This is a screenshot I just took with ShakeAndSave:

You can see some things in the BattClock area:

4.0g means "4 giorni", that is four days of battery life since last battery swap

195@ means 195 minutes of "CPU time", since last battery swap

143£ means 143 minutes of display time since last battery swap

Alas, I have no easy way to track phonecall time since battery swap, if someone knows a registry keys that does that I'd appreciate (there's none under HKLM\System\Uptime).

Some facts: I own a total of 4 batteries for this device, the one currently inside the phone is the original one that came with it, the other three are chinese clones which stand on their own feet not bad at all.

I run the batteries to at least 10%, never lower than 5%, before swapping them with the next one (I have them numbered) to even the cycles.

In this run I had a normal work routine use: probably total 30 minutes of calls, regular use of calendar, database, phonebook, data transfer and synchs with PC, some pictures, under 1hour of manga reading, today I've been playing around with new ringtones, alarm every morning, phone and radio always on.

Display backlight is set to the minimum necessary to comfortably read the screen, I use Lumos, and I am during almost all the time inside a building.

So even if I pay attention to reduce battery drain the most, I still "use" it all the time.

As a comparison, in continuous video playback I get about 4hrs of Frasier episodes, listening with headphones.

What's the best you've got form this device?
[HD2 General] OrionCarl:
I can sqeeze 3 days, but its down to 3-4% thats with txting internet playing games
[HD2 General] Aevum:
how do you get it to show mA ?
[HD2 General] ephestione:
as said in first post, I use battclock

@OrionCarl

not bad with that kind of usage ;) I rarely connect to the internet
[HD2 General] OrionCarl:
yeah, im happy with that!dont understand how people can only last a day!

I have to connect, cant go without my weather updates!:D
[HD2 General] ephestione:
hah! ;)

Well I cannot manage to get rid of sense, because without it there would be no way to have a quicklinks set like CHT's. Otherwise I'd save 60MB worth of ram, and some battery drain as well
[HD2 General] cisx:
Hi,

Ciao,

whit your stock Rom and Radio, how long did your battery?

con la tua Rom originale, quanto durava la batteria?

Thanks

Grazie
[HD2 General] ephestione:
You mean the original stock rom? It's been ages that I started using AxLor roms, and the original rom was on when I was still learning to use this phone, so I did a lot more things than I do now and drained more power. As far as I can remember anyway, should have been 2 days. Newer radios improved the battery life notably, 2.12 and especially 2.14
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
LOL we've got three aliens living on mars :D

well u shouldn't be using an HD2 :P
[HD2 General] ephestione:
My thoughts exactly :p

Anyway I'm running fine this time as well, with my second battery, the first chinese I bought.

I have 39% battery left, and 2.9days runtime on my back, so it's another 4day-er for me :D

That fourth option was actually a troll-trap, since achieving more than 4days (on a normal 1230mAh battery that is) is impossible unless leaving the phone in standby is almost all you do... and in that case owning an HD2 is a waste of money ;)
[HD2 General] joshoon:
My battery can hold my HD2 on his feets for 4-5 days.

This was a whole different story before!

I got my HD2 from my brother, the reason why he gave it to me was because he hated it because of the worst battery life.

He had to charge it every single day.

When I got it from him, I had the same problem.

I charged it in the night, and in the begin of the evening, I had to charge it again, when I didn't even used it so much!

Later I bricked my HTC HD2 (not with upset ofc) with the HSPL things.

It went for repair, and when I got it back... the battery lives for 4-5 days.

Of course it depends on the use ofcourse, but right now, I update my weather and Twitter every 2-3 hours, and I txt sometimes, and sometimes a call, and I use my camera time to time.

With this use... it can live for like 4 days.

And if I would use it even less, then it would live for 5 days, maybe more...

I don't know what they did with the HD2 at the repair, but I know they did an awesome job!

And no... they didn't gave me other batteries, ccoz they werent sended to repair either.

In my opinion, the low battery life for the other people, is a hardware problem, somewhere in the motherboard maybe? a battery leak.

It's also not a battery problem.
[HD2 General] lude219:
You might as well turn off your phone. I dont see the point in having a smartphone where you use it like a dumbphone. If that's the case, just sell your HD2 and get a Nokia 6230...those could last for weeks.

