Any tips for extending battery life? I probably get about 8 hours out of my One S, I'm currently on the PACman rom.
Thanks

Are you sure 8 hours are too few? It depends on what you do in those 8 hours. Try to be more precise about your pattern of usage.
I do use it quite a lot, it's just I'd like a bit more. I've tried reducing the screen brightness and slowing the cpu but maybe the answer for me is to not use it so much.

Yep, autobrightness and google location service (or what else is named) are two major things to work on for battery life. I don't think you should downclock the cpu instead.
Let's say if you browse the web for half the time (4,5 hours) it's normal.
Web browsing will eat battery. My phone is used for work and it's on a 2g only signal, I can be on the phone for an hour or more each day and the phone will last two days easily though I always charge it overnight anyway.
Maybe one solution for you is to buy a battery pack to recharge it if you can't be near a socket or possibly even one of those powerskin (not sure of the name) cases that have a battery in them.

I will look at the Powerskin, thanks. When I had a Wildfire I just used to carry a spare battery, which I can't do now. I have a charger with me to grab a bit of charge when I can, so perhaps I'm not doing too bad considering how much I use it.
You may also want to search the thread about battery replacement with One X+ (2100mAh if I'm not mistaken).
Thanks will do.

I badly need a stable rom with CM7 features, which has a battery life of atleast 24 hours. Oxygen was really nice and fast but i missed the CM7 lockscreen gestures.
For the past week i have been using NSCollab. Really love the rom, Fast and exceptionally stable. Set cpu governor on "Smartass" My data is always turned on so the battery drain was quite high ( Check the screenshot). So after a full day of college, came back home in the evening and battery was 9%. . I play games, send texts and call usage is like 1-1.5 hours a day.
Any suggestions on which rom i should try now?. Is Cm7 good?
Also, has anyone tried a different kernel for NSCollab?
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using my new Nx-S just for the few days, but i choosed before MIUI ROM from Brainmaster and its very smooth, fast and stable.

Buy an extra battery from Samsung. You won't have to worry about it anymore. At 560 INR, they're cheap! I picked up two. So now, I have one charging at home, and one fully charged in my back pocket. Bye bye battery worries! Hello heavy usage!
I dude that was one if then first things I did. I went on Ebay and found a kit two batteries and a wall charger with USB plug charge. For 24.99 I can't go wrong. Though the batteries are only 1440 mhn but with 3 batteries I get 24hr heavy usage out of my I phone. That with about.10hours of music and everything else from txt to calls and Web

Yep, people need to stop complaining about battery life and take advantage of the fact that Android phones have a replaceable battery. I can't recommend it enough! If you've paid a pretty penny for your device, shell out that tiny bit extra and make it so you can use it to it's full potential.

i got it, the old battery lasted about 10 hours with me, this lasts about 12 hours under similar use... big difference is it takes about half the time to recharge! i think im gonna buy the Anker 1900mAh battery and try that out
The Anker 1900 seems to be the one everyone is using and actually IS 1900mAH. Some of these higher ones are false but I'd be interested in how you compare this and the Anker 1900. Going to get one of these anyway. Interesting about the re-charge time.

The recharge time is entirely possible of they punched a few thousand nano holes through the lithium to allow for the ions to transfer faster. However, considering the production time it probably takes and the price of this battery, I doubt it. I've been using the Anker 1900 mAh batteries and have been getting pretty solid life (with no calibration & heavy usage). I usually see 8-10 hours, which is fine because I just swap out the battery with the one that's been charging (I bought the 2-anker batteries + battery charger combo pack). I'm seeing some people say they get 20+ hours on a stock battery due to phone configuration? I'm not so sure about that yet. I'll do a calibrate, reconfigure my phone, then see what kind of hours i'm getting.
Mhh only 6 dollar. that is quit cheap. The anker 1000mAh costs around the double money and more.
Is it possible to built such a battery with _over_ 2400mAh with that money?
Just be careful.
Im using the anker one too. Really great.
I'm seriously getting a huge battery life right now, and I am on the Anker 1900. I have one battery but I have configured FauxClock to underclock the processor to 1GHz + I am using Juice defender on the Advanced setting. Yes the battery does need to be calibrated correctly but it's incredible the difference these two things make to battery life.
I use the phone a lot and I don't notice any lag when it's underclocked.

