Hopefully xperia users to conserve energy while the battery driver is fixed.
PLS state:
1) screen on idle battery usage xxxmA (no airplane mode with screen on)
2)standby screen off xxxmA
3)as much as u can on what u did, which build
4) any other optional tips.
PS. Use the currentwidget from the forum to check. Do not download from the market as it is older and xdandroid will show 0mA (incompatible)
1) mine is 220mA
2)standby 190~210
3) started running with LCD density- 190 on first boot , default in tremeres 27/9 build is 200.
Advanced task killer - under security set to low, restart the app and kill EVERYTHING. Absolute minimum backlight.(That's all I think)
4)Running music during standby helps abit...
Anyone out there has a better battery usage?

Hi all.
I'm experiencing some sort of battery leak, but nothing is jumping out at me. Went to bed ~ 95% and woke up to ~ 20%.
Battery Use Stats:
Cell Standby - 44% (TWS - 0%)
Phone Idle - 45%
Voice Calls - 6%
Display - 3%
Dialer - 2%
Here is the software info:
Firmware - 2.1 Fresh Toast
Baseband - 2.42.00.03.10
PRI - 1.70_003
PRL - 60664
Running OC Widget on detect settings & autokiller on aggressive.
Using SpareParts - Partial Wake Usage - Calendar has the largest bar above Android System (yet I really don't use the calendar for appointments).
Any thoughts/tips/tricks would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Jerry
I'm assuming you have reboot the phone?
In addition, on your OC widget what your setting for screen on and screen off?
I'm still playing with setting that best for me and the phone. However, this is my current setting for OC widget: for screen on 729600 for min and Max and screen off 245760 for min and max. I saw if I did't select differ freq for screen off, the CPU was run at same speed at screen on. Compare the 2.1.1 I'm getting average 8-10 hr of battery. I'm guessing OC might drain battery faster. Maybe I'm wrong.
Yes, I have rebooted since loading. I used the auto-detect settings for the OC Widget, but I guess that could be an issue. 8-10 hours of battery seems low to me? I was getting near 24hrs average (some higher, some lower) on Fresh 2.0d.
Here are the settings:
OC Widget Settings:
Screen On - 245760,384000
Screen Off - 245760,384000
I guess that could be an issue.
What's your awake perentage at?

Strange I have mine set higher than your for screen on.
Still battery hr for me. I know 2.1.1 I was getting at least a day an half with moderate use.
Like abcdfv said what your awake and uptime?
Up time: 20:35
Awake time: 5:57
Awake time looks good.
Try this setting on your OC widget:
480000 min and 576000 max. It may or may not help.
Thanks for all of your help.
Would this be for both screen on & off?
Screen on.
For screen off I have mine set at 245760 for min and max. So far battery life is OK. Since unplug at 7:45 AM (100%) and now it at 66%. Few calls, web surfing and facebook. Roughly 1 hr 20 mins usage of phone and 4hr 30 mins standby. I know compare to 2.1.1 it not great battery life.
Thanks - I'll try that.
So far, I might head back to Fresh 2.1.1 if this battery life stays like it is running Fresh Toast.
You could also try running RegawMod, I have had noting but good to say about the ROM so far and battery life is wonderful! I use Strict I think on ak though., stay around 60MB free ram if that helps at all.
Thanks for the help. I decided to factory wipe, wipe SD and cache. I then flashed Fresh 2.1.1 and my battery life is back to normal. Might play with Fresh Toast some more later.
Thanks for all of your help.
force your CPU to lower rate can reduce Power Consumption , e.g. 400MHZ is ok
turn off google sync and background sync , turn off wifi when not used
kill apps not in use
dim your screen
use the latest kernel, then ur android will last till battery is empty

thanks to @fajarep
Use the Neopeek's Android Ports ,it is a different way of intalling android and the battery works perfect!
more tips are welcome
how long you will get if you lower cpu clock???

a little longer as it is 400mhz . my friend says 200mhz is good ,but so slow
too bad the kernel doesn't have complete iptables modules, i need to have that. currently i'm using my own kernel..
the CyanogenMod 6.1 is wonderful , and much battery saving
Hey guys i use ICS333 ROM with Semaphore kernel 1.2.6s.
I use 2g with low brightness all the time..
still i get 3-4 hours of battery backup while surfing,
sync is OFF
google data backup is also off
i use
ondemand40
smooth ui
lock min scale
i/o
deep idle
whatelse i can do to extend battery backup?

