So what's the longest uptime you've had?

I just crossed the 350 hour mark and shooting for 1000 hours of uptime. This started as an experiment to see how long it would take without a reboot for the phone to slow down. So far, it's still running as fast as it typically does after a reboot.
How about you guys? I think I'm going to try and see if I can hit a month without rebooting.

I'm at the 250 hour mark now and the only reason it's not higher is because I've run it completely dry of battery a couple of times
edit:
Getting my 1600mAh and 2800mAh batteries from Seidio today though, so the counter is gonna reset again ;(

Iam on 380 hours of uptime in writing moment

With those new batteries how much longer can you expect to be able to use it say with standard use?
Mine lasts a full day mostly so far. Just curious.

I didn't look at mine. I normally don't have uptime of more than 24 hours since I frequently have to reboot to check the function of my morphs.

I've had about 280 before. Since I've rooted though, there's a bug in the superboot that I've done that wrecks the phone every other day or so. Something with memory card access. I'm trying to find a rock-solid ROM with himem and root. Speaking of that, suggestions?

This is the wrong thread for that, but I'd suggest trying all of them and testing yourself. That's part of the fun.

305 hours, had to reboot due to sms/signal issues.
Once and a while I will have service but will be unable to send sms. Weird.

No fair, you're on stock!
(I'm not speaking of stability here, but for those of trying new things we're always flashing )
I'm currently at 117 hours on Modaco's Desire Alpha10
Personally I'd say anything over 1 week (168 hours) is just awesome for me.

A little off-topic but ok. It's just simple math really, the standard battery is 1400mAh. The 1600mAh would therefore last 14% longer and the 2800mAh battery would last twice as long as the 1400mAh battery.

I'm at 630 hours right now. Probably the most I have seen it at but yeah, I don't really check that much. Do I win a prize?

No, but you're the man to beat.

btw, I Just posted a new DroidUptime version. Now it supports Android 1.5 devices.

270 hrs, then it rebooted by itself.

Can't you plug it into the wall jack so that you don't loose power while changing the battery? I can do this with my tilt. My previous phone had a switch on the battery door that shut it off. I'm not sure about the N1.

Mine is at 1171 beat me?

Battery taking forever to charge on 2.1

I am running DC v1.0 and i feel like ever since installing this ROM
after being on Fresh 1.1, my batter takes forever to charge via the wall
outlet (AC power). I followed all of the steps on xda as far as properly getting damage's rom to install on my phone. Running 1.6.2 recovery, and i did not upgrade my radio but that really shouldnt have any effect on how long it now takes to charge my phone. I have yet to monitor how long it would take using USB cable. Anyone else experiencing this? When i was running 1.5 while rooted, the phone would charge in no time (could go from 25% to full in about 1.5 hrs). Now it seems that an hour charging will only net me another 15% or so in battery life. Any suggestions on something i can tweak/fix or even monitor why this is happening?

I'm also running DC v1.0 and from what I can tell, if I plug into a USB port and am actually using the phone, it pretty much only "keeps up". Meaning that the battery doesn't go down, but it doesn't seem to be charging significantly either.
Haven't noticed any difference plugged into the wall. I can go from dead to fully charged in a couple hours (haven't timed it, but I'd guess about 2 1/2).

Same here, really annoying. I've been charging the thing all day...
:/

Try this. It allows the phone to sleep properly, and also helps charge time.

this is one of those off the wall things that made me flash back to fresh 1.1...lol there were to many little things that would work. but then wouldnt,, and im sure its a combo of things etc.. but i got tired lol and went back..

Massive battery drain and an eternity to charge

Hi,
This past week, my G2 has had massive problems with the battery draining when I have been doing basic things like web browsing etc.... I can literally watch the battery drop %'s every few minutes... the phone also gets extrmely hot up the top of the phone around near camera, it gets to about 50 degree... and to make things even more worringly it takes all day to charge to full, instead of it charging to full in an hour or so it will barely get to 50% overnight..
Does anyone have any ideas what the hell is going on??? It's running stock EU KK ROM

I'm having the same issue. For me it seems to be triggered when I connect to bluetooth in my car. Once the battery drain is triggered it continues even after I get of the car. I've gotten in the habit of rebooting my phone every time a turn off the car. A major pain but it works until I find a better solution. I've been thinking about wipping the phone but I don't want to go through the hassle if I can avoid it.

First thing I guess would be to try a battery stats app (Gsam for instance) and have that running from a full charge to see if anything is running without your knowledge.

