Lol sounds exactly like my usage.. I don't follow? Tethered to a wall? If you're referring to webtop I don't miss it one bit... And yes I troll the atrix forums frequently... I sold mine to my friend so sometimes I check on progress. And am I wrong about the tegra 2 vs exynos thing? Honestly i've heard arguments for both sides but wouldn't mind another opinion. Sorry to hijack.
[Galaxy S II General] bandzo87:
Lol, you realy don't use your phone so much :).

Phone calls 4%, display 24%???

I bet your display isn't have "'time on" bigger than 1:30h :)
[Galaxy S II General] pukemon:
Id like to see you get 7h screen time trying to run the battery down like I did. Using the full spectrum of at least stock cpu frequencies and any uv enhancement you can find. Without tethering to a wall socket. But in real usage, over a 15 hour span, I get 5+ h screen time, with texting, heavy cell data, wifi after work, occasionally game at work and I slap my phone on my charger when I goto bed with ~30% left. I am.seriously doubting the gs2 could make it through my work day without tethering to a wall BEFORE I leave work. Atrix > gs2. And the atrix has terrible, I mean terrible standby time compared to gs2. But I use my phone enough I don't have worry about that. I guess being a super user you can appreciate that, huh?

I don't know which is better. Honestly don't care. They are very comparable chipsets.in comparison. Tegra2 sips juice better looking at the voltages needed to run exynos and the mali400 is 65nm. The only standout the gs2 has, and its not the chipset, its the hardware acceleration. Yes, some of us envy that. Bfd. I also only paid $500 for my phone including a sim unlock code. There is still a $200 price difference between these phones currently and the unlocked gs2 isn't that compelling for some people. I am eyeing the atnt version though. If the bootloader is unlockable on it and most or all development is compatible with it i might hit my atnt friend up to get me unsubsidized gs2 with employee discount.

I voided my warranty and your mum.

[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
My phone has been on without any kind of charge for 21h, 3h screen on time, 1h of baseball superstars 2, 15 mins of shadow guardian, a few mins of other games, some calls, a few sms, and i have 35% left. I can post screens if needed.
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
Yes please, do it and also post the screenshot of the "display" stats.
[Galaxy S II General] tomeks:
on the official kg5 (yes for Poland 2.3.4 is official) battery is exactly the same as for kf2 rom( 2.3.3) with the exact same setup

sent from my GalaxyS2
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
There you go, and im on CM7 so no undervolting. With undervolting, I can push this to 5-6h screen on time.
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
Tomeks, could you tell us if the tedious "wi-fi sharing" bug, or watever it is called, is still present on stock rom 2.3.4? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
@ Post 27: LOL. I hate to bump into posts, but without any sort of UV or UC or any damn kernel you will get same/more Display On that. Also seems the Mobile Network was off during 22 hours.
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
Nope, I tried it personally. With the STOCK samsung firmware, I get 8h max (no UV), with average use. With Ninph 2.0.2+Revolution ROM (undervolted), I get 2 days+ with average use, and with CM7 I will get around 1 and a half day with average use (no UV).

I dont see where you see mobile network being off. It was on the whole time.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Then you have some problem. I or most of the users with KF3 ROM get/should get 2 days of Standby time with 5+ hours Display On time.

And I've never seen a faded yellow bar as signal. Mine is always Green/Yellow (not faded).
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
Because we're not using the same rom. My signal was on. And when I see screenshots of 2 days + 5h display on, we can argue.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
LOL I am bored with that and already posted a few times on this forum itself. Don't know how to find it in this big a$$ forum but I did find one posted on another forum, by me.

I hope you have the idea that with 16% juice I can get 38 minutes which is due to 5 hours.

Oh that time I didn't know about BBS and had unnecessary wake ups due to some needless processes like Latitude and else.

This is after some hard use of the phone that I can remember.

