Guest chris9181 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 I was browsing the net wirelessly last night and noticed my battery level went down to 33%. Approx 1 hour later after not using the phone it had gone back up to 44%!! Seems a bit weird!
Guest meinnit Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 This is actually quite normal for this phone
Guest twe Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Yep I noticed that. Seems to give the reading in its current state? I think laptops do the same, the battery meter changes depending on how much cpu is being used.

Guest le_lutin Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 does anyone got a better battery result, after using a custom rom? because with the stock rom, it sucks so hard.... I *believe* my battery life increased after applying the custom ROM. Hard to be sure though.
Guest Bakes Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 The battery reading is not 'how much the battery has left', it's generated from what the current voltage of the battery is. When the battery loses charge the voltage drops somewhat, so as it drops it can be roughly measured how much power is left in the battery. This means that the battery reading can go up, because it's not an absolute value.
Guest steelgrey75 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 does anyone got a better battery result, after using a custom rom? because with the stock rom, it sucks so hard.... I myself was unhappy with the battery life on this phone, until I turned off 3G. My battery life is probably 50% or so better than it was before. Also its made a difference not using it as much as I did when i first bought the phone. To be honest if I have it on standby and use it very little I have had nearly 3 days battery time out of it, which is actually very good for a mobile.
Guest Daz555 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 I find 3G smashes the battery life as well - particularly if in an area where 3G reception is a little suspect. I leave the phone on 2G all the time which is fine for checking mails etc and normal background stuff. I turn 3G on as/when I need.

Guest Bakes Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 We need a toggle widget =P I don't have it installed at the moment, but I think there is one.
Guest Bendolfc Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 I'm using oneclick widget, has a variety of widgets for 3G, GPS, bluetooth, ringtone etc. Unfortunately for 3G, it isn't possible to have a widget that you just press so it takes you to the settings page where you can select the option you want so it ends up being 2 clicks but it works well enough.
Guest Daz555 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Yep tis a shame that 1.5 does not allow a direct toggle for the 2G/3G option - it's two steps as mentioned above.
Guest Spooke Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 I use Quick Settings, which lets you change the, Brightness with a slider Ringer Bluetooth Wi-Fi Mobile Data (3G) GPS It also shows how much memory is on your Phone or SD Card, and the battery life left, and a simple backlight torch..

Guest meinnit Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Is there a toggle widget for background data? I find that to be a major drain on my battery but need it for Market so would be nice to have an easy to access toggle for it.

Guest meinnit Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 I use APNDroid to enable/disble data service from the homescreen. I want to enable/disable"background data" option only
Guest michlaustn Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 I want to enable/disable"background data" option only Ah sorry I misunderstood.
