Could someone please develop a good app that would enable the battery to be drained as much as possible and to charge slower so we could all properly calibrate our batteries?
Do we really need this since it's a Li-ion battery? I know Ni-Mh and Ni-Cad has memory effect, but not on the Li-Ion battery.
I was just wondering the same thing today....simply because there seems to be several different methods to do it. Some say charge 8 hours, turn off, charge and hour, unplug, turn on charge 10 minutes. Then other methods say to do something different....be nice to have an app to walk you through different methods so you know step by step your doing it right
I calibrated mine last night and I'm going to get about 18 hours if not more from it....before yesterday I was getting 9.
The ONLY other different I did was make some profiles on CPU but I cant imagine it would make that much of a difference. I bet its a mix of both

That is to funny I was just saying to my wife the other day that I should make one of these programs seeing that there are none already. I hate having to manually kill my battery every night before I charge it again.
Is it needed? It depends on your school of thought, some say yes, some say no. All I know is that on the few devices I have had in the past, if I constantly plug them in to "top them off" then the battery never ends up lasting very long after a few months of doing that. So I am a believer in killing the battery before charging on devices like these.
So the bottom line is if there is a desire for this, I may try to put an app together for it, as I know myself I am interested I just didn't think many others would be.
All the battery calibration tools, are basically deleting the file... right?
Is it that hard to boot into recovery and wipe battery stats?

I think the second part has to do with hardware. The phones hardware just doesn't have trickle charge implemented and instead lets it drop back down to 90% then starts charging it again.
As for the second part, it came on our phones, even has a default widget. 4G

Um... actually that is (by most accounts) bad for Li-Ion. You want to AVOID completely draining them. All of this stuff is more art than science, but I have way more often heard that completely draining LI batteries is bad. What kills them is the number of cycles they have been through (like -25 +25, -25 +25, -50 +50 would be a full cycle).
You do however want to give them a full up down cycle once in a while (maybe every 1-3 months) for calibration.
Then again, as I said, it is more art than science, and I have heard your method as being better, but the not draining argument seems to be the vast majority.
I'll try to do a little look-see and update this or repost if I find any stronger evidence.
the thing about my phone and battery that ALWAYS baffled me was i would plug it in at night be it at 10% or 22 i would leave plugged in while slept i would wake up unplug and look at battery percentage and it would be like 95.....no other phone has even unplugged and dropped 5 percent by doing nothing????
turn your brightness to 100% and change it so that it never turns off; use wifi tether and play a 720p movie at the same time; oc your kernel to it's highest stable frequency. it'll drain pretty quickly.
I know I might get flamed for this....
Apple suggests, with their laptops, to once a month or so, run the battery completely down. Then let the battery cool down for a little bit. Then give it a full, uninterrupted, overnight charge. I forget if they said to repeat this a second time, then you're good.
This is all from memory of me reading this a couple years ago or so, so our might not be verbatim. Their laptops use lithium ion technology...
(and they used to blow up and melt down too!) Lol!

That's because the phone stops charging when it reaches 100%, and runs off of battery probably until it reaches in the low 90s, then charges again. You won't ever notice this because the light will always be green. However, you'll notice that unplugging it a few moments after it turns green, the battery will stay anywhere from 100%-98% for a while. At least on my phone it does.
Is there any way to make this program "auto run" during sleep so it can do everything it needs to do during the night charge (similar to quickpull for blackberry)

I am by no means an expert so if you find any reliable info on this and can link us to read, I would love to learn more. All I know is that it is commonly said to drain rechargeable batteries and that I have seen that topping them off very often does lead to battery life degradation.

There is no need to fully drain the battery. Its purpose in calibration is to configure the software that is correlating voltage to percentage charged. That's all. Regarding the old Apple advice, that is doing the same thing. It will not affect the hardware.
Now, what WILL affect the hardware is charging itself. Every charge/discharge cycle will reduce the total capacity of the battery. This is why the EVO will not cycle on it's own until 10% discharged. It's improving the overall battery life by that restriction.
In short, you will save money overall by getting a higher capacity battery that you don't force to charge too often. Draining your battery does nothing but give you peace of mind and it only really needs recalibrating when it's total capacity has been reduced which isn't often. 3-6 months.

