I am wondering if anybody has noticed a real battery improvement after updating the official GB ROM? Probably it would be better if you could add some comparison numbers
i have the same question!!! and some people say that batery would be calibrate after some chargers... i haven't seen any improvment yet
Hopefully more people take a look at this thread and share their experience.
My own experience: NovaROM and GB V20N are the same, maximum battery I got for my daily usage are 1 day & ~10 hours. With CM7 I got max ~25 hours.
That's from my point of view, don't know other user experience, because it must have difference app installed and also difference daily usage..
Hi I am on V20B official GB for OB. Now I am getting 2 days Battery life for normal Usages (gprs, 20 calls, 50 sms, 30 Min. browsing).
Pre. in v10d (Froyo) OB is consuming 10-20% battery without any use in night. But Now it is 2-4% for whole night.
Easy trick is to disable WIFI, data and only enable 2G. U can also turn down the brightness of the screen, uninstall unused apps, sometimes reboot the phone when it's plugged to cable, cause to me it seems to clear some apps, that are running in the background and i dont wanna close em manually and screen-time-out time is also an important fact to look at.
Previously i have v10d, it last about 12-15 hours.
I updated to Zeus ROM and i have 18-22 hours now.
I turn on wifi 3-5 hours i think. To browse, check mails, etc. I also have have about 10+ calls and 10-15 SMS a day.
I used CM 7, Temasek Kang, V20N but until now when i´m using Zeus v2.1 i have about 36 hours, because i did battery calibration. It´s helpfull after flashing a new Rom. And of course wifi was turn on about 3 hours + 3g about 1 hour.

How does your battery last with continuous use(apps surfing)? Mine lasts about 2-2.5 hours. Is that about right?
That's horrible xD with continuous use I get like 5 hours if I use it to just send texts and surf the web a little and make a few calls I get 20 hours

Yeah.. i can do quite a bit of gaming, chatting, surfing, downloading and at the very worst i get 5 hours out of it

With continuous surfing, I get about 2.5 hrs from my nook color too. Runs Nightly 35, dalingrin's OC kernel @ 1.1GHz. Been noticing battery life decreasing since nightly 29 or around when madcat released his kernel with the video fix. (not putting the blame on either, just using as a reference point in time)
When I check batt stats, it says the display is 80% of the power consumption. I have brightness down to whatever CM7 default is (about 33% I think) so I dunno what's up with that...
Oh well, it's not like I can remember what stock was like anyhow, so I don't have anything to make me feel bad
About 4 hours of continuous movies.
About 5 hours surfing.
About 6 playing games with wifi off.
Standby is days.
someone explain sod and what we should expect in cm7 vs froyo, please. i'm going to bed.
I charge mine ~every 2 nights.
I use it 2-3 hours a day. Mostly browsing internet/flash.
I got used to using Setting Profiles Lite in stock Eclair, so I gave it a shot here.. I really don't need the wifi on all the time, so I set it up the way I did before, when the screen goes off, so does wifi. Screen on, wifi back on.
Battery is about .8%/hr, CM7 RC4.
I'm searching for custom ROM that has at least a decent battery life.
I'm on Darky's v10.1, but I'm getting Android OS bug very often (and then battery lasts for 5-6 hours), and when I'm not, battery life is around 10-12 hours. I'm pretty annoyed that my battery can't last for whole day and I'm looking for ROM that will give me at least 16 hours of battery life. Also it's preffered that ROM is pretty fast too. Thank you
Try XWJSD, the latest 2.2.1 firmware. Batery life is prety good and it is the fastest froyo so far. On my phone about 35 hours on normal usage..
Oh, I would like to have Gingerbread firmware, I don't feel like degrading my phone back to froyo :/
That's strange cos I'm on Darky's v10.1 and it's the best I've found so far. Battery is lasting me about 16 hrs on average, depending on what I use it for. Day to day use of calls, lots of texts, some internet and some pics can see 16hrs.
There is always this option: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1930mAh-REPLACEMENT-BATTERY-SAMSUNG-I9000-GALAXY-S-/250807245269?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a6546d9d5
Well, I guess it depends on what you use it for - but it's not enough for me. And I heard this battery isn't making much difference...
Ok, thanks for letting me know about the battery replacement. I was considering one of them for myself
Hey, unsure if this will interest you or not, but I use Juice Defender ultimate and it is absolutely amazing!
Depending on your usage (much of the time my phone is idling) and whatever settings you set, this app will make your battery last a very long time.
I've just check my phone's battery usage and after 15 hours I'm still on 78% battery.
Obviously these figures would change dramatically with more usage but just thought there wasn't any harm in letting you know about it if you didn't already know. 8)
PS: I'm using Darky's ROM v10.1.
I have the following ROM and battery consumption is very low. Try it and comment.
PDA: I9000XWJVH
Phone: I9000BUJV3 from BUJV9.
CSC: I9000OXAJVK
KERNEL :Voodoo test 6.0 de supercurio.
If you prefer, you can change the CSC file for another.
Greetings.
juwe's rom,always wifi on, with aggressive use more than 1 day,
moderate use 2 days
only calls and sms more than 2 and a half day!
try "Advance task killer" app
keep it to stop all program when screen off
and you will see the battery, better than before
Hi,
as I got the phone I already had bad battery life, so I made a factory reset, maybe it helps. It didn't, 1 hour of playing(not even 3d game) ate 40% of my battery, on 2g network and 40% display brightness.
I decided to put on the EURO open(jun 25) and root the phone. I uninstalled a couple of system apps(car home, unused apps, etc), and also put on minfreemanager on agressive settings(to kill background apps consuming battery).
It helped absolutely nothing. I disconnected the phone from the charger in the morning around 6am, and by now with approx 20 minutes of gaming, downloading it's only 75% left.
I also discharged my battery 2 times to 0%, and turned on repeatedly to kill the battery, and once recharged while it was on, once recharged while it was off. Helped also nothing.
some info if needed:
baseband: 1035.21_20110725
kernel: 2.6.32.9
build: FRG83G
LGE ver: LGP990-V10d
Please help, it would be such a good phone without this battery issue ((((((((
Install juicedefender

