright enough. It seems brighter than my hero at 50% ).

Cyanogenmod 7

Has anyone else noticed a significance in battery life?
I have an average of 56-60 hours my max idle was 81hrs....
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
I've gotten slight improvements, but what you're getting is insane... how'd you manage that?
I could never let my phone idle long enough to find out how many hours it would last. But I easily get a full day on cm7 with my regular use.
Only had it a day. But from where i've noticed holding the wildfire/aria next to each-other doing the same tasks with wifi on [ones got service, other doesnt yet] the wildfire was out to 80% in less than half an hour streaming music from pandora. Aria was at 95% with CM7 [even overclocked]. Although the wildfire is approx 3 months older, that seems amazing in my opinion.
Ultimate juice our even juice defender with power control plus..both have free and almost the exact same it's insane.
Anything to toggle data is recommend for battery life, but that's a given....

Just my 2 cents, A profiling tool for over/under clocking. Over for when your hard at work, playing videogames and whatnot. And underclock for when the device is serving 0% use. That seems something that should be implemented into android.

most custom roms, especially aosp ones, give you a much better battery life because they put the control into your hands; you can customize your phone to be used how you see fit.

Stock atrix battery life sucks!

I can't see how this is one of the biggest batteries out yet after a full nights charge and barely using the phone it needs to be charged again by the middle of the day! I'm tempted to put my sim card back in my iphone... If any one has suggestions I'm all ears.
Oh and I've tried to follow steps to root/unlock etc. but I get errors from the rsnlite 5.3.? installer that it can't install.

Dude, there are like three complete threads here with solutions to battery problems. Why did you create another one?
Two of them are in the very same section where you created this thread.
Solution to your battery life woes can be had by putting your sim back inyour iphone. The atrix and instructions to use this forum seem to be above your level of using technology. Btw, my battery life has been awesome.
I voided my warranty.
Dude seriously if you battery sucks its because you dont know how to use the phone properly i get 15-24 hours with heavy texting facebook and browsing you dont need to complain about somthing its your own issue creating another thread is useless post up on the others not here
Holy snot I in no way was bashing the phone but was venting my frustration in how complicated it seems to be to get the battery to last...
I also posted in the general section not QA where I knew I would get bashed.
Im on stock 2.3.4 and it seems like (due to not being able to install the 5.3 lite program) I'm stuck running stock rom and can't make changes needed you guys can.

If you aren't comfortable flashing a new rom and/or freezing system apps, give the "2x battery" app a try. It certainly is an improvement to the stock battery life.
I really want to flash one but the program I need to install on my cpu won't install... I keep getting error msgs and no one has been able to give me a solution why yet.
I used to have an htc fuze and flashed roms almost daily so I have the knowledge but my machine isn't cooperating with the needed download to unlock.
Ill try the 2x battery, thank you for the help.

Could not disagree more. On my stock Atrix, I was getting just over 2 days usage (not just leaving the phone on the table) pretty consistently. Rooted and GB rom now, am getting a day and a half but am probably just getting the battery and rom used to each other lol
I don't get it, I had 80% 2 hours ago then went to 70% powered off and on and now I have 80% again?

Freezing apps would definitely help. Especially is you use "System Panel" to find the culprits.
Although from what I've heard isn't stock supposed to have better battery life than the custom ROMS?...

Nexus S kills the batteries

Hello
My friend have a Nexus S (9020A) the problem is when the battery dies it's impossible to charge the phone, it won't turn on! I have tried with a lot of batteries now and it kills all of them! it works like normal when you don't let the battery die completely but it should not do this anyway, what is wrong?
I think I know what your talking about.
The phone consumes more power than it receives when its using data. Do if your at 5% and charging, but also using the internet. You will last for mere minutes.
Best thing to do is to simply let it charge and not touch it when its doing so. You can still hotspot,text talk. But streaming music, data apps (like tapatalk or skype) and web browser WILL KILL YOUR BATTERY WHILE YOU CHARGE.
But if your saying it won't charge. Sorry. No idea

If you turn the phone off and then try to charge it with the battery in, you're not able to charge it?

no, the phone kills the batteries, I would have test the batteries on other phone if I had, but atm I just have the Nexus S, it won't let me charge the batteries when they are dead.. if there is 1% left I can charge but when it dies it's dead forever... there must be something wrong with the phone, right?

The phone should shut down automatically when the voltage reaches a certain threshold. Is the phone not doing this? These batteries are not meant to drop below a certain voltage and doing so could damage them.

This is so insanely inaccurate. Using the hotspot is one of the most battery intensive operations the phone can carry out. Streaming music, Skype, and browsing don't even hold a candle to it. The only thing that comes close would be navigation (and that can be even worse sometimes), followed by talking on the phone by a pretty decent, but not massive margin. It also depends on the charger. Where do you get your information?
Sent from my PG41200 using Tapatalk
if the phone is doing the same with all type of ROMS, then it may be hardware related issue.
I have been running various Roms since the start but never faced this issue. A lot of times battery has drained fully. With some of the new roms that are there my phone lasts more than a day with Data on Roaming full time.
I know most phone batteries will not be chargeable if you deplete them completely. Usually this happens by throwin it in the drawer and not using it for a long time but ive never heard of it happening just by using the phone. Id say its definitely a hardware issue

I am using Dark Unicorn 2.5.
I was on CM7 for a few weeks, but the ROM was really slow and everything lagged. For instance, when I turned on the screen and unlocked, it took it roughly 5-10 seconds to respond before I could do anything. Other features didn't work, including the Market. I read over 100 posts about this Market issue, and couldn't resolve it. It led me to Dark Unicorn.
Dark Unicorn is insane amazing. Everything works (except720p recording). I have had no bootloops, no random shutoffs, nothing. I am trying to kill the battery as we speak and I cant! I just had the screen on full bright ON all the time, wireless, GPS, bluetooth, and music on for the last 2 hours and it only dropped 20%. I left it on all night with the screen off, 100% charge and it was still 100% in the morning. That includes the Data + Sync being on. On top of it all, I have it clocked at 1.2 right now.
I am thoroughly impressed with this ROM. I cannot gripe because I appreciate the developers work, however, if I had to have one complaint it's that there is no option to turn of haptic feedback for the screen off and on slide. I have disabled it all across the phone, but when unlocking it vibrates.
For anyone who cares, I am using the MDJ Kernel as well.
:good:
Nice I'll try that ROM again! Last time I had some CPU problems, but that was all my fault lol.

What would be the largest battery for this phone. Right now I'm using the one I got with the phone. On the box it says the battery is 1500mAh, and on the battery it says it's 1400mAh. But what is the largest battery in mAh. And would a anker battery be better even though it's the same mAh? And can someone find me a link
Well... I got another question. People say royal ginger gets them Lots if battery life

There are "oversized" batteries but you have to take off the rear metal plate and you can't use cases designed for the OE phone size specs. The largest I think I've seen was something like 3500 mAh (again, no rear metal plate to hold battery in but they come with an extra one that's extended and holds the larger battery in otherwise it would fall out), largest that actually fits inside the phone was like 1600 mAh. Perfect for playing Ingress but terrible for using as a daily driver.

Deal Extreme does for sure. Only problem is that it's sold out/back order at the moment.

I think you mentioned in another thread that you were looking for a battery for the MT4G slide? They have this one for the slide, not sure if it's compatible but probably not http://dx.com/p/high-capacity-3600m...er-for-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-slide-khaki-143953