Btw - what are the charging calibrations people are using? Are you seeing one working better than another?
Im a noob, so take what I say worth a grain of salt but yesterday I did the standard method where you fully charge...turn off...plug back in until led changes green and do it a few times.
I went from 9 hours to 17 hours with no other changes except a few profiles in setCPU.
I did this just last night so my results are fresh.

A few SetCPU profiles is all it takes to see a dramatic increase in battery life, especially while screen off. If you disable it I bet whatever gain you think was from 'calibrating' it disappears.
I was wondering why the samsung epic screen consumes so much battery life. I have my screen fully dimmed and on top of that the screen filter is around 50% and my screen still comsumes 80%-90% of my battery life. Is anybody working on any mode that will help this problem or is it because the samsung epic has a Super Amoled screen which comsume more battery life. Great phone I am just hope somebody can mode the screen consumption of the battery life. The battery is good with a custom Rom I just wish it could be even better.
You're missing the point. The fact the screen uses 80% of the battery means nothing more than that it draws more power than any other part, there isn't anything wrong with that. The screen is on so it uses power, pretty simple. Now if the radio was using 90% of the battery that would be bad.

Well that is true. I was just wondering if they cause make the battery consumption from the screen a little bit less taxing. I am grateful the the Radio is not comsumption a lot of the battery life.
Weird thing I had on my htc hero before an update was screen battery use was super high too (same levels seen here). Then after some update, it was a much more normal range (somewhere around 30-40% maybe?) consistently. I'm wondering if it's really that much of the power usage or just a bug in the reporting. Butt smoke is done blowing by me now.
The more it sits idle, the lower the percentage gets. It's a relative statistic.
Well, I guess its because the radio uses a lot less, it has to add up to 100 percent, and if you're using the display that time, then its probably what is using up the most battery

Lol I hadn't even noticed that one.
My screen takes up about 90% of the battery usage as well, but that is only since Froyo. On Froyo, the battery usage only shows Display at about 95% and Cell Standby at the other 5%. On Eclair it would show everything else that would run throughout the day like live wallpapers and whatnot. Froyo only shows Display and Cell Standby, but oh well, it doesn't mean that it's killing your phone quicker, since I upgraded to Froyo and got roms and everything installed, I get about twice the battery life.
I think you have to be NUTS to not like the Almond screen !!!
The battery life is good.

LOL!!! The joke is on me!!! I do love the display. I am just getting greed for more battery life that is all.
Yeah, as was stated above, it's just a relative statistic. The screen would naturally take up more of the total 100% allocable battery life. Makes sense, since the screen is always on when you do anything to your phone. Try restarting your phone, then play your music player for a while with the screen off. You should see that statistic change considerably.
The reason the screen takes up such a large percentage of battery life is because they made the rest of the phone so efficient!
I barely used my phone yesterday. It has been on for 1 day 17 hours since I swapped batteries and I still have a 36% charge. The screen has been on for 1 hr 59 minutes in that time, but it accounts for 71% of my battery usage. When you aren't seeing the TWS bug, everything else in your phone draws an incredibly small amount of power which makes the screen look like it is using a lot of juice.
its the price you pay for hd quality i guess
Screen filters use more voltage to apply so don't use them. And it is an app that is always running. This is an amazing screen.
anyone come up with a list to enable/disable to improve battery?
I think the battery is already pretty phenomenal.

Stop using the light and orientation sensors. So turn off auto-rotate and don't use auto-screen brightness. Also use wifi when possible; 3g will consume more power if your signal is weak.

It is not good for me either. I am loosing about 15% a hour with the screen off and not even using it. If I use the phone i can just watch it fall about 1% every 5 min. I don't get it. the only thing i have in the background running is weather, twitter and gmail. That is it nothing else. The Android OS sits about 86% use in the batter use screen. I have no idea what is causing this. Any help would be great.

Yes it is always posted that high. I have also already tried the suggestion of completely draining the battery and charging to 100% twice now. Doesn't seem to help. This is not my first android phone so I have tried all the typical turn stuff off. I started with the hero and then went to the evo. Then jumped to verizon for thunderbold and now back on sprint for this phone obviously. So far this is the worst battery life I have had yet. Seeing what you guys are getting though gives me hope.
I have tried using spareparts to get more battery information but get a force close when trying to do that.
Man I know that battery results range pretty wildly, but I'm averaging 10% loss per 2 hours.
On launch day I was on it from about 3:30pm until about 10pm and only lost about 40%. And when I say on it, I bet the screen on time was 95% of that time.
So far, the battery life is one of my favorite things about this phone. First time I've felt comfortable enough to run a live wallpaper.

You are lucky then, If i use the phone I will loose 40% in about 2 hours no problem. Also if you are loosing about 5% an hour that will only give you about 20 hours total before your dead. I see people reporting they are getting over a day. Just don't see how. Are they just not using their phone at all.

You SHOULD always when you get a new battery fully Drain it and then fully charge the battery with the device OFF. Thats what I did with my phone. I kept using it once I got it, it lasted around 5 hours before the phone shut off during a phone call. then when I plugged it in to charge, I plugged it in and did not turn it on and waited till it fully charged with the Blue Light. I dont know about the normal thing now adays with lithium ion batteries but you were always warned in the packaging to let your battery fully cyle its first cycle with no use at all. The cells in the batteries have a memory type of design and if you dont fully charge the battery you can prevent it from knowing its full capacity.
Now I dont know if this is true anymore with the new battery production of the manufacturers now may power cycle the batteries before they seal the whole package so the customers dont have to do it. Maybe why when you get your device the battery is around 50% now like mine came. I remember older devices you could not use your device until you fully charged the battery the first time.
About Screen Brightness, I learned from a Epic user that the best way to conserve battry usage was to always keep your Screen Brightness at 10% (Gotta love the Touchwiz Brightness Changing with the Top Notification bar, this device will not show the slider bar like Touchwiz 3.0 on the Epic but IT STILL WORKS!!!!). I have noticed that at the lowest brightness setting I can still see everything vividly enough to work with it and im getting over 24 hours with moderate normal usage (like only 1-3 5-10 minute phone calls, surfing the net, surfing for new apps) This is my first android phone. I also have had 4G turned off and Wifi off all this time as I have no way to access those right now. I also have GPS turned off because I havent needed to use it yet. I pretty much have everything but Basic needs turned on besides all the Factory default presets. I also Turned my screen mode to DYNAMIC, which seems to show more vivid colors like I use on my Samsung TV for my computer usage.
Now I turned off Live wallpaper and im using one of the preinstall basic Grey ones (the one with the asfault looking spot light) (I have been trying to hit the crazy benchmarks people are getting trying to find out why I am not getting the 93+mflops mine keeps hitting 80's) So I dont know what heavy usage is doing to my phone.
but then again this is only under 48 hours of ownage. My first full night off the charger was 1 day and 3hours before it said I was 5% battery life and I plugged it in.
Wanted to start this thread cuz I just received my 10000 mAh extended battery from zerolemon and wanted to post my results keep in mind this is the first day I've had the battery in and on the first full 12 hour charge that zerolemon recommends on the first charge and then it says to run the battery all the way dead but my sense I'm going to do the last 10% as shown in the picture but I'm going to charge it up full and going on today and see if I get any different results I was just curious on if anybody else has this battery yet and I wanted to see your results

