Hi
Can anyone make unlimited outdoor mode(max brightness)?(without 15 minutes limit)
Do you know that having that feature turned on for long periods of time can burn your screen, right?

So I finally think I got my phone set up how I want it. I was wondering if you guys think that this is good? As far as screen time and length of constant usage it is the best i have had. I dont know how it will be under normal usage but i am hoping i will be able to go a whole day when i am not TRYING to burn out the battery.
My phone seems to be running awesome and real smooth minus the proximity sensor problem on phone calls... and the occasional wierd little glitchiness from the ICS tiny bugs. like once the white text turn green in lock screen and lock screen didnt sense my touch and kept green flickering. forcing me to pull the battery. With the occasional little glitches that make me turn it off and then on to reset it. Had it since it leaked and have had to restart and pull battery a total of maybe 5 times. With gingerbread I would have glitched maybe once every couple weeks.
MY Phone:
NS4G ICS 4.0.4 IMM26 Stock n Locked.
Some GApps disabled that I don't use. I leave off GMAPS until I use it. Only a couple widgets on my home screens.
Obviously have it setup with a black background. Settings how I like them now. Had the screen on the whole time to test this. Screen brightness around 60%. This is the best battery usage I have had. When checking running apps my Ram usage is right around 140 used with no apps open. Just in case anyone is wondering.
I had 3g on at first 2 bar signal for the first couple hours. I was on the internet cruising forums, groupon, craigslist, watching rock climbing videos. played some bubble blast. a little bit of gt academy racing and some other games.
then turned on wimax with great signal the second half. doing the same stuff. scren on the whole time. playing with my phone the whole time. except for maybe 30+ minutes when i was eating and stuff.
Before this on gingerbread, I averaged about 3 hrs screen on time. Also when I first loaded ICS I BURNED thru battery Under this type of usage.
here are my screen shots. IS THIS GOOD,GREAT OR NORMAL OR WHAT you think?
With my combo i get more than that. Playing all the time, with wi-fi on, 3G always, i get over 7/8hrs.
all depends on rom/kernel selected..

I would say five and a half hours sounds pretty decent even with brightness at 60 percent. I keep my screen on auto brightness but have never tried leaving my screen on nonstop. I should try it sometime lol

Thanks for responding everyone.
Jinsoku3g- What setup are you running? About how long do you think you burn thru a battery at those settings i described?
Kalitza-
WOW that is a lot. What combo do you have? What brightness setting? I am trying to compare what i can get before i go the custom rom route to make sure it is worth it.. If i can actually get 2 hours more screen on time with the same screen brightness settings then i would definitley make the switch. Lower brightness settings and auto brightness saves a ton of battery and bumps me around the 7 hour mark.... considering auto bright mode is always around 25-30% when i check it. my screen is never over 70%... it is so bright i cant look at it up close.. lol...
Also, are you OClock'd/UC and/or OVolt'd/UV?
So as long as we are at comparable screen bright levels. It makes me think how much better it could be. Would like to plz know yer stats upon testing? Screen % and Oc/Ov-Uc/Uv. Do you have any screenshots?
Thanks for the input guys. I am always up for hearing more about where i stand in your opinions. I know why/why not to root and all that. Just wanting to see if my stockness tweaked is comparable enough to please my needs.
I was just looking at how to save battery on the Google nexus site cuz I was bored, but also deep down trying to save battery, and I read that lowering your screen time out saves battery.. how? like I have mine at 30 minutes because I always turn off my screen when I'm done with my phone, and if I'm reading something or looking at a picture or whatever it won't turn off on me. how will setting it to like 15 seconds save your battery, when I turn off my phone when I'm done with it anyway at 30 minutes time out?
thanks!
Just based on the principle that you might leave the screen on when you set it down. If you're turning the screen off yourself every time it won't save you anything.

A 3-min time out will reduce the loss of power in the event that you inadvertently do not turn off the screen, but would still allow for uninterrupted reading.
brilliant..
ohh ok, thanks everyone
I've been using the camera flash as a flashlight most nights when going to bed, as my wife usually goes to sleep before me and I don't want to turn on the room lights or nightstand lamp. Is there a max life rating for the flash? I don't want to overuse it and burn it out.

It should last a long time. The bigger issue is not to leave it on for extended periods of time. If it gets too hot it will get damaged and fail.

Thanks! It's usually just a few minutes a night, when I'm walking from the bathroom to my side of the bed and getting situated before going to bed.

Thats when I use my flashlight as well. I have been doing it for years and never had an issue other than quick battery drain. The good news about this phone is the adjustable brightness of the light.
Using it the way you do should not shorten the life of the LED significantly or notably.

You can adjust the brightness of the flash?

In the Quick toggle area, click the word flashlight instead of the flashlight icon. There you can adjust the brightness. Good luck!
Is it possible to make the watch go to watch mode (only shows time and steps) automatically when the battery for example is about 10-15% to stop the battery from dying. I know that it goes in some sort of battery save mode when it's only 15% left, but that is only that it turns of the alway on display and something more.
It would be nice if it was possible, because some days the watch consumes more battery and it could be many hours left of the day and your long way from a charger...

No replies? I'd also like to know if there is a solution for this!

I read somewhere that it goes to watchmode when only 5% is left. I tested that today and that's correct.

And when it is in watch mode (with 5% left) it last 11,5 hour or more. I put it on the charger when 11,5h had past and it was still going. Good to know

is it always a digital watch face or is it possible to change the watchface of watch mode?
Once I was able to change the analogue clock of watch mode, but the official can not be done.
As far as I remember, I have uploaded another kernel...
hello
I also would like to know, how to change the watchface of the watch mode (option) on the HW2. -> the face looks quite big and bright....I suppose make it smaller and dimmed (without step option) it will even hold longer...
Are there any options or idea how it would be possible?
Has anyone tested stamina mode enabled all the time vs not running until 15% battery remaining.
I have heard conflicting information about this. As oreo has its own battery saving features this is the same as stamina mode. So end result is you don't gain any extra usage by having stamina mode enabled.
Has anyone tested this?
Good question. Would love to know people's thoughts.
I only managed to achieve these numbers thanks to stamina mode... I activate it before bed and turn it off once I'm awake.

What would happen if you kept stamina mode enabled 24 7

If the stamina mode is on "Battery time preferred" the phone will feel a little laggy due to the reduced performance and that's not much fun.
It will also turn off some important features like the video enhancement features and I'd rather enjoy the phone than cut the performance short to save some juice.

I'm trying stamina mode on 24/7 and currently down to 68% with 3hrs and 18 mins screen on time.
Lets see where this ends up

That looks about right my friend. Keep in mind that using wifi will use less battery than mobile data. The brightness level, the strength of your reception, the type of content you watch (4k vs 1080p), browsing the internet or watching videos, having Bluetooth on, GPS on, all of these have an effect on the way your battery will perform.
Always deactivate the things you don't need and never allow your phone to get too hot. If you feel it getting a little to warm just disconnect the internet and leave the phone to cool off for a few minutes.
This should keep your battery healthy for a very long time. :good:

Currently I'm on 50% with 5 hrs SOT which is pretty good. I think if I had a device with OLED screen then i would get much better results. However for a LCD panel this is pretty good. I'd be happy if I constantly got 6 hrs SOT with LTE usage.
I would like others input on this too. Also please share your experience, usage and thoughts
