I gave up on the sd androids and went with a nand build, much more stable much better battery! Research builds READ THE POST and find one folks have the least trouble with.

I am currently using Motoman234's Moto-Mytouch4G V3.3 based on Iced Glacier by teamsilence. Shear brilliance in my opinion! :-) i have tmous as well this nand for me is flawless. Everything works great and my battery will easily last the day. I had been using Darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 but the battery drain was murder. Great build beautiful and feature packed but not usable for me due to enormous battery drain. Ya installing them takes more (install hspl then magldr, then clockwork mod THEN the nand) but well worth the effort plus once all that is done you can change builds easily.

so far the core Droid series is great the v1.4 is fast and stable!! i can get up to 2500 on quadrant scores love it so much
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Actually, if you know what you're doing and make sure there's not anything unnecessarily draining your battery, SD builds and NAND builds have pretty much the same battery life. You may be able to get slightly better battery with nand, but not a noticeable amount. I get 3-6ma battery drain on standby with most SD builds I've used. Performance isn't much different with SD builds, either. Main pros of using NAND is you can use clockwork recovery and can change SD cards while using android. If you're not going to use winmo or wp7, you might as well use NAND android, but if you still use winmo or wp7, it's probably not worth losing those for the small bonuses you get with NAND.

I used NAND android for a month when it was first released, but I'm back to SD builds because I have WP7 on my NAND... and I can notice no difference in the performance and battery life.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] naturesbless:
I am using a SD build and have no problems with it. As long as you're smart with it you will be fine.

To answer the op's question, I would upgrade your radio first. It's too low of a version.

Second, what rom are you using?

It was near the top of my unread threads page? Somebody replied to it, not me and I found that nobody answered the op and were instead discussing the pro/cons of NAND vs SD.

Sorry that I didn't check the date of the thread before posting.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pburstrom:
While I agree SD is better if you want to keep windows I disagree strongly on the battery life, at least on the SD builds I used. I would shut down bg data, wifi, bluetooth, location, and data when it was not in use but still had horrible battery drain (50 to 60 ma sleeping) and could never make a full day with out a charge. Now wifi and bg data stays on always I seldom NEED a recharge most days I can get nearly 2 days out of my battery. I tried different "battery savers" to no avail, applied every patch the developers suggested and researched extensively.

IMO "Know what you're doing" is a rather obnoxious statement.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Horsefly:
In my experience, it seems to depend on the build. It may seem trite, but there are tradeoffs in all the available builds and different people do fine on those that suck juice, because certain features they want are there. I like the SD versions because sometimes I need WinMo, and it's easy to move between them.

Im pretty sure theres nothing like this out there, but i think it would be really cool if you could hide the notification bar and only have it show when you pull it down on the top of the screen. I think it would look much cleaner.

So your screen would look like this:

until you pulled the bar down on the top of the screen.
[Captivate General] Main Target:
There is an action in launcher pro that allows that. Or something similar.
[Captivate General] rajendra82:
There is an ADW.Launcher setting that already allows this. There another setting to hide the dock too.

Back in WM times I used to have my phone connected to the PC via Bluetooth and other than syncing it would also share the internet connection available for the PC.

With Android builds it seems that Bluetooth doesn't function. It can't discover anything, nor it be discovered.

Does anyone have idea how it could be done?

[Touch GSM General] TheTick:
Dear participants,

I've got a question concerning my O2 branded HTC Touch (an Elfin, I guess, because of 128/256 RAM/ROM). I took it with me on a camping holiday to Italy 2 months ago and charged the battery with its standard ac-adapter. The latter was connected via a power strip. After I had charged it, I noticed that the battery went dead fast; it only lasted for about 18h in standby. The phone of my girlfriend (a Nokia 30something) had been charged via the same power strip and the battery wouldn't work at all afterwards.

So my first guess was that somehow the power strip was broken and as a consequence probably charged the battery "wrongly". Back at home I replaced both batteries with new ones. Since that point, the Nokia works perfectly again, but my Touch still only works for 18h even though there is new (original) battery in it.

