I had everything turned off. No email, no sync, no wifi, no gps, nothing. I fully charged the battery and unplugged it before I left. Display was never turned on. I wanted to see a completely isolated battery test. The only applications I had active according to my task manager was Launcher Pro.

Time on 10 hours 20 minutes

Battery life left 60%

Battery used 40%

Cell Standby - 40%

Phone Idle - 30%

Android System 20%

Calls (1 missed call) 5%

Display 3%

Maps 2% (Why does maps show up?)

Again this is with absolutely 0 use or syncing going on. Left phone at home, turned on and immediately checked stats when I got back from work.

According to this small test I can't even last a day on a full charge even if I left it completely alone.

Thoughts?

[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
Holy stewart Gilligan Griffin.

Why does everyone need to make a thread for personalized information regarding their battery life?!?

I had a g1 n then mytouch n I've never seen such whining over battery life. If I see one more battery thread.......
[Vibrant General] h666:
at least your reply was helpful.
[Vibrant General] Gigamaster89:
In 1.5 day of standby with every radio off and no sim, my phone only lost about 5% with stock JI6.
[Vibrant General] grennis:
I think it is a cool idea. I find that 5% usage for one missed call is very bad. I have really suspected that voice calls kill this battery and that seems to add evidence. 5% for a missed call? That is messed up.
[Vibrant General] Sincitybronze:
I think this is the aspect of battery life that doesn't get addressed enough: drain during standby. Of course everyone expects to lose some power while the display is on and syncing/other processes are running--but what about when the phone is left untouched? Here are 3 ideas:

3g is a notorious battery drain even when the phone is not being used--use 2g instead.

Freeze or uninstall media hub and other running processes that attempt to run/connect to servers in the background. I removed dmservice, media hub, and all drm processes and this seemed to be helpful.

Use a custom rom--these appear to hold power in standby better than stock roms do.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
To add further detail usage time was 45 seconds for the missed call.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Cell Standby indicates that there is an activity that polls something from the network.

if you are so concerned about what it might be, you can see when and how much data is being used by going to your TMO account online and check for the data usage - one of the good features TMO put in place is actually tell you when your phone connected to get what amount of data over the data connection, does not tell you what it was doing though.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Yeah, something is going very wrong in your phone. When my phone is on standby with just 2G on it drains less than 1% per hour. I would definitely recommend getting rid of the drm service and media hub (and Daily Briefing). I also use Autostarts to keep all kinds of random programs from starting at inappropriate times (Really Slacker, does your app need to launch every time the time zone changes?)
[Vibrant General] gunks:
It is.... DrmUA.apk?
[Vibrant General] ackattacker:
According to Samsung the phone should last 450 hours in standby mode...

:rolleyes:

Anyway, yeah, I'd be curious to see the same test done with 2g only.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
450 hours rofl.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
Looks like i'm going to go off stock and try out some roms now. I assume bionix 1.9 is the new hotness out there? Going to flash and try the same test again and post results.
[Vibrant General] Shaggathai:
I wonder if Samsung's definition of "standby mode" is what the rest of us call "off".

I've never had any kind of batt life with this phone...charge everday overnight...start work at 8, use here and there for navi (around 10 mins max, maybe 2x a day) about 30 min avg talk...and mp3 player...get home by 4 and always at 30% or (most often ) less...have had stock/ bionix roms, never changed, no matter what build....it's pathetic..called tmo, they said there are no known issues with batt on this phone...wow...do a google search on it..anyways, they are sending out a new batt..I hope I just got a bad one...seems very random tho, some ppl have all radios on ,screen all the way up and get 10+ hrs...if i left my screen on (say navi on) for more then an hour straight I'd be out of battery..very weird..praying new batt is better...

Battery Conditioning
Does it seem like youre just not getting the battery life you should from your phone? Do all your other friends keep going while you slowly putter into a shutdown? Well pout no more! Simply follow these steps to clear your batter information from the phone and your phone will act better then new! :)

1. Charge phone completely, leave plugged into power
2. Boot into recovery
3. Wipe battery stats
4. Reboot to normal
5. Remove power cable
6. Drain that sucker all the way
7. Recharge fully
8. Rejoice!"
[Vibrant General] mpmilestogo:
I turned my phone off today. Then I left the house. When I got back the battery was glad to see me. Seriously, I've read just about everyone and almost started my own battery disturbance thread. I've come up with a new thought at least for me. I don't care any more. I have electricity. I have a spare battery and a charger. If my phone wants to last a whole day. Yay! If I use it more because of some game with angry birds or cards or dice, great. I've reached that Mark Twain moment somewhat tweaked when he said,

“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.”

