Battery Life on the X10

Ok, so there was a lot of discussion in Z's FreeX10 thread regarding whether it improved/worsened battery life, so I am running a little experiment. With the aid of Juiceplotter I ran for a few days on FreeX10b4, and then on the stock(ish) Rooted JIT 2.1.A.0.435 found here.

Beta 4 Over 24 Hours
Beta 4 Zoomed in on a period of use
Stock .435 over 24 Hours
Stock .435 zoomed in on a period of use (not the same day as the first image)
Typical use is just web browsing, not games or videos. It certainly looks a little steeper on the Beta4 graph.
Tomorrow I'll flash to the previous baseband and repeat for beta3 vs. Stock. If anyone knows how to make the pictures smaller I'd be grateful... I know how to do it in HTML but I've never posted anything in PHP before!
26/02/2011 Ok, after much delay I'm now running .49 baseband, flashed using Zhidhu's pre-rooted 2.0.2.A.24 found here. As some in the comments have noted, results seem to vary wildly w.r.t. battery life, which is why I thought I'd run tests on them all using the same handset and the same usage (i.e. mine) which should eliminate most variables.

Mine is the best it's ever been personally... Seems like results are extremely varied.

I get a vary of result for example today it has used 49% of the battery in 4 hours o.0
using juice defender but not auto task killer

I totally agree! My x10i may last even 3 days with moderate use of data and wi-fi, barely 1 if use it like it has to...

. 435 very good battery life here having struggled on beta4
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

I think there may be a bit of a battery or power glitch. My phone has stopped charging a couple of times, once at 74%, the other at 92%, and the battery has got quite hot. A swift reboot sorted it.
Generally, I think FreeX10 may be a bit heavier on the battery, but it's really hard to tell because it's so much nicer to use compared to the stock ROM that I think I'm using the phone lots more than I was :-D
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

I had some woeful battery time with Freex10Beta3, but then yesterday it was fantastic - sure, I wouldn't get 3 days out of it, but I could have pushed 1.5 easily...
Trouble with battery life is that it isn't an exact science (should be), but it seems you can change nothing, and have some drastic improvements. Or hardly touch the phone one day and it's dead in no time.

My X10 since new always drains my battery in one day, it's not a hardware problem, since i got a replacement, and then a battery replacement, i wish we could improve the batttery life a little more
i'm on BETA4

I'm not gonna say my battery life has been amazing lasting for weeks or anything but ive had no problem with it. I mean it lasts more than a day or maybe more than two with relatively light usage. And if I'm constantly on it I can drain it in 8hrs but I never drain it completely. And I've seen consistent life over the roms I've used as long as the flash was good which sometimes takes a couple times. My mom has one and she uses it only sparingly and it lasts over a week so in reality for having a computer in your pocket the life is not that bad. Besides do you really need to update your twitter status every 6 minutes??
Sent from my Delorean using a flux capacitor!

Nice Idea.
Personally I found that the battery life on Beta 2 was better than Beat 3 and 4.
Is is possibile to add it to your test?
Also the only only diffrence between Beta 3 and Beta 4 is the Baseband...

That's really what I'm testing... however I haven't had time to flash back to the old baseband yet. Real life tends to interfere...

Sent from my X10i cm 6.1.3 v4 using XDA App

Using Bitsnacker's 2.1 ROM on .435; no data, BT, GPS and STILL a strange battery leak I can't seem to trace. F.Y.I. also using SetCPU and AutoTaskiller, and a few Sysctl tweaks, so I may have created conflicts in my ignorance....

I've had a couple of times, since using b4 a weird thing where I plug it in and it drains really fast down to zero while charging. Rebooting seems to fix it though.
If it happens on b3 or stock 2.0.2.A.0.24 I'll know it's a fault with the handset and not a software issue.

[KERNEL] tb kernels by utkanos (updated for CM7)

Hello.
I have compiled a few kernels for use with any of the sense based roms out right now. There are 3 choices available, feedback is appreciated. Initial reports from users I have sent these to say they improved their battery life, I have been using #1 for 6 days and confirm better life, though ymmv as usual. Support for NFS and all related config options has been removed, tun support is included. For best results use ondemand governor (default).

Thanks for these! (you helped me out the other day on #thunderbolt channel @ andirc.net).
I personally am ready to sacrifice some performance (quadrant) to get longer battery life so I can keep my 4G on longer!
EDIT: After running this kernel overnight and for the past 12 hours, it is amazing on battery life. My battery was around 70% when I flashed the kernel, now 12 hours later and some usage (gmail non-stop, k9 mail polling every 15 minutes), 20+ apps running in background and up front, webcam widget running and updating every 15 minutes, 4G left on, battery is just now at 40%. Phone is still snappy and feels good. Thanks! I look forward to seeing how long I can go on a fully charged battery.

Gonna try these out

These are amazing. They are obviously not for the uber performance crowd who want their 2.0ghz kernel, however, they have greatly improved my battery life.
That said, i can keep 4g on all day and make it 20+ hours with moderate/heavy use.

Just so everyone knows...this guy is legit and will help you out whenever you need it. I've been running his 1st kernel for awhile now on the nonsense rom tesla coil. Because apparently the kernel (drods) that comes with that one makes your device reboot spontaneously at stock cpu speeds.

Drods kernels have been very solid for me with no reboots.

Been using the 5 slot. Very solid battery with this kernel. Thank you.

