hey guys just wondering what your average battery life was on your X10 and what ROM you had.
I am on Trips MiUi 1.4.0 baseband .49 and I used 24% in about 3 and a half hours. On slightly heavy use. Seems like some people are getting WAY more. What is yours and any ideas to improve it? Thanks!

YMMV - On a regular day, I get from 07:00 to like 19:00 on a charge
On a heavy day, I'll have to recharge like at 15:00. Mind you, heavy to me means >120 minutes of talk time, checking/replying to emails like 20 times a day, SMS ditto and some app use.
I have installed Ultimate Juice/Juice Defender. Seems to help somewhat.
Among a number of other factors (some of which can be controlled), battery use depends fairly heavily on how good a signal you are getting - GSM technology is not fixed power - the handset can boost and lower output power depending on signal strength.
Hope this helps!

Okay, that seems about right then. In my office I get between 2-4 bars depending on where my phone sits so I guess that might be part of it. Thanks for the help! =D
Forgot to mention - I'm on TripNMIuI 1.0.8/bb.52
Tried 1.3, but was getting signal issues (signal/no signal) like many others. Waiting for 1.5
If battery could magically be extended to like 2 days, the X10 would probably be a keeper for another year.....battery is to me the main drawback of modern Smartphones. Used to have a Blackberry 8820 - got stolen - 2G only. Battery lasted a week. Totally amazing.
On trip's froyo rom 1.30 i get about 32 hours on standby with moderate use.
I have a 2.1 Stock ROM with Multitouch and JIT enabled, mine lasts like 5-6 hours on continuous use like watching YouTube and browsing, with normal use like 3 hours of browsing, tweeting all day and one or two calls it lasts for 12-14 hours.
Well the best battery i experienced was on stock ROM rooted + JIT installed and this xda guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934486
for me battery lasted for about 2-2 1/2 days on normal use, but i used SPB shell instead of home launcher..
now im on Trips MIUI and battery lasts not even half of before..
Thats what i had just for that (;

What settings are you using for Juice Defender? I just flashed to froyo and juice defender worked miracles in 2.1 but now it does all kinds of weird stuff (like disabling my home network while i have wifi enabled ) and doesn't buy me any battery life and i'm kind of disappointed
Yah cheap asses, I got three batteries and a external charger off Ebay for 14$ shipped to me. The hell with battery life!

Hate to post anything about battery life, but I must. I would post this in the dev thread but not enough posts yet.
First off battery life was not that bad on froyo and understand GB has issues but this seems a bit extreme. I am running Full version of Gingetitis and other state battery life is great but not for me. I did full drain and battery wipe and calibration last night but seems even worse now . Phone has been on for 37 minutes and battery is down to 80%. brightness is turned all the way down, screen off in 1 minute, I have run speedtweak and set to battery saver, no gps, no blue tooth. I love gingeritis and the sense 3.0 so any assistance would be great.
Nope battery life is terrible on chingys GB rom. I was running it not good.

which kernel you are using?
i use the mr2 radio and 3.0.1 kernel. The batterylife is worse than froyo i agree, but it shouldnt be too bad to not last for a day.
Also, i think 4G drains a lot. My area switched form 3G to 4G and its gone worse.
I am running the default kernel, haven't flashed anything else. Unfortunately I do not live in an area with 4G so I just get 3g, I do run WiFi when at home.
I have the same issue.
I just tweak the speedtweak into option 5)
I went out taday. tb lost 10% battery per hr. Is this normal?

Did you turn off 3g in the settings?
I have turned off 3g lately, when I can get wifi, to see if it will help but haven't noticed much difference.
This is interesting because I'm on gingeritis with the included kernel and my battery life has been very good.

