battery drain?

---

hi guys, i'm wondering if theres something wrong with me nexus s cause it drains battery really quick.

settings:
wifi - always on
background data disabled
display on lowest brightness
using go launcher
use phone couple hours a day. (maybe 3 - 4 hours on display?)

by the end of the day, im at like 10% or less battery. (unplug around 8AM and 10% around 15h later).

i went to sleep yesterday on full battery and didn't charge. woke up and i'm at 75%!

email seems to be the biggest battery drainer apart from display. i don't even use my email that often, but it always comes back in the 'running applications' list.

any way to fix?

What's your current setup? Are you running stock or a custom ROM and kernel?

A ~80% drain in 15 hours is something I have too btw, but some people get their device to last almost 2 days. Based on your usage, you should at least get around 20-24 hours.

One of the best enhancements the custom ROMs gave us, battery wise, is the Deep Idle mod. That'll make your battery drain maybe 2% over night.

You say the E-mail app is using the most battery... Maybe it's constantly checking whichever server you connect it to. The native Gmail app had battery drain issues in the very first releases of GB but those have been worked out a long time ago.

thanks for the reply

i'm on stock rom, no root.
also im using the email app not the gmail app (not sure if it makes a difference) and i set the update interval to never.

Can you go to Settings => Battery - Click the graph and post the top 5-6 stats from that list please?

Also, which version of Gingerbread are you running? The last one? (2.3.7)

And apparently I was mistaken, it was the E-mail client and not the Gmail client that had reported battery drain issues before:

just went from 83% to 66% from listening to uber music for half an hour and playing 10mins of angry birds at the same time...

tempted to root my phone just forbthe battery life. lool

That's not too abnormal, gaming asks a lot of the battery.

What is stopping you from rooting and trying out new ROMs? You have Nexus S after all, the possibilites are legion