I'll tweak it with the last 27% of battery left in my feeble vibrant to:

"battery is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it won't matter".

Enough already I say! Lets spare the air. Batteries are meant to be used :-)

Back to the regular reading of all the battery threads now.
[Vibrant General] crazygamer1:
I think I had the same issue as you. Cell standby was the biggest drain. When you tap on that, do you see 50% time without signal? If that's the case, this seems to be a bug in Android which was somehow introduced in JI6. The best solution I've found so far is after every boot to put your phone in flight mode for a few seconds and back. This fixes the radio glitch, your time without signal should go down way under 50%, and battery drain should stop. Hope that helps.
[Vibrant General] Tynen:
You should recondition your battery:

Fully charge

Reboot into recovery wipe battery information

Reboot into OS

Unplug power cable

Let battery FULLY drain (do not plug in until fully dead)

FULLY charge battery (do not unplug until fully charged)

This reconditioning should be done after every ROM flash.

[Android Apps and Games] m2thedeep:
Just found it in the market and was gonna make a post about it here. After fooling around with the app on my phone, I have to say it's pretty impressive for a first release. This is the first music app that I've seen that has basic UI elements well implemented. Definitely replacing Doubletwist on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] doomedromance:
Just connected my winamp through wifi. currently transfering new music to my phone over wifi. Works just like when you normally hook up devices with usb. About 10-15 secs per song to transfer.
[Android Apps and Games] fatttire:
Wow, that's impressive. Getting now
[Android Apps and Games] Rosco911:
Love it, replacing MixZing... but I cant manage to set the lock screen widget be the only lock screen...

I can't seem to figure out where to go in Winamp to sync via Wifi. I've checked all through the menus, and I'm not seeing anything. Running the latest version of Winamp too. Any help?
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
Pretty good but I'd still like to see the add/remove button for songs.

i.e closer to the vintage winamp <3.0 look
[Android Apps and Games] Dave the Knave:
My only issue with WinAmp (for the pc) is that even though I have a pro license, it always crashes after exactly 5 hours of use. Doesn't matter what I'm doing. Hopefully the android app is a little better.
[Android Apps and Games] owziee:
Not bad at all but pale in comparision to PowerAMP.

YES!! finally something that does wifi sync!

haven't tried it yet, just setting it up now

TO enable wifi sync.

on your phone, in the main screen in winamp press menu>settings and enable wifi sync

on your pc click the devices link in the media library list and if you have enable wifi on your phone it will show up here.

I don't know about you guys, but it's not showing up under Portables. I am connected to my home wifi and have wifi enabled in the Winamp settings. Is there some search function that we have to do?
[Android Apps and Games] fatttire:
it doesn't recognize your pre-existing songs on your android as being the same as your computer. it wants to re-copy them (presumably to a winamp folder on the android).

Then it doesn't exactly ask where to put them... making me think it's going on the internal SD card.... eh.

Hope they fix that in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
I really wish CyanogenMod's "press trackball twice to skip track" feature worked with this media player, as it only seems to work with the stock music player :(
[Android Apps and Games] fatttire:
Update:

It copies all your music folders via WiFi to / , effectively making browsing supremely difficult.

It also manages to copy music to two different folders depending on if you connect via WiFi or USB, so if you finish copying via WiFi, then connect using USB, it tries to duplicate every song, and comes up with an error message that you don't have any free space left.

What the ???
[Android Apps and Games] owziee:
I don't know I've had this installed a few hours now and been playing with it...

I feel like Nullsoft (or is it AOL nowadays?) can do better than this. I really like the look and the simplicity of the player but somehow it just feels like a nice shell covering the Android player and with a few added features.

They could at least have included an equalizer... If I could uninstall the default HTC Sense player I would definitely have kept this installed but now it just feels like it's wasting space since the HTC player feels just as good.

I'm gonna stick to PowerAMP for now but I'll keep an eye on Winamp and I really hope they'll add more features in the future...

For people running stock Android without Sense I definitely can see a use for Winamp.

Damn I gotta stop writing because I don't know what I'm typing anymore, I'm too damn high, seriously!!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Westi01:
For me sync doesnt work. i have enabled both Wifi sync and USB sync. Maybe it was my fault because winamp asked me once if I would manage the device with Winamp and I klicked "No". I wonder how to resolve this...
[Android Apps and Games] housert:
Same here, wifi sync doesn't work.. :( too bad, was really interest in this feature!
[Android Apps and Games] [DT]:
Another "no wifi sync" user. I dig on WinAMP (though PowerAMP looks amazing). My phone works great on WiFi, I can access it via things like SwiFTP, etc., just nothing when I right-click devices and choose 'start discovery'

I've tried shutting down, starting up in different orders, a total de-install/re-install of WinAMP, same for the Android side. I even turned off my AV software to make sure the firewall wasn't blocking the port.