If everyone post their usage and battery drain condition. That will be more help us to realize our TB. Cause we might have different phone before, and we might compare TB with our privious phone. So I think this is the different replies on this thread.
ex. my previous phone is droid 2 global, and it has terrible battery drain as well.
Now I got TB for a couple days, and I feel TB get more battery drain problems. (of course, it is the first 4G LTE phone )
kernel: imoseyon 3.01
baseband: 1.39.00.0430
rom: Gingeritis v1.0
and I set speedtweak.sh as battsaver 5) and battery tip on rom's op.
that's I do to my phone now.
And I lost 10% battery life per hour (use 4G to surf on net)
Is my battery drain case terrible?
(I think only comparsion can help us to know where is the problem )
flashed a kernel a zip file,and 2 fonts.
Rebooted 4 time I total.

I agree! I was running BAMF froyo remix with outstanding battery life. Made the switch to gingeritis and the battery life was so-so, tried the dream kernel and for a few days the battery life was as good as froyo. Then random reboots forced me back to stock kernel with gingeritis with normal on speedtweak and it is slightly better than before.
There should be a new dream kernel out soon, I plan to try that one when it drops, dream kernel was great when it worked.

your stock kernel version is?
I am running gingeritis and a full charge last me about 7 hours, on a good day. Mind you, I am over clocked to 1.4 and have a bad habit of checking my phone even when I haven't felt it vibrate or heard it ring. Because of this, I started to notice that when I would pull my phone out of my pocket, the screen would be on. I'm assuming that my constant movement at work is causing my volume button to be pressed, resulting in my display eating up 50% of my battery.
I've been running BAMF Remix Beta 6 for almost a week now. I just got the extended battery a few days. It's lasted anywhere from 12-16 hours on a full charge with 4G always on. Earlier today I had it on 3G only and lost 25% in about 4 hr and 40 min. I am using batterysaver in speedtweak.sh with the kernel that came with the ROM.
I am still on 2.2 froyo and waiting for the official gingerbread update. I remember reading that 2.3.4 ginger bread was supposed to improve battery life.
For the people who already jumped ship and upgraded to 2.3.4, do you guys see any significant battery changes? Good or Bad?
Ever since 2.3.4 my battery sucks a lot!

My battery lasts only 8 hours with 2.3.4 and when I was using 4.1.8.3 with gingerblur 4.5 it lasted almost 12 hours. Not to happy right now
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
My battery has been pretty miserable after switching to 2.3.4. I'm a pretty heavy user, but before the switch, it usually lasted a whole day. Now, I'd be happy to get 10 hours. It's not so much of a problem for me, because I can usually get to an outlet to give it a bump charge during the day. I would definitely switch back to a 2.2 build if it wasn't for the CRT animation. That's probably my favorite addition to Android 2.3.
This has been discussed before and some people found that battery life is improved by freezing some social apps.
The battery on my Atrix lasts about sixteen hours.

My battery lats very long. I can go on an all day cycling trip, where I'm being gps tracked the whole time with a cycling app, location updated to the cloud on google latitude, checking in at new places I visit on foursquare and google+, taking and uploading photos along the way, some SMS, some email, etc, and I get home and the battery is at 60%.
On work days, it's off the charger at 7am, and when I go to bed around midnight it's still over 50%. WiFi on, Bluetooth on (and paired to a stereo headset to listen to music for a couple hours each day on the bus to Redmond), doing nothing at all to conserve battery.
I bought a spare battery because I just got the phone when the HKTW build leaked, and everyone was saying the battery life was atrocious. I take it with me when I'm going to be away from electricity all day, but have yet to even come close to needing it.
Mine sucked bigtime whatever i tried, so i'm back to froyo

Yes most battery consumption (52%) comee from phone idle than in second place is screen and the app that uses the most is pulse but only 7% and I spend lot of time using it. Reconsidering going back to 4.1.8.3

One time I did see horrendous battery life, and it was just after I installed Google+ and enabled the auto upload feature. Unbeknownst to me, it scanned my SD card and was uploading everything, not just new images. Hours of the phone being warm in my pocket should have indicated something was up.
When I checked, it was "phone idle" taking up all the battery. Those seeing phone idle high up on the list, are you on baseband 01.97.00R? I know I wasn't initially, but then flashed it wondering about 4G speeds and such. Didn't improve my speeds, but I don't see phone idle up high on my list.

I configured my Google+ instant upload feature only to start uploading when I plug the charger in and when I'm using wifi (when I get home). Currently using baseband 01.77.15P don't know what else could it be. I think its because the hktw is only a beta release
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
definitely very beta. The key thing to take away from all the bugs people have discovered is that it is very inconsistent. Seems like no two people experience the same set of issues.
To the OP: give it a try on a day you'll be near power, and if the battery life is poor for you after doing tweaks (like Navalynt's mod which packages up a lot of the fixes people have made), go back to 2.2. Simple enough.
I have been running it as my main build and it works fine here for battery. Been flying around and this thing has been working great. Average of about 13 hours on some good usage (watching 1 hour video podcast and a lot of audio podcasts) wifi and gps on , streamed espn for an hour and a bunch more and still working great.
THe battery has been conditioned here and there and working good but I will always check the usage and see whats eating it and freeze those that I dont need. That always helps everyone.

It's definitely worse.
I'm just curious to see how everyone's doing with battery life on the new software leak. Lately I've been getting HORRIBLE battery life. For the past 2 days, I've only gotten 4-5 hours with moderate to heavy usage. This was worse than what I was getting with ICS ROMS before the leak. The reason I update to the new firmware is because I heard people were getting exceptional battery life off just the stock battery.
I think the reason may be I haven't completely charged it because it was stuck at 99% for like an hour before I took it off the charger. I finally just let it charge all night and I will see how it goes today. I'm curious to see how everyone else is doing with battery life.
Also, if you could, state which ROM you're using and possibly what things you turn on/off to help/hinder battery life.
I'm running BAMF v1.1.1, my screen's on auto-brightness, I only sync my gmail account and weather, 90% of the time I use Wi-Fi, no GPS or BT on at all. I also have Juice defender on as well.
Edit: Well actually I just checked my phone and after about an hour and 50 minutes, my phone was down to 91%. about an hour and a half of that was streaming pandora on wi-fi. Maybe I just never had it charged completely. Screen on time was only about 20 minutes, though. I think that's pretty solid battery life. I guess I'll see how today rolls out.
Oh and also if you could state which battery you're using. I have the 3.7 V.
Edit: Since making this thread, my battery life has gotten considerably better. It idles just fine, now. I think there might have been something wrong with the screen off profile which was causing my battery life to be so horrible.
I would suggest using Scott's CleanWipe 5x when switch ROM's. I don't know why and it may seems a little unnecessary, but I'm getting a lot better battery life after using that and upgrading to BAMF v1.2 from CleanROM 4.1. Also, I turned off automatic brightness to 30% which I think has made a pretty good difference. The screen is a huge battery killer. I played Temple Run for like 20 minutes and the battery went down from 98%-77%. But I can get a 9% battery drop from sleeping for 9 hours with the phone completely idol.
It looks like 1/3 of the people are getting worse battery while 2/3 are getting the same or better. If I could revote I would and say my battery life is better now. So anyone hesitating to flash the new RUU. I'd say go for it. The odds are still with you: 66.666667% vs. 33.333333% that you will still get equal or better battery life.
mine is about the same.
I'm honestly felt like the battery improved last night i was streaming videos on youtube for an hour then was reading 4 chapters on a manga while using poweramp the battery when down from 63 to 55 percent.im using 3000mah, usually it would of been lower.

To those having worse battery life, mind saying what ROM, and stuff you are comparing your results against?
I'll be watching this closely as I've been straddling the fence on upgrading to the leak. I usually don't take this long to jump in the fray no matter what my phone has been. I have heard more good than bad about the leak overall. But you never know if they are legit concerns or people overlooking things just to be running ICS. I'm curious to see what battery life people are getting.

I've been running BAMF, but I switched over to CLEANROM 4.1 and I'm gonna see how that works out for me.
I've been getting about 5 hours tops with the new firmware as opposed to 10 hours with the same amount of usage on GB.
I use the extended battery, and I can honestly say I'm getting 5+ hours. From 100% to complety shutdown I would get 30+ hours with pretty heavy usage. Right after I updated I charged up to 100% and used it probably the same as I had before, pretty heavy use, I got 35+ hours.
Something is definitely better here.

Can people please start stating what ROM they're using, battery voltage, power saving tips. What governor, kernel, underclocked?
I'm using the leak ICS 4.0 Rom. By battery has gone way down. A couple 2-3 minute phone, a few text an my battery will be drained in about 6 hours. The phone is getting hot and draining the battery. On gingerbread, I could go 8 hours with streaming, texting, playing games and more before my battery was drained.

BAMF 1.1....normal power saving tips, stock kernel/gov. I'm getting better battery life with it.
My battery has been very bad ever since 3.6. Really thought 4.1 would fix it, but it's actually a little worse. I get 6 hour with light to moderate use. One thing I noticed, when I check my battery and usage, it says screen: 79%, WiFI 9%. But when I click on the graph to get history details, It shows a solid blue line for WiFi, and a solid, but two tone gold for Mobile network signal.
With other screen shots I've seen, wifi is usually a scattered, broken line. As if the wifi is shutting down at times conserving battery. Is there something I'm missing? Or is it supposed to be solid blue? Also, normally in the screen shot, the mobile network line is green, mine is yellow/gold. I am guessing that's just the quality of the network signal, but wanted to verify.
Mine seems like its draining alot quicker.

I don't know what you people do, but I consider myself semi heavy user. Today I streamed BT music for an hour at the gym, streamed one movie off Netflix and watched a good few YouTube wrestling matches and had a few calls here and there and a good 50 texts....reading some off the Kindle app and I got 11 hours before a charge.
I get 12-18 on normal usage. Was a light day at work, lol!

This does not look good at all especially the last drop. You might have a rogue app. I would factory reset and start over only few apps at a time so I can identify the app. You may also wanna try other battery like anker.

This behaviour is definitely irregular... Those sharp drops and sudden spikes could be from the battery not being calibrated properly. On average, my Amaze with stock battery lasts me about 14-16 hours with 2.5-3 hours of screen time (lowest brightness most of the time).

Most android phones really need to be rooted so you can fully tweak the battery life. My amaze got roughly 16 hours with normal to heavy use with bullet proof 4.0. My phone I'm using now, the mytouch 4g gets around 24 hours with the same use. Before I would be lucky to get 8 hours with either phone. IV learned that you can either complain about things, do something about it, or just get an iPhone and go away . The beauty of android is the ability to go in and tweak.

its no different from when I was stock on my g2 to when I was rooted, sometimes you just have to tweak a few things to see a vast improvement.
Morning all,
I just woke up and unplugged my phone from the charger after leaving it to charge all night, right. As soon as I unplugged it, THE BATTERY DROPS 96% IN A MATTER OF SECONDS and I get the less than 5% of battery remain. I was like WTF?!?
I believe I found my problem....
Btw, I am on a rooted stock rom and I would consider myself a normal user. Calls, sms, and emails are the primary uses of my phone.
I am completely stock and get about 16hrs to a charge... I run miui music or stock music app for roughly 4 to 6 hrs a day and surf here and market and a bit of gaming.
I set screen brightness to 20% and keep my internet and blue tooth etc off most of the day....
I desperately want to debloat but I'm holding stock till ICS.
Rogue app sounds right along with the bloat like Google maps and Facebook eating up our batteries..
I also use a task manager to kill on command......
We have a hodgepodge setup of bloatware and settings in stock format... But I'm waiting and earning an ulcer till ICS as I know the upgrade will open the door to real development of truly good stuff

For reals though.... Total bs that most of these phones have battery issues.

I was getting about 3 hours of battery life on Faux's kernel. When I switched to stock I was getting 18 hours
This is my battery from when I woke up until now, about 10 hours so far.
Light usage so far, just while I was at work. Screen was on for an hour.
I'm very happy with my battery life, if I leave the screen off I barely lose any battery not even 1% an hour.
Energy Rom Stock Kernel.

so what was the problem? I saw a huge improvement with faux on stock debloated rom, easily getting a day out of it and sometimes 2+ days with light use.