Any suggestions? There is no mod whatsoever installed and it is the basic WM6.1 system that I am using.

Thanks in advance!!!

Thread moved to Elf section.
[Touch GSM General] TheTick:
Thank you!

I've always confused the two and did not know about the Legacy Devices subfolder.

One piece of information I should add is that my second idea was that my ac addapter was broken so I charged the phone via usb with my computer which, as you might guess, did not effect any difference.

Any ideas? Thank you!
[Touch GSM General] TheTick:
I've downloaded the acb Battery Tester and found out that power usage is about 300 mAh. This seems to be to high when being to what other users have posted (around 170 mAh).

After a soft reset (after haveing installed acb again), the power consumption fell to 225 mAh which is better than what I had before but does not seem to be normal anyways.
[Touch GSM General] ash_ladhwe:
I too have the same problem.Even my reading in acb battery monitor are an average of 225 mAh.Does anybody have a solution?

PS:Im using spb shell.
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
What is it without SPB shell?
[Touch GSM General] ash_ladhwe:
i guess spb shell + overclocking was the problem.
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
Is that because you have disabled that and it is now running at normal? It would be nice to know so that it can help other people in your situation.
[Touch GSM General] TheTick:
Hey you two,

MY touch does not have any extra software or verclocking going on, so I figure that it is defective because of the power cord. Do you think that is possible? Should not the power adapter filter currents that are too high for the mobile?

Cheers...
[Touch GSM General] ash_ladhwe:
Battery is a lot better without overclocking and spb mobile shell.

[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
I keep hearing some people claim how "great" their Vibrant's battery is. I am on my third Vibrant and battery life has been terrible on all of them. Just recently I noticed ~16% of my battery got drained for ~15 minute voice call. (The attached screenshot shows voice call using 27% but at that time my battery was at around 39%, which means the 15 mins took about ~16% total battery.) I just passed my 14-days buyer's remorse, so exchanging it (unless I want a "like new" one) or returning it are not an option. Any suggestions on how to improve battery life? I already keep the brightness on the screen to the lowest it gets.

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] boodies:
Hmm that defintely is not normal. I would check with the store in getting another replacement. 15% drain on 15 min call is not normal for any phone.
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
There is a bug where if you power down the phone while it's charging, then the reported battery % is higher than actual. Perhaps the seemingly fast drain is a result of the reported value "catching up" to the actual level.
[Vibrant General] dcontrol:
Edit: So I figured out where you're getting your numbers :D.

Still doesn't seem right though, did you notice the battery percentage before the call by any chance?
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
My rooted G1 had that same bug. Start charging it, power it down, power up and from completely dead it would show around. 24% in a couple minutes of charging. This phone I've noticed does it as well as newer blackberry's. Bizarre...

What I would suggest is draining the battery till it dies, charge it back up fully and see if you can have it happen again. Could've been a fluke.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
looks like a bad battery reading to me.

Complete charge, complete discharge, and complete charge should reset it.
[Vibrant General] bchalk:
Yeah the percentages do need to be calibrated and sometimes they are off a bit, say 100%-90% actually often goes faster than 80%-70%.

The batteries are also partly responsible since discharge Ah is not a completely linear relationship with voltage (which is why the percentages need calibration).

I would say unless you have a rogue application on your phone eating battery it is more likely just how it is being reported.
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
So if battery A has x% greater mAh than battery B it does not mean A has x% greater battery life?
[Vibrant General] AyanamiZer00:
Yes, if the phones are identical.
[Vibrant General] M5devil:
I'm having same issue. Battery life on my Vibrant is just horrible. I can barely go half a day until it's fully discharged and that's about 30 min talk time an hr maybe browsing apps and internet and a little WIFI/BT. Just for example I charged it after complete discharge and took it out at 11.30 pm last night, drove my brother to the airport and back around 1.30 and while it was sitting in the car and a few calls I made, it already went down to 74%, I purposely left it without charge till morning.... at 8am it was showing 47%... WTF!!

