before i go to bed i get nerdy and like to see how my battery did for the day because i have a Maxx and i really love the battery life. i've never gotten this much on screen time before and i was just blown away.

normally i hate these threads, but i just had to share.

normall i get about 3-4 hours max for display-on time, but almost 7 hours is blowing my mind!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
Am I the only smartphone user in the world that doesn't spend there entire day staring at there phones screen? I'm at about 20 minutes shy of 3 days (67% remaining) and my screen on time is only 38 and a half minutes, it boggles my mind why someone would browse the web or stream on there phone when there at home with access to a computer.

Smart phones are for when you need internet and your not near, in the same building, as a computer you can use.

Short of screen on Navigation how do you people rack up this many hours of screen on time a day.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
Sounds like SOMEONE'S not getting the full potential out of their phone yet.

How in the high heavens did you get that much screen time on a single charge? The most I have done is about five, and even then my battery was down to 30%.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
I think the real question is how uneventful is that guys life that he spent 12 hours staring at his phones screen in one day.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
Looking at the % of batt used for different apps, I don't see much going on. Makes me itch to do the same benchmark on my slim razr though.

For anyone crazy enough to want to keep your screen on, there's a program to make screen never turn off when tilted, it's called screebl. (make sure stillness timeout is disabled.)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ckochinsky125:
Because some of us do not have access to a computer all day hence what the phone is for...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
This was mainly 3g/4g. The wifi may have been on but I was not actually connected to a network. I'm happy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottjb:
I don't stare at it all day, but here are some examples of why my use might be higher than yours. At work I cannot use my work computer for personal use so I use my phone for that. This includes email, text messages, and any activities during lunch or any breaks. I read news feeds and books on my phone. If I read before I go to bed I do that on my phone too. I use the Kindle app, I do not have a kindle device. At home I will often use my phone for email because it is in my pocket, my computer is not. I play solitaire on the phone too. There are plenty of reasons someone else's use is different than yours.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
Only time I use my computer is to Odin/rsd/ruu etc haha
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
I know my use is well below average but I was primarily referring to the guy that hit 12 hours screen on time in 1 day, but even with all your listed items, that would be what 4-5 hours max? but 12 I just couldn't imagine staring at a screen this size for that many hours in 1 day.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
your gonna wear out your battery long before its time for a new phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottjb:
You are probably accurate. I just checked the screen on time for today and it was about two hours with very light use for me in a day. Four to five hours sounds about right, 12 is a lot. :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nimogrea:
I honestly don't see how your phones are lasting that long with the screen on I'm at about 40% with just barely over 3 hours of screen time. What are your secrets?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
Turn the brightness down as far as you can take it before its to dim for you to read (usually around 20%) and turn off auto brightness, is the most common method of boosting battery life.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nimogrea:
Unfortunately that is what I do, except I have the brightness as low as it will possibly go. :/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
Mine was auto brightness ::beer:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
See what apps are sucking power, you must have something going in the background sucking juice (like facebook) to be getting less then 5 hours screen on time, I could stream netflix over 3G (no 4G in my area yet) and do 5 hours easy.

Couple basic battery tips:

1. Don't use task killer apps (typically they suck more power then they save)

2. Shutdown and restart your phone at least every 2 weeks, more often if your a heavy user (I saw a very noticeable increase in battery life once I started doing that).

3. If you don't care about "push notifications" (ie new emails, facebook and things that require a data connection, you can still check manually you just not get annoying beeps for every junk mail you get) go into your smart actions and choose "battery extender" set it to trigger with screen off only and have it disable background sync and data (shuts off 3G/4G radios) this is a major battery boost for when you phone is just sitting around not doing anything.

Just took a look at my phone and 6% has gone to display and thats at 46 minutes screen on time and I still have 58% battery remaining. running bone stock .181 with ONLY the tweaks listed above.

UPDATE: here's some screens, not the longest screen on time but I thinks its good when you look at how many DAYS the phone was off charger for.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] hotleadsingerguy:
Hey look, another person with misconceptions about Lithium-Ion batteries!