I've had mine for 3 days, and this seems to be fairly consistent with the results that you're getting. after 1 day and 8 hours, I'm at 19%. slightly above yours, but not worryingly so. Im going to drain it down to 2-1%, and then charge it back up to 100% again. I believe if you do that for 5 charging cycles, it should be totally recalibrated. That said, you do not want to bring your battery that low on a constant basis, as it can damage lithium ion batteries.
I also use Battery Monitor Widget Pro, which gives a fairly accurate representation of how the battery is doing. I certainly recommend checking it out, for those of you who are starting to use the ZeroLemon battery.

after 2 days and 3 hours, I downloaded a battery drainer. The battery percentage was at 1% for a total of 12 hours, from 9pm yesterday, to about 9am this morning. I was able to continue watching Netflix and listen to Spotify at 1% both for about 2 hours respectively in that time frame. When I got into work this morning, I used the battery drainer for about 25 seconds before the phone finally quit on me and shut off the phone. I guess that means that Android is still trying to calibrate to the battery.
With all of that said, once you get down below 5% the phone shuts off the ability to manually adjust the screen brightness, and the stock music player will no longer allow you to play music (which is kind of a bummer, as I do have about 15 gigs of music on the phone, and had to switch to using Spotify on my bus ride home....through the Lincoln Tunnel). I don't know what else the phone shuts off, yet. I'll be sure to do a more in depth look next time it gets down that low...which may take another 2-3 days...

I've had my ZL battery since release (pre-order), I use it on and off. It still hasn't adjusted to having the larger battery. When it gets down to 3% I bump the corner and it resets the phone giving me 30+% more.
It still lasts way longer than stock, so that's good. I just wish the phone would show the correct battery level.

If I understand your question correctly, you're asking whether or not the phones been rebooted? If so, none. During that time of 4 days + hours, the phone went to standby mode when not in use. So I haven't turned off the auto standby mode off to leave the "screen on continously."
Just wanted to post a typical day for me. I play a game called ingress, it's a real battery hog.
The spike is a trick I do. When the phone gets really low it dims the screen and enters a power save mode. This sucks for playing a game in the day light... The trick is to give it a quick whack in the upper left corner, it moves the battery just enough to do a quick reset. You could do it manually, but sometimes that changes the battery history.

Do you guys leave always on display on? Should i leave it off the save battery?
I turned mine off. Kinda pointless IMO.
I don't think it is a substantial hit. It turns off when in a pocket.

Only you can decide what amount of screen on time you want and what gets sacrifices to get there. I'm easily getting through the day without turning it off and I like having the information. If you like it and you're getting the battery life you want by all means leave it running. Shiny new toys would just be new toys without the shiny.
I have it on from 6am to 10pm then off while I sleep. I find it useful at times during the day.

I turned mine off the day I got it. Reason for that since it uses AMOLED screen which means over time you'll get burn in (actually it's really burn out) which can't be fixed. From what I understand it moves slightly to prevent that. Still why chance it?
I have mine on all the time, but honestly I find it can be distracting often. I have gotten to the point of NOT wanting my phone to be bothering me 24/7, and have found actually turning it off for days at a time is a good thing. But that's kind of a different point... fact is, the AOD is something that attracts the eye and attention, and I find myself turning my phone face down or away from me so that I am not constantly looking at the AOD. Not the phone's or AOD fault, just how this works. It is nice to have the option of AOD and I don't think it effects the battery life much.
Mine is only off at night because I like to sleep in the dark. All day long it's super handy to be able to glance down at the phone to see the time and other info, plus it looks cool.
I keep it on 24/7. The battery consumption is too minimal for me to loose the information it provides if I were to disable it. As long as my device can last two days on a single charge I'm happy.
under what I would class reasonable use I'm getting from 6am till midnight and still having 40%+ of battery so can't really complain as it's not running the battery down enough to the point where I would want to save battery.
Love this feature and never turn it off. Makes a great night clock.

Battery consumption is definitely minimal. Two great things I learned from this thread: you can change the color, and you can set on/off times. Sweet.

Sadly i can't see an option to. I would love the ability to turn it down a bit as well
It can auto-off AOD when in the pocket or facing down.
