Default Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks for this ACL. I kind of retired my tilt2 but it had been so reliable and faithful it hurt to put it away.

With your android port, a Google Voice acct, and Groove IP, it is now a wifi based communicator and will be used daily as our "house" phone.

I totally agree! My Tilt2 is my backup phone and is very reliable with this build. I used it all day yesterday after my N1 battery died and had no problem at all.

I've probably asked a dozen times and a half, but where does the battery life here compare to GBX0B?

As in, worse, about the same, better?

(I've never gotten a reply to this particular question)

for me it doesn't hold a day normal usage...

so quite unuseable for daily use, at home no problem, on the road -.-

maybe its the inaccurate batterycharge detection but without 2nd battery it won't stand a whole day with calls and sms.

You probably never bothered to read after posting the question those dozen times because the answer has been posted countless times. GBX0B has a slightly better battery life than OMGB. With normal use (short calls every now and then, sms every now and then, and a little web browsing), OMGB will give u about 5-6 hours, and GBX0B will give you about 7-9 hours.

I read everything posted to me fairly well. As far as I know I've never gotten a satisfactory answer. That's not to say I didn't forget the answer, I am fairly forgetfull, but it was important-ish to me so that isn't likely. If I did miss it, then I apologize for posting again.

And thank you for answering my question.

Hi,
Could i using this build for normal daily tasks: sms, call, 3G ...etc with a battery life that acceptable?(1 days or more i guess)
I think that the change log in post 2 is outdated compare with many things were fixed in this thread so far.
So, i hope someone, with "right", could edit it so that we could know what we have/not have in this build.

Thanks

18 hours is about the longest battery life I've seen reported from any Rhodium Android build, with 12 being more common, but 6-8 isn't unheard of; it largely depends on your usage patterns. (Background data is a real killer.) SMS, voice, and 3G should work fine.

I doubled that (once) while running OMGB and documented the 38.5 hour run on PPCGeeks.

Since then I've seen battery life as low as six hours and as high as 30, with no real rhyme or reason, but I seem to average 12-14 hours.