Lithium-Ion batteries don't gain a memory like nickel-hydrate or cadmium. You can keep it plugged in 24/7 with no fear of the battery-life degrading. My Macbook Pro has about a year and a half old and still has 98% battery efficiency.

With Lithium-Ion devices, the battery is always being recycled. It's the reason why sometimes after you unplug your phone/laptop/whatever it's already at 98% or something. The devices constantly recycle the battery charge, which means the battery won't "die out" by being plugged in.

The best thing you can do with a Lithium-Ion battery is keep it plugged in as much as possible. Plug it in every night. Plug it in at lunch. Plug it in while you're driving. After a few years you'll have noticeably better battery life than people that don't. Do a full discharge once every month or every other month (use it until it dies, then charge it to 100% without touching it).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
Li-Ion batteries don't have *the same* memory as NiCad and NiMH batteries, but they do have a memory. Even lead-acid and old carbon batteries have memory.

Li batteries have a limited number of charges. The ratio of charge:discharge is inversely proportional to the number of charges that battery will accept.

They don't like being fully charged and they don't like being fully discharged. Either condition will reduce their lifespan. A lot.

A Li battery, charged to 70%, will last 5-15 years. Fully charged, the battery will last about three years (same as charge/discharge use). Fully discharged, the battery will last about three months.

The above depends on what kind of Li battery it is. The above assumes Li-Polymer flat wrap packs. That's what most phones use now. Next year, we'll see the perforated Li-Poly wrap packs. They charge faster and don't suffer as much from being fully charged/discharged.

The limitations of Li Ion batteries is why electric cars are for those who are really REALLY bad at math; they have a negative EROEI compared with conventional internal combustion cars, and a larger carbon footprint.

Off-topic, kinda:

When I watch a science fiction movie, I always get annoyed by the failure to explain the power source for the cool gadgetry. "I Robot", for example: who cares about the computing engine's "feelings" or the software parameters......what powers that thing?! It's why Star Trek beats Star Wars. Star Trek's writers understand that energy is The Key to everything else.

You can build a "Back to the Future" hoverboard right now. It just has to have a one-inch thick electrical cable connected to it. Even petroleum doesn't have the energy-density required for a device like that.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] m3ta:
Apart from your slaughtering of the words "their","they're", and "there".. to answer you: yes, many people want to know if what they paid for was really worth it.

See it like this: if you see someone buying a Ferrari just for going to the supermarket, wouldn't you find it weird?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
Hey look someone that believes the lies about lithium ion, I've got an old cell phone and two laptop batteries that would argue that point with you, leaving them plugged in all the time is the WORST thing you could do to them. Now it is less of an issue on the RAZR thanks to the Ecomoto charger that actually stops charging the phone at a certain point, but only time will tell how well that system works.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] :
Anyone have screenshots from a GSM Droid RAZR Maxx. I can only imagine it being far better in terms of battery life as it runs on HSPA+ and not LTE.

I'm thinking of picking up a GSM Razr Maxx from Negri soon. Anyone here have one yet? Or is everyone the Verizon version?

Hello,ı have question:Is there any advantage by updating you recovery ?and is cwm can uptadable ?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
CWM advantages:

1. You can make a complete backup of your phone and restore it.

2. You can root your current ROM by flashing the current su-3.0.x.zip

3. You can flash custom ROMs.

Yes CWM can be updated.
[HTC Incredible S] aerosmith:
After connecting the phone to the PC do the following:

1. From PC do adb devices and see that your phone is listed

2. From PC do adb reboot-bootloader. This will boot your phone into the bootloader

3. On the phone select FASTBOOT USB

4. Then continue with the flashing of the recover image

- From PC "fastboot flash recovery <name-of-recovery-img>"

HTH

[Nexus One General] jt.one:
i tried to make a thread in the Q&A section but it has not been appearing.. twice!

my question -

currently on 5.08 radio and want to experiement/try out 5.12 radio

if i do not like it and want to go back to 5.08 can i simply just fastboot flash the 5.08 radio back?

or is there additional steps i must take to downgrade the radio?

if i am unable to downgrade back to 5.08 i dont think i want to flash 5.12 tbh....

thanks in advance!
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
You can flash whichever radio you want. There is no "upgrade" or "downgrade", the system doesn't check versions.
[Nexus One General] cpm:
Funny you mention that. I went from 5.12 back to 5.08 a few days ago. I had a small issue with wifi not reconnecting, and had to disable/enable wifi to reconnect each time.

