No you don't.

And the OP was basically saying he gets ~48 hours of use on his phone, which is significantly higher than what you were saying.

There is no Android phone that I've used or seen that gets that type of battery life.

Only Nokia ESeries and Blackberries get that type of battery life - and yes, I've used (and owned) them.

And by that I mean you get 2+ days on those phones with in most cases above moderate use. If you hardly use the phone then you aren't really testing the battery life in use, you're mainly testing the standby time.

If you're "always on it" than that infers moderate to heavy use, and you aren't getting 24+ hours of battery life on this phone with that type of use.

You can say it until your vocal chords explode, but you're not.

I've certainly gotten over 20 hours on one charge, but not with heavy use of the phone, and especially not with heavy data use of the phone on 3G. It's not even approaching believable, IMO.

~48 hours even on WiFi isn't approaching believable.

If it was a Blackberry or eSeries, then I wouldn't even hesitate to believe it because I had a Bold 9780 and the thing could be used heavily for 8 hours and only drop 20% of a full charge :P
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Some people who post their battery life here use their phone so little that they're basically posting standby times.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Have to factory reset for it to work, just like KA6 update...
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
So basically you aren't really using your phone? Lol... Don't see the point. You can talk for 5 hours on a blackberry and still have over 50% of a charge. That would probably kill this phone. Even my HD2 could get that type of uptime with such little usage, crappy battery and less efficient OS (WM6.5 Stock ROM) notwithstanding...
[Vibrant General] derrickps3:
Bs, I dont believe it
[Vibrant General] TheSneakerWhore:
Thank you for explaining to me how I use my phone and how much battery gets drained...Oh, and how it is impossible--I must be deaf, dumb and blind.

I better let the government know about it so I can claim disability. :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] mrsbelpit:
No, you don't. Go to manage apps, drm protected content storage, clear data. soft reboot no less than 3 times, and avatar will then play.
[Vibrant General] TheSneakerWhore:
Awesome Fora name!!!!!:D
[Vibrant General] S0NiX0928:
I can't imagine ever achieving such battery life. You guys just running stock or custom roms to get such battery results?

I'm just hoping that someday Samsung releases an update that allows us to toggle the damn hard key button backlights on and off... Those things are fricken brutal in the dark. (O_o)
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Didn't work for me. Tried that first cause it's what people said last time. I had to factory reset both times.

Plus the phone simply does not feel robust after an update without a factory reset, IMO.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
They hardly use their phone. I generally ignore their screenshots and posts about Blackberry/eSeries-level battery life because it's a myth and always will be. No android phone gets that much battery life with moderate use. Those are basically just standby times...
[Vibrant General] CrimsinX:
What app are you all using to control your cpu and sleep state? Cpu tuner? Set cpu? Other? Cpu tuner seemed to cause crashes (for me but saved a ton of battery.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Ha, I once got 7 1/2 days on one single charge and still had about 24% left. Of course though, display only used about 20%. ;)
[Vibrant General] sghsgh11:
This is with the stock KB5 firmware and not just flashing the modem?
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
Little hard for me to believe but I don't think it is impossible at most I got like 14 normal to heavy use so maybe u could
[Vibrant General] mattraab:
My phone lasts a whole week. Wifi always on and music always playing. I also leave the screen on all the time. Oh damn its still plugged in
[Vibrant General] Haxel:
I call shenanigans on battery life. On 2G/edge config I get max (AT BEST) 18 hours usually with what I'd consider moderate use (connected to an exchange server to boot).

20+ hours on stock my arsh. You'd be lying to say you have it on 3G and have sync on. Your OMG UBER BATT LIFE is a lie if you have to use the phone as a glorified clock + in airplane mode.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
The Cell Standby and Phone Idle prove it all.

Cell Standby comes on after about 20-30 minutes in standby to save battery...

the Phone Idle comes on after 10-20+ minutes as well...

and those percents are almost reaching the Display, which should ALWAYS be highest unless if you make a bunch of phone calls.
[Vibrant General] muchelaguito:
I use my phone in a regular basis for browsing the internet, reading books, or a call/text here and there, and get 24 hours in a regular basis. On some weird occasions I have goten up to 37 hours with the same usage (I can't explain what makes the difference)...

I have trigger 2.9.3 with tiger's blood kernel, kb1 modem... and I AM OVERCLOCKED (1.2)with setCPU. I use profiles to bring down the processor to 800Mhz on sleep. Call me a liar or whatever, but I'm not.

Edit: Something I forgot to add: I use wifi calling all the time at home and the office. I think it has to do with my battery life, as Tx power to communicate to a local WiFi AP must be much lower than a cell tower that could be located a couple miles away. When wifi calling is on, cell radio turns off.
[Vibrant General] j0hnZ:
Lawl, my mt3g lasted 6 days on standby. I'm sure it would last a few days of moderate use.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
This isn't a Mt3G is it?
[Vibrant General] j0hnZ:
I was referring to the all android phone argument, common sense guy...

I'm surprised you didn't notice I'm on a nexus s and tell me to get out of this forum too.

[Vibrant General] enoch861:
Your right. This thing has terrible battery life. But I just finished flashing like 2 different ROMs and like 20+ odin flashes cause I messed up (it's really easy to mess up on the vibrant especially with voodoo...). I'm literally watching my battery go down. I'm on Bionix-v 1.3.1 by the way.

