Better battery life out of an extended battery?????

I have an extended battery (2600). I was wondering, what does everyone do to get the most out of their extended battery if you have one? I'm hoping to get tips and or tricks from my fellow EVO users. If you have nothing positive to say, please don't post.. Any help is appreciated.

Are you rooted?
I use the stock battery on my rooted Evo and it lasts all day.

It really does depend on weather your rooted or not cuz on my stock battery I can go about a day in a half maybe a couple hours less MAYBE but then I have a Seidio 3500 mAh that can go exactly 2 days 1 hour and 38 minutes with heavy heavy use and also on a charge of 93 percent
So again are you rooted?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712990 check that thread, ever since i followed the steps my battery life is so much better. its been off the charger since midnight and i browsed fb for like 30 minutes, texted my wife n browsed the market for a bit and its only down to 89%. btw im using the stock battery.

Not really lol I think that's pretty good I'm guessing that you got that with moderate/heavy use?
You may wanna give another ROM a shot and see cuz battery life may very between them. As well as kernels.

actually thats with it just sitting there doing nothing while im working. lol I have ran god knows how many roms all with about the same battery life expectancy except SAV-ZEN which is and always will be my favorite AOSP rom. lol oh well, ill give swapping roms another go, thanks man.

Will give that one a go. I dled it a few days ago but i accidentally deactivated my EVO lol luckily i unrooted it and got it back to root just now so im going to give that one a go

Any stock kernel will not charge any extended battert correctly. I experimented with this for the last month.
I found an app called boot manager and now have 4 roms installed on my phone. At night I boot into a Froyo ROM with a SBC kernel and charge it, then in the am, boot into my Gingerbread ROM.

Yep. If I don't use my phone it will last all day and lose about 1.5% every two hours. I just recently switched to my current setup and am still not used to it. I'll unplug my phone at ~95% and head out the door. I'll pull it out of my pocket a number of hours later and see that it's only down to about 93% - 92%. Before I switched my setup I would've been down the low 80's if not lower. When I use it my battery depends on what I am doing with it and what I have my scaling set to. Using my phone for things like texting, facebook, email, and some web browsing on Skyfire, which is what I would consider heavy use, it goes down about 3.5% per hour. Yesterday I went to my little niece's dance class and I used my phone to record video of her entire 60 minute dance class. Battery went down about 30% percent from that but that's to be expected. I remained out of the house for another 8 hours after her class and my phone still had 50% battery left by the time I got home. Wireless tether eats up my battery. But Thats because I am usually tethering while texting and testing launchers and such on my phone.
I do all of this on a stock battery. So I can only imagine how much I'd be able to do with an extended battery.

I get 30+ hours on my extended battery 2600 from sprint. LOL on warm 2.2

see i ran WTPT for a long time because i loved the stability of it as well as the awesome batteyr life of it along with the option to SBC on the fly like SAV-ZEN. I'm not going to lie though, I love the GB's along with the carousel LMAO! X) i bet thats whats eating away at my battery lol

Did I FRY my CPU??

First of all im not putting down anyone and there custom roms. As I am an avid flasher of them and there great features..
However.. Ive noticed with every rom I flash, my battery life SUCKS. I know kernels are suppose to have battery saver mods, but never seem to work for my phone. The only way I seem to get great battery life is if I odin back to stock. Its seems to last forever on stock.
On stock.. I would average around 10% drain every two hours of moderate use.. mainly texting..
On Custom roms I average 10 to 15 % drain every hour with same moderate use..
My question is, Could Overclocking have caused this problem??

Quite possibly... And unfortunately, you have to test different Kernels with your ROM to see what works best, or just ask the Dev which Kernel they used when developing the ROM... That's a good way to get the best battery life because after all, that's the Kernel the Dev based the ROM off of. Another option is to check out Marcusants post on setting up your Kernel for your ROM, and I apologize if you've already tried that... I'm just trying to list options... I've had problems with different kernels on different ROMS... Well at least until Rodderik started making his Kernels with Viper ROMS... Then it started working perfect lol. How are you running your clocking? Conservative? Performance? Also, are you using SetCPU with an OC/UV kernel and the Voltage Control app? If you use the two together, it could cause a lot of issues, you'd have to choose one or the other.
On the other hand, I could be 100% wrong and it could be just your flux capacitor... You know how touchy those things are. Try chucking your phone over 88 MPH and see how that works. The next step is VERY important though... Whatever you do, don't forget to put your phone in airplane mode before you throw it in the air or it'll just fall right back down after a couple feet... Keep it in the air I always say.

