actually the OP's batt life is attainable it just depends how much work you pushed on your phone. like example when I do wifi movie streaming my phone battery last 5-6 hours top, when gaming like robo defense only lasts 4 hours maybe more depending on how gpu/cpu intensive games are, while when only browsing the net I get 7-9 hours top but I can get 4 days batt life and still has 15% left on my phone with light use (wifi/data on), that is 30 min call with mail, gmail, messenger, clock weather widget, and weather bug on with one hour update interval and I also used screen filter widget at 67% to lower screen brightness more but not to the point of straining the eye with low brightness and my phone is not setting on the table at all. Well all our phone are not created equal so it may react differently with every rom and modifications we do or with every system it has. If you have tons of app that constantly updating datas well that's another story.:D
[Captivate General] bulletproof1013:
Bottom line...if u use your phone u get a day give or take a couple hours or so...if you don't use it you get 3 days.its like my car, if I stomp the gas all day I will be filling up soon. If I drive like some idiot and take all day on the road then I get more mileage...duuuhhh.

If I have helped press thanks.;)

On Froyo yeah. On gingerbread, I can go from full to dead in 24 hours of non-use.
[Captivate General] Soccer_Dad:
It's useful to think of battery drainage in terms of either %/hour or hours of use. In testing overnight, I can usually find a ROM/kernel combo to get down to .67% per hour (150 hours of use - about 6 days). That's completely unused - not much of a phone, but at least it's on and could theoretically receive calls.

Other use adds to that base drainage. In round numbers, I use 8% per hour using the display (12 hours) depending on the brightness I guess, 6-7% per hour tracking on GPS with the display off (15 hours), about 10% per hour playing simple games (think sudoku), about 5% per hour with music playing (20 hours), and about 20% per hour using the camera or watching a movie (5 hours). I haven't looked at phone usage, oddly enough - no one wants to talk to me for an hour so I can get a long enough sample...

Anyway, you just add it up. I'm now down 35% after 13 hours. 11 hours was deep sleep according to CPU spy - maybe that's 8% usage. Display was on a little more than an hour - probably about 9% (even though the battery stat says it was about 24% - 67% of 35%). 15 minutes of voice calls, wifi active for 4 hours (supposedly using 2% of the power - but I'm not buying that low number), did quite a lot of fooling around with web live wallpapers, printed a pdf tax return on our wireless printer because the laptop can't connect right but my phone can, etc.

So I can easily see how you could make your phone last 72 hours (by sleeping for 66 of the hours) or how your phone could drain in less than 12 hours (if you are a heavy user). Usage above these levels should not be happening, though. I had a program on - Gaia GPS - that drained 34% per hour when loaded, and 44% per hour when actually tracking. That isn't captivate or your battery - that's just a program with a bug in it (at least for my specific hardware/software combo).
[Captivate General] Spardasieg:
New here, have had my phone for a year, the battery dies within half a day sometimes, never lasts a whole day. I am running the stock 2.2, no background apps, I go on facebook for 20 mins a day maybe, make 2-3 5 minute calls and its down to 30-40%.

I actually did nothing on it once all day but check the time every hour or so for a second and it died by the middle of the night, about 10am to 3am.

This Rom sounds great if it works that good, I found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739304

I have been searching around trying to find out what would help the best, after I follow those steps up there what is the simplest way to install this Rom/kernal? Sorry if I sound noobish. :(
[Captivate General] CuriousTech:
Spardasieg

First, consider a newer better battery since yours is old: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1303883

Second, read the stickies. There are tons of roms to choose from, and you'll need to know lots of info. New roms need a new bootloader. That thread above is just a root. It'll help you backup your apps+data so you can put a rom on it. :)

At least upgrade to 2.3.5 with bootloaders and CWM for starters:

questions

sorry if these are stupid questions. but I'm rather new to Android, so some things that maybe obvious to others I'll miss. luckily most of my questions are yes and no answers :-)

1) this app does not tie into google calendars and your schedule and appoints there... right ?

2) this app will run all the time in the background unless i force close it.... right ?

2a) if 2 is yes then how much memory/CPU will it utilize ?

3) will this wake up my phone and set off the alarm if it is sleeping ?

4) does it repeat the alarm until i take action (like shutting the alarm off) or does it just run the alarm once

4a) if the alarm only runs once can u make it repeating ? i need repeating alarms! i often do not hear the alarm till i leave my bedroom

4b) is there a volume toggle for alarm tones ?

