Hi all,
Whats the battery life you people are getting? and also the charge time taken for a full charge. Lets dedicate this thread for posting details about battery life.
Mine is below,
Battery Life : 1 to 1.2 days.
With live widgets and gtalk : less than 22 hrs.
Avg charge time : 4 hours(Too lond )
I got 14 hours with 4hours of wifi...anyway to increase battery life...even when its idle it dropped from 100 to 80...that is without use,is it normal?

Yes its normal & that happens bcoz your data connection remains on which eats battery, if you want to increase battery life you can use free APNdroid widget with this you can switch ON/Off the data connection. Else use juice defender or tasker they both can save battery life to quite an extent. Both have trial version.
In the night I switch to airplane mode & keep my data connection off hence I get 1.5 day of battery usage sometimes even more, if I don't surf the web then I get full 2 days of battery usage.
Charge time 4hours but I have heard that HTC charger can charge faster & gives longer battery life due to current difference. I will try this weekend borrowing it from a friend.
I think I am the first one to Vote. My usage is mainly calls. 1-2 hours of calling. 1 hour at XDA using XDA application with 3g on. 1-2 hours of playing around with the Phone and gallery etc. But with heavy usage, battery life is just enough to come back home and charge after 8 PM. My battery goes down by 3-4% after over night standby not 20% as mentioned in the above post.

This is more dependent on the tower distance near your home & its data signal strength, there are people for whom night time usage is only 1-2% ideal.
Do you feel if i flash a different firmware i would get a better battery life...

switch in the night to airplane mode & see how much drain happens.
Well, I have a moderate usage of almost all features (call,mail,camera,music,net radio,browsing,etc.) and it lasts for about 1.5 days.
Yea, full charge time is pretty long if you do not switch off your phone while charging.
Battery life in the long run depends if you have maintained a few golden tips for new batteries:
After unboxing, fully charge the battery in switched off condition. For the first 10-15 charge-discharge cycles, let the battery fully drain and the phone to automatically shut off. Then charge fully and switch on the phone. Avoid charging while phone is on or has quite a bit of charge.
I had a Nokia N91 and following above steps, the battery gave promising backup even after 4 years! Sadly, I lost the phone in Jan this year and bought the i9003.
DEAD CHARGER
Recently my i9003 bundled charger got fked up somehow... it just stopped charging the phone; had a few languishing days charging off the data cable off my laptop. Took to nearest service centre with a photocopy of the bill and it was instantly changed with a similar 700MA charger but of different shape.
Oh, I seemed to find a friend who is the tech there and jumped the long queue! LOL
I get about 24-28 hours battery life. I calibrated my battery after flashing to XXKB3 and I think that brought the best out of the battery. Running SuperPower and I mainly use Wi-fi while surfing.

how long is ur charge time with 700mA Charger?
I agree with the OP about seriously long time to charge! I had an X10 earlier and that used to fully charge in 2.5 hrs, but this takes really long. To just reach 100 from 90 it takes like about an hour!
well mine since i flashed 2.3.4 only stays for 18 hrs max with less than average usage only talk in for 1 hrs 2g maybe and browse use ebook for 1 hr maybe that is all when i used froyo 2.2.1 it used to stay for 1.5 day
any ideas of wht i can do i did battery calibration and am using xda super power
on xxkph i was getting about 15hrs with amits oc 1.1
after flashing xxkpm i seem to be blown away
im using xxkpm and cf root by skin and im getting 1 day 5 hrs with heavy usage and 2 days 4 hrs on moderate usage
well mine is jxkp3 cause it have arabic in it's languages but do u think this could be the reason why my battery is so low and fast drained it is also rooted

No, It's cause your on froyo. That's why.
No I'm usin gingerbread actually
i dont understand y people *bump* old threads
seriously,how do they search these threads!
When in standbye overnights my phone goes from 60-70% to totally flat, I use battery monitor and I notice the phone use -100 till -200 Ma while I don't have any sync going on?
Somebod else with monitor app please give me our numbers
I have noticed tha cpu works (without any app loaded) about 35% -45% with no reason...that eats battery !!! any other have noticed that ?
I can make a video to proove that !!! Maybe with 2.3 the resoults will be better
I will give you my experiments:
First night(GMT+3 timing):
from (2-3)am: Wireless on, battery percentage still 19%
from (3am-4pm) wireless of, battery percentage is still 19% !!
Second night:
from (9am-5pm) battery percentage was 99%, when I wake up there were two missed calls and the battery percentage was 90% !!
Third night(Last night):
from (9am-6pm) battery percentage was 70%, when I wake up there were one message and the battery percentage was still 70% !!
* It is not nights, these days I actually sleep in the morning, and the timing doesn't mean I sleep all that, but before going to sleep I use my laptob.
I had the same issue in the first few days. I dont know if you installed some apps, but after I deactivated "green power" (for saving battery life) the battery lasts very long in standby mode.
so deinstall apps which say they would save battery and close all apps (browser etc.) before you sleep.
I dont know if the app was responsible for that or just the battery which needs a few days to generate 100% power.
Had mine for 2 weeks now, battery lasts 10 hours from 100% to dead, same as my Desire did.

