You say that as if we're supposed to discount his reading. It's uncommon to spend a majority of a day in a place where WiFi is available. For example, I am on WiFi at home, and when I go to work. Times I am off WiFi are when I'm driving to work (40 min each way) and when I'm at gym or the pub (most pubs have WiFi now too).

If you work somewhere that doesn't supply WiFi then that sucks for you, but it doesn't invalidate readings from people that DO spend a lot of time on it. I guess you'll just have to accept the fact your battery life will never be as good as if you were on (a decent) WiFi.

Not everyone is addicted to their smartphones. Nobody needs to justify their ownership of a smartphone to anyone. Nobody NEEDS a smartphone anyway, they are a luxury. We could all do just fine with dumb candybar phones but we choose to add luxury and functionality at the (costly) expense of battery.

I "solved" my battery problems.

At issue is poorly/non Android 4.0 optimized apps.

Just reset your phone to stock. Run only stock apps.

Don't install any apps. You will notice a vast improvement in battery life.

I have the Verizon LTE/CDMA phone running 4.02. Before. I would have my usual apps (yahoo mail, epocrates, banking apps, where's my droid, ebay, amazon , finance etc). I restore phone without any of these apps.

So with my 20-30 apps installed I was draining 10% per hour on LTE and 5-7% per hour on wifi. I would literally get about 8 hours of real time total cell time (maybe 2 hours of actual phone use) before phone would be dead on wifi and 6 hours total use (1-1.5 hours of real use) on LTE. GPS/Bluetooth off.

Now after only running stock apps (not other apps installed). I get 16 plus hours total cell time and 4 plus hours cell phone use on wifi and my battery is has 30% remaining before I got to bed. All on 3G CDMA. And I get 16 hours/3.5 hours real use on LTE and battery down to 10% before going to sleep and charging it.

Plus I used 30 minutes of GPS Navigation for commute home.

I haven't tested it on mainly wifi use yet. That will be a test run I will do tommorow.

So the real issue is hardly any of the apps in Android market are"optimized" for Icr cream sandwich.

Google needs to take control of these poorly written apps causing the android system to wake itself up. Now my main battery consuming time is with the screen on. Before it was Android Os
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rman18:
I installed AOKP 19 (LTE) the other day and my battery life has been awesome since... maybe I haven't reinstalled one of the offending apps or maybe the clean install just helped it out..

I really don't know, but my screen off time has doubled... screen on time is just slightly better but I still get 2.5 to 3 hours which is sufficient.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aneftp:
I think the issue poorly written offending apps.

Sad. But I am slowly installing each "offending app" to figure out what's causing the battery drain. So far I know where's my droid is a big issue. Plus Yahoo mail is drainingy battery. The banking apps are fine was long as you log out after using and "force stop". Kinda of pain to have to figure out what's causing the battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angeluszero:
Just want to give you guys an update. I flashed Franco's kernel nightly13 today i am at 80% after 3 hours.

I watched a 5 min youtube video, i read a few e-mail and the rest of the time it stayed on my desk.

screen time is 31min and OS i got CPU total 17min, keep awake 1h 6min.

I downloaded CPUspy but not sure how to read the info in there and what to look for. IS my keep awake time too high? i find it weird that it dropped 7.5% per hour doing nothing at all when some people claim it is 1.5% per hour for them.

I got my work e-mails and calendar syncing to my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angeluszero:
After doing some testing it seems like the screen is what is eating all the battery. I'm quite confused as I thought oled was better then LCD on the battery. Anything else I can do besides lowering the brightness?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikeairj:
Well, some people don't use their phones much during work. I am one of them and from the time of the screenshot, the night wasn't over yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
it was a trick and marketing gimmic. AMOLED is actually far worse on battery than LCD simply because white colors use more than 5x more power than an LCD. yes black colors use less, but the average content we view is white, white webpages, white gmail, etc. so its burning that screen up with power draw.

LCD on the other hand is a constant power draw no matter what, nice and steady and even.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
You don't think it has anything to do with having to power 2x as many pixels?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HotShotAzn:
Get an app called "System Panel" and enabled monitoring. Charge your phone to 100% and unplug before you go to bed.