I installed it in the stock one, but it didn't help.
As I see I have problem when the phone is active, and I do something with it.
When my phone is sleeping it seems okay tho.
I played stupid zombies for 10 minutes just now, and it went down from 70% to 65%. This means every hour battery dies 30% which is actually 10% better then yesterday with the stock rom before this open EURO. It still is pathetic, that you can only play 3.3 hours and your battery is dead
My SGS was able to hold on at least until 5 hours with heavy usage.
I don't know guys my phone can last for 3 days only using for phone calls. Watching 2 hours of youtube can last 2 days.
Maybe because i don't use any Internet via mobile network.
I don't use task killers. After reading this http://lifehacker.com/5650894/andro...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them
I always charge the phone when the battery goes to 0%.
Autobrightness is always on.
Always use 2G networks and Data is disabled.
Useing Modaco Fear edition 12.6.
with baseband 622.
with TW Launcher.
5 Homescreens full of widgets.
and useing Watchdog Task Manager for monitoring what app uses cpu most.
So im very happy with my phone with heavy use i can still manage 24 Hours (Browsing, playing, Youtube). And maybe 6-7 hours of max usage.
I had about 5 hours of battery life on idle when I first got the phone brand new. I'm getting about 40 hours on idle now with Fear 12.6. I'm still testing whether underclocking cpu while idle will improve battery performance. But i dont use any app-killer and do NOT use JuiceDefender, it doesnt work well with this phone. Havent updated baseband, using stock _20110405, make sure you have matching RIL to baseband, so dont simply update baseband.
Try cronos Tom, it has been optimized battery driver, I've just bought brand new 2x 2 days back, my battery was lasting hardly whole day with 2-3 hour wifi usage then i read somewhere its a known issue with with 2x, not same like ur case, then I try various roms the only rom that gave me longest battery life on my phone is cronies mod, try it

Its here and a very good rom.

