How you do that? Perhaps It's no record but it's good...
Some questions I have:
Did you use data?
It's true that using an app killer so often, it's no good for battery b/c, of the open and closing of apps...?

No. That is not true. BUT you are right. Task killers like ATK and others do nothing for battery. All that they do is screw up the way that gb handles your ram. Do not use. Period. They DO NOT help you.

+1 I never use aftermarket task killers, the built in one is way better. I have a shortcut on the home screen that I use often. Usually I kill all tasks and clean RAM when shutting off the phone (If I have been using apps). Yes I use Data and Wifi. Over half of the time on the screenshot was with both on. The new modem has made a pretty good difference as far as I can tell. Some of them are really bad on battery, I've noticed L2 is one of the worst. Probably the biggest factor is uninstalling a few apps that were keeping my phone from going into deep sleep. An Alarm app was the worst culprit, and a couple of others with automatic notifications that I disabled. I hate automatic notifications.

I need help my battery life is terrible and I don't know how to fix. I have a battery information app and the battery chart drops.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
We're going to need more information than that to help you out.
ROM?
Kernel?
Name of "Battery Monitoring" App?
Current Data use?
Signal strength in your area?
All of these will be very helpful in figuring out what your issue is.
Try to be patient, I'm a little new. But here's what I know.
Froyo 2.2
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Battery Monitor Widget App
Data usage isn't high.
I don't know how to find ROM
My display takes 93% but my brightness is all the way down and my signal is always pretty strong.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Im guessing your one the stock at&t froyo. Think about going into the captivate android development section and flash a custom rom. They seem to provide better battery life and are much better than what came with this phone.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
You can also disable wifi, bluetooth, and GPS when not in use - that should help.
In my experience the fastest way to better battery life is flash a new kernel. speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e is very stable. Also turn off auto-rotate and auto brightness.
A big battery killer for me is background data and auto sync, I leave it all off, along with the stuff every one else said.
Also, try calibrating your battery.
The only thing I've done to my phone is root. And I've turned off all the auto stuff, I have no idea how to "flash the rom" or anything else.

If your display takes up 93% of battery that's usually a good sign, it means that there's probably nothing in the background sucking up all the juice. Have you tried "bump charging" or replacing the battery? They do tend to go bad or lose calibration if you've overheated them one too many times.
Whenever I charge my phone it seems to get extremely hot. The battery app said like 115° to 120°

Try Juice Defender in the Android Market, made a big different for me.
In my experience Froyo roms have all been garbage battery life *first leak, stock, Perception, Cognition, SuperNova, Phoenix Unleashed* I could never get more then 10 hours on the battery and less with wifi on. Now with GB *perception 2 beta 3*, I get 18 hours with Bluetooth on, Background Sync On, under H *3G*, and the original battery that came with the phone. I am putting up with some of the issues that 2.3.3 has but to me I cannot go back to froyo as my battery life has never been this good Including with jf6 2.1 that originally shipped with my phone.
HTH,

While that may be the case, it doesn't always provide for the best signal. You have to test each one and see what works best for your area/situation.
Your battery temp seems very high. You may want to swap the battery before trying other things. Is the phone new? If so, At&t store should agree to swap it out for you.

If you use the device a lot, and enjoy using it a lot, don't sweat it. The prior post has some good suggestions and I recommend reading through the battery life thread in the general section, good info there too.
one can find themselves obsessive with battery life performance to the point of not using the full potential of their device to their enjoyment - like me.
I'm waning myself off of caring too much, making progress...

There is a rogue app in your drawer. download watchlist app, it will keep track on other apps which are hogging your system.
Battery calibration won't and doesn't do anything useful... its more then likely an app or something running constantly. What's your screen on times? Post a screenshot of your battery usage.

I pretty much don't play games and don't stream music or anything like large data usage. I call text browse and read articles and such, XDA and Facebook is about it for other usage though, light in most eyes, and I under-clock the phone to 700's usually.

Its not bad, but it could be better. It looks like u lose signal a few times throughout the day. The phone searchin for signal will def drain ur battery. That was really the only thing i noticed. Looks like ur awake time and screen on time r pretty dead on (better than mine) so ur peob not havin wakelock problems. Do u use the facebook app? It is a huge battery hog.

Properly configured, Friendcaster uses C2DM for notifications which is already running anyway, so there's nothing extra polling in the background.

I've got notifications disabled with Friendcaster and it uses 1mb of RAM when it runs in the background. The upside is that I have the option of "sharing" with my other apps.
I'm one of those annoying people who always posts pics of their kids and articles that no one else likes to read, so having this option is important to me.
Hey guys I would just like ppl opinion on the various battery saving apps that are available on the market.
Do you think they actually work? best apps(in your opinion) and best configuration to save most battery.
I have juice defender and and it always says that it is saving me somewhere around 1.6 but I'm not totally sure that that is the case.
I have not had it installed for the last couple of days and my battery doesn't seem to be noticeable y worse than when it was installed

The battery on my phone is going iPhone-ish, I need one of the battery saving apps, Are there any decent ones yet?
I would try Bataria from the market. Its free, and doesn't use much resources to do its job. I think the best is to manually adjust different settings on your phone. Same results, nothing running in the background to do it.
I am using Greenpowe.
Battery apps are usually crap. The only ones that really work are the ones that modify how your phone's software works. And those almost always require root access.
If by chance you are rooted, I recommend SetCPU, Autostarts and Autokiller. SetCPU will allow you to set profiles such as throttling while the screen is off, which will save you a ton of battery. Autostarts will stop custom apps from starting with your phone's OS, which leads to less background processes. And Autokiller will ensure that you have plenty of free memory for less tasks being killed and restarted. That alone has the potential to make a huge difference in your battery life.
