I know that there are lots of these battery life threads and i have read most of them and I've tried closing processes that i don't need and i have tried setcpu to keep the cpu low when the device is off, which seemed to help some but my phone would shutoff randomly. So last night i had a full battery and went to bed when i woke up 8 hrs later i was at 20% so about 10% an hr not even using the device. I have attached some pics for reference does anyone have any thoughts that might help. Thanks
I don't know about galaxy S but on my X10 the problem was wifi.
When I didn't have a data plan I had wifi on all day and the battery was down in 10h max 12h.
To improve it I had to use JuiceDefender to enable wifi every five minutes for updates..
Try to disable wifi overnight, reboot the phone and see what happens.
By the way, what app you used for those stats?

I don't have wifi enabled, I don't use it that often. the name of the prog is system panel
Very weird indeed. I have my Captivate with Wifi on all day, GPS signal and auto sync and when I go to bed and wake up, the battery hasnt gone down at all. I had the phone go on full battery one day and I even sent a few texts and went online for 10 minutes before it lost just a bit of battery.
Do you have that one LED app installed? The one that shows a little red dot on the corner of your screen when you have a notification?

yes i do.. Why? but it was turned off last night, as its turned off every night
Ok so i tested again last night and I did not have my im+ app running and the battery life was soooo much better. I also did not have system panel running which records all the battery and cpu stats but i'm think its the im+ app that was taking up all the juice. Can anyone think of another app that does skype and facebook but that also does not take up sooo much batter life??? Thanks

Possible he has his set to stay on. While yours may turn off when sleeping.

Open up the dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#*
Go to BATTERY HISTORY>PARTIAL WAKE USAGE and maybe that will show you which app is sucking up your battery life while you sleep.
Also try, if you don't absolutely need an internet connection while you sleep, SMODA widget to turn off your mobile internet. It's quick, free, and painless.

yeah the app that took the most juice was im+
I drained mine down to 5% and charged full a few times and still only got 8 - 10 hours on mine until i flashed to jh2 and now have been getting almost 16 hours with same usage and apps installed. I charge mine at night. I use ebuddy with the piwer saver option turbed on abd it does an ok job.

I have the stock ROM and stock launcher and my battery is awsome! 8 hours and I will still be above 80%.
Brightness: Lowest (manually control via stock stock gesture)
GPS: OFF
Wifi: ON all day
BT: OFF
GMail manual
Other emails accounts hourly for the most part.
Widgets: Google/Fancy Weather
BG: Mostly Black
I have never seen such good battery life on a smart phone.
I could easily get 2 days, but i rather charge every night and then not worry about battery usage.
The wifi/gmail/gps made a big difference, its too bad you can't set gmail to hourly or something lik e that. Some of my email accounts i would like to set longer than hourly.
The last few days have been pretty good one my phone. Used to get maybe 16 hours but my last charge lasted me about 50 hours with moderate browsing, gaming, and voice/text. Juiceplotter is telling me I'll be getting about 47 hours

How many hours with the display on?
Sent from my phone so I apologize for any spelling mistakes
My battery icon depletes one notch when I'm using the screen for about an hour. Some people recommend cycling the battery, in which you do a full drain and immediate full charge, 3 or 4 times. I've done it, but it's hard to say if it explains my good battery life.
let the battery drain COMPLETELY until the phone turns off a couple times, then charge it till 100% without unplugging it.

You don't want to drain the battery that much, those kind of batteries can be damaged. The phone turns off for a reason.
I haven't done the cycle thing and its fine. A lot of that comes from older batteries with the memory problem.
irus, software which is based on data connection drains the battery one way or another. Some apps now support push notifications and IM+ does too. Did you try to use push?
These claims of multiple day charges with moderate use is crazy to me. I have the newest ROM, a black screen, display all the way down, gps off, wifi on when in range, make zero voice calls, run juice, and only have 2 widgets that update every 4 hours. I use my phone for a maximum of 3 hours browsing the web, reading XDA and feedR, checking facebook and the occasional text message. My phone lasts a total of 12 to 14 hours. My battery has a manufacture date of late July. Is there some secret I am not aware of?

