Straight out of the X8 manual in Troubleshooting - Battery Performance:

"The following tips will help you improve battery performance:

- Charge your phone often..."

And from Windows Help (who would have known it would actually be helpful), if you search "how accurate is the battery meter":

"The practice of completely draining the battery and then fully charging it is advice that is applied to nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries. Lithium ion batteries last longer if you charge them often, a little at a time, to maintain a minimum charge of about 40 percent capacity."

I hardly ever let my phone get below 50% (I usually keep it above 70%), mostly because my battery lasts long enough so that it doesn't get to below 50% in the first place (thanks to good setcpu profiles). And it usually takes less than 10 minutes for my phone to be fully charged (from a wall outlet) from any charge level, even in the rare case that I am below 20%.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] zxcplayer:
thank you for number 6, I'll apply it :)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Ken-Shi_Kun:
If mentioned the battery. Is it just me, or somebody else experienced that after unplugging from charging, battery level drops from 100% to 97 rapidly, then idle, drains bit fast till ~50% and after drains a lot slower. (yes calibrated it two times now). It can last for 3-4 days but this is interesting for me.

on froyobread v021b
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Ken-Shi_Kun:
This is true. Li-ion and Li-polymer batterys don't really like the full cycles of drain and charge (so much, that if drained, it is practicaly dead if you're not an electrical expert with good gadgets to help). Li batterys has multiple security systems installed, protect from overcharge, and protection from "over drain". If drained too much, it wears off much faster. So charge it often, Li batterys need it.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] mqdjo:
Exact same issue for me
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] rafcamora91:
and very important is to turn off live wallpapers, and less widgets and icons than is less performace use, and also less battery usage!
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Ken-Shi_Kun:
Then it is battery driver issue. Devs please :)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] RealJTG:
It is a defense mechanism, not an issue actually. Increasing of temperature while charging increases battery capacity as well, so if you charge it to "real" 100% with temperature 35 °C, battery could be overcharged when temperature falls down to 25 °C, which may reduce it's lifetime.

Can someone give tips and trick how to use SetCPU clearly??

I try to make any change than my phone go so suck
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Sir_gpm:
I charged my battery every night no matter how much still remains....it is bad?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] molimo:
The best setCPU setting is there:

1- main: Max=600, Min=122, Ondemond

2-Temp>41.3 C: Max=320, Min=122, Ondemond, Priority=100

3-Screen Off: Max=245, Min=122, Ondemond/power save, Priority=90

4-Charging: Max=600, Min=245, Ondemond, Priority=80

5- Battry<20: Max=480, Min=122, Ondemond, Priority=70

Also, yo can set Min=480 in main page if you don't play game or heavy use by Phone.

with this setting I can save my charge for "90 h" in FroyoBread v20.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Ken-Shi_Kun:
Don't really. Li batteries like more the constant level, than greater variations.

But this is a battery service time tip, not battery usage maximalization tip :)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] deedii:
If you want to save battery I will recommend you this. It will last for 3days with minor use of your phone.

First install Smartass by Andyx.

Second use this setting by Biscoitu

We can guarantee that it is very effective.

Credits to Andyx and Biscoitu :)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Evander_F:
Thanks for all the tips and information provided by everyone. I've edited the first post.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Imppy:
is this setting compatible with OC?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] madmax0511:
noob question..:)

where do you push this exactly...
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] deedii:
Impy - yes it will not affect OC. Im using it with OC at 710hrz.

Madmax - follow the instructions in Smartass thread in dev's section, then use that setting i posted, copy paste that into your hw_config.sh as it was a manual setting. So in your hw_config should look like this;

Note: Im using Xgin and this also work in Kuyadroid ROMs. Never tried it with other ROM, but i bet it will work on all Roms.

This topic should be move in General Section:)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Bobo E:
I am testing a Gingerbread rom kuyaDROID v2.7.136. It incorporates smartass governor and undervolt module (both can be chosen/turned on in CM7 performance settings, so no need of SetCPU). Compared to Froyobread v21 (does not work correctly with smartass), battery drain went down substantially.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Cassius Away:
Hello I am kind of a noob, got my x8 only 4 days ago and first thing i did was install gingerDX :P

First couple of days with heavy use the phone lasted for about a day which I guess is kind of ok, but I noticed I lost about 20% overnight!

I am running GingerDx v009, using the Active launcher, Smartass governor with the settings on first post and Task Killer to kill all running apps. Wifi, Bluetooth, location were off. Brightness is at minimum.

I have just installed SetCpu to see if it makes any difference...

