Every day I play Alpine a long time,But Its battery only 1300Mah,If I have been playing,It only can use at least 7hours,why Alpine's battery life time so little?Who has got solution?
I think you should use the 1600 mAh battery (PH17B battery series) to make your battery lifes longer. I've been using it on my O2 Xda IIi.
Battery life depends on what you are doing with it of course...:
Make sure you have IR turned off.
If you are in a bad mobile coverage area that will run down the battery faster.
WiFi being on kills battery life.
There is also a normal/turbo option in power settings to change the processor speed.
Turning down the backlight brightness can help a lot as well.
I'm sure there ae other things that can conserve battery life...
Hi All;
I have a Modaco's custom ROM (the latest) installed on my Tattoo and I noticed one issue.
Of course, I am not sure if this has been caused due to my custom rom or otherwise, but has anyone notice the ever reducing battery backup capacity in your tattoo's ??
If I charge my mobile to full capacity in the morning, by the time it is evening, the battery charge level drops to yellow and by late night, I get a warning that 15% battery is remaining.
I am connected to internet all day, either through w-lan, or through edge.
Of course, I tried enabling power save mode for w-lan and quite a few other tricks, all of no avail.
So, has anyone observed the same problem before ? If so, how did you solve it ?
Thanks
Shyam
Its normal for the battery to be drained if you are connected all day. Try turning the WiFi and Mobile Networks off and then confirm how long it lasts. My guess it'd double the time..almost
I have same problem as Shyamk
i've also noticed slightly higher battery drain when using modaco custom rom
"If I charge my mobile to full capacity in the morning, by the time it is evening, the battery charge level drops to yellow and by late night, I get a warning that 15% battery is remaining."
i find this hard to believe! i've fully charged my phone last night. woke up at 7AM and at 4PM pluged in the charger.I'm using stock ROM.
Removed modaco's rom and installef fyodor's rom. Surprise, the battery seems to last longer.
Fully charged in the morning, continuous internet usage all day, and battery is still green ;-)
Shyam
Using custom modaco ROM here...
No problems at all with battery drain.
Cheers
No battery drain issues too with modaco.
You have to know that when you're on a place which has a poor signal strengh, your phone will use many battery to keep the connexion alive...
Dear Android Community,
Overcome-day to all!
I've upgraded to "Overcome-Jupiter" 3 days back and though admittedly the new ROM is smooth and fast I believe am noticing some irregularities on the battery.
I have a question and situation, wherein in battery statistics is is show that "Display" is using around 96% of the batter, all other task including the "Android system which is only 2% is for the remaining 4%.
Furthermore for a full charge, am getting around 14-17 hours usage on the batter.
I've done a "battery wipe" and have done two discharge cycle.
Any other Galaxy tab7 user here having the same issue, your comment, suggestion and recation on my query is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

As for display that is normal since Froyo especially with heavy use, the beast display consumes the battery more than anything. As for the battery life if its on moderate to heavy use that seems quiet normal even good actually (remember official stock firmware gives you 7hrs on heavy use). Finally read the tips and tweaks section on our website for more info.
I have heavy drain on the battery after upgrading from Hermes to Jupiter. (All apps and setting being similar)
I can get only close to 5 hours of continuous usage compared to about 7 hours on Hermes. You're not the only one to be affected...... I've posted my cries for help :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176978
I'm still monitoring to see if there's improvement after a few charge cycle.
Darkpal,
Thanks for the quick reply, I have to agree with you on the display thing. What I wanted was actually, just a confirmation from other users that they are having the same battery statics. This will then confirm that everything is normal with my "precious/fragile SGT".
I will do further testing and monitoring.
To PCdumb,
Cheer-up buddy, still I believe our SGT is one of the best tablet out there. ADB and the Overcome team can only do so much nho.
To Darkpal,
On a final note, will the "app lucher" (am using "go launcher EX") will have and effect on battery usage, any launcher you can suggest.
Thanks again for the help
Launchers if coded correctly shouldnt have that much impact if at all on the battery. I personally am using the stock launcher only because am too busy or lazy to configure ADW launcher EX which I have an recommend

