So ObsidIan rocks and already gives great battery life but I do see posts where people are claiming battery life lasting up to sixteen hours of moderate use with battery to spair. Anyone got any suggestions?

All I did was recondtion. Drain to 0 recharge fully wipe battery stats. I get great battery life

I'm at 16 hours right now with about 24% left to spare. Use has been moderate/heavy today.
Thanks, looks like when I did the wipe I didn't do it when it was at 100%, nor did I drain the battery all the way. I will have to do that. Going to get Onyx right now

A while back when the Vibrant was solely on 2.1, I was running on Bionix Fusion v1.0 along with the JI2 modem. With that combination, I was getting some pretty amazing battery life on the order of 65% remaining after two and a half days of light usage. Now, after upgrading to 2.2 (on Obsidian), my battery life has significantly dropped—just idling over night, the battery loses about 15% of its charge.
Is there any way to regain that awesome battery life or is this just a side effect of having the latest and greatest?
All 2.2 roms are known for excessive battery drain

Just out of curiosity—will that always be the case or will things start to change as people adopt the new official 2.2 as a base for their ROMs?
Its because the speed boost in froyo, but there are plenty of tips on how to save battery

Not really.
Everyday, I have my battery charged to 100% in the morning and i bring it to school. I leave my phone in my locker till 3:30 everyday but it every time i take it out, the battery is always drained from 50% and lower.
Should i get a new battery or somthing?

Is BT/Wifi on?
Low reception also causes battery draining.
Nope. and it doesnt happen at home when im also on the wifi..

I have noticed 3G draining battery much faster than wifi. And it will also depend on what applications are running. When you say your battery lasts longer on wifi, its good battery.

What ROM do you have?
Have you reconditioned/recalibrated?
Have you changed the default kernel from the ROM your using? if so, name the kernel
how
how do you reclaibrate..i am using simply arabic rom..i am using kernel 2.4.1
Omg this happened to me!
Im 14, exact same thing happened to me. Just last week though i broke my phone and htey sent me a new vibrant. The battery stays at 91% or more now after school doing nothing with it, when it used to be at like 40%. Maybe it's the new battery IDK, but a huge differance.

Almost everyone does it differently around here, this is what worked for me.
Full charge your battery, wait for it to drain (reach minimum 5% or better yet wait for the phone to turn off), now charge continuously for 100%. Unplug then plug the phone to the charger again (its not yet fully charged) after it reaches 100% this time boot into recovery go to advanced and wipe battery stats.
Try the "spare parts" app, it tells which app is eating your power up.
thats exactly the same thing that happened to me.... so i'd recomend you to flash a new rom TRIGGER once you flash it download a kernel from the vibrant developement and its called TIGERS BLOOD and the rom comes with an app called BATTERY CALIBRATION and just lije they told you.. wait for your fone to be fully charged and open that app and theres goin to be a button that says START CALIBRATING and now when i go to school till i get out my fones battery life its only 73% and i play games in it so if i dudnt play games at all it'd be like 80% or 85% of battery life....

I reccomend a very easy fix which contains two parts. Recondition the battery usin battery calibration app in market. Do this at 0% and 100% be sure to let the phone fully charge and die with no interruption.
Next get setcpu from the market and set it to powersave. Those two things should leave you around 95% battery. ROM shouldnt matter as much with these settings. Also cut off your data, wifi, bluetooth, anything your not using.

I just recently bought an extended battery for my fassy. As some of us know erasing battery stats in cwm "helps battery life". In reality its showing more accurate battery stats so that it doesnt drop several percent rapidly to compensate. My question is: does it really work like that and will switching between the stock 1500mah and extended battery 2400mah distort the battery reading? Or cause any other problems for that matter....m

I have the naztech 2400 battery. I have wiped my stats after a full charge. Doesn't seen to hurt anything. Mine. Appears to report correctly.

i have had my phone for 1.5 years now and have installed at least 50 -100 roms and kernels. sometimes multiple re installation. i am on JB right now and battery is not that great. i know known issue. i am thinking all the times i had to recalibrate the battery and not waiting till it fully discharged may have affected it. i have overheated the phone on more than a few occasion.
what would the average life span off a battery be? i am thinking its time to purchase a new one.
thks
Compared to ur usage, ur battery did good, normally 2 to 3 years a battery can last, under moderate usage!

Battery life is waaaay too subjective.
IMHO if you can make it through the entire day without needing to top your battery off in the middle, then your battery is going its job.
If not and you're not heavy on it then grab another Motorola OEM online...

Battery will discharge increasingly faster as you will use.
Depends on when you say, ready to here.
At least two years should be decent.

hey guys I'm looking for a battery app that will tell me when the phone wakes and what exactly is draining the battery. My dad is experiencing horrible battery life over night. He had a fully charged S4 and he left it overnight and it was down to 25% and I looked in the stock battery app and Google services sucked up 36% which I know can't be right. Any idea what's happening?

I would try Wakelock Detector. That will tell you what's waking the phone when it's sleeping.

In my experience you will never truly be happy with battery life until you root and flash a new ROM and Kernel. I can finally achieve 24 hours of battery life on the stock battery using the setup in my signature. It is worth looking into.