How will I reach the fabled 2-3 days of standby time? Any help is appreciated :P
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] kathirdr:
with the smartass governor alone my battery lasted for 2 days with moderate use.. pushed this new hw_config.sh setting now only.. have to check it.. anyway thanks to all developers.. when i bought this phone i regretted about it. now i am feeling happy that my mob is capable of so many things after modification!!!!
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] DougTheModder:
Can you please explain this point? Why keeping wifi always on should help? Thank you! :)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] impster:
I'd like to know this as well - why leave wifi sleep policy on 'never'???
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Evander_F:
My wifi policy is set to "Never" since I'm around wifi connections most of th day. Having wifi on, actually SAVES my battery because it will use that instead of my 3G to pull my data (emails,facebook,twitter..etc). Besides 3G jus uses too much power.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] JabboMaster:
juicedefender
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] wilbso:
Well is there anything you have in the background,for example launchers mods apps that run in the backround
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] DougTheModder:
Maybe is better to modify the first post, since this tip is not really well-explained and can cause a lot of confusion and give information that are not correct :)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Cassius Away:
I have tried using the smartass script by adding it to hw_config.sh but doing so makes the modules like smartass and ax8mt not register at launch which is a pain... is there a way around this?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] gaillard:
i tried custom setting for smartass but it seems nothing in change in battery life.....
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Riazigi:
Same thing to me.. Configuring hw_config.sh with the info provided makes Smartass not to show up as a available governor at CPU settings / Available Governors..

Using KuyaDROID V3.2.175

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] praswibi:

yeah maybe i should try to wipe my battery stats too, thanks!
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] alexsonfish96:
hurm..i used FroyoBread (yes, still using it) simply because it's stable and it's superb battery life...i suggest you check at settings>applications>manage applications to kill apps you dont use.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] praswibi:
how long your battery last long? do you kill apps everytime you use your phone? its kinda annoying to kill apps everytime we use our phone just to make battery life longer.. what froyobread do you use?

It's all nice and the battery is all good except for one thing. I noticed that while I'm talking on my phone (in-call) my battery drains quite a lot. Is there anything I can do (another echo call like in the code above) to make the battery drain slower. In settings I've set the network only on 2G, disabled data access and checked GSM only. Any solution?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] LG_fuad92:
Guys, task killers doesn't saves battery. It DRAINS battery, the more apps the task killer kills the more RAM your phone will use. Task killers purposes ( or is it spelled like that) is for you to kill apps which is not responding aka force close it.

The tips that I got from dx and some other people is:

1. Download Anttek Manager, and freeze those unused apps like Google Maps, DSP Manager. etc etc.. Those apps that you will never use, just freeze it, and this app is the only free apps that can freeze apps.

2. Reboot after connecting to wifi or using data, because those internet apps like facebook, email, gmail will try to connect to the internet even if you're not connected to the internet. And that causes more battery. Reboot to make everything fresh.

3. And also after listening to music too, reboot.

4. I'm not using smartass or any oc.

@Revealer : How long do you call using your phone? Try to wipe battery stats? If you're calling around 30 mins and above and of course your battery drains.

With those tips dx and some other guys gave me I can go to 5 days with very very very very very little usage. :) Hardly wifi. :D

Hope this helps guys! :) Cheers

EDIT : Sorry for any mistaken english above. :p

EDIT 2 : OOPS! I forgot 1 more thing. Thank you dx and some guys outside for battery saving tips! :D

Just one question: If you don't use your phone for talking, or listening to music, or you don't use wifi, then can you tell me why did you buy an Android phone, or better...why did you even buy a phone? :D
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] LG_fuad92:
If you still want that apps then just freeze it. You can defrost it when you wanna use it or etc. :) I just freeze it. It's up to you.:D

I rebooted for a lot of times and I didn't find that my phone have any problems. :D Try using Fast Reboot then. :) That might help.:o

Well, I did make calls, wifi, sms. etc. Like when I wanna call my colleagues and others. :D Not that I didn't use. but less. :D I can hardly play games because I'm working. So that's it. I think 2012 I will be using my phone more. :D Because I've stopped working.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If you want to compile Froyo - use a different guide. Either from CM6 page or from Android SDK explanations.

You're failing on library incompatibilities, specifically Camera lib - but since I don't know, what's the source core you're running (Froyo or Gingerbread repo), it's hard to say how to fix it. If you're following the guide in your post completely and compiling GB - you probably missed the "Fix Camera" part.

[Nook Color General] DZ469:
Hey guys, I think this should be a pretty simple question to answer but I can't find anything specific when I search google. I've been having trouble running different builds of Honeycomb on my nookColor: v2, 2a, and honeybunches all would not let me connect to wifi. Everytime it would go to connect, the signal would drop to zero and nothing would happen. Any thoughts on this?