[edit]

Figured I'd add my Android device spec:

Samsung Captivate

Froyo 2.2 via Cognition 2.2b6 ROM

Winamp for Android Review

I reviewed this app and it seems pretty sweet. I think Winamp has a winner on its hands and doubleTwist should be scared. I wasn't able to get transcoding to work though.

Check out my full review here

That's cause DoubleTwist is crap to begin with. I've always favored WinAmp over WMP, iTunes, etc... Especially because it has iPod support.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but is there Music Player that can wirelessly sync music in Mac OSX?
[Android Apps and Games] outlawracer21:
I have wireless enabled on Device. But on the desktop winamp, I see nowhere to click on "devices". I have this problem at home and my work PC. All I have is "Portables". Right clicking on that doesn't do anything. How can I make the desktop program see my phone?
[Android Apps and Games] Penguissimo:
None that integrate player and sync, but TuneSync will get your music onto your phone via WiFi, and you can then play it in any media player app.
[Android Apps and Games] djmickyg:
are u sure your using the beta desktop version? 5.59?

what skin are you using? Im using big bento

I will post a screen shot in a moment..

one anoying thing i have found is that you cant specify where the songs are sent, they all copy to the root directory and i would like them in a music folder so my root isnt full of folders.. any figured this out?

Yep, I'm not seeing my device. WiFi on the Captivate (I can browse network shares with the phone, share the FS using SwiFTP, etc.), WinAMP is setup on the PC and phone (WiFi enabled), 5.59 on the PC, etc.

I uninstalled, and then RE-installed WinAMP on my Captivate from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8789762&postcount=36

Not sure it's the same version, or if the reinstall made the difference. At any rate, when I reinstalled with WinAMP up and running on my PC, as soon as I turned on WiFi sync in the WA setting (on the phone), it appeared on my PC. I selected it in the Discovered pane, got the confirmation on the phone, clicked OK, and now it's a registered device!

Woot! I now have Wireless Sync!

Figured I'd post that since I've seen a couple of other folks having issues with the PC finding their device. YMMW :)

I had a similar experience. After connecting to the charger the SD card disappeared. The problem was the buggy auto-mount option. After disabling this option the problem was gone.

Works great on my Viewsonic G-Tab, Wi-Fi Sync is the bomb. selected Wi-Fi sync and it found the music folder on my SeaGate 2TB NAS vault and pulled all of my tunes down to the tablet.

OK so I use WinAmp on a netbook to play music on my stereo system. A pretty OK app for controlling the Winamp player on that machine is Playa Control. Over Wifi, I can pause, stop, and view/navigate the current playlist on my instance of Winamp on my netbook. So I can just hit pause before going to sleep from my phone, which is nice. This app (Playa Control) is just OK (in fact the latest release kind of broke it)

Can you do this (manage a running instance of Winamp on your wifi network) with this Winamp beta app, can't tell from reading the page linked by OP

Hi all,

Ok I'm back :-).

I've found a workaround to open radio stream in winamp (my own, not the one in shoutcast). I just open the adress in the browser and a pop-up menu open which says me to choose which program to use (music player or Winamp) I choose winamp and it works :-D yeap I can listen to the nova radio (http://broadcast.infomaniak.net:80/radionova-high.mp3) on my android. BUT it's not possible to do anything then. Any action will FC Winamp (nicely but surely).

I've write this because, if there is other people stupid like me, it would help them to not search hours where to enter this F###! stream adress in Winamp B-)

A little thing more. I saved the radio stream adress in the browser's bookmarks, that a little faster as to write it every times :-D

Cheeers!!!

I've been noticing a new bug with winamp over the last two weeks. I use winamp as my primary mp3 palyer in my car; however, lately the app short cut will not start the application in either stock car dock, car home ultra 2.3 or car dock v2. The other short cuts and widgets I use in these apps work fine. Using car home, the icon highlights when selected, but the application does not launch. In car dock v2, a random application is launched when the winamp short cut is selected.

I also have mixzing and its shortcut work fine.

I have had this issue even when I flashed back to SBF and after installing greyblur 2.1 and Gingerblur 3.1.

Any ideas?