Im hoping once I hit 88MPH it will go back in time to when my phone actually worked. haha
I usually just use the Kernel that comes with the rom..
However I have used Set CPU and Voltage control together once. I messed around with the setting between performance and conservative.

Orion, first off. If u remember how "beepers" worked back in the day, if u ever had one, that's how text messaging works. It triggers a small ping when being sent or receiving message. So text messages really hardly use power. As far as ur battery is concerned, try this method if u like, just to see what kind of results u get. Charge battery completely with phone on first and then off. Then boot into cwm and wipe ur battery stats. Then drain ur battery completely without charging it. Then completely charge it up, and then see how ur battery does.

One more thing. Anytime u change rom or kernel, update ur prl and profile, then reboot ur phone..it does make a difference doint this.

True, just don't wipe your battery stats too much, it could end up doing more harm than good. But good call, I overlooked that cuz I was being a smart ass lol... Please don't throw your phone, that's never a good idea haha.

Were you overclocking when your battery life sucked? What uses more gas, riding at 55MPH or 90MPH? What was your battery life like on custom ROMs with stock frequencies?

Battery was ok when I overclocked.. went down hill after that. Except whenever im on stock EI22 Gingerbread and it runs all day.
On custom roms with stock frequencies I would still see a significant drain.

I don't think you fried it if it's still running fine on stock. I'd be more likely to think you're overclocking with an aggressive governor that is making your cpu stay at higher frequencies.

I havent been doing any OC or UV in months now and still have the problems on custom roms. Perhaps I got the phone that doesnt like to be modded.. Damn Sprint ha

also screen brightness has a HUGE effect on battery life. also do you do games and such? Those can be very draining as well. I am on a viper rom going on 14hrs and still at 78%. but i mostly text with my phone. about 15,000 a month to be exact. and use f.b. and xda pretty heavily. and different kernels can make the difference between 6 hours and 20.

i will say that my phone is particular on what rom i do run no matter what kernel i use

I just mainly text and surf the web occasionally. Funny part though the only game I play rarely is Deer Hunter Challenge which is a pretty high def large file game and when i play that my battery doesnt seem to drain. Right now Ive gone down 10% over the last hour just sending about 15 texts. And I have my display set to auto brightness

It's real simple...overclocking equals faster cpu AND faster battery drain. Do not overclock or do not complain about battery...one or the other.

No oc or uving, this is complete stock KL1 kernel they way it came with the phone. I actually had great battery life (about 17 hours) on stock, but I switched to other custom kernels and didnt have so great battery life. So, I was looking for a stock kernel and in the end made this one and flashed today. So battery life should be like stock.

Quick Q, I can ODIN this over Juggernaut 4.1? Without a wipe/reset?

Yes. You should be able to flash this just like any other kernel with the exception. Of this being flashed via Odin

Thanks. I am getting ****ty battery life also. I have tried everything, faux's, bullet, synergy's different versions, Gideon's UV scripts, underclocking, undervolting, with complete wipe, different roms, you name it. I still I lose 20+% battery per hour while I read on my phone. 10-11% if its idle. Completely ridiculous. Just tonight I thought of trying the stock kernel. Plus anytime my phone is awake, the top portion of my phone gets hot. I'm hoping its a kernel issue.

That sounds really bad. I was getting horrible battery life on other kernels but not that bad (i got around an average of 7-8 hours on custom kernels). However, one thing about stock kernel is that once you flash it, you have to give it 2-3 days -sometimes more- to get full capacity battery life (around 17 hours heavy use for me).

I'll test it out. My only concern was that the phone would warm up for no reason. The only time my phone can save battery is in flight mode. 7 hours in flight mode take about 5-8% battery. So the issue is most likely radio/kernel related IMO. Even having sync/data off didn't help much. I also average 7-8 hours. It's just that when I have the phone on to a dark screen with white text on it (opera mini, it has no fancy stuff, good reader browser) I would lose at least 15% in about 45 minutes. This is with no music, no data activity at the lowest brightness setting.

So this is my battery life after the first day. I would say today was lots of heavy use for me. Usually around this time im charging from dead, but with this kernel I still have 30 percent left to go. So about 15-16 hours on one charge with heavy use .I've tried all the custom kernels and this is the best I've ever gotten....

This one helped lots. I unplugged my phone at 1AM (100% charged) and then put it in flight mode. At 7AM I turned off flight mode and had used up 1% in 6 hours. From then till 3:30 I went down to 50%.

shehrammajid,
Thanks for the stock kernel. I am also trying to learn how to build a stock kernel. I have made a post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22845175
Can you please take a look at my steps and see where I am going wrong? Also can you post the guide you followed by bubby323?
Thanks.

