Good Aplication for Good Battery

my first post all..
emm i think battery calibration good choice..
but script from master development better than it..
how about u all...

You need root permissions in order to use Battery Calibration, if i remember right.
In my personal experience i wiped only once battery stats, ad i did it via CWM. Remember to fully charge battery before doing that!

I'm satisfied with this.

JuiceDefender plus or ultimate are good (ultimate doesn't do too much more than plus other than lots of fine tweaking for those who enjoy it), and if you're rooted CPU tuner is excellent to customise frequency and governor management over the range of battery. I actually prefer the UI of CPU tuner to SetCPU, and it is free.

IMPORTANT: wiping battery stats doesn't do anything for your battery life!!!

Hmm battery calibration not extend the battery life it only display accurate reading of your battery, your battery consumption depends upon the appication you are using and stock, although is a good result of battery although stock app is good and heavy loaded but still it have good battery beacuse of its coding in framework.odex files and it also depends on your baseband like i am using under config files
Rom- The myth ICS beta2
Rom build- Custom Stock ROM
Baseband- Previous was DDKQ6 now XWKS2
App use to save battery- Power MAx pro
My usage Type Heaviest icludes -approx 4 hour wifi,Youtube movie approx 3 hours, always on 3g connection, games 30 min or less, Music played 4 to 5 hours Calls 10-15 min, Messaging 2 hours and my battery last upto 18 to 20 hour without compromise Thus by good baseband with Custom stock rom and app u save your battery i wll upload my screenshot too
So its a good deal for me

Has anyone tried easy battery saver ?

My battery drain, in 56% , after 10min play Falling Fred, it has 38%

My Favorite configuration for O/C

So....long time lurker here....I've tried every rom for the revo, every config setting, every tweak, every update, and so far for speed, battery life etc when running Blitz....the best I can come up with is this:
wipe data/ factory reset in CWM
fresh install:
Gingervolt 1.3
Blitz 2.1
Rom Toolbox Pro.
Toolbox CPU settings: max=1900 min=245 governor=SMOOTHASS
Thats it.
If I go and install scripts....other tweaks....different configurations...they ALL drain the battery faster than that simple setup.
I have the extended battery and I am getting a nice slow drain with decent usage. Blazing fast speed too.
Sometimes LESS IS MORE....and with this phone...after 50 wipes and re-flashes....In my opinion, you will get the best battery life from that config.
I will update this thread with drain % over time...right now I will charge the phone 100% and take it from there.

So...after charging the phone to100%....waited until 3:55pm..then rebooted while plugged in phone untouched until 4:00 pm. I then unplugged the phone and checked battery life exactly at 5:00 ....6:00....and7:00. With ZERO phone use.....the phone....screen off in 4g mode will use exactly 3% every hour on the hour. This is with the settings in the first post.

Thank you very much. Really appreciate it. This works for me too. The Revo has now become very stable, fast, descent battery life. I did it by keeping stock, applying your changes and using Zeam Launcher. Not on Gingervolt.

I have been using the scripts for a week now, and I think I agree. I am sure it's my phone being argumentative. I am thinking of downgrading the supercharger back to the gingervolt, because I think that was the most optimal for my phone, and apparently Mike's too.
Thanks for your post.

next test was to fully charge the phone to 100% ...disable 4g....reboot....wait until 9:00pm andunplug. Again with zero phone usage I waited until 10:00pm. The phone only drained the battery 1%. It went from 100% to 99% in one hour in 3g mode with wifi disabled.
so the next test will be 3g mode with wifi enabled and no use.
after that I will try the phone with wifi enabled in 4g mode
i hope we can zero in on maximizing battery life once and for all.

so one thing i must say regardless of the standby tests.....is that i fully expect garbage battery life after overclocking this phone while i am actually using it. overclocking creates heat......and heat is wasted electricity. so its give and take....sure overclocking is great and the phone isblazin fast...but the battery pays the price.
so theres one thing that is a fact of this phone.....it is 100% impossible to overclock the revolution and get better battery life than what we had before overclocking. its never gonna happen. BUT what we can do is figure out the best way to maximize battery life when the screenis off....and hopefully this thread can start us in the right directiono

You should not see significant battery drain while using the phone. The idea of over clocking is so that multiple apps can run together without there being any jumping or lag. Your processor should not be running at 1900 when in the phone state. We all know 4g is a battery killer. I don't use 4g. This is a great thread you started.