Also, since I only have 2 microSD cards I would use Easeus to delete the partitions on the disks and then use SD formatter to reformat the cards so I could install a new build of Honeycomb to check the wireless. However, the capacity of my 8GB card has gone from ~7.6-7.8GB to 7.46GB when i am trying to format it for the next time. Easeus shows a 7.647GB unallocated partition, but the formatter wants to format it to 7.46GB. I don't understand why it has gone down, and it makes me worry that I unwittingly lost space on my SD card. Have I screwed up my cards, or can I get this mystery space back? Please help!
[Nook Color General] RileyGrant:
Remove SD card from Nook and boot into stock. Insert SD card, go to settings, Device Info, SD card, unmount sd card, then format sd card. This will/should delete all partitions, format and restore all usable space on the sd card. From here, download and burn the honeycomb image to your sd card. (I recommend ubuntu, dd command. Open terminal, navigate to the directory that contains your nookhoney image. Once there type; "sudo dd if=nookhoney02.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M" without the quotes. Note that nookhoney02.img could be nookhoney02a.img or the honeybunches image depending on which you are using and mmcblk0 could be mmcblk1 etc. depending on what the name of your sdcard drive is.) After the image is done writing, power Nook down, insert sd card and boot Nook. Also, the burning process can be done from windows using winimage and what not, the whole ubuntu thing was just my recommendation. Hope this works for you, any more questions, just feel free to ask. Also, I apologize if this is repeat information, just giving the full experience.
[Nook Color General] xa8392:
just use dd command in linux or osx will erase all the partition, don't need format or erase the card first.if you do so the sd size will not decrease.
[Nook Color General] njdevils28:
I'm having issues deleting the partition on the SD. You were successful using the instructions above?
[Nook Color General] njdevils28:
Nevermind I got it to work.

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] DZ469:
ok so anyone have any ideas about the wifi problem? I have tried 4 different builds of honeycomb and whenever I go to connect to a network, the reception drops to zero and it gets stuck on connecting. IDK whats up. I type in my password and everything but it just doesnt work.
[Nook Color General] soonereng:
Have you tried turning WiFi off and then on again? This seems to work for me when wifi is acting weird.
[Nook Color General] DZ469:
by turn off, do you just mean press the wifi button in "Wireless & Networks" or the enable disable buttons in the dev tools? i've tried the first solution to no avail. I guess I could try messing around with the dev tools.

The nook doesnt have to be rooted for me to run this off my SD card right?

EDIT: I just went over to B&N to check if their wifi works. It does, so i don't know what the issue is. Possibly because my university uses 802.1x EAP for their network? The only thing that is fishy is that my nook at stock would connect fine.
[Nook Color General] soonereng:
Answer to your first question yes turning off and back on in Settings>Wireless.

I know I had mine working on my uni's network which has 802.1x but can't remember if it was stock, Froyo, or HC. Not currently on campus so I can't try it for you.
[Nook Color General] omega1alpha:
Google "SD formatter" and download the application. It's free and very easy to use and will format your SD cards.
[Nook Color General] DZ469:
That's what I was using, but the size seems to keep getting smaller and smaller. I'm losing about .01GB per format. :confused:

EDIT: Okay now the wifi is working in the dorms, and i hate to say this, because it's so humiliating, but I think i was using the wrong password to log into my wireless network. Which is probably why it hung on connecting. Which makes me feel dumb.
[Nook Color General] soonereng:
Well at least the wifi is working for you. :)

Have you tried formatting the SD with the Nook itself (assuming you're running off stock ROM?

Clockwork Recovery v3.0.0.5 for LG Optimus One/T/S + CyanogenMod 7 Gingerbread based ROM

Note:-Flashing Recovery is very risky you can brick your phone.

Download the attachment and extract both files to the root of your sdcard.

To flash: through adb shell or terminal type this from root # shell

#mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system

#cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image

#chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

#mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

#reboot recovery

Key combo to boot custom recovery from powered off is vol_down + home + power and release keys at LG splash.

Recovery Key mapping:

Up & down : vol-up and vol-down

Select : Menu

Backup : Back

This recovery will not allow you to flash every ZIP file. so me too is using the thunderg recovery.

CyanogenMod 7 (gingerbread) ported to LG Optimus (p500 - T): http://www.mediafire.com/?dlukmb73w93tae1

This is a first release. Many thinks did not work. But the system boot up, and is good.

Thinks that don't work:

3D

camera

Fm-radio

Think's that work:

Wifi

3g network

bluetouth

sensors

audio

GSM (Call, SMS, GPRS/EDGE, 3g)