unplugged 2 hours, wifi on, gps on, auto update on, facebook, played friut ninja for about 20 minutes, 1 game of cribbage, and been getting 4-5 email per hour, battery at 86%, before I would have been at 60% with that much use.
Anyone else seen battery life increases?
This. It's noon and I'm still at 80%. I used to have to set my phone to flight mode all day at work just to make it through the day. Now I can leave 3G on all day and not worry about it. That's the best part of the update in my opinion.
I was about to post this also. Yes, I have noticed a dramatic increase in battery life since I've updated. Now granted, it's been less than 24 hours but it is noticeable. I'll see how it goes over the next few days. But I agree, I am very happy with the update so far.
Which ROM we're you guys running before? FJ6 (stock)? A lot of users noticed better battery life after updating to some of the leaked builds (JH2 onwards)

4h 45min since unplug.
Email push multiple times an hour, text messages, light internet use, light market use and 35 minutes of guns'n'glory. I am at 71%
Glad someone else noticed this
I'm a victim of the partial update but my battery drain has been nearly half! I've actually left live wallpapers on and can make it through the while day at the rate I'm going

6 hours 53 minutes since unplug and I'm at 23% battery. This is roughly on track with previous battery depletion, but today I've been doing heavier internet and Facebook use than usual. I think that, previous to this update, I would have had to charge by now. This is with background data and sync on, over wifi, with a combination of Google Listen, Music Player, and Pandora use.
The telling point is that screen battery use is about 10-12% lower than usual for this type of usage, at 54%. I've seen it as high as 70% on days when I'm playing around with the phone a lot.
I'm ready to call this an improvement.

My phone was at about 75% at around 8:00PM last night. It's currently 2:42PM now and it's only down to 25%. Granted, it was in sleep mode from around 12:30AM to about 7:00AM. But I did use it moderately last night and throughout the day today. So the battery performance has definitely improved for mine (stock with yesterday's update).
For those who have seen an improvement:
- Did you use a task killer pre-update?
- Are you using one now?

Unfortunately my battery life has been greatly decreased by the update. My phone is rooted, but the update installed without any trouble on the first try. Before the update the phone was fine between 9am and 1-2am without charging it at all. That's being on wifi most of the time, and maybe a bit of talking, e-mail, and rss reading. Once asleep I'd let it charge overnight. Typically Display used the most battery, usually about 50%.
Since the update I find that I need to charge the phone in the middle of the day. The first full day of the update I used the audio player for several hours, so I thought maybe that was it, but I've done that before without a major impact on the battery. Today I didn't use the audio player at all, and after 8 hours the battery is down to 26%.
According to the power usage information the largest consumer is Voice calls, at 29%. That was 11m 46s of call time. Looking at Juiceplotter, for a typical day at work before the update my battery dropped about 2% in 2 hours, with the phone on wifi, and otherwise idle. Today the phone lost 6-9% in 2 hours of being idle.
The last time I charged my phone was yesterday morning. I just plugged it in an hour ago at 15%. Thats like, 35 hours on a charge after moderate usage. Not bad. Much better than my old G1 heh.
I'm at 45 hours, still at 29%. Light usage, probably ~12 hrs in flight mode, but music player on for about 5 hrs, 5 min voice call, a few texts, some facebook/web. Still very impressive!
I've had slightly better battery life since the update.
*edit: i posted this because i'm actually happy with my battery life*
1) install setcpu and have profiles-- screen off 216/216, overheat 216/600, and a sliding scale based on how much battery is left
2) uninstall battery monitor widget, and instead use anycut to put a shortcut to battery info on my home screen.-- i realized that i was running down by battery by constantly turning on my screen to look at this beautiful widget. therefore, i found an even less battery consuming option AND i limit myself to checking battery percentage once an hour
3) turn down screen brightness completely in the evening and in well lit areas-- aka work.
4) use titanium to freeze bloatware. it was brought up how this bloat showed up in running apps still and i used bloat freezer to freeze them again. HOWEVER, bloat freezer for some reason, made my battery life worsen, so i uninstalled and went back to titanium. however, now, these apps do not show up in running apps, but i have "lost" my account. i.e. can't find it to unfreeze if i wanted to.
5) used battery calibration and ran the phone down until it died, and then charged up completely while off, two nights in a row...
6) changed the secret menu to "auto"
7) removed the music player widget from my homescreen, replacing it instead with a shortcut to my all music playlist
things i did not budge on
there were things that i could've cut down, but would have, in my opinion, dumbed down the phone.
1) autosync both email addresses
2) beejive im is running at all times with push notifications, alert on the first message
3) words with friends also has push notifications enabled
4) i use shopkick constantly
5) "4G" service- its what im paying for, and i enjoy the extra speed, so i never turn it off.