That is correct, I'm sure most of us spend a lot of time on the dev boards lurking, but in fact there is quite a bit you can do to make your battery life a lot longer without getting a new battery, aside from flashing a new rom and kernel. I personally have gone 20 hours with the stock battery, but that was with minimal use of course. One thing that increased my battery life significantly was making all my emails and updates C2DM, for instance. I'm sure there are a lot of users out there that still use email sync...
Here are my stats with ~10% remaining battery last night, before I went to sleep FB, LN, TW, Weather, 3x mail acc, all syncing as much as possible all the time, mails every 15mins, Whatsapp, Viber, GTalk, FBMessenger, ...

There will always be people who want an extended battery, but its really not needed unless you are using your phone to make 50 pho.e calls in a day or you play 3 hours of games. most people will be more than happy with the battery life provided by the One S.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
no need for a Extended Battery here, where would the battery go if there was one
If you are in bad cell coverage (which eats more juice) or are a heavy user, pray god invest a few bucks into a Gumpack external battery. That thing is half the size if a pack of cigs and stores enough juice for 2-3 full recharges on the go. Its one little more gadget to toss into your daypack and remember to keep charged but its well worth the bother. Certainly easier than speculating about a bigger battery while batt life is fine for most users.
And I am not bashing, if you have a 1.5h commute to work and spend it playing GTA3 i can see where the juice goes. So a gumpack battery would be your best approach, with the current 28nm Krait architecture there is not a lot to gain batterywise really. Plus, the AMOLED sucks less juice on dark images, something to keep in mind when picking a background image I think.

How well does it perform compared to the Anker one? The most I've gotten out of my Anker so far is three and a half day, but that is without using it a lot. I find that it mostly depends on the ROM you're using tho, and due to that I prefer the sensless ROMs, because they seem to run a lot lighter than their Sense counterparts. But hey, that's my observation.

What's your screen on time?
Someone got 4 days, 2h40m screen and 45 min in call using anker battery.
Skipjacks said:
Okay I want to put this business about bad battery life and battery bugs and all that jazz to bed.
Look at my battery graph. I rest my case.
Any battery problems are not with the ROM. It's clearly capable of having disgustingly good battery life.
That's 4 DAYS since unplugging with 8% battery life left as of right now.
That includes 2 hours and 40 minutes of screen on time
45 minutes of phone talk time
This is on the April 26th build. And this is the FIRST charge since flashing that build. So the battery use probably isn't even maximized yet.
My settings are OnDemand 192 - 1242
Anker battery
Auto Brightness is off and I use the notification bar swipe to adjust brightness as needed
Alterations made to the Google Services Framework to eliminate Google Wakelocks (this has nothing to do with Albino's code, hence it's not the ROM) Click here for more details
Greenify to keep other wakelocky apps on a short leash. (I'm looking at you T Mobile's My Account app. You're so useful but you think you own the place!)
Haptic feedback is off for everything. The only thing that's allowed to use the vibration function is the ringer (I don't use a ringtone, vibrate only) and reminder notifications. If you have haptic feedback on for every press on the screen and keyboard you are basically giving up battery power to run a small electric motor. That's not an efficient use of limited battery life.
Full disclosure. I don't keep mobile data on all the time. I turn it on as needed. And I've been very busy doing other stuff the past 4 days so there hasn't been a ton of use time. Obviously if I had been using it more it wouldn't have lasted 4 days. But if the ROM can idle for 4 days and not drain itself dry, then battery problems aren't in the ROM. They are with apps, settings, or user error. Albino's ROM can be configured to run for what may as well be for freakin' ever on a single charge. I'm half expecting him to add "sustainable cold nuclear fusion" to the changelog of the next build.
So if you've got battery issues, go buy an Anker before you do anything else. Even if you have other problem that will make everything better. And stop talking about battery issues in this thread. Come to the FAQ thread (see link in my signature) and ask questions about how to improve battery life there. We'll take all battery questions there with a smile and be glad to help you, where in this thread battery questions will be met with verbal beratement for clogging up the thread with whining.

