Hello!
I bought Nexus S few days ago...it had pretty good battery life which lasted for 3-4 days....but after rooting...i feel that its only left for about 2 days....
Does rooting degrade the performance of the phone?
maybe a n00b question but still any help in appreciated!
No one is going to take you seriously when you start off by claiming to get 4 days of battery life.
Do you just boot up your phone and let it sit for 4 days? Do you power it off for long periods of time during those 4 days? Can you explain how you were getting 400% longer battery life than anyone else with this phone ever?
Also, no, rooting does not affect battery life. It does one thing: give you superuser permissions. That's all.

No, but seriously, this has to be the most retarded thread to ever be started on XDA. If you had installed a custom ROM or a custom kernel, battery drain would be possible. Otherwise, you aren't going to see 400% less battery life because you rooted. lrn2android

Actually 4 days is 400% more than 1 day, but 1 day is 75% less than 4 days. Math nerd alert.

Which battery is that?
hey buddy. come join us in the Accessories subforum where you can gloat (like lots of us) about the awesomeness of your Anker or Chichitech battery.
I honestly don't see how this is any better than stock battery.
It can be helpful to have the same screen shots from you using both batteries, while trying to use the phone relatively the same way.

Same type of usage on stock battery and it would be dead in 11 hours at the most but usually less than that.

I have a generic chinese battery I get 12-24 hours on depending on use.
Seriously my stock battery lasts a measly 6 hours at best! And that's with only 2 hours of awake and display time. I ordered the CHICHITEC battery and hope it helps a lot. Maybe I'm just used to CM7 on my G2... My G2 had a CHICHITEC battery too!

I heard they were doing this in exchange for the Verizon version of the phone.. is this true? The battery on the TBolt is absolutely abysmal, and I need something to last the entire day.. Just want to use this phone in areas of 4G when tethering etc.
Thanks.
Why not get the extended battery?
Sorry I don't know the answer to the iphone thing, just wanted to give you another option.

Hmm. You sound like an Apple fanboy.
Before they sell people Android phones they should make them pass an Android Proficiency Test. That way if they suck at learning about their phones and unleashing its true potential, they can go to Apple and let Steve Jobs rape them four different ways.

Getting an iphone wouldn't help the 4G troubles you have as they aren't 4G capable. I'm sure you already knew that. Like the guy above said you should try an extended battery.

that's interesting since I've been rooted since I purchased this phone back in april and although I'm on CM7 with the leankernal running in battsaver mode, my phone doesn't even last all day when i'm on 3g and just texting and using auto-sync for my gmail and facebook.
the battery on this phone is absolute garbage, almost as bad, if not worse than the Eris' battery was.
if you arent getting throug a full day with that setup on 3G then there is more to the problem than the crappy battery.
i can just barely squeeze a day out of my phone on a sense rom and 4G coverage. it is very close, but i can do it if i dont mess with the phone and only use it when i actually need to use it (no fun)
but i just have a 1700ma slim battery, and my stock battery and i am good to go for a full day easily with heavy use.

What's your battery life like? Looks like we both have the same usage but I'm on the stock CM7 kernel and I come home after an 10 hour shift (12 hours off charger) with about 40% battery life left. After I get home I flip on the wifi and surf and play music until the battery dies which is usually an hour or an hour and a half.
extended battery, 40+ hours, 'nuff said

This is why I'm really hoping they work on better battery management for phones coming out in 2012. Does anybody really need a 2ghz quadcore phone when there battery will just die in 3 hrs? I'm perfectly content on 1ghz cpu's(there fast enough) hopefully with any luck future phone displays,cpus,gpus,etc all work together on ICS to bring a couple days of real time use, instead of just a couple hours without having to buy extended batteries/charge etc..

That's what I'm saying man. They're moving too fast with these processor cores. I say, take a year off on engineering processors and spend that time on extending battery life and make better batteries. I'm more than content with dual cores as it is.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Best way to extend battery life is to work on the cpu. If you shrink the cpu the it will use less watts per cycle. Also nvidia made a smart upgrade with its quad core by putting in a fifth slow main core. So work in parallel. Engineers work on making the cpu efficient and programmers should stop being lazy. It's not like these companies can't multi task
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium
They said the same thing about dual core saving battery life, that was a joke! Only way I get decent battery life is with my 3500mah extended.
Still I do agree that those 28nm krait s4 chips should take less battery usage, but I'm talking about more then just achieving much longer overall battery life from multiple factoring issues android has(better displays,gpu,cpu,larger stock OEM batteries,ui,etc) hopefully ICS and jellybean really step up to provide the ultimate android experience without having to charge our phones every 4-6 hr's lol

Really how can you do that?!?! Do you use your phone at all or do you leave it on standby??
Sent from my G2x running EaglesBlood 2.5
I am using eaglesbloods latest and using morfics elp kernel. I only get battery life like this when I'm in good service areas all day fyi. When I install a rom I really like, I erase the entire phone, reformat everything literally, then load the rom and kernel from USB mount in clockwork mod. I feel its best to have a completely clean flash. Then I charge the phone to 100 and calibrate battery stats. Some days I get battery life where I'm at 20% at 20 hours, others much much better. I'm always using the phone moderately. When I first read tthis and checked I was at 60% at 20 hours. Tried to post a screenshot bur it wouldn't work ... def. not pulling your left though. Also the only thing I sync is email every half hour. I uninstalled Facebook because it always runs in the background... makes me uncomfortable.

I take it you use ghost armor or use it naked? Yeah, it does bulge but I use a case so I don't see it. I never actually needed longer battery life anyways, though. I grabbed it cuz it was $25 and now I have a spare. With oem battery mine lasts well over 24 hours with 5 hours of screen on time, auto brightness, emails, weather and everything else syncing. I would never run a cheapo battery though.
greekunit690 does the one you ordered require a different battery cover? Or is it just the same size? Samsung really should make an extended battery. Actually all cell phone companies need to make the batteries bigger like the driod razr maxx

I've been using this battery since Feb 17th. The stock battery would only get me through the work day and even then sometimes barely. Now I easily can go through the evening with about 30% left before I plug it in for the night. Once I forgot and it was at 1% the next morning which the stock never would've lasted that long.
I wasn't aware we could use the Nexus extended battery. Since I use a case I may switch to that. If I can find one at a good price on Prime.
How the heck do you get 5 hours of screen time and have it last 24 hours? Even with the nexus battery juice defender running I can get maybe 3-4 hours.

Juice defender is sucking down your battery. I run Gideons script as well as some other mods. Easily go over 24 hours, usually 2 days. With the extended battery I have gone over 8 hours screen on.

I have both and the andida just isn't as good as the extended battery from Samsung. I've seasoned it like the instructions say and it just doesn't last nearly as long. It's only been a week and I'm still testing it.

Agreed, it's only a tiny little bit better or if any better than the original battery.
I ordered 2 of these and a stand alone charger off Amazon for $30. Hope I didn't waste my money! Will know when I get back home in a week and get to test them out.
Does anyone that has had luck with them have any suggestions for how to "break them in", I think the instructions show to cycle them 5 times before use?
After receiving and using an Andida for about a week I was pretty disappointed. Its about the same as the stock. Nexus Extended is better.
I have the Andida battery and I feel that it does give me 2-3 hours more on a charge. No hard facts, just my impression from using it for about a week.
My experience, it gave me about 2-3 hours like what others said. I usually got 10-13 hours. I'm personally using the Qcell 3850 mah battery now, 24+ hours