First of all, only calibrate your battery once. The phone needs to take those reading for the battery to drain evenly. It can take awhile for it to read the entire battery. So just charge to 100 percent, clear battery stats and leave it for awhile. Secondly, 4 percent in an hour isn't all that bad. it should be more like 1 or 2 percent but 4 isn't terrible.
What is the secret menu?
I'm losing around 10% per hour.... moderate use.. I calibrated the battery once, and I don't really have any apps in the background. I also froze apps using BloatFreezer. I have no idea what to do at this point.
going to try this tomorrow morning, the phone prior to this replacement was dying in 5 hours with no use and data turned off while I was at work, that is terrible I would be happy if I get 10 hours, haha.
I recently bought the g2x and I must say I'm very disappointed in the battery life. How do you check what the battery % loss per hour?

If there is, not sure what it is haha, but I rather just not download an app for that and just use math But really, the battery life on my phone is horrible, part of me wants to return it under buyer's remorse and part of me wants to wait for gingerbread to see if it works? Not sure what to do. I don't want to end up sticking with a crappy battery life phone.
So how do we access the "secret menu", and what do we change to auto?
for your 4% drop per hour, what was your phone usage? did you pretty much leave the phone idle or maybe 20 min of usage? that makes a big difference

I'm also getting around 4% per hour. Decent usage too (little over an hour of phone time with bluetooth, couple hours of web browsing over the day, alternating between wifi and cell radio). I got this through a battery calibration only.

This is an average of 4% drop over an 8-9 hour period. Over that time, I probably talked on the phone for about a half an hour, had iming running, so iw ould answer ims intermittently- probably 20 mins of iming, scanned a few things and checked in using shopkick, browsed for an hour cumulatively, read emails as they came in, and read and answered maybe 20 texts?
i would say that is medium/light usage. since i am in and out of meetings, i would only get a 1-2% drop some hours, and since i was talking on the phone, a bigger drop then...

sorry, i reworded my post to first say that i did not run battery calibrate twice.. also, i too agree that 4% an hour isnt bad. what are you doing to get 1-2% an hour?

hi guys, i'm wondering if theres something wrong with me nexus s cause it drains battery really quick.
settings:
wifi - always on
background data disabled
display on lowest brightness
using go launcher
use phone couple hours a day. (maybe 3 - 4 hours on display?)
by the end of the day, im at like 10% or less battery. (unplug around 8AM and 10% around 15h later).
i went to sleep yesterday on full battery and didn't charge. woke up and i'm at 75%!
email seems to be the biggest battery drainer apart from display. i don't even use my email that often, but it always comes back in the 'running applications' list.
any way to fix?
What's your current setup? Are you running stock or a custom ROM and kernel?
A ~80% drain in 15 hours is something I have too btw, but some people get their device to last almost 2 days. Based on your usage, you should at least get around 20-24 hours.
One of the best enhancements the custom ROMs gave us, battery wise, is the Deep Idle mod. That'll make your battery drain maybe 2% over night.
You say the E-mail app is using the most battery... Maybe it's constantly checking whichever server you connect it to. The native Gmail app had battery drain issues in the very first releases of GB but those have been worked out a long time ago.
Greetz
thanks for the reply
i'm on stock rom, no root.
also im using the email app not the gmail app (not sure if it makes a difference) and i set the update interval to never.
Can you go to Settings => Battery - Click the graph and post the top 5-6 stats from that list please?
Also, which version of Gingerbread are you running? The last one? (2.3.7)
And apparently I was mistaken, it was the E-mail client and not the Gmail client that had reported battery drain issues before:

just went from 83% to 66% from listening to uber music for half an hour and playing 10mins of angry birds at the same time...

