Battery Life Issue Solved!

[Guest Iggy82]

Not so much an issue, but an annoyance. I was a little disappointed by the Nexus battery life, I needed to charge it daily as it was losing charge so quickly.

However, after reading around several forums, I've found that disabling GPS when not required and switching to a static wallpaper, I have achieved much better battery life, I still have 40% battery after full charge from complete discharge yesterday at 3.00pm. Bare in mind this is with a lot of useage!

Agreed.

I noticed that you have a much longer battery life when using a static wallpaper, no GPS when not used and no sync

Best is not to use the phone anyway. Serious, how much are you guys using the N1 a normal day? I use it quite often for Internet and my job and do also about 30 min music and about 40 min Movie a day and a few SMS and a few minutes talk. The battery is flat at the time I got to bed (wakeup at 6:45 and bedtime around 22:00 h) but who cares, charge it over night and be ready for another day. I have sync, GPS and Live Wallpapers activated and I'm also fortunate to live in a house witch is connected to the electric power grid so no problem with charging over night ;-) .

Looking at battery use in the setting it appears the screen is what uses up most of my power :)

20% after 12hours 24mins

51% Display - time on 2hours 31mins = quick maths 6hours 15mins with screen on will take phone from 100% to 0%

26% Cell Standby

2% Live Wallpapers

apparently hi aim beta sucks up a lot of cell standby % too. it is constantly "awake" and drains my battery like no other. anyone else got this?

[Guest soneedu]

Many thanks, some idea to save battery.

I have an idea that try to shift some application started automaticly to non-auto start. but i do not how to do.

I already use static wallpaper, it is enough.

look forward some expierenced guys can give us more good suggestions.

I also noticed the other day that the Google Talk app service is constantly running. Launching "Talk", opening the settings and unchecking "Automatic Sign-in" (which is set by factory default) has saved me some battery for sure.

Thanks for that! I didn't noticed that there are options to make.

Great, I didn't want to talk with google talk at my work.

So I can sign me up if I want and not if google or nexus want!

Thanks again, bro.

It also helps a lot if you don't use the HSDPA/3G network often or don't use it at all, to check the option for "Use only 2G network"