Check it in the morning. You can see what apps are draining your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
that surely has an effect too. but looking at previous generation of amoled phones with 800x480, every one had worse battery life over their LCD counterparts.

take a look at anandtech's battery chart section. i **** you not, every. single. phone. with amoled is at the bottom with 4 hours, and every LCD phone is at the top with 8-10 hours. it's almost perfectly segregated the results are so dramatic. oh well though i still take amoled anyday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mooread:
My battery was awful on stock. I was making it until about noon and having to charge. I put on AOKP TORO MILESTONE 2 and now my battery is amazing. Same usage with the same start time this morning and I'm at 50% and its almost 5pm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angeluszero:
I'm on AOKP too with Franco kernel and while the battery is much better lately, it is still not what I would call good enough. If I don't touch my phone much then sure it will last a long time but if I play with it it still drops too fast.

My iPhone 4 by comparison would be a 62-64% after a whole day of usage from 8am to 9pm.

I think I'll buy the 2000mha battery. From the reviews It is exactly what I need.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angeluszero:
Been on one charge for a day now at 27% it looks like it was probably a bad app, scotiabank banking app was the bad app for me.

I'm on aokp and Franco kernel which helped a lot too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RaubRaux:
The extended battery is worth the money. Especially when it goes for 25
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angeluszero:
I thought it was 50$?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bonekeep:
Currently half price. Just got one for $25.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angeluszero:
Just saw them at 50$ on eBay. Are u sure yours is genuine? Does it have the nfc chip?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aohus:
extended battery has been at half price since it was first announced. yes, they are legitimate. try to buy the extended at the verizon store for $25. could possibly work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angeluszero:
I'm in Canada so I think I need to go buy it on eBay dunno of any place selling then here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikeairj:
Care to share where you guys got the extended battery for $25? Does it have NFC built-in? Does it also include the battery cover?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
From verizon stores and yes it has nfc and a back cover
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mustafaluigi:
Verizon GN, running AOKP 19, Franco 13.1, updated radio. My phone will eat through battery at about 10% an hour while sitting in my pocket without any screen time. I have the horrible keep awake problem and nothing is fixing it. I would kill for half of the battery life people are complaining about. EDIT: just charged to 100% and left over night, died 7.5 hours later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
You have some app killing you... Maybe push email? Or a messenger app? Did you open the camera app and close it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
Would have better stats but I forgot to turn wifi off when I went to work and it was eating away searching for the connection lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet11:
I'll have to remember not to open an account at Scotiabank ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
what kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mustafaluigi:
That is on a fresh install, no apps installed except CPUSpy. I disable G+, Talk, uninstall currents, disable DRM crap, open camera and back out, enable BT and then disable it, have wifi sleep thing turned to never (to sleep when screen off) I have screen tap and lock sounds turned off. I have tried every home remedy that I have seen on some forum, all tried after a fresh rom bake. I tried using the kernal that comes with aokp, aokp with franco, i tried gummy, i tried other roms. Nothing has fixed it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crittias:
Just got a GSM GNex for my wife yesterday. So far it's been on battery for 20 hours and is still at 69%. Very light use, with a mix of wifi, edge, & 3G, a few phone calls, some browsing, some app downloads, and some emailing. I'm sure things will change when the phone sees more extensive use, but I'm still absolutely ASTOUNDED by the battery life so far. Obviously one day (or less) of ownership isn't enough to come to a substantive conclusion, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the phone keeps performing like it has so far. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kechurchill:
Ok, I think I found a partial culprit - Google maps.

When you exit from google maps you can see it's still 'running' in the running apps list, and it *does* have an impact on battery.

I know this because I had nothing running and a nice gentle battery drain. I then opened maps, looked something up. An hour later I looked at the drain and it had become sharper from the moment I opened google maps. I then force closed it, and left it for another hour, and the rate of discharge had reduced to the same rate as before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
It does keep performing that way. I used to charge my Vibrant every night, now with the Gnex I usually only charge every other day (depending on my usage, of course). Either way, I'm pretty sure that most battery life complaints about the Gnex are from Verizon LTE users.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
And with an NFC antenna!

Oh wait...have you actually tested to see if it works?

Hello everyone.

This is my performance that i want to show you all.

