Hi guys
Now that some of you have been running 2.3.3 for almost 24 hours can you tell us what the battery life is like, at the moment I am running CM7 and finding the drain really bad, with 2.2 i was getting 36 hours on stock, with CM7 i am getting about 18 hours.
So just want to know if 2.3.3 stock is around the same as stock 2.2
Cheers guys

i've had it for almost 24 hours and i've had WAAAAY better life on my battery.
we'll worth it !
Stock N1 2.3.3
what are you at after 24 hours ?
I noticed that the 100% battery level remains after ~6 hours standby with a few minutes of wi-fi.
I am stock and unrooted all the way. Seems that the update also updated my baseband version from 4.06 to 5.08. Is that the key to the reported battery life improvement.
Perhaps the new UI with more black on an amoled screen helps too.
My battery life went down hill quickly
I also posted this in a more recent thread:

Since manually upgrading to 2.3.3 on Thursday, my battery life has gone down hill quickly. It appears that Android OS, which never consumed more than 2% of battery life, is the biggest culprit here.
I haven't done anything differently (no new widgets or apps). So the only difference is Gingerbread.
I hope that there's a way to fix this.
I have cm7 rc1
watched a 2 and a half hour movie (pirates of the carabian, at the worlds end) last night (with the headphones plugged in) (cpu clocked at 844hz max)
movie played fantastic at 24 fps on average..
battery drain from 58% to 36%

Hey guys, I hope I can get a few recommendations regarding Gingerbread Roms with gooooood battery life.... Currently I am running on MIUI mcgv.3 or something and the battery drain is just pissing me off....
I looked through the Rom list too but none stated how the battery life was on them..
Also I would like to have the ROM as minimal as possible, just all the tweaks (dont really care about themes, roms or unlocking screens)
So guys, any help and recommendation is appreciated ))
thanks a lot!!!
Best battery on a Gingerbread ROM I found using Criseklo v56.
Newer versions didnt last that long. Search in google Criskelo v56. I can get easily 40+ hours on that.
im using darky's 10.1 and the max i managed was 1d 20hours with 3g on like 3 hours
alright, thanks guys, I will check em both out )
FuguMod + Insanity Rom. 2+ days easy
I've gone from simply honey to darkys 10.1 and I could get more use out of simply honey. Seemed to have less glitches too.
I think GingerCriskeloV66 is also good !!
try it >>
I'm using MIUI 5.31. Left my Phone on for the night with Data + wifi on.
It went from 100% (which is fake. It's actually 98%) to 92%. That's pretty cool for an almost 10 hours sleep. Especially for this ROM which used to be a battery hogger! But now I love it =)
I'm on stock JVO + CF-root. Flashed another modem and a wifi driver from Latest BCM4329 (WiFi) driver for Gingerbread. Getting about 4 days on light usage with wifi, GPS, data sync on all the time. I have 1% battery drain over 2-3h on standby.
Iám on Simply Honey 3.5 Revolution! 1day 20hour with 1500mAh Battery!

I'm using GingerReal 5.0 with Darkcore 2.5 :
Phone (average 1h use) with datanetwork off and mostly on standby 3+ days
Phone (average 2-3h use) with datanetwork and 3G on it lasts 36 hours.
Phone (average 2-3h use) with datanetwork and 3G on and 3 exchange acounts it lasts 21 hours.
Brotuk's stockrom jv9 with damiens 2.1 kernel using it heavily I got an honest 28hrs.
Sent via ET and he phoned it in.
After using Samsung stock ROMs for over a year I finally switched to CM7.1(Stable) last week. But the battery life I'm getting now is not as good what I used to get with Samsung stock ROMs. With JVT I easily got 24hrs, but now I cant go beyond 15hrs with same usage patterns (3G during day and WiFi at night, few short calls and around 50 SMSs, with a bit of web browsing and some online audio streaming). Did anyone else notice a similar battery life drop going from a recent stock ROM to CM7.1 ?
I ran the CM7 nightlies until recently and came back to JVT because of battery life and the hello hello bug. I use my phone as a music player for most of the day and find that stock ROMs hardly deplete the battery at all, with CM7 I was getting the same sort of life as you.

For me, CM 7.1 Stable drains battery a lot. I've changed to JVP modem and it seems to be a bit longer, maybe I'll try with Fugu kernel.
Looks like I'll be going back to JVT. Idling battery drain is way too much. For example I charged it around 8 last night and by 12 noon today, battery is down to 45% mostly just idling and few texts. This is as bad as original eclair release came with the phone.
I personaly dont find there to be a huge difference but i am on Bell which is HSPA only (3G all the time)
i find i always have to recharge by 4 pm (8 am wake up) but i am a heavy user. I am waiting for my extended battery so i can make it through a day.