I get about 50hrs (2days) of heavy usage out of my HD2. That's good enough for me.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
we actually use our phones....

yeah, I don't buy that either. With heavy usage you are not going to get 2 days. Just my screen being on (50% brightness) watching tv shows I can get about 4 hours. Considering that is about 300mah, that sounds right. That is heavy usage, screen on, video playing, or internet or game playing. Unless you put your screen at 20% brightness, which once again, begs the question, what is the point of having a smartphone if you turn it so far down you can barely see the screen?

I have a charger in the car, 2 chargers stashed at work, several at home. I have yet to buy a second battery like I did with my tp2, but if I ever decided I needed more juice, that would be the plan.
[HD2 General] aceo07:
For those whose battery life is over 24hrs, I'd be interesting in seeing their usage stats. For example, battclock will provide times for how long the screen is on and how long the phone is idle for.

Those numbers would be useful to go along with the battery life to accurately show just how much the phone is used.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
I agree as in buying the HD2 means you plan to give some sense (pardon the pun, it's not intended :p) to all its power, and not using it just as you would do with a low end Nokia.

Anyway that doesn't mean you plan to use all that power constantly. I do watch TV shows on my phone, that's when I'm on the public means, and 4hrs is the best I can get. I also do read manga, and the big screen helps. Yet even if I'm not stressing the snapdragon, I find useful the good camera, the GPS, the big screen, the possibility to check my mail without needing a PC, even if I don't do all those things everyday.

On a side note, before the HD2, I was using a dualsim phone (which did just the phone), a coolpix camera, and an ipaq. With all these things inside the same device now, I get to 4 days, while I couldn't get 4 days out of my dualsim alone before.

In reply to @joshoon, I think that they just upgraded the radio firmware..., for me chaging radios has gone a long way battery-wise in the past ;)
[HD2 General] joshoon:
I putten the same radio on it again.

And few days ago I updated my ROM with the new ROM upgrade from HTC, so the radio either.

And still got awesome battery life.

And if someone wants to see numbers... sure, just explain me what program I need :) and what to do exacly, and I show u guys.

add the timers from the registry keys HKLM\system\uptime, they are the ones ending in Session (clock, cpu and screen), value in seconds, set a divider to get the value in minutes/hours/days
[HD2 General] joshoon:
Heyz,

My battery is now on %12 after a few days (only had it one time on USB to put some music on it for 5-10 min).

I usually charge my HD2 when it's 10%, but on 10% it can live for one more day either.

Clock: 126717 (probably 12m, 65h, 61d?

CPU: 1999 (probably 19m, 9h, 9d?)

Screen is not there btw.

I used my phone pretty often last days.

But it wasnt 61 days? :P
[HD2 General] ephestione:
that's in seconds, silly :D

Divide by 60 for minutes, by 3600 for hours, and by 86400 for days, which mean you had almost 1.5 days.

"Clock" is time since last reboot

"ClockSession" is since last battery change... so if you never swap batteries like I do but just charge it, you should avoid rebooting the device before charging, or there is no way to accurately measure battery life.
[HD2 General] joshoon:
Im charging my hd2 right now, so how can I show you guys about my battery life now?
[HD2 General] ephestione:
When it's fully charged, remove the battery and put it in again, then monitor the value of HKLM\System\Uptime\ClockSession, it will tell you the uptime seconds since the moment you put the battery back in
[HD2 General] joshoon:
too late lol :P

I will try after 3-5 days
[HD2 General] joshoon:
Ok I charged my HD2 in the begin of the noon, I had a call of 5-7 min after that, and then I didnt do anything with the HD2 again, and now its 98%.

Pretty good in my opinion.