Not even with a separate app, did you guys take a look at the "stock" battery stats?
I had once a big battery drain that was caused by the media server.
If I helped you, please thank me

Ive currently tried every battery stats app i can get my hands on lol..... I've gone through the 50+ battery guide using titanium back up.... I've disabled startup programs.... Geez even Sonic the hedgehog Ep2 was for some reason just always doing something and i never touch it lol.... Anyway I'll keep a close eye on it but i still can't explain the long charge times.... Maybe something will come up
Yeh I checked stock battery stats, the main hog seems to be bluetooth when it's not even switched on :/

What cable you using? All cables are not created equally. Try the cable and charger the phone came with. if that's not it try a different cable.

Im using loads of different cables...
I actually *think* I found the very unlikely culprit.... Google Chrome Camera!!!!!! Someone else commented on the exact same problems as me on the Play Store... which sounds about right because I've had the charging probs about as long as I installed the app.... So I've removed it and hopefully thats fixed it

I could see the app maybe causing the drain but I think it highly unlikely it affecting charging. I still like the cable idea for your slow charge. Go find your white one the phone came with and try it =)

[Q] Battery doesn't fully charge to 100%

I have an L01F, a Japanese G2. The ROM right now is CloudyG2 3.3, with the stock Cloudy kernel. My problem is that the phone seemingly doesn't charge to 100%; it usually stops at 93-98%, but unplugging it and a simple reboot immediately changes the reading to 100%. I dug around, and whenever the phone stops charging at a level below 100%, the voltage reading is at ~4200mV, which is supposed to be 100%. I've done battery calibration numerous times already, and nothing seems to work. The problem first started showing when I installed KK Dorimanx kernel when I was still using CloudyG2 2.2 (KK). I've moved on to CloudyG2 3.3 (LP) with proper wipes, but to no avail. Anyone have any idea what's going on?
EDIT: the battery voltage hovers at around 4330mV when it stops charging below 100%

Seems like battery controller problem?..

Would that mean I have to replace the battery to fix this?

I don't think that you should do that.
For example my Mac shows 99% max, and wife's older one shows 93% max.

Just an update:
I recently found out that, using the hidden menu *#*#4636#*#*, the battery hovers at around 4330mV when it stops charging below 100% (in the past it would stop charging at around 4200mV). I think that this is detrimental for the battery's longevity, and I need to fix this asap. I've tried calibrating the battery again using the appropriate steps, still no luck. Anyone have any idea? Could this be a ROM bug? Kernel?

2 questions. How old is the battery? Have you let it completely drain and recharge?

The battery is around 1.5 years old. And I have done complete discharge and (undisturbed) charge cycles multiple times now. It only gets straight to 100% if I leave it turned off while charging. Else, I would need a reboot to change the reading to 100% after it stops charging.

At that rate I'd look into a replacement battery. Litium cells build internal resistance over discharge cycles.and Given uve done full discharge/charge cycles only getting a full charge when off is a good sign.
If I remember right u said you have a LG G2. It does not have a replaceable battery it is very easy to swap. I can try and do a basic teardown video of a G2 tomorrow at work if you would like.

Not a problem man. I'll dig through the boxes at work tomorrow to build a G2 and tear it down. A new battery should be pretty easy to find on eBay, swappa, or some of the various parts dealers on line for pretty cheap. That used to be one of the biggest problems with g2's aside from broken lcd's

Try draining the phone till it shuts itself off, then charge it to 100% while the phone is still off.
Boot it back up with the power cord still attached.
It should be back to 100%.
If you have the time, a normal discharge refresh is 100%>0%>100%>0%>100%. So 3 cycles.(I do this with my 3000mA LiPo batteries at 1amp and it takes like 15 hours.)
If that doesn't help, you could try to check internal resistance, if it's over 500mili-ohms, it's a bad battery.

Thanks for the tips! And nope, I haven't been able to perform a normal discharge refresh. Unfortunately, I don't have that much time to spare away from my phone. But will definitely try this if I do find the time (before getting a replacement battery, that is).

Are you getting the same results with other roms too? Try Dirty Deeds rom, if you haven't tried it yet.

Unfortunately, it's the same with other compatible roms. AFAIK only a few roms are compatible with L01F (Japanese G2), and Dirty Deeds isn't one of them.
What I haven't tried is flashing the kdz, since I don't have the time to do that, plus I don't like JB (though the stock JB gave me the best battery life by far). Thinking back, this problem might have started when I played around with the charging speed options in the KK Dorimanx kernel back when I was in CloudyG2 2.2.

Sorry it took so long to get this made. finally got a g2 to tear apart. all thats needed is a gituar pick/nails/etc, p00 Philips screwdriver
turn sound off, theres no important audio.
1 remove sim tray
2 pry up the corner and use pick to remove back cover
3 Unscrew top and bottom plastic pieces, remembering where the black screw goes
4 remove associated ribbions and peel buttons back.
5 Pry battery out, Use a little caution here since it is a lithium battery, and you are using the back of the frame and lcd as leverage.
the frame is pretty sturdy. and the battery is taped in pretty good. a little 99% alcohol can help loosen it when the corner is peeled up,
Reinstall is opposite
sorry the video is in 2 parts, and uploaded to mega

Funny thing ive recently replaced my old battery with a new original one and stiil getting 100% at 4330mv too. Haven't figured what's wrong, still searching :/

Battery Drain while Charging, tried almost everything, need help!

Hi Guys,
Been following XDA for a long time but never had to post anything as everything had already had an answer to my question.
I know there are a lot of threads about battery drain but for some reason, everything I have tried has seemed to help minimally.
Here's the rundown.
I have a Galaxy S5 G900I running G900F custom rom, Resurrection Remix 5.6.7 Marshmallow.
Previously I was running the lollipop version of Resurrection Remix and battery was fine.
The phone is over a year old, but I have tested the battery with another S5 my wife has and it is perfectly fine. It charges fairly quick when the power is off on the phone and still fast enough while it's in use. Even if I am to open up a game on my wife's phone with my battery or hers, the battery continues to charge slowly while in use.
On my phone however, switched with both batteries, the drain is astronomical. I tested playing a game and I would lose practically 1% of battery per minute while in game.
What I have done so far is, installed Xposed, I have Amplify running following various guides which has slowed down the drain of my battery, I have installed Greenify which has also helped. I've turned off the scanning of wifi and bluetooth in locations. I have tried going back to stock rom which does help but it doesn't help me figure out the issue I want to fix.
I have tried switching power points in the house, changing usb cables, changing chargers, all of which do not help my phone with either battery, but on my wives it is fine.
I have also set CPU profiles in Rom Toolbox to lower CPU usage in idle, lower than 15% battery, while on charge. As of today, even while using the phone, I have limited the max CPU usage.
Prior to this latest updated Rom with Marshmallow, I could use my phone and have it plugged into my USB 3 on my PC and it would charge while in use unless playing a game or using a high demanding application, in which case, it would slowly drain. If in a power point adapter it would charge regardless.
Now, even in idle, on my PC, it drains while charging, and charges extremely slow on a power point.
I have searched for over a week trying to find any sort of guide or help with this problem and I have certainly minimized some of the drain but this is ridiculous.
If anyone has any idea's on what it could be, please let me know. I have tried cleaning all the dirt and gunk out of the charging point, the only thing I haven't done is pull apart the phone to see if its a hardware problem (Which I am starting to think it might be.)

have u tried with another usb cable?

Yes, I have tried various USB cables on various USB chargers, even non USB chargers I had laying around. And as I said, I have also switched the batteries into my wife's phone and they charge fine there.
The problems only started once I upgraded to Marshmallow.
It also persists when the phone is switched off and charging. It's just slow.

Do they persist while on L? Could possibly be a conveniently timed hardware failure.

Your default CPU 1900.0 MHz (8-core) this now running at 2400 MHz, you are lucky that the phone did not permanent damaged up to date.
Find S5 G900I compatible ROM and not what ever ROM.

try to factory reset your device 1st. if its only started after MM update then must be software issue.

Done that. Had a previous ROM installed and the battery was better. But I want to know how to fix the issue, I don't want to revert back to older software.
I know its possible because even with the same rom installed, before I bricked it and forgot to back it up, I had better battery life.

It seemed that you did that unsuccessfully, OR you battery gets old and needs replacement.
At about 400 charging times, the battery this is now at 80% capacity or less.
In my S5 I have permanently activated basic power saving mode, this clocks the CPU always lower than Max.
The phone seems happy, and I am too.

By using one Qualcomm App I discovered how low is low with basic power saving mode on.

Flash a custom Kernel and you can set it more or less as low as you like

S5 this is a very complicate device, I am trusting only Samsung about it.
If this was an old tablet with out ROM support from anywhere, in this case I would.

Having trouble finding a custom ROM that's a stable build that runs on S5 and on Marshmallow. Would you happen to know any in particular that I could use?

This one looks like it supports stock TW 6.0.1 MM for the G900F
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...kernel-phoenix-kernel-v7-marshmallow-t3340407
But like always, do your own research before flashing
EDIT - Actually it looks like the dev has left out OCing from this Kernel, not sure about downclocking/under volting - maybe request it in his thread