The first step in prolonging your battery life is to find out which apps and components are using the power.
Press the Menu key, tap Settings, scroll to the bottom of the Settings menu and tap About Phone. Tap Battery Use in this menu to see what's eating the charge.
Better is use Gsam battery monitor, if you have apps eating your battery this app will find them.
Lock maximum frequency to 800 or 400. Phone will be slower but you'll get better battery performance.

It's very saddening but this is the case for me.
I have battery saver app installed but it doesn't help very much.
Is there any good power saving tips or perhaps a ROM really good for battery life?
can I replace my TP's battery?
What ROM are you using?
fat n-creamy CM10
1) check your wifi sleep settings and ensure it is set to off when not in use
2) set your minimum frequency to 192 instead of 384. However some people have seen SODs when set at this frequency
3) Use better battery stats to see if there any wakelocks.
I am getting around 0.5% using JCSullins 20121216 CM10 build.
Hey! I've just bought S5 yesterday and I know it's still premature to evaluate my phone's performance. I've made my first 100% to 16% with the phone and my stats were.
Phone on: 18h
Screen: 3h
Bright auto -5, wifi on, 3g on all time.
I find it is not as much as I expected but I must admit there was an update in between of the OS, and many updates in the play store which probably drained my battery higher than normally. Then I've checked tips for reducing consumption and that what I made:
- install battery guru
- disable syncs in google account
- disable updates in play store (notifications and so)
- disable some samsung apps
- disable gestures and movements
- location on power saving mode
However, my intention in this post is to gather more tips you are using with samsung rom (no root). Disable accounts or whatever you do...
Anyway, I guess I should expect an improvement in the battery life in coming charges...right?
Thanks!
Battery guru even sucks more battery than its saves, because it needs google service -.-'
I use:
Faux kernel - with my own tweaks, for hopefull best performance and battery life. OC 2.7
Greenify - to Slumber apps / System apps (Paid)
Unbounce - to lower the wake ups etc. (Paid)

Stop Log - Turning off trash for speed up and battery life
Everything is turned off except:
Wifi - When home and somewere were its not locked.
Mobile data - Always on

I would love to change the black/gray to Pure black, to save more battery life, Gravity box could do this trick, but the app froze my phone somehow, now that its gone it works fine like before. so if you can change it do it.
Thanks! I've removed battery guru. I know that without rooting phone I may not be able to disable many things but I guess I can avoid some wakelocks coming from the pre installed software. Right? Which of them could be? Should I disable Samsung account? Any app that replaces S health in using the heart rate sensor? I think this is the only functionality I would have to keep which needs a Samsung account
Summing up , things that could make android os and system android reduce

Do you have root and recovery?

My #1 tip would be before you look at how bad ur battery is. realise these are smartphones. and we buy them because of connectivity. why buy a smartphone if you keep turning of its ability to be smart
these phones run HD displays constant internet connectivity and all sorts of sync options
Sock12345 - I don't have it rooted yet. I'm thinking about it because I don't want to have the warranty avoided. I don't know how is the law concerning this in Spain. However, I would like to root it so that I can find out thexactly drainers and get rid of them. I will check this possibility
-PiLoT- you're totally right. Maybe I am asking too much to the phone which works incredibly well. But I have the feeling that some pre installed apps maybe battery drainers. Maybe they do not drain as much as I think...