Better then I had before it went to repair whahaha :o
[Fascinate General] sstevenson72:
I hear the release was made to the providers. Any idea when this will be available. also I am a little new to the droid market, and have rooted/Lag Fixed my phone. Whats the process to update to the latest release once available?
[Fascinate General] Protonus:
Read the Fascinate Dev forum. Get rid of that lag fix you have, and get a Voodoo kernel. Read the threads in that forum, every question you have is answered there. For status, monitor that forum.
[Fascinate General] ckochinsky125:
I would wait and hold out on doing voodoo people are having alot of issues with it if it is not removed properly and showing they have 0 internal memory so i know im going to wait with my rooted fascinate until either there is a froyo rom or the ota comes and then possibly install that because you never know the ota may not work if you have that installed.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
I would rather wait for a cooked froyo rom that includes the voodoo kernel. Screw the OTA. It will just put you back to square one. All verizoned and bloated.

good day.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hawaiian.monzta:
Okay so ive read topics where tmobile will slow down your speed if you go above 5gb in data usage. Well i went above that (im at 5.3gb) 2 nights ago and its only my 2nd week into my billing cycle. This is because i tether my xbox to play live, i give people wifi for their laptops etc. So my question is, do they really slow you down? My speeds are H connections and havent slowed down at all. And why give people phones and they pay for unlimited data only to have it slowed down if they exceed an x amount and have them pay an EXTRA $15 for an added tether feature?
[G2 and Desire Z General] srtpro4mance:
Id say consider yourself lucky your speed hasn't been "choked" down a little. Its all part of TS you agreed to when you signed up.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
First of all, XBL through your cell? Seems odd...

Back on topic...

the 5GB cap will roll out in the next month or so it isn't effective immediately.
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
5GB cap applies to new contracts and customers start with T-Mobile, pre-existing customer have the 10 GB cap with throttling.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xyrcncp:
F that. The only time I've done that is when I've been traveling and needed access and someone else needed access as well. Otherwise, pay up. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] hawaiian.monzta:
The people I give wifi to is like my family. I don't give random people wifi.

And believe it or not hspa+ speeds on the g2 is way quicker than my actual internet
[G2 and Desire Z General] hawaiian.monzta:
But thanks everyone for your input
[G2 and Desire Z General] cdreamworld:
when you get throttled down, you'll know it. every time i hit 5 gigs, i get slowed down. it's been happening to me ever since the nexus one. i haven't heard of the 10 gig thing, but the 5 did happen to me. when it did happen on the nexus one for me, it would still show 3g. but i'll get edge speed only, and it's a pain. but you can surf regular web stuff just fine. it's the videos that'll kill ya. i haven't hit 5 gigs on the g2 yet and not planning to. but hey, at least they throttle you down instead of charging you extra per mb.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rex450se:
I think it has begun. A couple days ago I received a text from tmo saying my speeds would be slowed through the remainder of the billing cycle. I have always been a heavy user and used to tether my Nexus every night at work. I am only at about 6Gbs this billing cycle so I hardly think it is excessive. I hit 14Gbs a couple months ago and never got this message.

Victor
[G2 and Desire Z General] hawaiian.monzta:
Your right at last they don't charge you extra but if they did, that would be against the law because if we pay for unlimited, we pay to use unlimited. So they can't charge extra for going over a certain amount
[G2 and Desire Z General] Becksman:
T-Mobile just started recently to throttle the downspeed. However, at least that's what is announced, you should receive a text message informing you about the throttling.

[Captivate General] derek4484:
I used designgears' jh7_ota.zip to update my phone to JH7. It worked fine. The one reason why I used it was because the OTA update had gone through to 100% and then crashed. In the "About phone" menu it had the right kernel version and the right baseband version, but the Build number was stuck on ECLAIR and not showing ECLAIR.UCJH7 like it should. So after using the JH7_OTA.zip it showed the right build number and the PC Internet option was gone from USB options like it should have been. Also, the GPS started working pretty well.

The one thing that sucked was it completely wiped my phone. So after reloading all my apps and redoing all the customizations I finally got it back to how I like it. Then I happened to notice that the "Build number" had somehow reverted back to just "ECLAIR". I also noticed that "PC Internet" was back as an option when USB was plugged in. I have no idea how it reverted back after I had successfully installed JH7. I never used ROM Manager or Titanium Backup to restore anything, I just went and redownloaded everything and reinstalled everything.

Has anyone else seen or had this happen to them? I had to reinstall JH7_OTA.zip again. And again it wiped my phone out completely. Having to go back through and reinstall everything all over again. How annoying.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
You could always master clear, flash stock JF6 and then use Mini Kies to get the update. That way you know you have a fresh install.