Battery life poor except for stock

I give up.every ROM I run just doesn't have the battery life expected. Am I expecting to much? Not even Cauks or blazer el29 doesn't give the battery life as stock.don't get me wrong they are all great roms but at least for my device not battery friendly. I'll post some battery stats from BBS if anybody has some free time to see what's going on. I'm on Cauks el29 now.I format everything before flashing and I use cauks format all many times. I'm on the verge of staying on stock roll my eyes.

Well when is the last time you used stock? And if it's been quite a while...consider having your battery checked out. Anyway, I'll continue as if your battery is fine from here on out. Basically, anything but stock tends to have a modified kernel. Even with all the battery tweaks, etc out there, there's a chance that the kernel itself might not play well with your phone. I'm not too versed in that, but I also noticed that the TouchWiz based ICS kernels/ROMs give MUCH better battery life than AOSP based kernels/ROMs such as CM9 and AOKP, etc. This is just basic stuff you might already know, but yeah, just go on and post your battery stats, preferably with a custom rom and a stock rom so we can see the difference and where it lies. Also, I'm running Touched by a Galaxy S3 on my phone and with moderate use (music for maybe a few hours a day, texting, don't really make many calls) I average between 8.5 and 11 hours from 100 to 0. Another thing I'd suggest is download CPU Spy from the Android market, or something similar if you prefer, and post screenshots from that on the custom ROM; the problem with AOSP and certain other GB and TW ICS roms that i've seen is that something prevents the processor from going into deep sleep mode, usually keeping it at 200mhz or higher. Lastly, when you use the custom roms, do you notice the phone getting really hot compared to the stock roms?

I'm assuming you know this but are you letting the battery cycle a few times before passing judgement? I usually spend a week on a rom before I decide if I have good/bad battery life... attached screenie is normal for me with moderate use on mijjhs goodness rom

I always had faster battery drains on ROMs than stock. I see all this awesome battery stats screenshots but noticed they all share one common factor, only 1hrs to 30min screen use. Come on guys why I would want that battery life if to get it I have to barely use the phone makes no sense to me.

Agree, everyone have different experiences, I haven't try that ROM yet, I will test it out later. Have a nice day/night sir.

Sadly I have to agree with OP.
And the previous screenshots at 59% with 1hr, 36 screen on is exactly the issue.
Hard to compare your battery stats with mine since screen on time for my phone will be 4+ hours.
Since there are no standardized testing anyone can do with any rom, any speculation on which rom has better battery life or doesn't is just pure bogus seat of the pants gut feelings.
If there were a standard test that ran like. 5 minutes of mail with 20 mails received, 10 minutes download, 30 mins of playing the exact same video, 13 music tracks of the exact same song all with screen, vibration, brightness, etc all at the exact same level, you could get a real test, but, alas, nobody has a standardized test.
For MY usage, stock clocks in at the same as or better than just about any other rom I've tried, including all the various super scripts out there.
I guess I just overuse my phone!

Also if you use caulks roms flash his under volt script as well. I was using his -75mv script stable. Which equaled amazing battery life.

Things drain battery. This is my test off wifi for the most part using the phone as a phone with average use. Didn't even log in to Google on this one. Just proof that intensive applications, google services, and anything else added after a "factory flash" can manipulate battery life significantly.
Oh, and check out drain when I'm in less than ideal coverage. Noticeable difference. One huge factor to consider when diagnosing battery life.

It really depends on what you're doing with the phone. Obviously having brightness up playing heavy games with Wimax on will kill battery faster than someone on low brightness reading an ebook with wifi on. That said, i agree that I've had better battery life stock than almost all ics roms.

Truth to the last word.. I hate battery life threads too many variables.. I love the part about " using the phone as a phone " you crack me up B..:laugh:

Kernel using up all my friends battery

Basically she just updated to fi27 but then her battery drains about 17% in 4 hours my gs2 drains about 1% in that time.
Installed gsam and got this. She is not rooted and does not wish to be so I cant install new kernel
says 42min of cpu usage

By the way did anyone notice Sprint changed the name from Epic 4g Touch to Galaxy S2? I like the latter better........

How long ago was the phone upgraded? chances are you just need to let the kernel settle in. Usually for me it take around a day for everything to normalize. If you still have the issue you can flash the Odin tar FI27 (no-root) and see if that fixes the issue...if its still there.

If you haven't already do the spin test as well, especially if the phone is 9+ months old. (Pull the battery, see if it spins easily on a flat surface) If it does it's bulging and you need to replace the battery.

Upgraded about a month ago pure stock
Yea I got her an extra battery and one for me....none of the batteries are spinning

What are the kernel wake locks? Use better battery stats to find out.
