Guest rockstarszzzz Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Its only got a 1250ma battery give the phone a break turn off wifi - 3g - bluetooth ets when your not using it My Toshiba TG01, with 4 inch display and 3G, wifi ON all the time and same sync schedules, on 1000ma battery gave me 24 hours. TG01 had 1Ghz snapdragon and LCD. Don't see a point in giving this phone 'a break' - it's a smart phone (low end perhaps) but has to behave like one in ordinary situation.

Guest downloader50 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 can somebody do the following: wipe. no gapps, no apps, just the rom and fully calibrate it, charge then use it so the battery is below 80ish (as battery value is out above 80 odd) then either: wack into airplane mode for as long as possible (this may be better if you have two phones). Measure battery drop over the whole time. Dont keep checking amount, just look at the end. Mine will manage 10 days easy like this. When i went on holiday last i left my phone at home (not in airplane. eg normal mode) and it was on 30% after a week.... If you put into airplane mode and never turn the screen on you have a glorified clock not a phone what is the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JolyonS Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 If the battery was shite for everyone. this thread would be nuked with people complaining surely? Alternatively if battery life was brilliant there would not be posts asking devs to do something about it. When GSF came out it attracted huge praise for the excellent battery life it provided with several people contradicting the assertion of creator of the ROM that it was no better than CM. I suspect the majority of Blade users tolerate the battery life and charge every day but it would be good to see a poll at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's better to leave the radio on if we want to get some answers as the "Cell standby" seems to be the drainer here.. I'm just wondering if there's a setting that would make a diference if the draining actually happens with a clean install without gapps. Ofc, if the draining happens in airplane mode too, that's another story then.. Edited October 31, 2011 by sm4tik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ColdEmbrace Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) I noticed my battery draining I had a rouge app stopping my phone from sleeping. Check spare parts for partial wake. Hotmail stopped my phone from sleeping. (it didn't have accounts connected or an internet connection) but it was still killing my battery Edited October 31, 2011 by ColdEmbrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Smiff2 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) couple of things sej's CM220+ 1) batttery life (which was already ok for me) seems much better since changing CPU governor from Interactive (default in this ROM) to OnDemand (default for most ROMs) 2) Q: any significant improvements since 220+ before i flash another phone with it? :) Edited October 31, 2011 by Smiff2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kamikaze. Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) This is really odd. The new nightly really made it worse. I just put my frequency to 619 and 122, ondemand, I switched off data sync for test, and I can still see the battery running down, percent by percent. I've been browsing this thread with Tapatalk for 15min I guess, and my battery already decreased 20 percent. This is crazy! Hope they'll fix it! I can't even play solitaire at work anymore I guess! Edit. Il'l see how it does without a theme enabled. Also, I found out, that Button Savior clone, Virtual Button Bar had used 8% of the battery. Lets see what happens if I disable it...

When i went on holiday last i left my phone at home (not in airplane. eg normal mode) and it was on 30% after a week.... Hi, Since last saturday I've lost 28% of battery, at home that is. Means : stable GSM signal, WiFi on 15 minutes a day to sync, 3-4 calls, no GPS, no BT .... During the week, it drains as fast as I drive :) GPS on and unstable GSM signal (while on the move) and , most important : another phone sitting nxt to it which makes GSM reception even worse. Even though I always have the phone with screen turned off, unless using the GPS. Battery-drain is mostly due to the phone pinging the connection, when there's an unstable signal or a phone nearby, it needs more power to stay connected. When using WiFi or GPS better keep the phone on the car-charger. All in all, I don't see any problem with the battery when using the phone for what it's meant for. If ppl are doing lots of things and games etc . (not to mention the OC-disease).... guess it's absolutely normal that they should recharge overnight. I bought the SF knowing it was a cheap low-end phone, so every minute it runs is OK to me. If one pays peanuts, one should accept peanut-time... Just my 2c :D Edited October 31, 2011 by dirlan2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering if there's a setting that would make a diference if the draining actually happens with a clean install without gapps. Ofc, if the draining happens in airplane mode too, that's another story then.. My standby time is several days if I airplane overnight only. This is not on a clean install. I've got 86 user apps and haven't wiped since gen 2 came out. I do however have 43 frozen CM apps and gapps I don't use. And have others set to not auto load using Autostarts. I usually charge every 3 or 3 days. Over the weekend I had access to no computer and managed 48 hours 2g, data on (no 3g signal) and my screen on time was well over 3 and a half hours* - mostly using a web browser over wifi before I returned home and charged it with 17% battery left. Those that think data on is the issue, the apps you're using has to make a difference. All I have is an email app. If you're a teenager (and hence under the delusion that things put on facebook are somehow time critical when 99% of it is a waste of time reading it ever ;) ) then you've probably got all sorts of apps chucking data back and forward? *I regrettably forgot to check the exact screen on time after my last few browsing sessions - but it was 3 and a half hours the last time I checked.

