Guest hah2110 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Ok... What are all of you doing for your battery life? I just watched that video from the guy who showed the SetCPU and stuff and don't believe his battery is that good. My phone has been off the charger for 20 minutes and Klaxon was running and it is down 5% already AND I have the 1600 mAh Seidio battery. It just isn't possible. Android is a battery hog. I've messed with SetCPU and noticed nothing different. I have the sleep profile set to like 245/3xx and I messed with the advanced settings. What do you guys have your advanced settings at? I have the screen brightness on auto and I don't use twitter/facebook/news. The only data all day is my Touchdown e-mail and weather updates as far as automatic goes. Can someone please shed some darn light here? For the whole day at work I have full 3G and Bluetooth is on, but no WiFi. Any help, PLEASE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't know how the quality of the Seidio batteries are (I think this has been discussed in some other thread but not sure) but I'm running the following setup on a stock battery: CM 5.0.4.1 UV-Kernel .33 (found at xda-developers) ------------------- Brightness: Auto Wifi: On when I use the phone, off otherwise (when available of course, which is at home or school). GPS: Always on (not used though other then when I'm in maps or taking pics or something that requires the GPS) Sync: Have twitter on auto refresh every 5 minutes, news genie 2 hours, and beautiful widgets at a 2 hour refresh interval as well. (Getting Gmail-pushed ofc <_<) SetCPU: Not installed, never used it as it's not required for the UV kernel :mellow: When I put my phone in the charger last night it had been running for ~35 hours under light usage (some browsing, text messages, phone calls, gaming, spotify, etc. but nothing extreme) and still had over 10% left on the charge. I don't know if some of the explanation to the long battery life can be the light usage in combination with the excellent 3G coverage here in Sweden. Due to the coverage I the phone almost never switches between 2G/3G or go without signal which should save some battery. I don't know if a lot of band switching in combination with ineffective coding in Klaxxon can be the thief in your case, or perhaps Seidio sent you a faulty battery?

Guest commodoor Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) Thanks for your awesome response. How exactly do I install the UV Kernel? You can install it like you flash a ROM through recovery menu. And i also saw that video you talking about. anyways here are my findings: I used MCR and CM (right now using CM) The battery performd the best with mcr rom. don't know why but i think that all the aosp roms use a lot of battery (or maybe its only for me). when i look at battery usage i see that the screen uses the most battery, brightness is most of the time on low (30%). Try MCR with SetCPU on with all profiles on. and look how it performes with MCR. and btw if you are using taskmanager to kill processes put SetCPU in the ignore list. I also use klaxxon and that is not your battery problem. Android is a battery hog. This is not right, Mine hero performed better with battery life. i could use my hero for 2 days ehwn i do the same on my nexus it lasts only half a day.

I did the Cyanogen through the kitchen so didn't it automatically include this kernel, or is there another one? MCR didn't do too good for me. I'm going to drain the battery down and then wipe battery stats as suggested on XDA but this sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "kernel version" in my phone now is 2.6.33-cyanogenmodshade@toxygen #10. This should be the right one for battery life, right? Should I even be using SetCPU?

This should be the right one for battery life, right? Should I even be using SetCPU? Thats the standard Kernel of CyanogenMod. if you want to try the UV kernel you have to flash your kernel. You can use the kernel from TCK that he made for the CM. http://android.modaco.com/content/google-n...0-4-1-packages/ download it flash it remember backup you don't have to wipe anyting and if it goes right you won't loose anything. If you gonna use UV you don't have to use SetCPU anymore because thats exactly the same what UV does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Paul said he was adding it to the Kitchen but I don't see it anywhere? So I just download that zip and flash update from zip? EDIT: Also- is this the Kernel you are using?

Sorry for the late reply :) Been a busy day :P Anyways, the kernel I'm using can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634587 Remember to follow all the instructions to the letter and it shouldn't be any problems ;) @hah2110 (post above): Seems Klaxon is draining way to much battery!

I don't know how to do it without the update.zip though? Modaco says his has the latest .33 kernel and that is verified with what I said is in the about status. Would the kernel actually be different? There are a bunch of different threads with a bunch of different files and one has an update.zip but I'm not sure if they are different.

Ok i'm using klaxon to and its on my ignore list in task manager. when i look at battery usage i don't see klaxon there so i can't say much about battery usage of klaxon. But your klaxon using way to much battery you should mail the developer. here is my battery usage but remember this is heavy usage. 40 min talking (two conversations: one 30 min second 10 min) < you can see this it drained a lot of battery 2 hours music ~1 hour browsing (while listening music) getting twitter updates (1 hour interval) getting mail screen brightness is low send few sms maybe something else i forgot Edited March 16, 2010 by commodoor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hah2110 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Should i use: EPE54B / 32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2 radio - update zip format The update includes the Radio ROM shipped with EPE54B (and ERE36B), again as an update zip.

Guest commodoor Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) What are doing the most on your phone? i see you are using bluetooth do you listen to music with a BT headset? Today i didn't used my phone that much. a little browsing, sms, gtalk and getting mail and updates. i'm on 77% battery and "6h 37m 10s since unplugged" i'm on stock battery and the official kernel from CM (no UV). I used my phone for 30 min :) If you are a heavy user the phone will drain battery so fast damn. But the battery life one nexus one is just bad it was much better on my Hero its just a fact so it doesn't matter if you are using UV kernel the most that you can save a hour of two. i have always my charger with me and charge the phone when i get the chance for. I think i got the best battery life with MCR rom. give MCR a try and look at the stats of battery usage Edited March 17, 2010 by commodoor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to flash the radio. use battery graph to see when the phone is using the most battery and keep track of what you are doing. i did that to so i know when my phone is using the most battery and i use taskkiller to auto kill everyhting (except apps in ignore list) when i go to standby.

So what happens if I flash to a new ROM, will I lose my Kernel and radio? Shouldn't I want the 4.03.00.21_2 radio? I hear it is the most stable?