I just did that coming of Cognition, loved it but didn't use any of the useful features (mobile AP, tethering) to make it worthwhile. I still bought DG a beer, dude works hard.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
That was what I did to get the JH7 update. Although, I did use designgears' zip file rather than mini kies. Mini Kies wasnt out at that time. I used odin one click to revert to stock JF6, then the first thing I did was install clockwork recovery, then I installed designgears' zip file. Everything worked great for weeks. Cant see how or why it reverted back to build number "ECLAIR" from "ECLAIR.UCJH7".

I reinstalled JH7 with DG's zip file again since I still had it on my sdcard. Its back to the right version, build number says the right thing and pc internet is not an option and gps seems to work good and battery life seems to be better again. If it monks up again I will flash back to JF6, then use mini kies to get the JH7 update and try that.

I dont know whether its android or its just this galaxy S, but I've never had such a glitchy phone before. Random software crashes, random shutdowns, half-baked gps, updates that dont work and even brick phones. Just seems like I cant go more than a day or two without something on this phone F'ing up. Is this how it is with android all the time? This feels like the microsoft windows world a la 1995-2000. I thought we moved past all these crashes and glitches with plug and play and with Windows XP.
[Captivate General] jahfry:
May or may not be the same thing ... but ... my wife updated to the current release OTA and said it worked. However I noticed the other day that she still has the PC Internet option that shouldn't be there.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Go to About Phone and look at the build number on her phone. If it really took the full update it will say "ECLAIR.UCJH7". If it didnt it will still say "ECLAIR".

The very first time I tried to get the update OTA, it downloaded, then installed and it went to 100% on the install screen, but once it reached 100%, it then said "Update is failed". And when I rebooted it, the build number was still at "ECLAIR". and I still had PC Internet option and Quick Office wasnt installed and it acted kind of "glitchy".

When I downloaded and installed the zip file from Designgears, I could tell right away the the update was truly installed. Build number was "ECLAIR.UCJH7". PC Internet option was removed from usb options. Quick Office was installed. It ran a little smoother. GPS performance was somewhat better, and I did notice improved battery life.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfolo:
OK--people are talking all around this issue, and I am looking for a blunt answer. Hopefully this thread can be found easily via Google.

FACT: The GPS fix for stock Galaxy phones we all know about doesn't work for many people.

FACT: Some custom Vibrant ROMs, like Bionix, claim to have fixed the GPS issues.

QUESTION 1: Is the GPS fix in these custom ROMs the same as the one released by Samsung for the Captivate?

QUESTION 2: If not, can anyone verify the performance of the custom ROM fixes? I have seen threads on this site that suggest the GPS is even worse after using a custom ROM (including Bionix).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
I am the minority it seems, but my gps is much worse after flashing Bionix 1.8 and 1.9.1. When I was stock JFD I actually created a thread complimenting my GPS.... and now it's useless. No matter how long I stay outside I can not get a lock.

I am not certain what the issue is, because some on the same ROM claim it is great. Not sure how I lost out.... and not blaming sombionix, his rom is so good I still use it even with this issue (and I consider it a big one).

I do not know enough about what he did, but I don't think much was altered from JI6.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfolo:
Thanks s15274n!

I am going to do some testing...I have access to a stock Vibrant (with no GPS fix), and a stock Captivate (with recent GPS fix). I will do a "map my run" route with each (using my Nexus One and maybe even my G1 as an experiment control), then root the Vibrant with Bionix Fusion, and post my results--probably here and in a blog post. That will give me 5 separate results to compare.

The screenshots and data output should settle all the BS flying around, although I am sure that some people will claim that their particular phone has no problems whatsoever.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daverod:
Just to add my two cents, I've continued to experience horrible GPS performance despite the fix in JI6. Quite simply, it's unusable if I don't open G-Maps before I drive away from my wirless SSID.

Unfortunately, questions posted here are routinely met with "reflash" and "why can't people search? these issues have been solved a million times!". Most people seem content to assume that since it was fixed on their phone, we're too stupid to figure out how to apply this particular "fix".

This is my fifth phone. My G1, MyTouch, and Nexus One all had GPS' which worked simply and reliably. My Galaxy S phones...not so much. It's gotten to the point where I'm seriously considering paying HTC to fix the busted AMOLED screen on my Nexus One so I can go back to that and sell my Vibrant and i9000 on craigslist.

Sorry for the rant. I only meant to chime in to say "you're not the only one". I'm just frustrated.

I'll be interested to see your results if you go through with your test.
