How to increase battery life 200%!

Hi, i stumbled across something.
Normally my fully charged X8 lasts about a day (I charge it every night)
I was at this friends house and forgot my charger, so i borrowed his HTC charger. This resulted in a battery that lasted twice as long! I tried it a few times and there is a real difference between the 2 chargers.

actually I've lost my charger and always charging with htc charger(my brother's) so anyway charging every night.. and htc charger can't charge battery till 2400 mah

My battery lasts 3 days im using wi fi ever day and some games. Charged with stock charger

around 2 days with a lil Angry Birds + wifi + facebook + web browser
last time I'm doing my experiment with very low usage, I got six days!

Wao, is it possible??...I though only classic phone can make 6 days per charge.

I told you. very low usage. FYI that was FroyoBread. very good battery life

He said "very low usage".

No wonder, I am using gingerdx v10 and my battery life only last for 1 days.
x8 with gingerdx v10, [email protected], fast reboot, AMM and Go Launcher.
Thanks doixanh!!!

what is AMM

Auto memory manager. And yea.. On gingerDX I get no battery drain if phone is idle for around 2-4 hours.

My battery lasts about 2-3 weeks
i only turn on the phone when i need to make a call, like a bawss..

FroyoBread, eh? I use that too.. My battery lifetime sucks balls but i guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

My battery life s*cks. I have to calibrate the battery and do some improvements (like use "Battery Doctor to save battery" app)
I think the charger doesn't make difference because the battery as a limit, and the charger charges the phone to that limit =D xD watch out, don't use chargers with different voltage and amperage, if you use one with more than the stock charger you probably will burn out your battery xD

I using GingerDx v010 and i have to charge it every day...2 times!!!But i think i use it a little too much!
Could the charger make that difference???I think no.

Any chance it would work on other phones such x10 ? Because for us it isnt so good battery life :/

Did you close wifi/3g/bt when you don't use them? Close them will increase your battery life.

Sometimes ROM doesn't affect battery life, affecting battery life is your own habit.
As doixanh said (the dev that make GingerDX), reboot phone after listen to music, etc. I wish i could help you.

every one that wants longer battery life, download SuperDim from the market. My battery lasts 2-4 days depending on usage using Floyo .30

battery life

Just thought I'd give a quick review of Cyanogen Mod 7 battery life and performance.
Standby battery drain of about 1.5%/hr with 3G, backround data on, auto-sync on, wifi on, GPS on.
I've never obtained such great battery life on any stock rom or stock-modified rom (I've tried a few different ones over the last year or so)
The performance is also much better than any of the stock-based roms (no lags).

No need to create new topic for that information.

fan/zombie boys everywhere
aple has ones so why not android ;]

Which nightly are you using? Which kernel?

After a night my Galaxy S is always dead. I solved the problem disabling 3g connection and sync. Stock rom 2.3.3 and semaphore kernel.

Sorry to say but useless thread. Just keep the damn charger always near you and battery life wont matter.
Btw did cyanogen pay you for posting this?or........

haha I had the same thought

I used to always hear about CM7 having god-awful battery life. I don't know if people were lying or if they fixed some major bugs, but I certainly have no complaints about my phone's battery life (running CM7, of course). I get through way more than a day.

That's my current battery stats. Haven't used the phone too much the last little while, but getting over 24 hours is not uncommon—I actually very rarely see my phone last for under 24 hours, and that's usually because of 5+ hours of screen on time. For that battery, I'd say about 75 texts, 30 minutes of phone calls, and about 30-60 minutes of web browsing. Fairly light use, but nevertheless, the battery life on CM7 is nothing to complain about.
EDIT: Looks like something was causing a wakelock the last ~6-8 hours while I was asleep, causing my phone not to deep sleep. If that hadn't of happened, it would still have quite a bit more battery (when I went to bed it was 44%, so it shouldn't have dropped to 27%—it should have dropped to ~40%). This just proves my point even more: battery life on CM7 is not bad at all.

seriusly?
do you see any battery change in that period compared to one earlier ))
when it was awake on your funny screenshot it was discharging with the same when the phone was not awake acordding to that stats so no impact registered

Thanks to share that information...

