If you want to save max battery. Turn off 3G and only use 2G. Then lower brightness. Reduce frequency of app updates.


Those are the best tips. I keep brightness on auto. And I keep updates to once an hour for most things. It give me a solid day.

Thanks!

I downloaded setCPU and have it so that the processor goes down to 800mhz when the screen is off.

I am not sure if that is helping or not though.. still struggling with battery life.

Get JuiceDefender Ultimate. It helps to automatically turn off your Data Network and your wifi whenever your not using your phone, it reopens them periodically to check for any updates on ur apps. Smart app and it has saved me x2.3 of my battery life.

thanks!

Do you think juice defender ultimate is better than setCPU?

Disable fast dormancy. *#9900# and the select disable fast dormancy and then save.

Here are some tips for prelonging battery life:

1 - Don't use 100% screen brightness at all times - 50-60% is enough, only increase it when you need to then lower it again.
2 - If your planning to use the phone for long periods, 30 minutes or more constant use then once again use 25% or so brightness
3 - When browsing/surfing the net use the lowest possible brightness as this is the biggest battery killer. Unfortunately our AMOLED screens suck a lot of juice when displaying white...
4 - Try to keep most, if not all applications to manual updates only. Otherwise decrease the update frequency.
5 - Use an alternative launcher. I find for example using LauncherPro uses less resources/cpu/ram than the default touchwizz launcher. Therefore using less ram/cpu saves battery!
6 - If your gonna game for hours then I suggest 0% brightness!
7 - Last but least watch your apps. Some apps are poorly optimized/coded and can take up a lot of ram and cpu which then eats away at your battery!

In my case, disabling fast dormancy helps save some battery. Tough not to a big extent.

Use Screen Adjuster or Voodoo display filter to further lower screen brightness.
Install and use app that has a night mode. Eg, config opera mobile to use a user css to render white text on black background.

Hey,
Before you should know that android collects statistics on your battery in order to "learn" its behavior so within the first days of use you will see a constant improvement if you battery performance.
there are also a few apps that runs in background and has the annoying habit to drain your battery:
wifi sharing
wi-fi sharing manager
social hub
try to disable those apps using gemini app manager or titanium backup.