Mine actually charges. I started nav the other day at 81 percent, and ended my drive on 83. I think I was in the car for 30 minutes, maybe 40.
Let's see what duder gets, I am very interested.

Running blitz 2.1 @ 1.9/245 with the OEM extended battery my temps never exceed 90f, monitored by battery ETA. That includes full HD streaming. So, not so concerned about overheating.

Phone running hot and draining battery -what could it be?

Since installing a new ROM, last night, my INCS has been running very hot and seems to be caning the battery.
I charged over night, unplugged it at about 7am and it is is dead already. I haven't been using much more than usual, and so it is concerning me slightly.
I was wondering if anyone could help me find out what is causing the issue and ways to resolve it?
Cheers!

Check the task manager to see what processes you have running. You can also check the battery settings and one of the screens will show what has been using the battery.
Have you tried rebooting the phone?

Thanks for the tips.
Nothing out of the ordinary seems to be running in the background, and most of the battery drain is the screen which isn't too much of a surprise. I don't have many apps installed yet.
Would it be worth installing a cpu monitor to check the cpu speeds, in case it is running too high?
On the stock ROM it would last a good 12 hours with moderate usage and a lot of apps installed and running.

You can try setcpu or whatever CPU utility depending on your rom.
You can set offscreen to a lower speed like 600mhz or so. See if that helps you out.

Thanks, I'll try that and report back.
What are the ideal cpu speeds for the INCS?

I dunno what Rom you're using. But I would recommend you to use all the battery until it shuts down. Charge it to 100% then use a battery calibrater

I'm using Virtuous Quattro RC3 (btw, love it!)
I've charged to 100% and I'll leave it on tonight and see what happens.

Right, I don't know what's changed, if anything, but I left the phone on over night to discharge and it is still at 55% and very cool to the touch.
I guess it just sorted itself out!
Cheers for the help though.

Best mods (Root) for best battery life and phone speed?

I have basically every script/ mod right now done to my Revo and I use Antutu Battery saver running at level 3 (best battery saver level). I still dont feel like I get good battery life, even when not using the phone too much. I have my cpu set on rom Toolbox running 1900/ 255 on smoothass governor, which constantly switches at random. Does it switch because of my battery saver im thinking? Either way, Im trying to figure out if I should wipe my Revo and restart with just Blitz and Rom toolbox for better battery, with still good speeds. Any suggestions if I wipe clean? Or any suggestions on what to do right now? Thanks!

I'm guessing ur using gingervolt... I've had this same issue on my revolution... I've researched it and everything... I've found nothing

I could be wrong but I'm guessing that setting 1.9gHz on the Max is just that, the Max. Not necessarily the "constant" CPU speed.

Now this might not be the answer you were looking for, but I had found that even with multiple power-saving measure my battery-life was still terribly short. The best thing is to get an extended battery, the one for the Revo is beast in size and battery life. Also, since you didn't mention it, changing from LTE to CDMA is also good if you're not really needing your 4G speeds.

Your battery life is probably not too good because of the 1900 mhz setting... I use set CPU and you can use different profiles (including screen off, charging, battery threshold below a certain percent, etc.). This helps, but I don't get great battery life without a program like JuiceDefender. The problem there is, though, that it slows my phone down to the point of it taking a minute to get working, and by that time I have already done what I need to do... sort of sucks.

I got the extended battery too and it is a world of difference. I can run all day and night without killing my battery. Even with moderate to heavy use, I can run through a whole day with no charger (and be comfortable). I just got mine through verizon for 24.99 the other week. I may have overpaid, but I don't trust amazon or ebay too much with some things.

I have an extended battery and I stay overclocked at 1.9gHz all day long. I don't use apps like juice defender or anything and I'm seeing 15-18 hours with moderate/heavy use.

I use 5 different battery programs to monitor my battery and save my battery, but for some reason my battery drains in an hour.
The thing I see on here the most: monitoring programs, 4g connections, flashing left and right. People need to go to YouTube, and watch the video on how Android phones work. They are constantly learning what apps you use or don't use, they are learning how best to operate for your needs. When you flash a ROM or tweaks, it has to relearn. Sure track your battery for a day or two, see what programs are doing what and when, but then get rid of the extra crap, your phones don't need it. If you want extra battery life, get the bigger battery, you all knew coming to a smart phone that battery life sucks. Stop using app killers, and monitoring programs, they run in the background. Turn off auto run programs so one program doesn't start another.