It' for a contest where you can choose one 3 tracks and play your instrument making a video of your performance.

In every track you can find drums,bass guitar and rhythmic guitar.. so even if the contest is created specially for guitar player I choose the bass guitar because I'm a bass player!! LOL

For this contest I've played my bass guitar and put the effect bass synthesizer (boss) and I sing also a little part.. more rhythmic than melodic!

Please see my video and i will be glad if you give me an opinion about it.

(If you like my performance please put "like" under the video! This "likes" are like votes for this contest.. please.. help me to have more votes!)

Hey guys, today I got the notification from samsung kies that a firmware update was available, so I performed the update, but I was surprised that the update was the 2.3.6 version, because a week or two ago I read somewhere on internet that referred to 2.3.6 as a samsung value pack for galaxy s, but I found no value pack features on my phone. Anyway there are some changes, the phone runs very well and there are some cosmetic changes. Anyone else got this update? Any idea when we will get the official value pack for galaxy s.

Click on the filefactory link in the first post. These are the newest available RUU.

From your location tag, since ur from UK, the RUU roms available from the link above are only for Three_UK, TMobile_UK and Orange_UK.

As a reminder rooting and downgrading after the repairs from these RUU will require a goldcard, the warranty repair center will upgrade your rom anyway to the newest version anyways as per their procedure.

The ACE Hack tool return to stock above only works for for AT&T, Telus and WWE CID HTC__001.

Hi guys!

Well after trying and trying I didn't find any solution about the random reboots. So I thought I go back to the begin.. So I used a RUU install was flawless, but after an hour or so my phone reboots again and 30 minutes ago too.

So please can anybody help me?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
Sounds like a detective phone. Mine never reboots unless I reboot it.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
The first thing I'd check is the battery. Is it physically loose in the housing?

Doesn't have to be very loose. All it needs to do is break contact with the copper pins for a half a second and the device will shut off.

Here's the other question. When you say it reboots, do you mean it shuts down through the normal "Phone is now shutting down" process? Or does it like go instantly off and then reboots?

If it's instantly off and then reboots, the battery thing is the mostly likely problem.
[HTC Sensation] tommeke19:
Yes, thanks!

I've removed my backcase and touched the battery and it shuts off (i have not a really reboot, it just shut off)

But wht can I do about it?

Thanks

EDIT:

I've put a little piece of paper between the battery and the cover so the battery is pushed harder to the connectors.

It's looks and feels alot harder to get it out now. I hope this will work.
[HTC Sensation] tommeke19:
I will try this now and will give you more info tomorrow ;-)
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Glad I could help.

The lesson to be learned here is to always check the stupidest thing first, before you spend hours changing ROMs or looking for rogue apps. :D

You need to be sure you're fixing the looseness properly though. If the wiggle is side to side or up and down in the battery housing, the paper trick along side of the battery should work perfectly.

If it's wiggling forward as though it's trying to fall out of the housing, the paper trick works but you want to be careful not to pile 3-4 sheets thick of paper on top of the battery. That's just going to act as thermal insulation and will help the battery retain heat (not a good thing).

It won't catch the paper on fire. But it'll wear the battery out faster.

Instead you might try to put something that gives the battery more pressure against the back cover in a small area. Maybe try those little foam sticker circles that are on the bottom of things to keep them from scratching the table. (look under a lamp or something that like). They are thing pieces of felt that aren't real thick, but prevent a heavy metal object from sitting directly on a table.

A small one of those would stick right to the inside cover of the phone, put pressure on the battery, and not cover a large portion of the battery that would retain heat.

try cleaning the battery contacts and make sure the contacts in the phone are not bent.

First, i'ts the lack of support for the sensation. Power button issue, never really fixed? Battery problem is STILL there. Not as fast as a SG2. Also the build quality is nice, but doesn't hold long. The volume button is very loose, and some byers have experenced that it will fall off. Also there is that "crack" sound, when you push the buttom of the sensation. The sound of somthing not fitting. Also the audio problem, when recording.

Whatsoever, there were alot of threads with this theme (Sensation vs SGSII or goodbye Sensation etc...), and it always turns into bad argue between 2 sides (often without arguments from each side)..
