[XPERIA X10 General] Cebees:
Hi all,

Just bothering with battery consumption for a while.. I'm getting fun now. So I want to share something first.

In this thread, instead of showing how to save the battery usage, I will focus on the statistic figure.

To be easy to read, read this instruction first :D

all units are in 'percent/hour'

That's mean

16.7% = 6 hours.

8.33% = 12 hours.

4.16% = 1 day.

2.08% = 2 days.

1.04% = 4 days.

So compare by yourself.

Some Legends

ATK = Keep using of Task Killer from Time to Time (Not automatically)

2G = GSM

3G = WCDMA

SetCPU = Software that automatically reduce CPU frequency when not-in-need.

JD = JuiceDefender

Color

Green = Data has good repeatability, or in easy word; you can trust it.

Orange = Bad repeatability, use as guide only.

Red = Just draft one, too small sampling

Not-in-use (leaving in sleep state)

2.39% = 3G + SetCPU + ATK

3.03% = 3G - SetCPU + ATK + JD

2.45% = 3G + SetCPU - ATK + JD

3.17% = 3G + SetCPU - ATK + JD (Leave some CPU eater behind)

1.20% = 2G + SetCPU + ATK + JD

0.60% = Flightmode + ATK + SetCPU +JD

6.36% = Leaving droid in-charger after it's full, (Flight Mode):eek::eek::eek:

2.57% = 3G + SetCPU + ATK + JD + Bluetooth (Unpair)

3.71% = 3G + SetCPU - ATK + JD + Bluetooth (Paired)

In Use (in most case, + 3G - SetCPU + ATK + JD)

13.04% = CALL

16.04% = Music via Ex-Speaker

14.04% = Music via Ex-Speaker (2G)

11.80% = Music via Bluetooth

8.54% = Music via 3.5" port.

22.22% = Heavy 3D game

24.80% = Wifi Tether (Barnacle)

14.89% = Web, common

In term of Signal Strength, not-in-use state

2.8-5.5% = 3G, v.bad signal, (0-1 bar)

1.7-2.8% = 3G, good signal (2-3 bars)

1.2-1.7% = 3G, v.good signal (3-4 bars)

0.9-1.3% = 2G, good signal (2-3 bars)

0.7-0.9% = 2G, v.good signal (3-4 bars):eek::eek::eek:

Few Executive Conclusion :eek:

SetCPU DOES help, but not that big deal.

ATK DOES help, remember that droid can handle memory very well, but still not to CPU. some S/W with CPU consumption can still make it worse. So best keep killing it from time-to-time, may be just before long sleep.

2G DOES give a big difference, in both term, 2G technology give less bandwidth but also require less effort to maintain connection.

Don't leave your droid in the charger after fully-charged. :rolleyes:

Signal Strength gives BIG difference, if your location is not in good signal coverage, switch to 2G might helps.

BTW, for all the further question.

I'm using a veteran x10, second handed, with heavily damaged battery (I guessed 70-75% efficiency) on the very first day I could survive only 4 hours with full charged (no doubt why I could buy it very cheaply :D), well... now 2 days with moderate use. :rolleyes:.. with above figure, I can live 5-6 days if I want (to use it as a brick...)

I use phone as a PHONE. So, all synchronization, screen brightness, is not reduced.

My JuiceDefender just use the default setting, nothing special.

My SetCPU only effects sleep mode.

My Song Player is TuneWiki

My Home is ADW from Market.

Root, unroot, just don't care.

And yes, it's 026.

I just hope my number can make you figure out, what happen to your phone.

Any curiosity, you can ask me to do a favor.

Have a nice (battery) day.