Has anyone measured the battery current? I would think if you are trying all these different setups and use scenarios the actual current draw is what you need to know.

the more programs running the more drain. Widgets are convenient but can be real power hogs. Simple and streamlined is the way to go for me. You can have an awesome looking / running phone by being selective with apps and avoiding redundancies. If i have an issue, i dl the program/s i want to troubleshoot with and when im done i uninstall. No need to use resources that could be used elsewhere. You can always dl the app again or save its apk to the external sd or a laptop or both (thats what i did). Ofc, it will have a new learning curve but settles in a couple days, for me anyway.

How's your battery life on the incredible s ?

I'm not sure that if my phone has a low battery life or others as well . When I go to bed , my phone was at 70% and I wake up after 8 hours of sleep . My phone dropped to 58% . Is that a normal case or should I get a new battery pack ?

Try CPU spy and see if there's any app which is keeping the phone from deep sleep.

i'm using 1800 mugen power battery. it's better on about 20/30 % and you can really see that. so if you want to buy new battery - better buy this one than original. i'm working with it for half of a year n everything is fine.
about your battery - yes, it can go in that way and its normal for our dev.

Mine is about the same as yours, 100% at sleep and 88(at times it's 87 or 86) or so when I wake up. But I think I slept for about 10h
Edit*
Atm it's at 80% and it has been on battery for 13h exactly

im having issue with poor battery life on this device too up to 5hrs ~)

A tip is to disable sweep2wake if you have it enabled. it consumes a lot battery. Since I disabled it yesterday my battery gained a couple of hours battery life.

Using Longevity on CyanVivo X Rom and very impressed with the battery backup, Lasting over 18 Hours with average 3G data use and gaming before it was like 8-10 hours with Juice defender. Don't keep data on all the time otherwise use longevity Worth a try!

Imo it's just placebo effect. I actually think that they waste battery than save.

About battery saving apps:
Some might help save some of your battery, like Juice Defender, but about 100% of the stuff that an app does is something you can do for yourself.
Like dim the screen when you don't need 100% brightness, turn off data and use only GSM when you don't need to use data (and if 3G has better reception it might be worth staying on 3G though, at least in my world a better reception would mean a little bit better battery than if you changed to the network mode with worse reception) and when you don't need WiFi - you turn it off.
Using apps to kill other services and apps are not a good idea either, since some apps will only restart and restart and restart while the task killer will keep killing = both apps will drain your battery.
And by turning off both WiFi and data and the apps are well designed, they should not try to look for updates and such if there are no available internet connections.
And, by undervolting you gain more than using different apps and such and if you then learn how to set up your device in the best way for battery you will get longer battery life.
If I don't use my phone so often, I can get about 2 days with 3G/GSM + WiFi turned on all the time and mobile data connection turned on all the time. If I use it a lot I still get long enough battery time to make a full day, usually I need to charge my phone every 18-24 hours when I use it to check mail, send some texts and read news (and XDA, as the addicted person I am).
Now, I just hope that I haven't f*cked anything up - I'm just too lazy to read it through.

I bought myself a Nexus 7 about a month ago to satisfy the cravings for that Jellybean goodness. After trying several ICS/JB roms on my IncS over the past year, I decided to revert back to the CM7 Nightlies. Much to my surprise it's almost as if I forgot how blazingly fast Gingerbread was.
Given how i use my IncS on a daily basis, I seem to be averaging around 34-36 hours before it hits below 5%. It really only gets used for calls, texts and wifi tethering to my N7.

I used to average 30% battery drain per day with light use with stock GB rom and kernal, it has upped to approx 50% per day with stock ICS rom, with lOst profit's overclock kernal running at 1400 wake and 368 sleep. ( setcpu )
Not bad considering 40% increase in processor speed, but less than 20% increase in battery usage.

I tried latest cm7 nightlies and it wasn't smooth at all so I reverted back to jellybean cyan x

keep in mind you have to give it a couple of hours , maybe even a day(depending on how much it has to do and your connection etc) Before the rom settles down after flashing. Then you can give your impression of it if it is laggy or not.