Battery monitoring and optimizing apps did suck most of the juice out of my battery. Deleted all,my battery easily makes 12 hours now

I don't have any numbers but my phone goes from 100% to around 93% to 95% overnight depending on how many emails I receive while it's in standby.
About the same as my old Galaxy S.

That sounds great!
My Galaxy S2 would lose 30-40% overnight with a few emails...
I can't wait till I get my O3D.
For some reason my screen started really draining the heck out of my battery and it's only set on about 35% brightness.
Here are my current stats:
Screen - 65%
Wifi - 14%
Call Standby - 10%
Phone Idle - 9%
Android - 2%
What are your stats? Is the screen eating the battery? Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

That looks usual
When my screen is on my battery drains about 1% per minute.
What is your max cpu speed?
Bad battery?
Those stats look normal for the most part, but it also depends on how long the screen was on vs how long the phone was on overall.
Cell standby appears a bit high at first glance, which definitely causes some additional drain if you don't have reception during standby and the phone is searching for reception.
RE:
Hey,
I am running MIUI ROM 2.6.15
Screen 25%
WiFi 20%
Cell Standby 17%
Android System 16%
MediaServer 7%
Phone Idle 7%
Music 4%
Gmail 3%
Media 2%
Google Services 2%
I used the built-in Battery Calibration to calibrate the battery like last week and I noticed that by the end of the day, I still had at least 30% of battery...
I use it to text, listen to music and talk everyday at night at least 3-4 hours with my girl...
I'd suggest to root phone, try a new rom, or use any calibration apps from play store and follow the instructions... worked with my 2 previous phones.. Huawei Ascend, Motorola Droid 2 Global.. and this is 6th android I have and I love it a lot.
The screen is set to 25%. It's only on for about 45 minutes.
I have rooted the phone and am running a very new rom.
i'm pretty much in the same position, my battery drains 1% per minute
I'm on T-Mobile and their "My Device" app will let you know if you need to replace the battery or not. Give it a try.

Are you running an ICS ROM? They seem to be so efficient at everything else that the screen is the major battery sucker. I've played PSX4Droid for a couple hours at a time, and it barely gets above 10% usage.
I run 2.3.4 virtuous unity. I can make it 24 hours before I charge it.
But the screen is the highest user of battery.

2.3.4 GB here but i honestly say the games and watching videos takes a toll on battery the most.
I used to have awful battery life on ICS and was able to narrow it down to the amazon app store....using like 35% battery.<--disappointing amazon! After uninstalling that I can get about 2-3 hours of screen time. If you're having terrible battery life after flashing a new rom you could try caliberating your battery. I use battery caliberation. When my battery is fully charged I run it, let it drain all the way down then charge it back up. There are probably other caliberation apps out there...or you could delete the battery stats from your recovery. Hope this helps.
edit: just noticed you're talking about Gingerbread, my bad, kinda skimmed over that Caliberating your battery could still help though.
background data
Am having 2 issues with my battery. I have an Anker 7200 mah extended battery currently. {I have also noticed these issues with previous batteries I have used}. I charge my battery to 100% and then when I check the battery screen in settings several hours later, it will show for example that I have been on battery for 4 hrs when in fact it has been 5 or 6 hours. The second problem I am seeing is on the bottom portion of the battery screen it will only show % for screen, device idle, cell standby and sometimes, voice calls. It will not show usage % for other things like email, tapatalk, games, etc. Pls see attached for example. In the screenshot it shows I have been on battery for 2 days and 0 hrs when it have been at least 2 days and 5 hrs. And bottom part of screen only shows screen, device idle, cell standby and voice calls percentages. I've let my battery drain until it was almost completely dead and I've calibrated my battery but still having same problems.
Was wondering if anyone else has come across these issues and what was done to fix?
Thanks!
Hello,
I've purchased a huawei p30 few days ago, and I noticed that the battery drains pretty fast comparing to a thread I've read here about Huawei P30 Pro battery drain (link).
It takes 1% of battery for about 4-6 minutes of use.
In addition, it consumes 10% overnight (10 hours), with only cellular and data connection, no wifi, no gps, no nfc.
Tested it with flight mode, and it takes 7% overnight (10 hours), which I think is way too much (should be like 1% right?).
I have version 9.1.0.193 (europe version), with the ability to upgrade to 240.
What can possibly cause that? I only have it for few days, with 3 apps installed: Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram.
I wondered, how is your battery consume? that would be nice if you can share your stats.
thanks
Edit:
Tested the phone in safe mode, 10% over 10 hours standby, I got a defect for sure =\
Go to Settings > Battery > Battery usage and you can see for yourself.

Thanks for your response.
I did viewed the battery usage, however there is nothing that consuming too much battery, looks normal.
The drain got better overtime, now I get 3% overnight (10 hours) on flight mode without AOD and 5% with cellular, which is ok.
However, on standby time over the daylight, the battery drains 1% every 30 minutes, I think that is very bad. not sure why the standby time is so bad.
I get SOT of 6~ minutes every 1% (which is great for me).
So I'm not sure what could be causing that. I've watched a video by linus on youtube about galaxy s9+ on battery drain, and it seems that the mobo have a leak, which made it drain.
Is it possible that huawei also suffer from mobo leaks?
