Guest fards Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I think you all need to start checking what you're doing.. what's running in the background and what's pinging the internet
Guest Spike8585 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I get decent battery life, but its not great. My guess is it is because I can't let go of my full brightness. So pretty.
Guest alexmoi Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 All depends on your usage. I get max 14h of use on my streak and my wife with same streak as mine with all same settings gets easy 23...24h of use. But i use wi-fi and gps 24/7 and my wife uses it to sms and play a couple of games in her free time
Guest Spectre51 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Loving 1.6.0 one issue I have though and it might just be a launcherpro plus issue. It seems it lags for a couple seconds quite often when going from portrait to landscape especially when unlocking the phone. Might try using the GB launcher for a while or adw launcher to see if I have the same issue.

Guest alert_bri Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I think you all need to start checking what you're doing.. what's running in the background and what's pinging the internet I have widgets on my home screen to switch wifi/bluetooth/gps/gsm data on/off only as I need them, background data sync is switched off and I'm running smartass governor with 245-998Mhz range, screen off 245-384Mhz. Took out task killer in favour of Autokiller Memory Optimiser on 'Extreme' preset which gives good responsiveness. Yesterday I got 16:45:33 battery life. Nothing major showing up on Spare Parts history. Are you saying we should expect more? Cheers Brian
Guest alert_bri Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Looking in Spare Parts battery history, not sure what the 'sensor usage' bar its telling me... Should it be almost 100% android system? Could there be something in the known orientation sensor code issue which is out of control and eating the battery? My orientation is working well these days so I haven't been worrying about it - but I'm wondering whether Stephens attempts to fix it have tripped something else up? Sorry I can't be more helpful, it's just hunched and guesswork at this point without decent diagnostic tools. Cheers Brian

I never disable my wifi, GPS, data unless on low battery, but that's my preference. You can see the impacts of Widgets and the update intervals. Hope it helps. Thanks, Anthony
Guest LippiVan Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 How's battery life? I went from Stock 2.2 318 build to StreakDroid 1.6 and the battery life was baaaaaad. On 2.2 318 i was easily able to get 50+ hours per charge with pretty good usage. Dropping StreakDroid 1.6 i'm lucky to get 18 hours and last night before i went to bed i had 45% left on my phone... Set my alarm and went to bed. Woke up a little late this morning grabbed my phone to see why the alarm didn't go off and it was completely dead. Not sure what's sucking up all the battery but its pretty bad. I haven't added a whole lot to his build, just Handcent and 4square, and 4square doesn't do much unless you're in the app so i know the GPS isn't going crazy all night. Anyway, how's the battery life. LOL Very weird. I'm expiriencing the exact opposite. When i was on Stock 318 with performace fix i used to loose 25-30% battery over night, with Steve's 1.6 i only loose about 2-3%. Battery live improved massivley, i can play with my Streak almost all day without having to recharge. Big thx to Steve for this Rom!
Guest Spectre51 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) I'm using Battery E.T.A.to monitor my battery life but I can say that I am getting much worse runtime on 1.6.0 than stock 2.2. I have setCPU set at 1190 Max and 245 min. Using the smartass scaling. Not using anything out of the ordinary more than before and I am barely getting 12 hours of battery life before my streak shuts off. Before I would have greater than 40% still left over after those 12 hours. Wireless is turned off, GPS, data sync on. Screen to lowest brightness setting. Gonna run it a few more days at these levels and see what happens. Nothing jumps out at me when looking at the battery info through spare parts. Only widgets that check anything are Facebook and twitter but that's every three hours. As a side note to one of my earlier posts I switched to adw launcher free t try it out and I am not getting the kind of lag I saw with launcherpro plus. Edited January 21, 2011 by Spectre51

Ive heard facebook could be causin it as I dont run facejunk and my streak could easy last over 24 hours
Guest Dogmann55 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Hi all I am still getting the same great battery life out of 1.6 as i have with previous builds i use Battery Widget which show me 31hrs 37 mins on full charge and i can easily go 24hrs before needing to charge my Streak. I have brightness set to full as i have always done with two E-mail accounts being pushed 24/7 using Seven, Data Sync on, Weather updating every 4hrs and use Bluetooth streaming for about 1-2hrs Music per day but only turn on GPS, Bluetooth and WiFi when needed and am currently overclocked to 1152 Max 245 Min using the smartass setting giving me a Quadrant score of 1917. The only thing i may have different to many of you is that i only have about 30 apps installed and no FB or Twitter. Marc
Guest LorD CLockaN Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 When my battery starts to drain fast I do a factory reset.. it's the only cure.. nothing wierd in spare part's battery usage.. Don't use facejunk.. or any social network widget.. Just before going to 1.6.1 beta I did a factory reset and the battery life was excelent.. +48h, but now after a few update-beta.zips it started to drain fast.... +24h.. and now before the next update, I'll do a factory reset again

Lets see how we get on. Thanks for the experience. Cheers Brian
Guest superutp Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Yes, came to the conclusion that I was overdue a factory reset... Lets see how we get on. Thanks for the experience. Cheers Brian yup...am also gonna do a factory reset once 1.6.1 is out...
Guest LorD CLockaN Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 don't forget that when you do a factory reset first boot the system, than flash update.zip of newer ROM
Guest Roperband Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 smoothest and fastest :lol: quandrant 2500, new unlock screen... Is it in portrait??
Guest LorD CLockaN Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 no, just redisigned.. and I noticed when you answer the call, animation is not changed, but much smooter
Guest alert_bri Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 don't forget that when you do a factory reset first boot the system, than flash update.zip of newer ROM Whoops, didn't do that... Just a factory reset and then reinstalled all apps from my titanium pro backup plus reconfigured APN for o2 monthly. I'll follow your advice for 1.6.1 when it's ready... Why do you recommend this approach? Cheers Brian
Guest LorD CLockaN Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) because I was on 1.5.4 and did a factory reset and than imediatly updated rom and than it didn't want to boot (stuck at dell). Steve than recommended to flash 1.5.1, before first boot do a factory reset, than first boot, than update to 1.6.1 beta.. so after fyctory reset do a full boot.. Factory reset in clockworkmod doesn't work. use FR from first screen when entering recovery or flash new recovery found at xda edit: wrong, I was on 1.6.0, not 1.5.4 Edited January 21, 2011 by LorD CLockaN

Cell reception is horrible at work, so I turn off the 3G and use EDGE most of the day :lol: - 2 email accounts with lots of emails coming throug, Facebook and Twitter set to receive every 30 minutes, Smartass Gov at 384 min and 1113 max, I almost never use Wi-Fi (unless there's a new Streakdroid ROM :) )and I have yet to use Bluetooth on my device.
Guest timbomfg Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Quick question, is it possible to get rid of the transparency of the pull-down menu at the top?