I have rooted the phone with update.zip, I have installed ATK and have Crazy settings on it.... one thing I don't get is that after it kills apps, they keep coming back every few seconds. Also brightness is at the lowest and no live wallpaper...

UltimateJuice by the way is showing 1.58 times, which is BS... right now it's 10.30AM and its down to 38%....

Any help would be appreciated!
[Vibrant General] Chalup:

Vibrant's battery life does suck, even with the supposedly power efficient processor and super amoled!!!!!!

Samsung has some more work to do. Hopefully, the froyo update can alleviate the problem!!!
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
Read this first.

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html

Anytime the screen is on its eating battery. We have the best screen in the market. If you really want a conservative wallpaper use something almost all black or solid black. When a AMOLED screen is displaying black the LEDs are off.

For those "apps that keep showing up" those are due services that are running in the background. If you don't use the app often set the notifications to a lower time or set it to update manually.

If you've rooted there is a thread on "how to keep your phone quick and snappy" read it. Also fix your permissions through recovery. Rogue apps apps can drain battery.

after 3hrs of on & off hard using (minus extra long phone calls >45mins) I can pull 12-16 hours easily on one charge.

Look into things like eugenes vibrant 6 & JACs UV(under volted) kernel.

GL and car chargers are awesome!

[Vibrant General] jesrazo:
Battery life on my Vibrant has been superb. You might need to change settings or something. This screen shot was for today with lots of calls and market shopping and I even watched a movie. I do not use a killer, yes I'm rooted with lots of tweaks to my notification bar. I'm using the spiritbomb lwp and its been great.
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Unfortunately, the battery life on the Vibrant just sucks, compared to the iPhone.

I came to a Galaxy S and a Vibrant form the iPhone 3Gs.

With the same style of usage, the iPhone lasts at least 40% longer than the Galaxy/Vibrant.

I like the phone a lot, but am really unhappy to have to constantly think about how I use it, to avoid it dying on me before the end of the day.

Basically, with moderate use, it will last for a day, but if I go out after work and do a little texting or take a few pictures, it will die before I get home.

12-14 hours is really not good, since with my old iPhone I used to be able to last almost two full days without recharging.

Plus, the blocking of the camera at 15% of battery life is a truly idiotic decision by Samsung.
[Vibrant General] M5devil:
Thanks for your feedback! I am newbie in the Android world, as I come from the Apple planet. It just takes time to get used to it.

[Vibrant General] M5devil:
I am looking into the mod for the notification bar, specifically the battery. I have seen a circle battery with percentage, where do I get one?
[Vibrant General] jesrazo:
XDA is your Friend

Search XDA for all ur app and theme needs, as for the Iphone being better on battery. I dont doubt its better, but from my experience and many family and friends showing me there iphones they are always tethered to a power source. Theres no better test than driving 300+ miles a day every day and coming back to the hotel and seeing my phone tell me i have been using it for 20+ hours and i still have 25% charge. I am constantly using my phone for calls, text, movies and such. Without my phone my wife would probably divorce me lol The amount of travel i do via plane, train and automobile is all the real world facts i need. Vibrant is a keeper.

And under 15% it's not allowing me taking pictures!

[XPERIA X10 General] Findee:
Press the home button. Then the phone call continues but it will be in the notification bar and it will show your home screen.

If this doesn't work for you then it's really too bad as it's the only way.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
I cannot leave the call screen on rooted 24. Pressing menu either does nothing or disconnects the call.

And what is the deal with the screen living? It is just seconds.

On a call related issue, anyone else ever get the phone ring but no way to answer it? It has done this since new, on 16 fw so I know its nothing I've done lol fairly certain it is not a hardware fault as I know others with the same issue around here.

Thanks all..but still no solutions..

The only useful button is the centre button (single square) it took me to the home screen with call showing at the notification bar..but when i clicked on dialer again it come back to the ongoing call..will try certain things after my office n share :)

[XPERIA X10 General] RumpleStealthSkin:
If you're wanting to conference or make another call in the middle of a call, press left button. Bunch of options will show up.