Don't worry, as I am back on CF kernel I can post 5+ hours Display On usage continuously now.
[Galaxy S II General] pukemon:
i saw screen shots. i forgot total time but it was close to 2 days or at i think and ~5.5-5.75 hours. but hardly pushing the phone. i'm waiting to see gs2 users get 5+ hours pushing the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] ChongoDroid:
7 hours screen on time wow that's impressive, I usually get about 4.. Lol I don't have to connect until bed so its a serious improvement from previous handsets (milestone, n1) where I'd have to charge immediately after getting home. I remember the common thought was that these dual core handsets would be battery killers when in reality they've really out done themselves. I can't ask for more then a day of usage without worrying. With gmail, Facebook twitter, gplus all synced every 15 minutes its incredible. I agree the tegra 2 and exynos are very close... Hell my tegra 2 in my Xoom just screams at 1.5GHz and is completely stable.
[Galaxy S II General] pukemon:
has anybody made any discoveries on the chip samsung uses for display? amoled doesn't have backlight, but there still might be some tinkering to be had to improve display time. i bet current can be lowered and most people can use a dimmer display at work/home, basically common environments. we're hoping our standby/wakelock issues are addressed soon. between all the tweaks currently, in development the atrix could possibly make it two days of moderate use. that includes about 3 hours display time both days. that would be freaking awesome.
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
:confused:

What world is this guy in, I didn't realize that people still use the Atrix.

Mr. Pukemon, get out from under that rock as soon as possible for your own good and stop embarrassing yourself, better battery life does not make the Atrix a better phone, else I would say that my blackberry is better than than my SGS2.

And just do some searching on the Interwebs, the SGS2 is the best phone on planet earth right now, nobody wants an Atrix, people are talking about the SGS2 in the many forms and fashions, different shape, size and speeds and you speak about the Atrix. Sorry for my rant, I just hate to see people over rate a device, just because they are stuck with said device.

Back on track, KG5 seems to have better battery life than KG7 IMO, though they are supposed to be the same ROM, with minor changes to account for the differences in regions. I usually get close to 2 days on KG5 whereas I was getting 30 hours on KG7. My usage patter is very sporadic though.

But as someone said earlier, battery life is indeed sporadic, not only because of the condition of a battery, but also due to the usage patterns of the owner and the conditions, e.g temperature.
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
Ok. Good result but credible, due to the phone draining almost nothing in idle mode, and your phone having been in such state most of the time.
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Really, people don't want the phone, have you started climbing from under the rock, do you need a rope.

How do you account for the phone's success, if you compare the sales numbers for the Atrix against the SGS2, I am sure you would find quite a difference, and that difference must have a tangible reason behind it.

Do you care to provide us with an explanation.

Persons like me did a weeks of research before purchasing this device, persons like me would have eliminated the Atrix as a contender very, very early in that research, persons like me knew the the pros and the cons of this device before they had it in their hand, persons like me knew the potential this device had with support from the dev community and an unlocked bootloader (out of the box), persons like me is wondering why a dude with a an Atrix is in the SGS2 forums trying to convince persons like me that an ATRIX :eek: is better.

Persons like me would realize that I would no longer respond to a dude with an Atrix in the SGS2 forums for fear of becoming a person like YOU:cool:
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
The one thing I'm curious about is how long you've had the phone. I only ask because I was appalled by battery life when I first got the phone, but I charge all night most nights, and I found that after about 2 weeks the battery life had about doubled.

Also, I was on KE? when I first got it. I'm now on KG2 and again, the battery life almost doubled. Admittedly I'm not a particularly heavy user, but with moderate use I've had 3 days without charging, and I was obviously very happy with that. If I just use it as a phone it certainly lasts longer than any of my old dumb-phones used to. If I use it to watch films and play games then it's obviously a different story, as with any device.

So, back to my original question, how long have you had the phone?

[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
No it wasn't, not on stock ROM with no UV. ithehappy: that's not a stock ROM you're using there, so those screenshots not only mean nothing, but you're FAR from 2+ days with 6h screen on, which I've done easily (and posted screens of) with Revolution + ninph kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Lol. It was about 5 + hours screen on time, not six hours. And my screen shot was just 7 hours away from 2 days.

And what's KF3? A Custom ROM? Jeez!

I simply don't believe you that you got 6 hours Screen On time with 2 days Standby time. Now don't post a screen shot of continuous usage, that could be almost 7 hours or more.

Besides, who is gonna see what you do for test, with a Black background god knows how long the screen will be on!
[Galaxy S II General] lynzoid:
Lads.. For me the 'drainer' was GTalk auto-logging in. I disabled it and now i cannot drain my batt..

Usually it now lasts for 25+ hours (wifi on, gps on, sync on, auto brightness).

I found out about GTalk using betterbatterystats (thanks to author!).

