[Edit:] I've changed the title to reflect 110 hours. The original title and body of post reflected 100 hours, but since then I've added two more screenshots at the end of this post to show 110 hours (4 days 14 hours), and I added a (absolutely horrible) video to show that I'm running a standard battery (not an extended battery). NOTE: When I say the video is horrible, I mean it came out sideways, and is barely readable, and is a ridiculous 29MB in size. But the two added screenshots back up the readings and statements in the video. What follows below is my original post.[/edit]

Hey all, this is probably not any real record around here, but I wanted everyone to know I've just passed the 100 hour mark, running 100% uptime since the last battery charge! :)

Notably, for at lease one-third of the total time, the phone was in an area of poor (or no) signal strength.

For this test, I had wi-fi, mobile internet and GPS all disabled...the only active radio enabled was the telephone voice radio, which was always enabled. I could (and did) recieve calls during the entire time (though I kept the conversations very short).

Here's how I've got my phone set up:

nfinitefx45's stock 2.1 ROM and Darch's Infinitefx_vUV_710 kernel, without freemem tweak (it's not the new vUV2 kernel).

SetCPU, set to 614mhz max and 19mhz min (245 max & 19 min sleep mode), with additional fine-tuning.

AutoKiller, with values I set individually for the different fields (didn't use any of the pre-set options...my settings are probably pretty close to "Agressive", except for the Content Provider value).

I use Advanced Task Killer to kill any apps that I'm no longer using, and I always have. But I've got it set to ignore SetCPU (because I've got a screen-off profile defined and enabled), and also set up to ignore AutoKiller (but I'm not sure if that's really necessary).

Notice the amount of time the phone spends at the different cpu speeds:

Because of the way I've got SetCPU set up, even though I have max speed set to 614mhz my phone rarely runs at that speed...the Powersave bias is set to 125, so most of the time that I'm demanding any real-time performance from my phone, it's actually only running at 537mhz. Likewise, even though screen-off max speed is 245mhz, most of the actual activity in that mode is at 122mhz or 160mhz, again due to the the Powersave bias setting of 125.

Also note that a great deal of time is spent at 19mhz, during both screen off and screen on states. Even so, I experience no noticeable lag, because the phone immediately jumps up to a faster speed as soon as any need arises (such as swiping between screens).

In case you're wondering why some cpu time is showing at 710mhz even though I have the max speed set to 614mhz, remember that I'm running the 710mhz kernel, so while the phone is booting it's running at 710mhz.

I must admit to being miserly in the use of my phone during this test, even though I burned a couple of percent battery downloading the ShootMe screenshot app last night (just so I could provide these pics). And I used EStrongs File Explorer to send the screenshots to my computer over the wi-fi so I wouldn't have to plug in the USB cable. :)

One more thing...I'm not done yet! I'm going to get another screenshot after my Saturday afternoon nap...hopefully I can get 110 hours out of a single charge.

Cheers!