What was the last stock ROM you used ? I used to get similar battery life with earlier ROMs, sometimes I had to charge it twice in a day depending on usage. But with recent ROMs (2.3.3 and up), I ever hardly charged it twice, despite very heavy use (more than an hour of calling , GSM/VOIP, about an hour of internet audio streaming etc..). IMO stock ROMs are really good at idle power consumption, I have managed to get 2 days with light use, a full day with moderate use and more than 10hrs with heavy use.
EDIT : CM7 is smoother and quicker; I also like the customizability. I’ll again give it a try when ICS comes out , but till then I'm back to Samsung Stock, because poor battery life simply kills the experience for me. Perhaps I can squeeze couple of hours more with some tweaks, but I doubt it'll be as good as JVT.
I myself have come back to 2.3.5 xxjvt cos coming from cm7.1 and darky 10.2 final..i should say stock rom can have a standby time of more than 24hours believe that..otherwise ics might have a lot more to over than gingerbread
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I hope when ics is released by cyogenmod battery life gets better this is why ive not updated to 7.1
Hello U all.
Can somebody give me a link to the CM7.1 stable for i9000?
Thank you.
Which (2.2 and 2.3) ROM has the most battery life? With normal using. (Daily one hour calling. And one hour using mobile data or wifi, one hour playing with Cut The Rope or Angry Birds Rio on the boring university. )
rom 23 have more features (not important)
rom 2.2 give high battery backup so.... my recommend use 2.2 thtsalll
2.2 definitely has longer battery life. 2.3 for better performance.
I think froyo got good battery life. best froyo ROM is froyobread imo. try it. (if u want to )
it's okey, but which 2.2?
becouse i'm trying now FroyoPro v2.2 but i'm not seeing any difference between this and 2.3 roms (GingerDX v20, MiniCM 2.1.6, GingerXperiaRay_V003 (<-the best 2.3 rom ))

For me, the most battery life had MiniCm6(Froyo), i think it is the best 2.2 rom, on froyobread i had some battery drain issues, Froyobread has more features than MiniCm but unfortunately, it had problems for me..

XGin. Latest is XGin 6.1, 2.3.7. For me is the best battery life with normall usage (I call a lot) about 3 days. Of course depending on talking time....
Cheers,
I think 2.2 because developers have longer time to work with 2.2 than 2.3 and 2.2 fit better with x8' hardware
sr my bad E
I have 3 x8's and I have tested all roms apart from ics. Gingerxperia v21 gave 6 days to 33% in airplane mode, kuyadroid(my favourite) gives around 6 days until dead in airplane mode and 3-4 days of using gsm.
All other roms give me 2-3 days.

Hey all
I'm happy with my phone, currently running wiui on it
I wanted to hear whats yours longest battery time ?
What ROM and kernel was used ?
Mine personally is for now 17 hours on a normal workday
running on stock 2.2 ... with miui (the last version) I had 6-7 hours :
I am on Django 0.5 with HP RC-11R and i am on 29% presently after 2days 14hrs...with mild to medium usage with little wi-fi, small usage of 3G and voice calls medium.....I am greatly happy....it all depends on how you keep the battery calibrated, system usage, charging cycle pattern and a few more....
It was almost the same with Topo's ROM, Blazing Dragon and also Thanatos 5.1....so it is a bit of care and great magic from our developers....
Hats off all you guys who are making LG O2X such a entertaining and stable device.
medium use (3g on, mail, facebook, twitter, google +, movies, some games, video calls) : 6-7hrs
hard use (wi-fi on, mail, facebook, twitter, google +, movies, lots of games, video calls, messeging, some apps, gps) : 3-3,5 hrs
Stock 2.3.4 20L
with medium use (3g always on or wifi if available; 30 min surfing; few smsing (around 10) and calling (30 minutes); no gps; 30 min gaming) leads to around 24 hours of battery life
I'm really happy with my cm kanged by temasek (#30) and vadonkas kernel (#12.jan)
kind regards

I did not know that Topo was doing CM7Kangs for LG O2X.....does he? can you give me a link?
With low use (some textmessages and 15min gaming, 2g and wifi) i get around 30hours (HP kernel v20o)
I once lasted 4,5days when i travelled to france. I don't know how but the battery life was much better over there. (stock v20b)

Im running 15 hours on latest WIUI ROM
really want more hours.. tired of charging every evening and night
Realistically 15/20 hours is about right for a smartphone nowadays. Unless companies start making phones a bit thicker so larger batteries can go in them.
Unless you really edit the phone, underclocking etc, you wont be able to push more than 1-1/2 days out of the phone.
Can I recommend better battery stats app available either on the market or on xda. Helped me discover a few apps that kept running (partial wakelocks) all the time and therefore affected battery life.

I'm using Battery Monitor Widget AND SystemPanel Lite
I just envy the iPhone guys... I'm repairing iPhones in my spare-time, and the batteries arent any bigger than ours (1500mAh)
but they last 2-3 days, because of the way better battery management and optimized hardware
But when thats said, I would never leave this open-source world !
just look around, all the ROMs and free stuff we can get, they cant Muhahaha