I'm still on KG2 and now i'm happy.

Previously i was struggling to get 12 hours out of battery.
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
Believe what you want, apparently you're good at that...
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Why don't you admit that you lied? Otherwise post screen shot, no one gonna believe you without it.
[Galaxy S II General] milezmilez:
You guys are seriously making me jealous, I have an HTC Desire. I am contemplating on buying a Galaxy S2... battery is very important to me as I'm always out and about. Is it really that good?
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
I've already posted screenshots of this in other topics, screenshots YOU asked for btw. Are you blind?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Where? All I find is those benchmark shots, which are pretty useless.
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
Better than my previous DHD. Yes battery is fine on this phone. Heavy usage with screen on time of average 4.5 - 5 hours can last around average 14-15 hours on a single charge. Yesterday I had just over 5 hours screen on time with 14 hours on battery.

Minimal usage you can easily get 2 days. My usage varies but on normal working days I can get through 2 working days and charge on second working day night. This is with light usage, screen on usually around 2 - 3 hours and push emails and such.

Oh and this is on custom kernels and custom FW. I don't bother with stock so don't know how stock lasts.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
@m2smoe :So where is that imaginary 7 hours Screen on time with 2 days Standby time?

To all, if anyone of you got 7 hours Screen on time with 24+ hours of Standby time post it here. Even 6 hours will do, but the Standby has to be 24+ hours.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
You are such a child. That's twice you ask me for the same screenshots. I'll redo 24h uptime + 7h screen on and post when done then.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
LOL, if you have really posted that already then you don't have to redo but just to copy that link here!

LOL again.
[Galaxy S II General] cigaro78:
He may be a bit aggressive in his post, but he has a point. 7h on screen with activity in itself is unheard of (by the way use betterbatterystats to get that data easily).

In fact, there is a thread out there with someone who has left a phone on, with a white background, NO processing activity except the usual background stuff from STOCK - and tried all sorts of rom. They all topped at 5h30 or so.

That's just displaying a white background, not stressing the CPU, the 3g, wifi, BT etc. You're saying you can have the screen on for 7 hours WHILE using all this AND have 18hours of standby on top. You can see why some people might be a bit cynical :)
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
@m2smoe:

Shame on you.
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
Wow, you must be blind then. Go back to that topic with the guy testing with white background, and read the whole thread. Tons of users with 7h+ in there.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17062627&postcount=269

this guy got over 2 days uptime with 3h screen on time for one.

Here are my own screenshots with 7h+, 14h total, 30% battery left (meaning I could easily go past 24h total with 7h+ screen on time, considering the battery drains 5-10% maximum during a 10h period on deep sleep:

If you don't want to believe it thats fine with me, but the proof is here. Period. ithehappy: you are a child, and if you keep this attitude up, there's no doubt you're going to end up in trouble with the mods here.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I said you are a liar, should have said a clever liar.

That screen shot of 7 hour Display On time is non sense. Why? Because you kept the display on, with a black background, for continuous period of 7 hours, then you stopped using and let the phone rest for another 7 hours, that made it 14 hours. That's nothing but the benchmark test you did with Screen on widget and didn't let the screen to go off.

I posted the same test result, which was of 6 hrs 30 mins Display On time, with my Stock ROM and CF kernel.

Thank you, you mind your own business, otherwise it's you who will be in trouble with mods, not me.

STOP LYING, that's all I can say.

PS- I've edited your screenshots and shown what you did. I know, some new users might get confused, edited for them.
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
What's your point? The fact is, the screen was ON for 7 hours, and the phone could easily go past 24h total, which is the subject of this argument. Also, I did not have a black background, WIFI was on the whole time, and I did a little browsing and calling, which is normal use for a CELLPHONE.

You're not happy? That's nice. The fact is, you said 24h + 7h screen on is impossible, I just proved it's not. You can try to spin this anyway you want, make your angry little red text sentences like the 12yr old child you probably are, but the screenshots are the proof, period.

That's what you asked for. Cry all you want about it. To be honest, I don't even know why I'm arguing with you. You've been shunned by pretty much the whole forum in every thread you've posted because you clearly have no understanding how modern electronics work. You should take people's advice and stop making a fool of yourself, because you're only making it worse.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Enough of your rubbish. You did not make any Voice Calls, otherwise it will be listed under battery usage chart. And Internet is at 2%. That's hardly 5-10 minutes of web surfing if not less.