5) is there a snooze ?

TY for the App and hope u can answer my questions :-)

[Android Apps and Games] ikaola:
Thanks for your questions:)

1) ZDclock does not tie into google calendars and your schedule and appoints there.

2)It needs to run all the time in the background cause it must ring on time as the system alarm clock does.Memory 7MB to 10MB(depend on the usage condition),CPU 0%;

3) It will wake up the phone even when silent mode(There is an option to choose no wake up when silent mode).

4) It will repeat the alarm until you take action (like shutting the alarm off or choosing to repeat later). You can press the silence in the pop-up page. And set the volume and ringtone in menu.

5) yes,there is a snooze.
[Android Apps and Games] a1yet:
thank you this will work wonderfully for me then :-)
[Android Apps and Games] a1yet:
ok nice alarm system

BUT

i just ran a custom TEST alarm

ran 2 actually

First test) ran with vibrate on, the Vibrate keep repeating till i acknowledged the alarm. BUT the alarm tone only played once. because of this i thought vibrate was making the sound only played once, so did a second test

second test) Vibrate off. alarm sound only played once then nothing for around 15 min now (seeing if i waited if it would play again), looking at the screen i see the alarm went off and asking me what i want to do (IE: turn off / delay 10 min / silence / repeat tomorrow)

BUT there is nothing to silence as the buzzer only played once

so my question is how do i make it repeat ?

"4) It will repeat the alarm until you take action (like shutting the alarm off or choosing to repeat later). You can press the silence in the pop-up page. And set the volume and ringtone in menu."

Thank you again for the program and all the help u have given me :-)

sincerely

[Android Apps and Games] ikaola:
Thanks for your enthursiasm about ZDclock:)

'delay 10 mins' means repeat 10 mins later. Sorry for that mistake, we will change the ring page (press to silent and then you can choose no repeat or repeat 10 mins later/30 mins later/1 hour later/3hour later)

The default ring duration is 1 minute.

The alarm tone only played once. Did you press turn off or silence in the pop-up menu? If not, it may be a bug.

Thanks for your help:)
[Android Apps and Games] a1yet:
Short answer is no I did not turn off or press anything in the popup menu. The alarm tone only played once even though I waited 15 minutes to make sure it was not going to play again.

Long answer:

Because this is beta software you say I may have found a bug I am going to give you more information

My current phone is the Motorola Atrix (MB860)

the steps i took to run the test alarm is as follows

in options:

select ringtone > system ringtones > Buzzer alarm

ring duration > continuous ring

in main app:

add new >

custom >

set time (set time to 3 min from now) >

repeat >

(left this alone to default) once only >

date (left alone (todays date)) >

title (test) >

Ringtone (left at default because i set it above all ready) >

no vibrate

like i said it will keep vibrating continuously BUT only play the buzzer alarm, sound once. so i have this set to no vibrate

i'll test another type of alarm and sound soon

like set a different kind of alarm and see if that fixes it

and i'll change to another sound

and get back to you

PS:

i am doing nothing on my phone when the alarm goes off. it is sitting on my home page with the active wall paper running. and nothing else and i have my phone set to never turn off screen and/or sleep.

i also forgot to mention that i also rebooted in between alarm test, to make sure there was nothing in the background interfering.

FOUND THE PROBLEM

"Continuous Ring" plays ring sound only once NOT continuously

because 3 min alarm played the sound for 3 min (well actually tuned it off after about one minute but assume it would have played 3 min)

Ok guys I read the threads and the talk about bump charging and wiping the battery stats but it seems to not be working on the extended battery. I know I am not the only one who has this issue as I see in random rom threads people with this problem with the extended battery. It will only update when I go to reboot the phone than the actual percentage will drop.

If I place the stock battery in everything is just fine and dandy and it updates with no problems. This happens on any rom I use.

I even tried the manual way of going into terminal emulator and doing

cd /data/system/ (enter)

rm batterystats.bin (enter)

and I also tried doing it from clockwork recovery under advance settings.

if anyone has any insight or info on a fix its much appreciated :D

[Nook Color General] dpakrr:
if its on your sd card, maybe try move it to your nook.

settings->applications->pulse->move to phone
[Nook Color General] sark666:
Well I'm using the sd card installer by verygreen. Not sure if that could be causing the issue. Can I move the app when I'm using cm7 is on the sdcard?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Nope, same here, CM7 running off SD. And moving it to SD card would be of course logically moving it from one place to another on the SD card. To Android, however, it's different as it then has to loop-mount it and load it slightly differently.