Hello all,
So when I got my phone off eBay a couple months back, it came with a couple EZOPower 1900mAh batteries. They seem to work fine (except my phone may turn off when using the camera flash when battery is under ~60% - three pictures in a row you can pretty much guarantee it) other than that I don't know their condition.
Does anyone have experience with these batteries?:
http://www.amazon.ca/EZOPower-Standard-1900mAh-Battery-Sensation/dp/B006J41NPC
I found this related thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468559
It quickly became a discussion about Anker (only one reply was about EZO). Am mulling over switching to Anker, and I guess I am looking for justification for it. If there's a fair amount of life left in what I got, I'll hold off - I just don't know the warning signs to say its time.
I welcome opinions, stories, whatever. Thanks.
Don't know about these ones. I tried out the 2450 Gold batteries a while back and wouldn't go back. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41538260
Make sure you get Japanese-made not Chinese (check the photos).
As to the warning signs, I had camera shutdowns like you, cycling reboots, and other random shutdowns at time of processor stress. I had to reduce the max clock speed to ease the load.
Now all that's gone.

Just having the camera shutdowns, nothing else. I will try out the other EZO battery to see how it fares differently.
On a related note, I woke up today, took my phone off the charger, and did very little for the phone to be down to 15% in five hours. Took a few pictures, browsed a little, nothing serious. I attached my wakelocks and battery stats. The phone couldn't go into deep sleep whatever it was, and I could blame Auto pilot Mode for it, but Google Services did quite the number as well. Interesting enough I took a few screenshots.
Have since rebooted with the other battery. Will see how it goes.
Better day...
Edit: Just took three pictures in a row with this current battery life (33%). No reboots. This one is going strong.

No warranty from me of course...

Thanks so much, I'll give one of these a try
Not sure whether they're truly 2540mAh by the way - battery monitor doesn't think so. But they're much better than the stock battery, and don't cut out in the same way, so for me they've been a major step forward.

Yea I doubt they're much more capacity than what the stock battery reports (if at all), but fresh batteries can make a huge difference over a year old one.

other random shutdowns at time of processor stress. I had to reduce the max clock speed to ease the load.

David,
I think I'm finally getting that. I took my processor speed down one notch to 1458MHz. Everything is working out so far. Is there a lower speed you would recommend for this issue, or is 1458MHz sufficient?
Hoping the random shutdowns are battery related anyway ...

Actually I always use the frequency HTC shipped it with originally in Gingerbread - 1296. I've never noticed much difference in response in real life use, and the battery drain is so much lower so I get much better life. There's also a couple of threads around around suggesting that the really low bottom frequencies might be why some phones have wake-up problems. I've not seen those, but I tend to turn the bottom frequency back up to 192 as well. I really appreciate the options the devs have given us, I just choose not to use them...
Now Running Anker ...
Update ...
Even after changing the frequencies to 1296/192mHz, I was still having problems with the random shutdowns, although they happened less often. I put the EZO battery I had at the beginning of the thread back in, and that alleviated the problem. So I am just dealing with an exhausted battery.
I think that was justification enough to try the Anker. $26 CDN (and a week and a half) later, Amazon delivered and I swapped out batteries. I am now on day two, and after a full charge last night, it has been 11 hours at light/moderate use and I'm still at 84% battery life. I am doing very well I think, since with the EZO I would be down to 60-some percent in the same amount of time. I don't think I'll even bother with the charger tonight (should last all day tomorrow as well). Probably a good idea since you only get 500 good charges with the batteries anyways.
I even tested the camera, no shutdowns there (although the real test would be when the power is below 50%).
Leaving the frequencies as they are, no need to stress the device (and battery), for a little extra speed that I wouldn't really notice.
Good news. Hope it holds up for you.
