Battery Life

[Guest jamidodger1]

Hey Guys

Long time no talk! Been busy.

Have problems with the SF, as well as constant blips requiring restarts, my battery wont last a good 5-7hours, recently i've been needing data always on but I didn't know it'd cause such a serious drop, but since then it's been downhill.

Today it wouldn't charge past 30% and was supposedly charging at 0mA's , and stayed like this for a hour or two, I've swapped batterys with my father and it's made no difference all I have on is data and brightness on lowest setting. My battery seems lighter (in weight) than my fathers Could it be the battery or the phone's charging circuit? I've updated to the latest CM7 Nightly and tried the CM7 Stable release with no help. Hoping to get a new phone soon anyway but I still need it till then.

Any Idea's or Anyone else in my shoooe's?

Thanks

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

if you need long battery life, try to downgrade to 2.2, my daughter uses Swedish Spring RLS5 and 1,5 -2 days with heavy usage!

i'am currently at CM 7.1.0 stable, 10-15h max

Or use Monfro CAE v3. (2.3.4). I to waz on Swedish spring before and the difference is negligible.

Do you charge from plug or USB?

Oh haven't been on here in ages. hmm update,,,, Well in the half term I had major probs with it not charging at all and since then it seems to of gotten better, after a day of texting/tweeting/emails and alsorts it's normally about 25% but I always charge via the original charger, tried in PC and had exact problems :/ but it's better but still not great

EDIT: forgot to say that it's going downhill due to a lot and I mean a lot of cracks in the back cover, so I've got a case but it always seems to lockup if locking/unlocking too quickly for a good few mins. :/ tried wiping data etc and start again but still does it

Stock 2.3.5 (either B01 or B02) battery life lasts far longer than any other rom I have tried.

Have you tried going into Wifi, Network Notification and turning it off? I tried this in JJ7 and my battery life increased considerably, but have since changed to CM 7.1.0 with Network notificaton off and the battery life is great, for example, I've got 83% left after being unplugged for 12 hrs (admittedly not used the 'phone much today!) but on similar usage on JJ7 I would be at around 50% at this stage

I seem to have some sort of nuclear-powered battery - I switched my phone on at about 10.30 this morning - it read 100%. At 5PM it was still reading 100%.

does your phone have an oled screen? if yes that will be why as they have no back light to munch your battery ..:)

or it could be because the phone was sleeping, the battery sucks at updating when asleep you wake it up send a text and bam 15% gone

Agree I have just downgraded to Swedish Spring and get much longer battery life than Cyanogenmod 7.1 especially with screen on. I for one wont be going back to Android 2.3 as there are few benefits and terrible battery life in every rom i have tried.

Which is the most up to date 2.2 rom ?
