Battery life in standby?

[superflysocal]

I did a little experiment with battery life, particularly in standby mode.

Wifi is on, and the weather/clock widget updates every 2 or 4 hours.

After 24 hours not using it at all, battery life went down to about 94%.

On an ipad2, after 24 hours, it is at 99%.

On, ipad2, most notifications if not all are turned off. Could this be the reason for the discrepancy? Any ideas to make it better? Should I have weather update 1 every 24 hours and update manually as needed?

I notice I cannot set the update interval for mail? Is it because it is push and not pull?

really? standby time is important to me. I go through spurts of not using the tablet but I don't want to have to keep the tablet plugged in.Turning it off means I have to wait for boot up to use it real quickly.

I have it turn my wifi off while screen off and with build.prop tweaks I get 7 days b4 I have to charge... Or... Get juice defender in market and it will handle the wifi and syncing to give you much greater battery life.

It lost 6% in 24 hours. That means it will take over 16 days to drain. I doubt many users will see this as a problem.

I guess you could uninstall any widgets you have and keep it in power saving mode. Turn off wifi. Check the apps section in the settings menu and see which ones are running in the background and uninstall them.

Otherwise, buy an ipad if you want ipad specs.

I'm at 87% at 2 days and 10 hours right now. I have FW .29 and SeanZ's tweaked build.prop. I'm happy with it personally.

Personally I've been pretty thrilled with my battery life. I've never had a device before that would still be at 99% after four-five hours on standby tweaks or not - and the biggest tweak I've done is disabling weather (I've gotta save something for my phone to do).

Get the keyboard and use it like a docking station.

The tablet slips in it pretty easily.

I'm not really happy with the standby time so when I'm not around or sleeping I shut it down.

Probably shutting down WiFi is the most important battery saver. Either by hand or with an app.

edit: Except apps producing wakelocks, of cource. Better Battery Stats helps.

what is this tweaked build.prop and where do I get it? Is root required?

+1 this. I have to say, I was a bit skeptical before I updated my build.prop file. But when I did, I noticed an immediate speed boost and much much much better batter performance.
