[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
And, for what it's worth, I'll point out that I use a lot of blacks in my theme. Black wallpaper(not solid black, mind you, but black is the most prominent color), black messaging, black gmail, black xda app, etc. which most likely contributed to power savings due to the way we know SAMOLED works. Also I didn't put the phone on 2G or on WiFi at any point until I got home at 6:00PMish.

While unnecessary, I also use a TasKiller to routinely clear out my running apps. Once you've identified which apps will immediately relaunch themselves upon kill, it's pretty easy to avoid having it drain your battery. And, again some argue it's unnecessary, I have done the "conditioning" (full charge/discharge/charge cycle) thing twice. No bump charging, though.

All in all, I'd say battery life is pretty stellar :) My Nexus One barely made it through my work day(in fact, I started carrying a charger with me everywhere I went so I could charge it if I was near a socket even for 5min lol), though the G2/MT4G was quite a bit better at lasting until I got home to plug it in.

All new phones suffers from "Battery Life" issues, as people try to learn, play, and figure things out on their new toy.

after a couple of month or so, the battery life will "improve" as the owner gets settled, and bored after the new novelty time wears out ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
15min shy of the end of my work day with 70% battery life. This was a relevantly light to the lower end of moderate day: phone calls, texting, e-mails, limited web browser, and XDA app usage.

Still impressive, imo. Those of you who are getting terrible battery life really ought to look into getting your battery replaced or tracking down those rogue apps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhca50:
"Screen on" time is what we should be quoting, people... All of this fuzzy talk about light, moderate, or heavy usage is useless...

How many hours and minutes was your screen on, and were you on wifi, 3g, or airplane mode? That's the info you need to tell us... Anything less is useless.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Eh, fair enough, I suppose.

When I was doing the first round of conditioning on my Nexus S the first day I got it, it took from ~11:30PM to ~7:00AM to kill the battery from a full charge with the screen on, full brightness, Pandora streaming, GPS on, Bluetooth on, Maps/Navigation running and providing a white screen. I'd turn the screen off every now and again for no more than 5min or so due to concerns about heat. So around 6hrs 30min of "screen on" time. I have not tested this again since that time.

The unfortunate thing is that a great way to time battery used to be letting it sit in bootloader mode, but since Samsung's bootloader is black(and we know SAMOLED's with black), that doesn't quite work.

Thanks, but what does setting it to never actually do? And how does it help battery life. I apologize, I'm not following.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerp_:
I generally thinks that there is some problem when its handles mobile data in poor reception area.

i had really poor battery life when i am in area where it keeps switching around from 2g to 3g vice-versa.

when i am in a area where the reception is stable on either just 3g or 2g (gprs), it seems to have a longer battery life.

i am now trying to just force it on 2g network only, under "wireless & networks" -> "mobile network settings" -> "use only 2g network".

i will report how is the battery life.

at the moment, it seems to be performing worse than my N1. i guess there is some different code in handling 2g/3g network. might be a case of upgrading the radio for NS.

i have 5.12.00.08 on my N1.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lf2k5:
I used to switch off wlan over night on my n1 and used to get good battery life.

I did the same last night with the ns and it dropped over 20%!

I know poor reception consumes more juice, but I didn't know wifi is less hungry than 3g, so I've changed the wifi sleep.

I've got a suresignal box so I get perfect 3g all round my house - weak signal shouldn't be an issue. That goes some way to proving that wifi is better for battery life...

Cell standby is 26%, display is 19, wifi is 5 - 1day 40 mins since last charge, 40% battery left.

The n1 seemed to be better on 3g...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jones:
I hope I am not telling you anything you already know, but I thought it useful to say the following.

When the device is switching between 2g and 3g or is just on a very poor 3g signal, the battery will be used up very quickly. The software inside the phone for handling that switch is probably comparable to the N1 (I also have both phones). For me the big difference is that The S performs slightly better on signal strength in general.