Best battery life that I've seen, using cm7.1 stable.
Currently at 2 days 1hr 15 mins with 14% remaining.
Wipes the floor with friends phones on stock roms charging every night. I only switched toCM7 after darkyrom barely lasting 12 hours at times

This sounds fantastic, Cm7.1 is my next choice, on XXJVT battery life is only 12h

thats using juicedefender to activate the data connection when screen turns on, emails still push to phone straight away with gmail so it is fine for me.
WIFI seems to drain the battery a bit quicker but not enough for me to bother flashing different kernels

I saw someone who did 2 WEEKS without charging. Normal using with black wallpaper on 2g network.

seems to be even better on ics... the best i had was ~2% per 8 hours...

3G + WiFi + email max 1 day

ICS battery life

Getting some great battery life on evervolv's ICS rom. Anyone else getting similar performance?
EDIT: Today im at 50% with 12 hours use... some tiny tower, about 20 mins of phone calls, gmail, google voice, and facebook sync

wow.. good for u.. my nexus one only last for about 15 hours.. btw, i'm using the medroidmod ics 1.4.0..

That's good. Might be a glitch though if your battery is not calibrated. I had an issue when my N1 was showing over 20% and then shut off. When I turned it back on, it showed 0% and turned itself off. Try to discharge it all the way and see it if will shut off before it hits 0%. I would do it as a precautionary measure just to make sure that your phone doesn't die unexpectedly when you need it most.

nice battery life mate

I have calibrated battery and it lasts around 12 hours with fairly good usage.
But my mobile shuts down when battery at 15 %.
Do I need to calibrate it again?

This will not help. I have calibratet again and again. I'm using the medroidmod ics 1.4.0.
My phone shuts down on 15%.

what are you guys using to calibrate for your battery? Mine used to turn off around 20-25% remaining but after I reset the battery stats its been more accurate. I get nowhere near the same amount of battery life that the OP has but I also am in a bad reception area.

I'm on the MeDroid HWA Mod and I cannot believe thatmy battery lasts for about two days now.
Do you really recalibrate or do you use the function out of your recovery, which function is busted meanwhile?!

Would like to find out about this battery calibration as well. Battery life on my N1 hasn't aged well, and I wonder if the batt's showin its age or something.

Mine isn't that good
I'm on latest MedroidMod but my battery drops fast with screen on and wifi but data off. It's like 20% each 25mins. But ICS is so sweet and cool that I don't wanna go back to the buttersmooth GB.
P/s: Which home launcher are you using/do you recommend to run on ICS?

My battery life seems to have improved slightly as well. I guess the complete redesign Google did, has done some good

wow its amazing

I'm running medroidmod remix and I'm happy when I make the day with one charge.
When my screen is on you can almost see my battery discharge.

With texice i had a huge drain (10% per hour), with medroid it was a little bit better but not nearly as good as with cm7.2RC1 now.
I've also finally updated radio to 5.08 yet.

58% at 12 hr's moderate usage on dk's rom (u5).

10.5 hours off power and at 63% on dk's ICS ROM. Screen time on is just over 1 hour.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA

Normally Ive never had a problem with the battery, ive lasted about a day and a half on moderate use, but with the latest version of BCM U5, when my phone goes idle for a while it starts to drop significantly, i'm not sure why its staying on other than I might have gotten a notification and it decided to stay awake

DK ICS latest update has a really awesome battery life, as well as a very good performance. recommended ROM 100% =)

[Official] battery stats thread

Once we get charged up (and back down), let's see how the battery life in the S4 compares to the quad core.
Please make sure to include your screen on time, as that is the best indicator of light/heavy use.

pleasantly surprised
I can't believe how good the battery has been so far, 84% after 13hours (over night)
I am a light user. still - that is impressive for stock. I never got close to that with my OG Epic on stock which was usually 3% per hour.