Wow. This kernel rocks. No speed difference using #1, but I really thought my battery was reporting wrong. It works so well.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

had an issue while downloading trying to download the 5 slot from this site. however, utkanos is very helpful on irc and gave me another link that works!

flash #1 earlier today and so far it seems very promising as the most battery efficient kernel yet.

I wanted to post how awesome this kernel has been after a few days now...
Today, after 8 hours of battery use with some internet use, 3G (LTE OFF), and music listening (FM and Local music files)...I still have 30% battery life left!
I used the battery calibration app just to make life easier too!

4g speed
I know "people" claim that their kernel does not effect 4g performance but after 5 consecutive tests on the 'other' one and 5 consecutive tests on the 1228 kernel here, I saw almost 2Mbps faster on this one. Whether it impacts it or not, my eyes do not deceive me. Thanks U.

Just downloaded the first one, running the latest virus rom, will check back in a few to report, thanks for these!

5 slot FL worked for me. Keeping with my 4g belief, the first thing I did was run a speed test. Got 9.93 Mbps. I don't care what others say about their kernels buy I witness theirs to be much slower 4g. The big test will be battery life. I will give feedback tomorrow. Btw I am in Detroit and test went to Chicago.

The note is not the problem it's your rom. Try a Samsung based custom rom and you'll get better results. I'm getting 4h-5h screen on time with rocket rom and speedmod kernel (using one battery )
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

1. Buy / prepare more battery. three batteries for 6 hours, means for 12 hours you will need 6 batteries.
2. Buy $15 phone at walmart as suggested by alewis2k12, so you will have spare phone if the note goes dead. :victory:
3. Try other ROM + Kernel, to find the most suitable to your device.

I have everything updating at minimum times and BT.GPS Wifi and data on all the time and don't go through a battery in a waking day. I went through one and a half on a flight from SC to LA Using the phone the whole way for internet access and a movie.
Im thinking the OP needs to switch ROMS or buy a Nokia 6126 which lasts about a week

No..all Samsung batteries.
Screen was biggest user....and brightness was set at 20%.
Governor was 'powersaver'!
Data usage/battery drain is huge at events like that where tower usage is saturated and your taking pictures and sending etc.
I knew that...but this drain was unreal.
Granted, its an exaggerated example of how poor battery life is on this device...but a viable example nonetheless.
The Note's battery life sucks.
The Nexus 7....bigger screen, also rooted with same custom Rom puts it to shame.
Wise up to it Sammy.

good point, however powersavor governator is not a powersaver lol, but as you mentioned not main cause.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

1. Not Samsung's fault. You're on a ROM that Samsung cannot be held directly responsible for.
2. Nexus 7 is a Device with a different spec, for valid Comparison use another GT-N7000.
3. Go Stock and Report Again - Use the Original Battery.
If you're building case remember to make sure you're under Samsung's Terms of usage. I hope you all remember about the phone that blew up and user brought it up to the media's attention, and later on it was discovered that it was the user's fault (As he was trying to heat a soaked phone from an Oven).
If you're looking for help or assistance, Then I suggest you take it to the Paranoid Android Thread. I'm sure, there are users besides the General Audience that can help you out or users that may share the same issue that you have faced.
Just my N7000 cents.

Well, tablets have considerably larger batteries than smartphones, so that's not really fair.
Also, It's probably safe to assume you aren't running the same apps on either, so apps could easily be blamed.
Instagram, for example, has been known to be a battery drainer unless killed.
As others posted, I also get all day, in general, using PA - although you didn't post which version.
If you have screen display set that low, and your screen time is still the largest (what % is that, by the way? largest could still be just say, '30%'),
then I'd put your batteries under suspect. Some of the knockoffs have very little charge, regardless of what they advertise.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

nexus 7 doesn't have 3g, turn airplane mode on the note, and battery life will double as well. Also, if you're on paranoid 0.5 and not jb, try AniDroid 0.8 kernel, you'd be surprised how your battery life improves

yeah.
I think you should bring up this issue on the Paranoid Android forums.
They sure can help you regarding this battery life issue, especially the developer, coz he will know the tweaks and changes he made on his ROM.
Rather than you blame on the device, which at the end, sammie won't held any responsible for using a custom ROM.

It has been observed that the MediaScanner is taking most of the battery in ParanoidAndroid Roms. Try stopping that.
Also you can replace the kernel and use Asylum insanity kernel to get better battery life.

nope, I don't use stock kitkat, but kitkat based roms, just like you're sharing your personal experience similarly I've shared mine bro.

I'm very surprised with my result. This is stock 5.0.2 with stock everything and relocked bootloader. All I have done is disabled background data for a few troublesome apps like Google play services.
I have 2 email accounts setup push. Bluetooth is always on and was on a 50/50 mix of WiFi and 3g data. Display brightness is auto.
Disabled most of the Google syncing stuff though. Overall I'm pretty happy. I want the 3rd generation Moto G now though.

I'm getting a 4 hours & 58 minutes Screen on Time with 5% battery left. Still a good battery performance for a phone that would turn 2 years old this coming april. I'm pretty much contented.
I'm on a 7.1.1 Resurrection Remix ROM with default kernel, Greenify was installed, wifi was on all the time, 1h 30m of surfing the web with Chrome, streaming videos in YouTube for 2h then browsing Facebook and Instagram with the remaining hours.

My result, i am on AEX rom v4.6
the phone is only 2 week old i bay it for 50$ ?