Guest JolyonS Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011  I do however have 43 frozen CM apps and gapps I don't use.  And have others set to not auto load using Autostarts. If you could produce a list of these that would be really appreciated. I usually charge every 3 or 3 days. Well which is it?! ;) Those that think data on is the issue, the apps you're using has to make a difference. As will the strength of signal, I guess. I may have to get busy with Tasker and be more selective about where and when 3G is enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blah blah blah........ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz.............. So many people posting babble and crap about nothing......sorry to pick on you Kamikaze but you're another post filling the thread with more tiresome whining bilge. N241 came out yesterday lunchtime. You have hardly given it any form of bedding in and allowed the OS to familiarise it's self with the battery capacity drain speed. There were so many updates in N241 that it should be treated as a new ROM and then cycle the battery properly. This thread is not a competition to see who can find a problem the fastest. Especially when the "problem" is unfounded and based on zero effort or testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest targetbsp Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) lol!

Which I have removed all startup events for using Autostarts so it only runs when I tell it to. I also stop the following from loading on startup. These are apps I use but don't have the need to have loaded all the time: Rom Manager Gallery (note this app doesn't work well if its events are disabled! I just use it only very rarely) Bluetooth Share My startup process on a clean boot are: Swype com.google.process.gapps dialler android system tasker android.process.acore adw ex widgestoid settings market titanium backup gallery (huh. I guess breaking it by disabling its events is kinda pointless if it finds a way to load anyway. :D ) cerberus android.process.media samba filesharing adaway superuser messaging status bar I typically run 2g with data off and manually switch to 3g and data on when I'm away from wifi and need data. My tasker profiles that affect power are to airplane it at a set time over night and turn the wifi on and off with the screen.

Guest Isidorosis Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 If you disabled lock screen why would you expect it to be there for you? It's only a feature useful to get around the server encryption! Are you confusing it with 'disable PIN lock' ? I don't say about the pin to unlock the device, but the pin of your simcard (on-off flight mode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying it will perform pretty much exactly as any other rom when you don't have apps getting upto mischievous behavior (such as using data) and lots of cm7 annimations and features running the whole time.

Agree totally But the point is if I have exactly the same setup, same usage, same apps, same settings, same launcher, same brightness, same wifi policy - and I still get half the performance, why? The most common reason being "you have a nasty app that keeps on" - but then won't this app stay on in other ROMs I try? Why do I not get battery drain with that ROM, but as soon as it's CM7, that misbehaving app is back? Is CM7 unable to manage apps and make them dormant whereas others can do it? etc. are the questions I cant find answers to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rockstarszzzz Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) I don't say about the pin to unlock the device, but the pin of your simcard (on-off flight mode) Isn't SIM lock embedded into your SIM card instead of phone settings? Probably tablet tweaks is not right option to disable SIM-PIN. Edited October 31, 2011 by rockstarszzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