1h, 3M Battery down to 76%.
screen on for 38 min, 33% of battery usage.

Heres mine on a first day full charge...

Not too bad for first day with moderate to heavy use!

This is heavy usage. Screen on time of 3.5 hours. Downloading Max Payne and a lot of apps. Downloading and listening to audio on Google chrome. Lots of Pulse usage. Games, YouTube, and 30 minutes of phone calls.
*edit* Bluetooth and wifi on all day long.

More information is better for those of us living vicariously through you guys. Remember to include screen-on time. Thanks!

Here's mine for the first full day. Should my cell idle be taking up that much of the battery?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

one thing im NOT noticing here is Allshare Service taking up a high percentage in your guys battery stats...
on mine its been at 7-9% and i dont know why, i have something waking up my phone when the screen is off and it might be that... ive forced stop, but i check later and its active again, ive disabled the service and the Allshare play in the application manager but still comes back on... hmmm i think im gonna have to root and just get rid of that file, or freeze it or something

Question... Does having all the motion settings on effect the battery? Also does having the NFC and sbeam on hurt the battery?

This is only the 2nd cycle. Going to wipe stats after this charge

I'm still waiting for the second cycle to finish I have the motion controls on and the eye thing and I had no drop at all overnight

I wish I could get some stats like that. The screenshots are while I was sleeping and 7% seems like a lot of drain for it just sitting there. Only thing on was wifi. Cell standby time on is always the same as the time on battery, is that normal?
edit: the phone now shows 79% battery left with time on battery of 12h 46m; cell standby the exact same; screen on at 9% with time on of 48m. I'm fully stock and running power save mode.

Here are my stats. I think the battery life isn't too bad so far but we will see.

are the battery stats suppose to reset when you restart the phone? For dinner reason my persist even after a reboot

No, they will carry over until you re-charge or change the battery.
I was going to make a thread like this, but it was already here! Here are my results after my second full charge and regular usage. The results are on par with my fully modified and decked out Epic. Of course, this device has a bigger battery, but it also has a larger screen. Between the hardware and software upgrades, I'm very impressed with the stock battery life. This includes wifi on at all times as well as signal w/data. Some motion features are enabled, nfc is not, and google sync is off (I use stock email). Now how much further can this be improved?? Remember not to be discouraged, Screen On times will vary depending on what the phone is used for. Showing pictures is much less battery intensive than watching YouTube videos.

New Battery Life Discussion

I know there are many like this. But some have very basic methods, that may or may not work. Since most/all threads are currently inactive, I thought of creating a new one. MOD: YOU CAN DELETE THIS THREAD IF YOU WISH
So let's start giving this 2 year old phone, a battery life. Every post claiming with tips/tricks should also provide a screenshot of their Screen On Time, and Time on Battery (since unplugged/ full charge)

https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...crypted-galaxy-s6-battery-life-t3120047/page2
The above is a link to an xda thread, where a person claimed to have some improvements in battery life due to encryption.

There is no tricks or adjustments. there is no way we are in the hands of Samsung for some we expect updates

I think that I may have worse battery life than MM, also for some reasons the estimated battery life is stuck at learning device patterns. Any thoughts?

I've realised that most roms just have false claims of giving better battery life. Nothing works.

I've got s7 edge battery in g920f. Can't get 2h SOT
How is Your stats guys. I think that Android N drain my battery even more that 6 did.

I have s7 edge in my s6 flat with NNE 3.0 rom battery 6h SOT from 95% to 7% and all things activated wifi,gps,Aod,screen brightness 75%....

I dont use bt and for calibration let the battery discharge to 0 and get the phone shutdown and full charge the battery.
Do this for 3 or 4 cycles and that all i do.
