[Q] Battery Thoughts....?

danial.aw · Apr 28, 2012

Rom: Ordroid 3.0.2
Kernel: bricked 1.0 - default 1566/192/486, low OC gpu
Battery: Anker 1900
Auto Brightness
3G mode only (cuz of network)
Undervolt: -50 from stock bricked voltage

With those settings... in 1 hour of screen time I have seen to gone from 89% battery to 40% :S...

is it just me... or does that seem a bit drastic fall? I see people with 5 hour screen time... how are you guys achieving this....

please if you can include all your setting as well....

PS: is there better battery savings in sense 3.6? or does it make no difference?

It depends on what you do. If you play some really hardcore games. It's going to be like that. If you just browse the web you should be able to achieve the 5 hours mark. It can also be that the battery memory is not accurate.

The 3g only mode chew through battery too, but not to the point of 40% in 1hour.

I just find that very ridiculous that's all -_-

do a restart after that 1hour and see if battery level pump up again..

if it is .... it would be fine

Ya I've noticed if I restart it does jump battery up a bit... But that drains very quickly too....

Longest battery I have gotten was 16hr on wifi... But the screen on time max was 2 1/2 hours... Which makes no sense cuz my s2 has a smaller battery but I could use it a lot more

I have the same rom and kernel but using the stock battery and I have never got more than 2hours on hsdpa browsing. It is extremely annoying to not have the ability to go somewhere without carying a charger. But at the same time I found out that my phone has very good battery life when sleeping. It never drains more than 3% over night (7-8 hours). So the problem is that the screen drains battery quite a lot. Also my phone gets really hot in the lower area of software buttons, is anybody else experiencing this?

danial.aw · Apr 28, 2012

Yep that overheating happens to me as well if I'm playing a game or something for 15 minutes or so... I read that that's a hardware issue with no fix :S...

And yep that's the same battery life I get... Which is very sad ... Really no way to use this phone as a work phone with the pathetic screen time -_-

I only do that and the best I can get is 2.5 hours with a 1900mAh.

Its only a bad calibration charge to 100% drain it to 0 3-4 times once thats done it should be better if not try wiping battery stats ...

Is this a sense 4 thing? Or is that normal for all roms?....
I would rather downgrade than having a phone that's off ...

Maybe try turning off the auto brightness.
Set a bit lower.
The screen is the main culprit to suck the battery.