Are there any good gingerbread ROMs by the way? I only seem to find I9000 ROMs which seem to suck one way or the other.

Also, isn't viewing dark content supposed to help with battery life? Cause my former HD7 with the white theme seems to even outlast this phone. (i tend to leave stuff on auto).
[Vibrant General] rmeden:
no change measured

Just to bring the thread back to the original topic....

This thread does not have any actual comparisons of kA6/KB5 battery measurements.

I keep my phone on my nightstand to receive system pages overnight. Each night I regularly lose 10% while I sleep. Yesterday I loaded KB5, and last night was a test. The same 10% battery loss: (Wifi and Cell standby) :(

For last night's test I disabled Touchdown. With Touchdown up, I lose a less consistent 15-25% overnight. I'll test that, but I don't expect any improvements.

Yesterday I repeated a previous test where KA6 would take forever to boot when a pin-code lock is enabled. That bug still exists, it may even be worse.. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get to the phone menu to turn off the pin lock!

So as of now, I can't find any changes with KA6. I hope bluetooth behaves better. :(

[Vibrant General] hotadef:
i think the big difference in battery is signal. people in places with strong signal will have less battery drain the others. i get like 12hrs of use during the week. but weekends i can use phone and get 20hrs and i make more calls on weekend
[Click General] palimpala:
hej there.

found something funny.

go under settings.scroll down to the end and click on the last,where you will find the mobile info.

than click on the "android-version" button VERY fast..about 10times and a picture will appear with the title "Zombie art by Jack Larson"

and than go back and click on "Mod-version"..also VERY fast and about 10 times(till the picture appears) and the title of the picture is "Brought to you by your friends atTeamDouche".

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidApprentice:
I've seen posts by 1-2 people who still do because they like not having some of the bluetooth bugs Froyo introduces and maybe a few other reasons. I myself held off on installing DK28 and EB13 and waited all the way for EC05. I'm overall happy with it although it's not perfect. I can definitely notice better performance and of course important (to me) new features and apps. And the big GPS fix. To each their own. Eclair was smooth and stable, whatever else was wrong with it.

[Intercept General] brooksyx:
there are plenty of ways to root. search sdx android forums and use any wifi tethering app with the root.
[Intercept General] kneel:
1) Get z4 app (get it on google, install from SD card - watch for viruses)

2) Get Barnacle Free from android market. Install and run once your Android is temp rooted with z4.

Boom - - got your hotspot

Z4 is just a front end for SU app but gives you two buttons (Temp and Perm root options). If you are competent you can just get the superuser app and do it yourself

Camera not workin on Gingerbread (any 2.3 ROM)

Hello,

I have the same problem.

Samsung Galaxy S I9000

No Brandings

No Locks

O2 Germany SIM

16 GB external SD

On any 2.3 ROM I flash my "main" camera is not working.

I tried Cyanogemod, DarkysRom, MIUI, Hamsterbread and official Samsung 2.3 Release via Kies.

Always the same Result:

- On non Samsumg ROMs the Camera Apps don't even start. They exit with a Camera Failure Error.

- On Samungs ROMs the Camera App starts but stays with a black Screen. The Front (Face) Camera does work just fine. But the "main" Camera does not show anything. When I try to take a picture or switch to video-mode: The application freezez. Next time I start the CameraApp I get a Camera failure error.

Flashing back to 2.2 (Froyo) - Everything works just fine.

Before I start playing with Camera Firmware Stuff I wanted to ask if someone has a safe way to solve this problem.

many thanks in advance.

Hi all,

When I reboot my Defy, it forgets the names I've given the folders on my home screen and reverts them to 'Folder'. Anyone ever heard of or experienced this problem?

Thanx,

[Defy General] Marcio Santos:
Yes,

I have the same problem with my Defy, after upgrading it to Android 2.2.1 (Official Update from my Carrier)

I also formated the Phone to the "Factory Settings" and also formated the SD Card with no results.

After the reboot, all of the folders get back to the default name "Folder".

There is also another issue with the browser: When I set the initial page to "Blank", after a phone restart it goes back to "Google".

The issue with the folders were solved with a "turnaround": I used the Application "Folder Organizer" that "labels" the applications and let me use these labels like folders on my Android Desktop.

This bug of the folders is also registered at the Google Android forum.

Best Regards,

Marcio.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dweebs0r:
Hello,

I have only had my N1 a few days and I am experiencing what I believe people refer to as "the wonk". What I am looking for is the most stable, rooted rom out there that has no such issues. I just want everything to work.

Should I downgrade back to CM6?

If I downgrade, do I have to change radios and/or HBOOT? I have upgraded these to the latest available.

Thanks for the info.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dweebs0r:
In my opinion, the "dewonkifier" is a band-aide and not a fix. I would prefer the phone have as clean and bug free code as possible.

I'll install CM7 when the wonk issues are corrected.

The gingerbread base doesnt offer enough for me to sacrifice usability of my phone.

I am disappointed that I upgraded from an Aria to an N1 and have to downgrade the software. I expected the N1 to have everything work perfectly since its the original flagship phone for Google.