That's not too abnormal, gaming asks a lot of the battery.
What is stopping you from rooting and trying out new ROMs? You have Nexus S after all, the possibilites are legion

I recently got a new lg g2x. Seems like an alright device (it's not the best out there, but it was free so it'll do). The only thing I can't stand it even with pretty low usage i'm getting around 12 hours of battery life max. With the same type of usage from the sensation I had before I would be getting around 24 hours or more.
Any one got any ideas of what to do? I'm currently on eaglesblood, I was on CM7 latest nightly before, and before that was stock. All battery life sucked though.
Any help would be appreciated. I did order a spare battery on ebay, that i'm hoping might do some good.

What happened to your Sensation?
Have you tried calibrating after flashing a new ROM? Personally, fitsnugly's CM7 Kang plus Faux's or Morfic's Trinity kernel has always given me really good battery life. Around 24 hours with average useage.
I'm returning it via American Express premium returns. By calibrate you mean?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Use the battery calibration app in the market after flashing new roms. If you can't figure out how to make your battery last longer, just buy an extended battery for like 12 dollars off ebay. Everybody has had good luck with them. There's a thread over it in the accessories portion of the g2x forum.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Alright, I already ordered a spare battery, but I'm not sure what else it could be. I'll post back after I get the battery and try calibrating it.
Just in case you may have overlooked this....turn your wifi off when not using it. Wifi burns goood.
My wifi is always off, although a few times when trying to turn it on when just flashing CM7 it resulted with not being able to turn it on due to some "error." A recent example of my battery drain is: Cell Standby 43%, Phone Idle 32%, Display 16%, Android System 11%.
Calibrating would be my advice. I get a good 24 hours of usage with CM7 with normal usage. I get 30+ with light usage, and this is with wifi set to never sleep.
Everyone that gets 16+ hours, do you have Data running all the time?
Data + Light Use = 8hr MAX
Juice Defender "Data Off" + Light Use = 14hrs MAX
Juice Defender "Data Off" + Medium USE = 8hrs
Only did a couple texting and my battery is at 35% already, and its only been 6 hours...
Battery Calibrate = Flash new rom > 100% > Calibrate > use and recharge for 3 days...

How can I find out if my Phone "Actually Sleeping"?
If it's actually sleeping, then your phone would not have any activity under "awake" while the screen is off. Also currently I'm on 30 hours battery with 33% left.

It show that it's was awake the whole time... the past 7 hours...
When I scroll down it show these that is on the whole time:

Telephony Service on and off
Messaging
Facebook
Gmail
Email
Weird though, I have Juice Defender on Extreme.. so there isn't any data running until I enable it.
Well to find out if it's been awake the whole time you have to go in one more menu deeper. You can do that by pressing the graph in the battery stats.

I'm currently exploring which programs are preventing the phone to stay "asleep."
I freeze lots of programs I don't use, the only ones I see constantly active now are Google maps, Facebook, and the launcher (which I hope isn't one of the issues).
I froze the first 2 and I'll be doing tests today to see exactly what it is.
Do you guys use the default MIUI launcher?
Yeah I'm using the default MIUI launcher..
I also freezed MAP and FACEBOOK... see how that goes for the rest of the day.
Phone was off for about an hour straight, think I'm getting better "sleep" periods. Launcher activity is constantly blue.
I use the modified launcher with the extended settings. Only widget on it is fancy widget pro.
Going to see how well the phone fairs for the rest of the day.
EDIT:
Been doing research, apparently telocation causes a lot of battery drain, and alarm manager (although mine is almost always asleep).
I recently uninstalled fancy widget in hopes that launcher won't keep itself awake, and froze the telocation and no freeze or force close on anything.
I had a major battery issue with my last install of CM7 on a new G2X, what fixed it for me was enabling "use wireless networks" in location and security settings. I noticed something was odd when I ran speedtest and every time it would try to connect to servers in NY or NJ(I live in NC).....I'm not exactly sure what was going on, but enabling it fixed my battery life.
