If it was such a necessity wouldn't google have included it in the os build? Your device will run better and battery life will improve. Wifi on and off drains battery more than just leaving it on. It drains more to turn the radio on and off than just leaving it on. Check your poll frequencies for programs to make sure they aren't constantly using your data connection. Also check your wifi and make sure it isn't constantly seeking new networks. If you use push email that will use barttery more as well. Check to make sure you aren't constantly jumping from edge to 3g. If so disable 3g so it isn't killing from network to network.

Guest brokenpixel Posted November 25, 2010 Report Posted November 25, 2010 I've done 20 hours roughly on medium-light usage. no task killer I use Juice Defender for my tests.
Guest superutp Posted November 25, 2010 Report Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) I get 20-24 hrs on medium usage with wifi on for almost 70% of the time...i use advanced task killer.. pretty sufficient.. Edited November 25, 2010 by superutp
Guest OrionBG Posted November 25, 2010 Report Posted November 25, 2010 Everybody can talk about task killers whatever it wants! I like them! It all the programs you use are loaded at once the CPU will have to deal with all of them at once! I get 2 days of a charge! It is true that I have no more than 5 - 10 min of calls a day and I rarely use the WiFi (unlimited MBs per month) but still its 2 days B) I always have 200MB of RAM free and everything is smooth as silk!
Guest RedSlug Posted November 25, 2010 Report Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) It all the programs you use are loaded at once the CPU will have to deal with all of them at once! No this is not true. If the program is loaded, and in the background not doing anything, then it does not use up CPU time and therefore does not use any battery. If it's the type of program that needs to keep running (downloading for example), or keep waking up to check something, then fair enough. But most do not. (But then you woudn't want to kill it) Edited November 25, 2010 by RedSlug
Guest OmegaStalker Posted November 25, 2010 Report Posted November 25, 2010 Does resetting the battery stats help and how would i do this?
Guest Luxusxda Posted November 25, 2010 Report Posted November 25, 2010 with normal usage and no wifi 2 days. With wifi 10 hours
Guest Acky1337 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Posted November 25, 2010 my lasts 2 days with mp3 and wifi in college. obviouslyeh texts + phone, but I text fast and talk short :P
Guest adzman808 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Posted November 25, 2010 doing very little (some txt, 10mins talk 30m music 2 hrs wifi) - about 30hrs playing raging thunder drains the batt VERY fast!
Guest Pceasar Posted November 25, 2010 Report Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) I've found that many people don't seem to use their phones very heavily, well those with 30 hours plus, I mean how much time are you using for web browsing then? Does everyone turn off the google account syncing etc and keep their brightness high? I get 14 hours of moderate use. If I read a ton of articles screen always on from 100% to 0% in about 5.5 hours. Here's how I think people might want to list their stats: - Brightness? Mine is always all the way down. - Gmail Sync'ing/Push? Mine is usually off - Messaging Apps? (google voice, whatsapp, pingchat, kik, fring are what I have they all sync or push) others may have ebuddy, implus, palringo, gtalk etc. - Email apps and syncing frequency? K9 every 2 hours - Widgets that sync & their frequency? I don't have any but here are some (rss feed readers, engadget app, espn sportcenter, live scores, weather widgets etc) - Wifi & Bluetooth? Mine are only on when I need um (home or in my car) - Games? Believe it or not Angry birds stays on in the background I don't care what anyone says and it eats battery, you have to go back all the way unit it asks if you want to exit the game - Live wallpapers? I don't have any - What I call live apps? Executive assistant or maybe widget locker - Task killers? I dont use um, they are constantly running and polling to kill apps (the OS also accomplishes this to some degree) Oh I forgot I once got 25 hours of very light use but thats not the reason you have this device, you want to use it.