I haven't tried Pulse "on SD", I set my defaults to install to Internal. If Pulse IS "Moved to SD" you might try "Move to Phone".

IMO since we have 1G of /data, no need to use "Move to SD" as it just slows things down a bit.
[Nook Color General] sark666:
Hmm, maybe I'll try moving the app. I did a few nightlies on this and then the honeycomb tweaks mod and finally the stable cm7. I never wiped the card between these and just copied the zip over.

Pulse is the only one that consistently crashes but a couple of times the market fc'd and so has google maps. Is anyone else getting the odd crash with core apps or is cm7 final, stable for you?
[Nook Color General] kaiser__sose:
it works ok for me until if i don't install google reader and add feeds from my google reader... strange
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
No crashes for me on CM7 at all.. BTW, I just tried out a new News app, Taptu, you might give it a try.

Pulse seems to pull in more information without going to the Browser though, only thing I don't like about it. Otherwise it's pretty cool. Really same concept as Pulse though.
[Nook Color General] sark666:
Ok I uninstalled it again, but prior to doing so, I noticed I couldn't clear the apps cache. So I uninstalled it and deleted the remaining pulse directory.

Did a fresh install and it seemed fine at first, I thought problem solved. Usually pulse fc's on me in 30 seconds or less. This time I used it for a couple of minutes and thought problem solved. It almost seems it fc's when grabbing all the image previews for the articles.

Could it be a bad sd card and all the small writes that are going on? Is there a good utility to test an sd card? And if so, is a wipe necessary? (Assuming it might need to write then read to each block.

Or is there a possibility of updating a few nightlies, then tablet tweaks, then cm stable on the sd card without ever wiping could be causing it?

Hi all, first of all im new here and wanted help on that ROM, i tried a few already and that one is a great one, first i wanna congratulate Wolf by his job, is for sure a hard one but...

After reading tons of solutions in Wolfs thread, and even in other threads, tried other tweaks and "cheats", i still need a "right" answer.

My battery drains too fast, even more than stock 2.1, i tried everything that were said in Wolfs post as i said above, and still the same...

Some even say that doesnt matter the brightness of the screen in this ROM its almost no diference but even at less than 25% my batery goes down around 20% a hour.... yeah if im looking at my xperia, and after some minutes check it again the batery was drained 2-3% and just by leaving it on the table...

i guess something is wrong with it, something i did ofc, since everyone is enjoying new batery life, im loving the ROM just need to be sure how to fix my batery if thats done everything is alright for me and can wait for new Wolf ROMs, or even the ones with new Kernel, without changing this one, cause its really great :)

so if someone that faced the same problem as me, plz can do me a detailed step-by-step "guide" how to fix it i would really apreciate it.

p.s: yeah u can ask me to re-flash the ROM, but maybe is the 10th time i've made it :( i really saw 2.1 rom and 2.2 wolf's one changing a lot of times in this last week lol but if u have a solution and need to do it again here i go

p.s.2: wireless always off or almost, only turn it on once in awhile at home to download some apps from market but is very rare, GPS always off, have no car and dont use it in any other kind of apps :P BT also off :) ...humm i guess i have everything as they should be but the phone likes to drain my battery

Many thanks, and hope u guys can help me ;)

I did experience the same issue at first with wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3, but the battery drain seems to be fixed after some updates. Have you applied the latest update v054?

-- Edit --

You might want to try to calibrate your battery by draining it until the phone is forced to shut down by itself and fully charge it several times. I noticed my phone hanged on at 1% for quite awhile before it shut down during the draining process.. lol

I'm not entirely sure if it's healthy to drain the battery this way. I know it's not when you drain it completely but it seems there's a safeguard built in to tell the phone to shut down when the battery level is critical (since my phone wouldn't just cut right off after I drain the battery, it shuts down like how it would be done manually..)

my two cents :)

1. Drain your battery by itself.

4. Turn off X10

5. Connect to charge again, until battery is full again.

6. Turn on X10 and enter Xrecovery--advanced xxxx--wipe battery satats.

Thanks for the clarification mate! I previously thought you were discussing how removing those files would improve original CM 6.1.3's battery life.

My mistake for jumping to the conclusion there..

Maybe it's just my phone but after a day of use, display screen usually takes up 75% and other stuffs would only have less than 5-10% lolol (Note that's not after watching a whole movie just normal browsing, calls, texting..etc).