Darkpal,
Thanks again friend/sadiq,
Am hearing good review on "ADW launcher", i'll try this and will let you know if there will be any improvement in battery consumption.
Again thanks and best regards;

battery % weird
Hi. I have a strange question in relation to the topic. I use a P1000 running Gingerbread (stock no mods). I hope you guys have some solution to share to me.
I had Battery Monitor installed so I can check the battery usage and percentages, and Juice Defender Ultimate to you know, save juice.
1. There are few instances that when the unit still has 10% or below power, I sometimes encounter unit shut down (powers off) while I am browsing. So I turn it on again, the Samsung animation appears, but still turns off. Therefore I am forced to charge it (using mains plug). Is that normal?
2. Coming from a critical low battery (5% or lower), with the unit off, I leave it charging (using mains plug) until the battery goes full green (full). 4 hours or so if I am not mistaken. When I turn it on, Battery Monitor displays only 76% or 81% power.
I find that strange since it is supposed to display 100% right?
3. At 76% or 81% while unit on, I plug it to charge again, but does not increase percent anymore.
4. Upon my gut assessment, the unit still performs normally, the standby time and usage time are still as expected, the battery is working fine.
TO DO:
I am thinking to just clear data and reinstall battery monitor.
I am also thinking to install another battery application to display percentage for comparison.
In any case, is there a way to calibrate the unit when turned on to display 100% when it is really full when charged off?
I am not modding or rooting it, I am just a basic user. Any ideas? Thanks!

Try to reflash or factory reset then monitor the battery without installing the battery monitor.
I use "battery doctor to save battery" from the market. You can try that but try first without a battery monitor app.
did you try to use another usb cable? or perhaps your charger is not the original? loose internal battery connector? there are so many factors that might cause your problem not mentioned.

Thank you for the reply bongski. Without any battery monitor app, the problem is I cannot see percentages. But anyway I will do the factory reset, it is another option but I find that drastic and will be the last choice. Also, the USB cable and the charger is the one that came with the Samsung box so they're original. The loose internal battery connector is a bit far fetched, the battery is not user accessible and also the unit is not dropped and carefully handled.
Hopefully I get accurate readings, I will update here.
The battery percentage is in settings/about device/status/battery level.

ok. well i did the following
1. clear data and reinstall battery monitor.
2. install another battery application to display percentage for comparison.
i tried the battery doctor but provided the same percentage reading.
so i just factory reset the thing, and i am observing now (ie. charge later and see if the issue persist). i've no knowledge on how to reflash the thing.
well ok to clear all my doubts i just factory reset it. then i reinstalled my initial apps (including battery monitor), used it til it died (1% until it off itself). plugged to mains, turned it on, and let it charge while ON (of course screen is off). took 174 minutes (3 hours) when it reached 99% and stayed 99% (looks like it does not touch 100%) 4176mV. after 5 mins of non use, it still remains 99% but at 4012mV. with the 1% missing, i guess i can let that go and dismiss as normal now... although i read related thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866011
and some resetting technique here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921848
but anyway my simple mind would just like to say, "ok its displaying normalcy now".
now i did not figure what caused the tab to display erratic behavior before this, but once i got it i will update again.

Are you using the version that came with your phone, or are you using something custom (i.e. CyanogenMod or Resurrection Remix)? Did you see what "supposedly" is the highest percent drainer under Settings->Battery?

Based on that, the only thing that I can think of is to turn down your display brightness (even try setting to auto if you haven't already) and if your cell service is often weak/non existent, then put it in airplane mode temporarily to turn off your cell radio (which will also kill calling and texting though). It also depends on just how fast your battery is draining. How much time are you getting with it on? How quickly is it draining (percentage wise per hour for example)?

It sounds like some of that is just the software then as well. Before I unlocked the bootloader and installed CyanogenMod on mine, I used to see it drain quite a bit faster (especially during standby when the screen was off). A big part of that was being able to change the CPU clock speeds (which I lowered on mine) and adjusting it to where many apps couldn't wake up the phone anymore. When doing heavy gaming though, it's pretty much always guaranteed to drain quickly.

I'm not saying the version you are using, but the actual stock software in general. It's definitely not optimized as well for battery life as it can be in a custom ROM and the bloatware doesn't help either. Using the phone for gaming will also take a hefty toll, regardless of what you are running.

Do you mean 10% per hour of screen on time or screen off time? If you lose only 10% for an hour of screen on, you probably get 8-10 hours of screen on time per charge. I only get less than 5.
battery draining MM droid turbo
Hi Friends; after updating to MM, my droid turbo seems to have a 2000mah battery...done wipe cache partition before and after the new MM, an hard rest but in stanby or in aiplane mode the battery sucks 10 points and more in a few hours...could you help me? Please...
p.s. idle 22% standby 22%...no gps, no bluetooth, no notification, just a few applications...
Hi Friends; since updating to MM, my droid turbo seems to have a 2000mah battery...done wipe cache partition before and after the new MM, an hard rest but in stanby or in aiplane mode the battery sucks 10 points and more in a few hours without doing anything...could you help me? Please...
p.s. idle 22% standby 22%...no gps, no bluetooth, no notification, just a few applications...I tried, after charging to 100%, leaving the phone for some days without doing anything (no wifi, no connection, no signal) and I was surprised to read such draining as in the screenshot.
Anyone can reply and help me? What's the difference between idle and standby? The phone has a stock firmware, never rooted