By way of an example, just last night I was over at a friends house where with my N1 I have no chance of a 3g signal and it sits on 2g all night using almost no battery. However, last night my S was able to just about get a 3g signal. It was weak, but it was there and the battery dropped 20% in about 5 hours with almost no usage from me.

This is just an example of how sometimes having a slightly better performing phone can actually harm your battery life and it might be relevant to you too. Since I came home last night, in the last 10 hours or so, it has used another 12% battery life with light usage and a couple of phone calls. Just gives a picture.

Can someone please tell me how I do this on a rooted 2.1? It's driving me mad trying to google it and I need to reset the battery stats to improve the battery life.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marice22:
install xrecovery (dev thread) goto "advanced" > "wipe battery stats".

Edit: i just used this myself, but how would this "improve" the lifecycle of a battery?

Do SE battery's have a chip on them that counts the used hours/days, or is it just the android fw that keeps track?

(I have 2 fake battery's also (ebay), so i never run out of juice :) in case of the chip.. i bet these fake's dont have a chip.. kinda like fake PSP batterys (special pandora's excluded))
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svtfmook:
it won't improve the battery life.

however, you can maintain your battery life and align the battery stats to actual battery level by draining it until the phone cannot power back on. plug it in, wipe stats, power off, let it charge fully, then leave it on the charger for about an hour afterwards before powering it back on.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IAmTheTrueUI:
I hate to be one of "Those Guys" because I know I'm still pretty new to all this, but I still can't figure out how to get over a days worth of battery life no matter what I do. I can't seem to go more than about six to eight hours without having to plug my phone in. I may also be screwing myself, because I suppose I'm what you might call a "Heavy User." I don't have internet at home, and at work it's a secured network, so all I have for internet connection is my EVO.

I have purchased SetCPU and JuiceDefender, but it basically does nothing that I don't normally do. Like I've stated before, I have no other access to internet. I never use WiFi, 4G, or anything else that might normally drain the battery more than usual. I have all of my accounts set to sync either 4 hours or more than that. I have tried flashing different kernels, but no kernel I flash seems to have any effect on my battery at all. Is there something special that I'm supposed to be doing after I flash a kernel? I've looked, but I wasn't able to find anything on that. All the posters just say they've flashed the kernels, and have great battery life after that. LOL!

I haven't tried the Battery Tweak by Myn yet, but I'm about to research that and ADB commands and possibly try that.

I'm just wanting to ask y'all, is there anything else that I might need to be doing to better benefit my battery life? Thank you all for your help, in all instances. I hope y'all have a great day, and good flashing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weaselp1:
Try this to help improve battery:

1. Connect the phone to the charger and charge device until the LED turns green with the phone powered on.

2. Disconnect the phone, and power it off.

3. Reconnect the phone to the charger, and charge the device until the LED turns green again.

4. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and then power it off.

5. Reconnect the phone to the charger and charge until the LED turns green again. Power on and use.

If you are using your phone for internet for tethering purposes, there isnt much you can do. Wireless tether chews through your battery.

Try flashing different kernels. One kernel that I think provides better battery life is baked battery #5. Just make sure you nandroid backup first before flashing anything.

As far as setcpu, search the forums here for the best settings. Lots of people have different opinions on this.

Hope this helps.

After I installed MIUI-au 0.12.111 R2(first time installing it) I Got really bad Battery life. With the stock rom on my HTC Desire I would go 3 days before charging it(light use), now i can only get 1 day, I have looked around and did everything I could find, I reset the battery stats. made sure I let it die and charged it up fully a few times. I have tried the new version of the Radio and RIL. I have tried setcpu and I can only get 1 day with it. I love miui but I can not keep it with such bad battery life. am I expecting too much from it? or is there something i am missing/ can try?

Thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kozlojak:
What version of the Radio and RIL are you using?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Not flashed RIL as the matching RIL for the recommended Radio (5.09.05.30) is already in the MIUI ROM, stock out of the box.So yes, I am currently using radio 5.09.05.30 (MIUI recommended) which has given me excellent battery life, even with FroYo roms. I have not experienced any Wi-Fi issues either.

