I'm having a lot of problems with Wapedia lately, it gives me a "Connection refused by the host", no matter for what I search?
Does this happen to anybody else?
i dont have this problem,
but wapedia eats battery in the background, i dont use it anymore
I reinstalled it, now it's working.
How have you found out that it kills battery? Maybe it would help if you installed a task killer and set it to be automatically killed.
i have installed it at a random night, start to use it while my battery is charged to 100%. When the battery is charged and i want to go to bed, i switched the phone to airplane mode and went to sleep. At 8Am i noticed that my battery has dropped to 80% which is not normal. Normally when i switch to airplane mode it drops only 2-4 percent. And also the screen on time keeps on counting when the display is of, this is also not normal.
I can use a task killer, but i prefer not to. I dont want to kill a task everytime when i close it.
When I run the latest android build on my Tilt 2, it flies through battery like no other.
Are there any settings I can tweak to get at least a full day's worth of use out of it (mostly in standby anyways)?
Thanks
Regards

I'd love to hear anyone's tips as well. As mentioned here:

Setting the sleep mode = 1 doesn't seem to work for me. The processor seemingly goes to sleep and enters a coma (yes, I set the clock speed back to stock in the startup.txt).
One quick tip to the OP is set the clock speed to stock.
Edit: sleep mode = 0 seems to work (GSM phone here). However, deleting the "acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=XXX" line from the startup.txt and setting sleep=1 just might work as well.
Edit2: sleep mode = 0 seems to result in the phone functionality breaking. It stopped waking up to phone calls after a while, and calling out wouldn't work either. Damn.. Just a heads up.
1. Close every program that you don't use on startup of android. You can do this with advanced task killer.
2. Run stock speeds.
3. Turn down the screen brightness.
4. Make sure your phone goes to sleep when you are not using it (green led = sleep)
Is advanced task killer installed by default?
Also, how can I clock it to stock? I wasn't aware that it was overclocked past stock.
Screen brightness makes sense, I'll definitely do that.
So, if green is sleep, what is the orange?
Thanks

I reckon hepatic feedback would drain a little battery on its own probably best to turn that off
This is all true. I'll have to do that.
Still figuring it all out. Once I can get a solid 18-24 hour charge cycle out of it, Android will become my primary OS, easily. Simply works better, IMO
For me sometimes it's green, sometimes it's Orange - not sure how to change it back green -
I use Advance Task Killer, but then i also read that Froyo 2.2 doesn't need a task killer?
The two things that have helped battery life the most were:
-Switching to stock clock speed (the reference over the overclocked BLZN which i loved but killed the battery life)
-turning off background processes... i only turn it on when i have to (using the market, etc)
I would love to hear more tips
The colours are not that hard.
Red/orange = awake
Green = sleeping
If the LED stays red, then your device is doing something, you can either wait or try closing the programs with the task killer. That will help sometimes.
For returning to stock speeds read the faq And advanced task killer can be downloaded in the market.
Thank you guys all so much, big, big help to me!
Android is definitely going to be my full time OS shortly

Its kind of tough trying to go anywhere without a charger nearby. The battery drains quickly and on top of that the actual battery meter is off.
So sometimes that is a main issue

Indeed but that is something that they are working on it as we speak. Give them time
I ran a test last night before going to sleep to see how long the phone lasts.
Charged my phone fully. Ran advanced task killer and killed all the programs. Put the phone in deep sleep ( green light).
Woke up 7 hours later and phone was completely dead. I do have auto sync turned on, but only over wifi, so it should not have used any data as i have the data turned off and no widgets on my home screens that auto-update.
I'll try again tonight for a shorter time (5 hours).
Running the blazn aug 30th build.

How did you 'put the phone in a deep sleep'
I turned off all auto updates.
The next day i did the test again, charged the phone to 100% and used the phone moderately for 8 hours before the battery died.
Without overclocking i can safely say i can get the phone to last 8 hours with moderate to heavy usage, which is excellent.
My main problem with the new updates are that it constantly restarts or crashes after using it for less than 30 minutes while before I could use it for several hours. Not sure whether it's to do with battery life or not as when it boots back in WM the battery is near full.
The biggest things that have helped conserve battery life for me are disabling GPS and background syncing but some apps require this to be enabled. :S
Phone seems to recover from "sleep"
FWIW, I set sleep mode = 1 and removed the overclock line from the startup.txt and the phone SEEMS to sleep and "wake up" just fine. Previously, I had problems with the phone going to sleep and when waking up, everything seemed fine, but the phone didn't work. With the overclock line removed, it seems to "wake up" with the phone working now.
Just a heads up to anyone who wants to save battery life.. might want to remove the overclocking line in the startup.txt..
Hi all
I used my Nexus as a alarm clock last night and put the nexus in aeroplane mode overnight. It was on 67% battery at 11pm when I went to sleep, when the alarm work me up at 6.30 the battery was at 55%.
Does this seem a bit it excessive?
Airplane mode doesn't stop apps from draining battery. I run cleanrom with wifi on all the time and get better standby, so i would install something like better battery stats or wakelock detector to see whats causing drain.
I always sleep with airplane mode on. It drains about 2 to 4% (top) on 8 hours. Used Waterlock detector with grenefy (with advanced features) to optimize it a long time ago.
I've had better luck just turning off WiFi itself instead of using airplane mode when putting the tablet to sleep. I know it's counterintuitive, but it seems to drain the battery far less.
Thanks all.... I'm not rooted so can't do the wake lock thing
I tried putting my phone into airplane mode to figure out why the cell signal standby was draining my battery so quickly - it would have higher battery used than SOT sometimes! So I put it into airplane mode, but turned on WiFi so I could still get calls/texts. I noticed the battery usage was still occurring!
I turned off WiFI and kept it into airplane mode and tha seems to have stopped the use, but is there a fix for this? This phone should not be spending it's entire life looking for a signal - unless the stats are lying to me my battery life could double without this huge amount going to cell standby.
Hi guys...
My phone won't go into deep sleep and I use the app CPU Spy Reloaded to check with.
Others with the same problem?

No problem with deep sleep here. I used 6% battery power last night. I normally put my phone on the charger when I go to sleep but forgot to. Noticed it was at 58% when I last put it down and right now it's at 52. I slept for 6 hours. Not bad I'd say. Getting close to iPhone awesome standby usage.
I had to greenify some apps. Problem solved ?
/CK
Mine on idle isn't great either. Looks like as default a lot of my apps weren't being put to sleep. Did a search in settings for "sleeping apps" and added most to sleep. Let's see if that'll fix it.

It's a Samsung. Give it a couple of weeks and it will calm down by itself
My phone had trouble with very bad standby time. Coming from a P30 Pro,that lost 1% while i was asleep,to note 10 plus that kept loosing over 8% in the nighttime while i was asleep.
I simply gave a reset network settings,reset settings and after that a factory reset with no backup whatsoever..just set it up like a new phone and this fixed it for me.
I used Gsam battery monitor and before this my phone would not go into deep sleep,and now it did the whole night and lost just 2%:fingers-crossed:
