Today my nexus one has been running for 261 hours, that's 11 days without rebooting it. Still going strong and smooth as ever.

I've done this test many times but always lose track cause it goes so long.

What's the longest running time you've had?

right now it's 162:36:07...08...09...10...11....


I don't think I've ever gone 200+ hours mainly because it's like a computer... after a while, a nice reboot helps!
think about it... CPU, RAM, ROM, Wifi/BT/3G Chip ... gotta give it a nice reboot once in a while!

Now if I had a Nexus S, my biggest uptime would be 10-15 minutes... what's with all those stories of it rebooting in the middle of calls???

1097.3 hours. 45 days, 17 hours, 18 seconds. I finally found up rebooting it to upgrade from Enom 2.12.x to 2.14.x ;)

I don't have the screenshot I made a while back, due to some dumbassery on the count of Dropbox adding a new PC and deciding it was the share to sync against; ie: nuking all of my Dropbox files, but anywho.... Uptime widget on my phone still has that as the max.

23d 5h at the moment..

I don't see any performance differences so why bother rebooting it.

EDIT: Aha, interesting, I did add an image here in a post of 44 days, a day or so before I rebooted.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9327323&postcount=730

Currently I have 642 hours but I had more.
Usually I only reboot due to upgrades or power loss.
I guess Gingerbread will break the next update...

how...

on...

earth...... what?

I am happy if i get 40 hours without hardly touching it! What the hell are you guys doing? data off all the time?
I believe there talking about on time not battery life.

My longest was a week needed it as an alarm clock in vacation. Usually I do a power cycle every morning.

You people obviously don't run nightly. lol
Nope, I use my phone for real stuff, not for playing with random roms ;)

If I had a secondary Android phone, perhaps... Like I know lots of folks who play with their G1 or such with nightlies, but I can't imagine doing it on my normal phone. I need to use it. And who has the time to set up stuff every time...

If you do want the normal battery life just turn off the data connection. My test I did last week turned my nexus one into a normal running phone just by doing this. Went 7 hours at work, with 1 hour of screen on time, and was still at 85%.

If I'm going out and need long battery life I'll just turn off the data, then check once in a while for new emails etc.

The whole reason android phones get poor battery is because the OS keeps an always on data connection. Even switching to WiFi shoots battery life way up.

You can *generally* flash a nightly update without wiping all your data. Backup just to be safe, flash - if it works, great. If not, set your stuff up. If you don't have time for that, just flash back to the backup. Easy :)

Could also use an application like JuiceDefender or Tasker to automatically toggle data at set intervals. This way you still get regular updates (emails, messages, etc), but at a fraction of the battery expense.