EDIT: The information in this link may also interest you as it talks about different radio versions and associated RIL, and the effect they can have on battery life especially: http://www.miui-au.com/faq/radios-radios-radios/

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
To further save battery life, i.e. when idle at night, you can also try enabling Airplane mode at night and disable in the morning. There are apps in the marketplace that can do this for you automatically between set periods so you don't have to bother doing it manually.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xitrum:
Long first post:

I take over an EVO phone from my brother, which was rooted by his co-worker. He told me it was rooted, and flashed with a stock Sprint ROM (the phone still has all of the Sprint apps installed, and the interface looks exactly as the phone they display at Sprint stores). The phone has Android 2.1 (I assumed), and I have a popup stating that there is a System upgrade 1.32.651.6 (13.14 MB) FOTA.

My phone info:

Hardware version 0003

Firmware version 2.1-update1

Baseband version 1.39.00.05.31

Kernel version 2.6.29-a2443432

htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Build number 1.32.651.1 CL171253 release-keys

Software number 1.32.651.1

Browser version WebKit 3.1

PRI version 1.34_003

PRL version 60672

When I Hboot the phone (Power + Volumn down keys), I got:

Supersonic EVT-3 ENG S-OFF

HBOOT - 0.76.2000 (PC 3610000)

MICROP - 041f

Radio 1.39.00.05.31

Mar 30 2010

My question?

1. What do I need to do to upgrade my OS to Android 2.2?

2. What do I need to do, after upgrading the OS, to upgrade my Radio?

Please don't get me wrong. I read many posts in this forum. It seems like instructions for 2.1 were outdated, and I am not sure I should use newer instruction (intended for 2.2) on my phone. I don't really know which keywords to use to search for my case, hence this new thread is created.

I read this from the sticky thread, but when I read more on the link, ppl says "ROMs posted here update anything besides the OS itself. No radio/PRI/WiMAX updates at all." How do I upgrade my phone's OS?

Thanks all in advance.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
Your phone is rooted with the same "grandfather" method I rooted mine, except no has bothered to update it as new OTA's have come out. You already have root and the engineering SPL on your phone. All you need to do is download the 2.2 based rom of your choice, drop it in the root of your SD card, boot into recovery, wipe everything and flash it.

Do not accept any OTA's that your phone is prompting you do to, or you can break the root and make things more complicated.

Edit: The link below has all the latest radio, PRI, NV and Wimax software. You can flash these now, but note that there will be more added to this list as some or all of these are changing with the latest OTA update that is being pushed out by Sprint right now.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
I attempted to root my friend's G2 first using Visionary+ R14 and temp root would work (the SU.apk is in the app drawer), so I attempted the perma-root and as soon as I granted it root access it would immediately reboot. Once I rebooted SU was still in the app drawer but rom manager kept saying the SU apk wasnt found in /system/bin or /system/xbin. I looked for it manually and searched for it but it couldnt be found anywhere, yet it was in the app drawer after a reboot. :confused:

I tried it a few more times and couldnt get it to work, I booted into the bootloader and saw that S-on wasn't off. After feeling competent enough I decided to push the hboot.img and the wpthis-OTA.ko to the sdcard (since I didnt have adb handy) and then copied them both to /data/local via the terminal. When I tried to insert the kernel module it gave me the expected error so I proceeded to flash the new hboot and that was also successful. I ran visionary again (guide doesnt say temp or permanent method, so i did temp), and once it was finished I typed sync into the terminal, waited a minute and rebooted.

Once android was fully loaded up again, I loaded up rom manager and it still complained that it couldnt find su.apk, I searched for it and it still wasnt there, yet it was still in the app drawer. I rebooted into the bootloader and saw that the protection was finally S-OFF, yet root access didnt seem to be (fully) available.

It also mentioned at some point that my su.apk was out of date and it downloaded the most up to date one for me but I had no way to flash it.