This is on MIUI GB. Radio 5.08 doesn't experience this issue for me.

Interesting to hear if you experience this too on 5.12
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
WiFi has nothing to do with radio, so whatever it was that you did in addition to flashing radio - like rebooting - more likely cured your phone.
[Nexus One General] soloviyko:
Flashing an unsigned radio will brick your phone RIGHT?:confused:

I had been flashing ROMs, Recoveries, HBOOTs but haven't tried Radios

I want to experiment just don't want to have a BRICK:eek:
[Nexus One General] baseballfanz:
That's why it's best to use fastboot to flash the radio.
[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
baseballfanz is correct

do it thru fastboot, if you are not familiar with fastboot, become familiar before you do it

nandroid

get the radio images from the wiki

i never saw any diff btw .08 and .12

put the radio.img in your adb/fastboot folder on pc, usually tools or platform-tools

fastboot flash radio radio.img where radio.img is exact name of the image file

i check this by right clicking the on the radio.img i put in the tools folder and clicking on properties. it will show you the exact name and i copy/paste it into command window
[Nexus One General] cpm:
I had already tried multiple reboots, fix permissions etc to no avail. It was only when I changed radio that wifi reconnect worked.
[Nexus One General] CrustyMcLovin:
Anyone else have an opinion on .08 versus .12?
[Nexus One General] baseballfanz:
No differences IMO. I was on 5.12 for a long time but went with 5.08 as that's the "official" radio version that came out with GB. Performance wise no different.

Hi there, I am wondering if killing apps that I don't use will increase battery life or just freeing up some RAM?

If it does increase battery life, any app recommendation? I don't need it to auto kill, I can press it each time the phone boot. I tried some already actually, like Advance Task Killer but some apps labelled green can't be killed? I am not sure, I am new to this.

Thanks :)

You don't need a task killer at all, in fact it's better NOT to use one.

Also have a look at this post where I wrote a little about this.

It's not downloading the files... second person it happens to.

If you're going to try downloading them manually, do so from files\files.log and make sure the hashes match those present in that same file, to avoid issues.

Get the ones called openrecovery-twrp-blaze-2.1.1.img and fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin.

Place the downloaded files in recovery (make that folder if it doesn't already exist) with the names twrp.img and fff.bin, respectively.

Or just go with the manual method for rooting: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1568340

And then install TWRP and FFF separately. FFF is particularly important to have an extra layer of protection.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDBeck23:
I am having the same problem. I ran the KFU, it didn't install TWRP or FFF but gave the message at the bottom that SU had been installed.

Couldn't actually use any programs that required root.

I went and tried to run the KFU from C:/ (first mistake, I did not move it to C:/ before executing), but now it does even less than the first time around, it looks like everything is failing.

Also, I downloaded and dropped the TWRP and FFF files in the recovery folder, that appears to work but the MD5 checksums are not adding up. It appears that the KFU cannot find the files.txt to see where to download the recovery files, nor to confirm the checksum.

So I tried to do it the manual way, I can get as far as running the fastboot flash commands. They get "OKAY" for both twrp and fff. Now I am expecting the kindle to reboot, but it just sits there, in fastboot mode. When I try to run a reboot command, it says no device.

Ideas?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dasanko:
Hope you at least checked the hashes first.

Are you going with adb reboot or fastboot reboot? If you're in fastboot mode, "fastboot reboot" is the one to use.