In threads in the Optimus2X development forum I often see posts that praise the battery life using new ROMs or basebands or RILs. The numbers always surprise me and make me jealous. I have read about some guy whose phone loses about 3% battery during the night, or some other guy who still had 75% battery left after 7h of 'normal' usage.
Today, I unplugged my phone from the charger at ten in the morning and 3 hours later, I had 80% battery left, with the phone only resting in my pocket in standby. Now, about 8 hours unplugged from the charger and less than normal use (15 min browsing, one GPS localization, two SMS sent) I am 25% battery.
I have disabled WiFi, decreased display brightness to the lowest value, always disable GPS & bluetooth unless I need it (which is very rare).
I am currently on owain's CM9 build 62, baseband 313 and RIL 218. I have also tried BB 725/RIL 725 (which caused big problems) and BB 420 / RIL 1120. Both did not give me a noticeable longer battery life.
Whats up with my phone or battery? How can I extend my battery life to the numbers said in the beginning?
battery
buy a bigger battery
i have a 3500mAH battery
more then 2 day on 1 charge
look on dealextreme
12 hours 30 mins, with 25% battery left
Over locked to 1.4ghz
Screen on 2 hrs
Calling 2 hrs
So yeah , I guess its pretty heavy use...
It also goes alright (;

i would say something is definitely wrong with your phone, rom or kernel. i use my phone even to play, games like dead space and more, and my battery always lasts for 1 day at least, also oc'd to 1.4 ghz.

I had the same prob, But I solved it,
now my phone survives a full day with normal usage.
Receiving/sending mails tweets facebook post G+ browsing the web etc.
try to drain your battery until your phone shuts down by itself
then fully recharge it after that unplug it and start it up again,
I hope it helps it did so for me.
Hi! I have a major problem with my phone:
Please help me to get at least 3-4 hours of screen per one charging,
From the very beginning of the phone (with android 4.2) the maximum screen time was 2,5 - to a maaaximum of 3 hours per charging. The average usage was: maybe 30 minutes of call time, 20 sms, 1/2 hrs of web browsing/facebook, maybe 2 hours of music with bluetooth headset, 20 min of gaming - not heay games.
After 4.3 update the battery life dropped.
But with 4.4 android I barely get 1 -1,5 hrs of screen time (considering the average use of the phone written before) - i deactivated location.
- i checked the battery usage but google services didn't drain a lot of battery power like some users complained. I mean I could have survived with the battery consumption in android 4.2 (despite some users had 7 hrs of screen time), but i am curios how to get more battery life (now i miss those 2,5 hrs of screen time :/). If it helps i can upload some usage stats, but there is nothing unusual in them, only the things i use.
As a conclusion i wonder how can i make the battery last longer or how can i optimize my phone to get a decent battery life? Thank you all in advance.

Listening to music via a bluetooth headset and playing games consumes a lot of battery. Try to enable stamina mode and stop playing games. Besides that use WiFi instead of mobile data.
Try all this and you will see that the battery lasts longer
i have stamina mode enabled.If its weekend i don't listen to music (i only listen at work) and the battery still doesn't lasts any longer. Do you find an average of 1 hr and 15 minutes of screen time to be a good battery usage time?

No it is not.
To check your battery open service menu and go to service tests - battery.
How many apps do you have installed? Do you have root access?
i have a total of 6 menu pages of apps, but i barely use 3-4 apps. I looked into running apps and only 7-8 extra apps are running constantly besides the normal processess, but in usage stats they don;t appear as battery consumers (ex. kaspersky). I never had root access into this phone. I'm waiting until there will be no more official updates for this model
- at sevice tests, battery it says: good, no need to replace it

Root and an unlocked bootloader are two different things
With root you could install battery stats for better analytics of your batterylife and appops to control the permissions of your apps.
i know, i had my previous phone routed (xperia T), and i installed custom roms in it etc (especially because of lagging). But before 4.4, the software of tihs phone worked perfect (no lags) so i had no interest in forcing running apps to close. but as i read, hope in a few weeks we get the update, if it's good i'll gona keep it and root the phone, else =>downgrade to 4.3 followed also by root

Yeah I had the T, too, and 4.1.2 was a pain.
Please report back when you've testet your battery without bluetooth and gaming
When I'm at University I listen about 2 - 3 hours per day to music via bluetooth. My screen on time is about 2-3 hours. But I don't play and use wifi mostly.
ok, i will. Thanks