Saying again, 7 hours Screen On time with 24+ hours Standby time with Normal usage is IMPOSSIBLE.

Whatever non sense screenshot you are providing no one is gonna believe you.
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
Of course it's possible. Call it nonsense as much as you want, your meager understandings of how this device actually works goes to show anything you say is complete bollocks. No matter if you put it in color and bold it.

In this very own topic I posted screenshots of 22h uptime, 1h baseball superstars 2, with 3h screen on time, and 35% battery left. That means that without alot of use (internet browsing for example), I could easily get 6h screen ON time including 1h gaming, 2-3h browsing internet, and 24h total uptime. Oh, and guess what, that's with CM7 so no undervolting/overclocking, which means I can probably do even better with proper setCPU settings.

Screens are here:

So please, keep crying, you're really giving me a good laugh :D

[Motorola Photon 4G] Chrisda19:
So I'm having a rather odd issue with my Battery status..I know my battery is good, but I don't think it's good enough to be at 80% for 4 hours whilst using the phone regularly. In essence what I'm saying is that my battery doesn't go under 80% on the indication icon up top nor on any battery status app.

Does anyone know anything of this issue or have an idea of how to fix it? I'm not rooted (anymore), have completely stock everything.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:
If running stock...the Moto battery indicator only shows increments of 10%, SO 90...80...70 ETC.

See what it drops to next...70%?

Otherwise seems about right, unless you're streaming / gaming etc.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Chrisda19:
Yup it dropped to 70% Is there a way to change it to be more within around 5% per tick? Or am I stuck at 10 per tick.

[HTC Sensation] vcurbel:
First of all, Thanks to all HTC Sensation's Rom developers. We have quite a few. HTC Sensation is as of now one of the most supported devices…kudos to them...It is really appreciated.

I am just tester that switched from iphone(got sick of it) to Android about 1-1/2 to 2 years ago. I started with the amazing HTC HD2, then HTC Desire Z(t-mobile G2), T-Mobile LG-2X, and now the powerful HTC Sensation.

I have always looked for the best battery developed rom offered. For example on HTC HD2 , I could not find any better than Hyperdroid from pongster, or Virtuous on G2, Eagleblood on LG2X. These are just my modest opinion

I have tried about 10 different ROMs on my Sensation and so far the best I have found battery wise is Insertcoin….(as I said it is just my opinion). Insertcoin is fine and 40 to 50 % better compared to stock, but it does not compare to the battery life I was getting from Hyperdriodv11 from pongster (which with normal use lasted 1 1/2 to 2 days, on heavy use lasted the entire day). INSERTCOIN give a good 14 to 16 hours (normal use) which I cannot complaint about it, but o when I have heavy use I need to charge it at least once or twice a day.

I have only one Sensation and I have tested quite a few roms but no all. There are about 30 to 40 out there. I am posting 33, sorry if a miss others. I have tested quite a few so far would like to share my experiences, but I would also like other member opinions which may help me and others to make their best pick.

This a bashing or a pissing contest..it is just your opinion please be gently

[HTC Sensation] rahvan:
Not all SOCs are created equal

I have tried the following ROMs so far and have monitored battery usage on them with the Current Widget and logs.

1. ARHD 4.1.6

2. InsertCoin 3.4.4

3. Reverted AOSP

4. MIUI.us Latest

My best battery usage (lowest under 10Ma) is with InsertCoin's ROM. The other ROMs showed heavy battery drain(even without any other apps except stock), particularly with ARHD and Reverted AOSP. ARHD and AOSP use custom kernels unlike InsertCoin which uses stock by default. I don't however think the problem is with the ROM or Kernels. My phone SOC just cant seem to handle undervolting or any other kernel mods very well.

I love InsertCoin. VERY useful additions/changes from stock. I also love the speed on ARHD. Tough decision between the two but the battery life was the clincher so sticking with InsertCoin for now. I love the simplicity of MIUI but too many FCs at the moment. InsertCoin has been the most dependable ROM for my phone.

I am also going to try ARHD with some other kernels and see how that works.

Like I said, not all SOCs are created equal so mileage WILL vary. This poll is at best some kind of starting point for the battery conscious.
[HTC Sensation] kooskoos1814:
