[Q] Battery optimization?

---

How can I make my battery last longer? I am using set cpu and various profiles to give me the best optimization I can, however my phone barely makes it 10 hours with light use *1hr web browsing, avid txting, light music listening via music on phone ~ 1 hr as well.* I'm not faulting the phone. I just want to know what can be done to get the most out of the stock battery as I see people getting results twice as good as mine and just done get what I'm doing wrong here.

Thanks for the help in advanced.

I have the exact same problem as you. Are you using unnamed with Enthropy's experience kernal as well? I'm about to flash cm7 to see if I can get better results.

I used cm7 for a while now using UnNamed and cm gave marginally better battey life but

Just use the dang phone . You dont need to do anything special for great battery life. Try a factory reset if theres a problem though. Im rooted on cog beta 4 getting amazing battery life. I talked my mom imto getting this phone over the new iphone and hers is completely stock and she knows nothing and doesnt close any apps and gets the same amazing battery life as i do.

Reset and use it. If you cant get through a day of heavy use the phone is defective.

+1....or you have wakelocks. Find BetterBatteryStats and CPUSpy. BetterBatteryStats will tell you if something is preventing the device from going into deep sleep. I like to use "wakelocks since unplugged." CPUSpy will tell you the amount of time your device spends in each frequency, including deep sleep. For this, you'll need to reset the timers each time you unplug the phone.

Its add easy as flashing cm.... I went 15 hours and still had 60% left. with OC. Nothing else special (aka no juice defender our set CPU). The only trick is deleting everything in the dcim folder (known medias bug ) you'll see 1% battery loss per hour, with fb and GV sync

BBS sometimes misses wakelocks, for even more info, grab the contents of /proc/wakelocks and post them here.

my solution: keep a charger with you anywhere you go
I have a car charger, home charger and work charger (as do most people)

Thanks for all the replies. I'm sure there's go to be a work around for this

Not sure about a workaround. From everything I've seen, the max battery life is around six hours when the screen is on. Basically, if your screen has been on for 4-5 hours, it's time for a recharge.
